The selection of a complete nobody to be the Speaker of the House is a good way to understand how things actually work in our system. Most people still think their vote matters in terms of who occupies elected office and how they go about their jobs, but the rise of Mike Johnson shows that to be false. You voting has little bearing on the way the pollical system functions.
Look at Johnson’s career and you see how the system selects for and against types of people at the lowest levels of politics. If one day you want to be in Congress, it means starting in politics at a young age and subjecting yourself to a lengthy filtering process to make sure you are going to fit and support the system. Our democracy selects for conformity and strongly selects against curiosity.
This also explains why the political class has such a strong contempt for the people the system is supposed to represent. As a practical matter, only about ten percent of elected officials are subject to the voters. The rest occupy safe seats that are controlled by the party. That means your success as an office holder depends on making the party and its underwriters happy. The voters are an annoying distraction.
Elected officials and the vast army of supporting players feel compelled to play along with the charade of democracy, but at some level even the dullest of the bunch understand it is all a pointless performance. It is that conflict between the reality of politics and the need to pretend otherwise that leads to frustration. If the voters would just agree with everything, life would be so simple in Washington.
That is why a guy like Mike Johnson gets selected. So far, he has demonstrated an ability to convince the rubes back home that the system works. He also brings the multi-billion-dollar Christian Inc. operation with him, which will make sure to bribe any potential detractors in the caucus. That way the system can go back to doing what it is designed to do, which is to serve the interests of the economic elites.

Obama:
‘All of this is taking place against the backdrop of decades of failure to achieve a durable peace for both Israelis and Palestinians
‘I look at this and I think back, ‘What could I have done during my presidency, to move this forward?’ as hard as I tried. I’ve got the scars to prove it.
OOOh the scars!
Is it that Obama and his minions are just so petty that they have to blow up the middle east up because they are still mad that Trump brought peace through strength to that part of the world?
They have to blow everything up trying to make us forget that Trump’s term even existed and how things went when he was in charge? How he made things they said were impossible, possible.
The Z-Man wrote, earlier in the thread: A million years ago when I was a teenager, I would volunteer for political candidates. I had a part-time job with a congressman, so I would often be asked to volunteer for certain things. That is an interesting anecdote. It certainly sheds more light on some of your subsequent attitudes and helps to explain why you became so cynical about the system. You seem to have had an unusual life as a youngster. When I was a teenager, I would have been mortified at the idea of a congressman even knowing who I… Read more »
“..seeing my wretched, dysfunctional family and my falling-down-drunk parents. Being poor and uncouth, growing up in a trailer park in the dusty plains of northern Colorado…”
Sorry to hear that, ID, and I know that you’re not trawling for pity. Your backstory adds depth to your posts.
Thank you, Line in the Sand, I always appreciate your kind words and easy demeanor.
In my teenage years, my only interest in politics was to secure status among my maternal extended family, almost all of whom–including my mom–were Leftists. Moreover, these people were quite bright, and I concluded therefrom that if one were to be an intellectual, one had to be a Leftist. And given that I had aspirations along those lines, my political views tacked decidedly leftward. Alas, it wasn’t until late in my undergraduate days, say roughly 1992 and at the age of 24, that I began to jettison Leftism. And it wasn’t until 2010 that I became a race realist. In… Read more »
That’s very interesting, Ostei. I always enjoy hearing more about where people are coming from, although understandably people want to avoid completely doxing themselves. Congratulations on your ongoing journey.
Do our views become better, i.e. more accurately aligned with reality, over time? Is one fundamentally wiser at the age of 56 than he was at 16? It stands to reason–so to speak. But AINO, and the Left in general, behaves as if the opposite were true. Another feature of the Satanic Inversion, I suppose.
The best of luck to you, ID, on your path to greater wisdom.
I suspect that decent men drift away from leftism as adults because they start gaining the life experience to see that all the victim people they were taught about in school largely have only themselves to blame. That just leaves sociopathic men willing to say anything to maintain social status and women vulnerable to appeals to empathy.
Ploppy: “leftism… sociopathic men willing to say anything to maintain social status and women vulnerable to appeals to empathy…” I would strongly consider flipping around the sexes, and rearranging the analysis to look something like the following… “leftism… sociopathic women willing to say anything to maintain social status and men vulnerable to appeals to empathy” Although Jack Dodson had an excellent insight on Friday: “The last I saw less than five percent have taken the new and improved vaccine—which if correct means even Covid-wearing Karen has refused it.” https://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=31071#comment-376604 That would tend to indicate that the V@xxines of Death are… Read more »
I for one would like to know more about your path out of leftism.
