“This is This”

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

“This is this,” DiNiro’s character “Michael” famously told Cazale’s “Stan” in The Deer Hunter, explaining the metaphysics of the bullet in his hand, and pretty much everyone watching the movie got the drift of that cryptic utterance. Likewise, Elon Musk’s character “Elon Musk” explained to America’s Maoist managerial legions: “Free speech is free speech” — as if, a week after Twitter’s surrender to Elon, there was some part of the formulation that the Left didn’t understand. (Apparently, all of it.)

What a concept! Free speech is free speech. It has bowled over the — what? — maybe twenty-three percent of the country that considers free speech “a threat to democracy.” This is what comes of inverting and subverting language itself for the purpose of mind-raping the nation like Jeffrey Epstein on a 15-year-old. The Left has exercised a Macumba voodoo death grip on free speech for years now. The deeper the Left’s crimes against the constitution and common decency, the harder they strangled the flow of news, information, and opinion until the mental life of the USA turned into a gibber of shamefully obvious unreality.

It’s one thing to lose your dignity as citizens, and another to just lose your country altogether, and that is the circle of hell that the Left has dragged everyone else into since even before Hillary Clinton booted the 2016 election. This tyrannical Maoist managerial mob, grown paradoxically rich beyond precedent, became a tool of the state itself working around the inconvenient first amendment to hog-tie public debate. Will the US government allow Mr. Musk to get away with liberating the new “public square?”

It looks like the DOJ, the SEC, and perhaps other nefarious actors of degenerate officialdom are fixing to go after the rogue Tesla mogul who had the effrontery to oppose totalitarian control of the narratives driving public life. It’s rumored that money-losing Twitter could not exist without the government footing the bill for the vast, backstage server arrays that enable all Twitter’s messaging. In an odd twist, though, the shareholders were not necessarily benefitting from that symbiotic relationship as Twitter’s stock fell from $71 a share in July ’21 to $32 in March ’22.  But the C-suite of Twitter’s executives were already too massively rich to care about anything but punishing their political enemies — which they did with sadistic zeal — when Mr. Musk surprisingly stepped onto the scene.

The government’s first counter-move, under the vividly deliquescing “Joe Biden” — whose treasonous corruption became Twitter’s job-one to conceal — was to concoct a brand-new agency under Homeland Security called the Disinformation Governance Board, to be run by one Nina Jankowicz, “internationally-recognized expert on disinformation and democratization,” who also happened to be a RussiaGate shill and publicist for the fifty national security officials  who labeled the Hunter Biden laptop story “Russian disinformation” (turned out: not). In other words, America now has a “truth” kommissar who is a soldier in the War on Truth.

Such a desperately stupid maneuver could only come from a regime close to collapse — just as the feculent particulars on Hunter Biden’s laptop are being revealed by many in possession of copies of the laptop’s hard-drive, and while, concurrently, the US attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, leads an investigation into Hunter B’s business dealings. Those include large-ish payments from nations hostile to American interests for opaque services rendered. So, you have a chief executive (“JB”) compromised mentally and legally, and installed via a janky primary and a dubious election, and, some young cookie fresh out of the Princeton fellowship matrix is going to defend him like Wonder Woman wielding her Magic Lasso of Aphrodite?

Homey don’t think so. Homey think the whole wretched episode of orchestrated national mindfuckery is about to come a’tumblin’ down, along with the miserable ghoul in the Oval Office. And that will be followed by the fun of seeing them try to eject Kamala Harris from the scene and replacing her with the likes of Barack or Michele Obama. (Don’t believe it? Just watch.) Of course, all that will be small potatoes to the reveal of cosmic ineptitude or gross criminality (perhaps both!) that is bound to come as Twitter opens up to discussion of our government’s role in the Covid-19 fiasco — which I aimed to help kick off with my first Tweet in long long time, viz:

He is en fuego and I believe he’s correct. This whole shitshow is collapsing and I want to help push. They crossed the line yesterday and millions are enraged or awakened to the fact they live under a fascist terror regime.

