Folks, we are back to Dreizin Report “regular programming”—for today, at least!
At bottom, is what I feel to be the ***ABSOLUTE BEST*** Dreizin audio message, ever.
First…..
Everything you wanted to know about the Individual Ready Reserve… and, why now???
A smart lady to whom I ran this by yesterday, called it a form of “beta testing.” Hmm… Agree? Listen, and decide for yourself…
(Audio file duration: 6:54. Obviously, longer than the “2 or 3 minutes” that I estimate at the start of the recording.)
Pay your Dreizin tax, to keep this blog in existence
…..And, why I haven’t (yet) gone behind a paywall, or even offered a voluntary monthly subscription option. If you wanted to know, now you know…..
(Audio file duration: 4:27)
You can always donate here.
And, my Twitter account is here.
Journalism
This is real. It was also re-run on Yahoo News, with potentially millions of readers.
“Leftists” 20 years ago vs. today
“Military-industrial corporate surveillance state leftists!” LOL.
(Audio file duration: 2:47)
U.S. and Ukrainian armies blaming each other in the pages of the Bezos Post and New York Slimes… is NOT a good look, LOL!!!
Yes, GLOBOHOMO is getting desperate for a quick victory, or at least SOME kind of breakthrough, because, as I said in my last post, the munitions run out by the first few months of next year, at the VERY latest. (More realistically, at the end of this year.) This can’t go on, they need RESULTS.
Also, a little message at the end of this message, for all you misguided U.S. Patriots out there (from my original, Republican mailing list), helping you to cope with another pending loss a la Afghanistan. (Hint: it’s not your problem!!!)
(Audio file duration: 5:37)
Ripples in the water
All the crimes, mistakes, and inanities of the Democrat regime—including the “shot or you’re fired” pseudo-vaccine mandates; “leaning on” and coordinating with the dotcoms to conduct mass suppression of “inconvenient” news and dissident viewpoints on all key topics; forcing trannywoke bullshit on a conservative military; losing their minds over the Ukraine; eliminating the southern border; keeping hundreds of “1/6” redneck trespassers in a shitty Washington, DC jail, beat up and abused by their local black jailers, for one, two, or more years, pending trial (a clear violation of the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution); and replacing July 4th with Juneteenth within the Federal bureaucracy—are, in part or in whole, an attempt to force overwhelmingly their own UNQUESTIONED NARRATIVE AND POWER on a highly divided population.
Their desire and drive to do so, is traceable to their insecurity over Deplorables, the 2020 election, and the “1/6” protest.
This is NOT a sober regime; it is an INSECURE regime, which came to power in a state of FEAR, to include, fear (and their media people said as much) that one or more of the National Guard deplorables called in to Washington, DC after “1/6”, might decide to shoot someone on the Inauguration podium.
Moreover, they have no coherent, affirmative ideology or vision, only a “will to power.”
The steps this regime has taken, and is taking, to alleviate its insecurity WILL have permanent, DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES for the USA. (We can argue about what those ultimately will turn out to be. I have my own views.)
(I don’t get into this below, but at a minimum, their suppression of the military, guarantees a catastrophic loss in any war with China, followed, or perhaps even preceded by, mass conscription to make up for continued recruiting shortfalls.)
Whatever the case, their “shove our dick in your face until you can’t breathe” approach, has been SO EXTREME, that there will be MASSIVE blowback. This is UNAVOIDABLE.
I DO NOT CARE how entrenched they seem today. Something will come around, because something always comes around.
Most of us here, are old enough to remember the 9/11 attacks, the Global Financial Crisis, and the Chinavirus. SOMETHING will come around, and it will de-cohere the country. Because, “red” state and county elites won’t just sit around and scratch their groins, next time.
In the next, panicked “state of flux”, these people will remember everything, to include, the Democrat party’s drive for total domination after 2020—the censorship; the drive to pack the Supreme Court with extra judges; the attempt to federalize all elections through HR1/S1; make DC a state; etc.—and they will say, “fuck you”, and they will PUSH THE ENVELOPE, just as happened in the USSR in the late 1980’s through the 1991 collapse.
