Note: Behind the green door I have a post about the wackiness of the real estate rackets, a post about the classic western High Noon, which is probably both overrated and underrated as a film. Then there is the Sunday podcast. You can sign up for a green door account at SubscribeStar or Substack.
If someone says something that is wrong or crazy about a topic in which you have no interest, you are most likely going to ignore them. Similarly, if the person saying these wacky things is someone you do not think has any credibility, you will not bother rebutting what they have to say. It is when someone says something incorrect or inaccurate about a topic you think is important that you respond. If you think that person has influence, you want to make sure to rebut them.
Politics in the age of the internet violates this rule as people engage with anonymous weirdos online over abstract topics all the time. There is an old meme where a guy is up late at night and his wife asks him why he is not in bed. He says, “There is a guy on the internet saying things I don’t like.” Most people are not like this, but the weirdness of this new thing depends on that reality at the start. You are not supposed to care about the words of anonymous weirdos.
That is the place to start with yet another example of the regime losing its mind over people holding the wrong opinion about the 2020 election. Here is a breakdown of the charges the Biden administration is bringing against Trump over the peaceful protests on January 6. The first thing to note is the prosecutor is using the crackpot idea of stochastic violence, which was cooked up by mentally unstable people on Twitter who thought mean tweets would cause them physical harm.
Note also that the core of the case against Trump here and in all of the January 6th persecutions is that the offenders are election denier. In many of these cases, the judge, as a part of the punishment, makes the accused say in open court that he now believes Biden won fair and square. You can be sure that the main goal of these charges against Trump is to get him to do the same. The regime and its volunteer army of toadies is obsessed with this idea.
The question is why? Since Trump came down the escalator these people have told us that Trump is a clown and his supporters are lunatics. If they genuinely believe it, then they should not care what they say. Granted, politics causes people to lose their minds, but the allegedly serious people in positions of power should not be going Daffy Duck over politics like they are a blue-haired harridans on Twitter. Yet it is important people in the regime that are berserk about this issue.
The other angle here is that if you think Biden won fair and square, then you have no reason to care about the fraud claims. Lots of far-left people swore Karl Rover rigged Ohio in 2004. They wrote books about it. No one took them seriously because their case was obvious nonsense, and they are nutters. Normal people spent five years laughing at the Russian collusion hoax for the same reason. In other words, normal people do not care about nutty claims from nutty people.
The most obvious and likely reason for this obsession by the regime and its toadies is that they think the election was rigged too. We have the hoary chestnut, “the laddie doth protest too much” for a reason. We suspect that when someone goes to great lengths to disprove an accusation that they are motivated by a fear that people will see that there is some truth in the accusation. The response should always be proportional to the accusation and the person making the accusation.
That means the root of all of this is the regime knows they went too far in the 2020 election they have now put the credibility of the system in question. They now feel the need to hunt down anyone who casts doubt on the results. This would also explain why you can still get banned from YouTube for mentioning this. Until Musk came along, Twitter was aggressively hunting down election skeptics. Three years on and the regime is still hunting people down for election skepticism.
This does not quite explain it all. By now they could have dropped it as we are deep into the next election. The trouble is, they are plotting to repeat the 2020 shenanigans, but this time they want to put Trump in jail in advance. If people were skeptical of the midnight vote counting the last time, they are going to see through any scheme to remove Trump from the ballot in 2024. Perhaps they think ending 2020 skepticism will somehow inoculate them this time.
A better answer or perhaps a companion answer is one that also explains the inappropriate response to January 6. Not only did the regime wildly overreact in the aftermath, but they have also been conducting what now looks like an elaborate coverup of wrongdoing before, during and after the event. These missing tapes have that Watergate feel to them. We could be in one of those times when the aluminum foil hat guys are the reasonable people in the room.
What explains January 6 and the kooky election denial stuff is the genuine fear that the system is far more fragile than the public knows. The people inside the black box that is Washington fear that they are sitting atop a house of cards. If the public really knew what they know, January 6 would be a day at the beach. The reason they are hunting down skeptics is they think any questioning of any aspect of the official narrative could cause the whole thing to unravel.
Another hoary chestnut that applies here is “just because you are paranoid it does not follow that no one is out to get you.” The people, including the election skeptics, may think the system is sound. It is the people running it. The people running it, however, may see it the exact opposite way. They may think they are fine, but the system itself is about to tip over and if it does, there will be hell to pay. That could be why they saw January 6 as something like Bloody Sunday.
Add to this that the people running the regime view themselves as revolutionaries in the line of the Jacobins and Bolsheviks. They were nursed on revolutionary talk and committed their lives to the slogans of the Left. They may run everything, but they still see themselves as plucky underdogs fighting the man. They know every revolution is a near run thing, so they are always in fear that their project will go sideways, and they will end up on the gallows or in the gulag.
In the end, what all this tells us is that the system and the people running it are probably not as stable as most want to believe. The system itself is no longer functioning as the users expect and the people running it are increasingly paranoid. The American political system is software that is full of bugs, run by a support staff that is shooting users who register complaints about the software. At some point you run out of users, or the users demand a new system.

