Sure... and what about the influx of "migrants" being flown in to cities all around the country by our very own FBI, the deliberate destruction of our economy and currency, and George Soros's destroying of the rule of law by refusing to prosecute crimes with his bought and paid for AGs - this is a recipe for the death of a nation.
Holy crap, you aren't kidding... The conspiracy theory section at the top where the author absolutely skewers the mindless drones who shut down at the term:
"The term "conspiracy theory" is remarkably adept at turning off all critical thinking like a light switch in a large portion of the people I have personally met."
Yes and add "misinformation" ... that was my latest "friend's" goodbye to me, for the last time. I had attempted one too many times to give them a source other than CNN. Sad after 25+ years.
Yeah, if you click on the link to the article http://tritorch.com/NWO/ there is a big org chart titled "The American Empire and its Media." DC comics is included in the chart (as is Cartoon Network)
Ah ok thanks. The entertainment and the news companies are all owned by the same giant corporations and all have the same agenda to weaken, subvert, and corrupt the world.
If you'd like to see how incestuous all of this really is (a handful of people own or are buying up almost everything on this planet), you can watch this video: youtu.be/D2t4u_tEefM
Or you can find a broader view of the extremely precarious situation we are facing by going here: tritorch.com/takeover
I cannot recommend enough that everyone here read and then watch all of the videos in the takeover link. By the time you are done you will be for-warned and for-armed against what is coming.
Yes... Let's just hope that this continued grab at power will domino and eventually fall apart. It's hard to keep that many lies with that many people straight.
Yes, many are gullible and have been brainwashed and gas lit. My hope is though that as more segments of society start to speak out, such as now the truckers, more and more people will see what's going on as more and more people are directly touched and impacted.
or the cannon fodder when their overlords get rolling against the armed citizenry. Why waste the Fat Boys International and the other alphabets first in the opening general salvos. Lots and lots of globally available AK and AR platforms out there to equip these newbies...
After Covid, if someone doesn’t believe that there’s a group of humans that believe themselves to be superior to 99.9999% of people and who feel that they should rule over those people then that someone has slept through the past 2 years. Our “superiors” are not even hiding their existence anymore.
Besides Soros put Fink of Blackrock and Vanguard in the mix. Watch out for Open Door - Wall Street is buying up homes to crush the suburbs. All part of the global reset.
Military age males being of Hispanic or Middle Eastern ethnicity are flown to various cities in violation of the very laws Biden swore to uphold. This should be scaring the shit out of anyone who’s aware of this.
He called the Democrats political hit job on his response to Chinas covid biowarfare. He did NOT claim Covid itself was a hoax. That’s what Dems do. They fabricated the Russia Collusion hoAx.
Agreed--I know plenty of old school liberals who are just that--naive. And still hoping that Biden is going to save the world once he 'irons out what Trump caused". Sometimes naive is more dangerous than total ignorance.
I am tired of the "well meaning" excuse. What is happening now is actually the logical culmination of all the "well meaning" beliefs.
They are morally responsible for this. I for one will not allow the "we meant well, didn't know this would happen" excuse for destroying our society. They were warned constantly, but they knew what was best for us.... So now they own it.
You're welcome. Having done a fair amount of reading about the French Revolution, I can't view the royal family (Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette) as villains.
The Revolution went wildly off the rails. It need not (ideally) have been as ugly, brutal, and horrific as it ended up being. At the beginning of the Revolution, the King was in agreement with the first leaders of the revolution. He wanted there to be more democracy in France, a limitation on the power of the monarchy, (in other words, a constitutional monarchy, such as exists in the United Kingdom and other countries that were at one time pure monarchies), more political participation by the common people, protection of civil rights, etc.
As tends to happen, the initial, moderate, decent leaders of the revolution were repeatedly and increasingly overthrown by their more violent, extremist contemporaries. The moderate, humane revolutionaries were the first victims of the Reign of Terror, the first modern totalitarian regime, which became the template for all subsequent totalitarian regimes. It's a devastating tale! I could go on and on about it, but I'd be here at the computer all day. Best wishes to you.
Several years ago our then Republican conservative congressman (who of course then had to resign after a sex scandal) was having coffee with me (we hung out at the same coffee shop) told me the problem with at least Dems in the Pittsburgh area was that they still thought they were the party of FDR, Truman, and JFK (although the more I read about FDR the more I wonder), but the modern Democrat party was a bunch of crazies - although he did not name names it was clear he was talking about Pelosi et al
Do you ever wonder if they position people like that to get involved in sex scandals just so they can undermine the movement? Conspiracy theory alert.... :) Regardless, fortitude, morality, and willpower are key roles like that. No excuse for the failure.
Exactly. IIRC, there was a president that did some things with a staffer in the Oval office. Those things would have resulted in the direct firing of a CEO or would even require an executive at a major media company to step down, but when you are on the "right side" of the argument, you can just brush it aside.
Speaking as a native Pittsburgher, those Dems were plenty crazy even back in FDR's time. They just didn't have the 24-hr news cycle and omnipresent internet to make their craziness (and stupidity) so visible to all the world.
A signature move by Carter, a relic of imperialism. Land stolen by and occupied by us until its return in the late 70’s. After which the sky did not fall.
Accept for us engaging in wars mostly against brown people in the Middle East and tearing up these countries we have been relatively safe here at home. Threatening Russia though with our curious stand on Ukrainian NATO membership may not be such a bright idea. Safety at home make a hit with this one.
I am now a big fan of Gerard celente and Judge Napolitano. I am also, and have been, a proponent of being energy independent. Importing energy is dirty, alternative energy is dirty and unsustainable and importing it provides too much leverage to despot countries- including us
This is a good question. To take a shot at a possible answer, (1) it was built at enormous cost, therefore GIVING it away does not seem appropriate, (2) Panama is very corrupt; I was there a couple of years ago, my taxi got pulled over for no reason and the cop wanted - and got - a bribe, (3) there is always the possibility that whoever controls it will stop allowing the U.S. access, which kind of defeats the whole purpose for why it was built.
(1) Sunk costs don't matter. (2) As if there's no corruption in the U S. And Panama would be part of Colombia but for US action related to the canal. (3) Do you believe deep state interests wouldn't take action contrary to the national interest, for their private benefit?
PRC is all over the place, but why would they shut down a canal thru which much of their exports pass? (And I suppose they need the revenue.) For the US, alternatives exist including west coast ports and direct rail connection to Lazaro Cardenas.
Biden has been a bureaucrat who always could be bought. They all knew it. That's why he had to run for president so many times. This time he got in as a Trojan horse
There's a push on to have Biden do a cognitive fitness test, after all Trump was forced into it, and he passed. The Dems won't allow it...they are scared to death of "Giggle N Chief" waiting in the wings.
But the benefit is that there will be more push for state rights and hopefully real local control. On that issue I agree with Bernie’s platform. But not Bernie because he is a fake shown by his support of Newsom to defeat recall
perhaps...just heard that stated the other day on one of the media outlets I follow. Was not verified. Just remembered the mention at it stuck with me .What is your estimation on average?
Oh but hey my small govt pension check just got a 7% cola. About half of what the true inflation rate is to judge by the price of dog biscuits over the last year
Spending more, and getting less for it. I'm watching my retirement savings get stolen... now don't know if I'll be able to retire as planned. Let's Go Brandon!
Right! The canned chow I'd jazz my German shepherd's dry food with went from $1.09 a can to $1.79. Now she's getting calf's liver and I'm splitting it with her.
The dogs do hate him ! His first one in the White House bit everyone, had to get rid of him ?? Dogs and a lot of other animals have incredible instincts. They know if your NO Good !
