Why doesn’t Kamala borrow Trump’s promise to not allow a CBDC (digital currency) in America the way she borrowed his promise to stop taxing tips? Obviously because Kamala and all the Woke Marxist democrats very much want it since it will give them total control over Americans. Plus this will enable them to easily start a UBI which will take care of their beloved illegals and keep them here permanently. They already do have basic income programs in cities like Chicago that include the “undocumented.” Does America even still exist as a country? Here’s a question I ask myself every day: “Can our society somehow survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity?”
Simon Leys is by no means obscure—much of his work is still in print, and he was the subject of a major biography by Philippe Paquet entitled Simon Leys: Navigator between Worlds. But he deserves greater recognition as an analyst of totalitarianism, not least for the way in which he built upon Czesław Miłosz’s warning: “The man of the East cannot take Americans seriously because they have never undergone the experiences that teach men how relative their judgments and thinking habits are. Their resultant lack of imagination is appalling… If something exists in one place, it will exist everywhere.” To this, Leys added (in the Los Angeles Times of all places): “The everyday order of our lives may seem to us natural and permanent, but it is in fact as fragile and illusory as the cardboard props on a theatrical stage: It can collapse in a flash and turn at once into black horror. Our condition is forever precarious; even basic human decency can shatter and vanish in an instant.”
“Maoism had unique traits but Leys nonetheless always saw it as a member of what he called the “great totalitarian family”—ideologies produced by patterns of thought found across human societies, from tiny shipwrecked pre-Enlightenment microcosms to vast 20th century nations.”

Seva, have you seen this Federalist article on upcoming (Sept ‘24) UN vote that Biden/Harris (and more importantly their oligarch puppet masters) support?
If this passes w/ US support, all it will take is an ‘emergency’ or some kind of ‘global shock’ and US sovereignty is ceded to the UN. This does not appear to me to be either hyperbole or conspiratorial.
I am deeply sickened by the non-care of the 4th estate and Republicans as well, on who is presently running the Executive branch.
The New World Order appears to be on the immediate horizon and a 4th Turning climax may usher it in.
Here’s an excerpt from the text of a video interview of RFK’s vp Nicole Shanahan on Real Clear Politics/Video. Quite damning and this is also what they’re doing to us now and will continue to do after the election against Trump if he wins and a greatly ramped up version of this against us if they win. And these are supposed to be our “fellow Americans.” This is just not working at all.
“The extent of the sabotage they've unleashed on us is mind-blowing, we're still learning new ways they have sabotaged us. I really wanted a fair shot at this election, and I believed in the American that I pledged allegiance to as a little girl. And that is not where we are today, and it is not because of the Republican Party taking us out, it is the Democratic Party taking us out. And I am so disappointed I ever helped them, I am so disappointed I helped Chuck Schumer in that Georgia runoff, to secure the [Senate] majority. It is probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life."
RFK’s Running Mate Nicole Shanahan: DNC “Turned Us Into A Spoiler,” Made A fair Election Impossible For Us.
Good. It is quite damning and the more that see it the better. It’s even on RCP at the top now. Crazy times we’re living in. Everything moving faster and faster.
Funny she won't mention the biggest donor of RFK Jr was a Trump supporter Timothy Mellon who have over 25 million to RFK Jr and over 100 million to Trump/GOP pacs. So, she is being very dishonest on her election and who funded it.
She has plenty of money of her own from the divorce settlement from Sergey Brin. Marriage broke up when she had an affair with Elon so give her points for taste if not politics.
I know she is a billionaire, so she didn't need a Trump Supporter money. She took it anyways making RFK Jr whole election a stealth for Trump to weaken the Democrats.
A number of Republicans thought the reverse. I am willing to take her at her and RFK2 word that they were trying to win. The platform was somewhere between Democrat and Trump.
I think it was trying desperately to appeal to Democrats fortunately Democrats I suspect saw the same stealth fundraising and pushed them out hard and rightfully so.
Estee Palti as Kamala and Shawn Farash as Trump are possessed of supernatural - level brilliance. She has a YouTube channel which is a delight. I'm not sure he has.
The two or three "debates" between the two which are on YouTube are the best comedy anyone is making in this era.
I saw it! She's a treasure. She's a true comic actress, because she's going beyond an impression to do a characterization. The great example is what she does with her facial features, also, her rocking back and forth as though she's had most of a bottle of wine. Harris has never acted that way on camera, but Estee Palti's characterization brings out what we all intuit Harris would be like if she had no inhibitions. The best line in any of her videos was in a recent one. She was talking about her sense that her destiny was to be President because she could feel it in her ovaries.
A moment is coming when Kamala has a drunken word salad, or any misstep and it will go viral. How many candidates in the past have skyrocketed and crashed hard. Howard Dean anyone? Rick Perry? Two smart people. We will rue the joy with a newly crowned laughing stock. And she has no future primary to save her. The Hail Mary will bounce out of bounds.
If you don't know Estee Palti's brilliance, go to her YouTube channel. By herself, as Kamala, she's merely a genius. The couple of mock debates on YouTube between her as Kamala and Shawn Farash as Trump are sublime.
Dean made things much worse for the Democrats setting up the worst defeat 2010 there is reason why Democrats lost Missouri, Indiana, whats left Florida, Ohio for over a generation and almost lost Michigan and Wisconsin. He was the biggest shitpile to grace the Democrats.
None in Washington DC, where I live, alas. But there is one Regal theater in the Virginia (naturally) suburbs that is showing it. I'd say this is a positive sign :-)
So many funny trolls going on at the DNC, James O’Keefe and Mike Lindell among them. Nothing more they hate more than being made fun of and laughed at!
I married my husband 26 years ago because he makes me laugh, sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. He makes me laugh even when I'm so mad I want to scream, and I hate him for it a little bit at the time. I wouldn't know how to operate in this life if I couldn't laugh almost daily, maybe even daily. Humor is so so so important. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Sasha Stone, your posts and essays are wonderful. That you range from humor to tragedy to hope and fear from week to week is really balanced and powerful in providing the reader a broad view of the landscape and time. I would love to hear what you think of the expected RFK Jr decision and likely impacts. Thanks so much for a great year of reading.
I was planning to wait to hear what he says tomorrow. I know everyone is saying he will endorse Trump. I have a hard time believing that but I guess we'll see.
That website (project2025.com) is hilarious and nostalgic at the same time. I had a geocities site back in the day, I'll admit it. It wasn't much better than theirs. Good stuff.

