Kunstler: The Three-headed Monster

Public Policy

The faction that used to be the Democratic party can be described with some precision these days as a three-headed monster driving the nation toward danger, darkness, and incoherence. Anyone interested in defending what remains of the sane center of American politics take heed:

The first head is the one infected with the toxic shock of losing the 2016 election. The illness took hold during the campaign that year when the bureaucracy under President Obama sent its lymphocytes and microphages in the “intel community” — especially the leadership of the FBI — to attack the perceived disease that the election of Donald Trump represented. The “doctors” of this Deep State diagnosed the condition as “Russian collusion.” An overdue second opinion by doctors outside the Deep State adduced later that the malady was actually an auto-immune disease.

The agents actually threatening the health of the state came from the intel community itself: Mr. Brennan, Mr. Clapper, Mr. Comey, Mr. Strzok, Mr. McCabe, Mr. Ohr, Ms. Yates. Ms. Page, et. al. who colluded with pathogens in the DNC, the Hillary campaign, and the British intel service to chew up and spit out Mr. Trump as expeditiously as possible. With the disease now revealed by hard evidence, the chief surgeon called into the case, Robert Mueller, is left looking ridiculous — and perhaps subject to malpractice charges — for trying to remove an appendix-like organ called the Manifort from the body politic instead of attending to the cancerous mess all around him. Meanwhile, the Deep State can’t stop running its mouth — The New York Times, CNN, WashPo, et al — in an evermore hysterical reaction to the truth of the matter: the Deep State itself colluded with Russia (and perhaps hates itself for it, a sure recipe for mental illness).

The second head of this monster is a matrix of sinister interests seeking to incite conflict with Russia in order to support arms manufacturers, black box “security” companies, congressmen-on-the-take, and an army of obscenely-rewarded Washington lobbyists in concert with the military and a rabid neocon intellectual think-tank camp wishing to replay the cold war and perhaps even turn up the temperature with some nuclear fire. They are apparently in deep confab with the first head and its Russia collusion storyline. Note all the current talk about Russia already meddling in the 2018 midterm election, a full-fledged pathogenic hallucination.

This second head functions by way of a displacement-projection dynamic. We hold war games on the Russian border and accuse them of “aggression.” We engineer and pay for a coup against the elected government of Ukraine, and accuse Russia of aggression. We bust up one nation after another in Middle East and complain indignantly when Russia acts to keep Syria from becoming the latest failed state. We disrupt the Russian economy with sanctions, and the Russian banking system with a cut-off of SWIFT international currency clearing privileges, and accuse them of aggression. This mode of behavior used to be known as “poking the bear,” a foolish and hazardous endeavor. The sane center never would have stood for this arrant recklessness. The world community is not fooled, though. More and more, they recognize the USA as a national borderline personality, capable of any monstrous act.

The third head of this monster is the one aflame with identity politics. It arises from a crypto-gnostic wish to change human nature to escape the woes and sorrows of the human condition — for example, the terrible tensions of sexuality. Hence, the multiplication of new sexual categories as a work-around for the fundamental terrors of human reproduction as represented by the differences between men and women. Those differences must be abolished, and replaced with chimeras that enable a childish game of pretend, men pretending to be women and vice-versa in one way or another: LBGTQetc. Anything BUT the dreaded “cis-hetero” purgatory of men and women acting like men and women. The horror….

Its companion is the race hustle and its multicultural operating system. The objective has become transparent over the past year, with rising calls to punish white people for the supposed “privilege” of being Caucasian and pay “reparations” in one way or another to underprivileged  “people of color.” This comes partly from the infantile refusal to understand that life is difficult for everybody, and that the woes and sorrows of being in this world require fortitude and intelligence to get through — with the final reward being absolutely the same for everybody.

    Greggie, explain your hypocrisy please for using the Washington Post when if I used them you would be trolling the hell out of me.

    This is an Internet discussion forum Davy, no actions, only words.

    And will the real troll step up. Greggie, the numbnut obsessive troll can’t even be quiet when one of his best friends asks him to. Onlooker, maybe you better look at your stupid anti-American friend you share your bed with and ask yourself if you are enabling and supporting troll activity because that is what I see. This is not the first time you have made yourself look like a fool supporting the gangbanging trolls.

    “Turkish Lira Tumbles: SocGen Expects “Pain Threshold” Crash Pushing USDTRY To 8.00”
    https://tinyurl.com/y9nkc362

    “Kalen first lays the underlying drivers for Turkish asset deterioration as follows: overly-loose monetary policy, market participants perceiving a lack of central banking independence/credibility, a deteriorating fiscal stance, a large current account deficit that is financed by short-term flows, and an ongoing eastward political shift. Seeing little hope that any of these adverse catalysts will change in the near future, SocGen sees Turkey engaged in a protracted trudge “toward the brink of a financial crisis.” Furthermore, the French bank no longer expects an imminent substantial interest rate hike by the CBRT before its 13 September MPC meeting. Meanwhile, as Turkey-US diplomatic relations have deteriorated, focusing the public’s attention on Erdogan’s nationalistic agenda, Turkish policy makers are taking short-term measures to address financial stability by attacking short sellers and market liquidity without tackling macroeconomic and monetary policy imbalances.”

