Lurking in the Woodwork

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

As is always the case, history the trickster is taking us to a place we didn’t expect to go. Personally, I don’t lose a lot of sleep over Klaus Schwab, the James Bond villain who runs the World Economic Forum (WEF) and is behind the widely touted Great Reset campaign. The Great Reset proposes to reorganize all human endeavor going forward from the top town, directed by an elite cohort of technocrat commissars, to produce a “green” utopia — mainly for their own benefit.

It’s an elaborate joke, really. The human project is surely going somewhere. The direction is determined not by technocrat megalomaniacs but by the process called emergence, which means a self-organizing reality of more dynamic forces than any coterie of megalomaniacs could hope to control. These dynamic forces are not necessarily hidden; many are working in plain sight and you can make pretty good guesses as to what’s up with them. But they control the gameboard, not Klaus and his legion of economist-engineer nerds.

One of the forces at work is our old friend from physics class: entropy, the god of disorder, randomness, and uncertainty. He is very active lately in American affairs especially, to the degree that we have no workable consensus for running this society, so that all our standards and institutions are crumbling. It’s gotten so bad that we don’t even get the news about the crumbling because The News is one of the institutions that has fallen apart. Instead of events relayed in packets that comport with reality, we get “narratives” uniformly concocted in bad faith, that are knowingly in non-compliance with reality — which is as opposite as can possibly be from what The News once aimed to do.

The worst thing about the Trump years was that he enabled his adversaries to get away with turning bad faith into the greatest virtue of all. That’s what you got in the connivance of the anti-Trump Deep Staters and The News bringing you three years of RussiaGate, Robert Mueller’s coverup operation for RussiaGate, and Rep. Adam Schiff lying his ass off without any penalty. And now you’re getting more of it courtesy of Attorney General Merrick Garland allowing political adventurers like Deputy AG Lisa Monaco go fishing for charges against Rudy Giuliani for the express purpose of burying him in “the process” and leaving him bankrupt. The Justice Department is a broken institution now, and there isn’t enough good will or good faith around these days to put it back together.

The Woke hysteria, on the other hand, is lately revealed to be a patent hustle, and is finally inviting pushback in the schools as parents begin to loudly object to “white privilege” struggle sessions for eight-year-olds and workshopping sexual confusion with children who are not ready for any version of sex, real or fake. The Great Reset’s connection to Wokery can be seen in the efforts of George Soros to finance the elections of district attorneys around the country, and that game is unwinding as their blatant incompetence is revealed. Kim Gardner, installed in St. Louis, now faces losing her law license for the malicious prosecution of former Governor Eric Greitens.

The Missouri Supreme Court is conducting the investigation. A recall effort is underway to recall Soros-backed LA DA George Gascon, who doesn’t believe in prosecuting criminals. And the DA-equivalent, State’s Attorney, in Chicago (Cook County), Kim Fox, another Soros installation, is on the rocks not just for covering up the Jussie Smollett hoax, but for allowing the county to become a free fire zone. What was Mr. Soros thinking?

Whoever thought a year ago that the fumbling old hack Joe Biden would be sitting in the oval office, fronting for his old boss, Barack Obama? Don’t you wonder how much Mr. Obama has in some fashion been behind all the culturally-destructive shenanigans since he “retired” across town to his Kalorama stronghold? Do you wonder how much of the shadowy activity in the DOJ has simply been an effort to protect Mr. Obama? The former president has done a good job of seeming to disappear into the woodwork. I think before long we’ll understand the role he continues to play in the country’s affairs, and it’s going to be an unappetizing discovery. It might provoke a whole different kind of reset.

Auntie thinks “woodpile” would be the more appropriate description of where who-is-hiding is hiding. Other than that, and Jim’s non concern with the evil Klaus and Company, he is correct about the forces of nature being ultimately in charge.

The world is really between the Scylla and Charybdis of economic plus resource profligacy; the shoals are the imminent destination. Abandon ship will be the next notice. (To the lifeboats!)

A jew married my aunt. He was a former brit and a godly man. I asked him about the goy thing after reading Chaim Potok novels. He was not wealthy and worked as a bellhop in Miami Beach. He said that most jews are trained in Hebrew school that they are to be masters over the lesser humans. Non jews. Many but not most jews reject that thinking. They are driven to succeed, true. But how many dual citizen sociopaths inhabit our media, government,
And entertainment industry, as a poster by a former name has pointed out in depth. Israel should put on the big boy pants and stand on its own feet but it is cheaper for them to have our country go to war for it and give their government billions per year even though their citizens have a greater per capita income than our country.

Israel is not a friend of the USA as it has spies throughout our military. I know this first hand.

So blow me.

Yes Yahsure, there will always be those who suspect the influence of the Jewish fraternity because they are so damned bright and get everwhere. But, although I have little love for Arabs in general, I do think that the Palestinians get a raw deal in Israel at present.

The alternative solutions appeal to neither party. Two separate states is a non-starter because of Jerusalem where both sides claim it as their right – religious or otherwise. And peaceful coexistence is dead from the get go.

