I doubt it. The CIA will just steal the elections again. It was quite obvious in 2000, and since it was obvious and they got away with it, they'll just do it again.

I was thinking last night about that turd bucket, Paul Ryan. Clear his job was to Delay everything MAGA during the two years the Reps had the House and the Presidency. I'm wondering what 2018 irregularities looked like.

We're eventually going to end up with a populist dictator. SOMEBODY with a huge ego is going to recognize they can go down in history as "the greatest president ever", if they just wipe the slate clean. To do that, they will have to have nearly absolute power for a bit.

Trump made a good stab at it. He bypassed the media, pointed out it was garbage, showed the DOJ is partisan and corrupt, and demonstrated that the intelligence agencies are a bunch of traitors that just shit on Constitutional rights. 2024 will be interesting.

I flat out HOPED he would do this. Sadly, there are too many Milleys in the Military. The Deep State won't clean itself up, and as Bannon notes, they're not just going to hand you the keys even if you do win fair and square in an election.

It's funny how the "Deep State" went from a "Conspiracy Theory" to something along the lines of heroes resisting the unwashed hordes from ruining America in the WaPo right after the 2016 election.

It's remarkable it took 200+ years to get here. It usually happens a lot faster. Didn't Jefferson say a revolution every 40 years would probably be necessary? I'd say we went about 200 before things got obviously and truly terrible. I think of all the lost liberties, to buy dynamite at the hardware store or guns in the mail without ID, or for a bar owner to decide whether there would be ash trays or not. To say nothing of the fewer and fewer small stores and businesses than there were just 30-40 years ago.

Paul Joseph Watson is pretty reputable.

Not with me. I literally have no idea who he is. Besides, shouldn't real skeptic refrain from blindly believing anyone until solid proof is provided?

So, no video, I presume?

PS. You know that it's pretty easy to see if the person is being hanged to death for reals vs acting like he/she is being hanged. Especially if it's done w/o a drop, like the picture seems to suggest.

Enjoy. Review his OLD stuff before you bother to look at his new stuff. That gives you a better idea of is he's worthwhile to listen to, and isn't just telling you what you might want to hear.

I'm not really interested in people making faces and talking in dramatic voices. All I want is the video of people being hanged. I can't find it in the collection you referenced. Are you sure it's there?

Eric Holder says

Then ignore him.

He's basically a satirist and I don't find him very informative. You asked for video of him, I was just giving you that. Very few people are worth paying attention to really. It's all basically just black entertainment anyhow.

People are taking sides on this, and nobody fully appreciates the situation. I can see Russia's point of view, and I haven't agreed with any of the US' wars in 2 decades.

Eric Holder says

Me too! But in the United States.

I interjected. I'm not Patrick, also, anything can easily be faked, especially during war. Even video is meaningless at this point.

The guy being executed murdered an entire family, starting with the grandmother and ending with the 10-year old boy, at on-base officer housing on an ARVN military compound He was being executed after a hot pursuit. Assassinating officers is one thing, killing their families is not. His extra judicial death was Fine and dandy by me.

Revolver links. The censoring force, it is powerful. I can't click on a single one of those links and get anything. These are the people who think we should be supporting their criminal enterprises in Ukraine.

Ukraine was intended to be part of GloboCap Inc, which is why there is so much shrieking in the media about the invasion.

Saudi Arabia is already part of GloboCap Inc, which is why there is media silence about its invasion of Yemen.

Former President George W. Bush met with illegal aliens this week to promote his amnesty and legal immigration expansion agenda, snubbing Angel Families who have lost loved ones to illegal alien crime in the process.

On Tuesday, Bush and former first lady Laura Bush met with illegal aliens Gerardo Casas, Rebeca Gurrola, and Dip Patel — all of whom are enrolled in former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — as well as mass migration advocates from Jewish Family Service of San Diego and the American Nursery & Landscape Association.

Specifically, Bush touted his efforts over the last year in lobbying Republicans in Washington, D.C. to work with President Joe Biden on not only passing amnesty for illegal aliens but also expanding legal immigration levels beyond the 1.2 million green cards and 1.5 million temporary work visas given out to foreign nationals every year.

