Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
“Joe Biden” will interrupt his moveable vacation — for now, back in Wilmington, DE — to speak to the nation early this (Friday) afternoon. Will he dig himself deeper into the hole that the Taliban tossed him in, or just throw in the towel on running the executive branch of the government (if that’s what he’s been doing)?
Let’s face it: “Joe B’s” actual doings in the White House these seven months are as mysterious as last week’s blitzkrieg through Afghanistan by the Taliban. What does Ol’ White Joe actually do all day after his managers “call a lid” on his official duties at 8:30 in the morning? Gab with Hunter about family business on a secure phone? Watch Joy Behar and her gang on TV? We-the-people are unaware that the “president” has any hobbies or avocations. Golf? Apparently not. Stamps? Please! Or does he just sit in a comfortable chair on the second-floor casting what is left of his mind back on those dear dead days of his fabled Scranton boyhood?
Can you really imagine Kamala Harris in the Oval Office? I doubt Kamala herself can. Anyway, someone up and dispatched her off to Singapore and Vietnam this week, as if on-cue (get her outa town, pronto…things will be a little hairy around here). Presumably she will return to the USA in the fullness of time, without any untoward accidents involving Air Force Two. But what if the veep, for reasons of her own (say, “nerves”), throws in a towel, too? Who else happens to be constitutionally in-line for Commander-in-Chief in case the whole 2020 ticket bows out? Why, the Speaker of the House, of course, Ms. Nancy Pelosi, the world’s leading model of outfit-matching face-masks. What a career-capper that will be! Better stock up the White House freezer with Jeni’s-brand mango-cheesecake swirl gourmet ice-cream and gird your loins for a fusillade of executive orders making outlaws of everyone living between the Falls of the Potomac and the Embarcadero.
The news media may wonder whether Afghanistan is heading back into twelfth century, but many of us here are wondering whether this country will remain in the twenty-first. The cable TV channels crackle with existential angst. The USA seems to have made itself the chump of chump nations. We are so easily faked-out! Our gazillion-dollar military and Intel Community got owned by savages in sandals, for Gawdsake! Ten-thousand Americans (or more!) sit stranded in Kabul while Pashtun horsemen joyride above the city in purloined Blackhawk helicopters! We abandon our allies and obligations! We are not to be trusted (even by ourselves). What is to be done?
Nobody knows, or if they do, they’re not telling. One senses a descent into a season of extraordinary national disorder. One hears whispers of an alt.military Trump-leaning cabal lurking at the margins, waiting to seize power. What else is there? Appeal to Pakistan to call off their dogs? Because, after all, it was Pakistan who virtually created the Taliban, and who planted Osama Bin Laden in Kandahar, and then harbored him in Abbottabad after the Yanks arrived next door in 2001 to root him out of some mythical cave (and failed to, having sub-contracted the actual job to the Pashtun mounties, an outfit with certain motivational problems).
Jimmy Carter was undone by a mere fifty-two hostages in Iran, 1979, but this fiasco is orders of magnitude greater. The Taliban could easily put an end to the whole question of extracting the thousands of Americans stuck in Af-stan just by firing a few RPG rounds onto the runway of Hamid Karzai International Airport. After that, would they go about the grisly business of beheading any Afghani who so much as took a stick of gum from an American?
“Graveyard of Empires,” indeed. Rome waited a few centuries to collapse but America seems to be demonstrating we can git’er done in just a couple of years. And, beyond these questions of global hegemony, there is the matter of what happens here in the so-called Homeland. The Covid-19 vaccine-and-masking hysteria is coming to a head. The school boards are getting an earful about race-based everything in the curriculum. Certain state governors and mayors seem determined to destroy what remains of small business. A mutiny is brewing against Bill de Blasio’s new semi-lockdown in New York City. Gavin Newsome is about to be tossed into the North Pacific Gyre. Any moment, the Arizona election audit will issue a preliminary report, said to be shocking. Financial markets are in the wobble-zone. Supply lines are down for many parts of things needed to run daily life in this land. And millions are wondering anxiously now: what really are the latent effects of those jabs?
