Boom! Also, how did he get on the roof? And he lives 3 hours away, so he never cased the place, he just drove there and made it happen? And where did he get this Mauser 30-odd-6 from, from 1950.
This is what evil hates!

1 example lately. We all know that B vitamin are critical for nerve health…but the new meme is “neuropathy has nothing to do with B vitamins”. Just like in the jabbing phase, JAMA said stop taking aspirin as it will not help your heart and maybe hurt it.
Shame on them. Damn them to hell.

Make sure you don’t question the Zionists, might be a 30-Odd-6 in there for ya.

Uygur is an asshole of major proportions, and his whole organization. This is the reality of the real 1890’s young Turks…..
The original Young Turks were Ottoman reformers who overthrew absolutism, promoted modernization and nationalism, but whose later leadership was marked by authoritarianism, war, and atrocities that still shape their historical legacy.
stock here, we knew it was bad, but this shows an absurd level of bad. The US Gov being used and complicit in the largest child trafficking events ever seen in history. Pure evil. And how many “went along with it”?
Let’s hope most of these poor kids can be found and helped, but so far it’s only 22,000 of 470,000 (that we know of). Thats only 4.7%, so I hope they can ramp up the efforts. The intentionally bad and missing paperwork, is itself a crime.
The commentators at American Thinker really get it.
Under Joe Biden, or whoever was running the country between 2021 and 2024, over 470,000 unaccompanied migrant children waltzed into the country. Many of these kids promptly vanished into a bureaucratic black hole. Since then, in a move both heroic and horrifyingly necessary, the Trump administration has located over 22,000 of these kids, arrested 400 traffickers, and uncovered the grim reality that 27 children met tragic ends through murder, overdose, or suicide. Yes, Epstein’s operation was a master class in depravity, but Biden’s border policies might just take the cake, and it’s a moldy, taxpayer-funded one at that.
stock here: h/t Cuttlefish, Kirk was getting a lot of airplay just lately. Its FaF that the shooter left behind cartridge’s with “trans” etched into them. Seems like both misdirection and amplifying of hate to me.
And the Demoncrats double down on hatred “he had it coming to him”. We are at a moment in history.

Elena, who is retired and living in Los Angeles, currently has stage 4 cancer and is on chemotherapy. Though she still qualifies for the vaccine, her 59-year-old husband apparently will not.
“Would my vaccination protect me if the person I live with gets sick? Possibly not,” she said. “And my chemo is incompatible with the only available treatment for Covid. It seems obvious that household members of immune-suppressed patients should also be eligible.”
Tammy Hansen, a 61-year-old librarian from Illinois, shares similar concerns of infecting a vulnerable loved one with the virus. She is about to become the caretaker for her 85-year-old mother following a major cancer surgery and ongoing chemotherapy.
“I want the vaccine so I can double protect her from getting Covid,” Hansen said. “My husband is 79 and I also worry about transmitting Covid to him.”
She added: “I swear if I get Covid and give it to my mom and she dies, I’ll be taking some kind of action. These fuckers are nuts.”

stock here: below is a Gemini created partial transcript summary.
This transcript is a continuation of the Senate hearing with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary. It covers a range of topics including agricultural regulations, drug price transparency, organ transplant reform, the politicization of COVID-19, and the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines. The tone remains highly contentious, with senators from both parties expressing strong opinions and clashing with Secretary Kennedy.
The key points of the latter part of the hearing include:
- Senator Grassley questions Kennedy about his past promise not to regulate farming. Kennedy reassures him that HHS is working closely with the agricultural community. Grassley also asks about requiring drug companies to disclose prices in TV ads and expresses concern about reports of “transplant line skipping” and illegal organ harvesting. Kennedy responds that HHS has launched a major investigation and is reorganizing the organ procurement industry.
- Senator Cornin questions Kennedy about the high cost and low outcomes of the U.S. healthcare system, arguing that simply spending more money isn’t the solution. Kennedy agrees, stating the U.S. has some of the worst health outcomes despite high spending. He cites rising rates of chronic diseases and infant mortality as evidence of the system’s failure.
