In an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier last Tuesday, FBI Director Chris Wray said, “The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan.” Like so much else in America’s tortured, distractible life these days, the meaning larded into that utterance went clear over the collective heads of just about everybody.
What was the key part of that statement? “For quite some time now….” Gee, really? Like, how long? One year? More than that? Maybe since March 2020? And you didn’t say anything, Mr. FBI Director? You didn’t do a thing to dispel the Covid-19 miasma of confusion that swaddled Washington DC like a smallpox blanket of yore? The question of where the novel coronavirus came from has been a ferocious national controversy since late 2019, you understand. Several government agencies, including the CIA and all the offices under the gigantic National Institutes of Health (NIH) – including the NIAID run for decades by Dr. Anthony Fauci — plus the FDA and CDC, tucked into the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)… all of these outfits have pretended to not know the true origin of Covid-19 for over three years. And the FBI Director, who could have shed some authoritative light on the matter by stepping up to a podium and weighing in, just let all that chaos roll?
And by-the-by, let’s not forget that the whole time Chris Wray knew with moderate certainty that Covid-19 came from the Wuhan virology lab, he was in charge of a battalion of FBI agents assigned to managing Twitter, Facebook, and Google — that is, the apps that comprise the digital Public Square — to make sure that anyone who opined about Covid coming from the Wuhan lab got censored, banished, cancelled, reputationally destroyed.
So, why did Mr. Wray make this statement on Tuesday… “The FBI has for quite some time now assessed…” Probably we’re hearing the old Modified Limited Hangout strategy, a venerable ruse, which is when a criminally culpable government throws the public a bone of admission about something that is common knowledge anyway — the thing everybody knows — while pretending that they were in on the common knowledge all along — which just adds another layer of perfidy to the giant matrix of lies laid down by US agency officials in this disgraceful episode of US history.
What Mr. Wray left out of his statement this week is any hint that a gang of US scientists and doctors under Dr. Fauci were directly and intimately involved in the activities at Wuhan that produced the virus that killed millions around the world, and led to the warp speed production of a “vaccine” mere weeks after the organism appeared — which will probably end up killing and maiming more people than the disease itself.
It happened also this past week that a team of distinguished medical warriors including Drs. Martin Makary of Johns Hopkins, Martin Kulldorff of Harvard, and Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford testified before the opening session of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. Dr. Makary began his remarks stating boldly: “The greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been the United States government….”
…. Misinformation that…
- Covid was spread through surface transmission
- That vaccinated immunity was far greater than natural immunity
- That masks were effective. Now we have the definitive Cochrane review. What do you do with that review? Cochrane is the most authoritative evidence body in all of medicine and has been for decades. Do you just ignore it and not talk about it?
- That myocarditis was more common after the infection than after the vaccine. Not true, it is 4-28 times more common after the vaccine.
- That young people benefit from a booster, misinformation. Our two top experts on vaccines quit the FDA in protest over this particular issue, pushing boosters in young, healthy people. The data was never there. That’s why the CDC never disclosed hospitalization rates among boosted Americans under the age of 50.
- That vaccine mandates would increase vaccination rates. A George Mason University study shows that it didn’t. It did one thing, it created “Never-Vaxxers” who are now not getting the childhood vaccines they need to get.
“Over and over again, we’ve seen something that goes far beyond using your best judgment with the information at hand. We’ve seen something that is unforgivable, and that is the weaponization of medical research itself. The CDC putting out their own shoddy studies, like their own study on natural immunity looking at one state for two months, when they had data for years on all 50 states. Why did they only report that one sliver of data? Why did the salami slice the entire database? Because it gave them the result they wanted.
The same with the masking studies. The data has now caught up in giant systematic reviews, and public health officials were intellectually dishonest. They lied to the American people.”
This week, Edward Dowd, the former BlackRock trader-turned-Covid-statistician — and author of the new book Cause Unknown — released preliminary fourth quarter 2022 “excess deaths” numbers for group life insurance death claims compiled by the International Society of Actuaries (SOA).
For the age group up to age 44 excess deaths rose above the baseline (normal): 13 percent in October, 21 percent in November, and 43 percent in December. For the age group 45 to 64, the death rate above baseline rose 4 percent in October, 16 percent in November, and 35 percent in December. Mr. Dowd says that he is told the rates moving into the first quarter of 2023 are higher still. This is what’s known as a trend, and a pretty ominous one.
It boils down to an awful lot of people in the prime of life dying off, and more every month. Nobody in any of the US public health agencies is talking about this. One very prominent official, Rochelle Walensky, head of the CDC, is still busy arranging to dispense more Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines to America’s school-children — the “vaccines” being the prime suspects causing those stunning excess death rates among the young and employed demographic. Nice work, Rochelle!
How do the approximately 70 percent of vaxxed-up Americans deal with this reality? Many, of course, are noticing vaxxed family members, friends, colleagues, sports figures, acquaintances getting sick and dying of sudden heart failure, strokes, aggressive cancers, strange neurological problems, and other mystifying syndromes. The aggregate reaction so far seems to be a numb despair. But then, the still-living vaxxed also have to contend with the anxiety over what is going on in their own bodies. Perhaps they’ve heard whispers from the more extreme voices on the margins of this discussion that every single person who got vaxxed might be subject to an early death one way or another. That’d be a reason to withdraw into the first stage of the Kübler-Ross Transect of Grief, which is denial… and just hunker down there… for now. It’s an awful lot to contend with.
What’s next then? Consider that around 30 percent of Americans are not vaxxed, and are free of the anxiety that they are designated goners — notwithstanding the basic limits of the human condition. That 30 percent of Americans, and perhaps even some of the 70 percent vaxxed, will possibly be concerned with the other enormous threats to our national life: the insane Ukraine project, which looks like the overture to World War Three (no thank you); and the collapsing US economy, with features such as unaffordable food and fuel, scarcity of parts for fixing anything that’s broken, and a pretty good chance that retirement accounts will be wiped out in a coming equity-and-bond market “correction.”
All of which is to ask: when will the people of this land finally get pissed-off at the managers who are running everything? And when will the people start to express their new-found rage? I’ll make a wild-hair guess. By May, when the weather really starts lightening up, the people will be out in the streets looking to smash anything that appears to represent authority. Welcome to the season of real chaos and crisis, possibly many seasons, maybe years. Take great care of yourselves and your situations. Prepare if you can. How does it feel…to be on your own? the bard sang sixty years ago. We’ll soon find out.

Here’s a possible error:
” it created “Never-Vaxxers” who are now not getting the childhood vaccines they need to get.”
What makes you think that the evildoers are not putting mRNA poisons into ALL kiddy vaccines???
In there desperation to kill the multitudes… they are trying to put into food animals!
The egomaniacs in the mRNA R&D development group convinced DC that the Vaxx was not dangerous. Today, they are pushing hard to get the flu shot into a combination mRNA with Covid.
Will anyone announce a flu shot change to mRNA, or polio, or measles, etc, etc?
I don’t know why anybody trusted the CDC or any other “public health authorities” after the dress rehearsal where they decided that, “you know what? We need everybody to get a flu shot in order to achieve herd immunity.”\
That right there was a big lie, which anybody who knows what herd immunity is, knew.
Then there is the matter of referring to people as herd animals, which we are not.
THEN they decided to force the shots on anybody who worked in a hospital, and tried coercive behavior such as forcing the non-compliant into useless face masks as punishment.
This was actually very popular with some of the public, believe it or not.
Nurses were winning cases against the mask, as it was well-known that it would prevent transmission of the flu even if a nurse had the flu.
This was as late as 2015.
Masks started to magically work in 2020.
Is the CDC public or private? Is anything really public anymore since the Government works for the Corporations and Banks?
None dare call it Plutocracy.
After the January 6th events in D.C. which ended up with thousands of Americans being rounded up by the FBI and questioned plus the hundreds who have been languishing in solitary confinement for over two years with no charges and no “speedy trials” and no evidence sharing, I don’t see average Americans doing squat because they fear losing their freedom, property, jobs and being canceled out of existence.
Now that the truthful outcome of elections is in serious question even THAT avenue of protest has been handled. Not to mention the total stranglehold Congress and the DS has on candidates who seem inspiring but then get quickly sucked in to the system.
AOC was all about Medicare for All and “creating a ruckus” until Nancy sat her down and read her “The Riot Act”.
I figure it all comes down to power and money once a true Patriot lands in Congress. I guess every man and woman DOES have a price.
Most Americans just don’t have the balls to confront the PTB. Life is short.
I guess every man and woman DOES have a price.

Baron Trump fund
Ivanka Fund
Kushner Fund
10’s of billions of USD
or
Clinton Fund $20 billion USD in Qatar/Dubai held in Euros
Chelsea Fund
Even Musk said the only reason Trump wants a 2nd term is so he can give his family & himself Amnesty;
During COVID-TRUMP, he got FED-RES to release $2 Trillion USD to fight COVID, some $1T was cut into 1,000 Billion dollar parcels to 5-6 leaders in every country on earth, to buy COVID loyalty so that the entire world would dance to COVID lockdowns; Ergo Barron Trump funds …
The other Trilllion went to MSM, & big-pharma and politicians,
So you had this 100% love world wide of all things COVID
Are there any good humans on earth? I have never seen one;
I remember the mask punishment thing also.
Part of Obamacare was to force every employee in health care to get an annual flu shot.
Just like the forced tithing mandate, they rolled it out slowly.
The actual “take it or you’re fired” part started in 2013, just like the “buy it or pay the IRS a fine” mandate.
Before that they tried the “take the shot or wear a mask the entire shift”, which was insane and everyone knew it. Wear a mask for 8 or 12 hours? Are you frigging nuts?
And now here we are. They have to take the flu shot AND the spike protein shot AND still wear masks the entire shift!
The country has gone insane.
In 2013 I got around it with a little help from my friends.
In 2014 they had fixed that loophole and I had to take the shot. A month later I got sick with the worst flu of my life. Although I have only had the flu a few times in my life, that was the worst.
In 2015 I flat out refused and they fired me.
At lunch with my ex-co-workers last year I pointed out that I was ahead of my time, and they nodded in agreement. They all had to take the shot.
One of my favorite ex-co-workers died last Wednesday and another one the week before and another one late last year.
It’s the stupefaction factor, Paula. The willful ignorance as the product of deftly applied propaganda = the U.S. consciousness.
The Owners have judged their manipulation a success.
Reminding me of then-Reagan Chief Spook William Casey’s famous “We’ll know we have succeeded when the American public believes every lie we tell them.”
(Or words and that policy in effect and affect.) That was the 1980s, FFS!
Us: livin’ the duality dream. Holding opposing perceptions of reality as if not actually valid, then necessarily made viable in order to survive in the resultant conflicted society of ‘Usn’s and Them’uns.’
The resultant mass neuroses afflicting western societies are self-evident.
And the Owners gloat at the powerlessness their little ‘work’ has engendered. Cats playing with mice.
Well said, Dave. Most people are too busy to think – and they like it that way. And having lived this way, they now can’t think to save their life.

