Nausea Rules
The way financial markets puked this week, they must have started reading the news. Let’s face it, the headlines are a little short of reassuring. The $6.49 price on a gallon of diesel is enough alone to tell you that the nation can’t do business the way it’s set up to do, and there isn’t a new model for running things ready to launch — not even Klaus Schwab’s utopia of robots and eunuchs.
What’s out there, rather, is a model of breakdown and collapse which the Woked-up, globalist neo-Jacobins are doing everything possible to hasten. US-inspired sanctions on Russia have quickly blown-up in America’s face. How’s that ban on Russian oil working? Do you understand that US shale oil — the bulk of our production — is exceptionally light in composition, meaning it contains not much of the heavier distillates like diesel and aviation fuel? ‘Tis so, alas. Truckers just won’t truck at $6.49-a-gallon, and before long they’ll be out of business altogether, especially the independents who have whopping mortgages on their rigs that won’t be paid. The equation is tearfully simple: no trucks = no US economy.
Europe, the old original homeland of Western Civ, isn’t just losing face, it’s blowing its head clean off going along with “Joe Biden’s” economic war. Are Germany, France, and the rest of that bunch really so dead-set on jamming Ukraine into NATO that they’re willing to go full medieval for it? By which I mean sitting in the cold and dark with empty plates. That’s a hard way to go just to prove somebody else’s point.
The war in Ukraine itself was apparently losing its sex appeal for the click-hungry news media. No matter which way The New York Times and friends tried to spin it, they failed to grok both Russia’s determination to neutralize Ukraine and its ability to get the job done, even if it takes a longer-than-expected grind to finish. That’s how important it was to Russia that Ukraine not become a forward missile base and bio-weapons lab for its adversaries. When that operation concludes, the West will be left economically crippled and humiliated — which are conditions that historically portend regime change. Will America cough up “Joe Biden” like a hairball to get those trucks running again? Might the Dems themselves resort to releasing the kraken known as Hunter’s laptop just to send the old grifter packing?
In the meantime, the leaked Roe v Wade cancellation ruling shoved the Ukraine fiasco offstage so as to provoke more useful histrionics for the dreaded midterm elections upcoming. The poorly-understood truth is that said ruling will only send the abortion question back to the individual states. But let’s get real: places like New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, and California are not going to enact any new anti-abortion laws, and that’s where most of the people having hebephrenic breakdowns over the issue live. Which is to say there’s little danger that the shrieking denizens of these Blue states will lack abortions. So, how much has the party only been pretending that Roe v Wade is its primal touchstone?
The strange parallel question has been raised: might laissez-fair abortion be a cover for the evident new problem that Covid-19 vaccines have made a shocking number of birthing people incapable of reproducing? There’s a buzz about it, anyway. It’s a fact that Pfizer excluded pregnant and breastfeeding women from all phases of its mRNA trials. Among the various harms now ascribed to the mRNA shots are infertility, miscarriage, and newborn abnormalities. But, of course, that sort of rumor — here coming from cases among vaccinated military personnel and not so easily hushed up — is just what the many lurking censors want to slap down in any forum where ideas could be exchanged. It’s misinformation!
And so, the derangement volume knob over Twitter changing ownership stays up at eleven. Imagine what will happen if the supposedly 70-odd percent of Americans who got vaxxed learn in a re-liberated Twitter Zone that the Covid-19 vaccines are not “safe and effective.” According to Zero Hedge, twenty-six globalist NGOs with ties to George Soros signed a letter saying, “Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter will further toxify our information ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety, especially among those already most vulnerable and marginalized.”
They are, as usual, projecting — since what is a greater threat to public safety than inducing tens of millions of frightened citizens to accept multiple shots of a poorly-tested pharmaceutical cocktail that can kill you six ways to Sunday? The folks in-charge (and others who would like to be the boss-of-you) don’t want you to know any of this. The pharma companies, the doctors, the hospital administrators, and the politicians must be frantic with terror of being found out.
Altogether, the scene looks like a multi-dimensional nightmare. Broken economy… sinking Western Civ… police state tyranny… vaccine death and injury… starvation…. So, there it is. Oh, look, those markets… they’re puking again!

