A feature of this age is that we are regularly presented with unusual events and then presented with an official explanation that is stranger than the event itself or given no explanation at all for what happened. In fact, you could describe the Trump era as a series of unexplained phenomena that either come with no official explanation or one so ridiculous no one accepts it. Trump is like a modern-day wizard in that his mere existence creates unexplainable happenings.
In this age of mass communications, we are more likely to experience rare events, because those rare events get blasted around the internet by people looking to profit from them, so that is part of it. On the other hand, the same technology regularizes rarity, so rare events should be less frequent. Just as soon as people start to notice some bit of weirdness, the authorities can flood the information space with a plausible explanation, so it is not just a feature of mass media.
For example, this summer a young man managed to get on the roof of the only building near a Trump rally and take shots at Trump. He did this despite Trump allegedly having the best personal security available to an American. For some reason, none of these crack security guys thought it was a good idea to guard the roof. Not only that, but they were also in the building and somehow managed to not hear a man walking around on the metal roof above their heads.
Just that bit of the story is explainable as incompetence. We live in the age of increasing incompetence, especially with the managerial class. Then we learn that the shooter, who was killed on the scene, is the only young person on planet earth without an extensive internet profile. He also happens to be a kid from a tiny town in flyover country that was in a Black Rock ad. Now we learn that an off-duty ATF agent in a suit was there taking pics of the corpse.
Any one of those points are farfetched at face value, but the lack of any explanation from the government makes the whole thing a one in a billion event. At least it should be, but now we have another one to pair with it. Last week we got Ryan Routh crawling around Trump’s golf course with a rifle. How he got there and how he knew Trump would decide to get in a round of golf that day is a mystery. Like the first assassination attempt, this one makes no sense on the surface.
To date, no one has bothered to explain how this penniless kook managed to travel around the world supporting Ukraine. No one has explained how he got to Florida and how he acquired the rifle. He is a resident of Hawaii, so he would not be able to buy a gun in the lower forty-eight. Why did he drop off a box of ammo containing a written confession to an associate months prior? Who was funding this guy and how did he end up in the bushes outside Trump’s golf course?
No one knows and the government is not talking. The same people who cannot shut up about disinformation and misinformation are perfectly happy to let speculation run wild on these two bizarre events. It is possible they do not know. Maybe they are as stumped as everyone else. They could just say they are as baffled as everyone else, but instead they now claim that Iranian hit squads are roaming the country looking for their chance to take out Donald Trump.
To make the Iranian stuff fit in with the bizarreness of the two assassination attempts, the secret police posted this story in their media outlet claiming Trump is nuts to think the Iranians are out to get him. Then in another media outlet, the secret police say they warned Trump about the Iranian assassination attempts. The one thing we know is that everything in the media about the government is written by the government, so why do we have these two conflicting reports from the government?
The general weirdness of these stories and the even stranger handling of them by the regime is not the main topic of conversation because they are not unique. They are part of a general pattern that has become the new normal. We still have no plausible explanation for the pipe bomb story the FBI put out during the election integrity protests of January 6, 2021. All we know for sure is someone planted them while the local police looked on from their marked police vehicles.
In fairness, that is not the only thing we know about the events that day. We have also learned that the Justice Department has been stonewalling investigations into what actually happened on that day. We know this because Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified to it this week. In fact, he volunteered it and promised to keep stonewalling until after the election. The strangest thing about this admission is that no one seemed surprised.
You could probably write a book detailing the bizarre occurrences we have seen over the last ten years since Trump arrived. You would not have to offer an explanation or a conspiracy theory to any of them. Just provide the known facts and maybe a few blank pages for official explanations. That really is the remarkable bit about what has been happening since Trump came down the escalator. It is not the explosion of anomalies, but the silence from official sources.
What this suggests is that maybe there is no general conspiracy at work, but rather a breakdown of control at the top. The reason no one can explain how in the hell that kid got on the roof of that building in Pennsylvania is no one in the regime really knows for sure who is working which caper. In other words, it is not a desperate effort to maintain control by the people at the top, but a breakdown of their own internal control mechanisms leading to seemingly random rogue behavior.

None of the stories we’ve been told since the year 2000 have been the truth. 9/11, iraq, Afghanistan, 2008, Syria, Ukraine, Covid, Vegas shooter (and that one is a doozy, i’ve heard a hit was out on MBS and shooting up the concert was to cover up the failure) the airliner shotdown over Ukraine (prob first attempt to start the war). Anyone who believes the offical explanation to those stories has shown themselves to be your enemy 😉
And if you want to go back further, don’t forget how iraqi soldiers were tossing babies out of incubators before the first iraq war:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony
Gulf of tonkin, lusitania and on and on and on
If you think the lying started with the 2000s or even the 1990s then you are a dangerously gullible person who needs to start doing research and critical thinking.
Well they used to do a much better job of it, witness the destruction of OKC Federal Building: such conspiracies can hide in a forest of high(er) social trust and capabilities. For stuff like the Vegas shooting and Epstein murdercide it’s like they didn’t even try, even though social trust is at a point where they really should be trying even harder to keep the ship tight.
They seem close to through with pretense.
It’s all a product of the internet. Millenials don’t know a time when information was no more than a mouse-click away. If you were a sufficiently tech-savvy X, you could get access to non-Pravda news and opinion through BBSs. And from Millenials on, it’s a firehose you can’t not drink from.
Government is lies. It’s the only way that kind of business model works.
Illsa – you used to be a much better liar, Sam…
Remember the Maine!
Hell, I think the fall of the Roman Empire is a put-on, and that Romulus Augustulus is right now sipping a mai tai on Epstein Island with Elvis, Billy the Kid and St. George Floyd.
If that be the case, that Gibbon guy sure had a whopper of a tale to tell – at least as far as the Empire was concerned.
