Like the GOP back when Dan Quayle was in the picture, with Jerry Falwell riding high, the Democratic Party is now pushing an agenda that nobody wants, except for a fanatical minority

I have been a lifetime believer in liberal values since the Kennedys, but Biden and Pelosi and company are the opposite of JFK and RFK. JFK hated the deep state, the military/industrial complex, and fought it. Biden embraces big pharmaceutical and its bureaucratic allies including CIA, CDC, etc. Kennedy built a fitness program based in healthy exercise aimed at winning a fitness badge; Biden destroys the kids fitness with lockdowns, dangerous masking( which pelosi was photographed not wearing, whike forcing 5 year olds to mask. JFK and RFK were free speech champions. Biden and Newsom and Pelisi used a respiratory virus as an excuse to muzzle free speech. JFK stared down Russia and won at the Cuban missile crisis. Biden created a conflict with Russia so he could write a 40 billion dollar check to his cronies in Ukraine, who ‘coincidentally’ had bought some expensive paintings from Hunter Biden, who does not know how to paint. JFK died fighting the deep state; Biden kills his own citizens (clot shots) to monetize the deep state. Lloyd Bentsen once gave a speech where he said “…Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine; and you, sir, are no Jack Kennedy.” Joe Biden, you are no Jack Kennedy, either, and JFK looking down on your treason does not regard you as a friend, or a democrat, or a liberal.
It wasn't a speech, that was a line in the Bentsen vs Quayle debate. The press was starting their slide into a hard bias against anybody Republican. No matter what party you are in you cannot look at what is in the white house today and not see the intentional destruction of our country and its values. Open borders, climate "emergency" hoax, fraudulent elections using dark money, ballot harvesting, drop boxes, and Dominion voting machines, with legacy media lies and big tech censorship, all brought to full bloom by the biggest plot against America (and the world) ever enacted: the plandemic. The proof and evidence that all these things (and more) are being brought to bear against the US is everywhere one looks, so obvious to people who can see it, and it's been taking many of our 300+ million people so damn long to wake up to the war raging around us. Most who don't see all this are intellectually lazy or oblivious or distracted or incredibly gullible, while others are participating in the destruction b/c they are angry at their parents or stations in life and are chronically on-line juggling their perceived slights and a sense of entitlement, or are just plain mentally ill; but these two chief categories comprise the bulk of the useful idiots who muddy the waters and keep the distractions coming while a healthy amount of truly evil people plot and plan and enact the destruction of the US, the most powerful nation the earth has ever seen, a nation that had, perhaps no longer has, the greatest hope of achieving a truly free self governing society, with a car in every garage and food on the table and a strong people who know there will be mistakes and hurdles but are ready to fight to preserve these ideals, all while honoring or serving or allowing the idea of a loving God. Two plus two equals four. Even with all the many bad, good, abstract, brilliant, odd, terrible, awful, dumb, and fantastic ideas that come up as we muddle through, always at the core of our existence: two plus two equals four.
Happy you are cheered up a bit. I hope you don't mind, I am keeping your words and if I ever use it, I will credit you. But I am really keeping because I don't think I have seen what has happened and is happening in this country so well expressed and summed up. Awesome in fact. It made me feel good to know there is at least one smart person out there who can both see and express what is happening to us.
So nice, and don't worry about the credit part, I just hope it will ring true to anybody who's stirring awake (I'd say most everybody on Mark's substack has been wide awake for a while!) Thanks again Duchess
You people are all very nice. Im sorry we are all going through this. Hopefully we are turning a corner, and substacks like this are absolutely helping.
The only explanation is these miscreant uniparty politicians are captured and or complicit. Beholden to China and accepting their rewards (power or money, or trafficked kids) as enough in return for crumbling the US from within.
I agree we are infiltrated and pretty much controlled by China and their select Manchurian candidates...although China is happy to let the WEF do a lot of damage, and live out their fantasies...for a time.
They are living in a fantasy...along with Blackrock, State street and VAnguard and their AI program taking over the US a chunk at a time...do they seriously think China will let them contnue, once they have brought everyone to their knees? Do the Gates, Schwab's etc of this world think they will continue to be useful to China after they have done what is needed?
You do realize that after JFK there were no more liberals, right? Not Johnson, not Clinton, certainly not Obama.
Just like there has been no true conservative with the exception of Reagen, until Trump. But both these true conservatives went along with the Big Pharma Agenda...Regan with the Vaccine Injury Act transferring liability to us taxpayers, and Trump with the Warp Speed which was put in front of him in September of 2019.
Good points, although some would say Jimmy Carter was a true liberal, who actually called on the nation to lower thermostats to 65 degrees or less, rather than start a proxy or destabilizing war in the middle east, as is current US Policy. (Kuwait, Iraq, and the Caspian area for examples). Carter also advocated for improved CAFE standards( miles per gallon) way back in the 1970’s. Had that policy been followed until now, the Japanese car invasion would have been greatly lessened, and the entire phony ‘green’ industry ( Bill Gates spraying solar reflective chemicals, giant plastic solar panels which use tons of energy to create and will end as garbage, etc) would not exist. Carter recognized the sovereignty of all nations in his foreign policy, and both Yassir Arafat and Menacham Begin were willing to listen to him. So an argument could be made for Carter.
RFK was a liberal, but died from one bulket shot behind his ear, despite the ridiculous Sirhann Sirhan blind. ( “It was a foreigner!”)
RFKjr is a true current liberal(albeit hated by neo-liberals who parrot television with amazing accuracy) His Waterkeeper/Riverkeeper has maintained key waterways in hundreds of locations, without most of the bureaucracy most charitable organizations are bogged down with. RFKjr also saw through W Bush, who was put in power by Cheney and Rumsfield.
My uncle worked at Oak Ridge right after he came home from Vietnam. You don’t ever mention Carter to him, he becomes enraged. He says that during his time there, Carter sold nuclear secrets all over the globe. He said it was a parade of foreigners.
Makes me wonder who’s “touring,” the site today, on our dime.
True-I was answering the question “ has there been a truly ‘liberal’ president since JFK.? Carter was, in the context of his times, and I attempted to explain that, using some specific policies as examples. Was he a ‘good’ president is a different question, and I was not attempting to answer that.
It's more than the so-called left. It includes RINO's, UNI-party & Neocons. And it ain't "The Left", there are a lot of populists on the real left, i.e. Glenn Greenwald, Jimmy Dore, Aaron Mate, Max Blumenthal, Fiorella Isabel, Russel Brand, many others. What used to be liberals have morphed into Neoliberals which are the corporate owned liberals: pro-war, pro-censorship, anti-free speech, identity politics on steroids, create division, subvert democracy, Wall st all the way, Main st down the sewer.
Yes. You are either a totalitarian, or for individual liberty. There is no more Left or Right. Except the Dems in my country haven't realized it yet...especially my age group (over 60). They will go to the chambers saying the right did this, and will vote for the devil himself if he has a D after his name. Totally incapable of realizing the world has changed since their youth.
