100+ countries are ditching the dollar. Lula was at the opening of a new BRICS banking system led by ousted Brazilian prez Dilma. The world is in flux, and I see the new order as a blessing...although the US will eventually pay the price.

Thanks for the EB's js, and hope you enjoyed your days off from the news!

As an aside:

YouTube seems to be playing games. When I went to youtube and did a search for the judge's videos I only got a short version of the above video. I was only able to access by visiting the judges twitter account to get access to the full version.

thanks for the video! i've been noticing that my youtube feed has gone a little weird, too. jimmy dore's videos often don't show up in my feed for a day or two after they post on his page. i've found that if you want to make sure that you get all of somebody's content you need to visit their channel and click on the video page.

for napolitano, the link would be this one: https://www.youtube.com/@judgenapolitano-judgingfre7226/videos

for longer stuff there's also another page with longer vids: https://www.youtube.com/@judgenapolitano-judgingfre7226/streams

I am not religious but I don't think that these type of actions will play well with those who are.

He has a funny hit piece on MoA and b and thinks he’s really from Alabama.

Who or What Is ‘Moon of Alabama’? And Why Is He Trying to Lynch Evan Gershkovich?

Is Evan Gershkovich, the Wall Street Journal reporter arrested by the Russians last week, actually a spy?

Some people — even in the United States — think so. Personally, I believe that to state as much is extremely reckless and endangers journalists everywhere. But beyond that, it is a symptom of a disease that is afflicting a small but seemingly growing element of the American Left.

They have a propensity to always ascribe sinister motives to the US “establishment” (including journalists) — while extending a breathtaking degree of trust to anyone on the other side, including dictators and mass oppressors of all stripes.

Look, we’ve all witnessed the history of American wrongdoing, and we all get it: The US has done plenty of terrible stuff. And almost certainly is still doing some. But to insist that nothing ever changes — that some permanent cabal will continue to decide everything all the time with the most malevolent of intents, with no one able to stop it — bespeaks a kind of madness, caused by a rigor mortis of the mind.

The thing that strikes me about the cabal is that some see it as all-powerful, calling all the shots with precision, but somehow also feckless and incompetent. It’s hard enough to govern a small town or run a mom-and-pop business, yet these folks think the cabal is capable of running everything in the world, all nicely coordinated, in furtherance of some nefarious vision

…..

I want to take a look here at this blog, and the phenomenon of which it is a part. Although it’s a mere blip in the media landscape, I believe it offers insight into a growing sickness and darkness in this country — one of a number of dysfunctional subsets of our society which range from the MAGA people to the anti-vaxxers.

Moon of Alabama

The blogger I want to look at prefers to remain anonymous (though seems to be a he), and goes by the moniker “Moon of Alabama.” He constantly imputes sinister motives to any foreigners taking things into their own hands to stand up to oppression. Thus, Ukrainians are US puppets. Iranians rejecting subservience to mullahs and the forced wearing of headscarves are US provocateurs. Taiwan has no legitimate reason to exist, and the US has no reason to defend this democracy against a giant dictatorship. And so forth.
….
As for Moon Of Alabama, instead of giving naive readers the impression he has information or insights he doesn’t, that maybe he is in Alabama or elsewhere in the “heartland,” at least he might come up with a moniker that accurately conveys his brand.

Like “Moon Over Moscow” or “Mooning Washington.”

Indeed, in one exchange (not on his own site), Moon sneered at those trying to discover his identity, and claimed that he is not American.

Should anyone learn who or what the blogger behind the Moon mask answers to, please let us know. Then again, maybe it’s not a conspiracy, just a sad, deluded soul.

Lol…Russ should take a look at DK one of the original anti war websites who describe themselves as on the left. Anyone who tries to bring some truth about Ukraine is dawg piled and insulted as a Putin lover or worse. And now the anti capital punishment folks have not only been cheering at the long prison sentences for the j-6 folks, but want severe punishment for the guy just arrested for leaking the information. Capital punishment is okay for him because he’s probably a Trumper.

I looked at some of his other work and anyone who disagrees with him is a troll or didn’t read what he wrote and are just poopy pants people living in their moms basement.

If you don’t remember what he used to write about he wrote the Bush family of secrets and here is his Wikipedia page.

