“People underestimate how much resistance to imperial edicts out of DC there is, they underestimate how many people are waiting for the fall, but they also misunderstand that this resistance is taking a muscular but passive form.” — Deep South SR on Twitter
Of course, the “Joe Biden” classified document scandal is less about the documents per se than it is about the Biden family business, which was taking large sums of money from shady foreign interests for unspecified services rendered. “Joe Biden,” the brand, is owned, perhaps to the degree that he can be called “a sell-out.” Selling out your country is kind of serious.
For instance, our country is right now deeply involved in a war between a Biden family client, Ukraine, and its angry relative, Russia. The USA has pumped more than $100-billion into Ukraine just this past year. That’s quite a return-on-investment for the million or so Hunter Biden grifted out of the Burisma gas company. It is alleged that Ukraine has operated as a gigantic international money laundry, especially since our State Department and Intel Community overthrew Ukraine’s government in 2014 and put in a series of errand boys.
Ukraine did not have to become a geopolitical hot-spot. We made it a problem on-purpose. The strategy, if you can call it that, was stated explicitly by SecDef Lloyd Austin: “to weaken Russia.” That was based on the NeoCon game theory that the USA had to maintain at least the appearance of dominance over as much of the world as possible — a.k.a. hegemony — at the very moment in history that America’s economy, culture, and institutions had entered a state of collapse, visible to everyone in the world. By the way, our efforts in Ukraine against Russia, have only strengthened Russia — its currency, its balance of trade, its own internal political security, and its military defenses.
The Ukraine fiasco has surely benefited America’s military contractors and the parasitical ecosystem that feeds off it. Ukraine has benefited not so much. To be blunt and concise, Ukraine will come out of this a much-diminished entity, with no ability to cause any more problems in that region of the world. The money laundry will be closing down. As that happens, recriminations will pour out of Ukraine, implicating many American officials in the laundry operations, including former Ambassador Marie “Masha” Yovanovitch and her circle. Wait for that.
So, the tussle over the docs is a smokescreen for those artful machinations. The appointment by praetorian Attorney General Merrick Garland of a special counsel, Robert K. Hur, to investigate the doc affair is the insurance policy. Mr. Hur’s job is to prevent any witness from testifying on these matters before a congressional committee on the grounds of protecting “an ongoing investigation.” You can bet that whichever committee takes on this hairball, it will find workarounds to overcome that gambit and start unraveling the grift behind the docs. It will get ugly.
The evidence for all that is neatly packaged in the notorious laptop computer that Biden family bag-man Hunter Biden dropped off in a Wilmington, DE repair shop and then “forgot about,” so the story goes. I wonder about that. My armchair psychiatrist’s take is that Hunter harbors a not-so-well suppressed wish to destroy the Big Guy, his father, who has sinned grievously against his son and made a monster of him. (A monster of depravity.) The classified docs that the Big Guy stashed in his various properties are quite secondary to the gigantic trove of deal memos with purchasers of influence (and photos of them with the Biden gang) stashed on that radioactive hard-drive.
I’ll never understand — and neither will you — how “Joe Biden” got propelled out of ignominious defeat in the earliest presidential primaries, to sweep the field on Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020. Around the same time, all his rivals magically dropped out of the race for the nomination. Some kind of message must have gone out from Deep State Central. Who wanted this licentious old grifter in White House? Well, probably his old boss, Barack Obama, and just about everyone in officialdom connected to the shenanigans in Ukraine dating back to 2014, and then the RussiaGate illegalities that ensued from it, especially former CIA boss John Brennan and his cronies. Under Mr. Obama, the whole US government had become something like a rotten log infested with sowbugs of grift, deceit, and malfeasance. Installing the dotty old bird in the White House would give Mr. Obama a stealth third term. Mostly, it would prevent the dreaded Golden Golem of populism, Donald Trump, from bringing any harm to that cabal and its, ahem, interests.
We do understand how “Joe Biden” won the 2020 election: via massive fraud engineered by fraud-master Marc Elias, king of the Lawfare trolls, who fine-tuned the mail-in ballot operation during the likewise engineered Covid-19 public health ruse. That wicked election business, of course, is just another grave matter requiring the utmost protection to prevent any inquiry from ever gaining traction. And yet all of it, the monumental government crime spree of recent years is all unraveling before our eyes — even before Jim Jordan or anyone else has even said boo from a House committee chair.
It’s all falling apart — along with America’s economy, our institutions, and our culture. The Biden family’s cover stories are collapsing, the government’s censorship and propaganda machine has thrown a rod, the Covid-19 story looks day-by-day like organized mass murder, election fraud issues still stalk the land despite every effort to squash them — and the grim reality coalesces that Russia is going to clean up the mess we made in Ukraine, and, in the aftermath, probably produce a shit-ton of evidence of American corruption and villainy there.
“Joe Biden,” the phantom president, has entered the air-lock, waiting to be jettisoned into the deep space of ignominy, chocolate mint chip ice cream cone in hand. Kamala Harris watches the action offstage in a fugue of anxiety and depression. She does not want to become president — and, guess what, nobody really wants her to be, either. She won’t even have to be induced to step aside. Her hysteria will be so great that not even the hypnotists of the Intel Community will be able to calm her down. She’ll run shrieking from it back to California. The levers of control finally fail. By a caprice of history, and the genius of the founding fathers, Kevin McCarthy lands in the White House. A page turns. The coup is finally over. That’s my fantasy du jour.

