“The powerful are panicking, and so they should. Their secrets are leaking.” —Miranda Devine, The New York Post
As the Yule log burns down, and the trivialities of the season melt into air, the nation might ask itself how the authorities who run things went to war against the citizens of this land. I will tell you and it will probably make you angry: It started when the women of the professional and managerial class watched their avatar, Hillary Clinton, lose the 2020 election against a man who seemed the quintessence of everything they hated about Daddydom.
Donald Trump, flawed to perfection, wrecked the chance of the amalgamated successful women of America to run the national household. Out came the pussy-hats, the Wiccans, and the celebrities threatening to “blow up the White House.” Out came a savage animus against men generally, and a campaign to feminize them in retaliation — and then punish them for objecting to it. Up rose a social movement, Wokery, that had the earmarks of a histrionic religious mania, with Satanic overtones. Up rose the demons, the Antifa louts, the BLM arsonists, the drag queens.
Thus unrolled a national psychodrama that continues to spool out as every system, every business, every institution in our country wobbles and flies apart now. The men embedded in the professional and managerial class tried in 2016 to chivalrously protect their womens’ avatar and her steadfast followers and, failing ignobly that grim November day, then turned to actually attack their adversary, Donald Trump, with the explicit intent to destroy him by all means necessary. In the years-long process, they devolved into criminality, and in so doing they entered a vicious cycle of lying about everything they did to escape the consequences of their ostensible exercise in gallantry.
In effect, the people running things went from a war against a particular person to a war against reality and its twin sister, truth. Now they are deeply invested in unreality and untruth to the point where they have forgotten how this whole thing started and all they can do is desperately patch the dike they had to construct against a deluge of information composed of truth and reality coming at them like a tsunami rolling across the sea. The harder they work at this futile task of defense, the more absurd they make themselves, leading to ridicule, humiliation, and, finally condemnation in whatever remains of the legal arena, where their deeds will finally be judged.
The first stage of that outcome for them is pretending that none of it is happening. That’s why The New York Times and Washington Post ignore the news that the gallant knights of the FBI and several other tentacles of the Intel octopus mounted a ferocious, long-running psy-op through the new phenomenon of social media — that happened to rise in importance through this whole period of national discord. In effect, the intel agencies seized the transmitters (as Fidel Castro might put it) and used them very effectively to control their hallowed narratives.
The second stage is deploying a ruse to distract the public’s attention: That’s why CNN allowed Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the most accomplished liar in all of American politics, to set the stage on Sunday for this week’s criminal referrals against Mr. Trump to be issued out of the House Special J-6 Committee he sits on. That will give America something else to talk about than how they’ve been gaslit and deceived for years. If The Party of Chaos can only bring back The Insurrection to the spotlight, they will feel safe for a little while during the Christmas holiday — because shortly after the new year, there will be a different crew running the J-6 committee and, for the first time in a couple of years, they will be looking into neglected matters such as the FBI’s actual role in that event, and Nancy Pelosi’s failure to honor the then-president’s request for national troops to protect the Capitol building.
Between then and now, we must expect to see the release of Elon Musk’s Twitter files regarding the interactions between federal public health officials and the social network during the years of Covid-19. You understand that these officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, CDC chief Dr. Rochelle Walensky, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, and many others, lied about absolutely everything concerning the pandemic and continue lying to this moment about the putative remedy for it: mRNA vaccines, which happen to be killing a lot of people these days. That will be very serious business. Soon will come congressional inquiries, subpoenas, compelled testimony, and perhaps even criminal referrals.
Of course, the professional and managerial class also happens to be the most stalwart group of vaccine champions in the land and thus the most psychologically invested in thinking they did the right thing taking all those shots — while forcing as many others to submit, whether they consented or not. The psychology of previous investment is a prime generator of self-delusion. It looks like that class of people will be proven incorrect the hard way. It turns out, after all, that the mRNA “vaccines” were very effective at being deadly. The excess mortality has already kicked in. It’s 18 percent above normal, for instance, in Australia right now, because they’re keeping track. Our officials don’t want to keep track. They don’t want to know, and they certainly don’t want you to know. This is what you get when you make war against truth and reality.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

Truly an excellent insight into the current madness…
AGREED!!!
