OFF THE CHARTS

       The ever-dwindling numbers of Americans who actually can remember as far back as 2021 might recall an infographic widely circulated by the Whacko Left Wing designed to equate anyone who criticized the Corporate Deep State as an anti-Semitic Conspiracy Kook. Here's what the graph looked like:

       Apparently, this particular outlook isn't exclusive to the Left any longer: the New Right (i.e. Neocons) is embracing it too. Rainer Zitelmann, a German 'intellectual' who formerly managed a consulting firm catering to globalist real-estate cartels, has authored an article making the rounds in the Controlled Opposition Media telling us all that anti-Corporatism and anti-Zionism are related concepts. Those who oppose Crony Capitalism are just jealous, and those who oppose Zionist crimes are racist meanies. Citing a rather dubious survey which he paid to have conducted, Zitelmann concluded:

     "Anti-Semitic stereotypes are based on conspiracy theories. It is the rich and super-rich—people like the Rothschilds or the investor George Soros—who, according to conspiracy theorists, are behind all the mischief in the world. Anti-capitalism and conspiracy theories are closely linked...This {survey} clearly proves the connection between anti-capitalism and conspiracy thinking."

    Well, that is owning the Libtards with a vengeance! Zitelmann has managed to take away talking-points from Left-Wing pundits like Thom Hartmann and Keith Olbermann. Evidently in today's brand of Conservatism criticizing George Soros is coded anti-Semitism. Zitelmann is the author of several books, fawning over the Oligarchy and arguing that those not of that class are motivated solely by envy. In other words, he's somewhat like the Right-Wing antipode to Yuval Hariri. 

    Just as he conflates Global Corporatism with Capitalism and the Zionist Cult with Judaism, Zitelmann also doesn't comprehend the concept of envy. No rational person begrudges anyone for being wealthy: what we object to is when the wealthy form combinations and cabals for the sole purpose of keeping us in both political and economic subjection. Despite what Zitelmann seems to think, more wealth doesn't make one an Alpha Superman and it certainly doesn't entitle anybody to be the lord and master of anybody else. 

    However, Zitelmann evidently believes that these types of confederations among the Oligarchy don't really exist, sneering that "The super-rich and lobbyists secretly guide and control the whole world. Anyone who believes this is only one step away from anti-Semitic conspiracy theories." Given the power of the Zionist lobby and their connections to groups like the World Economic Forum, it is understandable why he would connect (what he calls) 'anti-Capitalism' to (what he calls) 'anti-Semitism.' 

   Since we're discussing conspiracies, isn't it an amazing coincidence that these kinds of arguments are appearing just days after around 100 billionaires met at Mar-a-Lago and raised over $50 million for the Neocon cause? John Paulson, a billionaire hedge-fund manager who made a fortune when Bush plunged America into the 2007 housing-market crash, and who organized the event proclaimed: “Tonight, we raised an historic $50.5 million for the re-election of President Trump, This sold-out event has raised the most in a single political fundraiser in history. This overwhelming support demonstrates the enthusiasm for President Trump and his policies.” The Trump Campaign officially threw the Pro-Life movement under the bus the next day---in accordance with the depopulation goals of the Financial Elite---and now we have pundits apologizing for the Oligarchy and the WEF's 'model democracy' in Israel.

   It's become sadly clear where the so-called Conservative Movement is heading. The Republican Party has neither issues nor accomplishments to appeal to the general public, so they are courting the support of Corporate Elite---a strategy that worked well for the Bush Dynasty but not so well for the nation at large. Their grassroots appeal is geared towards the Christian Nationalist Megachurches with its Prosperity Gospel and the Alt-Right with its fetishism of wealth and power as the primary goals of life---the natural constituency for an authoritarian economic Elite.

    Americans ought to stop and reflect that we once actually had a government guided by the very same principles.

