Jan van Eyck Madonna and Child at the Fountain 1439 (height: 7.4“, 19cm) • Trump-Backed Funding Bill Fails House Vote As 38 Republicans Say ‘No
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle December 20 2024]“The war is over and it is safe for Syrian refugees to return home.”
Huh? Sure, now that it’s HEADED BY ISIS.“Assad is no longer a threat and nations like Austria, Greece, the Netherlands, UK, France, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, and Norway have suspended new refugee applications.
…Syria’s new leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani conducted an interview with an Italian news … saying his people have been “exhausted by injustice and tyranny.” His second priority is “to bring back the millions of Syrian refugees who are scattered around the world,” he stated. …Syria is now a free country that has regained its pride and dignity. Come back. We need to rebuild.”Yeah, wouldn’t want to have any of that injustice and tyranny stuff. Freest country on earth Norway, Holland, now says. All it took was to be run by an Al-qeada ISIS terrorist on captagon, not a dentist, and you’re all good!
Speaking of, anyone seen Assad’s army? I mean, anywhere, in any form, in any location? No? Not collecting in groups of 100, down at the Colonel level and holing up in some factory? No?
…Makes you wonder about DUMBs indeed. So then the entire army is about to pop out as Jolani is spread a mere 30k men over hundreds of square miles? Makes you wonder. Otherwise…what? What exactly? They all fell down and faded into the floor like a video game? That’s a lot of people.
“Trump’s team is pushing for at least a commitment to lift the debt limit before Jan. 20.”
Hellllllllo Trump. Do that spending. Republican all the way! Now you see why he’s not a Conservative but a moderate Democrat?
“Ron Paul: Trump Is Right, What Are We Doing In Syria? This is not our fight and every single thing we have done there for the past 75 or so years has only made things worse. Time for an America first foreign policy!”
Left Boot, Right Boot. Now that we got what we wanted, what are we doing there?? This is how they are the codependents, the Sociopaths to the DNC Psychopaths…or whatever. How about this: If we weren’t supposed to be there, it was all illegal, then I guess we owe them $100 Billion in war reparations, right? Minimum? Oh, I See: we take the regime change but do NOT do that. …We’re not sorry. Stuff your sanctimonious nonsense.

