Ah, but here’s the thing, ALL such corrupt entities become increasingly nepotistic even to the point of effectively becoming hereditary feudal lords. This brings them into an ANCIENT weakness, namely that competence in one given field simply doesn’t transmit consistently down through the generations. The more successful feudal systems learned to not be strictly hereditary, introducing at least some Meritocracy into the mix. Hunter Biden is way ahead of the curve, but is a sure sign of the general incompetence that is to come amongst these elites as their dumb and dumber kids try to take over.
What’s more, IQ in general is about to decline for the first time in the coming generations, us AND them. Our meritocratic pool will shrink but at least we’ll still have one, so we’ll have the distinct advantage. All this power that’s been handed down to them will become increasingly useless as they are able to wield it smartly less and less.
Our present group of inbred idiots also have thousands of nuclear weapons - and God only knows what other heinous killing machines developed over decades with untold trillions of $.
I feel like I'm trapped in a Twilight Zone episode.
Average IQ scores across the various human groups evolved differently in different regions of the globe because travel was so restricted hundreds of thousands of years ago. Most populations stayed local and their mutations (eg IQ related mutations) stayed local until only very recently. “Who We Are and What Made Us” is good book on this. Explains why Asians have highest average IQ and then whites. Odd that some people would know mutations and genetics result in eye color, height and so much else but would prefer to believe it doesn’t impact intelligence at all. Finally, the averages between the groups is quite large.
Philosophy & religion can compensate for IQ to a degree. The chief defect for most Asians until recently has been the concept of “Karma”, having a high IQ is almost useless for any one generation (although SOME slow progress creeps along) when your entire community takes all the cultural and philosophical implications of that metaphysic for granted.
Philosophies in general that teach people that they’re little more than the helpless toys of the gods have had a similar stultifying effect.
The more extreme forms of Calvinism aside, most forms of Christianity have valued free will and development of widespread education within their capabilities. Byzantium in particular had the highest levels of literacy, having never fallen like western Rome until 1453.
There were some of the geographical advantages too, as described in “Guns, Germs and Steel”, but gunpowder came from China and they had some of the finest medicine and steel in the world, not to mention advanced agriculture, BUT the baseline for most of those advances were established just before the Han United under one Emperor and under Confucism, a very Karmic philosophy.
A moral story, probably fictional, (but not impossible) was about a man who was executed for inventing a flying machine, not because he had any ill intentions, of which the emperor did not believe he did, but because the Emperor foresaw its inevitable use as a weapon against his Empire. He also acknowledged its potential benefits, but decided not to take the risk, killed him, burned all his work that could make another, swore all who saw him fly to silence on pang of death.
For all airplanes have been used as weapons, the net benefit for the world has so far exceeded the cost of war, but a Karmic mindset cannot easily justify such enterprising. A Christian free will mindset more easily can, especially with the science to show it is done entirely by natural forces, nothing supernatural.
I have not seen any actual footage of the trial, but I did read about that (yet another) travesty of justice. Then again, Andy had about as much of a chance of a fair trial against ANTIFA from a Portland jury than Trump will have facing a D.C. (100% Democrat) jury. So much for jury of your "peers".
There was no footage- ironically the Judge forbade it to protect the jury. So "did you see" should have been "did you read". I agree that nobody will get justice in these places, just shocked how brazen they are about it now
And why wouldn't they be brazen? The media either ignores the existence of these domestic terrorists all together, or vastly downplays their crimes as "peaceful protests".
I know Trump had a lot on his plate, especially during all of 2020, but I wish he had officially declared ANITFA a terrorist organization. Or ordered his swampy AG to do so. While Biden would have likely overturned it, the optics would have been clear.
Yes, it’s true, the many revelations Tucker helps expose through his new and improved platform are appalling. In this instance, the wickedly powerful Nancy Pelosi appears “untouchable” (above the law). Pelosi’s central role on January 6 must be brought to light. Sadly, a “uniparty conspiracy” designed to frame Trump and intimidate the MAGA majority appears to be the reality.
It is supported by all of those in power. Yes, a real enquiry would ask Pelosi some questions, but in fact she has been put off limits by guess who..... the Republicans. You cannot make this stuff up.
