      So many calamities, quandaries, and mysteries swirl in the zeitgeist these days that life in the USA feels like swimming against a rising tide of poisoned guacamole. Nothing has been able to stop that green spewage from the political Left, especially as it desecrates our very language to turn everything up, down, and everything inside, outside. You end up drowning the consensus about reality under the muck. Now, finally, there are political forces gathering to oppose all this deliberate malice and deceit and they will need something like a fire-hose to clean the joint up.

     The outstanding feature of this political illness has been the utter lack of accountability for gross insults against the public interest — that is, things that really matter. As Congresswoman Ilhan Omar once put it so obliquely, “some people did some things.” Yes, people are at the bottom of all this mischief against the country and none of them have had to answer for any of it yet. Will it matter if they do? It may not correct all the disasters of recent past years, but it may prevent more disasters ahead as the nation struggles with epic changes to the business model for running everything in this land. Some people will have to do a lot of things to straighten out our agenda.

     Everyone is aware by now that the new Congress is assembling several committees to attempt just that. One is the aptly-named panel on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. That’s an excellent name for it because the officials running the engines of state have carried out a war against the people. It is, after all, supposed to be a government of, by, and for the people, not a government against the people. Where to even start?

     Former US attorney and chief-of-staff to the SecDef, Kash Patel, had a good idea: start with the latest insult to the country. Haul in the newly-appointed special counsel assigned to the “Joe Biden” purloined document scandal. His name is Robert Hur. He was a top aide to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at the height of RussiaGate, and liaison to the Robert Mueller operation. Mr. Hur participated in filing falsified warrants based on Steele Dossier nonsense to the FISA court. He should have been accountable for that. He’s not fit to serve as any sort of legal arbiter in a national scandal. He was not appointed to shed any light on the issue, but to bury it under a load of procedural horse-shit, in particular, the dodge that questions about “ongoing investigations” can’t be answered. Let’s disarm that weapon from the get-go. And why not appoint Mr. Patel chief counsel to the Weaponization of Government Committee?

     Another person who must answer right away is CDC Director Rochelle Walensky because her agency is still aggressively pushing mRNA shots strongly implicated in causing injury and death among the American people. There are no more obvious weapons against the people than these deadly products retailed by Pfizer and Moderna. The government’s “vaccination” crusade has to stop ASAP. Not one more dose of the stuff should be given to anybody. An audit needs to be run on the CDC’s data base to determine exactly how it was manipulated to hide the facts about “vaccine” injuries and deaths.

      The public should also hear why Ms. Walensky’s CDC promoted “incentive payments” to hospitals for each patient who died testing positive for Covid-19 (not necessarily from Covid-19). The payments per patient ranged wildly, state by state from $18,000 (NJ) to a whopping $471,000 (WVa). Why was that? The payments amounted to a bonanza for hospital administrators, who were incentivized not only to misattribute cause-of-death — the proverbial motorcycle crash victim who tests positive — but to let people die on ventilators.

The Weaponization of Government Committee might also subpoena FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf and his two predecessors during the Covid-19 event, Janet Woodcock and Stephen Hahn. The country needs to hear what they knew about the operation that produced the “vaccines” with such astonishing speed — as if these products were somehow in development before Covid-19 even appeared on the scene. They also need to answer about the shenanigans behind the following: the fudged and expedited “vaccine” trials; the demonization and virtual outlawing of existing safe and effective FDA-approved drugs for early treatment, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and other meds; the promotion of toxic remdesivir as a primary therapy for C-19; and the initiation and extension (for three years) of an emergency use authorization that shielded the drug companies from liability while injuries and deaths mounted.

     Obviously, there are many other channels of inquiry waiting to be explored in the government’s war against the people, especially the lingering questions about election interference and the official censorship of news. The excellent writer who goes by Sundance at The Last Refuge website made some capital suggestions for going forward with these inquiries: one is to rely primarily on witness testimony rather than on documents that federal officials will surely do everything possible to hide. Don’t turn this into a futile battle over the docs. Let’s just hear what the people-in-charge have to say. Secondly — and this may be hard for many angry, injured people to swallow — immunize witnesses against prosecution, to give them no incentive to hide what they know, what actions they carried out, and who told them to do it. Give them this immunity, Sundance wrote, in the interest of maximum transparency — because punishment of these characters is less important than showing the people of this country how far off the rails we have gone, and how to get back on. It may not be optimally satisfying, but it’s an argument worth pondering.

    Clearly it is a good sign that someone with supposed power is looking into what has been going down now and perhaps there may be some ‘splainin that comes out sooner or later. Perhaps I have grown too cynical in my old age or have just gotten too used to be lied to and ignored the truth by our appointed “leaders, bur until something of real value happens, the only signs that I will continue to have faith in are those that read “Slippery When Wet”, and “Danerous Road Ahead”.

    • Islander January 16, 2023 at 10:04 am #

      Walter B:
      I am sure you don’t think of yourself as a troll, but you act like one.

      Always first off the draw with a negative message that undermines what our host has just written.

      Why don’t you stop it.

      Find some other way to fill the trollish need you seem to have.

      • MaryQueen January 16, 2023 at 10:14 am #

        Disagreeing is not trolling. I find value in WalterB’s posts, especially given his tenure in government and experience therein.

        • Disaffected January 16, 2023 at 10:23 am #

          Likewise! Walter’s just speaking his truth, which I tend to agree with much of the time as well.

      • Walter B January 16, 2023 at 10:18 am #

        It is a wakeup call not a troll, do not be so sensitive. Jim’s blog is very important to me and what he brings to us is valuable information that very few other outlets put out. He does his part, and we have to do ours. Sitting around the campfire singing Cumbia will not get anything accomplished. When things are going well, you can have all the fun and games you care to play. When things are going bad, we have to get off of our butts and DO something in our own small circles of influence. One if by land and two if by see. Do something, please!

        • teddyboy46 January 16, 2023 at 10:33 am #

          Well, Walter B has picked up a Social Media Manager.

          This is an operative of a government agency that has been assigned to monitor JHKs blog and Troll anyone speaking the truth.

          Walter B must have struck a nerve. Good Work.

          • Walter B January 16, 2023 at 10:45 am #

            You should have seen that slamming the crap out of me on Farcebook while I was in office and not only pointing out the corruption, but actually righting some of the wrongs and getting our township out of debt.

            A former mayor had to take down the commercial building he put up without any permitting or tax increases, the planning board chairman who was outed for building his new house without a CO or any taxation for 10 years. Yeah, the bad guys fight dirty and not nearly enough people stand up and fight them.

            I will go to my grave with the satisfaction of knowing that I manned up and fought instead of just sitting there bitching.

            Thank you for your kind words.

          • MaryQueen January 16, 2023 at 11:01 am #

            Thank you for fighting the good fight, Walter B.

            Islander will stand up & apologize for a billionaire grifter like Elon Musk but criticize someone like you, who has taken on the big guys locally and with nothing behind you (like billions of dollars, the defense industry and the deep state).

          • Jarek January 16, 2023 at 12:35 pm #

            Walter seems reasonable, and in fact often is reasonable – and sometimes brilliant. But he hates to be publicly disagreed with or shown to be wrong. Then you’ll see a very different Walter.

          • Islander January 16, 2023 at 9:12 pm #

            MQ, you persists in mischaracterizing what I actually write about Musk, starting with the “Musk worshipper” phrase. I assume that you can read, so I don’t know why you do this; however, I do speculate as to why you do it.

            I find that Walter B’s message is always the same: “I am pessimistic.”

            JHK called him out on his crybabyism.

      • Rowdypiglet January 16, 2023 at 11:13 am #

        I disagree. I value Walter B’s contributions, which are always reasonable, well argued, and derived from his experience.

        I enjoy the comments here, even those in disagreement with our host, provided they make a genuine argument. No one needs a comment section full of sycophants.

      • megabeth January 16, 2023 at 11:30 am #

        Pessimism or realism should not be confused with trolling.

        • Ron Anselmo January 16, 2023 at 11:50 am #

          An optimist hopes something good happens. A pessimist hopes something bad doesn’t happen. The operative word being hope.
          Hope is the last vestige of denial.

          A realist just sees what is – makes no value judgement or spin on things. Being a realist works – we should try harder to be realists – it helps.

          Seeing reality is understanding – optimism & pessimism are feelz.

          • Jarek January 16, 2023 at 12:44 pm #

            True, but a person of faith may fight on against incredible odds – and triumph despite the realism which would have told him to give up.

            Of course your realism may be able to accommodate doing the same. A one in a hundred chance is still a chance.

            There was little reason to believe that Christendom would triumph at Lepanto against the Turkish savages. And the doctrine of Just War as defined by people like Pope Benedict would have had them give up – rather than allow the Holy Ghost a free hand.

          • Greg January 16, 2023 at 12:57 pm #

            Ron, my take is that we first must be sure we’re seeing things as they truly are, without spin, and then go on to judge their significance in light of our values.

          • Beryl of Oyl January 16, 2023 at 1:07 pm #

            Hope in the Christian sense is the confident expectation that God is working.

          • Rowdypiglet January 16, 2023 at 2:10 pm #

            Ron, One of the fundamentals of a leftist worldview is the belief that human nature can be changed. It’s this belief that makes it appealing to the young and naive. It’s also the reason I left it behind bit by bit as I grew older.

            A genuine realist knows that the only people who make no value judgments are people with no values. Human beings are creatures that think and feel. Imagining that either one of these things, or both, can be done away with is in no way realistic. We have to learn to work with what we are. A sane, adult person maintains a balance between thinking and feeling. Both hope and despair are part of being human.

            Since I left behind my liberal views, I always ask the same question when someone proposes one of these modifications of human nature, which is: what do you propose as the punishment for refusing the modification you’ve chosen for us? The Soviets found out, as others have, that even the threat of being sent to the gulag was insufficient.

          • Ron Anselmo January 16, 2023 at 5:30 pm #

            Rowdy – I’m probably just to the right of Attila the Hun, but that’s another conversation.

            You are correct, the reality is, people are thinking & feeling, and hope and despair are a part of the reality of being human.

            We make decisions of course, based upon those realities, and our personal values.

            Point was to separate optimism & pessimism from realism – some consider optimism & pessimism as intuition, whereas in reality, they are “into wishin'”.

            Appreciate your perspective.

          • Islander January 16, 2023 at 9:23 pm #

            It is perfectly possible to be realistic in a very bad situation without constantly pointing out the obvious: We are in a bad situation. Yeah, we know that.

            If you were crew on the Endurance, what kind of person would you want for your captain? I’ll choose Shackleton.

            (BTW, I just learned that the wreck of the Endurance was discovered under the Antarctic ice in March 2022.)

        • Jarek January 16, 2023 at 12:39 pm #

          If a White man and an East Asian woman have children together, the boys will often not be able to identify with the father. They’re just too different. And that is a very, very bad thing.

          You may not like it, but it’s true. And the others may get along fine with their parents, “just” not identify with either people. Is that a good thing or a bad thing, Beth?

          • riverrunner January 16, 2023 at 2:07 pm #

            Dear gawd, you’re insane.

          • SpeedyBB January 17, 2023 at 10:08 am #

            Jarek: “If a White man and an East Asian woman have children together, the boys will often not be able to identify with the father.”

            Interesting proposition, and one worth thinking over. The first thought that came to mind was “Tiger Woods” which seems to be an exception to your statement. Also

            I found the points you raise in CFN, outrageous as they sound at first hearing, often worth serious consideration. I do not bother with “right” or “wrong”, “correct”, “incomplete”, “false by insinuation”, but rather consider the issue on its own merits.

          • Anthea January 17, 2023 at 2:10 pm #

            Kids are generally more attached to whichever parent they most resemble temperamentally–that is, the one whose temperament they inherited. But the thing you notice when you have a whole bunch of kids is that some get their temperament from their mother and some from their father, and some kids seem to get a little bit of both.

            The “problem” (if it is one) of boys not being able to identify with their fathers and girls not being able to identify with their mothers is very common, even without throwing Asians into the mix.

            When a girl inherits her temperament from her father, and her mother is of a very different temperament, mother and daughter are likely to have a whole lot of trouble getting along, and even understanding each other.

            The “daddy’s girl” who cannot relate to her mother at all is very common. And conversely, and also with boys.

            These temperamental variations cause a lot of family discord, especially when the discord is about nothing at all. Family members are not pissed because little sister fidgets or chews on her pencils; they’re pissed because she lacks their own stolid temperament. She is more mercurial. And the mercurial family members will be irritated by the stolid ones.

          • Ron Anselmo January 19, 2023 at 1:56 am #

            @ Anthea

            You make some very interesting points about the mishmash of children inheriting certain parental temperaments and the bonds that follow or not. The patterns are there I think – just never thought of the reasons they formed in that way. I enjoy the breadth & depth of your comments. Your family is fortunate to have such a matriarch.

    • Beryl of Oyl January 16, 2023 at 10:07 am #

      Another good sign I noticed- evidently Idahoans weren’t having it that their Senator was taking off to the WEF meeting.

        Oh really? LOL. I missed that. That’s great. I’m going to try to go get some footage at the next Caldwell school board meeting, against the wokie policies they are trying to implement. There were like 1500 people at the last one, and the school board ended it early because they didn’t want to deal with the opposition.

