    THE BIG PICTURE

Media Claims Elon Musk Is A Threat To Democracy – But Is “Democracy” Even Worth Saving? – “There is perhaps nothing more tiresome and embarrassing as the theatrical pearl clutching of leftist media propaganda. For three years the public had to deal with the incessant drone of media fear mongering over the covid pandemic, an event which turned out to be a nothing-burger that 99.8% of the population on average would easily survive. After the 2020 elections we have been inundated with narratives about how conservatives are a “threat to democracy” – A democracy which progressives don’t even believe in as the recent DNC coup against Joe Biden proves. The latest evolution of the democracy narrative is that free speech (and probably Russia) is the root evil behind civil unrest in western countries. The notion of thought crime is making its way to the forefront of the establishment tool box and this suggests we are entering the next stage of authoritarianism – Open criminalization of speech. The Guardian in the UK is fully onboard with this development. The media outlet is on the warpath against Elon Musk and X (formerly known as Twitter) after Musk defied European and UK officials and their demands for censorship” – Brandon Smith

Honest Language – “It is silly to refer to the party that imposed the choice of party insiders on the party as the Democrat Party. It is akin to referring to what people are forced to pay into Social Security as a “contribution.” One cannot have an honest conversation using dishonest language. No one – outside of the small circle that encompasses Nancy Pelosi and other inner party apparatchiks – who are in fact bolsheviks – had a say as regards the replacement for the obviously senescent old man who had been rejected by the majority of rank-and-file Democrat Party members. Polls – all of them – indicated more than 50 percent (a majority) wanted Old Joe to stand aside. But when he did, why didn’t any “democrats” – outside of Nancy’s small circle – have a say about who would take his place? So much for “democrats” and “democracy.”” – Eric Peters

Some Bear Over The Rainbow – “The zoo and the wild frontier. Americans and Westerners are fleeing to Russia in greater numbers. Why? Let’s start with simple reasons. The cost of groceries in Russia to (pre) reinforce my coming points.Econ 001: If we all switched to currencies like Zcash and Monero (and silver bits for physical transactions), we could defeat this global cabal of a few thousand that have enslaved eight billion and we could do it in under a week, but that would be so easy, and most people are too busy flipping their thumb up a gorilla glass screen to be bothered with such meaningless decisions. Econ 102: Russia has an abundance of energy. The cost of a gallon of petrol is currently $2.08 in Moscow, the most expensive city. In some parts, it’s as low as $1.89. Amsterdam and other EU cities are sitting at $6-$7 per gallon, while on the Empire front, the average price is down to $3.55, though many highly-taxed blue states are looking at $4.70-$5.00. Econ 666: Russian citizens don’t need to buy a 4000-square-foot McMansion with 3000-square-foot basements to build a sarcophagus for themselves to be mummified in as a memorial to their stellar careers at Raytheon, Purdue Pharma, McKinsey, or any useless Federal department of managerial maggots. The people live much simpler lives. They don’t have a choice. This means in addition to cheap energy they have lower labor costs.” – The Good Citizen  – GOOD READ FROM THE GOOD CITIZEN AS USUAL!!!

The ConMen Always Have A Job – “Tom Luongo asked recently if Kamala is not as stupid as we thought? The answer: she’s at least as stupid as we thought, but it doesn’t take much to bring out the cadre of believers to the pageant. Not when the con men have been hard at work, reworking a moron for the stage, getting her just enough up to speed to where she doesn’t trip over her script. If we’ve learned anything—it doesn’t take much to whip-up frenzied morons. This brings me to a better understanding of the relationship between stupidity and evil. Evil takes intelligence and cunning, so what is it about stupid that we don’t get? ” – neverhadaboss.com

The Financial State of America is Grossly Catastrophic – “The fact that the vast majority of our Congress is made up of Lawyers with zero understanding of Finance would explain why we have a Financial Crisis. It would explain why the DNC Hunger Games witnessed a barrage of pathological lies built on deception and fraud. It would explain the bankruptcies, the 2-3 jobs per person, and the need to import illegals in order to deflect from the Financial Facts to another created crisis. Giving the state of America to Trump would be their holy grail so as to attempt to project the entire mess on MAGA. Not to worry – Russia has opened up their VISA program to accept westerners with open arms – as long as your Christian and societal values do not match the Democrats and Rhinos.” – Helena Glass

