The Irony of Phenomena Past and Present

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

In the film industry, there is a marketing strategy called “counterprogramming” whereupon two opposite types of movies are released on the same weekend. The idea is to appeal to separate demographics and, ultimately, drive more people to the theaters.

This occurred last month when two summer blockbusters were released on the same day, “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer”.  The former is a film about the iconic children’s doll and the latter is about the inventor of the atomic bomb.

Interestingly, the release of the films began a social phenomenon called “Barbenheimer” where many film-goers would see both shows as a double feature.

Subsequently, while visiting relatives earlier this month, some of them asked if I would consider going to both films just for kicks, or, at the very least, if I would tag along to see “Oppenheimer” only.  The ladies were planning to see “Barbie” all dressed up in their pink summer outfits and they feigned dramatic sighs as I declined their offer.

Biden’s Plan to Lower Gas Prices Looks A Lot Like Communism

Bidens Plan to Lower Gas Prices: Threatening Oil Companies (Are Price Controls Next?)

From Peter Reagan

As the November 8th midterm election draws closer, the U.S. economy is still suffering from red-hot inflation, and that includes high gas prices.

In response to public outrage over the situation, President Biden had a novel strategy. Previously, the Biden regime had sold 180 million barrels of crude from the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), shrinking it to their lowest levels since the 1980s.

Did that work? The Treasury Department claims the decision “lowered the price of gasoline by 17 cents to 42 cents per gallon, with an alternate approach suggesting a point estimate of 38 cents per gallon.”

That’s not nothing! When California gas prices were nearly $7 per gallon (nearly $5 nationwide), we really were feeling pain at the pump. Continue reading “Biden’s Plan to Lower Gas Prices Looks A Lot Like Communism”

Persuasion is to Unity What Coercion is to Conformity

Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you are told. Obedience is doing what is told regardless of what is right.

It would be easy to speculate ad nauseam regarding the 2022 U.S. Midterms, but that is not the main intention of this post. Therefore, my comments regarding the national elections will be brief:  In short, it seems there were three general outcomes possible: 1.) Democrats holding both Houses of Congress 2.) GOP winning House or Senate but not both 3.) GOP winning both House and Senate.

In the Old Normal, given current economic shortages and inflation, the extremism of woke politics, increasing urban crime, the politicization of COVID, and the weaponization of federal agencies, a sizable red wave would have been assured.  But we no longer live in the Old Normal and we haven’t for some time. As the aftermath of the 2020 Presidential Election demonstrated, America has crossed the Rubicon. Speculation is moot. At this late date in history, the beast system will never cede power via honest elections.

Political Purges Emerge Through the Compliance of Those Following Orders

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

Albert Einstein

 

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

Fascism is capitalism plus murder.

Upton Sinclair

 

Supposedly, a mid-nineteenth-century American Medical Association pamphlet quoted Vladimir Lenin as saying:  “Socialized medicine is the keystone to the arch of a socialized state.”  Although online fact-checkers claim there is no “credible source”  proving Lenin actually made that claim, it does appear to be an accurate observation.

After all, before becoming President of the United States, Ronald Reagan identified “medicine”  as a traditional method of “imposing statism or socialism” on people.  In the same 1961 speech, Reagan claimed that it is “very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project” but, once the precedent is established, government would, in turn, form a dictatorship over the healthcare system prior to the “short step” to “all the rest of socialism” encroaching throughout society.

Four years after Reagan’s warning to America, Medicare began in 1965 as a federal health insurance program under the auspices of the Security Administration (SSA). And, today, the program is administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Will Student Debt Forgiveness Burst the Everything Bubble?

Will Student Debt Forgiveness Burst the Everything Bubble?

From Peter Reagan

On Wednesday, August 24, President Joe Biden said the U.S. government would forgive $10,000 in student loans for most debt-burdened Americans:

U.S. consumers carry a massive $1.75 trillion in student loan debt, most of it held by the federal government, the result of university tuition fees substantially higher than in most other rich countries.

