Draw back from the scene and understand that the sheer heaping-up of procedural legal bullshit in the various sham court cases against candidate Donald Trump is largely an attempt to confound, mystify, and preoccupy the public while the great scaffold of our national life collapses. The news — both legacy and alt — will be dominated day after day by analyses of every move and counter-move through endless thickets of courtroom minutiae while the US economy crashes and burns, residual wealth is confiscated, and the American social order turns into something like fiery goo.
By November of 2024, somebody will be elected president, or no one will be. At this point, it is probably down to an election that more than half the country won’t believe in, or no election at all due to civil chaos so extreme it will make the 1861 weeks of secession look as tame as a middle school fire drill. Beyond the hamstringing and hog-tying of their chief adversary, the Democratic Party lawfare necromancers have set up the gameboard with surpassing precision so that their opponents will never be able to win another election. Yet, they are so self-satisfied as to apparently think no one noticed. (We’ll be coming for you, eventually, Marc Elias.)
As to the parsing out of all those bogus charges against Mr. Trump, consider that we now live in a culture of no truth, only battling portfolios of narrative spin, at least according to the Marxian wokesters who have seized the machinery of law, so, there, with a snap of your fingers goes jurisprudence — as in: I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, blah blah…. The joke is on you. There is no truth, anymore, so stop insisting that there is anything like it to determine, except whatever outcome the Party of Chaos seeks.
The suspended animation of August with its sand castles, lobster rolls, and care-free cocktail cruises will soon yield to the season of hurricanes, financial fiascos, momentous military movements, and reversals of political fortune. What, for instance, becomes of “Joe Biden,” the fictitious president, and that claque of grift-bedizened relatives around him? I’ll tell you one thing: no way is this fellow running for reelection, and the mighty pretense around that hallucination makes idiots of everyone on cable TV news. Somebody has already slipped Ol’ “Joe” the black spot. Dr. Jill has crawled into a bottle. The “Big Guy” is just sulking now, drowning his sorrows in ice cream — but his fate hangs there above the Rehoboth dunes like an ominous black sea-bird suspended on an ill wind, mocking him. You have finally screwed the pooch, Joey, it cries… caw caw caw….
We are thus close to the moment when impeachment can no longer be dodged. The reams of Biden family bank records that Mr. Comer of Kentucky has unearthed hither and yon, plus deal memoranda, video and audio recordings of dark confabs, and hundreds of tell-tale emails are of a different evidentiary nature than the roster of hypothetical thought crimes confabulated by Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, and Fani T. Willis. Personally, I would like, at least, to see impeachment hearings where all that hard evidence of Biden family bribery is methodically laid out for The New York Times and CNN to ignore. It will look like a game of chicken for a few days, but then the party honchos will “sadly” order Ol’ Joe to step aside before that grim spectacle goes too far.
The Ukraine War will then be Kamala Harris’s to lose — depend on it — though nobody will care. I have a feeling that Barack Obama will not be able to… how shall we say… work with her. All that cackling must conceal inner vacancy so vast that Judge Crater, DB Cooper, and the brigantine Mary Celeste might be roaming around in there, along with Amelia Earhart, Jimmy Hoffa, and the Lost Colony of Roanoke. And I cringe to imagine the meetings with Kamala where Susan Rice, Lisa Monaco, and Torie Nuland try to tell the poor simp what to do. It will look like one of those girlie beat-downs on an Oakland street-corner.
Anyway, by that time the stock markets will be all a’crumble, all those Vanguard retirement funds will wash-up like so many writhing grunions on Cabrillo Beach, and your local bank will cap deposits at $500 a few weeks before executing the long-rumored bail-ins. At that magic moment, the Democratic Party will have everything it has wished for.
Of course, I can’t say the melodrama will play out exactly like that, in that sequence. But expect trouble in September. Expect disorder like you’ve never imagined. Think about retrieving whatever cash you have in the bank. Consider arming yourself for safety’s sake, if you live in a part of the country that allows it. Or maybe even if you live in the other parts. Lay in some beans and rice and some batteries. Buckle your mental seat belt. When August is over, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

The Bidens are just a bunch of crooks. They are being protected by a bunch of crooks in the DOJ/FBI. Another bunch of crooks are trying to take Trump down. Crooks everywhere you look. America looks to have the most corrupt government in the world. With a corrupt media backing them up. WOW !