"The House select committee that investigated the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 failed to adequately preserve documents, data and video depositions – including communications it had with the Biden White House that are still missing – according to the Republican lawmaker overseeing the GOP investigation into the committee's work."
This sounds eerily similar to some of the things that happened leading up to and on 9/11, specifically:
1.) The 1997 hijacking scramble protocol CJCSI 3610, which distinguished emergent situations (requiring immediate action between the FAA and the military) from non-emergent situations (requiring decision input from the highest levels of the DoD) was rewritten June 1, 2001, as ordered by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. As a result, the number of fighter-interceptor scrambles fell from the usual average of 7-8 per month before the rewrite, to zero during the 3 months before September 11th, and to zero on September 11th itself.
2.) Changes in the dates of annual and semi-annual military air defense exercises resulted in an unprecedented concentration of air drills on September 11th, and included hijackings and drills in which planes hit buildings.
So the modus operandi seems to be to make sure that (a) the specific type of help needed to thwart the situation is quietly made unavailable and (b) an atmosphere of confusion is created preventing an understanding of what is unfolding thus hampering a proper response.
There is, of course, a lot more to 9/11 that I won't address, but the point is that a plot to create an incident - even on the scale of 9/11 - doesn't require that hundreds of people be "in the know". It only takes a few people in key positions making decisions that allow it to happen and then just turn the volume on the MSM propaganda machine up to 11 to make sure that the American people only focus on what they want them to focus on.
Then we get a "commission" to "investigate" based on the premise that The Official Story™ is Gospel, which avoids the possiblity of any pesky questions.
This is the key thing we are witnessing right now - the awakening of so many people to the fact that those who rule us are utterly vile and corrupt and they have zero regard for any of us. Less than zero.
It's a tough river for most to cross because it collapses their entire worldview.
A few, yes, but I'm so sure about a lot. TDS is the pretense they use to cling to what is so obviously a pack lies that only a fool -- or a Democrat -- could possibly believe. Yet here we are.
Great people like Tucker, Sasha, Glen Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, Lee Fang, etc. are helping to shine the light forward and out of this darkness but right now too few are following.
My faith in my fellow Americans is hanging by a thread, especially after watching this. I had heard much of what Sund had discussed here and there and from different sources, but hearing all put together by someone who seems above reproach really hits home. Yet half of the nation will watch this or hear about it and just scream "conspiracy theory!" and walk away. They don't want to know the truth because they cannot handle the truth. But they can still vote.
I think that there are more people that are waking up than we realize. Remember that our perception of what "people" think is filtered through the same MSM that lies to us 24/7 about everything else. It's all designed to make anyone who goes against the narrative du jour feel like they are alone and must be nuts.
Much of my bitter perception comes from my surroundings. I live in CA, pretty much the belly of the woke beast, my family is 100% into the woke, a are my employer and coworkers. All of whom live, breathe, and preach verbatim the Neo-Marxist gospel and none I can ever see who will ever be "reachable". Several of them hold PhD's.
Most important interview anyone could see. Thank you, Sasha, for providing this video.
Steven Sund has also written a fact filled., detailed book, basically a record of Jan. 6. The man is a quick speaker, the precise facts just spill out of his mouth. He is a Main Street guy, that
came up in his profession from growing up in the military to starting out as a beat cop to being
head of one of the most complicated police forces in the USA.
If you like detective stories, action thrillers, political puzzles, you will be compelled to listen to
this interview from this straight arrow guy, and then shake your head in grief.
In the Timcast video below Vivek says he’d like to have Tucker as his vp but he doesn’t think Tucker would be interested. I don’t know about that. Considering how dire our situation is he might well be interested. I can imagine Vivek having Tucker as vp, Bret Weinstein in charge of the CDC, Harmeet Dhillon in charge of the DOJ and Tulsi at the DHS to deal with the border. I can’t imagine Trump or any of the others doing things like that. Just imagine though how miraculous and profoundly positive it would be if we could have sane, highly intelligent, highly competent people in charge instead of deranged freaks and Woke fanatics.
