What I really, truly, do not get is why we're being so nice, so polite, so respectful, so considerate with these MUTHERFUCKERS.
THEY ARE BENT ON KILLING OUR CHILDREN.
**THEY ARE BENT ON KILLING MY GRANDCHILDREN.**
They deserve no consideration, no respect, no politeness.
But all a lot of people can think of is, "Ooo... he used the MF word!" Idiots.
Anyone who thinks that "nice" is remotely relevant when blood-crazed fiends toss dice over the bodies and souls of our beautiful babies is either an idiot or a closet fiend themself.
When it comes to these shit-for-brains assholes -- and I mean every stinkin one of them playing games with our lives -- *circumspection means collusion and courtesy means complicity*.
People are walking around like dopes, anesthetized. Numb and dumb, watching it all as if it were some trash movie. Or as if they were the living dead.
Otherwise they'd be screaming bloody murder for the mutherfuckers.
It's just what normal, realistic people do when someone is attacking their babies. They go berserk.
The people I see are too busy checking their pecs or their mascara and worrying if their hair looks good in the back.
Gotta mind the optics, ya know. Berserk just ain't a good look. What would everyone think?
Yeah, but what about our babies they're gonna kill after pumping them full of MAGA bullshit and leftist fascism and the "glories" of war and "service" and "ultimate sacrifice"? What are our babies going to think of us, grown and lying there dying, ripped to shreds, bleeding from every hole, in some alien place that we abandoned them to?
Sorry Millard, I am only on Substack. I can't do Social Media, it almost made me insane. I've never been happier since i quit. I do occasional posts here if I have a pertinent thought and I write a few poems. Feel free to browse ;-).
Now I see I've come across you before, I remember "Reluctant Misanthrope". Yeah, I relate. I love people, but they won't let me, lol. Pretty much all I see are a bunch of life-sized sock puppets. People are easy to love when they're honest. All that other shit they want me to pay attention to? Hate the fucking stuff, always have. It's why I tried a few parties in 10th grade and never went again. Phony people trying to make phony fun. My 50th class reunion is in 2 months. Never been to one, never plan to.
Yeah I had no doubts about that. And ditto here, all the more because I feel so helpless to do anything about it. Deed's been done. I've got a bunch of family members with who knows what shit floating around in their blood doing who knows what. I'd be freaking out right now except that's not going to help anyone. Deeply worried though. All I can hope is that most of them got it from one of the placebo batches.
****People are walking around like dopes, anesthetized. Numb and dumb, watching it all as if it were some trash movie. Or as if they were the living dead.****
Not ALL people. Joe Rogan isn't walking around like a dope. He's advocated for shooting the homeless as one of many solutions. Some people are trying to get shit done and Joe Rogan is one of them.
Yes, I was being sarcastic of course. So long as there are a bevy of Joe Rogans to corral the disillusioned, dazed and confused wayward riff raff and keep them running in circles, nothing will change. For many, despite their protestations, it's all just entertainment and a gravy train. Just another way to exploit a buck or two or more.
Sometimes I can't tell, but it's getting better! 😁
His interviews of Peter McCullough and Robert Mallone were stellar, though. McCullough and Mallone were stellar, that is. See McCullough's testimony to the Texas Senate Committee on Health & Human Services on June 27. He was spectacular.
That legislative chairperson is a scumbag extraordinaire so an endorsement from IT, and IT is an IT, hardly inspires confidence.
I wonder what McCullough's and Malone's stance is on abortion.
Relying on the vaccines as the only safeguard against the ravages of COVFEFE-45 is, and always was, a fool's errand. Letting COVFEFE-45 run wild is a fool's errand too. There is no such thing as herd immunity when it comes to this virus and relying on the vaccines, putting all the eggs in that basket as the West has largely done , is effectively ultimately letting COVFEFE-45 run wild.
Malone and McCullough overstate the case against the vaccines and they take umbrage with the vaccines for the wrong reasons. If the only response to COVFEFE-45 is the vaccines, then I do not support the vaccines or vaccine mandates. I do believe the vaccines have some side effects but I don't believe it is as widespread as what Malone and McCullough claim and I also think the State isn't helpful by not being more transparent about the side effects of the vaccines. For example, the vaccines cause debilitating vertigo in quite a few people that can last a couple of months but the State will not come clean about this so it leads to distrust.
All politicians are scumbags, no argument there. I said nothing recommending her. The fact that she's a scumbag *underscores* my point. Even scumbags get it.
If you're asking about their stances on abortion, you're missing the whole point. This isn't about opinions, it's about facts they're bringing to light. If you're not aware of those facts or you're not sure if they're representing them honestly, accurately, then you've got homework to do, right?
So, HOW do "Malone and McCullough overstate the case against the vaccines" ? Specifically. What have they overstated. Specifically?
What do you think are the right reasons to take umbrage with the vaccines?
