"One catches a whiff of panic in the air. A note of hysteria, doubt whether our Neocon masters actually have a clue. We already knew they didn’t have the welfare of ordinary Americans at heart, but do they have any clue of any sort at all?"
From the beginning of this takover by bidenobamadeepstate, I have been convinced it was by design, an evil plan by luciferian bots wearing human costumes, out to destroy so they can Build Back Better.
Occasionally I read something written by people smarter than me that chips away at my conviction and there is a slight chance all this is chaos is a result of stupid actions fueled by arrogance, incompetence and greed and these fools are winging it.
Not that it will make things current or future any better, but in a weird way, I want to believe the latter. And depending on the day, I'll briefly let myself believe in the winging it/no clue theory.

I am not struggling to find the words to express my moral disgust. The effect that the American Empire’s ruling elite has on normal human beings, at home and around the world, is total indiffernce. Those of us who do not live in Wonderland or 'Through the Looking Glass' are not impressed with the genius of these Humpty Dumpties. They run the world? Not my world. That is the role of the Creator.
True, they have the power to make difficulties and create roadblocks for us, that too by the will of the Creator, but I doubt they can transform normal human instincts, and normal people who have a conscience will continue to live a moral life.
One comment and a question. First the comment. Watching that young women enrages me, literally enrages me. The NCAA and all of the ideologically associated people, groups, corporations, etc are creating conditions or otherwise acquiescing in behavior that defies description. They have lit a fuse that they have no idea how to control. Shame on all of them.
My question. As I've stated and displayed here, I'm no rocket scientist but, regarding the dollar; Am I correct in assuming the inflationary Armageddon will be caused by all of the dollars recently held by foreign nations and the like returning here? That sounds logical to me but, would like someone to fill in the blanks for me - if possible to do so in a short paragraph. The country will be flooded with an untold amount of dollars with nowhere for them to go. Correct?? If the answer is yes then we are headed for fiscal catastrophe. Its really hard to comprehend.
I believe you are correct, T. Paine. As a general principle, too much money spent chasing too few goods causes inflation (that is, the prices of the goods will rise in accordance with the amount of money available to compete for them). Great examples of this occur when fiscal spending or Fed "quantitative easing" puts more money into the economy. But ANYTHING that would cause more money to be put into the economy would have the same effect. Some people call that "demand-pull inflation." This is why the Fed attempts to constrain inflation by decreasing the money supply. A sudden influx of overseas dollars into the U.S. economy would do the trick.
US Military dominance lead to Financial Dominance, (consider: WWII loans to the Allies coupled with Bretton Woods) with the latter required to maintain the former once Empire Building ensued (described here well as the Rules Based Order). A much broader cabal is in play now, of course (Davos thru NeoCons and others glomming on). I just would note, Freedom 'for the world' from Enforcement of the RBO doctrine is not Liberty: just freedom from prosecution. Military Dominance that led to Financial Dominance won't be realized when the circumstance is reversed. We're seeing that in the Ukraine/Russia proxy war.
What is not mentioned by Larry is the spreading of (American) perversion is a Root-Value of Marixm. While publicly/officially decried by US leaders, Marxism appeals to the masses as 'all are equal' but is particularly appealing to an Elite Ruling Class in that always in Marxist societies there are 2 classes - with the ruling class doing quite well while the middle class is eliminated. To me, this Marxist infusion appears to drive much in all this. e.g. destruction of Faith, Family and (real) Freedom as our Constitution tried to define and promote is antithetical to a one-world order type result.
Last comment for the day from me: Gold is commonly considered price-manipulated due to the huge Paper Gold trading aspect. With the prospect of a Russian/Chinese alternative financial alliance likely being Gold-Backed (which appeals strongly to the BRICS, etc.) gold value is a huge danger for Dollar Hegemony. Remember, our genuine solid financial foundation has turned to cr@p since teh 1965/1971 move away from the Gold Standard. It's no accident that happened considering the empowerment of US Dollar Monetary Controls and that RBO program being pursued. As always, I wish one and all a Blessed Day! (WrH)
