[See the full post at: Debt Rattle September 15 2024]September 15, 2024 at 9:47 am #168969chris_geeParticipantThis is a clear discussion on tariffs capitalism etc. https://michael-hudson.com/2024/09/u-s-foreign-policy-and-economic-shifts-trump-vs-harris-debate-analysis/
September 15, 2024 at 11:28 am #168971Dr. DParticipantRitter: Oh I thought he said, who runs America? Same answer. Same death rates. 30,000/year on one means of death alone. Very probably doubled by now. “A good start”.
“The Supreme Court gave us the toolkit we need to dismantle the permanent bureaucracy.”
This is the important part. They tried more a frontal assault, since the Government, executive, works for the President, he can fire them, but they merely refused to follow any directives. All of them. While others protected themselves with treason. But strangely this other path was checked and upheld by the Supreme Court, so use that, I guess.
“• US Presidential Debate Delusion: 2 Candidates For 1 Party… The War Party (SCF)
Start a nuclear war. Declare martial law. Refuse to step down, then arrest and kill everybody. I mean, this is 101, I don’t care what political sector you come from. All governments always do this. Like I keep saying, they did it under Adams, and did it in WWI, among all the others. Goebbels has a famous quote on this.
But there’s a second part: if THEY, (WEF, Europe, Derp State, Banks) can’t print another TRILLLLLLLION dollars, like next week, they will all go bankrupt and collapse. No? Go read what Draghi just said. He said “Europe is a catastrophe, but nobody can figure out why. Since 2022, it’s a Biiiiiiiiiiig mystery! Every day since the EU was formed, it’s gotten worse. Right now Europe is in crisis, a political crisis, a social crisis, a production crisis, but also a debt crisis, WHICH IS WHY WE SHOULD BORROW $1 TRILLION IN NEW EU BONDS. …Every year for maybe 10, 20 years, and therefore give the EU full taxing authority.
There’s no cure for a debt crisis except to wildly and immediately triple the debt. For war. Thank you.” — Super Mario Draghi.
Uhhhhh, me and all Europe have so many problems with that statement it would take whole books to answer it. Fix the debt with more debt? Didn’t we all try that in ‘01 and ‘08? How did that work for everyone? We printed a $30 Trillion overnight for Covid? Did that have the benefits of which you speak? Or, hmmm, maybe caused inflation as the $30T was visibly handed to the top and every billionaire went up by billions, right Jeff? And as every instance of EU being more centralized and less democratic, production rates go down, the economy falters more, corruption increases and is exposed, and Europe spirals ever further into theft and gridlock.
WHICH AYN RAND TOLD YOU. Whyyyyy???? Are you making Ayn Rand right? Stop!!
Anyway, for the “War Party” they only thing that can save them is 1) A hot war, 2) Printing money this week for that hot war, (and also spending it on the election).
See sidebar: Powell at 5% rates. That’s a 500 year historic LOW. They say it’s too high, because: SHUT OFF FREE MONEY, SHUT OFF THE THEFT AND FASCISM. And Powell is only BARELY stopping it. He’s not even making them scream, just squeezing like a boa.
In that sense, it’s not about “Profits” as I say weekly: it’s about CONTROL. They blow a $300B company like Disney, blow all $300B into the ground for their WAR and CONTROL. And Because it’s not and never about profits, as proven by their actions, it is de facto not about “Capitalism” either. Or “Some rich guy.” They have money, more than they can ever spend; they print money FROM THIN AIR; money isn’t what they want. They want CONTROL. And to use that CONTROL to murder all of you. Like they wrote in 10,000 papers, and like always before.
Hey, is that why they’re allied and backing Nazis? Who basically wouldn’t even exist without them, just like there are none here in the ‘States without the FBI?
“Donald Trump would benefit greatly from the debacle of defeat in Ukraine.”
Yes, and I think this was all carefully timed to happen week of election (including market crash), but then things kept getting ever-complicated, and dozens of new branches popped up from the confusion, allowing them to take paths they never expected. So we have old plans running which are large cables with inertia, while young new plans are trying to pull them aside like fishing lines. Anyone’s guess what happens, as I bet even their supercomputers are starting to fail in prediction trees.
“It is fair to say that if Trump were president again, the U.S. foreign policy of warmongering would merely shift to some other region of the world.”
I think not completely, but that statement should always be added here. He’s certainly no peacenik, nor is the U.S. going to stop shoving people around and being belligerent without somebody, some event, making them stop. He alone can’t make that event. He alone can’t stop that feeling. So EXACTLY like his actions in Ukraine, the foreign policy will continue and he will ultimately be the one continuing it, allowing it. And he would have to do that because Lockheed has 5 lobbyists per Congressman, and are bribing them with their own money. That has to stop before anyone can get traction, and I’m not even sure he is morally against it, against wars and leverage, besides it being less practical and “The Deal” being easier.
“claiming he is the only one capable of preventing a global war. “You’re going to end up in World War III.”