My sister died from a massive stroke just a couple of months after getting vaxxed. Very healthy all her life. Active, in good shape, just finished her certificate program. She was going to do ultrasound for pregnant women. Vivacious lady. Dropped just like that.
VAERS reports LESS THAN 5% of all "adverse events". I'm being generous. The actual reporting rate is closer to 1% of actual cases.
And how could they have euphemized mortality and morbidity any cleaner, more sterile and clinical than "adverse events". 🤣
VAERS is *ignored* by the CDC (by their own admission.)
Hard to tell if the vaccines are doing the kind of damage that they claim, (although Malone is a seminal member of the team that invented the mRNA tech, and McCullough is the most peer reviewed publisher of medical papers in history?) but without a transparent VAERS system, and with people who are making millions off of vaccines by patents and pulling strings, suppressing other medications, and running interference on behalf of Pharmaceutical corporations.
It is telling that people who were paralyzed by these vaccines were gaslighted by the medical industry and the bureaucrats who are in regulatory capture com0letely ignored them when invited to testify in front of congress.
No one from NIAID, CDC, FDA, showed for the hearings even though there were placards with the names on them at an empty table. Didn't even send associates.
He's given many speeches of this type(the most recent at the globalist talkfest at Davos pre conflict} and that would appear be be a large reason for the vindictive non negiotiable stance of western powers. Plus their lobbyists are making a killing, literally and financially.
Putin is a cunning and tough political operator with more intellectual vigour than the combined thinking capacity of all the western leaders. He knows the end game and doesn't want Russia to descend into the mushy idiocy of western societies. Russia has problems enough of it's own to deal with after the Soviet decades.
Putin disrupted the rape of Russia by the West. They will never forgive him for that. The non-negotiability is as much a function of Western incapacity as it is of malice. The erosion of ability at the top of the US and European political system makes it difficult to conduct traditional diplomacy of the kind that made d'etente possible in the 70s and 80s. Even hardline Cold Warriors like Nixon and Reagan were capable of talking to Russian leaders in a civil and respectful way that Biden, Bojo, Macron or Schultz are simply unable to do. For several decades big business has wanted only compliant and mediocre people running the West. Now we/they are stuck with nonentities and weaklings who are unable to perform their duties.
Putin is a serious man. He speaks fluent German and (possibly) English too, though he never speaks English in front of foreigners. He has a degree in law and is very keen to raise standards of performance across the Russian civil service. He is also very curious intellectually and has spent time in the Kremlin archives looking up how decisions were made on geopolitics in the 20s, 30s and later. He has also instructed regional governors to read his preferred philosopher (Ivan Ilyin). Ultimately, he is thoughtful and intelligent. No one like him running any country in the West.
No. Autocracy has its value. Enlightened autocrats (the ultimate example would be Dom Pedro in Brazil in the 19th c) can offer a better alternative than corrupt and selfish oligarchies. But there is no point in daydreaming about an enlightened autocrat in any Western state today. The last charismatic and effective Western leader who came close was Charles De Gaulle who was amazingly effective (and deeply hated by Washington because of it). Macron, with his 'Jupiter' affectations is simply absurd.
After Fauci the masses will never accept anyone with a medical/scientific background. The optics simply would not work. A talk show presenter or a celebrity yoga instructor on the other hand....
Bullshit. The rape of Russia was orchestrated by Western intelligence working with corrupt KGB generals. The former sussed out Yeltsin when he visited the US with Gorbachev, the latter arranged a failed 'coup' attempt to give Yeltsin the chance to play the hero. Putin infiltrated the Sobchak machine in St Petersburg and was recruited by Yeltsin, but Putin was backed by those elements of the old KGB and their allies who were fed up with the Yeltsin gang and their Western friends. There is no reliable evidence that Putin is personally corrupt.
Bullshit. He merely wanted to be and wants to remain the mafia boss over the Russian oligarchical crime family versus the West. He's a bird of a feather.
Yes, brilliant stuff. Only problem is he is creating his own little empire using the same playbook from the WEF. You don't actually think that Putin is a good guy who want to rule over a free people do you? He's everybit the technocrat psycho as all the others, only he want to do it on his terms, not the US's.
Exactly. Also, I'm not so sure he's not part of the team and just playing his part as outside agitator. Things aren't adding up. The official narrative has too many holes.
I certainly understand that, after a half-century of anticommunism, Americans are extremely distrustful of Russians. Myself, I'm extremely distrustful of the neocons and the Deep State. They won't be satisfied with anything less that either destroying Russia as an independent nation, or destroying the World.
Hearing Putin express the critique that I personally have of the West is thrilling, putting aside for the moment the question of whether he is cynically manipulating people like me. It's great to have someone powerful publicly confront the obnoxious "Rules-based order" (which is a bogus term invented by American Exceptionalists to avoid being confined by international law). To put this in Caitlin's terms, he breaks the narrative of the globalist Empire. This is the best development in geopolitics that I can think of.