(Although I expect the Dems to steal it again in 2024, this will happen REGARDLESS of who is President after 2024, because the Dems and their media, institutional, and corporate allies will still be running the country, more or less.)
THIS IS ***GUARANTEED*** TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE THE RESERVOIR OF PATIENCE AND GOOD WILL IS EXHAUSTED. THAT GAS TANK IS EMPTY.
In this context, Trump, the man, the candidate, the defendant, is now a SIDESHOW, irrelevant.
Trump played his great historical role in catalyzing a systemic reaction against him and his supporters, which constitutes A GIANT, DELAYED FUSE BOMB. That’s it.
His own fate, doesn’t matter anymore.
The entire national Republican party (the central committee and the leadership in Congress) does not matter anymore.
It does not matter who is president in 2024 or thereafter, nothing is getting “fixed” from Washington. If you still don’t get that, you’re hopeless.

Comments Policy
I really appreciate good comments. Many people come back here, in-between posts, just to read the comments. If you help me entertain them, you’re my hero. A few rules: This is not a chat board. Your comment must primarily, largely involve and directly touch upon something that, or someone whom, I wrote about in the post you’re commenting on. Life reminiscences (if relevant), relating your relevant personal experiences, your job, your commie college girlfriend, your idiot family members, your Ukrainian coworker, etc., if relevant, are all HIGHLY encouraged. The most interesting content here… is YOU. The only exceptions to the on-topic requirement, are if you’re calling attention to a technical problem with the site, or briefly stating how much you love the content or this Comments Policy. Don’t try to “legitimize” an off-topic comment by throwing in some little pre-thought or afterthought about what I wrote. NO DISCUSSIONS THAT STRAY FROM MY TOPICS. My topics are the only common denominator here, and while it may amuse you, most readers have no interest in your thoughts on the Punic wars, or on some guy named Serge, or on how much you generally / generically don’t like the Ukraine and Zelensky; it’s your way to kill your own time, but it adds no value for others. Which means, if you’re responding to someone else’s comment, your response must still relate directly to one of my topics. Doesn’t matter how much you generously donated, these rules apply equally to everyone. 350 word limit, no exceptions, 351 words won’t be published, sorry. No rambling. If you’re not sure what “rambling” is, ask yourself, “Are others likely to understand and appreciate or enjoy my comment, or am I merely jerking off, or spewing toxic diarrhea that no one else wants to smell“? Nazis, commies, worshipful groupies of Mercouris/Johnson/etc., Jew baiters/haters, FBI agents-provocateurs, guys who forgot to take their Ritalin, passive-aggressive needling of the sysop or of other commenters (to include, by dipshits who think their attitude will fly if they mention possibly maybe potentially giving me money at some point—yes, “you people” are all the same), random questions that have no bearing on what I wrote (to include requests for my view on some commentator I’ve never heard of), no-punctuation writing by the smartphone generation, silly “Nadsat” lingo picked up from “The Saker” website, use of the BS term “SMO“, ALL CAPS writing (a sure sign of untreated autism), obsessives who just can’t leave a topic alone after they’ve already said everything (and just want to repeat themselves), and autistic bitching about the satanic USA and its evil pedo pervert elites and how they must be killed (or other bile in that vein), will not be tolerated. If you’ve got issues, this is not your “let it go” zone. Don’t write anything here, that your therapist wouldn’t approve of.
I enjoy asking all my old lib friends, yes I was one of “them”, if they got their Pfizer and Raytheon tattoos on the same arm… maybe I should update that to ass cheek, hmmmm… ALL these people used to LOVE the concept of “Question Authority”, now, not so much… one even admitted they LIKED their “comfy cage”… amazing swing in 20ish years, wild times.
Same arm, LOL. Good one.
Democracy on the ballot really means GLOBOHOMOs democracy. Not for us little people.
Hey, Jacob – up/downvote buttons work fine but reply button not working. SO re: Ethan Allen – he was directly (among many others including some members of my family) responsible for the Vermont Republic 1777-91. Basically a territorial dispute between Vermonters, who had settled Vermont with much work, and New York, which claimed the territory. New York sent a crew of surveyors and Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys gave them a good beating and sent them home without their horses or supplies. Ultimately the terms of entry to the Union (Vermonters were simultaneously negotiating with Washington and the Brits so they got a better deal) included a financial settlement with New York.
