Look how fast liberals have forgotten Russiagate. Look how quickly they’ve ignored who lied about Covid and locked them all down. Damaging their children’s learning.

It’s a cult. There is no other explanation.

They ignore child mutilation.

The left has lost their minds. They are in a cult.

One of my favorites was the Jussie Smollett farce in Chicago in Jan 2019. On the night when Jussie Smollett claimed he was attacked there was a polar vortex and the actual temperature was -15 below and he told the police his attackers (at 2:00 am) were white Trump supporters who recognized him from the black TV show and that he was able to fight them both off with a Subway sandwich in one hand and his phone in the other.

Naturally the police knew it was an absurd lie yet the story went national and the msm claimed it was yet more evidence of how ignorant, racist and homophobic Trump supporters are. The police then had to divert a lot of time and resources to absolutely prove it was a lie. Was the media ashamed of promoting such a blatant lie? Not at all. They just moved on to more lies about white racism and how racist Trump supporters are. They said even if it wasn’t true it could be true so there was nothing wrong about reporting that it was true even if it was an obvious lie.

In March 2022 Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in jail for the hoax. After 6 days in jail he was released because he kept complaining he didn’t like it there. I have no idea what happened to him after that.

I remember the Smollett case well. It smelled rotten from the get go. I looked up what Jesse has been up to. As of fall ‘23 he had checked himself into drug rehab after a few years of struggling since he put on the hate crime hoax.

A truly bizarre story and even more bizarre that the media would run with it and that so many of our “fellow Americans” would immediately believe something so wildly absurd. Is there anything they wouldn’t believe about us or about Trump? Doesn’t seem so. Still though, due to the ever worsening crime and social breakdown in our cities along with this ever worsening by the day “migrant crisis” the momentum is on our side but unfortunately this momentum is being created by the impossible to hide disintegration of our society. The democrats cannot win. They can only destroy which is what they’re doing. My hope is that AI will save our sinking ship. We will soon see about that.

Last night I happened to check the Federalist site and saw this article about Jussie Smollett. I hadn’t realized that this had actually happened on Jan 29 which made yesterday the fifth year anniversary of this deranged farce. At the end of the article, I copied and posted the excerpt below, it says this was finally resolved in December nearly 5 years after it happened. I know at one point our States Attorney Kim Foxx dropped all charges against him but then someone else was able to get the charges reinstated so he finally did get his 150 days in jail which means he’s in jail right now. A small price to pay for the damage he did. A good example though of how profoundly dysfunctional and deranged our society has become. Hard to see how this society can survive as a nation. This is just not working at all.

“Smollett was convicted in March 2022, but an Illinois appeals court ordered his release after just six days behind bars. In December 2023, the court upheld Smollet’s conviction in a 2-1 decision. The actor was ordered to pay a $25,000 fine plus more than $120,000 in restitution to Chicago and serve a 150-day jail sentence.”

It's called mass psychosis. There are some on the right that has it too, but not as many. I can admit that Trump acts like an arsewole sometimes. I can say that I don't like him personally (although sometimes he's funny and charming, in a good way - not in the seductive, manipulative way that B. Clinton was), but I'll vote for him, without a doubt, like I did twice before. Note that I was going to vote for DeSantis before he dropped out.

Mass psychosis is part of human nature and periodically emerges like a volcanic eruption or a medieval plague spreading chaos and destruction far and wide. 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.”

The Spanish inquisition is a another example. There's an example in the Book of Acts when the crowd went crazy due to Paul the Apostle praying and healing people, sharing the Gospel (the good news) of Christ and those who made and sold idols to be used in the various temples were really pissed off. It says "and a good portion of the crowd that was going crazy wasn't even sure exactly what was going on". I think it also talks of the 'spirit' of the crowd. Dark spirits (demons) certainly can be involved, but sometimes it's just the mass psychosis.

