I've read this and the comments.

Despite saving the US space program and Twitter, I do not place my faith in Elon Musk.

Rather, I completely support Rand Paul, Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

For me, the biggest issue is Trump's abandonment of his promises. His victory included a lot of independents and liberals, who have now been abandoned in the pursuit of Zionism.

This is not about Trump, but the same Christian fascists who gave us the Tea Party. We subsequently mocked their authoritarian politics into irrelevancy.

This is not a war against Trump, but against insane and murderous Zionism. We've been here before and know what to do.

Don't let conventional wisdom defeat us, before we've even begun. Anybody who argues against this, regardless of the historical record, has to be ignored.

This is for all the marbles.
For years, I've been fascinated by the socialists and communists. My exposure to economists Richard Wolff and Michael Hudson taught that Modern Monetary Theory is actually 4,000 years old, and annual Debt Jubilees allowed civilizations to thrive for centuries.

It was not until the Industrial Revolution that workers left the feudal lands for jobs in the city. Mao took another approach in China and began murdering landlords in 1949. This holocaust ended with 800M citizens being delivered from poverty.

We've forgotten too much, when history provides answers to our problems.
It was, is and always be a class war. We are currently experiencing a war of the oligarchs, which has little to do with the rest of us.

If they destroy the economy, it will have been an accident, as that is the last thing on their minds. Rather, their WEF Great Reset failed with the COVID plandemic, and they are finding that none of their plans are repeatable. Fool me once...

The Zionist neocons who got us into Ukraine in 2014 are being defeated by a Russian military we spent eighty years of nuclear threat inflation building.

The Russians put an end to the Syrian Diaspora and are dealing with the Nazis in Ukraine.

Most recently, the Chinese have come to the aid of Iran, which has been preparing for a generation to be attacked by Israel. The Zionists infiltrated Iran and assassinated nearly 100 military officials, to no avail.

All the AI perpetrated on Iran by Palantir failed to collapse the Iranian military, which was designed for such attacks. The terrible response of True Promise 3 has virtually destroyed Israel.
At present, we are closer to the death of Zion than ever.

Our politicians are corrupted by a false religion and AIPAC money, and yet there are a few who resisted. These are the leaders we must support.

Anybody who suggests we must not resist Trump are either deluded or complicit. He has abandoned us. The reasons are many, but none of them matter.

Fukayama pronounced the collapse of the Soviet Union as the end of history. He was wrong, and the Zionists might have taken Russia, but for Putin, an Orthodox Christian serving his third term as President.

As Americans, we are accustomed to demonizing foreigners, as the IMF and World Bank destabilize their governments, to perpetuate the USD.

Once you read John Perkins' Confessions of an Economic Hitman, you understand why we have nearly 1000 foreign military bases and an annual military budget over $1T.
As we prepare for political revolution in America, we must recognize that we fought two world wars for Perfidious Albion, and took on their debts, while they were also carving up the Middle East and inventing takfiri salafist terrorism to keep everybody in line.

When those debts become untenable in 1971, we went off the Gold Standard and the USD has decreased by nearly all of its value, since.

The Federal Reserve has funded this decline to the tune of $37T in debt. We will soon be paying nothing but interest on that debt.

Of course, the oligarchs are desperate for war, as an excuse to collapse the economy and repudiate the debt. Our job is to keep that from happening.
Before we proceed down the road to redemption, we must recognize that we are the bad guys.

We slaughtered hundreds of thousands of peasants in South America for cheap rubber, oil and bananas.

We helped destroy entire civilizations in Africa to take their oil and minerals, and pay them a pittance. China and Russia are building roads, hospitals and schools all over the Global South, and helping them farm, drill and mine their own resources.

We maintain narcostates in Columbia and Mexico in order to supply the enormous quantity of illegal drugs used to destroy us.
Michael Shellenberger is writing a book about what happened after the LA County fires, but it also explains FEMA's collapse after Helene in North Carolina, and also Trump's decision to walk away from Ukraine.

He refers to it as nihilistic fatalism. When their policies failed, they gave up.

"There was nothing more to be done."

In order to be an acolyte of any doctrine or religion, you must at some point surrender your will to another power, in these cases ineffectual doctrine, such as DEI, climate change or American supremacy.

