Because I’m so pressed for time these days, back during the holidays I sat down and wrote out a podcast schedule for the month. I figured impeachment would be a hot topic this week, so I assumed I’d have plenty of impeachment related news items to talk about this week. Instead, everything about this farce is a snoozer. Even the lefty news outlets are struggling to pretend they are enjoying it. Adam Schiff’s big show is a good reason why the Finns have the word myötähäpeä.
The only angle to this thing of any interest to me is the bizarre circling back to the Russian collusion hoax. I think most of us thought the fakers knew the story was fake, but they were hoping to fool people with it. That may be true with some of them, but it seems clear that people like Adam Schiff really do believe this stuff. He thinks the Cossacks are warming up, waiting for Trump to give the signal. He is a deranged lunatic, who belongs in an asylum.
A long time ago I tried to think of a metric one could use to measure the general lunacy of the ruling class of a society. For instance, measure the distance between official truths from actual truths. The greater the distance, the nuttier the people in charge of the society. Think about some of the things that come out of North Korea about the Dear Leader or whatever they are calling the guy now. Compare that to what the Swiss say about their president, for example.
Another possible measure is the amount of propaganda expelled by the ruling class either in volume or intensity. The more they harangue their subjects, the greater the distance between them and reality. The trouble with this approach is we are swimming in made-up nonsense. Spend a little time watching television. The North Koreans install loudspeakers in the town square to blast propaganda. Americans install flat screens in their homes to receive the official truth.
Conceptually, it works, but measuring official insanity is probably best left to general instinct, rather than some money ball approach. Five minutes watching the bug-eyed lunatic on the Senate floor is all you need to know about a significant portion of the American political class. Further, the tolerance of a mentally unstable person in the Congress, tells us the whole lot are beyond saving. In Washington, a kook like Adam Schiff is not out of the ordinary. He is the norm.
This week I have the usual variety of items in the now standard format. Spreaker has the full show. I am up on Google Play now, so the Android commies can take me along when out disrespecting the country. I am on iTunes, which means the Apple Nazis can listen to me on their Hitler phones. The anarchists can catch me on iHeart Radio. YouTube also has the full podcast. Of course, there is a download link below.
For sites like this to exist, it requires people like you chipping in a few bucks a month to keep the lights on and the people fed. It turns out that you can’t live on clicks and compliments.