        I wonder what (James) Keir Hardie, founder of the Labour Party, would think. He was working in the Lanarkshire coal mines at the age of seven.

        His namesake (Sir) Keir Starmer, lawyer, former Queen’s Councillor and currently Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath and leader of the Labour Party, is off to Davos with the rest of them.

        I mentioned his forthcoming visit in my last email to my (Scottish Labour) MP, pointing out that Mr Starmer seemed to have forgotten that collusion between governments and the corporatocracy is the very definition of fascism, and that the Labour Party seemed particularly keen to tread that path.

        I’ve had quite a few replies from him (all useless), but I’m not expecting that one to be acknowledged.

    • MaryQueen January 16, 2023 at 10:11 am #

      I share your cynicism about anyone being held responsible.

      I love reading Jim’s optimistic take, though.

    • Walter B January 16, 2023 at 12:16 pm #

      If anyone wants to see a great and current example of why I believe that there is much talk and little to no action, go to You Tube and check out the video, “Chip Roy: ‘Doesn’t This Make Anyone Nervous?”.

      It is 1/2 hour long, but even watching for a few minutes will prove to you that the boss is the same as the old boss. I hope that time proves me wrong here, and I suppose that I should find hope in the fact that at least one of them spoke critically about his House of the Setting Sun, but I certainly am very tired of waiting to see any signs of correction.

    • Greg January 16, 2023 at 1:05 pm #

      Hi Walter,
      I think a key question is the extent to which the Republicans themselves are compromised by bribery, blackmail or extortion. Because the public expectations of “explanin’ ” have been aroused, there may be some revelation of wrongdoing, but carefully calibrated to avoid exposing the system itself as worm eaten, as opposed to a few scapegoated individuals. per your own history of civic activism, I’m betting that cleaning house from the bottom up is more likely thantrying to do it from the top down.

  2. Mountain gal January 16, 2023 at 9:46 am #

    And it really does come down to who benefits? Who benefited by the insane amounts of money the vax earned? By all of those prevented from accessing safe and effective treatments that were put on respirators and given Remdesevir? From all the small businesses that closed? Was it partly to kill off elders or the sick/disabled? I dunno. It’s just so huge and monstrous I don’t know where to begin to figure it out.

      There is a tangled matrix of a great many rackets, that’s why it is so hard to pick apart and tease out just who is behind it.

      I think some of the players aren’t even aware of the others.

      I think I may have discovered who is ultimately behind much of it, though. We’ll see if this posts:

      One of the most important issues that Jim has been doing a great job hammering on here is the injections, their murderous effects, and the insane continuation of those who brought this agenda to us and who promote it still.

      In my circle of human contacts, I have already seen dozens of deaths and disabilities from the injected, at least half of them being healthy and without any comorbidities.

      MY MSN hotmail home page touts’ multiple deaths every damn day like Priscilla Presley, some healthy high school or college athlete, or celebrity. Is that some way of rubbing our noses in it? Why this murderous campaign is still be pushed and why anyone at all is buying into it baffles me. The only positive way to look at this, if it continues unabated is that survival of the fittest appears to be working.

          Lisa Marie abused both opioids and cocaine, by her admission. Cocaine certainly does a lot of damage to the heart. Of course, the addition of opioids just compounded the damage.

          The day before her death she was complaining of sharp abdominal pain. I have read that she may have had a diseased liver.

          And she never stopped grieving over the suicide of her son just two years ago. I think in LMP’s case it was a combination of factors that led to her cardiac arrest. Not even known if she took any jabs or not. Probably did since she lived in CA.

          • Beryl of Oyl January 16, 2023 at 1:09 pm #

            She did a PSA or something promoting the jabs, and she herself had at least three.

        It’s not survival of the fittest. Some of the most fit among us are dropping like flies. It’s survival of the uninjured. I’ve heard it derisively referred to as an IQ test. But I don’t think intelligence is actually what has saved the unvaxxed. It’s a compliance test and the compliant are the ones flunking the test.

        • C.O.Jones January 16, 2023 at 11:23 am #

          I dunno. Part of the reason my now ex divorced me was I refused to wear a mask or to take the shot.

          When they began pushing the shot, I pointed out to her there were already (wonder how they knew?) figures that said Covid killed 0.26% of the people infected and was especially deadly for those over age 80 and the obese. Neither of us fit those categories.

          “Sounds like the flu” was my reasoning.

          I submit @mrs_saj that maybe the compliant ones flunking the test are of lower IQ.

          • Mike G January 18, 2023 at 7:24 pm #

            The whole scenario was mind bongoling, you have almost no chance of dying from it unless they stick your sorry ass in the hospital and kill you and o yeah we won’t let you go unharassed unless you do.

            Lol, Ron. I guess it all depends on your definition of ‘flunk’. But it’s good to hear from you.

            The reason I balk at calling it an IQ test is that it seems to me that lots of folks traditionally considered intelligent, like those with advanced educations, are falling prey to the command to take the jab. So, to me, it does not seem to entirely be a matter of intelligence. Other factors seem to be in play: political ideals, skepticism, and even just plain stubbornness.

            I have an above average IQ, but I truly excel at stubbornness.

            Book smarts (the ability to memorize and repeat) are not applicable here Mrs_Saj.

            This is about real intelligence.

          • Islander January 16, 2023 at 6:35 pm #

            Mrs. Saj:

            What is labeled intelligence does not necessarily = thinking for oneself.

            In fact, the opposite is often the case:
            Many of those who succeed in our competitive educational environment (I mean, the competition to be accepted and then graduate from topnotch educational institutions) are actuallyl very good at perceving accepted parameters, the Overton window, and staying within them/it. Even unconsciously, to avoid cognitive dissonance.

            These types of people are also the most likely to have professional positions where their livelihoods are dependent on not *really* questioning authority. If they start to stray, the “Trump” dogwhistle will soon bring them back into line.

            The basic mentality of these “intelligent” group-thinkers was well described by Thomas Frank in “Listen, Liberal!” Which came out hears before the covid madness, but is eerily prescient.

            This is all part of the “He’s smart, but he’s stupid” factor.

            There may be noncompliant who refused to comply for stupid reasons.
            Unlike people like us (!!!), who said no thank-you because we did inform ourselves and our antennae were whipping wildly in the blasts of propaganda. That, I would say, is a good proxy for an IQ test.

            It doesn’t matter how “smart” you are if you end up sick or dead. Evolutionary dead-end!

        • Jarek January 16, 2023 at 12:47 pm #

          Which means in this case, the survival of the smart – as in street smart, not IQ per se.

          The compliant are constrained by the terror they know will descend on them when they admit that they’ve taken poison and that their lives will be either suddenly cut short or otherwise ended prematurely.

          The other factor in play now is that people can’t help but notice how many healthy people (often young or in early middle age) in their work and social circles are dying of Suddenly. It’s no longer possible to not notice.

          • Night Owl January 16, 2023 at 5:58 pm #

            Yeah. Hearing this particular guy just blurt out that he thinks the powers that be are murdering us was a step that went far, far beyond what I would expect a leftist to think.

            We are friends, and I was going to broach the shot subject carefully, and he just went all in.

        **Mass Formation Psychosis**

        [See Dr Mattias Desmet — Ghent University]

        • Islander January 16, 2023 at 6:40 pm #

          I don’t think it can be “mass formation” when people are confined to their homes and isolated from one another.

          The psychosis bit is nonsense.

          • ViceGrip January 16, 2023 at 7:20 pm #

            Actually Islander, this is not a process requiring — in any way, shape or form, the individual’s actually being physically together.
            Their enforced separation from each other, with not very much to do — other than their near-continual fixation with media screens large (60″) or small (2-1/2″), actually served to greatly amplify & accelerate the condition.
            Perhaps you should *actually* read Desmet.
            Additionally, this psychosis was also definitively explored by Gustave Le Bon in his seminal 1895 work “The Crowd: A study of the Popular Mind”.

            Hey, you forgot the snark alert.

            I believe I have written quite a lot here as to what I perceive to be the major problems with Desmet’s theory, as he set if forth in a session with Reiner Fuellmich.

            It is my recollection that Fuellmich also was not comfortable with the Desmet theory. Unlike his then colleague, Viviane.

            Dr. Peter Breggin has also explained in detail his problems with the Desmet view. The primary issue is that Desmet in the end effect blames the victims. In response to Breggin’s criticism, Dr. Robert Malone has sued Dr. Breggin, 86, and his wife, Ginger Breggin, for $25 million. Something is wrong with this whole picture.

            Point taken; however . . .

            1.) Malone is ‘controlled opposition’.

            2.) You have succeeded in ‘throwing more
            gasoline on the fire”.

            3.) This is to be fully expected of you for
            two (2) very simple reasons:

            A. You are human
            B. You have an ego

            4.) Due to #3 [above], you have ‘skin in the
            game’, as it is likely you have not
            ‘extinguished your ego’ [as occurs with
            many Eastern religions].

            5.) As a result thereof, you are simply not
            capable, as the majority of ‘us’ — as
            regards your understanding of this
            matter — of remaining objective.

            6.) Occam’s razor, Ockham’s razor, or
            Ocham’s razor:

            A. Also known as the principle of parsimony or the law of parsimony, is the problem-solving principle that “entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity”.

            ‘throwing more gasoline on the fire”

            B. It is generally understood in the sense that with competing theories or explanations, the simpler one, for example a model with fewer parameters, is to be preferred.

      • Rowdypiglet January 16, 2023 at 12:30 pm #

        I suspect he initially thought he’d called in the experts, and trusted them. At some point I’m sure he realized otherwise, but he won’t admit to it because his ego is his biggest flaw. He would have had to make admissions in public that he just isn’t capable of making.

        • Jarek January 16, 2023 at 12:55 pm #

          It’s very hard to con a con-man. I seem to be the only who remembers Trump trying to warn people that it was all a scam, “If we just stopped worrying about it, it would go away.” But he got panned for that, since he didn’t have the guts to come out and talk plainly about what he knew.

          But I agree about his flawed character. He’s too proud to admit he was publicly wrong, and certainly he’ll never admit that he knew it was a scam but he was too weak or frightened to really fight for us openly.

          • Beryl of Oyl January 16, 2023 at 1:14 pm #

            He had a lot of good ideas, according to Dr. Scott Atlas, but unfortunately he didn’t have anyone on his team who saw to it that his wishes were carried out.

            In fact, he had people actively working to thwart him and keep him in the dark as to what was going on.

            He was ultimately responsible for the task force, however.

          • Islander January 16, 2023 at 6:48 pm #

            Remember when Trump said we should leave the WHO.

            At the time I thought he was nutcase, and this idea was akin to tearing up all of the test ban treaties.

            But as the situation developed I saw that Trump was right! The WHO does not represent the interests of sovereign nations but has been captured by Gates and the WEF.

            So, Trump was right about that!! But by the time some of us came round to understanding that, Trump had already capitulated to peer pressure in DC, the NIH, Big Pharma, the AMA, who knows who was twising his arm? If I ever knew, I have forgotten.

            What this (and other early policy ideas of Trump, such as cooling it with Russia and bringing manufacturing jobs back to the USA, and getting control of the border) suggests to me is that Trump is like a lot Americans: He has a decent BS detector, but it is pretty easy to neutralize it when the going gets tough.

            Remember John Mitchell: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Unfortunately, Trump was and is not nearly tough enough. Although given what has been slung at the guy it is amazing that he is still standing at all . . . .

            “…he didn’t have the guts to come out and talk plainly about what he knew.”

            Absolutely right!

            However . . . he knew a HELL of a lot!

            In May of 2017 — just after midnigh, Donald Trump tweeted:

            “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.”

            That was it.

            “covfefe”.

            Many of his 31 million followers on Twitter were baffled.

            It is now established [real] science, that the spike protein of the bioweapon, inundates the entire body with unbound Iron atoms; said unbound Iron – in massive quantities, benig the primary causitive factor for the destruction of ALL physiological processes necessary for humans to remain alive.

    Giving witnesses immunity is a good idea, but the witnesses don’t live in a bubble. Their testimony will destroy any shred of respect from anyone in their social circles, and all hell will descend on their lives and those of any relatives.

    So although a good idea, it isn’t an incentive for the witness,. They will still be killed either socially or physically from their testimony.

    • Islander January 16, 2023 at 10:43 am #

      I disagree.

      I think the truth has a large constituency.

      In a criminal investigation, you work your way up the chain of guilt, staring with the smaller guys. They get immunity in return for fingering the guy next up the line, and so forth.

      In the current situation I think most thinking people realize that many small fish were put under a lot pressure to toe the line.

      Even though “a fish rots from the head,” it might make sense to tap the tail and body of the fish and offer it immunity.

This ‘sudden adult death syndrome’ and the fact that adults are contracting RSV — a mild disease normally limited to infants — is what I have in mind.

    “The public should also hear why Ms. Walensky’s CDC promoted “incentive payments” to hospitals for each patient who died testing positive for Covid-19…”

    Did any hospital anywhere say “no thanks” to these payments? I doubt it.

    And maybe Ms. Walensky needs her fourth booster, just to put her actions where her (I’m sorry, ‘their’) mouth is.