#LindisfarneWasAnInsideJob
“Babies out of incubators” was an easy story to debunk, but wasn’t at the time by most MSM. I know I was immediately enraged until it was pointed out that it was the Kuwaiti ambassador’s daughter doing the testimony and it was easy to find out she lived with her father in DC during the invasion. However, the part of the whole story that is really meaningful is that this was a show put on by Congress to gin up support for a war they wanted. Most all these committee “hearings” are show for the public rubes watching. These committee… Read more »
I’ve been in a small rabbit hole of early 1991 sporting events the past couple days and it’s almost astounding how amped up everyone was for Desert Storm. My goodness, textbooks could be written about how effectively the public was mobilized to support that war. And then Bush’s approval rating was an inconceivable 90% at war’s end? That alone should have made any observant person a little uncomfortable.
You don’t remember Iraq war trading cards? Showing my age
It was the 90’s and we were all tossing babies out of incubators then. Planned Parenthood came along and said “hold my beer.”
The memory-holing of the Vegas incident is the one that sticks out in my mind.
The truth of that incident must be hugely damaging to the Feds.
Otherwise, you know they’d be using Vegas as a moral cudgel to bludgeon us into further gun control and confiscation.
Well MBS did purge half the house of Saud after the vegas shooting, so i give that one some plausibility
Yes. MBS purged all of the Western intelligence assets he could uncover.
Yeah, Las Vegas was an eye opener to a stodgy old fart like me who usually makes fun of conspiracy junk and “The Plan”. Videos I saw and the audio I heard my instinct swore there were 240b’s roaring off.
There was…
There is (at least) one other possible motive for why details of that would be kept quiet: The interests who own the casinos. It would be very bad for business if people thought about mass shootings when they thought about Vegas, so that’s a motive for them to want the whole thing to go away. In addition to protecting themselves from lawsuits by squelching information as much as possible. And these people have a LOT of political pull.
The casinos run Vegas and they routinely bury stories. Talk to anyone from Vegas and that’s an accepted fact.

Like this
Stories aren’t the only things they bury…
The obvious cover-up of the Vegas shooting is a true mindfuck. I’ve never seen a really plausible explanation offered.
I haven’t even heard any non-plausible explanations. Pulling Ellen in on the damage control was beyond ridiculous.
Ahh but even if you knew the truth of that and all the rest of the things the government lied to us about what good would it do you besides of course drive you even more nuts that people couldn’t see what is happening…
I’ve decided they deliberately choose not to see. That’s beyond apathy and into the realm of complicity. Makes it easier on them, I guess. The same with transparent propaganda. They want to believe it.
“I’ve never seen a really plausible explanation offered.”
To be fair, what (logical) explanation can be given for the behavior of the insane? Not that we know this person was insane, per se, but any number of occurrences of weird events in a country our size can be expected (if that’s the right terminology).
In a society of lies, skepticism should be the rule of the day I agree for any officially reported event.
To be fair, what (logical) explanation can be given for the behavior of the insane?
Fair point, but was there any evidence of madness offered outside of the act itself? I may have missed it, but there seems to have been a studied lack of curiosity about the shooter’s background. I can’t even recall his name off the top of my head, which goes to that point.
All i ever heard was potential CIA connections and gun runner. I think the MBS hit makes the most sense based on what happened after. Our relations with them have really soured since and he’s been cozying up with the BRICS. Prob why they wanted to get rid of him.
We’ll never get an explanation, but we have victimology (in the criminological sense). We know who was killed: country music festivalgoers. We know who they are, and we know who wants them dead.
Maybe 2017 was too soon for news that law-enforcement-affiliated leftists are mass murdering “chuds” because the media told them to.
Maybe 2025 is not.
I always thought the Las Vegas country/western concert and the shooting at the church around the same time was Hillary’s revenge on people considered to be Trump supporters? To make her feel better or something.
Funny how the “alleged” shooter’s home — a “professional gambler, LOL — was “burglarized” after the Feds searched it.
Hey, shit happens, ya know.
And his GF split for the PI. And the security guard went to Mexico. And his brother got charged with kiddie pr0n…
What was that airliner that exploded off the coast of northern New Jersey in ’95 or ’96? I’m still scratching my cabeza over that one. No satisfactory explanation has been offered, AFAIC.
800?
Somebody’s pager went off and they went a little heavy on the explosives…
TWA 800.
During that time Rush Limbaugh assured us that the FBI guy in charge of the TWA 800 investigation was a true blue honorable man.
Of course he was.
Interestingly, that flight marked the last time a commercial carrier served up a lunch of bean burritos and corn and bean salsa.
Ha ha ha.
And wasn’t the ban on in-flight smoking instituted at that time? A lethal combo, bean-luncheons and postprandial stogies.
But there is an “official” conclusion. Whether one believes such or not is another story. Here it is (and no, I’m not that smart, I simply used ChatGPT here}: ”… Key findings included: 1. Fuel Vapors: The center wing fuel tank, which was mostly empty except for residual jet fuel, contained flammable vapors. Due to warm temperatures and the heat generated by air conditioning units located beneath the tank, these vapors became highly volatile. 2. Electrical Malfunction: A short circuit in the wiring outside the tank is believed to have sent a surge of electricity to the fuel quantity indication… Read more »
I have no solution myself.
Even if you did Brother no one would listen as I have found out…
Until pain is bad enough no one will sacrifice anything even if it’s for their benefit…
There was another answer at the time. All kinds of controversy about a navy missile shooting it down. Long story.
If true would it have been better for Clinton to have owned up to such a catastrophic error? We are so good we just shot down one of our flag carriers 747’s.
they kind of let the truth out for a day way back when and then everyone let it go. As they say..,shit happens.
It has been a wild stretch once-big-now-discredited. Enron, Arthur Andersen, the VA.
Denny Hastert, Dan Rather, Brian Williams, Bill Cosby, Subway Jared, Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Louis C.K. to name a few.
