Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
The Party of Chaos is draping its narrow shoulders in black crepe this Fourth of July, putting on funereal airs, which is actually just another cynical act in their remorseless performance of pretending to care about our country, as everything they touch goes to shit, blood, and ruin. Anything not that, they would like you believe, is “right-wing extremism” and “domestic terrorism.” Such as reminding your fellow citizens that there’s an upside to the rule-of-law and free speech, two niceties of the constitution the Party of Chaos is working hard to dispose of.
Understand that this Party of Chaos is insane, and rejoice this holiday weekend that you are not them. Independence, after all, was not just throwing off the yoke of King George III, but of establishing conditions for a people to thrive and pursue happiness without nefarious interference by vicious authorities of a leviathan state. That was something worth fighting for in 1776 and worth fighting for now.
One such battle was decided this week in the US Supreme Court: West Virginia v EPA, about US government agencies under the executive branch usurping legislative and judicial prerogatives — in this case to enforce “Green New Deal” policies on the electric power industry by agency fiat, as if by law. No-can-do, the SCOTUS said in a 6-3 decision. The ruling will tend to quash the growing tyranny of the unelected federal bureaucracy issuing diktats that nobody has voted for, like the Department of Education’s increasingly insane use of the 1972 Title IX [nine] update of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to jam biological male transsexuals into women’s sports and locker rooms.
Much of this agency mischief has emanated in recent years from whoever is in the White House issuing executive orders to get around a recalcitrant Congress. Barack Obama was especially prolific at it and now the junta behind “Joe Biden” is trying to emulate Mr. O. The upshot is that the Green New Deal is dead because even a Democratic majority Congress is too chicken to vote for measures likely to bring down the electric grid and put an end to mass motoring (though current trends suggest exactly that outcome is in the cards even without government action).
The ruling also tends to foil the World Economic Forum’s effort to re-set Western Civ as a transhuman technocratic “green” nirvana. Rather, the USA and Euroland are on the express track to a Palookaville of grubby, post-industrial, neo-medieval hardship. Try to imagine Mark Zuckerberg’s Metaverse minus reliable electric service. All you’re left with is an ill-dressed schmuck wearing goggles in a dark, empty room. Not to mention the technocrat elite’s wished-for boons of computer-enabled eternal life and never-ending orgasm. Fugettabowdit. Mr. Zuckerberg will be lucky months from now if he can avoid being clamped to a stake and torched by the angered new peasantry he helped to create.
War is not the glorious romp it used to be, either, in the days of caparisoned hussars and grenadiers in colorful enfilade. Now it’s more like being a swarm of gnats in a bug-zapper: pfffftttt… and you’re just one of ten thousand fellow gnats parlayed into the plane of ignominious nonexistence, sans accolades and salutes. Thus, our supremely stupid campaign against Russia in Ukraine, which is so not going well that it is hard to find a comparable strategic fiasco in history.
Of course, strategic fiascos are “Joe Biden’s” specialty. Even his former running mate, Mr. O, acknowledged that “you can’t underestimate [“JB’s”] ability to fuck things up.” The alleged current president wanted desperately to bog down his nemesis, Vlad Putin, in the Ukrainian buzzard flats, hoping that Russia would roll over and die. But, lo and behold, it’s not working, not even with that $50-billion “JB” supposedly wired to Kiev. Instead, it’s America and our NATO allies who are circling the drain. Remember all those humming factories we won the Second World War with? They don’t exist anymore. Try prosecuting an industrial war without any industry. Decreasingly, too, our oil production, thanks explicitly to “Joe Biden’s” policies. Next, he’ll beg Mr. Putin for a discount on Russian oil while threatening to punch him the face. I hope you’re prepared to lose this one as badly as we lost Afghanistan.
Life for us will get simpler, for sure, but it doesn’t have to be a trip back to the eleventh century. Mere months remain before the Party of Chaos has its near-death experience at the polls and we can begin to contemplate a change of course that allows us to remain a civilized nation of law and liberty, despite all the damage done. I’m celebrating this Fourth of July by mindfully declaring the independence of the country I love from the regime of grifters, tyrants, and sadists temporarily occupying the power centers of Washington, DC. I hope you will join me and do likewise.

I no longer fear The Party Of Chaos or what they can do to me.
That’s because just yesterday I declared myself FREE FROM AMERICAN TYRANNY!
Things have been just great since then. I hope my fellow TPBers join me.