How is Ethan Allen relevant to your post? It’s a good example of State autonomy, which I think you correctly predict is an inevitable trend considering the corrupt sewer the federal apparatus has become. Fuck those America-haters, censoring, war-mongering, self-dealing gangster scum.
Regarding an eventual red uprising, one commentator said that, according to his contacts, 3/4 of the U.S. population would need to take up arms before the military would join the revolt or even just step aside.
“According to his contacts”, LOL. Dude has no contacts, OK? Anyway, what you wrote is probably correct. As for me, I did not write or speak about any kind of military revolt. Nor even an armed revolt. At least, not primarily an armed revolt.
I finally bought you a coffee, Dreizin. It hurt, but not as much as a Ukranian maiden flashing me on my way to my doom.
“nothing is gonna be fixed in Washington from the national Republican Party”??? Obviously you are overlooking what Nicky Haley can provide the citizenry……….Hahahahahhahahahaaaaaaa
Fuck em all.
100% agreement with the assessment of Trump. It seemed to an observer from abroad he had always been King in his own mind but whose political role was Court Jester. In hindsight he didn’t need to be re-elected in 2020, and perhaps best he was not in the long run, as he still fills that role from outside the White House and the psychopathic scoundrels and thugs now running the show out in the open they are revealing themselves more than Trump could ever had done.
Your audio of the, IRR makes a lot more sense to me than the other commenters that say they are basically grunts that served and now are being called back too, do something?
I want to say something now and I’m not trying to give Dreizin a bj. I very much like what he has to say, I saw him on the Duran last year and thought he was not too stupid. So I followed him and Jacob has turned out to be more right than wrong on a wide range of topics. I encourage people to throw a few bucks at him, because I want to hear some more. Dreizin has some sharp elbows that he throws around, I like that, isn’t that what we want. Not the milk toast leaders that we have in the Senate, Cocane Mitch and soy boy McCarthy. Come on, get off your asses.
Sorry for the delayed approval of this nice comment, I was mad busy. Thanks very much for all the money.
Don’t see point of donating if you are choosing to not post my comments.
Sorry my comments are not deemed “worthy.”
Mom left for the week, on work business, I’ve been alone with three kids. I’m going through the last 16 hours of comments, now.
Hi Jacob,
You’ve mentioned that in your opinion the meeting of the US and Russian spy chiefs means that the preparation is on for bringing the Ukraine war to an end, or at least that’s how I heard it.
Is it at all possible that, in light of the IRR callup, an event that hasn’t happened since who knows when, the US has no intention of stopping support for the war against Russia, and may be even trying to somehow up the ante?
Thanks, and great job on the war videos.
Thanks, Michigan Dude, for all the money. I doubt the IRR callup (if real, not just a paper event) has anything to do with any type of offensive plans.
Always hard to disagree with Mr D. There are many ways to resist. Simply not taking part is one them as in not joining the forces. Our leaders do not see it until it’s too late. Ask the Bourbons of France or the Romanovs.
Back in the Vietnam era the rule was 6 years total commitment consisting of active duty + inactive reserve. I did my 4 years then was technically on inactive reserve for 2 years, so I kept my uniforms, and had occasional dreams of getting activated.
BTW, I don’t know if it was a deliberate display of your puckish sense of humor, but I enjoyed the “getting the cameltoe under the tent” instead “getting the camel’s nose under the tent”.
Oops. That was not deliberate. I suppose a camel is hoofed, does not have toes.
The portion of the American “left” that identifies with the Democratic Party (far and away the biggest portion) obediently opposes wars started by Republicans and supports those started by Democrats – even the Vietnam war did not see overwhelming Democratic left opposition until it became “Nixon’s war” (Humphrey, not McCarthy, won the nomination in 1968). The small portion of the American left that despises the Democrats has been much more skeptical of all America’s foreign adventures including the Ukraine madness (with some notable exceptions).
Sorry for my delayed approval of this fine comment, I was busy busy.
Good point about “Nixon’s war”, I hadn’t thought of that. Now that I think of it, my understanding is, the flagship print media (NYT, etc.) did not turn against the war until Nixon was in office.
