REPUBLIC REBORN

The pearl clutching over Trump’s tariffs seems a bit insincere coming from the same people who demanded indefinite lockdowns of all economic activity just a few short years ago. Does no one remember that self-inflicted economic disaster, borne out of mindless hysteria? US GDP dropped 33% in the Spring of 2020. State and local economies were being decimated by the unhinged commands of their respective health departments. The CDC issued dictates ex cathedra, no questioning allowed. Heresy was stamped out, heretics jailed or ostracized, while the population was forced to endure the greatest instance of manufactured panic in human history. Millions lost their jobs, thousands of businesses were wiped out, hundreds of thousands died unnecessary deaths in hospitals where health workers committed inhuman acts of cruelty, refusing any and all treatment for their COVID patients outside of a ventilator. These newly reborn tariff experts were at the time demanding imprisonment or even death for those who refused to wear masks, or refused the vaccine. The acolytes of an infant Doomsday cult that emerged as a civilizational chasm, and desperately wished all of us to follow them into the black. How many understand what we lived through, and how close we were to being dragged into apocalyptic totalitarianism? We’ve moved on, appearing to have forgotten all about it, and yet the doomsday congregation still walk among us with the ecstatic taste of that lost future, and will probably be searching for its return for the rest of their lives. And now they’re experts on tariffs, and feign concern for the global economy. It rings hollow.

Trump, with his “liberation day” signing of reciprocal tariffs worldwide, is single-handedly dismantling the era of NAFTA globalization, forcing US trading partners to deal on an even playing field or go home. NAFTA hollowed out American manufacturing, and American culture itself. We became exposed to a global economy that can outcompete us via cheap garbage and an ability to “underlive” American citizens. That insane and cruel state of affairs appears to be rapidly ending. One revelation that is a real head-scratcher has been the fact that Israel has been imposing a 17% tariff on all imported American goods, despite the fact that Israel would not exist without hundreds of billions in American hand-outs. Trump threw a reciprocal 17% tariff on Israeli imports out of fairness, and Israel immediately howled. We are Israel’s largest trading partner, so any tariff is going to be felt severely by that tiny welfare nation. Israel in response has eliminated their tariffs, and now await Trump’s response, but the real question is why the tariff existed in the first place. Israel provides free healthcare to their entire nation, all paid for by the US, while Americans suffer under a grotesque and rapacious healthcare system that bankrupts over half a million US citizens each year. Is there fairness at all in that arrangement? Does our economy exist a as a slush fund for foreign nations? It appears that it has, up until now.

Nationalist, populist Presidential candidates throughout the world are being persecuted and jailed. The latest is shocking: Marine Le Pen, current front-runner in France if elections were held today, has been sentenced to four years in prison, and banned from electoral politics for five years. Charged with the familiar woolly, obscure charges of “embezzlement”, this was clearly a political hit job arranged to prevent a landslide victory for her in 2027, when she would have faced Macron in the Presidential election. This is a familiar story we’ve seen play out in Romania, Brazil, and even in the United States. Trump was subjected to just such persecution, including attempted assassination, to prevent his victory. While it failed here, this lawfare template is working wonderfully in Europe.

It would’ve probably been wise to apply two coats to Trump’s “Golden Age”, so the finish would last longer than two months. Alas, the cracking and flaking has  begun, the cheap cast iron is almost visible, and the rust will set in soon unless something is done. The first sign of trouble was Trump’s declaration that America would “own Gaza”, and permanently and forever remove the native Palestinian population, the real Semites, never allowing them to return. Some of the more retarded MAGA faithful, guffawed and brayed about the coming MAGA strip, developing the land while the bodies of entire families are still decaying just below the ground. Not a good start at all to the New American Age, and I can’t think of a more ominous harbinger of doom. Imagine the karmic energy that would manifest should our government literally build on top of a genocided people.

Other incidents seem to confirm that the Trump administration is Israeli-occupied territory. The Tuesday arrest of Tufts grad student Rumeysa Ozturk by ICE, supposedly for writing an anti-Israel/pro-BDS article ONE YEAR AGO, is a sign that something is amiss, and that a nation other than America is being served by Trump. Ozturk, a Turkish national in the US on a student visa, was essentially kidnapped on the street and whisked away to an ICE detention facility in Louisiana, where she’ll probably remain for weeks until she’s shipped to her home country. The footage of her arrest is terrifying: two plainclothes officers approach her and aggressively grab her, stuffing her into their van, apparently giving her no option to go peacefully. Her arrest comes on the heels of the ICE arrest of another foreign-born “permanent resident”, Mahmoud Khalil, who organized pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University, and who is currently accused of vague crimes by the Trump admin for which they have no evidence.

