“I am altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further.”
Darth Vader, “The Empire Strikes Back”
You know I think there are no coincidences in politics. Everything happens on a particular schedule. So when I see a day as crazy as today I have to ask the question, “Why this, why now?”
Look at the headlines and you’ll see what I’m talking about. All of these things happened since I woke up at 7:30am on Tuesday in Florida:
- The British Supreme Court just arrogated unprecedented power to itself by inserting itself into any dispute between the Government and Parliament. This upends more than 300 years of constitutional process.
- The Democrats have announced they will pursue impeachment charges against President Trump because an unverified, hearsay whistleblower made a complaint about a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski. Impeachment odds soared overnight as someone was tipped off about the Democrats’ plan.
- Bitcoin’s hashrate mysteriously flash-crashed more than 40% presaging a massive $1500 drop in price.
- Donald Trump delivered a blistering critique of socialism at the United Nations General Assembly. Too bad he’s nearly as bad as the ones he’s fighting on the far left.
- Europe’s Trio of Faded Glory — The UK, France and Germany — joined in the chorus of unverified condemnation of Iran in the attack on the Saudi oil field on the 14th.
- The Federal Reserve continues to bail out banks to the tune of $65 to $75 billion per day through overnight repo operations that no one can give us an explanation as to why they’re needed.
This feels to me like a multi-level coup against those that dare stand athwart the global power structure. Both British and American leadership institutions are under sincere attack with these moves.
The not-so-subtle message is, “We own you. We are in control and always will be.” Your champions will be harassed until they are completely neutered and bereft of any ability to implement the changes you want.
Meanwhile, the edifices of control that have been erected for your benefit are crashing and require even more support. So, it’s time to attack the validity of anything you might be considering to protect yourself from the chaos we’ve created.
Democratic referenda are ignored. Bitcoin mysteriously has its network attacked. Unpopular parliaments ignore the people and remain in power. Centuries of tradition and convention thrown out the window to serve the next big thing.
The world is going to end in eight years, according to an 16 year-old Swedish girl with PTSD and anxiety disorders but we’re supposed to trust in the inevitability and permanence of transnational super-governments to forestall the apocalypse?
When you lose control of the narrative, when you spin a story out of whole cloth all you can do is double down. This is what the Democrats are doing in the case of Ukraine.
They have to stay on the offensive against Trump because if they don’t their lead candidate (yeah, right!) for President is disgraced. So, the natural thing to do is, Alinsky-like, accuse Trump of the very thing that Joe Biden did and was caught on tape braying about like the jackass he is.
It is over this that Trump is to be impeached?
Daring to reveal the truth about an issue of real corruption in a country deeply implicated in the fake collusion story originally intended to remove him from the Oval Office? This somehow hits the standard of High Crimes and Misdemeanors?
It does when we live in a world ruled by men, not laws.
Trump was, for all intents, acquitted already in any obstruction of justice charges over RussiaGate. So how is his exhorting a foreign counterpart to look into real corruption committed by someone highly-connected to a former U.S. Vice President anything other than him doing his job?
It is his job to prosecute malfeasance of government officials is it not?
Trump’s move to release the un-redacted transcripts of the phone call was the right move. And the Democrats’ continued pursuing of this will likely make them look like morons.
But here’s the rub. Take a lesson from the British fiasco. The whole process through the courts was a sham. The conclusion was foregone the moment the challenge was filed to Johnson’s proroguing of Parliament.
The rest was theater because the Supreme Court was always going to decide this way.
So guess what? The Democrats would not be pushing for this if they ddin’t think they have the votes in the House and the Senate to get this done. Ignore the conventional wisdom on this. They were wrong in the UK.
They will be wrong here, unless Trump has something else up his sleeve.
His removing John Bolton and refusal to attack Iran is driving the neoconservatives to apoplexy. They want their holy war against the apostate Shi’ites and they will get it. Mike Pence will be their avatar until such time as he can be removed through a sham election in 2020.
If this wasn’t the case they wouldn’t be risking what’s left of their political future defending a senile old man, Joe Biden, who they don’t actually want to be the candidate anyway.
It’s a coup folks.
And the full court press is on in this coup for your sanity and to radicalize you into violence. They are daring us to strike back here so then they can be justified in going on full lockdown and cancel future elections.
They have to do this. Their financial markets are in the early stages of collapse. The dollar liquidity crisis has started which will drain Europe of its life blood.
This has the feel of those months leading up to Bear Stearns’ dissolution which culminated in Lehman Bros. in 2008, which broke the engine of the world.
The elite reacting this way is predictable. They were always going here. But the problem is that while you can make something awful legal, it doesn’t make it right. And people know what’s right and what is fair. Breaking the compact between rulers and the ruled sets a dangerous precedent for reciprocal violence.
Because overthrowing a President for doing his job and destroying government to nullify a democratic referendum are points of no return.
Brits and Americans alike are learning the terrible lesson that it is time to put away childish things like representative government and that elections matter. They don’t. You will be presented with nothing but Hobson’s Choices from here forward.
The image you hold in your head of your country is not the reality of the one you live in.
The dystopia is real.

