The 'Slow Motion Collapse' Picks up Steam
Ok friends. I’m ready to hop back into the turret now that I’m back from a few weeks of travel.
This week's headlines are indicative of an era rife with turmoil and tragedy. From the heartbreaking derailment disaster in East Palestine, Ohio to strange sightings scattered across American skies - beneath this turbulent exterior is a disheartening truth: we face a government responsible for ballooning costs of living, dangerous medicine masquerading as sound healthcare solutions, unchecked immigration rates and heightened tensions surrounding our nuclear-armed, conflict-prone neighbors overseas.
The implications go beyond mere disruption; they reach into people’s homes worldwide with devastating consequences that call on us all to demand better leadership & accountability from those who govern over us
With its lies, incompetence and blatant wealth extraction, the Regime has all but forfeited public confidence - apart from a few loyalist media lapdogs. Unfortunate though it may be that these ideological mouthpieces tend to run most major publications in favour of their party line over any sense of impartiality or dissent towards the narrative du jour, aka the "Current Thing".
As Russia geared up to invade Ukraine, most of America yawned. Much to the surprise of the Administration, most civilians and journalists had simply grown accustomed to not believing a word uttered by those in power. However, despite their apathy towards American government warnings, this time the Pentagon was spot on; an invasion was imminent and even with all its predictability there seemed nothing that could be done about it aside from checking off another box in an endless list of crises. The Regime had simply ‘cried wolf’ too many times.
Similarly, Team Biden was recently taken to task over a feckless response to an egregious Chinese affront, which saw a spy balloon released from a mainland base only for it to be allowed free reign across US airspace. After the craft had finished its mission of mapping our underground assets and military installations, Biden opted not just for inaction - but belatedly launched missiles at it once safely back in international waters. Talk about shutting the barn door after all the horses have left.
In an attempt to deflect criticism of their confounding ineptitude, the Administration recently took decisive action and shot down several ‘unidentified’ airborne objects. While they desperately tried linking them to extraterrestrials or hostile powers, proper skepticism continued regarding their origins.
As I wrote last week, how long does it actually take to show a picture of the object or recover the wreckage and identify it:
Are these actual spy threats, Chinese or otherwise, or is this wag the dog tactic to deflect attention from the Hunter laptop, classified documents, Pfizer fraud, FBI gestapo tactics, Epstein’s client list, etc?
Hard to say, but like everything else the last few years, it defies common sense.
Why in the world was the original Chinese spy ballon allowed to fly across the United States, likely with ground penetrating radar mapping every secret silo or base from Alaska to the East Coast?
The response from the Pentagon and Administration to these new ‘unidentified flying object’ threats is oddly suspicious.
Their response, “we shot something down” should be laughed out of the room in a self-described open society. Any 13 year old teen can capture any moment in the globe from her smartphone. How long does a multi-trillon dollar military flying a multi-million F-22 take to show a video of what they shot down? How long does it take to recover the wreckage? An hour? Two if you didn’t have coffee yet?
Again, those with just an ounce of sensemaking and pattern recognition knew they were obviously lying…again.
Over 2 weeks later, there still has been no ‘recovery’ but crowdsourced intelligence looks like they’ve identified the alien spaceship or foreign invader - a $12 hobbyist ballon.
So the U.S. spent several million dollars to shoot down a $12 balloon, tried to say it might be aliens to detract from the embarrassment, and still hasn’t produced photos of the event, the object, or the wreckage.
An even better societal tell is our fearless White House Press corps has ignored the event and ‘moved on’. Again, in an open and free society with actual journalists, every single one of them would be demanding answers every day to this fiasco.
Same goes with East Palestine. Or open borders. Or the massive trend of excess deaths, increased cancers and healthy young people with no history of health problems dropping dead (super clue: it’s not climate change).
Anyway, cheers to Biden and the DEI Military for saving us from the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade. Their reign of terror is finally over.1
East Palestine meanwhile is a great example of why Elon Musk deserves, ‘Man of the Decade’ recognition.
If the Communists were still in charge Twitter, they would’ve black-holed the massive environmental disaster and anyone talking about it much like they did with Covid.
Had the Deep State and Twitter not conspired to shut off open debate and censor anyone questioning the official Covid narrative which was swallowed whole by billions despite being absurd on its face, we could’ve saved millions of lives had they allowed the free flow and exchange of information (Jon Lovitz voice: yeah that’s right…it came from an uncooked bat in a wet market….not the Level 4 BioLab down the street where Fauci and his minions were openly funding the exact same type of Gain-of-Function research. What a conspiracy theorist you are!).
