Donald Trump was just indicted…but why?
Kit Knightly
Some people really hate campaign finance violations
Last night it was announced that former-President Donald Trump was being indicted by the Manhattan Grand Jury, he is expected to surrender himself to authorities later today.
The indictment is sealed until arraignment, but we do know the rough nature of the charge(s). Essentially, the accusation is that he paid “hush money” to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels to prevent her from going to the press. CNN is abuzz with anonymous sources “familiar with the case” who are predicting 30-plus charges related fraud, but all that’s really known is that it concerns Daniels’ hush money.
Hush money, in itself, is not technically illegal, but if it could be established that campaign funds were used to make the payment, and Trump knew about it, it would be a felony campaign finance violation.
Yes, a campaign finance violation. That’s all. Much smaller names have had much bigger crimes swept under the rug.
Hell, Hillary Clinton’s campaign was found guilty of the same exact crime over their commissioning the ridiculous “Steele Dossier”. No arrests, just a fine…and they were literally trying to spread misinformation to swing an election.
So why can we expect to see Trump’s mugshot on the front cover of every newspaper tomorrow? Why is Donald Trump the first President to ever be indicted, and not, say, Richard Nixon or George Bush jr?
Well, there are two schools of thought on that subject, or rather two competing narratives.
The liberal media/democrat/Twitter crowd story is that Donald Trump is a dangerous-quasi dictator who attempted a coup in January 2021 and that he should be punished and persecuted for any possible crime in any conceivable way to ensure he never comes anywhere near political power ever again, lest he turn into Literally Hitler.
The Republican/Fox News story is that Joe Biden’s administration – and the political establishment in general – is conducting a witchhunt against Trump to either prevent his running for President in 2024, or so discredit him with the electorate that he cannot win.
Which of these stories is true? Well, neither. Or at least, neither make any sense.
The former is clearly the kind of deranged thinking we’ve all become accustomed to since 2015 first introduced us to Orange Man Bad, and I will waste no time refuting it again.
But the latter is likewise illogical – even if it is at least comparatively grounded in the real world – failing to account for (and/or deliberately ignoring) two important things:
- Trump’s base will never desert him over this, because they believe it’s a witchhunt. If anything this will solidify his following in certain spheres because it reinforces his “anti-establishment” bona fides.
- The 2024 Presidential election will be fixed, just like 2020 was.
A more subtle analysis might suggest Trump is being used as a convenient scapegoat to normalise the idea of criminal persecution of political opponents, and while there is probably a little truth to that, it still gives the narrative too much credit, it cedes too much reality to the story.
Because that’s all it is, a story. Political theatre, emphasis very much on the theatre. You know it is, because the Guardian specifically said it wasn’t.
It will entrench both sides, create division and fuel bitter online debates. It will be used to reinforce the illusion of difference between the political parties, or sell the idea that the system works and no one is above the law. To act as fertiliser for more stories down the road, be they further criminal proceedings against Trump, or another “violent insurrection”. Maybe both.
I can guarantee that neither side will be allowed a clean win. Trump won’t be convicted completely, nor will he be exonerated.
If he’s cleared it will be on a technicality, so Republicans can celebrate while Dems can bleat about a broken justice system or how “Trump would be in prison if he was black”. If he’s convicted his sentence will be nothing but a fine, and he won’t be barred from running for office, or he’ll get it overturned by appeal.
It won’t end, it will just keep building on itself. An eternal circus, full of infinite clowns in a neverending pie fight. Pick a side if you want, but you’ll never get anything but messy.
Meanwhile, the real problems persist. The real policies endangering ordinary people – and pushed by Republicans and Democrats alike – will continue to spread. A prison being built up around us.
So, why was Trump indicted?
To give people something to talk about.

Straight Down the Middle – Selective Prosecution and Jury Unanimity – Ep. 2
Professor Jed Rubenfeld
Jun 10, 2024
In Episode 2 of Straight Down the Middle, I take a look at whether the decision to charge and try Donald Trump for these crimes was “selective prosecution” on the part of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
I also tackle the issue of jury unanimity and whether the jury needed to find a unanimous verdict and what “unanimous” really meant here and how it was applied.
0:00 Selective Prosecution
7:45 Jury Unanimity
14:55 Outro
Anything to keep that two party narrative going; I mean if a third party emerged out of this dumpster fire, they would have to bribe and brownstone a whole new set of politicians…
The only thing the author overlooks is that
1. The 2016 election was also fixed.
Trump is here for many reasons, which all benefit the elite.
Polarization and the mocking of conspiracy theorists.
The whole Q thing helped in pacifying the extreme right wing militias.
A “crazy man” in the white house could fire lots of people they wanted out.
Getting extreme leftwing antiestablishment people to vote democrat again.
And the list goes on…
and it help create lunatics like this.
Oh well spotted; the Lent thing is such a give away, I kind of wonder why more people aren’t mentioning it… A bit like storming a mosque during Ramadan…
What a surprise..
For the 2nd week running he wasn’t arrested.
it like a Q drop.
Think of all that free marketing though.
“Donald Trump was just indicted…but why?”Because he’s a big piece of shit, MAGA scum, a stupid fuckhead, an asshole, simply a criminal, a senile old turd, a sick psychopath…
Your description is entirely accurate.
So why hasn’t Biden been indicted?
or Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Bush and Cheney — all war criminals who ran torture programs and killed millions.
Republicans don’t want Mr.Trump and more than the Democrats. The latter will be trying to split the vote in an attempt to do what exactly? It’s all the same is it not?
Their likely outcome will be a successful Third Party, something the degenerates underestimated. Something that could fracture the once republic once and for all.
You’re either with us or against us will be their slogan.
We need to understand that the policy makers, the ones that run the government could care less if it’s a Republican or Democrat. The policy remains the same more or less.
Mr.Trump realized that in his presidency. They threw all the degenerates at him, forever him to take their policy and handcuffed his ability to do anything positive other than start wars.
Something the anti Trump mobs to this day could care little about. It’s all optics to them.
Want to be US citizens who still have not figured out they are just seen as visitors by the establishment overlords. As fake as Covid, Trump was a racist whitey about to take mess with their brownie livelihood. Come on man ! …..
Support Ukraine, China is evil, Mr.Putin must go, BLM matters … bla bla bla.
The one thing working in Mr.Trumps’ favour here is that the bulk of the democratic party pushing this agenda ( not to mention the Republicans as well) is basically made up of idiots who will ultimately fail in their attempt to undermine him as they have failed in every other attempt to date.
Just look at Mr.Desantis. He is so out of his element he does not know if he’s coming or going. He’s another attempt to derail Mr.Trump in 2024. It won’t work either. Stick to the governorship.
The only accomplishment these people have achieved is the eventual demise of their party. Unfortunately there will be colossal collateral damage in their wake. It’s not like they care. Most will simply relocate to their second home abroad. They care nothing for the electorate they pretend to.
Take the BLM movement for example. Defund the police and solidify the majority of the black vote. What a fantastic policy move?
Mr.Trumps’ biggest problem is the base that he needs to attract in order to get elected. It’s a wise move whether he is truly one of them or just plainly understands them.
A Trump/Gabbard ticket for a third party win just become reality in 2024. Like it or not, it’s the best possible outcome for the US if that republic is to survive.
That anyone thought Trump intended to do anything, other than serve his banker boss puppet masters, says more about voting Americans, than anyone else ever could.
No one gets a presidential nomination unless they are already bought and paid for by the banker bosses. They always win because they control all sides.
Time to wake up and admit to having been played.
