Notes From Clown World: October 26, 2024.

I left the Democratic Party eight years ago because I got tired of their lies. Theirs is a party that gains and retains power through fear-mongering, division, promises of free stuff, and endless deception. It's an organization of wealthy political elites who pretend to care about us, but their real goal is keeping us broke and demoralized, dependent upon them for everything. For decades they've dishonestly pandered to black Americans, and sadly, their tactics have been very effective. Democrats traditionally win the majority of black votes, despite the party being the early foundation of the Ku Klux Klan and despite Hillary Clinton's hero, Margaret Sanger, being a eugenicist who targeted black Americans. The organization Sanger founded is now known as Planned Parenthood and is responsible for the murder of millions of black babies. 

Time passes, but little changes. Kamala Harris is promising free stuff to blacks and spreading fear within the black community in a desperate attempt to win this year's presidential election. On her website, she portrays Donald Trump as some sort of monster who is a "serious threat to the lives of black men", while providing no credible proof to back up her claim. She's promising 1 million forgivable loans of up to $20,000 each to black entrepreneurs, with the losses covered by hardworking Americans of all races who will have no say in the matter. She's pitching a vague plan to create a National Health Equity Initiative focused on black men, but there are no details on what this actually is or what it will cost, or why black women are excluded. And she's proposing price controls on food and rent, despite historical evidence that these sorts of schemes typically result in food and housing shortages which hurt minorities worst of all. 

Will black Americans take the bait once again and vote for Democrats in 2024? If the number of Kamala Harris yard signs I'm seeing in black neighborhoods is any indication, I'd have to say, "yes, this year more than ever". 

Perhaps some of her support is the result of endorsements from super-wealthy celebrities with more talent than brains. Already Harris has been endorsed by Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, and Geraldo Rivera. Dozens of other musicians and Hollywood stars have jumped on the Kamala-train too, but doing the research so I can list them all would be nauseating. And considering what we know about the A-listers who visited Jeffrey Epstein's island and the stars allegedly involved in the Sean Combs (P Diddy) sex scandal, celebrity endorsements don't really help Harris' reputation. I doubt Willie Nelson shared baby oil with Jennifer Lopez over at Diddy's crib, but a lot of us have become very suspicious of anyone involved in the film and music industries, and rightly so. Unlike in the past, bragging about celebrity endorsements is not going to win over many hearts and minds in middle America. And this cuts both ways: endorsing a politician who pushes abortions, wars, forced vaccinations, censorship, and Communist economic policies isn't going to help movie and music sales. It could actually tank your career.

"The scariest Halloween decorations have to be those Harris signs in people's yards."

Does Keith Olbermann have any friends who can check on him? His tweets make him look like an unhinged madman. I'm thinking he might need a psychiatric evaluation before he hurts himself. He recently said "We need to arrest and detain Elon Musk immediately". On what charges, Keith? For resisting the radical left and their tyrannical, authoritarian agenda? Olbermann says Musk is "operating on behalf of Russia" (as if Russia is actually our enemy), but he offers no proof. He doesn't even want to give Musk a trial: he demands that President Biden "lock him away in a military facility". 

What country does Keith Olbermann think he lives in? This isn't North Korea, Keith, although you and your kind are pushing us toward just such a Communist, hellish existence. 

Keith, if you'll send me your address, I'll send you a copy of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. I suggest you read it and learn how things are designed to work here in America. Sending people to gulags isn't part of the plan.

Finally today, we have an ANTIFA cartoon that's funny, but more true than I'd like to think. If Donald Trump wins in November, there is no doubt in my mind that Democrats and their allies of the radical left will refuse to accept the election results. I've heard that more than 40 lawsuits have already been written, ready to be deployed if Trump wins. And I expect violence to erupt as well, with indoctrinated leftists and paid agitators leaving their mom's basements to go and burn cities, just like in the 2020 "Summer of love". But I expect the protests will go on longer, and burn hotter, because the left is even more ignorant, intolerant, and filled with hate than they were four years ago. They have an irrational hatred of Trump and all who support him, and a Trump victory will push their frail minds over the edge. If they can't have their way, they'll try to tear everything down with the hope of launching a violent Communist revolution.

Right now, they're preparing. Are you?

Which Candidate Will Shrink The Federal Government? Let's Take A Look.

