A Walk on the Wild Side

The Leftist system is not meant to produce political stability or prosperity, and feels a lot like it is entering a death spiral. Getting the lunatics out of power, before they crash the entire West with no survivors, is the most urgent problem we face. — Eugyppius at Substack

Do you doubt anymore that the USA, indeed most of Western Civ, is in the grip of demonic possession? You can’t quite medicalize the problem by calling it a group psychosis because the people demolishing social boundaries know exactly what they’re doing and are shoving it in your face maliciously for the purpose of goading you into humiliation and punishment — which is predicably what will happen if you object to being mind-fucked.

Case in point: a shop teacher styling himself as “Kayla” Lemieux, comes to work wearing a grotesquely outsized fake boob costume. You are meant to say that this is okay because, hey, it is just a form of “gender expression” — so said the Halton District school board in Ontario, Canada. Of course, you know it’s not okay. The School Board only pretends that it’s okay, because this nonsense is supported by the Canadian federal government under the Woke-Marxist Justin Trudeau, which holds the levers of law and can crush you, subject you to its courts, bankrupt you, ruin you, if you don’t play along.

…and don’t you dare look at my boobs!

Who knew that the glorious George Jetson future would tip into a neo-medieval religious frenzy and, more to the point, one deriving its dark energy from the demonic and Satanic? You are asked to swallow ever-greater absurdities, destroying your self-respect because you know that you are a coward for not standing up to this host of degenerates.

The USA’s Democratic Party of Chaos is behind all of this lunacy. It has gotten so bad that many no longer even follow the news of serial outrages by the regime led (nominally) by the empty vessel called “Joe Biden.” Millions of border-jumpers have crossed into Texas and Arizona the past two years. The New York Times / CNN axis of news doesn’t cover it because they want it to continue. Apart from the economic refugees coming across there are substantial numbers of demonically murderous people, many of them not Mexican, but from all quarters of the world, including places with a grudge against our country. Not a few of them are identified as international terrorists. Yet, in they come. The welcome mat is out for them — while our joke of a president rails against “white supremacist domestic terrorists” (another lie you’re supposed to swallow).

The open border issue only came back to the country’s attention when Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida gifted Martha’s Vineyard with a plane-load of fifty illegal immigrants. Martha’s Vineyard did not accept them graciously. The Island’s leaders arranged post-haste for Massachusetts’s governor, Charlie Baker, to call in the state’s national guard and hustle the unwelcome newcomers to a military base on Cape Cod. Nobody with half-a-brain left failed to notice what this said about the wealthy intellectuals who populate Martha’s Vineyard (including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton): You can change the demographics in Jefferson County, Arkansas, all day long, but don’t you dare change the social arrangements on our precious, special Island… not one itty-bitty bit. So much for all their lip-service to diversity and inclusion. They follow the maxim of the late Hollywood producer Samuel Goldwyn, famous for saying “Include me out!”

What is the answer when faced with a large-scale religious disturbance in society, especially one displaying all the earmarks of overt, archetypal evil? You call in an exorcist. That has been Donald Trump’s true role in this millenarian mega-crisis. He is seeking to cast out evil spirits afflicting this sore-beset national community and the evil spirits are frantic to stop his ministrations by any means.

He is, of course, a most untoward avatar in this war of good against evil. He came out of the infernal circle of New York real estate development. The assumption all along is that he must be tainted by dirty dealing with the mobs who ran the construction unions, but after six years of relentless investigation by the Southern District of New York and the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, the legions of hell came up with… nothing. How was this possible? Well, they tried their darndest, and now they’re trying again with some double-jeopardy maneuvers. The law, to these degenerates, is just an instrument of their own will-to-power.

Chugging toward the 2022 mid-term elections, Mr. Trump is out there giving moral support and focus to so-called “domestic terrorists” seeking to crush the Woke demonic religious persecution. He leads the substantial demographic of Americans who are determined to not play along with Woke absurdities, and they love him for it. Mr. Trump may or may not be the Republican nominee in 2024, but he is helping the country with a literal House-cleaning in advance of that, and it will open the door to a deluge of corrective truth-telling about what has gone on the past several years, in everything from the Covid 19 scam to the Green New Deal aimed at wrecking what’s left of Western Civ’s economies.

Americans, except for the very old, are not disposed to attending church, meaning they are not reminded at regular intervals, and formal rituals, that good and evil exists in all of us, and that we have a duty to our sacred consciousness to tend to the right side, to “the better angels of our nature,” Lincoln put it. Ultimately, the Left will choke to death on its many crimes and we can return to being a people who confidently know the difference between right and wrong.

    The possibility that corrections can be made to stop what is being played out now certainly exists. It is certainly possible that the rule of law might return to America somehow. You’re keeping us appraised of the facts and the truth is outstanding and certainly the most important way that we can fight these people and their movement.

    A lot of people think that the Deep State and the Loonie Leftist Socialists that are doing everything in their power now to destroy America and subjugate the rest of us are stupid and incompetent. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The collapse of humanity that they are engineering now
    is intentional and planned long ago. Except for Dopey Joe the puppet who is clearly nearly brain dead from disease, those at the top are well “educated” and very intelligent. What they also happen to be is sold out to the forces of evil that have hunted mankind since the beginning of time. They have all lusted for power and material wealth and are blinded to the possibility that by doing so they have condemned their spirits to perdition. Most probably are firmly convinced that there is no spirit in mankind and are living large while they can, convinced that in the end they will simply cease to exist. I for one am certain that they are wrong and that they will all pay the price in ways that their fellow humans could never deliver upon them.

    Most of the evil plans and forces grew from their beginnings right around the time I was born so I have been able to watch the process unfold and note the progress of the plan for decades now.

    Throughout my life I have noted and participated in endeavors where groups of like-minded individuals came together and worked in harmony to achieve common goals to build things and systems that served our communities and our people. This is how civilizations and societies are built and how they prosper.

    Just as Donald Trump experienced and experiences still, when those who are tasked with building and preserving come under constant and evil attack from those that would tear down and destroy, the only thing that can be accomplished is to get out of the melee alive and maybe with your sanity intact. This is how civilizations (and empires) are brought to the ground and that is what is going to happen now. I will not be stopped for no man can stand against the spirits of the netherworld. This is why no real punitive actions are being taken against them. That battle may only be won by the only being that ever sent the devil packing while He was with us.

    Wait for it and be strong.

      Civilization takes energy, consumes resources – none of which exists in sufficient quantities to support 8b people in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

      Labeling thinkers as evil instead of logical is a mistake. They are intent on guiding civilization through the fast approaching bottle-neck.

      The resentment stems from not being part of the chosen vanguard, but rather the derelict refuse. I get it; I’ve long said, no one wants to be the Indian – they’d much rather be the cowboy.

      The problem is, surplus, ease and plenty have softened everyone. Everybody thinks they are special, unique and have a voice in matters of state.

      Lol, really? Since when? When bernays demonstrated the power of persuasion, how everyone would absolutely gorge on bullshit and ask for more?

      You give yourself a pat on the back for being productive, honest and good. How much did you contribute to creating the system from which we maximized energy usage, family growth and ultimately led us to this juncture?

      You’re very intelligent – contemplate this perspective.

      • Walter B September 19, 2022 at 10:07 am #

        I am a small cog in the vast machine but in my own way, yes, I helped to grow the beast. Managing the growth of mankind and population was never really possible until the advent of the technologies that exist today, and I for one believe that any such management can only take the form of genocide as we see in progress today.

        No pat on the back. My arms cannot bend that far anymore. All I have ever done was to do my best to live small, never be greedy, and to always give back to my communities and the people around me. I continue to do this to my best abilities every day.

        I am nothing special my friend, I am just another stupid man and one of me is more than enough for this world to bear. But by my example I hope that others may see value and consider doing their best as well to give more than they take, at least when it comes to people.

        • MaryQueen September 19, 2022 at 10:40 am #

          Thank you for your thoughtful comments, I am right there with you.

        • Rowdypiglet September 19, 2022 at 11:36 am #

          Walter B, I’m glad to give you a well deserved pat on the back. It’s almost unimaginable to me that there are still people who can’t see the spiritual dimension of what’s happening. I don’t know why they can’t smell the reek of sulphur, but they seem to be all logic and live entirely within it limitations. For all I can tell, from their response to overt evil, they really are walking bags of meat. That being said, all we can ever do is try to live a decent life; that’s hard enough.

          • Hereward the Woke September 19, 2022 at 11:49 am #

            I know people who are Lord of the Rings junkies, and yet can’t see the obvious comparisons with our current world.

          • Walter B September 19, 2022 at 12:34 pm #

            Rowdypiglet, I think a lot of people fear evil so much that they deny its existence out of self-preservation. Yet it exists and always has and will certainly destroy those who so deny its existence.

            And yes Hereward, it IS the Rings, and we await the Return of the King to set things right!

          • paul scott September 20, 2022 at 1:10 am #

            much ink has been spilled on the appeal of LOTR – completely agree that we have found ourselves in one of those times.

            “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
            “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

            this brings tear to my eyes – it breaks my heart that this is the world we have given my and our children.

            but we decide whether we pay the price and emerge into the sunlit uplands, or descend into – hunger games…

            God help us.

          • justanotherguy September 22, 2022 at 1:32 pm #

            “PIPPIN: I didn’t think it would end this way.

            GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.

            PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?

            GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

            PIPPIN: Well, that isn’t so bad.

            GANDALF: No. No, it isn’t.”

        The human population explosion began with the discovery and use of oil and petroleum products. Perhaps this man was accurate in his assessment:

        ‘The Devil’s Excrement’
        (FORTUNE Magazine)
        By Jerry Useem
        February 3, 2003
        (FORTUNE Magazine) – Ten years from now, 20 years from now, you will see,” former Venezuelan Oil Minister and OPEC co-founder Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo predicted in the 1970s, “oil will bring us ruin.” It was an oddball statement at a time when oil was bringing Venezuela unprecedented wealth–the government’s 1973 revenues were larger than all previous years combined, raising hopes that black gold would catapult Venezuela straight to First World status. But Perez Alfonzo had a different name for oil: “the devil’s excrement.”

        • TaxDonkey September 19, 2022 at 11:05 am #

          The discovery of easy to pull conventional oil was a 1 time lottery ticket for humanity. We’ve pretty much squandered it and the party is mostly over. It’s been an amazing ride though.

          • Walter B September 19, 2022 at 11:17 am #

            Our host’s prime thesis.

          • Mac September 19, 2022 at 7:00 pm #

            Pulling oil out of the ground does not create wealth- just cash. There’s a difference.

        • Amman September 19, 2022 at 11:30 am #

          It was not an explosion. It was an Ascendance.

      • Cavepainter September 19, 2022 at 10:26 am #

        You’re wrong. Tolerance for ambiguity is the threshold which triggers sourcing only reassuring info. Unfortunately, the bell curve effect applies, and no doubt due to such mechanism proving propitious to species survival. BTW, I’m not dismissing discussion re “spiritualism” positing that awakened intellect can prevent drift into hell. It’s a labor between “good and evil” in any case.

      • hortonz September 19, 2022 at 10:46 am #

        The left has dispatched no fewer than three Conservative leaders in Canada, over the last decade and this has left them with the impression that they are omnipotent. Now they’ve got Pierre Poilievre to deal with and they are none too happy. They’re having a meltdown just like the Democrats and waste no opportunity to demonize him. Pierre, like Trump, doesn’t make any bones about his dislike for the left and won’t soften his message to appeal to the Woke Laurentian elite, who’ve governed this country for the last century and are now in the process of destroying it. There’s a fake twitter account called Justin Trudeau’s Ego that brilliantly satirizes our PM and Canadian leftist thinking in general. Great article by JHK. You’re hitting it out of the ballpark with your pointed and concise commentary.

      • xhidarta September 19, 2022 at 1:34 pm #

        “Civilization takes energy, consumes resources…”
        Fair enough. None of the readers of JHK columns or his books would disagree with this.

        “Labeling thinkers as evil instead of logical is a mistake. They are intent on guiding civilization through the fast approaching bottle-neck”

        Labeling anyone that questions or even names the evil of the “thinkers” as resentment is a mistake.

        There, I fixed it for ya.

        The great “thinkers” you are talking about remind me of the philosopher du jour, Noah Yuval Harari, delivering his “cloacal effluvia” to pilfer the vocabulary of our host, in every possible mainstream venue there’s from TedxTalk to the WEF whose leading advisor this little man happily married to another man, is.
        From his brilliant brain pan we’re getting droned with epic Maoist axioms as:
        “Humans are hackable animals.” “There are billions of useless, worthless humans that we have no need of. The only solution I can think of is to give them computer games and drugs.” That puts me at ease, I was afraid of concentration camps or a quackcine.
        “When historians look back they’ll see that Covid made total surveillance and the end of privacy acceptable.”
        “There’s no such a thing as privacy or a soul, or Jesus, that’s fake news”. Beyond Jesus, this is a frontal attack on the idea of the sacred, of the trancendent, of the reflection of the eternal Creator in the soul of man, regardless of anybody’s belief. As if there was any doubt: “We don’t need humans anymore, we can create humans, we can create minds”. If this is not a Baphomet sindicate running errands for the big boss of the darkness, I don’t know what it is.

        I’m not resentful that my lot is to be an indian, I always ben a happy indian, nor do I reckon that WalterB is resentful either. I’m mightilly p.o’d that a group of self appointed world rullers and sage elders of humanity spanning from Bill Gates cum vaxx expert and healer, to Klauss Schwab and the new King Chuck the Turd that turned the Magna Carta to the New Age Terra Carta in a jiffy, are deciding and allotting resources by fiat and have a jab program on course to thin out the herd “compassionately”. That is, by decepcion. If this is the course to save humanity or Gaia, then it is not worth saving. Said in French, fook “the thinkers…that are intent on guiding Civ. through the fast approaching bottle-neck”. We don’t need their bloody guidance. They can shove it. We may not have agency in matters of government but I sure will have agency in my own life to the extent that I can claim it and at whatever price and wish for everybody else claim the same.

      • si September 19, 2022 at 1:50 pm #

        Contemplated.

        Little merit in you view imo.

        You credit intelligence to them ‘guiding civilisation’ when narrow self interested cunning and lack of moral compass is the cause. As if they can see beyond their own depraved desire. They are the addicts out of control bent on their own destruction and wanting burn the world along the way.

        Your apparent ‘compliment’ betrays you.

      • EdD September 19, 2022 at 1:59 pm #

        Don’t fall for the WEF’s lies about scarcity. Resources are not exhausted, and fuel (not energy) is still plentiful. Evil people are always stupid. there is no creativity in evil, since the creative spark is divine. These evil people who are hoping to rule over humanity may exhibit a sort of low cunning, but they are not geniuses.

        The “bottle neck” you mentioned is a construct of those who want to rule. All of their justifications for taking over are lies. Anyone claiming an intention to “quide civilization” through a bottle neck of their own invention are liars. Believe them at your own peril.

      • Walter B September 19, 2022 at 10:16 am #

        No, I dropped cable in 2015 but I appreciate those who keep me so informed.

        • DrTomSchmidt September 19, 2022 at 10:30 am #

          Biden and his press secretary are part of the humiliation JHK talks about. That you have to accept a man as shot in the head as Biden is as President just humiliates further. It reminds me of Lewis Black recommending we screw with terrorists’ minds by electing a dead President.

          Since many people in the USA are considered terrorists now, that’s what they did.

            The poll tested the US population on its response to President Biden’s assertion that

            “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

            The poll results are:

            48% of likely U.S. voters agree with Biden including 36% who Strongly Agree. Forty-seven percent (47%) disagree with Biden including 39% who Strongly Disagree.

      • Walter B September 19, 2022 at 11:15 am #

        My Mother had two sons and she taught my brother and I through her example that loving someone means caring more about that person’s wellbeing than your own. Our society has grown far too narcissistic to be able to love IMHO. The love of oneself drives a wedge between the individual and its society and leads to hatred of the other. The collective takes advantage of this by providing the narcissists with an object, or many objects to hate.

        I for one have no idea how haters can be altered or how they can ever be made to love since they can only love themselves and the collective which panders to them.

        The only way that I can see love, “‘the greatest of all these”, returning is sufficient quantities to bring peace to the world is by the Return of the Prince of Peace Himself. Until then, we must do our best to keep our wits about us and not give into the hate.

        People may or may not believe in Jesus can, but only the totally evil or completely stupid can profess that hate is a viable way to go. Hate destroys everything and that is exactly what this agenda is about.

        • elysianfield September 19, 2022 at 5:06 pm #

          Haters…

          Walter,
          Hate is overused in all of its iterations. Reality counts. How would you define a “hater”? Someone who doesn’t know Jesus (You know, like the 6 Billion other people on the planet)? Does hating require overt action, or like Jimmy Carter, one could have hate in his heart like the lust he professed, but only without manifest?

          The concept is alien to me.

          • Walter B September 19, 2022 at 7:06 pm #

            I define haters as those intolerant motherfuckers that latch onto another person’s ideas, speech, lifestyles or whatever and spew vile and degrading commentaries at them, condemning them for what they are or what they think or say. The Trump Derangement victims for example. He is gone for a year and three quarters now and every chat I have with the ones I talk to include a degradation into how everything that is wrong in their though process is DJT’s fault. Give it up. Move along, get over it.

          • elysianfield September 20, 2022 at 12:31 am #

            Walter,
            So, a hater is a person who is overtly judgmental? Demonstrably vile and degrading? Does this differ from constructive criticism by only coarse language and ad hominems? So, if you are really really negative towards blacks, consider them without human value, but keep it to yourself, would you then not qualify as a “hater”?

            I really object to the term “hater”. It is ill defined, and rises to the level of “racist”, “nazi” and similar terms in vogue.

            It is a catch-all shortcut to a superficial assessment.

            I would like to think that the term would never be heard nor used at the Point….

        • MaryQueen September 20, 2022 at 7:33 pm #

      “Well educated”? Nah–credentialed, that’s all. “Intelligent”? Hardly; if they were, they wouldn’t be Leftists. What they are instead is cunning, clever, and as James says, EVIL.

    • Rulo Deschamps September 19, 2022 at 6:53 pm #

      Yes, Walter is intelligent – and has a moral sense. Both qualities necessary to achieve what he has achieved, including humility about his own perceived role in feeding Moloch. No one is without sin, but to seek contentment (“Good enough. I don’t need more”) redeems past greed. Helping others too. I don’t agree with him on everything , but consider him a good, solid, centered guy. Like Mr K, also blessed – or cursed – with simultaneous intelligence and morality.

      Youth is arrogant and cruel. The years teach humility and kindness, sometimes. Mitchell must be still young. He’s intelligent, or smart (subtle difference). Immoral too in a Darwinian sense: it is just and right that the best survive and the worst don’t. This is true in Nature. But alone in Nature, while we remain eating, lusting, killing, defecating animals, have noticed a spark in us, a voice, raising questions about good and evil, right and wrong. We haven’t always agreed, but we know there’s something there. It’s another form of sight. Some are blind, some choose to be blind to that divine, universal spark. We are all sinners, but most of us know we’ve sinned, and how, and regret it, and strive to do better with the time we’ve left. A few deny the spark, or seek alliance with dark powers to erase it: Gilles de Rais, Aztec priests, SS men… Pfizer, Harvard, Raytheon… they are called monsters. Don’t listen to their siren calls!

      xhidarta, “cloacal effluvia” indeed. To “humans are hackable animals”, we could add “no one wants to be the Indian – they’d much rather be the cowboy.” Bernays may or may not have demonstrated the power of persuasion. Hereward mentions Tolkien. Here’s a bit: “Those who listened to that voice could seldom report the words that they heard: and if they did, they wondered, for little power remained in them. Mostly they remembered only that it was a delight to hear the voice speaking, all that it said seemed wise and reasonable, and desire awoke in them to seem wise themselves”.

      Saruman as the master propagandist. But propaganda cannot drown the fact that NOT everyone would gorge on bullshit and ask for more, NOT everyone would necessarily choose the winning side, but the right side.

      An intelligent and moral leadership would not act like demigods and demons, deciding who lives and dies of the generation that must pass through the bottleneck. That this moment would arrive has been known for at least 3 generations, or more. Maybe nobody is that intelligent, after all, because a Mashall Plan style of intensive back to the land movements (40 acres and a mule for everyone willing and able) was never discussed, much less implemented. I thought I read Bergoglio refer to money as excrement of the devil, but Walter informs us oil also earned the name. Both are fit. Oil was “growth”, “growth” begat prodigious amounts of $, and we’re at the end of that road now.

      “Decide they must, support them and be spared” seems to me like a bad strategy, if not for this life, then for the many lives ahead, or for the place good or bad that we go to after death, depending on religion. Or for looking at oneself in the mirror or sleeping at night, depending on philosophy.

    The Left can not choke fast enough for me, but the Leftists in power, do not truly believe the garbage they push. They are cynical, like Good Catholic Pelosi, who in her heart of hearts does not believe in God or a judgement process in the Afterlife. What scares me more are the True Believers in all the Woke nonsense – the followers of the Left. They are truly insane.

      It seems to me that Catholicism has long been the official religion of organized crime, and if that is true then it explains a lot. While the vast majority of Catholics are surely good and decent people, the richer than shit ones at the tops of all of the dung piles are clearly worshipping something other than the Living God.

      The woke thing is mirrored in UK, where yesterday while women tried to speak in a park in Bristol, a mob of men in wigs tried shouting them down and intimidating them for 2 hours, nonstop.

      And here in the US, a huge mob of violent wokies stormed an event hosted by Tomi Lahren at a college, and she had to be removed for her own safety. Their reasoning for the violence is that she’s a ‘white supremacist’. This absolute bullshit has become mainstream thought. Everyone who doesn’t kow tow to leftist insanity is a white supremacist and therefore violence against them is 100% justified. I am wondering when they will turn on each other for not being ‘pure’ enough.

        What strikes me in some texts that come my way is not the black hatred of whites—I guess that is a given, justified or not—but the determination to control whites—called white-bodied— and ;make them toe the line that the blacks or BIPOC set.

        The message: “We’re in charge now. Worm has turned. You will only be allowed to say and think things that we allow. Because of white imperialism, nothing you say has any validity, even if you grovel before us.”

        I saw the Bristol atrocity. At least the police arrested one man, which I think is a first.

        Craig Murray wrote an article about the royal funeral and ascension. Apparently the mobs attacked a man who yelled at Prince Andrew. He will get a longer sentence for yelling than Andrew will ever get for kiddie diddling.

        But this rings very true:
        “The mob is encouraged to beat up dissidents, so the expression of dissent is illegal.

        It is quite literal fascism, the exertion of violent force by thugs in the street to quell dissent, with the state backing the thugs and criminalising the dissidents. That is precisely how all fascist regimes operate.”

        Meanwhile, Serbia was told to hold a LBQTXYZ parade and tried to refuse. The men in dresses and mobs in black showed up anyway. Lesbians who refuse to accept lady dick were not allowed.
        This is clearly a topdown agenda, like the CRT thing in the US.
        But the trans thing is being pushed all over the world.

            A rather intermittent thing in addition to being apparently being anomalous, Paula. I had 2 posts waiting in perdition-limbo a few weeks ago that were never assimilated into the comments. I imagine they still repose in “Waiting for moderation.”
            When I asked about their status, my asking was documented (moderated) and posted. My question was not responded to at all. At least not by JHK or whomever is moderating. I did get a couple of smart-ass trollers who just happened by however.

            Strangely enough—and further clouding the waters, there is a fully-linked YouTube comment a little further up and I have seen others as well that have the full address. Makes me wonder further as to a ‘set’ policy on this page. And furthermore, makes me wonder why the page padrone does not articulate the specifics.
            On the bye and bye, it’s been 3 years since I was summarily booted from FB where we were once active and engaged friends. Fickle is the age. “Forgotten, but not gone.”

          • Paula D September 19, 2022 at 7:11 pm #

            We were fb friends? They also axed my former account, in April of this year.

