THE FALSE DICHOTOMY

      Blogger Citizen Tom had a post yesterday titled The Ceasefire Reflex where he was debating another blogger named Marcus Ampe. Tom takes the position held by the Republican Establishment, while Marcus argues essentially the Democrat Establishment's position. While I don't agree with Tom on the Middle East issue, I give him credit at least for defending his positions with argument. There's no reasoning with most other Conservative writers on this subject. a la Ben Shapiro, who react to opposing views much like Liberals do when someone suggests that things like 'Systemic Racism' are hoaxes.

      The reason that Citizen Tom's article is instructive is because it illustrates the False Dichotomy between Liberals and Conservatives. The Conservative position basically boils down to this: the Zionists somehow represent Western Civilization and values; they are under attack by an alien culture, and---while it's regrettable that there is collateral damage among Palestinian civilians, the Zionists' Final Solution to the Palestinian Question is a necessary evil to save the world for our great-grandchildren. 

    Marcus Ampe's position is not much different than the Biden/Harris Junta's policies. The Liberals advocate Ethnic Cleansing with a Smiley-Face: they want a ceasefire and a chance to relocate the already-dispossessed Palestinians to someone else's backyard. 

    Whether on takes the realistic Conservative approach or the humanitarian Liberal one; the end result is the same. Whether the Palestinians are exterminated or loaded on boxcars and shipped off to camps, the Zionists still seize the territories and the Gaza oil fields for the Greater Glory of the New World Order. No one is debating whether or not that is a desirable outcome. 

    Aside from the peripheral moral detail inherent in offering about 5 million people the choice between Genocide and forced deportation (and then shamelessly playing the Victim Card when they choose to fight back instead), there exists a strange mentality among many Americans that somehow Supranational Globalist Commercial Cabals with a fanatical desire to 'reset' all of humanity is less of a threat to Western Civilization than developing countries on the other side of the planet are. There is endless bowtie-clutching and nail-biting afoot over what Islamic fundamentalists (whom most Islamic States actually oppose) might do to us, when criminal combinations like the WEF and their affiliates are already here, undermining our Culture and subverting our Democracy. 

   All Moslems combined make up barely more than 1% of the US population and not a fraction of those have any sympathy with the Jihadists. In contrast, the Commercial Oligarchs pushing the Great Reset have infiltrated---by their own admission---not only our Government but have our great ally on our Northern Border completely under their thumb. Here in the US, they own most of the important land, they have de facto control over our media, our schools, our military, most of our justice system, many of our churches, and most large businesses. They hold vast control over our food supplies, water, transportation, healthcare, fuel, housing, and energy. They aren't finished yet either, they want even more control. 

   Israel---whose President is a WEF member---is a model State according to these Oligarchs. If anyone doubts this, just go to the WEF website, type 'Israel' into the search-box and read the effusive praise that Klaus Schwab and his merry-men slobber all over the Zionist Regime. They can't celebrate hard enough Israel's draconian response to the Scamdemic, their innovative surveillance technologies, their experiments with 'Smart Cities' or their homo inclusiveness. Klaus Schwab even penned a Statement on October 14th, which had not a word of criticism for the Zionist Regime though he strongly condemned the Palestinian Freedom-Fighters. 

  American Liberals are, for the most part, hopelessly out of touch with reality, which is self-evident from nearly every statement coming out of the White House on the Middle East. In the case of American Conservatives, it is a genuine conundrum. For example, when Conservatives talk about open immigration, they argue that native-born Americans are being supplanted by an alien culture and praise people who try to defend it against 'invaders.' I don't necessarily endorse that position, but what they're describing is precisely the position of the Palestinians. It was the Arabs who governed and lived in Palestine for nearly a millennium in relative peace until they allowed unrestricted Jewish (both legal and illegal) immigration and saw their own culture and society replaced by an alien one. Since 1948, half of Israel's Prime Ministers weren't even born in Palestine and none of them were from families who'd been there more than three generations. 

   The Arabs not only lost control of their Government, they lost most of their civil liberties to the point where they literally have no rights that a Zionist need respect. They've been pushed off their own land into de facto reservations, had the Zionists close down and persecute their religious institutions---including forcing Zionist and NWO propaganda on Arab children---even to the point where the Regime openly boasts about holding homo Pride Events in holy sites like Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The Palestinians are fighting back---with more determination and courage than the Keyboard Conservatives in America have ever shown---and yet the American Conservatives defend the secular tyrants and call the freedom-fighters 'terrorists.' 

     I believe that an explanation for this type of Cognitive Dissonance on the Right is rooted in fear. It's a two-pronged type of fear. Many haven't forgotten 9/11 or the horrors of the ISIS Caliphate and see Jihadism as a tangible threat, albeit a relatively remote one, at least to Americans. On the other prong, they mentally cancel out the more dangerous and omnipresent threat---one which they experience on a daily basis---deceiving themselves that by voting or something that they can actually change it. The bogey-men, whether Arabs, Chinese, Russians, or immigrants are 'enemies' they can focus upon to compensate for their utter powerlessness against the real enemies who are actively working to enslave us (and succeeding, BTW). 

