  1. I would vote for Jimmy Dore. I don't agree with him on everything, but he has integrity, which is hard to find these days.

  2. Let's not forget that Taiwan produces all the microchips that the American military uses in its weaponry. And along with all the other West Pacific Islands we control, Taiwan is part of the naval containment of China. Much more important strategically than Ukraine.

  3. The Federal Reserve had promulgated regulatory handbooks and memos advising their banks to de-bank people for their political views.

  4. Have you ever heard of Jason Reza Jorjani? His thesis is that the same entities spoken of in religious myths are the ones influencing world events: Titans vs Olympians, Vannir vs Aesir, Nephilim vs Elohim, Asuras vs Daevas, etc; the majority position is that of the malevolent beings who seek to prevent humans from developing, while the minority position which occasionally wages war against the majority seeks to raise up humans to join them in their fight against the tyrannical majority. Jorjani's view is that calamities will increase to depopulate the planet enough to establish a neofeudalist society with a stricter caste system like in the bad old days in accordance with the plans of the Daevas/Elohim.

  5. China is a largely lawless ancapistan place with a mafia that occasionally decides to burn your business to the ground and whack your family members for arbitrary reasons. Not exactly the American dream.

  6. Russia and China are just as fucked as everyone else. The reasons are different, but the outcomes will all rhyme.

  7. Regarding Ukraine, America is the bad guy, but Putin is the worse guy: he's rounding up ethnic minorities and sending them in futile meatwave attacks to take small farm fields. His regime has openly declared that Ukrainian is not a real ethnicity, and that Russia will make the Ukrainians remember that they are actually Russian -- to that end, they've kidnapped thousands of children to ship off to Siberia for reeducation, targeted schools with their missiles, and then targeted children's hospitals to kill off the survivors -- they then wait a half hour for rescue operations to begin before sending more missiles to kill off the rescuers. The shit going on in Ukraine is fucking grizzly.

  8. Their god required child sacrifices according to Moses and Ezekiel. ("Molech" was a term that described sacrifices of tossing children into the fire to appease Yhwh.) Give this historical fact, it is not surprising that they would starve and incinerate children.

  9. Unexpected, but not unappreciated. If you can get Jeff Snider and/or Emil Kalinowski on, they could explain a lot of the details about how the global monetary system functions and the role of the eurodollar (not so much the petrodollar), inventory cycles, the Fed's "quantitative bullshit" programs, etc.

  10. "No comment" because Hawaii is run by Democrats, and Biden won't mention a Democrat failure. He really is Beijing Biden.

  11. He really did not pull his punches in this one. Awesome.

  12. Free markets are necessary for civilization at scale. The problem is that our culture is decaying -- the kleptocrats are vultures pecking at the corpse of our republic.

  13. It's not "capitalism" per se. It's more like "plutocracy turned kleptocracy".

  14. Cognitive dissonance has a confusing taste. I remember all the reports about how the Tigray force was days away from capturing the capital, and I wondered why it never came to pass. What a clusterfuck. Hard to accept that it was all lies.

  15. First past the post voting necessarily leads to strategic voting due to the spoiler effect. It is fun to pontificate about principles, but the reality is that we use a voting system in America that devolves into 2 parties because the only choice it is suitable for making is between exactly 2 candidates. If we instead used the Score Then Automatic Run-off (STAR) method, each voter would be able to vote their conscience without concern about the spoiler effect. Edit: Krystal Ball is an inconsistent airhead.

  16. Fwiw we already have universal background checks for firearm sales. If they could stop these tragedies, they would have already.

  17. It's not just a phase. This is who they always were -- underneath the makeup and brightly-colored T-shirts they were goth all along.

  18. That should disqualify her from public office.

  19. Maybe if we somehow incorporated giving Stinger missiles to homeless people into a housing first policy, Congress would see fit to fund it.

  20. A $1 Federal Reserve Note is worth less than 98ยข right now because of the accumulated, realized losses on the Fed's balance sheet, which are more than twice their capital. If they hadn't gone technically bankrupt, they'd be at 200x leverage. I'd rather not own too many dollars in this scenario.

  21. The US is wrong with its meddling in other countries' affairs. I'd argue that Russia is more wrong than the US regarding Ukraine specifically since they are pursuing genocide there once again, but the roles are pretty clearly reversed in Africa: the US is the military aggressor causing humanitarian crises in Africa, while Russia uses diplomacy.

  22. It is wild that American Protestants largely do not care about the Christian children being killed by Israel in Gaza.

  23. The recovery here in SWFL after Ian was pursued with competence. We pulled together and got a lot of help from our governor. Idk anyone who dealt with FEMA.

  24. I appreciate the measured take on this. There are plenty of people trying to convince everyone that they have a super magical crystal ball and can foresee the greatest boon or the bane, depending on the party affiliation of that magical crystal ball.

  25. The god of the Hebrews in the Old Testament not only commanded genocide, he also demanded child sacrifice: Exodus 22:29 "Do not hold back offerings from your granaries or your vats. You must give me the firstborn of your sons." Ezekiel 20:25-26 "Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD."

  26. Russia's own propaganda is full of maps showing Russia annexing Scandinavia and much of continental Europe, so it's not that much of a stretch to say that they want conquest.

  27. They got a few details wrong regarding the Libya saga: the gold dinar was a threat to the East African Franc, which is controlled by France, not the dollar; this was confirmed in Hillary's leaked emails. So those slave markets in Libya are transacting in francs, not dollars. The fact that France uses the euro and ceded its domestic monetary sovereignty to the EU just makes the scenario that much more cynical and fucked up.

  28. And the Soros-funded "fact checkers" are already trying to gaslight us, saying "nothing to see here, move along."

  29. I haven't been paying much attention to Jimmy recently. If the Russian government is not responsible for the death of Navalny, then who is? They put him in a literal Soviet gulag in the middle of Siberia.

  30. This is concerning. However, to play Donald's Advocate for a moment, one of the issues his side has brought up was specifically racial harassment of Jewish students and agitators blocking them from getting to classes or otherwise moving on campus. Back when I was in college, I saw videos of UC Berkeley student "protesters" specifically blocking white students from getting to class by taking over footpath choke points, so it is not inconceivable.