At this time, sadly, the portion of the American left that vocally opposes foreign wars and interventions, is so miniscule, as to be completely irrelevant. Those few people have no voice at all.
“(I don’t get into this below, but at a minimum, their suppression of the military, guarantees a catastrophic loss in any war with China, followed, or perhaps even preceded by, mass conscription to make up for continued recruiting shortfalls.)”
I can’t imagine a draft or conscription here in the US. I did not say they wouldn’t try it but I have to assume by the time we get to that point things would look pretty grim. I would almost think the nukes would have fallen by that time. I also cannot imagine a “limited” nuclear exchange either. If a tactical nuke were to go off I would think the world would go batshit. It’s definitely something I do not want to see get put to the test.
“This is NOT a sober regime; it is an INSECURE regime, which came to power in a state of FEAR”…and this is what scares me the most. Seems to be the case with most of the Western World Leadership. They can feel their plans sliding away or at least they will at some point. I don’t believe they will react well.
One a side note Kunstler’s latest piece was centered around Dr Geert Vanden Bossche. My personal hero in the whole Vaxzine biz and who I believe to be the smartest man in the room on such matters. GVB is suggesting Vareunt X (Jacobs term) might be lurking around around the corner. I guess JFK is referring to GVB 7min video on July 11. That would certainly be a big “Something” and its definitely worth keeping our eye on.

Contrary to what Jacob says, it is still important to vote just to show the discontent. The regime in charge right now would prefer that we not vote, so it’s easier to cheat. Showing the divide shows the world that all is not well – but they know that now anyway. Biden has been so much worse for U.S. reputation in the world than Trump ever was.
They will just draft the illegals or encourage them to sign up to get citizenship……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Sorry, but this is way off-topic, please see my Comments Policy.
Yes these senile self-dealing gangsters of the regime appear to be destroying the 150 yr old federalist project along with the imperial regime…..hooray! Probably the least messy way to get er done….I hope you are right about the devolution to States’ power and we don’t get the full federal Stasi police state which they have very sophisticated tools to impose, including the ability to monitor down to the individual level,,,,,it’s damn interesting, to see the sheer incompetence of the imperial overlords, delightful to watch them flail about and lie as their projects go down the tubes. They are still very dangerous, however, and have a massive population of totally programmed sheeple and harpy enforcers to do their bidding….people impervious to reason as they are programmed at the temporal lobe level. We shall see, watch and prepare, go local and as independent as possible….
Ethan Allen, the hero of the Vermont Republic
Thanks very much for all the money. An excellent comment. Except… What about Ethan Allen? I didn’t understand that.
Maybe it’s just me, but the thought of going to war with China, that has 100x the engineers, 1,000x the manufacturing resources and a population of 1.4 billion is just retarded. And I’m still waiting for an explanation why we have to do this.
Thanks for all the money. In my next post, I will publish your comment, and my response to it, because, it’s not “just you.” Very few people understand how our “democracy” works.
At least at the Federal level, policy on matters involving money and/or power, is determined by interest groups. “The people”, or “public opinion”, have NOTHING to do with it. As I mentioned some time ago, this was EMPIRICALLY DEMONSTRATED in a landmark political science paper, sometime in the mid-late 2010’s. (You don’t need to read it, just look at the USA’s southern border!)
Of course, one of the most powerful interest groups is the “Hegemony Complex”, or the broader Military-Industrial Complex (MIC), including all the Pentagon and State Department bureaucrats who broadly share the MIC’s “market expansion” interests (even those who think they’re just doing “democracy promotion”, foreign aid, etc.), and, the shameless, bought-and-paid-for DC thinktanks that pitch its party line.
How does the Hegemony Complex find itself THREATENED by China, and by Russia?
CHINA: If the USA “allows” China to take Taiwan, it would be the end of U.S. hegemony, as we know it today, in the Pacific Rim. That is, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, perhaps Singapore, etc., would have to start dealing with a confident, victorious China directly, constructively, on military-political matters, rather than cowering under Uncle Sam’s umbrella.