@snoopydawg

you'd think that if a journalist was going to slime somebody, they would do enough research to get basic facts straight. i guess facts aren't all they're cracked up to be anymore and one can't put too many facts in a report.

@snoopydawg I read MOA regularly. Have for several years. This Russ Baker snooping around the blog and b makes me anxious. He grossly misstates b.’s comments. He may, however, get a real smear campaign going against MOA. Loss of access to MOA is unthinkable.

@Will Rogers Guthrie

and wondering if he was either getting pressure from the PTB in his country or looking at what Andrei from the Saker has done by closing down his blog.

Plus 2 journalists in Europe are being threatened with jail time and I think one is in Germany. Baker has had his own blog for some time, but lots of corporate media stooges are writing about substack and its freedom of speech too. I wonder what the restrictions act will do to substack and blogs like b's. Sadly it looks like we are returning to the time of Wilson when he went after anyone critical of America.

From the article:

Russia or pro-Russian elements are likely behind the leak of several classified U.S. military documents posted on social media that offer a partial, month-old snapshot of the war in Ukraine, three U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday, while the Justice Department said separately it was probing the leak.

The documents appear to have been altered to lower the number of casualties suffered by Russian forces, the U.S. officials said, adding their assessments were informal and separate from the investigation into the leak itself.

The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the matter and declined to discuss the documents in any detail.

lol wasn’t that one of the biggest complaints about Hersh and his essay on how Biden blew up nordstream? And weren’t we exposed to unnamed sources for every article saying that Trump colluded with Putin to deny HerHeinous the coronation she thought she so richly deserved?

The Eric C guy got to be a protected whistleblower at the time that Julian was being dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy. Boy if that wasn’t a lesson in hypocrisy I don’t know what would be.

I guess the only thing taught in journalism school is stenography.

Hi all, Hey Joe!

Great to see you get a week off! And with a concert! A couple of my friends that saw him back right after he left Yes, still rant and rave about the Wakeman shows. You must be livin' right. Smile

Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels were great. Everyone I ever met from DTW was nuts about 'em. Always had great lead guitar fills. Just quick short ones, but concise and cutting. Later Steve Hunter was in the band, until Lou Reed pirated him away... after hearing their version of Lou's own penned Rock & Roll Music... which then worked out great if you ever heard Sweet Jane.

That Chick Willis was great too, as was bro Chuck. That was awesome stuff too.

Thanks for the great soundscapes! Have a great weekend!

Have good ones all!

@humphrey  
From Germany, the Twitter account is blocked and one sees the following message:

@apocalypseos's account has been withheld in Germany based on local law(s).

The E.U. is not a democracy. Freedom of speech, press, and exchange of information are not actually viewed as rights by the ruling elites, but rather merely aa privileges that can be withdrawn at any time by The Powers That Be.

Germany is not a democracy, but an E.U. / NATO / U.S.-occupied vassal state.

I read Family of Secrets back in the day. As a fully indoctrinated liberal Dem, I loved it, and actually went to his book signing and presentation in Seattle. As with a couple of the election integrity blogs I followed (which always strenuously maintained that this was a non-partisan issue), I was subsequently appalled as I read his later writings and realized that he was a total partisan hack.

@Bring Back Civics

I was subsequently appalled as I read his later writings and realized that he was a total partisan hack.

I breathlessly waited every night for Keith and Rachel to wind me up about the outrageous news of Bush/Cheney and thinking that just because they were talking about their crimes that something would be done about it by the agencies that had the power to do something. But they both went silent when Obama carried on with the same crimes that Bush had done.

I refused to pay attention to the daily 2 minutes of hate against Trump because nothing happened to Bush except I had gotten outraged and then Obama said that we should just look forward on torture and other crimes against humanity that he committed while he continued them. Rachel repeated her shtick with Trump, but now that Biden is continuing what he did she has ended her show.

It’s no wonder that every president since Bush has carried on with what their predecessors have done because after Trump pulled Brennan and Albright's security clearances we found out that every new Secretary of State meets with the previous ones that are still living to make sure that they are carrying on with the plans made decades ago. One reason they got rid of Trump was because occasionally he spilled the beans on the goals of the deep state.

Well, good on us for escaping our partisan mental chains and trying to see the world objectively. I appreciate that in your contributions here.