Yes but for the reasons stated above, he can’t stop it either. Only the money can stop it. The money must be shut off, and Europe must go bankrupt. We’ll go bankrupt, mostly, 48 hours later. Gee, ha ha, hearty har har, joke’s on us. “There is no way to avoid the inevitable bust…”
“Earlier this week, Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, shed light on a possible peace proposal, suggesting it would likely involve creating a demilitarized zone around the current line of contact”
Yes, forgot to mention this. They understate it. Vance is the first person on the planet doing the OBVIOUS. The necessary: he RECOGNIZES reality. That’s it. He recognizes we can’t do s—t against Russia, it’s over. So then he what? Read that sentence again: HE’S GIVING RUSSIA EVERYTHING THEY WANT. Vance is fully surrendering in a way that the West doesn’t grasp or understand, doesn’t sound like cheese-eating surrender monkeys. But we ALWAYS lose, it’s what we’re best at, our core competency, and ALWAYS retreat in ignominy. Might as well lean into it.
What he’s saying is: Not only has Russia won the war, not only will they keep all the Donbas, no question, but ALSO that all remaining Ukraine will be Switzerland, with no army at all. (so to speak) THAT, is everything Russia said, saying “We give, Uncle” in one sentence.
Now will Russia ACCEPT it? I wouldn’t, but maybe, they’ve lost more men than we did in WWII already, and they can always come kick their -ss again later. Who would you sign with and how to enforce? If this war ends, how do you hand hypersonics to the world to blow the s–t out of every American who’s making a menace in every murdering base they can find? You know, in all the war zones Kamala says we don’t have?
““individuals affiliated”
That is, they, a Russian Media company, met a Russian once. In an interview. And are trying to “Get the message out” and “Post information” which is what media companies do for a living. See why you shouldn’t have bothered hiring every white male who was purged from NPR for his sex and skin color. They dgaf, they only PRETEND it’s about color, sex, etc, it’s about POWER and are you a Socialist. Biden arrested all the black men he could find for Lols on no cause. Not only “Blacks for Trump” but there’s a case in Florida right now, FBI showed up and said, “Do you have ANY evidence this Black group talked to Russia, at all, ever?” FBI: “Nope. We have absolutely no evidence, your honor.” That’s Biden for ya! That’s how far your skin color gets you. Like hiring, they can’t say “We are hereby confiscating all REPUBLICAN money and handing it to DEMOCRATS (Pro-war dems, ‘natch) but that’s ALL that is happening. Skin color is just the first excuse and bulls–t that came to mind and you morons bought it. If you hadn’t, they’d just keep telling lies until one worked.
“RT is one of the reasons the world has been not fully supportive of Ukraine – State Dept”
Yup! Oh, btw, same hour as “Politico” reports that everything RT was saying is actually true. Sooooo…Politco is ALSO Russian, and ALSO the reason, and ALSO needs to be shut down? The NYT reported for 10 years that Ukraine was a Nazi state. We should shut them down too?
A: Yes! Of course! That’s 1A. When everyone says exactly and only what I tell them to. “When I want your opinion, I’ll beat it out of you.”
““Trial Judge Juan Merchan has delayed sentencing until Nov. 26, but he first must rule on whether to vacate the verdict..”
• Lawfare Collapsing Amidst Harris’ Vow To Prosecute Trump (Spivak)It’s not collapsing, Trump is elected, next day judge convicts. Congress then refuses to seat a felon, No President. I guess we just have to keep Kamala on for 5-10 years while we sort this whole thing out! Shucks. Well, my work here is done…
You guys seem to be suffering under the illusion that something has to be logical and legal. Has NOTHING taught you this yet? EVERYTHING they did was illegal, always, and illegal on every level, against every law, starting with all 10 Amendments, including boarding soldiers for free in houses, and they ALWAYS knew it was illegal and against all Human Rights. Like, Murder? Hellooooooo????
What murder? What assassination? I don’t see anything. Sooo….they’ll murder everyone,but wouldn’t stretch the law. Got it.
• The West Is Ensuring Kiev’s Demise On Purpose (Amar)
That’s my guess, but also that half the people involved are working for Russia, to help Russia re-absorb Ukraine, purge it, and keep it off the table as a place to launch revolutions from in the future. Ok, whatever. We need Russia to hold up right now and if this is the price, Fatima says that’s how it goes.
“• Is the West Attempting to Destroy Kiev Demographically? (Miles)Does time exist and this is in the past?
Okay: adding something else here. As the planet tilts, the sun shuts down all electronics and therefore all modern life,(GPS tractors, harvesters, anyone?) what do you REALLY need to get? Not just to win, who cares, but to SURVIVE at all? Not end up on “The Road”? A: FOOD. That’s it. They, Europe, must have Ukraine because Europe has no food, or not enough. They also need to CONTROL the food of others. And where? The locations that are nothing now, dry, dust, rocks. Because when the Weather changes, as the last 12,000 years, previous cycle, the top food producer is LIBYA. That’s why, so long ago, they were the equal to Rome. Carthage.
Hey, just asking for a friend: have there been any rivers suddenly appearing in Libya, washing cars away and into the sea? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8_VVgoy5B8
Hey, what’s the name of that other place that was a lush green breadbasket? Sudan? Anybody drowning there as lakes suddenly refill and appear out of raw desert blowsand? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SvCzYfDxz8
Huh. That’s odd. And anywhere along the Silk Road, where China builds a city in the desert right on a spot that will be green in 10 years? HereLetMeGoogleThatForYou.com
So why do they want Ukraine again and will die for it? Why does China need to own the U.S. as a colony of iron age workers living in
hutsTiny Houses and wearing loincloths with bones in their nose? Maybe with a population of 30 million so they can’t fight and don’t eat all the food they’re exporting?““Without those resources they’re going to be in really, really big trouble.”
