Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
One might ask: why is it so easy to put over narratives on at least half the people in this country? Here’s the answer: because we are living in a time when nothing adds up and there are no consequences — but especially no consequences for the folks in charge of things that don’t add up.
For instance, the January 6 riot at the US Capitol building. The Deep State axis of interests — politicians, permanent bureaucrats, Beltway contractors, K-Street influencers, shady international NGOs, and most of the news media — needed something that would overrule objections to certifying the election. They got what they needed in just the right place for it to happen, the very house of Congress. The objection procedure was neatly sabotaged.
The riot launched Donald Trump back into civilian life under a cloud of odium, labeled an “insurrectionist.” It enabled the Democrats to paint their opponents as “domestic terrorists” and manufacture a narrative that America was under attack by “white supremacists.” Troops occupying the center of Washington since Joe Biden’s inauguration are there to reinforce the story that the government is “under siege.” The tech companies de-platform anyone who writes about or speaks of “election fraud.” Next, the new regime cooks up legislation to intensify surveillance of US citizens. Worked out perfectly for the Party of Orwell.
Have we gotten a satisfactory accounting of exactly who led the incursion inside the building? I don’t think so, though after three weeks you’d think the FBI could have ID’d many of the characters captured on thousands of videos posted online. Everybody knows the guy in the horned helmet now, one Jacob Chansley (a.k.a Jake Angeli), but he was a very conspicuous street agitator in Phoenix, AZ, well-known to the FBI before January 6 and there’s reason to believe he has been playing more than one side in this game. The DC federal attorney, Michael Sherwin, says they have a list of 400 suspects. Any hints about their actual affiliations? Of course not. By the way, the authorities still haven’t identified the Capitol Police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt dead. Is it a state secret, or what?
Any chance that Antifa or BLM were involved on the scene that day? How is it possible that they would forego the opportunity to mix in with the MAGA crowd and make some trouble happen on Capitol Hill? What could have been easier, or more obvious? All they had to do was put on a red hat. One we know for sure is John Sullivan, the founder of Insurgence USA, a BLM spinoff, but mainly because he also happened to be an attention-whore who went on CNN afterward where Anderson Cooper introduced him to the nation as “a left-wing activist.” Was he the only left-wing activist on duty at the Capitol that day? Somehow, I doubt it.
The New York Times, mouthpiece of Wokery, is working triple overtime to sell the narrative of white supremacists on the loose. Anyone to the right of Woke is now an enemy of the state. Last time I looked, it was Antifa and BLM tearing up the streets, setting federal courthouses and police stations on fire, looting stores, destroying businesses, and injuring policemen — in the case of Portland, OR, and Seattle, WA, all summer long. Democrats somehow omitted to label them as any kind of threat to the public interest. Vice-president Kamala Harris (then-senator), led a campaign to raise bail money for Antifas and BLMs arrested during last year’s riots. Woke District Attorney’s dropped charges against hundreds of them. Governors and mayors sat on their hands. There were no consequences for any of that.
If anything, the political right-wing of the USA has shown miraculous self-restraint through four years of FBI / DOJ / CIA sedition, tech company tyranny, impeachment chicanery, and the rage-fueled calumnies of Pelosi and Company, all aggravated by questionable Covid-19 lockdowns, and climaxing in a fraud-inflected election that has not had been subject to any adequate judicial audit.
How much of the current artificial hysteria these first weeks of the “Biden” regime is designed to divert attention from the question of who is actually running Joe Biden? My guess would be Barack Obama via Susan Rice, Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council and formerly Mr. Obama’s National Security Advisor. I would suppose that Ms. Rice is on the phone with Mr. Obama bright and early every morning, and for more than casual conversation. She is surely plugged into the rest of the Obama network, too, in effect a shadow government, which may explain the seeming flimsiness of the crew assembled around Joe Biden. Seems to work for now. But how many weeks will go by before the whole country realizes that Mr. Biden is not actually functioning as president?

I’ll post the same comment that I posted at Kunstler’s site.
