Watch or listen to these.

First, Judge Napolitano talks to Jeffrey Sachs about CIA manipulation of everything. This is very good, even as compared to the Judge’s normal high standards:

Second, listen to Andrei Martyanov’s latest. Pay attention to the book he references by Richard Hofstadter, Anti-intellectualism…. Hofstadter properly differentiated between general intelligence and the closely-related but still separate concept of intellectualization. He was dead on 60 years ago about the then current US trend against thinking. We still have that, though it’s now compounded by an outright hostility towards higher IQ itself. Andrei does what he does best regarding the collapse of the US under the weight of such stupidity:

MOA has an interesting and predictable follow-up on all the Ukrainian refugees that flooded Europe last year.

Zelenski goes on to threaten, in rather unthankful fashion, those countries which have delivered aid to Ukraine but may want to cut their losses:

Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.

I have seen such threats from low ranking individuals of the fascist Bandera fringe. They spoke of terrorism they would unleash in the West should it end its support for Ukraine. That the Ukrainian president now reinforces such threats shows how deeply he immersed himself in that mindset.

Economic benefits, tasty ethnic food, and terrorism. Borders exist for reasons.

Caitlin Johnstone covers the sass and stupidity from one of Mordor’s foremost neo-Trotskyites, Stinkin’ Blinken.

During an appearance on ABC’s This Week with Jonathan Karl, Secretary of State Tony Blinken explicitly said that the US would not oppose Ukraine using US-supplied longer-range missiles to attack deep inside Russian territory, a move that Moscow has previously called a “red line” which would make the United States a direct party to the conflict.

“We understand that the United States is considering sending those long-range missiles that Ukraine has been asking for for a long time,” Karl said in the interview. “These are long-range missiles, 200 miles in range. Are you okay if those missiles allow Ukraine to attack deep into Russian territory?”

“In terms of their targeting decisions, it’s their decision, not ours,” answered Blinken after some bloviation.

The ATACMS, like the rest of NATO’s Sanford and Son garbage weapons, won’t make any difference in the SMO. However, they do risk widening the conflict, possibly to GAE bases in Europe or even in the good old U S of Gay. If Lockheed Martin factories and/or ‘Murican cities start receiving Russian long-range missiles, ‘Muricans can then blame themselves for allowing their government to fall into the weak, clammy hands of demented foreigners like Tony B.

The Beauty of Externally Imposed Tariffs

While the GAE debt and deficit spends its way to the moon, heavily-sanctioned (and thus, blessed) Russian economy is booming.

Surging oil and gas revenues will allow Russia to add to its sovereign wealth fund despite Western sanctions, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov announced on Monday.

The National Wealth Fund (NWF), which accumulates revenue from energy exports, was created to support the national pension system and to help cover budget deficits when needed.

The latest figures showed that revenues from oil and gas sales grew 5.3% year-on-year in July and amounted to $8.66 billion. The largest intake was from gas exports, while earnings from oil sales rose by 2.6%. According to estimates, July was the first time this year that Russia’s revenues from energy exports rose in year-on-year terms.

Given the extreme idiocy and lack of awareness displayed by the rulers of Clown World, one wonders if they aren’t really Russian double agents.

Democracy as Usual

If you peacefully protest to Kongress a coup and stolen election, you can expect 22 years in prison. That is, unless you’re an unarmed White Woman. Then, it’s DOA and no “summer of Floyd love” for you. On the other hand, if you’re an “alternative person” and you get your incommoding on at the expense of the same Kongress, then you get kid gloves and no MSM vitriol.

US Capitol Police arrested seven activists who “occupied” the entrance to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s office on Monday morning demanding the Republican majority reauthorize PEPFAR, a global HIV-AIDS program expiring at the end of the month.

I’ve just learned all seven freedom fighters have been released, pardoned, and canonized by the other half of the UMC, and the officers fired and possibly tarred and feathered. Also, I hear that funding lapse had nothing to do with “homophobia.” Rather, the money was desperately needed to buy V. Zelensky yet another Italian villa.