As a lifelong libertarian, I've always felt that the biggest obstacle to a free and prosperous society is an oppressive and parasitic government. In the United States we have a federal government that began with good intentions more than 200 years ago, but has since become a hostile, angry monster that can never be fed enough. The size of the government is staggering: as of 2022, "the federal government employs nearly 9.1 million workers, comprising nearly 6 percent of total employment in the United States. The figure includes nearly 2.1 million federal employees, 4.1 million contract employees, 1.2 million grant employees, 1.3 million active duty military personnel, and more than 500,000 postal service employees." [source: The Hill] There are more federal employees than the total population of Austria. The federal budget for 2024 is $6.9 trillion, and that number is expected to grow no matter who is elected president in November. The national debt is currently more than $35 trillion [source: Statista] and that number rises by another trillion dollars every 100 days. The federal debt to GDP ratio is now at 122%, meaning we're broke.

The United States is a bankrupt nation that functions on debt and the intimidation of the world through our military. This is an unsustainable situation, and an economic crash is inevitable unless drastic action is taken to reign in the spending. Painful decisions will have to be made to ensure the long-term security of the nation. But politicians don't like to make decisions that cause pain. They'd rather kick the proverbial can down the road and hope someone else comes up with a real solution, after they've left office.

And beyond the financial woes, our monstrous government is a burden on society, imposing oppressive laws, rules, regulations, and red tape that cripple our ability to get anything useful done. Picture Star Wars' 'Jabba the Hut' sitting on a throne and eating everything in sight and you'll have a good idea of what our government has become.

It's critical that we reign in this obese monster before it destroys and consumes everything it can reach. But will anyone do it? Does anyone have the courage? I decided to take a look at the campaign platforms of the top four candidates and see if any of them are taking the situation seriously with plans to shrink the government. 

Kamala Harris (and the establishment players she represents), offers little hope or change in the size of the federal government. She is the face of the deep state, the entrenched bureaucrats who remain in power for decades and run the nation un-Constitutionally via policies and regulations. Harris is the vice-president because of the deep state, so you can bet she won't do anything to upset them. One of the first items in her platform says she will "make affordable health care a right, not a privilege by expanding and strengthening the Affordable Care Act" (socialism). She claims she will "make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share in taxes", although she doesn't say what a "fair share" is. She brags about the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the American Rescue Plan, all of which combined added trillions to the national debt. 

Unfortunately for us, Harris' platform contains very little other than references to things she did in the past. On issue after issue, her website talks about what she did as a prosecutor in California or as a member of Congress. There are no specific plans listed for what she will do in the future, except vague statements such as promising to work on the (alleged) climate crisis, or saying she'll end the fentanyl crisis by "signing the bipartisan border bill that will fund detection technology to intercept even more illicit drugs". 

So we're left wondering what she'll actually do. But we know her ideology is rooted in Marxism, so it's a fair guess to say a Harris presidency will be one of taxing, spending, unfettered government growth, and more intrusions into our lives.

Jill Stein of the Green Party, starts out with drastic cuts to our military (50-75%). I applaud her desire to close military bases overseas, disband NATO, and stop military funding of Israel and Ukraine. But she then pledges those funds as a "peace dividend" to a number of spending plans, such as the bogus "climate change" agenda and "universal access to basic human needs for food, clean water and sanitation, education, and health care for every human being on Earth". Stein is promising to build 15 million green, union-built, publicly-owned homes, expand HUD and US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Programs for first-time home buyers, guarantee lifelong free public education for all institutions of learning, including trade schools and Pre-K through college and graduate school, and guarantee free childcare. 

In other words, Jill Stein loves a big government, as long as that government is administering far-left social programs instead of wars. Her platform doesn't mention the federal budget or the national debt at all, except to recommend that we "tax the ultra-wealthy and giant corporations heavily". Unfortunately for Stein, even if the government stole every penny of every wealthy person in the country, it still wouldn't make a dent in the $35 trillion debt. 