Just an FYI. Everything I buy is substantially higher except for Costco's Kirkland brand dog food (40# beige bag). It's still a super bargain at ~$26. Unfortunately, their dog biscuits have gone up 30% in 3 months.
They changed the formula a few years or so on the Costco chicken flavored dog food. My dog got really sick from it after eating it for years. I confirmed that they did indeed change it from the counter rep at my store. A lot of people were returning it. I was so irritated!!
My friends and I are wondering if the Chinese are dumping toxins into the pet food again. All our dogs have developed food allergies over the past three months. :-(
In the vein of punishment fitting the crime... I’d like to imprison Psaki in solitary.... and have a recording of every single thing she said from the podium play in her ears night and day.
I have had very few private revelations, but I had one on election night 2008 when it was a certainty that Obama would win...'history will record that the election of Barack Obama is the greatest mistake the American people ever made." When we survived through his two terms I thought maybe I didn't hear that right. Now I know I heard correctly, with him being the puppet master, and the complete weaponization of the federal bureaucracy, in particular federal law enforcement, intelligence (?oxymoron), and money confiscation (IRS)...unimaginable trouble ahead!
My friend is Ukrainian and she said that they already feel a part of Russia (plus it’s already super corrupt and tyrannical in Ukraine) but the Biden propagandists want you to think it’s different. This is a total “wag the dog” moment because Biden is a demented madman who is absolutely failing Americans with every bad decision he makes (or his advisers make).
And to distract us. Maybe even to tell the trucker protesters , hey we have to concentrate on this bogus war. Not totally sure what Biden’s motive is in this Ukraine thing but.... seems like a distraction move.
The problem is it is not Biden, its the cadre of stupid communists who cannot reason their way out of a brown paper bag and hate our country behind him that are calling the shots. They all need exposing and firing.
I am always in Ukraine and have seen very few pro-russian people.
Most Ukrainian people have been willing to die for democracy & a FREE Ukraine. To have the chance and opportunity to have a better life for themselves and, most importantly, their children in THEIR OWN country.
In around 2016, the USA military had a small contingent that marched in the Independence Day parade in Kyiv. As always, the street of Kreschatyk was packed with people.
I began to hear murmurs and then people shouting "Look Americans" ...
I smiled
At that point I understood the "bright shining city on the hill" and what the concept of America means to the world and oppressed people. A concept many of us have forgotten.
We represent freedom, opportunity and dreams. We represent better lives for our children. In many ways we are no longer that country idolized by so many. We have become jaded and forget that our example is what gives the world the strength to fight against tyranny.
In that one moment, I was proud of my country again and understood who we truly are. The greatest country that ever existed and the country that gives hope to the world.
6, I fear the majority hasn’t forgotten about being that city on the hill. They were either never taught it, or taught that the city is full of oppressors.
Ah yes, "putin" the boogeyman. Who apparently "gives checks" and such. Lol. He's literally one of the world's best executive leaders today; sure, it's an overall terrible lot, but there is a reason he is so demonized--he does things like encourage traditional faith and large Russian families, and implements policies in pursuit of both.
Meanwhile, the US president is a shuffling senile buffoon and the Ukraine is occupied by a power installed by a coup-de-tat. Ukrainians that want to "embrace the West" are being cuckholds and will turn their country into a NATO satrapy, and will come to regret their servility.
putin is one of the most tyrannical leaders in the world ... move to russia if you like him so much ... you have no idea what he actually does.
Dont watch MSNBC, CNN, CNBC any national propaganda. I actually watch Tucker, Ingraham and Hannity when I watch news opinion. Tucker is wrong on this ( as are you)
Your coup BS is russian propaganda. Do you know people of Maidan ... I DO ... do you know what Yanukovich was and did.
What Biden is doesn't matter ( I agree with you). russia is invading a sovereign FREE country. Instaleld by a coup, you mean TWO lections later ... you are spouting russian propaganda again about St Vlad the midget.
He kills and jails opposition. He assisinates those outside the country who dare disagree. want to talk about faith? Ukrainians are more religious than russians.
Is your friend in Ukraine or did she immigrate to the USA a few years ago .... The current Ukraine (since 2014) is totally different. I am there almost monthly, I love how people quote the past and are uninformed.
I was there and I also met a woman from Eastern Ukraine. Although she was Russian, she couldn't stand Putin. She was afraid her family's home would be hit with artillery shells by his "Little Green Men" army that invaded eastern Ukraine. So, I think there's always a difference of opinion but what I've seen is anything but a feeling "a part of Russia." There is no wagging any dog " moment as there is no US troops going to Ukraine and none will. They had some Florida National Guard there helping and they have been pulled out. That's the opposite. But hey, keep going with the opposite. SMH
What? Americans are already there, overtly and covertly. The US wants a war, maniacally, with the most dangerous nuclear power on the planet. They are reckless nihilists who seriously overestimate their power and control.
Any Ukranian that "can't stand Putin" is a moron who allowed Western propaganda to mushify his mind. "Democracy" is a god that failed and the current coup-de-tat regime in the Ukraine lacks legitimacy.
Dykuyu for speaking up ... It seems many Americans who have fought against the COVID fiasco have bought into the russian disinformation.
Just because the russian dossier/Russian collusion story was false does NOT mean russia is the good guy. FOX and much of the conservative media cant seperate the 2 issues.
BTW: Just wait for the anti freedom/anti-Ukraine pro russia crazies to come out. It is strange that peope who studied, researched and were critical thinkers on COVID cannot do the same about this.
I do not believe Putin is a good guy - I know he's a bad guy. Just please explain why we should follow the warmongers in both parties. Why the Ukrainian border is sacrosanct but our Southern border is not. Biden is pulling an old trick; when in trouble at home , find a little war somewhere. Ukraine is not high up in our national interest; its China's activities in Asia and even the Western Hemisphere. but how cares about Ukraine.
Zelensky is advising calm because the fear is compounded. They are still dealing with COVID like the west did and there is fear from that as well as coninutal bomb threats against malls and schools throughout the country. (Even western Ukraine)
Zelensky is essentially being Roosevelt : " The only thing to fear is fear itself"
This headline is a hardy perennial. How many times in my life has Iran supposedly been THIS CLOSE to a nuke? Any time the DC blob wants a distraction is the answer.
But there's a certain country that has a particular interest, and also happens to have a whole lot of dual citizens that hold high office in our country, and in other places of influence.
More FEAR PORN to release more "we the people" monies to fund the military industrial complex. So not only did we take the national debt over 30 trillion with past 2 years of whu-flu FEAR PORN now they want "our" money to fund their coffers and entrenched war machine as well.
And here I thought it was getting an ice cream cone before nap time every time he got all the words right on the teleprompter and all the little cards he "writes stuff down on" in his pocket!
For years I wondered how was possible for Germans to simply give power to the Nazis and allow their atrocities. This pandemic has made understand it much easier.
Just thought of another reason to distract: disclosure that Hillary Clinton hired techies to infiltrate Trump campaign and administration. Funny how MSM seems to have missed this.
Yes, that’s my thought too, they are coming up with distraction and even more.... delays. I keep thinking they want to delay until the vax can be fully authorized. There’s something there....
Shouldn't all "some" see that as being in their interest? Like China and Russia? In regard to NK and Iran? That would take care of both. But, apparently not.
I thought the nuclear non-proliferation principle wouldn't allow for it. But somehow this is not in the focus. So, are you saying the nuclear non-proliferation is dead?
Ok, I was afraid your question might be genuine (and you still could be play'n me). I'll keep it obviously simple. Israel has reportedly had nukes for decades and has not used them. They have stated and practiced peaceful coexistence with their neighbors except when attacked. Conversely, Iran has stated their intent to destroy Israel and has practiced hostile behavior for decades. In conclusion, the current regime does not deserve the opportunity to possess nukes as millions of people would cease to exist if Iran were to follow their own edict. It comes down to risk-reward and it's not worth the risk. Capisce?
