Beauty and the Beastly Death Merchant

"Griner, of course, is an international celebrity by now. A black lesbian sports star who was jailed on what sounds to any reasonable person like a bogus charge — and certainly not one that deserved a nine-year prison sentence. Whelan is a white middle-aged businessman imprisoned on an espionage charge — a profile that pushes literally none of the buttons for the Democratic base that Biden depends on. Given those alternatives, Biden’s evident decision to pander to the impulses of the left was embarrassingly predictable. What’s even worse, though, is what Biden was doing the night before the world learned that he had bought the freedom of a woman who is a cause célèbre on the left by freeing a man who made a living dealing deadly munitions. He was attending a vigil for “all victims of gun violence” at a church in Washington, D.C."

    Let's take a look at the WH idiot's take on "The Art of The Deal". The Russians get a successful international weapons dealer that sells mainly Russian manufactured weapons to mainly third world combatants and America gets a black female lesbian dope smoking second rate basketball player that can barely spell her own name. Just can't make this sh-t up!

    Meanwhile, ex-marine Paul Whelan still languishes in a Russian prison on suspicion of spying.

    Wonder if the President sniffed Griner's "Wife"? In the article he is seen embracing her but you can see space between them. Actually, I have not yet seen him sniff an African American. I wonder why....he seems to like sniffing massaging and variously feeling up every other female he can get his hands on.

    The article neglected to say how Griner hates the Flag and the Anthem and basically anything else considered American.
    Tell me again about White Privilege. Because I’m having trouble discerning it in this case.

    First... Of Course he did.
    Second... Of Course the news changed the story so the WH does not look like the Pieces of Sh!t they are!

    Finally, Tim Pool offers a Translation:

    When they say "Our Democracy"

    In your head, you should hear: "Our CULT"

    So, These people are a threat to "Our CULT" is what they are saying. And that's how they ACT, and REACT. It 1000% explains their behavior.

    Our Existence threatens their ability to LIE to their CULT members...

    BTW, how do you know if you are in a CULT...
    It's based on what happens when you LEAVE.

    Tim Pool was a LEFTY... He left... Notice what they call him now... I think this is what made him realize what their language means...

    Putin knows how to play a libtarded twit when he finds one in the White House. Especially a corrupt sell-out.
    And what gets me is why would anyone want to go vacation in a place like Russia or Iran or North Korea?
    Hell, I wouldn't want to go to one of those made for Americans to play resorts in Mexico.
    And well before that senile old Puppet-In-Chief was instructed to allow an unconstitutional invasion, I wouldn't even go anywhere near the Mexican border, though I crossed it just to drive from Mexicali to Tijuana in one day during 1972.
    Mexico wasn't as dangerous way back then.

    Yeah, really. The way she dishes out those basketballs...

    Sorry, but she's not a "beauty." She has an ugly soul. You can tell what the Biden admin think of our military when they traded an arms dealer for her yet left a marine stranded. So despiccable.

    Yes, the elite Deep State are hypocrites as well as traitors and murderers.
    Try them and execute those guilty of treason and/or murder/genocide.
    The leftist darling was guilty of the drug charge in Russia.
    This is another great example of applying more "rights" to those that
    the Deep State approves of and no rights to the people who have
    peacefully demonstrated against the Deep State, e.g., those accused
    of Jan 6 "insurrection" who have been in jail for nearly 2 years without
    trial guaranteed by the Constitution.
    NIFO

    I was just switching back and forth on my radio between Sean Vanity and national PUBIC radio, and it's so damn funny how the stories complement each other, without hardly touching.

    PUBIC radio talks about how wonderful it is that an intersectional wonder goddess gets freed and what it means for the spineless old leader of the Dopeocrats.

    Sean Vanity is harping with his shrill voice on the trading of the Merchant of Death for this doper black lesbian ball player.

    They are both talking about the same thing, but each with its narrative. I don't care who is right. I hate it that one story is spun in so many different ways.