Liz Wheeler talks about questions raised about the drugs he was able to get on the market from his biotech company. I’d very much like to see him do an interview with Liz about these issues. She likes him a lot but would ask tough questions to get these issues resolved. Vivek is the best candidate, the only one who could make it past the democrat’s hate machine and election stealing and the only one who could have a chance of actually governing our severely fractured and badly failing society so I hope he can resolve these questions about his biotech company.
“Vivek Ramaswamy on Timcast: How I Will Build my Cabinet & Other Positions in My Administration.” (4 min)
The only problem I have with Vivek is his public description of Joe Biden as a "nice person". I saw Harris Faulkner's interview of his wife, Apoorvra Ramaswamy, where she also called him"nice". Bluck! Joe Biden has NEVER been a nice person!
I saw that. Biden is Woke, demented and flat out evil. I agree they should not have said he’s nice but that’s very minor compared to the nonstop beating Vivek gives them. Besides his intelligence, quick mind and so much knowledge in so many areas is the drive, commitment and sincerity apparent in every interview. Where does that come from? It comes from his awareness of how hideously evil Woke ideology is. Both Vivek and his wife say they do not want their children growing up under the rule of such evil. So why don’t they just go to another country to live? They are wealthy and could easily do so. Because they are committed to America and understand that the failure of the American experiment will have disastrous consequences for world history plus they know many countries are already just as bad if not worse than we are. They feel terrified of what the future will be like if they fail. That’s what drives them. I certainly do hope they succeed.
He doesn’t need to pay me. I totally agree with him that our situation is quite deadly and quite disastrous which others I follow also say. Bret Weinstein, Kim Iversen, Tulsi, Tucker, Elon and many others I follow also say this. Apparently what they say sails past you like water off a duck’s back but I take it very seriously. This is not a game being played here. I recommend reading up on the ghastly history of the dreadful twentieth century to get a better understanding of how deadly and demonic our fallen world can be.
One problem, maybe THE problem, with Tucker being Vivek’s VP, is that Vivek is envisioning a landslide. That’s what he feels he would need in order to be effective. Of course nobody can orchestrate a landslide unless they cheat, and Vivek isn’t planning on cheating, far as I know. But he puts it out there: he needs a landslide, because 51% of the votes is not a mandate, and he wants to see the country move towards unity. I give him credit for having a vision, at least. Anyway, Carlson is a polarizing figure to put it mildly. The Democrats I know hate this guy with a passion that is matched only by their hatred for Trump. It’s TDS 2.0 really.
The idea of a landslide is a pipe dream anyway, unless I’m completely misreading the Democrats. They’re ideology junkies and the media is their pusher. I know Democrats whose faces go blank when I mention the Twitter files. Hunter Biden’s laptop is fake news to them. “The Big Guy” is a term they haven’t heard. Biden is a saint among men. They’ve never seen him fall up the stairs.
A woke friend of mine refers to her politics as “conventional,” as if there were not a huge population of Americans whose politics are also conventional, but the exact opposite of hers.
What you say is true but you’re overlooking how rapidly this is all changing due to things like surging crime in our cities and our “migrant crisis” caused by our open southern border. I live in Chicago which is being destroyed by city wide black wilding, carjacking and crime. There are now crews from the south side roaming the streets of trendy north side areas which, even in broad daylight, pull up to someone, armed black youths jump out of the car, steal whatever valuables he has and then drive off. Sometimes they also pistol whip or shoot the victims. These victims in these areas are predominantly democrats who are beginning to realize their city is becoming unlivable.
Another out of control issue is this “migrant crisis.” Chicago is “overwhelmed” with 12,000 “migrants.” What will we do a year from now when that number is 2 or 3 times more? How about 120,000? Most of these people will never show up for a court date and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. No borders means no country. Excellent video below about how furious blacks are about having these “migrant shelters” set up in their communities. And these blacks in cities like Chicago were the most reliable base of the Democratic Party as are these progressive whites now being targeted for armed robbery as they’re walking down the street even in daylight hours. This is unsustainable and rapidly worsening.
