Late Night photog – 3 – Cthulhu Fills In

Cthulhu – Well we’re back.  And for those tuning in late I’m Cthulhu and I’m filling in for photog while he explains some things to the FBI in DC this week.  Well, we hope it’s just this week because, honestly, I do have better things to do than amuse his audience, I can tell you that.  But enough complaining.  We’ve got a great show tonight.  I’ve provided my own band this week.  I’ve got George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty of the Stationary Wilburys and they’ll be singing their new song, “Come on Down Bob, it’s a Dry Heat.”  And later on, I’ll be talking to Sadaam Hussein about his new book, “They Weren’t Kidding!”

But now let’s give a big hand to that master of disaster, Henry Kissinger!  Hey Henry, how the hell are you?

Kissinger – Funny you should put it that way, Cthulhu.  It is a bit hot down there for my liking but I won’t bore you with my problems.  All in all, it’s been an interesting experience.  I’ve had a chance to catch up with Dick Nixon and some of the other boys from my salad days.  Good times.  But really my next assignment is what I’m interested in.

Cthulhu – What’s that Henry?

Kissinger – I’m doing contract work for the administration down there.  Apparently, Lucifer is short on strategic thinkers, at least modern ones.  Would you believe it, Metternich was still on the job down there.  He never got anything done but just kept repeating “Might through Right! Might through Right!”  Hopeless old bird.  I don’t know what people saw in him.

Cthulhu – What kind of strategic planning does Hell need?

Kissinger – Trust me.  Everyone needs planning.  Recently Black Rock reduced our ESG score because we hadn’t assigned pronouns for Baphomet on his infernal stationery and business cards.  Those guys are brutal and they just don’t give a crap who they hurt.  So, I busted my hump first day, right out of the chute and got BR to cut us a little slack until I had a chance to reform things.  Luckily for the Prince of Darkness I know where the bodies are buried at Black Rock so everything worked out.  But I tell you there’s no rest for the wicked.  Literally!

Cthulhu – Tell me about it!  Last month I was returning from laying waste to a stellar system inhabited by fungoid beetle beings.  You know, real eldritch Great Old Ones stuff.  And accidentally I tracked in a little plutonium from the finale.  Well somehow the EPA and the NRC got wind of it and now they’re all up in my business and they’re even threatening to pull my NGO status and shut down my cult.  Bureaucrats.

Kissinger – Well, I don’t want to interfere but my contract with Lucifer isn’t exclusive and I still have lots of friends in Washington.  If you’d like, I’ll straighten the thing out for you.

Cthulhu – Why, that’s mighty nice of you Henry.  How can I repay you?

Kissinger – Funny you should ask.  There’s one thing I could really use is a flunky down here.  I need someone with absolutely no scruples, an inveterate liar and low intelligence as a whipping boy in my dealing with his Satanic Majesty.

Cthulhu – You want Biden?

Kissinger – In a word, yes.  He’s not due down here for ten more years but if you’ve got the bandwidth, it would really help me out if he could be delivered in early 2025.

Cthulhu – Hey no problem.  I’m supposed to ease him out of his gig this year so consider it done.  But I tell you; dealing directly with him is no picnic.  Even I feel contaminated after dealing with that skunk.  Well, to each his own.

Kissinger – Thanks.  But I better be going.  I don’t want to be late for my morning lake of fire immersion.  If I’m last, I get stuck next to Hitler and Stalin and then it’s just bitch, bitch, bitch.

Cthulhu – Everybody, Henry Kissinger!  Give him a big Late-Night round of applause.

Policy Foreign

photog Current Events ,

Our foreign policy is run by people whose plan seems to be destabilizing the whole world.  They have simultaneously provoked crises in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Far East and now South America.  That is impressive by any standard.  They haven’t managed to piss off the Pope but only because he happens to be an atheistic pedo-protecting commie like them.

Maybe the most interesting thing about this situation is that they don’t seem at all alarmed that a lot of it is going badly for the sides they allegedly support.  Ukraine seems to be failing in its war with Russia.  The West African nations that revolted against the Western approved leaders have seemingly triumphed over the response from France and the United States.  The United States has given such mixed signals in the Gaza war that both the Israelis and the Arabs are angry at Dementia Joe.  China has basically shrugged its shoulders and walked away from any negotiations about Taiwan.  And now Venezuela has sized up the United States’ depleted military condition and decided to annex the oil-rich two thirds of its neighbor Guyana.

Venezuela is most probably causing trouble at the suggestion of Russia.  Putin is looking to punish the United States for forcing the Ukraine war.  While Donald Trump was in office the world mostly got a break from the color revolution Neo-Con skullduggery that was the order of the day during the Obama years.  Relations with our adversaries was respectful and quiet.  But now that Biden has allowed the Kagans and their allies to once again destabilize an unsuspecting world, we can expect all our enemies like Iran, North Korea, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, Cuba and the rest of them to align with Russia and China and cause us grief wherever they can.  And they are.