    The woman is an idiot, going to a foreign country and thinking she's a goddess and could get away with anything. Putin knew her intersectional value to America and used her as a chess piece to get a murderer turned loose.

    She should not be rewarded for being an idiot. Who cares she sucked a bong. But in a crazy country, look what can happen.

    FJB - The King of the Idiocratic States of America.

    I apologize to the people, but we really are idiots if we keep voting in corrupt looters over and over and over.

      Absolutely. Chess is the national past time in Russia. Let see, they traded a pawn for a knight. Brilliant move on their part. And Ukraine is nothing more than a chess match. Putin is probably ten moves ahead of Brandon.

        Checkmate occurred when Putin freed Crimea and the people voted to join Russia. The latest from Ukraine is further evidence of Devolution. A recent delivery of advance missile system to Zelensky had been altered to not be able to fire rockets into Russia. As hard as Biden has tried ( blowing up Nordstream2 , firing missile into Poland , Nuclear false flags ) he has not been able to get the war with Russia that he wants or I should say that the WEF (ReichsWEF) wants.

    Forget about taking the Oligarchs yachts and just snatch the Oligarch and his family and hold them for ransom as trading chips. I am sure these wealthy bastards have something as mundane as a little vape pen they could be jailed for. Putin and many other thugs and dictators play hardball with us and we need to play the game better.

    Trump got Three prisoners out of North Korea and gave North Korea nothing.
    Obama sent Taliban and Isis terrorists in trade for Bo Bergdahl a converted Muslim and military deserter.

    "a bogus charge"? Hardly, she was caught with a THC extract oil, (CBC oil, I think). The Russians have a very low tolerance for dopes using dope. Had she been caught in any number of very strict countries like Taiwan or China she would have been executed after "quick trial'. The evidence against Whelan is incredibly weak. He was found with a thumb drive in his jacket pocket. A real spy isn't carry their stolen data around in their open jacket pocket. It was almost certainly slipped into his pocket.
    But then again the head clown making these bad decisions is the guy who poops himself, so what did you really expect?

    I have always believed what was the American way before the touchy-fee lies knee jerked their ways into what is now considered justice, that it is "better for a hundred guilty to go free than that an innocent be punished." Those political prisoners should be brought home and the guilty found and punished later. Even the stupid or unliked innocents need their rights to be protected.

    I would lobby for the freedom of "a black lesbian sports star" and for "white middle-aged business man", a group I fit into a few years ago. The people who see people as groups and the people who see people as individuals with a natural right to be free should join forces.

      How to join? Seeing the group identity as superior to the individual is a fundamental split. How to bridge this difference in approach? The sovereignty of the individual is the greatest discovery of the Western world. Group identity is a step backwards.

        "How to join? "
        I think, well hope, that there is a long-term trend toward individual rights and reason. Maybe there was some evolutionary advantage to collectivism in a hunter-gather tribe. Then people formed nation-states that had a collective narratives so strangers from the same-nation state could work together. My hope is humankind is going into a post-nation-state era where the only collective narrative is reason and respecting rights, so all of humanity can work together on all kinds of productive endeavors as individuals seeking their own self-interest.

          Uh, not to burst your bubble, but collectivism is a relatively recent development. If you think about it, the only way for someone to exist as a looter is for there to first exist a critical mass of others to cover for the lack of production of that individual! And that's over and above what is needed for entire families, so that isn't a trivial number in the dozens or scores. Even kings and rulers had to do their part to negotiate trade deals with neighboring nations, oversee arming soldiers, etc., so they really don't count as looters (in most cases) either.

          It's also a mental thing, because most civilizations throughout history until only really in the last 80 years or so have been subsistence economies. The US since WW II has really been one of the first economies in the history of man where the majority of its citizens were so well off that even the poor had creature comforts and could afford to watch copious amounts of television and gorge themselves on fast food. I really don't think "evolution" has had anything to do with it. If anything, society has devolved away from the critical virtues of independence and hard work toward victimization (both of self and of others). Probably the single biggest metric confirming this can be seen in the black communities here in the United States where even before the Civil Rights act of 1964, the black population was generally healthy and happy. Look at it today: it's a wreck - filled with violence, gangs, and fatherlessless.

