Beach boy “Joe Biden” will be well-rested when the plan for his impeachment rolls out after Labor Day. Just because you’re not hearing any news about it now, with the county fairs on all over the USA, and the pols busy scarfing corn-dogs and kissing heifers, doesn’t mean that the key players aren’t confabbing among themselves. Hey, have you noticed, you’re hardly hearing about anything else these dwindling days of summer, either? Got any idea what’s up with that war in Ukraine? Of course you don’t.
A preview for you then: Rep James Comer’s House Oversight Committee has already assembled a bundle of evidence tracking the exact ways and means of how the Biden family’s global bribery operation worked. That includes the bank records, the emails and deal memos, the chronology of meetings, the FBI documents, the phone recordings, the photos of “JB” schmoozing with Hunter’s “clients,” and the famous video of “Joe Biden” bragging onstage at the Council on Foreign Relations about how he strong-armed Ukraine President Poroshenko into firing General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin.
Next, Speaker McCarthy has to form an actual impeachment inquiry committee. (If he tries to demur, there could be a new Speaker of the House in short order.) That committee will entertain witnesses, including figures in Justice Department who have been reluctant to discuss these matters previously. This might entail a Part B of the inquiry: the blatant obstructions of justice by DOJ officials in the long-running case on various charges against Hunter Biden, as supervised by federal attorney in Delaware, now Special Counsel, David Weiss. Mr. Weiss dawdled so strenuously for five years that he let the statute of limitations run out on the major tax evasion charges, while he ignored all the allegations of Hunter’s FARA violations in seeking money from officials of many foreign governments.
There’s reason to believe that botching that case was well-coordinated with help from the Biden family DOJ “mole,” one Alexander S. Mackler, who had served as Senator Joe Biden’s press secretary in 2007-08, was campaign manager in 2010 for the Senator’s son, Beau Biden (deceased 2015), when he ran for Delaware Attorney General, and from 2014-16 was Deputy Counsel to Veep Joe Biden. Mr. Mackler was later inserted into the Delaware US attorney’s office as a prosecutor under David Weiss, from August 2016 to May 2019, while Hunter B’s case was under investigation. Did he function as the Bidens’ consigliere? Mr. Mackler was logged-in as a White House visitor five times after “Joe Biden” came to occupy it in 2021. Mr. Mackler is alleged to be currently serving as Chief Deputy Attorney General of Delaware (since 2019), but his name has been scrubbed by the agency’s website. See for yourself: https://attorneygeneral.delaware.gov
Perhaps all this will be reserved for the separate impeachments of Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Wray. Bribery, racketeering, and treason may be enough for a presidential impeachment. Would the gravity of an impeachment proceeding override witnesses’ refusal to testify on the grounds of “an ongoing investigation?” How could it not, if those investigations are themselves a subject of the inquiry? Would the mainstream news media ignore the spectacle to suppress it? They can try, and then maybe we’ll get a test of how irrelevant they’ve become. The House will surely televise the proceedings. There are too many other alt.channels that will broadcast impeachment hearings, probably led by X (formerly Twitter).
All of which raises the question: will “Joe Biden” really endure this ordeal? Or will the next thirty days be his window for exiting the scene? He is, after all, a mere prop in a show directed by others. Those others would include Barack Obama, who could easily be dragged into an inquiry about the Biden family’s criminal adventures in global money-grubbbing when Joe was Veep. How is it possible that President Obama didn’t know what the Bidens were up to? (The Intel Community can’t be that incompetent.) You see how ugly this thing could get?
So far, the cabal running the “Joe Biden” show has avoided nuclear war as a distraction from what is hands-down the worst scandal in American history, way worse than Watergate. The four absurd Trump prosecutions are all ginned-up now, but may have peaked for distraction power — months of dull procedural wrangling lie ahead. An awful lot of rumors are pinging around lately about a new Covid-19 operation to be sprung on the public any day, with the usual kit of masks, lockdowns, and mandatory vaccinations. Do you really think Americans will comply with another round of this malicious nonsense? Fuggeddabowdit.

In April, 2023, Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) Kathie Breault was indicted in the Eastern States District Federal Court for “Conspiracy to Defraud the United States” for giving vaccination cards to people who did not receive Covid-19 vaccinations. Her defense is that the vaccinations were ineffective and harmful, and to administer them would violate the Hippocratic oath of health professionals (First do no harm). Her legal battle against a dishonest and vindictive federal government will require lawyer’s fees that exceed her ability to pay — a reminder that “the process is the punishment.”
Kathie has also been accused of “professional misconduct” by the New York State Licensing Board for prescribing Ivermectin via telehealth visits in July 2021. Many other medical practitioners across the United States have been similarly persecuted and some have lost their licenses to practice. Kathie has been under investigation by New York’s Office of Professional Discipline since March 2022. No decision has been reached as of May 2023.

Greetings,
I do not expect anything from the Republicans other than a sternly worded letter. Sad but true.
Yes its Kabuki theatre.
A kid stealing an ice cream in Mississippi has a better chance of going to jail than a US politician being treasonous and defrauds the taxpayer of billions of dollars.
Yes, but if the kid stole the ice cream from Dumbass Biden during a photo-op, he’d be a national hero.
Touche
Same.
Is the deep state really gonna let a handful of people bring them down and expose their operations?
I don’t think that’s bloody likely.
Comer better have some good bodyguards. Ones that are not easily bribed or coerced.
No, the deep state will be brought down by 100-lb hailstones, the fresh water turning to blood, a third of all grasses being burnt up, a good part of arable farmland being inundated by the resulting tsunami from Apophis’ crash into the Pacific in April 2029, three days of darkness, demon locusts that have the power to hurt men (but not kill them) for 5 months (why 5 months)? Because they’re the disembodied spirits of the giants who died in the flood, and it took the strongest and biggest 5 months to die. So that’s their revenge. All that and more!
Tuco,
Who put the “schat” in eschatology?
Just remember that the Old Testament God was a real kidder. When the Hebrews complained of their food while in the wilderness, he sent them…bug guano to eat.
Eat ze Bugs!
No, he sent them manna, but they got sick of that and complained (they always complained!) about it, so God sent them quail, which they promptly gorged on and got sick.
Tuco,
Yes…and manna was/is the droppings from a particular wood louse that infest tamarack trees. God was just tired of their damned kvetching….
@ elysianfield:
It is the tamarisk that you are referring to, not the tamarack. The tamarack is a boreal deciduous conifer, also known as the larch. It grows in very cold northerly climates. They are common in the northern US and Canada.
Anthea,
You say risk, I say rack…let’s call the whole thing off….
Thank you for the correction…
@tuco22
The Reality Train is charging down the track. With each rotation of its wheels it accelerates toward the Grand Canyon where there never was a bridge in the first place. Yesterday the USA, using its NATO front and one of the Baltic state minnows, directly attacked an airbase deep inside Russia. There are no more way stations on the Escalation Line. The next one is the use of a tactical nuclear weapon in the insane belief that Russia will shrug it off and surrender.
The world is at greater danger of an all out nuclear war than it has ever been since Homo Destructivus crawled out from under a rock on the seashore.The danger comes from the fact that the dying Empire is ruled by a degenerate cabal that is clinically insane. Call it the One Indispensable Nation, the European Union, The Deep State, or The Sons of Stephan Bandera, the depth of its insanity is such that it ratchets up its level of provocation with each opportunity.
The US/NATO has lost its war in the Ukraine to Russia. Our only hope is that the USA will employ it’s vast propaganda resources in the Orwellian project of convincing its domesticated subjects that Defeat is Victory and adopt the Afghanistan solution to turn tail and run. Russia has no need to conquer the dying Empire with the force of arms. Fentanyl, spike protein miscarriages, fake food, and living in a filthy tent on the sidewalk will do it for them.
Exactly. Republicans are part of the same swamp. They have no interest in changing things. They will try to use this talk of impeachment to fundraise, though as the Republican Party fades away I don’t think they are raising much $.
They can’t even put up a viable candidate for the presidency. Trump is out because even if by some miracle he wins the election, they’ll never let him have a successful term, it’ll be a repeat of the first time only on steroids. Or they’ll assassinate him. I think DeSantis comes across as too authoritarian for most middle-of-the-road, go-along-to-get-along Americans, who don’t necessarily disagree with much of what he stands for, but don’t want it publicly known in case they have to switch in the middle of the river, so to speak. So who does that leave?
Ramaswamy
I’m really impressed with Vivek Ramaswamy. He is brilliant, able to speak at length on any topic without pause at a length not achieved by any politician since Fidel Castro. It is almost as if he had run every concern of the American public through a Cray computer running the latest AI program and had it print out his electoral platform.
And then one begins to investigate how he became wealthy enough to run for the presidency. He bought a company that held the patent on a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Got a very good deal on it because it had failed every test and never brought a product to market. As part of his purchase he also got the test results that were the basis for it’s denial. With a bit of creative re-writing (reportedly done by his mother!) he “developed” a new product and started the well-know Wall Street practice of pumping the stock. He sold almost all of his shares the day before the news caught up with it and the stock’s value crashed in the direction of zero. But not before he became a multi-billionaire.
This story really needs an investigative reporter of the quality of Whitney Webb to sink her teeth into it and turn it from story into documented history!
What it looks like at this point is that Ramaswarmy looked around after pulling off his pump and dump scam, and said “If rich investors are so easily fooled, why not pull the same game on the entire American public”? Sell them the Truth and give them the Shaft!
Vivek Ramaswamy
LOL.
Clamoring for a WEF puppet. This really is priceless.
Vivek made his money with the classic Wall Street move known as the pump-n-dump.
He bought an Alzheimer’s drug from Glaxo that had failed 4 tests – bought the tests too. Never conducted another test, just re-wrote the old test results to make the drug look promising when it was an abject failure and never made it to market. Vivek took the test results his mom – no kidding, his mom – re-wrote and used those results for an IPO soliciting investors to the tune of over a billion dollars, knowing all along the drug did not work.
He sold his stock right before the drug was turned down again. The price of the stock plummeted when the drug failed to gain certification. So he pumped up the price of the stock and dumped it all right before the price went in the commode.
Smooth move. Now he’s on stage talking about how he’s going to make America great again. He’s got a great smile and a good line of BS, just like his MAGA predecessor. I don’t trust him as far as I can throw Chris Christie.
C.O. Jones,
Thank you for this. I have been too lazy to research much about Ramaswamy and now I will do it. If what you say is true, and I’m not doubting you, then he is a prototypical member of the continually evil pharmaceutical apparatus that infects this planet.
elysianfield: I beg to differ. They were often in places without tamarack trees, anyway. And why didn’t it fall on the sabbath day if it was just insect droppings?
the biblical manna comes from the secretion of insects on the branches of tamarisk trees, which to this day grow in the wadis of the southern Sinai mountains. Bodenheimer has suggested a similar explanation of the origin of the manna. Two genera of coccidae parasitize on tamarisk trees of the species Tamarix mannifera. On those growing in the Arabah Valley, in the lowlands of the southern Negev, and in Sinai, there are large numbers of the coccus Najacoccus serpentinus minon, which is covered with a pocket in the form of an elongated tube in which it lays its eggs. Another coccus, the Tradutina mannipara, lays its eggs in a cone-like pocket. These two coccidae extract the sap, rich in carbohydrates, of the branches of the tamarisk, the excess carbohydrates which their bodies cannot absorb being excreted in the form of drops of transparent liquid that congeal into white globules,
We can agree to disagree.
There have been innumerable archeological surveys to find physical remnants of the Exodus-none have been found .
Sorry, the Exodus is a myth-i that many people had travelled years in the desert there would be physical manifestations.
@CANUK
Really and why would that be?
A people wandering with nothing but the clothes on their backs over 2,000 years ago.
Doubtful much will be left.
I have seen single lane roads be all but absorbed in fifty years and entire buildings and structures all but disappear in a 100.
Wow, EF, I have always heard the expression “manna from heaven” and assumed it was something good.
Now you have officially blown my mind. Bug shit? That’s worse than the WEF offerings.
Exodus 16:4 states that God gave the Israelites manna from heaven.
If you don’t believe what the bible says, it would be easy to believe manna was really bug poop and that Jesus walked on the water because it was low tide.
Demanding scientific proof of a people’s journey thru the desert is a little silly. Kinda like demanding scientific proof of God’s existence. I will pray you find Him.
By the way, the journey that took the Israelites 40 years could have been made in 6 weeks if not for their unbelief.
Peace.
Deuteronomy 8:3
He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.
CO,
This is what I believe;
“Hard times, THEY SAY, will make a monkey eat red peppers…”
This is true, Nicklethrower, but if that letter is worded a little too strongly a visit can be expected from the FBI or the local PD, an IRS audit will commence, and personal computers and cell phones siezed.
…And your dog shot….
Ain’t it a great country? Keep voting for those elected representatives!
Bingo. What does the word “impeach” even mean anymore? It sounds like it means to kick out. And indeed it once meant that. Now it just means to censure and reprimand. Trump got it impeached too – twice, wasn’t it? So what?
Biden’s not going anywhere until if and when the Uniparty decide to remove him.
?makes me really angry!
Agree 100% Jarek.
I will faint if Trump’s boy McCarthy moves forward with impeachment.
That’s not how the deep-state behaves. It’s against the secret handshake code and all unless, of course it’s prearranged. Biden is not the punching bag. Donny is.
Impeach just means to accuse…
Expect not, receive not. Thus, you are as complicit in America’s unraveling as those who are expected to comply with the rumoured new lockdown measures.
Instead, you SHOULD expect it. You SHOULD demand it. Or haven’t you been reading between the lines of what JHK writes? Where have you been?
Trump’s “crime” essentially amounts to asking for a re-count on the 2020 election. What next?
Meanwhile, Trump is making millions selling items with his mugshot on them.
Do you really think Americans will comply with another round of this malicious nonsense? Fuggeddabowdit.
Malicious nonsense has, indeed, been completely forgotten about. It did not take long.
I see a lot of pre-compliance masking out there already. Almost like they’ve got a mind meld thing going on. When it comes right down to it, a large portion the American populace actually prefers to live in fear and be told what to do every minute of the day by the so-called “experts.” 75 years+ of behavioral conditioning will do that for you.
The Florida Surgeon General public recommends non-compliance with masking and lockdowns.
That’s not just Americans, and there are other countries even worse than ours about that.
Safety first!!!!! That’s the mantra. “Peace and safety” will be what they’re saying when “sudden destruction shall come upon them.”
tuco – “I just want to be safe.”
When I called a friend in Pittsburgh to tell him the clot-shot killed my brother, that was what he said to me. He told me he was “getting the shot tomorrow.”
He was dead in a week. Keeled over playing bocce. No previous heart issues or any health issues to speak of for that matter.
Died suddenly but peacefully was how his obituary read. Great guy, funny man, smart guy. Dead guy.
Exactly Dis!!
Stupidification and immigrant overrun have combined to change the spirit of the American people. The majority of the American people. Sloth and gimme rules the mentality of Joe Average nowadays.
How do you change that situation when the political framework depends on the majority?
A question for the 2020s and 2030s.
You don’t change it. The only remedy is destruction.
There is a big difference between Red and Blue states regarding enforcement of any federal mandates.
That is why I wish Desantis would stay where he is, a burr under the Deep State blanket.
Governors in Red states could foment the necessary rebellion.
Like it John.
You forget about the grinding discipline of capitalism: Every person has to be well washed and smelling good and be at a certain place at a certain time (job) to start taking orders from a very local tyrant (boss).
Sloth? Nope. Freedom? Nope. The grind that grinds men down into dust.
The Revolutionaries were a different type all entirely. They didn’t beg for time off so they could fight a war. They were their own men. Do such still exist today? Yes, but they are very hard pressed by the Capitalism that now has no need or place for them.
@Jarek: Hallelujah! My feelings exactly.
Yeah, Jarek. Right on!
1965
And you really thought the Pandemic of Fear was over once the Corona Virus had mutated into a form where it was only as dangerous as the seasonal flu, but the common cold as well? Line up for your new death clot to prevent the common sniffles!
Mass psychosis is not so easily curable. Especially not by facts and logic. For those affected by Brain Parasites (or spike protein intrusion across the blood/brain barrier) it is much more comfortable to just Believe, and follow the instructions of the Experts even though you know they are lying.
Joe Diaper Brain has just submitted a 40 billion dollar budget initiative for the development of a new genetic attack on “everybody”. As MQ points out, the un-elected “leaders” of the EU are already ahead of the OBiden Brain Trust in developing Universal Mandate protocols to control travel, access to food, and enforced compliance. To say nothing of the Chinese, who pioneered and tested the idea of regulation by Social Credit Score.
In the US, many will protest vigorously by swiping their Magic Phones. But when it comes down to it, they will support the OBiden Crime Family to prevent Orange Jesus from ever being released from prison even if he receives 70% of the actual vote. Give up their Hospital Privileges and doctor’s income by standing up for the Hippocratic Oath? Never!
So add up the domestic EU herds, countries in Latin America and Canada that were even more “vaccine” subservient than the US, along with the 40% of the US voters who have incurable Biden Brain, and you have a majority—- not only of the means of Propaganda but the means of violence to enforce their pogroms.
Gil Scott-Heron said it right: “The Revolution Will Not be Televised”
“In the US, many will protest vigorously by swiping their Magic Phones. But when it comes down to it, they will support the OBiden Crime Family to prevent Orange Jesus from ever being released from prison even if he receives 70% of the actual vote. Give up their Hospital Privileges and doctor’s income by standing up for the Hippocratic Oath? Never!”
I’m afraid you’re right.
The newly appointed “alcohol czar” has declared that there will be a limit on alcohol consumption. Do you suppose they intend to enforce that via social credit score?
Imagine placing your 12 pack on the counter, inserting your debit card – or placing your hand under the scanner – only to be told you already bought beer once this week, come back next week.
I no longer drink but that would make me start.
Thor, well said. I concur on one provision: that Les McCann/Eddie Harris “Compared to What” (live from Montreux, ’69 — it’s on YouTube of course) immediately follow Scott-Heron’s performance. Both/all were not so much ahead of their time, as we as a Nation are centrifugally trapped and, by now, halfway right down the drainpipe.
Ummm… pre-forgotten?
I was referring different malicious nonsense that has been forgotten toute suite.
Actually, yes, I do expect them to comply with another round of lockdowns, masking, social distancing, etc. Most of them don’t believe in any higher power than Washington, DC, so of course, they’ll do as they’re told.
Not a day goes by during which I do not see people with masks, usually cloth masks, walking around, driving with the windows up, going food shopping, etc.
They never stopped, after all, one can’t be taking reckless chances.
They form the base for the next mask/lockdown/social distancing fear event.
Never mind a virus has never been isolated and then have the isolation process be repeated numerous times by different individuals in separate locations.
Fear rules.
“fear event.” Boy you got that right~
How about “Fear Based Promotion “…
All the soap-operas surrounding the various oval office players are side-shows, and the real drama, in my op, is the breakdown of this whole civilizational ship, on the rocks of present and worsening energy scarcity and ecological damage.
The Great Reset plans and orchestrations are also a bit of a sideshow to this shipwreck… so much ultimately impotent screaming, scheming and backstabbing on the deck, so much flooding of the peasant cabin-area, as the boat goes down.
Thank you, Jim, for putting out this platform to watch events from, and for your constantly elevated perspective. Cheerio, CFN.
The Elite see the same thing you do. But unlike you they are in a position to do something about it – namely, killing off most of humanity and transforming the rest into sub-human drones and droids.
Too bad you weren’t born among them, eh? You’re part of a population overshoot, vrodneck. So am I. It sucks but the universe doesn’t care. Maybe God does, but He is silent. Death creeps in on little cat feet.
Sure, we’re all overshoots. But, knowledge and truth matter, and the games are just beginning.
No, today’s elites are not in a position to do much, and I have no affection or jealousy towards them. They’re dead in the water.
If anyone/anyone’s genetic lines have good longterm survival chances, they are 99.99% more likely to be from today’s proletariat.
I just watched video where someone said that he recently attended a meeting of some sort by a group of elites, in which their number one concern was, “How do I keep my guards from killing me, once I’m bunkered up?” The suggested solution was robo-dogs mounted with machine guns (instead of human guards).
What happens when their batteries go dead?
Lmao.
With AI and machines and machine learning, even the servant class
needed by ‘them’ is to be small.
Marginally related to the mention of the new variant of the disease never shown to actually exist, I see that the Biden admin. is now moving to drastically reduce and potentially ban consumption of alcohol.
I myself down quite a few Trappist beers and Hefeweizens during the week, and have long found beer to do me good (not talking about getting drunk).
Given what we have experienced these past few years, I do wonder what it is about alcoholic beverages that the technocrats don’t want us getting?
😀
It’s all about control. Prohibition was tried before and you know how that turned out.
Fortunately, I brew my own beer, so there is no record of beer purchased by me.
Nice.
In Ireland till the 1990’s Irish doctors would prescribe one pint of Guinness a day to pregnant women-there’s alot more autistic kids now than then-why is that? Hmmn
Maybe the Irish doctors were onto something at least insofar as the mental health of the women was concerned. Just today in ZH a story broke on new Autism research raising grave doubts about the presumed genetic cause. (apologies for the off-topic diversion so early in the week..).
“An extensive meta-analysis of 25 autism studies could shift the focus of research into the cause of autism from genetics to environmental triggers. That shift could open up new, revolutionary avenues for potential treatments.
The research ties the disorder to changes in the gut microbiome, a community of microbes that live in the colon and are responsible for creating metabolites and other compounds crucial to our health and wellness.
Many influences outside of the human body are killing these beneficial microbes, which aren’t genetically part of us but live in symbiosis with humans. The new study, published June 26 in Nature Neuroscience, has linked autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to a distinct microbial signature that’s dysbiotic, or unnaturally out of balance. As in an ecosystem, too much of certain problematic species can destroy the overall ecology or lead to problematic consequences, such as too many of certain metabolites and not enough of others.
Meanwhile, autism rates are increasing at a speed that defies improved screening and diagnostic practices, as well as genetic patterns. The Centers for Disease Control released statistics in April that show the latest autism rate was 1 in 36 children in 2020, up from 1 in 44 in 2018, and 1 in 150 in 2000.”
RFK Jr. was supposed to head a Vaccine Safety Commission in the Trump Administration, that offer was withdrawn; then according to RFK Trump still wanted to establish an autism council, but it’s unclear why that never came about.
Dr, Fauci was involved by that time, so he likely had something to do with it.
There is still disagreement s to whether autism is increasing, but from what I see myself, it clearly is, even without all the “on the spectrum” stuff.
Another case of President Trump’s instincts and intellect being correct, and him allowing some bad actor or idiot to dissuade him.
It’s a good illustration of an overly optimistic outsider stepping in without a true understanding of the deceitful inner workings of a corrupt government.
Dr. Mengele-Fauci
“It’s a good illustration of an overly optimistic outsider stepping in without a true understanding of the deceitful inner workings of a corrupt government.”
It’s the reason I give him a pass on at least some of what he promised but didn’t deliver. I don’t think he had a clue about what he was facing, and his ego is big enough that he probably thought he could handle whatever came his way.
That childish need to be liked and acknowledged as special is his big flaw. It was on display in the interview with Tucker, where he more or less gave a pass to Gavin Newsom because Newsom schmoozed him. “He likes me!” Although he admitted more or less that Newsom had destroyed California, he couldn’t bring himself to oppose someone with whom he’d had “lots of nice conversations.” (That’s not exactly a quote, but it’s close to what he said).
There are worse character flaws, and sometimes the desire to be praised is almost charmingly childlike, but still – it’s a shame that he can’t seem to outgrow it and get out of his own way.
@Rowdypiglet’
A lot of Trump’s failure while in office is attributive to his arrested maturity as an individual. And yes, he was vastly preferable to the pure evil that has characterized Joe Biden throughout his career in politics/grift.
What we are talking about is Trump’s personal disqualification to become President in this country’s time of extreme need. Yes, he has been subject to the most outrageous attack by the forces of totalitarianism that the nation has ever faced. But that is not enough.
1- Due to the overwhelming size of his ego he is constitutionally unable to admit when he has made a mistake. Prime example: He is almost the last human on the planet to still proudly take credit for “my beautiful vaccines”. brought to us by his lieutenant Dr. Mengele-Fauci.
2- Trump is on record as having said about the murderous Clinton Crime family: “The Clintons are Good People” That alone disqualifies him from holding public office!
3- Among all the mendacious (and with rare exceptions, brilliant) aspirants to the office of the Presidency, Trump is the one with a proven track record of being unable to confront and challenge the Fascist Deep State. We have no reason to believe that a second term in office would be any different.
I remember the concept of “Poor Little Rich Kid”, when I was a kid.
The idea was that rich kids were brought up by nannies and then shipped off to boarding school at the earliest possible age.
They didn’t have the loving families that poor people were supposed to have. (And I actually did, so I got the concept.)
I’m pretty sure that Trump was shipped off at a young age. I assume he was brought up by nannies.
I have a relative who worked at a school for rich kids. She talked about the child of a famous actress who acknowledged his nanny, not his mother, when he graduated from the school. She said that all the teachers had tears in their eyes, because that woman was notorious in that school for her total lack of interest in her children.
Does Trump ever talk about his mother or father?
The only constant variable in that equation is the vaccination schedule. I personally wonder whether Alzheimer’s isn’t caused by a delayed reaction to some vaccine we get as kids.
Many kids have had an immediate and overwhelming reaction, becoming autistic when they were fine before. So I think that is the most reasonable answer for at least some of the explosion in autism.
Has Alzheimer’s exploded in similar fashion over the same time frame? A Tibetan Lama told me that Tibetans didn’t get this. He blamed it on the stress of modern life.
Jarek it could just be that Tibetans didn’t notice the difference.
Most autists are capable of performing the basic functions of primitive life just fine.
No, they’re not. It typically comes with all kind of disabilities, including physical.
Low IQ Africans, IQ 70, are capable of ordinary life, including learning complicated rote tasks.
There’s a difference between normal low functioning and the disability of a higher type.
Yes. I heavily regret vaccinating our child now.
If he ever has another, it will be through his own choice.
Jarek, not all autists are retarded. Those two things frequently go together, in fact there are those who believe the autism diagnosis is becoming more frequent because parents would rather hear that.
They are separate conditions, though.
I’ve worked with autistic children and, yes, sometimes it’s accompanied by low IQ. I don’t know what the statistics are. But it’s certainly much more than that, and can render a child with a relatively high IQ quite unable to function. These are disabilities of a higher order, and some of them are nearly indescribable, but they make any sort of normal life quite impossible.
@Jarek
My personal experience with one of your “low IQ Africans” was in my graduate school cohort. He was heads and shoulders intellectually above the other 20, including me. Fluent in three languages, published two books in French, as well as several translations of technical papers. Oh, and a member of the Barbados national team as a sprinter.
Bravo, Thor. Compare the smartest Africans with ordinary Whites and say that they’re equal. We don’t even need “experts” to do it – because Whites now do it themselves as you just did. Most Whites in college shouldn’t be there, obviously.
No doubt you had no problem when Hollywood made Heimdall, Black. He, the guard of Bifrost, who can hear the grass grow, as a Black!
People can shit on us all day long and Whites don’t mind, but say anything against a Black and their ire comes up. Xenophilia to a fatal degree. The love that should be for their own race given to another.
Alzheimer’s is , basically, Type Three diabetes in the brain.
Same evolution as diabetes 2-too much sugar, too much seed oils.
@Thor
There’s one billion Africans, obviously not all of them have 70 iq’s.
However, 70 is the average, whether or not you like to admit it, it’s low and that means they don’t think on the level that we do.
For an example of them not thinking on the same level, look at Africa.
Jarek already made the point, but why is it you feel the need to deny that they are different in this way?
Denials such as your post above, are (the reason) why younger groups of race realist Whites mock the older generations, who might otherwise have a lot to offer, is because they absolutely will not admit some very basic and obvious things, such as that groups of people are different in ways that are not fair or flattering.
I might call it Zoophilia, to be frank, and I don’t choose that word lightly. There’s a certain charm and fascination of looking at these very very different hominids, and being impressed with how like to us, they can be, not to mention how musical.. and at the same time having to go to outrageous lengths, such as your post above, that they are “just as good as us, dammit!”
And what does he call himself? Of all the things he could call himself, he calls himself, Thor!
I’m reminded of the famous Miss Viking contest in Minnesota one year when they gave the prize to a Black woman. All these big, sheepish Sheeple swallowed their detestable pride, summoned up their moral courage, and congratulated her. It became a thing. They’re all about things…..
The bottom line seems to be in the ability to survive on this ball we call Earth, rather than the ability to make higher scores on some kinds of cute little human tests.
I think the rest of the low-IQ animal world would agree and, as I’ve said elsewhere, if the animal world could laugh, at least in a way humans understood, humans would be its laughing-stock.

@Billy Hill:
Hmmm. Maybe you are on to something. In recent years, much research has apparently been done on the importance of gut bacteria. It seems that the gut plays a major role in one’s health in many ways.
We’ve got a local outfit out here – a spinoff from the lab, I believe – that’s capitalizing on that analysis. No idea whatsoever if it works wonders or anything like that. But with all the brainiac horsepower we’ve allegedly got out here, I’m surprised we haven’t seen any organized academic resistance to the quaccines.
I have a friend who is a doula, and she says that breast feeding is important for infant gut bacteria health.
Re Bill — it ain’t me, it’s the Journal Nature (Neuroscience) June 2023:
Paper Titled:
“Multi-level analysis of the gut–brain axis shows autism spectrum disorder-associated molecular and microbial profiles”
In my own non-scientific opinion this does not eliminate as a factor the vaccine tsunami to which we subject our newborns in the USA, but I have not peeled away the layers of the onion here. I’d expect less autism in more traditional third-world cultures BUT they have their own health issues.
Billy Hill anything they give infants at birth that interferes with development of their own immune system could certainly play a role in bad gut bacteria.
whether it does or not remains to be seen.
the importance of gut bacteria. – beantownbill
===========
In Oct 2022 I posted a comment about gut bacteria in hopes of getting some kind of reply from all the religious fanatics here at CFN. I don’t recall getting any responses so I’m going to try reposting. See below in italics. What do you think about the trillions upon trillions upon trillions of immortal bacterium souls? What could be more important than this gut bacteria issue?
I read that an adult human is comprised of approx 30 trillion cells and contains within it (mainly in the digestive track) 40 trillion bacteria. As I understand it, each cell of the human does not have its own soul or animating principal but rather as a group functioning as a single ‘being’ which has but one animating principal, or soul if you will. And what happens to that soul when it no longer animates the inanimate material of the body? Does it somehow continue to exist?
Bacteria, on the other hand appear to be individuals each with its own animating principal. And the turnover rate of die-offs vs the coming into existence of new bacteriums via division is about every 12 minutes. Why should a bacterium’s soul be any different than a human’s?
Immortality is the biggest issue of anything that has lived.
Spot on. That’s what my naturopath doctor has focused on for me during the past year.
Life-changing, to have your gut in working order.
Drink kefir every day. It’s one of the most probiotic-dense substances on the planet.
I semi-regularly brew my own, mainly apple, ciders and can’t use juices that have preservatives added because that will kill the yeast needed for the fermentation process…
But there’s an extended implication to this, namely that if we consume lots of food with preservatives added, it may threaten the naturally-occurring flora and fauna of our system and create potential knock-on effects to our health.
They’d better watch out with that kind of talk.
Dr. Wakefield was a pediatric gastroenterologist, because he became a “notorious anti-vaxxer”.
It was his observations on the guts of autistic children that led to his persecution.

Bacteria are considered germs. We need the good ones for gut health.
We also need a healthy microbiome on our skin.
You know your stuff. Thanks.
In 1960 it was one autistic child per 2,500 births.
However, the diagnostic hurdle has been certainly widened-my guess but not 2m500 to 1 to 36 to one.
My guess that between processed foods, vaccines (especially the MMR triple booster), environmental toxins and widespread use of anti biotics are the main culprits.
One will not see this discussion is the MSM
I think there’s a LOT of undiagnosed autism around.
canuk – I don’t remember Guiness being recommended to pregnant women (given the risks of foetal alchohol syndrome!) but in the UK when i had my kids in the 1980s, hospitals suggested a modest amount of Guiness or red wine, once the baby was safely delivered, to aid breastfeeding. That was defininely a thing and not just in Ireland. I don’t like either, unfortunately, unless incorporated in a steak and ale recipe or wine equivalent, but my kids survived anyway.
I remember when breastfeeding mothers were told to drink a beer to help with the letting down.
Also as a source of vitamin B.
What they tell expectant mothers about the dangers of small amounts of alcohol doesn’t appear to have the science to back it up.
I think it’s something doctors do to cover their butts, because when some drunk has a baby born with problems she might blame the doctor for not telling her not to drink.
We’ve already seen that happen with coffee.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is huge in Ireland. Pregnant women shouldn’t drink.
Alcohol increases estrogen so the above makes sense. A man who has been working hard all day may benefit from a mug of beer. For everyone else? You are turning into a woman.
Working physically hard. Construction, Commercial fishing, Picking crops, etc.
Or marathon training. Like that.
A Tibetan Lama told me that Tibetans didn’t get this. [maybe
He blamed it on the stress of modern life.

