Folks, here at the Dreizin Report, we believe in DIVERSITY. That is, covering many different topics. Today’s edition is super DIVERSE. Please, enjoy today’s content, which includes some of the most intense Dreizin ranting you’ve ever seen. Also, one of my best recent (or perhaps, of all time) “decodings” of the U.S. State Media’s Ukraine-related whoring, with probably the first use of the term “quadrumvirate” that you’ve ever come across (I thought I made it up, but it’s a real word.)
As always, you can join my generous donors in supporting my fine work—a.k.a. give me money because I’m THE BEST there is—here.
As a reminder (i.e. for the legally blind), comments left by email accounts that are not associated with a minimum donation of $5 within the preceding 60 days, are automatically deleted, I never even see them. I’m SURELY missing out on some very good comments, but, it helps with my revenue, and on top of that, I’m now like a coffee shop with a “Must buy something to sit or use the bathroom” policy, to keep out the homeless and schizophrenics. Believe me, clearing out the human diarrhea, has been an ENORMOUS time-saver, relief, and benefit. You’d have a different perspective on “free speech”, if you had to sift all the crap that I did for months. Thankfully, no longer!
Blast from the past!
I was reminded of an old, forgotten Twitter account of mine, by a pimpled, 16 year-old gay virgin Dreizin stalker-fan with sexual fantasies about me, who was trying to hack it at around 3:30am today (as usual, I was awake at the time, collecting warporn for my paying customers.)
He did me a favor! I had completely forgotten about this. I had only ever put a few tweets on there, all on one day, and I didn’t tell anyone, not even my friends.
The tweets are below. I had made them on February 5th, 2020, the day that Trump’s first impeachment drama ended… and, 19 DAYS BEFORE Pelosi told everyone to come visit San Francisco’s Chinatown, because it’s safe and fun.
As you can see, I made a few mistakes. I wrote “PTA’s” (Parent-Teacher Associations, for you foreigners), but obviously meant “school boards.” (Of course, this was before the term “school board” was daily in the national news.) Also, I failed to predict the “tele-school” phenomenon.
(And, no idea what I meant by “(singular)”.)
Otherwise, see below, not bad at all.
(NOTICE HOW I PREDICTED THAT SECULAR, SUBURBAN WHITE WOMEN (“SOCCER MOMS”) WOULD DRIVE THE CORONA-PANIC!!!)
Stagnation
Finally got around to laughing at the most recent GDP number.
The U.S. financial press, played it up like it’s “surprisingly good news”, LOL, because the prior four quarters had all been under two percent… and they were expecting an imminent recession.
I suppose when expectations are low, encouragement comes easy.
What is “two percent growth”, anyway?

Let the Trumpers worry about Trump
A close friend sends me headlines about Trump’s campaign spending tens of millions of dollars on lawyers, running low on cash because of lawyers.
OK. What’s the problem?
At this time, the legal troubles ARE the campaign. The campaign DOESN’T NEED anything else. The indictments are the biggest “campaign contribution” imaginable.
For Trump, this, per se, doesn’t sound like a problem.
(“They” may choose to crack down on his spending campaign funds on criminal defense lawyers, perhaps hit him or his campaign staff with more charges along those lines, but they can’t stop him from raising money, one way or another.)
Nonetheless…..
It’s VEEEEERY interesting, how all these Trump indictments are coming at about the same time, just as DeSantis CRASHES AND BURNS (as I predicted about four months ago)…..
…..and it becomes clear (even to the blind, deaf, and dead) that Trump is the ONLY credible, the ONLY possible candidate on the Republican side.
The “election interference” investigation against Trump was ongoing, in some form or other, FOR 30 MONTHS…..
…..yet, somehow, it culminated JUST 52 DAYS AFTER Trump’s indictment in the “government archives” case.
AND, Fulton County, Georgia, will be charging him as well, perhaps any day now, for basically the same “election interference.”
LOL.
Yeah, interesting.
(I can’t speak for Fulton, but notice, the Feds are still TOO PUSSY to actually put him in cuffs, have him do the “perp walk”, publish a mugshot, whatever. Why indict someone for so many (literally, tens and tens of) “serious crimes”, with a total maximum sentence of 561 years (per the Trump campaign), if you don’t actually show that you intend him to go to jail? LOL. Because, duh, they don’t care about that. They just need him gone.)