Instead of impeaching Joe Biden, we should first impeach Kamala Harris, for failing to stop the border crises. That way, when Joe nominates a replacement VP as stipulated in the 25th amendment, the Senate, now absent the tie-breaking VP, will be able to reject any replacement. Thus, with the VP spot now being vacant, an impeachment of Joe would devolve the presidency to the speakers position, which after this November will be a Republican.

Harrington Richardson

We must impeach this entire cabinet and Biden and Harris. Conviction in the Senate is doubtful as it requires 67 votes. Traitor filth like Romney and profoundly stupid people like Tillis won’t go along. Biden won’t be President in 2023 anyway. Not sure who Valerie Jarret will appoint as a replacement but we may not have a government capable of enforcing its writ by then either. We may be entering the Twilight Zone.

the current regime is not going to give up power. Period, full stop. The coup that was disguised as the 2020 election is not going to be reversed by voting harder, or anything like that. The FUSA is like Czechoslovakia after 1948 election, they still.thought that they could vote their way out of a Marxist regime,but they found out different, same thing will happen here.

I truly believe many of our elected leaders and many agency heads could be found guilty of TREASON if judged by a jurist with integrity. We do not have any of those.

However, when this catastrophe that is upon us recedes and mankind begins to reorganize as mankind tends to do after disaster has wiped out large numbers of mankind, there should be a new Sheriff in town and good cause for a hanging judge.

TREASON is not just a word. It is intentionally causing harm to one’s own country, aiding and abetting enemies of citizens and intentionally disregarding laws which brings harm to citizens and property.

If there are any Constitutional Lawyers who actually believe the Constitution’s Article III Treason Clause applies, I hope you are laying out the charges against the Biden Administration, the Obamas, Clintons and even George Bush. Perhaps it is time for Americans to stand up and let these grifters know what we do to TRAITORS.

While I like the way you think, Congress will never impeach the first female vice president, the first black vice president or the first black woman vice president. I’d say she’s the first skank vice president, but we’ve had a whole slew of prostituted prior presidents and vice presidents. Our best hope is that her plane crashes, although if Kevin McCarthy becomes Speaker in January, I’m not sure he’d be any better than Harris.

Treason is the only crime defined in the US Constitution.

We should be discussing Article III’s Treason Clause.

Fuck the 25th.

The Constitution specifically identifies what constitutes treason against the United States and, importantly, limits the offense of treason to only two types of conduct: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort.” Although there have not been many treason prosecutions in American history—indeed, only one person has been indicted for treason since 1954—the Supreme Court has had occasion to further define what each type of treason entails.

Warren
Warren

Too bad they tossed out the Constitution in January of 2021.

Austrian Peter

In UK – “The Treason Act 1795 made it treason to “compass, imagine, invent, devise or intend death or destruction, or any bodily harm tending to death or destruction, maim or wounding, imprisonment or restraint, of the person of … the King.” This was abolished in 1998, when the death penalty was also abolished.”

“Although Joyce (the WW2 radio propagandist) is the last person to have been convicted and executed for treason, this offence remains law. It dates back to the Treason Act 1351. Although originally punishable by death, following the passing of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 the penalty would now be life imprisonment.”

“Although unused, the death penalty remained a legally defined punishment for certain offences such as treason until it was completely abolished in 1998; the last execution for treason took place in 1946.” “(On January 3, 1946, William “Lord Haw-Haw” Joyce was hanged, and his body buried in an unmarked grave on the grounds of the prison where he was held. In 1976, his daughter petitioned to have the body exhumed and interred in his once-home of Bohermore, Galway, Ireland, where his grave remains today.)”

NB – Julian Assange is going down the same rabbit hole although we are doing everything possible to save him. This is an extant example of HMG’s blatant miscarriage of justice – if ‘justice’ ever exists in Britain today.

“In UK: The act of treason is the offense of betraying one’s own country by attempting to overthrow the government through waging war against the state or materially aiding its enemies.”

So, whilst me and my compatriots are challenging all the acts of the British government against the freedom, rights and liberties of its people, in particular, over the last 2 years, could it be that we are acting treasonously according to the state? It will be an interesting constitutional case when we finally get these monsters in court!

