When Americans think of government corruption, it is government officials getting the public’s money confused with their own money. Maybe a politician takes bribes to do the bidding of someone with interests before the government. It can also be a civil servant taking bribes to do someone a favor. Alternatively, it can be the government insiders colluding with outside players so that the insiders make money from a government contract or a government program.
While those are examples of corruption, the problem goes beyond people in government stealing from the public. In the general sense, corruption is an indifference to the rules that supposedly govern society. The corrupt do not see the rules as limits on their behavior, but as obstacles to overcome in pursuit of their goals. They have no respect for or allegiance to the spirit of the law. More important, they have no respect for the morality that lies behind the law.
This contempt for the spirit of the law is on display in the ongoing trial of Clinton lawyer Michael Sussman. He is charged with lying to the FBI about his relationship with the Clinton campaign. He brought the phony Russian collusion hoax material to the FBI claiming he got it as part of his work on cyber security. According to the FBI, he said he was not representing anyone with regards to the issue. In truth he was working for the Clinton campaign on exactly this issue.
Charging someone with lying to the government is usually a way to leverage a lawyer or public official into cooperation. The charge itself is relatively minor, but it has serious career consequences, so it is a good tool to use on a lawyer. In this case, it appears the prosecutor is using it as a way to build a larger narrative to explain how the biggest hoax in American history was perpetrated on the public. This trial provides the general plot structure for the rest of the story that will come later.
That plot structure is this. Sussman was running a group of dirty tricks people for the Clinton campaign back in 2016. Using a lawyer for this provides them with some confidentiality in the event things go wrong. Sussman hired a group called Fusion GPS and some other freelance operators to manufacture dirt on Trump. They would then feed this to reporters on their payroll. Franklin Foer is someone they used to put these fake stories into the mainstream media.
The way this fraud worked is Sussman went to the FBI with fake documents alleging a secret channel between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign. As a partner in a connected Washington law firm, he gets priority access to senior officials in the FBI and the Department of Justice. Meanwhile, others are planting the story with their people in the media with the claim the FBI is already looking into it. The media hacks then call the FBI for comment and add that to the story.
There is nothing new here. Political actors have been using friends in the media since the dawn of the printing press. The reason we have the Sally Hemmings fable is that opponents of Jefferson slandered him in the media of the time with the claim that he was having sex with his slaves. In this age, when all of the mass media is in the pocket of the uniparty, the fake news is mostly about promoting the aims of the party and distracting people from that which is bad for the party.
An interesting wrinkle in this case is that Sussman got the fake documentation for the Trump-Russia link from one of the goons on his dirty tricks squad. That trickster was a person named Rodney Joffe, who was some sort of IT consultant. He was the guy who allegedly created the fake documentation. He was also an FBI informant, according to the various filings in the case. This raises an obvious question about who actually concocted the Russian collusion hoax.
That may be the point of this trial and the long running Durham investigation, which promises to continue for many years. By pinning the scandal on Sussman, they can also pin the scandal on Hillary Clinton. That serves the interests of the uniparty by making sure she does not run again on 2024. More important, it paints the FBI as the innocent party, hoodwinked by those dastardly Clinton people. Sussman has been paid to take the fall, which is why he is not cooperating.
That may seem a bit Machiavellian, until you remember that the senior staff of the FBI were engaged in wholesale spying on the Trump campaign. There is no question that two dozen or so characters involved in the Spygate scandal defrauded the courts and violated their oath of office. One guy was charged in that for doctoring an e-mail that was used to defraud the court. Otherwise, the rest have sailed off into lives of comfort, having done their part for the cause.
Then you have the Mueller investigation. This was engineered by people in the Department of Justice and the FBI who knew at the time that the claims about Russian collusion were manufactured by the Clinton campaign. That is something else that has come out in the Sussman trial. The FBI knew the documents provided were fake and they knew the source of them. Since the source was a confidential FBI informant, it is possible that the real source was the FBI all along.
All of this sounds like the grubby political intrigue that has distinguished the Clinton era of politics, but it also highlights the depravity of the political system. Across the upper reaches of the political system is a deep contempt for the rules. The claims made about Nixon fifty years ago have now become the culture of Washington. The charge against Nixon was that he corrupted the institutions for personal gain. Today the institutions corrupt anyone unfortunate enough to have contact with them.
Corruption has consequences. Once a ruling class stops respecting its own rules, the rest of society soon follows. For example, it was the Russophobia created by the Clinton dirty tricks campaign that opened the door for the neocons. Five years of demonizing Putin and Russia to attack Trump made it easy for the usual reptiles to launch this pointless war against Russia. Every time you buy gas or food, you can thank Hillary Clinton for the sticker shock.