” The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man.
Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal.
Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last 50 years. ”
~ R.D. Laing (likely written in the mid 1960s)
“The Hypersane Are Among Us, If Only We Are Prepared to Look”
hxxps://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-hypersane-are-among-us-if-only-we-are-prepared-to-look
The way I remember it from 1990 CIA Director Casey saying …
“Our mission will be complete when everything the USSA public believes is a LIE”
Let’s see today, nobody can tell a man from woman ( new scotus ), a man can get pregnant
war is peace
ignorance is strength
freedom is slavery
I would say Casey is ‘mission completed’
The funny thing that while EU/USSA/UK-commonwealth have gone bat-shit insane ( see above ), the Russia-China a man is a man, a woman is a woman; Gay bullshit in movies is banned, grooming is illegal, and tranny training will get you 5-7 in prison
From a historical perspective if you know that ROCKEFELLER/ROTHSCHILD/GATES ( big banking to big oil to big-pharma to big computation ) created modern china&russian gov ( stalin&mao were rockefeller men ), then in reality all has the same ownership; All that is happening is WEST is being culled, hell even AFRICA didn’t get the ‘vax’; Russia/China got a trad vax; West goes nutz, and the rest the world lives a splendid life, while USSA streets are covered in feces and liberal parasites;
As a “never-vaxxer,” myself, I’ve felt especially vindicated to have made that choice for my own kids. Most childhood vaccinations are pointless. The incidence of diphtheria and pertussis had declined steeply before the vaccines were introduced, and (if I remember right) pertussis had declined in virulence. As for tetanus, very few adults stay current with their boosters. I don’t know anyone who’s had a tetanus shot since high school, yet there is not tetanus plague. Measles, mumps, rubella, and chicken pox are mild, self-limiting childhood diseases. They are itchy rashes (very itchy) or swollen glands. I had all of them as a child, as did everyone else, and know of no ill effects.
My kids had chicken pox as children, and I found that it could be cured in 24-48 hours with echinacea. I don’t know if measles/mumps/rubella could be effectively treated with echinacea or some other simple home method, since my kids never got any of them, despite being unvaccinated.
I used to worry about my kids not having been vaccinated for polio. This was because they spent their childhood and young adulthood swimming in rivers and lakes. But…no polio.
I think unvaccinated kids are generally healthier, though I can’t prove it–and I’ve seen plenty of healthy vaccinated kids. I do think that autism is caused by vaccinations, and I suspect that there is a lot of undiagnosed autism around–that is, that because of near-universal vaccination, a high percentage of the population is made up of high-functioning autists.
I think it would be good if people began to refuse all vaccines for their children.
Duncan! A blast from the past old suburban-sprawl days…
Another hello from someone who remembers the old podcast and forum. I still have the hard copy (and Kindle version) of the “Kunstler Cast” book.
A catch up podcast would be fun to hear.
Have you ever thought about doing a catch-up podcast episode? It would be great to hear how you’re doing these days.
I greatly miss the old weekly podcasts that you did with Jim.
I concur. I used to love listening to Duncan and Jim shooting the breeze on the Kunstlercast. It was something I regularly listened to using my iPod while out taking exercise walks in the evening. So many GREAT conversations,
Life is ephemeral, ay guys? Cherish those special moments because they may never come again.
Hello Duncan! It is nice to hear from JHK’s foil.
Hey, Dunc. Nice to see your name on here. Hope all’s well. Loved you two bopping around town with the field recorder.
Lying to your face, and then turning around at some later date and saying something 180 degrees to the contrary, is SOP for psychopaths. Their delusions of grandeur convince them that they can get away with it and no one will call them out on it. And if anyone does call them out, their reaction is a torrent of abuse.
Don’t ask me how I know all this……..something about the “School of Hard Knocks”.
Hard to believe that they can get away with this 180 degree turn, but then the American public HAS been softened up in oh so many ways in preparation. Yes the assisted genocide is going to be a real problem going forward and into the next shutdown, but this is no the only problem that we are being assaulted with.
Yesterday the Redacted news feed on Rumble reported in depth on what appears to be the real agenda and the real danger in the Ukrainian debacle. Apparently, besides eliminating all opposition parties and conflicting religions and social groups, Little Napoleon, King of Ukraine is well underway in establishing his kingdom as the world’s first all digitalized nation, with vaccine passports and identification barcodes for all citizens on their cellphones along with the digitalization of all currency. The Ukrainians went as far as to present this all to the WEF at their last meeting and are now in the process of turning over all surveillance and control over to the US State Department, MSN, and Amazon who runs the servers.
It may be time to get behind the Russians with great gusto for even if they too are part of bringing about the Schwabian Control State, King Zaleinsky appears to be a lot more dangerous, at least at this point in time.
Thanks for informing me of Ukraine’s “digital nation” ambitions.
Even more reason to be “rootin’ for Putin!” Go Russia!
It has been said that the US/NATO are using the Ukraine as a testing ground for new weaponry.
Why shouldn’t “weaponry” include all types of weaponry? We know they had the biolabs there.
Why not also “civilian control” weaponry testing?
The “Team Democracy” bench is not very deep in the Ukraine.
Maybe Russian attacks on electricity infrastructure will put the kibosh on that. For a while, anyhow.
The problem is that Russia also seems to be rolling out the same “civilian control” weaponry in Russia . . . .
They seem to be going full speed ahead with that in this country, the digitization, with no pushback from any of our “leaders”.
Is there anyplace – ANY PLACE AT ALL?? – one can hear from actual Ukrainian people? I mean man in the street type stuff?? I would very much like to know what they think/feel about all this bullshit.
Zelensky has a kill list for civilians who question what he is doing. There is an official website. Journalists like Chris Hedges, Roger Waters, Scott Ritter are on it. Dugan’s daughter was on it with him and after her car exploded in Russia her face and profile had a big “X” through it.
They even have a 13 year old Ukrainian girl on the list for being to anti-war mouthy.
But does the U.S. State Department demand that list be taken down? Human rights and all. No.
This is probably a good reason to keep your mouth shut in Kiev and Mariupol.
gosh
Jackson Hinkle just made the list this week.
That’s a good point; In Ukraine if you speak out, your already dead;
The list is largely worldwide people are scheduled to die, but since 2014 they have killed anybody in Ukraine who didn’t follow the script;
That’s why you only hear Woke Ukraine bullshit;
The thing is in 1931 they killed ten’s of millions in Ukraine, so tit4tat purges are in their gene-pool; The gov forced all farmers to destroy their food, people starved to death; Parents sold their children as meat at the market; Totally covered up by MSM in 1931-1932, just like now;
The fascinating thing is that the people who did the HOLOMODOR are now in power Adam-Schiff (CALIF) is a direct descendant of the Bolshevik Schiff family that ran all the genocide biz. So you have Sean-Penn there and Pelosi, and all the neo-zio/con&libs making the world ‘greater israel’; From Belarus all the way to Iran, the YINON-PLAN.
I talk to a Lady in Poltava, She hates Zelensky and she knows about Kolomoisesky etal She messaged early about Biden visit which she called correctly a PR stunt She also mention a culture split : western UA more influenced by hedonistic Europe and Catholicism emanating from Poland vs. the more traditional yet poorer and ROC influenced people in the east where she lives.
This fellow was wiped out in 2015:
“Oles Alekseevich Buzina (Ukrainian: ?????? ???????????? ???????, romanized: Oles Oleksiyovych Buzyna; 13 July 1969[1] – 16 April 2015) was a Ukrainian journalist and writer known for his criticism of Ukrainian politics and for the support of closer ties of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia.
He was found killed by a gunshot on 16 April 2015, near his residence in Kyiv. The murder case remains unsolved. . . . ”
httpX://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oles_Buzina
I remember it well–also the shock—because some of his writings were appearing at The Saker blog just at the time when a few people were starting to get a picture of what was really going down in the Ukraine and how it was related to the war in Syria. So, Buzina was someone whom I actually knew about.
Then suddenly he was gunned down.
On hindsight one can say that it was already clear what the stakes were in the Ukraine. Those who didn’t get with the Maidan program would be genocided or just simply shot in their homes.
What are the odds, that the destruction of Ukraine is part of the WEF/2030 Sustainable Development where they “Build Back Better” a model country for the NWO to emulate throughout the world?
To me, this might be plausible among the US & WEF crowd, but I find it difficult to believe that the likes of Putin and Xi would be in on it.
Agreed. The people of America are sheep. WTF are we sending all this money to the ex cabaret dancer president and NOT using it on veterans, homeless, border control or health care in America? Yet the scumbags at CNN and the NY Slimes keep telling Americans we must carry the banner for world peace even it is fruitless, corrupt and friggin dangerous.
If ‘our’ asshole in Chief can enter a treaty with The WHO that America will donate 20% of our health care supplies to distribute world wide so world equity on the health stage is led by the USA, why would we believe him on Ukraine and its importance to us? We are SOooo fucked by this administration, it’s mind boggling.
“We are SOooo fucked by this administration, it’s mind boggling.” ~ Sonny
Yep, what we allow becomes acceptable – same ol’ story.
100%.
If you want to have a chance of reaching a fact-based understanding of realty in a world afloat with sophisticated means of mind control you must start with one basic principle. “Governments and their agencies lie all the time unless proven otherwise.”
FBI Director Wray now tells us (three years later) that he has known for some time that COVID19 originated from a lab leak from the Level 4 laboratory in Wuhan China. So what is he lying about this time? What is the purpose of throwing the weight of whatever authority the FBI may still possess behind this interpretation?
1- It fits neatly into the updated propaganda theme of painting China as the New Enemy.
2- It helps divert attention from the inevitable shameful defeat in the US sponsored proxy war in the Ukraine.
3- It helps bury the presence of US sponsored bio-warfare laboratories in Ukraine.
The Alternative Hypothesis
—SARS-CoV-2 is a bio-weapon created in a lab at Ft. Detrick Maryland.using gene splicing technology.
—The goal was to exploit the higher percentage of ACII receptors in the Chinese racial genome.
—It was first tested in a public setting in the fall of 2019, using college students as subjects.
—The results showed it to be too weak for use as an effective bio-weapon, so Moderna (Bill Gates) and Pfizer were commissioned to produce a fake vaccine that would finish the job by creative mass reproductive failure and weakened natural immunity to all types of disease.
—Chinese spies working as lab assistants stole vials of the fake virus and sent them to China. The CCP freaked out by the implications of the threat and responded with extreme measures such as forced lockdowns.
—The Chinese created their own conventional vaccine which had the effect of circumventing the goal of the MRNA gene alteration clot shots, leaving the citizens of West to bear the brunt of their ruler’s satanic invention.
Or maybe it is a limited hangout. More and more people are pointing to Fort Dietrick as the source of the bioweapon, so now they are telling us “Yeah, it’s a bioweapon, but it came from Wuhan”.
That way the focus is off of Ft Dietrick. And it also feeds in nicely to the war propaganda drums now beating louder for China.
Win/win, US version.
Thors, interesting thinking.
Can anyone write a musical about this?
The word “corona” seems to lend itself to all kinds of creative imagery and inspiration.
I can’t believe how many devout followers of the DNC/Covid cult who spent the last three years calling this a dangerous conspiracy theory spread by right-wing extremists just who want to see your children die, are now saying “well this still isn’t definitive, and besides… TRUMP!”
Running, I think you mean “ruining”
Additionally time to alert Adult Protective Services or Elder Abuse to the Mrs’s of Biden, Fetterman, & a few others in both elected and SES types.
Is that a Silver or Purple alert? We may have to come up with a new color.
One sex, the “fair” one, advances by means of the other. John’s illness is just part of Giselle’s journey to self. What kind of monster would get in the way of that? Do you believe that the ugly sex has rights or something?
@ Jarek:
Actually, one sex lives in the expectation of getting lots of free pussy and is often disappointed. This causes this “something-for-nothing” brigade to harbor feelings of injustice.
Yeah make them pay – since you certainly never wanted it or enjoyed it or desired to give pleasure to a man – having never loved one…..
You really gave yourself away this time.
Point Kesa on traditional marriage just being a long term prostitution contract, at least for women of this kind.
@ Jarek:
You have no business engaging in a romantic relationship with a woman unless you are seeking to marry her and form a family–in other words, only if you have honorable intentions, AND you are a fully adult male willing to assume adult responsibilities, including financial responsibilities.
Love is not merely a sentiment. A person who does not provide for ones children can hardly claim to love them. Love must be demonstrated, and is chiefly demonstrated by working hard for the good of others and making the necessary expenditures to perform that good. Not to mention making great sacrifices for the good of others.
A sexual relationship with a woman REQUIRES this level of commitment. Your role as a husband and father is to be the provider.
You expect to have sex without responsibility. Women, quite rightly, expect you to assume a responsible, adult role. You “pay” (that is, you assume responsibility) because it is required of you as a matter of justice and honor. Providing for you family is an OBLIGATION.
People who seek to evade or deny their obligations to others are bums.
If it is your view that marriage places you under no obligations nor requires any responsibilities of you, you should not marry. And, as a matter of honor and justice, you should not seek to enjoy sexual relationships with women outside marriage.
@ Jarek:
By “paying,” what you actually mean is assuming responsibility and taking on their just obligations–growing up, being adults.
With only two other family members in my clan NOT vaccinated, I have been dreading the long-term effects of the vaccines visiting upon my kin. Well, it seems like that time may have come as a young, healthy family member is experiencing heart issues, and an older (but healthy family member) has come don with a rare cancer. Coincidence? Maybe.
Will they listen to me with regards to treatments after all their mainstream doctor’s advice and treatments don’t work? Unfortunately I doubt it. The whole denial thing JHK mentions in the article.
Perhaps they will get desperate enough to trust me. Hopefully before it is too late.
It’s very sad. In the space of 11 days in February, TWO friends of mine perished. Both mRNA vaccinated, and I blame the shots.
Person A, female, old friend from my old home 30-35 years ago. 69 years old, college athlete, remained fit (not a fitness zealot, but stayed in shape), set aside her career to raise three kids, divorce, returned to work as an occupational therapist. Needed vax to enter medical facilities to do her job (we fell out of touch, but I remember her as a kind and trusting soul, for all I know, she welcomed the chance to “protect herself and those near her”, she liked helping people, probably why she still worked at age 69). With NO prior history of anything and athletically built to the end, she simply disappeared. Eventually, police broke into her home, found her dead on the floor. No evidence of foul play.
Person B, male, 58. Ex-smoker, ex-drinker, tendinitis, not obese, but smoking cessation added weight. SKEPTIC–even more than myself on some things. So we could speak candidly about vax. Our employer pushed, but didn’t mandate, shot. I told him, “NO way I’m taking it, let them fire me”. He said, “I see your point it may not work, but it might, and I don’t want COVID. If it was bad, they all wouldn’t promote it.” I was shocked THIS person would say this. This is 2021.
2023. Late January: He told me he had developed narrowing of artery, that was new to me. He said “other issues are minor”. February: I learn he is in hospital. Cancer. Spoke with him. “..they’re giving me one year to live”. He passed 3 days later.
This is anecdotal. I know vaxxed people who are doing fine (though they DID get COVID after the shot…).
But it is criminal. And it comports with all the concerns and statistics that informed, objective people, including JHK, have been reporting.
What I see happening is that the Republican Congress will use their majority status, to direct the blame at Democrats, for GOP political gain. And that’s it. NO ONE will be held accountable, no one will be executed or go to jail or even be fined. Legally, big pharma can’t be touched. And the Faucis of the world will use the legal system to obfuscate things and evade accountability.
The Republicans after all, like the Democrats, all take money from the entities pushing the shots–big pharma, big capital.
The only difference is that a few Republicans are principled–say 5-15%. If you look, you’ll see they are not in key positions. There are no principled Democrats.
And that’s how the USS Titanic rolls.
And for good measure, they (have been manipulated into) double down on this war with Russia, which will not end well for the world in general, and especially Europe, but also the US.
And even as the USS Titanic is taking on water at an alarming rate, the government simultaneously doubling down on “green”.
Today’s vax victims are a metaphor for US society’s infrastructure tomorrow, as our electric transmission grid continues its slow decline, and much worse, as generating moves to EXPENSIVE, UNRELIABLE wind and solar, and as the supply of newer internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles shrinks (and that supply comes with vaccine-like side effects in the outyears–carbon build-up from direct fuel injection, dead batteries and starters from ‘stop start’, more and earlier engine failures from turbos) and people will have to contend with no only expensive fuel, but scarce and hyper-priced “decent” ICE cars.
Not a very positive perspective–at least not for this world, in this life.
Socrates-Detroit,
I am very sorry to hear of your two friends. That is terrible and you have my sympathy. But something you said, stuck with me:
I know vaxxed people who are doing fine (though they DID get COVID after the shot…).
How do we know that some vaxxed people are doing fine? I’ve watched videos (see Died Suddenly documentary) where CCTV captures video of people on their way to work, at work, in the park, or wherever who spin around and then keel over dead. They aren’t in the hospital. They aren’t in the waiting room at their doctor’s office because they know something is wrong. They are going about their day when they keel over and die.
I don’t think we can say that the vaxxinated are doing fine. Some of them may say so and may completely believe it. But these other folks, like athletes that suit up for a game or a match that they aren’t going to live through, thought they were fine. And they weren’t.
Time will sort all of this out, of course. The excess death rates could start falling as we get further and further from people’s date of vaxxination. We’ll see. But the assumption that so many of the vaxxinated are fine, a view I once held, is losing its sway with me.
There are probably batches that are just placebos. Or perhaps to really hide their trail, they used random number generation to vary the very batches themselves.
Ultimately every one who gets jabbed will get a hot shot. But it will never be able to be proved, at least not in time to stop the 70% who jab from being dead men walking.
Hopefully that number is coming down as people quietly wake up.
While some people are developing problems almost immediately, or dying of “sudden” relatively soon after being vaxxed, I think it will take many years to see the full picture. It will show up eventually in actuarial tables. If everyone who has been vaxxed lives five or ten years less than they would otherwise be expected to, it will become apparent gradually, over a fairly long period of time.
Deagel says the 2017 US population of 326MM will be 99MM by 2025 – a 70% reduction.
Deagel has been in the business of providing “global intelligence” for many years.
Rest assured that decisions – many more than one may realize – are being made based upon this number.
Wait for it. No, let me rephrase that – it’s happening as we speak.
And perhaps there are fast kill shots and slow kill shots. Or is it just people vary tremendously, both genetically and in lifestyle and of course age as well.
Or both factors are in play: kill shot variation and human variation.
@Ron Anselmo:
“Deagel says the 2017 US population of 326MM will be 99MM by 2025 – a 70% reduction.”
Funny how that 70% reduction corresponds exactly with the percentage of vaxxed. My my, what a coinky-dink.
You’re absolutely right Cactus Girl – it was the vax uptake target number we heard over & over & over, ad nauseum – 70%.
Deagel’s projections were precedent obviously, so the genocide pushers were driving to the 70% number.
is the death rate even across vaxed nations? rumor is Israelis in Israel got water shots.
Malthuss – not sure about death or mortality rate for Israel, but FWIW, Deagel has Israel 2017 population at 8.3MM, and a projected 2025 population of 3.982MM – so a 52% reduction in population.
The Deagel figures & population projections are very interesting across all 183 countries listed. Most are up or down a percentage point or two, which makes sense, but some are very wide-ranging to the downside. Very interesting.
The vaxxed I am referring to I know very well, and they appear they appear to be fine–for the time being. Completely unaffected. They both took the first two shots, and have told me (not to please ME, God forbid, lol) they will not take any more shots.
I sense they are vax skeptics, but they are not going to give me the satisfaction of saying “yes, you were right!”
That’s OK, I’d rather they take no more shots (and risks!).
But, I am concerned about them. Where will they be healthwise in five or ten years? As Jarek noted, I hope they got placebo shots.
I think placebo shots were, and are, very plausible. Plausible doesn’t mean it happened, of course. But given the real risks that Pfizer and Moderna KNEW ABOUT and CONCEALED, it’s possible they cranked a lot of placebos because the shots might be toxic beyond what was “acceptable”.
Not only did they still make billions in profits, but more importantly for the PTB, the shots and COVID enabled the vaccine passes and passports, a big trial run for the PTB.
You can bet, these vermin are working to “fix” the issues they came up against, for the next “crisis”.
While the West is really the aggressor using Ukraine against Russia, as the US/West elite seek to subvert Russia in order to reinforce the West’s position against China, which together with Russia are a check on Western hegemony, and while this is ultimately a situation where, as they say in Greece, “you can’t have two heads wearing one hat”, in which the Western Elite seek world domination, and by implication, subordination of the China and China’s rulers to Western (WEF/Soros/Gates/Rockefeller/Clinton/Bush etc) control, both the Western Elite and the Chinese elite (aka the Chinese Communist Party) want complete control over the people, so they are both very invested in using COVID to control the masses in their spheres of control. And the UN and WHO faithfully parrot the line to “prepare for the next pandemic” toward that end.
This is very big. God dealt with the Tower of Babel, and ultimately, He will step in and put an end to this, but it’s going to be a rough ride between now and then
Two of my children got the shots as soon as they were available. (Yeah, I failed as a mother).
Neither of them were affected at all, not even a sore arm. I’m hoping they got saline.
It seems to me that our overlords could have reasoned that people who jumped at the opportunity to get the first shots would be easy marks later for the already planned ”boosters”, but not if young people started dropping dead in the spring of 2021, so the chances are good that they put out a bunch of saline shots so that the public would say “See? No problem”.
My other child did not want the shot, but succumbed to the “You can’t go anywhere without a vax passport” in the fall of 2021. She got sick as a dog from the shot. So I think she actually got it.
So far she seems OK though. Hopefully her body managed to shut down the spike protein factories in her cells.
Paula – first of all, you didn’t fail as a mother – lots more to it than that. There are plenty of simple detox protocols out there.
I mean simple.
Glutathione is good for helping eliminate the spike proteins. Asparagus has the highest naturally occurring levels of glutathione, than any other food source.
Puree fresh raw asparagus and have the kids take two teaspoons first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach.
I’m not a doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
Thanks, Ron, but I can’t even get the one kid to take Vit D, even though she was tested and her level is incredibly low.
She tells me “I take a multi-vit that has Vit D.”
I tell her “Don’t take a multi-vit. They are worse than useless.”
But, what does Mom know, amirite?
Paula – yes, you’re right. She’s obviously a teenager – they know everything, don’t you know?
@ Paula D:
Two of my children (out of six) got at least one vaccination. One of them got the first two (no boosters). The youngest was at first determined that she would not take the jab, but she’s living in the Portland area and finally succumbed to the lure of “getting her life back.” The oldest works in health care and was a respiratory therapist throughout 2020-2021, and the propaganda was relentless. In 2022, she found other employment (tired of being worked like a rented mule) and the spell was broken. She discouraged her son from getting jabbed.
The other kids wouldn’t touch the stuff.
Time will give us more data to analyze. Placebos mixed in with real “vaxxes” will complicate this analysis for sure. Some people die quite quickly after receiving a vaxxine, that is true. Others know that they are injured soon after receiving a vaxxine.
And yet, the vast majority of folks say they feel fine after their shots.
But here’s the thing: there are folks that I’m positive got a real clot shot and felt fine until the day they died. How do I know? I’ve watched them die suddenly on video because they happened to be somewhere near a surveillance camera at that moment. Maybe they were performing on stage, maybe they were commuting to work, maybe they were playing ultimate Frisbee in the park, whatever. I’ve seen a lot of these videos. And I can tell you where these people were NOT located. They were not in the hospital. They were not at their doctor’s office. Which tells me they felt well enough to be out and about living their lives.
So when people brush off concerns about the vaxx with their, “But I’m fully vaxxed and boosted and I feel fine,” it doesn’t carry any weight with me.
Many vaxxed people felt fine until they keeled over and died. That is the point I am trying (awkwardly) to make.
Look up the work of Dr Jessica Rose. She and others documented the ‘batching’ of the shots at least a year and one half ago.
We need a little snippet of good news to cheer us up as our “leaders” drive us ever closer to the finale of WWIII.
You may recall as the “vaccines” were about to be released that there was a brief flurry of concern that the Phizer formulation is/was very sensitive to being stored at the proper below freezing temperature. Like it does with any uncomfortable fact, Pharma simply ignored the concern and it was soon steamrolled out of existence by “Warp Speed.
Recent data disclosures show that the variations in the strength and composition of different batches are huge. So if you were lucky you may have gotten a weak batch in which the spike proteins had already died, and will escape the “adverse events” that are killing your friends.
ThorsHammer, that is good news, I like that, thank you!
Also a huge number of doses were ruined by thawing, etc. Good news for those who got them.
I have lost 7 freinds and family members since Sept 2020. Rare blood cancer, stroke, pancreatic cancer and myocarditis. 3 of those were under 70.
In 3-4 years half of America will be walking down the street, if the WEF and WHO let us, with 6 inch growths on parts of our bodies and our corrupt government and media will say it’s ‘just an unfortunate by product of vaccines that saved millions..’ Move on.
sonnyL,
Sorry for your loss. The timeline would be interesting to know. Since no vaxxes were available until Dec 2020, were some of your loved ones dying of long COVID?
same boat, fren
Still in the middle of it, the process of seeing how bad it’s going to get. (“it” here meaning excess mortality)
Just how damaging were the shots? were some people lucky and not given hot ones?
In any case there’s been a lot of excess deaths and health problems in my circle too. People still clinging on to their denial, but I think they all have to know, on some level.
And then what, who is to pay? There’s literally millions of men with very little to lose, who would be willing to get some payback, but the question becomes who.
At the end of the day, the people submitted and did it voluntarily. Obviously those who knowingly purveyed bad info, should be charged with genocide, but that doesn’t include the typical dipshit newscaster, or HR person, or even low level pols. As far as the higher up, say at the level of director and up, at all the pharmaceuticals?
They absolutely have to be held to account, with charges of genocide, and that’s a capital crime.
Start with any CEO who mandated the shots and work from there.
Suburban Elk,
Check out howbadismybatch dot com. Yes, it’s a real website, though it’s clunky to use.
You select which manufacturer you want to research and it gives you the data dump of the 5,000 most toxic batches, in order of toxicity. Then you search for the batch numbers you want. Some batches have a lot of adverse reactions and there are pages of batches you can scroll through that are all 0’s.
My husband got two bad batches.
All we need now is a phony e.t. alien invasion…oh, wait !!!!
Yeah, things seems to be ballooning out of control.
DMITRY ORLOV, St. Petersburg, Russia
was interviewed on the Kunstlercast recently. Very unique viewpoints to listen to, e.g. Solzynitsen was a fraud, the Sputnik vaccine was a dead-virus type with no serious side effects. Very refreshing interview.
PARK YEONMI, a North Korean woman, recommended we arm ourselves in an interview with Michael Savage.
Yeonmi Park grew up in North Korea. Her memoir about the extreme privations endured daily by North Koreans, and her harrowing escape from North Korea, is a clarion call to all of us living in the West, regardless of where in the West we live and regardless of one’s political persuasion.
Ms. Park’s extraordinary memoir is published by Penguin Random House: “In Order To Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom.”
Those ‘extreme privations’ came about because of the U.S./UN concerted bombing which left the majority of North Korea’s buildings and dams flattened—to the point there was nothing left to bomb. (Thx, Curtis LeMay.) That’s when the plague-infested fleas were said—are said—to have been attempted.
The point being, there is much that is nuanced about the Korean conflict, beginning with the U.S. ordering Japanese troops to stay in control there and Viet Nam as well—until U.S./French/Brit troops could “officially liberate” and administer their government over the native denizens.
Ms. Park has a more recent book published: While Time Remains: A North Korean Defector’s Search for Freedom in America.
There is a recorded interview of Ms. Park on the blog for the Michael Savage Show. It begins about time mark 23:30 and continues for approximately a half hour.
Orlov must be a disgruntled old Communist type. Putin reveres Solzhenitsyn.
Merrick Garland wants revenge for the Holocaust and for not getting to be on the Supreme Court. And probably for the fall of the Temple and the sack of Jerusalem as well.
No Romans around? Well there are Roman Catholics.
I found it interesting with Wray’s disclosure the absence of culpability directed at individuals. That lead me to believe this is a key maneuver to crown China, Xi, as the next boogieman. Fauci and his clan of merry men may not be included in any of this propaganda to demonize China.
Which is ironic, or something, because Fauci and Co. are deeply complicit with China—I bet the Chinese have ton of dirt on them.
If they chose to turn it over to the “responsible authorities” in the USA.
Which the Chinese are clever enough to figure out: There are none.
I’ll say it again: Dr. Peter Breggin pointed out early on that both Biden and Fauci were deeply compromised by their ties to powerful factions within China.
@ Graham:
“That lead me to believe this is a key maneuver to crown China, Xi, as the next boogieman.”
That was my exact thought.
I agree also. That and the balloon, of course.
Somehow, Fauci will ‘skate’..Even the Republican House cannot withstand the barrage of the NY Times, WAPO and American higher education bullshit that the direction and dissemination of ‘the virus’ was an unfortunate byproduct of research..
Violent fantasy aside, the most likely response to all this will be more people simply dropping out. Going Galt started happening long before the plague but really picked under the COVID restrictions. Look for more headlines about employers being unable to find staff, at any wage.
A few people will, however, try violent reprisals against the people they hold responsible for their misery and they will be easily manipulated. Expect more J6 events, brought to you courtesy of your favourite alphabet agency
Pray for America
“Look for more headlines about employers being unable to find staff, at any wage.”
This.
We know there are problems with how the way the numbers for employment are reported. The “big” numbers of layoffs at the “Tech” firms are likely fake to make it appear that we’ve got lots of unemployed folks.
Why would we believe numbers from the “Tech” firms when we know they work hand-in-hand with government to lie to us?
It wouldn’t be this way if things were “normal” but they apparently aren’t so they have to fake the numbers to make up for the deaths.
I’m curious to see how Biden & his State Dept. react when it becomes obvious that Ukraine cannot win the war, something I suspect they have known all along. What will be the spin transmitted to their CNN & Wapo mouthpieces to mitigate the disaster for public dessimation? All along we’ve been assured Ukraine is winning. The possiblity exists we may see a formal surrender, like Paulus at Stalingrad. Putin may insist on it. $155 billion (so far) dumped down a rathole.
Most likely they’ll just ignore it, probably launching an alternative WMD (Weapon of Mass Distraction) to take it’s place, such as the long-anticipated “pivot to China.” If Ukraine truly falls, China will no doubt be implicated as part of the reason why. The Neo-Cons/Libs are nothing if not creative.
BRICS+ against the West, especially the US.
Ukraine and Taiwan are both just fulcrum points that are going to drive the US down.
The real issue is how the rest of the world sees the USA, as our prestige of being the successful purveyor of Republican democracy goes straight down the toilet.
Early reviews are certainly not good.
Considering how the rest of the world has been held hostage by the $USD Ponzi scheme for so many decades now, I think the operative word in “… as our prestige of being the successful purveyor of Republican democracy goes straight down the toilet…” is already well advanced to ‘went straight down the toilet.’
My statement is no way facetious nor hyperbolic.
Outside of the Five Eyes countries, a near 75% of the world (countries and populations,) have gotten out as far as possible to this point—of the $USD. And it will continue.
And not only that, a 500 + year paradigm of Western-controlled government, cultural, and economic systems are being repudiated, or at least modified substantially to fit the wherewithal of the East’s aspirations.
It’s ongoing, and it is now inevitable. We are witnesses to a much bigger shift than we have allowed to nest in our consciousness up to this point.
The neocons will just move on to their next pet project and forget Ukraine ever happened. Who remembers Afghanistan?
Good point. Already forgotten.
“The neocons will just move on to their next pet project and forget Ukraine ever happened.” ~ Hereward The Woke
Exactly HTW, because we continue to let them…again…and again…
But…but….Zelensky has already had big meetings with Blackrock and Vanguard to come in and finance the “re-building” of Ukraine.
And Sean Penn and his NGO “CORE” will be there too.
Cart before the horse much?
Right Abby – I’d like to see Blackrock, Vanguard and Sean Penn start in the Bakhmut cauldron first thing tomorrow morning.
and Jaimie Dimon of JP Morgan also offered to rebuild out of the goodness of his heart., but first they have to be rid of those annoying Slavs.
Right Boomer – but no way Dimon goes there in person – given the current condition of the Ukraine’s electrical grid – chances are he may not be able to blow-dry his hair.
“The possiblity exists we may see a formal surrender, like Paulus at Stalingrad. Putin may insist on it. ”
I owiuldn’t be the least little bit surprised.
Putin/Russia will not accept some kind of brokered
“agreement.” Because there are no agreement-capable counterparties.
Islander,
The Situational Awareness, this AM reports;
“The West’s refusal to consider peace negotiations until Russia withdraws from all of Ukraine appears self-defeating and risks a low-probability gambit. Should China commit to providing lethal aid to Russia, it could outproduce the current combined U.S. and NATO military-industrial capacity – potentially exhausting western nations’ resources and resulting in a non-negotiated culmination. – M.M.)”
:Non-negotiated culmination”…what a great construct….
The Minsk agreements were supposed to guarantee Russia no expansion of NATO, no membership to Ukraine, no offensive weapons on the Ukraine/Russia border, and other aspects that were deliberately ignored and breached by the U.S. and NATO. The 2014 coup was the brainchild of Victoria Nuland and our state department, with assistance of George Soros and others, which expelled an elected President who favored Russia, and installed one favoring the West, who immediately requested NATO membership. Even if there were “agreement capable counterparties”, the Russians have already been burned by the deliberate ignoring of the Minsk agreements, which Angela Merkle stated openly were only designed to give Ukraine time to build up their military with NATO help. No agreements are coming, only unconditional surrender, which our feckless leaders would start WWIII before agreeing to.
Just a small tweak re
“which expelled an elected President who favored Russia, ”
Russia offered Lukashenko/Ukraine a MUCH BETTER DEAL economic development package than the EU.
Lukashenko is not an indiot.
Right now I can’t regurgitate chapter and verse on the respective economic development deals, but basically it hinged on the amount of aid and the terms of repayment.
There were enormous strings attached with the EU; very few, and favorable repayment terms with Russia. Russia has always treated its ex-republics and satellites very decently.
Fer chrissakes Russia was giving Ukr a bigly discounted deal with oil and gas—which Ukr of course made a mess of by trying to grift the Russians for more. And Ukr also becoming a willing partner of the EU in screwing around with the gas market. And of course now we know that the Bidens were in on all the Ukr grift.
Sorry for overly long “tweak.”
But Lukashenko was not irrational or sentimental when he chose to accept the Russians’ package.
actually , I think it was Yanokovich who US and Nato deemed to be a Russki stooge. If memory serves,Yushenko was the guy who was poisoned with dioxin but he survived He is till aliveand blamed russia I
Two tweaks:
Minsk said nothing about NATO. It was an agreement between the Kiev regime and the Donetsk and Lugansk republics to hold negotiations on their autonomy.
They didn’t want to be ruled by the nazis the US had placed into the Kiev government.
And Lukashenko is the president of Belarus, who also faced a Color Revolution when he didn’t kowtow to the west, but who survived the attacks.
It was Yanukovych who chose the Russian offer over the EU offer and had his country destroyed in return.
“It was Yanukovych who chose the Russian offer over the EU offer and had his country destroyed in return.”
Right.
My bad.
Any part of Ukraine that is allowed to remain “neutral” and/or “independent” will just be a staging area for guerilla insurgence. Putin has to draw very strong lines, whether to divide Ukraine or if he takes all of it, on the border with a hostile Poland.
PASSPORT issuance is a main duty of the State Department. They have no business insulting and pestering other nations and their duly elected (or not) leaders.
WARNING to readers planning to travel abroad: it now takes 3 months to get a passport issued or renewed. It used to take 2 weeks. For an extra $60 you can get “rush” service and wait only 6 weeks. “Urgent” service takes 2 weeks and requires an in-person interview at a far-away passport agency office. Furthermore, the expiration date in a passport is misleading — you can’t get on an airline if they see your “valid” passport expires within 90 days.
From what I can tell, both sides are locked into meat grinder trench warfare. The Russians are only able to make small gains at great cost. Hard to tell what the casualty rate is since neither side is forthcoming with that information.
It doesn’t appear Ukraine is going to surrender anytime soon. I pray for peace and that those who could, make it happen. I think the warmongering US could end this rather quickly but don’t want to. Curses on them.
Check out The Duran Alex and Alexander and The New Atlas Brian Berletic.
What I have read at the Dreizin Report is that one of the problems is Ukr’s ability to pinpoint air defense against Russian planes, owing to electronics (Starlink?) they have gotten from the USA. The russians have to slog through trenches because sending planes overhead, to take ouit infrastructure, bridges, etc. is too risky for loss of planes and pilots
I won’t attempt to paraphrase; I have the memory of a mosquito when it comes to military jargon.
httpX://thedreizinreport.com/2023/02/22/russian-air-power-mystery-explained/
I’ve worried from the get-go that the neocon cabal running this shitshow have had no qualms whatsoever in going nuclear. Even as Russia maintains a significant edge in nuke numbers and in tech supremacy. Starting with the lack of any viable conventional military and manufacturing logistics force to counteract a Russian buildup. And still not having such. And oh yeah, btw, China too….
WITAF?
Or were they and their generals just too drunk on hubris to ever consider that we, “the good guys,” could ever fail becuz White Hats?
Even as parts for F-35s come from such “diverse”(ity) places like Saudi Arabia and wait for it…. China.
The USA in the 2020s: The bad trip that there is no viable way, let alone painless way to come down from. Unless being at and in a number of Ground Zeros. That ought to be a quickie, yes indeed.
So I read about Ed Dowd announcing the new SOA excess death numbers yesterday. I needed to figure out what SOA stood for. I ended up at SOA dot org. There was a video on the home page acknowledging the analysis done through “the COVID era” and informing the viewers that soa’s data comes from the cdc. I didn’t watch the whole thing.
That video is gone today.
So what does SOA mean, SAJ?
Sorry, I should have included that.
Society of Actuaries! The website looks like a professional organization for actuarial members. Actuaries probably work in many industries, but none more so than the insurance industry.
Yeah, Life Insurance doesn’t seem to have been in on the “gag”. They are being utterly screwed. I imagine that high level talks are going on to compensate them and get them to shut up.
I’m not sure what options the insurance companies have. Rate increases, adding a vaxx question to the health questionnaire, off loading their exposure to reinsurance companies, and refusing new business are the only options I could come up with. I guess I should add government bailout to the list, as you mentioned.
Taking down that video at the same time as Ed Dowd’s announcement was weird though….
Fifty years ago, what people are doing in the US now, trans, same sex, pedophilia, bestiality would be grounds for a diagnosis of mental illness, not glorified by a group of woke monsters.
The penchant for lying, which is the core of the Democratic ethos, is also grounds for being classified nuts. Lastly, the APA has an official diagnosis for extraordinary narcissism, a basic requirement to hold most high offices.
Is it any wonder that the US government acts like it is crazy, that is has no clue what it is doing, at a time when “smarts” are really needed to address today’s problems.
Is it any wonder that the Deep State, Trump included, jumped on the Fauci, Birx bandwagon?
Think about this, CFNers. Fauci was involved with the going’s on in Wuhan, when he got on the lectern the first time. He knew what had occurred, what Covid19 was capable of, what the sequence was that ended up being the vaccine. He also knew his ass was on the line being involved in the developed virus that escaped.
More damning than anything is how he led the control freaks in DC when he knew better. He knew the s protein was going to make certain individuals overreact with their immune systems. He knew what the initial MDs were saying about Covid not being that dangerous and the Vaxx being more so and hid the truth.
He knew. All we got from him was wash hands, clean surfaces, wear masks and isolation.
This man deserves a jail sentence for allowing the CDC block the accomplishment of real R&D on the disease itself, real ameliorative treatments and care methodology to suppress the onset of a novel virus. I would bet that using respirators instead of close supportive care killed most of the folks that died. I remember that the lung secretions that drowned most of the deaths were turned into a gel making it impossible to get air in or allow the lungs to expand and contract. Did the respirators do that? We will probably never know. Along with this thought, did the reduced malevolence from alpha, delta then omicron result from closer supportive care rather than “Their O2sat is 85%, slap them on a ventilator. The bonuses paid to hospitals in 2020 for Covid diagnoses that died makes me wonder if a lot of people were killed for having a cold.
Fauci is a monster and fits in very well with the cast of monsters that inhabited the WH in Jan. 2021.
Yep, you are right, JohnAZ. The real kick in the balls is that few there be that care and nobody will do a damned thing about it. Fauci, meanwhile, will enjoy a lavish retirement pension until his death which cannot come too soon.
@Cankerpuss, I think lots of people care. From where I sit, the problem is that we’ve been attacked on every possible front. Our children are being indoctrinated and mutilated, our words are censored, our jobs are threatened, our food is being poisoned and/or destroyed, our factories are burning, our infrastructure is in ruins, we’re being harvested to provide funds for Ukraine, we have no borders, our streets are unsafe . . . I could go on, but there’s no need.
It’s overwhelming. Even if we had unlimited resources, I’m not sure what would need to be done to tackle all or even a few of these things. I wouldn’t know where to start, but I suspect that all of us would choose, from this list of outrages, those we find most threatening. We wouldn’t agree on what those things were, and we’d argue among ourselves as to where to spend our resources.
I can’t see any way out of this except for the whole toxic mess to be leveled and rebuilt from scratch. That may happen without our doing anything to help it along, since the system is rotten through and through. It will be ugly, but it has gotten so bad that the end of it may be welcomed even so.
Well said Rowdy Piglet. The mess is probably beyond the US public’s, or mankind’s ability to clean up and fix.
@Rowdy, as usual your post is thought provoking and appreciated. I agree with you, especially the last paragraph. I too agree that this current system has become so rotten and decayed to the very core that it cannot be saved or resuscitated. It needs to come down and something new and more efficient risen from the rubble. Personally, I am sick of waiting and watching the grifters continue to lie and steal with out repercussion. As much as I dread what comes with a widespread systemic collapse I would welcome it.
I’m starting to think that this mess is so bad that even God wouldn’t bother saving it choosing, instead, to let it collapse in upon itself.
True, Canker. We live in a post-Truth ear: nothing matters, nobody cares and there will be no consequences for lying.
Era!
There are plenty of consequences for lying, just not for the liar. 2/3 of my country’s population (and falling) has volunteered to spend the rest of their lives participating in an experimental gene therapy drug trial.
You could have pitched this script in Hollywood five years ago and been laughed out of the room it’s so bonkers.
He even got away with saying masks work after already having stated the KNOWN FACT that they do not.
Then he started wearing two (mask theatre as Rand Paul said) and talking about everyone wearing two or even three. And perhaps even Goggles! When not capes too?
For sheer theatricality, nothing could top those things people put on that looked like welders’ masks.
The famous Lloyd Austin, ass clown salutes the troops gambit.
Several people STILL wear masks out. Pathetic and depressing
Anyone who didn’t (or hasn’t) read RFK jr’s “The Real Anthony Fauci”—out now for going on 2 years—has self-deprived and starved themselves of the facts about Fauci the mob boss monster. It’s ALL there. His business ties with Bill Gates alone are hugely evidentiary in exposing their amoral and psychopathic alliance.
As if holding the mRNA patent on the vax a year before the modified, gene-tinkered corona virus was not totally out of step with how the Universe actually works. Fauci’s criminality goes way back, way back to his intentional and blithe mass poisoning of AIDS victims. He surely got away with that one.
Stupefication has been Fauci’s and the Owners’ modus operandi throughout this latest and ongoing attack on the body politic. It’s still largely working too.
I keep thinking about how they told us AIDS started in monkeys in Africa.
I met patient zero, His flight crew stayed in the hotel I was working in. It was when he was being outed and everyone was staying away from him.
A french guy from Vancouver.
unintended pun. should be French
Quote, K-dog: “I am going to give my gay cancer to everybody “.
The Stews who were forced to fly with him were a lot closer than I was. The guy radiated a selfish evil. Two of the women were talking about the gay cancer at the front desk when they got their room key. I could hear them from my post.
This was just before Alaskan Airlines grounded his ass.
I saw a presentation on public TV one late night by a Daniel Horowitz who gave a very credible argument for AIDS being an engineered virus. This was in the early 80s. I didn’t have cable yet and was flipping through the channels late one night and came across this show. I believe it was an engineered virus, It’s not like our government hadn’t intentionally poisoned the population with viruses or pathogens before.
I think it was engineered also.
And I lived in San Francisco in 1979 and the propaganda was overwhelming. They wanted gay men to get that shot.
No internet, but it was on billboards and bus stops and in the buses.
And then 2 years later, a new and unknown disease suddenly appeared in SF, LA, NY and Haiti.
Cause that makes epidemiological sense.
And then it spread to Brazil and Africa. Brazil and Africa?
And then we got the Origin Story, the monkey in Africa who got eaten by a dude who then had sex with a flight attendant.
Sure, dude.
AZ: The Cov viral infection via its S glycoprotein (produced by the ‘vax’ BTW) causes damage to the lining of the alveoli in the lungs. Then when hit with positive pressure (PEEP) from a vent, the alveoli, en mass, burst and produce massive bleeding and inability to exchange O2 and CO2, i.e. death. I have been astounded that internists and pulmonologists that I trained with in residency (IM), and worked with for 30+ years, all of a sudden have forgotten basic pathophysiology. It’s almost like some kind of waking trance they’re in with an inability to see the obvious and an inability to discuss the issues without becoming hostile. I hate to think its simply a matter of money talks. Regardless, this is the sort of thing that has resulted in the loss all of my respect for 75% of people in medicine. The Rockefeller model of medicine has shown its authoritarian face behind the mask of intelligence.
And, despite the obvious apocalyptic fallout from the ‘vaxx,’ there is no backdown from the ‘safe and effective’ stance and probably never will be.
neurodoc,
There was a doctor out in California, I believe, who was shouting to the rooftops about the misuse of ventilators in 2020. I don’t know what happened to him, but he said covid should be treated more like altitude sickness rather than respiratory failure.
I remember feeling proud that General Motors was modifying some of their manufacturing lines to produce needed ventilators, not understanding that not only do ventilators require full time trained respiratory nurses to monitor their use, but also, they will blow out the lungs (as you describe) if used on patients who do not need them.
And this week we learned that New York City has conducted a firesale for $200 Million of PPE (including lots of unused ventilators) for pennies on the dollar!
Talk about mis-information….
Yes Mrs. – $200MM US taxpayer dollars. Seems I’m in the wrong business, should have been a PPE manufacturer – $500K not a good ROI as a taxpayer. We are lost.
That reminds me. This is a list of questions Van Morrison came up with after an interview with someone named Billy Bragg.
These are questions anyone could have and should have asked and found answers to.
https://twitter.com/vanmorrison/status/1630173955532242946?s=20
I answered John before I saw your post, Mrs. saj. I think you are referring to the video I posted. Thank you, at least I know one person watched it.
He was a doctor in NY City and he was working on a covid ward, and yes, he used the idea that the hypoxia the patients experienced was more like altitude sickness, not pneumonia.
He had already noticed that the vents didn’t work, and this was before the media started pushing the “With enough vents everyone will live and it’s all Trump’s fault we don’t have enough” narrative that led to GM making more ventilators.
What a farce.
That’s right! He was in NYC and that’s why he had that first hand experience before so many other docs that vents did not work! Thank you for clarifying, my recollection is never perfect.
The vents weren’t the correct therapy in fact they were deadly when they were used. They required staffing that thankfully wasn’t available in large numbers. This probably saved lives. The hospitals (I mean taxpayers) payed full retail plus, to rush orders for vents. Many vents were never used. And they were sold, new and unused, for pennies on the dollar.
We will repeat something like this cycle on the next go around. It’s lunacy.
who was shouting to the rooftops – mrs_saj
===========
shouting to the rooftops or from the rooftops?
JHC Q – you may be on to something. Since the doctor was shouting to the rooftops – maybe he wasn’t censored or cancelled – it may have just been that no one heard him. Now if he was shouting from the rooftops – different story.
From. One shouts from the rooftops. Rooftops don’t technically have ears.
😉
There was already research done on treatments for SARS. In 2005, researchers at Fauci’s labs showed that hydroxychloroquine killed SARS cells in vitro.
That is why when SARS 2 was released so many doctors started using it on their patients, and it was found to work..
What was the response of Fauci and the rest of the paid killers?
They outlawed the use of HCQ in the US and elsewhere.
In France it had been an OTC drug. In January 20202 France made it prescription only.
Mistake? Come on, man!
That is a clear sign of malfeasance and worse.
And we already know what caused the lung damage in severe Covid. It was the release of lung cytokines into the interstitial tissue that caused the hypoxia and death of so many.
The ventilators didn’t cause the damage. The issue is that ventilators did not help ventilation, because the problem was not with the airways or the respiratory muscles, it was in the alveoli, and the vents could not force air exchange when the alveoli were smothered in leukocytes.
This is not a medical mystery, John. I remember in March of 2020 watching a YouTube video of a doctor on a covid ward talking about his bafflement that the vents were not helping the patients.
I even posted the video here recently, after I spent 20 minutes looking for it. I’m not inclined to look again, if it made no dent in the “bafflement” expressed as to the etiology and progression of the disease.
After his recent passing from a long battle with cancer I penned a obituary summary of the life work of Nobel prize nominee Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a pioneer proponent of the use of hydroxycloroquine in the treatment of Covid19. In his lifetime medical practice he treated approximately 10,000 patients, either directly in his clinic or remotely. He had a total of four!! fatalities attributable to Covid19 among his entire patient group!
The Back Story
By spring of 2020 I had become convinced that the official story of the exploding Pandemic was based upon fraudulent mis-use of data. The perfect Petri dish provided by the Diamond Princess cruise liner showed it to be orders of magnitude less dangerous than was being represented. And the “Gold Standard PCR test was being used to justify radical isolation, shutting down of entire economies, and oppression of children. Ignoring the fact that its Nobel Prize winning inventor loudly proclaimed that it is entirely useless for medical diagnosis.
During these early days I came across an interview with Dr. Zelenko conducted by Trump’s advisor Rudy Giuliani. They discussed the positive results from his clinic and of a much larger scale clinical practice in France.. Giuliani returned to Washington and reported to Trump with his findings. Within three days it was purged from YouTube and from availability on my computer. My first experience with how effective medical censorship in the US had become.
Within days of receiving the Giuliani report Trump was diagnosed with Covid19. He was in the midst of his intense campaign for the Presidency, but was never-the- less admitted to Walter Reed. We cannot know what the doctors from the Presidential hospital prescribed, but it would have only been logical that he took the Zelenko Protocol based upon Giuliani report.
Within three days Trump was back on the campaign trail at full force.
Yet in my lovely blue state, the denizens are still masking up, by choice. They are still requiring N95 masks to go contra dancing! They’re still only posting pro mask and vax stuff on local websites as well as warnings over the harms of Covid. The vax is still required for employment in some places. And there is zero mention of the increased number of deaths that aren’t due to Covid. If those ever come to light here they will dismiss them as suicides and overdoses or deaths due to delaying medical treatment. They will never admit they got it wrong and still are.
And they are still making out with masks on, filming themselves giving masked kisses much sweeter than wine.
Contra is an alternate universe, the center of which is the Brattleboro Dawn Dance, as you well know.
Same here, Mountain Girl. The fact is that most of the vaxxed – and I am pleased this is so – are still absolutely alive and kicking. 40% increases in mortality sound like a lot, but in actual numbers, they aren’t when compared to the overall population. Most people are still blind to what is going on.
Hereward,
Keep repeating that because it’s true.
A 40% increase in all cause death rates is way beyond statistical significance. But it’s not noticeable to the average citizen.
Unless you are a mortician, casket maker, life insurance actuary, or funeral home owner, you aren’t noticing the increased mortality.
A new guy at work is walking around with a mask. I wondered why the mask police have not forced it off his face yet.
Then I remembered, he has been at work two weeks and was supposed to have started three weeks ago. He had to start a week late because he had COVID.
What test was used to determine the diagnosis?
What was used to inform the test?
The answer is none and nothing.
Guy had a cold.
😀
Mountain Gal
You do recognize that there is no cure for Mind Parasites? The 30% of the American and European public who have been permanently damaged and had their brain tissues deformed by MRNA instructions to manufacture spike proteins to counteract an extinct varietal of COVID are beyond hope. They should be isolated from civic society. Perhaps they can find a useful role hand picking cotton or raising non-GMO organic corn.
May I suggest that the comment section include up/down votes on the comments? Often times I want to express approval (&, honestly, sometimes DISapproval) of a comment but don’t to stuff another otherwise needless addition into a crowded discussion. Just a suggestion!
I like that idea Rudy. TNX
I think this comments section should be turned into a discussion board with semi- permanent topic threads, but I guess our host does not want that. It would be wild that’s for sure, and wild fun. Maybe too wild for our host.
Yes, there is a severe shortage of electrons. We’re going to have to start to conserve. Every keystroke and mouse click lessens the lifespan of our civilization.
Who needs discussion? It all comes to just agreeing or disagreeing, like/dislike!
Perhaps by saying nothing we could indicate liking. And when not liking, just, just say n. One key stroke. One mouse click.
What is there to say? People like what they like and believe what they believe. As Dale Carnegie used to say, A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion sill.
Debate is useless. It’s just arguing; just vote on everything including scientific questions.
No, there are too man green eyed monsters here who will go bizzaro with up-downs.
I someone really wanted to control comments they could design their own website. An owner could let comments be edited by their author for instance.
Do you know anyone who has done that?
Or who has linking arrows between comments?
This is a test.
@ K-Chien:
Long ago, Ticker Forum was set up with many separate topics. Readers could start their own topic threads. It was possible to have lengthy discussions with others. But Karl pared the blog down to the bare bones a few years ago. It must have been a nightmare to administer. But I’ve never seen a blog so well organized.
The lab leak and the Nord Stream explosion seem the two furin-cleavage sites to penetrating the clown world psyche.
If one were able to have a pragmatic, patient conversation with another who is either misinformed and/or ignorant to these two global instances, surely some kind of awareness would emerge.
Then, you have the person climb the ladder to this new level of understanding, and you explain, now everything you thought you knew changes, for you have to perceive it all with this new perspective.
Now that you know our own government was involved but neglected to tell you, what else aren’t they telling you?
Always makes me think of Johnny Rotten’s quote over the mic at the Sex Pistols last U.S. show, when he realized punk authenticity had been co-opted,
“Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?”
Some 49 million US residents are carefully exempted from mRNA vaccines: *illegal aliens and their get* alive, distributed, subisidized, and unsterilized.
Also congress.
And the Supreme Court and U.S. Postal Service, and likely others we don’t know about. Always believed the pols, including China Joe got saline solution and not the deadly mRNA.
Yep. The only pol I can think of who might have been harmed by the vaxxes was Newsome. He is so stupid that he didn’t get the memo.
I don’t believe he got the vaxx.
His absence for a couple of weeks following his jab had a lot to say for what happened to him. I recall some dumbass excuse about his daughter’s camping trip and/or Halloween.
But I recall the Bell’s Palsy evidence even more.
Dave,
And during his absence he “vacationed” in some city in Mexico whose main hospital is renowned for treating the condition he was rumored to have (Bell’s palsy or Guion Barre?). I think he got the real vaxx and had an immediate bad reaction to it. And he had some BS excuse for why his daughter hadn’t received the vaxx yet, she needed other shots first.
Then there are those who exempted themselves – you know – the one’s that in their wisdom – just said fuck you!
Why now?
Because the lab that it leaked from wasn’t in China. They knew that from the start and had a plan to stonewall that as long as they could. That’s the reason for Wray’s tell, “For quite some time now….”
The establishment are now united behind the lab leak theory because the majority of Americans now believe that Wuhan was the source of the shenanigans anyway, so selling this lie will be child’s play.
The deceptions run deep and they are multi layered.
WWIII has already begun and they’re using bioweapons.
#FTA
Bingo! It’s already gone down the memory hole that this thing actually came out several months earlier in the Ft. Dietrich MD area mysteriously disguised as “vaping deaths.”
First lady Melania Trump tweets she is ‘deeply concerned’ about vaping epidemic
The first lady and the FDA are warning against using e-cigarettes and vaping products after some have been hospitalized and died from its usage.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/video/lady-melania-trump-tweets-deeply-concerned-vaping-epidemic-65513708
What about the deaths from the vax that her hubby pushed on us?
Not pushing it was the only thing he got half right.
So covid is in the vapes? Pretty vapid theory, gang.
Not so. That is what officialdom attributed that bit o’ pre-pandemic warning marker to. Several months prior to the announcement of actual rollout in Wuhan, but conjunctive with the closure of Fort Dietrick after some downwind folks caught a strange new bug.
I wouldn’t be surprised if those near Fort Dietrick were not also lumped into vapers themselves by “government spokespersons.”
No, Jarek. Covid deaths in the summer of 2019 were diagnosed as “vaping deaths.”
The ground glass x-rays in both ”vaping” and covid deaths are the giveaway.
Diagnosing normal pneumonia:
“Chest x-ray: An x-ray exam will allow your doctor to see your lungs, heart and blood vessels to help determine if you have pneumonia. When interpreting the x-ray, the radiologist will look for white spots in the lungs (called infiltrates) that identify an infection.” The patchy infiltrate will be identified by site in lungs, i.e. left lower lobe.
Diagnosis vaping disease:
“Electronic cigarette or vaping product use–associated lung injury most frequently presents with an acute lung injury pattern at CT, manifesting as multifocal ground-glass opacity and/or consolidation, typically multifocal and multilobar, possibly with subpleural sparing.”
Diagnosing covid pneumonia:
“Chest CT in COVID-19 pneumonia demonstrates bilateral, peripheral, and basal predominant ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and/or consolidation in nearly 85% of patients with superimposed irregular lines and interfaces; the imaging findings peak 9–13 days after infection.”
That is, CTs showing the ground glass opacities.
If you’ll remember, the way that China diagnosed covid in 2020 was through CT scans showing the distinctive ground glass appearance of the lungs.
They didn’t do the PCR thing the US did.
And covid infections in Dec 2019 were called “virus of unknown origin” when the influenza swabs came back negative.
It is plausible (the lumping). Everything was called covid once the madness started.
I don’t believe the narrative or even that it exists. But we both believe that Fauxi should be put on trial.
The lab that what leaked from?
You have seen an isolate of “Covid-19”
No one has.
To date, no one has ever shown one scintilla of hard evidence that it even exists.
Re food shortages, the CHD is holding a symposium on the ‘Attack on Food’ and ‘Solutions to fight back’ tomorrow at 12pm ET.
childrenshealthdefense.salsalabs.org/attack-on-food
Hosted by Meryl Nass. Includes Josesph Mercola, Stephanie Seneff, Patrick Wood, James Corbett …
I went to England last week, GA. Luckily, I didn’t see any of the fruit and veg shortage the papers were going on about – and there were no shortages of bangers and bacon for the FEBs!
Good for you, Hereward – glad you got your full English! Don’t tell anyone, but a full Scottish has better black pudding, sometimes from Stornoway, which is the gold standard. 🙂
GA. Yes, I’ve heard that the Full Scottish is actually better than the FEB. I will try it next time I’m around there.
Poetic embrace of the DemSoc OneState::
Bad Biden burns jet kerosene in his fleet of planes.
The citizens look up in awe, wishing for said gains.
Bad Biden says, “It’s all for you! All I ask is votes.”
The citizens then gave their all, “Biden!” in their throats.
Hot Iron fists in iron gloves smashed the citizens
“It’s Biden’s turn to rob you blind and kick your stupid a§§.”
Contrails above, and Biden abides,
While citizens grok meaningless asides,
In new Gulfstreams your commissar rides,
Above the unwashed it effortlessly glides
Bringing Utopia and all it provides,
Once the Lumpen finally dies….
I prefer short and sweet Haiku:
Biden’s a c*nt
F him!
Joe,
Like a capon in a hen house, like an eight year old’s appeal
Always Schiffing then scat slinging in an ever oozing wheal
Like a snowball down a joy girl or an African baboon
Like an infidel who’s baying at an overbright new moon
Like a Dem whose plea is dripping all political blackface
Bidenomics is a death dirge drooling traitorous disgrace
It’s the lap dogs that you find in the buttcracks of his mind.
Joe,
Or…
It/s the lap dogs like you find in the buttcrack of his ideological embrace….
You have a real knack for lyrics, Uncle Al.
All you need now is someone to write the melody and you are golden.
Another great essay, Jim, thank you. I would love to think that the public has learned something from all this but signs point to ignorance and delusion still abounding.
However, can we find a tiny scintilla of hope in the result of the Chicago mayoral race? Lori Lightfoot, who ranted on camera against those citizens who refused the poison jab, was given the boot, bigly.
Jimmie Dore played the video of her telling fellow citizens that they would be hunted down and prosecuted, even jailed, for not complying with the clotshot directives. How much do you want to bet she didn’t get the vaxx herself? Like Newscum, demanding people mask up, because he had a $3 million dollar contract with a Chinese mask company, then turns up at an intimate dinner with a public restaurant seated with 20 or so unmasked friends (and this was early on in the plandemic).
I would love to see more people booting the WEF liars and the hypocrite assholes who had no problem threatening decent citizens out of their cushy jobs.
I personally will not forget Sean Penn telling us we were no better than drunk drivers, Noam Chomsky saying we should be starved in concentration camps, and Howard Stern claiming we are garbage that should be jailed. I saved their public statements and I will not forget.
These people created a fake pandemic and destroyed millions of lives. We cannot let them get away with it.
I’m glad Chicago appears to at least still have some semblance of an election process for mayor, although I’m sure it’s compromised to some degree. That would tell you just how much Chicagoans detest Lightfoot.
There was concern in Jimmie’s episode on this that now Chicago may usher in a real “law and order” rightwing type. Well, how is this any worse than Lightfoot? At least they might get some of the thugs off the street.
It doesn’t get more police state authoritarian than telling the populace you’ll hunt them down and jail them. And she ran as a progressive lefty. This is one of many reasons I no longer think parties matter. It’s the individual issues and integrity of the political leader that is important.
Just did a quick search and found that Sean Penn also compared refusing to be vaxxed to “waving a gun in somebody’s face.” He’s an absolute idiot. Of course it’s fitting that he would be the spokesgoon for the Ukraine war, in his fatigues and pink decorated camoflage hat.
He’s a washed up drunken actor, searching for a job he can do, and not finding it.
This is what he’s reduced to, and he doesn’t even know it.
Yep, he’s an idiot but he gets the spotlight. Why does he get the spot light? Because he’s made millions of dollars pretending to be someone other than himself and in America, if you have millions of dollars you are endowed with knowledge from on high about everything under the sun. Because he gets the spotlight, millions believe every lie and opinion that exits his filthy mouth.
People are responsible for their own thinking, regardless of education level, regardless of any so called expertise of the person that you are listening to or consulting. They are merely advisers. You can (for now) look up pro’s and con’s on just about any issue on the internet, they can’t censor it all. I automatically reject the appeal to fear, if you can’t convince me with logic or reason, my intuition kicks in and I give the appearance of listening but I’m now quietly placing that person on the list as suspect. When I ask questions, I expect answers. When I don’t get them or I get defensiveness or the attitude that you can’t question me, no biggie, I will just find someone who will answer them and leave that person and their advice alone. You don’t get to control my fear switch. Scared bitches aren’t leading me anywhere, I don’t care how many times you’ve been on TV, or how many letters you have behind your name.
“You don’t get to control my fear switch. Scared bitches aren’t leading me anywhere, I don’t care how many times you’ve been on TV, or how many letters you have behind your name.”
Well said.
Sean Penn is not featured because he’s a celebrity, he’s featured because he spouts the Establishment narrative.
Look what happened to Eric Clapton when he disclosed his vax injury. Look at how they treat Jimmy Dore.
Look what they did to Gina Carrano.
You can’t step out of line, no matter how famous you are. But keep in the lines and you get all kinds of press, even if you are a washed-up actor.
Very true.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Chicagoans still have to navigate the (April 4 ?) runoff between Vallas and Johnson. Then we’ll see. I’m not sure I agree with either, politically. But Johnson will not disavow “burn loot murder”. So there’s that.
The only good thing about elections at present is that you can get rid of one scumbag – even if he/she is replaced by another one. I loved that Ardern in NZ and Morrison in AUS got booted, but have no illusions about their replacements.
I disagree. Respectfully to both James and others who may agree or disagree, this was not a great essay.
There is no proof Covid-19 exists. The lab leak theory is meaningless when they have yet to show us what Covid-19 is.
I am not convinced Covid19 exists either. I liked the rest of the essay though.
Let’s add to this list the fact that official agencies are all pretending that the disaster with its epicenter in East Palestine, Ohio, extending who-knows-how-far, presents no great concern to human inhabitants, while the wildlife in that region is observably dying.
As always in today’s America, no-one is responsible, and no-one will be held accountable.
Far be it from me so suggest that a team of vigilantes should hunt down the malefactors at the top of the Railroad food chain and administer harsh justice, but what less than that would make an impression, or inspire more responsible behavior on the part of US corporations?
That fire was out a month ago. The gas cloud is long gone. Poison sure. Vinyl chloride boils off at -10 degrees F. You think that crap is still there? I live 150 miles away. I have a headache. Can I put my name down on the lawyers list? Sure I can. The more the merrier. Lasting effects? This train wreck is way overblown . just another distraction in the F-Uped news cycle. Fox is playing it to the hilt.
That’s about the most confused statement I have ever seen.
The effects of environmental toxins are cumulative. Some of these agents were ephemeral; others are long-term. Dioxins are in the latter category, and harmful dosages are similar to those for plutonium.
Enjoy some with your breakfast cereal, Elmo.
Thank you. One could surmise “the Saint” has already been affected judging by that reactionary mini-rant. How soon they forget “Love Canal” amongst many others. “The conditioning will continue,” i.e. ‘The Beatings” until they learn to ‘love their slavery.’
Get real Dave, You live in a chemical world. Nothing you can do about it.
What about phosphene gas?
Many predicted terrible long term effects for the 9/11 responders. They were right. I don’t think firemen were all that surprised. They see it in their ranks all the time. When I was in the chemo ward, I sometimes talked to a fireman.
My long term prospects were excellent. His were not.
It’s phosgene Vlad, Stuff is bad news.Any which was produced in the vinyl chloride burn is long dissipated. The worlds a big place. The dioxins are the concern . They tend to linger. You mentioned talking to firefighters. They’ll all tell you,as will I, inside a rippin’ house fire there is so much plastic and bullshit burning you don’t have a clue what is in there. After a good fire with an aggressive interior attack you can shower for days and still smell the smoke and chemicals coming off your body. It reeks. It’s in your skin, hair, and I’m sure organs. What are ya gonna do . Let the city burn down?. Chemicals , our friends. In the old days, it was, wood, wool, horsehair furniture padding and whatever. Certainly not good but probably not as bad as our modern wonder chemicals.
I acknowledge your comment Saint, but not your rationale.
Zoltar, the horse is out of the barn, Humpty-Dumpty fell off the wall, the cat is out of the bag, The Ohio Valley has been a polluted mess for a century. What are we gonna do about it. Nothing. We can cry over spilt milk but we live in a chemical world. and there is not one little shit we can do about it. I don’t know where you live but in my area there is so much toxic shit traveling the highways and rails it will keep you up at night. I used to carry a DOT book with me and point out what was on the trucks to my wife as we drove the interstate. Drove her nuts. One thing that really pisses me off that we can do something about is the sonic testing off the Atlantic seaboard which is driving the baleen whales insane. Imagine your house blasted constantly by deafening sound so some green dipshit can put up a windmill.
What are they testing for with that noise?
Tucker’s had some people on about this who say that it is killing or disorienting the whales but no one talks about why they do it.
In old Liverpool and Manchester, the snow used to come down as black sometimes.
Things can be much worse – and were until made better. Similarly, things could be made better than they are – if the political will was there.
Sans conservation, there would be scarcely any large wild animals left in the United States.
They’re doing sonic seabed testing. I don’t know the figures but I would imagine those 600 foot windmill foundations would have to go pretty deep into the bedrock. That’s hurricane territory. Those whales are probably in excruciating pain.
Hey – we live in a noisy world, Elmo – ain’t nothin; we can do about it, eh?
Out of one side of your mouth you sound like a shill for Dow Chemical, and then you modestly propose that we make the Green Cartel stop building infrastructure.
You needn’t worry about Emerson criticizing you for foolish consistency.
Yep. It’s not Chernobyl 2.0. Our side exaggerates too sometimes.
I know, right? What the hell is up with Buttpounder? He makes Nero look like a Steve McQueen in Towering Inferno.
Catch me up here, HtW – whothehell is Buttpounder?
Buttigieg. His name is already ridiculous so I altered it to be more in line with his proclivities.
We see one after another of these major functionaries: Fauci; Wray; Garland etc, hauled before the highest ruling body in the land and get damningly grilled and then head offstage with their golden parachutes and no consequence. Why are they not dragged off in chains immediately? Why bother watching the public pageant anymore? The whole governing body is so obviously guilty of graft and corruption. Perhaps this is why they must get destroy Putin. He would have them in front of a firing squad within the hour.
“ Why bother watching the public pageant anymore? The whole governing body is so obviously guilty of graft and corruption. Perhaps this is why they must get destroy Putin. He would have them in front of a firing squad within the hour.”
________________________________________________
You are completely correct my friend. That’s why me and my wife no longer watch them because even when they are caught lying, nothing happens to them. You can go on YouTube right now and watch everything from 3 minutes to 15 minute spots Ted Cruz really left and right I get certain people that they have caught lying up one side down the other and he says they’ve caught them and what do they have to say about themselves??? well, they always fall back on one of the other.
A. That’s not in my purview. (if I hear that one again, it makes me wanna jump through the TV and strangle the bastard myself!!!!)
B. I don’t understand what you mean. Over and over. With the look on her face to Ted Cruz or to Rand Paul / senator Josh Hawley that says with a glaringly FUCK-YOU Look on their face and what are you gonna do about it sport? what are you gonna do to us???
Nothing that’s right nothing. And until the series have some actual meat behind them, there’s no use watching. Because it’s a waste of time to even have them.
I gave up watching a decade ago. Just trying to prepare as best as I can. It’s all corrupt.
Montana,
Don’t forget my favorite response:
C. I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation.
It just infuriates me.
Correct about Putin. He told the oligarchs who almost destroyed Russia to get out of the country or face the consequences.
I thought he said ‘you can keep your shit’ but I am the boss. Exactly what he was hired to do.
You left out “Pay your taxes” among a few other things. The fact(s) is that was the most pragmatic and perhaps only course to take at the time. Those oligarchs had their fiefdoms-city states well established and lots of money and access to arms to make Russia a civil war hell in addition to the already CIA-bestirred Chechens. That said, a lot of U.S.-Euro-Brit ‘bidnessmen’ including spooks got rich alongside those Russian tycoons. Why Putin has *earned* eternal damnation among the plutocrats. And the hoi polloi suck it up as gospel because it’s all they’ve passively ever heard. Putin’s “riches” being the super denominator.
Dave, Exactly right.
There is no death penalty in Russia.
This is the new category of entertainment!
It used to be sit/coms like All in the Family, Three’s Company and Cheers and now we’ve morphed into sit/cons like Covid 19 and Ukraine is on Fire. Giving the public something to watch from the couch.
“Look Mr. Fauci, Mr. Wray, Mr. Garland, you were going to retire anyway. Fall on your swords just a little bit. Let them see a wee bit of blood, a few drops of red leading offstage will do the trick. Remember it would’ve been a firing squad if you lived in Russia or China. Be grateful and we’ll even let you keep the moneyl!”
Destroy Putin? Good one.
My feelings go out to those people left high and dry by our (S)”elected” representatives…again.
I’m a “downwinder”, born 1955 and liberally showered with radioactive dust from the multiple USA Atmospheric Atomic Tests.
I and my siblings have always had bad teeth. I attribute this to ingesting the isotope Strontium-90 for which, our bodies have a greater affinity than Calcium.
I have first hand knowledge that Strontium-90 builds shitty teeth.
But Wonder Bread builds strong bodies 12 ways.