Judge Dale: The Sovereign Citizen

Because the alternative case is that the HMG was acting treasonously – or can a government do so even if it attacks its own people? The lawyers will have fun with this one and I intent to pursue it, even invoking the Human Rights Act, which has been abused to the ‘nth’ degree. I have massive files of evidence thus far which, in printed form, must go to many thousands of pages.

The Ten Commandments are the only real laws.

Everything else, just a ‘legal’ rationalization to punish/kill your opponents.

Since Satan became ruler of this world.

Austrian Peter

Yes indeed Anon, exactly my view:

Jesus knew who really rules the world. On one occasion, Satan “showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.” Then Satan promised Jesus: “All these things I will give you if you fall [or, bow] down and do an act of worship to me.” (Matthew 4:8, 9; Luke 4:5, 6) Ask, ‘If those kingdoms didn’t belong to Satan, could he have offered them to Jesus?’ No. All governments belong to Satan. QED.

All the lower worlds are ruled by Satan: physical, astral, casual, mental, and etheric. The Varagai adepts have taught this since the dawn of time. We recognize their authority, but we do not worship or submit to them.

Speaking of rabbit holes and Lord Haw-Haw, William Joyce renounced British citizenship, and any allegiance to the UK, prior to commencing his anti-UK war broadcasts.

Post-war, the UK prosecution team produced a witness who swore he could remember a Haw-Haw propaganda broadcast from before the date of Joyce’s renunciation; no documentation, just a distinct memory. It was enough for conviction and execution.

If they really want you, they will get you.

Dignity as citizens? Inversion & subversion, in(the)deed(of sale). Your country? This ain’t that, as Michael came to learn ~ benefit of doubt ~ the hard way. The guy in Deer Hunter who spoke the true-true was the one who came into the bar, was pestered by the starry-eyed citizen gulls, & responded “Fuck it.”

Will the US gov allow Mr. Musk to get away with liberating ~ mulcting ~ even more billions from the hide of the public squares? Count it – those chickens are already hatched…’cept they’s raptors, not hens.

“In eighteenth century-France there lived a man who was one of the most gifted & abominable personages in a era that knew no lack of gifted & abominable personages. His story will be told here. His name was Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, & if his name – in contrast to the names of other gifted abominations, de Sade’s, for instabce, or Saint-Just’s, Fouche’s, Bonaparte’s, etc – has been forgotten today, it is certainly not because Grenouille fell short of those more famous blackguards when it came to arrogance, misanthropy, immorality, or, more succinctly, to wickedness, but because his gifts & his sole ambition were restricted to a domain that leaves no traces in history: to the fleeting realm of scent.

In the period of which we speak, there reigned in the cities a stench barely conceivable to us modern men & women. The streets stank of manure, the courtyards of urine, the stairwells stank of mouldering wood & rat droppings, the kitchens of spoiled cabbage & mutton fat; the unaired parlors stank of stale dust, the bedrooms of greasy sheets, damp featherbeds, & the pungently sweet aroma of chamberpots. The stench of sulphur arose from the chimneys, the stench of caustic dyes from the tanneries, & from the slaughterjouses came the stench of congealed blood. People stank of sweat & unwashed clothes; from their mouths came the stench of rotting teeth, from their bellies that of onions, & from their bodies, if they were no longer very young, came the stench of rancid cheese & sour milk & timorous disease. The rivers stank, the marketplaces stank, it stank beneath the bridges & in the palaces. The peaant stank as did the priest, the apprentice as did his master’s wife, the whole of the aristocracy stank, even the king himself stank, stank like a rank lion, & the queen like an old goat, summer & winter. For in the eighteenth century there was nothing to hinder bacteria busy at decomposition, & so their was no human activity, either constructive or destructive, no manifestation of germinating or decaying life that was not accompanied by stench.

And of course the stench was foulest in paris, for Paris was the largest city in France….” ~ Perfume, The Story of a Murderer, Patrick Sauskind

Can you smell the musk? Or is your inner Edison still trialing the 10000 errors that can’t & won’t light up your olfactory bulb? Not many have that much T&E in ‘em. Most say, mean, “fuck it,” to all that effort.