      The hospitals ‘cleared the decks’ for the onslaught of patients sick with a virus the likes of which the world had never seen. In some cases, governments ordered that all other elective visits be postponed.

      It was take the covid money or get nothing.

      • Islander January 16, 2023 at 6:55 pm #

        BoO;
        Closely related (perhaps this is what you were alluding to):

        Hospitals’ bottom lines were taking major hits with the “cancellation” of all procedures and exams, etc. except for covid cases.

        Because that strangled the flow of funds from insurance companies that hospitals and doctors rely on for their income stream.

        No heart surgeries, eye surgeries, whatever surgeries and treatments meant no income.

  8. MaryQueen January 16, 2023 at 10:13 am #

    Great article today, James, thank you.

    I love the idea of a task force looking into the incentive to kill people on ventilators, which was surely done, as countless health care practitioners (mostly nurses) were tearfully attesting.

    None of those governors who directed (mandated) that ill people be placed in nursing homes have been held to account, either. I would love to add them to the list. It was 8 Democrat governors, IIRC, including Cuomo and Newscum.

    • Beryl of Oyl January 16, 2023 at 10:17 am #

      We did so know ventilators were not ‘treatment’ for anything, let alone for patients with respiratory issues, before the first patient entered a hospital.

      The covid task force didn’t look very far before they adopted the commie’s policies.

      • MaryQueen January 16, 2023 at 10:23 am #

        Yep. Remember, it was maybe the first week of the lockdown, when Cuomo ordered 10K ventilators, and this was seen as some great accomplishment. Paula D has pointed out though that ventilators require trained personnel to run and monitor them, and that wasn’t done.

        In NYC, nurses said that if an indigent person was unlucky enough to wander in off the street, they’d be marked as Covid positive, drugged, and hooked up to a ventilator, where they died. It was straight up murder.

        • MaryQueen January 16, 2023 at 10:26 am #

          I also remember companies like GM were scrambling to convert some of their manufacturing lines to ventilator manufacturing lines, to cover the shortage. This was back in the day that I had no idea it was all a scam. I watched Cuomo’s daily press conference with all the power point slides thinking, “ he looks very presidential.” What a fool I was.

          My awakening was a process throughout 2020. And my love of criminal cold cases meant I was extremely familiar with what the PCR test can do and what it can’t. By the end of 2020, I knew we were in big trouble and not to take the shots.

            The ”ventilator shortage” was a complete media fabrication, seized upon by TDS sufferers eagerly, because they will swallow any nonsense they are told by official sources.

            Ventilators can’t be used without electricity and oxygen hookups, (as I pointed out last week when some media slurper talked about seeing hallways in China being lined with ventilated patients).
            They need a trained nurse and a RT to mind the patient and the ventilator. They need an highly trained doctor to prescribe the settings of the ventilator and the drugs needed to keep the patient sedated, If the patient wakes up, they will pull out the ET tube. That is how they do.

            I remember watching a video of an ER doctor in New York City fairly early on, in which he expressed bafflement that the ventilators were not effective on covid patients, and he couldn’t understand why.
            I remember he said that it covid respiratory failure was not an airway problem, it was an oxygen exchange problem in the alveoli, so the ventilators were not helping.

            But the media hype continued and Trump was pressured into pushing for more production.

            As far as the competing Cuomo daily press conferences, it is clear that he as being groomed as the Dem anti-Trump presidential candidate. Both the Trump and the Cuomo press briefings were covered live daily, which doesn’t usually happen. They were hyping the “pandemic” as well as hyping Cuomo. Every day the media took something Trump said and twisted it beyond belief, to make him look bad. Every day the media told us how wise and caring Cuomo was.

            And then something happened. I have no idea what happened, but the total reversal of the propaganda and his quick total takedown makes it clear that the overlords changed their minds and went with Biden instead.

          • Paula D January 17, 2023 at 2:05 pm #

            Wow. I went to YouTube to try to find the video of the ER doctor I had seen.

            Search for “ER doctor says ventilators don’t work” and all you get is video after video of the propaganda of 2020, talking about how more ventilators are needed, dammit!

            Anyway I found the video, if anyone is interested…

            From March 31, 2020.

            And yet the media continued to hype the need for ventilators, and hospitals continued to follow the prescribed protocols.

      • ViceGrip January 16, 2023 at 1:45 pm #

        The ventilators were simply utilzed to place ‘patients’ in a position whereby they (and their loved ones) were made incapable of refusing the pre-planned administration of Remdesivir, which permanently shut down their the kidney’s and ultimately killed them; not the purported ‘Covid-19’.
        I would be reniss if not also mentioning that Remdesivir — manufactured by Giliad Sciences, Inc, made a fortune for Dr. Fauci, as he privately held the lion’s share of Patents utilized in it’s production.

        • MaryQueen January 16, 2023 at 2:51 pm #

          Indeed. The people that may have survived the ventilator at first were then killed by the Remdisivir.

            @RR

            She is correct in the very beginning of this farce many people on ventilators had way to high of pressure causing lung tissue damage and thus death.

            Not sure why you seem too always be wrong but there it is.

          • ViceGrip January 16, 2023 at 7:54 pm #

            . . . absolutely correct benr and MaryQueen!
            At the beginning of this event, lung damage observed by ER physicians (“Black Glass Shards”) was their only working hypothesis for why the patients were unable to breathe; thus the ventilators in lieu of a standard O2 mask.
            It was only some months thereafter, that two young ER Physicians at a clinic in California had a press conference, at which time they announced: “It’s not that the apparent lung damage is preventing patient’s proper oxygenation, but, rather, an inability of their blood [hemoglobin] to take up and tranport oxygen properly!”
            Of course, they were absolutely correct. As a consequence thereof, they were both “thrown under the bus”, lost their jobs, medical licenses, and were never seen or heard from again.
            Thereafter, ALL patients nationwide were immediately placed on high-pressure ventilation as SOP.

            Is Gavin Newsom related to Nancy Pelosi?

            California Governor Gavin Newsom is not related to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by blood, but rather by family ties.

            Newsom’s parents, William and Tessa were prominent in San Francisco, as William worked as a judge in California.

            William’s sister Belinda Barbara Newsom married Ron V. Pelosi in 1956 and established the tie between the families.

            Pelosi has a brother named Paul who married Nancy D’Alessandro, who then became Nancy Pelosi.

            Nancy is Newsom’s aunt-by-marriage.

      Newsom will be elevated to the presidency in the same manner as Abe the Tyrant was – via a plurality vote after the opposition was split.

      Despite his many failings, I still like Trump a lot, but I do believe that DeSantis offers us a much more capable and competent individual to try to deal with the massive mess that will need to be cleaned up once the dementia patient is escorted out of the White House and into an old folks home back in Delaware.

      I wish Trump would simply play the role of Kingmaker and drop out of the race and endorse DeSantis. A unified party at least would have a shot at trying to take down the corrupt, lying, cheating Dems – but there is almost zero chance of that if Trump demonizes DeSantis with the Trump MAGA base, leading to a split party no matter who wins the nomination in 2024.

      If Trump doesn’t figure this out soon he may well go down in history as the greatest pompous dolt of an ex-president since Woodrow Wilson.

      I have a hard time with granting immunity to anyone who coerced the unsuspecting, the gullible and/or the just plain stupid into taking a shot that would alter their genes.

      Limited immunity should only be dispensed until enough evidence has been obtained to put the asses of Fauci, Birx, Gates and Trump in the witness chair so we can listen to them trying to controvert irrefutable evidence. Trump chose to stand by his “beautiful, beautiful” death shot so have a seat, Donny – but first raise your right hand and put the other on the bible.

      The logistics are staggering but I believe every boss – including mine – doctor, nurse, pharmacist, politician and celebrity who urged the death shot be put on trial for their life, Nuremberg style. Don’t leave out the pharma executives, either. Pfizer, Moderna and every manufacturer of death shots should have their assets seized and distributed to victims and victim families. Pharma execs need to share accountability and don’t limit it to financial accountability.

      I say this with full knowledge that Bill Gates spent a good part of October in Belgium with the same cast of characters from event 201, planning the next pandemic.

        I tend to agree with the people who say very little will be done in the way of any compensation or justice. If you want to avenge the deaths of relatives/friends, and everyone in the country on the same page, trying to put the beast in jail and on trial might not be possible. But the country can collectively do something that will literally starve the beast to death and force the beast’s employees and investors to all look for other pastures. The beast ate it all up and left nothing for them.

        Stop having anything to do with the current “health care” system unless it’s for something purely mechanical like trauma, ruptured appendix, broken bones etc. For all the rest, use naturopathic medicine. Sure, there will be a lot of risk involved making that change, but if you are serious about literally killing this beast you can cut off his food supply, you are that supply. Unplug the beast, stop using his services, publish information about the beast’s endless medical crimes and scams, grow a set of balls. Take a risk and be rewarded by the sweet sweet aroma of both success and revenge. No need to take Pfizer to court. Turn away from all Pfizer products and bankrupt the company. We have the power to do far more damage to big Pharma than any court or trial could ever do. Pfizer needs to go pfffffffttttttt kaput!!!!!! Would the average person in the US have the courage to do something like this? Probably not. But I do know that naturopathic medicine works, and that the side effects of Pharma’s synthetic products can be very bad. And I know not just by reading about the subject but by having known people personally who switched over to natural medicine.

            The synthetic mRNA of Pfizer and Moderna, along with the viral [Adenovirus] vector DNA delivery systems of Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca, change your genetic code, making you “genetically-modified”.

            They own mice and bacteria created with their inventions. Once you get these shots, you are no longer a “naturally-occurring” human being; to wit, a Genetically Modified Organism [GMO].

            Biotechnology companies can own living things if said things are genetically-modified and not naturally-occurring.

    ” The public should also hear why Ms. Walensky’s CDC promoted “incentive payments” to hospitals for each patient who died testing positive for Covid-19 (not necessarily from Covid-19). The payments per patient ranged wildly, state by state from $18,000 (NJ) to $471,000 (WVa). Why was that? The payments amounted to a bonanza for hospital administrators, who were incentivized to let people die on ventilators.”

    This fact begs the question: How will this make it more likely that more manufactured “pandemics” will occur?

    I’d argue that it increases the possibility a lot.

    If wishes were horses, peasants would ride

    All government – in any form – is merely an extortion racket; conquer, enslave and harvest via tribute and taxes

    But some cry, without govt (aka enforceable law), we would have anarchy which some power group would fill the void anyway. Exactly, hence only death and taxes (govt) being the two absolutes

    Now in the good old days leadership simply ruled via blunt force. But they got wise and started using tools and techniques of propaganda to guide serfs themselves to construct their own virtual prisons

    So here we are, a perfect matrix of control, but one invisible to most, and a supporting priesthood reinforcing a message of agency, free will and salvation

    Some follow the msm to monitor the main narrative; I follow jhk, et al to assess the current fantasy of self determination. Notice all the positive reaffirming roles/duties govt is “supposed” to provide. Lulz

    In the meantime, one would be advised to simply follow exchange and interest rates. America exists in its present form due to one single thing. It is under attack and will be defeated

        Ukr is like midway; a mere battle limited to a specific theater. The real war is over who will control the last great stores as scarcity reasserts nature’s balance

        I cross the border practically every week. Anyone who travels is usually shocked/impressed by the sudden transition

        Perfect roads, signage, landscaping, engineering. Then, 10 minutes later downtown & the pacific fleet

        All of this is made possible by one thing. It certainly isn’t the ‘people’, that ship sailed long ago with the immigration and civil rights acts

        So if you’re a player, if you saw the trends emerge long ago, where would you place your bets? In the meantime, would you give the marks a heads up?

        Ask 100 people what the national debt or how money is created to finance the budget and deficit. Do they know that taxes only represent a portion?

        You soon realize that no one has a clue, or that those who do are long gone; they ain’t fucking around trying to explain anything to the rubes

        Then we have people like jhk and others who know, but are compelled to keep doing what theyve always done playing don quijote

    “… immunize witnesses against prosecution, to give them no incentive to hide what they know, what actions they carried out, and who told them to do it.”

    At this point, we are done as a functioning nation. Corruption is rampant. Our legislators from local to the Federal Government have not served the people, but themselves.
    So, what will it take to fix this? Everyone knows but are afraid to say it. We need an armed march on D.C. to rid the Country of the crooks in charge. The Government no longer fears the people. The people now fear the Government. When will the J-6 people get a fair and speedy trial? The answer is not until these folks rot in the D.C. jail. And don’t depend on the Republican Party to assist in freeing these people.
    I hate to say it but the people in this Country deserve what they get. When they figure out what happened to their life of beer and tailgating, they will be a sad lot.
    Face it, you are losing your freedoms daily. The Government is doing everything they can do to reduce the moral fiber of the Country.
    Don’t give up your guns!

    “Against the Tide”

    What is The Tide today? For starters, The Tide is the Deep State. The hidden Masters who rule all from deep in the dark shadows. And all Their clueless useful idiots who follow along like lost sheep following a deranged Shepherd.