            I think that the ”We care about you and your memories” section is different from the “We are monitoring your every thought to report to the FBI” section, because the memory section kept showing me memories from the last 8 years, in which I was reporting on the Nazis in Ukraine and the atrocities they were committing.
            I promptly shared those memories, which proved that the whole “This just started in Feb. 2022 and also there are no Nazis in Ukraine because the president is Jewish” line. Apparently the monitoring section found it easier to boot me than to educate the Memory section.
            Anyway, I can never share links here without taking off the www. part.
            I have no idea why some people’s slip through.
            Did you see that the “Biden” administration put out an Executive Order pushing programming human biology ”the way we do computers”? You mean glitches and viruses?

    Spend a little time on Twitter and it isn’t hard to figure out the real problem. It’s the sexual deviants that reveal themselves with their emoticons and that stupid ass flag that seems to change daily.. They are not really at war with Donald Trump. They are at war with you and me…the Deplorables. They are at war with our families and our happiness because they are miserable, bitter, broken people. As Dylan once sang, you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Trump is merely a proxy. Take it one step further and it is obvious that they are at war with the religion of their parents…Christianity…and a framework of rules that identifies them as what they are…deviant. All of our problems begin and end here. i wish these people no harm, but history suggests that they will eventually pay for the damage they’ve done. Observing humankind’s love affair with cruel death, from abortion to vaxxes to nuke-you-lurrr war, it won’t be pretty. i wish it weren’t so, but we are deeply flawed and must learn the same lessons over and over again.

    • Penelope Dreadful September 19, 2022 at 9:51 am #

      Right on the same lessons thingy. We just went thru the Temperance Movement about 100 years ago, when the smarmy and the priggish busted up saloons to save us all from Demon Rum and White Slavery.

      Now, it is the Neo-WCTU at it, with blue hair, and pierced-everythings, smashing things up. Nothing like drag-queens bumping and grinding for the Kindergarteners!

      • Islander September 19, 2022 at 11:34 am #

        Basically I agree with Liz.
        But re the temperance movement, the stakes with the WEF plans are orders of magnitude different. . .

        Much of the temperance movement was as you describe it.
        Just don’t let anyone have fun and control their own lives.

        But by the mid to late 19th C in the American cities, there was a real social problem around alcoholism (and some doctors had started to talk about the medical problems).
        On payday, workingmen would stop at a bar on the way home and drink away the week’s pay, bringing basically nothing home for the families. Many working-class women were in the forefront of the later temperance movement. They were tired of having to send son or daughter down the bar to haul hubby back home before all the family’s money was spent.

        It really wasn’t a giant step to send in vigilante ladies led by Carrie Nation to destroy the bars with hatchets. Good PR stunt, actually!

        Even so the movement was kind of hijacked by Carrie Nation—her kooky, extreme image obscured the real social problems caused by alcoholism, at least among the working classes.
        Per Wiki:
        ” in some US states alcoholism had become epidemic and rates of domestic violence were also high. At that time, Americans drank about three times as much alcohol as they drank in the 2010s.[65]”

          “But by the mid to late 19th C in the American cities, there was a real social problem around alcoholism (and some doctors had started to talk about the medical problems)”

          The key phrase above is “in the American cities”. It was a lot easier to be a drunk in NYC than it was in small town Bible Belt USA.

          I’ll annoy everyone here by telling a story about how it was in my small town locale in the 50’s. Many counties in this area of our state prohibited the sale of alcohol all together, or only allowed the sale of beer, with restrictions. You couldn’t buy beer on Sundays, you couldn’t buy beer after midnite etc. etc. Teenagers figured out ways around the restrictions, but there was always some real peril involved in either buying or selling alcohol, especially if you were underage. There were one or two places in town that sold alcohol to just about anyone at any time. But it was a sleazy and dirty place, a ramshackle motel outside city limits. Every five years or so there would be a fight or a shooting there and the story would be in the local paper. If anyone you knew drove by and saw you or your car in the parking lot, they’d know immediately you were up to no good. You walked in a door and couldn’t see anyone, but you could talk to a person behind a screen. Tell ’em what you want, put money in a drawer that goes in both directions, and your booze comes back to you. And it’s gonna cost a bit of money too. The sheriff was getting paid to ignore what was going on there. All these little towns have their Boss Hogs who have a lot of influence behind the scenes.

          If you lived in a major city, no such Bible Belt hassles were involved in getting alcohol. You had a friendly and congenial bar atmosphere to enjoy. And it was so conveniently located not far from home and work, you didn’t have to travel for many miles to find a bootlegger. Which society was doing it right? The folks in New York City or the Bible thumpin’ hillbilly rednecks? This prohibition culture made it possible for bootleggers to make a decent living, along with the moonshiners.

          One of the best early Robert Mitchum movies is “Thunder Road”, watch it for free on you tube. NASCAR basically began as a side product of the moonshiner’s activities.

            I live in a dry town.
            At least it was until there was a huge push by restaurant owners to allow alcohol if ordered with a meal. Of course that was the nose under that camel’s tent. A lot of the pressure came from a particular restaurant owner in a neigboring (wet) town—the Island honky-tonk town— who bought a restaurant in this town and found someone in Town Hall to push his agenda.

            Now there is a huge push foodless alcohol.
            Things are already getting pretty rowdy just because of the lack of constraints on loud music, etc.

            Bars on Main Street will definitely change this town, .
            Other dry towns are not seeing the pressure.
            They would not cave in anyhow. I am keeping fingers crossed that voters will hold the line.

The guy on the night shift had a locker on the basement floor and had a busy clientele. This was late 60s. 10 to 6 it was the only place in the county to get liquor.

          • Anthea September 20, 2022 at 8:50 am #

            @ Woodchuck:

            Rural areas had just as much of a problem with alcoholism as urban areas, nonwithstanding that there was more likely to be a stigma attached. This is why, to this day, the Baptist Church is so opposed to drinking: Alcoholism was destroying families, both economicallly and because of domestic violence.

            I know quite a few stories about this, some dating from my 1950s childhood–where one couple on our block were known for having knife fights, there was one case of some gunplay, and a near neighbor committed suicide in the alley behind the local saloon. In later life, I dated a guy who came from a family where Dad was an alcoholic, who grew up in a household of extreme domestic violence. He was a reformed alcoholic himself, but that didn’t last long, and once he got back on the sauce he became violent and abusive.

            Some of my rural old-lady friends have hinted that there were some problems with their early homelife, and I think what they are trying to tell me (without actually telling me) is that there was incest going on.

            So even in the 1950s the impact of rural alcoholism was HUGE, in spite of the amount of social pressure that was brought to bear against it, and the strong efforts of the Baptist Church.

            As for the Prohibition era, my grandfather, a rural farmer, was a bootlegger on the side. The country sheriff was one of his customers.

            Absolutely have to agree.
            On this idyllic isle things were not idyllic in the 1950s.
            I have heard a lot of innuendo concerning goings-on in the families of kids I went to school with. In one family, it was obvious that the dad was an alcoholic, but it looks like the long-suffering mom was, too. Plus I heard hints of hanky-panky with the two daughters. One of whom (maybe both) grew up to be an alcoholic.

            I just had a appointment with my tax lady. Grew uo working class in SE Mass. She told me her mother was an alcoholic and she was basically raised by one of her elder sisters (there were five children in the family to support). My tax lady is a rock.

            I’ve been fortunate enough to have known some people who had ancestors that had lived in Cades Cove before it became part of the Great Smokies National Park. And I’ve heard stories about the place as it was in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. There are doubtless people reading this who have visited and driven around the Cades Cove loop road of this now famous tourist destination. There were two Baptist churches in the cove, and these served also as community centers. People would talk and have picnics there after church. Sunday was everyone’s day off, a time to relax and socialize. Everybody knew everybody – almost. Over in the corner of the cove where Parson’s Branch road goes on over to the now famous and notorious “Tail of the Dragon” – there was a flat area full of orchards. And this was where some of the “unpopular” people in the cove lived. The people you gossiped and worried about, and didn’t want your kids playing with their kids.

            A extended family there was making some really good brandy with all that fruit they had, and a lot of the good church people were a bit cold and distant towards them. They were regarded as in need of “saving”. When people become outcasts they’ll get a “bad boy” reputation and start acting the part. Moonshiners were tough characters and also had to worry about the federal tax man finding them. They are an established part of hillbilly culture, there was no getting rid of them. Not everybody who went to church in the Cove was a teetotaler, and the dudes making the likker knew exactly who these backsliders were. Customers would come sneaking in under cover of night.

            There was at one time in Cades Cove a room in a big cave (now gated – no public access) – and I’d heard a story that there had been a small dance floor built in the room. The big room began at the cave entrance, easy access, and on hot summer weekend evenings people would go in this naturally cooled room, and there would be some fiddle players in there. And people maybe doing something like square dancing, clogging, or what have you. And there are young people there, and there is also some local likker making the rounds, but ya had to be discreet. No point in rousing those Baptists, must be careful! People were living in a goldfish bowl and had to try and hide their sinning as much as possible.

            Today we are all very proud of our sinning and wish to tell the world all about it.

            woody – enjoyable story, window on another world.

            nowadays there are sins that must remain in the shadows. you see, we have exchanged repression of one sort for another. the original sin of being white, with the increasingly dire adjectives of male, conservative, christian…

            but those sins lack the malum in se aspect of former sins now celebrated. which is why the zealous woke fanatics want to root them out and find them even where where they are not – because they want a wholesale inversion of that natural order, and have nothing but power to enact it and to gain from it.

            quite the faustian bargain they’ve engaged in.

            There is no hard science showing that resource levels are in the red, nor is there hard science showing how many people the earth can carry.

            Our institutions have been corrupted, and the rule for wading through the intellectual muck today is to assume that nearly everything one hears from the corporate media or the purveyors of fear is a lie.

            @ Night Owl:

            I agree that there is no “hard science showing how many people the earth can carry.” Whether or not “overpopulation” is real depends on who you are, where you are, and how you live.

            Someone else here has pointed out that no one is proposing that we provide every family with “40 acres and a mule.” I think you need something more like 120 acres for a family of any size to have an economically viable farm, but you get the picture. I haven’t done the math, but I think the US has enough arable land to do this. The US is not overpopulated. Our economic problems are of a different kind. This is true of many other countries in the world–though, admittedly, some really are overpopulated.

            Is Africa overpopulated? Africa has a population density of 119 per square mile. The population density of many of the states in the US is much higher. It’s 159 per square mile in Tennessee and 176 per square mile in Georgia, for example.

            I don’t think that the resource problem (if there is one) is due to overpopulation, in most countries. If people cannot have lives of reasonable comfort and security, the problem lies elsewhere.

          • Night Owl September 21, 2022 at 3:00 am #

            Anthea, I would say a family needs less than that, unless you are talking about providing for a local community.

            Our house here in Germany was built by the Nazis in the 30s and has a fairly large lot by German standards — about 800 sqm, but was originally 1000 sqm (before the previous owners sold a chunk to the house behind us).

            These lots and houses were part of a project in which they were intended to be used for “Selbstversorgung,” meaning that you were only eligible to buy the property if you were a party member and going to keep a few animals, grow most of your own veggies, etc.

            If the family is only growing for itself, 120 acres seems quite excessive.

          • Anthea September 21, 2022 at 12:28 pm #

            @ Night Owl:

            I mentioned 120 acres because, here in the US (on good farmland), that’s about what you needed, historically, in order to be a prosperous farmer. This is also about the upper limit of acreage that can be farmed by one family, using non-mechanized methods. Being a prosperous farmer implies producing a marketable surplus–which means you would be providing food for your community. I think you’d have to plan for that. A farm also needs to be profitable enough to be able to provide for its capital needs.

            There are many people who would be better employed as tradesmen, small manufacturers, artisans, or shopkeepers.

            Here in the US, you can get a very clear picture of the way a primarily agricultural economy worked by looking at the old Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps for 1900-1910. They are online. I have looked at these maps for several small towns in Missouri.

            The largest town near me (pop. 5,000) had about the same number of businesses in 1900 as it does today, with about one-third the population. The businesses appear to have all been locally owned, and they offered just about everything your little heart could desire in 1900.

            I would guess that in many instances the town’s small businesses were owned by members of some farm family. E.g., Grandma kept the store in town selling the farm’s vegetables and eggs, Uncle Ed with the gimp leg kept the tin-smith shop, and little Harry decided to be a photographer, rather than bucking hay. Sister Phyllis worked in the town laundry or waited tables at the town’s hotel–like the young women in Nebrasksa in Willa Cather’s “My Antonia.”

            I guess I wandered from the subject, but my point is that you need really prosperous farms, partly because only about half the population is going to farm, and partly because a prosperous farm economy is the basic support for all the other local businesses.

            Yes, I see now. You were not referring to small-scale self-sustinence/off grid type stuff.

            That is what I was originally not sure of.

          • Anthea September 21, 2022 at 10:03 pm #

            @ Night Owl:

            Interestingly, re your point that very small acreages are required for self-sufficiency, much has been written on this. There have long been books around with titles like “Five Acres and Independence,” and similar. Helen and Scott Nearing’s book, “Living the Good Life,” written in the 1930s, detailed how they were able to live self-sufficiently.

            In the past few decades, John Jeavons wrote a number of editions of the book, “How to Grow More Vegetables Than You Can Imagine on Less Land Than You Ever Thought Possible.” The guy was virtually an iconic figure who ran a large operation of research and teaching gardens. This outfit, Bountiful Gardens, offered a seed catalogue for many years. (I used to order from it every year.) But “Bountiful Gardens” has, I think, gone under, and the catalogue is no longer offered–probably because Jeavons just got too old to run the show.

            But Jeavons (or people affilitated with him) did quite a bit of research on the minimum land area required to grow a self-sufficient diet. I can’t remember for sure what the minimum was, but I think it was 2,000 square feet per person, and was claimed to provide a vegetarian diet with sufficient calories and nutrition for full health. I should probably mention that this minimalist diet was very austere.

            There’s a book on this that I used to own, called “One Circle.” Very detailed. (I seem to remember little printed slide rules.)

            I cut my gardening eye teeth on Jeavons. His methods are worth looking into for any serious gardener, even if you don’t choose to implement the full “bio-dynamic French intensive method.” It is very labor-intensive, and I’d skip the double-digging of garden beds and go with a hybrid system adapted to your particular needs.

          Cognitive dissonance

          It’s what one experiences when they realize they live on a planet where everything is not necessarily trying to kill you, maliciously, but trying too feed off you, and perhaps take your life in the process.

          A constant struggle and competition for nothing more than energy.

          Life energy.

          There is no evil. Isn’t this your god’s creation? If not, is it god’s Demiurge’s creation?

          Does one have to settle for this? Not if you find yourself in the “…or be eaten” column.

          And we’re not the only ones, see porcupine quills, Armadillo cladding, etc.

          It is not evil or good.
          It just is.

          Is it evil to convince the weaker to kill themselves via sugar, fast food, opioids and vaxxes?

          If so, it’s because they and you forgot the reality.

          • Anthea September 20, 2022 at 9:51 am #

            @ 100th Avatar:

            Pretty much all the animal life forms on earth live by eating other life forms, even if some animal life forms just eat vegetable life forms. Plenty of the animal life forms eat other animal life forms–and compete viciously within their own species for territory and resources.

            Humans are no different, but with us the preying upon our own species is a bit more organized. We have a setup where some humans exploit other humans as livestock.

            Historically, the value of humans as livestock has been much greater than the value of animals as livestock. The animals require lots of labor inputs, and they just provide food. The human livestock will do all the work of food production–and the production of everything else–for you, and bring you the meat, potatoes, clothing, cars, houses, laptops, etc., and you need hardly lift a finger.

            There are a lot of moral/ethical questions about such an arrangement–the main one being whether or not it is voluntary. There is nothing inherently wrong with being an employer or an employee, rather than starting your own business, or being a farmhand or employing farmhands. Maybe the employee is learning the business and raising capital to start his own business. The moral/ethical problem arises when systems are put in place to make economic independence impossible.

          • 100th Avatar September 20, 2022 at 9:27 pm #

            Excellent points.

            However the point I am attempting to get at is that ethical and moral concerns simply do not exist in the raw.

            They are constraints of humans that endeavored to coalesce into a group, into a society for reasons of survival. These groups had to have rules within the group also as a matter of a survival.

            Over time they have become customs, ethics, and internalized as morality.

            Rules imposed by humans.

            They only exist there

            They cease to exist when humans who control the rule making, rule execution, and rule enforcement change them, or when a member ascertains that the morals and ethics are a psychological cage preventing one to adapt rules of nature
            Of true reality

            So, in a life-system or “planet” where the weak provide energy to the most powerful of the moment, when should one be in the moment, the reality of right now?
            First they must step out of the cage.
            The door is open if one can find it

      • Anthea September 21, 2022 at 11:50 am #

        @ mitchellc:

        If this planned destruction of civilization is based on “reasoned logic,” then it seems like this would require that it be very methodical, with a very clear and orderly series of steps. Such a plan also implies that there must be a very clear and detailed plan as to the outcome.

        Another thing that is needful is that those planning and executing this destruction (and reorganization) actually have the power to carry out the plan.

        Do we see evidence of this?

        I’d say yes and no. We can see that the covid scare and the vax mandates were centrally planned and coordinated. As far as I know offhand, this is the first time we’ve seen a very clear case of highly coordinated, centrally planned action at a supranational level: some entity gave almost every nation in the world its marching orders. This supranational entity would be international banking and it monetary systems.

        So there is definitely a command and control system in place, and it definitely has to power to command almost every nation on earth. I think there may be some limits to its power over some nations. E.g., there are probably some who will play along–as long as they can see that doing so is in their interests–but they may not be down with the plan in some respects, especially if their leaders have no iron-clad assurances that, once it’s implemented, they’ll be on top. (The CCP comes to mind.) Actually, assuming these elites were able to implement their plans for world domination, it wouldn’t surprise me if the CCP took over the whole show from them, by any means necessary, and sent them off to work in a rice paddy (if they let them live at all, which is doubtful).

        Any game of world domination is a very dangerous game, with many competing players–and probably every one of them would be happy to cut the others’ throats.

        If the PTB want to kill off a large percentage of the human population, it’s for the simple reason that they are unprofitable–or are of negative marginal utility, costing more than they come to.

        Sure, I’d say it is “reasoned logic” to seek world domination and kill off most of the human race to do so–if your objective is world domation of a severe kind and ensuring the maximum profitability of your human cattle.

        But it seems unavoidable to me to acknowledge that such goals and intentions are evil.

        As for your own plans, you might want to assess the advantage of “being on top” when whole thing blows up. Success is not assured.

        • Anthea September 21, 2022 at 12:50 pm #

          It also seems to me that if the PTB were actually able to implement their plan for world domination, they would immediately start fighting each other to be “top dog” in that system. Hard to say how that would play out, but historically it has been chaotic. That’s what was really going on in WWI and WWII: colonial powers fighting over turf.

          100thAvatar upthread had a comment about Mitch throwing the railroad switch to kill toddlers in order to get a baguette.

          It was funny, but it brought to mind that old dilemma. As I recall if you do nothing a bunch of people die, but if you do something fewer people die, but it’s on you.

          I think that our rulers have done a version of that dilemma.

          Many people are going to die because our planet is overextended and can’t feed all of us. (I know you don’t believe that but I do and I am pretty sure that they do. So the point is not what you think but what they think).

          So it looks to me like they are deliberately pulling the switch to kill a bunch of people so that they can save a few- them.

          Still evil, but they want those baguettes.

            I have no issue with gay people. Only the ones supporting the trans agenda. Plenty are not, mostly lesbians. They have kicked out the T.

            Homosexuals have always made up around 5% of any population, I see no reason to demonize them because the trans deviants chose to use them to further their own agenda. Gay people are figuring this out and aren’t going for it.

          • MaryQueen September 19, 2022 at 12:54 pm #

            Yes, the trans agenda is one of the steps towards transhumanism. The message is to hate one’s body and to be very open to altering it. This started with the body dysmorphic disorder hysteria that became rampant in the 1970’s and moving forward. Also part of this was the piercing, tattooing, cutting, etc. Every message is that we need to improve our bodies, superficially, to be happy.

            Once people despise their bodies (which should be their temple) to the degree they will allow the ghouls to do anything to it all in exchange for the promise of ‘belonging’ or ‘progress’ or ‘life extension’ the PTB will have their victory.

            Yes, and before all this was people who denied nature, giving themselves up to the “unnatural uses” of homosexuality (homo meaning same). The body was designed to fit into that of the opposite sex. But some find this unacceptable or offensive, preferring in their narcissism to embrace someone like themselves, thus defying nature, society, and God.

            @ Jarek:

            I’ve had several gay men friends. Many are very fine and dear people. I don’t believe that being gay is a decision. It’s more of a misfortune–really a tragic thing to have happen to you.

            The Church’s position on homosexuality is that it is not a sin to be gay; it is a sin to engage in homosexual sexual activity. If you are gay, this means that you are called to live a celibate life. One of my gay male friends took this view for many years, but eventually decided to be sexually active.

            What you have to consider when condemning gay people is how well you think you yourself woud do, if you were looking at lifelong celibacy. I don’t think I would have managed it very well.

            I think what we’re look at here is a sin like any other sin–the same thing we all struggle with–and that gays deserve no special condemnation for that. (If they start actually promoting sin and deviancy, they must of course be stopped.)

            I am also inclined to think that gay people have some kind of proper place and function within society. Many of them have particular talents. They are also the natural “outsiders” of this world–involuntary nonconformists with a different perspective that might (or might not) be valuable. They also tend to be the refuge of nonconformists of other kinds. I think that’s where my affection for them came in; I am by nature a nonconformist, and this was a group of people with whom I could gain acceptance. I think this is a valuable social function.

            Because gays have become, as a group, so obnoxious in recent years, it can be a struggle to take a just view of them.

          • Anthea September 20, 2022 at 10:41 am #

            My personal opinion is that homosexuality arises from some kind of severe trauma in early life. This was definitely true of some of the gay men I knew in my youth. One of them was the victim of a violent homosexual rape when he was nine, where he was pretty badly hurt. One of them was a man whose father had died when he was eight, and he has said that it took him years to get over the trauma.

            Then there was the guy who scarcely remembered any of his life before about the age of 18, because he had had nine months of shock treatments for mental illness. I have sometimes wondered if he was not a child victim of MKUltra. A lot of his family background fits. I would guess that he washed out of the program and needed his memory erased.

            In any case, this last one is one of the two gay men I knew in my youth who is still living. He was always a really extraordinary person. I rarely hear from him, as he has been living a kind of nomadic life in Asia and India for many years, travelling around living in Buddhist monasteries. He has a degree (I think it’s a PhD) in Sanskrit. Probably the main reason he’s still alive is that he has been impotent since about the age of 35 and was in a monogamous relationship for a number of years before that–with a guy who was unhappy about the advancing impotence, which I’m pretty sure got started while he was still in his 20s. He’s one of the most truly good and spiritual people I’ve ever known, and they are hard to come by.

          • Jarek September 20, 2022 at 11:30 am #

            Read your two posts: the second negates the first. If they “reproduce” by inflicting trauma on the young, how can they be fine people?

            That’s the kind of “fine” that one would expect from a person who doesn’t believe fathers have any rights.

            @ Jarek:

            The gay men that I have known did not infllict trauma on the young, though it appeared to me that they had suffered some serious trauma in their early years. Gay people are individuals, and they differ.

            As far as men being pigs, several here have amply demonstrated this–even going to the extreme of telling us that women enjoy butt sex, and porn is perfectly okay.

            This probably has a lot to do with their problems with women. If you continually expose yourself to pornography–in which women are degraded and abused–this will be your view of women. You have thus turned yourself into a pig–and, it should be unnecessary to mention, a person who should not be around children.

            It’s strange that the men here, while being very much aware of the horrendous effects of mass media, are unaware that porn is more of the same, and even a more extreme form of “more of the same.”

            We ridicule the sheeple who watch CNN and form their opinions and worldview according to the dictates of the MSM, but some here curiously unaware that porn is a more extreme and much more destructive example of the same thing.

            My nephew is the fourth child (second son) in a very loving family. He was never traumatised, unless you call having me as a very distant godmother traumatic.

            When my brother told me he was gay (they didn’t find out definitely until he was away at university, but had long wondered if he might be) he recalled that there were times when he was a child when they’d be having a family picnic and his macho older brother was fooling around, while gay nephew would be sitting happily making daisy chains. People are what they are, which is a different thing from an ‘agenda’, which is also playing out now, but not to the benefit of ordinary gay men or lesbian women.