Another example to consider is the media. One of the things revealed in the trial thus far is the degree of collusion between members of the elite press and the people running the dirty tricks campaign. Fusion GPS was founded by journalists. None of the “reporters” who participated in this hoax have been punished. Many of them have been given awards for their “reporting” on the story. The media is every bit as mobbed up as the people on the political class.
One final note on the Sussman trial. The judge in the case is connected to the FBI gangsters exposed during Spygate. He also used to pal around with Sussman when they were learning how to be crooks together. The jury has several Clinton donors, to make sure the jury remains impartial. For those old enough to remember, the trial now has this level of objectivity and probity. Anyone thinking Sussman gets convicted should calibrate their expectations accordingly.
The lack of public interest in this case is due, in part, to the media organs of the party being told to ignore it. The bigger reason is that the staggering level of corruption in the ruling class has been normalized. People are no longer shocked or offended by the lying from Washington. It is the rare times when someone speaks honestly that grabs the attention of the public. The Sussman trial confirms the obvious. America is a kleptocracy run by a thoroughly corrupt ruling elite.

What kind of jail? Bill and Hillary being married to each other has been its own special kind of hell. She has been reported for years as being an alcoholic and Bill was a slave to Jeffery Epstein. On the other hand neither one of them drove an Olds 88 off Dike Bridge and had to swim for it.
I think the most general and widely-applicable definition of corruption – whether a person, or an institution – is related to motivation rather than methods. Corruption is when a person or institution is motivated by something other-than their proper function. So a scientist is corrupt when he is motivated by salary and career status, instead of the truth. A lawyer is corrupt when motivated by wealth rather than justice. A national politician is corrupt when motivated by globalism rather than the best interests of his country. An artist if he pursues fame instead of beauty. An economist if he argues… Read more »
Several good observations there. The only criticism I offer that I think you over-simplify people’s motives. We are complex creatures and very rarely, if ever, will a sole drive (instinct, motivation, call it as you like) be operating at a single time. Why can’t the average attorney be motivated by both greed and the desire to service justice, which more realistically he might qualify as “providing the best legal representation I can to my client”? It’s even more likely he has additional instincts active, perhaps as mundane as the desire to get home and eat dinner with his family after… Read more »
The problem isn’t just that government is corrupt. It’s that there’s more of it than ever. As a percentage of the economy, this is a deeply socialist country, especially by historical standards. If we actually pid for all of it, taxation would be well into European levels and even more, and will be in the not too distant future when the bond market fails. . The government of the late 19th Century was arguably much more corrupt, but it was a tiny fraction of the economy. One could live day to day, and not even think about it. Today, even… Read more »
JR Wirth: Well said. Shanequa is an easy and loathsome target, but as you note she knows where the gibs come from and makes no pretenses about it (and believe she deserves it all). The diabetic Medicare recipient will puff out his obese chest and proclaim about ‘his’ social security and ‘his’ disability. It seems every other comment on YT prep channels is from someone who is ‘elderly’ and/or ‘disabled.’ And they all get social security and food stamps and are spending those funds on preparing for their cats, while complaining about a shortage of portable oxygen tanks.
Yes! Don’t get me started on SSDI. When did every a hole on earth get a “back injury?” Maybe lose some tonnage. Maybe work on your core. Is there a vet who isn’t “disabled” these days? Clearly a lot of them slipped in the Green Zone cafeteria while in line at Pizza Hut. Hypocrites.

Great comment, 3g4me. And none of us is truly innocent. For example: sure, the greedy megalomaniacs who run our corporations were very happy to ship all our manufacturing out to China and save oodles in salaries; but we were more than happy to buy cheap Chinese crap too.
Welp, American history has been one big Christian revival, which in turn, was probably an attempt to regain what was lost after breaking from Rome. At this point we’ve been too far estranged and it seems to have ended where they all end, Babylon.
Just my morning musings.
I’m no Biblical prophecy scholar (nor have I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express lately), but Rev 17 refers to the great whore of Babylon described in v. 4 thus: : “the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication”. I always heard this would be some revival of ancient Rome, or Babylon – but not much of a stretch of the imagination to envision some LGB…trans…non binary…zher sitting proudly on the throne at 1600 Pa.… Read more »
Hey, did you have to bring my wife into the conversation?
Um, Z, the Sally Hemmings story is no “fable.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson%E2%80%93Hemings_controversy
This isn’t really Earth shattering. It’s a historical fact that many Whites, including slave owners, had sexual intercourse with their Negroes. This largely explains why Afro-Americans have approximately 20-25% White genes.
Reminds me of Billy Bob Thortons’s character’s father’s line from Monsters Ball.
On any controversial issue, Wikipedia will reliably parrot the leftist agenda. Also, academia is a wholly owned outpost of the left, so you won’t get much pushback on the Hemmings matter in any mainstream history publication.
