Remember Superman’s iconic saying? “Truth, Justice and the American Way.”
The Superman character emerged in a time of innocence in the United States when there was a genuine belief that the “American Way” was understood as a commitment to truth, equal justice under the law and fighting for the little guy. Boy, were we naive.
We are now living in an age where lies are presented as “truth” and anyone who dares to speak out against those lies is accused of being either a racist or transphobic or pro-Putin. In short, a conspiracy theorist. I started thinking about this in depth in the wake of Tucker Carlson’s revelations this week about the so-called January 6th Insurrection. Before Carlson showed the actual video footage from the Capitol, the world, not just the American public, were presented with a skillfully crafted flood of propaganda that portrayed Trump supporters as violent racists who wantonly killed Capitol Hill police. That is a lie. Not a single police officer of any kind was killed by Trump supporters on January 6. Not one. Yet high ranking U.S. Government officials, such as the despicable Attorney General, Merrick Garland, continue to repeat that falsehood and no one in the mainstream media is rebutting his mendacity.
But it is not just January 6. The United States government and many of its citizens are embracing a tsunami of lies. Here are a few:
- The economy is doing swell and inflation is under control.
- Men can have babies.
- White racists represent the greatest threat to American security.
- Russia is a communist, authoritarian state.
- Wearing masks and taking vaccines prevents you from catching COVID.
- Russia meddled in the 2016 election and ensured Donald Trump’s victory.
- Russia’s military is weak and performing poorly on the ground in Ukraine.
- Ukraine’s President Zelensky is on par with Winston Churchill.
- The United States has the greatest, most powerful military in the world.
When you are lying to yourself about yourself you endanger yourself. Let’s say you are five foot eight and weigh 260 pounds. Instead of admitting you are a fat slob and in danger of becoming a diabetic, you continue to eat sugar saturated food and insist you are healthy. It does not matter what you believe about yourself, biology and medical facts will catch up to you and you are not likely to have a long life.
The same principle about the adverse consequences of self-delusion apply to nation states. America, in particular, is at a precarious moment in its history and is behaving like a cocaine addict who also loves an occasional hit of fentanyl. The United States has not yet overdosed, but it is only a matter of time before its continued excesses — economically, socially and militarily — will produce a fatal crisis.
Consider the Biden Administration’s fanatical support for Ukraine. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt nation’s on earth but the Biden team, with media help, continue to portray it as a flourishing democracy. I have heard from a friend who has seen some of the CIA briefings on Ukraine that the U.S. intelligence community is insisting that Russia is running out of weapons and its troops are performing poorly. The CIA said it, so it must be true. Right?
Wrong! The war in Ukraine has exposed the uncomfortable and dangerous truth that America has lost its ability to mass produce in a timely manner artillery shells, cruise missiles and other critical military equipment. While the CIA and the Western media continue to insist that Russia is running out of rockets and missiles, Russia continues to fire an average of 20,000 artillery rounds a day (compared to only 3 to 5 thousand by Ukraine).
I understand the need to lie to the public about military plans and tactics and to protect confidential intelligence sources. But that is not what is going on now. This is different than the lies told to the American public about the war in Vietnam as it raged. At least back then there were intelligence officers in the CIA and the military who reported the truth about the enormous size of the Viet Cong guerrillas and the effectiveness of the North Vietnamese military. The politicians — Johnson and Nixon in particular — continued to lie but they faced a skeptical, and at times hostile, press. There at least was a healthy debate in the United States, although the U.S. Government went to great lengths to smear and defame anyone who insisted the war in Vietnam was wrong.
We do not have that now. The only person on the mainstream media shows speaking out about these lies is Tucker Carlson. And he is being attacked by Democrat and Republican leaders. How dare he call bullshit on bullshit?
The propaganda, unfortunately, is persuading a large number of Americans that Russia and China and Iran and North Korea are our enemies and must be stopped and, most disturbing, that we have the military means to do so. I was chatting with a retired Army NCO the other day. This man held a high position in the Defense Intelligence Agency after retiring from the Army. He told me, “the Russian army is terrible and they are losing.” When I tried to explain why that was not true by offering some facts that are in the public domain, he cut off the conversation and refused to discuss it anymore. I wish I could say this was an isolated incident but it is not.
I suppose it is like having a friend who is addicted to narcotics or alcohol and is headed towards a tragic end. Logic and reason do not work. That person or that country has to hit rock bottom and come to the realization that a change is needed.
The news this week that China is brokering a rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia is a watershed moment of America’s fading influence in the Middle East and the emergence of a new international order that will be outside of its control. The United States, emerging from World War II virtually unscathed, grew accustomed to setting the international agenda and coercing other nations to conform to our will. Those days are over and most Americans do not comprehend the import of these changes.
National leaders lying to themselves and their subjects is not new. Romania’s longtime communist dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu, learned the hard way. So too did Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein and Ngo Diem. America is still in the throes of the Superman myth. We still believe we can leap tall buildings in a single bound. However, NASA can no longer put together a space ship that reliably and safely transports U.S. astronauts to the International Space Station. We need the Russians or Elon Musk to do that.
When I was a 14 year old teenager (that was more than 50 years ago) I read William Shirer’s, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. It made a lasting impression; especially the portion of the book describing The Final Solution. I remember asking myself why the people of Germany did not see the threat the NAZI system presented to them and the world. Why didn’t they do something to stop it? Now, I think I understand. The German people were deluged with lies and, rather than push back and demand truth, succumbed to those lies. I fear that same dynamic is at play now in the United States and in Europe. At some point, the lies will come crashing down.
Tucker Carlson also recently did a bold segment about the coup to oust President Nixon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgXq8S02NJc
A very few Americans are aware of details about the CIA’s 2014 coup in Kiev shown in this short video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtbnLuKpjpo
I started writing about the consequences the West is facing today, in the wake of the 9/11 terror attack.
Our problem is not just the lies about 9/11, January 6 and all the other terror acts perpetrated throughout NATO Nations by insider agents.
The US, UK and the EU citizens are bombarded with a tsunami of lies by a bought and paid for Western Mainstream media.
And no one dares to call what has happened in Western politics during the last 20 years for what it is: Reemergence of NAZIsm.
Ukraine, Canada, and the US are some of the most NAZI infested nations on earth, but NATO Governments and its media whores continue to portray these Nations as democracies.
The NAZI propaganda have persuaded a large number of the western population that Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are our enemies and that we have the military means to do bully them into submission.
However, the war in Ukraine has exposed the reality that NATO has lost its ability to mass produce artillery shells, cruise missiles and other critical military equipment when it’s needed. The production capacity in all NATO Nations can’t even keep up with the demand for the Ukrainian military alone.
When you try to explain reality to your fellow man, you are cut off, as most people refused to even discuss it. We are actually lying to our self as Nations, and it is endangering us all.
Europeans with their dictators Mousseline and Hitler learned it the hard way.
When I was a 14 year old I was educated in Danish Schools about The Rise and fall of the Third Reich. Afterwards the entire class was wondering why the people of Germany did not see the threat the NAZI system presented to the whole world. We were wondering why didn’t they do something to stop it?
Today our Children have become blinded by the exact same Political MO conducted in western Nations for the last 20 years, which lead to the rise and fall of NAZI Germany. To counter the propaganda, it is like talking to a friend who is addicted to alcohol and is headed into the abyss. Logic and reason do not work.
With the course taken by the West, it is only a matter of time before we will face defeat like NAZI Germany in 1945.
Like Weimar Germany in the 1930s, The US and the EU will have to hit rock bottom before the majority of the population realize that they have been manipulated, and goes into action to make the changes needed.
The greatest threat is that the leadership of this transformation will be a new Hitler figure, disguised as our savior.
I would guess that a majority in the occupied parts of Europe during WW2 have a relative who collaborated with the Nazis, or even was a Nazi. I’ve heard quite a lot of petty excuses for what their relatives did. And that’s only from those who are brave enough to talk about it.
Also there’s a never ending fascination with Nazi Germany. As a kid I had friends who were extremely interested in weapons and wars of all kinds. But what they knew best and discussed most was always the Nazi weapons and the Nazi generals.
The Nazi propaganda from WW2 still works today. And much of it is reflected in the current US/NATO war propaganda.
I am not defending the European Nations.
The Fascist – Imperial – Masonic network was started in Europe.
It has existed in Europe for centuries in Lodges, behind closed doors.
But after WWII NAZI war Criminals was supported by the Vatican and the US Deep state to flee to and infiltrate America and Canada.
What we see today is the reemergence of NAZI-ism all over Europe, now joining force with the Neo-NAZIs of America and Canada.
The European Nations learned the consequences of NAZI-ism in the 1940s.
Today Americans are being warned against the rise of Fascism in America, by old Europeans.
Will you listen or will you face the same fate as NAZI Germany?
Absolutely true! A huge majority of people in the WEST will refuse to acknowledge the existence of the Azov Battalion… Regardless of their level of education, they will refuse to see any video posted by or confirming the ideology of the Banderites…
What should we expect for the future? More and more censorship in North America and Europe… Are we allowed to express ourselves? Are we allowed to think?
Am I allowed to react to your excellent comment?
White supremacy is the oldest and the worst disease on our planet.
Absolutely right! Just look around you ( regardless of where you live in North America or Europe)… Almost nobody will accept to even discuss or watch a video posted by the Azov Battalion.. These so-called nationalists are genuine white supremacists but the ignorant fools will not admit the facts…. Anybody can make a survey and will quickly realize only a small minority of the population will accept to just to take a look at the evidence.. Sad…
“Mark Dubowitz, chief executive of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington-based research institute, described the renewed Iran-Saudi ties resulting from Chinese mediation as ‘a lose, lose, lose for American interests'”
Can someone help me out ? Which democracy is Dubowitz defending here?
Fabulous Tucker interview with Redacted aired last night. Well worth your time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI9OdnyvQew
Agree, and his mention of Building 7 and the idea of building falling like that was that the realization that that event has increasing wider awareness.
I really wish that this grand unifying theory of government deception leading to every conspiracy since Remember the Maine would take a breather.
Ukraine has a direct line of cause and effect over a decade. It’s clear to anyone who bothers to really look.
Twin Towers had perfectly reasonable explanations as presented. Both by terrorist means, motive and opportunity and by the causes of building failure as presented, as it’s been hashed over by structural engineers ad nauseam. Save me the responses, I know them all.
Nothing about covid vaccines suggests to me a grand conspiracy to control the public as some would have you believe. To me it’s intent was more a clusterfuck than a coordinated response for nefarious ends, other than pushing profits and the like.
To tie these all into some grand unifying theory of big brotherdom does no justice to any of them. It just undermines them all in toto.
Give it a rest, you’re being manipulated into thinking you’re being manipulated in order to better manipulate you.
Yes, those are the techniques government trolls (that I know do exist) use to undermine your arguments. “Ah, they’re all conspiracy theories with no basis”, they’ll use to dismiss you as irrelevant to the masses at large.
Know what’s going on.
The evidence for a grand unifying theory is strong. Within the veritable blink of an eye just about every major country was firmly committed to lockdowns, “vaccines,” masking, and distancing. Not one of them deigned to honestly address the actual risks or to spend one minute discussing clinical trials. Ivermectin and HCQ were universally excluded from the treatment protocol, PCR cycles were universally goosed into hypersensitivity even to mouse dander, and ventilation was the order if the day.
Sputnik among others is a conventional binary vaccine. Is there a problem with that as well?
Well, other than being Russian of course. Can’t have that. The Earth’s axis would wobble out of control.
To understand what is going on with the world, first you must be briefed on who the controllers are. And it is not anyone you know by name or face.

You should watch Tucker Carlson on “Redacted” on YouTube – really fascinating !
I’m just wondering, intrigued even – how Tucker managed to have that perfect Amadeus laugh.
https://youtu.be/hc4OD1Xr3sU
Loved that movie. Come to think of it, more than the laugh reminds me of Tucker and Amadeus, the movie. God forbid he ever shares Mozart’s fate in the movie.
Emblematic of intellectual decline within the Contemporary Western Experience is the use of unimaginative, fairy tale terms to label those who are not liked at the present moment. Such bland names – racist, transphobic, pro-Putin. Soporific.
What happened to heavy handed accusations like – Cultural Marxist, Fifth Columnist, Historical Revisionist, Crypto-Fascist, Communist Fellow Traveller, Vanguard Party Revolutionary, Social Darwinist (a favourite of business elites who never read Darwin), Non-Thiestic Humanist (used to attack The Left but who remembers them) or Terrorist White Supremacist – an old favourite to be taught to kindergarten children so that will not be going away any time soon.

As a follow up, Doctorow’s latest essay on how phase one of Washington’s plan is to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian and phase two, to fight Russia to the last European, with an appeal to those with influence in Europe to finally stand up and be counted before the neocons (he points the finger at Nuland) manage to send us all to hell in their handbasket. https://gilbertdoctorow.com
Every time I read a piece like this, I am reminded of what Chris Hedges wrote in his book: America the Farewell Tour. Permanent lie is a major feature of a society in decay. When truth no longer matters, then all hope is lost.
Larry wrote “When you are lying to yourself about yourself you endanger yourself.”
On a lighter note I’m reminded about this great mind /s from India.
Watch and enjoy.!!

