The Curse It Is Cast

“. . . history and even corruption itself have a way of normalizing the unbearable.” —Naomi Wolf 

via the Clusterfuck Nation 

"So, the Party of Victims has “won” the midterm election super-bigly. They crushed it. They are supreme. Everybody and his uncle voted for them overwhelmingly, in record numbers so stupefying they seem. . . a little supernatural. Yes, like they got an assist from somewhere, from someone — and probably not from the better angels of our nature, if you know what I mean. Somehow an extra 20-million ballots were cast this midterm over the previous midterm in 2022. But they were strangely distributed.

The Party of Victims has flat-out said it wants to see the president drawn, quartered, beheaded, pissed-on, and stuffed into an unmarked hole in the ground. Plus, anyone who ever worked for him or voted for him to be hurled into prison. There’s your casus belli. The curse it is cast.

The Party of Victims has also announced its intentions to shred the Constitution via legal legerdemain for the purpose of making the USA a one-party state and, as such, subservient to governing entities outside the USA. Those entities reside mainly in and around the European Union, including the EU itself, the financial elites that it serves, and an international NGO galaxy of aggrieved “activists.”

Discount any prattle coming out of the Party of Victims and their ancillaries in the news media about “our democracy.” The phrase is a ruse, aimed at malware they have already installed in your brain, straight out of Rachel Maddow’s pretty mouth. “Our democracy” is a phantom concept to disguise a political apparatus that only works for the Party of Victims. Also note: the Party of Victims wants to make victims of everybody outside their party. “Our democracy” actually means: we get to push you around and do our bidding. . . or else go off and die...."

I'll Attempt to Explain......

I have recently received email from different regular readers of this blog about the apparent turn to a more serious tone instead of the light hearted satire and snark it's known for. For this I apologize, and I will attempt in as short a way as possible to explain.

Every year I write a letter to my mother, a letter that will not be sent. She did not live long enough to see me grow to be a woman.  The letter is cathartic for me, gives me time to reflect and ask myself "would she be proud of who I've become?" 

For those who do not know, I am a product of a wonderful Scottish musician father many of you over 40 might recognize the name, and birthed by an American mother.  My father's work kept them in Europe most of the time and they chose to settled in a small quiet Belgian town for privacy. I was born in Brussels. 

My earliest memories of childhood are of walking with my mother in the gently rolling hills above a WW1 Military Cemetery near where we lived. These grassy hills and shade trees became our favorite picnic spot, and where she taught me the things a mother teaches her daughter; why the sky is blue, how to braid your hair, and in my case, why those white crosses in the distance were in perfect rows. 

She never let me forget the fact she was American, and so was I to be. She taught me the Pledge of Allegiance. She taught me and my friends the game of soft baseball.  We had hamburgers and strawberry shortcake on 4th of July. 

In the summer she would take my sister and I to the open air markets to buy fresh fruit and flowers she loved to filled the house with. I also remember many times dark haired, dark eyed men in the market, men who dressed and spoke differently than my father, watching me and sometime felt them touching my hair.  One day, as a young teenager shopping with my mother, two of these dark haired men touched my sister inappropriately. My mother turned and slapped one of the men in the face. I heard yelling and  words I did not understand, and my mother get pushed to the ground. It was while recuperating from that incident that doctors found the cancer that would eventually take her from us a little over a year later. 

What I saw in those men’s faces that hurt my mother was evil rage that I had never seen and did not understand. 

They were muslims. Immigrants from a nearby enclave. 

The election here and events in Europe these past months have brought feelings to the surface I thought had passed and did not expect to return. I'm not proud of those feelings.  The last letter to my mother has made my mood somber, yet angry.  I have tried to write of lighter things here but find it difficult. That will pass. I have been somewhat  consumed at times by the memory of what was done to my mother, and the growing concern for my childhood friends and their now young children I left behind.

I have seen many angry men. None like I saw that day. I was raised by my parents to be compassionate, and later by my aunt to be the proper Southern Belle I believe I've become. But when I see scenes of muslims men in the news, I recognize the same soulless evil I saw that day in the market.

I have a deep affinity for the European people that most Americans will not understand. I lived among them and was one of them as a child. I don’t expect anyone to understand. What we see happening in Europe now is no one's fault but their own. It's self inflicted. It is now up to us to make sure we don't place ourselves in evil’s way as they have. 

It hurts me deeply to see it happening, and to put it into words to my mother……

That Brief and Magical Noise

Each one comes in a cover of its own. A package that has an attractive photo or art on one side and well-written, knowledgeable commentary on the other. We will read the back of the it. (I think that was required by a law somewhere.) But we want to read the commentary because it’s so well done. No matter how many previous ones we have of the same source, we always learn a bit more. Some are so beautiful that people buy special frames so they can be conveniently- and conspicuously – displayed on the wall. 

