Hieronymus Bosch: The Harrowing of Hell (Or USA Election 2020)

These dog days of summer, an anxious stillness descends across the USA as the pandemic pulses through the land in fearsome new waves, and incomes vanish, and businesses roll over, and unpaid payments-due tip lives into the bardo of default, and the idle hours of no work, no money, no company, and perhaps no future weigh cruelly on the 99 percent of citizens not girded with portfolios of FAANG stocks. A collapse of just about everything is on all at once — economic, political, cultural, social — and the election looms yet more ominously than Covid-19.

The New York Times and its media co-seditionists insist that massive mail-in voting will do just fine despite plenty of evidence that it’s already a demonstrable fiasco — for instance in the recent New York primary where two congressional district contests remain undecided months later due to ballot irregularities. The boards of election “had operational issues,” as Governor Cuomo put it, “and we have to learn from them” — another teachable moment in the Democratic Party’s valiant struggle to morally improve America strictly on its own terms.

Over in Nevada, the state legislature passed a mail-in vote scheme that will send ballots out to everybody and his-or-her uncle, with no ID required, and a feature that permits ballots to be filled-out by someone other than the addressed voter. Nice! A “ballot-harvesting” model for other states. In California, where anybody with a driver’s license is automatically registered to vote via the 2015 “New Motor Voter Act,” ballots will go out to 600,000 un-documented non-citizens who were granted licenses under a separate act (AB-60) the same year. Do you suppose all of them will conscientiously toss their ballots in the trash while California’s mighty Democratic Party machine importunes them to vote early-and-often?

There’s your set-up for a 2020 election that can’t possibly be resolved, and a recipe for a Hieronymus Bosch style orgy of Lawfare litigation that would deliberately seek to confound the Federal Election Commission’s best efforts to untangle the mess — just as Lawfare is doing in the mess of a case against General Flynn — and effectively end 232 years of continuous, orderly four-year election cycles. Is that what you want?

The other index of the Democratic Party’s desperation is the ongoing emperor’s-new-clothes charade posing the effigy of Joe Biden as a serious candidate for a rather important position in government. Everybody knows that they know — and we know that they know that we all know — that Mr. Biden is sailing into a fog-bank of senility, and more measurably each day! His every staged performance is an obvious embarrassment of fumbled phrases and things forgotten. They are going to have to find a replacement. It really comes down to two figures: Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. What a predicament!

Mr. Sanders, though not demented, is just too old and his heart attack earlier in the year can’t be reassuring — not to mention the fact that as a declared “socialist” he automatically alienates enough voters in the old blue-collar swing states to render him a loser. Plus, the DNC hierarchy hates him, has plotted against him at every turn in the past two presidential primary seasons, and quite possibly rigged this year’s Super Tuesday vote to successfully dump him in favor of the phantom they now pretend is leading the party.

Hillary still owns the DNC — literally. Nobody knows how much of the Clinton Foundation’s ill-gotten moolah still underwrites the party’s national operations. The arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell, with new allegations about Bill Clinton’s capers on Epstein’s Pedo Island, is a strange twist with mystifying implications — especially the timing and the motives of those in the DOJ’s Southern District who stage-managed it. With the Clintons, intrigues always abound. But if ever there was a Lady Macbeth moment for wickedness to prevail, this is it. For now, the old warhorse is laying low on her yoga mat somewhere in the Chappaqua woods.

Who else is there? Andrew Cuomo, a longshot with that rap hanging over him about sending thousands of geezers to certain Covid-19 death in infected nursing homes, and Michelle Obama, a fairytale possibility that would have all the optics of an outright coup d’état.

In the meantime, the Dems have ginned up a soap opera over Mr. Biden’s supposed running-mate, starring several requisite POCs of the female persuasion, all unappetizing personalities, each in a distinctive way, none of them qualified to step into the main job when Mr. Biden is issued his 25th Amendment pink slip. The party has been half-heartedly hoisting their trial balloons in a predictable rotation following the dismally obvious affirmative-action script, just another hustle in the season of Black Lives Matter, the hallucination du jour in a year of neo-medieval mass psychosis.

    Marie-Antoinette had a mock French peasant village constructed on the Versailles palace grounds so that Marie-Antoinette could pretend that she was a French peasant.

    I wonder how weird our Elites are today? The picture of Jamie Diamond of JP Morgan taking a knee in support of Black Lives Matter was a bit weird.

    I wonder how weird the Communist Elites are? That hospital in Beijing for the Elites with the Eugenics sperm bank services was Freakie Deakie….

    • sanspeur August 3, 2020 at 10:23 am #

      True, and the light beginning to shine on our Elite’s more hidden perversions.

      Dig a little and you begin to see the current crop of elites haven’t changed much from the Aztecs 600 years ago. I’m thinking Trump has a enough Cortes in him to fumble his way to their destruction, while looting their temples.

      “The Communist Elites”? Do you really think the world’s billionaires, who exist at the pinnacle of Capitalism, are Communists? What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to do to arrive at that ridiculous conclusion?

      I was out last week doing some work on the family cabin. Basically cutting down 32 pine trees that had drowned from flooding last year. The twist is that it did not need to happen. The cabin is on an island. When we get blows water ends up in the HOA. Once upon a time we had pumps to get the water out quickly. The lake levels have been low for the better part of a decade and then the last couple of years “unexpectedly” rose. It seems the pumps were old and in disrepair. Drainage ditches not kept clean. Nobody bothered to maintain or update any of it. But we had money for news pools, water plant expansions (that apparently accommodated a country club style marina at a loss), etc. This despite HOA fees and assessments rising much faster than the rates of inflation over the last decade. Bonus is that we could basically not use the cabin last year- not permitted to use water while while flooded. Note that we were still required to pay for the service.

      The point of all this is that it is a micro version of the whole US right now. We pay, the money is stolen or used for new pools or other reverse welfare for the upper crust. Now everything is broken and we are broke.

      Good luck with the new normal.

        I was remarking on an appliance we have used for 20 years, over the weekend. It doesn’t approach needing to be replaced; I expect that modern appliances are more likely programmed to die, sooner.

        I’ve biked paths next to railroad tracks that are now decommissioned. The railroad bridges could not support the weight of a train, because the steel has rusted so badly for lack of maintenance. You could restore the rail line with new steel for a lot more money than would have been required to maintain state of good repair.

        The good news is that a lot of the stuff built before computers is ridiculously over engineered. A typical rule of thumb was to calculate the amount of steel needed and double it for a margin of safety, but an extra margin was added for calculation errors, so you had 4x the material needed.

        At a conversation in the early 90s with an architect, he mentioned how inefficient the Empire State Building was compared to modern skyscraper construction, and that you’d use 1/2 to 1/4 the structural steel building a similarly tall building. Of course, the ESB was hit by a government plane in 1945 and did not collapse; the WTC, built by a government agency “efficiently” in the 70s was hit by a private plane and collapsed.

        • messianicdruid August 3, 2020 at 11:40 am #

          I’m building fence now with old telephone poles. Most around here just use them for corner posts. Ours will be all two foot in the ground with a bag of quickcrete and six feet above ground. Woven wire five feet with barbwire on top. It will be here long after me.

        • MontanaMan August 3, 2020 at 5:19 pm #

          “the WTC, built by a government agency “efficiently” in the 70s was hit by a private plane and collapsed.“

          Not off the hyperbole. You make it sound like it was hit with a little bitty propeller plane. Your so full of shit. Why don’t you tell the truth and name the type of plane that hit both towers over, and over.

        • ThorsHammer August 4, 2020 at 4:59 pm #

          Dr Tom

          Except that the WTC had a little help from the Thermite charges placed on the vertical columns on the vacant 33rd floor.

          Speaking of another false flag—- the election circus held every four years in the USA—-.

          A PR battle royal over spoils and privilege between two factions of the War Party united in their goal of perpetuating the Empire and maximizing the amount of graft that can be extracted from it.

        Exactly! The one thing I’ve learned over the years in being involved in our HOA since 1992 is that it is really a microcosm of our national government

      • beantownbill. August 3, 2020 at 12:28 pm #

        Exactly! The one thing I’ve learned in being involved in our HOA since 1992 is that it is really a microcosm of our national government. Our homeowners are really nice, average people. Unfortunately, nice and average are not sufficient when running a multi-million dollar operation. Our main problem IMO, is that sadly these people are not aware they aren’t capable enough to run our complex.

        I place the blame for this on how the larger, outside world values individuals. We are taught that we are all equal. That is the issue. We aren’t. The founding fathers may have realized it, but if so, they didn’t state it clearly enough. We are all created equally worthy, but not equally capable. But not stating this leads to people being unable to admit they aren’t, because such an admission would make them feel inferior. In the end, reality always wins, so the business of running our country has gotten all messed up.

        My belief is that everything would be better if we were just told we are worthy beings, but we cannot do some things as well as others. We could be taught there’s no shame in that. I know this sounds elitist, but reality is reality.

          Yet there are soft hints sprinkled throughout one’s coming of age.

          Did your mother often sigh, exasperated after the latest unimpressive report card, “there’s always the civil-service”?

          Recommended for shop, technical, home-ec, vocational school?
          *I have a feeling they may no longer exist.

          When the military recruiters came trolling for low-hanging fruit at your high school did the counselor cough-up your name?

          This does not preclude one from having a successful future, or a rewarding future. It merely suggests your capabilities may lie somewhere other than the formal erudition of higher education. Regrettably, learning tradecraft, a process of tacit knowledge transference, bears the stigma of stupidity. Yet how many people of trade be it a medical doctor to an electrician to an architect to a machinist to a lawyer are geniuses at their craft but, peculiarly, seriously deficient in common sense or general knowledge?

          But colleges became a right, then a land grant, then a big business. Many of the aforementioned outgrew their immaturity, became better traditional students, and proved many wrong. More did not. They became ambulance chasers, insurance agents, salesmen, a corner cubicle manager in an office park.
          They made it, somehow. So of course they’re smart: see the sheepskin above the Dell? A generation of Dunning-Krugers, with the financial debt and the raised seal certificate to prove it.
          Well, that’s what society asks for, and well, that’s what society gets.
          Empty goalposts and dim lodestars.

            A tradesman with no commonsense outside his trade? Sure, maybe – but less likely than a Liberal Arts graduate sans trade who already has had commonsense beaten out of him.

        • orca August 3, 2020 at 3:42 pm #

          For years I have said The Founding Fathers f***ed up for lack of a good editor…..

          That whole “all men are created equal”…….They forgot “…..BEFORE THE LAW.” That was one of their main gripes after all. I’m sure they assumed descendants would grasp their intent. They assumed wrong.

          That right there would have put a stop to a lot of of current problems.

          • Soloview August 3, 2020 at 3:58 pm #

            Of course Epstein and Dershowitz were not created equal even before the law …at any rate, Anatole France had it right when he described,the kind of equality “where rich and poor have an equal right to sleep under the bridges.

    • zone45 August 4, 2020 at 10:50 pm #

      Hey fugeguy,
      You really do not have to look very far to find them.
      They are constanly with you.
      Are you married?
      have a mate, or significant other.
      We are all alien to each other on simple and basic levels.
      Can we all just get along?
      Good question. With who?
      Sometimes you are your own worse enemy.

      My typical day in the life goes something like this:

      I am in the powder room taking a piss, and she comes up to the door and asks me why is there a light on outside?
      So, I am a bit confused about this question, and alarms start going off in my brain, so I say what light and where? She tells me that it is in the back yard, and I am like, what part of the back yard. Then I remember.
      And I say, I just went out to put away some trash.
      Now, that seems simple enough. But look at the entire dynamic structure of that exchange.
      Instead of sounding a general alarm call, simply define the question and get specific.
      She should have and could have asked, did you leave the light on out back?
      Or better yet, just turn the fucking light off and go to bed.
      But if I try to correct her, then I am the monster.
      And this is the constant shit that I deal with every hour of every day.
      As soon as you make a comment, now you are in the dog house.
      Maybe I should get a dog. Give me something to hug at night.

      • fugeguy August 6, 2020 at 11:22 am #

        Zone45,

        Yea, been married for 26 years.

        Guess I am lucky in that my wife is source of joy in my life. Know many where that is not the case. My advice to them is always the same. Try to fix it starting with yourself. If not,why sleep with someone you do not like? Better to sleep alone.

        Another area where the world has changed. If my wife got hit by a bus doubt I’d even date. The male female dynamic has been, in my opinion, one the things purposefully destroyed. BTW my wife fully agrees.

    ‘ For now, the old warhorse is laying low on her yoga mat somewhere in the Chappaqua woods.’. I suppose one could be called worse things than an old warhorse. At least it implies previous battle experience and fortitude. I don’t like Mrs. Clinton. Or him. Can’t see Michelle Obama wanting the office of President or even Vice President. It doesn’t suit her personality despite her intellect, experience, and qualifications for the office.

    Yesterday evening and tonight the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. is running the Ken Burns documentary on Jackie Robinson. Those must have been interesting times in American history. Rachel Robinson was sure a classy lady. So well spoken. I wonder what she would have to say about the current ‘troubles’, as the Irish like to say……………

    • Pucker August 3, 2020 at 10:25 am #

      The Clintons are Elite weirdo’s….

      I wonder why they called him “Axel”? They think that Chelsea Clinton’s biological father is Webster Hubble who was also a partner at the Rhodes law firm in Little Rock Arkansas where Hillary Clinton worked.

      “ Louis XVI indulged her, giving her the Petit Trianon palace in the Versailles gardens as a private retreat, and allowing her to build the imitation peasant village, where she and her friends played at being milkmaids. He seems to have looked the other way when she made the dashing young Swedish nobleman Axel von Fersen her lover; evidence suggests that Fersen fathered the last two children she bore.22 Like Ménétra and his wife, however, Louis and Marie-Antoinette argued regularly over money.”

        How so? Maybe you could provide a single example of Mrs Obama representing your Country with anything other than integrity, intelligence, dignity and grace.
        If the main prerequisite for POTUS (as we are so often told) is “character”, she is more than qualified for the job – Unless you prefer the current petulant eight year old, or his senile, soon to be debating partner (if the former doesn’t throw a tantrum and refuse to turn up and the later doesn’t forget where the hall is).
        Mrs Obama has consistently refused to even consider entering politics – I have a feeling she knows better than most just how toxic it has become, and that her and her precious daughters are better off somewhere (anywhere) else.
        It’s a pity, but that’s what a toxic environment does – It drives out the people you actually need, and leaves you with… the likes of Trump and Biden.

            Why am I not surprised that you (Kim) would hold this particularly bizarre CT trope so dearly?

          • Majella August 4, 2020 at 9:21 pm #

            You’re insane. There’s no other explanation. I guess you can see whatever you WANT to see, but think about this:

            1) IF Michelle is a fully equipped male, would ‘they’ (who are perpetrating this horrendous hoax on you and a few hundred other nutjobs) take steps to HIDE the fact? Tight panties, or the like?

            Or

            2) IF you really think you can detect ‘junk’ in her pants, perhaps it’s a troll move – a sock or a banana in her panties – just to give you a freakily false sense of “gotcha”?

            But all that is academic. Those who hold to this insane belief are delusional, and anything else they (you) have to say can therefore be pretty handily discounted.

          • Spacecase August 5, 2020 at 11:07 am #

            I’ve seen an exercise video with Michelle Obama in spandex where they were filming her from all angles doing exercises. I can attest that she has no discernible “junk”. What you saw was most likely the standard audio gear that people on TV shows wear on their bodies so they can be heard properly. But you don’t really care about facts when you say stuff like that, do you?

          • GreenAlba August 5, 2020 at 8:59 pm #

            *crickets* from Kim on this one. I would have expected SOMETHING – perhaps a link to a video that had been through the Infowars.com ‘filter’, at least…

            See, Kim, when you go down the CT rabbit-hole, the bizarre effect is that you are all but OBLIGED to believe EVERY CT. Selectivity is not really an option, is it?

            So, no doubt, you also hold (but are smart enough not to state as much hereabouts):

            > The Earth is flat
            > 5G is the cause of coronavirus
            > Reptilian aliens run the planet
            > “Q” is real and DJT is the ONLY one who can save us from the paedophiles who inhabit DC & Hollywood w/ Pizzagate thrown in for good measure
            > ‘Crisis Actors’ are faking mass shootings so the scheming commies can take our guns away
            > The Elders of Zion’s current leader is the demonic George Soros who hs an evil plan to do the USA in

            …and so on.

            So, you may be extremely intelligent, Kim, well-read and educated, articulate & persuasive, but you’re not immune to this extremely common (and growing) ‘infection’.

            I’m not sure if you were around a few years back, but I have previously described my own experience of ‘the rabbit-hole’. Emerging from it is exactly like the biblical reference to scales falling from eyes. In my case, it was through a very patient long-term friend, who would constantly, but gently and without judging, push back whenever I started on one from the vast array of spiels all CT nutjobs have at their disposal.

            I still recall the moment when I realised it was all bullshit – someone ELSE, whom I’d never met before, started on ME, the way I had been with my friend, with the same tropes I’d been carrying around in my head and lecturing on for quite some years. Ouch. It was ugly and the benighted person looked like an absolute idiot. “Cured”.

            Prior to removal from you tube, there were 15 to 20 old videos of Mrs. O attacking America and whitey. Real racist comments no dot connecting required and in her own words. Complete hatred of the country and the un tanned- no doubts. If you are so inclined the videos still exist on other platforms.

            Fugeguy -any of them showing her ‘junk’? That’s all *I’m* on about here. It’s not SHE that’s the subject of this discussion, but rather, it’s Kim’s bald assertion of her being male, without evidence or reason.

            More importantly, it’s about Kim’s conscious DECISION to hold such mischievous drivel out as fact. If indeed s/he doesn’t believe it (which is actually more likely), then it’s just casual and negligent smearing, possibly designed to virtue-signal to her like-minded cohort of CT nutjobs.

            Either way, it’s despicable behaviour from someone who is clearly intelligent, educated and articulate.

    It is beyond obvious that we are now witnessing the historical dissolution of the United States of America.

    Our parents’ and grandparents’ generations experienced the rigors of two world wars and the Great Depression, the crucibles which tested and honed the American Spirit which reached its apotheosis at the end of World War II.

    Those of us of the Boomer persuasion have experienced the peak of the American experience —
    from 1946 to 1971 (when Nixon dropped the gold standard and sullied the Presidential office) — the Pax Americana if you will.

    And now we are sliding down the backward slope of the peak, and it seems to be accelerating by the day. In 20 years, you will not recognize the USA from what is was. It seems that the breakup of the nation into disparate regional countries is inevitable.

    The only question is, will the resultant society look more like
    The World Made By Hand or
    The Hunger Games?

      JFK sullied it, too. You just didn’t see it or ignored it:

      • CancelMyCard August 3, 2020 at 11:47 am #

        If the criterion for “sullying the office of President” includes carrying on a sexual affair, then I’d guess most presidents’ would fall under that umbrella, from Thomas Jefferson, through to and including JFK’s immediate predecessor, Eisenhower.

        What Nixon did was pure criminality.

        Affairs do not sully the integrity of the office, criminality surely does.

        • DrTomSchmidt August 3, 2020 at 1:37 pm #

          Read the description of Mimi Alford’s first sexual encounter, when she was touring the White House with JFK and he basically forced himself on her. Let’s just say, he didn’t ask permission. Today, we would call that sexual assault.

          Of course, they went on to have a consensual affair, so clearly she asked for it.

    Several weeks ago I thought that Susan Rice was the odds on favorite for Biden to pick. Of course it is going to be a black female, there can be no doubt about this. Although Rice has the personality and charisma of a brick, I figured she’d be the one because Kamala went after Biden pretty hard in the primaries and most of his allies have been lobbying against her.

    Well………now it appears that Kamala is the odds on favorite after all:

    Most of the anti Trump ads I’ve been seeing are posted by ‘The Lincoln Project’, which appears to consist of high level Republican operatives from the failed Romney and McCain campaigns.

    It seems the Dems whole strategy is anti Trump, without even mentioning or promoting their own candidate, Joe Biden. Maybe this is a winning strategy, I don’t know, but you’d think between now and November Biden would have to emerge from his basement and hold a press conference, or grant an interview with a reporter not handpicked by the DNC.

      It is a winning strategy. Obama flipped 3000 state legislative seats to the R’s. Trump has been death to Northeast Republicans, most of whom are quite liberal.

      Trump will rot out the GOP advantage if he wins, losing the Senate to go with the House, and losing the majority of state legislatures, so gerrymandering makes the 2020s impossible.

      And even though the MSM is not reporting this, the DNC delegate Bernie Bros and Sisters are letting Bernie know that unless he and Biden add Medicare for All to the platform they will make a huge stink and not vote for Biden. Even though Medicare for All was Bernie’s signature platform position, the DNC will NOT allow it!

    Meso-American societies sacrificed children, sometimes hundreds at a time, an no doubt aimed to placate or propitiate whatever belief held about cosmic spiritual order. Today, America’s political Left (not “liberal” in Western Enlightenment sense) is conducting similar sacrifice of youth, but rather than with blunt or sharp phusical means this slaughter is psycho/social savagery.

    Black kids are indoctrinated with BLM dogma that acculturation to 21st Century Western educational/social/political advantages deprives them of ennobling African authenticity. So, rather than compelling reasoned assimilation toward full realization of individual potential they are ruthlessly recruited much like the child soldiers of Rwanda’s during that nation’s internecine tribal horrors, driven instead to repeat that disaster here.

    White kids are being damaged not less with constant shaming of their Western Cultural heritage, harangued to atone alleged “white privilege” by deferring to any demand for “reparations”, whether personal or collective? On personal basis, “Pay back” abuse by Blacks, no matter how heinous would be judged if served by Whites, to be born as auto self-flagellation?

    Convenient for the Left’s drive for “proportionality” between Western society’s guilt and demanded atonement, accounting indices for measuring “White privilege” are margins of feelings that can be manipulated moment to moment by shifting partisan narrative. In the Left’s formulation of social justice all outcomes must be equal; complete discounting of difference due to metrics of individuality, leaving only generalized blocks redrawn to whatever is convenient to the Left’s Utopian “Rapture” of heaven on earth.