It couldn’t be plainer that the Trump admin is executing these arrests on behalf of Israel. And while Israel can’t do much about our First Amendment, they can arm-twist their allies in the Trump admin to terrorize their foreign-born critics. The question really boils down to whether students or workers here on a visa are entitled to Constitutional rights granted to full citizens. I’d believe they do. But it’s murky enough that ICE can snatch and transport these people before something can be done legally to stop them. What do the MAGA faithful really believe will be the end result of the normalization of speech crime arrests? American citizens will be the next target. Did we learn nothing during the Bush years?

This isn’t what I voted for. I was told ICE was going to deport hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, not harass and detain Israel’s critics.

Another chip in the gold-plated veneer of Trump’s second term is the recent airstrike against Yemen, which served no American interests; only Israel’s. The strike targeted another supposed Hamas “leader”. The only problem is that Hamas isn’t an enemy of the US. But they are Israel’s enemy, and therein lies the “why” of the airstrike. And let’s not even get into the Signal chat leaks, where national security advisor Mike Walz included a high-profile, Trump-hating journalist on the call. Walz clearly isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but a tool he certainly is. Why he was appointed by Trump is a puzzle

And then we come to RFK Jr., recently-appointed HHS director. While he at least makes a show of doing good work, a recent X post of his raised many eyebrows:

October 7th…holocaust? I think we need to sit RFK down in front of Congress and force him to identify the person who wrote this garbage for him. Certainly, it would be his AIPAC handler, but let’s find out for sure. I’d also like to know what foreign policy has to do with public health in the US. I’d also like to learn more about what Kennedy means when he speaks about “poison” on Ivy league campuses. You mean…free speech? Does no one actually care about free speech, even Trump’s cabinet? Someone has the drop on Kennedy, someone or some organization has leverage on him that is being used to force him to release ridiculous statements like this.

Trump is of course a better President than the alternative, but I’m not going down that road. I’m tired of the “good enough” excuses. I voted for the Golden Age, and that’s what I, and every other Trump voter, expect.

Daredevil, Marvel’s crowning achievement, has been reduced to a poorly-edited, poor-scripted, epicene soap. Complex characters, emotionally, intellectually, morally, have been reduced to hollow men who cannot be watched. Sloppy editing, retarded filler, and a bloated ensemble of Zoomer actors complete with their brain-rot dialogue, have destroyed the only product of Marvel that can be considered true art. Netflix Daredevil was operatic, something that stirred real emotion, wrestled with moral complexities, and didn’t consider the audience to be content-engorged, stultified, hedonistic human slugs. But that’s apparently where we’re at as a culture. “Content” has shouldered art out of the way entirely, and we’re left with Disney once again wearing the skin-suits of formerly great intellectual properties. It’s a friggin insult, is what it is. It’s a scandal. It’s a bad joke, and Disney is laughing harder at your (my) dumb ass with every new release.

Take a look at the immaculate choreography, and complex dialogue, from pre-Disney Darevil, to fully understand what’s been taken from us.

The sheer, relentless, inhuman brutality inflicted upon the Palestinian people of Gaza, with the cherry on top being the total erasure of their history there, has forever cursed the land. Opulent plans are in the works for the redevelopment of Gaza, once the remaining Palestinians are relocated, and made into a ghoulish Israeli resort, built upon the bodies of entire families that haven’t yet decomposed. Is this really what Trump wants? If so, we’ve damned ourselves in the same manner as Israel. The difference is that Israel knows it’s damned, and they don’t care. Is this really the work of “Judaism”, or this something more sinister, something that resembles more a total inversion of Christianity, rather than just another Abrahamic religion?

Israel has made a hooligan’s holiday out of this genocide. They revel in the mass death, the anguish and despair they inflicted, and one wonders how any civilized nation not merely allows it, but funds and supports it enthusiastically? Israel’s entire cultural identity has been built upon the murder and terrorization of the Palestinians. The bloodshed of Palestinians will now cease, because there will be no more to kill. This will create a cultural vacuum, that the Jewish state is already seeking to fill. They’ll no longer have a captive population to murder, rape, torture, and terrorize. Their open-air concentration camp is now gone, and so is their fun. Israel’s allies should fear what their newly idle hands will find to occupy their time.

