for anyone interested, john helmer has an interview up with a fellow asking to talk about helmer and who he is – background and etc.. some here might be interested.. youtube video is a little over an hour long..

Boy, that second sentence is 100% accurate. As proof, I present the first sentence. One theory out of a dozen that are conceivable, and you pick the most implausible one and declare it to be the only possibility.

I’m surprised you didn’t choose the space aliens theory: that the U.S. government is protecting mankind from space invaders in motorboats and naturally can’t allow evidence to become public knowledge. That’s a hell of a lot more plausible than Trump ordering the U.S. navy to kill people who work for a U.S. agency he has every legal right to pin open on a dissecting table and examine under a microscope if he was so inclined.

(As an aside, the bizarre symbols that have appeared at the top of the edit window still perform the same functions that they did; “8 o’clock” for italics. I hope b has a way to fix them, after restoring the “search reader responses” capability, of course.)

The major part of “cost” is independent of where they are or what they do.

I think that it is completely credible that Trump is making an effort to curtail drug trafficking in the area around Central America – he likes things that are dramatic and somewhat simplistic, I think. And I do think that the fact that he may be impinging in CIA funding adds to the satisfaction.
He could fine tune the effort by using drones rather than missiles (or whatever). If they were to search the vessel and find that it was carrying substantial quantity of drugs, I would think it would make sense to dispatch them and deliver them home – no need for a trial. Perhaps the regular military is not the best for that job.

NYPD: Raid on Staten Island nets fentanyl, ‘MAGA’-stamped heroin; 4 arrested

Updated: Oct. 29, 2025, 5:50 a.m.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Four people were arrested after the NYPD raided an apartment in Stapleton and seized fentanyl, cocaine, heroin and a fake gun, according to authorities.

Some of the drug-related items were imprinted with the logo “MAGA,” an apparent abbreviation for the “Make America Great Again” political slogan promoted by President Donald Trump, court documents indicate.

Posted by: duck n cover | Dec 8 2025 16:29 utc | 164 I do hope this is sarcasm, that my mention of CIA involvement with drugs and Contras, drugs and Golden Triangle warlords like Khun Sa, and drugs and so-called Northern Alliance warlords in Afghanistan, are understood as refuting the preposterous theory that there is a good side to the CIA, like that working inside Venezuela. I thought I was listing the kinds of crimes the CIA used dope dealing to fund. The logical implication is that the CIA running drug boats out of Venezuela would be to support Maduro. But Trump doesn’t support Maduro, therefore claiming the CIA does, simply to falsely justify murdering Venezuelans in boats, is nuts, as well as evil-minded. (Yes, I do not believe in summary execution as peacetime policy. I even have reservations in actual warfare.)

Posted by: jinn | Dec 8 2025 17:36 utc | 183 When Americans know nothing about Zelinsky but then suddenly think he is a hero standing up to a bully after they see the Zelinsky-Trump-oval-office video that is clearly TDS. When millions of Americans support the arming of Ukraine simply because Trump withheld the arms for a few weeks that’s TDS.

This is not a fact, it’s an excuse. Millions of Americans did not support Zelensky because he couldn’t follow Trump’s orders to indict Biden. Indeed millions of Americans were not avidly in favor of impeaching Trump at all, quite a few favored Trump on this, regarding it as lawfare at worst. The temptation to think it was more a formality, a tempest in a teapot like impeaching Clinton over perjury over a dubious digression in a civil suit from long ago that was never even clear on whether there was a genuine harm done. Fiona Hill and Alexander Vindman were genuinely outraged, and a number of Democrats professed to be, since it was a politically conservative charge I believe. But no, no millions of Americans were deranged in the way you claim. You may retort that I merely remember my personally disdain for the charges. But try as I might I simply cannot remember the groundswell of outrage. When Trump first won the Electoral College, to become president in spite of losing the vote, then there were masses of Americans—complete with their own funny hats!—infuriated. But to insist that only this mythical malady of TDS could explain why people would be pissed that the loser of the vote still becomes president? That is not….generous. The insistence that not supporting Trump is irrational is itself irrational, sorry to tell you.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, you seem to be unaware of my long history here of very heavy criticism of the Outlaw US Empire and its actions. Just the fact that I coined and constantly employ the term Outlaw US Empire ought to provide a clue as to my POV. I did note a rather important typo within this sentence: “The lack of critical long-term planning is the Empire’s weakest point that it seems ideologically incapable of improving.” The emphasis notes what was omitted.

