“When we see the few truth-tellers who are the stars of their organizations jettisoned – Tucker Carlson from Fox News, Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stone, Glenn Greenwald from The Intercept, James O’Keefe from Project Veritas… we must face the fact that there is an organized conspiracy to suppress truth.” — Paul Craig Roberts
The weird part the news media isn’t telling you about World War Three is that America’s main enemy in this struggle is… the US Government itself! America is looking like that crazy person on the street, punching himself in the head. How else do you explain this epic act of national self-destruction?
The “Joe Biden” regime is “standing up for our democracy” by trying to silence all and any public speech about what it does in the world and how it treats its own citizens. Meanwhile, the entire scaffold of American life crumbles and you are supposed to not notice it’s happening. The funny part is that the Democratic Party thinks this is an election strategy. The funniest part of the funny part is that we bother holding elections at all.
You understand, “Joe Biden” is only pretending to run for president again, in the same way that he only pretended to be president the past two years. Are we to believe, for instance, that the old zombie has become a fervent Maoist? Or that he follows any known structured political philosophy at all, other than cashing checks that favor-seekers from all nations send his way? “Joe Biden” is pretending to run — no matter how preposterous it seems — because his handlers know that only a titanic pretense of political strength can stave off the reveal of his family’s awesome criminality and the fall of everyone hitched to that wagon.
So much for the funny stuff. Things are getting to the point where we stop laughing. It’s only a question now of how the calamity rolls out. There are so many more parts to it and they are all out-of-hand in the most disastrous way. The Ukraine project is a big part. It was prodigiously stupid to provoke a war there and the side we backed, the Nazi-ish Zelensky regime, has already lost. You just don’t know it because the American news business is a joke on the American public. It reports nothing honestly.
Ukraine is the last in a string of hapless military adventures that has exhausted America’s credibility in the world, especially as regards our military superiority. (Think: Russia’s Kinzhal hypersonic missile.) There will be many unexpected consequences of that failure. One will be the crack-up of NATO, which has only been a false front for American military power. Germany couldn’t fight its way out of a duffle bag with what it’s got, and it is supposedly Europe’s leading economic power. The sad truth is that it will stop being any kind of power without the cheap Russian Natgas it was running on, and later this year Germany will be in a panic to try and restore its horribly damaged trade relations with Russia to get that natgas. Since NATO’s essential mission is to oppose Russia on everything, that will be the end of NATO. Europe will return to what it has always been: a region of squabbling national interests. Let’s hope Europe does not become again the slaughterhouse it was in the last century.
The failure of the Ukraine project could easily stimulate a collapse in Europe’s banking system, which would instantly spread to America’s banking system as obligations dissolve and payments stop. The net effect of all that will be the vanishing of a whole lot of capital, including the money in bank accounts, the money invested in stocks and bonds, the money lodged in pension plans, and the money controlled by insurance companies. As I’ve mentioned before — it’s worth repeating — you can go broke two ways: you can have no money, or you can have money that’s worthless. We’ve been steadily following the latter path through the “Joe Biden” years, but we’re close to simply not having money at all. Being broke will get Americans’ attention. And the first place they’ll look is the party in power.
Multiple scandals have finally caught up to “Joe Biden” and are escaping the formidable suppression apparatus erected by the Deep State’s legal department. Attorney General Merrick Garland himself is now directly implicated in obstruction of justice by an IRS whistleblower. The allegation is that Mr. Garland interfered in the case against Hunter Biden in the Delaware US attorney’s office and lied about it to Congress. On top of that comes a new allegation, with hard documentary evidence (testimony by former Acting CIA Director Mike Morell), that Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan arranged, as “Biden” campaign officials in 2020, for fifty-one intel officers, including five retired CIA directors, to sign a phony letter denouncing the Hunter laptop as a Russian disinfo project, knowing it to be untrue. A case can be made for that amounting to election interference.
All that is fairly fresh news. For many months, it’s been known that Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chair of the House Oversight Committee, has possession of bank records that show more than a hundred instances of the decanting of millions of dollars from foreign lands into various Biden family accounts. Doesn’t look good. Looks impeachable.
On top of all that, observers are reporting that more than ten thousand illegal immigrants a day will be crossing into the USA from Mexico in the weeks ahead. Alejandro Mayorkas’s Dept. of Homeland Security and Mr. Blinken’s State Department have made arrangements with international NGOs working through the UN, to systematically conduct these immigrants across the border, furnishing them with pre-cooked phony asylum documents. This week, Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) introduced legislation to allow unrestricted immigration to any person claiming to be LBGTQ. Co-sponsors of the bill include Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. How is any of this a re-election strategy?
It’s not. If these matters are not adjudicated, it will be a civil war strategy.

10,000 a day?
In a country sliding into recession?
It can’t happen here, Americans all said for years and years. But now it’s here and there’s no way to make it go away. The regime always hated the average citizen, but it’s now reached the point to total treason.