As I’ve mentioned, all of this already happened in Thailand, more or less. Only the names were different. Nothing new.
But… I DON’T CARE.
As I’ve said, Trump is now just a sideshow.
As in early 2020, “something else” (something BIG) will come around, sooner or later, and COMPLETELY CHANGE THE TOPIC.
(In the last 22 years, I’ve lived through “9/11”; the “Great Financial Crisis”; an overhyped but nasty, “once in a century” pandemic, with a zombie movie-script, escaped bioweapon virus; 1960s-style nationwide riots; “January 6th”; the adoption of cross-dressing and cutting off boy’s dicks as the U.S. State Ideology; Jews backing actual Nazis; 20% real price inflation in 2021; below-freezing temperatures in subtropical Houston; the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve half empty, at its lowest since it was first being filled in 1982-1983; the destruction of Europe’s most reliable source of piped natural gas; artillery bombardment of the world’s ninth most powerful nuclear power plant; and the USA losing THREE wars (I’m counting the Ukraine as a loss already), to include, a disgraceful, “Saigon”-style evacuation from Kabul; top U.S. military officers speaking OPENLY of a coming war with China; and Saudi Arabia moving under Chinese protection—who saw that one coming? (Funny, the list gets much more “crowded” in the last few years.) TODAY, the mistakes and imbalances are SO MUCH WORSE than ever in my lifetime, meaning, the list of things that could go very wrong, is SO MUCH LONGER, and I’m not even getting into a curveball such as the Yellowstone volcano going off. I’m EXPECTING a second pandemic, with mass death of immune-compromised, mRNA “vaccine” victims, but it COULD be just about anything, or more than one thing. One thing is sure, we WON’T have to wait tooooo long.)
And, unlike in 2020, seeing as he’s out of power, “it” is MUCH more likely to help Trump, than to hurt him.
But again, a sideshow. He’s not going to save us.
To paraphrase Jesus:
“Let the Trumpers worry about Trump.”
(P.S. Totally out in left field, but regarding “Let the dead bury the dead”, the meaning within the given scriptural context is so LITERALLY OBVIOUS (that is, don’t worry about those who’ve died, they’re beyond help), yet there seems to be (at least) HUNDREDS of websites and commentators trying to sell you on a convoluted explanation, i.e. that Jesus was speaking to OTHERS about the live subject being “spiritually” dead, or claiming the dead subject was actually alive, or some such BS—all evidently concocted by those concerned with Jesus being seen as insensitive towards a guy whose father had just died, as in, “No way, I just can’t accept that Jesus told the guy to grab this once-in-an-eternity opportunity to come follow His Awesomeness on the trail, at the expense of letting his dad’s body fester at home!!!” LOL, I’m sure these same apologists enjoy their “textualist, strict constructionist” reading of the U.S. Constitution, hahaha. Sadly, modern Christian practice is CHOCK FULL of this BS. Anyone really think the Messiah would speak in such OBSCURE RIDDLES, as to require those around him to reach for their smartphones and consult Google to understand what the fuck he just said? And even then, they’d STILL be left guessing, because Google has no one answer? Sorry folks, that is NOT how religious leaders (or ANY leaders) communicate. (Marlon Brando’s Colonel Kurtz was NOT a real character.) Even accepting the core tenets of the faith, this is totally COUNTERINTUITIVE AND IRRATIONAL—it is contrary to REASON, which was bestowed upon us. Just read what’s there. The INTUITIVE NOT COUNTERINTUITIVE understanding is, he told that guy (it’s in the script, he told that guy), not others in the room, but that guy (again, he told that guy specifically, that’s clearly in the text), “Follow me, and leave your dad there, someone else will come bury him when the smell gets bad enough, because it’s just dirt, whereas YOUR soul’s fate is still undecided.” Insensitive, for modern readers? Not your preferred interpretation of the 5th Commandment? (If they’re dead, who cares?) Tough shit!