Posted by: karlof1 | Dec 8 2025 21:04 utc | 215

There are two important Russian events to report today. The first is complete, Q&A with Maria Zakharova on Outlaw US Empire’s New Imperial Policy Guidelines. The second is much longer and reports on the 90-minute meeting of the Presidential Council for Strategic Development and National Projects held at the Kremlin earlier today. For those unaware of that aspect of Russia’s economy and governance, here’s a short snapshot by Putin made at the meeting’s start:

National projects are key tools for achieving national goals. To fully launch them, a regulatory framework has been established, funding sources have been identified, and digital monitoring of results has been organized based on assessments by citizens, businesses, and professional communities, as well as sociological surveys conducted on a regular quarterly basis.

19 national projects have been launched and are generally successful. As part of the work to achieve the national development goals, 121 indicators have been set. Unfortunately, seven of these indicators currently have a high risk of non-fulfillment. However, most of the targets for this year have been achieved.

Do take note of who provides assessments of their progress and ask yourself if you have any such opportunity where you reside to do the same or even have such projects to assess.

Back in Nam when was no “neocon CIA”, just the “good CIA”. To pacify South Vietnam they built a PIC (Province Interrogation Centre) in every province of the country.

What kind of good things went on in these places operated by the “good” CIA?

“As for the American role, according to Muldoon, “you can’t have an American there all the time watching these things.” “These things” included: rape, gang rape, rape using eels, snakes, or hard objects, and rape followed by murder; electrical shock (“the Bell Telephone Hour”) rendered by attaching wires to the genitals or other sensitive parts of the body, like the tongue; “the water treatment”; “the airplane,” in which a prisoner’s arms were tied behind the back and the rope looped over a hook on the ceiling, suspending the prisoner in midair, afterwhich he or she was beaten; beatings with rubber hoses and whips; and the use of police dogs to maul prisoners. All this and more occurred in PICs.”
The Phoenix Program: America’s use of terror in Vietnam – Douglas Valentine

“I have described the intelligence service as a socially acceptable way of expressing criminal tendencies,” … “A guy who has strong criminal tendencies — but is too much of a coward to be one — would wind up in a place like the CIA if he had the education.”
Nelson Brickham, CIA officer and designer of The Phoenix Program

Posted by: steven t johnson | Dec 8 2025 20:24 utc | 214

The problem I have with people with TDS is you can’t discuss the topic in any rational way with them. I have friends and family members that are afflicted.
TDS is not a synonym for outraged or infuriated. Those are all rational responses to the myriad of outrageous and infuriating things that Donald Trump does.
What is not irrational is supporting the arming of Ukraine simply because you are pissed off, outraged or infuriated by Trump. In the first impeachment millions of Americans were willing to pretend that arming Ukraine was vital and important to US interests and that Biden’s obvious corruption and senility did not exist simply because those were needed elements to make a case for impeachment. If you make arming Ukraine a bad idea and making Biden as Trump’s rival candidate a stupid idea because he’s both senile and corrupt then the whole case against Trump falls apart. So even now they can’t admit that Biden was a horrible president and providing the arms for the war in Ukraine was utterly stupid.
The Zelinsky in the oval office video is another case in point. Every TDS individual that I know gave no thought to supporting Zelinsky before seeing that video. Now they think he’s a combination of Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln. Only Trump has the power to evoke such irrational responses.

Extremely delusional conspiracy theories – untethered from the real world – generally prevail because not only the conspiracists themselves – who assume they are experts on every topic – but also the viewers refuse to check out the long term facts of the matter. How things really work in the real world. Which almost always 99.99% of the time completely undermines their daft illogical evidence free fact free opinions of what must be happening because their thought bubble told them so.

Let’s see a few basic truths about these “drug boats” US military engagements.