There’s an interesting element of your thesis that you may have overlooked. While a true believer may overpower the cynic in the short run, the believer is ultimately pitching a belief system that promises some sort of favorable outcome or is making prognostications about the future that will, eventually, be put to the test. Religions that have their ultimate reward as a paradise in the afterlife retain an advantage because the veracity of their claims is unknowable. Masks and vaccines were a belief system. It didn’t take long for the bulk of the new converts to conclude the masks are… Read more »
I’ve noticed over the last decade or so the climate change predictions getting farther in the future, so they can’t be tested (anytime soon). Used to be we’d get stuff like “sea level rise will cause flooding in 20 years!” but now they put it off til 2070 or so.
“The laddie doth protest too much”?
Oh Z, ffs….
“The most obvious and likely reason for this obsession by the regime and its toadies is that they think the election was rigged too.” No, the reason they are doing it is because they know most people are sheep and forcing deniers to become accepters has a powerful effect on such people. The fact they rigged it is secondary to this. “A better answer or perhaps a companion answer is one that also explains the inappropriate response to January 6. Not only did the regime wildly overreact in the aftermath…” Again, incorrect. The regime acted very rationally in their response… Read more »

Expect cloud people’s paranoia about Russia to ebb and flow during 2024. Expect cloud people also to bring the USA much closer to conscripting a half million arrogant, male WASP’s to fight in eastern Europe for $omething or o🕎er. Pretexts will include, of course, liberty, defending Con artist law, and stopping the new new new Hitler.
WASPicide has no downside.

2020 was the year voting jumped the shark. Besides the usual hijinks. demographics and the reversal of Roe v Wade will prove too problematic in the future. Republicans have been in a downward spiral since then, and I don’t see it changing anytime soon. Even if Trump gets elected, this country probably has at least 40 million illegals from the 3rd world. Would he really deport that many of them?
“Would he really deport that many of them?”
You don’t need to deport all them. You need to deport a small amount of them AND make it known! They ‘ll leave on their own if we “Just Start Saying NO”
Cut off all government manna and a good number of them would self-deport.
In Operation Wetback, roughly 750 federal agents deported about 300,000 illegals in one year, while another one million self deported. Rough estimates, nobody really knows the exact numbers. The government claimed 1.3 million illegals were deported, and that’s probably something in the ballpark of how it went down. There was some assistance from local law enforcement.
The people who run the system here and arround the rest of the world are the owners of the central banks and other old money. People like biden , truduea ,macron, etc are their pawns who make no real decisions. build back better everyone .
Today’s conversation on the Z board .made me giddy and the reason is, Z presented us with reasonable arguments that the wicked are afraid. And people here smelled blood and rose to the occasion in a hunting mood. This may just be online but I think the emotions are real enough. When they show real weakness that will happen on a massive scale. And they will lose control. This was like going after the first deer of the season. Now more wants more. This is how they fall
As a side note, going out in public lately, has anyone notice a sort of weirdness in the air? Everyone looks at you like they’re either about to burst into tears or they want to kill you. Just odd. I can’t explain it. Maybe just on the leftard coast. Maybe all in my mind.
I have to agree with you. Looking at Tucker’s new ad for his network, he states what are considered “conspiracy theories” and will still get you banned from social media. It is a bizarre time, unlike any in my life. What with every ‘x’ number of people that pass by are masked-up, wild-eyed nuts. Even in ‘normal’ settings you see them.