Superman was from a different planet. I think it was just a failure to communicate. What he might have said today: “There’s truth and justice and there’s the American way.”
Or that might have been Alfred E. Neuman’s line, had he not been packed off to Guantanamo’s political satire dungeon.
I would like to see Truth, Justice, AND the American Way come back.
Rending America’s fabric of lies? Is it possible?
No, of course not. Nobody profits off the truth.
Lloyd Austin since being corporate CEO at the Pentagon, has awarded Raytheon with over $30 billion in contracts.
And as I sit here typing this, I sh*t you not two United States of Lockheed Martin F35s just roared over my house at about 700 feet altitude.
Let’s remember that the Lockheed Martin Big Lie Corporate Motto is “We Never Forget Who We Are Working For.” Yep, they never forget, all right— for the “shareholders” and executive compensation and in concert with the rest of the MICIMATT to Fokker over the rest of us. Amazingly shameless – they say it right out loud, and nobody even recognizes the in-your-face chutzpah and irony.
“Nobody profits off the truth.”
Tucker Carlson seems to be. More people are growing tired of the BS, with the result being more are starting to tune into people who don’t feed them more BS.
The US indeed needs a new revolution. And not just the US. Canada, the UK, and the rest of the ‘Anglosphere’. I am not sure whether things were any better in the 60s and 70s. Back in the time of the Vietnam War when I was an aspiring journalist in SE Asia, I saw first hand the delusions and illusions of the time. The difference was that Americans at that time had skin in the game. It was the draft that made the difference. As time passed, the political and media classes got more adept at controlling “the narrative” and corporate America consolidated its power. Americans had skin in the game — but it was a very different game. This new game was about moving up in the world. The naive idealism of the 50s was replaced by either greed or complacency. And media are dominated by what you might call convenience store liberals, peddling pre-packaged “truths” to do to your brain what sugary snacks do to your liver.
No, the US cannot win a war against either Russia or China, for the reasons you state and a few others…. As I write here….
https://julianmacfarlane.substack.com/p/us-cannot-win-a-war-with-china-or
Nice Read. I’m convinced when dying starts its all over. We’ll have a personnel problem long before weapons issues. Americans don’t even say hi to one another, most hate their gov and elites…no way will they die in droves for them. draft or no draft, Vietnam r Korea could never happen again let alone death tolls a fight with someone like China or Russia would produce.
We are an expeditionary force for people that can’t shoo back much or use proxies like Ukraine.
Steve. I am ex US Army. My family was southern white trash for no better adjective. I was the first to finish college after the Army. Every man did a hitch. I don’t think we ever had a lifer. It was just in your DNA. And now? If the Wagner Group invaded New York City I would wear my Wagner PMC shirt grocery shopping. Fuck this country.
This is not the country I fought for. I won’t do the laundry list of reasons. None of which should surprise anyone. But you know the real doozy? It never was my country. This whole thing has been a Hollywood/CIA/NSA matrix fucking delusion of freedom.
I will fight no more forever. You fuck with me on my front lawn? I’ll kill you. I don’t die for rich people anymore.
What redpilled you ?
I am 63. And I was young and dumb. And I won’t lie. I enjoyed it. I wanted to kill a commie for Mommy. Hell, I went into police work many years later. I liked hunting men. I liked going into dark buildings with a gun in my hand. If you’ve never walked with a gun in your hand wondering if it’s you or him? It’s hard to describe.
But then I fucked up and grew a conscience. And started thinking about shit I did. And more importantly? For who? I was a stupid, homicidal teenager with anger issues. And they used me. And controlled me with Hollywood lies.
And you start reading. And realize the depth and timeline of the lies. So brother, it was not a single thing. It was a process. And I was stupid right up thru and past 9/11. I was at the fucking recruiter’s office with my service record where they laughed at me after the Towers went down.
I did some weapons instruction for contractors for a while. And we had some military contracts. We had Nasty Guard and Reserve getting some work with us before they sent them to the sandbox. And some of the kids had already been a time or two. Listening to them, and then some conversations at the Veterans Hospital sealed the deal.
I just hope I can save some kid from following my path. If I do nothing else, no matter how many people I alienate? I will call it a win.
Absolutely
I’m with you for the exact same reasons.
Have you seen Wagner’s recruitment video targeting Americans?
https://rumble.com/v27nsko-this-is-trolling-on-another-level.-video-from-wagner-pmc-for-recruitment-of.html
BTW, I don’t think it’s “trolling on another level”, or any level. It’s clearly directed at disillusioned American servicemen.
Of course, living in “rights of man” France I cannot access this on Rumble.
They needed a native American-English speaker. Guy’s accent is way off.
Curt we’re all dumb and full of piss in vinegar when young. My point is even kids these days are disaffected, we were not, and would do it for God and country and whatever. Even in this shitty economy we have massive recruitment issues (army about 25% short) and the wavers never been more lenient or bonuses as high. Imagine when the dying starts. Which is kinda scary if you think about it. Makes us very nuclear bias if we don’t have men and materials anymore. I have no doubt these neo-crazies would launch rather than be put on the docket for war crimes trials after losing.

My dad was a medic in the Army. He saw the blown up bodies but this was when he still believed in America.
Much later, he was bitter and disillusioned as he saw the US descend into a morass of lies and depravity.
He was not a dramatic man. He wouldn’t say three words if two would suffice. But a year or two before he died he told me to never under any circumstances allow my sons to be drafted into, in his words, the “meat grinder.” I said I wouldn’t.
He replied, “ No. Promise me right now. You will do anything and everything, whatever it takes, to keep that from happening.” His deadly serious gaze burned a hole through me like a laser beam.
I gave that promise. I meant it then and I for damn sure mean it now.
Curt,
Thanks for your heartfelt response. It’s my reckoning that it takes about 10 years to become fully redpilled.
First come the doubts, then questioning on one particular topic, then gradually one realizes the lies are systemic, widespread, and deliberate.
But it’s liberating to finally see clearly
Been there, done that. I always told people I was a mercenary, since it seemed clear that what I had been told I was fighting for was not the reality. But it was something I wanted to do and would not trade it for the world. But no more of that. Peaceful as the day is long, at peace with it all. But me and mine – not a line that would be good to cross.
Curt you are a true American and your military service was well intended—we were fighting the commies back then.
All who have served have demons to slay…kick their asses and enjoy your days brother
With everything that’s happened, have you ever considered the commies were right all along? Think about it.
I appreciate people’s patriotism even though the cia paperclip mind control nazis corrupted and hijacked it, including mine.
Bolshevism was not Russian. In fact Solzhenitsyn linked it to the Ashkenazis and those who hated Russians.
So USA was fighting commies, sure, but then Bolshevil failed in Soviet Union and came to the United States. Since the CIA paperclip nazis were also running things here, it made for an interesting alliance.
Freeland, Nuland, Vindman, where do you think these bloodlines came from? They aren’t from the Revolutionary founding colonies.
THey are from Eastern EUrope, many from Ukraine, aka Khazaria, aka Ashekanzi. Btw ashkenazis have less hebrew dna than Palestinians do.
So no, the marxists were never right. The capitalists also were not right. This is a fight between Gods and Satans, not governments or politics or economies.
> It never was my country. This whole thing has been a Hollywood/CIA/NSA matrix fucking delusion of freedom.
I know you feel that way now, but the real America is out there. We just have to rediscover and return to it. Even if we need Wagner’s help to do so.
“The US indeed needs a new revolution.”
Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy.
-Franz Kafka
At least for what it’s worth, over here in Russia the January 6th events are about as fairly covered as can be. Haven’t heard the rally members being demonized even once, and it’s always noted that not a single officer of the law died on the day of, though very suspicious deaths claimed some of them on following days. The “invisible hand” shooting Ashli Babbitt is shown just about every time the events are brought up (and since there came a name attached to that hand, that person sometimes comes up too). The continued extrajudicial detentions without any proper charges leveled, every time. (At least over here in evil Russia, even for mostly-political cases they always bother to find a legal explanation for arrests that’s rooted in something beyond mere politics, usually embezzlement or fraud.) The crazy witch hunt for those who were so much as participating in the rally (I can attest that nothing of the sort happened to people who were part of the colour revolution-attempt rallies in 2012 in Moscow, I’ve known one such myself, she wasn’t apprehended or even fined or anything). Reporters also often mention the strange passivity of the police within the Capitol and even them guiding people around (with footage), making it all feel staged from A to Z. Also the minimal damage done, and the sheer disparity between it and the overreaction it all gets from US powers-that-be.
Of course, this all being said in Russian sources would only convince Russia haters that it must be lies. But, well, Larry covered that problem himself aplenty, no need for me to say more.
I just hope me and my late-middle-age father won’t have to go pick up guns and repel US troops deluded by all the bullshit and lured to their doom to repeat the mistake of breaching the “do not march on Moscow” rule. He was raised to believe a semblance of world peace and a normal friendly coexistence were possible, back in the USSR; I was raised to believe we were all going to be friends within a few years with apparently no ideologies standing in the way. Those dreams may be broken and gone, but I still have friends and acquaintances over the net in the West and I don’t wish to have to play real-life deathmatch against them and theirs on the field. I do not fear the fight – surrender is impossible in a war of national survival, something the American culture never had to learn or comprehend – but I would be forever saddened and lament the tragedy as long as I live.
the “invisible hand” that very probably murdered ashli babbitt in cold blood while she stood perched in a window frame of the US capitol belonged to police officer lieutenant michael byrd.
to this day, lieutenant byrd has not faced any charges for his actions.
I have met many Russians in my travels. I have found Russian people to be warm, friendly and a joy to be around.
I at least know that it is one faction in Washington that has wormed their way into power, manipulates the press and puts out a narrative that only serves their own interests.
I know that the US is an occupied nation populated by masses of mind-raped useful idiots.
But rest assured that many of us do however know the truth, the problem we have is knowing who to trust. The secret police here make the East German STASI look like the St Anselm Boys Choir. The federal law enforcement agencies are captured and completely corrupted.
The normies here however still sit hypnotized in front of the lobotomy box in the living room. Many are too far gone, the propaganda is relentless. On most network TV shows Russians are always Mafia hit men or prostitutes.
The funny thing about the propaganda, once you see it, the Red Pill metaphor, it all starts to look transparently ridiculous.
The Carlson Revelations handed out Red Pills by the truckload.
The veil is lifting slowly, but these are still perilous times. The occupying forces may make a desperate attempt start the final war before they are ushered out.
But know this, for what its worth, not all of us here in the US are lobotomized sheep. How far that will go to forcing a change here, I don’t know.
For now, peace to you brother.
The absolute cheek of Pelosi and the entire DNC to call this a violent insurrection but supported, then stood and applauded the BONA FIDE violent fascist insurrectionists of the Maidan, bringing down the OSCE blue ribbon certified duly elected president of Ukraine.
You write like a native English speaker.
Well, maybe he is one.
Great piece, Larry. In a world of almost nonstop corporate and government bullshit and lies, it is incredibly bracing to get a lungful of fresh air. Thanks for this blog. I look to it daily.
There is the possibility that the Germans did not see what was not really there and that it was the world that was lied to. Shirer’s book is a good example of that if one took the time to critically analyse its claims. But that might open the door to a reality none of us wants to face.
Indeed. History is written by the victor. Let’s not dwell too much on Hamburg, Dresden, … Let’s put something else in the spotlights.
Front page news NYT 1933: “world-wide jewry declares war on Germany”. Calls for genocide of the Germans from FDRs pal Morgenthau.
The greatest lie of the last century is the one we are not allowed to question. Soon to be a crime in our country as well as the rest of the “winners” of WW2. Patton called it, and died for it.
Why is holocaust denial a crime in Russia? Five will get you ten the Russkis will go for resettlement of the Pale. Those child-trafficking Israelis will get some nice dachas along the Black Sea.
There are those who see the light here.
Until that big elephant in the room is called out, absolutely NOTHING will change.
Bravo
Larry,
From a technical perspective; this fellow seemed to be deliberately setting up the J6 Oath Keepers and now is taking the fall. He was apparently a leader of the color revolution in Belgrade 2000.

A man whose video inspired one of the main leaders of the Capitol riots emigrated to the United States soon after the 2020 election. The BBC has found that he and his wife continue to encourage political violence on their social media accounts, a trend that worries extremism experts.
So, the question then becomes – what’s in the top left corner of his paycheck?
Consumerism, ignorance fed by the MSM, and a blind faith in our so-called democracy make all this possible.
In the US but also in the other Western countries.
A scary sight for those of us who are awake.
Thanks Larry
In J M Greer’s geo-political novel “Twilight’s Last Gleaming” the strategist who plans China’s response to a U.S. attempt to usurp the Sino friendly African government who control a huge new oil field leased to the Chinese uses a peculiar weakness of American power holders; They do not believe they can lose, because the US has never really lost a war. Not like Vietnam and all that follow where they just fail to to win, but really losing so that you have to sue for peace and accept any terms even to get your troops home. So they will keep doubling down and won’t know they are losing until they have lost.
It’s hard to tell if an entity is applying that strategy against the USA, but they seem headed down that road in any case.
It is interesting that J M Greer predicted that the war would start in 2025. Top military leaders are predicting that same frame now.
The origins of this madness is here …
Education is Ignorance
Noam Chomsky
Excerpted from Class Warfare, 1995, pp. 19-23, 27-31
>>
… Sam Bowles and Herb Gintis, two economists, in their work on the American educational system some years back… pointed out that the educational system is divided into fragments. The part that’s directed toward working people and the general population is indeed designed to impose obedience. But the education for elites can’t quite do that. It has to allow creativity and independence. Otherwise they won’t be able to do their job of making money. You find the same thing in the press. That’s why I read the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times and Business Week. They just have to tell the truth. That’s a contradiction in the mainstream press, too. Take, say, the New York Times or the Washington Post. They have dual functions and they’re contradictory. One function is to subdue the great beast. But another function is to let their audience, which is an elite audience, gain a tolerably realistic picture of what’s going on in the world. Otherwise, they won’t be able to satisfy their own needs. That’s a contradiction that runs right through the educational system as well. It’s totally independent of another factor, namely just professional integrity, which a lot of people have: honesty, no matter what the external constraints are. That leads to various complexities. If you really look at the details of how the newspapers work, you find these contradictions and problems playing themselves out in complicated ways….

THIS is broken
That is why the madness is prevalent in the West
the origin is allowing psychopaths to get into positions of power
they have no conscience, cannot love others or care for them even if they wanted to due to their mental defects, but are very good actors, know how to gaslight their victims so to appear as victims even as they perpetuate the ugliest crimes the world has ever seen.
Especially if they come from a Psychopath Support Group masqueraded as a ‘culture’ as Blinken, Jewland, that tranny minister of JUSA ‘health’, Kosher Nostra Bankster Cartel, all the western MSM and all the CEOs of Democidal Pharma…
a solution is as simple as a good psychopath test/screening system for anyone in a position of power.
I subscribed to the Financial Times for some decades. Around 10 years ago, their divergence from reality became so grotesque that I stopped my subscription. In view of this, I beg to disagree. The “elites” are fed the same swill as the peasantry.
I subscribed to The Economist many years back. Then I woke up.
It truly was the age of innocence, this blurring of fantasy and reality. I thought Christopher Reeves was the perfect Superman.
And then he broke his neck in an equestrian accident and it seemed Goodness itself became quadriplegic with the ‘End of History’, ‘Clash of Civilisations’, War on Terror and other BS on offer to us by the neoliberal con artists and the neocon psychopaths.
Thankfully, another Superman has arisen, this time a real one named Vladimir Putin. I am hopeful again.
And the heart breaking apparent suicide of George Reeves, the Superman of my youth. How could it be?
That event started to dislodge the exceptionalism in me that this program and many others of the time (Gunsmoke, Combat, etc) seemed to instill in my age group.
Perfect conditioning for us by ’65, and the run-up to Indochina wars. What a ride.
Times they are a-changin’:
Under Chinese mediation, Saudi Arabia and Iran have reached an agreement to resume diplomatic relations, Beijing, March 10, 2023
“ The US’ humiliating exclusion from the centre stage of West Asian politics constitutes a “Suez moment” for the superpower, comparable to the crisis experienced by the UK in 1956, which obliged the British to sense that their imperial project had reached a dead end and the old way of doing things—whipping weaker nations into line as ostensible obligations of global leadership —was no longer going to work and would only lead to disastrous reckoning.
“The stunning part here is the sheer brain power and intellectual resources and ‘soft power’ that China has brought into play to outwit the US. The US has at least 30 military bases in West Asia — five in Saudi Arabia alone — but it has lost the mantle of leadership. Come to think of it, Saudi Arabia, Iran and China made their landmark announcement on the very same day Xi Jinping got elected for a third term as president. ”

