In case you don't already know. Creating money out of thin air by banks is part and parcel of economic expansion. U.S. banks can't survive without their creating money out of thin air through fractional reserve. Such magic did cause problem from time to time. Viola, the Federal Reserve system is created to preclude serious problems.
Creating money out of thin air is criminal. They steal with the income tax and with inflation.

It depends though what they use it for.
Henry Ford was rather in favor of using generated profits to fund his manufacturing investment. In general he didn’t trust the finance sector. Loans gave financiers leverage and back in 1920 he already saw them as looters.
China does it better than the US. They control the financial sector to make sure that manufacturing gets the created money that it needs.

Hinton joins the Scaling Law debate, not siding with his student Ilya.
As Hinton said, Hassabis had long seen the immense power of AI to evolve autonomously in AlphaGo and AlphaZero. When training AlphaGo, DeepMind first had it learn the basic rules from human game records, and then had different versions of the program play against itself millions of games to continuously evolve, eventually defeating top human players. With AlphaZero, DeepMind went a step further, completely abandoning human data and making the AI the “greatest chess player in history” in a single day through self-play in the “Zero” state.

US government adds $1 trillion in debt every 71 days
SCMP: “The year 2024 will be remembered as the first time in history that a national government’s interest payments on its debt exceeded US$1 trillion, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis. . . . The United States is now adding US$1 trillion in national debt every 71 days – up from every 150 days in 2024, according to the US Congress Joint Economic Committee. This pace marks the fastest peacetime accumulation of national debt in history, with no sign of slowing soon. Last year, the Trump administration unveiled a plan to reach a US$1 trillion defence budget by the late 2020s – a target later revised upwards to a staggering US$1.5 trillion by 2027.”||economics||

US toy giant unveils first autistic Barbie doll
US toy maker Mattel has released the first autistic Barbie doll, expanding its flagship line as part of what the company says is a broader effort to showcase diversity and inclusion. The doll was developed with guidance from the autistic community over more than 18 months, Mattel said. It is the newest addition to the ‘Barbie Fashionistas’ line, which already includes dolls representing people with type 1 diabetes, Down syndrome, and blindness, and is designed so that more children “see themselves in Barbie.”||culture-society||

His advice:
We talk about being lenient with the enemy and taking the opponent seriously; these are tactical principles. But strategically, I think the guiding principle is still the old man's: two words: despise.Especially with figures like Trump, we must neither underestimate nor overestimate them. Strategically, overestimating our opponents will stifle our strategic thinking, making it difficult for us to break with convention and creatively devise game strategies.In reality, while Trump may have been a powerful figure for a time, his essence is not that of a true politician or strategist, but rather a political opportunist. His mindset is that of a daring business-man, and his strategies and methods are those of a reality TV show host.我们讲料敌从宽,讲重视对手,这是战术原则,而在战略上,我看,还是老人家的指导思想,两个字:藐视。特别对于特朗普之流,我们既不能低估,更不可高估。在战略上,过度高估对手,会束缚我们的战略思维,让我们很难打破常规,创造性地思考博弈对策。其实,特朗普虽然是一时之枭雄,但是,其本质,不是真正的政治家、战略家,而是一个政治投机客,其思维,是一个大胆的商人,而其策略和手法,就是一个真人秀栏目策划人。

This seems like a reasonable attitude.
The US is essentially bankrupt and will likely get tipped over the edge by new entanglements in Venezuela, Iran etc.
China isn’t doing anything in particular and (for example) the S. Koreans themselves that have decided to hedge their US bets.
As a dues-paying charter member of the anti-immigration crowd, I am here to say that you are absolutely right.
The anti-immigration crowd is being played.
Ron Unz makes several references to Andrew Anglin’s carefully reasoned article… that explains in terms simple enough to be intelligible even to the biggest fans of Deep State action heroes that every additional “empowerment” of a seemingly friendly US government will end up inevitably in the hands of a duly elected but unfriendly and openly oppressive government.
In other words, a government, like Biden’s, that regards ordinary white Christian Americans as terrorists and enemies.
This is a critical point that’s getting lost in the noise.
If they really wanted to get rid of illegals there are far more effective ways to do it (for example prosecuting employers). It’s a covert project to get government paramilitaries onto the streets to normalize intimidation and violence against political rivals.
Indeed, there are. Another simple way is to end all local, state, and federal funding, both overt and covert, to the several hundred NGOs that exist to aid illegals. Many of these NGOs get 80 percent of their funding from the government, and much of the rest of it comes from allowing Soros and his ilk to treat their donations as a tax write-off.If NGOs had to survive on cash from actual donors, almost all would cease to exist within months. Once you deny illegals a support network of deep-pocket NGOs and government giveaway programs and thus compel them to live hand-to-mouth, they will be massively incentivized to leave the United States. Word that the welcome mat had been pulled from America's door would be known worldwide within a week.Replies: @Poupon Marx, @Felpudinho

The authoritarian state cannibalizes the institutions that foolishly aid and abet the witch hunts. It replaces them with pseudo-institutions populated with pseudo-legislators, pseudo-courts, pseudo-journalists, pseudo-intellectuals and pseudo-citizens.
Isn’t that the US and UK today. The whole lot of them scared of the Neo-Bolsheviks.
Spain 1936 was the same. Society lived in fear of the violence of leftist militias sanctioned by the Bolshevik controlled Republican government. The result was soon going to be a Spanish variant of the Soviet Union or a traditionalist nationalist/Christian military revolt (resulting Civil War 1936 – 1939).
A state that loses its internal architecture becomes merely a mobster threatening anyone who will not accede to its predations and give it the money on which it has set its eyes.
It’s a mafia concept with a mafia controlled state operated for its own (mafia) financial gain.
For example the large scale looting that the same Jewish “financier” crowd inflicted on Russia in the 1990’s. They gained control in the post-Soviet chaos then grabbed everything of value.
The flip side is that under mob rules, other mobs aren’t constrained by any internal architectural state rules either. Mark Bowden wrote a book about it; “Killing Pablo: The Inside Story of the Manhunt of the Most Powerful Criminal in History”. No doubt Pablo Escobar wasn’t the most powerful criminal in history, but he did control the Colombian government using Plomo o Plata (Lead or Silver) for the benefit of his US cocaine trade..
The point is that Escobar wasn’t protected by any law. Competing drug mobs (and the US government operating undercover) used the same violent means to eventually pull down his organization and shoot him.

No doubt Zionist Jew activist Miller wants to normalize Israel’s Middle East land grabs and finish with Israel opponent Maduro.
However, the New Imperialism also puts allies at risk. Australia is a resource rich country that happens to be badly situated in the wrong hemisphere. Under a corresponding Eastern Monroe Doctrine, if China wants those resources it’s welcome to take them.
That idea seems spot on and it is the first time I've heard you assert that. I watched FFWNews yesterday and Michael Springman was not getting it, so you must be emotionally motivated to educate us on the real politik behind Trump's ICE goons. There is nothing like an unjustified killing to motivate us to fight back. I agree with your point of view in FFWN yesterday. There was no reason for the ICE goons to shoot that woman Good. For one thing, what authority do they have to boss us around? There is no authority outside of the self - all governments are criminal operations on the face of it. No person has one bit of authority over another, end of story, period.

