Nexus X HumectressI don’t really care for the Sinophobia that is constantly coming from the right end of the spectrum, just as I don’t care for the left’s Russophobia. But these places are still just the Eastern wing of global mafia capitalism, so fuck ’em. By putting out questionable guidance […]
When the coronavirus crisis hit Michigan, Gov. Whitmer responded with a mixture of comical ineptitude and weird, arbitrary fascism.
Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano tells ‘Fox & Friends’ that he’s surprised Michiganders did not protest sooner against the state’s stay-at-home order.
Increasingly, the US ruling class is reminding me of the French ruling class prior to 1789 or the Russian ruling class prior to 1918 with their “Let them eat cake!” attitude.
High fever=truth serum, apparently.
I never expected much from Sanders but he keeps getting lamer all the time. Did Ron Paul ever say, “Oh, we gotta vote for McCain or Romney ‘coz Obama is just so bad, man?” Hell, no. I’m glad to see some leftist commentators calling him out on this.
At least the present crisis seems to be awakening a little bit of class consciousness. By Martha Mendoza and Kimberlee Kruesi Associated Press Nurse Mike Gulick was meticulous about not bringing the coronavirus home to his wife and their 2-year-old daughter. He’d stop at a hotel after work […]
As I suspected. By Mike Stobbe Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. tally of coronavirus cases and deaths could soon jump because federal health officials will now count illnesses that are not confirmed by lab testing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told states Tuesday […]

Krystal and Saagar discuss a report from The Intercept that exposes AOC challenger, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera’s campaign finance funds from prominent Wall Street executives, bankers.
Saagar Enjeti discusses the media’s coverups for Joe Biden over Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation and Hunter Biden’s China dealings.
Not bad, Krystal. Not bad.
Two libertarians discuss the case for skepticism about the states actions and motives as well as highlighting the massive social and economic costs associated with this mild to extreme lockdown. What would a libertarian society do for a pandemic? Is this virus worth worrying about considering all the […]
Once again, Donald Trump presents the state as it ought to be presented, as a hybrid of the mafia and a carnival show. By Alistair McGeorge Donald Trump has named Vince McMahon in an advisory group to help reopen the United States economy. The US president announced this […]
I have the unusual distinction of being friends or least (I hope) cordially acquainted with all four of these guys. I commend all of them for being willing to participate in something like this.

Do we really have any idea?
When the actual history of the COVID-19 crisis of 2020 is finally written, I suspect it will show that a lot of what we’ve been told so far was mistaken or outright lies.
Tom Woods has been doing some good coverage of the present state of medical martial law this week. Check out some of these programs along with the comments from his e-newsletter posted below. What the Governors Should Do Now Dissident Virus Voices Is the Coronavirus a Libertarian Moment? […]
I like all of the divisiveness and partisanship we see in politics and the media nowadays. It shows the system is fracturing.
If nothing else, hopefully, the Left will realize they need less wimpy leaders.
Krystal comes pretty close to going full Jimmie Dore in this. Almost, but not quite.
What could possibly be more pathetic? The neoliberal class handpicks a guy who has been a puppet for the banksters for half a century as its anointed candidate. A guy who has a history of being on the wrong side of every important issue for his entire career […]
I’m not a fan of Laura Ingraham, who strikes me as mostly just an Adelson, Inc. mouthpiece, but she’s got a point here.
So Barack is a scumbag who was orchestrating things behind the scenes on behalf of the banksters. Who could’ve guessed? Who needs comedy when you’ve got this stuff?
“Please make me the vice-president!” said Lizzie the Scamster.
I am not someone who embraces the more exotic conspiracy theories about the origins of COVID-19, or the view that coronavirus is really no big deal. Historically, outbreaks of deadly epidemic have been entirely normal, with drastic measures often being required to contain them. During my grandparents’ generation, […]
“I hate agreeing with this dick so often but Gretchen Whitmer is running Michigan like a Third World banana republic. Coronavirus is some serious shit but fascism is way fucking worse and that is exactly what heavy-handed governors like Whitmer are trafficking in. Carlson should talk to the […]
I have to respect Kulinski’s ability to avoid pathological right-wingophobia and the “vote blue, no matter who” nonsense. But, regrettably, most liberals, progressives, leftists, social democrats, socialists, and even many anarchists (shame) will fail to follow his example.
Bernie shows how lame he really is. If the progressives were to start a party of their own, the likely effect would be that the US would have three parties, a social democratic party, a neoliberal party, and a populist-nationalist party. The neocons would probably return to the […]
Luke Ford, Paul Gottfried, and Joseph Cotto discuss what Francois-Noel Babeuf called the “socialism of fools.”
I respect Jim Gray, and “within the system” people like him are necessary, but the problem I have with him is that a former judge is likely to be too much of a system-loyalist for my tastes. For instance, Gray opposes jury nullification, just like when Gary Johnson […]
One of the best things about Trump is that he presents the state as it ought to be presented. When he speaks, he sounds like a mafia boss ordering a hit, which is exactly how the state ought to be portrayed. The chattering class/wine and cheese crowd crapola […]
1981 Academy Award Winner for Best Short Documentary. Profile of Karl Hess – writer, community activist, technologist and all around genius.
By Stefan Gleason, Money Metals Exchange “All of the projection models were wrong. All of them,” admitted New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in an interview last week with MSNBC. Governor Cuomo had been issuing frantic demands for tens of thousands of ventilators… that turned out not to be […]
It’s hardly surprising that Obama would endorse his former VP. But it also shows that Obama is nothing more than an opportunistic careerist and ladder-climber. Certainly, he recognizes that Biden has dementia, early-stage Alzheimer’s, or some other mental defect. The decent thing to do would be to counsel […]
Maybe that’s why Hillary Clinton and Samantha Power hired some Salafi mercenaries to stick a shank up his ass. Maybe he knew too much.
This is actually some pretty good economic commentary. I disagree with bits of this but it’s more than just the standard right-wing rant against “socialism” (although there are elements of that as well). This fellow seems to have a better understanding of the relationship between State and Capital […]
Some good comments from Kim on global house arrest while the ruling class goes looting. “If you’re not ready to die for it, take the word ‘freedom’ out of your vocabulary.” Malcolm X
Back in 1983, Paul Fussell published a classic work that outlined his theory of class stratification in the US. The book discussed not only the socioeconomic positions but also the cultural and lifestyle aspects of different classes. I’ve generally found Fussell’s analysis to be as good as any. […]
Theoretically, both Russia and China (the Eastern wings of the International Five Families) are societies that meet most of the characteristics of what Westerners think of as “fascism.” Both exhibit chauvinistic nationalism, authoritarian statism, “crony capitalism,” wide class divisions, patriarchy, racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia. Neither one is particularly […]
Historically, whenever societies have experienced either an economic downturn or an epidemic of a disease, people have started looking for scapegoats to blame for the problem. In ancient societies, a literal human sacrifice might result. Right now, the US is experiencing both an economic downturn and an epidemic. […]
The upside of the Latin Americanization of the US economy is that it will essentially resolve the immigration debate because no one will want to migrate from Latin America if they are only going to another country with Latin American class structures.
A lot of Republican politicians are going to be moving leftward on economics in the future because many of them represent deep red zones that are in terrible economic condition, which will create conflict between them and the right-wing plutocrats that bankroll the party.
Let’s hope so.