The next “pivot” won’t be pretty
Here’s a good comment from a reader, not hugely original, but well written, and a good summary of recent and likely future “narrative hopping.” I publish it here, because I want to show you my response:
Putin should be nominated for a Nobel prize in medicine – the moment that the tanks went into Ukraine, the Wuhan Coronavirus ceased being the world-ending threat that they had been hanging over our heads for over two years, and the Ukrainian Flag emojis started to edge out the syringes and mask emojis in Twitter bios.
If there is a new nasty flu variant going around, I’m sure that the establishment will choose to hype it at a time that suits them, and that can be most effectively used to further their agenda. For now, they probably don’t want to divert public focus away from the glorious Ukrainian struggle for freedom and democracy… but things will likely rapidly change as facts on the ground can’t be covered up any more. Then we will start to hear about it in the media, A LOT.
After all, they ignored the coof until around March 2020 before doing a 180, presumably after they came up with a plan to exploit it fully to push their Agenda 2030 forwards. They pretended it didn’t obviously come from a lab in Wuhan until very recently – because they want to put pressure on China.
My response:
Yes, a lot of “We’ve always been at war with Eastasia” going on, the last few years.
As I’ve said for 17 months, they will discard the Ukraine “like a used condom.” Now, even the GODDAMN ZOMBIES are sensing it.
(Can I get an “amen”?)
When it happens, the hate and hysteria will be re-directed internally, and it will be vicious and even violent. There’s no other way, they have to top the last act, keep the game going.
And, if (again, if) the next pandemic hits in 2024… bar the door. Every “red” state or county that refuses to enforce extreme lockdowns, or accept the next nationwide eviction moratorium or whatever, will be deemed an insurrectionist. They’d paint an insurrection so well, it would probably become one.
Yes, I am talking serious ugliness. I have a vision of them sending a Federal SWAT team to try to arrest some state official who’s not playing ball. Let’s see how that goes over in, say, Texas. It wouldn’t be quite the army chaos passage from Stephen King’s The Stand, but it would be close enough.
And, the China war won’t be ready until 2025 or later (or, perhaps never, depending on how 2024 goes.) They have to fill the gap somehow.
A free press puts Green T-Shirt Guy on notice
If you’ve read Politico, you know it’s become a reliable sounding board for the CIA, or some such agency.
(I guess that’s what Americans mean by, “a free press”. The press are “free” to be shills, to be USED, BY THE STATE, LIKE WHORES.)
Yesterday, Politico let us know, there’s a plan to run the Borscht Reich with some quadrumvirate junta (my term, not Politico’s), in the event that Green T-Shirt Guy is killed.
LOL.
First, as acknowledged by Politico, the Borscht Reich’s constitution spells out the succession. There’s no legal basis for a junta of a top aide and two ministers to run the state, under the “figurehead” (Politico’s term) authority of the head of parliament. (Of course, we all appreciate Politico laying down the law in the Borscht Reich.)
Second, you’ll hardly believe this, but, please bear with me… THERE’S BEEN A FULL-SCALE WAR ON, FOR 17 MONTHS. Only NOW do they talk about succession planning? Did I miss something? Slow news day?
Third, Green T-Shirt Guy visits one or more towns in north Donetsk (he’s appeared as little as JUST A FEW KILOMETERS from the front line) every month or two, to give a pep talk, hand out medals, whatever. The visits are not “announced” in advance, but of course, it’s a big deal each time, he brings his bodyguards, photographers, secretary, makeup artist, body double, etc., etc. And, Russia, by now, SURELY knows the pattern of radio activity and “spooky-spooky code language”, whenever his army is told to plan for his arrival.
Of course, as EVERYONE knows, if Russia wanted to kill him, they’d have DONE IT ALREADY. They wouldn’t need a hundred-million-ruble cruise missile—flying hundreds of kilometers to Kiev—to do it.
We may conclude, the CIA is letting Green T-Shirt Guy know he’s EXPENDABLE.
Obviously, everyone’s tired of his “aggressive panhandling.”
The arrogant beggar has become a PR liability.
ALSO…..
His “Global Savior” schtick, threatens the CIA’s PRESENT EFFORTS (as in, right now) to negotiate a de-escalation with Russia, before GLOBOHOMO runs out of munitions, and in time for the 2024 U.S. election campaign.
The Big Counteroffensive failed, and now, they have to bring him down to earth.
If he doesn’t come down to earth, he will, of course, be brushed aside.