Thanks for that very good summary. It’s not realistic to expect the US to revert to being a peaceful , respectful and productive society.
The expectation is rising inflation and rising social conflict – but it’s not so clear how it will play out.
In any event the US will be much reduced as a world power. That includes the power of Israel and world Jewry and they’re violently thrashing around to deal with it.
Why should (all?) women desire to marry young and have children? Are women no more than baby factories?
Western women have no desire to marry young and have children. All social incentives for this were stripped away LONG before the Muslims arrived.
Why should (all?) women desire to marry young and have children? Are women no more than baby factories?
The problem seems to be the divide between a woman having a child and not having a child. Statistically marrige = children. With middle aged unmarried childless women being the demographic with the most serious issues with depression. One child or two doesn’t seem to make much difference.
From the male point of view, they’re also ending up childless since 1) their income/eligibility has been reduced. Women have taken many of their profesional white collar higher paying career jobs 2) the move to online dating means that women are all chasing after the same two high-status guys. The remainder get nothing.
No doubt that mass Christianity has faded out in Europe but solid minority Christianity remains – at least in Spain. There’s also a difference from (for example) the UK with regard to the standard Jewish leftist guilt control mechanisms of “racism”, “misogyny” and “anti-Semitism”.Activists have tried to ramp up the Leyenda Negra (Black Legend) of Spanish colonialism in South and Central America and activate the “racist” guilt trip but it hasn’t worked. People of South American origin don’t see a problem. Those of 25-35 years are now approaching 30% of the Spanish workforce and integrate well. As the Spanish say, the 7.000km that separate Spain and Venezuela are less than the 13km that separate Spain and Morocco.
However, the atmosphere in the churches was not particularly religious. Most visitors seemed to be tourists like us, taking photos, and few pious worshippers were present.Secularization seems to have won. Europe now lives in a post-religion era, but I wonder what the replacement is since Christianity has been the source of morality and values for the West.

They are not troublemakers like the Arabs or Africans, but nevertheless they change the ethnic composition of the country. Spain looks more and more like Latin America now. How long it will remain distinctly Spain?
And it’s even worse in the “independentist” regions. Catalans fret about their “identity” but it’s only focused on language. The bulk of the population of Barcelona is formed by Venezuelans, Moroccans, Africans, Pakis, and a few old Catalans dying out.
Argentinians are ethnically indistinguishable from Spaniards
Not really. The typical Argentine is half-Spanish, half-Italian, and has a small percentage of Indian blood (which increases the farther you get from Buenos Aires and other central cities, especially towards the Northern provinces).
The real issue in Spain seems to be the “misogyny” guilt trip. It’s true that Spain was until recently a “macho” society (still is at the lower levels) with women now urgently seeking equality in all things.
Spain is already one of the most feminist countries in the world. No wonder it is also the one with the lowest fertility rate in Europe, even lower than Italy now. Feminism is so over the top, even kissing a lesbian slut is a crime, as that football manager found out.
Our “rulers” have discovered the perfect tool to destroy a society: single women and “women’s rights”. Everything else flows from that. From mass migration to abortion to war in the Ukraine, there is no policy from the establishment that they won’t follow.
And then the spirit of Europe shifted from Hellas to Rome. Roman thought and Roman statecraft combined with Greek spirit and Greek culture. An empire was created, the importance and creative power of which has never been matched, much less surpassed, even to this day. And when the Roman legions defended Italy in three terrible wars against the attack of Carthage from Africa, and finally battled to victory, in this case as well Rome fought not just for herself, but also for the Greco-Roman world that then encompassed Europe.
Arguably the last flowering of the Classical world was the pre WW1 Belle Epoque that saw the magnificent Neo-Classical town planning and buildings of London and Paris and the rest of Europe’s great cities.
As of December 1 (1941), the total number of captured Soviet Russian prisoners was 3,806,865. The number of destroyed or captured tanks was 21,391, of artillery pieces 32,541, and of airplanes 17,322.
During this same period of time, 2,191 British airplanes were shot down. The navy sank 4,170,611 gross registered tons of shipping, and the air force sank 2,346,180 tons. Altogether, 6,516,791 gross registered tons were destroyed.
The evidence is that the German high command saw Russia as defeated by December 1941. Also Germany couldn’t handle the millions of Soviet prisoners who apparently mostly died of exposure in snow covered open fields.
The former Polish government refused to respond to these proposals in any way. In this regard, the question presents itself: How is it possible that such an unimportant state could dare to simply disregard such proposals and, in addition, carry out further cruelties against the Germans, the people who have given this land its entire culture, and even order the general mobilization of its armed forces?
There’s something wrong here. Pre WW2 Poland was a state of 35 million people with substantial ethnic minorities. Ukrainians 14%, Jews 10%, Belorussians 3% and Germans (only) 2%. Jews and Germans were given considerable autonomy and both flourished economically. David Irving who is a reliable historian shows that Hitler regularly engaged in deception and provocations (same as the US) and had long before decided to finish with Poland and the Soviet Union and settle the East with ethnic Germans.
Although Germany on her part has strictly adhered to the rules of international law in her relations with the United States of America during every period of the present war, the government of the United States of America from initial violations of neutrality has finally proceeded to open acts of war against Germany. It has thereby virtually created a state of war.
Rather like the US/Europe vs. Russia today.

Argentinians are ethnically indistinguishable from Spaniards and South American Indians have the employment level of Spaniards (they come to work ). They pay taxes and in fact keep the extensive lower wage sectors of the Spanish economy functioning. That’s to say tourism, agro, construction, healthcare etc. They can typically double the wages they were earning in Colombia or Venezuela + get better schooling and healthcare.
There’s also the aspect that they want to integrate and have no group identity type political ambitions.
The real issue in Spain seems to be the “misogyny” guilt trip. It’s true that Spain was until recently a “macho” society (still is at the lower levels) with women now urgently seeking equality in all things. They’re already a majority of university graduates (future professionals taking mens higher paid jobs) and the country has introduced corresponding laws.
Ley de Igualdad 3/2007 (Law of Equality). Legal obligation to plan for and implement equal numbers of women to men in senior administrative and corporate positions. The Ministerio de Igualdad (Ministry of Equality) enforces it along with what’s come to be known as the “Ley Trans” 4/2023 to enforce LBGT rights – such as the right of any 16+ year old to visit their local Civil Registry and inform them that they have changed their sex (no proof required).
The problem is the consequential collapse in the Spanish birthrate (currently 1.12 per woman while replacement is 2.10). Educated career women are getting married later or not at all. They’re having children in their 30’s or remaining childless, and they complain of the difficulties of combining work with family life and the impossibility of meeting suitably high status men (are they aware that they have replaced them). Marrying a plumber doesn’t seem to be an option. However, there does seem to be a growing realization that it’s not working with unmarried, childless career women being the principle group of social depressives.
The Anti-Semitism guilt trip doesn’t work. Most Spaniards go along with the government in condemning the Gaza genocide and supporting Palestinian nationhood and they don’t care about US/Israeli hostility. Holocaust guilt seems to be non-existent and there’s that noticeable gap between Spain and N. European people/psychology. An affinity ranking would probably run something like Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, rest of S. America (excluding Brazil), Portugal, Brazil, Italy, rest of Europe, rest of the world, USA, North Africa. China remains in the “rest of the world” indifferent category.