Greetings,
None of this matters anymore as the real story is what is going on with Gamestop. It was easy to tell people that the fraud they witnessed with their own eyes wasn’t really election fraud especially given that 30% of the country gleefully went along with it because Orange Man Bad.
It is a lot harder to look the other way when the White House orders Ameritrade, Robinhood and Wells Fargo to lock customers out of their accounts while their property is illegally sold. Best yet, as their property was being stolen, they (the people trading on Robinhood) were called NAZI’s and white supremacists.
What we witnessed yesterday was the first shot in the revolution. That genie can never be put back in the bottle.
The elites think that a people’s rebellion will be like an old-time revolution with dirt people parading to the seat of power with torches and pitchforks. That’s why they stationed all those troops in DC and fenced off the capital for our new President’s inauguration. It’s also why the fences and troops aren’t leaving. The elites are afraid of the common folk.
But in this modern era, that’s not how the revolution is going to play out. It will be high-tech gorilla warfare. The Gamestop sage is just one battle. A bunch of low-life commoners found a hole in the elite’s system and exploited it.
The elite’s system is so heavily based on technology that there are not enough security experts named Ajay and Sahib to protect the cloud people. We are in for a very entertaining decade.
“gorilla warfare”
Big Mike’s involved??
Yes indeed. They are now being called “stock insurrectionists.” How dare the unwashed not just put up their money, bend over and grab the ankles? Blocked or locked from accounts=cannot buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast?
Fake news. Fake ballots. Deplatforming for asking questions. Stolen election. Now, if one beats the street on an investment stunt, they must be banned from participation in the public markets? Once again the little guy is shoved around and robbed in broad daylight while the connected get refunded or made whole by the system paid for by the little guy. The Oligarchy has shown its face and we need to punch it HARD.
Sand versus Gears.
There’s a lot more sand than gears. Throw it.
Oh, then Silver and the Hunt brothers were also an early first shot?
Guys, get real.
This will be “fixed” by changing the rules mid-game, as always.
“The objection procedure was neatly sabotaged.”
No, apparently everything S. Powell and Lin Wood spoke about was all just politics….nothing to it.
“The riot launched Donald Trump back into civilian life under a cloud of odium, labeled an “insurrectionist.” It enabled the Democrats to paint their opponents as “domestic terrorists” and manufacture a narrative that America was under attack by “white supremacists.””
Seemed so obvious that the Emperor would have noticed the lax security assigned to handle a million Donald Xiben ‘supporters’….or is it Joe Trump? I can’t keep them straight anymore….
“But how many weeks will go by before the whole country realizes that Mr. Biden is not actually functioning as president?”
Trick question, right?

What if the uniparty goal is CHAOS ?
I think this article is stating the obvious of what we already know and have spoken about repeatedly. The communists have told us all openly in addition to the public displays of sedition, there is simply no reason for them to even try and hide their corruption and hatred against conservatives any longer.
Its going to get far more chaotic, its how the communists will justify the chains of iron that are coming.
I saw that sick asshat Schumer yesterday in an interview literally fantasizing/drooling about what they were going to do to “us” and how they needed to deal with us. He looked like frigging Monty Burns. He is one ugly fuquere.
Smithers is McConnel
Hehehe.
Millions will be liquidated because TPTB don’t need Useless idiot voters anymore now that they have Dominion Inc. Take the shot Maggots and save TPTB a lot of Welfare dollars. The Oligarchs don’t need the Middle Class either; slaves will be hauled around in self driving “prison cars” and robots will do the work.
Without going into the obvious fraudulent aspects of the 2020 Selection it should be evident to even the dumbest of the dumb..which are legion…that it was only in the swing states where you had a massive surge that turned the selection to Comrade Joe.
Oh, oh. “You in a heap o’ trouble now boy.”
Bigger shit seeking a bigger fan?