Tucker had an interesting take on this latest government farce. He offers that the Dummos know they can’t win against trump because of the loony left positions on taking away guns, open borders, free health care, etc. So they’re trying to force a coup. That squares with what Luongo is saying here. The shit is coming down.
GERALDO: Entire Presidency Defined By Snitches And Rats And Backstabbers…
One of the few headline observations this focktard might’ve gotten correct.
US politics has turned into a zero sum game.
The ProgTards are playing to win but they don’t seem to understand the consequences of the “long game” compared to the short-term gains they might net. There will be hell to pay for their short-sightedness either way.
Hopefully the consequences will include ropes and lampposts. Bottom line is they don’t think we’ll do anything. Simply turn in tens of millions of ARs, hundreds of millions of magazines and billions of rounds of ammo. I don’t think so!
What they believe is that the average American will react as Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, or that Flake guy.
The dems/progs only want power. What we have here is a core group that believes once they overthrow the current power structure and implant their progressive/communist system that they will be in control and live the great life while the proles stand in line for food and shoes, if there are any. What those little power grabbers don’t realize is that they are Lenin’s useful idiots who are used to gain control and once control is established those folk will be destroyed and replaced. It has always been this way.
Lenin also feared that unless other countries went communist, his own revolution would be doomed to collapse under economic failure.
This drove him to try something new at the time: a special corps of “useful idiots.” (The term is actually not Lenin’s, but that of economist Ludwig von Mises.) These foot soldiers would push his revolution in every country — co-opting and subverting democratic processes, fomenting strikes, installing secret armies and, above all, propagandizing according to Moscow’s dictates.
The author is so full of shit, I don’t know where to begin.
CONgress was overthrown quite some time ago, in 1975 and in 2003, so what the fuck would the overthrow of the executive matter?
This is the same kind of misdirection I see out of Kevin Shipp and the other limited hangout/misdirection artists. Going after the “deep state” is laughable/pointless when CONgress has been owned and neutralized for many years. Which teleprompter reader inhabits the White House is also of very little consequence.

I think the point is, 22, that it is all just now coming out in the open; or, at least, more than ever before. Like in the below Frank Zappa quote, we are now actually begining to see the veritable brick wall at the back of the theater.
That’s precisely the point. Americans have been taught government is their benefactor. Government has their back. It looks like we’ll soon see the real face of government: a grey faced wolf with dead eyes and its claws dripping with blood.
“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
If you cant win an election just stage a coup and fuck the rule of law. I think the Democrat/socialist are destroying the country. Think of the damage being done to our system. Accepting the election results becomes a thing of the past. I think this all becoming more than everyone is talking about.
Well i am selling my home and cashing out and buying an expensive property in the country, farm, land etc. I will mortgage it so when the collapse comes i will be out of the city and flush with cash and ask for loan forgiveness otherwise surely the place will get moldy quick and be run down. Surely because i will make sure its useless if its taken from me….completely useless as in nothing will grow in such salty land…like scorched earth useless. You feelz me.

TPTB realize that they can’t just shoot Trump in the head like they did JFK on 22Nov1963, blame some scapegoat, and engineer a Cover-up. So they are using their Deep State and MSM traitors to try to slander and legally harass Trump “to death”. Unfortunately the Truth about the murder of JFK was slow to surface and people did not rise up and hang the Traitors; and neither have they been so inclined to hang Deep State Traitors since Trump’s election. Should liberals elect a Communist POTUS and Senate in Nov2020, the Useful Idiots will be committing national political Suicide by Election: they will effectively be inviting insane Leftist Fascist Rule like Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Chavez, Maduro, Ortega, Pol Pot, Mugabe, Mobuto, Idi Amin, etc and they will experience what Fascist do to their own Useful Idiots and Useless Eaters.
BUT…BUT…MURKA…Muh 4D Chess!!!
Another day, and another chip in the foundations of Western Civilization.
But, hey. You got your iphone, and junk food, what more do you need?
They are backing us in a corner hoping for violence of some kind from traditional Americans so they can justify locking us down.The “shit will hit the fan ”
sooner then most us realize. I have been going to left wing websites
And they are planning wide spread
Riots and civil unrest across the nation if Trump wins the next election. Just stay away from the big urban areas .I think some cities are going to burn.
Let them start the shitshow. Hopefully the right wont start it but will end it
If the Dems are thrown out of office that would leave the Pubs in control. That would hardly be good news. What we have are corrupt pols, corrupt media, corrupt corporations, corrupt Hollywood, and a whole lotta corrupt/idiotic voters. And the resolution is? Violence most likely will ensue and to what end is hard to predict, but people tend to value safety over freedom and who offers that but thugs disguised as savior-type strongman “leaders.”
He spewed, “Too bad he’s nearly as bad as the ones he’s fighting on the far left.”
Really? Fuck you.
The Return of the Jedi…
This is being buried today by youtube in search engines.
Just thought I’d give it a boost.
A tyical report by lamestream media..
Notice how they don’t report on the content of speech, rather they just focus on the protests outside..

I’m getting overwhelmed at the amount of information coming out concerning the swamp’s final swing at removing the president of the United States.
For years the country has been in a holding pattern over the course the country will take, but within the last week, it looks like we are in a final approach and the landing will indeed be bumpy.
For years it’s been “release the documents,” but with no effort to do so. With the now unstoppable impeachment looming on the horizon, either the gloves will come off, or we have been duped into following an imposter this entire time.
All the elements of “gunfight at the OK corral” are coming together now, it won’t be long before we will know who will be captain of the ship of state as we head into the economic hurricane that is right before us. The only way we will make it through is if the ship is sound and not leaking like a sieve as the waves become stronger.
It’s the time we have been waiting for, no more wondering if MAGA is real or not, there will be only one winner and the victor will be known before the end of the year.
The behind the scenes cold war raging between the Trump admin and the CIA run congress is getting dangerously close to becoming hot.