Australia isn’t the first society to experience an internal collapse. It’s militarily weak and exposed in the wrong part of the world. Following this line, inviting a conflict with China surely isn’t a good idea.
If China decides to follow an Asian versión of the fashionable Monroe Doctrine then Australia morphs into a Chinese colony. The Chinese take the natural resources and start settlement. It’s not clear what would happen to ethnic European Australians but they shouldn’t expect any help from the US or the UK.
This process is already well underway with a well established Chinese Fifth Column among the political and business class and a network of Chinese spies within the immigrant community. It's independent of any obeisance to Neocon policy.

Western women have no desire to marry young and have children. All social incentives for this were stripped away LONG before the Muslims arrived.
The recipe for social decay was, surprisingly, outlined in the Bhagavad-Gita:
Corrupt the women and society will become corrupt.
(This was given as a reason by Krishna as to why societies decay and fall.)
Many women will bridle at the notion that their new found social freedoms are “corruption”, but it can certainly be seen that way.

The Death of Europe
Having lived in and visited various places in Europe since the 1970’s I can say that it’s all true.
Capitals cities like Paris and London have seen awful declines compared to what they once were. Admittedly these cities and countries are usually being compared to the unusual post-WW2 1950’s – 60’s period of industrial and social recovery. Genuine national identity, desire to rebuild and with no organized Jewry to deal with.
IMO the article also needed to look at Europe in the world economic context – especially since the 1980’s.
The big story here has to be the rise of Asia which actually started with Japan, then S.Korea (1960’s), Singapore, Taiwan and finally Deng Xiaoping’s China after his ascent to power in 1978. Asians could make money, gain skills, provide employment and get extra tax revenue by doing Western manufacturing – with the West happy to oblige. The West being interested in cheap labour, extra profits, avoiding disruptive local labour unions and leveraging the new internet based global supply chains.
Europe’s death formula is Deindustrailization (Financialization) = Less skilled lower paid service work = Less income = Less family formation = Collapsing birth rates. With financialization funneling wealth to an international asset owning elite.
Henry Ford could see the manufacturing vs. financialization bifurcation as early as 1920 and argued strongly for the US to maintain its manufacturing focus. Looking at Detroit today it’s obvious that he failed. At the time he described what he saw as the primary destructive force in his Dearborn Independent series of articles “The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem” 1920. https://archive.org/details/internationaljew12unse/mode/2up
Here’s a useful clue: If your politician of choice, going into an election, supports genocide or is silent about genocide; he’s not your friend. You ought to be smart enough, in possession of the very basic moral faculties—having reached a rudimentary development of conscience—to make that minuscule determination.
The framework has changed. The paragraph assumes basic moral faculties – but basic moral faculties are fading fast. The indifference in the US to the killing of 1 million+ civilians in Iraq and the indifference to the US funded and supported genocide in Gaza are the new normal. And the US elite don’t care about the White-European US population either . They’re there to be looted, demeaned and replaced.
Helen Buyninski probably gets it right in her article “Sexual Blackmail Makes the World Go ‘Round: Jeffrey Epstein may be dead, but the network that created him is still screwing us all” https://www.unz.com/article/sexual-blackmail-makes-the-world-go-round/. Anyone who’s chosen to join the elite has to attend these “special” events and get themselves filmed and it’s been going on for a long time prior to Epstein. The difference is that Epsteins backers ran it on an industrial scale.
An interesting corollary is that the “Holocaust” no longer works in this environment. It’s also been normalized which paradoxically makes Jews less secure whilst their power seems most absolute.

It’s an interesting interview with Michael Hudson. He could have emphasized more the US – China aspect of the document – National Security Strategy of the United States of America *.
In fact the core of the document questions how the US elite should handle growing Chinese influence. Apart from the section dealing directly with Asia, there are frequent veiled references to “hostile and subversive influences”, “outside power”, “certain foreign actors” etc. and it says:
President Trump single-handedly reversed more than three decades of mistaken American assumptions about China: namely, that by opening our markets to China, encouraging American business to invest in China, and outsourcing our manufacturing to China, we would facilitate China’s entry into the so-called “rules-based international order.”
China wisely isn’t interested in America’s so-called “Rules Based International Order” (international financial Jewish looting project).
Since the US is a self-declared Empire, and is generally taken to be in decline, then maybe it’s useful for context to look at historical events that marked the turning points of previous Empires (- related to Europe in date order).
9 A.D. Roman Empire – Teutoburg Forest . A major military disaster. The ambush and destruction by combined Germanic tribes of three Roman legions in what was planned to be the Roman province of Germania (extending from the East bank of the Rhine). Rome subsequenty experienced further military defeats and economic crises leading to its collapse in the West.
1212 A.D. Islamic Empire – Las Navas de Tolosa. The defeat of the Islamic Almohad army by the combined Christian forces of Castille, Aragon and Navarra. The battle marked the decisive breaking of Islamic power in Europe (Spain) leading to the expulsión of the Arabs/Moors and re-Christianization of the Peninsula and confirmation of Christian medieval Europe – with its nascent nation states.
1812 A.D. French Empire – Winter retreat of the Grande Armée from Moscow. The end of Napoleon Bonaparte’s attempt to build a French European Empire extending to the Urals. France experienced further military defeats culminating in the final defeat of Empire at Waterloo 1815.
1916 A.D. British Empire – The Somme. Britain experienced extraordinary losses in WW1 (particularly this battle) with the financial costs changing Britain from a creditor to a debtor nation (debt to the U.S.). Colonial troops and nations turned away from Britain in favor of Independence (independence supported by the U.S. and the Soviet Union).
1942 A.D. German Empire – Stalingrad. The end of Hiler’s proposed 1.000 Year Reich which in fact only laster 12 years (1939 – 1945). Defeated Germany became subject to Anglo – American (relatively benevolent) and later Jewish America control (less benevolent – involving the destruction German industry (low cost energy supply) and launching the costly 2014 CIA Regime Change Ukraine conflict.
2001 A.D. Anglo-American Empire – 9/11 Terror Attack. The inability of Anglo America to achieve clarity (responibility) regarding the assassination of President Kennedy (22nd November 1963) turned out to be a precursor to Jewish treason and lies surrounding their 9/11 terrorist attack on the U.S. It activated the enormously costly (to the US) Global War on Terror and pre-prepared Patriot Act. Subsequently Anglo-America entered a period of accelerated economic and social decline that continues in 2025.
2003 A.D. Jewish Empire – The arrest and imprisonment of Mikhail Khodorkovsky. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 set in train the massive looting of Russian assets by Jewish financiers (“investors”) under Russia’s inept and drunken President Yeltsin. Vladimir Putin (originally their asset) changed sides, reversing the destruction, arresting and imprisoning the leading Jewish oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky and expelling many others. The Jewish revenge project intiated in Ukraine Maidan 2013 is currently failing along with their NWO which has hasn’t gained entry to, or subjected China. As of 2025 a rising antipathy in the West to Jewish terror in Gaza and Jewish control of Western media and politics.