“Inaction By Brandon Johnson As Gun Reports Emerge At Migrant Shelters.” (13 min)
Thanks for your insights. You're right about the degradation of the quality of life in the big cities. Crime is up here in New York, but our migrant crisis is just beginning to be acknowledged. There are at least 60,000 so-called "asylum seekers" being housed in 200 temporary emergency shelters.The city is planning temporary structures in soccer fields and parking lots, and probably Central Park and Prospect Park. That will produce an interesting change in the quality of life, because New Yorkers don't have cars or backyards, and we rely heavily on the parks.
In a recent interview, the Commissioner of the Office of Emergency Management, Zach Iscol, began his propaganda spiel by reminding viewers of the U.S.'s long history of taking in immigrant populations, before saying that he couldn't explain the lack of a federal response to New York's needs. The governors of Texas and Florida could explain it to him, but the facts might hurt his feelings.
You're quite right about pissed-off black people being stereotyped and taken for granted by the Democrats: "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black," said good old Joe. Then why did Trump's demographics in 2020 show an increase in black male and overall Latino votes? However, the question remains whether there are enough disaffected people of color to tip the scales without the participation of white progressives.
I'm a disaffected Democrat. 98.5% of the people I know personally, view the entire world through the lens of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They are impervious to everything outside their belief system and what they hear on MSNBC. They don't know what they don't know, but they know who to blame: Putin, Fox News, and MAGA. They will never vote for Vivek, who lionizes Ronald Reagan. Prove me wrong...I hope you can.
Our society is disintegrating. Worth watching Vivek Ramaswamy and Bret Weinstein discussing our present condition which certainly is impressively disastrous. The whole 2 hours are well worth watching but especially the last 15 minutes beginning at the 1:48 point in the video. Well worth watching. Quite damning of our ruling class. Two of our brightest public intellectuals discussing the profound rot in all areas of our society. You can also watch the Australian scientist Alan Thompson talking about how rapidly AI is advancing. The two wild cards now and in our future are Vivek and AI. Both will have a profound impact on our society which is disintegrating and our world which is in a tailspin. The best of times. The worst of times.
“Bret Speaks with Vivek Ramaswamy on the Darkhorse Podcast.” (2:003)
The flaw is in human nature. Here’s a good article from Quillette about why. Basically a flaw in human nature which causes many to be susceptible to what Elon calls “a mind virus.” They are Woke which means possessed by the irrational.
“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.”
“History does not repeat itself, but ideas do.”
“Analyst of Totalitarianism-Reading Simon Leys Today.”
Some excerpts below from a Quillette review of a book about the irrational side of human nature. The last one says: “One comes away with the sense that civilization operates on narrow margins and is always on the verge of collapsing into irrationality.” That sure is the truth.
“Mackay makes the case, often in gory detail, that episodes of collective mania seem to be an inevitable consequence of human nature. Humans in every time and place have cast aside their better judgment and allowed themselves to be caught up in all manner of irrational hoopla.“
“His chapters on the Swabian Peasants’ War and Anabaptist uprisings are terrifying depictions of the end-times frenzy that wreaked havoc on northern Europe throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. The distance between these events in the German-speaking world and, say, the Reign of Terror in France or the Chinese Cultural Revolution is not that great. And the speed with which apparently reasonable people moved from the embrace of a new theological idea to a willingness to torture those whose own theological ideas diverged even slightly is startling.“
“There is plenty to recommend about The Delusions of Crowds. It is laden with great anecdotes and the writing is always engaging. One comes away with the sense that civilization operates on narrow margins and is always on the verge of collapsing into irrationality.”
HINT and SPOILER ALERT: Within the questions: the FBI and government apparatus had advanced knowledge of the scale of the J6 mall assembly yet doing nothing? Why were the Capitol Hill police never informed of the FBI concerns? Why didn’t House Speaker Nancy Pelosi secure the Capitol Hill complex, and why did she deny the request by President Trump to call up the national guard for security support? Why did the FBI have agent provocateurs in the crowd, seemingly stimulating rage within a peaceful crowd to enter the Capitol building? There have always been these nagging questions around ‘why’?
I think most, not all, but a large number of people, are totally missing what happened; and why this happened on Jan 6th. I am going to try my best to outline the events that day, blast past the commonly held assumptions and get right down to the core corruption.
I will present this as a series of questions and answers.
♦ Q1: How do you prevent congress from delaying the certification of state electoral votes?