I was very aware in 2008 that Hope and Change was a fraud perpetrated by Obama to appear to be a Progressive. People on the left were totally taken in by him. I recognize the possibility that Putin is doing something similar. I frankly don't care. If he is able to get an Empire-disrupting message out there to the rest of the world, and organize them to Not Obey, that is a win, in my mind.
Putin's personal sincerity is less important than the geopolitical effects of his actions. The West is now being forced to deal with resource-exporting countries on a basis that they have never had to do in the past. In addition, countries that are seeking development on their own terms (rather than those of Washington, London, Brussels) can re-set their relationships to take account of Russia's strength (and that of China). Ordinary people in the US and throughout the West can see how incompetent and unreliable our elites are (and how reckless). The uncontested power of Western multinationals and oligarchies and that of the governments that act on their behalf is now contested and, better yet, successfully constrained.
Yeah, I suppose you can take some positive from it in the respects that you mention. Unfortunately the fallout from the wars, whether they are in fact being mutaully engineered by both sides for the global order or whether Putin really does want his multipolar world, will end up making life incredibly and needlessly difficult. I dont think it matters that it might make people realise just how bad their "leaders" are as the damage is done, and any new folk waking from their slumber are about 3 years too late to the party. Sorry, I'd love to be more positive, but the shits going to hit the fan, and its a enormous shit and huge fan, and I don't have big enough dustpan.
Putin is simply describing reality. The erosion of US industry and manufacturing and the declining strength of the US relative to the BRICS countries is a fact of life. The US cannot expect to rule the world. At best the US can dominate a shrunken empire (Europe, Canada, Australasia and Japan) but the limits of US power elsewhere are pretty obvious. Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia are defiant...Mexico feels sufficient confidence to disagree with Washington over Ukraine. The failure of any country on the mainland of Asia to support sanctions against Russia (with the exception of South Korea) indicates that American weakness is widely understood, even if it is not acknowledged in the Western mainstream media. The US seizure of Russian cash reserves will unravel the whole global system of trade, settlement and exchange. The US century is over.
Domestically, the US is experiencing steep declines in fertility, collapsing family formation and the erosion of economic security on a mass scale. Liberal capitalism's greatest achievement (the integration of the masses into the capitalist order via formal full-time work and widespread prosperity) is crumbling. What we are seeing is a systemic crisis.
There is no negotiating, cutting deals, augmenting trade for mutual benefit or equitable trade with the US. Their attitude is give it to us or we will destabilize your country, assassinate your elected representatives and then if that doesn't work out level the targeted country with air strikes. Then crank out Hollywood movies glamorizing the central bankers' death cult warfare model.
Did anyone hear the latest? An ex-US Navy sailor blew the whistle on the downing of TWA 800. He alleges with evidence that has been confirmed the US navy off the east coast accidentally knocked TWA 800 down with a ship-to-air missile in a war exercise. So much for their over exaggerated technology. That is how the empire works. Kill 230 Americans then cover it up just like what was done with the flying events of 9/11.
Nemesis approaches for the empire because the rest of the world simply will not tolerate those predators anymore.
Caitlin...I have long been a follower of yours but admit to finding some of your rhetoric after the Russian invasion of Ukraine hard to hear though to your credit you did mix in at least one article which demonstrated deep appreciation for the emotional and intellectual work required to escape the government propaganda of a lifetime. I am in my 80th year, a political leftist and activist since age 17 and involved in the free speech movement that ignited Mario Savio when he was an undergraduate at Queens College in NYC. Though a registered Democrat until 2016 I rarely voted for their presidential candidates, fully engaged in activism for civil rights and against the invasion of Vietnam and so many more causes thereafter. I embraced a Marxist worldview but always with a human rights edge to it. I am now living and working in China for the last 12 years, having given up on my mother country as it devolves into full blown fascism. My mission in China is to train career and life design counselors using the ancient wisdom of the i Ching to plant the seeds that will lead at least some of them away from the dead end of consumerism and towards careers and life choices that lead to sustainable civilization. I understand your point of view about this proxy war in Ukraine but suggest you read, if you haven't already, Andrew Tanner and Umair Haque on Medium. Mearsheimer and Kissinger weirdly converge with you in your passionate wish for us to avoid Armageddon but others of us are not confident that negotiations with Putin will hold him back from further grievous aggression. There is great though not much public knowledge of the great power struggle taking place at all levels of the government here in China. With succession to be decided this fall, those of us who are expats here have found China increasingly closing to the outside world since 2013. We see this as a very dangerous turn as the world needs greater collaboration between world powers to retreat the domination and exploitation models currently in place. Survival of life itself is very much at stake. This article you have written has the tone and clarity that is needed. Taking a hatchet to the fascists is likely the only way forward but we need to drag along the centrists and traditional liberals of greater age to do that. I love the Chinese Millennials and Generation Z here even more. There is a restiveness and hunger for a better quality of life emerging in spite of the shift to State Capitalism that stands to get in the way of a more humane and truer socialism.