     In George III's America, rulers held their positions by the Grace of God, the wealthiest held monopolies on 90% of our trade, land , and people's lives in general; and Redcoats strictly enforced the Rules-Based Order. The Media monopolies routinely denounced any critics of His Royal Highness as 'conspiracy theorists' too. There were two political parties in existence then as well: both argued over details but agreed upon the necessity of upholding the Majesty of the British Monarchy at all hazards. Our Founding Fathers ejected these parasites from our shores and maybe we should follow their example. 

    

    
 

GOP WHOLLY SELLS OUT ON SOCIAL ISSUES

    So, only two days after the Bush-Machine funded Billionaires' Bash at Mar-a-Lago,---where a total of 117 attendees raised over $50 million for Republican electoral efforts---President-in-Exile Trump decided to 'clarify' his position on Abortion.

  “My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both." Trump said.  “And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state. Many states will be different, many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be.”

  That's generally the position of the Neocon Right. Predictably, the Controlled Opposition has been spinning the narrative assuring us all once again that we dutifully should hold our noses and vote Republican because the Democrats are so much worse. That, and the lives of the unborn in 'Blue States' don't matter since they'd just grow up and vote for Democrats anyway. As we all know, only Liberals ever get abortions and never based and Red-Pilled Conservatives, right? Not to mention the many GOP stakeholders in woke 'pro-Choice' Corporations whose commitment to profit is much higher than to principle.

  Not to be outdone, Melania Trump is hosting another gala fundraiser in Florida for the pro-homo 'equality' group the Log Cabin Republicans next week. As we predicted, the Republican campaign strategy in 2024 is an exact copy of what it was in 2000: "We can't win on social issues---the important thing is to vote out the Democrats who are weenies on National Security and the Economy!" Which translates now, as it did then, that the Military-Industrial Complex, the Police/Surveillance State, Corporate Control over the Economy can expand, while Americans can continue on in hedonism without being questioned about their assumed moral superiority. 

    Small donations to both parties (less than $200) are down in 2024 compared to 2016 and 2020 and polls show that voters dislike both candidates, but both parties are already raising record numbers of campaign cash: $192 billion for the DNC and about $93 billion for the RNC, which tells all that we need to know about whose interests are really at stake and whose aren't. The Abortion Industry itself is a multi-billion dollar enterprise---not counting the substantial rake-offs from trafficking in human fetal tissue and organ-harvesting. The Gay Mafia, too, is loaded with money. The Neocons aren't really concerned with all of this cash translating into votes: what it translates into electorally is the degree of support that the ruling Corporate Elites favor their candidates and see them as suitable for managing the United States for the benefit of the Corporate Agenda. The amount of cash both parties have heavily favors the Democrats right now; hence the urgency of the RNC to abandon populism and throw its support wholeheartedly behind the Corporate Autocracy.

   Sadly, though, the true believers are going to go on willfully blind to all of this, just as they did in 2000 and nearly every election since. It's equally sad that we have to keep reminding Christian Conservatives of this little detail here: but we are talking about the murder of children and warping the minds of the living ones with gender dysphoria. Neither even should be a debatable issue: but we're talking too about a constituency---and a culture generally---which values winning at all costs and padding that bottom line far more than it concerns itself with the value of a human life. Whatever the results of the 2024 Elections are, that attitude won't change, and we'll be ruled according to that attitude. 

   

CHINA SCOLDS US DEEP STATE DURING YELLEN VISIT

       Since 2021, it has been a long-standing stock-and-trade of the Controlled Opposition's official counter-narrative to accuse the Biden/Harris Junta of collusion with China. Of course, all of this is a marketing angle, basically cut-and-pasted from the Democrats' discredited 'Russia-gate' propaganda. The Republicans have no issues to promote in 2024, so they've adopted the Vox Day-strategy of selling a narrative: i.e. marketing a message with no regard to its truth or utility. Politics in America today is wholly centered on salesmanship and marketing. 'Fake It Till You Make It' is really the credo of both political parties, and describes our cultural zeitgeist in general.