I must admit I have not followed Iran policy closely. I know the US invasion of Iraq was a huge boon and an opening for Iran. Upset the whole apple cart. Put the Genie back into the bottle now... Wasn't played smart, was it?
explain why we have sanctions on Iran and N Korea as a preventative measure so they do not develop nukes YET we are going to wait until putin invades to enforce sanctions?
Put sanctions in place NOW, make putin back away and remove the sanctions as he quits his threatening behavior.
We in America have become myopic in our focus. We don't look at the world as it affects us. We don;t look and see almost EVERY country has overreacted to SC-2. We polarize or discussions into white/black, red/blue. rich/poor and forget there are vast areas in between.
Because sanctions are unconstitutional, illegitimate and unwise. They punish and prevent the very thing that creates peace and idea exchange -- trade and immigration. Odd you make a black/white comment, given your demonization of Russia as just some evil miasma and not a diverse nation of 150 million.
When you ask a logical question, you'll deserve a logical answer. If you don't think Iran's history over the past four decades answers your question, then it's not a logical question.
Ah yes, the "Iran is dangerous" objection. Tell me, which country has conducted the highest number of illegitimate invasions in the last 50-75 years? Or killed the most civilians in its invasions? Or perhaps, used an atomic bomb on a civilian population? Hint: Not Iran.
As ugly as the hypocrisy is, I adopt the great Walter Block's position that nukes are per se immoral to manufacture or hold. They are by definition non-specific destructive devices and cannot reasonably be used in a manner that avoids death of the innocent. Accordingly, they have no lawful use.
Israel has been scaremongering this for years. Netanyahu: Iran 'weeks away' from crossing red line. July 14, 2013. J Post. Join #TeamReality on this as well.
My wife has always wanted to visit St. Petersburg - so last Christmas I booked a $12k Viking Russia river cruise for next May. Got trip insurance in case we died from COVID (or laughed ourselves to death over the daily news).
Guess what’s the one thing the insurance doesn’t cover?
That's the only place in Russia I ever wanted to see. I cannot believe Biden will go to war with Russia. I hope I am correct, and your wife gets to St. Petersburg.
I am simultaneously heartbroken and enraged that the Democrat establishment selected and installed this puppet, together with his incompetent and unlikable sidekick, and we the people weren't able to stop it. I sure do miss Mean Tweets. Heck, I miss Jimmy Carter, and I'm old enough to remember him only too well.
Biden's biggest problem is that all his 'ideas' are terrible. You can't simply wish hard enough to make things happen the way you want. The real world has rules.
This is a major problem for the Biden administration in particular and way too many of our current ‘leaders’ in general (and by extension the rest of us). They believe something is true, and think that strong enough belief will conjure it into reality. So they spend millions on the homeless in Seattle and don’t make the problem any better. They dole out millions to schools to ‘safely open’ when schools never needed to be closed in the first place. Billions get spent on high-speed rail, only for the cost to continue to climb while still having no high-speed service. No matter! They will throw good money after bad! After all, if they stop spending money, they might have to return some of that cash. Better to light it on fire!
With regards to inflation, the Biden administration first claimed that the problem was temporary. Then they shifted the to blame ‘greedy’ businesses (who all decided to get greedy at the same time, I guess?), an excuse that continues today. He’s still fighting to pass multi-trillion dollar bills, claiming they won’t add to inflation — while admitting Americans are already getting ‘clobbered’ by it. There’s simply no admission — or even the inkling of one — that terrible monetary policies over the last couple years are to blame.
Re: "They will throw good money after bad"...It was never "good" money. Not sure we have ever experienced good money. This is a critical factor to understand. Money creation in the form of debt is toxic to all life.
Alex, you've written many times that you didn't think the election was stolen, after investigating the claims. You should open up this forum to Q & A about the issues surrounding it. I would love to read a thoughtful rebuttal to that most suspicious of elections, since the MSM adamantly refused to broach the topic. As with vaccine safety and efficacy, the MSM moved in lockstep and declared the subject settled.
Particularly in light of the recent findings from the Durham investigation... Close to a Watergate scenario that the Hillary Clinton campaign pulled off. And whether there's not a smoking gun for suitcases of ballots being counted that would have swayed the numbers in the other direction (debatable), there's definitely the aspect of spying, lying, deceit, and negative propaganda about candidate and President Trump that clearly influenced the election, and not in his favor.
John Henry Holiday, DDS…. Look up u tube video of Donald Trump roasting Hillary Clinton at Al Smith fund raising dinner. Trump looked up the elites skirts, they didn’t like it. Look who went to the dinner and is part of the board. As always, follow the money. 💰💰💰💰
For full details go to my friend Scott Hortons website www.Antiwar.com for accurate coverage. Avoid MSM coverage for foreign policy just like you avoid it for Covid coverage.
Just got off the phone with my 36 year old daughter who has made a deliberate choice to not watch the news for a couple years now. She left Facebook then as well. She had to go on a business trip last week and had a few minutes in her hotel room to kill before meeting some workmates for dinner and decided to watch the evening news with Lester Holt and he was interviewing President Biden. She said she was shocked at how demented Biden looked and acted (she has worked with Alzheimer’s patients since she was 16) and this has shown her what I have been trying to tell her for months and months about the dangerous position this puts our citizens, country and the world in. We have a crazy man for a president and everybody knows it, including our enemies. 😳🤯😡
US currency is soon to be removed as the worlds currency--along with our loss of sovereignty due to wide open borders--runaway inflation---runaway crime and homelessness---100,000 US citizens killed from drug Kingpin Joe Biden allowing the Mexican drug cartel to freely import CCP fentanyl---thousands of US citizens losing their jobs and their futures due to illegal vaccine mandates that do not stop the spread or severe illness of C19. And we care about the Ukraine---why?
Berenson, please refrain from the neocon koolaid. Iran has been "weeks away from nukes" for what seems like decades now. Check out Netanyahu's bomb diagram from 2012 at the UN, same scare-mongering.
Sometimes Alex reveals that yes, you actually do have your consent manufactured (Chomsky) to work for the NYT.
He still has a lot of that influence operating within him, me thinks. Kind of a fascinating psych. case study. He def. went off the reservation with the COVID and injection reporting, which I am very grateful for!
Ukraine is where the Biden cartel and Soros have been laundering US Aid money so that it goes to NGOs and then right back to Soros, the WEF, and Demoncrats. At least that's what I believe and why they HAD to impeach Trump to stop his digging around. Also, why they seized Giuliani's laptop and records. They are corrupt to their very cores.
I hope Joe isn't losing patience with the Russians. Otherwise, they're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for themselves, their families and the hospitals they may soon overwhelm.
Alex, I'm wondering when you are going to address Sotomayer's denial of the educators rights to not be vaccinated. I think it is particularly interesting in light of the fact that she espoused false information on children, 100,000 being seriously sickened by omicron and many on ventilators. I realize she got the case because she handles New York cases, but it seems to me there were reasons to ask her to recuse herself. This seems like something you would be
I’m torn, Alex. 81 million people voted for Jimmy Carter with dementia. I don’t want to believe the American voters wanted this despite their supposed frustration with the Trumpster and the mean tweets. It had to have been voter fraud—otherwise…how could 81 million people be so collectively naive on the outcome of a Biden presidency? All his voters were afraid to leave their home to attend the bumbling fool’s rallies and yet pumped up crazy votes to put him over the top? I know, I know—-there’s no evidence to prove outlandish fraud but, damn, it always seemed shady. I get you think it was fair and square but I like to think voters aren’t that suicidal…
You cannot believe people hated Trump more than any other president has ever been hated? Look at a picture of Trump, seriously, now try again, just think how much he's hated :)
Carter is just happy to live to see someone much more inept as President than he could ever be. He’ll no longer be known as the worst President in modern history- thanks a pant load Dems…
So those headlines look an AWFUL LOT like Op MOCKINGBIRD War Propaganda.
