Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review Nov 8, 2022
To be sure there is an election coming up today in the United States and President Joe Biden has clearly taken the low road in the lead up to it by speaking before friendly audiences and repeating over and over the bromides that cause the brain to go numb. During the past week it was all about saving “American democracy” from the MAGA barbarians. And Democracy is, inevitably, tied to the Democratic Party etymologically, which, in a sense, makes it the presumed sole possessor of the right stuff when it comes to delivering freedom to all, including most recently a truly delusional pledge by Biden to “free Iran.”
The problem for the president is that Bidenspeak is being seen by some as devoid of content, choosing to skip over any discussion of the actual policies that have benefitted or harmed the American people over the past two years. That omission is convenient as many voters look around and see high inflation, a struggling economy, surging crime rates and an open border that may have produced, according to Tucker Carlson, a tidal wave of as many as five million illegal immigrants in the country. And, of course, there is also the war threatening to go nuclear over the Russian intervention in Ukraine, a conflict that threatens no American interest but which nevertheless has been elevated into a genuine saga of good versus evil through the combined efforts of the US and British governments ably assisted by the western mainstream media.
And it has become a real war, thanks to the joint UK-US bombing of one of the Nord Stream pipelines that connect Russia to northern Europe. Washington has warned repeatedly that it would take steps to shut down the pipeline, which it regards as a security threat in that it makes Europe dependent on Russia for energy, and it appears that the plucky Brits did the dirty work. Britain’s then Foreign Minister Liz Truss reportedly texted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken immediately after the pipeline blew up, telling him “It’s done!” Neither Truss nor Blinken were apparently aware that Russian intelligence had penetrated the security on the connection and recorded the communication.
And, of course, it is all about Ukraine even if the ultimate objective by the US is to weaken Russia militarily while also removing President Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has emerged as some kind of puppet master in his control of the White House, the US Congress and the mainstream media, drawing an estimated 60 billion dollars in economic and military aid from the US Treasury and also committing Washington to support his country until it “wins” against Putin. Zelensky, whose middle name must be Svengali, reportedly was involved recently in a phone call with Biden in which the US president expressed frustration over Zelensky’s frequently repeated demands for more money and weapons. Biden vented and even shouted but Zelensky wound up with the cash, some of which will certainly go to support the Ukrainian president’s various real estate holdings in Israel and Florida.
And then there is the “dirty bomb” story making the rounds. It has two components. First is the technology of a dirty bomb itself, which is a high explosive device that is seeded with radioactive waste that is lethal and contaminates a large area when it is detonated. A dirty bomb is considered a weapon of mass destruction and its use is categorized as a war crime, much like using a chemical or biological weapon. Second, there is the false flag aspect to the tale that is circulating. The Russian government, the source of the report, is claiming that Zelensky’s government is preparing to put together and detonate a dirty bomb somewhere inside Ukraine and before blaming the development on Putin and his government. That attribution of an action falsely to a country or government that was not involved is a false flag and the intention is to create a perception that someone is breaking the rules on what is allowed even during wartime.
False flags attacks were used most recently in the western supported insurgency in Syria, most notably at the Damascus suburb of Ghouta in 2013, where a chemical-weapons claimed attack that may have killed as many as 1700 people took place. The attack was inevitably attributed to the Syrian government by the United States but it was in fact, much more plausibly carried out by the rebels who controlled the area at that time.
So why would Zelensky detonate a dirty bomb within the area he controlled? Well, Zelensky has long sought increased and direct US and NATO involvement on his side in the fight against Russia. Being able to point to a major war crime that he would attribute to the Russians through a false flag operation might just be enough to do the trick and bring in larger scale western involvement. It is certainly something that Zelensky and his neocon advisers would consider an acceptable ruse de guerre. Given the effective neocon control over foreign policy and the media outlets in the US it would also in all likelihood involve the United States in a major war that was avoidable with devastating consequences for all parties involved.