Saw yesterday where a man confronted Lizzie Gibs about her plan to cancel college loan debt. He pointed out that he worked two jobs, didn’t take vacations, and didn’t buy a bunch of toys so he could responsibly pay his off. Meanwhile, his neighbor who built his house of sand did none of those things, was going to skip out on his obligations courtesy of her. She seemed to think that it was funny and even then wanted to shake his hand and have his support. A great writer like Shakespeare would have made up such a scene in order… Read more »
Well said Brother and the reason is we offer no effective resistance to them so they laugh at us…
About the impeach-MINT farce. Last year I dragged mysel to the executive meeting for our rod and gun club. As you might imagine there were a LOT of seniors involved… and I left halfway through, vowing never to return. They fought about the STUPIDEST chit you can imagine! Instead of tending to the club’s business and interests, it as basically a grumpy old man dog fight. When you look at the Donk leadership… it speaks for itself. Biden forgets where he is and starts prattling. The fake Indian can’t handle any dissent or opposition whatsoever. Bernie’s had a stroke. Pelosi… Read more »
It’s either the senior citizen Alzheimer’s Democrats or the AOC wing.
It only gets worse
Not a comment on the podcast but on your statement that “it seems clear that people like Adam Schiff really do believe this stuff. He thinks the Cossacks are warming up, waiting for Trump to give the signal. He is a deranged lunatic, who belongs in an asylum.” You are missing something here. I do not think he believes any of this. You do not have to follow Q to see that he is a desperate man whose corruption, and the corruption of a large swath of our political class, is being threatened with exposure. The Biden family may be… Read more »
Washington has a problem, $7B of Ukrainian aid is missing, every time they point to Russia, the other 3 fingers are pointing back to them… Hoping nobody notices
The difference between reality and what is said about leadership is not only a message about the quality of the leadership, but is also a message about the coercive ability of the leadership to perpetuate the deception. In an informed population (yeah, I know), that was actually allowed to express itself without severe penalty, pretense of leadership competence would be quickly dashed, when the truth is otherwise.
^^THIS
Q, as in Q Anon? Seriously invoking that fraud’s name should automatically revoke your internet rights. I jest, but come on…really, Q Anon?
The problem with Q is the false hope, passivist fairytale aspect. Q’s analysis/speculation is really no more ridiculous than many others which are considered more “reputable.”
How about this for a metric: Quantify the tyranny by the number of times one is reminded of Huxley’s Brave New World or Orwell’s 1984. Whether its the anesthetization via teevee and smartphones, or the continual steaming cowpies from our Ministry of Truth, I estimate I’m reminded of these books about 1000-times more than I was 30 years ago.
“The only angle to this thing of any interest to me is the bizarre circling back to the Russian collusion hoax”
The thing that has amazed me over the decades is how the ruling class lies to the people all the time and they continue to get away with it. The only sure thing is that any “official story” is false. I first saw this with the JFK assassination coverup, but it has been repeated on many fronts down through the years.
Does anyone here really believe the 9-11 story from the government?
Just a few minutes with the average American should dispel any amazement. Most of the people in this country are dumb as a bag of hammers, and this is by design.
A_S, I had jury duty the other day and just under half of the prospective jurors had filled out their surveys incorrectly and had to be helped by the clerk in completing a new form. Very basic stuff. Not at all encouraging.
Life in Memphis?
Massachusetts.
“Does anyone here really believe the 9-11 story from the government?”
Heh, no, and I think you mean “narrative”, not story. But then too the 9/11 truthers movement was a also high-powered magnet that efficiently attracted a prolific amount of stupid people.
Isn’t that historically true though? The Great Unwashed have always been manipulated or lied to. The key has always been: can the ruling elite provide for the masses. Nevermind how risible our ruling elite is; they are able to provide comfort to the citizenry (i.e. mass media, drugs, $5 chickens, rent-to-own, etc.). When that falls, the elite falls. And then the Great Unwashed will start seeing through the BS. (Though I worry that the G.U. won’t come to our side as much as grab weapons and murder each other.) I guess my point is to get as many people on… Read more »
TBH, the reason people were interested in the Clinton impeachment were the salacious details, drama/morality play (adultery!), and partisanship, not the civics lesson. Such is human nature. The Trump impeachment is not even good theater.
Agreed. And I’m the same age as Zman and I cannot remember having one conversation with anybody about it at the time that wasn’t in a mocking tone. But I was a hipster and a Gen X’er so we mocked everything. Sincerity and earnestness were considered the biggest evils.
You are on to something dear Zman,
Units of measurement in regards to cloud insanity: Schiffs (as in “That statement is 3.5 Schiff units from sanity”)
Units of official truth vis a vis actual truth: Epstein Scale (“That Washington Post story is 2 standard deviations off on the Epstein Scale”)
Or like that conservative radio gal who rates movies- “I give it 3 Marxes, the next one at least two Reagans”, etc.
(She uses whatever comes to mind and ya get it immediately.)
Or measuring Ben Shapiro’s diminuativeness in Joe Rogan units.
These are the kinds of comments that cheer me up and make me laugh lol The Schiff scale:
– “Race is only skin deep”/”Men and women are the same”: 1.0 Schiff left of sanity
– “Diversity is our strength”/”We need more female math professors”: 2.0 Schiffs.
– “Doxxing bigots/haters is protecting free speech”: 3.0 Schiffs
– “A dude who identifies as woman IS a woman”: 4.0 Schiffs
– “A 7 yr old boy who says he’s a girl needs transgender surgery or hormone therapy”, ie off the perverted, evil and insane scale: 5.0 Schiffs
Schiff-Con 5?
Does Schiff really believe his insanity? Dunno. But my take is he is frustrated the counter-arguments even exist; it drives him and the ruling class absolutely insane. While average Americans are dumber than rocks, even they find this BS hard to swallow. The ruling class’ madness is fueled by its awareness the propaganda no longer is effective or as effective. Repression will increase but probably won’t have much of an effect.
This isn’t ending well because the ruling class is just as stupid as the ruled.
Schiff is a friendless, perverted, embittered old faggot who finally has his chance to destroy the big, bad, successful heterosexual White man and his women who made him feel so inadequate as a youth. Schiff speaks for millions of screeching liberal losers, male, female, or undecided. And he just may succeed in tilting at this particular windmill.
Behind the throne not sitting on it. The little hats are successful when they go unnoticed. They understand this. In part due to tribal chutzpah and to the rapidly growing number of people catching on, they have chosen to move into the limelight. As with the Obama coronation, much too soon. Schiff is a very good example of both their increased aggression driven by panic and how awkward they are in handling this role. So close just a handful of years ago and now it all seems to be unraveling at the seams. They are angry, they are nervous and… Read more »
The biggest thing the 2nd Amendment guys did right is that they never allowed 2nd Amendment advocacy to become toxic. There really isn’t the kind of stigma around 2nd Amendment advocacy that exists around immigration or OK to be white and other things we are interested in. It’s not really that we aren’t good advocates, it’s that what are advocating is worse then cannibalism to the general population. If we ever got into a public spat with either cannibals or pedophiles, even normal conservatives would back the pedos and cannibals over us. Just before transmania broke out, there was a… Read more »
Talk to any criminal or drug addict or other people who do really dumb things and they will near universally say they have no idea why they did what they did. The only explanation is that they did what they wanted to do because they wanted to do it and they did not reason themselves into doing it or if they did, only tangentially ie.. I needed money and that is why I did the home invasion on the elderly couple.
Sorry to hog your forum, Z – but I need to comment on (and ask questions) about your Virginia/gun segment. I am of the exact same mind as you on that – I think that the gunnies could be a huge addition to your DR team and I believe I said so in your last post about it. Almost all of those guys are well over half way to our side. Almost all of them know that blacks are overwhelmingly responsible for violent gun crime, but are afraid to say so or notice. They are easy pickings for you. But… Read more »
I think that we simply need to view it as coalitions. I was a bit harsh on the gunnies the other day, but they could be a great ally. They want to protect the 2A. We want to protect the 2A. I’m sure most of them are for keeping what little Free Association we still have, as are we. But we can’t forget what we really want – a white community. However, that scares most whites so it’s best to keep it under wraps though never forgotten. When I speak with color-blind CivNats – and a big chunk of 2A… Read more »
2A people want personal agency (control over their own lives). So does our community. It’s a natural fit, once everyone understands what personal agency is and means.
The CivNats want personal agency too, but they are cowed out of speaking up for it, and figure that voting for the right person is enough.
Yeah, but their patriotism for a lost America blinds them. These are good guys, very loyal. Unfortunately, that loyalty is being used against them. They’ve drank the Kool Aid and believe that America’s great traditions and law can turn anyone into, well, them.
But these guys aren’t idiots. As the anti-white rhetoric and policies get pushed, the 2A guys will start to wake up. And if they know us, they’ll quickly come to our side.
Citizen – pardon me… I am a Yesterday Man and a little slow. Can you clarify for me: what exactly is a “Civ Nat”?
Civic Nationalist
A CivNat is someone who believes in the Magic Dirt theory, i.e. that our traditions and laws will turn anyone in the world into a white guy. As such, a CivNat gives their allegiance to our civic traditions rather than to his race or ethnicity, conveniently forgetting that our civic traditions grow from our biology.
Civic Nationalist
Well said Citizen…I was there and made my way over to our thing so I know it can be done…
Here’s my public pitch to Joe Normie. Anything in parentheses is not for public ears. “Look, whether we like it or not – personally, I don’t but you may disagree (this lets those on our side know that I might be on our side as well, but don’t say this in too large a group) – the country is moving toward being multi-racial. Your kids will be a minority when they reach our age. (This always freaks people out and wakes them up.) Whites will be just another racial group. Now, I don’t like to think in racial terms (white… Read more »
Could the dissidents police the usurpers and hijackers in that situation? I would say if the gunnies can’t police their own why do you think they would let the DR do it for them…Most gunnies that I have come across are hardcore civnats and would fight the DRs harder than they would fight the Commies…Their biggest fear is being called a racist and the left could show on the field of battle with nothing more than that word and they would clear the field and win the day…They fawn over the black man and you could see evidence of that… Read more »
That’s why I see it as a coalition. They aren’t members of the DR, but we could work together on the one issue. But I agree, the vast majority are colorblind, ‘merica’s the greatest CivNats to the core. And since they’ve fully swallowed the propaganda, they believe that what makes the United States so great is immigration and diversity. Therefore, they can’t be trusted outside of 2A issues. However, I do believe that as the anti-white rhetoric and policies gets worse, many more whites will start to find their way to our side. And my guess is that 2A guys… Read more »
Sounds rigth to me. Woo the 2A guys and let events persuade them that CivNat is a dead end.
I call them “situational affinities”. Allies on particular issues at particular times. Not the same as blending the communities, however.
I personally think you are behind the curve on that one Lineman. I used to be in that boat myself – and I made the transition long ago. There is a lot of Bad Think going on with the gunnies and it’s picking up steam. The coalition idea appeals to me – because I personally really like the idea of Our Guys remaining in positions where they remain our guys and not say, cucked gunnies.
Well JS the rally was less than a week ago so just going with what was going on there and talking to those I shoot with that aren’t DR guys…I agree with Citizen though on a coalition with them…
My take is that well more than half of the 2A types are not resistant to race realism regarding “POCs”. Especially because many are working guys who deal with the average POC. (The wealthier/credentialed progs often deal only with the “smart fraction” — for values of “smart” — and have a skewed view of things due to non-representative sampling.) The issue many 2A types seem to have is not the “BQ” but the JQ. Lineman and I both frequent a few places where commenters who sound like decent, mostly sensible folk will NOT visit the Z-blog because of “all the… Read more »