    For White kids, tattooed on their psyche is damaging blame for: Number of fatherless Black households? The abysmally lower academic performance by Black students — compared to all other ethnicities? The level of Black on Black violence? The disproportionate Black incarcerations and prison population (far beyond any calculus of “bad cops”, etc.)? Psychically burdened further with implicit demand for condescending acceptance of criminal and uncivil behavior by Blacks, including obstreperous disrespect toward figures of institutional authority, whether that of teachers or law enforcement (again, the calculus)?

    “White guilt” becomes even more nebulous on matters IQ differences; intellectual inquisitiveness, incentive toward education goals; capability toward reasoned introspection for drawing conclusions re behavior and subsequent outcome?

    White youth are essentially up against equivalency (though secular) to ancient Catholicism’s “Stigmata”, historically portrayed in art as saintly assumption of Christ’s suffering on the cross? The resulting onus is to succumb to the pathological notion that all outcomes pivot upon “Whiteness” that can only be atoned by self-inflicted suffering?

    This “cross” is absent the ecstatic smile and glint of moist eyes rolled beatifically heavenly (common imagery in religious art). Instead, given the stigma of being “White” (apostasy against the prevailing secular “Rapture”) yields more the sense of being pilloried psychologically.

    • sanspeur August 3, 2020 at 10:51 am #

      Oh the mental sacrifice is so true, but dig a little and you will find that the elite still do truly sacrifice children. To deny that reality is being disingenuous to oneself.

    I remember 1960.

    The Kennedys hated LBJ, thought he was a buffoon. Put him on the ticket to get the South in line.

    The Kennedys were outsiders to the infantile Deep State that was forming. DDE called it out as the MIC and denounced it.

    LBJ was a consummate Deep Stater. Pure insider in the Senate.

    A match made in hell.

    Results

    An assassination, the civil rights movement, about the only positive thing, the Viet Nam war, and on and on.

    Other than four years of Reagan, we have not had a true conservative, make government smaller and spend less President or Congress. The closest was Newt and Bill, who changed welfare for a few years. It did not last. Even Reagan caved in 1986.

    History does not repeat, but it rhymes. The end of the United States is near. No nation can takes the political abuse this one has without reaction.

            Behavioural Finance can explain the irrationality of wealth holders in that winners in Monopoly games typically believe that they are worthy of their game wins and better than their competitors qualitatively and quantitatively. Winners typically become sadists as they take control of the game board via properties and utilities.

            Winners erroneously believe that they are superior beings even in Monopoly games, Janos. Bezos & Musk likely believe that they are superior beings as well if we follow the logic of Behavioural Finance experts in the field.

Conceptual equivalency is the goal which sometimes puts prepositions on the firing line.

        Civil rights. Reagan realized that the working class was morphing into being serfs of the corporations, which is the state of today. He looked at the air controllers shutting down the airlines and reacted as he did. Both the corporations and the unions need limits to their power. Reagan was an anti union conservative, followed soon by a pro union Clinton.

    Even before this year there has been a major effort in removing all traces of Confederate names and monuments from inside the city of Austin. AISD has changed the names of all schools with names of anyone associated with the Confederacy. The same with the University of Texas.

    A few years ago some even started tossing around the idea of changing the name of the city itself because it was named after Stephen F. Austin who was pro-Confederacy. Last week the idea was raised again by a local editorialist in the Austin Statesman which MSN captured on its site:

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/herman-do-we-want-to-be-named-for-a-man-with-pro-slavery-sentiments/ar-BB17pXMH

    If you read the piece you’ll see that the Texas Rangers baseball team may have to change its name because, well guess.

    From the editorial regarding the Rangers:

    “…..Longtime Dallas newspaperman Doug J. Swanson delves into the history of the Texas Rangers (the cop kind) in his important new book “Cult of Glory: The Bold and Brutal History of the Texas Rangers.”

    The book, says The New York Times Book Review, “scorches the reputations of such legendary Rangers as Ben McCulloch and William ‘Bigfoot’ Wallace for massacring Native Americans and Mexican Americans willy-nilly. Swanson has done a crucial public service by exposing the barbarous side of the Rangers.”

    Yes, of course the NYT Book Reviewers are all college educated…..fools. Willy-nilly? Oh yeah? What would this fool call what the Comanches did to even other tribes? Oh, I don’t know, what would any rational person call the practice of gang raping teen agers and old women, scalping while alive, burning people while alive, gutting people while alive, etc….

    Of course the actual Texas Rangers are still around. They are the elite detective agency that other agencies call when they are stumped by a case, or just need more help in general. Watch for the calls for the Rangers to be disbanded.

    • cc rider August 3, 2020 at 11:06 am #

Friends scoffed and called me crazy (not entirely unfair) but still, I hold on to that as a possibility to come out of this race. Richards has political pedigree (as does Kennedy) and as problematic as PP is for some folks, many others seem to think it as integral to the running of this country as any other organization.

      A good statement.

      Is systemic racism, what ever that is, a result of the actions of a very few whites, or the actions of a very few Blacks. Or both.

      Look at the NFL. A biracial social group. They get along pretty well. It is based on merit, mostly. But where did Kaepernick originate, where has BLM, the Black few, dig itself into the social order to create chaos. Hey, guys, the main viewing product for your enterprise, what you have worked for for years, is White. And very much so losing interest in your stupidity.

      Blacks are responsible for what has occurred to their folks over the last 56 years. All legal barriers were removed from Blacks being able to vote, to live where they want, to work where they want, etc.

      Contrary to the Democratic Party, old Divide and Conquer, and BLM, great progress has been made trying to integrate the Black culture into the US. Yes, integrate the BC into the USA. They are not going to change the US to their materialistic, gimme philosophy, being only 13% of the population. Their efforts need to be realigned into maximizing the access to the economic ladder that every ethnic group has done. Not trying to take over or split the country. BTW, thanks to the shenanigans of old D&C, and its destruction of the economy, the gains that Blacks have made in the labor marketplace have disappeared. Remember that in November.

      Side bar

      Say we gave Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi to the Blacks as their own nation. Twenty years, they would be begging for readmittance as they self destruct. Good trick though as the rest of the US is concurrently self destructing.

    Re: the current instantiation of the Emperor’s New Clothes, with them knowing that we know Joe Biden is not fit to lead (or even speak for more than five minutes) the blatancy of the lie is very much the point. My favorite quote from Theodore Dalyrmple says it better than I ever could:

    “In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.”

        No, it just means we don’t want cops brutalizing and unlawfully killing black people, who are specifically targeted by racist cops. The FBI released a report in 2016 that for decades Neo-Nazi and KKK groups have been infiltrating police departments. They are misusing their authority to target black people. I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, but your comment is about as stupid as it gets.

          The “unlawfully killing black people” stuff is just nonsense.

          Google the names Tony Timpa, Daniel Shaver, Andrew Thomas, Dylan Noble, etc, etc.

          Or check out the 20 some unarmed white people shot and killed by the police in 2019 according to that well-known racist publication, the Washington post.

          Or read an article like this:

          https://quillette.com/2020/06/11/racist-police-violence-reconsidered/

          The cops are equal opportunity when it comes to deadly violence and end of the day, most people who wind up on the wrong end of a police interaction, white or black, had it coming.

          The ill-informed who keep peddling this “killing black people” bullshit are a lost cause, more interested in washing black feet than in any semblance of reality.

      Saw a study the other day that said 67% of the American people are afraid to say what they really think.

      This makes sense to me. Read where people polled are not candid about their electoral preferences. Probably at many family gatherings those attending keep their mouths shut just to “keep the peace”.

      About three weeks ago I was at a Westside Los Angeles restaurant I have been going to for forty years. I was alone reading, as usual.

      A Black waitress was there and she had waited on me many times. She happened to be off work and was parading around with a BLM hat on while doing tequila shots with friends.

      The group started talking to me and the BLM protests were mentioned. I was asked to comment and I said, “Obviously Black lives matter. And obviously police brutality against all Americans is wrong. I just wish BLM supported ALL Black lives including those who lose their lives with Black on Black crimes in the inner cities. Especially innocent Black babies in strollers or little ones just playing in their yards. Or the Black retired cop who was guarding his friends jewelry store when the store was looted and burned and he was murdered by a Black rioter (thankfully caught on camera). And the 60 year old Black Trump supporter who stood in front of his store with Trump signs and was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in broad daylight I think in Minneapolis. All their lives mattered too.”

      Well!!! EEHHH!!! Wrong answer!!!

      “You a white bitch, right?! You a NASTY white bitch!!” Between the tequila shots taking hold of her brain and me not following the “acceptable narrative” there was nothing more I could say. I just paid my check and left.

      This is but one example of individuals being intimidated into simply lying about their true opinions or just shutting up all together for fear of a verbal brouhaha starting or worse.

      Guess I should have just smiled and snapped my fingers so they would think I was “woke”.

    I fully agree with November’s characterization of mass psychosis en masse USA, and elsewhere. There is NO God damned way in Hell that the lion’s share of Americans are going to willingly accept the voting process as it is incompetently laid out pre-election.

    The resulting infighting within the USA will be Hell on Earth as the run up approaches. I fully suspect many false flag events to manifest as distracting events.

    Politics is said to be blood sport, but we usually see brief examples instead of whole states going berserk.

    Mass psychosis and psychological contagion are the policy tools being utilized here to offset normal operating procedure. Each electoral round the game gets notched up a degree or two with technological manipulation via either MSM propaganda or informatics manipulation. Cambridge Analytica is the perfect example of where we are heading this electoral outcome in November.

    The right-of-center CANUCKS that I follow are ultra entrenched and Balkanized in their views of late which indicates that the outcome of the election will cause major political earthquakes post-November.

    HRC is NOT going to re-enter the political arena given a lack of majority appeal to current voters. She is too old and carries too much political baggage to be viable.

    In yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, their appeared an article detailing the new release of documents concerning the case. I had come to respect the Journal’s refusal to buckle under the wokest onslaught, but the article curiously made no mention of horndog Bill, although they saw fit to mention Prince Andrew.

            Of course Ghislaine’s “employers” were/are very powerful folks. Very powerful. I don’t know if you’re familiar with her father’s history. He was an obvious Mossad/MI6 asset. I firmly believe that Ghislaine was too. I believe she was essentially Jeff Epstein’s handler and controller. That’s my opinion. Of course I can’t prove it. But I’m not alone with this viewpoint.

            My point is that she will say what she is allowed to say. This will be very interesting to watch play out.

          • akmofo August 3, 2020 at 1:09 pm #

            Ghislaine/Epstein is not Mossad. One of their high profile clients was former Israeli General former Israeli Defense Minister and Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak was possibly THE most destructive senior Israeli military officer and Israeli politician to Israel’s interests, EVER. This is the person that lost one war after another to ragtag Jihadistanis. This is the person that gave Arafat the whole of Judea and Samaria including Jerusalem. This is the person that is now behind Black Flag commie terror in Israel, similar to the Antifa/BLM terror in the US. This is the person that is so deep in commie cultural subversion and financial corruption is it truly astonishing.

            Barak was a penniless career military officer from an Israeli kibbutz. Now he is a multi-millionaire. It’s obvious the money did not come from his kibbutz membership nor his meager military salary. The money come from abroad and so did his anti-nationalist anti-Israel agenda. Barak is so disliked by the Israeli public that in his recent run for political office he did not even manage to get the minimum requirement to be elected Knesset Member.

            My very deep suspicion is that Ghislaine/Epstein are CIA. Their agenda and targets perfectly fit the CIA’s agenda.

This was an inside job, and that could only be CIA.

          “In Vatican/EU they’re now legislating to lower the age of consent from 16 to 12. Everything will be perfectly legal now. The feudal Vatican Overton Window is wide open for pederast pricking.”

          Akmofo, the EU has enough faults without you having to invent them. Please clarify which countries you are talking about where consent is about to be lowered to 12 – and provide verifiable links. The age of consent is an issue for domestic legislation, and 16 is not the age of consent throughout the countries of the EU anyway (in some it is 17; in others it is 14).

          Here is an overview:

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_Europe

          You will note that in the Vatican City itself, ALL sexual intercourse outwith the institution of marriage is illicit, ‘regardless of the age or willingness of those who engage in it.

          Which doesn’t exactly match your narrative of the Vatican being engaged in an overweening effort to destroy the world’s sexual morals.

          On the previous thread, your habitual, unthinking attack on the EU was in relation to kosher food, which you claimed it had outlawed or was about to. The actual situation is that neither kosher nor halal products may describe themselves as organic, if the animals are not stunned before they are killed. Currently almost 90% of halal meat is pre-stunned before slaughter, while this appears to be unacceptable to kosher consumers. The issue is merely about the label ‘organic’ not being applicable to meat that has not been raised and slaughtered with high standards of animal welfare.

          Kosher and halal meats remain perfectly legal within the EU, unless this article is out of date (if it is, I’m sure you’ll have some verifiable links to updates):

          https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/halal-kosher-meat-organic-stunning-eu-court-ruling-a8797761.html

          The EU ruling does not affect the legality of ritual halal or kosher slaughter, but will make it harder for some ritually-slaughtered meat to be labelled organic.

            It that’s true, it seems like a reasonable compromise to me. Most citizens of the European Union consider ritual slaughter without prior stunning to be unacceptable cruelty towards livestock and insist on higher standards of animal welfare in their jurisdictions, as is their right. Are we supposed to accept FGM in our countries because some people consider it normal?

            All you have to do is agree to have the animal stunned before it is killed. I’m sure you are capable of showing at least the same compassion towards innocent animals as your ‘Jihadistani’ counterparts, the origins of your ritual practices presumably being similar.

            Thank you for your point about the Dutch court and the repulsive-sounding ‘paedophile party’, and hence your confirmation of my point that the age of consent is a matter for domestic legislation and does not come under the remit of EU institutions. Thanks also to scoubi for clarifying the origin of the hoax about the EU.

            ”Illicit. I like that word! What does it mean exactly?

            It means illegal. I used it merely because it was used in the relevant paragraph in the content to which I provided a link.

            Does it mean that if Vatican Priests prey on kids they’ll be punished with jail time and disbarment? What’s the punishment for this illicit behavior? Am I to suppose that all them pederast Vatican predators are just my imagination?”

            It just means what it says – that it is illegal according to Vatican law. I completely agree with you that there should be the kind of punishment for this ‘illicit behaviour’ that we would expect under the jurisdictions where all such crimes have taken place. I have no interest in defending the Vatican or the Catholic Church against anything at all. I was merely pointing out the discrete nature of consent legislation within the EU, which I think we have established.

            I just like to point out deliberate lies and inaccuracies with which certain people sneakily pepper their rants for effect or propaganda, in the same way as I did regarding Kim’s repulsive holocaust denial.

            No, Mrs Green. Animals are slaughtered by other animals for food. These animals don’t stun their dinner with a man made stun gun prior. This made up gov mafia nonsense was made up deliberately to discriminate against Jews. Nothing is by accident. Nothing is coincidence. And the fact that this is happening exclusively in Europe with its vile anti-Jewish past and present history attests to these maxims.

            If you any doubts to what I say, as an experiment I suggest you put on a Star of David necklace so people will see it and see the friendly behaviour you will experience from your friendly neighbours.

            As regards the Vatican, it is a den of Satanic demons and deceit. Their vile history and practices speak for themselves. Your amusing intervention indicating their duplicity and constrast with their true nature is just another instance proving my constant assertions regarding that vile reptilian Roman order and institution.

            That has got to be the daftest argument for anything I’ve ever seen. Hedgehogs don’t stop at pedestrian crossings so neither should humans. Some animals kill their own offspring, so it’s OK for humans too. Numerous animals start to eat their prey while it’s still alive, so that would be fine for humans too. OK…

            But I am not interested in arguing the finer points of animal slaughter with you – I’m merely pointing out, for information, that for the majority of European citizens, ritual slaughter of the kind in question – whether halal or kosher – is considered barbaric unless the animal is stunned first. That is their opinion. They hold themselves to higher moral standards than the beasts of the jungle. Such laws tend to be the result of public pressure, not the commie nazi government mafia. You are at liberty to do whatever you choose as a society, in your own country.

            Nothing is coincidence. And the fact that this is happening exclusively in Europe with its vile anti-Jewish past and present history attests to these maxims.

            You will recall that many Europeans gave their lives to fight against those same vile anti-Jewish sentiments. People who were not Jewish at all.

            I imagine it’s a lot less likely that there would be an issue with unpleasant slaughter practices in the US, which has the most disgraceful animal welfare standards generally among advanced nations. Call us sentimental…

            Sixteen seems fair enough. You can vote at 16 in Scotland (though not in England) and you can get married too, without the permission of your parents (but not in England).

            Those who think the law should be changed are often legal professionals who think a 16-year-old boy should not be considered a criminal (whatever one might think of his judgement) for having sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend, not because they want to see 15-year-olds made available to creepy old men.

            Anyhow, I don’t see how kosher slaughter is anyone’s business other than Jews. So it’s not for anyone but Jews to legislate this issue. You don’t like how kosher meat is prepared, don’t eat it. No one is asking you to eat kosher meat, nevermind forcing you to buy it.

            What’s being done in Europe now is outrageous. It is a continued war on the Jews and Judaism. We know that Europe finances Jihadistani terror against Israel. We know Europe encourages Jihadistani war on Israel and Jews by way of incitement propaganda. We know Europe did everything so that Iran and other Jihadistani states acquire atomic weapons to use them against Israel. We know Europe does all it can to make permanent the conflict between Israel and the Arabs. We know Europe finances the contrived “Palistanis” as a spear to bleed Israel. We know Europe finances the delegitimization of Israel, and Jewish character of Israel. And on and on.

            We see everything. So does God above.

            There will not be a Europe. Europeans will be no more. That’s my judgment of what will happen. God has a sense of humour, but karma does not.

            If the boot were on the other foot, I doubt very much you’d be generous enough to consider such exceptions to accommodate the ‘Jihadistanis’.
            ==

            Jews are not Jihadistanis. Jews never claimed any part of Europe as theirs, even though Jews have lived in Europe longer than most of the current “European” tribes whose real origin is Turkmenistan.

            There are many many non-Jewish minorities that sought refuge in Israel and that respect and support our sovereignty. These are accorded full respect and religious freedoms, including practices we strongly disagree with such as polygamy, non-kosher food, idol worship, etc.

            Jihadistanis on the other hand claim our lands as their territory, and for that they will be expelled and/or exterminated when time comes.

          • GreenAlba August 5, 2020 at 7:13 am #

            “Anyhow, I don’t see how kosher slaughter is anyone’s business other than Jews. So it’s not for anyone but Jews to legislate this issue.”

            You cannot ‘legislate this issue’ in a country other than one where you are the majority population. In a country which is your legitimate home, but where you are not the majority, you have to abide by the will of the majority (as I mentioned, you are still able to plead your exceptionalism in this matter in Germany). Hence, for example, people may have their sharia hearings but they haven’t the slightest legitimacy in any UK jurisdiction.

            If I said ‘I don’t see how FGM is anyone’s business other than those whose culture demands it. No-one is asking you to subject yourself of your daughter to it’, would that mean it was OK to subject young British citizens to the practice on British soil?

            And try to keep to the question, without discussing why they are here in the first place – they are here in the first place because the then government of their current home invaded and colonised the home of their ancestors.

          • akmofo August 5, 2020 at 9:40 am #

            Fsck you, Mrs Green. Slaughter animals are not citizens. But that’s fine. I really don’t care about Europe. I never visited it in all my extensive travels and never will. The refusal of Europe to accommodate Jews in any and all spheres is an obvious message to Jews and Israel. We get the message loud and clear. Jews are abandoning and leaving Europe, and Israel is divesting its trade relations away from it. When the process is done, I will not be surprised if diplomatic relations will deteriorate and finally terminated. The malevolent arrogance and shadow war against Jews and Israel by Europe will be exposed for the war and ugliness that it is.

            The bad blood created was/is entirely Europe‘s creation. We remember these things, and we remember for centuries and millennia. My judgement is that Europe will be completely erased. Like previous arrogant Satanic malevolences before it, Europe’s people culture cities architecture language etc will be erased. That’s my judgement of what will happen. It always does.

            Stop with your lies already, you dishonest hag.

            You didn’t and don’t give a shit about Jews and never have. You were fighting Nazis for your own survival and that of your ill gotten Empire. When Jews were trying to escape Nazi Europe your Royal Navy hunted them down and blocked their entry to Israel. Even after the Nazi death camps were “liberated” you and the Americans left the Jews to rot and die there for years after on starvation food rations.

            For newly discovered Arab oil, you double crossed the Jews in the British Palestine Mandate, and you completely reneged on your international agreed upon responsibility make the Palestine Mandate the exclusive home of the Jews. This was your signed legal responsibility! You made it impossible for Jews to grow their population inside your administered Mandate and prevented them from arming themselves while you armed and trained Arab armies. Any Jew found with a weapon was automatically hanged. And many heroes of the Jewish underground working for Israel’s future defense have been hanged and murdered by you.

            When Israel declared independence, your government continued with the weapons embargo on Israel while providing weapons and technical military assistance to the Arabs.

            You deliberately set up Israel and the Jews to be destroyed in another holocaust, only this time perpetrated by propagandized Arabs, and you didn’t care.

            We are not stupid Mrs Green. We see and understand everything. So does God.

            Yes, I know, hateful me. I’ll let you on a little secret, Mrs Green, I only hate the vile and despicable. So does my God. And then I stop hating and caring at all. And then it’s the end. Your end.

            Again with the dishonesty. You weren’t talking about your personal responsibility, you were talking about the motivation of the British to fight Nazis as though it was from some noble cause to save Jews. And you called me an ungrateful wretch for not appreciating this. But like the rest of your tribe, you are a lying douche bag. Saving Jews was not even on your mind. Saving the Empire and depriving Germany of its own Empire and thus cutting in on your Imperial profits was all that concerned you. Your treatment and arrogant attitude towards Jews, both before and after the war, was all disgusting despicable disgraceful disparaging and disdainful. You did as you pleased, even though you signed an international legal commitment to do otherwise. By blocking entry to escaping European Jewish refugees into nascent Israel you are just as responsible for the Holocaust as Germany is and the rest of Europe. Your double dealing, your allowing Arabs to flood our territory and then giving 80% of our lands to them, your arming and training them to massacre and genocide us, all that is perfectly remembered. And God will see to it that you will pay dearly for all of it.

