“They have F-18s and F35s” Okay, so planes that fly and planes that don’t

Wait where’s Annibale

The Turkish state is a normal kind of allied country to the USA which distinguishes itself from most of NATO or even Japan/South Korea by having some willingness leverage its geography and potential to switch camps to get US concessions. Israel isn’t formally an ally at all but is instead just part of the U.S. on the elite level. Most of the U.S. oligarchy and a large part of its older population identifies with it as their source of divine or historical legitimacy.

Hahahahaha the moment around 27 when John refers to the Ai Weiwei meter, and discovers Ais tranformation in real time

My pet theory about rich reactionaries going fishing and hunting is that these guys actually take little pleasure in outdoorsmanship and do it in groups, often with professional guides, to prove some internal idea of being naturally rugged, competitive, and averse to relaxation; they get the added kick of increasing their impatience to go back to work. It’s a bit like a cocaine guy doing pushups twelve hours into a binge, except they’re doing pushups for twelve hours before they allow themselves a snoot

Hey Mark I hear Niagara Falls is partially frozen. Maybe worth seeing and the warming up with a garbage plate

I disagree, as a man from Memphis, what are we listening too but a couple Berkley profrosser talk down on us. I pay my 5 bucks. But all they have to say anymore is israel did it

GC

i think Mark and John are great but, that aside, have you been to the Pyramid since BPS moved in? It's J G Ballard on river meth and mummy dust, dude

GC

and occasionally they get to shoot an acquaintance in the face

As someone who grew up living down a long stretch of dirt road, (like 15 miles) where even the kids from the VERY rural fishing village would make fun of my family for living in the “woods”…it’s PRICELESS listening to a couple of city folk trying to explain what a Bass Pro shop is to the audience

Thinking about rich people going hunting reminded me of the Qatari bustard hunters, and thinking about that story creates the same effect in my brain as coming inside from a cold snowy day, taking off my gloves, and warming my hands over the fireplace.

Israel is strategically crucial for the ruling class because it's where they can go to hang out after being accused of heinous sex crimes and then come back after a couple years and go right back to their disgusting lives as if nothing happened.

Thanks guys, was worried that my comfort show might disappoint on this subject matter: I appreciate you being clear-minded about good and evil in this regard. It is disturbing how many people want “due process,” when the crimes are so apparent and obvious. Having had professional contact in my youth with several people implicated I can say none of it is a shock: Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and the Finance world are all guilty and the pedo rapists love to hire people who allow their shit to continue; so it does end up happening within executive and middle management settings. The maddening thing is women have been saying this for a long time now and I hope this helps push more men to do some ally ship fucking anti-rape work !!

Can we get something on the epstein files and his obvious israeli connection

The Johnstown flood was caused by one of these hunt/fish clubs for Pittsburgh industrialists. After dodging all responsibility they moved it to Ligonier and it’s where the Mellon babies are cloistered. If you know a member you can go pretend to be Teddy Roosevelt and execute a factory farmed deer, pheasant, or trout in a simulacrum of an outdoor experience.

The Bass Pro Pyramid has genuine occult power. I once took an overnight train from New Orleans to Chicago and was woken up in Memphis by its eerie glow through the windows. Previous RWN guest Matt Farwell has a running fixation with it and has written some very fun stuff about it.

GC

yessssssss, amazing, thank you. i crave others' experiences with that pyramid to help me process my own and will be joining Matt's substack within minutes. (hey, i know that stretch of track well! it was probably still dark when you went through Cairo, which has an occult power all its own)

Looking for the Episode guide that was posted before. Has it been scuttled?

JoR

It’s still here it’s just no longer pinned. If you use the filter to only select “text” posts, they’ll only be 3 posts, should be the last one

Benj

Thanks!

Also do you have a fireplace? It made this past weekend nice and survivable.