            My husband has a lesbian niece, who is the middle child in an equally loving family. There has been no trauma involved in either of these family situations (until macho nephew died, followed by his dad).

            “What you have to consider when condemning gay people is how well you think you yourself woud do, if you were looking at lifelong celibacy. I don’t think I would have managed it very well.”

            First show me all the hetersexual Christian males (or females) who even make it to to their wedding day celibate, which is what the Christian faith actually demands. The double standards are mind-numbing.

            The provision of free pornography figures on a list – drawn up by the Comintern or similar association – of things that should be used to undermine western societies from within (it also included discouraging religion, encouraging divorce, the growth of mass media, and so on). The point of pornography is (a) to demean women, (b) to cause distrust and bad faith between men and women and (c) to contribute to the transhumanist agenda (the observation that a minority of women also watch pornography does not change the intention). This overall agenda has not gone away just because the Comintern no longer exists or because the Soviet Union collapsed – the same people who are running the show now also manufactured and funded the Bolsheviks.

            Heterosexual men – because it affects them take a different view of what is essentially fucking hundreds of thousands of online prostitutes by proxy (totally fine even if you’re married) to a homosexual man having sex with another man. One is considered fine because men, and the other is considered not fine because different men.

          • MaryQueen September 21, 2022 at 10:56 am #

            They are all FOR the concept of gender.

            It’s sex they want to eradicate.

            Gender is a social construct, sex is biologically sound. There are 2 sexes only.

            By the gender ideologists’ definition, there can be 8 billion possible genders.

          • Jarek September 21, 2022 at 11:40 am #

            You three are typical in preferring gay men to heterosexual men. They’re more like women. So it’s just more feminine narcissism.

            Anthea never had much of a sexuality. Mary has none at all. Only Alba is normal in this regard, but still has the same attitude, which is simply amazing.

          • GreenAlba September 21, 2022 at 12:14 pm #

            You’re at it again. You are outrageous.

            At no point did I say I had a preference for gay men. If I had any choice in the matter, I’d rather my nephew were straight (not least because my sister-in-law has already lost her other son and her husband, although my remaining nephew is hugely supportive of his mum). If he had any choice in the matter, he might also wish he were straight, but he doesn’t. He doesn’t fret over it either. He is what he is and he gets on with his life as the decent human being that he is.

          • Anthea September 21, 2022 at 12:57 pm #

            @ Jarek:

            Meh, your usual shit you pulled out of your ass.There seems to be an inability on your part to distinguish between the products of your imagination and reality. Could have to do with the porn.

          • Anthea September 21, 2022 at 5:18 pm #

            @ Jarek:

            I find it interesting that several of the men posting here have sexual preferences (butt sex, blow jobs, porn) that indicate that they are much more sexually compantible with other men than with women.

            Clearly they can only be sexually fulfilled by engaging in homosexual sex. But the poor things seem to be too prudish and sexually repressed. Free yourselves, guys! Go get some of that man-love you so clearly crave!

          • Anthea September 21, 2022 at 9:37 pm #

            @ Jarek:

            You are in the habit of stating that others posting here made statements that they did not make. You are also in the habit of deliberate misconstruction of statements made by others here. You frequently make statements about others (mostly ad hominems) about matters of which you know nothing and cannot possibly know anything.

            You seem to be unaware that such statements are lies, and that your doing so is so continuous and habitual as to be a pathology.

            Stated more directly, you are a pathological liar.

            This is inconsistent with any pretext of religion or spirituality, which, I might add, is a misrepresentation of who you are and thus makes you a poser–which is yet another form of lying.

            Truthfulness is the bedrock of any form of spiritual and religious practice.

          • Anthea September 21, 2022 at 10:14 pm #

            @ Jarek:

            Your claim that I “never had much of a sex drive” is an example your very consistent habit of pathological lying.

            You continually make false statements about other people and lie about what they said.

            You are, in other words, a pathological liar.

            Oddly, and particularly repugnantly in this light, you like to pose as a religious and spiritual person.

          • MaryQueen September 22, 2022 at 9:33 pm #

            Thank you, @Anthea, for explaining so clearly what I also think about Jarek.

            You nailed it!!!

            Brava.

        • Anthea September 21, 2022 at 1:35 pm #

          @ Jarek:

          I’m not sure anyone likes straight men–including other straight men. They are shitty company, even if they’re not being pigs.

          I experienced an example of this a few days ago, and there is a guy that I spend time with occasionally, under the pretext that he is looking for a house and I know the area and can help him.

          I once again had the opportunity to notice that male conversation, when you are in the car with them, consists of bitching about all the other drivers on the road. And I’m not just talking about this one guy. This seems to be a universal truth. If you’re in the car with another woman or with a gay man, you are chatting about things of interest to both of you, commenting on the houses or scenery, and sometimes even singing songs–and having a jolly time.

          Pro tip: next time you are in the car with a female, instead of indulging your autism, try to engage in conversation–assuming you can find something that you are interested in or know something about in the great void of the male brain.

          Women and gay men have the advantage of actually having interests and thoughts in their heads.

          Incidentally, as we were leaving the little Mexican restaurant, this same guy tells me that, as we were about to leave, he tried to ask the waiter a question, but he did not speak English. Therefore, he did not leave the waiter a tip. This little restaurant, though out in the country, is in my neighborhood. My daughter and her husband are (slightly) friends of the owners. I might want to go back there again sometime. So I went back a couple of days later, found our waiter, and gave him a tip, explaining that my companion had forgotten.

          I didn’t think of this at the time, due to the fact that men are so endlessly inventive when it comes to thinking up asshole things to do, that you are continually blindsided.

          • Jarek September 22, 2022 at 2:44 pm #

            So you have a strong sexuality? You attracted to people (men) whom you utterly despise?

            What an unfortunate you are! What a loser!

            Camille Paglia says that she has found gay men to be entertaining company, but lesbians to be utter bores. I assume heterosexual women are little better in her book.

          • MaryQueen September 22, 2022 at 9:35 pm #

            It’s hilarious to me the bizarre imaginings and cherry-picking by Jarek. I can tell, Anthea, that you’ve had your share of relationships with men, as have I, both platonic, and romantic. He knows nothing about our lives, yet he sit in judgment of bizarre imaginings he’s made up about us.

            What a fucking loser.

            Oh and agree: Also a pathological liar.

        As I mentioned upthread, Serbia was told by the EU to hold a Gay Pride parade.
        The mayor of Belgrade said no.
        It was held anyway. ( Lesbians not allowed.)
        Although the parade was not authorized the puppet government of Serbia arrested not the marchers or the black clad antifa types that showed, but the people protesting.

      Any community, USA included, that promotes infanticide, abortion, for the convenience of the people is so sick that God will withdraw his presence and the community will deteriorate into a morass of evil.

      We are witnessing this scenario in action. I pray for the USA to get its collective head on straight, to no avail, each day gives more perverted BS, Evil, than the last. I do not share JHK’s optimism, hence my increasing bitterness against the perps. Every society in history has gone through a formative, positive stage followed by a destructive, evil stage leading to destruction. What is becoming more and more obvious is that, to the dismay of our FF, wherever they are, the Great American Experiment is rapidly now becoming a failure, not impervious to evil as was hoped. The Evil, embedded in humanity, takes over regardless of their freedom and Liberty.

      Those that await the second coming of God, may be correct as this country amongst many others, needs a good housecleaning. I do not see any other remedy for the malady that our country has become.

      Maybe unleashed Monkeypox.

        MOTHER OF HARLOTS
        AND OF THE ANOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

        We will be utterly destroyed. It may not be this week, or even this decade, but this country will be destroyed suddenly and without warning, as foretold in Rev. 17 & 18. Our churches, schools, and government openly revile all that is truly good, while promoting evil — castrating children, teaching kindergarteners that it’s fun to allow a fat man in a dress to sodomize them, promoting abortions and violent attacks upon random people for the literal hell of it, cutting off healthy limbs, lying, cheating, stealing, destroying others’ lives, and so on. We will get exactly what we deserve.

    • Rowdypiglet September 19, 2022 at 2:42 pm #

      It’s been quite a while since we began telling kids that they could be anything they wanted to be. That was a particularly toxic lie. It has given a couple generations of people the belief that if they wanted something that they were unable to have – usually because of a lack of will, intelligence, or talent – someone was oppressing them and that someone would have to pay because it WASN’T FAIR!

      I worked with disturbed children at the edges of the juvenile justice system for a while, and heard this often from clueless adults. I can’t think of anything much worse than telling a 10 year old with an IQ of 60 that he can be anything he wants to be. Yet every time he tries to do almost anything other than the simplest task, he fails. He fails over and over, and becomes more and more angry and frustrated, yet the supposed adults in his life never change the message. What on earth would be wrong with encouraging him to do something he actually could do?

      From Paul Craig Roberts

      Rasmussen Poll:
      The poll tested the US population on its response to President Biden’s assertion that

      “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

      The poll results are:

      48% of likely U.S. voters agree with Biden including 36% who Strongly Agree. Forty-seven percent (47%) disagree with Biden including 39% who Strongly Disagree.

    • Uncle Bob September 19, 2022 at 9:53 pm #

      Which is what Trump has said. But the mediots persist in saying it’s only about Trump and his henchmen (as Nanshee Peloshee says), no doubt to give us a false sense of security before we’re wheeled off to American Chemnos and Bergen-Belsens.

  4. Rodster September 19, 2022 at 9:57 am #

    While many share your anger and frustrations, Jim, the truth of the matter is that the entire house of cards comes crashing down. That is what History has taught us for the last several thousands of years.

    Eventually the Empire in charge comes crumbling down. No wonder Vlad Putin, gives the giant Middle Finger to “Western Values”. It has become a showcase of depravity.

    The bottom line is this, eventually the masses rise up and kick the motherfuckers who are doing this shit out of Office. When that doesn’t work, the anger boils over and it turns to civil unrest, followed by violence. People will only tolerate so much bullshit. The tea kettle is starting to boil around the world.

    The Yellow Vest are back in action, people are starting to sense, that they are the target. My favorite quote from Gerald Celente is: “When people lose everything and have nothing else to lose…THEY LOSE IT”.

      • Night Owl September 19, 2022 at 11:14 am #

        No. It is to do exactly what they have told you.

        Create a system in which all assets are in the hands of the few. The population is regularly reduced in order to keep the herd managable.

        Managing is done via AI, and the biometric identity system they are trying to install to control what you can eat, how far you can travel (geo fencing), and what small degree of freedom you will be afforded within the smart grid.

        At present, they can’t really control the population in any sense outside of limiting access to a middle and upper class lifestyle.

        In the New Normal, they hope to control every aspect of your life, including when you die.

            Aside from one private magazine publisher, I have spent most of my career in the public sector.

            Considering that all of my public-sector employers more or less openly support the WEF global agenda, I feel no shame in working in the corporate sector now. In my field, there is virtually no where to go (in Europe at least).

            Fact is, unless you are independent of the system (most are not), you cannot really help but end up supporting it in some form and on some level.

            When the opportunity comes up to work for an org. that is fighting the good fight, I will do so. I already donate time and funds to such orgs privately. My family isn’t going to starve, however, and this war won’t be won alone.

          Why do you think there are thousands of illegal Brazilians, Jamaicans etc. already on the Island? Most of them starting coming here a couple of decades ago to work as gardeners and lawn manicurists. Basically they didn’t have any other skills. Many are now legal; many are not, and they just keep coming. Also now, from Jamaica. All of the kids are being educated in Island schools. No one knows where a lot of these people actually live.

          This goes along with the advent of hedge-fund money—and this more or less includes the Obamas, IMO. .

          Re Tucker: Ignorance and poor research are a poor launch pad for satire. ers into demagoguery. Which that particular broadcast did.

          Tucker would have done much better to stick to the woke politics aspect of it and not open with the into “whiteness” of MV, which is simply wrong. I’m sure Tucker knows this, considering his own social background. He is not ignorant of the actual social history of MV. So, this was a bit of Tucker demagoguery.

          It’s the same old story with the MSM. If you know anything about anything, You see how virtually all reports of “reality” are shaped to put forward a particular narrative.

    Here I recommend a book from the 70s, Malachi Martin’s Hostage to the Devil. I recently read it and what struck me particularly is the third case discussed, that of a man (child of a Lutheran/Jewish marriage) who elected to go through gender reassignment surgery to become a (well, eunuch, really) woman. There’s a description of a satanic ritual where the woman is violated at a satanic mass and becomes imperfectly possessed by a demonic spirit.

    I found that episode compelling reading. What the book further emphasizes is how the demonic spirits are neuter and hate properly ordered sexuality of male and female sex.

    The book was written long before the current madness, But it does definitely support JHK’s thesis. The overall intelligence that has brought us to this point needs to plan over multiple human lifespans, something no cabal can manage as well.

    The book also makes the point about how hard exorcism is for the exorcist. And how the Catholic Church supplied exorcists for two of the five cases who were not Catholic. All the exorcists were pre-Vatican II priests. One wonders if casting out demons has also been discarded, and if that has led to the widespread demonic possession.

    I would never have thought this 20 years ago. But it’s making sense now.

        Thanks for posting that, Walter. Last week I heard Jonathan Can being interviewed on the radio, and was trying to remember the name of that book. He basically summarized tit by saying that contemporary Western society is re-creating the gods of the ancient world, especially those that promote sexual deviancy, and that the pagans promoting them demand sacrifices especially of the young, which contribute to the destruction of the family and society. According to him, this is all happening all over again with transgenderism, homosexuality, abortion, and attacks on the family.

        Dr Tom and Walter B, I’ve read both books and was impressed and honestly frightened by them. They parallel all too closely what I see around us.

        I find it difficult to get people with no spiritual perception to even consider these possibilities. I’ve tried to think of an analogy that would help them understand, but all that comes to mind is inadequate in conveying the sense of genuine evil that is so very different from error or ordinary wrongdoing.

        In this culture, many people worship Mammon and sacrifice their relationships, their integrity, their honesty, their children, on Mammon’s altar, even if they have never heard of him. Either Mammon exists in some very real sense, and accepts these offerings, growing in strength and influence through them, or there is no Mammon – yet, somehow, the effect is the same as if there were.

    My fear is that the Democrats will be permitted to steal more elections this fall. In the months prior to Election Night 2020 I watched with concern as the American public was urged to refrain from going to the polls and, instead, to mail in an undocumented piece of paper. And, of course, the only reason to require voters to present the same verifying identification they would need to buy a beer is because of racism.

    It could not have been more obvious that everything about this scheme was bent toward making election fraud easy and unprovable.

    Observing the massive and widely-reported chicanery that took place election night after it became clear that Trump was clobbering Biden, I assiduously collected links to dozens of reports on the details of the stolen election, only to watch those sources all get sucked down the memory hole in the weeks that followed.

    Getting a majority of legitimate voters to cast down the Democratic Party in November is the easy part. The real challenge will be to keep the vote counters from reporting the result that they have preordained.

    • DrTomSchmidt September 19, 2022 at 10:26 am #

      What happened with the election was: Trump drove turnout sky high. Once it was clear how high turnout was, it was necessary to produce enough mail-in ballots to overcome that margin. That had to be a careful operation done quickly: they couldn’t use mail in ballots of people who actually voted, and they had to be selective for the ones who didn’t. They slipped up and produced a few ballots for people who had died, but for the most part they got the ballots right.

      Despite the claims about Dominion, most of the hand-recounts showed a proper win for Biden. That means when they went to count the paper ballots, the numbers lined up with what was reported.

      You have to admire the organization and efficiency that produced this result, even if, like me, you detest the result. That was hard work, which people on the right accuse the Left of avoiding.

        You’re right about their organization and efficiency. To look at them, you wouldn’t think it possible. But eventually you realize that normal people have lives, children, work, homes, and many other concerns. These people have nothing but their zealotry. When you get a job, you intend to at least try to do that job and to advance through your work; they intend to do the work of Woke and nothing else, disassembling the company and converging it from within, until it doesn’t produce anything but more Woke. This is how they are in every single aspect of their lives. It’s what they are, and it’s all they are, and it’s the reason they can do things that only a Borg-like collective hive mind can do.

We’ll be offered some government food instead, and it will be of such terrible quality and taste that many people will go out foraging instead, some doing it with weapons. Until all our weapons are taken away from us, the public theoretically always has the power to change things. What if every person owning a gun, an axe, or a thick hickory pick handle decides to use it with deadly force on any/all government people they see, changes would happen overnight. When you know you are facing starvation, and you’ve got nothing more to lose – you lose it.

          I sure hope we never experience famine in the USA. There are some horrifying you tube videos and images out there about the bad famine that occured in Ukraine after the communists collectivized the farming in the country. Very likely, people who are very hungry might also lack the energy or will to fight. That’s what happened in Ukraine a long time ago, you slowly died at home and that was it. Somehow, us imperfect human beings seem to deliberately create huge amounts of unecessary pain for ourselves.

          Or perhaps we are being led in this direction by disembodied evil entities that are placing thoughts in some people’s minds? Our educated minds tell us that disembodied entities, either good or evil, don’t exist in the first place, that consciousness must have an organic brain and nervous system. It seems that our host JHK is focusing on the topic of evil. Try to define evil. Is it a self aware entity that is acting as a sort of invisible parasite – or is it just an abstract concept, a silly red figure out of an acient fairy tale?

We need mail in ballots only for the military. No early voting or at least just a few days or a week max. One national election day would be even better. No counting ballots after midnight on election day. No drop boxes. No one is talking about this, so I guess it will be another election mess that could be big trouble.

          Revelation.

          And yes, pretty much. It’s not that hard, when you realize it’s echoed in Daniel, Ezekiel, and parts of the Gospels. The problem arises, imo, because we’re taught that Christ is a meek little lamb who, except for overturning the moneychangers’ table at the Temple, was a skinny guy who was nice to everyone. He was nice to people and healed the sick, but he was one badass motherfucker the first time around; you don’t want to be against him when he comes back because he will make you as if you never existed. He will rule the world with as rod of iron and impose godly will upon the people of Earth whether they like it or not. I’m not saying he’ll be unmerciful or unjust, just that most Christian writers and speakers are drawn toward the kindly aspects of the Good Shepherd, not the parts where he’s willing to knock anyone or anything on its ass if it threatens his flock.

        Not sure if I agree anyone can read and understand the Bible. To really read and understand the New Testament, you’ll need to be at expert level in Greek, and you’ll also need a thorough understanding of the cultural history and general religious beliefs of the time periods when the books were written. Cultures separated from our times by two millenia are not about to be understood that easily. When people don’t have a clue as to what they are reading, they just start making stuff up – like the televangelists do.

        • Jarek September 19, 2022 at 9:26 pm #

          So you don’t trust the Orthodox Churches to interpret for the faithful either?

          • Woodchuck September 19, 2022 at 11:12 pm #

            The Church recieved some criticism during its first three centuries. People would joke about Christians calling them the “people without a book”. Until the New Testament canon was put together and made into the official and authorized version, there was a confused babble of books and groups and various sects, many of them with differing views of just who Jesus was and how to worship Him or communicate with him. The religion had spread all over the place and easily crossed national boundaries. This created Christian groups and sects of all sorts of different national and ethnic flavors. In the third century there were gnostic Christians who produced some pretty wierd gospels that never made it into the canon. The Gospel of Judas is an example.

            Who has the correct interpretation of scriptures and who doesn’t? It depends on who you ask. It might be that Jesus never came here in the first place to bring to mankind a set of holy books. It wasn’t about books. People like Joseph Smith or the Prophet Mohammed (peace be unto him) 🙂 – now *they* appear on the scene with Holy Books. And there are Buddhist and Hindu scriptures and books. But nothing orginal from Jesus. In my opinion, if holy books are so important, then Jesus would have learned to write Greek and he would have written the New Testament himself. This would have prevented any and all doctrinal squabbling coming later. If Jesus was God incarnate, then learning Greek would have been child’s play for Him. Instead He’s born in a barn somewhere and grew up in one of the most obscure towns in Israel. Maybe God had Jesus born and raised that way for a purpose? Maybe so we don’t get all hung up on words, legalism, and “holy books”?

        • Anthea September 20, 2022 at 3:13 pm #

          There are many of Jesus’s own sayings that are quite obscure.

          A couple of weeks ago, the New Testament reading was the one where Jesus says that if you don’t hate your father and mother, sisters and brothers, you cannot be his disciple.

          In his homily, the priest did his best to explain that Jesus actually meant something else. This seems to be the go-to when it comes to some of Jesus’s other saying, as well: “No, he didn’t mean that. He meant this.”

          So Jesus apparently meant to say something else, other than what he actually said.

          Last Sunday the scripture was the parable about the dishonest steward whose master demands an accounting. So the steward goes to all the people who owe money to his master and gives them a steep discount–re-writing the amount of the loans on the spot. (The steward’s idea was to win the friendship of the debtors, so they would take him in when he got fired from his job.) We are told (by Jesus) that his master commended him for his shrewdness.

          I did not do well in my college accounting classes (Elementary Accounting 1 and 2), but this doesn’t add up to me.

          The moral of this story is that if you are not faithful in small things, you will not be faithful in big things, and that if you are not faithful in the care of things entrusted to you by others, “who will give you what is your own?”

          I’m not seeing how we get from point A to point B here.

          The steward was dishonest and had been cheating his master. When called to account, he figures out a way to cheat his master out of still more–but this time to the benefit of the debtors. He does this to befriend them. I frankly can’t see how he even carried off this deception. Does his master not have ANY idea how much these people owe him? (Some of these discounts were quite deep.)

          If White German Shepherd can understand this stuff, he’s doing better than I am. In fact, I feel I should ask him to explain the above to me, because I can’t figure it out.

          • Woodchuck September 20, 2022 at 4:49 pm #

            Not always, but sometimes the simplest and most obvious and easy explanation is the truth. But it’s a truth nobody wishes to consider because it opens up another big can of worms.

            The books of the NT were copied by hand. And there were copies floating around all over the place, usually each church had at least one copy of the book. Try copying by hand just one book of the Bible and see how you do. Boredom will set in and you’ll make mistakes. And you are making a copy of a copy of a copy and so on down the line and you’ll make mistakes, lots of ’em. Minor mistakes mostly. But sometimes a scribe finds himself copying something he doesn’t agree with and thinks is a mistake. So he “corrects” the mistake, sure that somebody before him made something up and stuck it in there. The verse about hating your parents could easily have been placed in there by a scribe with an axe to grind. There is absolutely no way to know for sure because we don’t have the orginal versions of the NT books. Those originals, and most all of those early copies of copies of copies of copies etc. dissappeared ages ago.

        Well, I had to check out pastor Bob B. This is a testimony as to just how versatile and diverse the Christian religion is. There’s even a version of it for the head bangers and metal crowd. A new one for me.

        But here is a pastor Bob that will be so strange and funny that it will be impossible not to laugh out loud or maybe you’ll even spew a drink. There are many versions of this and it went viral a long time ago, still gets millions of hits. Guys and especially little boyz might find this a lot funnier than some women perhaps.

    If shop teacher “Kayla” keeps her hair like that in a shop classroom, “she” won’t be around much longer because one of those machines will rip her scalp right off her demented head.

    As for the narcissist Crime Minister Trudeau, me thinks the newly elected head of her Official Opposition party, Monsieur Pierre Poilievere, will help put an end to that freak’s reign of terror. Of course, it may well depend on who’s counting the ballots. I believe we use Dominion voting machines so don’t bet on the outcome unless you also bet on professional wrestling matches.

      “one of those machines will rip her scalp right off her demented head.”

      My second thought.

      My first thought:
      Where does s/he shove the boobs when it comes to actually using a machine, or, actually, doing anything at all.

      Brief reminiscence:

      In college a girl in our dorm was quite slender and slight, but had huge boobs. She was very nice, very pretty, and she allowed as how the big boobs were kind of a problem for her. Actually, almost a medical problem. Could be kind of painful; she needed a super-constructed bra, etc.

      “But,” she said, “Sid loves them.”

      Sid being the boyfriend. .