RUSSIA: If the USA “allows” Russia to take what it wants of the Ukraine, it would be a severe blow to U.S. hegemony, as we know it today, in Europe. (Perhaps even, the end.) European nations, as well as the Eurocracy, would have to start dealing with a confident, victorious Russia directly, constructively, on both military-political and (once again) economic matters, rather than cowering under Uncle Sam’s umbrella. FURTHERMORE, all U.S. programs and initiatives in the ex-Soviet Caucasus, Central Asia, and Mongolia would be in retreat, in jeopardy, as local elites reorient (or, orient more strongly) around Russia.
In short, a Hegemon is a mob boss. You might be on his “soft side”, if he likes you, but he’s still the boss, with his fingers in every worthwhile pie in the borough. And, the boss DEFENDS HIS TURF.
But, WHY?
Why is maintaining Hegemony so important???
At the Government level, Hegemony provides for countless “job justifications”, career improvement prospects, bureaucratic “turf”, ego trip and legacy-building opportunities, sweet gigs and contracts for useless offspring (e.g. Biden’s and Kerry’s sons), etc. “Hegemony” means having Uncle Sam’s fingers EVERYWHERE… and that’s A LOT of jobs, and A LOT of budgets.
At the private-sector level (i.e. for the “Daddy Warbucks” crowd), being bound “to protect our friends and allies against X country”, is, of course, extremely LUCRATIVE. We’re talking, tens of billions of dollars just to produce PowerPoints about weapons that never even make it to the prototype stage. Likewise, Washington, DC-area contractors getting paid millions of dollars to print and distribute kindergarten-level pamphlets about “democracy“, or to run Facebook pages or Twitter accounts to hype up protests in Iran or Belarus. It’s A LOT of money.
(And, of course, there’s the famous “REVOLVING DOOR” between the civilian and military bureaucracy on the one hand, and the private sector as well as the nonprofits—thinktanks, the National Democratic Institute, etc.—on the other.)
You with me, so far?
Now, where is the “peace lobby”? Where is the lobby for non-intervention?
THERE IS NONE.
There’s no money in it.
And, “peace” and “anti-imperialism” don’t turn people on, like abortion, getting Trump, or whatever.
These concepts DID turn people on, at a mass level, in the late 1960s, through the 1980s. But, no longer. Most of those leftists are dead or co-opted. Just look at “AOC.” Retire your Grateful Dead T-shirts, those days are gone! Even the Democrat media that opposed the Vietnam War (only under Nixon, of course), now labels any dissident as radioactive, a Putin stooge. (As I’ve mentioned, we’re at a WW1 or WW2 level of propaganda.)
Now, although the average household would be HUGELY harmed by a U.S.-China war…..
…..(through extreme shortages of goods to include BASIC MEDICINES, etc., and I’m not even talking about nuclear war)…..
…..that threat seems distant, vague, and doesn’t motivate working stiffs, or their save-the-world brats, or industry groups, or BILLIONAIRE POLITICAL DONORS.
So, you have this interest group, that has NO CHECK OR BALANCE.
It’s like some new species of algae, which chokes off a pond.
It’s not like the “fossil fuels vs. renewables” battle, where even Team Biden might lay off the oil guys, when gasoline gets too expensive. It’s not “importers vs. domestic manufacturers”, however lopsided that one is.
Here, there is NO OTHER SIDE.
It’s like an amoeba-blob, that just keeps growing… and growing… and growing. It perceives no limit. It is funded by hypothetically-unlimited deficit spending of “global reserve currency” dollars. It doesn’t care what voters think. It doesn’t even care what politicians think.
The normal, usual brakes, systemic feedback… ARE NOT THERE!!!
Even worse, journalists, staff and Members of Congress, and presidential candidates, now understand they will be, literally, SPIED ON, if they threaten to restrict this blob in any way other than STRICTLY RHETORICAL. (“Dissident” journalists even get stopped at airports, nowadays.) No one wants to be another Trump, let alone, another Kennedy.
(Even when little punk Dreizin started this blog, I had multiple Fed provocateurs in my comments, talking about attacking Congress again, and killing Federal officials, until I explicitly prohibited such talk in my Comments Policy. Then, they disappeared OVERNIGHT, and never came back.)
This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
But, it’s where we are.
And, it’s why they WILL fight China… if they feel they have to.