But worse, the actions of this administration have even driven India, Turkey and Saudi Arabia into the Russians’ arms too.  Now this takes a very special kind of stupid.  The only thing they haven’t done yet is radicalize the Canadians.  But the year isn’t quite over yet so who knows.

You know, it’s hard to understand if there is some method to this madness.  They legitimately seem more interested in the public relations victories around LGBTQ inclusion in places like Afghanistan than in the legitimate priorities of the American people.  The only thread that seems to connect all of the radical foreign policy adventures is that the Neo-Cons assume that the United States is still the unipolar hegemon over the whole planet and no other power can resist any of our actions at all.  So, Russia and China are playthings for us to swat around with no consequences to fear.  And smaller countries like Iran and Venezuela don’t even merit military consideration and can be controlled by economic sanctions.

Of course, the fact that we’ve just finished with twenty years of failed nation building in the Middle East and no longer can get enough recruits to keep our armed forces at full strength doesn’t even register with the adventurers in the State Department and the CIA.  They’re raring to go at other borders of the Russian sphere of influence in Central Asia and beyond.  It’s hard to imagine that these people are really as blind as they seem to be.  They don’t seem to care that they may unleash a war that will have very serious consequences for the citizens of this country.  Even a major nuclear exchange is hardly an impossibility in the brinksmanship environment that they’ve created.

Now, I understand that this is a dangerous world and the United States must play hardball with countries that are ideologically committed to destroying us.  Iran has been such a state for over forty years and China and Russia are major global adversaries of ours for many reasons.

But I almost feel that the Neo-Cons that have been in charge of our foreign policy for the last couple of decades are more dangerous to this country than all of the rest of the world put together.  I don’t know if it’s practical or even possible to clean house at the CIA and the State Department but if I were Donald Trump, I’d clean out those two viper’s nests as one of the first orders of business.  Well maybe right after the FBI.  But definitely pretty soon after.

Chris Rufo Talks About the Anticipated Rioting for Election Season 2024

photog Current Events , ,

After the 2020 Summer of George Floyd color revolution I guess it makes sense to anticipate a return performance in 2024.  Chris Rufo has written an article to discuss the prospects and possibly the solution to a repeat performance next summer:

“Progressives are restless and ready. Left-wing activists have established a constellation of institutions to support public demonstrations. Protest NGOs, media entities, research centers, black-bloc networks, and bail funds are all finely tuned to mobilize mass movements.”

“Red-state governors should start preparing now. They should instruct state law enforcement to establish interagency task forces to monitor, infiltrate, and disrupt violent left-wing activist networks to the fullest extent permitted by law. If they uncover illegal activity, they should make arrests and prosecute offenders.”

“Republican officials must also shift incentives. Governors should pass legislation increasing penalties for rioting and train National Guard units in anti-riot tactics. After Floyd’s death, Florida governor Ron DeSantis demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach. In 2020, DeSantis activated the National Guard and declared “zero tolerance” for violence. As a result, Florida saw minimal rioting, looting, and destruction compared with many other states.”

Rufo thinks that rioting is now a standard part of the Left’s playbook for election season.  If he’s right then it’s important for red-state governors to be ready to handle violence in their blue cities when it breaks out.

A Thank You to the Guest Contributors

photog Current Events, Guest Contributors , ,

Over the last few days there have been a goodly number of essays on rights.  And it is apparent that the specific view points of the writers differ on a number of points.  And yet the debate and the tenor of the writing has been exceptional.

I want to thank all the participants for the level of the discourse and especially for the friendly and respectful nature of the discussion.  I’m sure everyone has witnessed the opposite behavior when the stakes were much, much lower in terms of the matter under discussion.

Thank you for myself and for the other readers for taking the high road.  And personally I found the discussion very enlightening.  If only the debates in the Congress of this country could be half as sincere, learned and intelligent we wouldn’t be in the sorry state in which we currently find ourselves.

Fear and Loathing Wrapped Up in a Box

photog Current Events , ,

Anyone who claims to know incontestably who will be sworn in as president in January of 2025 is either delusional or a Bond villain who can control the future through five-dimensional chess manipulation of world events.  The rest of us can just fuss and fret.  But one thing is absolutely true.  The pundits on the Left have completely lost their minds about the current polls.  All and sundry are writing articles that sound like they have foam spouting from their noses, mouths and ears, while screeching to the heavens that Donald Trump is the bastard love-child of Vlad the Impaler and Catherine the Great and that he will swill the blood of innocents and pile up mountains of Leftists’ skulls around the White House.

Now granted, I could only wish this were true.  Even the idea of Nancy Pelosi and OAC lashed on the pillory makes my mouth water.  But alas, none of their rabid imaginings is even slightly accurate.  Trump is a conventional American citizen.  His delusions of grandeur are of the monetary variety.  He would like to be much wealthier than he is but he has no blood lust.  Mores the pity.