• Israel Exists to Help West Loot, Dominate Middle East (Miles)Uh, yeah, Israel will cease to exist. Past tense. And like France shut off in Africa, the money flows also stop. But that’s okay, the American people, maybe even the American government, weren’t getting them anyway. K-pop was, and they’re mostly in Europe.
““The abortion issue was created by a liberal US Supreme Court that declared a right that does not exist in the US Constitution..”
Kind of. There’s a lot of ways to look at this issue where it might or might not make sense. However, Roe was always illogical, unconstitutional trash that makes no sense. You can murder people because: privacy? Yeah, every murderer says that. They never address the basic issue, but which also they can’t, since it’s spiritual and not scientific: “What makes something ‘alive’”? When does the soul vest in the body? No one knows d—k about this, so just admit it, will ya? Stop lying with every disingenuine breath. For example, that we don’t treat 1 month miscarriages as infanticide, “real” deaths (although from their effects maybe we should), and also no one on the Pro-life side right now thinks anything they’re accused of. Every law written in every state has every exception anyone would ask for: rape, incest, medical, etc, all of it. But lying just FEELS. SO. GOOD!!! How else will I have moral leave to HATE??? And without HATE, is life even worth living?
PCR’s point here, like everything with Roe, Roe sucked, was always illegal, but “They just said.” They Made it Up! Handing it to Congress as merely “Legislative” (it may not be), the Democrats then refused to Legislate for 50 years in a row! Even now, the USSC ruling says, “Go ahead and legislate. Done.” It’s been years, they didn’t, didn’t even try. Yet THIS is their platform. Why bother talking? Is it really even worth ruling on something unless you can do it illegally, crookedly, and wrong? Like Gun rights: Pass a d—ned Amendment! If you want it: pass it. The. End. It won’t change your “Natural Rights” from your “Creator” but it will make it illegal under U.S. Federal law. So Pass it. NOPE! Not even worth doing unless you can do it illegally and weaselly.
PCR’s next statement is same as mine: So? So the States pass the law you want, or the Feds pass the law you want. IDGAF. It’s “the Law” either way: what are you talking about? Who cares? If the law is passed does it matter where?
Yes. And to them but only BECAUSE it’s illegal. As he states the POINT is for it to be INCREDIBLY illegal, as that give le plus mostest power to the Federales. Who NEVER HAD TO PASS A LAW. They just get up one Tuesday, and MAKE S—T UP. THAT is the true power and method they want. And also need, because if they actually had to get consent, the People would never give it. “The Law is in my mouth.” Or really, it’s in my MIND and I’m going to make you GUESS what I want, and beat you if you guess wrong.

How did they GET that video?September 15, 2024 at 1:29 pm #168982Dr. DParticipantIn Hudson/Wolfe article:
“We never talk about capitalism as a problem. It’s as if we don’t have a specific economic system, and nothing about that system is up for debate. Critics joke that we have two pro-capitalist parties, and they’re right. There’s no criticism or discussion of the economic system itself.”
Uhhhhh, whut? The “Joke” is we have two Capitalist parties? What the non-joke? That we’re SUPPOSED to have one, or maybe two Socialist parties? That that is the real, honest, reasonable position? The one we all agree is normal? And it’s the same as his previous sentence: Capitalism is the problem. Period. We must stop all VOLUNTARY exchange, by shooting people, and getting in the middle of every transaction. You know, to make sure you did it correctly, you evil, despicable, conniving fiend. So if everyone in the nation is despicable, deplorable, self-serving maniac, WHO are you going to pick to be in the middle of EVERY transaction, to Judge EVERY human thought? Well ME, of course! I went to SKOOL, and totally won’t be the first against the wall when the Revolution comes.
WE are all the “Better Men” because WE were merely born, of course! We are practically perfect in every way and you all couldn’t live a single minute without Mommy helicoptering in and ordering you around every moment.
And that leave to the last sentence: Golly, you’re right: NOBODY EVER criticizes the economic system. Nobody. From any side. I literally never hear anybody say “Capitalism caused this” and that “The system is crooked”. Nope! Never heard it once, ever! Not from Millennials about hourly, 8 times a day, and not from the Right side either! Nope. The right totally never complains about corruption, not about taxes, not about intervention, regulation, not about the welfare state, nope, never a single criticism at all! Nevah!
And certainly not so many criticisms that there’s a whole INDUSTRY of it, and guys like…Hmmmm…Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Hudson…are on the radio, “Criticizing the economic system”, every week for 25 years, 1,300 times in a row. Nope, this is the VERY FIRST TIME Hudson has ever spoken on the economy and doesn’t have a website discussing it with thousands of subscribers at all!
Yeah, that TOTALLY makes me entirely confident in all their other statements in this interview.
“It’s a hysterical refusal to even ask questions, to admit that there might be something within the capitalist system—whether it’s the profit maximization rule in investment or the structure where a tiny group in every workplace makes all the decisions on production and profits.