However, Ann Coulter has pointed out a few times, the case is much weaker than the mainstream left wants it to be:

You should know better than to believe the manufactured history promoted by the MSM, court historians, professional liars, or blacks.
“or blacks” for some reason that struck me as Mel Brooks like 🙂
Well, I guess if Mel Brooks coined “We bez Egyptians”, “We waz Kangz”, Black Inventions Myths, CRT, “systemic racism”, or never ending victimhood, it would be. Not that blacks coined them, either. They just repeat them ad nauseam to try and explain away 10,000 years of failure.
The way I heard it, the only thing that can definitely be said is that her children were fathered by a Jefferson man. Maybe Thomas, maybe not. Heard that a few years ago, but all the same.
Yes, his brother was apparently infamous for his escapades with slaves. So, the genetic tracers could just as well be from him. That being said, I have heard it maintained that Sally Hemmings was herself a by-blow of intercourse between a slave and a male from Mrs. Jefferson’s family, and thus was clearly related to her. Hemmings may have come to the household of Thomas J. through his marriage, and after the death of his wife – apparently a devastating blow to him – the resemblance to his dear wife may have led him to console himself in some measure… Read more »
Yep. Iirc Sally Hemmings was Martha’s half sister, whom she and Thomas inherited from her father. Talk about complicated!
Or Hemings I guess. Whatever her name was!
Would that make her a quadroon?
Or an octoroon?
Wikipedia itself has stated that it is “not a reliable source of information.”
Wikipedia?
Really now.
The fact that many slave owners had sex with slaves does not mean JD did.
Opps.
Sorry.
TJ, not JD. I meant Thomas Jefferson, but Jefferson Davis popped out.
Wow! I hit a nerve there. OK, I actually read a bit deeper in the lengthy Wiki. Yes, I’m aware of its leftist bias. But that doesn’t mean everything they publish is a lie. Allow me to amend my previous statement as follows: It is not conclusively proven that Thomas Jefferson fathered children by Sally Hemmings, but it certainly is possible, perhaps even probable. Opinion: Is it really such a horrible scandal, a big deal two centuries later, that a wealthy Virginia planter who was one of our greatest Presidents fucked some of his Negresses? I’d say not.

Recall who the Bible portrays as the patriarch of The Tribe: Jacob. The swindler. The supplanter. The effeminate houseboy who stayed in the tent with his momma and learned to cook while his father Isaac’s favorite, Esau was out hunting.

This entire essay is a black pill. I have no problem with black pills. They serve to enforce the separation between reality and “the narrative”. But, the truth is: 1. If anyone gets convicted, it will be a pawn like Sussman. No one in the Clinton Family or the FBI. 2. If anyone gets convicted, it will be a slap on the wrist and they will have easy money income for the rest of their life. 3. This “scandal” will only be remembered by a handful of individuals and some honest journalists and historians, if there is such a thing… Read more »
It seems to me the purpose of the trial is a manufactured acquittal, so they can claim exoneration from all the corruption, removing the taint from the FBI/Clinton dirty actors, and placing it back on Trump and half the country.
DLS, you are spot on, and spot on today’s point. If only I could think like that.
DLS: Excellent point and description – manufactured acquittal.
If only we had “the Posterity is our greatest strength!”
The best that can be hoped for is that it gives a final dent to any hope that b*tch Clinton has of being Potus. As Z points out, it’s her “own” side who is using this to stitch her up because they hate her too. We must take our consolations where we can as the West sinks into oblivion, and knowing that a power-crazed psychopath like HRC will be denied her lifetime goal counts as such.
All true, and yes, MSM will not touch this story with a 10″ pole. So what to do? Most normal people simply get more cynical, tune out government and media as much as they are able, and go on with their lives while harboring a repressed guilty conscience about not being able to do anything about it. The DoGooders in society squawk like canaries-in-the-coal-mine hoping to educate/persuade enough voters into electing better political leaders, but that is really just venting. Nothing changes. The Sussman Trial is about letting off steam (quelling civic anger), not punishing the guilty as a means… Read more »

As with Covid, I expect more than a few people to get amnesia regarding their position on Ukraine. That amnesia will be starting quite soon.
Years ago I’d welcome a volte-face such as this. Nowadays, it is just to be expected, and nothing good will come of it.
Anyway Z, where have you been? Don’t you understand that Monkey Pox has a four hundred billion percent mortality rate?

Yes. The incredibly dangerous behavior on display here is still unique, but it time we will become accustomed to such reckless, suicidal actions because they will increase. The one bright spot was the hilarious tableaux of Uncle Loyd and the MIC meeting with Raytheon, Boeing, and like mass murderers to discuss what they could produce for fun and profit. That wasn’t even hidden.
