“It’s Not Left Vs Right Anymore, it’s Anti-Establishment Versus Pro-Establishment.” — Glenn Greenwald
Karma is God’s hickory switch, and almost always applied with a cosmic chortle. Things come around when a certain excess cargo of cognitive dissonance breaks the brains of those just struggling to carry on. The country has had enough — enough walking-talking hypocrisies, enough trips laid on it, enough Tik-tok lectures from the nose-rings-for-lunch-bunch. We’re at the end of something and the beginning of something new. As in: an ass-beating is coming down.
Cue one Oliver Anthony, southern country boy with a flaming red beard and a new anthem for millions sore-beset by the relentless effronteries of the ruling elites. Rolling Stone Magazine, a ruling elites house organ, played the phenomenon this way:
These things listed above are…what? Things that Rolling Stone is in favor of? Pet causes? High taxes and obese people on welfare? And Mr. Anthony’s song is dissing them? You mean Right-Wing influencers shouldn’t mention Jeffrey Epstein’s name? Is it just plain rude… or does it stir up unappetizing questions that are better off not being asked (in polite company)? Kind of shows you where the battle lines are drawn now, doesn’t it?
Perhaps the final insult galvanizing all this sentiment in a song was Merrick Garland’s devious Friday afternoon announcement — when, theoretically, no one was paying attention — that he appointed US Attorney David Weiss as Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden matter. This is the same David Weiss, you understand, who oversaw the Hunter Biden investigation for the past five years before ascertaining anything that might be chargeable from a vast inventory of financial crimes with an overlay of documented sex and drug transgressions. The same David Weiss who let the statute of limitations run out on many of those crimes while he dawdled and frittered in Wilmington. The same David Weiss who cooked up a wrist-slap plea agreement on all this, with a hidden Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free clause inserted slyly in the fine print of the so-called “diversion agreement” that would have immunized Hunter B against any further inquiries — which Judge Maryellen Noreika discovered only by chance at the last moment, scotching the deal. (And yet, the government now claims that the diversion agreement — and Hunter B’s immunity from further charges — “stands alone,” is “in effect” and “still binding.” Hmmmm….)
This sort of in-your-face audacity sums up Mr. Garland’s reckless, lawless run as a rogue attorney general. But then who do you appeal to for relief? Anybody wondering why there is actually no justice in America these days need seek no further. By the way, the appointment of Mr. Weiss was patently illegal. The Special Counsel statute states plainly that the post can only be occupied by someone not in the employ of the government. Does Mr. Garland not know how this works?
What the AG also flung in America’s face was the “ongoing investigation” dodge that supposedly would allow the DOJ to avoid answering any congressional inquiries into Hunter Biden’s tangled financial crimes, which, after all, were committed in the service of the Biden family global racketeering operation. Has a cover-up ever been more blatant? And so now the time has come to impeach Merrick Garland for breaking the special counsel law and obstruction of justice. It’s pretty cut and dried, and it should be the first order of business when Congress returns from its August recess making the rounds of the county fairs. The second order of business should be the impeachment of “Joe Biden,” if he hasn’t resigned before Labor Day.

On a different but hugely consequential note, and related to the long-running outlandish mendacity of the US government, an attorney for the Federal Drug Administration told a federal appeals court in Louisiana hearing a lawsuit last week that the agency actually had no policy against the use of ivermectin for Covid-19.
FDA was not regulating the off-label use of drugs These statements are not regulations they have no legal consequences they don’t prohibit doctors from prescribing Ivermectin to treat COVID or for any other purpose. Quite to the contrary there are three instances I’d like to point the court to in the record that show that FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID.”
How true is that? The FDA coerced Blue Cross and other insurers to warn doctors not to prescribe ivermectin for Covid-19, and likewise the Federation of State Medical Boards and National Association of Boards of Pharmacy to not fill doctor’s prescriptions for ivermectin for Covid-19 patients, despite the fact that it was among the best, most effective, and safest treatments for the disease. The FDA put out public service announcements telling Americans not to take ivermectin. The net effect was that state medical boards persecuted doctors for prescribing the drug (e.g., Maine Medical Board’s persecution of Dr, Meryl Nass). Also that hundreds of thousands of Covid-19 patients were denied early treatment, many of whom died.
We all know why the FDA pretended that ivermectin was not allowed to be used. Because it would have removed the Emergency Use Authorization that designated mRNA shots as the sole response to Covid, and it would have obviated the pharma companies’ liability shield for anything that went wrong. Of course, the whole damn thing went wrong and millions are now paying the price. Is this the beginning of the unwind of a colossal crime by those Rich Men North of Richmond against the people of this land?

“The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians.”
― George Orwell, The Lost Orwell: Being a Supplement to The Complete Works of George Orwell
Abolish the state.
Libertardians are practically communists. Both communism and libertarianism are fictions invented by Jews.
libertarians believe in the right and power of individualism… communists believe in the power of the group/collective..