Thanks for the heads up.
Starkbier (“strong beer”) for surviving fasting during Lent.
Developed by the Paulaner monks in ca. the 16th C.
Yeah, drinking too much water is a much bigger problem among the Irish than alcoholism. And over here, much bigger than obesity.
Sure Mac, sure. Or should I say Mc?
Apologies to Guinness for misspelling Guinness twice. 🙂
And to alcoholics everywhere for misspelling alcohol. Not having a good day, orthographically speaking.
They did this in WWII as well, IIRC.
Anyways, someone down thread said they think it has to do with the ingredients in beer–a belief I tend to share.
There is a health reason, IMO.
The autistic kids are due to vaccines. Not alcohol. Alcohol has been around for ever. Vaccines, not so much.
Especially the MMR booster.
Autism used to be a rarity in public schools.
Now it is a thriving tax-payer funded industry.
Unfortunately, you are 100% correct.
1 in 10K became 1 in 10.
Some sources suggest practices of variolation were taking place as early as 200 BCE. Written accounts from the mid-1500s describe a form of variolation used in China known as insufflation, where smallpox scabs were dried, ground and blown into the nostril using a pipe.
“Given what we have experienced these past few years, I do wonder what it is about alcoholic beverages that the technocrats don’t want us getting?”
Well, Prohibition (and all such control mechanisms) were a windfall for the Mob. Really put the wind in their sails.
Prohibition of drugs has been a windfall for the CIA, ever since the Golden Triangle and Afghanistan. Now is the CIA competing with the Mexican cartels?
Lateral leap: It seems wholly fitting that Biden of Delaware (home of US usury) has racked up the greatest pile of dough while “serving” the public—the corporate public, that is. I’m sure his Delaware friends such as the credit card industry have been able to share all kinds of tips on how to set up shell companies and disappear the money offshore somewhere.
Maybe Comey et al. can hire some of the investigators who pried open the Panama Papers and the Pandora Papers.
Perhaps instead of indulging their defeatism here, CFN commenters could better spend their time by contacting their elected representatives and both Comey and McCarthy and urging them to move forward with the Biden impeachment.
Elected representatives are a waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
You mean Rep. COMER.
Comey was that smug FBI rat-bastard that was so heavily involved in the Russia-collusion hoax.
Right, thank-you.
Comer.
I keep confusing the two names.
Biden has been the ‘puppet’ of the Deleware family of the Duponts -they got him elected in 1972 and still control what left of his mind.
Maybe it’s not about that specifically but about the ingredients that go into making it.
Oh yeah. It takes farming to make beer.
John Kerry tells us that farming’s gotta go, it is killing the planet.
So far, no one his thrown him into a fiery pit from threatening to starve millions of people.
Michael Oswald, in “Behind Closed Doors: The West and Global Corruption,” documents Kerry going to Africa to try to get countries there to switch to “green” wind and solar.
Meanwhile, per Oswald, African countries are already far more “green” that the global North because the former use a lot of biofuel.
Of course Kerry would like African countries to waste their foreign exchange on purchasing Western technology.
This segment is fairly early in the film.
httpX://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uob5Q2dqS4k
Since Kerry is such a sailor, and so big on wind, I really think he ought to be able to figure out how to use the wind to get from Cape Cod to Africa. It’s not really that far.

Health authorities in their multitudes (government functionaries, website “experts,” recovery-facility executives, etc.) engage in a perpetual contest to one-up each other. The winners are those who can find the most threats to body and mind in the foods we eat, the liquids we pour down our gullets, our thermometers, and the air inside our lungs and our heads.
Unfortunately for the health priesthood, virtually every dangerous substance is already spoken for. How can a certified alarmist rise above the pack? Who can garner points for yet another sermon about putting vegetables on your plate and sending carbs to outer darkness?
Let’s see: there must be some no-no that has been mere background noise since before today’s generations were born. Alcohol, that’s what!
Prohibition ended in 1933. Everybody at the time agreed it had been a raging farce. But that was a long time ago, long enough that the former consensus has been gathering dust on a shelf in the social archives.
Much as they might want it, our medical constabulary knows that Prohibition 2.0 is off the table. (For now.) What to do?
Got it!: moderation. With spurs on. Who can gripe about that? Give the deplorables a generous two beers a week. It’s for the children … of all ages. And wow, won’t the other game players be envious! Where’s the megaphone?
Hunter looks like a lush to me, in addition to being a dope fiend and a pedo and out-of-control narcissist.

Ha, ha.
@Night Owl:
“the Biden admin. is now moving to drastically reduce and potentially ban consumption of alcohol.”
What? I haven’t heard about this. Do you have a source?
Saw it on the Twatter today. All over.
2 beers for an adult man per week, 1 for adult women.
Potential health reasons aside (its good for us), it could also be prep for the UN/WEF targets on food, travel, etc.
I posted a document a while back showing that they have long- and short-term goals. Some of them were quite absurd, such as “3 items of new clothing per year.”
Was taken from a Powerpoint presentation.
“2 beers for an adult man per week”
ha ha and ha.
These fucktards don’t realize that beer helps keep them safe.
From me.
Since it’s painfully obvious Joe Biden isn’t in command of the government, I have to wonder what his purpose actually is. Clearly, Joe Biden is a tool, not just in the sense that he’s a dick, but rather he’s being articulated by someone to do a job.
Are they going to push him across the finish line so he can pardon everyone from the Clintons to Vindmans? Simply connecting the dots revealed these past 7 years convinced me that if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 election, the Ukraine war would have started in 2016, and covid would have been a key operation in that effort. A LOT of TREASON has drifted by our attention in the years since and it’s finally getting noticed.
Otherwise, if he’s not there to pardon the bastards, then he’s there to take the fall. He doesn’t even know, why would he care?
Putin said that if Hillary won the 2016 election, war was on the table.
His purpose is fall guy. Because this fall is as big as they get, they need a proven criminal and traitor.
Agreed. The D’s need someone to blame for their sins. Disposable Joe is just the ticket. He’s old, he’s white, he’s theoretically Catholic, he’s not a REAL socialist. Lord knows Obama tried, etc, etc…
Time for a Lefty upgrade! Who better than Michelle with Gav holding her luggage?
That’s the perfect “progressive” picture, isn’t it? A black female president with a white male VP holding her bags. I bet they even have commemorative plates made!
He keeps falling, tripping, etc. He’s practicing for the ultimate fall.
When did integrity die.
November 22, 1963, assassination of Kennedy by the Deep State.
Just like after Buddy Holly died-the day day the music died
Good call on that day in Dallas. The Owners’ debutante ball, their coming out party for all the world to see.
Pink and red were the colors of the day. And the seemingly permanent (to date) blackness that issued forth from the assassins’ rifle barrels.
I DO wish people, the polity, would come to terms with what was accomplished and what was truly lost that day.
Yes, by all means, bring back prohibition. Speakeasies cooking bathtub gin on gas burners, serving blackmarket beef under bootleg ceiling fans. Imagine the chaos.
You won’t be able to use those gas burners to make your bathtub gin. Joe wants those gone by, isn’t it the magic year of 2030?
Maybe that’s what the thousands of armed IRS agents will be for.
They will be goig after home brewing operations.
I don’t think that will go over too well in Appalachia!
Put the stills underground, or in caves. I think they have plenty of that there (both underground and caves).
I think everyone is missing one factoid regarding the proposed alcohol limits: cannabis. Almost all small cultivation has been squeezed out in USA. While both alcohol and cannabis are scheduled intoxicants, the former makes one fight the latter makes one compliant. No lie, the cost to produce high quality cannabis (no distribution cost included) is less than $1/gram. Tip of the spear.
Aelpha: Interesting.
The whole cannabis thing has always left me somewhat uneasy. Starting way back in the sixties/seventies, when college kids discovered pot/Mary Jane. I probably tried it about twice. I did not like being around people who smoked pot. Or “discovered” getting high.
My parents were already Bohemians so to speak in the fifties. I really didn’t need any hippy behavioral shit in my life.
I am all for medical marijuana. But I am not happy with the profile of those managing the new legal pot outlets for recreational pot (the few I know of)..
You don’t distill homebrew. Is is fermented. Whiskey is distilled. After fermentation of course. Beer (homebrew) is not.
Election season is starting, and the Democrats need to get their players in a better place. This is how I think they do it. Dianne Feinstein resigns. She is replaced by Kamala Harris (that gets her out of the way). Gavin Newsom is named VP. Joe Biden resigns, Newsom becomes President. The Democrats have a much stronger, younger candidate. The Biden scandals become old news.
There is a difference between the East Coast and West Coast Democrats. Newsom may be popular in crazy California, but he will not be a hit on the East Coast. Two different Mobs!
He’s actually not popular at all in CA. His recall had millions of signatures. His elections were fixed, just like all CA elections are. Esp. the pres. primaries.
Agreed Mary, California is a split personality depending on how close you live to the ocean.
Sacramento is a locked in Blue zone which allows the Pelosi clone to rule unfettered by opposition.
Well, he was running against that white supremacist, so liberal Californians had to vote against that, (even if he was a black man.)
(I knew where you were going widdat, lol.)
Yes, Larry Elder, a most rational man.
Even the Oakland police station is boarded up and it’s a BIG building.

Remember when a white woman hit Elder with an egg as he was walking down the street? That wasn’t ray-cissssss.
I’m wondering if RFK Jr. is signaling that if they all go quietly, and allow him to take the helm, they get a free pass with their reputations intact.
Even RFK, if miraculously elected, would be all but impotent in that impotent office. He probably thinks it’s worth the gamble to do whatever it takes to win just in case anything could be done at all from that chair, or just to win a crown for kicks, worst case, keep it from someone worse.
Trump is the only option.
The most disturbing aspect is that without Trump, there is really nothing left where the presidency is concerned.
It is nearly another captured institution.
I’m surprised more people don’t realize that. They are busy talking about how someone stands on this or that, without recognizing that it is Trump vs the entire totalitarian establishment. Whatever else you may think of Trump, to keep going in the face of this non-stop withering hatred, indicates a person with an iron will.
SteveK9:
Gotta agree.
Plus extremely thick skin.
The latter pretty much goes with the territory in the NYC real estate market.
IMHO, still too liberal. He is East Coast Democrat with a couple of exceptions.
Liberalness isn’t the issue. It’s that the office of the presidency itself is dead. The closer you get to it, the deader you must be or become.
Good point, Trump is proof positive,
The Potomac Trump bore little semblance to the Rally Trump.
Our whole form of government is dead, not just the presidency. That’s why I believe it will not continue in its present form into the tribulation.
It can be argued it has become an imperial presidency just as strongly. Obama, just for one, certainly enjoyed his tenure. Cheney/Bush too.
Which course ensues is predicated on being simpaticó with the Owners.
Potomac Trump thought he could make deals and influence people through building personal relationships, methinks.
Doesn’t matter now. If he wins and does not go scorched earth, then the presidency as we know it (or think we know it) is truly done for.
He has all kinds of cockamamie Democrat dogma ideas, and he’s only getting worse.
Have you seen his voter ID plan? He must have been in a coma during the whole Lois Lerner, IRS scandal.
The problem is that poor people can’t get free passports! Oh my God!
But hey, Al Sharpton is on board with it.
I resent these people who insinuate that those who don’t go along with their crackhead ideas are lacking in common sense.
BTW, how does a passport prevent the fraud from all the ballots floating around and people not voting in person?
RFK has dead eyes, despite his personal warmth. It’s outer. The state of the inner man is not good.
Jarek I think it’s that he is deeply conflicted.
Part of him wants to clean things up and bring back justice, but that involves destroying most of his world.
Or being assassinated like his forbears.
That is actually a good point, Jarek.
He does have dead eyes.
Owen Benjamin does some very funny bits on RFK as a drug addict, pussy hound, and all around fuck-up.
Not saying he is a fuck-up, but his past is far more checkered than I initially realized.
Not to mention that he talks funny.
Nicely done. Is Michelle on Gav’s ticket?
Newsom has two glaring problems:
1. Male
2. White
Large degree of PC no-no which cannot be tolerated.
Did not put hetero on the list because maybe next time if there is one…
The pretend hatred of the patriarchy is just that.
White men still run the joint, they just have to pretend they hate themselves.
The Whites ones who don’t identify as White are mostly the ones at the top. Thus the persecution of Whites. You admit that is going on, right?
If they’re at the top, why do they have to pretend to hate themselves? The ones at the top, don’t. Only the lower tiers. Pyramid science to the rescue.
Don’t expect anything but more clown world, Jim. If you don’t expect much, you won’t be let down. They are all in on the screwing of America, make no mistake.
The rotting-appendage agencies and departments are being used to lock you down again. This is why everyone was ‘given notice’ in advance.
When a health dept or osha is weponized via medical tyranny, then it doesn’t matter who remembered anything.
Only Big difference this time is the police arent coming when a store-person throws a shit-fit about having no mask.
DO NOT COMPLY with everything and anything you can.
Nobody paid a price, so of course they will do it again. And again and again and again.
No one in government wants to hold them accountable, save for a local pol or two.
RFK Jr. backed off, as well.
Yet people get excited because there are negroes taking things from drugstores because they have been given tacit permission.
So other words, it’s White people’s fault? Because Blacks can do no wrong, ever?
By denying them moral agency, you deny their humanity. You have a lower opinion of them than I do.
Women? Same thing. I would never deny a woman her wages, what she has earned, what she has coming to her. She has moral agency and must be give her just deserts, no matter how horrible.
No Jarek those weren’t my words.
People are ignoring the yuge corruption at the top, and focussing their outrage on the distraction provided for their diversion.
Last week you explicitly said that everything was White people’s fault.
Do you recant this foolish statement?
No because I didn’t say that.
You said that and falsely attributed it to Beryl.
Sisters backing each other up in their fibs.
Stop scratching your itch in public, Jarek.
So other words,
must be give her just deserts – Jar
============
So [in] other words,
must be given her just deserts
Jar, do you ever say to yourself “this week I’m going to be really careful not to make any mistakes” or do you just say “fuck it?”
or do you just say “fuck it!”?
Gotta put that question mark where it belongs Q…
Gotcha!
Nope. Nope. Nope! Mr Wade Waters. This is the USA, where we do it Q’s way. ‘Murican punctuation.
Desserts, Q. Please stop make a fool of yourself.
Maybe you should ask yourself the same question, as you continually fuck up your own comments.
For all other punctuation, the British and American styles are in agreement: unless the punctuation is part of the quoted material, it goes outside the quotation marks.
In response to Rulo down below:
“just deserts” vs. “just desserts”
June 7, 2021
We’ll keep it short and sweet — this phrase has nothing to do with sugary treats.
It’s easy to confuse deserts with desserts because both words are pronounced the same way. But the word deserts in this phrase has nothing to do with cake and ice cream, or with dry, sandy places. Instead, desert comes from the same root as deserve, which should help you understand the meaning of this phrase: a punishment that is justly deserved. Getting your just deserts refers to receiving an appropriate punishment for whatever offense you have committed.
As these examples show, just deserts is almost exclusively used to refer to punishment rather than reward:
Sometimes beloved characters depart much too soon, and sometimes villains get their just deserts. (New York Times)
The man got his just deserts, but he didn’t deserve to be tarred as a traitor without a trial and conviction (Washington Times)
Because dessert usually comes at the end of a meal, and is often seen as a reward for good behavior, it’s easy to see how people often get this one wrong. In the following examples, desserts has been erroneously swapped in for deserts — but since these sentences refer to crime and punishment, references to sweet treats don’t really make sense:
Therefore, Rulo, deserts was correct. Also, deserts was correct because I was quoting Jar.
Desserts, Q. Please stop make a fool of yourself. – Rulo

Give it a rest.
Q: So you end a sentence with quotation marks? That seems so wrong….
But I could be wrong.
If the quotation marks are used for a conversation then a sentence can end with them. Otherwise not.
Who will resign [ go away ] first ? Agnew or Nixon – Harris or Biden. In waves.
Now that pot is legalized, it’s time to ban alcohol again.
Booze does not stink like a skunk. Social order involves alcohol consumption. An old saying says more deals are done over lunch than any other time. I would add the golf course to that statement. Both though are well lubricated with booze.
Yep. DC itself revolves around alcohol use, so hard to imagine them trying to ban it. Restrict it, maybe.
Easy, peasy. Restrict the use of alcohol to the District of Colombia.
It’ll be banned everywhere but there.
Stop being selfish. We need that grain to feed people, not so you can get high. Open borders means no alcohol. Choose. You can feel about yourself or you can feel good.
They’ve already been phasing out grain use for alcohol fermentation. More and more beers are using corn syrup or simply sugar in the process, as it produces a milder tasting brew. Turns out many of the youngsters these days don’t really like the taste of traditional beer.
“Booze does not stink like a skunk.”
Not like a skunk but boozers and stale booze have their own special funk about them.
In my time working at a planning commission in Ohio, most of the real work was done over beers after the monthly meetings. The western part of Ohio was settled by Germans, the dry counties were Protestant, the Catholics got the beer.
Religion was never an issue as thirst was the main driver. However the revival meetings were a definite social event – “More souls were made then were saved.”
Booze does not stink like a skunk.
This is totally not true. Alcoholics smell like a chemical plant.
“Rep James Comer’s House Oversight Committee has already assembled a bundle of evidence tracking the exact ways and means of how the Biden family’s global bribery operation worked. That includes the bank records, the emails and deal memos, the chronology of meetings, the FBI documents, the phone recordings, the photos of “JB” schmoozing with Hunter’s “clients,” and the famous video of “Joe Biden” bragging onstage at the Council on Foreign Relations about how he strong-armed Ukraine President Poroshenko into firing General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin.”
RFK Jr. calls these things policy differences. I’ll say.
Can hardly wait until the Hustler shows up to tell us that all of that is not enough evidence to turn him against Biden, and to tell JHK how disappointed he is that he is talking about it.
Also, that the war in Ukraine is going along swimmingly! If only those stubborn Ukrainians would do as they are ordered, and quit being so damn death adverse.
Do we have to get the Poles in here?
Americans KNOW the Bidens are crooked, and both the President and Vice President are incompetent – and as long as they have TikTok and PornHub they don’t care!
That’s about it.
What is the Biden business?
Thinking in terms of Soros buying DA’s, how about siphoning off the wealth of a nation, and using the funds to buy politicians and public figures who will facilitate the implementation of the 2030 agenda. The racket basically amounts to treason, so the compensation will need to be substantial.
Think about it. “All nations must participate”. It would make sense of all the nonsense. The Afghanistan withdrawal. Funneling all that money into Ukraine. Half a million dollar blow jobs.
Then you have a flock of public figures running around like chickens with their heads cut off making a bunch of “noise” to distract from the big picture agenda. Myaorkis, Weingarten, Levine, Fauci, …
Don’t worry about the beer, people. Since when are “guidelines” the law?
Oh, wait….
Luckily, a mask is a perfect disguise for robbing a liquor store.
You could apply the same logic to the digital ID, and non-savable CBDCs, but if you take that route, you will be in the WEF digital prison–or dead.
If things are not significantly turned around starting in 2024, I think we may be shit too deep to shovel.
I actually feel (even from here in the Fatherland), that the US election is going to mark where things go next.
‘It’s coming to America first,
The cradle of the best and the worst’
In a better world, something like that might happen. Right now, a fervent dream.
There is no evidence that self-corrective mechanisms still actually work in the Land of the Free.
The show must, and likely will, go on. Until some Black Swan eclipses all else.
MACKLER is a new name for us in the Biden saga. It means “dealer” in German. Apropos? Indeed the link Jim provided shows no mention of Mackler.
However, the website’s homepage does inform us that they forced the Mayor of Camden to resign:
“King, 41, was until recently the mayor of Camden, Delaware and owns several businesses in the area. On February 25, King confronted two male victims, both 19, whom he claimed had been causing mischief at his car wash. King shoved the victims and, at one point, pulled on a victim’s hoodie while he was on the ground.”
Makes me think of the Sacklers, the OxyContin kings.
He shoved them and pulled on their hoody? Ooooh, big fucking deal.
The Corn Pop days are definitely over.
Think about the 1920s with prohibition.
The Roaring Twenties, more booze was manufactured and drank under black market conditions than before or after.
Trying to get rid of the Biden Mob is going to be more difficult than Capone. They never really got Capone but for an income tax evasion charge, never for his bootlegging or Mafia killings.
Today is worse because the judiciary is controlled by the Deep State. The Deep State does not want one of its own to be impeached, remember that to the monsters of DC, loyalty to the Deep State is number one. That is why Trump was an easy target for the Mob and Biden will get away with murder, as has Clinton.
Only one thing can stop the Deep State, some sort of revolution. The French Revolution went full tilt when the army turned on the king at the Bastille. Will the Constitution die with a whimper by the Pentagon finally having enough. Or maybe the Deep State has headed off that possibility by creating the woke army.
Not very hopeful. I am waiting for the revolution to start, by a seceding group of states or the creation of a winnable third party. Just like 1856.
It is interesting. If the third party starts, it will be comprised of members of both parties, but mostly conservative GOP, think Tea Party. It will be focused on stopping the advance of the Progressive March to socialistic oligarchy, also known as the Mob.
Actually, I believe that we no longer operate under the constitution. Oh, it’s there as a prop, but none of our elected representatives really believes in it. At least, they don’t act like they do. We have instead a quasi-Marxist oligarchy, with everyone scrambling for their piece of the pie before the pie disappears.
“Actually, I believe that we no longer operate under the constitution.”
An INCREDIBLE observation !
Only about 230 year’s late.
Well, apart from me and you, most everyone else still believes we do.
There’s a feeding frenzy on a dying body.
JohnAZ,
Having grown up as an “Air Force brat” I am sufficiently knowledgable concerning the military mentality, and thus harbor a tiny hope that a cabal of patriotic “young colonels”, in the Pentagon or elsewhere, will form the nucleus of a revolt. Probably not until blackouts, supply line failure, hunger and regional gang rule are well-advanced.
I am also familiar with how this has worked (not) over and over again in Latinoamerica, where the corruption and cruelty of military leaders eventually matches or surpasses that of the “legally elected” representatives they kick out. I use “quotation marks” in this context for “obvious reasons”.
The military may (or may not) be said to have saved Chile, among others. I consider this an open question, although in retrospect General Pinochet comes across as intelligent, patriotic and reasonable. In any case, once the Marxists get a firm hold on power, and unquestioningly dominate the generals, then it is GAME OVER.
General Suharto may be said to have saved Indonesia from a communist takeover in 1965; the subsequent bloodbath could have been equal or worse had the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) seized power.
Founding President Sukarno, his mind already fuddled by kidney failure (you poison yourself and judgment becomes demented) placed his money on the commies, after China fell to the CCP. Bad bet, in retrospect; he also recognized the danger from his own military, but got boxed in and hogtied by the clever Suharto.
That the Smiling General, his family and cronies subsequently fucked up the Indonesian economy is also a familiar tale (in Africa as well as Asia and Latin America).
Now the USA is emulating those disheveled third-world kleptocracies, just as Eisenhower (a man also familiar with the deficiencies of military thinking) predicted it would.
When push comes to shove, no one has the chain of command, organization or the muscle to reset a bad situation as the military does. Their currently suppressed resentment of the woke indoctrination may be the spark the sets off a move to revolt.
It certainly won’t come from the generals, as they are all sold out and deeply compromised.
Good reporting on the Mackler dude.
” (If he tries to demur, there could be a new Speaker of the House in short order.)”
This I really do doubt. It seems like these days, if someone gets shoed in by the deep state, they are there for the duration. If McCarthy wasn’t one of them, then he wouldn’t be where he is.
Also, we have a big precedent now of those at the top simply refusing to comply and, as Beryl says, there is no forced compliance or repercussions, so why would they?
I don’t really see this impeachment being pulled off. I will be happy to be wrong. Also, if it does, what will actually change? They will have their next line of generals and toadies all ready to go.
Yeah, and it’s not just those at the top, either. I saw a lot of that attitude with democrat governors during Trump’s presidency. In my opinion, every democrat governor who allowed antifa and blm to riot in their states should be criminally charged. But it echoes what you say about those at the top facing no consequences for what they do. At least, not the human kind. There are the spiritual kind. Those are generally worse, because there’s no way out.
President Trump endorsed him. He also pushed for Romney’s niece.
Might be an impeachment.
Conviction? Too many fingers in the pie for such an outcome.
… and this is when, if not from a ‘black swan’ showing up prior to, the country truly goes off the rails.
Impeachment doesn’t mean anything anymore if it ever did. Was it ever used, really? The word means to kick out. Was Trump kicked out even though impeached?
No.
You have had this explained, Jarek.
Impeachment is like an indictment. The Senate holds the trial.
No one is kicked out unless convicted.
Update your understanding, because you are wrong about this.
impeachment
noun
Hindrance; impediment; obstruction.
A calling in question; accusation of wrong or error; disparagement: as, an impeachment of one’s motives or conduct, or of the credibility of a witness.
A calling to account; arraignment; the act of charging with a crime or misdemeanor; specifically, the exhibition of charges of mal-administration against a high public officer before a competent tribunal.
Mary backs me up. The meaning has changed, Paula.
She is backing me up, doofus.
Read it again.
Why didn’t Trump get kicked out then?
LMAO, Jarek’s delusions don’t allow for real data to get in.
Why isn’t Trump in prison in Georgia then?
He got arraigned and indicted, but they didn’t put him into prison. Is it all just a farce?
Doesn’t indictment mean anything anymore? Is it just a reprimand, a slap on the wrist?
Oh, the humanity!
She answers with a joke. In other words, Paula can’t admit I have a point. Typical.
McCarthy is one more WEF soldier-in-place. I intuit therein lie his reasons for his being so persistent in spite of the embarrassment of the many multiple votes during the speakership chase. For all that’s going down nationally and internationally, from his primacy of power as the Republican Speaker, McCarthy is certainly low-key, almost invisible.
Bigger fish to fry.
The tentacles are many, but they all feed into the One Maw eventually.
” Do you really think Americans will comply with another round of this malicious nonsense? Fuggeddabowdit.”
I don’t “think” it matters a “tinker’s damn” what YOU “think”, what I “think”, or what anybody else “thinks”, or for that matter, “wants”.
The fascist zio-globalist talmudic dictatorship which has been in control of this flea bitten, gang banged tatters of a “country” has no intentions of EVER letting go. EVER.
Take a micro second to figure out that YOU are NON-ESSENTIAL, as has been hammered into the collective neurons of all but the most imbecilic amongst us.
And you’re about to find out just how NON-ESSENTIAL you really are.
@ Mr. James
Take note of this misspelling in your penultimate paragraph today:
“adventures in global money-grubbbing”
Or perhaps three b’s in grubbing was intended as an emphasizer?
People might comply with another round of lockdowns and shots, but what people won’t comply with is really serious waves of unexplainable death from the shots, or really serious curtailments of freedom via digital currencies.
At some point, any significant Great Reset strides become too obvious to hide from the public or get them to easily comply with,
so there’s this constant limiter on any Great Reset plan where it must be either out in the open, or remain not really significant enough to matter enough to make a huge difference.
It’s like Hitler trying to win power if Germany’s population had been 100% Jews…
I dunno. The deaths might actually be a selling point, as they’ll be spun as being caused by the underlying “disease” itself.
– No politician ever lost an election by underestimating the stupidity of the electorate. –
Truer now than ever.
Maybe to a point, but I think the Great Reset is doomed to always accomplish some, but never nearly enough to succeed in any meaningful way, till it’s life-cycle spins out.
Let’s hope so.
You ignore how unbelievably far it has come thus far.
Sure. Most people believe that CO2 is a pollutant because the government said it is, even though basic science tells us that green things need CO2 to produce oxygen.
Demonstrate that most people believe that carbon dioxide is a pollutant.
This is false.
You tried this before with your former/alternative avatar.
Most people understand that various entities want people to believe that excess carbon dioxide, caused by the activities of man, are responsible for climate change.
Most people who oppose climate change hysteria understand that climate has, is, and will change as it has changed innumerable times in the planet’s history.
The flat-climaters (climate can’t change) have far more sinister ulterior motives for constraining human activity:
Humans are the pollutant
I’ve never had a former or alternative avatar. I don’t know how to demonstrate it other than by suggesting you ask the “man on the street” as it were, if they think CO2 is a pollutant or contributor to climate change or not and see what answer you get.
Tell people to avoid all chemicals, especially dihydrogen monoxide, and 99% will agree.
Most don’t even know the shots are doing it. Even here, we have several who refuse to even look at the evidence.
Watch the roundtable GA posted yesterday. These shots were released in varying potencies, in order to hide the destruction. Some die immediately, others become debilitated and die slowly. Others have no reaction, as they were given a placebo.
A note: This is why they will never stop pushing new shots. Biden has the next one lined up.
And never forget that they told us that they foresaw us needing shots every few months. A legalized euthanasia and compliance program for a New Normal.
If deaths ever reached a true “depopulation” level, the entire game would shift because truer answers to cause would be demanded by enoigh people.
I did watch the roundtable.Yeadon is great and right on. We’re just not talking about depopulation, and never will be. They’re already toeing the limits of what they can get away with.
“Yeadon is great and right on. We’re just not talking about depopulation, and never will be.”
Yeadon literally said they will enslave us with digital ID/CBDCs, then kill 90-95% of us. What were you listening to? And, if Yeadon is wrong about depopulation, why do you think he’s great?
I think the person who is ‘just not talking about depopulation, and never will be, is yourself’. You seem to find the notion too unpalatable to acknowledge. I find it unpalatable too, but I don’t know how refusing to acknowledge it does anything other than make it easier for them to accomplish. As Mike, said, if you get on that train, you’re going where it’s heading.
Alba, he’s right on with his vaccine analysis. It was engineered for harm. Different batches had different lethality levels. There’s no other explanation… etc.
He’s right that they desire depopulation and digital control.
I just think there are huge barriers to their actual success.
A 30% increase in excess deaths for working age people is huge statistically, but practically, in terms of total population numbers, it is still negligible.
I’m skeptical there will be any mass sterilization from a few nanolipids. A slight down tick? Sure. Nothing revolutionary.
You might remember I’m a huge proponent of the idea that the world IS currently extremely overpopulated in terms of longterm planetary carrying capacity. Although I would despise the method, I would have to admit that a successful vaccine-administered depopulation program would probably benefit our descendents in coming centuries, overall. I’d prefer intentional depopulation through birth control by an enlightened global populace, but what are the chances of that?
But, objectively, I do not see a successful Great Reset vaccine depopulation program as a real possibility because elites can sense it would mean the end of their power structure. I believe they are essentially just playing around, toying with ideas rather unseriously and out of a kind of bewildered, last-gasp desparation.
My motivation for promoting this perspective is to promote the idea that elites and their Reset are a diversion from the real event, which is ecological and civilizational collapse because of species overshoot and technological overreach. I think staying healthy requires keeping one’s focus on that process rather than being sidetracked by the narcissistic elites’ Great-Reset sideshow/cry for attention..
Agree, Robert. People should look at reality, instead of predictions.
A 40% increase in the death rate is nothing near 90% of the population dying.
And the births still outnumber the deaths, by far, and the human population continues to increase on the planet.
Regarding stress on the enviornment, all deaths are not equal.
A major reduction in First World populations would reduce the total planetary burden more than an equal number of deaths in the Third World.
Except. Owing to the X effect (can’t recall name), all energy savings so far have been more than made up for by increased use. Thus, high-efficiency engines have not resulted in a net gain in conservation, because now people drive more miles. Etc.
As Dr. Anas Alhajji pointed out in an excellent video linked at Our Finite World (Gail Tverberg), every migrant who crosses the border from a third world to a first world country automatically increases the total ecological footprint of that country because the migrant will immediately be adopting all or most of the resource-intensive life styles of the first world. Even if he doesn’t intend to do so. Because he becomes part of a wasteful infrastructure.
Everyone should watch this eye-opening deep dive into energy realities—issues that I have not see discussed elsewhere:
httpX://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop
The whole carrying-capacity issue is IMO moot except for a limited regional outlook. In the past, many species have overshot the carrying capacity of their ecosystem. Usually a few individuals survive. Some migrate, etc. , or the whole group turns into something else, like dinosaurs into birds. Or tiny little horses into majestic steeds. This is happening all around us now. But other species on other continents do not therefor disappear.
The whole system is too dynamic for human interventions to achieve much except create more interesting(and stupid and probably wholly unnecessary) problems for Mother Nature to solve.
She bats last. She has plenty of time.
It’s foolish humans with their short time horizon who are in a hurry.
“But, objectively, I do not see a successful Great Reset vaccine depopulation program as a real possibility because elites can sense it would mean the end of their power structure.”
Not if they aim to keep population to a level they have already outlined and keep those people in abject poverty–slaves to be experimented on and used as needed.
This is more or less what they would appear to want based on various writings. Harari thinks most people should be living in pods playing video games.
It does not seem you have delved too deep into this stuff. What they want to achieve is quite achievable. We have a window of time to push back and hinder and potentially stop them.
Robert – a 40% increase in the death rate is what we have now. Once everyone is on digital ID whose functioning depends on being up to date with future ‘vaccine’ mandates, people will take what they’re told to take. Why do you think the 40% increase has anything to do with their future plans? The real stuff happens when people are forced to comply, on pain of not eating. The Pandemic Treaty and the changes to the International Health Regulations are key to that.
Once ‘vaccines’ are truly compulsory, i.e. no vaxx, no food, people will treat it like Russian roulette.
Indeed GA,
I have brought up locking people out of grocery stores many times, because it was a level of terrorization that even I was somewhat surprised at.
A German state gave its grocery store owners “Hausrecht,” allowing them to turn away “unvaccinated.”
In France, they had bouncers out in front of Carrefour and other stores, turning away families with children.
All of you jackasses who think this is a joke need to wake up.
NO – no matter how much people incrementally learn, most will go down smoking hopium, it seems. You only need to look at Gates’ face when he says the next ‘pandemic’ will get everyone’s attention. That’s not the face of a man interested in losing population at 2500/week excess deaths in the UK. That’s not worth getting out of bed for, for Bill.
islander
“Owing to the X effect (can’t recall name)”
Jevons paradox?
GA, that sounds right.
The more efficient our systems become, the more we use, or the more we travel, etc., so there is no net gain.
Again, I can see the results of energy conservation on, say, a household or even neighborhood level (if the latter is well organized and has effective feedback and data gathering).
But when it comes to larger social entities, there are always flies in the ointment.
Mainly, there are always business entities that actually want to make profit on every aspect of our energy use/conservation. We can never get ahead as long as humans reign.
Evolution will have to take over the controls.
Yes, I’ve heard this before, also. Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, had an excellent presentation on how it all works. Some were placebos, others were “programmed” to deliver various ailments and cancers via activation by 5G. These were not “vaccines” in the traditional sense or what much of the public thinks they were.
Speaking of Hitler, the Nazis never got more than 44.7% of the vote, despite enormous pressure by Brown Shirts, jailing of adversaries, etc.
Can you give the title of the YouTube video you referred to (“eye-opening deep dive into energy realities”) in your earlier post please?
OK, I see the problem with the Youtube address—not sure why this came out like this.
The title is

Thanks for asking Islander this.
I follow this guy on tweeter.
As Pat B said, Likud is straight up National Socialism. Of course that doesn’t make any sense unless you know that National Socialism is a political system just like Fascism. China’s system is National Socialist – and it is working to make them the preeminent nation on Earth.
While oil flows…
Gus, sadly, most will embrace a digital currency – hell, most won’t even bring a bit of cash to the farmers’ market and whine when I tell them I don’t take Venmo or Apple Pay. For a dozen eggs, some potted basil and a few eggplant, for fuck’s sake.
Some of us won’t, though. As someone has been saying here, that will be the true divider – masses complying, some of us not.
Just how do you think you’ll get around not using the digital dollar?
Yesterday Chris Christie was interviewed on Face the Nation. I confess to being significantly hearing impaired but I could swear I heard him use the non-word irregardless. Therefore, if I were a voting person, which I am not, CC would never get my vote.
irregardless
Oh Q.! How could you?
Et tu, Q., et tu? 😉
He heard fat slob Christie say the “non-word”
Diss,
Punctuation and context….
I thought he meant “n-word” with “non-word.”
Apologies, Q.
Don’t apologize to that a-hole, he should have had it in quotations
Why does God create people like Q and Christie?
Good question.
They are the same.
Christie isn’t actually running for president. He is there to tear Trump down.
Q doesn’t offer anything germane to the discussion. He is here to focus on spelling and grammar errors.

