IMMUNITY FROM LAWFARE

      It's really somewhat of a sad commentary on the state of our society when the Supreme Court actually doing its job for a change is a topic of national debate. The recent decisions overturning Roe v. Wade and repealing the abominable Chevron Doctrine was enough to send the Whacko Left Wing into chimp-out mode alone; but yesterday's decision to extend justice to President-in-Exile Trump has thrown Trump Derangement Syndrome into the mix. We really haven't seen paroxysms of rage at this level from the Left in over three years. 

    If we look at the US Constitution, it's noteworthy that half of our first Ten Amendments (4-8) are specifically designed to prevent weaponization of the Legal System. Both parties have been trying to turn all five of them into a Dead Letter for decades have succeeded in doing so in some cases. The Political Class didn't care so much as long legal abuses effected everybody else, but until yesterday it was starting to spread even to that previously untouchable group. Immunity under the Color of Office was put into our Founding Principles for a reason. Without it, nobody in a position of authority could make a decision without putting themselves at personal risk. Our Founders restrained legal abuses as much as possible; today all one has to do is look at the British Government with its pompous poseurs strutting around in their ruffled robes and ridiculous powdered wigs screaming at each other on the floors of Parliament over the most trivial policies to get an idea of what we escaped. 

   

     Likewise, we managed (mostly) to avoid the scenes of many South American Republics who make a regular habit of throwing their political opponents in jail. A Judicial Tyranny is still a tyranny. The legal issues surrounding President Trump and the equally execrable calls from the Right to take legal revenge on the Democrats was leading us into that very kind of Vicious Circle. 

    Americans today aren't in the habit of stopping to think and reflect; but they should look at yesterday's decision a sign that our Legal System is in serious need of reform. The Whacko Left---now that their ox has been gored---is talking about 'reforms;' which, as usual, means making the situation worse. When we speak of reform, we mean reining in a system that's largely out of control and danger to our liberties moreso than being a protector of them. 

   The actual purpose of the Judiciary is not to validate political agendas, exact personal revenge, or enrich lawyers as most Americans seem to believe. The Judiciary is part of a Balance of Powers that protects the general population from both Executive and Legislative over-reach. Unfortunately, too many Americans seem satisfied with the idea of over-reach in those branches too, which is part of the problem. 

   Via the Corporate Media and well-publicized fat Court judgements and sensationalized trials, the American Public has come to venerate the Legal System with an air of sanctimony formerly devoted to religion. This has led to the Legal System becoming an industry with the most egregious corruption and venality being disguised as a Pursuit of Justice. All of the judicial persecutions of President Trump highlights the depths of depravity to which the System has sunk. Trump was vindicated in this case and Justice was served; but we can see from the circumstances leading up to yesterday's decision that the system, metaphorically speaking, is on life-support. The few remaining Jurists and honest lawyers that our country has are all that's holding this System together from plunging into complete anarcho-tyranny.

   The ultimate problem is that there is neither the political nor the popular will to change the Status Quo since too many people benefit from the injustice and corruption that has now become systemic. Again, this is a problem entirely of our own making: we've looked the other way too long, grabbing our slice of the pie instead of holding lawyers and judges accountable and demanding that our government enforces the Constitution. Instead, we hear croaking from the Punditocracy on both the Left and the Right that the Court doesn't favor Interest Groups enough. Yesterday's decision was a good start; but until we address the root of the problem, it may only be a temporary victory.

   

DOESN'T THIS MAKE YOU FEEL CONFIDENT?

     For whatever they're worth, polls since the 'Debate Debacle' are showing surging support for the Republican figurehead and his Party. Most of the support is coming from interest-groups like the Log Cabin Republicans and Bush-Machine donors who were supporting Democrats and RINOs until the Conservative-Industrial Complex also decided to go fully 'woke.' It could be that the RNC strategy of pandering to the worst elements in human nature more efficiently than the virtue-signalling Liberal pandering is getting results. Based and Red-Pilled is only the Reactionary form of Woke and Politically-Correct; and in a system of Managed Democracy like ours, the ends always justify the means. 

   Among the Plutocracy transparently posing as Populists, Tech Lord Elon Musk and his confederate David O. Sacks are the top-level ringleaders roping in Wall Street and WEF Oligarchs for a hostile takeover of the MAGA Movement. Bolstered by servile propagandists who tell us that bowing before our betters and accepting our places as peasants and serfs is the new normal for Conservatives, the aforementioned Sacks was all over social media venues this weekend praising all of the Billionaires who've joined in the effort to replay the 2000 Elections and seat a Neocon on the Royal Throne. There too was no shortage of potential courtiers praising all of this.