Things are shaking loose all over the place. As Bob Dylan once said, the order is rapidly fading (and he’s even older than “Joe Biden.”) Everyone I know has got the heebie-jeebies. Nobody is at the controls of this outfit as we sail into the fog.

Giving that impostor ‘American’ Barry Soetero a third term in office was a real mistake. Too late now.
Joe Bye-done ain’t the Prez,
nor is Kameltoe the veep.
The uncharted waters we’re in,
are mighty, mighty deep,
There’s Fake news that abounds,
It’s Everywhere that you look,
Why, you would even think,
The last election was took? (Really? No!)
But fear not, my friends,
No matter how bad my rhymes,
The (((Feds))) may have the watches,
But we Patriots have the time…
Just ask the Taliban!!!
This is what the Chief Heebie Jeebie was doing to prepare to get our troops out of Afghanistan safely.
https://news.yahoo.com/biden-white-house-releases-blueprint-150100495.html
Immigration overhaul? Is there language in there about Afghans I wonder?
As Kabul fell to the Taliban, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin conceded he had no control over the military and no answer on how to exfiltrate American citizens trapped behind enemy lines.
“Oh, well, fuck them. If they die, we’ll blame Trump,” Biden said of Americans trapped in Afghanistan.
The thing is? When Obama was POTUS and Biden was VP? He said that exact thing about the Afghans and the Iraqis. The Fuck ‘Em part… he was blaming Bush back then.
That’s pretty much it.
I’m getting all kinds of unexpected signs to expect something really big and really bad to happen as early as September. A real game changer. Just keep waiting and watching.
I’ve got all my winter preps done already cus something crazies brewing.
Their narrative is cracking and they’re going to have to up the anti significantly to stop it from breaking apart completely.
Hang on tight for a wild ride.
Even some of the normies I talk with are starting realize shit’s all messed up. And wondering why they got the vaccine, when it clearly doesn’t work as advertised.
Now where the hell did I leave those Nomex/Kevlar under pants?
Don’t forget the toilet paper, you know you going to need it.
Eat with the right hand.
Wipe with the left.
It’s the American Way.
And the damn thing of it is, you can’t wipe with a website! ™
I’m with you Eyes…my Brother,
I’m loading up with Kerosene for my two heaters tomorrow.
Biden admin screwing US contractors in Afghanistan may have been to provoke their future reprisal thus burning Reichstag, martial law, gun confiscation, globohomo, etc.
Ridiculous maybe, but their Jan 6 insurrection narrative is goofy also.
The real fun will start when the clot shots are unlawfully given government approved vaccine status and the large scale employee shot mandates begin.
The military mandate deadline will be the big splash.
As I have previously said, Zhou Bi Den will be gone by October 1. Probably sooner, but the die is cast. The media has been instructed to give him the Old man bad treatment.
Seems we have the heebie-jeebies of August because the (((Heebie-Jeebies))) are in charge after all and not resident Bi Din.
Bad Juju, yeah the Obeah Mon.
Messing with Jubo very bad, very VERY bad.
How do you find this stuff Auntie. You on some heebie jeebie algorithm .?
Evah been to the Out Islands of the Bahamas, mon?
Sun, turqouise water clear as gin, sand, cerulean blue sky, fishing , diving, sailing, spiney lobster — conch, but that Island vibe…..wooooooo.
And then there’s that religion….
Heh, I was born on an island and have lived on 5. How did I miss Bahama?
If he is not getting them from a rightwing meme site (do they still exist?), then he must just be an AI that only exists on the web. Possibly related to the great TayAI (RIP).
“Nobody knows, or if they do, they’re not telling”.. Bullshit. The people running things are not surprised, they knew. And we were told. Quietly, from the sidelines, and carefully couched, but there is nothing surprising about this. This is theater. Anyone who does not see it is either genuinely ignorant or a fool. No other options.
