Prisoners of Themselves

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

“Ok, let’s be clear. If the intelligence community led by the CIA is not the “deep state,” what is?” Jeffrey Tucker

You realize, don’t you, that the gross misconduct of government officials from RussiaGate on down to the courtroom of Judge Juan Merchan has amounted to one continuous operation against the American people? If it were ever honestly adjudicated, many hundreds of them might go to prison, or worse. Each successive seditious and treasonous action they attempt against their arch-nemesis, Mr. Trump, only compounds their criminal liability — the Steele Dossier, CIA agent Eric Ciaramella’s 2019 impeachment prank, the Covid-19 caper, the George Floyd-BLM hustle, the 2020 election hijinks, the J-6 op and the House J-6 Committee conjured up to spin it, the present battery of farcical court cases — and yet the Golden Golem of Greatness not only remains defiantly at large, but seems to amass ever more electoral mojo.

The epic failure of these mighty efforts, and the humiliation entailed, has lately driven this vast bureaucratic cabal — collectively styled as “the blob” — to a stage of abject desperation that looks a lot like insanity. They fear for their lives, their fortunes, their chattels, and their families, and they seem ready to wreck the republic to save themselves. They have so far pretty much wrecked American justice with their lawfare tactics — a degenerate campaign to use the vested authority of prosecutors and judges to twist and cheat the law at the cost of the law’s legitimacy. Merrick Garland, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weismann, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, Marc Elias, Christopher Wray, Letitia James, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg have made law the enemy of the people.

All this becomes more obvious each day, for instance events of the past week in Judge Aileen Cannon’s federal courtroom in Florida where the Mar-a-Lago documents case proceeds. Turns out that Special Counsel Jack Smith has deliberately messed with the evidence, which is patently felonious. Also, turns out that sometime between the “Joe Biden” inauguration and the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August, 2022, boxes of presidential documents stored by the US General Services Administration were “delivered” to Mr. Trump’s mansion without any proper accounting for what might have been in them. A set-up you suppose? Why not? After everything else the FBI and the DOJ have attempted since 2015?

Christopher Wray in particular might have wanted some surefire probable cause to get his agents into Mar-a-Lago where, rumor has it, Mr. Trump kept his own dossier of evidence against the FBI and DOJ officials who concocted the “Crossfire Hurricane” chapter of RussiaGate. Even if you assume that Mr. Trump had multiple copies of the thing, FBI Director Wray — in position since 2017 throughout most of RussiaGate — surely wanted to see what Mr. Trump was holding if it would become necessary for current and former FBI / DOJ officials to defend themselves in court against very serious charges.

You see the desperation, don’t you? And how stupendously amateurish these machinations have been? Planting evidence and then fiddling around with it? I’m waiting for the moment when Judge Cannon summons Jack Smith and announces to his face that she is tossing the case for prosecutorial misconduct. Will she add a criminal referral to that? How will that affect the other case (attempting to overturn the 2020 election) brought against Mr. Trump in Judge Tanya Chutkan’s DC federal district court? Who will prosecute it if Jack Smith can no longer function as Special Counsel? And since the case was contrived in his name — even if Eisen, McCord, Weissmann, and others are really the authors — does that case blow up, too?

Letitia James’s real estate case under Judge Arthur Engoron was so idiotic it can’t possibly survive an ultimate appeal, and the Alvin Bragg confection under Judge Merchan is playing out like something that usually only happens in places like Honduras or Liberia. Yet the American Left, the “progressive” Democratic Party, is staking everything on it. It’s all they have left Lawfare-wise, at least for now. Which brings us to the question: Why do the non-governmental elites of this land, the managerial and thinking classes, the college presidents, the cable news producers, the corporate execs, the movie directors, the whole arts establishment. . . why do they feel compelled, for nearly a decade now, to hitch their identity and their self-respect to this fantastic train of Kafka-esque corruption, tyranny, and abuse? How did they get owned by the blob?

We may never find out, and they may never know either, even after they snap out of the mass formation they’ve been in thrall to. But they have made themselves ridiculous — figures like Sam Harris, Steven Colbert, and Rob Reiner — yelling about “saving our democracy” while the blob they worship systematically disassembles the US Constitution, and makes American law a global laughingstock.

Most of my old ex-friends are riding the same ideological bus. You have to wonder: how did the likes of “Joe Biden,” Merrick Garland, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Christopher Wray, Fani Willis, Anthony Fauci, Klaus Schwab, and Bill Gates become their heroes? Did the Covid vaccines destroy their minds? Are they really avid for central bank digital money and surveillance of their every move? Do they want to be told how to live by the WHO? Things are going south fast now in our country. If these people ever cherished the idea of being free to think their own thoughts and live their own lives, it’s getting late in the game. They will end up prisoners of themselves.

Thats damn near my gospel on the subject bruh , only I’d add that not only has the fiat currency orgy allowed them to get away with it this long , it also kind of created the likes of them in a way ( this is practically all they’ve ever known so in a way they consider it normal ). Maybe we’re both saying the same thing there , just differently

EVIL is LIVE backwards because in order to LIVE you need LOVE; these Satanists are devoid of that trait.