     Sacks shamelessly said on one these podcasts---in what has to be a textbook example of psychological projection (or blatant hypocrisy) that: "The Democratic Party is a collection of interests who want to remain in power. The Democratic Party is the party of government. Its goal is to allocate money and power from the government to the collection of interests who backed the Democratic Party. In other words, it’s basically a collection of, of interests who want to loot the Republic."

   I have no argument with that definition of the Democrats, but to try and pretend that it doesn't define the Republicans just as precisely is to ignore reality. Republican Administrations and Republican Congresses have presided over the most massive wealth-transfers in US History from the productive class to wealthy parasites since the first Bush Administration abandoned Reaganomics---a policy which actually did benefit the working class. 

   There has been effusive fawning online over some new Plutocrats who've come on board. For example, Doug Leone, CEO of Sequoia Capital which bankrolls some of the most predatory corporations on Wall Street---many of whom are government contractors themselves. Leone made a bundle off the Scamdemic as part of Trump's COVID Task Force, and later threw Trump under the bus after the January 6th protests. Sequoia Capital is heavily invested in Tik-Tok and pushed for the forced sale of that venue to cash in on "the smooth sale to a US Corporation." Steve Mnuchin, another of Trump's Cabinet who baled out on him, is part of a consortium angling to take over Tik-Tok. 

   Another sterling character praised by the True Believers for returning to the GOP fold is Stephen Schwarzman of whom one said, with wholly unintentional irony, "has made a sharp U-Turn and is now Kissing that Beautiful round Orange Ass of Donald Trump too." Schwarzman is CEO of the Blackstone Group, a WEF Partner which has been heavily involved in promoting 'Smart Cities.' Schwarzman is himself a WEF member, and deeply connected to the Bush Machine and Neocon Establishment. 

  These developments don't exactly restore much confidence here that the next Republican Administration will represent the largely-disenfranchised American people as much as the Controlled Opposition Media would like to claim. As one of Sacks' fundraisers put it, "Donald J. Trump is the real deal. Put your money where it will do the best for you and this country." The problem with this statement is that what is best for the Corporate Deep State and what is best for the country are mutually exclusive. I think that it's a safe bet which of the two is going to have precedence over the other when it comes to the Plutocracy. 

   It would be interesting to hear from the True Believers any good reason as to how the support of these unaccountable Robber Barons in any way benefits the Conservative Movement. It seems though that 'Joe Biden Sucks' is about as deep as their reasoning goes, so the proponents of the Great Reset may just see more gullible pigeons on the Right than on the Left. 

 

THE DEBATE DEBACLE, PART II

      Prior to the 'debate' last Thursday---although most Americans have probably forgotten already---the previous week's Story of the Century was panicking us all with tales of a heat dome; an unprecedented heat wave; etc.--- all due to 'man-made climate change,' of course. Also as typical, the pundits were right on top of Climate Change Denialists who couldn't see the proof of the impending apocalypse right before their very eyes. Unfortunately for the knee-jerk supporters of the Settled Science, somebody actually waited until the end of June to collect some actual facts. 

    This should serve as a friendly reminder to us all that whenever the Media Cartels are all on the same script pushing any 'narrative,' it's time to start asking questions about what we're being told. 

   Just before the 'Great Debate,' the Controlled Opposition was priming its loyal dupes with tales of how CNN was "rigging the debate" to favor Biden. Less than 24 hours afterwards, every major media outlet was droning about "Biden's dismal performance" and even had lists of replacements carefully prepared. It is a bit suspicious too, that for the first time in history a debate was held before a nominating convention.

  From what excerpts I've seen of Thursday's farce, Biden didn't really perform any better or worse than he usually does. It's not as though nobody has noticed that his speaking skills are less than stellar: even when Biden was Obama's Vice-President, the Administration rarely let him go off and speak on his own. However, just a few weeks before the Convention it's suddenly become an issue of concern for the Uniparty. 

  True, the Controlled Opposition has been playing up Biden's 'feebleness' for a long time: mostly to divert attention from their own aged candidate's problems as well as the GOP's utter lack of any substantive issues. The so-called 'Right' has been carrying on all weekend like a bunch of cannibals dancing around a stew-pot; gleefully anticipating the Head-of-State's imminent downfall. I don't know what the Conservative-Industrial Complex hopes to gain: if Biden withdraws, they'll lose about 90% of their entire platform---which is wholly centered on personal attacks against the current White House. 

