Now Tubularsock is sitting at Tubularsock’s HUGE desk in his top floor corner office atop Tubularsock’s Underground Bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland California. (see Bunker Tour)

“I can see clearly now the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way . . .” as Johnny Nash wrote and sang.

And yes, that line does apply to the fact that the Ukrainian High Court finally has just eliminated Ukraine’s’ last political party from their dozen political opposition parties leaving ONLY ONE PARTY in the country.

So Ukraine is an EXCLUSIVE ONE PARTY DEMOCRACY!

Boy oh boy, that sure encourages other democracies to rally around the flag. Doesn’t it.

The much more radical thought hanging around is that, “the U.S. is a democracy”. With TWO parties that is only, in truth, ONE party.

Sure you get to vote but the results are ALWAYS the same!

If the Democraps win they spend their time doing NOTHING except investigating the Republicant’s and how terrible they are and if the Republicant’s win they spend all their time doing NOTHING except investigating the Democraps and how terrible they have been!

BUT THEY BOTH SUPPORT every war that comes by the Pentagon’s door!

Hey ………….. It’s the American way, “War is Peace!”

STEP BACK, let Tubularsock through here.

You have got to have recognized that we are living in bazaar times. And it is extremely difficult to get the full picture because we have been trained over our years that the movie we are living in has pretty much been standard fare.

And because of that traditional view of living we may have been really rather slow at the uptake when it comes to the blatant danger because it has all the trappings of the same old same old. BUT, let Tubularsock give you a little bit different point of view and let us see what happens.

Oh sure, Tubularsock’s view is presented FREE to you but if you wish to donate a brown unmarked lunch bag stuffed with unmarked Franklins feel free to do so. Say, like under the bus bench at 13th and Lincoln Ave.?

Appreciate it.

The current movie that we each are staring in looks like the same old good guys vs. bad guys style except that the BAD GUYS are really BAD GUYS on steroids! They are for REAL!

The entire cast has been taken right from Central Casting. And as you will see, your part is really only a stand-in part with NO DIALOGUE. That way, you get paid less than the stars. You know below scale.

No time to bitch now, you as citizens know your place.

Anyway, just look at the stars. And you will see as Tubularsock is going to point out to you that these stars ARE PERFECT!

Now STEP BACK behind the portable crowd control braided rope held by the gold stanchions.

PLEASE STEP BACK.

So now let’s look at our first living film. It is almost as good as John Wayne, partners.

Shot Anyone? It’s a doctor flick.

Then there is the classic HORROR GENRE. OF COURSE “SCHWAB EVIL”.
Come on, can it get better than this, yet it is only type casting!

And there are all those CRIME IN ACTION flicks. This one involves some very heinous criminal types disguised in robes of the realm.

And then how could any period in our history be without the ALL OUT WAR scenario? It has played out over and over and over at the box office as well the streets of the world.

And then no matter how bad war happens to be there is ALWAYS some Capitalist Pig trying to make a buck. Isn’t that ALWAYS the way?

So here has been presented Tubularsock’s current reruns at the movies.

PASS THE POP CORN PLEASE.

The thing that bothers Tubularsock about WAR is having so many. In our 246 years of being a nation we have been in 225 wars! And that’s not counting the long history of rigging polls, supporting military coups, channeling funds and spreading political propaganda in other countries.

The United States has been involved in a number of foreign interventions throughout its history that are not called wars yet many people get killed.

And what is way worse in Tubularsock’s opinion is the political leaders in the United States of America lecturing the World about how WRONG other nations are for having wars and then Moralizing about the subject. The old “pot calling the kettle black” syndrome.

And now here we are once again. If you haven’t looked into this current conflict you would not be aware that the U.S. has been up to it’s “chinny-chin-chin” in setting up this current conflict between Russia and Ukraine. WE HELPED CAUSE IT!

Yet to listen to our propaganda news outlets WE ARE ALL SHOCKED WITH DESPAIR that RUSSIA AND ABOVE ALL PUTIN are so evil.

For Tubularsock it is rather funny to listen to the shit coming out of their mouths except Tubularsock had to get out Tubularsock’s hip-boots to protect Tubularsock’s shoes.

But then this headline hit the news and enough is enough ……

And just like shit hitting the fan …….. Tubularsock just had to directly respond:

And the beat goes on ………………

Oh well, Tubularsock’s Go-Fund-Me account for helping the Russians in getting a new tank was rejected again. 

You know one just can’t get past the censors in a democracy anymore.