Peaking at #27 in the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975, “Saturday Night Special” featured on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s first Top 10 album “Nuthin’ Fancy”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vF66CsYEnc My understanding of the term “Saturday Night Special” in relation to describing a cheap handgun, comes from something I read from Gary North a number of years back. He said first the term “N-word Saturday night” was used to describe what typically happened on Saturday nights in the dark side of town. Since blacks typically didn’t have much money – cheap handguns were perceived as being designed specifically to be sold to blacks. So a small… Read more »
Florida is important to understanding the modern history of race in America, especially Broward where this Dixie nonsense is going on, though not in the way the DNYUZ article claims. There used to be a solid black middle class in Florida, and blacks had political and economic power there well before anywhere else (island blacks didn’t have the same history as southern blacks). Two things happened to destroy black people in Florida: The first was desegregation, which first robbed the black businesses of their “captive market,” and all-black patronage and secondly broke their communities through bussing and the phony blight… Read more »
Black-White truce? During the Viet Nam War black and white soldiers fought and died side-by-side. They became the so-called “band of brothers.” After these soldiers returned home to civilian life, in almost every case the black vets refused to associate with their white “brothers.” They turned their backs on fellow white warriors. Blacks are ostracized as Uncle Toms if they freely associate with white men.
There will never, ever be a “black-white truce.”
I didn’t say or suggest there would be. I said normies and Jared Taylor types still occasionally bring this up. And whites and blacks were not so friendly with each other in Vietnam, or in World War II for that matter (it was covered up, but plenty of black soldiers mutinied).