Yes, give America's nuclear codes to Russia so they can initiate a first strike and America the empire will be no more and the rest of the planet can live in peace and harmony and in bliss with nature.
Yet another book? No thanks. No more paid subscriptions either, thank you very much, not that I have ever paid for a subscription or ever will. Everyone's cashing in on that Empire Dollar.
Your articles are so brutal/devastating to read because that’s how things actually are “out there.” I love when you alternate between truth bombs and reminders that we need to stay spiritually whole to get through these times. Our survival depends on it. 🦋
Ah Caitlin, I think your vision is already happening. It won't get around to a war. It's already fizzling like a firework dud that just blows off a few fingers. And they won't be ours.
I think a great start has been to reverse Roe v Wade and force women to bring rape babies to term and birth them. That's what I call takin' on da man. Right?
One of Caitlin’s best in my opinion. I had breakfast with a long time friend who acknowledged how upside down our world has become. So I asked him what he knew, about Klaus and the Great Reset, John Mearscheimer on US meddling in Ukraine, WEF and Trudeau’s affiliation, and other obvious tid bits of reality. The end result upon finishing breakfast was he said “now I’m depressed”. The facts are truly overwhelming, so much so that to accept them puts most comfortable people into immediate denial. We are modern day Romans enjoying a comfortable existence oblivious to the gathering hoards who resent our success and will kill us in the end assuming they will simply take our place. The dark ages was the result with Rome and our future looks even worse since all of it depends on a single source to maintain it, ELECTRICITY.
Is this why they're all knocking down the door clamoring to get into America? Because they want to kill "us" for "our" success? It sure is a weird way of showing it. Why are they not clamoring to get into China or Russia?
Please, people, stop clamoring to come to America. I'm imploring you. Listen to the T. Paines of the world and turn around and head back to from where you came. America is not the dream you think it is. Try Russia or China instead. Thank you.
They are clamoring to get into Russia...at least immigrants from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan etc are. There are millions of guest workers from the former USSR in Russia at the moment and Moscow is doing its best to avoid letting the problem get out of hand. Fear of mass migration is driving the Kremlin's push for economic development in Central Asia.
****Companies in Russia hit by the international sanctions imposed in reprisal for the invasion of Ukraine are increasingly exploring ways to relocate to neighboring countries, including Kazakhstan, according to entrepreneurs working in the export sector.
Speaking at a press conference on March 23, Alexander Tsygankov, a representative from KazakhExport, a state-owned Nur-Sultan-based export insurance company, said that some are looking to use Kazakhstan as a transit nation for goods, while others want to move production facilities there altogether.
Kazakhstan’s development institutions, including KazakhExport, which is designed to support the export of non-mineral resource goods, is adapting to meet the challenge on that unfolding situation, Tsygankov said, without providing specific details.
Kirill Ledentsov, the director for logistics at Yekaterinburg-based freight company KIT, confirmed at the same briefing that Russian businesses have begun bringing in goods through Kazakhstan as a result of the channel of goods coming in from Europe drying up entirely. The number of established routes for goods from China, meanwhile, is limited, Ledentsov said.
“Everyone is doing experiments, trying to explore alternative options for imports and exports,” Ledentsov said. “It will take some time for the chains to stabilize.”
Talk of business flight has been largely anecdotal so far, but there is now one confirmed example. Earlier this week, Ramil Mukhoryapov, the head of a major IT company in Kazakhstan, revealed that a Russian-founded cab-hailing app, InDriver, is poised to move to Almaty.
“The strongest people from Russia (and the world) will come to live in Kazakhstan, pay taxes, spend money, train and transfer knowledge and technology to the people [of Kazakhstan]," Mukhoryapov wrote on his Instagram account, on which he also posted an image of himself posing with Arsen Tomsky, the founder and chief executive of InDriver.****
****Russia has been a top destination for millions of Central Asian migrant workers since the collapse of the Soviet Union three decades ago. A much smaller portion of the region's laborers went to Kazakhstan in the first years after the U.S.S.R.'s demise.
But that number has been steadily growing since 2014, when Russia faced an economic downturn and the sudden collapse of its currency. The declining value of the ruble meant migrants would take home considerably less money after exchanging it for their local currency.
According to official statistics, the number of Uzbek migrant workers in Kazakhstan has increased at least tenfold in the last five years.
Before the pandemic, there were an estimated 1 million Central Asian migrants working in Kazakhstan. The exact number there now is unknown because a significant portion of them work illegally for private employers, avoiding taxes and exploiting their visa-free stays.****
Why aren’t they clamoring to go to China? Could it be China doesn’t want them? Where else would they want to go but the most comfortable country, the land of opportunity. Rome fell from an invasion of the same quest to join the good life even if it was by force and in the end destroyed what they were seeking.