As you may have heard, Russia has moved into the breakaway areas of Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk and have spilled over a bit to hit the Ukraine’s capitol city Kyiv as well.

Well ok, “spilled” may be better explained as “multiple fronts”. And why not, they have their troops on the boarder standing around so why not put them to use?

This could have been all avoided but the U.S. is losing the Covid- Authoritarian-War so maybe we could jack up Putin. 

But as Tubularsock said, this could have all been avoided but hell Americans aren’t going over there to die ……… yet. And if they do, no loss. It will clean up the gene pool of the stupid!

JD Bindenagel, a former deputy US ambassador to Germany, stated that he believes “. . . NATO's mistake was not so much the actual enlargement direction, but with not taking seriously the Russian view that it had been betrayed”. 

You see, Russia was assured by NATO and the U.S. that NATO would not advance toward Russian boarders. BUT OVER THE YEARS THEY HAVE!

Ahhh, silly Russians taking the U.S. and NATO’s word for it.

And by golly ………. Russia was deceived!

So having the Ukraine join NATO would put the NATO and U.S. military right on the Russian boarder. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING! 

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? Russia wanted to put missiles right on the U.S. boarder and look how that played out.

So why would anyone ever even think that NATO on the boarder would go?

But it could’ve been solved without firing a shot.

HOW?

Well Russia had proposed:

– NATO guarantees that it will not deploy missiles in nations bordering Russia. (They are already in place from Slovenia to Romania, with Poland to follow)– NATO to stop military and naval exercises in nations and seas bordering Russia.– Ukraine will not become a member of NATO. 
– the West and Russia to sign a binding East-West security pact.– the landmark treaty between the US and Russia covering intermediate-range nuclear weapons to be restored. (The US abandoned it in 2019) 

Wow! Those Russians drive a hard bargain!

The U.S. and NATO just can’t accept these outrageous demands ………….

Now you explain to Tubularsock why these are not acceptable solutions.

The U.S. and NATO keep saying they are open to negotiations but won’t accept solutions!

SO ………… Russia took the option that the U.S. and NATO gave them.

AND SO …….. send your money to Tubularsock’s Go-Fund-Me Russian Tank Fund!


Now don’t get Tubularsock wrong here. Tubularsock doesn’t trust Russia but only that Tubularsock trust the U.S. less.

If you haven’t noticed, the U.S. is the largest terrorist state in the world and regularly kills men, women and children throughout the world.

The Russians sure know that and so does the rest of the world. We are the ones who actually created ISIS and al Qaida and we have more military bases throughout the world than anyone else.

And a military budget far larger than China and Russia combined!

BUT WE KILL FOR DEMOCRACY. Just ask the Vietnamese! Oh, and Syrians, Libyans, Yemenis, Iraqis, Ugandans, Kenya’s, Somalians, Afghans, ad nauseam!

THAT IS WHY TUBULARSOCK SUPPORTS RUSSIA IN THIS WAR!

Not because Russia is at war but because it is the only way Russia can catch up with the number of American’s wars. It’s only fair.

So you see, it is for a good cause ……. Go-Fund-Me!

EVERYONE IS RUSSIAING TO DO IT!

Ok, Tubularsock is not known for humbleness. And there is no time for Tubularsock to sit around and not CLEAR THE DECKS when it come to Canada and Russia.

Tubularsock, with his astute ability at spotting the problem and solving it at the same time has always been apparent.

Seriously, it just saves time ………….

Lets take Canada. Justin Trudeau has called out for emergency powers to squelch the blockade protest against COVID-19 mandates. One aspect of this move gives the Government the power to have the banks close accounts and block people who wish to support the Truckers based on said people’s Facebook and Twitter accounts.

And if a bank closes an account based on this basis the bank can not be held accountable for their actions. IT’S THE LAW! (Bitcoin anyone?)

SO BE IT!

Solution?

A banker who may be ready to retire or a lesser bank employee with a since of humor could close down Justin Trudeau’s personal checking and savings account in the name of a national emergency.

Just to make THE POINT. And you can not be held accountable!

NOTE TO ANY CANADIAN BANKER: Tubularsock gives you this idea free and clear with no interest charges or added fees. Just Do It for the fun of it!

OK. THAT’S SETTLED!

We move on to the Russians and Ukraine. OH MY WHAT TO DO.

Simple ……… a Tubularsock specialty.

Now what is the issue? Well Russia doesn’t want NATO to move into Ukraine and create a military presence on their boarder.

