What is so maddening are the lies, the rigging, the political indifference, the intolerance, the hate

"What is so maddening are the lies, the rigging, the political indifference, the intolerance, the hate", complains Damian Bennett. All of which, to top it off, they assign to us — to us, conservatives!

What I can't fathom is the extent to which Leftists are prepared to lie, not only to others but (perhaps above all) to themselves. The afore-mentioned Damian Bennett agrees:

What is so maddening are the lies, the rigging, the political indifference, the intolerance, the hate (if that word still has the force of its actual meaning) -- all of it is in plain sight. It is before our eyes. We are lied to with the facts in evidence, with the facts attested, with the facts bearing  down. 

YET.

Yet we are lied to, ballots rigged, problems go unchecked, discussion and argument are censored. People are stoked to hate, invited to hate, instructed to hate. No surprise that the once cohering 'love thy neighbor' has been supplanted by 'hate your neighbor".

It is hard to believe the real because the real has become unreal. Precepts, custom, institutions, the law -- everything is turned on its head. It is maddening. Or perhaps I have gone mad and the world outside my brainpan is kind and loving and at peace with itself. But I truly experience the world as mad. Being mad has the benefit of reconciling one to a world fitted for the mad.

Damian Bennett has more to add regarding the "Homestretch+4 Hodge-podge":

The wait on November 5 is entering the surreal hurry-up/hold-on stage. Let's go -- but let's rack up a few more positives. [More positives racked.] Go! Go! Go! -- wait, how about just one more? Oh NO! It's DST turnback! Turn your clock back an hour! That's one more hour away from November 5!

Nice.
Nicer.
More Nicer.

  • "A Breach Of Protocol": White House Overrode Stenographers, Altered "Garbage" Transcript October 31, 2024
    The change was made after the press office “conferred with the president,” according to an internal email from the head of the stenographers’ office that was obtained by The AP. The authenticity of the email was confirmed by two government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.
    The supervisor, in the email, called the press office’s handling of the matter a breach of protocol and spoliation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices.”
    The two-person stenography team on duty that evening, a “typer” and a “proofer” said that any edits to the official transcript would have to be approved by their supervisor, the head of the stenographer's office — who was unavailable. Because of this, the White House press office went ahead and published an altered transcript on the White House website and distributed it to the press and social media in a mad scramble.
    The supervisor did not like that: “If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently. ... Our Stenography Office transcript — released to our distro, which includes the National Archives — is now different than the version edited and released to the public by Press Office staff.”

    Rep.

    AllVote, a ['progressive'] low-profile super PAC [funded by anti-Trump billionaire Reid Hoffman et al.] launched this summer, has sent false information via text message to voters in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and other states about their voting status, CNN, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and other outlets reported this week. Some messages inform voters who have already gone to the polls that they have yet to cast their ballots. Others have been provided inaccurate information about their polling places or drop-box locations.

If you are not convinced that the left, septic with violent intent, is ready to discharge its contagion, then you are prime for the slaughter

The lefties need no particular excuse to behave horribly. The short answer is the lefties are losing, and they've nothing left but violence. The left has exited the confines of politics and enters the wide open spaces of psychopathy, of mental illness as a practice, as a weapon of choice.  

Thus speaks Damian Bennett, who goes on to qualify his words:

I think the Trump administration has it largely right: stigmatize, arrest, and prosecute criminal mobs and freelance goons and assassins; uncover, cut off, and confiscate insurrectionist financing, prosecute and bankrupt the financiers; deploy the military to restore order, maintain the peace, and protect the citizenry; continue undeterred with the federal enforcement of immigration law.

