Divorcing the Empire - by Kwiatkowski - (Are you a servant of DaSynagogue of Satan? DSOS? - CL)

 (After you read the article by Karen Kwiatkowski - meet your master of DaUhmerikanEmpire - https://crushlimbraw.blogspot.com/search?q=Synagogue+of+satan&m=1 - CL)

The American contract, a combination of Constitution and myth, is unraveling like the marriage of an unimaginative yet loyal wife who wakes up to find the money gone, eviction imminent, and he loves another.  Further, in a battle for the kids, or any remaining resources, our lying spendthrift plays cards with the judge and drinks with the sheriff, while we are friendless.

This is late stage American empire.  Some citizens still refuse to acknowledge the empire, much less our dead broke, meddling, force-driven and corruption-wracked empire led by fools and grifters.  But a growing number do.......

......The US empire has killed 20 million, and destroyed the livelihoods of many more in the past 70 years. It has created modern fairy tales that allow it to shoot survivors on the high seas, and it views the world through the eyes of the mad, the thieving, and the paranoid.  This empire overwhelmingly funds, fuels, and supports obscene mass murder in Gaza and obscenities in the West Bank, and allocated billions to a destructive and deadly war in Ukraine, both for no reason that it can articulate, other than hatred.  The United States has fully earned the label of terrorist state, and relishes it.

Washington, under any president, will unhesitatingly launch violence at home and abroad.  Today, the coarse bold language of threat emanates from every Washington podium.  The threats are aggressively aimed, trigger-ready, at those who seek to question it. DC treats Venezuelans who resist the empire the same as it does Americans who simply ask questions about it......

.....The Trump administration plans a war or controlled coup for oil and leverage of Caracas – having learned nothing about the impacts and results of their previous dozen attempts to do the same thing around the world.  Their “this time it will be different” claim indicates that these the elite corporate banker imperialists do not live in our world, but they do intend to milk and ultimately sacrifice it.  They will claim in their memoirs it was all an innocent mistake or “they were misinformed.”

We cannot vote to get a “better” president, and the facts bear this out. This reality should not encourage us to vote harder but instead make Americans quietly angry, confidently disobedient, and newly clear-eyed as to the future of this country. Instead of hoping against hope that every election is the most important one, and “our” sorry candidate better than the sorry opposition, let us join the over 100 million Americans who do not vote, and therefore do not consent......

....It shouldn’t be difficult for anyone at this point to decide where they stand, but it does have consequences.  Massie and MTG are ridiculed by the state, and targeted for elimination, as the most exceptional public servants like RFK, Jr and Gabbard are sidelined and internally plotted against.  Rising awareness of assassinations and plots to kill enemies of this state or another is undeniable.  It is clear cause for a dissolution, the right reason to seek and claim liberty, and yet like the divorcing spouse, a cause for some caution.

Is doing basic math a form of violence?  Is refusing to follow the unconstitutional and unwarranted commands of our utterly contemptuous and spineless ruling class violent?   Is pointing out the bankrupt nature of imperial war an act of violence?  Is living our lives in such a way that the state is ancillary or even optional an act of violence? Is pointing our finger at the ridiculousness of the empire an act of violence?

In the coming divorce court, the prosecution and many witnesses will be state fiduciaries, beneficiaries, and criminals.  Justice will be nothing less than the end of our contract with DC, and our collective refusal to fund their crimes or tolerate them ever again.  Americans must repudiate the empire before it literally beats them to death and burns down the house.

IDF Soldiers Working With ICE Agents in the U.S. - LewRockwell

 Whitney Webb is right. America is One Nation Under Blackmail. From the White House to Congress to state governors and legislators to the mainstream media to mega churches and televangelists, they are on the take. And the godfather with the money—our money (and the enforcers to make sure they take the bribes)—is Israel.

