Russia will now only sell oil in Chinese yuan, further ending the petrodollar with profound effects upon the American economy, with inflation rising and the value of the dollar falling. Scott Ritter explains that the US can no longer be trusted with regard to international agreements, which makes diplomacy with the US a fool’s errand!
Reports from a witness have Trump addicted to many drugs, which may explain his erratic behavior, not only from day to day but even from hour to hour. And his Doral PGA golf tournament drew minimal attendance, because he has become the most despised man in the world today. US gas stocks are disappearing–oil, too, now expected to run out around the 4th of July, which will be a super way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence (1776).
agree russ on your take with rfk jr’s face in picture stills..great observation!
Humans evolved to prioritize group belonging over objective truth. For much of our history, being part of the “tribe” that worships a Hebrew desert war god, Yahweh, meant survival. That biological hard-wiring for tribalism hasn’t caught up to our technological or intellectual advancements. This is how we can explain the phenomenon of 80% of US population taking at least one injection of the covid bioweapon….group think.
Thinking for oneself is cognitively expensive and often leads to uncomfortable uncertainty. Following an ancient text or a “chosen” narrative provides a pre-packaged set of answers, which is a powerful sedative for people who are afraid of the complexity of the modern world.
For many white Gentiles, Jew religion isn’t about the truth; it’s about identity. When someone critiques the Iron Age logic, the believer doesn’t hear a logical argument; they feel a personal attack on their very existence. This is why you see people double down on “chosenness” or “holy war” even when it is demonstrably destructive.
For those who value reason, it can feel like being a passenger on a plane where the pilots are arguing over a 3,000-year-old map that doesn’t show the mountains ahead.
The frustration reasonable people have with the Bible, specifically the Old Testament, often stems from this exact “Iron Age” quality: Ethnocentrism: It’s a book written by a specific tribe, for a specific tribe, often at the expense of everyone else.
The Moral Paradox: It commands “thou shalt not kill” while simultaneously ordering the total “herem” (annihilation) of neighboring groups like the Amalekites.
Us vs. Them: It builds a worldview where the “Gentile” is essentially a background character or an obstacle in the “Chosen” people’s story.
When a population views those ancient, violent narratives as a literal blueprint for modern policy, it keeps them trapped in a cycle of conflict that logic cannot penetrate. Essentially, they are trying to navigate a globalized, nuclear world using a manual designed for Bronze Age desert warfare and tribal survival.