- Senator Bennett and Senator Cassidy both challenge Kennedy on his appointments to the CDC’s advisory panel on vaccines (ASIP). They accuse him of replacing qualified scientists with “anti-vaxers” and conspiracy theorists. Kennedy denies this, claiming he is de-politicizing the panel and putting “great scientists” on it. The senators quote some of Kennedy’s appointees who have made controversial statements about vaccine safety, which Kennedy either denies or agrees with. The debate becomes heated, with both sides accusing the other of lying and misrepresenting the facts.
- Senator Cantwell echoes the concerns about Kennedy’s stance on vaccines, stating that she represents a science-based state. She praises mRNA technology and Operation Warp Speed, questioning why Kennedy canceled $500 million in related research. Kennedy defends the cancellation, saying the research was for upper respiratory infections and that he is focusing on different health priorities. Cantwell also accuses Kennedy of perpetrating hoaxes and undermining the healthcare system.
- Senator Warner expresses disbelief at Kennedy’s testimony, particularly his statements that he doesn’t know how many Americans died from COVID-19 or if vaccines prevented deaths. Warner accuses Kennedy of being “ignorant” of basic data and not understanding the real-world impact of his policies, such as the closing of rural hospitals.
- Senator Langford offers a brief comment, expressing support for Kennedy’s work on the “one big beautiful bill” and its $50 billion investment in rural hospitals.
Names Supporting Kennedy
- Senator Grassley: He expressed gratitude for Kennedy’s work, specifically for having the CMS fill the open slots for the rural community hospital demonstration program. He also thanks Kennedy for addressing the program’s underutilization and for a major investigation into organ harvesting.
- President Trump: Mentioned as the leader of the administration and the person who made a “steadfast commitment to make America healthy again.” Kennedy attributes the achievements of HHS to Trump’s leadership and says he “absolutely” deserves a Nobel Prize for Operation Warp Speed.
- Senator Cornin: He agrees with Kennedy that throwing money at healthcare is not the answer and provides Kennedy with a platform to explain his alternative approach.
- Senator Langford: He expresses support for the “one big beautiful bill” and the $50 billion it allocates for rural hospitals, noting that hospitals in his state of Oklahoma are looking forward to the funding.
- Brook Rollins: An individual with whom Kennedy says he is working “very, very closely” to ensure the administration’s agenda is consistent with the agricultural community’s.
Names Attacking Kennedy
- Senator Widen: As the ranking member, he was the primary critic, accusing Kennedy of causing a “healthcare calamity,” elevating “conspiracy theorists,” and putting children in harm’s way with anti-vaccine policies. He was also the one who requested to have Kennedy sworn in as a witness, an unusual and public sign of mistrust.
- Senator Alsobrook: Mentioned as being in partnership with Senator Widen’s staff to release a report on what they consider the “disaster” of Kennedy’s first 203 days in office.
- Susan Monarez: The former CDC director who wrote an op-ed accusing Kennedy of telling her to approve the recommendations of an anti-vaccine advisory panel. Kennedy called her a liar in response.
- Senator Canwell: Noted by Senator Widen as having joined his effort to raise alarm about Kennedy’s actions. She accuses Kennedy of being a “charlatan” and undermining science and technology.
- Senator Bennett: He challenges Kennedy on his appointments to the ASIP panel and quotes the controversial statements of his new appointees. He accuses Kennedy of putting children’s health at risk and creating confusion.
- Dr. Robert Malone: One of the people Kennedy appointed to the ASIP panel. Senator Bennett accuses him of claiming the mRNA vaccine “causes a form of AIDS” and “can damage children’s brains, heart, immune system, and their ability to have children in the future.”
- Dr. Levy: Another new member of the ASIP panel, quoted by Senator Bennett as saying “Evidence is mounting and indisputable that mRNA vaccines cause serious harm, including death, especially among young people.” Kennedy agrees with this statement.
