When I was a kid, you used to be able to say, like, what happened in 2005? And you could name the 5 or 6 big news stories at the end of the year. I defy you to pick out THE news story of the year. What's the news story of last year? What's the most important thing? I have no idea. I'm not a professional pundit or anything like that, but I think I'm about as well informed as anybody who is not being paid to be informed could be. And I would have no ability, with honesty, to pin down what the most important thing going on is.
Remember the drones in NJ? They were not resolved — just as I predicted. I had already pretty much determined that Trump was a puppet, a fake person, part of the show, only there because he's allowed to be there. It's the only thing that explains his ability to continue to fail upward — to continue to be given more and more power in a country that supposedly is doing all these things to stop him. It explains why he just continues to do all the stuff that Bush, Clinton, Obama — all these people — did. Except he's got a different face on it. He's wrestling. It's not real. Not that it's not "real," I want to be clear with my terms here. When I say that something is not real, I don't mean it didn't happen. I mean that it is presented to you, curated to you, directed at you in a certain way to elicit a certain type of response. It's not being allowed to play out organically. What you are seeing is a show. And that's the genius of the show — its ability to make you believe that it's not a show.
Then of course the whole shitshow with Epstein and everything. We could talk about Epstein for days. But the irony of their Epstein cover-up — A) it doesn't make any sense, that's why I believe he's part of the show. Let's say Trump or his people or whoever have some sort of reason why they don't want these files out. It implicates them, or it implicates somebody that pays them. There is some sort of cover-up necessary. In their position, I would simply obfuscate for the next four years. Make up bullshit and kick the can down the road. You can use some plausible deniability and then it's on to the next guy. You wouldn't do what they did unless you were dumb or purposely trying to cause problems. And I think they were purposely trying to cause problems. What you've seen Trump and his people around him do is everything in their power to disrupt their own base. They're doing s*** to disrupt their own base. It's completely illogical. Would they be upset if they had kicked the can down the road? Yes, but it wouldn't have been as obvious. Like everything else, I think that is more or less going to be forgotten.
The whole thing has been made so confusing to the average person that it's not even clear exactly what it is that we're trying to figure out. Were there children on the island? It turns out it was teenage prostitutes — maybe minors, maybe not — we don't know. Is that still illegal, is that problematic, immoral, fucked up? Yes. Is it the same as their island being full of children being sacrificed? No. Is there any evidence of that? We don't know now. No one will know now. And it was a grift. It was a show. That, was not started by the right wing but picked up by it. They're the ones that pushed it forward. That's why it's so odd to see them fumble this badly. That's why I don't think it's a fumble — I think the whole thing was almost like a purposeful f you to anybody who's paying attention and anybody who had any hope left that people were going to do the right thing.
Then of course we have Trump starting his war in Iran — something that now nobody even cares about. People were against the idea of it, but because "nothing bad happened." Nothing happened, nothing that mattered — the whole thing was a show. Nothing that mattered happened. It just cost a lot of money. But because no Americans died, or whatever the basis is that they're using on any given day to decide if something is successful or not, because that didn't happen, people are willing to give it a pass. I'm not. I'm against fighting a pointless foreign war that we don't even get anything out of. We don't even get to take their pottery and statues and stuff. When you used to go conquer people you used to go into their temples, take their gold, whatever they had — all that stuff — take it home, melt it down, cool stuff like that. We don't even do that.
So Trump has his war over there. He goes back and forth on whether he's with Israel, against Israel — nobody knows what he thinks. He doesn't know what he thinks. But that's on purpose; that's to sow confusion.
Then this month we have two spectacularly public displays of the state of this civilization that we're unfortunately stuck together in. The first was this public murder of this young Ukrainian woman by a Black man on a train. He said it was because of her race. We don't even have to get into the weeds on that. One thing I find about this situation — obviously it shows the failure of the system — this guy was a convicted felon, all kinds of crazy. He should have been in prison forever. I don't really understand what our prisons are for exactly, because it seems to be a complete crapshoot as to whether or not violent offenders end up in prison. Many foreigners say Americans have too big of prisons. You don't understand the people that we have to deal with here. We probably wouldn't need as many prisons if we did some — I'm not suggesting we literally do this — but in Saudi Arabia they cut your hand off when you steal. That might help.
The American public tolerates the prison-industrial complex because we say they're locking up a lot of people for drugs and stuff like that, but at least they've got room to keep the crazy and dangerous people in there away from us. And that's not necessarily guaranteed. Some of these judges, some of these parole boards, some of these prosecutors appear to be actively in the business of releasing the most dangerous and insane people to be in public with us. I see it as a sort of low-key, low-level war — terrorism against the American people perpetrated by one aspect of the elite class, the judiciary and their allies. This is their form of terrorism against you; the legislature has their taxes and such. There are all kinds of different ways that branches of government have found to terrorize you.
