Kabuki Theater for the Masses

Hunter Biden gets a laughable wrist slap for felonies that would have landed ordinary folks behind bars for a decade or more.

Communications surface that show bribery and corruption with Hunter and “the Big Guy.”

The FBI and DOJ actively interfered in the 2016 and then again in the 2020 elections, and are guilty of sedition and treason for hamstringing a sitting American president.

None of which is receiving much MSM coverage, because the media is also as guilty as a truck stop hooker.

This is the America that now exists. Where distractions like the sub drama and Trump indictment are used by the machine to distract from any actual news that shows the machine’s malevolence and corruption.

Used to be, Americans believed their nation was a shining Camelot on the hill, a beacon of fairness and ethics for the rest of the world. But now, it’s been revealed to be as corrupt as the worst banana republics, with no rule of law for the connected, and oppressive rule for everyone else.

I don’t see this improving. When empires die, they go down hard, and the populations are always the ones who suffer the most from the chaos of the implosion. The US hasn’t fought a war against anyone but goat herders and peasants with sharp sticks and rusting AKs for my entire lifetime, and has botched pretty much every engagement (except Iraq, where it murdered something like a million people who were defending their country from an illegal invasion based on complete lies).

Americans are apathetic about the corruption. Their putative government is hopelessly in debt that can never be repaid. Their politicians become rich beyond measure while in office and being paid low six figures. Their police have zero regard for the constitution that’s supposed to protect the rubes, as does their government and their courts. Their money is issued by a privately owned bank in violation of the constitution’s plain language only authorizing gold and silver as currency (and note nowhere does the constitution allow the Treasury to outsource its job of creating currency to a privately owned cartel), and is debt, which they spend their entire lives struggling to make. They pay insane taxes and are rewarded with crumbling infrastructure, undrinkable water, falling longevity, and chronic illness. They are indoctrinated in government schools and inculcated with the notion that government is Daddy, and that rational skepticism and logic are evil and bad. They pay more than any other nation for healthcare that kills them (the third largest cause of death is medical mistakes). They believe themselves to be free while their prosperity is stripped via something like 200+ taxes, fees, licences, permits, and so on. And they put up with it.

They are easily distracted by whatever new shiny thing is presented to them, much like a not-particularly-bright toddler. Kardashians are the national heroes of an entire generation, based on being rich with no skills other than willingness to parade their disturbances in public for profit, and extreme narcisism. They have been sold the lie that diversity is strength even as those peddling the nonsense ignore what they’re advocating. Their media has tiny minorities presented as though they are a substantial majority of the population and their interests should trump those of the individual, or even the actual majority. Their cultural values of family, religion, sexual norms, ethics, morality, virtues, have all been supplanted by fringe deviancy and twisted idiocy.

In short, the culture has severed its moorings and is floating in a haze of invented drama designed to destroy it.

I watched, fascinated, as the media ignores anything that conflicts with official narratives. I watched, horrified, as the masses willingly lined up to be injected with an untested gene therapy that had been too deadly for use in humans for two decades - all over a flu with a survival rate of 99.8+% if you weren’t over 80 and already sitting in God’s waiting room or afflicted with at least three or four non-trivial morbidities, i.e. sicker than a dog already. I continue to watch as obesity is normalized and now celebrated in defiance of a mountain of data showing it to be deadly. I watch in wonder as the media, medical profession, and government pretend to be mystified by the young and healthy dropping like flies, exactly as was predicted by myself and a host of experts who were censored and silenced and persecuted for their warnings.

I left the country 19 years ago today. I did so after 9-11, the Patriot Act, and the Iraq invasion convinced me that we were circling the bowl and wouldn’t be able to pull out in any meaningful way. The 2008 financial crisis, where the country was thrown under the bus so 50 super rich elites wouldn’t lose money on their bad bets, confirmed my prescient instinct. 15 years of zero interest rates to further enrich those elites so they could rebuild their balance sheets at the expense of the middle class and their pension funds and insurance companies proved me correct.

Now, a substantial portion of the world is abandoning the dollar for trade, as the weaponization against Russia has demonstrated that the US will illegally abuse the currency to punish those who refuse to be vassals, much less defy it.

There is no way this ends well. I have many friends in California, most of whom by now have had the good sense to get the hell out. But it took a while. I’ve advised for years that if you have the ability, you should be looking elsewhere than the US to live out your life, because it’s going from bad to worse. I predict this next election is going to be so corrupt, so obviously rigged, that it renders even the most delusional about voting being able to change anything completely disgusted. And when the inevitable social unrest over effective 20% annual inflation coupled with their votes meaning nothing really kicks into gear, there will be a run for the exits, which will be met with the powers that be closing the door so you can’t get out.

That’s my current take. I’m looking forward to another 19 great years in Mexico, which is far from perfect but way better than what I left, and would encourage anyone who is on the fence to make some hard decisions before it’s too late. If I sound downbeat, it’s because I don’t have a lot of hope. The leadership is going full 1984, driving us to WW3 and nuclear winter, and has abandoned any pretense of not having its boot on our neck for the rest of time via digital currencies, 15 minute cities, vaccine mandates, and draconian abuse of every sort.