I grew up in a one-parent household, which was the offspring of a paternal and maternal one-parent household, both of which were filled with drunks, gamblers, draft-dodgers, rusties, and louts. Still, I managed to read some books while a teenager, unlike you and your virtue-signalling blacks and latinos, with whom you (naturally) identify, and which — of course — makes you a superior person, for identifying with the footstools of our society. Your comments always seem to redound upon how special you are compared to others. Here we a comment in which you — stupid, young, ignorant — are still… Read more »

Never heard of the guy, did an image search. The granny glasses say it all.
Has anyone seen the pic of Johnson when he first “adopted” that black? Major cuck vibes. Thinking of Johnson’s weird hairlessness makes me think of a line from one of the greatest works of literature, The Canterbury Tales: “I judged he was a gelding or a mare.”
OBVIOUS & UNDENIABLE GAY PAEDO FACE. Not even debatable. Johnson wanted that shiny young big black buck in his household for a reason. The greatest socio-political shock of muh life, maybe even bigger than realizing the abject horror of the JQ itself, the biggest shock was coming to terms with the fact that the GOP was the party of the s0d0mites, versus the DEMs, which were the party of masculine satyrs. Anyone who would have hypothesized such a dichotomy to me, circa my childhood, would have struck me as being an abject lunatic. But we can’t deny it anymoar. GOPers… Read more »
This is one of your best podcasts ever. It clearly explains that the system is broken and cannot be repaired via voting harder because everyone sucked into the DC toilet bowl is eventually contaminated or compromised by larger forces endemic to the managerial cancer that has evolved there. This is not a trivial problem and there is no redemption to be had via wordism and attempted persuasion of the masses. I would argue that there really is no viable solution to the problem as it currently manifests. We are on a collision course with collapse and only that outcome can… Read more »

Made me think about how the “system” selects folks for their agreeable opinions.
“You know, the Nazi’s were socialists. And socialists are just about the worst thing ever!”
Not wanting to do a podcast but doing a podcast anyway because you know not doing a podcast will only make it twice as hard to not skip the podcast next week too is the exact podcast we need.
That’s a great study, there was another one like it that came a while ago that showed people living under dictatorships in the third world had a lot more say over their societies than western democracies. Unfortunately I lost the link & can’t find it for the life of me nor can I find the since banned youtube video discussing it. Not that it matters, it’s like the existence of gravity in that I don’t need a study to confirm what I can observe with my own eyes & anyone who needs a source to confirm it isn’t worth talking… Read more »
I remember reading something along those lines, the explanation being that democracies shift the blame for bad policies onto the voters, while dictators need to maintain the idea that they are the authority and thus responsible for policy. You see this all the time in the Anal Empire, when something goes wrong and they can’t spin it into a positive it’s always the collective “we” at fault. For example, the neocon middle east wars and the covid hysteria are framed as mass psychoses coming from the public rather than the stupid decisions of the elites.
Anal Empire LOL
To be fair, mass psychosis was significantly responsible for the covid hysteria. If first world people weren’t such cowardly, gullible softies, the Power Structure wouldn’t have been able to perpetrate the fraud.
Yeah but the mass psychosis isn’t grassroots, it’s generated by the elites. For covid you had that goblin Fauci on the electric Jew every night telling the cattle how then needed to bathe in hand sanitizer.
“Electric Jew”. I like that. “Talmudvision” also works
If the masses had bullshit detectors as in the days of olde, they would have laffed Fowlchy off the stage.
TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, hand sanitizer was all that was needed. Covid*** proved to be like all other respiratory viruses; it wasn’t transmitted via aerosols; it was transmitted via HAND-TO-MOUTH contact. Or hand-to-nose, or hand-to-eye. Point being that if you simply washed your hands on a regular basis [and didn’t pick your nose or suck your thumb or rub your eyes], COVID posed no threat to you whatsoever. ========== ***I have a lot of sympathy for Andrew Anglin’s thesis, which holds that likely there never was a novel virus in the first place; that plain old-fashioned influenza flu was simply re-branded, via… Read more »
“Anal Empire”
Mike Johnson has far & away the strongest and moast undeniable case of Gay Paedo Face that I’ve ever seen in a GOP congressman.
He makes Lindsey Grahamnesty look positively masculine by comparison.
There isn’t a doubt in my mind as to why Mike Johnson wanted to have an handsome young 14 year old nubian buck in the household.

