Is it Time to Ghost the Left?

Paul Collier March 21, 2022

Your news outlets are not in the business of making money. They’re mostly subsidized by the mega corp that owns them.

Megacorpos, whatever you want to call them, produce content marketing packaged as news.

These same megacorpos have more lately also been using entertainment production more for content marketing than seeking to make profitable products.

These megacorps have been subsidized, in essense, by foreign markets, with China being bigger than maybe all the others combined. China has become the de facto subsizer of content marketing in America for the past 5-8 years.

The number one content marketing producer, by far and away, with over 80 percent shares in almost every market, is the DNC and the coalition of hate and opportunism that supports this death machine.

The DNC has been using megacorps, and being used by them as well (these folks are all always only frenemies), to push narratives and create ‘realities’ that create support for destroying a Constitutional Republican America, by any means necessary, as this slows down the mega-powered minute few from being able to move as quickly at manipulating society to their advantage as the rest of the world can, especially their number one frenemy, China.

None of these nation-states have a people with such a sense of individual liberty entitlement, and the DNC and megacorp coalition want nothing more than to join the rest of the world at the expense of American individual rights.

None of the major social and cultural means of production owners (and there’s maybe 15 or 20 total companies that own 80 plus percent of most of our major markets) have any interest in restoring or preserving rights for individuals. Not a one.

They want to compete with Chinese billionaires, but they imagine they can keep their DNC dangerous dragon ally on a leash.

This is not about being pro or anti-monopolistic, this is about the values of the leaders of those monopolies becoming fundamentally revolutionary in nature, antithetical to an American Constitutional Republic with a Bill of Rights that emphasizes the rights of individuals to choose their own beliefs, not have them forced on them by the powerful minute few.
Americans have a right to bad beliefs. End stop. No one can be forced to like anyone or anything or any belief or any action they choose not to like. This is America, not Soviet DNC, not yet.

The DNC looks at the megacorp Citadelians in the same way as these elites view them, as a necessary dangerous dragon ally, but one they will ultimately control.

These alliance are all frenemy alliances. Everyone in this ‘cult of self over the masses’ cabal sees themselves as the final highlander, ready to kill their best friend when the time comes. In minecraft, of course….

Perhaps it is time for the rest of us to simply start ignoring them
Those of us not fooled by the hateful agit prop, those of us not choosing to be opportunists and take advantage of the passive aggressive unaccountable type of power the DNC narratives create, and those of us who are not simple cowards afraid to speak up, might want to simply start ignoring these people altogether.

Stop complaining about their wackadoodle bad art woketarian garbage content. Laugh at it, sure, but stop acting angry. Let these fools play out their melodramatic out-of-tune song, and laugh while they drunk post their own l’s on twitter. Or not.

Maybe not even laugh at them. Just. Ignore them. They’re boring. They have like five lines and 15 words they use, and that’s about it. They’re not even entertaining lolcows at this point. They’re not even cringe. They’re just…….boring.

All this to say, if you can, just turn them off, tune them out, and make your own content if you have to.

We who have not gone insane will find each other and be there for our former friends and family when they stumble out of the mist and ask themseles “What the heck was I thinking?”

Unlike the left, we have mercy, we have grace, so no one who wants back will be rejected. No one gets permabanned for their crappy beliefs alone.

So yeah, just tune out and create. That’s my take.

How The US Could Counter Putin

Bill Collier March 13, 2022

William Collier- Regardless of HOW and WHY we, the US, got to this place of Russian revanchism, which was certainly goaded on by the would-be globalist hegemonic ruling class of the West, the situation now is that Russsia has become a hazard to our country and its allies. We can leave for future articles how we the freedom-loving masses ought to deal with our own corrupt ruling class who are to blame for this and focus for now on how we, as the US, might contend with the Putinistas, basically Putin and the oligarchs who support him.

We can start with the premise that Putin’s strength comes from a 60% to 70% approval among the Russian people because, basically, although it’s never quite as simple as this, he is viewed as a strong man and Russians, in the main, but not all Russians, adore the strong and despise the weak. There may be many reasons for this, but in general, when a leader is seen as strong they enjoy support, even if in character and in how they treat the Russian people, they are corrupt and evil.

This may SOMEWHAT be shifting as more and more Russians do not cotton to such thinking, but among most, among at least 60% if polling is accurate, it still holds that “strong is good and weak is bad.”