   What Americans need to do is look at Palestine as an example rather than a threat. We need to do what they're doing: putting aside our superficial differences and distractions and uniting against the Deep State and the commercial interests upholding them. Across the Middle East, the Freedom Fighters are proving that the Oligarchy is not invincible. Hopefully Americans won't be reduced to the level of the Gaza Strip before they decide to resist; but I'm not optimistic about that happening.

 

   

THE WEST'S WAR ON FREE SPEECH

      Our friends over at the blog Vulture of Critique posted a pair of really informative articles during the weekend which highlighted several newsworthy stories which our Corporate Media has swept under the rug behind the Middle East and Trump Trial distractions. There have been further revelations about the extent of the outright lies sold to us during the Scamdemic, questions about the suspicious Maui Wildfire (which has completely fallen off the MSM newscycle), Israeli political bribery rampant in America, and further shenanigans of the WEF. 

    In light of events in the Middle East, we ought to remind ourselves of the consequences of the COVID-19 National Panic Attack before blindly accepting the Official Narrative and acting before thinking. I realize that, to most Americans, 2020 and 2021 are about as remote as the era of Julius Caesar, but we're still living with the fallout of vast personal and economic devastation, extensive expansions of Corporate-Political power, and rising deaths and debilitation from the unsafe Loyalty Vaxx. All of that was for nothing: absolutely nothing. 

   Actually, even then we should have remembered the consequences of the 9/11 aftermath and how our reaction and response ended up doing more damage than the actual terrorist attacks did. We're still living with the consequences of those too; and, if we listen to the pro-Israel propaganda flowing from Corporate mouthpieces in government and media, we're evidently no safer from the terrorist threat now than we were then. 

   With the offensive in Gaza bogging down and Ukraine about to collapse, the Deep States across the West are beginning to implement further crackdowns on dissent and opposition. This shouldn't be surprising since, in January, their masters at the World Economic Forum made "combating disinformation" 2023's top priority. 

  Dr. Reiner Fullmich, a German physician who led a courageous legal challenge against the Scamdemic, was kidnapped and extradited to Germany by the Gestapo under the same flimsy pretenses used to silence Julian Assange. Germany was one of the first European States both to ban pro-Palestinian protests and speech generally. They were also among the most slavish of EU countries backing the Ukraine conflict---going so far as to seize Russian 'assets' including all of their media outlets. Klaus Schwab's homeland, of course, is no stranger to New World Order-type ideological movements or police-state authoritarianism. After the Second World War, Germany was divided into two zones: one governed by ex-Nazis and the other by Soviet Communists. After they reunified in 1989, they took the lead in dominating the European Union and have been in complete solidarity with the Beltway Deep State ever since. 

    France, Poland, and other EU/NATO lapdogs aren't far behind Germany, but the rest of the Anglosphere is gearing up for some major moves against Freedom of Speech and Press Freedom. That isn't to suggest, of course, that these things haven't been decline here for many years already. New Zealand arrogated to itself extensive powers over dissent even before the Scamdemic began (and yes, the threat of terrorism was used an excuse then too). In Canada, Tienanmen Trudeau's bloody suppression of the 2022 Anti-Scamdemic protests and subsequent censorship laws have already broken the backs of much of the Canadian resistance. 

   The Australian Deep State---which has been assuming illegal encroachments on Free Speech for the last several years on a local basis is preparing to codify all of these usurpations into a national law. Alongside of this proposal is a new law which would ban parochial schools as independent entities. "The latest such proposals, worked out by the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC), seek to eliminate the exemptions to the country’s discrimination laws which allow religious schools to expel students, fire teachers, and turn down applicants based on their sexuality, relationship status, and pregnancy." Amazing how the Christian and Conservative Media outlets in the United States seem to have overlooked that story---especially since they seem so deeply concerned with the Rights of Jews these days, one would think that attacks on Christians would elicit some sort of outrage. But then again, these are foreign Christians. "I got mine, sux to be you," sums up American Christian Conservatives' attitudes towards just about anyone without lobbying dollars to refresh their commitment to Christian charity. 

  Meanwhile, over in Good King Chuck's Jolly Old England, the hammer of censorship is about to drop hard. The blog Electronic Intifada posted a good backstory of the ongoing collusion between so-called British Liberals and so-called British Conservatives to bring this about. The Manchester Guardian reported today that a leaked document from the British Deep State seeks to expand their already tight rein on dissent---without even bothering to get nominal approval from Charles' Rump Parliament. 

    The US has already been experiencing much of the 'soft censorship' that we saw during the Scamdemic. Governments and Corporations are issuing gag orders or dismissals of pro-Palestinian functionaries; the Media is circulating bans on certain topics; Academia, Incorporated is shutting down pro-Palestinian student organizations and banning demonstrations; the Tech Lords are blocking or shadow-banning certain hashtags, etc. Both political parties are engaging in and encouraging Cancel Culture at its worst. 

