For me, the persistent question is the dog that didn’t bark; actually, the many dogs that stopped barking after Oct.7 – blm, antifa, riots, murders, etc. The Grand Wurlitzer went silent, as if someone feared they may have gone too far. “Shut it down!”. I’ve seen very little discussion of this; we’re so happy with the apparent streak of good luck. I saw one post that it was a concordat of some kind, between “the neo-Chabad and the Rothschild factions” of our betters’. I’ve always wondered why they couldn’t realize how they were coming off to the rest of us. Maybe they have. Meanwhile, enjoy the renaissance, however brief.

belated happy new year !

I used to have a handful of liberal friends, but the coming of the Don pretty much ended any communication with them; I don't like to argue, so I would just retreat or change the subject when confronted with TDS. The Democrats are completely out of ideas; I got a text from an old friend complaining about Trump and some policies my friend thinks should be followed. It sounds very awkward talking about real things after 8 years of lunacy. They're still not prepared for reality.

I meant to respond with something about Kamala and "price-gauging". She was not qualified, but the entire political establishment was incompetent, dems and pubs. Trump has swept them away, not because he was so great, but because they were that bad, and apparently he's going after their foot-soldiers in the government, offering buyouts. Currently, he's beating the swamp into a thin gruel and godspeed. (the stoic in me says hope for the best, prepare for the worst).

But at this point, I'd like to rub their snouts into some already accomplished miracles...

- Victory over Hillary and the destruction of the Clinton dynasty

- The destruction of the Bush dynasty

-The destruction of Kamala Harris

-The destruction of Mike Pence and the Cheney whore

-Stopping the invasion

-Sending the troops to the border and to turn  California's water back on

-Sending federal help to hurricane victims, after getting nothing from FEMA 

Can we start calling him the god-emperor again ?

Gab is Wounded; Will Survive

Gab is up for now, but its service provider and Paypal are cutting their services.  Might not be available Monday morning. Torba has survived such circumstances before, and I believe he'll be back up pretty quickly, but admitted it might be months.

I'm turning the comments back on so I can still keep in touch with my friends from Gab. If they have a website, I can put it in the links.

Trump Screwed the Pooch

Suddenly, everything else is unimportant...

Sometimes, You Bite the Bear

I was quite concerned to see Trump talking about "Red Lines" in response to the latest obvious false flag chemical weapons massacre in Syria. His skepticism of the prevailing narrative is well known, so i was quite surprised that he would so quickly seem to drop it in Assad's lap. I've seen quite a lot of commentary to the effect that he knows what he's doing, and his being several steps ahead of his opponents, playing 3-d chess, etc., but I have to confess that I was losing faith in the guy, and even Vox Day was getting a little wobbly -

http://voxday.blogspot.com/2017/04/neoconning-god-emperor.html

"At some point, Donald Trump is going to have to realize that there is a reason the neocons and their global policeman approach failed:"




Fortunately, The Conservative Treehouse has a good explanation of Trump's strategy;

" Knowing the rather extensive ground work that has already taken place, there’s no immediate reason to believe Putin and Assad do not recognize President Trump’s larger strategy."

I guess I'm just not used to a President that can be trusted. It has been nearly 30 years since we've had one that didn't totally suck. Here I go hoping again...

Bogging Light - Too much Gabbin'

Trump dodged a bullet, in my opinion, by the postponing of health care reform. The last thing he needs is his name associated with this flustercuck; It needs to stay "Obamacare" until it crashes and burns. He has enough on his plate without getting stuck to that tarbaby.

Разведка США - Limonev

"Разведка США! Разведка США !"
"Разведка США утверждает что Россия готова "подарить" США Эдварда Сноудена..."

Кто такие "разведка США" ?
Это руководители американских разведок, поназначенные Обамой за его 8 лет, и ещё не отправленные на покой господином президентом Дональдом Трампом.

Поскольку они знают что их вот-вот сместят, потому и несут ту пургу, которая им к утру приснилась.