The reason many support Trump is because the alternative is no hope at all. The Deep State/ Criminal Cabal run the country. Trump gave people hope that this could be overcome. If you are right, and Trump also reports to the ruling elite, then there is no hope. It’s a hard one to swallow, but may be true. If do, we may as well all give up.
indicted? Just what does that mean? the grand jury is asked if they have enough evidence to proceed to trial. not enough evidence to convict. Why would anyone expect to have him surrender? Last I looked we are still innocent until proven guilty. Our political landscape has become a large dog and pony show that would be discarded to the hucksters that followed the Barnum and bailey shows that provided us with some entertainment while our pockets were picked.— I, Grampa
I must salute Kit for having the acumen to enunciate very inconvenient truths regarding Trump as a mediatised figure. It needs to be made clear though, this charade called ‘elections’ has been manipulated and used by the ruling elite to entrench their power, not only since 2020, but since the invention of ‘democracy.’ That’s essentially the role of democracy, and it’s been explained since antiquity, beginning with Plato, Aristotle, through the works of Alexis de Tocqueville, Adam Smith, Nietzsche, John Adams, Spengler, Buffin de Chosal, etc. One very simple and well-understood rule of rulership has been well expressed by the British axiom: divide and rule. No matter what democratic governments do, they must always pit people against one another. In this way, the people expand all their energy in internecine struggle and have no inclination left to see their enslavement (it took India almost 100 years to free itself of the British yoke).
In the West, and especially in the US, the ruling elites has perfected the art of dividing the electorate for their own benefit. So, whilst your assertion that Trump may be used to perpetuate the political circus is spot on, it bears repeating that this isn’t just a momentary fluke of these last few election cycles, but it’s in fact the precise implementation of the elites’ rulership modus operandi. Hence, we have a political system characterized by ‘margin democracy.’ The margins between a two-party system, which is really a uniparty system, is so thin that manipulation is easy and prevalent at every election. This perfect division in the middle also ensures that no matter how hard the opponents fight each other, there could never be a clear winner, and both are weakened in the process. The key for the rulers is to write clever and believable scripts where everyone is none the wiser. For example, you now have an absolute brain-dead moron in the white House, but he’s been kept alive artificially (and probably has many doubles), so it’s OK if Trump is a corrupt robber baron, has not drained the swamp as he promised, has repudiated his own re-election and the protesters who supported him on January 6th and has forcefully pumped toxic experimental concoctions into the people’s arms (at warp speed). Compared to Biden, Trump is still a viable candidate for many so-called conservatives. In this latest saga, Trump has been depicted as the unsung hero, unjustly punished by his rabid opponents. Is there anyone naïve enough to think that the show producers aren’t fully aware that this will cement his fans’ approval rating? As for the Democrats, making Trump a felon will further intensify their hatred of the man, so they’d prefer electing a decomposing corpse as president rather than giving their nemesis another mandate!
Notwithstanding, as you rightly pointed out, the game is entirely fixed, so the PTB can leave nothing to chance and declare whomever they want as the winner. The corruption and fraud of the electoral system in the US has been well documented by authors such as Mark Crispin Miller (who is not a regular host on CNN and Fox News). The propaganda surrounding the myth of democracy is so thick that it’s become ingrained in the people’s psyche and no amount of reasoning will open their eyes to the truth. Even folks whom one would consider to be astute and open-minded cannot let go of the spell, as they believe the solution to all our ills consists of delegating our sovereign legislative rights to vile politicians. These well-intentioned folks believe that the labels ‘liberal’ and ‘conservative,’ can make a difference; they don’t see that both camps are equally incapable of doing anything about the real problems, because they can’t and don’t want to, they’re all grifters of the lowest order–including RINO Trump.
What needs to happen is a change of the system. No more vesting of the People’s legislative and executive power to dumb and incompetent representatives. The truth is, we’d be much better off without them, like the proverbial frog would be just fine without a scorpion on its back.
Superb commentarium.
They’ve been trying to get him since he won the 2016 presidency, which scared the deep state.

“Failings” are designed into the psyop so that they can be debated endlessly, giving the pretense of genuine inquiry.
Who flipin’ cares!!!
Please don’t go along the distracting game of the mainstream media… and also of the ‘alternative’ media… both of which continue to deceive people into believing their votes do choose a president or a government!!!
Such illusion… mind boggling!!!
Trump will be denied the Retardican candacy, and DeSantis will get the Retardican ticket.
Trump will go independent or third party, taking his base with him.
This will split the Retardican vote.
Demonrats win regardless how weak and mentally ill their candidate is.
Regardless, the march of tyranny continues.
Theater for the masses.
If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let us do it. Like Stalin said, it doesn’t matter who votes, it only matters who counts the votes.
We ain’t seen nothing yet.
They ain’t seen nothing yet.
Some people think this indictment is pure smoke and mirrors/ kabuki theatre/ bread and circuses to distract everyone from more important things that are going on.
I can understand that, but I really don’t think that’s what it is. You can never underestimate the level of Trump Derangement Syndrome amongst the Democrats, the MSM, the Hollywood luvvies, the shitlibs and the libtards. They hate, loathe and despise the Orange Man with a passion that is difficult to comprehend. They are obsessed by him. “Getting” Trump is all that matters to them. It is all they live for. It is at the very centre of their existence. The polar ice caps could melt, the Earth could be consumed in a fireball after being struck by a giant meteor.
But that doesn’t matter.
Just so long as they can get Trump for something.
Just so long as they can get him for anything.
They hate him more than Chief Inspector Dreyfus hated Inspector Clouseau.
TDS doesn’t change the fact that Trump should be charged with treason and / or sedition for Operation Warp Speed and release of the real bio weapon, the death clot jab. Trump is the one that issued the Executive Emergency Order that resulted in states of all colors issuing mandates.
Trump is just another banker boss puppet POS doing what he is told by the central bank puppet masters. In the late 1980s, early 1990s, Trump was facing a multi-billion dollar bankruptcy and was bailed out by banker Wilbur Ross. Who was Wilbur Ross working for? Rothschild. Trump appointed Ross as Secretary of Commerce during his admin.
Stop suffering from the cult of personality people.
Methinks that “Trump Derangement Syndrome” equally afflicts the RINO conservatives crowd, who are so obsessed with their cartoonish superhero, that they keep on bringing him up and literally buy all he says (including his ridiculous trading cards). I for one, abhor both the Democratic and republican clown nominees equally. Fancy that!
Putin, Lukashenko have taken derangement syndrome to psychotic extremes, I suppose it must be the media I don’t watch.
America may be on the brink of nuclear war with Russia and China, its banking system may be on the verge of collapse, the economy and currency may be facing meltdown from money printing and de dollarisation, the infrastructure may be collapsing, half of Ohio may have been poisoned for years in an American Chernobyl, factories and food processing plants may be exploding and burning down all over the country for no apparent reason, but don’t worry.
Because the powers that be are laser focussed on the really crucially important issue of the day: Trumpo The Magnificent paying off one of his paramours ten years ago. It’s good to know we are all in such safe hands. It certainly puts my mind at rest.
The “American Chernobyl” was at Three Mile Island, NY, a nuclear plant. Idaho is a chemical disaster, more like an “American Bhopal”:
“The Bhopal disaster occurred when about 45 tons of the gas methyl isocyanate escaped from a plant owned by a subsidiary of the U.S.-based Union Carbide Corporation. Later investigations established that substandard operating and safety procedures at the understaffed plant had led to the catastrophe.”
No need for Union Carbide to outsource any more. Crumbling infrastructure has turned the U$A into a Third World country on their doorstep.
Pedantic correction; PA, not NY:
Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station is a closed nuclear power plant on Three Mile Island in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania on Lake Frederic, a reservoir in the Susquehanna River just south of Harrisburg.
I think it’s not what this is about. What’s happening is that the wizards behind the curtain are robbing you of your sovereign right to represent yourself in any legislation that may ultimately affects your life, health and prosperity. They want you to be mesmerised by the political circus and renounce your sovereign birthright.
You’re welcome.
The person is Mr Trump X President of The United States not former., which is a representative of a Global World Champion of an International body Governed by rules and regulative Authorities.
I have a co-worker who is a “high-IQ” type and is undoubtedly very book smart. The mere mention of Trump will cause him to RANT for several minutes about “STUPID” Trump supporters who are too idiotic to understand let alone trust the science.
Trump is clearly Controlled Opposition and his job (unwittingly or not) was to make the “right-wing” opposition look crazy and deranged and blackwash all such views. This is the same job that Alex Jones and David Icke have- yes, all 3 say genuine truth but they also make the truth look “crazy”.
