It’s been a busy day, so let’s just do a quick update on several topics. We’re beginning to see more signs that the Deep State and the political establishment of the collective West—with the exception of the Neocons—is coming to the realization that they need to get on an off ramp from Ukraine. We’ve covered this emerging realization in several recent posts, and each day seems to bring more data to confirm the reality of this situation. After all the MBT hype last week, we’re seeing stories from multiple countries that feature the professional NATO “militaries” saying, Woops! We can’t do that. They’re already stripped bare. The UK can’t spare even a handful of tanks, same with the French. The German military is in the same boat. And the US supposed promise of M1 Abrams tanks is looking increasingly shaky. And that’s without even getting into the problems of logistics. Same goes for F-16s and every other advanced weapons systems.
"Sadly, we all know from the Russia-collusion canard what this means: The loop has been closed, and the circular reporting has begun. So now, as proof of the Times’ reporting on Barr and Durham, we have the fact that the Senate Judiciary Committee intends to investigate the special counsel probe."
""One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us ... Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." - Carl Sagan
There's obviously a massive internal battle going on in DC, and to a lesser extent in the capitals of Europe between the neocon warmongers and Deep Staters with a remaining shred of sanity. Let's hope that these are signs that the latter are coming out on top. Any offers to Putin are going to have to be damned good to convince him.
Now wouldn’t it be ironic if one aspect of “Crazy Vlad’s” original war plan was to sucker the West into wasting its weapons and military machinery in a war it couldn’t possibly win? Relying on the neo-cons consummate arrogance and penchant for fighting an enemy that doesn’t exist, like a Russian economy that was teetering on the brink and only needed a teeny, tiny little push to send it crashing down, I can definitely envision Putin and his Generals looking at one another and smiling while thinking, “Yeh, these clowns are just that stupid”!
I’m just spitballing but I don’t think it’s too far fetched to suggest that it’s a real possibility.
Everything that the neocons and saber rattlers have said has been proven wrong and all the damage that has been done has fallen almost entirely on the US and its allies!
The Russians have been playing chess and we’ve been playing grab ass. What an absolute catastrophe. Sound military and strategic planning beats hot air and bullshit every time-pardon my French.
Viet Nam in 1973? We won. There was a peace treaty signed in Paris. Viet Nam fell when the North invaded two years later. That wasn't our war. Congress rejected all American participation.
As for Barr, the Revolution eats its own. After stating before the election in 2020 he would be on top of it, he then refused to investigate any and all allegations of fraud. Roberts refused to address any cases presented to the SC. Now they are enjoying the gratitude of the people they helped empower.
Mark; shortly after Klinesmith first plead guilty, Bill Shipley, tweeting as Shipedwreckcrew, posted that Klinesmith could have been charged under a federal forgery statute that could get him 20 years for providing the Federal Government forged documents intended to falsely incriminate an American citizen, and that Durham's offer of a false statement plea with a maximum 5 year prison sentence was probably part of the deal.
IANAL and for the life of me cannot remember the text of the statute he posted, but it did pop up in my memory later when I read the Sussman indictment and other court filings. The former head of the FBI's cyber division and an SSA in the Chicago office testified in open court in the Sussman trial that the Trump-Alfabank white papers were more than likely fabricated by whoever provided them to the FBI (Joffe and the Georgia Tech researchers), and that the "7th Floor of the FBI" ins8sted on launching an investigation based on the data even after being informed of this.
Wouldnt providing this fabricated data to the FBI meet the elements of the forgery statute referenced above? And provide Durham a means to charge the AlfaBank hoaxsters--and perhaps FBI officials themselves--for using forged data to launch an invest8gation on Trump? And wouldnt the decision of Durham to target Sussman instead be a sign that the fix was in?
This failure, the war, the Swift system we disallowed Russia to use, the ability of Russia to sell it's resources elsewhere, and the loss of status and respect of the US from the world was planned from the beginning to be a failure. JB got his instructions from our adversaries, who knows which? How many different countries has he gotten money from? We know of Russia, Ukraine, and China. We suspect many more, that's the Biden's MO pay to play, no reservations.
Possibly it will be proved later, especially if it's investigated. JB's supporters want the US reduced down to the lowest level possible, and they are having success.
But JB has more plans, or actually his handlers do. He will have 2 more years, and look how much damage he has done already! This coming recession is supposed to be a very bad one, because it's a continuation of the 2008 mess. Nothing was fixed then, and the "can" was kicked down the road. We need help from God to survive the next 2 years,. I hope the damage can be repaired, but with the inflation, this damages other countries and our status as reserve currency is ending, with a great deal of responsibility of this due to Biden.
Another great article Mark - thank you. You probably explained this in an earlier post but why do you refer to Biden as Zhou? I realise he’s sold out to the CCP but why that name? I sometimes want to share your articles with friends but I think they’ll find the Zhou references confusing 😊

Not that I have a clue about any of this but: in the Talmud a good story explaining some serious point is called a midrash. Anyone is free to write one about anything. The more learned and respected you are to respect yours gets. Here’s my midrash on the Joe Biden/deep state end game:
Joe is being set up to take the fall via a not so sudden diagnosis of incurable senile dementia (as we used to call it back when I was a nursing home administrator.)
As some famous person said when asked how you go bankrupt: “slowly, then quickly”. That’s about how Joe’s sudden disappearance is going to be explained.
Next Kamala (god help us) rides in on her white horse declaring PEACE in our Time!
Some ungrateful reporter will tell her we tried that once before and she will babble something unintelligible. But no matter.
She declares the war in Ukraine must stop. She hate death because you know death is killing and wrong. Go tell Putin I’m coming to stop it.
Putin never heard anything so absurd but he has to meet her because she must a joke. But lol they make peace.
Kamala becomes the conquering hero and goes on to defeat the deep state because they can’t control her. No one can.

Hi, Wayne! It's on my playlist for tonight. Looking forward to what Ritter has to say! Have a good day.

Speaking of NeoCon's... saw today where Tony B is calling out the Israeli's to "pull their weight" for Ukraine. What a joke.
Why Misfud's a CHS of course.
Isn't it common for Germany e.g. Die Welt to do an "about face" these days? I mean so much self reflection is so evident in their thinking. LOL.

Love this line over at MOA regarding France sending over 12 more Caesar howitzers:
"They've been very successful in Ukraine, so the Ukrainians will be delighted, I am sure, to get another 12." Why not make it a baker's dozen???

edit: Oh, left off that France only has 77 remaining...
