The Morning Report — 10/11/22

Good morning kids. Tuesday and to quote a venerable TV gameshow from before many of you were born, "The Password is 'desperation'. I think that word describes quite a bit of what we are experiencing at present. On the global level, look at the words and actions of Vladimir Putin. He thought he was going to just waltz into Ukraine and knock over the country in 48 hours without anyone in his army getting so much as a scratch. Here we are seven months later and the Russian armed forces, its generalship and alarmingly (for them) its intelligence services have been exposed as incompetent, inept and ill-prepared to take on what on paper should have been a relative pushover. Now, we have hundreds of dead and a pissed off populace on both sides, and Vladimir Putin with now a literal target on his back. Remember this is still Russia, aka, the former Soviet Union. A nation that has thousands of nuclear weapons from suitcase tactical nukes that could kill thousands all the way up to a MIRVed, thermonuclear ICBMs that could kill millions at the push of a button. And for the past several weeks Putin, as well as his cronies, have made the most gossamer thin of threats and hints at their potential use.

Not to worry because we have Joe Biden and company in the White House, by way of Kalorama. Yes, the best and the brightest that either put the words in his mouth or else thought it the most brilliant idea ever to have a demented vegetable be their puppet and claim the world is at risk of nuclear "armageddon."

Well, desperate times do call for desperate measures.

Two weeks ago, it is possible the [junta] made a calculated decision that it was worth risking nuclear conflict with Russia through an unprecedented act of energy terrorism and environmental depredation in order to shore up political support and suppress dissent at home. . .
. . . The number of “coincidences” one needs to entertain in order to subscribe to the official media and government narrative that Putin blew up his own pipeline (in the process destroying any possible leverage he had over European support for his Ukrainian foes) requires a truly Homeric suspension of disbelief. One has to ignore the fact that both Biden and longtime neocon warmonger Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland explicitly threatened Nord Stream operations in early 2022 should Russia invade Ukraine. One must further ignore the fact that Defense Department Spokesperson John Kirby bragged that the destruction of Nord Stream presented a “tremendous opportunity for years to come” to reduce dependence on Russian gas and oil, while disavowing U.S. responsibility for creating such good fortune. Above all, one must ignore the fact that Putin and Russia gain precisely no strategic advantage from destroying an expensive investment they were effectively using as political leverage over Europe. Putin, we are told, is mentally unbalanced and increasingly unstable due to cognitive impairment (unlike the current occupant of the White House).
So, in traditional realpolitik analysis, cui bono? The answer is obvious. A regime facing devastating electoral losses in just over a month. A desperate regime that has failed to prolong the panic over [Chinese] COVID (or to create a new panic over Monkeypox) in order to credibly suspend in-person voting on what was once known as Election Day. A regime with far too much to lose should the GOP gain congressional oversight as a result of inevitable revelations related to 1) government collaboration with Big Pharma and media to perpetuate vaccine fraud; 2) the use of intelligence agencies and their social media lackeys to target political opponents; 3) the coordination by Biden political operatives of election fraud in 2020, and, especially; 4) the Biden crime family and its operations in both China and Ukraine. . .
. . . Of course, provoking foreign crises in order to suspend civil liberties (including elections) and crack down on political opponents at home with the use of “wartime emergency powers” has long been a favorite page in the playbook of totalitarian regimes over the world. And the events of the past week should leave no doubt that the Biden regime is contemplating, if not on the verge of implementing, just such a contingency.

If I were a betting man, I would say that this is exactly their next play. They literally have nothing left to lose, except for the illusion and mythology crafted and pimped for decades that they are the good guys, which has propelled them to the point of achieving absolute, permanent power, if that hasn't been attained already. It ain't just Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, either.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, says President Joe Biden was right to bring up nuclear "Armageddon" at a Democrat fund-raiser last week because "the United States has to be ready for Putin to use a tactical nuclear weapon."
"Well, I think the president is right to raise the risk of nuclear conflict, because Vladimir Putin is increasingly getting pushed into a corner," Murphy told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday:
"This war is going incredibly badly for him. The mobilization that he has undertaken has backfired. This morning, you see scenes of hundreds of Russian troops essentially refusing to go into training and to the front. So, yes, this is a dangerous man. And the United States has to be ready for Putin to use a tactical nuclear weapon.
"I agree, I don't think there's any sign that he is going to do that imminently. And it's important for us to send signals about what the consequences would be, should he make that choice. But I think Joe Biden is right to just get this country ready for the fact that you are dealing with an incredibly dangerous human being in Russia, the war is going badly, and you just can't predict what he's going to do next."