Biden Administration Press Conference on Anything
In East Palestine, a glaring example of the powers up high trying to smother and reign in anything that might damage their reputation unfolded before our eyes. Unsurprisingly, not one major news source could be bothered with doing an ounce of digging or asking critical inquiries of the Administration’s spokespuppet regarding the incident. It was only after more than a week of the great Unwashed Hordes on Twitter calling attention to this calamity that eventually press outlets and POTUS have no choice but face this travesty head-on.
In his typical gaslighting incompetence, the Chief Nursing Home resident refused to declare the disaster a federal emergency or offer FEMA assistance. Apparently, the corrupt Ukranian government we installed in 2014 and browbeat into a proxy war with Russia is worthy of $120 BILLION of support…but not a single dollar for the American people in Ohio suffering. Don’t worry though, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has a plan…
In all seriousness though, the refusal of FEMA or the federal government to assist the good people of Ohio displaced by a massive environmental calamity should set off alarm bells for even normies who have poo-pooed my frequent takes on the Balkanization of America. Is there any doubt the decision and media coverage would have been different if this was a mostly minority town or heavily Democrat area?
The continued weaponization of all facets of the federal administration and bureaucracy against their political opponents has all the hallmarks of any totalitarian regime in history from Ukraine’s Holodomor, to Mao’s Cultural Revolution to Nazi Germany’s synchronization of the culture (Gleichschaltung) under Goebbels.
Cernovich astutely observed recently that The NY Times has been platforming genocidal views against certain subsets of the global population. How long until conservatives are their next target?
4 times in the last 3 months New York and California have been declared Federal Disasters over ‘winter storms’ and eligible for federal money and aid. I live in New York. I don’t even recall a noteworthy storm over this time period and Californians typically don’t even drive when there’s a half inch of rain.
So the heavily blue coastal States can pillage the federal machine and piggy bank for a few inches of rain or snow but a 200 mile wide cloud of vinyl chloride produced by a man made mistake that is killing trees, plants, streams and making the air unbreathable? No, that’s not eligible. Hell, it’s not even eligible to be talked about or acknowledged by the President or his Transportation Secretary (who picked a wonderful time to ‘no comment’ East Palestine while finding time to pinpoint his attention on ‘racism in the construction industry’.
The real question around East Palestine is whether this disaster is another incident in a recent trend of infrastructure disasters that seems to be gathering steam. Is it a domestic terrorism incident or just an example of ‘base case fallacy’.
Base Case Fallacy is the mental model that explains how a seeming trend may actually just an example of media amplification - much like Covid again — or whether it is an actual outlier. In order to make that determination, you need to know what is the baseline of incidents like this. In other words, how many derailments or food factory fires actually take place in a given time interval so we can measure whether this is something out of the ordinary.
Without the media hysteria and government interference, Covid would have been little more than a particularly bad flu season. Nearly all of the deaths were people over the age of 80, or those suffering from multiple comorbidities like obesity or diabetes.
Had the government not blocked readily available and effective therapeutics like Ivermectin or information about the effectiveness in preventing and treating Sars-Cov2 with Vitamin D, Zinc, Quercetin and other OTC supplements, it’s likely the death toll would have been a fraction of the actual number (which was also a fraction of the published number since anywhere from 30-70% of the cases were ‘died with Covid’ rather than ‘died of Covid’).
East Palestine, multiple other recent derailments and the food plant fires beg the question: are these signs of the collapse of complex systems brought on by neglect and incompetence, or sabotage - acts of domestic or foreign terror? There is not enough information to make that assessment yet. But the trend is certainly alarming.
Interestingly enough, during this whole environmental calamity, we haven’t heard a peep from our favorite climate hysterics such as Al Gore, Bill Gates and Greta the Goblin. I guess when there’s no money to made from the grift, it’s not worth their time.
Not that the little Soros puppet hasn’t been busy. She just published her first book…and oh what a book it is!
It’s 800 pages of the world’s most expensive toilet paper.
How many trees had to die for this civilizational tomb?
Why couldn’t she release a digital only copy and ‘save the forests’?
What is the carbon footprint to print the books and ship them from factory to warehouse to bookstore?
Were the pages printed with beetlejuice ink?
The world’s youngest hypocrite proves once again that the only true motto of the Left is - Rules for thee, not for me.
Cure 10x Worse than the Disease
The Battle to hold the architects of the Covid crisis and response accountable rages on.
Early on, many sensemakers saw clearly that the response to the deadly, man-created pandemic was far worse than the actual virus itself. Myself and many others wrote tirelessly about the insanity of masks, lockdowns, school closures, and rushing an experiemntal therapy to market that had never previously worked in 40 years of research and with almost no testing (or fraudulent testing as we correctly assumed).
On Team Truth & Reality, there have been some big ‘victories’ lately, but we need to keep up the momentum and keep pushing for accountability. Otherwise, they run the same playbook on us whether it’s a cyberattack, natural disaster, aliens or whatever else TPTB cook up next time to ‘finish the job.’
