We are so screwed.

And I feel like it’s about time we stopped saying “Biden did such and such.” Biden is barely functioning and alive so I don’t think he making any calls. His cabinet is doing all of this. So let’s put names to the faces and make them known for the actions they’ve been puppeteering. Biden will be out. It’s important to focus on the players behind the scenes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"We are so screwed."

Indeed, we are.

"And I feel like it’s about time we stopped saying “Biden did such and such.” Biden is barely functioning and alive so I don’t think he making any calls."

I have been saying that for a long time. It irritates me when people refer to the ' Biden administration.' Biden has not once accomplished anything in his political career. He was born a goddamn idiot....now he is braindead.

"So let’s put names to the faces and make them known for the actions they’ve been puppeteering. Biden will be out. It’s important to focus on the players behind the scenes."

It is hard to place names on those who make up the Deep State as they have anonymity. But we know where they reside: in the three-letter acronym agencies: CIA, FBI, NSA, DOS, DOJ, DOD, and these agencies must be cleaned out tooth and nail.

Alternatively - as trustworthy intellects have noted, the members of Democratic Establishment have turned away from being the representatives of the workers in their choices of candidates for us to rubber stamp. Instead opting to preserve their own personal elite interests of power, money and privilege by presenting us to vote for figures chopped off at the knees. And manipulable. Setting us up - not with a true opposition but - with Democratic Party lite candidates (Clinton, Obama). Manifesting as one flank of the Business (corporatized) Party.A man like Shawn Fein or Chris Smalls is his "own" man (like MLK, even JFK).

That is I think true Selina. And the system could hardly be making sure that Party A and PartyB will produce an acceptable (to the dark power wielders) candidate if they were really free to produce as a candidate a JFK (male or female) type people It is not just the POTUS selection system which is skewed but the whole political system . Carefully and intelligently arranged to look like a system of genuine choice but 95%of the time time processing the predetermined result. The other 5% gets dealt with in a nice democratic looking way .As I wrote before JFK and his brother Robert were anomalies. In fact it was Robert's influence that made playboy Jack such a dangerous and unwelcome POTUS.

The reason we say “Biden did this…” is because that’s how you drill it into the normies that the guy whose name they know is the one to hold accountable.

I’m strangely comforted by the possibility that Putin is smart enough, secure enough, and sane enough, to swat away these idiots in the White House and maintain a safe course of action on spite of their provocations. That still leaves the possibility that Nuclear war is the intention of the Israeli-US axis of evil. Something tells me that Gaza is a sort of diversion, and in that case nothing Putin does will matter.

Well putting myself in P's position I don't see what he can do to stop it. It's not a bilateral decision. If one side starts a war then war we shall have. It seems to me that world war three began this week. There's no going back now.

The only reason to destroy nuclear early warning sites is to prepare to at least threaten a nuclear first strike. Did you know that the USA is the only nation with "we'll do a first nuclear strike whenever we feel like it" policy? They changed long ago without publicity or debate. The opinion of the public was not solicited.

The USA is now under military discipline in preparation for world war. Blanket censorship, cops beating up protesters....

The Empire's desperate strategy, if we can call it that, is to threaten the whole world with death in the hopes that the Rest of the World will capitulate rather than die fighting. And if not, well, if the US Empire can't own the world, no one will. The Opposing Powers' desperate strategy is to escalate as slowly as they can get away with, in the hopes that the Empire will implode into civil war before it can reach its goal.

US Civil war is not unlikely. The process of dividing the population against itself has been under way for some time now - neither side will accept the result of the next election, if the country even makes it that far.

My own desperate hope is that both of these artificially created sides can recognise their common enemy - the parasitic predatory class above us, not just in America, not just in the West, but over the whole planet. It emerges from our fearful selfish struggles of dominance and submission. Cooperative fearless solidarity nullifies it. We are out of practice on the latter, but I believe it is a natural human inclination, nonetheless.

Russia has responded to the attacks on its territory by running tactical nuclear weapons drills and today it responded to the attacks on its long range radar systems by moving 11 submarines into the Atlantic Ocean. That should have gotten empire’s attention, but…..

Simplicius has a video of Putin saying that the Russians know that the attacks are being done by nato troops because Ukraine doesn’t have access to satellite information and that the systems are too complicated for Ukrainians to use.

No one voted for nuclear war, but as Kirby said, biden won’t let public opinion derail his support for Israel. The same goes for his support for Ukraine. NATO has decided it’s all or nothing. Sadly the nothing is nuclear war.

The Anglo-American MI6-NSA-CIA PsyWarriors believe that Putin, under the right circumstances, will back down. Since the Wolfowitz "Sole Superpower/Permanent War" doctrine circa 1990, the U.S. has provoked wars and murdered millions with impunity. Putin is the Russian leader they overlooked in their calculus. They thought they had "Finished the Job" with the Azov Nazi proxies in Kiev and their comedian Zelensky. But Putin overturned the Chessboard by rebuilding the Russian nuclear arsenal and organizing the BRICs with Xi Jinping and the Global South. The Anglo-American Money Empire is, like the Madmen who run it, at the end of their rope, twisting in the stratosphere, gambling the house that Putin, the leader of the new humanitarian economic system, will go down with the Nazi SS Titanic instead of resisting, when Russian History has proven otherwise.