There’s a difference between positive and Pollyanna, and Kunstler is the former. We need to keep our hope intact, or we won’t even resist. Hope is a huge part of any fight (and bourbon may serve as part of hope, ha ha . . . ). Despair is aid to the enemy. And going down fighting is the only way to live, anyway.
“Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing things historians usually record; while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks of the river.”
― Will And Ariel Durant
Thank you.
I have been looking for that quote for decades. I remember reading it, but I couldn’t remember which volume in that series it came from so I paraphrased it for years.
Were there any truer words ever written about human history?
You’re welcome, and thank you.
“A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within. Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos. It may be true that you can’t fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.” ~ Will Durant
(Kinda like terrain vs. germs . . . immunity must be cultivated.)
“In the end, nothing is lost. Every event, for good or evil, has effects forever.” ― Will Durant, The Story of Civilization
https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/75488-the-story-of-civilization
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Civilization
The Story of Civilization (1935–1975), by husband and wife Will and Ariel Durant, is an 11-volume set of books covering both Eastern and Western civilizations for the general reader, with a particular emphasis on European (Western) history.
The series was written over a span of four decades.
The first six volumes of The Story of Civilization are credited to Will Durant alone, with Ariel recognized only in the acknowledgements. Beginning with The Age of Reason Begins, Ariel is credited as a co-author. In the preface to the first volume, Durant states his intention to make the series in 5 volumes, although this would not turn out to be the case.

Never give in. Never give up. And laugh your tits off the whole time. It’ll kill ’em.
The Ludwig von Mises Institute’s official motto is “Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito,” which comes from Virgil’s Aeneid, Book VI; the motto means “Do not give in to evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it.” Early in his life, Mises chose this sentence to be his guiding principle in life.

Goodness will triumph:
Becoming a modern society is about industrialization, urbanization, and rising levels of literacy, education, and wealth. The qualities that make a society Western, in contrast, are special: the classical legacy, Christianity, the separation of church and state, the rule of law, civil society…People define themselves in terms of ancestry, religion, language, history, values, customs, and institutions. They identify with cultural groups: tribes, ethnic groups, religious communities, nations, and, at the broadest level, civilizations. People use politics not just to advance their interests but also to define their identity. We know who we are only when we know who we are not and often only when we know whom we are against… There can be no true friends without true enemies. Unless we hate what we are not, we cannot love what we are. These are the old truths we are painfully rediscovering after a century and more of sentimental cant. Those who deny them deny their family, their heritage, their culture, their birthright, their very selves! They will not lightly be forgiven.
Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World
You’re not supposed to hate what you are not. You are supposed to love thy neighbor as thyself.
Separate state from humanity, not just from Christianity.
It already is, anyway.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair; we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed, always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our body.
“Do not give in to evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it.”
Guiding principle of Mises but yet that is what has been the overwhelming attribute of this country since the murder of JFK and his brother: evil, evil evil=LBJ, nixon, clinton, bush 1 and bush the vacant, obama, biden. Trump not notably evil but vacant, vulnerable, and naïve.
Couple this fine discussion with the earlier one of wolf packs. They fit well and describe the character and nature of the path.
Do not tire. Do not lose faith.
TPTB want us to throw up our hands and despair.
Refuse to comply!
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
-Marcus Aurelius
And ammo up. God helps those who help themselves.
Beautiful, from a guy who ruled the then-known world. And my favorite Marcus Aurelius quote of all time:
“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”
The best translation of “Meditations” by far is by Gregory Hays.
Your quote comes from that translation.
Well done.
“There is but one thing of real value – to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.” ~ Marcus Aurelius
Here is the truth. Life is one dam thing after another, then you die. You work like hell all your life, then you leave this world with nothing.
The only thing that makes any difference is this, Is there a God and does your Soul continue?
We are all just passing through.
If Kevin McCarthy landing in the White House is your fantasy du jour, you may want to upgrade your porn supply.
The thing I like about Kunstler, is that he can rip these fantasies out like clockwork, twice a week.
Always look forward to Mondays and Fridays for his latest clusterfuck, and, there’s quite a bit of truth underlying most of his stuff.
I like that he’s been keeping a list. When the time is ripe for retribution, we’d hate to leave anybody out.
Retribution is a good word.

