"The two major political parties are the two wings of the same bird of prey."
This is one of the main takeaways you get when you go through your libertarian phase. I went through mine big time from 2009-2015.
Elucidating this well is Glenn Greenwald, who hits another home run with his latest:
GG notices that the shreds of whatever is left of 'the left', as well as MAGA nationalists, and people like Tucker Carlson are the only people asking the question: who benefits from these expenditures?
Greenwald provides this handy chart so you can see who is benefitting, and quite nicely I might add:
Look at those returns. Must be nice.
So now the Usual Suspects have their war. The part of this that's so wild, is not only are there food and baby formula shortages, but The Narrative is telling Boobus Americanus to put Ukrainian flags in their bio, ignore the price of living, and grovel before the MIC. And the Democrats are behind it, and making it work!
Look at the list of people who are anti war. This is unprecedented:
Tucker Carlson
Laura Ingraham
Noam Chomsky
Glenn Greenwald
Yours Truly
MAGA Nationalists
World Socialists
Say what you want about Chomsky, but he braver and more consistent with the Truth than the NeoCon weirdos who pose as "republicans":
For those of you too young to recognize, that's how "the left" used to talk. They were anti-war through and through. Even if Bad Orange Man Bad gets it right about peace and diplomacy with Ukraine, you shout it out and push the right message.
The incredibly strange list of anti war allies above is leading to an interesting election season in a few months. I've never seen anything like it, and neither has Greenwald.

"The flak only gets heavy when you're over the target."
It looks like a few people are over the target, and the Power Elite are angry. Last week was a banner week for hit pieces on people who have refused to bend the knee to the Neo Liberal Rules Based World Order (or whatever they're calling themselves this month). If you recall, you're supposed to cheer, clap, and perhaps cry a little in joy when thinking or social media posting about: unchecked illegal immigration, diversity, multiculturalism, defunding the police, gender doesn't exist, getting mRNA gene therapy, Ukraine Flag in your bio, and any other policy that contributes to weakening These United States.
If you question any of the above, however mildly, you're a problem. If you even slightly talk about Traditional Western Christian Old Time American values ... well, you're a huge problem.
Royce White was interviewed by the Washington Post for 3 hours. They took part of one sentence, and then managed to come up with this paint by numbers pre-written journalistic abomination:
Normally I would link to the article, but we already know what it says. Admit it, you know the main 2 or 3 talking points in the piece, as they're always the same.
White went on Jason Whitlock's "Fearless" and UNLOADED on the Washington Post. "Never talk to the Media" is the best advice, but in White's case, I think he thrives on the conflict:
From Youtube:
"Minnesota congressional candidate and former NBA player Royce White passionately responds to a lengthy hit piece published in Thursday’s Washington Post. Jeff Bezos’ publication printed a profile that framed White as a supporter of “white nationalism” and the darling of the “far-right media.” White, who is black, joins Jason and T.J. Moe for a one-hour conversation to rebuke the false narrative. White is challenging Ilhan Omar for her seat in the House. Jason argues that White’s eloquence and righteousness are a threat to the entire political establishment. The hit piece on White included anonymous quotes from someone claiming to be a former coach of White and an alleged family member. White’s response to all of it is fearless, authentic, and a must-listen."
Then, it was Tucker Carlson's turn. Someone in my building born in the Cretaceous Era gets the paper delivered - one of the 27 people left in NYC who get The NY Times at the door.
The cover was so laughably bad I took a picture of it. This is considered front page "journalism" from 'the paper of record':
"White Fear". I wonder how it's different from all the other types of fear.
Because the intellectual mushrooms who run The NY Times are fantastically wealthy, as are the clods who run the Washington Post, they have to frame everything by race. Everything. "White Fear". It's all so tiresome and stupid, and it shows you how out of touch they are thinking that this 2014 tactic would work.
Greenwald and Carlson had a field day with it on Twitter:
Shouting all the same tired phrases is a strange way to try to move opinion. Maybe it's the 2022 midterm election democratic panic that's got them worried.
Either way, they keep pushing out tone deaf hit pieces like this one. Jennifer Rubin has "Long TDS", and apparently there's no cure:
Yes, that's Orange Man Bad, in front of a church, holding a bible. And yes, this is an opinion piece from last week.
Something's got the Power Elite spooked. It looks like the Rabble have had too much to Think, and they need to be put back in their place.

