OMG, why did you have to remind me of the existence of that stomach-pumping “That’s My Bush” whitewash spectacle?! 🤮

Mark, I wanted to make sure you saw my three-part series, “Anatomy of a Philanthropath: Dreams of Democide & Dictatorship,” as I think you will especially appreciate it. The first two parts are open to the public, and the second will be unlocked tomorrow:

• “Part 1: A Mostly Peaceful Depopulation” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-philanthropath-dreams)

• “Part 2: Downloadable Digital Dictatorships” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-philanthropath-dreams-947)

• “Part 3: Yuval Noah Harari: Not the Man We Think He Is?” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-philanthropath-dreams-3fd)

I’m trying to inject the concept of “philanthropath” into the public consciousness so every time someone sees Gates, Soros, Schwab, et al, they instantly think “philanthropath” (which I define as “a socio/psychopath masquerading as a philanthropist.”), so I encourage everyone to use that term liberally in association with these miscreants to help viralize it.

I LOVE this new word. It fits so very well.

I accidentally typed Gobblists inadvertently leaving out the l. I then realized what an apropos misspelling!!! Thought it described them well: “of a large organization or other body) incorporate or take over (a smaller one)”.

Or

"he amassed his packaging empire by gobbling up National Can Corporation"

But then decided to look up the definition and found another one that is politically incorrect for me to say bc its other meaning is yucko stuff!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️😫

😆 How about Goebbalists? A bit clunky, though.

To some of us, Bush the Younger was still a fool even after 9/11 and remains so. The significance of Bush, Cheney and the rest of the neocons being rehabilliated, embraced, and feted by the Biden Regime wasn't lost. Covid propaganda mirrored Iraq War propaganda in many ways. However, the approach to Ukraine dating back to 2014 (and perhaps as far back as 2005) is straight out of the neocon playbook.

Listening to a dullard like Max Boot calling for World War III is like listening to Max Boot in 2001 calling for war with Iraq, Iran, and everyone else that stood in the way of neocon imperial ambition. News to Max: the unipolar moment is over.

Like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and sub-Saharan Africa, they'll screw up this nation building exercise, as well. Maybe that's also part of the playbook?

💯

neocon = neolib

neolib = neocon

They’re cut from the same cloth, whichever way you slice it.

BTW, I noticed you switched your Young One to Rik. Did you catch my “One by One” clip at the end of this piece?

I didn't catch the clip, unfortunately, but you recommended "One By One" which my wife and I watched faithfully. I've been a devoted Rik fan (along with Ade, Nigel, Christopher, and Alexei) since his Young Ones days but our minds were truly blown by this movie. We have recommended it to many of our friends who have reacted similarly.

You may recall also recommending the clip of Rik that he made right before his death warning that something bad may happen to him. It makes me wonder about how he actually died and why.

I remembered our exchange about Rik and “One by One” and am so glad you guys have gotten so much value out of it. I still haven’t had time to watch it yet, but the clip was perfect for that article.

I don’t remember seeing the clip of Rik saying something might happen to him—if you can find it, I’d love to see it. I have long suspected he was the victim of a heart attack gun or some such inconspicuous “natural-cause-causer” administered during his daily jogging routine.

Oh yes, that’s the one spliced at the end of the “One by One” clip I used, although this had a little more before and after (like him asking his colleague afterward, “Did that sound pretentious?”).

In a quainter time, (pre Covid) I called it ‘getting religion’ to make up for past sins. That was a very naive belief. The more I research do gooders the darker they become

What a great piece! I just read it on OffG before stopping by this Substack. I love the Aphex Twin link, too...so perfectly extreme. Arnold Schoenberg: "supposing times were normal, we'd have normal music."

Expand full comment

Aww, thanks, Andy! And yes, I thought that Aphex Twin video was the ideal accompaniment :-)

Interesting Schoenberg quote! I once wrote a paper comparing/contrasting Stravinsky (whose music I love) with Schoenberg (whose music I find intolerable ;-)

Yes! W Bush was first moved from Connecticut to Texas by Cheney so that he would have a chance to take Southern states which still often voted for dems in 2000. He dropped his North Eastern preppy accent and affected a Texas Twang, talking about “folks” and “ somethun”. He was credited with military service, and given part ownership of the Texas Rangers baseball team. There was money to be made because Clinton had the US budget close to balanced. Florida was the swing state and by coincidence his brother, Jeb Bush, was governor of Florida from 1999-2007. It looked like no way W got Florida, but he somehow (wink wink)did. Along comes 9/11 by coincidence and W has that balanced budget to play with….he goes after a man the USA put in power, Saddam Hussein…

all this enriches the military industrial complex, destabilizing nations….

And thanks for having an open mind, mark. W bush was installed and was incompetent, republican. Biden the same, but democrat. Many americans follow a party almost regardless of the president’s policies.

Ah yes, 2001. A popular bumper sticker:

“Somewhere in Texas … A village has lost its idiot”

He even had the Reagan family publicly criticizing his stance on stem cell research.

mark, you humbly neglected to mention the best and funniest book of the bush era - which you happened to write, with a little help from dubya: https://www.publishersweekly.com/9780393041835

i'd forgotten how funny the cover typography was!

Gee, thanks.

I will check it out MCM. Remember that these people are a network of interbreeding bloodlines. Trumps presidency was activated as a destabilization event so that MSM and the DNC would spew hatred towards him. This would weaponize segments of society (the clueless) and make him a never-ending talking point just before the pLandemic. Donald is a collaborator as well because he took NO shots at all. He kept pushing this poison and their is no way he doesn't know how damaging it is. The right are still pushing him....WTF? What group is more F'ing clueless? God Bless everyone.

W. Bush is likely the grandson of satanist Aleister "666" Crowley!

Lovely, and a good reality check on the sanctity of the Democratic Party.

Comparing a vulgar buffoon with certified War Criminals is one of Chomsky's

really bad takes on our current predicament.

I wasn’t around for most of them but I’ve read about the stooges. I won’t vote for any of the liars left right in the middle stupid. There all liars There the puppets that are at war with us

That was hilarious. Thank you. It used to be the parties were the vehicle that took someone to office where they represented the voters. (Like Barbara Jordan) It’s now inverted where the voters are the vehicle to get in office and once in they are discarded so the party is represented.

Is this available on any non-YouTube sites? I'm trying to live a Google-free life.

while the video may be relatively accurate, I do take mild umbrage at the desecration of the Three Stooges.

George W Bush is positively erudite compared to the often incoherent and pathetic figure that has been propped up as the POTUS. Just like SARS-CoV-2 Trump derangement syndrome TDS is here for good and will continue to infect some of the “best and brightest” causing an uncontrollable St. Vitus’ like dance of rage which effectively renders any rational thought or critical thinking moot. Vote blue no matter who.