Seems reasonable. Doesn’t it?

Solution?

Russia arranges with Cuba to have the Russians create a military base in Cuba.

The Russians send four of their highly advanced Navy ships to Cuba as a show of force. Remember the Cuban missile crises? Da ja vou.
And then the Russian negotiate with the U.S. that they will remove that presence near the U.S. boarder IF THE U.S. reciprocates and not allows Ukraine to become a member of NATO but rather becomes a “buffer-state” between the Russian border and the NATO border.

NOTE TO VLAD: Tubularsock gives you this idea free and clear with no interest charges or added fees. Just Do It for the fun of it!

OK. THAT’S SETTLED!

Tubularsock thinks that it is obvious that Tubularsock is like pretty close to a genius when it comes to foreign policy. Just ask Tubularsock!

Wow, another 9/11 and the U.S. is still droning any and everybody.

You know: FOR FREEDOM!

The best story out of Afghanistan which sums up U.S. foreign policy happened the day after suicide car bombers blew up over 160 Afghans and 13 American soldiers outside the Kabul Airport.

The BUYDONE response was to drone a suspected group the day after and just happened to blow to bits a family of 10 mostly children and the father who was not only supportive of the U.S. but had obtained papers from the U.S. to come to the U.S. with his family. oops.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT AMERICAN POLICY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT.

Use people, then discard them.

Don’t think so?

Look at our history in Latin America, Africa, Asia and EVEN in North America.

One thing we can say for sure,

WE ARE NOT A NOBLE PEOPLE!

Now by this time reading Tubularsock you regular readers know that pretty much Tubularsock hates just about everyone in the political arena and perhaps most people that inhabit the planet earth.

Tubularsock’s term for this position this time is Universal Egalitarian Loathing (UEL).

And so it goes.

Tubularsock has noticed out of the corner of an extreme left eye squint that we are still living in another Shakespearean Play and we are ALL extreme down stage nearly falling off into the netherworld.

Don’t be scared ……… it’s only a play.

Oh sure our souls are already forever doomed to wander aimlessly in the netherworld
especially if you are a Republican’t or a Democrap so fuck it.

The key give away for Tubularsock that everything is upside-down is that a “vaccine” that by definition is NOT a vaccine is just called a “vaccine” BY nearly EVERYONE even people that know it is not a vaccine but still call it one. WTF?

Another key give away that we live in an upside-down world is that one of our forever wars which had NO VALID reason to exist is now creating havoc because it is said to being ended …………. BUTTTTT.

And the humor level of the Pentagon Generals is just fucking priceless.

Funny how that always works for the Pentagon isn’t it.

The simple reason is that the simple “Intel” the Pentagon uses just isn’t intelligent!
They used the same Intel on 9/11 and you know where that got us.

So to listen to General Milley say (IN PUBLIC), “There was nothing that I, or anyone else, saw that indicated a collapse of [the Afghan] army and this government in 11 days” just shows you that having your head up your ass prevents good intel. Now doesn’t it?

Pentagon confirms major US intelligence OVERSIGHT in Afghanistan!

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE is obviously lacking which is the third example of our upside-down world that we are inhabiting.

OUR intelligence isn’t intelligent ……….. THAT EXPLAINS A LOT!

Now if you remember your Shakespeare it is always the FOOL or JESTER that spills the truth all over the place and all proceeds from there.

And it still holds true today. And who, none other than Donald Trump, could play the FOOL part better? Damn, the boy’s a natural!

You see the FOOL, in Shakespeare is always a bit deranged or mentally-off so as not to get his head chopped off by the king as he slips the TRUTH out for all to hear. And Donnie is perfect in this role and the reaction to this truth is aways shock and dismay.

Perfect! And on top of it HE’S CORRECT! Many FOOLS have found themselves in that position throughout history!

Trump, the scammer of all scammers KNOWS A SCAM WHEN HE SEE IT!

“That sounds to me like a money-making operation for Pfizer,” Trump said. “Think of the money involved. A booster shot, that’s tens of billions of dollars. How good of business is that? If you’re a businessman, you say, ‘You know what? Let’s give them another shot.’ That’s another $10 billion of money coming in. The whole thing is just crazy.”

Especially when one considers that the “Experimental Shot” is sketchy in its own right. You know it doesn’t really protect you from getting or passing Covid plus a complete unknown future of possible health damage to your person which BIG PHARMA CARRIES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IF THINGS GO WRONG.