To top it all off, in 2000 almost all grassroots voters supported the Clintons and Bushes uniformly, but now only a small percentage of each base like either, because Dems concede that the Clintons were rotten and Republicans concede the Bushes were a bad joke.
They still haven’t declassified the lead-up to the Pearl Harbor Harbor Attack. We had broken the codes the Japs were using long before that, and listening to every communique they sent out. They know if they release this, every history book about our involvement in World War II will have to be thrown out and rewritten.
At this point even regime narrators tacitly admit the U.S. knew in advance.
They’ve known for over 30 years. And now they’re throwing away their blackmail system and all of the bad characters with it. They must be very desperate to go to these extremes.
That’s why they went after that guy Cooper who sat down with Tucker Carlson & why they destroyed historian David Irving; thou shall not question official narrative!
When the Cloud People start getting indignant and especially nasty, then whoever is stirring up the kettle should realize that they are right over the target.
LOL. What did Cooper say about Roosevelt? Did he mention that the US tried to force the UK into war,that the US helped fund the group behind Churchill?
Did he state that Chamberlain said Roosevelt proposed to him on the eve of Munich that the UK declare war on Germany and then the US would follow?
He did none of that: Cooper tries to dump all the responsibility on Churchill and claim naive FDR was bamboozled by the British aristocrat. Cooper and Carlson still believe in the GAE but just think it’s gotten a little out of hand.
I’ve heard rumors FDRs family fortune came from the Opium trade.
Let’s take it one step further. Roosevelt is basically the same as the German (or Yiddish), Rosenfeld. There sure were a lot of (((them))) in the Low Country, and as a cosmopolitan bunch, nationalities and borders had little meaning. Silent investors in the Opium Trade, and therefore less identifiable? Why not? And recall that the (((leaders))) of the Opium Trade were Great British in nationality, and all of that silver flowing out of China did a lot to address the British trade imbalance with the Chinese (Great Britain being a major theater of operation for the tribe, too). The British… Read more »
You are mistaking the Japanese diplomatic codes (Purple), which were broken, with the Japanese Navy’s code (JN-25) which was not broken until 1942. At no point did the Japanese Navy inform the Japanese diplomats, in any code, what they were up to with respect to Pearl Harbor, because that’s not how the IJN rolled. Besides, even if that were true, the Navy, by direction of “Wheels” Roosevelt himself, sent out a dispatch to the commanders at Pearl on November 27 that specifically said, in clear English, with no possible confusion of meaning- “This dispatch is to be considered a war… Read more »
I have come to believe that the truth about this stuff will not be revealed in my lifetime, if ever (I am an old guy). There is still stuff coming out about WWII and plenty of WWII secrets are still classified after eighty years.
I’ve never been a “conspiracy theorist.” I don’t believe in Bigfoot or UFOs or aliens at Area 51. However, actual conspiracies DO exist. The Treaty of London in which the British and the French secretly agreed to cede Austro-Hungarian territory to Italy in exchange for her joining the Allies is one example. The Sykes-Picot deal in which they agreed to divvy up the Levant is another example. Deep Throat turned out to be Mark Felt, who was an actual Deep Stater trying to backstab Nixon for not appointing him Director of the FBI. Governments do this kind of underhanded shit… Read more »
I can’t say I know much about the reason behind the guys trying to take out Trump, but the plandemic certainly had orders coming from the top. When a trusted friend, who’s a policeman, tells me he has orders to mark every death down as caused by “covid,” and another friend who’s a doctor, also suddenly has strange, strict orders, and all of the other evidence we’ve all seen with our own eyes, you realize the elite can easily run a far-reaching conspiracy.
all it takes is control of money
My 92 year old father died in 2022 and on his death certificate Covid was listed as cause. The data is bogus
Many such cases.
In May, 2020, my next-door-neighbor’s tabby got mowed down in the street by a bus. The vet established Covid as the cause of death…
The data was profitable that way and that was all that mattered to them…
I had two doctors I saw regularly leave the profession after Covid. Both of them saw me during the “pandemic” for unrelated concerns and spent most of the appointment time coercing me to get the jab. Both acted uncharacteristically cloying and fake, and one lost his temper and started describing in graphic terms what would happen to my lungs if I got Covid. I had the creepy feeling both times that they were acting, and that there was no purpose in arguing with them or asserting myself. I simply said no thank you, doctor. And as I say, both quit… Read more »
Glad you stood firm Brother especially when you didn’t have any support IRL…
the utility of the Iranian assassins story is pretty straightforward: It allows them to use professionals. Currently, they have to use a collection of retards who find ways to fail at the assignment. You have to feel bad for them, they get one of their retards to within 140 yards of Trump and the loser finds a way to miss. They get another one on the exact golf course at the exact time – this one is smart enough to camp out for 12 hours, but is stupid enough to stick the barrel of the crappiest SKS ever seen out… Read more »
Also gives them an excuse to bomb Iran
Remember when the Iraqis were supposedly trying to kill G.H.W. Bush?? And then Dubya said “They were tryin’ ta kill muh dad…” and Iraq ended up getting bombed.
Not sure if the Iraq assassination plot was real or fake…
There was also a story about a foiled plot by Iran to kill a bunch of people in DC some years ago. Probably also BS
“Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran”…one of the Beach Boys’ lesser known works.
Yeah… Routh allegedly had the scope affixed to his SKS with electrical tape, LOL…
Hey, man, southern ingenuity. (He was originally from North Carolina.)
If that was really his rifle, and Trump really would have been within 50 yards, iron sights would have been more than enough. If he had been using a bolt action .270, instead of that stupid kluged 30-round, he likely would have gone undetected, and this story comes out completely different.