      I certainly am no supporter of the Biden/Harris Junta, but this whole event is starting to smell fishy. The weird scheduling of the debate; the controlled circumstances under which it was conducted; the RNC downplaying expectations; the uniform chorus from the Establishment in the aftermath; all of these very convenient polls suddenly showing Trump surging---none of this is adding up to anything positive. 

    The True Believers, who've convinced themselves that simply ridding our country of the Biden Junta magically will fix all of our problems, won't be bothered by any of this. I have a suspicion, though, that they will be bothered once we find out what the Deep State actually has up its sleeve. 

THE DEBATE DEBACLE

       So CNN treated us all on Thursday to a Reality TV show disguised as a profound political event. From what I've seen so far, both had stirring debates over each other's golf games and allegations of sexual perversion; but they did both agree that Russia is responsible for all of our national problems. CNN even had---like most Reality TV shows---a live viewer-vote on who had the best performance. The general consensus seems to be that the team of Joe & Kamala shouldn't be dancing in this November's season finale. 

     In case anybody's wondered why the debate broke with precedent and happened prior to the Party Conventions, about three weeks ago we suggested what might be afoot behind the curtain. The Oligarchs haven't been especially happy with the Junta's performance in pushing ahead the Great Reset; and their bungling of Foreign Policy across the globe must be displeasing to the Corporate Masters who are losing billions at the hands of the Yemeni military; not mention that the subjugation of Gaza is running months behind schedule; Ukraine hasn't recovered a single yard of territory; China is refusing to be intimidated; African countries are kicking out their Western overlords; and Europe's subjugated population is growing increasingly restless. 

   So after this anomalously timed debate, we're seeing almost as though it were scripted every Corporate mouthpiece from Bloomberg to the New York Times calling for the Head-of-State to withdraw from the race. To underscore their seriousness, billionaire hedge-fund scumbag and Bill Gates crony Bill Ackman---one of Chuck Schumer's top contributors---joined with a growing number of woke Oligarchs to support the Trump campaign.  

    That's right, Franklin; although saying that nowadays gets one branded a dangerous Conspiracy Theorist instead of getting elected four straight times. 

   The question right now is not if, but when, Biden will be removed. California Governor and WEF Young Global Leader Gavin Newsom is the most talked-about replacement. It all brings back memories of the 2000 Election when the GOP coronated George Bush Jr. who also wasn't interested in running until a groundswell of support suddenly materialized. 

   Despite all of the crowing from the Controlled Opposition, this Election has been following a script from the beginning. The Oligarchs are hedging their bets by filling the Trump team with Swamp RINOs and interest-group cash, but even the clear Republican lurching to the Left won't be enough to save them when Biden is replaced. It's all building up to a dramatic finish like the Super Bowl, but in the end only the Deep State will win.

     

UNDER THE RUG

     So in the midst of the Media hoopla ahead of this Night of Nights in the Atlanta Thunderdome, issues actually effecting the future of our Civilization continue being swept under the rug. Blogger InsanityBytes had an interesting post up today relating to a scandal and cover-up involving Pastor Robert Morris, who leads a Texas-based Megachurch. 

    In the interests of full disclosure, I must confess that I don't know all the details of this case. Our culture's definition of sexual abuse is so elastic that skepticism isn't unwarranted; but at the same time, the known character of most of these Megachurch leaders and the Boards who run their enterprises also warrant not dismissing such allegations out-of-hand. The important thing about IB's article is that she has been the only writer so far who's actually discussed the impact of these scandals on the fathers involved. 

   "I wanted to speak about secondary victims, in this case, the victim’s family, especially her father. I don’t know his whole story. but in part he was angry and probably wanted to kill the man who had hurt his kid. We do know he confronted them. What some people don’t understand about child sexual abuse and an ensuing cover up is that you’ve just victimized a whole lot of people. The safety and well being of children and their healing is a priority, but I mean, often a father is decimated in the process, too. I’m not trying to speak for him, but I’m sure he must have struggled a sense of betrayal, with his own regrets and inadequacies, his own inability to protect one of his children through no fault of his own. I have no idea how he may have also wrestled with faith, wondered if that too may have been a deception, but those kind of things would be likely."

   I would say that based upon my own observations and experiences that this is very likely true. In Masculine Psychology, which our paid 'experts' today either dismiss as nonexistent or smear as inherently 'toxic,' the sense of feeling powerless in the face of blatant injustice, especially when it ties men's hands and prevents them from acting in self-defense or the defense of others is devastating to man's sense of self-worth and dignity. There's nothing quite like the anguish that a man feels when he knows that, on equal terms, he could prevail but is obliged to chafe knowing that the party who's injured him is wholly untouchable and could swat him down as easily as one would use a fly-swatter. 

