And of course it’s a corollary that the stability of all of the power blocks depend upon no one realizing or acknowledging this.In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished.
In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact…” George Orwell, 1984
Is Julia correct? We don’t know and ultimately perhaps it doesn’t matter. Whether the battles are mere narrative or whether real proles are sent to fight each other and die, behind the fabricated concept of conflict there lies an unacknowledged mutual benefit contract –In some ways she was far more acute than Winston, and far less susceptible to Party propaganda. Once when he happened in some connection to mention the war against Eurasia, she startled him by saying casually that in her opinion the war was not happening. The rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, “just to keep people frightened.” This was an idea that had literally never occurred to him.” George Orwell, 1984
Here’s how the AP described the bill, which was titled the “Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act": The United States has never before confiscated the sovereign assets of another nation in the absence of a formally declared war. The asset seizure targeting Russian assets is unprecedented, historic, and utterly new. The risk of wildly unpredictable unanticipated results seems extremely, if not unacceptably, high. So there should have been a lot of public debate before we took this new, historic first step. Corporate media, of course, was utterly useless. The AP’s story failed to note the historic, unprecedented nature of the new law. Congress was worse. |
Now, note that a second under-reported part of the so-called “Ukraine aid” package was a new law allowing Biden to steal TikTok from the Chinese. Twitter sold last year for $45 billion dollars, at a time when it was unprofitable and unpopular. How much is TikTok worth? But the story is even bigger than that. The badly-named TikTok bill actually gives the President authority to ban or force the sale of any foreign-owned technologies, apps, or software — not just China’s, and not just TikTok — whenever the assets pose a risk to national security. And guess who decides whether the foreign asset poses a risk to national security? Biden, himself, and nobody else. Biden, who can’t even read a teleprompter correctly. Do you think he understands high-tech chipmaking. The U.S. has never ever given the President such broad, unilateral authority to ban or force the sale of foreign-owned companies and assets in peacetime, outside of war and a declared national emergency. So — follow me here — while we were all focused on the $61 billion Ukraine aid package, Congress just gave Biden the right to steal all kinds of stuff from other countries, if the U.S. can get its grubby hands on them. These two bills, and the historic new powers vested in the President, are a much bigger story than Ukraine aid, with which we were all distracted by the drama around Speaker Johnson and the freedom caucus. Now, anytime he wants, Biden can threaten any country into doing his bidding, at the risk of seizure of its technology assets. Good luck finding any discussion of these issues in the media. Now let’s look at that second headline. On Tuesday — the same day Biden signed the Ukraine package into law, which included the Russian asset seizure powers — CNBC ran this understated story: “JPMorgan Chase is caught in U.S-Russia sanctions war after overseas court orders $440 million seized from bank.” In short, JPMorgan complied with US sanctions requirements and froze some overseas Russia assets. Those Russian assets are now at risk under Biden’s extraordinary new peacetime powers. Last week, a Russian company sued JPMorgan after JPMorgan smartly announced it intended to immediately pull its assets out of Russia. I presume the Biden Administration had warned the bank. But it was too late. On Tuesday, a Russian court ordered all JPMorgan’s Russian assets, “moveable and immovable,” to be seized. Tit for tat. I know I keep saying it, but we’ve never seen anything like this in modern history. Assuming we don’t blow ourselves to smithereens, or Jesus doesn’t come back first, historians will someday be writing multi-volume sets about 2024. In another sense, none of this is surprising. In my research for this piece, one thing became clear. Only dictatorships and communists have ever nationalized assets in the way the US just authorized. Think Banana Republic. But this move is exactly what you’d expect from a country that just blanketed a presidential candidate with civil and criminal cases. It is a Banana Republic. In a healthy democracy (or even a healthy Democratic Republic), with a functioning media and an active, involved Congress properly overseeing the government, our public officials would be forced to fulsomely explain the rationale for such risky, unprecedented legislation. But … our officials were not forced to do that. So … what type of government do we actually have? For whatever it’s worth, out of curiosity I copied this part of today’s post into Claude AI, posing that final question about what kind of government we have. Its answer was not encouraging: We will explore these developments in more detail soon. But what can I say? It’s 2024. |
...... Interesting what was hidden in the Ukraine aid bill that nobody was talking about.
The US is now allowed to seize Russian state assets. How would that work?
The big U.S. aid package for Ukraine and other allies that President Joe Biden signed Wednesday also allows the administration to seize Russian state assets located in the U.S. and use them for the benefit of Kyiv.apnews.com

Think Elon has put on the small hat 1 to many times. What is he referencing for that?
Think You are being tricked. Just like 6 jan 2021…ppl were tricked into wanting justice so bad would be willing to break the law. I tried warn ppl before that day on telegram and ppl threatened my life. Simply for saying it is a setup recommend you don’t go.
I'm sure there are a lot of people protesting in good faith ..... but I think there are more that are just there to literally drum up chaos. The politicians that are supporting the protests is another tell.Think Elon has put on the small hat 1 to many times. What is he referencing for that?

