Hello Crazy World,
On opposite sides of the Tug Fork River lived the Hatfield family and the McCoy family. The Hatfields mainly lived in present-day Mingo County, West Virgina, and the McCoys lived in Pike County, Kentucky. Somewhere in the distance, miles away from either of these families, lived ordinary people. These far-away people were oblivious to the feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys. Many of them could live their entire lives without knowing such a feud existed, but there were travelers. There were people who came through on horse, and they came through on raft. If you settled along the Tug Fork River which created a natural border between West Virginia and Kentucky, you might get sucked into the dispute. You might be forced to pick a side.
Right now, you are in one of four categories. You are a Democrat, Republican, independent, or politically unsure/ indifferent. The Democrats and Republicans have been feuding for a long, long time. It’s possibly to have a rivalry without killing one another. The Lakers have butted heads with the Celtics many, many times. One teams wins a championship, and the other walks away hanging their heads. Egos are bruised, but they get over it. The same with the Yankees and Dodgers. Same with the Steelers and Cowboys. This used to be the case with the Democrats and Republicans. One would win a presidential election, and the other would walk away in sadness, but planning for a victory in four years.
All of that ended.
American politics was once akin to sports. It was civil. There was a winner, and a loser. The winner occupied an office, and the loser walked away and had to figure out something else. The sports analogy is gone. The Hatfields and McCoys analogy is now more accurate. Nobody knows when it got so stupid that they’re trying to jail each other. Somewhere out in the distance, like I mentioned, there are people who grew up far away from the Hatfield/ McCoy fight. That’s me. I’m a true independent, and I can’t understand why politics became so retarded. If I were to meet Greg Gutfeld in some random town, in some hypothetical situation, I’d imagine a coversation would go like this:
“Hey Gutfeld! I saw you on TV defending Trump and Epstein! How could you defend those pedos?”
“Epstein? Pedo?” he would ask. I’m guessing he likes Blue Moon Belgian White, for some reason, and he’s finishing a 22oz glass. “You know who the real pedo is? Jared Fogle! Let’s talk about that guy!”
This is a silly hypothetical because we would never in a million years speak to each other in a bar. And if we did, I doubt it would go like this, but there’s a point here. That’s all Fox News does is deflect. Trump’s on the hot seat? Let’s make a montage of Joe Biden!
In George Orwell’s 1984, there were three categories of people: The Inner Partry ruled everyone; The Outer Party was still important, but they were beholden to the Inner Party; and the Proles were the workers. They were the stupid people who lived in the outskirts. They were clueless of life’s inner workings. In the course of history, the Inner Party and Outer Party flip flop positions. This happens over, and over, and over again. The French, American, Mexican, and Russian Revolutions are a a few examples. The theory, in 1984, was that the flip flopping could come to an end. With the advent of nuclear power and modern technology, one side could win indefinitely.
We’re seeing that today. At the very least, we’re seeing them try.
I was a huge fan of RT America ten years ago. I adored Abby Martin and I watched Breaking the Set on a daily basis. I liked Ameera David as well. Her knowledge of economics was impressive. The same for Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert. Today, in 2025, there’s a disdain for mainstream/corporate/ legacy media. They don’t call it “mainstream” so much anymore because it’s taking a backseat to podcasting. It’s similar to the 1990s when alternative music became mainstream, creating an oxymoron or paradox. Eventually, it came to be known as grunge. I loved the alternative news of ten years ago, though. That was RT, and they had great reporting. Fox News, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, and the other legacy media outlets were financed by the same exact people. Ford, Pepsi, McDonald’s, Microsoft, Walmart, and other corporations paid for advertising on all news channels, and they didn’t care if they spewed liberal or conservative propaganda. All they cared about was that people were watching. RT was a breath of fresh air, though, and they attacked the character of Hillary Clinton. They questioned Republican policies. It didn’t matter who you were. If you were corrupt, they would do a piece on you.
Nine Eleven was a Neocon event which marshalled a soft form of martial law into the United States. The Republicans were the Inner Party, the Democrats the Outer Party, and the Proles were the dipshit masses screaming to get Osama bin Laden. They weren’t “in” on it that he was just a patsy, and the United States created a false flag operation to acquire the minerals aned resources of Afghanistan and Iraq. Afghanistan, by the way, has been the biggest producer of heroin in the world. Ironically, the Taliban had it under control in 2001 when the Twin Towers went down.
Today, I hear people talking about the Ukraine war, but I never hear them mention Victoria Nuland. She started this shit! Ukraine had a stable democracy, and it was operatives of the United States which destabilized it! I was joyful when the Berlin Wall went down in 1989, and the Cold War ended. I was happy when Glastnost and Perestroika were introduced to the West. We lived in good will for many years, then it ended. Ukraine was known as the breadbasket of the USSR a few generations ago. Any American politicians saying they care about democracy out there is a liar. It’s a strategic place. Also, there is something known as the Wolfowitz Doctrine which basically says the United States is required to begin a cultural and economic war against any country who could challenge America’s supremecy. It doesn’t matter if they’re kind to us. Russia was doing a great job, then someone in the Deep State snapped and got paranoid. Neocon Inner Party Republicans sent word to Outer Party Democrats that Vladimir Putin was persona non grata. These dickheads aimed to humilate Russia in the 2014 Winter Olympics. Good will was gone. MK-Ultra was offically ended as a CIA mind-control program in 1973, but the Deep State still had their methods. The Manchurian Candidate was a 1959 book turned into a 1962 (and 2004) movie in which an American president was put on full mind control. In real life in 2016, Deep State operatives had their bases covered. Whether they voted for Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush, it didn’t matter. The Inner Party would get their war against Iran. Wesley Clark came out and said there was a five-year plan to attack seven countries. This included Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, and of course, Iran. Barack Obama started his presidency believing he could maintain his free will, but he succombed to Neocon plans. American people saw through the bullshit, and they refused to elect Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush. What was the alternative, though? Well, there was a vane reality show host who had a load of confidence! His face was butt-ugly, but he thought he looked like Adonis! His language was limited, and his math skills non-existent, but he thought he was as bright as Einstein. His political savvy was raw and crude, but he thought he was better than Washington and Lincoln! America put this queer bait into office because they wanted to step around the Neocon’s bullshit plan.