===============
“the multi-billion-dollar Christian Inc. operation”
It’s becoming as tawdry as jesuitism itself.
Bourbon
With regards to rebranding, the giveaway was that there were 40,000,000 reported cases of Flu the year before the Coff.
The first year of the Coff? 3,600 cases reported.
It was a Christmas miracle!
One wonders why anyone needs a Flu shot, since it’s been eliminated.
If the government or MSM said the sun rose in the east, I would have to confirm it for myself.
Bartleby, they have an “answer” for that–a theory that holds that two viruses can’t coexist in the same victim. Covid beat out the “flu” for victims. I think its a load of crap, but was put out by some folk I follow.
Anal Empire LOL
They don’t call the Clown World regime GloboHomo and the GAE (Global American Empire) for nothing.
All members of the Managerial Class, private and public, are adept at socializing the cost amd privatizing the benefit.
KGB: “All members of the Managerial Class, private and public, are adept at socializing the cost and privatizing the benefit.”
It’s the Hive Mind of the Passive Aggressive Industrial Class.
Passive Aggression is the most viciously ruthlessly coldly clinically soullessly successful behavioral algorithm known to the annals of Darwinism.
On a long enough timeline, and if left to its own devices, Passive Aggression will eventually destroy the entirety of Creation.
That’s always been the objective…
The enemy is always ready to take advantage of any opportunity which might present itself. They make their own luck. When the banks started failing in 08, they had the libertarian types sitting in the wings waiting to take advantage of the anger people had at the bank bailouts and obscene bonuses for wrecking the economy. They were swept into office in 2010 and then did absolutely nothing other than stupid clown shows with the debt ceiling. I recall out of nowhere, the media started doing segments on how suddenly popular Ayn Rand’s (Alisa Zinov’yevna Rosenbaum) books were and how… Read more »
Public trust and confidence has collapsed now. That is the fundamental difference from 2007. Ruling by force is about the only option for them to maintain power, in the event that has never really been the case.
The Regime certainly doesn’t act like it thinks a well-run PR campaign is the ticket these days.
To me, it seems as though the regime thinks the best thing to do is ram through the WHO Plandemic Treaty and kick off WW3 so that elections can be permanently canceled and all remaining freedoms can be stripped from the filthy plebes.
If that is the case, WWIII will be where they default. The last I saw less than five percent have taken the new and improved vaccine—which if correct means even Covid-wearing Karen has refused it. My guess is the fuckers will force us to go along with their ride into Armagedón, to which apparently think they have natural immunity. No need to Monday morning quarterback but surely this scenario at least could have been avoided.
The American system of government was constructed to serve the financial elites. In the old days, the elite were the Southern slave owners and the Northern commercial elite. The civil war eliminated the Southern branch and brought to power the Northern industrialists and their party, the Republicans. The Depression ended the Republican reign and brought a new managerial elite to power in both business and government, with the Democratic Party as their main political vehicle. A major difference in the old and the new elite is their attitude towards the American people. The old elite had a connection to the… Read more »
“The new elite is anti-nationalist, loathes the American people and works tirelessly for their demoralization and replacement with a new, servile, imported class of cheap laborers.”
It has to be more complicated than that. In brief, this society, America, is a consumer based society. We work to buy crap. Our replacements are low level, subsistence farmer types. IQ follows, then productivity. Who are the elites going to lord over when the society turns brown? Who is going to buy what they produce?
If the system selects for conformists, I’m for diversity hires, because their biological nature cannot conform to the standards the elites need to run anything. White nationalist should play the ‘fink’ game on Washington. Say the slogans and be the white guy who hires uneducated black/hispanic/lefty masses to run the electrical grid for example. Fire every single capable white dude in any organization that runs the system and let the real show begin. If someone asks about it, say they are racist bigots. Before the whole thing callapses, loot the treasury and donor money, live off grid and watch the… Read more »
“Say the slogans and be the white guy who hires uneducated black/hispanic/lefty masses to run the electrical grid for example.” The government itself is enforcing that already, I work in construction & in order to even be allowed to bid on infrastructure contracts you have to hit a diversity quota. Meanwhile all the state run utility companies where I live are basically only hiring brown people, particularly the underprivileged “yoof.” They even have “pograms” to hire these people right out of high school or more accurately once they get their GED. Currently what this amounts to in practice is having… Read more »
I’ve been watching this show called Bargain Block about 2 gay white guys that go around fixing up houses in Detroit, and selling them, and my initial reaction every episode is “why aren’t black people doing this?”, but then of course physics and calculus rear their ugly heads…
I think you might be a little behind the curve with that lol.
