The Barnes Brief: Thursday, 3/3/22

1. Pay attention to this: they are using the war as pretext to create precedents they can extend to the rest of the world on a whim, including: summary seizure of property (see boasting of seizing yachts), summary censorship of independent media (see complete banning of RT), and summary removal from financial transactions (see Hillary's comments). https://summit.news/2022/03/03/hillary-clinton-disappointed-crypto-exchanges-arent-banning-russians/

2. A key MAGA writer unraveling 1/6, also unravels the war clique in Ukrainian conflict: "America’s ruling elite is so used to kicking its own impotent population around with no fear of any kind of repercussion that they think they can do the same with a nuclear power. The ruling class is wrong, and its arrogance is courting existential calamity." https://www.revolver.news/2022/03/how-american-elites-stopped-worrying-and-learned-to-love-the-bomb/

3. Glenn Greenwald: "the climate that arises whenever a new war erupts, instantly creating propaganda-driven, dissent-free consensus. There is no propaganda as potent or powerful as war propaganda." https://greenwald.substack.com/p/war-propaganda-about-ukraine-becoming?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=post_embed&utm_medium=web&s=r

4. From a leftist critic of American foreign policy, but he has a point: universalism is essential to both the rule of law and any self-respecting moral code. As it says in the Christian tradition, do not point out the speck in another man's eye until we remove our own much larger beam in our own eye. It reflects the old tradition that we cannot expect of others what we do not demand first of ourselves. https://freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/i-am-asking-for-a-coherent-set-of?s=r

5. Paul Watson's inimitable Modernity series takes a turn to War. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dHBPBNGg5c

Planned Appearances

Art of the Day: Venice wallpaper. The integration of art into your daily living space, much as Frank Lloyd Wright employed with his architecture, provides a continuous, contemporary mental escape and pleasant enveloping environment and aesthetic to work within and under the umbrella of expressive joy, as this art turned wallpaper of my favorite city in the world into your own home. For me, Venice is my Atlantis, and always wondrous to remember within your own home.

Book Recommendation: The New Economics. While a leftist at heart, the insights into the modern monetary system offered by dissident economist Steve Keen warrants further inquiry and introspection for public debt hawks and neo-classical economists.

Wisdom of the Day: “I am so disappointed in The Federalist Society because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations. This is something that cannot be forgiven.” President Donald Trump.

Art of the Day: I love the geometric shapes and colorful display of mosaics, mixing and merging with the colorful windows as the sunlight interacts with the interior space, most often found in near eastern world, but not alone there. The striking pillars to the gothic arches shape the space, but the walled mosaics give it life. The kind of place one could chill in the early evening before sunset and witness the divine expressed in the artistry and craftmanship of the human mind.

Book Recommendation: Jeffrey Sachs: The Strange Case of Dr. Shock & Mr. Aid. Sachs is a Globalist Economic Hit Man. Always has been. The Harvard economist engineered “shock therapy” economics in the 90s, a policy so disastrous in Russia, he had to pretend he didn’t do it. A big champion of globalist institutions, The World Health Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the United Nations, he masks his agenda behind talk of “aid” and “development.” Sachs’ biggest allies are George Soros and Bill Gates. It’s no coincidence he’s America’s leading China apologist, hates Trump, championed global Covid vaccines, open borders, WTO China, whining ceaselessly about climate change, condemns America as a “colonialist, racist, white supremacist” nation, who had an “insurrection” on J6. He's completely incompetent, and a total phony. This book exposes him from the left, along the lines of The Confession of an Economic Hit Man.

Wisdom of the Day: “I thought about the core tools we EHMs used in my day: false economics that included distorted financial analyses, inflated projections, and rigged accounting books; secrecy, deception, threats, bribes, and extortion; false promises that we never intended to honor; and enslavement through debt and fear.” John Perkins, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.

Art of the Day: A lifelong favorite of mine, a gift from my brother when young, reflecting the fearlessness of the working class folks who build those fancy castles in the sky, unafraid and unaffected sitting up miles in the sky just snacking on a little lunch. Their extraordinary achievement, their direct sense of success, and their fearlessness toward the risks of the world always fascinated me as a child, and to this very day, remains one of my favorite American photos.

Book Recommendation: Grapes of Wrath. A seminal text by a legendary American writer.

Wisdom of the Day: “A sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ.” John Steinbeck.
