Talkin’ Turkey

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

Only a few years ago, the nation seemed sturdy enough that its very existence would not be called to question. Now, not so much. In 2016, the elite, blue, coastal oligarchy was too smugly self-satisfied with its correctness-in-all-things — especially its right to power — to bother rigging the election beyond the usual urban ward-level hijinks in the usual places. But then, Hillary lost to Mr. Trump via the inside straight of his bagging the swing states electoral votes without winning the national popular vote.

They sure weren’t going to let that happen again, and thus the weird spectacle this time of wee hour vote-tallying suspensions followed by improbable ballot pump-and-dumps in favor of Ol’ White Joe Biden, the most inert, empty, uncharismatic presidential candidate ever conjured by any conclave of scheming cabalists in US history. (Next to Joe Biden, Warren G. Harding was an American Augustus.) And so, the 2020 vote was rigged to the rafters, just to make sure that the outcome this time would bend towards the Democrats’ beloved arc of justice.

The legal battle over that brazen theft has incited some exciting fightin’ phrases, mostly coming from freelance attorney Sidney Powell, an informal adjunct to the president’s official lawyers, Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani. Miz Powell has promised to “release the kraken” and “blow up Georgia” in a “Biblical” firestorm of fatal writs, “fixing to overturn the results of this election” — leaving us early this week in the spooky eye of post-election sturm-and-drang, with the real action yet to come.

The president and the RNC lost a bunch of state court cases the past week and, naturally, that discouraged the pro-Trump troops across “red” America — which is mostly everything between Hackensack and Fresno. But these weak pleadings might have been designed to simply speed the process through the states so as to get the main arguments before the US Supreme Court, namely, that the foreign-owned Dominion vote tabulation company was pre-programmed to overcome any Trump lead; that the Dominion software was originally created to queer elections and indeed used many times to do just that in foreign lands; and that US election officials with their poll-worker grunts in select states connived to cover the fraud with as many unverifiable write-in votes as the job required. And then, evidence-as-proof!

If the SCOTUS agrees to hear the case — a big “if” — they may be extremely reluctant to rule affirmatively because 1) they’ll be venturing into a poorly-mapped constitutional frontier, and 2) the recent confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, installing a conservative super-majority on the court, will look as much like a setup to the red staters as the Dominion vote fraud looks like a setup to the blues. But then, if the case is strong enough, SCOTUS does have the legal prerogative to de-certify state elections, sinking both candidates below the 270 electoral vote mark and rolling the giant, reeking hairball into the House of Representatives where Mr. Trump would enjoy a distinct advantage. Cue Antifa and BLM….

It’s not known exactly what further evidence Miz Powell and the president’s lawyers will bring to the SCOTUS — beyond what has already surfaced on the Internet, which is pretty eyebrow-raising. The news media has made a big show of calling for it, and caviling loudly when the lawyers say they’re holding back until the court is ready to entertain the case. It’s hard to imagine that Miz Powell and Mr. Giuliani would sacrifice their reputations on some kind of bluff. Anyway, what’s to bluff in this game? I don’t believe this trio would bring a whiffle bat to a gunfight.

One result of these final innings in the contest will be the delegitimizing of Ol’ White Joe Biden as president, should his forces finally prevail. Half of America will not only refuse to buy it, but it will incite a counter-resistance on the right as determined as Hillary’s pussyhat brigades and bureaucrat activists of the post-2016 era, and possibly more bloodthirsty, especially if the left makes a move to confiscate guns. The prospect of Joe Biden functioning as president is a joke, anyway. Have you forgotten his non-campaign campaign? The empty parking lots with the white circles? The pitiful gaffes? And lurking in this fog of war is the all that odious monkey business selling influence abroad involving crack-head son Hunter and the rest of the Biden family. Think that’s going away?

What you’d actually get with a Biden “victory” is a Deep State junta of malicious, coercive, and vengeance-crazed characters such as John Brennan, Andrew Weissmann, Nancy Pelosi, Susan Rice, and Adam Schiff, with Barack Obama hovering somewhere backstage, commanding this-and-that — even if President Ole White Joe is shoved aside on account of mental incompetence, leaving Kamala Harris in the Oval Office to giggle through the next four years while she orchestrates junior-high-school style mean girl campaigns against the enemies of Wokesterism. The DC “blob” has demonstrated that it doesn’t need no steenkin’ president to work its wicked will.

