This is actually the third time Trump has accepted the nomination for President. You forgot 2020.

and Many people Forget that the 2020 sElection was a Deep Statist Coup as well. The last 4 Years are Illegitimate, UnConstitutional, Treason............ "Fraud Vitiates"

Just Too Much "Truth" ,like bullets whizzing past your head, better to duck & cover but at "some point" Get Back on Your Feet and Return Fire.

Also too much Truth, That "This Shiat Show" is Just Beginning!!! Not Concluding, No Guarantees, No Givens. It's a long way to this Nov, and an Eternity to Jan 2025.

The Ascendance of Sociopaths in U.S. Governance

By Doug Casey

International Man

July 18, 2024

...Now, I believe, it’s out of control...

...To me, this is completely predictable. It’s what sociopaths do.

Confluence, Concensus, Concurrence....... Finally.

My roots are here in the South and I have no problem being firmly rooted here, though the "Smart" people got out of Germany in the 30's and Russia in 1918.

Stubborn or Smart ??? Either is a Legit Option, Personal Decisions, imo.

Consensus..?

Expand full comment

First, only a few can afford to be 'the International Man'. Second, the International Man quite possibly may be circumscribed by an addiction to shallow attachments. And not rooted in anything particular. Can't say for certain, but it seems to me to be quite possibly so.

I watched the Republican Convention. People are being totally scripted by narratives ... and even most of the people attending the convention as delegates probably don't know the full extent of some of the fraud going on. The more I saw of the convention in light of recent events, the more I think the next president is being selected, and not so much elected.

I am rather sure of the above because I did a little test today. I uncharacteristically left a free standing comment in Comments. And since nobody has of yet replied, it either went over people's heads, or in some cases ... people fear to say out loud what what they see and hear, what they think. Or the third possibility is that I am seen as the nut. Speak to or even hint mildly at the truth these days, and people will think you are nuts. It was, after all, like that back in Covid Season.

One thing that really struck me (from Vance's speech) was his dismissal and quick criticism of Wall Street Banks in favor of "the working man." Anyone with half a brain knows that the banks aren't going to lose one tiny smidgen of power or preference, to say nothing of whatever degree of control Wall Street actually wields in Washington politics. Vance is a really smart guy, and I'm certain he knows this.

Expand full comment

I heard that from Vance ... and I really don't know much about him. And I like to believe the best ... BUT. But my reaction is the same as yours. And I know from long experience that nobody but nobody gets to where Trump and Vance are without powerful backers. And we know that The Money Talks ... and also manipulates, connives, orchestrates and arranges.

I've been real close to local political figures and they will glad talk you out of both sides of their mouth and grind you up for sausage the minute you aren't looking. And anybody good, anybody they can't control, they'll get rid of. I've seen it time and again. Sometimes it takes them a long time. Sometimes the good candidate never makes it past the primary. And speaking of political parties, which party is more duplicitous I cannot say. You might, for instance, point to Biden, Pelosi, etc., and the horrors of corruption. But then again, who gave us 911 and the Patriot Act? And set the predicate for endless, unlimited warfare?

So, the Dems are now the party of total corruption. And what did I see at the Republican Convention. They are trying to make themselves over into the party of the Common Man, just like the Dems once said they were before they went totally Woke Wonkers. And honestly, it a complete mess.

I am going to vote Republican, even though I know that candidates are now more selected than elected. My reasons why are to complex to go into.

Yes, they haven’t yet graduated from the old school pandering program. I am sickened by the pasted on smiles. We will see when they get in if the corporate empire is striking back.

I have to wonder. I went away from the Republican Convention thinking Romper Room Convention. And thinking that things have really, really gone into a downhill slide since 2001/911. And so, tell me. Is there something to that thought ... or is it just me? What do you think?

Well, the same here ... and that is why I listen to 'em (the really intelligent ones) when I can find them. And besides, nobody is smart on all things. That's just impossible.

My test case sample was a little around Robinhood's barn, but I figured a few might latch onto the gist of it. But then again, maybe not. And that was the object ... just to find out one way or the other. And so, no matter how the sampling goes, it is still information. And that's the real point of it.

That's a fascinating article, and all too real. Reminds me of the book about WW2 called "Ordinary Men", which details how a group of seemingly ordinary men in one small town got prodded into doing horrendous things for the Nazis. Some men were revolted and couldn't participate, some did so albeit not really liking it, and a few really got into it and behaved like monsters. A sickening read, but oh so educational about human nature.

A perpetual drum beat of pain and misery….Whether it’s through illegally enforcing dangerous and deadly Mengele-style jab mandates, contrived political stunts, staged events designed to promulgate societal upheaval, wide open borders rife with murderers, rapists and cold blooded drug cartels, sadistic child traffickers, the sick and twisted sanctioning of genital mutilators, or sending young people to suffer and die through an assortment of bogus war time narratives, you’ll be hard pressed to find an administration that has more heinous and blatant disregard for humanity then this current troop of perverted baboons occupying the Out House.

