It is no more a waste of time and effort to believe in and support a candidate whose policies I agree with than it is to believe that we can somehow convince two warmongers like Trump and Biden that peaceful coexistence with the world is the way to go. In an honest vote count, the candidate with the most votes wins and we are limited to D or R only because we’ve allowed it to be that way. Personally, I’m done with that. Look at Mexico - Years of the PRI and PAN then came the Moreno party and Amlo. No one person will fix everything. There are no saviors but it’s a first step - kind of like putting on the brakes and telling the world we’re still here and ready to reach out.
Never let yourself be persuaded that any one Great Man, any one leader, is necessary to the salvation of America. When America consists of one leader and 158 million followers, it will no longer be America.
Which is why I said there are no saviors. But voting out the status quo is a first step. Any real change requires caring, learning, being involved and developing a capacity to once again work together as a nation and even more as a world
Sadly, I'm afraid that ship has sailed. 2020 was a Color Revolution. Orwell best describes our situation: One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes a revolution in order to establish a dictatorship.
George Orwell We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.
It is still my position that Orwell accurately describes our position. The New World Order Globalists we are dealing with have evolved into Jacobins. Fascism is a caricature of Jacobinism.
Howard Zinn said something similar but I think it would go a long way to elect a leader who has some backbone who does everything they can to be on the right side of history.
Sadly, Jill Stein the only option we had for that outcome, did not make the New York ballot. However, voting for Jill even as a write-in sends a message to the Monopoly party.
ANY vote is whistling in the dark, I'd say. Why? Because I don't trust this insane bunch that's running the country, who are NOT politicians at all! Our politics are coming from people behind the curtain... Look at BIDEN... do we really think he's been captaining the ship?
That said, I do think coming together and working together is KEY.
Well the beauty of America is that it now consists of a well-entrenched military-industrial complex, a fossilised class of a few thousand mis-leaders, most of whom never leave political office....and 340 million followers.
It’s too bad that people can’t somehow mobilize to try to get a really good, non-narcissistic, non-warmonger person to vote for. It’s a shame we let it get to this point.
I had hoped Jill Stein would be at least a stepping stone to show the weakness of the Monopoly party. Jill however, sh it the bed not making the New York ballot. I am still collection sig. for her ballot where I am. This could have been that Lincoln moment in time when a third party was in position to win. Now I think the Green Party is a tool of the Monopoly Party which they control. How could anyone in New York NOT collect 45k signatures? Jose Vega did it with all most no help state wide.
RFKjr. is the most PRO Genocide of all candidates. He had me fooled until he started that Palestinians are animals and need to be exterminated routine.
How can you be more pro genocide than someone who is currently providing the means for the IDF to commit genocide - like actual deaths, injuries and destruction?

The psychopathic Illuminati are hell bent to beat the Creator - become Gods...
With all due respect and not wishing to be negative, at what point do we consider that electoralism is no longer a viable strategy to effect change?
Just to confine the argument to very recent history: There has been a palace coup in the United States, knowingly enabled by the government, military, media, and oligarchs ("the donor class"). There is no President. There have been no full Cabinet meetings since 3 Oct. 2023. Decisions such as deploying long-range missiles to Germany have been made with no discussion, explanation, or accountability. Things just HAPPEN, seemingly by themselves, and nobody really seems to care all that much.
Why, exactly, do you believe we can simply vote our way out of this morass, and replace our rotting institutions and ruling classes with something that works for peace and the prosperity of the American people? (When, arguably, peace and prosperity haven't been the goal for a very long time, if ever.)
I am all for not blowing up the world, but at the same time the realist position would seem to indicate a deep and irreversible rot in the American experiment that cannot simply be voted away.
Missiles to Germany is not the worst of it. The US is putting 15 Military Bases in Finland with its 1,340km border with Russia and missiles in Poland, which has a 400km border with Belarus, Russias ally. There is a determination by the West to create a world war to hide their catastrophic debt problem. Most of what you read about Rusia is false. Listen to John Mearsheimer if you want the truth. Russia is NOT the aggressor, its the West.
There is the West nuance to that move. Missiles without Nuclear warheads (attached) I think is how it's phrased. Scott probably has already spoken to that.
I agree completely. I will not vote for anybody whose values I eschew, and the only person I will vote for for president is Jill Stein. With everything going on, I'm not so sure we don't need a nuclear war to wipe out the evil and let less violent species take over.

Exactly, this is a foreign occupied corporation that has been masquerading as the people republic form of Government from nearly the outset! The bill of rights is the only ratified law for we the people and ever since the removal of our peoples court jurisdictions; we have lived under absolute tyranny (lite)…. They removed our power to prosecute our own lives and transgressions against us at all levels. This ends only one way, when the people say no more of the two card Monty game and manifest the spirit of 1775…. Long live Samuel Whittemore!
"I am all for not blowing up the world, but at the same time the realist position would seem to indicate a deep and irreversible rot in the American experiment that cannot simply be voted away."
I don't remember what the name of the organization is off the top of my head, but James Rogusky has interviewed the founder. They're taking back the political system starting at the county level in many states.
