“Steve and Joe were at the bar one night when things became heated between them, as they often do. ‘Oh no, not again with you two,’ yelled the bartender when a stool got knocked over. ‘Take it outside!’ The two men took their exit accompanied by other patrons. Steve looked at a third man named Bill, then threw a punch at Joe. Before Joe could strike back, Bill snuck up behind him and pinned his arms to his side with a bear hug. Onlookers yelled out in protest as Steve punched Joe in the face while he struggled to free himself from Bill’s grasp. ‘Why are you yelling at me??’ said Bill. ‘This is a defensive maneuver. I’m helping to defend Steve from getting punched by Joe.'” (09/25/21)

“The FBI has launched an investigation into a Missouri police department after viral video surfaced showing a detained black man repeatedly being bitten by a police dog. The disturbing footage shows the suspect with his hands on a squad car when the canine is released and begins biting his foot Monday in the St. Louis County city of Woodson Terrace. After several seconds, two officers take the man to the ground, with the dog still chomping on his right foot, the clip shows. The man then tries to stand up but is taken down by the dog again. The cops then appear to handcuff the suspect.” [editor’s note: Maybe four miles from my old home; unsurprising police behavior for that area, as I recall – TLK] (09/26/21)

“I never buy newspapers, and I seldom look at them. But I did make a point of observing the collective blast of hot air from the political and media establishments when news was released of our latest entanglement with the Americans. Since we are a power of no standing outside our own territorial waters — hardly that, looking at the daily arrivals in Dover — there is nothing we can do to protect the Australians. In return for the pretence that we can, we have been signed up to an agreement that amounts to a declaration of war on China, effective on American demand.” (09/26/21)

“It’s something that most involved in cryptocurrency are aware of — the exponentially quickening global move toward nation-states adopting central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). However, there are many individuals in mainstream culture that have no idea just how far this technology has progressed, or just how devious the agenda behind it is. Even some in agorist circles may be unaware of the shocking degree to which private finance is being denigrated and destroyed, and a surveillance-based, violent, globalist economic panopticon ushered in.” (09/25/21)

“President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said Turkey would consider buying a new batch of Russian missile systems despite U.S. opposition. In an interview with American broadcaster CBS News, Erdogan said Turkey would make its own choices on its defense systems. The president explained that Turkey wasn’t given the option to buy American-made Patriot missiles and that the U.S. had not delivered F-35 stealth fighter jets despite a payment of $1.4 billion. … Turkey’s initial purchase of S-400s from Russia strained ties with the United States. The move prompted Washington to remove Turkey from the new generation F-35 Lightning II jet program. The U.S. had also threatened to impose new sanctions if Turkey buys more major arms systems from Moscow.” (09/26/21)

“Americans, even jaded ones like me, often make the mistake of defining the politics of the day by whatever asshole happens to be sitting in the Oval Office. But that’s not how this country really works. America has never really been a democracy. Every four years we vote for another sock puppet to run the PR campaign, but it’s always the same revolving door of generals, lobbyists, and deep state hacks running the show behind the curtain. The rhetoric may change but the motives remain the same.” (09/26/21)

“So, what a great time to be a Democrat. Because, for Democrats, anybody can grow up to be president. And I mean anybody. You can break any law you want, and it doesn’t matter. As long as you separate your recyclables and use the correct pronouns, you’re good to go. First, there’s Joe. After years of hearing about Trump’s taxes, it turns out it’s Joe who’s soaking the IRS. So in addition to the $7 trillion in debt he just saddled your grandkids with, turns out sleepy Joe might owe five hundred large. Who knew that falling asleep in your soup, forgetting the names of foreign heads of state, and smelling the hair of oval office visitors weren’t all tax-deductible?” (09/24/21)

“From the early 1990s onward, I was exposing FBI crimes, lies, and cover-ups. FBI director Louis Freeh publicly denounced me after I wrote a Wall Street Journal piece on the FBI’s killing of an innocent mother holding her baby at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. I continued hammering FBI abuses in the Journal, Playboy, American Spectator, and other publications. … In August 2001, I took a brief vacation in the mountains of western North Carolina. … People in Washington think I’m a redneck, and rednecks think I’m an undercover fed. I can’t get a break.” (09/25/21)