Like the old song: Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
Yesterday a well known contributor to this site, wrote a hit piece on Tucker Carlson, because Carlson in a post Fox News video mentioned ‘truth’, and strange as it may seem. ‘truth’ is a dirty word on this site, & I jest not!
Not least, because this well known contributor labels everything, & everyone as a ‘communist’. I’ve no idea where TC stands on the official political spectrum, but I strongly doubt $20 million a year Carlson is a communist, whatever a communist is. Oh, Biden, the butcher of UKraine must be a commie, because I’ve seen it written on this site, a thousand times…
So I made a sensible rational comment, about the extreme bias of our well known contributor, but hey ho, his guardian angel censored me. lol
What’s the problem, Tucker stealing someone’s thunder?
I’ve said this several times on here, and it goes for contributors, and commentors. Make videos, and write, but accept that ‘you’ live and die by the pen. You should accept any all none abusive criticism, and the editor should stay out of it, and stop protecting nutjobs?
It’s fine having sensible moderation, but censorship, because the contributor is a fool, and should be protected?
Tucker Carlson made some very valid points in his short video. Clearly, his words were tempered. He floated his pitch, between his peers in the fake news, and semi-comatose sheeple. Carlson could easily have weighed in with a big tarred brush, but he didn’t. TC’s points, apply to alternative media which is full of pathetic thicko narratives, that no one will be talking about in 5yrs, let alone a decades time.
But the highly protected contributor was allowed to do a hit job, on presstitute, who had been breaking resent stories that caused the Nazi NWO some serious problems.
TC: ‘The US is a one party state.’ Oh dear, now we know why the alternative media wants a TC hit job. lol
I’ve never followed TC. I’ve had his vids in my YT feed, but I can honestly say that I may have watched part of one TC video.
Awaiting with baited breath for Nicox’ mental meltdown about those scary,evil looking red stars on the Russian Mig in the photo above…
Yeah, sure. All we have to do now is turn these miscreants over to the DOJ for prosecution, right?
I can’t put myself into the Leftist mindset.
Just a witless desire to destroy your own Race, Culture, Founding Faith.
And that’s it.
Simply nothing else.
They are big on the Theory of Evolution as well.
Yet they subscribe to the philosophy of auto-genocide .
I simply cannot comprehend it.
Many a drunken thug has been laid out. America is drunk on power and it just got laid out in Afghanistan. It’ll sober up soon enough, though, having picked a fight with Russia and starting another one with China.
I have given up hoping for anything good to happen like NATO breaking up, the EU dissolving , the Democrats not having Elections stolen for them; I seem to be living in an Anti-World – anything I would like to see happen never happens and what is bad just keeps on getting worse.
The next Labour Government is simply going to take the brakes off.
Do you know what the Game Changer is?
The Turin Shroud.
Even though the post-Vatican 2 Catholic Church ‘accepts ‘ it is a Fake, it simply is not.
(This tells you what you need to know about the V2 Church)
The only problem Christians should have with it is that because it is forensic evidence of the Stations of the Cross, it precludes the need for Faith.
Not a bad problem to have.
So maybe my first sentence is erroneous.
@Carl Jones: ‘…I strongly doubt $20 million a year Carlson is a communist, whatever a communist is.’
The top-dog communists were always filthy rich, and they lived the life of Riley. (Of course, I am not talking about the opportunistic hoax that is its conceptualisation by Klaus Schwab et al.)
The creepy salacious Zelenski is a communist. Note, inter alia, his utter contempt for human life and human rights, his pan-faced lack of concern for the 30,000 (or is it more?) children missing from Ukraine, and for the children pressed-gamged into frontline service where their life expectancy is four hours at most. Listen to him lie without flinching. The communist, Carl, is an enslaver and murderer whenever power accrues to him.
On the milder side of the communist’s portait is the hater of independent states and statesmen, of Christianity, and of truth. The communist is Satan’s spawn.
Without power, the communist is either a dimwitted idealilist, or he lives in the hope that power will be vested in him by the elite who profess his political philosophy.
Now, dare disagree with me, and I shall rant on.
C Jones–Communism is the grey, undifferentiated world the goyim get when Yid-man has the rampant tribal nationalism of Israel. They get off on the contrast
Headline: “The Democratic National Committee isn’t organizing any debates, ”
The fix is in – the Demoncrap Party says there WON’T be any presidential debates.
Ha ha. Biden – a fake president in a rubber mask – will not be debating RFK Jr. or Trump.
It is all rigged, fixed, the Commie wing of the Jewish Zionists have it all sewn up.
How can they give up power when they have committed treason?
1900 food processing plants in Amerika blown up in the past year.
Genocide. Rigged elections. Budget ceiling standoff. Ukraine out of bullets.
What now brown cow?
Well said, Sophie –