There are lots of vacant seats at the county level, and all one has to do is sign up to get on the ballot and become a shoo-in. If enough people did this the hijacked political system would quickly spin out of the hijackers' control.
Nobody will ever nuke America. It is America that will nuke the ancient beauty of Moscow, St Petersburg, Crimea, along with all human beings there, including my family and all my friends. I am dreading not the nuclear death of the US, but the life after the US kills the world. It will become hell on Earth. It is already nearly impossible to breath free, wherever one is, the dark diabolical shadow of American madness is slowly covering the whole world, like a death cloud.
All of the nuclear missiles will be launched within 10 minutes of the first button pushed, from the land sites and the submarines. All of america will be destroyed within the hour or less. Anyone living will wish they were dead
No, I know my country. Russia will not touch civilians on purpose to exterminate them, no matter what. Only America, NATO and Israel are capable of genocides.
i was thinking that- maybe if the usa nuked russia, instead of responding in kind, russia would play up their victimhood and turn the united states into a global pariah. get china to embargo the usa (thus crippling it), get all the wavering countries to come to the eurasian axis of power because the usa is insane (proven by the nukes) and all the usa would be left with was its closest allies. im not comfortable making any projections for such a scenario because uhhhhh im just a guy just a little guy not an expert just a wee little fool. um. i'd imagine a weakness might be chinese businessmen who want money BUT if they play up the whole 'usa will nuke us next' and divert products to other places i think it could be doable. but again i'm just a guy on a computer zero background in this.
Russia has an automated response- a ‘deadman’ switch. If seismographs and other instruments detect a nuclear strike on Russia, Russia automatically launches. Yes, they will target military and political targets- and that includes San Diego, San Francisco, DC, NYC, Seattle, Chicago, Etc, Etc,
The whole world is crazy, is all I know. The roman catholic church genocided the cathars, the armenians were genocided, and probably more, and evil forces control humans and parties and nations
A full scale nuclear exchange, lasting less than 60 minutes...could wipe out more than 300 million Americans, Europeans, and Russians, as well as untold numbers elsewhere. And the survivors-as Chairman Khrushchev warned the Communist Chinese, `the survivors would envy the dead.' For they would inherit a world so devastated by explosions and poison and fire that today we cannot conceive of its horrors.
Thank you for your reassurance, Boris. And those advertisements were always promising me to kill all bacteria, but you’re saying the nukes can’t even do that?
I understand part of what you said however it's missing a major point. The u.s. will most likely trigger this coming war, most likely tactical (20-80 Kilo ton not mega ton weapons. Still nuclear just not world ending. Tactical weapons now are 6-10 times Hiroshima. Still not world ending. Having said that, a tactical use would be countered I think by the ultimate escalation. Scott of course would be a better judge then me guessing.
I'm a Brit (English) so don't have any right to comment, and I'm okay with the notion - and quite expect that - you'll ignore me. I imagine you're right about RFK Jr. - although he seems one of the most desirable to me - the others being Jill Stein (have I got that right?) and the black religious dude with the big hair whose name I've forgotten for the moment (with apologies to him) who all seem like much better choices than the present two. But I noticed Clayton Morris doing a piece whilst driving, and saying that a donor - or more than one donor has threatened to withdraw their donations unless JB steps down within 48 hours. I would guess that Kamala Harris would be better than him at the very least? Given that doesn't happen, then I guess the narcissistic DT is slightly less suicidal (on the world's behalf) than JB - though his support for Israel is disturbing and dangerous enough to have me worried about the planet's future.
One other (possibly rather dippy) thought that I have is to wonder whether it would be possible to promote a nationwide US petition or campaign to replace both of the presidential candidates - and not by anyone who has either been president or a presidential candidate previously. I imagine the oligarchy wouldn't wear that, but I imagine that there might be some attraction to most (? or at least many) of the electorate not to have the oldest, richest, arguably the most corrupt candidates (and some of their advisers - certainly the present ones) competing to control the fire button which might end life on the planet. Doubtless impractical, but out of the box thinking at least.
Btw I'm afraid my country is no example; I fully expect our current Prime Minister to be quite as bloody useless as the last half dozen or more have been ....... If we don't speak again, it was nice sharing a planet whilst it lasted gringo!
Thanks for your reminder, but, please, don't imagine yours is the only country where that happens. In case it's news to you, our Prime Minister is a fully paid up member of Labour friends of Israel and it has been "rumoured" that his campaign to become leader of the party 5 years ago was funded via that group. Lobbies and donors exist all over the place, and we have our fair share - we've got more than enough behind the scenes advisers as well, my friend. The thing about democracies is that they are gamed all the time - but that doesn't necessarily always mean that the electorate can't make its voice heard if it shouts loud enough. - We do have history here too, old bean. Where do you think your lot learnt some of their bad habits?
There is a "Friends of Israel" group here in Norway too. Most members of the parliament are members of it too. Every NATO country has their own version of "Friends of Israel".