The US is escalating tensions in Ukraine. And the Mossad Disinformation aside - there's little evidence that Tehran wants Nuclear weapons, except perhaps as a DETERRENT against the US and likely Nuclear power adversaries that they have in the region, like Saudi Arabia, and the well known Nuclear Rogue STATE, called "Israel" aka the Zionist entity.
Sure... and what about the influx of "migrants" being flown in to cities all around the country by our very own FBI, the deliberate destruction of our economy and currency, and George Soros's destroying of the rule of law by refusing to prosecute crimes with his bought and paid for AGs - this is a recipe for the death of a nation.

Holy crap, you aren't kidding... The conspiracy theory section at the top where the author absolutely skewers the mindless drones who shut down at the term:
"The term "conspiracy theory" is remarkably adept at turning off all critical thinking like a light switch in a large portion of the people I have personally met."
Going to have to steal that and the rest of it...
CIA invented that term to marginalize people who could see what was happening. Very effective.
Thanks for the compliments guys

I prefer to be called "Conspiracy Analyst".
(Stolen from someone's comment, I would attribute it if I recalled who.)
Lionel Nation attributes that witticism to Gore Vidal.
Good t-shirt idea
I “borrowed” it too lol.
Yes and add "misinformation" ... that was my latest "friend's" goodbye to me, for the last time. I had attempted one too many times to give them a source other than CNN. Sad after 25+ years.
Yeah that IS sad politics in the way of long friendships. The MSM has done its work well (sarcasm)
From The Ethical Skeptic:
Two Medical Ethics to be tried:
First, 'Do no harm' (Delayed-treatment murders)
Second, 'Informed Consent' (Denial of human rights)
How does one give informed consent, if one is not informed? Propaganda is not information, no matter its awesome insistence.
"I need new conspiracy theories... my old ones all came true." Not mine... just picked it up somewhere.
Conspiracy Theory is one of my favorite movies. It was revealed subsequently that the addled speech pattern exhibited by Mel Gibson was not acting.
Ok, but DC comics is part of the conspiracy? Is that because of Superman or something?
Hey Mike, can you elaborate on the DC comics mention?
Yeah, if you click on the link to the article http://tritorch.com/NWO/ there is a big org chart titled "The American Empire and its Media." DC comics is included in the chart (as is Cartoon Network)
Ah ok thanks. The entertainment and the news companies are all owned by the same giant corporations and all have the same agenda to weaken, subvert, and corrupt the world.

^He's right you know. That takeover article should be required reading.
And...The MSM is trying to "will" a War into existence on behalf of the globalists to get closer to the NWO.
Oh yes borders are sooo important. Except in the US.
Right on! Sovereignty begins at home.
"Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive...."
"And after we've practiced quite awhile, how v. .a. .s. .t. .l. .y we improve our style!"
Yes... Let's just hope that this continued grab at power will domino and eventually fall apart. It's hard to keep that many lies with that many people straight.
Not with a fairly large subset of unthinking, totally gullible Americans who 'just want to be taken care of forever.
Yes, many are gullible and have been brainwashed and gas lit. My hope is though that as more segments of society start to speak out, such as now the truckers, more and more people will see what's going on as more and more people are directly touched and impacted.
These are what’s known as “The Replacements”.
or the cannon fodder when their overlords get rolling against the armed citizenry. Why waste the Fat Boys International and the other alphabets first in the opening general salvos. Lots and lots of globally available AK and AR platforms out there to equip these newbies...
After Covid, if someone doesn’t believe that there’s a group of humans that believe themselves to be superior to 99.9999% of people and who feel that they should rule over those people then that someone has slept through the past 2 years. Our “superiors” are not even hiding their existence anymore.
Why would they? No one except a few of us believe it.
Is it possible to get that printed out? I would sure like to have that infogram printed.
Sure! I can turn it into a PDF for you, check back here in a couple of hours Quinn, and I'll give you a link to it.
Thank you!!!
My apologies for the wait Quinn, here ya go:
http://tritorch.com/NWOArticlePDF.pdf
Thank you. Not a long wait. I was throwing wood into a wheelbarrow and stacking it on the porch.
Sounds wonderful. I very much need to get away from this keyboard and go outside and get my hands dirty... =)
Copy me please!
I could never understand why Trump let those Saudi training pilots go after that shooting on the Pensacola Navy base.
Besides Soros put Fink of Blackrock and Vanguard in the mix. Watch out for Open Door - Wall Street is buying up homes to crush the suburbs. All part of the global reset.
Military age males being of Hispanic or Middle Eastern ethnicity are flown to various cities in violation of the very laws Biden swore to uphold. This should be scaring the shit out of anyone who’s aware of this.
I miss the olds days when the leader of the free world called Covid a Democratic hoax. Then the lobbyists visited, and vaccines were expedited.
He called the Democrats political hit job on his response to Chinas covid biowarfare. He did NOT claim Covid itself was a hoax. That’s what Dems do. They fabricated the Russia Collusion hoAx.
The way to cure your Marriage is to cheat on your wife.
This is what happens when elections are stolen.
Shhh - that is just conspiracy theory.
AMEN
Jimmy Carter with dementia. Love it. And Jimmy Carter with no moral compass.
Jimmy Carter is the old school liberal — well meaning if naive. Today’s liberals are power mad mercenaries, and Biden’s just their puppet.
Agreed--I know plenty of old school liberals who are just that--naive. And still hoping that Biden is going to save the world once he 'irons out what Trump caused". Sometimes naive is more dangerous than total ignorance.
Jimmy Carter was a Peanut Farmer by trade; Biden is a Nutjob by trade.
Actually, Biden is a politician by trade...which is so much worse
Actually, Biden and family are a cartel of corruption by trade.
corrupt politician
I’d call Biden a bag man by trade.
😂😂😂
I am tired of the "well meaning" excuse. What is happening now is actually the logical culmination of all the "well meaning" beliefs.
They are morally responsible for this. I for one will not allow the "we meant well, didn't know this would happen" excuse for destroying our society. They were warned constantly, but they knew what was best for us.... So now they own it.
I will put Pierre Kory MD and many other MDs in their faces at their trials. “They didn’t know”? Really.
"Let them eat cake" was a well-meaning suggestion
Marie Antoinette didn't say that.
Here's a scholarly (and to me, convincing) article about this.
(Many other historians, besides the author of this particular article, agree that she didn't utter that infamous phrase, I hasten to add.)
https://www.livescience.com/let-the-eat-cake.html
Interesting! Thank you!
You're welcome. Having done a fair amount of reading about the French Revolution, I can't view the royal family (Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette) as villains.
The Revolution went wildly off the rails. It need not (ideally) have been as ugly, brutal, and horrific as it ended up being. At the beginning of the Revolution, the King was in agreement with the first leaders of the revolution. He wanted there to be more democracy in France, a limitation on the power of the monarchy, (in other words, a constitutional monarchy, such as exists in the United Kingdom and other countries that were at one time pure monarchies), more political participation by the common people, protection of civil rights, etc.
As tends to happen, the initial, moderate, decent leaders of the revolution were repeatedly and increasingly overthrown by their more violent, extremist contemporaries. The moderate, humane revolutionaries were the first victims of the Reign of Terror, the first modern totalitarian regime, which became the template for all subsequent totalitarian regimes. It's a devastating tale! I could go on and on about it, but I'd be here at the computer all day. Best wishes to you.
