Trump Should Tell Europe’s Leaders to Shut Up and Cease Fantasizing About War With Russia
The globalist weirdos in Berlin, Paris, and London are an extreme danger to humanity. Trump should treat them as such.

*** begin quote ***

What I am proposing requires setting aside all our presuppositions about Western Europe being the place of representative democracy, prudence, and reason. Anyone who has spent a significant amount of time in Europe in recent years knows that this is no longer the case.

If President Trump turns over responsibility for settling the war in Ukraine to Zelensky and the Three Amigos, they will likely create a July 1914 style crisis that will result in a general European war, and pressure will mount on the United States to settle it on the battlefield.

*** and ***

President Trump should not allow the Zelensky and the Three Amigos go down this same dark path. He should make it very clear to them that the reckless course they are pursuing threatens the security of not only their own people, but the American people as well, and that he will not tolerate this.

*** end quote ***

I would hope that @realDonaldTrump would put his foot down and tell these fools that he will NOT allow the USA to be drawn into a war with Russia.  I’m no fan of Putin but he does seem to be the only adult at the table.  The previous USA administrations have lied him into putting a stop to their provocations.  It’s time to “give peace a chance”.

Like Nike advertises, “Just Do It”.  

The best way to honor veterans is to stop making more casualties of war!

PEACE: Why did the great nations of Europe essentially commit suicide in 1914-18?

Sunday, October 19, 2025

The End of Britain, France, and Germany
On the suicidal tendencies of the great nations of Europe.
John Leake
Oct 16, 2025

*** begin quote ***

Why did the great nations of Europe essentially commit suicide in 1914-18?

The answer, it seems to me, is the marked tendency of any society’s political class to be captured by interests and ideologies that have little to do with the interests of the people they govern. Apart from bankers and arms manufacturers, the Great War of 1914-18 served no one who lived in the warring countries. On the contrary, it sent millions of their young men—including their most educated young men—to be machine gunned and gassed in the trenches.

*** end quote ***

Gibbon said, “History is indeed little more than a catalog of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.”

And, it seems that humanity is incapable of learning from it.  And, organizing to prevent an out-of-touch class of parasites in Gooferment from becoming isolated from “the great unwashed” of “We, The Sheeple”.

Here’s some suggestions:

  • All politicians and bureaucrats don’t get greater than poverty level.
  • Select “representatives” at random.
  • Completely decentralize elections to street level.  All the neighbors on a street can vote and select a represntative.  “Streets” can be built up into “neighborhoods”.  
  • For the Federal Gooferment, repeal the Seventeenth Amendment And go back to State legislatures picking Senators.  (Just like the Dead Old White Guys wanted them to be the State’s Ambassadors.
  • No Federal laws or actions on people.  That belongs to the States.  No federal income tax; fund the Federal Gooferment by tariffs, excise taxes, and contributions from the States.
  • Strict Age and Term Limits on EVERY Gooferment politician and bureaucrat.
  • END THE FED.  And go back to using only gold and silver as money.  End fractional reserve banking.  (Hard to spend for war and welfare when you can’t print money stealing wealth by inflation!)

That should get the USA back on the correct path.

POLITICAL: You can’t reason with crazy

Sunday, September 21, 2025

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/futility-of-trying-to-reason-with?publication_id=1119676&post_id=173510671&isFreemail=true&r=3snn7d&triedRedirect=true

Futility of Trying to Reason With Lunatics

  • Widespread jubilation at the cold-blooded murder of Charlie Kirk reveals not only ideological possession, but also widespread mental illness.

John Leake  —  Sep 13, 2025

*** begin quote ***

For several years I’ve been turning over in my mind an idea that initially struck me as far-fetched, but now strikes me as a distinct possibility. Could it be that people suffering from some degree of mental illness are now heavily influencing or even directing cultural, political, and economic affairs? To put it more bluntly, are we now being constantly buffeted and even, in some jurisdictions, governed by lunatics?

*** and ***

I would rather take my chances at bull riding or venomous snake handing than try to reason with deranged college students. 

*** end quote ***

I’m beginning to realize that expecting change from lunatics is like “waiting for Gidot”, the second coming, an honest politician, or the Second Coming.

As such, I’m going to stop trying.  Best to keep to myself and my blog.  Not that anyone cares.

Sadly, it’s frustrating to see things that are so OBVIOUS, and those things must be in Panes 3 and 4 of everyone’s Johari window. (the Hidden area known to self but not to others, and the Unknown area known neither to self nor others)

Sadly.

# – # – # – # – # 

The Johari Window model is a tool used to improve self-awareness and interpersonal communication. It consists of four quadrants: the Open area (known to self and others), the Blind area (known to others but not to self), the Hidden area (known to self but not to others), and the Unknown area (known neither to self nor others), helping individuals understand their relationships better.

ENCOURAGING: “Forbidden” llists are counter-productive to censorship

From Forbidden to Top Sellers

  • If books are any indication, the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex is losing in the marketplace of ideas.

John Leake  —  Sep 09, 2025

*** begin quote ***

The dummies who tried to impose a censorship regime in the United States should have understood that their scheme wouldn’t work.

Key actors in the “censorship-industrial complex,” as Michael Shellenberger calls it, should have understood that their enterprise was doomed to fail, just as the Catholic Church’s Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Index of Forbidden Books), maintained between 1560 to 1966, was doomed to fail.