            To save time reading yet another of your insane rants, I am ignoring everything that refers to ‘you’ as something other than me.

            Regarding the ordinary soldiers, THEY had nothing to do with any decisions about Israel or anything related to it (some of them were Jewish anyway), but they DID know what was going on in Germany and its occupied territories. They didn’t know the worst of it at first, of course, but many of the soldiers coming upon the camps had to be restrained from wholesale slaughter of the guards, so angry were they about what they saw.

            Every insult you throw my way is a compliment, received with delight. You are a pestilential troll.

          • akmofo August 6, 2020 at 2:42 pm #

            Everybody knew of the plight of Jews prior to the war. The anti-Jewish Nuremberg Race Laws were well known. The Nazi theft of Jewish property and businesses and the horrendous discrimination against Jews was also well known. And perfectly accepted.

            There were no public British protests or any diplomatic consequence to these Nazi policies. The British restriction on Jews to enter the Palestine Mandate continued. The British trapped the Jews in Europe preventing them from leaving to the their Palestine Mandate.

            During the war, there was a deliberate effort by the Vatican the Press and by the governments involved to hide the facts of the Holocaust from the general public and allow it to continue unmolested. There was ZERO military effort to stop what was going on. Jewish organizations and influential individuals that tried to make the facts public were ignored stifled or derided.

            Yes, the ordinary British soldier did not know the facts of the Holocaust. Therefore you trying attribute to him any kind of special relation as regards Jews is just another in long line of dishonesty on your part.

            Although the ordinary British soldier did not know the facts of the Holocaust, his government, the diplomatic core, and all the news agencies certainly knew and kept silence. Very likely the news agencies were directed by the governments to keep silent.

            You don’t have personal responsibility for what happened, but you do very much have collective responsibility. None of that matters anymore. It will not undo what was done.

            How it will end for those nations involved I already know. Their end is already written in God’s book of the living.

            If your ‘God’ punishes collectivities for the sins of individuals, ‘he’ is not an entity deserving of worship. He’d need to have morals superior to a human being for that.

          • akmofo August 7, 2020 at 9:40 am #

            They are not just the sins of individuals, they are the sins of the collective, and the collective and everything related to it will be erased out of existence. That’s how it works. You are as responsible for the collective as anyone else that is part of the collective. Silence and apathy is compliance. In Europe/Britain’s case it was more than just silence and apathy, as I enumerated above. They even awarded the fscking Olympics to the Nazis, and gave them every possible diplomatic credibility and moral legitimacy possible. The Nazi racists ideologies came directly from the Anglosphere, including the US and Britain. The issue with the Nazis is not that they were racists and anti-Semitic, the Anglosphere was exactly the same, the issue with the Nazis is that the Nazis wanted a German Empire to challenge the Anglosphere and overtake it, and that you were not willing to abide.

        I have actually seen one of his handlers grab his hand and lead him off stage like a lost child.

        This charade cannot last much longer. Something so blatantly off the wall will be said by Biden that even Rachel Maddow will have to say something.

        Most recently he said, “While I was at Walter Reed a nurse leaned over and breathed into my nostrils and she brought me pillows from her home.”

        Imagine three two hour debates between Biden and Trump with no ear pieces for Joe, no TelePrompTer for Joe and no handlers there to drag him out of the room.

        There is NO WAY they will let Biden openly debate Trump even with Zoom or FaceTime or whatever.

        Biden’s team is whistling past the graveyard. Only a matter of time before they get spooked.

    “…the hallucination du jour in a year of neo-medieval mass psychosis.”

    Regrettably, it’s not a psychosis, it’s a validation process:

    “What unites all types of evil, which are created in the different worlds of national and social interest groups, is that the “decent citizens” of all the worlds always require a semblance of self-evidence, normality, ideologies, ethos, the legitimization of a majority of some kind, laws of nature and man-made laws, and above all a sense of morality and mission to validate the evil. To that end, the “decent folk” create an abundance of “normative morality” that suits their egoistic group needs, but whose connection to morality that is measured by criteria of universal applicability, according to Kant, and of the existence of a “common world,” according to Arendt, is scant if not nonexistent. This tangled web of maintenance of evil and the ramified modes of the individual’s thoughtless collaboration with social and national evil, are recruited to normalize evil and create an arena of the banality of evil in the life of individuals, groups and nations.”

      https://dailystormer.su/stage-4-lockdown-australian-economy-in-full-collapse-due-to-lunatic-measures/

      A whopping 208 people have died of the coronavirus in Australia. Virtually all of them have been nursing home residents.

      The Australian government actually publishes every death. You’d think they’d want to hide this information. Eight people under the age of 60 have died and only 26 people under the age of 70 have died. A full 136 have been over 80.

      The average lifespan of Australians is 82. The median average coronavirus death in Australia appears to be 85. This virus is of course less dangerous than the average flu.

      Despite these facts, Australia is going into the most extreme semi-permanent lockdown of possibly any country, and the government is openly admitting it is going to completely collapse the economy.

      How the hell are people tolerating this?

    • Kim August 3, 2020 at 7:48 pm #

      And Anglin also points us to the current plannng for the intended outcome of all of this:

      “…The plan is probably to force everything into collapse and then introduce a global digital currency as the solution. The World Economic Forum is currently pushing something they’re calling “The Great Reset,” a plan to completely upend all existing cultural norms as a response to the coronavirus collapse and replace the entire society with a different society, favored by the ruling elite. This plan will likely involve a new currency.

      Here is the link for the Great Reset plans of the World Economic Forum:

      https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/

    • Kim August 3, 2020 at 7:57 pm #

      Now pay attention to this:

      If you go to the Great Reset “about” page, you will find a list of personnages who will be the leading lights at the “The Great Reset” summit in January 2021, convened by the World Economic Forum.

      The first person listed as one of the livestream speakers is

      Victoria Alonsoperez, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Chipsafer, Uruguay, and a Young Global Leader

      What is “Chipsafer”, you ask yourself, with a unpleasant shiver of premonition, that its representative has such a prominent position in the WEF speaker list?

      Well, at the Chipsafer website we read as follows:

      Chipsafer is a “patented platform that can track and detect anomalies in cattle behaviour at any time and place.”

      “Do you want to know what your livestock is doing while no one is watching? Chipsafer will show you.”

      “We transform the data gathered with our sensors into actionable information. The farmer can access all the information through his personal account.”

    • Kim August 3, 2020 at 8:14 pm #

      You all got that? Is it all clear now? We will all be chipped and tracked like cattle for our owners.

      If you go to the great reset page you can see the main agenda items. Racial and gender justice are bg themes. But I am sure you already knew that.

      https://www.weforum.org/great-reset

      And of course, we can go deeperinto the WEF message, where we can learn that the great reset must place social justice at its centre.

      https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/07/great-reset-must-place-social-justice-centre/

      But what does “social justice” imply? Well, three things (and what follows is edited for length):

      In the post-COVID-19 world, there are three features that will need to be fully institutionalized as part of the new local and global social contract.

      <b.1. Capitalism and socialism will need to merge

      Firstly, the slow death of capitalism does not equate to a resurgence of communism. However, rethinking capitalism, or giving capitalism a “Great Reset” as World Economic Forum Chairman Klaus Schwab has suggested, means that capitalism and socialism will need to merge to create a productive and inclusive economic and social model.

      Wealth has become abundant, thanks to capitalism, but it now needs to be more broadly redistributed, as socialists have long called for. In particular, there is an urgent need to recouple the wealth of financial markets with the real economy. [This commentary demonstrates and apparent/faked lack of unstanding of the link between fossil fuels and wealth creation and the end of the fossil fuel age – Kim]

      2. We must improve coordination between the public and private sector

      On social justice, there is a fundamental need to improve coordination between the public and private sector in order to ensure both equity and efficiency. Despite long-standing fear of an “efficiency-equity tradeoff,” in reality both features can coexist, and we can do better on both measures than we are doing now.

      In the new institutional context, governments will need to intervene more to ensure better and fairer outcomes from private sector investments. One way this can be done is by introducing a universal basic income (UBI) funded by taxing wealth and passive income, and by making better use of public savings.

      [Pushing the public/private scam] High-income countries have the resources to make this possible. In developing countries however, resources are scarce, and both unemployment and informality rates are high. Too much of the economic activity falls within the domain of the public sector and it results in inefficient and insufficient public spending on infrastructure, employment, education, and health; which often crowd out private sector investments.

      Governments in low-income countries can do better if they pull in private investment to finance profitable projects and push public finances to fund projects that have low economic but high social value to ensure that services are always accessible to the most vulnerable groups.

      3. We must improve access to equal opportunities

      On systemic racism, new institutions need to incorporate profound reforms to ensure better racial integration and to rectify centuries of accumulated prejudice to colonized countries and to minority groups, especially black and brown communities. It is important to acknowledge “white privilege” and to break the myth of pure meritocracy that has persisted for too long as an explanation for not only the divergence in outcomes between rich and poor countries, but between rich and poor people along all dimensions of society.

      Centuries of prejudice cannot be reversed within one or two generations. Leaders of the new institutional order must proactively design mechanisms to improve access to equal opportunities and to social and economic accelerator programmes. These initiatives need to be macro in scale. Programmes such as affirmative action are well-intended, but they remain defensive and tactical interventions to improve the odds for black and brown communities. The work at hand is not about the 3-5% of students in elite colleges of the world who are black; it is about making growth, progress and social upward mobility systemic within the black and brown community.

      This can be done by shifting the focus from “giving a hand” to these communities to empowering them with large-scale public investments to level up access to conditions on a par with those of more privileged communities. For example, public investments directed at improving the infrastructure in black neighbourhoods would increase the value of real estate for black owners, improve the quality of education and healthcare and help build a community of more affluent residents who would have a vested interest in perpetuating generational progress.

      With some exceptions, such as South Africa, and India (given its caste systems and particularly the exclusion of Dalits), the rationale for such demographically motivated investments in developing countries is not as necessary since the population is overwhelmingly composed of disadvantaged groups. Nonetheless, the need for more social investment and for more socially-conscious policies, such as local content and indigenization rules, is equally important to expand access to racial justice. These initiatives, such as the Black Economic Empowerment in South Africa (BEE) program, have helped empower previously the marginalized, but they have also been criticized for distorting markets and for concentrating wealth, power and influence in the hands of a small group of people. New programmes in this vein must not replicate these mistakes.

      Systemic injustice is the defining challenge of our era of capitalism, and COVID-19 has brought it to the surface. Underneath the abundance of the few lies a high degree of inequity. Meritocracy does exist, but it is important to distinguish outcomes driven by privilege from those resulting from meritocracy and to diagnose contexts where privilege hinders meritocracy.

      It has been in the interests of capitalists to promote the virtues of meritocracy and to downplay the extent of injustice and prejudice. Poor countries and poor people aren’t poor because they don’t work or try hard. In many instances, poverty and exclusion comes from working in a system where the weight of privilege outweighs the possibility for hard work to translate into social mobility.

      So, it could not be clearer. The plan is for global anti-white, anti-merit racialist communism administered by an elite of corporate managerialists drawn from among the self-styled great and the good.

      And as in any well-run production or logistcs system, every single widget and product item must be labeled and RFID-scanned and tracked. That means you, cattle.

      One amazing – and truly intriguing – part of it is that it has nothing at all meaningful to say on the issue of resource constraints, in particular fossil fiuel constraints.

    “Hillary still owns the DNC — literally. Nobody knows how much of the Clinton Foundation’s ill-gotten moolah still underwrites the party’s national operations. The arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell, with new allegations about Bill Clinton’s capers on Epstein’s Pedo Island, is a strange twist with mystifying implications — especially the timing and the motives of those in the DOJ’s Southern District who stage-managed it. With the Clintons, intrigues always abound. But if ever there was a Lady Macbeth moment for wickedness to prevail, this is it. For now, the old warhorse is laying low on her yoga mat somewhere in the Chappaqua woods.”

    I have to disagree with the chemist you had on your podcast there recently who stated that HRC would be a competent President (paraphrasing there). I think she would be a total disaster for the country. She is a completely inept & ineffective executive. She has positioned herself so well because she is a power hungry, narcissistic, sociopath. Her obsession with political power is the major driving force in her life, and it has been that way for decades.

    HRC is a political careerist, mercenary, opportunist, and realist. She changes her views based on who is paying her. She has few if any principled policy stances that I know of. If you give X amount of money to the Clinton Foundation, and you want something from her (or Bill)– you will get it. Everything with her is transactional.

    The policy she has in the past endorsed is largely neo-liberal, corporatist, and globalist. She is an agent for multinational corporate interest in North America. HRC is exactly the wrong person needed right now. Instead of favoring & strengthening community, she will work for the forces that want less sovereignty, less localism, less independence & less personal freedom.

    Could she become President? absolutely.

          It is unavoidable. In fact, it has already started, hasn’ it?

          Cheap fossil fuels are disappearing, so we have and will continue to have ever-accelerating economic and social decay. Fighting this irresistable entropy will require more work from each of us as individuals.

          Some people, however, heavily disfavor the idea of work. They will opt instead for theft and crime. Yet as the system decays, we will less and less be able to depend on the reliable punishment of crime. Thus we will get more crime, which of course will become low level war.

    What,me worry ?

    President of the USA is elected by the Electoral College.
    The Electoral College votes strictly along the party lines.
    Exceptions to this rule are so rare as to be non-existent.

    Lets take a look at the 2016 results:

    The total number of votes cast was 538:

    Donald Trump received 304 votes,
    Hillary Clinton received 227,
    Colin Powell received 3,
    Bernie Sanders received 1,
    John Kasich received 1,
    Ron Paul received 1
    Faith Spotted Eagle received 1

    Number of votes received by Hillary is somewhat disturbing but not a reason enough to panic.

    Gee,even Faith Spotted Eagle received 1 vote,had his/her 15 minutes of fame and was quickly forgotten.

    Those dastardly, dirty, whining, snowflake Republicans are having a hissy-fit about mail-in ballots because they won’t be able to pull off their quadrennial voter suppression shenanigans in Republican-controlled potentail swing states (Georgia, Ohio, Florida, Texas, etc.).

    However, those dastardly, dirty, whining, snowflake Democrats do the same exact thing. In February, pre-Covid,here in Henderson NV (Bernie Country), during the Nevada Democratic primary,we had to wait in line for 3 to 4 hours to vote due to there only being a few election officials and voting machines. At UCLA, there was only one voting machine for 40,000 students. Heck, the Republicans could take lessons from the DNC when it comes to voter suppression. The DNC wanted to crush Bernie and they did.

    Although she was not a threat to the establishment, the DNC felt the need to unleash their vicious attack dog, Hillary, who called combat veteran, Tulsi Gabbard, a Russian agent, just because she wanted to end regime change wars and cut the defense budget.

    Pretty sad state of affairs when the integrity of our, the USA, electoral system doesn’t even rise to the level of a banana republic. That shining city on the hill is no longer worshipped and envied as a beacon of hope by the rest of the world but is, instead, pitied.

    The biggest voting bloc isn’t Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green or Independent. It is the 100 million, who don’t vote. If some candidate can appeal to them, look out. Maybe that explains the DNC’s actions.

    Only 10,000 Pilgrims went to Mecca this year – less than 1% of the usual millions. All masked. Sunni Islam is now a just another Globalist Cult. Thus women now drive in Saudi Arabia. Rock concerts. Careers for women etc.

    Bin Ladin was right. The House of Saud is the enemy of Islam. But his followers are bloodthirsty madmen. Only the Shia maintain some of the ancient balance – though they are hard beset by modernism as well.

    We can only pray for the appearance of the Mahdi. It is said that he will be leading the prayers before battle – and then Christ himself will appear beside him.

    My reading of the 22nd and 25th amendments suggests another possible “replacement” for Biden to head up the Democratic Party’s fall campaign.

    The Constitution prevents anyone from being elected president more than twice, but places no such restriction on being elected vice president, or succeeding to the presidency from the office of vice president (for example, in the event of presidential incapacity).

    In his successful 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama ran against the economic and foreign policies of George W. Bush, and -in the primaries- ran against Hillary Clinton and Job Biden, both once-Republicans who (later) as Democratic senators voted to authorize Bush’s resolution on invading Iraq. However, nominee and president-elect Obama later then picked Biden as VP and H. R. Clinton as Sec. of State. In 2016, without any apparent great reflection, he backed Hillary Clinton as his successor, who proved to be a more vulnerable target for Trump’s populism than many had expected.

    Obama’s federal legacy thereby includes being the immediate predecessor of Donald Trump. I suppose this bothers him and encourages a more hands-on approach to this year’s election (compared to 2016).

    I don’t believe that Obama wants to be Biden’s VP, or that Biden and the Democratic Party leadership would go along with that even if he did. It may not be very wise, but if there one thing Democratic bigwigs seem clearly in agreement on, it is that Biden should have a VP who is younger, female, and ready to move into the top job by January 2025, if not sooner.

    But, Obama acting as an unofficial yet defacto key advisor during Biden’s fall campaign and (if successful) afterwards too, does seem quite possible. Indeed, though one might say it backfired in 2016 as a campaign pitch, there was a kind of expectation that if Hillary were elected, Bill would be back in the White House too. The Republican establishment arguably made an even bigger blunder by assuming that they could handle Trump in the Oval Office despite his lack of experience and even desire for the job.

    There is more in common between the two parties than is often realized, e.g. difficulty learning from each other’s mistakes and from their own. I am, however, not sure that having Obama involved with Biden in coming months would be a mistake; it might even be a least-bad available outcome.

    In my view, a better longer term approach than the quadrennial presidential beauty contest / mud-wrestling match would be comprehensive, transparent, efficient and standardized national voting procedures (like most other democracies have) and ranked choice voting to enable more alternatives to both entrenched and increasingly dysfunctional US political parties. Yet, as a immediate fix to get the country safely past the upcoming November election and to whatever post-Corona rehab comes after, having Obama involved might, on net, be a reassurance. McCartney-Lennon is not quite the same as Lennon-McCartney, but might be close enough. Indeed, barring some kind of stop-gap pragmatism of some sort, it is hard to see how the generally pessimistic prognostications of this blog can be averted.

    We’ve had all mail-in (or mailed-out and drop-off) voting here in Colorado since 2014 three major elections. By all accounts it works fine. Voter participation rates are up; cases of fraud remain precious few. So it can be and is done.

    Our neighboring state of Utah also now has all mail-in voting. They elect a lot of Republicans. We elect a lot of Democrats. Nobody sane argues that either state’s election is “rigged”.

    2020: We all know there will be one of two outcomes to the presidential election this fall: either Trump will get re-elected (heaven help us), or Trump will claim a “rigged election”. It’s all so predictable. The fact that vote counts from some states may be delayed by many days will only play into Trump’s fear-mongering conspiracy theories — ironic, from a man who benefited from Russian interference in the last go ‘round, but didn’t seem too troubled by the fact.

    Let’s all hope for a Dem landslide that doesn’t leave credible daylight for Trump — and his well-armed Cult followers — to run amok with their authoritarian mischief.

    Trump has already suggested delaying our elections, little thin-skinned tyrant that he is. The dude is clearly getting panicky: I pray he doesn’t try to pull off some more extra-Constitutional shenanigans between now and when he’s frog-marched out of the Oval Office in January because he refuses to leave.

            My definition of commie is very simple: Anything that deviates from biblical Hebrew cultural ethical political norms and more importantly is spawned and sponsored by the Vatican to undermine these biblical Hebrew cultural ethical political norms. Really it is just a synonym for Vatican Satanism.

            Rastafarians, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Confucians, Hindus, etc., obviously have no connection to the Vatican and therefore are of no concern to me.

            Ambrose Kane, Aug 3, in the comments to the Ely’s article below:

            I am no ‘expert’ on WW2 and the Third Reich by any stretch. However, I have been reading historical works on this period for a few years now. Also, I’ve only come to the ‘JQ’ within the last seven years, but that subject alone has helped me to understand the rise and fall of Germany’s Fuhrer, including the reasons why the man has been so severely vilified.

            Time and time again as I read through such books, I am struck by how many occasions Hitler sought peace with Britain and the U.S. Every murderous madman claim about Hitler is betrayed by the facts when one bothers to actually look into the matter. It seems that every time some author attempts to give a fair and nuanced view of the man, they are bitterly condemned and their writing or academic careers soon take a downward spiral. Hitler is so hated and so badly maligned by our cultural and political overlords that nothing less than the most extreme and absurd conclusions about him are permitted.

            I know for many on this site, this is nothing new. Our contributors are fully aware of it, including many of the readers.

            I don’t want to fall into the trap of glorifying any social or political revolutionary. I recognize as the old adage goes, ‘The best of men are men at best.’ The greatest among our people often have very deep faults. There is dark side to all of us, some more than others.

            Yet, at the same time, as I read about the life of Hitler, I am impressed at how rational he was. He was zealous for the German cause and for his people, no doubt, but how is that any different than other leaders who sought to free their people from oppression? He had every reason to remove the corrupting power and influence of Jews from Germany. In fact, he was actually quite even-handed in doing so. Few national leaders would have done the same under the same circumstances.

            As I continue to read more about the Fuhrer, I get the strong sense that not only did the U.S. fight the wrong enemy, but that the West has unjustly maligned a truly great man. I think the final history will vindicate him. The entire world is mad and upside down.

            SV: What do you know of these things? You’ve never studied them as you have cults and child trafficking, have you? Study and then decide. You respect this man so take what he says to heart.