It goes on and… Read more »
There is a palpable tension – for lack of a better word. I believe everyone is noticing the weirdness and the masked freakazoids don’t help the situation. Most people we’ve encountered out and about are friendly and apparently trying to weather the storm.
Shit has been weird since the COVID nonsense. It’s not in your face like it was 2-3 years ago. It’s receded into the background for the moment, but now that you know just how many people out there are truly insane and that you can get blindsided by them at any time, it’s hard to feel “normal” again.
All right, I’ll be the one to ‘go there.’ I will presume most here can/will agree that most of the frontmen of this regime, as well as its financiers and the ultimate string pullers, share a certain religious/ethnic heritage. These individuals are not known for moderation in their response to challenges or even mild criticism – both personal and corporate. We are dealing with a group known for both overt and situational collusion, paranoia, and the need to win every argument. Some term it Finkelthink, others pilpul, but it’s even more than that.

Regarding Orwell, tonight’s Final Jeopardy question was “Thomas Pynchon wrote that this novelist ‘in 1948 understood that despite the Axis defeat…fascism had not gone away.'” Am I being paranoid or is this another dollop of (((programming)))?
See, the surveillance state and the erosion of liberties is Hitler’s fault! It has nothing at all to do with leftist political ideologies that may or may not bear the fingerprints of a certain tribe.

For 20 Questions: Any comment on the love/hate relationship “our side” has with strong government? You’ve expressed admiration for both the Anti-Federalists and Joseph de Maistre!
Fighting for small government will be irrelevant until we have an ethnostate because only whites have any interest in small government. Further, “small government” is the excuse that most of the Republican presidential candidates use for allowing parents to mutilate their children in tranny surgeries.
After we have secured a homeland, some may argue for small government, but even then, this is an opening for corporations to oppress the people and for pornography, to name a few of the risks.
Until then, we must embrace fascism in the name of our tribe.
I think you have to ask yourself which part of the regime thinks we’re on thin ice. D.C. is the ID of the regime, completely emotive, seeking retribution. Too thick headed to know we’re on thin ice. The superego of the regime resides mostly in NY or Palm Beach, etc, the billionaire financiers who know quite well that we’re on thin ice.
That’s a clever analogy that’s worth developing further. Maybe it has been already, and I’m not aware of it. Thanks JR.
Now that you mention it… “Where id was, there shall ego be.” Freud as Constitutionalist. It is the missing part of the current regime—rational self-awareness. But is it the only missing part?

You ignore the nutbags at your own peril. Normal westerners have been ignoring them since the mid-60s with the result being that the shithouse rats now run the joint. The lesson in this is that you smack down civilization’s wreckers before they have a chance to reduce everything decent to cinders.
Eh, hindsight being what it is, easier said than done.
Yep, but hindsight often leads to foresight. One must learn from the mistakes of the past, or repeat them. We hope we get a chance even to repeat them. This looks unlikely.
Somebody will get the chance. Might not be us. Perhaps our children or grandchildren. May they make the most of it.
I am sure you will agree, Ostei, the passage of Jacob Javits’s Hart-Cellar immigration act in 1965 was the nuclear bomb that everyone ignored, as they basked in the self-congratulatory glow of the Civil Rights Act’s approval and saw fit to go one better, some for purposes of replacing traditional Americans. Hart-Cellar was the birth announcement heralding the arrival of the grillers as well as the stirrings of cultural Marxism, giving that other soul-crushing Marxism that wants 95% of what you earn a real run for its money.
The most destabilizing act in American history. I can’t think of anything that compares
Passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 was the financial equivalent. And now a Soviet-style body determines The Land of the Free’s interest rates and prints money with a wild abandon that would make Alexander Hamilton blush, all the while crushing the proletariat.
I loathe worn-our cliches, but . . . you can’t make this stuff up.
1913 was a very, very bad year. First, the 16th Amendment authorizing a Federal income tax meant that all those gainfully employed were now forced to pull the plow of securing the “full faith and credit” of Lincoln’s gradually awakening Leviathan, invoked in his “Second Founding” put forth in the Gettysburg Address, by means of which the Constitutional Republic was executed. There was to be a unitary State and no longer a Republic comprised of distinct States with their own agency. Hypothetically, the 9th and 10th Amendments still parsimoniously reserved agency for the States, but in such little detail that… Read more »
Let me guess. You have never actually read Hart-Cellar, have you? It’s not very long, quite a bit shorter than ZMan’s essay here, and says nothing remotely like what you seem to think it says. The problem is, was, and ever shall be that Leftist s are never content to apply any “law” as written, and de facto replace it with what they want. Which is particularly dangerous when those same Leftists are TPTB. There’s no reason you have to have an informed opinion. Plenty of those out there, so you are in good company.