Our next Marxist candidate is Cornel West. His platform repeats the word "justice" 17 times just in the category list alone. This should give you some idea of where a West presidency would end up. His platform mentions universal basic income, an expansion of parental leave & disability benefits, "fostering businesses that embody the principles of collective ownership" (communism), a "vow to significantly amplify funding for maternal health initiatives tailored to the needs of Black women (racism), free tuition for higher education, "climate reparations to recognize the deep injustices of climate change" (fake science), on top of a number of other so-called "green" initiatives that you and I will have to pay for. Like Stein, West proposes cuts to the military, including "disbanding NATO" and closing overseas bases. But then he says we need to cancel the debts of developing nations, despite the U.S. itself being bankrupt. It's hard to make the math work on his Marxist vision for America.

Cornel West loves a big government that taxes heavily, spends freely, and imposes itself upon us at every turn. That's not much different than what we already have. The only real difference is what the money gets spent on.

As the MAGA Republican candidate, we should expect Donald Trump to be the candidate most likely to tame the savage beast that is our government. But what does he have to say about it?

He says he wants to "stop outsourcing and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower". Reducing imports and increasing exports would certainly help our situation, but Trump offers no details on how he will actually do this. Will it involve more government spending or the creation of a new trade agency? He doesn't say. Unfortunately he does say he will increase military spending, including by building a "great iron dome missile defense shield over our entire country". Such a system, which has proven to be a failure in Israel, will cost us billions of dollars...possibly trillions, and isn't needed since we have no enemies with intercontinental missiles who are foolish enough to start World War 3. An iron dome is nothing but a hand-out to the military industrial complex, the same people who have helped to bankrupt our nation and have kept wars going throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. 

Trump also says he will "rebuild our cities", but again doesn't say how he'll do it. Is this another spending program? It sure looks like it to me.

I wish I could tell you more, but Trump's platform is completely lacking in details. It's a collection of grand words and concepts. But I can tell you there's nothing in it that mentions shrinking the government, cutting spending, or reducing the debt.

If you dig a little deeper, you can find the Republican Party's platform which is different in some ways than what you'll find on Trump's campaign website. There, you will see the Republican's promise to "rein in wasteful federal spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the economy by slashing wasteful government spending and promoting economic growth." How will it be slashed? They don't say. They also promise to "cut costly and burdensome regulations: Republicans will reinstate President Trump's deregulation policies, which saved Americans $11,000 per household, and end Democrats’ regulatory onslaught that disproportionately harms low and middle-income households." That one statement alone is the most encouraging thing I've seen on any of the platforms. But I question why it's on the Republican Party's platform but not on Trump's website.

Another positive note on the Republican's platform is this: "Republicans will end Democrats’ unlawful and un-American crypto crackdown and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency. We will defend the right to mine Bitcoin, and ensure every American has the right to self-custody of their digital assets, and transact free from government surveillance and control." That's a huge statement, and I hope the Republicans have the guts to follow through. 

While there isn't much in either Trump's or the RNC's platforms that suggest they'll cut spending, (and Trump's platform has the wasteful "Iron Dome" boondoggle) their agendas do appear to have the goal of stimulating the economy, reducing the trade deficit, ending at least some of the government's burdensome regulations, and protecting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. None of the other three candidates are proposing anything similar.

My reservation with Donald Trump and the Republican Party is we've had a lot of promises in the past and an equal amount of disappointments. We don't need four more years of excuses. We need results. And we need results that will last beyond the next election season. 

And it's important to note that none of the candidates have said anything in their campaign platforms about reversing Joe Biden's massive funding increase to the IRS that would enable up to 80,000 new agents to be hired. None of the candidates mention eliminating or greatly downsizing any of the "three letter agencies" such as the CIA, the FBI, the CDC, or the FDA, that have done so much harm to the American people in the past several years. They won't even touch easy targets such as cutting funding to Planned Parenthood or NPR.

But after reading the campaign platforms, I can say without any doubt that the only candidate who has a chance of controlling the "hostile, angry monster that can never be fed enough" is Trump. The other three candidates don't even pretend to care about the problem.

Vote accordingly.

Revelations: September 30, 2024.