    Common Sense would tell anybody outside of the GOP echo-chambers that the Junta's resuscitation of Obama's failed Pivot to Asia is probably not welcomed by China. The Communist Party of China probably dislikes the idea of being bossed around by Wall Street plutocrats and, being a nation of nearly two billion people, is not likely warm to said plutocrats' depopulation agendas. China also appears to be somewhat unhappy with the US building military coalitions to contain China; fomenting separatism in Taiwan, Tibet, Sinkiang, and Hong Kong; seizing Chinese assets like Tik-Tok and Chinese-owned farms; official harassment of Chinese nationals in the US; being scapegoated for the Scamdemic; being subjected to various embargoes; etc. Pointing out these obvious problems with GOP talking-points however brings down righteous wrath from the true believers. 

    Thus the Controlled Opposition's Media outlets have been downplaying Chinese reaction to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's trip to China. Biden dispatched Yellen to Beijing to complain about declining Chinese investment in the United States. The trip apparently has been planned for some time, with China not agreeing to it until recently. Thus far, Yellen has been snubbed by President Xi Jinping but has met with Party functionaries who scolded the Treasury Secretary publicly for abandoning America's Free Market principles in favor of Crony Capitalism.

   “It is hoped that the United States will abide by the basic norms of market economy including fair competition and open cooperation, refrain from turning economic and trade issues into political or security issues, and view the issue of production capacity objectively and dialectically from a market-oriented and global perspective,” Premier Li Qiang rather laconically stated after the meeting. 

  Dr. Jin Canrong of China's Renmin University gave what probably was the most realistic view of the Yellen trip in a statement to the Global Times:

  "According to this, we can have a conclusion that the US is asking for something urgent. Washington's national debt problem could be the top of the agenda. Yellen might ask help from China in the field of monetary policy. The Congressional Budget Office warned in its latest projections that US federal government debt is on a path from 97 percent of GDP last year to 116 percent by 2034, which is higher even than in World War II. The actual outlook is likely worse, Bloomberg reported on April 2. CNBC reported on March 1 that the debt load of the US is growing at a quicker clip in recent months, increasing about $1 trillion nearly every 100 days."

   Given that the GOP-controlled Congress signed off on the recent Biden Budget Deal, it's hardly surprising that the National Debt is discreetly being ignored by Republican politicians: likely too because many of the holders of said debt are also signing Republican campaign checks. High Finance is aggressively lobbying both parties for a transition to Central Bank Digital Currency after the Election, and would welcome a huge infusion of Chinese cash which they can pocket and leave China holding an empty bag after the transition. 

    The Chinese apparently aren't taking the bait. Liu Xiang of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences told the Chinese Media that "this is indecent for a US Secretary of Treasury to blame and contain China's development in advanced areas to protect US' backward productive capacity...the Biden administration should understand that, if they are coming to China to ask for help and cooperation, they need to adjust their arrogant attitude and speak nicely, and don't ask for unfair competition to confront and contain China, who will never submit to pressure based on hegemonic logic." 

   Xinhua News editorialized that "Talking of fair play in business and trade, America should wean itself off the practice of abusing the national security pretext to elbow aside leading Chinese high-tech and clean energy companies. They attempt to manage US-China relations from a position of strength, aligning everything with its own interests while disregarding the perspectives and concerns of others."

    So much for the propaganda about Democrat/China collusion. The fact is that the Financial Oligarchs covet Chinese resources and industry and the same interests fund both American political parties. The Commercial Cartels were delighted when the Bush and Clinton dynasties opened the floodgates for them to outsource American production to China, calculating wrongly that all of their money would give them leverage over the Chinese Government. Instead, Chinese law has prohibited foreign Financial Octopuses like BlackRock from holding shares in Chinese financial firms ever since George Soros attempted to crash the Chinese Yuan a few years ago. There is a strong suspicion in China---not held without good reason---that the Scamdemic was intentionally introduced into China to cripple China's economy. 

   The Financial Interests behind the Great Reset and its New World Order represent a fair greater threat to America and the World than Chinese economic prosperity does. All of the political propaganda about Chinese or Russian collusion is simply a diversion from the reality that organizations like the World Economic Forum has operatives in both parties, lobby and fund many Federal and State policies, and dominate the US economy for their own benefit. 