    There are two other countries who have to be very frightened of a Democrat sweep in November and it might force them to interfere even to cooking up an October surprise. Those would be Taiwan and Israel. The Chinese simply changed the rules on Hong Kong. No one in DC cared. The Dems love China’s ——money. Biden’s son can set things up for the democrats wanting an infusion of real money. If China can essentially take HK and whatever real estate in the South China Sea without repercussions then they can move on Taiwan with the US doing nothing. I’m guessing there’s a lot of visa activity from the Taiwanese.

    Israel cannot afford a nuclear Iran. They’ve made no secret it is a matter of national survival. The Dems will ok the nucs. They need more Moslem votes. American Jews could care less about Israel.

    At a minimum the GOP must retain the senate. They might not. I think we can expect some moves by the aforementioned states to prevent a Democrat sweep. I imagine the Mossad has the goods on Democrat contenders. Wasn’t Epstein associated with Mossad? Oh my!

            As I presume you well know, no holocaust-proving “facts” have ever been adduced in any German court. Why not? Because under German law, it has never been necessary.

            The Nuremberg triala, for example, were conducted under the so-called “London statutes”:

            “The London statutes were written specifically for this military tribunal. In Article 19 it says, ‘The Tribunal shall not be bound by rules of evidence’. In Article 21: ‘The Tribunal shall not require proof of facts of common knowledge, but shall take judicial notice thereof.’

            https://carolynyeager.net/illogic-holocaust-denial-trials-germany

            What is common knowledge? Something that does not need to be proven. The sun rises in the east. The prisoners are guilty. That kind of thing.

            German courts, including Nuremberg, have never even considered evidence that the holocaust story is almost entirely false.

            Why not? Because the German courts specifically, by law, exclude any consideration of that issue. In other words, they always have been and still are kangaroo courts.

            One especially crude Catch-22 even makes it very dangerous, in fact practically-speaking impossible, for defense attorneys to present evidence for the defense for holcaust-deniers in German courts.

            The problem, you see, is that an attorney endangers himself when he presents his own defense evidence as claims of fact, because that then makes the attorney automatically guilty of “holocaust denial”. For that, he or she will then be arrested and prosecuted.

            But of course, there is no fear of the holocaust story being challenged, as there is so much evidence of it, right?

            The Wunsiedel Decision of the German Supreme Court actually criminalized the giving of certain types of evidence.

            “In the so-called Wunsiedel-decision of the Supreme Court of 2009, the court declared that Germany is by way of exception allowed to keep special statutes such as paragraph 130. That is the statute criminalising one particular kind of speech, with the inherent criminalisation of evidence and legal defense.>/b> Germany is by exception allowed to keep this special statute because of ‘the unique historical identity of the Federal Republic of Germany shaped through contrast to national-socialism.’ In other words, Germany is allowed to keep the exceptions to free speech, because it is the ‘Federal Republic of Germany.’….

        Hi BackRowHeckler,
        Biden is not interested in those extremes. It is why the President cannot land a punch as yet. Biden is middle of the road. And voters are not afraid of him. The President will have to up the crazy to get more than his base riled up, and no guarantee that it will work …

    • JohnAZ August 3, 2020 at 9:26 pm #

      This from the party that lies as a matter of course. The Dems have lied through their teeth with everything they have done since 2016. We, the public, have suffered under their false accusations and phony BS since then. They have made a mockery of DC.

    “Over in Nevada, the state legislature passed a mail-in vote scheme that will send ballots out to everybody and his-or-her uncle, with no ID required, and a feature that permits ballots to be filled-out by someone other than the addressed voter. Nice!”
    .
    Maybe this is their way of admitting that at the heart of it, voting doesn’t matter anyway so why should we care how we do it. Let’s send out ballots to cats while we’re at it. They’d make a more informed choice anyway.
    .
    “There’s your set-up for a 2020 election that can’t possibly be resolved…”
    .
    America’s choice is not between Trump and Biden (or, fill in the blank in his place). It’s really between surviving as a nation or not. It’s about retaining some semblance of civil order or not. It’s about directing energy toward overcoming an economic apocalypse or not. It’s about our children having some kind of useful future or not. It’s about finding the good within us or fully surrendering to the dark side. There are many important things yet to be decided, and none of them have anything to do with toxic time-wasting political dumpster material.

    No need for even a passing discomfort about fraud in the upcoming election. The Supreme Court will stop the count at just the opportune moment.

    Of course the question is not who the electorate has in mind, rather who will be able to further the economic smash and grab now in play.

    Best laugh of the last few months is the people who wonder why the big girls and boys didn’t have a plan. They did have a plan, and it is working like a charm.

    Everyone seems oblivious to the fact that as a functional entity, the U.S. in rapidly barreling towards a degradation if not outright collapse. The “ Black Jesus” and all other upper echelon dems had to have known of biden’s Dementia, so the 64 dollar question is what plan has been in place to get the presidency? Replacement is NOT a viable option this late in the game, so sew confusion post election via mail in fraud? To what positive outcome? I can see none. An election resulting in both sides fervently believing they’ve honestly “won” will unleash a torrent of very BAD JUJU. Meanwhile, 20+ quarts of beans canned with untold amounts of tomatoes to go, cucumbers to pickle and carrots to pick. The potatoes are plentiful but on a sad note the peas are almost gone. Life will go on here regardless of what else occurs in DC.

        In Australia they have almost entirely shut the economy. Why?

        208 people have died of the coronavirus in Australia. Virtually all of them have been nursing home residents. Eight people under the age of 60 have died. 26 people under the age of 70 have died. 36 have been over 80.

        The average lifespan of Australians is 82. The median average coronavirus death in Australia appears to be 85.

        https://dailystormer.su/stage-4-lockdown-australian-economy-in-full-collapse-due-to-lunatic-measures/

        • abcdef August 4, 2020 at 12:22 am #

          Hi Kim,
          Just remember that Australia–because of their lunatic response–has 9 dead per million people and the US has 480 dead per million people. The power of exponentials is at play here. You squash it early and hard, it doesn’t grow exponentially, the way it has here, and your economy doesn’t tank the way it is doing here. Australia has more social cohesion than the US and a solidarity that sees a sizeable majority of the population looking at individuals running around without masks, etc, and applauding as they are heavily fined for doing this. The clear majority get the point that these rugged individualists are putting not only themselves at risk, but more importantly, everyone else they come in contact with.

          And as for the fact that they are old–I get it. Shove the old on ice flows and let nature cull them and save the resources for the younger more productive members of the tribe. That is a choice, but it is one I do not subscribe to.

          • Kim August 4, 2020 at 1:11 am #

            1. Every year the flu kills old people at these rates.

            2. The Australian experience proves that COVID is not a significant threat to people who are not elderly

            3. Australia has reported its numbers honestly – Australia is not as far down the road of corruption as the USA

            4. Australia doesn’t have official policies and incentives in place to encourage massive over-reporting and misreporting

            It is a hoax.

          • Bobby Brown August 4, 2020 at 6:31 am #

            It’s not a hoax you imbecilic ditz. The flu kills on average 20,000 – 30,000 Americans a year. A bad year it’s 100,000, and that’s a really bad year. It’s not even the fall and Covid 19 has killed 150,000 people. Pull your dumb ass head out of your ass and smell the coffee.

            I have traveled all over the country unmasked and have not caught it to my knowledge with that said I was really sick for two weeks in December.

            If you have a morbidity then the virus is no joke then again so is the flu.
            If you are young healthy sleep and eat right its no big deal.
            If you are old it is something else.
            To close down the entire country was a bad idea.
            In that we have had worse plagues they are using this one to do many things I don’t support many of the things my state California is doing and has done is wrong.

            So honestly on the fence and I personally know several people whos loved ones have died and it was blamed on covid-19 and the hospitals reported it as such to get the extra funding. There is an element of hoax wrapped into this.

      • amb August 4, 2020 at 1:30 pm #

        Personally, I’m not in favor of either party. They are both in treason to America. Congress belongs in prison, not the capital building. Yet, I’d always go with the conservatives over the liberals, as the tactics of the liberals (a higher degree of Socialism) are diabolical and insidious, and their agenda–if you can even call it an agenda–is ruinous to any nation-state that has the goal of sovereignty, prosperity, and liberty.

        • abcdef August 4, 2020 at 2:22 pm #

          And Republican moves are not, amb? As for the values you offer, I am certain that Democratic Party followers have those as well, maybe not to the nth degree that you want that would require what others see as ruinous trade-offs. I would argue that the focus on personal liberty right now (I reserve the right to make myself and you ill by not wearing a mask or by nor following social distance guidelines) is an example of “liberty” that I can comfortably reject. It is one reason why America has one of the highest incidence of COVID infection, per million people of population. You want schools to open? Then offer funds to help pay for it to be done safely. That value is reciprocity. The illogic of the President’s rhetoric on this–offering stick only, is self-defeating–in my opinion. What do you think? The President and Republicans act as if what happens to their fellow human, following their wishes for an open flourishing economy, is not being met with a commitment to help those who get sick or who could be made sick with Federal support–either directly, or to the states. What we get is a happy, happy, joy, joy rhetoric divorced to the reality we face. Again, that value is reciprocity. The President loves supporting rich people; not so much us …

    Hi Mr. Kunstler,
    The voting issue is an interesting one, I agree. “Over in Nevada, the state legislature passed a mail-in vote scheme that will send ballots out to everybody and his-or-her uncle, with no ID required, and a feature that permits ballots to be filled-out by someone other than the addressed voter. Nice!” Well, I will point out that the ballot will go to all ACTIVE, REGISTERED voters. How different is that from elsewhere in a majority of different states, once you have established your ability to vote? I wonder if you will brave the wilds of November and stand in line and risk getting COVID by voting in person, or whether you will do as many Americans in a majority of states already do–including our President, and vote by mail? Because, the crocodile tears over this are humorous. It wasn’t an issue 4 years ago. It is only an issue now, because voting by mail makes it EASIER for poor people to vote. And poorer folks might lean… who knows how? The President as good as admitted that mail in voting will sink his chances in Nevada–and it isn’t because of overwhelming fraud (of which we have little evidence, by the way, even if Mr. Barr says it is “common sense”); its because of all those low interest voters who might vote if it doesn’t lose them a day of work. And let us not forget that polling opportunities are NOT evenly distributed throughout this great quality country. Often, there is heavy skewing comparing rural and urban populations, https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/waiting-vote. This creates a disincentive to vote. I mean, waiting hours recently to vote as in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with fewer poll places and far fewer poll workers who tend to skew to older ages hardest hit by COVID? And after voting, picking up COVID–Nice! You don’t like the situation states are in and the choices they are making to deal with a pandemic reality, Mr. Kunstler? Offer a solution that doesn’t require people to put their lives on the line to vote! And that levels the playing field between urban and rural voters. Especially since WE ALREADY DO MAIL IN VOTING IN A MAJORITY OF US STATES… So, I am unconvinced that mail in ballots will mean the end of American Democracy… though, the ACTIVE efforts of Republicans to starve the USPS of resources, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/10/us/politics/postal-service-trump-coronavirus.html, is more likely to get you your doomsday scenario than anything else.
    And as for Bill Clinton and Epstein. It wouldn’t surprise me. But why the silence on the connection between Donald Trump and Mr. Epstein? Blinkers that see only bad on one side limits the power of your analysis, making it one sided. It appeals to those who echo your sentiments consistently here, but if you are pointing out the flaws of Candidate Biden, you owe it to yourself and your readers to point out the sociopathic, narcissistic and mentally blunted capacities of the President as well, though his followers hang on every broken and scattered sentence he shares as if it is a deliberate and amazing utterance from on high, https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/06/inside-the-cult-of-trump-his-rallies-are-church-and-he-is-the-gospel.

It appeals to those who echo your sentiments consistently here, but if you are pointing out the flaws of Candidate Biden, you owe it to yourself and your readers to point out the sociopathic, narcissistic and mentally blunted capacities of the President as well, though his followers hang on every broken and scattered sentence he shares as if it is a deliberate and amazing utterance from on high, https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/06/inside-the-cult-of-trump-his-rallies-are-church-and-he-is-the-gospel.

      “I wonder if you will brave the wilds of November and stand in line and risk getting COVID by voting in person”

      LOL I love this little piece of comedy gold.

      Well then what on God’s green earth are these masks for? Do you anticipate the need for space suits in order to effectively address the risks of election day?

      • abcdef August 4, 2020 at 2:29 pm #

        Hi SoftStarLight,
        Sure, people will have to wear masks and social distance. It lowers your risk, it does not get rid of it. So, why not vote by mail and lower the risk to zero? It is enough of a risk to get the groceries on weekly basis–why increase it, SoftStarLight? Last I saw, dying of disease was not on the list of things that could happen when I go off to vote. The greater import of my comments is to also make clear that there is a major disparity in ease of voting between rural/suburban and urban centres. Those urban voters will be outside longer than others. And some of them WILL get COVID and some will die. Why would you wish that on anyone?

      • Jo-G August 4, 2020 at 9:52 pm #

        “I wonder if you will brave the wilds of November and stand in line and risk getting COVID by voting in person”
        OK I gotta repeat myself, they held in person voting for the national election here while we were locked down. The Koreans do meticulous contact tracing. Of the COVID-19 cases occurring during the two weeks after the election they found zero infections traceable to voting. Note that the Korean voters are much less diverse than those in the United States (only citizens vote and it is difficult for a foreigner to gain citizenship), so since “diversity is our strength” even if the Koreans experienced some transmission at the poling places our diverse population would use our strength to out perform the Koreans. It really isn’t an issue but this year the U.S. seems to have become a fact free zone. From over here you people arguing that you must have mail-in voting because of some risk of COVID-19 seem like a bunch of fools. You can go to the grocery store, as long as you’re shouting BLM you can jam into large crowds, but you can’t quietly spread out in a school cafeteria or church basement to vote. We were allowed to walk in our neighborhoods for exercise during our lockdown so on voting day I walked past the neighborhood polling place. The Korean voters weren’t following their own distancing guideline closely. But they did hand sanitize on entry. I wanted to go inside to see exactly how they did it but that would be a violation of our rules so I just looked in the door.

        • abcdef August 5, 2020 at 12:04 pm #

          Hi Jo-G,
          Thank you for sharing your personal observations. Out of curiosity, what was their rate of infection/spread at the time? Does SK have the same level of deaths per million population as the US? Do people wear masks in SK? And at the polling places? Does SK have a greater sense of social solidarity than the US and a willingness to follow mandated guidelines? You can tell were I am going with these questions. The fact is that SK took this pandemic much more seriously than the US did, as did much more of its populace. I think that going out and being actively social in the way in person voting entails requires low levels of infection so as to decrease the possibility of picking up the disease. We aren’t even close to being there, and I have no confidence that enough Americans will be willing to comply with mask wearing and social distancing to make that happen here in time. Out of curiosity, how long did people have to wait to vote, where you were? Suburban or urban?

      We are changing from a system where a percentage of ballots are by mail to one where all ballots are mailed in. The USPS is very poorly run, and the capability for fraud is the same as for the rest of the corrupted Deep State.

      The Deep State is the evil distorting this country right now. The last vestige of independence by the people showed up in the last election. The Post Office is one of many corrupted agencies of the Deep State. Giving the vote to them potentially destroys the independence of the election process.

      Of course, BB, the government never does evil, does it. Your and others here are so gullible it is amazing. Good little recruits.

          Hi John AZ,
          It is one thing to slam the Federal government as incompetent–I have more than enough sympathy for that line of thinking–it is another to ignore what I offered–that the USPS is being systematically undermined by the President and by Republicans. Why? Ideological reasons of course, but it is in the Constitution!But are you seriously arguing that if you make voting easier that the President will be re-elected this November? Not because of fraud–but because more people who would otherwise be working will be voting, and if you are getting by marginally… well, you don’t like handouts and protected status for the wealthy and people telling you that you are not going to be protected and even protected less … so, how will they vote, I wonder?

    Leaked police bodycam footage of George Floyd’s arrest is out. It seems like he is really tweaking and highly agitated that he is tied up with the law yet again. I almost wonder if he literally worked himself up into a heart attack and why this footage wasn’t released much sooner. He started talking about claustrophobia and being unable to breath before he was tackled to the ground. Seems like a massive panic attack. He is acting a liitle too and even his friend tells him to stop resisting. They probably should have just called for an ambulance right away and made him sit on the ground until the ambulance got there?

        • SoftStarLight August 4, 2020 at 9:41 am #

          Not for everyone. It’s not as if this tactic hasn’t be used on other people. He was having trouble breathing basically once the altercation started. That is why I was saying that it seems like they should have just called an ambulance right away and just restrained him until it arrived. He is obviously bugged out. I also don’t understand why there wasn’t someone who was trying to calm him down and get his breathing calmed down. All someone would have had to do is say “Ok you say you are wanting to comply, ok, I’m gonna need you to stop moving and struggling and start breathing for me ok. I’m going to breath with you ok.” He seemed like a big overgrown child needing guidance.

          • Bobby Brown August 4, 2020 at 11:27 am #

He was scared he would be dead in a few minutes if he made the tiniest of mistakes. Do you have any idea what it is like to be a big strong black man in a white man’s world? Obviously NOT.

          • SoftStarLight August 4, 2020 at 1:13 pm #

            I feel bad for him ok and what happened. I am serious about what I said regarding this seeming to be a medical need more than anything else. He needed someone to put him in a rehab right away and no one did. And if he was so scared of getting shot I can promise you he wouldn’t have been resisting and doing things to create a more chaotic situation. Anyone knows the more chaos the more likely a shot is going to go off.

            The entire video showed him hyperventilating from the start and acting like a maniac and resisting.
            The narrative portrayed was false and used for lighting a marxist revolution in our country.

          • SoftStarLight August 5, 2020 at 2:27 am #

            I think she says kids. I’m wondering who is watching them with her being out late at night like that. And too, putting oneself in potential harms way seems outlandish to me in the circumstance. Her first concern needs to be who is going to take care of her kids if something happens to her. So your question has created questions lol. I can’t relate to her white guilt because I don’t feel that way. But I mean it was sad and he sounds sad and so upset in that video it really does make this primordial feeling well up in you of just wanting to help him, calm him down. It’s truly horrendous how our media here has hidden the full details and distorted the view into what happened. Now I can totally get the much earlier reporting of him having fentanyl and meth in his system. At first they reported it as if it was an almost unimportant little detail. Now it’s completely clear he was od’ing. And even though I have sympathy and empathy, I do realize he wasn’t like an upstanding citizen or anything so the fauxish (IMO) rage is very bizarre to me personally as it won’t bring him back and it may alienate potential supporters.

        Hi SoftStarLight,
        But we DO have answers–it is the reason why Americans do not support the President’s handling of this crisis–because other countries we can read about and see on the news are doing BETTER than we are. You can denigrate Bobby Brown as much as you want, but the evidence is before you–the President chose the path of initially basically IGNORING this crisis. Well, guess what, there are a set of options better than that, and we still cannot get it together as a nation on this.

        • SoftStarLight August 5, 2020 at 2:36 am #

          Because the nation is way too much of a hodge podge. We lack an actually united culture. Say what you want but Trump would have been criticized no matter, and in spite of, any response. It’s beyond a tired story. And Trump’s current approval rating is higher than Obama’s was at the same in his presidency.

          • abcdef August 5, 2020 at 12:24 pm #

            Hi SoftStarLight,
            What “cultural disunity” do you have in mind here? I agree that we are a hodge podge politically–federalism makes a centralised response harder to implement, but other countries have federal systems and have done way better than us. Ethnically, other countries have “melting pots” of minorities, and they seem able to handle the COVID better than we do.

            I get one difference though–the American emphasis on individuality. If I really believe I can do what I like, then, doing things that go against health mandates is an OK thing that expresses my individuality. As I said before, other countries that are successfully tackling this crisis have better social solidarity than the US and really understand that personal actions also affect others in the case of a pandemic. That is not universally believed here.

            As for being criticised, no matter what, I agree–that is a fair criticism to level–but that comes with the turf, as President, in a two party system. The question is: Did the President handle this crisis well? I think the answer is no. We can disagree on that. As for the polls, you could be right that DT will come back and surprise everyone. BO didn’t have a botched pandemic response weighing him down, though…

          • Majella August 5, 2020 at 8:53 pm #

    Last night in Hartford, 9 people shot. It would be redundant to say “in the community,” since the entire city is “the community”. No big deal, the big news here is a tropical storm is moving in. Sure it has to be reported, but why frighten Whitey in the suburbs unnecessarily, and distract from the Covid-19 Doomsday Message. Besides, last weekend Community Members were shot in New London, Meriden, and Manchester, small cities that not long ago were quite civilized. Interestingly enough, cities large and small where Community Members are engaging in deadlly gunplay are cities where BLM agitation is still occurring. There appears to be a commensurate relationship. The other night in New Haven a Comnunity Member shot full of holes inside a car on an I-95 offramp, enough of a novelty to remain in the news cycle for a few hours.

    Seems this little German demon was child raped by her German pederast father (so what’s new) and now we have another demon leashed on the world. Her coworkers attest that our demon is one nasty piece of work and are suing the show for being a toxic environment for its workers.

      Horrendous and inexcusable just the same, but making stuff up rarely helps anyone except propagandists.

          Still not her biological father – your should have clarified. If someone says ‘father’ people assume it’s the biological father unless otherwise stated. Being sexually assaulted is awful whoever does it, but don’t pretend it’s not worse if it’s your own father.

            Again. He is her father. That’s how the law sees it, that’s how Jewish law sees it, and that’s how I see it.

            My grandfather married my grandmother after she was with child and her husband was murdered by the Nazis. My grandmother escaped the horror of Nazi Europe on foot to Kazakhstan, with my mom as an infant child and my grandmother’s 12 year old brother. You can just imagine what that was like. They were the only survivors from an extended family of hundreds. I did not know my grandfather adopted my mom until he passed away. He was always my grandfather. There was never even the smallest hint otherwise.

          • GreenAlba August 4, 2020 at 3:04 pm #

            You are being deliberately obtuse. You know perfectly well that any normal person would regard a sexual assault by a biological parent as worse than a non-biological parent. I have no idea if she was adopted anyway – if she was adopted, I’d assume he’d be referred to as her adoptive father, rather than her stepfather.