Serious assassins probably don’t bring a GoPro on their assignment. I’ve speculated n the July case) that a crucial flaw is that no professional assassin would ever take such an assignment, under the very rational fear he’d be caught and/or killed, which is precisely what the two cases this year obtained. On the other hand, there are plenty of mentally unstable nuts running around. We don’t (or at least I don’t) know much about the July Guy, who seems to have left few breadcrumbs, although the few he did are odd, like being in a BlackRock ad. On the other hand,… Read more »
Eight years of de Blasio craziness but now somebody has decided to pursue Eric Adams at the federal level. Adams had the audacity to complain publicly about the influx of poor foreigners burdening NYC. He gored someone’s ox. A smallhat oligarch, no doubt, but who exactly?
It may be as simple as foreign grift is reserved for the federal level and Adams cut into their grift. The timing on the cusp of a national election is interesting.
DaBears-
I actually feel as though the DC Marxists are being a little too aggressive in moving against Adams at this point.
Yes he was grumbling about the invaders, but was he really getting any traction with anyone?
I get DC wants to enforce ideological conformity, but I think this move is going to backfire on them a bit with certain constituencies.
One of Diddy’s former body guards claims that the Federal Investigations of Eric Adams and his entourage has everything to do with Diddy’s problems.
On the other hand, some have said that Diddy has kompromat recordings on Heels Up Kamala, and that the deep state is willing to throw everyone under the bus to deflect from her. Hollywood and that crap they call music hasn’t been real profitable lately, so maybe they have decided to pull the plug on it all and restart anyhow.
That fact that anybody has even heard of let alone cares about some gibbering hoodrat named “Diddy,” for cryin’ out loud, is as bizarre and disturbing as anything occurring in postmodernity.
Amen on that Brother…Sad what we have let happen and have become…
I don’t think anyone really cares about the rump ranger hood rats, but our knowledge of the extremes of his sex trafficking and God knows what else, all known to be conducted AND condoned under the all seeing eye of The Imperial State, is not disturbing or bizzare.
Nothing about that surprises me in the least. What still leaves me bumfuzzled, however, is that people with no intelligence and negative talent can become rich n’ famous in the so-called “music” industry. In other words, negrophilia combined with the utter collapse in taste is like something out of LSD tremons.
Money laundering is the answer you are searching for as well as other benefits we won’t speak of here…
Ostei: The ‘popular’ music business – including all the recording companies, producers, and radio stations – have long been run by Jews. Why they decided to transition from pushing rock to disco to rap I can’t say, but they and their money are 100% behind it.
Were 100% behind it.
While it was the labels as recently as the ’90s, Nashville is now crawling with independent producers. Atlanta, too. Little as I think of Bieber, he did show people a new way to get into the biz.
There’s recordings of producers saying they preferred untalented dupes because they were easier to control, much as some producers required ‘casting couch’ tests of loyalty to establish dominance.
This is one of things that always struck me weird about the me too thing. Those women did not have a gun put up to their head to do that crap with weinstein. They had a choice and they decided money and fame was worth it to throw away dignity and self respect. Says as much about them as him. Also goes into what i was saying a few days back about corruption. You can’t tolerate it, otherwise it grows like weeds.
I think you are as mistaken now as you were then. Unless one is hyper-competent enough to overcome the minority set-asides and the HR preferential hires and promotions, his options are to either take advantage of whatever he can or be like the Rs, the noble losers.
“Well, at least we didn’t stoop to their level” you will hear repeated in the camps.
dude you’re just becoming a troll. I don’t look for you comments to comment on. Believe whatever you want steve, i don’t care. You’re a simp, go tell all your beliefs to your wonderful wife and daughter, maybe they’ll care.
My bad. Glad to hear you solved all your issues.
Give my best to your wife and daughter.
That crap they call music is nothing but noise.
One good thing about this Diddy Thing is that if all of the rump ranger zigaboos fall out of the tree, if may so discredit that crap that no one will ever want to listen to it again. It’s hard to be credible when about squalling about their hos if everyone knows they really like skinny snow white boys. Good things do come out of the imperial collapse of your nation, every now and then.
Lol
Tars – I’ve referred to it as “nogger noise” for over a decade.
It’s nursery rhymes set to a beat for morons to show off their subwoofers. People with IQs that low don’t care about harmonies, key changes, or artistic skills. They couldn’t understand Rush or Mozart.
That’s certainly an interesting theory. I submit that even if somebody has videos of Heels dispensing her favors freely to all of Hollywood over a period of years, on the average our moral standards have eroded to the point where I doubt the average Democrat would be dissuaded from voting for her. They would vote for Satan’s wife before they’d cast one for Big Orange.
They might not vote for her if there’s videos of her screwing or eating children.
Screwing, no. Eating, mebbe.
Spot on. People mostly cannot be blackmailed at this point due to the rampant depravity, so violence or the threat of it is substituted.
I was wondering about that. Kamala was certainly moving in the same social circles at the same time as those Diddy parties. Would not surprise me if she got extra drunk / high there and was filmed doing crazy stuff. Makes sense for the FBI raids that took all the blackmail materials for their own purposes.
…and the Uniparty (represented here by DoJ) can sanctimoniously assert, “See? We’re non-partisan…we go after Democrat bad actors, too.” Heck, they prosecuted and convicted a sitting President’s son for tax and firearms charges. No questions, please, about dealings in Ukraine or who knows what else. The desired message is of course that our Federal government is objective, impartial and enforces the laws impersonally. The unstated message for anyone playing the game is, of course, quite the contrary. The regime will be used to go after whomever is the political enemy of the day. For the accelerationist, that’s actually a… Read more »
Yep. And the Hunter prosecutions are bogus anyway.. Everybody knows he is going to get pardoned. It’s all for show.

Recall that Tucker Carlson got the boot from Fox after asking someone to show any evidence that diversity could somehow be a strength. Adams is getting it now after complaining about immigration. These are sacred oxen, not to be gored by anyone of either party, and the inquisitors who defend this religion are far-reaching and unforgiving.
The “Iranians are out to get Trump” stories have been fed to the media for some months now. Maybe priming the public for something?