It may not be a super-dirty job as with Ngo Dinh Diem (today’s CIA is a bit “softer”)…..
…..but it’s bound to happen, if he doesn’t get with the program.
This is just wrong

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 agree that the Messiah wouldn’t be all elliptical when talking to the dead guy’s son. He actually meant, “leave him and let somebody else deal with it”. If that’s harsh, so be it. Eternal punishment, now that’s harsh.
As far as the CIA wanting to negotiate an off ramp – what if Russia’s decided they’re still going to take Odessa and Kharkov? Seems like a wasted opportunity now that the West is out of ammunition for Russian to say, “you’re out of shells? OK, we’ll call it a draw and freeze the conflict.” Whether or not Green Shirt is killed, Russia may think they want those additional areas.
Bingo. It’s not the time for “Minsk 3.” Too late, no more tricks.
Let the dead bury the dead, could easily be spoken by any of the religious characters in the modern comedy, The Righteous Gemstones!!!
Hi Jacob.
I suspect that the USA will have “surprisingly good quarters” no matter what actually happens at the very least until the Ukraine war ends. The mighty US economic engine seems to play a major part in the narrative holding its satellites in orbit.
Speaking of Ukraine wars and negotiation, a recent Moscow Times article hinted at “semi-official” outreach to Russian elites, and quoted an “anonymous former US official” saying that while Putin personally shut down outreach to the Kremlin, the “Russian elites” as a whole were more receptive. After all, they were having a good time moving money into Western accounts and property, and the war threw a wrench into that.
I realize that this is the Moscow Times we’re dealing with, but it seems to jive with what you’re saying.
What do you think of the prospects for this negotiation? You’ve mentioned already that Putin personally can’t trust his retirement to Uncle Sam, but no man is an island and the “Russian elites” has a history of making retarded deals with wishful thinking and retarded deals when it comes to the West.
Thanks for all the money. Sorry, the “Moscow Times” (now run out of the Netherlands, if I’m not mistaken) is a bunch of crap. They don’t have any top “sources” inside Russia, or anywhere. In general, they repeat memes and talking points going around. It’s possible that there’s some CIA or State Dept.-inspired talk about undercutting Putin in the manner you described. It’s nothing new. Whether it’s happening or not, they’d say it anyway, simply as part of the information war.
Nope, Trump isn’t going to “save us”, not a chance. There is nothing of value to save in a country whose population is said to not be able to outline what a woman is or what a man is and who refuses to admit the biologically obvious regarding child birth and breast/chest feeding. NO, chest feeding is not nutritious but most certainly is incredibly perverse. And no, that was a bowel movement Robert and no, you did not just experience child birth as much as such news may upset you.
Im healthy enough outside a ruined spine, but at 69 there is no way I would now ever wish to be young again nor do I envy anyone who is.
LOL, thanks Dennis, I can’t disagree, but let’s try to stay on topic as much as possible.
Speaking of lithium batteries and their eventual proliferation into every car in every garage and basement…I highly recommend watching John Cadogan’s eye opening doozy re the recent shipping EV thermal runaway. I guarantee you’ll stop and reconsider where to safely store those cars and backups. John is a long time, highly respected motoring journalist in Australia, not prone to conspiracy theories, just blunt facts.
https://youtu.be/GZ9-mW-cmdE
Spoiler: Yes Lithium batteries can ignite, but the Cobalt…
Victor Orbán is doing the same shit in Hungary as the Dems are trying in the US to breathe life into a dying economy: A desparate rush to build as many battery factories in the country as possible, to avoid the collision course.
And naturally, because there are no skilled workers to actually support these facilites domestically, they need to “import” wage slaves from East Asia.
To all the people who worhsip Orbán as the “saviour of Europe” or whatever on the anti-establishment side (like Mercouris, Robert Barnes and others): This motherfucker is the same as every other EU politician. He has no idea how to run a country, all he knows is to spin narrative. Except his narrative on the Ukraine and Globohomo happen to go against the Western Hegemon.
OK, well, 50% on-topic, I’ll let it slide.
Why the photo of Brezhnev? Are you drawing a parallel between the USSR’s great-but-actually-really-bad economic performance under his leadership and the current rose-tinted glasses view of GDP growth in the USA? btw when I was in Russia a few years ago I met a retired school teacher who confided in me that she missed the Brezhnev years.