Exactly, why the crooks aren’t going anywhere. I’m so annoyed by conservatives that are still holding out for elections. It’s not that I’m against voting or attending rallies but what’s it going to take for people to wake up?
McCarthy and McConnell, according to a report today from DC Draino are both compromised, bribed and blackmailed by Sequoia Capital which is the main malinvestor of western money into the CCP.
Call your congress critter and demand he or she move to “Vacate the Chair.” Kevin has to go.
Bette says it best:
Auntie loves the way, in this famous scene from All About Eve, Ms Davis as Margo Channing, pounds the martini and still has her cigarette well handled the whole while. Style, ladies and germs. Style and class that shan’t be seen again.
Now we have Lizzo.
We are fucking doomed.
From hopium to doom and gloom. Something getting you down Kuntz?
You prefer hopium?
Reality man, reality staring us in the face. Sounds like he sees some type of “Guns of August” coming to a town near you.
Procedural legal bullshit in the various sham court cases against… look,
squirrelDEWs !!1!Nothing like starting my day with a cup of good coffee and a reading of Kunstler’s haranguer about our hopeless situation in the US of A. Jimmy sure has come a long way from his days of thinking Durham’s investigation was going to change everything.
Here are the Cliffs Notes version of Jim’s article: be prepared with food and ammo, know your true friends, keep your money close (not in the bank), because we are fucked.
“Trapped” you might say. But not beaten.
Joe knows the score. They use you for as long as they need to, and then you get kicked to the curb. God knows Joe has done it to many others himself. Joe, meet curb. In between spoonfuls of Ben & Jerries, Joe must be reflecting on how things would have been different if he hadn’t sired a featherhead like Hunter, who was too coked up to remember to get his laptop back. Now, it’s all over. Whatever money didn’t go up Hunter’s nose will go to his attorneys, or his baby mama. The Fall of the House of Biden will be spectacular. The press and the party will be there for him for a decent interval, and then the whole Biden episode will be exiled to that numinous space where disgraced champions and failed narratives are forgotten, as if they never existed. He did some good thing, too, they will say. So did Hitler and Mao. It would all be funny, if it weren’t so tragic. See ya later, Joe, if not in this life, then the next.
I don’t think we will want to be anywhere near where he gets the afterlife. I’m hoping for up and he may well be down. Way way down.
Ninth Circle for Bai Din.
As I recall, that circle was for betrayers. Mr. Biden is no betrayer. He’s been very faithful to Chairman Xi.
I think, given the evil that Bribem and his people have done, we should support a moratorium on the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. I think the only thing that’s appropriate for Biden is for him to be torn into itsy-bitsy little pieces and buried alive. His minions and enablers should be turned over to his victims.
🙂
‘Xactly !
Considering his Vaxx mandates are probably going to kill millions He’s going to be hanging out with Mao,Hitler and Pol Pot.
I would sooner see him hang in real time for his crimes. What happens in the supernatural means nothing.
Jim K is a bit of an alarmist. Things-as-they-are have a pretty good shot at making it until October.
I don’t know. It’s a little like the line about how a guy lost his money; a little bit at a time, and then all of a sudden. You never know when it’s going to completely fall apart.
First, democracy is not a system, it is a process. Second, the process of democracy does not, and cannot work without the participants being educated, informed, and knowledgeable about the issues they are voting for or against.
Stupid people are easily manipulated, deceived, and controlled. The subversion of the democratic process in the US began with the Federal Government’s usurpation of the educational system. The subversion is now complete, with not only the people being easily manipulated and propagandized into voting how ever the moneyed interests want, but also the ability to digitally alter the results of any election. In short, voting is now simply political masturbation.
It accomplishes nothing.