- Senator Cassidy: He expresses concern about Kennedy’s conflicting statements about Operation Warp Speed and his past lawsuits against vaccine makers. He questions why Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA vaccine contracts. He also questions Kennedy’s views on conflicts of interest, pointing out that some of his new appointees have been paid witnesses in lawsuits against vaccine makers.
- Eric Ericson: A conservative from Atlanta, Georgia, whose email is submitted for the record by Senator Cassidy. The email expresses concern that his wife, who has stage four lung cancer, cannot get the COVID-19 vaccine due to the “mess at HHS.”
- Senator Warner: He expressed disbelief and outrage at Kennedy’s lack of knowledge about key health statistics, such as the number of COVID-19 deaths. He accuses Kennedy of being “ignorant” and out of touch with the reality of rural healthcare.
- Tom Cotton: Mentioned by Senator Warner in a sarcastic tone, implying that he (Cotton) might be one of the people who trusts Kennedy’s “health advice” over a doctor’s.
- Jeffrey Epstein: Mentioned by Senator Widen to imply Kennedy is not a “protector of children,” as Kennedy had reportedly flown on Epstein’s private jet on multiple occasions.

“Based on a Substack by James Lyon-Weller, Dr. KP Stoller delivers a point-by-point, evidence-focused rebuttal to the September 3 HHS “Secretary Kennedy Must” resignation letter, exposing logical fallacies, equivocation, appeal-to-authority, guilt by association, and misuse of tragedy. Aimed at public health professionals, this 8-minute video follows the script verbatim, uses Dr. Stoller’s narration, and includes clean subtitles with an outline for clarity.

Popular Rationalism
The Most Dramatic Narrative Shift in Modern History
Originally published at the Brownstone Institute site, written by Jeffrey A. Tucker. February 8, 2025. Republished on Popular Rationalism with permission.
Feb 14, 2025
The most dramatic narrative shift in this post-lockdown period has been the flip in the perceptions of government itself. For decades and even centuries, government was seen as the essential bulwark to defend the poor, empower the marginalized, realize justice, even the playing field in commerce, and guarantee rights to all.
Government was the wise manager, curbing the excess of populist enthusiasm, blunting the impact of ferocious market dynamics, guaranteeing the safety of products, breaking up dangerous pockets of wealth accumulation, and protecting the rights of minority populations. That was the ethos and the perception.
Taxation itself was sold to the population for centuries as the price we pay for civilization, a slogan emblazoned in marble at the DC headquarters of the IRS and attributed to Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., who said this in 1904, ten years before the federal income tax was even legal in the US.
This claim was not just about a method of funding; it was a commentary on the perceived merit of the whole of the public sector.
Yes, this view had challengers on the right and left but their radical critiques rarely took hold of the public mind in a sustained way.
A strange thing happened in 2020.
Most governments at all levels across the globe turned on their people. It was a shock because governments had never before attempted anything this audacious. It claimed to be exercising mastery over the whole of the microbial kingdom, the world over. It would prove this implausible mission as a valid one with the release of a magic potion made and distributed with its industrial partners who were fully indemnified against liability claims.
Suffice it to say that the potion did not work. Everyone got Covid anyway. Most everyone shook it off. Those who died were often denied common therapeutics to make way for a shot that clocked the highest rate of injury and death on public record. A worse fiasco would be hard to invent outside dystopian fiction.
Participating in this grand crusade were all the commanding heights. That included mass media, academia, the medical industry, the information systems, and science itself. After all, the very notion of “public health” itself implies a “whole of government” and a “whole of society” effort. Indeed, science – with its high status earned from many centuries of achievement – led the way.
The politicians – the people for whom the public votes and who form the one real connection that the people have with the regimes under which they live – went along but did not seem to be in the driver’s seat. Nor did the courts seem to have much role. They were closed along with small businesses, schools, and houses of worship.
The controlling forces in every nation traced to something else we did not normally think of as government. It was the administrators who occupied agencies that were deemed independent of public awareness or control. They worked closely with their industrial partners in tech, pharma, banking, and corporate life.
