Guest Post by Karl Denninger
The alleged “leaker” of classified US defense information, which I remind you not only provided details about the Ukraine situation but also stated that we had actual uniformed troops in the nation, has been arrested.
There were plenty of folks who claimed over the last few days that these documents were not genuine; that is, they were a hoax — or propaganda, if you prefer, put forward by Russia to make it look like we had troops in Ukraine when in fact we did not.
By arresting the “leaker” we have admitted the documents are factual.
This is a problem; it is quite-arguable we have actually entered the Russia-Ukraine war.
For real.
You need to think long and hard about that, because from this point forward it is your decision whether you permit this administration — and by extension the military that is under civilian control of the Executive — to do this.
Unlike many nations the military in the United States is under civilian control and said control resides solely in the Executive, with the President as Commander in Chief.
All the denials, all the arm-waving, that’s all over now.
This is now our war, and we, the people are the ones who decide.
Whatever you think about Putin or Russia generally, or for that matter Ukraine, we are now in that war, the opponent has nuclear weapons, and we, right here in America, are now subject to whatever Russia decides to do with regards to a combating nation in said war, including to us as the civilian population.
Do not kid yourself as to what this means.
Choosing to do nothing is consent; every penny you spend, every tax dollar you generate, every bond sale you allow to have a “full faith and credit” behind is an act of support of said war; no war is ever prosecuted without both men and money and this is no longer an abstract discussion.
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. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive.

The {{{US FEDGOV}}} has been at war, in the Ukraine since 2014…
But, the (((FEDGOV))) has been at war with the US Citizens since 1913…
Gird your loins, y’all, it’s going to get Biblical before its gets better!!!
Amen brother.
It’s the assymetrical part of this conflict that worries Auntie. Plus most nations now hate the USSA empire after 60 years of unchecked rapacious foreign military adventures.
No choice in this matter other than to prepare for the unexpected. It is coming.
Gulf Of Tonkin in 3 …… 2 ….. 1…..
Gates of Babylon in…0.
Sodom and Gomorrah in 3…2..1.
Pestilence in 0.1..2…3
Noko Oyes would agree with you even if you had said another number.
I saw we switch sides and send all the weapons and ammunition TO Russia. Then we go “Joke’s on you!”
Send all the world’sweapons and
ammo to me.
I’ll live on top of the great mountain
of the world’s implements of death,
and any leader who feels they have a reasonable need, must climb the Mountain of Armaments,
and plead his case, beneath the stars,
on top of that great pile of death’s
convenience.
And if his case is found wanting, one weapon is used on him.
When American imperial power collapses, there will be chaos over here. When those people who control America have their backs up against a wall, and their power is in danger, they will turn on the American citizen in a way only a Solzhenitsyn could understand. You will soon find out which of the people you thought you knew as friends are total frauds, animals, a true definition of enemies of the people.
Everyone will have to choose a side.
It is as you say; it always end the same way. Matthew 10:34 in action.
This whole shebang will blow apart like a Soviet RBMK nuclear reactor some day. We know our Government has no respect for free speech, and they are working on criminalizing it in that “Tik-Tok” bill they have in Congress right now. And, they are both stupid and arrogant enough to think they can outlaw firearms. It will start this time just like it did the first time- the government coming to take peoples’ guns.
on the mark in every aspect.
Perfect orchestration of leaks//events to bring yet another bankster war. Catch 22.
Save your old tires for making shoes in the future, we could be reduced to the most unimaginable level.
Rice-paddy racers.
Does that work with any modern tires?
Seems like steel belted ones might be a bit iffy to me.
Yeah? And don’t YOU kid yourself that this Administration is going to listen to the electorate.
I KNOW!!!
Let’s all write a strongly worded letter!
Nah, too difficult…
Just vote harder!!!
Sarc off…

No war started without first obtaining my express wet ink signature is “my” war.