    The Tide today is also the pandemic disease of Wokeism. A massive wave of Society-wrecking nonsense that seeks to undo hundreds of years of hard-earned progress of Civilization. Not that it was perfect, because it wasn’t. But by comparison, it’s far more tolerable than the Self-Indulgent Cancel-Culture ErasureHeads who parade around in faux righteousness and sickly self-satisfaction wielding judgments like sledgehammers with the subtlety of an out-of-control Mack Truck.

    Swim against The Tide and you’ll be crushed, They say. Conformity is righteous and swimming against the tide is evil, right? So reads the gospel lesson for today.

    The Tide has been Weaponized. The Government. The ‘Science!’. The Medical Mafia. Big p-Harma. Public education. Even the civil religion called (with deep reverence)… ‘The National Football League!’. Amen. And amen.

    “… Sundance wrote… punishment of these characters is less important than showing the people of this country how far off the rails we have gone. It may not be optimally satisfying, but it’s an argument worth pondering.”

    There is no forgiveness without a few things. First, Repentance. True, honest sorrow for what one has done. But these bastards do not repent, ever. They just double-down and try harder.

    After Repentance comes Restitution. Full and adequate payment in full with damages in every manner for each and every wrong that has been committed. That ain’t happening, either.

    Only after true and honest Repentance and Restitution can one even begin to approach the question of Punishment and/or Forgiveness. And since the Perps of today’s atrocities will never offer any of these corrective measures for their sins… we don’t have to worry about what our response will be. That leaves only one thing – Punishment.

    But again, we won’t fool ourselves. No one in The Indispensable Nation who belongs to The Protected Class of Evil-doers will be punished for anything. We are said to be a Country of Laws. Well, the old laws have long been replaced. The new law is simply… You Can’t Touch Me, Sucker. Suck on That.

    So ‘The Tide’ rolls on and on. And not just in Alabama, but everywhere.

    And We the People are being carried with it right out to sea. Into toxic, shark-infested waters. Without a life raft or a paddle.

    But with our pride intact and our consciences clear that at we at least still have some good left in us.

    Roll Tide.

      “Well, the old laws have long been replaced.”

      They want that believed. The law is written on the hearts of the people. People are marked according to thoughts [ forehead ] and actions [ hand ] regardless of source.

      What is needed is repentance [ changed mind ]. It is coming.

      The Kingdom of God is a form of government, not a religion. Religion is man making the rules as if they know best, while setting aside God’s law. Faith follows the Word.

        messianicdruid: (Well, the old laws have long been replaced.) “They want that believed. The law is written on the hearts of the people.”

        The old ‘replaced laws’ are the Civil Laws. Not really replaced, just totally ignored for the Privileged Class – but still used with gusto as a weapon against We the People.

        “The Kingdom of God is a form of government, not a religion.”

        The Kingdom of God is State of Mind. A return to our Divine roots which most humans have forgotten. That’s why diseases such as Wokeism or a belief in Big Daddy Government can thrive. People hunger for their spirits to be fed and when They turn against our Divine nature They will replace that empty space with the Shiny Deviant Thinking of the Day – which today is the Terminally Woke and DaddyGov.

        But of course, these are pitifully unsatisfying false gods which just leave its devotees hungering and empty even more. But Their pride or cluelessness won’t allow Them return to their Divine Home that They walked out on and now they fear returning back to.

        • messianicdruid January 16, 2023 at 3:26 pm #

          “This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”

          Man has no authority to “make” law. It is a maxim that all rules, statutes etc. be in conformance with higher law. The Founders got pretty close, closer than any before them, but as we now see, still inadequate.

        • Roundball Shaman January 16, 2023 at 5:23 pm #

          Leo Hohmann: “… The Patriot offers a hidden commentary on the Christian believer’s natural desire to remain free, to refuse to bend the knee to any earthly authority that controverts the will of Almighty God… When any earthly king or authority tries to subvert and supplant the laws of nature and of nature’s God, violating the sacred free will He instilled in us, that entity has now overstepped its bounds…”

          Earthly Kings suffer from the oldest sin in the Book: Trying To Be God. The ‘Kings’ may change… the locales may vary… but the sin remains. When will these deluded spirits ever get it? You ain’t never gonna be a god. We already got The One… and you ‘Kings’ are sure as hell are a lousy sad substitute. And the only ‘Kings’ we need are the ones who play hockey in Los Angeles.

          “Most will not even recognize the evil for what it is, but even among those who do, they would rather believe lies than truth.”

          This is the Kings power. The deluded masses whose cosmic confusion empowers those who deserve this the least.

          “Where have all the Patriots gone?”

          Goes back to the idea of ‘Law’. Basically, Patriots have been outlawed. ‘Dissidents… ‘Trouble Makers’… ‘Enemies of the State’… thanks NDAA and related atrocities for those who attempt to be ‘Patriots’. And as Hohmann’s article points out… there aren’t that many today who even attempt to fill that bill.

          “To which king or kingdom will you swear your fealty?”

          When one sleepwalks through Life… this question is never asked of oneself. The ‘decision’ has already been made by such mindless default. And most people in this World stumble through Life in a blissful, cellphone-induced slumber. And that suits The Kings just fine…

    Another Big Lie being perpetrated by western Intelligene services and their Big Media mouthpieces: “Ukraine is winning the war.”

    This particular lie is leading to disaster, and it seems the true purpose is to keep the money flowing from the United States Treasury. After all, who wants to bankroll a losing cause? Does anybody really believe that Russia will be dislodged from Crimea or the Donbas Oblast? Or that Putin will be removed from office by a coup? Well, those are the conditions that Zelensky, NATO & the US State Dept. have laid down to Russia. Those condition will never be met, and Ukraine will be smashed irrecoverably.

    • SW January 16, 2023 at 12:52 pm #

      Like all the news on MSM, it’s impossible to tell how much is real about Ukraine. My guess is pretty close to zero. Zelensky poses and preens and does what he’s told except when he briefly goes off script and demands more and more money and stuff in the most peevish manner possible.

      Interesting fact — my youngest daughter lives in the UK and she told me the people there absolutely believe Putin is Hitler #2 and he blew up the pipeline to deprive Europe of gas. When I pointed out all he had to do was turn off the spigot, the answer was he wanted to cause maximum damage. The BBC is right there with MSNBC and CNN.

        I notice that the only news that we hear about Ukraine is pro Ukraine and anti-Russia. When I read that so many Russians are killed, I figure just as many Ukes are killed.

        Putin is going to destroy what is left of the eastern part of Ukraine to provide the DMZ he wants. It will not make any difference who says they control it.

        You will never convince a Leftist anywhere that Putin has a legitimate stake in controlling the border with Ukraine.

          The DMZ [150 Km wide and now being robotically-mined by the RF] will be establshed to the west of the Dnieper river, far enough away from the Russian Federation [RF] to preclude missile/artillary assault.

          The ‘rump state’ remaining west of the Dnieper will become Ukraine, but only after Hungary and Poland reclaim their former territories which had been annexed after WW2 in western Ukraine.

            I would like to see that. Not only would it be appropriate, but it would also make irrational, any attempt to integrate the Ukraine into NATO. It would also (hopefully) signal the unravelling of NATO from its eastern fringes, to its German core.

            But it won’t. We will sanction, coup, and make war upon any who oppose our national suicide.

        BBC, for one, has really ramped up hatred for Putin & Russia, frequently making the comparison with Hitler and the Third Reich. It’s pretty absurd; but apparently, as you say, people in the UK are buying it. The question is, if it came down to it, what kind of army could Great Britain field on the Russian Steppe? How long would that army last?

        • SW January 16, 2023 at 3:41 pm #

          The UK, along with all the other Ukrainian cheerleaders, seem to be perfectly willing to sacrifice Ukrainian people, send crumpets and money (no doubt funneled through the US weapon manufacturers) and express outrage.

          Boris Johnson was the one who went to Ukraine last April and told Zelensky and the people who actually run the country, not to sue for peace with Russia. I really don’t know why we’re playing this dangerous game and they’re fools if they think Russians won’t defend their country. Ask Napoleon.

    • Paula D January 17, 2023 at 11:11 am #

      The US plan is to depopulate Ukraine, so that Cargill, Monsanto and ADM can exploit it without pushback.
      So they provoked Russia for 8 years by killing the people in eastern Ukraine.

      So far the plan is working well for the US. Russians and Ukrainians are dying and the US is sitting fat and happy across the ocean, just like the last two times, ready to move in and loot when the killing if over.

      It’s working so well that now they are provoking China. “Let’s you and him fight Over There”.

      And Europe is being taken down again, also. The US is enticing German industry to move to the US because the sanctions Europe put on Russia are hurting Europe more than Russia.
      If Europeans are too stupid to realize this, if they fall for the 24/7 propaganda that lays the blame for the sanctions that they themselves imposed, on Russia, then the vaunted white mental superiority we hear so much about is clearly unfounded in reality.

      They cut off their own feet and then scream at Putin because they are crippled.
      Dumb as rocks.

      I think that eastern Ukraine will be better off once they are liberated from the Kiev regime, though.
      Mariupol is already being rebuilt. As soon as the entrenched Kiev forces are dug out of the other eastern cities and towns, the citizens there can breathe a sigh of relief and rebuild with Russian help.

    I hope the first question the committee asks is WHY there was any incentive at all to pay hospitals more and jack up the # of covid deaths? Why did the government health agencies want the pandemic to look worse than it was? Was it all about selling expensive vaccines from the start? Who put this policy in place? Was this a collaboration between the agencies and pharma and who did the bargaining on both sides?

    Immunity for direct testimony may be tainted by the witness to look more innocent than he was, but the public can hear from the mouths of people involved in this conspiracy (yes, it had to be for all the pieces to fit — “vaccines”, lockdowns, emergency powers) how it was set up and implemented.

    I hope the committee focuses on the pandemic and doesn’t get side-tracked into the multiple other corruptions.

    Okay for Biden to carry classified documents wherever he want, his Mob owns them. Okay to cheat on just about everything because they are the government.

    Remember how the Mafia used to buy local police and officials? Well, that is what happening at national level.

    Even Democrats are starting to find out how evil the Mob is becoming. Schiff of all people agrees that the document case needs investigating. Say what?

    Any one visiting Las Vegas, definitely visit the Mob Museum. You will discover much about the mobs that are contributing to the Evil in DC. It is much much more than the Italian mob of The Godfather. Remember too, the Mafia corrupted the Vatican, the US government is small potatoes.

    How does the Mob create wealth, now think of all the ways that the DC crowd has not stopped the increasing crime wave overcoming the entire hemisphere and actually encouraged the advance of crime in this country.

      He’s had those documents for six years. He took them when he was Vice President and he had absolutely no authority to declassify them. I have slept easier at night knowing the garage was locked.

      The Biden-Clinton-Pelosi Mob sold us for speaking fees, lucrative board seats, stock tips, real estate deals, and multiple homes long ago. In the grand scheme of things, probably bargain basement prices to the IMF and people whose names we’ll never know.

      JAZ,

      If you have not already done so, you might want to acquaint yourself with the work of Whitney Webb, particularly her recent two-volume effort, One Nation Under Blackmail. Or maybe just start out at her site, Unlimited Hangout.

      I’m sure we all know about the OSS collaboration with the Mafia in WWII, but Ms Webb explains that organized crime’s tentacles into our government are deeper and stronger than most would expect.

      I find Whitney Webb to be one of the most informative journalists out there today.

      • Ron Anselmo January 18, 2023 at 12:34 am #

        Bird – our government is organized crime.

        It’s not that one has tentacles into the other – they are one and the same – inseparable and indivisible. (but not a nation under God, nor with liberty & justice for all)

        Remind me why we still Pledge Allegiance e to it? Anyone?

        That’s why our government needs to be taken out completely. Start over from scratch.

    Just heard the latest Clot Booster Jab commercial on the radio, and it really hit me how “in your face” this medical fascism is.

    Of course, the commercial spewed the now worn out lie that the “new booster” is formulated to “protect you against the new variants”. Then the add directs you to go to vaccine.gov to find where you can get your kill, or injury jab.

    And then the ad says, “Brought to you by Pfizer/Moderna”.

    So, vaccine.gov……the government…..is helping two huge private corporations to sell their product.

    Most Americans are too ignorant and downright stoooopid to know that this is textbook fascism. The very definition.

    • Mick January 16, 2023 at 1:12 pm #

      …..not to mention that your government is helping two corporations to market a product while being exempt from legal accountability for injury and death from said products. A perpetual stay-out-of-jail-and-lawsuit card.

      That’s fascism on steroids.

      • Jarek January 16, 2023 at 1:51 pm #

        Well the Banks and Corporations are ultimately in charge, so that’s Plutocracy. But of course, they make their puppets in government act like bad Fascists, so there’s a partial truth in what you say, undeniably.

        • Blackbird January 17, 2023 at 6:31 pm #

          Plutocracy looks the same as Fascism to those crushed beneath the boot.

          They are in fact mirror-images of each other. Stereoisomers to be more exact.

          I don’t like either. Left foot, right foot, get off of my face.

          • Jarek January 17, 2023 at 7:44 pm #

            Only bad Fascism. On the other hand, Plutocracy is bad by its very nature.

          • Blackbird January 18, 2023 at 1:43 pm #

            I think I discriminate quite effectively, thank you.

            Mussolini said that at its core, fascism is martial and imperialistic.