The Constitution did not matter. Neither did the long tradition of rights, liberty, and law. The workforce was divided between essential and nonessential in order to survive the great emergency. The essential people were the ruling class plus the workers who serve them. Everyone else was deemed unessential to social functioning.
It was supposed to be for our health – government merely looking after us – but this claim lost credibility quickly, as mental and physical health plummeted. Desperate loneliness replaced community. Loved ones were forcibly separated. The aged died alone with digital funerals. Weddings and worship were cancelled. Gyms were closed and then opened later only for the masked and the vaxxed. The arts died. Substance abuse skyrocketed because while everything else was closed the liquor stores and pot shops were open for business.
Here was when perceptions dramatically changed. Government was not what we thought. It is something else. It does not serve the public. It serves its own interests. Those interests are deeply woven into the fabric of industry and civil society. The agencies are captured. The largesse flows mainly to the well-connected.
The bills are paid by the people who had been deemed nonessential and who were now being compensated for the troubles with direct payments that were created by a printing press. Within a year, this showed up in the form of inflation that dramatically reduced real income during an economic crisis.
This huge experiment in pharmacological planning ended up flipping the rubrical narrative that had largely covered public affairs for everyone’s lifetimes. The terrible reality was being broadcast to the whole population in ways no one had ever before experienced. Centuries of philosophy and rhetoric were being shredded before our eyes, as whole populations came face-to-face with the unthinkable: government had become a grand scam or even criminal enterprise, a machinery that served only elite plans and elite institutions.
As it turns out, generations of ideological philosophizing had been chasing fictional rabbits. This is true for all the main debates about socialism and capitalism but also the side debates about religion, demographics, climate change, and so much more. Nearly everyone had been distracted from seeing the things that matter by hunting for things that did not actually matter.Subscribe
This realization transversed typical partisan and ideological boundaries. Those who did not like to think about issues of class conflict had to face the ways in which the whole system was serving one class at the expense of everyone else. The cheerleaders of government beneficence faced the unthinkable: their true love had become malevolent. The champions of private enterprise had to deal with the ways in which private corporations participated and benefited from the entire fiasco. All major political parties and their journalistic backers participated.
No one’s ideological priors were confirmed in the course of events, and everyone was forced to realize that the world worked in a very different way from what we had been told. Most governments in the world had come to be controlled by people no one elected and these administrative forces were loyal not to voters but to industrial interests in media and pharma, while the intellectuals we had long trusted to say what is true went along with even the craziest of claims, while condemning dissent.
Making matters more confusing, no one in charge of this disaster would admit error or even explain their thinking. The burning questions were and are so voluminous as to be impossible to list in full. In the US, there was supposed to be a Covid commission but it never formed. Why? Because the critics far outweighed the apologists, and a public commission proved too risky.
Too much truth could get out, and then what would happen? Behind the public health rationale for the destruction, there was a hidden hand: national security interests rooted in the bioweapons industry that has long lived under a classified cover. This is likely what accounts for the strange taboo concerning this whole topic. Those who know cannot say while the rest of us who have been researching this for years are left with more questions than answers.
While we wait for a full accounting of how it is that rights and liberties were crushed worldwide – what Javier Milei has called a “crime against humanity” – there is no denying the reality on the ground. There was certain to be a blowback, the ferocity of which would only intensify the longer justice is delayed.
For several years, the world had awaited the political, economic, cultural, and intellectual fallout, while the perpetrators held on hoping that the whole subject would just go away. Forget about Covid, they kept saying to us, and yet the sheer size and scale of the calamity would not go away.
We live in the midst of that now, with minute-by-minute revelations of where the money went and who precisely was involved. Multiple trillions were squandered as the people’s standard of living took a dive, and now top among the burning questions is: who got the money? Careers are being wrecked as famous anti-corporate crusaders like Bernie Sanders turn out to be the US Senate’s largest single beneficiary of pharma largesse, exposed for the world.
The Sanders story is just one data point of millions. The news of the sheer number of rackets is spilling out like an avalanche minute-by-minute. The newspapers we thought were chronicling public life turned out to be on the take. The fact-checkers were always working for the blob. The censors were only protecting themselves. The inspectors we believed were keeping an eye out were always in on the game. The courts keeping tabs on government overreach were enabling it. The bureaucracies tagged to implement legislation were unchecked and unelected legislatures in themselves.
