No Pain, No Gain. Or Has the World Just Gone Insane?

Plus: Is George Soros Dead?

Tough week?

“More than 20% of all imports to the USA come from foreign subsidiaries or affiliates of U.S. multinational corporations. This is why American business is so adamantly opposed to tariffs—not fear of foreign retaliation, but fear of tariffs on products from American-owned industrial plantations.”― Michael Lind, The Next American Nation: The New Nationalism and the Fourth American Revolution

“Rumors that I had a heart attack and died are completely false. I am alive and healthy.” — George Soros on Xwitter, May 15, 2023

No one said it wasn’t going to hurt.

I’m talking tariffs, ofc. “Life During Wartime.”

As I’ve been trying to gently (and sometimes not so gently) explain to you for years, the country, the world, this entire material plane and maybe the one(s) above it, are at war. Multiple wars, one escalating into another: A Culture War that’s really Civil War 2.0 but actually WW3 yet above all else a Spiritual War. One where if-you-know-you-know it’s happening, but the vast majority of the citizenry has no clue, or at least not much more than an inkling.

President Orange is a wartime President. He was last time, too, he just didn’t know who he was at war with. Now it appears he at least halfway does. He’s certainly acting like like a wartime President, wouldn’t you say?

After much personal research, I’ve come down in favor of the controversial Trump tariffs, which are ackshully Reciprocal Tariffs. The USA has been getting screwed on tariffs from other nations, tariffs much larger and more onerous than ours, for decades.

Global trade is not fair’n’balanced. It’s not “fair trade.” In fact, it’s exactly the same game plan as “climate change” guilt trips, where America and the West are expected to follow economy-hindering rules that China and India for some reason do not, and come complete with lecturing hectoring insufferable ugly inbred-looking autistic propagandists like Hitler-bloodline skank Greta Thunberg, and that rolling series of unimpressive teen female friends of Evil Bill Gates’s equally unimpressive daughter, all of them telling us how selfish and shameful we are while emitting not a peep about the dirty filthy polluting economic engines of the East.

America’s been getting screwed over on trade deals by our politicians since before Ross Perot’s 1992 warning about the “great sucking sound” of jobs into Mexico, thanks to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but that one was among the worst. Everything on the manufacturing and blue collar jobs front has gotten much Much MUCH inferior since HillBilly Clinton and George Butch-the-first agreed that NAFTA would be great for the US economy and assured us the little man with big ears Perot was wrong.

But of course NAFTA was not great for the US worker. Only the worthless unproductive Wall Street types, and Perot was right. Sluuuuuuuurp, goes the sucking sound, whether it comes from NAFTA or The New York Times’ disgraced kneepads intel “reporter” Ali Watkins.

I see realistic arguments on each side of the tariff issue. It’s a gambit, no question, but a savvy one IMHO.

In the end I’ve got to come down like this: America still has significant weight that can be thrown around economically against nations that mean us ill (which seems to be pretty much everybody in 2025), so let’s put the hammer down economically and see who gets nailed.

I may be a massive stooge — and if that proves the case, you know I’ll admit it — but this explanation from the ‘chans makes sense to me:

This is serious and daring brinksmanship, but it is not a fool’s strategy when you’re holding the better cards. I think we are.

Of course, just because “it makes sense to me” doesn’t mean that it makes sense IRL. Maybe it’s going to work. Maybe it’s not. But tariffs have been a valid economic strategy historically to even the playing field and assist the working class. Ideally, the tariffs will elevate American workers, reduce the deficit, bring manufacturing and purchasing back to domestic exchanges, force other nations to lower their own tariffs against us. That’s the plan, at least.

Everybody paying attention and not lying to themself has known for years that the stock market is at least halfway fake (and gay!) and most certainly globalist. Wall Street doesn’t care about or look out for Main Street USA or the American worker or the normal everyday Blue Collar families who work hard and just want to own a nice house in a safe town and raise a few healthy kids and watch some sports and Netflix and send their kids to a decent school that doesn’t fly trans flags or teach the seditious 1619 Project.

And yet…If you watched the ridiculous estrogenized lily-white “Hands Off” protests over the weekend, you’d get the impression that one significant demographic portion of the country actually does want Main Street to fail. A demo that does want the government to keep expanding until there are no private sector jobs. That does prioritize illegal immigrants over citizens, and trans not-girls over teen girls. That hates Elon and DOGE uncovering corruption and saving taxpayers’ money.