            GA – Yes…where IS he? Licking his wounds? The psychic pus load may be getting quite overwhelming for his ego-immune system.

            No doubt, he’ll be back, just as nasty as ever, but without a word of acknowledgment that he has been nailed, that HCQ is not a miracle cure or prophylactic and that Dr. Ronny “The Candy Man” Jackson had long since departed the W.H. Medical Corps when Tweets was claiming his collegial relationship (with implied personal acquaintanceship) and accusing you & your GP Doctor of being ‘arrogant’ in knowing more about it than Dr. Candy Man.

            Or perhaps his Corporate Masters (Ha! If only they knew the joke was on THEM!). Perhaps an offshore assignment? Somewhere quiet, like Vietnam, and a long way from the Frankfurt office…I guess his colleagues had had enough! After all, we only get the odd crumb of his wondrousness, when he chooses to bless us with it. They have it all day EVERY day. Poor sods.

          • GreenAlba August 7, 2020 at 7:04 am #

            Yes, he’ll be back. And he’ll be at it again next time there’s another pro-HCQ trial reported (which there probably will be (out of 200 or so), because with some strains of the virus it seems to help). Because he still probably hasn’t got the point of the doc’s actual post.

            He needs VENGEANCE. And, as with the above, he doesn’t even think about what he’s actually saying. Vengeance, NOW.

            We’re still waiting for the apology to capt spaulding for taunting him about ‘remote viewing’. There will be no apologies for his childish vendetta or his grandstanding (‘the wreckage is total’; ‘laugh long and hard, kidz’).

            I’ve apologised (even to the Narc-owl!); you’ve apologised; benr has apologised; elysianfield has apologised. The Narc-owl can’t apologise. Not in its DNA.

        People calling others “faggot” are almost always projecting their own hidden homosexual tendencies.

        Akmofo likely has some serious psycho-sexual issues that he hasn’t resolved.

        His MO is to denigrate those with a POV different from his own, by using ad hominem attacks and puerile name-calling.

        I’m amazed that JHK has banned many others here for less than what this troll continues to act out.

        • akmofo August 4, 2020 at 11:55 am #

          Card Holder,

          You’re way off base. My hostility to faggots and commies stems as reaction to their complete cultural and political overreach and subversion. What’s happening in the world today is truly surrealistic, and I’ve determined that I will not put up with it anymore. And where I’m first the others will soon follow. They always do. These faggots and commies have basically declared war on us and our culture, and I intend to return them in kind.

          As I said before, when it’s all said and done these faggot commie fatheads are going to be squashed into fertilizer. There’s going to blood shed, because they’ve made it impossible otherwise. There will be no more compromise. No more live and let live. Obviously they do not abide by such norms.

            Akmofo,

            I’m not saying that you don’t have something of value to contribute, but . . .

            You undercut your reasoning/rationale by attacking the humanity and dignity of others here simply because they have a different perspective/worldview.

            Your claims would be more influential and have more credibility if you simply criticized others’ POV with a sturdy, documented, and reasoned counter-argument.

            Name-calling offers nothing to recommend it, and detracts from the points you are making.

          • akmofo August 4, 2020 at 1:10 pm #

            Card Holder,

            I don’t have any claims, and I’m not engaged in a debate or any arguments. Personal behavior and deviancy that should have remained personal and private, has now become school curriculum to little kids and is pushed by the MSM Vatican propaganda outlets as a global cultural norm. I’m not going to put up with it. I intend to erase it, and those that stand in the way will be erased with it. These faggots have crossed the line, and I intend to cross them out of existence. It might take a few years, but their day will come. It always does.

            Pope Benedict remarked on that recently. In today’s world anyone you doesn’t believe in gay marriage is deemed a monster unfit for uncivilized company. The speed of the transformation, both in the Church and in the West at large, is simply extraordinary. The “revolutions” are from above. It’s already been decided at high levels before it becomes an issue demonstrated on the streets, reported in the media, legislated in state and national capitals, and disputed in the state and national courts.

            And thank you, benr, too, for standing up against this revolting behaviour.

            My nephew happens to be gay. He’s not a faggot, or a commie, or part of any government mafia, or a satanist. He’s just a lovely young man, who loves his family and works for a living like everyone else. And he’s not trying to make anyone else gay – he didn’t choose to be gay himself.

          • akmofo August 4, 2020 at 1:25 pm #

            I have sympathy for your nephew. He is a broken human being. I wouldn’t wish his predicament on anyone. He will continue to have my sympathy and apathy as long as he keeps his predicament private where it belongs.

            But that’s not what we generally have. What we have is a coercion of this broken sexuality on others as a cultural societal norm. This coercion is an unacceptable war on society and it will be met with war in return.

            That’s where we are now. We are at war.

          • Sredni Vashtar August 4, 2020 at 2:15 pm #

            Quite so: If allowed, the Global State will put them above ordinary people – “breeders”, “hets”, “cisgenders” as they so nicely call us – as many Western nations have already begun to do.

          • GreenAlba August 4, 2020 at 2:55 pm #

            Your sympathy is neither welcome nor necessary, since my nephew is not in any predicament. He is who he is, with the full love and support of his family, and is not in any way broken. He is a happy, productive, hard-working and artistic individual. His macho heterosexual brother, on the other hand, was broken by the vicissitudes of his relatively short life and is now dead. My gay nephew will continue to be a support to his family, who have also lost their father. Your wilful ignorance does you no credit.

          • akmofo August 4, 2020 at 3:35 pm #

            Your nephew isn’t normal. He is a deformity. And like anyone with a deformity he has my sympathy. And that’s where it ends.

      The Black community made more economic progress under the last three years of Trump than ever before. Until Covid and the Democrats tearing down the economy for the express purpose of beating Trump. All those other folks you mentioned are apologists for a gimme Black community. Trump put Blacks to work lifting them out of a quagmire of poverty.

      • Bobby Brown August 4, 2020 at 11:21 am #

        That may or may not be true. I have not seen anything pro or con. The question is what did Trump do? Specifically? Civil Rights Act. War on Poverty. Welfare. Specifically, what did Trump do for blacks?

        • JohnAZ August 4, 2020 at 12:41 pm #

          Listen to this. Trump unlocked the potential of the economy of the US. He did it by presenting to the entrepreneurs of the country an open field, to invest and profit. He did it unbiased, all ethnic groups benefitted. Don’t you see when you do the things you mentioned, civil rights, war on poverty etc. , you are making folks more dependent on the government, for the Blacks you are extending their dependence on the yes, Massah, way of thinking. Yes, Massah, Uncle Sam, tell me what to do to get my stipend.

          The real racism is demonstrated by everyone who wants the Blacks to maintain their dependence, especially the BLM movement and their dependence on their Massah, the Democratic Party.

          Blacks were succeeding along with everyone else.

            It was hard for a black man to find a job back in the 1960’s. That’s why Lyndon Johnson enacted affirmative action. My father was a cargo manager for a small airline. One of the loaders was a black man. My father had some health issues that put him in the hospital for a month during the summer of I think 1967. I remember I was like 6 or 7 years old. That black man came to our house and mowed our yard every week while my father was sick. Wasn’t asked. Wasn’t paid. My father’s 3 brothers didn’t even visit him, let alone offer to help him or his family. He was grateful my father had given him a job, and he wanted to show his gratitude and respect. You’re wrong about black people. They don’t want a hand out.

        Hi JohnAZ,
        Two things:
        1. Economic prosperity is an important factor to take into account in considering whether black folks are better off. Is it the only criteria that you think is important? Because if it isn’t, a lot of black folks think that things have gotten worse, just ask the BLM people.
        2. Just as a fact checking: https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2020-06-07/ap-fact-check-trump-exaggerations-on-blacks-economic-gains

    Mr Kunstler states: “In California, where anybody with a driver’s license is automatically registered to vote via the 2015 “New Motor Voter Act,” ballots will go out to 600,000 un-documented non-citizens”.

    That seems a little far-fetched. I tried to look into this, and it seems that, though people are not being asked point blank whether they are citizens, they are asked questions that would make them ineligible.

    Though I don’t *believe* there is any verification of that information and so people are taken at their word, it’s not quite the same as saying: if you have a driver’s license, you WILL have the right to vote.

    Can anyone confirm?

      California did in deed pass a law that automatically signs people up top vote.
      They must check a box to opt out of being signed up to vote and they had over 800k sign up in a pretty short time.
      New York has also adopted some such law.
      That could be around 2 million illegal aliens allowed to vote in just two states.

        Looking it up, I came across:
        https://www.hoover.org/research/californias-motor-voter-system-unsafe-any-speed

        which says:
        “the questionnaire aggregates five separate characteristics (including age and citizenship status) into one yes-or-no prompt as to whether an applicant is eligible to vote. If an applicant either doesn’t understand the terms of the question, or chooses not to answer it honestly, that raises a concern as to whether the state has a filter with which to make sure non-citizens don’t receive a ballot.”

        Seems to be saying: people are asked questions such as: are you 18, a citizen not in prison etc to sort out whether you are eligible to vote.

        There seems to be no check on your answers if you lie, but that’s still not the same as: if you have driver’s license, then you have the right to vote.

            The Democratic Party of the US is lost. It’s sits to the right of the most right-wing political party in my home country, and many other western democracies as well.

            benr – you’re no doubt aware that the human mind is a pattern-recognition machine, first & foremost. But while the mind WANTS to see a pattern (trend) and so will usually FIND one, that doesn’t necessarily make it true.

            I express my honest opinion hereabouts. I DON’T ‘lie’ for the DNC. Please, drop that tiresome old trope. You express your honest opinions too, but you tend to toss in a little too much unsupportable hyperbole. I know you’re genuine in your stated beliefs, but someone disagreeing with you doesn’t make them a ‘liar’.

      AB 1461, Gonzalez. Voter registration: California New Motor Voter Program.
      Existing law, the federal National Voter Registration Act of 1993, requires a state to, among other things, establish procedures to register a person to vote by application made simultaneously with an application for a new or renewal of a motor vehicle driver’s license. The federal act requires the motor vehicle driver’s license application to serve as an application for voter registration with respect to an election for federal office, unless the applicant fails to sign the application, and requires the application to be considered as updating the applicant’s previous voter registration, if any. The federal act defines “motor vehicle driver’s license” to include any personal identification document issued by a state motor vehicle authority.(K) A notation that the applicant has attested that he or she meets all voter eligibility requirements, including United States citizenship, specified in Section 2101.

    Are people today an asset or a liability? What about AI robots? In a pre-industrial society, such as the Antebellum South, the absence of machines meant that strong backs and weak minds were highly valued. People with high IQs were not valued as they were a huge pain-in-the-ass.

    “ Even though Louis XVI never knew how many subjects he had, he knew they were the source of his kingdom’s wealth and power. More people meant more taxpayers, and therefore greater royal revenue. It meant more potential recruits for the royal army in times of war. More enslaved blacks in the colonies meant more valuable tropical crops, such as sugar and coffee, lucrative exports that French merchants sold to the rest of Europe.”

    Wow, this is a disheartening post, mostly about the mail-in election. I don’t know anything about the law but I don’t see how the various states can issue such edicts. What are the reasons and laws behind the present system? How can it be legal to mail ballots to those holding driver’s licenses but who are not citizens? How can it be possible to have less rather than more checking for a mail-in ballot? I had rather hoped that the shenanigans that have arisen over the mail-in ballots for the primary would put paid to the notion of repeating it nationally in November.
    There is increasing talk of civil war. Those who are really prepared to fight it – those with guns and who have some patriotism for this country – have absolutely no desire to engage but will do so if the election is stolen.
    It is almost certain that if there is a mail-in election all bets are off so far as having the citizenry respect or believe the results. It will be regarded as illegitimate because that is exactly what it will be. And when you consider that a dishonestly stolen election will mean the implementation of a totalitarian state, I am sorry to say that I will support the civil war as being necessary and a civic duty.

    • JohnAZ August 4, 2020 at 10:59 am #

      A civic duty!

      You are following the tenets of the Declaration of Independence. TJ knew, they all did, that a long existing government creates corruption and power mongering and that evil congregates where strong government exists. So his statement is that it is the responsibility of the people to overthrow a government when it becomes oppressive.

      The vote is supposed to do that peaceably. Thanks to continuous corruption of the voting right by the Left, the vote is not honest any more. The entire governmental structure is so distorted to the Left, thanks to the RINOs cowardice that the people are not represented any more.

      Time for a revolution.

    Did you ever attend Sunday School?

    There was this girl older than me in my Sunday School class who got me to read the 1970’s self-exploration book “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”. I think that she was horny, but, because of her age, she was confused and only obliquely aware of her horniness? I think that her feminist mom gave her the book? The think that the girl and her mom were both Witches?

    I’ve had many run ins with Witches in my life. There are many Witches out there. Usually, white women…. If there’s one thing that White Women are good at, it is Witchcraft. Hands Down….

    Ted Bundy’s Mom was a witch. His dad was allegedly a sailor on shore leave, probably a demon…. “We’re all just passing through….”

    • Bobby Brown August 4, 2020 at 12:21 pm #

      If I remember correctly that book was about excellence. The seagull teaches himself how to fly better than any other seagull.

          Puck set that punch up, and youse guys walked right into it.

          I read it though, and I think it is about excellence. It was made into a movie and the actress said she felt the spirit of the seagull “actor” go into her as it died after the 100th retake of a scene where she throws it upwards.

          In the book, Jonathan dies and is reborn in a better Sea Gull realm, where other Sea Gulls care about the beauty of flying like he does. In this realm all they care about is eating, fighting and fucking – and the politics thereof in the flock.

    Hundreds of young ‘Revolutionaries’ in Portland, Oregon, in the streets after dark surrounding the Federal Courthouse, launching professional grade fireworks at US Marshall and ICE SWAT, vandalizing property, setting fires, tearing down fences, all with the tacit approval of the Mayor and City Council … cloaked in the anonymity of the crowd, the darkness, the mask … how thrilling it must have been! “We showed those Pigs where it’s at, we own the streets ha”. Yeah, sure you do. Hundreds of hours of video, thousands of photographs, are being poured over right now by experienced investigators figuring out who’s who, paid informants are being interviewed, and plainclothes officers who circulated thru the crowds identifying terroristic crimes are giving testimony. Feds have a long memory, and these young dumbasses,1, 2, 5, or 10 years from now, long after the excitement is over, can expect a knock at the door, and standing outside are US Marshalls serving a warrant for terrorism, haha.

      Thank you. I was reading that last night. It really show the corruption at the headwaters of our system. And a Supreme Court Justice went along with it when named to head the Nuremberg Court. So the tortured Prisoners were castigated for things the Allies had done – or were still doing! – and for laws that didn’t even exist at the time (those of the nascent Global State). Other Supreme Court Justices quietly noted the sham while Churchill gloated and reveled in the scam along with the Russians and Jews. The ultimate show trial! Supreme Court Justice Jackson realized soon that he was just the conductor and others were calling the tune.

      After defeating them again and again in the Courtroom, Goering, ever the Master, took his own life, since they would not grant him the dignity of a military execution

      CC: Göring left three suicide notes, one of which was addressed to the Allied Control Council on one of his last remaining official letterhead papers:

      I would have let you shoot me without further ado! But it is not possible to hang the German Reichsmarschall! I cannot permit this, for Germany’s sake. Besides, I have no moral obligation to submit to the justice of my enemies. I have therefore chosen the manner of death of the great Hannibal. . . It was clear from the outset that a death sentence would be pronounced against me, as I have always regarded the trial as a purely political act by the victors, but I wanted to see this trial through for my people’s sake and I did at least expect that I should not be denied a soldier’s death. Before God, my country, and my conscience I feel myself free of the blame that an enemy tribunal has attached to me.

      SV: The Trial proved to be Jackson’s swan song as well. The Nuremberg trial left a bad taste in the mouths of many of the best Americans, particularly those of German heritage. He was tainted and tarnished by its sordid stench ever after.

    • abcdef August 4, 2020 at 5:17 pm #

      Hi elysianfield,
      Those fellows got everything they deserved. It reminded me of the line from Apocalypse Now that Kurtz shared: “And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were men… trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love… but they had the strength… the strength… to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral… and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling… without passion… without judgment… without judgment! Because it’s judgment that defeats us.” As you can guess, I reject that capacity to break with yourself so completely as a sign of a diseased mind. You may think otherwise. Thankfully AH killed himself so we could avoid the gross rationalisations he would have offered in his defence at Nuremberg. Sorry, these folks were complicit in the deaths of millions of people and they had to be punished for it.

      And Sredni Vashtar, I agree, the allies did wrong as well. A firebombing of Dresden? Why not! And those who ordered it should have been held to account as well. Even if that did not happen, the deeds of the German leadership were heinous and deserved the highest censure, so the moral failings of one group does not invalidate a judgement laid of the utter human failing of the German war leadership. I would have preferred life in prison without the possibility of parole. But that is me.

      • Sredni Vashtar August 4, 2020 at 6:22 pm #

        As Patton said (before he died mysteriously), the kind of vengeance that was unleashed on both the people (starved after both wars) and leaders of Germany was “not Aryan”. Not noble and not in the traditions of our people. Rather something out of the chronicles of ancient Assyria. And the POW’s. Wow, study what was done to them. Including, unbelievably, White Russians who had fought with the Allies against Hitler. Given over to Stalin to be worked to death in Siberia. Project Keelhaul – some of the purest evidence of the Evil hat has conquered the West.

        • Bobby Brown August 4, 2020 at 6:59 pm #

          Operation Keelhaul was a low point for the Allies. But as they say Stalin held all the cards. The Red Army could have taken the whole continent, which is precisely why Patton wanted to fight them. I’ve often wondered how the Sherman tank would have done against the T-34, which I consider not only the greatest tank ever made, but the greatest weapon system ever made. It won World War 2. When you win the big one, you are the big one.

            Hi Bobby Brown,
            My two cents worth:
            Sherman would be clobbered by a T-34.
            The Panther was a better tank, but far fewer of them against T-34 and Sherman

          Germany got exactly what they deserved, but not quite enough.

          They were spared the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombs, because the Russians and Americans were close enough that the freak, disgusting, beast Hitler had to take the coward’s way out and commit suicide.

          The honorable Japanese sought surrender for the good of their country.

          Hi Sredni Vashtar,
          As for treatment of prisoners and civilian populations, what do you think of the German treatment of those east of the Oder? Unless it is “Aryan” to slaughter millions. And the way that the Germans treated prisoners on the Eastern front? Agreed, it was eye for an eye, but even then, the Russians did far less to the Germans than was done to Poland, Ukraine, Belorussia, etc.

        ” without judgment! Because it’s judgment that defeats us.” As you can guess, I reject that capacity to break with yourself so completely as a sign of a diseased mind.”

        Alpha Bet,
        To rationalize is to be human. Judgment, based on accurate and objective observations, is an intellectual positive. Judgment, based on selective, subjective observation can be flawed.

        I ofttimes wonder what the Axis powers would have been done to Eisenhower, or Marshall, had we lost the war…not to mention our political leaders. The greatest sin of a warring nation is to lose. Germany’s leaders, no more corrupt than others, showed dignity and a moral compass in the face of death. How would you define human value? Honor? Patriotism? Intelligence? Altruism?

        Complicit? Who ain’t?

        • abcdef August 5, 2020 at 12:58 pm #

          Hi elysianfield,
          I would appreciate just being called abcdef, but you choose as you wish.

          It is a good question about how the Germans would have treated allied commanders, and I have no idea. But, I will disagree with you about the moral compass claim. Reading the manner in which these men deflected their responsibility for this war, by claiming variations of Befehl ist Befehl (“an order is an order”) is a sign of moral failure, in my mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders. This notion of diffused responsibility is the kind of thinking that allows genocides to take place–after all, I am one among a chain of people who gets things done, and as one, I am not responsible for the whole: I only rounded up people; I only took them to the rail yard; I only drove the train that took them to their final destination; I only put them in their barracks; I only guarded the towers; I only loaded the gas pellets; I only pulled a lever; … etc. I am a small part of a vast machine, and I am not responsible for it…

          You are required to obey orders in the armed forces, but you obey a criminal order at your own risk. No criminal order is a lawful military order (at least in the US). There might need to be a court martial to sort it out, but the willingness to disobey a criminal military order is the sign of a moral individual in my mind. And the genocidally oriented orders that the Germans issued (for Jews and for Slavs) are–in my mind and without doubt–immoral AND criminal. At least in the US army, you would not be summarily shot, as was the case in the German army at the time for disobeying an order. https://www.history.com/news/why-german-soldiers-dont-have-to-obey-orders

          Have I answered your last questions, elysianfield?

          • elysianfield August 5, 2020 at 2:25 pm #

            abcdef,
            The questions answered but not resolved. If one were to consider following orders…the Nuremberg paradigm, as aberrant, then the history of humankind is…what, mentally or morally faulted? Genocides always occur…in every decade, somewhere on Earth. It is well and good to refuse what you believe an unlawful order, but you will do so at extreme peril. I do not fault the Germans for following orders, any more than I fault the pilots of the “Mighty 8th” for following the orders of Curtis Lemay.

            There are some rules of warfare, usually agreed upon by the various combatants, but morality, which is cultural and subjective, would be miss-applied in most cases…and after the fact, any morality would mirror the morality of the victors.

            “You are required to obey orders in the armed forces, but you obey a criminal order at your own risk.”

            We must, then, hire more lawyers to parse each order we receive, lest we become criminals ourselves. It is a worthy object, but unworkable. Orders in wartime are orders…not suggestions. You win the war, you go home a hero, with stories to tell the grandkids. You lose, well, that is the real crime, isn’t it?

            It is at this juncture that reality bites feel-good morality in the ass….

            We can agree to disagree.

          • Sredni Vashtar August 5, 2020 at 2:28 pm #

            The invading Russian troops were ordered to rape German women. The other allies volunteered to do the same, Americans not excepted.

          • abcdef August 5, 2020 at 4:09 pm #

            Hi elysianfields,
            Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I disagree with the underlying premise of your claim that we can divorce issues of ethical conduct from who wins or loses. You are sympathetic to the maxim that “Those who win the wars get to write the history (and call who won moral)” but I am not.