Biden’s administration will extend a COVID-19 pandemic-linked pause on student loan repayment to the end of the year, while forgiving $10,000 in student debt for borrowers whose income falls below $125,000 a year, or $250,000 for a married couple, the White House said.

Fed Struggles to Stop Biden from Destroying American Economy

From Peter Reagan

A couple of weeks ago we discussed Wall Street’s hopes the Fed will pivot back to lower interest rates and cheap money to bail out the stock market.

But after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s recent remarks at the annual FOMC meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, those hopes look more like wishful thinking than anything else.

Powell sounds even more serious about hiking the Fed funds rate for as long as it takes to cool off the historic inflation that has been heating up since President Biden took office in January 2021.

U.S. Officials Have a Bizarre, Confusing Strategy to Fight Inflation

Like the flaming oil wells during the first Iraq War, Biden’s inflation fires blaze on. As of March 2022, inflation had risen by 8.5% compared to the same time last year.

Making matters worse, U.S. economic growth slowed 1.4% according to the most recent official report. Even the bulliest-of-bulls in the mainstream media, CNBC, couldn’t put a positive spin on this…

U.S. GDP fell at a 1.4% pace to start the year as pandemic recovery takes a hit

How Obama And Biden Installed Neo-Nazis In Ukraine

By KanekoaTheGreat Via Substack

Disclaimer: I did not support the U.S. government’s 2014 coup overthrowing the democratically-elected government of Ukraine, nor did I support Ukraine’s shelling of Donbas for the last 8-years, nor do I support Russia’s current invasion of Ukraine. The neo-Nazi factions represent a small percentage of Ukraine, but a significant percentage that played a major role in the 2014 coup, the War in Donbas, and the ongoing war with Russia. This isn’t a story of good versus evil. It is a story of corrupt governments ruthlessly fighting for competing self-interest, while ordinary citizens suffer the consequences.

If the American people knew the truth about how Obama and Biden helped Neo-Nazi factions overthrow the elected government of Ukraine they might not be so eager to start World War III. Today’s crisis in Ukraine cannot be understood without first understanding the U.S. government’s role in the Ukrainian Maidan Coup.

In 2013, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych rejected an IMF loan and EU association agreement because he claimed the loan would hand over control of Ukraine’s natural resources and increase the cost of living for the Ukrainian people.

In response, a highly organized western-backed color revolution led by U.S. government officials was immediately deployed against Yanukovych.

Soviet-Style Living Finds Joe Biden’s America

Oft a well-versed talking point of the mid-2000’s conservative and right-leaning movement, it was often debated when the tactics and strategies of Soviet politics would appear in America (or if they were already here). Taking a page from the USSR playbook, New York officials have begun a contest to see who can seemingly “out crazy” the other.

The Anecdotes of an American Nobody at the End of Things

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

 

No man has been shattered by the blows of Fortune unless he was first deceived by her favours. Those who loved her gifts as if they were their own forever, who wanted to be admired on account of them, are laid low and grieve when the false and transient pleasures desert their vain and childish minds, ignorant of every stable pleasure. But the man who is not puffed up in good times does not collapse either when they change. His fortitude is already tested and he maintains a mind unconquered in the face of either condition: for in the midst of prosperity he has tried his own strength against adversity.

– Seneca

 

You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

– Revelation 3:17

 

There is no denying the Creature from Jekyll Island is a snake eating its own tail. Unfortunately, the tail is the entire world and it was devoured slow and sure:  banking, Wall Street, sovereign governments, international corporations, and, now, Main Street and entire populations around the globe.

It’s been a year and a few days since The Great Reset officially began on November 3, 2020. That was when a handful of Democrat Party controlled precincts, in Democrat Party controlled cities, in key electoral swing states, all stopped counting votes in the middle of the night.  Forgetting that Trump received more votes than any other president in history and Sleepy Joe was said to have received even more votes with the winning margins secured in those Democrat-controlled precincts – the unbelievable irony is now this: Those who believe Biden is a legitimate president consider those who disagree with that consensus as believers of “The Big Lie”.