Thanks to a DHS whistleblower who has come forward to Senators Josh Hawley and Chuck Grassley, we are now seeing the direct evidence of how the Fourth Branch of Government, specifically the Dept of Homeland Security, were planning to take control over public discussion on Big Tech platforms.

From that article: This is the woman that claims she might be prevented from having a child through IVF if Roe v. Wade is over-turned:



Despite my earlier stance, upon further examination, I do not oppose Roe v. Wade being over-turned.

@AmericanKulak - we know the Gulf of Tonkin Incident never happened, and we certainly know our government lies to us regularly now, so how are you certain what you said is true?

I'm not saying it's not, I'm saying we have an entirely non trustworthy government that will lie to us and doesn't deserve our respect at this point. I'm not so certain they were any different 50 years ago.

A government that has to lie to or will needlessly lie to us, is not worthy of being our government. We don't have a worthy government at this point. I hope this changes before I'm dead.

She looks like people on old analog TV's when the vertical hold was misaligned.

richwicks says

propaganda to demonize Russia.

Its the neo marxist globalists and woke that hate Russia and especially Putin. Its a global culture war. Russia is not pro-LGBTQ+XYZ+PI.

It is a white Christian nation that supposedly turned its back to socialism. That makes it even a more target by the Woke's and neo-marxist globalists.

Same left wing authoritarians admire the Chicoms.

“your mask protects me!”

“you need to get vaccinated to stop the spread and make society safe!”

“stay home, save lives!”

these were the endless refrains of the moralizing mandates of coviddom.

this was grade A prime propaganda whose purpose was simple:

to invert the morality of personal health choices and induce people to to things that they did not believe to serve their best interest by framing it as the collective good and therefore an ethical duty.

This is from around 1994, maybe 1995 because OJ Simpson is briefly mentioned. I remember this, dimly. I must have seen it in college.

It was shown once. What you are seeing is an ancient archival of it. Isn't digital preservation great? If you record an audio file in lower bit rates in MP3, you'll lose information, if you record it in higher bit rates, you don't. There's a floor to digital reproduction. You can reduce it, but unless you decrease the bit rate, you don't lose information.

So a copy (even with a different encoder) of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy....

doesn't reduce quality, unless it's PURPOSELY reduced. Wasn't possible with analog and you have to purposely fuck up the copy. You have to try, really hard, to make it unviewable. AVI->h.264->h.265->XVID->AVI doesn't reduce quality, unless you force it. A transcription will not reduce quality, it might increase the file size, but that's it, and you have to use an old codec to do that, or an inferior one.

You have to get below Shannon's law, and that can only be done with a really lousy codec (which I don't think exists now), or by intentionally reducing the bit rate. We have permanent preservation, IF we have permanent storage. Permanent storage is the last thing to do.

War propagandists have a long history of portraying the enemy's evil abuse of babies. In order to enrage Americans enough to want to go fight 'over there,' propagandists often used artist depictions of what they claimed was actually happening; German soldiers killing babies and children with their bayonets.

At the start of the Ukraine war, recall the mainstream media depicting dead children, all at the hands of the evil Russians.



The following is a classic in war propaganda. George H. W. Bush repeated this lie over and over again in an attempt to justify his, and the alliance's, illegal invasion of Iraq.

In this video, (fake) Nurse Nayirah describes the despotic Iraqi soldiers breaking Kuwaiti hospital incubators and throwing babies on the floor to die. The hearing was conducted by holocaust survivor Rep. Tom Lantos, a fervent proponent of of Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. (Israel had a long standing policy to remove Saddam Hussein from power and diminish Iraq's position in the Middle East). It turned out that the 15 year old nurse Nayirah was not a nurse at all, but rather, the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the United States.

Here's the video of Nayirah's testimony. The little girl was quite the actress.

(Video appears in the article. Youtube will not provide a direct link to the video).

Good explanation of what kind of bullshit the government does to derail conversation and how propaganda is done on the Internet.

If you recognize the techniques, point them out. Once you see how propaganda is done, it's much easier to spot.

Good stuff. I've always like Corbett. I've been able to recognize most of these tactics, but never thought about putting names to them. When I see them, I typically just ignore the poster from that point on, but I probably should point them out for others' benefit.