What forces?
“TruGO: Liberal Canadian Lawmakers Revolt, Demand Regime Change In Ottawa
“Around 50 Liberal MPs are part of a faction pushing for Trudeau’s resignation…Canada has to remove him by force. It’s useless unless they demand it, fight for it, and force it to happen. That’s what trains, gives, and demonstrates their Power instead of non-stop Canadian passivity. Where’s the Parliament that breaks out into an open brawl like a hockey match? I miss those days of real Letterkenny Canada. Brawling like Wolverine in Calgary. Be a man. Protect Canadian values.
“You got a problem with Canada gooses, you got a problem with me, Bud.” Btw, yes, this is an idiotic essay by a
WokeChild Karenette. “Wayne essentially turns himself into a human shield to protect those close to him; he never fights for himself, only to defend others.”That sounds Idiotic; what happens if we DON’T scrap at the drop of a hat? Well, let’s see: they non-stop abuse your sister, your friends, and your town, getting stronger and bolder and won’t stop until you scrap anyway. Right! Scrapping over every little thing it is then! Here you go. It LOOKS stupid. It IS stupid. But Men have to knock heads to maintain ORDER we can all live under.
Is ‘Orwellian’ Britain ‘Sleepwalking into a Totalitarian Future’?” CBN News
“Into”? Yeah, if we don’t look out something bad might happen. Wouldn’t want England to start losing their freedoms or anything.
Following “The PLAN” from South Korea yesterday:
“Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency over the bird flu. Of the 34 reported cases, 33 were working directly in farms. There is no grave danger to the public at large. This publicity stunt is merely a way for Newsom to have more power over his state ahead of Trump’s inauguration.”There is no Bird Flu. No one can tell when they have it. There is no risk to anyone or anything we know of. Thus: International Pandemic Emergency Martial Law.
What are some of the actions? The obvious, but to run the last remaining farmers out of business, by requiring constant, expensive tests. …For a disease that doesn’t exist and has no effects. By moving the “Collectivication of Agriculture”, there are no home farmers nor required knowledge, then there is a pre-planned Holodomor and everybody dies. Same in the rest of the country as they furiously concrete up farmland for solar farms. Besides the usual Mall and Condos. I guess everyone hates food. So, so much.
“Due to factional struggles with Bukharin wing of the party, peasant resistance to the NEP under Lenin, and the need for industrialization, Joseph Stalin declared a need to extract a “tribute” or “tax” from the peasantry.[61] This idea was supported by most of the party in the 1920s.[61] The tribute collected by the party took on the form of a virtual war against the peasantry that would lead to its cultural destruction and the relegating of the countryside to essentially a colony homogenized to the urban culture of the Soviet elite.” –Wiki, Holodomor.
Sound familiar?
Tax the Rurals and the Poors in a de facto war on the Deplorables, telling them to “Get with the Program” or else. Complete annihilation of their family, culture, region, and a homogenization into one-ness directed by Urban Liberals. Check, check, and check.
Well, they’ve been running the same plan for 500 years, should be good at it by now. Okay, great: now why are we such retards we fall for it when it’s both written down, run from the top, done over and over ceaselessly at all times, and obvious as leaves on a tree? At some point I can’t hold you up. You have to do something for yourself or die.
“‘Why should we give them more money?’” Senator Durbin: “What about the media?…”
I could not agree more. You’re both totally correct: Pay Cuts All Around! As I say regularly, LOOK at the only places that have money: Government. Monopolies. From Trenton to Oakland, nothing but collapsing nation, condemned houses, where the only new, painted, functioning buildings are the School (government) Police (government) Welfare office (Government) and all their proxies: Health (government), Cell phones (government), and cable TV (government).
So when the entire nation, aside from Government – that is, the Laptop class, whether directly or as part of Government-merged monopoly – are broke and can’t pay taxes, then the parasite riding on top of them needs to tighten its belt and starve alongside.
This is essentially what FDR, Wall St Vulture Capitalist made them do, and they Coup’ed him for it immediately then later murdered him. He made the Top tighten their belt 10% with the people tightening 20% and they nearly lost their minds. Ultimately they nuked somebody over it.
The Laptop Elite are so smart they can’t understand if there’s no money coming in the door, there’s no money for paychecks. MSNBC or Brett Cooper. They’re playing out Ayn Rand where the officials and managers say “Why don’t you make me more track and railroads with no steel. I don’t see the problem here.”
Don’t make Ayn Rand right. No one likes that.

