□ [“Viktor Orbán Speaks Inconvenient Truth: ‘Russia Cannot be Defeated Because it is a Nuclear Power’"]

Just a thought, but it's tough to defeat Russia as long as the conflict is taking place outside Russia.  It's just not that common to defeat a nation if you're not in that nation, at least in a war.  Sure, there are exceptions.  Maybe Ukraine should ask the Taliban for advice.  Or Russia should ask Joe Biden.

Ukraine could have been a nuclear power too.  For that matter, it was a nuclear power, but for some reason decided to give that up.  It's also more problematic to defeat a nation that can go nuclear any time they think that's the only option.  It's sort of like a self-defense mechanism that way.  You don't tell people to give up their last line of self defense, unless you're a Ukraine supporter.  Just ignore the Constitution.

What you can do is overthrow the government.  Just announce that you don't care what the voters want, you're going to put your people in charge and they just have to obey.  You know, like the US did to Ukraine in 2014.  You never hear Ukraine supporters complain about that.

At any point they could have said 'this was a bad idea' and publicly announce that they regretted doing it.  Not sure it would have helped, especially considering how long they waited, but it might have done something, and would have at least been the decent thing to do.  Instead, they refuse to listen to Alcoholics Anonymous and think they've fixed a problem without even admitting that they have a problem.

I do at least try to look for other options, indications that things aren't going the way they seem.  The government obviously imposed this ESG tyranny on everybody, and across the board in regulations.  Is it possible that a big company like Anheiser volunteered to damage itself by pissing off the customers?  No way to know if that's the case, and it probably isn't, but there is a chance.

This is another example of the government making all the decisions.  Technically the companies are private but there's no real difference.  They have to obey because of all the endless regulations.  Stockholders and customers are the least important part of the equation.  Manufacturing, production, investment, it's all about making a product nobody actually wants.  It's like Disney was producing Obamacare.

□ [“Trump Predicts He Will Be Indicted Again…. Indictment Has Been Returned"]

They just keep on going with the banana republic, even as more comes out that Biden is actively more involved in a lot more criminal schemes for a lot longer than Trump.  I don't even bother to follow the Trump stuff, it's just the same fake accusations they've been throwing for years and at some point a judge will be ordered to find him guilty and sentenced to life, if not to death.

This may explain why Biden has suddenly started pretending he has a seventh grandchild who never existed before.  They need to make it look like he actually pays attention to his family when he's not getting paid for it.  He and Hunter already insisted that they never talked about business and Biden had nothing to do with it, but now we hear that Hunter literally called his father during business meetings at least 20 times.  So Biden probably needs to act like he just randomly calls all of his relatives on a regular basis.

How much of this is a distraction and how much is about expanding the tyranny?  No idea, but it wouldn't surprise me if these things happen regularly in a banana republic, especially in the first few years as they need to remove any opponents.  Before long, it might be illegal to criticize the government or Biden.

□ [“Missouri Democrat Party Openly Calls to Burn Down Homes of Trump Supporters"]

They've already been at war with us for many years.  I always cite mid-November 2004 as when I realized it, but that's what they're after.  They didn't have the guts to go for actual combat and it would have interfered with stealing power, but now they have their ground troops like antifa and BLM, not to mention foreign agents with complete access to the country.

If I had the authority, I would send agents to burn down this Democrat's house, just to make sure he goes through what he wants to do to others.  It is possible that within a couple days, he'll be saying that he *actually* meant something completely different and it's only these mindless conservatives who thought he really meant burning people's houses down.  But we might also be past the point where he doesn't have to say that, he wants violence and everybody knows it.  He's even surrounded by people who agree with him.  They want this war.

It's another example of why we need a resistance movement, for protection, security and striking back against these tyrants.  I hope the citizen whose house is now threatened openly responds to the Democrat official, 'I have the right to do to you what you've threatened to do to me.  You started it.'  We can't put up with this any longer.

Gov’t Admits Millions of Unemployed People Were Not Counted in Latest Job Stats
August 1, 2023

As July ended, the Barbie movie was less than $11 million away from making as much money as Indiana Jones and the new Tom Cruise movie combined.  Barbie had only been out for 11 days, the other two had been out for 32/20 days respectively.  We kept hearing that the Tom Cruise movie was great and would be a big hit, even from people who thought it hilarious that Indiana Jones was collapsing.

It shows how bad movies are doing, Barbie is already the third biggest movie of the year.  Indiana Jones comes in at #10.  Even Ant-Man 3 comes in at #7.  If the annual top-ten is mostly composed of complete bombs, it's not a good year.  There's very little in the way of actual hits and most that do come in as successful just cost a lot less to make.

I remember when it was outrageous that Terminator 2 cost $100 million to make, but at least that was a huge hit, probably close to Barbie if you count inflation.  Different movies have different excuses but I really think it comes down to people refusing to spend money to see this crap.  The economy is bad enough without having to pay to sit through lectures on how horrible the audience is.

It's also why I think the timing was deliberate for the strikes by the writers and actors.  Very few people are on their side and everyone else can point to the ridiculous propaganda these people are in.  There's an amusing conflict going on about rich and famous actors are still out acting in movies right now.  Independent studios, the union doesn't care, but anybody else who tries to get money to pay rent or buy food will be punished.  Even if they're not in the union now, they may consider joining in the future and they'll be blacklisted.

At least you can understand a girl's obsession with Barbie and the effective use of propaganda to make a hit movie out of that.  The rest of these people are ridiculous.  Comic book fans have long had to deal with the mindless obsession with superheroes and now those have taken over most of Hollywood.  They're their own villains.
