When your .gov is just gangsterism running a bust out on existing services, don't be shocked when things stop working.

Turns out nobody wants to be a bugman crushed by taxation after all. Who'da thunkt???

Korea was a useful beard for the Japs, so it prospered. The Poles have no need for such things; Ukraine's ultimate fate will be misery followed by partition.

Did anyone learn anything? Time will tell.

The funny thing is that the West itself couldn’t keep Surkovism going for long.

The nihilism ended up being too much. And so, they had to create new causes and religions like SJWism and the Climate Cult to give the moral busybodies purpose and a means by which to harass normal people. These same types would be chest-clutching, Jahowa-worshipping, witch-burning Puritan church-ladies in another century. Not everyone can be a drug dealer and a house-flipper like Surkov envisioned. So, even though he is a genius propagandist, apparently, all he really did was copy post-Cold War America and now Putin’s people are belatedly realizing that America has moved on and their trendy progressive views from the 90s and 00s are considered literal fascism. Really, these clever masters of the universes are now the butt of a joke that they don’t even understand. They thought that no one cared about anything anymore! They convinced themselves and the rest of the country to not care either! And now what are they to do when they’re suddenly set up to be this century’s great moral foil to the heroes on their sacred anti-Amalek holy Crusade?

Pelevin says that power rests on bayonets and now the Moscow elite all stand a chance of getting sodomized by bayonets before this is all over. I may not be a high-brow art guy myself, but I can say that the situation that the Kremlin finds itself in now is what I would categorize as “fat people falling down stairs” levels of funny.

Rolo just knocks it out of the park here. Read the whole thing!

Of course, US fingerprints are all over it, as expected.

Meme Magic becoming real RE "Punished Trump"?

Although Trump’s legion of enemies in the political and media firmament would probably regard Rall’s reaction as incomprehensible, the point he is making is a very simple one. In recent years, enormous numbers of Americans, possibly even a considerable majority, have come to regard our country’s ruling elite establishment as their deepest, sworn enemy. The massive vilification of Trump in such quarters indicates that those elites fear Trump as their most dangerous foe, so many voters may eventually conclude that the enemy of their enemy is at least worth a casual vote on the November ballot.

Ron's quite clearheaded to see the ultimate consequences:

I fear that all too many democratic or semi-democratic governments around the world will now eagerly seize upon the innovative electoral strategy pioneered by our own Democratic Party and henceforth use judicial means to eliminate their political rivals....

America’s political system is facing an enormous crisis of legitimacy, perhaps just as serious and potentially fatal as the one that brought down the old USSR in the early 1990s. Our horrendous budget and trade deficits seem permanent but clearly unsustainable, we recently suffered the highest inflation in four decades, and three years ago we experienced the worst urban rioting since the 1960s, as well as the largest spike in the national homicide rate since record-keeping began. We have spent the last eighteen months fighting a losing proxy-war against nuclear-armed Russia on Russia’s own border, astonishingly reckless behavior that would have been unimaginable at the height of the old Cold War. The Covid epidemic took more than a million American lives and last year I argued that the calamity was closely analogous to the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster that played such a major role in the collapse of the Soviet Union a few years later.

Events certainly seem to be trending to a Weimar style collapse; The race communists will start shooting once SSI payments exceed the $2k in asset limit (and make nobody eligible) I imagine.

Spoiler alert: IQ is involved

Au contraire. The Chief Justice of the United States is not stupid. He knows that there is no way to end race communism with a court order. The fact that it took over the country—the public sector and the private sector; federal, state, local and corporate—not only without any legal approval, but directly in contradiction to civil-rights law—which not only is colorblind, but requires colorblindness—tells us that no law and no court order has the power to defeat this terrible force.

Banania clearly has not yet read either "The constitution of no authority" or Prof. Hasnas' "Impossibility of the rule of law". His response here is reformist pablum that fails to address the core point (above) entirely. The take that he's a weasel with no strong views whatsoever that is angling for beltway jobs seems about right. This is not to say Molds himself is anything special; He's reheated Hoppe with a side of impregnating ethots, lol

I mean it was obvious the spooks are all over it. Otherwise why would the core editor cabal be a bunch of pedos?

Insofar as one can be, at least. I mean, he's 100% aligned with the permanent state so of course they recognize him to be authority. Tons of other gems in here.

RIP. Nobody can say for sure why a man ends himself, but their vile railroading of him must have had quite a sizable part in his decision.

Looking increasingly like it. Amazing news for fusion, and many other areas.

Hopefully this allows for the creation of allows with even less thermal expansion/reduction. If we could make flexible seals that are invar, space flight would be massively improved.

LOL, paper returns still winnin'

Extreme spending coupled with extreme indebtedness, while it can juice in the short term, will increasingly strangle the economy under the weight of interest payments. This is why hyperinflations inevitably happen, as the dose of spending must necessarily escalate perpetually to avoid this strangling effect of ballooning interest payments crowding out all other activity. Hyperinflation does so as well, but not right away, so it is of course the easy choice.

VOICE DOES NOT WORK, IT HAS NEVER WORKED, IT WILL NEVER WORK

These people are thick. Of course people want to escape. One wrong move socially means potential imprisonment, expropriation or at best exile from your situation. The problem is that we live in a damned police state and raise kids in a regime of zero tolerance.

If the only world you are allowed to live in, the only game you can play is fake and gay; don't be surprised when people take their ball and go home rather than playing. Sure it misses the mark, and real life is quite fulfilling. Doesn't change the fact that it's precisely the turds whining about the new generation that authored or did nothing to stop the system they suffer under.

It's beyond hilarious to see people who should know better (the study about how people and animals do drugs when life is hopeless is rather well known, after all) not understand this. Greedy capitalists can't slang dope to the kids if they don't want it in the first place. If you aren't making the world they live in a better alternative, you are part of the problem.

The outlawry of the "angry patriot ghost faction" brings to mind Hitler's rebuttal to Otto Wels in the reichstag on the passing of the enabling act. Going Vae Victis on a huge subset of the domestic population has far-reaching consequences.

The younger generation figures out .gov is the enemy, and wants you dead, your kids raped and in a gulag. They have yet to understand the only path to victory is simple; just keep breathing in and out longer than the bad guys. The libertarians are right, Exit is the only thing that ever works. You already see this with the internal migration amongst the states; when the tyranny centralizes and is made mandatory nationally we'll then see a brain drain followed by an East German lockdown.

Surely people defending covert biological weapons research wouldn't lie to me!

Seems like a trend of having nominally positive rulings for freedom with no actual impact on the bureaucracy's behavior. I've largely concluded that the Judiciary is essentially powerless now.

Author correctly recognizes that the fundamental instability of their constitutionless system is the core strength. The trouble of course that has lead them here in the first place is that "the people suck", or more correctly their elites do. As such their system does need fundamental reform in such a way that it no longer produces the human refuse currently filling Parliament.

Frankly, if the peasants could just learn about these psy-ops in general and understand the frequency with which they are employed by the social engineers over and over and over again with almost no variation, maybe just maybe, something would finally change for the better in the world because they wouldn’t fall for obvious scams so easily and drag us into them as well.

But I am not holding my breath.

Great insight that Z/Qanon stuff is just good ol' "Operation Trust" run by a bunch of thieves running a bust-out which ends in national suicide. War as always, remains a racket.

ChokePoint goes worldwide. Life in the USSA and it's latter-day warsaw pact

As expected. The only actual solution is to overturn the execrable CRA.
