What's your opinion of the events in Azerbaijan and Kosova, John?

[Cool Breeze]

American media is typical of that hack Rick Newman on yahoo, lol

"Fund Ukraine" - he literally wrote that article. Amazing

The argument that Woke is being put away is being put away as some kind of Machiavellian ploy by the elites is nonsense. Western countries are currently filling put all their hotels with migrants while passing laws to make it illegal to say anything about it. There is no way for us to go back the 90s (or even 2010s).

[Yeah]

I was recently in Times Square NYC myself and it's like a human meat grinder. Stinks of weed, Mexicans running around flying the Mexican flag, homeless people left and right. I remember going 10 years ago and it was much nicer.

"Progress" in America obviously stopped a long time ago and has entered reverse.

I have been away for a while, traveling with my wife and enjoying all my time with her. She is doing exceptionally well, and shows no outward signs of her eventually terminal condition. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

I also needed some time away from thinking too much about current events. I cannot influence them, and they are extremely depressing.

Right now, everything that needs to be in place for a collapse is in place. For an economic collapse and worse. Frankly, I don't know what is keeping the wheels on the wagon.

At this point, I don't even know where to begin with comments. I guess I could start with today's news of the Republicans voting out their own House Speaker.

Let me start by stating that there are a couple of things that congress can no longer do. It cannot fail to increase the debt limit, and it cannot stop funding of the government. The last time these things were viable options were in the 1980s (if not earlier).

Both parties are complicit (as is Trump, for those who see him as somehow an "outsider" of both parties) in the deficit spending that has mushroomed government spending to the point that it is impossible to ever reduce it. Heck, its even impossible to stop its parabolic rise. Any half hearted attempt to even try to do so is political suicide and everyone who is in any way competent knows this.

Hence the move to push out the Speaker of the House will only do damage to Republican Party, and will only strengthen the Democrats. My gut feeling is that Trump is actually behind this, as he wants to destroy any part of the Republican Party not beholden to him. And thus, at this point, more than ever before, he is poison to the Republican Party, and will only serve to weaken it even further. Meaning the Democrats, increasingly far-left ones, will have more power and influence.

First, let me thank you again for all
the all the support you've given to this
forum, including financial support, and
to me peronally, over the years. I know
that you've been overwhelmed by caring
for your wife during her illness, and I
gather that those concerns are ongoing,
but I'm glad that you and your wife have
some respite to enjoy life together.

As a 79-year-old Boomer confined to bed
for the rest of my life, I have little
to do every day besides watching the
news, and I fully agree with you that
it's very depressing.


Many people are pointing to the ouster
of the House speaker as a sign of
government dysfunction. And indeed,
today there is no House speaker and
everyone has been sent home, and so the
entire government is frozen in place,
since the Constitution requires a House
speaker to do business. I've heard
several people today that the current
situation is so chaotic that they have
no idea what's going to happen in the
next few days, or even the next few
weeks.

However, I'm much less concerned about
the fact that there's chaos among the
Republicana. I'm much more concerned
about how the Democrats are voting as a
single monolithic left-wing unit. I'm
much more concerned about how the
mainstream media have totally given up
actual reporting, and have joined the
Democrat left-wing Stalinist censorship
regime, and then mocking the Republcans
for having disagreements among
themselves. This is like the Chinese
Communists (and Justin Trudeau) saying
that China's dictatorship is a much
better form of government because they
make decisions quickly, and democracies
don't.

I became concerned in 2020 when the
mainstream media united to censor news
about Hunter's laptop, especially after
it was later proved that they knew that
the censorthip was based on known lies.

Then I became seriously alarmed in
January 2021 when Amazon.com/AWS shut
down parler.com, a large
conservative-oriented social media site,
competing with Twitter, Youtube and
Facebook.

So what I'm depressed about is not so
much the House chaos, but about how
successful the Democrats, led by Ku Klux
Klan activist Joe Biden, have been at
imposing Stalinist policies on the
American people -- launching a war on
the energy industry, pushing gas prices,
food prices and inflatiion up to high
levels, abandoning Afghanistan to the
Taliban, al-Qaeda and ISK (ISIS-K),
flooding the country with illegal
migrants, including military age males
from China, flooding the country with
fentanyl, turning once-beautiful cities,
like San Francisco, Chicago, and New
York into shitholes where the streets
are covered with migrants, crime, feces,
and needles, allowing the massive
slaughter of blacks on the streets,
targeting 75 million Trump supporters as
terrorists and Fascists, target Trump
himself with multiple lawsuits and phony
criminal charges (81 indictments!), and
so forth.

The things that really depress me are
the things I've written about before --
World War III with China, massive
worldwide financial crisis (unstoppable
as you point out), and the rapid growth
of AI technology, which will be heavily
used in the approaching war.

I started writing about these things in
the early 2000s, and many people called
these predictions idiotic. Few people
are calling them idiotic today.

Warren Pollock introduced me to you perhaps 13-14 years ago. I have never doubted you.

Thank you John, and Navigator.

John, you've created an import venue for the discussion of important themes and ideas. I will work to dedicate some time each day to posting, so as to help invigorate the important discussions here.

I agree with you concerning the sad state of our major cities. The extreme left has figured out that by placing minions in the prosecutor's offices they can prevent the enforcement of laws. And yes, this is a much bigger problem than the infighting amongst Republicans (though the Republican self-damage is hampering efforts to fight the extreme left).

I remember a re-vitalization of NYC due to law enforcement deciding on a strategy based on the premise of the "broken window", which was that allowing criminals to get away with minor crimes only emboldened them to commit worse offenses. We now seem to be at the other extreme, only preventing criminal activity if a murder is involved.

These cities show what the USA will end up looking like if the policies of the Extreme Left are enacted across the land. Fortunately, for now, only the inner cities are completely in the thrall of the extreme left democrats. With serious inroads in the extreme liberal states, California, Oregon, Washington, and some in the NorthEast.