Several years ago our then Republican conservative congressman (who of course then had to resign after a sex scandal) was having coffee with me (we hung out at the same coffee shop) told me the problem with at least Dems in the Pittsburgh area was that they still thought they were the party of FDR, Truman, and JFK (although the more I read about FDR the more I wonder), but the modern Democrat party was a bunch of crazies - although he did not name names it was clear he was talking about Pelosi et al
FDR is one of my least favorite Presidents. All the Socialist stuff started under his administration.
And concentration, er, internment camps.
But give Woodrow Wilson a little credit, too!
You beat me to it!
Do you ever wonder if they position people like that to get involved in sex scandals just so they can undermine the movement? Conspiracy theory alert.... :) Regardless, fortitude, morality, and willpower are key roles like that. No excuse for the failure.
Didn’t seem to hurt Teddy Kennedy’s prospects.
Well, he was on the correct side.
Exactly. IIRC, there was a president that did some things with a staffer in the Oval office. Those things would have resulted in the direct firing of a CEO or would even require an executive at a major media company to step down, but when you are on the "right side" of the argument, you can just brush it aside.
honey traps
Speaking as a native Pittsburgher, those Dems were plenty crazy even back in FDR's time. They just didn't have the 24-hr news cycle and omnipresent internet to make their craziness (and stupidity) so visible to all the world.
We miss you Paula R
So nice to be remembered ....
FDR unlawfully imprisoned Americans. That puts him at the bottom of the barrel.
So perhaps Biden is the modern day FDR
Today's liberals are weak mindless sensually biased drones that wanted a big bully to support them in their lunacy. Now they have it.
Well meaning, like giving away the Panama Canal. Ugh.
A signature move by Carter, a relic of imperialism. Land stolen by and occupied by us until its return in the late 70’s. After which the sky did not fall.
Accept for us engaging in wars mostly against brown people in the Middle East and tearing up these countries we have been relatively safe here at home. Threatening Russia though with our curious stand on Ukrainian NATO membership may not be such a bright idea. Safety at home make a hit with this one.
I am now a big fan of Gerard celente and Judge Napolitano. I am also, and have been, a proponent of being energy independent. Importing energy is dirty, alternative energy is dirty and unsustainable and importing it provides too much leverage to despot countries- including us
And how would Americans be better-off today if the Canal Zone were still a U S territory?
This is a good question. To take a shot at a possible answer, (1) it was built at enormous cost, therefore GIVING it away does not seem appropriate, (2) Panama is very corrupt; I was there a couple of years ago, my taxi got pulled over for no reason and the cop wanted - and got - a bribe, (3) there is always the possibility that whoever controls it will stop allowing the U.S. access, which kind of defeats the whole purpose for why it was built.
(1) Sunk costs don't matter. (2) As if there's no corruption in the U S. And Panama would be part of Colombia but for US action related to the canal. (3) Do you believe deep state interests wouldn't take action contrary to the national interest, for their private benefit?
1) When you finish paying off your house, are you gonna give it away? Sunk costs don't matter, right? I didn't think so.
2) There are levels. You have never been pulled over by a U.S. cop who EXPECTED to receive a bribe.
3) Of course that is possible, but I'm not sure what your point is.
What nation's national interest? The deep state is not interested in what's in US national interest. It is working for something else.
The Chinese wouldn’t control it.
The Panama Canal Authority allegedly owns the canal - but who owns the Panama Canal Authority? Wouldn't be surprised if the PRC is in there somewhere. https://panamalifeinsider.com/who-is-the-owner-of-the-panama-canal-today/
PRC is all over the place, but why would they shut down a canal thru which much of their exports pass? (And I suppose they need the revenue.) For the US, alternatives exist including west coast ports and direct rail connection to Lazaro Cardenas.
Biden has been a bureaucrat who always could be bought. They all knew it. That's why he had to run for president so many times. This time he got in as a Trojan horse
Thank you. Actually I’d rather have Jimmy Carter with dementia.
There's a push on to have Biden do a cognitive fitness test, after all Trump was forced into it, and he passed. The Dems won't allow it...they are scared to death of "Giggle N Chief" waiting in the wings.
OMG - Can you imagine Commiela as president? 2-3 year of her and, IF a fair election the real President wins 45 states.
But the benefit is that there will be more push for state rights and hopefully real local control. On that issue I agree with Bernie’s platform. But not Bernie because he is a fake shown by his support of Newsom to defeat recall
I thought fingernails on chalkboards were horrible to listen to until I heard this creature speak......😬😤
They could make her one of the Supremes....
She probably sings better than she thinks. 😂
A demented Jimmy Carter with no moral compass on steroids!
It cost me $92.55 to fill my gas tank the other day. Under Trump, it was around $50.
The average American now spends roughly $260 MORE per month now. A LOT of $$$ for many!
That's a huge underrepresentation. The inflation numbers are rigged.
The Actual Inflation rate is almost 15%, double the fake rate announced last week.
It's at least 10-12% and I wouldn't argue with you over 15%. Oil is at $94 a barrel, headed north. We have a ways to go y'all.
perhaps...just heard that stated the other day on one of the media outlets I follow. Was not verified. Just remembered the mention at it stuck with me .What is your estimation on average?
Oh but hey my small govt pension check just got a 7% cola. About half of what the true inflation rate is to judge by the price of dog biscuits over the last year
Who can afford a dog now....or a cat? 🤷♀️
It's getting harder and harder.
Yours was twice the amount of my state pension increase.
Spending more, and getting less for it. I'm watching my retirement savings get stolen... now don't know if I'll be able to retire as planned. Let's Go Brandon!
Retirement? What's that?
that whole plan is so based on timing for sure like so many things.
For a lot I know including myself that can mean bankruptcy.
Brandon motto is, Ya' can't take it with ya' !
Under Trump our dog's favorite food was $23.46 a big bag.
It's now $49.54 under Biden.
Right! The canned chow I'd jazz my German shepherd's dry food with went from $1.09 a can to $1.79. Now she's getting calf's liver and I'm splitting it with her.
She hates Biden too.
Funny! Mine won't wear blue collars!
🤣
LOL!
The dogs do hate him ! His first one in the White House bit everyone, had to get rid of him ?? Dogs and a lot of other animals have incredible instincts. They know if your NO Good !
Man was that dog right
Just an FYI. Everything I buy is substantially higher except for Costco's Kirkland brand dog food (40# beige bag). It's still a super bargain at ~$26. Unfortunately, their dog biscuits have gone up 30% in 3 months.
They changed the formula a few years or so on the Costco chicken flavored dog food. My dog got really sick from it after eating it for years. I confirmed that they did indeed change it from the counter rep at my store. A lot of people were returning it. I was so irritated!!
Sadly, this situation applies to many products, both human and animal. See my follow-up comment below.
My friends and I are wondering if the Chinese are dumping toxins into the pet food again. All our dogs have developed food allergies over the past three months. :-(
You bring up a excellent point of contention...we must bring all production of ingestibles, especially pharmaceuticals, back to native soil.
If it all goes off as planned, there will be NO native soil for anyone.....
I went into our local "Dollar Tree" Store the other day. All the prices were $1.25! LOL
Which is a 25% increase, not 7% as our government overlords are telling us the inflation rate is.
You know they announced that months ago, right?
And, what's your point? Last time I was there was when Trump was president.

Nuff said…
What a disaster for our country. This Obama third term is completing the disaster they intended.
