It’s easy to vote for Socialism. The impossible part is paying for it. Comment by moonmac on “Is America Heading For A Systems Collapse?” By Victor Davis Hanson, ZeroHedge, 1/21/22. Many interesting comments.

I grow weary over reading about asinine — but widespread — claims that this or that is DISINFORMATION. The essence of the charge is that certain statements are reprehensible, unacceptable, poisonous, vicious, deleterious, horrific, right-wing, and generally bad manners, so utterly irresistible and beguiling that any hearer must figuratively bind himself to the mast to …

The figure [150,000 female deaths from anorexia] has been quoted by everyone from Ann Landers to college textbooks, because as Carol Iannone remarks about the general atmosphere of women as victims, “It is almost as if feminism had finally discovered a problem that can unite all women across all barriers: the existence of men.” “The …

Stating the obvious since whenever:

FURTHERMORE, we have also been living through the most massive, globally coordinated propaganda and censorship campaign in the history of the human race. All major mass media and the social media technology companies have coordinated to stifle and suppress any discussion of the risks of the genetic vaccines AND/OR alternative early treatments. “What if the …

Dr. Peter McCullough: “Lots of messaging on the vaccine, but zero mentioning on treatment, none. And it’s been from the very beginning. There is a theme here, I hope everyone’s starting to get the theme. There is zero effort, interest, promotion, or care about early treatment, people who are sick with COVID-19,” said McCollough. “But …

From one of the best articles you will read about the Covid-19 hysteria and the real agenda of those creating it: In the [unreal] Metaverse, a public health crisis caused by a virus has zero medical advice given out to people, but just a relentless barrage of talk about cases, hospitalisations and deaths, with all …

Yes, the 1% now own more wealth than the entire US middle class, a definition traditionally reserve[d] for kleptocracies and despotic African banana republics.[1] This ZeroHedge year end review from which this is taken is well worth your time to read in its entirety.

But without question, Mr. Powell deserves much derision for waiting until inflation reached a multi-decade high before starting to taper asset purchases, let alone begin to raise interest rates off the current level of 0%.[1] There’s much more in this article which taxes my non-existent financial acumen. At some point I suppose I should, like, …

Glenn Greenwald’s excellent take: All that said, there is a core truth — an unintentional one — that lies at the crux of this elite war on “disinformation.” It is absolutely true that U.S. political discourse is drowning in deliberate disinformation campaigns and lies. It is also true that this disinformation epidemic is a serious …

Much of this reminds me of World War I, the “Great War.” Look up the causes. They are all amorphous. Nationalism. An assassination. Treaties. Diplomatic confusions. The Serbs. Meanwhile none of these reasons can actually account for 20 million dead, 21 million wounded, and wrecked economies and lives all over the world, to say nothing …