Another interesting aspect of this case is — and I'm not trying to be glib here — but I couldn't help but think: well, maybe this is a sign to people from foreign countries that this is not a place that you want to go. Maybe this will discourage people from coming here. If there is any good that could come out of it. Because for a variety of reasons, you shouldn't. You certainly shouldn't come here and go to a place where you have to ride public transit like that, I'll put it to you that way. If you're coming to America and you don't need to use public transit, run it. You'll probably be fine. But if you're in a position where you're coming here and you have to exist in that level of our society you should know that it's incredibly dangerous and it's becoming more dangerous every day. I see it where I live, I see it in the state, I see it in other states. It's undeniable. There are a lot of people on the Internet that are gonna say public transit is perfectly safe and all this. They can say that, but in real life, the people that I know that ride public transit, specifically young women, are consistently harassed and disturbed by people who shouldn't even be on the streets. Because places like public transit are the lowest common denominator. So you're gonna get the working poor who are good people who are trying to get to work but they're also now forced to interact with the dregs of society — with the mentally ill, with the drug-addled and with the violent and evil-minded. And you should never ever expose yourself to these things if it's avoidable. The idea of America as a safe harbor for anybody other than somebody who is monied I think is an outmoded idea. It's not a safe place in the major cities and stuff like that. Of course, if she was poor and she was out in bum-f*** nowhere that probably wouldn't happen. But they also wouldn't have public transportation. So it just is what it is.
But the other aspect of this is the public spectacle of the violence. I refuse to watch the video. I'm disturbed by the number of normal people that watched the video and commented on it. I've seen violence in real life, though nothing like that. I've seen dead bodies in real life, though nothing like that. But I've seen a lot of videos of violence on the Internet for those of us of that age who lived through that phase of the Internet — the cartel videos, ISIS videos and stuff. I refuse to watch that stuff anymore. There is no need. I think it's bad for you. Ironically some feminist would think this is a masculinity problem or something or whatever but I can't watch a pretty young woman be murdered. I'm not gonna watch that. I think that's fucking insane to voluntarily watch that. Somebody has to — the cops have to. You shouldn't know what happened. If you're not deeply disturbed by that then… it's just not something that I need. It really bothers me. It's like talking about the crazy people on the streets. Again, there's probably some feminist that would criticize me for saying this but I particularly feel the most disturbed — it hurts me — when you watch these videos of Kensington, Philadelphia where all the junkies are roaming around. And there are young girls who are zombified on the street. I can't watch that. That s is insane to me. How dysfunctional is your society when even attractive young girls — this is how they end up? I mean there's inherent value in this person just by being, and that they're allowed to fall through the cracks like that is just insane to me. And that ties into the murder of this young woman because these are the people that a lot of parts of society are set up to protect. That's kind of what the point is. Why do guys resist the king? Watch Braveheart. They wanna take your wives and stuff. You're supposed to be defending your young women. Not letting them be out on the streets or have to be alone on public transit and not having anybody to tell them what they should and shouldn't be concerned about. I think that's really telling that we're allowing this shit to happen to these people specifically. It's disturbing to me that normal people are watching it with less reaction than "wow, that was bad." Because I think we're normalizing extreme violence in our society in a way that never has been before.
People will say, rightly, in the '70s and such, back then there were more murders. Technically we are down on murders. That may be true. But the societal view is what I'm referring to. The consensus back in the day was generally that this is unacceptable and shocking. We seem to be reaching a point where it's blasé and for some people because they think they're gonna score political points and… our next story.
The murder of Charlie Kirk. A person that I don't really have strong feelings about either way. I didn't watch his videos because I'm past all that. Same reason I wouldn't watch Sean Hannity or anybody like that, even if I was inclined to agree generally. I don't need to watch guys debate college students, that doesn't really interest me. That's for the youth. And apparently I hadn't really been paying attention to how well known he was. I don't TikTok, I don't do any of this. So I was a little taken aback by the level of response to this. Not that it's unwarranted, I was just a little shocked by it. Everyone was saying things about it. I think that's interesting, I think that's telling. This is obviously crazy. This cannot be allowed if you want to live in a functioning country. And this is the point that people must understand. If you do anything other than condemn and warn against this type of thing — you just need to understand the future that you are asking for. If you enjoy being able to go to the store and being able to choose between 10 different types of energy drinks, if you like to be able to go get gasoline whenever you want even if it's overpriced, if you would like to continue to have your banking and your internet and all of these other things uninterrupted and functioning you need to understand that this type of political violence can escalate tit for tat so quickly that you're gonna find yourself in a failed society before you even know it. It doesn't take much. I'm not suggesting that people are gonna go to war over Charlie Kirk. I don't have strong feelings about him but he was a young man with a young wife, two children — murdered in front of thousands of college students. That's horrifying. That's demented, sick. This is obviously a person — whether you agreed with him or not — a bright future ahead of him. The offensive thing that the man seems to have done is to be a Christian? I don't know. What he is saying is just not offensive to me, even if I disagree. I think he doesn't go far enough on some positions. If Trump wasn't president then he would have supported whoever the other guy was. It's like Sean Hannity. He's the type of guy where if Jeb Bush had been the nominee in 2016, he would have supported him. This is an assassination on a level we haven't seen in America since at least RFK. This is wild.