As I’ve written before, I am an immigrant (legal), living in the US for the past 46 years.
I used to think that Americans were being bamboozled by their leaders, but that given the truth, would choose and stand for truth and justice instead… not anymore.
When I watch congressional hearings on all the outrage that the present administration is perpetrating on its citizens and how it is presiding over the total impoverishment of its once thriving middle class, I think, just for a fleeting moment, “wow, some people are trying to correct all the wrongs that are going on in government…
Then I look across the street from my house and see how my neighbors seem to dutifully following their criminal leaders’ agenda, going about their routine, eating their daily dose of cabbage and potato soup, living in a little cracker box house, driving their little Mr. Bean car and cheering JB as a gift from the gods, who is saving the planet from extinction… I realize that America LOVES to be lied right into oblivion.
Right.
Like catching a child in a flat out lie and they STILL deny it!
So many lies are being exposed like J6, Covid, Nordstream, Ukraine and yet they all sit there in Congress and try to change the story: “What proof do you have that you are a REAL journalist….Rolling Stone LIAR!!”
Then they try telling sort of the truth: “Covid probably originated from a lab leak!” Of course they “imply” it was the Wuhan Biosecurity Level 4 Lab without mentioning the equally plausible possibility of Fort Detrick Lab in Maryland being the source. (It was suspiciously closed for a few months in September 2019).
They are STILL making some college students get jabbed to attend in-person teaching!
Seymour Hersch has busted Joe Biden on Nordstream with more info. coming. The nerve they have to float the yacht caper! Then when all the memes pop up on the “Minnow” blowing up the pipeline they try the “Get Smart” line “Would you believe it was a Greek oil tanker?!”
Seriously. Whatever PR firm is advising Biden and his CIA/State Department fools should be deep-sixed. (Not to encourage them to get better liars!).
Even though it would end up with many going to prison (or worse…federal death penalty), here is a radical idea for Biden and Co. plus Congress and the MSM:
Try telling the TRUTH for a change!
There is an old saw about some people would rather stahd on their head and lie than on their feet and tell the truth. They would rather lie even when the truth might actually make them look less idiotic.
But it sadly won’t lead to any prosecutions or death penalties, a resignation at best. Later to be lauded posthumously, respect the office, right?
I say there is no penalty too severe for such a betrayal, THAT is how you actually respect the office. Just like pretending that election fraud never happened, that doesn’t safeguard confidence, it betrays it.
But the people, the mid raped masses of hypnotyized sheep don’t really want the truth, as Col Jessup (A Few Good Men) famously said, “You can’t handle the truth.”
Someone posted the link to an interview by Liu Xin to Seymour Hersh for CGTN, at Martyanov´s…

The Christian thinker, Ivan Illich, put it this way in Latin: “mysterium iniquitatis” the mystery of evil – or the truth can not be revealed to us without the depth of evil also being seen. So, it may be an upside down Orwellian propaganda world but for the first time in centuries, if ever, we are able to see the hands of the puppet masters that pull the strings on our lives. This does not mean that revelation is available to us only in an inverted, upside down form. But it has burst out into the open with the series of continuous hoaxes being perpetrated on us apparently by those holding duel citizenship in other countries that control our government, schools, medical system, professions and virtually all churches with the self contradiction that George Orwell called “judeo-Christianism”. It might previously have been a taken-for-granted world where we thought freedom and democracy reigned, but we were also blind. Now is perhaps the best time in world history for clear sightedness.
‘But it has burst out into the open with the series of continuous hoaxes being perpetrated on us apparently by those holding duel citizenship in other countries that control our government, schools, medical system, professions and virtually all churches with the self contradiction that George Orwell called “judeo-Christianism”.’
Add banking and the media to the list. It is not hard to identify who these people are but no public figure dares to do so.
People will have to believe that truth and justice transcend group identity if we are to restore them. It’s possible, but we’ve reached a point where truth and justice are no longer taught values, and furthermore powerful, monied interests want to keep us divided.
Powerful, monied interests both internal and external to Germany similarly pushed for the rise of fascism (and communism).
If you want to fight the rot, studying these interests is more important than studying their lies. Know thy enemy. The neocons are big players, but they’re not pulling the strings. Joe Biden isn’t a mastermind. Even Soros is really only a paymaster. The web is far more extensive, in far more nations than just the US and in every important aspect of society
Regarding J6 not only did no police officer die that day, but Capitol Police murdered two unarmed and unresistant citizens, one by gunshot and one beaten to death by a police baton.
History teaches us that revolutions are never made by the people but by a resolute minority. Curzío Malaparte, an expert in changing the trenches, wrote it very well in his book Techniques of a coup. My favorite example is that of Troksky when he stood up in the foreign ministry and said, now I am the boss before all the officials who didn’t even know him… and he was ultimately the boss after purging many.
Grandfather was a pilot in Europe during WWII. Regular Army, he was in the fight for four years, right up to VE Day. He later tried to understand why the German people followed their leaders into the abyss, and this led him, inevitably, to study propaganda. And I read his books growing up…
For years, I wondered what it must have been like in pre-war Germany, especially for anyone who dissented… and now, I know.
In particular, I’d like to recommend two books found in his library, both by the same author, Eric Hoffer:
The True Believer and The Passionate State of Mind
The only thing that has changed is the technology used to propagate their narratives. Human nature, of both our leaders and their followers, has not.
I’m spending the weekend with good friends I haven’t seen for 18 months. They are intelligent well educated people holding down serious jobs. They are beginning to question the whole woke business. They have late stage TDS. They believe deeply that Russia is the new Third Reich but with a third world industrial base and military. China produces nothing but cheap crap (they all use Apple products exclusively) If you try to gently present a more balanced perspective, they look at me in a concerned way, they are after all good friends. I have a headache.
The vast majority of humans are un-self-aware dimwits, unfortunately.
It takes about a decade for a normie to be redpilled. In the beginning all one can do is ( very gently ) plant a tiny seed of doubt.
It took a lot longer than that for me. Funnily it was the events in Ukraine in 2014 that pushed me irreversibly over the line. Absolutely no connection with what was happening to what was being reported.
A great deal of preparatory stuff happened before that. Travelling widely across the world was a very solid foundation.
Madeline Albright’s “half a million dead children was a price worth paying ”
Plus the same old liars telling the same old lies.
So, why do you consider them to be ‘well educated’?
In the UK the famously independent (sic) BBC has just shot it’s self by sacking one of their most popular presenters because of comments he made about the government. Gary Linaker, soccer star was sacked for breaching the corporations neutrality policy (criticizing government policy)
The Governor of the BBC is a political appointee chosen by the government of the day. The Director General who sets the BBC’s neutrality policy is independent. Guess who chooses the DG, why the Governor of course.
A large part of the population is up in arms about the sacking of Linaker and many of his equally high profile colleagues have walked out in support of him. The population is furious and it looks like both the Governor and the DG will have to fall on their swords.
Does this make the majority of the population question BBC policy about anything else, support for Ukraine for example?
No of course not for to quote the legendry Liverpool manager Bill Shankly
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”
The end result, the population in general believes the BBC is trustworthy and independent. What happened to once a liar, always a liar?
Americans should look to Britain to see how far they will fall if they don’t snap out of it.
I would guess it’s too late.
I watched a doco about the Assad family on the BBC recently.
5 minutes in and there was a clip of the ritual strangling of puppies in a stadium. Apparently to toughen up soldiers in the elite units.
The footage, which could have been from any country, had clearly been inserted as a psyop to push the animal loving Brits into supporting the Jihadi terror groups the British were busy training in Jordan/Turkey etc.
Of course this stuff is aired all over the Anglosphere, and collective West, and taken as fact by large swathes of viewers who still believe the BBC to be a news provider, rather than a propaganda outfit.
Most British people bought hook line and sinker into the BBC’s absurd Salisbury, Skripal caper too.
“I saw it on the BBC. It must be true” 🤔
British Bullshit Corporation. ‘Nuff said.
You are wrong. This is a staged farce.
BBC insisted its high-paid presenters use a Ltd Company structure to save BBC the costs of Employment such as Sick Pay or Social Security Taxes.
The Revenue under the IR35 investigations of “fake self-employment” scams has pursued many “celebrities” for tax evasion………the case hinges on whether they are really “self-employed” or subject the. employer mandates and discipline. Lineker owes the Revenue potentially £5 million in tax arrears.
He is using Twitter to show he cannot be disciplined by BBC as a contractor and therefore he is independent. If BBC disciplines him he is an “employee’ and HMRC nails him.
On the other hand the real court test will be if Lineker had tweeted the polar opposite of what he in fact said, would BBC have not fired him ?
There are serious questions about a broadcaster funded by taxpayers and impartiality…….indeed OFCOM requires ALL broadcasters in UK to be balanced and not to be too polemical.
There is a view the BBC should lose its licence fee and its radio stations and fund itself from advertising or subscription – whether it would raise £5 billion a year this way is unclear. German State TV charges €18/month on every household whether or not they own a TV for State- Media which carries advertising and pays generous pensions of €20,000/month to top executives………and the German Government and Intelligence Services (BND) are contracting presenters for “Media advice” directly on public payroll……
What you have described here has been identified as the Gell-Mann amnesia effect:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/65213-briefly-stated-the-gell-mann-amnesia-effect-is-as-follows-you
Coined by Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton after his friend, the physicist, Murray Gell-Mann:
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
And there’s not a day goes by without encountering this in everyday life. In which, for some strange quirk of human nature, there exists a complete lack of gorm (gormless, or absence of gumption in people) which just cannot or will not join the dots.
The most stark manifestation I recall was the 1984-85 UK Miners Strike where striking miners complained bitterly at the Corporate State and Corporate media propaganda vilification of them yet would, as Crichton observes, amplify that same vilification fed to them from the same sources when it came to other issues – immigrants; officially designated enemies; the public service ethos and so on.
The issue of former England striker and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker and the BBC provides a relevant case study. As with just about every other organisation across the West the BBC operates on the contractor model. Lineker, along with other BBC presenters such as the Dimbleby’s whose private company produces the TV show ‘Question Time’ and radio show ‘Any Questions’, is not employed by the BBC but is freelance under contract.
What has occurred cannot be neatly shoved in a silo limited to “BBC sack’s presenter over a tweet” simply because there are so many other connecting dots to wider issues operating beyond such simple pigeon holing.
Lineker got into hot water over an observation concerning the UK Government rhetoric in regards refugees seeking asylum in the UK crossing the English Channel sea lanes – some of the busiest in the world – in small boats from France. Comparing that rhetoric with the kind of rhetoric which demonises and scapegoats others, in well worn divide and rule style, with that of 1930’s Germany.
As with so many other issues facts such as incompetence in processing formal applications; the far lower numbers involved compared to both the rest of the European mainland and previous years; and the root cause driving this migration issue gets lost in the simplified rhetoric and lies of both omission and commission coming from the Corporate State and Corporate media.
Much like Larry describes in regards the Ukraine conflict. A conflict which supplies its own angle on this matter over Lineker’s comment about Government rhetoric and the policies which emanate from that rhetoric. Where Ukrainian refugees are welcomed but refugees fleeing the failed States across North Africa and the Middle East/West Asia are not.
Which brings us back to the Gell-Mann amnesia effect because the States and societies from which many of these people are fleeing are the way they are, just like in Ukraine, as a direct result of deliberate acts and policies of Western elites in Governments. Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Afghanistan etc did not bomb themselves back into the Stone Age. That was our Governments, whatever colour rosette they had pinned to their chests.
What’s interesting is the way this seems to be panning out in PR terms. With the both the UK Government and what is termed The Loyal (to whom and what?) Opposition both in disarray.
The Government in terms of the way its Minister responsible has declared the European Convention of human rights is incompatible with “British Values (whose definition?) is essentially being told “if one of those values is about taking responsibility for your own actions than stop trying to wash your hands of those responsibilities when people are fleeing the results of those actions.2
The ‘Loyal Opposition so called “Labour” Party in terms of the way it is flip flopping about. Its hierarchy spent most of Thursday this week touring the TV and radio studios siding with the Government against Lineker over the wider issue of immigration policy only to do a cynical 180 degree turn on Friday when they saw which way the wind was blowing.
To the point that even the gatekeeper of the extreme political center, the Guardian newspaper, was moved to print an article on Saturday that the Public in the UK know more about where some minor TC celebrity stands on the issue than they do the Official Loyal Opposition.
Its fascinating to watch how this is developing.
Well its certainly been an interesting demonstration of the Gell-Mann effect on display so far.
With focus directed not on the core of the issue but of who said what. and when and what side of some line some celebrity stood.
Some simple questions to get back on track to the actual issue at the core of this [spoiler: its not about some celebrity or other]:
– Is taking responsibility for ones actions, not just individually but collectively, a “British”* value or not?
– Which countries have interfered in various ways – from the economic to the military and everything in between – to create a situation so bad across the Middle East/West Asia and North Africa (and beyond) that a refugee crisis exists?
Its not bleedin’ quantum mechanics. If anyone is serious about claiming to stand for “British”* values then take the responsibility which comes with that position rather than supporting whichever colour rosette is nominally running a policy which creates this kind of problem and then washing ones hands when the inevitable consequences come home to roost.
Its not credible to try and have it both ways. Avoiding and clouding the issue by blaming some celebrity, those who are desperate and the real victims here, or trying desperately to reframe the issue is simply another manifestation of the same woke** emoting.
In fact they are both cut from the same cloth. Such a position and approach does nothing to resolve anything because taking such a position and approach point blank refuses to do the first thing required to resolve any problem situation.
Which is to identify what the problem is and what its causes are. As Einstein observed; ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insane’.
* This term ‘British’ values seems odd in that there is often an unspoken and implicit assumption that it is somehow ‘unique’ compared to say every other Country. When in fact drilling down to identify what those ‘unique’ to oneself (very woke/self-id) values are more often than not reveals the said ‘value’ to be a common human value not the unique property of any one individual or nation.
** Again, looking at what process is taking place the political right/extreme center have been at this woke business a lot longer than the political left. And are a lot better at hiding and deflecting that fact.
I am not sure if you are in support of Linnekar or against in your comment. Just to advise that during the BREXIT debate he was out and out in favour of the REMAIN side – ie stay within the EU. When fishermen demonstrated in favour of LEAVE, Linekar referred to them as scum. I cannot find the article reporting this, I just remember it happening.
Linnekar is not speaking up for those with no voice. He is speaking up for the No Borders mob.
Well he does have 4 O-Levels………….
I still question whether he would enjoy support if he had said the exact opposite of what he tweeted ?
If there is a principle at stake it should apply if he had stated the precise opposite of what he said…….
Lineker is a globohomo supporting bucket of shit. He deserves to be sacked and driven from the public sphere, “cancelled” as it were.
“the population in general believes the BBC is trustworthy and independent”
No, they don’t, which is why a large part of the population is happy that Lineker got the boot and his fellow Woketard colleagues left with him, because Britons know the BBC is a Woketard disaster and hopefully this signals it’s beginning to collapse.
The American people will think what the talking heads on their tribal television channel, be it CNN or Faux, order them to think. Facts have nothing to do with it.
“I suppose it is like having a friend who is addicted to narcotics or alcohol and is headed towards a tragic end. Logic and reason do not work. That person or that country has to hit rock bottom and come to the realization that a change is needed.”
I’m sorry, but no.
This is not a situation akin to an addict winding up in the gutter and finally seeing the light. This is a situation akin to a suicide cult. The neocons/deep state (or whatever you want to call them) are in an unholy religious fervor. It does not allow them to entertain any evidence contrary to their pronouncements. We are witnessing Jonestown on a national scale.
Whatever the cult utters is the only reality there is. Whatever they declare, no matter how absurd, is duly printed by their fellows in what once upon a time was a national news media that had at least some members with a modicum of integrity.
No more.
They’ve all drunk the Kool-Aid. Those few who’ve dissented are mercilessly attacked.
It was frightening watching these insane fanatics vilify the real journalists who wrote about the Twitter files, which exposed the vast “propaganda-industrial complex” designed by the cult to destroy any opposition to whatever their party line du jour might be.
When we find ourselves in a country whose leaders, businesses and universities declare that men can become women and even allows such insanity to get to the point where children are being openly mutilated and men are celebrated for competing in women’s sports, you know that we’re no longer in Kansas.
There is no way back from where we are now.
Yes, there are many of us who haven’t donned the cult robes, with some in various positions of power, but the pushback against the fanatics is still disorganized and may be too little too late.
We are in the grip of what can only be called sheer madness. I think of the scene in the movie ‘Downfall’, where Hitler is in his bunker with his minions issuing orders to non-existent armies while those who know the game is up are drinking themselves into oblivion or trying to escape with whatever loot they can carry.
It is perhaps the hand of God showing itself when we see that in both the crushing of the Nazis in WWII and in the present descent into the bunker of hell that it is the Russians who have been fated to drive the fascists there. The difference this time is our murderous, insane leadership has its hand on thousands of nuclear weapons. With a declared credo of “full spectrum dominance” over the planet – indeed the entire universe – that means they will never accept defeat.
Never. Not ever. Nope. Ain’t gonna happen.
What that means is unless God himself intervenes, the words of Sarah Conner in Terminator 2: Judgment Day will become reality –
“Anybody not wearing two-million sunblock is gonna have a bad day.”
“There is no way back from where we are now.”
This can be seen in the fanatical way in which the Empire desperately seeks to derail the efforts of China’s BRI and Russia’s Eurasian project both for a multipolar economy.
Theirs is no way possible way the U.S. can maintain its unipolar rules based order. There are just too many nations quickly forming a new non Western alternative.
Along with the renewed agreements between KSA and Iran comes several other nations who seek refugee from the almighty dollar.
The Big Top is being dismantled right before our eyes the current ringling circus show of clowns in DC made sure of it.
Excellent comment Juan. I absolutely share your pessimism.
Are there examples in history when revolutions immediately brought happiness and prosperity to the people, without subsequent civil war, suffering and death of many millions?
Moreover, revolutions and subsequent civil wars are not complete without foreign invasion – the country is literally torn apart.
The revolution in Russia in 1917 took place in 2 stages, the leaders were armed with a powerful and attractive ideology for the broad masses of the population (the ideas of goodness, justice, equality, fraternity) and the very truth in the narrative that everyone here advocates, but was accompanied by such upheavals that and you do not wish the enemy, and actually led to the death of a powerful state, which did not recover even after 100 years.
Immediate happiness is not a reasonable question given that revolutions tend to be bloody – near civil war affairs. The US revolution worked out in that the US was then able to keep the fruits of its labor, but it helped having land to (violently) acquire.
In any case, what do you mean by revolution? Was crossing the rubicon a revolution? Was the collapse of the Ming Dynasty a revolution?
“what do you mean by revolution?”
The most prevalent practice is rotation around a fixed point.
Great insightful comment Larry.
How naïve we all were in the old days of our youth when all we had to inform us was mainstream media propaganda and no independent internet commentaries like Sonar21. I shudder to remember the crap I believed without question back then.
But as you point out the ‘Superman’ myth still persists and is believed by the vast majority of population – naïve goofballs who refuse to question anything but the official bink they are spoonfed.
The parallels with Nazi Germany and the German people back then are identical to behaviour and mentality of the vast majority of people in America, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and EU nations today.
What is most astonishing is how the German people are once again treading that path to hell – I would have thought they would be last people on earth who could be led down that path again – but no they are lining up for another serving with the same crazed enthusiasm.
Of course the deep state Neocon Nazis plan to create a hyperinflationary social collapse, like they did in Weimar, which is how they finally managed to induce the German people into unwavering blind obedience once they offered a solution that put food back on German tables.
People have no idea of the horrors they plan to unleash in the near future across America, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and EU nations. Then watch the people rolling over and doing the goosestepping circus tricks like they were trained to do with terror lockdown Covid campaign.
Much worse is on the way so be prepared.
The old WW11 song by Spike Jones and His City Slickers seems once again very topical. I read that upon hearing this song Hitler put Spike Jones on a death list (and where has that happened again? – Oh that’s right the Ukraine Zelensky death lists which has lots of American truth tellers listed on it).
The song is a 1min 43 sec old clip on YouTube and I have copied the lyrics below
Der Fuehrer’s Face by Spike Jones