It’s so astonishing what has happened there, almost unbelievable, an entire people snuffed out, culled like animals. And Israel claim a perverse birthright to slaughter, and the ‘why’ always reverts back to World War 2, the Holocaust, and their supposed historical suffering. Because of this, it is implied, they are entitled to reenact their vengeance over and over unto eternity. Why have we tethered ourselves to this cursed nation, why have we allowed ourselves to be made a party to such evil? Israel is damned, and through our unbridled support, in money, weapons, training, and a blind eye, we too are damned. And Gaza is cursed forever. A crime of this magnitude creates a stain that can never be removed. Whatever God is watching, is surely judging, and we have only to wait for the inevitable retribution. There won’t be forgiveness.

A few weeks ago, Infowars reporter Jamie White was murdered outside his home in a supposed “burglary gone wrong”. Since then, high-profile conservative commentators have been “swatted” via phony 911 calls, and have been dragged out of their homes by their local police force responding to these calls. Tesla dealerships are being set on fire, drivers of Teslas attacked or have seen their cars attacked or damaged. Anti-Trump/Elon activists are ramping up their calls to violence, and the FBI and DOJ appear to be doing nothing at all. Pam Bondi appears to have plenty of time for television interviews, and prosecution of anti-Israel activism, but none for a clear pattern of political violence that is increasing in temperature. The lack of immediate action is emboldening the Left, who are using the template of Luigi Mangione (the man who murdered the United Health CEO in a psychopathically-calm hit on the streets of NYC) as justification for a domestic jihad against their political enemies.

Someone within the next few weeks will die in a hail of gunfire resulting from a phony swatting incident. A Tesla driver will probably be murdered in their car. Families of Trump allies will probably be targeted as well, and Elon will experience an attempt on his life before something is done. The Left, who have no argument to counter the ascendant Right, are descending into a coordinated neo-primitive campaign of terroristic violence. Major media figures appear to be egging it on, giving their silent consent and approval to these violent reprisals. The sheer seething hatred of Trump and anyone who voices their support of him is boiling over. Once the violence is normalized, expect far more of it. The Left, the Democratic Party, appear to be the only political force attracting brain-rotted, Cluster B individuals en masse. The once-gathered army of Luigis need only be pointed in the right direction to unleash the violence that forms the core of who they are. The law-abiding have no real way to respond, aside from accepting the fact that they are a target, and hardening their minds to the fact that they may need to defend themselves.

Who was actually signing the pardons and documents while Biden was in office? Who was pushing the button?

Graphic footage of men, women, and children being butchered by the CIA-funded human animals in Syria are now floating around the webosphere. This outcome has been predicted the moment our government involved itself in the Syrian “civil war”, which has been an astroturfed effort to topple Bashar Al-Assad, a goal finally realized last year when he fled his kingdom for safe haven in Russia with his family. Syria, a true cradle of civilization, has been checked off the list that also contained Saddam, Ghaddafi, and others. Syria is now ruled by extremist terrorists cruising around in Toyota pickups

The Middle East was better off with Saddam, Ghaddafi, and Assad. In an alternate universe, I can easily picture Trump sitting at a table in the White House with all three, shaking hands and smiling, and working to keep their respective nations stable, albeit imperfect. We call them dictators, but they were royalty. And despite their imperfections, they kept their nations intact, and kept the terrorist punks in line. Kingdoms are grown over centuries, but once wiped out, almost never reappear. Royalty requires deep roots, and decades or centuries of growth, but the United States, in its ignorant zeal to see would-be enemies cut down like ignorant, greed-blinded loggers felling Sequoias, extinguished these exquisite and effective monarchies. Societal wildfires now burn unhindered in these nations, and now only the strongest and most brutal of dictators would have a chance at reclaiming these nations. Which means it probably will never happen.

Calin Georgescu, Romanian politician, populist, nationalist, and inoperable hemorrhoid in the arse of the neoliberal, globalist elite who puppeteer that Eastern European nation, has been kicked off the Presidential ballot by a corrupt judge. This comes shortly after he was arrested on the streets of Bucharest for trumped up charges surrounding his campaign. Romania cancelled the Presidential election in December, citing vague “Russian interference” as the reason, but we all know the real reason: a populist, nationalist candidate was set to win their highest office. Romania is a NATO member, also a member of the European Union, and both organizations appear desperate to stamp out populist uprisings lest they work to reign in the neoliberal designs for their respective nations. How much longer can this go on without igniting a full-blown revolution in these nations? Democracy means nothing to these elites, something they only pay lip service to, and only when the electoral outcome goes in their favor. Open borders, open economy, a pre-packaged IKEA puppet government is apparently the only one the people are allowed to vote for.