We need people who are PITA in their communities and regularly resist conventional wisdom.

We need people who can think for themselves.

But most of all, we need people who are brave.
We know who you are. As I walk most mornings, I see who takes care of their yards. I know who you are, before I meet you. You live within your means and care what people think of you. You are not yet lost to us and probably never will be.

When the time comes, I am prepared to begin this very conversation to those I judge to be worthy of hearing it.

In time, I will build an army of neighbors I've yet to meet.

OTOH, those who have surrendered their will to involuntary totalitarianism are apparent to us all. The worship of materialism, begun with Bernay's Propaganda in 1928 and made law in The Powell Memo, has resulted in the debt slavery of corporate governance, where the afflicted hide in their hovels, self-medicating.
In a sense, the second American Revolution has already been fought and won. Debt slaves have taken themselves off the board and been designated as narcissistic cowards and traitors.

You will be treated as NPCs and herded like cattle.

Only free men have saved our nation, and by that I don't mean women. Most women should be beaten, raped and chained to a stove. They have done more than anyone to destroy our society.

It remains to be seen whether the population replacement rate gives the final victory to immigrants.

From David Price and Bob Etheridge at the Raleigh N&O:

'The 2024 presidential campaign coincided with the widespread and unprecedented devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina. Also unprecedented was the degree to which candidate Donald Trump politicized the disaster, falsely accusing the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of ignoring Republican areas and diverting funds to support undocumented immigrants. Ironically, however, now that he is in office, Trump and Elon Musk, his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief, seem to be making every effort to make those earlier accusations of FEMA underperformance come true.

Helene’s winds and torrential rains struck on Sept. 26, 2024, claiming at least 250 lives across seven states, 107 in North Carolina alone, and causing $58 billion in damage, as calculated by the state’s budget office. The scale and location of the disaster were unexpected, but FEMA had 1,500 personnel in the state within a week. By mid-October it had distributed $124 million in housing assistance to some 87,600 households and had set up fourteen Disaster Recovery Centers across the western counties to assist individuals and businesses in obtaining aid.'

newsobserver.com/opinion/articl…
'Trump, however, found nothing to commend and loudly made baseless charges: “Kamala [Harris] spent all her FEMA money,” he said, “billions of dollars, on housing for illegal migrants.” Elon Musk chimed in: “FEMA used up its budget ferrying illegals into the country, instead of saving American lives. Treason.” Reports abounded of FEMA workers being turned away by suspicious residents in western North Carolina communities. Misinformation “is reducing the likelihood that survivors will come to FEMA in a trusting way to register for assistance,” one administrator reported. All of this prompted a local congressman, Chuck Edwards (R.-NC), to urge constituents to cooperate with FEMA, assuring them that the agency had “NOT diverted disaster response funding to the border or foreign aid.”'
'Trump had been in office barely three weeks when DOGE went to work on FEMA. Its badly understaffed workforce was reduced by 200 more. Musk claimed to have discovered undocumented immigrants being housed with FEMA funds in New York City and vowed to stop funding for such individuals and the “sanctuary” jurisdictions protecting them. The resulting indiscriminate freeze — broadened further by the Secretary Kristi Noem of Homeland Security, FEMA’s parent department — halted disaster payments across the board and across the country. The New York Times documented two North Carolina cases in point: a grant to Warren Wilson College for repairing roofs and clearing debris, and an $18 million reimbursement to the French Broad Electric Membership Corporation to pay workers for repairs to power lines and poles after all of its 43,000 customers lost power.'

From Elizabeth 'Lilly' Egan at the TBJ:

'While hopes of a grocery store coming to the corner of South Elm Street and Gate City Boulevard in downtown Greensboro will likely not come to fruition, developer Andy Zimmerman plans to officially submit a proposal for a mixed-use innovation campus on the site, which he said already has "strong support," from the city council.

Zimmerman's proposal centers around transforming the South End of downtown Greensboro into a "makers and innovation district," that would create a mixed-use development. The project would center on a new home for community maker space The Forge and include workforce housing and open space for farmers markets, maker spaces, makers fairs and craft fairs.'

bizjournals.com/triad/news/202…
'Zimmerman has broken his vision for the project into four phases of development:

Phase one, which would include site work and the construction of about 220 parking spaces, of which up to 150 will be covered.