If the masses ever truly wake up to the government and corporate criminal cartel murder shot and lockdown madness it could be French Revolution 2.0.
I wouldn’t count on it but you never know.
It’d be time for the politicians and CEOs to put on their brown britches.
There was once a chance of the masses in America waking up, so they imported a new mass to America.
An un-vaxxed control group mass
My daily dose of optimism…a little hopium for the holidays.
“…where their deeds will finally be judged…” with ”ridicule, humiliation and finally condemnation…
Ummmhmmn. Not in a gajillion years.
If the deep state actors who gin our national narrative by blackmailing everybody who’s anybody – were roaches in a toaster and you fired up the elements, 98% would hop out and go back to Israel.
Where their deeds would finally be celebrated.
Like mine, in Enumclaw.
Get a room would ya ? Lol , Enumclaw huh ? Tahuya here , chances are ya never heard of it .

Soon will come congressional inquiries, subpoenas, compelled testimony, and perhaps even criminal referrals.
To whom will they be referred, AG Garland?
?w=600&h=507
Obviously while having pissed-off the wrong tools, Steve Bannon was/is doing something right
Steve Bannon is just as low of a piece of shit as the rest of them, but he broke ranks for self promotion.
He never impressed me. Sorry to those he has.
It truly is the asshole who gets shit done. Not worrying about feelings and such. No need for gaslighting or subterfuge, just forging ahead with what must get done. There is a need for the asshole.
The difference?
Bannon does not work for gov’t. All the others do…
I forgot he did not work for Trump.
“Soon will come congressional inquiries, subpoenas, compelled testimony, and perhaps even criminal referrals.”
I have no faith in any justice coming from this. Sound and fury. And I love Jim Jordan, former tough wrestler.
Power in the US emanates from DC, NY, Hollywood and Silicon Valley. The legal structures to hold anyone accountable are in the Southern District of New York and DC. DC is 93% democrat and Manhattan isn’t much different. So there’s your jury pool.
No doubt that a Conservative or any Trump supporter could expect a biased jury in either jurisdiction and the chances of having a judge who would grant a request for change of venue is minimal.
There is a reason I call it the Dept. of Just Us.
Power in the US emanates from the all-powerful ZOG …
There — FIFY …
“ZOG”
Just those who say they are, But are not.
satan. None other.
You beat me too it, 100 thumbs up!!
I’m slow today. I was going to say something similar.
Looks like a bunch of jakelegs to me. And what is unfortunate for the USA, the support republicOns have given the dude in the upper left with the stand with Israel hoax for years and years.
Fantastic analogy, framing the geopolitical struggle in terms of masculinity vs. femininity.
As we enter the Age of Aquarius and kick it off with a 4th Turning.
Well played, let us hope Musk remains active politically as he has been dropping some serious bombs, maybe enough already.
Like Powells interest rate hikes, doesn’t matter now if he hikes or not the damage is done Lagarde is toast, buckle up.
Along with many flippers and overpayers in the realm of Real Estate.
I don’t trust the Musk’s motives. He is government subsidised and he described himself as socially liberal and fiscally conservative. The socially liberal views and government hand outs make him untrustworthy and controllable.
I didn’t say I trust him.
He is dropping BOMBS!!!
BOMBS that you or I cannot. I’ve tried.
He is uniquely positioned on the left or in the center to poke into leftist bubble echo chambers.
Not sure if he is done but the damage is severe, many on the left have been exposed to some real shit, many for the first time. Pedo Satanist, Kill Shot, real Fascism, fuckin BOMBS have been dropped!!
Musk’s vulnerability is his close ties to several governments like the CCP and everybody else he needs to fuel his empire. He’s only the richest man on paper.