Hey, my dad participated in a 29 kiloton test in Nevada in 1955. He said he was “part of the mushroom cloud” and that it had blown over and behind him by the time he had to open the tank hatch and look around.
He lived to be 85 and none of us kids are mutants (much). Here’s hoping your health holds up, too.
Great
I am making $100 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $16,000 a month by working on a laptop, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply.
Everybody must try this job now by just using this website…
Katarina, 16 G’s a month bent over a laptop? Wow. Nice gig. What is your only-fans page? Asking for the Q-man.
Well, don’t keep us in suspense.
Why do people say working “from” home instead of working “at home”?
I don’t know.
Here in Boise, when people are robbed, they post: “I had my ford truck (or whatever item) stolen.”
Like 9 out of 10 people write that way. Not “my ford truck was stolen” or “someone stole my ford truck.”
Why would you have your own truck stolen? It’s just a figure of speech, I guess.
It seems to be a more reflexive formulation, as if to explain one’s personal predicament rather than the simple act of theft.
Yes I know, but it doesn’t make sense, and it seems to be regional. I could be wrong.
It makes it sound like an accomplishment, something they got done, finally, and can check off the old bucket list.
You see many posts that are worded, “Went to the store,” or “Walked the dog.” Not, “I went to the store,” or “I walked the dog.”
I think this is a subtle way of avoiding the ownership of your own words.
Using memes to express your feelings is the same kind of thing, only more so. On Facebook, people often post a canned statement about how they are just going to be themselves, and they don’t care if anyone likes them. If they really meant this and had any courage at all, they’d say so themselves, in their own words; they would not require third-party attribution. Or, alternatively, they could just say what they mean, without fear or apology.
These are the same people who did not speak up about masks, business closures, etc. I suspect they post memes on Facebook, when they could just as well tell their offending friends and relatives how they feel, to their faces–but they don’t.
Why do people drive on parkways and park in driveways?
In the aisle or on the aisle?
Remember the pedestrian covid arrows in stores? I was hoping for stop signs and lights too. Maybe horns that could be pressed? The illusion of driving could have been complete!

Anthea – I write as you describe above, but for a different reason. It’s a conscious effort. Years ago, I tried to concentrate on eliminating “I” in my writing & speech, as it seems to sound self-important. It requires creative ways of wording.
I’ve challenged people to write or speak without using “I, me or my.” It’s a daunting task for them. A lot of self-absorbed people out there. That’s what we teach nowadays & our current culture reinforces it – It’s all about you!
OK, enough about me, how are YOU doing today?

