The Sanctions Bite the West, Not Russia
We can see how much worse the sanctions are punishing US and Europe than they are punishing Russia by examining this article:
The Covid lockdowns re-awoke inflation, something the Federal Reserve had been unable to do for more than a decade of massive money creation. The lockdowns drove prices up by curtailing production.
The sanctions have added to these supply disruptions. One question is: how much of the higher oil and gasoline prices is due to reduced supply, and how much to the scare factor and big oil jumping at the chance to raise prices behind the cover of sanctions and “disrupted markets.”
Biden’s announcement of a ban on US imports of Russian oil and gas is being ignored by Germany and other US puppet governments. In Germany, such a ban would mean the shutdown of German industry. As the Russians have refused to avail themselves of the power to shut off the gas, the sharp rise in natural gas prices in Europe is not supply-related. Russia could cause the complete capitulation of Europe if she turned off the gas, but Russia hasn’t yet figured that out. Indeed, if the Kremlin could think outside the box, or wasn’t married to globalism, or wasn’t brainwashed by its neoliberal economists that Russia needs foreign exchange, the Kremlin could have achieved its Ukraine goal without invading simply by cutting off all energy to Europe.
As the US imports no gas from Russia and Russian oil imports are only 7% of US oil, Biden’s Ban hasn’t much to do with the high prices. Moreover, Biden has announced that he is opening the US strategic oil reserve to make up for the banned imports, and the US is talking to its designated enemy, Venezuela, about that country filling in for the missing Russian oil.
The reason is that Venezuela’s oil, like Russia’s, is heavy oil. Therefore, Biden’s Ban is not just falling on energy prices paid by the US consumer. It is also falling on the American refineries that process heavy oil. Without the Russian oil, the refineries face the lost revenues from being closed.
Higher oil prices don’t just drive up gasoline and heating oil prices. They drive up transportation costs — airlines, trucking, shipping. Transportation costs feed into all costs. Plastics are also affected. In other words, the price of oil affects just about everything, including vacation resorts and restaurants.
World markets, fearful of what the dumbshits in Washington might do next, are driving up mineral prices. Nickel prices are going through the roof as Russia is a major global supplier.
Biden, the titular head of an empire that has terrorized the populations of 6 countries in the 21st century, slaughtering, dispossessing, and dislocating millions of people, calls Putin a “tyrant” for protecting Russian lives in Ukraine and Russian national security. The WH Idiot joins the idiot Democrat senator Chris Coons from Delaware in claiming, falsely, that the sanctions under which Americans will suffer are “the cost of standing up for freedom” and to stop “tyrants like Putin” from being able “to use fossil fuels as weapons against other nations.” Think about this for a moment. It is the US with sanctions that is using fossil fuels as weapons against other nations, including its own, not Putin who continues the gas and oil flows to Europe. The WH idiot is so totally stupid that he doesn’t even realize that it is he who is the cause of the trouble, not Putin.
Here is Russian deputy prime minister Alexander Novak explaining that Russia is a faithful business partner that fulfills its contracts and does not use energy as a weapon:
http://thesaker.is/crucial-deputy-prime-minister-novak-on-russian-energy-options-must-see/
And here is the dumbshit American public, who according to a recent poll, can’t wait to pay higher energy prices in order to punish Russia. Dear dumbshit American, higher energy prices punish you. They benefit Russia! How can people this stupid survive?
Why are Dems not Afraid ?
Biden and his regime are homicidal. The people who support Biden and his regime are suicidal.
Pursuing policies of $5-$6 a gallon gas, high inflation and military weakness should be political suicide. But what’s interesting is that NONE of the Democrats, aside from Joe Manchin, appear even a little bit concerned.
What do they know that the rest of us don’t know?
Or, more precisely: What are they focusing on that the rest of us — still thinking like it’s 1980, 1994 or even 2000 — won’t accept: that our election system is rigged beyond repair?
When tyrants are not worried, it’s a cause for concern. You can speculate however you wish. But don’t call it a “conspiracy.” FACTS are not conspiracies. The Biden regime and the whole Democratic Party are Jimmy Carter on speed. Yet none of them seem concerned.
Will we really have a “red wave” in Congress this fall? Does it really matter that even pro-Democrat polls show Donald Trump beating any Democrat in a 2024 election?
What are we not focusing on here?

Is Ukraine the new COVID ?
See this picture of bombed out Ukraine? THIS is what control for the sake of control looks like. What Putin’s bombs did to these buildings, COVID fascism did to our economy and liberty. In principle, it’s the same. Statism and the people who support statism are destroyers — of buildings, and of spirits as well. I personally blame not just the tyrants like Putin, Biden and company, but also those who support those tyrants and (in Biden’s case) actually voted for him. If you don’t now admit you were wrong to vote for him, or any Democrat, then YOU are the ones responsible for everythiCng that’s happening, and everything yet to come.