Carthago delenda est. They could never win by force so they honed their abstract art of subversion. Read the Decline and Fall by Gibbon. It’s a long read but you’ll have so many epiphanies, you’ll likely vomit repeatedly in disgust. If you don’t have that much patience, Cesar and Christ by Will Durant and Against Apion by our friend Flavius Josephus should suffice. A brief synopsis: they took down Egypt and Rome with their tried and true methods of treachery. I’ll let the Egyptian historian Manetho tell the story of the invasion by Nomadic shepherds know as the (((Hyksos))) “There… Read more »
I forgot to mention and reinforce the point for anyone still in denial.
“At length they made one of themselves king, whose name was Salatis; he also lived at Memphis, and made both the upper and lower regions pay tribute.”
Sal-Atis = Sal & Attis. The Hyksos outsider king of Egypt. Look up Attis on Wiki “Attis went mad and cut off his genitals” Attis Sun god/worship halo? Yeah it’s all there. Her image should look very familiar. Our statue of liberty overlooking NY harbor. Yeah, actually it’s their castrated transgender god Attis.
Why stop there. Every wonder about the abstinence from pork? Their emasculated god Attis was supposedly killed while out on a hunt by the tusk of a wild boar. After witch they abstained from all consumption of the detested animal. Remind anyone of game of thrones? Robert Baratheon, the king killed on a hunt for boar – Bara-theon basically meaning emasculated-god. You can’t make this shit up. Theon Greyjoy – meaning god that does not sow but reaps. I’m sure it’s just coincidental that he had his dick chopped off. Then there’s Lord Baelish the two faced priest of Baal… Read more »

