POLITICAL: What happens when the “elite” don’t like how Joe-Sixpack votes?

A MODEST PROPOSAL
A SATIRE, IN THE MANNER OF JONATHAN SWIFT, 1729.
Dr. Robert W. Malone
Sep 08, 2026

*** begin quote ***

On the sixth of September, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany received 43.8 percent of the vote. The governing Christian Democrats, who supply the Chancellor of the Federal Republic, received 17.2. The offending party took thirty-nine seats, and required forty-two, so that the Republic survives by three chairs and a coalition arithmetic problem.

I do not raise these numbers to alarm anyone. I raise them because they establish the difficulty precisely.

The voters of Saxony-Anhalt were informed in advance. The domestic intelligence service had classified the state branch as a confirmed right-wing extremist effort. The classification was published. The broadcasters carried it. The Chancellor spoke. Museum directors, grandmothers, and the whole civic apparatus of the Federal Republic marched, petitioned, and explained. The voters were told what the party was, and then they went out on a Sunday and voted for it by a margin of more than two to one over the government.

Here we arrive at the true nature of the emergency:

The instrument of democracy has been discovered in the hands of persons not qualified to operate it.

*** end quote ***

And there we have it.  The “will of the people” is nullified.  After all the propaganda deluge, Joe Six-Pack and Mary Ordinary-Woman show up at the polls and vote EXACTLY opposite to what “their betters” instructed them.

Can’t have that!

Watch as “the elite” (i.e., politicians, bureaucrats, “celebrities”, “influencers”, “presenters”, “commentators”, “talking heads”, and all the other paid mouthpieces of the regime) barf all over the results and try to dismiss “the lunacy”.

Argh!

“There is no better educational experience for a child than finding out what happens when you stick a butter knife into an electrical outlet.” — David Burge

“Would you tell me please, Mr. Howard, why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man’s rights as easily as a king can.” Mel Gibson as the character Benjamin Martin in the movie The Patriot http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187393/quotes

“Elections have consequences.”  Sometimes!  When “the elite” get what they want. Argh!

VOCABULARY: Dummheit — collective stupidity

Tuesday, March 24, 2026

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/war-the-father-of-all-mind-viruses?publication_id=1119676&post_id=191045812&isFreemail=true&r=3snn7d&triedRedirect=true

WAR: The Father of All Mind Viruses
Fear of an enemy — real, perceived, exaggerated, or fabricated — is the emotional incubator and superspreader of all mind viruses.
John Leake
Mar 15, 2026

*** begin quote ***

Dietrich Bonhoeffer concluded that they had been afflicted with collective stupidity (German: Dummheit). He was not being flippant or sarcastic, and he made it clear that stupidity is not the opposite of native intellect. On the contrary, the events in Germany between 1933 and 1943 had shown him that perfectly intelligent people were, under the pressure of fear and propaganda, rendered stupid—that is, incapable of critical reasoning.

*** end quote ***

“The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.” — Will Smith

‘Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn to see fear’s path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.’ — Muad’Dib in DUNE

“To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. Horror defies our boundaries and illuminates our souls.” — Shirley Jackson

FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real —  I Kings 19:1-15

Maybe this is where our English word “dumbshit” originates?

AI Overview — “Dumbshit” is a vulgar slang term referring to a very stupid, foolish, or incompetent person. It is used as a derogatory noun or, less commonly, as an adjective to describe extreme foolishness. Originating in American slang around the 1940s, it serves as a harsh term of address.

That’s about the right timeframe for Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s observation to appear in the USA.  

Seems like a good label to apply to a lot people in today’s population.

Maybe to plagiarize Jeff Foxworthy —  

— if you have any of these “derangement syndromes”, you maybe a dumbshit!

— if you believe anything a politicians or bureaucrats says, you maybe a dumbshit!

— if you echo anything to see or hear on “social media” without citation or evidence, you maybe a dumbshit!

Nota Bene:  Everything I blog about starts with a link of what prompted it.

