Federal immigration agents shot and killed a woman on Minneapolis' southside.  Watch the video, it is intense.

I wish I was there.  I would have slashed tires.  I can't believe Trump's fucking assholes stayed in the neighborhood after murdering a woman.


RE has met me in person, he can say if I would have used the folding shipping knife I keep in my pocket or not.  Do I have the stones. 
I think I do.  One hard pull on the sidewall and I'd be doing my part to give these Kristi Noem wankers a bad day.  Better if two tires go flat.

In disgust we watched murder become normalized as Trump blew up fishing boats.  But nobody did anything to stop the madness.  Now Maduro is snatched for no good reason, and at least 40 people are killed in the kidnapping.

Millions of people must feel as I do.  It is my hope that some of the millions are given an opportunity to act and bring down this lawless racist oligarch traveling minstrel show by any means available.

It is clear what road Trump travels.  It is not the high road.  Meet him on the low road.  It is the only way this madness can stop.  Asking nice at this point only shows you have issues.

BREAKING: ICE SHOOTS AND KILL WOMAN in Minneapolis

an ICE agent shot into a woman's vehicle as she was driving away. Agents then pepper sprayed observers .

I have posted a few doomscroll articles.  They are current so there was no need to put them in the forum.  Current stuff bubbles to the top.  This one is older.  It relates directly to what is happening NOW.

Trump, justifying domestic military action, tells Pentagon leaders to 'handle' the 'enemy from within'

The president suggested "dangerous" American cities should be used as Pentagon "training grounds" during a dark and winding 72-minute speech.


Trump told his generals to use American cities as training grounds, and golly gee-whizz it is happening.  As planned.  The pot is stirred.  Local law enforcement is neutered.  Trump shock troops are beyond state and local law.  The dog is wagged. 

The shooter is identified as Jonathan Ross and Johnny, is - was a bomb ready to go off.  A right wing Manchurian candidate.  Johnny has a bone to pick with car drivers.  This is a dog who caught the car once before. 

Ross was previously dragged by a fleeing suspect in the arrest of Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, in Bloomington, Minnesota, in June of last year.  His arm was cut open six months ago.  It needed thirty stitches.

The mother fucker was trigger happy, and Kristi put her chess piece  into play.  Exactly where it would ratchet 🔧 up the Trump tyranny the most.  Tyranny for a reason.

All this is happening so Trump can steal us blind.  Our own destruction is his distraction.  It is a fascination America can't seem to resist, this distraction.  If America lets this stand then America will stand for anything.  Including and in particular troops in the streets.  Trump knows this.  As addled as he is, exploitation is second nature to our chief thief.  It is all he knows.

As he successfully covers this up Trump scares the shit out of everybody.  Mission accomplished.  Epstein what?  I forgot about them too.

Trumpolini is counting on this to escalate enough to justify declaring Martial Law before the 2026 elections.  All he needs is one good gun battle between ICE Gestapo and some immigrants an FBI agent provacateur supplies with automatic weapons, conveniently videoed by bystanders .

RE

Will a sufficient number of Amerikans be outraged enough to get a big enough turnout at these vigils to get their CONgress Critters to show some backbone and actually start to push back against Trumpolini's Gestapo tactics?

How about starting with a petition stating that no one of any party will be voted for if they support ICE raids?  How about demanding that ICE agents are not allowed to carry guns?  They're not arresting people who are in the process of doing violent crimes.  If someone is commiting a crime with a gun, they can call regular cops like everyone else.

At what point does your average J6P GRASP that the "Land of the Free" is being turned into a dictatorial police state?  At what point do they understand that grabbing a peaceful state like Greenland because we have bigger guns is theft and not the least bit democratic?

What Amerikan would go for a vacation anywhere in Europe now?  Even when Amerikan tourists were just loud and obnoxious Euros didn't like them, now we are positively HATED by every other country in the world.

Enough is enough.

J6P fell for peak oil hook/line and sinker decades ago now.....your average J6P isn't required to grasp stuff....they just fall for whatever is going on and then move on to the next cool sounding conspiracy or whatever after interest in the last one fades away. These folks putting themselves, their jobs, families, on the line as compared to complaining online? That takes some chutzpah.

