Stop Making Trouble!

https://dailyreckoning.com/stop-making-trouble/

If you think about it at all, can you come up with any good reasons
why our country has involved itself in the Ukraine war?

To defend democracy, many say?

An emptier platitude does not exist in the vast slippery lexicon of spin.

To thwart Russia’s imperial overreach?

You apparently have no clue about Ukraine’s history, ancient or modern.

To incite an overthrow of the wicked Putin by his own people?

The Russian president is more popular there now than even John F.
Kennedy was here in 1962.

Oh, I know, I’m just parroting Russian propaganda by saying that.
Isn’t that what they always say when you confront them with an
uncomfortable truth about the war in Ukraine?

Meanwhile, Western “intelligence” sources and their mainstream media
mouthpieces have been saying for about a year now that Russia was
running out of ammunition. Well, they still have plenty of it, as the
Ukrainians can painfully attest.

It’s actually the Ukrainians who are running out of ammo, which is why
the U.S. and its NATO allies are looking under the couch cushions for
any spare ammo they can find to send them.
Two Reasons, Both Bad

There actually are no good reasons for what we are doing in Ukraine,
only bad reasons.

Mainly, stoking the war there diverts Americans’ attention from our
own problems, which is to say the titanic failures of America’s
political establishment.

The USA is falling apart from a combination of mismanagement, malice
and negligence.

Our economy is a tottering scaffold of Ponzi schemes. Our institutions
are wrecked. The government lies about everything it does. The news
industry ratifies all the lying. Our schoolchildren can’t read or add
up a column of numbers. Our food is slow-acting poison. Our
medical-pharma matrix has just completed the systematic murder and
maiming of millions. Our culture has been reduced to a drag queen
twerk-fest. Our once-beautiful New World landscape is a demolition
derby.

Name something that hasn’t been debauched, perverted, degenerated or
flat-out destroyed.

And so the “Joe Biden” show is busy ginning up nuclear war hysteria
because that’s all it has left for manipulating public emotion. The
COVID-19 derangement lost its mojo in 2022 and the population has only
just begun to grok the all-causes death disaster underway courtesy of
Pfizer and Moderna (and the CDC with the FDA).
Do It for the Children

Did you notice, by the way, that the CDC just added those unapproved,
still-experimental shots to the childhood vaccine schedule, considered
official “guidance” that is followed by virtually every school system
in America. Rochelle Walensky did that despite massive evidence that
the “vaccines” damage children’s hearts, nervous systems, reproductive
systems and immune systems.

Do you know why Ms. Walensky did that? Because adding the mRNA shots
to the childhood schedule supposedly confers permanent immunity from
legal liability for the drug companies, even after the current
emergency use authorization (EUA) runs out.

The catch to that cozy arrangement is if there is any fraud committed
on the public in the release and administration of those products, the
companies lose their immunity and can be sued until there is nothing
left of them but the paper clips. Plus, the executives may be liable
for criminal prosecution. Hard time.

One Brook Jackson, a technician involved in the sketchy Pfizer drug
trials, and who directly witnessed the procedural violations as they
occurred, is currently suing Pfizer under the False Claims Act (31
U.S. Code § 3729) saying that the company defrauded the government.

Pfizer’s lawyers have asked the judge to dismiss the case on the
grounds, they said in court, that “We did not defraud the government.
We delivered the fraud that the government ordered.”  So now millions
of schoolchildren in this land will be subject to compulsory harmful
mRNA shots in order to cover the Pharma companies’ multibillion-dollar
rear ends. Doesn’t that sum up our national predicament nicely? Way to
go, Rochelle. Don’t think nobody noticed.
Something to Ponder

It’s also worth pondering whether we are neck-deep in the Ukraine
morass because Volodymyr Zelensky is blackmailing “Joe Biden” over the
mysterious Biden family business operations that took place there
directly following the U.S.-orchestrated Maidan revolution that
overthrew Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014.

Remember “The Big Guy’s” earnest efforts to get rid of the Ukrainian
state prosecutor who was looking into the affairs of the Burisma gas
company that invited Hunter Biden and his associate Devon Archer onto
the board of directors?

Of all people in Western Civ… these two Americans… with no knowledge
of or experience in the natgas industry. Weird, a little bit. Do you
suppose Mr. Zelenskyy still has the prosecutor’s files in his
possession?

I’m just throwing that out there. I have no idea, but it’s good to
think outside the proverbial box. The mainstream media certainly
don’t.
Complete Media Silence

Then, of course, there is the bizarre matter of the Nord Stream
pipelines caper, lately disclosed by the scrupulous reporter Seymour
Hersh as a U.S. naval operation. We blew them up. Four EU member
nations (also U.S. NATO allies) held a combined half-ownership in the
pipelines (the other half held by Russia).

European industry and households depended on a steady supply of that
reasonably priced gas to continue modern life there. Both President
“Joe Biden” and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs
Victoria Nuland promised the news media (and the American public) that
the pipeline would “be no more” if a Russian military operation
crossed into the Donbas.

Well, sonofagun, the pipelines were “no more” as of last September. Of
course, the mainstream media have completely ignored this story. If
that doesn’t tell you about the state of modern journalism, I don’t
know what will.

Was that an injury to Russia? Well, yes, though Russia has found
workarounds for selling its natgas elsewhere than northern Europe. Do
you realize, though, that it was every bit as much an act of war
against our supposed allies?

None of the NATO countries with a stake in the North Streams have made
a peep so far about the shocking disclosure. Which may lead a casual
observer to ask whether Western Civ has gone plumb insane. Maybe so,
in which case perhaps it deserves to suffer.

After a while — not such a long while, either — modern life will be
but a memory in northern Europe.
No More NATO?

Somehow the specter of unintended consequences looms over all this
mischief. My guess is we just haven’t seen them yet… and when we do,
they will be ferocious. For starters, NATO will be another thing that
is no more.

And our country will have to go about our blustering war-hawkery
without any back-up or convenient staging areas for fomenting more
shenanigans in a faraway region where we have no real national
interest, just a certain zeal for creating unnecessary trouble and
hardship in a world that already has more than it requires.

Remember what his old boss, Barack Obama, said about the former veep:
“You can never overstate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.” What a
prophet that man is!

Under “Joe Biden,” the USA has been slip-sliding sideways and
backwards into a realm of darkness unimaginable a few years ago. And
he’s had plenty of help from establishment Republicans, so this isn’t
an entirely partisan affair.

But now, something is heaving through the public sensibility, as
spring marches north in America. It feels like a sharp change in
attitude, a refusal to continue acting like a reality-optional
society. It’s crackling through the air like a rumor of liberation in
a hostage crisis.

Can you hear it?
