It is Time for the Empire to Die

It’s time for the empire to die, and Biden might be the man who kills her. Maybe he is good for something after all.

We love to sneer at Russia for having “an economy the size of Texas.” Someone tell me how a country can have 140 million people, be the world’s largest wheat, fertilizer, and weapons exporter, supply rockets for every other existing space program as well as their own, and still be “smaller” than one American state? Good, I’m glad the world economy is based on facts and isn’t just pseudoscience we made up. What if… maybe… the value of the dollar, the world’s reserve currency, is set artificially high, and our competitors’ currencies are forced artificially low, then we skew the numbers even more by printing as many dollars as we want with absolutely nothing backing it up? Nah, couldn’t be! Did you know that as of 2020, American banks are not even required to have the money they loan to people? So the dollar is largely based on debt, and much of that debt is based on money that literally did not exist to begin with, but surely this is a fair and accurate system for gauging the “size” of the world’s economies, right?

Smaller than Texas or not, Russians have free healthcare and university education. I’m glad Congress found $778 billion for the military industrial complex while 40% of Americans have less than $400 in savings (and that’s from a survey taken from before the pandemic). Not to even mention the millions of our households still hopelessly behind on rent. Speaking of rent, Russia has 90% home ownership.

Back to that $778 billion. Where is all of that money going anyway? Europe’s impregnable air defense grid? That’s what we’ve been told for so long. Then this month an ancient Soviet drone from the 1970s wandered through three NATO countries before crashing into a Croatian city. Apparently Ukrainians programmed wrong coordinates into the thing so it flew the opposite direction it was supposed to. But wait! The corporate media insists “well ackshullllly, it was a Russian drone.” Well, okay, so it was an enemy drone, you do realize this makes the story even more embarrassing, not less? You do understand that… right? If a Russian automaton from 1974 can effortlessly penetrate the “free world’s” entire defense grid without anyone even realizing it’s there, imagine what one of their new ones can do.

It’s almost as if we shouldn’t have declared war on the Ruskis immediately after deliberately destroying our own economy for two years. Besides making record profits for the big box stores by grinding family businesses into dust, what was the point of all that? I still see swathes of empty, shuttered stores in our shopping malls. What is going to bring businesses back into those empty slots? Does Biden have a plan for that? If so, I’d love to hear it.

If the idea was to use a fake crisis to sabotage our “near-peer” opponents, well I have bad news. It was a total failure. You know what the Russian COVID restrictions were? Wear your mask for five seconds as you’re walking through the metro turnstile. Unless you forgot it. The police could technically ticket you, but they didn’t seem to do that very much. A couple of months ago I was in the busiest metro stations in Moscow, and never saw more than 20-30% of passengers wearing their masks.

Don’t worry we have an explanation for that. Well ackshulllly the Russian government wanted harsher COVID restrictions but couldn’t because they’re weak. Russia is a brutal dictatorship and simultaneously too weak to enforce basic rules. I see, that makes sense. I love how we attribute everything to Russia being weak, and not the more obvious explanation that they’re more democratic and free than us.

Our media is filled with silly lies, like Russians not having access to information from outside their country. Because that’s believable in the internet age. Or that the Russian military does evil things for no reason, like blowing up hospitals and theaters full of children (though these atrocities miraculously never leave any evidence behind, like bodies). Then why are civilian casualties from more than three weeks of heavy fighting so low? By all accounts, much lower than Russian military casualties? Isn’t that pretty compelling evidence that they’re tiptoeing through Ukraine being extraordinarily careful to not cause civilian casualties?

Well, ackshullllly that’s only because they’re too weak to use the means necessary to win! Oh, I see. That famous Russian weakness again. First off, it’s interesting that we see goodness as weakness and are proud of it. And yes, that is a true statement. Our first month in Iraq inflicted 4-7 thousand civilian deaths and that’s probably undercounted. It’s also interesting that we tell lies that obviously contradict each other and see no problem with this.

Try to have a memory span longer than a goldfish. Remember Day 3 of the operation when a bunch of Russian armored vehicles parked near Kiev and American “experts” declared they were out of fuel? Because as we all know, Russia is famous for not having enough oil. I’m sure their tanks running out of fuel within 75 miles of their own border is a plausible thing that could happen and not total nonsense.

Then one day, a miracle happened. The tanks just drove away. It was surreal how American news outlets reported that and without even a hint of irony. Just drove away! I thought they were out of fuel, what happened to that? There were no corrections or clarifications, nothing. The MIC shills just droned on with the next set of silly stories without even acknowledging how hilariously wrong their previous ones were. So next time you see a car parked on the side of the road, know that it’s out of gas. There is no other possible explanation for a car to not be moving at the exact moment you were looking at it.

As of this moment, there are more than 2.5 million people who desperately want to escape Ukrainian cities and reach safety in Russia. But they cannot, because nazis are blocking off the cities and shooting anyone who tries to reach the humanitarian corridors. They’re randomly searching people and checking people’s phones, with an implicit threat of violence if they find any evidence of disloyalty or plans to escape (and yes I have personally confirmed that one). Nazis know that they wouldn’t last ten seconds in an equal fight with the Russian army, so hide behind women and children, filling their military structures with civilians and putting gun emplacements in schools. They are scum and are going to get what’s coming to them, if they haven’t already.

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for the globalist regime. The USA is almost $30 trillion in debt, and almost none of that money has actually gone to the needs of the American people. We have rotten teeth, overwhelmed, unsafe cities full of crumbling homes with rents we can’t afford, a terrible education system and the worst healthcare in the developed world (yes, including Russia). Instead, that money is going to enforce a cruel, bloated empire built on the bones of tens of millions of people.

Our elites know that the national debt is unpayable, and will utterly destroy the country one day. So they prolong the inevitable as long as they can, and are willing to commit any act of cruelty to that end. Maybe there was a point they believed this game could be played forever. When the Soviet Union fell, there was no longer any checks and balances to their cruelty. Our elites could do whatever they wanted, and that’s exactly what they did. They bombed and destroyed entire countries with total impunity without any fear of consequences. But now that’s just not true anymore, is it?

If the media is willing to lie about literally everything that’s happened in this war, then what else are they lying about? Do you really, at this point, believe anything they’ve told us about anything ever? How do we actually know that North Korea is a brutal evil dictatorship? Because CNN said so? How about Iran? How about the Soviet Union and those 30 gorillion raped German women? Do you really think those things are true, and not just even more lies?

My friend has a telegram channel, and I post there often as well. Give her a subscribe! If you don’t have a Telegram account already, this is a good time to get one. For now the empire hasn’t eliminated free speech there like they did to Facebook, Twitter, and Google platforms. Condor the Bird on Telegram.
