Didn’t you get the feeling this weekend that we’re living in HG Wells’ classic tale of the earth invaded by sinister alien spacecrafts? Our government is playing the story like a bassoon concerto. “American officials do not know what the objects were, much less their purpose or who sent them,” The New York Times reported, poaching a line from every horror movie of the 1950s. When do the giant ants show up on Fremont Street in Las Vegas?
Looks like they’ll keep up the suspense as long as possible, too. Oh, we can’t retrieve that thing up in Alaska due to white-out weather conditions… Oh, that other thing — the eight-sided silver tic-tac — it fell into Lake Huron, glug glug… and that first one, the big balloon payload, lies deep in Davy Jones’ Locker now. You’ll have to stand by, folks….
Let’s face it, all the other mindfucks set in motion by the folks-in-charge are not just losing their mojo — they’re generating a lot of nasty blow-back in the way of widespread distrust of authority and institutional collapse. Even Woked-up Democrat voters begin to suspect that the vaxxes they greeted like a holy deliverance might not be so good for you after all. I’m waiting for Rob Reiner’s head to explode when he starts to notice how many young SAG-AFTRA members are waking up dead in West Hollywood.
More to the point, you are now correct to suspect that the entire Covid-19 episode, from the design of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus to the gene-modification shots put out by Pfizer and Moderna (erroneously labeled “vaccines”), was a joint Intel-DOD operation, not really a public health crisis. The abiding mystery is… why? Why turn Western Civilization upside down and inside out and then try to pound the whole thing down a rat-hole?
Frankly, the only angle that makes sense is that our government is captive to a hostile force. The WEF, the WHO, and the UN are the most obvious culprits, certainly the most talked-up, the most active on-the-scene. But until a few years ago these organizations had no real influence on the world. They were bad jokes… only pretending to protect the global community’s interests… actually completely incapable, utterly incompetent. Klaus Schwab, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus? Please! What Muppet factory were they made in? The UN was a mere collective of Third World hustles and rackets. And everybody knew it, but the developed world played along as a sop to these sad-sack nations and their greedy officials because the grift was chump-change.
You’d have more reason to suspect that those outfits were fronting for something else, and that something might be the CCP. The Marxist culture war against American manners and values is unmistakably a re-play of China’s cultural revolution, with all its insults against reason, tradition, custom, common sense, and due process of law. The titanic wave of Woke lunacy was hatched in the universities over many decades — places easily infiltrated by malign agents — and seeded into political activism on the Left, especially among the Democratic Party — which now has a figurehead president implicated in bribery and treason.
How and why else has the evidence of those crimes been so sedulously suppressed when it should have been served up to a grand jury post-haste in 2019, as soon as Hunter Biden’s laptop surfaced? The darn thing was absolutely stuffed with a rich documentary record of crime from the lowest (drugs and whores), to the highest (payoffs from foreign actors). The extraordinary lengths that the DOJ and FBI traced to hide it, or pretend to not look inside it, is one of the most transparently degenerate acts ever seen in US history — and continues to this day.
And now, all of it unwinds rapidly, all the organized deception and lying. You could argue, perhaps, that US government agencies, this aggregation of interests we call the Deep State, just went plumb insane from guilt, fear, and shame over its own long-running, rampant criminality, but even that fails to answer how come, for instance, the CDC is still pushing booster shots of a toxic bio-engineered cocktail that maims and kills people. Are they aiming to reduce the US population on-purpose — at the same time that the DHS is ushering millions from other countries across the border illegally? Is the Deep State working China’s will against us and the rest of the West? Did we collaborate with our adversaries in our own collapse?
All the usual totemic tropes the Deep State employs to intimidate its opponents — Russia, white supremacy, right-wing extremism, racism, misogyny, transphobia, blah blah — have lost their power to scare the non-insane. Fewer Americans believe the official bullshit about keeping America “safe” from “misinformation.” It’s perfectly obvious now that “misinformation” is a synonym for “the truth.” So, what have they got left? A UFO invasion? Is that what it’s come to? I guess so.
Forces are aligning now to shake this creaking system down to its foundation. The moment of criticality will most likely come when the financial markets crater and the US dollar gets broken by international ridicule to a near-worthless token of decrepitude. The public can apparently take an awful lot of gaslighting, double-dealing, and derogation. But that all changes when you can’t buy food anymore. The Superbowl is over. Here we are now, in the heart of the heart of winter, waiting for the ground to shift. Reality is out there howling against a cold moon, fixing to run our enemy down, like so much frightened prey. Before long, you’ll see blood on the snow.

The people of the world are under a total assault upon their very existence, and the American public is the weakest link, at least as far as I can see. Jim’s podcast with Stephan Sander-Faes supports that theory substantially.
From Trump Derangement Syndrome through Plandemic, failed wars for profit and regime change, financial/economic/societal collapse and WWIII, how much more can people take before they beg for death jabs and overdoses? And are we now not entering the disclosure phase of Alien Invasion or introduction into the lie that humans are the spawn of alien life forms from way back? Time will tell and I don’t think it is going to be pretty. I cannot see any sellout career criminals in suits rushing to the rescue, but perhaps my experiences in the belly of the beast have tainted me.
So, on this 78th anniversary of the British, (our allies), fire-bombing Dresden and the instant incineration of 135,000 German civilians, let us remind ourselves that we are so fucking special that everything we do is “legal ” and okeydokey. Including nuking hundreds of thousands of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Japanese loved and respected us for that, right? Damn we are full of it.
JHK said, “The titanic wave of Woke lunacy was hatched in the universities over many decades — places easily infiltrated by malign agents — and seeded into political activism on the Left, especially among the Democratic Party”
Amen! I have been saying for years that a SkyNet Commie plot from the 1940s and 1950s was never turned off when the Cold War ended. The plot was to sabotage the educational system, to demoralize and destroy the country. The program just kept running, like the old Salt Mill in the oceans.
See Bezmenov for the details!
Re “You’d have more reason to suspect that those outfits were fronting for something else, and that something might be the CCP.

I have always cringed at those laying events in the USA at the foot of the CCP.
But at this point I really do have to wonder—I mean, if one applies the “looks/walks/quacks” rule, it sure does start looking like the CCP is in the mix!
At the beginning of the madness, in spring 2020, it sure did look like TPTB were salivating at the effective control mechanisms of the CCP and wanted to naturalize them in the West.
I also wonder whether we in the USA are becoming as savvy at reading official “tea leaves” to figure out the reality behind the “Wizard of Oz” green curtain as were the citizens of the USSR (I have no idea of this concerning the Chinese people).
Such as their poring over the subtleties of official photos of the Politburo lineup released after meetings, to try to figure which direction the next power play, or ministry reshuffling, or putsch was coming from! Or parsing the use of particular words in particular contexts to divine what is actually implied and what new policy might be in the wings.
Jesse Kelly, who I believe has some kind of conservative radio show or podcast, is to me the one who gets it best. He just says he’s fighting communism.
“we’re fighting communism”: This is exactly the type of statement that makes me cringe.
They don’t even have “communism” in China these days.
There have always been “friends of the Party” who were allowed to do better, under communism.
Kelly’s point and I agree with him is that it’s a waste of time to fight all these manifestations of the bigger thing that is going on, as if they were discrete happenings (my words not his) and to not call this out for what it is, because we can’t attach a specific label to it.
It’s all part of a worldwide attempt to crush Western civilization and install a totalitarian system of some kind.
“Fighting communism” will do nicely.
Islander: You’re wondering and then cringing. Your mind is out of control.
You know the Truth: It’s the Bankers. They’re the apex of the Capitalism/Communism system. Hold onto what you know. Control the lower mind. Don’t let the lower minds of others make it waver from your North Star.
“Kelly’s point and I agree with him is that it’s a waste of time to fight all these manifestations of the bigger thing that is going on, as if they were discrete happenings (my words not his) and to not call this out for what it is, because we can’t attach a specific label to it.”
A catchall label doesn’t help if it is the wrong label. That is why I cringe.
If you are looking for a catchall label, a better one IMO is globalism.
IMO globalism is totalitarian, but that doesn’t equate it to communism.
Merriam-Webster, “communism”:
” a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
b : a theory advocating elimination of private property”
Number 2 is to enable number 1. That is not what we are currently seeing. I think we are actually seeing the next iteration of capitalism.
Merriam-Webster, “communism”:
” a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
b : a theory advocating elimination of private property”
Islander, if I understand correctly, you are well aware of the agenda “You will own nothing. And you’ll be happy!” that satisfies a, but you see no evidence or promotion of b?
Have a look at the 10 year chart of the MERVAL, and ask yourself: What percent of the population could afford to own their property after 2022? Is a “theory” necessary?
“Have a look at the 10 year chart of the MERVAL …”
… make that the USDARS (Argentinean Peso) since 2018 (although they both highlight the issue).
TPTB:
Re ““You will own nothing. And you’ll be happy!” that satisfies a, but you see no evidence or promotion of b”
That does not at all align with communism as defined by M-W.
Communism as defined does not foresee that you will own nothing.
Communism calls for the distribution of all among the people according to need.
The WEF plan is you will have nothing.
Only the WEF members and their families and hangers-on get to keep most of everything and enjoy life on Earth.
That is not communism
.
Even if one views the WEF gang as an international nomenklatura, they are far worse than the Soviet (or Chinese) version because the latter didn’t take everything.
The WEF does NOT foresee the distribution and sharing of all goods. The WEF plan is to keep most for themselves and the people will own nothing, have no fun, and eat bugs and be totally controlled. This is not communism.
The reason I said that the CCP seems to be “in the mix” is that I see ideas emanating from China being appropriated by Western/WEF globalist elites in order to achieve their evil totalitarian ends. That doesn’t mean that the CCP or Chinese operatives are actually running the Western/WEF show.
I kind of like the concept of the WEFers being seen as an international nomenklatura.
Can this term bring them into disprepute??
Is anyone listening to me???? (:-))
“Communism calls for the distribution of all among the people according to need. ”
“Whatever you want, you’ll rent. And it will be delivered by drone.”
**
“Only the WEF members and their families and hangers-on get to keep most of everything and enjoy life on Earth.”
Where can I find this information?
Thus do words get in the way of her understanding.
Obviously Communism is opposed to human nature and will never be willingly accepted by the vast majority of people. And obviously the Global Elite have no intention of adopting it for themselves, but for us? Yes, of course.
As an economic system that is. They will “sweeten” the pot with a new universal religion to bolster it. Because left to itself, being so utterly alien to human nature, it invariably changes to something else: Monarchy in the case of North Korea. National Socialism in China. And Fascism in Russia.
But since it is not the Communism of Marx, Islander can always say it has nothing to do with Communism. Never mind that Communism itself changed itself to become more effective, a la Adorno, Gramsci, etc. The true believers can always prate that it hasn’t failed because it hasn’t been tried yet.

Jarek: Communism for us but not for them. According to Matthew Johnson, when Trotsky (Lev Bronstein) was assassinated in Mexico it turned out that he had huge sums of money in two locations, NY* and (I think) Geneva, enough to make him a billionaire by today’s measures. And, Johnson asks, why should we not assume that all of the Bolshevik leadership were not like him?
I cannot remember the name of the Bolshevik leader in the early 1920s, again according to Johnson, whose wife had her bag searched when they were travelling abroad, and it was found to be stuffed with diamonds and jewellery.
Antony Sutton showed that the USSR was bankrolled by Wall Street and its whole infrastructure was not only funded, but actually built, by western corporations like GE.
Johnson argues that, whereas criticism of the Soviet Union from the West was muted, where it existed at all, now that there is no longer a Communist regime in Russia the hatred is without restraint.
I am sure you know all this.

I want to see the play book. Only WEF members? How about millionaires? How much does it cost to become a WEF member? How about Lori Lightfoot staff? How will this all shape up and shake out? Inquiring minds want to know.
Communism? We’re really going to go down that blind alley again? Communism is a project of Capitalism. We know who funded the revolutions – the guys at Davos, the bankers. And yes, we know what they want: To reduce the world population to 500 million.
Mystery mongering is simply weakness and failure at this point.
As Schwab said, it took a long time to get the stake holders on board. The UN was just a bunch of grifters until then. Now it is a real weapon.
“but actually built, by western corporations like GE.”
I think Ford had truck factories in the USSR in the thirties (and maybe forties).
Alas the ladies of both sexes are still holding out for “real communism”.
I believe it is a CCP operation. Gates and Schwab are both heavily invested in China. James probably is unaware that Klaus’s claim to fame is the economic integration of China into Western society. He helped drive investment and technology transfers starting in the late 70s. It is why Xi Jinping personally hung the Chinese reform friendship medal on his neck in the great hall in 2018. The purpose of the ESG operation is to help China snatch up all the cheap energy dense resources. If you research energy use trends at ourworldindata.org you will find that energy use is stagnant or going down in the USA and across Europe. China’s eergy use has skyrocketed to twice that of the USA. CO2 emissions are down in the West but skyrocketing in China. This is driven by coal use. China has been buying up the world’s coal on the cheap. Even from the USA and europe. It is the dirty secret nobody talks about. Schwab and Gates don’t even mention China is the cause of most emissions. They just insist the West cut more!
So, the decline of America is the result of a plot by the Communist Party of China? I rather imagine we have done it to ourselves out of greed and fear with their being no doubt that the Chinese have helped themselves along with many others.
Yes, why fight an adversary when you can simply purchase their leadership and have them do your bidding?
Who put the Chinese in power? Who betrayed Chiang Kai Shek in favor of Mao?
This is a tangent. A secondary cause. A distraction and an excuse to do nothing. The belly of the Beast in New York, London, Washington, and Tel Aviv.
Piles of money wanting to be bigger piles of money.
This is a tangent. A secondary cause. A distraction and an excuse to do nothing. The belly of the Beast in New York, London, Washington, and Tel Aviv.
BINGO!
and Rome
Hmmmm…sounds Karmic…
tow: I don’t disagree. Scripture is clear: The Beast will have two seats, Jerusalem and Rome. The rebuilt Temple and St Peters.
Yeah what he said but no what the other said (about Rome).Rome?!
And it ain’t China from what I can see. My main reason for sayi9ng this is the creation of a wholly fact-free fantasy in the 1989 Tianianmen Square massacre. it was the students who wanted blood, not the authorities. The question is, how were their young minds corrupted and by whom?
The usual suspects, Sean, including George Soros and Gene Sharp.
”Indeed, as I have written elsewhere, there is rather strong circumstantial evidence that suggests that the CIA and US State Department played a key role in trying to goad on the student protestors at Tiananmen Square; much like the CIA did in Hungary in 1956, in order to provoke a government bloodbath of repression. Around the same time as Tiananmen protests in April-June 1989, the Chinese government banned a Chinese NGO of US operator George Soros, the Fund for the Reform and Opening of China, after interrogating its Chinese director in August 1989 and claiming that the Soros China fund had links to the CIA. The Soros Fund according to Chinese reports had been supported by ousted Communist Party chief Zhao Ziyang.
Significantly in addition to the Soros Fund, Gene Sharp of the Cambridge Massachusetts Albert Einstein Institution, whose handbooks on “non-violence as a method of warfare” have been the “how-to” textbook for every color revolution to date, was in Beijing days before the Tiananmen events. Then-US Ambassador Lilley himself was a career CIA officer who, like then-President George H.W. Bush, had been in the secretive Yale Skull & Bones society, and who was with Bush at the CIA. The circumstantial evidence points to an attempted US destabilization of China designed to coincide with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989, with Lilley the likely on-the-ground coordinator.
When the PLA failed to fill Beijing with the blood of “thousands” of student democracy martyrs, Washington could simply go with fabrication of a fantasy or virtual massacre and, because of its overwhelming control of mainstream media; most of the world could believe the Washington version.”

The secret speech given by Chinese Defense Minister Chi Haotian to high-level Communist Party Cadres sometime before his retirement in 2003.
A few excerpts with link to follow:
“The fact is, our “development” refers to the great revitalization of the Chinese nation, which, of course, is not limited to the land we have now but also includes the whole world.”
“The reason that the United States remains today is that it has never seen war on its mainland. Once its enemies aim at the mainland, these enemies would reach Washington before its congress finishes debating and authorizes the president to declare war. But for us, we don’t waste time on these trivial things.”
“What is the third issue we should clinch firmly in order to accomplish our historical mission of national renaissance? It is to hold firmly onto the big “issue of America. This appears to be shocking, but the logic is actually very simple.”
“Only by using special means to “clean up” America will we be able to lead the Chinese people there. This is the only choice left for us. This is not a matter of whether we are willing to do it or not. What kind of special means is there available for us to “clean up America?”
“Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves.”
“Biological weapons are unprecedented in their ruthlessness, but if the Americans do not die then the Chinese have to die. If the Chinese people are strapped to the present land, a total societal collapse is bound to take place.”
“This yellow land has reached the limit of its capacity. One day, who knows how soon it will come, the great collapse will occur any time and more than half the population will have to go.”
“We must prepare ourselves for two scenarios. If our biological weapons succeed in the surprise attack, the Chinese people will be able to keep their losses at a minimum in the fight against the United States. If, however, the attack fails and triggers a nuclear retaliation from the United States, China would perhaps suffer a catastrophe in which more than half of its population would perish.”
“The population, even if more than half dies, can be reproduced. But if the Party falls, everything is gone, and forever gone.”
“If it has to be five or ten years before some breakthrough can be achieved in genetic weapons, we cannot afford to wait any longer.”
“It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century in which the CCP leads the world. We, as revolutionary humanitarians, do not want deaths. But if history confronts us with a choice between deaths of Chinese and those of Americans, we’d have to pick the latter, as, for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of the Chinese people and the life of our Party.”

jrnyquist.blog/2019/09/11/the-secret-speech-of-general-chi-haotian/
Holy crap ViceGrip the general didn’t pull any punches, did he? Leading the Chinese out of China into new lands of plenty via improvements to what the Nazi’s tried is more than a little bit terrifying.
“Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves”, wow!
Not only right in your face, but already been implemented. Conspiracy theory my ass, conspiracy fact and a damned smart one too, even though it is pretty fucking evil. Only the truly stupid will fall for it so I guess we are screwed.
That sounds like an American invented speech to me, just like Jarek’s supposed Stalin piece.
There are millions of Chinese in the USA. Using a biological weapon on the US would therefore kill off millions of Chinese as well, not to mention spread it in China when the Chinese in America visit their families.
Why would they do that when they can just buy the real estate, which they have been doing? The Chinese own farmland, apartment buildings, ports, Smithfield and other valuable items in the US already.
Why would they want the rest of the US anyway? Russia is bigger and has more resources and it’s right next door. If they were really looking for more land without people they would kill off the Russians and more over.
It just doesn’t make sense. The US has antiquated infrastructure and very little industry. Even if the Chinese did kill off all Americans, the crumbling houses, boarded-up warehouses, etc. would be worthless to them.
So, no, I don’t believe that someone managed to get a Top Secret Speech in which a Chinese bureaucrat laid out a plan to wipe out Americans and takeover the mainland.
I don’t think it was a top-secret speech Paula, the US just does not report on such things. If you recall, there were and still are a number of US generals that are screaming for a First Strike offensive on China and Russia, the question is whether they have the power to pull it off or not. No, there are definitely those in militaries that want to attack, attack, attack, and there always will be. The generals don’t do the fighting, remember?
As far as releasing a bioweapon, a lot of think they already have.
And as far as taking Russia’s resources or ours Paula, Russia would fight, and resources would be lost. Ours can and have already been bought and paid for and our leadership sold out. Clearly, we are the easy mark.
Well, they are buying resources from Russia also.
They definitely are a mercantile-oriented people.
So, my point was that the speech made no sense. If they wanted to take land, instead of buying land, they way they do now, it would make more sense to take the land next door than land thousands of miles away.
But I don’t believe they are planning to do either. The speech came out of the fevered brain of some American, imo.
And the bioweapon labs should ALL be shut down, no matter where they are.
There was no necessity for rebuttal pertaining to this material, as it is not my work product, nor something I had today felt compelled to scurry across the internet to “dig up”.
I had already been made aware of this material some years ago.
After having this morning seen Mr. Kunsler’s topic for today with regard to the CCP, I thought it was — as good a time as any — to introduce this material to those who had not yet been made aware of it’s existence.
For those not aware of J. R. Nyquist, I proffer the following from his site:
“J.R. Nyquist has written for Newsmax, WorldNetDaily, SierraTimes, Financial Sense and Epoch Times. He is author of the books, ‘Origins of the Fourth World War’, ‘The New Tactics of Global War, and ‘The Fool and His Enemy’.”
“But if history confronts us with a choice between deaths of Chinese and those of Americans, we’d have to pick the latter, as, for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of the Chinese people ”
Well, you have to admit that it makes sense.
Maybe we can just give them California.
Paula D. . .
You had stated, “There are millions of Chinese in the USA. Using a biological weapon on the US would therefore kill off millions of Chinese as well, not to mention spread it in China when the Chinese in America visit their families.”
Within this speech, Chinese Defense Minister Chi Haotian goes into great detail pertaining specifically to the issue of Chinese and their relatives currently living and working within the United States, and what would be done with them, and why.
Additionally, the entire matter of nearby Russian resources and their utilization-of, or lack thereof by the CCP is discussed at length.
It would appear that, given your comments, you might have only glanced at the several excerpts I had shared, *without* reading the actual speech — if any.
The arguments you set forth are entirely ill-founded and not in any way related to the material provided.
I would be highly interested in your thoughts thereafter, however.
It is only prudent that the West should take this at face value.
OK, Vice, I skimmed the whole speech, even though the first paragraph made me roll my eyes. This is not how the Chinese speak.
”Comrades,
I’m very excited today, because the large-scale online survey sina.com that was done for us showed that our next generation is quite promising and our party’s cause will be carried on. In answering the question, “Will you shoot at women, children and prisoners of war,” more than 80 percent of the respondents answered in the affirmative, exceeding by far our expectations.”
Seriously? A party leader announces that he is “excited” (can you picture Xi using that term?) about a poll that shows 80% of Chinese people would kill children? That is absurd.
And then for some reason, after talking about “us” he slips into the third person for China. WTF?
”’Ostensibly, in comparison, today’s China is alarmingly similar to Germany back then. Both of them regard themselves as the most superior races; both of them have a history of being exploited by foreign powers and are therefore vindictive; both of them have the tradition of worshipping their own authorities; both of them feel that they have seriously insufficient living space; both of them raise high the two banners of nationalism and socialism and label themselves as “national socialism”; both of them worship “one state, one party, one leader, and one doctrine.”
Both of them? He is supposedly talking about his own country.
Why would a Chinese leader spend so much time comparing China to Nazi Germany? And why would he do it in the third person?
And why would he talk about “secret plans” so openly? If they have a secret plan to take over the world why give a speech about it to the Central Committee?
I am not convinced by the speech that China wants to take over American land. Again, Russia is right next door and has far more land.
The speech said nothing about that.
It was not convincing at all. What Chinese leader would use movies to make an historical point? And then to not even know the correct title of the movie? Seriously?
And no Chinese leader would use the acronym CCP. The correct acronym is CPC. Only Americans use CCP.
I think it is an American concoction, straight from a fevered paranoid brain, someone who doesn’t know Chinese history except for what they have seen in the movies, and doesn’t understand how Chinese speeches are written, and doesn’t even know the correct name for the Communist Party of China.
Here is a link to an actual China/Russia statement, put out last year at the beginning of the Olympics.
This is how leaders actually talk. Note that they do not refer to any movies to make their points.

Paula. . .
With all due respect.
Nyquist is the preeminent source for anything having to do with China, Russia and particularly the CCP.
He has incredible personal contacts — including Stanislav Lunev, a former Soviet military officer, the highest-ranking GRU officer to defect from Russia to the United States.
Nowhere have I mistated or misrepresented this material and it’s source.
You are the only one to have referred to it as being “Top Secret”, pertaining to the title. Even Walter B corrected you on that.
Argueing about the syntax utilized by a Chinese Foreign Minister who retired sometime before 2003?
Examples of how he *should* sound from a Russian website?
I think it is damn important that the CFN folks be made aware of this material and have an opportunity to evaluate it, if they so choose, without your ongoing attempts to erroneusly discredit it.
It is certainly not “off-topic”.
I have no skin in the game.
Hell, I spent over 2 decades attemping to extinguish my ego.
I did.
This is my last word on the matter.
You described it as secret. You asked me to read it and give you my thoughts.
So I did. I can’t help it if you disagree with my skepticism.
Go ahead and believe whatever you want, but don’t expect me to believe that a top Chinese official would call the party the CCP.
That is absurd.
Somebody needs a hug.
Maybe a bearhug.
(As an Air Force brat I recognize that this is the way that soldiers like to talk – particularly to cowardly civilians.)
In practice, if you look at history, a modern military organization tends to be remarkably more discreet and careful about potentially suicidal ventures than dumb-ass corrupt politicians (or other purported experts).
Soldiers, especially those who have seen combat, knows what it is to hurt.
Hitler complained bitterly about what he perceived as the timidity and excess caution of his military staff. At one point he even praised Stalin for having shot so many generals, saying he should do the same.
In the case of the Chinese, a notoriously-patient people, neither the Party nor the PLA is ready for a Götterdämmerung.
The average Chinese citizen, not that far removed from the official insanity of the late 1950s and early 1960s, is doubly-loathe to contemplate giving up the good life they have worked so hard to put in place.
I base the above in part on personal experience in the PRC in 2017, along with decades of study of that culture. I may be full of sugar and spice and everything nice but I don’t think so.

The Japanese were amazed at how well we ended up treating them. See the old videos of Japanese women jumping off cliffs before the invasion of Okinawa. They certainly didn’t the peoples they conquered very well. And we certainly didn’t treat the Germans very well.
Please tell us Jarek, how did the Americans mistreated occupied Germany?
I know how the occupying Germans treated occupied Greece and Serbia. For every German occupied killed, the Germans executed 50 to 100 Greeks or Serbs.
The Germans attacked Yugoslavia, not vice versa.
Their Italian allies attacked Greece, not vice versa.
Yet these countries were occupied by the Germans.
Sometimes the Germans executed entire villages.
Maybe you know something I don’t. Did the US Army have a 50:1 ratio in occupied Germany? Did they burn towns after May 1945?
No, they did not. And for members of the Nazi party who had “skills” got a pass, and had their slate washed clean.
Am I mistaken?
The Americans are abusing Germans now, yes.. ECONOMICALLY. With the full support of the German government.
Even so, there is a big difference between having your electric/gas bill doubled or triple, and being artibrarily summon, put against a wall, and shot.
Tell us about American abuses of occupied Germany.
The German population was starved at after both wars. And after WW2, Eisenhower murdered hundreds of thousands of German POW’s. He got around the Geneva Convention by calling them something else. He left them in camps that were just barbed wire enclosures without shelters. They died of exposure.
Meanwhile the Russians and Slavs raped and murdered millions of Germans, both in Germany and on Trail of Tears as the Volga Germans fled. All in all, more Germans died after the outbreak of peace than during the war.
Millions of other German POW’s died in Siberia or in French work camps.
You asked. I answered Now you know. Now marvel at how you were lied to.
There are said to be old news reels showing American troops offering starving German children food and snatching it away. Meanwhile starving German women sold themselves for a candy bar. Sometimes they weren’t paid. This is in addition to the mass rapes the American, French, and British troops engaged in.
And all of the forgoing is small with what the Devils wanted to do. Google the Kaufman and Morgenthau Plans to genocide the German people.
Still, when you compare the fate of most conquered nations, the Yanks treated the Germans fairly well.
All they had to do in return was hate themselves for the next four generations.
PS
And never say anything about the Dresden fire bombing, the Hamburg fire-bombing, the other fire-bombing, the expulsions.
Yes, the Germans were allowed to survive in return for accepting that they deserved all of the terrible things they endured because of the catastrophe of the Third Reich.
Your comment stated “we” didn’t treat the Germans all that well. I presume you meant the US. Or are you a Russian?
All this happened, and the Germans themselves have been quiet about it?
History is written about by the victors.
My understanding is the biggest trail of European post-war refugees was Germans being expelled from, or fleeing, what had been the eastern part of Germany (Konigsberg, Silesia, East Prussia).
“There are said to be newsreels..” Anybody can say anything.
You are correct about post-armistice WW1, when the blockade against Germany continued for about a year after November 11, 1918.
However, life was tough in post war Europe because it was in ruins, not necessarily because the Americans deliberately starved Germans.
And, if in fact, the Americans were so cruel to the Germans as you say, well, the Germans had a lot of sins to pay for, didn’t they?
Many of us know about the Morgenthau plan, and we all know, that is not what happened. No, the US propped up the Germans to enlist them in the Cold War.
Many of us know the Soviets did rape and kill Germans.
And many more know of the horrors of the Germans inflicted on occupied Eastern Europe.
What goes around comes around. Many people here, including myself, believe the bombing of Dresden was criminal. At the same, many of us believe the German occupation of Eastern Europe was more criminal, and bombing Dresden didn’t undo the damage. Now, if as you say, Americans coldly killed German soldiers, well, it wasn’t the tooth fairy that executed tens of thousands of Greek, and other, civilians,or led the starvation of many more. If what you say is true, perhaps the Americans asked them what they did during the war and then sentenced them.
I seriously doubt it. Many Nazis got a pass, as Americans realized they needed their skills to accelerate the rebuilding of Germany to be the front line facing the Communist bloc, and for the same reason, the Americans were inclined to help the Germans, including the uniformed war criminals who occupied Eastern Europe.
Your overexaggerated comments and affection for the Austrian mutant mean that if you make some valid point, a lot of people will either not take it seriously or presume the opposite is true.
it is inexcusable that even in this day and age the question of the treatment of german pows and civilians just after ww2 is still open.
james bacque’s work has withstood many attempts at refutation – his evidence and accompanying footnotes from sources such as KGB files opened after the soviet fall closely corroborate his work in question.
if you don’t have time to read the books, at least read some of the comments – sure, individual testimony is not “data”, but when first hand accounts and fact after fact comport, it is worth considering.
it is clear that we american do not want to think about ourselves this way, but it was not all of us. my own uncles, my father’s brother, spent 5 years in occupied germany as an officer, and saw for himself. the morganthau plan was not implemented in total, but its also clear that much of what actually happened was inspired by it.
and the irony is that hitler and the national socialists were financed by international banking, among those being the union bank of new york, led in that effort by prescott bush, father and grandfather of american presidents.
all wars are banker wars, and on this, jarek is spot on – regardless of his clumsy, offputting way of saying so.

We didn’t treat the Germans very well? WTF is your last name, Eichmann?
We showered them with endless dollars and helped them rebuild their country, all while slapping them ever so lightly on the wrist for trying to exterminate half of humanity.
They got the best deal in history. A saner world would have dismantled Germany in to smaller pieces and even banned the use of German as a language. They deserved complete annihilation.
Calm down, folks. It’s only Jarek. To him, the Nazis were just a lovable bunch of hobbits.
What’s my last name? I think your last name would be far more revealing, eh?
‘Straw man X’?
Germany Must Perish, 1941, by Theodore Kaufman. The Morgenthau Plan version 1: they retreated from that. The second version is now be carried out, administered by the USA and supported by the German leadership, and has included so far the destruction of the Russian gas pipeline. Starve and freeze Germany to death.
That’s pretty much how I see it.
Except I look further back, to the origins of the Great War.
I look back to Babylon, 500 BC, where one faction of the Jews swore vengeance against the entire world. That’s where all this began.
Or was it even earlier – in Sumer? The Rothschilds claim to be descendants of Nimrod.
As the Egyptian High Priest told Herodotus, you Greeks only remember one deluge. We remember many.
Ok not nice to intentionally target civilians but Dresden was Churchill’s revenge for Germany bombing English cities in both WWI AND WWII. There were just as many, if not more, Japanese civilians killed in the fire bombings of their cities which would have had to continue if the A bombs were not dropped which would have led to more deaths than those at Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.
If we had to invade Japan our losses would have been horrendous not to mention how many Japanese would have died fighting the invasion which they were planning to do. Read “Thank God For The Atom Bomb” for more details. Like it or not, the Japanese ways of war dating back to the 1930s evince a bit of Schadenfreude for me.
Jackstraw, that is precisely what several prominent Americans in the FDR administration wanted after the war. An agrarian, defanged Germany.
I actually think the US reconstruction of Germany and Japan was a good (albeit self-serving) thing.
As for Churchill, given all the misery the British Empire cause the world, all the problems the Brits poured gasoline on, I’m sorry to say, but one injustice of WW2 was that the Germans were unable to inflict the same devastation on British cities that the British and Americans did to the Germans. No offense meant to the English in this space.
Of course, the British people were not responsible for exacerbating the problems in Palestine, India, and Cyprus, to name just three.
But that is the way of the world–the masses pay for their leaders.
I was opposed to the Iraq war. That said, eventually the US “got Saddam”. But millions of Iraqis became displaced, hundreds of thousands died, and the Christian community there was decimated.
All because Bush junior wanted a war.
So, if there is a God, and I believe there is, there has gotta some payback for Iraq…and a whole lot more. It’s gonna be a big bill. Plan accordingly.
And as some one (several actually in various CFN comments) here notes today is “big money”, London, NY, the elite who pull the strings. They’ve been running Western civilization for about 1000 years now… their time is running out, they will get more brazen and desperate. That’s the root cause for British bad behavior, and big money, like the Rothschilds, played European monarchs before Britain’s rise as in “conquer this to pay me that interest plus. No, you say?” then they would bankroll the opponent king to beat the first debtor and make him another debtor.
In reality, there were actually some military rationales for bombing Dresden. It did have industrial war production and was an important transport and logistic crossroads for the Wehrmacht facing the Russians. What was far more criminal and inexcusable was the bombing by the Brits in particular of militarily irrelevant towns like Pforzheim and Heilbronn whose only crime was to have a railway running through them. At that point in the war, it was pointless attacking them and the only result was a large number of civilian dead.
In early 1945 they knew the war was almost over and that the USSR would be getting Dresden as part of the agreed-upon decision.
So they burned it down and killed hundreds of thousands of civilians.
There was no military reason.
“In reality, there were actually some military rationales for bombing Dresden.”
No. There was no excuse for the Talib Winston Churchill to destroy the most beautiful Baroque and Rococo city in Europe,
And its civilian population, crammed as the city was with refugees from the East fleeing the advancing Red Army.
The fire bombing was sadistic.
.
PaulaD and Islander are spot-on.
I’ve lost zero sleep over the bombing of Dresden. What’s the distinction between that and Stalingrad? Method? Splitting hairs.
Ann Frank’s father fled with the Nazis to avoid the Russian Army – which was killing anything that moved unless it was female, in which case they raped it.

@jmar98
it is clear and was clear in the waning days of the pacific war that to the japanese it was over by june.
VE day was in the rearview, and the japanese could see the russians pivot to the east – their concern was getting the best terms, and by any means possible, to avoid surrendering to the soviets. by may, japan’s ambassador to moscow, Naotake Sato, sensed stalin’s neutrality by tready, could not be relied on. Sato did not know on may 9 that stalin and the soviets had agree to enter the war against japan within 3 month of VE.
so the aging summer of 1945 in japan saw the japanese military leadership dancing around the question of terms, occupied as it was by its need to maintain its image of itself.
on june 22, okinawa fell, and the writing was clearly on the wall. on july 7, emperor hirohito suggested that prime minister suzuki send prince fumimaro konoe, former pm, to moscow to seek terms from america and britian, with soviets as intermediaries.
the disagreements among american military leadership regarding terms or unconditional surrender cost another month, while progress on the a-bomb reached culmination.
there is still discussion on whether an invasion would have been necessary. my uncle, after fighting his way across the pacific as a marine with a 1911 and a flashlight, always said the bomb saved him from being in an invasion, because that was the finality of the narrative after the fact.
even with unconditional surrender, the japanese kept their emperor – which ironically might have been possible if a meeting of the minds and the willingness would have achieved this result before hiroshima and nagasaki.
i’ve kept, and will keep, this july 31 1995 issue of “the new yorker” with the article that details all of this. i never got around to sharing it with unc to see whether it would change his mind. as a marine, i doubt it.
but i honestly believe the bombs did not prevent the need for an invasion – japan was done by mid july.
Well said. Timely reminder for Dresden. Very wrong. And our American privilege is running out by the day.
The globalists had been content to “slowly” heat the pot with the frog (the American public). However, since Trump, they have accelerated–subverting a lot of what was left of the US legal system, the COVID plandemic lockdowns and untested (aka toxic) mRNA shots, the Ukraine situation, and the US/Western reaction to the “war” of THEIR making, which has vasty accelerated the impending financial/economic decline and squeeze on the public, concurrently with the other costly fiasco of “saving the planet”.
Do we add the Japanese and the Germans to the reparation brigade..??
While your pessism is plausible, your panacea is lacking…Was there one?
That said, America THINKS it’s special. If the world watched the halftime show of the Super Bowl Woke Masturbatory conglomeration of crotch rubbing, mentally deficient colored freaks, it was all the proof anyone needs. The Chi-coms were laughing so hard it relegated Kackling Kamala to 2nd place on the world wide Guffaw Freak club list.
But it had to be done.
Can the western media quit using the word genocide every time they talk about the war in Ukraine? A genocide is what happened to the Jews of Europe between 1933 and 1945 or the native Africans who lived under the homicidal reign of Belgian king Leopold II between 1885 and 1908. The war in Ukraine is more of a bloody gang war like the civil war that accompanied the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. Coming from old Slavic stock, I am fully aware of the irrational hatred, deep-seated xenophobia and fanaticism that drive conflict in this region. The ultra-nationalists in Kiev and Moscow are no different from their brethren in Warsaw, Belgrade and Zagreb. Vladimir Putin, for all of his faults, is at least trying to restore some order to the eastern Ukraine and kick out the meddling NATO forces, who are doing the work of Russia’s neighbors who don’t care if NATO’S actions bring about World War Three. They’re only interested in revenge and carving up what’s left of Ukraine among themselves while dismembering Russia in the process.
I haven’t seen western media talking about genocide in Ukraine.
I agree with you that the word is not appropriate for the civil war in Ukraine.
I would also disagree about the Congo. They didn’t try to wipe out the natives, they just worked them to death.
A more appropriate example would be the natives of America. There was an explicit attempt to kill them all, and after the bloody wars of the 19th century, when the settlers spread from 13 original colonies perched on the east coast to covering the entire middle of the continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, there were only 250,000 remaining Indians in the country.
Now THAT is a genocide!
But now the winners rewrite the history. After a century of bragging about the Indian Wars, and making movies about it, and proclaiming “The only good Indian is a dead Indian”, it suddenly became politically incorrect to brag, so they simply changed the narrative to “No Indians were harmed in the making of this country, they all died from smallpox.”
They added “and measles” much later, as vaccine hesitancy spread among parents.
Only Jarek remains true to the fighting spirit of the cavalry as they massacred their way across Our Country.
You’ll never see Jarek weaselly claiming “It wasn’t us, it was that virus”. No siree.
Bravo, Paula. Compare the deaths here to the deaths it took to create the Soviet Union. Chicken feed!
All nations are created by force (and other things) and maintained (at least partly) by force.
If you will learn at least that, you will have made your Professor (me) very happy.
Snow, what snow?
Well said, WalterB. Well said.
Thank you, sad as that was. Every damn day the sellout media posts another in-your-face, young person dies suddenly, with no explanation of why, although clearly it is now acceptable and “normal”. More like NORML.
Today’s first “winner” was this poor schmuck:

Hey Hollywood, how’s those jabs working out for you? But not enough people care and sooner or later Bill “bioweapon” Gates will be rolling out another series of extermination protocols that people will fight each other to get first. Personally, I think that a lot of folks out there are begging for someone or something to put them out of their misery. It’s almost understandable.
Walter: Well posited. I live near a geriatric community in the outhouse (Brokenback} of rural Ontario n ur observations do not resonate here to these retired boomers wearing bloomers on their faces even today (after 100 young Ca meds died from so called sudden deaths in 2021/22) – and chiding the local medical authorities (LOL) units for more vaxx accessibility. Kanadistan is more screwed (jabbed) then their lowly neighbor aka. D-usa.
“An Enemy of the People”

Thanks for the suggestion Bill. Will check it out 🙂
In the years before WW1, the Russian Social Revolutionaries had a slogan “the worse, the better”. By this they meant that the worse things get, the better chance they had of implementing their radical program of social change. Could our ruling class have the same agenda? Drive society bat-$h!t crazy then present one of their own as a saviour on a white horse.
Yes, Raymond, and that is the motto of our current day Bolsheviks. People like Soros are psychopaths whose only wish is to see the world burn before they die.
Ah, the “War of the Worlds” catastrophe. My mom growing up in Nazi Munich had the pleasure of attending mandatory Hitler speeches. School would be excused and students everywhere went to see and hear Hitler instead of their routine classroom teachers. More than once she witnessed Hitler joking about the US being so stupid and fearful that you could easily scare them with a story about men from mars invading. Why fear any country that cowardly? And Hitler was also suggesting if the Germans were invaded by real Martians, the German martial spirit would have kicked in instantly and they would have been kicking martian ass everywhere, not cowering in fear next to their radios like the Americans.
Actually, I am in total agreement with the Great Leader.
The American GI in WWII was a tough fighting man and every one of them deserves the thanks of the rest of the world for what they did. However, it was the Russian army that did the bulk of the work in bringing Herr Hitler to a well-deserved end of life experience.
That is true but the Russian Army couldn’t have done it without all the huge supplies of military equipment given to them coming from the USA by way of North Atlantic convoys.
Please. Please. The Russians certainly were instrumental. But we fought in two other fronts to weaken the Germans and facilitate the Russians ability to turn against a remnant of the German military. And there was enormous military and economics assistance to Russia from us. The Russians lost not a single life on the western front, in Italy/Mediterranean front and Northern Africa.
russians lost 20 million in the war, the us lost 500k+
it was usa’s productive capacity and logistics that won the war, to take nothing away from our veterans.
this is why the usa’s military industrial complex, hand in hand with international banking, has come to throw the world so far out of balance.
Turns out he was wrong about their martial spirit. Look at them studiously ignoring the fact that their occupier blew up their pipelines.
Paula,
As I noted up-thread, the “deal you can’t refuse” that was offered to the Germans was:
We treat you OK, and in return you hate yourselves for the next four generations (maybe more) and accept with bowed head that you as a German born anytime between 1945 and today deserve whatever befalls you and everything that happened to Germans because of the catastrophe of the Third Reich.
Oh, and we get to occupy your country, and do everything we say.
said deal offered with a very big, bloody, still swinging stick.
Well said, Paula. The Germans have been utterly broken. And Dil approves of that.
Real nations are created by force and held together by force or the threat of it. When are people going to awaken out of the revisionist nightmare of “Nice”?
There are still germans outside of GerMANY.
Yep, and I am one of them.
Mulling over what my duty actually is.
No one is Nicer than you, Messi. No one more deluded on this question. One expects it from women of course.
The Germans are lucky we didn’t incinerate the entire country after they incinerated millions. And Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved countless soldiers lives as well as providing a real life example of nuclear destruction that has so far held off any military use in the world. Also, our deep state black projects have unlocked many secrets of interplanetary travel. At least 90% of UFO sightings are of our own secret craft and if the government says there is an alien invasion it’s their last attempt at a false flag to control the public that has broken free of their previous narratives. But then again, there is a small group of circle jerks here that only believe the “ members” of the peanut gallery.
Bullshit. We are cursed, now, for our act of murdering 8 millions of our racial kin during WWII.
It was the Nazi’s that did the incineration NOT the German public, though they did sit by and do nothing to stop it. You know, like we are doing with our corrupt government. Perhaps you would like to be incinerated because of the death and destruction that our political leaders brought to the Middle East? Naw, I didn’t think so. Killing civilians to save soldiers makes a lot of sense. Just not to me.
Troll.
@Walter B, I think we sometimes get into a mode of thinking where we speculate based on the subconscious idea that there is a good or even tolerable solution to every problem. One thing that growing older has taught me is that we face many situations that have no good solution, or even one that’s bearable. We get to choose, often, between a list of awful possibilities, none of which anyone would want.
It’s difficult to face the fact that doing nothing implicates us in the actions of our corrupt government, and attempting to do something about it can result in what has happened to the participants at the Capital on Jan 6 – some of whom are now being pursued for having been on a bus, on their way there. These kinds of “choices” tend to paralyze most people, and I can’t really blame them. No one wants to choose a course that’s morally repellent and for which they’ll have to answer, at the very least to their own conscience,
though they did sit by and do nothing to stop it. You know, like we are doing with our corrupt government. Exactly, all of my so called friends and most of my family are blindly supporting the psychopaths in DC and some still think voting matters. I’m done. Just like the country. I’ll do the best I can and take as many assholes out with me when I go.
Sorry docmartin, but I respectfully disagree with most of what you’ve written. And that’s not to say I’m always right either. Wiping out Hiroshima and Nagasaki was just crude mass murder, nothing else. Japan was on the way to surrender at the time, they were already finished. I would need to see much more than anecdotal evidence that we are doing any interplanetary travel, secret or not.
That being said, Wernher V Braun in his senior years made the claim many times that space weaponry was a very bad idea. He also predicted that at a future time there would be phony terrorist attacks, followed by phony “alien invasions” orchestrated and carried out by the military industrial complex. A repeat of the “War of the Worlds” production, but this time accompanied by high tech manufactured visual and sound effects.
And when the MIC heard that prediction they said, “Hey, that’s a good idea. Let’s put that one into the playbook”!
Looks like game time.
See Project Blue Beam
Thank you. Very interesting.
Yes, thanks for the tip. As soon as I saw Wikipedia’s description as a “conspiracy theory” as its lead sentence, I knew I was over a big target and needed to pursue it
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Christian cities. the Big Bomb dropped over a church.
Free masonry banned in Japan, then not now.
“Wiping out Hiroshima and Nagasaki was just crude mass murder, nothing else. Japan was on the way to surrender at the time, they were already finished.:
Chuck…Allow me to…”respectfully disagree”
In Hirohito’s own words;
“Moreover, the enemy has begun to employ a new and most cruel bomb, the power of which to do damage is, indeed, incalculable, taking the toll of many innocent lives. Should we continue to fight, not only would it result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization.”
One might consider the above quote a metaphor, and that the Japanese were simply running out of toilet paper, but one would be wrong.
US military estimated that the Invasion of the Home Islands could result in one million US casualties. To think that the Japanese were ready to surrender dismisses Bushido as an ethic.
My father was, when the bombs were dropped, being DEROUSED to retrain for the invasion of Japan…
I am appalled at your lack of depth on this subject.
Yeah and if we had invaded Russia from Siberia, we could have wiped out Communism and Capitalism. With what joy we could have met our German brothers in Moscow, with feasting and song!
Our Japanese allies, Aryans (Nobility) of another race, would have allowed their islands to be used as a staging point.
But instead we did something different, eh? How do you like it now? Still think we made the right choice? Or do you admit Lindbergh was right?
“How do you like it now? Still think we made the right choice? Or do you admit Lindbergh was right?
Jarek,
Why this comment? You know we are in general agreement on many topics?
…If wishes and buts were candy and nuts….
Merry Christmas.
Why would there have been any need for an invasion costing a million lives? Japan is a relatively small island nation compared to some of the others. If they’d refused to surrender, an all out naval blockade by the US would have completely cut Japan off from the rest of the world and they’d have gone medieval before long and ready to accept surrender. All that we would have needed to do is just sit out there and stop traffic, and if any ordinance continued coming our way, respond with naval and aircraft fire. Japan at that time didn’t have much of a functioning military left.
As I understand it, Japan was forced into modernity by Admiral Perry.
They were already medieval until forced at gunpoint to modernize by the US, against their will.
As we are seeing very clearly today, an well-worn fact of military life is that if you develop a weapons system, it is going to be used at some point or other. The A Bomb was no different. The likes of maniacs like Curtis Le May were dying to see what it could do.
Yes, like what the Allies did to Germany before both wars. Google “Judea declares War on Germany”. This was years before the formal outbreak of hostilities. Strangely it’s left out official histories. I wonder who controls publishing? Any ideas?
A lot of folks here today, and elsewhere, contend the bomb saved tens of thousands, or more, US casualties in an invasion of Japan.
I have a friend, who feels the same–his father was part of the invasion force.
My view is different. WHY did the US have to invade Japan?
A blockade would have the same effect, but it would not be immediate.
Why did the US insist on unconditional surrender, from both Germany and Japan?
I think Oliver Stone is onto something, when his (excellent) documentary contends the A-bomb was targeted at Stalin..
“…see Joe, we don’t need 200 B-29s in one night like we did in Dresden or Hamburg, we just need one now. Don’t get any ideas…”
In any case, the prevailing view in my circles is that the “A-bomb saved lives.”
I don’t agree, but it will be a useful argument if/when the Russians deploy WMD to defend their country against the US led attack, to try to neuter the hotheads in the US.
@ Socrates-Detroit:
I think you make a very good point when you ask, “WHY did the US have to invade Japan?”
I am not much of a historian, so I have no idea whether Japan was on the point of surrender at the time that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed, nor with how the conflict with Japan was faring in the Pacific. My question would be whether Japan continued to be a threat to the US at that point in time.
My perspective is that we should never have been involved in WWII at all, and thus at war with neither Japan, nor Germany, nor Italy. Many people have observed that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was provoked by the US and that our government knew of the attack in advance.
While it would be an exaggeration to call Pearl Harbor a false flag event, it was, for all practical purposes, a US government op intended to get us into WWII–as a declaration of war against Japan ensured that Germany and Italy would declare war on the US.
Viewed from this perspective, the bombing of Pearl Harbor being both provoked and permitted by Washington, this was an act of treason on the part of our “leaders” against our own nation. They were accessories in the murder of over 2,000 of our own people at Pearl Harbor and the subsequent deaths of our servicemen in WWII.
Hence, since we never should have been at war with Japan in the first place, it seems to me like there was no need to continue to pursue the war if we had reached a point in the struggle at which Japan had ceased to be a threat to the US–or a point at which such an outcome could be negotiated.
The Japanese still had sizeable forces in Manchukuo (Korea), China, and other areas of the Asian Continent. Rather than blockade, and starve the entire Japanese Population, war planners opted for surrender.
Germany surrendered to the USSR in May, 1945.
The USSR moved troops to the east and was going to invade Japan in August.
Japan did not want that, so they surrendered.
As so many people have pointed out, the atomic bombs did a lot of destruction, but so did the fire bombings the US had been inflicting on Japan. Tokyo alone had 16 square miles of city and 100000+ people burned. And the US had waged other fire bombing campaigns, in other cities, on top of that.
It was the prospect of the Soviet invasion that prompted Japan to surrender, not Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Agree
My father was on Guam, waiting to invade Japan.
When they dropped the first bomb and told him it saved his life he accepted that as true.
When then when they dropped the second one 3 days later, he thought “Why did they do that? They already made their point.”
My father was not an Establishment propaganda swallowing type, unlike most Americans. He was able to think for himself, even when sitting on an island in Guam in wartime.
He explained to me later that the bombs were dropped to intimidate the world, especially the USSR, and that Japan was ready to surrender before they were dropped.
Your Father was a wise man. Those who actually take up arms and do the dirty work are the only opinions that matter. The armchair cowards who prefer to let others do the killing and dying for them don’t deserve to be defended in the first place.
Mandatory military service will never happen here but should.
Warren Delano, FDR’s grandfather, made a fortune in the opium trade. He was the primary agent for Russell & Co.
Later, “During the U.S. Civil War, Delano shipped opium to the Medical Bureau of the U.S. War Department.[8].”
So, he was an international pusher of opium. The opium was grown and processed in India, where the production was under the control of the so-called Baghdadi Jews, including David Sassoon, who had settled in Calcutta and Bengal. They decamped mostly to Britain (“Postwar the imperial system and open borders that had made the transnational Baghdadi world possible disappeared. “).
httpX://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdadi_Jews
So, it wasn’t just the English.
Bostonians and Jews also made fortunes on the opium that destroyed the Chinese social order from within.

100%. Although I would have done most anything to stay out of the military it became part of my history. One of the valuable lessons learned is you’re not the hot shot you thought you were. There are too many ‘kids’ in this country that need that lesson along with finding out that they are really not that special.
Paula,
Read Truman’s biographies.
A certain element of that overkill was likely payback for Pearl Harbor.
I’m all for overkill. The idea that a response should be equally measured is a loser’s mentality. War is hell, and any nation who starts one should do so with the understanding that all hell will be brought down on them should they lose.
Jackstraw, remember that when things go south. The US started the war in the Ukraine.
If that is true Jack, and I won’t argue that it is not, we are seriously fucked.
Btw, they are still angry about that and say that someday they will pay us back.
Look at the revenge the Chinese have had over the opium war. But that was the English! Well, we’re the ones they can get to. And actually it was Indian Jews (the Sassoons of the British East India Company). And since America is run by commericial Jews, well it’s a closer fit than it seems at first.
What was the name of the Admiral’s wife who spoke out of school, not only about the drugs and perverted sex orgies but much else?
She said, First a fake virus, then a fake comet, then a fake alien invasion.
Kaye Driggs?
Or was that army?
The Kay Griggs Interviews
“Synopsis
Pastor Rick Strawcutter interviews Katharine Pollard Griggs, the wife of Marine Corps Colonel George Griggs, about the history of the U.S. military and the power elite.”
Among other things, she says that elite military units get self selected into black op units, by doing off the books kills of their own renegade actors. Lotsa juicy stuff.
She is disappeared.
The Morganthau plan after the end of WWII was to completely remove Germany’s industrial capacity for manufacturing military weapons. That means the physical destruction/removal of all German manufacturing plants capable of making weapons. This plan never materialized, instead Germany was weakened by new propaganda and garbage taught in their compulsory schools. I’m fiercely opposed to compulsory education, and since Germany was the source of this particular disease, I’m not all that sorry about all their suffering.
A Morganthau type plan might be necessary regarding the US. We are currently the greatest threat to peace, safety, and life in general on the planet. If we do provoke a world war and we lose, for the project of civilized living to continue, the BRICS nations need to invade us and destroy completely all of our weapons making industries, and the country broken up in such a way that no central government will ever be formed here again to start any more world wars. The Washington DC area would need to have all its residents removed and the city reduced to rubble and sowed with salt. Sorta like what Rome did to Carthage. Russia being an officially Christian nation, maybe this could be done in a relatively humane way.
Never materialized? A Congressman of German descent when after the Conspirators on the floor of the House, accusing them of planning for genocide.
Eisenhower backed off and said, Henry, we have to give them something. Morgenthau was embittered, his name being blackened by the scandal. But not too much since the media went quiet on it. How many know today?
Patton was going to spill the beans too, but never made it back. A dying Jedburgh admitted to his assassination. It’s clear Patton knew who the real enemy was, but he had to follow the orders of his spiritual inferiors.
Jarek, you have some good point, some time, but I hate to rain on your parade.
Who exactly was Patton serving in WW2? Do you know?
Who did Eisenhower serve?
Ultimately, the same people you decry–big capital, Wall St.
And BTW, globalist Eisenhower is looking at better to me NOW than when I was young and saw him as a tool of the globalists.
He was a tool. His epistle anent the Military Industrial Complex at the end of his career was just a bit of repentance. Enough? For the murder of hundreds of thousands of German POW’s? Are you insane? He deserves to burn in hell for hundreds of thousands of years.
Jarek, they were all tools of the establishment. Patton was a tool too.
One could argue that it was an illegitimate war, because Germany did not attack the US. Also, given the Britain subjugated so many people of color, and given the N-a-z-i track record, and Stalin’s track record, the “American” thing to do would be to do nothing and let the three evil empires bludgeon each other to death.
But, thanks to people like Patton, Eisenhower, LeMay, Bradley, and the others like them, and the legions of officers below them, the Americans were able to get involved and help lay the post-war foundation for a new world order that was more amenable to big money. Don’t you agree with that, JAREK? Because THAT makes a certain amount of sense to me.
Your hero started the war in Europe. He was not content with just taking the Polish corridor, where the Germans had a point, from the arrogant Polish dictator.
No, your hero wanted a LOT of Poland. He wanted “Lebensraum”–that’s “living space”.
And that wasn’t enough. How did invading Yugoslavia, Greece, and then USSR help your hero get out from under the big bankers? Is that where the “money interests” were coming from?
Perhaps you should look at it this way–if the Americans and Eisenhower were so evil, than it was a given that they should have liquidated all German POWs, in fact any German male who took up arms in WW2 should have been liquidated. And the Morgenthau plan should have been implemented.
By that standard, the Americans were exceedingly generous.
Is there a book to read about all of this? Where did you learn about it?
“The Conquerors” by court historian, Michael Beschloss. This may be the same guy who asked why Republicans didn’t clap the other day. Despite his Stalinist proclivities and his Tribal sympathies, he tells the truth about what they wanted to do to the Germans.
Absolutely. As horrific as it was, the use of those bombs illustrated to the world how insane it would be to wage war with them, and most likely tempering the leaders of nuclear nations.
Those that oppose the use of them on Japan know little of the horror that the Japanese dealt our soldiers and particularly the Chinese citizens. They also don’t seem to comprehend what an invasion would have cost us.
I’ve heard that before. Yes, it’s true, the Japanese were cruel to the Chinese.
But why was that America’s problem? Because the US of A was so perfect? Please.
The Americans and other western nations, with special privileges in China, were more humane. But they also exploited the Chinese.
Why did FDR embargo the Japanese, and drive them to attack? Because popular opinion in 1940-41 was HIGHLY against getting into the war in Europe, to help America’s supposed “British allies”.
Britain had enslaved half, or more, of the people of color in the world.
FDR caused the war. FDR got the war he wanted.
Just like now, the US caused the war–it started it in 2014–in Ukraine. The US got the war it wanted. It wants that war because the West is deluded enough to think that Russia will implode like Iraq or Libya, the West can get the Russian resources and squeeze China.
It won’t happen that way. The Russian people are motivated, and Russia has a professional military, with nuclear weapons, and the means to deliver them ANYWHERE.
The Ukraine war won’t end well for most of us in this space, other than those who are in a position to leverage the coming economic chaos and strife in the US to their advantage.
The only good thing, TODAY, about the US nuking the Japanese in 1945, is that when we push Russia to use nukes tomorrow, hopefully Americans like you will “get it” and put the brakes on the US government; and the rest of the world may say, “bad Russia, but we understand, after all the Americans used them first”.
This Ukraine war also serves to distract the US public, and to “explain” why their standard of living is dropping–and must drop.
“To support freedom in the Ukraine!”
I presume 95% or more of those commenting, in this space, are intelligent enough not to buy this BS. But many of your fellow Americans, and even Europeans, DO buy it.
It’s really a win/win for the elite–as the MODERN American public gets poorer, unlike Americans in 1935, 1940, 50, even 1970, the bulk of Americans today are too ignorant or self-absorbed to do anything about it, or to make the warmongering position of the US government untenable politically to both major parties.
You’re all over the place. You can’t admit that the same people who torment us now were given the heave ho by Herr Hitler.
Patton knew in his heart but was too small to quit. He was going to speak out on behalf of German civilians however.
The new War is a new chance for you to understand: Putin is the new Hitler. Zelensky is Churchill. We’re the Communists.
I’m not all over the place.
If the Austrian mutant was the cure to the power of big money, the cure was worse than the disease.
In addition to the millions of deaths your hero is directly responsible for, the effort to defeat him left big money/the elite/the globalists/whatever you want to call them, in a much stronger position in 1945 than they were in 1938. They got a UN out of it, a Bretton Woods agreement, and a Cold War, where having helped the USSR get on its feet, big money now had an “adversary” that could be used to make the USA keep a big military and become more indebted, making the money interests and their friends in other industries, even more powerful.
Putin in NOT the new Hitler.
More like George Washington of post-communist Russia. Communism. A deviate WESTERN philosophy planted in Russia by desperate Germans in 1917 (understandable–they wanted Russia out of the WW1) and nurtured by Western industrialists and bankers.
If anything, sadly, it is more accurate to say the USA is the new 3rd Reich, and Russia is the arsenal of freedom.
Russia is the only major country not subservient to the dollar-denominated system.
China is working or replacing it, but even China is, today, Feb 13, tied into the dollar system.
No, I am not “all over the map”. The world is complicated, and I see it as it is, and my comments reflect that.
I saw a great documentary on Boer Training Camps. The older gent said, They younger guys finally get it. They realize that there can never be any peace with the Blacks. A lot of them got confused by Mandela and all the beautiful words for awhile, but the slaughter of Whites never stopped and has only increased.
You’re like the young guys. You still think there was a peaceful way out of it – even though their avowed intent was to destroy Germany even before the rise of Hitler. If not by one way than another. Churchill give it all away in his memoirs: Germany refused the New Order and was insisting on real national sovereignty.
To his credit, he wasn’t consistent and he was sickened when the ship loads of Jamaicans began to unload, with England being treated as one of the losers – which it was. He tried to do something about it but was shouldered aside. The old fool had served his purpose.
But at least he had a heart somewhere in that decaying bulk. His fine mind had missed the realization that the same condition to be imposed on Germany was to be imposed on the Commonwealth as well.
Russia is now the good guy, as Germany was before. America is still the bad guy along with the rest of the Allies and the Tribe who rules them.
Justifying Russia’s use of nukes because we used them first is like justifying genghis khan’s conquests because Alexander the Great used horses and swords first.
@ Socrates-Detroit:
I agree completely. WWII was a conflict between the nations of Europe and was none of our concern. Nor were the doings of Japan any our concern. Nations go to war against other nations all the time–more or less continually. Our people and resources should not be sacrificed every time there is a conflict between the Tutsi and the Hutu, or some other conflict, somewhere or other.
I’m not sayin’ it was aliens.
………………but it was aliens.
That quote really needs an accompanying headshot of Giorgio Tsoukalos.
Remember part of Mao’s 100 year plan is to conquer America & Europe without firing a shot. The plan is working. We are destroying ourselves.
Who won the Super Bowl? Honestly, I don’t care. I didn’t watch the game because I knew both the White and Black trash performing wouldn’t add to the good of the Country. I don’t need some fool grabbing their crotch entertaining me. As for the players, most probably don’t know how many stars are on our flag.
While the fools in the Country pigged out on beer and wings last night, the best of our government was playing hide and seek.
Maybe some our worthless population should take note of the BIG Game that’s going on in Washington D.C. The Liar-in-Chief and his minions and handlers are making fools of us. Wake up folks!
These so-called leaders are jeopardizing our National Security. I hope the near-do-wells in this Country realize that things in this Country can change rapidly.
As my neighbor says, buy more ammo and canned soup and be prepared for months of darkness.!
You missed the Black National Anthem.
You’d better stand for that tune, Son, if you know what’s good for you.
What do you think, BRH, does playing two national anthems indicate this country is no longer one.
You better believe it.
We are at the point of Ghandi’s India of the Balkans in the 90s. The ethical or spiritual separation of this country has been blessed by the NFL, one of the few remaining unifiers. Not a good sign.
The irony here is that Blacks have more in common with the European side of America, American Blacks are despised in Africa, and the remaining minorities are more aligned with BRICS than America. America’s Black zealots are a really stupid bunch, they have no friends but Whites.
Will the Black idiocy in the country split it up, could be, especially when there are so many White gimmes that are behind Wokeism.
For me, the increasing amounts of Chinese crossing both the North and south borders and Canada too, is a much greater concern than the Blacks. Look at the NBA, are they going to play the Chinese, then the Black, then the Star Spangled Banner.
China is going to take over North America by just sending over its excess population. It is already dominant in Mexico, working with the Cartels, who run the country. The west coast is rapidly becoming Little China. Demographics are shifting everywhere.
John AZ,
You really should read Sterling Seagrave’s
Lords of the Rim.
Huchison Whampoa Limited, a Chinese multinational, Fortune 500 conglomerate, Chinese firm, took control of the Panama Canal in 1997.
They manage the ports of Balboa and Cristobal on both sides of the isthmus and the concession for Margarita Island, Panama’s largest Atlantic port.
They also have sole contol of the multiple bridges spanning the Canal.
They are a leading port investor, developer and operator, with a strong presence in five of the world’s 10 busiest container ports. Their interests comprise 319 berths in 52 ports in 26 countries.
This ocurred 26 years ago — do the math.
I’d think twice about the canned soup.
Both Campbell’s and Progresso are rather vile these days.
I’ll say. A lot of old familiar canned foods are not what people remember.
I buy canned vegetables. They are nothing like home-canned, but I don’t think the quality has deteriorated much, if at all. But many canned prepared foods, like soup and ravioli, are so awful as to be inedible. Campbell’s chicken noodle soup is one of the worst. A few years ago when I was sick and didn’t feel like cooking, I bought that and some canned ravioli. The sauce didn’t seem to have any tomatoes in it, just red food coloring, I suppose. And they have added a touch of cayenne, to give the impression that it has any flavor at all.
If you want to include canned soup in your preps, your only real option is to cook up a big pot of soup and can it yourself.
Although I Cook a mean chicken soup I have no idea why you would say campbell’s CNS is awful nor have I noticed a shred of difference in it since I first had it 60 years ago.
I had purchased several 10-ct cases of Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup about 10 years ago.
As a prepper since the mid 90’s, I had also FIFO’d that inventory over the years, using the C of M as a crockpot meal base, wih elbow maccaroni usually.
Having recently nearly depleted that inventory, I recently restocked [2 is 1, and 1 is none] that same exact product.
I gave some of that new stock a whirl. Same list of ingredients. Same calorie count per serving. Same published dilution procedure. . .
Wow!.. Crap!.
Nothing like the original.
Now. . . .Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup is nowhere to be found!
Uncondensed version still out there, but at a price per can that is simply not feasable to me.
Agree. Although a component of a good larder, one should not rely exclusively on canned goods for food stores
IMHO, freeze-dried food, although expensive, is the best option for storage.
Daddyotis-
I have about 3 or 4 months of freeze-dried product.
I do wonder about the viability of that in a SHTF scenario.
Best have hundreds of gal of potable water for cooking only, along with filtration equipment for any other water you may end up being forced to use. . . if. ..
Agreed! Couldn’t sleep at night nowadys, without several hundred pounds (each) of white rice (brown doesn’t store well), pinto beans, black beans, GP flour, pasta, 50 gal cooking oil, etc, etc.
@ ViceGrip:
I think it’s good that you mention cooking oil, as this may slip people’s minds. Walmart sells lard in buckets, which I think are 4 pounds each and should keep indefinitely if unopened. I think it’s best to go with lard, coconut oil, olive oil, and maybe beef tallow. You want the old, traditional fats, rather than the highly processed seed oils. Butter can be turned into ghee, which will keep a long time at room temperature (though not forever), but my experience with making ghee is that the amount of ghee you get from a pound of butter is a little disappointing. I think this is because store-bought butter often has quite a high water content.
I agree but as far as it goes, my understanding of best canned food for long terms preps, is the old style cans with the flat tops on the top and bottom, that require a can opener, as opposed to the newer ones that have a rounded lid.
At this juncture Suburban Elk, I would use any canned food you can lay your hands on — to hell with the tops.
Have several [5+] manual can openers.. . the more the better. .. great barter item, no matter what.
I’ve been buying long shelf life food of late. It’s freeze dried, so it’s not as easy to eat as canned goods. You have to have water and the ability to heat it in order to have an edible meal.
I also can food myself.
But whenever I cheat on my “diet” and have something from my childhood (quarter pounder, little Debbie’s, pizza rolls), it’s never as good as I remember it.
Cheat? That is my diet.
I had the Super Bowl on but it lost my attention when the damned coin toss took 20 minutes. They had to walk out this black guy or that black girl and point out this or that accomplishment. The all girl fly over was especially heart warming, glad to see that girls can fly planes too. They have an honorary coin, an honorary team captain and captains who stand 15 feet away from the actual coin toss and an honorary coin flipper in addition to the actual team captains (why teams need 4 players to toss a coin will never make sense to me). They had an aged Doug Williams mosey out and hoist the Lombardi trophy pointing out that the man was black and then pointing out that Hurts and Mahommes are both “African American” even though Mahommes has lighter toned skin than that of my own. Hey, did you know that this was the first SuperBowl where a white guy wasn’t the QB for either team? For a sports league that wants to end racism the NFL can’t do nothing but emphasize race, race and more race.
By the time the coin toss was over I couldn’t take it anymore and wandered off to do more effective things.
I caught the end of the game and watched the refs cement Kansas City’s win with what should have been a no-call holding penalty.
The NFL has become such an utter woke joke. I just couldn’t sit and watch it anymore.
I watched the 2019 (I think it was 2019…) Super Bowl with my woke, commie, frenemies. The game started with a delay-of-game penalty. I knew then that future Super Bowls would be decided in court – probably the Supreme Court. I’m sure the fans won’t mind, as long as their team wins.
Black History Month talks about recent achievements of individual blacks.
The whole point was to include black people in the history books. It’s been done.
Nobody is going to care about how many copies of Thriller were sold, a hundred years from now.
Yeah, no. They operate as a people as do those who are raised them up. If Whites can’t rise to that level, they we’re toast.
Now admit it, You don’t know what I’m talking about, right?
Neither do you.
Is it still only a month, Beryl? I thought it was Black History Decade. Seperated by Transgender Achievements Week for a bit of respite.
The real problem is they got the short end of the stick again as February is the shortest month.
I heard a black man actually complain about that.
My response was what month is German/English/Dutch month you know white guy month.
His frothing response was every other month.
Blacks used to rage that the Championship winning Boston Celtics chose White players on purpose – being perhaps the Whitest team in the league. You know what? They were probably right given that the fans are overwhelmingly White.
Never mind that the NBA was already around 95% Black. They want it all!
They aren’t a reasonable people. This isn’t going to end well.
For the first time since I was a small kid, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. Well, other than a minute here and there with the sound down.
I love it that it apparently ended on a controversial referee call.
Did Philadelphia burn down last night? I haven’t checked.
I did watch the halftime show on YouTube with the sound down. I just wanted to see the overt satanic symbolism this year.
All I got to say, is that if an alien race watched that halftime show, they would’ve said, “Wow! this is a bizarre, weird, decadent culture. Totally worthless. Let’s kill ’em all”.
But anyone who tries to warn us must hate us, right? Like what I was saying about the rapid decline of Poland?
Self defense experts say the same: If you see a thug lining up on a civilian, and you try to warn the civilian, they will simply become terrified of you. And we hate those whom me we fear, eh Mick? And we also hate those whom we have wronged. And then we project that onto them, and fear them as well.
@Mick…that halftime show was like a fire drill at a nuclear plant combined with some demonic mating ritual. I would rather have seen Janet Jackson!
You mean you didn’t wanna tap that ass?
Nope.
ne’er-do-well
Thanks Jim – excellent as always. Thanks for staying on Covid and the intent to depopulate. The machinations are there for sure. The intent is clear & the data is confirming same. The only questions that remain are who is involved and to what degree, and how soon they can be summarily executed.
Indeed, Jim’s pounding nails into the Crowbait Fever coffin is excellent work that we need many more influencers out here hammering away at as well. Thanks James.
Walter, what’s with the Republican councilman murders in NJ? 2 of them now. Just random acts of violence, or something more sinister?
“Folks, there is nothing to see here!” – Frank Drebin
The average citizen is either in denial or simply oblivious to the fact that even small level local politics is populated by the criminally corrupt. A threat on my life was made in December of 2019 because I had the votes to be elected mayor and I opposed a criminal enterprise being forced upon our community. I reported the incident to the Sherrif’s office, prosecutor’s office and the NJSP and none of them gave a shit. That is how business is done here. I got through it on my own.
The next township over just had a committeeman’s house shot at last week, and I do believe that the body count of NJ dead politicians is now at 3 for 2023. It is reality as anything goes, no one really cares, and nothing really matters.
So what’s behind the campaign against gas ranges that people have been using in their kitchens for 75 years, and just last week the announcement to restrict clothes dryers and washing machines?
And the new CAFE standards imposed beginning in 2026 — 60 mpg — are impossible to meet under any existing technology. With the average price of an EV at $75,000 — and that’s for a sh#tbox golfcart model good for hauling a few bags of groceries home from the vegan market — automobiles will be out of reach for all but the wealthiest citizens.
And this happening now or in the very near future.
They weren’t kidding about us owning nothing in our new lives as medieval serfs.
Every time I see an ad on television (when I actually watch television) I laugh out loud. These automakers are committing future suicide. The dollar is collapsing. People are finding it harder and harder to make ends meet much less save a buck or two and these woke auto corporations are shifting operations over to electric vehicles that the majority of people world wide will never be able to afford. It is absolutely astonishing to me how out of touch with reality nearly EVERYONE, other than the consumer actually are.
The cost of the EV doesn’t include the upgrades one will need to make on the home electrical system needed to adequately and safely charge the damned thing either.
Nor does the cost of the EV include the increased cost of the electricity for either the business or the home owner. Think the power bill is high now? Wait till you are charging one or two Tesla’s (if you are lucky enough to afford them).
The EV push will fail because nobody other than the uber rich will be able to afford to drive and charge them and there won’t be enough uber rich to buy enough of them to keep the stock holders happy.
These people are insane.
My guess is that when the US public loses it’s automobile culture, that any rich elites out there still using cars will be subject to kidnapping and banditry by an extremely upset and angry armed public – moving on bikes and motorbikes. If the elites wish to drive in our dystopian future, they might be needing protection from armed vehicles going with them.
Exactly. They won’t be able to drive anywhere without the threat of their tires being slashed or people putting nails on streets, etc. Not to mention rampant car-jacking.
Not looking good for the rich once we all lose our stuff.
They already use helicopters and private jets. They aren’t going to be driving cars either.
Somebody pointed out to me that’s why the ‘elites’ always buy waterfront mansions.
So they can make a quick getaway by boat when TSHTF.
Our dystopian future, not theirs…
The grandchildren of monsters like the Gates, the Clintons, the Rockefellars, and the Rothschilds, will be whisked along through the New Zealand countryside in their autoboudoirs, drinking, snorting coke, shooting adrenochrome, blasting rap, and fornicating like grunion.
Outside, hive-mind gender-free episilon field workers tend picturesque fields of organic produce, blowing kisses to the beloved Elite as they speed silently and obliviously by.
The stakeholders are on board now, just as Schwab said. Until we become stake holders of another kind, they will continue to win.
The millionaires must join us against the Billionaires. They’ve been betrayed too! They wanted to become billionaires….
We must accept human frailty. Everyone wanted to move up the pyramid.
A good mule with a two wheel cart might be useful.
Here in the People’s Republic of Austin very expensive dedicated bike lanes are being put in on major roads and throughfares.
I think this shows what the play is. Can’t afford EVs? Too bad. Ride a bike.
They are going in all over.
Whether we like it or not.
Me and Woody are already adapted to a car-less lifestyle (even though I have a car). Too bad, suckers!
Look for lower speed limits to come back to “save lives”.
They also extend EV range, making EVs less unpalatable.
A modern car (anything since 1995 that is!) the mpg penalty at 75mph compared to 55mph is quite minor–your time is worth more, even if you are poor or jobless.
But on an EV–it will go a lot longer at 55 than 75. That’s just the reality.
Ha, ha, 60 mph. I’ve been to Austin. I think I got about 3 miles in an hour. It was horrible.
Reminded me of back home in LA. One time it took 2 hours to go 2 miles.
@canker one of the most entertaining commercials last night was an ad for a Dodge Ram EV. At first I wasn’t sure who the sponsor was. It sounded like a political ad with people complaining about lack of charging power and length of charge then segues into an analogy of erectile disfunction. Pretty funny.
Another commercial making a knock at men.
I found it repulsive and infantile.
Give this some thought:
Five gallons of oil is required to produce the synthetic rubbers required for a single tire.
The entire tire manufacturing process that follows requires two additional gallons of oil for that single tire. The manufacturing process uses it to fuel the energy required to prepare the materials and assemble the whole tire.
When they speak of ‘barrels’ of oil, they are referring to the barrel utilized on a container ship — that would actually be a 42 gallon barrel.
So, to produce 4 tires for an EV “Green” car requires 28 gallons of oil — slightly over 1/2 of container ship barrel.
Now, in addition to the 1/2+ barrel of oil for your tires, there are also another 249,999.50 barrels of oil on that average 550-750 ft Ocean-going tank barge.
Of course, a petroleum product is required in order to get your 1/2 barrel if oil for your tires — and lots if it.
Last, but not least, the power required to keep your EV car charged is produced by conventional power plants burning oil or gas– both fossil fuels.
Windmills, solar panels and environmental ‘hopium’ cannot replace any of that — ever!
No amount of ‘technology’ — greeb or otherwise cab replace that — ever!
Bottom Line
————————
60 mpg ain’t happening, at least not on four wheels. As I’ve posted before, it’s going to be very likely that we’ll be owning Honda 125 cc Super Cubs. These are the most popular bikes used in Asia. Our automobiles, SUV’s, pickup trucks etc. will be sold off to Asia, and our new transport will be via small state of the art fuel injected and computer controlled motorbikes that get up to 188 mpg. If you don’t like this, then say hello to your new bicycle powered by YOU and nothing else. Want electric? A an e-bike is in your future – NOT A CAR!
Can we get a four wheel drive with big offroad tires?
Look for lower speed limits to come back to “save lives”.
They also extend EV range, making EVs less unpalatable.
A modern car (anything since 1995 that is!) the mpg penalty at 75mph compared to 55mph is quite minor–your time is worth more, even if you are poor or jobless.

Yes, bicycles and motorcycles don’t really work well–for the rider–when it’s cold out.
You can dress for cold and make a go of it. Electrically heated gloves and socks are available for bikers. Being comfortable isn’t always a part of being a biker. I used to be a hard core touring motorcycle rider during a spell in my 70’s, eventually marriage and children ended all that in hurry.
Riding motorbikes can be uncomfortable and a bit dangerous at times regarding weather conditions. One of the craziest things I ever did on a bike was on the Blue Ridge Parkway not far from Asheville NC in January. It was night and the Parkway road was closed due to snow and ice, and there was a bright full moon lighting up the snowy mountain scene so well that I could ride safely enough with all my lights off. I rode around a locked gate and rode for miles on a solo trip with no lights. I used engine braking as much as possible to avoid sliding on snow and to keep tail lights invisible. I was worried some official somebody might see me up there from down in the valley and be waiting at the gate to bust me. I kept my speed down and the entire scene was mine, I was the only one in it. It was very cold and sometimes I’d stop and warm my hands on the exhaust pipes.
Whoops, that should have been written “during a spell in the 1970’s” – not as in my 70’s – that’s where I’m at right now, and I ain’t out winter motorbike riding – not yet anyway……
Maybe soon we won’t have much gas here anyway because it’s all going to be sold in liquid form to Europe at greatly inflated prices? I don’t own a clothes dryer, in winter all my stuff dries quickly on racks next to my wood heater. In summer my clothing dries quickly on the line outside or in my hot attic. I can also cook on my wood heater if need be (dunno what I’d do in summer). Washing machines? I’ve used my bathtub before for washing clothing. It’s not that big a deal if you have hot water (also can be made via wood heater). I’ve no clothes dryer and no cable tv account.
People who don’t know me very well think I’m a weird “greenie” or prepper guy. Not really, I’ve just become used to what would be called a primitive lifestyle, yet I consider myself to be living in comfort just the way I like it.
Me, too.
No dryer. No WASHER.
Don’t get me going on laundry!!
Oh, well, . . .
I use a five-gallon bucket and a laundry “plunger”—do it in the shower. Works fine. And clothes actually last longer.
But I do have an electric laundry spinner, and this removes almost all of the water so clothes dry very fast.
When I had a house, first thing I installed was a very nice Japanese-design laundry tree.
Maybe I should send the design and specs to JHK to publish on his blog!!
Now I live in an apt., so no laundry line. I have put in extra towel racks in the bathroom and also have an old-fashioned drying rack for larger/more items. (Of course, even the vintage rack is better than the new ones.).
Dryers are the *most wasteful appliances” bar none. I have written about this for publication, so I know the data. Also, the most dangerous (fires). But I don’t see “greeenies” rushing to downgrade from electric dryers.
It is a joke.
In my childhood no one had a dryer in the house. All the laundry was hung out tod ry, and girls had to help with this chore. Plus bring in the dry laundry and fold it properly.
We put the clothes on hangers and hang the clothes on the door frame. Works well. Clothes are dry in a couple of hours.
I put the wet clothes on the floor, an improptu rug. I roll on it. An impromptu bath. I have defeated you! Your wastefulness of water is appalling!
Were you raised by the Fremen. Kidnapped by Harkkonens?
I’m even greener than you guys: I don’t change my clothes. Emissions free.
I’m not as green as any of you. I have a modern washer and (gas!) dryer.
I hang up the clothes on hangers while wet. Linens are fully dried though.
I have a washer, but I don’t have a dryer.
It cracks me up when people act like not having a dryer is the biggest hardship imaginable. Seriously?
Hanging up clothes is oppression? I think not.
Bigger families with children involved in a lot of activities find it a hardship to go without a dryer.
I have a clothes dryer, for the times I need it, which isn’t all that often.
Women aren’t home all day like we used to be, that’s a big part of the need for some appliances.
Guess rug rats are good for somthin’….
It sure is true that doing laundry by hand requires some Popeye spinach.
Not for the weak.
Doing a family’s laundry by hand should be a new Olympic sport.
Me too.
We could all use a little more “primitive lifestyle.” Long have I believed that we are living in an artificial reality. We all sense it isn’t real and that it could end at any second. That’s why everyone is on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. It’s all wrong and we all know it. Our big houses, fancy cars, lavish electronics and appliances are temporary at best and do not bring the happiness we all seek. Yet we continue to chase after them in hopes that they will make us happy. They never do.
The most wealthy among us are the most miserable.
My son is currently living in Mexico and he admires those people. They live on so much less than we do and, for the most part, they are a happier and much less complicated people. Not all, of course, but many are.
Very well said, Cankerpuss. I concur. None of that stuff makes people happy but they still chase it (big house, fancy cars, clothes, etc.).
I absolutely dread what’s coming down the pike for Mexico.
What do you believe is coming for Mexico?
From a friend in Mexico, who is leaving to return to the states:
“The Mexico we love is set to fall to the Agenda under new leadership next year & the expat position will definitely change.. once the world economy collapses further & the expat’s privileged position deteriorates.”
“My son is currently living in Mexico and he admires those people. They live on so much less than we do and, for the most part, they are a happier and much less complicated people”
CP,
Sooo….you will own nothing and be happy?
Remember the Chinese, 50 years ago? They were so concerned with the Earth and their environment, they all rode bicycles. Fast forward to today…see any bicycles on their 8 lane elevateds?
No…those happy, simple Mexicans would walk over your son’s back to achieve your standard of living.
Human nature.
Well, we already own a bunch of “stuff” and yet we are probably the unhappiest generations of people that have walked the planet. In our pursuits of chasing property and getting gain we have isolated ourselves from our families and loved ones. Friendships are harder to make and maintain because people don’t stay in the same place for long as they seek out more lucrative employment opportunities or larger homes elsewhere, effectively terminating relationships. Anti-depressant drugs are a multi-billion dollar industry, why? Because we have more than most generations on this Earth have ever had but we are unhappy and miserable. This tells me that the way we are living is not the way we are meant to live. There is a better way to live, a better way to exist. That doesn’t mean we walk away from it all and become a vagabond. Perhaps it simply means that we are satisfied with the 1200 square foot home we can easily afford and stop chasing after the 4000 square foot mcmansion we cannot afford. Perhaps being grateful for that which we have and putting and end to coveting that which we don’t have would result in a calmer, more peaceful existence and more time to focus on those inter-human relationships we all need and crave but lose in our constant pursuit of more “stuff.”
When you read an obituary, what does it usually include? Some of the deceased’s accomplishments, faith, and mostly family relationships (spouse, children, siblings, parents). Rarely does an obit brag about wealth, power, possessions, etc. Some stuff is necessary for existence but we want too much. Too much greed.
Not all Mexicans fit the mold I described. I was referring to those who are close to my son. They do live on substantially less than we do. Their lives are less complicated enabling more time to spend with loved ones. Like Americans, not all Mexicans are happy in the lot they inherited and seek to change it through good and evil means. Unfortunately.
I read a book about an Irish American guy who went to live in a remote part of Ireland. He bought a couple of acres with an old Norman tower (built for self defense against the native tribes). The locals liked him and took to calling him, “M’Lord”.
They dropped in on each other at all hours of the day: No TV or phone. All that ended it with the advent of electricity. He would drop in on his best friend and catch the friend not really listening and watching an English quiz show out of the corner of his eye. The TVs were always on. The old culture ended almost overnight. People don’t value what they have.
You don’t come across people in hospice care with only a few hours to live anguishing about missing a great shoe sale at Target.
.. . nor do you often see hease’s with U-Haul hitched to the back.

It’s Monday evening and all the regulars have moved far on down the thread, so possibly no one will read this. But I’ll launch a few words into the hollow void anyway.
Long have I believed that we are living in an artificial reality. We all sense it isn’t real and that it could end at any second. That’s why everyone is on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds.
Really? No other reasons? Like being actually depressed and anxious? Because they’re in emotional pain, not a vague sensation that it’s all an “artificial reality”?
Our big houses, fancy cars, lavish electronics and appliances are temporary at best and do not bring the happiness we all seek.
Something of a straw man, what? People can’t just enjoy worldly goods without imagining they bring that elusive happiness? I appreciate the way Joe Louis put it: “Money can’t buy happiness. But it does steady the nerves.”
The most wealthy among us are the most miserable.
The most wealthy can surely be miserable, but no economic class has cornered the market on misery. We are all camels struggling to go through the eye of a needle into the Kingdom of God.
My son is currently living in Mexico and he admires those people. They live on so much less than we do and, for the most part, they are a happier and much less complicated people.
I see. That’s why they uncomplicatedly pay people smugglers to sneak them into the materialistic USA by the thousands on any given day.
We can’t have appliances that use gas for ourselves, because the elites will have first dibs, and the rest will be sold off to the 1%, who aren’t about to rely on windmills and solar panels to keep their own families alive.
They want to sell it to Germany. They can make a lot more money that way.
That is why they blew up the pipelines. Fuck the Germans, but also fuck the Americans.
You will go without so that they can profit from them.
BackRowHeckler,
The WEF wants your western-civ-level energy usage to be reduced down to what someone’s in say Sub-Sahara Africa is. And they are trying to help you get to that preferred level! I really think you should be more appreciative. The WEF worked hard on this plan.
These new standards for western civilization will of course NOT apply to those flying around in their private jets.
They stuffed the country with 3rd worlders without a thought to the extra drain on energy and the environment, because big corporations wanted them here.
Now we are told we cannot live in the style we Americans become accustomed to due to our own hard work and ingenuity.
Once the dollar is rejected for use in international trade, “we cannot live in the style we Americans become accustomed to”. I’m quoting Oyl – because we would lack the domestic industrial capacity to manufacture basic living items like shoes, clothing, furniture, kitchen equipment, car parts, electronic stuff etc etc etc. Our lifestyles will change radically for no other reason than the Asian slave laborers stop working for us.
We will be required to rebuild the type of industrial base we had here in the 50’s. Back in the 60’s we had sewing factories in the USA that made blue jeans. “Made in USA” was a common label on many items. Not anymore. To do that successfully, or moving back to 50’s lifestyle and business model – we’ll need a lot of skilled blue collar workers, laborers, people with business and entrepreneurial skills, engineers, architects etc. Everyone will be required to get back to work and help build/renovate our domestic production facilities that were shipped off to Asia. Everyone will be required to step forward and work in new sweat shop type factories making items like shoes and clothing. Instead of Asians working like mules year after year in uncomfortable and difficult factory conditions, US females will be called upon instead to do sweatshop labor. Can they do this? If they aren’t up to this task, and if American males can’t or won’t do blue collar labor in harsh physical environments such as working in coal mines or out welding in 90 degree heat – we’ll be occupying our land like a bunch of hookwormy ignorant southern sharecropper crackers. We’ll be stinky, dirty, unkempt, malnourished and afflicted by parasites, and barefoot to top it off. No shoes for us because.factory work just isn’t “comfortable”. Nobody out working the mines or making steel – it’s either too dangerous, too hot, or too cold out to be doing that. Is that our future in the Long Emergency?
Well said. The German National Socialists (Nazis!) saw all this coming and fought against it. But the stupid Capitalist slaves fought against He who would have saved them. As you would have done too if you had lived then as you are now.
@woodchuck..
“we’ll be occupying our land like a bunch of hookwormy ignorant southern sharecropper crackers. We’ll be stinky, dirty, unkempt, malnourished and afflicted by parasites, and barefoot to top it off”
Makes my inner southern cracker want to burn a cross in your yard. While I agree with your premise of hard menial work we will all be hookwormy, stinky and dirty. Some will be more ignorant than others.
Couldn’t you just have easily said we’ll all be hookwormy, dirty, sorry assed inner city slum dwellers? The reality is we’ll all just be stinky and dirty and exhausted and hookworms will be the least of our problems
jarek,
The Austrian with the mustache may not have been an acolyte of the elite, but he served their needs HANDILY.
No Rothschilds spent time in prison in WW2.
The war effort allowed the elite to condition Americans and Britons, not to mention the occupied Europeans and the German people themselves to live under totalitarian rule.
The war required to stop the mustached Austrian who took over Germany resulted in a much more complete World Order, with a new United Nations much more powerful than the League of Nations.
And after the war, the Austian’s enablers, the people behind the “Arsenal of the 3rd Reich”, like Daimler-Benz, Seimens, IG Farben (ok, that was broken up), and the Quandt family, they all were nice and rich again very soon in the 1950s, while their compatriots were still surrounded by, or even living in, rubble.
But please, keep praising the demented Austrian mutant, and undercutting whatever logical other points you bring to the table here.
And yes, I concede, the Germans did get the most unfair end of Versailles. The were blockaded and starved for a year after THEY, in some what good faith, agreed to stop the shooting while they still occupied part of France, on Nov 11, 1918 (how much longer that would have continued can be debated, of course).
He lost. That’s not a crime. You think the War could have been avoided? You’re wrong. He attacked Russia because Russian forces were massing, preparing to attack him.
He had little chance against the tremendous powers of Capitalism/Communism. They had to move before other countries copied the model or have you NOT heard about the economic miracle Nazi Germany?
There was a pause during the early war – “the Sitzkreig”. German agents in the Netherlands pretended to be German resistance and asked British agents what they should do. They were told: Go back on the Gold standard. Allow International Bankers back in. And kill Adolf Hitler.
You mean the Allies made deals with “Nazi” scientists and industrialists? So they didn’t really believe all that anti-Nazi propaganda? And yeah, maybe many of the rich Germans didn’t either. The War is first and foremost between the Light and Dark in every human heart, what to speak of every family, community, state, and nation.
Hitler had to deal with imperfect people and dark forces. Does that mean he didn’t believe in National Socialism? Or does that make him a realist – far more so than you!
The Amish aren’t stinky, dirty, unkempt, or hookwormy. I don’t know how they stack up, education-wise, but they do have their own schools, where kids presumably learn to read, write, and cipher–which is more than our public school system seems to be able to achieve.
Back when most people did manual labor of some kind, most of them were ignorant. But I’m not sure they were any more ignorant than most people are today.
I find it annoying that the ideal state for so many people is to be physically motionless, and the surest sign of being “upper class” is to never have to get up out of your chair and walk around.
Take from an old person: Someday you’ll wish you could still enjoy walking around and other forms of physical exertion. There is great joy it this.
RSH hahah spin the magic 8 ball you self hating pottysites
Woody I have a funny feeling I’ll be stinky, dirty, unkempt, and fasting before long. Ok for you,
they was making their own shoes and stuff sir and pants down at the cuckoo cuckoo plantation. I means it. One’s of them even had a business degree and was writing a humdinger. cigarettes suh, was going for a buck a pop. I’m pretty sure Johnny’s gonna lose his job. I mean Johnny’s a knee slapper. To be out witted by a brain dead mental patient! Imagine what he says.
Wilma back to you.

Re gas ranges, you were asking a while ago about gas prices in the UK. I’ve just had notice of my new direct debit amounts for gas and electricity. We have gas for central heating and for the stove hob. The 2 ovens are electric (the smaller one hardly ever gets used).
My monthly direct debits have gone from about £85/month for gas and £40-something for electricity this time last year to £215/month (all year, incl. summer) for gas and £75/month for electricity. Quite a leap and I live in a one-bedroom flat. It’s not very energy efficient, because of the old windows, sandstone walls and being on the ground floor. I’m guessing that, since it can’t be retrofitted to match whatever new green building regulations they will bring in, they will eventually just stop supplying gas, electricity and water and put us out on the street. With a bit of luck my Gates-induced heart attack will come first, as I have no inclination to live out my last days on the pavement.
” Are they aiming to reduce the US population on-purpose” I think with the CDC’s inclusion of the clot shots for babies regular vaxx updates, the answer is a resounding “YES”.
I know several families, 4 of them have children under 2. 2 are completely unvaxxed. Never get sick. Healthy, and routine checkups are silly, because all they do is vaxxes.
2 other children, are existing from one sickness to another. 1 has been hospitalized more than once.
4 children does not make a scientific argument, but in my view, most young children under 3 these days look grey and unhealthy, with perpetual snotty noses.
If my kids ever have children. It will be no vaxxx.
I compare child hood vaccines to getting a new car, and having the mechanic add little sand to the oil, and transmission on ever oil change. The car will always have problems, even if you stop the mechanic after year 3.
Children’s Health Defense did the biggest study on vaxxed vs. unvaxxed children and found exactly what you have: The unvaxxed kids were way healthier.
But the study is ignored by our deathcare industry, of course.
what about polio?
Polio is back, mixed with a strain of meningitis, brought in on the backs of 2 million illegals since 2020 from the filthy barrios & fetid jungles of Central America.
For me, the jury’s still out on whether that was environmental poisoning.
Ive heard that fantasy.
My mom and her sister were hit by polio [1950?] while at the beach.
I dont believe the ‘pesticides cause polio’ riff.
I don’t think it was pesticides alone, and it really doesn’t matter to me what you believe.
I’ve got enough evidence that pestilence and illness are caused in order to sell vaccines.
AIDS was the same.
I think that polio was mostly eradicated, not by the vaccine, but by improved sanitation, such as public water and sewer systems, which were mostly put in place in the 1950s and into the 1960s.
In small-town rural America in the 1950s, every house had its own well and its own pump–which was often just a hand-pump in the back yard. Sometimes it was a hand-pump in the kitchen, and sometimes it was an electric pump that circulated water in a relatively modern household plumbing system.
In the early 1950s, most people still had outhouses, but people were beginning to install indoor toilets. The problem was, they were not installing septic systems. The indoor toilet flushed into a ditch, which, as often as not ran into the nearest roadside ditch, or sometimes to the nearest creek. So you literally had open sewers along every roadside all over town.
When one of my old friends was a kid, he noticed that the water in a nearby ditch was running red, so he asked his mother about it. She replied, “Oh, they must have another body down at the funeral home.”
You can probably see how this type of infrastructure could lead to water-borne diseases, due to sewage in the surface water and possibly also in the ground water, and thus the well water.
It’s a myth that vaccination ended polio.
It was going away before the mass vaccination of youth started.
Viruses wax and wane. It’s nature.
Mortality of most infectious diseases in the US had declined over 90% by the time vaccines for those diseases had been introduced. Improved sanitation, nutrition, and hygiene have never received the credit they deserve.
Industrialism was terrible for people. On the other hand, the people in Africa were always sickly. The Homeland of Humanity is a very hard place to live in fact. Terrible diseases and parasites. The northern lands are so much better, once we learned how to live in them.
A recent book “Turtle All The Way Down” has a very detailed history of Polio and the environmental factors that coincidentally occurred during that time. As stated elsewhere, Polio was on the decline before the vaccine was released and the original vaccine had to be pulled (Cutter Incident) because the vaccine was killing people. Imagine that.
Salk’s original vaccine was made from dead virus. In the sixties, the polio vaccine began to be manufactured using live virus (the Sabin vaccine). I read that all cases of polio in the US since then have been caused by the live-virus polio vaccine.
The Cutter Incident (1955): vaccine contaminated with live virus taken off the market, only two weeks after introduction, due to 10 deaths, HEW and NIH heads resign…
It was a different world back then.
Thank you. I am not feeling up to explaining this today. 🙂
Also, Gates’ polio vaxx campaigns in Africa have resulted in vaxx-induced paralysis being more common than wild polio in vast swaths of the continent.
I got the polio vaxx in the 50s – no idea if it was the dodgy, cancer-causing one.
The polio vaccine was also grown on rhesus monkey kidneys.
It just so happens these kidneys were also infected by sv40 among many other cancer causing viruses.
The polyomavirus simian virus 40 (SV40) is a known oncogenic DNA virus which induces primary brain and bone cancers, malignant mesothelioma, and lymphomas in laboratory animals. Persuasive evidence now indicates that SV40 is causing infections in humans today and represents an emerging pathogen.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_contamination_with_SV40
But they love us and want the best for us!
I know of one family with children having received no vaccines at all, all four children healthy.
Again, doesn’t prove anything, but at some point anecdotes become data.
What they did with the vaxx was deliberately try to keep us from seeing the data.
Yes, when they are collected systematically and analyzed objectively using mathematics. In other words, anecdotes become data to the extent the cease to be anecdotes, given the connotation of randomness of the latter.
From Wormwoodian perspective, you are simply delicious. Your comment on Ireland was scrumptious. And then when challenged, you talked some more about Ireland. Sauce!
You are why the Aliens are here. To serve Man!
Domesticated cats seem to think that Man exists in order to serve them – thus the feline attitude.
I was completely ostracized by a social circle I valued for the criminal offense of advising a man I considered a good friend NOT to have his newborn son vaccinated. When that bright, cheerful boy turned sullen and withdrawn, I was told he was “a little slow.” Then his mother told me he was diagnosed as autistic.
Dad is a brilliant coder I worked with for 2 years and had bible study with for much of that time. One of the other coders in our circle has 2 sons who started out bright and grew dim after vaccination. To suggest shots had anything to do with it is to commit social suicide.
I said brilliant coders, not brilliant fathers.
C.O.Jones,
I am so sorry to hear your story. This seems to be very common. And I am not referring to the vaxxine reactions (although that is common too). I am talking about the social suicide. I have seen this again and again in my own social circle. Why are you, who warned your friends out of love, the persona non grata? Why am I? Why do people persistently blame those who were correct in offering a warning rather than those who perpetrated the evil in the first place? Why are these parents (in this case) incapable of acknowledging their own culpability in being duped?
It boggles my mind.
In my new more socially isolated circumstances, I try to look at the bright side. I spend less time in the company of lunatics. But it’s still lonely.
I understand the reaction if they’ve already gone ahead and gotten the shots for themselves and their children. They know they can’t undo what has been done, and they’re deeply afraid. That, at least, makes some sense.
But many people who hadn’t yet been vaxxed and still had the option of declining were adamant in their refusal to read, listen to, or otherwise see any criticism or alternative voices. It didn’t matter that the criticism came from people who were well qualified to offer it – they proclaimed these people, prominent doctors and scientists, “fringe” conspiracy theorists without even looking at the evidence. This is an attitude I’ve had real difficulty in understanding. It does seem to be related to Trump Derangement Syndrome, in that it has the same symptoms and arose around the same time.
Rowdypiglet,
One relative of mine told me that the doctors who were publicizing the deadly effects of the shots were just trying to sell books. He is a vaxxed up college graduate, employed by the state.
The punchline is that his dad – my brother – died from blood clots in his lungs twenty odd days after his second shot. My brother ridiculed me when I advised him not to get the shot.
I think you’re right, Trump Derangement Syndrome played a part in the formation of opinions, both my brother’s and his son’s. TDS played a large role in my divorce because I refused to wear a mask or take a shot for a disease that has a 99.74% survival rate. It would be accurate to say I’ve paid the price for being able to think.
Most people trust received authority, and on top of that, most people trust most people, and that’s why.
Frustrating, it’s.
Some of the people I know who were (and I suppose still are) eager to take the jabs did so out of pure loyalty to their “team”–in other words, the liberal team. Skepticism would have placed them firmly on the enemy’s “team.” No amount of data or factual information will sway them, because that’s not how they make their decisions. They decided to take the jabs because their political affiliation demanded it.
mrs_saj,
It’s a dilemma. What do you do when you have authenticated information that could alter the life of a child and the parents of that child?
I showed my buddy a study that said shooting the multiple standard vaccines into an infant as they do is the equivalent of shooting 12 ounces of liquid into an adult man. I implored him not to do that to his son. He ignored me. He will be caring for that child for the life of that child.
My consolation is that I am not the jerk who stood by while my friend effectively consented to the poisoning of his son. I spoke up and paid the price but the price would have been even steeper had I held my tongue in the attempt to be popular.
The truth ain’t popular.
As a retired nurse, I get questions from all directions.
I answer as an advisor only when I know for certain what I am saying is gospel. Otherwise I say , I do not know.
Nothing with Covid is gospel, I give little advice other than revealing that many MDs and others are revealing the many side effects of the vaxx. I recommend they do their own research before making the risk decision. Most never get the boosters.
I always tell folks to consult their MD as I am limited in information being retired 7 years.
Covid especially but other immune system modifiers are so unknown with their effects that any information is suspect. It is scary to make any recommendations on vaxxes or vaccines.
That is why this damnable government needs to be sued for what it has done.
C.O. Jones, I’ve found it’s no use trying to bring logic to the conversation, if you’re even able to have one. My impulse would have been to ask what was the motivation of the great majority of doctors who raised questions but didn’t write books, and were hounded, investigated, and sometimes lost their licenses – but I now know from experience that it would have gone nowhere. When they run out of responses, which happens pretty quickly, they get angry and extremely hostile. You did what you could, so you can at least sleep at night
C.O.Jones,
The dilemma for me is where do I draw the line of speaking up or staying silent. And it’s not the same line for everyone situation. If an adult is showing hesitation, then I stick up for their hesitation. Though I warn them there are social costs to be paid to those lobbying them to get the shots. If it’s regarding minor children, I speak up. An experimental shot on a child when they have a 99% survivability rate? And if it’s a pregnant woman, I don’t hold anything back.
But now, a fully indoctrinated adult contemplating shot number 3, 4, or 5 for themself is not entitled to my opinion. Back in mid to late 2021, I did still lobby adults not to get the first shot. There aren’t many of those folks left today. People are either firmly at zero or they are up to 3, 4, or 5.
Others on this blog may have entirely different approaches which is absolutely their right. My approach satisfies my own conscience.
“People are either firmly at zero or they are up to 3, 4, or 5.”
I’m not sure that’s true. I’ve had two, before finding out what was going on (we older bods were unlucky to be at the start of the programme, before more info. came out about adverse effects). Lots of people had two and took no boosters. Each booster gets fewer takers. Many people who just had one took no more because they were sick after the first one (some obviously died after the first one).
Even many doctors in the UK quit after the first two. Only 60% of them apparently got the first booster. But presumably a lot of those still gave it to their patients or at least participated in the effort to get their patients to go to vaxx centres. It is unimaginable to me that you would refuse to take any more of something yourself, because you’d come to doubt its safety, but stand by and watch your patients take more of it.
Green Alba,
Actually you are providing examples that fit my approach quite neatly. So thanks.
If you (or the doctors you mention) expressed hesitancy, I would encourage your hesitancy. If you (or the doctors you mention) were ready for your next shot (number 3) without hesitancy, I wouldn’t say a word. Anyone going in for their third (or more) is not entitled to my opinion, time, or energy.
None of us is ‘entitled’ to anything very much. I’d still try with someone who’d taken a booster already. If they are in the ‘angry’ brigade, i.e. those who get aggressive about it, then there is no point in continuing. Otherwise, you never know when a drop of truth might seep into someone’s brain. And they may talk to someone else, and so on. It’s obviously happening, because more people are waking up and fewer people are boosting. It’s just not happening fast enough to stop the agenda.
I can’t imagine any parent being capable of either intellectually, emotionally or spiritually ‘owning’ having been responsible for the death of their child, espsecially due to one single decision that they had made.
There are a host of inherent psychological defense mechanism’s that kick in for the survival of the organism.
That is beyond shocking to witness, yet understandable — the mechanism.
However, should this parent continue to do the same with yet another one of their children after this has occurred, is none other than the work of the Devil, imho.
You make a good point, ViceGrip. I don’t have children so how could I possibly know anything?
Every time my friend sees me, he is reminded of the decision he made so it’s better not to see me and just act like autism fell out of the sky and landed on his once bright son.
What’s worse? To hold your tongue or to tell the truth? If I had held my tongue, I couldn’t bear to see my friend or his boy but since I told the truth, I don’t have that problem.
As mrs_saj said, I am persona non grata. It’s ok, though – my dog loves me!
Yes, I agree – the adversary has his fingerprints all over this business.
No one likes to be proven wrong. It is integral to self image and ego.
When playing the blame game after a catastrophe, no one likes to look in the mirror.
Politicians, who are masters of the blame game, use this to divert attention all the time.
Blame someone else!!
buzz is many microsoft employees have disabled children.
genetics for aspergers? vaccines? both?
You know how wild that sounds? Scary.
Good on you for making an attempt to save your friends, family and their children.
What a horribly sad state of affairs.
You have lost a lot but you will never lose your integrity.
@ sanspeur
Similar situation in my family. Two nieces both fully vaxed have produced three children since 2020. One child is autistic, another severe ADHD and the last is a dwarf. Both families have none of this in their histories. Of course neither niece has considered the ‘shot’ as a possible cause. Just one of those things.
As Jim has outlined for us today, for those who wish to see it’s not difficult to discern the terrible, bizarre deeds being perpetrated around the world, or for someone like Sy Hersh to track down who the order givers and button pushers are. But the why of it is maddeningly elusive.
Evil isn’t terribly difficult to understand, but raging insanity confounds analysis. If you or I had ten billion dollars, would we indefatigably undermine stable governments, immiserate formerly prosperous populations, court planetary thermonuclear annihilation in order to possess another billion that we could not possibly spend – or a hundredth billion?
I am reminded of the old game of King of the Hill, and groups of boys clambering upward and being thrown back until only the biggest, toughest lout remained atop the dirt mound.
When the entire rest of the world’s population has starved from a contrived food shortage and perished from a manufactured pandemic, will there just be George and Warren and Bill and Elon under a bubble on Epstein’s Island, guarded by a loyal corps of Boston Dynamics warrior robots?
Could each of them bear sharing the world with the other three, or will they ultimately take battleaxes to each other until only one is left standing: King of the World.
Don’t forget Zuckerberg and Bezos and Bloomberg.
Hey, I may be wrong, but aren’t all of these mega billionaires Jewish? for your religious types, ever wonder why the world will turn against Israel before the final battle of Armagheddon? Could it be that the world’s massive problems came at the hands of a few uber weatlhy jewish aristocrats? When the worlds awakens to this we shall see.
Just a thought.
I’d need to see a list of the mega billionaires. If you are talking about “these” as the three you mentioned, yes I believe they are.
Elom Musk is not.
The three I mentioned and George Soros, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. I understand that all of them are. I’m sure there are other billionaires out there that are not. However, the ones that seem to intimately involved in
I did not know Musk wasn’t. Thanks for the clarification.
I believe Elon Musk is half Jewish.
I could be wrong.
However, Jews have always been at the forefront of finance. By “forefront” I mean inventing different financial/ speculative/credit instruments and practices, inventing and shaping new types of markets (such as futures), providing credit to colonizers for their extractive projects, building up industries in the metropole that required the raw resources of the colonies, etc.
Jews themselves are very proud of this talent—until you point out the aspects of this activity that has not been welcomed in host countries. Then it is suddenly “anti-semitism” ( stupid term that I use only to ridicule it).
I have a pile of Jewish DNA and my grandfather was in finance in Germany. But that doesn’t make me willfully stupid or blind or unable to read history.
He’s half robot
Musk is not jewish, is what a reasonable amount of casual internet research will say.
is bezos jewish? his dad was not there for his growing up.
Raging insanity? Some great sage gave us the idea that if God plans to destroy us all He’ll make us crazy first.
“But the why of it is maddeningly elusive.”
Money, lots of it, is why.
Shut down the pipeline, buy LNG from the controllers in the imperial city. Brought by tanker$ across the Atlantic. Very expensive, lots of people in line for the handouts.
Then insure it by blowing up the pipeline.
As a bonus, the remaining citizens in the US, a diminishing number if the Souther border invasion numbers are anywhere near close,( likely understated) get to pay the penalty as the energy resources from here are sent there.
I’m waiting to see the deal sealed. Rotterdam is one choke point. A conflagration there would would be synergistic.
Whoa, wtf? Are you forgetting the World Made by Hand? What is the premise behind it? Peak Oil. Population explosion meets resource deficit. Do you think the Elite don’t know all this?
So this is their rational response: Reduce the Global population to 500 million. What would you do if you were them? Nothing? I’ll wait for your answer. Yes, they use irrationality to serve their rational goal. What else could you do given the task at hand and human nature?
What would I do? Fortress America and watch the world die. Trading with Fortress Europe and any other White, Western Nations who were on board.
In other words, America First by Trump?
The fact that the majority of the populace voted him out, says that America does not understand the big picture of what is going on.
That is just what the government has been creating for fifty years.
Stupidification.
The majority?
Last real count 330 million Americans and 81 million if that number is to be believed is not a majority of even voter aged eligible people.