RED HEIFERS AND RED HERRINGS

     So the news today---especially from the Churchian side of the Prozac Nation---is abuzz with end-of-the-world happenings: earthquakes, solar eclipses, the US Treasury Secretary getting snubbed in China, and a strange story concerning ginger-colored cattle of which we will have more to say below. These happenings are coincidental with the holiday formerly known in America as Easter and a star-studded celebrity billionaire bash at the Wonderful World of Disney Mar-a-Lago. 

    Churchians hold many mysterious positions. One is that they seem convinced of an imminent apocalypse where they'll be whisked away to Heaven; while at the same time they seem obsessed with amassing as much temporal power and wealth as possible. They seem to hold this conception of God as the Great CEO of the Universe and that we are all stakeholders in His Corporation. Presumably, at the Last Judgement---which they formulate as some sort of Universal Assize---their stock-shares in the whole enterprise can be redeemed and they can all retire to some kind of Eternal Suburbia. 

   So, to speed up this process, a fanatic in Texas has been combing America's ranches to assemble a herd of perfectly red heifers (those are female cattle, for those who went to public schools) which he intends to ship to Israel so that the Zionist Cult can make a blood sacrifice. The ostensible purpose of this is to bring about Christ's Return or the advent of Antichrist: it's not clear which is supposed to be the outcome of this event. 

   Speaking for myself, I would presume that a more Christian thing to do would be to send badly needed beef to the starving population of Gaza just a few miles away; but these people are convinced that Jesus responds to blood sacrifices; human suffering, not so much. 

   This whole 'red heifer' idea is about as gross a specimen of paganism as possible. The very idea that sacrificing a particular kind of animal at a specific shrine to influence God's actions is a practice straight out of pagan idolatry. Since these Churchian Zionists and Nationalists all seem to revere the Old Testament moreso than the New, they should examine the Old Testament a little more closely.

  The Canaanites, who were the people living in Ancient Palestine before the Hebrews settled there had a religion not unlike today's Prosperity Gospel. The Canaanites were primarily an agricultural and maritime people, and such cultures typically tie God and Nature together. Very early on, the Canaanites worshiped the sun, but over time cunning rulers and hired priests learned that they control the populace by imposing upon them abominable rituals that supposedly guaranteed them the favor of their god, Baal, whose favors resulted in prosperity. 

  We learn from the Old Testament that God didn't entertain a very high opinion of such a perversion of religion. The Hebrews were to worship God by imitating His attributes which brought religious devotion to the individual level without the force and fraud of priests and kings. The Hebrews, however, were going over to the Canaanite beliefs continually, and these practices were denounced by the Prophets. 

  As a specimen of the theological depth of the people organizing this project:

   "Many American evangelicals believe the red heifers will usher the second coming of Christ. 'We're going to accept the Messiah, and we need the Messiah to come,' Byron Stinson, a Texan who helped bring the cows to Israel, said at the gathering. 'For me, the red heifer is red for the blood of Jesus Christ. That's why it's red.'"

     That one, I fear, will have to pass without comment. There are times when one just doesn't know what to say. It should be concerning though that the Speaker of the US House of Representatives was present at the event where this was announced: and we all know about what his moral compass looks like. 

    Jewish Rabbi Azariah Ariel, who heads the Temple Institute in Jerusalem, and is heavily funded by New York banking tycoons, actually stated that "this ceremony does not activate the requirement to build the Third Temple, and building the temple does not depend on the Red Heifers. We do not do the ritual of the red heifer so that the Messiah will come so that God will do something like this or like that.” That sentiment probably won't deter the likes of Byron Stinson or his followers since most of their knowledge of theology comes from Hollywood, not Biblical scholars. Stinson remarked: "The rabbis are so excited because, like us scattered in the Nations, everyone can feel the approach of a one-world government. You can feel the approach of this time that something has to change; and everyone feels it, and what they desperately are looking for is for the Messiah to come." 

