“[This] is what happens when you invent your own reality. You end up bamboozling yourself.” — The Sirius Report on Twitter
If you think about it at all, can you come up with any good reasons why our country has involved itself in the Ukraine war? To defend democracy, many say? An emptier platitude does not exist in the vast slippery lexicon of spin. To thwart Russia’s imperial overreach? You apparently have no clue about Ukraine’s history, ancient or modern. To incite an overthrow of the wicked Putin by his own people? The Russian president is more popular there now than even John F. Kennedy was here in 1962.
There actually are no good reasons for what we are doing in Ukraine, only bad reasons. Mainly, stoking the war there diverts Americans attention from our own problems, which is to say the titanic failures of America’s political establishment. The USA is falling apart from a combination of mismanagement, malice, and negligence. Our economy is a tottering scaffold of Ponzi schemes. Our institutions are wrecked. The government lies about everything it does. The news industry ratifies all the lying. Our schoolchildren can’t read or add up a column of numbers. Our food is slow-acting poison. Our medical-pharma matrix has just completed the systematic murder and maiming of millions. Our culture has been reduced to a drag queen twerk-fest. Our once-beautiful New World landscape is a demolition derby. Name something that hasn’t been debauched, perverted, degenerated, or flat-out destroyed.
And so, the “Joe Biden” show is busy ginning up nuclear war hysteria because that’s all it has left for manipulating public emotion. The Covid-19 derangement lost its mojo in 2022 and the population has only just begun to grok the all-causes death disaster underway courtesy of Pfizer and Moderna (and the CDC with the FDA). Did you notice, by the way, that the CDC just added those unapproved, still-experimental shots to the childhood vaccine schedule, considered official “guidance” that is followed by virtually every school system in America. Rochelle Walensky did that despite massive evidence that the “vaccines” damage childrens’ hearts, nervous systems, reproductive systems, and immune systems.
Do you know why Ms. Walensky did that? Because adding the mRNA shots to the childhood schedule supposedly confers permanent immunity from legal liability for the drug companies, even after the current emergency use authorization (EUA) runs out. The catch to that cozy arrangement is if there was any fraud committed on the public in the release and administration of those products, the companies lose their immunity and can be sued until there is nothing left of them but the paperclips. Plus, the executives may be liable for criminal prosecution. Hard time.
One Brooke Jackson, a technician involved in the sketchy Pfizer drug trials, and who directly witnessed the procedural violations as they occurred, is currently suing Pfizer under the False Claims Act (31 U.S. Code § 3729) saying that the company defrauded the government. Pfizer’s lawyers have asked the judge to dismiss the case on the grounds, they said in court, that, “We did not defraud the government. We delivered the fraud that the government ordered.” So now, millions of schoolchildren in this land will be subject to compulsory harmful mRNA shots in order to cover the Pharma companies’ multi-billion-dollar asses. Doesn’t that sum up our national predicament nicely? Way to go, Rochelle. Don’t think nobody noticed.
It’s also worth pondering whether we are neck-deep in the Ukraine morass because Volodymyr Zelensky is blackmailing “Joe Biden” over the mysterious Biden Family business operations that took place there directly following the US-orchestrated Maidan revolution that overthrew Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovich in 2014. Remember “The Big Guy’s” earnest efforts to get rid of the Ukrainian state prosecutor who was looking into the affairs of the Burisma gas company that invited Hunter Biden and his associate Devon Archer onto the board of directors. Of all people in Western Civ… these two Americans… with no knowledge of or experience in the natgas industry. Weird, a little bit. Do you suppose Mr. Zelensky still has the prosecutor’s files in his possession?
Then, of course, there is the bizarre matter of the Nord Stream pipelines caper, lately disclosed by the scrupulous reporter, Seymour Hersh, as a US naval operation. We blew them up. Four EU member Nations (also US NATO allies) held a combined half-ownership in the pipelines (the other half held by Russia). European industry and households depended on a steady supply of that reasonably-priced gas to continue modern life there. Both President “Joe Biden” and Deputy Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, promised the news media (and the American public) that the pipeline would “be no more” if a Russian military operation crossed into the Donbas. Well, sonofabitch, the pipelines were “no more” as of last September.
Was that an injury to Russia? Well, yes, though Russia has found work-arounds for selling its natgas elsewhere than northern Europe. Do you realize, though, that it was every bit as much an act-of-war against our supposed allies. None of the NATO countries with a stake in the North Streams have made a peep so far about the shocking disclosure. Which made lead a casual observer to ask whether Western Civ has gone plumb insane. Maybe so, in which, case perhaps, it deserves to suffer. After a while — not such a long while, either — modern life will be but a memory in northern Europe.
Somehow the specter of unintended consequences looms over all this mischief. My guess is we just haven’t seen them yet… and when we do, they will be ferocious. For starters, NATO will be another thing that is no more. And our country will have to go about our blustering war-hawkery without any back-up or convenient staging-areas for fomenting more shenanigans in a far-away region where we have no real national interest, just a certain zeal for creating unnecessary trouble and hardship in a world that already has more than it requires.
Remember what his old boss, Barack Obama said about the former Veep: “You can never overstate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.” What a prophet that man is! Under “Joe Biden,” the USA has been slip-sliding sideways and backwards into a realm of darkness unimaginable a few years ago. But now, something is heaving through the public sensibility, as spring marches north in America. It feels like a sharp change in attitude, a refusal to continue acting like a reality-optional society. It’s crackling through the air like a rumor of liberation in a hostage crisis. Can you hear it?