Way back in the before times, Bill Buckley would say that you know everything about a persons politics based on the opinion of Israel and abortion. Something similar has happened recently with Covid and Ukraine. Those initial reactions reveal much about people. In both cases, the willingness to accept mainstream narratives revealed many to be less skeptical and critical than they let on.
Looks like Kissinger weighed in. Told them to give up some land. Done.
” Something similar has happened recently with Covid and Ukraine.”
That’s a brilliant point. I’ve belabored the point too much, but I lost a very close friend when he drifted into hysterical, feminized Covidianism. No contact since, but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind he has a Zelensky shrine and is fully onboard the Russia Evil Train. This is a person who has brilliant analytical skills in his field but, good Lord, he’s a child otherwise.

You really are too kind in your use of adjectives. “Ignorant” at best, “stupid” at worse is my go to for describing such people. There is simply no excuse for being so wrong—except that of a weak intellect. Problem is, as always, they vote.
Covid behavior I forgave for about the first 6 months. Ukraine, after Covid fiasco is unforgivable.
Unfortunately Steve Sailer died from deadly acute long covid back in 2020.
His death, like millions of other innocent but racist grandmas, was the fault of all you stupid americans that wouldn’t look at enough graphs and get vaccinated.
Since then all his posts have been written by a chatbot programmed to compare golf courses and hypothesize coincidentally hebraic multi generational downtown real estate plays.
His storied career of repeatedly knowing one chapter of Charles Murray’s most famous book has come to a sad end.
Zelensky is a dead man walking. His Western pimps will put the bullet into him, too, although they will with some success pin it on Putin and manipulate pop culture and propaganda in such a way as to present Zelensky as the Second Coming.
He and his troupe already have British passports, so they will be fine, unless the Russians think otherwise. Zelensky may want to invest in an ice machine at his new pad.
The Ukrainian army is nearing collapse in the Donbas. Reports suggest a week or two more fighting. That will be a huge blow to the narrative. We could see a coup attempt in June.
Yeah, he should avoid ice picks.
As to the British passports, I think Epstein, Gaddafi, Diem, and Allende all had second passports, too.
Figured Ukraine was beginning to have a rough time when the Twitter news feed became suspiciously silent about that part of the world.
Today is an implicit acknowledgement in the news feed that Ukraine is getting rocked hard.

The shame is that the Ukrainian people strike me as rather nice and I don’t see much difference between them and the Russians. Their leadership are another story—about as criminal as ours.
Now the once improving lives of the people is set back to Communist era standards, or possibly WWII and the leadership who got them there will undoubtedly go free.
This is wrong.
Likely. But even if they take the Donbas and other parts of the east, the Russians will have to deal with a well-equipped, trained Ukrainian army in the west.
Russia had three big military goals: 1) liberate the Donbas and set up a land bridge to Crimea; 2) denazification and 3) a demilitarized, neutral Ukraine.
Looks like they will achieve 1 and 2, but lose bigly on 3.
The United States had a primary goal of divorcing Europe from Russia. That’s been accomplished, hence the tragic reports of the pending Ukrainian loss. The secondary goal of peddling weapons along with pocketing the MIC grift might keep things going a bit longer.
disagree. ukraine (what’s left of it) will need russia to keep poland from taking a big bite of territory, once the GAE bugs out. also, all the money and weapons from the west will dry up very quickly once the ukes lose.
Jack, In the short to medium term, the US looks like a big winner from this war and Europe the big loser. The Americans stopped the economic integration of Europe and Russia, and gets to sell Europe nat gas and weapons to boot. Europe is back to being firmly under the thumb of the Americans. Europe loses cheap energy from Russia, which will hurt their industry and living standards. Europe loses Russia as export market, at least for a time, which again will hurt GDP and living standards. The Europeans are now way more dependent on the US. They need… Read more »
Karl,
You might very well be right. It’s possible that the Russians secure the territory won and then just let the Ukrainian army slowly degrade. The big question is whether the US and Europe will continue to pour money into the Ukraine once things settle down.
I am not so sure there is well-equipped and trained army in the West. Getting a good estimate on the Ukrainian army is impossible, but everyone seems to agree that their best trained and equipped are now being obliterated in the Donbas. That leaves the forces in the south, which will be next on the list for the Russians. My guess on the next phase is that the Russians shift to taking Nikolaev and Odessa this summer. At the same time, they continue to take out the rails system, communications systems and energy system in the West. Reconstituting an army… Read more »
Z, You could be correct. It’s hard to know what’s happening with the Ukrainian military in the west. But we’re pouring money into that army. The $40 billion package plus whatever we’ve sent already is damn near the entire Russian military budget. If that can’t build a decent army, I’m not sure what can. But the Ukraine is an insanely corrupt place, so who knows what’s going to happen to all that money and equipment. In addition, the Americans would have to continue pouring money into Ukraine year after year. In my extremely unexpert opinion, I think that Nikolaev and… Read more »
I will not be surprised if a year from now, a rump Ukraine is led by a pro-Russian government, because the West simply abandoned the project. There is only one thing worse than being an enemy of Washington and that is being an ally.