“My first rule: I don’t believe anything the government tells me.” — George Carlin

DISCOURAGING: The Trump administration is really like a Monty Python skit

Wednesday, January 7, 2026

https://internationalman.com/articles/dropping-the-facade-propaganda-power-and-the-absurdity-of-empire/

Dropping the Façade: Propaganda, Power, and the Absurdity of Empire

by Chris MacIntosh

*** begin quote ***

It’s like we’re living in a live Monty Python skit. If we are to consider that the Trump administration can end wars started by previous administrations (pretty easy to cut the funding), then the current podium donut of the Deep State in the US has failed spectacularly.

Existing wars: Ukraine and Israel’s war. Can’t really call it a war, but… well, that conflict.

Trump has continued to fund the oligarchs in Ukraine. He’s continued to fund the Zionists’ genocide in Gaza. He’s bombed Iran on behalf of his handlers. He’s bombed Yemen, funded and assisted in the overthrow of Syria and installed the previous head of ISIS (you can’t make this shit up). And he’s now threatening war with both Venezuela and Colombia on the laughable excuse of “drug trafficking.”

It is the most insane inversion of the truth. I understand how history tends to unfold, and reading through the collapse of previous empires I’m quite sure that none were so terribly absurd as this. Curiously, the rest of the world is no longer playing by the empire’s rules.

*** end quote ***

In this article, he uses “words” and phrases that are really quite good.  I particularly like the phrase “podium donuts” to describe pundit and spokespeople who say a lot of words but really say nothing.  There is a “word” “shulbit” which I haven’t heard since I worked on Wall Street.  They used it to describe politely <synonym for excrement from a male cow> accounting. 

The substance of the whole rant is that DJT4547 could stop these conflicts with the stroke of his pen.  What can anyone do to him?  That hasn’t been done already.  Impeachment?  Sure go ahead and try.  He can’t be reelected, so there’s no threat there.  “They” have already tried to kill him twice.

DJT wants to have legacy?  Just cutoff the money supply to ALL foreign and domestic war mongers.

Remember Gandhi?  He stopped Muslim Hindu violence cold with a hunger strike.  

That’s a peace prize that is within his grasp if he just has the stones to do it.

I’d like to think I could, but it would take a heroic level of courage.

Dona Nobis Pacem

NEWJERSEY: WARNDEP, the secret police app to inform on your neighbors

Thursday, May 12, 2022

New Jersey Dept of Environmental Police, Set up Snitch Line to Report Contraband Plastic and Styrofoam Users
May 4, 2022 | Sundance | 278 Comments

*** begin quote ***

Perhaps in the grand scheme of all things facing us, this action by New Jersey may seem a little silly; however, it’s still nuts.

Comrades, starting today it is illegal in New Jersey to have plastic or paper bags in stores for shoppers.  Additionally, restaurants,
cafeterias and food trucks are forbidden to serve take-out food in Styrofoam-like products. Also, all retailers must stop selling
polystyrene foam products like plates and cups.  Drinking straws require a permit for restricted distribution as monitored by the Department of
Health.

To ensure legal compliance within the Garden State, officials in New Jersey have established a snitch hotline for citizens to call the Dept
of Environmental Police (DEP) and report dissident violators, while the state ministry of citizen compliance have created a “WARN DEP” app to
facilitate easier snitching on your neighbors if you spot them using contraband containers.

This is easy! We have the phone number, so everyone, from every State, overwhelm the lines with calls. Report whatever State agency in
NJ you hate. Begin with any one of the programs that give money away, and include every department within the hierarchy, the Secretary of

It doesn’t have to be true! Swamp ‘em. Push back the Alinsky rules right back in their faces. Total derision. We can play this game. It’s a

I’m old enough to remember when plastic bags were touted as a way to “save a tree.”

*** end quote ***

*** begin quote ***

Legislature OKs bill closing plastic bag ban loophole

Excerpt:

A 2019 law, that went into effect Jan. 1, prohibited large stores and chain retailers from providing “any single-use plastic carryout bag” to consumers at the point of sale.