            A martial culture is always fighting. Why would you want to invade another country? Why would you run such an obnoxious country that everyone else would want to make war on you? What a waste of time and resources.

            Imperialism is antithetical to nationalism, unless you plan to depopulate the conquered territories and seed them with your own people.

            Then there’s the whole “everyone must serve the state” ethos of fascism. Seems to me the greatest problem facing mankind at the moment is forced servitude to the state.

          • Jarek January 19, 2023 at 12:46 pm #

            If you don’t serve a State that serves the people, then you will end up serving something else, like Corporations and the WEF.

            As Buddha said, Struggle there must be since all life is a struggle of some kind.

            After Mohammad triumphed he said, Now begins the greater struggle – against self.

            But never mind all this. When you sell your house, give the proceeds to the local Indians since you were living on stolen land. Oh you forgot about that, eh? Everything you have is because of the Conquest. But do you honor them? No, you ignore and/or spit on they who gave you all that you have.

    Barnhardt

    This guy (John Beaudon) is an engineer who decided to go to law school in his 50s. He was thrown out of the program for refusing the poison injection, so he sued the university and The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and got access to Massachusetts death certificates and injury reports. The statistics clearly show massive upticks in cardiac arrests, clotting, leukemia, “anything to do with blood” across ALL age cohorts exactly coincident with the roll-out of the poison injections to each age group. And the really scary part is the the excess deaths are ACCELERATING – exactly what the ARSH 2016 article on Moderna stated: the toxicity of the poison is CUMULATIVE.

    Delivery — actually getting RNA into cells — has long bedeviled the whole field. On their own, RNA molecules have a hard time reaching their targets. They work better if they’re wrapped up in a delivery mechanism, such as nanoparticles made of lipids. But those nanoparticles can lead to dangerous side effects, especially if a patient has to take repeated doses over months or years.

    Novartis abandoned the related realm of RNA interference over concerns about toxicity, as did Merck and Roche.

    Moderna’s most advanced competitors, CureVac and BioNTech, have acknowledged the same challenge with mRNA. Each is principally focused on vaccines for infectious disease and cancer, which the companies believe can be attacked with just a few doses of mRNA. And each has already tested its technology on hundreds of patients.

    “I would say that mRNA is better suited for diseases where treatment for short duration is sufficiently curative, so the toxicities caused by delivery materials are less likely to occur,”said Katalin Karikó, a pioneer in the field who serves as a vice president at BioNTech.

    So given the fact that mRNA injections were poisonous, and that the toxicity was cumulative was well-known and openly discussed, plus the confirmation of the excess deaths that are accelerating, it requires a total suspension of disbelief to not acknowledge that we are in the midst of a meticulously planned operation to rapidly reduce the human population. Most of the oligarchs bandy about the figure 1 billion as a goal. The chimpanzee witch Jane Goodall has declared that the human population “must” be returned to ARSH 1500 numbers – 500 million. A NINETY-FIVE PERCENT CULL.

    And governments continue to buy the poison by the tens-of-millions of doses, and mRNA poison production factories are popping up like weeds. The next project they are ramping up is demanding that food animals be injected with the mRNA poison.

    Hopefully the war starts before then.

    **Honorable mention also goes to the poison Remdesevir, a failed chemotherapy drug which was inexplicably rolled-out in ARSH 2020 as suddenly the ONLY p€rmi$$ibl€ treatment for pneumonia, which the excellent presentation above proves is responsible for a massive uptick in acute kidney failure.

    Jarek: Attn Mango, who seemed to be saying that no one knew how bad all this would be, and of course John Az, who loves this funky stuff!

    So in the above, it’s the nano-particles, not the spikes? John, help me here!

    The wonderful Jane Goodall, a chimp witch. Sad, but undeniably true. But it’s also true that we have too many people. The Chimps are attacking people in rural Uganda because their forests are being cut down so that people can farm. It’s either the chimps or us. Goodall votes for the chimps.

          “The birth rate in Africa is very high and that’s one reason (maybe the primary one) that young men from sub-Saharan countries are flooding into Europe, especially Italy.”

          What utter cobblers. The infant mortality rate in Africa is around 43/1000 whereas Western Europe has as few as 3/1000. Incidentally, the USA, land of all good & great things except socialised healthcare, has an infant mortality rate almost twice that of Europe. Go figure.

          The actual reason that sub-Saharan Africans are swamping Europe is more related to the famine & droughts affecting these places – viz Syria 2013 onwards:

          “For proponents of the view that anthropogenic climate change will become a ‘threat multiplier’ for instability in the decades ahead, the Syrian civil war has become a recurring reference point, providing apparently compelling evidence that such conflict effects are already with us. According to this view, human-induced climatic change was a contributory factor in the extreme drought experienced within Syria prior to its civil war; this drought in turn led to large-scale migration; and this migration in turn exacerbated the socio-economic stresses that underpinned Syria’s descent into war.

          If you REALLY want to have some FACTS, which I doubt, read this:

          sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0962629816301822

          • SW January 16, 2023 at 6:40 pm #

            I didn’t say it was the only reason. And the quote you gave leaves out completely that Iraqi refugees flooded into Syria during the war and stressed their resources.

            Drought has always contributed to migration but in the case of Syria, maybe it had more to do with bombs.

          • ViceGrip January 17, 2023 at 7:18 am #

            Syria’s problems, Redneck says confidently, has to do with drought and nothing at all with the hundreds of thousands of jihadist terrorists from 80 countries unleashed on them by the US/NATO/Turkey goons staring in 2011.

            Meanwhile, the US is occupying 30% of Syrian land, coincidentally the part with the farmland and the oil.

            The US is looting both Syrian oil AND Syrian wheat, while Syrians go hungry and the Mighty Wurlitzer tells the brain dead “It’s the drought, stupid”.

            And then the stupid repeat it. But they aren’t just stupid, they are morally bankrupt.
            Syrians are suffering because the US is attacking and occupying their land and people, while dumbass morally bankrupt Americans spout off about drought.

            It’s far more than just evil America the schism is 600 years old
            and the blight is the Islamic religion as much as anything else Shia verses Sunni verses everyone else.
            Right down to how the countries were drawn up with little regard to who the people living there wanted to live with and be aligned to past present and future.

          • Paula D January 17, 2023 at 2:24 pm #

            benr, Syria is a secular country.

            Their problems started in 2011, not 600 years ago.

            It had nothing to do with religion (except that the jihadists were recruited from radical Muslim populations). It had to do with the US wanting to takedown Syria the same way they destroyed Libya, using a lot of the same terrorists and weapons.

            Where do you think the ISIS got their matching uniforms, their new Toyotas, their factory-made flags, their weapons and their endless supply of ammo??

            Allah?

            I remember seeing the sad story of a Syrian police station being attacked by the ruthless jihadists. The police ran out of ammo, but ISIS didn’t.
            Why?

            And when the police ran out of weapons, the jihadists ran over the station and killed them all.

            Same thing with the Syrian soldiers guarding the airport at Deir Ezzor, where the Syrian government was flying in food for the people of the village.

            The US military came and attacked the soldiers, killing 100 of them. Then ISIS came and took over the airport, laughing at the surviving soldiers, telling them that the US was their backup.

            Luckily, by then Russia had stepped in to prevent Syria from being another Libya, and they sent bombers to dislodge ISIS from the airport.

            So, no, the US excels at divide-and-conquer, as we have seen in Yugoslavia (Muslims vs Croats vs Serbs), Iraq (Sunnis vs Shite), Ukraine (Ukrainians vs Russians) and the US (black vs white, men vs women, Dems vs Reps).

            They use the same playbook everywhere. You probably should learn to recognize it, because they are doing it here now.

          • Paula D January 17, 2023 at 2:26 pm #

            Also, benr, how do you explain the US troops occupying 30% of Syria and stealing their oil and wheat, with your Sunni vs Shite explanation?

            It is as wrong as redneck’s climate change explanation.

            And it comes from the same propaganda machine, just targeted for a different audience.

          • benr January 17, 2023 at 6:08 pm #

            @paula

            I don’t try and explain a country I have never been to beyond what I have read.
            I could be wrong but then so could your sources.
            I have never read anywhere that the US is occupying 30% of Syria “stealing oil or wheat”.
            Be that as it may your take on the US is far more leftwing and hateful than mine.
            Sounds like bullshit to me but whatever since they claim we only have 900 troops there how are 600 troops going to keep millions of people in line much less steal resources in an area that no one wants them and NO Syria is not secular not even close.

            Religion in Syria (est. 2021)[1]

            Sunni Islam (74%)
            Shia Islam (Alawite Islam 10%) (13%)
            Christianity (10%)
            Druze (3%)

            And if you think that Syria can just go in and kill those US soldiers and stop the wheat and oil theft, I have a bridge to sell you.

            They are there as tripwires, human shields, and no one wants to give the US an excuse to level Syria, so no one does a thing about them.

            Some rando .org yeah no thanks I don’t trust the website enough to even click the link.

            Just from a common sense perspective the narrative does not wash.

          • Paula D January 18, 2023 at 11:06 am #

            The narrative that the US is looting Syria does not wash?

            Why would it not wash? Do you think that your owners do not kill and loot? Why would you think that?

            Refusing to look at sources not approved by your owners is the sign of a liberal, benr.

            Also “secular country” does not mean that everyone is an atheist, it means that there is no state religion in Syria and all religions are protected.
            The US has the same system. Are you going to claim that therefore there are no religious people in the USA?

            By the way, the jihadists your owners turned loose on Syria attacked a Christian town in Syria where they still speak Aramaic, the religion that Jesus spoke.
            Have you ever heard of Paul converting on the road to Damascus?
            Where do you think Damascus is?

            Your owners let jihadists loose on Christians who have lived in peace for 2,000 years in Syria, and they tortured, burned and killed them, as well as burning their church.

            But you don’t have to believe that, benr, if it upsets you.

            Don’t let the facts interfere with your sincere belief that your rulers love you and want you to be happy.

            Here is a liberal approved source for you. This is from when Trump tried to leave Syria. The US has been stealing Syria’s oil since Obama. (By the way, Iran is swimming in oil. They don’t need Syria’s oil. That is a neocon bullshit argument.)

            ”There are a lot of good arguments for maintaining an American presence in Syria after the fall of the Islamic State, but President Trump doesn’t seem persuaded by any of them. Perhaps he would back off his urge to cut and run if he knew that the United States and its partners control almost all of the oil. And if the United States leaves, that oil will likely fall into the hands of Iran.”

          • Anthea January 16, 2023 at 11:21 pm #

            Actually, as elysianfield implies, blacks were far better off at almost every level in the 1950s.

            In addition to high employment rates and largely intact families, there was little problem with drugs or shootings. Black kids got a far better education in neighborhood schools. There were also far more black-owned businesses.

Put Patel in charge? Sure, makes perfect sense as he was part of the weaponization on behalf of Orange Julius. Not.
    And Jimmy’s attempt to go after the so-called ‘incentive of hospitals’ has been already debunked so he must’ve missed the memo on that one, but he has to keep the laptop bombardiers amped and ready!

      Then you must be an anteater lol. I don’t know what problem you might have with Kash, please do tell. Seems to be very intelligent and knowledgeable to me. On the CDC website it mentions that through the CARES act 178 billion dollars was released to hospitals and providers “on the front lines” of the covid response. So it sounds like hospitals were paid to handle covid cases. It sounds like there was an incentive to report cases. Gosh, I was anticipating you would be more armed with facts.

      • riverrunner January 16, 2023 at 3:48 pm #

          Since when do conflicts of interest matter? It seems like you need people who know what happened to conduct a real investigation right? I’m already tired doing your thinking for you. But hit me. What else is confusing and baffling you today?

            Now look at you getting yourself all dirty trying to make a point. What makes you think they will not be conducted in a credible way? The deeper problem is that credibility is not the issue for you. You have already determined the outcome of the investigations were they to be credible or not. This is the central problem. You still have TDS after all this time. I’m sorry. This disease is incurable. We are in the “keeping you comfortable” phase. Now why don’t you rest before you work yourself up too much there.

        • Anthea January 16, 2023 at 11:47 pm #

          In previous trials to treat other diseases (one of which was ebola) Remdesivir was abandoned because (wait for it!) it killed people. It was deemed too dangerous to use, even to treat ebola.

          Ventilators, even in early 2020, were known to have produced a 95% death rate in China, as a treatment for covid. In the US, the death rate was, I think, only 85%. Ventilators, from a strictly mechanical standpoint were know to not only be useless for covid, but damaging, as well, fairly early in the game.

          Anyone who was familiar with studies and statistics KNEW all this in early 2020. If you’re a doctor, you have a DUTY to know what the hell you’re doing, BTW. Yet these harmful and even deadly treatments were universally used, in spite of the existence of truly safe and effective treatments. In fact, truly safe and effective treatments were both vilified and banned.

          So what you have here are multiple approaches to killing people, along with large monetary incentives to kill people.

          I’m not sure why I’m telling you this. It seems impossible that you would not know it already. But go figure.

        • Paula D January 17, 2023 at 11:32 am #

          “A conflict of interest” claims riverrat, is when someone has been an employee of another person.