Z: I will not be surprised if a year from now, a rump Ukraine is led by a pro-Russian government, because the West simply abandoned the project.
Is there another country available to the West that is as cooperative and ready made for money-laundering, human-trafficking, and bioweapon research as the Ukraine? Seems to me even a rump Ukraine would still be useful to Globohomo’s schemes.
Z,
I’m with the others on this one. US intelligence agencies will fight tooth and nail to keep a pro-US government in Ukraine. That country is perfect for money-laundering and poking the Russians.
But we’ll see. It’s not like our intelligence agencies are all powerful.
I don’t think they care what happens to the rump of Ukraine as long as they have their demilitarised, de-nazified buffer zone in the Donbass. And by the time it comes to rebuilding the Ukie military in the west of the country, their suppliers will be dealing with other far greater problems. Like how to stop themselves losing their head because they deliberately destroyed the supply, food and energy chains
> We could see a coup attempt in June.
I doubt the CIA would ever let the Ukrainians gain control of their own country.
“He and his troupe already have British passports”
There’s that “British” Empire again. The one that supposedly disappeared almost 80 years ago. Up to the old tricks!
We do the same—except they are called resident visa’s, which will turn into citizenship in 5 year. 10’s of thousands in Afghanistan alone.
Giving out passports?
Not exactly the sealed train to the Finland Station.
“Zelensky may want to invest in an ice machine at his new pad.”
If I had to make a guess, it would be that Putin is having some lovely handcrafted atoms being prepared for Zelensky, chock full of old-world artisanal organic neutrons and spicy fresh protons, the kind of gourmet atoms where you really feel the burn of those alpha particles after they’ve been injected into you.
It will be Poland taking over Western Ukraine to recapture some of the old Polish empire.
Ukraine has already given all Poles Ukranian nationality an the ability to run for office in Ukraine. As they only control the western half it seems obvious this is the plan in Europe.
Hungary’s state of emergency is a big pointer to prepare for this.
I think Hungary fears either a color revolution to get them on the same page as Germany, or outright NATO invasion to do the same thing. They voted out of someone else’s war, seeing the very real manpower limits on Russia makes them far less a threat to replay 1956, while getting involved in the war means poverty for a nation without much margin.
The EU has been trying to get rid of Orban and multiculturalize Hungary for over a decade.
Zelensky is irrelevant. Soros at Davos gave the order, “defeat Putin or end Western Civilization.” The Davos crowd wants the Apocalypse it seems, hence their funding of gain of function with bat viruses and worse, and the desire for global nuclear war (Soros also declared “war” on Xi/China so Biden’s “gaffe” on defending Taiwan was not much of one). They like Gates and Hillary all have bolt-holes in New Zealand and view us as existential threats to the planet justifying the Apocalypse. Nuclear or biological. Now Lloyd Austin has confirmed the State Dept tweet saying anti-Ship missiles to Ukraine are… Read more »
Add to that the famine scenario this coming fall, the same thing that led to the locust horde of the Arab Spring.
85 Ukrainian grain ships, feeding many poor, overburgeoned countries, can’t get out of port- because Ukraine itself has mined its own harbors.
Ive got a 1990 krug clos de mesnil set aside for that occasion.
Not sure how relevant he is, but Kissinger is calling for the Ukrainians to give up territory to end the war. The NYT said something similar last week.
Looks like some faction of Deep State wants this conflict to end. The question is which faction? Maybe the political side wants it to end to get food and energy costs down. Could be the military which is concerned about the war growing and the draining of their supplies to the Ukrainians? Could the intelligence agencies.
I have no idea, but something is going on.
This is just the cutting edge of the narrative shift. Just a guess, too, but the sanctions didn’t work out as intended (although, again, they may have but it doesn’t appear so on the surface).
https://gilbertdoctorow.com/
has some interesting on the ground reportage.
The sanctions worked out exactly as wanted. Americas suffer and “The Chosen” got richer.
I don’t discount that at all, Hoagie, but the dollar’s stability and security have taken quite a hit. Just like when Trudeau seized truckers’ deposit accounts and there was a run on the Canadian banks. foreign governments no longer view the dollar as necessarily safe. Regardless, the United States got what it wanted: a divorce between Russia and Europe, especially Germany.