That's Plan A. Plan B, not to be confused with the soon-to-be-outlawed birth control of the same name, will be to storm the Capitol Building every January 6th until the mission is accomplished and the sacred hallowed halls are turned into a public latrine with shit on the floors and walls.
Those systems which financially incentivise war have been in place for a very long time - in fact, I suspect they form the key infrastructure of our world. So dismantling them is indeed necessary - but also a herculean task - let's hope not an impossible one. Somehow, the movie/video game we are living in is set up so that aggression, greed, and the urge to power are selected for...
Finally, something I disagree with Caitlin on. Gen Z. "They're inventing their own culture all on their own and using their own means of communication to express it. This culture is developing exponentially faster than any other in history..."
Gen-Z culture is Roblox sandcastles of great complexity, explosions of creative energy from nowhere creating unique communities bootstrapping their own novel mythologie... More free from the weight of inherited culture than previous generations for sure, but swept away by the next tide; and this more than anything else is what's making the generation gap.
Those people suffering from the sanctions are not the Russians - who consider 6000 + sanctions some kinda absurd aberration, but so-called US Western allies and the West itself. The best chance of avoiding apocalypse is for these "accidental" victims to say, "nah, we don't buy it: let the Dem and Rep politicos, but Dem mostly, who want this war be the first to starve and freeze in the dark. Not to mention walk miles to work every day while starving, and If they don't yell uncle, we'll take our turn on the rack."
What I really, truly, do not get is why we're being so nice, so polite, so respectful, so considerate with these MUTHERFUCKERS.
THEY ARE BENT ON KILLING OUR CHILDREN.
**THEY ARE BENT ON KILLING MY GRANDCHILDREN.**
They deserve no consideration, no respect, no politeness.
But all a lot of people can think of is, "Ooo... he used the MF word!" Idiots.

What are our babies going to think of us, grown and lying there dying, ripped to shreds, bleeding from every hole, in some alien place that we abandoned them to?
What about them?
Hi Millard. We share the same thoughts. Nice to meet you.
Likewise Rob. You on FaceplantBook?
Sorry Millard, I am only on Substack. I can't do Social Media, it almost made me insane. I've never been happier since i quit. I do occasional posts here if I have a pertinent thought and I write a few poems. Feel free to browse ;-).

The misanthrope name isn't really a true reflection. But I do hate having to watch people slowly kill themselves through complete ignorance.
Yeah I had no doubts about that. And ditto here, all the more because I feel so helpless to do anything about it. Deed's been done. I've got a bunch of family members with who knows what shit floating around in their blood doing who knows what. I'd be freaking out right now except that's not going to help anyone.

Sweet, will do!

As far as "Not ALL people", don't fall for the Elephant Mouse fallacy. But then again, facetious...

Hey, "just say 'Nah!"...It's gonna do it..
Kinda the very same empathy anemia I'm talking about. Gonna do what, exactly?
Putin gave an extraordinary speech to a conference in Moscow:
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/new-world-order-coming-putin-blasts-globalist-ideology-totalitarian
He calls for a multipolar world free from the oppression of the "Golden Billion" Western neocolonialists. Brilliant stuff!
He's given many speeches of this type(the most recent at the globalist talkfest at Davos pre conflict} and that would appear be be a large reason for the vindictive non negiotiable stance of western powers. Plus their lobbyists are making a killing, literally and financially.

The erosion of ability at the top of the US and European political system makes it difficult to conduct traditional diplomacy of the kind that made d'etente possible in the 70s and 80s. Even hardline Cold Warriors like Nixon and Reagan were capable of talking to Russian leaders in a civil and respectful way that Biden, Bojo, Macron or Schultz are simply unable to do. For several decades big business has wanted only compliant and mediocre people running the West. Now we/they are stuck with nonentities and weaklings who are unable to perform their duties.
Putin is a serious man. He speaks fluent German and (possibly) English too, though he never speaks English in front of foreigners. He has a degree in law and is very keen to raise standards of performance across the Russian civil service. He is also very curious intellectually and has spent time in the Kremlin archives looking up how decisions were made on geopolitics in the 20s, 30s and later. He has also instructed regional governors to read his preferred philosopher (Ivan Ilyin). Ultimately, he is thoughtful and intelligent. No one like him running any country in the West.
****No one like him running any country in the West.****
Are you advocating for autocracy? That's the only way there could be someone like him in the West.
No. Autocracy has its value. Enlightened autocrats (the ultimate example would be Dom Pedro in Brazil in the 19th c) can offer a better alternative than corrupt and selfish oligarchies. But there is no point in daydreaming about an enlightened autocrat in any Western state today. The last charismatic and effective Western leader who came close was Charles De Gaulle who was amazingly effective (and deeply hated by Washington because of it). Macron, with his 'Jupiter' affectations is simply absurd.