I confess to not having read it. I’m used to congressional acts being thousands of pages long, written in legalese. Maybe things were different ib the ’60s and maybe I should give it a go. But the effect seems to be conclusively transformational. Or would you disagree?
Of course “it” was transformational. But for the same exact reason as every new BATFE regulation issued that is supposedly covered by NFA ’34 and GCA ’68, or the Clean Air Act applies to CO2, or the Clean Water Act applies to the puddles in your back yard after a rainstorm. The bureaucracy and judiciary pervert the plain meaning of the language into something that fits their agenda. And CONservatives then were no more effective than CONservatives now.

It abolished the National Origins Formula, Steve, which had successfully promoted European immigration for decades, thus opening the door, whether then or later, for Third World hordes. People a lot smarter than you and me figured this out in 1965, including my mother, a beautiful 26-year-old housewife and Goldwater supporter in a rural town, whose razor-sharp intellect and political instincts picked up on the implications despite the unicorns and pink confetti spin I’m sure the CIA-controlled media put on the abomination.
I know that was argued, even while the bill was under consideration. But there were roughly 4 million live births at the time, and even if every visa authorized by H-C when to people from the same 3rd world country, and all of them were granted citizenship, that’s a mere 4% of the population growth. And remember, visas, not citizenship. The Democrats were correct that would have a negligible effect. Of course, that was before native birth rates halved… H-C was not to blame. If you want to place blame, I’d split it between relaxation of citizenship standards and elimination… Read more »
Yes, it was argued. And those who argued it were correct as to what it would lead to. White womyn refusing to have children was jet fuel to the current demographics nightmare, and probably quite the pleasant surprise to the powers behind the Hart-Cellar throne.
Bang on, SAGEB. Fat Man and Little Boy were firecrackers compared to Hart-Cellar and the so-called “civil rights” movement.
In hindsight, the 60s hippies were RIGHT about 2 things, which are basically the same thing:
1) MIC is very, *very* real. Fucking ‘Nam killed a lot of good boys for nothing.
2) Advertising and TV programming are total, utter, premeditated brainwashing.
It’s not us they’re targeting with all those ads of miscegenated couples. It’s the kids who are soaking it in.
Advertising in 1963 brainwashed houswives into buying Palmolive. Advertising in 2023 brainwashes white girls into copulating with baboons. There’s a difference.
Things are definitely far, far worse now
No, it was far more than that from the beginning. See Edward bernays in “civilization of the self “
I’ve seen tons of old TV and magazine ads, and in terms of pernicious propaganda they’re not even in the same cosmos as what’s produced today.
The hippies don’t get as much credit as you think. Remember, it was Eisenhower, a West Point grad and a career officer who told us to “beware of the military-industrial complex” and refused to get us into Vietnam.
Interesting historical factoid: Every general who became president served two terms with no wars — Washington, Jackson, Grant, Eisenhower.
But nearly every major war we have been in (Civil War, World War I, World War II, and Vietnam) the commanders-in-chief (Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, Johnson) had zero or little military experience.

“Joe Biden is the most popular man in the history of the United States.”
No need to dig deeper than that statement.
Also, don’t forget Biden made a statement during the campaign about building the “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics”. Did he ever retract?
Anytime I’m asked about the election I say some variation of this, usually mentioning that he’s even more popular than obama. I say this in the most deadpan way possible & I’ve done this many times now.

“The Regime will drop a nuclear bomb on a mid-size Southern city to show it means business.”
Been in a ‘Southern’ city lately? That would, at this point, just incinerate Africans, dot-heads, Mexicans and associated Latinx and outlander white leftist locusts.
Well, since you ask, I live in a beautiful mid-size Southern city that is not at all as you describe, although I’m told we are one city councilor away from going woke.
Illegals as LEOs is already in the works. Why bother with nukes when the police chief, DA, and mayor are all “proudly undocumented”. Should make for some interesting refractions through the Overton window.
The horrible thing is that it actually seems plausible in the not too distant future. Maybe a tactical nuke, just to be “moderate.”
What will probably happen: When the suburbs burb because of diversity, the white suburbs beg the government (the one that caused the problem) to protect them. Token protection will be afforded. Whitey will cling to this and beg for more. When the bellies rumble, the whites will be forced to comply with new rules in order to receive a weekly ration. This will appeal to the soft authoritarianism of our elites (e.g. You don’t have to get your daily covid vaccine or worship at the altar of diversity, but you will not get food). Blacks will be directed to the… Read more »
I’ve no doubt that this is how the regime would *like* to see things go down, but expectations and reality rarely make the acquaintance of each other.
True. But that’s a plethora of conditions. No guarantee they’ll all occur simultaneously.
Normie was around in 1776, too. Even had people fleeing to Canada.
A lot of thought about how things can be insane and yet not explode. Best I can come up with is there’s no rival elite. Factions within the elite, sure, but they don’t disagree enough for revolutionary potential— the will to separate just isn’t there.
I’ve been hearing about imminent hyperinflation for like 40 years. I’m not saying it’s not possible or that it will never happen, but predicting hyperinflation in 18 months does not have a very accurate history.
Also, from what I understand, there are a ton of deflationary forces pent up in the system. The bank runs earlier this year being a prime example.
What is hyperinflation? 50%, 100%, more? At least two thirds of the working population live paycheck to paycheck. 5 years of say 10% will sink most everybody. That, and consider that those inflation numbers are already massaged as to their effect on the common man in the street. We don’t need hyperinflation ala Argentina when we are in a debt/death spiral even today. The populace is not the same as during the Great Depression. They will not set up camps and make due while they wait it out.
Compsci: “At least two thirds of the working population live paycheck to paycheck.”

