The Rosen Report

A Reply to several comments on the piece about Tucker Carlson from yesterday.  Never Underestimate The Factor Of Insanity In Politics-- What I wrote about are scenarios, simply to put something out there and let it sink in that there are people in power at the highest level who are reminiscent of the interrelated royal houses of Europe leading up to World War I, who plunged nations into bloody destruction and chaos by miscalculation, because they were morally and intellectually degenerate.  The secondary leaders allowed World War I to happen because loyalty to these rulers, defending their "systems," borders, colonies, family fortunes, resources, all came before the welfare of their people, whose lives were wasted and cities destroyed in five years of trench and mechanized warfare.  WWI was preceded by numerous smaller conflicts, and beginning in 1865 with Lincoln's murder, 33 leaders of government, including two more American Presidents, several Kings and one Czar, Queen...

Did Putin Use Tucker Carlson To Float A Planned US Doomsday Scenario, Or Was It A Different Musk-ovite?   Some Not So Random Hypotheticals, Analysis, Opinion, Broad Assertions, And Tea Leaf Reading-  Lance Rosen August 28, 2023 Introduction-- Almost lost in the avalanche of last week's coverage of Trump's surrender and mugshot in Fulton County was the spectacular and shocking interview question asked of Trump by Tucker Carlson on his podcast for podpersons and "X-humans" earlier in that week.  What was shocking besides the content of it, was that he kept coming back to it, repeatedly demanding a direct response by Trump, who tried to avoid the subject because it clearly made him uncomfortable. As reported by "Slate" (link below in comments) and other outlets, Carlson asked Trump if he was afraid that "The Left" would assassinate him, and could that start a Civil War in the US? Trump changed the subject by obsessively discussing Jeffrey Epstein, his...

Tomorrow In History- August 25, 1698-- Czar Peter The Great Commences Mass Executions And Torture Of The Leaders Of "The Streltsy," The Rogue Army Which Rebelled and Marched On Moscow To Stage A Coup--  Historical Coincidence?  Introduction-- A Reminder Of Why History Matters Yevgeny Prigozhin is 98% missing. The 2% accounted for is the parts of him they will eventually recover. We all heard the news today and likely thought the same thing about the "who" and the "why" of it. That is natural, because of the fear that it could lead to chaos in Russia, which means that the US becomes once again "ground zero" and we need to dust off all of our old instruction pamphlets for how to "duck and cover." (As if crawling under our desks in elementary school was ever going to shelter us from an H-Bomb detonation. I packed all of my junk inside my desk anyway, including my coat just in case) However it should be mentioned that Putin or someone under...

Part 2-- The Putsch  By November 1923, Hitler and his associates had concocted a plot to seize power of the Bavarian state government (and thereby launch a larger revolution against the Weimar Republic) by kidnapping Gustav von Kahr (1862-1934), the state commissioner of Bavaria, and two other conservative politicians. Hitler’s plan involved using Erich Ludendorff (1865-1937), the right-wing World War I general, as a figurehead to lead a march on Berlin to overthrow the Weimar Republic. Hitler’s proposed putsch was inspired by the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), whose march on Rome in October 1922 had been successful in ousting the liberal Italian government. Hitler had initially approached von Kahr to lead the march on Berlin, but when von Kahr began to back away from the plan, Hitler moved ahead without him. Hearing that von Kahr was scheduled to address a large crowd in the Bürgerbräukeller, one of the biggest beer halls in Munich, on November 8, 1923, Hitler took...

  Rut-Roh!....100 Year Old War Criminal Travels To China To Discuss War Avoidance With Chinese Defense Minister-- It is with great alarm that I received the news that somehow, fascist oligarch Henry Kissinger was able to put his putrifying naked face on public display in Beijing, and conducted personal diplomacy with the Chinese Defense Minister Li. The same Li who recently rejected a meeting with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.  The list of crimes against humanity by this decaying relic of "Metternichian" balance of power geopolitics is simply too long to cite here. He apparently arrived in an "unofficial" capacity, but has clearly been enabled as a backchannel between the Biden White House and China for purposes of supposedly reestablishing lines of communication. It is equivalent to having a conference on urban renewal and hiring as the keynote speaker a five times convicted arsonist.  After 45 years of fighting everything he represents, I know him and what he...