Agreed with this article. The Jewish Occupation Government gets all that it wants out of the United States. Political subjugation to Israel, economic transfers to the home country (Israel) , use of American troops in Israel designed military operations + CIA regime change operations run against non-cooperative states.
However, there is a growing resistance movement among the subjugated Euro-American population. The Jewish/Israeli colonial elite are losing their grip on conversations that are focused around America First activists. That’s rather than their own captive, stale MSM propagandists. These GenZ type conversations are difficult to control, and increasing violent suppression is not a real option. The Charlie Kirk assassination about tested the limits.
The British had the same problem in Imperial India. The numerically small ethnic British elite were no longer able to maintain control. They eventually granted Independence in 1947 and left the continent. And they were much better administrators than the Jews in the US. They made serious efforts to develop Indian infrastructure (canals, roads, railways) and establish fair, efficient and administrative organizations. These gave equal treatment to Hindus and Moslems.
An added factor is the US’ accelerating economic decline. The decline is stressing the political situation and highlighting extreme wealth inequality. George Yeo (ex foreign minister of Singapore) touches on it in a recent interview:
America is withdrawing from many areas on the global stage. Do you think the US is in decline?
US decline is a possibility about which Americans themselves worry.
If you are a company, country or wealthy family, this is one of the scenarios that you’ve got to allow for. If the US does decline and the US dollar cracks, what do I do? How am I positioned? That’s one scenario.
Another scenario is the US succeeds in healing and revitalising itself…

A useful addition is the China – US Trade: The Larger Trade Partner for Countries 1980 and 2018 map. A 2025 update would have more red on it.
The conclusion seems to be that the US is running on empty with its bases surrounded by a sea of red. And it’s probably not even really strategic. It just reflects the fact that China produces goods (and does projects) at a price/quality that people around the world want. Sure that China needs access to raw materials – but they enter into un-coerced non-political agreements around the world to get them. Typically infrastructure development projects in return for those raw materials.

Berezovsky, Gusinsky, Khodorkovsky... Where are they now?Replies: @Miro23, @Judenfrei

B-but… Pootin didn’t.
Berezovsky, Gusinsky, Khodorkovsky… Where are they now?
Khodorkovsky was the richest man in Russia and was being groomed to be President. Putin had him arrested and he got a rough 10 years in a prison and labor camp before being released.
There’s a theory that inveterate Putin enemy Berezovsky was “suicided” at his home in the UK..
Dr. Virginia Abernethy, professor emerita of psychiatry at Vanderbilt University (U.S.): 7/10.
…By disfavoring Russia, we push Russia and China closer together than they would otherwise be, which is dangerous. China is our most dangerous, possibly impulsive, and aggressive adversary.
This is the kind of neocon rhetoric that I think Trump has so far successfully put off, but won’t be for long. Dr. Virginia Abernethy is a 91 year old Cuban immigrant who holds a grudge against communism and wants the US to go to war against any “communist” country, never mind that China runs a totally capitalist economy. The constant cry from the neocons that China is our “most dangerous, aggressive adversary”, without ever providing any evidence, will eventually lead us to war if we have another weak DNC or neocon Republican president. Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz or Rubio will get us into WWIII with China for sure.
MTG said on Tucker Carlson podcast that the minute she joined congress she was immediately struck by the entire GOP’s obsession with going to war with China. She’s like why the hell would we want to go to war with China, it makes no sense! But even Tucker Carlson the one who is supposedly against all wars has nothing but venomous belligerent rhetoric when it comes to China, constantly Chinese Communist this, Chinese communist that, presumably because they don’t allow Christianity but I highly doubt that’s all. Anyone who says “Communist China” you know they are neocons looking for war, or evangelical warmongers like Kyle Bass constantly looking for another religious crusade.
The real truth that CCP is a threat is because they are actually nationalist and will not allow Zio bankers to take control of their banks. They know as soon as the Jews take over your banks you are as good as their slaves. This is the real reason they are the “greatest threat” to US, because they wouldn’t bow down and let us take over their finance sector.
What one is really scoring is how effectively Jews/Israel are reacting to their world situation. Since Trump is nothing more than a front-man/ facade used as a marketing tool, then for example, too high a score on immigration indicates that he’s cracking down too hard (preventing replacement). Too low a score indicates that he’s inviting trouble from the base (putting the game at risk).
From this point of view, Trump’s job is to use his bluster and salesmanship to trick US white males into keeping quiet while their ethnic and gender replacement proceeds. In other words as they are removed (race and gender deselected) from all positions of power.
The policy needs some subtlety in terms of constructing a charade of deportation while not in fact stopping the population replacement. For example, every administration in the UK for the last two decades has pulled exactly the same trick.
On foreign policy, unquestioning support for Israel is the sine qua non, and everyone who works in the media understands it. Consequently anti-genocide demonstrators are labeled “domestic terrorists” to be arrested regardless of whether they’re 80 year old pensioners.
Other foreign policy issues are 1) Jews/Israel hate the way that Putin stopped their 1990’s looting party and threw them out of Russia. Hence the Ukraine war. 2) They’re also upset that their efforts since 2001 to subvert China have come to nothing. So Trump and the Europeans get their disastrous instructions to face off against Russia and China.
If Nick Fuentes had been on the panel I guess that he would have scored Trump 3/10 (bad but could have been worse). But still recognizing that Trump is a Jewish/Zionist agent and nothing has fundamentally changed. The process is just speeding up or slowing down.

That’s an excellent explanation of how mortgage securitization worked. I was involved in the chain (providing properties) until the whole thing collapsed in 2007-8. Banks were writing mortgages as fast as they could to just about anyone. The mortgages were immediately bundled (securitized) with the risk passed onto third party buyers. I recall newly arrived South American immigrants lining benches in a waiting room to sign their mortgages and African street traders becoming property owners. None of them had any chance of making the payments. The bank valuers were complicit and the ultimate mugs were apparently the German pension funds that bought this rubbish (they trusted the corrupt rating agencies and big name securities vendors like Solomon Brothers).

I agree with all of this. Fuentes recently said on a mainstream that Hitler was “cool”. He did this on Piers Morgan show. It felt very orchestrated.
Fuentes later said that he prepared for Piers Morgan and the expected hostility. The media playbook is by now quite predictable. His basic answer was that it all happened a long time ago in a different country so he doesn’t care. 6 million or was it 7 million? Hitler was a monster? Well – since you ask he looked pretty cool. Fuentes said that he didn’t care about all the Boomer stuff and he was rather focused on what’s happening to white people in the West right now.
So no doubt that the interview was orchestrated by Morgan and designed to produce public revulsion against Fuentes. Fuentes’ reply was designed to highlight irrelevance to the present world and dump on the Boomers – with both of them were probably surprised by the reaction.
Judging by the number of views (4.5 million and counting) + comments, GenZ opinion is that Hitler was in fact cool and that Fuentes is right on target that the Boomers need to get out of the way.

