Pretty much no one, is the answer. Maybe a few legislators here and there. Maybe a little lip service to appease those crazy conspiracy theorists. But nothing to the degree it should be talked about.
Except Donald Trump. And he’s been doing it for years and years and years, even back to when no one was listening.
This is one thing I mean when I say we as a people & govt must go past typical politics. The war is different. It goes beyond the actual cards. It’s an information war of narratives, and the patterns and tells associated with the absence of information is just as important as the little peeks the information makes themselves.
Follow the cards but follow the tells even more. Specific actuals and general narratives.
It’s why you have people being called conspiracy theorists–it’s to shame them and shut them up. This is why people love Donald Trump. He isn’t just a regular candidate. He is the face of a movement that has long been tired of having its voice silenced by those in power. He is the voice of a movement that could never speak up for itself. And it is why We the People must get behind him as this trial and election season looms. Like his personality or not, he is fighting for the most vulnerable and innocent among us. And no one else is.
Yup, Jennifer Guskin (a SRA victim who wuz trafficked an' still is harassed--CPS removed her kids, etc) made a recordin' specifically 'bout The Donald promisin' to help her. Ivanka was mentioned too. I DO believe HER (an' hope The Donald meant it...)
Trump has proven track record of aiding individuals who can do nothing for him, except express gratitude, in return. ck out this short video; Angela Stanton Delivers A Speech That Every American Should Listen To ~ Black Woman Delivers Powerful Speech In Support Of Donald Trump, Blasts Kim Kardashian For Being Fake;
EXACTLY! Any mislabeling of Trump as a an egotist or other deliberately demeaning terms are actually attributes of someone who has a strong masculine personality, which is sorely lacking in our society and leadership today.
Human trafficking, particularly of children is the largest revenue earner of the criminals running the world right now. Those in power are doing all they can to continue these atrocities that also include drug and arms trafficking in it's tentacles.Trump not only has the financial means to fight against them but the moral conscience w the determination necessary to do so. Anyone against that notion is sus to me.
Could be he’s allowed to win. Chaos either way, he could be loudly blamed for all, plus the line he seems to walk concerning the Plandemic, warp speed and the huge money creation, most of which fed the beast, and provided for and still does the marketing campaign for the technology injections. The ‘people’ got their little piece of the ‘chocolate ‘ bar to chill them out, but it was a very small fraction of the loot.
Yes, exactly right. Most fanatical MAGAs seem to conveniently forget about Trump's pride in having kicked off 'Operation Warp Speed." He's even referred to himself as being the "Godfather of the Vaccines".
DJT vax was THERAPEUTIC HCQ NOT MRNA. He was constantly fed MISINFORMATION when in office not to mention constantly fighting against DD which he is still doing!
Trump launched the official “Operation Warp Speed”.. which was the rollout of the mRNA vaxxes. He still brags about it to this day This makes me quite suspicious. But, as I said… America, and the world, will be far better off with Trump as president.
The way I see it, votin' in Trump fer many of us with clear eyes ain't purdy but it's like a punch in the nose (we don't love it but we kin take it...)--Fer the never-again'erz /TDS team they'd ruther have somebuddy take a serrated pineapple corer ta their sniffer than allow Trump in office--talk'bout cuttin' off yer nose ta spite yer face! Hence the panic (pan-ick) of those beggin' ta be CORED an' thereby GORED (an' not just by con-artist Al either!)
So joinin' ya in the mixed up world of the clear-eyed an' bloody-nosed-- whuther they take 'im out or cheat ta git creepy "Joe" bag inta orrifice--may not matter; we might not even have an eeee-lect-shun the way things're goin'--an' THAT bodes ominously for the remnants of the entire Western World...
Trump did everything The Owners wanted him to do - Warp Speed and kissing the wall chief among them.
He is a pro-government establishment candidate. He will never abolish the FBI or the Fed. He will expand government and domestic military intervention because he loves the military. OWS was a military-corporate operation. He is obsessed with Israel and loves their genocide.
It's the same shit in a different wrapper. MAGA people just make excuses for the behaviour because 'it's MAGA.'
Theatre of war: Australia’s covid response was a joint US military domestic terrorism operation.
After reading this article, you can take your NSA-CIA drone strike/spy facilites at Pine Gap and US military hardware at a minimum of 10 other Australian locations and US Marines on permanent rotation in Darwin and kindly rack off.
I think a lot of our American friends don’t quite realise just how much impact U.S politics have on our little patch in the South Pacific. I feel we certainly have a right to weigh in on the debate.
That is the likely scenario, John. If I were a gambling gal, my money would be on the lone gunman modus operandi. So easy. Two murders and you're done and dusted!