So, if Joe Biden wants to talk about his achievements in the run-up to elections, why doesn’t he explain his reasons for enabling and expanding the war with Russia over Ukraine? That war has not only brought about a flow of billions of dollars in aid for the most corrupt country in Europe, it has also resulted in a worldwide energy crisis that has fueled inflation and disrupted trade. More to the point, it has led to a global movement to confront the United States over its presumption that it is the hegemonistic power that sets the rules for everyone else. That is also contributing to increasing rejection of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency, which will have an incalculable impact on the American economy and the country’s standard of living.
Has it all been worth it, Joe, to craft a narrative that ignores the real issues just so you can stay in power? The America that you and I were brought up in is sliding down into a deep dark hole, and you and your delusional neocon and neoliberal friends have been largely responsible for the descent even as you use your bully pulpit to cry about “democracy” at every opportunity.

the war with russia is because Putin will not allow in Rothschild banking
thisalso happened with the russian royal family the romanovs
so all were murdered along with milions of christinas
if rothschild really wants ukraine to war with russia why does he not pay for it
christ he has over half the worlds wealth
italy says no
to more refugee spongers
why cant we ?
they are bankrupting the UK
if rothschild really wants them
then he should accept them into israel
send them all there
A regular informed person would never vote for a one party state. Let’s say that in two years time Trump runs, and wins the US presidency. Trump will still be in a swamp full of evil neocon war mongering critters.
The deep state will still carryon with all their schemes. Its the same in bankrupt terrorist state Britain.
Only thicko sheeple vote, only thicko sheeple get jabbed, only thicko sheeple believe the fake news, and even if they don’t believe everything, they are in capable of forming independent rational opinions.
Biden’s own words, tells you that there’s no democracy, because democracy is supposed to give the voter two or more reasonable choices. Biden clearly states that you either vote for a demented senile old man who has no real power, or you vote for pure evil. I am reminded about the contested baby and the two the two women are given the choice to have the baby cut in two. Of course the real mother says no. She is the real mother, Biden presents a similar choice, but there’s no baby, there nothing, because voting is a pointless waste of time. It’s an insult to anyone with half a brain… did I say half?
Democracy can be viewed as an institutional bias towards individuality over groups (the driving force behind innovation, leadership, entrepreneurialism, etc.).
When the bias shifts to groups over individuals, then it becomes the enemy of these things, effectively interpolated into socialism and its guaranteed endgame in communism.
Ironically, the less democracy you have, the more you will hear it mentioned…its vestigial reality residing in a paranoid mantra.

People still look at Jews and instinctively wish to throw money at them, as if under hypnosis, which they are; I heard that one of our Prime Ministers was in a ritual where they literally prayed for money, and so did an Oriental cult-leader, regularly (maybe Moon), but Jews have been Mammonite for much longer. Jew-free England, by the way, had no Inflation for 400 years; that happens if a people is not money-obsessed
albanians romaniains general toerags etc are claiming they are fleeing persecution in their own countries and need asylum here
as they are persecuted for being homosexuals child sex offenders etc

Amerika died in 2020 but it was a twitching roadkill since 2000.
There’s a reason they played a funeral song on the undead pedo trash biden’s inauguration… they love to rub it in your face, especially when it goes unnoticed.
It’s now a patch of grease dug up for menorah wax once a year.
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
(H.L. Mencken)
Sir Evelyn de Rothschild aged 91 passes away in his sleep.
Lord Jacob Rothschild is 86, according to Wikipedia.
Like the death of QE2, these deaths do have major implications. No matter how much the fake news pisses praise on one of Savils best mates, and his lazy son Prince William, there’s been a significant loss of luster.
With the Roths, it’s a bit different, because they aren’t on public show. 95% wouldn’t be able to name LJR from a picture, and his son is even more abscure.
Prince Andrew was riding in the rain the other day, and laughing away. Still waiting to find out how much mummy left him. Fact is, we will probably never know, to avoid more payouts.