The military chain of command (JAG officers, commanders) works like this: with checks and balances
Every major operation runs through Judge Advocate General (JAG) lawyers. They determine:

Is a target lawful?
Does this strike comply with the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC)?
Does the President’s authority apply?
Is this specific action legal under domestic and international law?

If a President says:

“Venezuela’s fishing boats are now enemy combatants — sink them,”the JAG corps would immediately intervene and either:

validate the strike (if legal under AUMF or Article II), or
declare it unlawful and block the order from reaching operators.

In modern times, almost no lethal operation occurs without JAG sign-off.

Summarizing the core steps and road blocks to “nefarious rogue Black CIA Operatives” cunningly killing other White CIA Operatives on Caribbeans speed boats.
The military legal system (JAG) first — they can block the order immediately.
Service members themselves — if the crime is blatantly obvious, they must refuse.
Courts only review aftermath, not real-time decisions.
The President does NOT have absolute kill authority, but the lack of judicial oversight has allowed very broad lethal powers abroad, especially post-9/11.

Operational / legal review in the military; Every lethal order goes through:
intelligence vetting
JAG lawyers
commander oversight
target validation
If it’s illegal, it gets stopped long before a soldier sees it.

Looked at the Bilibili Top 10 search feed and found news of a 7.5-magnitude earthquake in Japan. Then I went to Baidu and found it among the top 50 searched items.
日本附近海域发生7.5级地震 (A magnitude 7.5 earthquake occurred in the waters near Japan.)
One portion of the netizenry sees this and any potential casualties as a good thing – some wish the magnitude were even higher, while others call it divine retribution for Japan’s crimes against China*. It’s to be expected at this point given current tensions, but also says a lot about said netizens and the different flavors of nationalism they hold.
(* and by that logic, this would’ve affected the generation of those directly involved, and not the later generations who didn’t have a say under US occupation. But then I remember: China is not a Christian country, so…)

Posted by: james | Dec 8 2025 16:22 utc | 162

Your opinion is as valid as anyone’s james but to me it signals overt Denial.

The Emotional Dysregulation Is Hidden Behind A Fake Moral Certainty
Inside them is shame or fear, but outwardly you see:
Righteous certainty
Tone-policing others
Claims of “just stating facts” while being blatantly hostile
Sudden explosive reactions to minor disagreement
They often don’t feel their dysregulation — they mask it with illegitimate moral superiority.
These are the kinds of behaviours that show up online when someone is acting in a pathological, entitled, or personality-disordered way.

It’s not the bully that causes the worst damage — it’s the “normal” people and the “moderator” who freeze, appease, or side with the bully and the vile anti-social abusers, that so many deny even exist.

It works like this – Entitlement + Special Rules for Themselves
These people operate by an internal rulebook that says:

“I’m allowed to do what others can’t.”
“My feelings matter; yours don’t.”
“I get exemptions; you get consequences.”

So they:

Break forum rules but demand others follow them.
Expect moderators to protect their comfort while they disrespect others.
React with outrage when anyone challenges them, even politely.

This is the core engine: grandiose entitlement + lack of reciprocal norms.

Works every time.

MoA is what it has always been: 20–30 regulars; a few sharp thinkers (who come for a while but rarely stay long) ; and a handful of reflexive, brittle voices who respond to narrative threat, not information. The non-stop concern trolls who attack everyone new with a different idea and far more credible resources to evidence based true knowledge

Added to them are everyday people interested in the topic in their hundreds who drop in for a time and then disappear just as fast. Some are more resilient and keep trying to break through for years but they all eventually give up too. A majority of them become permanently banned for not toeing the ideologically grounded conspiratorial disordered norms and for standing up to the non-stop abuse of the regulars who get a free pass.

back to what i was suggesting.. over the years i have found i listen to those who are respectful of others.. when that is missing, it is my inclination to pass over and not make friends with these same folks.. but that’s me.. i don’t have to tell them any of this.. i think life in person works the same way.. i don’t make exceptions for poor behaviour based on this being some medium where i can say whatever i want and trash whoever i feel like.. that said, i ain’t perfect and will say something stupid from time to time… happy trails..