Katherine,
Hold my application! Check from Nigeria will be here soon!
And sanity in May coming.
Heard at NASCAR/ Daytona last week, ” Gentlemen start your engines!” Heard at my place this week, “Gentlemen start your seeds!” Daylight savings ends next week . I already have a few hundred hours in my bank account. Unless they can kill them with imaginary chemtrails I’m hoping for a good crop this year. I just picked up a couple plots that the hoi-poloi can’t be bothered planting. Even with the price of food most people are like. “Hey, I can get that shit at the store.” Of course”Joe Biden” with his nuclear winter plans and all bets are off. I hear onions and root crops are going the way of the lowly egg. Big shortages. Best get yer ‘tubers in soon.
I can grow a mean potato in 5 gallon buckets. Be sure to preserve your seed potatoes.
CP, I grow them in tire stacks, easy as pie, and production is way more than I can use. Easy to water, easy to mulch and no need to dig. Just knock them over when done. Some people say the tires contaminate the taters. I say hogwash.Tires are pretty gotdamn stable as far as I can tell. They make a hell of a retaining wall.
They make houses of tires. But can they stop a bullet?
Build one and I’ll pop a 7.62 x 51 at ya. Let me know. You’ll be fine is my bet.
I tried growing potatoes on tire stacks, but this did not work for me. I wound up with a small handful of potatoes in the bottom tire.
I wonder if a particular variety of potato is required?
Anthea, did you cut he sidewalls from the tires? I cut them out with a sawzall leaving just the steel belted tire to stack. I also use the removed center piece upside down as a water gatherer/ weed block around my squash plants. really keeps the weeds down and collects dew.
Hi guys, just a friendly warning that tires are made with a whole host of dubious stuff, some of which may leech into the soil and subsequently uptaken by the plants.
I hear ya Mr. Z, my tires sorta just sit there. America’s cropiand is criss/crossed by miles of roads made from black tea asphalt literally eating tires for breakfast by the millions As our giant diesel food delivery units spew yummy shit out their massive stacks. bringing that good ol’ 3000 mile ceaser salad to your coal fueld corner store. Ain’t no escape. Sorry. GROW YOUR OWN as Mr Natural says.
@ stelmosfire:
I spent most of the day starting tomato seeds and potting up peppers, which I started about a month ago in those peat plugs that come in trays of 72. But I only have about 36 peppers: two or three kinds of sweet peppers and several kinds of poblanos. Also one “sweet habanero” from J.L. Hudson. (Sounds interesting.) I started a few tomatoes about a month ago, because I was worried about germination, so they need to be potted up. It looks like I’ll wind up with more than 80 lisianthus plants. A bunch of other flower seeds started a few days ago are already up. The onions, leeks, kale, cabbage, and collard seedlings are hardening off on the porch. We were hoping to get them in the ground, but we can’t till because of heavy rains.
I also bought seeds for the Chinese Pink Celery. It’s all just too exciting!
Gosh darn leeks, The things take forever!
Here’s an article about the sudden acknowledgement as to where the Wuflu came from.
What sparked D.C.’s sudden, dramatic anti-China shift?
Rapid narrative and policy transformation seem related to China’s commitment to Russia.
https://dossier.substack.com/p/what-sparked-dcs-sudden-dramatic
@ Beryl of Oyl:
You know, sometimes I wonder if the long-term plan is to incite a war with China, in which the Chinese would conquer and occupy some part of the US. Obviously, our “leadership” seems to have sold us out to China, and our military has been gutted. It looks like there will be a substantial die-off of our population–which has for many years become more and more debilitated by a poor diet, among other factors.
Are people sincerely surprised?
Let us reexamine Mr. Assange and WikiLeaks, particularly the troves of DNC emails that detailed the criminal, secretive, conspiratorial, unethical, and meddlesome machinations of Soros, Clinton Inc., Podesta (not even the code language and spirit dinner ridiculousness), Wasserman-Schulz, Biden, Obama, the Ukrainian plot, etc., etc.,
The man is locked up in the Tower of London for life for pulling the curtain back on the criminal elite. Forgotten about.
They are emboldened and in total control. There is simply no-need to hide and deny. The legions of expendable dumbasses populating this country will be easily distracted yet again.
Look!! It’s a drag-queen with a weather balloon!
Mike Pompeo who know boasts about his control over President Trump, persuaded Trump not to pardon Assange.
Pompeo wants Assange killed.
Pompeo was also part of the covid task force that did every single thing wrong.
It’s the Potus’s job NOT to be persuaded by bad actors.
How was he supposed to know Pompeo was a bad actor?
Gee, I don’t know, maybe because he is from the
C Y A
We just can’t fix stupid in ‘murica
How did everyone else know?
Maybe he should have DuckDuckGo’ed him. Along with the definition of a vaccine and how long it takes to develop one. If a poor schlub like me knew about Pompeo and vaccine development, why the hell didn’t he?
Too may people will get their rocks off when he dies. Julian does not stand a chance. Power is a jealous mistress that will stop at nothing to get its way.
An excellent synopsis, @ Connie. TRVTH told.
Mr. Kunstler asked: “when will the people of this land finally get pissed-off at the managers who are running everything? And when will the people start to express their new-found rage?”
He suggested by May. I disagree. Nothing is going to awaken the fat, decadent masses of America as long as they can still go to Burger King, buy a greasy meal, go home, sit on their huge asses and tune into the latest reality TV show, NFL game, night network news shows, The View or NBA game.
After what they did to use during the Covid debacle? American idiots did nothing but what their Government Gods told them to do. I doubt the majority will ever awaken.
Mr. Kunstler is dead on correct in that eventually people are going to awaken but we have gone far too long without having to sacrifice or “go without” anything that most people just don’t know what to do with themselves anymore.
The majority knows the system is broken. They can feel that society is collapsing. We all sense it, deep down in our bowels where that “gut sense” exists. That’s why so many of us are on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. That’s why Americans make themselves slaves to financial debt buying big homes that no family of 3 could possibly ever need. They spend their time and wealth trying to find happiness where it doesn’t exist. Most thinking people sense everything is wrong and that we weren’t meant to live this way by the Creator. But the system is so engrained into the psyche that people just don’t know how to get out of it. Because of this, the people won’t awaken until EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM and they have NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
Until then, it’ll be more of the same. Higher prices. Government getting bigger and more deadly. More idiots elected as “leaders.” More shame elections. More plandemics. Get used to it.
Best,
CP
In total agreement. Have people ventured out of their comfort zones and witnessed what constitutes the majority of this country’s populace?
Huge swaths of slobs just trying to get by, get high, and eke out a living next to those just trying to get rich, stay rich, keep the blinders on, eyes on the prize greed. In the middle we have a class of people so wedded to the restraints and chains of their middleclass values that they are entirely unable to think for themselves. Mixed in with them is a group of working class and middle class people who can sniff out bullshit better than a vulture can sniff out roadkill, but still dependent on the status quo to the extent of their livelihood (job, mortgage, retirement) but having no agency and no real seat at the table.
Connie, you said: “Mixed in with them is a group of working class and middle class people who can sniff out bullshit better than a vulture can sniff out roadkill, but still dependent on the status quo to the extent of their livelihood (job, mortgage, retirement) but having no agency and no real seat at the table.”
Love this. Couldn’t say it any better so I won’t try. I am one of the sorry souls that fall into this category. I have taken steps to prepare myself for what is coming. I live debt free. I have a substantial garden. However, I am still dependent upon this system for my existence. How so? In my state, it is water. I can grow a garden as long as the community continues draw and pump clean water into the water system. The water system is entirely dependent upon diesel fuel to run the well pumps. If diesel becomes unavailable or if they shut the water system down, I am dead or I become a wandering vagabond. My paid off house and paid for vehicles are worthless at that point. This is where “having no agency and no real seat at the table” causes me significant anxiety and pause.
I often ask myself “how did I get so dependent upon a system that I didn’t ask for?” Because it is all there is, perhaps? I just don’t know anymore.
Don’t you get rain where you are?
Anyway, who is your LE community… or is everyone saying me, myself and I?
I live in Utah. 2nd driest state behind Nevada. Both of these states sit in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Get plenty of snow in the winter but rain in the summer is not in sufficient quantities to water crops.
Cank, I don’t know where you are but I use water catchment off the roof. 275 gallon totes. That and soaker houses work great. Of course with the chemicals that the mysterious jets are chemtrailing me with that might not be an option. I’ve been considering a shallow point well also. There is water not very deep in the back corner of my lot.
I reside in the 2nd driest state in the good ole corrupt USA, right in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada mountains. We get plenty of rain and snow during the winter months but the freezing prohibits the raising of crops. During the summer months we can go 2 months without a drop of rain. Most crops don’t last 3 days without water.
“how did I get so dependent upon a system that I didn’t ask for?
Because you never had a choice. The nail that stands up is pounded down. The tyranny of ever more efficient beat a sane way of living to dust.
It pains me to say this, but the only one who seems to understand that we never had a choice is Jerek.
The reason I’ll guess why, is his ideas are so far out that Jerek appreciates mediocrity is a hurricane force wind.
Jarek, sorry.
Out of thousands at the Keep Portland Weird fest, I saw one strange person in a a storefront window. A reflection.
Hipsters are a dime a dozen. They are the dew fading on the grass. The grasshoppers who suddenly feel the first cold wind.
It must be terrifying, eh Kdog?
“Out of thousands at the Keep Portland Weird fest, I saw one strange person in a storefront window. A reflection.” – I like that.
“Nothing is going to awaken the fat, decadent masses of America as long as they can still go to Burger King, buy a greasy meal, go home, sit on their huge asses and tune into the latest reality TV show.”
It looked like there was some sanity in today’s peanut gallery but then you go on to say:
“Mr. Kunstler is dead on correct in that eventually people are going to awaken but we have gone far too long without having to sacrifice”
More hopium. There will be no eventually. This titanic ship of state can’t stay afloat long enough for Brownian motion to lead to sanity.
But the titanic ship seems to just keep plowing along, doesn’t it? 31 trillion in debt and we are still printing money to wage illegal wars in foreign lands that pose no danger to us.
I don’t mind a good dose of hopium every now and then. Why I enjoy JHK’s articles.
Of course. Because none of this is about debt, poor monetary policy, climate change, or any of the other bullshit reasons they communicate to the public.
This is about problem, reaction, solution. And the grand solution is CBDCs, a digital ID tied to everything you do, and a digitized global plantation.
When you know the destination, you see the path clearly.
Like the blind men and the elephant, they were partly right but totally wrong; One held ear, another leg; But nobody saw the entire elephant; So one feel’s a fan(ear), another feel’s a tree (leg);
This is about the georgia-guidestones a population of 500M for the “West” ( UK/USSA commonwealth countrys & UK/EU) which will become a ‘human-zoo’.
This is about the Yinon-Plan, aka Greater Israel from Belarus to Iran
CBDC’s are just a means to and end, but not the end; For all practical purpose we already live in a world of digital-money; In China they no longer trade ‘paper or coin’ money, its all done with the smart-phone;
Covid in ASIA ( continent east, west, south ) did something fascinating they shutdown ma&pop shops but kept open the big-boxµ-box fortune10 stores that only accept cashless transactions; Everybody went cashless during COVID, all the ATM’s went away;
If you look how they’re playing the game the west is being disarmed and genocided;
The east has already converted to online-money, social crediting is already there, if your no ‘good’ the door will not even open at the store so says the RFID tag on your mobile; Lot’s asian shops are self-serve self-scan, no need for employees, no fear of theft;
The MSM hysterical Bullshit you enumerate climate, debt, sex choice is largely to drive the west population bat-shit crazy, IMHO its a done deal; In all of Asia women are women, men are men; LGBTQxyz is banned in movies & promotion;
Russia&China got sputnik & sinovac real vax’s; West got mRNA; It’s all a done deal; The west will be happy to suicide once the shelves start going empty, and the elite need not fear that they be blamed because west collapse was caused by climate-change, pedos, tranny’s, & obese cheese-corn eating morons;
“In all of Asia women are women, men are men; LGBTQxyz is banned in movies & promotion;”
So the Lady Boys of Bangkok, who tour the world with their shows, come from where?
“Russia&China got sputnik & sinovac real vax’s; West got mRNA”
The Sputnik vaxx is adenovirus-vector DNA, exactly the same as Astra Zeneca’s vaxx. And people are dropping dead in Russia too.
Spot on, CP. The sheep will only awaken in the way those poor people in Syria and Turkey awakened (if lucky) during the recent earthquake: When they are buried under the rubble.
If I’m buried under rubble I’d rather be dead than awake.
@ Cankerpuss:
If you think about it, the moral and ethical erosion of society has been going on for a very long time. We long ago accepted sexual promiscuity as not merely okay, but almost required. Pornography began to be acceptable–even celebrated–starting in the 50s or 60s.
Back when I was in my thirties, one of my colleagues at work, who was in his late sixties, remarked that most modern advertising depicting women would have been considered pornography when he was young.
One of the things that Nock complained about, back in the 20s and 30s, was that the chief economic impetus in the US was for people to “abandon the economic means at the earliest possible moment, and live by the political means.” In other words, most people were scheming for government money (stolen from their friends and neighbors), rather than intending to work for a living.
Nock also remarked that the central idea of democracy was not so much “equal opportunity,” but the opportunity for equal access to the political means–getting a living from the government after it was stolen from others. You can see how this worldview would be corrosive of manners and morals.
Mark Twain’s book “The Gilded Age” describes how this was already playing out in the 1800s.
My point is that we’ve tolerated and even celebrated all kinds of crap for more than a century, and we’ve allowed it to get continually worse. Maybe it’s not so surprising that we now have drag queen story hour and all the rest. And maybe it’s not surprising that we now have a very large class of people who will do literally anything for money.
And the Catch-22 of it all is that “they” hope we’ll start a civil war so they can invoke martial law and COG, and take absolute control. And the bard’s next line was: … “no direction home”
winner winner.
Don’t for a moment think that all this “national divorce” talk is not a set-up. The elites are playing 4D chess while the plebs are trying to understand the rules to tiddlywinks.
Footage clearly shows the entrapment of the January 6th useful idiot brigades. Gates and doors and barriers opened, being waved and ushered in. To accomplish 2 goals: frame & blame Trump and show his most fervent supporters and any organized political dissenters that the deep state will lock them up and throw away the key, framed or not
That’s just your weather machine talking, Peebs.
Don’t be too smug in your attempt at cleverness Mr. Jarek.
The FBI has done an about face on their lab leak stance, so what makes you so sure that they won’t (or a new director under a new DOJ under a new presidential regime) change their tune about the obvious entrapment of MAGA dummies at the Capitol?
When they finally reveal the roles of Epps and the scaffolding megaphone man?
You do realize that both the FBI and Homeland Security are prioritizing the identification and prosecution of so-called “separatists”? Separatists who are really Trump supporters, conservatives, political dissenters, and Americans resistant to the increased and overwhelming centralized force of our no longer “federal” system.
Nothing like a little encouragement to get them out of the shadows. To get them to organize and call for the “overthrow” of the present system.
What, you think MTG would never do something like that? You have once again placed your faith inn another tent revivalist politician? You did see what a caricature Cruz (is) or has become?
Talks tough in senate hearings, confirmations, etc.
Keeping up appearances is the key to constituent survival.
C’mon maaan!
Thanks for calling out MTG, Connie. All the male conservatives I know are salivating over her “testicular” performances in the current hearings. But, as we know, it’s easy to talk tough when you know it won’t lead anywhere. MTG is Trey Gowdy (remember him) with longer hair.
You’re spot on, Connie.
Those congressional hearings are a joke. Once they get the perp to admit they lied, and they cheated, and they stole, which it seems they are doing, the person should be arrested. Otherwise, it’s just more theater & circus for the masses.
‘They’ have absolute control already. Hopium is more infectious than the gain of faker virus that took everyone’s eye off the ball in today’s article and comments.
I have ZERO sympathy for the 7 in 10 sheep who still trust the fed/corp/gov that rules over a once free people !
How many ass fuckings do they need to REALLY WAKE UP ?
I pray that Jim is right about the pitchforks coming out in May !
Personally have wanted that real insurrection since bldg 7 fell into its own footprint.
Yes……..bldg 7 !
The one that most sheep dont even know about collapsing.
The truth is too enormous to be believed.
Truthers refer to Bldg. 7 as ‘The Building That Knew Too Much.’
Said by the guy who was bamboozled into getting a jab.
On a street in downtown NYC a few years back, a non MSM reporter showed some passers-by a video of the Bldg. 7 collapse. Asked what they had just seen, all replied “a controlled demolition.” Judging by their reactions, nobody knew the event had even taken place.
None of the main players are even at the covid hearings in DC, are they?
“the managers who are running everything?”
I think you meant “the managers who are *ruining* everything”…There, fixed it!
I suspect the “Hate Russia” faction (Biden, Nuland, Blinkin) of the deep state had their turn & struck out. The curtain is falling on their war on Russia…quick, distract & get that curtain down fast before anyone notices the tragedy that is Ukraine, aka 404!
And the “Hate China” faction is stepping up. They started with the Biden revelations of mishandled classified docs & Hunter laptop. Then China spying balloon-gate & now back to the China Virus. All to pass the blame & gin up their next disastrous murder spree…er, war.
Well said. Thus China and Russia are now allied. They are much, much stronger than we are now.
Correct, Jarek. That’s what I don’t get. We all know they want war to get themselves out of the hole they’ve dug themselves into, and to usher in the Great Reset. But why act in a way that makes the war unwinnable? They’ve pushed the world’s two leading military powers into each others’ arms. Maybe we give the neocons too much credit; maybe they are idiots after all.
Maximum Conspiracy Theory? They’re all in on it, including both Putin and Xi.
I don’t say I believe this. But it would explain it.
Before one can build, one must destroy. It has to be done quickly World war would do it quickly – a controlled one!
The crown of America sits in a gutter begging someone to pick it up before the nation collapses— Auron MacIntyre, The Blaze
If crown means leadership positions, there is an open African crown, a European Crown (Russia), an Asian Crown (China) and an Islamic-Arab World crown. (IRAN plus honorable mention of Dubai mirabilis.)
As for leadership of the New World, it defaults to the USA and Brazil.

COUNT ME IN!
The month of May aligns well with the prognostications of Martin Armstrong’s computer program Socrates. But it also aligns with the astrology.
Remember astrology is an energy forecast not predictive.
On March 7 Saturn moves into Pisces and it will be there wrapping up a 30 year cycle. My bet is the beginning of the end of the Clinton/Bush/Obama cabal.
On March 23 Pluto enters Aquarius. It hasn’t been here since 1777. So expect the same flavor: independent, intelligent, unique, idealistic and creative.
Our experience of Pluto in Capricorn – which began in 2008 – we have witnessed the destruction of governmental, financial, educational and medical institutional integrity. Gone. The idea of centralized power along with it.
I said the “idea” which is the beginning. Might take some time but we aren’t going back.
May is when Jupiter goes into Taurus. That is the sign of money, wealth, home comforts, and the throat. It is an earth sign. Unpredictable, rule-breaking, destructive Uranus is also hanging out there.* Jupiter amplifies and makes things bigger.
My guess is the financial system will crater around then. Wealth and home-comforts will be in jeopardy. The reaction will be very vocal (throat) and amplified.
Saturn will provide the motivation to clean up the mess over the next couple years. Pluto in Aquarius will give us a new way of seeing things and the motivation to work together while respecting individuality. See that 1777 vibe coming through.
Armstrong predicts a traditional world war but my bet it is the people world-wide warring against their oppressors and the system.
*earth changes are associated with Uranus in Taurus. Lots of earthquakes.
Last night the sky was clear and presented a beautiful view of Jupiter close to Venus—is that “aligned with”?
Mars was also very clearly visible.
“On March 1st and 2nd, 2023, Venus and Jupiter will align in a spectacular conjunction: an astronomical event where the two brightest planets in Earth’s night sky will be separated by merely half-a-degree, or about half the width of your pinkie finger’s nail when you hold it at arm’s length. Easily visible in the post-sunset skies if you have a clear western horizon, ”
Yep, March 2, post-sunset, in the western sky . . .
httpX://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/venus-jupiter-conjunction/
There is no Venus or Jupiter. Those planets or gods are really UFO’s stationed in this solar system.
With “Made in China” stencilled on them.
“destructive Uranus is also hanging out there.”
I’m more of an astronomy guy rather than astrology but if you say Uranus is hanging out there I’ll take your word for it.
Saint,
Prolapse perhaps?
Pull up your pants!
Dreizen tore Martin Armstrong a new one this past week. He even questioned the very existence of Socrates. Dreizen is obnoxiously correct pretty much every time.
So-crates the AI, you mean?
Yes, I saw that.
Dreizin is a smart little boy, but also an obnoxious little boy who spends far too much time whining and pouting about Alexander Mercouris. He just can’t stay away from it. Even though it is due to Mercouris that Dreizin even has half of his viewers. Dreizin says that he wants to drive away “Mercouris groupies,” but I think he actually is in a “mine is longer than yours” contest with Mercouris.
Now he wants to actually queer Mercouris’s audience on Mercouris and, literally, get those people to send money to him instead. I’d say half his own posts in his comments section reflect his obsession with dumping on Mercouris and encouraging others to do the same.
An obnoxious little ingrate.
Actually, I have come to the conclusion that Dreizin is a Hasbara limited hangout.
If you look at the natal chart of the US, it is interesting that Pluto has returned to its own place. In other words, Pluto was at 27° Capricorn when the US was “born,” and Pluto returned to 27° Capricorn in January of this year. When a planet comes to its own place, it initiates a new cycle in matters pertaining to that planet, which in the case of Pluto is birth, death, sex, joint money (including corporate money and high finance and, of course, the currency), war–particularly nuclear war, nuclear power, and TPTB control systems.
This is exactly what we’ve seen over this long transit. (It is effective over a period of years.) We’ve seen efforts to radically alter social views on matters of birth, death, sex, finance, and methods of control. We’re also seeing a decisive war being waged, which I think is related to all these matters. It’s a “New World Order” kind of thing–as it pertains to the US natal chart.
Pluto will contact 27° again in September and October of 2023, and will make a station at that exact degree on October 11th. I would expect something very decisive to occur on or near that date.
Transiting Mars also returns to its own place on March 6th and 7th (right about now). So we have another planet initiating a new cycle, as it pertains to both war and physical and mental energies, and the tendency to be assertive or aggressive. So this might indicate a forceful move by the US, as it pertains to the war in Ukraine–or somebody (maybe China). People can get hot-headed under Mars transits of this kind, and under Mars transits in general.
Now, here’s another interesting point, re Saturn. Transiting Saturn in the US natal chart is below the Ascendant and in its fall. Has been for several years. This placement of Saturn is in what is called “the obscure sector.”
When you see this placement of transiting Saturn in the chart of a private person, it means that they are in a relatively long period (about seven years) where they are having a rough time. It starts when Saturn contacts the Ascendant and ends when Saturn contacts the fourth house cusp and resumes an upward movement in the chart.
Saturn contacted the US Ascendant in January of 2016. In an individual chart, Saturn’s contact with the Ascendant indicates a “loss of self.” The most essential underpinnings of life go kablooie, and the person must spend the next seven years “reinventing” themselves. I think we can see that this is what happened in 2016.
Saturn will not contact the US fourth house cusp until February of 2026–at which point I suppose we can expect the US to start to get its act together. This is not necessarily a dramatic turning point. It often just shows a person getting their right foot firmly on the bottom rung of the ladder.
Anyway, this seven-year “obscure sector” period is highly formative. We’ve seen TPTB attempt to reinvent the US along highly negative lines, but we also see that the good people are still here, and we may even be a majority. Our doings are also formative.
I should also mention that this whole thing about the placement of transiting Saturn is kind of debatable, since there are (I think) about three versions of the US chart, based on three different speculative birth times. I don’t even remember why I chose the one with the Sagittarius Ascendant.
Re “We’ll soon find out!”
When I use that phrase I am channeling the Cheerios Kid from the 1950s.

New book, ‘Waves Apart’ history of anti semitism in california surf culture.
If you don’t live here don’t surf here. And if you don’t surf here don’t live here. Perfect stasis.
And if you don’t live here, don’t come here. And if you do live here, get out.
I saw many times growing up in So-Cal; You can’t surf here, your not a local;
Local did not mean you didn’t live there, a ‘local’ was somebody in that particular group, aka ‘a gang’
We joke in high-school there were jocks, surfers, wet-backs, and stoners
All were really gangs, the jocks ruled the schools, the ‘surfers’ ruled the beach, and living there and owning a surfboard didn’t give you a ‘pass’
Wetbacks of course ruled the streets where rolling waves of beaners would drive around looking for honkey’s to kick the shit out of,
Of cou there was also nigger-town, but you didn’t go there unless you were a nigger;
Growing up I did get bussed a year to an all black high-school, learned how to not hang out in the gym and never go into the bathroom, how I held my bowels that year I have no idea, but getting mugged in the bathroom was fatal.
I body-surfed as a kid, so nobody really cared; Much of the concern was fucking around on a hard-board and everybody feared the newbie, seriously the solution was just to arrive 6am on a weekday and have that beach to yourself; Generally if you arrived on an afternoon at the beach, you didn’t get more than a few feet from your car before a ‘gang’ approached you and told you to get the fuck off their beach; I remember thinking why didn’t anybody call the cops, but the attitude was ‘fuck this beach’ and these people I don’t want to be near them.
Yes, calif surfing and dreaming, was all just that, a dream that never existed; Going back to the same beaches in my late 20’s I was surprised to see all the women fat&ugly on the beaches
Anti-Semitism? Never gave it a thought, most beach community’s were owned by the Jews, so its not surprising that their spawn owned the beach; I never gave Jews any consideration, dated a lot of Jew & Mormon girls and every one of their parents would say “You know you can never marry our daughter”, again never gave it any thought, I never had marriage in mind, all I knew is they screwed like bronco-bulls; I was blue-eyed & blond and un-circumcised, the forbidden fruit for these girls, same for the Mormons they were saving the magic underwear guys for marriage.
Nice post, congrats to your parents who loved and protected you intact, from the trophy taking medical establishment. Out west, California included, their “get rates” weren’t nearly as high as in the Midwest, where I was misfortunate to be born in the 70s, where their get rates approached and exceeded, in certain hospitals, 90 per cent.
Someone who lived there said the “season” is fairly short – the water is too cold most of the time unless you want to wear a wet suit. The Dream Merchants left that part out. And a wet suit isn’t part of the dream except for people into rubber – and the less said about them the better.
In any case, be bitter if you want but don’t build castles out of it. The Warrior Band or Gang is the basis of all Civilization. In our advanced state (so called), many got left behind and so form gangs – the seeds of renewal!
Our gangs will battle foreign gangs. Given the paltry state of White gangs, most of North America is going to be Hispanic unless the Chinese “gang” or Red Army decide to take it, perhaps flying the false flag of the UN.
How about the old book, Thomas Wolfe’s “Pumphouse Gang”?
And if Bluto was Pluto, and Olive Oil, Venus, what was Pop-Eye? Perhaps the Round -eye Cyclops ?
Who can forget Kirk Douglas capering as he called out, Wine for Polythemus!
“Ukranian Army surrounded, Bakhmut about to fall”-DW
“Bakhmut is of no strategic importance”-General Hodge, CNN
What a kick in the teeth for the loved ones of the tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers expended in the Battle of Bakhmut, dying to hold a city of no strategic importance.
BRH: It takes two to be oppressed: the tyrant AND the victim. Maybe the families of those loved ones should get out on the streets and make some noise.
So you believe it’s all going to blow up over the course of the next two months? I have to say, I’m not so sure about that.
And it is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY important to have an opinion on [aka “know” in the vernacular of the masses] where this covy thing came from.
News Flash! It came from a branch of the global ruling elite.
Now that you “know” the “truth”, what good will it do you?

I would like to use the CIA’s Gaslight weapon they use against the world, turn it around, point it back at them.
” If a conspiracy theory as large as Covid were real, too many people would know about it and it would be impossible to keep them all quiet”.
Fortunately, a leak in the information dam has turned from a pinhole to a gusher. Copious hush money to feed the media dogs is drying up.
Too many people know about the movie stars and professional athletes dropping dead of “sudden” causes. People are pissed off and this summer looks like a perfect time for them to explode.
Interesting. Maybe part of this limited hangout is to turn the attention of the public from the ongoing deadly clot shots to the virus, now long gone.
@liber8tor
Vegas has it 10 to 1 against any “explode”ing.
You ain’t splodin and they ain’t splodin. Still too much to lose, no guts, and no commitment.
“All talk and no fist”.
~toktomi~
A forty or fifty percent increase in death rate makes no sounds in the media. The baseline U.S. death rate is about 0.85 percent per year, or about 2.8 million people per year. Increase that by fifty percent and it gets up to 4.2 million, for 1.28 percent.
If you know or know of about 1000 people on average; friends, coworkers, relatives, old classmates, etc, about 9 per year will die on average in a baseline year. So if that goes up to 13 per year this year, do you notice? Not unless someone tells you about the numbers and trends. Is it a huge concern? Maybe not if most were elderly, but the deaths among the young should be.
The chance of anyone being held accountable for the cause? Zero.
Excellent points. I agree.
And since most people do not notice the uptick in deaths, it is actually counter-productive to tell them “You’re all gonna DIE!”
They can write you off as a crackpot.
@Paula
Writ off works. Has to given that the norm is either to believe or to disbelieve, ignoring the only logical other option.
Maybe.
~toktomi~
That brief analysis with the numbers is helpful.
oilie,
Keep preaching the numbers! A 50% increase sounds like Armageddon by summer until you actually start hammering out the numbers. Then you realize this isn’t going to be noticed until the supply chain really breaks and people can’t get their cheese doodles or their gasoline.
Dimitri Orlov was a good resource to “determine” or guesstimate how the 4th Turning would play out going forward.
A question I have now is whether the ship of state aka US.Gov has a functioning rudder.
And if so, if there are any hands steering it somewhere…
And if this is the case, a question if those steerings hands are foreign hands (international capital/communists?) or domestic hands? i.e. American people/elected officials.
I recall Armstrong predicted the country might break apart. Anything is possible in a fourth Turning.
In this country, I see the elites as becoming ever more powerful as the Remnant dies off. They have been successful in every method of destroying the Remnant. Breaking up, towns, cities, neighborhoods, churches, etc. through “civil rights.” Enticing or forcing women into the workplace in order to destroy families. Tanking the manufacturing base so middle class wages have been plummeting for decades. Pushing abortion and birth control to limit family formation and births. Sending middle and lower class Patriots to die in pointless foreign wars. Demonizing and attacking Christians and Patriots at every turn to scare and demoralize them into falling in line. Importing tents of millions of foreign peasants and white collar workers to drive down wages and steal all of the decent jobs from native born Americans. Destroying the education system so kids learn nothing, are unable to compete with foreigners and end up hating their culture and ancestors. In collusion with drug companies, selling billions of doses of opiate painkillers which are declared non-addictive by government agencies, only to turn out to be the most addictive substances on earth. Then, when these are no longer tenable, simply opening the borders up and allowing China and Mexico to bring in train loads of fentanyl to finish the job. Allowing cheap, poisonous and addictive garbage to pass as “food” and then providing it in bulk to the masses. Creating a surveillance state that allows for zero privacy and would be the envy of Stalin. Using the full force of every alphabet soup agency in the country to harass, threaten and attack any thought or action that deviates from the official narrative. Lying about virtually every event that ever occurs, creating a moral panic and uncertainty which has paralyzed decent people. Creating a legal system that operates as “anarcho- tyranny” penalizing and ruthlessly scrutinizing productive citizens while supporting mass criminality among the thug classes. I haven’t even touched on COVID or stolen elections and I could go on for another month without running out of items.
Pushing abortion and birth control to limit family formation and births.
Maybe on Whites..black, brown, yellow population has gone way up since 1965.
What’s the good news?
Psychopaths don’t care if you know they’re lying. They experience it as dominating you, forcing you to live in their reality, like God. That’s why Biden tells his tall tales over and over, despite everyone knowing he’s lying. The other psychopaths think it’s so cute.
This is more a trait of malignant narcissism, IMO.
And psychologists operating using the principles of malignant narc. abuse have driven this entire charade from day one (in terms of media and messaging).
It is unfortunate that so many do not recognize how this sort of thing works. If they did, much of what we have experienced would never have come to pass.
To witness blatant criminality by government officials at the expense of the people with no consequences is to witness the very essence of a failed state.
For we are a failed state

The American tower of Babel is incapable of ubity. Denial was mentioned. Denial it will be. There is no new-found rage to express. Just the same old bitching and moaning. Everybody is a critic. Nobody has a solution. All the old rage will do is make more broken. School shooters and such.

And yet ubity is actually a word. But of course it made no sense at all as used.
I coach my son’s baseball team. We have 11 eight and nine year-olds. Six months ago, one of the boys was hospitalized for several days with myocarditis and is now being monitored for heart ailments. He is short of breath all the time and might not be able to play this season. Two months ago, an assistant coach on the team and father of another player, dropped dead of a heart attack at 37. He was the most physically-fit dad that I know. He jogged and played sports all the time, but he and his wife had been panicked over COVID and were vaxxed and boosted to the maxx. Last week, a second player on my team experienced severe shortness of breath and congestion. He was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with the flu, then pneumonia. When he didn’t improve, the doctors started looking at his heart. As it turns out, he has significant heart damage and will need surgery. This is all just normal, right?
Also, I wasn’t clear about this, but I know that the two boys were “vaccinated.” No sure about “boosters.”
He was the most physically fit …..
Appearances can be deceiving. Big Strong Fast does not mean long lived.
That was helpful. Thanks.
Yes, lots of people, especially assistant coaches, die at 37 of heart attack.

This is not the first war the US has initiated whose utter barbarity has horrified the world. There was Vietnam, the first (and last) televised war, in which the brutality of the biggest military in the world stomping on peasants, their children, and their water buffalo, burning their huts, herding them into concentration camps, was beamed into homes to be witnessed on TV screens.
That was a blow to US prestige, but yet somehow the US public relations and media hegemony managed to turn it around enough that it all comes as a New and Totally Unprecedented Shock, when this war, spread on Telegram and TikTok is shown to a new generation.
“calling the Vietnam war a mistake is the fundamental equivalent of calling water wet or dirt dirty. . . . Let us not lose sight of what really happened. In this particular ‘mistake,’ at least 3 million people died, only 58,000 of whom were Americans. These 3 million people died crushed in the mud, riddled with shrapnel, hurled out of helicopters, impaled on sharpened bamboo, obliterated in carpets of explosives dropped from bombers flying so high they could only be heard and never seen; they died reduced to chunks by one or more land mines, finished off by a round through the temple or a bayonet through the throat, consumed by sizzling phosphorous, burned alive by jellied gasoline, strung up by their thumps, starved in cages, executed after watching their babies die, trapped on the barbed wire calling for their mothers. They died while trying to kill, they died while trying to kill no one, they died heroes, they died villains, they died at random, they died most often when someone who had no idea who they were killed them under the orders of who had even less idea than that.
That’s the truth. Unvarnished. But such historical truth hurts to consider, for it reminds us that the belief in the U.S.A.’s good intentions is a delusion. The war against Vietnam was immoral, but even that word fails to grasp it. Pure evil is truer. And to consider that war on military terms alone, one must accept the fact the U.S. lost the war despite all its military technology.”
From an essay commemorating the death of David Harris, who went to prison rather than participate in the mass murder of people who lived in grass huts. (Which were burned using Zippo lighters).

Harold Pinter marveled at the power of the US to create reality.
”The United States supported and in many cases engendered every right wing military dictatorship in the world after the end of the Second World War. I refer to Indonesia, Greece, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Haiti, Turkey, the Philippines, Guatemala, El Salvador, and, of course, Chile. The horror the United States inflicted upon Chile in 1973 can never be purged and can never be forgiven.
Hundreds of thousands of deaths took place throughout these countries. Did they take place? And are they in all cases attributable to US foreign policy? The answer is yes they did take place and they are attributable to American foreign policy. But you wouldn’t know it.
It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn’t happening. It didn’t matter. It was of no interest. The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It’s a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.
I put to you that the United States is without doubt the greatest show on the road. Brutal, indifferent, scornful and ruthless it may be but it is also very clever. As a salesman it is out on its own and its most saleable commodity is self love. It’s a winner.”
Perhaps the Iranian moniker for us is not so off: The Great Satan.
Not sure how anyone can deny that, given the behavior of the PTB.
And these days, Hollywood, sports and popular culture are openly embracing satanism, so it’s doubly fitting.
The Beast has two hands, Right or Capitalist and Left or Communist. You and Paula only see the right hand it seems.
Yet you don’t like the American left? But you like the Left in other countries. Doesn’t make much sense but it is what I have come to expect from you “guys”.
What happened in Chile…..
One fearsome, telling fact is that about 1,200 torture and extermination sites were set up by that dictatorship.
I am still able to recall a Chilien Investment banker working at JP MORGAN Latin American Unit in NY. 6 foot plus, looked like a movie actor, smoked alone his breaks, and kept quite in an otherwise extrovert, gregarious group.
Daniel Canel from Argentina, Marie-Christina Helena, Brazil, Raul Ponte – Argentina, Nicolas Rohatyn, head of Unit, USA (who since has gone a long way in the financial world)
Just a re-memory.
quite and quiet, two of the most confused words in all wordum.
Yes. Quite.
and the viet kong were nice?
Show us on the doll where the viet kong hurt you.
He is still clinging to his original propaganda imprinting, like those goslings that followed Konrad around.
I can!
But I also blame LBJ and his crew.
The Communist revolution in Chile was put down. How many would have died if they had won? More. Many more.
Idiot. Always the same banal, wholly illogical excuses.
Just think how bad those deaths would have been without the shots!
Same logic.
Exactimundo.
You’re a Communist, Islander. People deny it exists the way women claim not to be Feminists: With bad faith.
Both triumphed so completely that there’s no reason for them anymore in the popular mind. Of course the hardcore is outraged about this. And they do still exist.
There are communist islands. People deny women the non-discriminatory way they exist, in bad faith.
Both are so successful that there is no reason for them in the public mind. In fact, Hardcore is mad about it, and still is.
You’re an idiot, Jarek.
You can take that to the bank.
We had to destroy the country in order to save it.
May 2023 timeframe is my goal for completing water collection and other prepping items at our family cabin. Recent vision: Burn barrel from my cabin appeared in sequence of an underground flame igniting 3 Oil drums (world wars?).. the backdrop of a stampede involving a bear riding on the back of a tiger and a white stallion (China, Russia and the Middle East?). The next appearance of stallion is alone along a fence at the border of our 3 farm properties where he is peacefully munching on tall grass with me running my fingers through its white tail reminding me of Revelations. Unfortunately I am concerned that the toxic plume from the Ohio train derailment passed over the cabin so there is no peace in retreat from the city until questions about dioxin are answered.

The masses may get mad, but most of them will do diddly-shit. They’re hopeful that things will go back to normal and don’t want to screw themselves by rising up. Also, their significant others probably yell threats into their ears, as in, “If you do anything, you’ll embarrass me, and if you do that, never come back here,”or “you’re only thinking of yourself if you try to fight them. You can’t win anyway, so why bother? Just keep your mouth shut.” The only people who are guaranteed to rise up are the Antifa types, the modern *sturmabteilung* of the American Left. Comforting, isn’t it?
“The masses may get mad, but most of them will do diddly-shit.”
Yes. My mother learned Latin in Catholic school 60 years ago. Very few study Latin or Greek these days. I was reading a while back that when Robert E. Lee and other classically-educated Southerners saw war-clouds on the horizon in the later 1850’s/early 1860’s, the first thing they did was go back and brush up on their Latin and Greek. Can you see now why “the Feds” were so intent on implementing the “West Point” system and destroying classical education?
Antifa are the shock troops for the Establishment. They aren’t going to “rise up”.
I just found a recent podcast interview with Jim that he hasn’t listed on the site, and it’s an interesting talk worth listening to.
It’s on the Coffee and a Mike podcast from 3/1/23.
“FBI Director Chris Wray said, ‘The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan’.”
So which of America’s State Media Networks was the first to then call this gentleman a wacky ‘Conspiracy Theorist!’ What? No one? What are they waiting for?
While the most obvious ‘origin’ of the pandemic might be identified as some lab way off in the Far East… that would not be true. The true origin for this global atrocity is in the minds and the darkest corners of the lost souls of these deviants in lab coats who concoct this kind of garbage in the first place… and who keep on working to develop more and more of this crap. THAT is where the problem is.
“The greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been the United States government….”
The biggest industry left in America is the creation and manufacturing of… ‘misinformation’. What used to simply be called Lies. Or in street language, utter and complete bullshi…
“We’ve seen something that is unforgivable, and that is the weaponization of medical research itself.”
This follows their weaponizations of…
The Media.
Big Tech.
The State Education System.
The Banking and Finance Industry.
The Military on the Home front.
The National Football League.
The Legal System.
The Court System.
The Prison System.
The Energy Industry.
Organized Religion.
‘Social Justice’ (?!) and Race Relations.
Etc.