I've been talking a lot about, linking to, and using Glenn Greenwald's work for many years now. I began using his TED talk about the importance of privacy while discussing various works of literature. He recently gave a talk for the Mises Institute and Ron Paul about the importance of an independent media. It would be difficult to find a better person to give such a talk, and Tom Woods gives him a fantastic introduction.
From YouTube:
"Ron Paul's two campaigns for president (2008 and 2012) were watershed moments for liberty-minded people around the world. The "Ron Paul Revolution"—centered around his undiluted message of peace, property, and markets—changed the way millions thought about the American empire and the American financial system. Dr. Paul's focus on central banking and foreign policy caught politicians and pundits off guard, forcing them to scramble for explanations of our Middle East policy and Soviet-style central planning at the Fed. Politics in America has not been the same since the "Giuliani moment" and "End the Fed." The Ron Paul Revolution was both a political and cultural phenomenon."
Here is a small sample of Greenwald's twitter feed. Totally fearless, and unfettered truth:

I saw the link to Andrew Sullivan's Substack article on Glenn Greenwald's TWTR feed:
You know things are bad when Establishment Conservative and Part Time Weasel-wordsmith Sullivan writes paragraphs like this:
"Think of the other narratives the MSM pushed in recent years that have collapsed. They viciously defamed the Covington boys. They authoritatively told us that bounties had been placed on US soldiers in Afghanistan by Putin — and Trump’s denials only made them more certain. They told us that the lab-leak theory of Covid was a conspiracy theory with no evidence behind it at all. (The NYT actually had the story of the leak theory, by Donald McNeil, killed it, and then fired McNeil, their best Covid reporter, after some schoolgirls complained he wasn’t woke.) Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
The MSM took the ludicrous story of Jussie Smollett seriously because it fit their nutty “white supremacy” narrative. They told us that a woman was brutally gang-raped at UVA (invented), that the Pulse mass shooting was driven by homophobia (untrue) and that the Atlanta spa shooter was motivated by anti-Asian bias (no known evidence for that at all). For good measure, they followed up with story after story about white supremacists targeting Asian-Americans, in a new wave of “hate,” even as the assaults were disproportionately by African Americans and the mentally ill.
As Greenwald noted, the NYT “published an emotionally gut-wrenching but complete fiction that never had any evidence — that Officer Sicknick’s skull was savagely bashed in with a fire extinguisher by a pro-Trump mob until he died.” The media told us that an alleged transgender exposure in the Wi Spa in Los Angeles was an anti-trans hoax (also untrue). They told us that the emails recovered on Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation. They did this just before an election and used that claim to stymie the story on social media. But they were not Russian disinformation. They were a valid if minor news story the media consciously kept from its audience for partisan purposes."
Sullivan can't help himself with the Rittenhouse business as he had to add that Rittenhouse "had no business being there" (provably wrong), and, earlier in the article, that "This doesn't mean that Trump wasn't eager for Russian help" (wrong).
See how the Establishment Conservatives can't help themselves? Sullivan just HAS to put those things in there as he channels his inner Washington Generals eternal defend and retreat DC Beltway beta male.
I have to give him credit however. When someone like Sullivan sounds the alarm about the corporate media, it shows that The Narrative is failing so badly it isn't even funny.
Rittenhouse did have reason to be there, and the following video is the best run down of the case. No games, no prosletyzing, no nonsense. Robert Barnes walks Michael Malice through the events. That the Corporate Media and the Prosecution are spinning it in a way that is unrecognizable to the truth is par for the course for the Prometheans:
It starts at 5:57, after Barnes updates Malice on the Alex Jones trial fiasco, another case that shows that the country formerly known as These United States is on the back 9:
The entire thing is eye opening. The behavior of the Corporate Press and the Prosecution is so repellent it defies imagination.
"Annuit Coeptis", our Enterprise, the great Experiment, is irretrievably broken. The lizards at the top and their minions in the Corporate Press are still able to warp the minds of many of the animals on the farm. Plan accordingly.

Carlson has really done it this time. How can you tell? The Keepers of the Narrative, the Prometheans, the NWO, the Cathedral ... whatever you want to call them, they're FURIOUS.
Tucker and his group have come out with a documentary called 'Patriot Purge'.
It talks about the management of The Herd. This is simply not to be done. Here's why. The formula is simple. If there isn't a crisis to be used to frighten the animals on the Tax Farm, you create a situation to get them to buy in to the action that is necessary.
An example:
If you want to have the USA go into a small, southeast Asian country in order to 'stop communism', you have to have them attack you. It's absurd that the fall of Vietnam to the communists would create a 'Domino Effect' and somehow threaten the nuclear capable, monster budget USA. But people believed it, because the Gulf of Tonkin false flag worked, even though it was fake.
Carlson's take in his documentary is that one six is the same thing. He's right. Everyone from me, to Glenn Greenwald, to some of the major media outlets have documented the incident and found it to have been infiltrated by feds.
However, they need one six to be this scary, bloody event in order to clamp down further on Americans.
The idea of a false flag simply can't get in front of anyone, because it will not only cement in place the fraudulence of the FedGov, it will move a few million to start questioning things.
This preview is making the Deep State go bananas:
You can see the SJW's going crazy here if you want. They're already apoplectic, and having a total meltdown.

