“Russian meddling will eventually outstrip ‘Saw X’ as America’s most exhaustively-mined sequel series” — Matt Taibbi
Did the Blob get vaxxed and boosted? Does that explain the severe neurological damage it displays now as its hologram of lies about Ukraine and Russia Russia Russia flickers out in the blinding daylight of reality. First, there was the gigantic New York Times article published last Sunday blowing open the decade-long secret shadow war by the CIA in a sprawling network of underground bunkers on and around the Russian border.
The story was a direct feed from Blob Central in Langley, VA, to Times errand boys Adam Entous and Michael Schwirtz, longtime RussiaGate hoaxers, and obviously intended to get ahead of the real news that the neo-con project to turn Ukraine into a NATO forward base against Russia has collapsed. Read closely, the Times story appears to be an effort by current CIA chief William Burns to hang-out-to-dry his predecessors John Brennan, Mike Pompeo, and Gina Haspel for the failed eight-year-long operation. Why? Because it looks like Russia is fixing to shut down the war ASAP, before its March 15 presidential election.
As it happened, Russian diplomats and Ukraine President Zelensky took turns visiting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) in Saudi Arabia this week, sparking rumors that these were peace talks with MBS playing mediator. The situation is delicate for all concerned. Ukraine itself verges on collapse with its army decimated, its ammo used up, and its coffers empty, awaiting the $60-plus-billion aid package that is stalled in Congress, meaning no salaries for Ukraine govt employees and no pensions.
It’s delicate for the US because “Joe Biden” has declared our country won’t negotiate over Ukraine, despite the fact that there is nothing else to do now, or the end of the war will be negotiated without us. And remember, not many days ago Mr. Putin told Tucker Carlson that he was ready to talk to anybody. What this will demonstrate is that America has neither the ability to continue its proxy war nor the will or sense to engage in peace talks — all due to “Joe Biden’s” abject intransigence, and not a good look for someone pretending to run for re-election.
It’s delicate for Russia because such a humiliating loss for America could provoke “JB” and his NATO allies to some reckless and foolish act, say, sending NATO members’ ground troops directly into battle or a missile strike on Russian territory, setting off nuclear war. At the very least, the situation has already prompted the US government propaganda machine to kick-start Russia Russia Russia 3.0, the threadbare narrative that has been the accelerant of Democratic Party hallucinations about Russia interfering in US elections since 2016 — when it has actually been US spooks collaborating with a motley assortment of Ukrainian stooges, plus Marc Elias’s lawfare corps, plus the Intel Blob coercing social media to work its will. The majority of the voters don’t seem receptive to a replay of this scam but the US government is at war with those voters, so anything goes in the struggle to retain power.
While we await news out of those peace talks, a political firestorm rages around illegal immigrants from all over the world swarming across the US border. Nothing about that seems even remotely comprehensible, let alone defensible, anymore, as women fall prey to rape and murder by mutts released on-purpose into the US population, and cities groan under the financial burden of housing and supporting them. And so, it looks like the person directly responsible, Alejandro Mayorkas, might be riding his House impeachment bill into a senate trial — another bad look for the Democratic Party (of Chaos) going into the heart of election season.
Speaking of bad looks, did you happen to read the transcript of Hunter Biden’s testimony to the conjoined House Committees yesterday on the matter of the Biden family’s global bribery business? It’s available at this link, all 229 pages of the hours-long session. I read over 120 pages of the dang thing in the wee hours overnight and it’s really a fabulous soap opera of First Son Hunter Biden copping a plea over his various addiction problems (boo-hoo), and repeating endlessly, against a blizzard of incriminating documentary evidence, that his “dad” had no knowledge of his business deals with Ukrainian, Chinese, Russian, Kazakh, and Romanian parties, and did not receive any money filtered through the network of Hunter’s many fake companies (multiple Rosemont Senecas and Hudson Wests) that had no other business except routing payments into Biden family bank accounts.
The DOJ arm of the Blob has worked double-overtime, of course, to keep the mighty paws of the law from mauling poor, addiction-victim Hunter, most recently last month trotting out veteran “trusted” FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, arrested as “a liar” for having purveyed info about multi-million dollar bribes to the Biden family from the Ukrainian Burisma natgas company where Hunter was a board member (at roughly a million dollars a year), supposedly to get then Veep Dad to grease the exit ramp for Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was famously investigating the company and its oligarch owner Mykola Zlochevsky.
One conclusion you can draw from all these matters is that they are not going away. Rather, they are leading to a set of gruesome showdowns not just for the ever more pathetic looking “Joe Biden,” but for his Party of Chaos heading toward a possible extinction event in November. The big question really is, will that party blow up the United States of America in the process?