Jimmy Kunstler’s writing it down
Roger that, Paleo. When I was in CA, I knew McCarthy personally, as he was the rep for my district and I was on the BOD of the Nevada City CA Chamber of Commerce. He was a regular attendee at our annual Installation Dinner from about 2010 on.
He was sort of McCain’s mini-me during those times. The MIC loved the guy. Today he is one of Country 404’s biggest boosters, voting for every $ that goes down that sewer drain.
Jim is right though, McCarthy has had his eye on the Oval Office…
Unless Gaetz & Co have some serious leverage, he will not be controllable.
Dominion voting systems will decide who is to serve Davos next in the Offal Office.
Just as last time.
Oh, and as in Brazil, most recently.
dominion’s election fraud, thanks eric schmidt, obama’s tech guy. a real doer.
Dominion is just a symptom of the declining competency of the ruling class. They didn’t use to need direct vote manipulation so often.
Sorry, Jim, but Kamalaho will not step aside until she has selected a new VP and (s)he has been approved by CONgress. Big Mike in ’23.
I’m not confidant that Kamala will step down. She is a junior Hillary. Corrupt, vicious, even sadistic – given that she cackled while as California Attorney General she refused to release prisoners who had been found innocent. She had THE most left-wing voting record in the US Senate. I shudder to think what she will do with the ring of power.
The (p)residency is not a “ring of power”. If it were, Trump really would be Emperor right now.
Abolish the state and this power-favoring argument vanishes at once.
The only thing any power seeker doesn’t want is for the masses to stop wanting leaders.
Kamala is like the guy standing in front of Mike Tyson in round 3. You just can’t believe it isn’t over already. It’s at this point a little voice in the back of your mind starts whispering “this shit could all go suddenly sideways. We’re in uncharted territory.”
She already has the cock ring of power in her mouth.
Were you the one who coined the phrase “I hope she gags on an 18″ n****r cock”?
If they actually do that, then it will come out that Moochell is a Mike.
And if that happens, Barry is never going to be able to do the Haj, and even set foot in a Muslim country again. Not even his home country of Indonesia.
And as rain is wet, Barry would never allow that to happen, he’s married to Islam, more so than Mike, his “wedding” ring that he has been wearing even before he met Mike Robinson, was symbolic of that.
That’s why they killed Joan Rivers just for joking around about that.
Big Mike is a no go. She has a criminal record and not from when she was a minor. That, along with her poison vegetable garden fraud should be more than enough. Plus, I don’t think she is exactly a ‘people person.”
Someone mentioned just last week about never having seen any photographs of “Michelle” ever being pg.
If Obomber had a son, his spouse would have a uterus.
They said they had to have help conceiving the girls. Lord only knows what or how.
“help” = the Nesbitts
One has to wonder if Epstein didn’t have hidden cameras in all of Chicago’s bathhouses.
You know he did.
There will be an airplane crash soon if they’re in a hurry. If they’re smart and patient there could be a car crash. Heels up Kamala will be on board.
Benedict Biden, got a ring to it.
Benedict Bidet
Robinette the Rascal
for fun assume BO et al gave biden the presidency on a platter, we can’t forget that joe is/was dumb/depraved enough to believe it was all legit.
he’s a reprobate in classic apostacy.
Both can be true at the same time. And probably are.
biden’s so dumb that for 60 yrs he thought quesadilla was spanish for “what’s the deal”.
Wow. Excellent wordplay.
WAAATTT
Hes THE perfect demoncrap representative.
I can think of few others in this same league although they are trying. Like hank johnson, Hirono whats her face, shiela jackson who is vying for the most ugly trophy against mad max waters. Thats just barely scratching the surface too. Its a requirement to be the most vile, perverted, underhanded pathological liar and thief, if you want to be a demoncrap rep.
Anything else to these demon spawn is unthinkable.
From the very beginning, and always has been
And forever will be. He was ready to prostitute himself in his own words. Ironically, he was too young. At least those weren’t pedos/sarc.
There’s literally no arguing the point.
Simplicity: they are all freaks in one way or another.
Freak? Need a job? Apply at the Biden Administration.
Didn’t they put Fetterman in charge of that?
Has Uncle Festtermann been awarded
the chair of the Senate “Select Commitee On Neck Lumps And Goiters” yet?
He only ran in the first place to.avoid being indicated for what he did in Ukraine.
I suspected he was the only one craven and depraved enough to submit so completely as a puppet. The rest of them had more pride. That also explains Kamala.
He only ran in the first place to.avoid being indicated for what he did in Ukraine.
What was we guilty of in Ukraine?
Stretching out everyones cashmere sweater head holes like George?
I suspect part of the reason he was installed was to mock us/U.S.
Xactly correct.
The only time in his wretched life he’s ever earned an “A”.
No doubt about it.
Yeah, Obama was pretty in your face too. I mean an actual commie, pinko, fag in the whitehouse.
You forgot “raped the babysitter”.
Diddled the daughter?
That chump is in the Oval Office because all those things are resume enhancements.
I have the contrarian opinion that there really isn’t a “masterplan” or maybe I should say, ways to implement it.
Who/whatever is actually pulling the strings has way less control of the future than most think.
It seems to me most energy is being devoted to covering up past sins than imposing what may have been “the plan”.
Everything is starting to break down worldwide and I think our next president will be from the military and Kunstler’s fantasy of the perpetrators being brought to justice will not happen because it will be all anyone can do just to keep people from starving and killing each other in a civil war .
“everybody has a plan until you get punched in the face’
-Mike Tyson-
“I think our next president will be from the military”
very sincerely hope you’re wrong on this one;
if you’re not, we may find ourselves in the midst of a civil insurrection that’ll make the Civil War look like a game of pat-a-cake.
Look at it this way: if it’s that Milley guy we won’t have to pay for any more ribbons for his uniform.
I, too, have a contrary view, but it’s different from yours. It’s based on this statement from the article:
I think the strategy is the collapse of the U.S., NOT the crushing or dismemberment of Russia. I think the chief evidence is the “sanctions”-that-are-not-sanctions that have actually improved Russia’s economy as well as their standing vis-a-vis other nations.
The second biggest piece of evidence is the simultaneous antagonizing of China over Taiwan.
These match with multitudinous evidence domestically, all pointing to the destruction of the dollar, the collapse of the economy, the dilution of the citizenry with immigrants, the infringements of rights too numerous to count, the hollowing out of the military, the disemboweling of the culture, the promotion of deviancy, the worship of death, and the actual surreptitious poisoning of the populace, all while encouraging authoritarianism and globalism.
Ordo ab Chao.
ain’t no greater “chao” than the “chao” that will ensue upon the collapse of the U.S. and the West.
Seems that way.
To me, the Russia/Ukraine/NATO thing might be a distraction that all parties are in on, untold fortunes have been made on all wars….but then maybe it is the wildcard and it is real.
My point is the “plan” to degrade our culture through education, entertainment, drugs, retributions, inclusion, uncontrolled immigration, electric everything, clean energy, ain’t gonna work.
Yes, it is working now but only because the real problems coming at us have not hit yet.
No one is going to give a rats ass about transgender rights and illegal immigrants when they don’t know when their next meal will be.
Cultural history is not so much cyclical as it is a pendulum go back and forth. I see the future being way more conservative going forward….if there is a civilized future.
I don’t think our views differ in the slightest:
I think the third piece of evidence is in your penultimate paragraph where you might include Europe (excluding Hungary), Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.
I’m still looking at Germany post-WWI remembering that while Clio doesn’t like to repeat herself, she sure does like to rhyme
Well said, sums things up nicely.
First collapse of E.U. , then U.S. Was going to happen anyway but thry are hurrying it along.