Also, no, they are not stupid, they are highly intelligent. The stupid people are everyone else who have allowed these assholes to get away with it through their ‘willful ignorance’. For years I have been trying to figure out why most people don’t seem to ‘get it’. It wasn’t till recently I discovered most people don’t care and DUMB PEOPLE ARE BAD PEOPLE.

I hate to say it, but I do respect the work ethic of the dark occult forces driving this world into the abyss. They have the will power and the work ethic to forge a prison planet for the rest of the vulgar, unlearned, unbegun, unwashed masses.

They’re all a bunch of crooks. They come up with ways to make money from their position and care less about the people they are supposed to represent. It is hard to fathom wealthy people with millions in the banks and wanting for nothing, unable to stop themselves from wanting/stealing more. I haven’t seen one policy decision from the Biden administration that represents my thinking or wishes. The grown-ups are now in charge? more like super criminals are now in charge. It will be a miracle if Trump makes it back into office, then he still has many people apparently willing to do anything to jam him up.
I still feel an economic collapse is happening right now and Trump will be the fall guy for it all.

If I had to pick among today’s leaders a guy with the knowledge and ability to remonetize this shit show or bring in a Gold Standard it would be Trump. Getting rid of this maniacal regulation assault and illegals and Pukraine, reshoring industries, using our own resources and telling Cali to fuck themselves and mining REE there would get this beast back on its feet.

Trump will do zero to change our economy in any meaningful way. Zero. He likes printing money out of thin air as long as it goes into the stock market, his only measure.of.economic success. Even if illegally rigged and paid for by non owners of stocks in the most blatantly immoral ways possible.

JHK studiously ignores the central fact about the “elections”. Both parties, if we’re to accept that there are indeed two of them, are enslaved to Israel. It’s because money is the mothers’ milk of politics and the routine issuance of billions in aid to Israel assures that the Likuds always have the money to buy politicians. The most recent overreach in their funding seems to have made them aware that some pushback will be coming, thus the latest anti-antisemitism law.

If funding for Israel is cut off, funding of political campaigns will stop. Can’t have that, y’know, and any outcry over robbing US citizens to fund the political class’ bribe machine has to be outlawed. It’s getting a little too easy to see.

“We may never find out”- Apparently, Kunstler has taken tap dance lessons from Fred Astaire himself, as he deftly taps around the obvious and shrugs his shoulders with the best “who knew?” What we are being entertained by is the “Greatest Show on Earth,” while many find themselves taken in by the theatrics, many of the more informed folks can see through the charade and know who and what the “blob” is and why Kunstler doesn’t go there.
All of the actors are following the script (Trump included) to obfuscate the truth and keep the uninformed distracted so the real work can be completed.
All of those hopefuls that Trump can somehow prevail and regain the White House will be stunned to discover that he was just following the script all along. Nothing will change, because those that own the U.S. and its political machinery have already calculated the distance to the finish line and secured all measures of chance to the trash bin.
Our future is being planned by those who are not elected, but rule over the puppet politicians, as well as the majority of their constituents that still hold out hope for a brighter future under a Trump presidency.
Nothing could be further from the truth, as the road to perdition is already mapped out, complete with road signs, rest areas and of course, the final destination.
The blob has prevailed and our future is in the hands of the most nefarious, evil, sinister den of vipers ever allowed to draw a breath – and by being wrapped in hopium and not facts, many will love to have it so.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:7

Why didn’t the Pentagon at its height of glory ( say early 1990s ) just take out all the bankers and the” Kazarians” and whomever else and just declare themselves the rulers of the world? . Who could a stopped them ? Its a serious question , militarilly / kinetically nobody could have stopped them . Do the bankers have standing armies that could have completed with that ? I know what you’ll say , the US military is / was their standing army . But why should it have had to be that way, the question still remains ?

Shakespeare’s Longest Play: Hamlet @ 4,000 Lines

We Got that beat hands down!🤣

THIS one has been a goin’ on since George III – Children, Facts & The American Revolution and his cronies were removed by an “Inside Job for NOT paying attention to valid reference material:

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

And to this Day?

Blatantly obvious that EVERYONE involved, @ ALL levels is complicit.

’cause:

“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,..” *

And They hain’t a payin’ attention. Neither.

Video clip transcript from the 2005 (Bruce Levin)
Protocols of Zion — Documentary.
time-1:05:47-1:06:23.

Douglas Rushkoff
Author, Nothing Sacred: The Truth About Judaism

” The thing that makes judaism dagerous to EVERYBODY!, to every race, to every nation, every idea, is that we smash things that aren’t true. We don’t believe in the boundries of nation states, we don’t believe in the idea of individual gods that protect groups of people. Thease are all artificial conatructions and judaism teaches us how to see that.
In a sense our detractors have us right, in that we are a corrosive force (Bruce Levin laughs out-loud), we are breaking down the false gods of all nations and all people because they are not real. And that’s very upsetting to people”.

Poster’s comment:
Who anointed these self superior people (including Kunstler) as the final arbiters of truth?
Much less, when did the American people seek out a corrosive force in their society?
It’s clear to most rational human beings that these many decades of the presence of corrosive forces culminated in the seamingly, fully corroded america we live in today.

I posted this clip to Conspiracy Central (P2P) in 2005. It had been copied, translated, and uploaded to YouTube by many others. This clip has been scrubbed from Youtube, but the the full documentary is up there with the time stamp location included above.