    “Here are the details via SocGen:
    55% probability (base case): Protracted trudge toward the brink of financial crisis.
    40% probability: Diplomatic compromises are reached
    5% probability: Turkey descends into economic and financial crisis”

    The NYT is part of the iron curtain ministry of propaganda per our board specialist on US MSM. We can’t pick and choose our sources when we are constantly critical of others sources. That is called double standard hypocrisy.

  16. JuanP on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 3:44 pm 

    Davy has been reduced to making ridiculous claims, insulting, lying, and bullying others because he has no way to argue with the truth. He is a pathetically sad fuck and shames his country with his every word. Davy is the biggest anti-American on this board.

  17. GregT on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 3:57 pm 

    At the very foundation of American values is freedom of speech.

    Davy does not believe in freedom of speech. As anti-American as it gets.

  18. Anonymouse1 on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 4:09 pm 

    Well, in fairness to the exceptionalturd, amerikans dont believe in ‘free speech’ either. Well, the owners of empire dont at any rate. Freedom of speech is for the people at the top. They are completely free to speak their minds. AND decide for everyone else what constitutes acceptable discourse as well. And they do. Everyone else? Gets lip service to the idea.

    The exceptionalturd is just emulating his masters. As he imagines himself to be his overlords equals, he tends to copy their behaviors to a certain extent. Thus, all the bullying, ranting, laughable attempts at censorship here and so on.

    Monkey see, monkey do is the expcetionalturds motto. And he admires the well-healed and sociopathic behaviors of the amerikan israeli monkeys, err elites. He wishes, and possibly imagines, he is one of them, but never will be of course. So *acting* like them, and defending them no matter what, is as close as he will ever come.

    A sad pathetic fuck indeed.

  19. Davy on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 4:17 pm 

    Sure guys, enjoy your circle jerk. Not one of you said anything on topic. What we get is the routine trolling behavior from the gangbangers. Your motto is when the argument is lost, group troll. Pathetic.

    The US government doesn’t believe in freedom of the press, either. Not that it matters much to people like us because we seek the truth and find it. But, the CIA controlled Western MSM is great to keep the sheeple confused and disinfomed. Or freedom of the people, for that matter. The USA has more people in jail than any other country in the planet, both in total numbers and as a percentage of the population. Land of the free and home of the brave? ROFLMFAO! Only an ignorant fool can believe BS like that.

  22. onlooker on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 5:04 pm 

    The US was never about All MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, or Freedom or Democracy or anything like that. I do not need no stinking MSM to tell me that. I know enough about human psychology and our sordid history to know as much.

    Hey look, its davyturds favorite sock-puppet, ‘mushmind’ chiming in. Whenever the turd needs a helping hand(job), which is pretty much always, he can always rely on the sock to chime in.

  25. JuanP on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 6:06 pm

    I can’t help but wonder if you know what you meant by that cause god knows I don’t. LOL!

  26. makati1 on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 6:16 pm 

    There is no defense of America. There are no REPUTABLE references that can point to one positive thing about the US today. Not one. Only US MSM propaganda. And the Sheeple are so brainwashed that they want more restriction and loss of any freedom they have left … in the name of “safety/security”. Such an ignorant bunch of snowflakes deserve the be, yes, 4TH world.

  27. Boat on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 6:31 pm 

    Mak

    Aways to go for the US to drop from 1st world. 4th? Your P’s are barely hanging onto third. But your happy with bare feet and shorts. Good for you.

  28. GregT on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 7:59 pm 

    Boat,

    I have worked with many a Filipino over the years, and I will say one thing, their English language skills have always been much better than yours.

    Boat “But your happy with bare feet and shorts. Good for you.”

    It is ‘you are’ or ‘you’re’, not “your”! What a coincidence that Davy made the same mistake earlier today, and MM yesterday. Or maybe it is not a coincidence? All three are delusional American exceptionalists! Are they three or is he one? No way to know! LOL!
    By the way, Boat, if you ever have the chance to live barefoot and in shorts, you may just find out that it is the best way to be. As someone who has lived like that for 30 years, but originally came from a cold weather area, I vouch for the fact that it is AWESOME! It is one of the reasons I will stay in Miami Beach for as long as I can ( much to Davy’s chagrin). You can’t beat this weather.

  31. JuanP on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 9:00 pm 

    Greg “I have worked with many a Filipino over the years, and I will say one thing, their English language skills have always been much better than yours.”

    Not only that, but the typical Filipino is friendly, respectful, courteous, honest, humble, hard working, and fun. They are really nice people as a rule. A country full of them must be a nice place to be when compared to the USA. I am quite certain that, between the people and the weather, Mak has no regrets about moving there. The USA has some very nice people, of course, but the average American leaves a lot to be desired.

  33. JuanP on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 9:27 pm 

    Mm, I expect that when the coming financial crisis hits the USA many of its very rich people will be looking for property abroad and that bans like this will become common. Uruguay has been discussing forbidding foreigners from acquiring real estate for decades, and if the government wasn’t so corrupt they would do it. The Uruguayan people are fed up with this problem, and my guess is we are not alone.