I’m trying to recall a pre-Trump abuse of authority as flagrant as jailing and threatening to deport lawful residents simply for exercising their first amendment rights.
Anything in the last 70 years?
Well, muh muh, off the top of my head, Obama assassinated two American citizens by drone, sans all due process.
Clinton burned alive a church full of people, and then of course lied about it, and arrested the survivors. Not to mention his FBI sniper assassinating a mother standing in her doorway, holding her newborn baby, among other atrocities..
Bush presided over the murder of three thousand Americans, for the pretext of starting endless wars for Israel.
Johnson escalated a war based on lies, (Gulf of Tonkin), when he wasn’t running cover for the murder of 34 American sailors on the USS Liberty, and then of course lying about it and covering for the people who murdered those Americans, even threatening the survivors with court-martial if they so much as spoke of the war crime.
Clinton’s Madeleine Albright famously said the orchestrated death through sanctions of 500,000 children was “worth it”, so I suppose I’d call that an abuse of authority.
Biden presided over the foisting of the war in Ukraine, that has cost untold hundreds of billions, not to mention millions of lives destroyed. I’d say that was an egregious abuse of power, not even approached by anything Trump has done yet.
It could be that Trump will turn out to be the worst of them all, if he ends up using Palantir to target American citizens for ‘anti-semitism’, or other abominations against justice and reason, but he hasn’t done so, so far..
But I appreciate your tenacity is pointing out how unconstitutional, and flat-out wrong it was/is for Trump to attack and jail innocent people, simply for criticizing the genocide in Gaza. That too was/is fucked up, and just because it doesn’t rise to the unspeakable evils of past presidents, doesn’t mean he should get a pass on that.
He (Anglin) persuasively suggested that what we were actually seeing was an attempt to normalize the practice of having squads of masked government agents snatch terrified people off city streets without legal warrants and then hustling them into unmarked vehicles for delivery to “black sites”
That seems to be right. Trump is a front man for the Jewish mafia. IMO they’re coming to realize that their subversion is becoming too public (put at risk) so they’re getting more violent.
It appears to be the eternal problem of elite minority power. 2% of the US population (also a different race and religion) want to continue to dominate the other 98%*. When the public no longer believes in US fake democracy, then the elite revert to Soviet methods with the collaboration of their Pravda style media.
With regards to the Soviet Union it eventually collapsed for economic reasons, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Neo-Soviet USA collapsed in a similar way. It’s on track.
* And worse for them, if they lose power in theUS, they know that the consequences would be catastrophic. It would be wiser to exit the US prior to the prime time TV full-evidence exposés of their treason, assassinations and mass murder (JFK, USS Liberty, 9/11 and the rest of them).

Why Young Men Think Nick Fuentes Destroyed Piers Morgan
This is about the best explanation I’ve seen so far.||ideology||
The Missing Pillar: Law, Reciprocity, and Decency
Perhaps the deepest flaw of the NSS is what it omits: a commitment to international law, reciprocity, and basic decency as foundations of American security.
Agreed that one has to view everything that comes out of the US government through a Zionist lens. From that point of view the NSS normalizes what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank – which may in fact be the whole idea. Might = Right. The US beats up the Venezuelans and steals their oil. Israel beats up the Palestinians and steals their land and gas fields.
Sadly, I think this characterization may be accurate. Fuentes offers some very sharp analysis, but he is a flamethrower (way more than Limbaugh). What Fuentes and Limbaugh share is the politically incorrect wit and pure passion that can only come out on a daily 2+ hour show. Obviously the main difference substantive difference between the two is the Jews/Israel, but the Left is trying to make Fuentes into a cartoon villain.
I view him as a mini Mexican Rush Limbaugh that rants about Jews instead of feminazis. He serves as a right-wing mascot for the left. Kind of like a corny villain that the left gets to boo and jeer but doesn’t change entrenched powers on either side.
Schumer, a left-wing super pro-Israel Jew, knows there are enough Fuentes soundbites and tweets out there that will trigger all of the vital constituents of the Left (women, gays, blacks, left-wing Jews, other minorities etc) to the extent that they never take his criticism of Israel seriously. At least that seems to be Schumer’s calculation.
Also what Piers Morgan was doing in his interview with Fuentes. Morgan set it up to trigger all those vital constituents of the left.
Fuentes later guessed that Piers Morgan thought that he’d done a successful interview until he started to read the comments (99% in favour of Fuentes). Fuentes is saying in five different ways that GenZ doesn’t care about the Holocaust and the rest of the Boomer garbage.
Here’s one of the comments on the article:

Fuentes has yet to explain how he was there at J6 exhorting “insurrection” with a bullhorn, yet was not picked up in the dragnet or ever put in jail
"Strange deal," how about there was never a deal to begin with.
So it must be some strange kind of deal because it’s not working.
If Nick soon gets assassinated/murdered or dies in an unfortunate “accident,” I won’t be a bit surprised.
It’s quite possible, but higher risk so soon after they murdered Charlie Kirk.
My problem with Fuentes is his refusal to look at the hopeless FBI Charlie Kirk assassination story. It’s obviously false but he’s 100% decided to support it. He’s also now dismissing 9/11 talk as “conspiracy theorizing”.
On the face of it, it looks like he’s been threatened/bought. Reportedly Netanyahu offered Kirk a fortune.
What I find most bothersome about Pool’s and Fuentes’ critiques of Owens is they are so extremely dishonest. As one tiny example, Fuentes accepts the official story of Kirk’s assassination, which includes the claim that Kirk was killed by a 30-06 bullet which was stopped by his neck bone. He sneers at Owens questioning the official story. And he especially sneers at the idea that Israel might have had anything to do with it, arrogantly dismissing the substantial circumstantial evidence.
Fuentes is a very well informed and intelligent guy, so the only way that he can take this line is to have done a deal with the people who really did kill Kirk.
He took the Plata and avoided the Plomo.
But having said that, his recent interview with Piers Morgan
(4.3 million views in 4 days) has massively raised awareness of the current Jewish deception and attack on US and Western European society.
So it must be some strange kind of deal because it’s not working.

That isn’t quite the full story.
• 1964 Singapore Riots: Precursors to the 1969 events, these riots in Singapore (then part of Malaysia) involved Malay-Chinese conflict, contributing to Singapore’s separation.
• 1969 May 13 Incident (Kuala Lumpur):
• Trigger: Opposition parties (largely Chinese-supported) gained significant ground in the 1969 general election, threatening Malay political dominance.
• Escalation: Post-election victory parades by opposition supporters, featuring racial taunts, were met with a counter-procession by Malays, leading to clashes, arson, looting, and killings, as noted by Wikipedia and Association for Diplomatic Studies & Training.
• Aftermath: A state of emergency, suspension of Parliament, and the introduction of the New Economic Policy (NEP) to uplift the Malay majority (Bumiputera) economically.
The perception of Empire looks like a long term process. The “British Empire” idea only appeared in the late19th century (when it was already approaching its end). For centuries prior to that Great Britain overseas comprised of trading outposts and Anglo settler colonies the largest of which were the American 13 (already gone by 1775-83 as a result of the American War of Independence).
The Chinese are only part way through this process.
That isn’t quite the full story.You give the impression that the Chinese contact with Southeast Asia only just started.The Chinese have been in Malaya for at least 1000 years. They have intermarried and produced hybrid cultures. But they never invaded.----------------------------"Oh but those were just traders, the Chinese state never had the military might or naval capabilities before like the Spanish or English"...I hear you say.Then I urge you to research the Treasure Fleets of Admiral Zheng He.But I am in a helpful mood, so I give you the nutshell version:In 1405, almost a century before Columbus' and Vasco da Gama's voyages, the Ming dynasty sent a Chinese Muslim Admiral on a series of voyages that reached Africa.The fleet was about 200 ships, some enormous. They were crewed by some 30,000 sailors and marines. They had advance sailing tech that matched or exceed what was available in the West at the time. They also had firearms and quality steel weapons.The fleet sailed to, and through Southeast Asia, India, Arabia and onto East Africa. The established trade and diplomatic links. But strangely enough not a single petty chiefdom or principality was colonised/conquered.Now you compare this with Columbus' voyage. He had 3 ships and 90 men. Yet on this first voyage he had already enslaved and colonised.The question facing your right now, is why was there such a big difference between the Chinese and European experience on first contact with primitive peoples?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhw8k9zbzy4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-s1K56UgM0Replies: @xcd