Seems you are a bit confused as to the meaning of “practically”
And libertarians believe in the “power” of the atomized individualist.
Billions of atomized individuals, each of whom refuses to support the system of their would-be oppressors do, indeed, have the power, in the aggregate:
EXCERPT:
“The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude is lucidly and coherently structured around a single axiom, a single percipient insight into the nature not only of tyranny, but implicitly of the State apparatus itself. Many medieval writers had attacked tyranny, but La Boétie delves especially deeply into its nature, and into the nature of State rule itself. This fundamental insight was that every tyranny must necessarily be grounded upon general popular acceptance. In short, the bulk of the people themselves, for whatever reason, acquiesce in their own subjection. If this were not the case, no tyranny, indeed no governmental rule, could long endure. Hence, a government does not have to be popularly elected to enjoy general public support; for general public support is in the very nature of all governments that endure, including the most oppressive of tyrannies. The tyrant is but one person, and could scarcely command the obedience of another person, much less of an entire country, if most of the subjects did not grant their obedience by their own consent.”
.
It is simple arithmetic: the few cannot dominate the many, unless the many consent to their subjection. It is no deeper than that.
And .gov never works in favor of the masses:
[Hans-Hermann Hoppe] argued that no constitution could restrain the state. Once its monopoly of force was granted legitimacy, constitutional limits became mere fictions it could disregard; nobody could have the legal standing to enforce those limits. The state itself would decide, by force, what the constitution “meant,” steadily ruling in its own favor and increasing its own power.

But what you replace the state with?
“No matter how disastrously some policy has turned out, anyone who criticizes it can expect to hear: ‘But what would you replace it with? ‘ When you put out a fire, what do you replace it with?” — Thomas Sowell
.
Yes, we can (and we should).
LOL – ‘not doing something’ only gets you so far…
Going something clearly gets you nowhere.
Nothing you’ve done has prevented what we have. But keep voting, stupid. Express your free will.
Muaaahahahahaaaaa!
Non-voting individualists will surely fix things!!
…then you have to put it in her butt. That’s where the Patriots come in!
Phone call for Tom Brady!
Abolish THIS State.
Best picture of the crowd size that showed up for Oliver Anthony in Currituck , NC.
25 acres of cars.
Play at 4 min.
I am ashamed to be part of this sham (to live here in the US).
I also.
If you had more self esteem you’d call yourself Hitler. Ron Jeremy up your ass. That guy is a fucking douchebag.
Hell. The guy who replaced the sun roof seals in my Caddy was named Adolph. Him I can respect.
I am not ashamed to be living in this country. I am ashamed that we were all asleep and allowed this to happen. I blame the fluoride, news media, Gov’t., other world leaders, and other chemicals they put in out food and air. I still think the majority are good hard working people who just want to raise a family without a bunch of bull crap.
I’m sort of ashamed just reading this fuckin’ thread! God help us all!
The only way you would have been “awake” to see the ruination, would have been if you were spending a fair amount of time in classrooms. We expected our government entities to be teaching our kids how to be productive members of society, instead they were learning how to destroy it in the name of “equity.”
Not much optimism from JHK this morning. Just factually pointing out that the Ship of State is going down.
It’s a nuclear submarine. Like a floaty turd, it always pops up eventually…no matter how many times you flush!
Evil people run the world, and if the people are too cowardly to stand up and fight for themselves then the evil people win….
Straight to the point as usual. You ain’t wrong.
The condensed truth ” dog “.
All of us will soon be tested as never before. Worse than during the plandemic, worse than when your mother died, worse than when you were ostracized for your beliefs,worse than when your spouse cheated. In the end, we all stand alone.
Noble death is a treasure none are too poor to buy.
The Final Exam is coming. Those who remain steadfast will prevail, if not in this life , then The Next…..
Lost a lot of respect for people during the Plandemic and what has followed. Former Friends want forgiveness and to forget that they called you a fool/conspiracy theorist/denier……..They have not learned a thing. They scream about Trump/republicans/rightwing. That is not the problem, the Problem is people cannot and will not think for themselves. They need the Warmth of the Crowd and It’s Validation, something the 1% know and things to where they are today.
It is going to be a Lonely Walk…..
Speaking just for myself, i would be happy to walk with you.
All paths to the One Truth converge in the end. Many cross along the way.
Happy hunting!
They want forgiveness without repentance. Yet again, to reap the benefits of others sacrifice and goodwill without a charge against their own; to avoid taking responsibility for both their original error and its damage to others – and to retain their high self-regard, status, and station.
All of the same conditions that brought us to the precipice.
Can I just rent that bitch out for an hour or two?

America has a KIKE problem !
KIKES in dc/nyc think the goyim are going to put up with their crimes against humanity.
We will see about that …………
You can start by starving the beast as many ways as possible, don’t finance evil, financially supporting evil is just the same as being evil.
“America has a KIKE problem !”
Revelation 2:9 “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.”