For the most part these dire predictions of a Caesarian coup d’état are a scare tactic meant to frighten voters into seeing Dementia Joe as the lesser of two evils.  And I have to give them credit.  The sheer volume of their caterwauling has been impressive.  It seems like the Atlantic has devoted all their resources to seeing just how many separate “authors” they can convince to provide these hysterical hit pieces on the subject.  And the Washington Post and the New York Times are not far behind in the project.  My favorite is Joe Scarborough ranting about how Joe Biden is the friend of “Big Oil” and therefore Trump’s promise to “drill baby drill” is an empty one because we’re already doing everything that can be done to bring down the price of oil.  Morning Joe in this clip is apoplectic.  When his demented partner Mika Brzezinski tries to interject a comment, it looked like he wanted to slap her to keep from being interrupted.  But, so what?  What good does it do that these people are bouncing off the walls and spinning out of control?

Well, no physical good.  None of us can put money in the bank from it.  It doesn’t shorten Joe Biden’s term in office.  Certainly not.  But there is such a thing as schadenfreude.  There is a satisfaction that can be had from watching the people who hate you, suffer, even if the suffering is merely baseless psychotic panic.  It’s still fun.  In fact, maybe it’s even more fun because it’s completely a figment of their fevered imaginations.

Now in a way it’s not completely baseless panic.  Some of it is a flashback to election night 2016 when against all odds Hillary Clinton went down in flames.  I remember Rachel Maddow and such other idiots as Miley Cyrus screeching and sobbing and mourning the end of the world; “It was her turn!”  The idea of Trump coming back haunts their dreams and frightens them out of their tiny wits.  So, imagining that their fear is a well founded one based on Trump’s bottomless evil plans to destroy “our democracy” makes sense of their fear.

So even though nothing tangible accrues to me by reading these screeds I read them for the pure enjoyment of experiencing the fear of these awful people.  So, all you lefty scribes, keep it coming.  It’s the nicest Christmas present you could give me.  Ho, ho, ho.

Guest Contributor – War Pig – 06DEC2023 – Human Rights

Rights are an invention. Humans have no natural rights. We have what we can defend. No more. They are priviliges we have concocted for our society.

What good did human “rights” do for those murdered, raped and tortured by Hamas? Those who elected to jump to their deaths on 9/11 rather than waiting for the flames to take them? The citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Of Dresden? Auschwitcz and Buchenwald? A right is an inalienable thing. Strangers, mother nature, other groups and even your own government can and will violate your “righrs” at a whim. That is why enshrining the “right” of the People to keep and bear arms was so genius. An armed populace does not docilely board rail cars for concentration camps. But unless militantly guarded, that “right” is also doomed. Many Democrats are all for repealing the 2d Amendment.

If you do not jealously guard your “rights” and defend them with zeal and tenacity you will surely lose them. Life? Liberty? Both can be rescinded on a whim by humans, bears or earthquakes. Pursuit of happiness? That is a state of mind. Toss me in a dungeon or sit me upon Persian pillows with servants to attend my every need. I cannot be stopped from pursuing happiness, although there is no guarantee I will find it.

 

Guest Contributor – War Pig – 06DEC2023 – Identity

Sounds ok to me. I am Germanic on dad’s side and Blackfoot on mom’s side. Of course there are various flavors melted into both sides. Dad’s side brought war brides home with them occasionally. Mom’s side has a small dash of Irish. She said an Irish mountain man couldn’t outrun one of her female ancestors. Dad’s side has a dash of Scottish and two dashes of undetermined Native American blood.

As a halfbreed I’ve experienced both acceptance and rejection from both races. Me and my brother look more like dad and sis looked more like mom. Go figure. So some natives think I’m an apple (Red on the outside and White inside) while some Palefaces considered me ro be another Red Nigger. Ya just have to let it roll off your back.

Being in both camps, most Black guys accepted me. After all, very few of them are African Black and have some Honky in their family trees. Other mixed folks get along as well. Very few Americans can claim pure ancestry if they’ve been in the US more than 3 generations. Even those who do so claim would likely be surprised by a DNA test. As soon as the Mayflower set sail from England people were fooling around ‘tween decks. Humans will fornicate with just about anybody. Even Strom Thurmond had a Black mistress for decades and a child with her.

So us mutts have a proud heritage of our own. We tend to be healthier due to a thing called hybrid vigor. Embrace your varied ancestry. After all, there’s nothing you can do about it.

As for the nation, I believe we need more Whiteish babies. Also we need to eject all the illegals who have bum rushed the border to provide Democrats with more voters and brown shirts. After all, look what happened to a good deal when the Palefaces were let in 416 years ago at Jamestown.

I also believe as the Founders did. Only those with a stake in the election should vote. No letting people with no property voting to raise property taxes. The masses will vote themselves bread and circuses as they did in ancient Rome and are doing so today. They can demand spending on their support by wealth redistribution, which is fancy robbery. When you rob from Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on Paul’s vote. AOC once said that taxes are the price you pay for living in a civilized country. Wrong. Taxes are the bribe you pay to stay out of prison.