Yep, I can’t realistically see them allowing him back in the Oval Office. God knows they’ve tried everything in order to get him bounced off the ticket… the irony in that alone is incredible…. they’re tampering with the election process to supposedly prevent HIM from tampering with the election process. Yes, I can only see this going one way.
you can't be successful at much of anything w/o ego, let alone win a presidential run. (see Dr. Ben Carson for more details on being Mr. Humble Pie Nice Guy, but losing elections). if his ego didn't care about the country, he'd have been much wealthier, loved & less tormented by leftists by not entering politics & enraging the fascistic commies. if it weren't for his sacrifice, we'd be living in hillary's hell hole since a while back & certainly the barkingly awkward DeSanctis, who is clearly putting his ego/ personal wealth above country isn't going to amount to anything, nor is neocon nikki.
i was responding to your comment, "Please Note: I’m no great believer in Donald Trump…. I believe his ego is so massive—that being president, far outweighs any genuine intentions he may have for the future of America and its people."
i read the whole thing, and quite clearly you found a need to say, "Please Note: I’m no great believer in Donald Trump…. I believe his ego is so massive—that being president, far outweighs any genuine intentions he may have for the future of America and its people.", so i responded.
I agree with your overall sentiment. Too bad Trump’s intellectual prowess doesn’t quite match the ego size. Lots of folks here think the PTB will actually allow him to win the election but for whatever reasons he will never serve another day in office. Yes, rocky times ahead in 2024 for a formerly great constitutional republic.
Very eloquently put, Heidi. I completely agree with you. (Well, I'm more positive about Meatball Ron--though I love the phrase "barkingly awkward" lol--but as for the rest of the people and points, I couldn't agree more.)
I realize John responded pointing out that his note makes clear that after the final calculus is done, he still comes down on the side of Trump being markedly better than the dystopian alternative (which I also agree with, obviously haha)--and I greatly enjoy and deeply respect John's work, so I'm not trying to troll or toss stones--but I do think there is an interesting nuance here, if I may.
A lot of people decry Trump's ego and narcissism as reasons to reject him, or at the very least as qualifiers for why they cannot fully embrace him as a candidate, only reluctantly voting for him as the lesser of two evils. I don't begrudge people this view--it's their prerogative, and frankly an understandable stance--but I have come to respectfully disagree with it for two reasons:
1) I contend Trump's ego is connected to his success and the adoration (and yes, power) it can generate. Previously, this was in the realm of business, real estate, and media. Now, he has shifted to the realm of politics... and still media. Always media haha. As such, his ego demands the success of the American experiment and the adoration of the American people, which is a good thing as far as America and is citizenry is concerned. Is this the healthiest thing psychologically, perhaps not. Are there potential perils as well, especially if Trump is left unchecked--which he certainly will not be ha--perhaps so. However (and I know people will go to their grave disagreeing with me here), I believe that the people who point out Trump's ego as demonstrative of how he cares only about himself and simply wants to be a self-serving dictator are missing that important component of his personality: It is *not* that Trump is not narcissistic. (He puts his name in gold on everything he builds, sure he is haha!); it is that Trump's narcissism now inextricably relies on America's success. He associates himself with that endeavor, just as he did his businesses. He associates his prosperity and lifestyle with the unique economic and social systems of America. (Again, others may hate America--at least that version of it--and those systems, and thus hate Trump, that's their prerogative.) He feels a personal stake in its success. If someone (or some nation) is trying to "get one over" on his company (or country) he takes it personally and wants to win. If someone isn't doing their job and is wasting (taxpayer) money, he wants them fired. If someone is trying to subvert American ideals, he wants them stopped. This is a good thing for the U.S. I wish more politicians had this view, instead of gladly selling America down the river time and time again because they have absolutely zero personal stake in its principles or success.