            “If one were to consider following orders…the Nuremberg paradigm, as aberrant, then the history of humankind is…what, mentally or morally faulted?” In a word, those who participate in this behaviour today are to be morally faulted. I could claim the same of the Romans who salted the earth where Carthage once stood. I agree that it removed the perceived enemy–it does not make their behaviour moral UNLESS, you subscribe to the view that the “power to impose my will on others makes what I do moral.” There is a lot to commend Nietzsche, but this view is not something I ascribe to. Let me be clear–“aberrant” is an interesting choice of words–this behaviour is not “aberrant” in the sense of being outside the normal scope of human behaviour–I accept that it is unfortunately all too normal; all too human. That does not justify or make it right. Americans who killed people at My Lai (or No Gun Ri) believed that they were also following their commander’s orders. But that doesn’t make what they did right.

            “We must, then, hire more lawyers.” I thought that is why we have a Judge Advocate General’s Corps, right? And yes, we can indeed agree to disagree! 🙂

          • elysianfield August 5, 2020 at 9:16 pm #

            abcdef,
            I might be able to accept your premise if the basic tenants of morality were universally accepted (even in a general sense)…morality, however, is, I believe, a cultural construct…subject to local, regional, or national custom.

            Please, if you respond, do not use murder as an example. In New Guinea, they will gobble you up and thank their good fortune…only remorse they will experience is not being higher up on the totem to get the good parts….

          • abcdef August 6, 2020 at 12:44 pm #

            Hi elysianfields,
            “Please, if you respond, do not use murder as an example.”

            Murder, murder most foul!!! 🙂

            OK, I understand your view, but I have never been a fan of ethical relativism. I think that the Papua and New Guinea highlanders are morally wrong for doing as they do, even if you appear to believe that “when in Rome, do as the Romans do.” I think that leads to some spectacularly bad outcomes.

            In this, I think of the test of whether the person doing it would also be OK with it being done to them or those they love–so, I am more in favour of Kant’s Categorical Imperative, especially the maxim of ends-means which makes more intuitive sense to me than his universalizability formulation.

            Let us consider that split within Kurtz and compare it to the Germands. As a piece of speculation, it is telling that even though it could not be kept secret with so many involved, the Germans went to a lot of effort to disguise what they were doing from the world and their own populace in the Final Solution. If they truely believed it was as moral as these individuals thought it was, they wouldn’t have tried to hide it (I grant that keeping it secret would help keep the Jewish population more docile). After all, the Wannsee conference was especially tight on security, even as the participants congratulated themselves on what they were operationalizing. I think this is an example of the SPLIT consciousness and conscience that Kurtz was talking about. “Judgement defeats us” is another way of saying that ethical consideration of the Other would stop us, if we would let it. So, let us stop that judgement. I think they knew what they were doing was wrong on one level and justified it on another. It didn’t stop it from being wrong. What do you think?

          • elysianfield August 6, 2020 at 7:54 pm #

            abcdef,
            The core of the issue is…thinking it is wrong. Separate any justification or rationalization from the metric, and the issue is stripped bare. The “do unto others” suggestion is, perhaps, wishful thinking, and has a definite Christian smell to it. Every day…EVERY DAY, every person on this planet might violate that tenant in one way or another in word or deed. Moral code, or merely a suggestion?

            Consider small children. Until they are taught social graces, they will torment, steal, and visit violence on their peers. They will do so until corrected by a parent in whatever culture they are found, and the correction will mirror cultural norms. They do not appear to be innately moral. Behavior/morality is learned at their mother’s knee.

            I just do not see a universal moral code. Children who have caring parents are found to be more civilized…more “moral” then the ferals who perhaps did not get the instruction. I believe the example is apt. Have you an opposing one?

    Britain was bombed by Germany throughout the war, mostly in ’40 and ’41. Who was mainly responsible for the Dresden bombing? Churchill had good reason for revenge.

    A message was also being sent to the Russians.

    “So it Goes”. Hard to believe that Vonnegut as a pow survives the Dresden bombing in a slaughterhouse meat locker. Way to go Kurt, escaping the fires of hell and then writing about them.

    Post war moralizations by non combatants are a dime a dozen. Not that they shouldn’t be made, but they’re too often made out of sentiment and a leaning towards Panglossian perspective.

    From Lockdowns to “The Great Reset”

    08/01/2020Antony P. Mueller, Von Mises Institute

    The lockdown in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the implementation of long-held plans to establish a so-called new world order. Under the auspices of the World Economic Forum (WEF), global policymakers are advocating for a “Great Reset” with the intent of creating a global technocracy. It is not by coincidence that on October 18, 2019, in New York City the WEF participated in “Event 201” at the “high-level” pandemic exercise organized by the John Hopkins Center for Health Security.

    This coming technocracy involves close cooperation between the heads of the digital industry and of governments. With programs such as guaranteed minimum income and healthcare for all, the new kind of governance combines strict societal control with the promise of comprehensive social justice.

    The truth, however, is that this new world order of digital tyranny comes with a comprehensive social credit system. The People’s Republic of China is the pioneer of this method of surveillance and control of individuals, corporations, and sociopolitical entities.

    For the individual, one’s identity is reduced to an app or chip that registers almost any personal activity. In order to gain a few individual rights, and be it only to travel to a certain place, a person must balance such apparent privileges with his submission to a web of regulations that define in detail what is “good behavior” and deemed as beneficial to humankind and the environment. For example, during a pandemic, this sort of control would extend from the obligation of wearing a mask and practicing social distancing to having specific vaccinations in order to apply for a job or to travel.

    It is, in short, a type of social engineering which is the opposite of a spontaneous order or of development. Like the mechanical engineer with a machine, the social engineer—or technocrat—treats society as an object. Different from the brutal suppressions by the totalitarianism of earlier times, the modern social engineer will try to make the social machine work on its own according to the design. For this purpose, the social engineer must apply the laws of society the way the mechanical engineer follows the laws of nature. Behavioral theory has reached a stage of knowledge that makes the dreams of social engineering possible. The machinations of social engineering operate not through brute force, but subtly by nudge.

    Under the order envisioned by the Great Reset, the advancement of technology is not meant to serve the improvement of the conditions of the people but to submit the individual to the tyranny of a technocratic state. “The experts know better” is the justification.

    The Agenda
    The plan for an overhaul of the world is the brainchild of an elite group of businessmen, politicians, and their intellectual entourage that used to meet in Davos, Switzerland, in January each year. Brought into existence in 1971, the World Economic Forum has become a megaglobal event since then. More than three thousand leaders from all over the world attended the meeting in 2020.

    Under the guidance of the WEF, the agenda of the Great Reset says that the completion of the current industrial transformation requires a thorough overhaul of the economy, politics, and society. Such a comprehensive transformation requires the alteration of human behavior, and thus “transhumanism” is part of the program.

    The Great Reset will be the theme of the fifty-first meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2021. Its agenda is the commitment to move the world economy toward “a more fair, sustainable and resilient future.” The program calls for “a new social contract” that is centered on racial equality, social justice, and the protection of nature. Climate change requires us “to decarbonize the economy” and to bring human thinking and behavior “into harmony with nature.” The aim is to build “more equal, inclusive and sustainable economies.” This new world order must be “urgently” implemented, the promotors of the WEF claim, and they point out that the pandemic “has laid bare the unsustainability of our system,” which lacks “social cohesion.”

    The WEF’s great reset project is social engineering at the highest level. Advocates of the reset contend that the UN failed to establish order in the world and could not advance forcefully its agenda of sustainable development—known as Agenda 2030—because of its bureaucratic, slow, and contradictory way of working. In contrast, the actions of the organizational committee of the World Economic Forum are swift and smart. When a consensus has been formed, it can be implemented by the global elite all over the world.

    Social Engineering
    The ideology of the World Economic Forum is neither left nor right, nor progressive or conservative, it is also not fascist or communist, but outright technocratic. As such, it includes many elements of earlier collectivist ideologies.

    In recent decades, the consensus has emerged at the annual Davos meetings that the world needs a revolution, and that reforms have taken too long. The members of the WEF envision a profound upheaval at short notice. The time span should be so brief that most people will hardly realize that a revolution is going on. The change must be so swift and dramatic that those who recognize that a revolution is happening do not have the time to mobilize against it.

    The basic idea of the Great Reset is the same principle that guided the radical transformations from the French to the Russian and Chinese Revolutions. It is the idea of constructivist rationalism incorporated in the state. But projects like the Great Reset leave unanswered the question of who rules the state. The state itself does not rule. It is an instrument of power. It is not the abstract state that decides, but the leaders of specific political parties and of certain social groups.

    Earlier totalitarian regimes needed mass executions and concentration camps to maintain their power. Now, with the help of new technologies, it is believed, dissenters can easily be identified and marginalized. The nonconformists will be silenced by disqualifying divergent opinions as morally despicable.

    The 2020 lockdowns possibly offer a preview of how this system works. The lockdown worked as if it had been orchestrated—and perhaps it was. As if following a single command, the leaders of big and small nations—and of different stages of economic development—implemented almost identical measures. Not only did many governments act in unison, they also applied these measures with little regard for the horrific consequences of a global lockdown.

    Months of economic stillstand have destroyed the economic basis of millions of families. Together with social distancing, the lockdown has produced a mass of people unable to care for themselves. First, governments destroyed the livelihood, then the politicians showed up as the savior. The demand for social assistance is no longer limited to specific groups, but has become a need of the masses.

    Once, war was the health of the state. Now it is fear of disease. What lies ahead is not the apparent coziness of a benevolent comprehensive welfare state with a guaranteed minimum income and healthcare and education for all. The lockdown and its consequences have brought a foretaste of what is to come: a permanent state of fear, strict behavioral control, massive loss of jobs, and growing dependence on the state.

    With the measures taken in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, a big step to reset the global economy has been made. Without popular resistance, the end of the pandemic will not mean the end of the lockdown and social distancing. At the moment, however, the opponents of the new world order of digital tyranny still have access to the media and platforms to dissent. Yet the time is running out. The perpetrators of the new world order have smelled blood. Declaring the coronavirus a pandemic has come in handy to promote the agenda of their Great Reset. Only massive opposition can slow down and finally stop the extension of the power grip of the tyrannical technocracy that is on the rise.

    SV: The Monster is here among us. And it’s not a slow zombie but one of the fast ones. If one Nation stand strong, it may bolster resistance in others. I’m still amazed that they had the power to do what they have done. In Russia? In Saudi Arabia? In Israel? So much so that they essentially cancelled the Haj or compulsory journey to Mecca? That’s extraordinary.

          @ Sredni

          Interesting points about Schacht, who was a big part of resist8ng the bankers. After WW2, he switched teams completely and went on to advise Indonesia on establishing the Indonesian Reserve Bank and then in the 1960s went on to become a big investor in palm oil plantations in Borneo.

          I have a very low opinion of that industry. It has removed tens of thousands of people from their traditional lands at gunpoint, using false documents, and turned the poor people into essentially landless, indentured agricultural labor. That is unacceptable. Unless of course Israel does it.

            I’ve started reading a Conspiracy Theorist named Joseph Farrell. He believers in the Nazi Internationale – that’s the Nazis knew they were gong to lose and prepared to survive after the war, securing their assets and playing the Allies and the Russians off against each other as to who got their top scientists and technological discoveries. As to whether they still believe in the Cause per se or any version of it, that he doesn’t say. By not saying he seems to indicate they are just another faction of the Global Elite at this point.

            Exhibit A perhaps being Prince Bernhardt of the Netherlands, a well known Nazi supporter and one of the main fathers of the Bilderberger Group.

            The Banking Vipers of Venice. Yes I know his work. Have you heard of Lyndon LaRouche? He used to publish a magazine called Fidelio. This was the pass word in “Eyes Wide Shut,” since he believes an ancient banking cabal survives to this very day and controls the world with money and military might. They were originally the Canaanites, were enslaved by the Romans, and when they became free, they settled in Venice. When Europe tired of their sordid and sinister affairs they took their wealth to Amsterdam, then London, then New York. They practice ritual magic and ritual human sacrifice, which is where they derive their power from. You need the ritual to attract demons, who then provide the users with inside info, the all seeing eye if you will. It is amazing to me this isn’t more widely known. Every ancient culture practiced human sacrifice. They must have had a reason. There are no demons in the Old Testament, but in the Book of Enoch there are giants who are killed in Noah’s flood and their souls become demons. This is where the idea of a human soul comes from, but it’s doubtful we have one. There isn’t enough life force in a piddly ole human being.

          • Sredni Vashtar August 5, 2020 at 7:01 pm #

            Yes, I’m finishing Babylon’s Banksters. So many of citizens of the City of Rome did not have Roman names towards the end. They had “Greek” names, but not really. Actually names from the Levant and Syria, areas ruled by the Greeks after Alexander’s conquest. So these people got their freedom and began to do what they did very well: Banking. And of course the Jews got in with them I suppose, maybe starting out as competitors.

            A guy named Tenney Franks took the names off the tombs. He’s known by White Nationalists as well. Augustus Caesar famously condemned the Roman Elite for their sterility. But the die had been case long before when they stopped giving Legionaires acreage in return for their service. So they settled where they had been stationed. That and the high taxes ruined the middle class.

          • SoftStarLight August 6, 2020 at 12:25 am #

            Demons actually are mentioned in the Old Testament.

            NKJV
            Leviticus 17:7 They shall no more offer their sacrifices to demons, after whom they have played the harlot. This shall be a statute forever for them throughout their generations.

            Deuteronomy 32:16-17 They provoked Him to jealousy with foreign gods; With abominations they provoked Him to anger. They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they did not know, to new gods, new arrivals that your fathers did not fear.

            The giants you mention are also mentioned in the Old Testament and are identified as descendants of the Nephilim. These are the same Nephilim that are written about in the Book of Enoch. And it is written that we do indeed have souls.

            Fewer people could mean less consumption. It could also mean less capacity to produce. It could also mean less demand and therefore – as Gail Tverberg explains – less affordable oil as it becomes increasingly less possible to cover the costs of production.

      Yeah! The fact that they were able to contain and cancel the biggest annual pilgrimage of the Muslim religion is breathtaking.

And remember, the Anti-Christ will be mortally wounded, and will be healed. And here we are, in he midst of a medical/health situation gripping the entire planet. Not saying covid would cause that wound but it’s interesting how this involves the whole world and the whole world will follow after the Anti-Christ too.

      • Sredni Vashtar August 5, 2020 at 1:13 pm #

        Glad somebody gets it. I didn’t imagine the world was this far united – this far gone!

        I don’t think so. These “Muslims” are part of the New World Order just like their “Christian” brethren. The real Sunni Muslims, like Bin Ladin, hated these people – and us – and we crushed them, at least for now. That’s not to say I approve of this version of Islam. I don’t, for a lot of reasons. Or that I have no problem with Islam per se – I do.

        • SoftStarLight August 6, 2020 at 12:58 am #

          I’m not sure i get it but the thing is these people have been consolidating their power for centuries and they have also infiltrated basically every country and every countries’ institutions. So at that level of things the world is very united. But at our level, the world is still apparently disunited, but now all of that is changing as they roll out these nakedly global mandates that could be the beginning of the reign of the Anti-Christ. But the Babylonian system has already been in place for a long time. But I understand what you are saying about the Muslims being conquered from within. It makes complete sense given that this is happening worldwide. What I meant to communicate is that I am shocked that even the more extreme fundamentalist Muslims, who are so dedicated, did not rise up more. But I guess I didn’t realize how much their societies have been changed by the globalists too. Like you, I certainly was not anticipating the widespread acceptance or resignation to this new order. But it isn’t yet all said and done either.

    • Kim August 5, 2020 at 3:37 am #

      The enormous size and tight organization of this plandemic rollout – especially the complete cooperation of governments, media and politicians – puts the final nail in the coffin of the idea that there is NOT a small clique of people now micro-managing global affairs.

        People can’t keep a secret, right? Remember that old chestnut? Regular people have trouble not spilling the beans to their peers, but even they aren’t tempted to tell all to bums on the streets – which is how the Elite see us. Beyond that, they are psychologically trained in these matters, and those that can’t be trusted don’t get invited to rise higher.

    Wow. Reading through news clips and apparently this was said by Oprah Winfrey:

    ‘“You still have your whiteness. That’s what the term ‘white privilege’ is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter,” she continued.’

    This obsessiveness with whiteness is getting tiresome, especially when combined with contractions in behaviour, i.e. ‘Black pride, but let me apply dangerous chemicals to my head to straighten my hair, everybody including Beyonce sporting long straight Blonde locks, and countries all over the world selling skin creams that supposedly lighten pigment.
    What white people do have is something called ‘variation’. I think this is really what is at the root of all the jealousy and hatred. White people can be blonde, red headed, brunette, all shades of hair colour, texture, curl. Eye colours of blue, green, brown, etc. It’s variation that other races don’t really have. Why beat up on us for this? Be happy with what nature gave you.

    • snagglepuss August 5, 2020 at 10:33 am #

      Damn, that was supposed to read ‘contradictions’.

    • JohnAZ August 5, 2020 at 11:14 am #

      Yeah

      And White people go to tanning booths or sit under the sun for hours, chancing cancer, to fire up their melatonin, to get dark skinned. Also, lots have dreadlocks and corn rowing. Tats and piercing, ???

      Why are people never satisfied with what they are? Explains a lot of the BS political discord too.

      • snagglepuss August 5, 2020 at 11:38 am #

        White people “tan’ NATURALLY in sunlight. Some like it to bring out other natural features, and yes some go too far and take risks with their health, though less so these days as the risks have become known.
        Dreadlocks are worn by very few white people, really only ‘fringe’ element people. As for “braiding”, nobody “owns” that. Or tats or piercing. Get real. Braids have been around since Christ was a Corporal and if you think you can “own’ the practice by naming them “corn rows” you demonstrate your lack of intelligence.

          White people and the White race are the pinnacle of diversity. White people prove that diversity is actually beautiful and makes us stronger. But just among us. We loose our diversity when we mix with the mono-coloreds. You begin to even wonder if we truly are the same as the dusky peoples, or if maybe we are a different sub-species altogether.

        • beantownbill. August 5, 2020 at 2:42 pm #

          I am (was) a blue-eyed blonde with light skin. I just don’t tan. If I stay in the sun for more than 10 minutes unprotected, I burn. If I then stay out like that, after a few days, my skin turns a reluctant reddish-brown, mostly red, and I start growing things on my skin that I remove at the dermatologist. I’m just a melanin-deprived person. I’m Jewish, tested 99% Ashkenazi. I’m not sure why I don’t tan. I definitely don’t appear Jewish as stereotypically described. Many, many times I have been described as a Hugh Hefner look-alike (yeah, I should have been so lucky).

          My point being, white people don’t necessarily tan naturally as you stated.

Add to that our higher IQ and achievements and the envy becomes pathological in both sexes. So a vast mythology has been created of how we stole their Knowledge in Ancient Egypt, etc. The most colorful version is that of the Nation of Islam. But the theft of knowledge part is taught in every major University in the Land as Gospel.

      Yesterday I walked past two brown individuals. One struck his hand with his fist for emphasis as he told other how as he was having sex with a women, he punched her in the face and her teeth came out. American Hispanics I think. English, no accent.

      Pretty ugly stuff. Yet many women are attracted to it in a general sense, hopefully not when they get a closer look. Hopefully they have the sense to run before it gets to this stage.

      In an African park, rangers were horrified to see rhinos (not Rinos, alas) being stomped to death. They have no natural enemies, so they were utterly puzzled. They put up cameras and saw that it was adolescent, male elephants chasing them and then knocking them down and crushing them to death. They found a mature bull and put him in with the herd. The adolescents stopped. They had a model of what a mature male elephant should be.

    The way to do it and the way it will be ultimately done is to refuse people access to public buildings if they don’t take it. Without a chip, dully updated for the current vaccination, you will set off an alarm when you go into a building.

    Think of how many lives will be saved! Think of how many security guard jobs created! Tracking for lost children! All your credit cards and license on the chip! INTERNET access! What kind of freak wouldn’t want to get chipped like a beast?

    They will put stem cells from aborted children in the vaccine so serious Christians can’t take it without denying their faith. They will revel with glee as their enemies die on the streets and under bridges.

    • beantownbill. August 5, 2020 at 2:56 pm #

      I think you’re going a little too far in your theorizing. In any event I will not be taking the vaccine, unless most every unvaccinated person starts getting the virus; then I might reconsider. I will not allow myself to be chipped, but I don’t believe it will ever come to that. I will say, however, you never really know.

    The white race is great. So happy to be a member of that race. We’ve contributed so much to the world. I think it is the very best race (guess in todays world that makes me a White Supremacist. Whatever. Who cares what anybody thinks.)

    White Privilege… Black Lives Matter… Diversity… Multi-Culturism… Racism… et al. All a bunch of nonsense. Who cares.

    You are what you are. You live in this world and it is the way it is.

    Nobody cares about your problems and grievances.

    Stop being a victim and make the best of your life.

    Lebanon. Used to be.

    Used to be a civilized outpost of France. Jews lived there under the freedom of Napoleonic laws and culture and the place was beautiful and prosperous. And then Jihadistani arrogance and Jew hatred gripped the country. The Jews left. Then the French stopped visiting. Then the Americans stopped visiting. The Saudi and the Syrian and the Iranian Jihadis ravaged the country. The Iranian Jihadis won and Hezbollah took over the country.

    Now the country is rocked from one disaster to another. The country is bankrupt. The currency is worthless. More than half the population is under the poverty line and unemployed. There are no utility services. The streets are overflowing with garbage. The hospitals don’t function. The Covid virus is running wild. Yesterday an ammonia storage explosion that could be heard in Cyprus destroyed the seaport and downtown Beirut. And country is on the brink of another Civil War ala Syria.

    God has a sense of humour, but karma does not.

    “I’m a good person…cause God don’t make no junk”

    Gentle reader;

    Remember that particular witticism on posters in the late ’70’s?