While talking with my postmaster this morning while his underlings looked in vain for a package that was “misdelivered” (despite USPS tracking saying it was in the post office — “give it till Thursday”), he said the USPS will reinstate the mask mandate and Plexiglas walls soon because of the Wuhan Red Death.
The Post Office is crucial to mail-in elections.
They just removed the Plexiglas a couple of months ago!!
I guess they have them in storage, ready to re-erect.

To think that American colonists rebelled over a 3¢ tax on bulk tea.
They say Italians are not true descendants of Romans. Too much invasion and migration.
Same is true of America
My recollection of the tea tax history wasn’t about the amount, it was less than the previous tea tax.
It was the actual enforcement of the tax which created the tea-dumping event.
It created a monopoly, which created the tea dumping, which created retaliatory laws that curtailed trade and meetings and allowed for enactment of eminent domain to quarter troops, and, and, and keep splitting hairs by all means
All those listed, my point is the enforcement rather than looking the other way.
While looking at the list, the second attempt, after scrapping the first attempt ( the Articles of Confederation) became the new and improved compact between the states.
One could make a case for a peaceful coup as the delegates were initially sent to fix the Articles. They changed their purpose, determing a fresh start was best.
They included safeguards to keep all those listed and more from happening again.
It wasn’ easy for them. For us today, events are not easy.
It’s a cycle, with variations on a theme.
It took a lot less to get former Americans to revolt.
The people today don’t have the mettle or the makeup.
We’re a nation of flee-rs and it shows.
The pioneering spirit is a fairytale.

How many times were you roughed up protesting Coroneau fascism these past few years, Edglet?
I can guess.
Mussolini’s last words. Too Italian, not enough Roman.
The old families died out, lost in seeking political advantage and pleasure. Emperor Augustus tried to shame them, but to no avail. And the women were just as bad as the men.
Is it true the original Italians moved to France and the ones of today are of mid east and black bloodlines?
Ended hanging upside down, dead, with Clara Petacci. As he deserved.
Yet, he was a prince compared to mustache man to the north – he never enforced the bloodthirsty genocide diktats of the more powerful Germans, ignored rabid orders to exterminate minorities, through the time tested Italian and Roman strategy of dithering, obfuscating, playing dumb.
My WW2 surviving Yugoslav and Italy loving forebears said it best: the Italians are too civilized, too full of joie de vivre, too fond of good wine, food, books and music, to be drawn into the madness of the Barbarian Teutons.
Too Italian. Not enough Roman. The blood (genes) is the life. Or have you become a Lamarckian farmer like those who caused the famine in Communist Russia?
Fascistic tendencies and the capacity for atrocity is race-based.
History with Ruloious.
The American people may be resigned to being ruled by crooks and criminals, but how does this look to the rest of the world?
Someone postulated that our ruling overlords don’t care because they are taking us down, but I think that they are still trying to rule the world.
Do they really no longer have ” a decent respect to the opinions of mankind”?
Or will there be some faction which forces Congress to take action?
I guess we’ll find out.
As to the new scary variant coming, eugyppius points out that they can’t even get their story about it straight.
Say what? Shouldn’t they have perfected the means of producing fear by now?
Even Germany won’t go along with it?

To wit: Feinstein re: Brennan’s lying about spying on Senators and staff, Clapper’s out and out lie—also under oath re: spying on US’ns—one of the significant straws bringing on Julian Assange’s current and likely permanent plight.
The Fibbies, from the arrogant nobody Strzok to the always-unruffled Wray under public Congressional scrutiny share one overt commonality. Come to think about it, only Comey stands out for even barely approaching any signs of discomfiture under personal query. The too-tall perennial Boy Scout has some residual upbringing issues, is my take on that. Contrast that with the disdain of Representatives like Plaskett and DWS when dealing with anyone deemed opposition to the hierarchy like Taibbi-Schellenberger, RFK, Jr. They might appear distinct from Republicans on one level, but loyal subjects to Clinton Inc, etc they remain, because that’s from where the power and money flow forth. Dick Cheney used ‘the Snarl’ ploy to contain the press and public, even if it wasn’t acting, it served him well.
Which leaves me with the distinct impression that they are all “made-men” and women when it comes to public accountability. The breach is pretty much set in stone. They live in their world alone, untroubled by the peasantry / pissantery. Our very real problem is we merely exist on the periphery of that world of Theirs.
Our insignificance and superfluousness to the function of Their world of psycho and sociopathy is sadly the natural order of things when such perverted power goes too long unchecked. Leaving but one way to reverse the current and worsening lopsidedness.
“Will we?” is the tossup, hypothetical question.
Remember a couple of years ago when Brandon was warning the unvaxxxed about the Winter of Death and Serious Illness? Well, he was half right. It’s coming. This is the year. It won’t be unvaxxxed though. It will be the other side. The all shot up, terminally terrified, stand with Ukraine and confused about whether their penises make them boys or girls are, by and large, not going to make it through the coming winter. May the Lord have mercy on their souls…if He can find one.
Then there will be the Brits, who are being “encouraged” to go without heat in their homes overnight.
That should add to the death toll.
Both of you (liz and Beryl) have captured the essence well. H/T and a bow.
Time for my “We were made for these times, otherwise we would not have been born into them.” I must admit though, given the situation / plight which is ours, I might have to say “borne into them.”
Whatevvs…
I’ve never had the heating on overnight except about twice in my life when I’ve forgotten to turn it off (having overridden the timer late in the evening). And I live in Scotland. 🙂
Can’t stand waking up in a warm room.
I haven’t had the heat on overnight for twenty-odd years. Well–except when extremely low temperatures were forecast for overnight. So, in some cases, I would leave the heat on overnight to keep the pipes from freezing.
This wasn’t always entirely by choice. Much of the time, I’ve had a wood stove, and much of the time a propane fireplace. The thermostat for the propane fireplace was the remote, but the remote crapped out, and the company that sold me the setup went out of business. It was thus no longer possible to buy a new remote, and the fireplace was either on or it was off. So I turned it off overnight to avoid being baked.
A wood stove will of course continue to heat the house through most of the night–though it can be mighty chilly in the morning. So you turn to “oven heat” until you’ve got the fire going again.
Cool air is much better for sleep, too.
Some of the most delicious and wonderfully comfy sleep I’ve ever had was at around 20 below zero. The temps had been at around zero during daytime and I’d been out icefishing. The sleeping bag I was using I still have today, it’s goosedown rated down to 30 below. It took some minutes to warm up after transferring to the big puffy mummy bag, but once there it’s a wonderful feeling to be heating up just fine but in heat you’ve made with your own body. Discomfort arises if you have to get up and outside to pee. I’d image a pee trip to be even more uncomfortable for female sub zero campers. That’s one of the few times I think Jarek would allow women to have penis envy.
In my opinion, the global warming agenda is about turning the Earth’s ecosystem over to Wall Street, with the cap and trade scam, and the cow fart narratives.
What ever happened to the conservationists? How did they get turned into “environmentalists”, and then into All Climate Change, All The Time?
Is conservation a bad word? It certainly is to the cornucopians on this blog.
But what about the people who used to try to live simply? What happened to them?’
This article talks about the crashing ecosystems of the planet.
\://peckford42.wordpress.com/2023/08/22/yes-ecosystems-are-collapsing-no-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-co2/
Eco-systems are not collapsing.
More fear porn for the lefties here who cannot let go of their conditioning.
As they slowly accept the truth, they do mental gymnastics to quell the cognitive dissonance and now begin to question CO2, but the core belief cannot change.
At least not yet.
Ruled by emotion.
They certainly are.
But not because of carbon dioxide and warming.
Soil and ocean “fisheries” degradation
Forest degradation
Desertification
A lot of man, a lot of nature.
But it is happening.
The inescapable reality is that a world with a lot less people means more bounty for less.
The world at today’s human load is bleak.
Lest you think the masses are intent and content on subsiding in shack filled shantytowns eating rice.
Based on what evidence? Provide me (at the least) roundtable discussion with or white papers from with data with proponents and critics of your theories.
Open discussion of these issues on forums for public consumption does not exist. Your ideas are the same as those pushing the Great Reset, who own the media and have captured academic institutions around the globe.
“[…]a roundtable discussion with or white papers (with data) from proponents and critics of your theories.
(Anyone who doesn’t agree with me and ever agrees with even one single Great-Resetter position is the all-but-confirmed enemy. If you are such a one seeking to propose some contrary idea, please provide me with fully annotated white papers from with *sic the data, with proponents and critics of your theories. Please bring the materials in one manila envelope to my bunker door but do not approach too fast or too slow. Please leave materials propped against said bunker door at precisely a 37° angle from the perpendicular and back away at a slow pace. Perhaps I will consider them, in my time, which is precious. Thank you.)
Gus,
You often get emotional on this topic (as we can see), so let me explain the post to you:
My point is that there is nothing in the public sphere that has more than one side presenting an argument. Because the discussion is controlled.
Unless you or our new and very vocal poster can provide me with something.
Have at it.
Nigh Towel, it’s all out there. Books, documentaries, studies, scholarly research, news articles.
Many that do not blame the degradation on climate warming.
Anecdotal evidence.
Say, remember in Europe when monkfish were kept behind the counter?
Remember the local catch?

Educate yourself. You look silly

@ Night Owl:
No collapsing ecosystems around here; no desertification or forest degradation.
If desertification and forest degradation are really occurring, where is the happening? Maybe I’m uninformed, by I know of no such place.
Certainly there are environmental problems. Perhaps the most serious one here is soil degradation and environmental poisoning caused by destructive agricultural practices–caused by Big Ag, caused by government subsidies. This has nothing whatsoever to do with overpopulation or climate change. Frankly, these problems are caused, purely and simply, by government taking a wrecking ball to the land. They could be solved simply by stopping the destruction.
Show us, Gus.
For and against.
You can’t.
And it makes you angry.
Crusty Night Towel (eww gross)
It’s all out there.
China, Saudi, Spain efforts to combat desertification.
Israelis in Africa working towards solutions for the same.

Night Owl, it could possibly be nice to have actual in-depth back and forth on these issues on CFN, but you feign interest in back and forth—last thing you want is debate. You start by claiming, completely without any evidence presented at all, that whole swaths of thought and data are psyopped by the Resetters. And I remember your debate style, where you bring nothing to the table at all, while simultaneously self-pleasuring with constant announcements of victories you’re winning.
Back and forth would ensue if you had any interest… or maybe capability. But you’re happy with your pet sources and youtubers, who, miraculously, alone have escaped the great Reset propaganda machine that has contaminated every other information source on Earth.
There was once a continuous forest for more than a thousand miles in the East, both north and south. Gone.
Once millions of buffalo roamed the Great Plains. Gone.
And the ancient mega-fauna? Killed off by the Indians.
Man destroys eco-systems. That’s what he does. Anthea doesn’t see it? She seems to be limited to what her own personal senses perceive. Does she believe in the North Pole – even though she hasn’t been there?
Just provide what was asked, Gus.
You can’t and it is quite obvious.
Of late, in local media (print & electronic) we have been seeing headlines such as:
‘The New Global Boiling, A Survival Guide’
‘Say Goodbye to the Hottest Summer in 125,000 Years. Autumn Could be Worse’
‘Residents Seek Counseling to deal with Extreme Heat’
The thing is, we haven’t had any extreme heat; we had 4 days all summer that reached the 90°F barrier. That last story I read in our local newspaper one recent perfect picture morning on my patio with a temp, so cool I had to put on a flannel shirt. Its obviously just lying bullsh#t propaganda… the question is, what’s its purpose?
I think this summer has actually been a bit cooler than previous summers.
Granted I am lucky enough, heat-wise, to live on an island, but it is not out of the ordinary to have a few days north of 90F. This summer, aside from a couple of sticky weeks in the high eighties in July, we really haven’t had a very hot summer, in my perception.
Per an online search:
“As of August 12, the highest temperature recorded in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts in 2023 is 88 °F which happened on Jul 30.”
\
Another search:
“Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts weather averages and records from 1946–2023 based on data made available by the NOAA. The highest temperature ever recorded in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts was 99 °F which occurred on August 27, 1948.”
This summer has been quite cool and rainy here.
In fact, it is probably the coolest summer I have experienced in my time here.
The UK has had a crap summer. I don’t mind, because I don’t like the heat, but I don’t like those endlessly weird skies that we have, which I don’t think are natural.
We’ve had a perfectly average summer here–nearly ideal: 80s and 90s for most of the summer, plus the perfectly normal heat-waves (up to 101°) in July and Augst. These lasted about a week, as usual, with one dry spell in July–a pretty regular thing. (Sometimes you have to water the garden.) Other than that, rainfall has been adequate.
We’ve had two or three much hotter summers in the twenty-odd years that I’ve lived in this rural area. There was at least one where all the cornfields were destroyed by heat and drought. I think that was about 15 years ago. It was disturbing to drive for miles past hundreds of acres of dead, brown cornfields. I stayed with my daughter for a couple of the days with highs of 108°, that year, because her apartment had central air.
BRH-
Here in western NY the entire summer has been sunny and mid-70s to mid-80s, which is nearly perfect.
The local lake levels are on the high side.
The past few days have seen fall-like dips to the 50s and 60s.
What, “Global Boiling?”
This summer in Boise was cooler than the last 2. And way rainier, which was great. We didn’t even get to spring ’til May. It was cold all spring.
They are desperately posting that we’re boiling because the weak will believe it. They don’t believe their lying eyes, they believe the MSM.
The Dust Bowl was a collapsed ecosystem, the biggest natural disaster in the US history. It was man-made.
Over-farming, over-developing natural areas for homes, dam-building, ruined habitats, this is heavily documented.
Understanding that that occurs, has occurred and will keep occurring has nothing to do with the Great Reset.
It has to do with conservation, which is actually at this juncture not related, because the Great Reset, Green-washing, the Green New Deal, etc. are hoaxes.
You should stop conflating them. Paula gets it, you do not.
Exactly. Soil, ocean “fisheries”, and old growth forests “the lungs of the planet” were all degraded from over-exploitation and mismanagement.
Because of greed, once again.
But buying carbon credits, the next great false commodity, will make that all go away, right?
As will eating bugs and owning nothing, right?
😉
My sunflowers were 15 feet tall, with the flowers the size of dinner plates two years ago. This year? Little more than half as tall with flowers the size of tea plates.
Wtf happened? I didn’t replenish the soil enough. NO has to go back to the basics. He has forgotten so much that he once knew.
The famed Cuban cigars? Not Cuban anymore, the soil is played out. Grown and produced in parts of Central America. Are they still rolled on the thighs of Cuban women or has that changed too?
You know la leyenda de la negrita?
Are you an H. Upmann man?
They say the terroir is gone.
They say lack of fertilizers.
Depleted soils.
They say Nicaraguans are better.
Now that last one is still a lie.
Edge Lord: “Ecosystems are collapsing.”
Night Owl: Show me evidence.
Edge Lord: “It’s all out there Night Towl! Educate yourself already.”
Deep thoughts with the Edge Lord.
No thoughts with Crusty Night Towel.
Head buried in his desktop.
If I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist.
Do opposition research for me!
Imagine a university debate team unable to argue either side of a topic.
Simpleton
Still nothing?
I am shocked, I tell you.
Night Owl: What is a desert, Jarek?
“Eco-systems are not collapsing.”
Ignorance…
Cheeky of you to speak of “fear porn,” your main schtick.
Go on, snort some more Atrazine and Glyphosate, enjoy radioactive sushi and mother’s milk micro plastics, ponder the vast landfills and polluted waters, inform yourself about dead soils and DNA fun and games by Monsanto, read about heirloom seed saving farmers in India and elsewhere being sued to suicide by the corporations, enjoy the gazillion additives, chemicals and GMO’s in your food, take a bird’s eye view of millions of acres slashed and burning as we speak, have a moment of sympathy towards the species going extinct every single day.
Dummy.
Rulo:
Traditional environmentalists and conservationists see ecosystems collapsing. They have noticed this for centuries, actually. The influences of humans’ activities on the environment.
But they look to specific causes, which generally are fairly easy to understand, and don’t reach for the all-purpose buzzwords: CO2 and AGW, with are political/PR constructs.
The very fact that scientific discussion of these ideas is suppressed if scientists’ conclusion deviate from the official narrative is a clear signal that they are being used more like advertising: to cause emotional reactions and hence weaken people’s ability to reason.
Another challenger arrives, but brings no evidence of “ecosystem collapse.”
That reminds me, Ruloious, you still have provided no evidence that we are at “carrying capacity,” nor any hard numbers on what said carrying capacity amounts to.
Let the hate flow through you. When it has done so then you will perhaps be in a calmer state of mind and capable of supplying what was asked of you.
Get yourself schmuck
So much anger.
So little content.
Yes. Anyone thinks Gates Rothschild and the Great Resetters are the biggest enemies to industrial civilization and the USA.. has only just begun to clear his/her head..
A finger points one post above..
Humans are the pollutant.
This is a fact.
They are destroying the planet.
They can’t say this, so they have to frame it as human activity.
Now they can’t say humans wanting to eat seafood, live in a 3000 square foot home, driving 2 cars, and vacationing on the Mayan Riviera is impossible and destructive so they have to target a benign culprit.
A plentiful gas.
Well, everything humans do, including breathing, produces it.
So you curtail their activities
You curtail their quality of life
You curtail their numbers.
Of course you cannot tell people that their goal of a simple middle class lifestyle is untenable.
You would get them in the streets.
Particularly when the overlords have multiple homes, yachts, planes, exotic automobiles, refined palates that prefer to consume increasing rare meats.
So you tell them that the world is melting and it’s their fault. We are “all” going to have to “reduce” our “impact”.
Make life less enjoyable and less affordable for you.
And, ultimately, less desirable… for you of course.
They can’t stop Hunga-Tonga, and they certainly won’t report on the astronomical amounts of carbon dioxide and water vapor it released. In fact, they are saying the opposite! It is not causing climate change.
You absolutely cannot make this absurdity up.
It’s not contributing to climate change because it’s not man-made.
The Canadian arson fires? Man-made!
Greece arson fires: man!
Tenerife arson fires: man!
Maui incompetence: man!
Maui incompetence
“Ya. That’s it. That’s the ticket!”
Hundreds of Americans were incinerated while they were barricaded from their escape. Those incompetent knuckleheads!
Wanna buy a bridge, Edgy? You can put up a toll booth and make a fortune.
Yeah the local police, the politicians, the utility operators were all in on genocide.
You are the mirror image of the extreme left: no logic. No proof. No facts
Genocide!
What a dipsh*t
Yeah the local police, the politicians, the utility operators were all in on genocide.
That is a strawman Edgy. I never said that but you corruptly make it appear that I did to easily discredit me. Smarten up, child. You should discuss adult topics like a man, child.
Of course, throughout mankind’s history, “I was just following orders” is the common refrain of the people who facilitated genocide. Surely you know that, right?
The police officer that barricaded those hundreds of American citizens for their incineration on 8/8 literally said, claims an eye-witness, “I am just following orders.”
Just like all the other genocides, Edgy. Exactly the same.
***
Do you really believe that brush fires got to 1,300F, Edgy? That’s what it takes to melt aluminum. There was melted aluminum all over Lahaina. I have seen it on the ground. There is proof. Tons of proof.
Brush fires burn at about 500F, Edgy. Do you believe in science? If so, the melted aluminum in Lahaina needs explanation while brush fires and incompetence won’t suffice.
***
Speaking of proof, Edgy, you claimed many days ago that incompetence was the cause of hundreds of Americans being held to their incineration on Front Street and that that has been “proven.” I asked for this “proof” but you simply ignored my request.
I believe that you did so because that it has not been “proven” and, rather, you are completely full of shit. Pretty sure.
One can get a small pizza oven to 900° in less than 30 minutes, so yes I believe a conflagration of buildings, cars, fuel, accelerant, lithium ion batteries, etc. can easily get to that temperature and beyond and melt metals and more.
Have you never seen the results of a vehicle fire, or the much covered Tesla fires?
You’re a sensationalist bullshit artist.
And a fraud.
Yet that’s your point.
Don’t tell me my point, Edgy. How’s about I speak for me and you speak for you? FYI – That’s how adults discuss things.
Last night, I saw footage of two cars in Lahaina Luna that had melted aluminum (1,300F) that ran on the ground before transforming back to its normal state (solid). They were in a scorched green area surrounded by unharmed buildings. A brush fire, two non-EV cars and melted aluminum. Science.
If I see it again, I will post a link for your consideration.
***
Edgy, you claimed several days ago that incompetence was “proven” in these hundreds or thousands of incinerations. I have repeatedly asked you for this “proof” yet you continue to ignore this valid request to validate what you claim here on CFN and, instead, launch into lame ad homs, child.
Do you have “proof” while nobody else does … or are you (obviously) completely full of shit?
Logically, it is either A or B, Edgy. A or B.
You have no right to implore logic.
You’re a buffoon
That’s your role.
Perform, freak
“The Canadian arson fires? Man-made!
Greece arson fires: man!
Tenerife arson fires: man!
Maui incompetence: man!”
Well, the irony here is that the climate alarmists pronounce the cause of the fires as “man” to be a very long causal chain of effett that supposedly starts with “man” living on planet eartly.
“Man” definitely does *not* mean a guy setting a fire, nor a guy too stupid to know how to run an electric grid, nor how to put out a fire before it becomes a “wildfire.”
The point is that even if there is a preponderance of evidence that said fires were ignited by men, in a direct purposeful action: to create a large destructive fire, it’s not the criminal action that matters, or is even man-made, it’s the “underlying conditions” that allow that action to become a sweeping destructive firestorm. It’s gaslighting without any remorse
Zonk , do you just parrot all the bullshit you see on the web posted by all the other whackadoodles? Like the tree trimmer and the school teacher video you quoted from yesterday? The guy didn’t have a clue.
Which particulars did he not have a clue about?
No, I do not, StEF. Actually, I never quoted at all from that video. Someone (Islander?) posted a link to that video and I said that I had watched it.
Brame made a lot of sense to me, though. Trees don’t burn from the inside out in normal fires. Roots that normally shoot after normal fires are completely dead.
What makes you say that this guy, who has hiked California as an arborist for four decades, hasn’t a clue?
***
Lahaina stinks to high heaven. Hundreds if not thousands of Americans were incinerated in an American town by American officials barricading them from escape! Those are indisputeable facts … yet nobody seems to care at all. For shame.
You should get your virtuous crocodile tear shedding OG ass over there and volunteer.
You might finally get lei’d
What Edge said.
OG, STFU and go help in Maui. You don’t have a job, or any responsibilities. Do something with your life.
Read: Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas–Not Less by Alex Epstein (Author)
Half the book considers the ideology and the information ‘system’ that has produced so many believers in this insanity. The core founders, indeed, hate humanity with a passion.
Well, they have a Final Solution to the Climate Change dilemma, EL. You are correct, when you get right down to it, the problem is human beings; and a goodly number of them must be eliminated. Population experts under the auspices of the UN, the WEF, the IMF & a half dozen other international globalist organizations have drawn up plans, and they don’t include most of us living happily ever after. 5 billion human beings need to go if we’re going to bring that global temp. down 1.5°C by 2050. They’re not trying to hide their intentions; they give TED talks on the subject and appear on plenty of youtube video.
“We’d rather have reductions in world population be voluntary, not coerced. But coercion might be necessary.”
One interesting facet I gleaned while listening to a few of these population reduction talks is that they never identify overpopulated areas of the world, like central Africa or S Asia, that need to be dealt with. Instead they point to the ‘Global North’, which seems almost like a code word for ‘Whitey.’
Correct.
Because there are too many of us living too high off the hog.
Now, if we’d consider life in a dirt floor corrugated steel roofed shack, like the denizens of say Mumbai, São Paulo, or Lagos, perhaps they’d allow us to persist.
But those people are not competing with them for the finer things.
They know the poor aspire to a middle class lifestyle. The quintessential “American Dream”: a home, a car, fast casual dinners on weekends, annual trips to Wally World.
The goal is to make the current middle class standard less of a benchmark. Less of a goal. Less all around.
Rare.
Soon, the destitute will perceive middle class as living in an apartment tower. Having a car rental subscription, enjoying high quality bug meal foodstuffs. Vacations every 5 years, your air-mile allotment.
“Humans are the pollutant”
The padded cell beckons.
thanks for the link, quick read, #4 in particular is so on target
#4 “large antennas are being used to push air masses around the globe.” ” Hurricanes are being steered toward inhabited areas.”
A single cubic mile of air weighs 6 million tons or 60 aircraft carriers. A small weather system would probably be thousands of cubic miles. You do the math. Where does the energy come from to steer these biillions of tons of mass? Especially while Sol wants to steer them somewhere else? Are the hundreds of nuclear reactors hidden underground somewhere?Another crazy web conspiracy. Whackadoodles
Sharks, with laser beams?
I live simply. Right now I am really pissed because the weather “authorities” who also double as climate experts said it was going to be ‘cloudy’ all day, but it sure looks like it is going to rain, and my laundry is hanging outside.
I leave my laundry hanging if we really need rain. If we are desperate for rain, I leave my car windows open.
LOL! I’m actually moving my living room furniture outside this week to paint and do floors. I’ll let you know how it goes. Might prompt flooding.
When I lived in NYC, if the subway train took too long to arrive, I would light a cigarette.
A train would arrive right away!!
That always worked in restaurants, too.
And while waiting for your bus.
Yeah, I schedule a day at the beach. It works every time.
Conditional. Conditionality. “If.”
The near-plangent aura that surrounds the ever-increasing absurdities of the United States’ federal system, the breaking down of justices’ machinery, the hyper-venality of our politics and most things military, while hovering over it all like an ill wind, our failing-in-real-time so-called economic system. It’s a problem. For worldwide civilization.
Here at home we’re daunted and diminished, battered and bereaved, sullied by the cancerous juggernaut that dominates all, yet we cling with slipping fingers to our notional memories of ‘Fortress America’ as an inviolable and sacred security. But it’s wearing thin, thin, thin.
The psychology of our enduring faith in corrupted institutions, a hard-inculcated habitual exercise, compels us to crave for the succor they once offered, but in reality it is an epic tragedy of both personal and collective unfolding as the mask comes off.
And as the masks come back on. The irony is…
No, a real Fortress America would have worked. An America of 220 million, 90% White could have kept its borders closed, it’s military strong – and watched the world die.
Instead we let the Globalists destroy us first so that they could destroy the rest of the world next – or so they thought.
We once produced enough food in this country to feed the world. Now we have food shortages or scarcity. We once had the security of being bordered on three sides by oceans and to the north by Canada, We no longer have that security. We once produced everything we needed right here and were energy independent from the rest of the world. Our elected representatives destroyed all of it.
I comfort myself at night sometimes by imagining them swinging from lampposts lining the streets.
You see clearly. You even care about your race – very rare in Christians (so called).
Christ said, My Kingdom is not of this world. Real Christians believed him and never bothered to learn much about this World as it is. Thus other peoples could easily destroy them. So a new breed arose, that did care and thus a new chapter in Western Civilization was opened.
That turn your other cheek stuff is only for monks and nuns. Many of the new Christians are fake, needless to say. On the other hand, Christ did speak of Wisdom. And Paul of Counsels of Perfection. You have to defend yourself, your possessions, your family, community, and nation. Surely Christ knew this. Surely the Holy Spirit imparted it to the Church Fathers.
In any case, only Christ bearers can make Capitalism or Socialism work in a truly humane fashion. Or communalism. Or hunter-gathering.
Those who are too good for this ugly world must renounce it – and pray for those that protect and provide for them. The Amish and traditional Mennonites provide for themselves but depend on the State for protection. The good ones pray for their benefactors.
Turn the other cheek types are poison in politics and economics. Life is war! We live in a fallen world after all.
You deny the ability of God to protect those who abide in His word,don’t you Jarek? If you do then maybe you ought to consider that the term “Christians” had the original meaning of Little Christs.. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord and strive to be conformed to His image. How much of a Little Christ” are you, Jarek?
Yeah, He works thru natural law for the most part. Those who want miracles all day, every day are no better than women and children.
Natural Law is his Law. And it includes violence and killing. Christ revered the Old Testament and the Law. Lots of killing in those.
At the behest of the true rulers of the country. They are different people, who have adopted left-wing ideology. Once the left took over the Universities it was over. People sneer at intellectual egg-heads, but in the end, they can change the culture, and that changes the politics. There is pushback, but it will be the work of generations to change the culture, if some leaders can even be found to start that work.
I do believe that Woodrow Wilson was responsible for what you describe.
He was elected to “keep us out of war.” Instead he listened the blandishments of both his “brain,” Colonel House, and the British. They did a deal to get the US into the war and also on board for the Balfour Declaration and the League of Nations (although the latter was a hard sell after the war, and never was accepted by the US Congress).
Millions of immigrants were admitted who had their own agendas and soon had taken over the political system.
The USA was never able to go back to the isolationism that most of its citizens preferred before the Great War.
Islander, to be fair, Teddy Roosevelt and that whole branch of the Republican Party were pretty jingoistic and eager to get into the war, too.
General Leonard Wood even set up a training camp with money provided by the Republican Party to train militia to fight in France if they couldn’t prod Wilson to declare war.
BRH,
What I said.
Wilson won the presidency over Roosevelt with a policy of neutrality and, specifically, in 1916, with the slogan–actually, a popular song— “He kept us out of war.”
Another slogan of Wilson’s was “America First.”
Who had to go to pave the way to WW1?

