Kagan and Nuland live in terror of not being able to feast off the labor of others. God forbid they ever have to do one honest day's work in their lives -- it just might kill them. I've made comment that our elite has yet to reach the zenith of corruption of the 18th century French aristocracy - but they are clearly working to that.
I'm not sure, chiefly because the sheer number of plutocrats these days...and it's global...not just within each country.
The other thing to consider, is the power is distributed/diffuse/decentralized outside the king's "court"...but yet more connected then ever.
Plus they have control, for all intents and purposes, of the energy supply...they'll eventually say; "feed them candles!!!". They also have more ways to create confusion, panic and fear than ever before.
Lastly, but just as important, bugs are considered a delicacy these days
Well personally, I always enjoyed those weird little wax candies of my youth.
🤪
I too think there is nothing they won’t try to hold onto their power. They are just that stupid and evil.
It seems pretty obvious to me that their grip isn’t as strong as they think it is, but their hubris to think they can ride the whirlwind they’ll unleash unscathed may be a critical factor in their demise.
Just praying that God is merciful and it’s of short duration, whatever comes. I can hear the bands thrumming ever louder…the tension is getting higher all the time.
Chris’ stack and the comments section is a voice of sanity, and a reminder that goodness and determination are still present in many of us and to abandon hope is not an option.
Never going to happen. Those two (Kagan & Nuland) are too smart for that. They'll never go for elected office, just rather pull strings in the back. And then quietly slither away when the figureheads are led to the guillotine.
They are hired help, and they can be fired. Trump excluded Nuland, Obama (via Biden) dropped her back in.
Anyways, Nuland was fired not long ago, probably some other players are being shuffled about. Probably not for the purpose of shuffling better players into action, unfortunately.
Trump won’t let them walk down Pennsy Ave, much less hire them.
In the unlikely event one of the D factions is elected (installed) into the White House next term, they might be brought in just for the purpose of having someone to blame when the tragedy of Ukraine becomes un-manageable.
Forget good guys/bad guys, too many young people are being maimed and killed in that evil chess game.
Would love you know what he cited (footnote 4) in support of the proposition that MAGA represented “restoring white cultural and political primacy.” The thing is, I think people like Robert Kagan actually believe this stuff. That, and their proximity to power, is what makes them dangerous.
A poll on the Iraq War from the Pew Research Center. The footnote for the claim about white supremacy is entirely a claim that Republicans mostly still support the invasion of Iraq.
and perfidy. 20 years ago kagan was all about torture and gitmo and the new world order - right there in the title of his book. now all of a sudden he's a liberal. maybe he thinks he can get away with it because liberals don't know who the hell he is or where he comes from
Wait a minute…so does that make his wife, Victoria Nuland, a white supremacist since she was the Deputy National Security Adviser and an architect of the Iraq War? Or has she disavowed?
What a garbage attempt at a flex by footnoting his racially inflammatory (mis)representation of MAGA with a poll about Republican support of OIF. Absolute non sequitur brainworms.
He should have put a Rick Astley link as the footnote - it would have been at least as relevant to his wackadoo claim as the Pew poll and might lighten the mood a bit.
From the heart of deep blue Southern California, where I have to protect myself from homeless people in my alley and walking my dog ;and refuse to wear jewelry,because, you know .. crime ..
Somehow I will no longer be a white ,Jewish girl , but a white robe wearing member of the Klan ( still without Jewelery ) . Can everyone see my head hurt or is that part just my imagination?
I got the same horror feeling watching it too. Do you have any idea why the drug addicts are all bent over at the waist? What is it about the drug Tranq (sp) that makes them do that? I'm mystified.
I have no idea. On another news site this week I watched a video of people in Poland(!) under the influence of fentanyl who were exhibiting what was reported as “zombie like” behaviour. They looked exactly like these Philadelphians.
It's the fentanyl. It's basically just like when you're slipping into sleep but are still not quite completely asleep yet, like when you're already dreaming but if someone starts talking to you it still filters through and becomes part of the dream or maybe brings you back to wakefulness.
The reason they're all bent over is like when you see someone falling asleep sitting up and their head is all droopy but their body hasn't completely toppled over. They're in a halfway state where some muscles have let go and relaxed but other's haven't.
Sometime last year there was a guy in that position across the street from the shop I work out of. He has been there all morning, when I returned from lunch the police had setup a white tent. He died in that position. There was a younger girl standing there crying and I ask if she was ok. She responded that's my father, I did my best to comfort her and asked if she wanted a hug and she did. How can you die in that position and not fall over?
Of course the democrat run cities that allow this self destructive behavior of the obviously mentally ill addicts to persist is to continue to reap the billions that are made off the misery & death. There are lots of problems in this world, but to allow this inhumane non treatment to continue is inexcusable. Hell, though no surprise- if you can be convinced to accept unfettered, no limit abortion as the main, go-to policy in the political debates when losing all other debate issues, well we’re near the bottom of that slippery slope.
Thank you for researching that Barn Owl!!! Much like alcohol or other drugs I suppose the user is trying to shut out their depressing environment / lifestyle with such a strong tranquilizer. I would think that would make them an easy target for thief, rape, robbery, or abuse.
You have a talking computer? Nice! AI or something like that?
Chris, once more I admire your willingness to read through the scribblings of obvious mentally ill people like Kagan.
But let me embrace and amplify:
Yes, every where I turn, in deep blue LA County, there are hordes of hooded white supremacists roaming the streets, preying on anyone with dark skin pigment!
Please.
When a nut like Kagan says there are active white supremacist groups working to take over the country, I want to scream at him, “Name one!”
They're going to say MAGA, and if you ask about the white sheets and preying on blacks they'll retreat to talking about systems of white supremacy and systemic racism etc.
He is soothing the cognitive dissonance of the useful idiots and gaslighting his cultural opposition. I expect nothing less from the mouthpieces of the Global American Empire.
I know the axiom "know thy enemy," but these books are going to drive you mad.
And these people are not talking to us. They're talking to each other. They still can't grasp why the peasantry doesn't fall at their feet. This is a comforting fairytale.
Cowardice is very dangerous, and these people are, to a man, cowards. Poltroons--wretched cowards. Grima Wormtongues who have never worked a day in their lives and who have contempt for working class people.
All we can do is pray and stay armed and ready. They have no morals, they have no courage, therefore they have no limits to their evil.
I've never so much as pointed a gun at another human being. I very much want to get to the end of my life with that record intact - but I just don't think the bastards are going to let me. At some point, they're going to do something where words are no longer the medium of dissent.
I think Kagan and his ilk are getting daily brain bleeds as Trump is poling over 20% of the black vote. Yes, the black vote...Sure doesn't look or sound like white supremacy to me.
So sick of the white supremacist crap. Suddenly half the country is KKK including people of color. If they really cared about THAT why would they be supporting Biden who attended Byrd's funeral, didn't want his kids going to school in a racial jungle and was amazed that Obama was clean and articulate.
Progressives gave up the moral high ground on race when they started attacking "whiteness". The progressive-Left wants to complete the tearing down of Western Civilization; the populist-Right wants to restore it. It's not about race.
It is college-educated women (with mostly useless majors) leading the charge against their own civilization. This is bonkers. Ladies, under Natural Law (that's what Western Civilization is) you have equal rights and dignity with men and equal protection under the law. That's Thomas Aquinas and John Locke: a world of individual rights. Take Natural Law away though, and you fall back to Jungle Law. That's Machiavelli and Nietzsche: a world of raw power. Most non-college women realize instinctively that a jungle law world is very bad for them; it takes 4 years of college (un)education to forget something that basic. Orwell: "Some ideas are so stupid only an intellectual can believe them."
"This level of elite disconnection is dangerous and unsustainable." Unfortunately, it can be sustained for a very long time. As Adam Smith said, "there's a lot of ruin in a nation". Our elites think they create reality, and in their own bubbles, it's pretty much true. When you live in a gated community or a condo tower with a doorman and get all your stuff delivered from Amazon, open air drug markets on urban streets may as well not exist. For the laptop class, that's reality. And the laptop class runs the show.
The satanic parasite elites are killing humanity around the world so unfortunately they have forced us into the law of the jungle and now our options are kill or be killed and I for one like my odds.
I would trust a junkie in the streets before I trusted Kagan.
Read a book a few years ago called “Germany Enters The Third Reich”. Written in the 30’s by an American journalist working in Germany. You know, back when newspapers actually had foreign offices before they just outsourced all that work to the State Department and the CIA. Hitler’s rise is probably more similar to Bidens rise to the presidency than Trumps. Kagan wants us to believe Trump has shock troops so we don’t notice the left/IC’s actual shock troops.
The left is so desperate right now because Orange Man Hitler is winning in the polls even though he was convicted fairly by a jury of his peers in a totally apolitical and just trial. Can't all the disgruntled populist whites see that Trump is literally Hitler and Biden is not senile, those videos of him drooling and stuttering are deep fakes! Stupid poor whites.
I would say the pseudo left, the people designated the left by the establishment as no actual leftist in government fifty years ago would accept this.
No, what we have is the neoliberal “left” where money is god, the measure of all worth and meaning, and if you don’t have money, not only are you not worth anything as a person, you are not even human.