These are unilateral US sanctions and have no international legitimacy. This tanker was seized in international waters and was an act of piracy, which should be met with a reciprocal measure from the injured party, otherwise all trade involving Iran, China and Venezuela or any nation in the crosshairs of the rogue US state will lose the ability to trade with each other.
Agreed that it’s important to see how this plays out.

I’ve read the document and it looks like a desperate reaction against this map. It shows world US vs. China trade 1980 – 2018. A 2025 map would be redder still.
The basic problem that Trump’s strategy document won’t resolve is the fact that China cheaply and efficiently provides the goods and infrastructure projects that the US no longer can. And China also happens to respect the sovereignty of its trading partners rather than only claiming to do so (as Trump does in this document). It’s the US that is planning to invade Venezuela and steal the oil – not China.
However, reading the document through a Zionist lens, as one is unfortunately obliged to with everything emanating from the US government – it’s a clear exposition of Might makes Right giving Israel carte-blanche to do what is wants in Gaza and the West Bank.

There is no basis to continue to support Trump if you are opposed to war. You can support him because he “triggers the libs” or “fights wokeness” or whatever other dopey culture war reason you want if that’s what you’re into, because he absolutely does feed into that nonsense. But if you support him because you think he’s making peace, draining the swamp, or sticking up for the little guy, you’re just plain delusional.
Of course Trump knows that Israel did 9/11 (and murdered 3.000 Americans that day) and that the US consequently killed 1 million+ Arab civilians in following Israel’s directions to make war.
He knows that a Jewish mafia is looting the US and eliminating opposition wherever it finds it. And Trump and the whole of the US Congress are frankly scared.
It all ties in with Israel’s ( sorry, the US’) recently published November 2025 National Security Strategy. The core idea is that US power has to be maintained without any reference to stupid concepts of justice or respect for other nations. It recognizes that the US doesn’t now have the power /resources to use Ukraine to break up Russia – so it shifts the responsibility onto the pathetic Zio-Euro puppets. It also recognizes that the US no longer has the power/resources to defeat China in Asia, so it opts to attack China more locally and to clear it out of South America (the privatized US Western Hemisphere).
Never mind that South American nations have been making happy mutually beneficial infrastructure deals with the Chinese that the US Zionist looters never had any intention or ability to match. The US plan for South America is clearly more Venezuela style Regime Change designed to control (steal) their resources the same as they’re stealing Iraqi and Syrian oil and soon to be Gaza gas.
Really the saddest picture. The European leadership in total disconnect with the interests of their millions of citizens.
chavez himself said mossad was targeting him, sending mossad agents into venezuela, but they were easy to spot. look at it this way, maduro is falsely accused of being a “narco terrorist” and a cartel leader and this gives trump the right to overthrow their government and murder their civilians. well now he’s letting a convicted naro terrorist and cartel leader walk free. so it’s obviously not the drugs and their adverse effects on american citizens, that he is concerned about.
Since when did this mafia care about American citizens. America is just a place to be exploited and looted – same as Honduras or anywhere else. The difference now is that the public are catching on and starting a conversation about America First vs. Israel First.

You’re entirely correct. I never suspected a thing though I was surprised he’d done a monologue—and a very smooth one—rather than his usual interviews.
Same with this Jeffrey Sachs video I put in Newslinks:
I had some suspicions about it because of his irregular framing against the background but the content was excellent and J Sachs does do longish monologues.
I suppose that the AI was directed to duplícate his image speaking the AI generated text – with the script drawn from his existing commentaries. With an instruction something like “Jeffrey Sachs speaking for 20 minutes on the subject of the consequences of financial sanctions on Russia”
Exactly. Once I discovered that the Mearsheimer monologue was fake, I quickly realized that was very likely the same for the Sachs monologue released around the same time. Rather than trashing them, I decided to mark both of them as "AI Fakes" in the Newslinks section.
Same with this Jeffrey Sachs video I put in Newslinks:

Well, like I said, they work in the tourism (hotels/restaurants), construction and agro industries. In Colombia they were earning about 600 euros a month, whereas in Spain (according to Social Security statistics) they’re averaging 1.585 euros a month. So they’re more than doubling their incomes. The same statistics show that Spaniards on average earn 2.275 euros a month, have higher level education and are better qualified. Spaniards aren’t going to take a 30% cut in income to do tough, unpleasant 9 hour a day kitchen work. Spaniards are overrepresented in administrative work and are typically the owners of the hotels/restaurants, construction and agro companies.
What exactly happened BEFORE these people moved in to constitute 17% of the population? Did your country really not function?
You can take the example of Benidorm on Alicante’s Costa Blanca. In 1950 it comprised of about 2.000 people without running water, more or less surviving from fishing, olive and lemon orchards. Now (2024) it receives 4 million tourists visits a year. By my calculation it has a yearly income of 5.600 million euros (4 million tourists x an average visit of 10 days x an average daily expenditure of 140 euros = 5.600 million euros). And that’s just Benidorm. There are plenty of other locations such as Marbella, Mallorca and Ibiza with higher daily spending.
I was in Spain in the late 1980s on my long trip around Europe. Spain looked like California, as far as the terrain, and I got along well with the people. What was wrong with Spain then?
By the late 1980s it was well on its way to integrating into Northern Europe. After WW2 Spain was blackballed until the advent of the Cold War and the US wanting military bases on Spanish soil – which opened the gates to foreign investment.
All that aside, Spain never was the well-run society as existed in the countries to the northwest full of Whiter people.
Spaniards are white. Latinos (South American indians) are darker skinned – although often not so much. It’s true that Spain remained a feudal society later than Northern Europe. For example, it missed out on the critical 19th century European Industrial Revolution.
It does have industries now. It’s the 2nd largest automobile manufacturer in Europe (after Germany) and with it’s supply network is generating 10% of Spanish GDP.