    I would suggest, however, that God DOES make junk. There are humans so twisted and demented, that, If I were given the moral agency, I would put them down as I would rabid dogs, lyme-carrying ticks and murder hornets.

    You might argue that it is the nurturing of the worthless that caused them to lose their humanity. Maybe some, but certainly not all. Some people are born predators…there is something missing that makes them less than human. They have no empathy. That babies are born with crooked backs portends babies born without the capacity for that which is required to be civilized.

      It’s all random DNA creation; I don’t think God interferes very much in human affairs. Apparently he thinks humans have to solve their own problems. Of course, every so often he acts in very, very large ways. But what do I know about that, really?

      If God exists, he would have to be far, far beyond human understanding.

      • SoftStarLight August 6, 2020 at 1:32 am #

        Why can’t God be simultaneously far, far beyond human understanding and totally within our realm of understanding?

        • JohnAZ August 6, 2020 at 10:22 am #

          Part of God is the scientifically discovered patterns of order. He is the Creator, who brings order out of chaos. His creations reverse the laws of thermodynamics. Every time a child of any species Is created, God smiles.

          When you wonder about the order of the universe, you are observing God at work. With every process of that order, sometimes unfortunately, statistics occurs. Distributions produce bad things at times. That is why I believe humanity is different than everything else as we have been giving the Godly gift of cognizance, intelligence, reasoning and spirituality.

          Is God at fault for blasting the coast with hurricanes? Or are the people who built frame houses there. Will God be blamed when Mt. Rainer follows natural law and blows its top, or will it be the supposedly intelligence people of Seattle.

          Natural laws. Studies of natural law, the supremacy of God’s relationship with humanity, was studied by many folks in the 1700’s, and John Locke’s interpretations are integral to the forming of this country.

          “Bean” inadvertent…too early, not enough coffee. I apologize.

          • beantownbill. August 6, 2020 at 11:02 am #

            Apology accepted. No big deal. Coffee supposedly takes around 2 hours to start affecting your system. If this is true, it’s laughable that one feels more alert immediately after drinking. The power of suggestion.

          • GreenAlba August 6, 2020 at 11:26 am #

            I read an article once that claimed to demonstrate that coffee doesn’t actually make people more alert at all. Apparently if you compare coffee drinkers to non-coffee drinkers, their performance is identical. It’s only when the coffee drinkers try to give up coffee that withdrawal symptoms start to kick in and make them feel less alert. They mistakenly assume this means the coffee was improving their performance. Same for tea but less so as it’s less strong. So when you’re feeling that two-hour slouch, it’s just your body getting over the withdrawal.

            I used to drink normal tea during the day at work and rooibos at night (when I didn’t want the caffeine to keep me awake). Once I stopped the normal tea altogether, when I started working freelance, I realised it made no difference at all in the long run.

            Just found the actual article:

            https://www.nature.com/articles/npp201071

            The Daily Mail took three years to catch up with the science, but I’m linking to it in preference to the Graun (who published their article punctually) to protect readers’ sensibilities. 🙂

            Alba,
            Well, my father told me decades ago that the US Army did studies on the efficiency of office workers, and found that there was an increase in productivity when coffee was available. THAT might be why the military provides coffee to its members, and in every office I have ever been in…at no charge.

            I notice a difference within 15 minutes of a morning cup…feel almost human.

          • GreenAlba August 7, 2020 at 8:49 am #

            Of course there was an increase in productivity, EF. If you deprive coffee drinkers of their top-up, they perform less well.

            So the coffee drinkers (most people) performed better because they got their fix. The non-coffee drinkers (a small minority) also performed well, because they didn’t need coffee anyway.

            Ergo, overall people performed better than if the coffee drinkers had been deprived of their coffee.

            That’s all the study is saying, and it doesn’t conflict with your story.

    Coronavirus idea

    New ideas. HVAC systems that are not maintained and cleaned regularly, which is probably most of them, are contributing a big part of the continuing new cases load. Add onto this that under rated systems do not push enough air around to keep concentrations of virus laden air from building up.

    How about this idea? Open up the outdoors facilities right now. Outdoor restaurants, outdoor everything as long as distancing is maintained as much as possible.

    To reopen any indoor facility, it must pass an inspection of its HVAC air circulation system. Correct air flow, clean condensation drains, Install proper filtration and ensure systems are cleaned frequently. If a facility cannot pass adequate clean air criteria, they do not open.

    Flint Michigan and lead, remember? It has been demonstrated that the virus Is in wastewater, to the point that outbreaks can be predicted by increases in the waste water. People pass viruses in stool. I notice absolutely no one has investigated whether the Covid can survive the wastewater treatments , especially in the big cities maybe, but even rural systems may be underfunded and susceptible.

    Two areas that have not even been investigated nearly enough. Why? Easy. It will cost the USA trillions in infrastructure to update all the equipment to”clean up “ our act.

      Microorganisms exist in uncountable quadrillions or quintillions. It is basically impossible to completely protect oneself by taking conscious action – but taking precautions can lower the odds you fall prey to them. What prevents us from being eradicated is our imperfect, but highly evolved 2 billion year old immune system. I think the average person has no idea how ubiquitous germs are. As an example, just in the last few days, some medical people had to say not to use gloves for protection because people don’t know how to wear them and take them off safely. I wonder about the native intelligence of humans.

      • SoftStarLight August 6, 2020 at 1:44 am #

        So essentially our immune system is like a mask so we are already “wearing” one. Looks like our immune system is our gloves too. I have heard many doctors say gloves and masks are more trouble than they are worth in many instances when worn and/or taken off improperly. The native? intelligence may simply be better tuned to the subconcious which thinks the gloves and masks are strange and unnecessary?

      • JohnAZ August 6, 2020 at 10:32 am #

        Picture a model that is a continuous cloud of “bugs” everywhere, in all directions. Now picture that there are voids of clean air moving around in the cloud. That is us, multicellular organisms that have figured out how to kill and remove bugs from those voids.

        An interesting sidebar. When God told Moses to build the Tabernacle, He created a void in the crud cloud. The materials the Tabernacle was made from, especially gold, kills the crud.

      • Bobby Brown August 6, 2020 at 11:59 am #

        Not true. It is the viral dosage that makes masks so effective. The immune system can handle small doses of the virus. It’s the difference between taking a shower and spraying some after shave on. It’s the dose, not whether it’s 100% impenetrable. Only an idiot thinks in absolutes.

      All natural viruses naturally “go away” to the extent that they evolve towards a less lethal “mean”. This is what eventually happened to the 1918 Spanish Flu, which is still with us today.

What if a bloke, just to get by and within the bizarre context of globalism, has to swear Oaths to multiple organizations, which make extreme conflicting demands upon him such that he has to always pretend depending upon the particular Authority that he is dealing with at any particular time? It’s like those Mainland Chinese Comm…nists who literally change their clothing and demeanor chameleon-like just before the plane lands in some European country.

    “ The legal proceedings brought to light a copy of the “constitution,” or rules, of the Jesuits, the Jansenists’ bitter enemies. This Jesuit document had been kept secret by the Vatican since the founding of the order. The revelation that Jesuit priests had to swear an oath of unconditional obedience to the pope allowed their opponents to portray them as potential subversives, whose first loyalty was not to the king and the laws of France, but to the Church.”

      A good rule of thumb is when presenting a problem, have a potential solution, or better yet a plan A and a plan B. Just bitching like you do is “crying wolf” and lo and behold after a while, no one listens. Many of your cohorts have been banned for useless diatribes.

        Oh that’s too easy. Biden will step in and immediately institute a national testing policy. He will also create a national corps of contact tracers so that once an infected person is identified, whomever he has come into contact with is identified and tested and either released or locked down. He will establish regulations requiring constant testing of nursing home workers. As part of the TAS at the airports, temperature testing will be added and anyone with a fever will immediately be tested. Masks will be mandatory in public. $100 fines if you’re in violation first time, $1,000 second time, and $10,000 third time. National leadership will achieve the national goal of opening up the economy once the virus is stamped down.

    To you folks that think the immune system is the only key to fighting the crud. Yes, in the end each individuals ability to fight depends on their immune response. Remember though that the primary way this bug kills is by having the immune system over react. Autopsies of Covid dead show chunks of organs eaten away by the attacks of the t-cells.

    Mitigation is the only way to get the crud back in the containment jar to that wildfire control will work. States having ten thousand folks a day getting the disease cannot control squat. People taking mitigation too lightly is what has caused the second surge in the southern states

    Do not poo poo the idea that the indoor environment could be the hidden factor that may be prolonging the epidemic. Legionnaire’s disease shocked the world when it was found to be spread by running A/C through a hotel with contaminated condensate.

    Until the “experts” can tell us where this crud resides to continue to infect tens of thousands of people, they are not done. Mitigation is stop gap. Until then though, keep your homes And cars clean and disinfected especially if unknowns such as other people visit. They are your only refuge. When outside your refuge, stay away from people. That means six feet and masks. When indoors, make like you are protecting yourself from the air, because you are. When returning home, wash hands, disinfect stuff brought in to keep the refuge intact.

    All you supermen who think that you are special and your immune systems are going to stop this crud, I hope you are right.

    BTW, if people had taken this seriously three months ago, the economy would be humming along right now with people self protecting. Dumb!

      John. A lot, millions, of ordinary non-super people have caught covid and their immune systems did do the job that they were supposed to do. The mitigation you are speaking of is needed for the most vulnerable people. Everyone else should basically go ahead and get the virus so we can reach herd immunity. Unfortunately, because people are so sold into this narrative you do realize you and others are setting a precedent to where we are never going to be able to live normally again. Every virus will now be used as an excuse to institute authoritarian measures. The economy would not be humming along no matter what happened three months ago because this has all been planned and they planned to tank the economy. This is all about the consolidation of the global power of the Elites you always rail against.

      • JohnAZ August 6, 2020 at 10:40 am #

        The problem here is how do you identify the most vulnerable people.

        Kids die from the crud, teenagers die, Middle Agers die, and oldsters die. If our science was so wonderful, screening should be done to stop the carnage of all groups. That includes ethnicity.

        Until a vaccine works, a big if, mitigation is the primary tool of prevention.

        If you want to root for an alternative, root for something that kills the virus in situ, any virus. The damned bugs are getting ahead of us. The future of humanity is precarious if a viricide is not created. Vaccines take too long to develop.

          This is my virus and general health protocol: I wear a mask when I go out; I wear gloves when I’m out and touching things in stores; I try to stay 6’ away from people (hard to do when there’s not enough space in a store aisle); always carry disinfectant with me; take off gloves just before I open and close car door; take off shoes downstairs after I come home so I don’t track anything into the house; sanitize food wrappers and containers; regularly sanitize doorknobs in house.

          Take multi-vitamin and mineral pills; fish oil pills; turmeric pills: extra vitamin D pills; extra vitamin C pills; extra vitamin B pills; probiotic pills; occasional zinc pills; eat plenty of protein – no red meat, chicken, pork or ham and shellfish; plenty of green veggies; 1 pint of organic-made ice cream per week for mental health and handling my sugar addiction, along with lactaid-type pill to handle dairy product; exercise daily – alternate days upper body and then lower body, including push ups, planks and crunches; stretching.

          There’s probably more, but I forget for now. All told, I have to spend about 1.5 hours per day for everything.

          Yes John, everybody dies. And no one knows exactly when they will die. The Uncertainty! It’s unbearable to you. But consider: It’s nothing new. You’ve been rolling the dice every time you stepped out of your house. Every time you drove onto the freeway. You just never thought about it before, not really. Not seriously. And that’s very strange for a Christian.

          How to identify? By the averages – just like an actuary does. It’s not an exact science. It’s the best we can do. You apply this to your own life – or those that you love – and it simply isn’t enough. And in your (generic) terror, you will take any answer from on high. They’ve got you – all because you can’t accept death and the uncertainty of life (a kind of death in itself). It’s not under our control, is it?

        SSL: “blah blah blah – conspiracy narrative – blah blah blah”

        But then there are the objective facts:

        “British doctor Jake Suett had only been treating severely sick coronavirus patients for a week in a hospital in the eastern English county of Norfolk before he, too, fell ill.

        That was back in March, just as the pandemic started to unfold in Britain.

        Now, more than three months later, he hasn’t been well enough to return to work and is suffering from what he terms “post-COVID syndrome.” The 31-year-old intensive care specialist, who was healthy and had no pre-existing health conditions before he became infected, still suffers from breathlessness, blurred vision and episodes of high temperature.

        Much of the public focus on the coronavirus, which causes the COVID-19 disease, has been on the death tally. In countries across the world, politicians and officials lament the daily death toll and are anxious to advertise how many of the infected have recovered. But the broad-brush announcements are masking a lot — Suett and other doctors say thousands will struggle to recover from the effects of the disease.

      • beantownbill. August 6, 2020 at 5:41 pm #

        An American acquaintance of mine has a daughter who emigrated to Israel a long time ago. She married there and now has four Israeli children. My friend and his wife travel to Israel several times a year. The wife told me once she had to go to a hospital in the Arab section for whatever reason. She said the difference between there and the Jewish hospitals was extremely different – much worse in the Arab section. She said she couldn’t wait to get out of there and back to the Jewish area.

        • akmofo August 6, 2020 at 7:17 pm #

          Hmm,.. Israeli hospitals are all pretty much the same everywhere in the country. I’ve been to 5 different ones both in the north in the center and in the south, there was no difference. They all have Arab nurses and doctors and other staff. A non Israeli hospital wouldn’t accept her because they use different insurance companies and they wouldn’t be able to bill her treatment.

          • beantownbill. August 6, 2020 at 10:34 pm #

            I don’t know how accurate her comment was. She is pretty anti-Arab, so maybe her prejudice colored her description.

    It looks like a real possibility there will a national election by mail-in ballots. No matter what anyone says, that will be a disaster for several reasons. A New York judge just ruled that non-postmarked mail-ins are valid, even if arrived two days after the election. Is this for real? I mean, if it turns out to be a close result, the losing side probably would flood the polling places to change the results after Election Day. So if it’s announced a candidate has won NY, the results can’t be final until At least 2 or 3 days after. If, say, 100,000 votes come in late, do you believe they will all be vetted properly?

    For that matter, do you also believe all of the mail-ins that come in on time will be vetted properly as well? This further validates my opinion that this coming election will be the most raucous in American history and will not be settled for a long time, if ever. I’m not an expert on the Constitution. What provisions are there for this?

    Actually, it makes no difference whoever wins because our society is going down the drainpipe either way. I fervently hope I’m wrong.

      BTB

      Sorry – this is a ‘wall of text’ taken from a daily e-mail I subscribe to, with no apparent link to a source, but it looks closely at a ‘war game’ exercise undertaken a couple of months ago (by an outfit called ‘Transition Integrity Project” or TIP) as to the possible scenarios post-November 3. Very interesting, and a reasonably quick read:

      “All of our scenarios ended in both street-level violence and political impasse,” says Rosa Brooks — a former Pentagon official who recently gathered about 80 of her fellow deep-state types to “war game” the outcome of the election.

      Having spent part of the last week sussing out some surprising election odds… and the implications of the election for your investments and taxes… we now twist the kaleidoscope and gaze into another possibility: That the election won’t resolve a damn thing.
      Maybe you already sense that. For our part we’ve been pondering the prospect of a new American civil war for three years now.

      But it seems vast numbers of your fellow Americans still don’t have a clue.

      “I don’t think it’s penetrated enough in the average viewer’s mind that there’s not going to be an election night,” says Brandon Finnigan, founder of Decision Desk HQ — which supplies election results to media outlets. “The usual razzmatazz of a panel sitting around discussing election results — that’s dead,” he tells New York Times media columnist Ben Smith.

      We’re looking at Election Week. Or Month. Or Months. And in Smith’s telling, even most of his own media colleagues still don’t have a clue.
      ”I spoke last week to executives, TV hosts and election analysts across leading American newsrooms, and I was struck by the blithe confidence among some top managers and hosts, who generally said they’ve handled complicated elections before and can do so again. And I was alarmed by the near panic among some of the people paying the closest attention — the analysts and producers trying, and often failing, to get answers from state election officials about how and when they will count the ballots and report results.”

      Even without “street-level violence and political impasse” — and we’ll get to that soon enough — this election promises to be a fiasco.
      We won’t dwell today on the pluses and minuses of mail-in balloting. We’ll simply point out that the pandemic is accelerating a trend already underway. According to the Census Bureau, only 60% of the votes cast during the 2018 midterms were cast in person on Election Day.

      In a few places like Arizona, county clerks and other folks responsible for tabulating votes have adjusted to this evolving new normal. But in most of these United States? Forget it — no way will all the votes be counted in one night.

      Not that voting the traditional way will be any picnic. Amid a full-on lockdown, Wisconsin pressed ahead with in-person voting for its presidential primary on April 7. Even with weeks to prepare — the schools were ordered closed on March 13 — it was, shall we say, an excrement exhibit.

      “Poll worker shortages led to hours-long waits for voters,” reported the Axios site. “Milwaukee voters, in particular, faced a decrease in precincts from 180 to just five after hordes of polling officials declined to participate.” The experience was made worse by the weather — it rained buckets that day.

      Even though the outcome wasn’t in doubt — Joe Biden already had the nomination sewn up at that point — it was decided well in advance that results wouldn’t be released for a whole week.

      So about that deep-state war game with literally no “good” outcome…
      It’s the handiwork of an outfit called the Transition Integrity Project — which conducted a meeting on June 12 that became public knowledge only weeks later.

      As The Boston Globe described it, “A group of political operatives, former government and military officials and academics quietly convened online for what became a disturbing exercise in the fragility of American democracy…

      “They played using the so-called Chatham House Rule — in which participants can discuss what was said, but not who was there.” The paper describes some of them as “a former swing state governor, a former White House chief of staff and a former head of the Department of Homeland Security.”

      They numbered nearly 80 total. The names of a few have since become public — more about that momentarily.

      As you might suspect, the participants are largely hostile to Donald Trump, and ascribe malign motives to him.

      As the organization itself states, “The Transition Integrity Project (TIP) was launched in late 2019 out of concern that the Trump administration may seek to manipulate, ignore, undermine or disrupt the 2020 presidential election and transition process.”

      The Globe article is less circumspect, describing the project’s origins emerging from a concern that “the military or the Secret Service would have to escort Trump out of office if he lost the election and would not concede.”

      Maybe that’s no surprise to you. You don’t have to look far to find #Resistance types spinning all sorts of dire storylines for Trump refusing to leave if he loses.

      But a funny thing happened on June 12 when the nearly 80 people who took part began spinning out four possible scenarios.
      In fact, the results of their little exercise were so unexpected that they worked extremely hard to “control the narrative” of how the results would come out in the press.

      The Boston Globe article, for instance, appeared last week. TIP’s report was not yet final, and the Globe did not lay out the four scenarios in any detail — except that under one of them, “a narrow Biden win ended with Trump refusing to leave the White House, burning government documents and having to be escorted out by the Secret Service.”

      Only this week did TIP issue its report With that, here are TIP’s four war-game scenarios in brief…

      1. Ambiguous result./b>At the start of the scenario, Florida, Michigan and North Carolina are tossups; even a 269-269 Electoral College tie is possible. At the end of the scenario, “There was no clear resolution of the conflict in the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress; the partisans on both sides were still claiming victory, leading to the problem of two claims to commander-in-chief power (including access to the nuclear codes) at noon on Jan. 20”

      2. Clear Biden victory. At the start of the scenario, Biden wins both the popular vote and Electoral College… but Team Trump alleges widespread fraud. The scenario ends with Trump pardoning his own family members on his way out — along with Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton. (Hmmm…) Trump launches his own TV network with an eye toward a 2024 run, either by himself or Donald Jr.

      3. Clear Trump win. At the start of this scenario, Trump wins the Electoral College comfortably… but Biden wins the popular vote by five percentage points. In other words, something akin to 2016. We’ll come back to this one…

      4. Narrow Biden win. At the start of this scenario, Biden squeaks out a 1% margin in the popular vote and 278 electoral votes… but Trump does not concede. The scenario ends with the Joint Chiefs of Staff leaking threats to resign if Trump doesn’t depart the White House; “the military made it clear that it was ready to support Biden as the newly inaugurated president on Jan. 20.”

      It’s Scenario No. 3 that perhaps surprised even the deep-state participants in this exercise. No wonder they slow-rolled the release of their report.

      The names of a handful of people who took part are now public. Some you wouldn’t recognize. Two of the most prominent are Never-Trumpers who made their names in punditry supporting the Iraq War — Bill Kristol and Max Boot.

      But get this: Playing the part of Joe Biden in the exercise was none other than John Podesta — Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign chairman.

      And under Scenario No. 3, Podesta does not allow a repeat of 2016. Despite a Trump victory in the Electoral College, the Democrat does not concede this time.

      “The game play ended in a constitutional crisis,” says the TIP report.
      Podesta-as-Biden alleges voter suppression. He persuades the Democratic governors of Michigan and Wisconsin to send their own slate of electors to the Electoral College, to counter the electors sent by those states’ Republican legislatures.

      Then Podesta-as-Biden encourages California, Oregon and Washington to threaten secession unless congressional Republicans agree to a series of majority-rule “reforms” — granting statehood to the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, dividing California into five states to boost its representation in the Senate and abolishing the Electoral College.

      “One of the most consequential moves was that Team Biden on Jan. 6 provoked a breakdown in the joint session of Congress by getting the House of Representatives to agree to award the presidency to Biden (based on the alternative pro-Biden submissions sent by pro-Biden governors). [Vice President] Pence and the GOP refused to accept this, declaring instead that Trump was reelected under the Constitution because of his Electoral College victory.

      “This partisan division remained unresolved because neither side backed down, and Jan. 20 arrived without a single president-elect entitled to be commander in chief after noon that day.
      “It was unclear what the military would do in this situation.”

      Again, all four scenarios entail “street-level violence and political impasse”… two of them end with the election outcome still up in the air on Inauguration Day… and perhaps the most likely one ends with the military mulling whose side to take. Good times.

      So that’s what the deep-state types are anticipating. Best you do likewise, we daresay.