Revelation 3:9 “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
I am Jewish. I am not your problem. I am in no way your problem.
Zionists are the problem. Zionists are the enemy of all. They are exclusionary supremacists who have self-selected to be evil. Rank and file Jewish folk are not your problem. They could, would, and should be your natural allies—but calling them “kikes” is not going to help you rally them to your side.
Dag,most do not consider all jews the problem,that said,a “select group” of jews are a large part of the problem along with those who knowingly work with them.
I agree completely: I despise all folks who believe they are better than other people.
I MAY be better than you. I simply lack the data to lock it down conclusively. I may be worse than you. Show me the data.
There is no objective group-specific data re: the superiority of one race versus another with the notable exception of one race’s inherent violence and criminality. Unfortunately, folks are still quite willing to believe they are the chosen people —- better than the mere mundane, or the goy.
Pull the other one, its got bells on.
Prooooot!
Now pull the other finger!
No one is MY problem, broheim. EVERYONE is MY problem. There are only exceptions to that rule. I take ’em as I find ’em.
“Rank and file” Jews are A problem…but not for me. For themselves. For He came unto you and ye received Him not. Another will come, and him ye shall receive.
THAT is MY problem.
If you don’t fit that profile? We got no beef. If you do fit that profile? Gloves off, bitch. No prisoners.
Jesus IS coming…and He’ll find you nursing a fat lip.
I pray you aren’t one of those Jews.
I am not an observant jew. I served. I saw. I was in Ramallah when the IOF blew it up— I have no faith left to lose.
Zappa died of prostate cancer and he resides in Hell today…and he was a KIKE. I find your obtuseness disturbing. you disrespect him with your stupidity.
Check his Phyzz! The nose knows!
Pretty sure he was an Italian.
100% Italian.
Regarding the pricks who disregard with impunity what is legal or not,
certain that the abuse of power goes back much, much further, but
one turning point for the worse was when the Shrub Admin consulted with
a legal scholar whose name I can’t remember about launching the Patriot Act,
he suggested the plan was illegal.
But shotgun Dicky and Fool Me Once told him there would be a pathway around the illegalities.
That slippery slope got greased and became much steeper for the lumpen.
Twas my lesson that R’s are no better than D’s.
Like TCS says, they’re both wings on the same buzzard.
Administrations through the years have customized the DOJ to get stacked with people who
selectively lean on people who they view as obstacles and enemies to thwart.
Shrub-II and Cheney torched that bonfire much larger, only to be topped by Slick.
When the Kenyan hoodwinked gullible politically correct ugly white women with Slick’s
talent for orating what skilled writers composed to sow the feel goodz,
another level higher burned the inferno.
Now, after agent Orange, RINO Ryan revealed his Judas side, and others since have all grabbed 30 million pieces of silver.
Walter and his friends aren’t even hiding the blatant abuse of power currently.
Mayorkas and Garland were promised something, for their obviously corrupt decision making,
even under the sham appearance of House sub committee badgering.
Anybody with an ounce of gray matter between their ears and paying attention is frustratingly hip to the show.
They escape the theater, to the best of their abilities, economically, mentally, and spiritually.
The emperors, and there are many, are wading in the outgoing tide naked, and the scene is fugly.
The water is frigid, much like their empathy, and old, wrinkled bodies are rather repulsive.
And so we turn away our gaze, to beat back the nausea, and try to hold onto our ridiculously expensive lunch.
When do You think voting in this country will become mandatory?
The country is done .
Let It Burn.
It’s all I can do to restrain myself from helping it along. God is wise, but He’s a little slow from my point of view.
Please forgive me my honesty, Lord. I realize You’re in a different time zone than us.
Yeah it was like a light switch about 8-9 years ago for me.
I am a recently retired RN. The Sheeple approved of the efforts to mandate business closures,masks,social distancing,and mandatory vaccines. They refused to do a little independent research. “They” included my nurse coworkers. “They” are now convinced that “died suddenly” is due to climate change,cold showers,stress,too much egg consumption,etc. Teenage athletes having strokes,or heart attacks,is also normal. Feck it. At least i kept my grandchildren unvaccinated.
The FDA is a criminal cartel and should be burned to the ground.
Ivermectin is available OTC in many countries. It is here, too, for pets and livestock. But, having it available in pill form for humans takes the guesswork out of how much paste to spread on a cracker, or how many Heartgard dog chews to take. People were ordering the pills for it, and HCQ, from overseas, where it’s OTC.
Vote For Nobody!
THAT’S WHAT THE FUCK I’VE BEEN SAYIN’ RIGHT ALONG!
The Cheese stands alone for a REASON…IT FUCKING STINKS!!!
This doesn’t end until WE end it!
MALCONTENTS OF AMERICA UNITE!!!
Oh, was Weiss “dawdling” with his case as he frittered away the time?
I thought he was doing what the FBI and DOJ do consistently these days…
Which is suppress investigations that they find inconvenient…