Nancy Pelosi’s Archbishop Says Excommunication Is An Option For Abortion-Supporting Catholic Politicians

Mike Miller Via RedState

Well, this is awkward. Self-proclaimed “devout Catholic” Nancy Pelosi appears to be in serious danger of being excommunicated from the Catholic Church over her equally devout support of abortion.

Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, the archbishop of Pelosi’s home diocese in San Francisco, wrote in a Sunday op-ed for The Washington Post: “You cannot be a good Catholic and support expanding a government-approved right to kill innocent human beings.”

The archbishop then took Pelosi to task for her histrionic comments after the Supreme Court refused to block the Texas “fetal heartbeat” abortion law. Excerpts, as transcribed from WaPo:

Years of Watching General Mark Milley Finally Make Sense – The Chairman of The Joint Chiefs is a Political Operative

By Sundance via TheConservativeTreehouse

A statement made by Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley defending the teaching Critical Race Theory to West Point cadets has gained some attention.  However, the comments Milley made today actually reconcile several years of CTH watching Milley operate and having puzzling questions.

Remember, General Milley did some really odd things as Joint Chiefs Chairman under President Trump:

(1) Milley never removed Lt. Col Alexander Vindman from his White House post after the underling compromised his leadership position.  The pentagon left Vindman on assignment to the NSC even after Vindman attempted to take-down President Trump.

BlackRock in The White House

By Sundance via TheConservativeTreehouse

With Joe Biden in the White House you can expect to hear the name “Blackrock” in the headlines connected to a variety of issues from real estate purchasing to green energy projects with massive domestic and international investments.

BlackRock, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) is a massive publicly traded multinational investment firm with over $8.68 trillion in assets under management [December 31, 2020 financial statement] in more than 100 countries across the globe.  To say that Blackrock is invested in globalism, climate change and leftist politics, would be a severe understatement {See Here}.  Larry Fink is the CEO and people like Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton’s attorney of record, are on the board.

Inside BlackRock there is a division called the BlackRock Investment Institute (BII) {See Here}.

Essentially the role of the BII is to tell BlackRock what is going to happen around the globe, and be the tip-of-the-spear in directing BlackRock where to invest money by predicting political events.

The Great Reset: An Ancient Faith Continuously Renamed

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

 

The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.

– Albert Camus

 

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

– Voltaire

 

The writings of antiquity claim Mankind’s desire to unite the world began six millennia ago on the plains of Shinar, starting with the Tower of Babel.  That may be true.  But, in any event, and whether or not history rhymes or repeats, be assured of this:  Nothing is new under the sun.

Grand events have cycled throughout history. In America, they seem to climax around every 80 years.  For example, eight decades ago the nation was soon to enter the Second World War.  Going back another 80 years, the country was on the brink of the U.S. Civil War, and a little more than 80 years before that was The Revolutionary War.

In recent decades, however, the birth pains of conflict have paired to modern technological progress – including advancements in global communications, banking, and warfare. These innovations, in turn, have delivered new creations of collective centralization; to wit, the emergence of international financial and political institutions, the League of Nations after World War I, the United Nations after World War II, and the emergence of the global panopticon in the wake of 911 and the ensuing War on Terror®.

Biden Admin Planning Corporate Tax Hike – Here’s Why The Only Losers Will Be Middle-Class Americans

Originally posted at FMShooter

After automotive giant Ford announced it’s moving a project worth almost $1 billion dollars from Ohio to Mexico, the Biden administration remains silent. In December, Biden vowed to be “the most pro-union President” but has revealed plans of raising the corporate tax rate. Whilst on the surface, an increase might seem of benefit to workers, it’s anything but. The new plant Ford built after Trump lowered the corporate tax rate is now moving to Mexico because of Biden’s tax increase. In the process of the plant moving, workers were laid off leaving scores for the unemployment line.