Want to get rid of Dixie highway? Going to love demanding all MLK drives removed when the FBI opens their archives in 2027.
Not sure what will be revealed with MLK archives opened, but if they don’t reveal outright traitorous dealings, say with foreign nations, but rather indicate a man of “prodigious appetites”, I’d say nothing will come of it.
It’s been 50 years since the man died. Two (more) generations of morale decline under our belt. What could possibly be revealed that is now considered disqualifying for a public figure in the America of 2020, much less 2027.
I think the rapey behavior King allegedly engaged in will take the shine off of Saint Mike. Whether or not the files are released is a big IF.
Abernathy already let some of the cat out of the bag and nobody cares.

What makes you think the records will be released? The JFK stuff still hasn’t all been released.
If I recall, wasn’t the JFK release pushed once more into the future?

Learned something today. Now the reason for there being a “Dixie Highway” in the upper Midwestern state of my birth (said road being near my heimat [1] as it happens) is revealed. Always vaguely wondered, but never enough to look it up. As to “Dixie” itself, I go about Boston with a Stars-and-Bars (NOT the Battle Flag) morale patch on my shoulder bag, partly to see what happens. (So far, not much; I honestly think that none of the usual troublemakers even recognizes it.)

Or the last names of the sexual predators and their trials or their questionable deaths in jail being paraded on national television?

Remember that people strut their stuff to show off to their peer group, not the public in general. IMO the tribe falls deeper into that pattern than most, as the tribe has such importance to many of its members.
There is an infamous photo of Treasury Secretary Mnuchin holding a sheet of dollar bills, with his signature on them, while standing next to his blonde wife. He is smiling not for us, but for his tribal members, “living the life, baby”.
That’s great for strutting your stuff but if strutting your stuff includes undermining the constitution of a majority Gentile state?
Not so sure that flashing of power as Schiff, Nadler, and Schumer are doing won’t be very detrimental to the tribe?
Maybe not.
Maybe the ones who notice are few and far between and have no power.
Those people are definitely not thinking big picture optics, are they? That’s what happens when they live in the DC bubble…
I think it also goes back to the widespread criminality referenced above (Ukraine $7 billion), and these guys are scrambling for cover. Optics may not be front of mind for them right now…
Oh at this point I don’t think they care about the optics because they think they are untouchable at this point which is why their mask have dropped so far…My hope is though their real faces scare the shit out of Normie and he finally gets off his couch turns off sportsball and starts looking at why this is happening and what can I do to stop it…

I finally got to listen to today’s podcast, and figured I’d add my thoughts on impeachment… Calls for impeachment, of course, have been constant since before Trump was elected, literally, so they were always looking for a reason. Those in the know had to know well in advance that the Russia/Mueller/Weissman operation was a failure, so they would have been looking for the next option long before that final report was released. The Ukraine thing lit every light: There are reports that as much as $7 billion in US aid has gone missing there, and Biden wasn’t the only one… Read more »