As you rightly point out, the enormous--and otherwise wholly unnecessary--reputational, financial (Yes, he is profiting too in some ways, but in the long run he was waaaay better off with golf courses), legal, and (one can only assume) physical/emotional damage he and his family have suffered as a result of this enterprise supports this thesis in my opinion. The guy was the toast of the town among liberal elites, palling around with Oprah, dropping in on Home Alone 2 and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air... all until he went rogue and everyone woke up the next day to suddenly realize that, obviously, the same sleazy salesman they'd been having martinis with the night before was actually Hitler Satan! Strange. (Even stranger how it just keeps happening whenever anybody breaks with the Orthodoxy: https://honestlyre.substack.com/p/dr-cornel-west-runs-against-biden)
And (again, as John also points out) not only did Donnie save us from a Hillarian hellscape, but also--after witnessing the nation's Building 7 freefall-speed implosion under Biden/Obama 2.0--Donnie is clearly our best bet help America at least claw its way back up to "normal" levels of bad haha, instead of the subterranean levels of atrocity where we have found ourselves, with no border, more crime, more drugs, dumpster fire economy, looming energy crisis, foreign wars, transanity pushed on kids, and constant attacks on Constitutional rights. Even Dante and Virgil never made it this far down! For now, we need to just Make America Bad Again! #MABA, baby! We'll keep climbing up to "Good," then "Great," from there, hopefully, but first things first lol
2) Virtually everyone in politics is a narcissist with a massive ego. Not saying that's great haha. Heck, I agree with Socrates and Plato when they advocated the superiority of a Philosopher King because only those who do not wish for political power can be trusted with it. However, I'm truly sorry to say, that King (or Queen) ain't walking through that door anytime soon lol. So, as I mentioned above, I'll take the guy whose ego is at least partially invested in the success of the nation, instead of warmongers like Neocon Nikki and Lindsey Graham Cracker, fascist hypocrites like Newomlini, glib sociopaths like Obama and Clinton, or compromised plants (literally, a venal house plant, to quote Andrew Klavan) overseeing the intentional disintegration of the nation like Sleepy Joe. Or Cocaine Mitch. Or Witch Queen Pelosi. Or Hot Dog King Chris Christie, heck, globally Blair, Macron, Trudeau... how it is that people can blithely support *these* politicians (I know some are parliamentary systems), but somehow shriek and clutch their pearls at this hereto unheard of singular egoism of Donald Trump is quite amusing to me. (Once more, just to be clear, I'm not saying John does this, quite the contrary in fact, I just got a decent rant going that will likely be a whole separate article at some point, so I'm running with it haha)
Speaking of which, a lot more to say, but I've ranted enough here and will save the rest for my eventual "Why I'm Voting for The Don Again" article. And, hey, could I be wrong? Sure. Did Donnie make mistakes, like keeping Fauxi around and "Warp Speeding" the clotshots? Sure did! Could all of this be some of 5D chess and Trump is just another actor on the stage playing a part, and playing people like me in the process? Sure. It's possible. But, I make the best assessments I can at the time with information I have available, and this is how things look from over here, so I figured I'd pass it along ;)
The heart for like is not big enough for that incredible comment! It’s by far the best reader comment ever made on Shouting in space! You’re going to be a huge success on Substack. Thank you.
I am humbled and honored by that exceedingly gracious response, John, especially because I have admired your work here (and appreciated your support) ever since I first dipped my toe in the Substack pool. You have built a fantastic force for good and have cultivated a wonderful readership, so if my mad musings can also be of some value then I am elated to hear that :)
One issue that annoys me is the ubiquitous use of the term narcissist. I doubt that the many that have labelled him are educated physiologists. I grew up w a full blown BPD narc. He is not a narcissist.
It's obvious to me that the brainwashing has been successful when most think it's inherently better to be a spineless corrupt wimp than a strong character independent successful thinker in our society.
People sometimes confuse "ego" w "narcissism", and while everyone who has great accomplishments has 'ego', I would argue Trump is NOT of the wealthy, narcissistic/parasitic class, but rather he is ALTRUISTIC. He has demonstrated a great deal of empathy, hates to see suffering, and demonstrated altruism in actions. Prior to entering politics, Donald Trump's private jet carried a critically ill 3-year-old Jewish boy from California to New York for medical treatment in 1988. He helped a widowed woman in 1986 financially to save her family farm when her husband committed suicide & they were left unprepared to deal w predatory tax laws. He had nothing to gain from such acts personally or professionally (there were others some listed here: https://wjno.iheart.com/content/2020-02-11-qa-of-the-day-altruism-by-president-trump-that-goes-unnoticed/ ).
We all know the extent to which Trump tried to avoid the devastation Fauci, Birx & others were insistent would happened if hospitals were overwhelmed, so he did everything in his power to set up field hospitals, sent a Red Cross ship to NY when Cuomo was screeching about overwhelmed hospitals, and was desperately trying to SAVE LIVES. Watch what happed as he tried desperately to make HCQ available, he worked a deal w Pres Modi to get it to the US ( he was taking it himself ) and working to make ALL OPTIONS available. Here's the outrage over that; take a few min listen:
As to the vax, Trump's RIGHT TO TRY saved lives by circumventing the corrupt FDA which was what he did to make the vax available as well for those demanding that option also. He NEVER wanted mandates for ANY medication, he simply worked for FREEDOM OF MEDICAL CHOICE FOR ALL. Currently at his recent rally events he promises to CANCEL FUNDING to any school or govt org that mandates either the vax or masks. Sounds to me like a man who works (for free on many occasions) to PROTECT LIFE, LIBERTY AND FREEDOM FOR THE GREATEST MINORITY OF ALL, THE INDIVIDUAL. That's operating on an altruistic, not egotistic / narcissistic level.