“How does it feel…to be on your own?”
We have always been on our own. The difference now is that everyone except for the Terminally Woke know it.
Right now there should be a mass movement to shut down all bioweapons research labs.
The fact that there is not such a movement means that the American public is not going to do anything to improve their lot.
The USA actually signed a treaty in 1972 (I think it was) outlawing all chemical and biological weapons.
Signed treaties are the law of the land according to the Constitution.
And yet, here we are, openly breaking the law and killing people and Americans don’t seem to care.
That is, here they are, openly breaking the law and killing people.
Our ruling overlords are scofflaws in every way, and they know we aren’t going to do a damn thing about it.
Most people today are living out their lives in some kind of brain fog. They are barely aware of what is going on around them… and they pay attention to nothing except for their little box of magic dancing pixels in their hand. To borrow a term from the original Star Trek… that little magic box is an ‘Instrument of Obedience!’. The Box is Master, and the holder of the Box is the Slave. Even when they don’t think they are.
People today care more about not losing their Magic Box than they care about losing their personal freedom… and their Country. In fact… you can have anything you want but, ‘Don’t Touch My Box Of Magic Dancing Pixels!’.
People no longer think. They no longer reason. And for the most part, They just don’t care about anything important. They have surrendered their bodies to Big Pharma and the TSA… they have surrendered their children to State Wokeism. They have surrended their sense of Right-and-Wrong. They have severed their connection to things of the Spirit.
They have surrendered to… Everything.
We haven’t seen poison gas deployed on an European battlefield in quite some time; don’t count it out CFNers. What’s old might be new again. Think of the tons of stockpiled phosgene & mustard gas canisters in rusty old Soviet warehouses in forlorn Russian & Ukrainian cities, waiting to be put into action. Gas is an effective killer in trench warfare, and trench warfare is back. Nothing like an exploding artillery shell filled with sweet smelling mustard gas to make a young infantryman think twice before he “Goes over the top.” It depends how desperate the situation gets I suppose.
Actually, the Ukies film themselves mixing chemical weapons and there is at least one video of them dropping them on Russians.
The one I saw showed the Russians dropping and writhing. One fell into the water and they say he drowned.
Of course the OPCW remains unconcerned.
.donbass-insider.com/2023/02/09/ukraine-openly-uses-chemical-weapons-against-russian-soldiers-and-the-opcw-remains-silent/
Ronnie Cummins runs the Organic Consumers Association, which is the only group that I know of who focus on shutting down the bioweapon research labs.
Focus, people, focus!
://organicconsumers.org/
The treaty the US signed in 1972 outlawed both biological and chemical weapons.
Russia claims that the US is the only country in the world that still has stockpiles of chemical weapons.
I believe them.
Even the OPCW believes them.
.opcw.org/media-centre/news/2017/10/opcw-marks-completion-destruction-russian-chemical-weapons-stockpile
Its remarkable that none of the combatant nations in WW2 resorted to gas, even nations in the most desperate straits; altho, Churchill commented in his book about the war years (actually 4 volumes) that if the Germans went thru with Operation Sea Lion, and German troops landed on British shores, that he was ready to deploy gas.
As I understand it, the problem with gas is that the winds can change, so they came up with a treaty after WW1 outlawing poison gas.
They weren’t going to use it anyway.
Ukraine has solved that problem by dropping the gas from drones, while they are far away from any risk of wind reversals.
He used gas against some Jihadis, didn’t he?
Hitler loved England. Churchill hated Germany. And therein laid the ruin of the world. It’s on Churchill and those behind him. On FDR and those behind him. On Stalin and those behind him – the same ones behind Churchill and FDR.
I never knew anything about that, Jarek. But as an officer in the British Army he did employ the Vickers (Maxim) machine gun in NAfrica against the Dervishes, mowing them down by the hundreds — hence the term ‘Whirling Dervishes’. (when hit by a .303 round they spun around before dying)
I’m watching the Children’s Health Defense symposium and Ronnie Cummins reminded me that pesticides are nerve agents developed for war and turned to the war on bugs after WW2.

It’s a great list. I’d add Entertainment Industry/ Hollywood because I differentiate them from the media. Different target markets.

Actually, let me fix that last line:
Only Black DEATHS Matter.
The only value blacks have to the Masters of the Universe is as a weapon to be pitted against the dominant white culture. In the coming Utopia of the Plutocrats, blacks will be picking cotton once again, and shinin’ massa’s shoes – and hangin’ from trees, just like whitey. Equality at last!
I had a dream that the Chinese Army landed in D.C. They walked into Congress and the Whitehouse. They took all 535 Reps, Senators, and staffers, informed them that they were no longer useful idiots and well, eliminated all of them. The good news, the American people who do nothing, did nothing to protect them. The Chinese took all the money that they had sent to this cabal and laughed their way to the bank of China. Americans lined up for their social credit scores. If they got a good one, they could watch NASCAR. Training programs for making phones and TVs were offered to some people. Those who were stupid, and overweight were deemed as useless eaters and were dealt with accordingly! Think the dream can’t come true? Wake up folks, the world hates us. Most of the people in this Country hate this Country!
We are ripe for disaster.
It’s been a long time coming. Doubt it will be that dramatic, though. After the dollar falls, they’ll just stand back and wait for us to all turn on one another, then come in much later and clean up the mess.

A lot of people have been condemned throughout history, including heterosexuals, while a lot of civilizations have condemned themselves, like to collapse. LOL
And if it is accepted and made legal? Then they have to do even more extreme things to get the thrill of transgression, which apparently Islander adores.
Transgression could even include many of the comments from Jarek. What the hey. Welcome to the club.
Yes, to men of your ilk, Truth is the greatest obscenity and transgression.
You have a strong serve but I get the best of you in the vollies. Your lies can’t strand up to the rough play. Truth can. Truth is on my side because I’m on its.
There is only one truth, and that is Jarek’s, even if it’s not truthful in its entirety because when we send forth the way things get set it is nevertheless a conical dream for the sake of the flows of time and crystalline makeshift.

Jarek is a liar.
He loves lying.
I don’t get how a TV performance is some sort of kompromat that can be used to blackmail Zelensky.
Blackmail is only useful if you have secret evidence on someone. A TV performance doesn’t make it as “secret”. And there is nothing considered shameful today, at least by the media and Establishment.
In the US, where men in dresses are feted and promoted, and a kleptomaniac with a puppy fetish is put in charge of a nuclear energy agency, what the hell could possibly be used for blackmail today?
The president of the USA has been caught on camera sniffing and fondling multiple women and children.
There are videos of Podesta abusing children.
What the hell could be used for blackmail?
“what the hell could possibly be used for blackmail today?”
I think it needs to be Epstein-network-level stuff. See Whitney Webb.
Although Astrid Stuckelberger mentioned it in her early talk on the Planet Lockdown site. She said men would be put in a room with a minor and told that if they didn’t abuse the child, the child would be killed. The abuse is then filmed, and the coerced perpetrator becomes an asset. And so the world goes round … That Dutch banker-whistleblower whose name I forget, said the same thing, only worse. In addition, they pay people loadsamoney and threaten their families.
I don’t know the details of the Podesta thing, only what I’ve read on here. But I presume it depends on who wants who ‘exposed’. If the PTB don’t want you exposed to a wide audience, the MSM will not expose you, and the fact-checkers will fact-check away the internet allegations.
You nailed it. No matter what utter depravity you are engaged in, if TPTB want you, you are golden.
On the other hand, if they want you gone, you are called a “rapist” for not using a condom, (Julian Assange), or a “pedophile” for computer sex (Scott Ritter).
John Podesta and Hilary Clinton are two people who I believe can credibly be accused of utter depravity and child murder, but they are both paraded in front of the public as fine, upstanding, patriotic citizens, worthy of much tax money funneled to them.
I see that Z’s public stuff shows he probably has a closet-full that can’t be shown on TV. Stuff from a private collection.
Being in a film like that (or those, since there are more than 1) shows the world he was in.
And we now know that no one gets into office without the blackmail & coercion videos. No one.
I am guessing it’s pedophilia, or sick rituals where someone ends up dead, going by the testimonies of so many formerly trafficked people.
I will add: Paula’s point that this stuff is now normalized to the point where it’s either “cool” or accepted way to behave in public still on some level pretends to vilify pedophilia, but the satanic ritual thing is being pushed for a reason. It’s also being normalized. They are rushing to normalize everything they do in secret, because they know at some point it’s coming out.
They are pretty sloppy about it though, but I suppose we are entering the phase (referenced by a comment above) where they believe they’ve won so they don’t really care what comes out.
I have no doubt that if Z were shown sacrificing a baby it would still be accepted by the Woke Jacobins.
Like Paula says, they already accept Biden’s obvious pedophilia, and his son’s depravity.
I agree with you4 normalization point, Mary, and for sure they are upping the ante with the satanic rituals as part of normal group gatherings, whether at the Grammy’s or the Super Bowl.
Add to that Spain’s legalization of bestiality, unless the animal requires vet care after the assault.
And Z is sacrificing hundreds of thousands of his citizens at the behest of the US/NATO, and he is celebrated for it.
Won’t be long now until the Last Ukrainian is gone!
Paula, I think GA’s implication (my understanding) is that these types of public performances are probably the tip of the iceberg of what someone like Zelensky has been up to, and privy to.
Interesting series by Johnny Vedmore at Unlimited Hangout on the sordid and intel-soaked and very dangerous world of the night club scene in London in the 1950s an d early’ 60s. “intersectionality” of spies, sexual blackmail, drugs, the meeting of the underworld and the overworld.
I can imagine relevance to the Kiev scene—think Bidens and other creepy oligarchs gathering in one place to have fun and make illicit deals. We already know some of Hunter’s proclivities. And we know some of Volodomir’s possible “services” combining sex, drugs, money, and “statecraft.”.
Just riffing on what GA might have been alluding to. .
In his excellent book, “The Crash Course” (Revised edition), Chris Martenson draws a distinction between “Problems”, which lend themselves to “Solutions”, and “Predicaments”, which cannot be solved, but only managed for better Outcomes. What Outcome is the US federal government seeking by managing all of the current ClusterFuck Predicaments by lying about literally everything?
An abundance of Energy flowing into an Open System results in progressively greater organisation and complexity in the System. Contrariwise, Entropy and Energy leaving the System results in progressively greater disorganisation and collapse.
Because of the phenomenon of Exponential Growth (or decay) the Growth or the Collapse of a System would like progress at first very slowly and, perhaps, imperceptibly, and then quickly mushroom before anyone can react.
Chris Martenson
What Outcome is the US federal government seeking by managing all of the current ClusterFuck Predicaments by lying about literally everything?
Easy. Maintaining power. When failing governments (like our own) can do absolutely nothing else, they resort to doing the only they can possibly still do. Try to maintain power by whatever means necessary, almost always involving lying about everything. Failure becomes unthinkable, so “all other options are on the table.” Funny how often we hear that phrase now, eh?
The exponential growth comment reminds me of the old story that Albert Bartlett (among many others) used to tell about the stadium filling up with water one drop per minute for the first minute, but doubled every minute thereafter, to illustrate the power of the exponential function. Hint: it takes less than an hour, with a shockingly short response time from “oh shit!” to “too late!”
https://johnenglander.net/how-long-to-fill-a-soccer-stadium-with-water/
The old Guangzhou, China train station used to have one lone squat toilet in the men’s bathroom. It was always overflowing with shit and piss. The cleaning staff simply gave up on trying to keep it clean, so they just turned on the water and let it overflow.
If the amount of shit doubles every fourth crap, then why didn’t the entire train station fill up with shit after 50 minutes?
Pucker: I see a new maths problem for the next round of SATs – if anyone still does them.
“If the amount of shit doubles every fourth crap, then why didn’t the entire train station fill up with shit after 50 minutes?”
I love riddles!
Obviously, the train station was on a hill and everyone knows that shit flows downhill. Most of us live at the bottom of the hill.
LOL! Leave it to the Pucker to come up with such original thinking based on a real life example.
Hereward, I have read that the SATs are racist, so I doubt they still exist.
Puck,
Well, we need more information. If there are four craps conducted each minute each a weight of one pound and 4 cubic inches in volume, and and then the crap doubles, I would estimate that the entire city of guangzhou would be covered in crap to the depth of…what, one mile?
They still exist but have been made infallible, spelled “unfailable.”
Of course none of this accounts for the standard population of shit-eaters in any given local population (usually not less than 10%) or the subsequent effect of all their increased shit eating on their resulting compounded shit production – a second order (and increasing thereafter, n+1) exponential. We have super computers at all the national labs working the problem as I speak, but as one might guess, it’s causing quite a shitstorm.

Speaking of bioweapons released on the public, does anyone remember the anthrax shipped through the mail after 9-11?
It caused mass hysteria, much more than the twin towers did.
We had people coming to the ER every time they saw a white powder.
Finally one woman came in with a story that sounded more plausible, so another nurse (the one that died last week) and I went by the book.
We set up the decontamination shower outside, had her strip and bagged her clothes, then after she showered put her in a room with negative air flow.
Then we called the cops to have them come and pick up the powder to have it analyzed. They said they didn’t do that, call the FBI.
So we called the FBI and they were completely uninterested. They told us to call the police.
Remember, the story being told at the time is that Iraq was shipping a bioweapon through the US mail and killing Americans.
But the FBI was not interested and refused to have anything to do with the case.
Hmmmmm.
BUT a month later, when the US invaded Afghanistan, a co-worker’s FBI husband was shipped over to Afghanistan to “investigate”.
Investigate what? She was unclear. When I pointed out that “Federal” was not “International” everyone screamed at me.
“We were attacked!!!!”
Yeah, so? We were attacked with anthrax also, and the FBI didn’t give a shit about that.
Instead of passing a law to shut down the bioweapon labs, Congress used the anthrax attacks to pass the law that created the “Emergency Use Authorization” status that they used to push the untested GMO clot shots on the US public.
And they got away with all of it.
I have a fb friend who went to the Jan. 6th rally in Washington, DC.
Her sister-in-law called the FBI and told them, so agents showed up at her house in Washington state to question her.
The same FBI that didn’t give a shit about people potentially being exposed to anthrax was able to send two agents to a woman’s house 3,000 miles from Wash, DC, to question her on her attendance at a fair election rally.
I like how you connect the dots, Paula.
All of that is insane. I remember the anthrax scares. Although for some reason, I didn’t buy in or worry much about it. Same with ebola.
I guess once I figured out 9/11 was a false flag I realized that they are attacking their own people.
Waco didn’t help in that regard, either.
In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country

“The four-track collection centers around the theme of the Branch Davidian religious sect and their Waco retreat. The title of the EP refers to a vocoder-processed and slowed voice sample used on the third track, which repeats ‘come out and live in a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country.’ This line was spoken by Amo Bishop Roden after whom the second track is named, in an interview for the Mysteries, Magic & Miracles TV series. Amo Bishop Roden, the widow of David Koresh rival George Roden, reoccupied the Waco site after its destruction, sleeping in a ditch near the property until federal authorities who had been keeping her away finally abandoned it.” ~ Wikipedia
Uh.. they’d send agents from the local office.
And lead case agents typically travel. Think of it as a lead salesman who racks up frequent flier points to the millions.
Not hard to believe at all
Way to misinterpret what I said and to miss the point.
Wasn’t it Dr Meryl Nass who discovered that Gulf War Syndrome was caused by the anthrax vaxx?
I think so. They lined up the soldiers and walked along and shot multiple injections into their arms.
Every 4th soldier or so got extra, but none of them knew what they were getting.
I know a lot of pissed off veterans because of that.
JK is disparaging Ukraine once again. Au contraire, Sean Penn has visited Ukraine many times meeting Zalenskyy and has said if people were more like the courageous, benevolent Ukrainians the world would be a better place.
The war is benefitting America and its allies via disaster capitalism. Besides, fifty billion or so is only fiat currency anyways, meaningless in context of the morass of monetary chicanery.
I am unvaxxed and relaxed. Thank you very much.
Dylan [his name pinched from Dylan Thomas – a real poet] is not the Bard. Joni Mitchell says he’s a plagiarist at best.
Sean Penn hanging out with Zelensky? The two have a lot in common, they are mediocre entertainers and utterly unqualified to speak anything about history or politics, they are both ignorant and uneducated. What a disaster that one of these two clowns happens to be a head of state. This twitter link was posted a few pages up but is so good that it bears a repeat posting – maybe you missed it?

Sounds like one line of lyrics to a potentially-cool song.
“if people were more like the courageous, benevolent Ukrainians the world would be a better place.”
Is that why Ukraine was recognised as the most corrupt country in Europe, even before 2014?
I guess he missed the video Night Owl posted of Zelensky’s R-rated movie, above.
I agree with Joni.
He fed off the genuine folk movement and genuine folksingers and was marketed to a larger pop audience as a folkie.
First a Jew, then a Zionist, then a Christian Fundamentalist.
Actually just a clever Midwestern boychik.
The Ralph Lifshitz (aka Lauren) of popular song.
That’s my take.
As far as I can tell, Dylan never “borrowed” from Jewish musical traditions nor incorporated in his music any elements of that tradition.
So much insanity going on… the activity masks, through a social denial mechanism, the fact that actually nothing (!) is happening.
The civilization teeters on a precipice, its extremely short-term fundamental sustainability already just about played out, and the human response to the situation is a frantic, nutty, contradiction-laden hyperactivity intended to disguise the deeper thing, the irrational denial.

Glad to see the name of good ol’ “Uncle Al” Bartlett (RIP) invoked on this blog. He’s generally credited w/ uttering one of the world’s greatest truisms: “Humankind’s greatest shortcoming is its failure to understand the exponential function.”

‘Where are these islands?’
‘On an old map. When there was ice. Maps I know you know about. Between where the Ross Ice shelf and the Shackleton Ice shelf used to be. There are islands in the sea. The islands were seeded with green one hundred and fifty years ago when the empire was young…

Daisyworld?

Plymouth Rock has been moved multiple times, and was once broken in half.
LOL
Whoopsie.
Then “They” sprayed it with chemtrails. ” And now you know the rest of the story.” Paul Harvey
“Located in Pilgrim Memorial State Park on the shore of Plymouth Harbor, this simple glacial erratic boulder has become a world famous symbol representing something different to each person who looks at it. Although no historical evidence exists to confirm Plymouth Rock as the Pilgrims’ actual steppingstone to the New World, the boulder was identified as this spot in 1741, 121 years after the arrival of the Mayflower.”
https://seeplymouth.com/listing/plymouth-rock/
“In 1774, the rock broke in half during an attempt to haul it to Town Square in Plymouth. One portion remained in Town Square and was moved to Pilgrim Hall Museum in 1834. It was rejoined with the other portion of the rock, which was still at its original site on the shore of Plymouth Harbor, in 1880. The date 1620 was inscribed at that time. The rock is now ensconced beneath a granite canopy.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Rock
And they all LOLed without even checking to see if K-Mao was fibbing like a good Communist.
Too bad, so sad.
Was the rock moved a bit during transition? Who knows, who cares. Climate is complex. Surest bet is no one understands it well, not the rabid warmists, and not the simplistic deniers of anthropogenic effects on climate either. Is land falling, or sea rising in any current location? I don’t think anyone has a great handle on it.
Land is falling in parts of the UK. The north (Scotland) is rising by minuscule amounts, with the south-east sinking (again, by minuscule amounts) as a result of the slow bounce-back following compression during the last Ice Age.
LOL…

You neglected to mention the shoreline was rebuilt in the 1920s. At that time the rock was removed and warehoused to be replaced at water level after the shoreline was sculpted.
At high tides the rock is under water. I’ll guess more than it was in the 1920’s.
In the story of the future I am writing, land at the South Pole is not yet green because ice took so long to melt. Some trees on the Southern Ocean coast of Antarctica are a few hundred years old because land became exposed quickly,
Desperate now, K-Mao.
And it is hilarious.
Perhaps if we go back 1 hundred million years you will be right.
You can model it on your computer.
Was this shoreline moved also, K-dog?

Not desperate. I figured mountains near the pole would stay barren rock longer yesterday.
I do mess around with modeling. I asked chatGPT where to get weather data and generate Javascript to read the data. I might make a heat wave predictor that shows when the equator becomes impassible.
Wet bulb temps already get close to the fatal limit at the equator. Neglecting feedback, warming is linearly related to CO2 concentration for small changes in concentration. Anybody who fucks around with modeling knows what I am talking about. Piecewise linear.
CO2 concentration by itself can make the equator uninhabitable. It is a simple calculation. CO2 concentration increases faster than it ever has. China has the same middle class population as America now. That has something to do with the acceleration in concentration don’t you think?
Even four degrees of warming can be considered a small change since 32 degrees C is 305.15 degrees above absolute zero. I have messed around with the math b4. Global warming is indeed happening in lockstep with CO2 concentration.
Meaning in a few years parts of the equator will become uninhabitable with certainty. It is not a matter of speculation.
What happens at any one spot is a crap shoot of weather patterns. But somewhere heat will make real estate worthless.
If you don’t believe me you don’t know what multiplication and division means.
Mary Queen. If the sea rise was a foot you could not tell 100 feet away in a picture.
Ridiculous comparisons. Variation with tides produces a swing much greater than any claimed increase in sea level by anyone so far.
You are absolutely nuts.
” If the sea rise was a foot you could not tell 100 feet away in a picture.
Ridiculous comparisons. Variation with tides produces a swing much greater than any claimed increase in sea level by anyone so far.”
+++++++++++
Both of these comments are silly.
1. Doesn’t matter what you supposedly can “see” 100 feet away. It matters more, what you can see if you get close to a bridge or something where actual historic high-water levels are indicated. One sea rise argument is that the rise is shown in the underground seeping of seawater into fresh water. I don’t know where that is being measured. Another sea rise argument is that the rise is shown in “extreme” weather events, not routine ones. Such as storm surges being worse, etc. But the actual data do not seem to support this contention.
2. A ridiculous statement. The sea-level rise argument would be based not on the size of swings but on the level of the highest flood tides—are they getting higher. I don’t know that there are data supporting this. I don’t see any difference here but I am not taking scientific measurements. It’s true that a WW2 bunker that used to be in the dunes in the 1950s is now far out in the water. But there are other forces affecting south shore beaches than supposed sea level rise. The whole sandy coastline is dynamic. See graphic:
httpX://vineyardgazette.com/news/2023/01/26/norton-point-breach-proves-again-nature-charge
Ok, fine, I’ll wade into this sea level rise thing here…
(Mind the jellyfish!)
But first, some background…
Some years ago, on Peak Oil Barrel, someone– Javier– who seemed to know a fair bit about climate or modeling or something like that, used to argue with many about climate change and how or why it’s not happening, or not happening in the way that is predicted, or not anthropogenic and/or somethings to that effect.
Now, my position I took then and still take today is that I don’t know, but global-industrial civilization, at least as it is, appears to be killing the planet’s ecosystem(s) (it’s carrying capacity– looks over toward NightOwl), so whatever can change it or slow it down sufficiently, or stop it seems worth considering.
I even posted a comic that has a guy in it saying something like, “But what if it’s a hoax and we create a better world for nothing?” That was my position in a nutshell.
Anyway, during the course of Javier’s arguments mainly with those who knew enough to take the arguments on, I came up in part with the point of how the change in water’s state from a solid to a liquid can be relatively immediate; from just before 0C to just after and it’s a liquid.
Now of course it takes a lot of ice a lot of time to melt, but the hotter a planet gets, the faster the ice melts and there may be some tipping points along the way that we may be unaware of or at least less appreciative of…
It’s like Albert Bartlett’s popularized point about the exponential function.
That said, while I’m sitting on the fence, let’s say my feet are dangling on K-Chien’s side, all the while that Keeling Curve keeps going up.
Reality can have a nasty habit of upending itself overnight– and all of us like ants in a mudslide along with it.
Feelin’ lucky?
One more thing is that the minimization of this anthropomorphic climate-change/global-warming issue (to say nothing of other nasty anthropomorphic effects on Mother Earth) might help play into the hands of the likes of the WEF in their possible attempts to keep this civilizational monster machine going a little longer in order to complete their questionable agendas for it and by implication, for us.
Careful what you wish for.
Re Plymouth Rock,
Today storm surge combined with high tide (close to spring tide; full moon is in three days) flooded out a local intersection. I plowed on through in my ’96 Outback to get to my class.
Lady at class observes: “Now, the water along Beach Road is always high!” [[eek wah wah sea level rise]]
Me: “No, it is not. It is exactly the same as always. I walk there just about every day. [True]The breakwaters are exposed at low tide and covered with water at high tide.”
Lady: [Silence]
Me [thinks}: I guess I broke a code . This lady probably does not have a clue as neap/spring tides and the phases of the moon.
“‘Where are these islands?’
‘On an old map. When there was ice. Maps I know you know about. Between where the Ross Ice shelf and the Shackleton Ice shelf used to be.”
The hund once again barks furiously at the base of the wrong tree. Here’s some fresh weather news copy pasted in from a climate site. Those ice shelves aren’t going anywhere and are growing as we argue on CFN.
“Past Four Months On Antarctica Were Second Coldest Nov-Feb On Record
Following Monday’s -58.1C (-72.6F) –the lowest global temperature in February 2023, usurping the historically frigid -57.9C (-72.2F) logged at Oymyakon, Siberia earlier in the month– the Dome Fuji Base, Antarctica dropped even lower on Tuesday, posting a very frigid -60.2C (-76.4F) — the Southern Hemisphere’s first sub -60C of 2023.
More impressively, February at the South Pole Station averaged -41.1C (-42F), which is -0.7C below the multidecadal baseline.
This makes the past four months the second coldest Nov – Feb on record (-35.6C/-32.1F) after 1999-2000 (-36.6C/-33.9F).”
.
I’ve heard that some of the effects of ‘anthropogenic climate change theory’ are wilder fluctuations of all sorts. Droughts, temperatures, forest fires, deluges, hurricanes and so on.
At the same time, we have to ask ourselves how we’re living on this planet, the only home we have in the deadness/deadliness of outerspace– and how casual we want to be about it and/or if or how much we want to play ‘Large-Scale SocioGeoPolitiTechno Russian Roulette’ with our lives on it.

“If you think the FBI thinking ‘there is something here is’ insignificant.
I am at a loss for words.
And it is all over the news. Not because of me.
And I am not Caelan. Are u?
I have a good grasp on internet security. The best thing to do is not to use it.
Otherwise don’t post who you are.
how did I do this?”
For a decade or more JHK has been doing the Chicken Little ‘sky is falling…soon’ routine.
Thus far it has stubbornly refused to appear but this post is the first to specify something so exact.
The Great Day will be in May, you say?
Like the weather, tomorrow will be same-same as today;
In the future James will release a book “COVID”, no doubt;
JHK seems to have tapped the ‘fear-porn’ industry decades ago, I have been following this blog and reading his books forever;
Don’t see an end of the world this time, or tomorrow; Like always team-death has 1,000’s of fresh faces to replace the old that need to be replaced; Just like Orlov say’s a good indication of a sick dying society is when the old don’t relinquish power to young;
Most of the old farts that caused all of our modern problems will be gone in say +5 years, and the MIC/MSM/MED mafia can bring out fresh faces with fresh hope;
Lastly the reset is ONLY about one thing; In the west $2 quadrillion USD of derivative insurance policy ( so called financial derivatives ) has been written which is how they can play stock-market at 100x of world GDP; When the financial system implodes ‘owners’ cannot make good on the insurance claims, ergo all policy holders MUST DIE; So just like magic the West will be genocided and we enter the century of the east, and I have no doubt that in 100 years they’ll genocide the east and rinise&repeat;
Remember that MAO&STALIN, modern Russia & CHINA are all product of Rockefeller, aka big-oil, now big-medical;
Rothschild to Rockefeller to now Gates carefully manage the world on 50 year plans; I remember years ago a family member married into a family of billionaires and the matriarch once took me aside and said, “Do you ever wonder how we can finance all of our Grand-Children 10’s of millions a year, forever?”, she went on to say that there were actuarial companys in London that Planned out +50 years planned wars and knew exactly where to buy&sell land & companys; Ergo the trust family’s can trust that all future generation will always keep their trusts; This family to $100M per child at 21, an $10M per year for life, and is was for all children by blood procreated on family tree;
Fear porn! I’ve been exposed to it all my life, but it was the German version. Germans have done very well in past centuries in producing not only very good “regular” porn but also in creating the hellish and nightmare conditions required for making good “fear porn”. Germans were the source of the Protestant Reformation that gave Europeans some of the best reasons to hack their neighbors to pieces as in the 30 Year’s War. First you squabble over what words mean and then out come the swords and battleaxes to promote Christ’s love.
Looking back at it all, I did find that the fear porn I heard as a child was more interesting and exciting than was stuff like the tv adventures of Captain Kangaroo or Woody Woodpecker. When I saw the Germans losing all the time on tv and in the movies I was rooting for the the good guys, for the USA. US kids growing up in the 50’s reflected what we saw on tv and learned in school, we assumed that since the good guys won that everything would be fine from here on out. That humanity would never experience another hell like WWII and we would have non stop comfy suburban living from the 50’s onward to forever. Western utopia had arrived and fear porn would never be a part of our lives anymore.
But then people like JHK show up and rain on our parade, that a third commotion is on the way. Some of my relatives in Germany experienced not an end of *the* world but at least an end of *their* world, and it happened very fast. They were doing nicely in an upper middle class home one day, and the air raid the next day turned it all to rubble. In the months and years to follow, they worked like mules, were ill fed, poorly clothed, and stinky.
The the primary warning I received from my childhood exposure to fear porn is that it can all end in just a few minutes, and that in the years to follow, you won’t be enjoying life at all, you’ll just be surviving and living in very physically painful and uncomfortable surroundings.
Could the USA experience such a change and yet continue on as Germany did after WWII? I’m not sure. We might be so soft and so helpless that we just disintegrate into chaos and mental illness. When the dollar is rejected for use in international trade, we’ll be forced to live on the remaining scraps of stuff we have left here, our industries have been shipped off to Asia, we can’t even make our own shoes and clothing anymore. Given our past history of ceaseless violence and warfare, and along with everyone owning guns in the USA, we might simply become “ungovernable” and our former royalty and Rockefeller elites might leave because there are too many angry and dangerous people looking for them and the USA is no longer a place they’d enjoy living in.
“and then out come the swords and battleaxes to promote Christ’s love.”
Wasn’t Constantine the first to do that?
The Buddhists didn’t fight back against the Muslims in India. So what happened? The monastaries were burned, the monks killed, the nuns raped, etc.
What did you think would have happened.
Pacifism (for the plebes) is part of the Imagine world.
I merely pointed out that German Protestants were not the first to put Christ on a battle flag.
Still, if there hadn’t been so many Christian (and/or ‘Christian) kings feeling existential guilt for the blood they spilt, we wouldn’t have so many lovely cathedrals to admire, would we?
“Germans were the source of the Protestant Reformation that gave Europeans some of the best reasons to hack their neighbors to pieces as in the 30 Year’s War. ”
For a different, and IMO more thought-provoking, take on the historical significance of the Thirty Years’ War, take a look at the latest from Laurent Guyenot:

Personally I think Americans will figure out how to make shoes when they don’t come from China anymore.
Hey, we might go back to shoes that you can actually resole when the soles get a hole but the uppers are still perfectly good. We might train up a few cobbler shops—-or start a few shoe repair franchises.
Hmmm, that looks to me like an idea with legs . . .
“Like the weather, tomorrow will be same-same as today.”
About the weather, maybe, maybe not. The Eastern Pacific has been cooling for a few years now and record cold and weird storms are obvious everywhere. Right now I’m curious about the global warming alarmists, and I do know they exist in California. There’s an AGW alarmist somewhere at this moment very frightened and confused. They are trapped inside homes in Southern California. San Bernardino Country National Weather Service a few days back issued their first ever blizzard warning. Here we have people snowed in under massive drifts, emergency help still unavailable, and yet for years they’d been worrying about the ice caps melting and the end of all snow everywhere. The cognitive dissonance the human mind is capable of is remarkable.
The climate is changing and getting stormier and colder. This is exactly what happens during grand solar minimums. These events happen like clockwork via the solar cycles, and we are entering one. The last major grand solar minimum happened during the Maunder Minimum, when the Thames River in England was frozen so solid and for so long that the affluent were out having fun on the ice and even having fairs.
Thanks for that dollar shop version of David Icke.
Quit mumbling mumbai! I can’t hear you.
The sky is falling in the form of rain, snow, fog, sleet and so on, as well as in the form of a thousand knives and the death of a thousand cuts.
I have not seen a mention of this anywhere; So I think it must be recorded; You all note that recently Snowden made a point that “energy dept’ said covid was leaked; Ok, but he was obviously mis-directing as he meant DOE which is called “Dept of Energy”, this is critical;
They are security for all Nuclear under USA watch, that includes bombs and nuke-plants; DOE security is retired Navy Seals & Delta-Force guys about 35 years old and all they do is train; They’re the best, in comps of sniper vs sniper they beat all teams; Now here’s my point, DOE is also security for bio-weapons; So for DOE to say COVID escaped from a BLS4 lab means they ‘failed’ as they have never lost a nuke or bio-weapon;
This is a massive mea-culpa on their part that is being ignored;
Now surely wuhan was making covid bio-weapons but so were the other +70 USA bio-weapon labs worldwide; The initial COVID release was IRAN, MILAN-Italy, US-MIL midwest ( pre wuhan mil-games ) all Aug/Sep-2019; Of course also the wuhan wet-market;
IMHO the so called ‘escaped’ bio-weapons were just sent FEDEX to CIA contractors say in MILAN/FLORENCE where they were released into the chinese factory working community that all free-lance sex with older Italian men; Returning to CHINA for ‘spring-fest’ Jan2020 meant that COVID went everywhere in CHINA, also mega-tons of old Italian men died of COVID post NOV2019;
Iran same deal, COVID wiped out much of the GOV a very viscious strain;
Like Spanish flu of 1918, which originated by US-MIL at midwest bases, COVID SEP2019 was dispersed by MIL going to WUHAN games in OCT2019, which blewback west for cover;
It must have occurred to many that the sudden revelation – from the soi-disant ’17 Intelligence agencies’™ ® – that the consensus now (thanks a heap!) is that covid a Chinese lab escape might be an attempt at misdirection from those (Fauci funded) biolabs the Russians found in the Ukraine in March last.
That SMO is nearing completion, with as little destruction to non combatants as feasible – somewhat unlike the invasions of Iraq when infrastructure such as water, power and communications were the first targets for destruction.
When there’s been time for proper evaluation of what they found in them, there is going to be a lot of angry people needing to be distracted by “look over there!”.
Fun to be alive in interesting times 2023.
On March 1st, after 3 years, the Hong Kong government finally rescinded the mandatory Covid 19 face mask requirement. But, nevertheless, around 90% of Hong Kong people continue to wear voluntarily surgical face masks and N95 masks in public.