Pictured above is Pope Francis sitting in front of a sculpture by Pericle Fazzini known as 'The Resurrection' (La Resurrezione) in the Paul VI Audience Hall in Rome. Officially, the sculpture was intended to capture the anguish of 20th century mankind living under the threat of nuclear war. La Resurrezione depicts Jesus rising from a nuclear crater in the Garden of Gethsemane. Fazzini summarized the action of the statue as "Christ rises from this crater torn open by a nuclear bomb; an atrocious explosion, a vortex of violence and energy." [source: Wikipedia]

If you're Catholic, it may be hard to put aside your bias, but for the rest of us, this sculpture seems totally inappropriate for a place that's supposed to be Holy. In fact, it looks like something spit up from the depths of Hell. The artist claimed it depicts Jesus, and in some warped way it might, but I suspect the inspiration was more demonic than divine. It doesn't help that the Paul VI Audience Hall looks like the head of a snake, including fangs.

Maybe it's all perfectly innocent, but for a church that has been plagued by scandals, especially of the pedophile variety, having an audience hall reminiscent of a serpent decked out with a hellish sculpture isn't going to convince the world that you're doing the work of God. 

As reported in SlayNews.com, an explosive study has revealed the COVID mRNA shots are “directly” linked to 74% of all recorded deaths. "The damning study uncovered evidence in autopsy data showing that Covid injections contributed to a staggering 73.9% of all deaths around the world," reports Slay. 

In the “Background” section of the study’s paper, the researchers explain:

“The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines, combined with a high number of adverse event reports, has led to concerns over possible mechanisms of injury including systemic lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and mRNA distribution, Spike protein-associated tissue damage, thrombogenicity, immune system dysfunction, and carcinogenicity." 

The most implicated organ system among cases was the cardiovascular (49%), followed by hematological (17%), respiratory (11%), and multiple organ systems (7%). The study comes amid a growing body of evidence linking the COVID mRNA injections to multiple deadly health conditions and related sudden deaths, reports Slay.

For the entire story and a link to the study, click here.

In another COVID-related story, Canberra Daily News of Australia has reported something I've been saying for years: there are no records of the “COVID virus”. In an article written by Christine Massey, she discusses how she and a team of volunteers sent Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to health officials around the world for all studies held by the institutions, from anywhere, that found and purified alleged virus particles from any human. Said Massey, "We now have official responses from 224 institutions in 40 different countries. Not one of them was able to provide or cite such a study, hence none have scientific evidence of the alleged virus. It is clear that there is no valid independent variable to study in their experiments, which means that virology is based in pseudoscience."

She goes on to say, "We eventually expanded our investigation to other alleged viruses. No matter which institution is asked or which alleged virus we ask about, the results are always the same: no records. Put simply, this means that the “viruses” were imagined to exist but have never been found."

And if the viruses don't exist, then there was no need for the COVID vaccines which have injured and killed so many people. In fact, there's no need for any kind of vaccine at all.

For the whole story, click here. 

Finally today, if you think there will be peace on earth if Donald Trump is elected in November, his son-in-law Jared Kushner has news for you. Kushner, a hardcore Zionist who directed much of Trump's foreign policy in his first term, recently said the US must support the "peace-seeking nation of Israel" launching a ground invasion of Lebanon to "finish the job."

Anyone who thinks Israel is a "peace-seeking nation" is either a propagandist for Israel, or a victim of Israeli propaganda. Most of the world now agrees that Israel is a war-mongering nation of terror that has kept the middle east destabilized for decades. They have a stated goal of expanding far beyond their current borders, and nations such as Iran and Lebanon are standing in their way. This is why American politicians constantly accuse them of all kinds of criminal activities, including making the baseless claim that Iran is behind the assassination attempts on Trump. By portraying Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq as threats to world peace, the excuse is made to go to war on behalf of Israel. 

If Trump becomes president again, you can bet he'll be closely listening to the advice given by Kushner, and American troops (and national debt) will become involved in a large conflict in the middle east that could lead to World War III, assuming the Ukraine conflict doesn't take us there first.

Israel has become like a disease, and Zionism is like a pandemic. Both are threats to humanity and both must be reigned in if the middle east, and indeed the entire world, is ever to see lasting peace.

The easiest way to do that would be for the United States to cut off funding to Israel. But that will never happen since our government is heavily influenced by lobbying from AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), which seems to have more control of our elected officials than the citizens do.

Revelations: September 20, 2024.

"Never forget: these are paid actors reading a script crafted to manipulate your perception of reality."