          It is not, he claims at the same time, when hospitals are told that they must cancel all patient services except those related to covid, and they are given billions of dollars to treat “covid patients”, who can conveniently be diagnosed with an unreliable test that hospitals and clinics are also paid to use.

          No one could possibly have predicted what would happen when the arena was set up like that.

          And now that we see what happened we must close our eyes and pretend that it did not happen.

    (By prepare, I mean to be ready for the public reaction when ebt, wic, etc fail to cover living/eating expenses of the untermensch)

    We know jhk has his mini farm – he followed his own advice long ago.

    There, We support charities and other local needs in an effort to engender goodwill with nationals. Here, we’ve pursued the traditional close neighborhood approach while employing the gray man technique

    So the question is, which way do you go? No more atm, no firearms, completely at the mercy of locals, but perhaps joined by masses of fellow refugees

    Or stay and hold – you’re part of the social fabric, you understand (you ARE) the culture, you can protect yourself, but you’ll be in the middle of the fight

        They chit chat with neighbors. walk their dogs past the gardener pulling weeds, a local fishing off the rocks, anyone who could compromise their security either direct kinetic, kidnapping or other extortion

        You have to really be isolated with trusted security, but even then a failure like Pelosis could breach the perimeter

      At 50% compliance, there would still be approx. 300 million firearms remaining in the hands of the unwashed. 50% compliance is a governmental wet dream…in this political climate, expect much, much less compliance. Me? Of course I will comply…not like those other bastards….

      @ mitchellc:

      One of the more concerning things is being “joined by masses of fellow refugees.” IMHO, rural areas will be far less troubled by urban blacks than by fleeing urban and suburban whites–most of whom will be whiny little bitches who are unwilling to work and contribute, though there will of course be ample employment for them doing farm work and other manual labor.

      Rural small farmers have been troubled by the lack of sufficient farm labor for years (or even decades) around here.

      One local farmers’ market vendor has hundreds of acres of peach trees. It is always a struggle for him to find farm laborers to pick the peaches.

      Some local small farmers have a hired hand who lives with them and gets paid a small wage, in addition to free room and board–an okay deal for a guy with few or no employment possibilities, especially if the farm wife is a good cook.

      Most rural areas could employ hundreds of refugees (if they were wiling to work for little compensation). But I’m not sure they could employ thousands or tens of thousands of fleeing suburbanites.

      IMHO, blacks will never venture very far from the cities, though I think they’ll gut the suburbs like a fish. They will also steal the cars, but by that time the highways will be impassible. Blacks are not likely to go traipsing around the rural hills and hollers on foot, where they would encounter insects, spiders, dogs (probably lots of feral dogs), and weather. Urban blacks don’t do that shit. They’d eat each other first.

    • Anthea January 17, 2023 at 12:29 am #

      @ mitchellc:

      Re, “No more atm, no firearms,” I think you’re mistaken. Rural people have LOTS of firearms, and I suspect many of them have ammo out the wazoo. (Sounds like it around here, anyway.)

      Re the ATM problem: Do local rural people keep a stash of cash around the house? I don’t know, but I’d doubt it. But I do suspect that many more people have a stash of gold and silver than you would think.

      One guy I know who lives in a close-in suburb recently told me he has about $7,000 in junk silver, much of it stuff his late father collected. The reason I know he has it is because he recently asked me if I wanted to buy some of it.

      Bottom line: I think there may be enough gold and silver stashed away among rural people to function as currency, at least minimally. Obviously, barter would be everyone’s preference.

      We’re pretty close-knit around here. Productive and skilled people know and trust a lot of other productive and skilled people. They’ll get by. Though if you’re an asshole, getting by will be problematic.

    San Francisco Reparations Committee Proposes That Each Black Longterm Resident Receive $5M and Debt Forgiveness

    A reparations committee in San Francisco proposes paying each longtime Black resident $5 million and debt forgiveness after decades of “systematic repression.”
    Last month, the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee released its draft report on reparations – not for slavery, since California was not a slave state but “to address the public policies explicitly created to subjugate Black people in San Francisco by upholding and expanding the intent and legacy of chattel slavery.”

    The draft states, “While neither San Francisco nor California formally adopted the institution of chattel slavery, the tenets of segregation, white supremacy and systematic repression and exclusion of Black people were codified through legal and extralegal actions, social codes, and judicial enforcement.”

    A complete list of financial suggestions for Black San Francisco residents is included in the draft plan, including a one-time, lump-sum payout of $5 million to each eligible person.

    “A lump sum payment would compensate the affected population for the decades of harms that they have experienced and will redress the economic and opportunity losses that Black San Franciscans have endured, collectively, as the result of both intentional decisions and unintended harms perpetuated by City policy,” the draft states.

    The candidate must be 18 years old and identify as Black or African American on official records for at least ten years to qualify for the program. Additionally, they must meet two out of eight additional requirements, which they may select from a list that includes “Born in San Francisco between 1940 and 1996 and has proof of residency in San Francisco for at least 13 years” and “Personally, or the direct descendant of someone, incarcerated by the failed War on Drugs.”

    According to the draft, the plan also calls on the city to supplement lower-income recipients’ income to reflect the Area Median Income, which is around $97,000, annually for at least 250 years.

    “Racial disparities across all metrics have led to a significant racial wealth gap in the City of San Francisco,” it argues. “By elevating income to match AMI, Black people can better afford housing and achieve a better quality of life.”

    Furthermore, the plan aims to create “a comprehensive debt forgiveness program” that will forgive all qualifying individuals’ credit card debt, school loan debt, mortgage debt, etc.

    “Black households are more likely to hold costlier, riskier debt and are more likely to have outstanding student loan debt,” the draft explains. “When this is combined with lower household incomes, it can create an inescapable cycle of debt. Eliminating this debt gives Black households an opportunity to build wealth.”

    In June, the committee plans to submit the final draft proposal to Mayor London Breed, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and the San Francisco Human Rights Commission.

    “There are so many efforts that result in incredible reports that just end up gathering dust on a shelf,” said Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin. “We cannot let this be one of them.”

      Are people ever going to realize that the lack of success by the Black community is the fault of the Black community and its lack of ambition? It is easier to fall back to government dependence and crime than to work hard to get ahead.

      The success of solid Black businessmen, professionals and sports figures shows that the color of their skin is no impediment to motivated individuals. Where is all the Whitey opposition to these folks?

      The extremely tiny amount of White Supremacists over he decades are just an excuse.

      There is definitely more racism by the Blacks against Whites and especially Asians.

    Someone mentioned upthread that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp was attending the WEF in Davos. I think that’s quite fitting as his first act of his newly elected second term. I have given up trying to convince people that he is nothing but a money hungry slicked up redneck. That being said I must admit to having voted for him in the last election.

    It’s a sad fact that people seem to not to vote for someone – only against someone else. The only person I actually voted for over the last four or five presidential elections was Donald Trump and if I am completely honest, that was a vote against Hillary.

    I keep telling myself that I will never vote again, but like a junkie I keep going back for more. It’s really difficult to sit back and think of the possibility of someone like Stacey Abrams running the state. I guess I just have to get the point of not giving a shit. In case you’re interested here’s a link to some commentary on Brian’s vacay. leohohmann.com/2023/01/11/why-is-georgia-gop-governor-brian-kemp-heading-to-davos/

    • JohnAZ January 16, 2023 at 4:58 pm #

      You think that maybe Kemp is a RINO, that his heart is in the socialization and eventual globalization of the US? People that believe the Deep State is paramount want this result. I remember when Trump asked for Georgia to check its vote count to get him more votes, Kemp and his SOS said adamantly, NO.

      You are right, Abrams would have been a disaster.

      • JohnAZ January 16, 2023 at 4:59 pm #

        @BRH – I would certainly like to think so but I really doubt it. Perhaps you remember that a month of so after the 2020 election the boyfriend of Kemp’s daughter was killed in a tragic automobile accident. My tin foil hat vibrates just thinking about it.

    Anything foreign creates a reaction from the immune system. One of the basic functions of the system is to discern self from foreign. Then to attack foreign.

    You ask which part of the vaxx is toxic, the nanoparticles vs. the s protein?

    IMHO, both. If the nanoparticles was self neutral, no problem. However, if it was, it would not go away, the immune system would not bother it, it would go on forever. The contents of the nanoparticles is a major unknown, some content is known or suspected. Is it toxic? If it creates a reaction from the immune system, it is inflammatory, Inflammation is what is killing these kids.

    Is the s protein toxic? Of course! It is the reason the virus elucidates a response from our bodies we call Covid. It is the killer as the body over protects itself in response to the virus speed of attack. Inflammation throughout the thorax, clots, permeable alveolar membranes allowing body fluids to drown us. Is there any difference between the s protein from the virus or the vaxx? Not much if it is to work. How sensitive is the spectrum of humans to the s protein? Who knows, the PTB will not even investigate it, but anecdotes and VAERS are starting to tell a tale.

    Answer to your question, IMO, both. A lot depends on how long they last, if gone in a few days as claimed, not so bad. If gone in weeks or months, inflammation increases. So far, very short term and longer term reactions seem to be happening.

    Night Owl denies the virus’ existence and wants the s protein in the vaxx reaction to be the bad guy. ??? He may be right. My question though is where did the roadmap come from? Lab built gain of function viruses would be any easy source. Oops, someone wore it home.

    • Night Owl January 16, 2023 at 6:00 pm #

      I have said many times that I have little doubt that the kind of research they did in Wuhan and at JHU led to the development of the Death Shot.

      Covid, however, remains the greatest hoax in human history.

      • JohnAZ January 16, 2023 at 8:27 pm #

        NO

        Respectfully,

        Where did the get the map for the s protein? It had to fit into the ACE2 receptor.

        • Night Owl January 17, 2023 at 3:09 am #

          This is covered in the above post. You are suggesting they created and released a deadly virus.

          A deadly virus that killed virtually no one statistically, and, ofc, which is indistiguishable from varous flus and pneumonias that were no longer present in the annual statistics once the “virus” was out and about.

          If it exists, where is it? Show us.

    • Jarek January 16, 2023 at 6:21 pm #

      Interesting, thanks. In the early days, we heard about a lot of mostly middle aged women going into perpetual spasm – a horrible, exhausting thing.

      Is that still going on? All the attention is on the heart stuff now. Some people thought the spasms were from the nano-lipids I believe.

      • JohnAZ January 16, 2023 at 8:52 pm #

        Jarek, you brought up a thought though.

        Remember the period changes of many, many women.

        It is controlled by the mind clock and hormones being released on a periodic basis.

        What was the vaxx doing to these controllers?

        The s protein went everywhere, affecting anywhere there were ACE receptors, creating inflammation.

        The PTB should have known by the effectiveness of the attack by the virus itself, the s protein was toxic. The decisions made, in hindsight, seem insane.

        Also insane is getting boosted.

    Woman is a misbegotten man and has a faulty and defective nature in comparison to his. Therefore she is unsure in herself. What she cannot get, she seeks to obtain through lying and diabolical deceptions. And so, to put it briefly, one must be on one’s guard with every woman, as if she were a poisonous snake and the horned devil. … Thus in evil and perverse doings woman is cleverer, that is, slyer, than man. Her feelings drive woman toward every evil, just as reason impels man toward all good. –Saint Albertus Magnus, Dominican theologian, 13th century: Quaestiones super de animalibus XV q. 11

    The best thing about Republican women is no penis.
    – Ted Nugent (Nuge)

    • Woodchuck January 17, 2023 at 11:44 am #

      Lilith! She’s at the bottom of all these issues!

      The idea of woman being a misbegotten man is a fascinating biological delusion common in the era and locale of Jesus. I learned this from listening to Bible scholar Bart Ehrman’s very popular you tube videos. When it came to differences between the sexes, it was commonly believed that a woman was just a man that somehow never developed, that the woman was an incomplete man. When people thought about someone’s sex, they were thinking not of two different *kinds* of beings, but two different *degrees* of beings, one having a higher “degree” than the other. In ancient patriarchies, it was believed that the essence of life was in male “seed”, that it was the same with people as it was with wheat. You “plow” the woman with your penis and you are planting seeds in there that grow to become babies. People in that day and age had no idea that women had eggs in them, and that these eggs contained most of the genetic information and other items needed for an egg to grow to a baby. One of the more obvious things to learn from history is that humans have been suffering for a long time from popular delusions and beliefs having no foundation in reality.

        Stupid will be fixed in short order after the final belly up bankruptcy of the US federal government, followed by states everywhere seceding and federal food and welfare no longer available. It won’t matter what race you are. New governments and new confederations of states will bring “order out of chaos”. After tens of millions of people dead because of social chaos and food being unavailable, the survivors and the new governments will have a *very* no-nonsense and old fashioned approach to problems in the Long Emergency. After a period of deadly famines, people won’t mind at all doing field stoop labor again. It will be that or they wind up some where dead and abandoned, being eaten by worms and covered by flies. With no big nanny gov’t “caring” for people, everyone will do or die. We’ll all be required to grow up. Don’t want to work? Then it will be like apostle Paul suggested – don’t eat!

            Yes, Anthea, it’s a good guess that he hasn’t ever lifted a finger. Mommy takes care of everything.