“After just a few hours of posting on X by Musk & X users, the bill was effectively killed.”
Why? They never listened to the People before. We shut down the phone lines for the bailout, nothing. We essentially rioted over lockdowns, nothing. Pretty staged or something.
“They’re already doing it, man. They can’t really officially do it yet, but they’re already making all the plans.”
Hahahahahaha! Plans! Uhhuh. And when Russia nukes us how’s that going to go? For example.
“U.S. Must Rebuild Manufacturing Base to Counter China Threat”This follows with Mish who has slowly and entirely lost his mind over the years. He’s like “Why would we do that? Theoretical capitalism says produce in the cheapest nation…” Um, because you’ll be completely helpless, bombed, destroyed, flattened, and occupied? Because if localities aren’t sovereign then the Middle Men – primarily bankers – control the Capital flows of Trade and can shut you off at will in an endless extortion racket?
Newsflash: Capitalism depends on enforcing property rights. No power, no army, no property rights. The End.“• Trump Notches Several Court Victories On Eve Of Return To The White House (JTN)
It’s still totally insane. Fani is taken out for levels of fraud that may get her disbarred, but they will not dismiss the case as a mistrial. Bragg wants to suspend a trial that has itself been suspended for a year already, for another 4-5 years so one man in NYC can control the President of 330 Million people. Hey Supreme Court, would that possibly be a violation of their voting rights? Nope! They didn’t care when Texas was disenfranchised either.
This goes WITH the USSC and the NY SC both ruling essentially against Merchan and his vigilante interference. And again MERCHAN ISN’T EVEN A JUDGE. On a case that isn’t a case. Nothing stop them which is fine with me as that means we have to arrest and imprison them all.
“The Post, hasn’t impressed the candidates with his vision for the future, the sources tell us.”
You’ve created too many problems for yourself, as the agents of Satan’s own Chaos. At the top, the owners can inject some editor, BUT THE PEOPLE won’t have it. The Reporters are all Woke AF and won’t work with, or quit, defy, buck the Editor at every turn. At the same time, the READERS will buck BOTH the Oligarch’s Editor, AND the Woke AF Reporters. The Owners are oligarchs and can’t NOT lie to the Readers, because newspapers lose money, so if you’re not telling lies for the profit of fellow Oligarchs, what’s the point, really? What is that, a 4-way bind? AND the Government is up their -ss too.
If you just had a model of telling the Truth objectively, none of this would be a problem at all. All these are self-inflicted at the service of Lies. There are whole media empires, billion dollar like Rogan, that are being built from nothing right now. There’s a huge market hunger for news. …But that’s the one thing you won’t provide. What shocks me is they could survive if they just lied LESS, like they used to. Nope.
“No other country has the capacity to resist his predictable antagonism with the same degree of strength and tenacity, and none arouses more hostility and outrage among MAGA Republicans.”
None of this is true. There’s no need to just make stuff up — we’ve got enough problems. Ex: Poll the whole nation, everyone in America thinks OUR OWN PEOPLE are the biggest threat, China barely makes the list. And it’s super easy to cut a deal with them. China knows we can’t go on with no jobs, money, or manufacturing, that’s predictable from way back and can’t be stopped, so we all know we must both transition. There’s no reason we can’t or shouldn’t; it’s all made up by pundits like this. We can have an easy, orderly transition to a new balance if we work together, which benefits all. And we will.

They don’t care. Reality doesn’t exist for them. Only their minds.
And it’s easy to stop the Oreshnik right now: they only have a few of them. Get them to waste a bunch and they’ll be back to Nukes again. Putin’s stalling. He should and I’m glad, but that means the NeoCons need to act even faster and dumber.

Don’t be ridiculous, as the EUSSR, they “took on the form of a virtual war against the peasantry that would lead to its cultural destruction and the relegating of the countryside to essentially a colony homogenized to the urban culture of the elite.”
And you say “War and destruction” like it’s a BAD thing. Destroying everything is actually a way to bring Satan’s perfect Light to earth, the Morning Star.

““The war is over and it is safe for Syrian refugees to return home.”
Huh? Sure, now that it’s HEADED BY ISIS.”I know – if it wasn’t so tragic it’d be hilarious. First we are told that we have to accept a wave of refugees from Afghanistan and other places where ISIS and their friends have taken over because to do otherwise would be to leave those poor people in the hands of inhumanly cruel Islamist head-choppers.
These days we are told that it’s essential we send the Syrians home because now that their country has been overrun by ISIS and their fellow Islamist head-choppers everything is just hunky-dory now and it’s perfectly safe there.
The hypocrisy is making my head hurt.

With over 100 people on board, the team is preparing to enact immediate changes, including staff removals and regulatory rollbacks.
I think the way Elon works in general is just like, “What can we do right now, and then what can we do next?
Let’s just focus on what we can do right now.”
So they have what’s called their ‘Day One priorities,’ and they’re just focusing and sprinting on everything they could do day one.
I think they’re going to have a lot of stuff ready for day one.They’re bringing in at least well over 100 people for the DOGE effort, and they’re going to put a few of them directly into each agency.
A lot of the transition team itself is hiring people to put into these jobs.
There’s these policy placements that are all working with DOGE and being liaisons with DOGE.
They’re going to come out of the gate with a bunch of general things—removing certain people, removing certain regulations.