A: It requires a crisis. A crisis that creates an “emergency” …An “emergency” that invokes special house rules.
FACTS: Remember carefully, focus please. Just moments, literally 3 minutes before two representatives issued a vote for motions to suspend the certification, the House members were “informed” by capitol police and other “agents” that a protest was about to breach the chambers. It was at this time that key people: Pence, Pelosi, Schumer, Mcconnell can be seen being walked out and escorted from the chamber. This effectively halted the Entire Chamber Process.
♦ Q2: Why was it necessary to halt the chamber process?
A: The crisis was created to eliminate the motion challenges to halt the certification and to begin voting to look into voting irregularities and fraud
FACTS: The two motions were completely legal and constitutional under at least two constitutionally recognized procedures… procedures that would REQUIRE the house to pause the certification and then vote to determine whether the motions of suspend could move forward.
♦ Q3: What was so important to refuse this motion and the subsequent votes to suspend the electoral certification?
A: It was important to remove that process entirely and continue the fraud and certify the fraud with no detractors on record. This effectively gives no standing for a SCOTUS ruling appeal! Understand this. If those two motions, even just one had successfully been voted EVEN IF THE MOTIONS were DENIED IN VOTE, this gives those who presented them with STANDING FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL LEGAL ARGUMENT BEFORE SCOTUS.
Fox is truly as bad as the rest. To hide this kind of thing… It’s not just protecting business interests/ pharma ad money, or whatever. It’s literally treason.
(I hear the choruses of “Duh”, but we all have our own color of coffin nails, I guess….
Brilliant interview. Thank you for linking it. It should be aired around the world. We are worse than a banana republic! We are the poster child for what a Democratic Republic should never become. The corruption is unfathomable. This is exactly what our forefathers tried to protect us from by framing the US constitution.
We are two nations. The Nation of Washington D.C. with its big banker elite masters, their enforcers in military, police, and intelligence services, their propaganda houses, and their followers; the Rainbow people. Then there is the rest of us. The descendents of the people of the Historic American Nation. We are fewer, but it does not take a majority to make a new nation. It takes massive non-participation, relocation, and new local systems.
Tucker did it again! He shares what we need to hear and brings the corruption out for us to see. January 6 was a setup! And now Trump has been indicted for it. Sadly 1/2 of America still doesn’t see or get it. Leaves me scratching my head!
They are Woke which means possessed by the irrational. Basically a strange combination of Hitler’s Nazis (Race obsessed fanatics) and Mao’s Red Guard (Equal Outcomes obsessed fanatics). Certainly a very unfortunate development but not at all new or unusual. The dreadful twentieth century was full of such fanaticism. I believe though that the two wild cards now and the future will be Vivek and the incredibly rapid advance of AI which will soon be a game changer for all of humanity. Hope springs eternal as does wishful thinking but there really are very good reasons why we can avoid the abyss and have a very bright future powered by AI.
I'm barely 1/4 of the way through and I don't think I've ever been so appalled.
WTF has happened to our country? Who is in charge?
Once you accept that we live in a giant criminal empire run by mass murdering psychopaths and monumental thieves, everything makes perfect sense.
“The best slave is the one who thinks he is free.”
― Johann von Goethe

The problem with the aristocracy imploding is that they tend to take the entire realm down with them. See: Rome.
Agree completely on the I.Q. thing though. You can thank "higher education" for that one.
Our present group of inbred idiots also have thousands of nuclear weapons - and God only knows what other heinous killing machines developed over decades with untold trillions of $.
I feel like I'm trapped in a Twilight Zone episode.
We /are/ in a TZ episode. Or more like Night Gallery.

You are a very knowledgeable person and excellent writer. Thanks for sharing both.
I understand and acknowledge it. I do not and never will accept it.
We are in Bolshevik control. Did you see antifa's lawyer threaten the jury in broad daylight during the Andy Ngo trial?
I have not seen any actual footage of the trial, but I did read about that (yet another) travesty of justice. Then again, Andy had about as much of a chance of a fair trial against ANTIFA from a Portland jury than Trump will have facing a D.C. (100% Democrat) jury. So much for jury of your "peers".