Hitler was a reaction against the madness and degradation of Germany during the Weimar period. Same Woke insanity then that we see today.
Hitler had the right idea, “racial hygiene”.
He just went about it all wrong.
Right idea, right time. Maybe the Germans should have recruited a real Kraut.
Maybe, but never discount first-mover advantage in an Idiocracy. Good folks delay while an urban wasteland warlord slouches towards our Bethlehem to be born. (Apologies to W.B.Yeats)
An american Idi Amin/Mobutu Sese Seko will happen much faster than some intricate Mein Kampf being scribbled out from free speech prison.
You mean he won’t be holding an ice cream cone and wearing a diaper?
Make no mistake, they have evil plans. Ever heard of the WEF, Bilderbergers, CFR.?
Jeez, from the military?-the latest crop of political military “leaders” would cause more alarm than any of the other possibilities, save maybe cameltoe.
The USSA and it’s Capitol of New Rome are truly a den of evil cocksuckers. I hope we survive the hell that’s coming but I’m very doubtful.
Quit talking about Kamala that way.
As of 12:01 today they can shit can Joe Bidet, and Camala Harris can finish out the rest of his “term” and then serve two full terms as President.
Unless the CIA takes out another president, there is no way for this to happen this quickly.
How hard is it to convince the public that an 80 year old dementia riddled buffoon, vaxxed to the max with two previous brain surgeries didn’t just go splat “doing his morning routine of 100,000 pushups?”

