Other issues:
Ukraine:
Russia has declared that it has no interest to go to war in Ukraine.
Meanwhile the U.S. is spewing out obvious bullshit about a Russian war on Ukraine.

Remember kids: false flags are crazy conspiracy theories that only ridiculous crackpots believe in, except when they're reported as fact in anonymously-sourced stories by news outlets who've lied to you about every war.
Repeating myself here but I expect an Ukrainian military operation against the Donbas rebels starting of February 3/4 when Putin is on his way to Beijing. Russia will watch a day or two to let everyone recognize the Ukrainian attack for what it is. It will then unleash its air force and artillery to destroy the Ukrainian military. It will be over in less than a week.

Fascinating.

James sorry I missed your music performance. I couldn't make it. When's the next one?
I'd love your opinion on some of this.

Thanks for the various replies on my CIA mafiaso control of the politicians rather than the opposite as is always claimed. The Clintons story. I was hoping for a widening of the subject rather than constraining back to a ever decreasing spiral back to Reps/Dems !
The whole point is about how they are joined at the hip at the skeletal levels.
My focus on the Clinton’s is about how there’s no uncontrolled, unbribable, unblackmailable or for the Imperial dreamers - scions of their newfound and ancient dynasties leadership allowed in the ‘West’ that we live in. There is no free press now and No independent Academia and Historians.
Instead i mostly get a response that it was something to do with Reagan or Hillary was only accidentally involved with Bill.
What I am trying to get us to acknowledge is that US history didn’t start with Vietnam, WW2, Morrow doctrine, Civil War or even the ‘Revolution’ by English Aristo slave owners and their backers against their German King, who they didn’t like having control of the Crown, and the greater control he was bringing over their Grand Designs.
History , European anyway is taught as leaps from Greek (ancient ) to relatively modern (Roman) than leap frogs via Vikings to the creation of the Westphalian nation states and the associated National Banks which were never owned by the newly created nations...
When The Romans first coalesced into a fighting force - it was because it’s soldiers were paid regularly and hence they were able to conquer.
When Augustus and Caesar and a few others later rose to the top , it was equally through being able to raise armies that could march into Rome and take control.
None of which could have happened without the ‘loans’ of silver that these soldiers were paid with.
And the eternal praetorian who are the violent thugs who install and protect the Caesars.
And pull the strings of all the rest.
It is not a secret even if it may be a taboo.
It is also an answer to the arranged marriage that Clinton junior had and the babies that will somehow allow them access to the Top Table forever for services rendered.
In the U.K. our last actual PM in office that was not wholly in the pockets of these thugs was Harold Wilson in the early 70’s. - the modern project could not proceed until he was removed. By hook or crook. There was even a coup planned and ready to activate.
The world is connected you banal evil and Money and the forever Masters who can dangle their meat politicians and their petty dynasties like meat puppets in front of the masses.
Because that is the only thing they fear - the insurmountable numbers who could not be stopped because not enough bullets and guns and soldiers who would fire them exist.
That is what I am suggesting we should be striving to rigorously understand.