I imagine that's true; I find no difficulty in believing that they do. There is a Conservative Party friends of Israel as well in this country, and other parties too also support them and /or Palestine. Sir Keir Starmer (our PM) used to also be a friend of Palestine as well - as were and are some mps (though some are only friends of one or other) - but his dual membership ended in 2019 - the same year he became PM - and his support for Israel's response to 7/10 was unbridled for far longer than just about any other political leader in the country, to the extent that he has come under criticism for the extent of his support, and his sidestepping of direct questions about how much illegal warring he might appear willing to condone. This is rather in line with his predecessor - and, it is alleged, current mentor, Tony Blair's willingness to support dodgy wars on what might be not the safest of pretexts.
Anyway, I'd be interested to know what your country's politics are like nowadays, and which party is in power etc.; I have an impression that some scandanavian countries have experienced a growth in right-wing politics; maybe even some extremism in recent years. I think Col. D. McGregor amongst others (perhaps including J Sachs etc.) has commented on the sagacity of the Nordic countries who have joined Nato, and whether they might have been better off staying out, in various ways. I wouldn't know myself - I merely watch, listen and try to learn what I can.
But, to return to the subject, the point of what I was saying isn't what foreign countries Politicians have ties of friendship with, it's the issue of money changing hands electorally that is now a world-wide issue.
At this time we have a Labour Party government consisting of a PM who started his carreer in the conservative party. Then he changed to Labour because this party won more elections. I.e. a smoother and shorter way to the top.
Our foreign minister got his carreer kicked off in the Rockefeller funded think tank Norwegian Foreign Policy institute (NUPI). Of course, by now everybody on the planet knows the former PM of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg. His mentor, Gro Harlem Bruntland (WHO) is also well known.
Thanks to J.S. (former Labour PM) Norway is all gung ho about Ukraine. Nobody here realizes that NATO is beating a dead horse. It's utterly pathetic. The ever present blue and yellow flags of 2022 have been quietly removed, which is in and of itself an admission that this is a lost cause.
Who will be flying the F-16s they're shipping to Ukraine I don't know. Learning how to use them in combat takes years. Learning how to maintain them ditto.
Norway was a founding member of NATO. Sweden and Finland joining NATO now after Russias not-war in Ukraine is absolute insanity. This means that Russia is literally surrounded in the west, the north and the south. What could possibly go wrong with that?
Thanks for your interesting reply. I'm saddened to hear that political homogenization is going on in your country too - albeit from supposedly right to left, rather than the other way, as in my country; the problem is that we're left (as I imagine your country might be too - though please correct me if I'm wrong) with a Uniparty, which rather undermines democracy, as the " Centrists" then call many of the others "extremists".
It sounds to me like you and I may have been watching many of the same Yt posts, given your points re ukraine and armaments.
Am I right in thinking that, unlike our PM, who is fairly fully supportive of Israel,
although pressure has forced him to back-track a little (though many of us don't much believe that) that your country has not joined in with supporting geoncidal wars?
I'd also be interested to know if you have noticed much growth in genuinely far right movements in your country - or whether that stays pretty much the same?We have Nigel Farage here, who has been elected an mp along with 4 or 5 others of the Reform party and who considers ex - Pres. Trump his friend; of whom, commentators are saying, the attempted assassination will prove more of a shot in the arm to his re-election chances than a shot in the head ( with apologies for the tasteless joke, in case you might think it so).
Check out a candidate no one is talking about, promotes healthy eating, lifestyle improvements and the only one talking about the real issues, grass roots.
His healthy eating campaign appears to concentrate on GM crops. Personally I prefer the Whole Food Plant Based diet espoused by Dr.s McDougall, Esselstyn, Barnard, Greger, Klaper, Popple, Mills and others, as I believe I would not still be alive had I not read their books and watched their yt posts. If you (or anyone else) is interested, a good starting point would be T. Colin Campbell's 'The China Study' which is nutritional science for the lay person - or if that's too long ( it's 350 pages) Dr Esselstyn's firefighter son Rip's book
'The Engine 2 Diet" which sets the basics out simply and then gives recipes.
Btw I would like to point out that I don't have shares in any publishing companies or youtube etc. nor any connection to the Dr.s and relatives mentioned.
I have been listening carefully to you on various podcasts for a couple of years now but this is my first opportunity to read your writing. This is a well-written call to action, an appeal for sanity amidst this perplexing epidemic of mass psychosis that is all too evident in too many places. Truly an unwitting march to folly on the grandest of scales, seemingly orchestrated by inhuman motivations.
I salute your courage and ethics, Major. An inspiration. And congrats on the new book with Anya K .
As usual we are forced to choose the lesser of two evils. Vote for the demented pedophile or the joker who pulled us out of the INF treaty and is proud of his beautiful warp speed bio weapon aka cv vax. Like Mark Twain said, if voting mattered they wouldn't allow it. Most states, mine included use Dominion voting machines. Get the popcorn ready...as for me I'll go with RFK jr
I don’t think so. He supports the existence of the state of Israel. He said though that he supports a negotiated settlement. He really needs to articulate a clear policy though because it’s a bit vague.