   In our system of Inverted Totalitarianism, the Deep State ideally manages both sides of a political debate (only two positions are permitted) as part of the Strategy of Tension which keeps the populace divided and fearful and therefore powerless.  They tolerate some actual dissent to give the illusion that Free Speech exists, though they carefully marginalize anyone who's off-script as an extremist or kook too far away from the 'Consensus' to take seriously. However, occasionally, a crisis will be manufactured of such urgency that it requires both factions to present a unified front. In such cases, actual dissent must be suppressed because the topics such dissent raises are considered too dangerous to be discussed. 

   This happened after 9/11 and during the Scamdemic and is shaping up to happen again over the Middle East Crisis. It is part of the reason why people like Assange and Fullmich are sitting in jail right now---as a warning to others of what can happen to those getting too close to Third Rail Topics. 

   Both so-called 'Blue States' and so-called 'Red States' are already criminalizing dissent to various degrees. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib barely escaped a formal Congressional sanction for arguing---as a Legislator has a right to do---for Palestinian Rights. The Democrats voted unanimously against the sanction in the end: although the White House pointedly denounced her position as "disgraceful and repugnant." New Jersey Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer said, "It sickens me that while Israelis clean the blood of their family members shot in their homes, they believe Congress should strip U.S. funding to our democratic ally and allow innocent civilians to suffer," while New York Democrat Richie Torres chimed in that "U.S. aid to Israel is and should be unconditional, and never more so than in this moment of critical need. Shame on anyone who glorifies as 'resistance' the largest single-day mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. It is reprehensible and repulsive." 

   Both Gottheimer and Torres received well over six figures in campaign contributions from AIPAC in 2022, but somehow both the MSM and the Controlled Opposition Media overlooked that small detail. It doesn't suit the Narrative of either the DNC or RNC to point out how much Israeli money is flowing into each others' campaigns. 

  The Biden/Harris Junta, despite their depiction in the Controlled Opposition Press as appeasers of Hamas, quietly announced over the weekend an initiative to activate the already-weaponized Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security to expand Domestic Espionage at all schools and engage the campus police forces (many of which are private security contractors) to assist their efforts. Quite coincidentally, only a few months before the Gaza Uprising, the Junta officially launched a controversial program called the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism; which drew some criticism from the pro-Israel lobby for not conflating anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism strongly enough. 

   My suspicion is that we're only seeing the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to further Censorship and Domestic Espionage efforts (let's not forget that Israeli technology goes into much of the software that our Government and Tech Lords employ for both purposes). Besides, the Oligarchs at the WEF want more control of online content, and their opinion is the only one that really matters to Western Governments. 

   

   

THE OFFICIAL NARRATIVE BEGINS TO UNRAVEL

   It's now nearly a month since the Revolt began in the Gaza Strip, and things aren't looking especially good now for the New World Order crowd. Though passed over in silence by both the Mainstream and Controlled Opposition Media, our nominal Head-of-State reiterated his commitment to the Great Reset during a visit to Chile. This is the second time in two weeks that Biden has brought up this issue; unfortunately for him, Chile went against the Beltway and broke diplomatic relations with Israel. Long-time US ally Colombia followed suit, and today Honduras became the latest Latin American country to defect from the Party Line. 

  President-in-Exile Trump likewise noted that the Junta is trying desperately to use the Middle East conflict to slink away from Ukraine. It's becoming obvious to everyone that---just like previous conflicts in Georgia and Syria---our Pentagon and their Corporate Defense contractors are about to suffer another humiliation at Russian hands. That is going to happen in Israel too. The US-built Iron Dome didn't really help too much; and while the Netanhayu Regime has been inflicting heavy casualties upon the civilian population, the vaunted IDF isn't faring especially well when facing actual armed fighters. The IDF admits to taking 19 casualties in this latest offensive: however, my experience with these 'official sources' is that adding a zero to whatever figures they give is probably closer to the actual number. 

 The Controlled Opposition also isn't benefiting from exploiting the crisis. None of their presidential candidates have gained any traction from their hysterical pro-Zionist foaming. Congressional approval ratings are still circling single-digits, and their hopes for employing a West's War for Existence as a political talking-point hasn't materialized in any overwhelming demand for a 2024 Red Wave. They can't even use the lie about perceived American weakness any more because even foreign allies are breaking ranks with them. 

  Against this gloomy outlook, the Oligarchs have started resorting to their usual fallback position: silencing critics and scapegoating. We've noted that the Controlled Opposition has been playing the anti-Semitism Card; the Official Narrative now being promoted is that foreign actors are instigating Defeatism. Yahoo News, which according to ratings is the sixth-largest US news outlet, had a piece yesterday warning its readers that State-Controlled Media in Russia, China, and Iran (you know, the new Axis of Evil) are waging a disinformation campaign "to support Hamas and undercut Israel, while denigrating Israel’s principal ally, the United States." 

  This is, of course, in stark contrast to the American Media which is totally free from government influence, utterly objective despite being owned by Corporations who are government contractors, and being heavily funded by foreign governments like Israel and pro-Israeli NGOs, right? 

    Yahoo News itself is 90% owned by financial octopus, Apollo Global Management. AGM is also very heavily invested in the Military-Industrial Complex and National Security contractors. AGM's most recent Corporate takeover---just six weeks before the conflict in Gaza erupted---was acquiring the Arconic Corporation, whose "products are used worldwide in aerospace, automotive, packaging, oil and gas, building and construction, defense, commercial transportation, consumer electronics, and industrial applications."  What a coincidence. 

