pcr clearly identifies a bit of the stupidity the masses believe here in the empire and some of the cost;

The United States Cannot Survive the Corruption of Its Leaders and the Insouciance of Its People

Paul Craig Roberts

The United States military was sent into Afghanistan two decades ago on the basis of a lie. The warmonger neoconservative George W. Bush regime lied to the American people, to US soldiers, and to the world that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, that bin Laden was hiding in Afghanistan, that the Afghans would not turn him over to stand trial, and that the US military was going in to get him.  

After 20 years of bombing weddings, funerals, kid’s soccer games, medical centers, farmers, schools, and murdering large numbers of Afghan women and children, President Trump said enough and announced he was bringing US soldiers home.  All it took to block the president of the United States was one corrupt, scheming, neoconservative, who made up a story that Russia was paying Afghans to kill American soldiers.  The neocon handed the lie to an obliging New York Times which never saw a lie unworthy to run with, and that was the end of the withdrawal.  

The entirety of the presstitute herd, a passel of anti-Trump Democrats, and the Republican Liz Cheney declared the lie to be confirmed fact.  President Trump was again demonized as a Putin agent for wanting to withdraw the troops instead of holding Putin responsible for the deaths of American soldiers. Moronic Americans actually believed that bounties paid by Putin was the only reason American soldiers had died. Parents of soldiers killed in the Afghan War demanded to know why President Trump was pulling the troops out instead of facing down Putin..........read more........

 the video rebel has posted again and as always quite accurate i believe even though its predictions as so far i haven't found this blogger to be wrong;

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris both have strong ties to George Soros, Bill Gates and other despicable billionaires. Nobody knows who makes which decision in DC though we do know former President Obama is a frequent White House caller. He is probably just the point man for people above him.

No matter their ultimate source, the policies coming from from DC  will cause a Perfect Storm in America featuring the starvation unto death for millions of a formerly well fed people. Millions more will die from violence when Americans fight each other for dwindling food supplies.

The US is currently led by idiots who want to simultaneously militarily confront Russia, China and Iran on 3 separate fronts. Iran is the weakest of the 3 nations and even they have Mach 14 missiles which are far beyond the Pentagon’s meager capabilities. I doubt America will be capable of doing anything militarily overseas except surrender by election day 2022.

How will America become so weak so quickly? The first part of DC’s Perfect Storm will be Hyperinflation. Currently, the US M1 Money Supply is growing faster than Argentina’s. I have previously said that at the current rate of monetary expansion that the US M1 Money Supply will grow 2,000% from October 2019 to the summer of 2022.

In the 1973 movie Soylent Green Americans are presented a bleak future in 2022 when their country is over populated. The movie said 350 million people. Biden already has 333 million early in 2021 and is sending out for millions more illegals. And he wants to give citizenship to all H1-B Green Card Holders and their relatives and future spouses back in their home country............read more.........

 the covid plandemic is being sold by those with a dog in the fight. the rest of us notice that there's no there, there, and this link will show more evidence of that reality;

As you can see, states which did not lock down over the winter, far from having many times more Covid deaths, have actually had fewer – 1,671 vs 1,736 deaths per million. There may be demographic or other reasons that some states have a higher or lower number of deaths than others so we shouldn’t read too much into the precise differences. But even so, if lockdowns are supposed to suppress the virus to low levels and thus prevent ‘hundreds of thousands’ of deaths (or the population equivalent), then how is this possible? The only conclusion is that lockdowns do not work as intended and do not suppress the virus........read more.........

 i believe that kunstler is getting better each week in describing the insanity that surrounds us, and this is certainly one of those essays;

Rep. Maxine Waters (D – Calif) laid it out neatly Friday night on a visit to Minneapolis, where she apparently went to stir a pot of racial hatred that was already on boil without her help, following the accidental killing of felonious bail jumper Daunte Wright (first-degree aggravated robbery, fleeing from police, and possession of a handgun without a permit): “We got to stay on the street,” Ms. Waters yelled at the mob gathered in the suburb of Brooklyn Center, “get more confrontational!” Yes, exactly what the sore-beset city needs, as it awaits this week’s verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin, about which she added: “I am very hopeful… that we will get a verdict that says guilty, guilty, guilty. If we do not, we will not go away.”

Former police officer Chauvin is charged with Murder 2, Murder 3, and Manslaughter all predicated on varying degrees of intention and recklessness in the death of George Floyd, the internationally acclaimed saint-of-oppressed-peoples who died under Mr. Chauvin’s knee in an indelible video shared ‘round the world last May. The video has the status of a religious icon, portraying, as it seems to, the vivid distillation of the black experience in America: pure, unalloyed, hateful, murderous subjugation.

The trouble is what’s not in the indelible picture: Mr. Floyd’s prodigious ingestion of the world’s hardest narcotic, fentanyl, at a level likely to cause death, plus methedrine, plus THC, on top of a 90-percent blockage of a coronary artery, and other cardiopathies, and Covid-19, all according to the official medical examiner. Also, as it happened in the instance of his arrest, Mr. Floyd was failing to follow police instructions, and acting dangerously deranged — behavior apt to lead to police restraint, under which he died, rest his soul.

So, now it will be left to the jury to sort all this out, under the threat of getting “doxed” (having their home addresses disclosed) by the Black Lives Matter org, as well as following the $27-million lawsuit settlement on the Floyd family for “wrongful death” by the Minneapolis City Council before the trial commenced — not exactly a propitious lead-in for a fair outcome. One might even view the public expressions of black opinion leaders and politicians as coercive — but then coercion is the animating spirit of liberal Wokery, the wish and the will to punish at all costs..........read more........

 13 commonly used words and phrases with outdated origins;

 caitlin calls this essay: stop siding with the powerful;

The US government’s armed goon squad executed a 13 year-old special ed student whose hands were empty and in the air and they’re telling Americans to worry about Russia and China.

❖

The word fascist gets thrown around a lot, but if admitting you support police executions without trial as long as the victim is a “thug” doesn’t meet the definition, I don’t know what does. And that’s exactly what anyone who smears such victims is admitting.

Send all cop apologists to a desert colony where they can set up their Judge Dredd dystopia that lets police execute anyone without trial if they’ve been labeled a “thug”.

❖

Defending the most powerful is always the wrong position. Defending cops from the people. The rich from the poor. The US empire from weaker powers. White people from the causes of people of color. Men from feminism. Israel from Palestinians. You’re just helping to create a more unjust and imbalanced world.

Most people intuitively grasp this, which is why a lot of effort by the powerful goes into making the up-power party look like the down-power party. But that just proves that power knows it can make itself more powerful by getting more people to defend and side with it.

You’ll see such distortion in attempts to spin the leaders of empire-targeted governments as the up-power party just because they’re the dominant power within their own nation, even though they’ve got the might of the entire US-centralized power alliance stacked against them.

That distortion is also what you’re seeing when the US plays the poor widdle victim to Russian hackers and terrorists, or when people talk about Israel as this tiny little underdog surrounded by enemies when it’s armed to the teeth and backed by the entire US power alliance...........read more........
