Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
I’ll tell you what’s really funny: the new Sam Harris “Making Sense” podcast with Dr. Eric Topol, veep of Scripps Research. These two just can’t make sense of why the folks outside their Southern California smuggery bubble have any reservations about getting vaxed-up against Covid-19. It’s like a mental illness to them — all these selfish, Trump-driven, flag-smooching ignoramouses beyond the pale of Wokery, who are putting at risk their science-loving betters in the PhD hives of the New Normal, while that King Kong of Covid variants (code-name Delta) rages through the hillsides and canyons beneath Mullholland Drive. The insolence! Can’t these morons just follow simple instructions (available 24/7 at CNN)?
Okay, here’s why, Sam and Eric: Because every institution in American life has squandered its credibility in the service of a political program that seeks to destroy whatever used to be worth caring about in Western Civ, including free thought, free speech, free inquiry, free movement, truth, beauty, and the right to resist official coercion. Half the country has no trust in the government’s public health apparatus, led by the — shall we say — slippery Dr. Anthony Fauci. Should they believe NPR? The New York Times? CBS-News? Should they follow every bob and judder of Rachel Maddow’s Adam’s apple? Should they swallow every globule of obvious horse-shit served up by Jen Psaki?
Hey Sam and Eric, have you followed what went on in the US Department of Justice and the FBI the past five years, these supposed redoubts of rectitude? The manufactured “Russian Collusion” hoax? The official lying to FISA courts? The malicious prosecutions? The transparently seditious activities of CIA agent Eric Ciaramella & Co.? The hiding of Hunter Biden’s evidence-stuffed laptop? The enlistment of Facebook, Twitter, and Google in suppression of the news and censorship of opinion? Do you expect people to believe that the basement-haunting “Joe Biden” won an election with those slim victories in the Wokester-controlled, fraud-drenched city precincts of Philadelphia, Atlanta, Milwaukee, and Detroit? Or that Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray wouldn’t lie about it?
Can you detect something a little off in those aforesaid federal law enforcement agencies allowing BLM and Antifa to destroy over a billion dollars in small business and a bunch of civic infrastructure at will, for months on end, while overcharging felonies on the three-hour US Capitol trespassers you label “insurrectionists?” Can you point out “the science” in the Drag Queen Reading Hour? Is it a sound idea to promote racism in the public schools? And to instruct US military recruits that their nation is, maybe, not worth defending?
And now you want to convince half the country subjected to this tyrannical mind-fuckery to get a poorly-tested mRNA vaccine that might provoke blood clots and organ damage? Against a disease apparently manufactured under the sponsorship of our own government? I have to tell you, Sam and Eric, that your expectations are bit out-of-synch with the march of events. That half of the country not in thrall to your narratives won’t submit to your supposedly superior powers of reasoning and your empathic, nurturing concern for their well-being. They are quite convinced, based on a shit-ton of evidence and lived experience, that they are being played by a degenerate regime not at all run in their interests… that lies to them reflexively and incessantly.
What’s more, they want their country back — a land of free speech, fair play, and settled principle, like the right to a speedy trial. And here’s something else to consider, Sam and Eric: if the regime that you support goes a step further, as is looking more likely day by day, and if it moves to make these mRNA vaccines mandatory, it is going to pull the pin that detonates a national grenade. And when that happens, you and your Woke-Jacobin confederates will be on the run for a change, worrying about your own cancellation and whether, perhaps, it will get a fair hearing. You have the right to hope so.
We are slip-sliding toward that terrible moment. And, you better remember that that this strife over Covid-19 is but one part of a much bigger picture of evolving national woe. Looming beyond this mere skirmish over public health is an economy that has sunk into uniform racketeering, the disgraceful mismanagement of government spending, the specter of a dying currency, the developing quandaries for our food supply, the probability of a market blowup that will bring down the pension system and destroy the notional wealth of millions, and the growing antagonism of foreign polities who resent our badly-discharged power around the world and sense our growing weakness.

Damn, Jim! That was OUTSTANDING. Like molten verbal rage.
Spot fucking on
Excellent rant. I wonder if you could work in “execrable half-wits” somewhere. It always gives me a smile for some reason.
Let’s all support the Free States of Middle America!
Rage at the dying of the light!