With the Nord Stream reveleation, I wonder if the average German considers the U.S. an ally or enemy…
The average German hasn’t heard about that revelation.
Depends , 1981 Regan bad, Soviet Union good.
2020 Joe Biden good, Russia bad.
Biden should have gone to prison for all he and his crack head boy did. Instead, he was installed as the president because his corruption was easily manipulated by the deep state criminals.
Fuck Biden. Believe Trump? Come on, Fuck Trump.
By way of comparison, you are an idiot.
It’s all a Khazarian PSYOP.
ALL of it.
“The government lies about everything it does.”
Please, the official term is “perception management” now.
Ha ha ha. They lie when their lips are moving, don’t they. Those hokey conspiracy theorists were right all along! Jeez! And just today, West Va, Maryland and other points are receiving a light dusting of ‘ashes.’ Not from New Palestine though! No No. It’s all OK there. Probably from some harmless dust storm in Nebraska. We are soooo screwed.
Dust or white powder?
Where is the analysis report from the samples?
So Obama and his minions cooked up a plan to put him in office so he could continue to “fuck things up” with Obama pulling the strings. I hope someone sees Obama as a useless idiot and takes care of him and his minions accordingly after the country is in flames.
things are just going to continue downhill from bad to worse until the “minions” are rooted out – completely.
Obeyme is just a tool as well. You don’t think the crackers in charge are going let an eggplant have any real power, do you?
The power source is mass compliance.
Mary, ABSOLUTELY spot on but need to go one step more on who OWNS Obama.
Obama and Biden are both useful Idiots for Soros the puppet master to continue his stated goal of destroying the USA. Open border, Biden attacking the oil business to double the cost of gas and diesel, etc.
PLEASE see the photos near the bottom of this article!!!
Obama has Susan Rice & Valerie Jarrett installed in Biden’s control group to handle his scripts,
write EOs he admitted he does not read, and shuffle him around to the fake stage for his videos.
After you see the photos of Obama with Soros’s son picking Kamala to be the V.P.,
you MUST SEE this Glenn Beck review of Soros!!!
Did not watch. Beck pic looks demonic.
Then you missed a chance for obtaining facts about the Fox censorship w/regard to Soros.
Fuck Obama, Fuck Trump, Fuck Biden. Screwed America? Pretty much.
We need a revolution, it will take something on the scale of a 9/11 too wake the sheep…maybe when the realization dawns that they killed their kids with the jab, destroyed the food supply and looted their life’s savings…jus sayin, never give up your guns.
The government wants to declare a national emergency. That way they get to suspend the Constitution. Then they can take the guns and impose a wealth tax.
Molon labe, motherfuckers!
The end of Day 1 some of the people will have “found” armored vehicles with belt fed machine guns etc. It doesn’t just go one way. Of course, if chaos is the goal that would sure get it.
Agreed on the first two sentences. Not so much the third.
Was it Connecticut that tried to ban “assault” rifles a few years ago? And the state police told them that if they wanted them, they would have to go round them up themselves, because he wasn’t sending his troopers to do it.
And even if they try to get them from the national registry (NICS), there are millions that may not have made it on there. Or so I’ve heard.
And then there are all of the tragic boating accidents, unreported break ins, etc.
Lay in the precious metals, folks.
They are not following the Constitution NOW!
Beat me to it.
And even “the” CONstitution is not following the first constitution, which it illegally replaced: the Articles of Confederation.
Didn’t take the Mofo’s long to take over did it.
The U.S. has been under a national emergency since 1931.
At the start, 9/11 put me more deeply under their spell. It took years of cogdis to break it. Not sure an event such as that would do it. Has to be a far more personal assault; like grid down for example. The tales they weave are effective against the masses.
Fuck- I knew in 2 minutes it was all fake and gay. At least you eventually woke up to that. How about waking up to the flat earth- once you open your eyes to that you realize everything is fake- no big bang, no nukes, no gravity, no satellites all fake, fake, fake. We live in a world of illusions.
It’s admittedly scary to go there but you should either get the courage to go all the way or go home.

