Patricians v Plebeians: The Great Realignment

...the most portentous moment in our political lives: the commercial elite, the new Patrician class, is drifting full fascist, while the Plebeians are pushing for uncompromised freedom.

Authored by Jeffrey Tucker: When I was a kid - and the same with my parents when they were young - you could count on certain fundamentals in politics. The Chamber of Commerce represented business, and business generally favored free enterprise. Not always, but mostly. 

Small businesses could become big and big could become small, but they generally opposed socialism, big government, regulation, and high taxes. For this reason, they generally supported the Republican Party. 

It was also a time of class malleability, with people moving in and out and up and down. There were always gaps between rich, middle, and poor but they were not as wide as now, and there was a healthy rotation among them. 

In the last ten years, and accelerating dramatically in the last three, this has changed.

Civilized Nations Kill With Sanctions And Proxy Armies: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

Pouring more weapons into Ukraine is not how you save lives; you save lives by negotiating a ceasefire. Pouring more weapons into Ukraine is how you create a long and expensive military quagmire for Russia at the cost of many thousands of lives to advance US strategic interests. While making a vast fortune for the arms industry.

By Caitlin Johnstone: Issuing a guarantee that you would never add a nation to NATO who you don’t plan on adding anyway is a no-brainer when the alternative is mass military butchery.

I mean, unless your goal was to provoke mass military butchery.

The European Commission President Announces In Effect That EU Is Joining The War Against Russia

'It is stunning that no one in the Western leadership or media understood that Russia was serious about her security concern. Whether the West regarded the Kremlin’s concern as warranted or not, everything should have been done to reassure Russia.'

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: The idiot European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen announced that, despite Putin’s warning, the EU is going to finance the purchase and delivery of weapons to Ukraine.  The idiot also said the EU is going to include Belarus, which is not involved in the fighting, in the sanctions, because it is a Russian ally.  She says the EU wants to ban Russian media because they don’t keep to the official war narrative. 

So, the European Commission president announces that the EU is joining the war on the side of the Ukrainian Nazis, and Washington’s idiot UN Ambassador accuses Putin of escalating the war.  We see here the results of Putin’s far too many years of keeping his patience with the West.  The West has grown accustomed to imposing punishment upon punishment on Russia with no consequences to itself.  Now suddenly there are consequences, and it is all Putin’s fault.

The Effect Of Sanctions On British & European Energy Prices

British And European Politicians Brought High Energy Price On Us For Their Jewish Paymasters With Idiotic Sanctions On Russia

Sputnik: The price of March futures for gas in Europe has jumped to over $1,636 per 1,000 cubic metres, up 60% from Wednesday's indices after Germany froze certification for the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev did not rule out on Tuesday that EU gas prices may hit the threshold of 2,000 euros per 1000 cubic metres.

The European gas price is continuing its rally: according to Bloomberg's Tuesday report, it had already jumped by as much as 13% on "geopolitical tensions" over the Ukraine crisis. Still, it's only the beginning, given that the EU appears ready to slap even more sanctions on Russia, according to Dr Paul Craig Roberts, former US assistant treasury secretary in the Ronald Reagan administration.

Sputnik: How will the unfolding events affect the already soaring gas prices in Europe?

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: The sharp rise in natural gas price in Europe is entirely due to Western hysteria and stupidity...

New Zealand High Court: Vaccine Mandate Not "Demonstrably Justified", Breach Of Rights

The New Zealand High Court has upheld a challenge to a vaccine mandate for Police and Defence Force staff, stating that it was not a “demonstrably justified” breach of the Bill of Rights.

Authored by Katabella Robert: Justice Francis Cooke was asked by a group of Police and Defence Force personnel to judicially review the vaccine mandate enacted under the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act in December.

The mandate required all Defence Force personnel and all Police constables, recruits, and authorized officers to receive two doses of the vaccine by March 1.

But on Jan. 6, three unvaccinated staff who did not wish to receive the shots sought a judicial review of the mandate. They were supported by affidavits from 37 of their colleagues in the same position.

It's Happening Again

Russell Brand: As the NIH continues to withhold critical documents that could shed light on the origin of the coronavirus pandemic, what could be behind this lack of transparency that, after the last two years, is surely the right of the public to be aware of?

British Politicians Continue To Make Fools Of Themselves - Their New Task Is To Turn The People Into “Cannon Fodder”

Russia responds to UK’s Crimean War comment

Moscow has reminded London about the Charge of the Light Brigade – one of the worst miscalculations in history by the British military

RT: Responding to comments made on Wednesday by British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace in which he referenced the 19th-century Crimean War, the Russian Defense Ministry urged its UK counterparts to get their historical facts straight. 

