Vectoring Dangerously

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

“Strategic ambiguity requires strategic capabilities. Otherwise, it’s just make-believe.”Lee Slusher on “X”

If your situational awareness is well-tuned, you can put together a political weather report from the swirl of events that otherwise seem to confound the degenerate simps who pretend to report the news. Events are tending in the direction of self-reinforcing, ramifying chaos, and the people running the show are obviously insane as they do everything possible to hurry chaos along.

Case in point: Antony Blinken, our Secretary of State, who announced yesterday that Ukraine will get rushed into NATO ASAP. Do you understand that would mean a direct, automatic, peremptory declaration of war against Russia, requiring all of NATO — that is, their combined militaries — to go kinetic inside Ukraine and theoretically inside Russia, too, (a move that has not worked out well for anyone in all of history), because Article Five of the NATO charter states that an armed attack against one is an attack against all, and must be answered with counter-attack? Thus, you see, Mr. Blinken just announced World War Three.

You might also consider that NATO does not have the capacity to fight that war. The European members don’t have sufficient troops and equipment, or financial reserves for that matter. And there is, of course, America’s under-recruited DEI army of transsexuals and video-gamers, with equipment that has already proven inadequate on-the-ground in Ukraine, and a logistical route for delivery of all that which runs 5,000 miles across an ocean and then another continent. . . whereas our opponent (Russia) is right next door to the battlefield and churning out munitions like there is no tomorrow (which there might well not be for all concerned). Even Adolf Hitler, the last fool to attempt a conquest of Russia, wouldn’t like those odds.

And why would Russia desist from firing hypersonic missiles at Berlin, Paris, London, New York and. . . ? You get the idea. In which case the USA, backstopping NATO, would lob swarms of our nuclear missiles into Russia. . . and the whole shootin’ match ends up twenty minutes later a smoldering, civilization-ending mess. Smooth move, Tony Blinken. In political weather terms, this is like an arctic shear cutting across the northern hemisphere.

At the same time, you might notice a financial la Nina forming out over the salty sea. Gold chugged up above $2,300-an-ounce the past ten days, a record. That’s a coded message from Reality Central. My de-coder ring says it means the bond market is about to fall on its ass, taking the dollar down with it, which would swiftly domino into the way-overpriced equity markets, and Gawd knows what kind of maelstrom all the derivatives flotsam would get sucked into. Notice, too that Bitcoin goes up $3,000 one day and down $2,000 the next. Kind of sketchy. But that’s just my take. If you have one, I’d like to hear it. In any case, it looks like stormy financial weather which, if nothing else, is not exactly an advantageous accompaniment to a world war. In fact, it could beat a path quickly to something like empty supermarket shelves — and you know what they say about a population being a few missed meals away from anarchy.

Then there’s the immense cluster of twisters moving ominously across the planet in the form of the Covid vaccination dysregulated immunity fiasco I wrote about in last Friday’s blog (This Is Not an April Fool’s Gag), as predicted by virologist Dr. Vanden Bossche. Translation: a lot of people getting sick and dying because their mRNA shots and boosters have so screwed-up their immune systems that they are sitting ducks for an emergent variant of Covid gestating in the vaxxed population. By the way, there is apparently a gross breakdown in medical services world-wide now, especially a shortage of doctors and nurses. Now you’re starting to see some serious stormy weather: a war, a financial train wreck, and a global public health disaster all at once.

While all that is churning things up, the next round of Trump trials are set to kick off in Alvin Bragg’s New York and Fani Willis’s Fulton County (Atlanta), GA. Both cases have publicly wrecked themselves. In the New York case, you have the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, Loren Merchan, 37, a Democratic Party consultant who has multi-million-dollar contracts with Rep. Adam Schiff, the nation’s leading RussiaGate hoaxer, and working partner of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, a chief witness in the matter of a hush-money payment made to porn-star Stormy Daniels (hush money, you might note, not being illegal). Any political motivation to see in that cast of characters? And that is apart from the sheer bullshit nature of the case, as packaged for Mr. Bragg by US Attorney Matthew Colangelo, who was swapped out of the Main DOJ HQ in Blobville to the office of Soros-connected DA Bragg in Manhattan specifically to engineer a political prosecution.

The Fani Willis case down south, another political prosecution by a loudmouth “Get Trump” DA, now goes forward with a compromised government attorney who has demonstrably committed enough offenses against the law to merit disbarment. Her lover and, until recently, “special prosecutor,” Nathan Wade, on top of probably perjuring himself about his financial entanglements with DA Willis, was just cited for contempt in his own divorce case (failure to pay child support). Note, too, that the idiotic substance of the case — a racketeering charge for conspiring to voice opinions about the veracity of the 2020 election — was likewise constructed by Lawfare ninjas in Washington DC (my guess, by Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, and Norm Eisen), and mentored to Willis & Wade in a series of meetings held in the White House office of Veep Kamala Harris (with Lawfare ninjas improperly not logged-in — also my guess).