Why did J6P vote for The Orange in the first place? Because they were already unhappy with what they were stuck with.  I imagine it'll have to get worse, and more personal for a bunch more people, before J6P can be counted on for much.

In the end it comes down to who outnumbers who.  Millions of people surely feel as I do.  When things get bad enough, with tens of millions on the same page.  Then some will have the courage to monkey-wrench.  At that point the military stops the revolution by honoring it.

Problem is there could be a million casualties before it happens.  Stalin style.

Originally the law only served the king.  Then something called the enlightenment happened.

Thinkers like John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau argued that legitimate government is based on the consent of the governed. Law, therefore, must express the will and protect the interests of the community, not the whims of a monarch.



Supposedly the constitution which the military is sworn to protect is written on enlightenment principles.

Or will nimrods honor the king ?

And I will go on record that the phrase 'illegal alien' is a relic of the kings law.

Besides being a bold faced lie.  Who gives 'illegal alien'  jobs.  JoeSixPack getting his lawn mowed or his roof fixed does not count.  'Legal capitalists' give 'illegal aliens'  jobs is the actual truth of things.  As humans is is claimed they are illegal.  But isn't it a crazy damn that the illegal humans can grow and process American food that we ALL legally eat.  If it suits the king, up becomes down.

Vice President JD Vance warned the nation of a concerted leftist plot to attack ICE agents, saying there is a network of leftists who plot to obstruct and attack ICE.  This is some serious 1984 shit.

  Dissemination of lies.  Vance is a total P.O.S..  The man will change religions to kiss ass.  He has done so.  The brain of Vance is made of plastic.  Always ready to be molded into whatever shape Satan desires.  Satan pays good and it is easy work.

After shooting Renee Good three times as her car crashed into a parked car Johnathan Ross said 'Fucking Bitch' into his phone.  This video makes what happened crystal clear.  Ross did not being talked down to, and shooting was the response.

There is no defense and anyone who thinks there is denies irrefutable evidence and is an accomplice to the mayhem.  Vance did not even bother to find out what happened before moving his lips.  If you want to claim ignorance, do not move your lips first.

Speaking with reporters on Friday about the killing of Renee Nicole Good by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis earlier this week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the violence exposes a key contrast about the nation she wants to live in and the vision espoused by Vice President JD Vance, who has been outspoken in his demonization of the victim while defending the actions of Ross.

Well....true. But....there is this issue. At some point in time, as the Diner began to notice that..no one else was noicing things like peak oil...it began to get politically oriented. And as that trnsition was made....folks pretty much...disappeared.

Politics, while interesting, doesn't appear to have the kick of no fuel for soccer moms, no food because trucks can't run, people can't get to work, the American draft starting up.....Matt Savinar an ignorant fool made it the floor of Congress that topic was so...HOT! Across the aisle even! He was famous!



Pitching socialism....seems to have like....3 or 4 of us left paying attention to it. Even with Trumpinsky pimping fascism as hard as he can.

What's that tell you about the relative popularity of politics versus peak oil? Of course....peak oil didn't go quite as planned so people are now mostly worried about the egg on face problem....so they keep quiet and hide.

Those of us who knew better all along don't have to do that obviously.

Personally, I think our low readership numbers have little to do with politics and much more to do with the fact Forums have gone out of style, in favor of the short attention span text of Social Media and no text at all video.  We're also more difficult to find nowadays as Google's search engine prioritizes for pay websites that pay a fee for placement.  In fact the whole newz oriented web has become almost entirely subscription paywall, most of the time I  see only headlines and what I can read briefly before the link flips to a subscription sign up offer.

Anyhow, regardless of readership numbers or interest, the Diner mission remains the same, which is to track and record the progress of the collapse of industrial civilization.  The fact is that collapse has now moved into a heavily politically driven phase as the world realigns itself to operate in the new reality of resource scarcity and the consequential resource wars.  The battlegrounds in Ukraine, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, Taiwan et al are all quite clear and mapped out, along with the domestic advancement of the Police State, deportations and blaatant racism.  It would be just plain dumb to be hashing over Peak Oil when the rest of this shit is quite obviously the more clear and present danger.

If you wanna discuss Peak Oil, I suggest finding another website concerned with that.  Here now, the rampant spread of fascist imperialism is the topic of greatest concern.  Peak Oil is yesterday's newz.
