Just wanted to let everyone know that Jon Rappaport reinstated the comment I made to his blog. In the past my comments have been posted right away. This one took hours. A change of heart...? A mistake...?

The Military Industrial Medical Complex has created the worst possible world so the least number of people can enjoy the greatest amount of wealth.

And what is wealth? Or should I say what is their idea of wealth? What makes a soul so empty that there is not enough money in the world to fill it? These people are black holes of need. They aid and abet each other and normalize their corruption and mix the putrid ooze of their goals into something that can only rot further.

There needs to be a clean sweep, but how? When everyone everywhere has been bought and paid for, what do you do? It doesn’t matter what part of the political spectrum you belong to, it is corrupt and has sunk into madness.

As you point out, fear is the basis of it all. Greed is only fear of not having enough. Fear of death from some mysterious disease is only the fear of being truly alive.

The rulers have always been corrupt since the dawn of civilization. “Power corrupts…” But now the corruption is no longer being hidden. Have we reached peak corruption? Has the pendulum swung to the extreme of the arc? If so, then things are going to get better. Unfortunately, not immediately, but the pendulum does swing back the other way.

Yeah ok. Good reads. But you totally ignore what is actually happening “at the border.” We are being invaded. And it is being allowed to happen. As part of the infiltration of the country and the destruction of our country. Courtesy of Obummer and his minions, the US Chamber of Commerce, the entire Democratic Party, 2/3s of the Republican Party. Paid for by US tax dollars and other money stolen from the middle class. We are in essence funding our own destruction.

Last point. None of this would be possible without the NGOs who feed at the government trough and provide transport, housing, food, phones, medical care to all the illegals. The two biggest culprits. Lutheran Charities and Catholic Charities. So hey, for all you pious Catholics out there, ya know that 2nd offering they take for “charitable work?” Most of that goes right to Catholic Charities. So not only are your tax dollars funding the invasion, your second offering on Sunday is facilitating the same. In essence, you are aiding and abetting. Maybe you oughta consider that the next time the plate comes down your pew.

You deal here with subjects I don't know much about.

As far as "Left" versus "Right," they seem to be riding a carousel put there by some unknown force. The Dems were pro-slavery during the Civil War, then pro-civil-rights before the Vietnam War, then started the Vietnam War, which specialized in killing and maiming young black men. The Republicans were anti-slavery during the Civil War, but supported by big business who tried to break organized labor and is still trying, then assisted in domestic terror operations that justified several wars in the Middle East and adjacent areas.

So we can't depend on political labels to tell us about real alliances, and that seems to be the case with "alternative" journalism, too. I have heard UFO guys complain that the CIA intrudes into the life of every significant researcher and pollutes their data with fabricated information. I mostly trust sources that don't rely on "reliable insiders" for my cleanest information, though I monitor others as well.

My best sources have not been looking at the border situation. What is obvious is that there has been a huge demand generated by both criminals and legitimate sources to live in the United States. This demand has helped to create a rather large network of human traffickers, as there is no way our government could properly process the volume of people who want to come here. The traffickers get paid by potential immigrants to get them to or across the border. But they will only go through with this if there is demand inside the country, too. That's my understanding, anyway.

The wall is a simplistic - probably mostly symbolic - handling for the problem. I remember seeing an old sociology study once that stated that putting up a fence around your property will tend to deter entry even if the fence is relatively easy to break through. It is because the fence communicates that the property owner cares about that boundary. All the resulting police activity, though, sounds like busywork. The border patrol does not have the resources it needs to actually reduce the demand for cross-border human trafficking. And we can assume that there is sufficient corruption at higher levels to prevent them from ever achieving that.

I have been reading a book set during the time of the "great war" in India. This war was waged between rival factions of the same ruling family. I then noticed an African journalist who compared the war in Ukraine to that ancient war! I thought it was very fitting observation. And in some ways it reflects every human war or conflict here on Earth. All mankind basically belongs to one "family" right? But in the case of ancient India, the two sides were cousins and spoke the same language. Very similar to the situation in Ukraine.

I have also recently been viewing some videos by an independent journalist named Patrick Lancaster who is on the ground in Mariupol using his smart phone to record scenes and interviews with Ukrainians trapped there as well as some Russian troops who are providing some measure of aid and protection to civilians. In one video, where he interviewed civilians living in basements and bunkers, all the civilians blamed the Ukrainian military for the civilian casualties. They even found evidence of Ukrainian soldiers shedding their clothes and impersonating civilians in an effort to survive the Russian invasion. This the level of deceit that goes on in wartime. Most civilians were not sure which side was shelling their buildings. But they had to guess that it was Ukrainians, as the Russians had not arrived in the area yet, and the local pro-Russian militias also seemed to be missing. It is an extremely sad scene, and fairly easy to blame the wrong side for the death and destruction.

From Michael Crichton's 2004 book, "State of Fear" (which I didn't really like).