Public interest is waning. In the first few weeks, it was really exciting to follow Ukraine. It could not have been scripted better: plucky rebels against an evil empire and an evil emperor. There were tank battles, fire fights, drone strikes, artillery barrages, weeping refugees, atrocities, and everything else that makes for quality entertainment. There was also the possibility of WWIII and nuclear annihilation, meaning everyone had skin in the game. I really have to hand it to the propaganda engineers of GAE. After a while, the war settled into a slow steady crawl with gains and losses by both… Read more »
Running out of narratives to keep the plebs on tenterhooks? Monkeypox has just entered the chat.
God appears to be celebrating Pride month.
The elites got what they wanted. They were able to hype the war to the point of generating billions and billions in “aid” to Ukraine. Cash, weapons for the black market, “medicine” — everything they want has either been delivered or authorized for delivery. Now they need to protect the Zelenskyyyyyy regime so they still have a functioning money-laundering operation to process all this loot and plunder.
Trouble is, the idiot lunatic ideologues in Sodom DC think that Taiwan is a great off-ramp from their abject Ukraine failure.
Biden’s comment about going all in on Taiwan was no mistake.
has anyone else seen that weird US Army psyops video?
https://www.newsobserver.com/news/state/north-carolina/article261463337.html
Why just be all that you can be when you be (cue creepy music) a ghost in the machine.
A power as large as the U.S. can only take so many military embarrassments before taking a reckless action in a desperate bid to keep face. Afghanistan and now Ukraine is putting D.C.s back to the wall, which is not good. The only question becomes how many millions are dead in the aftermath if they go Samson option to prove a point.
i bet the military takes the Pinochet option first 🙂
karl: Read this morning that 99 year old Henry Kissinger himself, at Davos, advised Zelensky to cede territory to Russia and prepare to reach a settlement.
bag man emeritus for the deep state. you just know the big boys have moved on now.
But, horrible human being that he is, K is also a realist.
I used to like PJM and American Thinker. However, they are still thinking inside the box: America is still exceptional and one more good election result should sort things out. They don’t realize that we are in completely unknown territory.
Thus we witness the ending act of the American Empire. The Beautiful Government People make no effort to hide their corruption, they hate the common people, and purposely make policy to make our lives hell. Nothing changes except more vile examples of this come out with each passing day. I figure there will be some event that will set into motion The Final Collapse. It will be either like the end of Soviet Imperial Communism, or there will be an orgy of violence in The Mother of All Purges. One thing for sure, the end of the Dollar as the… Read more »
” It will be either like the end of Soviet Imperial Communism, or there will be an orgy of violence in The Mother of All Purges. ”
Compare and contrast how the Soviets gracefully left Afghanistan with the United States’ frenzied, blood-drenched abandonment. That should give some clue as to how an end would go down.
America is armed to the teeth and the spring has been winding tighter for a long time now. Hell, even the high school wimp that got shoved into his locker by Biff the Bully, is now sporting an AR pistol with laser sights. This is the spoils of the videogaming epidemic. Don’t be in a city when the shooting starts. It will become a melee pit of random and errant bullet rain.
Eh. I was getting bored anyway. What do you want to say after this is over? “I was tucked away in a safe hamlet in north Alabama and barely noticed the nation spinning apart.” Or, “I melted the barrel on my 300 blackout and waded through the dozens of deceased orcs to seize the last available grape drink at 7-11; and that was just Day 3.”
I am going with all of the above, and likely even more reasons not contemplated to launch us into the Terminal Boogaloo.for the GAE. The Lithium Bomb of clusterfucks, heretofore only theoretical, yet soon to be demonstrated as a reality.
Managing to shut down the petrochemical industry in the West would probably do it.
The first petrochemical was discovered in 1835.
Are any of us prepared to live an 1835-era lifestyle?
my guess is widespread price controls and rationing, coupled with martial law in major cities.
karl: If the shortages are as severe as predicted, I agree. I’ve been predicting this fall/winter and next spring. Various YT channels are predicting a supply crisis in 10 weeks, which seems awfully early to me. Fwiw, still plenty of full shelves in the DFW area, and gas even dropped ten cents the past few days. How much of this depends on the Houston port, I don’t know. I do know other parts of the country are experiencing much more severe economic consequences.
that is my experience with my part of florida; no shortages of anything yet. store shelves pretty well stocked. i don’t have a need for baby formula so i can’t comment on that particular item. seems like it is complex manufactured items (including apparently furniture) that are in shortest supply, especially cars. i recently had my car serviced, and the dealership sent me a text a few days later offering to buy it! not because there is anything special about my car, this must be something they do for every service customer.
there are consequences to having such a corrupt government, and we are seeing them now. the rules are what give structure to a society, that allow efficient operation of the economy. it isn’t going to be too much longer before individual states are stronger than fedguv, and stop sending the latter “their cut”. multi-nationals will also go the way of the dinosaurs as they depend on fedguv for their existence (as well as cheap reliable transportation). in general, large countries will be dis-associating all over the world, as the expertise to keep together is lost. the only thing you can… Read more »
Yep. I have to laugh at the idiots in Main Stream Conservatopia who still think we can turn this around if “we” win in November. As if sh*ts like Romney, McConnell, Graham and McCarthy care about the state of the nation. The only hope is secession. The only question is whether it will be mostly peaceful or very violent.