You don’t even have to listen to Trump to know he’s CO. Just look at all of the Illuminati hand gestures he makes. No other politician besides Merkel does them so often! WTF- does he get paid a dime every time he does the upside-down triangle?
American body language is differential to Europeans as it is. It’s how they dress emerging into a public sphere protraying a US Globist Corporation from a board meeting and commonwealth language volume controls. imo.
Blackwash? You disapprove of whitewash?
How about a collection of suggested Trump 2024 campaign slogans.
I’ll start us off.
Trump 2024: this time he really means it.
Trump 2024: lock you up.
Trump 2024: cause he’s less bad than the other guy.
Trump 2024: the plandemic, part deux. This time it’s real.
Politics is THEATER. Plain and simple. Anyone who still imagines that “their guy” is different and will actually fix something is no different than some guy at the park wearing a cape & LARPing. People refuse to face this fact.

Note the flag
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Space_Force
at a June 2018 meeting of the National Space Council, President Donald Trump directed the Department of Defense to begin the necessary processes to establish the U.S. Space Force as a branch of the Armed Forces. On 19 February 2019, Space Policy Directive 4 was signed, initially calling for the placement of the U.S. Space Force within the Department of the Air Force, later creating and transferring the service to the Department of the Space Force. Legislative provisions for the Space Force were included in the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, which was signed into law on 20 December 2019. The Space Force was established as the sixth armed service branch, with Air Force general John “Jay” Raymond, the commander of Air Force Space Command and U.S. Space Command, becoming the first chief of space operations. On 14 January 2020, Raymond was officially sworn in as chief of space operations by Vice President Mike Pence.
On 20 December, its first organizational change occurred when Secretary of the Air Force Barbara Barrett designated Air Force Space Command’s Fourteenth Air Force as Space Operations Command. All of Air Force Space Command’s 16,000 active duty and civilian personnel were assigned to the new service.

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s guilty plea this month for lying to FBI agents while he worked in the Trump administration raises the question of what incriminating information he gave special counsel Robert Mueller in exchange for his guilty plea. Vice President Pence, who headed the Trump transition, says he is not one of the senior transition officials Flynn says were aware of his conversations with the Russian ambassador. Flynn was fired as national security adviser in February for lying to Pence, and others, about the nature of those conversations. Here’s a timeline of key events about Flynn, and other aspects of the investigation into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 elections, that have a connection to Pence.

Book Review: The Storm is Upon Us (Updated)
Aug 21, 2022
This updated edition of Mike Rothschild’s [not related, apparently!] exhaustive history of the Q movement is more important than ever. Why? Partly because of the crucial role played by so many QAnon devotees in the storming of the Capitol on 6 January 2021 but mostly because Rothschild documents how much of this insanity has penetrated to the heart of the new Republican party, propelled by many of America’s most loathsome individuals, from Ted Cruz and Donald Trump Jr to Alex Jones, Michael Flynn and Roseanne Barr. As Rothschild writes of Trump’s first national security adviser, “Flynn’s family even filmed themselves taking the ‘digital soldier oath’… part of what would become a total enmeshment between members of the Flynn family and QAnon.”

The optimism that sees the events in the Capitol as the last chapter of that story [i.e. Trump], however, must be heavily tempered with the fear that rather than representing an endgame, it instead highlighted a first dramatic skirmish in a new kind of warfare. That contention is at the heart of a compelling book, The Storm Is Upon Us, to be published this week, by the California-based journalist Mike Rothschild. The book examines the internet-based conspiracies that led to the assault on the Capitol in forensic detail, in particular the story of QAnon, the obscure series of anonymous “prophecies” that became the declared philosophy of many of those who travelled from across the country intent on overturning Joe Biden’s election victory, the philosophy that even [Alex] Jones thought was a conspiracy too far.

https://news.yahoo.com/exclusive-trump-to-be-charged-tuesday-with-34-felony-counts-but-spared-handcuffs-and-mug-shot-001241750.html
Tue, April 4, 2023
Donald Trump will be placed under arrest on Tuesday and informed that he has been charged with 34 felony counts for falsification of business records, according to a source who has been briefed on the procedures for the arraignment of the former president. A New York City police arrest report summarizing the charges against Trump will then be prepared and entered into the court system before he is led into a courtroom to be formally arraigned on the charges, none of which are misdemeanors.
But, the source said, Trump will not be put in handcuffs, placed in a jail cell or subjected to a mug shot — typical procedures even for white-collar defendants until a judge has weighed in on pretrial conditions. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, which has been consulting with the Secret Service and New York City court officials, concluded there was no reason to subject the former president to handcuffs or a mug shot. The stated reason for handcuffing defendants is that they might be a flight risk or a threat to the district attorney or court personnel, neither of which was judged to be relevant to the handling of a former president protected at all times by a phalanx of Secret Service agents.

Jonathan Freedland:
Are Americans meant to feel grateful to John Bolton, the walrus-moustached, bellicose former national security adviser to Donald Trump? It’s tempting to say yes, as he serves up an election-year memoir that provides a veritable arsenal of ammunition for Democrats to hurl at the president between now and 3 November.
Lost in a Dark Wood:
The game is like a bullfight with the Trump operation {1} being the matador and the libtards being the bull. The persona of Trump is a capote; so too are “Russian collusion” and “Ukraine quid pro quo”. The Trump operation continuously waves these distractions in front of the libtards in order to pump up the derangement and to keep them chasing phantoms. It’s a form of trolling.
1. I use the term “the Trump deep-state” in the original post, but here use “operation” as I think it aids clarity.

Refreshing thanks
It’s the Masons; no, it’s the Vatican; shut up, it was the Rosicrucians; don’t be naive, the City of London is pulling the strings; are you kidding? The Illuminati are to blame; yes, but the Templars already paved the way; you’re wrong, it all boils down to the Order of the Garter; so, it was the Crown who conspired, was it? Banksters are controlling the money supply; therefore they control everything. Do your homework buddy, it was the ****, I can bet my life on it, just read the Protocols; nah, haven’t you heard? Skull and Bones admitted they planned the whole thing; forget them all, it’s the Communists, just look at how the UN is organised; no, no and no; you’re all mistaken, I did a thorough research and I can assure you it’s the Thule and Vril Societies, just look up Karl Haushoffer and Gurdjieff; the latter went to the same seminar as Stalin and the former was admittedly the ideologue of Hitler. BS, it’s the deep State and the Industrial Military Complex; we have been warned long ago. Yes, of course, how about the Sion****, eh? They control the White House, don’t they? Hahaha, still believing in fairy tales, are we? I swear on a stack of bibles it’s the Chinese; they’ve been preparing their revenge against the West who humiliated them in WWII since 1949. No, it’s…; no, it’s…
So many ways frustrated and unconsciously remorseful middle class find to defend themselves and say: “it wasn’t me; I’ve got nothing to do with it; instead it’s ****,” when they can’t get their favourite cappuccino in the morning, can’t afford the holidays they once afforded and have time to spare online.
When things were going Ok though, no questions were asked as to how everything was cheap and life magically enjoyable and sweet; the world then was circumscribed to the Western democracies where the Welfare State prevailed, everything else was exoticism; they just enjoyed themselves, not even connecting their well-being to the poverty they witnessed in the “undeveloped” countries during their frequent exotic trips, which was just a spectacle worthy of some “fantastic” souvenirs to take home, or of false compassion.
Now that luck is turned, that “everyone is a Palestinian”, it’s the Vatican and the bankers. The same bankers who were instrumental in their previous quality of life and who never deserved a mention then, are suddenly scorned, a very convenient way to exonerate oneself, not to feel too bad about oneself, even to feel as a victim of the conspirators. The funny thing though is that when they are invited to elaborate on their statements, a cataract of more sterile and cold statements drowns you down, if a reply is received at all. When ever did pointing to the supposed guilty party and stepping back did solve anything? Isn’t the reasonable thing to do to dialogue with them, personally or through their writings, delve into their motives, their worldview and the connection it has with us and our own part in the business, apart being passive victims because we are not? And what’s the solution? Of course, this line of thinking leads to only one: “Hang the [current] bastards and get a set of new ones!” Do they allow you to discuss this solution? Nope, it’d show how false it is, and they’d have to discuss historical developments, failed previous attempts etc. Can’t afford that, it’s so sweet to just leave it at “it’s the Society of Skull and Bones, get’em. Period.”