Keep this in mind.

Next, let’s consider three other factors: Russia has a basically under-developed and corrupt economic system, Russia is essentially a gas station, and the only real power Russia has is their nuclear arms.

So now we have four key things: Russians support the strong and hate the weak, Russia has an underdeveloped economy due to massive corruption, Russia’s only economic asset is gas and oil, and the only real military strength they have is nuclear arms.

The Putinistas are authoritarian and corrupt. While they cater to the Russian nationalist sentiment and some rightly see them as a counter to the West’s vision of a globalist corporate-government hegemony that is directly against nationalist sovereignty, the Putinistas are mostly for themselves first. Perhaps in Putin’s mind he and his cronies ARE the living embodiment of Russia, but the net effect is all wealth and power centers on Moscow and to hell with everyone else.

Add to all this that we, as in the US, have other fish to fry, as it were. We face threats in many quartets.

Internally we have this corporate-led assault on our history and way of life through the cancel-culture wokatariate and their rather intolerant behavior toward anyone who refuses to ditch their Judeo-Christian values for the new alt-gendered fantasy they call progress. On the other hand we have a reactionary core who, in response to this, are embracing things like identitarianism and either racial separatism or racial supremacism, and this could grow.

But externally we have threats coming from places like Iran and China, North Korea, Pakistan, Cuba, and Venezuela, among others.

Thankfully, at this time, our internal and external threats haven’t unified. The true powers, as in the actual shot-callers behind each of these threats, are as much against each other as they may be a threat to the people of the United States of America.

With all this in mind, how do we, as in the US, counter Putin and his cronies?

At the basic level we have to seek ways, in every possible arena, to make him and his cronies look weak and powerless. His chosen arena is Ukraine and while countering him there may be important, as we analyze all the arenas Russia must operate in we will find many opportunities to out Putin on his back foot.

First, there is the more obvious fact Russia depends on energy exportation. Second, there are Russian goals in Syria whose regime Putin props up. Third, there is the Russian defense industry which exports weapons all over the world. Fourth, there are Russian territories claimed by Japan and China. Fifth, there are Russian economic and investment schemes in Africa.

All these vulnerabilities present opportunities to bring pain to bear and make Putin look weak.

In Syria, for instance, and with Iran as her ally, Russia has severe disadvantages if we care to exploit them. The US can shut Iran off from all exports and imports via the sea. The US can arm anti-Assad forces in Syria while Russia cannot bring seaborn reinforcements as long as the war in Ukraine is happening. These moves would potentially force the Russians out of Syria and would demonstrate how Russia could do nothing to help their ally Iran.

As for Ukraine itself, efforts to continue to supply Ukraine with anti-air and anti-armor weapons and munitions should continue apace, albeit through many points and not via massive convoys the Russians can bomb. The erosion of Russian military might in Ukraine plays into a narrative that Putin is weak.

Now let’s consider all the places where Russia is vulnerable internally and use our covert means to foment trouble on every periphery. Russia has a substantial and growing, and disaffected, Muslim minority, some of whom may feel strongly that Russia is their foe. Russia has cordial relations with the Central Asian countries, this is something we ought to be undermining.

We can support the opposition in Belarus and Khazajstan, for instance, and foment unrest at a time when Russia cannot spare forces to put them down.

Instead of thinking holistically about a global response on Russia’s periphery, the present US administration, whose policies in line with past Presidents have goaded the Russians into attacking Ukraine, are thinking in a very limited and one-dimensional way. They are actually perpetuating the mythos of Putin as a strong man who they are powerless to stop because it might “escalate” things. Having goaded the Russians we are now saying we don’t want to escalate things further with them lest they unleash nuclear holocaust.

It would have been better to counsel the Ukrainians to pursue strong neutrality, to cool their ambitions to join the EU and NATO, and to actually invest in a credible air defense, which they neglected up until now. As for whether or not the US actually operates or funds biolabs and whether or not they are former Soviet labs or present-day bioweapons programs, the activities of the US, under Fauci’s management, in these things remains suspect.

But, be that as it may, the mythos of Russia as being 10 feet tall and Putin being beyond our reach stems from the fact we are playing in his sandbox and on his terms instead of taking a holistic approach. Goading the Russians into a war that is spiraling out of control was bad policy, but now that we have, the question is, “should we retreat and let Putin be the strong man or should we take the battle into arenas where he is helpless?”