Yup--Jen Psaki said she thoroughly enjoys working for Pres Obam--oops--Biden
In the vein of punishment fitting the crime... I’d like to imprison Psaki in solitary.... and have a recording of every single thing she said from the podium play in her ears night and day.
I have had very few private revelations, but I had one on election night 2008 when it was a certainty that Obama would win...'history will record that the election of Barack Obama is the greatest mistake the American people ever made." When we survived through his two terms I thought maybe I didn't hear that right. Now I know I heard correctly, with him being the puppet master, and the complete weaponization of the federal bureaucracy, in particular federal law enforcement, intelligence (?oxymoron), and money confiscation (IRS)...unimaginable trouble ahead!
As they are so fond of saying, “using every lever of government available to them.”
Yes, unfortunately I think we’re just starting to see the beginning of the catastrophe he will be orchestrating from behind the scenes.
Fundamentally reforming the United States...
FIFY- “Fundamentally DESTROYING the United States….”
Not "reform". "Transform" was the word he used.
Yes! Thank you! Looked wrong the whole time but couldn’t put my finger on it.
Yes indeed.
My friend is Ukrainian and she said that they already feel a part of Russia (plus it’s already super corrupt and tyrannical in Ukraine) but the Biden propagandists want you to think it’s different. This is a total “wag the dog” moment because Biden is a demented madman who is absolutely failing Americans with every bad decision he makes (or his advisers make).
The MSM is trying to "will" a war into existence on behalf of the globalists to get closer to the NWO.
And to distract us. Maybe even to tell the trucker protesters , hey we have to concentrate on this bogus war. Not totally sure what Biden’s motive is in this Ukraine thing but.... seems like a distraction move.
The problem is it is not Biden, its the cadre of stupid communists who cannot reason their way out of a brown paper bag and hate our country behind him that are calling the shots. They all need exposing and firing.
They all need a firing squad...FTFY
I have other friends that say the opposite and are prepared to die defending Ukraine.
I am always in Ukraine and have seen very few pro-russian people.
Most Ukrainian people have been willing to die for democracy & a FREE Ukraine. To have the chance and opportunity to have a better life for themselves and, most importantly, their children in THEIR OWN country.
In around 2016, the USA military had a small contingent that marched in the Independence Day parade in Kyiv. As always, the street of Kreschatyk was packed with people.
I began to hear murmurs and then people shouting "Look Americans" ...
I smiled
At that point I understood the "bright shining city on the hill" and what the concept of America means to the world and oppressed people. A concept many of us have forgotten.
We represent freedom, opportunity and dreams. We represent better lives for our children. In many ways we are no longer that country idolized by so many. We have become jaded and forget that our example is what gives the world the strength to fight against tyranny.
In that one moment, I was proud of my country again and understood who we truly are. The greatest country that ever existed and the country that gives hope to the world.
We must never lose that
Now we look to Canadian Truckers for courage....
6, I fear the majority hasn’t forgotten about being that city on the hill. They were either never taught it, or taught that the city is full of oppressors.
Found the propagandist. Seriously guy, stop regurgitating CNN.
I have not seen CNN for over a decade ... YOU are an ignorant fool ... do you get checks from putin as well?
MSNBC then. Please stop astroturfing.
Ah yes, "putin" the boogeyman. Who apparently "gives checks" and such. Lol. He's literally one of the world's best executive leaders today; sure, it's an overall terrible lot, but there is a reason he is so demonized--he does things like encourage traditional faith and large Russian families, and implements policies in pursuit of both.
Meanwhile, the US president is a shuffling senile buffoon and the Ukraine is occupied by a power installed by a coup-de-tat. Ukrainians that want to "embrace the West" are being cuckholds and will turn their country into a NATO satrapy, and will come to regret their servility.
putin is one of the most tyrannical leaders in the world ... move to russia if you like him so much ... you have no idea what he actually does.
Dont watch MSNBC, CNN, CNBC any national propaganda. I actually watch Tucker, Ingraham and Hannity when I watch news opinion. Tucker is wrong on this ( as are you)
Your coup BS is russian propaganda. Do you know people of Maidan ... I DO ... do you know what Yanukovich was and did.
What Biden is doesn't matter ( I agree with you). russia is invading a sovereign FREE country. Instaleld by a coup, you mean TWO lections later ... you are spouting russian propaganda again about St Vlad the midget.
He kills and jails opposition. He assisinates those outside the country who dare disagree. want to talk about faith? Ukrainians are more religious than russians.
You are being played as a foll
Is your friend in Ukraine or did she immigrate to the USA a few years ago .... The current Ukraine (since 2014) is totally different. I am there almost monthly, I love how people quote the past and are uninformed.
Brandon actually stopped an anti-corruption move by the Ukrainians when he was our corrupt VP.
I was there and I also met a woman from Eastern Ukraine. Although she was Russian, she couldn't stand Putin. She was afraid her family's home would be hit with artillery shells by his "Little Green Men" army that invaded eastern Ukraine. So, I think there's always a difference of opinion but what I've seen is anything but a feeling "a part of Russia." There is no wagging any dog " moment as there is no US troops going to Ukraine and none will. They had some Florida National Guard there helping and they have been pulled out. That's the opposite. But hey, keep going with the opposite. SMH
What? Americans are already there, overtly and covertly. The US wants a war, maniacally, with the most dangerous nuclear power on the planet. They are reckless nihilists who seriously overestimate their power and control.
Any Ukranian that "can't stand Putin" is a moron who allowed Western propaganda to mushify his mind. "Democracy" is a god that failed and the current coup-de-tat regime in the Ukraine lacks legitimacy.
Dykuyu for speaking up ... It seems many Americans who have fought against the COVID fiasco have bought into the russian disinformation.
Just because the russian dossier/Russian collusion story was false does NOT mean russia is the good guy. FOX and much of the conservative media cant seperate the 2 issues.
BTW: Just wait for the anti freedom/anti-Ukraine pro russia crazies to come out. It is strange that peope who studied, researched and were critical thinkers on COVID cannot do the same about this.
I do not believe Putin is a good guy - I know he's a bad guy. Just please explain why we should follow the warmongers in both parties. Why the Ukrainian border is sacrosanct but our Southern border is not. Biden is pulling an old trick; when in trouble at home , find a little war somewhere. Ukraine is not high up in our national interest; its China's activities in Asia and even the Western Hemisphere. but how cares about Ukraine.
The USA may be trying to delay the invasion?. It actually gives putin the out he may want.
putin can then NOT invade and say "see we weren't going to invade" and save face. You have to understand the russian mentality (bully & bluff to get your way). Anne Applebaum wrote a great article n this recently https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/02/lavrov-russia-diplomacy-ukraine/622075/
Zelensky is advising calm because the fear is compounded. They are still dealing with COVID like the west did and there is fear from that as well as coninutal bomb threats against malls and schools throughout the country. (Even western Ukraine)
Zelensky is essentially being Roosevelt : " The only thing to fear is fear itself"
Russia is spending LOTS of money on their thousands of troops amassed at the border, why waste all that money if it's just "theater "
At least Biden was wrong about a winter of severe illness and death for the unvaccinated, their families and the hospitals they were to overwhelm.
Well done everyone for not dying. Pat yourselves on the back.

This headline is a hardy perennial. How many times in my life has Iran supposedly been THIS CLOSE to a nuke? Any time the DC blob wants a distraction is the answer.

Just like the "global warming global cooling climate change" merry-go-round.
Amen!
But there's a certain country that has a particular interest, and also happens to have a whole lot of dual citizens that hold high office in our country, and in other places of influence.
Seriously...has one President in basically his first year done as much damage to his country than the puppet?
Nope
worst. president. ever. Needs to be a bumper sticker
ALT ALT ALT ALT: 81m "votes".