      • MaryQueen September 19, 2022 at 11:09 am #

        Islander, on Twitter I saw a video of this guy using an electric saw, and he doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing – at all. Commenters were astounded at his lack of skill or safety measures. Maybe he decided to become a trans to distract from the fact he doesn’t know his subject or how to teach it.

          I doubt Sid was a monster, but you’d have to be living under a rock not to know that slender women with large breasts often suffer terrible back pain. For that reason, they can have breast reductions free on the NHS, just as an example. Happened to someone I worked with. She was actually quite proud of her boobs, but was eventually relieved and pleased to get the reduction op. Chronic back pain isn’t funny. And there are lots of Sids who just don’t think too hard.

        When I first saw this story, I thought it was fake. I’ve worked in my younger years in wood working machine shops, and if you’ve got crap like that hanging on you in front, it won’t be possible to do any meaningful work. Also, either the hair or the junk in front is eventually going to get tangled up in a belt, pulley, or some machine part and you are going to make the scene at the ER or possibly the morgue. Here in the US there are quite likely OSHA regulations prohibiting being dressed like that in real machine shops.

        Whatever is going on in that school has nothing to do with the real world. Whatever shop class they are teaching is likely a complete waste of time. They are probably doing little more than making bird houses and children’s toys.

    “You are asked to swallow ever-greater absurdities, destroying your self-respect because you know that you are a coward for not standing up to this host of degenerates.”

    Yes – the source of my acquired misanthropy.

    I find it curious, specifically among the believers of God and the Last Day, that we should talk simultaneously about this epic struggle against the forces of Satan – the apocalyptical – and some kind of justice against these same forces.

    The way I read scriptures, the forces of evil basically win, then God ends it. Sooo, all of this is supposed to happen, eh?

    Am I missing something?

    • CrusherMuldoon September 19, 2022 at 11:02 am #

      Well, Alfred I think you’re interpreting the Bible as it is written, yes. There is a happy ending though it’s always the darkest right before the dawn.

    • Woodchuck September 20, 2022 at 2:30 pm #

      “Apocalypse” means unvieling, the time when the lights are turned on in the kitchen and the cockroaches and mice all go running for cover. And the homeowner brings to the fight a can of raid and box of mouse poison. The time when belief systems are totally upended, lies are exposed, and confusion is rampant for those who cannot understand what is happening.

      All of us are going to die sometime, and our deaths are all spread out over time. Some die early in life, some die late, it varies from day to day, and nobody takes notice. What creates an event that is remembered for thousands of years is when suddenly nearly all of the entire human race dies at the same time. It’s the timing that’s critical. The last time God got really pissed at us, as the good book says, He repented from even making us in the first place. And he only let a small handful of people make it through. But that was enough it seems. Not saying I believe the flood story literally, but I’m sure there is something real behind the story, which is found in many different places in the world. It’s not just an old Babylonian fable.

      But humans are remarkable when it comes to procreation and survival. During the Dark Ages not too many people were living in Europe. But they recovered and enjoyed some good living in the Middle Ages. It might be that Dark Ages 2.0 is just around the corner for Europe, and maybe in a century or two, a new “Middle Ages” will emerge, with the migrants having gone back home long ago due to freezing weather, warfare, and no food.

    Being 70 and a Boomer, I can tell you this; I guarantee that young men and women who are now my age had the same bizarre thoughts and intentions that today’s Tik-Tok generation did. However, and you can call it what you want, there was a force that restrained most of us from carrying out these outlandish ideas. The idea of restraint and self-control was very prevalent, at least in the group that I hung with

    • Rowdypiglet September 19, 2022 at 11:59 am #

      The Boomers began it, and have supported it all along. You’re right in that they had the same thoughts and intentions, but things hadn’t been moved along to the point of manifestation in the wider world.

      I made the mistake of thinking it was a fringe phenomenon that would never be anything else. I have a big imagination, but it wasn’t big enough to conceive of parents ever allowing and even encouraging their children’s mutilation.

        The last of the big rock festivals was July 4th weekend 1970 about 30 miles from Macon Ga. The site was a stock car race track, and at the peak of the festival on Saturday nite when Jimi Hendrix was playing the estimates as to crowd size ranged up to a half million people there. Nobody died and a couple babies were born. Doubtless many more concieved there as well. It was the largest gathering of people in one spot in Georgia history at the time. Being a southern boy in college and a wannabe hippie at the time, I was there. I remember most of it, Hendrix was the highlight of the show and he played his version of the star spangled banner. I was seeing green glowing geometric shapes flying off the stage and buzzing around everywhere like drones. Everyone was as peaceful and nice as can be except for the few outlaw bikers that were around. Three days baking in the sun in near 100 degree heat. Local fire depts showed up and hosed down the crowd. Farmers arrived with wagon loads of watermelons. Exact opposite of what happened at Altamont, and in the Deep South to boot.

    Thanks for another incredible article, James!

    I keep trying to share your optimism that good will win out in the end but it’s very difficult to do so, seeing such depravity embraced by most of the common clay.

    People actually sacrificing their kids to the jab or trans surgery is something i would have never expected years ago. But, here we are.

    After 9/11, I sure would not have expected open borders after they used the event to usher in uber-security measures that they still use today, in order to “keep us safe.” Yet now they let potential terrorists and murderers right in. Insanity on wheels. I guess this means we need even more ‘safety’ measures to combat the peril the put us in by allowing criminals into the country no questions asked.

    It’s galling to see neighbors on the NextDoor app clamoring for more cameras all over town, in response to every little infraction. This is the crap that the Jo Jo Magoo ‘administration’ offers them, some sort of fake security by putting us under surveillance from every corner of our homes and out on the streets and in any store or building 24/7. I guess people want to be just like China.

    • Beryl of Oyl September 19, 2022 at 11:19 am #

      Speaking of being just like China, it turns out that idiotic social distance and mask voodoo did not come from someone’s stupid kid’s science project.

      That was the cover story for why we implemented the commie Chinese totalitarian measures.

      I guess they thought being seen as incredibly moronic would keep anyone from noticing that they followed the communist directives.

      “This story had the benefit of being dumb enough to be believable. Intelligent people often live by the heuristic “never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.” Thus, for those who realized the strict lockdowns of 2020 had actually been a catastrophe, the story that all this ruin had been brought about as a result of their government’s implementing sweeping mandates based on a 14-year-old’s science project was so dumb that it had to be true. That’s our gub’ment.”

      This is not to suggest that those who bought into the social distance/flatten the curve nonsense weren’t a bunch of morons.

            Kissinger is quoted approvingly for that, but when Trump said it in a cruder version, he was endlessly attacked.

            I think his point was that he already had wealth and power, personally. I can’t see that being attacked for 6 years has improved his life.

    • Beryl of Oyl September 19, 2022 at 12:46 pm #

      Wayne Barrett, the Village Voice reporter who made a career out of Donald Trump’s dealings, basically found that due to Donald’s pull with Democrat politicians, he was able to take advantage of cheesy undertakings by those politicians.

      When the NYT put out a call for dirt on candidate Donald Trump, my first thought was “why don’t they use the dirt they already have?”

      The reason was they couldn’t throw that mud without getting it on the people they wanted to stay protected.

      The Democrats were faced with the daunting task of having to create some dirt on The Donald, because the dirt they had implicated them rather than him.

    Also in NY did anyone see how Charlie Tebele, a Brooklyn electronics “distributor” (what is with all the supposed camera/stereo/electronic distribuirá anyway?) bought off Hochul with over $300K in donations from his immediate family for the right to distribute rapid COVID tests in NY at an extreme mark-up?

    Good morning and thank you. I love this time of year as we start to approach Halloween and the liminality of the realm of the dead. I hope you enjoy your coffee and rum. It’s at this time that we begin to see a bit more clearly what it is we are truly facing. We need the ultimate vampire slayer on this scene. For we are facing swarms of ravenous, demon locusts. Descending upon this land and given the power to torment and to sting for a set time. In Jesus’ name we pray, for the earth and the sea and the air is our church. Amen

    Mr. Kuntsler was on fire today.

    It’s deeply satisfying when someone can take what is apparently the same mass of information, emotion, speculation, certainty, critical observation that roils around in my mind and lay it out in an orderly way, making sense of it in a way I never could. Our host often causes me to feel as if I wrote a long and complicated mystery novel with many clues and red herrings but no conclusion – and someone who was above the forest, rather than lost in the trees, came along and put it all in order, said everything that needed to be said, and pointed it to a concise and logical conclusion.

    As for the humiliation, it could not be more overt than it is now, nor more painful to see people willingly demeaning themselves, stepping beyond the point of any possible redemption. The shame that is a natural human response when one’s actions are shameful has long since been replaced with “affirmation” for everything, no matter how vile. But we’ll collect on that shame eventually, and it will be uglier than we can imagine.

        Much worse than the principal’s office. You’d be separated from your parents by human resources, your parents would be sued, you’d be disgraced and then threatened with death on social media, your soon-to-be former friends wouldn’t come to your defense, but would stay silent, you’d be discharged from that school and have a stigma on you immediately at the next school where it would be difficult for you to make new friends.

        No teacher would speak up in your defense, otherwise they’d lose not only tenured position, but also the job itself.

        Then if you made any other “errors” the following school semester, you’d be sent to a local juvenile corrections centre or even a half-way house. End of educational career.

          You are so right. This entire performance by the the teacher is a setup to lawyer-up and sue. ManBoobs will claim discrimination, PTSD, and his sacred right to pretend any nonsense he wants and we must all genuflect or pay the price.

          If the school board doesn’t stand behind “her” then they’ll be sued too. I blame lawyers as much as anyone for the mess we’re in and, of course, many of the people in government have law degrees so I guess they know just how far they can skate between the laws.

          What happened in Louden (?) County, Virginia is a preview of what’s to come, I’m hoping. The parents and people with sense and decency stood up and threw out the woke governor, much to his surprise and the Democrats who backed him.

          • MaryQueen September 19, 2022 at 8:37 pm #

    If you want to know why the US has such a high death rate from covid, follow the money. In early 2020 Congress passed the CARES Act, which pays hospitals a 20% bonus if they claim a diagnosis of covid. You don’t have to go any farther than that to explain the resulting sky high death rates.

    As for “mutations” coronaviruses are relatively stable viruses, never known before 2020 for rapid mutations.

    Personally, I value what the Russian MoD has to say about the odd behavior of the virus, which as you will recall, showed up in Wuhan, than Italy, than wiped out a bunch of Iranian legislators, then came to the US in a nursing home in Washington state, then spread through other nursing homes in New York, New Jersey and Michigan before making its way through NY City. The Russian MoD points out that that is not normal epidemiology. Nor is it normal for respiratory viruses to spread in the summer months, instead of “cold and flu season”. Nor is it normal for new “variants” to show up in various places and then spread throughout the US by the next week. Nor is it normal for respiratory viruses to spread when the population is in lockdown.

    My thanks to Peter Watson who put this information on his VK blog, because you cannot find it easily using search engines.

    To quote the Russia MoD:
    “In May 2022, at a conference in Spain, Geoffrey Sachs – a leading expert at the prestigious medical journal The Lancet and a professor at Columbia University, the leading institution for global biosafety science – explained that “…the coronavirus was artificial and, with a high degree of likelihood, aided by American advances was generated in biotechnology … ”

    According to our experts, this is reflected in the variability uncharacteristic of most coronaviruses, resulting in different peaks in incidence, significant differences in lethality and infectivity, uneven geographic spread, and the unpredictability of the epidemic process overall. Despite efforts to contain and isolate cases, the pandemic appears to be being artificially fueled by the exposure of new variants of the virus to this or that region.”

    • Jarek September 19, 2022 at 12:40 pm #

      And during the same year, Flu fell to almost nothing. The more canny among us realized that “covid” was just the flu, rebranded. But not you! You believe!

      The media responded to this charge awkwardly and grotesquely, saying the lockdowns and masks were effective against the Flu more so than Covid. Or that Covid fought the Flu and was able to defeat it, taking victims for itself.

      • Paula D September 19, 2022 at 2:18 pm #

        I told you how the flu fell to nothing. You just choose to ignore it. That isn’t ‘canny’, it’s a stubborn refusal to recognize reality.
        Follow the money.

        The influenza swabs tested ‘negative’ for covid, but the PCR swabs tested ‘positive’ for flu.

        The government paid clinics and hospitals to use the PCR swabs.
        They did not pay for the flu swabs.

        So the medical profession used the PCR swabs instead of the flu swabs, thereby dropping flu numbers and raising covid numbers.

        Duh. Follow the money.

        • Paula D September 19, 2022 at 2:23 pm #

          That is, the PCR swabs tested ‘positive’ for covid when it was actually flu. whereas flu swabs did not test ‘positive’ when it was covid.

          Therefore all flu cases were called covid once the medical-industrial complex was paid to use the PCR swabs.

          • Jarek September 19, 2022 at 2:57 pm #

            Still believe in Covid, eh? Sad.

            The PCR test is fraudulent. It wasn’t designed for diagnosis. If you don’t understand this, you have missed a huge chunk of the story. The fraudulent test has been the diving engine of the whole thing.

          • Paula D September 20, 2022 at 11:29 am #

            You admit it was mostly the flu? That was my original point. You’re wrong about the PCR test of course.

          • Paula D September 20, 2022 at 4:06 pm #

            No. I know it’s a bioweapon.
            I’m just saying that the PCR test picked up any resp virus and called it “covid”.
            It’s not the flu.

          • Jarek September 20, 2022 at 6:25 pm #

            So where did the flu go? They rebranded the flu (and regular colds) as covid – the existence of which is unproven and unproveable at this point.

            Of course something novel may well have been cooked up in Wuhan of course, but it is not needed to explain what happened.

      “As for “mutations” coronaviruses are relatively stable viruses, never known before 2020 for rapid mutations.”

      Well, I don’t think this is true.

      Coronaviruses are well known for mutating quickly.

      I think this is pretty well established.

      They cause a lot of colds, and the speed of mutation is the primary reason for the decades-long failure to develop a vaccine for the common cold.

      Seems like all of this basic info is being massaged to one or another current agenda.

      • Paula D September 20, 2022 at 9:23 pm #

        No, Islander, it is true.
        Coronaviruses were known to be stable until 2020 when they suddenly went wild (according to the bullshit we were told).

        It is not well established that they mutate wildly, that is a lie that has become well established in the last couple of years.

        And most colds are caused by rhinoviruses, not coronaviruses.
        It’s not that they mutate that wildly either, it’s just that there are about 80 strands circulating through the human population. Once you get one strand you are immune but it takes years to go through them.

        That is why you no doubt don’t have as many colds as you did as a child. Every rhinovirus a child encounters is new to them, so they can have more than one a year until they build up immunities.

        • Paula D September 20, 2022 at 9:23 pm #

          Grr, it is NOT true. I really need to proofread better.

          • Paula D September 20, 2022 at 9:24 pm #

    UFO ability to execute instantaneous right angle course change indicates physics of the supernatural (demonic) realm. They are here; things is as they is, boys & girls. People of the Book (Judeo/Christianity) understand the signs of the times, period.

    The octogenarian who has cheated death innumerable times has fixated on Deuteronomy Chapter 28 vv 14/15 applied to our America in this time. Verse 14 spells out the prosperity of a good people; Verse 15 reveals curses coming to an evil nation. America is crossing over…

    Lincoln the Railroad President understood “The Great Tree” of Danie[ 4 as a type of the United States experiment. Lincoln anticipated railways as an existential component; requisite for binding together the Union Of States in the time of trial. Noted in Daniel 4 V15, “Bands Of Iron” etc.

      Years ago out flying landed at a small airport at dusk. Deserted. Got a coke from the machine, stretched out on a picnic table and while watching the night sky saw what looked like a satellite coming from the south. Estimated the speed about 30,00 mph. Directly overhead it made a snap 180 and disappeared. One of five inexplicable sightings.
      Still wondering.

      • JackStraw September 19, 2022 at 12:58 pm #

        Saw the exact same thing about 20 years ago while hanging out with friends on the back deck.

I lost interest in being friendly, and I really don’t care much at all about the pain they are about to experience. That pain, however excruciating or even deadly it might be – will be beneficial in the end for bringing these people back to reality. If they insist on getting Russia to blow the entire region to pieces whereby Europe is reduced to a Dark Ages lifestyle, well, about all we can say about that is Europe got tired of living and decided to end it all and turn the clock back 1500 years.

    In these few words, Mr. Kunstler has identified our main purpose here:


    that good and evil exists in all of us, and that we have a duty to our sacred consciousness to tend to the right side

    Now, determining what is the right side is a tricky business, because the sides are not valleys and mountains; they are waves and oceans, always in motion. And we have to roll with the currents, while still keeping our heading.

    I was an anti-war protester in the 60’s, but somehow my energy and intention was appropriated by the civil rights path, which led straight to the current hell of equalism and equity.

    We all make mistakes in what we think will be the good, but we have a duty to course-correct.

    I think that is what Mr. Kunstler’s guidepost blog and those who come here faithfully are doing.

      This is true at the individual level and the group level.

      Huge amounts of Black crime are now allowed since more of them cannot be arrested than Whites in many places. Ditto in the schools as far as misbehavior. Arresting more of them means you are racist – not that they commit crimes in far greater numbers per capita.

    “The USA’s Democratic Party of Chaos is behind all of this lunacy…
    Ultimately, the Left will choke to death on its many crimes and we can return to being a people who confidently know the difference between right and wrong.”

    All of the real Democrats exited this once-proud-but-now-empty-vessel of a Party after JFK was strongly dealt with. First came war-whore LBJ… leading then to The Arkansas Bandits. And ‘The Party’ has never been the same and is now fully beyond redemption.

    And who moved in over the years to That Hell-of-a-Shell-of-a Party but those who are now called… ‘The Left’.

    The Left? More like… The Bereft. The desolate. The sad. The empty. The dangerous.

    ‘The Left’ is like someone who has just been told they are fired from their job. They are angry that somebody doesn’t see things Their way and simply fall over awe stuck from (Their Lefty) ways and agendas and so They got themselves canned. And now, all They want to do before the friendly gate guard escorts them to the door with their box of personal possessions and nifty collection of non-binary celebration wall posters and trans-gender desk dolls is to trash the place anyway and every way They can. And steal what They can shove into Their pockets.

    And so, They are quickly placing viruses into the computer system and screaming that everyone in that place is racist and sexist and that they all deserve to die quickly from Global Warming while They are throwing equipment and files on the floor before the friendly gate guard corrals Them into a contained bear-hug rage while dragging their flailing irrational meat sack out the front door.

    Yes, that’s today’s Left. More like, Left Out. Left out from sanity. Left out from sound moral and ethical foundation. Left out from living a purposeful life. Left to… fester in a bubbling puss of delusion and anger and false superiority and groundless feelings of entitlement.

    It is sad for Them. And it just as sad for we… the sane remnant few who have to live around these raging loons… many of whom who have Their wayward hands on the top levers of power in ‘The Indispensable Nation!’.

    So… this is how it ends? The Great American Experiment? Born with hope and faith and blood and tears and now just sitting in a big messy heap from Sea to Shining Sea?

    Maybe there is hope for ‘The Left’ after all. Remember… all The Left have to do is just make THREE left turns and then maybe we can begin to right this Ship of State.

    ‘Right’… meaning good, proper, just, appropriate, principled. Not that other kind of phony ‘Right’.

    Keep going Left, Leftists. Three lefts, then stop. Please.

      I read somewhere, quite a long time ago, that JFK was not assassinated, but the Democratic Party was eliminated by the ruling class/masters/deep state

      LBJ knew who pulled the strings. The Kennedy’s made the mistake in believing that had agency, and the keys to the kingdom.

      I suspect, from what he has written in the past, that our host is relying on the only thing that will certainly and inevitably save us: reality. That which, as Philip K. Dick said, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.

      That’s not to say it won’t get very ugly. We’ve moved so far into fantasy land, and a particularly repellent fantasy at that, that the correction is sure to be stunning. But it simply isn’t possible, with or without supernatural intervention, to proceed as if the world is configured according to your personal desires and fetishes. Neither God nor Nature nor the laws of physics, whichever you prefer, will tolerate that indefinitely. I think we’ve about reached the outer limit of that tolerance.

    Is there a church that is not taken by woke, feminist culture? I have yet to find one. Even the pope is on-board.

    I don’t want to join the Amish yet. We all become the Amish before too long.

    • Rowdypiglet September 19, 2022 at 3:05 pm #

      The Amish are worth considering. I have Amish/Mennonite/Anabaptist ancestors and their influence is still felt. They’re best situated to survive what’s coming – strong families and social ties, faith, non-dependence on the state. If the electricity gets turned off, they’ll be just fine.

      I’m always interested by the fact that they let their kids freely partake of the supposedly wider culture in their teens, and they can leave the Amish way of life behind if they wish – yet, not many do. The pull of close families and communities where you are truly safe among like-minded friends of your own culture is a powerful thing.

      Several of the Catholic Churches in my area are very conservative and even do most of the mass in Latin–though a full-on Latin mass is rarely done.

      I don’t know if this is true or not, but my daughter told me that our diocese has forbidden the Latin mass. Nevertheless, once when we went to mass in another parish, it happened to be a Latin mass. I mentioned that it would have been nice to know this beforehand, and my daughter said that priests do not let it get around if they are planning to do a Latin mass. In other words, they’re trying to keep the head honchos at the diocesan level from finding out, as the priest would be punished in some way.

      A lot of the younger priests these days are very conservative.

      My daughter was once in a study group headed by one of the older priests, who pretty much said that Pope Francis should be assassinated. My daughter was surprised to hear a priest say that.

      Anyway, I think the tide is turning. If you’re in the right part of the country, it shouldn’t be hard to find a conservative church–though I don’t know much about area Protestant churches. I’ve found that Protestant churches prefer to keep the actual tenets of their denomination pretty much a secret. This is because, if the congregation knew what they were, most of them would lelave–or fall out of their pews in shock. So the Protestant churches stick to kumbaya stuff.

    This answers a lot of questions:

    COVID: “It’s A U.S. Government Operation”
    Why is America’s intelligence community so involved in the global COVID vaccine campaign?

    “A week ago, I discussed how the Department of Homeland Security filed for a patent regarding “fusion proteins containing luciferase” in 2017, and was granted the patent in 2019. Luciferase has only one purpose in medicine: tracking things. That’s all the proof you need to understand that the U.S. government is building a global surveillance state where people are tracked biometrically in real time.

    How does the Biden regime get you tagged with Luciferase? Through the new vaccines of course.”

            What I saw was a collection of people having fits etc (or appearing to at least), with emotive music overlaid and the pre-supposition that all these events were vaccine-induced, without any actual evidence of ANY of these purported facts.

            The Bill Gates outtakes are lacking in any context, so you can dismiss all that slander.

            The statements by those suffering weird events (those who haven’t died, at least) are moving & shocking, but again, there’s no evidence offered.

            This is not journalism. All I can say is that the level of evidence you require these days is a long way from what it was when you lived in the real world.

            Can you not see how far down the rabbit hole you’ve gone? You were led there by the actual ‘disinformation agent’ on this site, and you know to whom I refer.

            I noticed last thread you’d decided that ‘kbird’ was probably me. Sheesh. You were also dismissive of Ardern because of her accent (somewhat rich, from an actual Dunediner, given I’d be way more likely to understand your local tongue than any of the Yanks hereabouts). Do you hold with the Narcissist’s constant claim that she is a “trans” – whether transvestite or transgender is not made clear, of course).

            As to the death stats, sure – I’d certainly give them more attention and credence is they were being presented and explained by someone who knew what the fuck he was talking about. A few highlighted areas in one quarter out of seven (I think?) is, again, not evidence if it has no context.

            You’re lost, now. It was nice knowing you when you were a sensible, thoughtful ‘wee Scottish lady’. Now you’ve become a harridan almost of the frenetic quality of MaryQAnon, and a worshipper at the feet of Uber Dis Agent, Night Howler Monkey.

And let’s not forget Maddy de Garay, who participated in Pfizer’s trials for 12-15 year olds and ended up in a wheelchair, with permanent neurological disabilities and in constant pain, being fed through a tube, while being totally ignored by Pfizer and the FDA and her records being removed from the trial, because totally destroying one child in 1000 isn’t a good look, especially when that child was at no risk whatever from covid.