You slowly remove it from its protective cover in order to avoid producing any scratches, and after you have carefully placed it on the machine and pushed the button causing it to move, there is that delicate moment when you slowly place the sensitive cantilever on the outer edge. A brief and magical noise comes from the contact. Seconds later, wonderful things begin.

For many of us, that was our Japanese Tea Ceremony. The ritual was basic, but magnificent. There was a moment of revelation, a soaking-in of whatever the machine brought. Usually that gift was extraordinary. I will always remember as a young girl, my father, perturbed at my outburst of energy while mother was at market, sat me down, put his finger to his lips and said listen. Just Listen. He pull out a package and silently manipulated the machine. And then came that brief and magical noise. And, for the first time in my life, I heard side one of 'Dark Side of the Moon'. The Music. The Art Work. The sound of the AR3's. That memory remains vivid.

The music was, of course, the key part of the process, but there was a meaningful process. Compared to that, streaming music is practically an accident and playing a compact disk is a mechanical moment. Although the music itself can still be great, the experience has been diminished by omission of the ritual.  Gone are the album notes along with the album. The new experience is solely transactional, without an anticipatory moment or a nod to the artist. All of the preliminaries are brief and rushed.

My argument is that the preparation once was a key part of the enjoyment. And we have, without the slightest acknowledgement, omitted the awe, the respect, and the prolonged anticipation of the artist’s gift. No matter how fine the performance, streaming music or playing a CD is the musical version of instant coffee. With a record turntable, we are grinding the beans, getting a whiff of the aroma, and then placing the essentials in a special device so the flavorful experience gradually emerges.

Our society could use a return to the genuine combined with a serious search for beauty. The process may be somewhat inconvenient, but high quality usually is.

Serpent Head Takes the Progtards to the Woodshed

Careful Where You Step. The Midget is Loose

The last time we visited one of our favorite kickball of the past, the former Clinton toadie Robert Reich, he was on the CNN spouting crazy, claiming the anti-Trump protest were actually a right-wing plot to delegitimize liberals. Needless to say, we had a real field day with that one. So much so, one loyal DMF reader humorously accused me of abusing short people. But undeterred, today we again visited Dr. Reich sitting high up in his Booster Seat at U.C. Berkeley where he snags a cool 240K a year to teach one class about the scourge of income inequality. The little commie is NOT Happy.

NEW: Robert Reich calls for the "defunding" of Elon Musk, calls for Democrats to go after Musk's companies. "Democrats ought to [start] laying the groundwork for nationalizing Starlink & SpaceX... It should be a public corporation." Does he want Musk to drop another $50M on the midterms?

For those too young to remember this asshole from the 1990'was one of the leading preachers calling for the offshoring of American jobs. He led the call for China to join the WTO without any human rights restrictions. He cost millions of good paying manufacturing jobs to vanish from America.

For Your Consideration...

 By James Howard Kunstler/ClusterFuck Nation

"By now, everybody and his uncle interested in public matters has probably read that a claque of current-and-former agency officials, ex-USAID busybodies, military officers, activist academics, Democratic Party paladins, and freelance communist jihadis has been exposed plotting the overthrow of the US government. The plot was reported by the diligent “X” blogger Jennica Pounds under her nom-de-plume “Data Republican,” who lately received an enormous document-and-recording dump courtesy of careless color revolutionaries who recorded themselves and saved doc files against orders, the dumb bunnies.

Ms. Pounds, an experienced software engineer turned political detective, came to public attention early in 2025 when she assisted Elon Musk’s DOGE operation in building a database of NGO money trails emanating from the colossal USAID grant matrix — after which her identity was “doxed” by Rolling Stone and she underwent a harassment campaign.

Of course, USAID was abolished early in the Trump 2.0 admin, and a lot of the “activists” defenestrated from it moved into scores of NGOs, with their salaries switched from taxpayer funding to the bank accounts of George Soros-connected orgs and sundry other shady characters like Shanghai-based Neville Roy Singham.  These are the NGOs forever puling about “our democracy,” meaning their drive to punish, persecute, and push around Americans who demur from a communist future. Data Republican says her reporting so far is “only the beginning” of much more detailed and alarming disclosures.

Coincidentally this week, their cover was also blown by Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI and former CIA analyst), who told an audience at the U. of Chicago that the Democrats intend to go after and wreck any young person who might think about working in the current administration.

Before we get into the meat of their playbook for us, and what might happen in response, let’s just dox a few of the characters involved. They are not necessarily the usual suspects you’ve read about before like the omnipresent lawfare ninjas, Norm Eisen, Marc Elias, Mary McCord, et al., so busy filing frivolous lawsuits in the federal courts."