Yep
The election was stolen. Bigly
Let’s be real Alex, the warmongers have been saying that Iran is close to having a nuke for 30 years.
More FEAR PORN to release more "we the people" monies to fund the military industrial complex. So not only did we take the national debt over 30 trillion with past 2 years of whu-flu FEAR PORN now they want "our" money to fund their coffers and entrenched war machine as well.
In retrospect, medieval nations emptying their treasuries to build magnificent cathedrals doesn’t seem so foolish.
And rebuilding it on the backs of us peasants.... history is doomed to repeat itself....
I reckon so...
Biden’s top “achievement” is embracing fascism……………..
And here I thought it was getting an ice cream cone before nap time every time he got all the words right on the teleprompter and all the little cards he "writes stuff down on" in his pocket!

For years I wondered how was possible for Germans to simply give power to the Nazis and allow their atrocities. This pandemic has made understand it much easier.
Same here
If you can be made to believe absurdities, you can be led to commit atrocities.
Can't help feeling this is a distraction--an attempt to shift attention away from pandemic push-back happening in Canada, vaccine adverse reactions.
I agree... I wonder though if there's so many disastrous distractions that it will just keep imploding upon the administration. I'm hoping ...🙏🤞🙏🤞
Just thought of another reason to distract: disclosure that Hillary Clinton hired techies to infiltrate Trump campaign and administration. Funny how MSM seems to have missed this.
Yep ...Monty Hall would be proud..."Let's see what's behind door number one, don't look behind door number two..."

Yes, that’s my thought too, they are coming up with distraction and even more.... delays. I keep thinking they want to delay until the vax can be fully authorized. There’s something there....
Or they're delaying until the State of the Union speech, so Brandon can declare the pandemic is over.
I'm offended that they think we're stupid.
Let me ask an inconvenient question. So, if Israel can have nukes, why can't Iran again? Logically, please. Is it because why?
If cops can have guns, why not robbers?
robbers do...they just usually obtain their's outside the system
Yep. But our trying to prevent it isn't illogical.
Which is why Gun Laws only punish the Law Abiding.
we are talking sovereign countries, remember? some are more sovereign than others? logically?
Yeah, some are. Some that are more responsible than others. That endows their sovereignty with more rights and more latitude than others.
Also, just because the genie's out of the bottle for *some* doesn't mean it is logical to let *everyone* play with the genie.
Shouldn't all "some" see that as being in their interest? Like China and Russia? In regard to NK and Iran? That would take care of both. But, apparently not.
Like
Exactly…
oh I don't know. maybe something about one has sworn to wipe the another off the map..but I guess that takes some deep thinking huh
If not for that fact, could it be allowed to develop nukes?
I thought the nuclear non-proliferation principle wouldn't allow for it. But somehow this is not in the focus. So, are you saying the nuclear non-proliferation is dead?
I'm guessing with that question you're practicing the marketing adage of "There's no such thing as bad publicity." Good luck with your newsletter.
can't ask questions, ron? why is that? to foster a lively discussion, for example? exchange ideas? bring facts to bear?
Ok, I was afraid your question might be genuine (and you still could be play'n me). I'll keep it obviously simple. Israel has reportedly had nukes for decades and has not used them. They have stated and practiced peaceful coexistence with their neighbors except when attacked. Conversely, Iran has stated their intent to destroy Israel and has practiced hostile behavior for decades. In conclusion, the current regime does not deserve the opportunity to possess nukes as millions of people would cease to exist if Iran were to follow their own edict. It comes down to risk-reward and it's not worth the risk. Capisce?
I must admit I have not followed Iran policy closely. I know the US invasion of Iraq was a huge boon and an opening for Iran. Upset the whole apple cart. Put the Genie back into the bottle now... Wasn't played smart, was it?
Cheers Andreas!
Good luck at the pass. Make sure that you bring your 300 Spartans.
Non-proliferation anyone? I thought it's on the surface.
explain why we have sanctions on Iran and N Korea as a preventative measure so they do not develop nukes YET we are going to wait until putin invades to enforce sanctions?
Put sanctions in place NOW, make putin back away and remove the sanctions as he quits his threatening behavior.
We in America have become myopic in our focus. We don't look at the world as it affects us. We don;t look and see almost EVERY country has overreacted to SC-2. We polarize or discussions into white/black, red/blue. rich/poor and forget there are vast areas in between.
Because sanctions are unconstitutional, illegitimate and unwise. They punish and prevent the very thing that creates peace and idea exchange -- trade and immigration. Odd you make a black/white comment, given your demonization of Russia as just some evil miasma and not a diverse nation of 150 million.
brilliant :-))
Logical.
When you ask a logical question, you'll deserve a logical answer. If you don't think Iran's history over the past four decades answers your question, then it's not a logical question.
Ah yes, the "Iran is dangerous" objection. Tell me, which country has conducted the highest number of illegitimate invasions in the last 50-75 years? Or killed the most civilians in its invasions? Or perhaps, used an atomic bomb on a civilian population? Hint: Not Iran.
As ugly as the hypocrisy is, I adopt the great Walter Block's position that nukes are per se immoral to manufacture or hold. They are by definition non-specific destructive devices and cannot reasonably be used in a manner that avoids death of the innocent. Accordingly, they have no lawful use.
I'm not sure of the name of the logical fallacy, but just because *we* may be dangerous doesn't mean Iran *isn't*.
Now, please make the case for our NOT using The Bomb to end WWII. I can't *wait* to read that one.
Walter Block doesn't live in the real world. Let's give all our nukes to Iran, and then tell them to dismantle them "because they're immoral".
Good grief.

War with Russia is assured. Want to know why?
My wife has always wanted to visit St. Petersburg - so last Christmas I booked a $12k Viking Russia river cruise for next May. Got trip insurance in case we died from COVID (or laughed ourselves to death over the daily news).
Guess what’s the one thing the insurance doesn’t cover?
HAAHAHAHA!!! Sorry man but that's hilarious! We must be related somehow.
Yeah. Isn't it? :-)
Not.
Oh man. I feel your pain.
That's the only place in Russia I ever wanted to see. I cannot believe Biden will go to war with Russia. I hope I am correct, and your wife gets to St. Petersburg.
I am simultaneously heartbroken and enraged that the Democrat establishment selected and installed this puppet, together with his incompetent and unlikable sidekick, and we the people weren't able to stop it. I sure do miss Mean Tweets. Heck, I miss Jimmy Carter, and I'm old enough to remember him only too well.
Agree--except that I sure don't miss Jimmy Carter.
Never thought I'd say it. But as someone alluded to here - I do think he at least had a moral compass.
well as we all know now, moral compass is very fluid and subjective
If he's handling this like they did Covid, there will be a new rule:
• Only the masked & vaxxed will be allowed to duck & cover.
I prefer Stop Drop and Roll for my nuclear fallout alerts.
Wry, sardonic and funny!
Good move. They are the most patriotic and deserve the honor to die for their Commander In Thief.
A war would distract from the truth nicely….
Biden's biggest problem is that all his 'ideas' are terrible. You can't simply wish hard enough to make things happen the way you want. The real world has rules.
----------------------
https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/inflation-and-you
This is a major problem for the Biden administration in particular and way too many of our current ‘leaders’ in general (and by extension the rest of us). They believe something is true, and think that strong enough belief will conjure it into reality. So they spend millions on the homeless in Seattle and don’t make the problem any better. They dole out millions to schools to ‘safely open’ when schools never needed to be closed in the first place. Billions get spent on high-speed rail, only for the cost to continue to climb while still having no high-speed service. No matter! They will throw good money after bad! After all, if they stop spending money, they might have to return some of that cash. Better to light it on fire!