            The context was the timing of the rollout of the vaxx mandates. It’s hard to characterise such a disingenuous statement. The peaks in deaths for all age groups have been shown to follow the vaxx rollouts for those age groups (see Ed Dowd, who’s a bit of a whizz kid when it comes to tracking trends), in multiple international datasets. Check out the Israeli data and get back to us.

            Also, you might want to explain how, in the EU, the most ‘vaccinated’ countries are those with the highest excess death rates and vice versa.

            But oh, whoops, when it comes to excess deaths in the 40–60 age cohort caused by “people just not going to the doctor for their checkups,” suddenly it *is* “Correlation of some kind must equal causation of some kind . . .:” although there are zero data to support the “just missed their checkups and now they are dead” hypothesis.

            Indeed islander. And when it comes to teens, 20s and 30s, who are not known for needing checkups in the first place, but just went and dropped dead (the healthiest and fittest being the most likely to drop dead) there’s no explanation other than ‘shit happens’.

            Likewise, to establish that someone died of covid, the most tenuous of circumstantial evidence will do. Not to mention that it took the NHS 2 years to admit that 40% of those ‘hospitalised with covid’ were in hospital for something else entirely and just showed positive for covid on the basis of a worthless test. But if they died when they were in there, for diabetes, a chronic heart condition or anything else at all, they were included as a covid death. And they thought they’d be forgiven for their deliberate lies just because they started saying ‘with covid’ instead of ‘of covid’.

          • Paula D September 20, 2022 at 11:50 am #

            Correlation does not equal causation, but correlation is how scientific inquiry starts. “Huh, look at that. That seems suspicious. Let’s set up a study to look into it.”

            But not with the vaccine deaths. Then it becomes “Nothing to see here. It isn’t happening, it didn’t happen, and anyway, it isn’t caused by the vaccines so there is no point in investigating. And if you try to investigate you will lose your job and your license because nothing is happening”.

            And yeah, the covid death rate was rigged. The CARES Act gives hospitals a 20% bonus for every covid death.
            And the US then produced the highest death rate in the world.
            You can definitely correlate those two facts, because money drives everything in this country.
            It is easy to shape outcomes simply by providing a monetary reward for the outcome you want. No need to assign a government minder for every clinic or hospital, simply dangle a bonus in front of them.

            My friend had a serious intestinal problem in 2021 which put her in the ICU 3 times that year. They tested her for covid each time, of course. They are paid to do so.
            The first two times she tested negative, and she was released each time, but the third time was the charm. She tested positive, so then she was a ”covid patient”.
            They kept her for months and even put her on a ventilator ($30,000 bonus). She had no respiratory difficulty. They told her that she had a hiatal hernia and intubating her would reduce it. Say WHAT??? That was clearly bullshit and I can’t believe she fell for it. But after she was on the vent she no longer communicated with our little group of friends.
            It took another 2 months before she died. Ka ching for the hospital. I have no doubt her death was chalked up to ”covid”.

    All leaders in all countries need to face what our host named “The Long Emergency”. The craziness we are experiencing is the best they can do. They are trying to arrange things so they and their families survive the resource wars and mass death. It sure doesn’t look like they are trying to cushion the blow for their own citizens. They will of course help the subset of their citizens who might be useful to their survival. But they know that without cheap resources- primarily energy- there will be mass death in the future. It can look like a collusion among evil people when the primary interests of the ruling classes coincide orthogonally with the interests of a majority of the ruled.

    Seems like comment volume is way down; probably a indication of resignation & acceptance.

    For those burdened with the terrible knowledge of our collective situation, as they reflect upon growing awareness, doubt, then conviction, the inescapable conclusion is that one really cant do anything until the games are truly afoot.

    I mean, how often can one complain, curse the “evil ones”, argue a point ad infinitum, when it’s all so meaningless and useless?

    We are where we are, the facts are the facts, and players are making their moves. A poster above correctly pointed out that when you cancel out the noise, move past the vanity fair, there lies only truth.

    We know what’s happening, why it’s happening and can only wait until a certain threshold reach the same destination. Maybe it’s 5%, maybe it’s 25%; it’s a big unknown.

    One can only imagine the WEF war gamers furiously playing through alternative scenarios to assess how much time they actually have.

    How Anti-White Racism Won Acceptance in Elite White America

    John Murawski

    In a 2021 lecture at Yale University titled “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” psychiatrist Aruna Khilanani described her “fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step, like I did the world a favor.”

    Around the same time, a scholarly article in a peer-reviewed academic journal described “whiteness” as “a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which ‘white’ people have a particular susceptibility.” The author, Donald Moss, had also presented his paper as a continuing education course for licensed therapists who would presumably treat patients with this condition. The paper advises: “There is not yet a permanent cure.”

    This is a sampling of the new racism that is gaining purchase in American society even as its advocates relentlessly punish speech they deem harmful and threatening to people of color. It parallels the acceptance of anti-male rhetoric that casts masculinity as “predatory” and “toxic,” or just casually demeans males as oafish and clueless, which allows the Washington Post to give a megaphone to Northeastern University professor Suzanna Danuta Walters to ask: “Why can’t we hate men?” (Her conclusion: We can and we should.)

    The escalation of this inflammatory rhetoric is reaching the highest levels of American society, as when President Biden insinuated in a fiery campaign speech last week that Donald Trump supporters are “white supremacists” and when he maligned conservative mask skeptics last year for “Neanderthal thinking.”

    What strikes a casual observer is that such language would be instantly denounced if it targeted racial minorities or other protected groups. Just as remarkable is that this new rhetoric is not coming from dropouts and loners at society’s margins; it is being advanced by successful professionals who have scaled the heights of respectability and are given a platform on social media and in prestigious cultural outlets.

    And though each of those examples generated a public furor, such inflammatory rhetoric is defended or downplayed by cultural gatekeepers. The incidents have been piling up especially in the past few years, especially since the election of Donald Trump to the White House during the ascent of Black Lives Matter in the age of social media, and even include cases of people calling for the hate of privileged groups and insisting it’s not hate speech.

    In its ultimate sign of success, this messaging has taken hold in public schools, corporate workplaces, medical journals, scientific research and even diversity training in federal agencies. It’s not limited to any single race but endorsed by whites, blacks, Asians and others, and disseminated in diversity materials and workplace-recommended readings that characterize white people as flawed, predatory and dangerous to society. Its sudden spread has caused a sense of culture shock and given rise to acrimonious school board meetings and employee lawsuits over hostile work environments as legions of teachers, students and workers have been educated about white privilege, white fragility, white complicity, and the moral imperative to de-center “whiteness” so as not to “normalize white domination.”

    This new take on speech produces a moral paradox, particularly among academics and journalists: Those who are most militant about policing what they deem to be hate speech against minorities, women, gays and trans communities are often the most tolerant of demeaning depictions, incendiary rhetoric and violent imagery against whites and men.

    To those who see a double standard, such routine disparagement of masculinity and whiteness is a case study in hypocrisy that upends longstanding norms against stereotyping entire social groups. It’s a manifestation of what Columbia University linguist and social commentator John McWhorter dubbed “woke racism” in a 2021 book of the same name that warns of the dangerous spread of “the kinds of language, policies, and actions that Orwell wrote of as fiction.”

    But its advocates insist there is no double standard; they argue they are simply speaking truth to power, which should cause discomfort. In this belief system, reverse discrimination can’t exist because social justice demands tipping the scales to favor marginalized groups to correct for centuries of injustice.

    They include Rutgers University historian James Livingston who, in a Facebook critique of gentrification, described a Harlem burger joint as being “overrun with little Caucasian assholes who know their parents will approve of anything they do. Slide around the floor, you little shithead, sing loudly you unlikely moron. Do what you want, nobody here is gonna restrict your right to be white.”

    The post concluded: “I hereby resign from my race. Fuck these people. Yeah, I know, it’s about access to my dinner. Fuck you, too.”

    {snip}

    It can seem that such putdowns and trash talk have burst out of nowhere in the last few years. But the underlying justifications have been percolating for decades, and they are seen by skeptics as a modern repackaging of ancient us-versus-them tribal reflexes. Telltale signs of role-reversal have been described by serious thinkers, such as 19th century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who wrote that “He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself.”

    More recently, author Douglas Murray has warned of the tendency for social justice movements to “behave – in victory – as its opponents once did” – which is to say: meanly – and which ultimately results in “the normalization of vengefulness.”

    The idea that stereotyping and denigrating entire groups has no place in a society that strives for equality is one of the signature achievements of the Civil Rights era. By the 1970s, openly expressing racist slurs and jokes against black people was seen as a distasteful holdover from the Jim Crow era, an Archie Bunker-ism signifying low education and low intelligence.

    The prohibition against racist speech rapidly became generalized to all identity groups. Ethnic slurs against Poles, Italians, Asians, and others became verboten as did mockery of gays and the disabled. Many words once commonly used to describe women, such as “dame” and “broad” became unacceptable, while terms that were once seen as neutral or descriptive, such as “colored,” “Oriental,” and “Negro,” suddenly took on negative connotations, and became unutterable in public (creating a replacement term, “people of color”).

    But at the same time that these language taboos against expressing prejudice were becoming widely accepted across the political spectrum as a matter of civility, a far-more radical effort to regulate speech was percolating on the left.

    This movement sought to limit speech on the rationale that language was a form of social control and therefore the source of oppression and violence. The assumption that hurtful language leads to harmful policies ultimately produced today’s cancel culture phenomenon, where otherwise well-regarded professionals are investigated, suspended, canned, or booted from social media for simply questioning the factual claims of Black Lives Matter, for affirming biological sex differences, for satirizing ritual land acknowledgements, and even for publicly saying the Mandarin word “nei-ge” (because it supposedly resembles a racial epithet in English).

    The core proposition of this mindset can be traced to philosophers like Michel Foucault, who developed theories of language as a form of societal power and domination, and Herbert Marcuse, the Marxist scholar whose now-classic 1960s essay, “Repressive Tolerance,” argues that the oppressor class and the oppressed cannot be held to the same standard. Marcuse proposed that the classical liberal doctrine of free speech is a mechanism that benefits capitalists and others who wield power, that the struggle for “a real democracy” paradoxically necessitates “the fight against an ideology of tolerance.”

    {snip}

    Speech codes have been a staple of college campuses for decades but the stakes intensified after Donald Trump was elected president and the nation underwent a social transformation that some call the Great Awokening. Seemingly overnight the bar for permissible speech rose for the oppressor and dropped for the oppressed. And now it was overtly about politicizing and weaponizing speech to save humanity from itself.

    {snip}

    Many Americans are still trying to figure out the boundaries of acceptable speech at a time when striving for colorblindness and equal treatment mark a person as part of the problem. However sensible it might have seemed a half-century ago as a corrective measure or to alleviate pangs of guilt, the creation of separate standards for different groups now strikes some as profoundly regressive.

    “The development of two separate language codes, one for whites and one for blacks, was ominous,” the conservative writer Christopher Caldwell observed in his 2020 book, “The Age of Entitlement.”

    “The rules of American public decorum now resembled medieval strictures that permitted only noblemen to carry weapons or ride horses, or laws that forbade certain classes of citizens to address others by a certain name.”

    Jarek: Imagine giving up our noble Bill of Rights for this mess of disgusting multicultural pottage. But we did. We tried to include people in our Union who not only had no interest in our heritage but were actively hostile to it. Clearly that was an error, one capitalized on by the Global Slavemasters – also known as Bankers.

    None of this will ever harm the White Elite, or so they think in any case. Thus they see it as a fine tool for crushing the Old Believers.

          Next on the agenda I suppose , and rightly so if you follow that logic to its logical conclusion,

          Remove all those monuments to Blue Coats who were fighting to preserve the White colonialist – Imperialist Union.

          Remove all those monuments to Imperialist Blue Coats who put the boot on the neck of Indians ( can we still call them Indians ? ) ,

          Filipinos , Haitians, Mexicans , Cubans , and
          Chinese .

          Surely at some point Arlington Mansion needs to come down . It is after all a monument to slave owners , and one Robert E . Lee.

          For that matter , Arlington as a whole was once an estate , and the last owner of that estate before it became a graveyard was Robert E. Lee.

          Heck , plow the whole thing under.

        BRH,
        Where is it headed?

        Again, they double down.

        The ATF requested a 13% increase to its 2023 budget to fund an expansion of enforcement, an increase in oversight of Federal Firearms Licensees (FFL), a national gun database, the reclassification of 40,000,000 AR-15 pistols as NFA items, and an increase to the annual stipend for agents killed in the field to $50,000 per year.

        Second Amendment rights organization Gun Owners of America says the ATF will use the 920 million previously collected firearms transactions to build the national firearms database. According to Second Amendment legal organizations, sweeping moves like this were stopped by the Supreme Court in West Virginia v. EPA (2022), FDA v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. (2000), and Alabama Assn. of Realtors v. Department of Health and Human Services (2021).

        Analyst Comment: According to the ATF’s 2023 strategy, the additional funding will be “directed to the most serious offenses and most dangerous criminals.” Republican members of Congress have previously opposed the reclassification of pistol braces, which are now a common item owned by millions of law-abiding Americans, as NFA items. The move to reclassify is likely to create millions of federal firearms felonies, not target the country’s most serious offenders (although it may also create some serious offenders).

        Second Amendment rights organizations are expected to challenge the registry and reclassification in court. Republican pressure alone may not be enough to prevent these changes, however, following repeated demands by the Biden administration to “do more” on gun violence. Gun confiscation will be a red line for many Americans and will likely become a trigger for political violence. – J.V.

    I don’t have any particular faith that people will tend to the better angels of their nature. More or less it would seem that people generally are devolving into a primitive, uncultured, and ugly state. Presumably this is why a society as ours can achieve great technological advancements while the population becomes dumb and dumber.

    Not to say there aren’t those who will listen to the good angels. Even many? But the waters flow downstream and the winds go where they wish and with them the schools and the flocks. And they love their shepherds. And will even follow wicked ones over a cliff.

    So yes. One can stand against the powers and principalties. And if they are small they need many, many, and many. And if they are 90 feet tall? Well then they might just be king.

    I’m comfortable referring to the degenerates you speak of as psychopaths. Not simply because they have rightfully earned the title but because definitionally it is sound to do so. As a psychologist once said in so many words that the world is a free for all playground in the eyes of psychopaths.

    So its quite easy to understand from that view that laws are merely a means to an end. As are traditions and norms. As is collateral damage. And so forth. Suprisingly still is the number of people who aren’t aware we are being ruled over by psychopaths at this point. Which goes back to my first point.

    • Woodchuck September 20, 2022 at 2:05 pm #

      Psychopathy is the real reason why democracies and republics simply *cannot* work. In a republic, no mechanism whatsoever is in place to keep the psychopaths from eventually taking over. It’s happened to every republic in the past, and it’s happening to ours now.

      Psychopaths look at government not as a burden and a duty for those in leadership positions. Instead, the look at government as a “free for all playground”. For them, an important position in government means they’ve just found entry into a candy store and the have unlimited credit in the place. Psychopaths are the very last people that should be in government. The levers controlling government machinery should be locked away from them. Instead, in a democracy/republic that machinery is there right in front of them, and of course they are going to start fiddling with it, always with disastrous results for everyone, not just them.

      Monarchies have no such issues. You are born and trained into a position and its regarded as a sacred duty you must perform, whether you like the job or not is irrelevant. Rest assured, psychopaths love that job more than anything else on the planet that is available. From the Mad Monarch’s site:

      “Hereditary monarchy just isn’t fair!

      Why not? How can any system for determining national leadership be absolutely fair? It hardly seems fair that one person should receive the top job simply because he or she is more popular. Surely the correct criteria should be how qualified a person is rather than if they are good at making speeches, more photogenic or being more gifted at graft and deceit. In a monarchy the top job goes to someone trained from birth to fill that role. In a republic, even under the best circumstances, an elected president will take half their term learning to do the job and the other half campaigning to retain it; hardly a model of efficiency. Hereditary succession seems much more “fair” than granting power to those able to swindle enough money and promise enough favors to the powerful to obtain the highest office in the land.

      Monarchies are dangerous! What if the monarch is incompetent?

      The same question could be asked about republican leaders. However, rest assured, monarchs who are not capable of fulfilling their duties can be replaced and have been throughout history. Take two of the oldest and most stable monarchies; in Great Britain, when King George III became incapacitated the Prince of Wales was made regent and exercised his duties for him. Similarly, in Japan, when the Taisho Emperor was no longer able to fulfill his duties, the Crown Prince took over those duties for him as regent. On the other hand, even in the most successful republic in the world, the United States, only two presidents have ever been impeached and neither one was actually removed from office.”

        So basically there is no guarantee with any system. If a system isn’t truly democratic or republican but feigns itself to be to it’s own people that is likely the worst situation. At least when a dictator says they are a dictator then its on the table and there doesn’t need to be any discussion or wondering about it any further. It doesn’t seem like there is a way to prevent psychopaths from entering into power because there is a selectiveness for that in reality. But like you sort of imply if I understand correctly more or less if anything could be done it would be to reform them or cultivate them from the beginning to control for that pathology. Certain rigid systems and controlled settings may do just that.

    “My word, this is worse than we had predicted… EU ?? has just recorded 53000 Excess Deaths in July, that’s a massive 16% increase on the rolling 5 year average and the Majority are ??? ????? deaths…Clearly something terrible is unfolding…I wonder what it could be ”

    We have arrived, kids. Over the next few years, as the immune systems of the clot-shotted shut down and the spike proteins take over, we are going to continue to watch the number of lives cut drastically short continue to rise exponentially.

      Awful as it is, NightOwl, those who are being removed are the true believers in this fantasy. They’re also, as a group, the same people who support and encourage all the other nonsense we’re afflicted with – particularly the ongoing attacks on the bodies and souls of children.

      There will be many fewer of these to contend with in future, having signed their own death warrants. I wouldn’t have had it so, but even in my own family I had no success in getting them to just read and consider information from opposing views before making a decision. Two of them are now dead – one from an early heart attack, the other from a virulent cancer that reached its final stage in a mere few months. Others are clearly damaged, the damage is severe, and was noticeable immediately after getting jabbed.

      • Paula D September 20, 2022 at 12:11 pm #

        Condolences for your family members, but I would point out that a lot of those killed or damaged were forced to take the shot.
        They didn’t want it, but they were told that they would be fired if they didn’t take it.
        And then some took it to travel or go to restaurants or other trivial reasons which seemed like a good idea at the time.

        • GreenAlba September 20, 2022 at 12:27 pm #

          Also a lot were not ‘true believers’ just people who were too trusting and didn’t realise their institutions – especially their public health authorities – were not just incompetent but out and out malevolent. Most of those had no wish at all to push the vaxx on anyone else or to refuse them access to anywhere for not being vaxxed. Throughout the whole 3 years, the only people I’ve had vaxx conversations with have been either people who now know what’s going on or those whose eyes I’ve been trying to open. Some of us just had our eyes opened too late. We’re not any kind of fanatic. We might have been taken in for a while, but that’s not a capital offence.

            Of course you’re right, and I’m a bit bitter. Many people just trusted and were betrayed. Many others would have lost their employment if they hadn’t capitulated. My bitterness is for those who were offered information and simply would not look at it. It wasn’t worth their lives, and feels as if they were thrown away out of sheer stubbornness.

        • Not_GeorgeT September 21, 2022 at 1:04 pm #

          Seems a reasonable conclusion

          ‘They didn’t want it,…..’ a Hobson’s choice?

          Many in healthcare have chosen the ‘fired’ route. My opinion is they won’t be back. By now they have already embarked on new endeavors. These are an independent group, critical thinkers likely with a lot of self-confidence earned by being problem-solvers. They will solve the problem of being fired for jab refusal and move forward with their lives.

          If ever the administrators (by and large a group of incompetents) try offering the jobs back, it will be further display the incompetency. They’ll possibly be too busy fending off class-action suits for back pay and benefits to spend time recruiting.

          The one-time hopeful travelers who took it early on weren’t necessarily paying attention. Unfortunate. I suspect many thought it would be over in short order, and the ‘vaccine passport’ was just an add-on. In hindsight, many in this group would never have ‘complied’ if they knew travel would be severely restricted and the jabs would be more than a one-off item.

          I’d place a good number of them in the jabbed (maybe once) but un-boosted column. Aptly labeled ‘seemed like a good idea at the time”. Hindsight is always done with near-perfect vision.

      • Anthea September 21, 2022 at 5:43 am #

        I’ve seen very few instances of someone dying or having an adverse reaction to the vaxxes, and most these instances are ones I’ve heard about second-hand: somebody from church, somebody’s neighbor up in the city. One of my old friends got skin cancer on his scalp, but, as he has long been immune-compromised, this was not unexpected.

        Maybe most people in this part of the country got shots that were duds–not properly refrigerated or something–or maybe it’s because a low percentage of people took the vax–though I know of no health issues among any of a large family of in-laws who were all vaccinated. Or it could just be that some of the vaccinated people I know really are having health issues and they’re not telling me.

        On the other hand, I hear MANY stories of people having adverse reactions because of contact with people who were recently vaccinated.

    ‘Ultimately, the Left will choke to death on its many crimes and we can return to being a people who confidently know the difference between right and wrong.’ JHK

    I hope so Jim. For most of Trump’s term, Hannity had a continuous dialog about Democratic misdeeds on a daily basis, with guests like Sarah Carter, Devin Nunes, John Solomon, Jay Sekulow and many others saying that these perpetraitors would soon be brought to justice and made to pay for their treason. What happened? Eventually, the scales of justice moved a femtometer, and one named Kevin Clinesmith got probation for his offense. Trump’s DOJ (supposedly) could bring no one to trial.

    We know what the DOJ is like under the Democrats and some Trump supporters like Mike Lindell are paying the price for that support even outside of their jurisdiction, Mike is being sued for defamation by Smartmatic USA Corp. How will actions like these and all of the FBI raids be perceived by the voters?

    We now have a country full of huddled and muddled masses, a society burning with anomie. Hard to tell which way the jelly will roll.

    Apropos of nothing specific, I watched this year’s Alternative View conference a couple of weeks ago (organised by UKC). There was a talk which I only heard a day or two ago by Mark Steele, on the subject of 5th gen. warfare, 5G and so on. If anyone’s interested, you can apparently play havoc with facial recognition systems by wearing common-or-garden reflective sunglasses. Simple and handy to know.

    alternativeview.co.uk/#clip=c7ogom2vlrwc&time=129

    You’d have to pay £2.50 to listen to him (access for 7 days) or alternatively £15 for the whole conference. Very interesting but somewhat scary stuff about 5G. Beware very strong geordie accent for those who aren’t good with strong English accents.

    • GreenAlba September 20, 2022 at 10:30 am #

      Since the facial recognition technology is also toxic, the sunglasses also protect you to some degree.

        For the vaxxed, I recall that Todd Callender said you can disable the nano-transmitters with Chlorine Dioxide. I also read somewhere else that they only function for about a year (but I’m not sure about my memory on that one), hence the need to keep boosting people.

        It’s very crowded down this rabbit hole … Redneck, whatever you do, don’t take the Chlorine Dioxide. It’s probably toxic, unlike that yummy graphene and nano-bits.

            Treatments for Vaccine Recipients

            Dr. Shoemaker: [Ivermectin is] the only medicine that helps you fight if you’ve got a vaccine injury. It’s the key to a vaccine injury protocol. It’s time. It’s time. This is over because the science is strong. The science is huge, that ivermectin is the thing that should always be available. But now that we’ve created this crisis, we need it even more. We need it even more in Canada, in everywhere.

            Dr. Shoemaker: I want I ivermectin available for everybody. I don’t want you to have to go to the veterinary clinic or the veterinary store to get some of this medicine. It has to be made perfectly and ethically legal in all of your pharmacies.

            Dr. Trozzi: For the treatment protocols, if like [Dr. Shoemaker], if you’ve had a couple of those injections or one of those injections and you got these spike proteins being produced by yourselves, go to the World Council for Health, go to the Spike Protein Detox Guide. Dr. Shoemaker is aware of that. The FLCCC do a great job [and] Canada Covid Care Alliance. These are very similar protocols. There’s a variety of things you can do, both natural and medicinal, including one of the safest, most effective medications in the history of mankind – ivermectin.