Trump gets offed and a perp – Ali Harvegh Oswalid, an Iranian national – is gunned down at the scene by our valiant Secret Service. Cue anti-Iran war hysteria, and all those MAGA White Boys from the South who hitherto have been reluctant to join the new woke, incompetent and homo GAE military are now thirsting to avenge their dead Fuhrer.
How convenient – for all the parties who believe they stand to benefit.
That may indeed be the plan, but those uber MAGA white boys in the South still won’t have anything to do with the military.
Let’s hope not! And let’s hope and pray I’m wrong!
Was going to say the same….MAGA boys will NOT join a military that is “woke” and under a marxist/globalist CIC.
Meanwhile, the boys in Tel-Aviv crack open a bottle of vintage Mogen-David…
City of London and vintage Rotschild.
A nice ’96 Lafite-Rothschild helps the gefiltefish go down in the most delightful way, I’m told…
White boys from the South ain’t coming back. If the military believes that, they’ve got another thing coming.
Maybe not “the” military, but one can’t rule out there being two militaries. Indeed, there is historical precedent.
I nearly snotted my coffee all over the keyboard. Good one Jannie!
And you’re correct, this IS the plan.
Add this one to the pile.
President Donald Trump gave clear instructions to Pentagon brass days before the Jan. 6 riots to “do whatever it takes” to keep the U.S. Capitol safe, including deploying National Guard or active-duty troops
They agreed then backstabbed him.
It did change the narrative on the election, well really it ended any questioning of the election. Nice little coincidence.
One thing that dissidents get wrong about the government is these different agencies are in lockstep. The FBI/CIA/ATF and the other ones are in constant and often bloody behind-the-scenes competition for government money, influence and attention from the carnies in the media. Look at the Branch Davidian siege where the ATF went in with guns blazing, got their asses kicked and the FBI took over command. Our armed services, despite all of this “joint” claptrap, are much the same way. The Marines are the best at fighting battles on Capitol Hill and the services all are in competition for money… Read more »
Great article on these very strange and confusing times. After the Biden insertion, a friend of mine was telling me about how distraught her husband had become over Trump’s loss. He had been sure Trump would win and firmly believed it was stolen. I forwarded a fantastic post from Zman about Jan 6 and Ashley Babbitt to her and asked her to share it with her husband. She couldn’t get over the fact that a pseudonym was used by the author. She kept asking me why he didn’t post under his real name, etc. I don’t think she even shared… Read more »
Quite naive of her. But really, how do you explain the reality of the Left and your exposure to their “retaliation” for expressing a contrary view to their orthodoxy? For every car I see with “MAGA”-type stickers, I see perhaps 6 or more with Leftist sentiments. The simple reason is that all my friends know that to place such bumper stickers on their vehicle is to invite vandalism. The values of the Left are not the same as of the Right. Free speech (for Rightest views) not being one of them. Since your friend seems to espouse a more Leftist… Read more »
Yea it’s all about where you live Brother we have Trump flags on vehicles galore up here and no one cares to vandalize them because they know they will end up in the hospital…
Twenty or so years ago I had the temerity to affix a bumper sticker saying, “I revere Christ and country, therefore I am not a liberal”* on my car. Less than a week later somebody busted out the drivers’ side rear window. And this in a conservative West Texas city, albeit one housing a sizeable university.
*Twenty years ago American patriotism made a certain amount of sense. I have since ejected every patriotic impulse from my system.
Yea University towns usually have a lot of lefties running around…
What this suggests is that maybe there is no general conspiracy at work, but rather a breakdown of control at the top. Related but not entirely the same is the likelihood of factional division and internecine warfare, which is a hallmark of unsettled totalitarian regimes in their late stages. It certainly would explain the contrary stories planted in the Regime propaganda organs about alleged Iranian assassins. One faction obviously wants a pretext for a third and successful assassination attempt. The other or other factions want to burn the faction laying the groundwork to murder Trump. It most likely is the… Read more »
When I read the news about the Adams indictment in NYC I thought his explanation that it was payback for pushing back against getting flooded with illegals was reasonable. Then I wondered why the Turks were bribing the mayor of New York City in the first place. Adams is on the older side and a joke of a politician, this is as high as he was going to go. What do they get out of paying him off? The whole system makes no sense. A system breakdown could explain part of it. I hope we are heading to an implosion,… Read more »
The Adams thing is hard to understand given the timing. It could be as simple as foreign bribes are reserved for the federal level and a local apparatchik got uppity and cut into their action, but still, why now?
Maybe he’s getting Moe Greened.
Not yet, but it may be coming.
Everyone of their “assets” is expendable. And the question people should be asking is why now?
This…is the business…we have chosen.
or the conspiracy is what is breaking down 😉
Every so often, regime elements fall out with one another. It could be that people are pissed he wasn’t on board with Biden’s immigration plans, or it could be something completely personal. The only thing we know is isn’t about “corruption”. Same with Weinstein. Epstein and Diddy were probably clean up ops.
People tend to think of the government, or governmental departments as black boxes. The Feds did this, or The FBI did that. But the government is a sprawling, decentralized organization of millions of people. Even small government agencies have tens of thousands of employees. The idea that everyone inside such an organization works toward one coherent objective is pretty crazy. Especially as America has had civil service protections for the bureaucrats in this organizations for more than a century. And worse, the culture of government has been one of unaccountability for generations. No one is ever held accountable for anything… Read more »
The lack of explanations Zman astutely recounts here is one blade of the proverbial scissors. The other “blade” is the general public’s willingness to accept prima facie absurdities without any apparent ruckus. People have just become accustomed to it for some reason. Sixty years from the Warren Commission, through Vietnam and NAFTA/ WTO, WMD, Covid blah blah, callouses have formed. Or nearly everyone is entirely focused on trying to pay their grocery bills.
half the population doesn’t think anything is wrong, other hlf don’t think it can be fixed.
Well put. To add, neither half cares as long as their bellies are full and they have sportsball.
When it all falls, and they can’t get parts to fix anything, much less replace with new, and the power goes out and stays out months at a time, simply because we can’t import all of what we out sourced, there will be many shocked and angry people.