So, let me get to the point about Magic Dirt/Tragic Dirt theory*** Other than just pure evil, the motive for the Communist Resentidos types, what else would be the thinking of those who don't seem to have a problem with mass extremely-foreign and non-White immigration?
A possible answer to that came to me about the time of the eating of the cats and dogs. I think I've gotten into their heads, so let me write it out here. It goes like this:That's it. I believe that's the thinking involved. There's nothing evil there - it's just plain stupidity. How do we know all this? It's our core competency here.
Haiti is a shithole, for whatever reason. We went there on a mission, and it was just hopeless. I don't want people to have to live like that. We have so many great places here in America they could live. It's not fair for them to have to live in their shithole while we all live in nice places.
Let's invite them here. We have enough room to get all of the Haitians away from that shithole. We can help all of them! They will very much appreciate living in our, and what can also be their, nice places.
What I really don't get is those people who complain about some extra people, the Haitians, living in our nice places with us. Do they want them to keep living back in that shithole? How mean!
These people are coming to White countries because they are run the way White people (only) can run them. Founding is one thing, but when America, for example loses more of the competent White men, the nice free and democratic society goes down with them, as does all the 1st-World nice stuff like things running properly.
For a counter example, immigration into Spain works fine. About 17% of the population are immigrants (born outside Spain) with most of them originating in South America (leading country Colombia). In the 25 – 35 years age group they approach 30% of the Spanish population. An important point is that after one year they have the same rate of employment as the native Spanish (80%) and they are the foundation of the lower wage tourist (hotels/restaurants), construction and agro industries. Also social services/home care.
Basically they come to work and integrate very well. Their native language is Spanish and they are Christians. The Spanish government recognizes their essential contribution and lets them apply for nationality after 2 years (10 years for other immigrants), come to Spain visa free and also be dual passport holders.
Spain couldn’t function without them. They pay into the Social Security system which is something to consider since the ethnic Spanish birthrate is one of the lowest in the world at 1.12 (replacement is 2.10).
That's very interesting. I'd never been aware of any of that.

That's very interesting. As I've said, I've never watched him, but lots of people who did had claimed he'd regularly fingered Mossad for the 9/11 Attacks and also for the JFK Assassination. Is that correct? And did he very recently stop doing that?
I’ve watched plenty of Fuentes videos and interviews and he’s very good. However he may still have done a deal (to survive)...
On the other side, Fuentes never touches items like 9/11 or the USS Liberty. He ridicules Conspiracy Theories in his super chats. He never questions the official account of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. He refers to Gaza but doesn’t make a big issue of it and he heavily ridicules Candace Owens.
There seems to have been a change after the Charlie Kirk assassination. Lots of evidence came out showing that the Tyler Robinson story was false, but Fuentes refused to interact with it. He just repeated that the problem was leftist political extremism.
For a clever and informed guy he has a remarkable lack of interest in the details of the assassination or other major Israel related events.
So IMO America First vs. Israel First starts to look more like a personal route to power same as Trumps “build the wall” or “drain the swamp”.
Obviously, the mainstream conservatives still hate Fuentes and will do anything to undercut him. But they just reported an interesting analysis of the source of his clicks:

But Fuentes has adapted. With parallel infrastructure like Cozy (now sidelined), Telegram, and Rumble, he’s built an ecosystem that can survive under siege.
I’ve watched plenty of Fuentes videos and interviews and he’s very good. However he may still have done a deal (to survive).
Just putting some facts together. They’re not cancelling him now the way they used to. His shows go ahead untroubled. He’s had feature articles in the MSM. When Trump and Vance were called on to condemn him they refused, surprisingly saying that free speech was for everyone.

His current line is that Trump should crack down hard on the left using the National Guard. It seems to correspond with US Zionism’s plan to ally with the US Right and establish their credentials by throwing BLM, LGBT and feminism under the bus.
Maybe US Jewry have accepted that the conversation is inevitably going to move to America First vs. Israel First and they want to control America First since MAGA has turned irrelevant.

What Americans need is higher wages. Salaries have been stagnant or falling in real terms, failing to keep up with inflation and productivity gains since the Vietnam War.
I asked Google A.I about this:
“If a government can’t increase taxes or cut spending, then how can it deal with ever increasing deficits”.
The answer was Promoting Economic Growth. Higher productivity = Higher wages
But running fiscal deficits were supposed to be the Keynesian way to invest in/ promote economic growth. The US has been doing plenty of this but the “investment” hasn’t resulted in economic growth.
https://www.reuters.com/graphics/USA-ECONOMY/DEFICIT/zgpoabydwpd/chart.png
US deficits don’t promote economic growth – so maybe it only works in China where they’ve spent the last 40 years investing in world class manufacturing.
Reporters come to understand that there are certain lines they need to color within if they want to get articles published and continue advancing their careers, so they either learn to toe the imperial line or they disappear from the mass media industry.
The problem with living in a matrix is the divergence from reality.
A prime example was the Soviet Union. Soviet journalist had to play the same game until no one believed any of it any longer. Dissidents were met with the Soviet version of “cancel culture” until the Nomenklatura elite themselves realized that their totalitarianism was no longer viable without increased state violence.
The problem with mass violence against the public was that they knew it wouldn’t work. The security apparatus was a mess and was itself ready to revolt – so they took the route of compromise which predictably failed. The conclusion was that everyone really wanted out.
The Chinese dictatorial elite are much cleverer about this that the old Soviet elite or the leaders of the present day Jewish Empire. From Deng Xiaoping onwards they realized that their power ultimately rests on the long term economic advancement of the county and personal wellbeing of its citizens. In other words supporting the elite is a good deal.

Detroit is arguably the world’s premier avatar for urban decay, with several photography books documenting the fallen state of what once was called “The Paris of the Midwest.”
With different policies and different attitudes Detroit could arguably still be (2025) the auto manufacturing capital of the world. Detroit had the technology, the engineers, the supply network, the money plus the largest local market for automobiles in the world.
In this regard it’s interesting to read Park Chung Hee’s “The Country The Revolution And I” 1962 Hollym Corporation Publishers, Seoul, Korea. He says,
Great Germany! A subject of notice for the whole world!
The German people has a character that is aptly described in the famous maxim of Goethe, “Genius is crystallization of perseverance”
We often take the “miracle” on the Rhine merely as a miracle, but it should be remembered that this “miracle” is the result of much perseverance, for which the German people can feel proud before their Fatherland and history. The miracle is the fruit of their efforts, a supreme form of art resulting from their effort. Nothing is free in this world; there is no unearned income.
How did a poor country like South Korea manage to manufacture the Hyundai Pony at such an early date
South Korea in the early 1970s was indeed one of the world’s poorest countries—its per-capita GDP in 1970 was about $279 (roughly the same as Ghana or Haiti at the time), and it still received foreign aid from the United States. Yet just four years later, in December 1975, Hyundai presented the Hyundai Pony, the first mass-produced Korean car and one of the earliest modern cars fully designed and built in a developing country.
Well, it’s desire and perseverance.
Meanwhile the Boomers were doing Woodstock and exploring counter-culture (the denigration of the ethics and culture that had produced Henry Ford’s Detroit). They were anti-manufacturing and their descendants still are. Check out this video ref. the current US young elite.

It’s very crazy we ended up in this situation. But the thing is, the Russian market was quite good for Europe. Indeed, it was a very important part of the entire development model. That is not just all the cheap energy which was being supplied by Russia, but also what the Russians were doing with all that money, because they were, to a large extent, buying European-produced goods.
And if there weren’t a special energy project, work in the Arctic, often under the hope of developing this Greater Europe, based on [Mikhail] Gorbachev’s Common European Home idea?
This was the wonderful possibility that was thrown away.
… because it was the Americans who were pushing very hard for NATO expansion to re-divide the continent, remilitarize it.