Commenting on the escalation of tensions in Ukraine, Wallace – a former member of the Scots Guards – evoked an episode of the Crimean War of 1853-56, when Britain and France allied with Ottoman Turkey to invade Crimea. He said the regiment in which he had served had “kicked the backside of Tsar Nicholas I” and “we can always do it again.”

The Battle of Balaklava in October 1854 entered the history books, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said on Wednesday, but “not at all thanks to the stubbornness of the Scottish 93rd regiment, about which Wallace spoke so enthusiastically.” The unit’s only heroic deed was that they didn’t run away from the Russian cavalry like everyone else, he added. They suffered bloody losses, but didn’t secure any victories, Konashenkov said, referring to an episode that became known as the Thin Red Line on account of the Scots Guards’ scarlet uniforms.

Jews' Vassal Nations UK & US Take Us A Step Closer To War

'Everything that London and Washington have done leads to conflict with Russia and China. The mix of a total lack of objectivity with nuclear weapons is disaster’s recipe.'

It is important that you understand that according to news reports The Jew Lobby's vassal US and UK governments are sanctioning the persons of Putin and Lavrov as I write.  Putin has already said that any such insult will result in the break of diplomatic relations.  Either our governments in the pocket of the Jews' elites are intentionally driving the situation to a wider conflict as the Jews' next global MIC Military Industrial Complex shakedown after their current highly lucrative Big Pharma global shakedown and their previous global Bankster shakedown of a decade ago, or they are too stupid to be in office. Historically, a break in diplomatic relations is a step towards war.

The sanction is a gratuitous insult as Putin has no assets abroad to be frozen and I very much doubt Lavrov does either.

Clearly The Jews are doing everything possible to inflame the situation, not reduce the tensions. All the trouble can end now by the West supporting the demilitarisation of Ukraine.

Instead, crazed, insane, psychopathic UK & US governments are pushing the world to nuclear war. Moronic conservatives and moronic labour are united in inflaming a dangerous situation.  The world has never seen such irresponsibility.

Here Is Another Bad Memory Russia Has of America And UK

“As for our country, after the disintegration of the USSR, given the entire unprecedented openness of the new, modern Russia, its readiness to work honestly with the United States and other Western partners, and its practically unilateral disarmament, they immediately tried to put the final squeeze on us, finish us off, and utterly destroy us. This is how it was in the 1990s and the early 2000s, when the so-called collective West was actively supporting separatism and gangs of mercenaries in southern Russia. What victims, what losses we had to sustain and what trials we had to go through at that time before we broke the back of international terrorism in the Caucasus! We remember this and will never forget.”

— Vladimir Putin, President of Russia

The Ridiculous Ways The Whore Corporate Media Explains Away Hundreds Of Thousands Of Global Vaccine Deaths

Women who unexpectedly drop dead do so from broken hearts. Hint: the cause is men, not the vaccine.

Kids drop dead because it is in their genes.

Athletes who drop dead don’t. Washington Post gives assurance it is all a hoax.

By Mark Crispin Miller: Before we note all those whose “sudden deaths” made news just this past week—“unexpected deaths” with no reported cause, or due to heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, cardiac arrest or swift, aggressive cancers (all known to be “adverse events” post-“vaccination”)—let’s review how this unprecedented global spike in sudden death has been deliberately obscured by “our free press.”

While honest doctors, nurses, cops, EMTs, nuns and undertakers have attested to this horror, which they have seen, with their own eyes, unfolding daily since the “vaccinations” started, and even though it’s been statistically confirmed, beyond a shadow of a doubt, by official figures from the life insurance industry and the Department of Defense, the media, both corporate and “alternative,” has not just blacked it out, but keeps on struggling to “explain” it all away, with claims that would be laughable, if they were not engaged in systematic Holocaust denial.

The Destructivists

'Identity Politics and allied moral corruptions are providing the perfect moral smokescreens behind which authoritarianism is advancing, which is why these issues are so very pressing.'

By William Collins, aka MRA-UK: Yes, I’ve seen fit to inflict the world with more of my verbiage. It’s probably an illness.

Well, it might be crap but at least it’s shorter than the last one.

It’s only fair to warn you that the new book is nothing like the last one, The Empathy Gap. That was mainly a presentation of empirical evidence. There are no tables or graphs in the new book. It’s more a work of opinion, and more overtly political though it focusses on the role of morality in political and social change. The contents of Part One of the book aligns well with my ICMI21 talk. But the book develops from there covering three more Parts plus Appendices.