 Yet Another Accomplishment Of Ben Franklin-- This is the kind of stuff which when I stumble upon it, I am overjoyed. Literally ecstatic. Don't ask me why. Or actually, yes, please ask. I believe that this is one of the places where history lives, in the political fight for discoveries, inventions, and progress as a whole. This piece in particular is about money. But for Benjamin Franklin, money was a means, never an end.  The US Constitution is explicit that one of the leading responsibilities of our Federal government is to promote "the sciences and useful arts." It's not solely the responsibility of so-called "market forces." This is in Article 1 and section 8, which combines with section 10, the so-called "necessary and proper" clause, that confers vast "implied powers" to the Federal government to fulfill the Founders intent as expressed in the Preamble, to "promote the general welfare."  ["Article I   Section 8  To pr...

 There Are No Republican Moderates Which Amount To Anything Re: 2024 Get. Real! Heather Digby Parton asks a totally relevant question in today's "Salon" article, which is "why are these GOP presidential candidates other than Trump even bothering to run when they have zero chance at winning, and if if one did, Trump would claim they stole the nomination and the GOP voting majority is so brainwashed with the "Big Lie" that they would believe him"? A very pointed question indeed, which she herself answers.  After a fairly concise treatment of all of the political angles of the thing, she concludes in her final paragraph with this, a view with which I mostly concur.  ["I think the thing is that they all just want to be in a position in case he moves beyond the Big Lie and takes the Big Sleep. For all the yammering about Biden's age, after all, Trump's not a young man either. This primary is basically a kind of death watch, hoping that if it sh...

RFK Jr.,  In The Tradition Of His Nazi-loving Grandfather... Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at his public press campaign event this week claimed that the covid virus may have been "ethnically charged," meaning deliberately bio-engineered to target people by race. He claimed that Ashkenazy Jews and Chinese were to be spared by whoever created this race-specific virus. This is unsurprising, since so much of his warped psycho-world belief system is QAnon aligned. https://www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-jr-covid-19-ethnically-targeted-to-spare-jews-and-chinese?ref=home&fbclid=IwAR1Q7xcG9GNg-QSi8MYI9axq1qCdDhXjl2KM86xeTUiZudwkbbeOQD-GI4I QAnon is a resurrected version of the 14th Century Flagellants, a self-mortification blood cult which was spun out of the bowels of the Church and roamed from town to town during the period of Bubonic plague, scourging themselves with nail studded whips until nearly dead. The Flagellants claimed that Jews created the disease as a curse, and that God allowed ...

 Putin Doing Damage Control In Interview Humiliates Himself, Admits He Couldn't Remove Prigozhin As Head Of Wagner- If it weren't for the tragic ongoing loss of life, this story would seem humorous in some respects.  Putin divulged details of his personal meeting with Prigozhin and his commanders in which he admitted in an interview his own current weakness, by describing his own inability to remove Prigozhin as head of Wagner so they might be redeployed into Ukraine.  In the same interview, he asserted that the Wagner Group does not exist, because private military companies are illegal in Russia! Try figuring that one out. The sources quoted in this article claim that this only means Putin is stating his intention to find a way to remove Prigozhin, disband Wagner and free up the former contractors to be sent to Ukraine. It appears that the recent removals of Russian Generals were simply efforts to appease the Wagner commanders and win them away from Prigozhin, their boss...

 Gloves Tell The Story-- No one careful enough to glove up at every stage to beat forensics testing (the only possibility due to total absence of DNA or prints on the bag, other than evidence tampering by the Secret Service) is careless or stupid enough to just leave Coke someplace inside of the most secure residence on Earth which is swept for potentially hazardous materials, devices, and so forth every day, where it will surely be found. If it was a tourist or guest, why would they attempt hide it there of all places? No one accidentally drops a bag of Coke in a hiding place.  Also not likely a tourist, since a person walking around wearing nitrile gloves in the White House (or regular gloves in July?) would stick out like a sore thumb. Or turn up on a security camera?  How do they carry it in their pockets or briefcase without any DNA getting on it? Unless it was a professionally trained Lab worker, normal people's DNA is everywhere in those places.  One might spe...
