The United State Of ‘Go Figure’…<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cForced obedience to obvious lies is the essence of totalitarianism. It\u2019s the ultimate flex for psychopaths.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Dr. Toby Rogers<\/em><\/p>\n

You realize, don\u2019t you, that everything going on around the Ukraine fiasco on the NATO side is completely insane?<\/strong> The folks running the US government \u2014 Barack Obama and his witches\u2019 coven \u2014 started the whole thing over there in concert with a gang of corporate players (BlackRock, sundry oil-and-gas companies, Haliburton types, arms-makers, bunch of big banks), plus the dastardly WEF for \u201cguidance\u201d (ha!), looking to grab the mineral wealth of Ukraine and, ultimately, of Russia itself. Nice try. Didn\u2019t work out. Tons of money pounded down a rat hole.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, the chatter is that we (NATO) \u201ccan\u2019t afford to lose.\u201d Yeah? But we\u2019re losing.<\/strong> Russia will hold the eastern Ukraine provinces and what\u2019s left in the rest of Ukraine will be a failed state drained of men under sixty able to work at anything, bankrupt, broken. It will take a century, if ever, for Ukraine to recover from all that and the West will have gained nothing. Anyway, that\u2019s the true prospect. And so, the West\u2019s \u201csolution\u201d to that humiliating quandary appears to be: start a bigger war, right up to and including nukes. That\u2019s good thinking there, Butch, said Sundance.<\/p>\n

Why the European members of NATO wanted to go along with this nickel-plated clusterfuck is an abiding puzzle of history now, like who exactly bumped off JFK in 1963. Germany, the Euro club\u2019s biggest economy, stood by listlessly while America blew up its supply of affordable natgas (the Nord Stream pipelines), which was an act of war by us against Germany. Apparently, Olaf Scholz went to our CIA station in Berlin for a haircut one day and came out with a lobotomy, staring blankly through the whole affair like a Hinterw\u00e4lder steer on the killing floor. Meanwhile, goodbye industrial economy! Nice knowing you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looks like it\u2019s back to the fourteenth century, living on rough black bread, sleeping with the cattle under your house for heat in winter, fighting jihadis inside your town walls. . . .<\/p>\n

What is the purpose, you ask yourself, of this new world war we\u2019re itching to start? And why now, exactly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stupid answers may be the correct ones.<\/p>\n

To furnish an emergency pretext allowing \u201cJoe Biden\u201d (Barack Obama & Co.) to \u201cpostpone\u201d the election?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If so, I guess they want a hot civil war even more than WWIII, because that\u2019s what they\u2019ll get. Or is it just to complete the destruction of the USA, turning us into a failed state run by a tranny Mamluk-ocracy? Or is it, as Ed Dowd has averred, to cover up the imminent implosion of the US \/ Euroland debt debacle?<\/p>\n

To provide cover for all that, the West held a fake peace conference at a five-star resort in Switzerland last week<\/strong> \u2014 flutes of Louis Roederer Cristal Brut with langoustine mousse in puff pastry boats . . . to die for! (and you just might) \u2014 and you know how serious the USA was because we sent our ace problem-solver Veep Kamala Harris, who cackled and hee-hawed her way through a session or two and then. . . just. . . split the scene, mysteriously. Russia, was conspicuously not invited, by the way. Whose idea was that?<\/p>\n

Mr. Putin marked the occasion by issuing a sane proposal to commence peace negotiations so plain, simple, and straightforward that even \u201cJoe Biden\u201d might have gotten the drift: 1) withdraw Ukrainian troops from Donbas territory that has joined the Russian Federation, and 2) agree that Ukraine not join NATO. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The US and NATO instantly rejected it, on grounds unspecified.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0own search engine this very morning (June 17), the newspaper hasn\u2019t published a news story on the Ukraine War for the past five days. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Go figure . . . .<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

While Veep Kamala Harris was yukking it up over the peace hilarity in Switzerland, \u201cJoe Biden\u201d went to the far more important celebrity fundraiser out in Hollywood, headlined by the likes of actors George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and late-nite snarkist Jimmy Kimmel, that is, certified experts on geopolitical conflict, united in the cause of \u201csaving our democracy\u201d from \u201cthe dictator Trump.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJoe Biden\u201d declared that Donald Trump was bent on \u201cretribution. . . he\u2019s gonna get back at the people.\u201d Roger that.<\/p>\n

But I think he meant that Mr. Trump might open some inquiries into how come the Democratic Party and its Intel blob ran one debilitating lawless hoax after another on our country for the past eight years<\/strong> while bankrupting it and destroying the medical system, the legal system, the currency, higher education, and the US military, not to mention jailing thousands on fake criminal charges and letting ten million alien mutts into the country, many of them jihadis with dubious intentions.<\/p>\n

But never mind all that. $30-million got raised in Hollywood to continue the game of pretend that \u201cJB\u201d is running for reelection. Pretend is what actors actually do, you see. They\u2019re really good at it, and your job is to play along, suspend your disbelief. <\/strong>That\u2019s the essence of showbiz.<\/p>\n

Of course, that chunk of the US population no longer mesmerized by CIA-sponsored disinfo ops is somehow rising implacably in every poll. World War Three might be the only answer for that, after all.<\/p>\n

In any case, Barack Obama himself even came out of the woodwork to lead the cheerleading among the stars in LA. And when the time came, he took the dazed, vacantly grinning \u201cPresident Joe Biden\u201d gently by the elbow and assisted him in shuffling offstage, demonstrating to the whole world how things really work in the United States of America.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