We live in a fake world. It's a world of many layers, each one made of propaganda, misinformation, fear porn, and outright lies. These layers were created by manipulative people who want to control your life and steal your money. The fake world keeps us busy chasing things of no real value while struggling to survive. It distracts us with television, sports, fake news, and soul-killing jobs. It numbs us with alcohol, drugs, and sex. Reality exists, but it's not what we're told it is. Reality, as near as it gets in the physical realm, is simple, spiritual, and directly connected to the divine. But the demons who currently run this world want you disconnected from your true nature and instead consumed by confusion, anxiety, false ideas, and fear.

It's the job of the news media to keep you disconnected. They pretend to be informing you while hiding the truth and reading carefully crafted scripts to keep you in the grip of illusions, a victim of the fake world. 

Believe nothing they say. Assume they are lying. Know that they'll never tell you what you really need to know.

They are agents of the devil, complicit in chaos and death.

Just when you thought politics couldn't get any worse, we're now getting reports that attendees of a recent Trump rally are complaining of painful physical symptoms, mostly involving their eyes. While some speculate that a chemical weapon may have been used, others have suggested that a directed energy weapon may have been deployed. Similar weapons were used in Australia in 2020 and 2021 when the government was trying to disperse anti-COVID lockdown rallies. As far as we know, directed energy weapons have never before been used against U.S. citizens, but we now have a leftist authoritarian regime doing the bidding of the maniacs in the deep state, so anything is possible. We've already seen two attempted assassinations against Donald Trump that appear to be linked to either the FBI or the CIA. These are rogue, anti-American agencies that only care about un-Constitutional power. No one should be surprised if they begin physically targeting U.S. citizens who are deemed to be threats to that power.

It's the lie that never ends. Even though there is no proof that SARS-CoV-2 exists anywhere in the world, and even though researchers have proven there was no pandemic in 2020, the deep state and the devils in the news media continue to push the lie that a virus escaped from Wuhan, China. The first thing they need to do is prove that viruses are real and can actually cause diseases. They've never done it because they know they can't. Virology has been totally debunked by a number of doctors and researchers around the world, and in my opinion it's a dead theory we should be moving on from. But the theory of viruses is good for controlling the masses and keeping us in fear. Fearful people are obedient people. And in the case of China, by trying to pin "COVID" on a Wuhan lab, the deep state creates an evil nemesis we can all rally against when American psychopaths decide to start their next war in Asia. That's why the Wuhan virus story is so important to them and won't go away. They love their wars, and they'll tell any lie as an excuse to start dropping bombs.

Still on the subject of viruses, in the fake news today they're warning about 'XEC', an alleged new variant of COVID-19. Rest assured that this is nothing but more fear porn from the mind-control media. How they can identify a new variant of a virus that has never been isolated, replicated, and proven to exist? They might as well tell us they've found a new kind of unicorn. And notice in the headline above, they tell us "vaccines should provide some protection from it". How? Protection from something that doesn't exist? And they're still not mentioning the millions of injuries and the hundreds of thousands (some say millions) of deaths attributed to the COVID vaccines. Hiding this information is a crime against humanity.

Finally today, I give you this heart-wrenching photo of children mourning the death of another child, a victim of the terrorist nation of Israel. One observer noted, "There are no children in Gaza. They are either killed by Israel, or forced to grow up fast."

Stop the killing. Stop the #GazaGenocide.

Notes From Clown World: August 20, 2024.

According to Psychology Today magazine, "projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another."

Projection in this sense is something the Democrats have practiced for decades. It seems that whatever they accuse the Republicans of doing, you can bet real money the Democrats are the ones actually doing it. But at the DNC convention in Chicago, they've taken their psychological trick to a new level...literally.  The DNC is using a projector to put various messages on the face of the Chicago Trump Tower, without permission, of course. The most comical of the messages is the one that reads, "Trump-Vance "Weird As Hell"". Do the Democrats see the irony of this message, or are they completely lacking self-awareness? 

There are a lot of things Kamala Harris could attack Trump on, but calling someone else "weird" is something she should probably avoid. Aside from her own word-salad speeches and the time she's spent being the number two person to a mumbling, shuffling corpse, she recently picked communist Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota as her vice presidential running mate. It would be hard to find anyone more weird than Walz. Apparently the man was a complete tyrant during the COVID lockdowns, happily destroying small businesses so that big box stores could thrive. It's not that he likes big box stores; it's that he's a weak man who went after even weaker targets without the means to fight back. That makes him a bully. I've also heard reports from Minnesota residents that he imposed a curfew and then ordered the National Guard to yell at citizens who dared to sit outside on their front porches for a little fresh air. Offenders were shot at by the Guard using paintball guns. And let's not forget that Gov. Walz bribed parents with $200 payments to get them to inject their kids with unproven, experimental injections falsely labeled as "vaccines". Some of those children will grow up to have lifelong, chronic health issues, thanks to Walz.