There was no footage- ironically the Judge forbade it to protect the jury. So "did you see" should have been "did you read". I agree that nobody will get justice in these places, just shocked how brazen they are about it now
And why wouldn't they be brazen? The media either ignores the existence of these domestic terrorists all together, or vastly downplays their crimes as "peaceful protests".

I can imagine Vivek having Tucker as vp, Bret Weinstein in charge of the CDC, Harmeet Dhillon in charge of the DOJ and Tulsi at the DHS to deal with the border. I can’t imagine Trump or any of the others doing things like that. Just imagine though how miraculous and profoundly positive it would be if we could have sane, highly intelligent, highly competent people in charge instead of deranged freaks and Woke fanatics.
Liz Wheeler talks about questions raised about the drugs he was able to get on the market from his biotech company. I’d very much like to see him do an interview with Liz about these issues. She likes him a lot but would ask tough questions to get these issues resolved. Vivek is the best candidate, the only one who could make it past the democrat’s hate machine and election stealing and the only one who could have a chance of actually governing our severely fractured and badly failing society so I hope he can resolve these questions about his biotech company.

The only problem I have with Vivek is his public description of Joe Biden as a "nice person". I saw Harris Faulkner's interview of his wife, Apoorvra Ramaswamy, where she also called him"nice". Bluck! Joe Biden has NEVER been a nice person!
I saw that. Biden is Woke, demented and flat out evil. I agree they should not have said he’s nice but that’s very minor compared to the nonstop beating Vivek gives them. Besides his intelligence, quick mind and so much knowledge in so many areas is the drive, commitment and sincerity apparent in every interview. Where does that come from? It comes from his awareness of how hideously evil Woke ideology is. Both Vivek and his wife say they do not want their children growing up under the rule of such evil. So why don’t they just go to another country to live? They are wealthy and could easily do so. Because they are committed to America and understand that the failure of the American experiment will have disastrous consequences for world history plus they know many countries are already just as bad if not worse than we are. They feel terrified of what the future will be like if they fail. That’s what drives them. I certainly do hope they succeed.
Just wondering, are you getting paid by Vivek?
He doesn’t need to pay me. I totally agree with him that our situation is quite deadly and quite disastrous which others I follow also say. Bret Weinstein, Kim Iversen, Tulsi, Tucker, Elon and many others I follow also say this. Apparently what they say sails past you like water off a duck’s back but I take it very seriously. This is not a game being played here. I recommend reading up on the ghastly history of the dreadful twentieth century to get a better understanding of how deadly and demonic our fallen world can be.
One problem, maybe THE problem, with Tucker being Vivek’s VP, is that Vivek is envisioning a landslide. That’s what he feels he would need in order to be effective. Of course nobody can orchestrate a landslide unless they cheat, and Vivek isn’t planning on cheating, far as I know. But he puts it out there: he needs a landslide, because 51% of the votes is not a mandate, and he wants to see the country move towards unity. I give him credit for having a vision, at least. Anyway, Carlson is a polarizing figure to put it mildly. The Democrats I know hate this guy with a passion that is matched only by their hatred for Trump. It’s TDS 2.0 really.
The idea of a landslide is a pipe dream anyway, unless I’m completely misreading the Democrats. They’re ideology junkies and the media is their pusher. I know Democrats whose faces go blank when I mention the Twitter files. Hunter Biden’s laptop is fake news to them. “The Big Guy” is a term they haven’t heard. Biden is a saint among men. They’ve never seen him fall up the stairs.
A woke friend of mine refers to her politics as “conventional,” as if there were not a huge population of Americans whose politics are also conventional, but the exact opposite of hers.
What you say is true but you’re overlooking how rapidly this is all changing due to things like surging crime in our cities and our “migrant crisis” caused by our open southern border. I live in Chicago which is being destroyed by city wide black wilding, carjacking and crime. There are now crews from the south side roaming the streets of trendy north side areas which, even in broad daylight, pull up to someone, armed black youths jump out of the car, steal whatever valuables he has and then drive off. Sometimes they also pistol whip or shoot the victims. These victims in these areas are predominantly democrats who are beginning to realize their city is becoming unlivable.