That said, it needs to be recognized that the left is ready to spill blood, has openly announced it is eager to spill blood, has already spilt blood, and is preparing to scale up. I don't think these contemporary 'revolutionaries' can compare to the mettle or convictions of the Confederate secessionists. The Dark Powers are generaling an army of pretenders, of poseurs, of cowards who mob together to hide themselves. Once the left makes it move, if it is correctly, forcibly dealt with, it will crumple like a cheap suit slipping the clothes peg. What they will find themselves up against is not just the Trump administration but a populace ready to defend hearth, family, community. The left has no principles, no clear idea what it is about. It is like a cut snake, writhing, striking at everything. Cut off the head and the tail stops twisting.

The left is readying a tactical shift; it cannot combat the government directly and win. It will granulate its forces and take its fight to where it will leave a mark -- to your community, your church, your home, to you. Sooner or later the fight will come for you. I only argue to be prepared.

Those are the stirring words of Damian Bennett. Observing the world around him, he adds as follows:  

The World Is Off Its Nut. Laugh Or Cry?

Some days laugh...
...other days cry...
...then there are days when there are no laughs and tears run dry:
There are no tears left to cry. If you are not convinced that the left, septic with violent intent, is ready to discharge its contagion, then you are prime for the slaughter. The Democrats have edged beyond rhetorical violence into seditious actual violence. They have lost at the ballot. They are losing on the issues. They are losing in the polls. All this losing makes for their moment. They will take back all the prizes lost. By violence. It's coming. [Shakes head.] No. No, it's here.
The list goes on, by which is meant it is evergoing. It will go on until you and I are cowed or culled. What the left really wants is returned-violence to produce a few PR martyrs of their own to mask the murders they've committed and provide cover for murders-in-waiting they're wanting to commit. Of course they don't want too much returned-violence or too many martyrs, just enough for headlines and songs and tee-shirts and posters and swag and props for their cosplay 'revolution'. The pretend 'revolutionaries' are not serious people. They are not heroic. They lack the mettle to die on the barricades (oh, and this sniveler). However, until their threats are forcefully dealt with, they remain deadly dangerous.

Something radical is needed. There is not the luxury of waiting them out 40-50 years to expire or self-extinguish or debauch-to-death. What is needed are the chthonic Erinyes come calling.

Indeed, Damian Bennett brings an update: 

Laugh...

The process for Mullally was an 11-month marathon presided over by a committee of some 20 people chaired by the former director-general of MI5, Britain’s domestic spy agency. ... There was no published shortlist of candidates, nor an open vote. It was more a slow process of sounding out various interest groups to figure out which of the current bishops might be able to lead the church forward.

...or cry?

 Duncan Hill reacts:

I thought I understood the purpose of the Church in society. But, according to this article...

“The new archbishop will be faced with declining church attendance, bloated management structures and clergy squabbling over what people do in the bedroom,”

What happened to being the spiritual guide for God's children?

And to allow the desecration of the hallowed walls is tantamount to using the Cathedral for a toilet.

Shame on the clergy for allowing the decline of religion into irrelevance. And then they wonder why attendance is falling.

As an Episcopalian, I have always felt separate from the Church of England although I recognized the greater Anglican Communion. So the decline this article relates isn't as personal to me as the nonsense coming out of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC. Nevertheless, I hate to see the decline of religion anywhere.

No more than a few days ago, I read that the Church still has humility and contrition, unfortunately what it is totally lacking in these days is faith. In any case, Damian Bennett replies to Duncan as follows, adding the image at the top of this post: 

Ah, well, I would welcome a decline, a greater decline, a decline to zero in Islam. Or does that beg the Q, is Islam a religion at all? I think it resembles more a small tent revival militarized and gone transnational. Most religions can coexist, Islam cannot. Predation and oppression are baked into its mission.

What I find distressing in the elevation of Sarah Mullally is that her appointment was market tested. Does the COE no longer take its cues from the Holy Ghost? In this, I am forever old school.

The Great Taking: "We’re Living Through The Greatest Transfer Of Wealth From The Middle Class To The Elites In History"

 
The latest Bēhance poster by our good ol' friend Damian Bennett is called The Great Taking and is based on the book of the same name that he has been reading.