Musk is DoD. He is DoD #1 subcontractor, he is under orders. This is Operation. Certainly, he is not off the reservation with DoD.
So your CCP connex is plain junk.
Unless you expect me to accept joint DoD CCP operation, which I do not, perhaps peripherally, but not at the core. Adversaries.
A DoD, NY Banker anti Davos coalition is becoming more clear.
ESG, Woke, Great Reset, Green New Deal, or Davos et al. have all been dealt fairly serious blows recently. Davos is in real trouble, financially with both the East and the West, geopolitically on several cancerous fronts and with a Faustian China deal that might go south.
Who is behind BTC, whos is behind ETH or Tether or Binance? Heavyweights are throwing their weight around here, now.
Who has the Gold? This is next and will feature prominently in the end game.
Momentum is shifting, creating higher stakes and this looks to be an exponential feature, perpetual higher stakes.
It’s game on.
We have watched the set up, now its mid-game time and some bigger pieces are at play and being removed. If there is exponential progression then we will get to see some big pieces fall.
“Unless you expect me to accept joint DoD CCP operation, which I do not,..”
But of course not. ONLY joined at the hip for minor and inconsequential minutiae. Like gain-of-function Bio-Weapons production.
And EVERY OTHER entity You mentioned?
SAME.
Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].”
Sure, elements of DoD are joined, bought, compromised. But I subscribe to the multi, DoD is no singularity, especially now, it is fractured, just like the rest of the USA entity.
Same with the CCP but I’m less clear of or the lines of fracture.
And sure these lines fall across vectors of Spiritual Wickedness, but by the live of Jesus these lines are ephemeral. No?
“Ephemeral”?
Don’t wanna go all Beth Biblical on You…
Daniel 2:21 “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:”
Something is purty strange, across the spectrum. Close as i get to ‘certain’. About anything.
OTHER than the fact that i am certain that satan is the ruler of THIS World.
Dropping. Bombs.

Been going on since recorded history. Started.
I agree,I also don’t trust orange man either. The self proclaimed Father of warp speed vaxxnots. Anyone paying homage to zog isn’t paying homage to the American people. Zog is here to stay for now. Can lose your lively hood just for saying so, like Kanye. So much for land of the free home of the brave. Nothing free or brave about it these days.
I’m not certain this guy was or is a Trump supporter or not. Seems he was blowing some smoke around some time ago contemplating a 2024 POTUS run and sort of discounting Trump. Anyway, this is yet another example of the sorts republicOns have “elected”.
Arkansas governor says he supports the science behind COVID-19 vaccines
A very cogent, thought provoking analysis, Mr. Kunstler, and one which I tend to agree with. For what it’s worth, I am one woman who sees hillery clinton for the lying, thieving, murderous vermin that she is, likes The Donald in spite of his shortcomings, and loves men.
I despair at the ‘war’ on White heterosexual males, many of whom have contributed so much to our country’s wealth and prosperity. If only all of that negative energy were channeled into areas where it could make a difference, we’d all be better off. Ok, so I’m dreaming…
You’re not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy … and thanks for loving us White heterosexual men … we need and want you and many like you.
Merry Christmas … ‘Ahh, to sleep — perchance, to dream’.
Thanks Dorothy. I call these monstrous women the c–t brigades. They are everywhere, including in my own family and some former friends. Here is the incredible story of one of them: Let’s see. She snatched the husband of her best friend, who also was her own heartbroken spouse’s best friend, threw four teenage children of both families into various emotional hellholes because of these household breakups, and topped it off by threatening to call the cops on her same heartbroken spouse when he got an emergency loan on some jointly owned property to pay his overdue rent. On the morning she was to arrive to force him to ‘turn himself in’ he killed himself. She went on to re-educate herself in the Wiccan/feminist way, become the Treasurer of the local Democratic Party and to top it all off, now she collects her late spouse’s Social Security benefits as his ‘widow.’ When I last saw her, some months ago, she opined that President Biden should not have opened the federal petroleum reserves in an attempt to lower gas prices because those prices need to get higher now so the end of fossil fuels could come sooner. To me, she represents the c–t brigades very well indeed. They are the avatars of hatred and death and I wish every one of them their own special seat in Hell.. .