Damn, I had forgotten (mission accomplished there, Deep State) about the FBI agent caught shaking down Gaetz’s father. That explains why Gaetz was bulletproof enough to sack McCarthy, even if the replacement is essentially a clone. Does anyone know what came of that extortion attempt? I am certain there were no criminal penalties or even a job loss but would like to see how it was handled if anyone has a link. As for Z’s larger point about team players and managerialism, just note how many congressmen or senators ever have uttered Jeffrey Epstein’s name. The complete silence says it… Read more »
I remember getting involved in college 30 years back. I was a Reagan republican at the time, naive, and believed in the whole system. I sheepishly admit I did college republicans and campus crusade for christ. The first major shock I received was in freshman English where a professor happily proclaimed that America would soon be a white minority country. He went on to talk about the virtues of communism and the evils of whites and western culture. So I fought back, as ignorantly as I could, with all of the inconsistencies typical of my background. It would be another… Read more »
southpol, you’re clearly a good guy. I wish that we had a system that could have put all your youthful idealistic energy to good use.
Your story reminds me of the rise of the Log Cabin Republicans, from painful embarrassment to pride of the GOP, from the 80s to the present. (And while most of my affection for Lincoln has faded, their very name is a slander against the man.)
The very name is part and parcel of the Homos’ twisted need to defecate on all that is good and wholesome (not that Lincoln was, but y’all know what I mean).
Z makes a convincing argument that the system of government that we live under selects those who support it. That makes complete sense as does the observation that it exists for those in power, not for rank and file Americans. The issue at hand then is what can be done about it beyond awareness, and that has largely been my largest complaint with much of the DR: I don’t want to merely document the fall. I have been fairly well convinced by the libertarians that localism is the way forward but I see little evidence that is occurring here. Lately… Read more »
This may sound cruel, but in my opinion, no more than 25 percent of white “Americans” are salvageable. This is the “remnant.” The rest are so stupid, debased and fundamentally traitorous that they do more harm than good.
I was thinking 30%, +/-.
I have come to a similar conclusion. COVID hysteria, single motherhood, the LGBT movement, the Israel above all else “conservatives”, and feminism has shown there are a ton of whites who are incapable of critical thought and possess no capacity for the healthy tribalism necessary to overcome what is coming. America in general produces obese, degenerate mutts of whites. We need wolves, but they aren’t produced in AINO..
Nothing at all can be done about it, southpoll, because there is exactly one solution and nobody can talk about that solution. We can support our guys some, but the idea that anyone can retreat to some place and tribe up is nonsense on stilts.
OT, and a response to Compsci, from a day or two ago. He had a question about teardrop tattoos on individuals. As one who hired a fellow with said tats on his face,(I was young and naive, I know), I asked him what they meant. Without hesitation, he explained that the ones that are just the outline, mean they had a loved one, or homie, killed by someone. The filled in ones meant that the wearer actually killed someone. He had both. He explained he eliminated the individual who killed his brother. I then told him that the drywall waiting… Read more »
It does help, thanks. BTW for the record/extension, I moved homes about 8 years ago upon retirement. The first big purchase was a huge safe for the garage, made to my design and ordered from an out of state firm. Problem was I did not realize what such a monster required to get it delivered, then dragged up a hill, and placed into the garage—1+ ton safes do not move themselves. A local moving company, then currently under multiple indictments for typical moving company shenanigans, was the only company willing to handle the move and install. (What can go wrong?)… Read more »
Well, there is still a bit of conquistador floating around in the genes of the Hispanic peoples.
Also, even though their human sacrificial practices were awful, the Aztec, Maya, and Inca were able to build some impressive large-scale structures.
Very little I would think. The real conquistadores themselves were very few in number. Considering them a separate category from colonists who came after.
Funny you should note the sparsity of Conquistadors compared to the Aztec’s. Just reading at UNZ, “Did We Steal America from the Indians?” by Jef Costello. Of course Jef discusses how the Indians mostly slaughtered themselves for centuries before the White man came to show them “how it’s really done”. 😉 Jef mentions how the Leftists refuse to acknowledge intratribal warfare and land take over prior to the discovery of America. Well, the conquistadors conquered the Aztecs by allying with tribes the Aztecs had defeated and therefore had old scores to settle with the “empire”. Perfect example that Jef could… Read more »
Seems like other people knowing you have a giant safe would make you less secure than not having the safe in the first place.
