"You might ask yourself: Why is it 'important' that we spend thirty, forty, fifty billion dollars pounding sand down the rat hole that is post-Maidan Ukraine, grift central for the sketchy nexus of US politicians and their sponsors in the warcraft industry?
Answer: Aside from one final magnificent payday, they are producing a grand opera of distraction to direct the American public’s attention from the sinking of our own ship-of-state in the waters of Babylon.
That giant wad of money, you understand, goes mainly to the likes of Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Textron, Boeing, et cetera, and a substantial portion re-circulates through the K-Street laundromat into the congressional campaign finance wishing well, while billions more get creamed off by Mr. Zelenskyy & Co. — providing self-reinforcing incentives to, how shall we say, blow more things up on the global landscape."
James Howard Kunstler
"CIA-created myths have led America into virtually every war we’ve been engaged in since the agency was created in 1947: from Korea to Vietnam to the Gulf War to Somalia to Haiti to Bosnia to Kosovo to Lebanon to Afghanistan to Iraq to Yemen to Pakistan to Kenya to Libya to Uganda and Syria.
And now it looks like CIA myths are leading America into war with Russia.
How long will Almighty God let the United States survive its own stupidity?"
Chuck Baldwin
"Necessity is the plea for ever infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants’ it is the creed of slaves."
William Pitt
"It’s difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
Upton Sinclair
"The world can’t be made fair by trying to strip away talent and effort and the desire to achieve and the commitment to work. The world can’t be made fair by trying to submerge these basics. It can only be made into an idiot’s circus and a government overseer-bureau and a peer-pressure reduction of language and a massive toleration of stupidity.
In a society where the Glob and the Group and the Know-Nothing and the Pussified and the Obedient Little Fascist are promoted as The Good, the ultimate resistance comes from The Individual."
Jon Rappoport
"When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost."
Billy Graham
"Many of the blue-and-yellow flag wavers are well-intentioned, and really do think they are advocating for Ukrainian freedom and sovereignty. But in reality all they’ve been cheering for is Ukrainian subservience and enslavement to the empire, Ukrainian death, Ukrainian suffering, and the continuation of a dangerous proxy war between nuclear superpowers that threatens the life of everyone on earth."
Caitlin Johnstone
"It does not escape the attention, however, of some people on deck that the US ship is riding lower in the water each day, and listing at a distressing angle. Many other passengers have retreated to their staterooms, sick from the 'vaccines' they were required to take to stay on-board for the voyage.
Meanwhile water is streaming in below-decks, down in the bilges, from many cracks in the hull. Nobody seems to know what to do, least of all the ship’s captain, who won’t come out of his quarters. (It’s whispered that he’s gone mad.) Is it time to lower the lifeboats?
In the hazy realm that is reality these days, those metaphorical cracks in our ship’s hull represent grave acts of negligence and even treasonous sabotage."
James Howard Kunstler
"Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men."
Ayn Rand
"Any attempt by a country the neocons don’t like to add to their territory and resist US imperialism is condemned as 'aggression.' Meanwhile, US aggression and imperialism proceeds apace."
Lew Rockwell
"In today’s world, human existence has been brought down to its lowest level; it has seemingly gone backward, and therefore is susceptible to any manner of manipulation and control. The coming year will be the ultimate test for humanity, as extreme tyranny will not become dormant or disappear, but will escalate beyond the imagination of most. This is not an unthought out doom and gloom prediction, but is based on much research and observation, especially over the past two years. American society, as well as most all others, are ripe for abuse and takeover, and the planners of this conspiratorial fake 'Covid' coup fully understand the weakness, dependence, and cowardice that grips most of mankind, and will attempt to take advantage of these pathetic attitudes in an effort to gain control over life itself. Only an individual inner awakening and mass actionable resistance can stop the onslaught of death and destruction that looms in our future."
Gary D. Barnett
"Somewhere in our fifties, if we have remained diligent in our study of mankind, it all begins to gel and we begin to have a real grasp of the interrelationship of business, politics, the haves and have-nots, the whole ball of wax. We begin to recognize that there will always be those who are inspired leaders, but that there will also be those who are uninspired usurpers. There will always be those who are eager to be producers and, likewise, there will always be those who would prefer merely to consume.
From this point on in our lives, we increasingly recognize that this state of affairs is perennial, that human nature will assure that the same verve that existed to create the Roman Empire exists today, just as the same waste and decadence that destroyed it also exists today."
Jeff Thomas
"Capitalism in the US today is starting to operate exactly as the fevered imagination of Karl Marx in the 19th century imagined that they would. The biggest players stay that way and use their power to crush everyone else.
Except that this is not capitalism. I think of capitalism as a free market with free entry and exit, no favors for anyone, no subsidies and protections for big shots, intense competition for consumer loyalty, free choice for everyone, and a state that doesn’t play favorites. Also in capitalism, no one gets protection from liability for the failure of their products. No one gets to enjoy a free ride at anyone’s else's expense. People can get as rich as they want, provided they are providing a service or goods to willing buyers.
What we have now is not capitalism. It is fascism that serves the ruling class at everyone else’s expense. But do people really know this to be true? They look at the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer and think, wow, this is truly unfair. We need a new system. We need socialism!
That’s a massive error, but it’s happening.