Why would we expect anything to happen? The policemen work for the crooks. We are entering the storm of this 4th Turning. The “servants of the people” are seen as corrupt grifting losers. Cocaine Mitch with the Chicom Bitch is stepping down just as we learn his sister-in-law’s death is being investigated as murder. Affirmative Action county judges are trying to make state or national rulings to throw MAGA’s off ballots all over the country and Soviet Show Trials are now common. Our President was a buffoon the best day he ever lived while now barely able to function let alone lead. A puppet figurehead surrounded by evil communist people with simply bizarre beliefs.
The ball is in the people’s court. The ball is heavy, and covered with shit.
Dude. I’ve seen State Troopers arresting county sheriff’s deputies while they were IN THE ACT of robbing a fucking JEWELRY store at Spotsylvania Mall in Fredericksburg VA!
They don’t “work” for the crooks. They ARE the fucking crooks!
Jim, I’m flabbergasted. How did your often-hyped declarations that DC criminals will pay for destroying America morph into a ‘big question’ about whether they will destroy it?
Exactly what, among the many good things America once represented, are still extant? The world’s highest standards for education, health care, jurisprudence, public infrastructure and social safety nets have been tossed into a Woke dumpster fire where the family unit sizzles.
Our traditional values, required for social cohesion, have been deliberately incinerated by ‘liberal’ cancel culture so perversion can rule the ashes. Our culture has been subsumed to enshrine a LGBTQ:DEI:CRT-programmed child’s right to choose their sex before they even know what sex is. How is it that, as a nation, we are not already fucked when children are taught dildo play and anal sex before they can add a column of numbers?
Anal sex = A 1 (one) going into a 0 (zero), which could be addition or subtraction, depending on who is adding or subtracting.
1 (+/-) 0 = x
x = position status
A+. You ‘aced’ the one-question test required to teach pre-school.
I wouldn’t teach snot nosed, ADHD, screaming little brats to save my life.
I think it’s 1 X 0 = 0.
Correction, it is 1Xo=O
I don’t think Biden wants the $60 billion aid package to pass. He’s looking for a fall guy for the imminent defeat of Ukraine. When it does collapse, he will blame the Republicans for the defeat because they wouldn’t fund the war anymore. And press will carry that message.
And Boobus will still fall for the vaunted existence of two parties opposed to each other.
No! More money for the WAR(s)!! We cannot forget the genocide (cleansing) in Israel.
We no longer manufacture but we can print dollars ’till the fat lady sings.
Someone wake up Jabba the Nuland for her last Aria. Reeeee!
Reminds me of the Battle of Jericho in Gaza
The fat lady chose her mortgage payments over her health insurance, got throat cancer. Cannot sing anymore and is in forclosure anyway.
Looking forward to December 2024 and a conglomerate of B level celebrities like Martin Sheen, BJ Honeycutt and Hot Lips Houlihan (assuming they haven’t croaked from old age) re-doing their 2016 effort to persuade rogue electors to vote for someone – anyone – other than the evil orange Hitler. Maybe this time they’ll be joined by Doogie Howser.
Sorry but anyone who equates fame with useful or important gets exactly what they deserve.
Milgram’s Millions of Minions will never resist. They always collaborate:

“I should like merely to understand how it happens that so many men, so many villages, so many cities, so many nations, sometimes suffer under a single tyrant who has no other power than the power they give him; who is able to harm them only to the extent to which they have the willingness to bear with him; who could do them absolutely no injury unless they preferred to put up with him rather than contradict him. Surely a striking situation! Yet it is so common that one must grieve the more and wonder the less at the spectacle of a million men serving in wretchedness, their necks under the yoke, not constrained by a greater multitude than they…”

“If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflection of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They need only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it.” ― George Orwell, 1984
Nope . . . never. It hurts to say, but . . . nope. If not by now, then when?
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
Never. We never do. Not enough of us, anyway. Always a derivative quadrillion short, and a gigadeath, demonic, democidal depop late.

“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.”

I’ve listened to him too. My grandfather was born and raised in Slidell La. and when I was a little kid, I listened to his vinyl collection (many 78’s) of delta and Chicago electric artists……too many to mention.
Anyway……off topic
NY Times Plays CIA Messenger
The key thing you need to understand is that this article is a deliberate piece of misinformation that is intended to shape public and policymaking opinion in the United States. The following opening to the article, like all propaganda, is a mixture of fact and fantasy…
But the article starts with the big lie by claiming that the CIA relationship with Ukraine started in February 2022 and then piles on with these two whoppers:
The Maidan and the ensuing events in February and March 2014 involved what I believe was a joint U.S./U.K. intelligence operation to remove Ukraine’s President Yanukovich and install a pro-Western government that would be used to attack Russia. The fact of the matter is that the CIA has been dealing with Ukrainian opponents of Russia since at least 1947.
Prepping the battlespace. —– ” Rural White Rage ” is the new issued narrative making the rounds.
It’s MSNBC Segments Like This on ‘White Rural Rage’ That Are Going to Hurt Dems in Election
By Nick Arama
” They [white rural voters] are the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay geodemographic group in the country. Second, they’re the most conspiracist group…Third, anti-democratic sentiments—they don’t believe in an independent press, free speech. They’re most likely to say that the president should act unilaterally without any checks from Congress, or the Courts or the bureaucracy. They’re the most strongly white nationalist, and white Christian Nationalist. And fourth, they’re most likely to excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse.”
Multiple pundits are now talking about this new book , all of a sudden.
Ah, Orwellian redefinition of democracy by the Ministry of Truth.
Ms. ‘ scary poppins ‘ is writing copy in the background.
This bitch is one of the least unhinged loons they put on MSNBC. Morning Joe & His Ho is literally a show of insane people pulling stuff out of their ass every day. I can’t even describe the lying. Bannon usually plays a clip every morning from them as they are the thought leaders of the mass of the Deceived. If you are a white guy living outside of a major city, you would not ever recognize yourself or your neighbors as they describe us.
What does come across clearly is their hatred of God and His people in Flyover locales. They portray Trump and all Republicans as ten times worse than Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Atilla the Hun et al combined.
The crimes Commiecrats must be hiding and fear becoming known must be huge.
Our rights do come from God and enshrined as such in our founding documents. “Endowed by our Creator…”
Democrat writer and political analyst Ruy Texeira had a substack column linked at Real Clear Politics today (since pulled). It is quite good (diagnosing dems’ myopia) , so I’m glad it won’t be noticed by democrats. Also, they’re too ideologically entrenched to take it to heart.