Paula, how many of those individuals were murdered by Zaz’s Anarchists. I count at least 10.
I second that, Paula. How many of those individuals were murdered by BackRowHeckler’s anarchists? 10 seems way too low.
“The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other – instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.” ~ Edward Abbey
Sure Zaz, as if in the unlikely event Anarchists ever got in control of National Governments … everlasting Peace would prevail lol.
I guess anarchists were the ISIS proxy terrorists, back then.
Rather like antifa, today.
A Foundational Crossroads
You’re looking on the wrong end, folks…
The other end is the foundation, where things start and are built upon, unless you live in cloud cuckoo land:
• The State is foundationally coercive/non-consensual.
• Anarchy is foundationally non-coercive/consensual
Paula, what is a word for non-consensual sex? I’ll give you a hint: It’s four letters long and starts with the letter r.

Congrats to all of you key board pounders! Have you contacted your Representatives in Congress? I e-mailed my Republican Congressman this morning reminding him that I will vote for his new challenger in the primary election. I also congratulated him for sucking up to Kevin McCarthy who controls campaign money.
As a resident of PA, I have a worthless House member and Casey and Fetterman as my Senators! We were so lucky to have a State Republican controlled legislature push mail-in ballots. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia now control the outcome of our elections. I’m sure our Democratic Governor will figure a way to register all of our new illegals via the State Driver License Centers.
In plain words, people better get off their ass and start raising hell. America is failing!
In the interim, Kamala replaces Feinstein, Newsome becomes VP. Biden resigns, Newsome becomes President and pardons the Biden crime family. Newsome wins the 2024 presidential election via cheating and illegals voting for their welfare program.
Keep working and paying taxes,,,fools! They have you where they want you and don’t forget to mask-up!
New York doesn’t have two distinct political parties.
This is the result of our education system. Giuliani served as Mayor of NYC, until 2001. But, the next generation of elites proved to be hopeless.
You can raise hell, but they don’t care. They have the money and the professional class, and think that is all they need.
“All Aboard the Impeachment Express”
History from decades ago warns that one needs to be damned careful about what kind of Train they board. The Impeachment Train might look good to some, but it’s opening yet another dark chapter in the Failing Experiment of America.
Impeachment is being turned into just a normal day at the office in the toolbox of our inept and clueless (but VERY well paid) Politicians. Impeachment used to be a serious and ‘last resort’ kind of thing… but now is being normalized as a daily weapon for one side to use against The Others.
These guys have so much hate for each other (and the American People while they’re at it) that it’s no wonder nothing good is ever accomplished by these Titled Leeches. They spend all of their hours plotting against the ‘Other Side’… finding additional ways to get even richer… and launching new ways to complicate and ruin the lives of regular Americans.
Yet, they still have the gall to refer to Themselves as… ‘The Honorable’. Sure. Honor — in a pig’s eye.
Look, any sane person knows that both Parties suck. And the leaders of both parties have so much heavy baggage to carry around that they need to bring multiple 747s out of retirement just to move all that crap around. And while the followers of both Parties want to believe that their Leader is some kind of savior of the Nation… that is more wish-fantasy-desire than anything grounded in sane reality. Neither side is going to do a damn thing to help the lives of We the People.
And the one man who just might make moves in that positive direction is facing a futile effort to get the backing of his Party and get a bit of traction in Corporate Media which is hell-bent on slandering him and dragging his name through the mud. (No, he ain’t perfect. But he’s getting more things right than wrong).
“An awful lot of rumors are pinging around lately about a new Covid-19 operation to be sprung on the public any day, with the usual kit of masks, lockdowns, and mandatory vaccinations. Do you really think Americans will comply with another round of this malicious nonsense?”
The Covid Con was skillfully turned in a Great Big (Woke) Cult. An entire religion, actually. A faith with holey (yes, holey) saints like Doctor Death aka ‘The Science!’… a gospel of rigid obedience and Faux-Science worship… sacraments of taking the endless Death Injections… and like most any religion – the demonization of all those who do not believe as they do and who do not conform to such mental derangement.
Don’t ever think that Our World is no longer ‘religious’. In many ways, it has NEVER been more religious. Unfortunately, that religion is a doctrine of lies and atrocious physical harm being injected into our arms and our minds by demons that hide inside our World’s new-found ‘Faith’.
Keep the Faith, right? “People all over the World… Join Hands… Join the Woke Train.. Woke Train!”… the old song might be re-written today by the Covid Cultsters.
Trump appoints RFK, Jr. head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
“Can we, just for a moment, acknowledge what is essentially the miracle of two Black DAs and a Black judge on Trump cases,” Harris says. “What he [Trump] is experiencing now is being held accountable in a system where the wheels of justice have turned in the last 30 years.”

Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty we free at last. But the Whites still to be dealt with….
Jarek: “Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty we free at last…”
History has fully demonstrated that some people absolutely refuse to ever ‘Be Free’. Their belief in ‘Not Being Free’ is now so embedded and intertwined with their personal (and larger racial) identity that they would have no identity at all if they accepted freedom.
Not being ‘free’… being ‘aggrieved’ all the time… feeling you are ‘oppressed’ has been turned into a kind of World Currency for billions of people. Don’t worry about the coming World Digital Currency. ‘Feeling Oppressed’ has been a functioning World Currency for some time now.
To the clear… people and races HAVE BEEN AND ARE oppressed and suffered indignities over the Ages (today, this now fully includes ‘People Of Non-Color). No one needs to be further convinced of that. But at some point, you’ve got to get past that and find a new identity that does require an ‘Oppressed’ and ‘An Oppressor’. That is, you have to move on to this kind of liberating understanding if you want to grow as a human being and become a greater person than you were before.
No one gets anywhere living stuck in the past. Everyone’s done wrongs. Everyone has been oppressed in some (or many) ways in their lives. We as a human race have to finally get passed all that dead weight on our backs (that we ourselves put there!) or we will never be a life form other than one that worships being the worst qualities in our nature. Forever. Stuck in the mud of endless blame and ginned-up feelings of guilt.
‘Free at Last? I WANT MY PAST! No Thanks, Almighty! ‘Free’ ain’t gonna last!’
How easily the Oppressed becomes the Oppressor! They were never interested in equality.

Can you blame us? When you are a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. The entirety of society is conspiring against us. I look at everything I am fed with a jaundiced eye. I don’t trust anyone or anything except myself.
Exactly. And doubly so when the police barricaded hundreds or thousands to their incineration deaths that included melted aluminum everywhere. Note: Aluminum melts at 1,220F but requires temperatures even hotter than that (1,300F) to run liquid like it did.
Brush fires run at about 500F.
Incompetence is the explanation? That dog don’t hunt.
Here are some standard search results for “how hot is a bonfire”
However, a typical campfire can reach temperatures anywhere from 600 to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit.

How Hot Is A Campfire? (Solved) – Wilderness Redefined
On average, a medium sized fire that’s been well stacked will burn at about 950 degrees Fahrenheit (510 degrees Celsius) at its hottest point.Mar 7, 2022

How Hot is a Campfire? Everything You Need to Know | Untamed Space
C’mon Zonk. Credibility. If you’ve ever burned a brush pile correctly you know it’s a hell of a lot hotter than an oven roasting a chicken.
Rob, Zonk is a fraud.
A character
Regardless, Gus, the Lahaina brush fire melted aluminum to a liquid that ran on the ground. That requires 1,300F.
Lahaina was no simple brush fire that melted aluminum but left asphalt pristine because that is impossible.

Edgy, why don’t you simply share the fact that hundreds or thousands were incinerated by “proven” incompetence? Your proof could alleviate a lot of uncertainty.
Or … as we all know: There is no such proof and you are completely full of shit.
We do have an expert who posts frequently on here; Stelmos spent 30 years as a professional firefighter.
What say you, Stelmos?
Lahaina did not burn in a brush fire. Perhaps initiated by one but with those winds once the fire got into town with that fuel load it became an unstoppable firestorm. Firebrands were flying and starting fires at long distances. I wasn’t there but it must have been unbelievably intense. Do they use asphalt shingles in Hawaii? You might as well cover the roof with diesel once that shit gets going. A simple candle burns at 1800 degrees and alloy rims melt all the time in an intense car fire. I can light steel on fire with a match. Just hold a match to some fine steel wool. It will light right up. I’d like Zonkers to try a little experiment. Turn your oven to 400 degrees. Open the door and put your hand in. You can hold it in there for a while no problem. Now grab the rack. How’d that feel? That’s why wood posts burn where the nails are, whackadoodle.
Nothing burns as hot as St. Elmo’s truth bullets.
So, in the Californian fires that were the subject of the video, when the massive firestorm heated up the nails and singed the wood around them, it just passed on and left the rest of the post looking pristine? Is that how it normally works?
What about the trees burning from the inside, with the leaves and the outside of the trunk left intact
Just asking.
Fair enough, StEF but these questions remain:
1) If this firestorm was so incredibly hot, why is the asphalt still pristine (complete with unharmed embedded plastic reflectors)?
2) Why did plastic with metal melt while flimsy plastic without remain unharmed?
3) Why did police officials barricade hundreds or thousands to their incineration?
4) Why did the heat and embers not ignite the hotel and the rich people’s nice houses?
Like GA, just asking.
Well here’s an old picture 14 years ago in Australia. Took about 20 seconds to find one. Anything look familiar? Burned cars, melted wheels, trees that still have leaves, probably Eucalyptus. The most flammable tree in the world according to the tree trimmer in the video which was linked to here. When did “They” start with the death rays anyway?
httpx://www.abc.net.au/news/2009-02-09/craig-kidd-looks-at-the-melted-metal-of-alloy/286660
All trees are basically dead inside. The only living part of the trunk is the outside where the bark grows and the water is transported. I’ve got knotholes from lost branches on trees in my yard that are squirrel hotels. The trees are partially hollow inside but look perfectly healthy because they are. 100 ft tall and fully leafed out. Metal is the best heat conductor in the world, air perhaps the worst. Those posts looked like they were hit with water while they were burning. They talk about no black stuff after the fire. Black is what you get when the fire is stopped before it’s done. I burn a lot of wood and at the end I have nothing but gray ash.
“All trees are basically dead inside.”
Not generally pitch black, though?
The police created a kill box. Whatever the source of the fire, why did they do that?
zOGnk,
There’s a great line from “The Big Lebowski”. Well, there are many, but the one by Goodman comes to mind, “You’re out of your element”
Jarek, why did the Uvalde police do nothing?
On scene and hearing the children getting executing.
Well, Uvalde is very poor, and the people there are fairly poor, and their education and intelligence levels are very poor.
Now you have rather unintelligent people lead by unintelligent leaders (the Uvalde chief was previous to the incident elected to a political position) doing unintelligent things.
By our standards.
The only people who survived reacted off of instinct. A very low form of intelligence. Crucial, but low. Mothers running in and grabbing their kids. A father (a CBP officer not from there) grabbing his gun and executing the killer.
In Lahaina, those who trusted their instinct over the decisions derived from low intelligence survived.
An average intelligent person’s gut is more intelligent than stupid people making stupid decisions
“Not generally pitch black, though?”
I’m not sure what you mean. Of course they would be black after they were burned on the inside.
1. If this firestorm was so incredibly hot, why is the asphalt still pristine (complete with unharmed embedded plastic reflectors)?
Rule no. 1 “Stay low in a fire.” You can’t get much lower than embedded in the ground. also “Thermal Mass”. I’m sure there’s plenty of damaged asphalt where the cars melted down.
2. I don’t have a clue what your talking about.
3. Just following orders. The whole scene was an out of control Clusterfuck. I’ve been there at big fires and this one was a Cluster of epic proportions. Chaos rules. I can’t imagine a 75-80 wind driven fire in closely built wood framed houses.
4. Educate yourself on construction types. I’d bet most homes burned were all type 5’s
httpx://www.bigrentz.com/blog/building-construction-types
Type 1: Fire-resistive: High-rise buildings made of concrete and protected steel
Type 2: Non-combustible: Newer buildings with tilt-slab or reinforced masonry walls and a metal roof
Type 3: Ordinary: New or old buildings with non-combustible walls but a wood-framed roof
Type 4: Heavy Timber: Older buildings made from thick lumber
Type 5: Wood-framed: Modern buildings with combustible framing and roofs
I admit individual officers may have just been following orders, go left, then north, etc – not knowing they were creating a traffic jam on the blocked Front St.
But somebody(s) knew and told them to do that.
Stel: What about the trees? Why didn’t they burn?
Why doesn’t the oven catch on fire? Why doesn’t the stomach digest itself?
Is steel wool steel?
St Elmo wrote:
” Firebrands were flying and starting fires at long distances.”
Sense unclear to me.
What are firebrands? People? Or Things?
Do you feel that a team of good firefighters could have stopped this, or halted its spread?
What about hosing down all houses/roofs with water ?
What about creating fire breaks?
Was there any firefighter response at all?
Is there a “best practices” reason that would explain not letting people leave the burning areas?
Can seawater be used for firefighting?
Thanks for any solid info you can provide. I feel that the incompetence issue is getting conflated with the existence of a nefarious agenda.
Are we talking here about criminal negligence?
Thanks again.
“I’m not sure what you mean. Of course they would be black after they were burned on the inside.”
I meant how come there were trees burned black in the inside but not burned on the outside. There’s a cross section in the film of a tree that’s burned black only in the middle. Brame said all the trees were dead, but not externally burned, and the soil was sterile and remained sterile.
Green Alba wrote:
““All trees are basically dead inside.”
Not generally pitch black, though?
I think the contention is that the interior of the tree will burn because it is dead/dry. Whereas the outside—the xylem and phloem, I seem to recall—contain water and hence would be less flammable.
But I cannot picture how fire can enter the core of a tree and burn up, without oxygen.
Hosing down roofs?
You do know they don’t absorb water right? They do exactly the opposite. Now a roof with some surface water may resist a small ember, but be serious. Think.
Have you ever watered a sidewalk or deck in heat and wind? It dissipates in an instant. Pointless.
A garden hose is not going to stop a wind fueled blaze.
This is elementary level
islander
I haven’t gone back to the video to check, but I seem to remember the guy saying it was the trees that retain most water (like willows) that burned the worst, which sounds counterintuitive.
Edge Lord instructs stupid little me:
“Hosing down roofs?
“You do know they don’t absorb water right? They do exactly the opposite. Now a roof with some surface water may resist a small ember, but be serious. Think.
“Have you ever watered a sidewalk or deck in heat and wind? It dissipates in an instant. Pointless.

“This is elementary level”
Uh, firefighters do it around here (the “garden hose” is your own mental image).
My question was not directed toward you, Mr. Arrogant.
Further explanation for Mr. Arrogant of the reason for wetting down a roof to prevent spread of fire:
“Fire from one building can cause a fire in another building even though the fire is not touching the building or very close by. This is due to radiation (a method of heat transfer) from the fire. Radiation can cause the temperature of a combustible material to raise. If the exposed surface reaches the autoignition temperature of the object, the object can erupt into flames. By applying water to the exposed surface, the material will not reach its autoignition temperature.”
Furthermore, the fire will lose a lot of heat/energy by turning the water to steam.
I welcome further feedback on this subject from an actual firefighter.
Islander, Firebrands are anything flaming that’s flying through the air pushed by the wind or by convection currents created by the fire/fires themselves. Imagine an asphalt roof in flames with 80-90 mph winds. Flaming shingles ripped off and carried away like blobs of burning tar sticking to and igniting anything they landed on. Think flaming arrows from the middle ages.
FF’s maybe could have stopped it, doubtful without much manpower and equipment. The wind was the thing. Many FF’s have been trapped and killed by fast moving wildfires. We had a fire on a clear cold March night after a fresh Noreaster moved through. Apartment complex, plywood siding, “only” 20-30 mph west wind. It was a miracle we held it to one 12 unit building. Most everybody thought we’d lose the whole complex. The roofs were all covered in snow. That probably saved all the exposures.
Firebreaks, yea maybe dynamite. It’s been used before. No way in a wooden town with that wind.
FF response? I don’t have a clue about the cities resources or response.
Of course seawater can be used. Any engine could have drafted water from the sea and relay pumped it to wherever it was needed but this fire was out of control minutes after it got into town. It takes time and man/womanpower ( woke term haha) to drag and lay lines all over the place. Time they didn’t have.
Is cement siding non-combustible?
“Is cement siding non-combustible?” yes, non-combustible. I actually use some cement siding around my half-assed wood burning maple sugar set-up to block air leaks in the fire box. Mine are cement/asbestos the new ones are cement/fiberglass so I would think they would also not burn. I have cement/asbestos on my house. Good stuff. Holds paint forever. I painted over 30 years ago and the stuff does not peel or bubble. The asbestos is locked in so no problem.Just don’t cut/grind/sand it.
Right. We gravitate to mass murder … and you use that as some bizarre “proof” that all those dead weren’t mass-murdered (like that makes any sense at all!).
You refuse to consider facts, evidence and eyewitness testimony. You psychologically shut reality out, Edgy, and I believe that I know why:
I believe that your brain protects itself from reality. If you ever realized that, yes, American citizens were purposefully incinerated in an American town by American officials then your psyche would rupture beyond repair. So you guffaw and ad hom and deny reality.
I saw this constantly when discussing 9/11. It is childlike behaviour.
Huxley talks about this. The brain is a reducing mechanism that makes life more easily possible, narrowing the potential intake for us. Sad, really.
As Blake said, if the senses were cleansed everything would be seen as it is, infinite.
It is akin to a desktop on a computer.
You’re not seeing the code of the universe. The hard raw data.
You’re seeing your brain’s reduction of the data. It’s symbolic equivalent.
You’re not seeing the code of the calendar app on your desktop. You’re seeing it’s easily understood representations.
A bat and whale and dolphin have even different desktops as do moles and earthworms and mosquitos.
Your entire mind serves to protect you from reality schmuck.
People take mind altering drugs to inhibit the desktop, to glimpse the code.
So the romance of hallucinogenics says
“I believe the brain protects…”
You’ve only now come to this revelation, unaided?
It’s a matter of belief in your world?
Like belief in weather machines, eh?
So you think bats and whales can and if so, should, have babies together?
If not, why not. Show your work. Surfaces matter – they indicate deeper differences, Schmuck.
I wasn’t calling you the schmuck.
And what are you going on about? Babies?
The reality presented by the human mind is not equal to the reality presented by the minds of other living creatures.
You do not see what a honeybee sees.
You don’t detect what a wolf smells.
Because your mind has evolved to show you different things. To place importance upon different things.
It’s not in your programming. It’s not how you process the code
How you process the code is part of the programming too.
Of course it’s culture – because it’s genetic first.
Each of the finches of the different islands makes a nest in a slightly different way. Each of the ways work. Cross a finch with a finch from a different island and you have a confusion of methods and an inferior nest and a loss of eggs and/or fledglings.

Expand your mind. 90 percent of what has become reality was called the same only a few years ago.
In fact, you often remind me of one of our most infamous banned posters.
Curious.

Devolution. Along with the city-states, we get the feudalism all over again.
All the big billionaire techies, refugees from a smouldering San Francisco, sitting around eating their fresh veggies & drinking bottled water inside their lefty utopia, patting themselves on the back for the exclusive paradise they’ve created; an elitist never ending circle jerk.

Jarek: Q is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.

Too many shortcuts will get you lost.
Americans will comply with the Covid 2.0 nonsense. Nothing will happen to Biden, Garland, Wray or any of the others. Sorry, Jim.
Many will. Same over here in Europe.
Occasionally, I try a conversational test balloon here and there to see how normies react. It’s bad. Some at least nod and seem moderately interested before telling me that they think climate change is even more of a threat than whatever I was talking about (IDs, CBDC, etc.)
Yep. Had this convo with my folks today. The second they roll out the next variant, 90% off Britons will be quaking in their boots and getting their masks on.
First time around, 18.9 million adult Brits (according to Professor Norman Fenton’s calculations from ONS data) never even got a first jab. I don’t know what proportion of the total population are over 18, but that’s not a bad chunk of people who never caved. And lots more have woken up since then. So I think it will be more nuanced, with at least 50% of adults not going near another vaxx, perhaps more.
Maybe that’s wishful thinking – I don’t know. I agree that from my own family, friends and acquaintances, I’d be less optimistic, but they’re all Guardian readers and I really think they’ll be the last to wake up. Most people aren’t Guardian readers. 🙂
You just reminded me of a big chuckle I got sometime in 2020, with one of my sisters telling me that she “did her research” by reading the Guardian and Huffington Post.
It’s a good thing she couldn’t see my expression on the other end of the line.
She’s quadruple-jabbed and a big advocate of the trans agenda to boot.
I’ve written quite a few sarky emails to Guardian hacks, principally because there’s a simple email address formula that’s easy to remember.
I told Marina Hyde (who had just written a hit piece on Naomi Wolf) that The Guardian had played a blinder, making its readers the dumbest and most gullible on the planet by the simple expedient of persuading them that they were more intelligent than readers of the Daily Mail.
Well done, G.A.
And that is hilarious.
Those numbers may or may not be true, Alba, but they all danced to tune of masks and lockdowns, which was disastrous. I’ve got no doubt that most people will cave and fall in line rather than be personally inconvenienced in any way.
Hope you are well!
I’m fine, thanks, Slugoon. Hope all is well in the semi-rural north-west!
Saw an article from ‘The i’ just now (can’t find it again) pointing out how the masking, social distancing and lockdown sceptics have been found to be totally wrong because of the lives saved. You couldn’t make it up (well, they do).
Our host keeps lit the torch of hope that this corrupt regime will be overthrown, that the American public will escape the thrall of corporate media brainwashing, and that the good old U S of A will soon get a reboot and, with it, a chance to put things right.
I can’t help but notice that almost none of the regular readers of this forum have the least bit of hope for any of that.
I don’t, either.
Two years from now I see President Newsom thanking the American sheeple for obediently wearing masks 24/7, reminding us to keep getting our weekly boosters, and anyone asking about the massive vote-counting fraud that put him in office the previous November being disappeared without a trace.
“Do you really think Americans will comply with another round of this malicious nonsense”?
I wouldn’t be at all surprised. What percentage of Americans went “all in” on all the Covid stuff back in that time? And I presume never woke up. They’ll be back with their little white masks in short order. And getting all shot up in the arm again.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people en masse.
Here come the maskers. Saw the first one in our building at work, and it was a young ‘un, probably 30 tops.
We’re doomed to civil conflict. I just intercepted this message (from a guy I once admired.)
This proves the likely impossibility of resolving our differences peacefully. I’m still shaking my head at how deeply the willful ignorance goes…. and then becomes stupidity.

You just can’t fix stupid. Can’t do it!
Dis, maybe you can make a fortune starting a stupid repair business. Lord knows, we need one.
I have been seeing people in masks the whole time since whenever. IOW the masking never stopped completely.
So, I wouldn’t panic and draw conclusions from seeing a few. Last night at the movies I only noticed two maskers, and they were a couple. They looked so ridiculous with these objects sticking out in front of their faces . . .
But, there have always been a few of the permanently brainwashed.
I don’t panic about it, but it is annoying to be reminded what imbeciles people are.

” Prohibition ended in 1933 ”
— Vegan Shark
No , it got re – named / re – packaged.
And since in the opening stages it was primarily targeted at the Black community , they had 20 years of the frog in the pot of slowly boiling water.
Indeed , it took Blacks themselves 50 years to figure out it was the same scheme re – packaged.
By that time , just about everyone who was 20 or 30 years old in 1919 is dead ,
and the vast majority still breathing remember all of this as normal , traditional.
” The New Normal ” has already happened.
” Perhaps instead of indulging their defeatism here, CFN commenters could better spend their time by contacting their elected representatives ”
— Islander
I don’t have any elected representatives.
Anyway , I think I’m doing my bit trying to point out to people that Prohibition is bullshit.
It’s an important issue I think.
It seems to me only a small step from disarming bootleggers to disarming everybody.
It seems to me only a small step from legitimizing the use of force against people because what they are doing you theorize is harmful ,
to no Vax , no food.
And many other things.
Meanwhile , though I do NOT think you can prove the streets were safer in 1919 ,
you ALSO CANNOT prove they are any safer than they were in 1919.
* It seems to me only a small step from legitimizing the use of force against people because what they are doing you theorize is harmful ,
to no Vax , no food.
Correction ; no small step. It is the same thing.
It sure looks to me like , the use of force is legitimate against people you theorize are doing something harmful , is precisely the narrative used by the no vax / no food crowd.
The streets were safer then. Crime statistics matter.
You love the subjective, being a creature of hurricane force whims. The objective cramps your style.
In your utopia, men don’t exist, right? What does that tell you?
In my more optimistic moments, I like to believe that we may be on the cusp of something much more significant than the impeachment express–the first chaotic stirrings of a genuine, and at this point non-manipulated, collective resistance to what passes for our managerial status-quo.
But the real emergence of such organic resistance may depend on our capacity to function as outlaws with the highest degree of self-restraint.
One key issue becomes whether Donald Trump himself (now an officially designated outlaw) has acquired the wisdom to overcome his nihilistic egoism and begin to articulate a politics of limits–laying the foundation, through example, for a dramatically different type of authority in this country.
A second key issue is whether we, as average citizens, still believe in ourselves as history-making beings capable of collective action.
I find it very manipulative, cynical, and disingenuous how the extremist left is empowering black American prosecutors, judges, and district attorneys to lead this prosecution of Trump.
By making it so obvious their thing, their mission for justice, is to make it racial. Not against Trump, but against his prosecution.
It is nauseatingly cynical
You’re not trying to give Blacks a pass I hope. Trying to insinuate that they lack moral agency? That’s they’re just big children?
In any case, the ones involved deserve a spanking even if you’re right and they aren’t our equals.
You know the prosecution of a former president and current leading contender of the opposition party does not happen without a strongly supported green light
Refusal to answer noted.
I don’t agree with lumping ‘Blacks’ all into one group. Stereotyping comes to mind.
It is late here on the East Coast, nearing 22:00. Possibly I can revisit this another day.
As with may issues (not positions) there are a number of moving parts. Many more than a ‘sound byte’.
49 percent don’t think it’s ok to be White. So that’s a big chunk right there, right? Do you know a priori which are the bad ones? And do the good ones reject the bad ones? Probably not, right?
As Scott Adams says, It’s not going to get better. There is no solution except to avoid them.
The Democrats don’t mind.
They’re making the prosecution of Trump a “black” thing.
It’s very obvious. They really do use the blacks like pieces on a chessboard.
It’s very sickening
Is Joe Biden a “Policy Wonk”, like Henry Kissinger?
Do you remember that Freudian book “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”? The rich, secretive Oligarch, Willy Wonka, was giving out golden tickets to the little kids to visit his secretive, mysterious Chocolate Factory. That story is really about pedaphilia, right?
Joe Biden always invites the little kids to visit the White House alone without their parents.
Yes, it’s “That Bad”…..
Was that story by Roald Dahl?
Who-the-Hell is Roald Dahl?
You really don’t know who Raold Dohl is?
2 of us dont know of him.
I just ordered The Shiva Sutras. We can consider them a more advanced version of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, much like Kalergi’s, “Practical Idealism” is to the Protocols.
The Protocols don’t even mention race per se, just Us and them. But race is the secret to undermining the West. And Kalergi focuses on this chink in our armor. We think that only ideas matter! Too “good” to focus on ourselves as biological entities, and as a sub-species – even as everyone else is doing so. People want Western Civilization without Whites and the Kingdom of Heaven without God right here on Earth.
Roald Dahl was the author of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” you dolt.
I remember being shocked by one of Roald Dahl’s more adult-oriented works that my elementary school library somehow had on the shelf.
Not what I was accustomed to after The Witches, CatCF, JatGP, etc.
Dahl definitely had a dark side.
Recently there was an article about him in the London Review of Books It appears to be not behind a paywall, after to do the “manage cookies” business ( I reject all).
httpX://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v44/n24/colin-burrow/the-comeuppance-button
Burrow discussed the fact that there is a push on to Bowdlerize Dahl’s works to make them less unsettling to the woke snowflakes.
Which, in light of the kinds of books that the woke are putting on school libraries shelves, seems totally absurd to me (Bowdlerizing good writers is absurd anyhow; it’s just another layer of absurdness and hypocrisy).
Dahl is associated with Brit Intel as well.
Yes.

” If humans can manage to colonize Mars, maybe by 2171, something similar to your story could happen there, although a new species like that makes 2171 easily too early, unless by genetic engineering. Is that part of it? ”
— Zazelle
I tend to think 2171 is a bit early myself.
On the other hand , in the book / movie , ” Never Let Me Go ” cloning is perfected in the late 1950’s – early 1960’s , and the story is set in the 1970’s – 1980’s and focuses on some non – person clones and their brief and seemingly pointless lives . Brief lives due to the harvesting of their organs.
Setting the story in a past that has already not happened seems to do it no harm.
As likewise George Orwells 1984 is 30 years past now.
I’m not into Numerology , indeed I know nothing of it but the name.
But I like numbers that end in one.
And the year 1971 has great importance to me personally , but for reasons that would still take a wall of text , and you probably still wouldn’t fathom the importance , and not because you are stupid or anything.
So ; 2171 is our year.
Coincidentally , ” Never Let Me Go ” was my working title .
Because while our Cassie is fully aware that the Smoking Bees could kill her at any time , she has lived her whole conscious life among them , and only wants to be one of them and accepted by them.
But this guy I previously never heard of , Kazou Ishiguro , beat me to the title.
” genetic engineering. Is that part of it? ”
Yes .
But our narrator is Cassie , a teenage girl .
The Smoking Bees don’t like to emphasize their human origins , but what comes through in the history that the Smoking Bees present is that humans wanted to create a human that was more docile and controllable.
The old power and control thing.
But they created instead a new species that was more cohesive , like Bees , and concerned with looking out for number one — their own species.
All Cassie knows is that there is just one sex , and three – to – five year olds periodically show up at the doorstep of her commune to replace those who have died off.
These little ones originate from the communes of the Ouslaufah .
Cassie isn’t allowed any further than the front gate of an Ouslafah commune.
And the girls of the Ouslaufah are the ones who really scare her or intimidate her.
As I said before , Cassie is a kind of pet , and treated like a pet.
But when she occasionally runs into Ouslaufah , those girls look at her with menace / malice.
Ouslaufah wear pink and white uniforms , and are alternatively called Flamingoes .
As to their fashion sense in general , imagine Soviet Army uniforms of the 1970’s , but with pleated miniskirts .
Though the primary headgear for infantry Communes in her part of the world resembles the embroidered Mitre caps of grenadiers of the 18th Century.
Anyway , the only other possible reference to genetic engineering is that in a large room of the administrative offices of her commune the ceiling is covered with about a hundred stuffed Ivory Billed Woodpeckers .
A species already extinct or near extinct in the 20th Century.
As I said they are very cohesive , they have no war , no crime , no prisons or police.
On the other hand , they have no concept of privacy. None.
And their religious services and holidays are decidedly militaristic.
As I said , their holidays are war games.
Cassie’s best friend , or handler , and herself , crew an anti – tank gun on holidays.
This anti – tank gun ;
youtube.com/watch?v=GBjFwBKQpog
Like the guy says , a weapon pretty much obsolete by 1941.
But then the standard infantry weapon is a Snaphaunce , like this ;
youtube.com/watch?v=iPIwF7GkfG8
Rather unreal.
Presumably when the humans were a problem they were using more practical weapons.
But that is not unheard of.
Japan made contact with Europeans around 1540 , and in the ensueing Japanese Civil War adopted fire arms in a big way.
By 1601 and the end of the civil war , the Japanese were further along in fire arms technology than the europeans.
After the civil war , though , Japan isolated itself from the world , and Japan was not particularly threatened by the outside world.
So by the time Matthew Perry sailed into Tokyo harbor in 1850 ( ? )
the Japanese were back to using the spears , bows , and swords that the Samurai preferred.
So , yeah , militaristic , but very much a religious service or a holiday.
Firearms ruin everything. The Way of the Sword maximizes the Warrior Dharma.
What’s his name wrote that novel, you know the thing, where the protagonist (what’s his name), a genius, discovered a way out of the human dilemma, a way to make the male and the female, one so as to create Homo Noeticus. He knew there was no way they would they wouldn’t use his work and as a flawed member of the soon to be obsolete species, he killed himself.
KA, it was the Portugese who introduced guns to Japan, in 1545 I believe. They traded 3 arbequeses (muskets most likely made by the Germans) to the Japanese, who used them as a template to build an entire national firearms industry.
I find it pretty amazing that the Portugese made it all the way to Japan by the 1540s (and as I mentioned, along with Japanese soldiers and the Spanish Navy, invaded Cambodia in 1593 lol)
Soon after Portugal brought in a huge number of Black slaves – the only country in Europe to do so. It became ten percent Black! Slavery ended and the Blacks disappeared into the population – as did Portugal’s Empire and greatness.
No White Western Nation can sustain such a blow to its genotype.
We don’t need empires anymore. We don’t need “greatness”. We’ll never be “great again”, instead we’ll be average. If being average isn’t good enough, well, tough shit! Average republics fail at around 250 years old, we’re about there. People like you and others in here will argue that we’re above average and must stay that way forever. That’s a delusion.
It’s the same sort of delusion suffered by so many males are upset and depressed about their penises being of average length. Average seems to be around 5.5 inches according to the most reliable studies out there. It never occurs to all these males suffering from anxiety about just being an average guy – that the vagina averages around 4 inches in depth. An average woman might not like a 7 inch penis banging away on her cervix and causing other discomforts. But the average guy insists that if his isn’t at least 7 inches like on the porn sites he watches – something is wrong! Being average just ain’t gonna cut it with the ladies. And for the USA to just exist as an ordinary, average, minding my own business sort of country that doesn’t attack its neighbors?
Nope! Can’t have that! We’re not about to put up with having average sized 5 inch dicks. And we’re not about to be an average country that has no empire. Only empires can have the big dicks and get the right to strut around on the world stage displaying for everyone to see. The rest of the average nations just need to lower their eyes and shut up – the big dick’s in town and there is nothing to be done about it.
It’s evolution, if with the usual attempts– intellectually or otherwise– to socially (and/or otherwise) engineer or guide it.
Over time, however, I’m unsure the engineering parts of it matter all that much– assuming they gain any traction– such as where nature has the final say and the human-engineered bits, where they’re unfit, get filtered out.
It’s perhaps like some hypothetical dystopian collapse of a society that leaves all its dog breeds to finally breed of their own volition among each other. Over time, lots of attributes get filtered out until the breeds have all been re-wilded, with an appearance to match. I can think of some breeds that might not make it, can you?
‘White’– let’s accept the term at face-value for the sake of argument here– happened some time ago because nature ‘decided’ upon it within certain sets of contexts (it was ‘fit’ for its time and place) that are outside of current contexts that will continue to drift further afield as time goes on, thus changing what is ‘fit’.
Nature, rather than, say, some anons online, has the best and final say on what is and will be fit, going forward.
Still think race is just skin color? You’re not even part of the conversation then.
You think animals are better than people though you aren’t honest enough to say it so bluntly and honestly. Admitting to a value system is so middle class….
As Chesterton said, Only dead things (or very primitive forms of life) simply go with the flow. Even fish fight against it to get back home and lay their eggs. Even animals are often higher than your reductionism.
“Still think race is just skin color?” ~ Jarek
—
Of course not and that’s the whole point or one of the main ones and a problem for those who would try so hard and obtusely to engineer reality for their own limited perspectives.
They might get their reality, but then watch it slip away into the abyss of time.
Time and I are good friends, Jarek.