Love the Brezhnev photo in relation to where the US is going now. It’s a metaphone I often use when speaking to Americans who appreciate my opinion yet refuse to acknowledge that the US hegemony, and stamina in general, are eroding quickly – and under their own actions. It’s a standard shtick for me. Give it 30 seconds, so not to loose them. I mention my age, then noting that Brezhnev’s USSR on the top of the news is about the earliest global news issue I can recall from being a child. And that I recall the elderly in the room watching the, clearly, senile Brezhnev, and the rest of the Soviet zombies, standing at the top of the mausoleum watching the army hardware marching, saying with quite a determined tone that “This USSR thing wont hold up for much longer”. And they didn’t read the “NY times” or listed to “Sovietologists” – they just had healthy instincts (and knowledge of the inner workings of the USSR). It may be reversable – but the US, with many differences in nuances, may be now the USSR of 1981. With these pathetic fragile leaders and kleptocratic political system backed by no stable manufacturing economy. “They” (American friends) somehow delude themselves that the US has a magical immunity from walking this path. But lets face it? Its onlt, or mostly, the glamorous geographic isolation that allowed the US to postpone, by some 50-70 years, the inevitable “Glasnostization” of its political system. Somehow many Americans believed that they were forged in a unique set of circumstances preventing them from becoming a Borat nation. Well… The Roman’s on the 2nd century AD thought the same. And actually had better reasons to believe so.
Jesus was a Jew and so he would have been referring to the mitzvah to bury one’s father, thereby stating that the Law is dead in the life of Spirit (let those that live according to the dead law obey that law – you, young man, can have liberation if you want it).
Jacob, there is a huge amount of fear and hype right now about AI and the possibility of bad actors using it for a devastating bio weapon. So I say, you may just be right.
LOL, holy shit. Do you really think your take is how the dolts standing around Jesus would have understood what he said, in real time? Sounds like you missed my point, too tone deaf to even consider it.
“Decoder Ring Christians” are retards. Sadly, they seem to be the majority.
Everyone is expecting, and preparing for another pandemic, which is why the next emergency will not be an infectious disease. Maybe 100 years from now….
By “everyone”, I assume you mean regular Dreizin Report readers. All three or four thousand of them.
Good episode, including on economy – and a question:
Are wars and large scale illegal immigration (because of lowering wages) — are they “good” for economy?
PS: Why don’t you unblock me on Twitter since I grew up and am fully reformed and will no warn you, if you even need it, that you should stay away of anything on Gonzalo Lira topic — he is and has been controlled for years by Ukraine secret service. Everything he says is pure BS.
See excellent recent Scott Ritter Extra #87 Episode.
https://rumble.com/v33p2uf-scott-ritter-extra-ep.-87-ask-the-inspector.html
I don’t have time to watch Ritter, but if he said that, good on him.
Lira is obviously some flavor of fraud.
Nobody, not even a U.S. passport holder, can live in the Ukraine and publicly shit on its government and war effort, “just like that.”
Since February 24, 2022, the Ukraine has become one of the world’s most oppressive states, a giant concentration camp, up there with North Korea. Even listening to Russian music in one’s car, or having a Russian Telegram channel on one’s phone, is grounds for indefinite detention and “enhanced interrogation techniques”, on the presumption that the offender is a spotter for Russian air/missile strikes, or some kind of traitor, anyway. (If the offender is lucky enough to be released, if male and not older than 60, he will immediately be presented with a big “fuck you” in the form of a draft summons.)
My guess, Lira is/was a “honey trap”, with the security men nailing local dissidents/freethinkers who were dumb enough to reach out to him. It’s INCONCEIVABLE that he didn’t understand his role. He MAY have even been paid for it.
If they really did arrest him, not just to give him more “cred”, but “for real”, once or twice, it was only because he lost the plot, temporarily stopped cooperating or whatever (perhaps demanded more money!!!)
I enjoy your side notes on the Jesus religion. Heaven knows we could use some divine justice, from the Almighty, to even the score. The dead burying the dead could be sooner or later. Expect the worst, Hope for the best, and Plan accordingly.