Even more weird: the Democrats endorse the transgender agenda, woke culture, censorship, forced vaccination, exposing children to sexual behavior, and abortion. They believe the climate change myth, they worship government as a form of religion, and they think blue is an acceptable color for hair.

Democrats: Weird As Hell. 

[screenshot above - not a playable video]

Of course, Trump is doing enough harm to his reputation without the help of the Democrats.  As if his obsession with Israel and the Zionists isn't bad enough, he still thinks being the "father of the COVID vaccines" is a good thing. Apparently he loses no sleep thinking about the millions of people around the world who were injured or killed by his toxic jabs. And now, despite his 2016 promise of building a wall on the southern border, or his 2024 promise of deporting illegals, he's now promising to "let a lot of people come in". Trump seems to think that artificial intelligence will require more people, but in reality, A.I. (especially when combined with robots) will destroy millions of jobs around the world, and the United States will not be immune from the carnage. Very soon, machines will begin taking our jobs at a pace that most of us simply aren't prepared for. It will come slowly at first, and then wash over us like a tsunami. Some people will be retrained for the new economy, but there simply won't be enough work for the rest of us. What will we do then? What will Trump's immigrants do then? Build the wall, finally? And I have to laugh at his statement of "we're going to make sure they're not murderers and drug dealers". How's he going to do that? We can't even stop the CIA from trafficking drugs and murdering people.

And finally today, perpetual grifter Alex Jones had this image up on his website today. It was part of an article discussing monkeypox, also known as "M-Pox" to the easily offended. Here we have Jones shamelessly perpetuating the myth of viruses, saying Monkeypox will be "the next bio-attack", even though it has never been isolated or proven to exist any more than any other virus has. He (or his staffers) even make the outlandish claim that "monkeypox comes out of the butts of gay men". The claim is made with zero proof, and seems designed to attract viewers at the expense of gay men. Inadvertently or on purpose, Jones is dividing us just as surely as social distancing, masking, and vaxxed/unvaxxed statuses did. For a man who claims to hate the globalists, it's disappointing to see him making their job a little easier. 

Oh, in case you missed it (above), he also said "COVID came out of China". This is more misinformation from Jones and the Infowars staff. It can't be proven that COVID came out of China, because it's never been proven that SARS-CoV-2 actually exists anywhere in the world. Hundreds of FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) requests have found nothing. SARS-CoV-2 exists only as a computer generated model. There is no virus. There was no pandemic. So we can't say that COVID came out of China. To do so is just yellow journalism, a divisive bit of fiction that helps to sell products but gets us no closer to the truth. 

Notes From Clown World: July 30, 2024.

Democrats are nothing if not entirely and predictably on script. A new talking point is created by someone among the party's elite, and the same day other Democrats across the nation will begin parroting that talking point like the reliable Borg drones that they are. I'm not sure who started the most recent one, but this week Democrats began calling Donald Trump and J.D. Vance "weird", and now it's being repeated by people who, in most cases, are much weirder than Trump or Vance could ever hope to be. Kamala Harris has said it, as have Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Senators Brian Schatz of Hawaii and Chris Murphy of Connecticut, and even our favorite super-liberal man-loving Trek star, George Takei. But as the photo above reveals, Takei should probably sit this one out. His behavior is about as weird as anyone can imagine. What exactly is he doing to those men? I can't say, but if it turns out to be something bad, you can bet he'll blame Trump.

In an article that looks like it came straight from the Pentagon, we're warned "U.S. faces most serious threat of major war in 80 years and we aren't prepared: experts". The purpose of the article seems to be to frighten Americans into giving up more of our hard-earned (and rapidly shrinking) money to give to the military industrial complex. But let's examine the bullshit being fed to us. 

The bipartisan Commission on the National Defense Strategy warned we face “the most serious and most challenging” threats in 80 years. The commissioners, who said they were unanimous in their findings, said the U.S. faces “the potential for near-term major war.”