Regarding the “Best Korea’ broadcasting propaganda from loud speakers I consider the ubiquity of CNN blaring from large screen tv’s in all kinds of public spaces to be the same thing done for the same purpose. Airports seem especially bad but I’ve noticed it more and more in other public spaces as well. It’s offensive and repugnant both in the content itself and what it says about how far we have descended down the path from a republic of citizens to an empire of subjects.
I went to Atlanta a few months back for business and stayed at the Omni Hotel attached to the CNN Center. It rained most of the nights we were there, so my coworkers and I walked from the hotel to the CNN Center food court for dinner so that we didn’t have to go outside in the weather. Obviously they had the CNN feed blaring in the food court. I had quit watching all of the national cable networks for the most part several years ago and it was jarring how crazy the CNN talking heads were. Trump had driven… Read more »
In the hotel last weekend there was a huge flat screen TV in the breakfast area, right on top of everyone there, with MSNBC going on. No one paid it a lick of attention, as if it was not even in the room. A small, hopeful sign.
It’s hard not to come to the conclusion that Russia has become a more sane nation than the US.

It is absolutely repugnant that we have Israeli citizens (or ANY foreign citizens) as dog catchers let alone Congressmen. We need to have a change to the Constitution in this regard barring all dual citizens from holding ANY government job whether elected or not. Foreigners need not apply. VD added we should ban anyone who is eligible for foreign citizenship from working for the government in any capacity. I wholeheartedly concur.
This once was the case, what happened? When I went to get my first passport (60’s) as a young person, I had to swear under oath that I possessed no dual citizenship, nor any “foreign” allegiances.
What happened? The world went gradually but positively insane, that’s what happened.
Only in 1967 did the Supreme Court rule that a US citizen could not be deprived of citizenship involuntary. Not surprisingly, it involved one of The Usual Suspects.

In my book, you’re either an American or your not.
Here’s a question to mull over.
How long would Israel last if it was subject to the same US sanctions as Iran has had imposed for the past five years?
Three months? Six?
Lemme adjust my tinfoil beanie here…. Does Iran have a “Samson Option”? What does author Rod Rosenbaum have to say about it? Israel has been building nuclear weapons for 30 years. The Jews understand what passive and powerless acceptance of doom has meant for them in the past, and they have ensured against it. Masada was not an example to follow—it hurt the Romans not a whit, but Samson in Gaza? What would serve the Jew-hating world better in repayment for thousands of years of massacres but a Nuclear Winter. […] The ultimate justice? Are sanctions against Our Greatest Ally… Read more »
Re: “assault weapon”. If you look online one of the first hits you’re going to find is the Wiki page – which falls back on the “drawing from federal and state law definitions” excuse – to call an assault weapon “primarily to semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns that are able to accept detachable magazines and possess one or more other features” The problem with this is – it’s pretty much in direct contradiction to the military definition of what an “assault weapon” is, which I’ve seen explained as a FULL automatic weapon in a smaller caliber – that is used… Read more »
You got it exactly right; assault weapon = fully automatic, powered down rifle, so you can control it on full auto and carry more rounds. It basically falls between the submachine gun or machine pistol and the fully automatic rifle/light machine gun, eg BAR, in power and turned out to be the right balance of range, fire rate and power for most infantry situations.
Of course, this also means that civilian ARs are NOT assault weapons, just semi-automatic rifles and, as rifles go, not particularly powerful either.
If I could ever learn to pronounce “myötähäpeä” correctly, it would be a great companion work to “schadenfreude.” The former makes you feel embarrassment, while the latter provides a feeling of pleasure. Neither word works for me in this case, however, since the thought that comes to mind when I hear Schiff, Nadler, & Co., drone on is, “You’ve got to be f**king kidding me. Do you really think I can’t see through your bulls**t?” Sadly, as others have noted, masses of Americans are lapping this stuff up.