The shift is beautifully illustrated by USAID, a $50 billion agency that claimed to be doing humanitarian work but which was really a slush fund for regime change, deep-state operations, censorship, and NGO graft on a scale never before seen. Now we have the receipts. The entire agency, lording over the globe like an unchecked colossus for decades, seems destined for the trash heap.
And so on it goes.
Frequently overlooked in all the commentary on our times is how the second Trump administration is Republican in name only but mostly consists of refugees from the other party. Tick through the names (Trump, Vance, Musk, Kennedy, Gabbard, and so on) and you find people who only a few years ago were associated with the Democratic Party.
Which is to say that this aggressive rooting out of the deep state is being achieved by what is a de facto third party aimed at overthrowing the establishments of the legacy ones. And this is not just in the US: the same dynamic is taking shape throughout the industrialized world.
The entire system of government – properly conceived of not as a democratically elected conduit of the peoples’ interest but instead a complicated and unelected network of unfathomable industrial racketeering with a ruling class at the controls – seems to be unraveling before our eyes.
It’s like the old episodes of Scooby-Doo when the scary ghost or mysterious specter has the mask removed and it is the town mayor all along, who then proclaims that he would have gotten away with it but for these meddling kids.
The meddling kids now include vast swaths of the world’s population, burning with a passionate desire to clean up the public sector, expose the industrial scams, unearth all the secrets that have been kept for decades, put power back into the hands of the people as the liberal age promised long ago, while seeking justice for all the wrongdoing of these last hellish five years.
The Covid operation was an audacious global attempt to deploy all the power of government – in all the directions from and to which it flowed – in service of a goal never before attempted in history. To say that it failed is the understatement of the century. What it did was unleash fires of fury the world over, and whole legacy systems are in the process of burning down.
How deep is the corruption? There are no words to describe its breadth and depth.
Who is regretting this? It’s the legacy news media, the legacy academic establishment, the legacy corporate establishment, the legacy public-sector agencies, the legacy everything, and this regret knows no partisan or ideological bounds.
And who is celebrating this or, at least, enjoying the upheaval and cheering it on? It’s the independent media, the genuine grassroots, the deplorables and nonessentials, the pillaged and oppressed, the workers and peasants who were forced to serve the elites for years, those who have been truly marginalized through decades of exclusion from public life.
No one can be sure where this ends up – and no revolution or counterrevolution in history is without cost or complication – but this much is true: public life will never be the same for generations to come.

This is about two things: New World Order | One World Government
New World Order: Pornography, pedophilia, wickedness, starvation, rape, slavery, pestilence and “vaccines” against them reign supreme. Mankind becomes the playthings of psychopaths
One World Government: All governments, wealth, assets, & property combined into a ‘single administrative unit’ where one entity comprised of a few parasites at the top of the global power structure owns and controls everything on this planet, including you.
This hell-on-earth transformation is already well under way:
—
All of the planet-wide madness we’ve been experiencing was designed and implemented by a hierarchy that resides above the sovereignty of nations, at the very top of the global power structure. One does not simultaneously shut the entire world down over a cold virus – with all administrations using near identical language, policies, and slogans – without first having control of every government on earth. For the sake of simplicity, let’s call this higher power the WEF or the ‘World Economic Forum’.
This ridiculous Ukraine war is simply the next phase of the global enslavement directive that began in earnest with the lockstep lockdowns in 2020. The end-goal from this deliberate destruction and rebirth of everything is a one-world-government where one entity will own and control everything on this planet, including you. In the WEF’s own words: You will own nothing, and you will be happy. Or else.

Who Funds Vote.org? An Overview of Donors and Contributions
Vote.org is one of the most prominent nonpartisan voter registration and turnout organizations in the United States. It operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, meaning it is tax-exempt and supported primarily through grants and donations. Below is a concise overview of known funders, notable amounts, and context around its financial support.