I worked in both the House and the Senate and in the U.S. Crapitol and I can tell you beyond a doubt that the building is one of the most secure buildings in the world. It is impossible that anyone breached the building against the wishes of the capitol police. It was a false flag attack designed to flip the insurrection charge against Trump. Really quite brilliant if not a bit transparent. Without the corporate media flying cover for the establishment it never would have worked. The corporate media continues to betray our country.
Special attention should be paid to their vehicles and occupants when you see them come to your town. Welcome them warmly.
Whenever I try to overthrow the government of a nuclear-armed superpower, I always send in an unarmed guy in a Viking hat to steal a podium.
AOC is now complaining that Ted Cruz tried to have her murdered. She just hates him because he’s Mexican. She’s such a racist.
If the intent had been to go in there and kill them, they would all right now be dead. Anybody who thinks this was a military decapitation raid is dumber than a pile of Pelosi.
As evidence, look at all the MSM BS artists, RINOs and Dhimmicrats crowing how they had their lives flash before their eyes when they saw the red, white and blue buffalo man.
January 6th was a planned distraction and it’s ludicrous to think some co-opted asshole in colored paint and horns is associated with a national threat … but this is how far the Left in the US has fallen. They want everyone else to believe the Grand Illusion their own paranoia has caused.
If you don’t believe, then you’re part of the problem.

In all the time I’ve visited here, I’ve seen scarce attention paid to why this seems to go unabated with a simple mantra of “Fake News”. I have looked for response several times (look at the considered input around here) as to the Smith/Mundt Act of 1948:
“Passed the Senate on January 16, 1948 (Passed) with amendment. House agreed to Senate amendment on January 19, 1948 (Passed) Signed into law by President Harry S. Truman on January 27, 1948. The U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (Public Law 80-402), popularly called the Smith–Mundt Act, is the basic legislative authorization for propaganda activities conducted by the U.S. Department of State, sometimes called ” public diplomacy “”
Years later, when the baton was passed to Manchurian BHO, we got an update with the Smith/Mundt Modernization Act at the beginning of his second term:
“The U.S. Agency for Global Media and the media organizations that it supports can now make their content available in broadcast quality upon request within the United States. This is due to a law that went into effect on July 2, 2013, amending the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, known as the Smith-Mundt Act. Amending Smith-Mundt for this purpose was part of the strategic plan adopted in 2011 by the governing board overseeing the then BBG.”
At the link below, there are 8 “frequently asked questions” with answers and hyperlinks…..#7:
“Q. But won’t the Defense Department now be at liberty to spread propaganda in the United States thanks to this new legislation?
A. No. The U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 does not apply to the Defense Department, and neither do the subsequent amendments.”
I saw a poster goes by ‘Blue’ simply post it’s name the other day…..no responses to that comment either.
The baton is passed to Emperor Orange Man Bad, and as I said above, the mantra of MAGA includes 4 yrs. of “Fake News !!” and 4D chess; but by an ‘out maneuvering’ action of the Hegelian Left, the MAGA Man (who made ‘poor’ judgements in his repeated swamp appointments) is now left all alone, powerless, surrounded-and must now submit to the ‘fake fraudulent foreign hacked election results’ and pass the baton on to Dementia Joe, who, while campaigning from his basement covid bunker, has mastered the ability to sign his name.
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <—-==== CHAOS is the goal
ordo ab chao
Always find your comments interesting, one only has to look back to the flag of the East India Company to see who really runs this country. There is nothing new under the sun.
If possible take time to read this old Charles Spurgeon sermon from 1862. It really has a way of putting one back on the right path.
Joey Xidan is just happy to have his nappies changed and be given his bawdle when he starts crying. Please he is stuck with meds to jolt him to signing his name and then rolled back into his crib.
Money quote: “… the political right wing of the USA has shown miraculous restraint….”. Yeah. Miraculous. Almost like they were…paid… to act “restrained”. Or maybe there was never any desire to be off the leash, thus no restraining was necessary. Maybe there isn’t really any such thing in the US as a real, potent “right wing” anything, just a bunch of LARPers, poseurs, and scammers providing entertainment for the old white folk in the cheap seats.
Fucking clown world. Vote Bozo!