Rather than offer reusable fabric bags or paper, however, many stores in the First State took advantage of an exemption in the 2019 bill that allowed for thicker plastic bags, reasoning that those plastic bags would be reusable, rather than single use. The reality after their use began, however, was that most consumers weren’t reusing the thicker bags as recommended.

*** end quote ***

The only people I’d report are politicians and bureaucrats.

I can get behind any effort to muck up the system.

Know any good “black hat hackers” for a good DDOS?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “Memphis Belle” was not the first heavy bomber to survive 25 combat missions; she was the third.

Saturday, May 9, 2015

http://airforce.togetherweserved.com/usaf/dispatches/0415.html#article5

Military Facts and Legends: First WW II Aircraft Crew to Reach 25 Missions 

*** begin quote ***

So why did the U.S. Army Air Force promote the “Memphis Belle” as the first heavy bomber to fly 25 combat missions?

According to Warbird News, our government was anxious to report uplifting and inspiring stories of the war that would capture the American public’s imagination. For the USAAF it was heavy bombers crews that successfully reached 25 combat mission in defiance of actuarial norms. Because the “Memphis Belle” hit that momentous milestone without a crewman’s death made her the likely candidate to be first to return home for a War Bond tour.

Americans, for better or worse are conditioned to respond to a happy ending, especially when it goes against all probability.

*** end quote ***

So, the Gooferment can’t even tell the truth in little things.

Prison Camp Training: Rockford School District Edition

Education indoctrination : Defending Searches, Security Director Says ‘Every School Has Drugs In It’
Posted November 4, 2014 5:03 pm by PatriotRising

*** begin quote *** 

The ACLU of Michigan, however, sees things differently. “It turns students into suspects in a place where they should be nurturing them and focusing on their learning,” Mark Allen, the agency’s spokesman, told Mlive.com. “There are ways to do a search that are more narrow and don’t implicate people’s privacy rights.”

*** end quote ***

Let’s remember the true purpose of the Prussian Model Gooferment Skrules:

  • cannon fodder for the Army,
  • willing morons for the factories, and
  • useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite

Sorry, but throw in the “dumbing down” Common Core and the virtual insessent Brain Washing about Mother Earth and Father State, what else is this but training for prison?

Argh!

TINFOILHAT: Sinking of the Lusitania

Wednesday, September 10, 2014

http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/09/patrick-j-buchanan/wilson-lied-us-into-wwi/

Behind the Sinking of the Lusitania
By Patrick J. Buchanan
September 3, 2014

*** begin quote ***

On May 1, 1915, Lusitania set sail from New York. As Windchy writes, the ship “secretly carried munitions and Canadian troops in civilian clothes, which legally made it fair game for (German) U-boats.

“After the war, Churchill … admitted that the Lusitania carried a ‘small consignment of rifle ammunition and shrapnel shells weighing 173 tons.’ New York Customs Collector Dudley Malone told President Wilson that ‘practically all her cargo was contraband of various kinds.’”

*** end quote ***

I’m sure that the Gooferment “history books” don’t report this particular “war crime”.

Argh!

POLITICAL: “Nothing could be worse than Saddam Hussein”

*** begin quote ***

Every so-called conservative who was tricked by government propaganda in 2003, repeat after me: “I was grotesquely wrong to have thought nothing could be worse than Saddam Hussein. I admit that Ron Paul predicted what we are seeing now, while I was standing with Hillary Clinton in support of the stupidest war in U.S. history.

“Next time I will be more skeptical of government propaganda, which as a conservative I am supposed to be in the first place.”

*** end quote ***

Agreed!

Everything coming from politicians and bureaucrats is at best “propaganda” and at worst an absolute lie.

Argh!

