Strange Days
What's Up ^ | 19 Jun, 2023 | James Howard Kunstler

“Team Brandon has also made the USA utterly toxic to 80% of humanity. Sort of what they accused Trump of doing but they actually did it! LOL. They are the gift that keeps on giving.” — Jacob Dreizin.

Strange doings at a strange time in a strange land. Videos of widespread military vehicle maneuvers around our nation popped up on the Web at mid-weekend while the American citizenry went about its holiday weekend business (including Father’s Day revels and “Juneteenth” celebration mass shootings): Scenes of armored personnel carriers rolling down Walnut Street in downtown Philly; B2 bomber wings over Minnesota; Tank columns galumphing along an Idaho highway… leading to widespread suspicions that something untoward is up. Durned if I know what it is.

Tanks on highway, Great Falls, Idaho

Among things one can know: The “Joe Biden” presidency is whirling around the drain in plain sight, and with it, likely, the Globalist hopes and dreams of making everybody eat bugs while they take away everything you own. Last week, audiotapes surfaced of the main parties to the Ukraine grift (Biden and Poroshenko) working things out in 2016 over the phone in “JB’s” final days as vice-president. Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee has got its mitts on Biden family bank records galore detailing the abstruse money-laundering activities that were run through obscure European banks and innumerable Biden shell companies. Well, sonofabitch…!

It’s getting hard even for Democrats to ignore the accumulating evidence of the Biden family’s global grift operation, and “JB’s” obvious advancing mental deterioration, provoking moves that should lead to his ejection from office. Last week, their captive mainstream news media broadcast a cavalcade of embarrassing public idiocies committed by the Commander in Chief — declaring “God save the Queen” incongruously at the end of a Gun Safety Summit in Connecticut; groping actress Eva Longoria’s boobs after a White House movie screening; cracking a weird joke about the “Philadelphia girl” in his bed (Dr. Jill Biden); being introduced at an I-95 bridge collapse event by brain-damaged PA Senator John Fetterman who tossed up a word salad about the federal “delegadation” aiming to fix “infructure,” while dressed-up looking like Uncle Fester out of The Addams Family. The indignity of it all was really something to behold.

You understand, “Joe Biden’s” reelection campaign is another rank hoax, yet another trip laid on the American public by a desperate, degenerate Democratic Party that doesn’t know what to do next with public opinion souring on it. There’s no way this gibbering near-corpse can run again. He can’t even perform as a puppet anymore. He’s a broke-down engine pulling a train of failure, perfidy, and treason five miles long behind him. The Ukraine war project he presides over looks more and more like an effort to conceal and cover-up his family’s bribery schemes by laying waste to the pitiful chump of a foreign land that went along with the grift — and which, anyway, is winding up as yet another American military humiliation with the Russians finishing off what’s left of Ukraine’s army in the failed “spring offensive.”

Do you suppose that all these military vehicle movements around the country in recent days signal a constitutional crisis in the offing, necessitating martial law? Let me lay it out: Absolutely no one believes that Vice-president Kamala Harris is up to the job of stepping-in when “Joe Biden” gets bum-rushed out of the White House. Nor, I’m sure, are they willing to force her to resign hastily without a substitute vice-president (say, Gavin Newsom) in place — a cumbersome process that requires approval by both the House and Senate. But if Harris were flat-out forced to resign, then Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) would automatically become president....

To be honest, I doubt they do. I think everything pushed in the news online or TV is all BS and is just being fed to us. It makes absolutely no sense that folks believe the country is doing well under Biden.

Some very interesting points. Had not thought of it, but someday historians looking to simplify things may well say the Ukraine war was engineered to cover up corruption by our ruling families.

And I would not rule out possible dire implications of military vehicles on our highways. But I would point out the summer is when the National Guard does a lot of training every year. National Guard convoys on highways are common every summer. Is that what folks are seeing?

And gutless, as well.

In The Matrix series, there was the choice of taking the "red pill" or the "blue pill".

From other sources, we have this advisory label:

The question is asking us whether reality, truth, knowledge are worth pursuing. The blue pill will leave us as we are, in a life consisting of simple belief and blind faith and unexamined habits with what we have been handed and memorize and hold as truth. The blue pill leaves us with the comfort of the many things we believe we will receive if we take part in the everyday world and do not examine much at all. We choose this pill if we believe that we do not need truth to live. The blue pill lets us keep our identities and our allegiances with family and friends undisturbed.

The red pill is the path of Philosophy and Reasoning and Critical Thinking and Science and testing. This should open up to the possibility that not all beliefs that we hold to be true are actually true and that it might be of some value to question beliefs and to examine them to determine which beliefs have more evidence and reason to support them and distinguish them from others with less support. Philosophy is a method for doing that examination concerning some of the most basic questions and issues human have ever confronted.

For the record the article calls this a tank, well that is not a tank. That is an image of a piece of self propelled artillery.

Not if the ruling families win. If they win, statues will be erected to Joe, Jill and Hunter.

It’s summer time.

This is the time of the great migration of the ‘NG’s to the nations highways, for very brief and obtrusively SLOW convoys.

The stoopid paranoia of some is getting ridiculous.

That isn’t a tank. That is a self-propelled 155mm howitzer.

It used to be they were worker/farmer/union ideologues but now they are pure socialist — anti-capitalist — and want to “tear it all down.”

What was that quote for John Durham the other day about these FBI abuses possibly leading to the end of America as we know it?

I can’t find it on the internet, I’m sure it’s buried somewhere - it will soon be done the memory hole.

It was during Harriet Hagerman’s questioning of Durham which was absolutely brilliant. I don’t have the direct quote but he agreed with her that the fallout from the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax and the two tiered justice system would be the end of the republic. I was shocked when I saw it. Youtube has her turn at questioning memory holed. It’s very difficult to find unless you go through the entire hearing.

Whatever became of all the nutty stuff from the Black Helicopter days when we had thread after thread about concentration camps being built everywhere, even on the roofs of abandoned Walmarts, and the military hiring concentration camp guards, military equipment on trains, and so on?

Those were weird threads and there were a lot of them.

Two days a month.
Two weeks a year.

It is Reserve and Guard time to play.

Been in them and seen them as I traveled on business

They’re in on the grift, is why. They get their 10% of the 10% of the 10% of the trillions, so why complain?