"In the old days — before your time, Peter — citizens of the West believed their nation-states were dominated by something called the military-industrial complex. Eisenhower warned Americans against it in the 1960s, and after two world wars Europeans knew very well what it meant in their own countries. But the military-industrial complex is no longer the primary driver of society. In reality, for the last fifteen years we have been under the control of an entirely new complex, far more powerful and far more pervasive. I call it the politico-legal-media complex. The PLM. And it is dedicated to promoting fear in the population—under the guise of promoting safety.” “Safety is important.”

"Please. Western nations are fabulously safe. Yet people do not feel they are, because of the PLM. And the PLM is powerful and stable, precisely because it unites so many institutions of society. Politicians need fears to control the population. Lawyers need dangers to litigate, and make money. The media need scare stories to capture an audience. Together, these three estates are so compelling that they can go about their business even if the scare is totally groundless. If it has no basis in fact at all."

Crichton died of fast growing cancer in 2008.

A pox on both their houses, with few exceptions like Thomas Massie and Ron Johnson.

Thank you for both articles. Excellent. BTW, I just happen to live in San Diego County and have worked for a couple of owners of the SD Union (on their very expensive/rare cars) and they were all way-too-rich assholes. Keep writing.

Lawlessness is the underlying principle of most past and present presidents going back through Johnson. Trump stepped up in simplistic ways to help with the border, far more than any of the previous presidents back to Eisenhower. But it is clear, by what s.h. has noted by his experience living near the border, that the boosting of power of CBP to violate 4th Amendment rights has done nothing but weaken and compromise their actual purpose to protect Americans from illegal aliens by enforcing the law of the land.

The CBP does NOT enforce U.S. law. They obey the president and their bosses to do their bidding. They may call themselves sworn officers of the law, but as soon as they compromised their oath to obey an illegal order that violates the U.S. law, they are just hired thugs, doing the bidding of other hired thugs.

At this moment, back to the beginning of Biden's administration when he declared he would no longer deport illegal aliens and welcomed all who came, he committed treason against these United States with malice and aforethought. He authorized an invasion of foreigners into this nation by the millions. All the Congress and Court that went along with his lawless and treasonous action also committed treason and violated their oaths of office, making all of them traitors. Only MTG has called for the impeachment of Biden and she was cancelled and stripped of any committee positions.

But so many dare not even call what he has done as illegal, and fewer will call it a crime, and almost no one will call an impeachable offence, almost none dare call it treason.

Oh, Kyle, I feel for you and your neighbors along the border . . . what a nightmare! I, too, appreciate your writing and hope you'll continue offering it to us.

The entire border situation is a lie from the beginning. How many people reading this have heard that "migrants" come north from the Darien Gap in Panama, not on foot but by BUS, and that they're housed in State-Department-funded way stations? And how many know that they're issued UN debit cards paid for by American taxpayers? Blinken and Mayorkas traveled to Panama a week or so ago (in four helicopters, mind you), supposedly to visit the Darien Gap, though they actually went to a more user-friendly location.

Michael Yon reports on the situation here (https://michaelyon.com/) and here (https://michaelyon.locals.com/member/MichaelYon), while Sam Faddis has written about it here (https://andmagazine.substack.com/p/debit-cards-for-illegals-how-you?s=r). It's a sham and a scam beyond imagining, and all those migrants will need to be fed in the U.S. at a time when the food-chain itself is being torpedoed every which way . . .

I am still speechless at General Butler. How many must see American through his viewpoint!

Good piece, Kyle. It is always wise to look at the "leaders" as mere puppets of the master manipulators. The "leaders" are groomed for their positions and do only what they are told. Once in a while, one may break through their deep programming and soon thereafter sport concrete shoes. Others simple fulfill their "CONtract" and either fade into obscurity or *also* meet the pavement under the wheels of a very large bus.

We in our lifetimes may not see the end of this millennia-long con job. But we can question, sift for clues, and make some often *spot-on* observations. It remains to be seen how man other people are willing to do the same.

This nation is finished. It’s been X’d out by two eclipses, the first was a few years ago, the other side of the X comes in 2024. I’m too lazy to give more detail. I suspect we’ve seen our last presidential election. Some of you know what I’m referring to.

God uses eclipses as signs to the people who have eyes to see them.

America just got slashed out.

Interesting thing I just thought of. A DARPA website named deagle had population numbers for the USA drop by over 80% in 2024. This info was posted on their website back in 2017, and I’ve been wracking my brain wondering what they know that I don’t. Once the pandemic hit, I assumed the deaths would be associated with the jabs. I suppose they still could, but 80% population reduction is a boat load of people. Those bastards know what’s coming.

Disturbing to think that Jon has caved to the dark side after years of journalistic integrity. Deleting your comment seems suss too. Maybe he’s having a ‘seniors’ moment? 🤷‍♀️