Communist understanding of our human predicament isn’t an infantile “it’s the Vatican, [I’ve got nothing to do with it]”; it is the adult realisation backed by historical study that we all are participants in the functioning of the current mode of production, some more than others of course but that doesn’t exonerate the small cogs without whom the capitalist machine couldn’t run; and that is why the end of our difficulties or, to be more accurate, the morphing of our current difficulties into a human enjoyable life for everyone, from this perspective, passes through a worldwide withdrawal of the working class from serving the machine; but this withdrawal couldn’t happen before a radical change in consciousness brings about awareness of a morphed way for humans to dwell on this earth. This means a radical change in human way of living, because we aim at the machine, not at its cogs.
Whereas, the child screaming “it’s not me, it’s the Opus Dei!” is angry they lost their piece of cake and want it back. They want the current bankers to go and be replaced by fairer ones who must be controlled by a stronger State; that is, keep the machine but change these cogs. They’re not concerned and offer no response when they are asked why previous attempts failed to deliver results. Or they just say it’s the bankers, period; like the child who wants their cake without concerning themselves with the fact it takes money to make or get one. And if they have ideas that go beyond the mere changing of those cogs like Anarchism as a way of living, they generally don’t discuss how transition is made from current situation or wether time is mature for it; they just don’t wish to delve into such “philosophical speculations.”
My humble suggestion to those who espouse the conspiratorial view of history (as opposed to local conspiracies which do happen), let’s debate beyond throwing cold accusations which showed their impotence to make a single step into the solving of our problems. I like what Alan Watt (RIP) said on this matter: all human problems can be solved over some tables and chairs, beer and coffe. We have time.
Sure, and the moment “the communist understanding of our human predicament” has anything relevant to say and stops aligning itself with the scams being perpetrated by these (obviously non-existent) groups above, then I’ll listen. But these marvelloulsy perceptive Marxists have now had three whole fucking years to get their act together. They haven’t. So I can no longer hold my breath. They are either contolled or their “correct historical and economic analysis” is a steaming crock weaving its fumes around their arrogant smugness. Whilst they line up for the next jab, the next revelation of a new gender, the next glorious protest defacing a work of art to stop that fatal 2 percent temperature rise etc.
Note that I was referring to the communist understanding, not to the Left. Not even to self-perceived communists but to the communist understanding of our problems, as a body of thoughts.
This understanding is innocent of how people of the Left or even self-perceived communists/socialists have responded to the medical theater, or any other theater. Not only that, it explains it, Capital having to absorb everything and everyone whichever label they put on themselves before it exhausts itself.
So true, George. Ex-lefties of the world, unite!
That’s all very well, TCR, but when you see people with cloaks and daggers furtively rolling in the barrels of gunpowder, it’s just possible you’ve got an actual conspiracy on your hands.
Agreed. History is full of conspiracies. Regime changes, overthrown presidents, engineered crises to justify certain policies, the last three years of coverup of a financial crash in the Repo market, etc. We can discuss them at large, look into the local and international context, the corresponding motivations, the conspirators, etc. What is problematic IMO is a distinct mindset that considers all events, specially those we don’t like and of course the conspiracies of the world as the action by the same group of people who through generations have directed history. These people overthrew a president in Africa and caused inflation in Asia; they are behind the LGBT movement in the US and promote evangelical extremism in Brasil; they are so powerful [and hence impossible to vanquish] they easily appoint and overthrow governments everywhere at any time, and when you start asking questions how come, they say it’s for power, frustrating any attempt at understanding and any plan of action that can really change things.
Note that the big cogs of the system like the thesis of a specific group as origin of our ailments: if social unrest becomes unbearable, they just stage trials against the supposed conspirators replacing them by other figures without needing to make any change in the system.
You’ll note that Watt, who you quoted, exhaustively researched and delineated the conspiracy you seem to deny. Granted, you’re right about people having to mend their ways but with the present owners of the money system in control, the absolute power they have to cause the mischief necessary to retain their power by exacerbating the strife between peoples makes that personal reform impossible.
Thank you. Yes, I was a faithful listener of Watt’s shows. One of the most honest and serious researchers there are. All the facts he so exhaustively and disinterestingly dug up are spot on; what I started to disagree with him about and instead have my own take on is the interpretation he made of those facts, the intentions behind them, the source that produced them, and specially the sense he gave to the terms “Communism”, “Marxism”, etc. Also, the sense he gave to historical chain of events.
But he often encouraged open debate which makes me sure he would have welcomed a different interpretation of facts if it convinced him.
Great comment. All such accusations serve to deflect from the stupendous quantities of trans-national wealth sloshing around the world, IMO. Of late, such proponents seem to be taking it easy, at least on this site.
Trump is a distraction from the real news such as, Jamie Diamond (J. P Morgan) is being hauled up before a court in the Virgin Islands too answer questions about his relationship with Epstein & South Africa taking Pfizer to court for the misinformation campaign they inflicted upon the global population during the plandemic.
In South Africa and not aware of this development. Could you please furnish me with further details or a link?
I’m not a fan of “let’s throw out the baby with the bathwater” conclusions.
I agree that the indictment is a cute way of tossing us some bread and circuses. However this does not exclude a third option.
Much as I believe the US President is nothing more than a puppet with the real puppeteers being permanent fixtures in the shadows, the third option is:
That the post WWII hegemony carefully nurtured over decades is falling apart; the puppeteers are not only fighting among themselves, they are in complete panic mode, hastening their own demise with dumb 6D chess moves they’re not qualified to play.
This could be VERY GOOD NEWS if the serfs/sheep understand the dynamics and don’t resort to cannibalizing each other.
Trump is the only candidate among R, D, independents who spit out a truth bomb:
“our real problem is ourselves”.
Not China, not Russia, nor other cookie monsters hiding under the bed of the Axis of Evil.
The US election system has been broken since at least Bush Gore 2000, maybe earlier for all I know.
Trump got elected in 2016 because
a) Killary had become a liability
b) Sanders voters were fuming and probably voted for Trump in protest.
c) He was “allowed” to win on the condition that Kushner become his shadow, keep close tabs on him while Kushner himself was effectively given the portfolio of Emperor of the Middle East along with a whole laundry list of other things.
Trump is shooting off his mouth saying a lot of things that he has no power to do but that resonate with a lot of people
a) No to World War III
b) no to war with Russia and China
c) no to funding the MIC and focusing on being the failing Hegemon
d) attempting to fix a broken country
In July 2016 I completely agreed with Julian Assange that the election was a choice between “cholera or gonorrhea”.
However Trump had ONE thing going for him BEFORE winning. Having never held any government position he hadn’t YET had any opportunity to add “war criminal” to the list of whatever nefarious business dealings he might have been guilty of. I remember clearly that the first time the Clinton News Network and their ilk cheered Trump on was during the 2017 Shayray missile strike on Syria and when the “Mother of All Bombs” was dropped on Afghanistan.
Then Israel orchestrated the assassination of Soleimani. For all his failings, Trump has made a career building stuff, not destroying it.
If one is of the opinion that everything is a psyop for distraction, that anyway the global south, Russia and China are not fighting the current system, then anyway there’s no point to discussing anything. They were “all in it together” on the scamdemic, they’re “all in it together” on CBDCs and so on…..
When I see something remotely approaching the last hours of Ceaucescu, or Macron fleeing Paris for an indefinite amount of time, then I will start to believe that there could possibly be anything like “very good news” on the horizon.
I reckon the filth from hell are only just starting to warm up…
I agree that maybe I got carried away: “very good news” is relative 😉
I do not mean that anything will be easy. There is no easy way out of a dire mess decades in the making. Not going to happen. I just mean that things are not going to plan, there are more derailments than before (pun intended). This is better than things going to plan.