From Bill Clinton to Donald Trump and every U.S. president in between (with slight hesitation from Bush Sr.), each of these men has been but a mere pawn and puppet of the Israel lobby. For all intents and purposes, the U.S. president is not Donald Trump (or Joe Biden or Barack Obama or G.W. Bush or Bill Clinton); he is Benjamin Netanyahu—or whoever else might be Israel’s Prime Minister......

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/12/chuck-baldwin/idf-soldiers-working-with-ice-agents-in-the-u-s/ 

.....Again, Whitney Webb is right: We ARE one nation under blackmail.

But it is actually worse than that. Not only are our politicians under Israeli blackmail but more and more frequently, our military and police are under Israeli training and direction.

It is no hyperbole to suggest that virtually every U.S. military operation (including the ones in Venezuela and Ukraine—and obviously the ones all over the Middle East) is conducted in cooperation with and under the guidance of the Israeli government.

Come on, folks! If the Israelis are embedded in our federal police agencies inside the U.S., you know they are embedded inside our U.S. military establishments.

The United States of America has not been an independent nation since the Zionist State of Israel came into existence. And it will not be an independent nation as long as the Zionist State of Israel stays in existence—or perhaps until the Boomers die out and the Millennials and Generation Z permanently cut the umbilical cord between us and the genocidal Zionist state.

All I know is: It cannot happen soon enough.

Model Collapse: The Entire Bubble Economy Is a Hallucination - (Prepare to meet REALITY! - CL)

 The conclusion that soaring asset prices mean the economy is strong is a hallucination that goes unrecognized because the entire financial system is hallucinating.

Consider the data that the financial sector bases conclusions / decisions on (i.e. the data that the financial sector “trains” on) in a Bubble Economy like the present. The Bubble Economy’s core goal is to inflate the valuation of assets not by increasing utility-value or productivity but by artificially expanding credit and leverage.

This benefits those who already own assets, as their collateral (i.e. “wealth”) expands without any effort, and this swelling collateral enables them to borrow money to buy more assets.

This also benefits those with high incomes and modest debt, as these boost their credit rating, enabling them to borrow at lower rates than the bottom 90% of the workforce–credit they can use to outbid the bottom 90% to snap up assets which are soaring in value.

This Bubble Economy dynamic is a self-reinforcing series of iterations: the central bank expands credit and leverage, goosing asset prices higher, which boosts the collateral foundation for further credit expansion. This flood-tide of credit flows to those whose assets are generating more collateral, enabling them to buy more assets and outbid the less creditworthy while also increasing their consumer spending.

Since the top 10% own most of the assets bubbling higher, this “wealth effect” is concentrated in the top 10%, who account for roughly 50% of all consumer spending......

.....The conclusion here is striking: the entirety of the modern world of Progress--urbanized, detached from the "raw" real world in service of convenience and abundance, a world where we "train" our mental models on "cooked," curated, processed artifices--is all a vast, inter-connected, self-reinforcing hallucination bound for a collision with an inconveniently "raw" real world.

The Bubble Economy will be the first point of contact. Prepare accordingly.

The 50-Year Crime Report - (How to destroy a nation - 101 - CL)

They declared war. They launched the first attack. Now, here is the loot. These are the numbers that prove you were robbed.

A heist has a scoreboard. After the robbery, you don’t argue about theories. You count what’s missing.

For fifty years, we’ve been told a story: that your struggle is a personal failure. That the economy is just “evolving.” That the system is broken.

The system is not broken. It was picked clean.

The following numbers are the evidence. This is the financial autopsy of the American Dream.