And people are standing in line for this and if they give you a “prize” you risk your life.

That is rich! Shows a TOTAL disrespect to your own body! FUCKING NUTS!

So an upside-down world is just the way it is and rest assured Dorthy, clicking your heels ain’t gonna’ get us out of this mess!

So Tubularsock asked Juliet to dump Romeo and come to the bell tower to smoke some weed and share Biden jokes. Suicide for the sake of love is a bit overrated.

Can we all just, “groove on the rubble”?

OPTICAL DELUSION

 

Well. Are you paying attention yet?

Buydone’s First Attack as our protector and chief was to bomb Syria.

And you thought Russia and China were sitting at our borders ready to pounce.

NOPE. It’s Syria.

It was self defense. You are safe now. Feel better?

You see, Iran-backed militias are believed responsible for a Feb. 15 rocket attack in Iraq that killed a U.S. military contractor and wounded a U.S. service member.

Now you could say, “Wow, we’re still in Iraq? Haven’t we devastated Iraq completely yet?”

Well no we haven’t!

You see after Saudi Arabia attacked us on 9/11 we immediately invaded Afghanistan only to discover according to Donald Rumsfeld that, “. . . there aren’t any good targets in Afghanistan. And there are lots of good targets in Iraq”.
So we started a war in Iraq in order that we could lose two wars together. Afghanistan and Iraq. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED?

Now we keep trying to start a war with IRAN but to date Iran just keeps out smarting us.
That and they have nuclear arms.

AND WE’VE DONE IT NOW!

In this last election all Tubularsock heard from so many is that we had to get rid of the Orange Dump and elect Slow Buydone so we all could GET BACK TO NORMAL!

And we’ve done it. No health care, no jobs, no fair minimum wage, AND NEVER ENDING WARS.

Congratulations America, WE’RE BACK!

So we have taken two F-15 fighter jets which cost $43.1 million each to build and they shot off seven precision guided missiles at a cost of $115,000.00 each and each F-15 cost $41,921.00 per hour in fuel not to even mention the cost of all the support necessary to conduct the mission which easily falls into the millions.

And we killed 17 people.

$86,200,000 plane cost
$805,000 missile cost
$125,763 fuel cost 1.5 hr flight time x 2

$87,130,763.00 divided by 17 = $5,125,339.00

And you know the funniest part?
NOT ONE MEMBER OF CONGRESS SAID, “Where will the money come from?”
A dead Syrian is worth more than an American citizen ……. very strange priorities, wouldn’t you say?

 

TRUMPISSILE EXPOSED!

Now just how will Tubularsock explain this to all you patriots?

How about the simple way?

Now just why is North Korea building up their missile defense? Just why do they believe that they need them?

Well it has got to be that Kim Jong-un is a MAD MAN! Just has to be!

U.S. warns North Korea about their missile plans, and extends the travel ban against them!

Why does North Korea think they need missiles anyway?

 

Pentagon makes case for sea-launched nuclear cruise missile

DARPA’s air-breathing hypersonic missiles ready for free-flight tests

U.S. Air Force test-launches unarmed ICBM in California

Harpoon missile firing sinks target ship in Hawaiian naval exercise

U.S. B-1 Lancers, B-2 stealth bombers conduct missions in Indo-Pacific

Production of Air Force’s first B-21 stealth bomber on schedule

U.S. hypersonic weapon system completes second test on B-52 Stratofortress

 

 

 

MYSTERY SOLVED!

HELL, THAT WAS EASY.

 

LIES WE LIVE BY: AMERICA

The main thing Tubularsock appreciates about OrangeDufus is that he has brought to the light what the United States has been hiding from its own citizens from its founding and this deception was and is to this day the deliberate fabrication that our country REALLY believes in and stands for Justice for all, Freedom for all, and a system that rewards the hard working with a future of prosperity for all.

And as for “moral” leadership? Just when did that EVER exist in our history?

Nope ……. never happened! And YOU know it and your neighbors know it but you push on believing it is true because IF IT IS NOT then who’s running things?

To Tubularsock, it is much like the entire 9/11 facade ……… the story of what occurred is a lie of the highest order but even today when it is brought up people will go the long way around the room to avoid facing the “possibility” that their government lied to them.

WHY? Simple. “If Daddy lies to me then who is in charge and who will PROTECT ME!
Even if the next day he beats me again.

And even more outrageous to Tubularsock and every THINKING person is that “OUR” government LIED us into the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War to name the short list and the citizens will follow like sheep into the next one and even allow their children to die …………. FOR NOTHING. NOTHING!

