Whereas ex-convict is conflated with Judge.
There’s no affront to the Freedom of Speech removing Ritter or Nap (LOL) from a plane to Russia. It qualifies as a welcome respite from word salad, pressured speech and loosening of associations.
Is it already debunked that “not only Scott Ritter was pulled off that plane to St Petersburg, so was Judge Nap(olitano)”?

Tucker Carlson on Meeting Klaus Schwab & What Motivates the Ruling Class
“He’s like an elderly idiot who seems a little senile, doesn’t have any idea what he’s talking about…The closer you get, the more you realize the people running things are mediocre. Like buffoons.”
No, Mr. Carlson: the puppets under the limelight are buffoons – the puppet masters know what they’re doing (out of sight, out of mind.)

June 5, 2024 at 10:44 am #160473EoinWParticipantI’m always hearing that half the population will buy anything. Yes I see people wearing masks in June and conclude that too many people still watch the CBC. But that’s only 1% – 2%. Now is “half” it 50% exactly? How many insane actions will it take to drop to 49%? Seriously, this sounds as scientific as Climate Science.
Who cares if it’s half when the other half – with guns – continue to endure lockdowns, mandates and an illegal immigrant invasion? Might as well be 100%. Until the day the system breaks and everyone’s credit rating stops covering it up. Then you can forget 50%. If they ruin the currency and can’t even bribe their government workers then they won’t even get 5% support.
Why would anyone support chaos? Even the Baby Boomers aren’t that dumb.
June 5, 2024 at 10:50 am #160474EoinWParticipantTucker Carlson made the best point we need to remember: They don’t create anything.
They got rich and powerful by gaming the system. Being the most corrupt in a corrupt system. In their fantasies, they talk about building back better( like they talk about Ukraine winning) but they are not competent enough to do anything.
Their talent is in wrecking things, which is what they’ll do. But we all consented to this destruction of western society. We’ve been going along with it, selling out the future with endless debt, my entire life. Being irresponsible we’ll blame it all on these idiot Globalists. However this ship was always going to sink.
They are not omnipotent Gods. And we are not innocent victims.

Next he’ll be doing Russian Army exercises….IN RUSSIA! Where will it end??? (They literally did this in 2020 to this very same rhetoric)

“• Trump Calls For Supreme Court To Intervene Before Sentencing (MN)
You can tell they won’t because they have this coordinated down to the day. The PLAN. Sentencing is a day before the Nomination so the GOP can’t do anything. …Or do anything that isn’t pre PLANNED.
British expert pointed out a basic fact: All governments are ALWAYS an organized minority running over and ruling a disorganized majority. So PLANNING, coordination. Minions. So since we play the part of the herd, how do you get us up to speed in being in an ungovernable mood?
“.the Supreme Court has an obligation to review the case before the election so that the American public has resolution..”
If so, it would be nearly the greatest shock of my lifetime AND the remaining lunatics would just call the Court partisan and that they should abolish it. Also Them: We must obey everything the courts says on Roe V Wade, but NOT Dobbs, Everything about Exxon and “Corporations are People” but “Fight da Man!”.
So even IF the USSC did this, it wouldn’t be a win. They also already did NOT do this after the election, nor with Texas, in cases that are CLEARLY, Unequivocally Constitutional. Texas had all her rights removed concerning the election with the actions of other states. That could not BE more Constitutional – didn’t care. Bored already, take you and your case and pound sand right up the Republic’s cloaca.
“Spurred by the volcanic temper of their base, Republicans are now preparing to scorch the earth in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s conviction, potentially setting off a chain reaction that could fundamentally alter the American political system entirely.