Supporting the existence of the state of Israel is the same thing as supporting the genocide. Zionism was based on ethnic cleansing and planned the genocide of Palestinians in the 19th century. Read a little history of Zionism, why don't you.
When the Zionist League of America requested status as a domestic lobbying group JFK pointed at FARA, and said no. This request was granted by his successor on 11/23/1963. RFKjr cannot match his uncle's cojones by a long shot.
Not many know of that! Then there was the matter of the Nukes and James Jesus Angleton? Could RFK Jr be playing a double game? Is time on his side? In 10 years, there will be no more Israel.
NO "we" are not forced to do anything of the kind! What a capitulator you are! If you support RFK you are supporting an Israel lover and backer of the genocide in Gaza. RFK is also an anti-vaxx kook and general nutcase. That means you support genocide, too.
The 'kooks' are the ones that still parrot their belief in a deadly pandemic. Why & how did science magick up various fake cures, given that the putative viral component has never been isolated?
There is only one candidate talking about stopping nuclear war and with enough character to do it. That is RFK Jr, and it is ridiculous that you're telling people he can't win.
If people keep voting out of fear that their vote won't count, as you're insinuating, we will never have change that will keep us out of nuclear war and tied to the military industrial complex. I know you are a brave man. Act like it. Promote a candidate who has actual vision for peace and prosperity in this country. Lead by example. You know it is the only way.
Here it is in spades. It is by now glaringly obvious (unless you've been hiding under a rock since 10/7 of last year) that Israel attacked its own citizens, and subsequently blamed it on Hamas. RFKjr is disingenuously misrepresenting it as a Hamas attack on Israel. How do you know when politicians are lying? There is sound coming out of their mouths. RFKjr is a POS.
FOREIGN POLICY
Kennedy defends Israel's right to respond to Hamas's Oct. 7 attack with its strikes on Gaza and questioned the value of a temporary ceasefire, arguing it will only allow Hamas to rearm itself.
He makes a distinction between moral wars that must be fought and wars of choice, which should be avoided. He says the Vietnam War and World War I were wars of choice for the United States, while Israel had a moral obligation to respond with force to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack.
While I don't agree with everything he's said regarding 10/7 or Israel's despicable genocide following that, I still do not see where RFK Jr has said he's a zionist. And I see him working hardest at a path to peace.
Belligerent foreign special interests having transformed District of Columbia into Vichy Imperial District of Columbia, are accommodated by “both” the Rs and the Ds, with very few exceptions. Therefore to me, a vote for either of them, at that level, is an explicit endorsement of Netanyahu, Zelensky, the Federal Reserve, et al, etc., support of which, in my head, is treasonous.
Meanwhile, in my opinion, we can’t repair the domestic policy until we repair the foreign policy, however, playing this game with IVDC as it’s currently presented is an endorsement of, or capitulation to, its policies and their dire effects.
Beyond my voting by for Kathleen Winn, I am indeed feeling very non-cooperative with the corporate candidates that are offered.
I do confidently support you Mr. Ritter. Your tireless work is vital, and my family is grateful.
Bobby is the dark horse in this presidential race. In fact he’s the only candidate who understands the urgent need for unity in this nation and the world as much as you do. The majority of Americans are sick of war and understand the useless and wasteful spending to maintain our empire. Giving Bobby a shot is giving peace a chance.
this is US sickness, believing voting another one of the ruling class in will change anything - as long as you people not grasp that shit in different colors is still shit and you even like the taste of it, go ahead
Nuclear war is a topic most people want to avoid, but is a literal life or death subject. Annie Jacobsen has written a terrific book entitled "Nuclear War, A Scenario" which has reached the best-seller list. She also recently appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast. I recommend both for those interested in the topic. Here's a link to Rogan's podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqCpT3bLgBM
I'm disappointed in you, Scott, telling people to vote for one of the corrupt, warmongering duopoly. Sorry. No sale. I am a Marxist and supporter of the Socialist Equality Party and they are the ONLY party I have voted for since the last time I voted for a Democrat, which was 1992. Guess who. The only change is going to be revolutionary change and we are on the brink of it right now. As Rosa Luxemburg told us, the choice is between socialism and barbarism. We already have barbarism. I've voting for socialism.
RFK Jr. has no chance.
You know it.
I know it.
America knows it.
It’s a waste of time and effort to pretend otherwise.
I’m trying to stop a nuclear war.
Not promote a fantasy.
It is no more a waste of time and effort to believe in and support a candidate whose policies I agree with than it is to believe that we can somehow convince two warmongers like Trump and Biden that peaceful coexistence with the world is the way to go. In an honest vote count, the candidate with the most votes wins and we are limited to D or R only because we’ve allowed it to be that way. Personally, I’m done with that.

So few people know that. I am happy to know you : )
Amazingly, the "color revolution" is a myth, too... We've been run by outsiders we don't even KNOW ABOUT, since the beginning.
Any real change only comes after a revolution. That's why I support socialism.
Howard Zinn said something similar but I think it would go a long way to elect a leader who has some backbone who does everything they can to be on the right side of history.