Private renting is making you age faster

The thing is, AFAIK, all the debt defaults are deflationary. Every debt is recorded as an asset on someone’s books. The process of debt default is self-reinforcing, again, AFAIK. When one person has someone else’ debt as an asset, when that debt is defaulted, his asset goes down or disappears and so any debt he has is harder to service and goes in default causing the next debt default by his creditors. We’ve had 80 plus years of inflation largely by issuing debt. If the US were to default on its debt, there would be a worldwide shortage of Dollars… Read more »
Dude, I have no idea how this will work out. I do not believe anyone does. But I would also point out that the buying power of the currency goes down as debt based on that currency (and derived from that currency) defaults.
I think you’ve got it, but I’m dumb about this stuff, because I don’t understand infinite debt. Money printer go BRRR causes inflation. Writing off debt causes deflation. Deflation will come when debt becomes unserviceable.
My understanding is limited as well—as Citizen often reminds me. I simply look at prices I pay in the marketplace, have bit of understanding of how good I have it (and therefore how bad others have it) and extrapolate from there. I’ve heard deflation is more feared than inflation, but what do I know. Inflation seems for the common person with little reserves to definitely be a killer. I’ve also been told that many are surviving in a fools paradise vis a vis credit card use. In any event, when folks are dead broke and are desperate, they become pawns.… Read more »
There is a fly in the ointment. While that particular transaction would be deflationary, whatever debt service the former debt-holder was paying will now be inflationary, unless he stuffs the cash under his mattress.
We have enough evidence from CoVid that it’s pretty unlikely all that cash will just stay out of circulation.
Forbes defines hyperinflation as greater than 14% per annum. And its the sustained compounding over several years that kills you. You can’t grow your way out of a crisis when inflation gets this high. Default becomes inevitable because of the sheer size of our sovereign debt. Some economists believe that you can weather this storm with a CBDC and raiding 401Ks, but the models predict a major societal upheaval before that could ever get off the ground. Start a garden as soon as you can.
Inflation (at least moderate inflation) favors debtors. You pay off debt with increasingly less valuable money. Deflation does the opposite. You pay back debt with increasingly valuable money. The old 19th century gold standard days were deflationary, with several depressions (called panics in those days) because of a shortage of currency. New gold strikes would temporarily relieve the shortage but then it was back to deflation. Eventually, the economic seesaw became too much even for the creditor class and we got the Federal Reserve System, with the creditor class in charge of the new inflationary system, which was always available… Read more »
Hey, but “the models all say”! :rolleyes:
Since I was a child I have heard the following refrain, “there is no revolution until people are starving. As long as they have plenty of food and comfort nobody’s going to attack the status quo.” It was accepted as truth, maybe it’s not, but it appears that we are going to experimentally find out.
That is true. Since we now have no more transcendent motivation above that of lessor animals, we will be placated if given the bare survival necessitates.
Will we? That seems like a sort of perverse optimism.
TomA, you tease us with talk about models and what they demonstrate, but you never put out. What models?
TomA’s consistent message seems to be tribe up, build local communities, prepare for hard times. I think he’s right
I think he’s right too and I always look forward to reading his comments here. But as the other poster asked, what are these models he keeps bringing up?
Very fair question
Yes. I managed to hoist that in the 987th time he said it.
He does stay on point about that lol
Jacquelyn Smith, Rebecca Romijn, Salma Hayek and Twiggy. Great economic minds, one and all. Especially Hayek…
There are many models which have been developed and are currently being utilized by both public and private entities; including dozens within the Federal Government alone. Some are specialized, but a large and growing cohort are macro-scale and, as with Chat GPT and Gemini, draw upon enormous Federal and State resources augmented by internet-scavenged databases. Universities have also been engaged in a significant way since the early 1980s. And this reality has been repeated within most countries on the planet; China in particular is a huge player and benefits from a large and relatively homogeneous population resource to model.

