Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
“Worse is better,” V. Lenin used to explain to his Bolshevik cohorts in their vicious pursuit of power. And is there any question now that this is the same operational formula of the shadowy crew behind “Joe Biden” in its mission to turn the American Republic into a branch-office of the Schwabenklausian trans-human techno-tyranny?
“Joe B” is doing his part to personally make things worse by taking Paxlovid, the Pfizer wonder drug that wondrously amps up Covid-19 symptoms and extends the course of the illness — as recently admitted by that other eminent, double-boosted Covid-19 sufferer, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the sage of US public health. If White House doctors follow the CDC’s treatment protocol they’ll soon put “JB” on remdesivir. Naturally, it kills him. State funeral… boo hoo… “46” is entombed under the Wilmington Amtrak station….
My political fantasy du jour: Thus, Kamala accedes to greatness! She must then appoint a new vice-president. That would be… wait for it… California governor Gavin Newsom — who else? (He was recently captured on video skulking into a back door of the West Wing while “Joe Biden” was out-of-town schmoozing up the honchos of Saudi Arabia.) Gov. Newsom is easily confirmed in the House and narrowly in the Senate when Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski vote with the Party of Chaos. Kamala soon resigns, citing “anxiety problems.” Now president, Mr. Newsom proceeds to accelerate the wrecking of the old USA along the lines of his recent work in California. All D.C. gas stations are ordered shut to promote the transition to renewables. The D.C. Mall is declared the National Homeless Camp….
I called it a fantasy, but this may be their only move left as the nation utterly loses its patience with the “Joe Biden” fiasco and the escalating disorders of Western Civ take us into August. The mid-term election must be revamped at all costs, they’ll say, “to save our democracy.” A new pandemic is declared in early October, complete with lockdowns, while Google partners with Facebook to roll out a new vote-by-phone app. By some miracle, then, the Democrats add thirty more seats to their house majority and five in the Senate. We enter the new frontier of the Green New Deal and Build Back Better. In other words, the USA completely collapses.
A dark scenario, I confess, but doesn’t that seem but exactly where things are going? An epic crackup is upon us. Every place in the world is primed for meltdown, and a few lands in the periphery are already sinking. Sri Lanka is broke and out of gas after being set up as a WEF / Schwabenklaus low-carbon eco-state experiment. Panama is in revolt over extreme government corruption, food scarcity, and the after-effects of an especially severe two-year-long Covid lockdown that the rest of the world hardly heard about — perhaps because China has operational control over the vital Panama Canal and the CCP has operational control over the World Health Organization, which set up Panama as a lockdown lab project.
Of course, Europe is suddenly a magnificent mess with governments falling like duck pins, industry shuttered from lack of fuel, and citizens rising up against insane WEF diktats to drastically reduce livestock and shut down farming — in effect declaring food production an unacceptable environmental hazard. This, of course, after the governments of Euroland cut their own throats by self-sanctioning themselves out of Russian oil and natgas. It’s especially bizarre in Germany, the largest economy of the region, which had just this year conclusively realized and admitted that its “green energy” policy was a complete bust, forcing them to shut down major wind turbine installations and resort to producing electricity with coal. The governments of Merkel, and then Olaf Scholz, reveal themselves as the sheerest hypocritical idiots.
And now, the ground is even shifting under the CCP as China’s extravagant matrix of city-building, mortgage debt, and banking fraud rattles its financial system. What a surprise! Potent as it has been in bribing politicians around the world, infiltrating governments and cultural institutions in every land, and getting the news media to do their bidding, the CCP is apparently losing its grip on the Chinese people, who are sick of being locked down, tracked, and swindled. The tanks are out. This is not the same movie as Tiananmen Square, 1989. This is the CCP bankruptcy, an epic event that will thunder through “the global south,” sending Africa into famine and chaos and South America into yet another rotation of elites.
Pretty soon, it’s going to be every country for itself in this main event of the fourth turning (a.k.a. the long emergency). Global unity is a mirage, along with all the preposterous narratives of a world government. And in every country for itself, it’s going to be every community, every family, every person for itself until, emergently and painfully, everyday life can be reorganized from the ground up. People, get Ready.

Cannot have a potus and v-potus from the same state. That is the reason that Darth Cheney “moved” from TX to WY back in ’00.
As if they care about rule of law
Nothing in the constitution bars presidential and vice-presidential candidates from the same state from running, being elected, or holding office together; it only bars the electors from their home state from voting for both of them.
At best its a gray area and the Democrats tend to ignore black and white obvious laws and facts, guaranteed they’d run with this scenario if it comes down to it.
Had to go back and refresh my memory on why Darth “moved” his primary residence from TX to WY and you are correct. Shrub could not win the presidency without the electors from TX and the TX electors could not vote for 2 Texans, so one of them had to move. If Kumswallow and Gruesome decided to run together one of them would need to change primary residence.
I don’t think it will be a problem because Big Mike will be the VP selection and will take the nomination in ’24.
For the 10,000th time, Mike has a record. Well hidden from the Proles but not if she’s up for something like this. Of course as Rush used to say, “for Democrats, that’s a resume enhancement.”
U a RAYCISS for bringing up Mike’s pass. He jus be doin bidness and da man dun wronged him jus cuz he be black.