Well, genius, if "you just can't predict what he's going to do next" shouldn't you be doing everything possible to de-escalate the situation instead of taking sides, shoving billions of dollars at Zelensky as well as military and intelligence assistance that can be and probably are de facto acts of war? This is not Grenada. This is not Libya. This is not Iraq. This is the former Soviet-fucking-Union. You maniacs are poking the damn bear when you should be de-assing with the quickness at warp speed away from him. And you have the freaking gall to claim Putin is unpredictable?! Fuck me to tears, but this is insanity.

It is bad enough if this is just radiant incompetence on the part of these Skull and Bones, Foggy Bottom, Kennedy School navel-gazers. If this is intentional, it's murder. And that cannot be ruled out, all things considered. And closer to home, the desperation of these criminals in the DC junta who sense their hold on power being challenged and perhaps slipping from their grasp is palpable.

Yesterday, J.D. Vance delivered a figurative beat-down in a debate with his Ohio senatorial opponent Tim Ryan. And yet Ryan, cornered like the two-faced phony vermin that he is actually doubled-down on the eliminationist rhetoric that he, his party, the propaganda media and institutional left have blood-libeled half the nation with. And by blood libeling, given the acts of Leftists with everything from guns and Molotov cocktails to SUVs and even fists, I mean literally that.

Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan doubled down on his comments from earlier in the year calling to “kill and confront” MAGA while specifically targeting J.D. Vance in his rhetoric during the debate on Monday night.
In the heated debate between Ryan and his Republican opponent for Ohio’s open U.S. Senate seat, Ryan was confronted and asked to explain his comments earlier in the year when he told MSNBC’s Morning Joe that the “exhausted majority” needed to “kill and confront” the extremist Republican movement.
Now, Ryan, during the debate — doubling down on his comments — included Vance in the group of people he labels as “extremists.”
“Kill and Confront the extremist movement of which J.D. Vance, unfortunately, is a part of,” Ryan claimed. ” Ryan, trying to frame Vance for his past comments, added, “Who says that the president of the United States is intentionally trying to kill people with fentanyl? Who says that the election was stolen?”
“Who runs around with Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida who wants to ban books? He runs around with Lindsey Graham, who wants a national abortion ban. You’re running around Marjorie Taylor Greene, who’s the absolute looniest politician in America,” Ryan said, looking to list off lawmakers Vance has come in contact with or commented on, on the campaign trail.
“This is a dangerous group, and we do need to confront it, and that’s why I’m running to represent the ‘exhausted majority’: Democrats, Republicans, and independents, against the extreme,” Ryan finished.

Projection ain't just a river in Egypt, Timmy. Everything you claim is what you and yours actually did, you miserable piece of shit. What's worse, the abject desperation to spout this poison is provably dangerous to innocent life. Shannon Brandt is not a lone wolf; he is a political terrorist that you and yours weaponized and approve of.

Same with this Darrel Brooks cancer who slaughtered innocent people at the Waukesha Christmas parade.

And since you have direct access to Dick Durbin and Bernie Sanders, maybe you could ask them about James Hodgkinson, since both have refused to talk about what they knew and when they knew it. Of course, that's easy when you have both propaganda arm that refuses to inquire as well as a DOJ and FBI that is not only not interested in getting at the truth but is actively engaged in the political repression and terror campaign of the junta itself.

Yup. It smells like desperation all around. But will it be SUVs or ICBMS at ten paces?

17 Tulsi is in my opinion, one of the greatest threat to conservative voters.

She is able to portray herself as moderate, to borderline conservative.

And for voters who have been put off by all the progressive attacks on our foundation, yet leery of pulling the lever for someone who they might consider as too MAGA, she could be an enticing option.

19 I think Tulsi has the potential to be a "Great American" except that she is very liberal in financial aspects. I hope she doesn't doesn't end up pulling a Ross Perot in 24. I think she has time to move to the right gradually and get to where she needs to be.