I’ve always wondered if there was an art to getting a big ass safe delivered and installed without the whole neighbourhood (not to mention the installers and retailer) knowing that you’re a good candidate for home invasion.
Apparently not, short of doing what they did when they buried stone age kings, early Chinese emperors, etc.
There is benefit to living in an outlying area and upon a hill. People look up and see very little. But your point is well taken, home invasion is the one thing difficult to prevent–passively anyway. Safe will survive burn down and physical attacks–short of explosives. Whether I’d open it at the point of a gun is another question (unanswered).
One of the funniest human beings I’ve ever known was a Messkin named Benny Chavez who had, in his youth, been convicted of murder. Worked with him in a dry cleaners back in ’95 and ’96. He wasn’t tatted up, BTW.
If there’s one “positive” to the Johnson speakership it’s that it’s brought out into the open how much Christians, or the wrong kind of Christians, are hated in this economic zone. That mask is off. Nobody can pretend anymore. I like it when everybody puts their cards on the table.
I bet the shitlibs weren’t expecting the “maga extremists” to come to the defense of Ms. Tlaib the other day. It is a time of shifting alliances.
A lot of masks seem to be dropping these days. Hope that keeps up
Only appopriate given that Halloween was just the other day.
But the difference is, these monsters look scarier without masks 😁

Real world examples are always enlightening so here’s one. (Names and locations have been slightly altered to protect, well, me.) Debbie, 30, is a mother who works for the Arlington County school system. She’s a very liberal Democrat who volunteers on a various campaigns, both local and state. Debbie, who now knows some of the local politicians and party officials, decides that she wants to run for school board. Dems always win spots on the school board, but you still need to get your name out – and that means money and help from the Dem party. So, she’d need… Read more »
Yes but the question is – how much of this is legit, C? Far be it for me to defend donks and libs… but in this case, vetting is entirely legitimate and warranted. Our blog host recommends the same for Dissidents: don’t partner up with crazy people, don’t allow any guy off the street into your circle, etc. The donks are doing exactly what they should – vetting their people. In point of fact, it is we conservative minded folks that have dropped the ball. We should have turfed cretins like Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, etc. The more I think… Read more »
You make a good point. Vetting is just something that any good organization does. And, yes, we should do it as well. My point was simply that voting is pointless. The real voting happened long before and by the managerial class. As to tactics, I’d love if we could organize and fight back like any other group, but that ship has sailed. We let people who hate and fear us take over the system. They won’t let rise within or take on that system in the same that we stupidly let them. We’ll have to work outside the system –… Read more »
I’m sufficiently fearful of the greater evil that I’m gonna go vote for the lesser evil next week. Can’t seem to break the habit.
Yeah, what’s the alternative? My one thought was some sort of testing system where anyone seeking a specific office has to take a test and voters would then have an out-of-band factoid on which to chose candidates, but it’s hard to see how something like that wouldn’t get corrupted (“oh look, all my candidates scored 1000%)
Anyway, none of this would even matter if the system wasn’t actively doing it’s level best to genocide us.
One problem here with running for office is that candidates are limited wrt solicitation of funds from individuals. Here it used to be a few hundred dollars, now it’s been increased to a few thousand. However, organizations can set up PAC’s with *no* limit as to contributions and expenditures! The only limit is that you can’t coordinate with them as a candidate. Ostensibly you both can’t communicate on expenditures in your run for office. (If you believe that.) So an organization such as the Democratic Party with large amounts of $$$ and savvy become much more important than the rank… Read more »
We indeed have a ‘Max Headroom’ president as we speak…even glitchier than than than the original….
I took one look at Johnson and could immediately tell that he’s just another McCarthy. He’s not necessarily a bad man. He would be great as a farm manager maybe, or maybe own a successful jet ski dealership. He looks like he would be a good, active member of the Flock at his local mega church. And raising 5 kids is impressive. But he’s not the man who will fight against the Deep State. He’s not the kind of man who’s even aware that a Deep State exists, or of a need to fight it. He’s not the kind of… Read more »
If he was a real anti-deep state reformer, he would not be speaker.
Jeffrey Zoar: If he was a real anti-deep state reformer, he never would have won an elected office at all.
The system selects its types, no matter the facade. Mike may be a ‘decent’ guy, but he is fully invested in the system. His political views are, at heart, little different than David French.
I wouldn’t go that far. We’ve seen a few rebels break through the outer defenses, to be either assimilated or purged.