This is a plot that could have been lifted in its entirety from a Dukes of Hazard script,starring FJB as Boss Hogg! Featuring Hunter as Rosco P. Cotrane and Kameltoe Harris as Daisy Duke.
How DARE you insult Daisy Duke like that!

“My armchair psychiatrist’s take is that Hunter harbors a not-so-well suppressed wish to destroy the Big Guy, his father, who has sinned grievously against his son and made a monster of him. (A monster of depravity.)”
I think this is a good observation. I have had this thought as well.
What is happening is hard to understand, because it is neither intelligent or logical. It is an evil conglomeration of greed, egos, and psychopathy that is difficult for the rational person to fathom. There are agendas, and within the agendas, are other agendas, all in a state of flux that changes with developments.
The players in the game must be willing to drop a cause or position at any point and to take a different position should their ultimate goals require that. They have no ethical or moral restraints, only the instincts of what is going to benefit them the most going forward.
Enemies become allies, and allies become enemies depending on the roll of the dice. The common people used to have some slight control over excesses in the system, because those in power needed the votes of the masses to retain power. That sadly is no longer the case. From now on, elections will be decided by algorithms and not popular support. The only chance for reform now is to refuse to vote in such numbers that the governments illegitimacy becomes undeniable, but there is little to no chance of getting enough people to understand that to make any difference.
“What is happening is hard to understand, because it is neither intelligent or logical.”

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.

A fringe ideology….
The fringe ideology of “constitutional sheriffs” is attracting believers within Texas law enforcement
Last summer, the sheriff of Coryell County in Central Texas took to an elevated platform in a small Las Vegas ballroom and made an unusual announcement: He was a “born-again sheriff,” he said, having “realized that I wasn’t doing my job 100%.”…
In Vegas, he told the audience that he wanted to protect America from “globalists that are coming to destroy our nation,” saying “the moment we start acting like we are Americans, we are going to take our country back.”
First elected in 2016, Williams is part of the growing “constitutional sheriff” movement, which claims that sheriffs have the power to override federal and state authority on matters from border enforcement to gun control to election security.

ILLUMINATION: THE STATUTE OF LIBERTY IS AN OCCULT SYMBOL
THE AMERICAN BABYLONIANISM
Introduction
(Alexander Light) The Statue of Liberty has become the most cherished symbol of the United States of America. What we were NOT taught in school were the truly significant facts regarding the true nature of the Statue.
Those pertinent facts that remain largely unknown revolve around the true history of the Statue’s inception as well as the meaning and significance behind the statue.
French sculptor, Frederic Bartholdi, designed the Statue of Liberty. Bartholdi did not originate the concept of the statue.
The idea for creating a statue of liberty and freedom was first proposed by another Frenchman by the name of Edward Laboulaye.
It was Laboulaye’s idea and determination during the American Civil War that carried the idea from a simple notion to an actual project.
Laboulaye, a French Freemason proposed the idea of a giant statue replicating a goddess that the Masonic movement idolized. Laboulaye proceeded to raise the financial support and commission Bartholdi to provide the sculpture of this goddess of illumination from ancient times.
What deity was this? It was the goddess known by various names. Laboulaye and his fellow Freemason, sculptor Bartholdi referred to her as “Libertas” but she was also an early adoption by Romans of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar.
We’ll need to follow the research on the goddess connections to fully understand this statue’s meaning.