TINFOILHAT: We’re the “sane” ones? We don’t buy the lies at face value

Monday, October 14, 2013

http://www.wnd.com/2013/10/are-conspiracy-theorists-really-the-sane-ones/

WND EXCLUSIVE
ARE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS REALLY THE SANE ONES?
University study shows they are more well-grounded than others
Published: 20 hours ago
author-image GINA LOUDON

*** begin quote ***

Invented term

DeHaven-Smith said that the term “conspiracy theorist” was invented and made popular intentionally by the CIA in an effort to discredit those who asked questions surrounding the assassination of JFK.

Since the CIA is banned from domestic activities, if true, it is illegal, contends Kevin Barrett of Press TV.

He said “people who use the terms ‘conspiracy theory’ and ‘conspiracy theorist’ as an insult are doing so as the result of a well-documented, undisputed, historically real conspiracy by the CIA to cover up the JFK assassination.”

“That campaign, by the way, was completely illegal,” he continued, “and the CIA officers involved were criminals; the CIA is barred from all domestic activities, yet routinely breaks the law to conduct domestic operations ranging from propaganda to assassinations.”

Research seems to be trending in support of some of these claims. An abstract of a recent study published by researchers at the University of Kent in the U.K. looked at trends in social media.

The study collected comments and organized them into “conspiracist” and “conventionalist” categories. They assert that “conspiracy theorists” might be more well-grounded, even more sane, than those who accept conventional wisdom on contested events.

*** end quote ***

My first “tin foil hat” was my Uncle Louie.

He was firmly convinced that Pearl Harbor was instigated by FDR.

I remember my father and other uncles and aunts tell him he was “crazy”.

He didn’t have “evidence”, but even at that time all the decision makers were “out of touch” for the duration of the crisis. (Remind you of BHO and Hillary’s red phone commercial. And, Benghazi-gate?)

I heard grumblings in Grammar and High School history. Many of the Christian Brothers were old vets. No one had “evidence”, but all had different “suspicions.

The thing common to most of the discussion was “why were the carriers at sea when the fleet was in port?” 

A fact.

Not evidence.

I read a lot about WW2. Then WW1. 

I saw all the movies. 

I was a war monger.

Then came Viet Nam.

And stuff came out by dribs and drabs.

Then, many moons later, in 1999, I read: “Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor” by by Robert Stinnett 

And, I was “tin foil hat”!

Stinnett’s evidence, much of it circumstantial, convinced me that everyone lied!

From that it was short trip to the Lusitania carried munitions, Gulf of Tolkin never happened, JFK was killed by the CIA and LBJ, … and on and on.

So, if the Gooferment, their willing propagandists in the “media”, most politicians and bureaucrats say something, I demand “evidence”!

They could say “the Sun will rise tomorrow” and I want proof.

Argh!

TINFOILHAT: TWA 800 still has unanswered questions

Sunday, July 21, 2013

http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2013/07/17/the-mystery-of-twa-800/

The Mystery of TWA 800
by Philip Giraldi, July 18, 2013

*** begin quote ***

Unlike TWA 800 and the U.S. press, there has been a continuing lively interest in the European media regarding Itavia 870, possibly a tribute to the Italian public’s painfully acquired belief that its government is, of course, nearly always lying and covering up about nearly everything. Most Americans, in spite of the travails of the past twelve years, would apparently prefer to think otherwise in spite of the contrary evidence so the story of TWA 800 hardly resonates and is easily pushed to the back burners prior to once again disappearing completely down the memory hole. Should one ask if the United States military just might have accidentally shot down a civilian airliner and then initiated a cover-up? It could seem preposterous to think that that should have occurred, but most certainly the question ought to be asked, particularly when credible witnesses have surfaced who claim that to be a distinct possibility.

*** end quote ***

Yup, the Gooferment is always covering up its activities.

You have to laugh when it pretends to be “transparent”!

And, there is always misdirection.

GX/TM distracts from Chicago bloodbath.

Abortion debates distract from debt and Obamacare.

It’s not like we don’t have real problems to solve.
