I'm still partially in shock from some of the Epstein revelations. I knew we were in decline but.... sigh. Mossad Agents Governing America. This is what you get when you almost completely cut loose "free market" forces.

Can we react against it or not?

I really think that is the question now.

I didn’t write it….

Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul – all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been – arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn’t just lose its soul – it sh*ts out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader

It's Kunstleresque, but a little coarser. I don't think it's Kunstler.

The ghost of Hunter Thompson.

Not quite trippy-bizarre enough.

;-D

I’m skeptical. We need major reforms, economic and financial.

Thank you for the Escape Key link. Illuminating. The MSM chasing the salacious dribs and drabs busy missing the bigger story. On purpose of course.

Another terrific set of links! Where do you get the time?

Thanks again

I'm a fast reader and currently fascinated with events in our world as history unfolds.

China just banned ALL investment in Israel, and announced that the death penalty would be applied to any and all child molesters...As A/C concluded, looks like Mossad was involved in the attempt to overthrow Xi...no doubt the rogue Generals talked before they were executed....

John Day MD's avatar

That is plausible, but still uncertain. Chinese purges are a regular thing, and the country is stressed, supposedly going into recession. Xi grew up with his dad being purged, but not killed.

And now China has announced that it is 100% backing Iran under any circumstances....

Your move, tiny Israel....

John Day MD's avatar

What means "100% backing Iran" in Chinese, I wonder...

"A Russian blogger writing anonymously under the name Military Informant in the Telegram messaging app said that both the Starlink connections on Russian drones and Starlink satellite internet communications for troops at the front had been disrupted."

Sure it was? I can't imagine a super power like Russia of the US or China would be dependent on a private server for its military comms especially during a hot war. So they went from washing machine chips to power their missiles and such to using a private company that has no national alliance as their platform to target the enemy? Seems plausible if you don't stop to think it through.

John Day MD's avatar

Odd as it is, what seems to have happened with Starlink was that it did not effectively discriminate as to users, and Belarus made a bunch of bootleg Starlink stations that slid in somehow.

This was not anticipated, but the opportunity to use this was pounced upon, as it was a superior form of communication with attack and surveillance drones, and also for troops in battle.

It has now, finally, been techincally removed, but hijacking Starlink was a great boon to the Russian military while it lasted.

"Saudi Arabia Says It Will Not Retaliate if Iran Targets Only U.S. Bases, Not Saudi Cities​"

Sounds like an open invitation for a false flag!

John Day MD's avatar

But what false-flag will be the bestest false-flag for Israel?

Can anything work now?

I guess the title refers to Epstein's involvement in the Covid shit. But there are also documents in the Epstein files that point to the possibility that he was involved in 9/11.

https://plebeianresistance.substack.com/p/kashoggi-epstein-maxwell-and-911

I still consider him an idiot so I'm not sure how either was done with his involvement, a strawman for somebody else I guess.

John Day MD's avatar

Read the Escape Key article fully.

Epstein arranged EVERYTHING for 30 years for global elites.

He was brilliant, clearly a genius, and if he is still alive, I assume that he is still brilliant.

I don't know about 9/11 involvement, but he moved in the circles that were forewarned. I would have an interest in whether he shorted American Airlines stock in early September 2001, for instance. Some did. It payed off.

There were other short-sales which profited, too.

The really powerful people wanted the "global war on terror", which happened to target Muslims with oil, or strategic minerals and heroin...

Richard Seager's avatar

I had Escape Key blocked, can't remember why. But that article on Epstein is 80 hours of work. And he has more or less daily articles before that.

Richard Seager's avatar

I saw him interviewed by Bannon talking about working in the finance industry in the 1970s. It seemed clear that he had not worked in the finance industry to me and seemed rather thick.

John Day MD's avatar

Thank You.

Yeah, he clearly did not "work in thefinancial industry", but was a "financial advisor", discovered by David Rockefeller, and represented Rothschild family interests, so he was a covert Kissinger or something.

Richard Seager's avatar

I'm not sure what he was. Seems rather strange that he became so prominent. But then maybe the establishment are all quite thick.

John Day MD's avatar

David Rockefeller liked to discover and employ rare talent. He discovered economist Michael Hudson, who was working his way through a music degree in college, doing something at a bank... Hudson was brilliant at balance-of-payments analysis, of course, but nobody knew that yet.

Isn't an Israeli attack on Iran going to trigger catastrophic consequences, like closing the Strait and clobbering Tel Aviv, that an American attack would?

Depleting water aquifers are a big problem in many countries, and there isn't a solution...Or as I usually say, it's nothing that another 100,000 year glacial period won't cure....

John Day MD's avatar

Israel has no really good options, even if they don't mind slaughtering millions of people.

Richard Seager's avatar

Those millions of people will be Israeils. Best for them to leave now.

John Day MD's avatar

That's the blowback to slaughtering millions of "goyim", isn't it?

Richard Seager's avatar

People are easily propagandised and Israelis are the most propagandised people on the planet. But they still have friends and families and an interest in staying alive. If Israel does fall it's going to take a bit of effort to de-program them.