   About a quarter of Apollo's stock is still held by former CEO Leon Black, who escaped with a Golden Parachute in 2021 after being tied to CIA/Mossad front-man, Jeffery Epstein. Black has extensive ties to Israel and has donated heavily to pro-Israeli causes over the years. His father, too, committed suicide in 1975 when the family business was being investigated over ties to the CIA in operations in Latin America. 

   With that background in mind, it sounds a bit hollow for Yahoo News to complain that "the deluge of online propaganda and disinformation is larger than anything seen before, according to government officials and independent researchers." It sounds even more hollow when their sources for such an assertion come from Cyabra---an Israeli Government contractor, and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue---a WEF-funded front whose sponsors include the US Department of Homeland Security. The ISD was, like Apollo Global Management, founded by an Epstein associate. 

   The sickening subservience of the American Corporate Media is even more appalling when we consider that the Israeli Regime has assassinated at least two foreign journalists in Gaza since October 7th. There is no outrage over these egregious violations of press freedom. WEF Agenda Contributor Bloomberg News even proudly displays the Israeli flag in a show of solidarity with the Regime.

    These observations also give the lie to the Controlled Opposition/Republican Party narrative that somehow the Mainstream Media is biased against Israel. They only differ in their virulence on behalf of Israel; and it isn't as though major 'Conservative' Media Moguls don't have significant ties to the Deep State themselves. 

    With the advent of Internet technology, the Oligarchs face a growing challenge in controlling the Official Narratives and Counter-Narratives. The information is out there: the biggest problem is getting Americans to put down their hookah-pipes and turning off entertainment media sleaze long enough to listen to it. 

  

THE NEW RIGHT AND THE NEW LEFT

    I don't believe that it would come as much of a surprise to regular readers to be told that today's Democratic Party is really more than a cesspool of corruption and hypocrisy. We don't really focus too much on the Democrats here because there really hasn't been a traditionally Liberal faction in that Party for many years---Liberalism went extinct long before Conservatism did. Probably the Democrats' last Liberal candidate with any actual chance of winning the Presidency was the insipid Mike Dukakis in 1988. Since then, they've completely gone over to a stiff mixture of Clinton/Obama Neoliberalism and Whacko Left extremism. 

    True, in 1988, Conservatism also began its downhill slide with the nomination and election of George Bush Sr., but Conservatives retained a strong populist movement committed to its principles for many years. We didn't really see an antipode to the radical Left on the political Right until the last decade with the rise of the Alt-Right. Like their Leftist counterparts, the Alt-Right believes that the social parameters of self-government: reasoned debate, compromise, tolerance, diplomacy, and the free flow of information have failed; and the only solution is an increasingly authoritarian form of government dominated by those with the will to back their programs with ruthless force. 

   The Neoconservatives never actually disagreed with any of that; they simply---for tactical political considerations---at least disguised their attitudes by appearing 'moderate.' Since the 2020 Putsch, the Neocons have discarded any pretense of what they were all along and have been exceeding the Democrats in embracing antidemocratic rhetoric and positions. We've seen nothing from the Republicans during the last three years other than Cancel Culture, judicial witch-hunts, excusing outright crimes in the name of Political Correctness, praising authoritarian-leaning State and foreign governments, playing the Victim Card, fomenting disinformation, accusing the other side of foreign collusion, etc. This is one reason why we such a virulently divided sociopolitical climate today: it's less a War of Ideas and more a War of Ideologies. It's really only a 'war' on the surface, since both ideologies are utterly subservient to the same vested interests, but that is another story. 

    Once upon a time, American Conservatives opposed totalitarianism. We believed in the opening statement of our Founding Document which stated that "We hold these truths as self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights; among these are the Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Today, anybody who seriously argues that mainstream Conservatives believe in any of these things isn't paying attention. 

  Senator Lindsay Graham, reacting to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, showed his respect for Right to Life by stating that "there is no limit as to what Israel should do to the people who are trying to slaughter the Jews,”  which echoed the sentiments of fellow-Republican Mitt Romney's observation on Ukraine that "Americans are losing no lives in Ukraine...so we're diminishing Russia for a very small amount of money! To help the Ukrainians is about the best national defense spending we've ever done!" The 400,000 Ukrainian soldiers who've been sacrificed for Zelensky and the 20,000 or so Palestinians who've been sacrificed for Netanyahu might disagree, however. 

  We've mentioned in recent articles similar statements from the likes of Senator Mitch McConnell and National Review editor Ben Shapiro. Bear in mind that Graham, McConnell, Romney, and Shapiro are considered Moderates in the Conservative movement. Republicans betraying Conservative principles is not a new phenomenon, to be sure. However, Conservatives really ought to be aghast that our leadership is supporting openly secularist anti-democratic Police States and justifying genocide, martial law, and ethnic cleansing. 