“……the Biggest Scandal in America” – McCarthy
how wrong one can be
i thought America is The Biggest Scandal in America@Oroboros – I’m seeing a striking resemblance to Jar-Jar Binks – the not remotely irritating CGI character so beloved of Star Wars fandom.
Trump held a presser at Mar-a-Lago, with qus. from the audience. 1H 10 mins.
Putin held his National Yearly 4 H presser w. qus. from all over, incl. USA MSM.
Christoforou (The Duran) gives some of the highlight of that (Putin),
(I didn’t listen to the end of either of the top guys)
Putin is a better statesman than Trump imho, but that is not the point here. The point is to highlight the tremendous, gaping, difference between these two countries, with entirely different governing systems, different ‘populist’ appeals, different mechanisms of control…
For Trump, as a biz man and a show man, it is courting foreign capital, biz, biz, cutting taxes, The Wall, and so on. Putin postures as the ‘reasonable restrained’ clever, informed long-lasting ruler and defender.
Let’s hope they can after Jan 20. have some relationship which is not purely adversial.
Hopium for sure. 🙂

two business men have gathered together another one hundred citizens. this 0.00000029903 percent of the US population plans to restructure Article II of The United States. this group of citizens are not under any requirement to promote the general welfare, there is no oath of office, there is no office for them to have.
in the world of speed in the two wheeled world there is a posibility of a high speed wobble. Most commonly expressed as a “tank slapper” a high speed wobble is usually the end of that ride.
are you really telling me that a group of unelected citizens are planning to risk a high speed wobble with the executive branch and everyone thinks this is a good idea?

https://millennialwoes.substack.com/p/gay-doomWhat is it? Like every impulse from the same people, they take “A Thing” and then make it the #Opposite of “The Thing”. If it’s a man, it must have babies. If it’s a woman, it must fight. In this case, what is sort of a redemption for an alien who comes off as (his home world is) Upper Class, stuffy, British-like, unemotional, sex-avoidiant, genius, autistic, curious English intellectual, rambler-about-town. Now what is the dead #Opposite of all those things? Yup, that’s what they did for the character. Instantly. Instinctively. Furiously. With nuclear abandon.
What did we like about Terminator? Well, let’s do the #Opposite of all those things. What did we like about Star Wars or Leia? Let’s do the #Opposite of all those things. What makes the planet of Tolkien operate? Let’s do every #Opposite of those things.
Over and over and over and over. They’re telling you who they are. Are you listening?
What’s infuriating about it is, they can ONLY take somebody ELSE’S thing. And ruin it. Like, you want a story about a plucky girl who at the end of a long battle is the only one left to lead the troops, then make it. But don’t make it Tolkien’s HammerHand story of the Rohirim. If any story/plan/franchise would have worked, it’s this one. I think a team of teenagers with a steadicam could make this concept a profitable hit.
But as the comments say, they are SO F—KING INSANE they have to BOTH have Black/Gay/Women be desperately oppressed in the past AND be totally ubiquitous and powerful. BOTH have everyone in today be totally Woke AND also totally racist, sexist, and oppressive. Both. Neither. Aii.
To be entirely uncreative, to just steal somebody else’s thing and imitate it is Satan’s Bag. That’s it. Can’t create a d–n thing. They make a new thing like Beta-Ray Bill? Nope. We just have an Anti-Christ. The same thing but the total #Opposite. You are boring as f–k. Total mindless robots.
If you want those characters, MAKE THEM. I don’t care, I’m not stopping you. If you want a gay Sam Spade, make one up. JUST DON’T STEAL MINE. If you want a “Chicks in Space” odyssey, make one. I don’t care. But don’t reverse the entire mythos and canon-rules of Star Wars to do it. If you want a killer female robot, make one, like Alita Battle Angel, don’t steal the T800.
Here’s the other thing: Like WNBA, NOBODY WATCHES THEM. Nobody. WHO is going to watch the all-gurl, all Woke Avengers? Uhhhh…newsflash, your audience for Comics, Action movies, War films, Autistic-scientists-in-space is all BOYS. 99 & 44/100ths percent. And usually “White” boys, whatever that means. So making the Character Black, Gay, and Female means you HAVE NO AUDIENCE. None.
They say “This movie isn’t for you.” Okay, sold! NONE of these movies are for 95% of the population. Or me. So SOLD! I don’t watch them and never will. You win. NEITHER DO THE WOMEN. And never will. If anything, women hate this s–t more than the men do. Oh sure they’ll SAY they support it, but as actual viewers, men give it a chance and women would rather die than click it themselves.
So as none of these movies are for us, we’ll be over here reading deep profound history of the Roman Empire and its battle tactics – in Latin – and you can go broke on your own time, making US all smarter, and all YOU stupider.
Women of course make books and movies for themselves all the time and they go great, just fine. For reasons I don’t fully grasp, they seem to run an okay second, but occasionally they are Top Ten as well. But none of them are gender-swapped, borrowed, stolen, gay gurl assassin action flicks. Same as women don’t watch any basketball.
Is there nothing that can stop this?
But fine, I’ll be reading and teaching Claudius in Latin and Gaius Julius battles to others. “ferrum ferro acuitur et homo exacuit faciem amici sui.”