“• Joe Biden’s Health Is About To Be Put To A Severe Test (Sadygzade)
Aaaaaand on the fake staged drama of taking out the OTHER candidate.
I did not know and I have to check, but should the election go to Congress, they can elect ANYONE President. Kamala, Hillary, Oprah, Taylor Swift, Kim Jong, Putin (okay not those last two) ANYONE. I mean, clearly they already have, we have Joe and “W”, but just sayin’. Again, what’s the TIMING? Comedic timing. Ohio already has to pre-nominate the nominee before he’s nominated so he’ll be nominated. WHICH DOESN’T MATTER. Not only did California prove that the DNC is a “Big Club” and has no legal requirement to uphold the candidate that wins and you voted for (Bernie) but that at the Convention, they to can nominate ANYONE. Bill Barr, Bill Burr, Wild Bill Hickock, anyone. Grusome Newsome, Michele, whatever – they don’t run the country anyway, what’s the dif?
Anyway, that’s why the timing of the Biden nomination and why it had to be so late. So they can “Select” not “Elect” and no actual morons who think we’re in an actual election go around signing names like RFK tried to do. Or Bernie. Or Stein. Or Nader. “If voted changed anything it’d be illegal.”
“I’ve come here today to do what Republicans in Congress refuse to do, secure the border.”
Pretty sure this is all staged, scripted, show?
“Not only Scott Ritter was pulled off that plane to St Petersburg, so was Judge Nap(olitano).”
I was also alarmed by the round up and pulling of passports (Rich demanded this, but now that it’s happened is still not satisfied. Like Lira, it means nothing. Lira is still a protected plant, after he was killed, and Ritter is still protected even as he’s illegally and summarily removed).
Here’s the thing though: IF Russia is about to scare the s—t out of us, like this week, and the new “Let’s bomb every city in Russia with long-range missiles and add F16s” make that likely – and remember we need WWIII and the market to crash, the currency fail under BIDEN – well then the White Hats also wouldn’t want their media heads trapped there, would they? It could be a favor for the Judge, etc. Why assume you know? You don’t.
Ritter is now property of the King. He cannot leave the manor, as his Passe’ Port serfdom papers have been revoked and he can’t even go to Tijuana or the Caymans. You know, like all free men. He can’t LEAVE the country, therefore renounce his citizenship and become, Columbian or Turkish. Like Lira. If he’s a PITA, then LET HIM LEAVE. Bon Voyage, good riddance, right? Not under fascists like Kiev and Biden. They also pulled Snowden’s passport, that’s WHY he’s in Russia, a transit country, and lived there for years with no passport at all, not knowing the language and having no work visa. Good work.
Just trying to get you to think more about the variety of implications. Especially the TIMING. Trump sentencing, Biden removal, the market needs to crash, and Russia is breaking through Kiev, all SAME WEEK. Funny ol’ world. But I am a Coincidence Theorist…
“most people fully understand that Ukraine is doomed. The only interesting question at this point in time is how much territory are they going to lose”
Oh wait: he doesn’t mean when they illegally overthrew their elected democracy and sold 9/10ths of the country and a million men to BlackRock? That’s way, way more territory lost and far more doomed than anything Russia is doing. Ohhhhhh. Right. Reality starts February 2022 and nothing ever happened before then. Like Covid!

“• People are Not Reading Your Stuff: Publisher Drops Truth Bomb at WaPo (Turley)
Because they have the Woke Mind Virus, a religion, they cannot be converted even as the paper that writes their paycheck has no paycheck to write. That’s the difference under capitalism: there’s an “Or else”. “Or else what?” Or else I won’t read your paper and you won’t have any money to keep going with it and doing your dumb stuff. Only GOVERNMENT can keep these losing enterprises, the FANGS and banking, car companies going when they lose money year after year, with ever-increasing bonuses.

No one blinked. Toppling our democracy, “Democracy’s on the Ballot” in 2024.
“.The closer you get, the more you realize the people running things are mediocre. Like buffoons.”
No, if you’re running things, you don’t WANT smart people. You want policemen who are notoriously sub IQ. It’s only in an emergency you send in someone with talent that is actually valuable as a hit man and fixer that then disappears again. But these are middle managers, the body-shield. If there is a smart man among them, they’d be fired. Jeff Sachs is now on that train: after years of being a credible and useful moron, he’s now seen that – gasp – people have been LYING to him. Oh noes! It took him a year ON THE COMMITTEE for Covid (he’s everywhere, and why? BECAUSE he believes everything like a child) to realize Dazsik, Fauci, (yes, also on the committee) were LYING to him. Or really, the LEVEL to which they are lying, the Big Lie.
Now he’s become persona non grata. Up til then he was their bestest friend. That tells you WHO is pulling his strings is fully aware of when he’s useful and when he goes ‘round the bend into intelligent. And you have to sympathize: where on earth do you find guys intelligent enough to be competent (not Blinken) yet too stupid to catch on this is a mass-murder robbery-treason, like ‘Nam? There are very, very few people that dumb, but they groom them in Harvard. Trained form birth to be very, very busy and believe anything they’re told (or they fail) – literally anything. The Maldives are under water don’t you know, along with all the polar bears. Luckily China is the world’s greenest country and stopping all that. You can fight wars with no food, no oil, no men, and no tanks. Stuff like that.
Speaking of “No one blinked” Dazsik (or someone) wrote how they would commit all those felonies to make money IN AN EMAIL, then how smart they were because they hid all the emails IN AN EMAIL. No one blinked because…apparently that’s not a felony that leads to the bodies buried of 140 other felonies….that are the bodies of 20M dead people worldwide? No? Nope, guess not! Not when it’s Republicans asking! Media reported it, Public didn’t blink either. See their problem: they need guys intellegent enough to create bio-murder, and run expansive bureaucracies, but still smart enough to know what an “Email” and a “Felony” are and not write it down with CC all the names. They’re not, but thankfully Congress is on the case and doesn’t know either.