> In many of these cases, the judge, as a part of the punishment, makes the accused say in open court that he now believes Biden won fair and square. This is the sickest part of all. It’s nothing new either. People going to jail have often said how sorry they were they killed, robbed, etc. someone to get a more lenient sentence. A lot of times, it will come back later these people were totally innocent. There’s no reason why a sentence’s severity should depend on a public admittance of guilt and the entire humiliation ritual associated with it.… Read more »

“I have always loved Big Brother.”
St. Orwell saw it all.
Like the thief who’s not sorry he stole, but he’s very very sorry he got caught.
And another thing–the deeply butt hurt will spend a lifetime tracking down the ones they imagined hurt them and making sure they are punished, to wit, the Israeli squads kidnapping 90 year old ex nazi’s in Argentina for show trials in Tel Aviv.
If it weren’t for the fact that guns were available to both sides, the image of Israel “pogromming” Gaza would be funny, I wonder if they can perceive the irony?
Short answer, no they can’t see irony.
The commentariat over at the very Jewish/shabbos goy smalldeadanimals blog is currently demanding the nuclear holocaust of the entire Middle East beyond Israel’s borders.
“It’s just for the judge and prosecutor getting off on destroying someone, not justice.”
Personal experience has led to the conclusion that in your typical litigious dynamic (prosecutor/plaintiff attorney, defense attorney, judge) there is at least one person there (can be any of the players) who is going to get off on twisting a knife when it is totally unneeded and throw some sort of personal vendetta into the process when its completely unnecessary. So yes, absolutely correct.
Hell, you can’t even get parole without a convincing admission of guilt to the Parol Board. That you are “reformed” (whatever that means) is not qualification enough.
Yep, “you must love Big Brother”.
It’s about public humiliation which is a reprehensible objective. But our “honorable” enemies supporting the regime really are reprehensible so consistent if nothing else
Our system isn’t designed to prove innocence. Not guilty just means the state failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt 1. “Lots of times … totally innocent” is just an absurd remark. The statistics to support such a claim don’t exist. 2. When a defendant is found guilty, the prosecutor cannot argue that he or she should be punished more severely for exercising the Constitutional right to a trial; so instead, they argue a lack of remorse that indicates the defendant is incapable of reform. It’s the defendants who whine and grovel and minimize their behavior by appealing… Read more »
The old Chinese proverb – “Kill the chicken to frighten the monkey” – applies here. This is just ritual intimidation of opponents. I think it says a lot about the increasingly totalitarian tactics of the people in charge. So what has changed? Well, the Government is now a gigantic global enterprise. The insiders are getting really rich – Wall Street type rich – on the spoils. There’s way more money to fight over. Truman/Dewey, Kennedy/Nixon and even Bush/Gore election trickery could be settled by the Uniparty under the Marquis of Queensbury rules. We’re now way beyond all that – it’s… Read more »

The thing about the overreaction to J6 that always struck me as odd is how obviously most of the people involved in the riot were just harmless clowns and cranks, and yet the Establishment was trying to gaslight us into thinking it was an “insurrection” to “overthrow the government” and hunted these people down and prosecuted them accordingly. In fact, the only shot that was fired was fired by the Negro cop when he killed the unarmed white Ashli Babbit. Yes, there were a handful of people who caused property damage and should have been arrested for that, but most… Read more »
> A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a former Republican candidate for Michigan governor to two months behind bars for joining a mob’s Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, where he riled up other rioters and ripped a tarp outside the building.
He ripped a tarp, A TARP!

It was a very inclusive antiracist tarp
Like those who went all in for Covid, you can easily tell the political persuasion of the person by saying this in conversation: “I think they’ll put Trump in jail…” and you immediately get an “I hope so!” in interjection. Try it out!
And those very same “people” are floating trial balloons for forgiveness for their throwing people out of jobs, and otherwise destroying the lives of their gleefully persecuted victims for the sins of not accepting their crimes against the Jab Autocracy. Hey, “We overreacted”, they say, “but we meant well”, as if they should get a pass.
I wouldn’t call it an overreaction to J6. More like the continuing ongoing overreaction to 2016.
“… always struck me as odd is how obviously most of the people involved in the riot were just harmless clowns…” As they say, “that’s not a bug, but a feature”. If you want to intimidate Joe Normie, you don’t pick on his elites or weirdos. You pick on other Joe Normies. The more like the man in the street the better. The warning is clear.