            Covid Injections are Deadly

            Dr. Shoemaker: In the British study, non-vaccinated children continue to die at a low, modest, hardly noticeable rate, 10 to 14-year-olds. For the 10 to 14-year-olds that got the shot, their death rate went from 52 times more to 82 times more to now over 100 times more – that’s 10,000%. You’re 10,000% more likely to die if you’re a 10 to 14-year-old if you’re given the shot than if you don’t.
            Dr. Shoemaker: They take drugs off the market if there is a 4 and a 5% elevation in all-cause mortality. Vioxx, when it was taken off the market, was causing an overall 3, 4, 5% … So, this is astronomical compared to that! … This is not happening because there’s a GMO change in your breakfast cereal, ladies and gentlemen. This is happening because some organised cult is giving shot after shot after shot to parents and now to their children. That’s why death rates are increasing so massively.

            Dr. Trozzi: We’re celebrating Denmark, like, slowing down on their eugenics program and saying, “okay, we killed them. You know, we’ve damaged enough of the kids.” But like you said, this thing’s just got to be shut down. And the best way to shut it down, people, just don’t let anybody stick a needle in you.

            Dr. Shoemaker: [If] we’ve had two shots. Sadly, accidentally, or just through coercion. Do as I did stop it, too. Do not take the third. Do not take the fourth. If you’ve had four, for goodness’ sake, I’m so glad that you’ve survived to this point. But if you think you’ll be surviving more than five more years if you take two more shots, you won’t. There’s nobody who will live more than seven years who gets seven shots. Like, literally nobody.

            Dr. Shoemaker: We know that they’re not successful vaccines. They make it more likely for you to get Covid. So, by definition, it’s a useless piece of crap. If it was a vaccine, it’s not good for the purpose. It makes you more likely to get Covid. And it makes them more likely to get other diseases, and it makes it more likely that you’ll die two to three to four times more likely than your non-vaccinated neighbour.

            Dr. Shoemaker: Denmark aren’t idiots. They don’t want to make their children 10,000% more likely to die. Great Britain aren’t total idiots … The writing is on the wall, folks. If it’s bad for 12-year-olds and bad for 17-year-olds, it means it’s bad for 27-year-olds and bad for 37-year-olds. It’s bad for the 42-year-old doctors dying in Mississauga, age 38, age 42, dying in the week after they get their fourth shot into their arm.”

I certainly couldn’t convince him of anything no matter what proof I had in hand, and I’m perfectly content for him to submit to any and all injections or other experimental medical interventions on offer.

          I enjoy people who have a point of view contrary to that of most on a given forum, but only when they’re able to make a real argument. Redneck’s method is just to reject information he doesn’t like by referring to it as propaganda, which is a technique but not an argument. What makes something propaganda is not that it speaks to the emotions but that it presents information that is false and uses the emotions evoked to bury the truth.

            Yes, there is. There is microscopic evidence obtained by multiple scientists around the world. And there’s a lot more to it than tracking. But there’s no point in presenting information to stupid people, so go fly a kite. Rowdypiglet is exactly right about you and your time- and energy-wasting nonsense.

            Check out the Mark Steele video on the Alternative View conference site, cited above. His background is in Directional Weapons systems and he’s been fighting 5G installation for 20 years. He won against Gateshead Council, where he lives (hence the geordie accent) and managed to prevent the Council installing their 5G system. He’s a lot cleverer than you, so worth the price of a coffee that you’d need to pay to listen to the presentation.

That makes us less stupid than the people who choose to remain stupid. There is still time for you to wake up, but you’re not going to live to be 80, I’m sorry to say. Nor am I.

          • GreenAlba September 20, 2022 at 8:28 pm #

            I’m just listening to Mark Steele’s presentation for the second time (I have 7 days’ access, which is what you’d get for the price of a coffee). I seriously recommend you listen to it. He’s an engineer. There’s stuff in there about the dangers of EVs too, especially self-drive EVs – not just their propensity to go up in flames (which can’t be put out in the normal way) but the lethal radiation emitted in their everyday use. There’s also mention (from memory) of lethal radiation from facial recognition software interfering with the functioning of the Fylingdales early warning station in Yorkshire, which is a long way from the actual facial recognition systems that are affecting it. There are scientific papers shown on all this stuff in his presentation, which I will go back and note properly for myself. You can literally kill everyone in a major city using a local 5G system – it’s a bioweapon. (And the term ‘conspiracy theory’ should be thought of as a moron-entrapment device that functions by switching your brain off.)

            Most of us have been asleep at the wheel for years. It doesn’t matter how much nonsense you have spouted on here for years. You are still recoverable. But you need to stop talking crap and taking crap.

          • Redneck Liberal September 20, 2022 at 10:43 pm #

            Chlorine Dioxide…sounds scary.

            But then I find I can buy it – retail – from a local farm supply store, if I live rurally and have rain-tank or artesian water. So, it’s the exact same stuff used to chlorinate most western town water supplies, so I guess I’m actually drinking heaps of it all day, already.

            I find the self-serving “I woke up and you didn’t” pretty sad, GA. In fact, your last sentence reflects exactly how I feel too:

            “It doesn’t matter how much nonsense you have spouted on here for years. You are still recoverable. But you need to stop talking crap and taking crap.

            “But there’s no point in presenting information to stupid people,…

            You’re absolutely correct, as I’ve known for a while…

            Here’s the thing:

            You might direct me to some obscure website (with cookies & other fun stuff running in the background) that will tell me something scary (woooo…!) and then offer to sell me the ‘solution’ to the scary problem I didn’t even know I had up till then.

            When I use a broad google (or other browser) search, all I get are mainstream media and governmental sites, offering the pretty simple & logical debunkings.

            So, then it comes down to which I choose to believe, right? If I apply Occam’s Razor, the answer is as obvious as the wart on Night Howler Monkey’s arse.

            You used to know this, back when you were stupid like me.

            Now, I’m still stupid but far from on my own, whereas you’re no longer stupid but your ‘community’ has shrunk to this fecking place and these crazy motherfeckers, who are simply egging each other on in a toxic echo-chamber.

            You (collectively, as in this ‘community’) are the victims of a clever psy-op of your own making.

            When I use a broad google (or other browser) search, all I get are mainstream media and governmental sites, offering the pretty simple & logical debunkings.”

            Like I said, a moron-entrapment device. It works exactly as well as it was planned to. You are its poster child. ‘Google’, wow. I wonder which are your favourite go-to ‘fact checks’.

            I find the self-serving “I woke up and you didn’t” pretty sad, GA.”

            That’s because you’re stupid and can’t figure out when someone is trying to help you, even when you don’t deserve help. It doesn’t serve me in anyway, just wastes my time.

            So, it’s the exact same stuff used to chlorinate most western town water supplies […]

            Er, yes, we know. As well as being able to buy it to use in an independent water supply, you can by it in tablets intented for human ingestion. I imagine it’s about dosage.

            Now, I’m still stupid but far from on my own, whereas you’re no longer stupid but your ‘community’ has shrunk to this fecking place and these crazy motherfeckers, who are simply egging each other on in a toxic echo-chamber.”

            Because the majority is always right, right? You are too funny. And too desperate. And the number of those waking up is increasing by the million. That’s why in countries like Israel, you get almost full take-up of the first vaxx rollout, but by the time you get to no. 5, it’s way, way down (was it 2% or was that somewhere else?) Fool me once … I guess you missed the Canadian comedian in the other film who was in his hospital bed saying he wouldn’t be taking no. 3. But it was too late – he died at 32.

            Now who should I listen to? The directional weapons engineer who managed to convince a court that the people of Gateshead should not be subjected to a dangerous 5G system or CFN’s own clown-troll? Hmmm … Difficult, isn’t it?

            And you still haven’t explained to us what was happening to the people in Wuhan who encountered the ‘virus’ in the street and promptly dropped dead, or why it was broadcast all over the world as the fear campaign got into gear. So, what’s your explanation?

            Recall that Wuhan is where 5G was first rolled out and that 21m people in the region got rid of their cell phones when they saw what was happening.

            Or it was just play acting? Whatever, I await your explanation for it being beamed across the world and for no subsequent explanation being beamed across the world when people didn’t drop in the streets from the ‘virus’ anywhere else. Do please Google me the explanation if you can find it.

            Ah, the melding of diverse CTs into the Great Conspiracy Theory…

            When you came back from your anxiety-induced ‘conversion’ to the bullshit of NHM et al, I thought there might still have been some hope.

            Eventually, I gave that up but was pretty sure you’d stay with the central issue (as you expressed it) of vaccines & concomitant trash, but here we are at last: the 5G craziness now…next will be Reptilian Shape-Shifters and, eventually, Q Anon.

            Your stooping to continuously calling me ‘stupid’ is curious, though. I’ll remind you that (as explained many years ago) I was well down the CT rabbit hole for about a decade (1996-2006 or so). So, I have personal experience of how crazy it is for you, as a recent convert.

            If you have a decade left, you might escape it…otherwise, you are choosing to spend the remainder of your days in this trough of negative, sad bullshit, playing with the likes of the toxic Night Howler Monkey, the harridan Mary Vogt from Boise and the hilariously naive SSL.

            “Check out the Mark Steele video on the Alternative View conference site, cited above. His background is in Directional Weapons systems and he’s been fighting 5G installation for 20 years. He won against Gateshead Council, where he lives (hence the geordie accent) and managed to prevent the Council installing their 5G system. He’s a lot cleverer than you, so worth the price of a coffee that you’d need to pay to listen to the presentation. Sorry, but you’re chipped, and they can do more with that than follow you around, chump.”

            (Sigh…) WHat a fecking grifter. Did you view the refuting video I posted yeterday (by a perfectly ordinary engineer who basically crushed your Geordie-Hero’s bullshit claims?

            How could this grifter have been “fighting 5G installation for 20 years”? the “G” refers to the technology’s generation as you no doubt know, and 5th generation technology has been in development since 2014/15. So hats off to Mr Steele to be so enthusiastically proactive!

            Then again, this map of Gatehead shows the 5G accessibility in the area (switch between providers as you wish), so I guess he had only a Pyrrhic Victory (or maybe he just made it up for the Gullibles..?)

            I don’t dispute that radio-frequency emanations are an environmental hazard of some degree or the other, but 5G is just part of the universal radio frequency spectrum. There’s nothing ‘new’ or ‘evil’ inherent in it.

            But when grifters & conmen take something perfectly ordinary and turn it into a scaremongering ‘threat’, that’s another thing entirely, and I don’t buy it.

          • GreenAlba September 23, 2022 at 5:25 am #

            There are lots of things you don’t buy. You think that covid ‘vaccines’ are ‘safe and effective’ when they’re not safe, not effective and not vaccines. You think Jacinda Ardern putting people in quarantine camps when they ‘test positive’ with a dodgy test for a disease that ‘vaccinated’ people transmit exactly as effectively as ‘unvaccinated’ people is about health. You believe ‘science’ which has been turned on its head since covid is science. You believe that it’s OK for other leaders to invite ordinary people to snitch on one another. And you can’t see totalitarianism when it’s staring you in the face. You dismiss the testimony of the ‘vaccine’ disabled and bereaved as if they were liars.

            So keep taking the quacksines. Move to right beside a 5G tower. Nobody cares. Offering a person the truth is a gift. If they don’t accept it they are entirely free to walk off a cliff of their own volition.

    Just heard an interesting theory. The mass death from the jab has been like a rolling wave at best and sometimes just a drip, drip, drip. But some people think that soon perhaps before the midterms? That the graphene oxide in the jabbed will receive remote communication to activate the chimeric parasites within the jabbed to kill off their hosts. Suddenly what seemed like a steady flow or drip will be a mass inundation of death which will upend basic order in some cases. Perhaps enough chaos to halt the elections and declare an emergency.

            He uses Google, then wonders why what come up to the top of the curated list is ‘fact checks’ and ‘debunks’.

            That’s what many mainstream ‘debunking’ articles do too. They just point and laugh. ‘These people actually believe x, y, z’. That’s it. They don’t have to do any investigation because, with brainwashed people, just pointing and laughing does the trick.

          When the hydra thing first came to light I found scientific papers from years ago from a university team who were using them to build a parallel central nervous system. Redneck is just a very frightened person. The appropriate attitude towards him is pity.

        “Do you actually BELIEVE this tripe?”

        Your problem is that you yourself have embraced the religious dogma of Statism. You believe what you are told to believe by the high priests of the medical establishment and the MSM’s Greek chorus.

        You refuse to consider objective reality, hard data, or scientific analysis that contradicts your religion.

        By the way, the Red Queen in “Alice in Wonderland” was an example of the State’s promotion of the belief in “impossible things.” Lewis Caroll was poking fun at the habit of rulers to continually disseminate bullshit–and really astonishing bullshit, at that. Rulers and governments throughout the world have been at this for millennia. But this has apparently escaped your attenion.

        • JohnAZ September 21, 2022 at 9:56 am #

          Good analysis.

          Redneck obviously has more faith in the State, than either himself or Joe Everyman.

          Why? Perhaps because his own life failure has forced his allegiance to the group of nincompoops called the State. Isn’t it easier to give your allegiance to the State than have to earn your own way? The credo of the Gimme State.

          He has loads of company as the Gimme State establishes itself globally. Perfect mentality for the Orwellian state.

            @ Redneck Liberal:

            It is my observation that liberals, almost to a man, are government employees/retirees or are employed or dependent on the government, either directly or indirectly.

            In other words, they are almost all on the payroll.

            They are by definition a bunch of losers and grifters, sucking on the government tit and living off of the productive work of others. They are bums.

            It is also fair to say that those who are not bums living off of other people are aspiring bums.

            So you have a very large group of people who, as JohnAZ says, find it “easier to give [their] allegiance to the State than have to earn [their] own way.” Most of them–and more likely all of them–are mediocrities who would have quite a hard time earning their own way.

          The issue is that “you” (collectively) have some sort of mental virus.

          Once it takes hold and distorts your view of reality, it spins out of control to the point where EVERYTHING is a ‘conspiracy’ and any information is suspect unless it’s ‘suppressed’, which is its validation.

          It’s a vortex of ‘craziness’ that’s very difficult to escape from – the first step being self-recognition of the fucked-up place you’ve arrived at.

        This administration has just beat the crap out of this economy with Covid the excuse. Just an excuse for Dem Tax and Spend. Flood the country with cheap dollars and what do you get. Surprise!! Inflation!

        Another way of looking at inflation is realizing that pump priming jobs only works to a point. The numbers coming out of the labor department are so bogus because the problem is long term unemployment which the rate does not measure. Biden brags on the number of jobs floating around and refuses to acknowledge that is exactly why inflation is so elevated.

        So now, Powell comes to the rescue. But we are going to pay with a recession.

        Wonder how many death threats he has gotten?

    • gustafson.robert.22 September 20, 2022 at 3:11 pm #

      Always one very precise reason given by media for each day’s market move. It’s just funny to me because it’s never “unprecedented money printing over this last decade raises inflation numbers and causes investor fear” or “rising concern over unweildy dependence of cryptocurrencies on the energy grid motivates a steep devaluation.”

        They created money
        Correct? Agree?
        Fine

        Now:
        Who received the money?

        Who is losing money/buying power?

        Who had the devaluation of $ offset by exponential gains in $

        Now look at what those with the offset money are doing at the expense of those who are losing?

        Well, they’re pricing them out of existence and taking what meager property they had.
        At an alarming rate.

      It really needs to be done. Lots of criticism aimed at Feds in the past moving too slow allowing inflation to run away

      Dem manipulation, some Trumpian too, have kept the interest rate too low, increasing the job market too high, yes Virginia, it can be too high, with inflation the result.

      Pray for 1% until the tide turns.

    Digital ID.

    Sounds benign. Until you learn it is in the transhumanist plans of the WEF.

    Technology connected to the body to ensure we can be identified to determine what we can and cannot access.

    We need to ensure that the entities we interact with on the digital sphere are correlated with a real person.

    These are THEIR words paraphrased.

    And right on course we have an executive order released last week in support of “biotechnology”.
    For our benefits. So that our society is not left behind in this rapidly emerging field.

    With a biotechnology director.
    Because biotech and mRNA are going to save us
    for eternity on our way to post-humanity

    The belief that we are nothing but a sum of equations that can be sussed out, uploaded and 3-D printed in the near future. Why should our mathematics be trapped in meat? (A genuine statement) This is a real endeavor.

    Well now they’ve gone and done it.

    Massacring civilians, bombing nuclear power plants, killing Russian teenagers on the border, assassinating a young woman near Moscow, torturing ethnic Russians in Ukraine and yesterday using US WMD to bomb a downtown market in Donbass.

      • Woodchuck September 21, 2022 at 9:06 pm #

        There has been a speech, and it’s bad news for the West. Eastern Ukraine gets to vote as to whether or not they wish to become a part of Russia. Once they are inside Russia’s borders, then attacks on Eastern Ukraine will be a direct attack on Russia. And the response might lead to Kiev being wiped off the map entirely and Western Ukraine reduced to stone age living conditions for a while.

        Also, Western Europe will be cut off completely from any direct access to Russian energy, and the EU will likely collapse. This winter will give us a more clear picture of what Europe’s future will be like. Without gas pressure in those pipelines coming from Russia, it won’t matter how much gas Europe has stored. They won’t be able to distribute any of it and Europe will be without heat in winter, no gas for industry, and little electricity available. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, and it will all be self inflicted due to mass insanity.

        • Paula D September 22, 2022 at 8:07 pm #

          I interpreted it differently.

          He said nothing about western Europe, except Brussels, and it wasn’t in the gas context.
          As you say, that is self-inflicted austerity and Russia can’t do anything about that.

          Stupid is as stupid does.

          I don’t think he threatened to wipe out Kiev. Maybe the 150 NATO officers in Kiev directing the attacks on Russians and Russian-Ukrainians. Those will be fair game.

          I got the impression that he was sending extra troops to protect the ethnic Russians who are being raped, tortured and murdered by the Nazis.

          But he did mention that the US/NATO assholes are threatening to use nuclear weapons and he did warn them that they should expect reprisals if they do so.
          And he said that right after he mentioned London, Wash, DC and Brussels, so I took it as meaning that the battlegrounds would no longer be limited to Ukraine, as the US prefers.

          The US wants to fight Russia to the “last Ukrainian” . That is the plan and so far Putin has gone along with it.

          He might be getting tired of that.

    Did anybody see the latest 60 minutes interview of Joe Biden, by Scott Pelley?

    It was very bizarre. Biden’s incongruous affect & weird facial expressions make him appear forced & puppet-like.

    There is also this odd and revealing part of the interview where Biden unequivocally voices his support to defend Taiwan militarily– only to have Pelley voice over the Deep State’s opinion on the matter: “It’s the government’s policy not to have a stand on US defense of Taiwan” chimes Pelley’s voice.

    It’s clear to whom is in control. Obviously not the “Biden”.

    A Swedish news agency revealed a document signed RAND Corporation, a think tank linked to the US Department of Defense, outlines a strategy for “Weakening Germany, strengthening the U.S.” It says there is an “urgent need” for an influx of resources from outside to maintain the American economy, “especially the banking system”. A key objective is to destroy the cooperation between Germany and Russia which is seen as the greatest economic and political threat to the United States. Their plan was to draw both Russia and Europe into war with a primary goal of destroying the German economy. The green parties in Europe were manipulated by American strategists and were part of the trap. The benefits of US-based companies having less competition on the world market, logistical advantages and the outflow of capital from Europe, and the US economy would benefit by $7 to $9 trillion dollars. Rand Corporation denies that the report originates from them. No comments are made regarding what parts of the report are false or what is accurate, apart from simply writing that the content is “bizarre” and that the document is “fake”.”

        Yep

        OK, now that you’re approaching the situation more objectively, what do you do to position yourself to personally benefit?

        It’s been obvious from the git go: the 50s were the highpoint of the lower classes achieving middle class living standards.

        And what did they do? Fucked like there was no tomorrow, creating the baby boom which launched a now permanent high population plateau.

        Ah, but the masters knew how to fix their wagon, and passed the immigration act back in 1965. (The brits started in the 50s, then crushed the remnant labor movement in the 70s.)

        So, we have 90 iq immigrant working materials for serf 2.0, scientists and engineers to advance the tech, and the thinking masterminds plotting it all out many years ahead.

        Are you still angry & depressed, or is there the incipient grudging respect that comes from acknowledging the superior play of an adversary?

        And if non one else can figure it out in sufficient numbers, why waste time on the clueless? I really wonder how many DS were previously naive, but eventually shrugged their shoulders and joined the winning side.

        • Soul Forensics September 21, 2022 at 2:58 pm #

          I have news for you. The Western (US, Canada, Europe, NZ, Australia) baby boom was nothing compared to the population explosion during that time among 2nd and 3rd world countries getting some of the benefits of the Green Revolution oil splooge. And population demographics clearly shows that the West has been under replacement level now for quite a while.

          It had nothing to do with the Deep State being naive, and shrugging their shoulders while “joining the winning side”. They simply realized that the West’s needed immigration importation (to keep economic growth going) wouldn’t do the trick, and that resources were gonna run out for everybody.

          Once again, your historical deductions are out to lunch.

        • Woodchuck September 21, 2022 at 8:52 pm #

          I’m an old fart and remember the 50’s very well. Yeah, the war was over and the women in the USA were tired of working in the war industry. While their boyz were off to war, women were doing factory work in assembling weapons. Some were running cranes, others were welding etc. And after the war was over, few of them wished to remain in those positions. Instead, they wanted a traditional domestic home life, enjoying themselves and their families and taking care of house and children. They had no desire to let others raise their children while they remain in the workforce. Mom was home and dad went to work. The 50’s were prosperous enough so mom didn’t have to go to work.

          I couldn’t have been a better time to be a child. Helicopter parenting hadn’t arrived yet and kids were free to run around on their own in the neighborhood and be self directed. Kids were creating their own entertainment and were traveling about on their own on two wheels. Moms in the neighborhood were at home. They might not know exactly just where their kids were at any moment, but they knew that there were other moms at home keeping an eye on things, and these moms were all in touch with eachother via phone. We organized our own ball games on vacant lots, we didn’t need or want adult supervision.

          Today’s children are treated like prisoners and cannot have a moment’s peace without some asshole clueless adult hovering around them and interferring. That’s why today’s generations are both crazy and clueless.

      Something just occurred to me reading your post. Don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. There are loads of student flats near me, with more being built all the time (They also get rented out to visitors during Festival time when the students mostly aren’t there). I keep wondering out loud how they can possibly keep needing so many student flats, but maybe the long-term plan isn’t to fill them with students?

          It must be happening all over the western world; this uncrowded place, with plenty of farms, orchards, meadows, and wood lots, is beginning to look like Queens; yes, massive apartment blocks springing up in the middle of cornfields and wood lots. I think most of them are being built with state money, part of the equity in housing program. Why should pathological behavior be confined to the cities? No, spread it around, let the rubes in small towns and rural areas experience the innumerable joys of diversity too. This is not to mention subdivisions of McMansions overtaking more precious land — suburban McMansions where as many as 50 South Asians have been found packed into.

            My simple theory is that much of the overpriced hastily built apartment complexes are for White flight refugees from urban areas being inundated with Hispanic and African and Muslim legal and illegal immigrants. After a few years they’ll go for home purchases if they’re still working. Near open borders are a great stimulus for real estate interests.

            @ Paula D:

            I think you have it figured right; just speculation, largely using tax money.

            If you’ve ever had some contact or involvement in city government, one of the first things you notice is that a huge chunk of municipal government’s revenues are spent on construction contracts.

            Many years ago (late 70s), I worked briefly for the city of Kansas City, Missouri. At the time, the city was funding the construction of a huge convention center. What they didn’t spend money on was picking up the trash, fixing the streets, apprehending criminals, or putting in proper traffic control.

            Also during the 70s, there was a court order forcing the State of Missouri to spend most of its school-tax dollars on the Kansas City Missouri School District, for the purpose of integrating the district. Most of the money was spent on construction contracts to build huge new schools with lavish facilities like indoor swimming pools.