At this point in history, the only way to return power to the people is for the people to become un-governable. To refuse to recognize the legitimacy of government entirely. Do not vote, or support the government in any way. Refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of all laws and regulations, and government employees.
Never talk to, or answer questions from any government employee. Learn to establish parallel systems to bypass everything controlled by the establishment. Avoid doing business with all corporations to the greatest extent you can. Support individuals and groups that are establishing parallel systems. Become as self sufficient as possible, and work daily on rejecting the corporate / government criminal cartel. By doing this you will rob the establishment of their power over you and regain your sovereignty as a human being.
Who is ready to stop paying taxes?
Who is ready to do all shopping at independent retailers, with their higher prices and smaller selection of goods?
Who is ready to withdraw from the social security/Medicare system?
Who is ready to withdraw their children from public schools or private schools who use partial government funding?
That’s just a starter list. Sadly, until many, many people are willing to sacrifice comfort, convenience, and financial security to resist The Man, nothing can change. There are other strategies too, also involving great inconvenience.
Despite having the credentials and I the skills to earn a mid six figure salary, I withdrew from the corporate sphere to homeschool my four children. My husband completely supported me in this. We are all of us responsible for bringing properly educated citizens into their adulthood and competence.. there is no duty more grave or rewarding.
Aren’t you amazing.
No. I was stupid. I was stupid for a very long time. Then I woke up and learned what was really important.
Slavery and complete dependence can be awfully inconvenient too. Anyone who thinks the trend towards things getting continually worse will stop without them being inconvenienced is a fool….
LOLOLOLOL!
Oh lawdy-lawd, you sure gots a way wit da words, Mr. Jim.

I vote for political assassination.
I hear Ashley Bidens pudenda is all hot and bothered.
pudendum
Is JHK implying that the parasite maggot marc elais should be tracked down and hung ?
No. He should be boiled in tar and then crucified upside down.
After a fair trial of course.
If you insist.
“The news — both legacy and alt — will be dominated day after day by analyses of every move and counter-move through endless thickets of courtroom minutiae while the US economy crashes and burns, residual wealth is confiscated, and the American social order turns into something like fiery goo.”
Although Kunstler probably doesn’t realize it, the above sentence reveals what the purpose of the Trump indictments is – to keep everyone distracted from other events such as the US economy. It is ALL theater, to keep the sheeple distracted, and also to keep Trump’s poll numbers up (his poll numbers and donations increase every time he is indicted). Trump is not going to jail. He will be the Republican candidate in 2024, and he will “win” the general election. TPTB want him back in office when the climate lockdowns start (probably sometime soon after his inauguration in January 2025) to ensure the success of the lockdowns. The Left will readily go along with the lockdowns, just as they did with the COVID-19 scamdemic lockdowns, just because it is their nature to believe government and the MSM. Most of them believe that manmade climate change is real, and even more absurdly believe that “green energy” (in the US only, not China and India) will solve that climate change. But the Right will be inclined to resist those climate lockdowns. Having Trump as president will neutralize the Right so they will (reluctantly) go along with the lockdowns, just as they reluctantly went along with the scamdemic lockdowns in 2020. The Right would have reacted very differently to the scamdemic tyranny if Hillary had been president at the time.
The reset is happening while everyone is distracted. The banks will fail and then like a miracle a CBDC will be offered with UBI and poof, freedom is gone.
The orange man legal drama is just more hijinx meant to a) distract the population b) normalize in the public’s mind lawfare operations against those common people who disagree with the New World Order.
The nowhere man corruption scandals serves the same purpose, except that it normalizes corruption and perversion on high, which will be standard in the NWO where the elites will be gods on earth bound to no law. Even now most common people, just trying to survive, are indifferent to it all if they even care.
If trump or any biden sees the inside of a jail cell I will be shocked.
I’ve been doinng a deep dive on the Assyrian Collapse and while it may not be identical, it sure does rhyme.
It’s impossible for me to understand how people who know how these things play out historically are so completely incapable of avoiding all the same mistakes in almost exactly the same manner.
The Old Testament is Chock-full of examples.
Daniel Is a good read relating the Assyrian Collapse. And a few others.