“America is a kleptocracy run by a thoroughly corrupt elite.” Exactly. Wake me when someone of significant note is perp walked to the nearest REAL prison…
Remember the heyday of Qanon when the prison at Gitmo was supposedly being expanded, including medical facilities, to accommodate a soon to arrive influx of elderly Deep State inmates. It was a nice fantasy while it lasted.
Remember when HRC was arrested? The Q tards are still out there, wasting more of their time and energy. Q was either a brilliant DS psyops or a couple of dweebs in a basement.
“Q was either a brilliant DS psyops or a couple of dweebs in a basement.”
Why not both?
You pretty much nailed it. The show trial primarily serves two purposes: 1. To exculpate the totally corrupted FBI/DOJ, although even Normie realizes at this point those outfits are worse and trashier than organized crime; and 2. To take out and tarnish Hillary Clinton and her family permanently. This has likely been done to placate the Regime’s Step-‘N-Fetchit in the person of Barack Obama. The whole exercise is silly. Many if not most people, even the most retarded cucks, no longer harbor illusions about the FBI and DOJ. Hell, increasingly this distrust applies to Muh Military. The American public has… Read more »
> Use of the Military Production Act to deliver baby formula, for example, is at least an attempt to assuage outrage that formula is being provided to illegal aliens and denied to citizens. The insane part is the FDA bans European formula, though it’s objectively far better for most than the American sludge we give our kids. Just lifting the restrictions would solve the shortage overnight without a dramatic and ultimately useless airlift. It’s another aspect of Theatre Kid government, where the focus is not on fundamental items like rule of law, transparency, and dispensing justice to corrupt agents who… Read more »
In one of life’s little ironies the EU did some good things with their food regs by banning dozens of toxic fillers and preservatives that are A-OK in the US.
I figure that’s because they don’t have the same Big Ag lobbies for industrial farming, corn, sugar, etc. that we have in the US.
Chet Rollins: I spent quite a bit, when my daughter-in-law had extreme difficulty nursing, to buy European goats’ milk formula for our grandson. No corn syrup or soy or all the other sludge found in American formula. I don’t know if it was technically ‘illegal’ or not, but it was easily ordered and obtained if one had the $ to pay for it. The benefit of mobilizing the heroic government and military to airlift formula was the excuse to activate the Defense Production Act. Thus all anticipated future shortages and the sheeple crying out to the government for help will… Read more »
I had not considered that particular angle, 3g, but it likely was part of the equation. Sharp take. But let’s take this a step further. Eventually, and maybe this summer, vital stocks (including 40’s and Kools) will not be available on store shelves. It will not be a matter of cost but straight up unavailability. Shaniqua and Tyrone will not be happy, and the military cannot procure what is not available. That will be the pretext for martial law although it only will be applied to Chad and Karen. Shaniqua and Tyrone due to equity will be allowed to roam… Read more »
Jack nails it here. The FBI now only has time to investigate white guys who have given any offense to blacks, race hoaxes, bank robbers (because banks run the country) and conservative politicians. Everything else slides. The Jalisco cartel and the Zetas could take over San Antonio before eliciting the slightest comment from the Biden Administration.
Institutional decay is obviously accelerating. We have become numb to it. In just the last 3 years, we have had unprecedented crookery, profiteering, censorship and gaslighting.
Jack correctly observes that the ruling junta must provide formula though or risk the Diem/Allende treatment.
Captain Willard says: “Everything else slides.” I had exactly this feeling, when, at the weekend I watched the 2009 film From Paris, With Love. John Travolta plays some sort of special ops agent who initially starts shooting up drug dens in Paris and killing a large number of them. It is then made known to us that this is a means to the end: prevention of a suspected terror attack on beloved European politicians. I caught this exact sentiment running through my mind, in that, wiping out drug cartels and gangs (many of whom are ethnic undesirables – so a… Read more »
Captain Willard in that vein Major League Baseball suspended Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson for one game Monday after he was accused of making a racist remark toward White Sox infielder Tim Anderson. Benches cleared after Donaldson called Anderson “Jackie,” a reference to Jackie Robinson, who broke MLB’s color barrier.
This calls for another FBI clown car investigation.
A strange land this is.
Everything is racist to a black person looking to be offended. So tiresome.
Captain Willard: “The Jalisco cartel and the Zetas could take over San Antonio before eliciting the slightest comment from the Biden Administration.”
Surely they did so long ago, via their local compatriots.