To understand what it is about, and the dire danger that the author is warning about, THE GREAT TAKING by David Rogers Webb can be downloaded for free — as can Damian's poster above — through a link at the latter's Bēhance page. Here is what Damian has to say about the matter (and about the book):
Regardless of politics or party, financial circumstance or station in life, The Great Taking comes for us all. You might never know though, because The Great Taking is not under-reported, there is virtually NO reporting at all. 

There are a few Cassandras in the financial press that have been warning of corruption and systemic collapse for years.
  • We’re Living Through The Greatest Transfer Of Wealth From The Middle Class To The Elites In History (Carol Roth, Newsweek) October 24, 2021
    When historians look back on the decisions made beginning in March 2020 and still going strong, this period will be remembered as the "Great Consolidation"—the acceleration of a historic wealth transfer and power concentration out of the hands of the middle class and into those with political power and connections.
  • $2.5 Quadrillion* Disaster Waiting To Happen (Egon von Greyerz) November 2, 2022
    Credit has increased dramatically through derivatives. All instruments being issued now by banks, pension funds, stock funds, it’s all synthetic. There is no real underlying payments in anything almost. Therefore, my estimate for derivatives would be at least $2 quadrillion, and I think that is probably conservative. Then, we have debt on top of that of $300 trillion, and we also have a couple hundred trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities. So, we are talking about $2.5 quadrillion, and that’s with a global GDP of $80 trillion. So, there is a disaster waiting to happen, and especially because all this created money has created no value whatsoever.

    * 1 Quadrillion = 1,000 Trillions
  • Household Debt Tops $17.5 Trillion And Americans Are Feeling The Strain (Mike Maharrey) February 8, 2024
    On top of borrowing on credit cards, Americans are pulling equity from their homes to make ends meet. Balances on home equity lines of credit (HELOC) increased by $11 billion in Q4. ... Americans haven’t just been borrowing using credit cards. Every debt category increased in the fourth quarter.
  • How America’s Paper-money System And The Federal Reserve Plunder American Taxpayers(Jacob G. Hornberger, FFF) October 14, 2025
    By inflating the amount of money in circulation, the Fed reduces the value of money sitting in people’s savings accounts or that they receive in income. Their savings and income buy less than before simply because the federal government, through its inflationary policy, has debased the value of money.
  • Will The Next Big Crash Lead To The Great Taking? (Christopher Talgo, Heartland Institute)February 2, 2026
    In 2002, Warren Buffet stated that “derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction, carrying dangers that, while now latent, are potentially lethal. … We view them as time bombs, both for the parties that deal in them and the economic system.”
Let's organize these interrelated problems (some of these I address here) as a cascade:
  1. There is too much debt.
  2. There is too much money.
  3. Money is uncorrelated to wealth.
  4. Money uncorrelated to wealth debases the currency.
  5. Debasing the currency produces inflation.
  6. Inflation produces stealth wealth from the middle class to the powerful. 
The eventual consequence of such bad fiscal stewardship will be catastrophic collapse. This 'collapse' will happen out of sight, as financial giants re-valorize worthless dollar valuations and divvy up the assets as what's owed them. You will wake up to the sun shining, the air sweet, everything pretty much as you left it at bedtime -- BUT YOU WILL LIKELY BE BROKE. Your investments, your house, your car, anything financed by debt, will be seized. THAT is the great taking. 

The intent of the taking is not wealth itself; the intent is wealth as power and with power, control. Decisions will be made for you by distant entities through powerless governments -- so, without one atom of your being having changed, you will be changed into a compliance slave. 

There is a general overview The Great Taking at Bēhancebut I strongly recommend watching the David Rogers Webb documentary linked there for a greater understanding of the history and theory -- and built-in theft expropriation -- of 'Security Entitlement' (Uniform Commercial Code §8-511.(a).(b).(c); click here for Wikipedia's no-worries gobbledygook or read the legalese itself here).

