The United States of Go Figure

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

“Forced obedience to obvious lies is the essence of totalitarianism. It’s the ultimate flex for psychopaths.”Dr. Toby Rogers

You realize, don’t you, that everything going on around the Ukraine fiasco on the NATO side is completely insane? The folks running the US government — Barack Obama and his witches’ coven — started the whole thing over there in concert with a gang of corporate players (BlackRock, sundry oil-and-gas companies, Haliburton types, arms-makers, bunch of big banks), plus the dastardly WEF for “guidance” (ha!), looking to grab the mineral wealth of Ukraine and, ultimately, of Russia itself. Nice try. Didn’t work out. Tons of money pounded down a rat hole.

Now, the chatter is that we (NATO) “can’t afford to lose.” Yeah? But we’re losing. Russia will hold the eastern Ukraine provinces and what’s left in the rest of Ukraine will be a failed state drained of men under sixty able to work at anything, bankrupt, broken. It will take a century, if ever, for Ukraine to recover from all that and the West will have gained nothing. Anyway, that’s the true prospect. And so, the West’s “solution” to that humiliating quandary appears to be: start a bigger war, right up to and including nukes. That’s good thinking there, Butch, said Sundance.

Why the European members of NATO wanted to go along with this nickel-plated clusterfuck is an abiding puzzle of history now, like who exactly bumped off JFK in 1963. Germany, the Euro club’s biggest economy, stood by listlessly while America blew up its supply of affordable natgas (the Nord Stream pipelines), which was an act of war by us against Germany. Apparently, Olaf Scholz went to our CIA station in Berlin for a haircut one day and came out with a lobotomy, staring blankly through the whole affair like a Hinterwälder steer on the killing floor. Meanwhile, goodbye industrial economy! Nice knowing you. Looks like it’s back to the fourteenth century, living on rough black bread, sleeping with the cattle under your house for heat in winter, fighting jihadis inside your town walls. . . .

What is the purpose, you ask yourself, of this new world war we’re itching to start? And why now, exactly? The stupid answers may be the correct ones. To furnish an emergency pretext allowing “Joe Biden” (Barack Obama & Co.) to “postpone” the election? If so, I guess they want a hot civil war even more than WWIII, because that’s what they’ll get. Or is it just to complete the destruction of the USA, turning us into a failed state run by a tranny Mamluk-ocracy? Or is it, as Ed Dowd has averred, to cover up the imminent implosion of the US / Euroland debt debacle?

To provide cover for all that, the West held a fake peace conference at a five-star resort in Switzerland last week — flutes of Louis Roederer Cristal Brut with langoustine mousse in puff pastry boats . . . to die for! (and you just might) — and you know how serious the USA was because we sent our ace problem-solver Veep Kamala Harris, who cackled and hee-hawed her way through a session or two and then. . . just. . . split the scene, mysteriously. Russia, was conspicuously not invited, by the way. Whose idea was that?

Mr. Putin marked the occasion by issuing a sane proposal to commence peace negotiations so plain, simple, and straightforward that even “Joe Biden” might have gotten the drift: 1) withdraw Ukrainian troops from Donbas territory that has joined the Russian Federation, and 2) agree that Ukraine not join NATO. The US and NATO instantly rejected it, on grounds unspecified. According to The New York Times own search engine this very morning (June 17), the newspaper hasn’t published a news story on the Ukraine War for the past five days. Go figure . . . .

While Veep Kamala Harris was yukking it up over the peace hilarity in Switzerland, “Joe Biden” went to the far more important celebrity fundraiser out in Hollywood, headlined by the likes of actors George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and late-nite snarkist Jimmy Kimmel, that is, certified experts on geopolitical conflict, united in the cause of “saving our democracy” from “the dictator Trump.”

“Joe Biden” declared that Donald Trump was bent on “retribution. . . he’s gonna get back at the people.” Roger that. But I think he meant that Mr. Trump might open some inquiries into how come the Democratic Party and its Intel blob ran one debilitating lawless hoax after another on our country for the past eight years while bankrupting it and destroying the medical system, the legal system, the currency, higher education, and the US military, not to mention jailing thousands on fake criminal charges and letting ten billion alien mutts into the country, many of them jihadis with dubious intentions.

But never mind all that. $30-million got raised in Hollywood to continue the game of pretend that “JB” is running for reelection. Pretend is what actors actually do, you see. They’re really good at it, and your job is to play along, suspend your disbelief. That’s the essence of showbiz. Of course, that chunk of the US population no longer mesmerized by CIA-sponsored disinfo ops is somehow rising implacably in every poll. World War Three might be the only answer for that, after all. In any case, Barack Obama himself even came out of the woodwork to lead the cheerleading among the stars in LA. And when the time came, he took the dazed, vacantly grinning “President Joe Biden” gently by the elbow and assisted him in shuffling offstage, demonstrating to the whole world how things really work in the United States of America.

“A musical expression of a shrug:” ?