With regards to inflation, the Biden administration first claimed that the problem was temporary. Then they shifted the to blame ‘greedy’ businesses (who all decided to get greedy at the same time, I guess?), an excuse that continues today. He’s still fighting to pass multi-trillion dollar bills, claiming they won’t add to inflation — while admitting Americans are already getting ‘clobbered’ by it. There’s simply no admission — or even the inkling of one — that terrible monetary policies over the last couple years are to blame.
you give him far too much credit on "his ideas"
Re: "They will throw good money after bad"...It was never "good" money. Not sure we have ever experienced good money. This is a critical factor to understand. Money creation in the form of debt is toxic to all life.
Always money for war when you can just BRRRRRRRRRRR the printer.
In 2005 Iran was months away. So by 2050 they could be only days away.
Alex, you've written many times that you didn't think the election was stolen, after investigating the claims. You should open up this forum to Q & A about the issues surrounding it. I would love to read a thoughtful rebuttal to that most suspicious of elections, since the MSM adamantly refused to broach the topic. As with vaccine safety and efficacy, the MSM moved in lockstep and declared the subject settled.
Particularly in light of the recent findings from the Durham investigation... Close to a Watergate scenario that the Hillary Clinton campaign pulled off. And whether there's not a smoking gun for suitcases of ballots being counted that would have swayed the numbers in the other direction (debatable), there's definitely the aspect of spying, lying, deceit, and negative propaganda about candidate and President Trump that clearly influenced the election, and not in his favor.
was it stolen if there are ballots to match all those votes. that seems to be the logic being used by many
Very possible, I suspect. I am not a huge Trump fan, but I will believe to my dying day that the election was stolen.
Count one more like. The like button wasn’t working. I do believe a lot voted for Biden but I don’t believe for a minute he actually won.
John Henry Holiday, DDS…. Look up u tube video of Donald Trump roasting Hillary Clinton at Al Smith fund raising dinner. Trump looked up the elites skirts, they didn’t like it. Look who went to the dinner and is part of the board. As always, follow the money. 💰💰💰💰

Salena Zito gets it. Another great writer who gets out of the bubble and actually talks to people.

Nailed it! No longer about which political party you identify with.
She is terrific.
Alex the election was stolen.
Also apologize to Dr Malone you lib.
Just got off the phone with my 36 year old daughter who has made a deliberate choice to not watch the news for a couple years now. She left Facebook then as well. She had to go on a business trip last week and had a few minutes in her hotel room to kill before meeting some workmates for dinner and decided to watch the evening news with Lester Holt and he was interviewing President Biden. She said she was shocked at how demented Biden looked and acted (she has worked with Alzheimer’s patients since she was 16) and this has shown her what I have been trying to tell her for months and months about the dangerous position this puts our citizens, country and the world in. We have a crazy man for a president and everybody knows it, including our enemies. 😳🤯😡
US currency is soon to be removed as the worlds currency--along with our loss of sovereignty due to wide open borders--runaway inflation---runaway crime and homelessness---100,000 US citizens killed from drug Kingpin Joe Biden allowing the Mexican drug cartel to freely import CCP fentanyl---thousands of US citizens losing their jobs and their futures due to illegal vaccine mandates that do not stop the spread or severe illness of C19. And we care about the Ukraine---why?
"We" care about Ukraine? Who we? Not enough to involve US troops, weapons, or sanctions.
Excellent comment on our real problems as opposed to the made up for distraction ones.
Right! Its OVER then
Berenson, please refrain from the neocon koolaid. Iran has been "weeks away from nukes" for what seems like decades now. Check out Netanyahu's bomb diagram from 2012 at the UN, same scare-mongering.
Sometimes Alex reveals that yes, you actually do have your consent manufactured (Chomsky) to work for the NYT.
He still has a lot of that influence operating within him, me thinks. Kind of a fascinating psych. case study. He def. went off the reservation with the COVID and injection reporting, which I am very grateful for!
Today's multi-tasking: reading comments here & live streaming video from Canada.
Super Bowl? What Super Bowl?
Superb comment.
In this whole Covid19 debacle I’ve thought time and again about the line: “Nero fiddled while Rome burned.”
Super bowl? What super bowl?
How much money did the Ukraine government pay Hunter Biden?
Is it just me, or does this sound fishy. (Asking for a friend.)
Phew, thats a relief! I was just beginning to worry that this administration might become dysfunctional, inept and authoritarian.
Funny.
Jimmy Carter with dementia! Beautiful!
True
Iran has been “weeks” away for decades now.
The US needs to stop sticking its nose in other countries affairs!
Ukraine is where the Biden cartel and Soros have been laundering US Aid money so that it goes to NGOs and then right back to Soros, the WEF, and Demoncrats. At least that's what I believe and why they HAD to impeach Trump to stop his digging around. Also, why they seized Giuliani's laptop and records. They are corrupt to their very cores.
I hope Joe isn't losing patience with the Russians. Otherwise, they're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for themselves, their families and the hospitals they may soon overwhelm.
Maybe he can vaccinate, mask and social distance them....
You miss Trump. Me too.
But, but, Trump was a big ole orange meanie!
And obese! Don't forget obese! Two slices of chocolate cake for dessert! Horrors!
Alex, I'm wondering when you are going to address Sotomayer's denial of the educators rights to not be vaccinated. I think it is particularly interesting in light of the fact that she espoused false information on children, 100,000 being seriously sickened by omicron and many on ventilators. I realize she got the case because she handles New York cases, but it seems to me there were reasons to ask her to recuse herself. This seems like something you would be
responding to.
And KAGANs willful misrepresentation of the “transmisssbility” of infection of the jabbed. I thought Alex did address both?
I thought about writing a book about Biden's occupation of the White House. How to Ruin a Country in Ten Months.
Mumblin', Fumblin’, Bumblin’ #Joe. It’s going to be a long dark year (not winter)‼️‼️
Not a Carter fan, but pretending Biden is anywhere near the moral and intellectual level of Carter is absurdist.
I’m torn, Alex. 81 million people voted for Jimmy Carter with dementia. I don’t want to believe the American voters wanted this despite their supposed frustration with the Trumpster and the mean tweets. It had to have been voter fraud—otherwise…how could 81 million people be so collectively naive on the outcome of a Biden presidency? All his voters were afraid to leave their home to attend the bumbling fool’s rallies and yet pumped up crazy votes to put him over the top? I know, I know—-there’s no evidence to prove outlandish fraud but, damn, it always seemed shady. I get you think it was fair and square but I like to think voters aren’t that suicidal…
You cannot believe people hated Trump more than any other president has ever been hated? Look at a picture of Trump, seriously, now try again, just think how much he's hated :)
Nope!! But I can believe people are just that stupid to vote for him or that party's ideas
They didn't vote for Biden as much as they voted against Trump :o)
Hey everyone! Look over here…it’s a war! Remember war? That’s bad too.
Ok. They’re looking…whew…
They have been saying Iran is two weeks away since the early 80’s.
They've been saying Iran is weeks from having a nuclear bomb for 30 years, at least.
Carter is just happy to live to see someone much more inept as President than he could ever be. He’ll no longer be known as the worst President in modern history- thanks a pant load Dems…
Yeah...everyday more crap because of Joe. And people still do not see it.
So those headlines look an AWFUL LOT like Op MOCKINGBIRD War Propaganda.
The US is escalating tensions in Ukraine. And the Mossad Disinformation aside - there's little evidence that Tehran wants Nuclear weapons, except perhaps as a DETERRENT against the US and likely Nuclear power adversaries that they have in the region, like Saudi Arabia, and the well known Nuclear Rogue STATE, called "Israel" aka the Zionist entity.