21 Reflecting on your main point about the need to create a crisis before the election; this is why since it happened on Saturday morning, i have believed that the US either carried out or strongly encouraged the attack on the crimean bridge. The goal was not to disrupt traffic; the goal was to force Putin to make large scale counter attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, thus justifying the direct entry of NATO (ie US) conventional forces into this war. You can see the entire MSM calling for this already.

23 In Cleveland this past week, I saw a Ryan billboard saying "I am a Republican. I support our police. I'm voting for Tim Ryan", and then in Philadelphia yesterday I saw the same exact formulation, only this time for Fetterman.

Democrats seem to be trying to pretend it is Republicans who reduced police funding.

It is hard to reach an appropriate level of cynicism in this election season. Something past eleventy on the dial is required.

I think the reason the Russians haven't attempted using their air force against Ukraine is because they know that the Ukes have stinger missiles. My guess is that someone on a boat got near that bridge and fired off a stinger at it. I'd have to look at a frame by frame image of the explosion to prove it, but I just don't care that much.

I have no doubt that the regime really, really, really wants this war, and they'll probably get their way (they almost always do, after all). But I don't think electoral politics is a motive.

If you were running an operation to purposefully sabotage the pipeline, would you do it all at once, or would you get one thing to explode, and then, come back 17 hours later to explode the other thing?

Nobody blew up Nordstream 2.

Let’s limit our criticisms of the Biden administration and the Democrats to the things they have actually done. Like talking about direct attacks on Russian military units if they use nuclear weapons.

182 In Cleveland this past week, I saw a Ryan billboard saying "I am a Republican. I support our police. I'm voting for Tim Ryan", and then in Philadelphia yesterday I saw the same exact formulation, only this time for Fetterman.
Democrats seem to be trying to pretend it is Republicans who reduced police funding.
It is hard to reach an appropriate level of cynicism in this election season. Something past eleventy on the dial is required.

Old news.
In the last election, there were yard signs saying "I'm a Republican and I'm voting for Joe Biden." in the same yards that had-
the silly "In this house, we believe..." signs for the last 3 years along with pro-Democrat signs.
Anyone who falls for this is a retard.

The new version, in the same houses in this area is -
"Mothers Against Greg Abbott". Yes, they progtards got their own MAGA. I'm sure they think that's clever as hell.
Unsaid about these "mothers" is that they're pro-abortion. And so, want to be able to kill their babies. "mothers" for some values of Mother, I guess.

And this is why the republic is dead. In a republic, politics is the art and practice of persuasion. It is in non-republican governments that "beating them" is the dominant form of politics.

It isn't surprising, of course. This is the guy who lamented the absence of "positive rights" in the Constitution, thus missing the point entirely (and intentionally).

That's a pretty weak point. The gap in time makes no material difference in the results.

There also isn't a good alternative theory to sabotage for multiple explosions at some distance from each other in a short time frame. One plan crashing into the World Trade Center could've been a tragic accident, it was apparent to everyone when the second hit that it was an attack.

Meanwhile the governments of Europe pretty much immediately concluded it was sabotage.

Two competing objectives.

2. Make it look like an accident

A delay of several months would be better for objective 2, but make objective 1 difficult or impossible, as given enough time after the first event, there'd be more security and attention.

But if the left wins an election, it doesn't matter how much evidence of fraud there is...anyone claiming the election wasn't pure is a NAZI.

And keep in mind in the 2020 election we have proof there were more fraudulent ballots cast that Biden's margin of victory in the stolen states. The left generally won't even talk about this, but if forced to will say "you can't prove those were votes for Biden"

294 NS isn't the only pipeline into Europe. The Ukrainian pipeline is capable of carrying 100 bcm annually. Yamal carries about 33 bcm. Bluestream and turkstream each carry about 16 bcm.

NS and NS2 were both capable of about 55bcm each.

Notice the only direct route into Europe is NS. That's the distinguishing factor. Notice also that the largest potential capacity comes through Ukraine.

Furthermore, Europe was trying to negotiate the NS flow and use it as potential leverage as part of the Ukraine war. Now there is nothing to negotiate except the spigot, largely through Ukraine.

Remember, Russia really wasn't earning much capital via NS. They are actually spending more on the Ukraine war then they're earning.