****But there is no point in daydreaming about an enlightened autocrat in any Western state today.****
What about Dr. Robert Malone? Isn't he a man for this day?
After Fauci the masses will never accept anyone with a medical/scientific background. The optics simply would not work. A talk show presenter or a celebrity yoga instructor on the other hand....
He did not disrupt it, he inserted himself into the equation and usurped it so he could lead it. Well, he and his former KGB comrades to be honest.
Bullshit. The rape of Russia was orchestrated by Western intelligence working with corrupt KGB generals. The former sussed out Yeltsin when he visited the US with Gorbachev, the latter arranged a failed 'coup' attempt to give Yeltsin the chance to play the hero. Putin infiltrated the Sobchak machine in St Petersburg and was recruited by Yeltsin, but Putin was backed by those elements of the old KGB and their allies who were fed up with the Yeltsin gang and their Western friends. There is no reliable evidence that Putin is personally corrupt.
****There is no reliable evidence that Putin is personally corrupt.****
That's rich. You really do have a clever sense of humor.
Thanks...in clown-world jokes are a form of high art. Even the geek act needs smarts.
Bullshit. He merely wanted to be and wants to remain the mafia boss over the Russian oligarchical crime family versus the West. He's a bird of a feather.
Yes, brilliant stuff. Only problem is he is creating his own little empire using the same playbook from the WEF. You don't actually think that Putin is a good guy who want to rule over a free people do you? He's everybit the technocrat psycho as all the others, only he want to do it on his terms, not the US's.
Exactly. Also, I'm not so sure he's not part of the team and just playing his part as outside agitator. Things aren't adding up. The official narrative has too many holes.
I certainly understand that, after a half-century of anticommunism, Americans are extremely distrustful of Russians. Myself, I'm extremely distrustful of the neocons and the Deep State. They won't be satisfied with anything less that either destroying Russia as an independent nation, or destroying the World.
Hearing Putin express the critique that I personally have of the West is thrilling, putting aside for the moment the question of whether he is cynically manipulating people like me. It's great to have someone powerful publicly confront the obnoxious "Rules-based order" (which is a bogus term invented by American Exceptionalists to avoid being confined by international law). To put this in Caitlin's terms, he breaks the narrative of the globalist Empire. This is the best development in geopolitics that I can think of.
I was very aware in 2008 that Hope and Change was a fraud perpetrated by Obama to appear to be a Progressive. People on the left were totally taken in by him. I recognize the possibility that Putin is doing something similar. I frankly don't care. If he is able to get an Empire-disrupting message out there to the rest of the world, and organize them to Not Obey, that is a win, in my mind.
Putin's personal sincerity is less important than the geopolitical effects of his actions. The West is now being forced to deal with resource-exporting countries on a basis that they have never had to do in the past. In addition, countries that are seeking development on their own terms (rather than those of Washington, London, Brussels) can re-set their relationships to take account of Russia's strength (and that of China). Ordinary people in the US and throughout the West can see how incompetent and unreliable our elites are (and how reckless). The uncontested power of Western multinationals and oligarchies and that of the governments that act on their behalf is now contested and, better yet, successfully constrained.
Yeah, I suppose you can take some positive from it in the respects that you mention. Unfortunately the fallout from the wars, whether they are in fact being mutaully engineered by both sides for the global order or whether Putin really does want his multipolar world, will end up making life incredibly and needlessly difficult. I dont think it matters that it might make people realise just how bad their "leaders" are as the damage is done, and any new folk waking from their slumber are about 3 years too late to the party. Sorry, I'd love to be more positive, but the shits going to hit the fan, and its a enormous shit and huge fan, and I don't have big enough dustpan.
Putin is simply describing reality. The erosion of US industry and manufacturing and the declining strength of the US relative to the BRICS countries is a fact of life. The US cannot expect to rule the world. At best the US can dominate a shrunken empire (Europe, Canada, Australasia and Japan) but the limits of US power elsewhere are pretty obvious. Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia are defiant...Mexico feels sufficient confidence to disagree with Washington over Ukraine. The failure of any country on the mainland of Asia to support sanctions against Russia (with the exception of South Korea) indicates that American weakness is widely understood, even if it is not acknowledged in the Western mainstream media. The US seizure of Russian cash reserves will unravel the whole global system of trade, settlement and exchange. The US century is over.
Domestically, the US is experiencing steep declines in fertility, collapsing family formation and the erosion of economic security on a mass scale. Liberal capitalism's greatest achievement (the integration of the masses into the capitalist order via formal full-time work and widespread prosperity) is crumbling. What we are seeing is a systemic crisis.
****The US century is over.****
And civilization as we knew it has run its course.
There is no negotiating, cutting deals, augmenting trade for mutual benefit or equitable trade with the US. Their attitude is give it to us or we will destabilize your country, assassinate your elected representatives and then if that doesn't work out level the targeted country with air strikes. Then crank out Hollywood movies glamorizing the central bankers' death cult warfare model.
