I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did! They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some “free” and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some “clicks” because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody’s talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA — Or I wouldn’t have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE. MAGA agrees with me, and just gave CNN a 100% Approval Rating of “TRUMP,” not Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn’t even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he’s never been the same — Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist! Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, “Only Rosie O’Donnell,” question, or “Crazy” Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it’s not even close! Or Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called “pundits” are LOSERS, and they always will be! Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left “News” Organizations, are “hailing” them, and giving them “positive” press for the first time in their lives. They’re not “MAGA,” they’re losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA. As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don’t return their calls because I’m too busy on World and Country Affairs and, after a few times, they go “nasty,” just like Marjorie “Traitor” Brown, but I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country. MAGA is about WINNING and STRENGTH in not allowing Iran to have Nuclear Weapons. MAGA is about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO, because THE UNITED STATES IS NOW THE “HOTTEST” COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! President DONALD J. TRUMP

I busted out laughing reading this! Reckon he needed to get this off his chest! LOL

Here's a question — maybe a tiny bit like the kind of thing Socrates might have come up with, simply to encourage his audience to think about the issue being discussed. (And as it's rhetorical, posed with no malice or criticism of any kind, you absolutely don't have to answer it!)

If I (Bill Ryan) had posted something like that here on the forum, would your response have been the same?

Can someone explain what kind of 4D chess this is supposed to be?
Because this doesn’t read like leadership — it reads like vanity, rage, and loss of control.

At what point does MAGA stop calling this strategy and start admitting it looks unhinged?

If this is “the plan,” then MAGA ought to ask itself why it suddenly sounds so much like a public nervous breakdown.

What also stands out to me is that this doesn’t read like confidence. It reads like fear. There’s a panicked edge to it, like he knows he’s losing control of the narrative and is lashing out at anyone who won’t stay in line. For all the talk of strength, this sounds more like a man who feels threatened.

Trump's posts are increasingly deranged. Typical onset of dementia. The saddest part is that the people he names at the beginning of that post were at one point supporting him. But they became highly critical of Trump when he broke so many of the campaign promises.

Could be that there are ghosts haunting his head too. Unacknowledged guilt has been known to drive people to madness.

I quite agree that, if there is any strategy involved, it's not evident to me in those words of Trump. Julius Caesar and Winston Churchill were far more worthy of quoting, in the centuries following their war time leadership pronouncements, than Donald Trump will be, if those words are his mark.

That doesn't mean there isn't a lot of strategizing going on, though where such might go, by intent or by failure, remains to be seen and might or might not be something we will welcome.

Often, in the heat of battle, one supports those who, in times leading up to such chaotic climaxes, stood for (or at least were reported to speak for) one's own values and community. Whether those one continues to support were or remain worthy of one's support is often not knowable during such moments however. Such is life at such times.

[ThePythonicCow]

Beware how one motivates support for attacking one's mortal enemy. For if they control the narrative sufficiently to cause your publicly stated justifications to go, not to the essential differences, but to the means used, and then later if they can force you to use much the same means, you risk your claimed justifications sounding hollow.

Certainly the dark side has gained substantial control over the publicly understood narrative, and apparently the dark side has now maneuvered the "white hats" into using means of war scarcely distinguishable from the means the dark side was accused of using.

The fog of war is thick. It can be hard to see the color of other's hats, or even if they wear a hat. It could be no less, given the gravity and extent of the conflict, over much of our planet and much of the history we're told of.

Pertinent, searching question from Bill and good answer from SilentFeathers.....

If I may add a comment of my own ..... everyone has their breaking point and at the end of the day Trump is only human, like the rest of us -

had any of us had the insane level of very public hate and disrespect aimed at us for 10 years we might have cracked earlier...

Yes he's lashed out (IMO) at the wrong people - and those of us with the luxury of enough time on our hands to have gone down the Alex/Sandy Hook and the Candace/Brigitte Macron rabbit holes know Trump hasn't looked at these subjects deep enough to 'get it'....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I remember on the very first day of his first term there were massive demonstrations (highly organised and funded) against him and I thought....can't they even give him a chance...? It was the first day for heaven's sake.... and this is what he's had for years and years...