One has to go back to quite away to find western leaders free of stupidity and ignorance, e.g., JFK, RFK, MLK. They, of course, they were murdered by stupid, ignorant people who, consequently, came to dominate in the west from the mid-century on.

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/apartment-construction-boom-ends-major-economic-impact-aheadInterest rates are too high for many projects to start. Some started projects are in trouble. Let’s discuss the ramifications
so… apartments are renting at unaffordable rates. Houses are 100% unaffordable anywhere.
ALSO if you don’t have anything but ridiculously low interest rates as opposed to just low interest rates or normal, regular interest rates, then it makes no sense to build more housing.
I’m thinking there’s some Ayn Rand quote I could find with sufficient searching that would go like: “When demand and supply no longer meet on a graph of what is happening to you, know that your society is run by cartels and monopolies unconcerned for profits – unconcerned for providing value in exchange for value – and your society is doomed”
Really? THIS is when you STOP building new housing? I was just looking at places to rent last night and it is really bad out there.
Don’t we need to build a couple new Chicagos every year just based on unlimited undocumented immigration?
I’ve heard “there was no demand for it, so we stopped it” but “There was near unlimited demand for it, so we stopped it” is a little weird.
Also our modern construction is crappy. As close to a rip off and not-housing as it can be made. Using as much underpaid illegal labor as possible.
But with all that, if the interest rates are anything but RIDICULOUSLY low, just can’t see how it is worth it to house human beings. Damn you, Capitalism!

June 5, 2024 at 3:22 pm #160506D Benton SmithParticipantLabels can be (and too often are) a stop sign for thinking. Further reasoning or thought becomes literally impossible when there is a refusal to make new distinctions between the data or things (or people!) that are contained within the “data set” which the label describes. The inaction of making no distinction between different things is, very very literally, the complete cessation of rational thought altogether. The consequences can be, and all too often are, dire.
It’s fine, harmless and useful to put names to things so that subjects can be referenced in conversation and other ways of communicating. But to mistake that name or label (Jew, for example, or American, or Russian) for the actual thing or things or people that it names is a grave grave error, and leads to death, and sometimes worse.
Committing that serious error, or encouraging others to do so, is just about the dumbest thing you could do, because not only does it cause you and others to make really stupid (and evil) mistakes, it also makes you dumber, so that the mistakes are made more often.

Do you really think that the oligarchs do not know what their money can buy? Look at Rothchilds bank, the people employed start on over one million pounds, they are all the best of the best and they make the owners the returns that they want.

They got rich and powerful by gaming the system. Being the most corrupt in a corrupt system. In their fantasies, they talk about building back better( like they talk about Ukraine winning) but they are not competent enough to do anything.
I think you will find that the top oligarchs are all, absolutely all, trust fund kids. Their families have been handing down cash for a few generations by now, they have no idea how their fortunes were created.
Sure, they do not create anything, they could never create anything, their business interests are run by a private company that employs managers etc who recruit people who ensure that their cash grows and that they don’t miss the next big opportunity. They get reports and someone explains those reports to them, whether they understand the reports is anyone’s guess.
Fuck, even Rupert Murdoch, the 90 year old fossil, is a trust fund kid, he didn’t create anything, his daddy did it all.

