Thx. Will do.
Meanwhile..
US SC WILL REVISIT
NYT vs SULLIVAN, 1964.
I’m sorry I missed that on the open forum. I don’t visit there much any more. Thank you for the link. You scooped me by a day 😊
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
no, I posted it as a thread because I saw YOUR post - which is why I pinged you to it - I figger why not share some of our stuff with the forum?? Of course it is often a masochistic exercise, looking at the derp comments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m debating whether to take the huge time/effort to post the Devolution articles in entirety on the forum (one at a time) due to the amen chorus of hateful nastiness and professional doom/n/gloom hopelessness. I may... for lurkers. I suspect some people are not on that amen chorus but are afraid to post comments that disagree due to the hyena pack that would attack them.
you have FR mail
He is already ahead of 90% of them at patriots.win. Haha.

Joe Biden’s State Department moved to cancel a critical State Department program aimed at providing swift and safe evacuations of Americans out of crisis zones just months prior to the fall of Kabul, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal....
Well of course they did. This breaking news stuff is all inside baseball. They see these types of reports differently than normal people see them. They are looking for the “Smoking Gun” document or evidence. We understand that one party stole a national election. Anything short of restoring 45 as President and putting a lot of people in jail will be a giant nothing burger. Can’t blame Raheem, he still thinks the work he is doing matters. It really doesn’t matter. Pissing in the wind.
Aha, Easy St - just the person I wanted to see... can you post link to your videos? I want to somehow get them on my twitter. If I can figure out how to do it.
Also do you or does anyone know how to find on the Q drops the image of backs of peoples’ heads looking at big lighted area and I think the words “The Great Awakening” are on it? I’ve tried several times to find it to no avail. Only if I go through the whole 5000 of them and I don’t have time like that lately.
It can’t hurt you, as long as you don’t respond to any snarky responses, and it would be worthwhile if you red-pilled even one person. I’ve read every Devolution article but I can’t remember if there’s ANY mention of Q. If there’s even one, someone will have your post pulled. Maybe copy to a word processing app first, do a search for “Q” and if there aren’t any, you’ll be safe posting it/them on the open forum. I like your idea.
All the cats I’ve ever had were “found” cats - I found them, or they found me, and their offspring. I miss having cats.
I’ve read them all, and IIRC there is not one mention of Q. In some of the comments there are but that’s fine.
squish.

An interesting take on what the fall of Afghanistan really signifies. Even though he doesn’t say it if one reads between the lines he is condemning the elites and deep state.
Farewell to Bourgeois Kings
https://tinkzorg.wordpress.com/2021/08/16/farewell-to-bourgeois-kings/
Excerpt:
...Their spectacular failure on every conceivable level now brings us to the true heart of the matter. Western society today is openly ruled by a managerial class. Where kings once claimed a divine right to rule, and the bolsheviks of old claimed a right to rule as messiahs of a future kingdom on this earth (bearing a conspicuously strong resemblance to a very old tradition of messianic christianity with the serial numbers filed off, by the way) the technocrats of today base their claims to lordship not necessarily on the idea of the democratic will of the people, but on the historical inevitability of technocracy as such....
...Put plainly: managers, through the power of managerialism, were once believed to be able to mobilize science and reason and progress to accomplish what everyone else could not, and so only they could secure a just and functional society for their subjects, just as only the rightful kings of yore could count on Providence and God to do the same thing. At their core, both of these claims are truly metaphysical, because all claims to legitimate rulership are metaphysical. It is when that metaphysical power of persuasion is lost that kings or socialists become ”bourgeois”, in Schmitt’s terms. They have to desperately turn toward providing proof, because the genuine belief is gone....
...I suspect we are currently witnessing the catastrophic end of this metaphysical power of legitimacy that has shielded the managerial ruling class for decades. Anyone even briefly familiar with the historical record knows just how much of a Pandora’s box such a loss of legitimacy represents. The signs have obviously been multiplying over many years, but it is only now that the picture is becoming clear to everyone. When Michael Gove said ”I think the people in this country have had enough of experts” in a debate about the merits of Brexit, he probably traced the contours of something much bigger than anyone really knew at the time. Back then, the acute phase of the delegitimization of the managerial class was only just beginning. Now, with Afghanistan, it is impossible to miss.
It is not just that the elite class is incompetent – even kings could be incompetent without undermining belief in monarchy as a system – it is that they are so grossly, spectacularly incompetent that they walk around among us as living rebuttals of meritocracy itself. It is that their application of managerial logic to whatever field they get their grubby mitts on – from homelessness in California to industrial policy to running a war – makes that thing ten times more expensive and a hundred times more dysfunctional. To make the situation worse, the current elites seem almost serene in their willful destruction of the very fields they rely on for legitimacy. When the ”experts” go out of their way to write public letters about how covid supposedly only infects people who hold demonstrations in support of ”structural white supremacy”, while saying that Black Lives Matter demonstrations pose no risk of spreading the virus further, this amounts to the farmer gleefully salting his own fields to make sure nothing can grow there in the future. How can anyone expect the putative peasants of our social order to ”trust the science”, when the elites themselves are going out of their way, against all reason and the tenets of basic self-preservation, to make such a belief completely impossible even for those who really, genuinely, still want to believe?
The managerial class increasingly appears as a sort of funhouse mirror inversion of the doomed russian nobility of the late tsarist era; they no longer know how to run a country and only seem to parasitize on the body politic while giving almost nothing of value in return. In tsarist Russia, the nobility proved increasingly incapable of winning Russia’s wars or running its ministries, making their legitimating narratives proclaiming them to possess some natural-born right and capacity for rulership increasingly impossible to believe in. In modern America, it is the meritocrats who now openly lack any merit or ability to rule, quickly undermining the ability of the average person to believe in the very foundational claims behind the managerial order. And by what right does the collective of non-divine kings rule? To borrow from Schmitt: by the same right as the collective of stupid and ignorant technocrats. In other words, by virtue of simply not having been replaced yet. Nothing more.
I find it very likely that most future historians will put the date of the real beginning of the collapse of the current political and geopolitical order right here, right now, at the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Just as with any other big historical process, however, many others will point out that the seeds of the collapse were sown much farther back, and that a case can be made for several other dates, or perhaps no specific date at all. This is how we modern people look at the fall of the french ancien regime, after all. Still, it is quite obvious that the epoch of the liberal technocrat is now over.
How long it will take for the institutions to disappear, or before they end up toppled by popular discontent and revolution, no one can know. But at this point, I think most people on some level now understand that it really is only a matter of time.
Yes 🤨
That is devastating. All my elderly relatives eagerly took the deep state poison shots. Very sad situation.