3g touches on the elephant in the room. I haven’t listened to Z Man’s podcast yet, so maybe he mentions this, but Johnson and his wife adopted a teenage black boy when they were in their twenties. Even by cuckservative Christian standards this is weird.
Let’s hope that David French’s white savior virtue preening is all that is going on here and not something more sordid!
Reminds me that the people who succeed in politics are just not normal, or even sane, people. What’s happening is weirder than even dissidents imagine
“Johnson and his wife adopted a teenage black boy”
Every. Single. Time. And note the absence of perentheses. Who needs Finkels when the Kaylebs and Kaylees pull this kind of shit?
Ah yes, and what a wonderful young talented tenth his adorable adopted baby boy has turned out to be!
“ He’s not necessarily a bad man.”
Yes, he is a very bad man.
Fair point. However, in a so-called democracy, what sort of person seeks to become a politician? In the main, power-mad maniacs who will say and do anything to gain power and even more to retain it. As a general rule of “democracy,” anybody who gets elected, shouldn’t.
Elections manage to attract sociopaths in a way psychiatrists could only dream of
Our political system would be a million times better if all positions were held by a mandatory lottery for everyone with an IQ over 115. Mandatory as in if you get selected you don’t get to say no: the reason our juries are terrible is because only retards and the elderly have the time to sit through a trial and wont’ find a way to weasel out of it.
My old senator, James Lankford (R-OK), was a super-Christian too. “Christian” in quotes mind you. Oh, I’m sure he’s a fairly kind and civilized man and reads scripture and tries to do what he think Jesus would do. But I don’t know how you can pretend to be a Christian and literally serve Moloch. But I suppose all those “Christian Conservatives” have been starstruck by the waving flag and military visits and GOP insiders and mainstream journalists like all the other tools in DC. The only difference being the CCs think that voting harder plus reading the BAHBULL harder will… Read more »
I fail to understand how the hardcore “Christians” can be so fanatically devoted to Israel and to wars in the Middle East. I was raised Catholic, and Catholics hardly ever read the Bible. When I finally read it (and understood it) it became obvious to me that the basic foundational principle of Christianity is the rejection of Judaism. The entire Old Testament is a litany of murders committed by Jews against their enemies, allegedly sanctioned by (and in cases like Passover, committed by) God. The Sanhedrin had Christ tortured to death because he rejected the idea that Jews were “God’s… Read more »

It’s called gaslighting. I’ve asked the same questions at family gatherings, and am greeted with bewildered stares.
I keep it up. Several have risen from their slumber.
The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. And who, pray, were those “builders”?
They literally do not see the forest for the trees. This. But they have been massively gaslit. Keith Woods has a good Twitter thread about it…he says it comes from the Scofield Bible crowd, and Scofield was bankrolled by a Zionist named (((Untermayer))). Though I have even heard my Orthodox priest say “Judeo-Christian” a number of times, so Untermayer’s tentacles have even infiltrated my beloved church. As for Orthodox as a whole, and maybe some Orthobros can correct me, it seems they “play nice” with Jews and Muslims…because they have to. That tends to happen when 4/5ths of your patriarchal… Read more »

Any time I hear the words “Judeo-Christian,” I know the speaker is either a liar or is ignorant of true biblical doctrine.

Matthew 28:19
You can’t be a real Christian and a Zionist. You are disobeying the great commission.
Matthew 23: “All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets, and to be… Read more »
Xman. Don’t confuse the New Testament with the Old. In there lies the rub.
The Scofield Bible has been a disaster for the human race. Most likely as intended.
Almost everyone who I attend Latin Mass with knows the deal on the tribe. To a person, the attitude is “They’ve been killing each other for 5k years, it’s not our problem.”
Most sects of fundamentalist protestantism are off-shoots of puritanism. Puritanism is basically motivated by an envy of Judaism. Scripture has nothing to do with it.
Nothing at all can be done about it, southpoll, because there is exactly one solution and nobody can talk about that solution. We can support our guys some, but the idea that anyone can retreat to some place and tribe up is nonsense on stilts.
Dorky duplicate post
Well Evangelicals are the same morons who think that praying will lead to material wealth. Apparently they just skimmed the cliff’s notes on Job. It’s just as dumb as Jews thinking that they’re tricking God by hiring a Shabbas Goy to flip their light switches for them.