Did anyone hear the latest? An ex-US Navy sailor blew the whistle on the downing of TWA 800. He alleges with evidence that has been confirmed the US navy off the east coast accidentally knocked TWA 800 down with a ship-to-air missile in a war exercise. So much for their over exaggerated technology. That is how the empire works. Kill 230 Americans then cover it up just like what was done with the flying events of 9/11.
Nemesis approaches for the empire because the rest of the world simply will not tolerate those predators anymore.
Trump in 2024 is our only hope.
Do you have a link to the news, please? I hadn't seen that.
Caitlin...I have long been a follower of yours but admit to finding some of your rhetoric after the Russian invasion of Ukraine hard to hear though to your credit you did mix in at least one article which demonstrated deep appreciation for the emotional and intellectual work required to escape the government propaganda of a lifetime. I am in my 80th year, a political leftist and activist since age 17 and involved in the free speech movement that ignited Mario Savio when he was an undergraduate at Queens College in NYC. Though a registered Democrat until 2016 I rarely voted for their presidential candidates, fully engaged in activism for civil rights and against the invasion of Vietnam and so many more causes thereafter. I embraced a Marxist worldview but always with a human rights edge to it. I am now living and working in China for the last 12 years, having given up on my mother country as it devolves into full blown fascism. My mission in China is to train career and life design counselors using the ancient wisdom of the i Ching to plant the seeds that will lead at least some of them away from the dead end of consumerism and towards careers and life choices that lead to sustainable civilization. I understand your point of view about this proxy war in Ukraine but suggest you read, if you haven't already, Andrew Tanner and Umair Haque on Medium. Mearsheimer and Kissinger weirdly converge with you in your passionate wish for us to avoid Armageddon but others of us are not confident that negotiations with Putin will hold him back from further grievous aggression. There is great though not much public knowledge of the great power struggle taking place at all levels of the government here in China. With succession to be decided this fall, those of us who are expats here have found China increasingly closing to the outside world since 2013. We see this as a very dangerous turn as the world needs greater collaboration between world powers to retreat the domination and exploitation models currently in place. Survival of life itself is very much at stake. This article you have written has the tone and clarity that is needed. Taking a hatchet to the fascists is likely the only way forward but we need to drag along the centrists and traditional liberals of greater age to do that. I love the Chinese Millennials and Generation Z here even more. There is a restiveness and hunger for a better quality of life emerging in spite of the shift to State Capitalism that stands to get in the way of a more humane and truer socialism.
Someone, and it won't be Congress, will need to get the football away from POTUS.
Yes, give America's nuclear codes to Russia so they can initiate a first strike and America the empire will be no more and the rest of the planet can live in peace and harmony and in bliss with nature.

Aaron Good and Ben Norton discuss Good's book, "American Exception".
Yet another book? No thanks. No more paid subscriptions either, thank you very much, not that I have ever paid for a subscription or ever will. Everyone's cashing in on that Empire Dollar.
The more we fight the Russians with sanctions and weapons the stronger they get. We're only hurting ourselves. And that could be a good thing.
There's the "we" again. There is no "we." Speak for yourself.
Your articles are so brutal/devastating to read because that’s how things actually are “out there.” I love when you alternate between truth bombs and reminders that we need to stay spiritually whole to get through these times. Our survival depends on it. 🦋
Ah Caitlin, I think your vision is already happening. It won't get around to a war. It's already fizzling like a firework dud that just blows off a few fingers. And they won't be ours.
I think I agree with this sentiment. I'm gonna check you out. In a good way of course. I ain't no robot dog.
we shall all DO whatever we can in order to force the change for justice and peace, as the fuckers are not gonna volunteer to change their own system.
I think a great start has been to reverse Roe v Wade and force women to bring rape babies to term and birth them. That's what I call takin' on da man. Right?
One of Caitlin’s best in my opinion. I had breakfast with a long time friend who acknowledged how upside down our world has become. So I asked him what he knew, about Klaus and the Great Reset, John Mearscheimer on US meddling in Ukraine, WEF and Trudeau’s affiliation, and other obvious tid bits of reality. The end result upon finishing breakfast was he said “now I’m depressed”. The facts are truly overwhelming, so much so that to accept them puts most comfortable people into immediate denial. We are modern day Romans enjoying a comfortable existence oblivious to the gathering hoards who resent our success and will kill us in the end assuming they will simply take our place. The dark ages was the result with Rome and our future looks even worse since all of it depends on a single source to maintain it, ELECTRICITY.
Is this why they're all knocking down the door clamoring to get into America? Because they want to kill "us" for "our" success? It sure is a weird way of showing it. Why are they not clamoring to get into China or Russia?
Please, people, stop clamoring to come to America. I'm imploring you. Listen to the T. Paines of the world and turn around and head back to from where you came. America is not the dream you think it is. Try Russia or China instead. Thank you.
