This black monday has been a very long time coming.

Trump and Musk aren't doing this to get rich. Barrack, Hillary and Brandon went into government to get rich. Trump and Musk were already rich. You can posit myriad other motivations, but money (and little boys) aren't among them.

I have no choice but to believe that they are willing to take the tremendous risks involved because they think it is the right thing to do. I'm not altogether sure, and I'm even more skeptical as to whether it will.

Don't be too harsh on Bobby Kennedy. Politics is the art of the possible. What you and I want would seem to be impossible at the moment. Per Peter Goetsche and others, the MMR is somewhat effective and among the least damaging of the vaccines. I believe that nonetheless it the balance of risk says, don't take it. However, if Bobby has to back off a bit in order to get an honest autism study, that's the deal he had to make and I'm happy for it.

The CDC could not make shots mandatory. They left it up to the states to do that, which they did. I think that those regimes will be changing fairly rapidly. It will be up to the courts as much as the federal government. Bobby is against forcing needles into anybody.

My measure of the Trump team is that they are making enemies of all the right people.

Time will tell and I hope you are right. How are things right now?

I write about what is happening in Kyiv almost daily. Putin, the palooka, is blowing up apartment buildings and killing civilians daily. Despite furious Russian propaganda to the contrary, he is not winning the war.

Our life is normal. We had many fewer power outages this winter than last. Schools are working. Our friends are having babies.

Beauty of Ukraine is that few people are invested in the stock market. Most jobs are in the real sectors of the economy - growing food, making things. We have had to be self-reliant over a very long history. Pensions are laughable in the first place. Interest rates don't matter much in a cash economy.

Our corruption is endemic. It has been heavily exploited by Hunter, the USAID crowd and many other foreigners. Hard to tell whether or not Zelensky would have been able to resist being subborned. Everyday people are more honest and open than they were in Bethesda.

In short, been down so long, it looks like up to us. We'll get through.

I'm thrilled to hear that all and pray the war and all wars can end! It sounds like an endorsement of an informal economy...

You and I both know that there is a fundamental level at which things work in Vietnam and Thailand. People know how to do stuff. They trust each other to do stuff. Same here in Ukraine.

I posted this on Lily’s SS. She was writing about the Globalists/WEF. This is my theory that I developed over the past several years. I am not a “trust the plan “ However I do understand where we were (are possibly) headed if Trump does not come along and get involved. Perhaps the biggest kick in the teeth for the Globalists was Russia failing to be smashed. Still they were leading us on the path of collapse and now we are attempting to increase altitude in our final nose dive. This is why so many of them have switched sides.

Forgive me if I have spouted my opinion on K Schwab and the WEF before. Until after the COVID rollout I had NO clue who Davos Man was. After bearing witness to the identical response protocols it didn’t take a genius to suspect something was pulling the strings.

What I think happened is that KS, fresh off his high with Covid and vaccine protocol success decided to write a book. He then proceeded to announce to the world just what a Dictators he/they were. Several bullet points stood out such as “You will own nothing.” “You will eat bugs.”

I would later download the pdf from their meeting in 2021. Apologies I do not have it but if I go rummaging thru my files I could probably find it. They had two columns one was for the goal and the other column was for acceptable terms. For Ex: eating meat was supposed to be cut to zero by 2030. However the ever so tolerant ones gave a pass that 1/4 lbs of meat per week would be acceptable.

I still chuckle at the thought of someone above KS probably wanting to punch him in the balls for releasing that book (who knows). I was no longer a right leaning sheep and I got to thinking how could you go from the American landscape circa 2022 to owning nothing. There was no picturesque way to accomplish such a feat without major turmoil and collapse.

And so if I study their behavior (unlimited money printing, opposite reality actions) I have little doubt they were going to pull the plug on humanity. I do NOT believe that is an option anymore. Not unless China & Russia play ball and it’s increasingly looking as if tho they are not.

Enter the current situation and the Trump Presidency. Knowing what I know now, I believe some tough decisions are in order. And that is exactly what we are seeing play out before our very eyes. This is why I stand with Trump come hell or high water.

If the collapse that was being engineered happens regardless I believe we are FUCKED!! It will look nothing like 1929. Most of them were still pretty tough back then and knew their way around gardening and hunting. I believe the cities will be a hellscape within day after things start closing down.

Lily, I would be very curious as to your thoughts on this matter. Am I concerned for know reason? Please no hurry or maybe you could even do a post on it sometime. 👍

Tariffs? Stock markets? I've been through similar events many times. The world didn't come to an end. I always wait with bated breath. Will we find ourselves living "in interesting times" as the Chinese craftily characterize danger? Will the "big one" occur? The "big one" being any number of catastrophes.

I'm 76 and inordinately disappointed that no truly "big ones" have occurred. Just the slow unwinding of the Kali Age which is stultifyingly boring. Grifters grift more. Liars lie more. Controllers control more. Stupid people blather more. Ancient texts have always warned of the Kali Age but neglected to advise how inordinately bored we would be. Evil, I guess, is just infinitely predictable.

I'm not coming back until a Golden Age unfolds. I can't take anymore of these long-drawn-out ennui-ed, feckless dull Kali Ages.

Now...there's a good one!! "If I criticize their side...." Ah. How true. I'm in love with mickeyz.memes. And Patrick Prime...you've made my day, Amy.

Oh, God. Then we have to read articles with Larry Fink opining. Or Jamie Dimon. Or some other guy running a hedge fund or operating close to the Vanguard level of banking. They don't know anything either. Here's the ka-ching. They don't know anymore than you do.

The only person holding my interest these days is Martin Armstrong and his computer, Socrates. He's the dope.

The mystics and psychics are washouts. "Intelligent" people are a drag. I've been watching some more up-to-date TV streaming for free. Sooo boring. The initial concept simply becomes a remake of "The Dukes of Hazzard" only they don't have many car chases just a lot of females now cast into the lead role pulling their FBI-CIA-INTERPOL badges and guns...but it's the same show from the 1970s-80s. It's a formula. I'm going back to 1940s-50s film noir.

"My father’s strange rants about how the United States was !&*#$@ worse than Russia (this was in like the year 1984) and my mother’s concern about the Rapture, the Second Coming of Christ and daily reading of Revelation..."

This was my life growing up, I too had parents way ahead of their time I guess, lol