Sounds like an incarnation of the goddess Kali.
Like something from the Pit, anyways. That is truly horrific.
Lots of stories like hers–just a matter of degree. Many sensible young males have seen so much of this that they have no interest in marriage, children, or any other dealings with the c__t brigades.
True that. I am one of them. May they go back to the hell they spawned from,and take all this bullshit with them post haste.
And then they wonder when a guy snaps and slaughters everyone who fucked him over lol.
That poor bastard killed the wrong person…
“I am one woman who sees hillery clinton for the lying, thieving, murderous vermin that she is, likes The Donald in spite of his shortcomings, and loves men.”
Was it really a bunch of pissed off professional women who started all this woe, or was it the deep state lashing out in their panic over what Trump might do?
A great growing madness is sweeping the land. The “Tragic Comic Opera” I refer to.
https://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec22/madness12-22.html?
This country is dead.
We can debate when it happened, but not if.
Please hurry and finish the autopsy.
We have decisions to make.
Separation or violence our only good choices……
(Or continue our cowardly direction), the bad choice.
Agreed, except that’s not an either/or choice.
Every where I go Customer service sucks .I can’t even stand going to these stores anymore all self checkouts like a cattle pen .And these arrogant fat stupid cunts I fucking cannot stand that work in these places.
We have the numbers,not the organization. We need that to succeed,otherwise we all fail individually against the monster created long ago for us. Instead of debating they have been infiltrating and organizing, they have their own police,banks, militaries, nuclear weapons, fucking everything,what to we have? A few godamned civilianized weapons,and pitchforks? We need an organized underground,and all that implies. We need to be independent of the grid and government.
CHS money quote….
Those who see the madness for what it is have only one escape: go to ground, fade from public view, become self-reliant and weather the coming storm in the nooks and crannies where cause and effect, skeptical inquiry, humility, prudence and thrift can still be nurtured.
100 percent agree. I did that about 12 years ago.
But what about BENGHAAAZZIIII?
Look, the only way meaningful change is going to come about is through the complete demolition of America in its present incarnation.
Are you a traditional, heritage, normal American? Then your job now is to burn the whole thing to the ground, and rebuild your reality from the ashes. This is your only choice without my help- which will not come to you. I have had it with haughty, greedy, stupid, modern Americans, and will only work to destroy this abomination of a country. If this news pisses you off, this brings me joy.
On the bright side, my roommate, who spent his entire life as a gang member and hopeless wigger, has recently been red-pilled by Ye and his viral internet presence with Nick Fuentes. If this wretch can be converted from leftism and lifelong wiggery, the future isn’t totally lost. The goyim be knowin brobro.
Going to further the interests of Russia with my future efforts. Be mad about it. America can descend into idiocracy for all I care at this point. The white man has abdicated.
Abandon ship!
The war on men has been in plain view for decades.
Started against little boys.
That’s why I homeschooled my three sons. With a female teacher, if a little boy is full of energy and is not behaving like a little girl would in the classroom, then he’s considered a bad boy and is likely to be disciplined. I’m not excusing genuine bad behavior, which should be addressed. Boys were not made to sit still at a desk for 8+ (inc. homework) hours a day.
You got that right!
There are some teachers that ought to be erased!
Might be some validity to that, due to education degrees and the fact that they are not biologically related.
But the vast majority of good men were raised by their mothers when they were little boys. Their mothers seem to have been able to handle it.
I think historically, the men did not take over training the boys until they were a couple years from puberty.
Examples of modern institutions would be the following, perhaps.
In Scouting, cub scouts are under den mothers, at 11 they become boy scouts under the tutelage of men.