Am I making excuses for THE post.....? Maybe I am but I do think he has been pushed to his limit -

Alex links his latest rant to Melania going public, making remarks about the Epstein Files (which is on a thread somewhere else here) and when you think about it....her timing wasn't great....because I doubt Trump would have wanted this as he goes through his most tricky time as President -

Let's see where all this is leading - politics is a dirty business and it's never been dirtier regarding the Anti-Trump PSYOP...

These are a couple of links to Alex responding on Infowars...

I agree both with Chip's observations in post 2444 as well as:

I think Trump is somewhat deranged, but anyone who volunteered to be POTUS at this stage of the game would have to be (or at least somewhat masochistic or a victim of dementia).
If not, would likely end up somewhat deranged after such a monumental struggle and this is his second time around, after all.
Obviously he is severely lacking diplomatic skills, but even so his policies are actually working in some cases.
In others he is clearly stumbling, but that's not really so unusual for a POTUS, a job that is really too big for one person to handle in times like these.
If as a finale, he succeeds in preventing COG, he will have done the US another real service (closing the border still deserves ).
I think that he is forestalling the darkest Globalists somewhat in their agenda, and if enough of the public wakes up quickly enough and with enough impetus, that could be just enough to make a substantial wrinkle in the Dark's darkest agenda.
Which is probably the most we can realistically ask for at this point.

[Rizotto]

Maybe the above Trump post can best be explained by what these four (Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones) have in common. I'm a little uncertain about Alex Jones, don't know him that well, but here's what it looks like to me:

1- They're all top rated podcasters or independent journalists, with huge audiences in the USA and worldwide.
2- They provided public support for Trump's 2024 campaign.
3- They oppose the idea of USA getting into more wars in the middle east.
4- They've been particularly critical of Israel's control of Doanld Trump and of USA's political scene.
5- They've questioned the Fed's narrative about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and hinted at Israel's involvement.
6- Israel & zionists have tried to shut them up, unsuccessfully.

So why would Trump make such a post? Perhaps Bibi told him to. But what Trump put out was so lame (an understatement...) that it has certainly backfired.

The point that is generally being missed (and it's easy to do) is that yesterday's guidelines are not necessarily applicable to today's dilemmas...
To see that may require a mental leap into a broader dimensional perspective.

We are in a war for our lives, our futures, and therefore the lives of our children. The powers that be ingeniously installed devices to allow for them to maintain power while preparing for total suppression. These devices come in one form as intolerable speech. Society has determined that some speech is off limits, which we we warned about by Orwell. This tool, which has done wonders for the PTB, would be enforced on those of us that would fight for our safety and freedom, as we go down the drain.

Effective morality is necessarily a scalable technology. We don't accuse soldiers of murder if they kill within the terms of engagement. As the war against the nefarious global intentions continues, and as it increases in intensity we will need to give people the room to save our asses. Let us withhold judgement regarding accepted social soft spots so that we might continue to exist- this is my request.

They Used to Hang Horse Thieves

How Moral Code Follows Human Need

Kevin Boykin
Mar 25, 2026



They used to hang horse thieves. Not because men were barbaric, but because a horse was life itself on the frontier — transport, livelihood, and escape. There wasn’t a Starbucks on every corner, and even if there were, the battle through the manzanita and rocky terrain would require a preemptive double-shot frappe. To steal a horse was to strand a man in the unforgiving wilderness; it was potentially a death sentence, and the available selection of executioners were each unpalatable. The gallows were not cruelty; they were a necessity, our familiar matron of invention, and here an altered moral code was invented.

In the way that universal forces demand the golden ratio, social and environmental pressures dictate the designs of mankind. When survival tightens its grip, law follows suit. Grain theft in medieval Europe demanded a death sentence, not because bread was holy, but because hunger was a force no ruler could afford to offend. In seafaring empires, mutiny was punished by hanging or keelhauling because a single act of defiance could send a whole crew to the bottom. Even faith at times followed the same survival pattern: to reject the state religion was, in their eyes, to threaten social cohesion itself.