Undermining Putin’s standing as a strong man is the easiest way to depict him as weak and undermine his support among his people but, most importantly, his fellow oligarchs.

The fact the US is not taking a holistic view of limiting Putin’s power and is not encouraging peace in Ukraine based on neutrality may prove that the people pulling the levers of power in Washington today aren’t really doing so in the interest of the American people.

Politics Drives Medical “Science”

How ONE man, a certain Andrew Hill, single-handedly torpedoed serious medical science in service of a political agenda. Why are medical scientists and medical professionals being pushed so hard to ditch the science and alter the evidence and facts? The answer is, we propose, a wonton and deliberate effort to EXPLOIT a man-made crisis in order to gain power and wealth. Suppressing the science is all about not treating a known disease, one probably man-made with the collusion of official persons, because the regimen sought by officials, namely lockdowns and mandates, is more useful than simply treating and curing people.

To be clear- the ruling class, through their organs of control, have pushed an agenda that is as anti-science as it is anti-freedom, and the result is not only needless deaths due to the disease, but needless deaths caused by the lockdowns and disruptions of health care and basic services they caused, Basically, human lives were sacrificed in a bid to further erode human freedom and transfer more productive wealth to unproductive legacy billionaires.

This is a crime against humanity in which dozens, or at most hundreds, of powerful people have betrayed billions of people.

Use Gold to End Inflation Without Recession

Ralph Benko March 11, 2022

By Ralph J. Benko

Donald Trump, inadvertently, certainly, and unnoticed, virtually, has put his successor Joe Biden in the hot seat. How so?

As Nobel economics laureate Milton Friedman famously declared and later distinguished economists confirmed it takes up to two years before the Fed’s overenthusiastic gunning of the money supply shows up in consumer prices.

Called: “inflation.” Let’s rewind.

But first… inflation is a misnomer. Rising prices are just a symptom of the real problem: a sinking dollar.

Donald Trump spent a lot of time pounding the table for a weaker dollar going on two years ago:

Bloomberg, March 3, 2019: Trump Says Dollar Too Strong in Renewed Criticism of Powell;
- Reuters, June 25, 2019: Trump thinks dollar is too strong, blames Fed policy;
- Reuters, November 18, 2019: Trump says he told Fed’s Powell US interest rates are too high.

Trump, a very “in the moment” guy, surely had no idea that a weak dollar would cause inflation later. But … you get the drift.

Fed chairman Jay Powell discretely accommodated Trump’s incessant demands. Now Trump’s inflation chickens are coming home to roost … in the Biden henhouse.

A president, after a lag, always gets the dollar – weak or strong – he wants. This is an open secret. As I wrote at Forbes back in 2014:

As journalist Steven Solomon wrote in his indispensable exploration of the Fed, The Confidence Game: How Unelected Central Bankers Are Governing the Changed World Economy (Simon & Schuster, 1995):

“Although they strained to portray themselves as nonthreatening, nonpartisan technician-managers of the status quo, central bankers, like proverbial Supreme Court justices reading election returns, used their acute political antennae to intuit how far they could lean against the popular democratic winds. ‘Chairmen of the Federal Reserve,’ observes ex-Citibank Chairman Walter Wriston, ‘have traditionally been the best politicians in Washington. The Fed serves a wonderful function. They get beat up on by the Congress and the administration. Everyone knows the game and everyone plays it. But no one wants their responsibility.’”

True news.

Yet old news.

What’s weird and unsettling is that virtually nobody in Washington is pinning the blame where it obviously belongs, on Donald Trump’s weak dollar demands. The Pachyderms, who know better, or should, blame inflation on the big Democratic Party-led spending.

Balderdash! Yet it’s understandable that Pachyderms would wish to avoid placing blame on their former titular leader, the punitive Trump. Truth be told, the GOP spent at least as drunkenly as the Dems. But it’s plain dopey to pin a monetary disorder, inflation, on fiscal policy.

So, what’s up with the Donks? Instead of sticking their archnemesis Trump with the blame that belongs to him they are making absurd claims that Greedy Big Business is at fault for rising prices. Preposterous.