      • Sredni Vashtar August 6, 2020 at 6:55 pm #

        The answer is to hold regular elections – and crush any violence that occurs at the polling booths or after the results. Needless to say, it will be almost exclusively from the Communists and Anarchists. They can be dealt with as long as sentiment and politics are kept out of it.

        You don’t like this, I know. But you don’t like a lot of good things. And in turn, you like a lot of bad things.

        • Majella August 6, 2020 at 7:59 pm #

          There you go, Skorenzy, once again telling me what I like and what I don’t like. As if you’d have a clue…

          Aside from your usual arrogant arseholery, there’s a problem with what you suggest:

          1. ‘hold regular elections’. the USA has more elections than ANY other sovereign jurisdiction on the planet. I assume you mean ‘regular’ as in ‘frequent’. There’s also the other shade of meaning ‘regular’ as in ‘trustworthy’. There’s the nub of the problem when we have one nominee who’s been talking about elections being ‘rigged’ since 2015 and is really turning the heat up now. (Aside – what would be the reaction if he wins outright – will THAT be a ‘rigged’ result according to Donny DoLittle?)

          2. “…almost exclusively from the Communists and Anarchists.”

          Oh, right. Of course. These ‘demonic’ non-Republican voters and those who cannot ‘hold their nose’ this time around will be vilified and smeared as if they were ALL Che Guevara’s spawn. What alarmist tosh. Ask virtually any South American citizen who they fear most when elections go the way of socialist-style parties – it’s the CIA & the USA Inc, generally, who fund & encourage ‘popular’ right-wing uprisings, spewing chaos and misery.

          So, as far as you’re concerned, right-wing populism is patriotic while left-wing populism is anarchistic & communistic. It’s clearly all a matter of perspective. Pity yours is so one-eyed and wrong.

      • Kim August 6, 2020 at 9:20 pm #

        @ Majella

        There are lots of sources for this material. Here is one:

        https://www.newsweek.com/bipartisan-group-predicts-violence-if-trump-loses-election-refuses-leave-white-house-1520561

        Note the typically even-handed Newsweek framing of the report as being from a “bi-partisan group” {of foaming-at-the-mouth anti-Trumpers} and refers to an (absurd) situation wherein “if Trump [illegally one presumes] refuses to leave office”

        “All of our scenarios ended in both street-level violence and political impasse,” said Rosa Brooks, a professor of law and policy at Georgetown University, and a former Defense Department official who helped organize the group, told the Globe. “The law is essentially … it’s almost helpless against a president who’s willing to ignore it,” she said.

        So once again, there’s that even-handed and objective mainstream media commentary.

        In the piece you posted, Majella, we see this:

        “Again, all four scenarios entail “street-level violence and political impasse”… two of them end with the election outcome still up in the air on Inauguration Day… and perhaps the most likely one ends with the military mulling whose side to take.”

        Remarkably, this seditious call – masked as mere opinion – of Rosa Brooks’ is nothing new, Majella. She has been bruiting around this coup talk since as far as back as in 2017 the first week of Trump’s presidency.

        So it is a very old Deep State marching song. Note the date on what follows.

        at https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/feb/2/rosa-brooks-obama-pentagon-official-says-anti-trum/

        A former Defense Department official under the Obama administration has raised the specter of a military coup to remove President Donald Trump from power.

        In an editorial penned for Foreign Policy, senior Pentagon policy official Rosa Brooks publicly suggested a military insurrection against the Trump administration may be the only option to oust one of the most divisive presidents in American history.

        “Donald Trump’s first week as president has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared,” Ms. Brooks wrote. “[One] possibility is one that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America: a military coup, or at least a refusal by military leaders to obey certain orders.”

        So this report is stale old, recycled agitprop.

        But that does not mean it should not be taken seriously. The Democrats really do want to overthrow the State.

        Majella concludes:

        “So that’s what the deep-state types are anticipating. Best you do likewise, we daresay. ”

        Majella uses the word “anticipating” but – as already noted – this is in fact a very old plan and it would be more accurate to say that this projected violence and civil disorder is what these people are, once again, promoting or encouraging or fomenting.

        The use of “anticipating” is like the Mafia’s notion of anticipation when they remark to a shop-owner what a nice business he has, and what a shame it would be if something happened it.

        In other words, this report is yet another use of the MSM propaganda bullhorn by the Democrats to make pomote a mood of fear, uncertainty and hysteria ahead of the elections and to make criminal threats against the broad electorates. This is a form of election intimidation, an attempt to deny electors their civil rights, and a call to treason.

        I hope that Majella will join me in condemning it.

          Hey, Kim.

          It was ALL quoted form an email, written by an investment newsletter service (so if anything, right-leaning by habit). So, don’t quote anything there as being said by ME, after the first ” “.

          I did not post this with any particular agenda in mind – simply to provoke discussion. What I’m getting from your response is the boilerplate CT NJ response, that “everyone’s been out to get President Dipstick since Day One”. Well, not ‘everyone’.

          You said:

This is a form of election intimidation, an attempt to deny electors their civil rights, and a call to treason.

          As usual, you warp the position with “in other words” which translates to “I’ll just put MY spin on this now”, set up a Straw Man and knock it over. Oldest trick in the book (*yawn*) while the completely MISS the actual fact that the exact same accusation can credibly be leveled at the trump Campaign, in fact since mid-2015 and continuing to this day – most recently and daily still ramping it up with fear-mongering about mail-in voting. What a crock.

          I was more interested (and responded to) Skorenzy’s reply. which went immediately to the perspective that ANYONE who disagrees with his viewpoint or is not a dyed-in-the-wool Trumpista is a demonic commie and an anarchist.

          Catastrophising more than just a little, wouldn’t you agree? Oh, no…sorry. Dumb question of someone who believes Michelle Obama is a bloke with fully-formed ‘junk’ that she can ‘see’. Bah.

            “Donald Trump’s first week as president has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared,” – Rosa Brooks

            Do you even still REMEMBER the first week? That was all about the size of his crowd at the Inauguration, that it ‘didn’t rain’ on him (too bad for everyone else), about his demented dystopian speech describing the US as a dark & ugly place (a ‘shithole’ to put it bluntly), and a host of other bizarre things.

            All long forgotten now, though, because every week – indeed, practically every DAY – he says & does something ELSE that proves he is a crazy and unqualified. It’s exhausting.

          The writer talks about The Deep State and accuses the left of dishonesty, and that the whole war game exercise was run by Never Trumpers. This is NOT my position. In fact, it should it reflects YOUR views way more than mine.

          So, I am “dishonest” in stating that all I sought was to provoke discussion about the various potential outcomes of the looming election? I suggest you go back and actually READ it. You know, with ‘comprehension (though President Chart-Carrier’s comprehension ability is no doubt your envy.

          Funny that you didn’t actually address the most pertinent point in it -Scenario 3, which is the potential course of events by the DNC if your Co-Conspirator-Chief wins. I thought that the most outrageous projection, and one you might agree with. But, no, you tried instead to put Rosa Brooks words in my mouth, you charlatan fake.

        Thanks for the easy-to-read article. Very interesting, if not surprising to,me. Seems like it validated the basic theme in my comment above, but provided more details via specific scenarios. Shit! I was hoping someone would refute my opinion.

        Anyway, this means we’re very likely fucked. The stock markets will tank,for sure. My issue is – and probably millions of other persons’, too – is what to do with the assets I now have. Last November or so I cashed out and now am sitting with paper assets, which I hate. Actually, I do know what to do with them, I just don’t know how to apportion them yet. I better get on the stick with this.

        I know people get mad at you and tell you to go home, but in all honestly, with no malice on my part, maybe you should consider going back temporarily around election time and then come back here when (if) things settle down. I wish I had the opportunity myself, but I don’t, so I’ll stay here and be in the front lines, so to speak.

      I just heard an announcement that a Chicxulub Spider ship has been spotted circling around Uranus. I’m afraid you have to bend over and examine your butt to see if it has been Bitten and infected, as it’s highly contagious. If so, you’re going to have to wear a mask over it.

    A quick poll of the board, please:

    Who hereabouts is of the opinion (as expressed by Kim upthread) that Michelle Obama is actually a male?

    Of course, around that are a whole bunch of other issues – whether s/he still has ‘junk’, whether Barack is a gay guy and where they got their children from (which splits off into another whole branch of questions as to whether they were kidnapped, trafficked, are subjected to brutal peadophilia by their ‘parents”…and so on…[exhausting]), so…

    …this question DOESN’T go there. Just the simple question and a YES or NO answer. (Embellish if you wish to, but no substantive argument is required):

    “Is Michelle Obama a man?”

    • beantownbill. August 6, 2020 at 11:18 pm #

      No.

      • Majella August 7, 2020 at 5:04 am #

        Thanks, Bill. I suspect you’re going to feel quite lonely!

          I think a more relevant question is does Donald Trump use a butt plug on a daily basis. Judging by the way he walks I would have to say yes.

          • benr August 7, 2020 at 9:17 am #

            With your fascination about the subject I am very sure you would one like to help him with it if he does not and two wear the largest one available.
            Seriously you are one disturbed clown.

          • Bobby Brown August 7, 2020 at 9:34 am #

            This from someone who thinks the president of the United States is married to a tranny. Look in the mirror pal.

            @booby brown

            Listen up doodle brown I never said Michelle was a man I said she is more masculine than her husband I know its subtle and possibly to subtle for a simpleton such as yourself but there it is.
            I also pointed out Barry also called her michael on more than one occasion and then proved such.

            Personally couldn’t careless if Michelle was a man and had a schlong that hung down to her knee how ever I am sure that image has you drooling all over yourself.
            You just can’t make mental insanity like your on display for all to see.
            You should take your own advice and just shut up you look like a fool.

    • Kim August 6, 2020 at 11:46 pm #

      Newsflash!

      Majella publicly poses the question, “Is Michelle Obama a man?”!

      I never thought I would see the day when someone of Majella’s stature would publicly call Michelle Obama’s feminity into question.

      I must admit I am surprised. On the other, hand, I am sure she has her reasons.

      • Majella August 7, 2020 at 4:47 am #

        Talk about dishonesty! Your gobbing whole cakes, right there.

        You’ve already posted your lunatic opinion, Kim. No need to answer it again, but I thought you would, IF you have any faith in your conviction. Obviously not. What a two-faced loser.

        • Kim August 7, 2020 at 6:07 am #

          This issue can only be settled to everyone’s satisfaction if Michelle posts the results of a properly supervised DNA test.

          She should do that at her earliest convenience and put the whole matter to rest.

          • GreenAlba August 7, 2020 at 7:46 am #

            She should do that? Really? She should submit to the will of total, utter fruit loops?

            Because YOU’d do that, wouldn’t you, if a bunch of deluded dingbats said you should? You’d let your mother do it, wouldn’t you?

            The arrogance is off the charts. The problem is yours. You need to deal with it.

            Try keeping off the danker, more desperate corners of the internet. It’s probably where you get your porn obsession too, which you project at every opportunity.

          • GreenAlba August 7, 2020 at 9:03 am #

            Hold the front page: Kim thinks people should not get vaccinated to help prevent deaths because they will inevitably get chipped.

            But a private citizen s/he doesn’t like should submit to an intrusive and outrageous DNA test because the Twatosphere demands it.

            You couldn’t make this shit up.

          • Majella August 7, 2020 at 7:01 pm #

            The question was intended to discover who hereabouts believes MO is a male, not to determine whether or not she is. It’s absurd .

            I note you haven’t doubled down, L’il Kimmy – so, do you STILL claim Michelle is a fully-equipped male human, or not? Or has having to THINK about the question given you some self-awareness and a sudden realisation that is utter insanity?

  97. SoftStarLight August 7, 2020 at 1:08 am #

    And then there is the whole virus self righteousness thing which is really tiresome and boring to be honest with you. Of course its horrible when someone suffers long term complications from an illness. Who wouldn’t agree? And thus the reason the whole issue is brought up and insinuated into the conversation. To paint the person who doesn’t agree with the virus restrictions as someone who callously ignores that people are suffering from the virus. Well, your sanctimonious pronounciations don’t hold much weight if you’re not going to advocate as well for the millions of people who are suffering from long term health complications brought about by the lockdown and restrictions. And I fail to recall past posts about the dire annual rates of death caused by heart disease and cancer and the government induced restrictions needed to control those crisis proportion situations. I guess that just kinda shows this whole corona thing is opportunistic for many people on many levels. It’s a real shame such opportunistic virtue signaling is so ubiquitous even in the midst of a pandemic. And corona deniers are evil, debased people participating in illicit covid parties. I mean really, who is the backwards one here? So over it!

    It’s sad how the issue of child trafficking is so quickly swept aside being such an egregious plague destroying countless lives of innocent boys and girls. But that aside. Whether or not Michelle Obama is a man? Who really cares at this point in time. Whoever Michelle Obama is, she/he/zhe/zher/they, we do know that Michelle Obama is a member of that class of people who can do whatever she/he/zhe/zher/they wants to do, literally, and get away with it. Anything is possible nowadays so why do you feel so strongly that anyone with that thought or question is an automatic RWNJ? Because that is your safe space. You are the one who is a flake. If you weren’t just trolling then maybe your own thought experiment will begin to open your mind. I don’t have a lot of hope for that but a speck is all that is needed.

    • Majella August 7, 2020 at 5:01 am #

      Dodging the question. I take that as a “yes”.

      The rest of your rant is entirely contradictory with your own statement that everybody should just get over it and get infected in the hope of herd immunity.

      As to ongoing issues about other diseases – most of the blame lies with the entirely fucked-up US medical ‘system’. In other countries (like mine for example) EVERYONE gets the treatment they need and don’t lose their house because of the cost.

      Aside from that, you don’t ‘catch’ heart disease or cancer from someone else (as you well know), so you can drop that bullshit right away.

      Also, please elucidate on the ‘government induced restrictions’ to prevent the crisis proportions of these two diseases? You’re just making shit up.

      And finally, who says issues like child trafficking is ‘swept aside’ besides you? Who’s virtue-signalling now, huh? As a “safe space” this comments roll has become ideal for the RWNJs, of which you are clearly one. It’s hardly a safe space for me. I have shreds torn off me daily in here. It pisses some people off that your cosy “echo chamber” has to endure a voice that repeatedly points out that there’s madness hereabouts. Too bad.

      • Kim August 7, 2020 at 6:03 am #

        You get shreds torn off you because you are not able to make a coherent argument in your own defense.

        Learn to argue better. Get more informed. Don’t make statements and claims of knowledge about topics that you know nothing about.

        For godsake, you have made (false) claims of knowledge here for things that you could have checked in a sixty second google search, but you didn’t bother to. So it got thrown back in your face. That is your fault. Where did you go to school? What sort of education have you had? That is just lazy.

        Or you could just develop better opinions and when you do get schooled learn to admit it – and maybe even, god forbid, change your mind.

        A boxer with no defenses has no place complaining that his opponent is hitting him.

        • GreenAlba August 7, 2020 at 7:20 am #

          “For godsake, you have made (false) claims of knowledge here for things that you could have checked in a sixty second google search, but you didn’t bother to. ”

          You said that already.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treblinka_trials

          If only I could laugh. But it’s not funny. It’s disgusting.

          You are way, way beyond Janos when it comes to downright lying evil.

          Spitting on the graves of the murdered for your ideological ends.

          I wish Mr Kunstler would not give you the oxygen of publicity. You hardly deserve the oxygen of oxygen.

          • Kim August 7, 2020 at 9:11 am #

            You have placed a link in your comment. I went to the link and read it. I still do not understand what the link is supposed to prove.

            I refer you back to my earlier comment on this topic where I referred to the special rules applying at the Nuremberg trials, specifically:

            1) the suspension of the normal courtroom rules of evidence (i.e., they did not apply)

            2) the assumption of “common knowledge” – that is, it was assumed that the crimes occurred. There was no need to prove that such crimes occurred.

            Normally, in say a homicide or murder trial, the first step for a prosecution is to prove that a human being has died or been killed unlawfully. The trial cannot proceed without such a proof.

            Oddly, such a procedure was deemed unnecessary for Nuremberg.

            In other words, Nuremberg was a thoroughly corrupt kangaroo court.

            A further – and fatal – disqualification from legitimacy of any war crimes trials in Germany was permanently enshrined the Wunsiedel decision (of the German Supreme Court) under which attorneys for the defense who present factual evidence for the defense drink from a posioned chalice, as the law makes them thereby liable for prosecution under the Holocauist denial laws.

            Thus, any defense was made practically-speaking impossible.

            You do understand what I am saying/demonstrating here, don’t you?

            I will state it – again – as clearly as I can for you.

            There has never at any time been any kind of fair, impartial or even legally recognizable examination of the facts of the so-called holocaust in any forensic forum worthy of the name.

            Never. It has not happened.

            And with regard to Treblinka itself, the claim that the remains of 875,000 jews are buried in an area at Trebllinka no larger than that of a standard fotball field…well, let’s just say that for seventy years every resistance to testing that claim has been made.

            And to think that all that has to be done is that we should operate a ground-penetrating radar – well known to archaeologists – here and there randomly in a few places on that small territory and the whole matter would be settled inside an hour at most. My mouth, and the mouths of those like me, could in this way be stopped forever.

            I wonder why they won’t do it?

          • GreenAlba August 7, 2020 at 11:40 am #

            The bodies were removed and burned in funeral pyres, as per the testimony of the SS who were employed there to murder the Jews. The place was cleared out in 1943 – everything removed, all evidence destroyed.

            Why don’t you ask yourself WHY you want to believe the shit you believe? That’s far more interesting.

          • GreenAlba August 7, 2020 at 11:43 am #

            I’ve just bought Deborah Lipstadt’s book in your honour. I’ll be thinking of you every page.

        • Majella August 7, 2020 at 7:03 pm #

          L’il Kimmy – that’s rich. Take your own advice, you self-righteous twat.

      • benr August 7, 2020 at 9:34 am #

        @mjella

        Are you so sure you can’t catch either?

        I can prove you wrong on some level to both points.

        Father in Law caught a scarlet fever that damaged one of his heart valves all because he refused to stay in bed as a kid it eventually killed him. So heart disease cause caught…check.

        https://www.myocarditisfoundation.org/research-and-grants/faqs/causes-of-myocarditis/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkajWnJeJ6wIVaz6tBh3CbQMOEAAYASAAEgLSkPD_BwE

        As far as can’t catch cancer then why are the PUSHING vaccinating so many against HPV? So cancer caught…check

        Grandma did not smoke a day in her life yet she got lung cancer which also metastasized into breast cancer from all the idiots that smoked around her. Caught the cancer from second hand smoke.

        Once again maj you don’t have a clue about what you post on…check.

        Again you are whining about something in the US got to tell you go back from whence you slithered out of.
        People are mad because all you do is complain about the US and you were not born here so leave you have a choice.
        Most of the shit you whine about we are fine with and don’t want your version of how to live.

        MAj wrong again ad nauseum.

        • Majella August 7, 2020 at 7:13 pm #

          No, benr. Not ‘wrong again ad nauseum’.

          You don’t ‘catch’ heart disease from being with, for 15-30 minutes, someone who has it. That’s not the same as having a previous condition that weakens the heart so that a condition develops later.

          Likewise, you don’t catch cancer from someone with cancer. If you contract HPV, you get it from someone else who has HPV. A measurable proportion of HPV carriers go on to develop a specific cancer, but not all.

          Likewise your grandma, bless her, didn’t ‘catch’ cancer from another cancer sufferer.

          Sorry your healthcare system is a head-scratching joke to the rest of the civilised world, too, benr, and that it frustrates you so much when it needs to be mentioned (yet again, on context).

    Yes, a glimpse into November and a glimpse into Gethsemane. Dare only a glimpse, lest some gorgon turn you to stone. We move towards the time of the Scorpion and wait for its sting, knowing that the gravy train days are over.

    Cassandra will have spoken, and All Soul’s Day and Dia de los Muertos will welcome us with open graves, caskets, and crematoria.
    As these days pass, and if you have not yet ‘shuffled off the mortal coil’, a great feast awaits you.

    https://heavy.com/news/2020/08/watch-joe-biden-cognitive-test-junkie-interview/

    Biden weirds us all out yet again.

    Watching this short video, we see that there are two problems with Biden’s performance.

    First, the Biden question to the interviewer “are you a junkie?” is a pretty good sign of cognitive decline because Alzheimer’s is a condition that is often accompanied by short temperedness and an inability to speak appropriately for the occasion. Biden has both of those problems in spades here.

    The second issue is one of Biden’s memory. Observe that he
    was trying to suggest with his dismissive “rhino/elephant” comment in the interview that Trump had somehow mistaken those two animals in a cognitive test.

    But Biden’s memory of that was wrong. It was in fact tv host Don Lemon who made that mistake.

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12215820/cnn-host-don-lemon-cognitive-test/

    Are the Democrats truly serious in wheeling out this mid-stage dementia nursing home patient as their Presidential candidate?

    Lord help us all.

    • benr August 7, 2020 at 8:58 am #

      They are and they are also attempting to use mail in ballots to stuff the ballot box.
      I work with a seriously unhinged Democrat supporter who confided in me yesterday her fear that Trump was going to cheat by taking over the post office and making them throw the ballots all away. Or some such fingernails across the chalk board talking point she heard.
      The same women who only votes on abortion rights but in the 15 years I have known her has complained she can’t find a man for even a one night stand. I have commented not talking about politics or her deep hate for Christians might be the cause and of course she got very angry.
      She was also out sick for two weeks after Trump one and went through some pretty serious depression afterwards. Yep she is on heavy doses of some type of SSRI.

      She seems to be a pretty standard Democrat these days.

      https://www.oann.com/acting-dhs-secy-wolf-testifies-to-senate-panel-on-protest-deployment/

      Take the above news story!
      How is this even open for discussion Federal law enforcement should be protecting federal property no ifs and or buts.
      Local cops should be protecting peoples private property and if not then its up to the owners to pull a gun and do so.
      The gift of Obamas fundamental change to America is the insanity we are watching unfold where peoples private property and their very own bodies can be attacked for supporting the wrong political party or person!

      Folks this crap has to end and end now.