They are clamoring to get into Russia...at least immigrants from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan etc are. There are millions of guest workers from the former USSR in Russia at the moment and Moscow is doing its best to avoid letting the problem get out of hand. Fear of mass migration is driving the Kremlin's push for economic development in Central Asia.
https://eurasianet.org/russian-companies-eye-relocation-to-kazakhstan-amid-sanctions
****Companies in Russia hit by the international sanctions imposed in reprisal for the invasion of Ukraine are increasingly exploring ways to relocate to neighboring countries, including Kazakhstan, according to entrepreneurs working in the export sector.
Speaking at a press conference on March 23, Alexander Tsygankov, a representative from KazakhExport, a state-owned Nur-Sultan-based export insurance company, said that some are looking to use Kazakhstan as a transit nation for goods, while others want to move production facilities there altogether.
Kazakhstan’s development institutions, including KazakhExport, which is designed to support the export of non-mineral resource goods, is adapting to meet the challenge on that unfolding situation, Tsygankov said, without providing specific details.
Kirill Ledentsov, the director for logistics at Yekaterinburg-based freight company KIT, confirmed at the same briefing that Russian businesses have begun bringing in goods through Kazakhstan as a result of the channel of goods coming in from Europe drying up entirely. The number of established routes for goods from China, meanwhile, is limited, Ledentsov said.
“Everyone is doing experiments, trying to explore alternative options for imports and exports,” Ledentsov said. “It will take some time for the chains to stabilize.”
Talk of business flight has been largely anecdotal so far, but there is now one confirmed example. Earlier this week, Ramil Mukhoryapov, the head of a major IT company in Kazakhstan, revealed that a Russian-founded cab-hailing app, InDriver, is poised to move to Almaty.
“The strongest people from Russia (and the world) will come to live in Kazakhstan, pay taxes, spend money, train and transfer knowledge and technology to the people [of Kazakhstan]," Mukhoryapov wrote on his Instagram account, on which he also posted an image of himself posing with Arsen Tomsky, the founder and chief executive of InDriver.****
****They are clamoring to get into Russia...at least immigrants from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan etc are.****
https://www.rferl.org/a/kazakhstan-central-asia-workers/31288542.html
****Russia has been a top destination for millions of Central Asian migrant workers since the collapse of the Soviet Union three decades ago. A much smaller portion of the region's laborers went to Kazakhstan in the first years after the U.S.S.R.'s demise.
But that number has been steadily growing since 2014, when Russia faced an economic downturn and the sudden collapse of its currency. The declining value of the ruble meant migrants would take home considerably less money after exchanging it for their local currency.
According to official statistics, the number of Uzbek migrant workers in Kazakhstan has increased at least tenfold in the last five years.
Before the pandemic, there were an estimated 1 million Central Asian migrants working in Kazakhstan. The exact number there now is unknown because a significant portion of them work illegally for private employers, avoiding taxes and exploiting their visa-free stays.****
Why aren’t they clamoring to go to China? Could it be China doesn’t want them? Where else would they want to go but the most comfortable country, the land of opportunity. Rome fell from an invasion of the same quest to join the good life even if it was by force and in the end destroyed what they were seeking.
"Just say Nah" is your suggested response to the army of lethal robots the empire will unleash on us?
That's Plan A. Plan B, not to be confused with the soon-to-be-outlawed birth control of the same name, will be to storm the Capitol Building every January 6th until the mission is accomplished and the sacred hallowed halls are turned into a public latrine with shit on the floors and walls.
Those systems which financially incentivise war have been in place for a very long time - in fact, I suspect they form the key infrastructure of our world. So dismantling them is indeed necessary - but also a herculean task - let's hope not an impossible one. Somehow, the movie/video game we are living in is set up so that aggression, greed, and the urge to power are selected for...
This is the robot that scares me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In02i--rBuw
Scary yes. For about what, 20 minutes? The batteries will always be a pretty big limiting factor imho.
The drones scare me more:

Finally, something I disagree with Caitlin on. Gen Z. "They're inventing their own culture all on their own and using their own means of communication to express it. This culture is developing exponentially faster than any other in history..."
Gen-Z culture is Roblox sandcastles of great complexity, explosions of creative energy from nowhere creating unique communities bootstrapping their own novel mythologie... More free from the weight of inherited culture than previous generations for sure, but swept away by the next tide; and this more than anything else is what's making the generation gap.
I don't think it's good it's definitely not good.
Those people suffering from the sanctions are not the Russians - who consider 6000 + sanctions some kinda absurd aberration, but so-called US Western allies and the West itself. The best chance of avoiding apocalypse is for these "accidental" victims to say, "nah, we don't buy it: let the Dem and Rep politicos, but Dem mostly, who want this war be the first to starve and freeze in the dark. Not to mention walk miles to work every day while starving, and If they don't yell uncle, we'll take our turn on the rack."