I have rattled my brains to try and think about a workable alternative to regular scraps – beats me – I guess Jim’s solution will play out in the end with much gnashing and wailing.

You miss the point. Emergent forces. These things will not be resolved by getting the right people in the right offices. It will not be resolved by systemic tweaks.
It will only be resolved by reality reasserting itself. By nonsense revealing itself to be nonsense. By the widespread realization of how Civilization really works.
And the only way that happens is by by massive, widespread suffering. We’ve had it much too easy for much too long and it has corrupted us.
It’s like cultural gangrene…maybe a bandaid and some antispetic would have saved us 50 years ago. Maybe a major amputation would save us now, but we won’t do it for a whole host of reasons.
I’m not the first one to say that we live in a tinderbox…the system can only add more tinder. It’s not just inevitable that one day it will go up, its necessary.
In any case, the answer is not Trump and a new and better cabinet and maybe some better policy. That train has sailed.

It certainly is gratifying to see good folk pushing back, especially on the local level, with the hi-viz school board confrontations.

They seem to fold like a cheap card table, under pressure.

Except when they hide behind the cops, of course.

I would guess because they actually live in the communities they “serve” and have to interact with the very people shouting (shutting) them down in PUBLIC meetings.

The best government is small and close to the people.

Remember how the folks went after the politicians over 0bamacare and how the congresscritters soon quit having open meetings with constituents? They are used to lobbyists coming to their offices with envelops full of the mother’s milk of politics, not the mere voters who demand they represent the beliefs of the district. School boards and city councils live and shop in the area and are faced with their constituents on a daily basis.

I consider this an example of why the 17th amendment has been so destructive. There would be no income tax, no Federal Reserve with legislature appointed Senators. Repeal the 17th amendment.

The 17th Amendment gutted States’ Rights, however the 16th Amendment had already been passed, bringing with it the income tax. When the 17th was ratified, it started the explosive growth of government. I doubt we could control the government with the 17th repealed. Big money has gotten their hooks into government and will not ever let go until they are stopped by financial crisis or revolution

Agreed TNP – I too support localised government where the people can see the whites of the politicians eyes – nothing better to reveal the truth. I am hoping that eventually the goddamn centralised, dysfunctional mega-governments disappear up their own orifices and we can revert to small government, sound money (local economics), and free markets.

“These dynamic forces are not necessarily hidden; many are working in plain sight and you can make pretty good guesses as to what’s up with them. But they control the gameboard,”

Up is down. Left is Right. Right is wrong. Judaism is Christianity. Christianity is Judaism. All religions are the same. Tolerance is our strength and diversity our savior. All lies eventually lead to the same place. Permanent separation from God. Tune your inner antenna to Christ. The truth will set you free.

Ephesians 6:12
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

” By their fruits ye shall know them

My Nation Blessed Israel and All I Got Was a Mulatto Tranny Grandchild

When I was a child in the 1990s, evangelical preachers and televangelists were claiming that God would “bless” a nation that “blesses” the genocidal Jew state of Israel.

Yet, here were are, 30 years later, and America has consistently “blessed” Israel. We have given them hundreds of billions of dollars over the last decades, and we have spent trillions fighting wars for them. Our boys have been sent to be maimed and to die in the name of Israel. Our government’s entire foreign policy is built around promoting the interests of Israel. We have also allowed Jews who live in America to operate unhindered, and to take over all of our institutions.

Once a religion that condemned the Jews as the murderers and rejecters of Christ, American Christianity has continued a process of being restructured to set Israel and the Jews at the center of it. Any given evangelical pastor is more likely to discuss Israel, and the importance of helping the Jews, than he is to discuss real world problems America faces. American Christians accepted the reclassification of Christianity as “Judeo-Christianity.”

America has engaged in an Israel-blessing orgy for decades, when traditional Christians were cleansed from the Republican Party and the conservative movement as a whole….

The implication of the massive dip in the quality of American life and the American experience is that God doesn’t actually bless nations that bless Israel. In fact, the assumption would have to be that God dooms nations that bless Israel.

This raises the obvious question, of course: which god is that?

Unless and until you understand that the religious Jews worship the god of this world, not God the Father of Jesus Christ, and that their current objective is to destroy a) Christianity, b) Western Civilization, and c) Russia, you will never understand how and why the United States doomed itself by failing to sink the ships before WWI and after WWII. You will also not understand why the USA is almost certainly going to find itself fighting wars with both Russia and China in the next decade, and why it will lose those wars, unless it collapses of its own internal contradictions first.

If you don’t believe me, force yourself to read Ben Shapiro’s most recent book. You will be unable to avoid noticing how the entire purpose of the book is to subvert and redefine, not only America, but Western Civilization itself. If Americans wish to survive as a nation, they must turn back to Jesus Christ. And that is the one thing that “those who bless Israel” are absolutely determined to prevent, regardless of what they profess themselves to be.

A refusal to take a strong stand against those who reject God and serve the devil is not a virtue for anyone, least of all the Christian. As for “judeochristianity”, it would be more honestly labeled as “pharisatanry”.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

– John 8: 42-47