Song lyrics by Spike Jones and His City Slickers
When der fuehrer says we is de master race
We heil heil right in der fueher’s face
Not to love der fuehrer is a great disgrace
So we heil heil right in der fuehrer’s face
When Herr Goebbels says we own the world and space
We heil heil right in Herr Goebbels’ face
When Herr Goring says they’ll never bomb this place
We heil heil right in Herr Goring’s face
Are we not he supermen Aryan pure supermen
Ja we are the supermen (super duper supermen)
Is this Nazi land so good
Would you leave it if you could
Ja this Nazi land is good
We would leave it if we could
We bring the world to order
Heil Hitler’s world to order
Everyone of foreign race
Will love der fuehrer’s face
When we bring to the world this order
When der fuehrer says we is de master race
We heil heil right in der fueher’s face
Not to love der fuehrer is a great disgrace
So we heil heil right in der fuehrer’s face
When der fuehrer says we is de master race
We heil heil right in der fueher’s face
Not to love der fuehrer is a great disgrace
So we heil heil right in der fuehrer’s face
See what I wrote further down: The Nazis were flattering the Germans. Selling them dreams of omnipotence, talking about “Vorsehung”, as if it’s the destination for Germany to lead the world.
But: I asked my grandma about the time between 1933 and 1945. Her answer was simple: Women did not care about politics. It was not their business to make political discussions. And they anyway had no chance other than risking jail if they had spoken against Hitler.
A mixture of fear and don’t care.
Unfortunately the pathological liars hold all the power in the United States.
Assuming that the objective is to restore the Republic as a whole with no secessions, the only way to reverse the situation is to remove the pathological liars and replace them with a group of patriots, who want to restore the Republic.
A monumental task. The rot in America is so bad, that it’s hard to see how it can be fixed.
The only options I can see are a massive and violent revolution by the citizens and elements of the military, or the inevitable collapse of the entire American system with such humiliation and defeat, that a total reset is required.
Right now the trajectory is clear – American collapse, on both a domestic and geopolitical level, is accelerating. This is a disaster, and America is headed towards oblivion.
You are correct.
It is almost impossible to find anyone I know who will have an intelligent conversation about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. On more than one occasion I have been called names for even suggesting that Russia might have a case for the SMO. I was called a communist, a Putin lover among other things. Usually though they don’t want to talk about it. It is as if they know that they have been deceived by propaganda yet they can’t face the facts.
I have met one person who agreed with me that Russia was justified. He said he didn’t know anything about it when the SMO started, so he researched the facts; going right back to to the promise George Bush and Baker made to Gorby, before making up his mind. Which is what I did.
It is a very lonely place to be, because the virtually universal belief in the US propaganda makes me feel like a Martian who has crash landed in a kindergarten.
Don’t worry buddy, you’re not alone. And you’ll have a very important role to play, once the inevitable collapse happens and your friends and loved ones require answers. Be ready.
” Usually though they don’t want to talk about it. It is as if they know that they have been deceived by propaganda yet they can’t face the facts. ”
And so it is for the other great current lie (the scamdemic) and the attendant injectable lethal experimental bioweapons.
Here is the backbone of lies running the US hegemonic commercial war on the world.
The Straussian connection.

Who is going to put a crimp in their plans?
“…The German people were deluged with lies and, rather than push back and demand truth, succumbed to those lies. ”
as they still do even today
“RENDING AMERICA’S FABRIC OF LIES”
Some would say that the foundations and bookends of “America’s” lies are that they are “America” that Mr. Simon, not Mr. Bolivar, walked off to find after telling Cathy I’m lost.
“We know they are lying,
they know they are lying,
they know we know they are lying,
we know they know we know they are lying,
and still they continue to lie,
and we keep pretending to believe them.”
– Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“The propaganda”
Focus on a detail is a mode of obfuscation of a “whole”.
The “whole” is communication not restricted to pledging alleigance to the wall but including much of custom and practice.
Hence why the specifications of MKUltra were not fit for purpose.
Fine essay. Some very fine posts too!
It’s a gradual process…empires of the American type, like Rome, uses vice, promotes vice, as a method of control of compradors, Quislings…vice and violence, blackmail, murder…and of course the lie is a foundational feature in matters of vice, eh?

“The German people were deluged with lies and, rather than push back and demand truth, succumbed to those lies. I fear that same dynamic is at play now in the United States and in Europe. At some point, the lies will come crashing down”
The tipping point, the critical mass become the fundamental elements of all social and political transformations, don’t they?
Germany went through a deliberately man-made existencial crisis after the war – considering the hidden agenda of the banking and industrial oligarchy in the US, the UK and Germany itself (no theories but documentary evidence written down by several researchers over the years)
The population was eventually cornered into a corral of two ideas, namely, communism (German social democracy soon became a lame duck) and nazism. (The fiendish manipulators of society choose extreme ideas as their tools por a purpose: once an existencial crisis is created people tend to follow a radical idea as the most promising solution)
German communism was tough and combative but was up against the media and the oligarchy, the army and the police, while the masses of workers were never wholeheartedly behind its ideas for their country – many workers followed the nazis’ siren song of their initial socialistic veneer; remarkably, Ernst Röhm and the SA would have possibly reached an accommodation with the communists, since they were true believers in the “socialist” element of their party’s name and very much hated the oligarchy.
German nazism was equally tough and combative – and much more murderous – and had the sources of power in the land behind it. It is noticeable however that their election results never reached a majority vote until 1933 – when the crisis had been made critical – and could only reach power with the help of the Catholic party, before they did away with the Constitution and all other parties later that year.
The tipping point? When the social, political and economic crisis pushed a substantial part of the population to choose the best – or les evil – radical solution on display.
The critical mass? When that substantial portion of the population – and never a majority – forced a resolution upon the whole country.
Once in power, and given their ruthless and murderous nature, the nazis made the whole population acquiesce to all of their policies. It was too late then.
The whole of this process was an entire manipulation of the powers that be. They created the circumstances and propped up their agent and agency from beginning to end.
Isn’t the tipping point in the west close at hand? A war against Russia, together with a deliberately self-inflicted social and economic meltdown, would give the demonic oligarchical mafia the radical crisis they so crave. It may not at this time – because they are not militarily prepared – but such gang of fiends is surely hell-bent on bringing it to pass in the foreseeable future.
This short extract provides some relevant observations:

Biden needs to be indicted for Nordstream. And all his henchmen and henchwomen who rode in with him.
Seymour Hersch has more information coming to tighten the noose.
I think he is 86. I hope he stays in good health and has a “dead man’s drop” prepared just in case.
Most vibrant 86 yr old I’ve ever seen in action.
Dear Larry,
greetings from Germany!
I think the American people did their very best to pull the plug of the swamp (by voting for Trump) – but it did’nt work.
In Germany, the NSDAP fell short of an absolute majority in 1933 – although the situation for the people was very bleak, propaganda was huge and the parliament burned down before.
That did’nt stop them – and if once established there is little the people can do (against police, courts, intelligence, media, etc.)
You cannot compare to today – situation is not so desperate. But I’m afraid to get a fresh start the old system has to collapse completely.
We’re working on it.

“But I’m afraid to get a fresh start the old system has to collapse completely.”
I think it is exaaaaaactly the opposite of what you think: voting for Trump would help to reach the collapse faster.
I really want that he can take part in the next elections, and wins.
“… voting for Trump would help to reach the collapse faster …”
Mr. Trump is not the only one who “can take part in the next elections” and bring the US to its knees:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vei_18YcC6E
Yes, that was the now incumbent US President Mr. Joseph R. Biden Jr. in his prime …
I agree with you, and with Helm ab zum Gebet. We voted for Trump to repair our country in 2016. However, it has become clear that it was already dead and we just had not realized it yet.
Sometimes when things break, they just cannot be repaired and must be replaced. However, for us it is not just that our country is dead but that it has been replaced by an odious empire of lies, usury, and child sexual mutilation. The empire has to vanish into history before we can replace the 1rst American Republic with a 2nd (avoiding the many 20/20 hindsight mistakes of the first).
Pres. Trump’s 2024 run is probably the last chance of our ruling class to pull its collective head out of its collective rectum and reform, but they will probably cheat like hell again, which will hasten their end. Moreover, our ruling class is multicultural and is riven with the same animosities that afflict our general population, perhaps even more. Unlike when we had a WASP ruling class during the late 19th century which was capable of reforms in response to the Robber Barons (alas they didn’t last long), I don’t think the current multicultural ruling class could agree on reform details even if they all agreed it was necessary. They are all thieves, and know very well if they limit their thieving to sustainable levels, no other faction could be trusted to do the same.

People in the main are willingly seduced by Evil. It is a liberating experience to be freed from constraint, given licence to pursue own agendas, sanctify what was considered profane.
It is human nature. It used to be called The Fall of Man. It used to be that the Elect would strive to be “good” in a world of “evil” and try to be superior moral beings. The society transformed from one where children were baptised within three days lest infant mortality take them prematurely unbaptised.
Child funerals were once commonplace and short lives – changes to both gave a sense of longevity being the divinity of self; the elevation of Self-Actualisation to Eternal Life…………
Society changed – credit expansion showered material wealth unrelated to individual saving or effort. People seemed randomly to be famous and ostentatiously rich without talent, or education, or trade, and without entrepreneurship – blessed by ?
A system of values became debased. It became the Illusion not the Fact.
NO other culture in history has elevated Show Business to the status it enjoys in USA. NO other society has ever created places like Hollywood, Burbank or Las Vegas with such an all-encompassing reach and rendered Fantasy on a par with Reality.
It used to be Vance Packard and Madison Avenue, but that still has a fount from which it all springs – now it is impregnated in the culture – Facebook permits the talentless to perform, Twitter allows the moronic to proclaim, and never before in history have the uninformed had such an ability to drown out the educated
“The Superman character emerged in a time of ” fear written by two two Jewish adolescents in Brooklyn in 1939 in hope of warding off evil spirits, whilst Mr. Strauss and his descendents have tried to create supermen to date also to ward off evil spirits.
Supermen don’t exist, whilst attempts at creating supermen are functions of fears and insecurities.

