hornberger presents some interesting thoughts about how the empire is ruled in this essay;

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, is apologizing for the role he played in President Trump’s photo-op in Washington, D.C.. Dressed in battle fatigues, Milley accompanied Trump to the event in which National Guard troops attacked peaceful protestors with tear gas and rubber bullets in order to clear the way for Trump to conduct his photo-op.

Trump and the Pentagon had ordered 5,000 National Guard troops to Washington to deal with the protests against police brutality. One National Guard commander referred to the situation as “the Alamo,” implying that the White House was under siege by people who were set on conquering the federal government and massaging the occupants of the White House. Trump and the Pentagon even ordered the 82nd Airborne Division to Washington to prepare for they beloved might be the start of a fateful battle for our nation’s capital. At some point during the “crisis,” Trump was even whisked down to to the basement of the White House in order to keep him safe..........read more..........

anyone who continues to believe what their tv tells them is batshit crazy. kunstler presents in this essay what might be a starter kit for those who still cling to the idea that either of 'our' political parties is in anyway useful for the citizens;

The USA has gone so batshit crazy in these months of the corona virus freak-out that an orgy of looting, arson, and murder, on top of epic job loss and business failure, propelled the stock markets up-up-and-away back to near-record highs — until it finally puked yesterday in a rare moment of self-revulsion, like a sot who has been drinking after-shave. The news media barely mentioned it, though, so fraught are they by the toils of systemic racism, a morbid condition not unlike “the vapors” of Sigmund Freud’s early days, curiously lacking specificity.

Which raises the question: how much of the response to the public killing of one George Floyd has been an engineered operation by the Democratic Party and its allies in the propaganda industry? I’d say, an awful lot, considering the presentation of events in The New York Times and other organs of the perpetual Resistance that have been luxuriating in existential woe surrounding the indecencies of whiteness, culminating in the fake abject ritual of contrition put on by Ms. Pelosi and Chuck Schumer taking-a-knee in their Kente cloth prayer shawls. Within a few more days, at least four cops around the country were ambushed and shot in the head, but there were no public displays of mourning for them.........read more..........

you might wonder why this is, as i do, but since 'our' government is full of shit and lies continually i don't see any good reason forthcoming;

when a virus reproduces;

some notice what's happening;

the video rebel calls this a must see bill gates cartoon video, and i suspect you may agree;


This cartoon came from a man who has exactly one video on his channel.  It has not quite 30,000 views. Of course the real number of views could be more. Please share. I have included a couple of Memes that also need to be seen. Please feel free to add your memes in the comments............read and watch more........

'our' government is once again presenting illusion in place of actual different actions to deal with the obvious;

Abusive relationships where the abuser is a transparently horrible monster don’t tend to last long, because it becomes obvious to the victim very quickly that they need to head for the door. The ones that last are the ones where the abuser is an adept manipulator, who is able to elicit sympathy and attachment in the victim while constructing a prison of mental narratives in their head.

The hardest of these to escape from is the “nice guy” abuser, the kind of abuser whose manipulations revolve around framing themselves as good and virtuous while squeezing the psychological noose on the victim tighter and tighter. These are difficult to escape because by design they are hard to recognize as abusive while you’re in them, even while you’re being drained of life, liberty and happiness to the abuser’s benefit.

To escape from a nice guy abuser, it helps to actively push for things that they can’t say no to without blowing their cover. If he presents himself as a woke and sexually liberated feminist, for example, you can begin disrupting the web of nice guy narratives by saying you’d like to stop having sex with him, or that you want financial independence. Anything they desperately want to control but can’t say “no” to without the nice face mask slipping off. Their desperate attempts to manipulate you back into the position you were in previously will expose them, and make it much easier to find your way to the door through the fog of manipulation.

The escape route from the nice guy fascism of liberal narrative managers operates in much the same way...........read more.........