Cultural Marxism in the American Elites is driving transgenderism. They see it as the new civil right. It's very strange to watch. but SJW's constantly need to prove their woke creds', least they be accused of being a "HATER". Reminds me of the Japanese Red Army Struggle Sessions, where those not true enough believers were killed.
Good note, Ray. I glitched earlier, missing that perfect moniker of Cultural Marxism. Classic Karl junk couldn't envision many of our 'modern depravity' behaviors that are being weaponized so effectively in promulgating that ideology these days. Hope you have a great week! (WrH)
True that Karl Marx would not go with 'trans' as a tool (not much, if any, history of it during Marx's time), but our 'modern' degeneration is merely evolved to include such. I'll suggest the sexual-perversion, such as pedophilia, may have been acceptable for his purposes, whereas the hormonal and surgical changes are fairly recent medical 'advances'. God and the 'Biblical' Family has always been a necessary target for socialist 'governance', that is, worship the gov't and discard God. I think a good approach to battle back is to address family brokenness; as one considers the change in, say, single births + abortions compared to just prior to LBJ's great society, the family has broken down incredibly. Best regards Bobby! (WrH)
G'day Chuck, thanks for your 'like' but more so for your comment. I, too, was in grade school & Jr. Hi during that man's occupation of the office. I didn't understand my mom's dislike of 'The President'. After all, JFK was assassinated while I was in 4th grade and I considered him a hero, how could a President not be such? Well, LBJ's legacy continues to depict an ultimate anti-hero to me still today. He became a model for many more like him to follow-promoting socialism and actual, horrendous racism.
If you do read today's posting by Mark on the 'American Body Politic: (etc.)' you'll perhaps see how your comment here reminded me of my posting here. & I ache in that truth spoken of in those referenced articles.
I do hope for you and your loved ones to have a wonderful weekend. Blessings Chuck, (WrH)
"Since world geopolitics is not a zero sum game, a game with a finite set of marbles in play, for the American Empire to retain its dominance it must always be expanding the reach of its Rules Based Order." I would argue, Mark, that for the US and British neocons, geopolitics IS a zero sum game: my way or the highway.
"Transgenderism is a leftist-induced mental illness that is intended to achieve two very specific ends that will empower statism: First, it destroys the family. This is overtly achieved by the groomers in and outside of schools who tell children that “we’re your family,” and more covertly achieved by making these mentally damaged people physically and emotionally incapable of having children. Second, it makes these same people utterly dependent on the government to pay for the lifelong medical costs associated with hormones and surgery."
As you may be doing at this moment, today's Posting addresses the need of this hope. I share in that Hope, Chuck. Despair is barking at my heels as I read news, etc. to the point I am reducing time in that arena.
A take away I got some encouragement for was the reminder God will not be defeated if/when the US 'goes the way of all nations'. It's hard when I was a part of this country's success AS a place that Honored our Creator rather than hate Him. Best always for you sir! (WrH)
But why are kids so fragile and prone to mental illness like this these days? There have always been fads. This is different. It’s not healthy. Or mere competition. No longer just a need to be one of the popular kids. It’s to be famous, maybe? Or just to get back at your parents for imagined slights? Those are from the kid point of view, of course, and kids are only pawns. Who is the chess master?
G'evening July! (Is is Ms. July???) I guess I got older along the way, but as an urban youth I was required to socialize in person, play/interact with imagination and the Technology of concern was what too much TV might do to we lil'uns brains... My grandsons don't go outside; 'socialize' in their bedroom with their tablet or phone and are fed 'things to think' via that same Technology. It's what they use for gaining social skills, strength, imagination/discovery/learning from experience - or rather - not gaining all that. Kinda like Antibiotics for germs; there's no substitute for personal and hands-on learning... Our natural immune system is better able to deal with a wide variety of bugs versus getting treated for every sniffle and ear-ache with Antibiotics ending up creating resistant super-bugs. Long and somewhat strange analogy, but I hope you see what I am trying to convey... Better living through Technology (like Better living through Chemistry) has great value but is possibly worse, over-all if the only avenue accessed. Hope you have a great week! (WrH)