   Young boys (at least the normal ones) have an instinctual hatred for bullies. Our first encounters with them reinforces our sense of duty to protect and defend. It's part of a young man's growth process and prepares him for his future social duties. Our rotten society, though, brutally suppresses masculinity not only boys, but in young men: and the despair that this generates is reflected in what is now called the Crisis of Masculinity and is reflected in things like the mounting suicide rates among younger men. 

    Suicide rates don't even include numbers of deaths by addiction or accidents which may have involved suicidal ideation and which also disproportionately affect young men. Our social policy of suppressing masculine instincts and psychological constructs doesn't make them go away; it simply causes men to repress them and this not infrequently builds into rage. The fact that the majority of mass-shooters are also male is another consequence of this policy. The more that our 'experts' spout off about 'toxic masculinity' and the need for further repression, the more that these violent reactions occur. Blaming the Scamdemic, access to guns, online radicalization, or lack of access to mental health facilities are the excuses---not the reasons---for this crisis. 

   The Crisis in Masculinity is not only reflected in other outward signs such as the widespread trend of drifting into homosexuality or otherwise men dropping out of society and their traditional roles. Those things involve repressed anger too, though it is expressed passively. An often overlooked reaction is the tendency of repressed males to seek vicarious expression in a strong leader who knows how to play on this psychology. This is a real danger. We saw it play out in Europe after WW1 when men who were disillusioned by the sting of military defeat endured additional depreciation by the Liberal social orders that rose up in the aftermath. They turned to manly Alpha leaders like Mussolini and Hitler who symbolically gave voice to that inner rage. The growing appeal of such caricatures of Masculinity in our own culture is no accident. 

    

       IB mentions the spiritual effect on men and it does have that effect too. It's noteworthy that in this connection, the Catholic Church holds two mortal sins: Unbelief and Despair. The first is self-explanatory, it denies God's existence; the second though denies God's goodness. Men are especially vulnerable to this when spiritual leaders have let them down, as most of our Megachurches do. It's excruciating enough for a man to realize that that his nation and culture have forsaken him, but when he becomes convinced that God has forsaken him too, he is truly beyond help. 

     Tonight, as we'll be treated to some of the worst examples of American Masculinity, we ought to reflect what all of this says about our culture and not simply sweep it all under the rug hoping that some Superman is coming to save us from ourselves. 

  

A COLOR REVOLUTION IN THE GOP?

      Earlier today, there was some actual good news making the rounds. After a harrowing battle going back to the mid-Obama Administration, Julian Assange unexpectedly was released from prison after a plea deal with the US Deep State. Assange was a victim of our capricious and vindictive Legal Establishment and was expected by many of us to die a martyr to the great cause of destroying the Globalist Corporate Cartel threatening to extinguish centuries of progress made in Western Civilization. The reasons for the Biden/Harris Junta's sudden decision was probably politically motivated, since Assange had supporters across the political spectrum. What will happen to any of their promises after the Election is an open question, but for now, Assange is returning home. 

     The other good news came from Africa. Kenya, which like the US, had a heavily US-backed election recently and since has plunged headlong into the Great Reset agenda, found out what the Kenyan people really think of American Neoconservatism. 

       At least we always have the consolation of seeing good men doing good things abroad. Here in the Prozac Nation we're all breathlessly anticipating tomorrow's Show of the Century, where both the Democratic Presidential Leader and his Republican counterpart are gearing up to launch accusations and innuendos at each other. 

      On Tuesday, the Trump Campaign announced that his Vice-Presidential nominee (whom he has not named) will be at CNN headquarters in the audience. The known attendees then were depressing enough, but then came this distressing news. 

   "So the latest juicy rumor going around social media tonight is that Vivek Ramaswamy will be Trump’s pick for Vice President… As hard as that may be to believe, Trump said his VP pick will be at the debate in Atlanta on Thursday, and Ramaswamy will be attending the debate. So that’s what has set off social media tonight."

   

      I hope that this is only a rumor. That's exactly what we need: a 78-year old President with a WEF Young Global Leader and Soros protegee as the second in command. Unfortunately, there's reason to suspect that it might be true. Ramaswamy was heavily pushed by the billionaire Tech Lords dropping massive loads of cash on the RNC recently, and he's acceptable to both them and the Bush Machine via his deep connections to Big Pharma, Big Tech, and the WEF. Of course, too, he represents diversity. 