Not sure we have to have such an extreme and two-polar choice to everything... Either waaaay over here, or waaaay over there? I think even now there's always room for some gray area. After all, do we EVER have just two points of view?
Indeed. And it seems pretty clear that nearly ALL the vocabulary is turned upside down, to further confuse everyone and set them at each other... Divide and Conquer... it works.
Yes; and I voted all republican in 2020, because they were more in line with my liberal beliefs; freedom of speech,(1st amendment), no forced medical procedures ( Nuremberg and Siricusa, both of which the US is signatory to). For me, those are classical liberal values. Many current “neoliberals” or “ progressives “ are just parroting television, while the policies they are behind are quite the opposite of ‘liberal’-quashing free speech, destroying the poor and inner cities(lockdowns), favoring mega corporations over small businesses (lockdowns allowed Amazon to stay open, and forced local businesses to close). I stay loyal to policy(by the people, of the people, for the people), but not to party.
Earlier this year, Naomi Wolf was on Bannon discussing the midterms. Bannon was going on about the red tsunami, etc... and Wolf's body language said, "You idiot! Do you really think they're going to let us vote this year?! We're at war!" What she actually said wasn't much different: "Weather it's a variant, or a hot war, or famine...they'll keep us from voting this November."
To the no "guns, cars, meat, babies, arguments" I would add, "no money." I guess that's implied in all of the above. But as long as there is money -- an exchange medium of paper and coins -- there is a chance for exchange, economic growth, and with that the revival of those lost freedoms. The social credit system will finish off what is left of our freedoms. (There is now no cash in Norway -- no ATMs, just cell phones to buy your food.)
That makes our single most important freedom the right to own guns. All guns. So keep your powder dry, folks.
That social credit system will only finish us off IF WE LET IT. We don't have to do a damn thing "they" tell us. Our rights don't come from them, they are inherent, and inalienable. That means these psycho A-holes are NOT our masters. Not then, not now, not ever. FREEDOM.
That's the secret, that's why we have to begin now to teach EVERYONE to hate them, to castigate their minions, teach their paid servants to be subversive, tell the children to rebel against their propaganda spewing teachers, get people primed for revolution. When people are primed & ready, a spark will light the fire of revolution.
Well, sort of... I'm not going to teach anyone to hate. In my way of thinking, that's not a great way to do anything. Rebel, yes, stand up for ourselves, yes, stand up for the kids, yes, revolution... depends on what that means, exactly. I want a better life, not a bloody (and short) life. There are plenty of things we can do without hating anybody.
Well that is a difficult and touchy subject. Hatred is a human (& animal emotion) that exists for a purpose, albeit an ugly one. Would you hate Hitler? Would it be right to hate Hitler? If your family was exterminated by Hitler would you hate him and his minions? Which is worse hatred or 1st degree murder? Is the death penalty hatred or revenge? Is revenge better than hatred?
These Demons of Davos have already committed the mass murder of certainly over 10 million people, and if their plans succeed genocide to a level never before seen in human history. If that doesn't justify hatred I don't know what does.
I've had this conversation before... I understand hate, I feel hate, I get it. What I'm saying is, it's absolutely possible to stop evil without teaching or focusing on hate. I'm not saying that is EASY. I'm not saying it's LIKELY that we can all overcome it. I'm saying I don't want to FOCUS on it, and allow my spirit to be consumed by it. That's all. I struggle with this issue almost daily. I don't want to let my life be taken over by hate. I want to focus on the positive side of it, as in, Let's End This Evil, let's punish those who are responsible, whatever we decide, but not a mob murder spree. And let's work hard and find a better way to live, and figure out how to stop this from happening again. I'm NOT saying we should be soft on anyone, or do nothing. I'm for taking down the 5G towers, and putting these genocidal maniacs out of business. Stopping Big Pharma (pretty much) altogether. Ending the unending wars. I just don't want to FOCUS on hatred. I want to FOCUS on JUSTICE. It seems like a word game, but to me, words matter. Mindset matters. That's all I'm sayin. Cheers.
I know where you are coming from, and I agree mostly, its different in modern times. In ancient times, when someone did an act of evil you would pick up a stick and beat them. Now with these crimes against humanity it is far more complicated and a calm & patient mind is far more capable of fighting these demons.
What I do have a problem with is this new Neoliberal doctrine that "words matter". The old adage: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" has been reversed to "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but only words can hurt me".
So Pelosi claims " I don't hate anybody" but has no problem whatsoever throwing innocent, non-violent protesters in a brutal prison, where they are abused, even tortured, without even having been found guilty of a crime, for a year or more, with 2 already driven to suicide. But no she doesn't hate. I can guarantee you every one of those protestors would much rather Pelosi "hated their guts" than to have been brutalized the way they have been. So I stand by the reality that hate is much less a immoral act than to do an act of violence, which includes imprisonment or forced vaccination.
I agree, FREEDOM. But people will have to fight for it, and look at all of the people who went along with the masks, the lockdowns, the Pfizer injections. I am not sure just how many people will be willing to put their lives on the line for their freedom, they might choose security instead. But I think that when people are starving, there will be riots, and the government will lose control. That's when the rubber hits the road. I hope that we are in the critical mass of the population that will be victorious in this struggle to regain our freedom.
I hear you. But we have done VERY VERY little to stop this plague of psycho oligarchs killing us off and taking over. VERY VERY little. And it seems like there are so many people who are so unwilling to even consider anything positive without waiting around for starvation and mobs and riots. It's like living in a black & white, 2-D cartoon, with only two options for every situation, way over there, or way over here. It's kind of weird.
How about the "BabyKilling" rightists who stole the 2000 (and then the 2004) election, promising to stop abortion, and then, instead, invaded Iraq? How many millions—babies included—perished in their "war on terror"?
As long as you respond to this disaster as the member of a tribe, they'll play you like a violin.
There have been actions on both "sides" of our 2-party bullshit system. Both are corrupt, bought out by Big Pharma (HUGE part of the "baby killing") and the Military Industrial Complex... We've been played with by TPTB that control both sides for decades, and who have built the tech, bankster, and agro behemoths that are contributing to our problems, hugely. What it comes down to, I'd say, generally speaking, is the vast wealth of just a tiny handful of oligarchs running almost the entire globe, and certainly the entire "West." And of course, they blame the two entities that might stop them, the Russians and the Chinese. With the Patriot Act shredding our rights and bringing in the Surveillance State, and the NDAA making it LEGAL for our govt. to LIE to us (propaganda) and the thing that makes it all WORK SO WELL-- the crushing of our Free Press and the censorship of the Peeps and anyone else who threatens their Evil Paradigm, we've got a lot of work to do going forward. But first we have to put down this rabid dog of Globalism.
And we have to start by pulling the plug on AI. Starting with Aladdin.
I think the one way to make our burden lighter is to take down the internet. Not electricity, the internet itself.Without it, they cannot trade stock to make themselves richer electronically and amass huge fortunes..they cannot program the TV (let them do it live) and they cannot NUDGE us constantly all day long and monitor everything we do, say, go, spend, etc...they are using this vast information they have been collecting for YEARS on us. That gives me another thought...instead of food processing plants, they should concentrate on the huge banks of our data stored in Utah and NJ.