How it works, huh? Z… I have some muddled thoughts that raise questions for me. I am unhappy with this idea where Washington is Smurf Village where all the players scratch each other’s backs, secret handshakes all round, money’s passed under tables in brown envelopes, and the sun always shines. In an environment with that much power and money, surely, there has to be rivalries, greed, back stabbing, treachery and all the other fun stuff you’d see in a medieval king’s court? At least – I would think so. How do they maintain the equilibrium required for your explanation? Hell’s… Read more »
“Hell’s bells – the friggin JEWS are at each other’s throats half the time.”
This may be true, but when push comes to shove, they will always side with the Jews against everyone else. They will also bribe, blackmail or coerce everyone else to side with the Jews.
Whites, in contrast, are punished if they show any in-group preference or dare to suggest making our own citizens a priority, as opposed to sending buckets of billions overseas. Remember when the Republican voters were reliably informed that we couldn’t afford 5 billion for a border wall? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Almost every member of the tribe, regardless of their political party, agrees on massive immigration and protecting Israel over America. In general, they agree on dispossessing traditional Americans, even if they wouldn’t describe their position as such.
When I was a conservative, the first glimpse that I got of this was when the conservative radio host, Michael Medved, supported Bush’s amnesty plans, in spite of angry opposition from most of his listeners. He couldn’t help himself.
Not saying any of you guys are wrong. No doubt, you largely have the right of it. By modern definitions I AM an antisemite – and proudly so – but for me, the math and logic has to add up. Consider your point here: hypothetically – suppose you’re a jew. And you decide to replace whites with third world human trash. Why would you invite in swarms of violent, stupid muslims that hate you and want to kill you? The other race morons are similarly liabilities. Chit skinned Morons are bad for business. They don’t work, they can’t think, and… Read more »
The power of hate is what you are missing.
That, and the Chosenites fear that, once their aggressions and transgressions were to become widely known here, it’ll potentially be game over for them here, and just when Isn’tReal is driven to the wall or even destroyed. I mean, who would want to be saddled with being #110 after the sordid display they have put on here, in the place that gave them the best shake they will ever likely get, and they just blew it out their asses?
The modern United States is a paradise for the Jews, and they still couldn’t leave well enough alone. Importing the third world, who are unburdened with WASP notions of fairness and are immune to the tale of the six gorillon, because Grandpa couldn’t get into a country club seems a bit shortsighted.
@JerseyJeffersonian “The power of hate is what you are missing.” As soon as I read Filthie’s question, I resolved to answer it with verbiage nearly identical to your own, then I read your comment. I call this the ‘stupidly nice white people’ phenomenon. (not calling you stupid, Filthie, we are ALL guilty of this; it’s our way) We don’t hang on to unforced hatreds like most non-Europeans do. Hatred for us invariably has a recent cause and fades fairly quickly when the reason ceases to be there to spur it on. We mistakenly project or extrapolate that other people are… Read more »
To me that seems like a “What’s the matter with Kansas?” question.
There is no cap on the different number of reasons supporters of mass immigrant tractor-beam can have. The fact they don’t see the boomerang or iceberg or whichever metaphor is preferred, is a collective-action dilemma and a fatal flaw in small-D democratic reasoning.
Filthie
Read the Talmud.
It explains everything quite clearly.
Filthie: There are plenty of turf wars – over committee assignments, over prime office space, over aides. But it’s all in house. They all know who’s bankrolling whom, who has dirt on whom, who speaks to which journolist (deliberate spelling). The oil that smooths the surface is money. Lots and lots. Political junkets. Luxury gifts. Gratis hotels and fine dining. The possibility of moving up in the ranks and the grift. They all enjoy being politicians – i.e. not the bullshitting of stupid voters, nor researching issues and writing bills (that’s what aides are for). They love speaking with ‘authority.’… Read more »
That would explain a LOT of how they can march in unison, 3G. But …. Hell’s bells… I’m still baffled. That kind of unison and team work demands smarts, discipline and idedication, as you note. But Look at Bill Clinton: he risked his marriage, job and reputation… for a gummer under the desk from an intern. Consider the legions of cretins that went to Epstein’s Pervert Island… or Pelosi’s husband getting hammered by a gay prostitute. These guys do not make good decisions or have any risk assessment skills. We are probably only seeing the tip of the iceberg on… Read more »
Filthie: You are making logical but incorrect assumptions. No, they don’t have to be disciplined or smart. They have tons of aides and handlers. I had the misfortune of dealing with a couple of CODELs (Congressional Delegations). This people are entitled, arrogant, condescending fools. They get talking points from their aides, who come to the FSNs to find out what is genuinely happening. They then massage the message to suit the circumstances. Congressman/Senator “X” makes some serious pronouncement. Meanwhile, he brings his wife and a kid and/or grandkid or two along so they can see some of the world, at… Read more »
Has it always been like that, 3G?