"Worse than Crime - Blunder"

http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/nadia-savchenko-attacks-ukraines-president-killing-donbass-rebel-givi/ri18864

I'm not sure what her motivation is, I believe she is opposition to Poroshenko's party and is jockying for position in upcoming election, but she is certainly right that there was no strategic value in killing Givi, and in fact, these murders will have strengthened the resolve of the Novorussians against any spring offensive and that they will never again be part of Ukraine.

She may recognize from her own lenient treatment, and that of many Ork POWs, how accommodating RF has been to show good will under the circumstances, This would make her one of the smartest politicians in Ukraine. It is a strange but hopeful development; an outbreak of rationality from an unlikely source!

The Answer to a Boring and Empty Life

Heartbroken; that's what I get for picking sides in a fight that doesn't really concern me, and watching my guys get picked off one-by-one. Small consolation that everyone on the steppes has been in constant warfare for millenia, so they must be somewhat fatalistic and live life to the fullest, good and bad.

Watched video of Givi dancing with ptitsas after victory over Orks; thought Christian warrior/martyrs have big advantage: getting 70 virgins in THIS LIFE! 

RIP comrades, you will be revenged.

Eduard Limonov in the Land of the Blind

It seems that the older I get the less I know, This makes blogging rather difficult to the extent that one wishes to avoid "on the one hand,...on the other hand... blah blah"

Limonov avoids this very neatly by taking a strong position and sticking with it, even through beatings and jail, and where he seems to say what I'm thinking, even in rough machine-translation, I'm inclined to merely re-blog his efforts, even as I hope he is wrong, and fear he is not...


Trump, but not the same...
Two weeks after the inauguration.
Not a hundred days, but the basic trends are already clear. And they are not encouraging.
Well, hell with it, but Donald trump would not speak so long on the phone with Poroshenko. Shorter would that the Russians did not compare the duration of conversations with Poroshenko and Putin.
Ambassador to the UN has said that sanctions against Russia will be lifted only if Russia returns Crimea to Ukraine.
In the United States are well aware that the return of Crimea to Ukraine — as incredible as it is, and the return of Mexico, Northern California, for example. But demagogically claim, is another matter
Trump doesn't seem so peaceful foreign policy.
At that time, as Russia, Turkey and Iran again come together in Astana, trying to solve the problem of war in Syria, the United States under the new administration, serves not peaceful signals, and not against the Caliphate (Islamic State) but against one of the enemies of the Caliphate against Iran.
Last week, the White House suddenly held a press conference , Michael Flynn, the new national security adviser, General of the marine corps.
The whole world was expecting to see next to trump, so to speak, the "new Americans", and Michael Flynn is not like new American, but terribly reminiscent of old American. Lieutenant-General of Marines under Obama
"We officially warn Iran", — began his speech before journalists General Flynn. And cited as reasons for dissatisfaction with the US Iran — Iran tests ballistic missiles, and allegations that Iran is behind the attack of the rebels-Houthis in Yemen, on Saudi patrol boat.
Flynn cited these examples as "evidence of the destabilizing behavior of Iran in the middle East", he also stressed "the failure of the Obama administration to respond adequately to the hostile acts of Tehran".
The newly elected President did not hide his irritation with Iran, something unknown in his following statement more — the greed of the businessman, or the rage of the American imperialist
"Iran is occupying Iraq with ever increasing speed, even after the United States has spent there three billion dollars".
Trump recently indirectly supported by his national security adviser, speaking in the spirit".ofcourse line to talk about military intervention before it starts". Showed his craftiness and warned about his treachery to the middle East have lived in fear.
Now Iran has all the rights to believe that the missiles "Tomahawk" may fly to Tehran in the coming days.
The Washington Post on Thursday published an article where there are such lines: "President trump promotes power politics, which seems to be increasingly moving away from traditional diplomacy, he has concentrated decision-making in a small group of supporters who are quick promoting a new approach to the world where "America — the beginning"".
According to the "Wall Street Journal", the supporters of the trump called its policy and its methods, the policy of "shock and horror"
Externally, the new U.S. aggressiveness focused yet on Iran, but at the same time continues and the conflict policy towards China. And the plans of his associates trump not hide.
Stephen Bannon (you can also say Bannon) — comes from the American extreme right wing think tank, he was considered the ideologist of Donald trump in December of last year, immediately after the victory of trump's choice — revealed part of the card:
"The United States will enter the war in the Chinese inland sea in 5 or 10 years"....
And what?
Only frivolous Russia, and its mostly frivolous politicians, unable to believe what trump recently spoke about Russia in a more or less friendly tone
Russia trump just intends to use in its struggle with China.
Trump's attitude to Russia — only temporarily soothing, designed to ease the aggression of the United States in other places of the planet.
If Moscow does not act in the interests of the United States, it's her turn to pay for it coming soon as well.
Open your eyes, citizens!
Particularly widely, I beg you, open your eyes you, is the all — powerful solvers of our destinies.