Tom Bell : “Ukraine is becoming the new Covid: The trendy issue that people use to virtue signal with, even though they haven’t made the effort to understand all its nuances.”
Yes. But war with Russia accomplishes two things important to the leftist statists who still dominate us. One, it raises the price of gas. Environmentalists want gas high so people will stop using it and use battery or solar power instead. Two, war with Russia will provide an excuse to impose more controls on the population. Starting with the military draft, and moving on to rationing, and the like. Leftists LOVE controls and sacrifice. Not their own sacrifice, of course. Wealthy, elite and connected leftists will not be doing the sacrificing — the rest of us will. They will PRETEND to sacrifice, as they did with masks.
All in all, war with Russia looks like a great deal for the leftists and the hopelessly moronic idiots who applaud them.

Zuckerberg is mad at Putin for blocking him. The fascist has angered the fascist. Let them destroy each other.

1. Our elections are sacred and the cornerstone of our republic. If they are stolen our republic is nothing. It’s over.
Biden’s first major act against America was to steal the 2020 Election. You may not agree with this but the majority of Americans do.
There is ample evidence for this. Just last week a former Supreme Court Justice in Wisconsin called for serious consideration be given to decertify the 2020 election after months of investigation. Every day we uncover more and more evidence that the 2020 election was stolen. This was the Biden gang’s first big anti-American act.

2. The Biden gang imprisoned and targeted their political opponents without trial or human rights. This is third-world stuff.
Hundreds of Americans are in the DC Gulag (see inventory here) unjustly held with unjust indictments, some were beaten in jail and denied basic human rights, some without court dates for crimes they never committed, based on what many now believe was another government set-up. This abuse led one man to his suicide just last week. Four Trump supporters were killed, two of them women, on January 6 in the nation’s capital.
3. The Biden gang next supported a tribunal to attack, harass and punish anyone close to their political opponent, President Trump.
As soon as the election was stolen and Biden was installed, his enemies put together an entirely unconstitutional impeachment and then a special committee to punish, harass and punish anyone close to President Trump. These people don’t care about what the people think because they believe they can steal all future elections which will keep them in power.
The impeachment of Trump was after he was in office. This was not only based on lies, but it was not within our laws. Next, the same Trump haters put together a Jan 6 Committee with the sole purpose of harassing Trump supporters and those who worked for the President. The people on the gang all hate President Trump because he loved America.

These third-world animals are after blood. They are not independent or objective. They aren’t after the truth. They only search for lies to punish Trump and others who love this country.
4. The Biden gang shut the oil and gas pipelines, restricted drilling, targeted the entire energy sector in the US causing massive price hikes. Today, thanks to Democrats and their insane policies, America is once again dependent on other countries for our energy.
Biden’s first acts were to shut down the Keystone Pipeline. For the first time in nearly a century, America was energy independent before Biden took over. As a result, Biden doubled the price of gas on the average American consumer, aided foreign entities like Russia and the Saudis, and left the US dependent on others for our energy. This was after President Trump left the country energy independent based on his safe and smart energy policies with cheap gas for the Average American consumer.

5. Biden handed over $84 billion in equipment and arms to the Taliban who then took 13 soldiers’ lives.
Who could forget the insane acts of the Biden gang in departing Afghanistan? He hands over billions to a terrorist regime, some of the most sophisticated military equipment on earth. He then had the Taliban cover for our troops in Kabal which led to 13 soldiers’ needless deaths. He abandoned those who helped us in that country, some who fell from the sky trying to escape the Taliban. This surrender was needless and significantly damaged the US with our allies. It showed that you could no longer trust or count on Biden’s America to protect them.
6. The regime opened the Southern US border, ignoring the Constitution.

The first thing Biden-Obama did after stepping into office was to open the southern border wide open. To do this his team ignored all the laws in place that protected America from unwanted intruders. This was no problem, all Biden had to do was hire a person who lied about everything and claimed what was so was not. They found this guy in Department of Homeland Security Head Alejandro Mayorkas.
7. The Biden regime next implemented policies to spend the US into bankruptcy.
For the first time in US history, the national debt surpassed $30 trillion. This proves the current administration cares little about America’s future. When will this ever be paid back?

9. The Biden regime backed policies that forced young children and all Americans to wear masks. Democrats still force children to wear masks.
The masks it turns out were more about compliance than health. Children have literally zero risk of dying from COVID yet were forced to wear masks in schools. This abuse was backed by Biden goons. It showed allegiance and compliance with the regime.

10. The Biden regime promotes racism in our children’s classrooms and in our culture at every turn.

This is Biden’s America. These actions don’t benefit America, they steal Americans’ money, freedoms, and future.
They want America to fail.