Jill will do her damndest to keep the Old Fart warming the Oval Office chair. When push comes to shove she may not prevail, but only fools would think she is not keeping her powder dry.
Glad that was added.
The rush to destroy Russia is motivated by Russia’s selling oil for “other than dollars”, followed by their putting a Ruble floor under the price of gold. IOW, a currency backed by its ability to purchase valuable commodities.
“I have seen England pass three or four times through such critical seasons as I have described. Through such seasons the United States will have to pass, in the course of the next century, if not of this. How will you pass through them? I heartily wish you a good deliverance. But my reason and my wishes are at war, and I cannot help foreboding the worst. It is quite plain that your Government will never be able to restrain a distressed and discontented majority. For with you the majority is the Government, and has the rich, who are always a minority, absolutely at its mercy. The day will come when, in the State of New-York, a multitude of people, none of whom has had more than half a breakfast, or expects to have more than half a dinner, will choose a Legislature. Is it possible to doubt what sort of Legislature will be chosen? On one side is a statesman preaching patience, respect for vested rights, strict observance of public faith. On the other is a demagogue ranting about the tyranny of capitalists and usurers, and asking why anybody should be permitted to drink champagne and to ride in a carriage, while thousands of honest folks are in want of necessaries. Which of the two candidates is likely to be preferred by a working man who hears his children cry for more bread? I seriously apprehend that you will, in some such season of adversity as I have described, do things which will prevent prosperity from returning; that you will act like people would, in a year of scarcity, devour all the seed-corn, and thus make the next year, a year not of scarcity, but of absolute famine. There will be, I fear, spoliation. The spoliation will increase the distress. The distress will produce fresh spoliation. There is nothing to stay you. Your Constitution is all sail and no anchor. As I said before, when a society has entered on this downward progress, either civilization or liberty must perish. Either some Caesar or Napoleon will seize the reins of government with a strong hand; or your Republic will be as fearfully plundered and laid waste by barbarians in the twentieth century as the Roman Empire was in the fifth; with this difference, that the Huns and Vandals, who ravaged the Roman Empire, came from without, and that your Huns and Vandals will have been engendered within your country by your own institutions.” -Thomas Babington Macaulay. March 24, 1860.
Question is, when did it become obvious?
I think people give too much credit to Barack Obama. He was never in charge of anything, really. He was a puppet just like most of the others who’ve occupied the White House in recent decades; doing the bidding of plutocrats and the Deep State. The Obama crowd were all grifters mid level hacks doing the bidding of Zbigniew Brzezinski and his crew of megalomaniacal globalists.
Biden has in D.C. for forty plus years and never opposed a war, police action or CIA intervention so the MIC was fully behind him (until recently, the classified files issue is going to be his undoing). Let’s not forget Biden is a self-proclaimed Zionist but I don’t think this will save him, it didn’t save Trump and he had more of the people on his side than Biden ever will.
America is a first class banana republic only the most comatose, braindead and bamboozled people can’t see it. The moral rot and corruption are overwhelming, the end of the US empire is at hand.
Yeah, I have been saying the same thing about Obama too. I think it is funny when people say he is somehow still pulling the strings.
I doubt he ever pulled any strings. He was selected groomed and pushed early on in Chicago. He lost handily to Bobby Rush when he ran against him for congress but “lucked up” in later political races for the Illinois state senate and US Senate when his opponents “dropped out”.
Nothing important anyways. Being prez does give you at least some latitude to pull some strings.
But but but Dan says it is better than anywhere else!

One need merely research the term. Banana Republic.
1855-1880
“In the mid-19th century, public demand for tropical fruits led railroad industrialists such as Henry Meiggs and Minor C. Keith to enter the fruit business. This early business laid the foundation for one of the most powerful companies of the twentieth century.”

Not gonna waste any more time*, look for Yourselves.
*Ultimately, the Panama Canal may even be mentioned in the link.
Hint: Comparatively little effort will be required to get ‘There’ if not.
Thanks for the editorial corrections and ads.
What of Bidens hot mic incident at trump’s inauguration? “God save the queen ” he said.
Because the People never stood up to the corruption, they became corrupt themselves.
I’ve seen and felt so much simmering rage lately out there, if you even accidentally brush against someone while passing by them in the grocery store they turn to you with murder in their eyes, and don’t even get me started about the wild eyed tailgaters. We are all just one dead battery or cracked molar away from disaster domino-ing us down. We are, indeed, monsters.
…”they underestimate how many people are waiting for the fall”…amen brother, that is exactly where the patriots are at this point in time!
Ohhh. Thought it was a “Tell-All”, one of the many variants of Yesteryear.