The reason they didn’t fight Russia (directly), is because, after the Iraq and Afghanistan clusterfucks, no one, NOT EVEN THE U.S. ARMY ITSELF, will tolerate another major ground “commitment.” Again, even the military doesn’t want it. It’s a “Vietnam syndrome.”
Other than for minor interventions (such as the permanent occupation of Syrian oil/gas fields), use of U.S. ground forces is OFF THE TABLE, thank God, thanks to past “mistakes.” I’ve mentioned this in my writing.
ON THE OTHER HAND, the U.S. Navy was barely affected by Iraq and Afghanistan, and, everyone just assumes that naval operations are quick and (for the USA) painless. So, they THINK they can win a SEA WAR against China. Whatever the losses may be. And, they THINK they can do it WITHOUT nuclear escalation.
Well, who’s to stop them?
They’re the parasitic algae in the pond.
I hope you enjoyed my REALITY-BASED explanation of U.S. hegemonic policy.
Where else can you find this level of understanding? NOWHERE BUT HERE.
Some YouTube show? Tom Luongo’s blog? LOL.
I went to a top school for a Masters in International Relations. It was fun. I learned NOTHING about International Relations. They didn’t even TOUCH this stuff.
It was a “good program”, many top-notch professors, but, it was almost all BS. Just credentialing drones for the U.S. Foreign Service, or (for those not drone-ey enough) other Government agencies.
Granted, this was in the early 2000’s, but, we did not talk about NATO at all. We barely talked about the Iraq war. (Iraq was invaded near the end of my first year.) We barely even talked about the USA, per se! There was no discussion of broader U.S. foreign policy at all, not even retrospectively, looking back at the Cold War or whenever. And, we CERTAINLY did not discuss interest groups.
It was a bunch of useless theory, or, useful lessons on how to negotiate, or write memos… but, nothing like, what are we doing here? Who are we training to work for? Who makes the policy?
The university had a big contract with the U.S. Army, to send finance officers to its business school, for their MBA’s. The Army also sent officers to my program. I had two active-duty Army classmates, and you know the Army pays full price, no scholarships. I’m sure my professors were UNDER ORDERS to not provoke these people. Like, don’t talk Iraq, don’t talk peace, etc.
I doubt anything has changed, since then.
In fact, EVERY graduate International Relations program is like this, has been like this, always, since the dawn of graduate International Relations programs.
They all have active-duty military enrollees. Harvard’s program alone, has graduated MANY HUNDREDS of them, including many later-famous colonels and generals, since the early 1960s at least.
And, these programs are ALL geared towards producing drones for the State Department, etc.
As if, they’re going to talk about Hegemony, and the Military-Industrial Complex? Fat chance!!!
I had to figure out how things work, on my own, years later.
And, now… The Dreizin Report is the ONLY place you can go to, in the English language at least, to actually learn something REAL about International Relations.
Almost lost me in the swamp of perpetual war porn. Prefer your analytical broadsides.
What can I say? My “fifty-plus dollar donors” (the ones keeping this blog afloat) were roughly split on the warporn, 50-50.
Agree on the decentralization process. Incremental small things here and there – like some FL counties proposing a complete ban on the clottshott – lead to bigger things. I tell my friends change happens so slowly at times that the normies don’t notice and then accept whatever it is as normal, but if you look back, let’s say 10 years, holy cow, the cumulative effect is almost unbelievable. MIL is a perfect example. I’ve been out close to 20 yrs now and there are things that are unrecognizable. Speaking of MIL, and again this could have changed, but in my days the only IRR members I knew were officers who were in a guard or reserve unit but elected to go IRR status to finish off their “20”. Often times these individuals were professionals, doctors, nurses, jag, etc…but they still had a requirement to report for duty some number of days every year but didn’t have to go to monthly “drill’. Otherwise not sure on the enlisted side. Cheers!
Simply put, the political system can no longer contain the political differences. They admitted as much when they said ‘democracy was on the ballot’
Well said!
btw great post…back to your best…stick with the audios, they work a treat…I hate videos…the presenters always look like they’re on the wrong side of the table in a conversation with the Stasi.
I wondered if the IRR folks are to beef up the command centres. Just in case they decide to put boots on the ground down the track.