KA, I recall a viable plan, done in stages, to make the planet Mars inhabitable with an atmosphere developed in stages to mirror Earth.
This was around 1990. 2171 doesn’t seem out of the question. What I think is more a standout is the plans appear stalled for the past 30+ years.
For the past 30+ years I’ve wondered why we as a species are not acting on those ideas.
Is the collective self-interest not yet advanced to the point of the inhabitants seeing this long view as viable?
I recall a recounting of a church group in England planting an oak tree grove. They had no particular need for the oak trees in their present time.
Advance the time line 400 years, the descendants of the planting group needed to build a new church building to replace the now well-worn one, …and there was this 400 year old well-developed oak grove just waiting to meet their need.
Wouldn’t it be better to keep the Earth habitable, then to spend Earth’s resources trying to make Mars habitable?
Is it really wise to strip the resources of the planet we evolved to live on, in a futile attempt to go to another one, and see if it works out better there?
I hear what you are saying, Paula, but to me, I feel a spiritual need for us to explore the universe. As someone said (Robert Heinlein or somebody of that caliber), we shouldn’t put all our eggs in one planet. Financially, there’s no near timeline on making money out of this endeavor, but compared to the Earth’s total resources, such a project would relatively take but a pittance of them.
Sometimes these stories can be good. I recall an odd but enjoyable one by Spider Robinson, call Telempath.
Do the Russian people know that Catherine the Great liked to literally do it with a male horse and that her kid, Peter the Great, found her sexual proclivities hugely embarrassing?
What do we know about the Russian oligarchs today?
They seem to float around on huge, fancy yachts?
Did he know which stallion was his father? I mean since genetics doesn’t matter but rather only diversity. Robins don’t date Robins anymore but only anything but Robins.
Pucker, you really are a dolt.
You are retailing crap.
There is not one jot of evidence for such a stupid idea.
And, what the hell does this crap have to do with this thread?
Find something intelligent to contribute.
How dare you speak to Pucker like this? He contributes greatly!
He was the one to reveal that Western Women are mostly Witches!
Thank you very much.
Scene from the movie “Deliverance”:
Ned starts sobbing into his mashed potatoes. Bobby to break the tension interjects:
“This corn sure is special, ain’t it?”
There is not a shred of historical evidence supporting this claim about Catherine doing it with a horse. Well, to make sure about this, I spent a bit of time googling this topic. First I’d heard about this particular bit of mythology happened long ago in college when I’d been taking some classes in Russian. And it’s such a silly claim to make. Horses are very powerful and potentially dangerous animals. A woman attempting such a thing is asking for a trip to the ER – or even the graveyard.
Catherine was very powerful, very attractive, very enlightened (she spoke multiple languages and had a correspondence with Voltaire).
She had a succession of lovers—not all that many—each of which was more or less her “favorite” who also supported her politically and at court.
Then she met Potemkin. He was Catherine’s most important political and romantic partner.
During her reign Russia drove the Golden Horde out of the Ukraine (Mala Rossiya) and the Crimea for once and for all and incorporated both lands in Russia. Catherine built the city of Sebastopol to be a headquarters for the Russian navy.
In 1787 Catherine made a six-month tour of the incorporated lands, traditionally called the Taurida Voyage.
httpX://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_journey_of_Catherine_the_Great
Tiny minds mocking Catherine the Great is just pathetic and cringe-inducing.
Demand unwavering loyalty from everyone but be beholden to no one. Must be a nice gig if you can get it.
CDC Now Refusing New COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports in Its V-Safe Program
BrownStone Institute. August 24, 2023
By David Gortler
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) V-safe website quietly stopped collecting adverse event reports with no reason or explanation. The V-safe website simply states: “Thank you for your participation. Data collection for COVID-19 vaccines concluded on June 30, 2023.” If you go there today, V-safe directs users to the FDA’s VAERS website for adverse event reporting, even though officials continually derided VAERS as “passive” and “unverified.”
VAERS and V-safe are mutually exclusive safety collection databases operated by the FDA and CDC, respectively. VAERS is an older way of collecting safety data where one can fill out a form online, or manually, or by calling a toll-free number, whereas V-safe is a device “app” which requires online registration. Both VAERS and V-safe collect personal information, lot numbers, dates and associated information, but V-safe was an active collection system geared towards a younger app-using demographic.
Here is the last report before deletion.
Does this mean that the CDC believes that the mRNA Covid-19 injections are so safe, there is no need to monitor adverse event reports any longer? What is the argument against continued monitoring, especially since the V-safe website was already up and paid for?
While CDC’s V-safe was stealthily and abruptly turned off, refusing to accept new safety reports, to this very day the CDC continues to urge everyone ages 6 months and older to stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and boosters.
As a drug safety expert, I personally can’t cite another example of any agency or manufacturer halting collection of safety data. It seems even worse because mRNA technology is relatively new with long-term toxicity manifestations being unknown. On top of this, both manufacturers and the FDA refuse to share the list of ingredients, such as lipid nanoparticles, which could affect individuals differently and take a long time to manifest clinically.
Safety Data Collection Should Never Stop
Now, contrast that with the fact that the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) will still accept a safety report for a 30-year-old Ford Bronco II. Indeed, this is an oddly specific example, but only because I drove this exact vehicle as a family hand-me-down as a student, through my residency, fellowship, for my tenure as a Yale professor on the mean streets of New Haven and even during my years at the FDA as a medical officer /senior medical analyst.
Like mRNA shots, Bronco IIs are still available on the market and people are still using them up to this very day. My Bronco became an intermittent topic of conversation with friends and FDA colleagues. One day, I was informed by a patrolling security guard at the FDA that it was the oldest car on campus.
I didn’t know much about cars (or mRNA technology) back then, but when a fellow FDA-er informed me that my Bronco II had noteworthy safety problems and that the NHTSA still had their eye on this vehicle (rollover accidents were more common and more fatal) I addressed the problem: I got rid of the reliable relic, even though I really liked it.
NHTSA is still accepting safety reports on things like my 30-year-old Ford Bronco II, but the CDC isn’t accepting new safety reports on 2-year old novel mRNA vaccines.
CDC No longer accepting safety reports despite rapidly increasing safety findings:
Unlike my old Bronco, mRNA injections have only been on the market for about two years, and according to the FDA Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database, mRNA “vaccines” have been named the primary suspect in over 1.5 million adverse event reports, of which there are >20,000 heart attacks and >27,000 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis just in the USA alone. Worldwide numbers would be greater. According to many references, including an FDA-funded study out of Harvard, VAERS reports represent fewer than 1 percent of vaccine adverse events that actually occur.
Interestingly, the NHTSA link above on my Ford Bronco II only shows: one parts recall, one investigation and 23 complaints, and still features a button in the upper right hand corner for submitting new complaints.
Wikipedia defines an humanitarian crisis or humanitarian disaster as a: “singular event or a series of events that are threatening in terms of health, safety or well-being of a community or large group of people.” Based on VAERS and previous V-safe findings, adverse events from mRNA shots in the USA alone could be considered a humanitarian crisis.
Despite those alarming clinical findings, the CDC has concluded that collecting new safety reports is somehow no longer in the interest of America’s public health. Existing data from the V-safe site showed around 6.5 million adverse events/health impacts out of 10.1 million users, with around 2 million of those people unable to conduct normal activities of daily living or needing medical care, according to a third-party rendering of its findings. In other words, despite mRNA shots still being widely available and the CDC promoting its continued use, it’s “case closed” with regards to collecting new safety reports under today’s federal public health administration.
Will the CDC opine on the existing data or justify its halting of collecting new safety data? To the best of my knowledge, stopping the collection of public health information doesn’t have a clinical justification or scientific precedence — especially when it comes to an actively marketed product.
In George Orwell’s 1984, characters were told by The Party to “reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.” Now, the CDC isn’t even allowing that evidence to be collected for viewing (and prospective rejecting). It’s a terrible idea for any product, let alone novel mRNA technologies.
Is a Brownstone just a higher class “Triple Decka” as we say in Boston? Does it always have three stories?
Triple Deckers are wood. I grew up in a Yellowstone, but across the street were Triple Deckers. It was the only Yellowstone I’ve ever seen.
A brownstone building is made of brownstone.
httpX://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownstone
A lot of buildings in American cities were made of brownstone in the latter half of the nineteenth century.
Number of stories?
You’re on your own now.
Most of that brownstone came from the quarries right here in Portland, Ct. I think there is still one mine left, a kind of boutique operation, but mostly they are abandoned, filled with water, hundreds of yards deep and a place, every few years or so, a reckless teenager drowns while drinking & swimming.
Here, we call that red sandstone. Glasgow is largely built with it. In Edinburgh the sandstone is yellow. Well, buff coloured, I suppose, but it’s called yellow sandstone.
Maybe our red sandstone is slightly redder than your brownstone – hard to tell on a screen as calibration is never the same from one computer to another.
‘Is a Brownstone just a higher class “Triple Decka” ‘
I’d say the Back Bay is a lot different from Dorchester.
You gut that right.
A brownstone is a much better class of housing than a double- or triple-decker.
As for fire trap, I hope you have the common sense and wherewithal to choose to live in an brownstone in the Back Bay or the South End, not in a triple-decker in Somerville or Dorchester (pron Dowahchesta).
Many of those triple-deckers had asphalt shingle siding. FF’s call it gasoline siding. Shit burns quick and hot. Vinyl siding is not much better.
With DES, it took them 40 years to pull the drug. They found that it gave cancer to the daughters of the women who took it (kudos to whoever spotted that). No-one knows if it will give cancer to the granddaughters, as far as I know.
And don’t forget thalidomide.
They “thought it was safe for pregnant women.”
Until the birth defects started popping out.
I had three COVID Shots. I still got COVID. I was reading about a year ago about the VAERS Report. It lists some of the issues with the vaccine. I’m 77 years old and came up with Crohn’s Disease about 6-8 months after the shots. The VAERS Report says Crohn’s can be caused by the vaccine. I questioned my PCP, my Gastro doctor.\, and my Cardio doctor. Not one of them new about VAERS and the consequences of the vaccine. Mt eye doctor just had breast cancer and my Cardio doctor’s wife has breast cancer. They had the shots. My Cardio doctor told me his wife of 60 was very healthy and had no family history of breast cancer.
My mother age 98 was in decent health for her age. Eight months after the vaccine she died of COVID/Heart Failure. My best friend’s wife age 75, died in April. Her lungs were full of blood clots after the shots. My cousin age 38 in excellent health died in his sleep after the shot.
I’m sure none of this was reported.
Honestly, someone should be executed for this tragedy! But the big money will move on and look at us as just another bunch of dumb animals that they can use and abuse!
What a travesty.
Did you take the opportunity to enlighten your PCP and other drs? They must be told of the seriously of their dereliction of duty, and their kicking the Hippocratic Oath to the curb.
At least you have survived the Crohn’s, but you have sustained major losses. It is so horrifying to hear of this sequence of loss.
Perhaps are in a good position to warn others of the dangers of these shots.
This is really horrible to read. So sorry this happened to your family and friends, and yourself.
My 105 year-old grandmother was tough as nails, smart as a whip, 100% German. They jabbed her in Jan. 2020. She had a stroke two or three months after that. She left this realm in the summer of 2021. Her name was Mary.
My cousin’s 18 year-old son died in his sleep Dec. 30, 2022 after having a clot from his thumb to his shoulder removed months earlier.
[they] look at us as just another bunch of dumb animals that they can use and abuse!
Truly.
gosh
OMG malthuss, such strong language!
My mother had her first shot split into two doses at two different times. She took the first dose shot and immediately got some odd health issues that went away. I successfully convinced her, after her reading a whole lot of material I printed out, not to take the second dose, nor any boosters. She is and has been fine.
My condolences incidentally.
Do you remember when the Cuban exile assassin had Fidel Castro lined up in the sights of his bazooka, and then he chickened out at the last minute?
What a Big Latino Pussy!
Assuming that the AI really knows me better than I know myself, then do you think that someday they’ll give me one of those big cakes from which a naked dumb blonde pops out of the top of the cake and shouts “Surprise!”?

“So far, the cabal running the “Joe Biden” show has avoided nuclear war as a distraction from what is hands-down the worst scandal in American history, way worse than Watergate. The four absurd Trump prosecutions are all ginned-up now, but may have peaked for distraction power — months of dull procedural wrangling lie ahead. “JHK
So, Biden et al are clearly criminals, but where’s Comer’s proof? The stuff that, in his own words, he ‘hopes’ to find.
Yet the indictments of Trump & his collection of pathetic lawyerly minions are just “ginned up”? Okay – so I can’t believe my lying eyes, huh? FFS.
To some degree I argue that proof represents privilege. Firstly, no one is required to provide you evidence of any kind. And if you really believe that your eyes need evidence to tell you the truth then you are only fooling yourself. That is why there is going to be all of the procedural wrangling. The Biden clan has much greater levels of privilege than the Trump clan. That factoid should inform you that the Biden clan is already starting out on the wrong side of the judicial scale. Privilege is not obtained by being goody two shoes in the current milieu.
@SSL – huh? Do you really think any of that makes any kind of actual sense?
Then you misuse a word like “factoid”…
fac·toid
/?fak?toid/
noun
an assumption or speculation that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact.
What is it with liberals and objective reality?
Every conversation with a liberal devolves into them telling you, “How DARE you….” interject facts, data, statistics, truth, or objective reality into the discussion.
Another favorite liberal gambit is to tell you that you don’t have a RIGHT to have an opinion (for “opinion,” read “facts, reality, and black-letter law) about any of the various tenets of the liberal faith, whether it be about covid, the vaccines, crime, climate change, etc.
JHK listed the proof.
Maybe read the article again.
The Babylon Bee nailed Mike Sherman to a T.
LOL!
He listed nothing but speculation and hearsay he gleaned from his increasingly deranged right-wing nutjob sources.
I saw the video of Biden bragging about blackmailing the Ukrainian official.
How’d you miss that?
@ Mike Sherman:
If I’m not mistaken, there are absolute reams of proof against the Bidens, in the form of bank records. I’m reminded of the Babylon Bee headline, “Democrats say it will take a lot more than eyewitness testimony, bank records, audio, video, complete confessions for them to believe Biden did anything wrong.”
As far as I can tell, many or most of the charges against Trump are directly or indirectly related to him questioning the 2020 election, and are thus highly bizarre.
Puzzling that you can’t figure this out.
What is puzzling about a shill shilling for their candidate at all costs even when presented with massive evidence they are not good people?

There is a mass murder here, a holocaust, a burnt sacrifice.
I charge Joe Biden with treason.
There were five suicides in Lahaina today.
Edgy’s brain: “maybe … maybe …”
Edgy’s fingers: “That is fake news and that sombre, Hawaiian-looking guy who makes these horrible claims against our government and then leads us in prayer is a … reverse crisis actor hired by … … Morgan Fairchild!”
Right?
***
Less than three weeks and an eyewitness/victim has publicly called it “a holocaust,” Edgy. Maybe my claims of “genocide” are much more aligned with the reality of USA Inc. than your feeble, little brain could handle.
You best bet is to get jabbed in the fall, Edgy. Stick with the program and you will own nothing and be as happy as a cow in the meadow. Well, stockade and slaughterhouse but you get my drift.

I did not know that stelmo was a multi-decade fireman. Once I found that out, I asked him questions. “Asking an expert questions is not being out of one’s realm, Dude. Asking an expert questions is how one gathers intel, Dude.”
Zonk,
Not only was the Saint a fireman…he also owns a weed eater….
Just sayin’
I can very easily imagine that Lahaina representa a mass ritual sacrifice to Molech. There are many different ritual sacrifices that have occurred. This is one of them. The southern border, the jabs, Las Vegas, Nashville, and the list goes on and on. I’ve even thought the Boxing Day tsunami could be one.
That concert where 8 died where the stage was a portal to hell? And the 8 who died were hit with something? Everyone there had to be vaxxed. It was very weird. The lead performer didn’t stop singing when the people were dying. Very little coverage…
Oh yeah, the Astroworld Festival. Yeah that was definitely a Satanic ritual and sacrifice. The graphene oxide in the jabbed concertgoers was supposedly activated to cause heart attacks and then those souls were supposedly sucked through the Portal into the nether realms and the Devil was able to feast on the energies of those souls. Really freaky stuff happening everywhere at this point.
Kanye appeared with this guy recently just to confirm his return to the fold.
Conversions to Christianity can fail. His did.
This place is worse than the National Enquirer
They were crushed.
It’s not the first time this has happened at a music festival.
How many jabs have you had, Edgy?
Are you pumped for your annual two-fer? Flu & the COVIDs. That’s why God gave you two arms, you know?
Ok so even if they were crushed they could have still been considered to be a sacrifice?
No, they weren’t, according to witnesses.
It was a terrible event.
Please return to Earth.

I’m on the Earth. It was very horrible for sure. It seems like more could have been done to help the people. It doesn’t seem like Travis Scott or the people running the concert did enough to try to get people to disperse out. The setup was almost like it was done for stampede conditions. I dunno. Very odd honestly.
is there any disaster, anywhere, anytime, that you wouldn’t think was some kind of ‘mass ritual sacrifice to Moloch’?
I was thinking the same thing myself, that this was another huge blood sacrifice to usher in the power for their next stage.
Maybe these people don’t know what a satanic ritual looks like.
One doesn’t have to be religious to understand someone else is a satanist, not sure what puts them in such denial, esp. since so many of the elites flat out admit it and talk about their own rituals.
Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates are joining the BRICS group of nations. The six newcomers will become full-fledged members starting 1 January 2024.
Ringing in the New Year.
Operation Sandman: There is a school of thought that believes that BRICS will fulfill biblical prophesy and crash the entire Western financial house of cards one day.
I felt like it was an omen too. I have never heard of Operation Sandman before.
Ouch! I don’t think its a smart move to mixing up biblibal scripture and what the owners and controllers of global financial capital are thinking and going to do.
On a happy note, there is a school of thought in an Muslim BRICS country telling of a Golden age. Not much publicized but its there.
What? The Bible teaches us much about the rise of the Beast System. Of course the bad guys are characters with roles and deeds in this majestic fulfillment of His word.
The Bible teaches much, each according to his capacity but this burden, this “Beast system”, will be destroyed.
Yes. God wins.
Brazil and Argentina
Well, there goes the Monroe Doctrine!
Yeah!!
Brazil and Argentina are the BRICS countries of the NEW World known as South and North America.
These 2 want to be free to create BRICS-style Economic projects in their southern hemisphere. But they will still be able to benefit – deal and trade – with other BRICS and Non-BRICS countries.
I’m a little hesitant about trains. The accommodations better be nice, and the ride better not be too bumpy lol. But maybe the destination will be worth it. Honestly I would like a lot more than impeachment though. Military tribunals with the traitor treatment for treasoners would be interesting. Other possibilities could certainly be entertained. Well anyway, thank you Mr. K. I am really hopeful that the country will en masse at least disavow the covid psyop. I do think the diehard covidians are a minority faction.
” In your utopia, men don’t exist, right? What does that tell you? ”
— Jarek.
Lots of things ! ^ – ^
Like in the factory where I worked we once had a group of Vietnamese Montagnards , fresh off the boat , come in .
They stayed about a year and a half , and left as a group.
They spoke fluent French , but not English.
They were very small people , about the size of your typical 12 year old girl.
One image that still stands out in my mind is a guy that size tooting a 25 foot long wood roof truss across the floor by himself.
No question but that they were hard people.
I was retroactively not surprised that the cousins of these little people won the war.
Another example is the founder of N.W.A . , Easy – E , who at 25 still looked to be about 12 .
In a favorite song he sings ,
” with a gat ( gun ) , it don’t matter if he’s smaller or bigger.
( size don’t mean shit , he’s from the old school , fool ! ) ”
youtube.com/watch?v=fF3aPT7C51Y
Another thing was the sexual Revolution may have been the Pill and Hugh Hefner in 1969 ?
But now it’s a pointless Puritan witch hunt every six months or a year and a half ,
I can’t recall what the bullshit trouble was then ,
but I got the idea then when the thought occurred to me , ” Well if you are that butt hurt , why not use all his fancy technology you got and reduce it to one sex .
Problem solved .
………
But no doubt some new problems created.
Like I suppose if a guy could fit in in their society , and liked his girls small or young , he might think he had landed in paradise the first day or so , but after that think he had landed in Hell.
Like after the fifth or sixth stranger pats you on the butt and sticks their tongue in your mouth,
or after the 20th one , after eating lots of Garlic , still stands less than a foot away from you.
Speaking of meals , some stranger plops down in your lap , and starts eating out of your bowl , with your spoon.
Or they all wear uniforms , made in uniform sizes , so if one needs a size A overcoat to go out in the weather , and yours it’s sitting there , they will take it. And that isn’t stealing , they all do it.
So flu season hits them really hard , but they go right on doing that shit.
Definitely not paradise if you are a germaphobe.
And you better not complain , because they brag about exterminating billions of humans.
And I thought the idea of the death knell of mankind taking the form of a petite , doll – like little girl was sick.
Some folks rate the Twilight Zone episode , ” Living Doll ” one of the most unsettling.
youtube.com/watch?v=w4WWGKbegmI
I just replace the doll with the little girl.
Also , it seems to me that if you are sincerely going to defend totalitarianism as a utopian ideal ,
it’s very likely that at some point the idea that you need a new species will at least cross your mind.
Maybe it doesn’t have to be so scary after all though? Maybe the world simply needs just a little more caring and sharing. Maybe if it wasn’t too much to ask that people follow the rules. But it all is apparently too much to ask. And thus you get your horror show. Talky Tina simply said you better be nice to me. If you consider that is it really too much to ask? It is a relevant discussion. Many people will tell you that its just way too much of an effort for them to be nice or to do right etc. When people are nasty and brutish and cruel does the revenge of the killer dolls really bother you all that much.
Now that I think about it ,
there is a line in a Stevie Nicks song , ” ….sometimes I am surrounded by too much love. ”
And in another one , ” in the sea of love , where every one of you would love to drown. ”
So I thought , ” What if the world was really like that ? Would it be heaven , or would it be hell ? Would it be heaven AND hell ?
” does the revenge of the killer dolls really bother you all that much. ”
Not me.
Like in the commune where Cassie lives they have a really big meat locker.
So when summer comes , many girls go down to the meat locker to sleep . But a lot of girls have that idea , and a meat locker is really cold.
So it typically means sleeping entwined with three or four other girls.

Or on a cold winter night the kitchens will be so packed with girls you can’t cross the room without stepping on someone.
The overflow goes out to the garage where they fire up the huge station wagon limousines they have.
The little girls will cuddle up on the hood over the engine , and the older girls will hang around back at the exhaust pipe.
I think it has a rustic , brutish charm to it.
Well, at least you know someone will be there for you. Entwined like geckos lol. It makes sense that it would be heaven and hell at the same time. It sort of represents the perfect marriage of the dual aspects. Which in reality is what nature and things tend to during the course of time. So not much different than things are now. Different in form and appearance perhaps but not fundamentally different in nature.

Not yet but it is on Amazon Prime right now so I’ll probably watch it this weekend. It’ll be a long weekend so.. ❤

Calm yourself, Q, she meant toting. But perhaps one toots when they tote lol. Ponder it, Q, lol
An awful lot of rumors are pinging around lately about a new Covid-19 operation to be sprung on the public any day, with the usual kit of masks, lockdowns, and mandatory vaccinations. Do you really think Americans will comply with another round of this malicious nonsense? Fuggeddabowdit.
I harbor a fervent hope that you are right about that. At the same time, I am not necessarily counting on it.

They are under ferocious attack via the media. The softening up process that prepares the way for the Bantustans. Mass immigration of Liberals all makes the way clear. They DO view themselves as Missionaries btw – Missionaries who loathe their potential converts, thus they focus on the young.
Mass immigration of non whites.
fixed that.
Nope, both.
I used to think how smart I am (I still think I am). But I was naive. I weighed the odds about getting vaxxed and decided to go ahead with it because of my wife (and other loved ones). Then we got covid. The naive part was not realizing how evil the government was. I’ve always considered the authorities to be wrong-headed and/or incompetent. But not evil. I accept my naïveté. It was just difficult for me to see the evil. Once I saw that, I realized the public never had a chance. The mis-belief is very understandable because of the power of authority.
We were all brainwashed. I think the power of brainwashing is that the brainwashees don’t know they have been brainwashed. Because of this, I don’t castigate the public, but I feel sorry for all of us. Those that call us stupid have no empathy IMO.
It is a scary realization and each arrives in their own time and way. Welcome aboard, good sir!
You are part of the tipping point, btb.. We’re getting real close now.

You, Bill, and Alba, and John, are all very important to the resistance.
You fell for it once, but won’t get fooled again.
Welcome.
I guess there shouldn’t have been a comma between “you” and “Bill”. It makes it seem like I was referring to four people instead of three.
I meant- You Bill. But that seems awkward also.
Anyway, I meant to address Bill in that comment.
Actually, the comma is correct.
You, Bill, are important to the resistance.
The syntax—the fact that “Bill” is vocative (you are addressing Bill)—might have been clearer if you had started with, “Bill,” viz.,
“Bill, you, Alba, and John are all . . . “
Thanks, Islander.
Or maybe, You Bill, are important to the resistance, and so are Alba and John.
Paula,
I would consider “You Bill” incorrect.
“Bill” is an appositive of “you.”
Basic rule of thumb for commas:
One comma separates.
Two commas enclose.
Yes, I realized that after I wrote it.
I agree, we’ve all been duped at some point. The important part is being able to admit we were. It actually takes a lot of guts.
The people I can’t forgive are the ones that perpetrated this, and their flying monkeys, and the people who are smart enough to know better and still wished evil upon those who didn’t fall for it.
If they recant, welcome to the fold. If not, I consider them not worth bothering with.
Here is the real scary part. Devout Socialists–be they Fascist/Socialists, Communist Socialists, or today’s scum Socialist Democrat Party that combines the worst features of both Fascist Socialism and Communist Socialism–never relinquish power voluntarily or peacefully. In fact, their usual reaction is to double and triple down on tyranny and violence against their opponents–exactly what the Democrat scum are doing now. Today’s Democrat Party is no more a party of “working people” as the Hitler’s Nazi Party was a party of “working people” in 1940.
Worse yet, Communist China seems more than willing to help the scum Democrat cause along. Just watch, the Democrat scum are preparing to unleash another big scare about a, to date, non-existent new deadly COVID pandemic. And, if the scare tactics don’t work (and they likely won’t), the ChiComms may be more than willing to unleash the real thing this time–they’ve had 3 years since the 2020 pandemic to perfect gain-of-function viruses. Why do you suppose the ChiComms have been so anxious to acquire Americans’ DNA data?
The Democrat elites don’t care about Americans, other than their own special cronies. If the Democrat scum elites could wipe their entire conservative opposition from top to bottom off of the face of the Earth in one fell swoop without hurting any leftists in the process, they would do it in a second.
You are correct. Perhaps, however this boomerangs right back at them in one righteous fell swoop.
Wow. Your rants are becoming more and more unhinged, pal. It’s clear that you have no idea what “socialist” means, for one thing, nor what “gain of function” is or how it works. Still, I guess it’s nice to have a “safe space” in which you can rant & rage and display your abject impotence.
RO, being nasty is not necessary if you disagree with someone.
Fireboats—perhaps every coastal community in Hawaii should hvae one of these—just $27 million.
$1 billion of the dough sent to the Ukraine could pay for 50 of these, plus crew. Plus, made in USA.
httpX://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Forty_Three
We are inundated with ballyhoo about “pandemic preparedness” as waves of money are channeled into that black hole.
Meanwhile, looks like zero fire preparedness.
The evil and incompetence of any authority is so obvious, now that I’ve joined the ranks of the awakened.
Or, they could have required the billionaire owners of fallow plantations to keep their land cleared.
Around here, if the grass gets above 5 inches, the city forces the landowner to either mow, or pay for mowing.
But Maui left the likes of Zuckerberg and Winfrey alone?
Easier just to have hydrants supplied from the ocean.
Would that really be “easier”?
First, you need to have built the infrastructure piping the water from the ocean to hydrants.
Then you still need fire engines to pump the water and the firefighters are necessarily near to the fire instead of safer out on a boat.
Then you still need water pressure in the system.
Then maybe you have to worry about filtering the ocean water (depending on how far offshore you are drawing the water from), plus about the salt in the water sitting in the pipes. . . .
I’m sticking with the fireboats, especially since they can be deployed and concentrated where needed and draw water from near the surface, regardless of the tides (of course Hawaii doesn’t have much in the way of tides).
I’ll take the fire boat.
My point was either option should have been considered as a backup, but then again, that’s hindsight in an area where that kind of fire was likely never considered. Those high winds were quite the anomaly. If indeed they were an anomaly.
That said, I don’t think filters would be necessary vs screens.
Don’t much matter now. Let’s see what the Owners do….
Saltwater might not be a good idea for the earth after the fact. If the soil is too salinated, plants may find it difficult to grow back.
We had to get our carpets (living room, both bedrooms & stairs). They had never been cleaned since we installed them.they were filthy. The carpet cleaner didn’t come until 4 pm, and the carpets take 12 hours to dry. So where to go? Where do you think? We got a room at Foxwoods for overnight.
On the way down there was a horrific accident on route 95 near the Rhode Island line. They had to close Rt. 95. Needless to say, a 90 minute ride took us 2.5 hours. By the time we got there we were so hungry we immediately went to a restaurant before they closed. It was so late by that time I went straight to bed. My wife wanted to gamble so she went downstairs to the casino, and ended up winning $40.
I’m now going down to gamble. I hope I can win. If we stayed near home we’d have to get a hotel room, which would probably cost $400, but we get comped a free room at Foxwoods, so going there is a no-brainer.
Reminds me of Lost in America [1985]. Albert Brooks and Julie Hagerty each at their very best in a brilliant script. Thankfully your wife did better than Hagerty’s character!