In Rio’s favelas and other lower-income areas of Central and South America where starvation and chaos still rule, thieves are beaten or burned to death while cameras roll. The act horrifies modern conscience, yet it echoes the frontier. When institutions collapse, when they fail to mete out an acceptable level of justice, eventually morality devolves to its root form: deterrence by terror. Justice becomes local, improvised, and brutal — but it functions.

The concept of 'crime' evaporates when facing a true existential threat. It's not just irrelevant; it's an offensive absurdity.

And this, uncomfortable as it is, reveals the truth: moral codes are not fixed; they are adaptive technologies. The globalists understand this better than anyone. They’ve learned to shift their ethics laterally, bending concepts of good and evil to match whatever ensures control — one of their controls being how their intended victims think collectively. Consequently, the rest of the world, still clutching inherited moralities like relics, refuses or is unable to adapt — mistaking politeness for virtue, fragility for goodness, people-pleasing for acceptance, and failing to recognize that they need their moral code to include their survival.

The only real survival now lies in evolution of a different kind — not moral surrender, but moral defense. Hard decisions need to be made; those with weak stomachs need to excuse themselves, and sleeves need to be rolled up. We are speaking of the survival and personal sovereignty of the human race. The concept of 'crime' evaporates when facing a true existential threat. It's not just irrelevant; it's an offensive absurdity. The crimes of the other side have already been committed; it’s only the meting of justice that remains — the breaking of their control to allow for the clarity and courage necessary for success.

(We are not there quite yet, but there is a new era coming and though the transition will be harrowing, it appears that at long last, at least war will no longer be a feature. Imagining what that will be like can be a welcome pastime after so much common preoccupation with the details of this paradigm's last gasps.)

[Rizotto]

My summary of some of Max Blumenthal comments:

• Trump’s announcement of a deal with Iran was used by insiders to game the oil markets.
• The Trump administration is now lying by claiming that the deal with Iran did not include Lebanon. In fact, the original draft of the 10 points listed Lebanon.
• Israel’s subsequent bombing of Lebanon were not limited to Hezbollah’s zones, but also included opponents of Hezbollah, civilian areas were targeted, etc.
• Israel’s goal in attacking Lebanon was to sabotage the ceasefire with Iran and provoke Iran into defending its Lebanese ally.
• Chief negotiator JD Vance is lying about the agreement.
• Netanyahu insisted that the ceasefire agreement did not include Lebanon.
• Israel’s aerial bombings on Lebanon resulted in massive civilian casualties, but its ground invasion of southern Lebanon is faltering as the Israeli army if falling apart.
• Mossad’s briefings at Trump’s Whitehouse regarding Iran’s capabilities, and Netanyahu’s presence in Washington in February 2026 at these briefings, putting pressure on Trump to start a war against Iran
• A majority of americans oppose a war against Iran.

Paul, that’s extremely well said. What I hear you saying is that once one side starts using the same tactics it condemned in the other, the claimed moral difference begins to evaporate. In a fog this thick, the hardest thing is no longer picking a side — it’s seeing clearly enough to know who is actually serving the light.

What I hear you saying is that once one side starts using the same tactics it condemned in the other, the claimed moral difference begins to evaporate.

And THAT's most extremely well said, as well.

You heard me well, and, as Bill noted, said it better.

In a fog this thick, the hardest thing is no longer picking a side — it’s seeing clearly enough to know who is actually serving the light.

... and sometimes having to decide whether to shoot or hold your fire ... when either alternative might be deadly wrong, for you or an innocent, depending on that which you can not yet make out in the fog.

May you live long and greet whatever comes after like an old friend.

I think Trump is somewhat deranged, but ...

Whether he is deranged, or acting that way as a strange negotiating tactic, or is but the talented circus clown, sent out to distract us while they change the stage behind him ... we have not a "need to know", at least it seems in the eyes of those who (hopefully) do know.