White House Tenant (JFK) Attends 1962's Madison Square Garden Nazi Rally

 

In response to the Democrats' Nazi smear about Adolf Trump (whatever happened to Godwin's Law?!), a lot has been said about Bill Clinton and Al Gore's visit to the Madison Square Garden in the 1990s and indeed to Bill's wife Hillary visit to the venue around 2001. But Damian Bennett reminds us about an even bigger icon of the Donkey Party — the biggest, ever? — holding a Nazi rally there.

Overall I think the MSG rally was well executed. I kept thinking what a Herculean task to keep the show rolling to schedule. The MSG spotlight in front of a massive audience had more than one speaker find his/her larger oratorical self. The casting -- there were a few odd choices -- must have had something to do with the NY dynamic, speakers that hit some specific NY nerve. I can't really say as I've been out of the NY dynamic for so long. However there was one unexpected speaker:
 
Oh. Wait. That was President John F. Kennedy attending the 1962 Madison Square Garden Nazi Rally.
  • NYC Mayor [Eric Adams (D)] Says Trump Not A Fascist, Urges Politicians To 'Dial Down The Temperature' October 27, 2024
    “I know what Hitler has done, and I know what a fascist regime looks like. I think, as I have called for over and over again, that the level of conversation, I think we can all dial down the temperature,” Adams said at the conference in which he also detailed a significant police presence planned for Trump’s event at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan Sunday. He made the comment after Vice President Kamala Harris and her surrogates criticized Trump in recent days...
  • Worst. Nazi. Rally. Ever. October 27, 2024

T-V is teasing NY in play:
fivethirtyeight.com currently puts DJT's NY chances at 1%. I think the general plan is to deny H-W big NY numbers and fluff up T-V's national popular vote numbers. OK. But elsewhere...

Let's take stock. DOMINANCE, MOMENTUM, TIME -- all are on DJT's side. 
All the same tough 8 days ahead.
 Duncan adds that

It took me a while to get my jaw off the floor. What a pathetic smear. I don't think even the densest idiot wouldn't fall for that. The media claims sound like propaganda.

Thus writes our friend Duncan in response to take on Damian Bennett's take on Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden event and the following Democrats' Nazi smear. Earlier, Damian was writing about the Joe Rogan podcast:

The Trump sit-down on Rogan dropped yesterday -- 2:58:49 hours; 9,890,083 views (on YouTube alone).


If you follow Trump there's not much new here. (Highlight reel at ZeroHedge.) Trump works the 'weave', but Rogan provides some needed 'herding cats' discipline to the conversation. It was a congenial conversation throughout (Rogan surprisingly passed on Operation Warp Speed) but nothing much new. (Wait a minute, what about eliminating the income tax? Nope, DJT had entertained this during his Bronx barbershop confab.) Yet. This was a very consequential event. Why? Aside from the massive audience reach of Rogan -- introducing DJT shed of negative media taints -- Trump on Rogan begs why NOT KA-mala on Rogan.
What's a girl to do? Go on Rogan and risk a hazardous long-form conversation OR not go on Rogan and forfeit the homestretch exposure?
Not Rogan. Instead, Beyoncé and CBS News. [Pause.] CBS. Yeah. That CBS News

Oh. About that Beyoncé thing.
Hhmmm. Fool me once...
Presidential campaigns serve two purposes: (1) to introduce the candidate and party policy slate; (2) to preview by analogy how well a candidate will run his/her presidency. H-W campaign is clinging to the consensus punditry calling this a close race. SOooo in the run-up crunch to the November vote you might think that H-W would be extra-special-super-tippy-toe careful about screw-ups and unforced errors. [Pause.] You might think. [Strap in. Skim alert!]
That's October. So far. [Pause.] Take note, the H-W campaign is a H-W presidency in miniature. Imagine the H-W campaign scaled up to the size of the United States presidency.