Would I get “cancelled” if I wear a pair of women’s pink lace silk panties on my face in the subway to protect myself from airborne viruses and pernicious facial recognition software?

I think John McAfee beat you to it – although the thong he buried his face in was black, if I remember correctly…
If you want to follow McAfee, go ahead, but I’d suggest you leave something more substantial than a trail fo bread crumbs.

You too?

Same here. Prolly some new MBA’s marketing plan to increase sales.
I see that McAfee has allied with Adobe. If you’ve ever clicked ‘yes’ on a “free” Acrobat update you’ve probably downloaded malware that triggers the emails. I had to do an update for work a few weeks back and it automatically tried to upload McAfee during the process. I went back and deleted it, but I doubt I got all the malware out.
I also regularly get these windows opening up that say, “Verifying Microsoft Outlook” or something like that. I don’t have Outlook.

At this point, why does it even matter that Wray issues some garbled, mealy-mouthed statement about the “origin of the pandemic”? Since the pandemic is a fraud anyway, it just logically follows that the origin of the pandemic is the imagination of someone or some group, such as Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, and/or others.
The argument over whether or not some new virus originated in a lab or in a “wet market” is obviously just a ruse to support the falsehood that there actually is a new killer plague virus loose among humanity.
It seems to me that a fake pandemic, declared on the basis of a change in the definition of “pandemic”, requires the invention of an imaginary “novel coronavirus”. If they can get you arguing over the wrong thing, they don’t have to worry about more people waking up to the obvious.

Submitted without comment.
Yes, the division of and non-assimilation of the races and cultures has been successfully engineered over the course of decades.
Germans love their pork and beer. Muslim are forbidden to imbibe these and despise those that do. How exactly would you assimilate Muslim immigrants to Germany?
A better question: Why would you even try?
You’re assuming an unnatural unity that doesn’t exist, which marks you as a pop Communist.
What a coincidence. Just recently I watched a video produced by a Muslim woman living in Ireland who stated the Irish, out of a sense of welcoming & cultural goodwill, should henceforth refrain from indulging in traditional pork dishes like Limerick Ham & Crubeens, also Guiness Stout ale, and any other beer or ale. After all, its only fair.
If not, maybe they’ll drive an 18 wheeler through one of their street fairs or markets.
Think Mary will try to solve the contradiction or just insult me for bringing it up?
“Yes, there’s hatred against us. Why? In 1958, the US gov’t faced– we know from internal records– 3 major crises in the world– North Africa, Middle East, and Indonesia– all with oil producing states, all Islamic states. President Eisenhower [who coined the infamous concern for the military industrial complex, and is subject of an excellent documentary film, The Fog of War], in an internal discussion, observed to his staff that– I’m quoting it now– there’s a campaign of hatred against us in the Middle east, not by gov’ts, but by the people. The National Security council discussed that question and said yes, and the reason is, there’s a perception in that region that the US supports status-quo governments which prevent democracy and development and that we do it because of our interest in near east oil. Furthermore it’s difficult to counter that perception because it’s correct, and furthermore it ought to be correct. We ought to be supporting brutal and corrupt gov’ts, which prevent democracy and development, because we want to control Middle East oil. And it’s true that leads to a campaign of hatred against us. Now until Bernard Lewis tells us that– and that’s only one piece of a long story– we know that he’s a just a vulgar propagandist, not a scholar… So yes as long as we are supporting harsh brutal gov’ts, blocking democracy and development because of our interest in controlling the oil resources of the region, there will be a campaign of hatred against us.” ~ Noam Chomsky
“, the division of and non-assimilation of the races and cultures has been successfully engineered”
Mary,
Yes, to the tune of over One Trillion Dollars and counting…in our country alone. Why squander the treasure? Who benefits? Why do you need an obscure reason that flies in the face of Occam’s Razor?
I would suggest that the issues Fred discusses are otherwise accountable. I saw what he describes and well understood the lesson…50 years ago. THAT’S why I live in a remote location in Oregon. The issue is not that there might have been programs of bad intent in the distant past. The issue is that it exists now, and what are you going to do about it?
I don’t have any power, so that’s a ridiculous question (what am I going to do about it?).
Obviously, black people did not behave 100 years ago as a culture as they do now. Obviously, that is because of really complex ways of engineering current behavior (as they’ve done with covidiots, for example, or the trans loons). What happens to kids if you kowtow to them and give them everything they want without having to work for it? How do criminals behave when they can’t be arrested or jailed for their crimes?
This is mass manipulation. I give 2 great examples. To people who can see engineering instead responding in a knee-jerk fashion to stuff, that article sounds like an unhinged rant of someone who doesn’t understand history or psychology.
Mary,
Allow me to apologize for my imprecise posting…I was addressing the “Imperial You” (Linguistic License)
LOL
The Butterfly Effect
elysianfield, you mention Occam’s Razor…
I see your Occam’s Razor and raise you The Butterfly Effect…
I will suggest that The Butterfly Effect may be your Occam’s Razor.
Over here in so-called Canada, the aboriginals are still having trouble and are over-represented in the prison system.
“Over here in so-called Canada, the aboriginals are still having trouble and are over-represented in the prison system.”
Zazelle,
Could it be, perhaps, that the filthy indigenous, those aboriginals of which you speak, are incarcerated for eating your butterflies, endangered that they be?
Ill see your “Butterfly Effect” and raise you the Human Condition….
Social Butterflies
They are eating the governments’ and/or big biz’s historical ‘butterflies’ and now we appear to have hurricanes approaching.
In fact, how government operates is fundamentally-flawed, so that is its own butterfly that now appears to be approaching hurricane force winds.
Moral of the story: Check/Nip our social butterflies in the bud(pupae?), preventative medicine and all that.
But, ya, ‘human condition’… Maybe we can one era, transcend it in important ways, maybe via becoming a new species, and therefore less human in some important ways.
Otherwise, maybe our ‘lot in life’ shall essentially be, ‘rinse and repeat’ until the sun’s nova puts an end to that.
Zazelle,
May I propose a coherent theory that will, in right-thinking men, give lie to the ridiculous climate change/CO2 meme?
What if…what if climate change occurs due to a paucity of butterflies? No butterfly effect, and hence the perturbations we are now experiencing? It makes equal sense to sanction then…Canadians, who we have established*, destroyed the butterfly population through consumption.
A consumption tax on your aboriginals…retroactive to, say…1950? Payable to the US government in ancestral lands?
Administered by the US Marine Corps?
Yeah….
*Maybe…who knows?

“The issue is that it exists now, and what are you going to do about it?” ~ elysianfield

One could write something as simple as ‘get rid of fundamentally-unethical businesses and government’ but that’s stupid-easy to say compared with to do, right?
So?
So maybe ‘hiding out’ in some remote corner somewhere like Oregon seems like one option..
Until government can be taken out (maybe it collapses on its own) and then after the dust has all settled.

“…it is clear that the existence of a centralized state vastly increases both the profit and the prevalence of violence. The fact that the violence is masked by obedience in no way diminishes the brutality of coercion. All moralists interested in one of the greatest topics of ethics– the reduction or elimination of violence– would do well to understand the depth and degree to which the existence of a centralized state promotes, exacerbates and profits from violence… as we can see from countless examples throughout history, violence always escalates until civil society is utterly destroyed. Because the state so directly profits from violence, eliminating the state can in no way increase the use of violence within society. Quite the contrary… eliminating the state will, to a degree unprecedented in human history, eliminate violence as well.” ~ Stefan Molyneux
——
“Concluding Thoughts
In view of the foregoing arguments, we might well restate Olson’s ultimate economic conclusion on anarchy as follows: If a population acts to serve its common interest, it will never choose the state. In reaching this conclusion, we need not deny the countless problems that will plague the people living in a society without the state; any anarchical society, being peopled in normal proportion by vile and corruptible individuals, will have crimes and miseries aplenty. But everything that makes life without a state undesirable makes life with a state even more undesirable. The idea that the anti-social tendencies that afflict people in every society can be cured or even ameliorated by giving a few persons great discretionary power over all the others is, upon serious reflection, seen to be a wildly mistaken notion. Perhaps it is needless to add that the structural checks and balances on which Madison relied to restrain the government’s abuses have proven to be increasingly unavailing and, bearing in mind the expansive claims and actions under the present U.S. regime, are now almost wholly superseded by a form of executive caesarism in which the departments of government that were designed to check and balance each other have instead coalesced in a mutually supportive design to plunder the people and reduce them to absolute domination by the state.
My arguments in support of self-government, as opposed to society under a state, may have little point, of course: if people do not choose the state, but, as I think, simply have it imposed on them, then it makes no practical difference that the state is unnecessary to solve any particular kind of problem and that life without the state would be superior (Holcombe 2004). Life without cancer would be superior, too, but so far we have not found a way to get rid of it, and we have no guarantee that we ever will find a way, so we can only strive to make the best of a bad situation. We need also to consider the likely outcome if our society had no state but another society did, and that state had the capacity to harm us greatly and, for whatever reason, sought to do so. I am not convinced that this particular problem is insoluble, and indeed I believe that the state’s defenders may have blown it out of proportion, but I do not dismiss it entirely. The Irish monks may have had the better argument, but it availed them little when Henry VIII decided to rip the roof off the monastery.
Here, however, I have tried only to show how we may think more clearly about the choice between a society under the state and a society composed of self-governing individuals. Assuming that we really had such a choice, the better option seems to me fairly obvious. If the reader takes anything away from my arguments here, however, I hope that it will be an appreciation of how highly warranted is an application of the precautionary principle in choosing between anarchy and the state. Fire has proven to be a magnificent aid to human beings, but a fire that cannot be contained portends our utter destruction, and the state is precisely such a fire.” ~ Robert Higgs, ‘If Men Were Angels: The Basic Analytics of the State versus Self-government’
Pardon the bold. 😀
“we have no guarantee that we ever will find a way, so we can only strive to make the best of a bad situation.”
Zazelle,
Yeah, what you said…hence the “hiding out in Oregon” thang….
Oregon’s a favourite state. I live in Canada, but if I lived there, Oregon would be among the top choices.
Good thing I don’t know how to bold like that. I’d be doing it all the time. Everything I say is that important.
I appreciate your sarcasm.
“…this in large part promoted by governments at all levels…”

From your article:
“People of good will, and others, talk about ‘root causes.’ These usually include the lingering effects of slavery, genetics, the Great Society, racism, drugs, and culture. Well and good, but what effect does talking have? Nice people speak of large numbers of likeable, law-abiding and just plain good blacks, who exist. Fine, but speaking improves nothing. Others point out that in other times black society had far lower rates of all of its current ills. True, but we do not live in other times [Duh.]*.
Call me dim, but it looks to me that all of America’s racial problems are getting worse and will continue getting worse, this in large part promoted by governments at all levels, by schools and universities and racial lobbies. Where is this going?”

”Okay. So either a giant offensive will happen any minute now (it might have just started while I was typing that), or it will never happen at all, or it already happened, or perhaps it’s in a state of quantum superposition in which it has both succeeded and failed, at least until we open the box……
I would like to suggest an alternative to all these theories, because what the world needs most right now is more opinions.”

Jarek: This is what most of you believe. You may not like having your belief system encapsulated by a pop song. And you may therefor repudiate the song as I believe Mary has done. But no matter: You still believe exactly what the song says.
It’s Globalism (the world will live as one), Communism (no possessions or private property, you will have nothing and you will be happy). And it’s just going to happen if you believe hard enough? No, it’s going to happen when the Capitalist fist breaks everything down, using Communist/Anarchists troops as needed. And it will be hell on Earth.
But the song is so beautiful – yes,
it describes the Reign of God on Earth. It can’t be attained except thru God’s grace. That’s different from the Mailed Fist and Iron Heel of Capitalism/Communism, you see. Or the social activism of busy bodies and bureaucrats – who work for the Lords of Matter, either knowingly or not, paid or not.
Mary said people should be able to go wherever they want. Imagine there’s no countries…..
So Muslims can just go to Europe and demand benefits that they are not entitled to. Immigrants to the United States get social security benefits.
No countrieS, just one big Country spanning the entire Globe. Zaza doesn’t want this per se, but the things he wants can only be attained by Global Governance.
As Thomas a Kempis said, Men say they want peace, but they don’t want the things that make for peace.
The thing that makes for peace is Global Government. Is the price too high? Obviously! As Calcagus the Celt said, They (the Romans) make a desert and call it peace. The only guarantor against this terrible Desert is the Nation State (not a “cuntry!). What does ZaZa hate the most? The Nation State. So he’d trade something imperfect for his ultimate nightmare, thinking he was doing good business.
The song is a Bromide. The fab four have never been accused of deep thinking.
A bromide because it is only a wish.
Imagine there is no religion?
Some people need rules. Some don’t. Some people can figure out rules to live by, some can’t.
The bromide assumes everyone has their shit together and there are no idiots.
In a capitalist arrangement if you don’t get to work on time you can be ‘written up’.
In a socialist arrangement if you don’t get to work on time you can be ‘written up’.
A pure communist arrangement is so pie-in-the-sky it is not really worth discussing. Communism is at the far end of the socialist spectrum and mostly theoretical.
Consider:
1. Always and inevitably, each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in the world.
2. The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of the same person.
3. A stupid person is one who causes harm to another person or group without at the same time obtaining a benefit for himself or even damaging himself.
4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the harmful potential of stupid people.
5. The stupid person is the most dangerous person that exists.
Any political system has to keep the stupid under control. This is not a matter of tyranny as the stupid claim. It is simple karma and common sense.
No work no eat should be true of any arrangement.
Except capitalism.
Which is why a lot of the stupid people like it so much.
You’re a Pepsi guy and prefer Coca Cola. That’s fine. Diversity matters. You DO have the same vision, essentially, with perhaps just a different style or aesthetic. There’s no reason to call your fellow travelers stupid.

There fixed it for Lennon. Call me a pessimist but I have seen some really shitty human nature. Although just the other day I saw an elderly lady, perhaps 80-85 yo. in an act of supreme kindness give up her seat on the subway to a pregnant man of perhaps 35 YO.
Hey nice lyrics. I like the Scooby dooby doo flourish at the end.
50 ft of snow at Lake Tahoe; I think the drought is over.
That’s Sierra Cement there getting. Not not that rocky mountain fluff they get in Alta. We just got 7-8 inches of cement and it weighs a ton. The snow pack in the Sierra is the best in a few years. They have maybe 50-60 feet this year. By August they’ll be on fire.
I don’t believe in globalism so I fall within the few category rather than the most category. But I also don’t think social activism is always a bad thing. But it does depend of course on how that energy is being channeled. Some people don’t believe in any government but that really can’t be practical because people find ways to organize. Even if that organization is not very complex or what have you.
Do you have an issue with Night Owl having moved to live in Germany even though he’s American?
So a guy of German descent planned to use his language ability to live and work in the land of his ancestors – perhaps brushing up on the language in high school and college. In other words, years of effort and planning.
Somehow that is the same as illegal aliens barging into Western countries from utterly alien cultures.
Will you listen to yourself?
When I hear the words “social activism” I reach for my revolver.
Oh really. Well I have the perfect protest for you lol

“A false dilemma, also referred to as false dichotomy or false binary, is an informal fallacy based on a premise that erroneously limits what options are available. The source of the fallacy lies not in an invalid form of inference but in a false premise. This premise has the form of a disjunctive claim: it asserts that one among a number of alternatives must be true. This disjunction is problematic because it oversimplifies the choice by excluding viable alternatives, presenting the viewer with only two absolute choices when in fact, there could be many.” ~ Wikipedia

So will these self governing anarchist communities allow in people from other sgac’s? Why not since they will all be basically the same, right?
The first thing No. 6 did when he got back to England (he thought) was ask, Do we have a village here too? And in desperation, It is better here, right?
The Village was in the Baltic area and had a lot of Slavs. But it delighted in affecting an English tone, with the local paper called, The Tally Ho!
One can imagine that the Village in England would be a mirror image, full of Englishmen but affecting a Russian ethos.
I hate to burst your Rover, but your vision is not only consonant with Globalism, but dependent on it. It’s just a different take on 15 minute communities.
I’ve already written, likely hereon too, that I’ll get my relative anarchy one way or another… which is not to necessarily suggest that everyone everywhere will get it.
It may be from the collapse(s) of large-scale centralized coercive governments and ‘failed States’, or it may be in their ‘hyperdemocratic’ (essentially or mostly anarchic/equitable) sea-changes for the better.
My sense of it is that, so far, it is leaning toward the former.
As for your ‘globalism’ (with a capital G?) you’d have to define it.
If it’s along the lines of WEF’s (et al.’s) apparent wet dreams, JHK doesn’t seem to think it will work either.
For one, you need larger levels of energy and complexity to project power across a globe. And we are running out of the easy and complex stuff. Energy and complexity may be directly related.
Relatively-anarchic villages are certainly possibilities.
I could go on, but we’ll leave it at that for the moment and with a quote:
——
“Anthropologist Elman Service presented a system of classification for societies in all human cultures, based on the evolution of social inequality and the role of the state. This system of classification contains four categories:
Hunter-gatherer bands that are generally egalitarian
Tribal societies with some limited instances of social rank and prestige
Stratified tribal societies led by chieftains (see Chiefdom)
Civilizations, with complex social hierarchies and organized, institutional governments…” Wikipedia
BTW, you’ve doubtless heard of the terms degrowth and relocalization, yes?
Well, given their successes, they bring us closer to anarchy because they are simpler, smaller and more local.
“Fake tests for fake non-existent viruses get approved for over the counter sales. The name of the company behind these products is interesting: Lucira … sounds a bit familiar.”

Aha! Very interesting. Very close to the name Lucera, which means coming from the light. On their labels they should be sure to state that they are doing Lucifer’s work.
Talking of Lucira, one thing I recall from Sandi Adams’ interview with Brian Gerrish about Agenda 2030 (I think it was early in the first interview) is that she mentioned the UN’s reports were initially published by the Lucifer Trust, later changed to the Lucis Trust, for reasons explained here:

It’s not just in some history book or like something that happened in a far off land in a far off time. It’s like you wake up from a dream where the rhyme of life is routine, warm and normalish and you realize that your centers of authority are mass murderers and you live inside a digital prison.
Well said.

…”…getting the childhood vaccines they need…” That’s a question to look in to. Evidence shows autism rates going up in tandem with childhood vaccination rates. In my small community alone, I know of 4 families with sons who will always live at home because of autism. The Amish are part of this community too. They are not producing autistic children, and they are not vaccinated for anything.
So yes, I was already a never vaxxer even before 2020. That fact may have saved me from early death or disability.
Takeaway – Always err on the side of caution, and never trust the government.
Children’s Health Defense (RFK, Jr.’s organization) did the biggest study on vaccinated children. They found that overwhelmingly the children without any vaccines were a lot healthier. Of course, people (even up here) keep touting them.
This is basically the conclusion I have arrived at.
I am sorry we decided to vaccinate our son with the routine shots. I now have no idea what could have been.
It makes me so sad, and so goddamned angry.
And now look at autism, which most won’t say but I believe is brain damage. It’s off the charts. And it goes hand in hand with the vaccination schedule exploding.
I also wonder how it affected my own life as well.
I feel awful for parents like you who trusted the system and now worry about their child’s future health.
These monsters that did it for profit really need to be taken down.
Chris Martenson in his excellent book “The Crash Course (Revised Edition)” writes:
“ That’s my major point here: Anybody counting on the past to extend seamlessly into the future is headed for almost certain disappointment, both because there’s a very low chance of doubling debts over and over again, and because there’s nobody in charge with their hands on the wheel. This is all new territory for all of us.”
While this is probably a true statement in respect of the U.S. federal government, is it also a true statement in respect of China which has been accumulating debt at an even faster rate than the U.S.?
A lot of the debt now goes into nonproductive “Non-Self-Liquidating” Debt such as the military, building “Ghost Cities” in China, etc.
Martenson divides “Wealth” into 3 categories: (a) Primary Wealth which includes inherently valuable assets such as oil, gas, and coal reserves, fresh water, fertile soil, etc.; (b) secondary sources of wealth (stuff made by applying labor); and (c) “Tertiary Wealth” which is largely ultimately bullshit illusory paper derivatives, etc., which may lose all value if people lose confidence in “Money”. While this conceptual framework is valuable, I suspect that the Chinese might argue that real “Wealth” is political and military Power since if you’ve got the Gun, then you can take other people’s assets, or even compel them to buy whatever products you force them to believe via compulsion (eg, threaten their job or government benefits), or brainwashing to believe that they need?
My finance professor back in the day told me American debt was “special” though, by virtue of it being American in the first place. You’re not saying that old bastard lied to me, are you? I might pop on down there to the admin building and see if I can’t get a refund on my so-called “education,” if that’s the case. I think the prof has already long since “self-liquidated.”
The Nord Stream Pipeline was productive, “Self-Liquidating Debt” until the Americans mischievously blew it up.
So, the application of weapons to “Self-Liquidating Debt”, as a matter of “Accounting”, quickly converts “Self-Liquidating Debt” into nonproductive “Non-Self-Liquidating-Debt” unless it can be repaired and successfully defended with Nonproductive, “Non-Self-Liquating-Debt” financed military force?
So, we’re basically in an economic death spiral and socially reverting to the Middle Ages in which people live in militarised castles?
Nice use of mischievously. Visions of young American miscreants giggling mischievously as they went about their work, much like adolescents TP’ing their least favorite teacher’s house on Halloween.
Likewise, everything and everyone in the world is eventually “self-liquidating,” some sooner than others.
When I was a teenager in “high” school, I and my “Mates” late one night went on a “Mission” and pored a half gallon bottle of stale Pepsi cola into the gas tank of an abusive teacher. She was a “Secondary Target” since we discovered that the “Primary Target” teacher had installed a locked gas cap on the gas tank of his car. Presumably, he had been hit before by another group of like-minded, aggrieved male students.
It took about 2 months to clog up the engine.
I think that the explosive charges that took out the Nordstream pipeline had been laid by the Americans 2 months in advance….
I ask you, who among us has not gone such epic adolescent search and destroy missions in the heat of a hot summer night to establish our immortal “rebel without a clue” bonafides, usually to a fair young lassie of our fevered dreams? Ahh to be young and bored stiff once more!
Alas, those misspent days of youth have self-liquidated themselves to the dusty and decayed history books of yesteryear that, thankfully, no one will every read.
I know, sometime I break into cold sweats thinking about all the crazy stunts that I pulled back in the day, any one of which could have (and should have) ended in disaster. The only thing I can think of is God must have been looking out for me.
In my case, I think he was laughing. “That boy’s a fucking retard!” My little 8th grade girlfriend at the time certainly concluded that. She was very intuitive that way.
St Augustine agonized about the Peach tree he and his friends had vandalized, knocking all the peaches off.
He said, It’s not as if we wanted the peaches to eat and stole them. That would be sane even if wrong. Instead we just wanted to destroy.
Lord Russell mocked him for being over-wrought. And it does seem funny to our modern sensibility, but Augustine is right. It was a manifestation of the evil urge.
Speaking of Nordstream, the Russians have decided it’s not worth fixing.
The pipeline has been capped, permanently — a $20 billion project down the rathole.
I much prefer the term psychopathic.
I don’t see much mischief in forcing thousands of people here to freeze due to an inability to pay their gas bills.
I can show you mine, if you like. I am one of the lucky ones, however.
I believe that one of my primary Ethical responsibilities is to show Empathy. My other primary Ethical responsibility is to be Reasonable and to make sense. Provided that I fulfil these 2 ethical requirements, I am absolved of all pernicious “Guilt”.
But, is my Ethics misguided?
The other day, I happened upon a Youtube video of a middle-aged white Skank who went out of her way to give water to a very large, parched, black poisonous viper which was shown in the video held in her hand drinking from a small glass jar held in her other hand. The Skank obviously empathised with the lethal, poisonous viper….
Canadian clinical psychologist, Jordan Peterson, never passes up an opportunity to tell the story of Hanson & Grettle in expounding on his theory of the “Devouring Mother”….
What is Empathy to a Witch?
Is Empathy different for different people?
What is Empathy to Bill Gates?
Do you remember in Chris Hedges’s excellent book, “America the Farewell Tour” in which he empathises with violent prisoners, and crack addicted $5 dollar prostitutes in Camden, New Jersey and sadomasochists in the dark perverted San Francisco underworld?
I think that work is noble. He tries to actually help rehabilitate people in prison. That’s actually what should be done. That way when people get out they might have some actual skills and experiences that might keep them from returning to crime.
I get the feeling that some of Chris Hedges’ students in prison try to manipulate him?
Hedges seems to feel “Guilty” about everything. The prisoners seem to exploit his Guilt?
It’s not something that keeps me awake at night.
I got no love for Hedges in general these days because of his hypocrisy and plagiarism, but he did a lot of work in the prisons he can be proud of.
Has anybody seen or heard from Senator Fetterman? A growing rumor is that he’s braindead, hooked up to an infernal machine that allows him to simulate life so that the Dems can keep their Senate majority. His wife, an illegal alien, has fled the country. If Fetterman is pronounced dead before Aug. 1 then a special runoff election in Penn. needs to be held; if he goes toes up after Aug.1 the Gov. simply appoints another Dem to fill his Senate slot. At some point Fetterman might even get up and emerge from his hospital room, like Frankenstein, electrodes attached to his head, a steampunk breathing apparatus on his back “Goodnight, everybody.”
Hahaha…………..I especially like “steampunk breathing apparatus.”
Where can I pick one of those up? It’s for a friend, of course.
I delivered the local newspapers at 10, mowed lawns and trimmed bushes at 13-15, Mom died when I was 13. Father traveled for work. I used my brothers birth certificate for proof of age at 16 (had to be 18)to get a a job I was working the stack pouring iron at Plainville casting foundry on the 4-12 shift after class at high school for 2 years. Full boat at high school and then 8 hour shift at the foundry. 4PM to 12 PM Made a shit-ton of money in a dangerous job. Graduated high school. Built a camper from a bakery delivery truck and hit the road for 2 years. before van-life was really a thing. Me and my girl and an adopted dog from the pound in Sioux Falls, SD. Worked oil rigs outside of Rawlins in the Red Desert Wyoming, Built ski lift towers at Snowmass in Colorado, and then worked Gas pipelines in the Permian Basin in Midland TX. Came home and worked as a FF and Ambulance hack for 33 years. Now I babysit a bunch of tenants who won’t even pick up a snow shovel or eat my organic vegetables. No brag, just fact.
A life well lived!
Thank you for sharing!
Snow shoveling’s a sore point around here too. The gene seems to have skipped a generation or several. Oh well, more for me. Best exercise you can possibly get, although I suspect my best snow shoveling days might be behind me now.
We’ve been told snow shovelling can give you that Sudden Adult Death Syndrome thingy, like gardening, showering, sitting on the sofa, watching TV, being too hot or cold, eating the wrong things or taking strenuous exercise when you don’t know you’ve even got a heart condition. So, if his tenants are vaxxed, St E might end up shovelling them off the pavement along with the snow.
St E – seriously impressive CV.
The cement we had today was about 10-20 kilos a shovel full. That’d be scot’s wt. the stuff was half water and half snow.
Flour is to cake as cement is to concrete.
Wrote to quick … please disregard my last reply.
Alba, how much snow do you get in Edinburgh?
Not a lot, brh. We might get a week of it in an average winter, maybe even twice.