Off topic:
Red River D; if you are out there and OK give us a holler, please.
AA,
Red River D is alive and well. He now posts on Twitter, and kicks everyone’s ass in the most marvelous way. I don’t follow him much as I don’t have an account there and am limited to what I can see.
But, if you want to find him…he posts under the same name – Red River D – with a picture of a light colored cowboy hat. He is awesome.
Abby- I thought of you when having cocktails and dinner outside at a bistro at 4:00 today. A smile passed my lips as I drank my frozen bellini and watched the clouds pass over. Life is good AA.
Ah…that is so nice! Sounds so lovely…EARLY dinner outside in the beautiful weather with a cocktail in hand. Can’t get much better than that!
I went on an epic bike ride this morning, with gorgeous weather, beautiful scenery, and soaking in the sun. It felt wonderful.
You’re right; life is good – thanks for the reminder!
Thanks, Abi.
ha ha ha…an E-3 weekend warrior has access to top security documents. Good one, Uncle Schlomo. You the best hoaxer of all time.
Next Uncle Schlomo is going to tell us an alien invasion is imminent. …wait…wut?

Alien motherships: Pentagon official floats a theory for unexplained sightings
One astronomy professor called the notions “highly questionable” and “odd.”

Flash, they have proof. They found his passport attached to the documents that were leaked.
Every fourth turning has its climactic act, almost always a war. This is our 4th time around, 16th turning of our people. Every one before was bigger and ramped up from the one before. WW3? Yeah that sounds about right.
For years, it’s the same. This is it. The USD as reserve /US hegemony/The Fed/etc/etc have overplayed their hand. Assume crash positions. And then…
Both parties use all four banners.
You have to admit it: the Republicans are funnier.
Collect necessary food, medicine, cash for unavoidable bills, everything you need to STAY OFF WORK for three to six months. Notify your employer of your need for a leave of absence. July 4th lay down your tools, no work, no pay, spend no money with government regulated entities, goof off, have fun, and STARVE the BEAST. Most of us will have to find employment subsequently, though the protected classes, government and the ‘laptop professionals’ will probably just slide back into their jobs.
Think of the joy of fifty, maybe seventy five million people telling leviathan ‘no, none from me’. Think of the disruption as people who know how to do actual productive things just decline, for a summer, to do them with the tax man involved. Work will not be hard to find when you go back, probably much higher pay too.
Calling on the smart people, how do we organize this without getting thrown into the gulag? If a few individuals do it only they get hurt, if tens of millions coordinate we can shut government’s, corporate’s and the financial elite’s asses down and maybe, maybe slap some sense into them.
07-04-2024. TOOLS DOWN!
Not to mock you, but;
LOL
If 50-75 people do, I would be shocked.
It is a sound plan, if 99% of people were not so self involved that the first thing out of their mouth after hearing the idea will be “I can’t, because it would be inconvenient to me”.
Unfortunately, the violent psychopaths in charge are not (well VERY unlikely) going to be stopped with anything short of the level of force they are willing to use. IMO There will be no bloodless revolution.
Not mocking also, but plan this protest for Juneteenth, or Monday June the 19th. But make it day every real man goes especially to work whistling Dixie after kissing the wife and patting the children on the head, read Gone With The Wind during lunch, and then going home for a nice supper before relaxing to watch Birth of A Nation.
Walter, I’d strongly encourage you to search your hard drive for ‘installed’ kiddie pron, or better yet, destroy your devices and expect a knock ( or not ) shortly!
Good luck.
Peace, L.
I’ve been against this shit for a long time. Every penny I spend does not imply consent.
Choice? Control of the media that is human perception, in key of D(eed)(addy may I?).
Personal experiences, far & wide. Impersonal observation of others personal experiences, far & wide. How far & wide must an experiential researcher travel before being able to back up saying s/he’s been to-immersed in-thru “everywhere.” That depends on the e.r.
I have no doubt that were it possible for some people to have been literally everywhere they still wouldn’t qualify as having been anywhere. In those cases, not rare, e.r. initials “errant replicant.”
Now you know where “to err is human ~ well, replicant ~ to forgive & forget what your amputated memory can only phantomly limn” comes from – it’s a Monsanto gmo & glyphosate-loving goofyrootball livin la vida loca in a soiless but very-very soiled septic-aquaponic tank.
((See it: the Matrix battery farm (those spines ain’t exactly spatchcoked, but they’s petcocked, & it adds up, which is to say subtracts, the same.))
People in the main (& especially prominently when they are congregation-effected) are Lion’s Mane follicles-followers. Just prides o’ bouffant hairpieces puffed up behind roaring feline-canines.
((See it: hairballs with teeth.))
Lion’s Mane’s a mushroom, too. Dunno how e.r. fungi are. Some argue they are a renaissance life form. But the angle that tickles my fancy is the one that pitches eating Lions Manes will make you smarter. Ha.
((Rich eat the poor. And the less rich. And each other. Looking “up” the porleau riche wanna eat the rich. Whole lotta people are eating the wrong kinda shrooms, apparently. Cue the scene, original or remake, in The Beguiled. That’s a word, alright.))
On the goo-oo-d ship lolly-pequod it’s all crazy & no nuts all-ll the time:
Nair takes the hair off & ne’er-do-well narration just glues it right back on. It’s like Escher’s Hands, ne’er-nairing & gluing, round&round, forever.
These are cats of nine tales. And when they run thru those nine, they always stitch-in-time nine more. Talking∞headsfookersflegellators whip-peeling the skin off every back they can tie to a pequod mast.
So … words. Revered. Scarified into backsides, even.
The British are coming, after all. And Pauls are well-known for Trojan Horsing.
There was juPaul & yahweh’s kid sacrifice, for example. Kid leather makes nice coin wallets. And these boots Nancy Sinatra walked all over you are real soft ‘round her fetishized feet.
And peterPaul San Francisco Mabel almond Joy’s mounds. So much subsidized sweet & romance & hormonal compulsion that sometimes you feel like a nut.
Then you gobble another Mr. Goodbar down – if he don’t cut you down first (Judith Rossner novel-based-on-actual-events) to come down, or get back-get back-get back up to where you (believe) you once belonged.
And that sugareee! rushigh puts you write again. For a few more Wordsworth, at least.
((Speaking of whom see John “Walking” Stewart for comp/contrast of a certain individual passing thru a lot of places & the pomp/circumstance of a poet laureate parsing thru a lot of words. And if you feel like a nut throw Jon “Woke’ing” Stewart into the vitamix, too.))