            You think the problems you mentioned (collectivism, looting, lack of independence, victimization, racism, violence, gangs, and fatherlessness) were mostly not as bad in the years and centuries prior to 80 years ago compared to during the last 80 years?

              Absolutely. See again the example I gave regarding the black population here in America. Thomas Sowell lays out a convincing case in several of his books. Being himself a black man living through it, I find his personal experience and professional evaluation to be not only persuasive, but authoritative.

                I hope you are wrong. I think the world is getting better in those areas. That's far from saying those problems are solved, but the long-term trend for humankind is away from those things.

                  It certainly would be if it were not for the race-hucksters and bigots on the left that continue to push a narrative of divisiveness and hate based on skin color. The Democrats support for the 1619 Project, Antifa, BLM, reparations, and Planned Parenthood all smack deeply of bias and racism.

                    "It certainly would be if it were not for [a group of bad actors]."
                    If the world would be acting with reason and respecting one another's rights if it weren't for a few bad guys, a idea that I think is patently absurd, that would be a good situation because the bad guys can't stay organized forever.

                    I just find the few-bad-actors idea absurd, though.

                    The billions of people of the world respecting one another's rights but working together through mutually-agreed trades is not easy to execute. People need a shared narrative of human interaction. The ancient narratives that historically allowed people to work together and are still with us today are often collectivistic, or at least are often interpreted that way.

                    So "it's a few bad guys" is a dead end for me, so absurd I can't imagine there being any truth to it. I think there are many good guys, good guys not acting through any of that political crap you mention, who move the world forward.

                      While idealistically I agree with you, the sad fact of the matter is that most people are sheep; they do NOT think for themselves. They don't reason or use their rational faculties nearly at all. It's why the Democrats have control of the United States in the first place. It's why most major big cities are run by Democrats. So you can "find the idea absurd" if you want to, but it's real life and it's pervasive. And it is the primary reason the United States is being destroyed.

                      "The ancient narratives that historically allowed people to work together..."

                      Uh.... The framework of natural rights is an extreme outlier in the annals of history - it certainly isn't the norm. Most of the history of the world has been aggression and coercion through monarchy and dictatorship. The United States' founding and rise to prosperity was a rather extreme anomaly. I'm not saying it isn't the way things ought to be, but one paints a 1619-ish, ie fabricated, portrait of history when one attempts to imagine a period in this world's history where natural rights represented the dominant cultural theory. To my knowledge, only the ancient Israelites (pre King Saul) and the Anglo-Saxons had any claims on a society based on natural rights prior to the American Founding.

                        Yes. I agree 100%. It's an anomaly, with no guarantee it will continue. I sometimes say liberty is "not the default state for humankind", but I like your wording better.

                        When I was talking about ancient narratives that allowed large groups of people to work together, I was not suggesting they involve respecting individual rights or that they were anywhere nearly as effective at generating prosperity as liberty is.

                        This is one reason why I find the notion of a few bad actors or one political party being the source of undermining liberty absurd. It's probably pointless to talk about it because I find it absurd on its face. I would be happy if it somehow turned out to be true (it isn’t) because it would simplify the problem of maintaining a government with limited powers granted to it by people who believe in personal liberty.

          You’ve ALMOST got it CG!!! You just left out the part about coercing others by threats of violence.
          Galt’s Gulch couldn’t exist without everyone playing their respective parts. We are all differently skilled.
          No one man is an island. Together we do fill in the pieces of the puzzle and make it complete. But no one ever should be forced to comply. That’s a slippery slope.

            I think, although I'm always open to new ideas, that not initiating violence flows from reason and respecting one another's rights. Even if it does flow logically, it does not hurt to err on the side of restating it.