This hysteria doesn’t show up as yelling or screaming, though we’re getting closer to that. Instead, it manifests in an unspoken agreement to treat certain topics as taboo—whether it’s sex, religion, or capitalism—and never discuss them.”Yeah, I don’t hear this daily from Millennials and younger that Capitalism is the problem, like every day. Unbidden,. In every Millennial meme. In EVERY tiktok video. In EVERY campaign, every AOC update, evey movie and every show. ‘Cause “taboo.” WTF is a “Taboo”? We’re talking about women who take their pants off in the airport, then post online about the crimes they had and all the sex acts they committed DURING a divorce trial. Taboo isn’t …well, you fill in the blanks… it’s when you wear a Red Hat after Labor Day.
“The closest the debate got to mentioning these taboos was when Trump called Kamala a Marxist and referred to her father’s Marxism. I thought she handled it well, rolling her eyes and brushing it off, as did everyone else. The comment was inappropriate and garnered no interest. Honestly, I’m glad it didn’t go further. It would have led nowhere productive, but it was a clear signal: discussions about capitalism and Marxism are out of bounds”
Yes, we know this is totally not happening because Kamala says right in that ad above that she’s going after all the capital, going after all the companies, and controlling them, nationalizing them. As does everyone else in California, HAVE done, past tense, there and elsewhere, and SAY they will do in every Blue zone as they ARE DOING it on national TV, to, for example, Trump Inc, and also setting up State-run grocery stores in Chicago, while nationalizing and funding say, Intel, ‘cuz Amazon already took $100 Bil and is flush right now.
But it isn’t happening, because WHEN it’s happening, every day, and controlling/confiscating all the corporations and assets, that’s not Socialism, it’s an accident. Except that Kamala, AOC, etc all SAY it’s Socialism while they do it and all the Millennials SAY it’s Socialism, so please do more of this “Socialism” for us, you “Socialist (democratic) candidates. …But they’re all mistaken. The actions aren’t the actions, and the statements aren’t the statements. They’re…
Hand waving. Not drowning.
…Something else. Insert explanation here.
“[Viz, Tariffs] What Trump has focused on most is steel, and it’s worth discussing because it highlights how self-destructive American foreign policy can be.”
Wow, the nation is screwing the Capitalists. That’s odd. And 100% tariffs are “Capitalism”. Yup. Do these guys never talk to a single human who challenges them, questions them? Ever? In the last 25 years? Oh wait, that’s right: Nobody’s ever talked about “Capitalism” or the economy before! Including them! Problem solved.
Okay, well, now that they ARE talking about it, let’s hear what their good ideas are:
“In the 19th century, American protectionists developed a strategy to strengthen the nation’s industrial base, a policy known as the American School of political economy. The logic was simple: import raw materials, and use those materials to produce high-value finished goods, because that’s where the real economic value lies—both in technology and in higher-wage jobs.
America’s strategy, like Britain’s before it, should have been to convince other countries to produce the raw materials and send them to us, allowing American industries to thrive by creating finished products. This concept, based on the comparative advantage theory developed by David Ricardo, assumes everyone benefits from such a division of labor. But instead, raising tariffs on steel increases costs for industries that use steel to manufacture complex, high-value goods like machinery, airplanes, and vehicles, ultimately making American products less competitive on the global market.
Trump’s attempt to raise steel tariffs to court labor union votes in the steel industry might help him politically, but it’s one of the most anti-industrial policies imaginable.”So…because this worked fantastically well, everywhere and when it’s been tried, and although the profits weren’t equal it made the American worker fabulously rich, having only one job per house, and two cars in the driveway, going to college for $2,000, that’s why it’s totally stupid and doesn’t work at all. Yup. That’s what he just said. Things that work, that provably worked, don’t work. HISTORY! Read it daily. QED, I rest my case.
NO. YOU MORON. It will bring the steel jobs BACK to the United States. So that Americans are EMPLOYED, are producing, and paying taxes. People “Doing Work” – and work now under their own control – is “Anti-Industrial” in the le plus highest extreme. Doing work = Anti-Industry. Doing NO work = Super DoublePlus Good Industry. That’s just common sense. No this is not a parody. He is literally saying this. Over and over.
“This is the essence of a self-destructive policy. As Richard pointed out, nobody wants to raise these issues because they expose how U.S. electoral politics are damaging the economy. American foreign policy doesn’t consider the full effects of these decisions, nor the inevitable blowback on U.S. industry.”
Huh. Nobody raises this which is why you are and I hear about it daily. That’s also like we’re NOT a Capitalist society again, nor run by Capitalists, who wouldn’t cut their own throats, would they? Sounds like GOVERNMENT is deciding things to DESTROY Capitalism and Capitalists. Explain?
“For nearly a decade, tariffs have been a central part of Trump’s approach, as if he discovered them like a child playing with a new toy in a sandbox. He throws tariffs around without understanding them. He continues to claim that tariffs are paid for by China, but in reality, the tariff is a tax paid by American importers—the businesses that bring foreign goods into the U.S.
This is a key point: a tariff is essentially a tax, and yet Republicans, the self-proclaimed party of low taxes, have made tariffs a cornerstone of their economic strategy.” –WolfeUm, first sentence? Bad man what the what? He used a policy everybody always knew about and always used always, but when Trump uses the same policy – I – use, it’s stupid, childish, and wrong. CANADA is using 100% tariffs on China, one paragraph above. So Trudeau “discovered them like a child playing with a new toy in a sandbox. He throws tariffs around without understanding them”? Ursula does? Scholz? They’re doing this. China sure TF does it to us!