RFK Jr Drops ‘Reality’ Mic On Dems, Suspends Campaign – “Who Needs Policy When There’s Trump To Hate?” – Tyler Durden

RFK, Jr., Climbs Aboard The Trump Train – “The Corruption That Is Kamala Harris Left Kennedy No Alternative. In typical RFKJr fashion, his speech was something of a stemwinder, lasting some 49 minutes. However, throughout the speech, one message came through again and again: Kamala Harris and the corrupt Democrats surrounding her candidacy must not be given another four years in the Oval Office. The condemnation of the Democrats came early, and it was unequivocal. The Democratic Party of today was not the Democratic Party of his father and uncle—and when you’re last name is “Kennedy”, that is about as harsh a criticism as can be imagined.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Members of the Kennedy family denounce RFK Jr.’s decision to endorse Trump – “Members of the Kennedy family called the former independent presidential candidate’s endorsement of Trump a “betrayal.”” – Megan Lebowitz

Why Kamala Harris won’t sit for an interview – “How did the media make a national hero out of the current vice president, even though she never gave a single interview as a candidate?” – Robert Bridge

On Progressives and the 2024 Election – “It’s midnight again in America. It always amazes me how cheaply Congress sells itself. Lobbyists only have to spend a few million to make billions. Talk about a return on investment! It’s far higher than crypto, the stock market, almost anything, in fact. I’ve been told by liberal organs like The Nation that “Harris aces her second chance to make a first impression” and that she generated “big DNC energy.” How? By reading effectively from a teleprompter while largely avoiding taking firm stands. What about the fact that Harris didn’t win a single primary vote? I guess we just should ignore the fact that a few weeks ago Democrats including Harris were telling us that Joe Biden was just fine to serve as president until early 2029.” – Bill Astore

Trump has major tailwinds at his back heading into the 2024 election – “Last night the world witnessed a cringeworthy snoozefest of a Kamala Harris speech. Much to the delight of the Trump campaign, the fog of propaganda has cleared for the final stretch of the race” – Jordan Schachtel

‘Festival Of Diversity’ Horror: Manhunt For ‘Arab-Looking’ Man After 3 Killed, 8 Wounded In Mass Stabbing In Germany – Tyler Durden

Girl to be fined for defending herself against would-be rapist? Welcome to Europe! – “In the Danish city of Sønderborg, which skirts the border of Denmark and Germany, a seventeen-year-old girl was walking near the local migrant center when she was grabbed and thrown to the ground by a man who then attempted to undress her. Fortunately, the young girl was able to fend him off by pepper-spraying him. Her attacker ran off and remains at large. But the important thing was that she avoided being raped, right? Hallelujah! Well, maybe not in Denmark. Or Germany. Police spokesman Knud Kirsten noted that, in Denmark: “It is illegal to possess and use pepper spray, so she will likely to be charged for that.” A 17-year-old girl will be fined 500 krone for refusing to be raped?” – Eric Utter

SITREP 8/23/24: Despite Russian Fumbles, Ukraine Continues to Unspool – “Things continue apace in Ukraine, with Zelensky seemingly losing his nerve about the inability to improve his position in the Kursk region. Thus Ukraine has again flirted with danger by sending an FPV drone to the nearby Kursk nuclear power plant.” – Simplicius

Dear CFPB: Your Cure Is Worse Than the Disease – “On August 12, we submitted a public regulatory comment to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in opposition to a proposed rule that would ban medical bills from credit reports. While this rule aims to increase access to credit, it is likely to do the opposite. When potential lenders know that certain information is not being disclosed, they will be hesitant to lend to potential borrowers, cutting off access to credit. In short: while this rule will reduce the supply of credit, it will not decrease the demand for credit. Low-income Americans, the income group with the most medical debt, will turn toward black-market lenders to make up for the lack of credit available. ” – Peter C. Earle and Thomas Savidge

How to Replace Your Lawn to Benefit Local Wildlife Species – “Green lawns may be appealing to certain members of society, but for the most part they’re diversity deserts that cause more harm to the local ecosystem than good. Think about it. Your grass doesn’t feed wildlife, attract pollinators, and gives nothing back to the soil. There is no variety and it needs constant feeding and treating to keep it looking like we expect.” – Catherine Winter