Mr. Limonov says (Live Journal)

Donald trump is offended by all
He offended the Prime Minister of Australia — he hung up in a conversation with him. It turns out that it took Obama signed with Australia an agreement on the adoption of migrants from Australia to the United States.
Trump has offended the President of Mexico that insists on building a wall between USA and Mexico. And stated that it would impose high tariffs on Mexican goods, which will pay for the construction of the wall. That is, he will keep his promise to build a wall between the two countries at the expense of Mexico.
Trump has hurt Muslims all over the world and especially the Muslims of Iraq, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, and Yemen — that forbade them entry into the United States. While some on three, some on four months... But for this prohibition are viewed more severe measures against Muslims.
Trump has hurt the liberal intelligentsia of the United States — all the freaks of the USA, like Madonna (the alias it, think about — blasphemy!), all filthy-rich rock-n-rolldice, all Actresses and actors in Hollywood, the fabulously wealthy in this country, people are extremely unruly manners and do not want these customs to change.
Trump many offended anyone. And, it seems, even his wife Melani: she disappeared in new York with the son of the Baron and the public have not seen her since the day of inauguration, that is since January 20. The last time the winner of the husband she's unhappy, almost crying face.
"What drama lies behind her disappearance?" — thinking we are.
I do not whether the couple broke up under the heavy burden of the American presidency?
Or Melanie had deliberately removed? Leaving her husband to fulfill his military duty to elect his American red necks, quilted jackets, or the "plebs", if we can call it voter-Roman.
Maybe the Melanya generally a member of the Democratic party of the United States and therefore looked so unhappy at the inauguration of her husband a Republican?
Harsh husband is a man's job in the oval office, sitting with solemn and gloomy view of the table. Made History.
Indicative in this sense one picture. Trump sits with antediluvian handset in hand, to the antediluvian apparatus zmeitsya wire. Around, as in ancient paintings or outdated pictures, several groups deliberately located his colleagues.
Sitting in the chair, the Vice-President Mike Pence c silver hair on a young face of a boxer, just behind Advisor Stephen Bannon (similar to rocker Zharikova, group DK, the once ally of Zhirinovsky) and an attractive spokesman Sean Spicer. Complete a couple of generals in civilian clothes, one of them — marine General, Michael Flynn.
The photo looks strikingly old-fashioned, like it belongs to the time of some of Nixon.
Maybe old-fashioned proves that the us policy returned to the traditional male style of American politics?
And bill Clinton with the saxophone and with his eternal Lewinsky's twin sister (+ her blue dress) or Obama walking across the White house lawn a dancing gait of a jazz musician or a dancer — it was unconventional episodes? It was "flower children" in politics?
That may be so. Probably so.
Obama conducted the maiden city politics for Madonna and Hollywood frondiruyuschie of Actresses, huh, for all these Oscar-winning Meryl Streep ?
Let's finally see what it is.
The period of lax frivolity, superiority of Hollywood Madam and broken young hipsters, the third floor and two popes in the family, but without my mom passed.
America has covered the North heavy wind of masculinity. Manhood, if in Russian.
And no demonstration of feminists, lesbians, third gender, fourth gender, transgender, the heirs of the hippies and people from their environment, the old order will not save. Just the Story turned to their masculine side, and there came the new period of glaciation, a new ice age. And the chief of his — Donald trump.
And he sits in the oval office of the White house and with a serious face signed the decrees. Well you dream, dream of impeachment, make a bet in a bookmakers. But wipe your eyes before you sign. Here he is sitting in the oval office.
Actually, if you look, it's all our fault, we and the Caliphate.
The Caliphate challenged its ferocity, and we, the cold edge of Europe only took the call first answered him the same power ferocity, flew to the middle East and became primitive and honestly to bomb the Caliphate from the top.
Grappled with them.
All the rest bustled, meanly, shouted, screamed at forums and ceremonies, and their shrieks nothing at all against the iron foot ancient lizard — Caliphate could not help it.
And it showed the whole planet that we are responsible only to the Caliphate to a man. Well, we have found admirers and fans.
In fact, Russia is a model for trump, and President Putin — his ideal.
Although I admit to idealize the Russian strong man Putin, Donald trump could not: his mixed with the manure for it, beaten McCain with homemade, swollen from the whiskey pale faces, peck.
At the airport in new York with slogans, pretending to meet Muslim passengers, are advanced and civilized overtolerance new Yorkers. Slogans these are:
Welcome! ("Welcome!"), Love not hate! ("Love, not hatred!"). The last slogan — straight from the era of the revolution of colors: "Make love, not war!"
But no one came. And those who came were not allowed.
Trump and Putin will meet in the near future.
The whole world will be quickened beating of the heart.
Suddenly we all needed. And all of a sudden we realized.
The candidate from "just right" on the presidential elections in France, françois Fillon proposes closer ties between Germany, France and RUSSIA.
Well it is clear: trump wants to use us in their struggle with China, and Europe wants us to have on your side in the tug of war with the United States.
To quote another visit — about us:
"It is a huge country, which is not to be taken lightly... Who in their right mind to enter into conflict with Russia?"
And that is true — who ?