No, you’re MAKING S—T UP. AFTER MAKING S—T UP about Trump. “I’m Richard Wolfe, and I Make S—t Up!” Just lie. Invent it. Talk about fantasy worlds that don’t exist and never have. All day. That’s my job!No. Trump and the Republicans say IT WILL EMPLOY AMERICANS. Don’t just “Make s—t up, strawman.” Try a little harder! They suck, why not pick on things they ACTUALLY say and think? ‘Cause: open mouth, lie fall out. READING takes actual time, WAY too busy to keep up with the Truth when making things up with each sentence is so much easier.
“Meanwhile, Elon Musk can benefit from these tariffs. With a “friend in the White House,” he can sell his Tesla truck for $55,000, still more expensive than the Chinese vehicle, but cheaper than the tariffed version. Americans will be forced to buy his truck for $55,000, while their competitors abroad pay $30,000 for an equivalent vehicle. This scenario destroys U.S. competitiveness because American businesses are burdened with higher costs.”
Correct. Is that Capitalism? Then also, we get “Competitiveness” by having no Tesla at all! No jobs at all! Yes!!! That’s how we fight for the Proletariat, the working man, and care about him in our Glorious Revolution! NO industry = best industry. No industry = best country of all!!
“What’s happening to Americans now is similar to what’s going on in Europe—they can’t get cheap energy, and we can’t get cheap Chinese goods. If the U.S. wanted to avoid this situation, it would have had to stop China’s development 35 years ago. But now, it’s too late.”
So doing a good thing is good. But eventually doing The Good and Right thing™ is stupid. You should just give up and surrender instead. Don’t do the right thing. Just die instead.
“This old argument is based on the idea that, if you’re developing a new industry—one that’s just getting started and surrounded by tough competitors—tariffs might be necessary for a while. They give the industry time to get up to speed, grow production, and eventually compete in the market. But this is understood to be a short-term solution, only valid under specific conditions. The problem we face now is that the U.S. isn’t dealing with an infant industry; it’s dealing with a dying one, at the end of its life cycle.”
Is it? Isn’t the definition of a “Cycle” a wheel, where birth>death? That is, at the death the new is born? So if we’re at the Death point, we’re at the Birth point, because for people who make s—t up and can’t define anything, what he really means is a SMALL industry – which we have. But that would ruin his argument to admit reality. And is life really worth living if you can’t hate? Give up? Despair? Make pointless, symbolic actions? Live in an expensive apartment paid for by making idiotic parasitic speaking engagements and books of this caliber? Commanding the working guy to a
lifedeath of poverty ’cause, Oh well, too late.“These policies—justified by isolating China—are actually isolating the United States. We’re cutting ourselves off.”
Yes. We are. And Yes, the whole Republican base knows it, because THEY are the workers, the Proletariat that-we-always-know-better-than. The POINT is that 1) We need jobs and 2) we are utterly ruined and helpless as a nation, unable to field a SHIP to resupply ourselves in a WAR. Somehow Cleetus can grasp this but Harvard economists can’t.
Other examples, also laughably dismissed by Wolfe as well:
“I sit with people I admire, people who are my friends, but they seriously believe that a country of 330 million people is somehow endangered by 10 to 15 million undocumented Central Americans—among the poorest people in the world—arriving and asking for one thing: a job. That’s it. They’re not here to take over or eat your pets. But this avoidance of reality is what happens when people can’t confront the actual issues.”
Hmmm. Actual issues? From people who deny actual reported reality, regardless of your interpretation or solution of them. Nor have Americans been shy about WHY they oppose these facts. It’s not that they’re immigrants, nor even that they eat ducks. Go ask, I’ll wait. But the guy in Springfield and also in Chicago said, all the black people can’t get services and help because the illegals were taking them all. This is BEFORE they call the police in Chicago on a literal murderer, and CPD says “We can’t arrest him for murder: this is a Sanctuary City!” Murder is totally legal now, so long as you’re a visitor. Like the Rape Safaris on the Rez. The is the “One thing” they’re asking for: to rob, rape, and murder at will, while you sit around and be willing targets. This “Take over” is literally DNC campaign platform for four years. That White people are dead, on their way out, and the world will be at peace only when brown people take everything and displace them.

His conclusion?
“Is it better to have Kamala Harris in office? In my judgment, yes. I agree with her on abortion and on many other issues. But I can’t agree with the man she debated—he’s frightening in what he represents, regardless of what he says. “
Didn’t know abortion was an economic issue, but, we ALSO don’t believe men based on things they say: that’s why we have debates! To NOT listen to them. That’s the whole reason amirite? I listen, then assume everything said wasn’t said. We also know exactly what he represents and intends, but never by his words, only by the words of his adversaries. Totally normal. This is the fair, judicious, measuring of facts we come to expect from experts and authorities. Totally listen to them, every day, although according to them, they’re actually not talking. Not about the government, nor the economy. It’s the Invisible Man gambit! You can’t see me! I covered my eyes!