” and yet the Establishment was trying to gaslight us into thinking it was an “insurrection” to “overthrow the government” and hunted these people down and prosecuted them accordingly.”
The propaganda works. I have a friend who is a solid productive and intelligent man, with generally sound opinions. He thinks Jan 6 was a near fatal attack on the foundations of the United States. He is convinced the mob was armed. Too much TV, I guess…
Lose that idiot as a friend. I call my own family members brain dead for believing regime propaganda.
A key aim of the Deep State was to drown out the REAL insurrection: Nov 2020
These people are drunk on power and simultaneously scared to death their farcical system is about to collapse. It emerged over the weekend that Uncle Lloyd Austin of the Deepartmin’ of De-fence threatened senators in a closed-door meeting that he would ship their sons, brothers and cousins to die in a war with Russia unless they shipped $60 billion to “Ukraine.” Ol’ marse Ray-fee-on is a hungry god. Simultaneously, Republicans want to increase warrantless spying on their voters because they might have bad thoughts about the people they elect. The Regime rules by raw force now and will continue to… Read more »
But not their daughters or sisters? Guess he wasn’t serious.

Kinda, sorta related – A j-whore-nalist named Ian Vandaelle said this a while back:
“Take the jab or resign; anything else is moral and ethical cowardice. You take an oath to protect citizens? You get vaxxed. Shameful that we have to say this.”
I’ll give you two guesses as to what happened to him, and the first is free.
“Died suddenly”
It’s not all bad news all the time.
Hmmm…quick google gave a few tidbits. Judging by Google News, which gives no mention of his death, Mr. Vandaelle was doing his thing (business journalism) as recently as one month past. By late November he was in hospice for unspecified reasons and a few weeks later, dead. Happens all the time to 33-year-old men. Nothing to see here folks, please move along.
If there is justice, it will have been a jab-induced turbo-cancer that did for this sententious, self-absorbed prick.
I also sense that “regime awareness”, the realization that the system is increasingly illegitimate, is slowly going mainstream. And the regime may also sense that, adding fuel to their paranoia. The first faint scent of their blood is enticing. If their fears are justified it shall be a White Xmas indeed
I think they ran Bernie and Trump in 2016 to see how much the Obama Magic was still working. The Democrats shived Bernie with ease, Trump was the golem that broke loose. The kind of person who even if he knew it was a joke, could sense the energy and tried to hijack it. Everything the two of them talked about in 2016 had been building since 2008. It was almost like Trump had been reading everything i had since 2008 and made that his platform. Did i i think he would actually do any of it? Hell no, but… Read more »
Was Trump ’16 their idea?? Possibly but not my impression. I think they couldn’t take him seriously at first
Nah, he’s the perfect heel.