Right now, if we take down the Internet, we lose the ability for many, many of us to talk to each other. I think that would be not a good idea. What might be a good idea is to take it over.
That is true . On refexion lets just take put the hige data banks they have on us that nsa and google keep on us..20 years of e every search email posting etc. Everyone in the country. That would mess up their psychological ops on us...then we get someine clever to take dominion out before the elections...
As Carroll Quigley pointed out back in the 60s in Tragedy and Hope, a population only has power inasmuch as it has access to the same weapons as the state. As soon as the state has more powerful weapons or better weapons technology, it's all over---authoritarianism follows.
I don't know about Carroll Quigley, but I do know there's never just TWO possibilities. Everyone seems to want to look at two, extreme, diametrically-opposed choices, and that's just not reality, in my opinion. There's always more than two.
I "liked" your comment because I sincerely hope you're correct. I'm less sanguine than you are. The truth is we simply can't know what's possible. We can have hunches, hopes, and intuitions, but no one is free from his or her own individual, and hence incomplete, inherently faulty, perspective.
If I seem sanguine, it's only in the long-term sense of this plague (of evil)... I'm about to be evicted. My family is shattered because my brothers want me cut off from my parents. I live in a place where people are visibly hostile to me because I'm un-jabbed. I can't find work. I'm not very sanguine in the short-term.
You have my deep, heartfelt sympathy. I've been up against so much trauma and evil for so long it's a miracle I'm still alive. This is not the right space for me to go into details about it, though. For whatever it may be worth, I'll send you wishes for well-being and blessings of whatever kind are possible.
I am beyond shocked to hear you make this statement Mark Crispin Miller ... ?
'the reason why Democrats can't (really) win an election"
When it was you on Democracy Now in December 2008 speaking with Amy Goodman was when I learned GW Bush stole the White House twice ... using Electronic Voting Machines (hacked by Connell).
George W. Bush winning the POTUS was the direct result of Election Fraud - bought & paid for by Karl Rove - who hired Michael Connell to flip the votes in Florida 2000 (a steal from Al Gore in Florida) and this repeated again in 2004 (a steal from John Kerry in Ohio; election fraud again - paid for by Karl Rove, and carried out by Michael Connell) ... And, now today Dominion Voting Systems EVM will decide who is POTUS ...
When are we gong to hold them accountable ... the 1% that manufacturee EVM ... We need Paper Ballots - like Stephen Spoonamire has been screaming from the rooftops.
Thanks for reminding me of what I said, and wrote, about the theft of the 2004 election. I wrote and said all that in hopes that it would jump-start a national discussion of the urgent need for radical reform reform of our abysmal voting system. I did NOT write and say all that in hopes that Democrats would stay in power forevermore—which is apparently your wish, which makes you a partisan, and not a champion of electoral democracy.
Do you actually believe the Democrats are popular enough to win the next election (if any)? Or do you think that they SHOULD win, no matter how few people vote for them? If so, you missed the basic point of all my work back then.
Mike Connell, R.I.P., was a conservative Republican who tried to blow the whistle on the theft that he'd facilitated, because he thought such theft was wrong. It WAS wrong—and it's just as wrong when Democrats do likewise; and Stephen Spoonamore agrees.
I apologize, I likely was not clear in what I tried to relate ... I'm not pro-Democrat ... I despise the DNC - I may be a registered Democrat - BUT I did not even bother voting in 2020 POTUS election ... It's all hocus pocus. The 1% elites choose who they want to serve their (right, or Ieft) agenda - they flip flop - the results every other election to confuse us into believing elections are real. I'm sorry _ I just assumed after you did the story on Connell/Rove - I just assumed you realized elections are stolen; because all EVM are hackable.
I saw that Al Gore made a vile comment this morning, comparing skeptics of Climate Change to the Uvalde police who stood outside cowering from one shooter.
John Kerry, I believe, is a friend and guest of the WEF.
Had either of them defeated Bush (lawfully or unlawfully) in 2000 or 2004 would it really make any difference to where we are today?
Is it safe to assume you're unaware GW Bush, Dick Cheney orchestrated 9/11? along with Israel's Mossad [the Art Students that lived on the 92nd floor of the WTC & wired all 3 buildings WTC1,2 & 7 (the Soloman Brothers Building) with fuses & nanothermite. This led to NSA and violation of our human rights to privacy. I imagine life would be very different.
Actually, there's a very strong possibility that 9/11 was carried out with a secret weapon that still hasn't been adequately "outed." Something that does what Dr. Judy Wood calls "Dustification." She was smeared, ignored, and pretty well kicked to the curb, even though she was highly qualified to do what she did, which was to investigate and find the cause of the Twin Towers' and Building 7's collapse. No thermite was ever discovered to have been used. There's a very interesting video about this, in which the whole Architechts and Engineers is shown to be questionable, maybe controlled opposition, which would make sense (in my view). Anyway, check it out... Actually, this is a different one, but I think it's very interesting, too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML8CJp9Ha14
they - "Gelatin" Art Students actually took photographs of themselves standing on a balcony they made after removing one of the windows on the 91st floor - they hired a helicopter to bring the photographer to film all the Israeli's involved in the controlled demolition of the WTC Toweres (1,2 & 7; the Soloman Brothers Building) ... I suppose to ensure 'history' was accurately recorded and proper acknowledgemnet made to those responsible for the crime (that they are obviously very proud of) ... https://youtu.be/-its6EG3DwA
nanothermite was found throughout ground zero and dozens of truckloads of debri was carted off to China where the steel remains was sold at a loss. The Israeli Art Students that called themselves 'Gelatin' - they used a gelatinous substance to store the nanothermite in BB#18 [item number] fuses - thousands of BB#18 fuses were wired throughout all 3 WTC Buildings by 14 "Art Students" that lived on 91st floor for years (later learned were Mossad agents - one with a degree in explosives) https://www.winterwatch.net/2017/09/world-trade-centers-infamous-91st-floor-israeli-art-student-project/
I'm not sure how much I believe the idea of 9/11 being orchestrated. For many years I was very skeptical of such a notion. After these last two years, I might be more open-minded on them. But should we take it on faith that the same events may not have happened under Gore as well, perhaps for the same reason?
the UK is now choosing between two candidates for prime minister. Both of them have ties to the WEF. Clearly that election is a farce. Whoever wins, the Brits lose.
the Art Sudents that called themselves "Gelatin" made sure to document their work (i.e., placing nanothermite; a military-grade expolosive capable of melting steel - inside a gelatinous substance that stabilizzed the explosive till 09/11/2000 in the morning hours when WTC #1 & WTC #2 fell in a free fall & WTC #7 did the same at 5:24pm when Larry Silverstein is recorded instructing them to "Pull it" - a demolition term) ...
they called it a "B-Thing" because the fuses they used were BB#18 (the item number; hundreds of boxes of these remote controlled fuses are seen stocked - hundreds of boxes on top of each other) on the 91st floor ofnthe WTC #1 - where 14 Art Students lived for years ... https://www.gelitin.net/projects/b-thing/
Murkans are trained to be like the opposite sides of a football game... my team, right or wrong. The two-party system totally sucks, but it works well if both sides are corrupt and are run by one, bigger, utterly despicable team... oligarchs. This coup d'etat going on is a global one, but Murka was delivered from democracy some time ago, and we had only an illusion of one... pretty much gone since the early 60's... or earlier. We've never had true DIRECT DEMOCRACY, even though we seem to have come close a few times... I'm not sure of the details, but the overall picture is the oligarchs have been around long before we were the USA, and they're stomping the hell out of us now.