Not all from the Pale of Settlement were romantics particularly some disciples of Mr. Jabotinsky.
However the current non-romantics came originally from the Pale of Settlement via “The United States of America”after a generational delay to join some from Wolyn, Galicia and elsewhere through Likuding.
Some are of the view that Massada is better left in the “history” books not to be repeated, as illustrated by The Transfer Agreement of 1933 and Mr. Ben Gurion agreeing to accept reparations from Mr. Adenauer partly financed from gold repatriated from Switzerland contain some dental materials to facilitate the Wirtschaftwunder, whilst some not restricted to Mr. Abrams are presently engaging in “unbridled naughtiness” in disagreement.
‘We all have an inner Sugihara’
…
And Cooper is drawn to what she takes to be the simplicity of Sugihara’s story—the samurai notion of bushido.
“In a sense, what he did was very simple. He tuned out the noise. He tuned out the chaos, and just listened to his simple soul and did what was right,” she said. “We all have an inner Sugihara. You have to listen. You have to do what’s right. It’s not difficult, really. The circumstances might be difficult, but it’s not difficult to know what’s right. We all know what is right.”

When you sell dreams, you will have a lot of followers. Hitler sold the dream of you belonging to a superior race.
What dreams are sold today from Biden etc.?
And killing dreams makes people unhappy. So, what are you expecting?
“So, what are you expecting?”
Good question to the point.
But no one answered, no one tried to answer – a reason to wonder if the question is not uncomfortable.
It seems to me that now all the peoples of the world have one desire as a priority – to avoid a nuclear war of mutual destruction.
The search for truth, the desire for truthful coverage of events is only a means. Everyone has their own truth.
(I found that the Russian words “pravda” and “istina”, which have a different meaning in nuances, are translated in the same way into English – with one word “truth”. The limited understanding is already manifested in ignorance of languages).
“The limited understanding is already manifested in ignorance of languages).”
No, in the belief that translation is an option when only interpretation is, as you illustrate by:
“(I found that the Russian words “pravda” and “istina”, which have a different meaning in nuances, are translated in the same way into English – with one word “truth”.”
and why simultaneous interpreters normally come in teams of 3, since productivity in simultaneous interpretation is normally only sustained in 20 minute tranches which may have lain outside your experiences.
Perhaps you remember the MH17 meeting in Moscow with Mr. Gerasimov and associates ? – good Dutch, good Indonesian, good Malay, not so good English.
Also not good Spanish, as tested in the video transmission of the Speech to the Federal Assembly by V.V.Putin…

That’s the “American” pie available in many outlets.
See the good guys in the white hats at your GM dealership.
“Also not good Spanish”
The question is why in respect of MH17 occurrences.
1. Russians are believed to never smile.
2. Translation is never an option only interpretation.
3. Why interpret whenpart of the audience had their own interpretation before the meeting started.
4. Pay due respect to the families of most of the “passengers” not the potential perpetrators.
“I hope you can find an interpreter…”
Interpreting in its various multi-polar presentations is always an option collectively, since censoring which destroys communication has not been uni-polarly practiced since 1969, except in Wikipedia and other locations which consequently have their own interpretations :

Thanks for the response. I just wanted to say that we, who endeavour for truth, have to offer something better than those nice lies that our politicians preach.
Truth may be hard to stand.
You know that song tell me sweet little lies? Fleetwood Mac.
@Roland
Unfortunately I don’t know this song. But I can guess about its content, since the lines of the poem are popular among Russians: “Ah, it’s not difficult to deceive me – I myself am glad to be deceived.”
I understood what your question was. The question is not difficult to understand. It is impossible to answer it in such a way that everyone agrees.
For example, one of the answers may be a counter question: are you ready to bear responsibility for your own sins in life? The vast majority of people are not ready, so the awareness of the truth is blocked by a simple survival instinct, which is inherent in everyone, including the global elites, and is limited to the search for the guilty in the near and far environment.
In order to offer something better (IDEA) than a pleasant lie and its exposure, it is necessary to go through sincere repentance for what has been done and the crucible of purification, but no one will voluntarily agree to this.
You won’t get close to the truth if you don’t listen to what your adversary/opposition/enemy says. And since the US has been the de facto global dictator for 30 years it hasn’t been required to listen to others. So the great lie has just grown bigger.
But this pertains to all sides. Regarding the current war, if you don’t follow Ukrainian/NATO actions and opinions you’re in for surprises. 10 months ago Scott Ritter said the obvious – that the NATO billions would make a change on the battlefield. He was lambasted by the “pro-Russians”.
How many people really want the truth?
“How many people really want the truth?”
Wrong question through framing?
More illuminating perhaps would be :
“How many people really want the illusions ?”
an endeavour in which some are constantly immersed.
Many people want to keep the illusion that their governments take care of them and are not capable of harming them physically or economically fro profit.
Facing this reality, and the fact that they live in a nigtmarish fascist dictatorship instead of “The Garden” they were made to believe, will bring down the house of cards in which many immature adults have constructed their lives….We are to witness many gnassing of teeth and crying
The day of reckoning that you can only finally count on yourself and should cut definitely the umbilical cordon which was over extended from mama to your government has arrived…. in a blunt way….The sooner one realizes that if you want your rights back, you must fight for them, as you lost them becuase of naivety and negligence for delegation, the better….
“Many people want to keep the illusion that their governments take care of them and are not capable of harming them physically or economically fro profit.”
“in a blunt way”
Some believe that hope is the last to die, when of course it is the person.
“We are to witness many gnassing of teeth and crying” of the “individuals” who hope that others will be their saviours, whilst Godot is not likely to appear without mutual co-operation, but not in gnashing of teeth and crying, since tourists in a war zone don’t tend to enjoy continued well-being, and tend to undermine the continued being of others.
An American psychologist, Gustavo Gilbert, was a 2nd Lieutenant in the US army in 1945. He was also used as a translator at the time of the Nuremberg trials. He was part of a team that interviewed and kept the accused monitored to try and make sure the executioner wasn’t cheated.
He left us this in his writings after GÖRING was asked how they took the population of Germany along with them.
GÖRING..”.Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.”
GILBERT…”There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.”
GÖRING… “Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
So when Larry laments… “The propaganda, unfortunately, is persuading a large number of Americans that Russia and China and Iran and North Korea are our enemies and must be stopped “… just realise that it’s old wine in new bottles.
It’s not only persuading a large number of Americans, it’s the same story here in the UK…_
Yea, the Brits were the experts at it starting in WW1. A great book on American propaganda in WW2 is
https://www.amazon.com/Twas-famous-victory-Benjamin-Colby/dp/0870002546
“Why, of course, the people don’t want war.”
Context often aids perception.
Mr. Goering who previously had access to extensive amounts of aircraft, was overcoming his various substance abuses by mid 1945, and had been of significant intelligence and import throughout The Third Reich including in matters of possibilities of restructuring “alliances” in conjunction with Mr. Hess and Mr. Hitler.
Simultaneously other parties were also in process of restructuring “alliances” not restricted to Persilscheining almost all of the adult population of Western Germany, but Mr. Goering was less effective in his marketing endeavours than Mr. Speer, and in emulation of Mr. Himmler when he realised he was a bridge too far, Mr. Goering with access facilitated through local co-operation commited “suicide”, whilst Mr. Wolff and others relocated to elsewhere in Baden-Wurtemburg and Bavaria.
The interesting corollary to today’s policy papers on US objectives for Russia and China is Mein Kampf, where everything Hitler planned to do was spelled out in detail. No one actually believed he would do it. Why should they? Even then politicians seldom did what they promised.
“The interesting corollary to today’s policy papers on US objectives for Russia and China”
and Mr. Beck wanting to absorb Teschen/Ciesyn renamed from Lviv to Lwow in order to enjoy other “Uprisings”.
Fortunately some more refused to turn up than was the case at 17-00 local time 1st August 1945. – which of course was yet again blamed on the Russians.

Interesting reference to Mr. Beck, whom I did not know, and interesting his theory of the risk society….
It seems that some have decided to accelerate and even push the risks inherent to post-modernity…
Some of his works look quite interesting….by the title….

Multi-polarity comes in various presentations simultaneously – that is why it is multi-polar, whilst words remain catalysts of multi connotations and hence facilitate multi-polarity.
Beware of conflating an “answer” with “the answer”, or an “answer” with all of the “answers”.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of The Second Polish Republic in 1938 was Mr. Józef Beck, who was a mentor of Mr. Zbigniew Brzezinsky’s “diplomat” father whose son was also a “diplomat” whose role models also included Mr. Jozef Beck.
Although obfuscated in the books “the victors” wrote and published, “The Warsaw Uprising” was in large part a creation of “The Polish Government in Exile in London” to raise their diminishing profile with their “landlords”, as was the Assassination of Mr. Heydrich in even larger part a creation of “The Czech Government in London” to raise their diminishing profile with their “landlords”, rendering the “strategic” decisions and outcomes of politicians multi-polar and self-defeats/deaths suffered by many others.
“The Warsaw Uprising” officially commenced at 17-00 hours local time on 1st of August 1944 but the “strategy” was implemented without due co-ordination and hence some didn’t turn up.
A small “Warsaw Uprising” rememberance ceremony was held in the Praga district of Warsaw on the right bank of the Vistula at 17-00 local time on 1st of August 1945: those who attended consisted mostsly of members of The Red Army :
“which of course was yet again blamed on the Russians.”
As a consequence of “The Czech Crisis” Mr. Beck representing The Second Polish Republic absorbed a part of Czechoslovakia namely Teschen/Ciesyn, having previously undermined with future landlords in London the offer of “The Soviet Union”, subject to agreement of transit rights over The Second Polish Republic, to form an anti-Greater Reich (after 13th March 1938) alliance with Czechoslovakia, France, The Second Polish Republic, and “The British Empire” to solve “The Czech Crisis”, which encouraged “The Soviet Union” to agree the Soviet-Nazi non-aggression pact of 1939 as a stopgap “solution” not a function of the sole agency of Mr. Molotov or Mr. Ribbentrop or even a pact solely between them, akin to the conditional surrender brokered between Mr. Dulles and Mr. Wolff in the Bolzano region of the 4th of May 1945.
“”which of course was yet again blamed on the Russians.”
“I hope you can find an interpreter…”

Ok, I was suspecting it was not the same Mr. Beck you were talking about, because of the different periods of history, but, anyway, it was interesting also to know about him…
I found the information about The Warsaw Uprising by the date you gave, but could not read it yet, may be during the weekend….A partisan uprising which ended quite badly….for the partisans….for what I could find out at bird´s eye…
Wondering whether other partisans in the Novorrosiya region suffered of the same outcome…
Thanks for the history lesson….
I hope you keep commenting…in any case, good luck and good night.
London seems to be at the core of all European, and possibly world wide, wars…
Aded to the story about MH370 and that patent, and the fact that the old Venetian balck nobility money went to conform the City of London and the FED, you have the the current banking crash in the US is spreading mainly, or firstly, to the group of banks which form the Rothschild´s headed Inter-Alpha Group, some of which have Saudi participation….like Credit Suisse whic have tried to capitalize itself at Saudi´s cost, getting a direct “NO”, since Saudi participation was only a 9%…Thus they had to nationalize the bank…
An intended crash for to reaping cash from everybody, especially the Saudis, before they make the complete u-turn…with all their money…and get out of reach/control?

“The German people were deluged with lies and, rather than push back and demand truth, succumbed to those lies.”
That was the myth created by primarily “The United States of America” as part of the “protection” offered by Mr. Allen Dulles to and accepted by Mr. Wolff in the Bolzano region on 4th May 1945 as part of the conditional surrender to facilitate the integration of part of Germany into the “post war” West in order to continue the war against the Soviet Union.
Most of the population of The Third Reich enjoyed benefits from “The holocaust” and General Plan Ost, whilst from 1941 onwards much of the internal policing facilities of The Third Reich had been denuded since they were required to facilitate the ongoing holocaust and General Plan Ost which were components of Operation Barbarossa.
The lacunae were partly addressed by reliance on the co-operation of the Volksgemeineschaft as informers and participants.
Most of the population of The Third Reich were complicit in its activities to a degree requiring many to be Persilscheined whilst some others including Mr. Barbie were exported to continue activities primarily in “Latin America” which was/is deemed by some to be “America”.

since “events” of 2004 accelerated the necessity and production of shit in English rendering it more difficult to educate themselves and others, whilst practitioners were busy attending to other matters of content.
Be patient don’t waste time, have a coffee with a cake instead whilst trying to remember that quality is preferable to quantity since not all agree.
In fact, I was just having a coffee and a puding while making my last comments here….
The reality is that I do not have so much time either, since still at job, which increases in work burden and above all disorganization ( which in my opinion is by design to dismantle the current system so that everything can be sold to US hedge funds by pennies..), which translates into increasing tiredness and stress, if it not were already enough with insatisfaction of not believing anymore on what you are doing….
https://t.me/voluntasoficial/5998
Yes, not precisely the time for writting, although some are making their August…as all those influencer people owning a channel in the net…..
“events” in 2004….
Do you mean the terrorist attack on the Moscow metro and then the Beslan massacre by Chechen separatists?
Or the entering of almost the whole Estern Europe, former members of the Warsav Pact, into NATO, and then into the EU?
I was not paying due attention then, nor had really a clue, I recall myself travelling and trying to know as much of the world as I could ( and experience proved it a good idea, sicne time would come when travelling was forbidden, at least to not compliant citzenz, something we would never expected it could happen to us in Europe…)….but it seems it was a year full of international terrorist activity…..
There also happened a terrible terrorist attack in Spain, whose anniversay was precisely yesterday ( and which some new political upstarts had the guts to qualify as “accident” without any hint of shame, this is Soros directed “euroleft”…) and on whose explanation there are out new theories involving NATO…which does not sound at all wild, taking into account what happend to our pipelines…
A fact that called my attention, taking into account current harassment of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the Zelensky regime, latest of which the taking over of and ousting of monks from the Pechersk Lavra, is that also during that year, curiously also on September 11: Patriarch Petros VII and his companions, near Mount Athos, Greece, died in an as yet unexplained helicopter crash….
Do you think, as some people hold, that they use this dates like kinda ritualistic thing, I mean, as a signature…. to the understanding of practitioners ?
In October, it was also signed the Treaty of Rome which established an European Constitution and thus signed the death sentence on European countries´ sovereignty….and from those muds this mire…
Then, “Orange Revolution” happened in Ukraine in November…which led to repetition of elections which finally gave the victory to Viktor Yushchenko….
Really a lot of stuff happened that year, thanks for bringing it into attention….