The most recent example: Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle - by all accounts an insidious Bozo of towering proportions - apparently having a minor lapse of coherent thought, essentially green lighting every would-be assassin on the planet to set up shop on a rooftop sporting a mere 5 degree pitch….the Secret Services’ version of granting diplomatic immunity. While they were utterly flummoxed trying to figure out what Mr. Rogers (🎵Won’t you be my neighbor?”) was doing with a ladder and a rangefinder in close proximity to the most polarizing political figure on the planet, three people were shot. Corey Comperatore died protecting his family, ironically doing EXACTLY what the Secret Service should have been doing….taking immediate action. Nice job, ladies.

Not staged, but it sure seems that they did allow it to happen (that many 'mistakes' are statistically impossible), which means treason on the part of Mayorkas, Cheattle, and the "team" leadership.

I interpreted staged to mean not that the event was fake, but that they "staged" the security to deliberately make Trump vulnerable.

Expand full comment

Agreed, and all of which would have been completely glossed over in the turmoil if the attempt had been successful.

IMO they set up the assassination attempt.

It would be an astounding coincidence if the security just happened to have multiple lapses at the same event where a shooter just happened to turn up.

No - this was no “lone gunman”.

Heard in another article that there were more attackers than just that one guy, saying that one guy was actually on the water tower. They said more shots rang out besides his...

Expand full comment

From around 2008 to 2013 I was politically active and locally a known person. I was the Constitution Party but I had a lot of involvement with the Republican Party in three counties and some others elsewhere. I got to know these people and how and what they thought ... and please recall that things were relatively tame back then compared to 2016 and thereafter. Carrying over the experience which I gained during this period of activity I realized that in watching the 2024 Republican National Convention that about eighty to ninety percent of the people attending the convention probably had no clue as to how they were being gaslighted given the very recent orchestrated event in Pennsylvania. Looking at the spectacle, it was as though I was watching little kids of Romper Room age strutting around in their parents oversized clothing. In short, I think reality died a long time ago.

So, when you say 'dreamworld', it registers with uncommon vividness.

I've been trying to figure out that plot for the past 24 years... Well, probably more than that, but in a focused way, I mean...

Expand full comment

The problem is that to get even close, one has to study all phases, facets of Human Action (to borrow from von Mises who wrote a book of that title). And then there are layers in the chain of command, and various factions ... and factions within factions. And most of the cast of actors are the visible front men and women. The one's really moving things are hidden. One might feel their presence, but never see the prime movers. And one in not suppose to know from where, from what hands real power flows. And of this, I am speaking primarily of the Collective West.

My best guess by observation is that power structures out side the Collective West/Five Eyes sphere and sphere of influence in certain countries like Russia, India and China are a bit more straight forward.

But what do I know? And a lot of it is just guessing. And guessing by shifts detected.

They were never given talking points for the possibility that their engineered sabotage would fail.

Edit: It might be that they did have a plan for the possibility of failure. They may have been willing to throw Cheatle and her ilk under the bus for the sake of provoking a reaction from the populace that they can then manage with more globalist technocratic tyranny.

My sense of this is that they fully expected their plan would work & President Trump would be murdered.

It’s not sure the ludicrous excuse was incompetent.

They are now SO brazen that maybe it’s just an expression of how immune they feel to all & any accountability. They trot out SO much BS & just shrug - they don’t care whether they’re believed, they just intend to get away with it.

They knew “mostly peaceful protests” was a ludicrous lie.

They knew the “cases” against President Trump were absurd.

Same for “gender affirming care”, “social distancing”.

And on & on.

They just don’t care.

They’re like Stalin announcing a wonderful harvest in the middle of a famine.

That’s not incompetence.

Check out this Sean Davis tweet where he lays out the four competing theories for the assassination attempt:

https://x.com/seanmdav/status/1813629266120114553

I've ended up in camp #3, where the secret service deliberately had lax security while the CIA (or some other black ops group) cultivated and radicalized the shooter using MKULTRA-like techniques for that moment. All the pieces fit.

The security shortfalls were beyond incompetent, they just cannot be explained by a lax attitude. Virtually everything that was under Secret Service control not only failed, but they ignored basic Security 101 type stuff. Yet no one on the detail pointed it it out and got it corrected? It seems obvious to me that the person in charge (who still hasn't been named) deliberately left that roof unguarded *and took specific steps* to ensure no one did guard it. There are videos of the shooter walking around the building looking up at the roof before it happened for crying out loud. They knew there was a guy on the roof with a gun for ten minutes yet they *still* let Trump go out on the stage.

But that isn't enough to explain it. An unguarded roof does no good without a shooter showing up at the right time. And the timing was perfect not only for the unguarded roof, but politically. Biden is collapsing, the Dems are falling apart, and it was right before Trump had named his VP. There is no GOP heir apparent and the nomination likely goes to Haley (assuming Martial Law isn't used as an excuse to cancel the election.) This supposed lone wolf loser just happens to show up at the most politically opportune moment imaginable.

I discussed yesterday what would have happened in the alternative timeline where the shooter was successful. The resulting chaos, riots, and likely Martial Law would have provided the perfect backdrop for them to get away with it. Yet they failed, are now exposed, and are floundering. They expected shock, grief, panic, and chaos to cover their tracks, they got none of it.