I’m just old enough to remember Brezhnev and the grainy television footage of the elderly communist party functionaries at the May Day parades. Observing it as a youngster the impression was a strange conflicting combination of both threatening and enfeebled.
Imagine a Rip Van Winkle scenario where one fell asleep for 40 years and woke up to what we have today. You wouldn’t be able to make sense of it. The USA is now the place that is run (supposedly) by a bunch of geriatrics whose primary political program is war, migration and LGBT, fully supported by a western Europe which is itself a system of nomenklatura with a remote bureaucratic governing structure in Brussels that is as detached from its citizens and as ineffectual as the Soviet Politburo ever was.
Jacob,
I know you are of the mind that voting republican does not matter. Or voting at all. I am not a Republican, (undeclared party preference in the state of Kali), But usually vote Republican, certainly not Democratic. I think that gaining the house has been very useful because their oversight is exposing a ton of info as it relates to crimes, conspiracies and Federal Law Enforcement/Judicial branch third world corruption. If Trump would get back in power with at least the house I believe He will be able to leverage this info to harm what I hate the most which is Government administrative state and the heads of these departments.
As it relates to the chronic blather about the 2020 election being a clean election, this latest indictment can be used by Trump, if he is properly represented, to show that is not true. Most of the evidence of election fraud has never been tested in court because the Judges will not except the challenges for various legal reasons. Now, someone can finally present the evidence in the court and there is a lot. Also, because of the indictments tie to Jan 6th, all of the surveillance videos can be subpoenaed as well as the capitol Police chief who quit after the riot, but makes a case that the failed security at the capitol was planned by folks higher in the food chain them him. One by one we have to find a way to red pill more citizens.
Anyways, voting is the only game in town for me so I have to do at least that. I also give money to organizations that sue the government like judicial watch or California Pistol and Rifle Association.

I’m sorry, I hope you’ll keep giving me money, but everyone knows, Dreizin never bites his tongue, and I’m not about to start now.
This part of your well-written comment is SHOCKINGLY naive.
You sound like Gateway Pundit or the Robert Barnes people.
You assume the judge will allow Trump’s trial, to become a trial of the election (as well as of the FBI’s role in “January 6th”, holy moly!!!)
You forgot, the trial will be in Washington, DC.
What I’ve read, the assigned judge is a reliable “hanging judge”, as far as the January 6th crowd is concerned.
Besides which, the MSM won’t cover Trump’s defense, except to briefly ridicule it, same as with the Hunter Biden stuff (although the latter is well worth pursuing, simply because the initial facts are still getting out.)
You really think this will be an OJ Simpson trial, with everyone glued to the tube, looking to make up their minds?
It’s been close to three years since the election. No one’s gonna be redpilled by “evidence from 2020”, who wasn’t already redpilled.
Your comment, is as if written by someone who’s been sleeping since 2017, and just woke up and read about the 2020 election and everything else.
Naturally, a former president being tried by his enemies, on enemy territory, looks bad, and if the economy continues to stagnate, and the price of gas rises again, and there are other failures (let alone, another pandemic, lost war, etc.)…..
…..then most people won’t buy into the trial, and it would be much easier for our political Supreme Court to overturn Trump’s conviction, or to intervene in the trial itself (upon some emergency appeal from his lawyers), or, he gets elected (perhaps, from jail) and pardons himself.
But, this has NOTHING to do with any “evidence.”
The final outcome of the Trump persecution, as everything in politics, will depend on “EVENTS” and on PUBLIC OPINION.
“Democratic system” political outcomes DO NOT (as in, NEVER, EVER, EVER) depend on any “objective facts” that are separate from the financial / personal success or well-being of rich donors and dumb voters.
(The only other deciding factor is tribal identity and tribal “under threat” feeling, and their relative intensities across donor cliques and broad demographics.)
“Objective facts” are **ONLY** ever judged in light of the above factors.
Outside of these factors, facts DON’T MATTER AT ALL.
Even INSIDE of these factors, facts don’t ever REALLY matter, per se, as they are merely AUXILLIARY to pre-existing (tribal) or situational (success / well-being) senses and feelings, serving as a hook or amplifier (perhaps even a VERY STRONG AND USEFUL ONE), but having NO SEPARATE LIFE OR VALUE.