Military Watch Magazine Editorial Staff
September-15th-2024A ballistic missile strike launched from Yemen by Ansurullah Coalition forces in the early hours of September 15 was reported by Yemeni sources to have struck a power station in central Israel, causing serious damage. Israeli reports claimed that the missile fell in an open area and caused only minor damage to a train station, but that interceptors were fired at the incoming missile and failed to intercept it. Ansurullah Coalition forces reported that the strike involved “a new hypersonic ballistic missile,” which was able to hit its target. “The enemy’s defence systems failed to intercept and confront [the missile]. It crossed a distance of 2,040km in eleven and a half minutes, and caused a state of fear and panic” in Israel, the statement added. It was further stated that “the Israeli enemy should expect more strikes and specific operations” in the lead up to the anniversary of the outbreak of open hostilities between Israeli and Palestinian Gazan forces on October 7, 2023. Expanded Yemeni strikes are expected to result in escalated Israeli efforts to strike targets in the Arab country, in parallel to ongoing air campaigns against Gaza, Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, and government forces in neighbouring Syria.

Pepe Escobar, From 11 September to 7 October: The fake ‘War on Terror’ collapses
For years, the US executed Israel’s regional destabilization program using phantom terrorists as justification for the ‘War on Terror.’ But 7 October 2023 killed Washington’s never-ending war project – with a flip of the switch, US adversaries have now turned the ‘Long War’ on Israel.
The events of 11 September 2001 were intended to impose and enshrine a new Exceptionalist paradigm on the young 21st century. History, though, ruled otherwise.
Cast as an attack on the US Homeland, 11 September 2001, immediately generated the Global War on Terror (GWOT), launched at 11 pm on the same day. Initially christened “The Long War” by the Pentagon, the term was later sanitized by the administration of Barack Obama as “Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO).”
The US-manufactured War on Terror spent a notoriously un-trackable eight trillion dollars defeating a phantom enemy, killed over half a million people – overwhelmingly Muslims – and branched out into illegal wars against seven Muslim-majority states. All of this was relentlessly justified on “humanitarian grounds” and allegedly supported by the “international community” – before that term, too, was renamed as the “rules-based international order.”…
..US General Wesley Clark’s notorious revelation of a secret Cheney regime plot to destroy seven major Islamic countries over five years, from Iraq, Syria, and Libya all the way to Iran, showed us that the planning had already been done in advance. These targeted nations had one thing in common: they were resolute enemies of the occupation state and firm supporters of Palestinian rights.
The sweet deal, from Tel Aviv’s perspective, was that the War on Terror would have the US and its western allies fighting all these serial Israeli-profiting wars on behalf of “civilization” and against the “barbarians.” The Israelis couldn’t have been more happy or smug about the direction this was going…
..But a false narrative construct cannot hold out forever. Three years ago, on the 20th anniversary of the Twin Towers collapsing and the onset of the War on Terror, we witnessed a great unraveling in the intersection of Central and South Asia: the Taliban were back in power, celebrating their victory over the Hegemon in a discombobulated Forever War.
By then, the “seven countries in five years” obsession – aiming to forge a “New Middle East” – was being derailed across the spectrum. Syria was the turning point, though some would argue that the tea leaves were already cast when the Lebanese resistance defeated Israel in 2000, then again in 2006.
But smashing independent Syria would have paved the way for the Hegemon – and Israel’s – Holy Grail: regime change in Iran.
US occupation forces entered Syria in late 2014 under the pretext of fighting “terror.” That was Obama’s OCO in action. In reality, though, Washington was using two key terror outfits – Daesh, aka ISIL, aka ISIS, and Al Qaeda, aka Jabhat al-Nusra, aka Hayat Tahrir al-Sham – to try to destroy Damascus…
..As much as Israel profited from events after 11 September, Tel Aviv’s actions after 7 October rapidly accelerated its unraveling. Today, amidst massive Global Majority condemnation of Israel’s Gaza genocide, the occupation state stands as a pariah – tainting its allies and exposing the Hegemon’s hypocrisy with each passing day…
..In the end, all the combined sound and fury of 11 September, the War on Terror, Long War, Operation This-And-That over two decades, metastasized into exactly what “Zbig” feared. Not only has a mere “challenger” emerged, but a full-fledged Russia–China strategic partnership that is setting a new tone for Eurasia.
Suddenly, Washington has forgotten all about terrorism. This is the real “enemy” – now considered the top two US “strategic threats.” Not Al-Qaeda and its many incarnations, a flimsy figment of the CIA’s imagination, rehabilitated and sanitized in the previous decade as those mythical “moderate rebels” in Syria.
What’s even more eerie is that the conceptually nonsensical War on Terror forged by the neocons immediately after 11 September is now morphing into a war of terror (italics mine), embodying the desperate Hail Mary pass by the CIA and MI6 to “confront Russian aggression” in Ukraine.
And that’s bound to be metastasized into the Sinophobia swamp because those same western intelligence agencies consider the rise of China to be “the greatest geopolitical and intelligence challenge” of the 21st century.
The War on Terror has been debunked; it is now dead. But get ready for serial wars of terror by a Hegemon unaccustomed to not owning the narrative, the seas, and the ground. https://thecradle.co/articles/from-11-september-to-7-october-the-fake-war-on-terror-collapsesIsrael Exists to Help West Loot, Dominate Middle East – Analyst
Although modern defenders of Israel justify its existence under the pretense of “Jewish self-determination” or “decolonization,” the state’s ideological forebears clearly articulated Zionism as a colonial project.