I agree with 3g4me, that the FDA-sponsored formula shortage was an act of manufacturing demand- an “excuse to activate the Defense Production Act.”
I’m just now listening to that epic nitwit, Judge Jeanine Pirro on Fox, moans how we have to “harden the schools.”
For the chirruns. Not a word about armed citizens.
What I find interesting about this charade is the Clinton angle. No one ever comes out and denounces Clinton or Clintonism, which would be the easy play. “We have to close the books on that era of political blood sport blah blah blah” would be the easiest way to marginalize the Clintons and their cronies. Instead we get this roundabout way of setting up Hillary as the Dr. Evil in this conspiracy to tarnish our beloved FBI. What this says is the semi-permanent elite are desperate to save the reputation of the FBI and DOJ, but avoid offending the Clinton… Read more »
The semi-permanent elite will not offend the Clinton crime family–it is quite dangerous–but they ARE taking out the hook. The Sussman Trial is telling the Clintons to quietly exit the stage so the FBI/DOJ can be salvaged, which is impossible but hope springs eternal.
Closely related: I’ve never really disentangled why, but the Epstein Affair plays into all of this and its exposure terrified the Regime. I’ve thought through several obvious scenarios, almost all involving blackmail, but they come up short every time.
I found it amazing that Prince Andrew has been thoroughly trashed publically for his part in the Epstein affair but not a peep is uttered about Bill Clinton’s involvement. I am no fan of the British royal family but at one time Andrew was second in line for the throne of a 1000 year old dynasty. Who is Bill Clinton, a scoundrel of questionable lineage from Arkansas, in comparison to that? Who or what has been protecting the Clinton’s all these years?
Clinton was read into the Deep State when he went to Georgetown, landed a Rhodes scholarship, and then did his JD at Yale.
He was then selected governor of Arkansas because they figured he would be reliable in permitting and protecting Deep State shenanigans in Mena during the 80s.
He did that job so well the Deep State selected him to be president as a thank you.
It ain’t a “1000 year old dynasty”. The name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha came into the British Royal Family in 1840 with the marriage of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert, son of Ernst, Duke of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha. Queen Victoria herself was the last monarch of the House of Hanover. The House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha as a British dynasty was short-lived. It encompassed the reign of King Edward VII, who reigned for nine years at the beginning of the modern age in the early years of the twentieth century, and the first seven years of his son, King George V, who replaced the German-sounding… Read more »
Pazuzu, man. Pazuzu’s been protecting his boy all these years.
Adding to Geese’s, Hillary was the intern who brought down Nixon. It was she who unveiled the tapes, and the infamous “missing 18 minutes.”
I believe it is the Mossad angle. So many “playahs” became ensnared in the net, that exposure of this foreign intelligence penetration/blackmail racket is unthinkable; permitting this to happen in any meaningful way would invoke a form of the “Samson Option”, leaving a trail of bodies of the compromised “elites” in its wake.
I have considered the Mossad angle and it is viable. If it is correct, I would suggest the complicity of United States intelligence services in a foreign government op to blackmail its (and closely allied) citizens–who have the juice to do something retaliatory–probably is the primary cause of concern.
As an aside, you seldom come across any independent analysis of the Epstein situation. I grok the state-controlled propaganda organs avoiding it, but if there has been independent inquiry, I am unaware.
My background on Le Affaire Epstein is rather sketchy, gleaned from some Unz articles. It is at least on a par with my background on the Sally Hemmings — Jefferson allegations, so take with a certain grain of salt. 🙂 His curious beginnings, being of no special talent, to being very wealthy with no clear source, suggests hidden sources of funding. His 2008 conviction in Florida, and the (at the time even) curious reluctance of the Feds to file any charges. Amazingly, Wikipedia even mentions the Acosta comment: “Acosta later said he offered a lenient plea deal because he was… Read more »

You have way too much confidence in the masses. The elite could be sacrificing babies to a volcano god and the masses will go along with it.

We should be sensitive to the fact that no one genuinely right wing has proposed any clear workable plan to soft land the crash, much less recover control.

As a fan, I have to disagree the pee pee dossier affair and coverup constitutes the greatest hoax in US history. That honor belongs to WWII, then Covid, the 2020 general election, and the six million. The pee pee flows down from those events.
Generally agree, however I would rank the (probable) hoaxes from biggest to smaller in terms of the enduring impact (e.g. political power accrued, total deaths) as follows: 1. Holocaust/Six Million — led to enormous gains of political and other influence in many nations. A case could be made for the “Jewish Conspiracy” over a longer time frame, but surely the period from Nazi Germany forward has been an unparalleled achievement for them, in known history. 2. WW II — similar, Jewish influence to sway nations to profit allied business (banking, industry); perhaps creation of Israel the nation. Taken by itself,… Read more »