Haven't you figured it out yet? It's not leftism. It's far-right black supremacism and Negro idolatry.
“Preach Equality, Practise Hierarchy.” That’s one of the core principles of modern leftism. In leftist theory, Blacks are equal to Whites and women are equal to men. In leftist practice, Blacks are privileged over Whites and women are privileged over men.
It’s like Jews pretend to be liberal or leftist but support Jewish identity and far-right Zionism.
The ideology is the natural one for them of Israel First. In Israel they operate far right Zionism to cement their majority power. In the West they confuse and weaken the non-Jewish majority with liberal left activism to protect their minority power.
In the US, Nick Fuentes’ political movement is catching this perfectly as he reframes the argument to correspond to the reality of Israel First vs. America First.
He throws all the fabricated Left vs. Right and Democratic vs. Republican distractionary arguments in the garbage and focuses on Jewish political activism. They don’t at all like having their US cover pulled away.

“There is a time for everything.” Ecclesiastes 3
So, trust has its time. Distrust has its time
The following from today’s WSJ article entitled “Robots and AI Are Already Remaking the Chinese Economy”:
The advances can’t come quickly enough for Communist Party leaders, who fear China could lose its status as the world’s factory floor. Its population is shrinking, young people are avoiding factory jobs, and pushback against Chinese exports has intensified in many countries.
At the same time, President Trump is pledging to bring home vast numbers of manufacturing jobs through tariffs on China.
AI offers a lifeline to head off those risks, by helping China make and ship more stuff faster, cheaper and with fewer workers. Although some doubts are creeping in globally about how quickly AI will transform the world, China isn’t waiting: It wants to deploy what is available today quicker than the U.S. can, locking in any advantages.
“Only by proactively embracing change can we remain invincible in this revolution,” Hu Wangming, chairman of one of China’s largest steel groups, told state media this year. Its Shanghai-listed unit Baosteel had found 125 uses for AI by the end of last year—and is planning for 1,000.
Robot rollout
China installed 295,000 industrial robots last year, nearly nine times as many as the U.S. and more than the rest of the world combined, according to the International Federation of Robotics. China’s stock of operational robots surpassed two million in 2024, the most of any country.
Of 131 factories and industrial sites recognized by the World Economic Forum globally for lifting productivity through cutting edge technologies such as AI, 45 are in mainland China, while three are in the U.S. …
For leader Xi Jinping, strong factories are essential to a robust economy, which ultimately enhances national power as China challenges the U.S. for global influence. A quarter of China’s value-added gross-domestic product comes from manufacturing, far higher than the global average. …
Embracing AI is “a necessary task and not an optional one,” China’s Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology Zhang Yunming said recently.
When China started opening up its economy in the late 1970s, it enjoyed a vast supply of cheap labor. Millions of migrant workers left behind villages for assembly lines on the coast.
Today, China’s average factory wages are far higher than in countries such as India. Many young Chinese are unwilling to work in factories.
Chinese leaders work to gain the people’s trust. They work hard, in some sense, out of fear of distrust. From the people’s view, is it a good that leaders brag about people’s trust and stop doing their job properly?
Everything has its time. Chinese “authoritarianism” has its time. US “democracy has its time.”

> Hitler’s innovative program of National Socialism had completely revived the German economy, making it one of the most successful in the world.
Totally false.
Well, here’s what leftist Alexander Cockburn wrote in 2004:
Hitler, genocidal monster that he was, was also the first practicing Keynesian leader. When he came to power in 1933 unemployment stood at 40 per cent. Economic recovery came without the stimulus of arms spending. Hitler wanted a larger population, so construction subsidies produced a housing boom. There were vast public works such as the autobahns. He paid little attention to the deficit or to the protests of the bankers about his policies. Interest rates were kept low and though wages were pegged, family income increased by reason of full employment. By 1936 unemployment had sunk to one per cent. German military spending remained low until 1939.
https://www.counterpunch.org/2004/01/10/bush-as-hitler-let-s-be-fair/
Renowned historian AJP Taylor said the same thing, explaining that Hitler had quickly returned Germany to the prosperity of 1928-1929 without heavy military spending.
Mike Whitney quoted Henry C.K. Liu:
“The Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, at a time when its economy was in total collapse, with ruinous war-reparation obligations and zero prospects for foreign investment or credit. Yet through an independent monetary policy of sovereign credit and a full-employment public-works program, the Third Reich was able to turn a bankrupt Germany, stripped of overseas colonies it could exploit, into the strongest economy in Europe within four years, even before armament spending began.” (“Nazism and the German Economic Miracle,” Henry C. K. Liu, Asia Times)
https://www.counterpunch.org/2013/07/19/hitler-vs-bernanke/
Various seemingly knowledgeable accounts I’ve read have noted that Hitler and FDR came to power almost simultaneously. America had every possible advantage, including huge natural resources and a dominant world position. But Roosevelt’s New Deal was a total economic failure, while Hitler’s system quickly succeeded.
All the accounts I’ve read indicate that within a couple of years the German economy was doing much better than that of any other European country and ordinary German workers were much better off.
Without heavy military spending?
Renowned historian AJP Taylor said the same thing, explaining that Hitler had quickly returned Germany to the prosperity of 1928-1929 without heavy military spending.
I'd say military spending being 50% to 80% of total central government spending is "heavy military spending".Replies: @Ron Unz
See table 5 "The Share of Military Spending in Central Government Expenditure by fiscal years" on page 37
Total central government spending on goods and services, of which: military spending:
1932-3 - 20%
1933-4 - 17%
1934-5 - 51%
1935-6 - 73%
1936-7 - 81%
1937-8 - 68%
1938-9 - 80%

Correct. Also, in regards to the BS that the German economic recovery under NS was due to armaments production; In 'A History of Central Banking', Stephen Goodson( former Director of the South African Reserve Bank), writes

America had every possible advantage, including huge natural resources and a dominant world position. But Roosevelt’s New Deal was a total economic failure, while Hitler’s system quickly succeeded.
If Hitler and the NS had found the cure for cancer, there would be a negative spin on it, nothing they ever done could possibly be positive or so goes the caricature passing as 'history' of the period.Replies: @Petermx
One of the myths propagated by establishment historians is that Germany’s economic renaissance was based on armaments production.
The following table reveals modest levels of defence expenditure which only picked up in 1938/1939 when Germany started to feel threatened by her neighbours.
Year
Defence Expenditure RM
National Income
1933/34- 1.9 billion - 4%
1934/35 - 1.9 billion - 4%
1935/36 - 4.0 billion- 7%
1936/37- 5.8 billion- 9%
1937/38- 8.2 billion- 11%
1938/39- 18.4 billion- 22%
Source: Deutsche Reichsbank
Even expenditure of 22% of national income on defence just before World War II started may be deemed as not being too excessive, when one bears in mind that Germany’s borders possess few natural boundaries and at that time she was surrounded by hostile neighbours – Czechoslovakia, France and Poland. Germany also had to replenish the armaments, which she had been forbidden to possess in terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The English historian, A J P Taylor, writes that “The state of German armament in 1939 gives the decisive proof that Hitler was not contemplating general war, and probably not intending war at all.”