RE: Paul Greenwood says
12 March 2023 at 13:19
“The real instability in Germany was the coup by Philipp Scheidemann in 1918 when he unilaterally proclaimed a Republic without consultation.”
Science is based on doubt not certainty and certainty can never exist since omniscience can never exist – hence the dogma “The real instability” rendering Mr. Greenwood co-operation incapable and hence the useful foolery response of “The archives are too big to do the work again”.
“Do you mean the terrorist attack on the Moscow metro and then the Beslan massacre by Chechen separatists?”
Framing conditions perception and limiting framing restricts perception/perspective.
Both Mr. Greenwood’s and your output to a lesser degree are undermined by not understanding that and hence your efforts are dissipated to some degree.
I cited a specific year of 2004 on the understanding that it was restricting perception/perspective as is understood by “strategists” including Mr. Chou En Lai, who when asked by a journalist whose perspective was of a very limited horizon of 1968, if Chou En Lai thought that The French Revolution had been a success, Mr. Chou En Lai in respect of 1789 replied It’s too soon to know, which in relation to binaries mutates into you’ll never know.
So don’t believe, always test hypotheses not for “answers” but for subsequent “questions” even if not perceived as being contingent.
“Do you mean the terrorist attack on the Moscow metro and then the Beslan massacre by Chechen separatists?”
All, since they were/remain connected in some degree.

You are engaging in seeing is believing whilst understanding:

Nah, I don’t hold much hope for the future of the American people really. To be aware of so many faults in the system while at the same time lionising the likes of Trump, Babbitt and the 6th January circus show. You guys have to do a lot better than that if you want to survive this.
Ah shucks Larry! Why did you have to go and ruin it? I thought you had an excellent article until the very last paragraph. William Shire is propagandist and The Rise and Fall is a perfect example of well crafted propaganda. Most people believe all the lies pounded into their head by the entertainment media complex. It also helps if you get them young. WW2 is the prime example. Other points of views are rapidly shut down by name calling and vilification. Why can’t certain points in history be questioned, especially if there is good evidence to the contrary? There is nothing new. If the propaganda plays long enough, it become the defacto truth.
“If the propaganda plays long enough, it become the defacto truth.”
No.
Vectors of self-destruction of varying half-lives as you may increasingly observe, since war is not restricted to things that go bang, and the sedated are less reticent on entering the slaughterhouse.
As Mr. Fields observed:
There comes a time in the affairs of men when we need to grab the bull by the tail and face the situation.
hear hear!
WW2 is the exemplar of modern propaganda from which all the current lies flow. Ron Unz has an good article with lots of references for those that want to begin the journey towards truth on WW2.

“When I was a 14 year old teenager (that was more than 50 years ago) I read William Shirer’s, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. It made a lasting impression; ”
Same here, but now I find that I have to leaven such texts with the thought that it is the victors who wrote the histories.
I sort of wish I could still hold onto the childhood beliefs of truth, justice and the American Way. Everything was so clear cut. But it was never true was it? And in the end we are better for discovering that .
All those lies are to serve ruling class billionaires. The black shock troops to divide population so you don’t have time look up and do another Occupy when looking over your shoulder. The great economy so don’t worry poors, it’s just your fault. The trans with parents screaming at school boards instead of Wall Street for fleecing their 401k again. The Ukraine winning so MIC and accociated hangers on get rich hopefully 20 years like Afghanistan where we were “winning” too.
It’s Machiavellian. Divide and conquer type stuff but some people like money/power more than anything. They say there’s 3-5% sociopaths in a society that’s probably who’s in charge.
“The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.”
Hannah Arendt , “The Origins of Totalitarianism.”
Politicians/policy planners have always lied, but the real final infiltration of the great lie culture reached its apotheosis during both Trump and now Biden’s tenure (an extension of Trump’s) because we’ve approached the end game in the world power game (actually you could argue the shift started in Obama’s second term when he morphed from a conventional political liar to a hard-boiled neocon). As an undeniable copernican shift in the global coalition of forces emerged with Putin’s intervention in Syria, the gloves really started to come off with regard to deep state-media complex (micmat) narrative shaping. It isnt left/right as the inquisitors haranguing Taibbi in Congress over twitter files would have you believe. It’s finance capitalism circling the wagons. The totalitarianism that Arendt analyzed is not an exclusively “left wing” phenomenon. The American/Western version is actually right wing in nature because it is driven by private banking cartels, making it decidely fascist at root….no matter the “woke” rhetoric used by the high preists of the professional managerial elite, they are essentially property pirates at core.
One of your blatant lies is actually a truth: Zelensky is on par with Churchhill. Both men sold out their country out for money. Churchill push his country into war and refused to accept a generous peace offer from Hitler even after Hitler allowed the Allied forces to escape from Dunkirk as a good will gesture.
There are other similarities to:
Churchill was a drunk
Zelensky is a coke head.
Churchill leaked it to Germany the Lusitania had weapons on board to draw the U.S. into WWI. And Zelensky is trying to draw NATO (the U.S.) more directly into this by shooting his missiles into Poland claiming it was from Russia. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
Another excellent example of the character of these two men.
Zelensky’s true country is not Ukraine, which is why he is happy to oversee the slaughter of immense numbers of Slavs.
Indeed, Slavs, goy what does it matter. They are expendable. Not like precious Chosen blood! Look at how Madeleine Albright just brushed aside the deaths of half a million Iraq children.
Simplicius76 is taking a different, more aesthetic approach to the ‘fabric of lies’ in this article https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/shibboleths-of-war-the-clash-of-old
The make-believe wizardry that is being staged by the Zelensky pandemonium (invented by Hollywood & CIA ) at times still is able to exhibit a JFK lookalike youthful fervor & sex-appeal. These JFK myth emulations were also still being embodied by Clinton and Obama, but have uncomfortably converted into a stage of live disembodiment during the zombie rule of Joe Biden. We are witnessing not only a ‘crashing down of lies’ but a repeated Belshazzar’s Feast-like exposure of buckling knees (Daniel 5) on the steps of the Airforce One and a Nebuchadnezzar-like degradation of a human presence of mind to the mindfulness of a grazing cow (Daniel 4).
It’s not just the lies and delusions. With all the emergency powers and laws put in place over the last 20+ years, there is a continuing state of emergency. You’re now in the situation where you threw out King George only to wind up with King Joe, ruling by executive order is nothing less than ruling by decree.
Where are the sons of the Minutemen when you need them to take on the tyrant?
>Ukraine’s President Zelensky is on par with Winston Churchill.
I’m not sure this is a lie. They both seem to be the same sort of fantasist:
Churchill was an idiot
Churchill, despite his many faults and failings, was a remarkable intellect and speaker. Zelensky? None of the above.
Many faults indeed:
We constantly hear of Stalin’s sequestering of grain stocks leading to the holodomir but how often do we hear about Churchill’s role in the Bengal Famine and its up to 3 million victims?
Rice stocks continued to leave India even as London was denying urgent requests from India’s viceroy for more than 1m tonnes of emergency wheat supplies in 1942-43. Churchill has been quoted as blaming the famine on the fact Indians were “breeding like rabbits”, and asking how, if the shortages were so bad, Mahatma Gandhi was still alive.
Churchill was a plain vanilla racist. But he did stand up to the Nazis.
Then again, he chose not to back the western leaning Mihailovic and chose the Soviet leaning Yugoslav partisans instead.
So, all in all….I’d call him a wash.
They never stop. The US thinks they can bully the Hungarians by parading a B52 bomber circling over the country.
News Flash. The Hungarians are a tough, proud people. This nonsense will not be taken well.

From what I understand the difference to pre-war Germany and the situation in the USA now is that the Nazi party instituted concentration camps early (Dachau 1933, the year the Nazis grabbed power) into which they interned opponents of their regime, be they media, political or religious. The others – Jews, Romany, homosexuals etc. were swept up after the first tranche of political opposition was incarcerated. There an atmosphere of fear and repression was the of the first order of the day, hence the lack of any opposition.
I’m afraid that in your country the media are so stitched up by the war mongers’ faction that such repression isn’t required. And don’t think that you are the only ones in this situation – here in Australia it’s just as bad as all forms of dissent are ignored, even if they come from past Prime Ministers. For example, we have just been regaled with the news that we will be at war with China within the next 3 years. This is coming from all the MSM including the Government owned and operated Australian Broadcasting Corporation and any opposition to this momentous and frightening scenario is ignored. I truly long for the old anti-Vietnam days when hundreds of thousands marched in the streets of Australia and were, for the most part, reasonably reported on by the MSM. We live in dark times. However, I do think this BS we can see is slowly coming to the attention of more and more in the West so hopefully a new dawn is arising.

Nazis in Washington. Who’d thunk it?
I would add to Larry’s list of lies being told to us:
-Federal agencies like the FBI, FDA, and Homeland Security are protecting your safety and health
-the American education system is among the best in the world
-America never really lost any war
-the American financial system is sound
-it takes a solid education and a high IQ to rise high in American judicial and political circles
-your opinions really matter to our rulers
-“Made in America” is a sign of quality and dependability
There are hundreds of similar falsehoods by which we are bombarded day in, day out. All of them substantiate President Putin’s observation that ours is The Empire of Lies.
Not really a lie, just a minor proviso.
Federal agencies like the FBI, FDA, and Homeland Security are protecting your safety and health, as they interpret it.
A phrase for all occasions, like ‘democracy promotion’ and ‘organic produce’.
The isolationist tendencies that still exist in the Republican Party clearly have no beef with Russian society. It is conservative and Christian and does not have imperialist aims that threaten the US (or Europe). Tucker aligns with that sentiment.
But after the neocon’s propagandists tie Russian and China together all year long, won’t old Mitch just use Tucker and others as a honeypot to destroy Trump and any congressional objections to funding the war? Meaning, If godless communist China is helping Russia, than whatever Republican voters may think of Russia society doesn’t matter because they are acting with the Communists?
Any pacifism towards Russia that Trump attempts to argue during the primary will be drowned out by accusations of appeasement to the communists by neocons in the race like Nikki Haley(and DeSantis?)
This comment comes with full disclosure that my politics began and still are with labor and a left that no longer exists in the United States. I no longer recognize the Democratic Party I grew up knowing and my foreign policy views much more align with the old isolation wing of the Republican Party than they do with the current revolutionary Democratic Party. I preface with this because I am not really too familiar with the internal workings of the Republican Party so this might be more of a question to other commentators rather than a comment.
“Rending America’s Fabric of Lies — Is It Possible?” Possible but not likely IMO.
Like others here, I am deeply concerned about the collapse of our once great Nation. I ask myself why are the political elites so hellbent on their destructive trajectory? Is it lust for power–yes of course that’s any easy answer (politics is all about power & control)…is it ideology based fervor–I think so but all politics is ideology based. In a broader sense those two explanations are merely symptoms not the cause.
Larry you used an addict hitting bottom analogy and certainly that day is coming. In the meantime perhaps we need to accept the fact that the US is an empire in decline…here are the generally recognized “cycles of great powers”:
https://www.ucg.org/the-good-news/the-life-cycles-of-empires-lessons-for-america-today
1. The age of outburst (or pioneers).
2. The age of conquests.
3. The age of commerce.
4. The age of affluence.
5. The age of intellect.
6. The age of decadence.
7. The age of decline and collapse.
Place your bet or comment on which phase the US Empire is at. For my part the sooner we hit bottom the sooner we can rebuild from the ashes…I hope I live to see the US rebuilt into a better and more peaceful nation.
“Once great nation….”?
Yeah, right.
Valhalla, I think there are two things to consider here:
1. The element of being “victory-drunk” following the end of the Cold War. It is framed in the US as the victory of the “free market” over the “command economy”. Since “free market” won, well then the solution to all problems in the world must be “free market”, right? Ever wonder why poverty is rising in the US and infrastructure is falling apart? Because the government no longer invests in their own country, handing over everything to the “free market”. Hence the DOWNWARD trajectory.
2. The element of the “White Man’s burden”. This is a society which always feels the impulse to spread their belief to others. It was Christianity back then, now it is the “free market”. No consideration of how all nations in the world differ in their mindset, culture, history, reflexes, etc. To hell with all this. Everyone must adopt the “free market”, and if they don’t, the will be made to. Hence the DANGEROUS trajectory.

Humanitarian aid in Ukrainian depot. A manager offers to smuggle anything out for a reasonable fee. Nothing interesting, actually, stereotypical украинский прапорщик, kind of those who corrupt Soviet army and armed LDPR armies in 2014, because they “know what real life is”.
Curios thing is dried peas bags. They are western humanitarian aid to Ukraine… And they are “made in Ukraine”. Aidy aid 😉
Medicine box with yellow & blue markings must contain copium. 🙂
Throughout the Cold War and beyond the USA/West has hurled proxy armies against its enemies. Their best ever proxy force is being mauled in Ukraine by Russia who happens to have the ability to match even a nuclear escalation.
I suspect that instead of acknowledging defeat the USA/West will commit itself to open kinetic conflict with some of its designated enemies in an attempt to prove the truth of its Manifest Destiny to rule the world…God help us!
Poland is next in line after Ukraine. They’ve ordered 2000 tanks, 600 artillery, 50 fighter jets, hundreds of MLRS. They’re also setting up a 300k army. Plus, their hatred for Russians is way stronger than that of the ukies.
Yeah, right. And they too will get a good ass kicking.
Ratchet up the bullshit, the only place to be free of it seems to be Russia and China.
They are wisely playing the long game and now the gloves are off. And this time it’s for keeps.
Keep jackin’ off, west.
One wonders which is the real percentage of Polish people who are willing to fight…
There are already demonstrations in Poland with the people shouting “We do not want to die for Bandera” and “This is Poland, not Ukropol”…
Also demonstrations in Chequia and Moldova….
Milton Mayer’s They Thought They Were Free was an attempt to get the perspective from the “men in the street” after WW2. Reading this excerpt and changing a couple words it could easily be the USA. If you talk to Americans they largely seem to think they are immune to propaganda. They are sweetly oblivious to the fact modern propaganda was invented and perfected in the USA. Goebbels was notva propaganda genius. He simply copied the Americans. He had everything Edward Bernays ever published in his library. Bernays discusses it in his autobiography

Cutting off the conversation is the typical response from liberals who just cannot handle or tolerate any differences of opinion. When their “safe” little world view is threatened, they go into denial mode, and that’s the end of any debate and discussion. We see this across the board, and especially in colleges, where feral mobs attack conservative speakers and walk out of lectures rather than debating issues. Stanford and Yale law schools are just two glaring examples.
I read the “The and Fall of The Third Reich” at about the same time, and, of course, I was mesmerized by the chapters on the Holocaust. But remember, Shirer was out of the country by that time, so his accounts aren’t personal observations as was the case with most of his book
As an adult I reread the book, and what impressed me the most was the chapter “The Roots of The Third Reich” .. perhaps the greatest historical essay ever written. Everyone should read it, if only to see a master historian at his best
One event that I think has always been given short shrift is the 1923 hyper inflation. Not simply because of the suffering it created, but because of its effect on ones hold on reason and reality itself. Here was a nation where a 1000 mark note was a thing to be held in awe, that had never changed in value at all. And suddenly, in a years time an entire wheelbarrow of these notes couldnt purchase a wad of paper to wipe your ass with. This event drove Germans out of their right mind.
It only took one more adverse event, an econ depression, to cause their minds to break. And since both of these nation breaking events were caused by the financial sector, where a certain ethnic group was known to have concentrated for centuries, how difficult was it for certain elites to set them up as scapegoats? Not very
“One event that I think has always been given short shrift is the 1923 hyper inflation.”
In some circles but not all.
Of course since it was an extension of The Treaty of Versailles rendered in a different form another bookend being the Creditanstalt occurency in 1931, Bretton Woods being another episode of try, try, try againing, as was the repatriation of gold not exclusively sourced from dentistry to finance Wirtschaftswunder the attention was hoped to be as short as possible..
1971 was not the first attempt at alchemy to turn gold into promises.
Weimar Inflation was over by Nov 1923 when Rentenmark was introduced.
The real instability in Germany was the coup by Philipp Scheidemann in 1918 when he unilaterally proclaimed a Republic without consultation.
It was an illegitimate regime that required Noske with the Freikorps to prevent a Communist takeover as the previous year in Russia.
It alienated the Monarchists and empowered the Spartakists.
Germany was kept afloat interwar with US capital exports from Wall Street. Once US investors started pulling funds out 1929. (2% US GDP was invested in Germany) the place collapsed especially as Danat Bank failed……………
So it was USA that caused the misery in Germany and WELCOMED Hitler as an Anti-Communist leader – go look at how US Business adored Hitler
“The real instability in Germany was the coup by Philipp Scheidemann in 1918 when he unilaterally proclaimed a Republic without consultation.”
No but not an usual interpretation for matters of obfucation.
The start /facilitator by design was the entry of “The United States of America” in 1917 into the “First World War” to facilitate The Treaty of Versailles on the basis of ethnic nationalism which was a causal factor in the efforts of “The United States of America” from 1919 until 12th March 2023 as archives presently under the protection of The Office of the President of The Russian Federation can corroborate in due course if deemed appropriate.
“go look at how US Business adored Hitler”
Well the archives are so big so why do the task again?