If it stays out months it probably isn’t coming back on…
I used to live a mile down the road from a G.E. factory in Owensboro, Kentucky, that built transformers and other such power line equipment. I also remember when they shut it down, fired all the workers, and moved the production overseas.
I have said for sometime that the real collapse of America will be due to the lack of domestically manufactured goods and parts.
It’s already happening under everybody’s noses Brother…As long as the bread and circuses continue though people will remain docile…
If it comes to that, cities haven’t produced anything we need for the last half century. It stays out months, the productive parts of the country can be brought back on-line to the extent necessary with diesel backup generators.
Callouses have formed, alright. On the brain…
Callouses form from working though, I don’t think many are using their brains all that much ..
Callouses from their brains being warshed too much.
And then Routh’s son got charged for kiddie porn. A true scumbag? Or was he set up? What probable cause did they have to search the son’s stuff?
Recall that the alleged Las Vegas shooter’s brother magically got charged with kiddie porn, too… coincidence? Or the easiest crime ever to frame somebody with planted evidence? Anybody accused of this whether for real or falsely will get zero sympathy from anyone…
Routh’s son won’t be making public statements now.
Coen brothers movie, Burn After Reading gives good insight into the ridiculous nature of our intel agencies, and it’s a comedy.
Is it a comedy or a documentary?
“…comedy or a documentary?”
The difference it seems being only one of *time*! What was once so absurd as to be only considered as comedy with time becomes a documentary. It’s Orwell’s “1984” all over again.
I gather Idiocracy has matured from comedy into documentary in that fashion.
(Really need to watch that one. Matrix as well.)
Yep. What I noted about “Idiocracy” first was an acceptance/premise of genetically induced decline in intelligence due to over breeding of the “stupid” and under breeding of the “intelligent”. Really, in 2006, the issue of genetic determination of intelligence was still being fought vigorously in academia and such notions were considered a “career ender” for young faculty.
I read on some anonymous police blog that child porn is what they charge you with when they’ve got nothing. Either they plant it, or they search your devices, find some porn, charge you with child porn and then leave it to you to prove the subject is of legal age, which is practically impossible to do.
Same “reason” they had for searching Melania’s underwear drawer…
It’s becoming clear that the DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc. can no longer be seen as cohesive entities, but a number of fiefdoms vying for power among the general bureaucracy to the point where there are so many nodes that no one knows what’s going on anymore. Since no one can ever get fired, there’s no way to reinstall order since once someone gets a position, it’s basically a lifetime appointment for them to run wild in. It’s also why the “head” of these departments are empty-headed dunderheads to avoid anything that shakes the current status quo. While it’s going to… Read more »
All you need to know about our society is:
1) how they treated Bernie Goetz, Derek Chauvin, and Daniel Penny and the monstrous criminals that those men slew
2) how much money is taken from you in taxes and how it is spent
What a fucking nightmare.
Yea people will keep paying the dane geld though as long as they aren’t bothered too much…

I think Trump needs to worry more about Mossad than Iran.
why? he lubs them israelis
The shabbos goy is NEVER liked or respected, he’s just useful, until he’s not
The Israelis who love him are regular Joe Sixpack guys (Judah Sevencandles?). Their government finds him annoying and appears to think it would profit from taking him out.
The plan the media is telegraphing now is to kill Trump, blame Iran, and thereby Americanize Israel’s war. The American military thinks that a Muslim-murdered Trump will reverse white flight from the uniform. A joint mission clearly exists.
The green men of globohomo are failure-prone, fortunately.
So is he just dumb by playing into it or what…
The picture that summarizes this is Dr. Jill presiding over the first cabinet meeting in almost a year: https://x.com/TheFirstonTV/status/1837231795969863770
Would it shock anyone if they rig the election so that she wins and there are no changes in the cabinet? Biden is nothing more than a figure head now, so why not be explicit with Harris?
They seem not to bother as much with the facade and plausible deniability compared to just a few years ago
O’s third term, gearing up hopefully for a 4th. Nothing he likes better than showing up/humiliating Americans.
Why is she there in the first place? “First lady” is not a real government position. And if she can be there, why not Joe’s siblings too? Or what about Hunter? I am sure he can contribute.
Given they have no actual power, might as well use a horse to stand at the head of the table. It’s been done.
“Head of the table” is the give away. If it’s not Biden sitting there, it should be vacant. We really have invited the “barbarians at the gate” inside.
I would guess Jill and her staff put the meeting together so she could pretend to be President for a couple of hours. The Cabinet showed up because many of them are just as dull and deluded as Jill and those who would have objected were promised something in return for their cooperation with the photo op.
Yes. It very well may be as simple as Dr. Jill demanded she be allowed to LARP as president for a spell. It would be consistent with the rampant idiocy.
I had never bothered to look at who was in Biden’s Cabinet. The best could be described as mediocre, most are total dunces like Lloyd Austin. He has hardly had any turnover at all with the only two major members leaving being Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh who left to become Director of the NHL Players Association and HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge who most likely left due to extreme incompetence. These people aren’t angling for other jobs as the administration winds down which makes me think Zman is right and they have privately been told they get to stay if… Read more »
And to think people used to mock Alexander Haig…
“Doctor” Jill has been LARPing her whole life. When I was a young grad student in the PhD program, I had a major professor who brooked no “ego”. He was merciless to a recent PhD student of his who had his secretary book him a room at a conference as “Dr. so & so”! Indeed, when the hotel agent addressed him as “Doctor”, my major professor asked loudly when he graduated from med school? It was a classic “dress down” and probably mostly made for the rest of us budding PhD students standing around. As he later related to us,… Read more »
While everyone likes to pin it on Edith Wilson, the template for Doctor Jill, Hilary, and Big Mike Obama as Co-President is Wheels Roosevelt’s ugly wife, Eleanor Roosevelt.