Erica Chenoweth of Harvard (They / Them?)
Master Color Revolutionary

"For instance (as reported by one Eric Schwalm on “X”), there’s Erica Chenoweth, the transvestite professor at Harvard’s Kennedy School of government who acts as chief strategist and hub for the “color revolution” planned by the United Democracy Alliance cabal she is associated with. Ms. (or Mr.?) Chenoweth’s big contribution to Jacobin thought is “the 3.5 rule” which says that if you can get that percentage of people out on the streets making a ruckus, you can successfully overthrow a government....."

Hey Y'all! Here's Your Official Midweek Almost Semi-World Famous Irredeemable Big Ass Open Thread!

Holy Sh*t! It just midweek and already we have Rocket Boy missing,  a congresscritter on the lam, the admission of Fake Polls, the Deep State attempting to meddling in elections, and democrats threatening to go after the richest man in the world. And it just Thursday!

Your Beloved Blog Editrix, Who Loves Each and Everyone of You would love to hear your voices on the state of chaos we find ourselves in. Social media has all but exploded into a sewer of DNC paid bots and fake post and become practically unreadable. 

So dawn your Blogging Thongs and have at it. And use the coasters!

 

Send In The Saints!

With Paris on fire, rampant looting and general leftist douchbaggery going on - would you be surprised if the State Department issued a travel advisory telling Americans not to travel to France? In a way it would also be amusing to see France try to invoke NATO Article 5: "Help us from our immigration problem and send us your NFL teams."

A striking contrast on the streets of Paris: A couple sits sipping drinks at an outdoor café as flames burn just steps away. The moment was captured Saturday near the Arc de Triomphe, on the outskirts of rioting that erupted during demonstrations over rising prices, inequality and public spending. Video shows the pair continuing their conversation as a burning trash bin lights up the background.

Reheated: Trojan Horse Jihadist Political Party at the Gate

With this years midterms soaking up much of the news cycle and certain controversial politicians receiving more than a usual share of coverage by the media, familiar words from the past again are gaining to the forefront. 'The Muslim Brotherhood.' Words soon forgotten when in early 2015 a wealthy golfer & New Yorker Real-Estate dude became the media's dark soul fulling obsession, and the Brotherhood quietly withdrew into the background, working virtual unnoticed. 

I dove into the dank archives of DMF and re-read the posts we did from a decade past and pulled some text that might help explain why some are expecting ties to the Brotherhood to be a problem for some. Like Abdul el-Shthed.

Here, reheated from April of 2014:

Muslim Brotherhood Launches Own U.S. Political Party

After making major inroads inside the European Parliaments, Islam now turns their sights towards America, ripe with multicultural, leftist useful idiot defenders of the religion of peace.  

IBD

"With an eye toward the 2016 election, the radical Muslim Brotherhood has built the framework for a political party in America that seeks to turn Muslims into an Islamist voting bloc.

'Muslim voters have the potential to be swing voters in 2016," said Nihad Awad in launching the benign-sounding U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, whose membership reads like a Who's Who of Brotherhood front groups. "We are aiming to bring more participation from the Muslim community."

"USCMO also aims to elect Islamists in Washington, with the ultimate objective of "institutionalizing policies" favorable to Islamists — that is, Shariah law.

This development bears careful monitoring in light of the U.S. Brotherhood's recently exposed goal to wage a "civilization jihad" against America that explicitly calls for infiltrating the U.S. political system and "destroying (it) from within."

The subversive plan was spelled out in hundreds of pages of founding archives that the FBI confiscated from a Brotherhood leader's home in the Washington suburbs after 9/11. Translated from Arabic, the secret documents listed a number of Brotherhood front organizations — some of which just happen to make up the newly formed USCMO."

And Reheated from an earlier post- March 2013 just after Barky O's reelection.....

Obama Administration Gets Cozy with Muslim Brotherhood Front Group

"The Obama administration’s close relationship with The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a group with Muslim Brotherhood origins is about more than photo ops and press releases. It is about policy formulation....." 

"On March 8, ISNA President Mohamed Magid joined 10 other religious leaders in a 90-minute conversation with President Obama about immigration reform. Also present was senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, who spoke at ISNA’s 2009 convention....." 

KNOCK KNOCK! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

  

The DOJ likely already had all the evidence needed to indict Ilhan Omar (otherwise, a federal judge wouldn’t have authorized a search warrant this close to an election). If I had to guess, the indictments were ready to file weeks ago. 

 The raid today was bait to get Democratic candidates on the record supporting Omar. “I stand with Ilhan,” “Ilhan is the best of America,” etc.