You mean the invasion of Iraq that was the project of precisely the neocon clique of which the Kagans are prominent members?
If I’m understanding this correctly, we have a new world record for chutzpah here.
We were always at war with East Asia.

Worked for Soros. I am old enough to remember when he was seen as the worst locust. Then he rebranded as a philanthropist. People swallowed it.
Wait a minute…so does that make his wife, Victoria Nuland, a white supremacist since she was the Deputy National Security Adviser and an architect of the Iraq War? Or has she disavowed?

Taking one for the team, Chris! Thanks.
Time for another road trip to decompress. Thanks for taking a hit for the rest of us.
Conrad got it right. As Marlow says of Jim at the end: “He was one of us!”
Chris, I don’t have the words to express adequately my horror at that video of Philadelphia. I’m left reeling.
I got the same horror feeling watching it too. Do you have any idea why the drug addicts are all bent over at the waist? What is it about the drug Tranq (sp) that makes them do that? I'm mystified.
Kim Gary on YouTube has day after day after day of video just like this, all over the city. The United States of America in 2024.
this philly guy really nails it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCR5s66GENg
I have no idea. On another news site this week I watched a video of people in Poland(!) under the influence of fentanyl who were exhibiting what was reported as “zombie like” behaviour. They looked exactly like these Philadelphians.
Yes, I've seen multiple videos like this from Dem cities, all attributing the bent posture to fentanyl.
I'd ask my sibling, who lives in Center City, but that would be asking a die-hard Dem and I'd likely be told it's not that bad.
It's the fentanyl. It's basically just like when you're slipping into sleep but are still not quite completely asleep yet, like when you're already dreaming but if someone starts talking to you it still filters through and becomes part of the dream or maybe brings you back to wakefulness.

Do you mean antifa and blm shock troops or the 20 million illegals that have entered Our Country ?
Going back in time to 12/31/2019 just how did end up with Biden as president?

Re: Philly the wasteland, at least it's heartening to see that blacks and whites are lying together in the streets.

So liberal!