There’s an old line: you’re known by the company you keep.
That’s really the only point I’m making.

When people consistently engage warmly with posters who are openly abusive or bigoted, it creates a clear gap between the “tolerant, thoughtful community” they describe and the behaviour they actually participate in — or silently support.

I’m not judging anyone; I’m just pointing out that mismatch.
From outside the circle, it’s very noticeable even if it doesn’t feel that way from within. That outside perspective makes the credibility gap hard to miss.

It’s widely recognised and very visible from the outside. It’s still a free thinking world there too.

Do they do different things differently for concurrent reasons? Do they collaborate or team up on certain operations? Is there any meaningful difference between the British, Israeli, and American Deep States?

In Canada , we really have only one party — rhetorical distinctions of `left’ and `right’ notwithstanding. Hence the nuance of a Parliament giving two standing ovations to a Galician Waffen S.S. vet.

Only vestiges of the `left’ in Canada remain in certain `public’ institutions’ such as Universal Health Care — and the media will make a big fuss signifying planned defeat in their defense of that. What matters now is JOINT STRIKE FIGHTERS and SUBMARINES for some inscrutable purpose.

I’m no expert on the topic, but the Japanese killed a lot of Chinese, kidnapped and enslaved many Chinese women.

To put it mildly, they were not good people. IMO, they sorta have a debt to China that they may never be able to repay.

Following up, I know a little about Japan, mostly because I went through a right-wing fascist phase a long time ago, reading Mushima.

The Japanese had a broken and isolationist culture rooted in Supremacy, like the Americans and Europeans have.

That is what made them such well-suited allies to the Nazis in WW2. They both were into eugenics and ethnic cleansing.

The American humiliation bases today are a weird sort of poetic justice. It sucks when the supreme people get conquered by another supreme people.

IMO, the same thing has happened in Germany and Italy.

Sadly, none of them learned the lesson that the answer is more humanity, not more death and division. That we’re all the same biologically and that, as a species, there is strength in numbers and cooperation.

Which brings us to how all of the losers of WW2 are big supporters of Israel and genocide.

Re: CIA

in the late 1970s I took a couple of classes taught by Ted Shackely . Shackely was the sadest dweeb one could imagine. An utter lightweight – I recall one of my buddies whispering to me as we walked out of one memorable lecture ‘No wonder we lost the Vietnam War with clowns like him leading the charge’ . His background:

In the early 1960s, Shackley’s work included being station chief in Miami, during the period of the Cuban Missile Crisis, as well as the Cuban Project(also known as Operation Mongoose), which he directed. He was also said to be the director of the “Phoenix Program” during the Vietnam War, as well as the CIA station chief in Laos between 1966 and 1968, and Saigon station chief from 1968 through February 1972. In 1976, he was appointed Associate Deputy Director for Operations, second in charge of CIA covert operations.[2]

Finally found a reasonable explanation of the Baltic Countrie’s hostility toward Russia.

Yes, the Baltic states remain politically defined by Russophobia. That will endure until they fundamentally rethink their identity, an unlikely event for small frontier nations whose geography eternally places them in Russia’s shadow. Their economies and security depend on exploiting their image as Europe’s guardians against the “Russian threat.” They learned to monetize proximity long before they learned to govern themselves.
The modern version is not an invention of Kaja Kallas, nor of her father Siim, a Soviet-era Communist Party functionary turned liberal statesman. The original authors were the Livonian Knights, who ruled these territories half a millennium ago. Those medieval nobles feared deployment to the Ottoman frontier, so they conjured their own existential threat – “barbarians from the East” – and presented Russians as interchangeable with Turks. Western Europe, then as now poorly informed about Russia, embraced the idea because it suited existing anxieties.
The tactic worked. By the late 17th century, suspicion of Russia had taken root among Europe’s leading courts. France was first to institutionalize it. Louis XIV viewed Peter the Great’s

A couple of useful links today. First, from Michael Roberts Stagflation and the K-shaped economy – Michael Roberts Blog I’m sorry (not really, I confess, but I do want to be polite) so fair warning. Despite the useful data below, he starts off with this:

The Financial Times points out that, on the campaign trail last year, Donald Trump vowed to “immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One”. Yet, since his return to the White House in January, inflation has remained elevated. As a result, Trump’s approval rating has slipped, weighed down by concerns over the cost of living. However, last Wednesday, he claimed America’s cost of living worries are a “con job” and a “hoax” perpetuated by Democrats.