Does that make you a communitarian?
Is it too soon to say I love you?
Way too soon! ; )
Sadly, Jill Stein the only option we had for that outcome, did not make the New York ballot. However, voting for Jill even as a write-in sends a message to the Monopoly party.
She's the only one I'd vote for. The lesser of two evils is still evil, and I will not waste my vote on evil.
Yup. But - It would go a long way if we had much better leadership.
I'm wondering why I seem to be one of the few people who thinks CENTRAL govt's need to be disposed of...
"Voting out the status quo"???
ANY vote is whistling in the dark, I'd say. Why? Because I don't trust this insane bunch that's running the country, who are NOT politicians at all! Our politics are coming from people behind the curtain... Look at BIDEN... do we really think he's been captaining the ship?
That said, I do think coming together and working together is KEY.

Dwight must be rolling over in his grave....
Good point!
Thank you for that.
There’s a lot of truth to that but Berta is also correct.
It’s too bad that people can’t somehow mobilize to try to get a really good, non-narcissistic, non-warmonger person to vote for. It’s a shame we let it get to this point.
I had hoped Jill Stein would be at least a stepping stone to show the weakness of the Monopoly party. Jill however, sh it the bed not making the New York ballot. I am still collection sig. for her ballot where I am. This could have been that Lincoln moment in time when a third party was in position to win. Now I think the Green Party is a tool of the Monopoly Party which they control. How could anyone in New York NOT collect 45k signatures? Jose Vega did it with all most no help state wide.
Oligarchy’s suck.
Because the Deep State does not ALLOW those people into power. And POWER is what psychopaths are drawn to.

Scott, nuclear war is not the biggest threat because at least the anti-hegemonic nations and actors are well aware that being Illuminati's goal.
The biggest threat is where Moscow, Beijing and Tehran is not looking but rather sponsoring,

There is a determination by the West to create a world war to hide their catastrophic debt problem. Most of what you read about Rusia is false. Listen to John Mearsheimer if you want the truth. Russia is NOT the aggressor, its the West.
There is the West nuance to that move. Missiles without Nuclear warheads (attached) I think is how it's phrased. Scott probably has already spoken to that.
KUDOS! Very well written! Substack doesn't allow me to like or I would have.
I agree completely. I will not vote for anybody whose values I eschew, and the only person I will vote for for president is Jill Stein. With everything going on, I'm not so sure we don't need a nuclear war to wipe out the evil and let less violent species take over.

Exactly, this is a foreign occupied corporation that has been masquerading as the people republic form of Government from nearly the outset! The bill of rights is the only ratified law for we the people and ever since the removal of our peoples court jurisdictions; we have lived under absolute tyranny (lite)…. They removed our power to prosecute our own lives and transgressions against us at all levels. This ends only one way, when the people say no more of the two card Monty game and manifest the spirit of 1775…. Long live Samuel Whittemore!
"I am all for not blowing up the world, but at the same time the realist position would seem to indicate a deep and irreversible rot in the American experiment that cannot simply be voted away."
I don't remember what the name of the organization is off the top of my head, but James Rogusky has interviewed the founder. They're taking back the political system starting at the county level in many states.
There are lots of vacant seats at the county level, and all one has to do is sign up to get on the ballot and become a shoo-in. If enough people did this the hijacked political system would quickly spin out of the hijackers' control.

Nobody will ever nuke America. It is America that will nuke the ancient beauty of Moscow, St Petersburg, Crimea, along with all human beings there, including my family and all my friends. I am dreading not the nuclear death of the US, but the life after the US kills the world. It will become hell on Earth. It is already nearly impossible to breath free, wherever one is, the dark diabolical shadow of American madness is slowly covering the whole world, like a death cloud.
All of the nuclear missiles will be launched within 10 minutes of the first button pushed, from the land sites and the submarines. All of america will be destroyed within the hour or less. Anyone living will wish they were dead
No, I know my country. Russia will not touch civilians on purpose to exterminate them, no matter what. Only America, NATO and Israel are capable of genocides.
i was thinking that- maybe if the usa nuked russia, instead of responding in kind, russia would play up their victimhood and turn the united states into a global pariah. get china to embargo the usa (thus crippling it), get all the wavering countries to come to the eurasian axis of power because the usa is insane (proven by the nukes) and all the usa would be left with was its closest allies. im not comfortable making any projections for such a scenario because uhhhhh im just a guy just a little guy not an expert just a wee little fool. um. i'd imagine a weakness might be chinese businessmen who want money BUT if they play up the whole 'usa will nuke us next' and divert products to other places i think it could be doable. but again i'm just a guy on a computer zero background in this.
Russia has an automated response- a ‘deadman’ switch. If seismographs and other instruments detect a nuclear strike on Russia, Russia automatically launches. Yes, they will target military and political targets- and that includes San Diego, San Francisco, DC, NYC, Seattle, Chicago, Etc, Etc,
The whole world is crazy, is all I know. The roman catholic church genocided the cathars, the armenians were genocided, and probably more, and evil forces control humans and parties and nations
A full scale nuclear exchange, lasting less than 60 minutes...could wipe out more than 300 million Americans, Europeans, and Russians, as well as untold numbers elsewhere. And the survivors-as Chairman Khrushchev warned the Communist Chinese, `the survivors would envy the dead.' For they would inherit a world so devastated by explosions and poison and fire that today we cannot conceive of its horrors.