Notable authors on the Index included Jean-Paul Sartre, Michel de Montaigne, Voltaire, Denis Diderot, Victor Hugo, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, André Gide, Nikos Kazantzakis, Emanuel Swedenborg, Baruch Spinoza, Desiderius Erasmus, Immanuel Kant, David Hume, René Descartes, Francis Bacon, Thomas Browne, John Milton, John Locke, Nicolaus Copernicus, Niccolò Machiavelli, Galileo Galilei, Blaise Pascal, and Hugo Grotius.

Rather than censoring and banning ideas, it’s always better to discuss and debate them. 

*** end quote ***

I remember in Catholic High Skrule each week, the Diocesan newspaper (I forget the name) would print the Forbidden Books and Forbidden Movies lists.  And the good Christian Brothers would make a point of reminding us that these would damage our souls.  Little did they realize it was, just like Adam and Eve, tempting us.  I know everyone tried to read or see these “evil demons”.  Most of us succeeded.  Word quickly spread which were worth the effort and which weren’t.  Laugh!

I don’t think it made a difference.  

If I was the Principal I would have put the summer required reading list as “Prohibited” and it would have gotten read.

Sigh!  Those were the “easy days”.

ConspiracyTheories: Time to end the CIA! Can DJT47 do it?

Deeply Intriguing Memo In JFK File Dump

  • Gary Underhill publicly stated that “a small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination” and was then found shot to death less than six months later.

John Leake

Mar 19, 2025

*** begin quote ***

I am indebted to fellow Substack author, Jon Fleetwood, for drawing my attention to a deeply intriguing memo that was part of the JFK files that were just dumped. Fleetwood’s piece on the memo is linked below.

The CIA memo, dated 19th July 1967, opens with a long quotation from an article published in Ramparts, June 1967. 

*** and ***

The totality of circumstances—including the fact that the CIA insisted on keeping this memo top secret until now—suggests that Underhill knew what he was talking about and that his stated fear was well-founded.

To be sure, it’s possible that Underhill did not know—or chose not to disclose to his friends—the extent of the activity in which the “CIA Clique” was involved. It may have been more than just gun-running, narcotics, and other contraband.

Going pack <<sic>> to the Roman Praetorian Guard, the trouble with elite security services is that the secrecy they are granted almost inevitably tempts at least some of their members to engage in nefarious enterprises. Considering this, it strikes me as remarkable that the CIA hasn’t assassinated more than just one president. 

*** end quote ***

Now the Conspiracy Theorists are again being proven right. CIA, Israel Mossad, and the Mafia are involved. And the “lone gunman” is “Barbara Streisand”.

Argh!

Now what happens to the CIA that JFK wanted to shut down. Does DJT47 have enough juice to do it?

#disbandtheCIA

I expect more revealing facts as the various writer sort through the document dump.

ConspiracyTheories: Could the NYPD have the UHC assassination all wrong?

Sunday, December 8, 2024

https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/is-the-nypd-looking-for-the-wrong?publication_id=1119676&post_id=152760792&isFreemail=true&r=3snn7d&triedRedirect=true

Is the NYPD Looking for the Wrong Guy?
Musings about red herrings and a possible doppelgänger in murder of Brian Thompson
John Leake
Dec 07, 2024

*** begin quote ***

When I saw this, it immediately reminded me of the tail of a White-tailed deer. When I was a boy, my dad told me that if you are watching or hunting White-tail bucks, it’s important NOT to focus too much on their white tails when they run away. Your eye gets padlocked on the tail, but then the fleeing deer will tuck it, and you will lose sight of him. Better to focus on the entire animal as he runs away.

I would like to preface the following by stating that I am merely musing. As a true crime writer, I often begin with a hunch and muse about it for a few days. Acquiring more data will either enable me to develop the hunch into a plausible theory or to dismiss it as mere fantasy.

*** and ***

Reviewing the timeline, I wonder how the NYPD went about connecting the young man who checked into the hostel on Nov. 24 with the murder of Brian Thompson on Dec. 4. Can detectives be sure the guy who checked into the hostel is the same guy who shot Thompson?

Did they track the movements of his cell phone—a cell phone he purportedly ditched in an alley a couple of blocks from the murder scene? NOTE: the fact that the killer ditched his cell phone makes me wonder if it is a red herring—that is, I wonder if he wanted the cell phone to be found.

Reviewing the above timeline, I wonder about the critical period between 5:30, when the suspect left the hostel, and 6:44, when the suspect shot Brian Thompson. Again, can the NYPD be sure that the guy who stayed in the hostel on the Upper West Side is the same guy who shot Thompson? If so, how? By Chief Kenny’s own admission, there is a gap in their video surveillance of the suspect between him leaving the hostel at 5:30 and purportedly arriving at the Hilton at 5:41.

*** end quote ***

I think this fellow is onto something.

And, remember that what the “authorities” say publicly may or may not be “true”, what they are really thinking, or all the “facts” they have.  

I give his musing about the phone as a key fact that can’t be overlooked.  Killers maybe crazy but they are rarely stupid.  He made sure that the authorities saw him making calls and dropped it maybe to be found?

All these red herrings and possibly a doppelgänger have all the makings of a good Conspiracy Theory!  Too soon to tell but definitely a possibility,