Care to comment on the Police Kill Box? You like reality, right?
Jarek,
You got me…never heard of a “Police Kill Box”. Even Google provided no help.
But…but it sounds interesting.
In Oakland, we only put bad guys into the police kill box, whatever it is….
Still no one has responded to my August 28, 2023 at 4:17 pm # comment.
Let’s make it simple. Does each bacterium in your gut have a soul? i.e. an animating principle that exists during its brief life of about 12 minutes? And when that bacterium dies does its soul cease to exist or does that soul continue to live for all eternity as the human soul supposedly does? If not, why not?
I’d like to hear from messianicdruid, Jarek, Anthea and all other Christians who post here on CFN. Persons of other religions are welcome to chime in as well.
My opinion.
The “soul” of any life form is its DNA. That is where life starts and stops. So life is programmed by the laws of DNA, like physical laws run the universe. I wonder who put together these laws that run the show. Something started it all.
Humans are different from other life forms. We are not totally programmed by instinct, we learn most of our behavior. Other life forms do what they are programmed to do, eg bacterium. Humans have a freedom of choice which other life forms do not.
How come? Something altered humans. Call it what you want. God, Yahweh whatever.
What the heck is Yahweh? Darn good question, one that humans have been asking for a long long time.
God’s answer to Moses, a direct communication, and Jesus identifying Himself made a pretty good description,
I Am! Yahweh! Everywhere you sense, I Am is there. He is part of every bit of matter in the universe, maybe He is the brain of DNA.
Speaking of which, think about DNA. A single cell, the fertilized egg, has the DNA blueprint in it to produce a human being. Think about how DNA sets the location in space of 3 trillion cells as an adult, and their functions. It coordinates the activities that maintain homeostasis. The ability to do this is in the DNA of the original cell.
Some folks say that this is just the natural order. I believe it is the product of something much much bigger than us. Call it what you will.
BTW, Yahweh is the only deity that has revealed Himself to mankind. All the rest are man made.
I look at the miracles that life shows us and laugh at people who think they are bigger than the Creator or deny His existence.
Like a liver or a heart cell, the bacterium fulfills it function and dies, it’s energy is moved elsewhere? All according to The Plan.
Well, just as I suspected, JAZ, Zonk, BRH, and others. Despite the all but infinite number of living beings with souls that animate matter, human souls are special. They continue to exist forever. All others, including the pet cats and dogs you love so dearly, just expire permanently.
If nothing else, perhaps I’ve provided food for thought.
God forbid that anyone should question the idea that human souls are special.
Whew, talk about brainwashing!
That’s not what I said at all, Q. Please kindly remove me from that list.
My fervent hope is that when I die, I go to where the good dogs go….
Please kindly remove me from that list. – Zonk
===========
OK, consider yourself removed.
Druze have, eventually, the soul (re)united with the mind/creator/light
Some hermetics have the soul or human essence as same as stars (made of stars) and to this will return
I’m sorry, JAZ, but Yahweh hasn’t revealed himself to me. I’ve never killed anyone or done something other people, or even the Lord finds heinous, so I think I’m not a bad enough person for Yahweh to not reveal himself to me. And believe me, I’ve looked extremely hard to experience him.
In the Kabbalist texts, not the Zohar, but I believe another, there are prohibitions and guides on reciting certain passages as one can “conjure” elohim or YHWH. Revealed as flames, or the reader dies. I can’t remember exactly but certain passages demand 2, or demand 1 reader. I am not recommending you try it, but if you’re really interested 😉
BTB
Look around you. Everything you see was created by something. Even the Big Bang theory, which in process of being discredited now, starts with a singularity, a point of infinite mass and zero dimension. Something created the singularity, just call it Yahweh.
Why, because He told Moses that was his name.
Yahweh, I am!
A great description, I am.
One of the great philosophers stated,
I think, therefore I am.
You know that voice in you that is called a conscience, tells you right from wrong?
Maybe Yahweh is in there someplace.
To me, the biggest egocentric joke is when people claim God as one of their own. The omnipresence of God is are inspiring, I get awestruck looking at the night sky and realize that the tremendous distances and amount of matter present is the result on a creator, why do egoists insist He is like us?
It is impossible for our little people brains to grasp the majesty and the intricacy and the detail of the Lord’s creation. Your question is a fool’s errand in this realm, imho.
“Still noone has responded to my Aug. 28, 2023 question …-Q
Maybe that’s because religious people and believers don’t like being mocked with rhetorical & farcical questions, Q. The anti Semitic posts one reads here are offputting enough without you going after Christians. Ok so you’re an atheist; why can’t you leave it at that?
Because he has 0 to post about his dying relatives?
Meher baba talks about group souls..I doubt if that helps you and I cant explain his version of consciousness evolving thru forms.
Well thanks for clearing up everything for me, malth.
” Does each bacterium in your gut have a soul? i.e. an animating principle that exists during its brief life of about 12 minutes? And when that bacterium dies does its soul cease to exist or does that soul continue to live for all eternity as the human soul supposedly does? If not, why not?”
These queries come about when people try mixing religion and logic. This is an exercise that can be as difficult as mixing oily substances with water in chemical experimentation.
Let’s try another imagination experiment involving such arcane concepts as “souls” or “spirits”. People with a materialist orientation usually assert that consciousness cannot exist without a biological mechanism supporting it. That disembodied self-aware entities are impossible because “science” says so. Then various scientists muddy the waters by talking about things that might be invisible only because we can’t see the wavelengths of electromagnetic energy they are manifesting in. So tell us Mr. Shtik what you think of people who claim to have had out of body experiences? What if human consciousness itself is some wierd manifestation of biological life that also has the capability of existence independent of a physical body? That the conscious self isn’t necessarily pinned down to a tiny locality inside our fragile skulls, that it can move about on its own and exist on its own. We spend our lives growing up as children being taught that when our bodies are gone that’s the absolute worst thing that can happen to us. That we vanish into a black hole never to be seen again forever and ever amen.
But what if that just isn’t true?
Trouble is,
Sorry to leave that post hanging like that, especially when it’s directed at Q. Trouble is – that this forum has no way to edit a post like you can easily on facebook or most any of the other places. But I’m not complaining, this “etched in stone” feature provides for a different forum experience that’s interesting in some ways.
I don‘t know about souls. Has anyone ever seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched one? I refuse to rule anything out (after vaxxing), but I find it difficult to accept the existence of a soul until it can be measured in a way anyone else can duplicate. I guess that makes me a materialistic, cynical bastard, huh.
Apart from any religious beliefs I may have I personally feel that all living things have souls. One is not better than the other. They are all different. Just like living things are all different in their various forms. So I wouldn’t say that humans souls are better or more important souls. They are simply qualitatively different. In any vision of heaven I might have I always envision animals too.
Yes, all have Buddha nature at the deepest level, but vary tremendously in their nearness in the realization thereof. You get the body, nervous system and brain that you have earned. The human body/mind is the highest on Earth, with some races having more refined or spiritualized ones than others.
@ Q. Shtik:
Of course the real, truthful answer to your question is, “I don’t know.” However, I’m more than happy to give you my opinion on this matter.
Scripturally speaking, we know certain things about the creation of the world; i.e, that that the creation is/was the act of God giving away himself–his very substance–to the creation. Thus, we know that the creation is made out of God. There’s at least one theologian (I think it was Duns Scotus) whose definition of God was that God is “being itself.” If it IS, it is God. (Thus, evil is essentially nihilism–the desire not to exist or to destroy.)
From a scriptural standpoint, Jesus (second person of the Trinity) is called “the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Thus it is implied that God “gave himself away” to the creation or sacrificed himself to it, in order to bring it into being. From this we can infer than everything that exists is “the Body of Christ.” That would include trees, rocks, bacteria, and so forth. I used tell my daughter that the Real Presence is also in the collards and grits, but she could not agree.
Now, this does not mean–or I don’t think it means–that bacteria and rocks have a soul, though it seems to me that it means that they are immortal, as they are part of the Body of Christ, whom we know to be immortal and whom we also know to exist in a physical body.
My theology gets a little shakey here, but my impression is that the soul is the capacity to experience the beatific vision–that is, to see God. It is said (mainly by Ann Barnhardt) that humans have that capacity and animals do not–so, presumably, neither do trees, rocks, and bacteria–if that’s the way you define “having a soul.”
Fr. Ripperger has stressed that the kingdom of heaven is hierarchical, with ones place in the hierarchy determined by ones love for God and ones relative capacity to “know God” (experience the beatific vision). The greater this capacity, the greater ones joy in heaven. So I suppose we could say that, whatever you capacity may be, it will be entirely filled. If indeed a bacteria has none of this capacity, it still exists because it is God himself and is thus immortal. Being God, it experiences joy to the full extent that it is able. If it can’t experience the beatific vision, that’s because it wasn’t created for that purpose.
I would say the shortness of a bacterium’s life is irrelevant. We humans don’t know what time is or what eternity is. Time is a human construct. Stuff “was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.”
The question is not whether bacteria have souls.
The question is whether John Bolton has a soul.
My answer is: No.
If he is missing a soul, he may have lost it in high school.
Bacterium with souls? Sure, why not? The question should be whether the bacteria, when they die, go to heaven or hell? Or purgatory, if they were Catholic.
But this begs the question as to whether bacteria are good or bad. Who decides? You? Or God…and which one, the God of the New Testament or Old? How would the Old Testament God define “Good”? If you use the 10 commandments as an arbiter, then they must all go to heaven. But…WWJD?
The Old Testament God made the Hebrews eat bug guano. The French, followers of Jesus and the New testament, culture, and eat cheese. Both rife with bacteria.
You gotta help me out here….
Are bacteria good or bad? Welp, as you know, some are beneficial and others are deleterious–to humans, at least.
We know that there is evil in the world. The traditional explanation for evil in the world is that, when the Fall of Man occurred, nature likewise fell. Thus we see that there are evils in the natural world: the illness and death to which all life is subject (sometimes caused by bacteria), foxes eating rabbits, snakes biting humans, poison ivy, chiggers, mosquitoes, and many other things.
As to the question of why nature fell with the Fall of Man, here’s what I think. According to quantum theory, things change depending on the observer. Thus, once humans fell from grace, everything they observed was also changed–by the fallen state of the observer.
Now, it would seem to me that the “fallen” creatures in nature cannot sin, as (according to doctrine) sin requires willful intention. It seems to me that, other than humans, the other natural creatures don’t have that capacity. They can’t willfully do evil or choose evil as an act of the will.
The way I figure it, the various natural creatures–along with supposedly inanimate nature, would necessarily be redeemed with the redemption of man. I suppose this would take place at the time of the Second Coming. Everything from your rock collection to your dog to the bacteria on your leftovers would ascend into heaven, where each would take its proper place. Humans get a glorified body, and so does everything else, including even the inanimate world.

This guy feels like a brother from another mother, just with actual science cred.
“Someone used AI to make a transcript of a talk I gave two years ago.
Back then, I had not yet realised there wasn’t a new respiratory virus circulating. [According to Robin there was a novel virus circulating, as novel simply means previously undetected]
It doesn’t change the fundamentals except of course to make the “vaccines” even more macabre and malevolent.
The transcript has the odd error, like “masti population”. But it doesn’t seriously obscure the force of my arguments.
Now starting in the USA, the whole thing is starting again. A “variant” “vaccine” is being made & the president is contemplating it being recommended for everyone, regardless of their vaccination status. Read mandatory.
My concerns about vaccine passports was valid. That’s going to be used as a Trojan horse, to bring in mandatory digital ID. Meanwhile, great strides have been made on central bank digital currencies, including at the Bank of England. Access to & ability to use cash is getting harder. The combination of mandatory digital ID & cashless CBDC spells totalitarian control. There will be no way around it if you want to access any government services. Even if you don’t, the only escape will be to be wholly off grid, which isn’t possible for any but a hardy few.
So the time to resist is BEFORE such a control system is in place. Resistance afterwards, when almost everyone will have consented by signing up to digital ID (or to have been assigned one & to have used it), will be ineffective.
Please find others who are suspicious of the overall tenor of modern media and direction of travel of modern society, build relationships with them and find others who are also suspicious.
Decline these injections.
Decline anything that smacks of digital ID, as I don’t know what form it’ll take, beyond a “vaccine passport”.
Don’t consent to meaningless diagnostic tests.
Use cash at every opportunity.
Cheerfully engage as many people as you can on the topic of how weird things have become. Since when was government so concerned with your & your family’s health?
Why are there so many fools in positions of authority?
It wasn’t always so.

Yes, mass noncompliance. Which should really apply to many different things in addition to the covid psyop. Just imagine if 20 million Americans stayed in the streets until the 2020 elections was finally actually adjudicated. Unfortunately the elites can securely and safely depend on the ignorance and laziness of everyone else to keep their rackets going.
“…actually adjudicated.”
Haha!
Exactly. You wouldn’t want that to actually happen now would you. Proof that it was totally stolen.
And I’m not even a Republican so take that too
So, you’re not the only one with such bizarre expectations…bet that’s a relief. Phew.

Greencrow concludes: I’m hoping to finally leave this topic for a while because I have many other posts on other urgent matters to publish. Of course, if there are new developments I will bring them to readers on an urgent basis. In my opinion, this crime is so heinous because it marks a new stage in the war on humanity. The Lahaina, Maui DEW attack was the first time a large, iconic community has been wiped off the map by the 1% Satanists for their own pleasure and profit. In the past, smaller communities, and of course the World Trade Centre in New York City, were also wiped off the map for the same reasons. But this time an intransigent [refused to sell to the developers] indigenous community was stripped of its heritage by ruthless [and so far anonymous] overlords. It’s a serious escalation. Will it be allowed to go unpunished–and thus provide motivation/”fuel” for the next attack? Stay tuned!

I am starting to develop a theory on why CFNers who have called their government every name in the book and have been scanning the horizon for years on the lookout for a black swan are so bizarrely silent about Lahaina and its thousands of incinerated Americans.
Lahaina was ongoing American Manifest Destiny, right?
You do know that American Manifest Destiny is often called “genocide” today, right Edgy?
“bizarrely”?
Like Q, you demand that people engage with you on your terms.
You have no idea what most CFNers think, but your comments are loaded with value judgments and demands.
Manic depressives can’t let go of ideas, and obsess on them for days or weeks, as OG is doing with Lahaina.

It was intended to be basically descriptive.
I make no demands, Isles.
And nobody commented on Lahaina or Manifest Destiny or mass murder or holocaust or genocide.
Nope. Just imagined, ridiculous* ad homs against completely irrelevant me as far as the eye can see. That is, after all, so much easier than discussing what I say.
*Edgy, do you really think that a man regularly quoting bible scripture and things like, “Don’t worry, God wins” listens to death metal at 130db? “Does not compute.”
Wow, it’s incredible how spot on Edge was.
Something creepy is going on with Maui.
Yesterday it was reported that Maui government was going to sue electric company for falling lines causing the fire.
Today, the electric company reported that they had turned off all their grid four hours before the fires because of high winds. That would be easy to prove.
If so, WTF is going on? I still believe it is our AGW brethren raising hell, literally.

Of course after a disaster like this fingers are going to start pointing. Of course the inept bureaucrats are going to blame the power monopolies, particularly when they have been demonstrated to be most at fault. Of course the power utility is going to say they are not at fault.
Why is this so difficult to comprehend?
Have you seen the “locals only” leaders give their press conferences? It’s painful, but it makes it very clear how so many people died from their stupidity.
Are you saying that HAARP and DEWs do not even exist?
Yes, John, something very creepy has indeed happened in Lahaina and there is no amount of the ad homming of me that will change that.
I posted a 6:36 video upthread. It shows two cars completely incinerated with a molten-aluminum river hardened on the ground … in an open green space surrounded by unharmed houses, yards, fences, sidewalks, etc.
How did those two cars get to 1300F+ with no fuel? I look forward to stelmo‘s analysis.
I look forward to your opinion, John. As mentioned upthread, in the video, there is hearsay that a local investigator claimed that the epicentre – the kill-zone, Front Street – reached temps of 3,000F+!
Did you know that Maui is DEW research/deployment HQ for the Deep State military?
Did you know that the Maui Police Chief, John Pelletier, graduated from some FBI training course and that he was also PR guy for Vegas Police after their turkey shoot there (October 1, 2017)?
Do you know the odd of that?
Did you know that many locals are claiming over 2,000 children (the rightful heirs to the land) remain missing while the officials do not dispute that, deny locals access to their own house/property, put up a black-out perimeter fence and ban drones?
The list goes on and on but Edgy wouldn’t believe the in-your-face obvious truth if “Joe Biden” goose-stepped into his kitchen and told him face to … latex mask.

You are correct, Mare. I deployed my obsessive mind to a great many accomplishments in my life.
Nay more: He was incident commander on the scene and then the media go to guy. He must have impressed the higher ups to get this big gig. Whither next?
Why did they put up the black curtain? Can’t drones see what is going on anyway? Extraordinarily strange. They are not trying to make it appear as if nothing is going on, that is for sure.
That’s what got me, the black curtain. WTF?
But each family gets $700? They spend how much to put up a black curtain, but the survivors get a pittance?
I do think there is something very, very wrong about Lahaina,
You don’t have to think the fire was started by DEW to know it was wrong to block the road of escape. It was wrong to send children home to die alone. They evacuated the tourists, but not the children???
That black curtain is an in-your-face statement that you’d better not ask any questions.
Uh so people’s deceased loved ones aren’t put on FaceCrook?
Good thinking, Edgy. You must be salivating at the thought of receiving your next jab.
Drones are banned.
Zonk, I’m no expert. What I see are a couple of typical burned cars in the middle of what was a vacant lot. He points out the alloy wheel melted yet the other three alloy rims look fine. When he opens the hood the AC condenser on that car (also aluminum) and very thin seems OK. The speed at which the vegetation is growing back (the ground was not sterilized as the tree trimmer claimed) looks like those cars were probably junks sitting in the middle of a lot at the end of a cul-de-sac with tall dry grass. Limited exposures really. A concrete block wall, a wide street, the end of a cu-de-sac. A spark got in there and whoosh, grass burned in a flash, cars went up, , that’s all she wrote. 3000 degrees? sure why not.A friend of a friend of a friend says down in town, bla, bla, bla.
Just for your investigations Zonk. especially block 1.3 and 3.3
httx://www.tcforensic.com.au/docs/article10.html#1.3
Thanks for this link – it is very helpful. Given that I have been conversing with mainly Americans, I have been using Fahrenheit rather than Celsius but this is still very useful. Cheers!
A spark landed in tall grass and caused a quick burn with temperatures in excess of 1,300F? Doubts.
The cars burned. Tires= oil, gasoline,most modern cars have hundreds of lbs. of plastic. All that shit burns way hotter than 1300 degrees.
Not even close elmo.
Rubber burns at about 600 F.
Oil: 400F.
Gasoline: about 500F.
Plastics: all below 900F.
Try again.
Oh shit. This is 9/11 all over again. Experts disagreeing on the temperatures that things burn at. Some say energy weapons were used there too.
First things first: They exist.
Second thing: The police created a kill box. This does not depend on the First thing. But if they would do that, would they not use Energy weapons against us if it was to their advantage?
Third: Firefighters not in on it found no water pressure. The person in charged turned the water off for religious purposes – supposedly.
Forth: Sirens were not sounded because it would confuse people – supposedly.
Remember the OG principle anent 9/11: I don’t have to understand everything that happened to know that they’re lying. How do I know? Because their story doesn’t make sense. It either doesn’t fit the facts and/or it is contradictory.
Blacky those are the auto-ignition temperatures your quoting. When those things would burst into flame. Flash point is lower still. Once burning they burn way hotter than that. Just for instance the flame on your natural gas stove runs about 3600 degrees F. the “Joe Biden” thinks that’s too hot. Get with the program or keep yer yap shut.

I could be wrong, but I believe that there is not enough combustible fuel in a vehicle for a car fire to burn long enough and hot enough to melt aluminum into a flowing river.
A spark ignited dry grass that then ignited sealed cars to complete incineration? I don’t buy it. The grass would have burned and been completely consumed very quickly – and perhaps scorch the cars’ paint.
Those cars were microwaved and that is why Lahaina today has a black-out perimeter fence, a drone ban and a media ban. Clearly.
Jarek, lots of things gone wrong obviously. DEW’s exist. Just a focused beam of microwave radiation. A powerful radar sends out a very strong beam. Your early microwave ovens were called the “Radarange” for that reason. Your cell phone is drilling microwaves through your head everytime you talk with it.The waves only travel in straight lines unless reflected so where did they come from ?
The police didn’t know what to do or where to send people. I don’t think people realize how fast this fire moved. I saw an aerial pic and the the ground pattern was the classic “V” fire pattern except not vertical but horizontal pushed by the 80-90 mph wind. Swept in from the east and blown right into the sea .
Do they have a gravity water system in town or do they rely on pumps? No power no water or perhaps too many people pulling water from the system at the same time. A fire engine on a crappy main line will easily draw the pressure to zero. Same thing with the sirens. Battery powered?Tsunami sirens? people would have possibly headed into the flames.?Was the power down? Fingers pointing to he power lines dropping and starting the fires.
The police didn’t know what to do or where to send people.
So they were ordered to barricade the land-owners from escaping the fire in a kill-zone?
That dog don’t hunt.
“Get with the program or keep yer yap shut.”
Thanks for the info elmo.
Obviously the Maui fires were completely natural – just like the Paradise fires in CA 2 years earlier.
There is no conspiracy among some nebulous New World Order (Haha!!). It’s just us evil westerners and our need for convenience.
“I love Big Brother!”
Sing it with me elmo!
As I said before, my mother recognized that she was living in a fire death trap and moved out of Paradise long before the fires. There was only one way out of there, just like on Maui.
I visited her once there, and the place was full of tinder. It was a beautiful place, but dangerous.
Wanna know what I think OG?
I think it was a directed energy weapon.
Not a laser, as seen in those many probably-Photoshopped images. Lasers are too narrowly focused. You do surgery with lasers.
I think microwave radiation was used. Like those crowd control devices that heat the change in your pocket, your belt buckle, your zipper, your sexy piercings…
Microwave a car and the steel will absorb all the heat necessary to melt aluminum and glass, and ignite all flammables. The grass was collateral damage, not the cause of the fire.
Same with the houses. That’s why the trees are frequently unburnt.
Not that our government – or its puppet masters – would ever do anything so terrible to its people…
The grass was collateral damage, not the cause of the fire.
Exactly, BB. Thank you.
Do you have any idea how much energy would be needed? My 1500 watt microwave takes 2-3 minutes just to bring a cup of water to boiling at 212 degrees. How much energy to heat up an f-150 to 4-500 degrees to get ignition? Now multiply that by hundreds of cars, houses, etc. Microwaves are especially effective on water molecules. Fats even more absorbent. Your food gets hot the plate stays cool. Every human in that area would have been cooked by the microwaves way before the fire got to them.
And thus the black-out perimeter fence, drone ban and media ban.
As I said above elmo, it’s completely natural. No way humans could replicate this kinda shit.
Grass fires burned a city and left the surrounding (highly flammable) natural area intact – happens all the time!
Next up: 9/11 – it was all angry Arabs in caves in Afghanistan!
How many bodies have been recovered from Lahaina?
Yup, totally natural grass fire. Go home dickcheeses, nothing to see here.

Fred is up!
https://fredoneverything.org/fred-and-loathing-on-the-campaign-trail-and-a-vote-for-trump/
As usual, Fred and I are in accord….
Who is Fred?
An ancient author and translator.
Wrote books about Iran nobody read.
Except the French?
An expatriate living in Mexico.
As all expats eventually do, he has taken a severely critical view of the US.
Or he always had one.
Oh ok wow. WelI I don’t have to be an expat to do that!
You don’t know of Fred? You’ve been living a sheltered life, SSL.
Fred Reed is a former Marine, and did newspaper work on the crime beat in, as I recall, DC.
Fifteen days ago Fred was running (for dictator).
Two weeks later he his throwing his vote to Trump.
I knew Fred was too-good-to-be-true. Another Bernie Sanders, herding the lost sheep back to the pen.
Bird,
Fred should be read with the seriousness that you might read my posts.
Which is about as serious as a long, sonorous bout of flatulence in a crowded elevator
What? You think my example lacks seriousness?
I guess you had to be there….
Ely,
You might be related to Pucker. I still recall his Indian or Pakistani food fart in a book store story. The Supermarket is usually my kill zone, although I haven’t done that for quite some time. Fewer carbs, I guess.

The corona virus PLANDEMIC is a foreshadowing of future events, where freedoms will be stripped away.
Events that will bring down America, with a civil war. Nations will succumb to a new world order, where communism will dominate. Economic collapse will usher in the mark of the beast and a one world currency.
Wickedness increases beneath the colors of the rainbow that camouflage the evil intended for the youth, an evil that preys upon their purity.

Tyler Matheson. He’s a finance talking head on the CNBC business show.

Conservatives be like, Trump is OG now. Blacks gonna love this picture and vote for him.
They may love the picture but they’re going to vote Democrat as always. Why would they forsake the Party that is giving them revenge against Whites?
Vivek avoided the trap the other day: He answered the question by not answering; by saying that the election was irregular and there were many questions yet to be answered.
In contrast, DeSantis beclowned himself by saying that Biden was the real president. Only a fake Republican would say such a thing. A fake man of tin.
A product of the deep state.
A Guantanamo torture JAG off
I might vote Trump this round purely in the hope of making DC as disfunctional as possible.
Greenwald just tore Li’l Nicky Haley a new one today.
Documented the millions she pocketed after leaving public service (in debt) to go work for the MIC. How does $12M in that time work?
Greenwald explained how Trump did more to destroy the establishment GOP and establishment politics than any president in the modern era.
Even more so than Clinton who firmly wedded the Democratic Party to the deep state and corporate America (big finance).
Many of us elected Trump to destroy the entire rotten system, or at least expose it.
This is my who I’m voting for in 2024:

Yo, ho!
I know isn’t that funny. I think the best that can be hoped for is that many blacks will sit out voting for Biden. That is much more likely. He isn’t doing anything for them so why should they show up. He can get the illegals to vote for him since he loves them more.

From Anthea, upthread:
“I just watched video where someone said that he recently attended a meeting of some sort by a group of elites, in which their number one concern was, “How do I keep my guards from killing me, once I’m bunkered up?” The suggested solution was robo-dogs mounted with machine guns (instead of human guards).”
“[…] their number one concern was, “How do I keep my guards from killing me, once I’m bunkered up?”
So, basically, nothing has changed since … forever.
As for the solution, I guess, if you get yourself a robo-dog with a machine gun, just don’t call him HAL That would be tempting fate.
What a lovely way to live.
Hahahahahahaha!
Somebody is going to have to maintain those robo-dogs and their machine guns, and figure out how to use them strategically.
Yet more proof that billionaires are crazy folk.
““How do I keep my guards from killing me, once I’m bunkered up?”
Gus,
The REAL answer is that they cannot, no matter how well you treat them, and they all better live like KANGS….
“How do I keep my guards from killing me, once I’m bunkered up?”
Hire me.
Your guards will never touch you…
Latest fiasco
Dems saying that Trump wants to be President for Life.
What is it going to take to shut these lying SOBs up?
One comment though, it may take a period of autocracy to undo the damage that Obama and Biden have done to this country. The biggest problem right now is that almost the entire GOP is left of center right now and Trump and co. Are the only vestige of Constitutional USA.
Third party?
The GOP is not left of center. They are slightly right of extreme left.
Again, they are ostensibly an opposition party but are in reality controlled opposition.
At least until the good citizens of corresponding states remove the following leaders/members of the establishment and/or gerontocracy:
-McConnell
-Graham
-Romney
-Murkowski
-Toomey
and on and on
But the MiC is filling the voids.
Cotton
Eye Patch McCain
Haley
We do not need autocracy.
We just need people at the “big boy” level to actually be prosecuted and sent to jail if they commit crimes.
Everyone even near the top gets off now, for anything, especially if they’re on the current winning team. And the winning team is pretty much anyone who gets far enough to have dirt on the others that have dirt on them. Dirt here, dirt there, everyone can take down the people that take can take them down too.
That doesn’t bode well.
Now, if by autocratic rule, you mean that a president should come in and summarily fire the entire Congress and Senate and start over with real ink-finger votes counted by church ladies…that’s the right idea…but would require autocracy to unwind the whole ball of corrupt twine.
Huh…maybe you’re right. Apparently I rest your case. Have a good night.
There is nothing more annoying than people who refuse to admit that their predictions were wrong.
Dems spent 4 years screaming that Trump would never leave the White House.
They have been proven wrong. Do they admit it?
No. They just start up new predictions, same as the old predictions.
No awareness. No ability to learn. No shame.
Like “Trump will be your president.”
Hahahahahaa!
“Dems saying that Trump wants to be President for Life.”
John,
Those bastards! At 78 years old, he might be able to serve another complete term…or maybe not, but President For Life” has a nice ring to it….
He should’ve never left office