This is a nice version…
that was brilliant!
one thing one can observe as this shitstorm is progressing is that people are sorting out what side theyre on and getting less bashful about it. the globohomos and their drones are getting to where almost the moment they see anyone not one of them, so much as breathing, get vitriolic and hysterical about ‘fanatics’ and ‘extremists’ even if all one has said to them is ‘good morning’… people trying to resist this shit are starting to figure out what righteous indignation means, and starting to really get the first glimpses of how absolutely enormous a fucking has been dealt out to them for a long long time, and they are starting to finally get pissed off… and when this builds up to a white hot fury some shit is going to give out in a big way. it will not relent until the criminals have been dealt justice.
That was great keep up the good work..
How to get JHK’s tungsten-core, 3000 fps, projectile of truth to everyone for their enlightenment?
Damn! Great rant. Sums up my feelings exactly. The only thing I believe on TeeVee anymore is the weather and they fuck that up half the time.
True that they can not predict the weather half the time, but want us to believe. That the world is gonna end 20 years from now, because of the weather.
With the likes of Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray in charge of federal ‘justice’ and law enforcement, it’s clear that:
the US government has lost the Mandate of Heaven;
and we now have to go all out in electing Republicans.
(just kidding about the Republican shit)
Add in the fact that they won’t investigate Cuomo and the deaths in New York.
Damn, Jim is telling it like it is. Great rant.
Romans 13 no longer applies in the USA, that’s for sure.
The US government has LOST the “Mandate of Heaven”??? In what kind of bizarrely hubristic reality do you exist? When, pray tell, did the US government EVER have ANY mandate from heaven; save for that which the god of this world decrees? The US was founded by freemasons for a critical reason elucidated upon by fat Albert Pike below.
I’ve never seen GCP bring the heat like that before.
Rev. GCP, I lately read the last three chapters of Revelation. As I recall, there is a new heaven and a new earth, and there was no Jerusalem in heaven and no restriction on the Jerusalem that came down and landed on earth to only Jews.
Maybe you can provide some insight. Does Revelations, chapters 21 and 22 (the last two) fit the Dispensationalism view, and if so how?
Please don’t refer to any man as Reverend, ever. That name is reserved for God alone.
Psalm 111:9 KJB… “He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.”
Answer: very much so. The two-fold purpose of God; the redemption of earth via Israel and the redemption of heaven via the body of Christ.
The city that comes from heaven, the bride of Christ, will be ruled by the generation that “shall not pass”; they will be resurrected and seated upon 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes who will one day be (for 1,000 years) the channel of blessings from God to the nations. Satan removed from heaven, cast into the pit; a new heaven and earth. That Kingdom ruled by Christ Himself and Israel at His side open to any and all who place their faith in what God is doing “at that time”. This is the essence of dispensational theology.
After that, does the dispensation of the fullness of times begin, where all things in heaven AND earth are put together as one, in Christ. The “last verse” of the Bible rightly divided…
Ephesians 1:10 KJB… “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:”
What comes next is what God intended in the first place. A perfect eternal existence with Him and His creation.
That is the most absurdly literal interpretation I’ve ever seen.
“Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul [Redacted]”
Thank you, Mr. GCP. If I understand you then, you understand Revelation and Ephesians to require that the distinction between Jews and non-Jews is transitory and not eternal, as the Jews would have it per their understanding of the Davidic Covenant. That’s interesting.
You’re welcome to call me Ted or just gcp which is of my own choosing, cause that’s all I is… a gcp.
Even though most of the Bible (literally 95%) is about the nation Israel, the Jews, and their relationship with other Gentile nations, God has not always dealt with the world in terms of Jew and Gentile. A quick breakdown…
Gen 1 – 11… 2,000 years; no Jew or Gentile, just mankind.
Gen 12 – Acts 9-28… 2,000 years; Jew and Gentile. Transition period from Acts 9 – 28.
Romans – Philemon (Paul’s mystery epistles)… 2,000 years; neither Jew nor Gentile, just mankind.
Hebrews – Revelation… 1,000 years; Jew and Gentile. This time period is yet a future occurrence. New heaven and earth at Rev’s end.
Eph 1:10… dispensation of the fullness of times; eternity.
Very basic dispensational Bible breakdown.
You don’t mind calling yourself pastor or others calling you pastor but don’t call anyone Reverend. You’ve railed against titles in the past but call me pastor is fine. Got it.