Schaller actually looks more jewish than Waldman.
They both look like homo muppets and they sound like bolsheviks not American patriots.
Men without chests.
“Most likely to justify violence.”?? Maybe he means someone squeezed the velvet ropes in the capitol building too hard.
Any book based on polls, and polls themselves, are shiiite!
Why would I lend credence to two butt fucking Turks only one generation out of the desert?
A gruesome showdown would be a relief. But somehow, I don’t think we will get the sweet, sweet release.
If there is one thing the Narrative is good at it is producing overly long, poorly written, and terribly acted productions that are full of tired plot devices, flogged cliches, and predictable story arcs that somehow after all of that also fail to climax.
The dissonance never resolves, and the cast just gets darker.
Instead, the tension of such heavy-handedness and fraying suspension of reality just ends up spawning yet another spinoff of The West Wing. This time with a black nonbinary president.
And the thing everyone is dying to know is how it will match up against CSI.
You might be tempted to notice, “But CSI is already on every night of the week . What’s the point?” That’s called Hate. Don’t let them divide us.
We are in an inception. A Lie within a lie within a lie. How deep can we go? The limbo we are in, under the greatest cocktail of sedation in all of human history, puts us in an awkward position.
The blob can’t make us live its alt-reality. Like Evil itself, it can only suggest, pervert; we have to believe it was our idea to live the way of the Blob.
And yet we continually find ourselves paralyzed, taking on all matters of ideas that just show up for no reason at all because we believe the pursuit of the Dream to be reality- and that we can’t kill the blob without killing that “reality” too.
Meanwhile Elon’s rocket ship to mars that we are inside, suspended in limbo, is heading straight into the sun because when Diversity meets trajectory, what really matters is how those three black girls felt about their mean White boss with the aggressive flat-top.
It seems many are content to live their entire lives, let generations unfold, inside the limbo.
Perhaps the showdown will see the sedatives wear off. Perhaps the blob will finally kill itself and wake up naked in the Ramada with Hunter and some Filipino ladybois and we can go on about our day shaking off this really strange dream.
Poignant pearls before muh idiot snout. 🙂
Don’t let your measured indignation die before vindication.

Who the hell EVER heard of being charged with “Lying ABOUT a president”????much less by your own employer?
Who pays you to gather information by LYING to people…..frankly,I fear for the mans life…….
That’s a really unflattering picture of Matt Taibbi.
Yep, the dog and pony show continues. Mitch said he was glad he was able to maintain and put forward his lofty ideals his entire Senate career. Do you get it yet. Congress sees themselves as the hero’s. They have caused all the problems we are dealing with in this country, yet Congress has no idea how they happened. We are being played. We have been for over 50 years. Only difference is now they do not even try to hide it anymore.
The Dems are desperate and will do anything, including starting a hot war with Russia to try to save their asses. Better stock up on some SPF 2000 sun block.
How about when they get their asses kicked in November and arm illegals, call out Antifa and labor unions, BLM and maybe the Blue Helmets in some evil ploy to retain power forever?
“If you can see your basement floor ………..”
I think real people rather than just those that are paid to be will get triggered. And the US population will get significantly smaller. I just hope every politician traitor at every level is part of that cleansing. Just make sure you leave enough illegals standing to dig the graves, the millenials arent strong enough for “Manuel labor”.
“Democratic Party elites such as those on CNN are not just angry but genuinely confused by the fact that American voters don’t obey them.” — Glenn Greenwald
Like i have said many times famous does not mean important. Thinking people and the sheep will follow a real leader. Only the sheep follow the pretty people.
Sanctuary city mayor of Athens, GA, at a news conference, tries to blame the nursing student murder by an illegal alien on President Trump instead of the resolution he signed welcoming illegal aliens into his town.
Things then don’t go well for him…
(Young American Foundation – YouTube)(0:48)
There’s a cancer in Athens.
It took me 2-3 years to realize what was going on, and that was just the beginning.
FU spook.
You push the lie, you’re just a p.o.s. and karma will have her way with you eventually.
It never left. It’s all about the other shoe with me.
FU again spook.
Inciting violence isn’t going to work here so f.o. and crawl back under your rock.
Look around for the nearest labeled safe space, Karen! You’re having an episode.
“it looks like Russia is fixing to shut down the war ASAP, before its March 15 presidential election.”
LOL, why would they do that?
There is still some NATO demilitarization left to do…