John F. Kennedy
Khruschev said that the survivors would envy the dead; I heard the same feeling expressed by a man in Gaza just the other day.
Nuclear Winter will finish human life. Bacteria will, however, survive and life will go on….
Thank you for your reassurance, Boris. And those advertisements were always promising me to kill all bacteria, but you’re saying the nukes can’t even do that?
Considerably more organized multicellular life would survive, not just single celled/bacteria.
Tardigrades FTW!

This time, if nukes are involved, America will not get away!!
I understand part of what you said however it's missing a major point. The u.s. will most likely trigger this coming war, most likely tactical (20-80 Kilo ton not mega ton weapons. Still nuclear just not world ending. Tactical weapons now are 6-10 times Hiroshima. Still not world ending. Having said that, a tactical use would be countered I think by the ultimate escalation. Scott of course would be a better judge then me guessing.
In meantime — nominate Orban for Nobel Peace Prize.
He promotes the “novel” idea — communication and diplomacy….
I'm a Brit (English) so don't have any right to comment, and I'm okay with the notion - and quite expect that - you'll ignore me. I imagine you're right about RFK Jr. - although he seems one of the most desirable to me - the others being Jill Stein (have I got that right?) and the black religious dude with the big hair whose name I've forgotten for the moment (with apologies to him) who all seem like much better choices than the present two. But I noticed Clayton Morris doing a piece whilst driving, and saying that a donor - or more than one donor has threatened to withdraw their donations unless JB steps down within 48 hours. I would guess that Kamala Harris would be better than him at the very least? Given that doesn't happen, then I guess the narcissistic DT is slightly less suicidal (on the world's behalf) than JB - though his support for Israel is disturbing and dangerous enough to have me worried about the planet's future.
One other (possibly rather dippy) thought that I have is to wonder whether it would be possible to promote a nationwide US petition or campaign to replace both of the presidential candidates - and not by anyone who has either been president or a presidential candidate previously. I imagine the oligarchy wouldn't wear that, but I imagine that there might be some attraction to most (? or at least many) of the electorate not to have the oldest, richest, arguably the most corrupt candidates (and some of their advisers - certainly the present ones) competing to control the fire button which might end life on the planet. Doubtless impractical, but out of the box thinking at least.
Btw I'm afraid my country is no example; I fully expect our current Prime Minister to be quite as bloody useless as the last half dozen or more have been ....... If we don't speak again, it was nice sharing a planet whilst it lasted gringo!
Since you're not from here, consider this: The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes.
Felix Frankfurter
Thanks for your reminder, but, please, don't imagine yours is the only country where that happens. In case it's news to you, our Prime Minister is a fully paid up member of Labour friends of Israel and it has been "rumoured" that his campaign to become leader of the party 5 years ago was funded via that group. Lobbies and donors exist all over the place, and we have our fair share - we've got more than enough behind the scenes advisers as well, my friend. The thing about democracies is that they are gamed all the time - but that doesn't necessarily always mean that the electorate can't make its voice heard if it shouts loud enough. - We do have history here too, old bean. Where do you think your lot learnt some of their bad habits?
There is a "Friends of Israel" group here in Norway too. Most members of the parliament are members of it too. Every NATO country has their own version of "Friends of Israel".
I imagine that's true; I find no difficulty in believing that they do. There is a Conservative Party friends of Israel as well in this country, and other parties too also support them and /or Palestine. Sir Keir Starmer (our PM) used to also be a friend of Palestine as well - as were and are some mps (though some are only friends of one or other) - but his dual membership ended in 2019 - the same year he became PM - and his support for Israel's response to 7/10 was unbridled for far longer than just about any other political leader in the country, to the extent that he has come under criticism for the extent of his support, and his sidestepping of direct questions about how much illegal warring he might appear willing to condone. This is rather in line with his predecessor - and, it is alleged, current mentor, Tony Blair's willingness to support dodgy wars on what might be not the safest of pretexts.
Anyway, I'd be interested to know what your country's politics are like nowadays, and which party is in power etc.; I have an impression that some scandanavian countries have experienced a growth in right-wing politics; maybe even some extremism in recent years. I think Col. D. McGregor amongst others (perhaps including J Sachs etc.) has commented on the sagacity of the Nordic countries who have joined Nato, and whether they might have been better off staying out, in various ways. I wouldn't know myself - I merely watch, listen and try to learn what I can.
But, to return to the subject, the point of what I was saying isn't what foreign countries Politicians have ties of friendship with, it's the issue of money changing hands electorally that is now a world-wide issue.
At this time we have a Labour Party government consisting of a PM who started his carreer in the conservative party. Then he changed to Labour because this party won more elections. I.e. a smoother and shorter way to the top.