Aldous Huxley’s “Soma” comes to mind…
I’ve always thought that our current predicament was more like Brave New World than 1984, but it has dawned on me that it’s much more complicated.
The globalists did not use Brave New World or 1984 as a manual, they raided ALL the dystopian novels for ideas: 1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World, Farenheit 451, Planet of the Apes, A Clockwork Orange, Lord of the Flies…
Yessir, our wonderful multicultural world has it all! Now we’re just awaiting the invasion from Mars.
I would say two of the features of our ruling class not predicted in any of these stories are: 1) Misdirection — This Impeachment melodrama is a classic example. It is being promoted as the MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER, but in reality it is what Trump is being forced to do while the masses are distracted that is important. 2) Distribution of Power — The classic example of this is how censorship has been turned over to corporations (social media, ISP, payment processing, etc., companies). This seems like an adaptation rather than a well thought out plan, but either way… Read more »
Misdirection
Straight out of 1984: Trump is Emmanuel Goldstein, we’ve always been at war with Eastasia, production of razorblades has gone up etc.
Number 2 is a good point. I figure Philip K. Dick merits an honourable mention for Ubik and, with the opiod epidemic in mind, A Scanner Darkly.
Yeah, you might be right. I think of Goldstein as primarily the signal for where your anger, hate and disappointment should go, but that also implies covering up the sins of the state. But I’m not sure that implies creating distractions for other government actions. I’d have to reread the book with that in mind…
And then there is the “coronavirus” thing, just as this impeachment fiasco hits the wall. My tinfoil hat, tightly fitted, suggests the impeachment misdirection is now being, in turn, misdirected.
Your tinfoil hat might get a kick out of this: https://tinyurl.com/tp78csy
Well Felix I guess we are going to have to become Martians then…😉
Another dystopian work that the globalists plundered is the short story by Evelyn Waugh called “Love Among The Ruins”. A key part of the story involves the protagonist (while trying to get approved for state-sanctioned suicide) falling in love with a transgender bureaucrat.
I’m so confused, this will never be the same for me.

Well, if a Martian invasion takes the form of the plot from the movie “Mars Attacks”, I’m all for it. Remember, in MA, the Martians got rid of two thirds of the US government. Sweet… 😉
Oops.
Or this. Love Among the Ruins by Browning.

Back when I was an avid listener of Opie and Anthony, they had a phrase for it: “douche-chills”. Or, if it was a comedian telling unfunny jokes – “bombing”.

In the few seconds of Nadler and Schiff I’ve watched, my mind starts inserting the sounds effects of car crashes, Kelsey Grammer falling down stairs, etc., every time they think they made a dramatic point.
myötähäpeä.=second hand embarrassment.