Kunstler is still shilling. For whom, I wonder.
Fascinating to watch. I wonder what will come next.
Alternative voices have turned out to be establishment sleeper-agents before.
The Heebie Jeebies of August are swell. I worry a lot more about “The Guns of August.” Anyone who has read that classic knows how fast this can go from plain crap to the entire world losing their collective mind.
“…losing…”?
AYFKM? The entire world HAS lost its collective mind ( what little it actually had functioning to start with, and that was pretty miniscule.)
Indeed. Yet it can go from here to unimaginably bad as in a trigger event like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand or the Tallywhackers deciding to mortar the runway or the entire compound of the airport, executing westerners or taking thousands of hostages etc. etc. All with Dementia Joe dropping like a rock in approval while simultaneously horrifying the NATO ally shitheads, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Thailand, Singapore and India for good measure.
Wait till the Zhiu Xi Den so destroys the Democrats that they lose in Virginia then they will really go hyperbolic
It is extremely difficult to keep above of the bullshit, when everyone is full of shit. I don’t see a way to reconcile the truth except this stoicism that HSF keeps pushing. I am investigating that, because I need tools to be able to see what is really there and not go crazy with loneliness.
Fortunately, just as the American government remain fools, the Chinese government remain patient.
Ol Joe corrects the questioner about his corruption, the infamous “Don’t assume I’m not corrupt”
At the 1:30 min mark… he’s thoroughly dispelled any doubt about that quip now.
Stupid Supreme Court allows these election control laws to avoid the appearance of impropriety. But actual impropriety is no problem. And so he we are
Notice he also includes his former boss in this statement.
So this guy has always been stupid and arrogant. He is honest in a way. Nobody should assume anyone in elected office is not corrupt, no matter how many things they say that you agree with.
Corruption has many shades, from the selling out to Red China for whores and cash like Swallwell and Zhou Xi Den, to getting paid for a speech to a company that they regulate, to getting a free meal at the Old Ebbits Grill. I don’t think Ron Paul. Maybe not Rand either.
Rand had to take the ticket, because McConnel had a stranglehold on Kentucky politics. It was compromise his morals or get out. You know which way he chose.
Dumb psychopaths have been in power for a long time. It won’t change. An economic collapse is still coming also.
‘Demonic psychopaths’…nothing dumb about their evil…it is just Godless evil.
Satanic evil, Mark.
There needs to be a system for filtering out psychopaths. This one is not it.
If there were any actual men in the Republican Party, they would all announce that due to the overwhelming incompetence we see weekly from this administration, be it Afghanistan or the CDC contradicting themselves, immigration, etc., all legislative items are dead on arrival. Incompetence does not get rewarded any longer. Whatever they want to do next will not happen.
Such an approach will never happen of course but that’s the price we pay for having two totally worthless political parties.
The ones in the Republican party who show any balls at all, mostly have vaginas. And that, my friend, is a said statement.
Philly Archdiocese will not sign vaccine exemptions.

Pope Frankie approves.
You mean ‘Anti-Pope’, right?
Nope. A pope is already anti-Christ, just by existing. It’s just another one of those blind spots that people have. The office claims authority that not even Christ claimed and authority that Christ did claim. Both are deadly sins.
I live in the heart of deep blue country, and it’s oddly quiet out there, except for a few weak attempts to cast blame on Trump. You don’t see anyone rushing to a microphone to defend Biden, not even murmuring on the street. What are they going to say “Don’t trust your lying eyes, everything is going according to plan”? Kamala is fleeing the microphones, her go-to move when the heat is on. It seems a lot of other politicians are using the same gambit. There is unease out there, as even the man on the street intuits that the fall of Kabul is a harbinger of worse things to come, a lot closer to home, and for a very long time. The days of easy hunting are over. I guess the lesson here is that if you elect a corrupt, senile, incompetent 78-year-old as President, bad things happen. Who would have guessed it?