That was okay, though. One thing Neocons have is time. The Orange Clown who wound up being elected in 2016 was prone to flattery. He’d sell his daughter for a nickel if you told him his shoes looked good. You need to remember that I said the Inner Party and Outer Party flip flop, now and then. It doesn’t always have to be a bloody revolution, though. I can happen because of money, or any number of other situations. The Democrats once were the party of working people, and free speech. They beame a party of liberal elites, and political correctness. The Republicans used to be debonair, elegant, cultured, and sophisticated. They became gun-totin’ foul-mouthed pieces of shits driving large four-by-fours! Don’t forget the oversized flag in the back! Long story short, Barack Obama became a Neocon. He once was a genuine community organizer, but that’s what the System and the Machine does to you! It grinds you up, and if you’re lucky, you wind up like John F Kennedy! You die with your dignity and your dreams!
In Orwell’s 1984, Winston Smith rebelled against his lot as a worker for the Ministry of Truth. He was part of the Outer Party, and he wasn’t satisfied with his occasional Victory Gin as a reward. He wanted more, so he escaped to the land of the Proles. He found romance, and was happy. Unfortunatley, he was captured and institutionalized. He sinned against Big Brother. The price was death, but there was a weird system they used. The guys in charge would not kill you on the spot. They wouldn’t kill you immediately. They would keep you institutionalized until you realized you were wrong. That was important to them. You had to know you were wrong for doing whatever you did. Once you knew you were wrong, then they’d kill you.
So Trump has had ten years to “get it”. He has fought against Big Brother. He has fought against the Deep State. He had wild support of the Proles up until recently. He did not begin in the Inner Party in spite of being born with riches. When he moved to Palm Beach, his neighbors didn’t like him. He put up a huge flag pole with a giant American flag, and it violated civic code. There’s a difference between Old Money, and New Money. Old Money did not like Trump. He was a rebel rouser. He was forced to cut down his pole as a compromise. The path he’s been trying to maintain between the Inner Parety and Proles is impossible to maintain. Eventually, Big Brother will kill you for siding with the Proles, or he’ll take you in behind closed doors and turn you into an Inner Party drone. Big Brother sure the fuck will not let you continue to yap at his ankles like a barking chihuahua, though. You have to make a choice!
The conflict between Barack Obama and Donald Trump is interesting. The Neocons have already taken Barack Obama in. That’s the only way to live a lavish life once you leave the presidency. The Neocons took in Bill Clinton. That’s the only way his foundation made hundreds of millions of dollars, and that’s why he’s buds with George W Bush. By the way, that’s the only way he made it onto Jeffrey Epsteins jet as well. Donald Trump has dipped his toes in the water. He’s not sure if it’s too hot, and he’s trying to resist. He want ahead with the Iran bombings, and he gave that ludicrous tax cut to the billionaires. His toes are saying the water is warm enough to his liking, and he’s putting his foot in. He’s attacking Barack Obama, and threatening to jail him. In a different place, at a different time, this is what the Establisment wants because it’s racist. What he doesn’t realize is that the Establishment needs exceptions to the rule. They have diplomacy with nations around the World, and there needs to be at least a pretense that they’re not all racists! Donald Trump attacking Barack Obama is interesting because I don’t believe he knows what the real rules are. If I asked Alex Jones to explain the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, I think he could give me a fair rundown. Trump? He never cites sources. I don’t believe he’s much of a reader. I think he’s playing with fire.
I mentioned the thing about Epstein, Fogle, and deflection for a reason. It’s like watching a third grader do a complicated multiplication problem at the blackboard for the first time. Trump’s reactions are so psychotically predictable that they’re pathetic. “I’m not the one on hidden DOJ files! Obama’s the one on those files!” It’s pathetic, but it makes me laugh. Kim Iversen posted a video about Russiagate. She had previously been critical of Trump regarding the Epstein Files, and I feared she was pivoting like Pam Bondi. “Nothing to see here,” was the government stance. Her guest, Nebojsa Malic, was a journalist for RT during the DNC and RNC of 2016. He had good information. It seems this latest Russiagate layer might have merit. Jeffrey Epstein was first arrested for sex crimes in 2006. Jared Fogle of Subway was arrested in 2015. When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested aagin for sex crimes in 2019, do you think he cried out, “WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT ABOUT JARED FOGLE!? THAT GUY IS A TOTAL PIECE OF SHIT, AND I’M A WAY BETTER PERSON! I AM A SAINT COMPARED TO THAT PERSON! SO YOU OUGHT TO LET ME GO!” No, it doesn’t work that way. If I get a speeding ticket, I can’t tell the cop about Hunter’s laptop. I can’t mention that Donald Trump refuses to release the Epstein Files. Yeah, it’s interesting to think about how this will play out. Trump is trying to avoid jail by putting a different former president in jail. It’s like dropping a China plate onto a kitchen floor. The American system is broken, and seeing the shards of China on the ground is the same. But in this analogy, someone goes psychotic and starts stomping on the shards until they’re dust …