I just came across a news story from Oktober 1932/30
In which the ‘Kommunisten und Nazi’ were working together to scam people.
With the comment at the end
Beispiel dafür, für wie dumm die Nazi und Kommunisten die Mitwelt und natürlich in erster Linie ihre'neuen Anhänger einschätzen!
Example of how stupid the Nazis and Communists consider the world around them and of course first and foremost their new supporters!
What does the comment say?
That is the comment:
Beispiel dafür, für wie dumm die Nazi und Kommunisten die Mitwelt und natürlich in erster Linie ihre'neuen Anhänger einschätzen!
Translated:
Example of how stupid the Nazis and Communists consider the world around them and of course first and foremost their new supporters!
Isn’t it amazing that people are talking about the same things almost 100 years later?
Reminds me of Leys from the Quillette article.

Republicans don't react that way to stealth fundraising. That is why they're known as the stupid party.
Matt should have put on a dress and a long haired wig. It would have looked great with the beard and nobody would have dared to challenge him.
lol, like
Colbert, Oliver, Stewart, SNL? Who watches that gaggle of pathetic court jesters?

They kicked him out.
Democrats are the most childish people on the face of the planet.
Remember, these are the people that are oh so tolerant…. As long as you agree with everything they say.
Just like Trump threw out protesters ?
HL3, I find you at your best when to challenge the important topics and not the trivial. The latter undermines your credibility.
Like I said- CHILDREN
Matt Walsh wasn’t protesting and causing a scene. You actually comparing the two? Hilarious.
Matt Walsh wasnt supposed to be there and they were just as right to throw him out.
I thought Democrats were the tolerant, inclusive ones.
Oh. My bad.
Only if you are following the script.
Repeat the Lie
Joy Joy Joy
Burning cities is peaceful
Signed

Heil Comrade
I dont believe either side is tolerant unless its a press op and their own.
Why?
Was Matt protesting?

Howard Dean smart? He ruined the democrats with his no spending on rural races
Kamala was my baseline. Doesn’t take much brains to beat.
Dean made things much worse for the Democrats setting up the worst defeat 2010 there is reason why Democrats lost Missouri, Indiana, whats left Florida, Ohio for over a generation and almost lost Michigan and Wisconsin. He was the biggest shitpile to grace the Democrats.
I believe Kamal and Timmy top him
Never switched parties she was VP
I'm astounded to discover that the Regal Theater chain is showing Walsh's new movie "Am I Racist?" in actual movie theaters. https://www.regmovies.com/movies/am-i-racist-ho00016991?date=09-12-2024
None in Washington DC, where I live, alas. But there is one Regal theater in the Virginia (naturally) suburbs that is showing it. I'd say this is a positive sign :-)
I think "Hollywood" has been taking such a beating in the last several years that they may be starting to wise up a little.