Just two things… -I have an acquittance whose kid is doing the Mike Johnson “Political Science->Law School->Not-For-Profit” career path so I’m guessing it’s pretty well known at this point (and probably at ‘that’ point too). Right away it says two things about the person. First, they’re very risk adverse since “political science” is a very bullsh!t degree that the aspiring cloud candidate knows that they can ace for their law school application. Secondly that their family has at least some sort of establishment and money since no one else is going to waste that vast sum of money on what… Read more »
A million years ago when I was a teenager, I would volunteer for political candidates. I had a part-time job with a congressman, so I would often be asked to volunteer for certain things. I was paid, of course. Even at that young age I could see the immense pressure to conform to the prevailing orthodoxy on all issues. This was the 1980’s, so if you were a Democrat, it meant chanting the lines about tax cuts for the wealthy. If you deviated from orthodoxy, you would quickly get a stink on you. it is not so much about politics… Read more »
While I agree with the selection process, the x-factor with Johnson is how this all came about. Throwing that lying toad McCarthy out was a disruptive event. Akin to Trump’s election, but on a smaller scale given the office. Throwing out a Speaker has never happened before. The Democrats – every bit as fractured as the GOP – we’re taking notes. Especially the ones in the Coalition of the Vibrant. The thing about disruptive events is they break the status quo. Most times, like with Trump or the 2011 sequestration/debt ceiling/shutdown, the Government Party puts in place new rules to… Read more »
For Johnson, he may be what you say, but if he was openly contemptuous of us, he’d have brought a combined Israel/Ukraine/Hamas funding bill to the floor. Instead, he did Israel only. I think his meteoric rise is due to him still putting on a good show for the rubes back home. He is also good at smoothing the feathers of the twenty or so people who want to serve their voters. Note that the so-called freedom caucus guys fell in line with Johnson. Christian Inc. has a lot of clout in their districts. That means guys like Gaetz cannot… Read more »
You’re probably right. Like you, I always assume the most cynical possible outcome. I’ve rarely been disappointed by doing so. If I give him the benefit of the doubt and nothing comes of it, I’m no worse off. If he believes what he says and acts on it, he’ll have a small window before the 2024 election fraud to engage in some guerilla warfare tactics against the Government Party before they change all the votes to Democrats to hand the House back to them. The disruptive nature of this is where we disagree. I think it may have a longer-lasting… Read more »
“they get invited to the Democrats celebration party.” This is much more important than people think. Washington is a small town, and the social scene is completely dominated by liberals. Every party, function, aware ceremony, the media, it’s all organized by liberals. People are social animals. A conservative first arriving in DC might resist the social pressure for a few years, but, over time, they acclimate to their environment. And the DC scene is a lot more fun for 90%+ of these guys than the local scene. I think one of the big things with Tucker Carlson is that he… Read more »
“For Johnson, he may be what you say, but if he was openly contemptuous of us, he’d have brought a combined Israel/Ukraine/Hamas funding bill to the floor. Instead, he did Israel only.” Although I upvoted you for the good insight and analysis, I can’t say I fully agree. IMO, the fact that he brought only Israel funding to the floor just goes to show where his real priorities are. If the tribe wants it, the tribe gets it. Or else. If voting to send money to a foreign country — any foreign country — while our own border is wide… Read more »
I agree with you, and I don’t think we should be sending money to any of them. For the Trump base of the MAGA coalition, Israel could be the thing that finally fractures Trump’s support. There are a lot of Evangelicals who not only want to send money to Israel, but also want to have this FINALLY be the “final war” that brings about the rapture. They’re all in on exterminating Hamas, triggering a regional war with the Muslims, and bringing about Armageddon. They’ve been so patient, but are tired of waiting for God. Across the table from them are… Read more »
While I suspect the differences between McCarthy and Johson are very marginal, I tend to agree with you about the disruption aspect. Even when they are substantively meaningless, disruptions within a corrupt system cause extreme distress. Fractures tend to increase once the initial cracks emerge. I had forgotten the extortion attempt on Gaetz’s father, which of course has been memoryholed, and that gave him a lot of leeway to throw a bomb, even if it proves largely a dud. Along with the accidental election of Trump and the subsequent Russia collusion hoax’s exposure, serious reputational damage was inflicted. I don’t… Read more »