Issued by the British government in 1917, the Balfour Declaration is often considered to mark the beginning of Western support for the establishment of the modern state of Israel.
The pronouncement, notorious among Palestinians and their supporters, committed the United Kingdom to the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in the Levant. Some Zionists viewed the creation of Israel as a progressive act necessary to combat rising prejudice in Europe, but historians have pointed out the nakedly antisemitic motivations of Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour, who sought to appease a British public wary of rising Jewish immigration to the UK. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240913/israel-exists-to-help-west-loot-dominate-middle-east–analyst-1120130235.html Netanyahu asks for criminal probe into himself to evade ICC warrant

On Friday, Harris gave her first interview since last week’s debate – this time, instead of going with a major news network, she sat down with an ABC News affiliate in Philadelphia.
Despite several softball questions, Harris had absolutely no answer when reporter Brian Taft asked he about “one or two specific things” she’d do as president when it comes to “bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people.”
“Well, I’ll start with this,” Harris began. “I grew up a middle-class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. She was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager. I grew up in a community of hardworking people. You know, construction workers and nurses and teachers. I try to explain to some people who might not have had the same experience, but a lot of people will relate to this.”
She then kept going… https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-kamala-harris-gives-trainwreck-answer-simple-question Russia & The West Are Engaged In Political Choreography Over Ukraine’s Use Of Long-Range Weapons
Putin warned last week that letting Ukraine use Western long-range weapons to strike deep inside of Russia “will mean that NATO countries, the United States, and European countries are parties to the war in Ukraine. This will mean their direct involvement in the conflict, and it will clearly change the very essence, the very nature of the conflict dramatically. This will mean that NATO countries – the United States and European countries – are at war with Russia.”
He preceded his words by reminding everyone that “the Ukrainian army is not capable of using cutting-edge high-precision long-range systems supplied by the West. They cannot do that. These weapons are impossible to employ without intelligence data from satellites which Ukraine does not have. This can only be done using the European Union’s satellites, or US satellites – in general, NATO satellites…(and) only NATO military personnel can assign flight missions to these missile systems.”…
..Although the risk of World War III breaking out by miscalculation continues to grow as a result of these irresponsible Western escalations, it’s unlikely that Putin will radically respond by authorizing his forces to hit targets inside of NATO, let alone launch a nuclear first strike... [uh, how unlikely, sir?]
..Putin’s political choreography can be seen as an attempt to pressure Kiev into complying with his ceasefire precondition from this summer by withdrawing from all the territory that Moscow claims as its own. If that fails and he doesn’t ramp up bombing, then the secondary motive might be to prepare his people for another round of mobilization. By describing NATO as being in a state of war with Russia, he might also be hinting that he’ll curtail resource exports to it.
As for the West’s political choreography, it appears to be yet another example of “boiling the frog” by gradually crossing every one of Russia’s so-called “red lines”. This helps manage Western public opinion given the unprecedented nature of this proxy war and give Russia the time to prepare for the next escalation so that it’s not caught totally off guard and thus considers “overreacting” like some hawks have wanted...
..Seeing as how their specialists would be handling pretty much everything connected to these long-range missiles, the fact that this hasn’t happened earlier speaks to their decisionmakers’ desire to control the escalation ladder with Russia, at least in terms of how they see it…
..Reflecting on everything, this experience should teach observers that political choreography is only for the sake of perception management since backchannels exist for rival parties to discreetly convey real threats to one another, some of which might then be reaffirmed in public for soft power purposes. Rarely is everything as clear-cut as it seems, with it almost always being the case that much more is going on behind the scenes than meets the eye. https://korybko.substack.com/p/russia-and-the-west-are-engaged-inSeptember 15, 2024 at 10:13 pm #169010John DayParticipant Russian News Stories:

September 15, 2024 at 10:15 pm #169011John DayParticipant Pepe Escobar, BRICS, the rise of China and how the Hegemon buried the concept of “security”
The first meeting of security experts/National Security Advisors under the expanded BRICS+ format at the Konstantinovsky Palace in St. Petersburg unveiled quite a few nuggets.
Let’s start with China. Foreign Minister Wang Yi proposed four BRICS-centric security initiatives. Essentially, BRICS+ – and beyond, considering further expansion – should aim at: peaceful coexistence; independence; autonomy; and true multilateralism, which implies a rejection of Exceptionalism.
At the BRICS table, the overarching theme was how member-nations should support each other despite so many challenges – mostly unleashed by you-know-who…
..Meeting with Wang Yi, Putin stressed that the Russia-China strategic partnership is in favor of a just world order, a principle supported by the Global South. Wang Yi confirmed President Xi Jinping has already accepted the official Russian invitation for the BRICS summit next month in Kazan.
Putin also met with the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Ahmadian. Putin confirmed he is expecting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian for another visit to Russia, apart from the BRICS summit, to sign their new strategic partnership agreement.
Geoeconomics is key. The development of the International North South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) was confirmed as a top Russia-Iran priority...