            Government loves them some construction contracts. It’s the most efficient way to transfer huge amounts of money into the pockets of wealthy cronies, who in turn fund the politicians’ election campaigns–and who will, in due time, provide the politicians who support these programs with a nice no-show private-sector job with a fat salary.

          An artificial ecological state was created here and in the San Joachin Valley of California where irrigation made agriculture feasible. Currently, increases in population in the cities is diverting H2O from the farms. It is reaching a breaking point as Lake Mead and the rest of the Colorado River is showing.

          Not a good choice either.

          Stop the snow birds from immigrating and settling permanently or stop growing food.

I don’t know about the tiny houses, but I’d vastly prefer a tiny house in a great community that is self-sufficient than those rabbit hutch barracks. That is for sure.

    Paula D…good memory. I also saw Osterholm interviewed by Joe Rogan in March 2020. Interesting stuff, and 2 fertile minds, for sure. What makes you think he works for Biden? Maybe he’s an independent thinker who only calls balls and strikes as he sees them. Too many armchair umpires on this blog who are content to sit in the catbird seat throwing stones.

    For the Redneck Dope, a PubMed paper entitled ‘Evidence for a connection between coronavirus disease-19 and exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless communications including 5G.’

    /pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34778597/

    Another impossible thing for you to believe (or not) before breakfast.

    I just happened to look that one up from Mark Steele’s presentation while I was watching it. There were others. Radiation causes flu-like symptoms including headache and fever. If it’s severe enough, it kills you.

    It seems to be impossible for you to contemplate that some of these peope who know about things you don’t know about are just cleverer than you.

          From that article:

          “Relevance for patients: In short, WCR has become a ubiquitous environmental stressor that we propose may have contributed to adverse health outcomes of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and increased the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we recommend that all people, particularly those suffering from SARS-CoV-2 infection, reduce their exposure to WCR as much as reasonably achievable until further research better clarifies the systemic health effects associated with chronic WCR exposure.

          I wouldn’t argue that (non-nuclear) ‘radiation’ may not have a health effect. “Chronic WCR exposure” is hardly a new thing, though wifi & cellular networks have grown significantly in recent decades, but…

          Where’s the bit about the 5G network having been set up specifically to ‘activate’ the ‘graphene’ in the ‘vaccines’ that you have been quite vociferous about upthread??

            And, if you can cope with your brain being triggered by intelligent people with a religious turn of mind, you can listen to the ex-military Attorney, Todd Callender, who can fill you in on a whole lot that you need to know, like the potential legal status of a person who’s been genetically modified (it’s in the patents).

            trunews.com/stream/todd-callender-genetic-altering-vaccines-could-nullify-human-rights

            I could have picked a different interview with Todd Callender, but I just happened to listen to this one this evening (it’s from way back in February) because Mark Steele used a clip from it in his presentation, since some of it is on the same topic as he’s covering. There’s heaps on 5G in there for you – you don’t need my input.

            So, do me a favour and leave me out of it once you’ve either acquired some information or just spent an hour sniggering like a teenager.

        Thank you Alba! RL appears to believe that information is going to be provided to us by our beneficent overlords in nicely wrapped gift boxes with beautiful satin bows. The problem is that their gift boxes are likely to be empty or perhaps filled with rocks or sticks, or maybe with a phone or tablet to keep us distracted. Certainly they will not make it easy for anyone to arrive at the actual truth.

        I find it interesting that RL believes the world is so black and white with authorities always acting in a magnanimous and honest way.

        Redneck’s brain slammed shut the moment you brought up some real data. Remember the Leftist brain is closed to rationality. You can prove that the Dems are meeting with the WEF to give the power of DC to them and all the Leftists would hold a rally to celebrate following the Lemming Leaders.

        BTW, GA, how about some of your feelings about the ascent of Charles3 and his affect on you and the rest of GB. First question, Brexit, his feelings and can he do anything about it?

        • GreenAlba September 21, 2022 at 11:41 am #

          I think Brexit has been made an irrelevance. If I were voting now, I’d vote for Brexit, but I said on here from the start that all we’d get is another facet of globalism, which is exactly what has happened. So, for instance, we had to come out of the EMA (European Medicines Agency), which I thought at the time was a bit suicidal, but the powers that be in the UK weren’t worried because they’re fashioning the UK (with support from Bill Gates) as a hub for the new genomic medicine future.

          There’s a bit of bickering (maybe just for theatre, for all I know) between the EU and Brexit Britain, but they’re all part of the same agenda. What I think I’ve learned, of course, is that the British deep state is up there at the top of the pyramid, running things for the people behind the curtain that we see even less clearly than the deep state.

          Yesterday I ordered John Coleman’s ‘Committee of 300’ book, the Committee of 300 being described in Wiki and elsewhere (naturally) as a conspiracy theory. The Queen was at the head of the Committee of 300, and now it’s Charles. I think the days of the supposedly constitutional monarchy even pretending to stay out of politics (and I think it was just a pretence) are over with the advent of Charles.

    • GreenAlba September 21, 2022 at 10:02 am #

      I think it was on the basis of that stupidity and not knowing the difference between the Baltic and the Black Sea that made the WEF look at Truss and the vacant PM job and say ‘she’ll do fine’.

      • JohnAZ September 21, 2022 at 10:22 am #

          I think they’re all on the same side. Truss and Charles, despite whatever theatrical machinations they come up with, will be a double act. Charles the Turd has ‘WEF’ written all the way through him, like Blackpool rock. Truss is a vessel with a mouth and a nasty sadistic streak.

            I wonder, is Charles willing to give GB’s autonomy to the WEF? Any of it?

            Do people really believe that the WEF has a clue about Covid, climate change or anything else?

            Do people believe that the WEF is a benign benevolent group ready to help humanity as it faces the greatest technical and social transformation in history.

            If so, they are suckers. The WEF is a bunch of bloodsucking power creatures that want control of the world for their own self aggrandizement.

            Wars are going to be fought, near future, to set up the next human organization. They will be global versus national interest wars. They will be have vs. Have not wars. They will be middle class vs. proletariat wars.

            IMHO, the feudal state will be the result as there will be little human participation in resource provision. As JHK has said, the Long Emergency will be a conversion to local and agrarian.

  77. mitchellc September 21, 2022 at 10:24 am #

    I’ve asked before, but is there at least any (grudging) respect for what’s been/is being accomplished?

    If we put aside our biases, and objectively consider the situation, we (normals) are faced with the same ultimate challenge: how to maintain the human project.

    Would you not agree on limits, given the utter irresponsibility of prior generations to absolutely blow through doG’s one time gift of stored solar energy?

    With less people and less available energy, how are humans to be managed, and to what end is their purpose, if the cycle of their natural instincts of eating, fucking & sleeping is to be broken?

    Now does replacement make sense, now does trans humanism make sense, now do bio digital controls over consumption, Movement, and behaviour make sense?

    Those with living memories of the past are not the targets; rather it’s the newest and yet to be born. Another 60 something neighbor passed away – gone, his place swallowed down the memory hole.

    It’s been a tough slog trying to get people focused on the broad issues. Still quite a bit of back biting, resistance, emotional over reactions (a sure sign of immature self centered entitlement), but its evident awareness is setting in.

    I’m stoked JAZ gets it – that mofo made one fast journey from GOP rube to full fledged zen fellow. Once you’re in the jet stream, the whole pageant is perfectly obvious.

    All the distracting subsidiary issues fall away, whether covid, Ukraine, agw, open borders to now be considered within the whole context of what’s actually goin’ down.

      One simple rule of the world

      Wherever, whenever there is a power vacuum in the world, someone will try to fill it.

      One thing though that is a fact. The end of the world of power, energy provided by oil is about over.

      A New World Order will happen in response.

      The only question is, which set of scum bags are going to run the show?

      As far as I can tell, there is very little difference between the two sides any more.

      Power, Evil, is in transition right now. I am watching Biden talk to the UN right now. Not a clue about what is coming,

      “No country should use energy as a weapon”.

      Who put on sanctions here? Who pushed the corrupt USA led Ukraine to go into NATO? Who kept playing chicken with Russia? Who impeached a president to block the incrimination of the Mob in the corruption of Ukraine?

        “One simple rule of the world

        Wherever, whenever there is a power vacuum in the world, someone will try to fill it.”

        Yes, very true. Let’s take a look at a part of the world I’m somewhat familiar with due to family origins, Bavaria. This region of Germany did just fine during the centuries it was ruled by the House of Wittelsbach. There was no power vacuum because Bavaria was ruled by a monarchy, and the machinery of government was locked away from access by street thugs and psychopaths.

        After the fall of the monarchy after WWI, then and only then did a real “power vacuum” occur. The communists and nazis were fighting in the streets trying to get control of Bavaria while this vacuum was in force. Eventually the nazis won, and a giant bloodbath known as WWII was on the way.

        It seems that today the Germans are eagerly looking forward to another baptism in blood and a return to the very same primitive third world living conditions they were enjoying during the latter stages of the war and then for some years after war’s end. This time there won’t be a Marshall Plan in place to rebuild Germany unless Russia decides to step in and help them after the end of WW Three. The USA will be bankrupt and impotent by that time. We can only hope that Russia places strict conditions on rebuilding Germany. First, all migrants go back home. Second, whatever leftists/EU supporters left remaining in the country by that time are sterilized so they cannot reproduce, and all the garbage they’ve been publishing for all these years is destroyed and removed from whatever is left of their educational system. Something like that – I doubt if the Russians would be willing to help Europe unless they had some assurance that no more attacks will be coming from the West in the long term future.

        Very likely, the beginning of the end of modern Europe will be starting this winter. After a few years of no energy and no food, there will be no EU, no NATO, and all those national boundaries will be redrawn. Europe will be a dying beast hiding in its cave, licking its wounds and a threat to nobody.

        Capitalism vs. feudalism

        Jarek I will take the former in a heartbeat.

        You totalitarian streak sounds like Redneck, the government is a better decision maker than people and the market.

        Government will always be the poorest way to do business due to its inherent greed, power and corruption.

          • Woodchuck September 21, 2022 at 7:57 pm #

            A lot of historians don’t seem to understand feudalism because they have an axe to grind with the Church and have been brainwashed with Jacobin ideas.

            Sure, it wasn’t an ideal setup and had problems, but it was the best that could be done at the time. In old school traditional feudalism, monarchies had temporal power over secular issues, and the Pope had authority over everthing else. The Pope was at the very top of the pyramid, not the emperors or kings. And the power of the Church acted as a restraint on blood letting and evil behavior. Without those restraints on absolute power, the feudal system might not have lasted as long. The system did have a near thousand year lifespan of managing Europe rather successfully. You can see the essence of feudal culture expressed in those old magnificent cathedrals. In the old days, the tallest building in a European city was usually always a church with it’s soaring steeples and towers reaching to the sky. Go visit the Vatican sometime as a tourist. No matter what you think about Christianity, this building will literally take your breath away and you’ll see in front of you something that required a near super human amount of skill, knowledge, and dedication to create.

          I’ll modify what you just wrote and suggest that an **elected** government will always be the “poorest way to do business due to its inherent greed, power, and corruption.”

          That’s because when you hold elections, the psychos are always there at the head of the line, running for an elected position and always dreaming of someday holding the top position. The elected psychos have no desire to better their country or help their neighbors. Because they are psychopaths they cannot tell the truth nor can they really act on the behalf of anyone outside of themselves. They cannot successfully manage a country long term because they do not own their country in the first place as a monarchy does. They have no incentive to work for something or contribute to something that isn’t theirs in the first place. The psychopath only has very short term goals, and when they take over your land, it won’t be long until everything fails and the republic is just another historical memory.

It just made me smirk and roll my eyes like I haven’t heard that a million times lol. How about I’m resistant and emotional because you are being very reptilian and scary in some ways.

      So, now that I have put that to the side I can say that yes. You will get what you want. I am impressed by the cunning and subversive nature of the elite and how they have successfully for the most part planned all of this and fooled us. I don’t know how you manage people to get them to do things they are not supposed to do. When rules are made you are supposed to follow rules. Perhaps you should be selecting your serfs based on who has a more rule based and compliant personality. Believe it or not in Muslim societies they usually have to have Christians as their servants and slaves because they obey orders whereas fellow Muslims are untrustworthy. Anyhoo.

      So our main conversation is not about living within restricted limits huh. Well ok but I still don’t like the current elite’s way of doing things. We need a new elite that is moral and ethical and very lofty but very powerful too and relatable to even a peasant. A respectable elite that is genuinely concerned is going to be more obeisance than an elite that everyone knows just despises them and doesn’t even have time and all that.

So its just speculation as to who did it. I actually used to be in that part of town more often several years back and drove down that part of Government St where she was killed and it was really sketchy then. The usual suspects could be involved because there and the areas just north of there are quite rundown. And it’s definitely not the place to be late at night. She wasn’t from Baton Rouge and honestly its a ways from campus so I am of the theory that it was the wrong place to be at the wrong time.

      “full fledged zen fellow”.

      Mygawd. For someone who puffs himself up like a pouter pigeon with every post, you sure are clueless with entire areas of study, including historically and (here) spiritually.

      Zen adepts aren’t and weren’t serene and Olympian. That’s the constant cultural misunderstanding which simply displays ignorance on the topic. Those experienced and knowledgeable, with intelligent discrimination, aren’t “beyond” anger or depression. Their accomplishment — if we can call it that — is that they can recognize it for what it is, and then move on. It’s clinging to passing emotions that’s the problem.

      Which is ironic, because for all your Olympian, above-it-all, putative equanimity, you’re a hypocrite. You complain incessantly about the complainers.

      Anyone who ISN’T occasionally pissed off and/or depressed by the present and (certainly) future … er, challenges all of us face is either naive or lacks common, understandable human characteristics.

      And, no, transhumanism doesn’t “make sense”. There are an infinite number of ways to power down without resorting to permanently destroying humans on a biochemical and moral level.

      @ mitchellc:

      “to what end is their purpose, if the cycle of their natural instincts of eating, fucking & sleeping is to be broken?”

      You’ve just provided a concise definitiopn of biological life: life eats, reproduces, and often undergoes dormant periods. This is true of the bunny rabbits, the roses, the apple trees, the elk, the grass, the human–pretty much the works.

      That certainly is a terrible indictment of humans and other life forms–that they engage in the biological activities that are typical of living things.

      Transhumanism makes sense if you have a settled hatred for life.

      How to maintain the human project? Actually it’s going along just fine. We are a highly successful species. But of course you’re beefing about that, too, because one of the indicators of a successful species is that it can maintain large populations.

      In nature, in every instance in which an animal population overpasses it resources–population overshoot–nature takes care of that. If we have indeed overpassed our resources, a bunch of us will suffer die-off. The ones who die off will be those who populations have overpassed their resources. (There are many places where no such problem exists in the first place.) Populations will decline until things are back in balance.

      I see no need to kill people off in anticipation of an expected future die-off. The logic here seems to be, “We’re all gonna die! So we should kill as many people as possible so they won’t die”

    Well, ladies and germs;

    The Situational Awareness, this AM describes, in their low intensity listing, this troubling bit of information;

    DEFEND THE FOREST’ CONTINUES VEHICULAR ARSON: Environmentalist group Defend the Forest recently took credit for a weeks-old fire that decommissioned an excavator. No pictures or videos were attached to the post. The activists promised that “any time a machine comes anywhere near the forest, expect fire [three fire emojis] m***** f*****s.” (AC: Activists in the Atlanta Forest maintain a low level of activity with spikes of violence and vandalism. – J.V.)

    It appears that the activists are becoming more sophisticated, using codes and cyphers to transmit information amonst the loyal. Government agents are stumped at the full meaning of the cryptic…”m***** f*****s.”, and have enlisted the NSA and their super computers to try to break the code and perhaps prevent the next outrage…

    …fingers crossed….

    • BackRowHeckler September 21, 2022 at 12:52 pm #

      Another group of True Believers are vandalizing trucks that transport milk by drilling holes into tires — tires that cost several thousand dollars each to replace.

      NSA, FBI, Homeland Security are busy searching the land for White Supremacists — the Nations biggest threat — so I doubt if they’ll have much time, or inclination, to track down eco terrorists. Indeed, those Federal Agencies under Biden might feel some sympathy for eco terrorists.

          I disagree, gus.

          These eco-terrorists seem to be almost exclusively composed of entitled Woke Whites (with rich parents) who’ve been brainwashed by their patriarchal studies instructors. These latter actively advocate for institutional destruction (buildings, statues, railway lines, energy pipelines).

            It becomes, for me, a situation of pots and kettles calling each other black, Soul.

            The people who are psychologically equipped to take serious, positive action (the right) are refusing to acknowledge any ecological, energy-source, or overpopulation/endless-growth problems.

            So, the people who are psychologically equipped to be hysterical if anything’s unstable (the left) are, predictably, wailing and kvetching like monkeys to the power of ten.

Very likely, those of them that survive will be doing agricultural stoop labor or some other similar jobs that require little training and little skill.

    I think the most interesting aspect about Ukraine is that it pits 3 countries that have never lost a war – to the extent of the armed forces surrending in total, the land being occupied, and the government reordered.

    Now, consider this conflict in being played not only on one’s home turf (for instance, consider our advantage if it was MX), but also factor in the traditional weather advantage that determined the last 2 major conflicts.

    Like a chess match, we can see the multiple steps to the mid game playing out in logical fashion: the referendi will confer national status on the new republics, strengthening Russia’s defense position.

    The energy picture is very clear as well; any long game assessment would logically conclude an untenable position precipitating an early resignation and withdrawal from the match.

    Honestly, unless we really have something quite clever up our sleeve, I’m beginning to wonder how we will prevail.

    So, back to my opening remark – the US has nothing similar in terms of history, culture or reference point in actually enduring deprivation and hardship. (The UK might have once possessed those traits, but they are long past.)

    I wonder if the DS really game played this out to the extent that each of their low likelihood outcomes have conspired to fail in a cumulative total. Is anyone holding their dick wondering, now what?

        I have a Facebook account. I try to stay off of it because it’s a bore and a data-hog, but it is occasionally handy. Facebook Marketplace is a good place to bargain shop and find things like firewood and cheap houses for sale. (I have a friend who is looking.)

        But for the past couple of years, most of my Facebook feed consists of people I know who are running home businesses, who are posting to promote their business. So it’s useful for them.

    The elites are more or less content with the status quo. The global masses are today’s serfs, and corporate feudalism is what we have now. A return to a kind of medieval feudalism could occur around or after the time of the Die Centennial, following the brutal chaos that will then take place with corporate connections to the public being completely severed and world populations imploding. Neo feudalism is well intact now.

    The Die Centennial is coming. Proven oil reserves at best go fifty years out, and the stresses and strains of dwindling supplies will exert themselves well before then. Currently, the Yellow Peril, China, imports most of its oil. Just think of all the fragile interdependencies.

    It would be a good thing if only somehow, we could painlessly eradicate the populations of China, India, SE Asia, Africa, Mexico, Central America, Columbia and Venezuela, to name just a few. 🙂 The religious nuts should be pleased, these faithfully departed having achieved their resplendent heavenly repose that much sooner. The alternative is billions of agonizing deaths in the not-too-distant future. Sometimes you must be cruel to be kind.

    Some say that life is a disease of matter, but I say that conjecture should be more narrowly confined to ‘intelligent’ life. But then again, why have a Universe in the first place if it can’t be well perceived and at least partially understood?

    So, is it only your way or the highway or my way or the highway? No, it’s also the ‘Hemingway’, a robustly real and simple way flowing along with the cold, clear streams of Earth and cascading over waterfalls of life and death. “The Sun Also Rises” will be reread first. Then, “Death in the Afternoon”?

    And I will soon watch the stars at Chaco. The bill comes due. Great pain and suffering are on the way.

      Russia isn’t about to experience another invasion from the West that kills tens of millions of her citizens. She will fight with the same resolve that she had fighting the Nazis. They’ve not forgotten what happened to them some 70 years ago. If y’all want to take Russia down, go for it – but you will be signing your own death warrant in the process.

      Apparently there are a lot of people in the West who are tired of living and wish to end it all. My suggestion is why not just do this in the privacy of your own homes and leave some of the rest of us who still enjoy living out of this? There’s a very painless way to do this while gasoline is still available. Lock yourselves in your garages with a running motor vehicle inside. It will be a painless death and a lot less messy and destructive than having a nuclear war. Think of the environment……..

      Putin does appear to be taking off the gloves.

      The fact is, Russia will not lose — and as Putin indicated in a speech yesterday — will do whatever it takes to win. Until now this has been an inflated border skirmish, but as we move into fall expect it to get a whole lot nastier on both sides. Ukraine may destroy the Crimean bridge for instance, and Russia responds by leveling Kiev.

          History rhymes all right, TS, but like a dirty limerick.

          I am reminded of the enthusiasm-gradually-fading military adventure in Southeast Asia, and how my generation was facing the possibility of being drafted to go die in somebody else’s jungle, for Brown & Root (LBJ’s sugar daddy).

          Apart from college exemptions (for the elite, pretty much) there were few options to present to draft boards. No red-blooded American was going to say “I’m a queer so count me out”; that kind of frankness was still in the future.

          More than a few fellas were moving to Canada or other parts, but there were enough dumb hicks, unemployed blacks and white trash to fill the ranks.

          I have always found the phenomenon of fragging a curious aberration. Did it happen in WW II? Apparently, but extremely rarely, and only on the Allied side. Someone told Gunter Grass about the hatred of grunts for ambitious career-polishing officers ready to sacrifice them in useless attacks, and he responded by saying (I paraphrase) “Don’t tell anyone, but we loved our officers”.

          As ever, Quora provides interesting insight into the phenomenon: “In all ten of 28 soldiers arrested in Vietnam who were tried for fragging a superior officer were convicted of murder. Time served ranged from 10 months to 30 years, with mean average of 9 years. Nearly all were drunk or high when they committed their crimes.”

          In the current context I’d not be surprised to learn that the unwilling Ukrainians are the ones bumping off reckless officers.

        I think late 2023 an American led NATO invasion of eastern Ukraine is in the cards to take back Crimea and the Donbass and maybe a short foray into Russia to help topple Putin after the NATO forces smash up the Russian armed forces, which they are very capable of doing. The Democrats will pull a replay of the Iraq invasion in 2003 right before a general election to help the incumbent president in power. I can see the neo-cons pushing this on the mendacious power crazed Democrats. I hope I’m big time wrong, because it’s doable with this country’s media and clueless body politic. They’ll fall for anything.

          The way this winter is shaping up I’m not so sure. Check out global climate news via a site called “electroverse”. Greenland snow mass is gaining very rapidly, and there has been record breaking cold in the Southern Hemisphere. Various places in Europe and Russia are already experiencing unusually cold weather. They just posted this a few days ago, typical news – “Monte Rosa, Italy Logs Earliest Sub -20C (-4F) Ever; UK Sees Rare September Snow; Brisbane’s Coldest Winter On Record; Polar Cold Not Done With Australia Just Yet”

          A very bad winter in Europe with all its gas supply cut off and no electricity could kill unknown millions of people there. By late 2023 there might be such chaos in the NATO countries that people will be begging and pleading for gas and telling Putin that he can have anything he wants including their daughters if he’ll only turn the gas back on. That no way in hell will people in Europe be willing to line up for a second go at freezing to death with malfunctioning plumbing and maybe pooping in buckets. Not only will they be freezing but they’ll be out of work and possibly enduring all sorts of shortages in basic things like toilet paper. Europe will tire of this rather quickly, too many of them are pussies used to comfortable living and safety.

    Well, well.

    .75% increase on the base rate. Everyone want to see what the Democrats have done to this country, just wait. Those of us who made it through the seventies and eighties know what is coming. Big difference though, no Reagan coming with tax cuts to save the day from the rate increases. Powell forecasted at least two more rate hikes. The fixes for run away inflation are not in the Liberal playbook, so you will see no help from DC on this turn of the inflation wheel from the Dems. The WH saying they are doing all they can to help with inflation is the truth. They have nothing else to offer.

    I saw this AM that 17 states are going to give welfare checks out calling them inflation relief checks.

    Even the phony unemployment number from the labor department is going to take a hit. Hope everyone has been saving for the rainy day, because a thunderstorm is coming.

    Market down another 500, oil down $2, watch Zillow decline quickly now. All indicators of a good sized recession coming. Watch Europe when the oil and gas reserves disappear and Russia keeps the westbound pipes closed.

    Biden, and his Mob, is responsible for every damn thing that is tearing the West apart right now. Even Ukraine. Remember Glen Beck’s chalkboard on the corruption of Ukraine, Biden was the center of it.

          Certainly Jonestown was a near – clinical test case of what you can accomplish when you —

          — put people under extreme stress.

          — take away their options.

          I have no doubt that whether Jonestown was a CIA operation or not ,

          those Evil folks at CIA have keenly studied it for tips on how to royally fuck people.

          Anyway , People’s Temple , yes , was originally a church ,

          and while a few 70 or 80 year Olds in their senility still perceived it as a Church by the time Jonestown rolled around ,

          By the time Jonestown rolled around your typical People’s Temple member was the usual WOKE / LGBT crowd we have come to know so well in the years since.

          Be that as it may , I believe former People’s Temple members when they assert that Jonestown was a mass murder ,

          Not a mass suicide.

          The available choices that day were ;

          — take the poison

          — get shot

          — wait for the U.S. Army / FBI to show up and shoot you. ( or so they had reasonable grounds to believe. )

      It never really made a lot of sense to me. If the Nazis were the worst people on the planet then why were German scientists brought here after WW2? Basically the impression I get is that the narrative was something along the lines of they had a great debt for being wicked scientists and repaid the debt by working to advance the US war machine which gave them moral credits or moral redemption.

        If the German rocket guys and their left over rockets had gone to Russia instead of the US, we’d have lost the space race before it even began. Russia would have possessed still secret and very advanced rocket technology and the USA wouldn’t have had a clue as to where to even begin in constructing a large liquid fueled rocket. It took the Germans a good number of years to finally get something like the V2 ready for production, that didn’t happen overnight. The US would have had to spend years getting something up and running, and by that time the Soviets would have been buzzing around the moon and sending probes to Mars.

    ” I think late 2023 an American led NATO invasion of eastern Ukraine is in the cards to take back Crimea and the Donbass and maybe a short foray into Russia to help topple Putin after the NATO forces smash up the Russian armed forces, which they are very capable of doing. ”

    The average American seems to be completely unaware that in World War 2 a whooping two thirds of German forces were in Russia , and the remainder were split between two frounts , not one.

    To cut to the chase , Russia won the war in Europe , not the United States.

    I say that not because I’m very much pro – Russian , I am , but because it is a simple fact no one who knows Jack about military history or military science disputes.

    And in the Pacific ; SAME BASIC STORY.

    Two – thirds of Japanese forces were committed to China and Manchuria , and could not be withdrawn.

    Japan basically fought the United States with its leftovers.

    If the two wars in Iraq are counted as one war , that was a lost war ,

    Even given that the Iraqi army was commanded by political appointees , and was using stripped down , heavily discounted , Russian equipment.

    ( pro tip ; if someone claims to know anything about Russian equipment, but isn’t familiar with the term , ” Monkey model ” , you have been fed a line of shit )

    Vietnam was a loss.

    Korea has so far been stalmated 50 years.

    Long story short , save aborigines with spears , and countries the size of football fields ,

    The United States has NOT won a major war since 1865.

    As for the Washington crowd ;

    Personally I really , really , really HOPE they believe their own movies and TV commercials!

        and pursued , ” America First ” policies , instead of passing money away on foriegh adventures , it was the greatest country on earth.

    I don-t necessarily buy the whole story that all the flights are booked and the people are rushing to the exits . Just like I don’t buy that a call up of 300k reservists means that Russia is reeling from all that Ukrainian resistance. It honestly seems like misdirection and hopium.

    To me, and im the furthest person away from understanding the mechanisms of these things it seems as if Russia is about to deliver the knockout punch. The Donbas is about to fall. Russia is going to capture Kharkiv. And Ukraine will be unable to retake Kherson. They haven’t negotiated to this point and personally I don’t think their fanaticism will fade. So eventually even Kiev won’t be safe. But what do I know. Well for sure, the media in the US is lying about the situation. That I know for a fact.

    • PeteAtomic September 22, 2022 at 8:15 am #

      “It honestly seems like misdirection and hopium.”

      Yep, I agree. Very accurate description.

      The upwards of 60 billion USD & NATO emptying their arsenals has prolonged this war. The SMO could have been avoided. The US killed the Ukrainian diplomatic efforts early on.

      There are 4 Russian war aims.
      1) Demilitarization: this is the destruction of the Ukrainian military as a threat to Russia and the DPR and LPR
      2) Denazification: this is the elimination of the Hitlerites and Stepan Bandera followers as a political/military force in Ukraine.
      3) The recognition of Crimea as Russian territory.
      4) The recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics.

      The ‘new’ Ukrainian NATO army is being used as the US as a proxy to fight Russia. The Zelensky regime is under a false belief that it will retake all its lost territory, including Crimea. The Ukrainian military is increasingly relying on foreign mercenaries, including Academi (formerly Blackwater)

      Winter is coming. The Ukrainian army is ill prepared for it. It has only half the winter gear it needs. Russia can and may destroy the electrical grid in Ukraine, shutting off the heat. Europe has no fuel to give Ukraine.

      Russia has just activated 300K reserves. After some refresher courses and retraining, these men will be ready. So, we are talking December, if not earlier.

      Russia has plenty of ammunition, plenty of fuel, and plenty of equipment.

      I predict by the Spring next year, Kharkov & Odessa will be in Russian hands once again (where they belong), and the Poles will have taken Galicia.

      • benr September 22, 2022 at 8:30 am #

        I agree with most of what you said except…well.

        We have seen a lot of the Russian equipment suffering from a lack of even basic upkeep and maintenance.
        Entire convoys of equipment with tires shredded and equipment breaking down.

        • SoftStarLight September 22, 2022 at 1:07 pm #

          WeIl I don’t really know either way but I have heard that Russia can produce a lot more ammunition than the US or NATO countries can because the US and NATO countries have closed down most industrial production of anything over a long time. Also, Russia can lean on China for supplies as well as other countries like India. It looks like the Western alliance is becoming isolated on the world stage on this matter and probably on everything at this point.

      @ SoftStarLight:

      I don’t know if I by it or not, but I have heard stories of how a lot of people emigrated from Russia to the US back in 1904, to avoid being drafted into the Russian army at the start of the Russo-Japanese war. At that time, at least, it was not much fun serving in the Russian army. Also, I have been told that Russia got its ass kicked in that one–another indication that serving at that time would have been a bad deal.

    ‘To cut to the chase , Russia won the war in Europe , not the United States.

    I say that not because I’m very much pro – Russian , I am , but because it is a simple fact no one who knows Jack about military history or military science disputes’.

    Very much pro-Russian, so why don’t you move there? Because you are more pro America than pro Russia?

    Except for Britain, Europeans say that the US was most influential in helping to win the war. You glibly diminish the US effort and don’t even mention the number of American casualties.

    You can find much more of the following in the historical record:

    ‘While most see the United States as having played the crucial role in vanquishing Adolf Hitler, the British, according to polling data released this week, see themselves as having played the biggest part in the war effort — although they acknowledge that the Nazis would not have been overcome without the Soviet Union bleeding Germany’s Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front.

    US credited

    In contrast, Americans, Germans and the French believe the U.S. war effort ultimately was the most significant contribution in achieving victory in Europe, according to a survey conducted by British pollster YouGov. Recent polls conducted in Russia, however, show Russians are convinced they’re the ones deserving the main credit for Hitler’s defeat — a reflection, possibly, of the huge death toll the country suffered in the war.

    An estimated 25 million to 31 million Russians were killed in the conflict — 16 million of them civilians, and more than 8 million from the Red Army. Russians also point to the fact that Soviet forces killed more German soldiers than their Western counterparts, accounting for 76 percent of Germany’s military dead.

    Some military historians say death tolls and the number of casualties shouldn’t be seen as reflecting necessarily what was crucial in the defeat of the Nazis. The Allied victory was more complicated than the heroic sacrifice of Soviet soldiers. Historian Anthony Beevor told Britain’s The Times newspaper that Stalin was more callous than Western leaders, who tried to minimize casualties.

    “The Red Army dispatched militiamen into attacks without any weapons and basically expected them to stop Panzer divisions with their own bodies,” he said. “They were suffering a 42 percent fatal casualty rate. They just threw away a quarter of a million lives.” Others say Western attitudes toward the Soviet Union are colored by the fact that Stalin concluded a nonaggression pact with Hitler in 1939 that was instrumental in allowing the Nazi leader to unleash a world war, before turning his attention to Russia.

    The U.S. mobilized about the same number of troops as Russia but fought on more major front lines — not only in Europe but also in the Pacific and North Africa. American war production — its ability to churn out astounding numbers of bombers, tanks and warships — was possibly the key war-winning factor, say some historians, who point out American factories produced more airplanes than all of the other major war powers combined.

    US supplies

    And without U.S. supplies, the Soviet war effort would have been massively diminished. America supplied Stalin with 400,000 trucks, 2,000 locomotives, more than 10,000 rail rolling stock and billions of dollars’ worth of warplanes, tanks, food and clothing. At the same time, the U.S. also supplied nearly a quarter of Britain’s munitions.

    “We were lucky to have America as an ally,” Russian historian Anatoly Razumov told VOA recently. He said American technology and supplies formed the base of Russia’s war effort. “And we want to close our eyes to that. It’s shameful! Sometimes I talk to ordinary people who don’t want to understand. We were together during the war. How would it be if we hadn’t had this help? It was not a victory of just one country over Hitler. It was a victory of the whole world over him.”

    Your analyses are all too often amateurishly shallow and not only disparaging, but inaccurately disparaging.

      Let get real the true vanquisher of Nazi Germany on the eastern front was the harsh winters and brutal spring defrost and most importantly antifreeze.
      Russians fought with limited weaponry and lost millions of people they just had to bog down the German attacks and let winter take over.
      Germany gets cold but Russian is another level of cold all together.

        I was driving down Clairmont Mesa near 805 and watched a lady having a heated discussion with a light pole. So I asked her if she was winning the argument.
        She responded she did not know and for just a second the crazy went out of her eyes.
        So, I tossed her a water, and responded well get back to it and good luck.
        She was mid-forties and not all together disheveled and filthy like so many of them. Sad

            That’s not the point. The point is basically you are just saying murder people who are homeless. Even though there are many houses, apartments, and office/store buildings that are empty that could easily be repurposed for housing. There also needs to be something for these people to do to be productive within society. There is a lot to think about. But that would take a real society and culture.

Like Jarek said many of those sorts of people may just be too far gone for a path of rehabilitation. It’s one thing to be homeless at no good choice of one’s own and another to choose to live a homeless lifestyle full of criminality.

          People whom I find convincing in their knowledge and understanding of homeless people in the USA state that for some large percentage of these poor souls, this is basically a mental health mess.

          Fentanyl for sure doesn’t improve the situation.

          Many people were turned out of mental institutions and into the “community” and they have ended up on the streets.

          I sure don’t know how people can be kindly institutionalized—for starters we do not have trained staff to deal with them. But leaving on the streets is also not a “solution.”

          However, trained case workers should be able to distinguish between those who are on the streets because they really have lost their homes and now live out of a car or in a tent or some such and those who are suffering from mental illness, and part of their illness is their refusal or inability to accept any practical help.

    After the Red Army’s victory at Stalingrad on Feb, 1, 1943, within hours reels of video depicting columns of defeated German soldiers marching into captivity, wrecked equipment, Generals Von Paulus & Schmidt under interrogation and signing surrender documents … were on airplanes, in a very short time viewed in Moscow, DC, London & Los Angeles. The reason I mention that long ago battle is I find it curious I haven’t been able to find any video of Ukraine’s glorious battlefield successes in Donbass from 2 weeks ago. Posters here claim that some film does exist on obscure sites, but I haven’t been able to locate any. Apparently there are no reporters at the front; yet with every soldier and his brother in possession of a cell phone, you’d think there would be tons of video … of Russians surrendering en masse and grateful Ukrainian citizens standing on the side of the road waving flags and presenting bouquets to Ukrainian Soldiers. The war news we get seems to come from the Propaganda Bureau in Kiev. Yet every legacy news organization in the US, Germany and the UK are claiming Russians are getting their asses kicked. In the Atlantic there was even an article claiming Russian surrender is imminent, and the International Court at the Hague should begin planning war crimes trials.

    • BackRowHeckler September 22, 2022 at 11:56 am #

      Another curious thing is NATOs claim that Russia has 80,000 KIA since February, (reported as fact by the media) 40,000 more than the US suffered in 3 years of war in Korea, and 20,000 more than 10 years in Viet Nam. Even on the Western Front in WW1 the US lost fewer than 52,000 KIA. Russia has admitted to losing about 5700 soldiers, so far. Considering the nature of the fighting in Eastern Ukraine, what seems more realistic, 80,000 killed, or 5700?

      I get the impression we are not getting an honest picture of events in Ukraine by our American, British or German media. Why would that be?

    George Washington on selfish businessmen:

    It gives me very sincere pleasure to find that there is likely to be a coalition of the Whigs in your State (a few only excepted) and that the Assembly of it, are so well disposed to second your endeavors in bringing those murderers of our cause—the Monopolizers—forestallers—& Engrossers—to condign punishment. It is much to be lamented that each State, long ’ere this, has not hunted them down as the pests of Society, & the greatest enemies we have, to the happiness of America. I would to God that one of the most attrocious in each State was hung in Gibbets, up on a gallows five times as high as the one prepared by Haman4—No punishment, in my opinion, is too great for the Man, who can build “his greatness upon his Country’s ruin.”

    Jarek: Thus the “freedom” so lauded by the John Azes of the world is revealed as simple criminality, which needs to be rooted out and crushed with the utmost severity.

      I agree with George Washington as well. I may be extreme though because given everything we have seen I really question if corporations should be allowed to exist. Or maybe at least the multinationals that by their nature are not going to be concerned about any country.

      • Jarek September 22, 2022 at 2:20 pm #

        Meditate on the word, “extreme”. Compared to what? There is Truth and then there is error. Go too far to the right and you’re driving off the road. Too far to the left and you’re going into traffic going the other way.

        If you are in the middle of your lane, you are in Truth – and that’s “extreme” to people who want you dead.

        By playing around with words (which have real consequences), they’ve all but killed America. In the mind of Washington, America was for Whites and he implored us to mind their own business and avoid foreign wars. That was the Mandate. Those were the Parameters. We’ve broken all of them.

        • SoftStarLight September 22, 2022 at 3:09 pm #

          It is also a good reminder about how important words and language generally are actually. I do need to meditate more too. Probably another problem here is that people don’t even know what lane they are supposed to be in. I imagine that may be intentional? Too many chiefs and not enough Indians and all. The Karens believe they are traffic controllers.

          They were chartered by the states, not the federal government, which is the same today.
          Joe Biden’s state Delaware made themselves popular by selling off unlimited corporate charters.

          Originally corporate charters were limited in time as well as scope, as BRH points out. ( Like patents and copyrights still are, at least by law. The corporations are working on overthrowing that also. That’s why they spout so much bullshit about ”intellectual property”.)

          Usually 5 to 20 years, depending on the project.
          The charter could be pulled at any time for bad behavior.

          What we have now is big money gone wild. Nothing to do with the original purposes of corporations.

    $250 million Covid Relief scam uncovered in Minneapolis, 49 arrests, including 47 Somalis. Some of the Somalis held high positions in Mayor Frey’s administration.

    As it turns out not all the schwag was squandered on baubles and trinkets as one might expect, or like BLM grifters, on fine houses in white neighborhoods. No, these Somalis made real estate investments in Kenya & Turkey. These are long term investors, thinking of the future.

    Well, CFN’rs;

    Big doings going on in Mother Russia, as reported by the Stiuational Awareness site this AM:

    RUSSIA ON LOCKDOWN: Russian officials have locked down borders and established police cordons following the implementation of immediate conscription. One-way flights from Russia to non-extradition states and regional neighbors that don’t require visas immediately sold out minutes after Putin’s announcement. The rise of ticket sales precluded an order from Russia’s Defense ministry banning all ticket sales to Russian men aged 18- 65. Police and border guards have reportedly established cordons to search vehicles in further efforts to detect and prevent men from fleeing the country. – R.P.

    It has been recommended* that those up to the age of 65 begin stretching and limbering exercises, so that, when the time comes, they can bend over and grab their ankles without discomfort…

      I think like and dislike are a plain shitty way of trying to arrive at the truth ,

      and resumes actually aren’t much better either.

      As I said recently, as a basic rule ;

      The LESS or no money a commentator makes , the more reliable their story tends to be ,

      The MORE money a commentator makes , the less reliable their story tends to be.

      Finally I would say that commentators are scarcely even relevant , at all.

      What does ordinary experience tell you ?

      What do the most basic reasonably known facts tell you ?

      Ugh , I’m getting into deep epistemological stuff , and I’m not that eloquent.

      So , anyway ,

      In the dictionary under , ” prurient / morbid interest ” there should be a picture of me.

      I can draw a detailed map of an Aktion Reinhardt extermination camp from memory ,

      I look at serial killer crime scene photos ,

      and I have no good reason to do so.

      In the same way , I can only roll my eyes at soooo much material devoted to the Nazis ,

      When , when it comes to sociopathic genocidal fun and games , the Soviets make the Nazis look like child amateurs.

      As a bonus , I have a slight personal connection to the subject ;

      The Group of Soviet Forces in East Germany was far and away the largest deployment of Russian forces outside Russia itself in history.

      Reminders of Russian might were ubiquitous in East Germany , and you could scarcely walk a mile in East Germany without rubbing elbows with Russian troops.

      Indeed , I might say East Germany was less a puppet of the Russians , more like one bilingual body .

      So , how do I know things have never been better in Russia ?

      Even when autocracy was the world’s norm , Russia was a caricature of Tyranny.

      As for the Soviets , well , it is hard to beat East Asian totalitarian culture , the Chinese and North Koreans.

      But , save that , when looking at Soviet history it really seems reasonable to exclaim , ” How could it possibly be worse ? ! “

        As a kid, what was your impression of those Russian soldiers? I know you left there at the age of 10.

          I hear they used to have a saying in Russia ,

          ” Thank God we aren’t Germans ! ” ( otherwise our totalitarian system would be utterly unbareable. )

          In my view , Americans , at least up until recently, were actually less like the Brits , a lot more like the Russians.

          Indeed , perhaps THAT is the fundamental problem ;

          The Russians and Americans are too much alike ?

          It seems to me , for example , that the ideologies and systems of both are really atrocious.

          MitchellC is right , if I understand him correctly, the American Revolution was mendacious hypocrisy. The United States was always predatory.

          The Bolshevik Revolution was a coup orchestrated by serial killer / Mafia types.

          What is endearing about both is what they are typically ridiculed for ;

          Hard – drinking , chain – smoking , simple , lazy , stupidly generous Russians.

          Gun – toting , four – wheeling , Protestant work ethic , simple , cheeseburger and Coca Cola Americans.

            It seems to me that in simple terms , the two great tragic ironies of our age were ;

            — the Germans and the British should have been friends.

            — the Americans and Russians should have been friends.

            It strikes me as so stupid sometimes I actually cry about it.

            Good, heartfelt answer to my question.

            Thanks.

            ” The United States was always predatory”

            Kesa,
            I believe that most of the population of the United States was, and probably still is…human.

            I believe, and history will concur, that ALL humans are predatory, more some than others, but given the option and the power….

            Civilization allows those who think othewise the luxury of existence and assembly, but it is a luxury provided at the sufferance of others.

            …Smoke ’em if you got ’em….

      Actually, I’m not hearing a lot of propaganda coming out of Russia. Putin speaks in a measured way, without bombast, choosing his words carefully. Even the RT website is pretty balanced, with maybe 1/5 stories slanted toward Russia.

        According to the anonymous powers that be on the internet,

        The Saker Blog is your garden variety White Supremacist anti – Semitic website.

        Yet one of the stars of the Saker Blog is Pepe Escobar , who , for example , just posted an essay the gist of which is ;

        White people have been royally fucking Africa for a hundred years.

        And that seems about typical for Escobar , it seems to me.

        Then you have Gonzalo Lira , native of Pinochet Chile , but who talks like he learned English from the same school Jeff Lebowski attended.

        Andrei Martovsky seems as wedded to profanity as I am.

        On the contrary , the Saker Blog strikes me at least superficially as deviant Hippie website.

        Are these guys working for High Times magazine ?

          Most blogs are not fonts of guaranteed truth. One just has to form one’s own opinion. There are always going to be some off-the-wall contributors and commenters. But the Saker blog does make a lot of info much more accessible (such as important speeches with translations).

          I certainly learned a lot from the Saker blog, starting in about 2014. For instance, the connection between the provocations in Syria and Ukraine.

          I had no idea that there was a strong and influential Ukrainian Banderista fifth column in Canada. This was discussed at length at the Saker blog years ago. It seemed far-fetched but turns out to be true.

          I also like the contributions of Jorge Vilches, on the nuts and bolts of the effed-up fossil fuel situation in Europe. Some weeks ago he explained in detail what happens to the Schwedt refinery if the supply of piped-in Russian Ural blend is cut off. You might like to read some of his analyses.

          REgarding the apparent takedown of the German economy and RAND document, I received this from my Moscow correspondent:

          “Privyet,

          A possible reason for dismantling the German economy is that the U.S. does not want to weaken its political control over Germany. A partial loss of such control took place in the 1970’s, which was a non-successful period for the U.S. in the sense that its economy suffered from high inflation that transformed into stagflation. To some extent, the economic difficulties in the West at that time caused a convergence of Germany with the USSR.

          “One of the reasons for tightening control over Germany now is the expectation of a new bad period that will come. Germany will not have other options rather than being a vassal of the U.S under a very strong political and economic dependence.
          A more radical strategic goal underlying dismantling both European and US economies is a creative destruction on the global level. Artificially created global chaos can help remove global imbalances such as debt burdens, asset bubbles, abolish social mandates of the state such as medicare, and clean the place for building a completely new global economy for the “fourth industrial revolution”.”

            I don’t believe the Rand document is genuine.

            The defense of it “It has bad grammar and bad spelling because the US educational system is bad” is lame. There are still people who can spell and use grammar in the US.

            But Michael Hudson, who is also featured by The Saker, has been saying that the US is aiming to trample Germany down for months now.

            The whole “We will shut down NS2 if Russia invades” line they spouted for all those months before they managed to provoke Russia into actually invading Ukraine should be telling, to anyone with common sense.
            You don’t need a fake Rand document to know that.

            As Lord Ishmay, first Gen Sec. of NATO, said many decades ago, “The purpose of NATO is to keep the US in, Russia out and Germany down”.

            Who you gonna believe about the purpose of NATO? The liars who run the US who tell you it is to keep the USSR from invading Germany? When the USSR disssolved 31 years ago?

            Or Lord Ishmay, who nailed it decades ago?

          • GreenAlba September 23, 2022 at 4:58 am #

            The Rand document was described as fake news on UKC yesterday – they’d already advised caution against believing it earlier, apparently.

            The ‘other side’ love putting out stuff like that, then saying ‘the people who believe this also believe there’s a plot behind the ‘vaccines’. Same with the fake nurse story in Romania or wherever, who had allegedly noted vaxx batches with nos. 1, 2 and 3 on them.

          Lira spent most of his time in the States, which is patently obvious by listening to him. He has an air of grifter about him.

    When is the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library going to open? Should contain lotso interesting documents, even considering all those already confiscated by the DOJ. I’m especially interested in Donny’s reading list (every President is required to have one, you know…thems the rules). Should be a dandy.

    Off to listen to Jimbo’s latest Clustercast. Toodleloo.

    Another speech another embarrassment.

    Biden gets lost walking off stage after UN speech
    Joe Biden, 79, faced yet another public embarrassment Wednesday evening when he appeared to get lost while walking off stage following his remarks at the Global Fund Conference. As applause ensued, President Biden began walking off the stage before abruptly stopping in his tracks and looking around with an appearance of confusion on his face. -Daily Mail

    Time to get the old theatre hook out and get this guy off the world stage enough is enough.