  What's even worse is that Graham cites another cut-and-pasted Leftist canard: referring to criticism of Israel as coded anti-Semitism. The Left always pulled this argument against criticizing Jewish Liberals like Schumer, Soros, Ginsburg, etc. Now Conservatives not only do it, they actively promote it. They are celebrating Cancel Culture on universities and shutting down debate---by unilateral Government decree, no less. They are calling for a new version of 'woke' Corporatism. They are calling for suppression of peaceful protests. 

  Does anyone else suspect that---should these characters actually gain power next year---that they would behave any differently from the Left? No political movement that demonstrates this degree of contempt for truth, human life or human rights ought to be trusted by anybody. Don't be deceived here: 'woke' and 'based' amount to the same things. 

    If anyone is inclined to doubt this, let us engage in a little Thought Experiment. If Al Gore had won the 2000 Election instead of Bush, would anyone have noticed the difference? Gore might have advanced some Leftist social engineering that Bush never repealed anyway and Obama went on to implement---but that would be about all. Once the Deep State succeeds in eliminating Trump as a candidate, the GOP field will open to Bush Machine apparatchiks who hope to seize the Junta's reins of power and exploit them for their own power and profit. 

   It's a rather interesting commentary on today's Conservatives that the same leaders who are virtue-signalling about 'saving Israeli and Ukrainian lives' can't bring themselves to stop Abortion Racketeering in all but about a half-dozen States. The same crowd who prates about 'keeping our children safe from the terrorist threat' can't muster the slightest interest in addressing the rampant addiction, infertility, or suicide rates among the young---except to do stupid things like ban Tik-Tok (actually not banning it, but forcing the Chinese to sell it to Wall Street-owned media cartels). Now they are preaching their commitment to fight 'anti-Semitism' while praising persecution of Christians by Governments both at home and abroad. 

  It ought to be obvious by now that the leadership on the Right cares no more about American lives than they care about non-American ones. Just like the Left---which they are no more than a mimeograph of at this point---they have no qualms about sacrificing anyone or any principles standing in the way of a totalitarian Police State which, as pundits have recently informed us, models the tyrannies of people like Macron and Netanyahu. That is supposed to be an improvement over the Left's hero-worship of Trudeau and Zelensky. 

  Until the Conservatives in America resoundingly repudiate these Neocon rats and their Alt-Right hangers-on, the Right has no chance of becoming a positive force in American politics again. 

THE WEST'S TRUE WEAKNESS

    Predictably, the situation in the Middle East is escalating, though reading the American Media one would get the impression that the only real fighting going on is between Republicans and Democrats. Actually, the last few days have seen both some serious diplomatic and military repercussions.

    Turkey has gone against the NATO bloc and severed diplomatic relations with Israel; today Chile, Colombia, and Bolivia recalled their ambassadors. On the military front, Israel has deployed warships to blockade Gaza and engaged in further border clashes with Lebanon and few 'accidental' incidents on the Egyptian border. The Government of Yemen---which recently defeated a heavily US-backed attempt at its overthrow, went even further and actually announced that a State of War exists between themselves and Israel. This shouldn't be dismissed too lightly: Yemen proved its mettle and some extraordinary ability in fighting asymmetrical warfare against a superior force. Though passed over in discreet silence by the US Media, Russia (you know: the country that's losing in Ukraine and running out of men and material according to 'experts') has deployed ballistic missiles all along its Middle Eastern borders and issued a strong warning to Israel to the effect that further aggression against Syria might have some unpleasant consequences. 

    It's evident that the Corporatists and their puppet-governments are becoming increasing isolated internationally. Even before the Uprising in Gaza, we saw growing defiance towards the New World Order spreading throughout Africa and the Middle East, and now apparently in South America as well. There's a strong undercurrent of resistance swelling in Europe, although the assorted Regimes there have a fairly firm grip on power. This situation has led to a choir---all singing in unison throughout the Anglosphere---among the symbolic Conservative opposition that our current leadership's alleged weakness is leading to this loss of prestige. 

    The idea that the growing international backlash against our Corporate Deep State reflects our weakness is half-true. It is a response to our weakness, but not in the sense that the Alpha-Neocons mean it. 

    Since the first Bush Administration, our entire Foreign Policy has been based on the ethos of the schoolyard bully. Bullies are usually only strong when attacking individuals. As I recall from my schoolyard days, most bullies met their downfall when their individual victims decided to unite and win by the force of numbers. That's exactly what's happening to US Foreign Policy on a wider geopolitical scale. The Uprising in Gaza, like the Ukraine Conflict and the Canadian protests, were started by people who simply had nothing left to lose. Today, foreign governments are realizing that the US can't attack everybody---all of Africa, the Middle East, South America, Russia, China, and North Korea---all at once, so they feel more confident about standing up to the International Bully and saying 'no.' That; and they've come to realize that they'll go on being victims if they continue to submit, so they've nothing to lose by fighting back. 

    This is why all of the claptrap about "lack of willingness to respond with overwhelming force" and similar slogans coming from the so-called Right are nothing but illusions. They are in willful denial of the Reality that their own arrogance and bully-boy tactics have been the cause of these worldwide reactions; and---contrary to what many on the Right say---nobody really respects or envies 'Alphas' but instead despise them for what they really are: a bunch of swaggering punks who can't succeed at anything except through force and fraud. 