  34. JuanP on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 9:32 pm 

    In some places in Uruguay, Uruguayans have been a minority for decades, particularly during the Summer. There are tons of Argentinians, Brazilians, Paraguayans, Chileans, Europeans, Americans, Arabs, and others that own farmland or a home down there. It has been a preferred get away for one percenters for many decades.

  35. Anonymouse1 on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 9:46 pm 

    As much as It may be tempting to think Boatietard is one of Davyturds, he is not. He is, incredibly, much dumber than the expctionalturd. While the delusonalturd is fairly stupid by any measure, boatretard is in a league, or world even, of retarded, that is all his own.

    The your, you’re thing, is just garden variety dumbass. A trait they both share in common, though to different degrees.

    See, I gave the expceptionalturd credit where credit is due.

    ‘Mushmind’ otoh, IS davyturds sock. Not sure why he still bothers posting as him. In his mind, he must get something out of it still. /shrug.

  36. GregT on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 9:57 pm 

    There are many former Americans that I know here that are absolutely awesome people, and fit in well with the local community. There is one asshole however, who reminds me of Davy, who won’t last a week if/when TSHTF, and everybody knows who he is. He’s already caused so much grief for everybody else, that his days are definitely numbered.

    That being said, all of the American billionaire retreats up and down the coast of British Columbia, will in all likelihood fare just fine in a collapse scenario.

  37. MASTERMIND on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 10:19 pm 

    Greg

    You live in a death cult..

  38. Anonymouse1 on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 10:50 pm 

    Is that the best your sock puppet can come up with davyturd? You used to be so creative(not), than this.

    Lets face, you’re not even trying anymore, are you, dumbass?

  39. Anonymouse1 on Mon, 20th Aug 2018 11:08 pm 

    Are you certain of this Greg? Maybe the ones on the various islands might be safe(r) by virtue of the Pacific Ocean. Any of these ‘retreats’ on the mainland, could find themselves the target of mobs of unhappy EX-canadians. You know, the ones not in the habit of apologizing to ATMs. Those kind of unhappy former Canadians.

    Most of these owners of these ‘retreats’ be they in BC, or say, New Zealand, I suspect have it in the back of their minds, that highly organized and effective governments will still exist in these old amerikan colonies after amerika is no longer viable for them. I also suspect they are banking on, ahem, these robust and reliant governments, will make it a top priority to protect the life and properly of amerikas refugee oligarchs.

    Of course, I cannot say what would or will happen, or not. But I dont know how safe and secure amerikas billionaire refugee oligarchs will actually be in their colonial hideaways in the Queen Charlettes, or wherever. I think their mileage will vary, and considerably.

    PSA: Put down the Icrack, and get yourself to the nearest state mental health facility, davyturd. ASAP.

  40. GregT on Tue, 21st Aug 2018 12:01 am 

    Anonymouse1,
    ,
    Take a close look at the BC coastline. You could get lost in this area for your entire life, and never see another human being if you didn’t want to.

  41. GregT on Tue, 21st Aug 2018 12:13 am 

    Oh, and turn on satellite view, zoom in, and see how many retreats you can find. There are thousands of them.

  42. JuanP on Tue, 21st Aug 2018 12:28 am 

    Anon, The population density in most of Canada is extremely low. Distances are huge and the terrain rough. For most city dwellers, where the mobs would come from, these are forbidding areas. Most people wouldn’t make it 100 miles without a car in Summer or last two days outdoor in Winter. Mobs will be moving South to get away from the cold, not North, IMO. I think Greg’s location is very good. Islands do have advantages, though. For most people the water will make an impassable barrier.

  43. JuanP on Tue, 21st Aug 2018 12:36 am 

    Having said that, no place will be completely safe. Luck will play a role, too.

  44. MASTERMIND on Tue, 21st Aug 2018 1:01 am 

    Greg

    Do you run around the woods like a wild engine at night?

  45. Anonymouse1 on Tue, 21st Aug 2018 1:05 am 

    I know what the coast looks like. The idea that amerikas oligarchs will be safe and sound, amoung the ….sounds and inlets of BC, is an open question. And not as if most of these people come from the most self-reliant class to ever walk the earth. These are people that are used to paying other people to be self-reliant for them.

    Even if the zombie hordes from the lower mainland dont get to them, which they may well not, I doubt the Indians will have much use for them as neighbors either. If there is no strong government left to defend them, most will perish. If not from the people, then the elements.

    Greg will be fine, I have no worries. Amerikas chickenshit oligarchs however, can swing from the end of a rope before the elements get them. That would be the preferred outcome.

  46. MASTERMIND on Tue, 21st Aug 2018 1:13 am

    Greg isn’t fully self sufficient..He freaks out if you post any collapse studies and tries to argue straw mans..If he was self sufficient he wouldn’t do that..He just pretends he is ready and deludes himself..He isn’t prepared for a collapse, he is prepared for a regression..And the zombie hoards will have no problem finding him with the internet..And he will be the easy target they all go to when shit starts hitting the fan.