Young Hickory

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-04/us-ends-2016-1998-trillion-federal-debt-105464794162691

The deficit is roughly one trillion per year. The budget of the MICC is roughly the same, and is almost entirely wasted, indeed damaging to America’s actual interests. If we weren’t borrowing the money to shower on the financial, defense and bogus “security” sectors of the economy, the remainder of equities (the real economy) would be a small fraction of what we have now, and the corporations would have to provide real services to voluntary consumers.
The entirety of the war on terror is to provide an excuse to lock taxpayers into permanent, involuntary debt servitude and divert resources to the financial elite, who either (to be charitable) don’t care about the resulting death and destruction, or more likely are quite pleased with it. The twin signatures of the neocon project are that the real goals are never stated, and all the expenses fall on someone else. Hillary summed it up nicely in her remarks about public and private truths; she spilled the Straussian beans. They are liars, thieves and murderers. God willing, Trump will Andrew Jackson their fat asses.
Maybe we should call Trump Young Hickory (if he doesn't get kennedy'd)
Speaking of Old Hickory. Toqueville;
"Far from wishing to extend the Federal power, the President belongs to the party which is desirous of limiting that power to the clear and precise letter of the Constitution, and which never puts a construction upon that act favorable to the government of the Union; far from standing forth as the champion of centralization, General Jackson is the agent of the state jealousies; and he was placed in his lofty station by the passions that are most opposed to the central government. It is by perpetually flattering these passions that he maintains his station and his popularity. General Jackson is the slave of the majority: he yields to its wishes, its propensities, and its demands--say, rather, anticipates and forestalls them. (...)
General Jackson stoops to gain the favor of the majority; but when he feels that his popularity is secure, he overthrows all obstacles in the pursuit of the objects which the community approves or of those which it does not regard with jealousy. Supported by a power that his predecessors never had, he tramples on his personal enemies, whenever they cross his path, with a facility without example; he takes upon himself the responsibility of measures that no one before him would have ventured to attempt. He even treats the national representatives with a disdain approaching to insult; he puts his veto on the laws of Congress and frequently neglects even to reply to that powerful body. He is a favorite who sometimes treats his master roughly."