Taibbi the fence-sitter gets to a key issue far too late, once again.
Where was he when Merriam-Webster and co. were changing the meanings of words in real-time during manufactured Trump scandals and three years of “Covid-19”?
Probably the same place you and most other leftists were.
It is truly a marvel how deep the conditioning goes.
Uhhuh, yeah so that’s just like your opinion maaaan
Yeah, that is the limit of your ability here.
Admit it, you wore a mask.
What do you imagine are your abilities?
Self-aggrandizement in your belief that you bested other anonymous posters on an obscure blog?
Sad little man
Still nothing?
Bless your cotton socks, masklet.
lol bless your cotton socks, y’all are too funny
It is always annoying when one sees things earlier than others.
But many have noted that to move the political or perceptual battleship, it takes more than one rudder.
People have different audiences.
I try to appreciate what Taibbi does do and not trash everything he says becuase he is not where I would like him to be on every issue. Yeah, I think I am well ahead of him on a lot of things.
He has relatively recently chosen to focus on language, but as an editor I see stuff in his writing that makes me cringe! IOW, I don’t think he actually does understand the language all that well.
But what the hell, better late, and a little bit, thyan never, and nothing. j
And, yeah, some of his analyses are naive—such as his defense of the CJ Hopkins situ, which seemed to miss the salient point that it is specifically **because** (not in spite of) Hopkins’s pointing out the parallels between this and earlier moments that TPTB have criminalized him.
Still, Taibbi has a biggish audience; I thought he did pretty well in responding to that female jackal what’s-her-name in the House hearings.
He stands up for free speech. If we all have the right of free speech, we all have the right to make our case. Any one person may, or may not, agree, but it is essential that everyone has the right to speak freely.
Taibbi has changed his mind on some things. Props for that.
Absolutely, PD! All too often on CFN there is this weird pack mentality where a poster’s thoughts and contentions and theories are simply ignored while the speaker is then personally attacked.
Many posters here would say they are for free speech – but just as long as one adheres to their pack mentality and dogma and while worshipping these sad little misfits like they’re smart or something. Sad but true.
It is complete hypocrisy, imho.
He also did a magnificent showing in a debate on that against Malcolm Gladwell, which was a thing of beauty.
Gladwell, of course, making arguments against free speech – hilarious. He lost the debate hands down.
Taibbi does it for his ego, IMO–emerging when it is safe to do so.
He did nothing during three years of Covid. And even now, he still believes in the fraud of the shot (never mind the issue of whether Covid even exists).
In fact, I would say that his contributions amount to almost nothing. He stuck his neck out a bit more once he had Elon Musk’s backing to do a limited hangout on the Twitter files with that hack Bari Weiss.
He is quite cowardly, IMO. He could make a real difference, but prefers to emerge only at the moment where the tide is turning, so he can take the laurels.
It is easy to see when one has discernment. He is not truly on the side of the freedom movement. But then again, lots of people aren’t.
“He is quite cowardly,” said the little weasel.
It’s still not accepted to go against the Covid19 hoax in mainstream America, so yeah, he’s brave.
But Trump still hasn’t recanted his Operation Warp Speed or pushing the poison swill, and you still support him.
Curious!
I have explaind my views on Trump several times. You know them, but you pretend not to now, because you are a woman scorned.
Explain them again, N.O., for everyone else here.
Who have I been scorned by?
Head back to the initial firestorm over resource depletion and carrying capacity.
You lost it and the mask dropped.
I am now prodding to see how much further it will go.
You have no morals.
Doesn’t sound much like I’m the scorned party here, N.O.
Are you biting your pillow?
Very good article by James Delingpole:
“How red-pilled arbiters of truth discredit our cause”
expose-news.com/2023/08/30/how-red-pilled-arbiters-of-truth-discredit-our-cause/
Great piece. Dellingpole has really become a key voice in the freedom movement.
On that note, James Corbett really needs more views. Though not a medical professional like, say, Mike Yeadon, he has an incredibly good understanding and perspective of and on the Great Reset, Transhumanism, and the aims of the predator class.
I’ve got the Corbett Report coming into my inbox weekly now, and Corbett is a very sharp guy.
Corbett’s 4-parter on ‘Who is Bill Gates?’ is a must-view. Pre-covid, if I recall.
Corbitt’s been on it for years. I started listening to him 11 years ago, after discovering his breakdown of the 9/11 hoax in something like 15 minutes. It’s brilliant and a must-see.
Thanks, Mary, I will look for that.
Thanks, GA. That takes me on a complete tangent. James Corbett, Jordan Peterson, Marshall McLuhan, Pierre Burton, Margaret Atwood, Robertson Davies, Sir Frederick G Banting, etc.
Many Americans often belittle and even dismiss their northern neighbour while Canada has indeed produced several world leaders in man’s literal and intellectual pursuits.
Even better than I remembered – FIVE minutes, not 15.
https://youtu.be/OCzy9i4tIHU?si=zfLDvFq3NImS9I-6
Sorry for misspelling Corbett, before Q descends on my comment.
Great, thanks, Mary. I did look briefly but wasn’t sure which video it was. I’ll check this one out.
Wow, that’s beyond brilliant, Mary!
Corbett’s an anarchist of course.
“If you accept – as all the red-pilled must because it is the foundation of Awake awareness – that the world as it has been sold to us is a tissue of lies, half-truths and deceptions, then it naturally follows that everything we think we know about the world is potentially fallacious.”
*Thunderous applause*
“The only way to see the world clearly is to throw out every view but those of a tiny handful of contemporary Youtubers and bloggers.”
Smart. Nothing cultish at all. Definitely charlatan-proof. This is probably an intellectual revolution/renaissance blooming in our time.
Seethe, little man.
Perhaps you will get the depopulation you desire.
We will see.
Just trying to laugh at you a little for your own good.
A real pissing-in-the-wind effort.
It was your classic straw man, as you cannot intellectually defeat anything else.
Depopulation will happen. The question that should be on the table is how, not whether.
But it requires thinking beyond one’s decade, and taking much information into account.
“Seethe, little man,” said the little weasel.
***
Do not worry about the tiny thoughts of a little weasel, Gus. NO has zero cred here on CFN because he is merely a dismissive little troll posting stale news and repetitive talking points in search of his own self-glory whereas you are a man in search of information and knowledge. The latter is to be respected while the former is to be ignored and shunned.
Zonk has been banned three times.
But then I got better. Since my medical recovery, I stay away from what had me justifiably banned during my troubles. Obviously JHK has me on a very short leash and I am not banned presently, you little weasel.
I now understand, for the first time in my life, the convict trying to build his life after serving his time for his crime.
You owe beantownbill. proof or a recant. As long as you do neither, you have zero cred here, you little weasel.
Zonk has been banned three times
“You owe beantownbill. proof or a recant. As long as you do neither, you have zero cred here, you little weasel.”
Wow, these demands of “proof” sound like Jarek’s style!
Once again Zonk does exactly what he earlier protested when he first materialized: one commenter setting itself (sic) up as an evaluator and assessor of others.
Zonk, in my eyes you are very rapidly losing “cred.” Your new preferred style is seven-year-old playground tantrum.
It is Rule of Law, Isles. If a man brings forth horrible allegations against another man in the public forum, he must either back them up or recant them lest we have anarchy.
Zonk is free to search two years of posts in the archive. Why he is so interested in my comments to some asshole is beyond me.
Just kidding. It is mental illness.
This sentence made me LOL:
“Obviously JHK has me on a very short leash and I am not banned presently, you little weasel.”
Zonk is free to search two years of posts in the archive.
It is not my responsibility to prove your irresponsibility, you little weasel. It is your responsibility to a) prove your allegations, b) have them corroborated by others (which never transpired) or c) recant them. That is how it works when you level accusations and allegations against a man in the public forum, you little weasel.
No one needs to proove anything to you.
It drives you mad, and makes me laugh.
Good to see you catching up – or almost catching up.
This includes worshipping players like Trump, you know. You’re applauding for someone who calls you out.
I guess that is improvement, anyway.
Who is “catching up”?
If you lie with dogs, you will awaken with fleas.
What if you lie with wildebeests?
Who is “catching up” and with whom?
Look to see whose comment the response is under, Islander.
SSL, “What if you lie with wildebeests?”
Somehow I Gnu you would ask that.
I read the Delingpole piece.
I certainly the gist of his agument and agree with most of what he says, but not all. In a sense he himself if setting the limits of what can be discussed, only his limits are there are no limits. At any time. Ever. He is of course welcome to his opinion, and his judgments. However, they are not universal
He writes:
” Many of them, I’m quite sure, do so in the belief that they are imposing a measure of discipline, common sense and pragmatism on the resistance movement. But however good their intentions may be, what they are actually achieving when they parrot that phrase is doing the enemy’s work for him. ”
This a a good theory, but IMO not necessarily always the best practice.
For more than one reason.
Maybe these people are capable of deciding for themselves whether and when they are “doing the enemy’s work.”
There are contexts in which one must, or one want to, focus.
That’s it.
Anyhow, I doubt that anyone will read this comment.
Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and now a 4th coup in the African country of GABON.
Who took more Black slaves – the Whites or the Muslim Arabs? Not a trick question. The answer is well known and not up for debate.
WTFlyingF?
You know the answer. You just don’t like the answer so you endeavor to preserve the status quo, the anti-White narrative.
We’re were talking about this before. It’s not out of the blue. So don’t play that.
Are you feeling a little excited about these particular coups? Supposedly they are displacing the old order which was focused on achieving the aims of the WEF essentially.
I doubt this Gabon coup is related to WEF.
I’m thinking if there is a 4th turning in the USA, does it affect Africa? Europe? The World?
The answer is YEs
Still, who or what parties are instigating root causes of these coups, I do not know.
We’ll find out slowly.
Also, I think the internet is showing normal people everywhere what the rest of the world looks like and lives like.
So there is a rising call and will for change, for betterment.
Finally, I suspect there are few African countries that are not under some kind of western – full or partial – control and influence. Be it a military-security type, a cultural/NGO/media type and/or a financial-banking type.
For some “observers” the countries where the looting is egregious and long-lived have always been in the west African “French-system” countries.
C’est la coup.
See Consortium News link down-thread.
Sure.
Btw, I almost made it to the 2017 African Soccer CUP in Gabon. Kinder, gentler times then.
Last night I saw the film A Compassionate Spy.
I consider this a must-see, if at all possible. It is a documentary about Ted Hall, a brilliant young physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project and who gave atomic secrets to the Soviets.
Hall managed to evade the FBI et al. and eventually ended up teaching at Cambridge.
I had never heard of this at all.
The film, by Steve James, is extremely well done. He reconstructs the Halls’ own situation wtih actors and interweaves a lot of archival material.
Tells a great deal about that era, from mid-war to the late fifties, and the IMO evil that overtook the US war effort in mid-war. James digs into the bankers and financiers behind the scenes in the Manhattan Project who drove the atomic effort and planned, postwar, to use The Bomb to destroy the USSR and take over its land and resources. (The ideological spawn of these American monsters are still working to the same playbook, IMHO.)
Ted Hall’s wife, Joan Hall, is the main speaker, but Ted is also present, interviewed in the last year of his life.

Are you a Marxist? You said that Trotsky wasn’t a monster – despite being directly responsible for the murder of the Czar and his family.
Vlad, Janos, Jarek meet broken record.
Are you a Marxist? Is that why you’re running interference here?
I mean stupid me bringing up Oppenheimer when Islander lauds a wonderful movie about a wonderful man who gave atomic secrets to the Soviet Union.
Two Commies. Does Islander make a third and you a fourth?
That does not make him a Marxist and you know that.
But since everyone here is wasting their, and other’s, time I’ll continue.
The motivation was to prevent more war, seizure, and annihilation by the so-called “greatest generation”. The people who brought us never-ending war, the atomic bomb, the CIA, NATO, the UN, the American military empire, the end of the gold standard, etc., etc.
But yeah, that makes one a Marxist.
For a man who un-ironically claimed he is like Confucius on account of his voracity for truth and knowledge, you’re eternally sentenced to a mentality of black and white.

Gee…it’s quite comical just how many posters you’re accusing of being me in recent days. Clearly, your ‘sleuthing’ skills are failing you.
It’s been noted that you’ve clearly and finally been sacked from your high-paying sinecure ‘job’ for the ‘Globocap’. It appears you have yet to find a new position, given how much time you spend around here these days, displaying your usual, petty, nasty, insulting arrogance. It’s really repetitive and boring.
Edge doesn’t strike me as the same person as Redneck Lib at all.
For starters, not even on the same page politically.

Have you heard of Leonel Torres Herrera?
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Texas ruling (Guilty of murder), arguing that Herrera’s claim of “actual innocence” was in itself not a constitutional claim for which judicial relief could be granted. Thus, though the court agreed he was innocent, Leonel was executed on May 12, 1993.
A legal scholar might suggest that his argument had no agency before the court.
Understand that the legal system and our concept of “justice” are parallel lines that do not intersect.
It all depends whether he had standing or not. And who determines that – people with White Male gaze?
College Fix
An indigenous lecturer at the University of Hawaii at M?noa recently put out a paper which concludes the so-called “White Gaze” of white environmentalists who work to save various species of sea life is responsible for the homelessness and hunger of Pacific Islander peoples.
In “The Science of White Gaze in Our Sea of Islands: European Overreach the Unceasing Incursion of Uncharismatic Megafauna,” philosophy PhD student Bruce Ka’imi Watson (pictured) refers to the “Pacific” (quotes in the original) Ocean as “Our Sea,” which had to endure the “incursion of dysplaced [sic] Europeans.”
Anglin: How do people still spell words incorrectly? Isn’t there a squiggly red line underneath them?
Or is spelling the prefix “dis” with a “y” some kind of tranny thing?
These white folks, Watson says, use(d) their White Gaze to either save “megafauna and forms-of-life” or destroy them, depending on the perceived “presence or absence of discrete characteristics.”
“Nature-loving” organizations like Greenpeace work to save species such as whales and dolphins because White Gaze has ascertained that they have “charisma.”
Europeans place greater value on a dolphin’s “charisma” than, say, a “hungry Japanese child” because it makes their Whiteness “feel comfortable and settled,” Watson argues.
This is actually like satire.
I guess he would also defend the nips dumping toxic waste in the ocean and poisoning the whales, and say anyone who is complaining – such as the Chinese and Koreans – is a white supremacist terrorist.
He shows an obsession in the paper with Hayden Panettiere, that girl that was hot in a show like 20 years ago who is now a whale rights activist (she’s stayed thin, by the way – pretty impressive, quite frankly, even though it should not be).
He’s basically like “bitch, get up out my bidness. I be trying to eat a dolphin over here. Stay up off it.”
He feeds dolphins to his starving family because that is the only food he has access to.
This is from the paper:
It is the repeated violence of dysplaced values, traditions, and habits of dysplaced Europeans which truly cause destruction and then later resurrection. The dysplaced European enacts and reenacts the life of their Christ through this commercial cycle.
…
Climate change and annihilation of the species from the planet can be traced directly to the overreach of dysplaced Europeans, instead of asking us to recycle, how about focus on the core of the problem, White Gaze, the Academy, and White Supremacy. White Gaze allows, and market rationality encourages, White Gaze to treat Our Islands as a vacation colony. The creation of paradise is facilitated and encouraged by the rationality of resource distribution a redistribution from Ours sold to be theirs and thereby ours.
Anglin: So… Christianity is to blame for you caring about cute animals.
Hot take.
I’m happy I lived to see it.
Jarek: Does Rob Zombie’s White gaze help any animal, especially those lacking in charisma?
Are Hawaiians the real environmentalists? Even though primitive peoples did wipe out the megafauna in North America and perhaps Europe and Asia as well?
People say David Attenborough strains to stay positive about Black Africans even as they merrily wipe out endangered species in Africa. More White gaze!
Dolphins do have an awful lot of charysma! I also doubt the veracity of a “hungry Japanese child”. It seems like Japan likely has a higher standard of living then many a country that is grappling with the issue of persistent White gaze. I suppose if one wished to get ultra sciencey there is an argument that perhaps very small populations of indigenous people hunting wild game in their natural habitat wouldn’t upset the natural apple cart. But growing populations of obese indigenes is clearly not good for the poor megafauna who happen to find themselves on said indigenes’ menu. I could also then share my colonial attitude with them by letting them know at the end of the day that it should be they who are poached into oblivion instead of the beautiful animals they are destroying. But that’s just lil ole me lol. Mine is not particularly qualified. I simply gaze.
Yes, balance is beautiful. But the Paelo-Indians were superb hunters and many believe they wiped out the Mammoths, etc.
Maybe the Mammoths were on their way out anyway. If so, the idea of balance is maintained and the Indians just hurried it along a bit.
They didn’t wipe out the Buffalo. We did or almost did. The vision of them hunting the Buffaloes on horseback with lances is a beautiful one. They are indeed dangerous animals. But they didn’t always do that. Sometimes they just drove them off cliffs.
Oh my that is kinda a horrible vision. Yeah I have heard that the mammoths were actually on their way out because of the climatic changes at the end of the ice age where the climate was warming. They were losing tundra habitat to forests as the forests began expanding again. And also certain other species they depended on were dying or getting displaced because of the weather changes. So it could have been simply a synchronicity.
Right. North American natives subsisted on the buffalo for centuries before they ever saw a horse [Then they took to riding like a duck to water once horses entered their lands. Tragically, the same with alcohol.]
The buffalo was their everything. Fresh, protein-rich food, clothing, bedding, jewelry, kids’ toys, dog food, drapery, jerky for the cold winters, etc. They wasted nothing of a buffalo and held it in the highest regard in their religious ceremonies.
Americans shooting bison from train windows was part and parcel of Manifest Destiny and its genocide and apartheid of these once proud people. Sad but true.
What native ancestry do you have, Doctor?
I am 3/4 German and 1/4 Irish and 100% hockey-playing Canadian.
Oh ok neat. I actually have Choctaw heritage. I think though I am at least 3/4 European heritage.
So called Plains Indians didn’t get horses until the early to mid 1600s. Most of the Dakota tribes — what we now call the Sioux — were from the Great Lakes region of Michigan & Wisconsin, pushed out of their native lands by French fur trappers in the 16th & 17th centuries.
One thing that is not widely known is that the American Bison once ranged all the way to what is now West Virginia, and Spanish explorers saw them roaming thru the Appalachian Mtns.. Remarkably, one expedition in the Middle Atlantic about that time (1540s) contained Muslim, Chinese & Philippino sailors … whom the Spanish marooned on this NAmerican continent. They either joined the Indians, or were wiped out by the Indians.
They drove t hem over the cliff before the Spaniards arrived and left a few horses to run around and become feral and then be captured and tamed by the Indians.
Who then became superb horsemen- and -women.
But when the going got tough (such as in the late winter), the Indians ate their horses.

It is absurd for these people, or anyone, to take such encounters between different groups of H. sapiens personally.
I think it would have been neat to be around when there were like ten different species of humans. If not for anything else just to see what they were like.
Same!
Same here, except for two and two half questions:
? Would we take it for granted? Since it is in another context?
• Would we have a time machine if we are transcending contexts?
? Were there ten different species of ‘humans’ (Do we even call them that?) at any one time and in one area near enough by to walk to?
• Would this be a dangerous/feasible undertaking?
Utterly alien and dangerous. We can’t even deal with different races or sub-species.
Yup, this was a savage land then, and it’s a savage land now. The only thing ameliorating the savagery now is government checks, but who knows how much longer they will last ?
“America was not discovered, it was detected”- Oscar Wilde

The thing about the Sioux, they weren’t on the western plains all that long (historically speaking) Even before being pushed out of the Great Lakes by the French, the Iroquois were kicking there asses in the Ohio Valley.
Southern Plains Indians, the Comanche, were originally part of the Shoshone people of the Colorado Rockies. These tribes didn’t become formidable until they mastered the Horse.
We had a little tribe here called the Tunxis, who mostly lived off Salmon from the Tunxis River and whatever they could grow in the meadows (which is still farmland). By all accounts they were treated pretty good by the English colonists, worshipping in the local Congregational Church & children attending local schools. Some were sent to the Indian college which is now Dartmouth. They could sue, and did sue, townspeople who encroached on their property … and usually won. At some point it was decided they move with other groups up to Stockbridge, Mass., a so-called Praying Town. After Stockbride they moved in with the Onieda people in NY State, then it was on to Greenbay, Wisc., where they remain to this day. (And they still maintain contact with our Historical Society)
I forgot to mention that the Tunxis Indians welcomed the English settlers because for decades, maybe centuries, Mohawks from the Hudson Valley had been routinely raiding them, carting off woman, children and anything of value they could steal.
To tie it all together, and bring it up to date, some Bison — what we call Buffalo’s — still roam the steppe in Ukraine; here’s to hoping Russian & Ukrainian soldiers refrain from shooting at them with their universal Kalashnikov rifles.
The Choctaw were similar. They quickly adopted to European cultures and became friends with the French settlers. The Choctaw were also often divided between friends with different Europeans like the Spanish and the British. Many Choctaw eventually sorta just disappeared into the settler cultures. Most people don’t get that indigenous people were often just as violent and scary as the settlers.
“… just as violent and scary as the settlers” but with inferior technology.
Give me a gun and i’ll scare ya real good, Doctor. lol
But with equal or superior technology? They’d have wiped us out to the last man and boy…

According to Economy and Industry Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura, who was at the lunch meeting, Kishida and the three lawmakers sat down to a spread of flounder, octopus and seabass as well as boiled pork, fruits and various vegetables in the leader’s office.

Anyway, it’s hard to predict how some people are going to be in some especially-difficult sociopoliticultural situations and of course that’s when people are more likely to lose colleagues, jobs, acquainances, friends, family and so on, whether by distancing, danger or death.
Since I decided not to wear a mask or get a vax, my attitude and approach during covid was to think on my feet and, for example, be as polite, reasonable and peaceful as possible and to try to understand, empathise and accept that not everyone’s going to see things my way no matter what. So maybe work with it, too. Be like water.
As for the rest– the choir– it’s best sometimes to seek them out, hang with them and conserve energies put to better uses, such as for them, rather than butting heads with others that get you less as far, if anywhere at all, and give you a headache.
“Only one made an effort to seek out other information and be honest with themselves.”
This is also untrue. JAZ and a couple of others said they got the jab and regretted it, and were definitely not telling any unvaxxed to “get in the cattle cars.”
Night Owl’s becoming a bit of a hysteric these days, it would seem.

It was inspired by other names that others hereon have called you; with my own gripe about non-transparent, agenda-driven sockpuppetry; along with, a science fiction novel perhaps, that someone may have once told me about about a long time ago, where each character apparently chose a name for each person they got to know and so each character had many different names. Or something like that.
It was also inspired by a sense of fun, play, imagination and the idea and attitude behind brothers being supportive of each other.

That’s pretty much what Guy Burgess’s character ( played by Anthony Hopkins ) says in the movie ,
” Blunt : The Fourth Man ”
A somewhat unsavory movie. Apparently all the Cambridge spy ring were homosexual or bisexual , which , no , doesn’t bother me ,
except these guys weren’t living on the street on account of their sexuality or Communist sympathies.
Anthony Blunt , for example , had a Knighthood , and was surveyor of the Queens art collection.
Apparently that they were queers , and possibly Communist fellow travelers was common knowledge ,
but they had the benefit of the old boy network.
Anyway , I certainly couldn’t disagree with that sort of statement though.
After all , it was my own conviction , and still is.

Every so often– too often– parasite politicians make me think of the kids that used to often get targeted for teasing and/or bullying in high school.
Perhaps it is their way to ‘even the score’.
I minded my own business in that regard and kept a relatively low profile– (usually half asleep in the back rows of the classes or daydreaming in the same spots while staring out the windows)– which isn’t to say I wasn’t aware of it sometimes.
Every so often they also make me think of Saturday Night Live or other similar tv-skit-type shows whose characters forgot to take off their masks, wigs and makeup before heading home.
John Bolton’s another one. In his case, he forgot to remove his mustache and wig.
This is just to add that I understand and respect that one person’s beautiful can be another’s ‘less so’, irrespective of any cosmetic additions, but that being parasitic makes one ‘less so’ across the board.
And that phrase comes from Enoch Powell – who correctly predicted disaster from the mass immigration of non-Whites into England.

Near as I can tell , most eastern Indians lived in fortified towns and villages , rather like old europe.
I think Town Creek Indian Mound in NC ,

and Fort Loudon in TN ,

Are vaguely similar.
The article doesn’t mention it , but Fort Loudon was ” right down the street ” from Echota , the old Cherokee capitol , also a fortified town.
Echota is now under a TVA lake.

Well the Europeans didn’t get breach – loading rifles until the Indian Wars were practically over.
Cannon and Gatling guns were a liability on battlefields that typically lacked roads.
The funny part about Custer’s Last Stand was that it happened when the show was pretty much over.
For the vast majority of the Indian Wars the Europeans had Matchlocks or Flintlocks.
I would encourage anybody to watch a matchlock or flintlock demonstration on Youtube.
It is not that much more high tech than spears and bows.
What the Europeans primarily had going for them was organization ;
Full – time paid soldiers who will obey even idiotic or at least suicidal orders ,
superior economic technology ; Steel axes and steel cooking pots versus stone axes and clay pots ,
and European populations were exploding at the same time Indian populations were being absolutely hammered by Measles , Smallpox , and VD.
( stuff you probably already know , but …. )
All good points, KA.
I’ve been reading this novel ‘1632’, kind of a scifi fantasy where a mountain town in WVirginia gets into a time warp and is transported into Central Germany in the middle of the 30 Years War. The author really did his homework and goes into detail about the 17th century weaponry employed by Swedish soldiers; pikes and swords, but also pretty effective artillery and surprisingly, somewhat accurate and deadly flintlock rifles. But against bolt action target rifles & lever action hunting rifles deployed by the UAW miners … they were pretty useless.

“A loaded question is one with a false or questionable presupposition, and that is what it is ‘loaded’ with. The famous question ‘Have you stopped beating your wife?’?the example given in almost every discussion of this fallacy?presupposes that you have beaten your wife prior to its asking, as well as that you have a wife. If you are unmarried, or have never beaten your wife, then the question is a loaded one.
Since this example is a yes-or-no question, there are only the following two direct answers:
‘Yes, I have stopped beating my wife’, which implies that I was beating my wife.
‘No, I haven’t stopped beating my wife’, which implies that I am still beating my wife, since you cannot stop something that you never started.
So, either direct answer implies that you have beaten your wife. Thus, a loaded question is one that you cannot answer directly without implying a falsehood, an unproven allegation, or something that you deny. For this reason, the proper response to such a question is not to answer it directly, but to either refuse to answer or to explicitly reject the question.” ~ Fallacyfiles.org

…Or add a description of the actual fallacy underneath, or…

“The word features prominently with a similar meaning in Douglas Hofstadter’s 1979 book, Gödel, Escher, Bach. It is used fancifully in discussions of symbolic logic, particularly Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, to indicate a question whose ‘answer’ is to either un-ask the question, indicate the question is fundamentally flawed, or reject the premise that a dualistic answer can be given.
‘Mu’ may be used similarly to ‘N/A’ or ‘not applicable’, a term often used to indicate the question cannot be answered because the conditions of the question do not match the reality. A layperson’s example of this concept is often invoked by the loaded question ‘Have you stopped beating your wife?’, to which ‘mu’ would be the only respectable response.” ~ Wikipedia
Or you could just answer the question and have a conversation about the subject. You know, like a back and forth?
August 30, 2023 at 5:48 pm
Zaz,
This is not really a loaded question.
I would say that as a logical fallacy it falls more along the line of innuendo-based trick question.
A fine line, but there is a distinction.
It’s a testing question: If he say yes, then I say, Well we don’t and never have. Don’t put that on us.
If he says no, then we can have a conversation because he believes race is real and presumably, important.
You’re like him and believe it’s just skin color – against all evidence. In any case, even if it was just skin color, it is a sign of probably cultural background. Even at this late date, most cultural is passed down via heterosexual reproduction and the family process such as it is. A Chinese person will probably be different because they are descended from Chinese parents who inculcated Chinese culture in them – to a greater or lesser extent. Over time in America, this will lessen over time and finally vanish – unless the racial element is a factor in and of itself.
Believe it in.

If you watch the first 15 minutes, you will see clips of the enormity of the black-out perimeter fence being inexplicably constructed around the kill-zone.
For what possible good could they be expending resources for the construction of that fence (or blind)? “Does not compute.”
I can sure think of a bad reason, though. I’ll bet that all the evidence will be shipped to Chinese steel recyclers faster than you can say, “9/11.”
Also, stelmo, what do you make of the pictures of the bizarre ring of fire around the town that awful night? Surely that was not a standard wind-blown wildfire pattern, right?

Edgy, they’re talking “holocaust” again. “Holocaust” and “Genocide” – yuck it up, funny boy.
“It’s an act of war. I mean, what can you say? This is one of the worst atrocities [that] we have seen in the last few years.”
Have you listened to Catherine Austin Fitts talking to Sasha Latypova about the real-estate grab and its rationale, OG?
CAF has seen this coming since the 90s (as I’m sure you know).

COVID-19 IMPACT
High Uncertainty across Several Sectors amid COVID-19 to Impede Growth
Since the onset of COVID-19 in early 2020, the industry has faced several challenges to maintain stable growth. The entire technology industry is recovering from the U.S.- China trade war and 2019’s down cycle. The International Data Corporation (IDC) estimated a revenue contraction of approximately 6% in 2020 (with 54% of probability) for the global semiconductor industry over the forecast period.
The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, which is also known as the “motor city,” has severely impacted automotive production in Asia, as it is the home to auto plants of General Motors, Honda, Nissan, Peugeot Group (PSA), Renault, and Toyota. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has estimated a 2% reduction in the export of automotive parts from China to other automotive manufacturers in the European Union (EU). Similarly, the U.S., South Korea, Japan, and many more could lead to automotive export reduction worth USD 7 billion from these economies to the rest of the world.
However, the rising need to work from home has drastically surged networking & communication, and data processing applications worldwide will lead to the moderate growth of the market for semiconductors in the long term.
LATEST TRENDS

The global athleisure market is anticipated to be worth USD 662.56 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to expand at 8.9% CAGR from 2022 to 2030. The term ‘Athleisure’ is a category of clothing, wherein the product is prepared from materials and offers properties that are generally associated with athletic wear & gym clothing but have been styled as everyday leisurewear. Thus, athleisure clothing offers the wearer general sportswear benefits, in a sleek and stylish look. Consumers across the globe have become more fixated on healthy lifestyle practices that involve various sporting as well as recreational activities, which has fueled the athleisure product demand in recent years.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the report:
Athleisure relates to various popular trends, such as a shift towards casual clothing across the globe, increased focus on convenience and comfort in addition to functionality, and the growing population of health-conscious consumers that take part in daily recreational and athletic activities that require appropriate clothing.
According to True Fit’s Fashion Genome, analysis of data from 180 million users and 17,000 brands found that athleisure orders increased by 84% since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic; in the U.K. alone, in December 2020, sales of athleisure bottoms, which include joggers, yoga pants, and leggings, among women were 5 times higher than the numbers seen in April 2020.
In terms of the type of product, mass athleisure accounted for the largest share of more than 60% in the market in 2021, with athletic-casual clothing having become more popular and accepted in various social scenarios. On the other hand, premium offerings are also expected to witness healthy growth in demand, as luxury brands launch products such as sneakers and leggings that are stylish and comfortable.

Leggings are used for physical activities such as cycling, running, and Zumba; they can be comfortably worn as casualwear as well as activewear, and are multi-purpose and long-lasting, thus driving their appeal.
The end-use segment in the athleisure industry comprises mainly men, women, and children; women account for a significant revenue share, aided by the growing women population involved in fitness-related and sports activities. Furthermore, brands are collaborating with leading women athletes to advertise their products, which has helped in driving sales.
North America is a leading contributor to the athleisure market, with the U.S. having a sizeable presence in the textile and apparel sector. Several major sportswear and active wear brands have extensive presence in this region, and constant advertising has increased consumer awareness regarding athleisure clothing.
The competition in the market is very high, aided by the presence of many international as well as regional players. Companies focus on the launch of innovative products, as well as partnerships and expansions, to drive growth. For instance, in July 2022, lululemon athletica announced that it would be launching in Spain with a local e-commerce site and two new stores in Madrid and Barcelona.
And Zonk is the winner, not by a nose but by yards and yards.
Is there really a winner in the special olympics?
Good one, Zilch Nada.

There is a special kind of comedy that springs from the self-important, pompous, pseudo-intellectual. It’s hard to put your finger on it but this is a perfect example of it. It is not funny. Rather, it is Grade-4, childlike stupid. Yet its pure lameness can generate a guffaw as one “must laugh or cry” at the “little weasel man” and his stunted child brain.
Yet only one of us posted facts.
By the way have you heard,
In the 20-plus years of Legacy Seeds’ alfalfa breeding program, the focus has always been on high-quality, high-yielding and persistent alfalfa. As we shared last year, former research director Dave Huset has complete trust in Olivia Steinmetz’s abilities to carry those pillars forward as his predecessor. Now that Olivia is officially the Director of Forage Research, she’s working to live up to Legacy Seeds’ name by ensuring the alfalfa program continues to be the best option for forage.
Future-Proofing Alfalfa
Breeding high-yielding, high-quality and persistent alfalfa requires forward thinking and preparing for potential problems. Given the time it takes to develop new perennial varieties, Olivia needs to anticipate what could become the next issue for alfalfa growers, so Legacy Seeds can start breeding for it now.
“There are emerging diseases all the time that can become problems for farmers,” she says. “My job is to predict what those problems could be and work on a solution before it gets out of hand.”
Olivia is also intentionally and sustainably growing the alfalfa breeding team so she can free up more of her time and energy to focus on the future.
“I really like to be proactive vs. reactive,” she says. “When you’re working in agriculture, so much of your day to day or at least season to season is still pretty reactive. You can’t plan for Mother Nature. So for the tasks that I do have some small amount of power to control, it’s really nice to have more time.”
Last year Legacy Seeds hired James Ferrell, who is currently completing his Master’s in Plant Breeding, as the new research manager.
Collaborating with Customers
The alfalfa program is able to breed for disease resistance and test that its varieties are meeting those three key pillars thanks to the 24-acre Research & Learning Center (RLC), an asset that Olivia calls “absolutely priceless.”
But it’s also where Legacy Seeds tests potential varieties for its other crop portfolios. Farmers can trust that if Legacy Seeds is selling something, it’s because it’s been 100% vetted by the research team.
The RLC is more than just a place for research. It’s also where farmers can come to see test plots and learn more about Legacy Seeds, which is a huge benefit for Olivia. Even if a farmer doesn’t grow alfalfa, she says they may be using corn for forage, so it gives her an opportunity to talk to those farmers, learn what they’re looking for in their forage, and discuss the possibility of including alfalfa. She adds that every spring and summer is different, so a grower can visit multiple times and still see something new.
She wants even more collaboration to happen at RLC and hopes to invite other experts, including growers, to come share their insights.
“I’m really happy I work for a company that allows me the opportunity to be my own spokeswoman,” Olivia says. “That is so important because I can’t just be growing all of these things in the background that I think are interesting. I need to know what is actually important to our farmers.”
Leaving a Legacy
Everything Olivia does and the direction she’s taking the alfalfa program all comes back to those three pillars. But it’s the persistence?— continued high quality and yields for years to come — is what she feels really sets Legacy Seeds’ alfalfa apart from others.
The most expensive crop is the crop you plant twice, so the breeding team takes persistence seriously by letting their material prove itself over time, starting from disease screening in the RLC greenhouses to trial plots on the farm. Legacy Seeds alfalfa has proven to be 90% persistent after 3 winters, with growers seeing 4-5 year stands that continue to bring tonnage and quality.
“It’s not as if there’s one gene for persistence and there’s no replication for time,” Olivia says. “With a name like Legacy, it almost feels like this constant and subconscious thought of, ‘This is my legacy. I can’t rush this.’ With it being a perennial crop, a farmer wants it to last and have a good stand for years.”
She’s proud of the patience the breeding program commits to in allowing the material to prove itself.
“We’re setting up these dominoes, and it can take 4-6 years for certain dominoes to fall, but our pipeline is always full of really, really excellent material,” she says. “I’m really excited and proud of what we’ve been doing. And I’m really looking forward to having some of these decisions that we’ve been making for the last few years see the light of day.”

==========
This Olivia person seems to have a great fondness for the word really.
“Really” is one of those modifiers you really, really have to watch out for, or you’ll really overuse it and really, really, offend you’re readers. Not to mention it displays a really limited vocabulary and makes you appear to be really, really dumb – with or without the boldface added for emphasis.
Why would you post all this unrelated here?
Just random facts.
How is it different from random conjecture?
a) Do not clutter my topic with your unrelated shit. That is rude! You are rude to me, JHK and every other poster here at CFN.
b) I submitted video evidence of the black-out blind fencing being constructed around the kill-zone. That is not conjecture, that is evidence and documentation of fact. Facts that you don’t like.
c) I then ask if anyone can think of a valid reason for spending resources in this bizarre way. This was your opportunity to counter and explain away this seemingly inexplicable fence.
d) I then share my analysis of these facts and convincingly (if I do say so myself) present the seemingly obvious motive – it was a kill-zone and they are destroying the evidence.
e) I then ask stelmo his expert opinion on pictures of a bizarre oblong ring of fire circling Lahaina that night because no natural fire-and-wind could/would form that.
f) I then point out that your ridicule of me for using the word, “genocide” a week ago in reference to this fenced-in, media blacked-out, kill-zone is proving ridiculous itself as more and more eyewitness testimony, evidence and analysis backs my claim notwithstanding your feeble little brain’s inability to handle the truth.
g) I then followed it all with a quote from analyst Max Igan that further supports my assertion that 8/8 Lahaina was indeed genocide of the rightful landowners.
There was no “conjecture” in my entire post. Rather, you simply say that there was because your feeble little child brain cannot accept the obvious truth.
We all know that, Edgy.