Zounds look at the blacks next to her
Next thing there will be an assassination attempt from in front of Trump, by an Iranian with a .22, while he is hit in the back of the head with a .38.
If there is another attempt, it will probably have to be more sophisticated, necessitating the involvement of a state level actor. Hence the Iran cover story. A “lone nut” won’t cut it.
The more interesting question is why Trump is giving it credibility. Maybe he figures it’s his best chance to stay alive. Give the Zionists their war, and pit them against the Neocon Ukraniacs. Exploiting the ancient enmity between German and Russian Jews is pretty clever, actually.
Inter-elite competition as the foxes dip their toes into becoming lions. We’re the sheep in any case. The first shooter purportedly had multiple “encrypted” messaging apps. There was a cover story that was going to lead the American public down some kind of rabbit hole. Plenty the blob want expanded war with Russia. The second shooter had all kinds of crazy stuff in his bio. Volunteered in Ukraine, and when rejected, tried to be a recruiter for the cause? Bizarre. This, too, seemed to have some kind of rabbit hole narrative to distract and to force a course of action… Read more »
“All of it seems like a poorly written made-for-tv script.”
THIS
After two months of covid i said the exact same thing. As soon as you get that feeling stop believing anything they say. The only good thing watching TV in my youth did for me, being able to discern a good script from a bad one.
Even the Oswalds these days are wholly unbelievable…
The regime’s schemes and dishonesty are the lesser mystery. That does not mean I know all the answers to all the questions, but at least we can be assured that the regime, and/or various factions within it, are acting in what they believe to be their own interest. So in that sense it is not so mysterious. The greater mystery is all the many millions of retarded dupes who still believe, even after what we have all witnessed in the last 8 years, what is propagated in the regime’s media. Often they are otherwise seemingly intelligent people. This truly boggles… Read more »
I have concluded that these types want to believe the propaganda. That would explain why otherwise intelligent people lap up obvious lies.
And I think that wanting to appear virtuous plays a big role.
There seems to be a significant minority of folk who will always follow “what the people on the TV say” even if means doublethink, holding two contradictory opinions simultaneously (e.g. “You need to get the COVID vaxx to protect yourself and others even though it doesn’t protect yourself and others.”). They seem to think that by following the crowd they’ll somehow be safer. But: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and… Read more »
Not stupidity so much as gullibility, stubbornness, the refusal to give up a fixed idea even in the face of contradictory evidence. The following quote described alcoholic behavior, but it’d apply to many human woes:
“The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death.”
Strange and rare occurrences? Hate to tell you folks, but this foolishness has been going on for over a hundred years………………………… “Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” —– Woodrow Wilson Now you… Read more »
Anyone else notice they tried to re-float the UFO shoot down hoax yesterday?
I will credit the 4K TV-addicted normies for immediately calling out the totally grainy and indistinct photo the controlled media used to push the hoax.
Is it incompetence (stupidity ( or malice towards us? There is a lot of truth in the old saying that if it were stupidity some of their actions should be good for us. I can’t think of any. That has to be a tell
Definitely malice. Not even a chance of getting this far in destroying America through incompetence.
Like I’ve said for a while, we’re way under the Do Long Bridge now, and the four factions of the Regime are panicking, which is an indication that, contrary to the doom mongers, the Bad Orange Man could be elected in November regardless of the fraud built into the system. Everyone is jockeying for power regardless of who comes out on top, because that necessitates a reordering of the factions, within the factions themselves, because these people hate each other like poison, personally, in a way that transcends ideology or money. That’s important.
Yep. It’s becoming increasingly clear that nobody is in command here.
Not even Al Haig?
https://youtu.be/zUKW0fL-OqY
Jittery performance by Big Al, and compared to today’s crop of political types, he looks like Cicero.
Well, I suppose anything’s possible, but I would be utterly shocked if Kamaltoe isn’t installed. I really don’t think Trump has a Chinaman’s chance.
The only thing that would give him a chance is if the juice think he is better for israhell than Kamaltoe, hence his virtuoso fellation of them. The jewry may still be out on that question.
I’m not sure even the big Finkels have enough swat to drag Trump across the finish line. Ten years ago, sure. But their power seems to be waning in tandem with the blackening of AINO.
I remember how alone I felt about this kind of thing in the dark age before the internet. Prior generations of my family were pretty cynical and grandparents/great-uncles filled me in on things like the Pearl Harbor scam and others early in life – but among my peers I was alone in knowing those things. I’m glad more people who actually do give a damn about truth have a chance to put a few more pieces together. Alas, none of us will ever see the whole rotten picture. The various extreme examples cited by other commentors are excellent, but I… Read more »
All of the “pretty people” decry conspiracies supposedly because nobody can keep a secret. Yet, these same people know we classify over a million documents a year.
Most conspiracies only ever really fall apart when the authorities start offering immunity for snitching and life imprisonment if convicted. But when the authorities are in on it, they threaten life in prison for snitching and immunity and money for keeping your mouth shut.
Occam’s Razor. The Federal Government has been infiltrated and taken over by a cabal of globalist stooges that are covertly working to impose a techno-tyranny. Trump represents an existential threat to their plans and they are seriously trying to kill him before the election. CIA is in the lead and using Ukrainian assets. Iran is just distraction that serves Netanyaho’s interests. Plus, someone has to be blamed when they succeed. No plan survives contact with the enemy. When it goes hot, that will be unpredictable. Prepare for false-flags out the wazoo.
Anyone else getting a late Imperial Russia vibe? The system, such as it is, seems to be running on a combination of inertia and momentum, nobody really believes in our institutions anymore, everything seems to be fake.
I’d say late Soviet union vibe but maybe we mean the same thing and in that case absolutely
Maybe it’s just all theatre to keep everyone entertained or in chaos, so they don’t do what they need to, for what is coming at us like a freight train…
Problem with this though is there is someone who goes home, kisses his wife, throws the football with his son, goes to bbqs volunteers at the church, who tells all of the people in his life lies about serious things. He knows most of what they think is real are little movies he helped make. This is just not within the ability of humans.
the idea that there is not a small sized class of people who lie to everyone all the time is not in accord with human nature. They would be gods.