It’s widely believed in ‘conspiracy’ circles (term itself coined by CIA themselves after JFK was killed!) that President JFK was assassinated part or in whole because he threaten to dismantle the CIA. The Warren Commission was released 11 months after his death, and key member w/ a big conflict of interest on that Committee was former CIA Director, Allen Dulles. Dulles was fired by JFK in 1961 following the bungled Bay of Pigs invasion. He (Dulles) was strongly disliked by both JFK and RFK, the Kennedy’s felt duped into that operation by US Intelligence agencies.

Dulles interviewed his replacement at CIA as part of Warren investigation of JFK death (John A. McCone succeeded Dulles at CIA top slot in Nov ‘61). And John is said to have come close to perjuring himself several times in that JFK death investigation. It all still looks and smells fishy 62 years later, and perhaps explains why so many Kennedy files still remain sealed. What would be public’s reaction if there was proof a 3 letter agency was involved in a President’s death?

Expand full comment

I've seen two videos of JFK speeches; in one he says he's going to get rid of the Federal Reserve (or at least pay off the debt with USA certificates) and the other where he says he's going to dig deep for the "secret societies that are behind the government" and expose them. That'll put a bullseye on your back!

For God's sake, all of the actual evidence, as opposed to the rumors, the urban myths, and the endless babble by people who don't know their nether regions from a hole in the ground, is that Lee Harvey Oswald and Lee Harvey Oswald alone shot John F. Kennedy.

Before I recommend a book or two, I will urge upon you and all like you two videos about the assassination, both of which are on YouTube.

The first is the most brilliant graphic analysis I have ever seen of anything, the analysis of the shooting done by a young guy whose channel has the odd name, "LEMMiNO." The name may be odd, but his ninety minute analysis of exactly what went on in Dealey Plaza during those eleven seconds is virtually unanswerable.

After watching it, go to the channel of historian Sean Munger, and watch his deep dive into the assassination. After submitting yourselves to both of these analyses, lurid obsessions about three shooters' crossfire and all the other complete sh*t should begin to seem as real to you as the imaginary friend you had when you were five.

There are three books which I can personally recommend about the assassination. ( I know of others, but have not read them. )

1. Case Closed, by Gerald Posner.

2. Reclaiming History, by Vincent Bugliosi.

3. Oswald's Game, by Jean Davison. ( That one is out of print, undeservedly, because it is a brilliant analysis of just who Oswald was. You should be able to find a used copy. )

I've also heard good things about John McAdams' JFK Assassination Logic, but have not read it.

The Posner book is remarkable, and the Bugliosi book is one of the great patriotic services ever performed by an American citizen for a nation which, as usual, doesn't tend to pay attention to genuinely worthwhile things. Jean Davison is a stunning example of what a single intelligent citizen, working apart from any group, can achieve through sheer hard work and determination.

We who oppose The Thing have got real and determined enemies. They are out to take our freedom away, and to make slaves of us in the nation our forbears built and we love. Let's keep our eyes clear and fixed upon the threat which is looming, and not become chattering, easily duped fools.

I have always thought Oswald acted alone. The JFK case was where we first saw Conspiracy Theories of the bad type, the type that is intended to be un-falsifiable. They have been a growing curse ever since.

Expand full comment

Absolutely. For decades, I've thought the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories were the beginning of The Madness.

In December, 1970, I was on my way to take an English final at Batts Hall, at UTAustin, when the thought occurred to me that I might try to start a nutcase rumor that the Apollo 11 landing hadn't happened, that the whole thing had been done on a Hollywood soundstage. All I'd have to do was write a "Letters to the Editor" letter, as they were called then, to all of the major Texas newspapers, claiming that my brother, an electrical engineer who worked for NASA, and with whom I'd always had unquestioned mutual trust, had told me this.

I thought it was a wonderful idea to introduce some genial nuttery to the body politic, but also thought that it would be an immoral thing to do. Besides, I was sure that nobody who wasn't psychotic would believe such a thing.

I remember going out to look the moon, from the street of our house in Austin, while the landing was going on.