APPLAUSE BREAK.
Clapping.
As James Kunstler moves farther and farther from his liberal phase his writing gets more and more interesting (unlike stossel).
Anyone want to guess what Sam, Eric, and Jim have in common?
You might like to read the Leo Frank/Little Mary Phagan article on Unz today.
Written by a Phagan family member.
attempts to exonerate the execrable, half-wit Joo Leo Frank have broken more mirrors than a drunk jihadi set loose in Madonna’s bathrooms.
They are trying again 100+ years later. Good use of ‘execrable’ btw.
They all think you are an asshole?
This belongs on every opinion page in the country. I’m stealing “smuggery bubble” for awhile. I was wondering what to call that thing I keep bumping into…
OT: I came across a YT vid posted 2016 with the title “Des Rabbins poussent à la guerre entre chrétien et musulman pour le triomphe d’Israël !”. The title is translated by Googuh as “Rabbis are pushing for war between Christians and Muslims for the triumph of Israel!” It is in French. Indications are that some rabbis are perhaps promoting or perhaps just giddy about the sons of Ishmael destroying the sons of Edom. I am asking for someone fluent in French to describe the gist of what is said, perhaps localized to a segment or video time.
Is this video a smoking gun of sorts? Islam is very far along in La France. Should we expect rabbis to talk like that here once the anti-Western orcs are ascendant on the streets like in the halls of power? This could be an important video or a hoax. Note the post date of 2016, and on Jooowtooob.
Albert Pike wrote this in 1871:
” “The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the
“agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The
war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism
(the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other.
Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the
point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion… We shall unleash the
Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror
will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most
bloody turmoil.
Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of
revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned
with christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction,
anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light
through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public
view.
This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the
destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”
– Albert Pike (historical Masonic figure) was a 33rd degree Freemason, Occultist, Grand
Master and creator of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Masonic Scottish Rite Order
“The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.”
1871 my ass.
Core doctrine right there.
Thanks, for that.
It’s official. Kunstler is one of us. Whether he likes it or not.
I’ve been reading his stuff since he was a writing for Rolling Stone, it’s been interesting watching someone who was a professed Democrat who voted twice for the HAlfrican to evolve intellectually, I think he was always a closet classical liberal, now he is a full bore out in the open libertarian
The scorpion always stings the nice frog, Stucky. You are just going to ignore his enemy fruits of the past because he’s not a high ranking Democrat still getting his? There are better friends to be had, including none at all.
Sam Harris used logic to start his new atheism movement. He won’t use the same logic to refute the rona program. Like the founder of the Skeptic society who came out against the 9/11 truth movement they were were paid off.
The moment is coming, an everyone knows it. The question is, what is going to pull the pin on the hand grenade? We can probably rule out the assassination of an arch duke. But what if a Ruby Ranch occurred today, or another massacre like with the Branch Davidians? Maybe it will be sparked by the FBI trying to grab a rancher’s cows, only to be met with armed resisters, and having to retreat. The FBI has lost most of it’s credibility, and no longer gets the benefit of the doubt. In todays atmosphere, the consequences for their overreach will be much worse.
Guys like Harris and Topol think that the police will always be there to protect them. But cops are humans first, and none of them signed up to be gunned down against overwhelming odds. In many cities, including where I live, law and order is notional. Many crimes, even the most blatant, are ignored, and murders go unsolved. Cops are the ones now doing the drive-bys; nothing to see here. I can’t blame them. Who wants to do anything and run the risk of getting sued personally or prosecuted? If things break down nowadays, its everyman for himself.
Thanks for listening Jim. I know, that had a I read Topol’s Bio (as I cited below) I couldn’t have brought myself to wasting time listening to his bullshit is clear he is a Deep Medicine spokesman. Topol seems less an MD than a Captain…a bagman… for Godfather Fed Fauci. Topol distributes Fed cash down the line. Marketing and hush money, to ensure their story, with its many contradicting variants, stays in harmony. These people are pathetic, but mostly dangerous.
ERIC TOPOL BIO from Podcast description:
Eric Topol is the Founder and Director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, Professor, Molecular Medicine, and Executive Vice-President of Scripps Research. As a researcher, he has published over 1,200 peer-reviewed articles, with more than 250,000 citations, elected to the National Academy of Medicine, and is one of the top 10 most cited researchers in medicine. His principal scientific focus has been on the genomic and digital tools to individualize medicine.