They can do anything they want.
Almost anything. If they commence firearms confiscation, some of us from the south and the midwest might teach them what the real reason for the 2nd Amendment was. At that point, it’s American Revolution 2.0 or Civil War 2.0 underway.
It’s too bad for the Germans. They used to be such nice people.
They made great cars and watches.
Plus, HK, SIG, Walther, Mauser, etc.
We beat them back in 1918 and they have hardly bothered us since then.
We ain’t that far away ….
Auntie loves a good Venn diagram. Such clarity.
What one lacks in courage, one can make up for in faith.
Intersectionality. That’s us!
Where’s the ‘strong black woman’ subgroup?
The Eurotrash are all about to turn on each other and us. Chairman Xi has summoned Spain, Italy, France and Germany to a private meeting in Beijing. Bribery is undoubtedly on the agenda along with don’t screw with Russia any more & FJB.
Interestingly, within minutes of Draghi resigning in Italy, Putin increased Italy’s gas supply 70%. That carrot and stick will have legs.
I would say we survive the chaos feel Mexico/US/Canada form a alliance/get rid of foreign controllers and we would be fine,we could cover our fuel/food ect.Sure,we would not have a lot of garbage to buy(is that a bad thing?!)but could have a decent standard of living in regards to food/fuel/roof over head ect.
I could be talked into that scenario as long as Fidel, Jr. is not allowed to run the country.
Too late for Canada. No go while Trudeau is alive. And btw, same for U.S. while Biden is still kicking. Mexico? 40 neutron bombs, then move in and get the oil.
James, my first reaction was ‘Oh hell no! We don’t need no more Messicans.
Then I thought, well, the beaners kicked the nogs straight outta Compton. Could be popcorn worthy for a good while.
Then I thought, what does it matter? (((They))) are going to HAARP us into starvation anyway.
Then I thought…
Mexico has never been an ally in WW. Canada was still run by Britain in WW2. Neither would be able to carry their share of the war. Mexico doesn’t have even functional law enforcement, and Canada is socialist beyond short term hope. Our only chance is the portion of our military that is not woke and the Militia–the 150 million armed American citizens. Note that Armed American Citizens have 20 times the firearms of Mexico’s and Canada’s total civilian and military/police owned firearms combined (and 70 times the U.S. military and police combined)
Gee wiz beav, I had no idea it was this bad.
Thx for the warning.
Ready or not the shit-storm is just only getting started: the next phase of the implosion and destruction of the West is imminent.
Next phase just announced. WHO has promoted monkeypox to global threat status. I guess I missed the headline about how the other 97% of the U.S. population is now doing the things that spread monkeypox.
Get ready? How does one get ready?
Yeah, it’s a 70’s rock song by Rare Earth
Boogie- GUNS, GOLD and a hideout.
I got that covered, wither I like it or not I’m still not ready for what is being described. I’m usually not emotionally ready for winter to hit, but it comes ready or not.
And that’s why the socialist Democrats plan to outlaw privately owned guns and then gold. Then they’ll wait for us to come out of our hideouts.
All too realistic a scenario…But in the US, I think some of the States in the South and Southwest would break away from the US under those circumstances…that may be wishful thinking, however….
… however, we waited too long?
Yeah. It’s wishful thinking for a lot of us in the south, too. When they pull the plug on Medicare, Social Security, and the VA as inducement to turn in our guns, that’s when it will happen. Those are the only U.S. assets we’re depending on, so when they go, we have Freedom, which, as you know, is “just another word for nothing left to lose.
I’ve been ready. Can we see the whites of their eyes yet?
Not yet but all the warning signs of Chaos are flashing.
Finish them off with your hatchet.
(((Commies))) destroy and tear down in order to build future income streams for themselves. This time we must at least try to convince our children to network and be more like the Amish, leave the usury and profiteers out of the mix. Let this murderous destruction of mankind be a lesson for all time.
On the flip side of history, when the TV tells you everyone should want that shiny bot to to run your household…..reject it. Anything they tell you to lust after…..reject it. Dedicate future generations to simple life or prepare to relive another orchestrated nightmare. This is about money, not ideologies or social justice or improving humanity…..just money.
With inflated fiat currencies you cannot end usury. A Gold standard can end usury as it is deflationary and when paid back is worth more than when lent according to the Austrian School.
Got my dried beans & Rice , dinty more stew several cases of bourbon and ammo . Prefer to trade , talk and work together thru this but if throw down we must so be it
Fuel, anon.
Don’t forget the fuel.
If you’re not ready to pass through the internecine turnstile now, it’s too late.
It’s not about preps; it’s mindset. It will be everyone for themselves and that’s the loneliest place on this planet.
If you’ve recognized that your most valuable possessions are those you share, then you’ve probably begun to winnow your personal spectrum to the bare bones of those who want to share their last crumb with you and yours. Otherwise…
It’ll be easier in small communities with potable water, arable soil and at least three days bike ride from a major metropolitan area.
The hordes of America’s Genghis Khan will arrive on bicycles.
wearing very nice footwear.
Lance’s time to shine, once more…
Oh, we seem to be headed towards global unity, I just don’t it means what they think or intend.
Everyone will be equally screwed.
People, get ready.
Amen
I’m already dying… of boredom. Bring it on, FFS!