More like a pseudo-musical expression of a wet fart. Coltrane could make notes on a saxophone, but he was too fucked up on heroin to string them together into any kind of melody, and couldn’t repeat a line that he played to save his life. Davis hates white people so much that the hate shows on his face like a harelip.

Modern jazz sucks out loud for a fat man’s ass. No offense, of course.

For a couple hundred years the monarchs have been marching their excess males back and forth between western Europe and Russia. For a little over one hundred years they’ve managed to drag the good old U.S. of A. into their combo great culling and bankster boost. The good newz is that now, with their nukes, they can blow the fuck outta the planet and burn up millions of potential human threats to their monopoly on madness. Good times, good times.

NtroP, You know and I know what a cat’s paw is, but most readers do not. For clarification, edification and enhanced imagery, a cat’s paw (I prefer the more descriptive cat’s CLAW) is a short (12″) iron, crowbarish tool with nicely curved and sharpened claws on either side of a notch. It is used to remove stubborn nails in somewhat desperate situations by hammering it down and under the submerged head of said nail at the expense of the surrounding wood. The sharpness of the notch, curve and sharpness of the claws, along with a few sharp, choice words usually suffice to remove the mistakenly driven nail, the nail that has simply outlived its usefulness, or the nail that has refused to yield to gentler techniques.
What one learns early in life in carpentry stays and also applies to many other areas of life.

Up hea( the R is silent ) in the Pacific Northwest its been referred to as a “cats paw” for the forty years I’ve been a carpenter . I’ve learned that when some goon builds something wrong or fubar its somehow less annoying at least to me, just to pry the lumber apart just enough to get a metal cutting sawzall blade in between and cut the nails . Right now I’m setting cabinets and hanging doors in 60 apartments , boss had to have some goon crew of non” englishe'” speaking immigrunts come in and do the framing and now everything is a total fuck story . Lol. Its this illusion of” fast ” that people fall for over and over again . yeah its fast alright until all the problems associated with the shoddy workmanship and lack of attention to critical details ( like cabinet schedules, as in they don’t fit , rough openings for doors, as in they are wrong not to mention seriously out of plumb along with areas of the floor being seriously out of level ) comes back to haunt you %$#*!!! Oh sorry did I go off on a tangent ? My bad , oh and did I mention he hired” The God of all project managers” to produce this outcome ?

“Or is it, as Ed Dowd has averred, to cover up the imminent implosion of the US / Euroland debt debacle?”

I’m inclined to believe it’s the impending debt issue. SS and Medicare are going bankrupt, $34 trillion in debt while adding an additional $1 trillion every month. What better way to tell the American people to fuck off, we’re broke. Spend, spend, spend on unlawful and never ending wars, paying millions of illegal invaders double what SS recipients are receiving plus free housing, free healthcare, free food. Where do I sign up? Do you suppose I could sneak into Mexico then back into US and speak some bullshit and unintelligible language then I’d be taken care of for perpetuity?

This is actually the third time they are doing this.

WWI was used to cover up the bankruptcy of the United States of America Incorporated, which was a Scottish commercial governmental services corporation that existed from 1861 through 1907 (when it went bankrupt). They used WWI to cover up the bankruptcy of it and foisted off the debts of it and other European corporations onto the general populace.

They did the same thing when the United States Incorporated went bankrupt in 1934 using WWII to push off the debts again along with FDR’s policies like seizing gold to fund both the UN and the World Bank, along with birth registrations.

They’re doing the same thing right now when they’re trying to start WWIII with Russia, China and Iran because both the more modern/current versions of the United States of America Inc and the United States Inc are bankrupt (and have been since 2015).

I can only hope that people are smart enough this time to simply stand up and say no, that they won’t be participating in any more banker wars and if they try and force them to via conscription, that they’ll actively defend themselves and their families against what amounts to slavery.

I don’t have much hope that people will see this ruse at this time and even less that large groups of people will push back and finally say that is enough.

the entire ukraine fiasco is on display:
-a ‘peace conference’ that one of the combatants is not invited to and
-the immensely ignorant cacklecunt ‘representing’ our side, kamala harris (small letters intended for this microhuman) sent there to ‘represent’ us.

reads like a real serious attempt at peace, doesn’t it? the latest rendition of slavery in amerika – the ‘draft’ – serves up additional proof of how serious the peace overture is.

warning: when things get bad at home war has always been on the horizon. the difference this time is that the intended ‘victim’ is a bear with nukes whose history has shown the price it is willing to pay to stop aggression toward it. napoleon in 1800s and germany twice – 1914, 1940 – were beaten back with extraordinary sacrifice.

It’s not like this all just happened overnight. I was sounding the alarm in the early 1980’s and ignoramuses just ignored the warnings. More interested in their rising stock portfolios than the danger our nation was in. To this day, they are still more interested in which lesbian loving, constitution hating NFL team is leading the leftists. America was taken over by it’s enemies at the highest levels many many decades ago.