Sign me up. FJB and all the filthy grifters. I really like the visual of Jimbo’s peasants with pitchforks clamping Zuckfuque to a stake. Put it on our bucket list.
I think it’s time to submit a new declaration of independence with our resignation.
Or we could just resubmit the original with a few name changes.
July 4 is no longer a day of commemoration, but aspiration. The “Woke Imperium” is a force for destruction. We must either save America or break free and make something new that saves what’s worth saving from the Old Republic. The Potomac Regime — the dysgenic, destructive, death-dealing monstrosity that acts in our name — is not our government. In its determination to push “wokeness” on the world, it has become the common enemy of mankind.
Obey its laws. Don’t do anything violent or stupid. But you owe it no loyalty or respect. We defeat the Potomac Regime, the Empire of Lies, by ignoring it and working for a new Independence Day.
Happy Fourth of July. Spare a thought for those who gave their lives for this country and resolve to avenge the sacrifices they made for rulers who didn’t deserve them. – Greg Hood
“Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals & happiness.” Thomas Jefferson
It ain’t work when you love doing it….
Depends on how tired you are.
Funny how liberals, not you, think that they can have a ‘life’ and not work at it and end up hating everything and everybody. Then there are those that will work to create a life that they love and want to share with everybody.
I’ve worked both factory and farm. End of the day I’d pick the farm every time. At the very least, on the farm you can look at what you’ve done and see what your hands have made. The factory… you’re just tired.
That is the reward for even when you are tired. It keeps me going to look at it just like that.
I worked as a lawyer and then spent 25+ years as a carpenter — and, like you, as a carpenter we would look at what we’d done every day and see just what we had made — whether someone’s soon-to-be new home, or renovating their old home, or their restaurant … whatever.
Most satisfying … and, as a carpenter, I dealt with a much, much better class of people … no shyster jews trying to short everything and everyone out of what’s theirs — just my business partner and me and our crew …
I know I was glad to get away from the corporate scene in DFW , Texas. Maybe a “bad attitude”, it sucked! Good friends and fun while there, still, held on just long enough to get out.
Damn!

It’s best not to be ruled at all.

Referencing the Party of Chaos – the Demoncratz. And yes, it is true.
But it’s gonna be OK; WEPH has their back. and also, the Repugnantcans.
ha ha ha
Great story. I’d like to meet that guy.
“Palookaville of grubby, post-industrial, neo-medieval hardship”
I love James’ facility with the language.
It’s good to still have hope for a political victory I guess.
As for me: ” Do not trust to hope. It has abandoned these lands.”
Well, in reality, it is a 3rd Hobama Administration.
… except this yomama isn’t a mulatto …
King George III ? Must have asked for more than the “Usual, Customary, and Reasonable”…10%
Notably, STILL in practice to this day. Moral of the story: Don’t rock the boat, if you know what’s good for you.

Not if the refuclacans have any thing to with it, we won’t.
I’m going with the eleventh century solution.

Former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather similarly took to Twitter to offer this hostile take on the ruling, “Dear Supreme Court, Thanks for nothing. – Planet Earth.”
>>>Former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather similarly took to Twitter….
Indeed, the good die young.
FWIW, the ascension of Mr. Rather to CBS anchorman more or less coincided with my ceasing to watch any television at all, much less broadcast “news” shows.
Ah! Reagan’s first term… we were young and naive….
“Mere months remain before the Party of Chaos has its near-death experience at the polls . . .”
JHK, like so many others, seems to have forgotten how easy it is for TPTB to rig elections. That has been going on for a long time, but in 2020 it was pretty obvious. I think they are basically just flaunting it now. They don’t care how obvious it is that the elections are rigged – they know that nothing will be done about it.
So, to rebut JHK, the Party of Chaos will only have a near-death experience at the polls if the NWO/Deep State wants them to, which isn’t likely. TPTB like to periodically alternate between the Democrats and the Republicans to keep the sheeple fooled into thinking their votes matter, and it is customary for the party opposite the president’s party to gain some ground in midterm elections, so the Republicans will probably pick up some seats in November. But it will be a minor reshuffling of R’s and D’s, with no significant change in outcome.
I say F them all, after watching Grandfather. F the seats, F ’em all.

The communists, (liberals) hate the 4th of July for what it celibates. The 4th of July is the celebration first and foremost of the individual sovereignty of the American Citizen. The left does not want freedom and sovereignty, for the people, they want feudalism where they dictate to, and own the citizens of America.