Roberts’ citation of data from one Corbin Trent on inflation is of particular interest I think. In a discussion prompted partly by the question of why Biden was so virulently criticized for inflation, I offered three points. First, economic statistics are statistics for the bourgeoisie, what is useful for them, their statistics. They don’t give an honest look at the situation of the working masses. Second, Biden ended the massive aid programs delivered to people at large (not just businesses and banks) as quickly as possible. Cutting benefits doesn’t make friends with those targeted. And thirsd, yes there can actually be a media campaign aimed against a sitting president. Trump always had huge support among the bourgeois MSM, and Biden had none after losing Afghanistan. That I think is why so far the inflation blame game isn’t getting the traction it did under Biden, at least not yet, however much Democrats want to give back.

The other is from Naked Capitalism Steve Keen Warns Crash of 2026 Will Be Worse Than 2008 | naked capitalism

In addition, Keen warns, following Minsky and originally Irving Fisher, that debt deflation is what does real damage in recessions and if not arrested, causes depressions. Japan’s now lost three decades is an example of a very attenuated unwind of a massive private debt binge. Japan has been in borderline deflation this entire time.
China is now in deflation. It is also exporting deflation, witness Thailand now experiencing eight months of deflation.
Deflation (falling prices) is not the same as disinflation (a decline in the rate of price increases). Deflation is destructive. The cost of debt rises in real terms in deflation, so bankruptcies and defaults rise. Because wages are sticky, workers are typically fired rather than having lower pay forced on them, which accelerates the economic downdraft. Due to conditions being poor, plus prices being on the decline, consumers tend to hold off on spending, exacerbating the depression.

Given the tendency of conservatives to worship hard money and imagine inflation is the greatest evil ever, no doubt this is provocative. But that I think makes the perspective even more useful. I will say I think both Keen and Smith do basically believe capitalism is the final society, even if some reforms are needed. And I rather suspect both actually believe PRC is just another capitalist country, really, in the final analysis. I doubt Xi is the kind of dictator they seem to be presuming either, so their thoughts on some of his possibly capitalist road ideology are not so cogent as they may believe? But the basic principle, that the capitalist sphere of the PRC is also part of the capitalist world economy, a big part of it, and therefore no more immune to the irrationalities of a capitalist system than any other nation, is valid. A permanent commitment to a market system (socialist or not) may founder on the problem that capitalism, market in labor and capital and land deciding everything, is a system in secular decline. Holding fast to capitalism is like hitching your wagon to a falling star, I suggest.

“mad dog support for Biden during Trump’s first term” is a good way to describe it, but that mad dog support was nonexistent before it became a crucial element of the Trump impeachment.

Biden was not a very viable candidate before Trump’s famous phone call with Zelinsky. It was well understood that Biden was both senile and corrupt. He had already been passed up as a viable candidate for prez once in 2016 and wasn’t getting any younger, and that was before the senility and corruption had become obvious. After Trump was charged with abuse of power by trying to knock out his political opponent with the help of a foreign govt. suddenly the mad dog support for Biden began. Its a combination of Biden needed to be Trump’s opponent for the charges to work and the fact that Biden was the one Democratic candidate that Trump had singled out to attack. Trump’s smart enough to not attack Sanders because that would have greatly enhanced Sanders popularity with Trump haters. It wasn’t until 5 years later in July 2024 that the Trump haters stopped the deranged denial and had to accept that Biden was a basket case. Finally they had to acknowledge what any rational person could see all along.

Its the same with Ukraine in order to get the 10s of millions of Trump haters to support arming Ukraine all you have to do is get them to believe Trump is against it. If Trump’s against it they’re for it. That’s not rational.
I think they are trying the same in Europe. In order to get more support for the Ukraine war by Europeans its important to get them to believe Trump’s against it. Europe is full of Trump haters and the hope is they too will support the war just to spite Trump.