Soros would benefit greatly if antisemitism laws are pushed and made law. Think about that. He gets protected status. Christie Noem and her group were are waiting for right moment to place it nationwide. Guess what…she might get her wish. Might cover up her supposed affair and get her re-elected. Problem with politicians they have dirt on all of them or they die in weird manner.
Are there instigators no doubt ….. are ppl really protesting - yes no doubt. Most ppl do not like kids being killed and Israel has murdered a lot of kids. Again seriously doubt all of them are paid protestors. Some of them care about humanity and not killing small kids. Back in 2020 Some at the blm protest really cared too. Lot of paid instigators. Same with 6 jan 2021…paid ….instigators I suspect fbi. Some of those informants make well into 6 figures a year.
Right now Ppl are pissed off at all the injustice we have witnessed…. as you have admitted - you are pissed….so any action taken feels good. There in they got us. Ala 6 jan 2021 over again.
It is same emotional roller coaster of control no control. Fake professional wrestling revs ppl up the same way if you fall for it. They been controlling ppl since coliseum in ancient Rome ….. MK Ultra like. We use to rev each other up in military….dehumanize them made easier to end their life…in combat. If you look at them as ppl with family like you then harder pull the trigger.
So Really …. Does it make a shit if they protest on a college campus or not? We could repeat Kent State and mow them down. Colleges are full of radicals been that way for 30-40 + years. I don’t care what they do there. Again am sure any violence are just paid instigators. For instance if not then the crowd would over power these officers and beat-the day lights out of them.
This is a time slice of violence we know not what happened. There is no judgement call. However that big of a crowd could over power those officers if they were so inclined. Again time slice to rouse ppl up. No idea what it is about. I don’t normally watch shit like that. It is missing a lot maybe intentionally.
I think some ppl want to justify the killing of Palestine ppl - kids in Israel and or deny their hand in it.
6 Jan 2021 had lasting effect so … Because we are not protesting our govt they get to do as they please. At least these young ppl whether paid or not are standing up. I think most of them believe ppl in Palestine should not be murdered. I agree. Think it comes to who you stand with.
On the other hand to get Zionist - Antisemitism laws passed they would kill one another for more special treatment and special protection for their ppl. Pedestal even higher for Zionist to walk up tip toe and kiss their ass.
The reason claims are way up for white power supremacy - claims is because that recent Bill ….they passed was suppose to have money in it for dept homeland to give out to jewish churches - synagogues around country …they - jews like ADL had asked for $400 million to add security for themselves. So to Get the money they needed to be victims of hate crimes -….. think they got $1.8 billion of which - $274 million ear marked.

This year, we will provide $274.5 Million in Nonprofit Security Grant Program funds to houses of worship, schools, and other nonprofits to support target hardening and other physical security enhancements for nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist attack. The program will continue to help integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader state and local preparedness efforts. It will also promote collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, as well as state and local government agencies.

Remember this guy? Umbrella man from floyd riots he kicked it off. ….I suspect fbi.
The news media called him every white race - hate group in the book lied said he was arrested over and over. To my knowledge he never got arrested for that. Escaped just like bomber on 6 jan 2021.
Well we know Soros funded and still funds BLM. he is a jew that supposedly survived the holocaust by inventorying other jews things. He is a bad man. Most ppl know that Most of the bad ppl in politics and justice system were bought by him. He is literally a boogie man.I'm sure there are a lot of people protesting in good faith ..... but I think there are more that are just there to literally drum up chaos. The politicians that are supporting the protests is another tell.
They beat their drums and do their chants just like Antifa and BLM.
They somehow all show with the same color identical tents .... someone with deep pockets is orchestrating most of this.
I think Musk is just pointing out the game plan the cultural Marxists normally use ..... Pretend that you are protesting to help the oppressed. How many people still think BLM was a legitimate organization when all they were was a group of Marxists cashing in on a crisis and creating chaos.
The students being harmed by these protests are the wrong target. Why don't they go pitch their tents in DC?
With the evidence that Soros is paying people to do these protests, that reinforces the idea that a LOT of these protests aren't about the plight of the Palestinians ..... either that, or Soros is a Jew, but doesn't give a crap about Israel.Well we know Soros funded and still funds BLM. he is a jew that supposedly survived the holocaust by inventorying other jews things. He is a bad man. Most ppl know that Most of the bad ppl in politics and justice system were bought by him. He is literally a boogie man.
Aenyc did not like me pointing at jews and stated as much then his next post was literally about Soros which is a jew. I give up. Fuck it.