Biblical cosmology! I get that too… 😊 And yes, I have strong doubts nukes exist. The fear alone is enough.
Na- nothing will wake up the losers.
Not a total dumbass, maybe…the Patriot Act. Who is dumbass?
Does JK really think Biden is blackmailable by Zelensky?
The guy is the US puppet, he’s in a war, his town and probably his cabinet are crawling with CIA spooks, US military in country, and Russia taking the blame even if Z overdoses on blow.
Inside a mafia operation, everyone is compromised. It is what holds The Familia together so tightly.
La Cosa Humanity
Keep your enemies closer.
Biden is ABSOLUTELY blackmailable by Zelensky. Biolabs, for one, but mostly kickbacks.
This thing has the possibility to go seriously sideways with the developments in Moldovia. If you are not aware what is going on check the “Duran” website…
Got a link?
They drag their conversations out, but I listen to them when I’m doing other stuff like darning socks or crocheting underwear.

I watched one of the videos, in which the commentator had the opinion that this war has reached the point is at now, not due to any sort of plan, but of a series of serious miscalculations on both sides. I have to admit, seeing as this thing has the potential to go nuclear, that idea made me very uncomfortable……
So like , does this mean Putin is a ” conspiracy theorist ” now ?
Wiki-snopes , etc.
The New World Order (NWO) is a conspiracy theory that hypothesizes a secretly emerging totalitarian world government.[3][4][5][6][7]
The common theme in conspiracy theories about a New World Order is that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian one-world government—which will replace sovereign nation-states—
More likely controlled opposition. Destroy the west, you destroy individualism and the American experiment of self-governance/freedom.

…Such as the WHO. Oh wait, I did not say that. Although govs all over the world are relinquishing their authority over to the WHO it does not mean that the WHO is conspiring to control the world.
Maybe Vlad is a CFR man after all .
“… you [Charlie Rose] had me on [before] to talk about the New World Order! I talk about it all the time. It’s one world now. The Council [CFR] can find, nurture, and begin to put people in the kinds of jobs this country needs. And that’s going to be one of the major enterprises of the Council under me.” | Leslie Gelb, CFR President on the Charlie Rose Show May 4, 1993
Vlad has done nothing to make me think he isn’t a WEF oligarch.
Putin has openly advocated for a multi-polar world order, not a NWO. The tweet is false in it’s interpretation.
Appears to be a mis-translation. The text disagrees with the title….

Zakharova said that Russia is ready to achieve the goals of the NWO through political and diplomatic means
Russia is ready to achieve the goals of the special military operation through political and diplomatic means. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

Russian Foreign Ministry: Ready to achieve the goals of special military operations through political and diplomatic channels
In an exclusive interview with TASS news agency, Galuzin said that if the West and Ukraine lay down their arms and stop attacking Russian cities, negotiations with Ukraine will be possible. Galuzin believes that at present, the resumption of negotiations depends entirely on whether “Ukraine and its Western guardians” maintain a clear understanding of the current geopolitical realities.
Finally Kunstler begins to realize this is a self-solving problem.
1. Democracy vs Communism.
2. Freedom vs Tyranny …. The Good vs The Evil.
3. Putin is “evil”, “despicable”, a “war monger”, “an out of control dictator”, and many many other terrible things.
4.If we don’t stop him in Ukraine, he will soon march to Berlin.
5. If we don’t stop him in Ukraine, China will soon take Taiwan.
6. “Rules based order”, muthafucker!!
It doesn’t matter that all these reasons are bullshit. Why? Because it is what they believe!!! Every one of the above reasons have been editorialized in the NJ Shit Ledger and the NY (com)Post over the past few days. In other words …
7. AMERICA HATES RUSSIA ….. AND SO SHOULD YOU!!
==============
Here are two other things you must know;
—1) Russia has NO legitimate security concerns, EVER.
—2) Russia always lies, about everything.
==============
So, figure it out …. how will this all end up? Either in peace … on Russia’s terms!! Or, all out war … possibly nuclear. There are no other options.
Fucking A, excuse the “French”, can anyone say the world had not had enough trouble?
For those that believe in politics, Trump 2024.
