It’s the Deep State. Watch Tucker’s interview with Jeffrey Sachs, very informative.

Jeffrey Sachs recently endorsed Jill Stein for president. He knows that the Deep State has to go and that the Dems and Repugs are corrupt puppets of it.

Thanks I didn’t know that. I’d never heard Sachs speak before that interview, he seems very intelligent and with a lot of experience, and he has a good heart. We need more like him in government.

Put Sachs next to Mearsheimer in the Dept of Decisions and the USA and the West's sanity would resurrect.

iirc Mearscheimer wants the US to focus on suppressing China? and Sachs back in the day was in the neoliberal camp in reconstructing Eastern Europe. People can change, and Sachs seems to have. I certainly appreciate Mearsheimer's analyses of Ukraine the Russiagate nonsense.

I agree except I see Mearscheimer unwilling to go all the way and openly commit to the fact AIPAC and other influence from the Zionist Nazi politicians and Israel are at the heart of the problem.

Nothing like when a racist describes Jews as Nazis. Good job by you. Did you pick up that trope in a Chan? Or do you just enjoy using a label from the worst thing that ever happened to the Jewish people as an insult.

And you do it so casually, so easily. It really takes the meaning out of the word when you do that.

But what "Nazi" means to a Jewish person isn't something you're really concerned about, is it?

I just saw her announce that they got way more than the sigs needed to be on the NY ballot but once again NY comes up with a new rule to deny them. Wake up serfs, its time to get vicious.

The legal team is getting assembled to dispute this Dem dirty trick, so don't give up hope yet. But we need to be wide awake serfs anyway.

I don't give up hope, because I strangled the the very idea of hope long ago. Hope is a traitor, it turns on you every-time and in many different ways. Hatred is a much better ally, hate picks you back up and dusts you off and strengthens you with conviction.

As Chris Hedges has said "I don't fight fascism cause I think I will win, I fight fascism because it is fascism."

Why restrict choices on any level? You have nothing to lose by voting. Not voting is a strategy welcomed by the system riggers. Why play into their hands?

"You have nothing to lose by voting"

Why prop up a charade with wasted time when you could be overthrowing these mass murderers?

The piece of paper allows one to excuse their cowardice by pretending their piece of paper virtue signalling does anything.

wtf are u talking about? Overthrowing? You must be talking about violence, like, insurrection? Who's going to be doing this overthrowing? You?

I thought Leftists were against violence and definitely against guns. Has that changed?

Yeah, Eezy, that’s CHANGED.

I’m so far left I’m off the charts. But if violent insurrection is required to pump the septic tank known as DC, then so be it.

Oh, and I’m well-armed. We’ve a .38, a .45, a sweet new Kalashnikov and a Bennelli. And

NO, I wouldn’t hesitate to employ them if necessary.

What "leftists"? Ever hear of a thing called reality? If you support these genocidal scum you are an enemy of the entire world. These creatures need overthrowing with extreme prejudice. They only know violence so violence it needs to be.

Spoken like a person of these very specific times. Some of us have lived a goodly time when "signaling" meant no more that that your bridge partner should fold or you could proceed across the intersection when the lights were out when the cop signaled you onward. Imagine: living at a time absent "influencers" "selfies" "Facebook and Twitter" . Some of us vote privately - we don't use it to tell anyone anything to gain a faux sense of self-importance/value from others approving or disapproving how we vote. Your experience of signaling to gain ego significance together with your remarkably intense cynicism perhaps reflectsa generational difference.

Virtue signalling does not have to be public.

It can be an act of self-deception, like the people who donate a penny to a McDonalds charity box and think they're making a world of change. They don't broadcast either - it is feel good tokenism.

People throw votes because to admit voting does not work is to acknowledge they'd need to take some other course of action, and cowardice runs rampant in this day and age. Easier to self-delude, pretend the voting works. They have voting in the CCP... no matter who you vote for, it is still CCP.

And people wonder why the Chinese never revolt and overthrow their oppressive overlords...

I suspect it is human nature to submit and comply. 2020 taught me that much.

"Jeffrey Sachs recently endorsed Jill Stein for president."

He is wise and intelligent, but his endorsement is a facade. He knows that the electoral process will not solve our problems.

Selina Sweet's avatar

Odd. You imply Sach's endorsement is merely an ego attempt at manipulation and his endorsement disingenuous - a "facade." Couldn't his endorsement for Stein be viewed alternatively as a choice for someone who most reflects his own considered judgment and values? An act of integrity? Consider for a moment a couple recent examples of the power of the "vote." Amazon's Long Island warehouse bows to the voice of the workers under Chris Smalls; and three big auto manufacturers bow to the voice of the workers under Shawn Fein. The money behind the riggers - from the same fraternity as corporate owned media platforms - want us to share your disparagement of the right to vote. Witness: the money being poured into Blue State legislatures to disenfranchise us. Why invest money in restricting the vote if the vote is meaningless? An attitude contrary to the one you possess just might be the ticket to disempowering the riggers. "When comparing turnout among the voting-age population in recent national elections in 50 countries, the U.S. ranks 31st." (Pew Research). Feet on the ground (yours and mine) and neighbor to neighbor contact empowers the vote. And reduces the power of the riggers' monied advertising influence.

But it's the only game in town at this point. You got a big enough army, navy, air force, marines and space force of your own to take on the whole of the US government? No? That's what I thought. Stay home and suck your thumb in a corner then while the adults take a stand for what is moral and true.

Such arrogance. Afghanistan, Vietnam and Korea beat the shit out of the US government. They didn't have a navy, airforce or space force.

What are you going to do government bootlicker? Fight both us and the Russians at the same time? You can't even defend Ukraine.

Sorry, I don't get it. Wasn't Sachs part of the cabal that tried to Balkanize Russia in the 1990s. Why are we listening to anything he says? Then, maybe he's doing penance for his life of crime. WTF do I know. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Sachs was. He has since gotten wise.

Kojo's avatar

In the role that Sachs had in the post-soviet era, he had to have been in the CIA at that point. Most of them were, and that is why the place got messed up. They did that on purpose.

That said, he was young then and maybe he saw the error of his ways.

Or maybe he is another one that they have parked and will use as a sheepdog when confidence in the current puppets has expired.

Difficult to judge what's what.

Whatever the case, he has provided a sensible point of view on these matters so far. Unlike RFK Jr who already came out the closet.

What "transition-plan"? Details?

martin's avatar

well, the unwholesome transition from a socialist planned economy to a free market economy by 'shock therapy'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_therapy_(economics). the 90's were a massacre in post-soviet russia. it is quite surprising they didn't return to communism back then, imo. empire lets these neoliberal economists (paul craig roberts helped with reagaomics) devise comprehensive plans to 'guide a country to a free(er) market' and then cherry-picks the stuff they like (tax-cuts, small government, demolition of social safety nets, ....). they gave the pillage that empire planned some academic veneer. sachs said they let him implement the plan as a whole in poland, but they stopped him halfway in russia. he has quite something to make up to russia.

Thank you for the clarification. I first heard of his “reformation” from Matt Ehret. I tend to think your second assessment is closer to the mark. Of course, St. Augustine says that evil men are here on earth for two purposes: to repent or to try the just.

My basic test of “talking heads” is if they sound like they are on our side and they do NOT have a bullet in their head, especially considering his background, then I don’t pay much attention to them.

As the Fifth Agreement states, though, Be skeptical, but listen.

I guess time will tell.