Jeez…. I thought I made it quite clear that America will be far better off under Donald Trump than the current leftwing rats nest acting as a democratic political administration. I wish some of you could get past my “personal feelings on Trump” and perhaps comment on the CRUX of my post regarding his potential ASSASSINATION and the catastrophic events that will quite likely unfold as a result should his enemies choose to take that route. Or doesn’t that mean anything to you? Have you not considered the seriousness of this situation?
No doubt some. But I’m quite confident most U.S readers of Shouting in space are fully aware of 5 eyes… and dare I suggest, Julian Assange’s nationality.
That's what he was touting I never at anytime looked into whether it was manufactured or not. He also left the decision up to the states and individuals are the jab.

HQ not mRNA
Can you show evidence that OWS was a mass manufacture and distribution of HQ as opposed to mRNA ?
When there are no rational arguments anymore, all you can do is accuse, falsely impeach, smear, fling epithets, and threaten violence.
Sad ta say it, the "ahrts" community (whuts left've it here'bouts) STILL believes that ANYTHING is better than Orange Man Bad.... even the the bilge warter sack'o'hammers we call the "entity" Biden (i.e. https://thcsofdaisymoses.substack.com/p/where-where-the-hell-is-joe-a-spankin ). Still.
TDS is stronger here than PTSD!!!! Lordy.
The way I see it, votin' in Trump fer many of us with clear eyes ain't purdy but it's like a punch in the nose (we don't love it but we kin take it...)--Fer the never-again'erz /TDS team they'd ruther have somebuddy take a serrated pineapple corer ta their sniffer than allow Trump in office--talk'bout cuttin' off yer nose ta spite yer face! Hence the panic (pan-ick) of those beggin' ta be CORED an' thereby GORED (an' not just by con-artist Al either!)
So joinin' ya in the mixed up world of the clear-eyed an' bloody-nosed-- whuther they take 'im out or cheat ta git creepy "Joe" bag inta orrifice--may not matter; we might not even have an eeee-lect-shun the way things're goin'--an' THAT bodes ominously for the remnants of the entire Western World...
Or else it will be his double that is assassinated and whenhe walks out on stage after, the whole corrupt deep state shebang is blown wide open.
Wishful thinking I know
Yeah real smart.👎
Great read John!
Thank you!
Trump did everything The Owners wanted him to do - Warp Speed and kissing the wall chief among them.
He is a pro-government establishment candidate. He will never abolish the FBI or the Fed. He will expand government and domestic military intervention because he loves the military. OWS was a military-corporate operation. He is obsessed with Israel and loves their genocide.
It's the same shit in a different wrapper. MAGA people just make excuses for the behaviour because 'it's MAGA.'
Which is still 1000 times better than Biden.
Very presumptive. Especially coming from another country.

He helped a widowed woman in 1986 financially to save her family farm when her husband committed suicide & they were left unprepared to deal w predatory tax laws. He had nothing to gain from such acts personally or professionally (there were others some listed here: https://wjno.iheart.com/content/2020-02-11-qa-of-the-day-altruism-by-president-trump-that-goes-unnoticed/ ).
We all know the extent to which Trump tried to avoid the devastation Fauci, Birx & others were insistent would happened if hospitals were overwhelmed, so he did everything in his power to set up field hospitals, sent a Red Cross ship to NY when Cuomo was screeching about overwhelmed hospitals, and was desperately trying to SAVE LIVES. Watch what happed as he tried desperately to make HCQ available, he worked a deal w Pres Modi to get it to the US ( he was taking it himself ) and working to make ALL OPTIONS available. Here's the outrage over that; take a few min listen:

As to the vax, Trump's RIGHT TO TRY saved lives by circumventing the corrupt FDA which was what he did to make the vax available as well for those demanding that option also. He NEVER wanted mandates for ANY medication, he simply worked for FREEDOM OF MEDICAL CHOICE FOR ALL. Currently at his recent rally events he promises to CANCEL FUNDING to any school or govt org that mandates either the vax or masks. Sounds to me like a man who works (for free on many occasions) to PROTECT LIFE, LIBERTY AND FREEDOM FOR THE GREATEST MINORITY OF ALL, THE INDIVIDUAL. That's operating on an altruistic, not egotistic / narcissistic level.

Jeez…. I thought I made it quite clear that America will be far better off under Donald Trump than the current leftwing rats nest acting as a democratic political administration. I wish some of you could get past my “personal feelings on Trump” and perhaps comment on the CRUX of my post regarding his potential ASSASSINATION and the catastrophic events that will quite likely unfold as a result should his enemies choose to take that route. Or doesn’t that mean anything to you? Have you not considered the seriousness of this situation?
No doubt some. But I’m quite confident most U.S readers of Shouting in space are fully aware of 5 eyes… and dare I suggest, Julian Assange’s nationality.
That's what he was touting I never at anytime looked into whether it was manufactured or not. He also left the decision up to the states and individuals are the jab.