The big story this week on the Covid pushback front are Florida continuing to be in the vanguard for protecting its population from the risks of the vaccine (which far exceed those of Covid). Under the leadership of Ron DeSantis, Florida convened a grand jury in December 2022 to investigate the COVID-19 vaccines.
This week the Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo warned its citizens that the State has seen a 4400% increase in adverse events reported since the rollout of the ‘vaccine’. Even the defective H1N1 vaccine which was rapidly off the market didn’t come close to producing this type of safety signal.
The Epoch Times has the full report here.
Idaho has picked up the baton and followed suit as well.
Elsewhere in the world outside of the US:
The UK has banned boosters for anyone under the age of 65
and Germany’s mainstream media is starting to catch on. Die Welt, a major national German paper published a shocking expose discussing fraud in the Pfizer trials.
Had American ‘journalists’ showed even the slightest bit of spine or integrity, this whole sad tragedy could have been avoided. Instead, we’re now treated to the daily spectacle of dozens of young healthy adults and children collapsing dead of heart attacks and have to wonder about the long term effects of the mass MRNA experiment on immune systems and fertility.
And even though demand for the clotshot has collapsed across the world and US, you still find wine drinking white women in blue cities patting themselves on the back and lecturing others why you have to vaccinate your 6 yr old from a virus that has no discernible effect on them. And it’s not just wine swilling white women.
CDC director Rachel Walensky offered this choice quote about masking right before adding the Covid Clotshot to the childhood vaccine schedule. Walensky said the CDC is not planning to update its existing masking guidance, which includes masking recommendations for schools. “Our masking guidance doesn't really change with time.”
Sure it doesn’t. For 100 years before March 2020, the CDC and every other public health institution was clear - masks don’t work for sh*t around viruses.
Every Red State governor should immediately remove the shot from the schedule. And Walensky will be one of the people held accountable when this is all over.
The SEC and the Securitization of Innovation
Ah, the Crypto Crackdown. It's the regulatory equivalent of trying to catch a fly with a sledgehammer. Sure, bad actors and frauds should be punished, but punishing everyone in the industry for the actions of a few is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
The US government seems to have a particular talent for regulation that is not just idiotic but slow and idiotic. It's almost as if they think they can jam a square peg into any security hole they come across. By choking off fiat rails and implementing a regulatory chokehold on all crypto companies, they're just driving innovation offshore.
If the US continues down this path, Singapore, Dubai, Europe, and Asia should send the US a Christmas card every year for this boneheaded mistake. After all, Silicon Valley has been the engine of economic growth and innovation for the last 50 years. It's what has kept the US ahead of every other nation financially, economically, and technically.
But now, with this Crypto Crackdown, we risk losing that edge. Innovation doesn't wait for regulators to catch up. It moves on to greener pastures, and if the US can't keep up, we'll be left behind. So let's hope the SEC and US government can take a more measured approach to regulating the crypto industry. Let's punish those bad actors and frauds who deserve it, but let's not suffocate and scatter disruptive technologies. And let's not forget that innovation and progress are what made the US great in the first place.
On the Flip Side, the Kamikaze Approach to AI Means We’re F’cked
While the regulators ‘slow and idiotic’ approach has done wonders to make US crypto companies uncompetitive, the flip side is that AI now is an accelerating freight train without a conductor or brakes.
The paradox we find ourselves in is that legacy institutions everywhere are failing. Everyone mistakenly thinks we still have “experts” in charge, smart people tasked with providing oversight and guidance on all complex matters.
Covid proved without a doubt that the entire legacy structure is corrupt and incompetent. The CDC had one job and billions budgeted every year for that single job - and they flunked both the midterm and final beyond belief. Same outcome with the FDA who rubber stamped the most dangerous medical product in history based on glaringly deficient (and as we are now learning, fraudulent) trials.
AI needs a new regulatory body that draws on the best minds from science, law enforcement, ethics and other realms. It’s iteration should be strictly monitored, handcuffed and incrementally rolled out.
The fly in the machine is China. The People’s Republic lags us in nearly every possible metric....food, energy, militarily & financial resources. The second largest economy on Earth can barely feed their own people. However, the advantages they do have over us is a far better and more serious educational system (you won’t find Chinese Gender Studies majors) and a unity of purpose that clearly sees America as the enemy and inferior.
The Chinese government know it's a WAR and have been acting as such for more than 30 years. Meanwhile, we are either sleeping gently through this battle or, like many politicians and journalists, are overtly sidestepping it due to bribes.
The great equalizer for China is AI. The first nation to develop AGI or some version thereof, can overcome all of those deficits quickly. A God-like AI could game military strategies, develop alternative ennergy and food sources, trade/raid the American markets and create havoc everywhere except at home.