CRIME #1: THE GREAT WAGE THEFT

• The Promise (1947-1973): Historically, there existed a fundamental agreement between labor and capital, often referred to as the social contract, which dictated that for every 1% increase in the economic value generated by a worker (their productivity), their compensation would also rise by a corresponding 1%. This reciprocal relationship was widely perceived as equitable, ensuring that the benefits of increased efficiency and output were shared fairly between those who contributed their labor and those who provided the means of production. This arrangement fostered a sense of shared prosperity, where workers could reasonably expect their efforts to translate directly into an improved standard of living.
• The Heist (1973-Today): This pivotal agreement, which once promised a fair exchange between labor and reward, was systematically dismantled. The consequences have been stark and undeniable. Since 1973, the productivity of the American worker has soared, demonstrating an increase of over 65%. This remarkable surge in output, a testament to dedication and innovation, has not been met with a commensurate rise in compensation. In sharp contrast, the inflation-adjusted pay for these same workers has stagnated, growing by less than 10% over the same period. This widening chasm between productivity and pay reveals a fundamental shift in the economic landscape, where the gains of increased efficiency are no longer equitably shared, leading to a significant erosion of the American worker’s economic standing.
• The Takedown: They convinced you to work harder, smarter, faster. You did. You delivered 65% more value. And they paid you almost nothing for it. All that extra wealth you created—the trillions of dollars—was stolen directly from your paycheck.

This wasn’t a natural progression of the economy; it was a deliberate strategy, a silent war declared on the American worker. For decades, a systematic dismantling of labor protections, a weakening of unions, and a fervent push for “efficiency” paved the way for this grand heist. Companies reaped record profits, executives received astronomical bonuses, and shareholders saw their portfolios swell, all while the average worker’s wages stagnated or barely kept pace with inflation.

The promise was always the same: if you just pushed a little harder, if you adopted the latest productivity tools, if you embraced the “gig economy,” you would share in the prosperity. But that promise was a mirage. The “trickle-down” never reached the bottom. Instead, the wealth flowed upwards, concentrating in the hands of a select few, leaving the vast majority struggling to keep up with rising living costs, dwindling benefits, and an ever-increasing sense of precarity. The American Dream, once built on the bedrock of fair labor and a path to upward mobility, began to erode, replaced by a new reality where hard work no longer guaranteed a fair share of the bounty. This was the first offensive, and the American worker, unknowingly, bore the brunt of the assault.

CRIME #2: THE CEO PAY EXPLOSION....

....This was not an accident. It was a transfer. The money that should have been in your pocket was moved. The security that should have been yours was dismantled.

The Powell Memo declared the war. The Volcker Shock was the first battle. And these numbers—your stagnant paycheck, their exploding bonuses, your vanished pension—are the territory they conquered.

Hal Turner Radio Show - Manipulation SMASHES Silver Prices - But they Go Back Up Anyway . . .

 The COMEX silver futures market is leveraged anywhere from 100:1 to 300:1 in real metal terms.  Recently, several reliable sources claimed silver is actually at a ratio of 405 paper contracts against each ounce!

There are typically only 80–120 million ounces of registered (deliverable) silver in the entire COMEX warehouse system, yet open interest regularly exceeds 800 million to 1 billion ounces when measured in total contracts.

The entire pricing structure of the world’s silver market is therefore built on a tiny sliver of physical metal backing an ocean of paper claims.

If silver ever broke out and stayed above $60, $75, or $100, the physical delivery demands would explode.

Miners, industrials, jewelers, and investors would stand for delivery in unprecedented size, and the vaults could be drained in weeks.

That would expose the fractional-reserve fraud for what it is and force a settlement at prices multiples higher than today.

The bullion banks cannot allow that contagion to start.  It's all about preserving the current global monetary system that's run & controlled by a few elite bankers.....

https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/manipulation-smashes-silver-prices-but-they-go-back-up-anyway 

....Keeping silver suppressed is literally a systemic risk issue for them.

But while the bullion banks defend the $60 level like its the Alamo, silver continues to relentlessly grind higher every time China opens. 

Forget the COMEX and the globex this afternoon and Sunday night. 

Keep an eye on Shanghai when trading resumes next week.  If China pushes the price of silver to $62 or $63, the bullion banks won't have enough fingers to stick in the dam to prevent the flood of silver demand from overwhelming their suppression schemes.

Making Sense of the "Silver Glitch" - Rubino

 

The “China Drain” is Real

While Western traders were staring at blank screens in Chicago, the real alarm bells were ringing in Shanghai well before that.