Ceaucescu: back in the day I bought the organic revolution narrative. While there is no doubt that that poverty and corruption existed in Romania as in DC, I have to wonder if it was all that poetic as one was led to believe from this side of the curtain or whether there was some “interference” from the usual suspects.
Macron fleeing would be good news but in and of itself won’t solve anything or provide a shortcut to anything good.
If one lives in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, much of Central Africa or many other places in the world…the filth from hell have already been cooking up a storm….
No criticism intended.
I just get over-excited when “good news” is mentioned anywhere these days 🙂
Thank you, I hear you. I’m just trying to look for silver linings….somewhere, anywhere…
You pessimist, you!
When Trumpo was in power, he reminded me of nothing so much as King Lear.
He would rant and rave about how he was going to Build The Wall. Jail Crooked Hilary, Rebuild The Infrastructure, and Bring The Troops Home.
But none of it ever happened. The only thing he was allowed to do was a long list of Gives and Favours to Israel, Jerusalem, Golan Heights, persecuting Palestinians, giving Israel yet more billions, appointing Bolton, keeping Adelson and his big Zionist donors happy.
Otherwise, what did he accomplish?
Nada. Zilch. Business as usual.
His own officials, Mad Dog Mattis, Bolton et al. were openly conspiring against him. undermining him at every opportunity, briefing against him, and contradicting him in public.
He never used the powers of the presidency, or enforced his authority.
He seems to have genuinely wanted to withdraw the troops from Syria and gave orders to this effect. These were simply ignored – and the people responsible bragged about it on national television after the event.
For all the bluster and braggadocio, he must rate as the weakest, most impotent and irrelevant president in US history.
A truly pathetic figure.
It’s no use blaming his officials and the snakes of the Deep State.
He appointed these, people, and he should have made heads roll.
I suspect rather that “those people” appointed him, and gave him no mandate or opportunity to make their heads roll.
Sad, but true.
‘the weakest, most impotent and irrelevant president in US history.’ would not have the entire US deep state ruling class shitting their pants for 7 years totally terrified of letting him do the job he was elected for, and will do starting next year when he gets elected for the 3rd time – they’re trying desperately to keep a lid on a boiler that is ready to blow – no way they stop what’s coming –
He also went along with another tax break for the wealthiest. But that law came from the legislature, and also happens in many other countries claiming to have representative democracy.
“…. the third option is:
That the post WWII hegemony carefully nurtured over decades is falling apart; the puppeteers are not only fighting among themselves, they are in complete panic mode, hastening their own demise with dumb 6D chess moves they’re not qualified to play.”
Yes, that hits the nail on the head.
War has always provided a very effective way of “rewriting” society. In war, the first casualty is the truth and history is written by the victors. War “softens the dough” and sets up exciting possibilities for social sculpting. Our last sculpting exercise was indeed WWII and it has now set in stone. Thus, the post WWII hegemony has been our “sacred book” for all of our lives. But it is indeed falling apart.
One example of the anxiety this is causing is the vexed issue of “Holocaust Denial” – a fascinating matter. My theory about this is not that the powers above are scared about folk rejecting the Holocaust narrative. No, it’s far worse than that. The powers are afraid that, to put it bluntly, less and less will give a shit one way or the other. Thus, the denial meme is another excuse to bring the whole topic up again and thereby re-instate the endlessly repeated mantra: “Never forget!” (Just so long as you never attempt to understand either!)
But generally, this WWII tale is drifting further and further into irrelevance. The establishment react by continually re-running yesterday’s battles – not only the issue of The Holocaust but the whole “inherent racism” thing, homophobia, even the “struggle against religion”. Under the last named, the “brave” atheist can get up and reject the notion of God but, like the “only gay in the village”, is merely proudly declaring his allegiance to what has become the majority opinion – at least as set out in the media.
George, this is probably the only time you’ll ever hear me concede a point to the Zionists (albeit, a minor point), but one thing we should not be with reference to the holocaust is indifferent. If it was true, and everything really did happen as the Zionists maintain (six million gassed to death with Zyklon-D, ovens, etc., etc.), then it would indeed qualify as the worst single atrocity in human history. But if events did not transpire as the Zionists maintain, then what we’re dealing is without doubt the absolute worst hoax ever perpetrated against a civilization ever, anywhere. And what makes it all so very wrong is not only that it used to justify the oppression of the Palestinians (and Middle-Easterners generally); but has also been used — quite effectively! — brainwash, silence and smear anyone in the Western Civilization who stands in defense of their country, people, culture — or now, even their own individual rights. Isn’t it true that such people are now routinely denounced ‘nazis’ and ‘white supremacists’? And you know what that means — wink, wink! Next we’ll be invading Poland and rounding up the ADL and shoving them into ovens. See my reply to ‘Sara’ above, where I tell her that we are all Germans now. And my point is that the holocaust narrative is and has been central to that process for years now.
Oh I see your point but let’s face it, assuming the worst I.e. the fraud option, there’s no way the truth will ever come out. Same as with JFK and 9/11. There’s a very credible theory that the gunpowder plot was another false flag. That one’s still going strong centuries later. Note brilliant prop of Guy Fawkes bonfire night. Indifference is one kind of triumph. And I reckon that works e.g. with the transgender shite. Sometimes it’s the only defence you have.
There’s also the option that the Truth will come out; indeed, may already be out, and that few will be able to see it or persuade others of it.
No, I think the truth has indeed come out or, to put it another way, a very large number see it and indeed saw it from the start. But it will never come out “officially” i.e. the media will never admit it. That’s why I think there is a substantial portion who will just ignore it and they are right to do so. When we get to the point where the media spouts its shit which it will always do – and yet nobody cares then the media will have lost. For all I know, this may already have happened.
“When we get to the point where the media spouts its shit which it will always do – and yet nobody cares then the media will have lost. For all I know, this may already have happened.”
I think it may have. The media is almost entirely a propaganda organ at this point, populated by professional liars and sold to an audience which lacks almost any discernment.
Imagine an event so true, that in a great many countries you are jailed for simply calling it into question.
Exactly. Doesn’t making it illegal to question a narrative automatically throw it into just a little bit of doubt? Doesn’t it make your ‘Spidey senses‘ tingle just a tiny bit?
When we were children, what were the most interesting things to do for us ? Those that were forbidden ! If the Holocaust (TM) is so true and they have all the numbers why are they shitting their pants everytime someone questions their story ?
Cue another few dozen Hollywood holohoax epics.
Nah, they’d have to take time out from their endless zombie plague and climate disaster epics.
Interesting you bring up the Holocaust.
I recently read a comment somewhere that if one (hypothetically speaking), were to start to cast doubt on some of the more sensational claims around the H narrative…….then people might focus attention on war crimes by the Allied Forces:
-carpet bombing of 25+ German and many Italian cities of no military value;
-the atomic bombs
-the 50-70,000 civilians killed by accident in the D day landing,
-torture at the Nuremberg trials to wring out confessions….
-fake promises made to all the colonies like India to get them to fight not only in WWII but even in WWI.
Indians were the first to be dispatched to Belgium when Germany invaded on the promise in 1914! that they would be given dominion status like “European” Canada and Australia. That of course never happened).
What does it even mean for African Americans to fight for “freedom” in WWII when they were second class citizens in their own country?
The Holocaust narrative was useful both for the ZIonist movement which was so close to establishing Israel (and which had closely collaborated with Nazi Germany since Hitler came to power) and for the Allies because it allowed to them to be the “lesser evil”.
Over time I’ve seen the narrative change too. In the early 1990s after Lech Walesa brought “freedom” to Poland the plaque at Auschwitz was changed. 4 million became 1.3 million and the dead Poles were taken out of the equation. Although in fact Auschwitz got its start for Poles who were resisting the Nazis.
I think panic around losing the “moral high ground” they claimed for themselves after WWII is leading them to come up with all this fake-woke nonsense.
The big assumption here is that the PTB actually don’t want to wreck the US (not to mention the West generally) in order to replace it their new-and-improved system. After all, if you want to ‘build back better,’ you must first destroy the old. That is precisely what the élites have been doing to the US and the West since WW2: deliberately, step by step dismantling it.