In 2016, Topol was awarded a $207 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to lead a significant part of the Precision Medicine (All of Us) Initiative, a prospective research program enrolling 1 million diverse participants in the US. This is in addition to his role as principal investigator for a flagship $35 million NIH grant to promote innovation in medicine. Prior to coming to Scripps in 2007, he led the Cleveland Clinic to become the #1 center for heart care and was the founder of a new medical school there. He has been voted as the #1 most Influential physician leader in the United States in a national poll conducted by Modern Healthcare. Besides editing several textbooks, he has published 3 bestseller books on the future of medicine: The Creative Destruction of Medicine and The Patient Will See You Now and latest Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again in 2019. Topol was commissioned by the UK in 2018-2019 to lead planning for the National Health Service’s integration of AI and new technologies.”

On FIRE!!!
Back to back articles, 1st from Admin, last night, and now this gem this morning.
The Platform is Burning!!!!
Truly so, OTT,
The Eric Peters Jonestown piece and the memes ripped it big also!
That was great.
I read this article twice. It left me with a thought new to me. Hadn’t considered it before.
Is it safe to say that the group most likely to be accepting of the ‘vaccines’ is left of center?
Is it also safe to say that the people most likely to refuse/decline the ‘vaccines’ is right of center?
Assuming also, there is a middle ground of cross-overs which become insignificant since they cancel each other out.
If the answer to the those two questions is yes…..
Does the left realize that by injecting their own largely willing voters, they are possibly killing off a large portion of their voter base giving rise to the possibility that the right leaning, ‘vaccine’ refusers might start winning elections?
Or is that ridiculous since major candidates for office, mostly at the higher levels are selected and molded into office by fraud, cheating, deceit and thuggery?
Just a thought.
Just because a dem voter dies, it does not mean he quits voting. Even many republicans vote for Dems after they die.
BTW- blacks have a very low vaxx rate.
You are laboring under a false assumption. You think that whatever is in these various shots are somehow uniform. What if they aren’t? What if there are different lots and each one is consigned to be given to pre-selected individuals on some kind of master list?
Not saying that’s a fact, but it is certainly a possibility.
Terrific rant – it’s been interesting to watch JHK evolve (or devolve, depending on your perspective) over the years. Clearly he’s had a ‘road to Damascus’ moment somewhere along the way, and clearly he has run out of fucks to give. Now if only some of his more entertaining predictions would actually come true.
Road to Damascus? How apt.
Yes; the only problem I have with JHK is he never (*) wrote a post where he explained when/why he changed his mind.
That’s the main reason I remains somewhat suspicious he might quickly change his mind again, back to some new half-assed BS, i.e. that he is [still] not all based upon truth and reason.
(*) If anyone knows of such a post by him, I’d be thankful for a link.
Behold the false binary: (((Sam Harris))) and (((Eric Topol))) to the left and (((Jim Kunstler))) to the right. What choices! What freedom! Way to go, dumbass readership.
Excuse me, kind Sir, you have accidentally omitted to point to someone better
Why must you follow and not lead yourself, m. There is a wild Internet of pundits. Some of them are not Jewish. What I want is for you to vet ideas. Sometimes the devil says something useful. You want to follow an icon not personally vetted ideas. I can’t join you on that journey.
The only thing worse than someone presenting a false dichotomy is someone who doesn’t know how to present anything.
What you may possess in terms of understanding is completely undermined by how catastrophically you fail to communicate it to others.
Is that your intention or are you that socially awkward?
You could contribute a great deal if you could simply find a away not to alienate virtually everyone with your posts. It’s disconcerting to watch, I mean that.
Not good enough, HSF. The motivation is how I alienated you. Message received. I can’t function socially in norms of decline or herd. Mandatory bio malware is coming and you don’t like my tone. Time to put the big boy pants on.
Say it with us Jim: EAT A DICK!
This will be our new freedom rallying cry.
ZFG, out.
P.S. Remember the Alamo, give me liberty or give me death, Balls, aka, Nuts, hokahey, Odin owns you all, hakkaa paallel and kick em in the dicks shall all remain viable rallying cries alongside eat a dick.
Eat a dick.