I am totally on board with paper ballots, with a day only to vote, and tons of high school kids to COUNT the votes watched over by the National Guard. Dr. Shiva Ayyadurrai's good idea. As long as we have machines to count the vote, mail in voting absentee, drop boxes etc. There will be no fair elections ever again.
Exot polls are to be ignored. The numbers on. The tv screens come from something and as we all saw them flip in sn instant..that would mess them up...and any block of votes where the numbers go down are to be immediately cast out. You can see the actual counts go down on a candidate..that cant happen in any election but it did last time
exit polls are critical BECAUSE ... if the winning party's winning % is = or > 2% , and higher - than the loosing party gets to demand a recount of the paper ballots. This is the law in every state. The screen #'s are manipulated all the time
ha ha! Would JFK be conservative today? No. The Kennedy family were bootleggers (patriarch Joe was), phonies, liars, election cheats, skirt chasers and social climbers. And none of them were very bright. They were as corrupt as the Biden family. Sorry, but I cannot romanticize that family. Today they would be right in on the "Green New Deal" and raking in cash from China and the Ukraine.
What??? Where do you get all that? Yeah, way back there might have been bootleggers... but... JFK was our last real hope. The Evil Ones took him out because he was interested in sovereignty for the USA, and not being the Crown's military arm. He was on the side of the People. No, he wasn't utterly PURE, men chase skirts sometimes, but that doesn't make them EVIL. Killing vast numbers of human beings, even babies and children, that's EVIL.
It's okay to disagree. No worries. I will just say this: The people that took out JFK and RFK and MLK, and FDR, and all the other people who were trying to stand for Freedom and sovereignty of the US, and so many, SO MANY, who were trying to get true Democracy, were killed off by the same people, or of the same group of people, that are doing what's happening now, that supported and trained Hitler, that have killed so many in the Middle East, Africa, India... So it's a much bigger picture than the foibles of any few people... It's a centuries-long tyranny of evil that is now making a play for Humanity, for the Earth, and for Life as we know it. Chasing skirts just pales in comparison.
the Nazi military tanks were manufactured by FORD ... Gerald - from the USA - so if that doesn't prove how convoluted the players/profiteers in wars are ... including WWW ... then nothing else will convince us. All wars are just a "rich man's game" -- they present false flags and profit in the billions these days & the people - like idiots - believe their 'false flag' lies every time. I will never understand why? ... or hiw?
Yeah. Exactly. It's about power, wealth, and control. Time for that shit to end, because this time, they've gone toooooo far, and we're onto them, and we will never be able to UNKNOW what we've found out in the past 2 1/2 years. And they are too arrogant and full of BS to realize how they've begun their own demise by trying to conquer us. Maybe Americans are too stupid to get off their ass, but the rest of the world, and especially the victims of actual wars, RECENT wars, know how this goes and are not sitting around on SS (not that I don't LIKE SS).
Joe Kennedy the Patriarch was a rogue ... but all the children, who were given great care by Rose. Rose paved their way to having good character, a moral & social conscience ... Being "Irish Catholic" just meant that their roots were within Celtic tradition and in the Kennedy male culture, they may have chased skirts, but they adored women, and were always chivralous and that set them high above the GOP's view on women; misogynistic. Robert F. Kennedy; a Civil Rights Activist - was one of the most decent human beings on the face of the planet. You may not have had the chance to ever learn anything about the Kennedy's; since any views "anti-corporate world domination' is silenced and hidde from the public.
Hahaha, so true. As I was told by a waiter in a restaurant when I asked him why they replaced their printed menus with a QR code, "You shouldn't use paper anyway because it's bad for the environment." So, we can add, "no paper."
Many years ago, a friend told me that after he died he'd like to be incarnated as a tree. That sounded noble and beautiful to me for a moment or two. Then I asked him, "But what if you were destroyed by people who wanted wood pulp from which to manufacture paper?" He replied, "That'd be fine with me, as long as the paper was used for a work of art."
We can ask ourselves this question: "If human technology is bad for Gaia, or 'the environment,' how far do we want to go in defining technology?" Cutting down trees to make wood pulp in order to manufacture paper is a fairly new technological invention, if you consider humanity's entire existence on Earth. Should we go back to a level of technological capability when paper did not exist? I'd say that's probably a bit extreme, but I bet some people would say we should. And I have to admit, I have some sympathy with them. The thought of cutting down a tree is painful to me. The thought of clear-cutting old-growth forests is intolerable, absolutely agonizing to me. I refer you to this superb novel by Richard Powers: The Overstory, published in 2018.
No heat or light, unless you can find a way to harvest them from the sun. Of course, those morons think that when they plug in their electric vehicle, that electricity is coming out of the earth, just like that! How do we build solar panels and wind turbines etc? Fossil fuels!
I have been a lifetime believer in liberal values since the Kennedys, but Biden and Pelosi and company are the opposite of JFK and RFK. JFK hated the deep state, the military/industrial complex, and fought it. Biden embraces big pharmaceutical and its bureaucratic allies including CIA, CDC, etc. Kennedy built a fitness program based in healthy exercise aimed at winning a fitness badge; Biden destroys the kids fitness with lockdowns, dangerous masking( which pelosi was photographed not wearing, whike forcing 5 year olds to mask. JFK and RFK were free speech champions. Biden and Newsom and Pelisi used a respiratory virus as an excuse to muzzle free speech. JFK stared down Russia and won at the Cuban missile crisis. Biden created a conflict with Russia so he could write a 40 billion dollar check to his cronies in Ukraine, who ‘coincidentally’ had bought some expensive paintings from Hunter Biden, who does not know how to paint. JFK died fighting the deep state; Biden kills his own citizens (clot shots) to monetize the deep state. Lloyd Bentsen once gave a speech where he said “…Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine; and you, sir, are no Jack Kennedy.” Joe Biden, you are no Jack Kennedy, either, and JFK looking down on your treason does not regard you as a friend, or a democrat, or a liberal.
Bingo.