Known Major Funders
Based on recent reporting and public nonprofit profiles, Vote.org received significant foundation support in 2022:
- Schmidt Family Foundation — approximately $2 million (2022)
- Hopewell Fund — around $1 million (2022)
- McKnight Foundation — approximately $200,000 (2022)
Additional Early Support
Vote.org participated in Y Combinator’s Summer 2016 (S16) batch, receiving seed support and mentorship that helped it scale. Founder Debra Cleaver also received a grant from the Knight Foundation in the organization’s earlier growth phase. Public sources do not disclose precise amounts for these items.
Transparency and Percentages
As a 501(c)(3), Vote.org files an IRS Form 990 annually. These filings disclose high-level financials and some large contributions, but not every donor is itemized, and some donors may be anonymous. As a result, a full public breakdown of percentages of total revenue by donor is not readily available.
Independent evaluators (e.g., Charity Navigator) provide accountability and finance snapshots; readers seeking exact donor compositions should review the latest Form 990 and audited financial statements.
Summary Table of Known Funders
| Funder / Supporter | Approx. Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Schmidt Family Foundation | $2 million (2022) | Major single-year grant |
| Hopewell Fund | $1 million (2022) | Significant annual contribution |
| McKnight Foundation | $200,000 (2022) | Six-figure grant |
| Knight Foundation | Not disclosed | Early grant aid noted in public profiles |
| Y Combinator (S16) | Not disclosed | Accelerator seed support/mentorship |
| Other donors | Not disclosed | See IRS Form 990 filings for high-level detail |
Bottom Line
Vote.org’s funding reflects a mix of major philanthropic foundations and earlier-stage support from an accelerator and fellowships. While several large grants are publicly reported, a complete percentage breakdown by donor is not published in one place. For the most accurate and current view, consult the organization’s latest IRS Form 990 and audited financials.

Transition Out Of Western Dominance
stock here: I had no idea who Jeffrey Sachs is. He started this long interview in the dark, and the sunrise occured in the background as it went on. He gives Trump more shit than I do.
I added this video on to another Duran video as an afterthought, but really, this is beyond important. Truth benefits the receiver, in almost all cases. Here is a summary, in my prior article is the full transcript.
———————————-
A New Global Reality
The world has entered a new era, marking the end of Western dominance that began around 1750. This shift is driven by the rise of a multipolar world, led by the rapid growth of countries like China and India, as well as the emergence of groups like the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
The End of Western Hegemony
- The Western world’s share of global population is only around 12%, a stark contrast to its historical dominance.
- The idea of a “unipolar” world led by the United States is a dangerous delusion, a clash between arrogance and reality.
- Many nations, particularly in the Global South, reject the idea of an “emperor” and unilateral demands from the U.S.
- China’s economy is now larger than the U.S.’s when properly measured, and it is a leader in key technologies like electric vehicles and solar power.
- The West’s perception of global power is based on a historical mirage, failing to recognize the fundamental changes in economic and technological power.
Europe’s Outdated Mindset
- Europe is still operating with a foreign policy based on 19th and 20th-century delusions and fears.
- The idea that Russia aims to invade Western Europe is an “insanity” with no basis in historical fact or current reality.
- European leaders are making decisions in a vacuum, without communicating with their Russian counterparts.
- Europe’s focus on this outdated conflict is a distraction from its own potential and a waste of its valuable resources, such as its great universities and culture.
- The Cold War narrative, as taught in the West, is a one-sided story that ignores Russia’s legitimate security concerns stemming from historical invasions.
- NATO’s eastward expansion, despite promises not to, is a key driver of current tensions and a direct result of a “block mentality” in the U.S. and U.K.
- The U.S. and its allies treated post-Soviet Russia as a “third or fourth rate country,” fueling resentment and a return to primitive Russophobia.
Critiques of U.S. Leadership
- The current U.S. presidency is described as having a lack of depth and knowledge regarding global affairs.
- The U.S. military-industrial complex is a powerful force that the president is unable to resist.