   The American Public by and large is willfully ignorant of the same facts of life. If the majority were still capable of doing simple math, they would look at the billions that our so-called leadership is expending to prop up thugs like Zelensky and Netanyahu---as well as those fools in Taiwan---and compare it to the amounts needed to rebuild our own infrastructure, gain some control over our crime and drug epidemics, improve our schools, our health crisis, and the growing poverty levels, they might understand that the money could be better spent elsewhere. 

   There seems to be a strange Cognitive Dissonance among many on the Right, however, when it comes to how tax dollars should be appropriated. It seems that there is a general belief that investing in our own country is an immoral 'wealth-redistribution' scheme; while spending unlimited amounts for our military and espionage machine to conquer or destabilize foreign countries on behalf of Big Business is completely justifiable.

    We often hear mantras like "Why should we be taxed for other people's bad choices?" Or, "It's up to them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps!" What these people don't realize is how much things like our crumbling infrastructure and out-of-control crime are already costing us through sheer neglect. Billions are lost every year---not through inflation alone---but also by the added costs of traffic congestion, poor roads, outdated air and rail transport, and the pathetic state of our inland waterways. On top of that is our Government's complete inability to deal with natural disasters like droughts, floods, and pollution because there has been no significant investment in dams, desalination plants, wastewater treatment or levees in over 50 years. Billions are also lost every year because of the crime brought about by poverty and drugs. Somehow these things don't factor into anybody's calculations.

   An even bigger looming crisis comes from neglect of our school system, the unwillingness of regulators to stop dangerous chemicals in our food, water, and medical supplies, and our declining fertility rates. These cost us billions now, but that's nothing compared to what it will cost when the younger generations most effected by it become the majority. Other countries see it too: and the only real fear they have of America is that our Exceptional Democracy might get exported to their countries as well.

   Of course, if our self-righteous leadership manages to maneuver us into a Third World War, we can multiply all of those problems by about ten times what they are now. To say that we're headed in the wrong direction is a gross understatement. 

 

   

    

HOW THE WEST LOST THE PLOT

    There was an excellent article posted today by the Canadian blogsite, Gangsters Out, exposing the connections between (what the 'Conservative' Media calls) the West's War for Existence and the 2030 Agenda promoted by the backers of the Great Reset. It seems that our friends at the World Economic Forum have surfaced again on the Gaza Crisis. As typical of the WEF, they don't bother hiding what their agendas and intentions actually are: they can rely upon their stooges in the Media to spin the narrative and 'fact-check' their positions to market them effectively for public consumption. 

   Shortly before the Scamdemic and the announcement of a Great Reset (which just coincidentally happened within a month of each other), one of the WEF's listening-posts at the United Nations noted "Oil and natural gas resources in the occupied Palestinian territory could generate hundreds of billions of dollars for development. These funds could finance socioeconomic development in the oPt as part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development." Meanwhile, just as the Israeli Deep State was ordering its death-squads into the Gaza Strip, their Media reported that their Government was already raffling off oil contracts to supranational energy cartels. The various cartels involved include WEF Top 100 Strategic Partners Chevron, BP, and SOCAR, along with WEF associate partners Eni and Dana Gas. 

   Isn't it interesting how all of these recent foreign and domestic 'crises' arising in Western countries always seem to lead back to the same group? Here in the West, we're conditioned to slough off such suggestions as baseless conspiracy theories---because obviously, all throughout human history, economic and ideological interests have never conspired to do things like control global markets or governments. That, of course, doesn't apply to countries resisting the New World Order: according to the Official Narrative they are involved in a plot to overthrow our freedoms and way of life, and to believe that is not a Conspiracy Theory but to accept a settled fact. 

   There seems to be a misconception among many Americans that organizations like the WEF do the bidding of politicians. In reality, it is the other way around. One only has to look at the composition of the WEF Board of Trustees and the Corporations making up their 'partnerships' to see that this organization isn't just some glorified version of your local Chamber of Commerce. Side-by-side with the Corporate grandees on the Board sit high-ranking officials of both US political parties, the Canadian Government, various royal families, the European Union, the United Nations, the IMF, the World Bank, the Japanese Government, CERN, and the World Trade Organization. The WEF's Corporate Partners include several NGOs, state-owned enterprises, and high-level government contractors. 

   These wealthy interests likewise hire paid flatters and toadies from Academia to tell them what they want to hear; hire paid henchmen to pose as political leaders to manage and enforce their agendas; and hire media personalities to sell their programs to the public.

    

   In the US, and throughout the Anglosphere and their confederated satrapies in general, the populace is kept divided and distracted through an organized pretense of Controlled Opposition. Currently, the Republican Party is Controlled Opposition in the US, just as the Democratic Party was during the Bush Machine years. As of 2023, the political situation in the US is at an ideal point for the Oligarchy: both sides are bitterly and irreconcilably antagonistic over details while united on supporting the deeper plots and interests of their Corporate and Financial masters. 

  Aside from the threats to human life, liberty and prosperity inherent in such a system, there is a grave danger just based upon human nature. History and Psychology have shown that there is a fatal tendency among people who reach a certain level of power and unaccountability to start believing their own baloney and, since they never get any pushback from their paid courtiers and lickspittles, start going to greater and greater extremes. This situation is worsened when they maintain a Controlled Opposition, because that segment is always appealing to the worst elements in the populace and egging on even more drastic measures. 