The truth does not matter. The story or "lived experience" is what matters. Look at the story of Matthew Shepard. Everyone, including the killers, wanted it to be an anti-gay hate crime. In fact, it probably was a drug deal gone bad. But why let the truth get in the way of a good story.

In medicine, "lived experience" is called "anecdotal evidence", and is dismissed as worthless. It is not part of the scientific method.

Looking at the other side of the coin (or something not far from it), in the scientific method, "independent verifiabilty" is considered critical. So how does that apply to transgenderism?

There is a lot of talk these days about how we have to come up with some "narrative" supporting our side. To that, I say nonsense. The scientific method is a great achievement of the West, and rejecting it is part of Western Anti-Westernism. Even the Chinese, for all their pretentions to the contrary, do not really accept the scientific method: they refuse to publish articles with negative results. (This means that Chinese scientists are at risk of coming up with the same wrong theories over and over again.) The only valid response to rejecting the scientific method is to reject the rejection.

RFK Sr and George Wallace would like a word. Huey Long too though he wasn't declared.

Expand full comment

Anyone who actually looks into those murders and Wallace's shooting finds it impossible to believe that any of them involved a conspiracy.

As people have noted about conspiracy theories, if you tend to believe in them, just consider the near impossibility of keeping an intended surprise party an actual surprise.

Charles Colson pointed to Watergate as an example of the preposterousness of conspiracy theories about almost anything of real importance. The president, with all of his power, couldn't shut down the revelation of his own role in trying to cover up the kind of lowlife political skulduggery which the Kennedys, Johnson, and probably Nixon and Roosevelt had engaged in to varying degrees. Why? Because too many people were involved in Watergate. Somebody was bound to talk.

The kind of conspiracies which conspiracy fantasists nurture could never work. Even the MLK assassination, the one assassination in my lifetime which did seem plausibly to have been the accomplishment of a conspiracy, wasn't. One book in particular about the MLK assassination, Gerald Posner's, is such a meticulous presentation and analysis of facts about the life and movements of James Earl Ray in the year before and the two months after the assassination that it annihilated any suspicions I had about who shot Martin Luther King and how the murder was accomplished.

We have real enemies, and we all know who they are and have some sense of what they want to do to us. Trump is a shyster and an embarrassment and the fact that he really would be an improvement over what we have now shows just how far and how hard this country has fallen.

Public figures of character - I think of people like J.D. Vance, Joe Kent, and RFK, Jr. - are who we should be looking to, but I recognize that Trump, God help us, is likelier to win the presidency this year than RFK, Jr. Still, if he does win, expect nothing. His performance when he was president didn't show him to be the kind of serious, disciplined, strategic thinker which Viktor Orban is. There is also this: Trump doesn't believe in anything.

I was in agreement with everything until the last two paragraphs. Ok, you can see through the bs about conspiracies but you can't see Trump for who he is and what he loves. Trump is no embarrassment, Biden is the embarrassment. You fail completely to see the amazing accomplishments of the first Trump presidency and praise the Putin puppet in Orban. Trump believes in America and I doubt you share his faith in our country.

I'm almost 72 years old, and my hunch is that I have several decades on you. And no, I don't "believe" in America. I suppose I did when I was young.

But here is some of what has happened in the United States in the last half century: approximately seventy - five million abortions, the near extinction of the nuclear family, two thirds of the American public coming to believe in the validity of same sex marriage. No, I don't "believe" in such a country. How could I? I'm a Christian. America is now majority unChristian, and even among that plurality which still believes, the genuineness and strength of the faith which does remain is unknown.

I don't believe that Christian countries/people enjoy exemption from life's sorrows. When I was seven, I was almost murdered in a mass murder, and have lived with two severe injuries since. I got an early, intense education in the capacity of life to inflict pain. Still, the America of 1964 was by every sane measure a vastly superior country to the country we have now. When I was 12, I did believe in that country. And you know what? I was wrong then, too.

In "believing in America" I was giving room to an idol. The Christian is commanded to believe only in Jesus Christ. Countries come and go. Ours, which I do think was great within my lifetime, is hardly that now, for the reasons I've listed, and for several I omitted.