Zhou Xi Den wasn’t elected,
Just change ‘elect’ to ‘select’ or maybe install.
Arguments cold be made for several entities being most responsible for spreading the fear … Fraudchi, Dementia, farcebook, CDC, etc. …. but, let’s not leave out good old fashioned Newspapers.
The NJ Shit Ledger is now constantly printing Covid Hero stories … last week, even on the front page of the Sunday paper! Some story about a Kneegrow woman who at first refused the shot, but then she done did her research and found out all her reasons for being hesitant were due to lies and exaggerations by anti-vaxxers. So, she took the shot, and is very very happy she did, and is begging for everyone to be like her. Of course they used the Negroid since blacks are among the least vaccinated group.
Then there was a story about a 9-year old vax hero … no shit, that was in the headline … for volunteering in some vax study for young children. Of course, he’s also very very happy and wants all his schoolmates to be like him. NJ is hoping to vax kindergartners ASAP.
Then there was a story about a Vaccine Angel … some fucken freak ass cunt who convinced over 1,300 people in her CA town to take the jab.
The Clot Shot propaganda is RELENTLESS It’s SAFE, SAFE, SAFE!! Let’s all get protected so we can “get back to normal!!!”
A poll from last week … fuck polls!! …. showed that 88% of NJ Democrats are in favor of Vax Passports … and even more are in favor of forcing masks on school kids, from Kindergarten to 12th grade.
You people should pray and thank Jesus that at least you don’t live in this Shitfuk state.
OTOH …. some major crediting agency just upgraded NJ’s credit rating. Gov. Dickface said this is proof that NJ has recovered from the economic downturn suffered under Trump’s Covid plans. Yea!!!
He wants to spend $16 BILLION to build up barrier reefs … so people with multi-million dollar ocean-front homes can live with peace of mind. I love his compassion. He’s about 16% ahead of his closest Republican challenger. Sixteen percent!!! My analysis; people in NJ really love getting fuck in the ass.
Did you know that the “Field of Dreams” baseball game last week in Iowa had a average ticket price of $1,400 … and the good seats were north of $4,000 ??!! Life is gooood in ‘Murika! We’re back, baby!
Stucky-So I guess now that TPTB have made “The Garden State” a paradise again, you will no longer look for new digs in another state. I mean, who could leave all of THAT? Don’t forget, you can buy a palace in AR/TN/KY with 600k compared to NJ. 🙂
I watched a doc about NJ in the 60’s not too long ago, it was really a nice place. Seriously.
My wife and I were planning to buy a second house for this land so I called American’s Home Place and asked about their little 1024 sq ft cabin and it starts about $190,000. We’re going to wait for the economic crash which isn’t but a few months away…I have two good friends also waiting to buy post-crash.
The leftest paper in Sandpoint ID published an article celebrating the sickness and death of two “anti vax” republicans.
And I thought that Northern Idaho was the place to be…
Northern Idaho is a barren, wind-swept waste of snow and ice. Avoid!!!!
Florida is a mosquito, alligator, snake, snow-bird infested hothouse blasted every year by killer hurricanes; Condos fall on occupants; it’s going Blue and almost elected Andrew Gallium for Governor. Northern Idaho would be paradise compared to South Florida.
Earth is a planetary cesspool of shambling zombioids forever cursed to rot in the Lord’s least favorite place in all universes. Avoid!!!
Missouri is too hot and too cold, sometimes both at the same time. It’s flyover country and there’s nothing to do. Avoid, avoid!
I’ve been in SE MO for 21 years. I like it here.
I’m in the rainy zone near the Castor River (Marquand: population 216 or 251, depending on which direction you cross the river. If coming from Patton, it is 251. Only 216 coming across the river from Fredericktown. It cracks me up.)
It is muggy, but it’s better than being in Illinois.