First came the moral breakdown of the natural order: of the family and the community as the center of human life. And now comes the physical destruction of individual human being (through chemicals and EMF) and the civilization in which we live by means of the ‘four horsemen’: (fake) plague, pestilence, famine and war. And of course, at least according the official narrative, this will all be our own fault! The very few of us who survive this operation will be so desperate and broken (they hope) that we will accept whatever they throw at us from then on: infinity injections, more chemical castration, chips in our brains, etc.
I have heard it said on these forums again and again that ‘we are all Palestinians now.’ To a large extent, that is of course now true. But it’s about to get even worse than that: once they are done with us, we are all to be Germans! That’s even worse, because at least among the Palestinians, the spirit of resistance yet lives. After the war, the Germans were so physically, psychologically, and culturally broken, that they were no longer in a position to offer the globalist élites any resistance at all. And of course, according to the official narrative, the war was all their fault! They deserved it, you see.
That’s what the élites have in store for us. We — all the peoples of the West — are now collectively to become the new ‘bad guy’ of world history. The US specifically is now to become the new ‘obstacle to world peace’. While it may not be immediately clear whether Trump is be elected president again, even if he does, that’s still not a good sign. It would probably just mean that he’s supposed to play the role of the ‘new Hitler’.
And that’s why I’m not all that interested in conventional politics anymore. The whole thing is just a big, pre-written script for us to fall in line with somehow and carry out the bidding of the élites. I’m tired of that game. I want to use what little time remains for me to improve myself and steer clear of their traps.
You make so many excellent points. Being the broken “German” shivering through the winters is definitely worse at least at the mindset level than being a “resisting Palestinian” (being assassinated in broad dayligt while having your house bulldozed). .
“The big assumption here is that the PTB actually don’t want to wreck the US”
That is as good a working hypothesis as any. But I have difficulty buying. If you want to destroy something to your benefit, you need a tightly controlled demolition. I don’t see signs of that. I see confusion and conflicting strategies. One can’t have a digital currency along with a fragile and non resilient grid. It’s physically not possible.
All this woke / trans nonsense being peddled 24/7 takes so much airtime that most people have tuned out…where I live in NATOstan the electricity bill offers more excitement for debate. .
Making “the people of the West the bad guy” is NOT aimed at the Global South audience, it is aimed at …the people of the West precisely in order to control them.
I am sad when I see that identity politics has been succesful in dumping guilt for example, on “lower income white men in the UK today” who clearly have ZILCH to do with Churchill’s actions or statements. But if it is perceived that way, and especially with all the other woke nonsense + scamdemic and all the rest of it, one ends up fighting each other and taking guilt which is not one’s own.
The people outside NATOstan are not looking for retribution. They just want to get on with their lives without having to fight China or sanction Russia or whatever.
All this crap about slavery reparations, apologies, statues is all pushed by the same people looking to enslave “the peoples of the West”. Why? Because the people outside the West have FINALLY learned to resist (more than before at least) and so TPTB shift their attention to the lower hanging fruit that is more easily witin reach.
I think to steer clear of the trap one needs to realize that regardless of race / nationality / religion / ethnicity, the “enemy” to be wary of are the same suspects in any country: the academic / business / government / NGO / media / professional class that is paid WELL to push the script.
If your family doctor is pushing the scamdemic hoax, that is the enemy to be avoided regardless of what their ethnicity is. I said to a friend in 2021 that a university degree is as good as useless if the uni has a vax mandate. Better to get an apprenticeship learning how to fix boilers or another useful skill. I don’t see it as an “us” v “them” in the sense that I realize I’m now on the “other side” from many of my closest friends.
Several good points.
Regarding the Third World, for example, it is true that they are not really the ones pushing the anti-West agenda. No, it is actually being push on them — and by the very same élites who once pushed colonialism and slavery on them too!
With respect to American infrastructure: what it is they are destroying are the parts that we might need, such as transportation (road, railways, airports, etc.). The high-tech communications parts — the satellites, the 5G — are all rolling out on schedule. And then you’ve got all those mysterious chemical spills that started occurring this year. Those seem to be targeting the soil and water of certain interior regions of the country that the élites want to clear us out of. In short: there is indeed an intensive destruction of infrastructure going on, but it’s quite selective and regional.
NO ONE becomes president unless the PTB approve of it. That’s how they control elections- by selecting both of the candidates. No matter who won in 2016- Hillary or Trump- their “guy” won.
Agree. It’s just that they had not bargained on Trump playing with his twitter quite as much as he did…it’s probably the only thing that Trump had control over for a while.
This could be VERY GOOD NEWS
No, it is bad news after decades of enforced globalism that has destroyed the economic independence of most countries.
it is easier to “justify” martial law if you have genuine insurrection
creating emotive responses toward a system of “government” reinforces its “validity”
but most importantly it fulfills the “dont look up” requirement and reafirms the narrative that “this” is all driven by humans and not forces as yet beyond our short sighted, myopic vision and i include myself in that
in dealing with 5D intervention in our time/space/context we have little if any resource to understand the elements involved
experience of “supernatural” phenomena, hauntings, possesion (transgender issues/drug adiction etc) reminds us that we are dealing with “influence pedlers” who only suggest they have any real effect on our 3D reality, when in fact they require US to facilitate their desired outcomes..
as “ai” becomes more invasive the connection between non corporeal entities and ourselves becomes more fluid and ultimately terminal
entities that in concert both hate and envy us our extraordinary place in Creation
As musk has recently “warned” about the possible dangers of his own and other “ai” we again reach another milestone of Consent:
“but surely we need ai and how can we possibly not progress without it?”
Its all about consent and critical mass and as the few become fewer those that remain shoulder more of the burden, bring it on :0p
as another contributor commented re this interesting very well researched work on the history of “masons”, it all really boils down to a “soul harvest”, a subject i have read much on and having experienced sentient non corporeal entities frequently in my life i have much fascination of the subject of “soul” an issue that deserves far greater coverage here as does the issues of “satanism” rather than the brief references alluded to which serve at once to “explain” “simplify” and make “acceptable” such prolific and pervading behaviour which infests our western societies to the Core
but in a difference of opinion to said referenced contributor i again link this fascinating 500 page pdf which as a student of masonry and esoterics i highly recomend as being worthy of reading as comes from a source like myself that has been damaged by said “masons” and likewise having a healthy desire to expose them to the light as much as my simple little self can do :0)

I’ve saved your link, Duckman. Thanks for your insightful comment!
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/03/30/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility/
“Transgender Day of Visibility celebrates the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know — people who have too often had to put their jobs, relationships, and lives on the line just to be their true selves. …. Transgender Americans shape our Nation’s soul ….”
Unbe-fuckin’-lievable! Whole levels of psychotic hyperbole above previous bullshit.
Also note how this “day of visibilty” happens one day before April Fool’s Day. Coincidence?
for me it’s less that it happened one day before April Fool’s Day, and more that it happened literally within just a few days of a transman (woman?) massacring a bunch of kids at a school in Tennessee…the optics are horrendous. And as for visibility? Are they trolling us? The trans movement is literally the most visible thing around; you can’t get *away* from it I’d say
The “visibilty” thing is always a hoot cf. the endless bleating about how “nobody is talking about climate change”, “nobody is talking about covid” etc.
WMD weapon of mass distraction
blimey they are all crime bosses, are they not?
The woman wearing a beret is carrying a placard demanding “Democracy requires Accountability”. Sounds perfect….but how is the reality shaping up?
In the U.K. our elected by absolutely no one PM has done a brilliant job of ensuring he only paid 22% tax on a multi million pound income despite the top rate rate being nearly 40% yet the reported fraud on his furlough scheme already runs into tens of billions. So he moves seamlessly from Chancellor of the Exchequer to PM without even a parliamentary grilling.
Meanwhile the previous PM has earned more than £1 million for an aggregate of one day’s work but no questions are asked. He has had to defend his (numerous) Partygates but is insisting that these Parties were motivational – with no one questioning why that was not allowable for everyone else. And the little details like the global infection fatality rate was a mere 0.23% meaning that on no definition was his “Emergency” ever justified or why he blew £500 billion and launched runaway inflation or that he never once provided any evidence for all the claims, forecasts or assertions but relied entirely upon media repetition or that he repeatedly ordered lockdowns when it was clearly a failed strategy seem to have escaped everyone’s attention.