Music, of the spheres-squares-pentagonals & every other geometry, is the only language – despite what various & sundry Pentecostal-striped nine-taled cats pitch & woo & bury all around the sandbox. It’s the sounds, slight or solid walls, not the lyrics they’re dressed in.
“Lyrics don’t make the man” … but how many subscribe to a different muzak rental service whilst vertical shaft-riding?
Elevator moo!sic that elevates like high-functioning Ass-burgers Temple Grandin’s spiral chutes (I’m hearing spirochetes … & meet the Agnew – same as the Agold … no soup, or gold, for you!) & delivers the moo!vementous mass to exsanguination, evisceration & vivisection plays on a Velcro loop in many a borg-corporate mind.
And that’s the Möbius Dick that exposes every Essex’s excesses … then smashes each & every one to kindling, & presses the elevator’s subbasement button by cutting the suspension of disbelief cable.

Hey Joe! Whaddya hear whaddya know?
You’d think there was nuthin but market for hearing aids, but no. Fauci et al types got the aids “market” concentrated & “well” fed.
I ain’t dead. And the walkin dead ain’t alive, or dead. See the error whatsherface made in that clipclop (sound Schroedingers Trojan horse makes, part of the time) above? “Social” media radio silence is Proof of Life-lessness? That & Russell Crowe before he ballooned into John Goodman was all it took (simplifying the semper fi-lessness) for Meg Ryan to feel the c/heat & Dennis Quaid to lose the meet he’d already won. And that’s just a variation on it ain’t over until the plastic-augmented fat-lipped lady sings, ain’t it? And, too, “are you not entertained?” by bread & circuses in the coliseum??
A little less con/versation a little more action, please. Words are the cart. Music is the horse. Elvis, who let that Col Founding Daddy saddle & ride him, has left the building, but that horse is immortal.
Mabel Joy’s giving me goose bumps.
Where ya been? And don’t tell me you forgot.
OH. MY. GAWD.
You are ALIVE!!! You are in SO, SO, SO much trouble, mister! I can’t even….SMH! I was thisclose to writing your eulogy. That would have been wyrd to read, huh? Next time, why don’t you put an “Out of office” notification out there when you feel like taking a hiatus, why don’t ya? You know, common courtesy? Or, were you raised in a barn?
And, NOW?? Of all times, to come back?? I am getting ready for a huge trip (will explain later), which means that I have to back off some cuz I have a hundred million thousand things to do to get ready to go. Plus, I won’t have internet access for big chunks of time when I leave. Anyway, this is an example of common courtesy so people don’t worry their little heads off about me and think I have DIED! See how that works??
(So glad you are still alive. Truly.)
Sorry, but I have little doubt you are a woman now.
The number of times I heard my mom say that…..
🙂
In a barn? No. Not per se. But Nez Perce gets a little warmer. ((No piercings, nose or other. I shall fight some more forever. My south-six is gonna do it again.))
Never sounded it out this way before (but that’s what functional exercise is for) but wee bairn me *was* raised by a real barn-burner.
Which means & is to say he was an arsonist-demolitionist first, a pilot second.
Me ma, the co-pilot, not Betty Davis, donned the polished box that was sawed into twos & threes between barns.
No seat belts, bumpy ride. Phenomenal grip strength developed.
And I knew what barnpalm in the morning smelled like (& it wasn’t victory) long before I heard of Conrad, or heard Wagner coming in low over the surf break.
A Valkyries Ride.
And now, like Val Kilmer, I’m in CO. Preferably for the now & not his Holiday result, tho. This place is a barn. And it’s full of arsonist-demolitionists. Burn’en, Barn’um, & Bailey.
Wanna fly. Plane building continues.