Phase two would likely start about six months after the purchase of the property and would \ 66 "workforce development" apartment units.

Phase three would be for the new space of The Force, which would be a square two-floor building.

Phase four would add additional housing and parking to the project.

While there are still specifics to be ironed out for the workforce housing, including price points, Zimmerman said the units would likely target teachers, firefighters and police officers. He said he is looking into opportunities to make the apartments more affordable, such as receiving funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Zimmerman said the proposal's inclusion of parking spaces would also benefit Greensboro, since there is a lack of parking in the South End, which has no public parking lots. While the lots would likely be filled during the day, Zimmerman said they would likely be free for public parking at night and on the weekends.'
'In addition to parking challenges, Zimmerman said the site also has environmental issues because of ground contamination. However, he said he has hired an environmental attorney and is confident that the problems can be solved.

"This project will be great for the local community," he said. "It's in Ole Asheboro, it's across Gate City Boulevard where development has been avoided — this project will be great for the city."

The project would also aid in City Manger Trey Davis' goal to build 10,000 new housing units in Greensboro, Zimmerman said. However, he added that his goal for the site is not just to provide more housing but make it an interesting place to live and an asset to downtown.

"The new city manager has a goal to build a lot of roofs over heads and we're wanting to help that with more people living downtown in a cool development," he said. "It's not just apartments. We're going to activate it with farmers markets and fairs and The Forge — it's really going to be an active community development."

Zimmerman said in addition to the South Elm site, there is property on Eugene Street that he is considering purchasing for the development of dense housing.'

From the Greensboro N&R:

'The demolition of the Bellemeade Street parking deck in downtown Greensboro is scheduled to begin next Monday, prompting several road closures.

These closures include:

Both southbound lanes of N. Greene Street from Bellemeade Street to below Sternberger Place.

The eastbound lane of Bellemeade Street from N. Elm Street to N. Greene St.

The southbound lane of N. Elm Street between Bellemeade St. and the area just north of the crosswalk to Center City Park, which is located roughly midway between Bellemeade St. and Friendly Avenue'

greensboro.com/news/local/gov…
'The closure comes when other streets in downtown are closed or partially closed for road work, including other segments of Greene Street as well as stretches of Friendly Avenue and Davie Street.

The city first announced plans to demolish the deck in November after a review found structural problems with the 36-year-old deck.

With nearly 1,300 spaces, the Bellemeade deck was the city’s largest single parking structure and accounted for almost a quarter of off-street parking.'
'The deck closed in February, the same month the Greensboro City Council awarded D.H. Griffin Companies the $2.4 million contract for the demolition.

With nearly 1,300 parking spaces, the Bellemeade deck accounted for nearly a quarter of off-street parking and was Greensboro’s largest parking structure.

No plans for the future of the land have been decided but the city has confirmed that “future redevelopment options for the site are under discussion.”

In February, Zack Matheny, a member of the city council and the president of Downtown Greensboro Inc., said that while new development would likely include some parking the focus would primarily be on a mixed-use project.'

From The Economist:

'Russophilia was once an affliction of the American left, of socialists who made excuses for Stalinism or Soviet totalitarianism. No longer. One month ago, Glenn Greenwald, a heterodox American journalist once lionised by the left and now admired by the conspiratorial right, dropped by Moscow to absorb the wisdom of Alexander Dugin, a prominent, anti-liberal Russian thinker sometimes likened to “Putin’s Rasputin”.