It wasn't a speech, that was a line in the Bentsen vs Quayle debate. The press was starting their slide into a hard bias against anybody Republican. No matter what party you are in you cannot look at what is in the white house today and not see the intentional destruction of our country and its values. Open borders, climate "emergency" hoax, fraudulent elections using dark money, ballot harvesting, drop boxes, and Dominion voting machines, with legacy media lies and big tech censorship, all brought to full bloom by the biggest plot against America (and the world) ever enacted: the plandemic. The proof and evidence that all these things (and more) are being brought to bear against the US is everywhere one looks, so obvious to people who can see it, and it's been taking many of our 300+ million people so damn long to wake up to the war raging around us. Most who don't see all this are intellectually lazy or oblivious or distracted or incredibly gullible, while others are participating in the destruction b/c they are angry at their parents or stations in life and are chronically on-line juggling their perceived slights and a sense of entitlement, or are just plain mentally ill; but these two chief categories comprise the bulk of the useful idiots who muddy the waters and keep the distractions coming while a healthy amount of truly evil people plot and plan and enact the destruction of the US, the most powerful nation the earth has ever seen, a nation that had, perhaps no longer has, the greatest hope of achieving a truly free self governing society, with a car in every garage and food on the table and a strong people who know there will be mistakes and hurdles but are ready to fight to preserve these ideals, all while honoring or serving or allowing the idea of a loving God. Two plus two equals four. Even with all the many bad, good, abstract, brilliant, odd, terrible, awful, dumb, and fantastic ideas that come up as we muddle through, always at the core of our existence: two plus two equals four.
Wow. That was stunning. And elegant. And true. Every word of it. Bless you. I wish there was a country full of you.
Duchess that is SO NICE of you to say, I needed cheering up b/c I just argued with an otherwise fairly smart friend, and wow you cheered me up.
Happy you are cheered up a bit. I hope you don't mind, I am keeping your words and if I ever use it, I will credit you. But I am really keeping because I don't think I have seen what has happened and is happening in this country so well expressed and summed up. Awesome in fact. It made me feel good to know there is at least one smart person out there who can both see and express what is happening to us.
So nice, and don't worry about the credit part, I just hope it will ring true to anybody who's stirring awake (I'd say most everybody on Mark's substack has been wide awake for a while!) Thanks again Duchess
I think back in the day there was closer to a country full of him.
You people are all very nice. Im sorry we are all going through this. Hopefully we are turning a corner, and substacks like this are absolutely helping.
All of which indicates to me that it is China.
The only explanation is these miscreant uniparty politicians are captured and or complicit. Beholden to China and accepting their rewards (power or money, or trafficked kids) as enough in return for crumbling the US from within.
I agree we are infiltrated and pretty much controlled by China and their select Manchurian candidates...although China is happy to let the WEF do a lot of damage, and live out their fantasies...for a time.
They are living in a fantasy...along with Blackrock, State street and VAnguard and their AI program taking over the US a chunk at a time...do they seriously think China will let them contnue, once they have brought everyone to their knees? Do the Gates, Schwab's etc of this world think they will continue to be useful to China after they have done what is needed?
Then they are stupider than we can imagine.
You do realize that after JFK there were no more liberals, right? Not Johnson, not Clinton, certainly not Obama.
Just like there has been no true conservative with the exception of Reagen, until Trump. But both these true conservatives went along with the Big Pharma Agenda...Regan with the Vaccine Injury Act transferring liability to us taxpayers, and Trump with the Warp Speed which was put in front of him in September of 2019.
It is enough to make anyone, Left or Right, weep.
Good points, although some would say Jimmy Carter was a true liberal, who actually called on the nation to lower thermostats to 65 degrees or less, rather than start a proxy or destabilizing war in the middle east, as is current US Policy. (Kuwait, Iraq, and the Caspian area for examples). Carter also advocated for improved CAFE standards( miles per gallon) way back in the 1970’s. Had that policy been followed until now, the Japanese car invasion would have been greatly lessened, and the entire phony ‘green’ industry ( Bill Gates spraying solar reflective chemicals, giant plastic solar panels which use tons of energy to create and will end as garbage, etc) would not exist. Carter recognized the sovereignty of all nations in his foreign policy, and both Yassir Arafat and Menacham Begin were willing to listen to him. So an argument could be made for Carter.
RFK was a liberal, but died from one bulket shot behind his ear, despite the ridiculous Sirhann Sirhan blind. ( “It was a foreigner!”)
RFKjr is a true current liberal(albeit hated by neo-liberals who parrot television with amazing accuracy) His Waterkeeper/Riverkeeper has maintained key waterways in hundreds of locations, without most of the bureaucracy most charitable organizations are bogged down with. RFKjr also saw through W Bush, who was put in power by Cheney and Rumsfield.
But your points are correct, and appreciated.
My uncle worked at Oak Ridge right after he came home from Vietnam. You don’t ever mention Carter to him, he becomes enraged. He says that during his time there, Carter sold nuclear secrets all over the globe. He said it was a parade of foreigners.
Makes me wonder who’s “touring,” the site today, on our dime.
True-I was answering the question “ has there been a truly ‘liberal’ president since JFK.? Carter was, in the context of his times, and I attempted to explain that, using some specific policies as examples. Was he a ‘good’ president is a different question, and I was not attempting to answer that.
Yep. 😢
Biden didn't say that. It was Lloyd Bentsen.
It's more than the so-called left. It includes RINO's, UNI-party & Neocons. And it ain't "The Left", there are a lot of populists on the real left, i.e. Glenn Greenwald, Jimmy Dore, Aaron Mate, Max Blumenthal, Fiorella Isabel, Russel Brand, many others. What used to be liberals have morphed into Neoliberals which are the corporate owned liberals: pro-war, pro-censorship, anti-free speech, identity politics on steroids, create division, subvert democracy, Wall st all the way, Main st down the sewer.
"Left" and "leftist" are no longer useful terms, as they're divisive and (as you note) misleading.
Yes. You are either a totalitarian, or for individual liberty. There is no more Left or Right. Except the Dems in my country haven't realized it yet...especially my age group (over 60). They will go to the chambers saying the right did this, and will vote for the devil himself if he has a D after his name. Totally incapable of realizing the world has changed since their youth.
Not sure we have to have such an extreme and two-polar choice to everything... Either waaaay over here, or waaaay over there? I think even now there's always room for some gray area. After all, do we EVER have just two points of view?
Indeed. And it seems pretty clear that nearly ALL the vocabulary is turned upside down, to further confuse everyone and set them at each other... Divide and Conquer... it works.
Yes; and I voted all republican in 2020, because they were more in line with my liberal beliefs; freedom of speech,(1st amendment), no forced medical procedures ( Nuremberg and Siricusa, both of which the US is signatory to). For me, those are classical liberal values. Many current “neoliberals” or “ progressives “ are just parroting television, while the policies they are behind are quite the opposite of ‘liberal’-quashing free speech, destroying the poor and inner cities(lockdowns), favoring mega corporations over small businesses (lockdowns allowed Amazon to stay open, and forced local businesses to close). I stay loyal to policy(by the people, of the people, for the people), but not to party.
Fascists.
Right? And it’s been that way for a loooong time.
No matter red or blue they ain’t workin’ for you.