How strange. I also ‘got my start’ reading Shirer’s “Rise and Fall” that I pinched off my Dad’s book shelf. It must have been late grade school because I remember one of the teachers freaking out when she saw me reading it at recess. “omg! NAZIS! I’m calling your parents young man!” Alas, vapid teachers are not a new thing. I guess better vapid than vapid and woke.

Fun fact. “Demand money” is merely a fraction of the $18 trillion in deposits, far more than the $2.2 trillion in circulating currency. That’s right. US banks show 18 Trillion in deposits. But there is only 2 Trillion in actual cash. How does that work you ask? It doesn’t. It is a fucking Ponzi. It works till it don’t. If everyone in this country went to the bank. Took out everything they did not need for current bills? The lights would go out tomorrow.
I want to echo what Curt Nichols said above. I, too, am an honorably discharged veteran. F#$% this country. My kids aren’t going to fight for pedophiles.
Well, we see Larry’s Achilles heel. In fact all of America’s and all the collective west’s Achilles heel.

What “myths” ????
Germany had been re-arming since 1919. – Von Seeckt had been working with Voroshilov in USSR to build military camps and factories. Guderian trained in USSR – Junkers had factories.
Germany breached the Versailles Treaty from Day One. BTW – do compare the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk imposed on Russia by Germany 1917 with the Versailles Treaty and see how lightly Germany got off.
The Treaty of Versailles was not as costly to Germany in terms of territory as Unconditional Surrender in 1945

Yeah, right! And not to forget all those myths and lies about Stepan Bandera. He wasn’t a saint, but not that bad. And Babi Yar never happened of course. It’s all a lie. Zalushni is a good guy with his Viking ring, shutting down those satanic churches. A true hero!

I was thinking the same exact thing. Right you are. It’s the massive lie beneath all the lies he points out.
Superhero subculture is to culture what junk food is to food.
I mostly agree on the list of lies we are told, but take strong issue with one “lie:” the claim that “masks don’t prevent Covid.” The latest “study” (“Cochrane”) supposedly showing masks to be ineffective has been challenged as a series of selective “facts” leading to misrepresentations in the narrative space. Using an N95 or similar respirator-rated mask that is properly fitted very assuredly provides very good protection against airborne pathogens like Covid, both to the benefit of the wearer and to those around the wearer. But of course since it’s not a mandate or even central policy, and dependent on individuals to give a sh!t about the health and “rights” of others (to be free from the unmasked libertarian happy to spew deadly viruses into my breathing space as an exercise in “personal liberty.”)
The narrative lie is that masks are a failure, a lie told in consort with the other huge lie, that we all just have to “live with” Covid which we are told will eventually result in “herd immunity.” That “immunity” would only arrive, if ever, after most of us have died off, due to the distressing ability of Covid to mutate into increased infectiousness and escape from our immune systems. It’s a myth that Covid will “evolve toward reduced mortality.” All part of the pro-business, Biden administration “let ‘er rip” policy that has killed way more than a million Americans and will kill hundreds of thousands more every year until real vaccines are developed and real public health measures are instituted.
I will happily reinforce your noting that the crap we have been fed about hugely profitable mRNA “vaccines” is a lie of the first order. The Pfizer CEO admits that they neither cure the disease nor stop its spread. Even Fauci has had to acknowledge this. Both facts are centrally important to the oh-so-profitable business strategy of impelling us mopes to get “boosted” several times a year as new variants. Which are likely caused by the failure to even slow the spread by actual public health measures (actual vaccines, effective treatments even with existing cheap drugs and supplements, improved ventilation of indoor spaces,) and by “teaching” the virus how to escape natural immune responses by failing to sterilize the pathogen in people whose immune systems have been degraded by the modifications performed by the mRNA jabs.
Two words to describe what’s happening to pretty much all human institutions, from sort of the same root cause: crapification, and ensh!ttification. Yeah, as with the imperial strategy to grasp at the last bits of hegemony, “Let ‘er rip.” As in RIP for us mopes.
They have crazy pills for that, covid is 99.7% survivable. I recommend you get a prescription.
The thing is that the Cochrane has already been also compromised by its mayor donors which ahppen to be the same as those other medicine reviews and medical organizations, Big Pharma….

One of two things, either the so called isolated virus, which happened to be a computer construct estimation based on whatever data bases there were in the WHO archives, is not so ( having European governments asureded they had not any isolated sample of the virus from a living tissue at requests by concerned citizens…), and thus does not have the size they told us it has, or it, as it was described in size, can trespase whatever mask you could wear, except, may be, hazmat military of the kind used by V.V.Putin when he visited the Covid-19 especialized hospital at the first months of the “pandemic”…
If you want to live masked for life, why do not you get a similar hazmat respirator for yourself and wear it wherever you go, even to the beach or the mountains, instead of trying to put the presure of your obvious hypochondria on the rest of your nationals who prefer to not live in fear, uncertainty, doubt?
Masks.
Claim: ….”N95 or similar respirator-rated mask that is _ *properly fitted* _ very assuredly provides very good protection against airborne pathogens…”
But. That’s not what the vast vast unwashed were wearing, was it.
N95. Nope.
1/ What were worn were any variation of tissue “surgical” masks… homemade from any fabric, or increasingly “fashion statement” masks, made of ?? with decorations and slogans.
Capable of demonstrating the wearer’s political or aesthetic views..
“Properly fitted”. Nope.
2/ “worn above the mouth, (but below the nose) (because a mask makes breathing difficult)
N95 masks worn correctly.. *may* provide “good” or “good enough” protection from pathogens.
Masks, worn as they were, by the billions globally… were a farce.
They were an intelligence / compliance / humiliation test….
Using an N95 or similar respirator-rated mask that is properly fitted very assuredly provides very good protection against airborne pathogens like Covid
I doubt your facts on so many levels. N95 is a dust-mask. It does not filter the exhaled air.
It uses melt-blown plastic as a filter and permits the wearer to inhale plastic strands…….in fact it is illegal to produce the components inside the EU on health and safety grounds
N95 masks are for time-limited use – certainly not for several hours without interruption

On the question of men having babies comes from the fact that humanity does not have only two genders. There are three genders – Male, Female and Transgender. Humans can be born with working ovaries, uterus, penis and testicles. Both females and some transgenders can become pregnant and bear babies. The problem is the issue of how you classify and treat transgender humans.

Why are those tapes not released to the public? Well, the public is doing a bang up job of going through video and coming up with real stories and that is to be prevented. Their boy Tucker will create outrage around some nutcase like Chalmsley while the real story in the tapes is squirreled away. What about Stewart Rhodes? Everybody spent a whole year calling him a fed till he got arrested. Fact is, he acted within the law but it’s the kind of law that the evil ones are afraid of. Standing by, waiting for legal direction from the president to commence recourse to a traitorous coup is not a crime. Now the narrative got everybody talking about second and tertiary level stuff. Stay on task.
‘ Yet high ranking U.S. Government officials, such as the despicable Attorney General, Merrick Garland, continue to repeat that falsehood and no one in the mainstream media is rebutting his mendacity.’
And to think that Garland came close to becoming a Supreme Court Justice is scary.
Hey Larry I have recently read some books on totalitarianism and it has expanded my view of why the “Good Germans” did not stop the Nazis as I too have asked myself that question for a long time. You or someone here might enjoy the suggestions:
Road to Serfdom by Hayek
Rape of the Mind by Meerloo
Origins of Totalitarianism by Arendt
Currently reading Brace New World Revisited and it may be better then his book!
What the accumulation of these peoples view is not just that people are deceived but that they want to be deceived. As Huxley said they will be attracted to this new form of slavery.
My personal view is that the reason the “Good German” could not stop the Nazis was culturally speaking their were no “Good German’s” left. Just like in the US. Sure half the nation can see through the BS of the Tran’s movement and BLM, CRT and all this systemic racism fantasy but how few saw through the Covid vax hoax? Around 30%? I am guessing less than 10% can see through this Ukraine mess.
The reason I don’t think we can stop the BS is there simply are not enough of us. Which is sad since 90% of us should be on board about these things…
* The United States has the greatest, most powerful military in the world.
* Russia’s military is weak and performing poorly on the ground in Ukraine.

Russia is quickly adapting from transitioning of Natural Gas by pipelines to the production & export of LNG (Liquified Natural Gas). https://www.vesti.ru/finance/article/3244816
Well, and a specific example of the transition to a new, more sustainable model of the country’s economy is a change in its structure. Growth in production and export of liquefied natural gas – LNG. That is, not through the pipes. This task was previously set by the president.
Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin proposes to actively use the capacities of the Arctic routes for transporting LNG to the east – to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region: “The government proposes to expand the geography of such fields from where LNG export is allowed, adding to the list promising subsoil plots located at a considerable distance from the unified gas supply system , to which, accordingly, it is not economically feasible to connect pipelines. We are talking primarily about the northern territories of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. There are huge reserves of natural gas, in general, about 3 trillion cubic meters. The decision taken will allow increasing annual production volumes LNG up to 100 million tons in the next 7 years, as well as significantly increase its exports,in general, to strengthen the position of the Russian Federation in the world market of such environmentally friendly fuel.
I suspect we’ll see a lot more lies before there is any glimmer of light. Larry, you forgot the nonsense in banking/finance. Gee, we have a new pivot to take everybody’s mind off the other stuff and scare the begeesus out of all of us – the SVB failure. Now we’re on the cusp of things worse than 2007, and, oh, maybe the CBDC (central bank digital currency) will be the “salvation.” Bad to worse, and worse before better is how all “fixes” go. So far, though, there’s been no “better” showing up anywhere, just varying degrees of “worse” like the circles of hell in Dante’s Inferno.
Everything is to keep us both uninformed and off-balance. Sesame Street set up the whole system to respond to 2 minute pops with no ability for longer term attention spans. It’s just about the next “thing.” Until it all falls completely apart, then it gets “real” for everybody.
Larry, have you seen this?

And in Europe is the same, Larry. The disinformation campaign has eaten the brains of millions of people across the West and it’s just like Larry says, there’s no use in the debate. They eat propaganda with a spoonful of soup and Putin is the biggest villain since the 007 movies here in Europe. With the aggravating factor that we are one of the biggest victims of this war. Right after the wretches of Ukraine! The 1st objective of this war was to disconnect Europe from Russian gas and oil. Overthrowing Putin and looting Russia’s natural resources was just the second objective they will not achieve. But the first objective has been fully achieved to date!
We have to wait for what happens in the future with the West completely cut off from 80% of the world’s population. Where I would say that the war went very badly for the USA. They wanted to isolate Russia and were completely isolated from 80% of the world’s population! And the re-establishment of relations between the Saudis and Iran, I would say, was the fatal blow to the heart of the Empire. Even if the Saudis had already announced the end of petrodollars in the WEF! Much due to the fatal mistake of stealing Russian reserves. That cream goes very expensive to the US!
“Much due to the fatal mistake of stealing Russian reserves.”
Hence in a previous thread some months ago.
The Russian Federation didn’t have reserves stolen, they made an investment whose dividends are not yet complete.
Any more Russia musts, advice for the Security Councill of The Russian Federation, or The General Staff ?
At some point before it is mainstream I expect Obama to comment something that interjects doubt into the Ukraine adventure by the USA. He wants to protect his legacy, hang the problem on Biden and others, and assist someone who can carry on his agenda.
Zelensky is on a par with Churchill because Churchill is a completely overrated figure if one cares to look beyond the period between the fall of France and US entry into WWII. The rest of the time he was a vainglorious jackass trying recklessly to extend the British Empire long past its expiration date using all sorts of skullduggery, from the Lusitania onwards, to co-opt American military-industrial and financial might in service of the Empire. In describing the nature of military alliances, Alexander Mercouris uses the term “Trojan allies” referring to lesser powers that attempt to further their ambitions leveraging the might of greater powers. They are inherently destabilizing and dangerous. Prior to WWI they were powers such as Serbia, Austria-Hungary, and, to a lesser degree, France. At the close of WWII, Britain and France became the new Trojan allies whose ambitions to retain former imperial glory I am convinced were the true cause of the Cold War. And we haven’t even gotten to the blatant flouting of international law and the UN Charter by those countries with regard to India, Indochina, Algeria, and Egypt (Suez Crisis), all encouraged by their alliance with the US (give Eisenhower credit for putting a limit on that game). Now we have the addition of two Trojan allies, Poland and Ukraine, playing that game more dangerously than ever. BTW, Trojan ally status is nothing new for Poland since their expansionist wars of 1919-21 under British and French sponsorship, and their hapless faith that British and French might could bail them out from geopolitical reality in the runup to WWII.

“Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili exposes the Ukrainian authorities:
Garibashvili said on the air of the Imedi TV channel that the outbreak of war in Ukraine was expected as early as November 2021, maximum in December. The Prime Minister of Georgia admitted that Tbilisi had information about this, including that he learned about it from the partners of the republic, TASS reports.
Garibashvili recalled that Saakashvili arrived in Georgia on October 1, 2021. Garibashvili expressed confidence that Saakashvili was sent to the republic in an organized manner and the main goal was to arrange a coup in Georgia and include the country in the war at the right time. The politician stressed that the Georgian authorities have no doubts about this.
Garibashvili expressed the opinion that it would perhaps be a kind of relief for Ukraine if Russia turned its attention to Georgia. The Prime Minister of Georgia expressed confidence that if the opposition party “United National Movement” founded by Saakashvili had been in power in the country, the republic would have turned into a training ground and would have received a “second Mariupol”, and thus Ukraine would have gained time.
Earlier, the Prime Minister of Georgia accused the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and “some unfortunate losers” of supporting a destructive mass action in Tbilisi and interfering in the internal affairs of the republic”.

It was all there in Superman’s iconic saying. “Truth, Justice and the American Way.” But people did not listen.
The American Way does not include Truth and Justice. If it did Superman would have been repeating himself.
Everything we are told to believe is a lie.
If they do not talk about the surveillance state, they are lying. Or ignorant of the surveillance state.
The surveillance is the most important thing, everything else is a side show till we all, meaning all us good folks, are openly freely discussing and calling out the surveillance, without this everything else does not matter, it is the surveillance state that makes everything else, all the lies, all the influence agents, all the pressure relief valves, all the shiny objects and distractions possible to begin with. From the surveillance they know what to do to us when to do it and how it needs doing to us.
The surveillance gives those with their fists around the levers of power the means the information and intelligence to keep their grip on those levers.
Everything, everything they tell us to believe is a lie. Everything is a lie it must be, they can not tell any truth now, it is lies on top of lies behind lies, lies about lies, its what living in a surveillance state is like, this is how the intelligence works, so many lies no one outside this state can find the truth, this is totally deliberate, it is the strat-tac of control in a surveillance state.
The funny thing here is lot of good folks no linger believe anything we are told to believe, and pretty soon a real lot of folks are no longer going to accept anything “they” tell us, the funny thing about this is at a certain point, “they” become transparently illegitimate, we all go from believing what we are told to to not giving any credence to their lies, then the funny thing happens, they no longer have power over us because the power of their lies no longer goes thru us. Auto-deligitimization begins. Their institutional crime order syndicate begins to fail. Then what is left is all “they” ever had, for power, the power of threat of force and use of violence.
But they better hurry up, cause there is around one hundred million of us goid folks who are armed to the effin’ teeth, plus famiky and friends, and ince we all get it that these criminals running things have zero legitimacy, read power, it is over but fir the last ditch use of violence and force in an effort to remain relevent. But its over. 100 hundred million armed to the teeth Americans are not wrong. And in America, up yours is always a choice.
And frankly, i’m in great company, thank GOD, i am fed up and had it up to here with these criminals running things. They are its said, fake gay and indeed they run clown world. All they are is criminals. All of them. Low life dcum of the earth, the most despicable foul bike things ever existed.
I withdrawn my consent for em, i hope you do too, and together we can win the liberty and happiness and be prosperous. Done with them stealing our wealth. Kaput!
Its over far as I am concerned.
BFYTW is why.
Thats my rant and i’m sticking to it.
Screw the bastards.
Aint none of them deserve America and everything all us good folks stand for.
Lets be done with them.
Lets win!
They can’t beat us if we refuse to take council from fear. GOD bless us there is none like us in this great country.

The former USA is a lie and a “Cult” – a false belief system administered by a “shit-hole” criminal zone aka “CULT” dedicated to genocide and the murdering of the children of mankind on a daily basis. This outsourcing of gross incompetence and criminal intent comes under the published ‘100+ year” ‘Project for the New American Century’ (PNAC) under the very hands of those that control the ‘co-called governments’ of this former nation – now also a “criminal shit-hole” – aka as the “neocons’ but more properly, the “paleocons”.
https://verbewarp.blogspot.com/
https://verbewarp.blogspot.com/2023/02/i-am-cult-death-be-my-name.html
This ‘Cult’ has grown its cancerous effect for over 100++ years beginning with Trotsky and his stupid Bolshevik Revolution that Stalin soon dispensed with and since then repeated with more failures, and more failures and more failures. And now the USA has failed under their hands and the LIES and sheer STUPIDITIES their descendants continue to perpetrate – no surprises here apart from the blackmailed and corrupt. Covid – Vaccinations – 9/11 – Afghanistan – Libya – Yemen etc. “Bomb the fucking children” is the government rhetoric – “Kill them all” IS the Mainstream Media Call of the ‘Cult’.
Mankind is being “culled” and all those with a voice are too fearful to say it: This behaviour is the behaviour of those of the “Cult”. Message to those reading this message: You are tagged for DEATH anyway, and besides, this behaviour is consistent with you you are already DEAD. Forget more “Freedom and Democracy'” as all you have coming is DEATH. All you every had coming is DEATH.
Advice” “Wake the fuck up”. Dump the MSM – Dump the Press – Trust Nobody – Dump the TV and use your brain to Think for YOURSELF and don’t be afraid (as you are DEAD already).
Probably, the best thing that could happen today is for WWIII, not to occur in Russia as planned by the Zionists, but on the east coast of the former USA.

No.

Unfortunately I don’t the see the climate hoax on Larry’s list. It’s the biggest hoax of them all. How’s Al Gore ‘s prediction of disappearing ice caps going? Or the catastrophic sea level rise? What about the polar bears) (spoiler: there are way more now than in the 80s) Or what about Greta’s prediction about humanity being wiped off by now?

It’s bigger than just lies. The lies are only a symptom.
A possible clue, maybe, is how the Russians care about faith. There is something in that. It comes up in Jordan Peterson’s talks, Bret Weinstein, big time with Batiushka (sp?) of the late Saker.
Perhaps there is some sort of emergent phenomenon of western “society”. Biological even. When I was a kid growing up, there were all these studies: too many rats in a cage go mad. Or perhaps God has made us mad.
This cannot be fixed by any appeal to existing authority. At least not in the west. Not even monks burning themselves in the streets this time. It feels to me like a physical manifestation of evil; sometimes, in just the right light, I feel I can see it.
The evil forces enjoy it. Don’t tell me that Biden and Nuland and Blinken and the like don’t enjoy it. Don’t tell me that the local hospital administrator mandating death shots doesn’t enjoy it. That’s where we are.

Agreed – “global warming’ is a huge con
But the greatest GRIFT of all – perpetrated by the ‘Cult – one of the oldest – I present to you gift wrapped – in CRIME ITSELF (Banking) – **ECONOMIC THEORY**
And an even bigger GRIFT is the WORSHIP of “money” (run by Wall Street – that is, the mob that owns the Federal Reserve) called “The Holy Order of Capitalism” (by the “elite’).
There is no doubt that the “Cult” is behind all of these Grifts as well as the propaganda, mis-education, mal-education, bullshit, and all other efforts to dumb down the public with “consensual ignorance’ including the production of false histories for public consumption.

Thanks for your efforts to rend the myth based on oh so many lies. I write about this issue all too often because it constantly rears its head and permeates all too much, like Biden’s budget or the recent Threat Analysis published for Congress and public. Policy based on lies leads to very poor policy outcomes, and that’s what we face.

I’d be very interested in your take. TPTB must be absolutely ALLERGIC to this story.
I have written about this previously.
I read Shirer at about the same age and had the same thought. I didn’t expect to so fully understand it, ever. Be a lot cooler if I didn’t.
The US has so many things in common with the late USSR, but with a lot more potential to rhyme with Nazi Germany. The economy no longer functions for the benefit of the majority but there’s still enough inertia to keep up appearances for a little while longer. The government and media openly lie about most all situations. Plenty of people know they’re lying but too many of them simply shrug their shoulders and carry on. A very large and corrupt military sucks public funds up to no discernible benefit to the nation. And the people at the very top of society are busy solely with skimming off whatever they can for themselves.
As Putin recently said, history is not a teacher, it’s a particularly strict supervisor. No people is ever ready for the collapse of their nation. But no people have probably ever been less ready than Americans. It’s going to be painful and ugly, no matter which side of the political aisle you stand on.
It is true that the victors get to write the history books. The current condition of the US has been evolving through the years and helped along by the government schools that teach more socialism and propaganda and that is definitely taken effect. The government created programs that makes slaves out of people who rely on all their programs and the politicians love it.
The social system of democracy is a problem that will need to collapse before anything will turn around. Liberty is becoming the exception and not the rule. Property rights are taken away and even the right of self-defense is being threatened. The right to free speech is almost a thing of the past and don’t try to speak at Stanford or any elite college if you present something differing of their propaganda minds.
I have recently seen people make comments that they support Russia in this war, and they couldn’t believe they would have reached this point in their lives. I also believe the same.
Truth is a rare commodity and I praise Larry for having this website so I can find a little sanity in this world. Thanks, Larry, for all you do.
“It is true that the victors get to write the history books.”
Whilst those who experience history remember and usually don’t bother to read the books.
“to speak at Stanford or any elite college if you present something differing of their propaganda minds.”
That would be very bad manners.
If someone wants to commit suicide you should repect their decisions.
Rending America’s lies? You have a better chance using an eraser to remove a leopard’s spots.
How do you expect a general from a country that has never been in a real war and therefore lack the necessary experience to be able to draw correct conclusions about anything? Recent statements by high-ranking people in the American army shows that they do not even know the meaning of words like “strategically”, “tactically” and “operationally”. The fact is that even the more reasonable people in America like Doug Macgregor are totally incompetent (take a look at his predictions).
But again, to manage to loose total hegemony over the whole world received (not “taken” or “won”) in a little over 30 years needs a special kind of morons.
“But again, to manage to loose total hegemony over the whole world received (not “taken” or “won”) in a little over 30 years needs a special kind of morons.”
No
Losing something that you never had is easy not only for morons.
Losing things consistently that you never had – that is mostly for morons.
“total hegemony over the whole world received”
Mr. Lavrov is not likely to respond this way outside the banya or even in the banya.
It might be up to others of experience drinking coffee and cognac to make things more plain such as:
The thing is we can all have fun.

Douglas Macgregor is proverbial one-eyed man in the land of the blind.
Larry, you suggest Ngo Dinh Diem lied to himself about the situation. I wonder what is the evidence to support that claim.
I served in the conflict in Vietnam and studied its history and the long-term history of Vietnam before being posted there. It seemed to me that Diem was an anti-communist patriot fighting a difficult war for those Vietnamese who, like him, were not communist.
Nothing I came across suggested to me he believed it was going to be easy or indeed believed that success was inevitable. Patriots often fail and then the victors rewrite history. It is a mark of courage to be willing to fight against heavy odds, knowing you may fail. Fighting against easy opponents does not make you a hero.
Perhaps you meant that Diem had foolish faith that his American “allies” would not betray him. As we know, with at least the acquiescence of Kennedy, American officials organized a coup to topple and assassinate Diem (and incidentally his brother, which has some parallels with John and Bobby Kennedy) to replace him with someone more to their liking (seems to be a pattern there). It was all down hill for South Vietnam after that.
Another great article. Thanks.
The conclusion that “country has to hit rock bottom and come to the realization that a change is needed.”, is exactly the one I came to last summer.
We are going to go through a lot of pain in the coming decade(s).
Carl W. Ackerman. He was the first dean of the graduate school of journalism at Columbia. He served for about 20 years as the dean of the graduate program. He was at one time a reporter. Here is what Wikipedia says about him (I am surprised this has not been deleted.)
“Ackerman became a journalist with the Philadelphia Public Ledger. In 1919, he published articles headlined as “The Red Bible” that featured the first English edition of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic hoax that had been published in Europe and recounted a Jewish plan for world domination. By replacing all the references to Jews with references to Bolsheviks, he turned it into an anti-Bolshevik hoax.”
Yup, the midwife of elite American journalism was an outright lying propagandist. Is it any wonder we are in the Gold Age of Propaganda.
Something I hardly ever see mentioned about the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party: there were violent communist riots in many cities in Germany in the 1920s. The USSR was pushing hard for world domination and communists were flocking to its banners. Hitler and his Nazis were a reaction, willing to meet violence with violence. This was why so many military and big business men came to support him. And the population of Germany that were impacted by the riots also began to side with him.
Of course, we know what eventually came to pass, but remember that the Nazi party won many seats in parliament in 1932 as a result of popular support, and Hitler became chancellor in 1933. The reasons for that support are hardly ever mentioned.
Don’t get me wrong, I have only loathing for the Nazis. I think Hitler was a perfect example of Lord Acton’s quote: “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority.”
More of Lord Acton’s other quotes seem to apply today more than ever. And he died in 1902! Long before even WWI.
BTW, in researching the quotation I came across a site that has quite a collection of his quotations. It is interesting how much of it can be applied today.
https://www.acton.org/research/lord-acton-quote-archive
The USSR was pushing hard for world domination and communists were flocking to its banners.
USSR was not created until 30 Dec 1922 and it did not push hard for world domination – it was subject to an invasion from Japan, USA, UK, France, Czechoslovakia from 1918 onwards and in Civil War
1920s were when Winston Churchill was running operations out of Warsaw with people like Boris Savinkov to topple the Bolsheviks – 1920 had French generals like Weygand in Warsaw and French military aid to fight the Bolsheviks and seize what is now Ukraine
“Red Scare” in USA was just that —–“scare”
Trotsky was the only one obsessed about World Revolution just like his followers today in USA as “Neo-Cons”……..and he was isolated and eliminated by Stalin who wanted “Socialism in One Country”
Herbert Hoover spent the 1920s in Central Europe trying to feed starving people. Britain was spending 40% total Government Budget on Debt Servicing for WW1 and was deflating the economy leading to mass-unemployment.
Hitler came in 1933……..he was a junior coalition partner to von Papen. Germany had been run by Emergency Decree since 1928. It was the death of Benjamin Strong as Governor of NY Fed on 16. Oct 1928 and reversal of his interest rate policies that caused Wall Street Crash and massive capital withdrawal from Germany that created mass-unemployment in Germany and destabilised Europe – NOT Communism
George D. O’Neill Jr.: Death of a Myth
Americans need to wake up to the realities of a post-unipolar world before it’s too late.
As we witness the collapse of various mainstream narratives, especially those surrounding the U.S./NATO war with Russia in Ukraine, Americans should begin to reassess their understanding of U.S. national leadership. Most American citizens have no notion of the great disparity between what their government does overseas and the stories they hear from its mouthpieces. As a result, Americans unwittingly support all sorts of foreign operations with little or no understanding of what is actually going on. For years, they have been misled by a non-stop propaganda campaign that is only now beginning to crumble.
We are experiencing the death throes of the United States’ unipolar hegemony over large parts of world. Until citizens begin to realize the magnitude of their government’s policy deceptions, it will become increasingly difficult to understand the United States’ changing global position and adjust to the effects of the growing negative perception of our country held by many people around the world.