The Media are have been slobbering all over Schiff comparing his “speeches” to the Gettysburg Address. We live in a very, very mentally ill country.
The locals out here were so upset with Harry Reid that the NRA did a one off and did not endorse him for his last term- 2010. He won as they litterally bused Hablas to the polls in Vegas.
What’s missing from the discussion about the success of the 2A crowd in creating a big tent are suggestions about what issue the DR can use to get the normies, civ-nats, and the more sane progressives to lend their ear. The second amendment, Brexit, and Christian baptism are broad, fairly black and white issues. There are strong, relatively uncontroversial arguments for signing on to all three. What’s the issue around which we’ll coalesce? Which one is vanilla-enough to draw in the skittish, but which contains doorways to a more dissident outlook? I imagine it will have to orbit around the… Read more »
IMO it is that when they notice that everyone tribes up but us, everyone has organizations that push their agenda but us, everyone blames us for what is wrong in the world, and then one of us points out to them, probably one-on-one, perhaps on-line rather than face-to-face, that we are just like them, with the same questions and concerns, but that we see a thing that they don’t, that the answer is right in front of us. The answer is attitude, understanding, and a kind of enlightenment. This stuff is only shared with people who “get it”, but “getting… Read more »
I was really lucky in the privacy area. I got burned early on by FB. I ran into someone I went to HS with and we exchanged emails and I accepted him as a friend on FB. My nieces and nephews were also my friends and so my “friends'” posts started showing up their FB pages and of course, it was pictures of them smoking pot and other stupid things. I deleted the account which didn’t have any pics anyway. Before FB, I was really paranoid about that sort of thing and then that early FB thing reinforced my paranoia.… Read more »
Really good show, I agree that we need to learn to organize and to learn to ‘get the message out’, also if that means overlooking a few minor things we might not agree with. I was personally put a bit off by all the attention the AR toting black guys got. That said I actually think blacks have a right to be in the US, I think they are part of ‘historical America’. They shouldn’t be in charge, for obvious reasons but they’ve been there (Im currently in Europe) since forever. Learning organizing from the NRA is a good idea.… Read more »
Whoever were citizens of the US pre-1965 and their descendants are who should be here. Keep it simple. Even if immigration crept up a bit, having the country hovering north of 80% white is good enough for me. That said, we aren’t going back to 1965 demographics. So to build on what Z said, we need to think of ourselves as a white bloc not an ethno-state. We can be a large interest group or a political party, or both. Like Sinn Fein was for the Irish Catholics. (But less sketchy and Marxist, obvs.) Leftists have power & influence because… Read more »
Yeah that makes sense. 1965 was when demographics was weaponized in politics. It may be the most momentous year in US history and certainly since the civil war.
I also think a hostile takeover of the GOP is a good idea, if possible. Trump is basically half-way there, both on positions and in actually taking over the GOP. Maybe us demographically awares should work w Trump style civnats. Eventually a lot of them will join us anyway. Im one example of that so Im not exactly holier than thou.
I’d do the two months in jail before paying 2 grand to pro-invasion “charities”.
Regarding the liberal parents who use their kids to front their own virtue signaling – remember ten, twelve years ago when anything funny would cause someone to post in a comment section “I literally just snorted [insert beverage, if not coffee, here] out of my nose!!”? It was this kind of mass-meme everyone knew, nobody actually did themselves, and pretended it happened to everyone else. I think something similar is happening here.
Here’s a piece that interest folks hereabout:
” Who killed Cable?
The answer is the Blacks and the Jews.
And the White guy who provided a much cheaper better, add-free alternative.

Z—Great analysis. Will listen to your podcast later. I’m deeply burned out watching the crazy bug eyed lunatic and other crazy drunk stroked-out ruling overlords. Every time I ruefully wish all the senile old ruling farts to be lifted off the planet, I shudder knowing the AOCs and young Commie Socialists will take over. Trapped. So for diversion, Sh#ts and Grins, this ought to be a fun movie reminding us to saddle up and not be crying in our beer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYK4LoJ_ENk The Avenging Angel. Yes….Brigham Young’s avenging angels. They had stones, often nutty, sometimes dangerous, but stones none the less.… Read more »
That wagontrain out of Arkansas found out to their detriment that Mormons can go full murder-crazy with a vengeful memory.
You’ve placed doubt in my mind where or not LDS would come down on the Our side of things or the globo-ruling class.
I’ll admit near complete ignorance on the subject.
FYI to the WokeScold World: there exists in southern Utah a Dixie State University. It’s located in the city of St. George which is 90% Mormon. You can get two birds with one stone! Apologies for the specieist and male violence metaphor.
Gay activism might also be worth of study(from afar, that is). Gays concentrated themselves in the major cities, took over through a political block, got gay friendly judges in. Now we are “free” to serve on the USS Harvey Milk.
I also think that Rep. Schiff believes every word he says. His career took off with this “From 1987 to 1993, he was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Office of the United States Attorney for the Central District of California.[6] While in this position, Schiff came to public attention when he prosecuted the case against Richard Miller, a former FBI agent who was convicted of spying for the Soviet Union.[7] The first trial resulted in a hung jury; the second trial resulted in a conviction that was overturned on appeal.[8] Miller was convicted in a third trial.[9]” This… Read more »
myötähäpeä
That’s a new one on me. Usually just use the old standby “hullu” 🙂
But “myötähäpeä” pretty accurately describes the farce going on with the Senate at the moment.
PCR gives his speculations on the reasons for impeachment in his article today.