- U.S. foreign policy, as demonstrated by demands on countries like India to stop buying Russian oil, is perceived as stupid, arrogant, and diplomatically inept.
- The “buck stops” with the president, and the current administration is seen as failing to perform its job effectively in a changing world.
- The U.S. continues to pursue “primacy” and “full spectrum dominance,” a stated policy that is unrealistic and provokes other nations.
- The U.S. is the biggest obstacle to global peace because it clings to an outdated notion of being the sole superpower, hindering effective diplomacy.
Jeffrey Sachs on why the US is the biggest obstacle to global peace
This video is relevant because it features Professor Jeffrey Sachs discussing U.S. foreign policy and the challenges to global peace, aligning with the core themes of the provided text.
Comment summary
The comment section for this video, featuring Professor Jeffrey Sachs, is overwhelmingly positive and reflects a strong agreement with his analysis of geopolitics. Many viewers praise Sachs as a “brilliant scholar,” a “maestro of geopolitics,” and a “hero of the truth.” The discussion is frequently described as a “masterclass” and an “amazing show” that provides a “breathtaking” and “thorough” history lesson.
Key Themes and Viewer Sentiments
- Praise for Professor Sachs: A recurring sentiment is the high regard for Sachs’s intellect and integrity. Comments like “Professor Jeffrey Sacks walks on water” and “I would follow Mr Sachs into battle because I know he would have tried everything to prevent a battle to begin with” highlight the immense respect he commands. One user notes a shift in Sachs’s perspective from a more pro-US view to a more critical one, which they applaud.
- Critique of Western Foreign Policy: Many commenters echo Sachs’s analysis that Western policy is based on “delusion” and “arrogance.” The phrase “A clash of reality and arrogance” from the video is frequently quoted. Viewers feel the West’s continued Cold War mentality, particularly the expansion of NATO and the use of sanctions, has been self-defeating and has ironically pushed Russia and China closer together, leading to the formation of BRICS. One commenter notes, “It was the west that created BRICS, by giving BRICS the impetus to unite. To escape sanctions destructive policies.”
- Historical Context and Ignorance: There’s a shared sense of frustration that the Western public is largely ignorant of the historical context of the Cold War and post-WWII events. Comments reference the Soviet Union’s immense loss of life in WWII and its subsequent quest for security. One viewer, identifying as a “Boomer,” admits to being “schooled on official US Gov Propaganda” and appreciates Sachs’s alternative perspective. Several comments note the contrast between learning about “the crimes of communism” but never being taught “the crimes of capitalism” or the West’s continuous interference. This is a strong theme, suggesting a desire among viewers for a more balanced and complete historical education that acknowledges Western imperialism and meddling, not just in the Cold War, but throughout history.
- Europe’s Predicament: Viewers agree that Europe is caught in a self-destructive loop by following the U.S. and its outdated policies. The phrase, “Europe will learn it the tough way,” captures this sentiment. One particularly poignant comment from a user in Flanders, Belgium, expresses concern that Europe is being “remade” through mass migration, which they tie to a “revenge for the events of WW II,” and urges the hosts to discuss this topic. This comment touches on a sensitive and controversial topic, reflecting a view among some viewers that current events are part of a larger, long-term geopolitical and social engineering strategy.
- Humor and Personal Connections: The comments are not all serious. There’s a running joke about the phrase “you such a Lindsey Graham” becoming a new insult, reflecting Sachs’s characterization of the senator. Another commenter playfully suggests that Sachs sounds like an “anti-depressant,” highlighting the calming and reassuring nature of his analysis for those feeling overwhelmed by the news. Some commenters express personal gratitude, with one user stating they are “55 years young” and feel like a student listening to the professor. Another mentions the beautiful sunrise visible from Sachs’s window, showing a personal connection to the interview’s setting.
In summary, the comment section reveals a community of viewers deeply engaged with the geopolitical analysis presented. They see Professor Sachs as a beacon of reason and truth in a world they feel is dominated by propaganda. They agree with his assessment that the West’s policies are based on arrogance and an outdated worldview, and they are hungry for more complete and honest historical narratives.