How can any thinking person possibly "believe" in America, let alone, in Donald Trump? We're probably the least awful country on Earth, and Trump no doubt is less awful than Biden as a possible president, but does that recommend either to anyone as an object of belief?

Do you know any American history before 2000? Because it's my conclusion that only a child or a terribly ignorant and immature adult could write what you have written.

People like you just baffle me. Do you not see what a vulgar man Trump is, what a lowlife he is? God knows the country was already degraded enough when he became president, but he didn't exactly set a standard for presidential comportment, did he? John F. Kennedy is an easy man to admire and a hard man to admire. He's easy to admire for his courage, his wartime heroism, his persistence in the face of lifelong, intense physical pain. He did have the country's best interests at heart. I'm not denying that in his crude way, Trump has the country's best interests at heart, too. I'll probably vote for him. That's how bad it's gotten.

John F. Kennedy is a difficult man to admire for reasons we know well. The late historian, Dr Thomas Reeves, believed that if Kennedy hadn't been killed, in a second term, the fast changing culture of the United States would have made it impossible that Kennedy's secret life wouldn't have come to knowledge, and Kennedy would have been forced to resign.

You know what? I do wish we still had an America which was like that. We don't. But I'll say this for Kennedy, whom I had the privilege of seeing from about twenty feet away, in 1962: that man knew how to be president. He knew how to lead. If you want to see a great leader in action, go to YouTube and watch President Kennedy's speech on Medicare at Madison Square Garden, in 1962.

After that, watch Kennedy's televised speech on civil rights to the nation in June, 1963. Kennedy wrote that speech by himself. It was as yet unfinished when it was airtime, so he was pretty much speaking spontaneously in those last few minutes.

In those speeches, you see how a great leader behaves. No preening, no vulgarity, no seventh grade level insults of opponents, just a marshalling of facts and an attempt to persuade with rhetoric at a high moral level.

As young as you are, you know that in a million lifetimes, Trump could never be that kind of leader.

RFK2 believes the CIA killed his father and uncle. I saw Sirhan kill his father on live TV so the part about Sirhan being innocent doesn't fly for me but I really can't say whether or not he was primed by some Deep State faction. As for JFK, I have believed since the Church Committee revelations that is was blowback for the CIA trying to kill Castro and was covered up because it would have meant war, possibly with the Soviet Union.

Watch two things on YouTube:

1. The LEMMiNO channel's ninety minute graphic analysis of just what went on in Dealey Plaza during those eleven seconds. It's the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen.

2. The historian Sean Munger's deep dive analysis on his channel.

Book recommendations:

Reclaiming History, by Vincent Bugliosi.

Another excellent one is Gerald Posner's Case Closed.

Jean Davison's Oswald's Game, like the LEMMiNO video, is an example of what one intelligent, analytical mind can accomplish in delving into something and following the evidence to where it takes you.

RFK Jr's view of his father's assassination is distressing, because he's so sensible otherwise.

I believe that the Whitmer kidnapping plot was basically an operation to generate a false attempt on the governor for political purposes. Listening to the coverage in Michigan's capitol it didn't add up, there were things like the were planning to set her adrift in Lake Michigan, the type of thing a fourth grader would think up.

The story is that the FBI befriended various shooting enthusiasts, Second Amendment supporters and anyone else who would fall into their trap, while portraying themselves as persons of a similar nature. They would go shooting and engage in various outdoor activities while setting up their victims to take a fall. At these events they would draw persons into conversations which could be taken out of context to use against them, and took pictures which would be manipulated for maximum threatening appearance.

In Canada, the Coutts 4 are still being held by that government (and still not formally charged) — and also were ‘set up’ by that government. Trudeau used that case as pretext to then enact the Emergencies Act, as basis to then scuttle the Ottawa Freedom Convoy. The Canadian Trudeau machine used the complicit press to try the 4 Coutts men in the media only and also used words of ‘white supremacy’ on Coutts 4 and then ‘racism’ on Freedom Convoy:
