Cat Show 10/30/20

VG: I am glad that Alice can join our show despite her illness. You still look pretty weak, but I hope you pneumonia did not attack your brain, so it is functioning as quickly as usual. So why don’t you start.

ALICE: Anyone who didn’t get sick during this reign of terror known as Trumpism, has to be truly sick. This guy and his bunch of corrupt Republican Cronies are driving me up the wall. Look at the new Supreme Court Judge, for example. And I am declaring it right here on the show – if I collapse by Tuesday and Trump wins, please, do not resuscitate me. I can’t take it any longer.

HOBBS: Vladimir, it is her mind, which has been sick from the start. Liberals cancel all sort of honest and hard working reporters and thinkers. Look at the latest fiasco with Glenn Greenwald, for example, walking away from his own publication when he realized that his own editors refuse to publish his anti-Biden findings. But why do we tolerate Alice and her genuine, unadulterated madness? I bet you, she caught pneumonia standing in line under the cold rain waiting to cast her early vote for the Not So Sleepy Joe, also known as a Big Guy, among the selected circle of Ukrainian and Chinese businessmen.

VG: Alice can do whatever she wants, including going crazy and paranoid. If the best and the brightest among the US elite do that, why can’t she? But you, Hobbs, is correct to start with Greenwald. His resignation made it explicit what everyone with the eyes to see –saw long time ago. Total Sovietization of the mainstream western press. Remember this old Soviet Joke about Napoleon standing on the top of Lenin Mausoleum observing the parade of the Russian army in the company of Brezhnev and other Soviet Leaders. For some reason he ignores the latest intercontinental missiles and so on. Instead, he can’t take his eyes off the latest issue of Pravda. “What’s the matter? —asks Brezhnev. —Look at this army. With the weapons like that, nobody would have beaten you at Waterloo.” –Who cares about the weapons, — says Napoleon —With the newspapers like Pravda, nobody would have known that Waterloo ever happened.

HOBBS: Exactly. Indeed, the sick conglomerate of journalists, security agencies, and social media moguls decide now what’s a Waterloo and what’s a Nothing Burger. Strange world indeed. And the likes of Alice are convinced that all the Biden scandals are nothing burger. As opposed to the perenial Russian interference.

ALICE: Leave Alice out of it. I am voting my conscience, and so are millions of honest people who can’t stand the orange fascist. That’s the only fact there is at the moment, and that’s the fact shared by everyone who cares about our country and our planet. The rest is the distraction invented by Trumpists who know they are going to lose big. People have spoken. And so did the cats, who can’t stand the ruffians like Trump and his supporters. And you, Hobbs, is nothing but a pathetic sycophant, who just echoes Vladimir’s irrational fear of Honorable and Caring Joe and his enlightened supporters.

VG: Alice, I envy your enthusiasm. I wish you’ve shown the same enthusiasm for food, as you show for Joe. What exactly attracts you to him? That he is a sniffer like you? I remember reading about Chicago Machine of Mayor Daley. That’s exactly what Joe and his subservient press is. And expect to read in this press about all the great breakthroughs that Biden achieved in the fields of virus, and climate, and economy, and morals, and minority rights and everything else that the press invents to appease its own conscience.

HOBBS: Press and conscience? You must be kidding. Even politicians are more honest since once in a while they have to deal with reality, which keeps them somewhat in check. The so called New York editors – the guys who squeezed Greenwald out of his publication – live in the bubble, which they spend all their time maintaining. The dogs –this dirty, smelly, and disgusting creatures --are known to eat their own shit. Even Alice does not do that. But mainstream press does.

VG: Well, enough of fake politicians and their fake press. What do you think of France? Will these attacks ever end? And what about Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh? What will happen there?

ALICE: I hope that after the defeat of the Demagogue, Biden’s team of international experts and diplomats forced to sit in their State Dept. offices during the Trump reign, would finally be releases upon the world in the manner of Victoria Nuland. They would enlighten French as to how to tie the Islamic terrorists to Russian threat (did you hear that the murder of the teacher there was from Russia), and they would help Armenia under the condition that the country chooses freedom and not Russian tyranny. These guys were not wasting their time just sitting in their cushy offices in the State Department or Rand Corporation. They already worked out all these democratic and progressive plans and are ready to implement them as they did in Ukraine during the Obama’s enlightened reign.

HOBBS: French would never do it. They would not tie these terrorists to Russians. In fact, French imagine that anyone with a grudge, a knife, and no interest in learning about French ways – have to be a noble warrior fighting evil Russians, or evil Western Judeo-Christian Civilization, Why else they would let these so called asylum seekers – like the 21 year old Tunisian who killed three people in the Nice church -- into the country without asking any question as to how he became a refugee and ended up in Italian island of Lampedoza, from which he was immediately whisked into France.

VG: Well, I don’t know why Napoleon envied Pravda that much. With Le Monde on the one hand, and Charlie Hebdo on the other, French have it all covered: bourgeois platitudes plus san-culottes cynicism. Pravda is securely hidden between these two covers. In any case, stay save during the coming crazy week, and I hope we’ll be discussing the winner of the US election next Friday. And I don’t what Alice to get upset, so I am not sharing my prediction.