Some people just can’t comprehend that kind of evil which is very real…
They would “only” have to be pure psychopaths. And there is some reasons to suspect that the system selects for psychopaths
The managerial class is united against the dirts. But yes, they have different ideas about how to immiserate the average bloke (who needs to be replaced with the joyous diversity). How to effect “change” in other words. That coupled with the competency crisis explains a lot.
Yes, it is entirely plausible that the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing, especially when the left hand is intelligence, which likes to keep its operations secret…and the competency crisis is everywhere, especially in Government, which promotes people based on clout, not achievement…But the general drift is that anything that’s anti-Trump will be protected and denied…
The explanation is regime factionalism. Contra a comment down below (just disagree) factionalism always exists in every regime, and it does indeed matter. It matters if Beria or Zhukov/Khrushchev wins. It can indeed always get far worse. It seems to me that factionalism, and lack of competence due to DEI / AA and feminist policies seems to drive the failures we see at the regime levels. Musk with Brazil was the military faction unhappy that Biden’s people installed Lula over Bolsanaro and predictably Lula allowed Chinese (and possibly Russian) spy bases in on the Brazilian Atlantic coast and ports.

I don’t expect to have to wait too much longer than 2028 to see Letitia James running for pres. Maybe 2032 assuming we get 8 years of Kamala. Picture it, 16 straight years of strong negro women in the Anti-White House. Probably just a start, by then it’ll be a requirement.
Thing I’ve noticed: Whenever /ourguys/ recognize regime factionalism, they immediately side with some regime faction—or invent one to side with. That was the appeal of the Q anon “white hats” troll/op (troll turned op, probably). /ourmedia/ regularly inveighs against us: You must pretend the “PayPal mafia” aren’t the same guys already ruling/destroying the world, or that there are rational military men lightly applying the brakes to all our geopolitical debacles, or whatever—because only losers don’t side with the regime…faction! regime faction! dissident faction! There totally is one! “Elite theory!” Etc. Natural conservatives. Or, So you’re saying there’s a chance… Intra-regime… Read more »

Watched the intro to a video called “How Europe Stole the World” yesterday. Standard Lefty whining about corporations, which I agree with up to a point. Didn’t need to see more, but it got me thinking. So the English colonies at least (I’d guess Dutch too, maybe all of them) were corporations, more or less, meaning they were investors backed by the state, with employees (colonists). Massachusetts Bay Company, Virginia Company, etc. Before that, what? The Crown granted lands and titles, or something like that, meaning the Crown ultimately owned everything. Private government. So nobility, patrimony, and proprietorship are replaced… Read more »
William Penn could be pretty realistic, but yes, he established Quaker government in his colony, while also allowing other Christians to settle there. He believed in a balance of “freedom of conscience” with a government that acted severely against crimes. The Quakers in those days and for a long time afterwards were very conservative socially. They didn’t tolerate bad, antisocial, criminal behavior at all. Violent criminals were dealt with effectively, and things like gambling, fornication, and swearing were considered offenses. Fascinating stuff. Penn was only able to spend a couple of brief periods in Pennsylvania, and while he was gone,… Read more »
Rights + discipline sounds good to me. Freedom isn’t free, as they say. Anther thing I find interesting: I’ve read PA was an AnCap paradise, or at least the most capitalist (in the ideal sense) of the colonies. I don’t have an informed opinion on that, but it makes sense. I’d guess it was a consequence of a colony of mostly small freeholders. Kind of an odd spin on utopia. OTOH, by the late 19th century, the Commonwealth was deforested and degraded. The state set about purchasing large, mostly-abandoned tracts. That’s how we got our state parks, state forests, and… Read more »
“Rights + discipline sounds good to me. Freedom isn’t free, as they say.” Same with me! And yes, as I recall, the Quakers were very commerce-oriented, as were some of the Pennsylvania Dutch. And both groups tended to be very good and conscientious with farming, at least in the early years, and among my ancestors. My grandfather was an organic farmer, following ideas of Louis Bromfield I believe, long before organic became hip. Those early Quakers had the philosophy of building things to last, and stewarding the land. But as you described, not everyone followed that. David Hackett Fischer wrote… Read more »

I’m thinking, if anything, these shots on Trump are making the argument to the public, albeit unsaid, that why vote for a guy who’s just going to get shot a few months into office. Why waste your vote?
That may be good enough to dissuade some fence-sitters
[…] Zman is epic today. […]
off topic but has anyone watched the show euphoria? I finally got around to watching it. I can’t think of a show more emotionally exhausting than it.
What this suggests is that maybe there is no general conspiracy at work, but rather a breakdown of control at the top i think that Irish guy called those who thinks everything is a conspiracy and that everything is going to some clever plan, schizoids. what makes for trust? Personally it was a few things like Waco , ruby ridge, Asange, and the spy who’s in Russia now I forgot his name. But the big one for me was weapons of mass destruction. it’s a good thing to think about how we believe what we believe. What would have to… Read more »
All we know for certain is that the US government is at the root of it all. Good possibility that it’s a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, but ultimately it is the same body.
Good post and good conclusion, I feel it is correct, they have lost control of their factions and the factions have lost control of their monkeys.
The Conservative Treehouse has the best explanation. Judas goats have been sent out all over the system pushing the right buttons to make this stuff happen. These Judas goats are either working for Trump or parties friendly to Trump or using Jeffrey Epstein blackmail to make them do what they are doing. Just the lawsuits alone wouldn’t happen under ordinary circumstances. Somebody has a gun to their heads. This is a mass psyop to illustrate how “I was just following orders” works. Trump friendly media is also there to capture it and to fan out over social media. Don’t you… Read more »