LOL
I love shoveling. But here the snow (even up to 6 inches) tends to melt by the end of the day. So I rarely need to.
It’s great (and fun) exercise.
You’re copping out, MQ! A dedicated shoveler gets out there while the stuff’s still falling and shovels away anyway. With a big ol’ smile on their face and raspberries for their lazy neighbors!
I just now noticed for the first time that “raspberry” is spelled with a ‘p.’ Cue Q. pronunciation rant in three, two, one…
[Bonus points for entirely unintentional “Cue Q.” remark.]
Oh sure, early on in the season.
But by March?
Meh.
Snow. It’s one of the great separators up here.
When I see the snow piling up in my driveway, I dread going out into the cold and spending an hour or more shoveling. But I know if I don’t, the snow will compact and the lower layer will freeze to the concrete, so out I go as soon as the snow stops falling. After shoveling the sidewalk and the concrete apron in front of the garage, it’s time to fire up the snowblower and clear the driveway and as much of the road as I feel like clearing. I have a few decent neighbors – and a bunch of slackers – we generally get our dead-end passable long before the county snowplows get here.
It makes my life a little easier, and I get some exercise and a warm glow of smug self-satisfaction.
My woke, commie frenemies (mom and dad – divorced but still living together – and two sons – ages 34 and 39) won’t even shovel their front steps. Or even put salt on them (“Salt hurts the dogs’ feet.” They have 5 or 6 dogs…) For four months a year their front steps are a low-budget ski-slope of frozen snow, and the driveway a field of ruts with cars skidding sideways, wheels spinning, engines screaming, drivers swearing, hoping to make it to the road without getting hopelessly stuck. The energy they burn accusing each other of doing nothing could easily be harnessed to clear the steps and driveway, but no.
Once freed of winter’s surly grip, I drive past the homes of others, noting the state of their sidewalks and driveways and praising or damning the inhabitants as deserved.
This is hilarious. It’s such a shame that we’ll never see any YouTube videos of “cars skidding sideways, wheels spinning, engines screaming, drivers swearing, hoping to make it to the road without getting hopelessly stuck”. The really funny part would be the swearing drivers.
There was the most wonderful way for me as a child that hated school was to wake up in a town in the Southern Appalachians in January – and hear the sound of screaming engines and spinning wheels. If your town has a lot of hills, and some of them really steep as it goes in the foothills, a few people are of course going to give it a try, and we even had a few steep driveways on our street. With young boyz in the 50’s, engine noise, smoking tires, and adults cussing was always interesting. School was out and we were all outside enjoying the occasional snow in the southeast US. One of our gang of 4th graders had managed to get his hands on a large amount of white laundry detergent, somebody’s dad was a grocery store manager. There was a really steep hill a couple blocks down that we’d watched before after a big snow. People wouldn’t try it going down, but a few would make successful attempts at going up, they’d probably done it before. So we took all that laundry soap and dumped it out all over the over the bottom part of the hill over all the existing tire tracks where people had packed it down a bit going up. Then we waited in the bushes to see what happened a while later. We were rewarded by seeing some cussing and really angry drivers. Shit like this is why us boyz got so many ass whuppin’s back in the day. Child abuse? I dunno, we probably would have behaved much worse without the whuppins.
But maybe this laundry soap prank you just reminded me of could work for you? Just trying to help…….
Alas, no hills here ‘Chuckie. Flat as a crêpe.
But it would be fun to watch my best frenemy’s driveway fill with soap bubbles. (Might even alleviate some of the stench of dog piss…)
Sounds like the people with the gay flag across the street from me. They only have 2 dogs, though. I’m sure the delivery people who bring the take out they order for dinner every single night curse them when the driveway isn’t shoveled.
Like many here I was an ambitious youngster, working a paper route before the minimum age of 12 (my dad required me to save half). And following a snow storm I would shovel our driveway and make the rounds of the elderly on my paper route shoveling their driveways. If it had been a heavy snow (over 12 inches) $5 was payment, which was a great deal of money for a paperboy earning a penny a paper. At lunchtime I would take a break from shoveling and walk two miles to a Friendly’s restaurant where a cheeseburger, fries and vanilla malted shake were ordered. There is nothing as satisfying as a meal like this.
We snow into April pretty regularly up here. But as you noted, it usually melts off the same day, like the one we had last week. 6-8″ in the morning, a few spots on the grass left by the afternoon.
“The important thing to understand about collapse is that it’s brought on by overreach and overstretch, and people being zealots and trying too hard. It’s not brought on by people being laid back and doing the absolute minimum. Americans could very easily feed themselves and clothe themselves and have a place to live, working maybe 100 days a year. You know, it’s a rich country in terms of resources. There’s really no reason to work more than maybe a third of your time. And that’s sort of a standard pattern in the world. But if you want to build a huge empire and have endless economic growth, and have the largest number of billionaires on the planet, then you have to work over 40 hours a week all the time, and if you don’t, then you’re in danger of going bankrupt. So that’s the predicament that people have ended up in. Now, the cure of course is not to do the same thing even harder… what people have to get used to is the idea that most things aren’t worth doing anyway…” ~ Dmitry Orlov, author of ‘Reinventing Collapse’

I like shoveling snow in part because I prefer exercise and work in general that is not only practical but doesn’t help line someone else’s pocket more than my own.
It’s kind of a Zen thing. I do love it.
Exponential growth
Fat kid wearing a baseball cap with his fat dad in the football stadium waiting for the dripping water doubling every minute to illustrate the importance of Exponential Growth:
“When is the water going to show up? I’m bored. Are we there yet?”
Fat dad to his fat son:
“Be patient, Billy. Now, just wait here handcuffed to your seat while I run and buy us some more hotdogs and high fructose corn syrup soft drinks.”
Unfortunately, fat dad stops by the restroom on the way to the hotdog stand and is confronted with the “Guangzhou conundrum” up close and personal. It’s then that he decides to let poor Billy fend for himself and beats a hasty retreat to the parking lot to get the hell out of Dodge.
Fat dad rationalizes that this will be fat Billy’s rite of passage to manhood – or not. If Billy were to show up at his door in the near future stinking of ballpark shit with a furious scowl on his face, he would lovingly turn the hose on him and affectionately tell him to “get the hell off my property, you swine!”
Chris Martenson says that unlike silver and gold and other forms of currency such as cigarettes and mackerels in prison, gems are not suitable as Money because gems are not neatly uniform and divisible.
Is this statement true for all gemstones?
Cigarettes are fungible. Nips of booze also. Stock up
Fungible…cigarettes and booze….
Saint,
And not to mention big butts…I cannot lie.
The common man has little use for “precious” metals and stones.
“…mackerels in prison…”?
Cigarettes, LSD, a shank – no problem. But how do you hide a goddamn mackerel?
“Alright buddy, I know ya got a mackerel in here. Now bend over and spread ’em!”
Gemstones: Can you tell a garnet from a ruby from a piece of red glass? Me either.
You’ll pay for your bread in silver – or lead – ’cause I can’t make change for gold.
Chris Martenson would say that Overpopulation is a Predicament that cannot be solved, but only managed for a better outcome, whereas Bill Gates would say that Overpopulation is a Problem amenable to a Final S..ol…ution, right?
So, Martenson’s Problem vs. Predicament paradigm is subject to the Elite’s Overton Window?
Elites don’t think the populace at large can handle a macro idea/situation like overpopulation; so they think “solutions” can only be forced on the populace.
Are they right about the populace not being able to handle it psychologically and practically?
If, as Martenson insists, that “Debt” is future claims on finite real assets, or bona fide “Wealth”, then what happens if the creditor banks go bust? Or, better yet, what if the mischievous Americans just force the European banks into bankruptcy? Is Inflation in the context of a shrinking U.S. dollar money supply then “Sorted”, as the mischievous Brits say?
“Are you in the Crypto Space?”
Is Inflation in the context of a shrinking U.S. dollar money supply then “Sorted”, as the mischievous Brits say?
Good question. The answer is “sorted,” albeit for the worse. We had just such a condition, albeit MUCH less dramatic, in the US in the late 70’s, which was aptly termed “stagflation.” A stagnant, “tight money” economy with simultaneous high inflation and lack of productive credit availability. The results are explosive. An economy where your money, if you’re lucky enough to have any, buys less and less everyday. An economy where you could easily charge interest rates north of 20% if you had money and were so inclined, but you wouldn’t be able to find any qualified borrowers who would want it.
The only answer for such a situation is for creditors to take a bath en masse and liquidate all the bad loans to restart the economy, something any capitalist country worth its salt is absolutely loathe to do.
The compounding factor (there’s that exponential thing again!) in our current case is that the bad debt is no longer confined to the private sector and households. It’s everywhere: private households, small businesses, corporate industry, corporate finance, the banks and investment banks, and of course the US and all its associated lackey governments themselves. The resulting collapse will be more like a raging inferno than an orderly “sorting of remaining assets,” as the US dollar itself goes the way of the dinosaurs, and with it, the last vestige of US political credibility remaining.
Many years ago, I knew a bloke whose wife had lost confidence in him because he was lying to her all of the time. So, the bloke ingratiated himself with the preacher at his wife’s church, “donated” a bunch of money to the church, and, thereby finagled a written “Certificate” from the church that he was an “honest” husband. He then presented the Honesty Certificate to his wife….
True story….
I have an “Honesty Certificate”
It measures, 8.375″ I’m not sure if it is valid or legitimate?
Probably fake news.
I like Trump’s idea of Freedom Cities. I do not like the flying taxis.
I feel the need to elevate the discussion.
Samantha Power.
She’s one homely dude.
I am fairly certain that 50-60 years ago, back in her homeland, her parents would have pushed that mug into a habit. You know, a convent school or whatever they’re called. Their prospects for a dowry or her future with a man almost an impossibility in a brainwashed religious culture and society that demanded it.
Crazy what a difference a few decades make.
Here she is. In our country. Wedded, literally, to the neocons.
She’s not a nun, but
She’s a twisted sister
Plenty of butt-ugly women find mates.
Plenty of butt-ugly men do, too.
I don’t think she’s ugly.
It’s her delusional ideas—that the USA represents values that are unique on earth— that are ugly and dangerous.
Saw clip of her today in a story linked at Zero Hedge.
I think a cowboy hat and maybe associated accoutrements would fit her.
Oh no! Don’t even think it! Assless chaps? The horror! the horror!
Yeehaw! (LOL)
Ok, you made me look.
That’s not a woman – that’s Richard Fucking Harris, in a wig!
LOL! I think I’d roll the dice and go with Richard.
Whew!!! If that chick ain’t a tranny, she certainly should be! Matter of fact, given the current zeitgeist, I think I’d just go with that story if I were her.
Just looked “her” up and you are correct, “she” doesn’t look female.
Well he made sure everyone knows that the US is fighting a war with Russia using Ukrainian cannon fodder. In case there was any doubts
Another non American from the Obama era
From the leaked internal text messages out of the UK government (with Matt Hancock):
“’We frighten everyone with the new strain’
– Matt Hancock 2020
‘When do we deploy the new variant’”
– Matt Hancock 2020″
https://twitter.com/BernieSpofforth/status/1632172685181550592?cxt=HHwWgIC8hZua0qYtAAAA
Yes, kids, he said, “When do we deploy the new variant.”
But Covid-19 is real, right?
Hancock might want to augment his security.
I wonder how that Veritas-Walker-Pfizer guy is doing and where he is these daze.
Frankly, it would be nice if ‘the elites’ just threw each other under their own buses.
I have always found Isobel Oakeshott* obnoxious, although I certainly don’t disagree with everything she’s ever said. And, while I’d love to see Hancock either under a bus or at the end of a rope, I think this is just another limited hangout like the Twitter files and the fella from Cheers.
And just as Nadim Zahawi (‘Vaccines’ Minister) was taken down for his tax affairs, rather like Al Capone, and not for poisoning half the country, I think this may go the same way, with Handjob being rapped over the knuckles for ‘frightening the public’ rather than murdering people in care homes and hospitals, as well as overseeing the lethal ‘pandemic’ response.
By the time we get anywhere near Midazolam and morphine, we’ll be deep in digital food rationing territory, if not all out war.
That was very bleak, sorry!
*Having said that I don’t care for Oakeshott, I have to say the gobsmacking stupidity of the British public was on full view in the comments after an MSM article, where most of the men (who probably fancy her) were slamming her and saying that the WhatsApp revelations weren’t the point – the point was that she signed a NDA and should never be trusted again. Right.
Bleak but spot on. These people at most are called out and humiliated, but that’s about it. If they are even called out.
I am starting to think that the congressional hearings here in the US are merely humilation rituals, much as they put Hollywood stars through (see: VigilantCitizen.com) but the end goal is not to put them in jail but to elevate them once they’ve survived said ritual.
Either that or it’s all just theater and as long as people are content with seeing these monsters verbally flogged in public and nothing more, they will continue like that.
Awesome expose, but I’m past believing that any of these people will go down.
Maybe a low-level scapegoat or two at best. That’s how they roll.
Oof! https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1632244896659800064
You’re still stuck in either/or thinking. Did the Pizza boxed windows and late night shenanigans mean they didn’t use dead people to vote or fuck with voting machines?
It was all this – and more.
And almost everyone else is even worse since they believe in “covid”, many getting the shot, others realizing it was a bad idea.
Real for thee but not the hierarchy
Women calling other women ugly. I thought they were better than that.
Right, don’t judge the book by its cover, don’t judge the look.
Islander is right.
Can’t some people also be butt beautiful?
I likes me a nice butt.
…And you likes them big, and you cannot lie?
I must admit…
Absolutely.
…But ‘big’ in the right way (for me, which may not be the right way for another).
Big and tight. But in context, men are judged the same way shape-wise. Above average (but not too much) height, broad shoulders, cut arms, small waist, tight small butt being the preferred attributes. It’s pretty entertaining to “people watch” in crowded places with those facts in mind. Body types tend to naturally seek out their own.
Unsure about some of that. For example, in gay parlance, you have the twinks and the bears, right? If bears or twinks were entirely preferred, all you’d have was bears or twinks, respectively, but there are both– and more of course.
You got me there, but then again, there’s no accounting for the gay and tranny perversions. I think they’re just trying to out weird each other at this point.
To add, conventional sexual trait signaling is based on perceived ability to procreate successfully, which the gays, trannies and other “flavors” are obviously not interested in. By conventional means, at least. If you’re relying on test tubes and incubators I suppose money and access are the only determinants.
It’s just the gay parlance, since most ‘twinks’ and ‘bears’ are hetero. Maybe women use a similar parlance between themselves, I’ve never thought to ask.
‘Boyish’ or ‘stodgy’ among others maybe?
Stocky I meant, not stodgy (though maybe both in some cases I guess).
“Big and tight. But in context, men are judged the same way shape-wise. Above average (but not too much) height, broad shoulders, cut arms, small waist, tight small butt being the preferred attributes.” ~ Disaffected
——
Too much diversity in men and in women for some of that it seems unless maybe we’re talking in very general and relative terms WRT general differences between men and women, butt even then…
I mean for example, and since we”re talking about butts, a hetero man or woman can both have a bubble butt, so not necessarily ‘tight’ nor ‘small’, right?, depending on what those mean.
As for broad shoulders, hetero men and women both can have them, while other hetero men and women can have less broad shoulders and less of a, say, top-heavy physique. Think of the hourglass figure for example.
Elaine: [Growing irritated] So, you’re saying that 90% of the population is undatable?
Jerry: [Emphatically] Undatable!
Elaine: [Incredulously] Then how are all these people getting together?
Jerry: [Nonchalantly, without missing beat] Alcohol.
Which women? All women? Why is one woman = all women?
Should we put the same onus on all men?
We do. See above comment. Although with men, money and power play a large part as well.

Jarek’s Non-Indian Kennewick Man

“Yes, to men of your ilk, Truth is the greatest obscenity and transgression.

“A couple of decades ago they had the Army Corps of Engineers to dumps hundreds of tons of debris on the site where they found Kennewick Man. Why? Because he wasn’t Indian. They don’t want the narrative being upset.” Jarek March 2, 2023 at 12:03 pm (last article’s threads)
——
“Kennewick Man became the subject of a controversial nine-year court case between the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), scientists, and Native American tribes who claimed ownership of the remains. In June 2015, it was made public that scientists at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark determined through DNA from 8,500?year-old bones that Kennewick Man is, in fact, related to modern Native Americans, including the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation from the region in which his bones were found. Analysis showed that Kennewick Man is ‘very closely related to the Colville’ tribe in northeast Washington. In September 2016, the US House and Senate passed legislation to return the ancient bones to a coalition of Columbia Basin tribes for reburial according to their traditions. The remains were buried on February 18, 2017, with 200 members of five Columbia Basin tribes in attendance, at an undisclosed location in the area.” ~ Wikipedia, via The Man They Call Zazelle March 2, 2023 at 9:41 pm (last articles threads)
That’s a very early date – an important find. So explain why they dumped huge amount of debris on it, “even” if it was “just” Indian.
The skeleton was obviously not of a local tribe. He may well have come from Siberia, but from a different part, at a different date. I’m not saying he looked like me or like the caucasian Cro-Magnons who come over on the ice (the Clovis Culture). But he may well have been an intermediate type between the two races, or to put in another way, prior to the two races as they are now.
The idea that he was one of the local tribes or that they were where they are now more than ten thousand years ago is fatuous.
With all those questions you seem to have, you may see fit to take your thumb out of your mouth and do some of your own research and shed some answers for yourself and maybe even to report back and enlighten us.
I mean, you write that you’re all about truth, yes?, or are you just posing?
I ask again: Why did they bury the site? Do you always believe government or otherwise “official” sources? Some anarchist you are!
Different issue and a bit of a red herring.
If you want to pursue it, that’s your prerogative.

“As an informal fallacy, the red herring falls into a broad class of relevance fallacies. Unlike the straw man, which involves a distortion of the other party’s position, the red herring is a seemingly plausible, though ultimately irrelevant, diversionary tactic.” ~ Wikipedia

Oh yes, it’s a little uncomfortable with me having to lean over the stereo down on the bed, so, let me sit in the bed and prop myself up in back with these couple of pillows… Ahh, that’s better… Say, are you going to just stand there without your towel or grab those two pillows over there and help me fix this?”
Yea , that’s it push on the spot there. Ok,OK, a little more tension. That’s it. A squirt of wd-40. There ya go. Now it’s going in. Easy, Easy. You don’t want to over-torque it and brake a thread. easy does it. AAh, there it goes. Pete, are you OK?
Safe word! Safe word! Code Red! Code Red! Undersized tunnell ahead!!!
(puts down cellphone, turns to stereo-repair assistant…)
“… That was stelmosfire… Wants to help us fix the stereo… seems quite adamant about it too!… Shall we invite?”
Hi stelmosfire, I was just reading your text with Zaz on his phone… on… what is that? Clusterfuck Nation? Ok well it would be the three of us, so a cluster of three. If that sounds ok, then you may come over.
Emergent Alternative Ecological & Ethical Societies
If we think outside of the current system, outside of the box, outside of the current economy and crony-capitalist plutarchy, we can imagine an alternative culture that breaks away and free of the current one and all of its manufactured fears, uncertainties and doubts.

“There are a number of steps that need to be taken to successfully reapply the wisdom of the tribe:
1 ) Individuals must re-establish a sense of deep connection and bondedness to the whole (in this case the planet). This is a process that is both practical and mythic, left brain and right brain – and it is fortunately already occurring. It is especially important that people build direct human connections around the globe. Since the nation-states are today’s bullies, we can not rebuild the peace of the tribe unless we build a global community that stands independent of these nations, as William Ellis argues so well in the Summer 1983 issue of IN CONTEXT. It is also essential that these connections be “real,” based on meaningful ties of economics and common personal interest, and not just a technique for peace.
2) Our societies need to decentralize to remove crucial pressure points. We need to replace brittle systems of hierarchical power with resilient systems of ‘network semi-dependence.’ ” ~ Robert Gilman

“Lastly, Gandhi developed the concept of nonviolent revolution, to be seen not as a programme for the seizure of power, but as a programme for transforming relationships. The concept sits neatly with the observation of the German anarchist, Gustav Landauer (1870-1919): ‘The state is a condition, a certain relationship between beings, a mode of behaviour; we destroy it by contracting other relationships, by behaving differently.’
…
In its first decade several themes, theories, actions, all distinctly libertarian, began to come to the fore and were given intellectual expression by the American anarcho-pacifist, Paul Goodman (1911-72) (36): anti-militarism, the rediscovery of community, community action, radical decentralism, participatory democracy, the organisation of the poor and oppressed inter-racially, and the building of counter-culture and counter-institutions (such as new co-ops, collectives and communes).
…
The collapse of the New Left coincided with the exhaustion of the less well-publicised Sarvodaya (welfare of all) movement for nonviolent revolution in India, led by Vinoba Bhave and Jayaprakash Narayan (1902-1979), which had sought through voluntary villagisation of land to realise Gandhi’s dream of an India of village republics. The implication of Sarvodaya for the subject of this book is brought out by the statement of Jayaprakash Narayan: ‘In a Sarvodaya world society the present nation states have no place.’ ” ~ Geoffrey Ostergaard, ‘Resisting The Nation State’

“Alan Atkisson (interviewer): How has permaculture been received? What do reviewers say about your books, for example?
Bill Mollison: The first time I saw a review of one of my permaculture books was three years after I first started writing on it. The review started with, ‘Permaculture Two is a seditious book.’ And I said, ‘At last someone understands what permaculture’s about.’ We have to rethink how we’re going to live on this earth — stop talking about the fact that we’ve got to have agriculture, we’ve got to have exports, because all that is the death of us. Permaculture challenges what we’re doing and thinking — and to that extent it’s sedition.
People question me coming through the American frontier these days. They ask, ‘What’s your occupation?’ I say, ‘I’m just a simple gardener.’ And that is deeply seditious. If you’re a simple person today, and want to live simply, that is awfully seditious. And to advise people to live simply is more seditious still.
You see, the worst thing about permaculture is that it’s extremely successful, but it has no center, and no hierarchy.
Alan: So that’s worst from whose perspective?
Bill: Anybody that wants to extinguish it. It’s something with a million heads. It’s a way of thinking which is already loose, and you can’t put a way of thinking back in the box.
Alan: Is it an anarchist movement?
Bill: …You won’t get cooperation out of a hierarchical system. You get enforced directions from the top, and nothing I know of can run like that. I think the world would function extremely well with millions of little cooperative groups, all in relation to each other.”
Bill: And one more thing, Alan: Any one from any community can go to any other community at any time for any reason.
Alan: Real loosey goosey, eh?
Bill: You know it, Alan!
Alan: Did you go thru the Hunter Biden laptop?
Bill: Indeed. Want to try some of the things in there, with or without the Thai girl?
Alan: You know it, Bill
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.” ~ Smedley D. Butler, War is a Racket
Quick Sunday morning rant:
We are reaching a point of sheer confusion, and most don’t notice it happening.
Who doesn’t notice it? The busy and the comfortable. We’re all busy, but we’re not all comfortable. For those with this magic combination, everything in the system is generally working for them (currently), so why would they want to examine anything beyond that? And I get that. We’re human…self-preservation trumps all, then everything else can be worried about.
Their kids are already old enough to have a foundation (tenuous as it may be), their housing/mortgage situation is progressing to a point of comfort (though the perceived values are double what they should be), their employers somehow continue to find the myriad millions to keep things rolling for all of their bi-weekly paychecks, and the Tesla is running just fine.
While I make a living, I don’t have the protection of all of these things. Therefore, I have reason to think of other things, and can clearly see through the boilerplate crap these people are eager to accept and hold dear as “normal”.
I complained last week about the new Ethnic Studies (CRT) mandate being floated for primary schools in MN. Not because I think it’s not something that can be studied when one is of sound mind, age, and genuine interest…but because I don’t understand why it could possibly be considered a tent-pole strand of standard education (assuming we want a strong citizenry – that should be my first clue).
We are teaching kids to find only fault in themselves, distrust their neighbors, and hate our country. And anyone who questions it is a racist. Wonder what could possibly go wrong there?
Those of the Caucasus persuasion can also never really understand, or so the story goes. The highest rank they can attain in this system is to be and “ally”. What is an ally? An outside person that is “accepted” as a friend. But they ain’t ever in the club. Great stuff to teach 1st graders, no?
The covid dream slips right down the middle, solidifying into the same folks a sense of superiority and high-brow determination of their correctness. I have trouble defining how the educated and most “scientific” among us can also be the most obtuse and one-dimensional in their thinking.
So according to the newly proposed education standards, we’re supposed to distrust and “resist” everything American, but trust everything the government and scientists tell us. Errkay.
Yet those in dreamland just keep rolling, because it’s working for them. What I fear is the day that it stops working for them. Because that will affect the rest of us…right in the pantry. And the funny part is that the comfortable and “informed clueless” among us will be the least capable of handling actual difficulty when it comes about. And why will it come about? Because they currently think everything is just fuckin’ dandy. Maybe they’re right. But nothing lasts forever.
“We are teaching kids to find only fault in themselves, distrust their neighbors, and hate our country. And anyone who questions it is a racist. ”
So we’re seeing a method being applied to children:
1. The victim is made to hate himself and feel ashamed over what he didn’t do and cannot fix.
2. The victim is made to hate and fear his peers, so that he has no one and nothing to rely upon.
3. The victim is made to hate the system of which he’s a part, and to be aware that it hates and despises him in return.
4. The victim is punished, shunned and shamed for any resistance to the indoctrination.
5.The victim is made to feel utterly helpless and conclude that the best he can do is obey in every respect and hope to lessen the punishments.
@Mr Mango, it will be interesting (in a horrible sort of way) to see how this ultimately manifests. We’ve all experienced shame as children, and there are few things more powerful. What you do with that shame is a real test of character. Many people can be completely controlled this way, and will do almost anything to avoid being shamed again. Yet, if they internalize the shame and believe they have deserved it, the shame then comes relentlessly from within as well as from without.
This method will work to make pathetic sheep of most. At the other end of the spectrum, some will be so enraged at the injustice of it that they will do anything to take down the system, even if they go along with it. There will be nothing much between these two outcomes; spend your life creeping on your belly or go out with a bang and take what you can with you.
A few instances of shame in childhood, especially if we know that we acted badly and deserve to feel ashamed, are salutary. Constantly being shamed for what we didn’t do and can’t help is a recipe not just for sheeplike obedience but also for intense resentment, rage, and mental illness. I think we’re seeing this already, but it can and will get worse.
A method used VERY successfully by the USSR Deep State, the Communist Party, to control the upcoming generations. Also the youth groups used by Hitler to indoctrinate Germany.
No one was more indoctrinated than Japanese youth who willingly went to their death for an imbecilic Emperor.
Nice rant! Lots of valuables in there.
Who did you complain to and what was the context? Good on you for that!
If you want to understand how the most educated got to be the most confused and culted, I think James Lindsay’s lectures are a great place to start. He has de-constructed post-modernist bollocks and wokeness. Also, a professor named Derek Jensen has done great stuff.
It is a huge point you’ve made that comfortable people don’t complain (except about anything that will give them the opportunity to virtue signal). They are fine with the status quo because (at present) it’s working for them. I detect a bit of underlying unease in these folks, though.
For instance, why do they want so desperately to shut down any opposing opinions or voices? They must know that something’s about to go down. I think on some level they also understand they are the least able to deal with it when it does. I could be wrong. But I don’t understand their denial of everything in basic reality – they truly live in the Truman Show. Maybe they are at that point where Truman was when he started to get suspicious.
Those of us who have been onto the PTB for years – decades or more – certainly understand enough to know not to trust the maniacs in charge. And we’ve had those years or decades to unpack the reality (hard as it is) and accept it, and try to work around it or prepare in some small way. The professional class who still lounge in relative comfort have not. Psychologically, when it all collapses, these people will go crazy.
They already sort of are. Like I said, there’s the underlying discomfort that comes out in weird ways. Such as jabbing their kids and themselves into illness and death, or trying to trans their kids into the opposite sex, knowing on some level that that isn’t possible. Why are they doing this to their kids? There is something going cuckoo in their psyches, that’s for sure.
I complained to my state house rep. One of the very few that aren’t DFL (MN’s Democrat party). I laid out my thoughts on the matter, how even CRT professors have said it isn’t meant for kids, and that it should be a university-level endeavor, only if interested. I said that I didn’t want my five year-old to be told to feel bad about himself for no reason.
I also thanked him for his representation, and that I know he’s got a pile of fire coming his way if he opposes this…but that it’s only boilerplate garbage and name-calling from the first page of the playbook, and to do his best to remain strong, as outside of the guilty (but comfrotable) metroite Twin Cities population, virtually no Minnesotans want this taught to our kids. And that even they don’t, they just can’t say it for fear of loss of status.
I hold about 50/50 odds this bill will be defeated. But if it is, it will come back next year, and the next year, and…
Very awesome that you were able to get a politician to listen to you. If it’s a Dem though, yeah, might be hamstrung.
He’s GOP, family man and a vet. Still could be spineless, don’t know yet. But I’ll give him better odds than most of trying to do something.
Mary still believes in “racism” and has called me racist many times for putting my own people first, you know, like normal people do; like most Peoples do.
Whites are weak in this regard. They can be manipulated more easily than most, and thus they are.
“Stranger Danger!”
My woke commie frenemy’s anti-white feminazi daughter has been preaching this, and other catchy fear memes, to her son (6) and daughter (4) since before they understood language. “Don’t do that – it’s dangerous!” They’ve got all their shots – and then some. Fiercely protected by tiger mommy.
But never do mom, or dad – or the grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. (anybody but me) – ever read to the kids, or even play with them. No, just shove a touchscreen in their faces and let them entertain themselves. As a result, the kids are growing up feral – just like mom. (The dad had more parent-like parents, yet he turned out pretty much useless too.) The hyperactive Labrador has better manners than the son – who they now say is autistic, but definitely not from the neurotoxins in vaccines!
Overprotected, under-nurtured.
The son will grow up to be a school shooter and the daughter will be a prostitute. Maybe I should adopt them before it’s too late…

Blackbird:
Just returned from little excursion to nephew’s home to bring late birthday present and collect plate I brought the previous birthday on.
My great-nephew, lying on the couch, didn’t look up from his device when I came in.
Never really thanked me for the cake I had brought him some months ago.
No one thought to return the plate to me, although they come into town all the time.
Bottom line: The idea of manners and courtesy, not to mention maybe actually learning to make an effort to have a conversation (with an older relative) in a social situation, seems to have totally flown out the door.
make that “previous birthday CAKE”
Yikes. Yeah, not happening with our boy. He has no access to devices besides 30-60 mins of Scooby Doo or similar on the TV to which he does not have a remote.
I see other kids as young as two walking around with their mommy’s phone, playing video games.
Islander just described the person that toddler will likely become.
A bummer for all. Sorry to hear. Hope it was a good cake…
Also, the Twins are going to suck again this year. Buxton and Correa will be injured within weeks of the start of the season.
Just calling ’em as I see ’em.
Happy Sunday, y’all!
Happy Sunday!! i hope everybody has a great week!!
CPAC!
I listened to Trump. I heard him effectively attack the poison in our country, the Deep State, the Swamp. He went after the real enemy, the consortium of socialist Democrats and RINOS, especially the Bush family.
Fox polled members of the CPAC crowd and found that Trump is it, only one of twenty polled supported DeSantis. The crowd in 2023 overwhelmingly support Trump.
I will tell you why, my opinion. Trump is the only game in town that absolutely supports the idea that the number one enemy of the Constitution is our own government, the countrywide control of the Deep State, or is that the Creep State. He is it. All the rest are afraid of the Deep State or out and out support it.
I support Trump and see no one who will challenge him except the Deep State judicial system including many RINOs that want to crush him. As all of the BS that has been leveled at him is exactly that, he will never be convicted of anything and will be the candidate. The MSM and Biden already know this and are going on the Trump attack already.
The real battle here is how do strict constructionist Constitution folk put down the “gimme” socialist revolution going on. It IS the battle for the 250 year old goodness that is America.
Speaking of Biden BS, here is one. A women who lost two sons to fentanyl poisoning is coming down hard on Biden for laughing off the epidemic. His response? He actually said that the fentanyl came over during Trump’s time so it was Trump’s fault. We are being led by imbeciles.
Only one thing is going to stop the inrush of illegals, slaves, prostitutes, Chinese, and that are killing our folks and crushing our society. That is to stop immigration at the border then control who we really need.
One one person has the guts to face down the rotten core of the Deep State and stop this shit that is happening.
Trump! I wait for an admission that he took really bad advice from the Corrupt medical community and upon reflection realizes the mistakes that were made and pledges to identify the Covid bullshit and finally stop it.
BTW, 2024 will be the final attempt to stop the socialization of the US. If the gimme demographics overwhelms the Costitutionalists, it is over. If election cheating controls the vote, it is over. Are the GOP boys in the House doing anything about finding out how the elections could be fixed, how to stop it (easy peasy, get rid of the machines)
Some fool once said: Fool me once, I’m a fool. Fool me twice… I won’t get fooled again.
Dis
How many times has the American public, especially the Blacks, been fooled by our Deep State?
Jazzer,
That was a riff on Georgie Boy, aka “43,” who tried to appropriate that phrase and got lost in the nuance. He was so refreshing! A bumbling, laugh a minute idiot, whose self-appointed job was to keep us all amused.
I thought it was Reagan who put out the “Fools me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me” meme.
Reagan might have done it too, I dunno. But it 43 who made a total hash of it. You could actually see the little gears in his brain slipping when he started it and then realized he didn’t know how to get out of it.
Priceless!