G'day Mark, I suggest a big of cart-before the horse here: maintaining dollar dominance is requiring destruction of our Morals-based Governance; Trans and the wide variety of moral-degenerate focus points are tools. God, Family and Justice are enemies that require being attacked to promote/prolong/achieve/empower that statism Andrea suggested. It is right that the attacks are enabled by said dollar dominance: and the attacks are attempts to preserve/expand it. My best always sir! (WrH)
I'm sure it is being deliberately planned and instigated by the usual suspects who hate all that is good and true. But it's also the usual stuff that happens when Empires die. It's just being oxygenated out of all proportion by the social media.
I submit the emergence of reality based entertainment like "Survivor" is in the same vein. These shows encourage duplicity and false friendship to win at all costs. We talk endlessly about values, but what are they really, selfishness, greed, and perversion?
I certainly don't claim to present exhaustive studies of these events in our society. The Rand version is obviously propaganda on a number of levels. "Since at least the 1940s" is a legit way to view the international order agenda, but as with so much of our current order the roots can probably be traced back to the progressive era.
"Once (centuries ago) a real player on the international scene, with perhaps imperial aspirations" ...
And still a wannabe. For many years the Danes have eavesdropped on the Germans on behalf of the US. That went public when they were caught collecting Merkel's phone conversations for us. They have stationed their military around the globe in support of our forever war, including in Afghanistan:
"A War follows a company of Danish soldiers in Afghanistan. You may be as incredulous as I was—Danes in Afghanistan? And as soldiers? It turns out, however, that the Danish government and elites were able to sell the war to Danes as a humanitarian effort, to assist Afghans in retrieving their country from the Taliban and help women gain rights. Around 2010 Denmark had about 750 troops in the war, one of the highest participation rates for any country based on national population, and Denmark’s casualty rate was exceeded only by Canada and Estonia. So the idea of a movie about Danish troops in Afghanistan is not as incongruous as I originally assumed."
It seems the Danes really haven't learned that much, since they were undoubtedly complicit in the Nordstream terror attack and have shipped anti-tank and heavy artillery systems to Ukraine--having been active trainers of the Ukraine military with the Brits since 2014. In other words, having left Afghanistan in 2013 they promptly went all in in support of the US installed fascist regime in Ukraine.
The presumption and argument used to be that "Democracy" and "Freedom" were prerequisites for Capitalism to function properly. There was certainly SOME truth to that. And there was a bit of vice-versa argued, too. Those arguments were always presented in populist (and popular) terms such as "we are championing and empowering the locals, wherever they might be and whatever their circumstances and cultural traditions." (See "Arab Spring.")
Now, the reality of the West's corporatist fascism and imperialism is much more apparent and disqualifying of that argument. I think one should be forgiven for thinking that the PTB want to "make the world safe for oligarchical rule." When you add the cultural imperialism aspect, in which "our values" have been perverted and weaponized toward the rest of the world, any possible altruistic motives on the part of the West should be (and are being) easily dismissed.
God rules over all but when we no longer respect his rule, when we ban him from the public square and defiantly and proudly flout his rule, calling his rules offensive and hateful, and persist in doing so, he lets us have our way and leaves us to our own devices. In ancient Israel, God told Jeremiah to quit praying for these people, they were headed for exile in Babylon, so stop the useless prayers for them. They had passed the point of no return. Have we?

Our values are being eroded much like those of ordinary US citizens. US crazies are strongly influencing our crazies, and the crazies are taking over.

Andrea Widburg today:

Enabled by dollar dominance.
"Enabled by dollar dominance."
Then perhaps that program is soon to be disabled. Yay for that!
But my main preference is for national revival.

I hope not! Check out Mario Murillo's book, It's Our Turn. He still has hope for our nation, through God, through revival.