The leaders and people of the Global South would be wise to reject this leap by any means necessary.

The Open Society Foundations (deemed undesirable in Russia), founded by Hungary-born US billionaire fund manager George Soros, is shrinking its footprint in Europe to shift its focus to the Global South, authoritative US magazine Foreign Policy reported.

According to the journal, the foundation is now in the process of transferring its projects and operations to various countries in the Global South. Foreign Policy pointed out that this move is likely the initiative of the foundation’s new chairman and son of the founder, Alexander Soros.

While this is good news for Europe, it indicates a level of damage has already been inflicted. One wonders if, like Dracula, these parasites have to move large boxes of unholy soil in advance of their relocation.

Bureaucratic Gerrymandering

I observed several years ago that the Census was approaching the point of unreliability. Therefore, it is no surprise they have been using their rigged numbers to rig elections.

The 2022 midterms will likely shape the future of the country for years to come, and just as the FBI appears to have influenced the 2020 election, liberal bureaucrats have “made mistakes” that just happen to benefit Democrats. As Nancy Pelosi worked diligently to try and take over elections to tilt them in her favor and liberals pretended gerrymandering doesn’t benefit them, the Census Bureau was busy “accidentally” giving Democrats more seats in the House of Representatives and more votes in the Electoral College.

In a stunning report, the U.S. Census Bureau recently revealed mistakes that will shape federal elections and funding over the next decade. Liberals in the federal bureaucracy don’t even seem to be trying to hide this one. Of the eight states that were overcounted, all but one were blue states. Among the states that were undercounted, all but one were red states.

The Census Bureau did not explain how it made such a costly mistake.

They’re probably not able to explain anything, being too incompetent. But their weakness in doing the one thing they are legally required to do is a great benefit to the dark state. Going forward, ‘Muricans are just going to have to vOaT much much harder. You’d better start stretching and practicing for 2024 now.

Read Peter Hitchens’s excellent review of the changes in the USSA he’s observed since 1977. It all kind of goes to this one observation: “I actually won a competition, in (of all places) the Economist, and so was able to go, in some style, to a country most British people seldom saw in those days, when England was much more English and America much more American.”

Even Labor Day is Fake in Amerika

Can we have nothing real? It’s bad enough that American workers are hammered with 64% of new jobs going to foreigners. Our day is really May 1st.

But American workers did contribute at least one lasting legacy to the international movement for working-class liberation — a workers’ holiday, celebrating the ideal of international solidarity, and eagerly anticipating the day when workers might rise together to take control of their own lives and provide for their own well-being.

That holiday is May Day, not Labor Day.

Labor Day has conservative roots. In 1894, President Grover Cleveland pushed Congress to establish the holiday as a way to de-escalate class tension following the Pullman Strike, during which as many as ninety workers were gunned down by thousands of US Marshals serving at the pleasure of railway tycoon George Pullman, one of the time’s most hated industrial barons.

…

The Pullman Strike was one of the most catalyzing moments in American history, leading working people all over the country to draw revolutionary conclusions — including Debs, who read Marx for the first time while imprisoned for his role in organizing the strike.

Cleveland was wary of the response to his actions. He signed Labor Day into law a mere six days after busting the strike.

Convincing American workers to accept such a transparently disingenuous maneuver was a hard sell. But Cleveland found an effective ally in Samuel Gompers, the president of the American Federation of Labor (AFL), a conservative coalition of skilled workers that had opposed the strike.

…

Attempts to undermine May Day didn’t stop with Grover Cleveland. In 1958, President Eisenhower established “Law Day,” designating May 1 as a day to celebrate the rule of law and its role in shaping American life. The holiday remains on the books to this day.

May Day celebrates the historic power of the working class to oppose its oppression and fundamentally alter society. Though it’s a welcome break from work for many of us, Labor Day is just another legacy of worker defeat.

And today is hardly even a day of rest for millions of the most precarious and underpaid workers in the country.

Still, for the precarious and underpaid who managed to beat the H1Bs, happy (fake) Labor Day!