But war with whom? They say threats loom from Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and others. But most of those threats are due to aggressive actions taken by the United States and NATO. Russia entered Ukraine only after years of warnings to NATO that they not push any closer to Moscow. NATO pushed anyway. This gang of war criminals now has military installations all along Russia's western border with missiles within easy reach of Russia's capitol city. The U.S. and NATO provoked the war, and now they make the false claim that Putin wants to invade and conquer all of Europe. It's a complete lie, but it justifies endless spending on weapons, which keeps the military industrial complex and international bankers very happy. What about China? Yes, it's a scary totalitarian nation that treats its people like soulless robots, but it's never been very big on war. Other than invading Tibet several decades ago, China has largely kept to itself militarily. It has expanded its influence through economic development programs, largely in Africa, rather than using the American tactic of bombing nations to steal resources. China would like to bring Taiwan back into the family, claiming the island nation has always been a part of China. But other than Taiwan, which the United States has pledged to protect as a way of poking China in the eye, China has posed no threat to us except economically. And much of the economic advantage they have is thanks to American politicians selling us out through various trade agreements. What about Iran? We're told it's a threat mainly because they stand up to Israeli aggression in the middle east. The U.S. government obeys Israel and supports it in terrorism and war. Israel has admitted they want to annex a huge chunk of the middle east, and Iran stands in the way. So we're fed propaganda that Iran is full of terrorists who hate America because of our "freedom". It's yet another lie to keep the war machine going. In truth, Iran is a target of the Zionists who want to claim it as their own. That, apparently, makes Iran our enemy. Last on the countries named is North Korea. It's no threat to anyone. A nation that lacks food and electricity and equips its soldiers with fake wooden rifles isn't going to start a war. They'll sit there continuing to do what they've always done: fire missiles into the sea, attempt to hack into American computer networks, and counterfeit U.S. dollars. 

The article goes on to say that American military spending is inadequate and that we must increase the budget. It doesn't mention that in 2023, the U.S. military budget accounted for approximately 36% of the world’s total military expenditure. It also doesn't mention that the U.S. military budget is larger than the combined military budgets of the next eight countries: China, India, Japan, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and South Korea. In 2018, the United States spent more on defense than China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India, France, the UK, and Japan combined. But we need to spend more? Where did the money we've already spent go? Are Pentagon officials lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills? Or are they lying about the threats while funding so-called "black" projects, like directed energy weapons powerful enough to set some place on fire...some place like Lahaina, Hawaii, maybe? Or maybe they're funding the next round of bio-weapons disguised as vaccines. Who really knows? 

I do know this: the biggest threats we face come from Washington DC, not Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea. 

Venezuela just held elections, and the results have thrown the nation into turmoil. Both presidential candidates are claiming victory, and accusations of election fraud are being thrown from all sides. 

I'm not terribly concerned, which is the opposite of what the establishment wants. The fact that the CIA-influenced news media wants me to care about Venezuela's election makes me suspicious. Any time a story is shoved down our throats repeatedly by all the corporate news sources, you can bet there's an agenda behind it. Their game works: already on social media I'm seeing people taking sides on an election that they know little about and that has no bearing on their lives whatsoever. Do they know that Maduro's opponent, Edmundo González, was probably funded by the U.S. State Department, which has coveted Venezuela's massive oil reserves for decades? Probably not, but they do know what has been carefully fed to them: that Maduro is a socialist who cheated for the win. But did he cheat, or are we being told he cheated because that's the story the State Dept and the CIA want us to believe? The U.S. government wants their guy to win, even if their guy ends up being the worst dictator the world has ever seen, because they intend to steal all the natural resources Venezuela has...especially the oil. 

Is Maduro a good guy? Probably not. But neither is his opponent. Sometimes there are no good guys. But there is always truth, that elusive thing we should always try to find no matter what we're told to believe by government spooks and media propagandists.

Since today's "Notes From Clown World" was more serious than usual, and since we've just endured a weekend that exposed us to the perversion and degeneracy of the Olympics opening ceremonies, I'm closing today with this barn that I spotted outside Lexington, North Carolina. Even non-Christians should be able to see that the message on the barn is one of hope and faith. And we could all use more of that right about now.