When people talk about a civil war or civil strife, it wouldn't be a thing like in the first Civil War where a bunch of states get together and make a declaration — it would be a slow-building, low-level thing that you're only gonna start to notice when you can't get the products you're looking for because they're having trouble getting trucks down I-80 because people have been sniping at them. This country is really fragile, more than they like to admit. I really think that most people that are calling for political violence really have no idea what it is that they're asking for. I don't understand why people think they're gonna go about continuing to do all the lovely fun things they enjoy in a world where we would be shooting at political people. The best case would be like Mexico — where the cartels and cartel-funded politicians are murdering each other all the time and all these kinds of things. Or a Spanish Civil War level of retardation, barbarism, senseless violence. Which is why I'm worried about the level of coverage that these things are getting. Seems like the liberal media would want to tamp this down but they seem to be doing the opposite. There seems to be a general consensus among the media class at all levels that this is an issue. When all levels of the power structure move in lockstep in order to address the same thing at the same time that makes me very wary. Logically if you're the powers that be and you wanted to prevent more of this you would chill out about it but they're not. Because this could be the next stage of the show for us. You're gonna be part of the play. It really shows you how good people still have it materially — the little things that make it tolerable to live in this dying society: the conveniences, the various luxuries even in some podunk town to be able to get basically anything you want. As these little bonuses start to fall away, you start to see lines blurring. A lot more people get into that zone feeling like they don't have anything to lose. And that can be the most dangerous point. I think you have seen most of the violence coming from left-wing types in this respect because they have been trained, artificially thrust into a world in which they feel they have nothing to lose. They've been told a lot of crazy things that they believe; that's their reality. And in their reality they're facing an existential threat and they feel they have nothing to lose. The combination of that feeling along with severe genuine mental illness that I think is much, much worse than even those who call it out. There's crowd psychology — the madness of crowds and mob mentality — why wouldn't that extend to other emotional states like psychosis or any of these other things. I think we're potentially close to a mass panic of everybody waking up realizing they're all nuts and going apeshit. Again with this assassination story, you're putting your trust in the federal government to tell you the truth…
Lastly, Trump being fake. He's doing everything that the neocon Republican-Democrat thing want him to do but making it appear that he's doing something different by putting on this character, doing this wrestling. One of the things that I think is really telling is with these deportations. Everyone is making a big deal. But if you look at the numbers, he really hasn't done anything. Even if he ramps it up he won't even come close to undoing the damage that was done by four years of Biden. But they're hyping it up in such a big way that it looks like a big deal. If the liberal media really wanted to hurt Trump they would tell the truth to his base. As a matter of the actual numbers and what he's actually doing is all a lie — it's a show. But they're pushing Trump's agenda. It's all one and the same. Trump doesn't control the media but they're aiding him. It's because he is one of those that is controlled. Disturbing that nobody on the right is calling him out for sending federal forces on crackdowns. Emotionally I like this because a bunch of people are being brazen criminals and every once in a while you have to put a stop to that. But while in the case of DC I think it's justifiable because it's a federal district, I am not comfortable with Trump for whatever his reasons — whether they're morally good or whatever — I am not comfortable with the federal government going into non-federal cities and more or less taking over for whatever their reasons are. If they want to send in ICE or whoever to do specific law-enforcement actions, that's fine. But I am not comfortable with the federal government sending forces into these cities. And what's crazy is nobody on the right is calling this out. If Biden was doing this or Obama people would be justifiably furious. But beyond the hypocrisy of it there is the practical matter of Trump is not going to be the president in a couple of years. And because of how stupid this country is, because of how stupid things are, how we go back and forth and how it's a show — the next president is going to be some sort of leftish creep on the level that I can't even possibly imagine. And then they'll have the precedence set that they can send troops to Miami or Dallas or whatever the conservative cities are. Then people will go "my god." This is the same thing with right-wingers that didn't learn anything from COVID. They support the cops and then they're surprised when the police come and arrest them for going to the playground. These people do whatever they're told, they're not on your side. They're robot people. I don't trust the feds. In DC these cops look all stoked about "doing their jobs" or whatever but if the "doing their jobs" or whatever was to… arrest you for going to the playground, they would do that too. They don't really care who it is they're using their power against or screwing.