     Even more disturbing is the exuberant slobbering going on among Social Media 'influencers' at the prospect; the narrative that Ramaswamy is just the sort of unrestrained Manly Alpha Leader that America now needs. Consider some of these gems from 'influencer' Noah: 

     "Speculation has been swirling about who it will be, and whether we will get the full announcement on Thursday night or just a whittling of the field to those confirmed to be in attendance. My initial top choice was Kari Lake."

     Like most of these would-be 'Alphas,' Noah's first choice was a strong independent woman. Never mind that Kari Lake's most recent achievement was fighting to overturn an abortion ban in Arizona, but we digress...

   "I see plenty of fine Republicans, but no one that has that same DNA as Trump and Lake until Vivek came along...He was a fearless leader, doing what he thought was right and not answering to anyone else, definitely not to pollsters. He leads just like Trump."

  Given how Trump has been 'leading' lately, that sadly may be true. Ramaswamy certainly was a fearless proponent of expanding government power during the Scamdemic. Nonetheless:

  "Not to say Vivek is better than Trump, but he does have perhaps even wilder platform issues, like shutting down 90% of the Federal Government!"

  Obviously because Corporate America is too heavily regulated and the government hasn't ceded enough power to Wall Street. Imagine the fun that the Gates Foundation and BlackRock could have if even the minuscule authority that the Government has over them were completely removed. Now for the good part:

  "That’s what President Trump needs, an 'insurance policy' that if they take him out somehow, the backup is just as much of a badass — if not even more so! I think Vivek has Javier Milei vibes, some of what are even more extreme than President Trump. And that’s what we need in a VP for this second term.We need a wild man!"

  

      If this any way reflects the thinking of the average Republican voter, then a Republican victory in November is even more dangerous than a Biden victory would be. Javier Milei (another WEF member, BTW) is a problem for South America. A character like that in charge of the United States would be a problem for the entire planet. 

    Make no mistake about it: Vivek Ramaswamy is dangerous. Even more dangerous are sock-puppets like this 'Noah' character who not only don't see the danger, but openly promote it as desirable. We've seen this trend throughout the 2020s. Pundits embracing the likes of Andrew Tate, Steve Sailer, and Doug Wilson. Governors acting in defiance of civilized norms of governance. A Congress wholly focused on vengeful abuses of power. Religious Conservatives advocating genocide and even calling for deploying atomic weapons in their 'righteous' cause. This has become a movement not about restoring our Republic, but simply one determined to seize power and to exercise that power to its maximum potential against anyone they fear, hate, or envy. 

    

THURSDAY NIGHT RAW

     Buried in between the usual doom-and-gloom and celebrity gossip stories, the vermin in the Corporate Media have been trying desperately to generate interest in Thursday's upcoming Presidential Debate. Both factions of the Uniparty have been talking smack to each other, much like pro wrestlers do before an upcoming Cage Match. This is the most important election of our lifetime, after all; and one vote really does count as much as million dollar donations do. 

    The Biden/Harris Junta has been accusing the Controlled Opposition of spreading AI-generated fake images of the Head-of-State; charges which are being roundly denied by the Conservative Punditocracy, because they certainly never stoop to such things. President-in-Exile Trump even mentioned it during widely-circulated coverage of a rally in Philadelphia, except that there was one small problem:

         

      Oops! Oh well, it's the thought that counts.

      To add some more spice to the drama, Trump announced that he's decided on a Vice-Presidential choice and that unnamed person will be attending the debate! Known attendees on the 'short-list' prepared for him by the Bush Family include Senators Tim Scott, Marco Rubio, and J.D. Vance, along with North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. 

     I'm not certain what these two are actually going to debate about. The Controlled Opposition has been making a big deal about Biden's age, although at 78, Trump is not exactly a spring chicken. A lot of talk online is centering on which one will swoon and collapse first. Apparently, Trump's hardline stand on immigration is off the table now, after a meeting with some high-level WEF-connected banksters. They can't debate social issues since the GOP has thrown up the sponge on that one too. I suppose they can argue about Foreign Policy---other countries always make good scapegoats and distractions---though Trump will have a hard sell claiming that Biden is too soft on Russia and China since the Junta has driven both countries to the near-breaking point of a Third World War. In other words, it doesn't appear that the Main Event is going to live up to the hype. 

    The debate is going to be held on CNN, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers whose top stakeholders include Financial Octopuses who own about 1/3 of the company. The Corporate Media isn't even bothering to hide Corporate staging of the whole production; or even bothering to pretend that there isn't any scripting involved. 

    I don't know what my plans are for Thursday Night, but I know what I'm not going to be doing. Just about anything else would be a more constructive use of one's time.