Yes that “Accountability” is working just perfectly…..if you happen to have been responsible for a catastrophe.
They get 20% tax refund back on the income they make.
the vat and legal dodges they do gives them % tax to pay.
Ha, ha! Most of their income isn’t really ‘earned’ anyway. It’s just a bunch of kickbacks for doing the will of globalists. So even if they did raise the income tax rate, it wouldn’t affect them. They’d just get more and more income to offset any loss. It’s a big con.
In Australia the only pay rise that never gets questioned is the pay rise politicians award themselves, every year.
SUITURDS, all of them.
Tovarish Kit!
Tovarish Putin once said, “After the death of Ghandi, there’s fucking nobody to talk to.” No fucking shit. Did it occur to you, while writing this rant, that if Trump has been indicted to give people something to yap about, that it might be a good idea not to yap about it? You could have ranted about something more consequential. Chez nous on dit que tu viens de rater un tabarnak de belle occasion de te taire, tovarish. Talk about being fond of red herrings, eh? Oh yeah, I know. You’re gonna say that you have to educate the fucking idiots about what not to talk about (by talking about it). Hmm. If that makes fucking sense to you, it doesn’t to me, tovarish.
Be it as it may, very little prison is being built up around us, or you, tovarish. A prison is principally being built inside your skull. Well, not really, that’s inaccurate. It’s that the prison that is firmly installed in your head is undergoing remodeling with some extra security features being added, the walls being reinforced, stuff like that. Maybe some extra guards being hired too.
People are so fucking institutionalized that they can’t see the walls in their fucking heads, tovarish. Regrettably, that includes the absolute vast majority of the self-designated free thinkers who pat themselves on the back about “knowing the fucking truth” (sic) and shit like that.
People are their own prisoners.
If Trump has been indicted to give people something to yap about, that it might be a good idea not to yap about it? exactly.. yes, also I observe few people are yapping about it. Trump’s signature in politics has been to expose a political wrong, usually at an inconvenient time, and then to do nothing to fix the wrong. Trump’s following is subsiding probably because more Chaos is not needed.
Everyone knows, new narratives appearing on MSM signals, the start of a new game of “discover the deception the narrative hides”.
A different style of President is needed to deal with Xi and Putin and the growing strength of the Eastern non $USD world. Ron DeSantis (Governor of Florida) may defeat Trump in the primaries..
I’m holding my fucking breath already!
President will deal with the growing strength of the non-USD world? Like fucking how? President, senator, member of parliament, the last fucking backbencher will do you know what? Absolute fucking shit! They’re there to fuck you over and live off of your work. At best, he’s gonna order dropping a few bombs here and there, but maybe not even that because it might be dawning on everybody in the West that the perceived military might is a fucking paper tiger.
The growing strength of the non-USD world stems from the fact that the USD world is a bunch of lazy motherfuckers who think that the non-USD world will slave away for their luxury. Guess what. They’ve had enough. And guess another what. They’re either getting or already are stronger than the entitled western LBGQT+ faggot transmotherfucker bunch.
If anybody will do anything, it’s people at the grass roots who’ll have to dig in, hard, and try to rediscover the resilience, ingenuity, perseverance, and balls of our ancestors that made the Western Empire what it is … scratch that …. used to be.
It doesn’t matter, because De Santis himself is just another tool.
Indeed tools, fools and bad actors, only the compromised and controlled get to be part of the (S)election menu. Certainly De Santis is no different.
Trump”s indictment and arrest will play out over the coming weeks and make for an incredible distraction of course.
Meanwhile in America:
1) The 9/11 style implosion of the old order World financial system is on going and will continue to accelerate as more small fish banks are caught in the squeeze play net that has been set up for them. Not to mention the millions of Americans that will be negatively impacted by the shrapnel ripping through Main St. USA. The end game being the “direct reset” or “The Great Reset” dictates will be implemented using the CDBC/Digital Control grid apparatus (Health/Wealth/Social Credit) if this is left unchecked. The death of freedom.
2) The Ukraine war (not going well for the West.) The Eurasian gambit will fail or WWIII will ensue.
3) America’s unguarded southern border and the influx of terrorists caught entering.
Enemies inside the gates. Hundreds of thousands of unvetted illegal aliens. The end game here appears to be a replacement scheme for the “dying suddenly” population.
4) The war on America’s infrastructure (specifically food production and energy production facilities) is on going. The end game here appears to be control the food control the population.
5) The on going devastation of populations and agriculture lands via chemical spills and toxic train derailments. The end game here appears to be create a pretext to evacuate areas effected by the “spills and derailments” . After time the government will ban the return of people to those affected areas claiming the need and time to clean and properly reclaim the land. The displaced populations will be shipped off to 15 Min. Mega cities for their climate change lock down stack’em & pack’em cells.
6) Toxic Covid vax and the ongoing injuring and killing of millions in the USA.
7) Wide spread and wholesale corruption from the White House down.
8) The ongoing Marxist takeover of the Republic of The United States of America.
9) The Divided States of America by race, colour, gender politics etc.and the threat of a Red/Blue Civil war.
etc. etc.
‘Marxist takeover’ do what f”””’ what! If only.
Excellent observations. Particularly this one: “4) The war on America’s infrastructure (specifically food production and energy production facilities) is on going. The end game here appears to be control the food control the population.”
The sleepers and those sitting on the fence, will die of starvation before they understand the situations they themselves have created…

Quite right, Thom. 😥
There was a time i believed, but that time has past. Now, all i see are the movements of children inhabiting adult bodies, and wonder why i attributed meaning to their foolery.
Perfect ‘kayfabe’ distraction that buys time for the insiders, those closest to the Central Banks, to purchase assets with fresh currency (M1 graph), before the dollar as we know it gets replaced (CPI graph) once the new world monetary system is ready.
The Trump Brigade will probably retaliate by going after the Biden clan and the Hunter laptop.
I certainly hope so and not a Trump fan in the least. Biden and his clan deserve to be in jail.
Trump is an operative being paid by his masters for his role in the show, so perhaps he can expect an upgrade in the lodge he reports to?
Just like so called sactions on the corporation called Russia, that have been designed to enrich circles in Russia, since Crimea takeover, and everywhere else, while further enslaving those who don’t belong.
In the earthly show of greed and power, anything goes to tax the fools we are, scare them, use them, the same fools who pay for the show with our time.
Half a million years ago Enki made us to be slaves, and that’s what we are.
The Washington Regime as a whole reminds me strongly of Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles, where the villain, Hedley Lamarr, recruits an entire army of villains to take over a peaceful town.
“I want …….. rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperadoes, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, snipers, conmen, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shitkickers, and Methodists.”
About as apt a description of the Washington Regime as you will find anywhere.
A motley crew consisting of dodgy billionaire weirdos and their close family members, religious nutjobs, superannuated generals, chancers, grifters, fraudsters, conmen, scam artists, halfwits, dimwits, airheads, blockheads, smack heads, crackheads, and certifiable lunatics.
I don’t recall this for sure – and it’s not worth the effort to look it up – but didn’t Mr. Trump more or less finance his own campaign? If so, then even if he used those funds to wipe his ass, it shouldn’t be illegal (unless he had contraband up there).
It’s like the inmates in the nut house arresting the one person who could give them back their sanity and sense of purpose. Maybe it’s time for the inmates to get shock treatment.

Hey Dude, Don’t Take the JAB! – Another great Covid Jab Parody by The Boatrawker! (bitchute.com)
The US can now be declared the ‘laughing-stock’ of the world.
After all, where else can one murder their President and get away with it scott-free, and yet be indicted for paying-off a street-whore for having a root on the side? Bloody marvelous … the way the ‘law’ works.
Sort of like Dawson City during the gold rush where they had 50 brothels in the High Street and prosecuted people for chopping wood on a Sunday.