Meanwhile, have a lovely Home Alone Thanksgiving, if you are dutifully following the orders of Governors Cuomo, Pritzker, Whitmer, Murphy, and Newsom. We’ll dare to have seven at the table here, and therefore not have to eat some reincarnation of turkey for three weeks afterward. As a holiday bonus, I leave you with a little burlesque submitted by a reader wishing to remain anonymous for your amusement, as follows….

Stuffing and gravy is the new Samizdat, comrades.

This shit-show shall continue past Christmas and even New Year , to add excitement to the masked and terrified Plandemic Lumpen as they cower on their saran-wrapped couches binge watching Communist News Network, More Stupid Nonsense, The View and Shreck 15 reruns.

For me, the ends identify the agenda. Covid has nothing to do with covid because the end result was the largest transfer of wealth in world history and the destruction of the small business owner. Ergo, that must have been the agenda from the start. The problem is that the people that trade time for fiat fully support all of this because they were bribed with $1200 and $1k a week unemployment. We know this to be true because consumer spending actually went up during the lockdown as the workers took their bribe money and bought big screen tvs, new phones and gaming consoles. Amazing huh? If you are like me then you didn’t get any of this cash because the PPP grants were gone before the banks even had the applications up on their websites and the State refuses to see you as unemployed because YOU own a business and are employed regardless of whether or not you can actually open your business. At least that is how it went down for me.

As crazy as it sounds, I know an awful lot of people that welcome more restrictions and lockdowns because it will mean a continuation of rent moratoriums, more “free” vacations, more unemployment and the possibility of more stimulus checks.

What little there is left of the middle class is being thrown under the bus. That, and only that, is what this is all about.

For many years now, I’ve been saying people will eventually only have 3 choices. 1 – work for the government 2 – work for a corporation or 3 – go on the dole.

4 – work for yourself. Be creative… ?

That was my point. It can be very difficult to work for yourself if the government can declare you to be non-essential. What if I chose to own some rental properties? We just witnessed that the CDC can declare a rent moratorium in the name of stopping an illness with a 99.94% survival rate. How about if you want to own your own restaurant, bar, gym, clothing store or indoor handgun range?

No man is an island and even if I happen to be creative I will still need a supply and distribution chain that can not be shut down on a whim.

Mygirl....maybe?

I am self-employed, you need a market and people with money to buy what I make. No money in those pockets? Too bad.
If the government keeps shutting down businesses or severely restricts them then the government is destroying the economy and doing so on purpose. The end goal is communism, pure and simple. Globalism IS communism. Look at how communism destroyed people and the environment, how the proletariat was kept in poverty while the party elite lived like royalty.
There are entirely too many people who like and WANT the government to take care of them. Cradle to grave welfare. They are content with their bread and circuses, so long as their basic needs are covered, why worry?
Note how the moratoriums NEVER extend to taxes, property taxes, government fees and fines and levies? They will prevent you from earning a living while forcing you to continue to feed the system. Don’t pay taxes? Enjoy the gun….comment image

Exactly right. Restrictions for thee, not me.

grace country pastor

I’ve always been self employed. Sell things people need or want very badly. No matter how bad things get a creative person can relatively thrive even in dire circumstances. Why such a defeatist attitude here? Discover the agorist economy. I get that no man is an island unto himself; what a horrible existence.

I see what’s happening. The rule of law is long gone. TLPTB (thank you Mark) want us frozen, immobilized, utterly dependent. Many will become so. Others however, like me, will locate one another and find ways to get along outside the system “they” have been creating for a very long time. Always have, always will, until…

One day, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, we’ll be gone… ?

Or, they’ll come for me and kill my body, and I’ll be gone… ?

Either way, I win! These people who want to destroy all things good and decent; their end is ultimate destruction. My end is Life, come what may here!

If that’s “glib”, so be it. I call it the hope of glory! I call it ultimate freedom! Y’all call it whatever you like.