Earlier this year, Naomi Wolf was on Bannon discussing the midterms. Bannon was going on about the red tsunami, etc... and Wolf's body language said, "You idiot! Do you really think they're going to let us vote this year?! We're at war!" What she actually said wasn't much different: "Weather it's a variant, or a hot war, or famine...they'll keep us from voting this November."
To the no "guns, cars, meat, babies, arguments" I would add, "no money." I guess that's implied in all of the above. But as long as there is money -- an exchange medium of paper and coins -- there is a chance for exchange, economic growth, and with that the revival of those lost freedoms. The social credit system will finish off what is left of our freedoms. (There is now no cash in Norway -- no ATMs, just cell phones to buy your food.)
That makes our single most important freedom the right to own guns. All guns. So keep your powder dry, folks.
That social credit system will only finish us off IF WE LET IT. We don't have to do a damn thing "they" tell us. Our rights don't come from them, they are inherent, and inalienable. That means these psycho A-holes are NOT our masters. Not then, not now, not ever. FREEDOM.
God please hear our prayer.
That's the secret, that's why we have to begin now to teach EVERYONE to hate them, to castigate their minions, teach their paid servants to be subversive, tell the children to rebel against their propaganda spewing teachers, get people primed for revolution. When people are primed & ready, a spark will light the fire of revolution.
Well, sort of... I'm not going to teach anyone to hate. In my way of thinking, that's not a great way to do anything. Rebel, yes, stand up for ourselves, yes, stand up for the kids, yes, revolution... depends on what that means, exactly. I want a better life, not a bloody (and short) life. There are plenty of things we can do without hating anybody.
Well that is a difficult and touchy subject. Hatred is a human (& animal emotion) that exists for a purpose, albeit an ugly one. Would you hate Hitler? Would it be right to hate Hitler? If your family was exterminated by Hitler would you hate him and his minions? Which is worse hatred or 1st degree murder? Is the death penalty hatred or revenge? Is revenge better than hatred?
These Demons of Davos have already committed the mass murder of certainly over 10 million people, and if their plans succeed genocide to a level never before seen in human history. If that doesn't justify hatred I don't know what does.
I've had this conversation before... I understand hate, I feel hate, I get it. What I'm saying is, it's absolutely possible to stop evil without teaching or focusing on hate. I'm not saying that is EASY. I'm not saying it's LIKELY that we can all overcome it. I'm saying I don't want to FOCUS on it, and allow my spirit to be consumed by it. That's all. I struggle with this issue almost daily. I don't want to let my life be taken over by hate. I want to focus on the positive side of it, as in, Let's End This Evil, let's punish those who are responsible, whatever we decide, but not a mob murder spree. And let's work hard and find a better way to live, and figure out how to stop this from happening again. I'm NOT saying we should be soft on anyone, or do nothing. I'm for taking down the 5G towers, and putting these genocidal maniacs out of business. Stopping Big Pharma (pretty much) altogether. Ending the unending wars. I just don't want to FOCUS on hatred. I want to FOCUS on JUSTICE. It seems like a word game, but to me, words matter. Mindset matters. That's all I'm sayin. Cheers.
I know where you are coming from, and I agree mostly, its different in modern times. In ancient times, when someone did an act of evil you would pick up a stick and beat them. Now with these crimes against humanity it is far more complicated and a calm & patient mind is far more capable of fighting these demons.
What I do have a problem with is this new Neoliberal doctrine that "words matter". The old adage: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" has been reversed to "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but only words can hurt me".
So Pelosi claims " I don't hate anybody" but has no problem whatsoever throwing innocent, non-violent protesters in a brutal prison, where they are abused, even tortured, without even having been found guilty of a crime, for a year or more, with 2 already driven to suicide. But no she doesn't hate. I can guarantee you every one of those protestors would much rather Pelosi "hated their guts" than to have been brutalized the way they have been. So I stand by the reality that hate is much less a immoral act than to do an act of violence, which includes imprisonment or forced vaccination.
I agree, FREEDOM. But people will have to fight for it, and look at all of the people who went along with the masks, the lockdowns, the Pfizer injections. I am not sure just how many people will be willing to put their lives on the line for their freedom, they might choose security instead. But I think that when people are starving, there will be riots, and the government will lose control. That's when the rubber hits the road. I hope that we are in the critical mass of the population that will be victorious in this struggle to regain our freedom.
I hear you. But we have done VERY VERY little to stop this plague of psycho oligarchs killing us off and taking over. VERY VERY little. And it seems like there are so many people who are so unwilling to even consider anything positive without waiting around for starvation and mobs and riots. It's like living in a black & white, 2-D cartoon, with only two options for every situation, way over there, or way over here. It's kind of weird.
BabyKilling Leftists are only happy when innocent human life is extinguished. They’re very religious people, in fact.
Their religion is Death.
How about the "BabyKilling" rightists who stole the 2000 (and then the 2004) election, promising to stop abortion, and then, instead, invaded Iraq? How many millions—babies included—perished in their "war on terror"?
As long as you respond to this disaster as the member of a tribe, they'll play you like a violin.
Those 500,000 iraqi children dying was worth it, because we had to do something about those babies thrown from incubators. /s
Are you referring to the notorious Madeleine Albright comment?
And an infamous atrocity hoax pushed by the newspaper of record and the rest of corporate media.
Any child’s death is wrong. And, no, I don’t buy anyone’s talk. I judge on actions or the lack thereof.
There have been actions on both "sides" of our 2-party bullshit system. Both are corrupt, bought out by Big Pharma (HUGE part of the "baby killing") and the Military Industrial Complex... We've been played with by TPTB that control both sides for decades, and who have built the tech, bankster, and agro behemoths that are contributing to our problems, hugely. What it comes down to, I'd say, generally speaking, is the vast wealth of just a tiny handful of oligarchs running almost the entire globe, and certainly the entire "West." And of course, they blame the two entities that might stop them, the Russians and the Chinese. With the Patriot Act shredding our rights and bringing in the Surveillance State, and the NDAA making it LEGAL for our govt. to LIE to us (propaganda) and the thing that makes it all WORK SO WELL-- the crushing of our Free Press and the censorship of the Peeps and anyone else who threatens their Evil Paradigm, we've got a lot of work to do going forward. But first we have to put down this rabid dog of Globalism.
And we have to start by pulling the plug on AI. Starting with Aladdin.
I think the one way to make our burden lighter is to take down the internet. Not electricity, the internet itself.Without it, they cannot trade stock to make themselves richer electronically and amass huge fortunes..they cannot program the TV (let them do it live) and they cannot NUDGE us constantly all day long and monitor everything we do, say, go, spend, etc...they are using this vast information they have been collecting for YEARS on us. That gives me another thought...instead of food processing plants, they should concentrate on the huge banks of our data stored in Utah and NJ.
Right now, if we take down the Internet, we lose the ability for many, many of us to talk to each other. I think that would be not a good idea. What might be a good idea is to take it over.