   It shouldn't have to be necessary to remind Christians that our salvation rests upon the Sacrifice of Christ not the sacrifice of cattle; but what Jesus or any of His subsequent followers had to say doesn't carry much weight in American churches these days. This whole project is both a waste of time and a waste of good meat on top of being blasphemous and hypocritical. 

   

GAZA AND THE GREAT RESET

     We're approaching now seven months since the Israeli Regime launched a systematic campaign to exterminate the indigenous population of Palestine. According to latest reports, in Gaza alone about 33,000 are dead---women and children accounting for over 2/3 of the casualties. At least another 8-10,000 are missing; an unknown number of wounded since there are in effect no hospitals left. Gaza has had no water, sewage, fuel, or power services since October. The average Palestinian, according to some estimates, is subsisting on about 245 calories of food per day: to put that in perspective, that's about 3-4 slices of bread, depending on the quality. Food-aid workers are regularly attacked by Israeli Death Squads when they can get through at all; on more than one occasion, civilians were ambushed by troops using food trucks as bait. 

    Meanwhile, the suppression inside of Israel is reaching levels of tyranny not seen since the Scamdemic. Orthodox Jews, who were persecuted then, are being targeted once more, this time as targets of conscription despite being Conscientious Objectors. Saturday, a protest was put down in Jerusalem, and the Government is ready to ban foreign news outlets whom they deem not servile enough. The Zionists have murdered several journalists and regularly scrub reports in the Western Media; but our Corporate Media doesn't have a peep in the way of criticism to say about it. 

   The Corporate Oligarchs in the West, who covet Gaza's Oil Reserves and Israeli properties are pressuring their surrogate governments (including ours) not to intervene. The Biden/Harris Junta has been losing some support among its base over this and has been pushing for very limited humanitarian aid while continuing to send weaponry and money to the Zionists to continue the onslaught. The Controlled Opposition isn't any improvement: if anything their main criticism is that the Junta's been too soft on the Palestinians. Even President-in-Exile Trump gave a most disappointing assessment of the situation. In an interview with Deep State shill Hugh Hewitt, Trump said of the graphic photos released by the Zionists themselves: “People are imagining there’s a lot of people in those buildings … and they don’t like it, and I don’t know why they released, you know, wartime shots like that. I guess it makes them look tough. But to me, it doesn’t make them look tough. They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life and get back to normalcy. I’m not sure that I’m loving the way they’re doing it, because you’ve got to have victory. You have to have a victory, and it’s taking a long time."

    That's right: the whole problem with the Zionist's policy in Palestine is that it's bad optics. Pundits on the Right predictably have doubled-down on their Stand With Israel propaganda, complaining that "the Left" are a bunch of weenies who "blast Israeli 'disproportionate' responses! Demand that Israel avoid collateral damage! Pressures it to form a wartime bipartisan government! Lobbies to cut it off from American resupply!" The American Right has lost any moral credibility it once had; in fact, it's lost any credibility at all. The Democrats are hardly being soft on Gaza: in fact, at a gala fundraiser last week---attended by former Presidents Clinton and Obama along with a host of celebrities at the Radio City Music Hall in New York---the Head-of-State raised a record $26 million in bribes campaign contributions where it took six figures even to be seen in his presence. “You can’t forget that Israel is in a position where its very existence is at stake," Biden declared. The Controlled Opposition is planning an even bigger blowout event at Mar-a-Lago this weekend, which we've already discussed here. 

    If Americans were actually capable of critical thought any longer (let alone any sense of moral responsibility) they might start to realize that what we're witnessing is the Great Reset's policies being carried out. The extermination of the Palestinians is how they intend to deal with surplus populations who get in their way. Since the Great Reset was unveiled in 2020, we saw that year supposedly 'democratic' governments building interment camps, imposing martial law, quarantines and curfews and freezing out of society any objectors. They've since not only aggressively promoted unsafe foods, vaccines, and proliferated narcotics among the populace, they've brutally crushed dissent as we saw in Canada, France, and the Netherlands in 2022. What they initiated in Palestine is part of their Final Solution to the Human Problem. 

