Five Faulty Premises of Russiagate

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

Having watched some of the questions to former Special Counsel Robert Mueller by congress on Wednesday July 24, 2019, as well as Mueller’s dithering deflections – it was obvious the entire affair was another distraction; more of the same ongoing circus show.

Of course, no minds were changed. Those on the Left still consider Trump to be a comprised capitalist pig guarding his tax returns with all the fervor of any good Manchurian Candidate and those on the Right still viewing Mueller as a tyrannical tool of the Deep State.

After Mueller’s live testimony, this blogger listened to roughly thirty Americans calling into CNBC with their comments. Of those callers, only three were in support of Trump and with the rest of them effusively expressing gratitude to Mueller for his service in revealing Trump’s threat to American Democracy.

The Man on the Mountain and Our Fair Share

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

At the onset of the apocalypse just as a fog settled into the valleys like lingering smoke from distant battlefields, a man struggled up the mountain to see what he could see.  There, he found clarity above the clouds and while seeing the shadows below.  He could also see other mountain tops in the distance and other climbers sending messages as if by firelight; or, rather, electronic reflections on flashing screens.

In the upper elevations the air was cool and bright. The sun shone unhindered against a blue canopy like a candle held high and the brilliant stars at night blinked and twinkled as friendly eyes in the ether .  The man had words he wanted to share with the other climbers as well as those residing in the valleys below, so he built a platform and set upon it a billboard where words were posted for all to see.  Others responded to the man’s messages and many even joined him on the mountain as the man would even place the words of other climbers from their own lofts on the distant mountaintops.

America’s Late-stage Decadence

Via International Man

America's Decadence

International Man: Economically, politically, and socially, the United States seems to be headed down a path that’s not only inconsistent with the founding principles of the country but accelerating quickly toward boundless decay.

The word “decadence” is often associated with the fall of the Roman Empire, which became morally corrupt—its people lazy, wasteful, and lacking discipline. Many observers have pointed out the US is similarly becoming decedent. How do you see it?

Doug Casey: There’s no question about it; the culture in the US is changing. Where to start? It’s a book-length subject. One thing that absolutely amazes me is that the term “cultural appropriation” has become a buzzword for a lot of people today. The concept is actually completely insane.

Climate Change is about Overthrowing Capitalism

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

The Extinction Rebellion, formed in 2018, appears to be an extreme anarchist group that is using climate as an excuse to overthrow governments. Climate change has become a movement that advocates a hostile takeover of the world economy to end capitalism. This movement of climate protestors in Britain known as the Extinction Rebellion has a very subversive agenda.

A Day At The Theater

Guest Post by The Zman

Politics in a modern democracy is mostly theater. The various actors hired by the wealthy, put on shows for the people. Today, we have entire television outlets dedicated to staging these performances. Sometimes the performances are intended to away public opinion on an issue. Sometimes they are intended to distract the public from something important. The Russian collusion hoax was intended to be a distraction, so the public would not think about the FBI corruption.

A Purview of Dust

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

Who imagined that in the climactic scene of the blockbuster RussiaGate fantasy, when the curtain was ripped away, the Wizard at the controls would turn out to be… Captain Queeg! We need not rehearse all the depressing particulars of Robert Mueller’s six-hour public humiliation in two House committee hearings in order to reach a set of conclusions about the conduct of his rogue investigation and the perfidious report issued in his name.

BELIEF SYSTEMS

Robert Bronsdon (Hollywood Rob) July 2019

We spend a lot of time here discussing how we think the world works.  None of us really know but we all have our own Belief System (BS) and we promote it to the extent that we are able.  Implicit in our discussions is frequently the opinion that even if we are not privy to the true machinations of the global elite, somebody must be.  I am afraid that I don’t see this as true.  Let me explain.

Perhaps many of you visit Zero Hedge.  It is the source for many of the posts that Jim places in his blog.  If you do visit you will, of course, see the contributions made by people with real names.  These articles, frequently culled from respected journals of higher learning are peppered in between the posts from Tyler Durden, a character from the cult movie Fight Club.

After Mueller Debacle, Where Do Democrats Go?

Guest Post by Pat Buchanan

After Mueller Debacle, Where Do Democrats Go?

The Republican message of Wednesday: Proceed with hearings to impeach and there will be blood on the floor.

The Democrats who were looking to cast Robert Mueller as the star in a TV special, “The Impeachment of Donald Trump,” can probably tear up the script. They’re gonna be needing a new one.

For six hours Wednesday, as three cable news networks and ABC, CBS and NBC all carried live the hearings of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, the Mueller report was thoroughly trashed.

The special counsel stood by his findings. His investigation was not a “hoax” or “witch hunt,” he said. He admitted that he had found no Trump-Russia conspiracy. He denied he exonerated Trump of obstruction of justice.

All this we knew, and all of it we have heard for months.

It’s Not Just the News That’s Fake–Everything’s Fake

July 24, 2019

That we fall for the fakes and cons is understandable, given that’s all we have left in the public sphere.

What do we mean when we say corporate media is fake? We mean it’s a carefully crafted con, a set of narratives, cherry-picked data and heavily massaged statistics (the unemployment rate, etc.) designed to instill the reader’s confidence in a narrative that serves the interests not of the citizenry but of a select few pillaging the citizenry.

Once upon a time in America, no adult could survive without a finely tuned BS detector. Herman Melville masterfully captured America’s culture of cons and con artists in his 1857 classic The Confidence-Man, which I discussed in The Con in Confidence (October 4, 2006).