That is true . On refexion lets just take put the hige data banks they have on us that nsa and google keep on us..20 years of e every search email posting etc. Everyone in the country. That would mess up their psychological ops on us...then we get someine clever to take dominion out before the elections...
Well said.
Well, we've found out it doesn't matter if no one wants it; it's "for our own good."
It does matter. It matters beyond anything the Bad Guys will ever understand.
WE have the power. WE do.
As Carroll Quigley pointed out back in the 60s in Tragedy and Hope, a population only has power inasmuch as it has access to the same weapons as the state. As soon as the state has more powerful weapons or better weapons technology, it's all over---authoritarianism follows.
I don't know about Carroll Quigley, but I do know there's never just TWO possibilities. Everyone seems to want to look at two, extreme, diametrically-opposed choices, and that's just not reality, in my opinion. There's always more than two.
But only united together. Separately, we are done for.
We don't have to have EVERYBODY. A reasonably good-sized minority can get the rest on board.
I "liked" your comment because I sincerely hope you're correct. I'm less sanguine than you are. The truth is we simply can't know what's possible. We can have hunches, hopes, and intuitions, but no one is free from his or her own individual, and hence incomplete, inherently faulty, perspective.
If I seem sanguine, it's only in the long-term sense of this plague (of evil)... I'm about to be evicted. My family is shattered because my brothers want me cut off from my parents. I live in a place where people are visibly hostile to me because I'm un-jabbed. I can't find work. I'm not very sanguine in the short-term.
You have my deep, heartfelt sympathy. I've been up against so much trauma and evil for so long it's a miracle I'm still alive. This is not the right space for me to go into details about it, though. For whatever it may be worth, I'll send you wishes for well-being and blessings of whatever kind are possible.
I am beyond shocked to hear you make this statement Mark Crispin Miller ... ?
'the reason why Democrats can't (really) win an election"
When it was you on Democracy Now in December 2008 speaking with Amy Goodman was when I learned GW Bush stole the White House twice ... using Electronic Voting Machines (hacked by Connell).
George W. Bush winning the POTUS was the direct result of Election Fraud - bought & paid for by Karl Rove - who hired Michael Connell to flip the votes in Florida 2000 (a steal from Al Gore in Florida) and this repeated again in 2004 (a steal from John Kerry in Ohio; election fraud again - paid for by Karl Rove, and carried out by Michael Connell) ... And, now today Dominion Voting Systems EVM will decide who is POTUS ...
When are we gong to hold them accountable ... the 1% that manufacturee EVM ... We need Paper Ballots - like Stephen Spoonamire has been screaming from the rooftops.
https://www.democracynow.org/2008/12/22/republican_it_specialist_dies_in_plane
Thanks for reminding me of what I said, and wrote, about the theft of the 2004 election. I wrote and said all that in hopes that it would jump-start a national discussion of the urgent need for radical reform reform of our abysmal voting system. I did NOT write and say all that in hopes that Democrats would stay in power forevermore—which is apparently your wish, which makes you a partisan, and not a champion of electoral democracy.
Do you actually believe the Democrats are popular enough to win the next election (if any)? Or do you think that they SHOULD win, no matter how few people vote for them? If so, you missed the basic point of all my work back then.
Mike Connell, R.I.P., was a conservative Republican who tried to blow the whistle on the theft that he'd facilitated, because he thought such theft was wrong. It WAS wrong—and it's just as wrong when Democrats do likewise; and Stephen Spoonamore agrees.
I apologize, I likely was not clear in what I tried to relate ... I'm not pro-Democrat ... I despise the DNC - I may be a registered Democrat - BUT I did not even bother voting in 2020 POTUS election ... It's all hocus pocus. The 1% elites choose who they want to serve their (right, or Ieft) agenda - they flip flop - the results every other election to confuse us into believing elections are real. I'm sorry _ I just assumed after you did the story on Connell/Rove - I just assumed you realized elections are stolen; because all EVM are hackable.
I saw that Al Gore made a vile comment this morning, comparing skeptics of Climate Change to the Uvalde police who stood outside cowering from one shooter.
John Kerry, I believe, is a friend and guest of the WEF.
Had either of them defeated Bush (lawfully or unlawfully) in 2000 or 2004 would it really make any difference to where we are today?
Is it safe to assume you're unaware GW Bush, Dick Cheney orchestrated 9/11? along with Israel's Mossad [the Art Students that lived on the 92nd floor of the WTC & wired all 3 buildings WTC1,2 & 7 (the Soloman Brothers Building) with fuses & nanothermite. This led to NSA and violation of our human rights to privacy. I imagine life would be very different.
Actually, there's a very strong possibility that 9/11 was carried out with a secret weapon that still hasn't been adequately "outed." Something that does what Dr. Judy Wood calls "Dustification." She was smeared, ignored, and pretty well kicked to the curb, even though she was highly qualified to do what she did, which was to investigate and find the cause of the Twin Towers' and Building 7's collapse. No thermite was ever discovered to have been used. There's a very interesting video about this, in which the whole Architechts and Engineers is shown to be questionable, maybe controlled opposition, which would make sense (in my view). Anyway, check it out... Actually, this is a different one, but I think it's very interesting, too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML8CJp9Ha14
they - "Gelatin" Art Students actually took photographs of themselves standing on a balcony they made after removing one of the windows on the 91st floor - they hired a helicopter to bring the photographer to film all the Israeli's involved in the controlled demolition of the WTC Toweres (1,2 & 7; the Soloman Brothers Building) ... I suppose to ensure 'history' was accurately recorded and proper acknowledgemnet made to those responsible for the crime (that they are obviously very proud of) ... https://youtu.be/-its6EG3DwA
nanothermite was found throughout ground zero and dozens of truckloads of debri was carted off to China where the steel remains was sold at a loss. The Israeli Art Students that called themselves 'Gelatin' - they used a gelatinous substance to store the nanothermite in BB#18 [item number] fuses - thousands of BB#18 fuses were wired throughout all 3 WTC Buildings by 14 "Art Students" that lived on 91st floor for years (later learned were Mossad agents - one with a degree in explosives) https://www.winterwatch.net/2017/09/world-trade-centers-infamous-91st-floor-israeli-art-student-project/
I'm not sure how much I believe the idea of 9/11 being orchestrated. For many years I was very skeptical of such a notion. After these last two years, I might be more open-minded on them. But should we take it on faith that the same events may not have happened under Gore as well, perhaps for the same reason?
the UK is now choosing between two candidates for prime minister. Both of them have ties to the WEF. Clearly that election is a farce. Whoever wins, the Brits lose.
the Art Sudents that called themselves "Gelatin" made sure to document their work (i.e., placing nanothermite; a military-grade expolosive capable of melting steel - inside a gelatinous substance that stabilizzed the explosive till 09/11/2000 in the morning hours when WTC #1 & WTC #2 fell in a free fall & WTC #7 did the same at 5:24pm when Larry Silverstein is recorded instructing them to "Pull it" - a demolition term) ...
they called it a "B-Thing" because the fuses they used were BB#18 (the item number; hundreds of boxes of these remote controlled fuses are seen stocked - hundreds of boxes on top of each other) on the 91st floor ofnthe WTC #1 - where 14 Art Students lived for years ... https://www.gelitin.net/projects/b-thing/
Excellent points. Right ON.