You aren’t really battling with socialists though. You are battling with behind the scene oligarchs and plutocrats who have bought off the government and have weaponized it against the population. Sure they will use various groups as foot soldiers but the reality is that they want to completely strip the masses of wealth and property and turn them into slaves.
We should stop calling people masses or for that matter, consumers. They are people after all.
But then again…
Thank you for that check. I suppose I have been desensitized to dehumanizing language!
Talk to the Mob, they treat the masses to large doses of fentanyl. They think of people as dirt to be ground underfoot.
Yes, if you are referring to the criminal element of our country, the Mob, I agree.
However, like the Communist mob in Russia in 1917, they are using socialism to gain control.
You describe feudal ends for what is going on. Absolutely. Look at the Aggie areas of California, landholders and Mexicans. Mexicans = Serfs.
BTW, the shake out of the college educated middle class that is currently happening is just the beginning. Middle level management in this country is going to get clobbered. I read a story this AM saying that the middle class is being converted to McDonald jobs. Obama wanted to make big changes, from a manufacturing giant to a service economy.
Well, CFNers, welcome to Obama’s brave new world.
Talk is cheap.
I remember the UK variant. They rolled it out in Dec. 2020, right in time to scare people into taking the vaccine.
I remember that they told us that the ”first case” in the US was some dude in Colorado that had not traveled to the UK, but somehow was sick with the UK variant.
Say what? That made no sense, but by December 2020 they no longer even tried making epidemiological sense. They had found out that people are idiots and will believe anything they are told.
Anyway, that is when I really decided that they were releasing new variants on purpose, and the Russian MoD agrees with me.
”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.”
This was from May, 2020….
”There is only a 50% chance of the Oxford coronavirus vaccine working because cases in the UK are declining so fast, one of the scientists behind it has warned……
But with the number of UK coronavirus cases dropping every day, there may not be enough people to test it on, according to the institute’s director Professor Adrian Hill.
He told The Sunday Telegraph: “It’s a race against the virus disappearing, and against time. We said earlier in the year that there was an 80% chance of developing an effective vaccine by September.”
/news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-disappearing-so-fast-oxford-vaccine-has-only-50-chance-of-working-11993739
So of course they had to spread a “new variant”. The old one was gone by then. That is how respiratory viruses do.
Well said.
Re: “by December 2020 they no longer even tried making epidemiological sense.”
They made no epidemiological sense since day 1 of the entire plandemic. Remember Dr. Ionnidis warning about the lockdown and what it would do, and same with those 2 doctors who ran a clinic in CA and got a million views on their presser (in April, 2020 IIRC) who YouTube shut down? That was before they started shutting down natural health clinics that pushed vitamin C & D, etc. They have been against epidemiological reality all along. They flat out ignored the most credentialed epidemiologists in the country so they could run their hoax.
Now it’s coming out in the wash but I honestly doubt anyone will see jail time. Unless, of course, it’s another Scooter Libby fall guy/scape goat situation.
Because you know, Scooter Libby did the Iraq war crimes all by himself – lol.
The story that it came from China and then showed up in Iran, Italy and a Washington state nursing home, made no epidemiological sense either.
And then it spread to Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York nursing homes, and to Indian reservations in Arizona and North Dakota (uranium and oil under those reservations).
The whole thing was fishy as hell.
Kind of like AIDS showing up in NY, SF and Haiti at the same time.
I remember arguing with a facebook friend I had at the time. She was a nurse in Arizona and kept moaning about how sick the Indians were.
I pointed out that there was no logical reason that covid should be ravaging the reservation.
How many Chinese visit isolated reservations in the middle of nowhere? How many Native Americans travel overseas to China?
Come on, man!
It had to have been spread artificially. ‘
She was unable to comprehend my point, just kept crying about her patients.
OK, yeah, this is a tragedy. But how did it happen???? It could not have happened naturally.
Well, I guess thanks to the UK “health” minister’s leaked communications, we have been vindicated.
Except I don’t really think they released any pathogens, I think they poisoned people and called it a variant. OR they just messed with our minds and it worked on scared people who then started to believe they were sick.
I have more and more belief it was the latter.
Well, obviously, I disagree. There is too much evidence that people were really sick.
They are releasing bioweapons and then gaslighting us about them.
I remember a map that I found in an article back in early 2020 that showed the prevalence of the various “strains” of “Covid” in each country.
China: almost all cases, one strain.
Italy: the same, but a different strain.
Iran: ditto.
The US: 4 or 5 “strains” roughly equal in prevalence.
You don’t have to be a population geneticist to see that smoking gun.
2020 was just an average flu season, Paula. So you’re wrong. The vaccines and the shutdowns did the Devil’s work, at least in most places. Some other countries – maybe there was really something. Or maybe even in New York.
I would not at all doubt that some pathogen was unleashed in some heavily populated areas to create a pandemic-like situation, yes. I’m just not convinced it was a virus.
Is it true that Putin has ordered that all covid 19 vaccine stockpiles in Russia be destroyed? I saw a post about this and did not know if it is fake news. Apparently a scientist who developed the Sputnik vaccine for rona was found dead.
I hope it’s true.
That sounds like some serious mis-information;
Here’s a little factoid;
When the CIA released COVID in Sep2019 on wuhan-wet-market, iran, milan-italy, and mid-west mil heading toward wush mil games oct2019
Like Spanish Flu 1918, it didn’t come from spain, but only spain was reporting so it got called ‘span-flu’; Here China was first to report this ‘flu’ so it got tagged ‘china-flu’ ( trump )
Now the vax; Russia right away early 2020 released ‘sputnik’ their pure tradition vax for covid; China released sino-vac; I personally know of no cases where anybody was harmed from sino-vac or sputnik, but I know 100’s of cases where people were harmed from mRNA vaxes forced by west big-oil MED complex, untested and fast-tracked by trump;
The spanish flu began in mid-west mil bases, troops were shipping by train&ship all over the world to fight WW1, entire ships had men 100% infected on arriving at ports all over the world entire local populations were wiped out;
Seems to be a cohen-cidence, but a 100 year cycle and exactly the same exact play-book;
Lastly china/russia vax was a real vax, they used dead covid-cells to make the vax; unlike the bill-gates mRNA vax which they had patents +20 years, and the COVID itself was patented in the early 1990’s by Canada, UK, & USSA;
Russia&China are under attack here by CIA and China&Russia have fought back hard without destroying their economy’s; China of course locked down the most, but they were also attacked the hardest;
The most untold story is how the COVID was used in Milan-Florence factorys where 10’s of 1000’s of chinese girls work as slave labor for ‘made in italy’ tags, think GUCCI; These grils since the 1990’s in Italy supplement their income with sex services with elder italian men, this is why milan-florence region of older men was completely wiped out by COVID in late 2019 & early 2020; The girls of course in Jan 2020 by the 1,000’s all returned home for ‘spring fest’ ( called chinese new year by west ), so they took the infection all over china; Of course the wet market was also hit;
Want to know how they aerosol spray COVID? Study “Suterra” a USSA/ISRAEL company that makes sterilants from iso-cyanate ( crazy glue ) where pills have hooks the coating can dissolve from hours to years; Thus they spray cocktails on MENA and complete denial as the sterilants and/or bio-weapons don’t kick in for weeks or months or longer; The coatings have hooks where they remain in the lungs or intestines;
Very interesting! I’ll look into it. Yeah I had heard early on that the vax developed in both Russia and China were not mrna based.
” variability uncharacteristic of most coronaviruses, ”
Wrong. Corona viruses are known for their quick mutation rate.
That is THE REASON why there has never been a successful vaccine for the common cold, and flu vaccines are guesswork.
This was very clearly stated in a paper that appeared just a few weeks ago, that basically admitted that the whole idea of a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 was very far-fetched from the get-go.
I posted an excerpt from that paper on an earlier thread.
No, Islander, corona viruses are NOT known for their quick mutation rate, and I’m pretty sure that I posted proof of that to you a while back.
They are known for being relatively stable viruses, as RNA viruses go.
So, no. You are wrong and the Russian MoD is right.
The transgender situation is not what many think it is. It is an important part of getting us to the Great Reset.
Another great article by Jennifer Bilek, who has been writing about this for years.
“Transgender is not a type of person. It is the conglomerate name for an array of corporate pressures which groom children and adults for industrial body dissociation, thus opening humanity to further corporate encroachments into our bodies. It is the colonization of humans, directly targeting the next generation. It is, as renowned transhumanist Martine Rothblatt states, “the on-ramp to transhumanism.”

Corporate pressure indeed. The Trans is a perfect consumer. A perfect customer. Permanently unhappy with needs that can’t ever be satisfied. The Trans person is somebody that spends money like it is not funny. Things go better with coke don’tcha know.
Corporate pressure like the pressure suggesting a 40% tip on rhe purchase of a five buck fast food munchie. Minimum wage workers did not put that software on the sales point machine. Corporate prefers not paying workers. That is who suggests a 17 20 40 or even 60% tip. If you feel bad and are on a guilt trip you might tip.
Drug dealers know about people with needs that can’t be met. Madison avenue took a lesson.
Spot on.
Keith doesn’t like gays very much. Mary does – very much.
The whole Gay movement was the on ramp to the Trans movement. And WW1 to WW2 and WW2 to the New World Order.
“Keith doesn’t like gays very much. Mary does – very much. ”
Another hostile, trollish, and also, BTW, totally idiotic comment from Jarek.
Jarek probably likes boys but can’t admit it. All of this hate speech he spews is overcompensation.
Well we know he hates women, so….
Water vapor is a potent greenhouse gas, it can trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere and contribute to the warming of the planet.
When temperatures increase due to other factors , more water evaporates from the Earth’s surface and enters the atmosphere. This additional water vapor amplifies the greenhouse effect, increasing the temperature of the Earth.
As the atmosphere warms, it can hold more moisture, leading to even more water vapor being present in the air. This can create a feedback loop. Increasing temperatures lead to more water vapor in the air,
Water vapor is an essential component of the Earth’s atmosphere. Necessary for life as we know it, but an increase in water vapor due to climate change can contribute to warming of the planet.
Say it ain’t so Night Fowl.
I wonder where the record cold world-wide this winter is coming from.
Hmmm.
Out your ass is where it is coming from. Did you forget Putin would have been in Kiev by now had the ground frozen?
Hmmm.
You’re gonna get the newspaper again if you keep growling like that, Dawg.
I thought it was cute.
It’s all fun and games until he bites someone.
You can find it anywhere. Record cold. Snow in Los Angeles.
Keep deluding yourself though. It’s funny.
Anecdotal, but we’ve had a fairly warm and dry winter over here in Nova Scotia, Canada. It’s only recently gotten cold and snowy and we’re almost in spring.
I also caught some sort of news that said that Ottawa’s wprld-famous Rideau Canal skating rink (longest in the world maybe) didn’t open this year.
If K-Chien is correct about the ground in Ukraine or Kiev being not properly frozen, then perhaps that’s where your record cold is coming from; the temps at different locales are ‘swapped’.
One recalls the Land Pirates of Newfoundland who would fuck with the lighthouse beam so as to lure ships on to the rocks.
Commander Rockwell spoke of Chart forgers and Civilization wreckers in his classic work, White Power.
The likely cause of this record world-wide cold was the Hunga
Tonga eruption of Jan. 2022. A massive eruption that kicked
enormous amounts of water vapor into the mesosphere. The
last year has seen much cooler temps in the S. Hemisphere.
Now this water vapor is cooling the N. Hemisphere. Supposed
to be cooler temps for another year or so. So stay today,
tomorrow and forever cool.
K-C, I wrote something upthread: March 5, 2023 at 2:50 am
K, maybe you should go and work for Putin, to determine his strategy and tactics.
Most people I am reading are saying that the “big offensive” has likely been shelved because the game board has changed—-or the whole idea was a feint in the first place.

K, you also haven’t addressed proof by Night Owl and others that sea levels have not risen.
Al Gore said the coasts would be uninhabitable by now in his fearmonger movie around 2005 or so.
Of course, he and the other scaremongers have mansions on all the coasts.
He’s working on the models, Mary. You can’t actually SEE the rise in the water level, you see; understanding the concept of rising sea levels is much more complicated.
😀
I should do a photoshop of him out there under the Statue of Liberty measuring the water level.
I never claimed sea levels rose. What are you talking about.
Please don’t answer.
We know you don’t want anyone to answer, as the results are nearly always detrimental to whatever you claimed.
It’s coming from the massive eruption of Hunga Tonga.. The likely cause of this record wold-wide cold was the Hunga Tonga eruption of Jan. 2022.

I’d be pissed too if I had my ass handed to me as you did up thread K-Mao.
Life goes on. You will get over it.
Where was K-Chien’s ass handed to him upthread, I’d like to read it.
Do a search for “Night Owl” and I am guessing you will find it. 🙂
This is news to me.
In that comment thread where you tried to pile on, and then tried to save face.
There is a much bigger problem if you are right. Personally since carbon is necessary for life I am not so sure at all about this whole CO2 obsession thing. There is also a carbon life cycle you know. But in any case, some amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is actually being lost to space. Like of course other compounds too. So the more water vapor available in the atmosphere then even more water vapor gets siphoned off to space. That is allegedly how Mars eventually lost its surface water.
The powers that be have convinced the more stupid among us that C02 (the stuff of life) is killing us.
They’re widening the definition, from “carbon dioxide” to “carbon”. As in “carbon credits”. Listen to the more stupid among us as they warn us of the dangers of “carbon”.
Carbon, the real stuff of life.
“Carbon-based life is dirty and racist. Only silicon-based life must be allowed.” – Greta “I’m gonna hold my breath until you die” Thunberg at some point in the near future.
Silicon life forms move verry-verry srowry. Ask any stalagmite.
Yes, they are doing this because they want to remove us from our natural environment, in addition to controlling everything we do.
Yes.
Fear C02, fear nature, fear the natural world, fear our natural bodies…
I know I’m being childish again.

Oh, Hear my fear,

“This additional water vapor amplifies the greenhouse effect, increasing the temperature of the Earth.”
Really? Clouds make the earth warmer? New one on me.
The real problem is when water vapor escapes too high into the stratosphere (or maybe even higher) and there is no cloud formation. This is what I read is occurring over Lake Mead.
There is drought all over the western half of the US. A good deal of it is from bad environmental practices.
People call it global warming but it appears to be a result of out of control forest fires from bad forestry practices, over-development in areas where it shouldn’t occur, and lots of other factors.
And of course CA and NV are heavy dessert areas that were re-engineered into different types of habitat by dams and aquaducts, which as we know doesn’t last (see: Dust Bowl).
It is drier but only as much as many times before. See Anasazi history.
Drought, and beetles combine to destroy pines. Dead pines lead to wildfires. Climax forests are too old, capillary action can lift water only too far. Once a tree tops out, it’s lifetime is short, contributing again to the fire load. Not letting small fires burn through the forest bottom to burn out underbrush creates the hot, hot fires we are witnessing. The hot fires make recovery difficult and lead to flooding as roots are killed. So yes, forest management, Smoky Bear style is showing itself to be a disaster now. The drought is an intermittent aggravent.
Our really stupid uncaring real estate industry is the real problem along with the snowbird relocation industry that is bringing more and more people to the SW. Phoenix metro has over six million now, bigger than Philly, in the middle of a desert. LA area is a desert, Las Vegas is a desert. We need more dams and dam maintenance like dredging out the silt buildup to capture nature’s H2O bounty when it is available. Folks in California have rightfully gotten pissed watching the water bounty of this winter just run into the ocean. The reservoirs are full, but will be drained again quickly if the drought resumes. The big three, Mead, Powell and Flaming Gorge are going to get a respite this winter but it is just a start.
Recent restrictions have been put on the developers in Phoenix as our available water is petering out. Two million planned additional population growth is on hold now as the water requirements cannot be met. Housing prices are on an uptrend again. Available homes are falling in number.
The problem is too many people, too much needed water in a desert, people moving into wildfire prone areas making maintenance impossible.
As of now, nothing being done really about the problems. What do you think, is Biden’s Interior and BLM management groups just as worthless as the rest of them?
You note that there are too many people living in the desert and that there is not enough water to support that many people.
But your “solution” is to have Big Government dam up every damn puddle so that the Gimmes can continue to live in the desert?
Honestly, John, if you could hear yourself…….
“Folks in California have rightfully gotten pissed watching the water bounty of this winter just run into the ocean. ”
What?
Here is a drought map:
https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap.aspx
Looks like KS and NE are getting the brunt of it. Not good for the Ogallala Aquifer, which basically makes the Great Planes states habitable.
Dis
The Ogallala aquifer is ice melt from the last ice age, trapped in sedimentary rock layers that cross the Great Plains.
Like oil, it is limited in availability and when it is gone, the bread basket will be over.
Arizona developed legitimate cities and agriculture in spite of being in droughts in the desert. Drought only accentuates human greed and stupidity.
“Arizona developed legitimate cities and agriculture in spite of being in droughts in the desert. Drought only accentuates human greed and stupidity.”
What?
“legitimate cities” = ? ?

It is a world of digital currencies and digital IDs, vaccine passports and 15-minute cities, electrification and driverless cars. All of it based around the “energy too cheap to meter” from wind turbines and solar panels, and all of it operated by autonomous artificial intelligence within the “singularity” of the “internet of things.”
It is a mirage, of course… one only visible to so-called “virtuals” – people whose lives and careers are now so detached from the material world that, were there not so many of them, could otherwise be diagnosed as certifiably insane.
”
Tim Watkins
But a mirage that they will try to make a reality nevertheless. Plus if it gets results it is not insane. But if it is a mirage ultimately then yes they are certifiably insane. Right?
Mirages can be photographed. They’re objective visual phenomena – but certainly not nearby water.
How wonderful clouds are! But when he get to them, they’re just fog. Where did the cloud go? Rainbows are even more beautiful and elusive. Many things look better from a distance. Close up? They disappear or become something different.
Who can forget the two girls taking Tom Cruise by his arms in Eyes Wide Shut. Where are you taking me, Tom asked. “To the End of Rainbow”, they replied.
I forgot that part of the movie. In fact I forgot almost all of it – except for the incredibly disappointing ending.
When I hear that Stanley Kubrick directed Eyes Wide Shut I realize I’m in a dream – you know, like when your hand goes through the light switch or the doorknob. The incongruity usually forces me to wake up. Why not this time?
And to think that in a hurry to finish a Tom Cruise movie before Kubrick died, Blood Meridian (“The best movie you never saw.”) had to be sidelined – forever.
We’d be living in a different world.
Eyes wide shut was quite revealing and contains many layers of symbolism and messaging.
There is a good writeup on it over at The Vigilant Citizen site.
Oh I know I love clouds! And rainbows too! Yes, a mirage does have a reality of its own, even if it isn’t a tangible reality to the observer other than just a visual reality. Which is why people can believe in a mirage so definitely I guess.
At the end of the rainbow the rainbow disappears so you never want to get to the end of the rainbow
You have to be at the proper angle to the light to see the prismatic effects that cause a rainbow.
where the rainbow appears to make “landfall,” or earthfall, is the wrong position.
Right. Which is why the rainbow disappears or more precisely never appears from that perspective.
I’m thinking the rainbow’s end is Jarek’s round waterbed
With deep shag carpet, a mirrored ceiling, a lava lamp, and a blacklight? Those were the days!
lol omg
You sound like Jar’s kind of woman.
I hope you can make it work.
Trump says he will increase fossil fuel exploration and production because it is safe and effective. LMAO
Grow grow grow ten new freedom cities built on federal land. They will provide affordable houses for the young. LMAO
Fossil fuels and concrete and steel for ten new cities. It is a game of chicken.
That whole freedom city concept seems sus to me. Sounds too similar to 15 minute cities.
or Chinese ghost cities
I was in China in 2006 and saw, up close and personal, a forest of highrises that faded into the distance with no tree or hardly a person in sight. It was ‘vaguely terrifying’– I’m not exaggerating– like being in a dystopia or on another planet.
It sounds totally awful
Sounds to me like “freedom fries”. No more French fries, Pierre.
I know freedom fries is such a dumb name
Anybody remember “freedom fries”?. Why not freedom cities then?
No politician can be honest and realistic about what our future will be. If he/she did, they’d not get elected. Once the dollar is rejected overseas for trade, our future will be only what we can afford, not necessarily what we want and especially not what politicians promise. Trump is talking crazy crap about flying cars in the future utopian suburbia he’s promising. Yet at the moment we cannot operate trains safely. Hey Trump, why not promise to get the damn railroads fixed?
What happened to the old days a century ago when more realistic promises were made by the Republican party. Anybody remember from history class – “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage”. But nnooooooooooooo! That’s not good enough for us nowadays. Gotta have at least three cars out front, and before long a flying car! WTF?
The reality is that you need this sort of marketing to get the normies on board.
Once they figure out what a 15-min. digitized dystopia is, they will run to whoever promises them the exact opposite, and whoever does so with the same fervor that the criminals marketed the Agenda 2030 nonsense.
TBH, something of this nature is probably the only realistic strategy at this point.
This is why, although I support many of Trump’s ideas, I could never truly be a part of the MAGA crowd, as it is fllled with the same kind of numpties as the BlueAnon crowd.
The solution lies inbetween the two extremes (as so often), but the masses must still be guided. I think Trump understands this concept.
” Once they figure out what a 15-min. digitized dystopia is, they will run to whoever promises them the exact opposite ”
( IF I understand you correctly … )
Nope.
CFN itself abounds in examples where people will vote for a totalitarian measure in a New York minute when they are stupid enough to think the dog in this case will always be sicced on another.
Indeed , I have barely been on CFN three years ( ? )
and have already experienced where someone is bitching and moaning that they are being singled out and picked on by baddies ,
when barely a year prior I told them ( and I don’t claim psychic powers. Psychic powers were scarcely necessary )
that what they are advocating will be used AGAINST THEM.
The only surprise was how quickly the worm turned.
My point was actually about the worm turning.
Once people experience “15-minute cities,” geofencing, and the electrification and networking of their vehicles, meters, appliances, etc., they will understand that they have been imprisoned.
Some of the cud-chewers will wake up earlier than others, and this is who Trump may be playing to.
My own brother is a cud-chewer and has slowly started to realize that the fake vaccine he took to keep his job may have been responsible for the neropathies he has developed over the past two years.
He no longer supports what he once supported.
“neuro”
They’re called reservations.
Cheap gas and cheap cigarettes.

Yeah, but the smart money holds out for Wall Drug. It’s worth the wait.
Speaking of fossil fuels, at my class today, the program room of a local library, the heard that when the weather went subzero a couple of weeks ago, the mini-splits totally gave out. Unable to heat the room. Everyone kept had to keep their down coats on . . .
In fact, it sounded as though the minisplits had somehow stopped functioning altogether in extreme cold (not just that they didn’t produce enough heat).
Trump champions oil availability because he is wise enough to realize that the GND alternatives are bullshit. What is missing is the realization that new ways of transportation are going to be needed to offset oil scarcity, not EVs, not more electricity, not more offshore wind farms killing sea life. He knows what is coming, what he is not getting are any alternatives. The US is based on FF more than any other country, he wants oil to be utilized until it cannot be any longer. The alternative is what we have witnessed since 2021, depleting oil causing inflation and economic stagflation.
Taking ten cities and giving them developmental money to come up with ideas to counter all the negative trends may be the only way to stop the downfall of the country. Better that than giving it all to the welfare state and UBIs.
Edpell, you gave two great reasons to vote for Trump.
None of any developmental monies should be given to ultra blue cities. It will be stolen by the Mob.
The parents of this girl should be jailed.

OMG.
I’m getting to the age where you are daily , unavoidably , reminded that you might any day wind up in a euphemism for prison merely because you are old , and alone.
So then I’m tempted to get depressed because I never got married and never had children.
But when that happens I invariably wind up reminding myself that there is ALWAYS some sizeable faction of the population that wants to incarcerate me and take my kids away because __________ .
I don’t know about the kid ,
but my best guess is the crowd in the video is primarily made up of people who bitch that they are persecuted ,
and at the very same time think I should be persecuted.
There is always the possible silver – lining ;
The kid grows up to hate and despise his / her parents.
And not because I brainwashed the kid.
The kid never even met me , or heard of me.
At this point in history, I am 100% happy not to have had kids.
I would not deal with the current wokeism and grooming well. I can tell you that.
And what of all the other adults clapping and encouraging her?
They are idiots and pervs.

Lol this is good! Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed! I got a major kick out of it. Funny stuff.
Jacob Dreizin’s obsession with Alexander Mercouris truly knows no bounds.
Even on Sunday.
Thus just out, under a video of Biden slurring his words:
“What the hell is he saying?
I dunno.
It’s hard to make out.
Probably something like:
“Mercouris takes an hour to say what he could in five minutes, because he’s a businessman, and he’s keeping you hooked for his YouTube ads. If you feel triggered by this, please unsubscribe from my mailing list, and never visit this site again, because I have a different business model, and you’re obviously a broke ass teenage groupie, who will never give me any money, not even five dollars, not now and not five years from now, despite all the value you gain from this blog, and the enormous time I put into it. Please go flush yourself down the can, because you are crap.”
+++++
well well well.
but check out his site.
It is interesting.
But the Mercouris fetish is really de trop.
I wonder whether it is getting people to send him more money.
httpX://thedreizinreport.com/2023/03/05/dreizin-on-belief-and-unbelief/
Ugghh don’t you hate how everything just becomes so political and people get so ugly so quick. I like the way Alexander Mercouris presents his information. I don’t even understand how a business model fits in that discussion but ok. It sounds like various people need to grow up.
What happened in Greece when the left caved in to the EU—I remember it well.
But this is a total shocker.
Hundreds die in corruption-driven train disaster:
httpX://www.defenddemocracy.press/a-devastated-greece/
A few grafs from the story about the Greek train wreck (both literal and figurative, unfortunately). It feels a bit like a preview of coming attractions . . . : :
“The policy of the New Democracy party, which is neither new nor democratic (it increasingly evokes the pre-junta, pre-1967 authoritarian “democracy” in Greece), has been accompanied by a wave of authoritarianism and by the complete surrender of the country to its foreign “protectors” from the “collective West. Greece has been transformed into a western “debt colony”, then turned also into a “military-geopolitical” and a “data colony”, in complete contradiction to the views and the feelings of the Greek population, which has in the past struggled heroically to defend its country against direct or indirect foreign aggression, including against Hitler and Mussolini. ***(Maybe this struggle explains the hatred of some forces inside the very centers of western powers towards Greeks and Greece).****
New Democracy was preparing to trigger elections when the train crash happened. Now it will probably put them off for at least a few weeks. It is pretty certain that it will suffer serious electoral losses, though it is not easy to calculate how great they will be. We also do not know whether the other two opposition parties, SYRIZA and PASOK, will benefit from the tragedy, given the responsibility that they also bear for their policies in the past and the absence of any credible project for the future of Greece. The leaderships of both those parties are more interested in attracting the favor of the Greek ruling classes and of the external forces nowadays controlling Greece than in addressing the deep anti-establishment, radical feeling in sections of Greek public opinion and, in particular, the Greek popular classes (as it happens, unfortunately, with large parts of the western Left, more and more representing rather themselves and middle bourgeois strata of the population than the people).
But in the wake of the train tragedy, there has been a very hopeful and encouraging evolution, in the spontaneous mass movement of Greek youth, students and pupils who mobilized in many Greek towns with demonstrations and occupations, expressing their anger at the tragedy. They are less burdened by the defeats of previous generations and more determined to claim back their stolen country.”
Yes that seems pretty incomprehensible that they allowed two trains going opposite directions on the same track.
Trains in the USA might be in worse shape and more poorly operated than they are in Greece. If we had passengers riding on our trains as well as freight, we’d probably be losing hundreds of people each month from train wrecks. But since we’re such losers that we can’t have passenger trains, we need only worry about toxic spills and explosions that kill many people yet far more slowly (and possibly more effectively).
Very likely, when we finally are forced to use trains again because cars can’t be practically fueled or recharged anymore – when that time arrives we’ll not be traveling any faster than 30 mph or so max speed because dirt poor countries like the future USA won’t be able to afford to have a system going any faster than that safely. And those trains might well be running on coal instead of diesel. We’ve about burned up all our heavy crude here that’s needed to make diesel. Fracking and tar sand oil is only good for making the lighter distillates like gasoline.
Talking about ‘mercouris’ I agree, seems that most ‘alt-woke’ talking heads now are moving to substack where they can monetize their endless ‘sky is falling’ bs
That said, since March 1, some six ‘major sites’ that I know of have been shutdown, I’ll mention one “thesaker.is”, saker has been a goto for like +10 years where you could get all over the map info; He shutdown because essentially like most of our ‘alt-woke’ he’s operating with the USSA and subject to being ‘assanged’ and/or ‘snowdend’; It appears that telling the public the truth about what’s going on in say “UKRAINE”, is a very dangerous thing to do;
All this makes perfect sense, Ukraine has public kill-lists of anybody that Ukraine wants dead, including “Scott Ritter” which is at the top of the kill-list and he too is in USSA, but say’s that he’s too ‘high level’ to be taken out;
People like Saker, a swiss citizen living in USSA can just be black-bagged and who’s to know;
So sites like CFN are fewer and fewer where people can share observations on the ‘How to serve man’, twilight zone show progresses;
Your comment appears to be a bit disjointed and confusing as to what exactly it does or does not support – not sure what to make of it. I might add that proper punctuation is not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, and in many cases actually aids in understanding. Who knew?
I understand pretty well what Kiwi is saying.
Driezin’s fury at Mercouris seems to be that Mercouris has a Youtube channel from which he makes money on ads. Youtube has guidelines that Mercouris follows in order to retain his channel, and his Youtube income.
This infuriates Dreizin because he, Driezin, breaks :Youtube rules. The thing that is funny is that Dreizin has a bunch of draconian rules relating to any comments about jews.
Thus, plus his recent off-the-wall nutter harangues about Christians and Christianity, have led me to conclude that Dreizin is some kind of hasbara operative.