So China is full speed ahead with their AI iteration and development, with ZERO concern for the possible side effects. It’s a hail-mary pass from a boxed-in opponent. And the terrifying thing is they’re forcing us to keep pace. It's like a road where a 55 MPH speed limit is appropriate and there's a race to rule the world and China is driving 100MPH forcing us to drive 110. It likely ends in a tangled mess of carbon on the side of the highway, but we have no choice but to keep up.
The non-shocking news this week was Microsoft’s rollout of their revised Bing search engine incorporating Open AI’s ChatGPT intelligence. Not only was the chatbot often incorrect, but it was also quite feisty with answers ranging from stubbornly wrong to downright psychotic.
Elon Musk, one of the smartest humans on the planet and greatest entrepreneurs of our time, has long been cautious of this exponential technology. While most journalists and devs find the rudimentary AI’s in existence cute for their combativeness and dark humor, Elon has warned for years that AI is the greatest threat to civilization we currently face. I tend to side with him over the Gender Studies and Journalism majors at Buzzfeed and the NY Times.
Here’s a ‘entertaining’ sampling of other answers and conversations.
If the last few years has taught us anything, it’s that people are really bad at gauging risk. So many were terrified to leave their house without a worthless cloth mask to protect them against a virus with a 99.98% survival rate but didn’t think twice about electing an obviously demented moron to the most powerful office of the the land. AI is a civilizational threat for multiple reasons, as is nuclear war due to the bloodthirsty war profiteers in office. Treat them accordingly.
Oh Damar
Damar - if I wrong about all this I owe you an apology. Football is a sport that most normies fail to understand the violence and fearlessness required to play it. They assume that wearing pads protects you from the violence of two humans running straight into each other at a high speed.
As a high school sophomore, I was a baseball standout but envious of my fellow friends who got to stroll the hallways in letter jackets and play under the Friday Night Lights. So I tried out and made the team (JV of course, since I was a 5”4” 130lb fast for a white kid at the time athlete).
I did well enough in practice to earn a starting spot at defensive back and had an interception in my first game at Crespi. Game two is when I got my wakeup call. A Cleveland High freshmen running back and future varsity star introduced me to the world of basic physics like no classroom could. In the first series of plays the Cleveland RB broke into the backfield and put his shoulder down and treated me as little more than a speed bump on his way to the end zone. I stood up and felt like it was snowing as stars as big white flakes cascaded in my vision. I gingerly jogged over to the sideline and asked the coach to sub me out as I couldn’t properly focus. The coach nodded and said, “You just got your bell rung. Walk it off and be ready to get back in next series. I only learned later that the casual ‘bell ringing’ was the old school manner of describing a concussion. On the next series of downs the same monster crashed into me just past the line and knocked the wind out of me and nearly broke my hand. That was the effective end of my football career as I began dreaming of Spring Training and trying to make it through the rest of the game without ending up on a stretcher.
My point is that to play at the highest levels of the game, Damar needed superhuman levels of commitment and an absolute fearlessness which he’s in sore need of now.
Damar, if your actual goal of your new CPR initiative is to save lives, then you'll save tens of thousands more lives, including potentially many of your teammates, by being honest about the cause of your collapse. The entire world (except for the Leftist Current Thing Zombies who will literally repeat and do anything they are told) knows your heart didn’t stop and die on the field from commotio cordis - an incredibly rare occurrence that somehow has never happened before in 100 years of football and over a million plays.
Tell the truth, and be the hero we need. Because right now, your non-answer tells us everything we need to know.
Free Floating Anxiety
My friend Alex Lightman gives his take on the UFO shootdowns and other psyop methods being employed to generate a low, susatined level of fear and anxiety:
What are all these weird USA shoot-downs about?
Dr. Robert Malone gave the world the intellectual framework during his interview with Joe Rogan than caused lefty/commie musicians to lose their minds and quit Spotify.
Dr. Malone cited how manipulative PsyOps professionals get conformance via mass formation psychosis.
The key is to keep generating FREE-FLOATING ANXIETY.
Leaving the Chinese ballon with the 35 meter long EMP platform flying for 4,000 miles and only shooting it down after it left US airspace maximized free-floating anxiety.
Shooting down one then another then a third unidentified flying object also generated massive free-floating anxiety.
No useful information has been provided to allow the logical mind to calm the emotional mind, indicating to me that the PsyOps people who hijacked the COVID news and public health are still in charge - NOT the elected officials or sane normal bureaucrats - and seeking to again abuse their unelected positions at the commanding heights to simply scare the public over and over and leave them worried about their safety and family’s safety
This positions Americans like cattle to be herded towards something that would normally be rejected.
Expect being told to do some bullshit thing in the near future.