For the last year, we have tracked a massive migration of physical metal from West to East. But that flow reached a critical breaking point.

• Shanghai silver inventories have just collapsed to decade lows.

Look at this chart. It is arguably the most important graphic in the commodities market right now:

The supply squeeze in China keeps tightening. This is critical because China is the epicenter of industrial demand.

Is A Backdoor Gold Standard Coming? | ZeroHedge

 For decades, I’ve been vexed over a monetary issue. How can we transition from the present fiat money system to a sound-money standard like we once had in the United States and the world?....

.....Recent trends in gold and silver prices provide a strong hint that we could be slouching our way toward hard money in any case, with or without official planning.

Both gold and silver are experiencing a stunning renaissance. You would have to be naive not to observe the significance of these moves. These trends amount to a vote of confidence in the real over the financial fictions of the fiat world.....

https://www.zerohedge.com/precious-metals/backdoor-gold-standard-coming 

.....This is the first time since the 1970s. The timing is significant because this took place when the world economy was locked down and suffering from pandemic-related attacks.

Another crucial fact: more banks are today accepting gold and silver as collateral for dollar-based loans. This is a form of backdoor monetization. It is a small step for a liquid and portable metal to serve as money, with on and off ramps being provided by the banks themselves. Gold is already allowed to be used this way, and silver is on the way toward this status.

"Widespread Misconduct": Trump Admin Orders All Beneficiaries Of Nation's Largest DEI Program To Surrender Financial Records | ZeroHedge

 Everyone in the DC consulting world understands how the game works: set up a compliant 8(a) "small business," win the no-bid award, and let the big consulting firms do all the work.

8(a) was DC's best-kept secret - until journalist James O'Keefe blew the lid off the DEI program. O'Keefe went undercover and captured video of an individual linked to ATI Government Solutions bragging about keeping $65 million of a $100 million contract while subcontracting out the work.

It's the BECAUSE That Gets You - Vox Popoli - "Stop explaining yourself!"

 Stop explaining yourself.

I can’t stress this enough. If you don’t want to look like a moron on a regular basis, if you don’t want to force others to have to conclude you are stupid, for the love of all that is Good and Beautiful and True, stop explaining yourself, your reasons, your decisions, and your actions.

Seriously, just stop. Consider the word “because” a period. Stop right there. When you hear yourself saying it, let it be your signal to end the sentence right there.

First, nobody cares. If they want to know your reasons, they will ask you for them. And be aware that if they are asking for them, there is a very good chance they are looking to argue with you, dispute your position, or at least convince you to change your mind.......

https://voxday.net/2025/12/06/its-the-because-that-gets-you/ 

......So just speak your mind. Don’t justify your opinion, because if you’re like most people, you can’t do so in a competent manner capable of surviving an intelligent critique. You have your right to your opinion, however insane or stupid or justified it might be, so simply rest content with that.

Here’s how people know that you’re part of the greater retardery in which we are engulfed. When you explain yourself, and then your explanation is conclusively demonstrated to be substantively false in some way, you do not change your position. This informs your interlocutor that there is nothing inside and there is no point in attempting to engage with you on the dialectical level.

At the Tournament - by Vox Day - Sigma Game - "Most women don't understand what men need"

 Every man needs a cheerleader. Most women don’t understand the concept of what properly supporting a man actually entails. A man doesn’t need a coach, an editor, or a style consultant, and he most definitely doesn’t need a critic. Men need cheerleaders, women who support their team no matter what the score is, no matter how the team is playing, and above all, who wear short skirts.

Women need to remember that morale over time is the most important aspect of performance. And while there are times and places that coaching, editing, style consulting, and even criticism are necessary, none of it can come at the expense of a man’s morale.

Nothing can, or will be accomplished if a man becomes demoralized. Every sports coach knows that no amount of yelling can improve a player who has been broken. That’s why you see even the harshest, most critical disciplinarians suddenly turning into Deepak Chopra when their players are at their worst. That is why the cheerleader role is the woman’s most important role in every male-female relationship.......