Another out of control issue is this “migrant crisis.” Chicago is “overwhelmed” with 12,000 “migrants.” What will we do a year from now when that number is 2 or 3 times more? How about 120,000? Most of these people will never show up for a court date and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. No borders means no country. Excellent video below about how furious blacks are about having these “migrant shelters” set up in their communities. And these blacks in cities like Chicago were the most reliable base of the Democratic Party as are these progressive whites now being targeted for armed robbery as they’re walking down the street even in daylight hours. This is unsustainable and rapidly worsening.

Hi Seva,
Thanks for your insights. You're right about the degradation of the quality of life in the big cities. Crime is up here in New York, but our migrant crisis is just beginning to be acknowledged. There are at least 60,000 so-called "asylum seekers" being housed in 200 temporary emergency shelters.The city is planning temporary structures in soccer fields and parking lots, and probably Central Park and Prospect Park. That will produce an interesting change in the quality of life, because New Yorkers don't have cars or backyards, and we rely heavily on the parks.
In a recent interview, the Commissioner of the Office of Emergency Management, Zach Iscol, began his propaganda spiel by reminding viewers of the U.S.'s long history of taking in immigrant populations, before saying that he couldn't explain the lack of a federal response to New York's needs. The governors of Texas and Florida could explain it to him, but the facts might hurt his feelings.
You're quite right about pissed-off black people being stereotyped and taken for granted by the Democrats: "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black," said good old Joe. Then why did Trump's demographics in 2020 show an increase in black male and overall Latino votes? However, the question remains whether there are enough disaffected people of color to tip the scales without the participation of white progressives.
I'm a disaffected Democrat. 98.5% of the people I know personally, view the entire world through the lens of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They are impervious to everything outside their belief system and what they hear on MSNBC. They don't know what they don't know, but they know who to blame: Putin, Fox News, and MAGA. They will never vote for Vivek, who lionizes Ronald Reagan. Prove me wrong...I hope you can.
Our society is disintegrating. Worth watching Vivek Ramaswamy and Bret Weinstein discussing our present condition which certainly is impressively disastrous. The whole 2 hours are well worth watching but especially the last 15 minutes beginning at the 1:48 point in the video. Well worth watching. Quite damning of our ruling class. Two of our brightest public intellectuals discussing the profound rot in all areas of our society. You can also watch the Australian scientist Alan Thompson talking about how rapidly AI is advancing. The two wild cards now and in our future are Vivek and AI. Both will have a profound impact on our society which is disintegrating and our world which is in a tailspin. The best of times. The worst of times.

The flaw is in human nature. Here’s a good article from Quillette about why. Basically a flaw in human nature which causes many to be susceptible to what Elon calls “a mind virus.” They are Woke which means possessed by the irrational.
“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.”
“History does not repeat itself, but ideas do.”

Some excerpts below from a Quillette review of a book about the irrational side of human nature. The last one says: “One comes away with the sense that civilization operates on narrow margins and is always on the verge of collapsing into irrationality.” That sure is the truth.
“Mackay makes the case, often in gory detail, that episodes of collective mania seem to be an inevitable consequence of human nature. Humans in every time and place have cast aside their better judgment and allowed themselves to be caught up in all manner of irrational hoopla.“
“His chapters on the Swabian Peasants’ War and Anabaptist uprisings are terrifying depictions of the end-times frenzy that wreaked havoc on northern Europe throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. The distance between these events in the German-speaking world and, say, the Reign of Terror in France or the Chinese Cultural Revolution is not that great. And the speed with which apparently reasonable people moved from the embrace of a new theological idea to a willingness to torture those whose own theological ideas diverged even slightly is startling.“
“There is plenty to recommend about The Delusions of Crowds. It is laden with great anecdotes and the writing is always engaging. One comes away with the sense that civilization operates on narrow margins and is always on the verge of collapsing into irrationality.”

Tucker (and others) asked the question “Why?”
For those who are interested, this blog post—which goes into great detail--might add some clarity.