    Ben Shapiro and Victor Davis Hanson---a pair of Neocon swine of the worst sort---were spouting off in public again today encouraging further New World Order atrocities. Shapiro was especially virulent speaking before Oxford University in Britain. It was extremely painful to watch the current editor of a once-venerable Conservative news journal founded by the genteel and erudite William F. Buckley screaming such hysterical invective as "The only solution for Israel is to annex the Gaza Strip and kill those sons of bitches!" and "Hamas likes living in sewage and blowing things up!" 

    Shapiro was flanked by AI-generated images of alleged Palestinian atrocities; and when asked refused to condemn the death of innocent Palestinian civilians and actually had unctuousness enough to virtue-signal about it stating that 
"Compassion also requires that you obliterate terrorist threats to your own population." He went on to demand that his cohorts in Media and Academia not only censor but terminate employment for and blacklist employees who don't support the Israeli Deep State, adding that "is a Jew hater, full stop, end of story." 

    The difficulty in posing a reasoned response to this kind of outburst is that there is no actual reason inherent in Shapiro's statements. Shapiro's speech was no different essentially in form to most of those delivered on other issues by the Whacko Left Wing in that it is raw emotion, canards, and packaged disinformation. Actually, the message itself doesn't even deviate much from the standard Left-Wing talking points: calling for political suppression of dissent, labeling opponents as racist Anti-Semites, demonizing stereotyped imagery of the alleged 'enemy,' virtue-signalling, etc. Anyone who compares Shapiro's speech with any speech from the anti-Trump Left will see that the rhetoric is exactly the same. 

   Conservatives once would have blushed with shame over a speech like this, whether they agreed with Shapiro's pro-Israel sympathies or not. This is the same kind of thing that crackpot extremists used to shout on city street-corners---and the real disgrace is that it's coming from the editor-in-chief of an internationally respected publication before one of the world's most prestigious universities. 

  Victor Davis Hanson's recent article is saying basically the same thing, although in a more measured tone. Hanson is basically trying to make the case that Bush Machine Foreign Policy of eschewing diplomacy as weakness and imposing our so-called 'national will' by force is justified. 

  Citing Theodore Roosevelt's maxim about "walking softly but carrying a big stick" Hanson misapplies it to the current world situation and says: "Our current diplomats have unfortunately forgotten that golden mean of guarded language backed with credible warnings of overwhelming force." 

  What Hanson is willfully ignorant of is that world has changed considerably since the dawn of the 20th Century. In President Roosevelt's time, it made sense for the United States to have a military at parity with other major powers. Back then, the Royal Families of Europe and East Asia had their larcenous eyes on the Western Hemisphere and keeping their hands out of the region was a constant struggle. Roosevelt's policy was about defense, not imposing America's will everywhere on the globe. 

   What our current diplomats actually have forgotten is actual diplomacy. During WW2, we had diplomatic networks with our current 'enemies' including Russia, China, and Iran. The post-War diplomats like Dulles, Rusk, and Kissinger hadn't forgotten the hecatomb that was WW2; and with the advent of atomic weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles realized that a Third World War would end in what they termed Mutually Assured Destruction. During the Cold War, they maintained these previous 'backdoor' diplomatic channels with these countries---whose diplomats likewise understood the consequences of another global conflict. They would negotiate behind-the-scenes solutions away from the heated political rhetoric to avert a war that nobody really wanted. Both sides usually came away with some face-saving compromises.

   Today, the New World Order of a universal Pax Americana proclaimed by Bush Sr. in 1990 have eliminated all of those networks. We have no one talking to Russia, there's nothing but a few functionaries of low standing in China, and we haven't talked to Iran except through intermediaries in 44 years. What passes for 'diplomacy' in the US today is simply characters like Hanson sitting around think-tanks like the Hoover Institute and drawing up position papers for the State Department to demand on other governments. Their credible threats of overwhelming force is the ultimate argument behind everything without the slightest concern for what these other countries' grievances might be. This is a recipe for inciting a war. If we look back to WW2, Germany, Italy, and Japan all took the same approach to Foreign Policy: that they were invincible and could achieve their ends through fear and threats because democracies were supposedly squeamish about fighting wars.

   After reciting the usual pro-Israeli talking-points, Hanson says: "In a recent Foreign Affairs essay, the authors argue that prior to the current bloodletting, Hamas was increasingly unpopular among Gazans. But, they insist, Israeli bombing and proposed ground invasion will sadly have the unintended effect of gaining lost sympathy for a once-loathed Hamas among the people of Gaza, and therefore only intensify Israel’s problems and isolation." Hanson takes issue with this conclusion, although that is precisely what happened. Maybe if Hamas was so unpopular in Gaza, a more measured and humane response from Israel would have won popular support instead? No: Hanson pooh-poohs the idea, stating that "As for global opinion, it is now anti-Israel as never before, as the stronger power is currently shown to be the weaker." Again here we see the distinctly Fascistic belief that human beings only respond to power---that Americans and Israelis need to be more Alpha. 