Yup yup. All evidence suggests that there is a very loud but indeterminate number of people in the country who are so infused with illogical levels of personal hatred that they would rather see the United States of America fail than for President Orange to succeed.

It’s a mental sickness. Who are these people? If you look at the footage from any of the protests over the weekend in major cities, the vast majority of attendees appear to be middle-aged to elderly white women, with a minority of younger white women and soy-fueled effeminate-looking white men. Not many young people. Even fewer PoC.

The “blackest” city to hold a “Hands Off” (“HO”? Uh-oh!) protest was the Washington, D.C., protest. D.C.’s population is significantly more than half black or brown. Yet there were nearly no black or brown people to be seen at D.C.’s anti-Trump event. Only white people. Mostly white women. Mostly middle-aged white women. Mostly ugly, angry, middle-aged and older white women. Have you heard about these lonesome losers? Beaten by the Queen of Hearts, every time!

So. Many. Crazy. Lonely. Unhappy. Purposeless. Liberal. White Women. Remember: 56% of all liberal white women age 18-29 self-identify as having been diagnosed with at least one mental illness. 40% of all liberal white women age 30-49 self-identify a mental illness diagnosis. Liberal white women are the most dangerous demographic in America to the health of the nation, its freedoms and its children. I worked with a bazillion of ‘em in the advertising & marketing industries; watched their misguided but strident self-righteousness kill 100-year old brands & ad agencies. Wild!

We should consider not only who these protesters were, but how many were they? In Chicago, for example, the controlled corrupt collectivist corporate criminal clown media told us there were 30,000+ anti-Trump protesters at the Windy City’s “Hands Off” (HO!) event.

Yet CIA/NSA whistleblower and big data pioneer @TonySeruga clocked all the GPS figures from the Chicago event and counted 7,498 devices. Cross- referencing that GPS data from prior events he chronicled, Seruga discovered 92% (!) of the 7,498 mobile devices had previously attended five or more Kamala Harris rallies, Antifa/BLM protests, pro-Hamas events, and/or pro-Palestinian protests. Out of that 92%, Seruga traced the GPS profiles of participants to six non-profit organizations whom it would appear are funding the protesters. Paying them to show up. Masquerading an astroturfed “protest” as an organic grass-roots uprising. Seruga’s research and explanation can be found here.

People have been complaining that George Soros is funding these protests — which include professionally printed matching signs and large expensive floating balloons that caricature Trump, neither of which is the product of a claimed grassroots “resistance” — but I don’t think that’s possible because George Soros is probably dead.

I’ve been saying that for more than a year: George Soros is dead or otherwise incapacitated (but probably dead!), though I’ve not gotten around to writing about it. Until now.

Despite the #FakeNews media’s (probably successful) attempts to convince you otherwise, the allegedly 94 years old George Soros has not been seen in public for over two years. In fact, as I type this today, April 8, 2025, George Soros has not been seen in public in exactly two years, one month, and three weeks.

The most recent confirmed public appearance of George Soros occurred when he delivered a prototypical Soros speech about climate change and global governance (e.g., a one-world government!) during the Munich Security Conference on February 16, 2023.

At the Munich conference, Soros proposed solar geoengineering solutions to restore the Arctic's reflective effects by creating “white clouds to deflect sunlight,” or else we’ll have “a catastrophic outcome” by 2070. Uh-huh.

The quintessential self-hating Jew George Soros, demonstrably rotting from the inside out. This is from his last public appearance in Munich on 2/16/23, exactly two years, one month, and three weeks ago. But he’s totally not dead (or otherwise incapacitated. But probably dead!).

In his last public appearance over two years ago, George Soros also predicted Ukrainian victory against Russia, vilified Vlad Putin as an untrustworthy imperialist, and framed the modern world as balanced upon an urgent razor’s edge, divided between "open" and "closed" societies. Of course George Soros asserted The Ukraine was standard-bearer for an “open” society…despite closeted queer cocaine-addict and penis-piano-playing President Voldemort Zelenskyyyyyyy’s cancellation of elections, shuttering of non-government media, outlawing opposing political parties, banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, pulling old men and tween boys off the street to conscript them to fight and die in a guaranteed losing war, etc, etc. That’s what classifies as an “open society” in Law of Inversion Land, I guess.

Anyway, back in February 2023, the last time he was seen in public, George Soros spoke for just under an hour. 48 minutes. Since then, there have been no verified public appearances of George Soros.