There is more then enough in that short analysis to give Russia a pretext to frag NS.

304 Furthermore, Europe was trying to negotiate the NS flow and use it as potential leverage as part of the Ukraine war. Now there is nothing to negotiate except the spigot, largely through Ukraine.

Remember, Russia really wasn't earning much capital via NS. They are actually spending more on the Ukraine war then they're earning.

There is more then enough in that short analysis to give Russia a pretext to frag NS.

Russia wants Ukraine to have control over their ability to pipe gas into Europe? Huh?

Also the claim that the pipeline was leverage from Europe over Russia is laughable. Russia was the one who turned it off earlier. They were the ones using it as leverage, and they don't need to blow it up to keep it shut off.

Joe Biden was the epitome of the media created image of the moderate Democrat from the moment Obama selected him as VP in 2008. They've been pushing the image for more than a decade.

And now a moderate Democrat (supported by centrist Republicans!) is leading to massive, massive issues and no slowdown of leftist cultural pressure from the Democrat Party.

This is what I mean when I say that the Democrat Party's brand is broken. They broke it when they put Biden in power and then let their freak flags fly.

By comparison most of those issues are trivial. Debating marginal tax rates isn't the sort of thing that sparks civil war. It's possible for economic issues to create rebellions but the stress either has to be severe or an interest of a powerful elite.

This isn't Russian Military maintenance with planes, tanks n subs that they are notorious for not being able to up-keep or Chernobyl which was design/engineering. People forget the Russians have a lot of Petro/Chem infrastructure, from oil platforms above Japan(some of the largest in the world) and in the Arctic. They have been in service for decades without incident. F'ing up 3-4 separate lines due to faulty maintenance or faulty procedure? Not likely. Plus Nordstream 2 should still be in the hands of the Swiss for two years after it is constructed, then handed over to the Russians.

374 "Russia wants Ukraine to have control over their ability to pipe gas into Europe? Huh? "

You of course realize that Russia is and has been controlling that flow- right? Also that it's a source of revenue for Ukraine that Russia has been using as leverage and it is completely under their control.

That's a little different than a direct flow into Europe- don't you think?

Direct flow into Europe = direct negotiation
Indirect through Ukraine = third part negotiations and leverage.

If I could draw picture, I would.

Btw. I have no idea who did this. But the dismissal of Russia as a potential culprit because they didn't have "motive" is specious and flawed at best.

In this 'ranked choice' system, can a voter choose #1 with a bullet? Meaning no other candidate.

When confronted with 'vote for three' if you only vote for one, that candidate only gets one vote, but you have denied a vote to any others. In IL, that is called a bullet, but I don't know how it works in ranked choice scenarios.

That's one of the ways ranked choice can be used to beat the candidate who got the most votes, by getting more people to put their candidate as their #2 choice (thus getting a partial vote where none exists in standard voting) vs. their opponent who only gets a whole vote or nothing.

Ranked choice voting was on the ballot in MA in 2020, IIRC, and one of the scenarios they pitched as a benefit of it was that scenario: Candidate A gets the most votes (#1 choice); however, Candidate B got more votes cumulatively because of all the additional "votes" from those who selected her as their 2nd option.

That was pitched as a GOOD thing.

425 "Ukraine could destroy the Russian pipelines passing through their country, and there is little Russia could do to stop it."

Your analysis is extremely flawed. Ukraine wants the Russian gas flow. They earn much needed capital from it. We and the Euro's are funding their war largely because the Uke's can't earn that capital. They won't destroy the pipeline. They need it.

Indeed Russia doesn't want to depend on the Uke's. It is one reason they built NS, but not the only reason. They also don't transit other countries who get a cut of the revenue and need to perform maintenance. But the Uke's are corrupt and greedy. They were sticking it to Russia every chance they got. Now the tables have turned. The Uke's need the capital. Europe is about to freeze their asses off and the only place they can move major flows is through Ukraine (also don't forget NS flows were dramatically decreasing) Simply, the Uke's need Russian capital and the Euro's need the gas. Now there is only one place for that flow to move. Nobody can negotiate with Russia to move more direct flow through NS. It has to come via one route. My guess is there are already the beginning of talks to move more flow via

Many of the same allegations & accusations surround them whether it be concerning accumulation of fortunes, their wives/girlfriends, the possible deviosity of adult children, stalking of their younger children and their mothers; being totally crazy and having nuke control, and being so mad that they're willing to destroy even all that they hold dear.