(U.S. House Repubs now understand this, and are thus slow-dribbling the Hunter Biden stuff, letting it percolate into the masses, until such time as the U.S. goes further downhill, and then, the facts around Hunter will start to matter. The “Impeach Now!” crowd OBVIOUSLY doesn’t get it.)
If you grasp this, you can begin to predict certain political outcomes.
If you don’t grasp it, you’re just lost in a brain fog.
Good, broad discussion – I think it’s time to give you some money. I really appreciate this system of paying for product when I like it.
I grew up under Brezhnev and I appreciate the several posters drawing parallels, but there is more to consider than economic stagnation and gerontocracy… The USSR kind of melted away relatively quietly – life was still very peaceful and stable from what I recall. The USA has this added dimension of race war and the whole tranny fascism thing. It would seem likely to go much more violently than the USSR… Anyhow, that’s my superficial impression as a non- resident of the USA…
My read on Green T-Shirt Man is that it’s the Ukrainians who are going to get rid of him, and not necessarily with the CIA’s approval let alone involvement. The Politico article is more about prepping the American public for the possibility of the sudden demise of Green T-Shirt Man than letting him know he’s expendable. The question is whether the Ukrainians get fancy and use their own artillery to obliterate his next front line visit or launch a drone at him in Kiev (either one lets them blame the Russians) or just openly assassinate him?
It doesn’t matter if he comes back down to Earth anyway. The Russian objectives of desnotification, demilitarization, and no NATO mean this stops when the Ukrainian establishment itself is changed, the Ukrainian military is gone, and whatever independent Ukrainian territory that hasn’t fallen under Russia’s sway is of no value to NATO whatsoever.
Jeeezzuss. No one’s going to assassinate him, it’s 2023 and the whole world is watching. It would be a lot smoother. He may have a sudden mental health issue, and resign to spend more time with his real estate in Cyprus or London or wherever.
Jacob, you seem wedded to the notion that that was a record of actual words spoken by Jaysus to an unsophisticated mob and that they must be taken on face value. Those words were written down many decades after Jaysus and were directed to a rather sophisticated group of catechumens…nothing to do with “decoder ring Christians’, more to do with the discursive power and intent of the scribe. I can’t imagine what the “dolts” standing around Jaysus might have thought, because I doubt it ever happened that way and is more likely a “teaching” for the initiated cult members much later on.
I am “wedded” to the idea of not crapping on my readers of the Christian persuasion. I accept their core beliefs “for arguments sake”, and then clip away the contrived BS within the context of that world. Of course, some can’t handle even that.
First off, I am not a kiss ass for anyone. I think Dreizin has done a great job of explaining how the economy works and how our government manipulates its numbers. I’m an employee of the state that I live in. I have a great job. I serve the people of my state, and I take it seriously. I try to listen to many talking heads explaining the economics of the US and how this and that will happen and it makes my head hurt. These people talk like in such a conspiracy or confusion way, that I think that I’m reading, ‘1984’ I can’t understand anything they are saying. Thanks Dreizin for explaining and putting things in an understandable way for us deplorables.

Jacob, I am naive compared to you on these matters. Thats why I drop some coin and read your posts. I only comment on two sites whose moderator/author and the commenters seem above average. I do not comment very often. I do it not because I am right about anything, but because it is a sport to me and sometime the responses teach me. I have thought about your response. I am not naive about the courts. I spent 31 years in LE and 17 of it as a major crimes investigator, retiring in 2021. I used to confidently teach new officers to trust the law. learn it, stay within its constraints and you will be fine. By the end of my career, based on a series of events, I lost faith in the court system and the government systems at every level. What I have seen in the last 7 years double downs that lost faith and trust. So why did my post seem to show me naive in the matter of the courts. I see it now. Hope. Hope gave me a naive opinion. Hope, that great sense that keeps us going but makes us stupid at the same time. Anyways, coffee and chicken strips will keep coming.

Well, you’re clearly in the 2% or 3% who are capable of introspection, instead of doubling down on stupid. Hope is fine, you just need to have hope in reasonable and realistic things. Hope in the Carnival King (Trump) and in the U.S. Federal regime, is misplaced. Hope in its self-destruction and, perhaps, rebirth as something else… well, that may be ambitious, but it’s not dumb.