By the way? I don’t live inside Marquand, just somewhere within a 20 mile radius.
Shush!
The liberal scourge has permeated every hamlet in the us larger than 10,000. The area may be red but the city governments are blue for the most part. Try Lewiston. Cour d lane has too many yuppie republicrats to suit me. Same with Boise.
God bless Clearwater Paper. They keep the Californians away.
The other day, I saw a short video of worldwide protests set to the music of “Do you hear the people sing” from Les Miserables. I can’t find it any more, and I don’t remember if someone had posted it here. Anyone happen to have the link?
Sailing into the fog, yeah right up against the Isle of Sholes in a gale.
Consistently on point, thank you.

This is the Heebie Jeebie Creepie Man of August!
He whispers at the end. Shudder.
Biden administration not mandating COVID vaccines for White House staff, Psaki says
During the White House press briefing Thursday, Psaki suggested that every White House official had been offered a COVID-19 vaccine, but clarified Friday that the White House was not requiring officials to be vaccinated.

Bad news;
Biden and Pelosi Set to Impose Tax Hikes on Small Businesses
https://www.atr.org/biden-and-pelosi-set-impose-tax-hikes-small-businesses?amp
POTUS Heebie Jeebie is LIVE again…
LAME DUCK GRIFTER whispering.
He actually is trying to claim some sort of VICTORY. How can you tell when Biden is Lying?
He’s fucking talking, that’s how.
Oh, goodie… he’s going to deploy the military to fix his fuckup. Send in the clowns, um, I mean those “bad ass girls.”
He just said he’s coordinating a united approach with France, UK and Germany… you know, all the people the US just abandoned?
What a piece of crap.
By the way? Is it just me or does it look like Kamala is giggling back there?
what a lying piece of shit using his own son as a bargaining chip at this point…
cued to the point, I hope.
This will make it all better! Send in the US Bad Asses!
This is a very good analysis of the video too.
Fact this fraudulent demented fool occupying the Oval Office is controlled by true treasonous operatives in our own government direct and indirectly beholden to the chi coms and WEF !
Our votes and desires as free independent citizens means absolutely nothing !
Refuse & Resist any and all in government especially a huge collection of law enforcement !
Far to many badge wearing armed minions will just do their job & follow orders like good little NAZI’s
Check out the Jan 6 Blue Line badge wearing lying sacks of shit we support with cash confiscated by other liars and parasites !
ITs over now , prepare to defend yourself
I’m ready and waiting for the scum to bring it.
I hear Pelousy has ordered a new set of dentures for her inauguration.
Biden has fucked things up to Biblical proportions! Boy do we ever need Trump.
/s ?
I will prob fall in the category of nutbin conspiracy on this one but the smell on this odorous collapse just will not go away:
-incompetence on afghan is just so bad, so obvious, that is difficult to believe: no plan exists or existed, mid-night bailout of bagram, maybe or not turned out the lights; no defense of kabul airport, not possible to defend militarily, us froze or seized huge funds of afghan while pres fled with millions on chopper, vehicles, us troops may find themselves as hostage until afghan funds are unfrozen, and on and on;
-still no firngs, no resignations, status quo as horrendous as that is;
-not at all clear who is pulling the strings, it sure ain’t biden. Who is the string puller, obama via his harpies, but who is pulling obama’s strings?
-to that last question, keep an eye on Blackrock and the donilon clan (they are completely wired into the white house and have a long history with biden; the possibility of intrique here is unlimited.
-finally, most of biden’s advisors/officials AND CNN (yes, CNN as hard that is to believe) are tossing biden publicly under the bus; moreover, the neo cons and the mosaad controlled langley gang are not known to go quietly away.
-so where does that leave us-certainly not confident that it is not going to get worse, much worse with the davos, neo cons, zionists, israel, cia waiting in the wings, aided and abetted by the blackrock penchant for greed and world control.
Just saying and asking.