Yuzhmash and Oreshnik Demystified
I blew several hundred dollars on commercial satellite imageryAmerikanets
Dec 19, 2024It’s been nearly a month since the first use of the Russian “Oreshnik” system took the world completely off guard. But despite multiple angles of the strike on Dnipro, to most, it likely feels like we’re no closer to a clear picture of its capabilities than we were the night it happened. Contradictory analyses have proliferated through social and mainstream media, and it’s unclear what to believe. Various analysts have described the system as a series of “blanks” from a jerry-rigged nuclear ICBM – intended only as a warning shot – or as a new type of cluster munition where each of the 36 kinetic submunitions is roughly equivalent in power to a 250kg bomb (read my thread on this here). Some eyewitness reports of unknown credibility said the plant (or parts of it?) had been “reduced to dust.” Other Ukrainian reports said minimal or even no damage had been done.
The war is over and it is safe for Syrian refugees to return home. Is BS, as posted by Dr. D.
Who wants to ‘return’ to a country that is falling into the hands of Tal-mudic hysterical freaks, Takfiri (or, oh, oh, just Djihadist) militants, greedy US Corps (grabbing the last dregs of Syrian oil), or to the Kurdish / Turkey quarels?
Nobody.
Syrians abroad are doing all they can to stay away. Marriages will be upped fast in the EU and eslewhere, to save many ppl.
One ex from the ground. Craig Murray showing that Syrians are not returning.
Where reality is very different from what the BBC and CNN are telling you.
@Dr. D
Its trying to create cash flow in failing monopolies, nothing more nothing less, and you generate hype by making it so “controversial”. Same as software companies wanting you to pay subscriptions for what you to be a one time purchase. Also who watches and reads comic books and movies mostly? Children, gotta indoctrinate em young.
One angle not mentioned in the Turkey Takeover of “syria” is the huge number of “syrian” refugees already in Turkey and how the people of Turkey don’t like them being there and are putting pressure on Erdoğan to repatriate them back to “syria” , by force if necessary.
Get them out of Turkey is an additional subtext to the tragedy.
And also the fact that these people are not talented. They honestly think that if you just put people in stuff from all walks of life, they’ll automatically come see your thing. And lazy, coming up with new things is hard, easier to buy IP and then repackage someone elses story.