          • Jarek January 18, 2023 at 1:00 pm #

            When Anthea first talked about doing manual labor, she framed it as something imposed on her (how feminine) by circumstance: “It’s not my fault I’m crawling under my house while smoking a little cigar”. (approximate quote). She then said something about actually being feminine!

            Then she started bragging about her abilities! Where did the dainty little flower go?! And implying that i was the feminine one instead – with the feminine now a bad thing since I was involved.

            Trickery is the constant shifting of ground (context) and yes, women excel at it, even as St Albertus said. And in this sense at least, Anthea is very feminine.

            The Ancient Greeks were more or less in agreement. Even though lacking in intellect, women were the equals of men in will – and perhaps greater in cunning, at least in general.

            As if gas lines will be a thing.

            What will be needed is someone that can rig up a compost methane catcher for individual household use.

            There isn’t going to be a centralized system for running gas from gas fields to individual houses.

            Laying gas lines will be as outdated a skill as writing code.

    In California Mass Murder, ‘a Message Being Sent’

    Cops believe a drug cartel is behind the slayings of 6 people at a Calif. home

    “Police believe a drug cartel is behind the fatal shootings of six people at a California home Monday. The “manner and swiftness” of the attack in Goshen, a quiet, mostly Latino farming community near Visalia in Tulare County, suggests experienced killers, the local sheriff says. “This was very personal, and we also believe that it was a message being sent.” A 6-month-old baby was found dead, cradled in her 17-year-old mother’s arms, in a ditch outside the home; it is believed the teen was trying to flee with her infant when they were both shot in the head, the Los Angeles Times reports. Other victims, which included three males and an elderly woman, were also shot in the head, and one of the men suffered so much damage to his face that DNA will need to be used to identify him. The elderly woman is believed to have been shot in the head as she slept in her bed….”

        C’mon Man! How is that possible. Mexico has very strict gun laws. There is only one gun store in Mexico. A country of 125,000,000 people. America needs more gun laws like Mexico. Gun laws stop gun violence. Just look at Mexico’s example.

        • Mick January 17, 2023 at 10:31 am #

          A lot of the guns from that sting operation during the Obama administration are still south of the border. Operation….something or other. I forget the name. It was yet another BATF clusterfuck that did more harm than good. You know, like Waco. But this time the body count is much higher. Lots of killing has been done with those guns over ten plus years.

    • BackRowHeckler January 17, 2023 at 10:12 am #

      Also, even tho the Mafia moved its share of narcotics over the years, this is something you would never see with them. They wouldn’t wipe out women, children and babies like this. A few women were murdered by La Cosa Nostra — Mary Bari in in Brooklyn in the 80s by Greg Scarfa & Teresa Francesa in the 70s by the Luccheses — but it was a rare thing indeed. (Both were suspected of talking to the FBI)

      • Mick January 17, 2023 at 10:22 am #

        G. Gordon Liddy often talked about the mafia because he was a prosecutor in NY during the 60s when it was still very much in business. He said that in many respects the Mafia kept a very tight lid on crime and violence wherever they held sway. They didn’t want the kind of messy nonsense that the south of the border scumbag gangs engenders. Whenever possible they wanted to work with cops rather than stir them up. Of course, that meant many cops were on the take, but it kept hardcore violence down for the innocent public.

        The Mafia only really whacked their enemies, meaning often competition. They were, for the most part, gentleman. Most of them would never even consider killing a wife, a baby, a girlfriend, a mother, a sister, etc…. Or even threatening to do so.

        • MaryQueen January 17, 2023 at 10:46 am #

          They beat their spouses to keep ’em in line, though, there’s plenty of stories about that.

          Horrible domestic abuse and turning their kids into the same sort of sociopath or psychopaths as their dads, whose job was whacking people, intimidating local shop owners, etc.

          It must be a pretty sad state we’ve gotten to when we are nostalgic about how “beneficent” the mafia was.

          Of course, now they just do the same stuff as legit businessmen.

          • JohnAZ January 17, 2023 at 11:41 am #

            They are because the liberal illegal activity, drugs, gambling, prostitution etc. has been made legal by the population as it has grown bluer. For example, how the heck did the home of Barry Goldwater become a Blue state? It is our society that is sick and amoral allowing the Mob to create the Deep State.

          • Mick January 17, 2023 at 11:47 am #

            Well….I didn’t say they were perfect.

            And I did not say “beneficent”. Crime was their business. They just conducted business in a less horrific manner than the cartels south of the border do.

          • MaryQueen January 17, 2023 at 12:06 pm #

            It wasn’t a dig at you, Mick, just saying in general, we do seem to have nostalgia for the mafia since the PTB are such utter monsters, who would have thought it 50 years ago, what we are waking up to understand now? That they want us dead and are poisoning us and messing with our minds daily?

          • Hereward the Woke January 17, 2023 at 3:14 pm #

          • MaryQueen January 17, 2023 at 4:14 pm #

            Hereward, agree. I can concede that those movies were well made and told a good story. I also liked ‘seeing inside’ the mafia. However, I never came away thinking they were anything more than scumbags.

            I saw a lot more glorification of them when The Sopranos came out. It is an amazing series, but it really did get more people glorifying mafioso types.

          • Islander January 17, 2023 at 5:36 pm #

            I have to agree with Jarek on this one.

            The Tribe has been most successful at combining and melding the Underworld and the Overworld, infiltrating the Overworld, and transferring the modus operandi and Weltanschauung of the Underworld to the Overworld. One example of this is the expansion of the charity-NGO as a model of governance, gradually replacing secular government both domestically and internationally. The woke phenomenon is one symptom of this. Jewish communities are run by charities. Now the whole nation, and the planet, is increasing run by undemocratic so-called public-private partnerships/NGOs, which is just another name for a charity with a political agenda.

            Furthermore, the Jewish mob in both its Under- and Overworld modes is most internationally connected, so it’s a two-pincer movement on our domestic constitutionally guaranteed liberties and quality of life.

            Now, add in cartels moving in from Mexico and elsewhere. So far the Mob seems to be OK with the breach of our borders. But what happens when turf wars break out?

            A state that cannot control its borders cannot defend and control its economy nor the rights and status of its citizens.

            Mazel tov!

          • MaryQueen January 17, 2023 at 6:06 pm #

            No one said the mafia controls America. LOL.

          • Jarek January 17, 2023 at 6:34 pm #

            There are things said overtly and things implied. John’s use of the word Mob is simply misleading. He has explained that he doesn’t simply mean the Mafia, yet it always turns people’s attention onto them since they are synonymous in the popular mind.

            An unfortunate choice, even if made unconsciously. As Jung said, much “thinking” is done unconsciously if you want to call it that. He’s not ready to deal with the reality of Jewish power. Very few Whites are.

          • Jarek January 18, 2023 at 1:03 pm #

            No Mary, John said it. As usual you make my point by using mafia to mean Italians.

        • Woodchuck January 17, 2023 at 10:54 am #

          It’s the same deal when you are in a poor neighborhood and there’s an outlaw motorcycle gang clubhouse at the end of the block – a serious outfit like the Hells Angels, East Bay Dragons, Mongols etc. They consider the area around their block to be *their* territory, and just like the police do, they’ll not hesitate from using force if need be to protect and manage their turf. Other gangs and isolated criminals understand its very unwise to tangle with groups the HA (or Crips and Bloods for that matter) so they go somewhere else to do their petty crimes. Aside from the noise they make, a poor neighborhood can actually benefit from having an outlaw biker club in their midst.

          • Mick January 17, 2023 at 12:01 pm #

            Exactly. That was the point that Liddy made and is what he observed during his years as a prosecutor. He said that the general consensus of the DA’s office was that the mafia did a better job of keeping the peace on the streets than the po-po did.

            Now, was their wife abuse? Well, was that JUST a mafia issue? Ha. No. (That was for Mary, not you Woodchuck).

      I wonder why the police put out statements like this, that they KNOW a ‘message is being sent’ before they find out who did it.

      Kinda like the Kohberger murders, if he did it. They said very soon after it happened that it was a targeted murder so no one has to worry, a month and half before they arrested the guy. But he definitely could have murdered again.

      I am guessing they don’t want a panicked public.

      • Mick January 17, 2023 at 11:49 am #

        They know who did it. They probably even know the names of the individual perpetrators.

      • Paula D January 17, 2023 at 11:52 am #

        I can see how an armed gang can wipe out a family.

        But I don’t see how one man can stab four people to death, without them running or overpowering him. Did three of them wait their turn while he stabbed the first one?

        • MaryQueen January 17, 2023 at 12:03 pm #

          Apparently all it takes is one stab to get someone to bleed out if you hit them in the right spot (e.g., neck or lung – so they can’t breathe). And the 4 had been out drinking all night, no doubt sluggish reactions. Who knows though.

          He could be another psyops. Wouldn’t surprise me. It seems lots of these massacres are occurring in ‘sleepy little towns’ without any history of this sort of thing.

            Well, they might have been, although very close to when the murders allegedly occurred, they had ordered door dash. So I can’t imagine they had eaten and then passed out that quickly? Who knows, though. I will say, the stuff they did leak to the press was very contradictory.

      • Jarek January 17, 2023 at 4:14 pm #

    Wow, what is going on with our resident Liberals?

    Ever notice that they never, ever talk politics, talk about issues, debate policy, offer support for the Left side, acknowledge the Right when they are correct.

    They are in attack mode, all the time. They do not attack Politics either, they attack people, they constantly use name calling to attack other CFNers. They NEVER have anything to offer.

    Think back to the days in the sandbox. How did the bullies act, attack, name call, whining, narcissists being created. Most luckily get the shit beat out of them at some point to give them perspective. Others turn into hide bound Liberals, to get their power drive sated. They never do and thus never grow up.

    Are they hackers, trying to represent their Liberal friends by their name calling attacks? Are they bots created by some Liberal organization to dilute conservative blogs with their tripe? They certainly are NOT intelligent rational people trying to logically explain their viewpoints. They never do.

    Proof of the pudding, RL and RR, let us have a discussion about how the flooding of America with excess money, called tax and spend policies, and the resulting inflation, just math, are good for America.

      • JohnAZ January 17, 2023 at 3:36 pm #

        Liberalism = lack of ambition =Gimme

        What characterizes a Liberal is the desire for someone else to think for you and work for you, usually the government but charities too.

        Remember when being indebted to someone was a social no-no, charity was an insult to pride.

        Boy, no longer. It does not help, however, that the people who are homeless are being made that way by government policies and lack of fiscal integrity.

        I think about the open border and the millions of immigrants. How many are ending up on the street? How many American citizens are ending up on the street because of economic competition from folks willing to work for nothing? These people are here because Biden has promised them Eden on Earth. I wonder how many go back because America is a lie.

The only way to win there is to become coolies or bring back the Unions in the biggest possible way – except that the Unions are on the side of the immigrants!

          We faced this nightmare before and made the right decision: The Chinese Exclusion Act. The United States was to be for White Europeans only.

          As a Cappy (Capitalist), you’re always going to be on the wrong side of things, ultimately.

          That said, if we are going to keep this a binary, many modern conservatives are no better — they simply take the road of the grifter.

          What unites both of these groups is the idea of getting something for nothing.

            Two, open border, get all those folks up here whose lack of success in Latin America, Middle East and Africa will spread to here.

    • riverrunner January 17, 2023 at 11:38 pm #

      Gee JAZ, I dunno but maybe because CFN has been taken over by literal batshit insanity. You have a Nazi that frequently posts here. You have folks that approve of a murderous dictator, aka the Vladhumpers. You have people that approve of domestic terrorists like Alex Jones and claim that Sandy Hook was ‘just psyops.’ The morally bankruptcy is sickening at times but I’ll continue…climate change and covid is just a hoax, people that can’t understand data claiming that excess deaths are related to something blah, blah, blah called the ‘clot shot.’ It’s a daily hit parade of gross stupidity and ignorance that is truly staggering. Nearly everything posted by Jarek, you, Night Owl, Q is an embarrassing indictment of our education system. Q seems to think posting links from ‘organiclifestylemagazine’ is more legit than say CNN or the BBC. Ok Q. Y’all claim to be ‘independent’ thinkers but your just cherrypicking information from the worst people on the internet, and seemingly, you don’t really know it or are simply too lazy to dig any deeper. So….in the end, it doesn’t matter at all if we engage because your minds are so deformed by staring at a computer screen da in and day out ‘researching’ bullshit that confirms your bias. So…yeah JAZ, grow the fuck up and gain some perspective. Or maybe, you’ll have the shit beat out of you in a sandbox while you play with your toys.

      • JohnAZ January 18, 2023 at 12:12 am #

          What they want to do is stop the plebes from freely accessing the internet.

          Obama talks about it all the time.

          You won’t be allowed to surf the internet unless you sign in with Big Brother, with a certified identity that allows them to track everything you read or write.

          This will be tied to your social credit score and possibly to legal repercussions if you engage in WrongThink.

          The liberals are being trained to accept this as a great idea, because they align themselves with the Official Narrative and want to punish those who refuse to swallow the propaganda.

    That’s why they call it “Programming”

    Mickey Z.
    Jan 16

    “As of 2016, more than 300 police dramas and more than 100 medical dramas have aired on U.S. networks, cable, and syndicated television.