   Even more revolting, Hanson resorts to the same virtue-signalling as Shapiro, claiming that "the tragedy is that realist deterrence is moral, while naïve appeasement is immoral. Yet the former is unpopular and falsely dubbed cruel as it saves lives, while the latter is praised as humane as it dooms them," and throws out the anti-Semitic smear against anyone who believes that the Palestinians might actually have Rights worth respecting. 

   Shapiro and Hanson are further proof that we don't really have an organized Conservative opposition in America today. Conservatives are simply Liberals with cut-and-pasted terms plastered throughout the same Narrative. It's not only this way in Foreign Policy: it's this way across all domestic issues and controversies as well. Meanwhile, the Great Reset marches on while the political circus marches on at an increasingly high price. 

TRASH CULTURE IS NOT CONSERVATISM

    This weekend, Israeli death-squads made some forays into Gaza, destroying two more hospitals among other civilian targets. There is some conflicting reports about the level of US involvement; one thing though that we have learned from circa 1989 forward is that nothing that our Pentagon or MSM say about our operations or casualties can be believed. The maniacs in the Israeli Deep State have been instigating border-clashes with Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt and broken diplomatic relations with Turkey. Local patriots in Syria and Iraq have been making sporadic attacks against the Pentagon's forces illegally occupying those nations' oil fields. The Oligarchy's objectives in the region are becoming increasingly clear; but here in the Prozac Nation, division and distraction are the orders of the day, while the Princes of Supranational Commerce to carry out their plans unobstructed. 

    Once upon a time in the US, we had an actual Opposition which at least tried to put the American people's interests first. The fake Conservative fruitcakes making up the Controlled Opposition managed to make even bigger fools of themselves than they already have. First, their new role model as a Conservative leader, Emmanuel Macron announced that he was signing a law enshrining Abortion as a constitutional Right in France. The Christian Conservative House Speaker---elected nearly a year after the 2022 Congressional turnover---already is lining up behind the Junta to stuff the Military-Industrial Complex' pockets shoring up the thugs Netanyahu and Zelensky. Probably at least 4/5 of the $106 billion that Biden and Mike Johnson plan to expropriate from US taxpayers will never even get to Israel or Ukraine; and what that kind of cash actually could do to solve American problems is not open for discussion or debate. 

     The outrage of the week on social media, however, concerns 'conservative' activist Adam Guillette, whose residence was 'swatted' on Friday. Guillette is complaining to every sympathetic news outlet (i.e. the entire MSM) that the swatting was carried out in retaliation for his pro-Israel activism.

   Assuming that Guillette didn't swat himself for publicity, it might be well to consider what sort of activism Guillette has been performing. He's been touring various East Coast universities with his flying monkeys in a bright red van. His first tour at Harvard featured the van "covered in digital LED screens, displaying the names and photos of Harvard students who had allegedly signed a letter stating that Israel was 'entirely responsible' for Hamas’ surprise attack under the heading 'Harvard’s Leading Antisemites' while circling the school’s Cambridge, Massachusetts campus." His subsequent activities included buying "web domains for the student leaders’ names and 'set up profile pages to educate the public on what they’ve done,' rigging these to appear prominently in Google search results."

   If this kind of behavior was being committed by the Whacko Left, it would hardly raise commentary because it is so typical of their tactics. Where, though, is the criticism from Conservatives over this? We condemn the Left for doxxing people, shouting down political opponents, and launching smear-campaigns. Is it suddenly justifiable now because a so-called 'Conservative' does it? Swatting people for their political positions certainly ought to be denounced, but why overlook Guillette's actions? That should be the real debate here.

   Trash Culture seems to have taken over the Conservative Movement. It really began about a decade ago with the rise of the vulgar Alt-Right. The Neocons, since 2020 at least, have adopted their tactics---which isn't surprising because the two factions are natural allies. I used to refer to the Alt-Right as Alt-RINOs for this very reason. Both factions believe that ends justify the means; that controlling the 'narrative' is more effective that standing on principle; and that winning at all costs and rule by an 'Alpha' superman is the ultimate goal of politics. Force, fraud, and fear is the ideal of both when it comes to actual governance. 

    Adam Guillette's career is an example of this kind of Trash Culture writ large. He is the president of a leading 'Conservative' organization called Accuracy in Media. AIM's top three Corporate sponsors are Chevron---which has interests in the Gaza oil fields; IBM---which is deeply tied to Israel's tech and defense companies; and Novartis---a Big Pharma concern and part of a consortium selling the Scamdemic Vaxx to Israel at $56/dose. All three are WEF Top 100 Strategic Partners. The largest NGO supporting AIM is the Smith-Richardson Foundation, a think-tank widely believed to be a CIA cutout that was instrumental in promoting Bush's War on Terror. Oh well, at least Guillette isn't a Democrat; which seems to be about the only qualification one needs today to be part of the Conservative Movement. 

    Today's Conservative Movement is not only a national embarrassment, it's become an object of disgust. Conservatives need to start grasping the fact that we don't have a Conservative Party in the US right now and that we need to do some real soul-searching about our future.