You could auto-tune my voice and I could produce a better rap than at least 50% of these no talent ass clowns.

433 Praying we still have an election in November- and that God grants his favor to those that would oppose the globalist cabal that have stolen our elections.

Also - Love Louisiana first step to divest Blackrock. I hope for red states (run by actual conversatives not establishment controlled opposition) that is would kick off a firestorm of divestment in any institution or firm that promotes communist cabal ideology via ESG.

We need a movement for BDS against ESG and we need it now. As much as it depends on us- starve that beast of the cash it craves to feed its ravenous appetite to devour and destroy.

435 I highly doubt anyone in Quiet City Swamp is panicky over this whole silly election stuff. After '20, they're back to the shell game as usual, and they're acting like it.

McCarthy and McConnell-- through their funding of R candidates or lack thereof -- are signaling that ALL they care about, if they care at all, is a majority just barely large enough to deliver the perks ( and grift) of ' leadership' and Nothing more.

436 @Beyond Norman Parameters -

I'm pretty sure you are right - just enough to get the fancy nameplate, but not too big that the MAGA crowd might be a threat to their power. I think McCarthy is at much higher risk of missing his chance to pick up the gavel again than McConnell is sadly (sadly because I'd be much happier if neither of them were in positions of any leadership after November, and a D with the gavel is only slightly worse).

437 Another thing- the Florida COVID study sounds like controlled oppo designed research. Let's design a study that the COVID vaxx sceptics will rally to - but let's design it so sloppily that it be easily debunked.

I'm really getting sick of the bad novelist level of writing on this show, I'd like a new writing team.

Putin waging war does not make him a good guy, pal. That does not mean nor should it mean I support going to war with him or to prop up Zelensky either.

That you do not get that from my writings for the past 7 months is ponderous.

439 The only nit I have to pick today is that Soviet communism clearly pre-dated the Nazis. It's just too bad that FDR didn't let them bleed each other dry, instead of providing the Soviets enough supplies to not only beat the Nazis but keep the Soviets going for another 50 years.

Complaining that striking a blatantly legit military target = terrorism gets a pundit or outlet tossed straight onto the ignore list. Words have meanings.

Don't call it gun control; that's what you use at the gun range or when shooting a perp.
It's gun confiscation. It's 2nd Amendment Violations.

444 No, hitting the pipeline doesn't help the Dems. It hasn't translated into greater support for involvement in Ukraine - why would it? If it had been a strike on a non-Russian pipeline subsequently blamed on Russia, then maybe. If it was intended to "inflame" the Kremlin into acting more belligerent it wouldn't translate into more support here. Any assumed political benefits would be too disconnected from the actual act as to result in any "gain." At most, you'd get existing true believers laughing about a "dunk on Putin."

The Kremlin, on the other hand, has already demonstrated a willingness to kill their own people to maintain power (a la the apartment bombings at the end on 1999). The act would have TREMENDOUS political benefit in Muscovy in trying to shore up support for the war. On its face, those who benefit the most are in the Kremlin, not DC.

446 "You maniacs are poking the damn bear when you should be de-assing with the quickness at warp speed away from him" I don't know. The US made treaties with Ukraine at the close of the Cold War. Do you want to ignore those? As shit as Putin's army is, do you think he's going to stop with Ukraine? When he's at the Rhine is a little late to change your mind.

449 Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. A formerly great, formerly powerful nation that has been humbled by the tides of fortune, who then starts getting all militaristic and starts invading the little guys next door, isn't something that should be ignored.

I tend to agree with sending military aide to Ukraine, simply because I think that if Ukraine can either defeat or at least do serious damage to Russia, they will be forced to stop doing invasions. It's pretty clear they intended to go after Moldova next. At some point, they have to be stopped.

The opportunity to stop them using Ukraine's military instead of our own is a pretty juicy opportunity.

We just need to get Biden to STFU and I think we'd be doing fine.

450 Sorry, JJ, that top pic casts a poor reflection of those who were awarded the medal. I understand what was meant but it just leaves a bad taste--especially in light of the fact there are a couple instances of the bronze being awarded posthumously in our clan.