The miasma of anxiety befogging so many brains in our troubled land begins to lift as every narrative served up by the US fascist intel blob goes annoyingly stale and impotent. The worst media meme — that a vicious officialdom is “defending our democracy” — gets laughed out of the room now when repeated incessantly by such shills as Jen Psaki and Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC. Everybody understands they want to “defend our democracy” by cancelling your freedom of speech, pounding you into bankruptcy, and stealing whatever remains of your stuff.

Likewise, everything else, namely: that our doings in Ukraine are a “fight for freedom,” that “white supremacy” lurks just out of sight getting ready to pounce on the “marginized” (who are actually running things, and doing it very badly), that “Joe Biden” turned around the economy, that “voting rights” equals non-citizens getting to vote, that election fraud is a “big lie” (and that the J-6 riot over it was an “insurrection”), and that the Covid vaccines were “safe and effective.”

None of these dishonest persuasions work anymore, and all of the persuasion machinery stands in plain sight like so many nauseating carnival rides. One by one, the rides are flying apart, scattering debris and body parts of the poor slobs who were on the rides all over the fairgrounds. And so, the fear rises in the ones running the carnival.

See what James Howard Kunstler was writing 3 years ago.

I've not looked, but I bet you're going to find only the shit rises to the top, not the cream. Being right at the wrong time, you pay a cost for that, however, you pay a moral cost for being wrong at the right time as well. I will accept when I'm wrong, when I am, but I have a pretty good track record I think. If I'm wrong about that, I'd appreciate you pointing it out, so I can further improve. I've been doing this for 3 decades now.

What was Kunstler saying 5 years ago? 10? 15? Check track records. It's easy to get on the boar and jump off and swim to shore. I've seen so many motherfuckers that do this. You're going to see this too with the covid bullshit "Oh, I never believed it was a pandemic, but..."

https://words.mattiasdesmet.org/p/propaganda-sincere-speech-and-the

What is truly mind boggling, however, is that even when ‘experts’ as Gates and Fauci admit that the vaccine didn’t stop the spreading of the virus, even when the experts of Imperial College admit the mortality rates of the virus were far lower than their models predicted, a major part of the population doesn’t really want to hear it. Never in history it is demonstrated so convincingly that indeed, the most fundamental passion of the human being is not love, not hate, but the passion for ignorance.

Upon a closer consideration, the problem of deception in society is far more complex than just a bunch of manipulative propagandists who mislead the guileless population. It seems that most people don’t care too much about being deceived. They even seem to admire those who deceive them. It makes me think about this quote of Hannah Arendt:

‘The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.' ...

From a psychological point of view, speaking from the soul means to give voice to those things that we truly feel or experience; those things that are usually hidden behind the ideal images. It means saying those things that are not in line with the matrix of social ideal images, dogma’s and norms. Such speech makes us vulnerable, it puts us at risk of excommunication and rejection, in particular when we practice it in the presence of people who use the world of appearances as their major stronghold.

Opposite of Ego speech, sincere speech makes us lose something in the world of appearances and it makes us win something in the real world. It is a kind of speech that emerges from within and literally penetrates through the outer ideal image we hide behind. It quite literally pierces holes in the Ego. And through these holes, a new resonating connection between our essence and that of the world around us can emerge. It is at this level that we can situate the phenomenon of Truth.

This might seem abstract, yet it isn’t. Just try it. Share something that makes you feel vulnerable, something you usually hide from the world, with some trustworthy people. You will immediately feel a deeper connection – from soul to soul. You can sense it almost physically. Practice the art of sincere speech day after day, week after week, month after month, try to make progress step by step, and your intuition will improve step by step. It is at this level that we can understand the connection between sincere speech and the intuition of the samurai – sincere speech makes you aware of the world around you beyond ordinary sensory perception.

The right counterpoint is the realization that if what you say is so unimportant, it would not be so ruthlessly censored on Facebook and Google.

There's literally too much shitstorm of disinformation not to transiently believe in some baloney at some point. That's generally the point of disinformation to begin with.

One also needs to remain somewhat suggestible to be open to information. So, again, what is a general asset can also be twisted into a liability. It's the price you pay for being studied and dissected like a Tavistock mental lab rat and MKUltra target by the demons.

Had the news on for a bit this morning, think it was ABC. Mentioned Afghanistan pull-out and said the US left "seven billion in equipment to for the Afghanistan government ". Clown media trying to rewrite history.
