I’m all confused. Is it true that Kamala Harris’s earrings at the debate were clip-on earbuds? Probably not, but it would be fun if they were. Imagine if they were programmed by the CCP to spy on the councils of the blob.
And whatabout the Haitians of Springfield, Ohio, eating cats and geese? Could be, but the most important thing is Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, Rule 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
Hello! Do our people love generating memes about Trump and cats and geese, or what?

But I have more serious things to discuss today, given that our wise leaders are talking about sending long-range missiles to Ukraine. I think that AT’s own Stephen Bryen nailed it by writing:
The truth is Washington wants to take up Zelensky’s proposals for deep strikes on Russian territory because Ukraine is losing the war and could be defeated even before the Presidential elections in November.
(h/t Clarice Feldman)
And that would really put the cat among the geese, as far as the presidential election is concerned.
It is obvious to me that our rulers are out of ideas and losing control. That’s what Trump in 2016 means; that’s what the Bernie-to-Biden switcheroo in 2020 means; that’s what the Biden-to-Harris switcheroo meant in July. That’s what the three-against-one debate on September 10 was all about. Our rulers are desperately trying to hold their regime together as it crumbles into dust.
But I have the answer to our foreign policy problems, because I just finished Kissinger’s 2014 book World Order. Of course, Kissinger veils his ideas in Straussian “esotericism.” But we are wise, and can read between the lines.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin.
At the end of the book Kissinger tells us that, far from One World Order, we must understand that today’s diplomats must negotiate between four foundation narratives. First there is the western Westphalian order, an assembly of independent nation states. Then there is China:
Confucianism ordered the world into tributaries in a hierarchy defined by approximations of Chinese culture… Thus China felt no need to go abroad to discover a world it considered already ordered[.]
Islam is different:
Islam divided the world order into a world of peace, that of Islam, and a world of war, inhabited by unbelievers… Islam could achieve the theoretical fulfillment of world order only by conquest or global proselytization[.]
India is also different:
Hinduism, which perceives cycles of history and metaphysical reality transcending temporal experience, treated its world of faith as a complete system not open to new entrants by either conquest or conversion.
Yes, but whatabout Russia, Hank?
Kissinger deals with Russia at the beginning of the book, quoting Catherine the Great. Given Russia’s gigantic territory, the Prussian-born princess wrote that Russia needed to be governed by “absolute Power.”
Every other Form of Government whatsoever would not only have been prejudicial to Russia but would even have proved its entire Ruin.
I’m sure that Vladimir Putin would agree with her.
