51. Nasruddin’s Wife and the Stew
“Here are four kilos of meat,” Nasruddin told his wife. “Please make a nice stew! I’m going out now to invite all my friends.”
Nasruddin’s wife made the stew but it smelled so good that she invited her friends over, and they ate all the stew.
When Nasruddin got home, his wife shouted, “That cat gobbled the meat before I could cook it!”
Nasruddin looked at her suspiciously. He grabbed the cat and put it on the scales.
“Four kilos!” he said. “So, if this is the cat, where’s the meat? And if this is the meat, where’s the cat?”

The first point you mentioned was that the alliance is using it more against Russia, but what are they going to do about it? That’s really the question.
Well, NATO, or at least the United States, is desperate. They’re doubling down and launching their F-16s with missiles against Russia. And Biden’s speech at NATO, I think, it turns out that there’s more meaning in that than we first realized.
He kept saying that Russia is going to attack Poland, and it’s going to go on from Poland further just into Central Europe. Well, he made the same point when he was debating with Donald Trump. And at the time, this seemed crazy. This seemed to be the old domino theory of the Vietnam War. If you don’t stop now, you’re going to have to stop them in Brooklyn, and they’re just going to march right over the country. — NATO Focus From Defensive To Offensive by Michael Hudson
The US authorities have seized Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s airplane in the Dominican Republic, CNN reported on Monday, citing US officials. US authorities claim that the plane was purchased in violation of US sanctions.
According to a US official, as cited by CNN, the United States is “sending a clear message” that nobody is “above the reach of US sanctions.”
The United States is certainly sending a clear message but it is not the one that is being received. There will be blow back by most of the world from what they understand to be theft.
If she [Kamala] continues to perform badly, the blob might not hesitate to try getting rid of her. That may be the blob’s last chance of stopping the election from happening altogether. The nation has never been in the predicament of having the head of a ticket resign or die in the homestretch of an election campaign. There is no provision in the Constitution for it because there are no provisions in the Constitution for political parties per se. It would all be a kind of improv.
And then, of course, America would be stuck with the unfit and incapable “Joe Biden,” heading the government, at least until something else can be worked out. Maybe that working out would just be the final stage of the coup that has been in motion, really, since 2016 when John Brennan, Barack Obama, and James Comey attempted to oust Mr. Trump with RussiaGate. Some kind of “interim commission” might be formed to “solve” the problem of the cancelled election. They’ll look for someone with “proven ability” to serve as provisional president — maybe, someone who has already been president. . . say, Mr. Obama. Voila and fait accompli! If he finds himself appointed rather than elected, he would not be in defiance of the 22ndAmendment. Okay, now try re-thinking how scared Kamala Harris must be. — Is Kamala Very Very Afraid
I think the October Surprise in 2024 will be the executive order that suspends the presidential election. It will be necessary to “save our democracy”.
Apparently you can’t use “beef stew” as a password — it’s not stroganoff.