It is tiring to watch but the fear and propaganda is fast and furious. And people worry about the fucking Russians ……… go fucking look in the mirror America! YES YOU!

And with all of that we are entering into the 2020 election and if you haven’t noticed, NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

The Roman Bread and Circus in form of the CELL PHONE and social media runs more shit faster than in any other time in the history of the world BUT the population may be dumber. Go figure.

And with G5, when in full operation, we’ll ALL have an ORANGE TAN like the OrangeDufus mixed with fried brains with soy sauce courtesy of Huawei!

And yet the beat goes on …………

And we have the OrangeDufus to thank for the exposing all of this on the obscene level because he is so unfiltered.

He is a TOTAL ASS (not a 1/2 ass) and “thinks” (always a questionable endeavor with him) that what he does is “normal”. A classic deranged mind on steroids.

As opposed to the Step-en-fetch-it Kneegrow, Obummer who talks the smooth jive but was a slave to wall street banks and the military industrial complex and was paid handsomely for bending over and taking it up the ass for the gipper!

And we can’t forget, the total imbecile BabyBush and his fucking CIA daddy for lying us into war with Iraq and destabilizing the entire Middle East using the EVIL PERSONIFIED Prick-Cheney as his lead homey! Fuck them both!

Or how about President Blue Stain Dress Slick Willy and his besty friend Jeffrey Epstein spending all that time on Petalphile Island. Presidential material for sure!

And not last and not least but Tubularsock just has to bring forth head up his ass Alzheimer-Ron. A low time low for presidential standards.

Does any of this point to why the U.S. has been on a rapid decline which may really end with the Dumb-Shit-OrangeDufus?

But what OrangeDufus has done for us is to highlight just how corrupt and dysfunctional the U.S. political establishment is and has been ALL ALONG.

And that is why Bernie is a breath of fresh air and the reason that his CHANGE IN DIRECTION is so frightening the the status quo.

The corporate Democraps will lose their corrupt grip on the system and so will the corrupt Republicant’s!

And you can tell just how scary it is because the Clinton/Obummer wing of the corporate Democraps are willing to let the OrangeDufus win rather than support Bernie!

WHY?

And the reason is as simple and as obvious.

With a Bernie win THEY lose power and the corrupt money they take along the way because they hold that power.

The Republicants are in the same boat!

You see, what we have here is THE CORRUPT DEALINGS of both as well as either/or parties: The Democraps and the Republican’ts and they trade back and forth the power so as to keep their corrupt government contracts and money flow.

Bernie is the monkey wrench in the gears of corruption and THAT is why both parties will do whatever necessary to stop Bernie and save THEIR gravy train. EVEN IF HE WINS!

And in the process ………. FUCK YOU MR. AND MRS. AND MISS AND MS. AND YOUR PRONOUN OF CHOICE AMERICA!

Now don’t get Tubularsock wrong here. Bernie has his own baggage. His total foreign policy record is not to the liking of Tubularsock BUT it is not out of line with what traditional American foreign policy has been …….. complete domination of the world!

No, Bernie’s strength lies in SOCIAL REFORM and fairness within the U.S. boarders.

Medicare4All, the Green New Deal, free public college, universal free child care and always the resounding chorus of “HOW DO WITH PAY FOR THIS?”

We pay for this the exact same way we pay for CONTINUOUS WAR! That’s how.

Ever notice that there is ALWAYS enough to bloat the Pentagon Budget but never enough for child care? Ever wonder why?

Simple answer: there is more profit for the few with WAR than helping the citizen with a chance to live a prosperous life. Think on this! It explains a lot!

NOW.

Even with a Bernie win (if that is even possible in a system of cheats and scoundrels) those who control the power are not going to give up nor are they going to roll over and play dead.

The powerful will stonewall the system BIG-TIME to prevent any changes where they lose power and PROFIT, period!

So IF Bernie does win, it will take those who elected him not to go back to sleep like American voters always do after an election (you know, “let daddy handle it from here”) but to stay active as a mass movement and support the changes needed aggressively.

Like: Shut down the system until it responds to the changes necessary for a free and fair DEMOCRACY!

Stop buying shit until change happens. Remember a loss of profit in this system speaks louder than photos of starving children!

Can this happen? Well, “Tubularsock Has A Dream”, and unlike other dreamers Tubularsock won’t be standing on any motel balconies any time soon.