The laws of the land are being violated, and the constitution is continually being poked. Has anyone considered that those in charge of the movement are basically complying with “The Great Reset” and “Build Back Better” set of rules? A NWO (2030 Agenda) set of rules? Why not? They have had a couple generations to plan and fine tune implementation of their movement.
A couple weeks ago, Not_GeorgeT argued that Fauci was evil. Subsequently I have given this much thought, originally thinking it was a “chicken or egg” argument. That which I have landed on is that from the perspective of a victim, Not_GeorgeT is absolutely correct. But, looking at this from Fauci’s perspective, like Schindler, I believe that he fancies himself as benevolent (I believe that the same goes for “George and Warren and Bill”). One needs to view a person that presents as evil, as either being insane, or one needs to get inside their head by looking for a logical explanation for their actions from their perspective. Logical can include that they have deluded themselves into believing that their actions are/will be benevolent (there is a basic need to be viewed by our cohorts as good). Regarding Fauci and covid, I believe that there are enough victims, people who lost their jobs, their house, their car, their spouse, … that he can’t possibly justify being benevolent, so ultimately that takes us to some NWO agenda.
The problem with allowing an “evil” person to control the levers of power, is that their mind is such that they are unable to contemplate all the consequences of their actions and deal with an unexpected issue.
I suspect that when “Biden” took office, that the WEF elite were all on-board with “The Great Reset” and “Build Back Better” (all Nations must participate), but then Putin realized that the deal was not in Russia’s best interest, and decided that he better press the WEF elite and have them make a commitment one way or the other, and now “Biden” is inundated with the unexpected consequences. I believe that Kerry made backroom deals with XI, which would basically destroy the United States, and XI figured that it was a no lose proposition, so he accepted the deals that Kerry offered (that which sticks in my mind is Kerry telling 2 cohorts that he (Kerry) had to concede 2 of the 3, but at least he got the one relating to the “Green New Deal”).
A major unexpected consequence is that “Biden” has committed treason, and XI is holding all the aces in this regard.
At what point does a prominent figure take a stand and declare that the way “The Great Reset” and “Build Back Better” are being implemented, basically amounts to a coup?
In order to deal with a coup, one needs to comprehend their perspective, otherwise one is never able to make sense of the nonsense and counter their agenda.
**
New York, USA, 13 June 2019 – The World Economic Forum and the United Nations signed today a Strategic Partnership Framework outlining areas of cooperation to deepen institutional engagement and jointly accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
I can engage in endless meaningless arguments with my family and friends about whether or not Fauci is evil.
Looking at it from their perspective, Fauci is a saint because they no longer have to spend an hour and a half getting ready for work, they no longer have to spend two hours a day battling rush hour traffic, they no longer have to put up with the jerks at work, … you get the picture. And as for the covid obsessed, Fauci is their savior because they did not die, because he put on his armor and went to battle for them by mandating that everyone wear a diaper, that everyone stay six feet the hell away from them, and he was instrumental in mandating that the world get vaccinated to insure that they would never get the covid.
Now, ask anyone of them about the meaning of Fauci’s relationship with the WEF, or the reason for the conflict in Ukraine, and you might get a “Putin bad” reply, but they are all basically clueless. Just think, this is basically half the voting population of the US!
What is the solution? An honest objective assessment of current events and the news, and tar and feather the liars.
Not enough tar nor feathers.
What is your solution? Buckle up?
I am under the impression that Nancy Pelosi did not bring an issue up for a vote until she knew (had commitments) the votes were there.
I believe it was the same with the launch of “The Great Reset” and “Build Back Better” agendas (all Nations must participate).
The first test was Afghanistan, but no loss, because they can always muscle them into compliance.
[[As reports of violent repression against women and U.S. allies by the Taliban alarm the globe, Thomas-Greenfield told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer the U.S. would be “watching” closely.
“We are hearing from people in Afghanistan that they are getting threats from the Taliban, and we have expressed in no uncertain terms here at the United Nations through a very strongly worded press statement from the Security Council that we expect the Taliban to respect human rights, including the rights of women and girls,” Thomas-Greenfield said. “We have also indicated that they have to be respectful of humanitarian law and that we do not expect to see that Afghanistan will become a safe haven for terrorists. But, again, it is not their words that we will hold them to. It is their actions that we will be watching.”]]
This was not lost on Putin, and my read is that the “agenda” made a backroom deal to buy the Taliban vote (and that explains all the nonsense pertaining to the withdrawal).
Putin did not like the way things were shaping-up in Ukraine. What is lost on the general population, is that the movers and shakers of the world all have the opportunity to know each other, and they all have the opportunity to know about the WEF and it’s agenda.
QUOTE:***You’d have more reason to suspect that those outfits were fronting for something else, and that something might be the CCP. The Marxist culture war against American manners and values is unmistakably a re-play of China’s cultural revolution, with all its insults against reason, tradition, custom, common sense, and due process of law.***
I find it a bit difficult to believe that the CCP really was so ‘good’ at what they do that they could have had a hand in the sociocultural malaise overtaking the West. If anything I always thought it would and should have been the other way around. After all, Marx wasn’t Chinese. (I don’t remember any Chinese having that sort of hairstyle.) And face it, America has way more military bases around the world than China.
But if it turns out the CCP really did have a hand in the sociocultural malaise overtaking the West, I’d imagine it’s karma at work. Hey, the West did have a very big hand in the collapse of China’s premodern sociocultural order in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with the godforsaken abomination called the CCP taking its place. So perhaps the Chinese can say with some justification: you ruin our sociocultural order, we ruin yours. Tit for tat.
The sociocultural order in China during the Boxer Rebellion around 1900 was nothing to write home about.
That may be. Or may not be.
But you seem to think that it is the West’s job to tell others how to live.
First, educate yourself on the social order in England (the country that most direclty attacked the Chinese social order with enforced use of opium) in exactly the same era.
Cue “satanic mills.”
My sentiments, more or less.
It’s always a good idea to concern oneself with the beam in one’s own eye before telling others about the mote in theirs.
Good points. The Dutch, Portugese, Germans & British were in China since the 16th century. The town I live in grew wealthy from trade with China in the early to mid 19th century. Trade with China is how our insurance industry began. At least the Germans started the Tsingtao Brewery, which makes beer to this day.
Nor that of contemporary America and Europe.
And how did the sociocultural order in China end up what it was in 1900?
@brh
“The Good Earth” is a great read, and set in that period.
They certainly have infiltrated Higher Ed in our country. I doubt they bothered to do that without an end goal.
They’re not stupid. Clearly, they saw that we were easily manipulated by our greed for cheap stuff, our internal corruption, and our eagerness to debase ourselves by transgressing against all cultural norms. They’d be stupid not to use these things to their advantage. What could be more desirable than to win a war without any expenditure of money and lives?
It’s a secondary cause. The real home of Communism is Capitalism. And the real home of Capitalism (or one of them) is right here on the East Coast, Manhattan and the District of Columbia being the two bull’s eyes.
Who funded the great Revolutions? Peasants or Bankers?
It’s so simple but the People refuse to see.
‘A UFO invasion? Is that what it’s come to? I guess so.’
My thought: beware the tall big headed aliens coming with gifts and wanting to fatten us up. 🙂
On a serious note, the USCorp defaulted on yet another bond package payment on Jan 31. The CEO of BOA came out on cnn and said the we need to prep for a collapse of the US$. This is some serious shit. Already US$s are flying back into the US from countries that no longer need them for energy purposes. Best prep? Read about Weimar.
neurodoc,
You’ve mentioned this impending default of US bonds before, if I recall right. Where are you reading about this? I’ll try some searching on BofA’s CEO.
Thanks.
I watched a very good You tube on what the selling of US Treasury bonds is doing to the gold market.
In a few words, international bullion banks are where countries hold their gold reserves. When countries buy and sell gold into the banks, some of the purchases are made with, you guessed it, Treasuries. The percentage is value in the bullion banks of Treasuries is growing.
The You Tube post’s message was that no one knows exactly how much gold really exists any where.
I do know that Russia and China are now buying gold and keeping it. Could it be that BRICS will eventually own the majority, or all, the gold and the US will have no backing for the dollar? They are also increasing their selling of US Treasuries they hold.
Do you think we are being set up? Is Biden’s Mob scared of these people?
neurodoc,
Ok, I see Janet Yellen on CNN on January 13 talking about potential debt default and extraordinary measures only getting us through June.
I looked at this in January news coverage as the typical kabuki theater surrounding the debt ceiling.
I’m not convinced ‘this sucker is going down’ this year, but I do absolutely think the US dollar has a limited shelf life left.
Your comments would be appreciated.
This not Neurodoc but here goes.
China owns a percentage of our U.S. Treasuries. If they could get away with it, they could shut us down right now.
However, they do own our Treasuries and part of their wealth is our debt. If we default, so do they. Along with the other members of BRICS+.
So they will continue to convert Treasuries for gold and then when the time is right, pull the rug out from under the dollar, which is backed by the Treasuries.
IOW, China will for all intents and purposes own the US and in short order. The next president here will be dealing with this.
Hi JohnAZ,
Your comments are always appreciated too!
I have read similar things as you over the last 10 years about China and Russia slowing and then stopping their new US treasuries purchases. I’ve also read about them drastically reducing the balance of their treasuries owned. I think Russia is down to nothing. And this has helped them during the Special Operation in Ukraine.
Other countries have followed the lead of China and Russia and they do it methodically over time. No country is running out and dumping their entire holding of treasuries in a month.
Similarly, a number of countries have gone on buying sprees of physical gold. This is also done over time so as to not create any major disturbances in the gold market.
Also, one country, I can’t remember which, that had allowed the US to hold its gold reserves for decades, warned us they wanted to repatriate the bullion to their own vault and presented the schedule that they would expect their gold to be returned. There is a lot of fuzziness around how much gold is actually at Fort Knox. This country did receive its bullion back, over time. Who knows if the US had to go out and buy it on the spot market.
I heard that Germany asked for its bullion back, but I heard that they were simply refused.
There may be a bit of quid-pro-quo going on here, also. Perhaps the US government continues to allow China (and individual Chinese) to own property and businesses in the US in exchange for assurances from China that they will not dump treasuries–or at least that they will dump them in (an agreed-upon) measured way. It also may be that the threat of dumping treasuries may buy China a certain level of control over the US government. I.e., “We won’t pull the rug, as long as you do certain things that we want.”
It’s all about the Benjamins, baby.
Our overlords will do anything for money, lie, cheat, steal, kill, and also sell off the country.
That’s how they do.
Turn all your moneys in and you’ll be granted a like number of Ameros. Any deposits will be turned into Ameros. What is the problema? No more cash! The Amero is an idea, not a fucking piece of paper! No more awkward changing of currency. One currency good all over North America, soon South America. After that, the world!
The Amero won’t seem to buy as much as the old dollar did though…..
Except the currency will be the Yuan.
Yes, it’s happening, neurodoc. Fpr a long time now, Jim Willie has been sounding the alarm about this (repatriation of US treasuries and the subsequent collapse of the US dollar as world reserve currency, and the chaos in America as a result). I’ve listened to his interviews over at goldenjackass.com for years and what he talked about is coming true.
It’s the Fourth Turning. I don’t see a grey champion coming to shepherd us through this time. I honestly thought Trump was the one, but he was overwhelmed and ousted, and we will all pay the price.
I think I need to learn more about Weimar Germany.
I just bought:
When Money Dies: The Nightmare of Deficit Spending, Devaluation, and Hyperinflation in Weimar Germany byAdam Fergusson.
It had good reviews and seemed to tell some boots on the ground stories about how people actually lived. They bartered.
It would appear too many fixate on the macro; WEF, UN etc. Any plan of controlling a planet, continent, country, geographic area within a country, needs boots on the ground down to the neighborhood level. Identify the control group at YOUR level and eliminate it.
To worry about anything at any level above the neighborhood is extremely moronic. Be totally aware of ALL machinations developing anywhere which can, eventually, effect a negative outcome on your AOR but the focus is LOCAL for solutions to events the affect your quality of life. Living in an area, as I do, where locals are pre-disposed to justifiable action of THIS type is quite comforting. Nuff Said.
(PS- When will the FIB and C(orrupted), D(eranged), C(riminals) launch an investigation into the cult forming within the KC organization?
THREE pre felons daring to utter praise of a non woke deity! Arrests and torture to follow on cnn.)
You mean like in my peaceful, park like neighborhood, where the State Equity board is looking at a parcel of the town forest to build an eight story Section 8 housing project?
BRH,
I am as serious as Cancer when I suggest you put your house up for sale and move if the project is within one mile of your place.
He was thinking about a ranch out west a few years ago – and actual property. What happened with that idea? Colorado or New Mexico. Still behind enemy lines politically, but not necessarily geographically if you catch my drift. They’re big states.
Colorado and New Mexico are very Blue!
They don’t even fill those things with Americans needing affordable housing anymore. They import Africans and so forth to live in them.
Beryl, I’ve mentioned this before, but they tried this trick in Portland, Maine – a city that was once decidedly blue collar but has become full of woke activists. Mainers who lived in the state their entire lives were on a long list, waiting years for Section 8 housing. The woke city council decided to invite a large group of “refugees” from Somalia, and provide them with the housing that had been promised to Maine taxpayers, and for which they had paid.
The Governor at the time, Paul LePage, refused to release the money for that purpose, for which the woke press crucified him. He got the full Trump treatment for being decidedly on the side of Mainers, and the Somalis came anyway. The city of Portland now has the requisite crime, the area around the bus station is unsafe, and it’s no longer the Portland we once loved – nor is it affordable or in any way welcoming for any of the Maine natives who once lived there.
No wonder you woke up! Remember when that artist declared Portland to be “hideously White”? He was forced to apologize, but he wasn’t shamed for it by his peers. They all felt the same. Slowly and surely they made their plans against the People of Portland (like the Martians against Earth) and when the time was right, they struck.
I think some of the biggest concentrations of Somalis in the US of A are in Lewiston, Maine. Poor Maine!
I guess the coast is still OK. Because pricey.
@Jarek, It was a learning experience. I wouldn’t have believed people were that duplicitous, and that they had such hatred and contempt for the ordinary working people who gave them their comfortable lives. The hatred for Paul LePage, a former street kid who grew up with every disadvantage and made a life from scratch, was endemic along the wealthy coast. He made the mistake of stating that when you saw a black man driving a Cadillac Escalade in Maine, he was almost certainly not on a ski vacation but was here to sell drugs – a statement which everyone knew was true but which his enemies pretended to be outraged by. Sad times.
Oh is that the guy built like a brick house? Yeah, what great energy. Strong Trump guy. Exactly the type they hate the most.
Portland’s problem is that it’s too close to Boston.
Piglet,
They tried this trick in Oakland California also…maybe the first attempts…in 1970.
Portland is no different than any city in the US and should be avoided. Maine’s population is 90% rural with the majority tending to be conservative. My kind of place.
“Before long, you’ll see blood on the snow.”
We won’t see blood on the snow. Sorry. I love reading Mr. Kunstler’s posts. They are always positive and full of hope that the debauchery that has become America’s governing system will finally be brought to justice.
But it never happens. I’m growing impatient. C’mon already.
The debt alone is going to crush us. However, I do not have faith in Americans to figure this out on their own. When the debt finally crushes our currency and wipes out our savings people will still tune into the Super Bowl, The Voice, The Bachelor and the NBA.
JHK is a breath of hope in an otherwise overwhelming and hopeless battle against the filth of the Federal leviathan. Hence the reason I will keep reading.
Best,
CP
It’s not clear to me if JHK is really that hopeful about our collective future. He did say in his The Long Emergency that, while humankind as a whole will survive, it will only be after taking a beating in many respects — decent behavior, the preservation of knowledge, the number of us around etc.
And frankly, given the current escalation in relations between Russia and NATO, even the mere prospect of mankind’s survival seems a bit doubtful now.
Summing it up
The world supported a billion people in 1900. The green and oil revolutions have allowed the population to grow to 8 billion. When agriculture and FF falter, exactly what do you think is going to happen to 7 billion people..
I know, they will all have forty acres and a mule, right?
That is why those of us who are sane must build our own parallel society. I already have not paid attention to any of those things you mention – Super Bowel, The Voice, etc. Neither do most of my friends.
That stuff is The Truman Show, and can’t really last forever, esp. when people start starving.
This is one of favorite images. The exhausted Buck is surrounded by wolves. He holds them off with his antlers, but for how much longer? The un is setting. Already there is a lurid red glow on the snow. But soon it will be stained with a brighter red.
Need I say more? The Buck is the Old America, the White America. The antlers are the Constitution. The setting sun is the time factor. The night is the end. And the red is blood, both metaphorical and real.
How many here have done anything to stop this? Few. How many here have contributed to it? All.
Debt is meaningless. The masters of the universe can do whatever they want to get the result they desire. They can start over from square one at any time; all that is required is an announcement and general consent.
The entire system runs on all of us agreeing that things work as we are told they work.
Those who run the system have simply decided that when they bring in the new system, it won’t be something that any of us will like. And the trap will spring once they have removed any means for use to continue with the old system.
We are not far away from this point, unfortunately.
It seems those people who have complained to their local councillors about the 15-minute city plans have been pretty much told they can eff off because it’s happening anyway.
The globalists are doing their work through local councils – easy to bribe, I expect.
JHK “The abiding mystery is… why?”
Overshoot, depletion and degradation. The big 3 constraints you yourself addressed almost 20 years ago.
But the big miss was from those who had been subjected to intense institutional brain washing since youth. It is they who incorrectly assumed lack of obvious overt action was the result of ineptitude, and that only they, the intelligent and informed, understood the challenges.
I mean, the label CFN itself encapsulates this arrogance of POV. It took others perhaps a bit more savvy, maybe exposed to how the world actually worked from insights passed along from others in the maw, along with direct personal observation and experience, to clearly see what was occurring.
Now in hindsight it couldn’t be any more obvious. No one will be swayed by excuses like “mistakes were made”. These actions have been deliberate and intentionally carried out to destroy individuals, families, law and cohesive society.
Why? To enable a transition to a controlled, resource starved living state that can support an elite superstructure that will carry on the human project.
A beautiful world for beautiful people is what I am told.
Yes, I’ve been talking to them here for years. They can’t accept that America was founded on violence. And to renounce that violence is like spraying Round Up on their roots. But they continued to do it anyway. No they have no roots, no past, and thus no future.
Of course they believed the alien controlled Media! They had no history anymore, having renounced it after the aliens told them to do so.
Yes, now they know they’ve been lied to. But do they have the Will and the Vitality to dredge their minds and uproot the lies that have been planted there? No, too painful. Too much work. Thus whatever they do will be wrong.
Today they were given the idea of Communism (again!) and they’re off to the races about that nonsense, compliant strings to the touch of the Master.
You should talk about how Gaia has hit its “carrying capacity.”
Then you will sound even more academic.
The only truth here is that there is an elite that wants the planet for itself.
How many suitcases have you destroyed by overstuffing them? I can hear you cursing as you stuff.
You understand so little about me. It is quite amusing.
🙂
I know you don’t accept carrying capacity. That says a lot about you. No limits! Very American in the invidious sense.
I reject your claim that we are at carrying capacity, and that you have any idea what that even is.
You admitted that over-population could happen. What determines that? Carrying capacity.
Churchill once asked an obnoxious female questioner if she would sell herself for a hundred pounds (or something). She said, it would have to be far more than that. He replied in triumph, We now know what you are. The rest is just bargaining.
Similarly, you have admitted carrying capacity. Now we are just bargaining.
What is the earth’s carrying capacity, Jarek?
All the word salads in the world can’t save you.
As you said, when it gets to be over-populated. When key resources are being used up too quickly to provide a decent standard of life for the population – or any life at all for other species.
We’re at the limit now and must cut back the population – or Nature will do it for us.
You don’t like it. You want to climb the Pyramid. Too bad. You should have incarnated fifty years earlies.
“Climb the pyramid”
I work from home and spend most of my time playing guitar and doing stuff with my son.
Even if I didn’t make much money, I would have found a way to get what I needed.
Anyways, what is the carrying capacity of the earth? You claimed we surpassed it.
You are so quiet when pressed.
“The only truth here is that there is an elite that wants the planet for itself.”
This is the bottom line, the core of the apple, the crux, the summary.
We should all remember that when there is an enormous disastrous toxic chemical spill, we should burn it and not speak a word of it, and keep it out of the headlines. Especially when it happens in a poor town with poor people.
A friend just told me that they intentionally blew it up – WTF?
I didn’t know that. I have not been paying much attention to that disaster. Sounds bad, though. I wonder if it was intentional.
They’re apparently attempting a controlled burn to avoid a larger explosion.
I believe the county where the train wreck occurred voted 70% for Trump in 2020. Maybe Biden and Secretary Peter Butt aren’t interested in helping those folks in alleviating their plight which was a thread somewhere on Twitter land over the weekend. Plausible conspiracy theory IMO.
Intentional or not, many heads would have rolled in another time.
Also never forget how the Army Corps of Engineers dumped thousands of tons of debris on the site where Kennewick Man was found. His existence disturbed the narrative the Elite are invested in. That Caucasians were here early on, perhaps before the Mongolians, is not useful to them at all. So bury it.
Compare that with the Chinese who found the remains of advanced Whites in Eastern China. The evidence shows that they helped create early China before being destroyed or driven out by the “grateful” proto-Chinese. But did the Chinese destroy the site? No. They don’t like the findings, but they have too much integrity to do something like that.
They found actual Mummies, dressed in Celtic type tweeds, red and blonde haired, with the men approaching seven feet tall. The Nazi archeologists were looking for something like this. But the Chinese actually found it.
It accords with their earliest records of their ancestors fighting dog eyes (blue eyes) in that area.
Celts aren’t tall.
Perhaps you’re thinking of the little dark people they conquered (the Jasmines). Or the middle statured people who were the first to enter the British Isles after the Ice Age. Some of them red haired, perhaps from the Neanderthals. Or other groups.
The original, continental Celts as described by classical writers? Tall. But yes, not that tall.
Leave it to you to focus on one little element in my post. Do you know anything about the mummies found in Eastern China? Do you want to know anything?
If one element in your post is nonsense (I”m not saying it is, just casting doubt because we have Celts her and in Ireland and they are known to be shorter than e.g. Anglo-Saxons or Nordics), then your source is quite possibly unreliable.
“Do you want to know anything?”
I would say I don’t want to believe everything you say at face value because you have a clear agenda and you have to be particularly careful with ‘information’ put out by people with clear agendas.
You are interested in negating my post. That’s your interest. Petty revenge from a petty person.
You don’t have any agenda except being a booster for the pre-Covid Establishment – when they were still in the planning stage, but weakening social cohesion by mass 3rd World immigration (that includes refugees you nit picking vampire). You’re on record as being all for that.
Btw, I didn’t say they Mummies were Celts per se, but dressed like them. A common origin perhaps.
I did not ever one single time speak in favour of mass immigration or mass refugee settlement. You continue to be a disgusting liar. And you will never change.
Yes you did. To prove to the world that we had changed. “That we could do better.”
I did not. You remain a disgusting liar.
And, not only that, but everyone knows it.
Come back with the quote.
According to Diodorus Siculus:
The Gauls are tall of body with rippling muscles and white of skin and their hair is blond, and not only naturally so for they also make it their practice by artificial means to increase the distinguishing colour which nature has given it. For they are always washing their hair in limewater and they pull it back from the forehead to the nape of the neck, with the result that their appearance is like that of Satyrs and Pans since the treatment of their hair makes it so heavy and coarse that it differs in no respect from the mane of horses. Some of them shave the beard but others let it grow a little; and the nobles shave their cheeks but they let the moustache grow until it covers the mouth.
Shame on you.
Neat deflection, lying toad.
Your the one who brought up the height of Celts, you miserable, petty fool.
Celts aren’t tall. If they used to be and got shorter relative to everyone else that would be bizarre. I was merely questioning the reliability of your source generally.
And the quote I was looking for was the one you lied about for the 10th time.
Toad.
But they are good looking?
Google the beauty of Loulan. Or the mummies of the Tarim Basin.
IMHO there is no conspiracy at all, whether deep or creep. It’s just a bunch of megalomaniacs chasing virtue points with no plan. They may wax ineloquently about their plan to evolve humanity to their ideal [with ‘them’ in charge] but it all really boils down to what I said when I met Biden a couple of decades ago: “He’s an asshole that thinks he knows everything.”
Whether it’s the Public Health Officials (PHOs pronounced faux] creating narratives, not to protect the huddles masses, but, to project their power upon same or the MIC creating chaos to increase consumption of weapons or Big Pharma introducing interative, “cures/vaccines/etc.” for whatever they have caused with the previous solution… It’s all just a bunch of assholes that think they know everything.
My thoughts exactly, JC Penny. Hubris, greed, ignorance at all levels of ‘leadership’ especially but not limited to the US.
Yup. But that ‘leadership’ is representative:
Had a discussion with a very distant relative over the holidays. She was one of the Insurrectionists a couple years back – she was there – so using the current DOJ’s legal limbo: Associating = Guilt.
Whenever I countered her claim of meticulous coordination of the global malfeasance [not quite the way she phrased it], she would just jump to another posit from a Rumble Professor.
Hubris and ignorance for sure… Not quite sure if the greed is representative or endemic.
They know much. The chaos? They know how to rebound from that too. If it convinces people that the Globalists are fools and clowns, then it has worked in their favor, right?
It could work in our favor, but not if we take your tack.
There are whitepapers, wargame documents, and Powerpoint presentations on the various plans being carried out.
Don’t trouble yourself with any of it though. It is much easier to just ignore it.
” It’s just a bunch of megalomaniacs chasing virtue points with no plan. ”
I don’t think that’s true at all. They’ve been planning this for decades, if not for centuries.
You can listen to this 3-part interview with an Agenda 2030 researcher, Sandi Adams, who got hold of the early publications by the UN/Club of Rome etc., that you can’t even find any more and they have planned a 200-year programme. Everything is set out in detail, since the 1970s.

Great session.
Should be required viewing, TBH.
I just watched it again – amazing how much is in it. I’d almost suggest to short-haulers that they start with Part 3 then go back to Parts 1 and 2. I watched Part 1 again a few days ago and am just starting to watch Part 2 again.
Sandi A. got into this quite accidentally. She was an animations artist, I think, and ended up creating sets for futuristic events that were organised by people like Bill Gates, whom she met. It led her to quit what she was doing and start looking into this stuff.
As a Brit I find it’s useful to have what’s going on explained by someone so ordinary and down to earth, because you can pass this on to someone knowing it’s not going to be a turnoff for people who would not be receptive to Alex Jones types – or even Stew Peters, who I feel means well but is a bit hysterical in his presentation, which puts people off who are not used to even thinking about what goes on behind the scenes.outside of MSM narratives.
Half edited at the end, sorry. Should just have been ‘who are not used to even thinking about what goes on outside of MSM narratives’.
Yes, I agree entirely.
GA: Thanks for the link.
I had not heard of this.
I’ll watch after I do my day’s work quota.
There was a time I might have worried about aliens coming after us, but that time is long past. These days my initial thought is “what are the satanists trying to distract me from.” Lots of possibilities. One thing they’re doing is normalizing the shooting off of missiles over my neighborhood. This is new and different. I suspect we’ll see a lot more of them in the future. Some might have red stars instead of eagles on the side. Could be. Probably.
I remember a few years back a house on the south side of Indianapolis blew up. Natural gas explosion, they said, but I’m not so sure, especially now that there are missiles zipping over our homes on a daily basis. You can find pictures of the debris field from that explosion online. No natural gas explosion leaves craters where houses used to sit. Wasn’t nattie. I wonder what leaves craters. I wonder what it could have been.
Hi Liz,
Missiles zipping over our homes on a daily basis…?
I had a female friend who thought that some of the Elite were living in Boston’s Big Dig.
Does anybody know when the “opposition” party will call for the arrest of the pedophile in chief for conducting an illegal act of war in the Baltic Sea?
Gosh, I can’t wait to see justice prevail!
They are too busy hyperventilating over weather balloons.
Yeah the Republicans are being totally ridiculous. Of all the things to worry about, and they choose muh balloon.
What was the name of the balloon in the prisoner? Was it Roger?
Rover
Thank you. These balloons are Rovers.
There are no opposition parties, either in the US or in Europe.
On a bright note, I was wondering what happened to the peace movement, and come to find out, there is in fact an “emergent” anti-war movement.

Once they realize that the Good People are behind the Wars, they’ll shut up again. The PNAC organization, and the Israeli paper, Securing the Realm, were opening people’s eyes and the Democrats shut it down accordingly. Criticizing the War Industry is one thing, but the good people? No one dares to do that.
We are occupied by a hostile force, that is for sure.
Our government is controlled by an elite band of criminal psychopaths, the same ones who deindustrialized the US, starting in the 80s, by moving productive capacity over to a country with a billion peasants willing to work for peanuts.
The peasants used that productive capacity to improve their lives and now are accused of plotting against us for the last 40 years?
Sorry, not buying it. It was pure greed that made our owners move production to China and it is pure greed that keeps the borders open to cheap labor here and pure greed that drives the destruction and murder of the remnants of what we used to call the middle class in America.
Quite so. The Government didn’t make the Corporations betray the American people. They were all too willing to do on their own. Poor John Az can’t overcome this dichotomy. He still thinks the Capitalist arm of the Beast is good! And you still think the Communism arm is good. You two should be married.
less is more. HEY that’s my street! HjLpOIUjkOUYTQn
The reason IMO it is so hard to pinpoint who is behind all this is because there are various groups involved for a wide variety of reasons.
A lot of environmentalist types really believe that they are in it for the environment.
Speaking of environmental issues, there is a lot of poisoning and polluting going on in Ohio, in an area with a lot of farmland, and I have heard reports of dead livestock. but not from the MSM.
Someone told me a farmer lost a lot of chickens.
Yeah I think that is a much bigger deal than is being reported.
The people in the Capstone of the Pyramid. The Bankers and the Stakeholders of the Corporations.
Icke presents a great model of sub-pyramids (every key industry and area of life). Those in the capstones of the sub-pyramids are probably in the great Capstone. And of course, the Capstone itself is a pyramid….
” The titanic wave of Woke lunacy was hatched in the universities over many decades — places easily infiltrated by malign agents —”
Mr, Kunstler,
It has been said that the only three bastions of true communism in the World today are North Korea, Cuba, and the Harvard Faculty Lounge….
Great column today. To ascribe the uncountable outrages against our culture being due to “stupidity” obfuscates the malign agenda under which we currently suffer.
In the Cultural Wars, we are about to be awarded the second place cup, wherein the Socratic cocktail awaits.
“
I did a Zoom call with my family over the weekend. My son said that he is taking a vacation to Germany.
I said “Better learn how to say “I’m sorry my country blew up your pipelines” in German then”.
They all just stared at me. I didn’t want to start a fight by asking why.
Is it possible that they don’t know that the US blew up Germany’s pipelines?
“Is it possible that they don’t know that the US blew up Germany’s pipelines?”
We have similar heritage. Mine probably think Nord Stream 2 is a discount chain run by Nordstroms.
And they like it that way.
“Mine probably think Nord Stream 2 is a discount chain run by Nordstroms.”
.. . Had to lol reading *that* !
.. . been a while. Thanks.
You’re welcome.
The Will to Ignorance. Thanatos – Freud’s death impulse.
You failed to convert your children? You have failed indeed! Are they Capitalists too?
Not only do most people not know the US is the one who blew up the Nordstream pipelines. Most Americans don’t know that they were blown up.
It’s that bad.
You are right.
I texted my son to ask him privately. He said that he knew the US blew up the pipelines and he had read the Hersh story, but really, who else would have done it? Damn straight, kid!
So, I didn’t fail there. He believes the official story of 9-11 though.
Aaarrggh.
Paula,
You are halfway home and a good mom!
That’s Dad’s side?
No, my husband and I both know that 9-11 was an inside job.
Was Pearl Harbor also an inside job?
I ask because we knew it was coming just not the when.
Same with 9-11 I believe they simply let it happen for the crisis event and all the things that could be done in the name of security.
The official narrative is full of holes but so is the Conspiracy the government done it.
I know a lady that saw the actual airplane that cratered into the pentagon that day she worked in a DEA building across the street from it and was out smoking or something.
I don’t get the point.
The Green-SPD government coalition would approve of the destruction, as they claim we are at war with Russia.
And according to the Hersh piece, Scholz (SPD) went along with it. I have no doubt whatsoever that this was indeed the case.
The governing coalition is working to destroy the country.
I run a non-profit in my area that fights the intrusion of developers in our rural areas. One member is German, and I asked her about what the German people think about all of this. She said about half the people understand what the USA is up to, and the other half thinks Putin is the next Hitler. She say’s it’s causing a lot of hard feelings between friends and family.
I didn’t watch the Superbowl but I never did. I often see the halftime show though.
This year I didn’t, but I couldn’t help but see a lot of the pre-game publicity for Rhianna, and it made me realize something.
Madonna is copying her look, in a weird Michael Jackson in reverse fashion.
Isn’t it interesting how mental illness changes as the culture does?
Health of our nation? Just walk into any Starbucks (or other venue) to note the ratio of hideously overweight compared to trim & fit patrons. Easily from that comparison emotional/psychological/intellectual parallels can be drawn. Folks, don’t expect our nation to get its’ fat, willfully ignorant ass off the couch with haste..
It was not so long ago that our government was putting it out there that UFOs just might be really and putting a picture of a fuzzy image on a fuzzy radar screen out as evidence.
As if people have forgotten, and as if millions of Americans don’t know we have better technolgy that we had in the 1940s and we don’t get images that fuzzy anymore.
I think Rob Reiner is just plain nuts and nobody has noticed.
Well, both Archie and Rush tried to warn everyone by calling him “Meathead”.
I noticed it years ago.
I noticed it but progressives all tend to be crazy.
The artistic types typically are a little unhinged.
Interesting. We send Nancy Pelosi over to Taiwan, and the Chinese send us a weather balloon. Ironic that they’re both full of hot air.
It is absolutely amazing that an environmental disaster of epic proportions can be so completely kept out of the news.
I’m not talking about the blowing up of the pipelines, I’m talking about the burning of thousands of gallons of toxic vinyl chloride and other deadly chemicals in Ohio.
Apparently, because it is only affecting white people it is considered their just deserts and so not important enough to report on.
Luckily we have social media. Here’s a Twitter and a TikTok report on the disaster. You won’t get it on CNN. In Jimmy’s video you can see a reporter being arrested for trying to do a report.

Will anyone remember this a week or two from now? Or will it give way to the latest?
That derailment is actually old news. It occured Feb 3 and the story was carried by the MSM. No one was injured and the residents are back home. I think it was handled well and the outcome could have been MUCH worse. The controled release and burning of the vinyl chloride was probably the best option and went as planned. Much pollution yes but what are you going to do? People would be horrified if they knew all the stuff that was being moved through their neighborhoods on a regular basis. Remember Bhopal? now that was a disaster.
Yes, nothing cleanses like fire – right down to the molecular level. Water is nothing in comparison. Surfaces. White washed tomb type stuff.
I actually had to attend disaster classes and drills. We have a railroad going through the center of town. But we were focused on learning to read and apply the MDSD sheets, not how to deal with a spill.
It seems to me that every state should have a plan to deal with these situations. At least have tanker trucks with pumps to empty out the rail tankers. They don’t have to let it all spill out and then burn it, if they had the equipment available.
Not old news, more like developing news. And of course, not that simple or cut & dried.

“I’m waiting for Rob Reiner’s head to explode when he starts to notice how many young SAG-AFTRA members are waking up dead in West Hollywood.”
Yuk. Yuk. Good riddance.
He may not notice. He hadn’t any clue about Harvey Weinstein.
They are all Harvey Weinsteins until proven gay.
“But until a few years ago these organizations had no real influence on the world. They were bad jokes… only pretending to protect the global community’s interests… actually completely incapable, utterly incompetent.”
Yes, not just a few a grains of truth in that.
“All the usual totemic tropes the Deep State employs to intimidate its opponents — Russia, white supremacy, right-wing extremism, racism, misogyny, transphobia, blah blah — have lost their power to scare the non-insane.”
Yes, indeed. When I hear the yap yap yap of the wokies and the covid death-culters with their insistance that the jabs saved the world, and cries of systemic racism I just tune out. They have lost their minds. No reason to give them any energy.
You are always raving about white supremacy, racism, but not transphobia.
Happy Terfmas!

Re trans stuff, Mary, this is a most excellent essay by the mother of a trans person (FtM) – neither mother nor trans offspring believes in gender ideology. Should be required reading in all universities.
padrian.substack.com/p/i-dont-believe-in-astrology-does/comments#comment-12762440
Thanks, GA. That is very heart-breaking, and I see so many similar stories. I mean like 1000s over the past few years.
So disheartening.
FtM is heartbreaking. MtF is enraging. Thus they show their true colors.
Both are heartbreaking – unless of course the fully transitioned person is perfectly happy, in which case it is not up to us to use words like heartbreaking, when no hearts are broken, even if we don’t approve.
However, the point of the article is that neither the mother nor the trans offspring believes in gender ideology. The transitioned offspring fully accepts that s/he is an adult female, though surgically transitioned to male.
I actually DO live in West Hollywood. At the peak of the pandemic I was walking down the middle of the street and a screechy witch yelled at me for not wearing a mask. I was 20 feet away from her in 90 degree weather in bright sunshine. I kid you not—-I told her to go home and curl up and die. My exact words. I’m so sweet. Anyway, West Hollywood is pretty tolerant these days. It’s the San Gabriel Valley area just west of downtown that is masking up still. You still see people driving alone in their cars masked up and walking down deserted suburban streets at 7am with their faces covered
Interesting. I grew up in Pasadena but haven’t been back for several years. I don’t miss it a bit.
the buzz is we ho was the most vaxed town in el ay. yes?
I laugh.
Never was there a more apt nickname for a completely defiled geographic area than “we ho”. Yes, you do ho (whore).
Aaah…California, aka Kamalafornication. They deserve Kamala, Maxine, Nancy, Gavin, Rob, Whoopi and all the rest of the sciopathic purveyors of bullshit. Archie Bunker was right, the whole fucking state should suffer an earthquake and slip into the Pacific.. Or if thats too wistful, secession.
Wanna see what the old California looked like and the cars they were driving in the 50’s? Check out a you tube video of a classic tv series called “Highway Patrol”. You’ll see many views of the Ca that was ruined and paved over with urban sprawl.

And to think I aborted my mission to take down the Lake Huron Octagon because someone told me it was only Cheech and Chong gettin’ high in a ’64 Volkswagen Beetle.
Spent the whole afternoon, sitting on my lawn chair, downing that six-pack, huffing the helium from 500 balloons, and singing Up, Up and Away!
Yeah, that story fell apart on closer examination. Every seasoned aviator knows that the VW Beetle was never available in a pressurized version, so the service ceiling was only 10K ft, no matter how high the occupants might be.
Kunstler has told us for many years that he is allergic to all forms of conspiracy theory.
He was, in fact, being a coincidence theorist.
I’m glad to see that he is finally waking up.
The history of the world is one conspiracy after another. To be metaphorically allergic to conspiracy theories is rather silly.
Visited Waterloo over the weekend. Went to the museum. Revisiting the history of the French Revolution and Napoleon’s coup; how it was planned and executed, etc.; reminded me that history is repetitive.
People get together and plan shit. On our timeline, we are witnessing the results of people with a lot of money and little else to do execute their own little conspiracy.
The only difference with the past is in the scale.
“Didn’t you get the feeling this weekend that we’re living in HG Wells’ classic tale of the earth invaded by sinister alien spacecrafts?”
Truth be told, our World was invaded by ‘aliens’ a long time ago. By those who lust to rule over us and control every aspect of our lives and thoughts. By those who want to Own Everything and see the we-the-people Own Nothing. By those who promote toxins in our skies, toxins in our food and water, toxins going into our bloodstreams, and toxins pouring out of State Media, Hollywood, Weaponized Anti-Social Media, and toxins pumped into the minds of our children by State Miseducation Systems.
All brought to you by the now-aliens who are not the least bit human. Or if they once were… that they deliberately and willingly morphed away from a long time ago to turn into the ‘things’ that they are now. ‘Things’ more worthy of being seen on places like the Svengoolie campy horror program or one of those 1950s movies that feature grotesque, over-sized bugs that try to take over the World. (Hey Grotesque Bugs? You still want to take over the World? Good. You can have it now… we can’t fix it. We made a bigger mess of things than you ever could.)
“Why turn Western Civilization upside down and inside out and then try to pound the whole thing down a rat-hole?”
Because ‘They’ hate life. They hate anything that lives. They hate anything that is good and right. And deep down inside… They hate Themselves.
They ascended to places of power and influence because they are predators. They are bullies. They live to hurt and punish others. They feed off pain and misery… so long as it isn’t Their own. They hate this World and They hate all of us who inhabit it. They believe the whole Planet is Their property just like those who ‘settled’ the Old West and threw out all the lives of those who already lived their for generations. Blood lust for power drunks.
“The Superbowl is over.”
But the wreckage and mental torture and abuse it exists to foster is just taking root this morning in the clouded minds of Americans after the four-hour-long-mind-eff. Planting rows and rows of Wokeness and Race-baiting and propaganda and mind control and spiritual sewage that will have to hold us until next year. Well actually, not that long. Just turn on the Idiot Box right now – or anytime – when you need a fix.
I think you speak of the Lizard People, like in the 80s scifi series ‘V’. Yes, they are amongst us.
“so long as it isn’t their own”
With that I disagree. What’s the top is obtained there is no corruption that isn’t manipulated. What I mean is, they do in fact hate, they do in fact live to punish others, but they will never remember you and me, so to speak,
they think there is some semblance of light there…if you believe in an afterlife…but there can’t be. Iniquity is good to them. It’s the whole trans agenda. The devil speaks the truth, but it’s all a lie in the end. (He offers the easy way out not the narrow path.).. Some ways to go, grasshopper…:)

“You’d have more reason to suspect that those outfits were fronting for something else, and that something might be the CCP. ”
Listen, does it make sense that CCP is controlling the United States which is gearing up to attempt to destroy same in its undeterred century long mission of global domination? No. The CCP is playing the United States, yes. But the whole gang, CCP, USA and every other major power is “fronting” for something called 5G which happened to come out on the same day as something called ‘Corona-Virus’ which is caused by the same thing that causes ALL modern diseases namely, Radiation. Your cold is caused by radiation, your cancer is caused by radiation, polio, heart disease, diabetes = radiation poisoning.
Mr. Kunstler and everybody else, your job is to tell me why I should consider ANYTHING other than 5G as the cause of the pandemic that was PREDICTED by those who said it would be a public health disaster. Correlation does not equal causation but prediction is the hallmark of any successful theory and the 5G apocalypse happened right on queue. So the case is closed. Prove me wrong?
I hate to tell you folks but don’t depend on the citizens of the United States to bail you out. Most listen to fake news and believe the economy is great and our Commander-in-Chief got 81 million votes.

Support your local politician, they love you!
God Bless America!
Well…..I don’t know about the 81 million votes thingy, but you’re right about not depending on fellow Americans.

It’s infuriating watching this mark-to-zero trash levitate to infinity because Nicky T. tweeted again.
I didn’t reject the vaxx due to orneriness. At first I had my doubts about an alleged vaccine for a coronavirus being developed in a hurry. Who wouldn’t? Anyone over the age of twelve should have been skeptical.
Then when I leaned what they had in mind, the mRNA jab, which is not a vaccine, it’s experimental gene therapy, of course I wouldn’t partake.
BTW, it’s now been revealed (it was always known to those of us who looked) that of course the spike protein doesn’t stay in your arm. Why would anybody ever have believed otherwise.
This was always, always known.
Anyway, this was Alex Berenson’s take on those who resisted:
Turns out Team Reality’s true stalwarts – we who saw the idiocy of lockdowns by April 2020 AND refused the mRNAs – share more temperament than ideology.
The temperament: ornery, cynical, and unwilling to go along to get along.

The Diamond Princess numbers, along with the mRNA jab datasheets told me everything I needed to know.
Back in January 2020, I was watching TV with my mom, NBC Nightly News with underwear model David Muir, when they showed video of people collapsing in mid-run, and being welded into their apartments in China. My mom said, “That’s ridiculous.” I said, “They’re showing us this because they’re bringing it here.”
Then I read about the “isolation” of the virus by the Chinese – 9 samples (2 eventually rejected), unpurified – and the flagrant violations of protocol.
Then I read about Drosten and his PCR test – and the flagrant violations of protocol.
By the summer of 2020 I knew the only pandemic we were experiencing was a pandemic of lies.
Then came the “vaccines”, and “Warp Speed!“. No one with 2 brain cells to rub together should have been fooled…
If only it had been about not being fooled!
Folks had families, or a career to consider, or job/money issues – I can see a situation where folks just didn’t want to go there. i.e. DENIAL
I agree. I was fooled for like a week, but even then I was leery.
You did good.
Hooray for your mom!
I’m cynical, but I don’t have an ornery personality (even if it looks like it up here sometimes).
But I am extremely unwilling to go along to get along. I will go along when it makes sense to me, and otherwise, nope.

It’s just crime. We don’t have a government anymore, we have organized crime gangs in DC. And they’ve captured the FBI and military. Historically, only outside invasion topples these kinds of regimes.
A “Banana Republic” without the bananas, if you will.
The leaders are bananas…
Which is why I advise anyone to relax; events are now completely out of our control.
Look at the long history of failed empires and regimes. The Germans knew it was over by 1944 and wondered/hoped it wouldn’t be that bad. So too the Soviets in 1989, and all other prisoners of “their” own governments waiting for the other shoe to drop.
When the state becomes too powerful for domestic resistance, help can only come from another equally powerful outside player. Ironic that now the west waits for the 3rd Rome to be their savior.
All I can say is watch the dollar – it’s the fail safe holding the Titanic together. (It’s down 7.5% against the peso of all things if that doesn’t tell you something.) Wait for the BRIC market basket trading mechanism to increase trading volume.

Envision China taking over, or even Russia, what do you think would change for the individual American? Would we be grateful for the eradication of the Deep State Mob?
Would the globalist WEF take over with its Elites? Or would globalist BRICS take over? The next WW could be between these two with the US ( North America) as the spoils.
John AZ,
Well, it is hard to imagine.
We have some idea what the Germans thought as they watched the Russians coming from the East and the Yanks and Brits from the West (I doubt any Germans really welcomed the Frogs).
We know that Germans in the East (Prussia) fled west so as not to end up “hosting” Russian soldiers.
the populations movements at the end of WW2 are a whole topic in themselves. Millions of Germans died.
What would happen within a collapsed USA? I think a breakup into different fiefdoms and the slow emergence of local governments vaguely based on what we have now. Cadres to guard and run energy resources. With plenty of skirmishes to get rid of unwanted demographics. Not pretty, for sure.
It is hard to picture any version of functional American society without plenty of internal combustion engines and fuel for them. How many electrical engineers will be around to spin the turbines? .
One needs the means, the tools, to protect themselves (+ family & community) and their property (means to day-to-day survival).
JHK, every bit of todays post spoke to me, you are on fire, & so is the earth.
As concerns ufos or balloons, psyops though they may be, I found it phsychologcally telling that the ‘in charge’ church lady, who could only say, ‘No, no. No.’ When I pointed out the original balloonish thing to her, grabbed me and said, ‘The ufo we saw was a spy balloon!’
So only when the msm news confirmed for her it was not a ufo, but rather a spy balloon, coyld she own our sighting.
Then I asked if she saw when it caught the sun, as if in a mirror so bright I had to look away, then as the suns rays left it appeared metallic and as Monty Python would say, ‘Thin at one end, thicker in the middle, and thin again at the other end.’
‘No’, she said, ‘I didn’t see anything else.’
I am so suspicious that the Deep State is hiding something with these “things” floating around. I thinks the Mob has cooked up something with China, Biden’s at the forefront, and if it weren’t for the two obserning photogs in Montana, we would no even know about these “things”.
How do you beat a satellite spy system? By using “things” the satellites cannot see. Is there a “focal length” to the satellites that makes things at 40 to 60000 feet transparent?
One of the resident experts on Fox this morning was wondering if we send balloons over China and Russia to spy? Does the shooting down of these four mean the agreement is over, are balloons obsolete? Is one of the tools of the world’s power elite gone? Will radar be scanning the skies again?
Too bad.
John, It’s right there… in Oz it was pay no attention to the man behind the curtain….. now we have balloons. Do we need Toto to pull back the curtain?
I proudly proclaim myself the only cockeyed optimist on this blog.
Pie-eyed might have been the expression you were looking for, but you go either way, lo’ t!
The Georgia Guidestones recommended a total human population of 500 million.
The Guidestones were bombed in the past year, and despite a video of the perpetrator, and the vehicle, no arrests have been made.
Every cult, even the climate cult, demands a martyr. Perhaps leaving room for nature with the crumbling Guidestones will be a part of a pilgrimage exercise whilst promoting fitness and diversity.
But first come the mark of the beast to buy and sell.
I am going out to get eggs to pickle, nuts, food that lasts.
God speed folks.
Living chickens eat ticks and maggots. Help yourself.
I’ll pass on the ticks. Maggots have some health uses, which might be a renewed treatment on the horizon.
RE: This week’s column. IMO, the Chinese are not “behind” WEF and co.
There is and has been an alliance of sorts. China is the model of the technocratic digital plantation state. Klausi said so himself recently.
They are using China like they used the US for decades. They need a hegemon as a base of operations and manpower.
I said this before: The aim is to end the West and take Russia. If the West falls, Russia is the last remaining obstacle.
China will be left, but it will not be run by the Chinese if WEF and co. get their way.
Also the idea that WEF were powerless not long ago is laughable. They are a front for the banks, and they have steadily infiltrated academia and, ultimately, national governments surely but steadily.
T
NO:
“Also the idea that WEF were powerless not long ago is laughable. ”
True, that did make me laff.
But ya gotta admit, JHK has come a long way!
Yeah, BRICS+ vs. WEF. One of the two is behind the flooding of the US and Europe with non-European darker lower IQ peoples.
If the WEF it is to bring the Elite into control while creating a permanent subclass for labor, AKA feudalism
If BRICS+, it is to bring in the BRICS+ folks to just take over.
BRIC+ is already on the high road, just in numbers and resource control.
So if BRICS+ wins, then the fight will continue to be between China, India and Russia for global domination. It will be based on homogeniety of the peoples, the way Europe used to be, and on language. Mutts like the US have no identity culture to fight for.
Sidebar
There is a laugh. If someone went after the US, a large portion of the “American people” couldn’t even understand each other.
If BRICS+ were to take over the US tomorrow, how many Americans would join a fight against them. Heck, right now, we have a government that believes in most of what BRICS+ stands for and “81 million” of us voted for it.
Now that we’ve succeeded in pissing-off the entire world, let’s get this party started!
Pat Tillmans ghost, sorry bud, you got screwed but, you’re in good company,…like everybody else that ain’t a member of “the Club”…
They always leave out the part where he gets killed by friendly fire and the Army tired to cover it up. He was a real “hero,” alright. HOO-RAH!
“He was a real “hero,” alright. HOO-RAH!”
Disaffected,
He volunteered…left millions of dollars on the table and fought for his country. He was a hero in my eyes.
What would you like to do Dys, a pencil necked commie. Don’t hold back. Tell us how you feel.
I agree with you. It’s not his fault. Or even the Army’s, necessarily. Such things happen. The tragicomic aspect of life. Occultist Israel Regardie, a wonderful man by all accounts, dying with his face in a soup bowl after a bone got stuck in his throat.
Or the EMP story about the guy getting a blow job in the back of a van that crashed. She inadvertently bites off his dick. I think they were able to reattach it. All’s well that ends well, eh? Unlike with poor Pat.
To fight an illegitimate war on behalf a cabal of liars. Stupid bastard that got used going and coming. Yes, of course the authorities lionized him. Would that all of their subjects be that stupid.
Dis,
Count me as stupid.
“Our government is playing the story like a bassoon concerto.“
Why did JHK choose to allude to the “bassoon”?
Didn’t Jeffrey Epstein play the bassoon when he was in high school?
According to Whitney Webb’s excellent book, “One Nation Under Blackmail”, Jeffrey Epstein may have been recruited by the CI…A at an early age like (like Obama) through one of those high school “Gifted Kids” programs?
ClusterFuck Nation….being invaded by Space Aliens…
WOW!!!!
What a movie!
I was 12 when two men in suits & shiny black shoes came into my ‘Homeroom’. They spoke with my teacher who then called me to the front and told me to go with the two men. We went to the principals office, I thought I was in deep shit.
Fact of the matter was, they asked me if I wanted to join five other kids, each of whom had a unique capability, (mine was languages and ‘retention’ skills). When I saw that Shelly and Sonja were also selected, I couldn’t say yes fast enough!
I made it through the rest of the school year but I couldn’t do the Math, I found that I understood the logic of Math a week after the quiz. lol
The program was called “accelerated”. Our teachers had degrees specific to the course they taught us. Some were grad level but I never found out if MS or Phd. They didn’t say anything to my parents.
The other kids in my class (outside of the program) excluded me from the old “gang”. They wanted me to help them on assignments but, I didn’t have the time. I was learning French and Spanish simultaneously my vocabulary was exploding. They called it Polyglot.
At the beginning of the next year they had automatically put me with the same group. I told them I didn’t want to be in the program anymore. That’s when they called my mom.
Wait. Don’t leave it there. What did they say to your mom?
As I recall from her, she went to school and met with the Principal. He tried to get her to commit to me staying w/ the program. She decided to let me choose. Many years later we realized there was a nice fat check from D.C. for every kid in the program.
My mom’s gone now but she let me choose because it was obvious to her that I was going nuts. My father was a chronic alky, given to extremes, but mom finally had enough one night and threw him down the stairs. She was a big ol’ Ranch girl and knew how to tackle a problem, (as my father found out..).
The other kids in the program turned out to be normal, good citizens. Nothing stellar, one became a Prof. at a midwest Uni. one became a Stewardess, the others evaporated from my life.
My languages had served me well but, I don’t leave the country anymore and it’s like with everything else; either use it, or lose it.
Thanks, bad, that is very interesting.
So the other kids stayed in the grooming program but weren’t used by the government at adulthood?
Or were they? Professor can indoctrinate the younger generation and stewardess can eavesdrop on conversations. Guess they can’t all be put into the White House.
Just speculating.
They’re showing a 3D version of the movie “Titanic” now to celebrate Valentines Day and the 25th anniversary of the release of the movie….
It was the first time that I have been able to eat salty buttered popcorn and fart in a crowded movie theatre in 3 years because of the Covid mass Psychosis lockdowns. By sleight of hand, they have stripped us of fundamental rights (Freedom of Movement and bodily autonomy) under the guise of a specious health emergency.
I’ve always thought that Leonardo DiCaprio’s banal character, “Jack Dawson” got shafted in the film…
As the three men who opposed the Federal Reserve
As in ‘there are no coincidences’.
Rose walked away with the “Heart-of-the-Ocean” big blue diamond, and “Jack” sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
Jack never saw any of that money….
Neither did Rose. She throws the diamond into the ocean (as an octogenarian) late in the movie.
She did get to live a full life though.
That wasn’t the real diamond tossed into the sea. As Cameron explains in the director’s cut, the real diamond was lifted by Consuela, her caregiver and replaced by a phony. Rose always suspected that Consuela was pilfering her valuables and ironically the theft prevented a senile Rose from doing something wasteful and tragic.
Where did Rose keep that big, heavy, klunky blue diamond for 60 years? In her brassiere?
Rose ended up married to an Iowa hog farmer?
How does that story make any sense in the Real World?
Rose was basically a female “Forrest Gump” and Jack Dawson was “Jenny”?
Or, was Rose “Jenny” and Jack was “Forrest Gump”?
Brilliant Puck. Rose had a great life, just like Jenny. Gump was a sacrifice, just waiting for her to return – as she finally did when dying.
Jack also sacrificed himself, so Rose could have a great life.
The ideal romantic relationship with a man for most women is for the pining handsome male to sacrifice himself for the woman, preferably with the Nincompoop male freezing to death and then sinking to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean while the woman walks away with a huge, bulbous blue diamond?
That’s a Good Deal….
In real life, no woman gets the best of DiCaprio. He dates beautiful women for awhile then goes onto the next one. Never been married. Incapable of falling love? Or wise as a fox? Or are the two the same thing?
“Forces are aligning now to shake this creaking system down to its foundation.”
Slowly, then all at once.
Be certain, though, that the result will be that the government accumulates even more power.
There are a few of us with enough ammo and supplies to hold out a few months, but most will be desperate after a few days and will be thankful for whoever brings order. Because of my health and age I moved to a town (pop 15,000) a few years ago and it would take a lot to get me to run to my bugout hole, but I think I can outlast the majority with my supplies. I will most likely be like the majority and just wait for the government to assert itself. I am confident it will, whether I like it or not.
Not necessarily, harkening back to Joseph Tainter’s work on collapse of complex societies (book of the same name c.1988) it gets chaotic as the top-heavy society collapses on itself.
There might a warlord type rise to power, make it plural… warlords… and we’re back to somewhere around the time before the Treaty of Westphalia.
“They got it for deplorable white folk. Once that is done, everything else is easy to manage and pay off.” – OPINION
I was impressed – actually dismayed – by the way the gov-thugs disarmed the citizenry in New Orleans after Katrina. People had guns in their homes – what for, if they were willing to just turn them in when politely asked to do so?
“This much is true: Among the flailing, ineffective, often extrajudicial responses New Orleans authorities mounted after Katrina’s landfall, one was to attempt to keep guns, legal or otherwise, off the streets. It started as disorder spread two days after the hurricane slammed Louisiana, when an AP reporter witnessed police asking fleeing residents ‘to give up any guns they had before they boarded buses and trucks because police desperately needed the firepower.’ A week later, New Orleans police superintendent Edwin P. Compass III earned infamy with a widely publicized call for blanket confiscation. ‘Only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons’, he decreed, a policy formed and carried out incompetently, with little regard for legal implications in the storm-blown leadership vacuum.”
What hope will there be, when folks are so easy with their Second Amendment rights being snatched away?
They had some wacko mercenary’s roaming the streets. Yes, Katrina was a TRIP into the future.
As stated they are now attempting to allow illegal aliens to vote in “local” elections and by local we all know they mean everything.
Majella once attempted to tell me I was wrong and yet here again he is as we say proven wrong yet again.
Over and over these leftists idiots lie about every unpopular and illegal thing they are trying to do.
msn.com/en-us/news/us/jim-jordan-triggers-backlash-by-declaring-only-us-citizens-can-vote-this-is-not-controversial
The House blocked the illegal vote in DC today.
I wonder, if the vote was given to the illegals, how would they vote?
A Democrat bloc? destruction of the GOP? Uniparty!!
American citizenship would be worth nothing!
If you want to vote in either Montpelier or Winooski VT the polling places will welcome you, wherever you are from.
Next month Burlington will vote to allow the same, having said ballot initiative endorsed unanimously by the city council.
Bernie Bros territory, something to keep in mind.
Watching TV this morning and they showed the usual line of illegals on our Southern border. What struck me was the total absence of women or kids in the line of all military-aged men. There can be only two reasons for this ongoing disaster, IMHO, the first being the introduction of virtual additions to the Demoncraps storm troopers, antifa and blm, with the millions of illegals now and future, who are totally dependent on the government for support, and especially their beer money. The second is something China Joe and the Biden mafia have practiced adeptly for so many years. Pure graft and bribery from the cartels to the Bidens that permits the cartel control of our Southern border and even control in our interior. With the cartels making billions, millions to the Bidens is nothing to the drug lords. We are facing the very real danger of becoming as dangerous and out-of-control as Mexico, thanks to China Joe and the Mexican drug cartels. The Bidens have always been for sale, but treason seems to hold no power over them.
ben,
Several years ago, maybe even a decade, I read a book written by Jim Rickards, who gave six indicators that would portend the metaphysical apocalypse of the US empire.
…One was to allow illegal immigrants to vote.
Okay Jarek. Let us use some examples
Capitalism The USA? mostly, but not for long. Private sector runs the economy using free market and competitive price control. Winners become rich. losers try again or fall out.
Marxist Communism No place, never has been, always been destroyed by its socialistic base and greed.
USSR communism A joke, but a powerful one. Total socialism with an attempt at central ownership and control. People either join the party or fall out to serfdom.
Here I agree with you. USSR communism is a derivative of capitalism, it is the method of control when too much power is put into too few hands, when capitalism is allowed to run out to where too few survivors exist. It is where the US is right now. The key words are too much power in too few hands. The death of capitalism is the birth of USSR communism.
Fascism where the government runs the economy for the good of the state. Hmmm, sounds very familiar. China, Russia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, actually all the sheikdoms of the Middle East. Totally dependent on the quality of the government, no competitive marketplace, winners and losers are set by the government. Fascism could end up in feudalism, and militaristic as the state needs defense. The basis of BRICS+?
A really good example to demonstrate.
Small town America was happy with its capitalistic structure, small business ran the show, politics was run by people scratching each others backs, usually a larger company hired some of the people as a labor pool,
Then a large corporation, Bad capitalism, moved in to take over the economy by using economies of scale. Not just Walmart either, Target, Dillards, Krogers, you name it. Malls outside of town, the labor pools pushed to entry level.
A group of the people fell out in competition. In America, this started in the Great Depression, slowed in the war, then picked up in the 60s. Part of the boomer generation fell out, became gimmes in competition and started the real welfare state we enjoy today. The same voices advocating for them, still do.
American has been on the same track ever since, with more people falling out as we became more corporate with our economy. Tax laws and lobbying in DC just acceleratedthe process.
We are now in the final stages of terminal capitalism, everything is computerized, centralized, the losers patrol the streets, socialism becomes more appealing to the public to take care of them. The public get evil government as the cause of the bad capitalism come into government power. The end result could be feudalism.
So our choice is fascism, allowing uniparty control with the state making all the big decisions about our lives, like China, or USSR communism where not only are the decisions made by the state but everything you thought you owned is owned by the state. You will own nothing and be happy! Sound familiar? Neither sounds very appetizing to me.
Or we can have a Long Emergency and return to the small town localized economies of the 1800s. Hmmm, I think some folks have named that as a return to happiness and peace.
Marxist Communism will never even be in the picture.
So is the fate of the world going to be fascism vs. USSR communism? BRICS+ vs. WEF?
JHK and peak oil says we may return to local control where barter capitalism may return.
Which would you prefer?
Without virtue, no system will work. Remember, the small timers were obsessed with becoming bigger, with a few becoming the giants. Where was the virtue in that? The Capitalist ethic is amoral at best, and evil in the final stage.
If it is to bring good time again long term, it will only be because of the lack of natural resources that insures it stays small.
Fascism can be good, if the Leader is good and the people are good. Obviously it can go bad too. But such a centralized system will conquer the World made by Hand. If you recall in Mr Kunstler’s final novel, two large States, one Black racist, and the other White racist, were going to war with each other. Either one would devour Union Grove in time – Even given the lack of modern technology and abundant oil. This kind of thing happened even in ancient time after all.
Job and his people were a theocracy. Karp and his people a warrior band, with him as War Chief. And the Judge was a Lord on a manor, with many serfs – another order!
Union Grove was doomed except for the influx of the Job’s religious warriors – Ex US Marines.
Cag nab it, Jarek! I’m still reading WMBH!! Brother Minor is nervous, and some lady is serving rocks. NHNF. haha
Yes, it is virtue. There’s a lady named Jennifer Zeng I want you to meet, guys. She was part of Fallon Gong, and went through some tortuous times. Here channel is called Inconvenient truths.
JLO wants glaze. I want justice. Nobody wants sh*t, and to dust is dusted.
The Fallon Gang, eh? If the Irish gangs had practiced Falun Gong, maybe they would have triumphed over the Italians and the Jews.
But for whiskey, the Irish would rule the world in any case. Is Falun Gong strong enough to overcome the blessed curse of Aqua Vitae?
“Fascism can be good, if the Leader is good and the people are good.”
Mussolini famously described fascism as the collusion of state and business interests for their own mutual benefit. I would consider Mussolini to be very knowledgeable about the subject of fascism, so I take his statement seriously. If true, fascism is good for nobody but the state and a few private interests. I’m my opinion you are posting BS.
“Obviously it can go bad too.”
No kidding! Using Mussolini’s definition, we are a thoroughly fascist nation and getting progressively worse. When fascism goes bad stuff starts blowing up everywhere, countries get invaded, prison camps and political prisoner camps get constructed, all media outlets are spewing either corporate or government propaganda, and everyone has a miserable time.
“But such a centralized system will conquer the World made by Hand.”
So far, no such centralized system of tyranny has worked against a population as well armed as ours is. Serious tyrannies always confiscate firearms first. If the survivors in the world made by hand are all locked and loaded, it might be very difficult to “conquer” them. It also depends on the strength of local sheriffs and state governments just how much we are to be “conquered”.
“If you recall in Mr Kunstler’s final novel, two large States, one Black racist, and the other White racist, were going to war with each other. Either one would devour Union Grove in time – Even given the lack of modern technology and abundant oil. This kind of thing happened even in ancient time after all.”
Maybe, maybe not. If our food delivery system breaks down completely due to economic or even military chaos, the death toll in the US due to mass starvation and internal strife will be so shocking and so horrific that the survivors might lose their interest in inflicting yet more pain and bloodshed upon themselves with yet more fruitless wars.
Well of course – it won’t happen for awhile, as in decades or generations in the case of a complete break down. Kunstler is rushing it to tell the story. A common technique.
But raiders? Warrior bands? Cannibalism? That kind of “warfare” will be immediate.
If anything happens that prevents diesel engines from running for a couple years, most of us in the USA will be gone, that will be the complete breakdown and return to the 1800’s lifestyle.
If there’s no diesel there’s no food. And that’s all there is to it. I see no guarantee whatsoever that we’ll have diesel available for decades. Our food availability depends on farm tractors, trains, barges, and big trucks running constantly – all burning a lot of diesel fuel. And we won’t be farming using solar or wind powered electric tractors. Our ag system is hopelessly complicated and totally dependent on chemical and mechanical resources that might not be available sometime in the near future. Famine is one of the four horsemen – and they are saddled up and about to take poor ole Jarek for a ride.
“Did we collaborate with our adversaries in our own collapse?” ~ JHK
I believe that my collaboration was insignificant, but I can almost guarantee you that John Kerry advocated, even through the Trump years, on my behalf.
FJB ack ack ACK
A few days ago, Lula, the newly reinstalled corrupt communist Brazilian puppet, made the vaccine mandatory for children to the extent that the poor’s benefits are tied directly to vaccination compliance.
No vaccine, no benefits.
And yet people were stumped as to why so many poor and formerly poor athletes and celebrities supported Bolsonaro.
Enough has been said, reported, and confirmed about the vaccine‘s efficacy, but when are these scientists and experts going to investigate and report as to why these tyrannical leaders are so dead-set on forcing this vaccine on humanity.?
Why are they pushing and demanding the vaccine on the masses?
Now, after everything has been reported, after the pandemic has been “declared” over?
It is time to move on to the truths. We know the lies.
If you hold your breath, you might become cyanotic.
I’d have said ‘turn blue’, but I don’t want to be accused of being a blue supremacist.

All wars are banker wars.
War is a Racket – Smedley Butler
We would have never taken this continent without guns and force.
Don’t like it? Why are you still here?
French banksters loaning the Iriquois money? Wh0 knew?
The French & Indian War doubled the British debt leading them to invoke the stamp act which led to your war for independence.
Because bankers (natch) were owed.
All wars are banker wars
Yeah because the Indians didn’t make war on each other, right Peebes? This continent was a paradise before the White man and his bankers got here.
“All wars are banker wars”
Since the invention of banks.
And since the need arose, with the decline of feudalism, to pay soldiers.
Merriam-Webster, SOLDIER:

Why were Hessian soldiers fighting on the side of the British in the Am. Rev. War? They had been “rented out” to the Brits by the Duke of Hesse, who needed cash.
His banker was Meyer Amschel Rothschild, of Frankfurt am Main (in Hesse).
Rothschild made a lot of dough financing wars, generally lending to both sides.
Strawman #2
Get some new material. You’re a snooze, honey.
Strawman #3
No Jim, this is not all a CCP plot. It is instead the WEFer-US-West owner-elite class seeking to make everyone’s political-economy resemble that of China’s. China is the poster child of WEF globalist-capitalists. They want American all to be good, obedient, socially-controlled collectivist-minded ants like Chinese worker ants are. Only problem with China, as far as the WEFers are concerned, is that it is not owned by them, and doesn’t completely comply with all of their policy desirements.
As for the balloons, the USA has military bases all around China, and all sorts of spying assets deployed there, probably even including some balloons of its own. The balloon incident just came along at a propitious moment to be a good attention-distracter from the truth about NordStream.
Yep.
The balloongate bullshit seems to be some sort of precursor to a UFO invasion psyops. But we shall see.
avi,
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/u-s-tracked-china/2023/02/15/id/1108751/
Does anyone really believe that the balloon was a surprise?
Given the presumed realities before us its sorta more fun and relaxing to contemplate an alien invasion. Where could you really run and hide to? They could probably see through everything to begin with lol. That is assuming that the aliens are hyper intelligent. It may not be quite as great if they are just some plain ole viruses or bacteria.
But yeah, I too am so tired of these people on so many levels its really unspeakable at this particular point. Literally everything is a psychological operation, a hologram, a deep fake, an AI moderated experience and what have you. How long can a house of cards civilization keep going with literally no centers of authority? This doesn’t feel sustainable and that is actually very frightening. It seems like they are gearing up to do something really big again since they have perhaps overplayed their psyops hand. Unfortunately the message to a weary public is – now is not the time to rest on your laurels. Every week I always come here and CFN is here. It is my rock lol. Thank you Mr. K!! Nite nite all 🙂
You need to watch The Prisoner. The complete series is available on Youtube – which proves they aren’t all bad.
Learn about Rover! And the higher (lower!) third, the resolution of Capitalism/Communism as epitomized by the Village.
Oh ok, it sounds interesting, I’ll have to check it out. The Rover? The Village? Sounds very intriguing!!
The rover is a weather balloon that can move. Somehow the rover chases down the prisoner when prisoner tries to escape at the end of every episode. The rover lands on the prisoner, trapping the prisoner inside itself. Island guards return the immobilized prisoner to the island.
The rover looks like a white weather balloon 6 feet tall because it is.
The village is nice. Young beautiful women for the men. Rock hard studs for the women. Think Epstein’s Island with a general store, a local telephone exchange, and shuffleboard. Free drinks, but you can’t call out.
Ok, but Rover is also a balloon dog that growls. It’s sentient!
Number Two gives the show away on Episode Two or Three. The Village is the future of humanity, neither Capitalist or Communist. When people ask you what you are, You should replay, That would be telling. You really are a Villager if not one of the Village People.
No need for an island. Now spooks only have to return your email in three copies so you know it never got where it should have.
Put a man in the middle on various websites a prisoner is known to visit. Have the man in the middle impersonate people making comments. Fuck with their reality. Turn their phone into an enemy.
Tell him/her microwave energy weapons are being trained on them from balloons above the clouds to up their anxiety. Balloons are more believable than airplanes so change the script. Gaslight the poor prisoner. Gang stalk his/her ass. Induce paranoia.
The prisoner has no way to let anyone know he/she is not crazy. News media requires an email and email is controlled. Email is out. The first Catch-22 of many.
Don’t move the prisoner to an island. Make the prisoner into an island!
Happy Valentines Day!
In the “Iliad”, the Ancient Greeks took their women by force as plunder and the spoils of war.
Clinical Psychologist, Jordan Peterson, laments that today modern women are apt to “infantilize” their men and sons and endeavor to turn them into kids. I know of a mother whose 20 year old son still lives at home with his mom and who plays with those plastic toy Star Wars “Light Sabers”. It’s messed up….
In the movie “Titanic”, Rose didn’t have enough time to infantilize “Jack”….
Jordan Peterson sold his ever-weeping soul.
Directly afterward, he was brought to the wailing wall in fact. Clever joke. Lost on him of course.
Remember John Boehner? He was always crying, too. I think it was because he was always half in the bag though.
That and his golf handicap. Yikes!
It wasn’t days on the links that gave him that perpetual tan, it was the jaundice.
Jordan apparently had a mystical experience and converted to Christianity. But lacking solid doctrine, a church and its fellowship, and/or a Starets or Spiritual Father, he is falling away and has recently endorsed gay marriage.
He has Anthea as his Spiritual Father it would seem.
Kicking kids out when they become adults is a fairly modern thing, and I don’t think it’s a good thing to expect families to split up when the kids get old enough to be married, etc.
I think the LDS and Amish folks are onto something when they have family enclaves. What do people benefit by having their families split up and spread out all over the country or world?
Families split up and move all over the place because we live in an airplane/automobile culture. Nobody is particularly impressed Most people live a considerable part of their lives in automobiles, with the elites spending a lot of time in airplanes. The world is a very small place if you can routinely travel it at up to 600 mph. In a horse drawn culture like the Amish, family behavior will be much different.
delete that second sentence, too bad ya can’t edit your own posts on this forum.
If you lived in a place where the major employers shut down, of course you moved far away from where you grew up.
Exactly. That was the case for me. It’s unfortunate, though.
I’d say that the main reason families split up, with kids moving away to distant places is because rural/local economies have been gutted. The kids move to the city because there are not decent jobs and no opportunities in the country.
Yes, because the family farms and therefore the family grocery stores were destroyed. And then all of the factory type jobs were sent to China.
Happened in the town I grew up in. It was a thriving town until the 1980s when the factories shut down and the farms started being co-opted.
Back in the 80s I used to go to a store called Gemco, which was owned by a corporation called Lucky’s.
When the vulture capitalists were allowed to prey (I still don’t understand how that can happen) they went after the Lucky’s corporation.
To save the main corporation (again, why did they have no defense against the vulture capitalists?) Lucky’s sold off Gemco, to Target.
I went to the closing sale and the employees of Gemco had anti Target signs all over the place.
Say what? Why blame Target? It was clearly the fault of the venture capitalists. How stupid could the employees be?
Answer: very stupid.
But now I watch as Americans do the same damn thing.
Their overlords moved the factories over to China for the cheap labor and lack of regulations, and Americans blame the Chinese!
No, doofuses. They didn’t do it, the owners did it.
If you can’t even figure out who screwed you, how can anything ever be made better?
When I was in high school, there were still some families, notably the Italian immigrant families, where the adult children were expected to live in the family home until they got married.
There were even some daughters who did not get jobs after graduation.
It was the 60s youth culture that seemed to foster the idea that it was babyish or undesirable to live at home.
Things started to change back after the last government-engineered financial meltdown.
There were parents who were laid off after age 50, who were never going to work in their field again, and adult children graduating college with huge debt and finding that the price of a roof over their head shot up dramatically since the time they started school.
Don’t forget the employers’ increasing desire for foreign workers over Americans, which made the life that college graduates thought they were going to get even more out of reach.
It only made sense for the families to all be living in one place with one mortgage or rent payment, one utility bill, etc.
If I know of a number of instances where this was happening, it was fairly common.
Happy Valentines Day!! <3
You too SSS. I have anxiety today.
I just learned of a friend of a friend who died suddenly in his sleep of a massive heart attack. He wasn’t elderly, and he hadn’t been ill.
It’s getting closer.
I’m sorry to hear about that bad news! It is very scary how so many people are dying and even people who you think are on our side act like its just a conspiracy theory. Drives me totally crazy. Especially with some of these conservative gatekeepers. I hope it doesn’t get any closer to you than that!
Thank you.
who died suddenly in his sleep of a massive heart attack. – BofO
============
Why are heart attacks always said to be “massive?” Why are they never average sized?
The ones you don’t wake up from are massive. The ones you go back to work a few days later are mild.
This one was a “widow-maker”.
I don’t know why they don’t call the less severe ones puny or something.
And why are they called attacks? The heart is not getting attacked. It’s not like your diaphragm has told the heart, “enough of your shit” and no longer content on banging the ceiling with a broomstick it pummels the heart.
No, it’s the heart quitting. It should be called a heart quit or heart retiring .
“67 years of this 24/7 and no days off? Damn right I walked off the job. Sure, last year I went on strike, sent him to the hospital for a few days, but today? No, nah, I quit”
“Why are heart attacks always said to be “massive?” Why are they never average sized?”
Sometimes they are just ‘heart attacks’. If you have a very minor one, you may not even be aware you’ve had it.
An English friend of mine had a heart attack in front of the paramedics, a couple of months after her second jab. It took 8 shocks to get her back, but they managed. I presume that would be an ‘average’ heart attack, but she would have died if they hadn’t been there.
When I contacted the sister of my other English friend who died a few months after her booster, I was told she had a ‘catastrophic’ heart attack. I presume that was what the medics said. She died instantly.
One of the characteristics of the deaths of many of the athletes and footballers who have died on the field is that, even though there are medical experts right there who would normally be able to resuscitate them, it’s not happening. The heart attacks seem to be ‘massive’ or ‘catastrophic’, so they can’t get them back.
Also there is a difference between heart attacks and cardiac arrest, which people often don’t make.
heart.org/en/health-topics/heart-attack/about-heart-attacks/heart-attack-or-sudden-cardiac-arrest-how-are-they-different
Going by your article, GA, it is obvious that what is happening to the athletes is sudden cardiac arrest, not a heart attack, which is called a myocardial infarction.
They are having arrhythmias, which seem to be caused by the spike protein attacking the part of the myocardium that has the nerves running through it that carries the electric charge that stimulates your heart to beat.
With heavy exercise the heart is beating faster and harder and so if the electric impulse is interrupted it causes ventricular fibrillation, which will quickly lead to full cardiac arrest and death.
But quick defibrillation may be able to restart the functioning of the heart again.
Massive heart attacks are usually caused by the complete blockage of a main cardiac artery, especially the left anterior descending artery. Other myocardial infarctions may or may not cause quick death.
Young athletes aren’t going to have that kind of blockage, but older people can.
“Mr. Naser kept his family safe through years of war, bombings and air raids until Monday’s earthquake struck their home in Jandaris in Syria, levelling the building and burying his wife and most of his family under the masonry.
He sat amid the ruins of his home, surrounded by broken concrete and twisted metal, grieving his loss as he held baby clothes.”
After this Earthquake, the balloon stories started. Before that the Nord Stream story and before that I can’t recall… Oh yes, the Pfizer Pfizer freakout caught on tape, the Leopard/Abram tanks BS, etc etc. And soon all the way back to the Idaho Murders…
I conclude All is a flood of news. How’s your Noah Ark?
Lost in the deluge of news on the alien invasion is yet another college murder: last night, Michigan State University, 3 dead, 5 wounded, all in critical condition, all students. The shooter, mostly peaceful, 43 year-old Anthony Dwayne McRae (not a student) killed himself before he could become a martyr.
In The State News, the propaganda rag of Michigan State University, the killer’s race and name aren’t mentioned.
Meanwhile, in The State News, under the heading “Trending”:
* “MSU Black Mental Health Coalition…”
* “Black MSU students, talk culture shock, imposter syndrome…”
*”…Women leaders in the department of African…”
*”Black, queer figures from Michigan that influenced history…”
*an article about the Pompon squad
*an article about persuading girls to study engineering.
Forty years ago today the campus of Michigan State University was covered with girls in bikinis – it got up to 72 F that day, the first I’d heard of El Niño. A different world, yet doomed to become the one we’re living in now.
Known to the authorities, of course he was.
And nothing today in the Lansing State Journal or the Detroit papers…maybe tomorrow. I’m in the East Lansing area and was hanging with the bf last night when the news broke of the shootings. Residents were told to shelter in place while the hunt was conducted for the perpetrator. The bf and I stayed put and watched the news until the 12:20 am press conference when we were told the perp shot himself. The corner where he did so was cordoned off by police. What really hit home for me was that I have turned at that corner maybe hundreds of times over the years and if I’d tried to go home from the bf’s I’d have run straight into the cordon/crime scene–maybe even as the drama was going down.
Horrible night for our community. A friend works at Sparrow Hospital where the five critical victims are. It’s awful.
I am overwhelmed in the flood and attempting to get onto the life raft. Jack can get into the raft too. He doesn’t have to float to the bottom of the sea 🙂
Your goodness makes you beautiful too. Thank you for helping Jack and not making him take the Buddha acid journey all the way down to Davy Jones Locker.
Good girls can be sexy – as long as being good is obviously a struggle for them.
Aww thank you :-).
Everyday is a big, turbulent struggle for me to be as good as i possibly can
be
You must be so sexy, being so good and so tempted to not be good. It’s like floating to the bottom of sea or sinking into the clouds.
Mainstream media not giving you enough information on the Ohio trainwreck? Step on over to Netflix – it’s called White Noise, released the day after Thanksgiving. Based on a story by Don DeLillo, published in 1985.
And now there have been 2 more derailments, at least one with toxic chemicals. One is in Texas.
Hmmm.

I read the book but the movie didn’t do it justice.
I couldn’t make heads nor tails of the movie.
The movie would make sense if you read the book but otherwise not so much.
KanekoaTheGreat has put together a thread on the derailment.
https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1625214707727765504?s=20&t=D_9NV3ABMgvvajOW8Tk5VA

https://twitter.com/w_terrence/status/1625330094003593218?s=20&t=D_9NV3ABMgvvajOW8Tk5VA
There are also attacks on power stations and now reports on someone hacking a water treatment plant and upping the lye content to 1,000’s of parts per million instead of 100.
Environmental vandalism? In a few years such a crime might mean the loss of body parts to those caught.
And to move everyone in that pied-piper direction environmental vandalism is an easy psy-op.
Nobody caught, no fools taking responsibility. Are you part of the cultivation of a new terrorist target du jour benr?
Are you just an idiot?
Cultivating?
I wish I was getting paid to post propaganda.
Frankly sick of working 6-3 and worse I have skin in the game should this country get attacked or attack another country.
Don’t get your bowels in an uproar.
You just don’t like my way of saying it. I mean no offense. We all repeat memes. We are all conditioned.
The powers that be send out memos of domestic infrastructure being attacked. The claim of electrical substations being shot with high powered rifles has sprinkled the news for several months. Transformers are taken out so it is said.
Nothing gets substantiated. Evidence becomes who you believe.
The meme gets repeated and eventually domestic terrorists become the excuse to take away the ‘freedoms’ everybody here is always ranting about.
^^^ that’s my take too, Dog
Though I would suggest it be applied to a whole lot more than these background stories. Some of our biggest public truths are complete bullshit, but as you alluded to, the meme gets repeated enough and into the history books it goes…
The details on a CLUSTER-F piece of news? No thanks.

I’m guessing shooting at random things in the skies (that they probably put there to start with) is how they will normalize us into having actual warfare within our borders. Here we go, folks. Up until now, the shooting has always been “over there.”
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/1st-missile-strike-at-aerial-object-over-lake-huron-missed/ar-AA17tnAI
Train derailments, power outages, obvious attacks on water supplies and attacks on power substations all over the country.
Folks sorry to say this WW3 is already on and our leaders are ignoring it.
OUr leaders are causing it. They are the ones attacking us, not China or Russia or anyone else.
They have so many ways of attacking us. One very frightening statistic in Sandi Adams’ interview that I referenced further up is that the UK produced 85% of its own food in the 1980s. Now we produce 45% of our own food. Since we have something called a Food Security Agency or similar, one can only assume this dramatic change is deliberate.
Most people eat too much so could manage fine, in a crisis – or just a new situation where we couldn’t export enough to pay for food imports – on 85% of what they now eat. Forty-five percent not so much.
from a US perspective where cheap land was once plentiful:
If I’m not mistaken, in the US during WWII, back yard and vacant lot “victory gardens” produced some 40% of domestically consumed food. I’m guessing that with so many farm guys on active duty there wasn’t enough commercial farming going on. People even had back yard pigs and chickens as well.
In the 50’s in small town America, backyard gardens were still quite common and some of our childhood chores or work we did for our allowance money consisted of gardening work. Most of us kids not only saw produce growing closeby but we did some of the picking work. One of my chores was picking raspberries. If I didn’t do it then no homemade raspberry ice cream for me. That’s what we did back in the days before children were confined indoors in front of video games and tv sets.
It really is surreal watching governments destroy their own countries, or allow their allies to, isn’t it?
I hope you are hoarding food, GA.
Woodchuck – that all lhappened here too. Sadly my back green is shared with 7 other households and is too cold to grow anything edible. So it’s a case of que sera sera.
Mary – indeed it is. But they’re not really our governments, are they? Someone said we should consider them a government of occupation, which makes sense.
I’ve got enough cans of to do us about 14 days. If my family need some of them (they don’t believe my warnings), then maybe 7. 🙂
Even if I had room for food stores, I couldn’t defend them, so I don’t worry too much about it. I’m not desperate to survive into what they have in store for us.
Great point, GA.
Occupying governments, who in no way, shape or form come anywhere close to representing the people, but instead work as ersatz dictators or royalty. They ignore laws, constitutions, basic human rights.
Once their attacks are complete, their choppers will be waiting to lift them off their skyscraper rooftops.

There was speculation about Seymour Hersh after his pipeline article, that he may have been duped or something.
In this interview, he does not come across as anyone’s dupe:
Seymour Hersh Speaks Out: “You Have to Hold the President to Account”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/02/seymour-hersh-speaks-hold-president-account/
What is interesting is that the people he called out for being responsible have not, to my knowledge, addressed the issue.
It’s really crazy it is even debate when all these people said they wanted to blow up the pipelines and celebrated it when it happened. The sheep are too sheepy for anyones’ taste at this point.
Damar Hamlin did an interview on ABC about his recovery, but when asked he wouldn’t say what the doctors told him he was recovering from.
I heard that this morning. Rather inconvenient for him if he replied “clot shot.”
It’s almost as if he’s afraid of something.
A Meditation on the Three Levels of War
Is war always about money? Well usually “goods” come into it. The Indians liked to steel women and horses. My ancestors, women and cattle. Of course the more serious type of war is for the other’s land. Then you either win, lose and die, or run. And the third type of war is just masculine fun: counting coup for the Plains Indians, jousting in old Europe. Lines of men throwing insults and spears at each other in New Guinea, taking pleasure in their own graceful avoidance of the thrown spears.
Closer to home, often Blacks will rob a White they have knocked out. But not always. Sometimes the knockout is sufficient unto itself and they don’t get through the pockets. Why sully the joy of the thing in itself?
Or as Anglin says, sometimes they feel more stabby and sometimes more rapey.
So Mary and Van Peebes ae right in two out of three cases – in the general sense of violence being about getting the others “stuff”. But bankers per se? No. That’s modern. But Yes! It’s certainly the macro-situation now.
So to reiterate: sport, raiding, and total war. The West has launched a total war on Russia under the guise of a limited raid. The Russians weren’t fooled (and the Elite didn’t expect them to be). Many Westerners are fooled however. And of course Westernized Russians I suppose. But the War has strengthened Putin and his group, and weakened the Resistance. Perhaps a fatal miscalculation by our Elite.
Yeah, modern.
“The word to “pay” is derived from the Latin “pacare” meaning to pacify, appease, or make peace with – through the appropriate unit of value customarily acceptable to both sides. Objects originally accepted for one purpose were often found to be useful for others and, because of their growing acceptability began to be used for general trading also. Thus the practice of paying compensation for certain crimes was one of the factors that played a role in the origins of money”
“Ever since the invention of coins monetary and military history have been inter-related to a degree that is both depressing and surprising. Glyn Davies goes so far as to paraphrase Clausewitz’s famous dictum and refer to war as the continuation of monetary policy by other means, and quotes a remark by an eighteenth century writer (Davenant) that “nowadays that prince who can best find money to pay his army is surest of success.”
“Before the time of Henry II it was normal in England, as in other feudal countries, for the the king’s tenants-in-chief and their retainers to owe him a period of military service, usually 40 days annually. Henry replaced this obligation with cash payments known as scutage and used the money to pay for a permanent professional army ”
“Payments for supplies, equipment, allies, ransoms etc. required safe and speedy means of transferring vast resources of cash. Consequently the Knights of the Temple and the Hospitallers began to provide some banking services such as those already being developed in some of the Italian city states where the need to transfer sums of money for trading purposes led to the development of financial services including bills of exchange. Banking had been invented in the Middle East long before the invention of coins but was abandoned and forgotten after the collapse of the Roman empire. The Crusades gave a great stimulus to its re-emergence.”
To the Conquistadores, God, Gold, and Glory were all on thing. But they were wrong. They are in fact three different things merged together in their impure minds.
The Conquistadores, truthfully, did not care all that much about religious matters but after De Las Casas spilt the beans the Dominicans wanted a piece of the action.
Regardless, both brought hell to the indios.
The Crusaders were similar in the three levels. St Bernard, founder of the Knights Templar, was one of the most influential men in Europe, but all he ever wanted to do was get back to his room to pray. God!
Many were into Glory or Warrior Dharma. But of course, such men should be rewarded. Not all Knights took oaths of poverty or were faithful to such vows. Thus the Gold enters in. And of course, that’s alll some ever cared about, really.
Sayyid Qutub addresses this question in his famed book, “Milestones”. He was outraged that people though that Jihad was about gold. Yes, Islam spread by the sword, but for the good of those conquered and for the glory of God. The idea that people thought it was for gold or that it didn’t spread by the sword at all were just popular lies, now regretably believed by Muslims as well.
I talked to Muslim kid after 9/11. He got very tense and said that conquering half of the world had nothing to do with Islam, it was just something individual Muslims felt like doing. I knew that he was lying. He was a radical who accepted the Teaching of Qutub but didn’t want to give the game away. Such deception is part of Jihad.
The Knights Templar created checking accounts as money banked in Europe could be drawn upon by Crusaders in Judea.
Gold and silver have always what humanity have considered being worth something. Coinage used to be a way of distributing wealth, gold and silver bullion was cast as coins, the coins were actually worth something on their own.
Think Eagles or Double Eagles or silver dollars.
BTW, the Knights Templar were destroyed by a conspiracy of the Pope and a French King as they were becoming financially powerful.
Cooperation between financing and construction of cathedrals in Europe led to a combining of the Knights with the stonemasons guilds of the times.
Today’s Freemasons are still here.
The last Knight to be killed name was DeMolay and he was killed on Friday the 13th.
What happened to the Templar treasure? That’s a question for the ages.
Either the Pope and the French kind owed the Templars a ton of money, or they didn’t owe them anything. Depending on how you see it.
Everyone owed the Rothschilds, and their power just grew . . . Of course, they always had boltholes when the clouds gathered. Primarily on the British offshore islands.

Here is another take on WW3.
It will be a war triggered by the Balkanization of the USA.
When the US splits, the various factions will align with foreign powers, for example, the West Coast North might align with China and the SW with Mexico.
Each area seems to have foreign powers or global forces sympathetic to its social culture. As the meaning of the United States of America loses credibility, the affinity for foreign influence will grow.
Armageddon may be in the US?
Imagine the environmental benefits and the consumer benefits!
I’ll no longer have to get my bric-a-brac and my planned obsolescence goods from a freighter from China! Goodbye carbon stomp-print. Thank you Peoples Republic of NorCalZhongguo and the FoxCon who came home to roost!
How is it possible for the USA to split? Which rebel army shops at Safeway? Do they use different gas stations?
Serious consideration of Balkanization in the US implies Americans have freedom. Americans have no freedom. Americans have only the illusion of freedom.
The world of 1984 is here, but George Carlin, not Orwell is the prophet.
“Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations that’ve long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them.”
Carlin was wrong about one thing. Well educated people capable of critical thought the government is not worried about. All the government has to do with this compliant easily manipulated minority is to keep the volume of what they have to say turned down to a low level. Let the guns and ammo contingent scream at the top of their lungs.
And the owners keep owning.
You complain, but then give in to all of their scams, such as the clotshot, scamdemic and Green New Deal.
You are going to anger him again.
True.
He angers himself. All that cognitive dissonance can’t be easy to tote around.
The burden of being able to think deeply. Simple is as simple does not.

Self-Domestication & Possibly-Significant Depopulation Via Civil War
——
“How is it possible for the USA to split? Which rebel army shops at Safeway? Do they use different gas stations?” ~ K-Chien
——
Well there can be peaceful secessions, say per state, county or even city-and-surrounds…
But I made a related point in the Zero Hedge comment section some years ago, namely that civil war might be difficult if not impossible (at least surviving one) for many if they don’t really know how to survive in the wild, like without an ungutted, unlooted, unbombed working Walmart, general store and/or grocery store nearby.
As soon as people get that they need to re-empower themselves again and escape their self-domestication to some degrees is when they can then more seriously consider bailing on the status-quo, whether on their own or by the status-quo doing it for them.
If a civil war breaks out prematurely, we can almost expect a significant depopulation to perhaps fill the likes of the WEF gang with a sense of satisfaction, fulfillment and accomplishment.
While sucking at the gov’t/corp. teat, as many of us do, is all fine and nice on the energy up-slope, ultimately it keeps us infantilized and exquisitely vulnerable, especially on the energy down-slope.

The Covid Coup Attacked the Right to Travel
“Under the guise of Covid responses, our leaders overthrew our constitutional system of individual rights to increase their power over the citizenry.
The federal government colluded with Big Tech to usurp Americans’ First Amendment right to freedom of speech and Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches. Officials stifled criticism by slandering dissent as false and implying that it endangered the public. Bureaucrats supplanted the Seventh Amendment with a liability shield for Big Pharma’s most profitable products.
This three-headed hegemon of Big Pharma, Big Tech, and the federal government worked together to launch a coup d’état that usurped the Constitution. To replace our liberties, they offer a new ruling order of suppression of dissent, surveillance of the masses, and indemnity of the powerful.
Implementing this system requires totalitarian control beyond America’s constitutional traditions.”

My efforts to unsubscribe from numerous unwanted emails seems to be paying dividends. I have been receiving far fewer the past couple of days.
This has encouraged me to look back at the contents of various other email folders and to, perhaps, delete a bunch of clutter. One such folder is labeled DRAFTS. The emails in the drafts folder tend to be long and contain my beliefs or observations on various subjects. Or just personal anecdotes. I am glad I have not disposed of these drafts. Someday my grandkids may read them and learn things about their grandpa that they never knew before.
Most of these drafts were posted as comments as far back as 2010 and I figure some of you who are newer arrivals on the site may enjoy reading them. I’ll feed them in here and there when the mood strikes me.
I’ll start with one titled “taken lands” which is a subject dear to Jarek’s heart. See below.
Taken lands
I am not an historian but I am, nevertheless, fairly certain that nearly 100% of the people on earth are occupying lands that they or their ancestors “took” from some previous “owner.” Yes, there may be an exception or two – the Eskimos perhaps?
Once land is taken the new owners will fight like hell, concoct elaborate legal systems and carve commandments such as “thou shalt not steal” into stone tablets to hold on to it and in time will be convinced that they are, in fact, the “rightful owners.” And, so long as they hang onto that land, occupy it, use it and defend it from new, would-be occupiers they are the rightful owners. If ever there was a relative term, “rightful owner” is it.
One of the more extreme examples of this is Jerusalem which has changed hands 26 times in 4,000 years and has been totally or partially destroyed 35 times. (For more on this google “Jerusalem the contested city” by Dr. F.E. Peters.)
Sooo … if Anglo Saxons arrived 5 centuries ago and displaced indigenous Indians and Mexicans, well, tough shit for the Indians and Mexicans. As Vlad said, “we took it fair and square.” And if the Mexicans wade back across “our” southern border and re-take the southwest it’s tough shit for the Anglos. This is how it works. Don’t go getting all pissed off at me for telling the truth.
In case you haven’t guessed, I favor defending all our borders from encroachment by “illegal” immigrants. What makes them “illegal?” Because we say so. Is this too harsh for your tender little ears?
Why is this so hard to see and understand? It’s so obvious.
P.S. The draft was dated August 2, 2010.
The Eskimos perhaps?
No Eskimos replaced the Dorset culture.
Inuit legends recount encountering giants, taller and stronger than the Inuit, but afraid to interact and “easily put to flight.”
Well said, dear friend. Yours is a clarion call to Greek clarity, extremely rare even on this singular site.
The Indians have nothing to do with our Nation. They were just living here and in our way. We moved them. For White Americans to accept this alien people as “Native Americans” or the “First Americans” was a defeat of the first order. Given that freedom begins between the ears, it also often ends there first.
The People make the nation, not the land, be it ever so precious. Thus if all the Icelanders were moved to Haiti, that would be the new Iceland. And if the Haitians were moved to Iceland, that would be the new Haiti. That’s the main or salient point here. That the Icelanders would turn Haiti into a paradise within a generation and the Haitians would starve or freeze to death within a few years, is an interesting story for another day.
Interesting that you mention Haiti.
Haiti is in a state of complete & total collapse, no government, no food, no clean water, no electricity. Disease is rampant. Viscous street gangs rule the country; it’s so dangerous that almost all NGO aid organizations have fled the country. An intervention is called for, but more than a half dozen UN & US interventions in the past three decades have done no good. The situation is hopeless. Nearby Jamaica has offered to send in its army to try to help, but what kind of Army does Jamaica have? Jamaica is not in such great shape either.
Jamaica has a great bob sled team. The Whites Elite are a steadying influence behind the Black Elite, thus it remains a sexual holiday destination for White women. The local fuck boys refer to them as milk bottles, lol.
The poorest people on the island are the White descendants of the White slaves, known as red legs. They have racial pride and live in remote areas away from the Black to the extent possible.
One daughter of the White Elite fell in love somehow with one of the red legs. She offered him everything – as long as he turned his back on his own people. Sadly, he complied.
So dangerous and yet certain foundations have bilked billions from Haiti relief funds and it is a who’s who of western leaders running it.
Some big names that always seem to get mixed up in corruption scandals but never pay for it.
Viscous street gangs – BRH
============
Hahaha, yeah those gang members have a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid.
THIS IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
I am not fond of assholes who think they have to name the local native tribe the white man displaced every time a public meeting starts.
Apologizing to the most recent tribe that happened to live on land taken from another tribe in a history white men can’t know about is the woke fucking pledge of allegiance. It sucks.
“Let us honor the ancestral homeland of the blah-blah tribe on whos lands we now share…………..
The same idiots would pay reparations based on skin color. They would expect the money to come from you as woke people do. You did not do the crime, but you get to do the time.
I agree 100% on point.
Woof.
Newsflash: Humans are migratory.
Flash 2.0: The Sea Peoples tried to take Egypt, to become the new Egyptians. The Egyptians beat the bastards back.
Later they were invades by the Semitic Hyskos who immediately started pretending to be Egyptians. The Hyksos organized the Nubians to the south of Egypt and thus had them in a vise. But after a long struggle, both groups of savages were defeated and driven out.
Don’t give up, VanPeebles!
Humans are predatory as well.
Happy Valentines Day!
As depicted in the “Iliad” by Homer, a “Real Man” is someone, like King Agamemnon, who, for glory and plunder, violently and mercilessly rams the heavy bronze point of his spear through the helmet of a Trojan enemy and pops the enemy’s skull like a zit and then abducts his wife.
None of that playing with toy plastic, battery powered Star Wars “Light Sabers” for the Ancient Greeks….
So it was not ‘will you be my valentine’? Homer the home boy simply said, ‘you are my valentine’.
Happy valentines day, like it or not.
Oh my, what a brute! I bet Agamemnon still has toys. You know what they say about boys and there toys lol
With his attitude his name reveals what Agamemnon gets if he does not use force. Drop the second ‘m’ to give A-game-non.
Or translate that second ‘m’ to a ‘mmmmmm’ giving ‘A-game-mmmmmm-non’. The result is clear.
No game for Agamemnon.
in the US during WWII, back yard and vacant lot “victory gardens” produced some 40% of domestically consumed food.
/In Canada one is to register when buying hens.
USA wants small gardens registered.
eerie.
Madonna is copying her look.
/ see KJOzbourne on [rumble?] about the evil deity statues and how Mad donna wears her hair like the statue does….
he is on utube [old stuff] ‘scariest movie ever’ channel.
She tries to look like a satanic gargoyle, that’s not really news.
I don’t bemoan her trying to look better but it almost seems like she is transitioning into an alien. Some people say its because she doesn’t want even a hint of a line on her face. But the puffy immovable face look may not be exactly that good either. I don’t know its a mixed bag so I’m not going to say much about that.
I think aging gracefully shows the true measure of a person.
Plastic surgery backfires and also is temporary. It’s also an addiction.
Madonna looks like a disgusting freak, just like most people addicted to those procedures do.
And Madonna is a satanist, which is why she likes all that satanic symbolism and looking like a gargoyle or baphomet.
Her look, and her work, were always transgressive. She calls it “subversive.”
I checked out some photos of her at at the Grammies. Absent captions I would not have recognized her. .
Some might say, disgusting.
Now that she is getting older, “transgressive” becomes harder to pull off without merging into “disgusting” or “pathetic” or “who is that? What, Madonna????”
Kind of like Michael Jackson becoming ever more weird in what he did to his face.
However, I have never been in her fan base (although I thought she was good in Desperately Seeking Susan—at least, I recall enjoying the film).
I guess she and her managers are not interested in “aging gracefully” but in maintaining her career as an active performer as long as they can.
If the public wants this, who am I to say . . . anything at all???
there is a utube by an MD [probably a plastic surgeon]
and he details via old photos what ‘work’ she has had done.
only 250k s worth.
So, did people not own guns in the US before the 1920s? Why don’t the people trying to ban guns ever look at this list?

Look at how it really picks up after the Kennedy assassination.
Just sayin’.
COVID vaccine was added to the children
and infants vaccine schedule.
Just like that.
No voice, no vote, no argument, no agency.
This is the the new normal: no justice
And yet, you are skeptical about these same people doing other heinous things.
Interesting.
Like using earthquake machines to kill tens of thousands?
I’ll just sip the Kool-Aid you’re serving
In the Moon Landing studio?
Mary and Islander try to initiate Van Peebles into the YaYa Sisterhood. This is like trying to go all the way on the first date.
You can’t even change your writing style, Cargill.
Because you have a low IQ.
Won’t be long until this sock is back in the drawer.
But you actually don’t know anything about Earthquakes or how they could be triggered, right?
Anyone who believes we landed on the moon is a monster!
Night Owl is a Cult Enforcer. Drink the kool-aid or have you mouth opened.
Note to other YaYa Sister chapters: This is not how to treat pledges.
Doomsday Cultist goes for the inversion.
Comedy gold.
This was a draft response to a guy named Gavin in Sept 2010:
Gavin, your post sparked a fond memory.
I used to hang out in a bar just like the one you described. I’m going back about a decade or so. My routine on a Friday night, with a week’s worth of torture by an asshole boss behind me, was to close the bar with a significant alcohol buzz on and proceed from there to a place called “The Bottom of the Hill” where there was a line of nighthawks at 2:30 – 3:00AM buying coffee, cigarettes, bagels w/cream cheese, etc.
My routine was a cup of coffee and 3 large chocolate chip cookies. I’d go home with this treasure, turn on the PC and play hearts interactively with folks around the world till 5 – 6 AM or till I dozed off, whichever came first.
So anyway, I entered The Bottom of the Hill (which I always referred to in conversation as The Bottom of the Barrel due to the typical denizens one found there in the wee hours, 20 paces from the New Brunswick train station) and got in line behind a large guy similar to the one you described “at the other end of the bar.” He was essentially the same dude but with the additional charm of tattoos and body piercings from heard to foot and way less than a full complement of teeth. This was in an era just before seeing such a spectacle of a human became unremarkable.
I observed the multiple ear, nose and lip rings, bolts and studs and the tatts that came up from below collar level and extended up and across the neck and face, front and back and disappeared into his hairline. I quickly calculated the odds that he earned his living as a business consultant at 1 in 10 to the 17th power vs motorcycle mechanic at 2 to 1.
These observations plus the instant judgement that I was way older than anyone in the place (and therefore how unseemly it would have been for someone to simply beat the piss out of me right then and there) emboldened me to blurt out in a voice loud enough for all to hear “If there’s one thing in this world I can’t stand it’s tattoos and body-piercings!!” And to the credit of the spectacle ahead of me in line came the instant reply, “Yeah, well how good are you at standing PAIN?” after which all present erupted in laughter.
“This was a draft response to a guy named Gavin in Sept 2010:” ~ Q. Shtik
——
And I thought I was bad at cleaning out old emails. Did you ever send it?
I’d have the chocolate chip cookies if I was with you, unless there were maybe brownies or cheesecake, and ice-cold milk instead of coffee. Given the lack of caffeine and the milk, I’d probably conk out long before the hearts game.
As you may know, I have a periodic hobby/fascination with looking at online prison women personals and then looking up their crimes and mugshots and whatnot.
Many of them have a fair amount of tattoos, piercings and are often plastered with makeup and/or have foggy/soft-focus images.
When I manage to find a mugshot (not always easy or possible), they look almost completely different– kind of like young men or very clean-shaven gay men.
Typical crimes:
– Drugs (dealing, taking and/or manufacturing and/or conspiracies thereof)
– Public intoxication (a couple of them in their mugshots still appear drunk lol)
– Drunk driving
– Manslaughter from drunk driving
– Hit and Run
– Thefts of different sorts
– Frauds of different sorts
– Prostitution (even a prostitution ring or two)
– Accessories (sometimes apparently inadvertent) to murder/manslaughter (getaway car, etc.)
– Assaults of different sorts (guns, knives)
– Child abuse/neglect
– Sex with minor
– Murder (often in for life but not always)
There are many others of course all rich in variety.
A little belated for Valentines Day but pick the kind of bad girl you want and go get her.
(Personally, I’m partial to the financial fraud, resisting arrest, rejecting police authority and the general stick-it-to-the-system-somehow-without-really-hurting-anyone girls, but might be willing to consider the stab/shoot the abusive boyfriend in the thigh/ass kind too.).
‘Personally, I’m partial to the financial fraud,….’ Nice, and funny too.
I wouldn’t mess with the Aileen Wuornos types.
Let me look her up…
I just did and that is the face of a meth head.
Just read her tragic life story.
I come across those in my reads, naturally, along with PDF’s for example, of their cases and appeals and stuff like that. Even changes in the law that might affect how long they are in prison.
One woman, perhaps ‘a little’ drugged, leaves baby in the bathtub briefly to goes out to get something– maybe more drugs?– then returns home and oops.
Ya, my spider sense would be tingling long before she came anywhere near me. And I’m not talking about a good tingle either.
My favorite was brief: 95 pounds and HIV positive. Scared?
What a challenge! One is reminded of the Laconic “If” in terms of brevity. Of course the latter was in response to a threat: If you do not surrender, if we take your city we will put all the men to the sword, rape all the women, and enslave all of the children.
And her post was not a response but an offer of combat.
I never came across one who admitted to being HIV positive yet but very often come across smaller ones who often call themselves ‘fun size’. (What kind of fun, hon?)
Presumably, many ‘fun size’ are on the light side– maybe as you write, 95 pounds. If one is 4’11”, that might be ok. But wow, ay?, a pocket prison pen-pal.
When on the beach, if a stone is found, I might roll it over to find a crab or something underneath. Many crabs can be picked up and they won’t pinch you or only pinch a little. Other specimens, however, might be best left alone, under their rocks.
Wow look at you Q putting yourself out there. How interesting this little tidbit is. What sparked this? It seems kinda random in the flow of things. Since this is a draft was there a final response? Or did you not reply to Gavin?
Wow look at you Q putting yourself out there – SSL
===========
I have a whole bunch of these comments that I composed in Open Office Writer and then saved them as drafts. I then copied and pasted them into a CFN comment and submitted them. So, yes indeed, I did reply to Gavin.
Ukranian army thugs dragging innocent family men off the streets to be used as cannon fodder in the war they are losing:
https://twitter.com/21WIRE/status/1625452529600417793?cxt=HHwWgsC-odad4o4tAAAA
Must be the 60th video of this sort I have seen in a month.
Yet, on Fox & CNN, ‘expert’ guests — mostly retired US Army Generals —
insist that Russia is losing and losing badly. The story last week was that Russia had 10,000 kia since Jan. 1 in the battles around Bakhmut. Nothing at all about Ukrainian losses.
This makes me feel physically ill.
‘Even Woked-up Democrat voters begin to suspect that the vaxxes they greeted like a holy deliverance might not be so good for you after all. I’m waiting for Rob Reiner’s head to explode when he starts to notice how many young SAG-AFTRA members are waking up dead in West Hollywood.
More to the point, you are now correct to suspect that the entire Covid-19 episode, from the design of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus to the gene-modification shots put out by Pfizer and Moderna (erroneously labeled “vaccines”), was a joint Intel-DOD operation, not really a public health crisis. The abiding mystery is… why? Why turn Western Civilization upside down and inside out and then try to pound the whole thing down a rat-hole?’ JHK
We all know that the ‘vaccines’ were not what we were told they were, and that governmental overreach was excessive, with the lockdowns and compulsory vaccinations and such.
Yeah, it’s hard to get accurate data regarding mortality rates and illnesses from both the covid itself and the ensuing vaccines. Over 5 billion people have been vaccinated worldwide, and Dr. Bhattacharya himself spoke about the vaccines being especially helpful to the elderly, while still decrying their use among the very young.
Yeah, again, it’s hard to get those numbers isn’t it, the number of lives the vaccine may have saved. Was it 10 million or maybe 20 million? How many elderly were kept off of respirators and out of intensive care?
Actors waking up dead in Hollywood? More likely from drug overdoses than the vaccines. A joint DOD-Intel operation, not really a public health crisis? I doubt it, just a totally botched operation between government and big pharma. Of course, anything is possible, and this high drama conspiracy stuff is the tenon that fits snugly right into this blog’s mortise.
I will say that suspicion can be a good thing, and with today’s world leaders and Biden and the Deep State, don’t ever leave home without it.
Classic TS backpedal. As the truth seeps into his thick skull, he must again save face.
BTW, there is no logic whatsoever in barring distribution of a dangerous, untested substance to children, but encouraging it for highly vulnerable senior citizens.
Just another inverted piece of logic that your tiny brain is incapable of sorting.
“Yeah, again, it’s hard to get those numbers isn’t it, the number of lives the vaccine may have saved. ”
From Ed Dowd’s excellent coffee table book, ‘Unknown Cause” – The Epidemic of Excess Deaths in 2021 and 2022.
“False Statistical Modeling Used to Change out World.
2001: Neil Ferguson, a modeler at Imperial College London, predicted that 150,000 people would die of foot and mouth disease.
Actual number of deaths: 200
2002: Neil Ferguson predicted up to 156,000 dealths in the UK from Mad Cow Disease.
Actual number of deaths: 177
2005: Neil Ferguson predicted that up to 200 million people would die from bird flu.
Actual number of deaths: 282 (over 6 years)
2009: Neil Ferguson predicted that swine flu would kill 65,000 in the UK.
Actual number of deaths: 45.
2020: Neil Ferguson predicted up to 179,000 COVID deaths in Taiwan in the first full year of pandemic.
Actual number of deaths 10
Despite decades of dramatic and persistent failures, Neil Ferguson’s prediction that as many as 2 million Americans would die from COVID in 2020 was used to justify lockdowns, school closures, social distancing and all that followed.
These same failed models are used to support claims that many millions of lives have been saved by COVID vaccines.”
Thank you, excellent breakdown.
Ferguson also snuck off during the covid lockdown sans mask to snuggle up with some woman he was having an affair with, right?
Yep, that too.
My predictions made people get scared and pressed them into taking precautions that ultimately saw the numbers drastically reduced.
See how easy it is to twist covid details?
I will now leave it to The Man They Call Zazelle to do the pretzel in my honor…
Zaz? Take it away!
Say, weren’t you the guy who was caught out of your residence and into another’s in an extramarital affair during lockdown?
Anyone who believes both that the quacksine is either harmful or ineffective to younger people but still believes it ‘helps’ the elderly is a moron.
That would include Dr. Bhattacharya, if that is what he believes.
It makes no sense, to begin with.
Mike Yeadon has explained multiple times that vaccines in general (and specifically flu vaccines) are unhelpful to elderly people because elderly people have senescent immune systems. If your immune system is on the way out, you can’t produce an immune response to a disease, and by the same token neither can you produce an immune response to a vaccine. Even a proper vaccine.
We know the quacksines harm immune systems – yes. So in an elderly person, isn’t that close to a death sentence? How do people believe it’s good for them? Complete insanity.
Mary,
…Being old, an elderly person, is close to a death sentence, also.
I.ve been diagnosed! It’s terminal, and few survive it….
That seems obvious to me, GA. How could an immune system too elderly to respond to a virus possibly respond to a vaccine?
I used to read the CDC reports every year after the flu season, and they would report the efficacy of the previous year’s flu shot. They would relay the data that said that the elderly were less likely to benefit from the flu shot, and then conclude that it was very important for the elderly to take the next year’s shot. Why? That doesn’t follow at all.
Same as people who tell you they are “immuno-comprised” so they need a vaccine. Why? If your immune system doesn’t work, how will a vaccine help you?
Same with the bullshit they put out that vaccine immunity is better than natural immunity.
How could it be? That makes no sense. Being injected with something that stimulates your cells to make part of a virus gives you better immunity than having your immune system fight off the entire virus?
But people believe the most outlandish bullshit, (as you can see from these CFN threads). So the CDC feels free to put data that shows ineffectiveness of the vaccines and then conclude that you should take it anyway. It makes no sense, but people are driven by emotion, not logic.
At Christmas 2021 I had a card from the husband of an English friend in France who was diagnosed with lymphoma before the vaxx rollout. It would clear with chemo, then she’d get new tumours. She must have had two jabs during this time (which may well have caused the new tumours) because in the card I mentioned hubby was saying how pleased they were that her immune system had recovered enough for her to get the booster. It was heartbreaking – she died the following June, probably finished off by the booster.
You blew it buddy, big time. But maybe you lucked out and got a placebo, or at least a low spike dose as did John Az. They’re going for a stealth genocide, so that means not creating a one to one relationship between shots in arms and cardiac arrest.
Don’t press you luck. At least admit the truth to yourself and don’t get any more, even if you can never admit it to us or anyone else.
Hiya, Jarek.
The vaxx, the vaxx, toujours la vaxx.
My beliefs on the vaxx are not as extreme as some. I do not believe that a great master plan to get us to 500 million was hatched with the vaxx. I do not believe that anyone is smart enough to hatch such a plan. I do believe that Fauci and his global accomplises were doing biological warfare research on coronaviruses dsiguised as virus enhancement for vaccine development. Doing good for people has never been a primary motivator for our government, quite the contrary. A bastardized form of coronavirus was developed in Wuhan and it got out, the genesis of Covid. It is not the great killer that the warbirds wanted, but it sure raised enough hell on its own allowing massive governmental control around the world by inciting fear in the ignorant public.
How to make things worse? The top level planners of all this figured out a way to get s proteins, the culprit, into everyones arms. Package it in mRNA technology. The mRNA technology models sounded great. Pump in a messenger RNA molecule to produce a antigen that the immune system would be alerted then destroy in a couple of weeks. Well, again human stupidity got in the way again. Could be more than stupidity too as those in charge may have known about the subsequent effects that the vaxx has had. Lousy injection techniqueallowing the contents into the bloodstream, mRNA converting to DNA in the liver are just two items that may be perpetuating s proteins in the bloodstream for a long time. Shot after shot specializing the immunity system so other problems became unrecognized. Using the s protein in the first place as the antigen was one of the stupidest moves medicine has ever made.
Stupidity, a very common trait of higher tech meatheads, or a scheme to dehumanize the planet, which is it? I think we will never know as all avenues of discovery seem blocked.
I did it when most of the evil effects were still undiscovered and my risk profile said, do it. Never since. My actual adventure with Covid last November told me a secret, I would rather have Covid than my annual sinus cold. To me, the Vaxx is like giving yourself an invitation infection by the s protein or some other damn virus that is hiding in the wings waiting for the immune system to look the other way.
One really bad thing about this whole “adventure ” with Covid is the public will never believe medical science again. Maybe that is a good thing, especially when the Feds get involved.
I can’t imagine waking up dead.
No, seriously.
ack ack, ACK

Have people been distracted from one of the worst disasters in recent decades, the Ohio train wreck? The Automatic Earth had this link …
planetwavesfm.substack.com/p/palestine-ohio-train-wreck-its-the
Luckily I’m 3,000 miles east. Of course the UK has its own history of disasters it tried to cover them up. Being a small country is an incentive to stop the releases being too high.
Good article here too:

“New Jersey’s Fact Sheet says burning vinyl chloride makes it into hydrogen chloride, which easily binds with water to make hydrochloric acid, and phosgene, a deadly gas, the use of which is a war crime. “
My computer blocks that website, even using Brave.
Try searching for ‘IGNITION Monday, February 13, 2023 C&C NEWS’ and it should come up top of the list.
Weird that it would block you, if you still can’t get it. I’ve always assumed my region is the most censored! Although I’m using a VPN via the Netherlands, which is now sinking under the boot of the globalists.
Thanks for posting that, Zarelle. It saved me from the hassle of trying to get the link.
I actually used article on dioxin that John001 posted on this week’s podcast.
This spill and the fire are horrifying in their consequences.
Maybe try again.
It blocked me too, initially, I went through Brave as a link instead, selected its link and it worked. But I also use a Firefox browser plugin (among other anti-ads and anti-assorted-nonsense plugins) called ‘anonymoX’ which might help too, unsure. It is supposed to help anonymize your whereabouts.
Oops, comment went into the wrong place.
Thank you again for posting the content.
You’re welcome. although it’s not the full content.
Ok, don’t go to GreenAlba’s link directly. It still doesn’t work for me, but it works if I go to the site’s ‘front page’ instead and select the Feb 13 link within the site. It may just be a problem with how their server has configured that page.

“IGNITION ? Monday, February 13, 2023 ? C&C NEWS ?
Government experts came up with a plan to blow up millions of gallons of poisonous chemicals after a train wreck. I’ve gathered up all the reliable news in one place for you.
Jeff Childers
Feb 13
Good morning and Happy Monday, C&C! Today I rounded up the Norfolk Southern disaster story into one place for you, since between corporate media and social media, the news is fragmented, hard to piece together, and all the apocalyptic hot takes make for tough sledding. The real news is better, and worse, than people think.
?*NEWS AND COMMENTARY* ?
? While we were all focused on corporate media coverage of military press briefings about the United States’ new war on unidentified weather balloons, which I will cover in more depth tomorrow, another more important story was quietly exploding in a small Ohio town. There’s little substantive media coverage of the alarming ecological disaster unfolding right now in Biblically-named East Palestine, Ohio. It’s been happening for over a week and you are probably just finding out about it.
To set the table, I searched the Wall Street Journal and found a series of bland articles covering the unfolding disaster that abruptly stopped three days ago. It sure looks like the Journal received orders to forget the story or something.
The WSJ’s first story published on February 5th, headlined, “Ohio Train Derailment, Fire Battle Rural Town.” The sub-headline reassured that “Officials say water and air are safe so far, but urge people to ‘stay away from East Palestine.’”
So far! Remember that, about the air and water. The Journal’s February 5th article described the accident like this:
Fifty cars on a Norfolk Southern Corp. train derailed Friday night about 9 p.m., causing a chemical fire. The National Transportation Safety Board said the eastbound train included 141 load cars, nine empty cars and three locomotives. It departed Madison, Ill., and was headed to Conway, Pa., when it derailed.
Mr. Conaway and Fire Chief Keith Drabick said emergency-response officials are aware of 14 cars carrying vinyl chloride, a colorless gas that can easily burn and is used to make polyvinyl chloride hard plastic resin. Because of the smoldering fire, emergency responders haven’t been able to access the derailed cars.
Kurt Kollar, with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s office of emergency response, said officials were monitoring chemicals that reached some nearby streams, but said there is no current risk to the area’s drinking water.
Each of the fourteen chemical cars carried 25,000 to 33,000 gallons of vinyl chloride. That’s close to a half million gallons, or millions and millions of pounds of the chemical. From Encyclopedia Brittanica:
Vinyl chloride, also called chloroethylene, [is] a colourless, flammable, toxic gas belonging to the family of organohalogen compounds and used principally in making polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, a widely used plastic with numerous applications… Vinyl chloride can cause liver damage, and it is classified as a known human carcinogen.
A spill of carcinogens would be remarkably bad timing if a population had somehow injured their cancer-fighting immune responses. Just spitballing.
OSHA considers vinyl chloride dangerous at 1 part per million (PPM). Here is the NJ Department of Health emergency responder reference for vinyl chloride spills, which says burning the chemical can cause an explosion, among other alarming facts:…”
What was the best way to get rid of it? Huge sucking machines or just setting it all on fire?
Norfolk Southern’s website is said to be full of smiling Blacks, especially women. Woke AF. The least competent people must be given the most demanding jobs. Thanatos – the death instinct.
Preventative medicine.
Yes, that’s pretty bad, but the destruction of Nordstream by the US Navy was an enormous environmental disaster too. Not quite as bad as you cooking dinner on your gas range, but bad nevertheless.
I’m being punished for cooking on my gas range, though, while the US isn’t being punished for committing a terrorist act against a friendly nation (50% of the pipeline belongs to Germany) and committing an act of war, as part of NATO, against Russia.
This is how I know the Green New Deal is a hoax. Stuff like this right here.
The hypocrisy and grift is there for everyone to see.
Mr Kunstler, congrats on the video chat with Andrei – Best commentator on Ukraine.
Q said, “If ever there was a relative term, “rightful owner” is it.”
Not relative, but offal.
We own and are responsible for what we create. The Creator has not given ownership to anyone. He has made us stewards and under authority to conduct ourselves according to His law. It is conditional, for ALL.
We don’t even own ourselves – but we are responsible. The owner makes the renters shovel “their” (his) sidewalks when it snows. This fills Libertarians with rage. They are demons after all.
LOL! From what I’m seeing here locally, this one no longer applies. Of course half the owners are similarly negligent too. What’re ya gonna do?
Pepe Escobar poses a number of questions about the Hersh piece (and partially answers them):
httpX://thesaker.is/nord-stream-terror-attack-the-plot-thickens/
A lot of the same questions and observations about the backstory and subtext as my own.
Money quote:
“For all its meticulous reporting, the inescapable feeling remains that what Hersh’s narrative indicts is the Biden combo terror gambit, and never the overall U.S. plan to provoke Russia into a proxy war with NATO using Ukraine as cannon fodder.”
A career of arranged, successes? Never underestimate the power of a “Legendary Journalist” story in politics or the stage.
Yes. A little too convenient having that much access which never seems to get turned off after his “revelations” come to light. Like “Deepthroat” in Watergate, he’s likely being used as a mouthpiece to further an agenda.
He had one source.
One.
Many of the astute have taken his piece apart.
I do enjoy his narratives, though.

“Richard Dawkins vows ‘I’ll use every one’ after scientists condemn words including ‘male’ and ‘female'”
‘Even the phrase “double-blind”, which is often used to describe trials in which neither the participants nor scientists know if someone is on a drug or placebo, has been deemed potentially offensive to those with disabilities, as has the phrase “survival of the fittest”.’
That’s peak idiocy if I ever saw it.
This shit started a loooong time ago (George Carlin nailed it, as you probably know, with his “euphamisms” bit). It’s now gone full around the bend.
Saying male, female, man, woman, mother, father, alien, invasive, exotic and race is offensive and not inclusive? To hell with that. I’ll be using them, too. So will most people.
I applaud Dawkins. Hopefully the backlash he gets won’t force him to retract as many do.
Ahh yes, the age old “naughty words” conundrum. As I recall, such a label only guaranteed that my friends and I would be “using the shit” out of it every chance we got. I think we wore out the word “fuck” in all its variations by the 4th grade or so, and this was in an upper middle class neighborhood in the relatively Victorian 1960’s. My how things have changed.
No, it wasn’t the naughty words bit. It was this one:
https://youtu.be/vuEQixrBKCc
All words that are put off limits are by definition “naughty,” but I know what you were getting at. The current round of word prohibitions are just the same concept extended further. I was tempted to say “to their logical extreme,” but there doesn’t really seem to be much logic to it, other than you should be afraid of saying pretty much anything at all for fear of offending someone.
Dis:
“The current round of word prohibitions are just the same concept extended further. ”
Complemented by the takeover of words that we have had free access to for hundreds of years but now cannot use as we wish without stumbling over the baggage of their new, dystopian uses:
Starting with
“gay.”
“safe.”
“binary”

Did you see the classic Sitzung 22 of the Ausschuss back in the day about the hunt for Drosten’s thesis?
Sure did.
Here is a draft from Jan 4, 2011 that I posted on CFN addressed to no one in particular. The subject is epiphanies:
I’ve had an epiphany. I love epiphanies. They come along for me two or three times a year. They are like brilliant cold hard light shining through crystal clear air on an exqisite building facade. The vision is of some unquestionable truth that arrives suddenly and unbidden.
The current sudden realization is that “the world is not coming to an end” any time soon and certainly not in 2011. So stop worrying about Jim’s long blog post of January 3rd. It will be forgotten in months if not weeks or days. This is not to say that some bad shit won’t happen. It will because it always does. But in the grand scheme we are good through 2011 and probably until 2025.
How do I know this?
Because I live a charmed life that began and will end in the sweet spot of all time and space. So relax. You are along for the ride at least till I’m gone and then you’re on your own. 🙂
Exceptionalism makes everyone think the end is tomorrow!
The truth we are plastic bags dancing in the wind. That’s all.
“Huge greasy bags of mostly water” Star Trek alien

I thought it was “ugly bags of mostly water”.
At least that’s the version I’ve been using all these years.
Maybe, maybe not.
I am so suspicious of our government and their handling of this situation. I really believe that Biden and the Mob are coordinating the destruction of North America, you too, with the globalist powers of the world. That do nothing, evading everything. Is it fear of powers they believe will hurt America, or are they in cahoots seeking the end of American dominance.
Biden is either the biggest coward in American history or the greatest traitor since Benedict Arnold.
Or just a common gangster.
The Q. Chronicles. An epic best seller for the youngsters one day in the post apocalyptic not too distant future.
Who was this Q. Man, this Nostradamus of New Jersey, this Rhabdomancer of Rutgers they’ll ask? The answers for them – like us – will remain forever elusive.
Thanks Dis.
Not really that elusive. His name is Ken.
Remember Q a few years back you posted a newspaper article about yourself. Had your picture and everything.
Yes, I recall.
The wife and I attended a Veterans day ball. I was decked out in a tux. A woman stepped to the microphone and asked if anyone in attendance had served in the military. Several of us raised our hands. We were asked to come forward where she pinned a carnation on our lapels and she thanked me for my service.
Little did she know the greatest danger I faced as an Accounting and Finance Officer in my 3 years at Duluth AFB was getting my finger caught in the check signing machine.
A picture was snapped and found its way into a newspaper.
Ditto, Q. It always struck me that in all my time in the military the only things I ever got formally recognized for were either trivial or merely a bureaucratic formality, usually triggered by an assignment change (PCS – Permanent Change of Station). The things I actually felt most proud of always got lost in the wash. Seems like the corporate world is pretty much the same so far as well. Thankfully, I’ve never been motivated by “atta-boys,” and for the most part have found them to be demeaning and self-serving.
@q
The point is you were in and if you had been called you would have put your life on the line.
For those that do not understand being in the military at times is literally like being in jail parts of your life literally just stop and they are in your business 24 hours a day seven days a week.
Q didn’t recall when I asked him. Let that be a lesson to us all. Neural pathways are very specific. BRH was the one who picked up on it last time too.
Or did Q just not “want” to remember when I asked him?
Oh the tangled webs we weave when first we practice to perceive/deceive.
They also serve who sign the checks.
Shhhhh!
The Tide is tied at half.
“I’ve had an epiphany. I love epiphanies. They come along for me two or three times a year. They are like brilliant cold hard light shining through crystal clear air on an exqisite building facade. The vision is of some unquestionable truth that arrives suddenly and unbidden.
Q,
Yes, happens to me occasionally. The last? …I don’t think that was gas….
Sudden and unbidden truth.

Humanity really needs to have a serious talk about the very real privilege at work in the world.
Just don’t have Ye do the ‘splainin’
Hmmm. Haiti WTH?
Didn’t the Clinton Foundation with support from George the first save Haiti a few years back?
What a crock of crap. I remember the two of them patting each other on the back with the media fawning all over them as globalist superheroes.
Until the futility of the effort showed its face, and the spotlight went off to other places. Now HAiti is a terminal mess
A discussion with Jarek a couple of years ago convinced me that the Black groups are great sports figures, but they cannot organize much of anything. Look at our mighty cities today under Black rule, disgusting is inadequate. Haiti is a nation of Blacks that needs Whites to rule to get anything done right.
Same with Puerto Rico, and Jamaica.
Call me a bigot, this is one time where I think niceity needs to take a back seat to reality.
Just a thought, I wonder what the WEF could do with a place like Haiti. If globalization is the big answer for the future, I wonder if Haiti would be a place for all the “experts” to ply their wares.
Haiti & Dominican Republic were doing pretty well before Christopher Columbus & the the French colonized it.
Classic feminine “thinking”. As if the land is the nation and not the people – who were a totally different group or groups than the current Blacks.
But this logic, North America was fine until we came. Whites are the blight. Time for Mary to sign up with antifa.
In fact, the gentle Arawak Indians were being eaten by the Caribs who had migrated into the Caribbean (which is named after them) from northeastern South America.
Thus this post is literally wrong on every level, both in theory and in fact. This isn’t unusual for Mary.
“Call me a bigot,..”
“Some etymologists believe the Old French version of bigot, which means “sanctimonious,” was used by the French to mock the Normans, a people who lived in France and invaded Britain in 1066. Allegedly, the Normans used the Old English expression bi God so often that the French nicknamed them bigots. This idea is backed up by the fact that the French during Joan of Arc’s time called the English the “goddamns.” ”
Would you rather be a by-god or a god-damned ?
The latter were the Saxon yeoman who were as foul mothed as the lower class English are still today. Instead of saying by By God, they said God damn.
The lower classes are often worse people than the upper. A fact that they ladies, both male and female, cannot fathom.
Haiti should replace Davos.
It would be great for Haiti’s economy.
Also for some new infrastructure, a la an “Olympic city.”
Plus skills training for the locals.
They already speak French, the language of diplomacy, so they wouldn’t have to learn that . . .
Haitian prostitutes deserve access to the world’s best clients, too.
Imagine Davos luminaries navigating around that cesspool, their drivers & platoons of bodyguards engaging in wild gunfights at roadblocks installed by vicious gangs ruling on the streets.
“Imagine Davos luminaries navigating around that cesspool…”
I did. It looks a little different…
An AC-130 coming in low over the town plaza filled with mothers waiting for the free baby formula provided by the Clinton Foundation. Chelsea Clinton assisting her daughter at the controls of a 30 mm Gatling gun. WHAM!WHAM!WHAM!
Olympic cities are horrible – read up on what they do to cities’ poorer populations.

“What’s the most awkward aspect of getting AIDS?”
“Convincing your parents that you’re Haitian.”
Getting those cooties off the Haitian whores would be an “occupational hazard” for the denizens of the WEF, were they to alight on that jewel of the Caribbean for their sessions.
After the American revolution threw off England, and the French revolution overthrew the monarchy, the slaves of Haiti rose up and threw off the French.
But in 1825 the French demanded reparations. (A twist on the demands now being made by AODS here).
Haiti ended up paying France $25 billion.
In the 80s I remember the Evil Reagan demanding that Japan throw its small rice farmers off their land (the same way the US was throwing its small farmers off their land), and import US rice instead.
Japan refused to do that and they were punished.
But I had no idea until the 2010 earthquake that the US had done the same thing to Haiti.
They casually told us in 2010 that in 1980 Haiti had been self-sufficient in rice growing but by 2010 they imported most of their rice, after small rice farmers had lost their land.
Then the Red Cross and the Clinton Foundation took the millions donated to Haiti and used it for other purposes. The other purposes include the Clintonites trafficking children.
The US supported Papa Doc and Baby Doc for decades and then overthrew the elected president Aristide twice.
So we have no idea how Haiti would have developed without interference from France and the USA. Who knows. But I would assume they would be able to feed themselves, at least.
Sneering at their incompetence is a bit like Tonya Harding sneering at Nancy Kerrigan’s ice skating ability after the kneecapping.

Singapore recently rescinded the mask mandate for people riding subways and buses. But, it turns out that a small percentage of people still insist on wearing their surgical face masks. They literally can’t let it go, like a 20 year old bloke who insists upon still wearing diapers. There are Risks, and there are Risks….
Just be thankful that you’re not living in East Palestine, Ohio. Then, you’d need to wear a hazmat suit. This chemical spill may turn out to have a huge psychological impact on the American People’s view of the Political System similar to the propaganda effect of Chernobyl in 1986 in the Ukraine upon the Russians? I read a good book about the 1986 Chernobyl meltdown. Chernobyl was basically the result of government bureaucracy. The government bureaucrats wanted to impress the higher ups by running a very dangerous test that spun out of control while the bureaucrats tried to cover their asses and pretend that it wasn’t happening. I got the impression that in the case of the Chernobyl meltdown that many of the bureaucratic pathologies impelling management failure in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant were because the local government had run out of money and the workers were moonlighting and scrounging for extra income….
But, it turns out that a small percentage of people still insist on wearing their surgical face masks. They literally can’t let it go, like a 20 year old bloke who insists upon still wearing diapers.
Quite predictable. It’s now a conditioned response. Yes, humans are little more than lab rats in that regard. That’s why it’s so important to resist the conditioning up front in the first place. It’s nice to be old so I don’t live long enough to see all this play out fully. Human slaves enslaved by their own conditioning. Buy this not that, do this not that, take this drug not that, live like this not like that, support this not that, etc. Inverted totalitarianism indeed!
People become a composite and sum total of all of their manifold neuroses? A society of lunatics? A Ship of Fools?
Exactly. All of their neuroses and all of the psychoactive drugs they take to “control” them.
DA, did you ever consider people who have comprised immune systems due to chemotherapy, AIDS, leukemia, asthma etc, need the purported extra protection a mask may provide in this Age of Communicable Diseases?
‘Comprimised’
Compromised
Since when? Never was a recognized problem before. “Age of Communicable Diseases?” When was this declared? I must have missed the memo.
Have you read ‘Love in the Age of Cholera?’
To double down on that, I think what you’re seeing for the most part with people with those conditions is said conditioning already at work. I’ve said since the beginning of all this bullshit that the power of suggestion is HIGHLY underrated as a cause of disease and dysfunction. I’ve seen it in action personally, and it’s powerful indeed.
I’ve got the book but haven’t read it. Will it elucidate things for me?
Dis, it’s a great book!
Have you read ‘Love in the Age of Cholera?’
Where is Q on this one?
There are now hundreds of studies out showing masks do nothing.
Even the official psyops Dr. Wen says they don’t (of course, after they were forced on people for 2 years).
Unless you’re wearing one of those ones that surgeons use. And even those don’t stop a virus.
When I first heard that there was a separate black national anthem played at the superbowel, I thought it was a joke, but it wasn’t.
Apparently, Kari Lake refused to stand up for it. Good on her.
How many national anthems are we going to have in burgeoning Clown World? One for the TRAs is next, I am thinking. Then sports contests will spend half their time doing satanic half-times, and the first part singing or playing umpteen different ‘anthems’.
Getting more idiotic every day.
LBGQt community demanding their Anthem ‘YMCA’ by the Village People be played too. That’ll make 3 anthems to sit thru before the Big Game.
I predict that in the 2025 Super Bowl – The Last Super Bowl – there will be more twerking than running.
It might be a nice sentiment, but it sure doesn’t sound very “anthemy.” I think we could do without anthems altogether before sporting events – not to mention the abominable flyovers and related orgiastic military events. Not the time or the place. Just another conditioned response for the slobberers.
The people need this kind of thing. Shame on you.
The wise Jefferson didn’t publish his book where he made Jesus into an ethical teacher, deleting all the miracles and God talk. Just for his own class and group of friends. He wouldn’t have dreamed of disturbing the people with this kind of rubbish.
Need? The people have been conditioned to “need” a whole lot of things that aren’t good for them, with more being created by the day. They apparently “need” obscene deviant sexual fetish halftime shows now too, but I think they could still be weaned off it without too much effort.
Divide and conquer.
Over and over.
You bet. Saw a tweet fight over Kari Lake refusing to stand up for it.
They’ll fight over anything.
Kari was making jokes about gay orgies at a Republican event. Mary’s kind of gal.
Do you remember when Obama made a speech to the residents of Flint, Michigan who were distraught over lead in the Flint water supply, and Obama ceremoniously drank a glass of water in front of the crowd as a stunt?
“ Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, were told Wednesday afternoon that municipal water is “safe to drink” after officials received new water testing results. The update from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s office comes just one day after officials urged residents to only drink bottled water amid concerns that chemicals from the Feb. 3 train derailment may have seeped into local water sources.
As of Wednesday afternoon, municipal water testing results showed “no detection of contaminants in raw water from the five wells that feed into East Palestine’s municipal water system,” the governor’s office said in a news release.”
“ Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, were told Wednesday afternoon that municipal water is “safe to drink” after officials received new water testing results.”
Do you remember what Matthias Desmet says in his excellent book “The Psychology of Totalitarianism” about the use of testing, and the manipulation of test results and manipulation of the numbers by self-interested bureaucrats?
“Safe & Effective”
The side effects are vary rare….
Statistically insignificant….
Benefits outweigh the risks….
95% effective….
“By changing the definition and standard for what is “Safe” and by cleverly adjusting the method for calculating the safety test results, and by excluding from the tests all of the people who got sick and died, the bureaucrats now determine that the water is safe to drink for humans, but not for fish and livestock. “
If humans could be eaten, and thus become valuable, this could change.
This is what I would call resolving thesis, and antithesis downwards.
Another prediction:
By 2030 McDonalds hamburgers will be at least 50% “human by-product”. Order online and have sent to the 3-D printer in your pod within 1 minute!
We are all Arnie Hammer…
This is where private companies should come forward and offer to test. They ones that have are under contract with Norfolk Southern and/or the Federal Government. Utterly worthless. And for an individual to hire a company takes 15,000 dollars – ridiculous.
You’re right: an exact analog to the Covid situation.
This is why Capitalism can’t run a nation.
This one from my Draft folder is dated Mar 12, 2011 and the subject is Peak Everything:
“Vlad, you asked what my brother thought about “Peak Everything.” I emailed him (he’s in Miramar, FL) and asked your question but, so as not to muddy the waters, I changed the subject to merely “Peak Oil.”
My question read as follows:
I’m sure you are aware of the theory of “Peak Oil.” Do you think it’s a valid and imminent danger or an over-blown concern for worry-warts?
True to form, the subject of his emailed response was “This is my answer” but contained not one word from his own keyboard. Rather, it contained an attached Daffy Duck cartoon.
Daffy is reading a newspaper…First panel: “According to a new survey 48 percent of Americans say “I couldn’t care less” while 36 percent say “I could care less,” which makes, of course, no sense.
Next panel, Daffy continues to read: “A third of that 36 percent report knowing that it makes no sense…”
Last panel: “… but couldn’t care less.”
I hope this has been helpful, Vlad.”
Some people claim that “mass formation” does not exist.
They pooh-pooh the mere mention of the theory and the phenomenon.
Everyone except your own government. In fact, many people at the top were both feared, and made use of it:
“In 1993, declassified documents from 1952 revealed that the CIA’s Psychological Strategy Board made a mandate to purposefully debunk all UFO reports for national security concerns. They concluded that when it came to the subject of UFOs, the American people were dangerously gullible and prone to, “hysterical mass behavior.”
A curse and a gift
No, they claim that the concept as described by Desmet is fallacious, as it is an attempt to absolve guilt, when in reality, those who went along with the fraud did so out of plain old fear of what others would think and what might happen to them in terms of state-backed retribution.
They made the same criticism of Arendt.
To the point that later on in life she “revised” her theory to placate her critics.
Yet here we are in the so-called “modern age” witnessing how Arendt’s original conclusion was correct all along.
Certainly there is always a sociopathic element who know better and willfully embrace “evil”, but more difficult to accept is the fact that the vast majority are normal and good people who become dutiful automatons either unaware or self-barricaded from their ignorance. People can’t accept that the majority of their fellows are that easily manipulated.
It hurts the ego.
Nah. The central issue with Desmet is that he claims the masses don’t know what they are doing — that they are in some kind of mania.
Many know what they are doing; they are just too afraid to do what is right.
You can’t wake up people pretending to be asleep, Peebles. For them, it’s a moral failure as Nigowl says.

Hi, Pepe, if you’re lurking.
If you people had any integrity whatsoever, you’d be marching with the Libertarians not the Communists – Jarek.
Political Power, Energy, Decline & Relocalization
Another word for power is energy– a different form of power but a fundamental one that underscores/underpins political power.
——
USA’s ostensible proxy attempt to ‘secure’ (so to speak) Syria (near the oil areas) so far failed, thanks in part, perhaps large part, to Russian intervention.
USA’s ‘proxy’ attempt to ‘secure’ Venezuela (another major oil power) so far failed, thanks in part, perhaps large part, to Russia. (Whatever happened to Juan Guaidó?)
You may recall that Russia flew a couple of bombers (to say nothing of anything else) to Venezuela a few years ago. Russia’s cozy with Cuba which is cozy with Venezuela and maybe other countries in the area as well. The USA’s ‘backyard’.
Brazil may have a fair bit of oil too but, AFAIK, much of it is very deep and/or hard to get at and there aren’t many places around the globe that have the sort of formations that lend themselves as easily to fracking like in the USA.
USA’s fracking foray is quickly declining.
Fracking wells apparently deplete much faster than conventional wells. Just check out those sites that bean-count peak oil and related. USA may be long past peak frack.
USA is a net oil importer and may also be one of the top oil consumers per capita. This does not bode well for it when it is losing its own concentrated portable energy sources, is less able to secure them elsewhere (‘no one likes Empire, America’) and, to boot, appears to be being snafu-ed in its attempts in large part by Russia. Small wonder perhaps why everything has been, to quote ‘The Golden Golem of Greatness’, “Russia Russia Russia…”.
KSA (Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia) has apparently ‘pivoted’ more toward Russia. This may signal an eventual/fundamental pivot away from the USA, which is one of its big oil consumers. KSA may also be hitting peak oil, and may already be in serious decline as well.
China and other countries on that general continent (that includes Europe, Middle East, India, etc.) are developing a new Silk Road– The Belt And Road Initiative. It’s supposed to efficiently link many areas together in a more relatively-localized (at least per land-mass) and efficient economic hub.
Canada has its tar/oil-sands but I’m unsure as to the viability of them going forward, as it is a bit like fracking insofar as relatively more energy is required to be invested for less of a return on it than the mostly-already-picked ‘lower-hanging-energy-fruit’.
Europe’s in a pickle, energy-wise, especially where they’re blowing up pipelines from Russia going to Europe.
Finland and Sweden seem to be having problems joining NATO, but they may be seeing a kind of existential threat to their energy security and that might be a big enough reason/impetus to join NATO and try to have a go at Russia– the largest country in the world by land and perhaps even various eonomically-relevant resources– and its resources that are still rich in energy.
If USA plays its cards properly, it will transcend quickly its ‘5 Stages of Grief‘ and try to help negotiate and more local, fair, equitable and reasonable geopoliticeconomic strategy, perhaps along the lines of a North American- South American ‘Silk Road’.
(And since people are crossing the American South border anyway.)
As for Europe, it appears like it’s going to have to consider giving up on NATO and Ukraine and join Russia and company and their Neo Silk Road because it’s already is joined to Russia by land.
======
The views expressed here are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the owner or owners of this site nor its participants.
The US is occupying 30% of Syria, the part with the oil. They are stealing the oil, while Syrians go without.
The occupied part of Syria is also where Syria grows its wheat. The US alternates between sometimes burning the wheat fields and sometimes stealing the wheat, while Syrians go hungry.
So I don’t know what you mean by- the US attempt to steal Syria’s oil has failed. It most certainly has not failed, it is ongoing.
The rest of it seems more accurate.
It appears that Iran and Saudi Arabia are moving towards a re-opening of the peace talks they were working towards when the US blew up Iran’s diplomat, Gen. Soleimani, on the airport road as he arrived in Iraq to hold talks.
How will the US stop this rapprochement? Who knows, but I have no doubt that plans are already in motion.
Zerohedge is censoring reports out of E. Palestine Ohio, USA.
The entire Mississippi watershed is contaminated.
MSM says, “Norfolk-Southern”?
Payback for Nordstream 1 & 2 ?
Looks like an inside job though?
Might even be an accident.
But as Rahm Emmanuel said, “Never let a crisis go to waste”. We can be sure that those in charge will make it worse.
Could be an accident but if they make it worse it becomes more like an incident right?
Good point.
“The entire Mississippi watershed is contaminated. ”
That statement may be true but the entire Miss. watershed is not contaminated from this accident on the Ohio/Penn border. That’s simply a physical impossibility. Unless water flows uphill these days. The hyperbole surrounding this train wreck is off the charts. Sure they burnt a shitload of plastic. Shit happens. The dark cloud I see growing are lawyers circling overhead. It’s not like thousands of tons of plastic are not burned everyday in this country. The hillbilly scrappers burn pvc off their copper wire collections by the ton.
Sola dosis facit venenum
Take 14.9 g of lead. Reduce it to pellets 1 mm3 in size. Sprinkle those pellets randomly across the US. See any effect?
Now, take another 14.9 g of lead. Put it into the head of the President at high velocity. See any effect?
Hillbilly scrappers are having nowhere the environmental impact of this train derailment. This is more than “Shit Happens”, on the shit-meter, this is a “Shit Storm”.
Yes there will be lawyers, but no, there won’t be justice.
Yea I hear 3500 fish were killed. When the Pittsburg mills were running full bore I would imagine there was not even a fish to kill in the Ohio River. The train jumped the track and was on fire.The cat was out of the bag. What would you have done BB? Stand back with your binocs and just let the whole thing run into the river? A floating, flaming, Shit Storm as you call it. They burned it off. problem solved. Plastics- can’t live with ’em can’t live without ’em.
I think you’re missing my point elmo.
My point was: “the dose makes the poison”. This trainwreck will cause more environmental damage than a bunch of hillbillies burning PVC, because it is concentrated in time and space.
I don’t know what I would have done – and that wasn’t my point anyway – as I don’t have enough information to propose a solution.
“…problem solved.” Kinda early to make that call, but go ahead.
As far as your question about the President I probably wouldn’t notice much of an effect. He’s pretty much brainless already.
If you had conducted the experiments I proposed, I think you would have seen a very significant difference between the two effects.
You’ve really assimilated. You’re a Yankee who hates these alien Americans, these crackers.
Good point about the general pollution of course. You can’t drink any of this water without a lot of treatment. But locally, and that means a lot more than one miles, things have gotten much worse.
3500 fish? That’s comically exact, and probably a very low estimate.
Wait a minute. Hillbilly Scrappers burn off the PVC to get at the copper? And all this time I’ve been cutting it off with a razor knife like a sucker.
You’re not supposed to say that because it doesn’t fit the narrative.
49% of Americans have zero retirement savings. The median savings of the other 51% is a bit over US$60,000.
Somebody is going to have to take the blame for that?
The Elites may need to get the Life Expectancy way, way, way down?
I read that based upon research coming out of Australia that a 30 year old bloke who takes 5 mRNA jabs will only live to 54 years of age. And that probably doesn’t include all of the “Stubbies”?
Well that is why they are also ratcheting up and inciting war and conducting mass poisonings and directed wave disasters imo
The trick might be to get people in the ground before they can start collecting their SS benefits, but allow them to live long enough to pay into the system for a good chunk of their lives. 54 is a good age because by that time you have been paying in for 30 years already.
I wouldn’t doubt they are making those sorts of calculations.
I don’t post anything on Covid, the Vaccination etc.; I barely got thru the required biology courses in College. However, the State of Ct finally released a town by town list of state residents who purportedly died from Covid 2020 thru 2022, over 6000 people. It was an eye opener in that the vast majority of the deceased were super old, I mean like 90-104 years old. Many more were in their 80s & high 70s. Hardly any kids thank goodness, and only a handful of people in the 20-45 range. A demographer or an epidemiologist would have to conclude that this was mostly a virus that affected the elderly above all. This information seems pertinent and I wonder why it was not widely reported, which would have went a long way to alleviate the fear & anxiety that was prevalent 2020-2021.
“…I wonder why it was not widely reported, which would have went a long way to alleviate the fear & anxiety…”
I think you answered your own question.
It was reported and called the boomer remover almost right off the bat.
Now factor in the statistical disappearance of the flu and no evidence of a novel Corona virus (one “Covid-19”) ever existing.
Because their intention was to scare us, BRH.
People ages 18 to 34 are the least likely to be saving, with 56% reporting that they are not currently contributing to a retirement plan like an IRA or a 401(k).
Nearly half of consumers said they aren’t planning to contribute to an IRA because they can’t afford to.
Can you pass the bag of cheese doodles over?
Nothing new, but also a question to which the answer is not one dimensional.
Even here in Europe, I can count on my hand the number of people I have met who own a house or have any real savings.
ZeroHedge has a contribution examining the police state. Long to the point, it is correct about the intended outcome.
Why do they want you to embrace the destruction of the police state as it stands?
So that you will accept The surveillance state that will replace it.
Predictive over reactionary. No privacy equals freedom
That’s a salient point. I think it was last week I posted about a woman in ultra lib Park Slope, Brooklyn (a NYPost Story) who was assaulted on the street near her home; her dog beaten to death and she herself sustaining serious head injuries and losing an eye. The crux of the story was that her neighbors, and the victim herself, were reluctant to call the police because they did not want to be accused of “Perpetuating Racism”, and suggested as an alternative, installation of a battery of Surveillance Cameras on every street, building, park, & street corner.
When I reached ‘dog beaten to death’ my assumption was confirmed. Thanks to a four-year apprenticeship with Colin Flaherty, RIP.
NYC, Brooklyn. I was born there.
If you check racial breakdown. lots of non whites.
If I recall a dead body was found in Prospect Park. creepy.
WHITE GUILT IS THE CRUX OF YR SORRY TALE.
“Perpetuating Racism”,ergo the attacker was a youth.
Time to short NYSE: NSC?
“The train, which originated from Madison, Illinois, on the evening of Feb. 1, broke down at least once before derailing in East Palestine, Ohio, on Feb. 3, according to employees familiar with the matter.
The employees say there were concerns among those working on the train over what they believed was the train’s excessive length and weight — 151 cars, 9,300 feet long, 18,000 tons — before it reached East Palestine, which contributed to both the initial breakdown and the derailment.”
Jim cannot bring himself to speak the reality. In the past, our oligarchs/elites were WASPs. Now they are Jews. That is the difference.
ANOTHER ONE WITH IT’S THE jOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOS FAULT.

Actually, they’re WASSs – White Anglo-Saxon Satanists.
Not that Anglo-Saxons come in any other colour, so you can call them ASSes, and the previous version ASPs.
LOL!
So Indians and Pakis can’t be English? Or do you admit that England has nothing to do with the English anymore, except in a historical sense, one now being increasingly suppressed.
British Indians and Pakistanis tend to consider themselves British, rather than English, when they live in England. Scottish Indians and Pakistanis have less trouble considering themselves Scottish – and British.
But none of them can ever be Anglo-Saxons, pretty obviously, which has some very tenuous relevance to my post, for those determined to use everything possible as a shoehorn for their obsessions. I can never be Anglo-Saxon either, of course. Perhaps I should refer to myself as ‘largely Scandinavian’, partly Celtic, and partly a mixture of who–the-heck-knows-what, but that seems to add unnecessary complications to life and strkes me as a waste of mental energy.
My understanding is that British Pakistanis or Indians in England are less likely to consider themselves English because some of the English make them feel this way. I have no investment in any of the feelings and/or observations of any of the parties involved.
When white people are said to have a problem discussing the topic of white privilege they call it “white fragility”. It ignores that “white people” perhaps do not appreciate being lumped-in to one big guilty group on account of skin color only.
The anti-semitism charge is another example of fragility. It is a reflexive charge when Jewish people do not appreciate being lumped-in to one big guilty group.
A little universality is in order.
White people’s problem with the hilarious notion of white privilege™ has nothing to do with fragility. It’s more bullshit detector overload.
Cultures that have faired poorly in the civilizational sweepstakes look on the endless discovery, innovation and achievement of White civilization and develop a sad. As the highest Marxist virtue is victimhood and the highest Marxist goal is reduction to the lowest common denominator, the weak tea of white privilege™ checks both boxes.
Poorly performing cultures are not to blame for their lack of achievement because that achievement has been retarded by white privilege™ (the Wakanda-would-be-a-reality-if-not-for-whitey pseudo-argument). And of course White people would not have achieved so much without their coveted white privilege™ (a cursory understanding of logical precepts would perhaps point one in the direction of concluding that achievement itself might just create the tiniest little bit of privilege in succeeding at the aforementioned civilizational sweepstakes).
Cultural losers grasping on to victimhood and grievance makes psychological sense. The white eunuchs who are tortured by the burdens of their “privilege” do not. They are evolutionary dead ends and in the coming world, evolutionary dead ends will end up, well, dead. Nature always bats last.
That could be true, but there should be just as much incredulity directed at those who seek to take credit from the work of others as there is towards those who seek to pin guilt by association.
It is a long fall from the shoulders of giants, best to avoid getting tripped-up
Thank you for saying “a little”. As Rabbi Hillel said, If I’m not for me, who will be?” We must be for ourselves, first and foremost. They are. That’s the different between us and them.
It’s largely true. You people are so weak.
Of course there’s much blame to go around. Our own native Elite sold us out for individual and class gain. And there still around, rich and powerful, and in with the Jewish Elite who rule the West by and large.
I guess even hell has its moments.

“The UN was a mere collective of Third World hustles and rackets. And everybody knew it, but the developed world played along as a sop to these sad-sack nations and their greedy officials because the grift was chump-change.”
Sad sack nation. Greedy officials. Chump-change.” Allrighty then… but how are today’s US, Canadian and west European officials working out for everyone?

Well now you are talking about the 4th world, not the 3rd world
The following was a draft dated 3/25/2011 concerning veganism. Old timers here will recall Asoka.
Asoka, I read your long copy and paste up-thread about the benefits to the land of vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. But have you considered that when a non-vegetarian/non-vegan host (i.e. a member of the vast majority), holds a dinner party, a vegetarian guest is 5* times more problematic, and a vegan is 100* times more annoying than any guest who is free of these dietary foibles? I’ll bet that has never crossed your mind.
It’s not bad enough that a host must take account in planning a menu that some people are “intolerant” to everything under the sun – lactose, gluten, seafood, peanuts, etc. (though half, I think, are neuroses) – but to top it off our dinner party host gets word at the eleventh hour that a male invitee will be bringing along his new vegan girlfriend, “if that’s OK.” (Does anyone know what the gender breakdown of these food Nazis is? I’d guess 9 out of ten are female.)
Now the host has to fret over what degree of nonsensical vegan orthodoxy this last-minute guest adheres to. We know, of course, a platter full of sizzling steaks might induce fainting spells but is cheese on the pasta dish out of bounds? Are butter and eggs in the cake batter a no-no? Will she look askance at someone wearing leather shoes? And what if she spots a coat in the closet with a fur collar?
The goal of veganism is to neither harm nor exploit animals but tell me this…did the vegan girlfriend above break the rules when she got knocked up and had an abortion? I guess you have to draw the line on orthodoxy somewhere.
* Q’s wife’s estimate
Does Asoka still have a condo in DC? Is he still working for Homeland Security?
He sent someone to talk to me in person. Did you know that?
That’s too bad.
It would have been a real feat if he sent someone to speak to you not in person.
They did that too.
My phone would tell me I was going to die.
Then it would hang up.
The symptoms of paranoia can include:
Being defensive, hostile, and aggressive.
Being easily offended.
Believing you are always right and having trouble relaxing or letting your guard down.
Not being able to compromise, forgive, or accept criticism.
My phone tells me it is going to die all the time.
I plug it in.
Hello Asoka.

Did you know that? – K-Dog
=============
I did not know that! Why? And what did his emissary have to say?
What about skin color? He portrayed himself as Black but I was always skeptical.
He was consistently a lefty.
I told him I would outlast him on this blog and I was right. He returned using various screen names (one I think was Carol) but we could always recognize his beliefs and writing style. In that sense he was like Jarek / Vlad / Jaego / Janos.
Interesting, I always had a hard time determining if someone is lefty by way of typeface
Your personality is a strong ‘tell’. A poker player would be on to you in a heartbeat. Like our friend Vlad/Jarek, your odor gives you away. No typeface can hide you.
He wore a black suit. Bright white shirt, no tie.
He said a lot of things. It would not serve me to relate what he told me. But:
“The American people will get through this, They won’t have what they have now, but they will make it through.”
I have to be careful, Q. I don’t want the fun and games to start again. I am doing fine amusing myself these days. I do not need help.
I don’t want to be a real life Michael Douglas in a real life version of The Game. The 1997 American thriller film. Again. I’ll pass. My bones are too old for that shit.
I was visited by a foreign “exchange student”, might have been Chinese.
What was he wearing? Well, uh, let’s see, he was wearing a red argyle sweater, and tan trousers, and red shoes… No, he’s not retarded.
Did your student know things about you that only someone listening on your phone could know?
The dude was obvious ex-military. Too old to be a Mormon doing his mission thing. In case your insensitive heartless ass wants to bring them into it.
Asoka lived in an Adobe hut in Arizona on $12,000 per year. Or so he told us.
He was making fun of Guy McPherson. For those that don’t know. Guy is a peak oil guru who lost his shit.
Complete Mommy Government: Getting Acquainted With Asoka
“…The military is complete socialism. The[y][sic] own your ass… you are the means of production (war being the product).
The military is complete mommy government. You are government controlled and the government provides you with everything: a haircut, your toothbrush, a bed, a pillow, all of your clothing, all of your food, training, transportation, etc.
Mommy military tells you what time to go to bed and what time to get up. Complete government control. Complete dependency on mommy government. Complete ownership of the means of production: you!…” ~ asoka February 2, 2010 at 3:09 pm

With every passing day, life in the American Police State increasingly resembles life in the dystopian television series The Prisoner.
First broadcast 55 years ago in the U.S., The Prisoner—described as “James Bond meets George Orwell filtered through Franz Kafka”—confronted societal themes that are still relevant today
While luxurious, the Village’s inhabitants have no true freedom, they cannot leave the Village, they are under constant surveillance, all of their movements tracked by militarized drones, and stripped of their individuality so that they are identified only by numbers.
Throughout the series, Number Six is subjected to interrogation tactics, torture, hallucinogenic drugs, identity theft, mind control, dream manipulation, and various forms of social indoctrination and physical coercion in order to “persuade” him to comply, give up, give in and subjugate himself to the will of the powers-that-be.
Eighteenth century social theorist Jeremy Bentham envisioned the panopticon prison to be a cheaper and more effective means of “obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example.”
Bentham’s panopticon, in which the prisoners are used as a source of cheap, menial labor, has become a model for the modern surveillance state in which the populace is constantly being watched, controlled and managed by the powers-that-be while funding its existence.
”
We find ourselves monitored, managed, corralled and controlled by technologies answering to government and corporate rulers.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I referenced this article further up.
It is rather disheartening to contemplate how so many dull people do not realize that contemporary policing cannot be abolished without a replacement of sorts.
Predictive surveillance as a substitute
An algorithm to determine your next move and illegal behavior.
There will always be those who do not care if they get away with a crime, but what of them if they already know you don’t care and already “know”your next move
Sort of like self-checkout in grocery stores replacing real people you are sayin. Delightful.
“Predictive surveillance as a substitute
An algorithm to determine your next move and illegal behavior.”
GTFO
Have not heard of that one. ChatGPT?
A notice in extremely small print appeared in our Weekly Free Shopper newspaper, informing the public that surveillance cameras and listening devices were being installed in the town forest, on trails along the Farmington River, and on Talcott Mountain, FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC. I’ve never felt unsafe in any of those places, and indeed, altho well hidden, you could see some of the cameras if you looked for them.
In fact, whenever I leave the house, wherever I go, I automatically assume I’m being surveilled. Am I paranoid?
A few years ago I stopped at a garage sale & found a radar detector, new in the box. $2, I took a shot. It was an interesting little device, with an added feature that detected the presence of CCTV cameras. Driving around town it was going off so much it was annoying. Every stoplight, every streetlight, every business, every store front, every govt office, and many private homes, have cameras.
Am I paranoid?
No, you are not. Odd how we feel we have some “privacy”, but as soon as someone finds themselves in trouble of some sort, their entire text/email/browser/physical and vehicle location history comes to light in a matter of hours or days.
If you mistakenly drop a kleenex while strolling on a sidewalk, someone, somewhere, likely knows. “Goes in the file”.
Lord only knows what kind of surveillance is built into new cars these days, too. Camera outside for backing up…but is there one (or more) inside too? OnStar always built-in, but don’t have a subscription (who does?), still probably recording you calling the lady who just cut you off a c-bomb. “Goes in the file”.
They didn’t build all this tech infrastructure to not keep tabs.
Or maybe I’m just paranoid.
And don’t even get me started if you have a newer TV.
‘If you mistakenly drop a kleenex while strolling on a sidewalk, someone, somewhere, likely knows. “Goes in the file”’.
This will be dealt with in real time once you have your digital ID/social credit, although you may not notice that you have lost 5 points for dropping the kleenex until the next time you go to buy something. Or perhaps it will ping straight away?
Fetterman just checked himself into Walter Reed for clinical depression.
I realize the guy has multiple issues, glad he’s getting help. But wtf is he doing sitting in the Senate when he’s either barely alive (strokes, light-headedness) or now depressed, when he holds one of the higher offices in the land.
We want this fragile being making decisions for the land? That he didn’t bow out, to me, does not show bravery…it shows selfishness.
He’s been in office only a month, this is his second hospitalization.
Perhaps some kind of record.
Even William Henry Harrison made it 32 days in office before he took the plunge…
You people are heartless. This is only his second job and he’s only recently living away from parents basement. Give the orc, er, man, a break
Came across this accidentally when looking into something about the encephalitis lethargica epidemic that happened around the time of the 1918 flu (if that’s what it was).

Although it’s not clear from the article that vaccine trials are feasible. Quarantine is mentioned … just for the sick or for the healthy too, one might wonder?
This is fantastic:

Sucks it has to come to this to point out how stupid all of this crap is in our society. A nice jab at “Mayor Pete” (now our esteemed “US Secretary of Transportation”), who didn’t even talk about this publicly for 10 days, while he toured and did speaking engagements talking about diversity.
Sucks to be from East Palestine (or anywhere near there) though. I’m supposed to go to Cleveland in five weeks for work. I think I’ll be bringing bottled water, even though it’s an hour and a half northwest of this shitstorm.

Following is the draft preamble to my daughter’s wedding:
Hear! Hear! Your attention please!
If you have not already done so, please turn off all cell-phones, I-phones, and I-pads…
all Gameboys, Blackberries, Blueberries, Strawberries and all other electronic fruits and devices of whatever make and model…whether Apple, Verizon, Nokia, Sprint, T-Mobile, Deutsche Telecom or what have you.
Kindly cease and desist from any sort of voice communication, texting, tweeting or twittering and also refrain from any side conversations with the person next to you…
For we have IMPORTANT BUSINESS to conduct here today…
Joyous, mysterious and profound business that requires your undivided attention…because you are here to witness and support a young man and young woman from among our number who, in a few moments, will enter into the most serious contract of their entire lives…way bigger than buying a home with a 30 year mortgage. It’s the Marriage Contract.
Who would have thought 38 years ago next Friday, when I married Bo, that I’d be officiating my own daughter’s wedding in this beautiful setting in NY’s Central Park as a documented minister of the Universal Life Church?
Let me explain how that works:
For the appropriate modest fee plus tax, certain documents, and a certificate suitable for framing — similar to the kind you might get at work for completing an on-line ethics course — arrive via Fed Ex in a Box of Captain Crunch cereal along with a secret decoder ring…
And you take these documents to the City Clerk of New York, where you pay another modest fee, and they do a lot of rubber stamping and shuffling of papers, and VOILA, you’re signed, sealed and approved to conduct marriages in the City of NY.
And did any of us imagine our precious children would keep us on pins and needles through an engagement lasting a FULL three years or more leading to this day? I think not.
But, be that as it may, this joyous day has FINALLY arrived.
Maggie and Ed, your respective parents are sooo pleased that each of you have found the perfect mate to go forth with love and confidence into this worrisome world.
You are our legacy and you carry the very DNA and genetic code that is our only chance for immortality…not that we’re already pressuring you for grand children or whatnot.
The last few lines of a wedding poem I found on the Web say this:
“In making vows, you make one out of two,
A mystery beyond what words can prove.
Go then as one flesh, one home, one heart:
Each still a whole, yet also now a part.”
Without further preamble, then:
You are so full of it Q
^This^ draft was dated 4/16/2011.
i burned your contract baby
LOL
i hope you know I’m joking Q. I’m not a homewrecker. Nor am I opposed to a well written contract lol. Ok I def need to sleep 🙂
Hi JHK Admin,
“Before long, you’ll see blood on the snow.”
When are you suggesting?
This Spring?
This year?
Sometime in the ever-receding future?
The past and the future are ever receding away because we are in a present bubble.
Maybe like one of those hypothetical warp drives that create a negative-space bubble in the front of the ship and a positive-space bubble in the front to both suck and push, respectively, the ship through space and toward the stars, SoftStarLight!
^u^
All your starbase are belong us!
^u^
Correction:
A positive-space bubble in the back!
Unsure what two positive space bubbles would do to the ship. Maybe disappear it into eternity.
^u^
Lol 🙂
It is a very interesting thought experiment. Tell me more about it tomorrow please. Good night Mr. Zazelle
