"The Situation Is Under Control"

More Of This, Please

Islamic militants and separatists attacked several locations in Mali's capital and other cities on Saturday, in one of the largest coordinated attacks in the country in recent years. The military said later in the day that the situation was under control.

Can't wait until the Xianist extremists & separatists start this crap here. Although the Trump/Hegseth U.S. military may be on the Xian side. Death to seditionists & insurrectionists!!

No memory of watching this 50 yrs. ago (or any time since).

The Wiccan Menace Threatens Us All!

Get Help Before It's Too Late, Weirdo!

Will this delusional witchfinder order the Navy to start bombing Monterey because Wiccans give him the willies?

Here is a video of new Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao warning that a wave of Wiccan "witchcraft" is taking over American and threatening Christianity pic.twitter.com/uwpkf03ENm

What rocks does the Pervert Party turn over to find these bizarre specimens?

“We can’t let it turn like this. There’s a place in Monterey, California called Lovers Point. The original name was Lovers of Christ Point, but now it’s become– they took out the Christ, it’s Lovers Point, and it’s really– Monterey is a very dark place now,” said Cao during an interview with former Bethel Church pastor Sean Feucht. “A lot of witchcraft and the Wiccan community has really taken over. We can’t let that happen to Virginia.”

Business Insider reported at the time that while there did appear to be a Wiccan presence in Monterey, there was “little evidence that the community has ‘taken over’ the sunny seaside locale.”

It's the 21st damn Century, people: Comic books & fairy tales are not real. Fun, but fiction!! And now, the First Amendment's guarantee of the free exercise of religion is becoming fiction.

Fact check: It's in Pacific Grove, not Monterey, it may not have been "Lovers of Christ Park" since the 19th Century, when it was a Methodist retreat, & it's now a city park, so no endorsement of religion. Acting Sec. Cao seems to know more about fairy stories than our Constitution & its First amenedment.

Continuing today's "America is No. 1" theme, although soon we'll only be tops ("The Hottest!!") in stupidity & delusion. The Louisiana, Alabama & Mississippi of nations, at the bottom of any world rankings.

This Should Freak You Out

Via The Confluence & riverdaughter, who doesn't think everybody is responsible. She's right; it's most of you, but not every one of you. Enough of you that this dying nation does qualify for collective punishment, however.

Throw Back Thurs.

Racial paranoia strikes deep. From 2015:

Yeah, the police haven't been allowed to look cross-eyed at any black people, let alone arrest them, for 10 yrs. now.

Meanwhile, here & now in the real world Fat Boy Trump consistently refuses to prosecute &/or pardons white-collar criminals. Fuck your mentally ill mouth, Kris. I'm sure you're just as disturbed, gullible & stupid 11 yrs. later.

Yes, Yes, 1,000 Times YES!!

Time For Rude Boy Action In the Streets & Stores!! TAKE BACK AMERICA, STEAL THEM BLIND!!

Absolutely righteous & justified! Help yourselves to anything you want!! As for corporate executives & their flunkies, it's NOT murder, it's killing in self-defense & Gawd is just fine w/ it. It's a long-time Judeo-Xian tradition, like child molesting. Maybe He'll send an angel or two to help you take Holy Vengeance on your enemies, because He's a vicious killer too!

Timely reminder from Cassandra's Grandson (On the High Desert) to those who disobey Gawd at America Reads The Bible, from a version of the King James Version:

When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. They have their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will hear your prayer.

Street corners nothing, stay off the telebision, disobediant heretics!

Josh Hawley And The Parable Of The Single-Income Family

More magical thinking from Missouri moron (& Sen.) Josh Hawley, whose bizarre fantasy involves something alright. What exactly that is is anybody's guess, but surely no one older than eight or ten could believe these not-in-The-Bible stories.

"No, we need a kingdom economy. Last I looked, the Lord Jesus was king over our economic life, over our labor, over our families, as much as he is over the church. Amen? We need to reassert the Lordship of Christ. And for those who say to us, 'Leave this to us. Christians, leave the economics to us. Christians, leave the social policy to us. Christians, leave the family to us,' we will say, 'Not on your life, because we serve a Lord who's lord over all of those things. And we will raise up an altar to claim this ground for him, for this country, over the innocent unborn, over our families, over our men and over their labor.'"

What part of NO KINGS do these people not get? Why do we need to "reassert the Lordship of Christ"? Why are we always doing his work? He can reassert the hell out of himself simply by descending from Heaven on His Trumpian Holy Golden Escalator anywhere he'd like, but no. He & Josh are kinda sissified, aren't they? Yes.

Are the works-w/-his hands calluses on his hands from gripping bottles?

Hawley said that the nation must focus on raising up men who are equipped to lead their families in accordance with the Bible. The key to accomplishing this, Hawley asserted, is creating a Christian economy "where a man can support himself and his wife and family by the work of his hands."

Does he mean we should all be janitors & farmworkers? Does this Xian economy mean no regulation & plenty of job discrimination? And how will Jesus perform this miracle, by dictating wages & prices, Commie-style? Waving his magic Jesus wand? He won't even stop wars or genocides, why would he ever give enough of a crap about Hawley's inane fantasies to perform radical change on American society?Another pantywaisted creep who has issues w/ his "masculinity", The Zuck.

