The Globalist West may be panicking for real in the wake of the BoJo no-confidence vote—a vote which he survived, but from which he emerged seriously damaged. I’m including Alexander Mercouris’ explanation of how this went down, because UK parliamentary politics are so complicated. In essence, Mercouris is saying that to survive convincingly BoJo could only afford to lose x-number of votes, even if he technically wins.
I for one, certainly hope that what’s coming will max the political Richter Scale!
I am sick to death of these bungling idiots ,who consider themselves soooo much smarter than everyone else, running around as if they actually know what they are doing.
It is my sincere hope that their arrogant and condescending manner along with
the Keystone Cops planning method of which they are so fond, comes back and bites them on their collective asses!
I wanted to "circle back" on that local county election in GA after I had time to look more at the numbers. It was already startling that the results we so different between the machine count and the hand recount, but after putting them into Excel and looking at them from another perspective I'm finding that out of the 15,449 votes in the recount (12,639 by machine), the errors are worse if you look at it as how many "wrong" votes in total were tallied.
Alexander - was shorted 348 votes
Spears - was shorted 3,616 votes
Orson - received 1303 extra votes
So in reality, there were ~5300 votes (I added the small number of absentee also) out of 15,449 that were miscounted by the machines. Now we know what the supposedly insane dems are going full speed ahead with their destroy the USA policies.
By the way, Luongo has a great piece on the latest efforts to wreck not only energy extraction, but also refining. I guess to nudge us all to get wind up cars...
I'm surprised the globalists aren't more concerned with our total lack of confidence in our regime. Washington may be calling all the shots for the moment, but is unlikely to find public support for any of their policies. And our economy.....
Boris Johnson hasn't been the same since he was in the hospital with COVID. After that, nothing he has done has made any sense, either strategically or politically. As in the US, the British Deep State used COVID to completely undermine the executive, only Johnson went along with it willingly.
On the Don Surber article: A decision bigger than guns and abortion looms. If he is correct in how SCOTUS will rule on carbon emissions, it will effectively eliminate the EPA from such decision making (as well as other faceless bureaucrats in other agencies) in the future. And with that, the Deep State will lose much of the control it has gained over the individual states. What a new world that would bring.
You may be right. We'll know soon enough. I can see Roberts, Kavanaugh, or Barrett deserting to the Deep State based on previous rulings. But for me, I hope Don Surber's guess is the correct one.
Yes, state governors would once again become powerful - be it for good or bad. But citizens can leave a state (as we are currently witnessing) where government is an overbearing high tax nanny state. Not so much the country.
Then, of course, the U.S. congress would actually have to write and pass laws and be held to account by their constituents. And with this currently divided congress, the fewer laws passed the better.
Good piece just published on MoA, pointing out the "surprise" of many in our Globalist braintrust to the boomerang effects of Western sanctions regimes that were otherwise readily apparent to those of us normies who live in a world of realpolitik. Upon coming to this realization, a German former writer for the Financial Times put it like this:
"Unless we cut a deal with Putin, with the removal of sanctions as a component, I see a danger of the world becoming subject to two trading blocs: the west and the rest. Supply chains will be reorganised to stay within them. Russia’s energy, wheat, metals, and rare earths will still be consumed, but not here. We keep the Big Macs."
Especially since he feels the West can't be trusted, and one of his goals is to destroy the current Western benefited Economic Set Up, and replace it with one fairer to Russia.
I have a feeling he played, "Don't throw me in that briar patch..." And now he is in, he does not want to leave yet.
As usual things are more complicated. Russia has a very strong hand for now but even Russia won't do well in a global economic depression. Those commodities need paying customers and there aren't alot of healthy economies out there. Russia can't be too choosy.
To further complicate, China is not Russia's pal. They have mutual interests for now but also basic antagonisms. It's entirely possible that Xi could do Vlad dirty and cut a deal w Sock Puppet if enough sweetener is offered, so Russia can't take Chinese support for granted.
As I see it, Russia is trying to ride an empty barrel in a stormy sea, hoping to be the last one to stay above water. Ideally they want to see the US and EU weakened and China relatively weak as well. Russia will try to develop a bloc of developing nations that can withstand the inevitable collapse of the financialized G7. Very tricky.
Putin will be pressuring EU countries to enter into stable economic relations with Russia, and those countries will be feeling domestic political pressure to do exactly that. Russia doesn't really intend to cut itself off.
I for one, certainly hope that what’s coming will max the political Richter Scale!

Hear, Hear!!

I thought the proposed Disinformation Governance Board was a strong indicator of their concern.
Or were you speaking of concern in the sense of prompting a course correction? Ha!

Yes, and he almost died, as I recall

It is because the decision would undermine the Deep State that I think it almost certain the court won't rule against the EPA.
If they do rule against it, they can easily tailor a narrow decision to preempt any threat to the deep state.

Time for another $2 million book deal for ACB and maybe a new one for Brett.
What gives me hope is that I've read that both Brett and Amy are very anti- deference to admin agency interpretations.
Admin agencies is how America is ruled. A fundamental change in the law would be huge.

I'm looking for some real simple laws, like: "Effective immediately, the Department of Education is eliminated."
I have a list, and I'm ready to consult!

Just finished it. Terrific. Now to read the linked stuff.
Thanks. Forgot to check there this morning.
And why should Putin cut a deal?
Especially since he feels the West can't be trusted, and one of his goals is to destroy the current Western benefited Economic Set Up, and replace it with one fairer to Russia.
I have a feeling he played, "Don't throw me in that briar patch..." And now he is in, he does not want to leave yet.

@Ginned Up - Makes sense.
China does tributaries, not Allies or partners.
My guess the minimum deal Putin will accept will be a new Breton Woods based on real commodities. Some how defanging the us economic warfare weopon.
Putin will be pressuring EU countries to enter into stable economic relations with Russia, and those countries will be feeling domestic political pressure to do exactly that. Russia doesn't really intend to cut itself off.
Agreed! That's a whole 'nother story...