Debt limit
While I see the practicality of Trump wanting the debt limit increased to give his administration some breathing room while it gets organized and begins to function, not raising the debt limit would create a “double-bind” scenario where Congress has obligated him to spend money as directed by various laws while at the same time forbidding the same money to be spent by not authorizing it to be borrowed. Such a conundrum could be the perfect backdrop for challenging or repealing the Impoundment Act.Tboc
two business men have gathered together another one hundred citizens. this 0.00000029903 percent of the US population plans to restructure Article II of The United States. this group of citizens are not under any requirement to promote the general welfare, there is no oath of office, there is no office for them to have.Kind of. Except that I don’t see them as “restructuring Article II,” I see the as restructuring the “administrative state” which has become a behemoth that has dwarfed Article II. Perhaps, if the administrative state is trimmed, the president and his appointees can actually lead.
We’ll see. I’m certain that there will be big problems along the way. Eventually, the economy will crash out — it always does. That will create its own form of restructuring. I suppose, if nothing else, the incoming Trump administration is a big “FU” to those who have run the show for the past 4 years, and it feels good to vent some pent up righteous anger.
My hope is that Trump + team will: (1) avoid nuclear war, (2) adjust the medical industry sufficiently so that truths will come out in regarding vaccines and other problematic medicines and procedures (statins, etc.,), (3) reduce/slow the quickening march towards totalitarian control. (I don’t believe Trump + team will solve the slide towards totalitarianism…but maybe they could slow it enough that other social processes may arise that *can* reverse it?). A nice #4 would be causing some broad changes in food and water — I prefer it being done by education and transparency for the most part — when people fully understand that their food is full of poisons, they will demand changes. The government’s best role is to be the people’s proxy, rather than industry’s proxy. For this to happen agencies such as the FDA must be funded by government and FDA staff can’t come from — and return to — industry positions.
So Russia took out 4 Patriot Missile defense systems and a building housing about 3 quarters of a dozen fake “embassies” In the middle of Kiev. (They were not embassies, by the way. They were dens of spies, as are ALL “embassies” operating in the very hearts of active ware zones).
As surgical as deep brain surgery. Only ONE person killed, and that person was not an innocent bystander. They were a combatant because they were staffing an enemy spy den in an active war zone.
Message: this is a modest demonstration of what Russia can do to ANY surface structure, no matter how well defended. For deeper (underground bunker style) bunkered operations we have the Oreshnik missile system.
As a possibly informative aside, have you ever wondered how much infrastructure and staffing is required to operate a bureaucracy the size of Ukraine? Hint: many thousands of staff with many tons of equipment, and many scores of locations throughout the entire geographical area being controlled by that armed and militant bureaucracy.
A few of the less individually vital operations and various other types of distribution and control centers like telephone exchanges, power substations, warehouses and local police stations will be mostly above ground in ordinary vulnerable building. Putin just showed how safe THOSE places are.
The IMPORTANT locations, including the PERSONAL AND DEEPLY BELOVED ASSES of the decision makers who run those locations, will be in heavily protected underground bunkers.
Oreshnik just proved how safe those are, too.
I have NEVER BEFORE heard Vladimir Putin speak so frankly, unambiguously or bellicosely open in his warning. I literally wager my life that he is not bluffing in the least.
Will whoever it is running the so-called United States take Putin up on the challenge to have a 21st Century High Tech MISSILE Duel to “Fuck Around and find Out” ?
We don’t have long to wait for the answer to that one.
Nibbling in on the Crypto correction, down 33%. This is good because if it just continued up as it had been, it would have had to be a white knuckle from $150k to $90k or something. As a standard level 2 size as it recovers, it just says “Let’s continue the bull run normally” which is a run to $200k? 6 months out?
So there’s your sell warning.
Crypto “currency” is a monetary system based on nothing. LITERALLY, “no thing”. Not even a scrap of toilet paper. Even tulip mania and fiat currency are based on SOMETHING, even if the thing is as intrinsically worthless as a flower bulb or a pretty painted piece of paper. Even those aren’t as insubstantial and ephemerally transient as a bunch of electrons on their merry way to entropy.
Ya know why they call it “crypto” dontcha? It’s because its a big friggin’ total secret mystery how people could believe that it’s a trustworthy form of money.