When in hotel, for me the “Shark tank” would be the choice when the TV is on. People with even the most lame invention were more lively to me than “panel” of moneyed assholes who were making the process as a soft version of “longest dance contest” during the Depression era, being forced to go through insulting loops in order to promote the product.June 5, 2024 at 4:24 pm #160510tbocParticipantin the event Senator Kennedy’s eight million number is accurate that represents 0.023% (8/350) of the population of the United States. I guess that is meaningful when one considers we are governed by 0.1% of the population as the Occupy Wall Street movement claimed.
the ones who don’t buy the climate crisis buy the immigration crisis and the antithesis applies
“there are lies, damned lies and statistics” Clemmonsthe immigration is fueling a large growth in personal debt. Find a yard with four brand new pickup trucks and you have very likely found a home occupied by immigrants. The spice must flow. At least someone is working. As the housing industry goes into decline the delinquency rate in the automotive market will increase with the mirrored trajectory of the housing decline. One of my favorite short novels is Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me. Mucho Maas and the paregoric Pall Malls was fun to read. Describing my life using the name of a novel no one had read was always fun. C’mon man, join the fun.
June 5, 2024 at 4:29 pm #160511D Benton SmithParticipantDo you really think that the oligarchs do not know what their money can buy? Look at Rothchilds bank, the people employed start on over one million pounds, they are all the best of the best and they make the owners the returns that they want.”
No, Mr Aspnaz, the oligarchs did not get the very best. They got the very worst, and it’s showing. How’s Israel, Ukraine, The US dollar, WEF and the Democrat Party doing right now? [Hint: they should, but won’t/can’t get out while the gettin’ is still good.]
June 5, 2024 at 4:43 pm #160512jb-hbParticipant“At least someone is working.”
The particular “someones” working is exactly the point — Tax-free AND undercutting the working poor, driving down their wages.
WHILE ALSO competing with the working poor for housing, education, medical care, food, etc with government subsidies
Working poor competing with people subsidized by the taxes they pay, the debt they are put on the hook for, and the money printer
we’re so glad “someone” is working, but that someone we are glad about is never the working poor. Always someone else.
June 5, 2024 at 5:46 pm #160514D Benton SmithParticipantBoy, do those bastards want war. They want it so bad, and are yammering for it so fervently that people are starting to notice. I mean, how crazy is it to hype the risk of global nuclear war to this fever pitch, and then double-down the tough talk when challenged by pretty much anyone? A war in which they themselves would, for certain, be reduced to profound poverty, dead meat or worse.
The more that slightly (at least) saner people look at these powerful Hell mongers askance, then the louder the Hell mongers scream and the crazier they are seen to be.
They have already fled from all of those places where it has already become too physically dangerous to reside (No Democrats, Hedge Fund Managers or Main Stream Media Hosts moving to Moscow, Bejing, Iran or Israel any time soon I think.)
As they retreat (or are uncermoniously thrown out) from these places where they will never be allowed to return they grow smaller, weaker and louder. And the gaps the absolutely enormous gaps they leave behind their departure are being filled by people who will never trust them again. The ridiculous lies and threats grow more grotesque and more absurdly impossible to actually DO, as their capacity to actually deliver any of the big promises grows smaller and smaller and smaller.
Robot overlords under every bed? Storm Troopers kicking down every door? All the boys turned into girls? Another jab in every arm? How about beating the combined forces of Russia and China in a land war anywhere? Get real.
The dollar is aboard the Titan submersible on it’s way to meet Davy Jones, the Police can’t arrest shoplifters drug addicts or wetbacks, and practically NOBODY is gonna let themselves or their kids get vaxxed for ANYTHING after what happened last time (no matter how much they are forced to pretend otherwise to anyone they don’t trust with their lives. QUIET disobedience.). Transgenders? How big of a medical Chop Shop would it take to do that to a BILLION children (and that number is growing constantly at a rate of over 1,600 per HOUR of new arrivals).
The ensuing chaos is already going hocky stick, and as chaos grows things break. As things break the capability of doing any of those grandiose crimes against humanity gets smaller at a compoundingly exponential rate and so on until the whole Satanic apparatus just goes “clank!” and isn’t capable of doing any gawd damned thing at all.
You already see it. Disengage with them. They’ll be finished removing themselves (one way or another) real soon now. Let them. Warn them first, of course, because they are us (under somewhat more morally challenging circumstances), and save those that you can. But let the rest of ’em just get on with it, because that’s what they’re gonna do anyway. Just don’t join them.
