  1. Saddam’s story is another astroturfing masterclass. The whole of the world is nothing but a stage. And an occasional meat grinder.

    • @JimmyC

      Show me a “national leader” who is NOT a puppet…

      The African leaders who rejected the MAGAjabs – unless they were not really killed or imprisoned somewhere, they were examples of a truly feral mind.

      But, other than those few, I see mere Muppets.

      • **that was not a reply to mkey, not sure why it appears that way in the thread…

  2. Thank you. Again.
    You are one of the very few people who don’t fall into the good vs evil pattern and can explain motivations of the various power groups so clearly that I feel like an idiot most of the time.

      “…..feel like an idiot most of the time….”

      Instilling a fear of being wrong or looking stupid was a master stroke for the oligarchy.

      That feeling is how most people have been trained to avoid learning anything, since we can only learn by embracing that feeling and being happy we’ve learned something we didn’t know

      • I just like the clarity his documentations can bring.

  3. So nice to have that daikon-headed goofball Cleetus off the main page and replaced with a handsome, well coiffed Deep State Dictator. The adults are back in the room!!

  4. “We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”

    • Karl Watner, publisher/editor of “The Voluntaryist”, had as his motto: “The means determines the end”. It follows, if the means is the initiation of violence, denial of rights, choice, respect, is the end result. Inhuman means do not produce humane ends.
      Moreover, economic power is claimed to be identical with political power, without an argument. That equates the peaceful power of production of goods/services with the power to steal them, of non-violent association with violent association. What does that accomplish? It erases the moral difference between violence for self-defense and violence initiated, of defense and offense.

  5. Another good book to read is: Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces That Put it in the White House & What Their Influence Means for America by Russ Baker
    This looks at the involvment of the Bush family in all of these events.

  6. When the British colonies in the Americas obtained sovereignty, political freedom from The British Empire, the citizens also obtained sovereignty, which gave them political power over their states. They agreed to enter a loose alliance with “The Articles of Confederation”. It worked well, e.g., it didn’t threaten sovereignty. This was a unique political concept internationally. It created a beacon of freedom for all.

    That was a problem for those who wanted control by violence, the worldwide political paradigm. Thus began the conspiracy to establish a document to undermine personal sovereignty. It took about a decade. A confederation became: these United States of America, ruled by the initiation of force as the means to achieve the end of peaceful coexistence. Note: The means contradicted the end. And so, the conflict began between personal sovereignty, e.g., rights, and a ruling class sovereignty, the world paradigm.

    • Voluntetyist
      “…That was a problem for those who wanted control by violence, the worldwide political paradigm. Thus….”

      Who exactly was against ruling by use of violence in the newly independent colonies???

      Slavery was practiced ,and continued ,at the time, enforced wiyh state and socially sanctioned violence.

      Large numbers of Tories got assaulted and run out of the free colonies after the war.

      The former colonies had laws against all manner of things, from sodomy to heresy and used violence to enforce them.

      The colonies used violence to obtain their freedom from British rule and were quite liberal in dispensation of violence upon their opponents before, during, and after the war of independence.

      The prob with your view is that you assume violence to be inhumane, when it is a very normal human behavior.

      Before people assume I’m cheering on violence, I don’t think this is “good” , but it is a feature of fallen human nature- not a weird aberration.

    • @Voluntaryist

      The entirety of North and South America was populated prior to whitey’s invasion, deception, occupation, and theft.

      The omission of these facts is tantamount to denying the most basic truth.

      One does not derive “sovereignty” from such origins or means.

      To claim otherwise is to deny the humanity of all those who were tortured, slaughtered, placed in concentration camps, tortured some more…

      Nothing “voluntary” about it.

  7. Was not 1990 the year NuttyYahoo was introduced to the USA, UN, NATO, Israel?
    I remember.
    Two things introduced in 1990, Tweeter and NuttyYahoo.
    Israel was setting the stage craft.

  8. The two movies I recommended people watch after the 9/11/2001 event:
    Three Kings
    Wag the Dog
    The Siege

    Anyone else know these movies?

    • @The Truth is out there YT

      “What is the problems with Michael Jackson? You know, ‘King of Pop’ – ‘hee hee, hoo hoo…’ What is the problems with Michael Jackson? Your sick f#cking country make the black man hate himself…”

      “Here is your ‘stability,’ my main man…”

      I – “What happened to ‘necessity?'”

      G- “Necessity just changed… We’ll help these people, then we’ll get the gold…”
      _______________

      I haven’t seen that movie in many years, at least fifteen, so I’m just working from memory (and I was stoned out of my gourd for about 20 years, so I don’t expect perfect recall, despite nearly ten years of sobriety).

      Damn good flick.

  9. I’ve started reading a book called Global Tyranny: Step By Step, written in 1992, which demonstrates that the Persian Gulf War was a clear attempt to bring about control by global government.
    With that in mind, and with the alleged fact Saddam had 100+ body doubles, how can one say he was ever killed?
    An open question, it seems.

  10. I rack my brain, but I still wonder what would have happened had I ran instead.

    • Hanky,
      Ur a rackin’ my balls here. You got a cue trying to figure it out. I stepped out of line to retrieve
      my trusty Texican book of translation and phrases to cypher with. Like most here in the north l ran so far away to avoid the Clash… reference.

  11. Question for Corbett:

    When exactly did the face muzzles catch on in Japan?

    In response to my criticism of nearly all of Japan donning muzzles during the COVID scamdemic, I received a ‘that’s old news’-styled attenuation statement.
    Specifically: “Japan has always been a mask heavy nation”.

    Of course I knew this wasn’t true but it got me wondering at exactly what point the muzzles did start to catch on.

    I always assumed it was probably during the 2003 SARS scam but upon gathering & studying Tokyo footage from all years, back through the 90’s (increasingly difficult to do because of Google’s efforts to erase history), it appears the muzzles were essentially non-existent until around 2005, at which point they were still very rare.

    In fact, it appears that all the way up to the start of the COVID scamdemic (even through H1N1), the muzzles remained fairly rare (around 2% or less).

    If this is the case, then the news photos & footage showing muzzled Japan (during SARS & H1N1) must have been fabrication or deception; perhaps depicting a very brief event or a very specific location, such as the Airport, where the muzzles were required?

    As a trustworthy person who’s been living in Japan for a long time, you’re just the person to set the record straight.
