So let me get all this straight.

The genocidal nation of Israel, whose total population is < 10% of that of the USA, now totally controls US foreign policy and 'antisemitism' policy.

The USA has a President calling for the pardoning of a genocidal war criminal, who is now waging imperial wars of expansion extending into Africa.

This is despite US public opinion being firmly opposed to Israeli criminality, meaning their leader does not represent them.

Trump reminds me of Neville Chamberlain in his craven appeasement of a little nazi.

I think the number of actual humanscontrolling "Israel" and theUSis just a very few, and they know each other. The "nation" is a corral for public perception, but the real owners are not in the corral. Their cowboys are at the gates...

The appearance of "democratic governance" is falling away as the pace of conflict, leading into financial collapse (part-2 of 2008-2009) quickens, and the ability to hide it with pleasant-lies falls away. Everybody knows we are lied to now, but the actual truth is hard to suss out, as always.

I suspect Hitler was the personally nicer man, compared to Netanyahu, but the years of taking amphetamines in a very high stress situation took their toll, as well as power-corrupting, of course.

It is too late to sort that out now. Churchill and Chamberlain were a good-cop, bad-cop tag-team, right?

History gets weirder and more interesting when you dig under the surface.

Roosevelt really wanted to bring down the British Empire, and ultimately did, posthumously, and after it metastasized into the UN, World Bank, IMF and Washington/CIA, along with the "Operation Paperclip" Nazi talent, who the Bush, Harriman and Dulles families in the US had always liked a lot...

Roosevelt "died funny" just as he was guiding the chariot-of-state to victory over the UK...

Stalin was absolutely convinced that "Churchill's gang" had poisoned him, and told FDR's son that. 3 attempts to get an autopsy on FDR were all thwarted.

FDR was a sociopath himself, of course, and forced the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor, in order to get the unwilling US into the european war, and ignore Japan for a couple of years.

This was laid out by US Navy Commander McCollum, who had grown up in Japan, and who FDR tasked with determining what actions would induce the Japanese Empire to attack the US. The McCollum Memo somehow still exists as an original paper document. FDR followed it, and tracked the Japanese navy across the Pacific, pulling the aircraft carriers out of Pearl Harbor 2 weeks before December 7, 1941, and pulling out the rest of the modern ships 1 week later. He kept the local commanders in the dark, to assure maximum American casualties. The Japanese did not keep radio-silence. He and the Dutch monitored their trnsmissions and had broken their code.

Here is that memo, and a bit more of that history: https://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/McCollum/index.html

Just some random thoughts - Trump kept saying that the attack on Putin's residence was "not the right time". I think the US, UK, EU all knew this was going to happen and were just caught off-guard. I think the attack was expected to kill Putin, and Zelensky's wish that "someone" perish was meant to be triumphantly prophetic. If I keep that in mind, I do wonder why the West thinks getting rid of Putin will be some sort of victory, when it looks like Putin's staff is more hard-line about the war than Putin is. I do not think that the UK, for example, would try to kill Putin without knowing who would step into the vacuum. And many of us have said that Zelensky and the West would get more and more desperate for a victory. Russia seems to be really ramping up the war, maybe intending to get as much done as possible before any peace deal. IMO and all that, of course. I just think it strange that Trump said this was not the right time. When would be the right time? And I keep in mind that Trump fully expects himself to be the winner here, one way or another. Putin will not bend the knee, so I wonder what the warmongers' plan B is. Rubio is a warmonger, and, IMO, believes he has to be the tough guy now, not the sweaty mess who gave that SOTU rebuttal speech. Dangerous times for all of us.

Edited to add = looks like more drones were sent to Moscow during Putin's new year celebration and speech. Is the West just throwing violent temper tantrums now?

The interests that want to kill Putin want the war to continue, not end, right?

"Not the right time" came out of Trump's mouth. I will quickly admit thatI don't know what was in his mind to prompt that, another Trump-Rorschach test.

I suspect that European old money losing will leave some spoils for Trump, Putin and Xi, plus the European nationalist leaders to divide, or at least let them declare "victory".

Rubio is a Cuba-hating Cuban-American, wholly-owned by Zionist billionaires... I think he's more "intelligent" in a narrow way than I used to. He was foist upon Trump, as Truman was foist upon Roosevelt.

Fingers keep getting pointed at MI-6 as stirring the pot to keep war going. The UK has been supplying Ukraine with some drones, and is bound to have agents at high levels within the Ukrainian military and other departments. They are able to provide targeting and other technical assistance.

The Cuban community is divided about Rubio, because Rubio wrote a book that claimed his parents fled Castro when they certainly did not, they came to the US quite on their own because of better business opportunities. Sort of a "stolen valor" thing.

Just saw something that said so far the Dem candidates for 2028 nomination will be AOC, Walz, and Newsom. Even putting aside that voting for a candidate is actually voting for a party, and the candidate is certainly not going to buck the party, I will vote for Trump's third term before I would vote for any of them. Would not even sit it out. Would not be surprised, at this point, if a Democrat introduced a bill to allow foreign-born candidates to run for president, under the "racism!" flag.

"Stolen Victimhood", perhaps?

Found your blog via the Automatic Earth some years ago. Great job with the links to important stories not covered by mainstream media.

I enjoy the pics of you working your homestead. But worry about the lack of PPE. Gloves at a minimum when using saws or other power tools.

Thanks Kevin. I treat power tools with great respect and maintain focus and clarity of mind.

Why would you recommend gloves that a saw blade might catch?

I'm curious. I have always strictly avoided the use of gloves with any power tool.

I have taken care of many saw and chainsaw injuries over the decades, and always hold the intention to avoid injury when starting any cut.
