Part One
Things are out of control.
That's nothing new, is it. Can any of you remember when things were ever in control? Care to ask your grandparents? Or their grandparents?
It's really a shame that, when it comes to sensitive and delicate matters like politics, we seem to always rely on the most ungifted amongst us. Politicians.
V-Day in Europe must have been great. But the US still had accounts to settle in the Far East. FDR passed away, and Henry Wallace was not his successor. Hiroshima. Boom. Nagasaki. Boom. Sure showed them Russkies.
How many wars were waged during the dreaded Pax Americana? On how many continents?
For the record: The same people wreaking havoc with our lives twenty years ago are still in charge today. Step aside, Ringling Bros. Clown World's come to town.
But no matter. For the sun has set on the Empire of Lies.
'Media coverage of these events showed one of the rioters who entered the Capitol building dressed in horns, a bearskin headdress, red, white and blue face paint, shirtless, and tan pants. Then, on 7 January 2021, Jacob CHANSLEY called in to the Washington Field Office of the FBI to voluntarily speak with law enforcement. Your affiant and an FBI agent spoke on the phone with CHANSLEY, who confirmed that he was the male in the face paint and headdress in the Vice President's chair in the Senate.'
6 1/2 years all told.
He's never seen, nor is it claimed he's ever seen, perpetrating anything. Just milling about and being escorted around by nine (9) officers of the Capitol Police. That's it.
Who's in charge of that J6 committee? All honourable people, to be sure. Adam Schiff, Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney... All honourable people. Appointed by Nancy Pelosi. No one watched the proceedings. Watching paint drying is way more exciting.
6 1/2 years.
Kevin McCarthy unseated Nancy Pelosi. Suddenly partisanship and witch trials were gone. Jim Jordan set to work in his corner. Kevin gave 40,000 hours of Capitol footage to the team of Tucker Carlson Tonight who spent three weeks going through it, then showed the world what they found, starting this past Monday.
Chuck Schumer went ballistic on Tuesday, demanding Fox shut down Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson responded with a special clip shown at midday the day after.
There's only one time in recent history that anything like Schumer's outburst has ever happened, and it was neutralised rather quickly.
Left and right? Severe partisanship? Something's going on. To some extent, yes: it is about left versus right. But that really is for the unwashed. It's far deeper. Neither the left nor the right can really grasp it. And that's true not only for the US. Even as the elites look on from far above. Good for a laugh, they chuckle, as their waitress returns with another round of aperitifs.
As for Nord Stream, we now know definitively. Seymour Hersh was close, but close only counts in horseshoes. Actually it was Huey, Dewey, and Louie who did it. Donald was in charge of the overall planning and Daisy provided the sandwiches and light refreshments.
Daniel Ellsberg has weeks to live. Perhaps months. But his clock is ticking. Asking how Patricia Marx is coping might seem an odd sentiment. Patricia is the daughter of toy tycoon Louis Marx. One suspects that Daniel's Malibu beachfront property wasn't solely financed on his salary from the RAND Corporation.
There's something about Patricia in those early photos. She seems in thrall. Daniel was working 70 hours per week on war-related things but wanted to take her out, and she only wanted to go to an anti-war rally. Daniel had war coming out of his ears but he went along anyway.
Patricia gradually got Daniel to see the light. To this day, Daniel seems to understand things through a Pentagon prism. Yes, he diligently Xeroxed 7,000 pages of RAND research to give to the media, but his objection was that they were lying, not that their entire concept was immoral, as Patricia would have claimed.
Patricia stuck by her man. They were put through the wringer. The Pentagon Papers brought down a generation of Nixon neocons, to be replaced by new generations of neocons, often with the same names and faces. The Bidens, Blinkens, Nulands, and Sullivans haven't gone away.
But no matter. For their time has come, even if they refuse to grasp it. They won't be deciders much longer. How things go for them and for the West - the Golden Billion - is up to them. It sure looks like they're going to put up a stink. And everyone in that Golden Billion will suffer for their sake.
It'd be nice to see the advent of sanity in our lifetimes. The bloodshed and bullshit have to come to an end.
Breaking
This was supposed to be part of the intro to a much longer piece, but things are happening fast.
New footage of Jacob Chansley has emerged, currently with over 50 million views, where he’s specifically and explicitly telling people not to do anything illegal.
It also turns out that this was known by the J6 committee.
And Elon Musk, Pope of Twitter, just came out to demand Chansley’s release.
Next time we’ll have links to Sy Hersh, the Tucker clips, and much more.
Life is for learning.