HINT and SPOILER ALERT: Within the questions: the FBI and government apparatus had advanced knowledge of the scale of the J6 mall assembly yet doing nothing? Why were the Capitol Hill police never informed of the FBI concerns? Why didn’t House Speaker Nancy Pelosi secure the Capitol Hill complex, and why did she deny the request by President Trump to call up the national guard for security support? Why did the FBI have agent provocateurs in the crowd, seemingly stimulating rage within a peaceful crowd to enter the Capitol building? There have always been these nagging questions around ‘why’?
I think most, not all, but a large number of people, are totally missing what happened; and why this happened on Jan 6th. I am going to try my best to outline the events that day, blast past the commonly held assumptions and get right down to the core corruption.
I will present this as a series of questions and answers.
♦ Q1: How do you prevent congress from delaying the certification of state electoral votes?
A: It requires a crisis. A crisis that creates an “emergency” …An “emergency” that invokes special house rules.
FACTS: Remember carefully, focus please. Just moments, literally 3 minutes before two representatives issued a vote for motions to suspend the certification, the House members were “informed” by capitol police and other “agents” that a protest was about to breach the chambers. It was at this time that key people: Pence, Pelosi, Schumer, Mcconnell can be seen being walked out and escorted from the chamber. This effectively halted the Entire Chamber Process.
♦ Q2: Why was it necessary to halt the chamber process?
A: The crisis was created to eliminate the motion challenges to halt the certification and to begin voting to look into voting irregularities and fraud
FACTS: The two motions were completely legal and constitutional under at least two constitutionally recognized procedures… procedures that would REQUIRE the house to pause the certification and then vote to determine whether the motions of suspend could move forward.
♦ Q3: What was so important to refuse this motion and the subsequent votes to suspend the electoral certification?
A: It was important to remove that process entirely and continue the fraud and certify the fraud with no detractors on record. This effectively gives no standing for a SCOTUS ruling appeal! Understand this. If those two motions, even just one had successfully been voted EVEN IF THE MOTIONS were DENIED IN VOTE, this gives those who presented them with STANDING FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL LEGAL ARGUMENT BEFORE SCOTUS.
Thing is there was a time when I would have asked Do You Use Tin or Aluminum foil For Your Hat? These days I'm taking Alex Jones lessons.
Insightful comment. Ty Fritz.
Fox is truly as bad as the rest. To hide this kind of thing… It’s not just protecting business interests/ pharma ad money, or whatever. It’s literally treason.
(I hear the choruses of “Duh”, but we all have our own color of coffin nails, I guess….
The Roy, er Murdoch clan thought they had silenced Tucker. Like Obi-Wan he has become more powerful than they could ever believe.
And even more credible, while Fox's credibility circles the drain.

Brilliant interview. Thank you for linking it. It should be aired around the world. We are worse than a banana republic! We are the poster child for what a Democratic Republic should never become. The corruption is unfathomable. This is exactly what our forefathers tried to protect us from by framing the US constitution.
We the People have to ...
We are two nations. The Nation of Washington D.C. with its big banker elite masters, their enforcers in military, police, and intelligence services, their propaganda houses, and their followers; the Rainbow people. Then there is the rest of us. The descendents of the people of the Historic American Nation. We are fewer, but it does not take a majority to make a new nation. It takes massive non-participation, relocation, and new local systems.
This is so weird. Heaven help us.
Unbelievable! Can’t wait for this to be known everywhere. Is Evil nancy still on earth? just asking - revenge belongs to my Lord.
Subpoena Pelosi!
Of course it was a set up. Nan was probably salivating over a possible riot to pin on Trump.
Tucker did it again! He shares what we need to hear and brings the corruption out for us to see. January 6 was a setup! And now Trump has been indicted for it. Sadly 1/2 of America still doesn’t see or get it. Leaves me scratching my head!
They are Woke which means possessed by the irrational. Basically a strange combination of Hitler’s Nazis (Race obsessed fanatics) and Mao’s Red Guard (Equal Outcomes obsessed fanatics). Certainly a very unfortunate development but not at all new or unusual. The dreadful twentieth century was full of such fanaticism. I believe though that the two wild cards now and the future will be Vivek and the incredibly rapid advance of AI which will soon be a game changer for all of humanity. Hope springs eternal as does wishful thinking but there really are very good reasons why we can avoid the abyss and have a very bright future powered by AI.