Those who push him forward know their audience.
They wouldn’t be so completely deranged about him if he was a creature of the regime.
“Everything the two of them talked about” had been building since 1860, when Jeffersonian Democrats were shown the door, clutching the Constitution.
Ron DeSantis, for all his cuckiness, used the word “regime” a few months back. Regime awareness is definitely going mainstream. A big whitepill for me is that all the censorship from 2017 to 2022 has not killed the New Right or Dissident Right. As predicted, the censorship has only made it stronger and sharper. And the people who pushed through are getting traction again, thanks to Gab and Rumble and Elon, even still YouTube, and are apparently moving the political class as you see with Blake Masters, Matt Gaetz, Thomas Massie, and King Cobra. Not a whole lot of people… Read more »
Dissidence will be a booming enterprise going forward. Regime toppling is not entirely out of the question. But risky, especially for first movers
There is a solid right-wing movement afoot that celebrates the “alpha” or the Chad. Almost every young RW influencer (hell, almost every centrist Roganeque influencer) has got to have muscle mass to be taken seriously. Even the religious right. Homesteading, fighting, and butchering hogs is cool now. And fighting against “the man” has always been cool. Luckily for us, “the man” is the Left in general.
Our Caesar will come, maybe in our lifetime.
As TomA might say, be alert for opportunities. Perhaps the occasional grain of sand or flake of snow that when slightly jarred creates an avalanche.
The two greatest ironies of the 2020 election are to be found in the contradictory behaviors of the adherents to the respective parties. As Z points out, Democrats who say the election was the cleanest and most legitimate election ever keep returning to the subject like an arsonist to the site of a burned-out building. Meanwhile, Republicans who claim the election was obviously stolen—most notably Trump himself—are innocently looking forward to the next election as if they had every chance of winning, although states (even Republican-controlled ones) have done almost nothing to shore up confidence in the system.
The show must go on. But it is useful to illustrate that while the perpetual anti-reality machine is most certainly not self-sustaining, there remains a very real part of anti-reality that we must contend with. My wife may feel very strongly about something. That something may not exist or it may in some fraction, but what exists without a doubt is that she feels. Even more so, often it is “not about the nail”. But these thoughts and feelings are real as they manifest in our shared reality. And so “her reality” becomes in some part “my reality” to deal… Read more »
Yes. The propaganda has worked and it manifests in many ways subtle and unsubtle. It seems to me though that because they have used it so much in the last few years the formula is becoming weaker. This is a slow process though. We see evidence of this with the attempt to start the war with Iran. Many, at least more than previously, see this for what it is, the use of Israel being attacked to try and start their much desired war in the middle east. The most advanced and less influenced see that the whole thing was set… Read more »
Great comment. Conservatives sincerely believe that this time will be different and the Dems are suddenly going to grow honest.
Paranoically stealing an election is so 2020. But does the regime really think they can imprison Trump (or worse) and actually get away with it? Sadly, based on the scamdemic trial run, most likely yes. Is there a bridge too far, even for White Americans? I guess we may see, but I’m not holding my breath…
Change is now gradual. Suddenly it will be sudden. They are afraid and maybe they have reason to be
It is definitely afraid…now they have resurrected Hilary to lead the zombie parade…Who’s next?
Not to sound sadistic but I enjoy their fear
By all means, let’s be sadistic.
unNthem – the regime thinks persecuting Trump harder will win the hearts and minds of the bad guys – kinda’ like the neo-cons think voting harder will win the hearts and minds of the other bad guys. I suspect neither is correct (and any interruption of normal breathing is futile).
“The Deplorables will view us as liberators!”
“ Is there a bridge too far, even for White Americans?” They’ve got that covered as well. Boomers (77M cohort) are gone in twenty years. Until then, there is open borders. Latest from one sector, my sector, the Tucson sector: Influx rate—just here, *one* sector—1M per year current rate. Tucson and the surrounding urban area is itself about one million residents.

They may appear to get away with it, but like most bloody revolutions, the real trigger will be something no-one expected. Look at Ceaucescu. He was making his usual speech and suddenly a few guys at the back started hurling insults. The rest is history. The psychopaths are really rubbing our noses in it right now, and there is almost certainly going to be some spark that sets things off.
Stochastic terrorism holds that if some act is attributed to speech—a song, a movie, whatever—the speaker can be held accountable for the actions of the perpetrator. Because it also includes a clause for “coded language,” we can rightfully assume that Paul McCartney should be behind bars. Sure, when he wrote Helter Skelter, he supposedly intended it to be about a tilt-a-whirl ride at the fairgrounds. But Charles Manson saw through the façade—the code, in the language of the song—and realized it was actually about a race war that he would initiate by killing some celebrities and blaming the Black Panthers… Read more »
Other “obvious fraud” cues:
1. Taking days, or weeks to count ballots.
2. Having voting systems that are literally non auditable by design.
Japan went back to paper ballots because of this. They have results the same day, and can repeat the counted results in short order, over and over again.
(The real crime isn’t the mechanics of voting though; it’s the mass collusion between government and media.)
Voting in America is just stupid.
The real crime isn’t the mechanics of voting though; it’s the mass collusion between government and media.

Reminds me how I’ve brought before how secure Australia’s elections are (paper ballots, counted on camera and verified on-site by multiple parties), and yet they may have kookiest politicians in the Anglosphere. The strange thing indeed is why the regime even feels compelled at all to steal elections when process is cooked from beginning to end anyway.

Tucker, after Trump’s election, liked to go into his “anything is possible in this timeline,” spiel. Whenever I encounter eyerolls or get the conspiracy theory treatment, I like to remind the supposedly sober-minded prog (it is to laugh) that we discovered a wealthy member of the ruling class had a private island where he was intent on creating some kind of Island of Dr. Moreau-like super-race by broadcasting his seed to underage girls.