First in June and again in August 2023 — as rumors about his heart-attack dirt nap were escalating — George’s short, stupid, spindly son Alex Soros shared photos of his father on social media, reportedly taken at Soros’s home. Those photos should not be considered public appearances.

Moreover, George Soros has not granted a single phone or Zoom interview in the two years, one month, and three weeks since Munich. No conference presentations. No NGO glad-handing. No U.N. speeches. There have been zero press releases with follow up conversation options. No video statements. It's easier than ever to "do your own thing" with video on YouTube, yet nothing. Nothing!

In other words: After decades and decades of outspoken evangelism for issues close to his heart (if he has one) and his personal brand of philanthropy, George Soros has gone completely silent.

Even when George Soros was bestowed with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in early January 2025 by President Joe Biden, he didn't show up. His creepy closeted (IMHO!) queer son Alex did. Moreover, the controlled corporate media keeps pumping out misleading stories that are written as if to suggest George Soros recently made a public appearance and said something important, but actually that’s not the case; when you investigate, you discover the appearance and comments were from years ago.

Nightmare Fuel! The ultimate halfwit nepo-baby, Alex Soros, is another tiny (5’5”) lift-wearing loser who half the time displays the “deer in headlights” expression of a small man who knows he’s in it waaaaay over his head. That explains the arranged marriage to hellbound Huma Abedin, the brains of the operation, just like her prior “match made in Hell” arranged marriage to another malevolent moron, Anthony Weiner, though Tony W. seemingly prefers teen girls to teen boys. Just my opinion!

So yeah. I think George Soros is dead (or otherwise incapacitated. But probably dead!). I think we’ve not been told because George makes a good schlimazel or scarecrow or scapegoat or punching bag. “A political bogeyman,” in the words of PBS.

As “a political bogeyman,” dead George Soros takes much of the heat off his loser son, the dummy, the puppet. And even more heat off that dummy puppet son’s fiancé and presumed puppet-master, Huma Abadin, a key wicked witch in Hillary’s commie coven, with credible connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and allegations of being a Saudi Arabian spy. Plus she was married to that freak (and Jonathan Leibowitz’s former roommate!) Anthony Weiner, which should set off alarm bells all by itself (how many NYPD cops killed themselves, or “killed themselves,” after seeing Anthony Weiner’s laptop? Nine of twelve, was it? And where the hell is Anthony Weiner’s laptop? Just one of so many things down the rabbit hole, ignored by the weak frauds of corporate media, those sniveling kneepads lapdogs to power).

Hell-bound Huma is surely the power behind the Soros throne. Like a fly around a turd, Huma’s always been hovering near the seat(s) of money and power. She’s probably at least 40+ I.Q. points higher than her goony betrothed, who comes off as borderline retarded in interviews. Huma Abedin is far more likely to be pulling the strings and stroking the socialist storylines from the shadows of Soros’s Open Society Foundation, as well as the bloodline’s many other false front fascist fakes, eight arms to hold you!, the octopus tendrils of the sinister Soros empire’s serpentining and intertwining choking grasp upon the throats and hearts and minds of our once far-more innocent nation (weren’t we?).

That’s it. To quote Bizarro-World John Lennon, “Give tariffs a chance.” Have some faith in your country. Don’t under-estimate its economic power, nor the work ethic of America’s men and women. I think we and it are much tougher and stronger than the rest of the world.

Also note how nearly all the same people screeching about how this is the end of the planet are the very same people who have been wrong about nearly everything, yet nearly never in doubt: They cheered the lockdown, masked your kids, wanted you to starve if you didn’t get the vaxx, put a Ukraine flag in their profile picture a few months after they put a black box to virtue signal their fealty to the criminals running Black Lives Matter, hate the First and Second Amendments of our Constitution, and call everybody who disagrees with them Nazis.

They’re losers. You can tell, because they keep losing. Losing so bad they’ve got to keep George Soros’s death a secret. Remember: You heard it here first.

I’ve been unexpectedly entertained in conversations with Xwitter’s Grok A.I., which is charming, personable and can be reasoned with. If you follow this exchange with Grok, you can witness me providing enough circumstantial evidence to convince the A.I. that George Soros is likely dead (or otherwise incapacitated. But probably dead!): Grok estimated a 15% chance when we started “talking,” then ratcheted up to a 60% chance by the time we were finished. Are you as smart as Grok? “He’s dead, Jim.”