  I don't know how much more clearly this has to be spelled out. Organizations like the World Economic Forum have declared openly that 80% of the population is of no use to them; their positions and policies are delineated in detail on their own websites and they openly boast about their capture of Western Governments and control over their economies. It's not like this is a tin-foil hat conspiracy theory: they not only tell us what they're doing, they're displaying in Real-Time what they are capable of doing. What's happening in Gaza today will happen elsewhere tomorrow---maybe even your neighborhood.

  

BALTIMORE AND BEYOND

     The hyenas in the Mainstream Media have, predictably, been devoting what little coverage of the Baltimore Bridge Disaster they think that we should hear to deflecting any actual questions of what caused the catastrophe. The story has followed a standard pattern: the Deep State pronounces that "there is no indication that terrorism was involved" within a half an hour of being informed. The off-hand denial causes certain elements in the Controlled Opposition to spiral.

     That reaction draws a counter-spiral from the paid army of 'fact-checkers' and so on until the next crisis, meanwhile, the parties who should be under scrutiny go their merry ways conducting Business-as-Usual.

    The Duran had one of the more rational articles theorizing about what most likely caused the disaster---at least it was one of the few which solicited input from people who understand something about cargo shipping. The Corporate Media has been focusing mostly on the economic impact of the incident, while the Controlled Opposition, aside from gloating over the fact that the bridge workers killed were all immigrants, are complaining that the industry is over-regulated and that Wall Street doesn't have enough control over American infrastructure. The probability is that ruthless Corporate cost-cutting played a direct role in the collision. The Dali’s sudden loss of power raises serious questions about the condition of the ship, which was already involved in a collision in 2016 and recently cited for propulsion issues. Shipping conglomerate Maersk, which has the contract for the ship, was cited last year by our own Labor Department for attempts to silence whistle-blowers exposing substandard safety issues. We previously delineated all of the Corporate rat-lines surrounding Maersk before, and said then:

   "Maersk is a US Government contractor supplying the Pentagon's forces abroad, among other things. Why our own Navy isn't doing this, we don't know; but what we do know is that Maersk was fined for price gouging the Pentagon in 2012 and caught again in 2014 committing fraud in defense contracts. Maersk has also been caught violating sanctions; as well as retaliating against whistleblowers. However, not many objections will be raised, since they have a significant lobbying presence inside the Beltway, most of whom are Revolving-Door former Federal bureaucrats. 

   The former CEO of Maersk, Jim Hagemann Snabe is now CEO of WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner, the Siemens Corporation, Snabe is also a member of the WEF Board of Trustees, along with Bush-Machine apparatchik David Rubenstein. Rubenstein is involved with the Carlyle Group which is heavily invested in major ports worldwide. The current Maersk CEO, Soren Skou, is a WEF Agenda Contributor. Thomas Thune Andersen, another former Maersk executive, is now a Board member of WEF Board of Trustee Member Marc Benioff's NGO which is trying to exert control over the world's oceans."

   Maersk in fact was invited to participate in what was tellingly called a stakeholder listening session convened by Transportation Commissar and WEF Young Global Leader Pete Buttigieg on Thursday. Maersk was joined by representatives from Norfolk Southern Railway which was involved in the rail disaster in East Palestine, Ohio (among others). Israeli shipping cartel Zim also participated along with at least a dozen other Wall Street combines. Also invited to join the panel were several port-related bureaucrats and largely toothless labor unions which represent American workers about as much as Congress represents the American public. 

    Bear in mind that none of this was an inquiry into the cause of the disaster. By Buttigieg's own admission the purpose of this Committee was "to assess and mitigate the supply chain impacts due to the suspension of vessel traffic, and for their continued collaboration through regular calls and data sharing." If there is any actual conspiracy going on here, it probably boils down to these key points:

   1. To make certain that the Corporations involved in the disaster are protected from any potential liability;

  2. To obtain taxpayer subsidizes by playing the Victim Card over 'supply-chain disruptions' meanwhile ensuring that fat contracts for rebuilding and cleanup will accrue to themselves;

  3. To make certain that no Government officials are held accountable for failures to enforce safety regulations.

  4. To ensure that Union Bosses get their cut in exchange for keeping quiet about substandard working conditions and safety issues.