Housekeeping

This blog has been inactive for months, apologies to my virtual audience, my sense of irrelevance sometimes gets the better of me. Also, tablet keyboards are difficult to get used to.

A friend sends me custom Postcards from the Dead. There has been two series, the first knocking and mocking Ted Cruze, the second k&m Donald Trump. I, too, detested Ted, so I like to think that these postcards helped torpedo his career, but I don't share his opinion of Trump as a politician, so I'm countering the influence of the second series;

Trump has earned the thanks of everyone for kicking the Bush dynasty to the curb, and the presidency when he does the same for the Klinton Klan. I am unconcerned by the remote possibility that he could be worse than the last five chumps.

RNC Tips and Tricks - PT.2


http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-14/heres-how-establishment-will-steal-gop-nomination-trump
"

MAY

The Art of the Deal
There is nothing in the RNC’s rules that prohibits delegates from cutting a deal for their votes, and lawyers say it is unlikely that federal anti-corruption laws would apply to convention horse-trading. (It is not clear that even explicitly selling one’s vote for cash would be illegal.)"

Change the rules on the fly? or give up on a never-ending river of pork? It depends entirely on whether anyone cares enough to Saker these pests closely, so every move is observed.

RNC - Tips and Tricks

I stopped paying attention to the Republican party eight years ago, after seeing the many sordid ways the party smothered the Ron Paul campaign (twice!), but the I've been drawn in again by various conspiracy theories concerning Trump as Cat's Paw for a the Clinton's. My working hypothesis is that Trump was going along with this for one reason or another, and got serious when he realised that it really could be done. He may have been quite surprised by the level of enthusiasm and support, aside from the weakness of the competition.

I've been considering attending the local Republican convention to at least (again) witness the Borg in action, but the in the meanwhile, I'm going to try to gather as many links as possible to provide a good background on the mechanics of GOP skullduggery.

Doug Wead, a former RP staffer, is on top of it.

Can the RNC still steal the nomination from Trump on the first ballot?

"That’s right.  Every delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention is a completely free agent, free to vote for the candidate of their choice on every ballot at the convention in Cleveland in July. Every delegate is a Superdelegate!"

I think I will forgo the pleasure; if the delegates are not bound, there's not much advantage in electing any particular Slate. The founders warned us about "factions".

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil.” – John Adams

Not hard to imagine what they would think of today's Parties.

Power Despises a Vacuum

Ron Unz suggests intelligent people might prefer a better sort of despot, if we absolutely have to have one, and I consider the chaos of our Anarcho-tyranny effectively despotic.
Well, for years I’ve been telling people we should consider the approach taken in some European countries a few hundred years ago…
When a country was sufficiently badly managed, it would sometimes invite some foreign leader to come and assume power in order to set matters right.
It seems to me that although the American people are generally pretty good, our ruling elites are absolutely dreadful, possibly among the worst in the world. So I think we’ve certainly reached the point at which a delegation of American notables should consider traveling to Moscow and offering the American throne to Putin, suggesting that he establish a new Dual Monarchy, or perhaps a slightly different version of Jerry Pournelle’s old Co-Dominion.
Furthermore, given our own serious national infestation of worthless Oligarchs, his selection would be particularly apt, given his long and successful past experience in dealing with such greedy and troublesome individuals. Indeed, I suspect that the vast majority take flight from our shores even as Vladimir I was making his triumphal entrance into DC, much like rats immediately flee at the faintest whiff of “cat”…

Tony Abbott Threatens Peace, Sacked the Next Day

http://takimag.com/article/the_assad_approach_michael_warren_davis#axzz3ldWaW2h2
"Readers of Taki’s Magazine must be itching for a bit of good news in the midst of all the rubbish being talked about the refugee crisis in Europe. Well, here it is: Australian prime minister Tony Abbott is now the first leader of the anti-Assad coalition to admit that Western intervention in the Syrian civil war was a massive cock-up."
...and then he was replaced by a "Republican". No election necessary!