It's still legal to say this. Everybody needs to be wary. I went to a screening about the Constitution and they had a Q&A after and a young woman got up and said, "with the current times and everything that's going on, how can we protect the Constitution from people…" obviously she's talking about Trump. And the professor who answered her question, to her credit, said remember that this is a very partisan country so it's very easy to say this guy is violating but we don't do it when our side is violating the Constitution. And that's the truth. Nobody that runs the country respects the country, they're all laughing in your face. When you're running around about your rights and the Constitution, the people that run the government — their job is to figure out ways around that. We're diametrically opposed to what it is we're trying to do here.
Idk
there's something.

I had already pretty much determined that Trump was a puppet, a fake person, part of the show, only there because he's allowed to be there.

Or a Spanish Civil War level of retardation, barbarism, senseless violence. Which is why I'm worried about the level of coverage that these things are getting. Seems like the liberal media would want to tamp this down but they seem to be doing the opposite. There seems to be a general consensus among the media class at all levels that this is an issue. When all levels of the power structure move in lockstep in order to address the same thing at the same time that makes me very wary. Logically if you're the powers that be and you wanted to prevent more of this you would chill out about it but they're not. Because this could be the next stage of the show for us. You're gonna be part of the play. It really shows you how good people still have it materially — the little things that make it tolerable to live in this dying society: the conveniences, the various luxuries even in some podunk town to be able to get basically anything you want. As these little bonuses start to fall away, you start to see lines blurring. A lot more people get into that zone feeling like they don't have anything to lose. And that can be the most dangerous point. I think you have seen most of the violence coming from left-wing types in this respect because they have been trained, artificially thrust into a world in which they feel they have nothing to lose. They've been told a lot of crazy things that they believe; that's their reality. And in their reality they're facing an existential threat and they feel they have nothing to lose. The combination of that feeling along with severe genuine mental illness that I think is much, much worse than even those who call it out. There's crowd psychology — the madness of crowds and mob mentality — why wouldn't that extend to other emotional states like psychosis or any of these other things. I think we're potentially close to a mass panic of everybody waking up realizing they're all nuts and going apeshit. Again with this assassination story, you're putting your trust in the federal government to tell you the truth…
Lastly, Trump being fake. He's doing everything that the neocon Republican-Democrat thing want him to do but making it appear that he's doing something different by putting on this character, doing this wrestling. One of the things that I think is really telling is with these deportations. Everyone is making a big deal. But if you look at the numbers, he really hasn't done anything. Even if he ramps it up he won't even come close to undoing the damage that was done by four years of Biden. But they're hyping it up in such a big way that it looks like a big deal. If the liberal media really wanted to hurt Trump they would tell the truth to his base. As a matter of the actual numbers and what he's actually doing is all a lie — it's a show. But they're pushing Trump's agenda. It's all one and the same. Trump doesn't control the media but they're aiding him. It's because he is one of those that is controlled. Disturbing that nobody on the right is calling him out for sending federal forces on crackdowns. Emotionally I like this because a bunch of people are being brazen criminals and every once in a while you have to put a stop to that. But while in the case of DC I think it's justifiable because it's a federal district, I am not comfortable with Trump for whatever his reasons — whether they're morally good or whatever — I am not comfortable with the federal government going into non-federal cities and more or less taking over for whatever their reasons are. If they want to send in ICE or whoever to do specific law-enforcement actions, that's fine. But I am not comfortable with the federal government sending forces into these cities. And what's crazy is nobody on the right is calling this out. If Biden was doing this or Obama people would be justifiably furious. But beyond the hypocrisy of it there is the practical matter of Trump is not going to be the president in a couple of years. And because of how stupid this country is, because of how stupid things are, how we go back and forth and how it's a show — the next president is going to be some sort of leftish creep on the level that I can't even possibly imagine. And then they'll have the precedence set that they can send troops to Miami or Dallas or whatever the conservative cities are. Then people will go "my god." This is the same thing with right-wingers that didn't learn anything from COVID. They support the cops and then they're surprised when the police come and arrest them for going to the playground. These people do whatever they're told, they're not on your side. They're robot people. I don't trust the feds. In DC these cops look all stoked about "doing their jobs" or whatever but if the "doing their jobs" or whatever was to… arrest you for going to the playground, they would do that too. They don't really care who it is they're using their power against or screwing.
It's still legal to say this. Everybody needs to be wary. I went to a screening about the Constitution and they had a Q&A after and a young woman got up and said, "with the current times and everything that's going on, how can we protect the Constitution from people…" obviously she's talking about Trump. And the professor who answered her question, to her credit, said remember that this is a very partisan country so it's very easy to say this guy is violating but we don't do it when our side is violating the Constitution. And that's the truth. Nobody that runs the country respects the country, they're all laughing in your face. When you're running around about your rights and the Constitution, the people that run the government — their job is to figure out ways around that. We're diametrically opposed to what it is we're trying to do here.
Idk
there's something.