In a hangar. Not a barn.
I posted “vacation” explication a couple back. In the “phrases you only see” thread. Computer, darpanet issues.
Going semi-Amish may seem Vanishing Point to those who, staying put in Denver, can’t see the Challenger flying west anymore, but ol’Luke was right. Sometimes nuthin’ can be a real cool hand. And VP’s director is sure ol Kowalski made it. I think so, too. The great Kowalski escape. Someday the plug will be pulled I intend. But seems like so do others. Start practicing, maybe?
So I’ll take my spanking now, please, m’am. And I’ll thank you & maybe ask for another, too. All I ask is just don’t overcook my six//degrees of Kevin//bacon. Bare hands. Not cat9tails. Just ‘til pink, please.
Lots of son burns when I was a lad & I’d prefer not to get ass cancer now.
That’d get in the way of driving the Challenger right, of flying the plane right.
Meatloaf-ass can sing like/about a Bat Out of Hell, but see him in F/l/ight Club … that ain’t a Denzel in Flight.
(Tho, yes, inverting the plane might help a bit with ass cancer. But also sounds like something an oncologist would prescribe.)
Lol. Careful about being so willing. I can spank pretty hard.
You’re in CO?? Oh my, my. I don’t know a single sane person currently there.
Bound to be more, but there’s only one I’m certain of.
Almost done with Newman’s Cronyism. Memory refresh re the california bone that grew ~ well, was surgically appended ~ right out of the Texas pelvis.
No shortage of the same crazy. Cue Paul Simon.
There were documents in that stash that were CIA internal docs. CIA internal docs do not circulate its internal docs to military bases.
21 yr old part time weekend warriors are not privy to Top Secret documents. This is a set up. The only way this kid could have gotten his hands on these docs, is if someone way higher up arranged it. Someone in the Administration wanted this info released, and then they needed a patsy to blame for it.
Yeah, I think that is pretty much the consensus in the reality based community, as I have been pointing out also since who it was broke, that there is no way this kid had access to this kind of intel / comms level. Pretty much a no brainer. Smells like op though and through, maybe even the kid is a cut out. and may even get pulled or was pulled (as in recruited) for bigger things. He is definitely the type the look for. That particular MOS takes one of the highest IQ scores (if not the highest) to even get in.
We’ll see how his case / persecution proceeds as it may give us some more insight.
You can be sure it was leaked on purpose and the purpose has nothing to do with the war. They do not care one iota if everyone knows we have been in the war from the beginning as anyone not a shill for the government (0r a moron) has known this from the beginning. Who is going to do anything about it- no one will pay a price.
Oh it is related to the war alright. The current administration has been lying its ass off to the US public about Ukraine winning the war and doing great damage to Russia. Russia is, in reality very close to winning this war as Ukraine is collapsing, and the administration needs some way to explain how this could possibly happen when they have been telling the public just the opposite.
The so called spring offensive will be a gigantic failure, and will mark the ending of the war. The Ukraine troops will be slaughtered and neither the US or NATO is in any position to build another army.
This will be a humiliating defeat for the US and Europe and they need a way to deflect blame. It appears they are making a lame attempt to blame the failure of the offensive on this document leak, and the failure of the war on the failed offensive. I suppose they reason that if the people are stupid enough to buy the whole COVID narrative they can sell them any stupid story…….