On a Path Toward Doomsday
Hegemon USA-dominated NATO bears full responsibility for what led up to and followed after Russia launched its SMO to demilitarize and deNazify Ukraine.
As directed by its higher power in Washington, Nazi-infested Ukraine threatens central Europe and world peace.
A cancer in Europe’s heartland, it’s crucial to eliminate the menace it represents.
That’s what Russia’s SMO is all about, a mission to prevent the threat of US-controlled Ukraine leading to possible nuclear war.
I agree with assessments of Doug Casey, Law Professor Francis Boyle and David Stockman.
What Casey called a “American nightmare” is the following:
The US power elite is comprised of “sociopaths.”
Anyone believing that what happened in Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, and other despotic states cannot happened in America is delusional.
It’s been happening incrementally in the US for years.
Casey believes that things advanced under US hardliners to where they’re “out of control” today.
Sociopaths in charge are advancing things toward “police state” rule and “a major war abroad” — with invented enemy Russia.
In a days earlier article, I quoted Francis Boyle’s assessment about an “unfolding US/NATO War Plan” — things “set into motion (toward direct military confrontation against) Russia.”
Once begun, the danger of “employing battlefield nukes” is surely an ominous possibility.
David Stockman put it this way, saying:
“Washington is now on a doomsday path that has no rational end game except the risk of WW III.”
Despite no military threat from any nation, proxy war waged by dominant US hardliners on Russia risks expansion to full-blown East/West conflict.
Earlier I quoted father of the US nuclear navy, Admiral Hyman Rickover’s warning to Congress in 1982, saying:
“The lesson of history is when a war starts, every nation will ultimately use whatever weapons it has available” to win.
“That’s why I am such a great exponent of stopping this whole nonsense of war.”
“(A)ttempts to limit war have always failed.”
“I think the human race is going to wreck itself, and it is important that we get control of this horrible (nuclear) force and try to eliminate it” — before it eliminates us.
Dominant US hardliners in power represent the worst of what Rickover feared.
The risk of direct US/NATO confrontation with Russia is ominously real.
Supported by MSM
Russophobes — with nary a dissenting view — that’s where things are heading.
If direct East/West confrontation occurs — what grows more likely by the day — it’s a short leap to use of tactical/non-strategic battlefield nukes to thermonuclear weapons with incinerating entire cities and surroundings in mind.
In 1961, USAF chief of staff General Curtis LeMay claimed that nuclear war with Soviet Russia was inevitable.
His lunatic solution was launching thousands of nuclear missiles preemptively on its territory.
At the same time, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Lyman Lemnitzer urged a surprise nuclear attack strategy against Soviet Russia.
When the issue was raised at a National Security Council meeting, Jack Kennedy walked out in disgust.
Wanting none of it, he told Secretary of State Dean Rusk:
“And we call ourselves the human race.”
During the October 1962 Cuban missile crisis, Kennedy said that he never had any intention of using nuclear weapons.
He wanted things resolved diplomatically, precisely how things turned out to prevent the risk of possible nuclear war.
There are no JFKs, RFKs, MLKs or others like them in Washington today — just the opposite.
A lunatic fringe runs things with the worst of diabolical aims in mind.
According to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), things are “one tiny temper tantrum away” from possible nuclear armageddon.
A “moment of (irrational) panic” or rage could set in motion the “destruction of cities and the deaths of millions of civilians.”
“We have a choice: the end of nuclear weapons or the end of us,” ICAN’s executive director, Beatrice Fihn, earlier stressed, adding:
The risk of using nukes today is “greater…than (during decades of) Cold War.”
In the hands of recklessly irresponsible leaders, the worst of scenarios is possible.
That’s today’s stark reality.
Hellbent for unchallenged global dominance, undemocratic Dem hardliners —supported by likeminded congressional lunatics — risk armageddon by preemptively attacking Russia.
UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Izumi Nakamitsu, perhaps had them in mind when earlier stressed:
“(W)e are all living (with the) danger…of nuclear peril.”
It’s why “moving towards a world free of nuclear weapons is…an urgent priority.”
The alternative is potential nuclear annihilation.
If US/NATO attacks Russia, the chance of nukes being used is ominously high.
And if things turn out this way, so is the risk of destroying humanity and all other life forms.