    This admittedly incomplete list doesn’t count the last six years’ worth of programs and the recent introduction of the streaming series. It also does not factor in comedies, cartoons, news specials, etc.

    Yes, from a very young age, the screen-addicted masses are reared on a steady supply of propaganda.

    Translation: Pop culture, social media, and the full range of corporate news sources are very, very useful delivery systems for indoctrination, encouraging conformity, and keeping existing paradigms strong.”

    • Mick January 17, 2023 at 12:57 pm #

      The overwhelming number of cop shows is a tell. And every cop show for the last, oh I don’t know….30 years, has to have at least one scene of a swat team kicking down doors and swarming homes decked out as black attired storm troopers with huge guns drawn.

      The message is, “See this is very necessary to get the bad guys! It’s for your safety”.

      And there is so much more to the mind controlling propaganda in these cop shows.

      Oh, and the decade of the war on terror’s genesis we had the show “24”, which normalized and glorified torture to “find out the next attack”.

      • MaryQueen January 17, 2023 at 4:08 pm #

      Translation: Pop culture, social media, and the full range of corporate news sources are very, very useful delivery systems for indoctrination, encouraging conformity, and keeping existing paradigms strong.”

      Keeping existing paradigms strong is the thing. TV came along and we got cop shows and westerns. Cop shows and westerns because that is what pulp fiction and dime novels had been about for 100 years.

      Short stories and novelettes were adapted to the screen. There was no sudden burst of creativity. Same stories different medium.

      When young we think things are bright and new. We don ‘t realize everything adults do is a remix of earlier generations. Rarely is there anything new under the sun. Everybody is always ripping everybody else off and calling it their own.

      • Anthea January 18, 2023 at 9:33 am #

        @ K-Chien:

        To tell you the truth, I don’t know much of anything about what kinds of short stories and novelettes were in circulation prior to television. The only author I know of who falls into that category is Louis L’Amour–whose stories probably were the inspiration for a lot of TV Westerns. Plus L’Amour did write the Hopalong Cassidy stories, though he denied it.

        Now that I think of it Heinlein is another author of the pre-TV era. There was a least one “space cadet”-type TV show in the 1950s, but I can’t remember the name of the show. Heinlein’s early works (which were mainly juvenile books) don’t resemble any TV science fiction that I’ve ever seen.

        Another author from that era would be Dorothy Parker, but I don’t think I ever read anything of hers. And maybe O. Henry counts, though he goes back to around the turn of the century.

        I guess not too many of us are into the light reading of the early 20th Century.

        But you do make an interesting point.

    News of the day: Little Greta was carried away by police at a German coal mine protest. Where is she getting the money to travel for such protests? Shouldn’t she be in school? I’d arrest her and charge her with truancy.

    Furthermore, when her own nation, Sweden, starts to mine its newly discovered cache of rare earth minerals, many of which are necessary to build the clean energy collecting machinery, will she show up there?

        Indeed, given the arrest being staged, now Greta can join the likes of AOC and her “arrest” on the steps of the Supreme Court.

        And in response to above comments, I love a good female body as much as the next guy. I appreciate the beauty of the species; however, it has to be the right person and in the right context. Greta to me is a non-human, laying with her or looking upon her, to me, would be no different than an inanimate robot creature.

    WHY OH WHY didn’t I know about the Twitter auction before now??

    I could have posted something about it on Monday and now its Tuesday night.

    Well, if anyone sees this, Elon Musk was not kidding when he strode in to Twitter HQ carrying a kitchen sink his first day at the office.

    The auction ends in 17 hours and is being hosted by Heritage Global Partners. hgpauction dot com

    It’s hilarious! There are 300 lots of goods including:

    several football field’s worth of mid century modern furniture that looks like it came from the TV set of “Friends”

    several restaurant’s worth of industrial grade stainless steel appliances, huge hulking things, including a dozen or more espresso makers (one has a starting bid of $11,000)

    untold amounts of fancy office appropriate lounging furniture (no actual chairs for actually working at a desk were on offer, in fact no actual desks were offered), but loads of custom conference tables, conference room chairs etc. The theme is industrial rustic.

    several lots of multiple boxes of masks, the largest was a lot of 70,000 masks

    a neon twitter sign with a starting bid of $20,000

    untold number of lots of unopened boxes of “stuff”. Who the hell ran their Procurement Department?

    untold number of lots of audio visual and other related equipment. I quit counting the number of “sound proof phone booths” after I found five. They retail for around $5,000

    And on and on. I’ve just lost a half hour of my life, but it was funnier than hell. I kept expecting Elon to photo bomb some of the pictures, but he never showed.

    • SoftStarLight January 18, 2023 at 2:00 am #

Such a wasteful company it was. Like him or hate him (I’m in between), Elon is doing his best to right-size the organization, cut overhead costs, and purge the culture of censoring its users. I’ve said before he will eventually sell the company for a profit, we’ll see.

          Yeah I am amazed at the massive amount of furniture for one. Do you know how many employees were at HQ in the heyday? It had to be thousands given the literal volume of items on sell it would seem. And yes you are right. These people were very very spoiled to be such nasty people all day lol.

            I’ve read different numbers, but I think they had 7,500 employees globally and Musk fired about 3,500 – 4,000.

      Well, I see a couple of Eames chairs.

      The rest of the stuff I saw (in a brief flyover, to be sure) that I saw is run-of-the-mill office furnishings, nothing special.

      Starting bids are ridiculous.

      You can get coffee tables etc. at the local thrift shop for $75.

        Islander,

        You missed the best lots. And seeing some of the ridiculous brand names (Restoration Hardware, Room & Board) is telling. Taken in it’s totality; it shows the self-importance Twitter and its employees shared.

    Greta Thunberg’s “arrest” was completely staged for the cameras.

      thanks for the link.

      Yesterday I posted something that got lost in the “Database Error” maze.

      Briefly:
      Greta Thunberg is autistic. She should have been in special schools rather than hauled around the world to shake her finger at it and give performances of outrage with her screwed up little face.

      She is a Rothschild descendant, and it is possible that Rothschild money funds Greta’s constant CO2-spewing globetrotting.

      The whole thing is theater on a planetary scale.’

      The rubes don’t think to ask who really profits from this. Not the “ff” companies.

      The Daily Sceptic’s excellent Chris Morrison has a story about a recent paper debunking the CO2 madness.

      Here is a link to the abstract and to a pdf of the paper itself:

      httpX://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jsd/article/view/0/47745

      Here is the abstract:

      Abstract
      The emphasis on a false climate crisis is becoming a tragedy for modern civilization, which depends on relible, economic, and environmentally viable energy. The windmills, solar panels and backup batteries have none if these qualities. This falsehood is pushed by a powerful lobby which Bjorn Lomborg has called a climate industrial complex, comprising some scientists, most media, industrialists, and legislators. It has somehow managed to convince many that CO2 in the atmosphere, a gas necessary for life on earth, one which we exhale with every breath, is an environmental poison. Multiple scientific theories and measurements show that there is no climate crisis. Radiation forcing calculations by both skeptics and believers show that the carbon dioxide radiation forcing is about 0.3% of the incident radiation, far less than other effects on climate. Over the period of human civilization, the temperature has oscillated between quite a few warm and cold periods, with many of the warm periods being warmer than today. During geological times, it and the carbon dioxide level have been all over the place with no correlation between them.

        This is extremely interesting. Thank you for posting.

        The one issue I can never get a devout climate change worshipper to address is this:

        If the planet has experienced periods of warmer temperatures and periods of cooler temperatures over time, is it significant that these occurred when there wasn’t a single internal combustion engine on the planet? It’s extremely significant because it demonstrates that the planet’s natural state (without interference from man) is a state of constant change. Why would humans want to disrupt this? What damage could humans do to the planet by trying to disrupt this naturally occurring phenomenon?

        Nobody has ever tried to answer why we have fallen into and fallen out of several ice ages before humans even discovered oil.

        The people on this blog know climate change is a swindle for a vast array of reasons. But this simple point puts it on a level that even the swindled can’t refute.

          I like the warning YouTube tags to every video regarding climate:

          “Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, mainly caused by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels.”

          This explanation apparently comes from the UN, so you know it’s gotta be true.

          “Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns…” Ok, sounds like a clear definition…

          “…mainly caused by human activities…” Wait a minute. We have had climate, and therefore climate change, on this planet for something like 3.5 billion years now. So all the terrible climatic episodes of the past – we are responsible for that too?

          “…especially the burning of fossil fuels.” And we did it all in the last ~160 years – since kerosene began to take the place of whale oil (which is not, thankfully, a fossil fuel).

          And yet I expect most people – not Clusterfuckers of course – would read YouTube’s UN-directed right-think and see nothing wrong with it, and might even start parroting it.

          Climate always changes, sometimes good for some species, sometimes bad for others. Oxygen levels have also changed; CO2 levels as well – during the dinosaur ages, it was a lot higher than now. It took a space rock to do in the dinos.

          I was just reading an article about environmentalism. It is a complicated issue. For instance, everybody likes old forest growths and wants to preserve them. Most people don’t realize that keeping them is bad for warblers. Environmental activism is almost always a trade-off. Who are we to say which species should die and which shall survive?

          Maybe we should stay out of the climate business and let nature take its course. Life has always gotten along without us for the past few billion years.

            Too often environmentalists try to force “an environment” into a Utopia that it never was, and that is impossible to sustain under the current environmental conditions.

            Lake Worth Lagoon, between the barrier island of Palm Beach, and the verdant urban sprawl of West Palm Beach, is flooded with sediment-laden fresh water drained from what used to be the Everglades. A couple suggestions by top-level environmental scientists on how to increase salinity in the lagoon: truck in salt, run pipes with one-way valves under Palm Beach to flush sea water into the lagoon. All to recreate a lagoon that never was. Historically it was a stagnant lake, only occasionally flushed out by a hurricane ripping an inlet through the barrier island.

            On the other hand, Kirtland’s warbler (Setophaga kirtlandii) has such exacting breeding habitat requirements – jack pine (Pinus banksiana) stands with trees ranging from 6 to 12 feet tall, clumps of trees with open spaces – not too open, not too clumpy – that it probably wouldn’t survive without human intervention. Those jack pine stands were typically maintained by wildfire, a force of nature unpopular with lumber companies and cabin owners.

            I think it is important to preserve the natural world, but management frequently means letting nature take its course.

            Well said, BB.

            It is also amazing to see that some habitats or environments, once left alone, return to their natural state of being fairly quickly. A lot of Illinois was swampland, for instance. I’d love to see that return.

          • Islander January 18, 2023 at 5:21 pm #

            Blackbird, I had not heard of Lake Worth lagoon.

            I read up a bit at Wiki and at the website for the management plan.

            From what I read it seems possible that lake Worth Lagoon was actually on its way to becoming some different type of feature if “Westerners” had not intervened to turn it into a lagoon (with an outlet to the ocean). Perhaps it would have gradually filled in and become a swamp or even dry land. Or perhaps a big storm would have come along and swept away part of the barrier beach. Anyway, a “stagnant lake” is also a natural environment with its own ecology . . .
            Now I guess man is in charge, and it sounds like they are trying to make the best, from an ecological point of view, that they can with the current situation. It may that the “lagoon” will never “flush” effectively because tidal flows are not strong enough, or flow the wrong direction in that spot.

            We have a (genuine) lagoon situation in my town. The barrier beach has been turned in to a causeway but a sizable inlet was left. The tide boils through there—fun to watch from a pedestrian walkway that goes under the bridge, and sometimes the bigger fish are really jumping as they pursue baitfish that swarm through with the tide. Also, you can see plenty of birds such as loons etc. hunting what the tides bring in and out.

            The reason I mention this is that a natural inflow point at the western end of the Lagoon has been closed up/filled in since mid-19th century. Consequently the western arm does not flush effectively,which affects the water quality of the whole Lagoon. The Mass DoE has suggested building a culvert to facilitate flushing of the western arm. This is not going to happen because now a big “operations support” infrastructure for offshore wind farms is being built on the harbor side, just where the culvert should go.

            Responding to “climate change” trumps ecological restoration and getting out of the way of natural forces.

            Climate always changes..yes, nature is ever in flux.

            when is the next Ice Age?

          • Blackbird January 18, 2023 at 7:45 pm #

            Islander, the Lake Worth Lagoon is connected to the ocean by two inlets, and they aren’t going away any time soon. It is also connected to large, seasonal deluges of freshwater through canals, primarily the C-51. Those canals aren’t going away either. “Restoration” or “enhancement” of the lagoon needs to recognize and work within those constraints. Too many “scientists” don’t seem to recognize this. This is just one example of scientists violating scientific procedure, and naturalists attempting to force nature.

            Next week I’ll rant about reintroducing wolves to Isle Royale.

            Malt, according to real climate scientists, we are currently in the interglacial period of an ice age – and headed back down to the cold part.

            I guess you didn’t read my comment.

            As I stated, I read quite a bit on the Lake Worth Lagoon. After reading quite a lot of the management plan, I wrote that it looks like they are doing the best they can with what *is there now.*

            I didn’t say anything about the inlets or the canals “going anywhere soon.” What in the world moves you to make such an absurd statement, supposedly in response to mine?

            So, yeah, guess you didn’t read my comment.