If the blob’s desired outcome, a conviction, comes to pass, and Mr. Trump is hauled off to Riker’s Island, say, to mingle with X-hundred homicidal mutts, and, say, for some reason he does not come out of there alive. . . well, say hello to an extra-especially bad set-up for civil disorder in the home of the brave — while we do World War Three, financial pandemonium, and Vaccine death. It’s a lot to take in, I know. But it’s all really right out there, and it’s all vectoring right at us. Just so you know.

Greg Hunter’s weekly news wrap-up goes right to Ukraine being taken under the NATO umbrella. This will not go well, as Putin will not take this lightly.

NATO Invites War, Israel/Iran War, Dem Panic

If you would like to take a deep dive into just what is NATO all about, is this presentation by the Alphawarrior set of interviews with the Colonels Corner, Colonel Roxane Towner-Watkins. I am half way through Part 6 and look to view the other 2 episodes this weekend. I would suggest starting with the first episode, as it will provide the background and terminology that will be come out in the succeeding episodes.

Karl Denninger on the jobs report….

Of particular note and which should be good for immediate alarm in the asset markets which are all expecting lower interest rates was an 0.7% monthly change in employment compensation. That annualizes to 8.7% so if you think rates are coming down with employment wage costs going up by nearly 9% on an annualized basis I will strongly suggest you go see someone about your particular delusionary tendencies.

As Kashkari said yesterday “if inflation continues to stall” there will be no cuts at all and this is yet another indication, along with both the PPI and ISM prices paid, that it not only is “stalling” it is reaccelerating.

It’s a real steaming pile isn’t it? Ammunition price hikes are coming May 1st. Without Divine intervention you’re going to need more. Prices I watch are up 60% under current “leadership” and this is going to get us to an 85- 100% increase in three and a half years.
Every demon is on the loose. Almost every so-called leader is a fraud. These are surely the times that try men’s souls.

How many rounds of ammo is enough? 1,000 rounds? 10,000 rounds?

You’ll be lucky to survive your first 500 in a gun battle.

It depends on how sporty an environment you are called on to defend I suppose. The most I have heard of from a lone infantryman in one firefight is 3,200. The guy was a sergeant in Vietnam. He was a short distance outside the wire to get away from his squad which had pissed him off big time. He was drinking beer and had a duffle bag full of empty magazines and several crates of M193 and was loading the magazines. A huge NVA force suddenly descended on the firebase and a huge battle ensued. The next morning the sergeant was found alive in his hole outside the wire with dozens of dead NVA around it and the flash suppressor melted off of his M-16.

Rise up, Maybe 500 for your first firefight. Most of the tens of thousands of rounds that I hope you have is to barter, sell or give away to your soon-to-be-awakened, unprepared aquaintances and family. Or haven’t you heard, ammo soon to become money? Asking how much ammo is enough is like asking how much money is enough.

One doesn’t need Ezekiel’s situational awareness to see four horsemen have been vectoring at us for millennia. They’ve been slow-walking through history and are now ready to gallop straight up our ass.

Fire: Lahaina was a ‘warm up’. Next, just here in the USA, fires in the Rockies, Cascades and Appalachians will be visible with the naked eye from Alpha Centauri. Directed energy weapons will provide plenty of smokey air to breath. Old mining tunnels are the next real estate bubble.

Famine: An occasional fast will help tune you up for what’s not riding in with the Apocalypse, regular meals. Buy a peavy while you can so you can turn over burnt logs looking for grubs.

Pestilence: Gates is vectoring billions of mosquitos into ecosystems everywhere, geared to deliver Malaria, Dengue and who knows what else. You’ll scratch yourself to death without a body suit of Benadryl and Hydrocortisone.

Plague: Please allow me to introduce myself,
spike proteins worming into you with mRNA.
The devil is working so very hard
He needs our sympathy today.

In the meeting with our church board, one of the members from the tiny town of Cordova Alaska, population 2,400, says she knows 9 people who are more or less on their deathbeds. It looks like Dr. Vanden Bossche’s is right on. I know they are all vaxxed as is our board member as her and her husband are continuously sick. Last time I met them, the husband joked that their probably the biggest covid spreaders in the state, and they should probably quit telling all of their covid stories. I’m this guy has an inkling, but his wife does not. They are really wonderful people. But I don’t know if they will be with us much longer. Karma is a real bitch when you are living in delusion.