During his trip to Moscow a year ago to film a sympathetic interview with Vladimir Putin, Tucker Carlson, an influential MAGA media personality, visited Mr Dugin, too, and found him irresistible. “We were having a conversation that we were not going to film…but what you said was so interesting that we got a couple of cameras and put this together,” he gushed at the start of their interview, and nodded enthusiastically as Mr Dugin lambasted the failures of liberalism and the excesses of wokeness. This is not just eccentric provocation by MAGA attention-seekers; it is a window into a serious, philosophical concordance that is emerging between parts of the American and Russian right.'

economist.com/united-states/…
'The most obvious alignment is over geopolitics, especially the position of Ukraine. The hardline MAGA right objected to Joe Biden’s military aid not just out of partisan instinct but also because they believe Ukraine ought to have been more accommodating of its regional superpower. Just as America gets to dictate terms within its sphere of influence, to Canada over trade or to Panama over its canal, Russia has rights over Ukraine, this thinking goes. Adherents of America First are realists, not idealists like their neoconservative predecessors. They see foreign interventionism as futile adventurism. Their view of the world is multipolar, as is Mr Dugin’s.'
'But Mr Dugin’s contempt for Ukraine runs deeper. His most famous work published in 1997, “The Foundations of Geopolitics”, advocates for “Eurasianism”—the idea of a restored, great new Russia that straddles both Asia and Europe. He argued that Ukraine was a “huge danger” to this project. He elaborated: “Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning. It has neither a special cultural message of universal significance, nor geographic uniqueness, nor ethnic exclusivity.” During Mr Putin’s invasion of Crimea in 2014, Mr Dugin’s enthusiasm for conquering Ukraine reached such excessive heights that he lost his appointment at the prestigious Moscow State University. His Rasputin-like reputation therefore seems overblown, though he still works as a kind of international ambassador to illiberal right-wing movements. An assassination attempt in 2022—via car bomb, believed to be planted by agents of Ukraine, which killed his daughter—has amplified Mr Dugin’s prominence.'

I've seen different versions of a property tax repeal, such as for retirees.

Of course, large portions of our local government would evanesce.

It would be really hard on the free shit army.
Trump has floated the idea of getting rid of the federal income tax. MMT says we don't need it.

At some point, the reduction in federal overhead makes the unthinkable possible.

We're headed in the direction of a socialist economy.
We need to junk our 800 foreign military bases.

Beau Biden died of cancer he contracted from a burn pit at a base in Kosovo, according to his dad.

You are, of course, aware we are not at war in Kosovo, but assisting the opium trade and fomenting war with Russia.

After commanding NATO from there, Gen. Wesley Clarke returned to sit on the board of the only TV network, in order to promote anti-Russian propaganda.

This all needs to go away.

From the News & Fishwrap:

'RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina House members advanced Wednesday a Republican package to boost state recovery funding after Hurricane Helene as committees fleshed out details on how best to spend another $500 million to address the historic flooding.

The House's budget-writing committee voted for the latest spending proposal, which would emphasize repairs for damaged homes, private bridges and roads, assistance to farmers who lost crops and rebuilding infrastructure adjacent used by small businesses.

GOP House leaders had unveiled a version last week, but several amendments adjusted the measure in a special Helene recovery committee on Tuesday. A House floor vote is expected next week, said Rep. John Bell, the House rules chairman and co-chairman of the recovery committee.'

greensboro.com/news/state/nor…
'The package remains less than half of the $1.07 billion that new Democratic Gov. Josh Stein sought in new recovery spending earlier this month from legislators.

Stein's package contains several initiatives the House plan currently lacks, including money to recompense local governments in the mountains for lost or spent revenues and for two business grant programs designed to help small businesses directly.

Senate GOP leaders will have their own competing spending ideas that will figure into negotiations with House counterparts. Both Stein and Republican lawmakers want to get more Helene spending out the door early this year to address immediate needs. Additional funds are expected in the two-year state budget that would take effect July 1.

The legislature already has appropriated close to $1 billion since last fall for Helene aid in the weeks after it made landfall in late September.'
'“This is just the next step in this process,” House Speaker Destin Hall told Tuesday's committee meeting. "Somebody asked me earlier, ‘How many bills are we going to need to do this?’ And my answer is — and I know you all feel the same — it’s going to be as many as it takes for us to get it done to rebuild western North Carolina.”

North Carolina state officials reported that Helene damaged 74,000 homes and thousands of miles in both state-maintained and private roads, bridges and culverts. State officials projected the storm caused a record $59.6 billion in damages and recovery needs.

Congressional legislation approved in December and other federal actions are projected to provide over $15 billion to North Carolina for rebuilding.'