And the wackier the story is the more Americans will not only take it in, but fight over it, put their hopes in it to solve all our problems, and refuse to believe it is all for show. The more logically inconsistent it is the better the optics it seems. Those inconsistencies provide fodder to argue over, not fodder for anyone to take a good hard look and go WTF?
I had that thought just this morning regarding JFK – a US President, supposedly the most powerful person in the world, assassinated on live TV – or what was considered live at the time – with the circumstances as murky and logistically inconsistent as possible, and not only is the story concocted out of that believed wholeheartedly by a populace who wants to believe it, but it is treated as a sort of litmus test of what a good American believes. Not to mention that the term conspiracy theory was brought into the American lexicon as a result, to be used again and again on anyone who sees the logical inconsistencies and starts to question them, to actually analyze them. Same thing with 9/11. Same thing with Russiagate for that matter, Shampeachment, the uses of that tactic are absolutely endless in a country that refuses to question anything at all that they are told to believe as truth.
Laughing stock? More like nuthouse of the world….
I think what’s even funnier are countries that still have Kings and Queens and Princesses. La la la.
You’re right.
Although, it’s even worse in Australia, Canada and New Zealand … We not only have the Royal parasite class and their ‘Blowviators’ to make them sound relevant – there are also the Royals’ teams of Representative who are known as The Governor[s] General … one in every State, or Province – just for good measure – and their ‘entourages’ with FREE Mansions (Govt. Houses) for ALL, etc. etc. So, yes … the people are incredibly tolerant, some might think of it as, S-T-U-P-I-D.
The Trump story – a pathetic side show. CBDC, WHO takeover of national sovereignty, forgetaboutit. Look, Trump’s being indicted.
The indictment of a President, even if contrived, is kind of a big deal, even more so when considering that many of his supporters are aware of and in opposition to “CBDC, WHO takeover” etc.
Okay. Perhaps from a US citizen’s perspective you are right.
This is a PSYOP, Kabuki Theater to distract and disconcert the masses so we can’t see what is going on as the banks continue to unravel, the Fed continues to worsen things in the whole economy, the US/NATO proxy war in Ukraine against Russia, a losing cause, continues to siphon off billions of tax payer dollars into the MIC and Biden crime family pockets . We should be asking why haven’t Joe Biden his brother and his son been indicted for fraud and money laundering? Meanwhile the COVID injection side effects and adverse reactions pile up to the point people can no longer ignore them or think this is coincidental, “move along sheeple, nothing to see here!”.
This is pure bull and cow dung. You mean to say Donald Trump gets arrested for paying hush money to cover a sexual affair just like Bill Clinton did, but Clinton, both Bushes and Barack Obama (and their VPs) get off Scott free for treason, numerous war crimes, massive crimes against humanity and malfeasance in office?!
The plutocrats are using Trump to ramp up division and animus amongst the people, keep folks at each others’ throats and discombobulated while they reshuffle the deck chairs of this sinking ship of state and try to reconfigure the system to fit their Great Reset and Brave New World Order agenda. Don’t fall for the flim-flam and the okey-doke!
I think you said “Trump is an agent of Chaos”?
it’s not really about Trump he is just the bait, the carrot or sugar being used to lure us deeper into discombobulation and enslavement.
So they’re hanging out their dirty washing for everyone to see. Big deal. When will they hang out their blood soaked washing?
What did he do wrong ?
He waved the rainbow flag, moved the embassy to Jerusalem, stopped aid to the Palestinians, loved Israel, considered Muslims a threat to gays and proposed their exclusion. He stood obseqiously behind Fauci and warp sped the clot shot. He abandoned the idea of an operative to examine “vaccine” safety. What more could he do for the bankster’s deep state ?
It wasn’t his turn, and that is intolerable. US politics. like ours, operates on Buggins’ turn, with an optional election pantomime purely for show. Crooked Hilary was supposed to be shoehorned in, to start a war in Syria and Ukraine. Instead, that had to wait till 2022.
If he had lost as he was supposed to, he could have paid off 1,000 hookers, and nobody could care less. Hilary would have even lent him the money from the Clinton Foundation. It’s his own fault for not sticking to the script.
Ukraine
It is true he didn’t start a big bloodbath. Maybe that was his crime.
Maybe that was more luck than judgment.
He bombed Syria and murdered Soleimani.
Either of those could have led to full blown war.
Maybe he was just lucky.
Junk politricks, employing easily obtainable grand jury hit jobs to prolong sideshow sensationalism already dismissed at the federal level. Like futurist’s meme below, even their psyops are shitty.
But par for the course, right in line with tabloid scandals past, like the original pizzagate of Monica performing the oral office in the oval office. Unlikely or impossible as it is among partners in crime, presidents should be indicted for war crimes, for starters, but the hoi polloi are left to get up in arms (only figuratively) over who they’re fucking in private, not who they’re fucking in public.
This reality TV host apparently is still getting good ratings from the deep state, though, as Trump is the longest serving ex-president in history. So it looks like Amerikan Idolatry over Orange Man Bad vs. QAnon Trust the Plan, etc. is slated to entertain audiences with weapons of mass distraction indefinitely, at least long enough for executives of the ruling class to oversee the conclusion to world war on humanity, initiated under Trump.
I always ask myself what is this latest distraction trying to cover up?
That is the question.
It isn’t April Fool’s Day, today is it?
…- Haven’t you heard?: – *Every Day* is April Fool’s Day, now…
‘So, why was Trump indicted? – To give people something to talk about’
Exactly.
Pure distraction – get people focused on the minutiae rather than the plan for war with China and Russia, create interest in a process that is completely corrupt and further divide the American people so it things do go tits up you can have the war at home instead.
And of course Trump plays along with no mention of any of it. Strange that…
Everyone keeps forgetting (just like the junk PCR tests) we dealing with crazed lunatics who truly believe the world is ending (as we know it) in 2,4,5,6,8,10,12 14,20,25,30,50…………………………..years. Depends on which lunatic is spewing.
I wish I was making this up. They are off their rocker crazy. So crazy they will do anything.
Lie. Cheat. Steal. Murder. They don’t care. Trump will be the end to Build Back Better.
He will.
While Trump was in office he withdrew from the Paris Accord and pulled the United States funding from the United Nations.
They will do anything to keep him out of office because they think they are saving the world.
The United Nations IS the cause of all our problems. Once they are disbanded, our troubles will go away.
when I clicked thumbs up, it increased the count by 1 on both the thumbs up and the thumbs down. Trump will likely not be able to defeat Governor Ron DeSantis in the primaries.
FYI: in case you’re not aware of this, whenever a user clicks on a voting link (aka thumb), the system refreshes the vote tally. That is, it registers your vote and any other votes that occurred while you were perusing the thread.
Those who aren’t aware of the refreshing feature naturally, but wrongly, assume that their intended single vote somehow spawned additional spurious votes. Hope this clears things up.
If left to the wishes of actual voters, Trump would win. As with the last several elections here, the contest will be stolen.
Preaching to the choir here, but point on, Kit, thank you. lol, Yes, Trump has the lead role in the ugly Hollywood/DC New York show called ‘Fake Indictment, A Love Story’ starring Donald Trump, the MSM, the judicial system, politicians along with the supporting cast of hypnotic people. Keep your eyes on the pope’s WHO, moving fast to implement world control…so the crusaders can surround the Heretics in the same old Inquisition that is medical in their murder plot this time. America is being destroyed and sold out from the inside. They are moving China and Russia into position on the chess board for those that hide behind the Vatican, for those that fear our awakening. Consciousness is our ONLY salvation. Bring forth your love of life and defend it with disobedience, unpredictability and non-participation in their fake reality.Together we form the human spirit…the most powerful force on Earth. Stop participating in their fake distractions…in THE SHOW.

Lol that one got me good
Me too.
Very good.
The play within a play?
I agree.
More special effects, more repetition, better actors, better spin and all pumped out 25/8, ten days a week and 399 days of the year.
A tsunami of SHIT to dwarf Noah’s dilemma.
Its from the same production company who brought you the FBI raids at Mar-a-Lago,.
Same production company who sold you Andrew Tate Arrest and Rebel media in Davos.