Re: Photo of Presidents at the top
FYI:
That’s the REAL Joe Biden….not a wax facsimile
Benjamin Franklin said “We have given you a Republic. It remains to be seen if you will be able to retain it.”
And America has lost it, through indoctrination. The Americans today, aren’t a patch on the knowledgeable and free folk of the past. We could say that for all westerners, but Americans in particular, who took on the most powerful empire, known to man, at the time and won. But then, that is also a debatable point especially when one reads what happened:
The confession of General Cornwallis to General Washington at Yorktown, October 19, 1781:
“Your churches will be used to teach the Jew’s religion and in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire. All religions will be permeated with Judaism without even being noticed by the masses, and they will all be under the invisible all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect of Freemasonry.”
Was America already a controlled nation before the war of independence or was it afterwards? A very debatable subject, but considering that all the founding fathers were freemasons, I believe that the war for independence, like all wars, was about sacrificial slaughter, population control, profiteering and of course control. Americans were under the elusion they had freedom. They didn’t and that was from the get-go.
But as for democracy? “Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy” – Plato.
“A society under democracy is one under the Jew” – White Elephant.
For the USA to survive it has to end democracy immediately and go back to being a constitutional republic. The same for the rest of the west, under common law. Nothing else, other than anarchy will save it. Governments need to be extinguished, politicians tried for treason and summarily punished and the bankers stripped of their wealth and imprisoned for the rest of their lives.
The title of this reminded me of Joseph Goebbels’ famous quote:
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”
Jim Yost,
That Goebbels quote is completely taken out of context and turned 180* around . Goebbels was talking about the communist/bolshevik/jew and how they lie and not about the National Socialist of Germany.
Here is the real Goebbels quote from a speech given at Nuremberg onSeptember 13th 1935:
“A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth” “There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph.” “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.” “The Communists follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.” “If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes accepted as truth.” “Good propaganda does not need to lie, indeed it may not lie. It has no reason to fear the truth. It is a mistake to believe that people cannot take the truth. They can. It is only a matter of presenting the truth to people in a way that they will be able to understand. A propaganda that lies proves that it has a bad cause. It cannot be successful in the long run.”
hp–Mencken might have been wrong: in statistics there is something called “the wisdom of crowds” based on the fact that if you ask loads of people a question the average of it will be right (even jelly beans in a jar)
Democracy ?
Is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner….
Wake Up Folks….
Re “Democracy”
This was simply a dirty (((Freemason))) trick to deceive the masses as the geo-political world was unfolding.
In hindsight,…various nations were in a state of flux in 1700’s .
Freemasons wanted to destroy Europe and concurrently build up the USA.
The (((usual suspects))) invoked the French Revolution to destabilize France…luring the masses that overthrowing the current governance base via “Equality,….Brotherhood and Liberty” mantra was best. (((French Revolution))) was simply a dry run for (((Bolshevik Revolution))).
What happens of course was sheer and utter chaos..a power vacuum which the (((Freemason Jacobins etc.))) took advantage of by design and invoked a (((reign of terror ))).
Concurrently, while Europe is in turmoil…the USA FOUNDING FATHERS_were Freemasons who were in league with the Brits to con the Americans that they were rebels on a holy mission to sever ties with the Brits. No….the (((American Revolution))) was all staged…. James Perloff, Charles Giuliani and others have documented this.
USA and Brits have never ever severed ties.
USA has always been a (((Brit))) puppett.
Russian Jews escaped Russia in the early 1800’s and most emigrated to New York…and since then from this locale have plotted World Domination.
“Democracy” originally had merit….based on:
(i) NO PARTY AFFILIATION and
(ii) NO LAWYERS
Well….. we know how long that lasted.
Like Dead rabbi HeyZeus…Democracy is a mirage to fool the terminally naive and eternally gullible.
Democracy was simply a weapon to facilitate the destruction of nations and cultures .
In other words..we were, perhaps, FAR better off have perhaps monarchy and benevolent dictators for each nation and culture ?!?
Lewis, I believe that’s called a ‘good guess’