In Church, they go to catechism class under the women, then become altar boys under the tutelage of men.
In public school, they are under female teachers, but when they get older and into sports or science, it is under the tutelage of men.
As children, they are cared for by women. Afterwards, their dads take them hunting, camping, and teach them to work on cars and use tools.
I “felt” it in the corporate world. Good timing though in this world as now that I’ve left that world behind I’m in good company with older white men like me with snuff dribbling out the corners of the mouth. That’s enough people won’t pay much attention to you regardless being older white guy.
“Up rose a social movement, Wokery, that had the earmarks of a histrionic religious mania, with Satanic overtones. ”
– JHK
Great descriptor of Wokery. He writes with such verve.
The fun part of this will be Drs Falsi and Scarf tap-dancing in front of a House committee on the Pestilence. Auntie will even get a Tel Avision to watch that shit-show. Not that anything will come of it – the bulk of federal officed Repugnicants aren’t here to look out for electorate just their own nests, careers and portfolios – just for entertainment purposes.
We are going to need all the medicine that laughter, no matter how sad, can provide.
Tel-Avision.
That’s killer. Lol
The trouble with that criminal referral to the AG is that it is based on the testimony of witnesses who were never subjected to real cross-examination. It was totally cherry picked. Now, Garland is going to have to make it a real case that will actually stand up in a court of law. It is one thing to win a case in the court of public opinion, another at a real trial. If it even gets that far. And the government wouldn’t be going after some poor slob who took a selfie in Pelosi’s office on Jan 6., but someone with deep pockets being represented by top legal talent . This thing could have a Russiagate ending.
The only thing that matters is the venue. A DC jury would convict Trump of the assassination of Lincoln.
Gee, you think Trump’s lawyers might ask for a change of venue?
If Garland won’t do his job properly, then he can be impeached, too …
Based on recent history…two decades or so… nothing is coming of any of it. Zip, zero, nada.
Republican? To what form of invertebrate are you referring?
I know there are a couple of people in congress who seem to say the right words, and with emphatic mien to boot. Yet, nothing has been done for twenty and more years about the corruption and criminality shot through the democrat party, not to mention any comment on the corruption of elections (a state matter, to be sure).
Thanks for a new word!

a person’s look or manner, especially one of a particular kind indicating their character or mood:
“he has a cautious, academic mien”
“lose the 2020 election against a man who seemed the quintessence of everything they hated about Daddydom.”
Was that not 2016 election or what am I missing?

You got that right, DS. All bullshit. AB did not die that day. Fake shit. Just like this whole “country”. It’s all fake
Thanks racer — it is all fake. Yet the “conservative” talk show people just perpetuate the whole fake thing when they argue against the Jan 6 “insurrection” narrative by citing the “death” of AB as “proof” that trump didn’t do x, y, or z.
I post this video & the MM article often to help others see through the whole smoke & mirrors con job…
Stopped watching when it said Hollywood tear gas.
I can attest that it was real.
Relying on McCarthy to act as actual opposition is very optimistic.
How many are familiar w/ Martin Armstrong & his AI Socrates? armstrongeconomics.com
Based on the AI’s forecasts, he is publishing articles like today’s:
I believe it, and casualties will be very high. “Be faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life.”
STILL CAN’T GET IT HOW NANCY PELOSI SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OVER ROAD POTUS TRUMPS TROOP DEPLOYMENT TO PROTECT THE CAPITAL BLDG. SHE’S NOT EVEN IN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. POTUS TRUMP WAS COMMANDER IN CHIEF AND SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYEDA BATTALION AT LEAST.
“HOW NANCY PELOSI SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OVER ROAD POTUS TRUMPS TROOP DEPLOYMENT TO PROTECT THE CAPITAL BLDG.”
he was ONLY commander -in-chief.
Sickening and disgusting.
What I’ve been doing has been the right thing, and I will continue to prepare for the day these people rule absolute.
BULLSEYE Jim!!