Our foreign minister got his carreer kicked off in the Rockefeller funded think tank Norwegian Foreign Policy institute (NUPI). Of course, by now everybody on the planet knows the former PM of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg. His mentor, Gro Harlem Bruntland (WHO) is also well known.
Thanks to J.S. (former Labour PM) Norway is all gung ho about Ukraine. Nobody here realizes that NATO is beating a dead horse. It's utterly pathetic. The ever present blue and yellow flags of 2022 have been quietly removed, which is in and of itself an admission that this is a lost cause.
Who will be flying the F-16s they're shipping to Ukraine I don't know. Learning how to use them in combat takes years. Learning how to maintain them ditto.
Norway was a founding member of NATO. Sweden and Finland joining NATO now after Russias not-war in Ukraine is absolute insanity. This means that Russia is literally surrounded in the west, the north and the south. What could possibly go wrong with that?
Thanks for your interesting reply. I'm saddened to hear that political homogenization is going on in your country too - albeit from supposedly right to left, rather than the other way, as in my country; the problem is that we're left (as I imagine your country might be too - though please correct me if I'm wrong) with a Uniparty, which rather undermines democracy, as the " Centrists" then call many of the others "extremists".
It sounds to me like you and I may have been watching many of the same Yt posts, given your points re ukraine and armaments.
Am I right in thinking that, unlike our PM, who is fairly fully supportive of Israel,
although pressure has forced him to back-track a little (though many of us don't much believe that) that your country has not joined in with supporting geoncidal wars?
I'd also be interested to know if you have noticed much growth in genuinely far right movements in your country - or whether that stays pretty much the same?We have Nigel Farage here, who has been elected an mp along with 4 or 5 others of the Reform party and who considers ex - Pres. Trump his friend; of whom, commentators are saying, the attempted assassination will prove more of a shot in the arm to his re-election chances than a shot in the head ( with apologies for the tasteless joke, in case you might think it so).
9.28 as opposed to 9.11
Check out a candidate no one is talking about, promotes healthy eating, lifestyle improvements and the only one talking about the real issues, grass roots.
https://shiva4president.com/
His healthy eating campaign appears to concentrate on GM crops. Personally I prefer the Whole Food Plant Based diet espoused by Dr.s McDougall, Esselstyn, Barnard, Greger, Klaper, Popple, Mills and others, as I believe I would not still be alive had I not read their books and watched their yt posts. If you (or anyone else) is interested, a good starting point would be T. Colin Campbell's 'The China Study' which is nutritional science for the lay person - or if that's too long ( it's 350 pages) Dr Esselstyn's firefighter son Rip's book
'The Engine 2 Diet" which sets the basics out simply and then gives recipes.
Btw I would like to point out that I don't have shares in any publishing companies or youtube etc. nor any connection to the Dr.s and relatives mentioned.
Scott, you are one of the VERY few people I trust in regards to world events.
I disagree with Scott on voting for any capitalists.
If voting actually changed anything it would be outlawed.
Thank you for your optimism and leadership.
At the same time the US is conducting a bipartisan genocide in Gaza and Palestine and supports two Nazi-dominated governments of U and I.
Once again, thank you for your incredible efforts for peace !!
Ukraine?
Ukraine is a dictatorship ruled by Nazi-dominated government installed by US.
What is little known is that Russian language has been forbidden from the start (2014 coup) by — a direct order by US.
Dear Sir
I have been listening carefully to you on various podcasts for a couple of years now but this is my first opportunity to read your writing. This is a well-written call to action, an appeal for sanity amidst this perplexing epidemic of mass psychosis that is all too evident in too many places. Truly an unwitting march to folly on the grandest of scales, seemingly orchestrated by inhuman motivations.
I salute your courage and ethics, Major. An inspiration. And congrats on the new book with Anya K .

As usual we are forced to choose the lesser of two evils. Vote for the demented pedophile or the joker who pulled us out of the INF treaty and is proud of his beautiful warp speed bio weapon aka cv vax. Like Mark Twain said, if voting mattered they wouldn't allow it. Most states, mine included use Dominion voting machines. Get the popcorn ready...as for me I'll go with RFK jr
For what it's worth, I'm for RFK, too. The trouble with free elections is that you never know how they are going to turn out.
Vyacheslav Molotov
But RFK Jr supports Israeli mass murder of Palestinians, the Zionist expansion.
I don’t think so. He supports the existence of the state of Israel. He said though that he supports a negotiated settlement. He really needs to articulate a clear policy though because it’s a bit vague.
Supporting the existence of the state of Israel is the same thing as supporting the genocide. Zionism was based on ethnic cleansing and planned the genocide of Palestinians in the 19th century. Read a little history of Zionism, why don't you.
Thank you, Carolyn! RFKjr equals "YES, WE CAN!" 2.0.
The more realistic choices would be to put ones money on Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy.
A review of JFK's administration and his dealings with Israel might help you understand RFK Jr's position.
When the Zionist League of America requested status as a domestic lobbying group JFK pointed at FARA, and said no. This request was granted by his successor on 11/23/1963. RFKjr cannot match his uncle's cojones by a long shot.