We have known at least as far back as Adam Smith that businessmen will always conspire to raise prices. Smith, who practically invented capitalism, called out the greed of businessmen explicitly in capitalism’s bible, Wealth of Nations.

It’s not munificence or counsels of civic virtue that constrains businesspeople from raising prices. It’s competition.

Big Businesswomen (and men!) are no greedier now than they were before inflation kicked up. Profit maximization is a constant among the merchant class.

So, by blaming Big Business, Biden and the Bidenistas are making a transparently absurd argument. Nobody to the right of Bernie Sanders – meaning, most Americans – buys this lame story.

This is doubly weird because the midterm elections are coming up. These will be a referendum on the government’s pandemic response … and inflation.

This farce would be funny if the joke weren’t on us. With both the Republicans and Democrats getting the cause of inflation badly wrong we are likely to get continuing inflation… followed by a cure as bad as, or worse: recession.

As the Wall Street Journal recently observed, “Historically, the Fed hasn’t been able to push down inflation without a recession.” This, sadly, is true enough. Yet a recession really isn’t required to cure inflation.

H.L. Mencken once wrote that “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” So long as the Republicans and the Democrats are engaging exclusively in blame-shifting, rather than restoring the proven-effective supply-side policies of stabilizing the dollar and keeping tax rates reasonably low, we common people are going to get it good and hard.

That said, nobody I know of in power in America is looking at the real, historically proven, Constitutional solution. That would be making the dollar legally convertible into gold at a fixed price, say $2,000/oz.

After a short adjustment period gold convertibility would end inflation while creating a wonderful climate of equitable prosperity and job creation. The gold standard worked extraordinarily well for almost 200 years!

Gold is out of fashion with the smart set, such as PhD economists who haven’t delivered anything nearly as good. Nothing else has worked nearly as well as gold.

And so here we are, facing the worst inflation in 40 years. Our politicians giving us a Hobson’s Choice between seeing our savings and salaries shrink in buying power, by inflation, or seeing our neighbors, or even ourselves, thrown out of work by a completely unnecessary recession.

Yikes! Money printer go brrr?

It falls to us—including you, dear reader—to contact our Representatives by their websites, emails, phone calls and even good old-fashioned letters. Guide their footsteps back onto the Paths of Righteousness. Tell them:

“You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of federal reserve notes!”

Onward to a golden age.

Like the DNC, China Wants to Censor Internet Misinformation

Paul Collier March 10, 2022

A high-level member of the political advisory board of the Chinese Communist Party has been telegraphing the next move by Chairman Xi’s party to assure that any dissent that might grow is nipped in the bud before it ever blooms. To that end, the high-ranking member of the prestigious political advisory board, Jia Qungguo, has been complaining about the proliferation of ‘misinformation’ on the Chinese Communist Party controlled internet.

Jia said, “….there are often people online who, for some purpose, package a foreigner’s vicious remarks against China as the view of everyone in that country towards China in order to incite the Chinese people’s dissatisfaction and hostility towards said country and its people,”

You see, friends, if we can’t all reflect the world policies of the state, how can we be trusted, how can we be safe as a people? In the name of protecting citizens from dangerous thoughts that could lead others to make bad decisions, the DNC pushes for hate speech laws and more social media censorship, following, it would seem, this model that has been used for centuries in China, the Chinese Communist Party method of controlling and eliminating potential competition, dissent.

Chinese government adviser calls for law to ban ‘fake news’ | China

From www.theguardian.com
2022-03-08 12:29:00

Excerpt:

An adviser to the Chinese government has called for new laws to ban “fabricating and disseminating fake information online”, blaming the rampant disinformation on the internet for polarising Chinese public opinion.

Jia Qingguo, a member of China’s highest political advisory body, said he also believed the proliferation of misinformation online had fuelled tensions between China and foreign countries.

“For example, there are often people online who, for some purpose, package a foreigner’s vicious remarks against China as the view of everyone in that country towards China in order to incite the Chinese people’s dissatisfaction and hostility towards said country and its people,” Jia said in an interview on Saturday with online news portal The Cover, which is affiliated with the state-owned Sichuan Daily.

The former dean of the prestigious Peking University’s School of International Studies added that the spread of fake news could harm national interests, and lead to public confusion and social division. He called on Beijing to introduce specific measures to “severely punish” those who create false information to “cause serious harm to society”.