I had never heard of Freddie deBoer until this week, when Glenn Greenwald tweeted out a link to this article.
It turns out that deBoer is one of the truth telling leftists. Apparently he thinks that intelligence might be hereditary, and has written about it. deBoer has written about how the school system has failed, and it must be on point because big shots are writing that he's 'wrong'.
It seems that deBoer's worst offense is that he's not on the SJW WOKE bandwagon. As a matter of fact, he's opposed to it, and writes viscerally against it.
Witness:
I can see why Greenwald tweeted this out. deBoer is correct. The Corporate Media, corrupt and agenda driven even in the olden days, has now layered on the WOKE schmaltz all over every issue, and determined that there will be no deviation from the Agenda.
What caught my eye was the line that "The vast majority of of the country is not woke, including the vast majority of women and people of color." It is surprising that someone outside the Bad Neighborhood recognizes this.
deBoer is right. I am in a public high school that has, maybe, 1% white students. There are few white people in any positions of power. There are no republicans. This goes for the school district, as well as the city.
And no one is Woke, certainly not in the Corporate Media / Blue Check Twitter version. Let me put it this way. I've been at the High School for 20 years. We have never celebrated, in any way, "Pride Month". No flags, no mention of it during announcements, no chatter on our school software. June is the month when we have to get our students to pass their NY State Regents exams. So there are two forces at work: we need students to pass so we don't have time or energy for woke nonsense, and the black community doesn't roll over or bow down to the Alphabet Agenda.
It doesn't have to. What white liberal blue check twitter social justice warrior is going to go into an area like mine, either in person or digitally, and tell these black people how to think, act and what to believe?
Answer: zero.
Additionally, we have a large population of Jamaicans and West Indians. They are traditionally against movements like 'pride month', to put it mildly.
What you have is what deBoer, above, describes. The Corporate Media / Blue Check brigade will impugn the white, Christian communities, because they know that they are still afraid of being called a name. But they will never attack any other group. This is why deBoer is correct about the dying Media. They won't and can't adjust; they are immature, ill-educated, and their worldview, minuscule and clownish, is a joke to the majority of the population.

Greenwald has the whole thing on his site. Here are the highlights:
"The attempt to equate being unvaccinated with stupidity and ignorance suffered a massive blow on Wednesday night when NBA star Jonathan Isaac was asked why he was hesitant to take the vaccine. Like many unions, the NBA's player union has refused a vaccine mandate, and Isaac, the 23-year-old player with the Orlando Magic who previously had and recovered from COVID, gave a stunningly compelling, informed, well-reasoned and thoughtful exposition on his rationale for not wanting the vaccine. Isaac also defended the right of individuals to make their own choice. One need not agree with his ultimate conclusion on the vaccine to see how groundless (and obnoxious) it is to claim that anyone who chooses not to take the vaccine — like him — is stupid, ignorant and primitive. I really encourage everyone to watch his two-minute master class in demonstrating why such a choice can, depending on one's circumstances, be perfectly rational:
Is there anyone who can argue with a straight face that Isaac sounds stupid, ignorant or evil? One can cogently dispute the wisdom of his conclusion: while it is true that most people who recover from COVID (as he did) enjoy "natural immunity” in the form of antibodies — indeed, one major study found that “the natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine" — some studies conclude that immunity is stronger still with the vaccine."
Then GG goes and destroys Cuomo in a pantsuit, 'governor' Kathy Hochul:
"To see this arrogance and hubris in its purest expression, one can watch the truly creepy and demented invocations of religious precepts from Gov. Hochul in comments that have to be heard to be believed. Gov. Hochul, clearly very comfortable with her newly inherited power as the state's unelected governor, delivered these remarks when announcing that she was prepared to fire tens of thousands of health care workers who refused to take the COVID vaccine — in other words, presumably informed health care workers who have decided not to get vaccinated even if it means losing their jobs: 16% of all industry workers in the state. She would replace the disobedient health care workers with National Guard officers, many of whom have "lapsed” licenses or are just recently graduated. This is justified, she said, because those who have disobeyed her decree to get vaccinated are not just stupid but have turned their backs on God:
What conceivable argument can be mounted to justify this mass firing of public health care workers in the name of protecting the public health? If you had to seek medical care at a hospital and are fully vaccinated — and thus, according to President Biden, face a "very low risk" of serious illness from COVID — would you rather be cared for by unvaccinated doctors and nurses who have worked in that facility for years, or National Guard officers or recently graduated students or retired people with "lapsed” medical licenses who, in a slapdash and manic way, have been tossed into the hospital to satisfy Gov. Hochul's desire to punish the disobedient? Again, if you are vaccinated, why would you regard unvaccinated doctors and nurses as a risk to you?"
In what world are people like this worth anything? I wouldn't let Biden, Hochul, or the rest of them in the same room with anyone under 18. They're disgusting. Greenwald sees it clearly. Most people don't. They're not able to think for themselves.