Mr Turnbull first rose to international prominence in the mid-1980s as the brash young lawyer who represented Peter Wright, a former senior British intelligence operative with MI5, who took on the British government in the famous Spycatcher case. Mr Turnbull succeeded in blocking Britain's attempts to prevent publication of Wright’s memoirs.But the case marked the beginning of a prominent career in which he made millions as an internet entrepreneur and Goldman Sachs banker before turning his attention to becoming prime minister. An MP since 2004, he is one of Australia’s wealthiest politicians and lives in Point Piper, one of the nation’s most exclusive suburbs, with his wife Lucy Turnbull, a former lord mayor of Sydney.

By Deception Shall You do War, (and commenting)

If it's not food, don't swallow it.
I’m very interested in the phenomena of “professional trolling”, especially evidence of organized campaigns. Reference to various sub-types based on methods/goals, as well as various levels of competence, leads me to wonder if there isn’t a site devoted to this phenomena. The art seems fairly advanced, but the critical response seems fragmented and unorganized. The Saker has mentioned that the current war is about 85% propaganda, 10% factual and 5% kinetic. Given the importance of the informational aspect, I’m sure that all sides devote considerable resources to the study and practice, but as in all matters of intelligence, methods and techniques are held closely and amatuers can only speculate on these things. Do you know of any open resources that regularly speak of such matters?
Lately, I’ve grown very suspicious of counter-trolling; those that engage with the diluters, often with very extensive factual and historical cut-and-paste jobs, especially on subjects that have been beaten to death (from my perspective), chiefly the holocaust and the general subject of Jewry, 9-11, and others. The subjects have been discussed at ludicrous length, nothing new is ever presented, and virtually no-one is dissuaded in their notions. I strongly suspect that 99% of this counter-narrative is in-house hasbara and the remaining 1% obsessives with greatly varying levels of knowledge and talent. Insulting Jews on Unz, especially on posts by such as Shamir, Gottfried, Mercer, Finkelstein is just so stupid and counterproductive, not to mention rude, that it’s difficult to believe that it isn’t simply bait for the unwary or damaged minds.
In the meanwhile, do not feed the trolls!

Hey, Vern! Trick or Trump?


My recollection is that Russ Verney was the brains behind Perot’s run, and that he personally dynamited Buchanan’s run when he determined that Pat was too right-wing. He also jerked support from Jesse Ventura when Jesse was getting too popular. It is my opinion that he was a Democratic Party operative all along and was also involved with the Dick Armey Libertarian fiasco, possibly with Armey’s knowing cooperation; its hard too say, but Armey may have been smarter than he’s given credit for.

The function of third parties as spoilers for one or the other “real” parties is generally unrecognized, as well as the methods of cooperation between them to crush their own reformers, for the benefit of their ostensible opposition. The Libertarian party was subverted early on to become a sink for those voters unwelcome in the mainstream, although it was seriously libertarian when it was formed.These tendencies, (as well as the propensities of candidates such as Mondale, Dukakis, Dole, McCain, and Romney to run curiously lackluster campaigns – “take a dive”, if you will), lead one to suppose that what is unseen and prior to the actual elections is determinative rather than the ass and elephant show. That’s why Justin Raimondo’s theory of Trump as false-flag candidate makes so much sense: roll up all the conservative votes for one seemingly real and serious candidate, dispose of him one way or the other e.g. Muskie crying, ” the scream”, McCain pretending (or not) to be crazy, etc. I think Trump, being a pretty smart guy is in on it, but I’m hoping he will see how desperate people are for a lifeline that he will start to buy into his own bullshit and go for it for real. I’m trying to find out if Verney is involved in any way, because he seems to be the or one of the main Machiavellian vectors of the deception circus. It’s a club and we aren’t members.