..Shoigu for his part confirmed, “We are ready to expand cooperation between our security councils.” The deal will be signed by both Presidents soon. Moreover, Shoigu added that Iran’s entry into BRICS advances cooperation among members to form a “common and indivisible architecture of strategic security and a fair polycentric world order.”
Now compare it with the new collective West “strategy” – adopted by U.S., UK, France and Germany: another sanctions wave against Iran related to the case of Iranian missiles transferred to Russia.
Ahmed Bakhshaish Ardestani, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, confirmed early this week that Iran is sending missiles and drones to Russia as part of their defense agreements.
But the heart of the story is that these missiles are Russian anyway; they are just being produced in Iran…
..This new pan-Eurasian security system proposed by Putin was discussed in detail at the latest Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit. Putin actually stated that a “decision was made to turn the SCO regional anti-terrorist structure into a universal center tasked with responding to the entire range of security threats.”
It all started with the concept of “Greater Eurasian Partnership”, which Putin advanced in late 2015. That was refined during his annual address to the Federal Assembly last February. And then, in a meeting with key Russian diplomats in June, Putin stressed that the time was right to kickstart a comprehensive discussion of bilateral and multilateral guarantees embedded in a new vision for collective Eurasian security.
The idea, from the start, was always inclusive. Putin stressed the need to create a security architecture open to “all Eurasian countries that wish to participate”, including “European and NATO countries.”….
.As it stands, a deaf, dumb and blind Washington remains obsessed with its single-minded declared goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia…
..And that brings us to the current incandescent juncture. There are only two options ahead for the U.S. proxy war against Russia in Ukraine: an unconditional Kiev surrender, or escalation towards a NATO war against Russia.
Ryabkov has no illusions – even as he puts it quite diplomatically:
“Signals and actions that we are witnessing today are aimed towards escalation. This remark will not force us to change our course, but will create additional risks and dangers for the United States and its allies, clients and satellites, no matter where they are.”
After bombing the concept of diplomacy, the Hegemon has also bombed the concept of security. Acute dementia in U.S. Think Tankland has even reached the point of dreaming of a three-front war. And this from an “indispensable nation” whose mighty Navy has been utterly humiliated by the Houthis in the Red Sea. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/09/14/brics-rise-of-china-and-how-hegemon-buried-concept-security/Record rise in gold price indicates the beginning of (further) dollar devaluation https://en.topcor.ru/51520-rekordnyj-rost-stoimosti-zolota-govorit-o-nachavshejsja-devalvacii-dollara.html

A potential association between COVID-19 vaccination and development of Alzheimer’s disease
Results:
Findings showed an increased incidence of MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) and AD (Alzheimer’s Disease) in vaccinated individuals, particularly those receiving mRNA vaccines, within three months post-vaccination. The mRNA vaccine group exhibited a significantly higher incidence of AD (odds ratio [OR]: 1.225; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.025–1.464; P = 0.026) and MCI (OR: 2.377; CI: 1.845–3.064; P < 0.001) compared to the unvaccinated group. No significant relationship was found with vascular dementia or Parkinson’s disease.
Conclusions:
Preliminary evidence suggests a potential link between COVID-19 vaccination, particularly mRNA vaccines, and increased incidences of AD and MCI. This warrants the need for further research to elucidate the relationship between vaccine-induced immune responses and neurodegenerative processes, advocating for continuous monitoring and investigation into the vaccines’ long-term neurological impacts. https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/qjmed/hcae103/7684274

Scientists at the world-renowned Oxford University in England have just confirmed that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is “safe and effective” when used to treat COVID-19.
A study into the effectiveness of the drug against Covid was conducted by the COPCOV Collaborative Group.
The group, led by Dr. William H. K. Schilling, is part of the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) Tropical Health Network.
The study sought to better understand the safety profile of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) after multiple reports emerged during the pandemic that the antiviral drug had been successfully used to treat Covid. https://slaynews.com/news/oxford-university-study-hydroxychloroquine-safe-effective-treatment-covid/ The New Zealand data released by Barry Young can be used to prove the COVID vaccines are unsafe
It turns out it is trivial to show that the 1 year mortality from the time of the shot is batch dependent, varying by a factor of 2 or more. That’s a huge problem for the mean mortality rates to have such a huge variation. https://kirschsubstack.com/p/the-new-zealand-data-released-by New Zealand First lawmakers are insisting on an honest COVID vaccine inquiry. GAME CHANGING? We’ll see.
There really is ONE party in NZ who appears to care about the thousands of New Zealanders left with sickness and injury after (mandated) Covid injections: NEW ZEALAND FIRST (nzfirst.nz).
These lawmakers say they want to get to the truth about what happened and why, if the vaccines are so safe, there are so many “coincidences.”
The speaker is Tanya Unkovich, a New Zealand politician, representing New Zealand First as a member of parliament since the 2023 general election. She is the author of four books, and has previously worked in finance, as a life coach, and public speaker.
Wikipedia says this about Tanya:
During the campaign, she faced criticism for participating in a Nuremberg trials Telegram group that likened COVID-19 vaccines to Nazi war crimes.[8]
In other words, she not afraid to call people out. A rarity in politics today. https://kirschsubstack.com/p/new-zealand-first-lawmakers-are-insisting FDA Blew Off Scheduled Meetings With COVID Vaccine Injury Victims, Emails Show