Glenn Greenwald pounced on their latest take on pandemic mandates. Guess what? Your body is not your own. You don't have bodily autonomy. If things are serious enough, then your body belongs to someone else. Remember, BUG19 is a thing. Stay safe. Double mask. 2 weeks to flattenthecurve....
I wonder if they feel the same way about abortion? After all, your decision could 'harm someone else', as they point out in their awful and Orwellian statements.
That last quote is amazing, and it belongs on the tombstone of a once proud organization:
"In fact, far from compromising civil liberties, vaccine mandates actually further civl liberties...."
Only a midwit partisan hack, addled with TDS could type that sentence. Simply awful.
My comment was this:
"The ACLU I grew up with (my mother got their newsletter and donated regularly) is gone. One's opinion on vaccines is irrelevant here. Their statement reads like an organization that has been corrupted, as well as afraid to go against the pro vaccine faction of Progressive Liberals - a group that is just as doctrinaire as the people who are anti vaccine for all vaccines. That an adult would write the things in that op-ed, without seeing the double standard and hypocrisy brings truth to the statement that "man is not a rational animal, but it is a rationalizing animal."
Interestingly and somewhat ironically, the consistent and honorable Left has never lost its trip wire sensitivity to organized power and wealth. An Italian marxist put together an incredible timeline and paper as to how the pandemic was used to stop the economy in order to shore up the GloboCap financial banks. I found it and his premise compelling. Since when have the Power Elite been concerned with ... our health? He states that we have it all backwards, and it deals with money and consolidation of power.
The ACLU seems to be simply taking sides. As Trump Derangement Syndrome infected the minds of the (supposedly) liberal left, it seems that the ACLU can't seem to avoid taking a stand and pissing off its base. That they would write, vet, and approve statements like
"[Many claim that] vaccines are a justifiable intrusion on autonomy and bodily integrity. That may sound ominous, because we all have the fundamental right to bodily integrity and to make our own health care decisions. But these rights are not absolute. They do not include the right to inflict harm on others..." is incredible.
It means that the ACLU as we knew it is gone. It has become simply part of the Corporate Media Gov't partisan hackery that passes for political opinion today.
The New Civil Liberties Alliance is what the ACLU used to be. My time, effort, and money go there now."

I read Greenwald's articles as soon as they come out. He's a brave, honest man. He is now going after the asinine, destructive, and freedom stifling policies of the New Religion of COVID!.
I responded with this comment. I hope Greenwald's article gets a huge audience, as his platform is gigantic and the coming division of These United States, and the destruction of NYC is proceeding quickly:
"This a fantastic and timely article. Heather MacDonald was talking about this exact topic well over a year ago, but she's a "conservative" so she got no play at all.
I work in the Bad Neighborhood and the lockdowns and masks have been devastating. I had two seniors, young women, who attempted suicide. But for early intervention they would have succeeded. No one cared - because COVID! Because they were unable to meet or socialize, so we could use two weeks (now over 600 days) to "flattenthecurve", they had all of their teen issues exacerbated and they were almost destroyed. I had another student get shot and killed. He would have graduated in June 2021, but no one cared, because of two things: he wasn't killed by a white male wearing a badge, and because COVID! I wrote about him here:
As NYC begins an insane round of vaccine segregation, the ripple effects will be terrible. If you were told for the last 2 years that the USA was a systemically racist, unconscionably corporate, bigoted hellhole since 1619, then told to get a Gov't and Big Pharma vaccine because, well, THIS time those selfsame institutions are suddenly looking out for your best interests - you'd be leery of the vaccine too. This is why we have around 39% of the African American population fully vaccinated. But NYC is seeing to it that the Black population will not be allowed to go into restaurants, clubs, museums, or any other establishment. This is only one aspect of the continued madness of this new Religion.
Not only is the cost benefit analysis not being recognized, the trampling of Civil Rights is afoot, because COVID! The silence of the ACLU is unbelievable. This new religion of COVID, seemingly spearheaded by outfits like the World Economic Forum and their "Great Reset", is going to have the effect that all of these globalist maneuvers will have: it will decimate, discriminate and destroy the people who can least afford it.
NYC has collapsed under its 'leadership' (I'm in NYC), and Greenwald's assessment is correct, timely, and deserves a wide audience. We need regular people to push back, because the Corporate Media / Government Complex isn't."