NYT? Really? Hmm. I might believe something they publish, in a pig's eye. ;)
Murkans are trained to be like the opposite sides of a football game... my team, right or wrong. The two-party system totally sucks, but it works well if both sides are corrupt and are run by one, bigger, utterly despicable team... oligarchs. This coup d'etat going on is a global one, but Murka was delivered from democracy some time ago, and we had only an illusion of one... pretty much gone since the early 60's... or earlier. We've never had true DIRECT DEMOCRACY, even though we seem to have come close a few times... I'm not sure of the details, but the overall picture is the oligarchs have been around long before we were the USA, and they're stomping the hell out of us now.
I am totally on board with paper ballots, with a day only to vote, and tons of high school kids to COUNT the votes watched over by the National Guard. Dr. Shiva Ayyadurrai's good idea. As long as we have machines to count the vote, mail in voting absentee, drop boxes etc. There will be no fair elections ever again.
and the Exit polls be by a trustworthy public owned company ... not some private corrupt Corporation like "Edison".
Exot polls are to be ignored. The numbers on. The tv screens come from something and as we all saw them flip in sn instant..that would mess them up...and any block of votes where the numbers go down are to be immediately cast out. You can see the actual counts go down on a candidate..that cant happen in any election but it did last time
exit polls are critical BECAUSE ... if the winning party's winning % is = or > 2% , and higher - than the loosing party gets to demand a recount of the paper ballots. This is the law in every state. The screen #'s are manipulated all the time
That's assuming ANY of it is legitimate. I suspect most of what we see and are told is pure BS... Dog n pony show for the Ever Unsuspecting Zombies.
True enough! A few relevant short (5-30 min) videos from PragerU are below:
* Would JFK be a conservative today (Witt)? https://www.prageru.com/video/would-jfk-be-a-conservative-today
* Left but Really Right (Gutfeld) https://www.prageru.com/video/left-but-really-right
* Fireside Chat Ep. 1 - Obama Legacy and Liberalism vs. Leftism (Prager) https://www.prageru.com/video/fireside-chat-ep-1-obama-legacy-and-liberalism-vs-leftism
ha ha! Would JFK be conservative today? No. The Kennedy family were bootleggers (patriarch Joe was), phonies, liars, election cheats, skirt chasers and social climbers. And none of them were very bright. They were as corrupt as the Biden family. Sorry, but I cannot romanticize that family. Today they would be right in on the "Green New Deal" and raking in cash from China and the Ukraine.
What??? Where do you get all that? Yeah, way back there might have been bootleggers... but... JFK was our last real hope. The Evil Ones took him out because he was interested in sovereignty for the USA, and not being the Crown's military arm. He was on the side of the People. No, he wasn't utterly PURE, men chase skirts sometimes, but that doesn't make them EVIL. Killing vast numbers of human beings, even babies and children, that's EVIL.
We have to agree to disagree. There was never any substance to the Kennedys. They would have gone along with whatever benefited them, in my opinion.
It's okay to disagree. No worries. I will just say this: The people that took out JFK and RFK and MLK, and FDR, and all the other people who were trying to stand for Freedom and sovereignty of the US, and so many, SO MANY, who were trying to get true Democracy, were killed off by the same people, or of the same group of people, that are doing what's happening now, that supported and trained Hitler, that have killed so many in the Middle East, Africa, India... So it's a much bigger picture than the foibles of any few people... It's a centuries-long tyranny of evil that is now making a play for Humanity, for the Earth, and for Life as we know it. Chasing skirts just pales in comparison.
the Nazi military tanks were manufactured by FORD ... Gerald - from the USA - so if that doesn't prove how convoluted the players/profiteers in wars are ... including WWW ... then nothing else will convince us. All wars are just a "rich man's game" -- they present false flags and profit in the billions these days & the people - like idiots - believe their 'false flag' lies every time. I will never understand why? ... or hiw?
Yeah. Exactly. It's about power, wealth, and control. Time for that shit to end, because this time, they've gone toooooo far, and we're onto them, and we will never be able to UNKNOW what we've found out in the past 2 1/2 years. And they are too arrogant and full of BS to realize how they've begun their own demise by trying to conquer us. Maybe Americans are too stupid to get off their ass, but the rest of the world, and especially the victims of actual wars, RECENT wars, know how this goes and are not sitting around on SS (not that I don't LIKE SS).
Joe Kennedy the Patriarch was a rogue ... but all the children, who were given great care by Rose. Rose paved their way to having good character, a moral & social conscience ... Being "Irish Catholic" just meant that their roots were within Celtic tradition and in the Kennedy male culture, they may have chased skirts, but they adored women, and were always chivralous and that set them high above the GOP's view on women; misogynistic. Robert F. Kennedy; a Civil Rights Activist - was one of the most decent human beings on the face of the planet. You may not have had the chance to ever learn anything about the Kennedy's; since any views "anti-corporate world domination' is silenced and hidde from the public.
No phone no lights, no motor car
Not a single luxury
But oligarchs relax in yachts
And jabbing doesn’t cease.
And jabbing doesn’t cease.
Hahaha, so true. As I was told by a waiter in a restaurant when I asked him why they replaced their printed menus with a QR code, "You shouldn't use paper anyway because it's bad for the environment." So, we can add, "no paper."
Yet, I saw the other day that Germans are buying wood-burning stoves because they are losing access to energy to heat their homes.
Nothing says "Green" more than having to chop down forests for firewood.
They said they wouldn't buy Russian gas, then Russia reduced their gas. Now they're crying.
Trump pointed out this would happen.
A 9-year-old playing a game of Risk could predict this would happen.
Many years ago, a friend told me that after he died he'd like to be incarnated as a tree. That sounded noble and beautiful to me for a moment or two. Then I asked him, "But what if you were destroyed by people who wanted wood pulp from which to manufacture paper?" He replied, "That'd be fine with me, as long as the paper was used for a work of art."
Not sure I get the relevance
We can ask ourselves this question: "If human technology is bad for Gaia, or 'the environment,' how far do we want to go in defining technology?" Cutting down trees to make wood pulp in order to manufacture paper is a fairly new technological invention, if you consider humanity's entire existence on Earth. Should we go back to a level of technological capability when paper did not exist? I'd say that's probably a bit extreme, but I bet some people would say we should. And I have to admit, I have some sympathy with them. The thought of cutting down a tree is painful to me. The thought of clear-cutting old-growth forests is intolerable, absolutely agonizing to me. I refer you to this superb novel by Richard Powers: The Overstory, published in 2018.

When it comes to elections, I tend to agree with George Carlin:

Trying to share this comment on my Facebook but absolutely can't after trying six times! Is that me or the Facebook that's at fault?
I bet it's Facebook.
It finally made it on my Facebook and allowed me to share! Took damn long, though.