   Notably absent from the Government-Media Complex' collection of spokesxhes and pundits are people like Civil Engineers. The American Society of Civil Engineers reported that America's Inland Waterways  "reports a $6.8 billion backlog in construction projects and ongoing lock closures — totaling 5,000 hours between 2015 and 2019 —  harming the industries that rely on the waterways to get their goods to market. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates delays cost up to $739 per hour for an average tow, or $44 million per year." Of American bridges they inform us that "42% of all bridges are at least 50 years old, and 46,154, or 7.5% of the nation’s bridges, are considered structurally deficient, meaning they are in “poor” condition. Unfortunately, 178 million trips are taken across these structurally deficient bridges every day...A recent estimate for the nation’s backlog of bridge repair needs is $125 billion. We need to increase spending on bridge rehabilitation from $14.4 billion annually to $22.7 billion annually, or by 58%, if we are to improve the condition. At the current rate of investment, it will take until 2071 to make all of the repairs that are currently necessary, and the additional deterioration over the next 50 years will become overwhelming." The State of Maryland's overall infrastructure assessment was underwhelming to say the least, but it was actually better than most US States. 

    The 'experts' also say that rebuilding the Key Bridge will take about ten years. It should be noted, by way of contrast, that the world's two largest suspension bridges are in China---they were actually built at the same time in 2009---in under three years at the combined cost of around $13 billion US dollars. Both of the Chinese bridges service high-speed rail lines, which our exceptional country also doesn't have. All of the billions of dollars cited above for waterway upgrades, bridge repair, and new bridges are about 1/4 of what the GOP Congress and the Biden/Harris Junta just appropriated for the Military-Industrial Complex and expanding the Security State. 

   These are the issues which aren't being raised in connection with the Baltimore Disaster; nor is it likely that they will be given the current state of our political and media systems. Instead, we'll be told to make do with less while more wealth and power gets transferred into the pockets of the Oligarchs---who'll make sure that there are never any supply chain disruptions of drugs and distractions to keep our minds off the real issues.

    

EASTER AND THE IDES OF MARCH

    So I suppose that by now everyone's heard that our Glorious Leaders hijacked yet another holiday, changing Easter to Transgender Day of Visibility (whatever that means). I'm not sure why anybody is surprised: as we've been saying here for the last three years, that 2020 was a Color Revolution and revolutionists typically change traditional symbols to reflect the New Order. It isn't as though they haven't done any of this without Republican complicity, either.  Now that this is an Election Year, the Controlled Opposition is feigning outrage over these usurpations of our traditions, just like they all reinvented themselves as fierce opponents of the Scamdemic during the 2022 Elections. According to Breitbart, Bruce Jenner was deeply offended by the shocking display, and the New Right certainly can't appeal to a higher authority than that. 

      While what the Biden/Harris Junta did was certainly worthy of condemnation, the outrage rings a little hollow coming from critics who only a week ago diverted over a trillion dollars from America to support the highly anti-Christian Regimes in Kiev and Tel Aviv. Lots of Christians didn't get to celebrate Easter in those places: Ukraine because churches were closed and Palestine because there aren't any churches left to go to. 

     To top everything else off, Republican Congressman Tim Walberg---a former pastor and operative at the Moody Bible Institute---spread Easter Cheer by calling for deploying atomic bombs in both situations. “We shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid. It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick. The same should be in Ukraine. Defeat Putin quick. Instead of 80% in Ukraine being used for humanitarian purposes, it should be 80-100% to wipe out Russian forces,” Rev. Walberg pronounced. 

   I prefer not to live under a tyranny of any kind; however if I had to make a choice, I think that I would choose one run by incompetent blockheads to one run by highly efficient fanatics. It's much easier to wince at things like Transgender Days of Visibility and go on celebrating Easter anyway than worrying about how a bunch of Alpha thugs with no regard for human life might react to snubbing their decrees.