Retrospection & Reflection

Interesting how thirty yrs. of being abused when not being ignored can turn one into an alienated loner w/ mass killer potential, especially after someone who should have known the fuck better is a squeaing rat yet again. (Lose my number, asshole!)

And why can't I kill? The United Snakes Gov't. kills innocents every day & threatens to destroy whole civilizations, allegedly in your & my names, yet I am not allowed even to speak of the righteous & entirely justified deaths of my enemies? The never-ending hypocrisy only increases my desire to kill, two-faced scum! Think about that for a while.

More Candidates For The Guillotine

Surveillance and analytics company Palantir recently posted what it called a “brief” 22-point summary of CEO Alex Karp’s book “The Technological Republic.”

Written by Karp and Palantir’s head of corporate affairs, Nicholas Zamiska, “The Technological Republic” was published last year ;and described by its authors as “the beginnings of the articulation of the theory” behind Palantir’s work. (One critic said it was “not a book at all, but a piece of corporate sales material.”)

The company’s ideological bent has come under more scrutiny since then, as tech industry figures have debated Palantir’s work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and as the company has positioned itself as an organization working for the defense of “the West.”

In fact, congressional Democrats recently sent a letter to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security demanding more information about how tools built by Palantir and “a range of surveillance companies” are being used in the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation strategy.

Palantir’s post doesn’t reference much of that context directly, simply saying that it’s providing the summary “because we get asked a lot.” It then suggests that “Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible” and declares that “free email is not enough.”

“The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public,” the company says.

The post is wide-ranging, at one point criticizing a culture that “almost snickers at [Elon] Musk’s interest in grand narrative” and at another point touching on recent debates about the use of artificial intelligence by the military.

“The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose,” Palantir says. “Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.”

Similarly, the company suggests that “the atomic age is ending,” while “a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.”

The post also takes a moment to denounce the “postwar neutering of Germany and Japan,” adding that the “defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price” and that “a similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism” could “threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.”

The post ends by criticizing “the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism.” In Palantir’s argument, a blind devotion to pluralism and inclusivity “glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.”

After Palantir posted this on Saturday, Eliot Higgins, the CEO of the investigative website Bellingcat, dryly remarked that it was “extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement.”

Higgins also argued that there’s more to the post than a simple “defense of the West” — in his view, it’s an attack on what he said are key pillars of democracy that need rebuilding: verification, deliberation, and accountability.

“It’s also worth being clear about who’s doing the arguing,” Higgins wrote. “Palantir sells operational software to defense, intelligence, immigration & police agencies. These 22 points aren’t philosophy floating in space, they’re the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it’s advocating.”

Nothing Can Be Trusted

Is this "real"? Can anything the Dep't. Of "War" claims be believed? We know the "wartime Prez" has his head so far up his ass he has no idea what's going on, will say anything at any time & then contradict it minutes later. His flunkies kept him from interfering in the recent, rather nebulous rescue mission. The "missing airman" or "highly respected Colonel" (Not the same thing: Airmen are enlisted personnel, colonels are commissioned officers.) or both, who knows, have yet to be identified.

Donald Trump, 79, reportedly threw such a tantrum during a fraught rescue operation in Iran that his aides banished him from the room as they were briefed.

Senior administration officials told Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal that the commander-in-chief went into a frenzied state upon learning two airmen were missing when their fighter jet was downed in Iran.

His hours-long tirade became such a hindrance that aides barred him from the room handling the crisis, opting instead to brief him at intervals, officials revealed to the Journal.

Only a sissy would let those punks shove him around like that. Is that what those 77 million cretins voted for, a big fat pantywaist?

First Cult Of Christ, Supremacist

Blasphemy, sacrilege, heresy & hypocrisy, yet no one bats an eye.

His messianic glazing was also key in creating an entire cottage industry of some of
the most heretical products ever produced, including Trump-themed Bibles and, this is true,
knockoff audio books for kids in which a fake Trump voice narrates biblical stories like
Noah’s Ark (“So, there was this guy, Noah, right? Amazing guy, very successful in his field…”)
and the birth of Jesus Christ
(“One day, Mary is visited by the angel Gabriel, top angel, great messenger…”).

As I have been pretty open about my ex-evangelical past and have talked at length about the utility of evangelicalism in creating and supporting MAGA, I heard from a lot of people after the Papa back-and-forth and the Trump/Christ post. Most of the questions shared a similar theme: Is this the moment where Christians finally abandon Trump?

No.

It’s not.

And, before we get to the larger story here, a succinct reason why: evangelicals exist in a reality where they have been taken advantage of by one grifter after another who placed themselves as stand-ins for Christ as they stole their money, preached obvious heresies, and were often found to engage in absolutely sadistic and unspeakable abuses against their parishioners, including children. Trump is familiar to them. Comforting, even. His tenure as the leader of a death cult was made possible by decades of other death cult leaders and he will be far from the last one.

In fact, what we are witnessing right now is a story that has been in the works for a long time. For centuries. Now, as the American Empire begins to buckle and fall, we are likely experiencing the rise of a “new” religion. And its emergence is an integral part of the larger unfolding history of both the fall of America but also the birth of a new order.