Not many know of that! Then there was the matter of the Nukes and James Jesus Angleton? Could RFK Jr be playing a double game? Is time on his side? In 10 years, there will be no more Israel.
Henry A. Kissinger
NO "we" are not forced to do anything of the kind! What a capitulator you are! If you support RFK you are supporting an Israel lover and backer of the genocide in Gaza. RFK is also an anti-vaxx kook and general nutcase. That means you support genocide, too.
Make sure you get the 9th CV-19 booooster that the CDC is recommending, lol You have a lot to learn about vaccines.

The 'kooks' are the ones that still parrot their belief in a deadly pandemic. Why & how did science magick up various fake cures, given that the putative viral component has never been isolated?

There is only one candidate talking about stopping nuclear war and with enough character to do it. That is RFK Jr, and it is ridiculous that you're telling people he can't win.
If people keep voting out of fear that their vote won't count, as you're insinuating, we will never have change that will keep us out of nuclear war and tied to the military industrial complex. I know you are a brave man. Act like it. Promote a candidate who has actual vision for peace and prosperity in this country. Lead by example. You know it is the only way.
RFKJ? You can't be for Zionism and against nuclear wsr. The two are inseparable.
Respectfully, please show me where RFK Jr himself has said he is for Zionism.
Here it is in spades. It is by now glaringly obvious (unless you've been hiding under a rock since 10/7 of last year) that Israel attacked its own citizens, and subsequently blamed it on Hamas. RFKjr is disingenuously misrepresenting it as a Hamas attack on Israel. How do you know when politicians are lying? There is sound coming out of their mouths. RFKjr is a POS.
FOREIGN POLICY
Kennedy defends Israel's right to respond to Hamas's Oct. 7 attack with its strikes on Gaza and questioned the value of a temporary ceasefire, arguing it will only allow Hamas to rearm itself.
He makes a distinction between moral wars that must be fought and wars of choice, which should be avoided. He says the Vietnam War and World War I were wars of choice for the United States, while Israel had a moral obligation to respond with force to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/rfk-jr-abortion-vaccines-housing-foreign-policy-2024-03-20/
While I don't agree with everything he's said regarding 10/7 or Israel's despicable genocide following that, I still do not see where RFK Jr has said he's a zionist. And I see him working hardest at a path to peace.
Jill Stein is unequivocal supporter of peace and critical of US genocide in Gaza (Israeli Nazis are “just” the executioners)
I voted for Jill Stein in 2016, and look what happened.
Ridiculous? See Allen Schitman.
Nope!

Belligerent foreign special interests having transformed District of Columbia into Vichy Imperial District of Columbia, are accommodated by “both” the Rs and the Ds, with very few exceptions. Therefore to me, a vote for either of them, at that level, is an explicit endorsement of Netanyahu, Zelensky, the Federal Reserve, et al, etc., support of which, in my head, is treasonous.
Meanwhile, in my opinion, we can’t repair the domestic policy until we repair the foreign policy, however, playing this game with IVDC as it’s currently presented is an endorsement of, or capitulation to, its policies and their dire effects.
Beyond my voting by for Kathleen Winn, I am indeed feeling very non-cooperative with the corporate candidates that are offered.
I do confidently support you Mr. Ritter. Your tireless work is vital, and my family is grateful.
Bobby is the dark horse in this presidential race. In fact he’s the only candidate who understands the urgent need for unity in this nation and the world as much as you do. The majority of Americans are sick of war and understand the useless and wasteful spending to maintain our empire. Giving Bobby a shot is giving peace a chance.
I despise RFK Jr. He is a POS as far as I am concerned.
this is US sickness, believing voting another one of the ruling class in will change anything - as long as you people not grasp that shit in different colors is still shit and you even like the taste of it, go ahead
Nuclear war is a topic most people want to avoid, but is a literal life or death subject. Annie Jacobsen has written a terrific book entitled "Nuclear War, A Scenario" which has reached the best-seller list. She also recently appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast. I recommend both for those interested in the topic. Here's a link to Rogan's podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqCpT3bLgBM
Fuck all this bullshit!!!
Jill Stein is the on worthwhile candidate with a mathematical ability to win the presidency.
Biden and Trump are shit, period.
A revolution is in order, but it’ll never happen.
‘Muricans ain’t suffered enough, yet.
Meanwhile, the massacre is Palestine continues.
And, the slaughter/decimation in Ukraine/Russia.
I am convinced that Jill Stein is the only possibility to possibly avert nuclear catastrophe.
Whatada you say Scott???
You're right about Stein but 9.28 is cutting it close.
I'm disappointed in you, Scott, telling people to vote for one of the corrupt, warmongering duopoly. Sorry. No sale. I am a Marxist and supporter of the Socialist Equality Party and they are the ONLY party I have voted for since the last time I voted for a Democrat, which was 1992. Guess who. The only change is going to be revolutionary change and we are on the brink of it right now. As Rosa Luxemburg told us, the choice is between socialism and barbarism. We already have barbarism. I've voting for socialism.
Thank you.