“Genocide” is IMO quite clearly not appropriate to the Lahaina event and just muddies the water.
It has a specific meaning, and is also heavily freighted.
So, IMO it should not be thrown around casually and misused for emotional effect.
Even if the fire or the response to the fire was intended to impact native Hawaiians who are clustered in a particular area—which we do not know—that still does not rate “genocide.”
Good question, Ammon. It would appear that Edgy is not, as he would have us believe, naive but, rather, is corrupt and is purposefully diverting and squelching discussion of Lahaina and Manifest Destiny here at the free-speech forum that is JHK’s CFN.
Zonk I started to watch that video from bitchute you linked. The BS stopped me in the first 30 seconds. I can’t waste my time on that crap. When Michio Kaku (who I used to respect) talks about shooting trillion watt lasers into the sky to control the weather I just shake my head and say WTF. The largest Nuclear plant in the world is Taishan in China and puts out 1.75 Billion watts. I guess if you hooked 572 of these reactors together ( that’s a big power cord) you could power a trillion watt laser. I suppose you could power the laser for a 1000th of a second with a billion watt flux capacitor™ but we’ll have to wait for Dr. Brown to invent the damn thing.
Kesa had the last word early on Lahaina.
Amman, I was wondering the same thing.
Waste of vertical and also brain space.
In interviews before his death, the Great George Carlin would prognosticate that the slow collapse of American society and culture would inevitably lead to “Blood in the Streets”, and the interviewers and the audiences would all laugh.
Carlin definitely had a rare “Gift”.
Carlin could probably dress up as a doctor and tell the patient that the patient only has 6 months to live and everyone would probably laugh hysterically….
Do you remember George Carlin’s joke about the prison bureaucrat executioner who would swab the prisoner’s arm with alcohol so that he wouldn’t get an infection just before administering the lethal injection?
This is exactly what the US is like now.
People are so obtuse that they’ll just line up for it, or we’ll just waltz into nuclear war?
Yes. Essentially the entire point of modern culture is to transform humans into cattle.
Some would say (me) that permanently institutionalized slavery began with animal domestication, continued through the permanent class-system development of the intensively agricultural civilizations, and has been crowned by a faux emancipation via hydrocarbon energy that will reveal itself shortly, at the gravelly end of Hydrocarbon Lane, to be fully fake and actually an almost complete circle of enslavement of terrestrial life and humankind by humankind, a system of enslavement that will finally implode on itself at whatever speed when the hydrocarbon rug is pulled.
Very interesting and it does seem very plausible to me. I do wonder what exactly will be the event or set of events that pull the rug. Or maybe it is happening incrementally and then will be very sudden?
Back in the good old days of pre-history, all wars were wars of extermination. One group coveted the other’s territory and merely want to get rid of them (exterminate them) and take over their territory. This was presumably because, in a hunter-gatherer or pastoral society, slavery was impractical except in a haphazard kind of way. The objective was territory, an not to make the conquered people into subjects to be systematically exploited. And this was because it is impractical to make a slave do your hunting or herding for you.
Slavery, in the sense of extracting taxes and tribute from a conquered people, only became practical with the advent of agriculture. The reason you could do this is because enslaving agriculturists was merely a matter of land tenure. If the conquering people owned the land, the conquered people could either pay up or get out–and it was much more profitable to the conquerors if they paid up. This was the beginning of the State–systematic economic exploitation of a conquered people in a conquered territory.
It takes a fairly sophisticated legal apparatus to set something like this up, but humans quickly figured it out.
So I think historians pretty much agree that State systems were an outgrowth of agricultural economies.
This outcome is not inevitable. In very ancient times, it appears that agricultural societies somethimes existed peacefully contemporaneously with hunter-gatherer and pastoralist societies and engaged in mutually beneficial trade, and sometimes even intermarried to a small extent. This seems to have been the case in Old Europe’s agricultural societies, apparently dating back as far as 7500 BC. But the archaeological record also seems to indicate that, while they got along okay in times of plenty, things got a little dicey in times of want. (I’m drawing on the book, “The Horse, the Wheel, and Language” on this. Great book about pre-history!)
I do agree that the main reason–and probably the only reason–that actual chattel slavery was mostly abandoned is because of technology. Why have a live-in slave, when you have hot and cold running water, central heat and air, a dishwasher, a washer-dryer, and a Roomba? You’d probably need several slaves, at considerable cost, to do the same tasks. You’d have to feed and house them, live in constant contact with them, manage them, pay for their medical needs, and keep them around when they got old. Plus they’d probably have kids.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Great summary. Agriculture and slavery go hand in hand.
Early agriculturists could coexist with hunter/gatherer neighbors until their farming created surpluses that fed population growth to the point that more fields were needed for the next generations… The gradual crowding out of hunter/gatherers began.
Well, at least, I now know who Roald Dahl is…..
What a weird culture….
“ Does this mean Willy Wonka was a pedophile? Why would a candy maker tell kids to lick wallpaper that is the same flavor as a penis? Why would a candy maker even create that kind of wallpaper in the first place? Well it wouldn’t be the only time that Roald Dahl created a pedophile character in one of his books. Ever heard of The BFG?
The BFG (short for “Big Friendly Giant”) is a 1982 children’s book written by Dahl, and was turned into a movie by Disney. The story is about a giant who steals a sleeping girl, from an orphanage, out of her bedroom. The giant then befriends the girl and takes her to a magical world. The sounds like a sweet story, but most people don’t know the origin of The BFG.
In Jeremy Treglown’s 1994 biography of Roald Dahl, it was revealed that The BFG was originally a pedophile. The biography mentions that Farrar, Straus and Giroux, who worked with Dahl, were the ones who would changed his child-inappropriate manuscript of the pedophile BFG into a loving giant.
However, some of the hints of pedophilia may still remain in final version of The BFG. The girl was taken from an orphanage, and statistics show that at least 75% of children in foster care will be sexually abused.
The story also showcases Stockholm syndrome, a syndrome present in many cases of sexual abuse, as the little girl befriends the giant who kidnapped her.
Therefore, just like The BFG, Willy Wonka may have also been a pedophile in the original manuscript. Some things may have been changed from that original manuscript, but the snozzberry reference remained and will forever make people question the true nature of Willy Wonka”
Interesting. This also makes sense with what I mentioned earlier–his books for adults were pretty raunchy.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Hardly a popular theory nowadays ,
but maybe airing peoples dirty laundry isn’t an absolute positive good ?
For example , ever since Watergate , impeachment has become a full – time , perpetual Washington cottage industry.
Has anyone calculated how much it has cost ?
Maybe over a billion now ?
On a related note , or the same note ,
I have always thought if man ever acquired the ability to literally read minds , the result would be paralysis , then extinction.
If he was a pedophile it would be unfortunate, but his work remains his work. His books are excellent.
As a kid I always loved the “Goonies” film, because it was set in Oregon, had a story that any kid would probably want to be a part of, a great cast, and some truly well-written scenes.
As I got older and learned about Hollywood, the term “One-eyed Willy” among other items in the film took on a whole new meaning.
The obvious pedo stuff is disgusting, but the film is still great.
My kids loved Roald Dahl. There’s a very creepy short story of his where a schoolgirl is being pestered by a creepy bloke on the bus home. A middle-aged woman befriends her and invites her home for a cup of tea so that she doesn’t have to risk getting off at the same time as the man. Then, when she gets to the woman’s house, the creepy bloke is in the house waiting for them. ‘Tales of the Unexpected’, I think. Totally freaked me out, that one.
I will have to look for that one.
Henry James was no stranger to psycho-creepiness. Check out The Turn of the Screw.
httpX://www.sparknotes.com/lit/screw/summary/
Children who are innocent and become corrupted, or who are corrupt and corrupt others, and adults with whom they have odd relationships, seem to be a mainstay of a lot of creepy stories.
Is this all a kind of “cover” narrative for the creepiness that actually exists in human relationships, esp. with innocent children?
Are bent adults projecting their weirdness onto children?
Don’t forget Freud! He orignally observed that girls were being sexually abused by fathers and others. When he published these findings, the outcry was so overwhelming that Freud, fearing for hes future career, came up with the new hypothesis: that children were just imagining these things and that the children had sexual fixations on their parents and adults.
Whereas, the REALITY that Freud “innocently” (free of propaganda and pushback) seems to have observed was the opposite: that some adults were sexually obsessed with and fixated on children, particularly little girls.
The central question in The Turn of the Screw — is the ghost/man real, or is she imagining the whole thing?
It’s unanswerable, which is why the book is riveting and troubling, and has many relatable parallels to any number of “sightings” or experiences in all times, and by people who are otherwise “practical, sober materialists”.
Impugning James’ character by your own weird armchair pop psychology of thinking a novella’s plot is the wish fulfillment of sick fantasies of the actual author is a ploy of hysterics who often haven’t even read the work, or who don’t understand how literature works to create its effects.
The original Grimm’s Fairy Tales were pretty adult-themed too, for violence, and then somehow became beloved childrens’ fare.
Nowadays, all you have to do is look on the shelves of school libraries to find in-your-face pedo porn aimed at kids, no metaphors needed. I just saw an email from Libs of TikTok where she presented screenshots of the porn kids have available in Georgia schools. They were graphic comic books. Lots of little boys having fellatio forced on them, lots of “trans” sexual stuff as well.
And the librarians of the school and other admins defended it when people asked about why it was there. Because, you know, little kids will grow up to be bigots if you don’t shove porn in their face early enough.
Dahl looks pretty tame in comparison – although don’t take this to mean I defend his pedo ways.
Oh, forgot it was linkable – judge for yourselves:
https://www.libsoftiktok.com/p/sc?publication_id=824253
I recently copyedited a book on this controversial subject—the political struggle over school libraries.
One of the titles that excited a lot of controversy was a new version of The Diary of Anne Frank.
The blurb at Amazon for this “new version” is this:
“A timeless story rediscovered by each new generation, The Diary of a Young Girl stands without peer. This graphic edition remains faithful to the original, while the stunning illustrations interpret and add layers of visual meaning and immediacy to this classic work of Holocaust literature.”
A. This is not a “timeless story.” It is a very specific story of historical events in a specific place and time. Red flags with the first sentence!!
Curious, I looked at a few reviews, including those with on star. Some reviwers included graphics that had upset both parents and child readers of the new book.Check them out.
Needless to say, I was totally not converted to the “liberal” view of placing such books in school libraries.
In fact, i am completely against “retelling” anyone’s historical story for a new generation.
That has nothing to do with Dahl. People like the sensation of being frightened and having their imaginations piqued by works of the imagination. That is what Dahl was very good at.
Re Grimms’ Fairy Tales, they were heavily sanitized for a general audience, and many of the more gruesome tales never made it into the published collections.
I did a search at Google.de for the original texts, but didn’t get any obviously useful hits. Also the entry and German Wiki does not appear to contain any information on this. It would take me longer to find some academic articles on the subject of the original texts and their reworking.
The Grimm’s Fairy Tales aren’t enduring because of accident or promotion by sick fantasists. All cultures have their own versions of these eternal truths. They’re allegories for the very real dark natures of humans. Hansel & Gretel, i.e., details the old hag tricking the kids into her home where she desires to eat them.
Oh no, cannibalism! Sexual perversion!
No, it’s an extended allegory of the (if it pertains) sick and dependent mother’s wish to dominate and consume her children by not letting them become healthy, independent kids who need friends, experiences, and relationships with other people.
It’s amazing that quite a few posters here profess to read literature, and then post shit which shows that they’re idiotic literalists or knee-jerk psychoanalysts who think troubling reflections are always signs of the author’s own wishes.
Then there’s the complete lack of aesthetic recognition by Anthea in none other than John Donne, and another literary heavyweight she scoffed at that I forget at the moment.
Thanks for turning our very pertinent discussion into your personal bitchfest.
Almost makes you as angry as a young mother ushering her kids into a minivan outside a diner, huh?
You have a dire habit of assuming bizarrely mistaken tone in others’ posts. It’s also a transparently pathetic deflection from all the points I’ve raised, another bad habit (or tactic, rather).
No, I just have a good memory and recall that post. A few others commented on it, too. The vitriol and violence came out of nowhere.
A happy family getting into their minivan enraged you. And like tucsonslur, somehow it’s justified because you’re oh so literary.
LOL.
P.S. You completely missed the point re: Grimms.
LOL that wallpaper was fruit flavored, Puckie. You are so crazy lol!

Poor Ireland. I’m pretty sure my Dublin in-laws would think this was great. My sister-in-law (who’s actually lovely) almost shudders when she pronounces the word ‘covid’, as if she were summoning the Candyman.
Totally unsurprising.
Not a nation or people known for their intellect, innovation, or independent thinking. Easily conquered by the church and the British. Congenitally self-defeating.
One of those island countries with outsized pride. Like Puerto Rico. At least Puerto Rico brought the world the Piña Colada.
That’s actually a good point. The Island countries really don’t have much in the way of defense against this kind of take-over.
It took centuries for the English to conquer Ireland. It wasn’t “easy”.
Is this Carghoul?
If you don’t think deforestation can have serious permanent consequences, there’s always Ireland to look at..
I’m sure the whack jobs that haunt this site believe that Saint Patty drove the trees off along with snakes, 3 leafed clovers, and whatever island inhabitants had self respect with his weather staff
I guess you think you are the only entity “frequenting this site” who is not a whack job.

Kind Soul,
I recently watched an episode of a Netflix documentary (no cheesy poofs consumed).
The host visits Okinawa, a rare place on Earth with the most centenarians per cap, and asks the inhabitants what is the secret to longevity.
An old but spriteful mamasan says to laugh, be happy, and be kind. Nver angry. Never argue.
I have the first 2 nailed down, the third is going to take some real effort, or get me tossed out of this game at 75ish.
But it’s OK to call someone a weasel, right, O.G.?
I see your consternation is very selective, and not directed toward yourself. Because the problem is always everyone else. Never you.
There is a big difference, Mare.
“Crazy” and “whack job” are juvenile ad homs that don’t truly apply to their targets while Night Owl really is a little weasel that will neither cough up nor recant (like a man would).

What are you talking about? I own my errors. I said that I was justifiably banned before I got better, for example.

Yeah, only oil has reforested some of Easter Island in recent decades, after centuries.

maybe the last gasp of fossil fuels could be used to reforest many areas? I mean, in theory at least..

Define misinformed? Just another power grab, we will tell you what is the truth!!
Some may recall the slides I posted here a number of months ago covering clothing and food allowances in line with the C40 initiative/Great Reset–stuff they are slowly prepping the public for.
Well, another confirmation today:
“A report from C40 Cities – the green globalist gang chaired by London Mayor Sadiq Khan – has suggested a daily 44g meat allowance and rations lower than in the Second World War.”
https://twitter.com/toadmeister/status/1697157314703151207
Keep in mind the “long-term” target for meat consumption is 0 grams per year.
I just saw someone has a copy of one of the slides down in the comments:
https://twitter.com/RobertJMawson/status/1697187810900353057
“0 private vehicles, 1 short-haul flight per year,” etc.
And yet the BRICS nations are seeking to build up their fossil fuel based economies. China and India most notably are increasing the number of their coal plants, etc. So I am beginning to think the whole WEF Great Reset plot is actually complete subterfuge. It is not because they believe they will help the Earth or the environment. They simply want to demolish the Western world because they are being paid to do so by nations within BRICS. Everyone around the world knows that Western elites are thorough traitors to their own nations and entirely soulless. They are simply being used and will be exterminated at the appropriate time by their “clients”.
SSL
IMHO
BRICS ++ and WEF are diametrically opposed.
WEF is a group of super liberal Westerners that want power over the people concentrated with the power elite. They believe that the government is the only entity wise enough to run things. IOW, they are diametrically opposed to the words of John Locke and the beliefs of the Founders. Biden’s gang, by signing up to these globalist forces, are committing treason against the USA Constitution.
Here is the rub. Considering the goals of most of the posters here, who is the biggest enemy to the Constitution, the WEF or BRICS++?
Is the Biden Mob looking out for itself to the detriment of the country?
Yeah the Western elites have been treasonous in their conduct for a long time. For the most part I think you are right that BRICS is diametrically opposed to WEF but their could some complications and layers to it as well.
They are, but WEF and co. were courting China, hoping to use it as their new power center, once they had fully exploited the US.
Xi appears to have duped them and gone his own way.
Then why the War against Russia? And perhaps against China in the forseeable future?
I think they did want to play these nations against the West, but have come to realize they these nations were simply playing them and are now seen as enemies.
Anyway, that’s my current theory.
I remember Alba and NO going at this question, with Alba defending the WEF policies. Anyone else? NO?
That is a good point. I think it is possible that it goes back to factions within the elite that you have mentioned before. Perhaps some factions are more sold out than others? The hardcore Atlanticists appear to the be the faction most committed to the war with Russia and the cold war with China. But I think it is because they want their resources and wealth. But I do agree with you that the Western elites in totality have been duped to believe that the elites within Russia and China and elsewhere would sync with their plans. There may be factions in those countries that still will. But their elites seem to be more nationalistic and patriotic overall as near as i can tell.
Agree. There are wheels within wheels. And Alba, after her conversion, argued convincingly that Putin is on board with the WEF plan, but may be insisting on his own version of it and at least some autonomy.
I have quite a bit of respect for GA. And not because we largely agree now.
She got curious and went on her own journey, as did I years ago.
Many people will never take that step, much less show any humilty about anything related.
“I remember Alba and NO going at this question, with Alba defending the WEF policies. Anyone else? NO?”
I did not defent the WEF per se at any point. I originally didn’t know who they were. I did accept climate change ‘science’ as largely true, which is why (along with my acceptance of fossil fuel depletion from TLE, Colin Campbell, Matt Simmons, Richard Heinberg, The Oil Drum and such other places I frequented) got rid of my car some 20 years ago. And took the train to my firm’s London office when everyone else took a plane. I don’t regret that particularly – I see no virtue in wasting energy.
And yes NO and I went at it hammer and tongs about a few things. I genuinely looked up clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine, for example, and genuinely did not realise how corrupt medical publishing was, probably because I worked in the relatively uncorrupted textbook side of it.
But I never defended Agenda 2030 as such because I didn’t know what the detail of it actually was, beyond cutting down on fossil fuel use, and we’re going to have to do that anyway.
And I still think Putin is ‘in on it’, just defending his own fiefdom. If you read ‘Edward Slavsquat’ and others, it’s beyond obvious. How he reconciles his supposed Christian orthodoxy with delivering his people into the maw of the same dystopian digital gulag as the west is heading towards, I have no idea. I’m not a mind reader.

You have just touched on another topic about which I am OCD.
If I am getting an item out of the refrigerator or putting away an item, I will try to do it as quickly as possible so as not to have the doors open too long allowing the cold air to escape. My wife, on the other hand, is in no particular hurry. But I have learned not to complain too strenuously.
But what has really gotten my hackles up recently is Evelyn, the woman we have hired to take care of the messes that Peter creates. Evelyn will scrub the dishes in the sink to an insane degree of cleanliness while the hot water runs continuously. She will take an empty Poland Spring plastic water bottle and wash it inside and out for minutes in preparation for it to be refilled with distilled water and placed back in the refrigerator.
I avoid being openly critical of Evelyn since she does such an excellent job with Peter (a job for which she should wear a hazmat suit) but when the water runs and runs I have to bite my lip from asking her “Is water free in Ghana?”
Makes sense.
Way backö I pointed out that China was magically given a full pass on the Paris Climate Accords. That was no accident.
Wonder where Charles 3 is on this?
Also, what are meat centered cultures going to do? Like the Native Americans here?
These are just figments of some WEF intern’s imagination. That’s practically the end of the substance.
Charles Windsor is up to his neck in WEFery.
Here’s a thing that I find weird. The other day I was listening to Brian Gerrish of UKC interviewing the architect, Leon Krier. He’s apparently a friend of JHK – and indeed JHK, CFN and even The Long Emergency got a notable mention at about 13 minutes (followed by a section on the hideous Scottish Parliament building at Holyrood).
ukcolumn.org/video/a-glimpse-into-cities-architecture-planning-and-control-with-leon-krier
Anyway, Krier is the architect who created Charles’ anti-modernist Poundbury project, in Dorset. What I can’t figure out is why Charles W. (sorry, I just can’t call him by his title, because it feels like acquiescence) is, on the one hand, apparently so keen on classical architecture in a modern urban setting, while totally backing a UN project that involves the majority of people living a 24/7 dystopian surveilled life in rabbit hutches in smart cities. Has he just been acting all these years or has he got a split personality? Or is he, as they so tolerantly say, ‘conflicted’?
Also, if Dr John Coleman’s writings are accurate, Charles is now the head of the Committee of 300 that runs the world.
He ran (bled dry?) the Duchy of Cornwall for decades and it’s the poorest region in the UK and, I think, the second poorest region of Europe. Being a feudal lord is, I’m sure, what he feels he was born for.
I suspect that he has absolutely no conflict whatsoever, GA. I think that King Charles probably likes rabbit hutches in smart cities for you and I and classical architecture for the top 1% of the top 1%.
Well, that seems likely, OG. But Poundbury is sort of middle class, not full of plutocrats. So maybe it’s just an aesthetic thing, or maybe he’s laughing in our faces.

Buy cutting them down, hailing them to the desert, and burying them under a barrier all balanced by carbon credits.

Worst part about the entire sad venture, beside the fine print where usable timber will be sold, is the cultural appropriation of the Japanese tree spirit name.

Hauling

How about another idea.
Step 1 Wildfire the forests, the trunks are mostly intact.
Step 2 Haul away the skeletons of the forests to a chipper facility.
Step 3 Create chips of all the downed trunks and other waste.
Step 4 Send out biomass as another alternative to fossil fuels.
Step 5 Realize in hindsight that burning biomass causes CO2.
By that time, enough folks realize that the whole climate thing is a fiasco ridden drive for power.

Tearing up the desert and filling it with felled old-growth forests can lead one to envision a barren dystopian hellscape.

The AI alarmists like Eliezer Yudkowsky have always warned about AI and a set of directives. Like the paper clip maximizer/instrumental convergence, etc.
But what about humans with the same programming?

Prophecy authors are always emotionally torn between saying what they think will happen (doomsday) and sending an urgent warning in an arguably puny attempt to forestall or defeat it. One can see JHK’s futuristic novels, and even his bi-weekly missives, in this light.
Of course, there’s always the sardonic and the satiric futurists, too, which sounds like a cheerier way to deal with collapse — the techno-triumphant fiction of Thomas Pynchon in Against The Day, e.g., where under-desert high-speed trains compete with horse-and-buggy, sawed-off shotgun midwest violence. His prediction? Power conglomerates inevitably form no matter how advanced the techno capabilities of a nation.
Concerning Q’s Shit List:
I actually maintain such a list. It is on a 4.5” x 5.5” piece of paper that sits on the left side of the desk I sit at. So, what, you may ask, does it mean to be on this list and how does one earn this distinction?
It means that I will never respond to anything you write nor will I ever even mention your screen name. You probably achieved this dubious honor by showing yourself to be a person who is here to deliberately enter into rude and offensive arguments because it is your greatest pleasure in life.
I’ve been on this sight for a little over 15 years. In the early years I was greatly amused by clever and cutting ad hominems like dickweed, penis breath, and shit for brains, but I have outgrown it and have become annoyed by it, even when those insults had nothing to do with me personally.
And so, if you happen to notice a total lack of response from me in relation to you or anything you have written you are probably on Q’s Shit List.
So there… hmmmph
‘on this sight’? Tut, tut, Q. 🙂
I’m standing by ‘cockwomble’ for special occasions.
Cockwomble. You Brits certainly have a way with words. I might have to break that one out here locally one day, just to see the reaction it gets.

But you,YOU!, are at a loss if you make his list and are pardoned from his pedant’s scrutiny.

In all honesty, dropping the mask, I would actually enjoy more stories of Peter and his antics.
I have a solid image of him in my mind: a later years Dom DeLuise, white canvas newsboy hat, a mobility scooter, the velcro open-toed sandals that obese people with circulatory issues are fond of wearing, and a hankering for cocktail shrimp, wherever/whenever
The Q. has said several times that Peter “has no ass whatsoever,” so I’m not sure the Dom DeLuise image is accurate. He might be more of a senile Stephen Merchant type.

Besides a standard commentary of nothing more than spelling and grammatical errors – EL
============
I have written innumerable comments on subjects that interest me beyond spelling and grammar errors.
Are the souls of bacteriums immortal?
These are questions that cannot be answered although Enquiring minds want to know.
bacteriums?
They say bacterium in the stomach biome affect the host’s health and behaviors.
If the human host has a soul it stands to reason that the bacterium’s souls would join it in whatever adventures await.
This has now morphed into something akin to the ship of Theseus thought experimentation.
My point was that the plural of bacterium is not bacteriums.
Edge and others,
This is what google has to say about Theseus’ ship:
“The ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus’ paradox, is a thought experiment that raises the question of whether an object that has had all of its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object. The paradox is most notably recorded by Plutarch in Life of Theseus from the late first century.”
The difference between T’s ship and the human body is that the bacteria in the human gut have lives independent of the human body and independent from one bacterium to the next. Each human has one animating principle, one soul. Each bacterium has its own animating principle, its own soul.
In any case this paradox can raise all sorts of related issues and discussions. e.g. We typically refer to God as He but does “He” have a penis? If yes, why? If no, in what sense is He a “he?”
The answer is it’s all mythology. We humans are desperate for an explanation of where we come from and where we’re going when the animating principle ceases to animate our material bodies. So we conceive stories to explain it and we’re limited by our language, our pronouns.
Why do humans fear and resist death? I will suggest: because deep down they know damn well when you die it is truly all over. Sorry if you find this horribly disturbing.
I get your point GA. I am trying to emphasize that each one of these little suckers is an individual being with its own soul (animating principle).
I catch your drift Q.
Along those lines and the lines of the ship, if nothing that makes you you is left, is it you in the afterlife?
Even the independent living things that make you you are gone. The bacterium.
Clearly you would not have your body, or your personality, your flaws, your ticks, your idiosyncrasies, your baggage.
You would be without everything that makes you you. Not only has the ship been replaced, it has been scuttled.
The people that yearn for an afterlife clearly yearn for a restart, or a rebirth, or a future full of Xanax Percocet and Reefer all smiles and no pain and no memory
Not to get too metaphysical, but there are/were branches of hermetics and Kabbalists who believe that humans role on this plane is to repair the world until it is worthy to receive the god.
(What is the god? Knowledge of the universe? Another argument, but I digress…)
First, by observing the gods rules, second by working to make things better “repair” (by not breaking those rules or making life worse for others).
If your work was insufficient, god isn’t coming and you’re coming back (reincarnated). If you were really bad or a rule breaker, you’re starting over (reincarnated as a lesser). Like any strain of religion, some take this to extremes, lest you flirt with returning as a
bacterium
@ Q. Shtik:
It’s true that “humans are desperate for an explanation of where we come from and where we’re going…,” but that doesn’t mean there is no explanation. It is absolutely mind-blowing to cotemplate life and existence at all. Not only is our understanding of this very crude, so also is our ability to understand it. And, after all, most of us humans are not too interested in pursuing anything but “operative knowledge.” For the most part, we want to know how things work only to the extent that this knowledge is of some practical use to us. We want to know about physics so we can make tools. We want to know about agriculture so we can grow more food, etc. Questions about how everything got here and what we are doing here are overshadowed by questions about what is for dinner and what might be the best oven temperature for preparing it.
Even our morals and ethics are almost purely practical in nature. They’re just the rules for having a functioning society that doesn’t go extinct.
I guess people decide on their religious beliefs based on what makes sense to them–though many people recount direct religious experiences, such as seeing heaven or meeting Jesus or Mary.
Reflecting on religious matters is mostly just a matter of taking an interest in gaining an understanding of the world beyond the level of purely “operative” knowledge. And when it comes to such matters, human understanding of them is bound to be very crude because of the limitations of the human mind–which is mostly wired for “operative knowledge.” For one thing, this type of understanding can’t really be conveyed in words. You can start out with a “divine idea,” and it just turns to ashes when you try to convey it in words. And what’s maybe worse is that you get people using words as some kind of magic incantation–such as, “I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.” Reciting the incantation is assumed to be their ticket to heaven, but I’d doubt if very many people have the slightest idea of what the words mean.
Anyway: The bottom line is that you can’t tell anyone much of anything about it.
I will admit that Nock’s opinion on these matters has a great deal of appeal. He said, “How could anyone possibly know anything about it?”
“bacteriums”????

Prediction
If an impeachment does not occur this fall, the GOP is history.
Third party, anyone? Manchin? Sinema? Ramaswamy? Trump? Kennedy? Trump, you say you are doing it all for your country, damnit act like it.
With no impeachment the 2024 election is a moot point as the Deep State GOP is just a rubber stamp. Uniparty will prevail, at all levels.
The third party potential is the only opposition to the scum in DC.
1856!!
I think Trump would be very keen to team with RFK Jr. to build an entirely new political bloc. The problem is that RFK Jr. is not open to such an alliance. Thus a realistic third party bloc is not likely at this time. I still say its not the left as much as it is a globalist elite that is attempting to run the show behind the curtains. But I think they are completely sold out to foreign interests that want them gone in the end too. So they are not nearly as powerful as what they are struggling to project.
Hmmm, maybe they would team up to form a new party—as opposed to trying to create a Pres + VP ticket. Because in the latter case someone has to be in second place. And I can see why that is unacceptable to both men.
But I can imagine a situ where the call goes out from Trump and RFK to all of those on both the “left” and the “right” who feel —or realize—that they have been disenfranchised by the current two-party system.
Get started with the creation of a new party, the Constitutional Party, whose purpose is to defend all of Americans’ hard-won rights in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and Amendments thereto. Have low party dues of, say, $20.
Hold a series of party conferences in different parts of the country to hone the program with participation by the public adn discuss relevance to that region and its issues.
Each conference to be opened with a public reading of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights and amendments.
Aim to field a complete slate of federal and state candidates by 2028.
Something like that . . .
As in what? The censuring of Joe Biden? Maybe. They’re not going to remove him – even if they could.
That would be against the rules. As Tucker said, Trump broke the rules when he said they knew there was no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq but went ahead anyway.
I am hearing the A-Team theme song playing as you typed this.

JAZ, Cornell West is already running as a 3rd party candidate. Of course he won’t win, but his candidacy would take away mostly Dem votes, helping the Repubs. I know he comes across as a weirdo, but I wouldn’t underestimate him – I’ve heard him speak and he’s quite bright, plus he has a cutting sense of humor
Absolutely. He’s a haircut away from being a non-weirdo.
“he’s quite bright, has a cutting sense of humor, and he spits through his teefs real good.”
That’s why you never see the front row occupied during one of his speeches.
He’s running as a Green. They are now more authoritarian than the Dem party.
He champions Antifa, BLM and the trans agenda.
He’s a fucking clown.
The Green Party may as well be called The Clown Party at this stage.
Personally, I’m tired of the 9-11 BS
It would ring hollow what with the totally open borders, the Biden funding of terrorism on the innocents of Russia, and the new New York skyline of $50m penthouses.

It may be Lewy dementia.
“What are the first signs of Lewy body dementia?
“What Is Lewy Body Dementia?
In dementia with Lewy bodies, problems with thinking, unpredictable changes in attention and alertness, and visual hallucinations develop early in relation to movement symptoms, such as slow movement, difficulty walking, and muscle stiffness.”
Two of the symptoms are sudden apparent loss of mental focus/attention, and hallucinations.
However, it is not real dementia. Nor it is Parkinson’s nor Alzheimer’s.
I had an uncle that died from Lewy Body.
It is hideous.
Different from Alzheimer’s as it affects a different part of the brain. The Lewy bodies.
It affects coordination very early, like Parkinson’s. I noticed my uncles shuffling gait first.
It is hideously fast, two years as opposed to Alzheimer’s ten to twenty. He spent his last year with little cognition at all. He was in a memory floor for that year.
Normie Credo: If it is not absolutely necessary to change, it is absolutely necessary not to change. One changes one’s ideas when told to do so by those in charge. Otherwise, you defend the narrative. When logic fails, use bile, invective, and humor. Don’t give an inch. Your opponent is a monster who wants to change the narrative without authorization.
Logic is not better than humor or invective – and not as much as fun either. The point is not to change in any case.

One of the replies that irritates me is when you thank someone or say goodbye, and they respond by saying “ Have a good one”.
One what? A good sexual encounter? A good life? A good job? Etc.
Or am I getting Q-like in my old age?
“Have a good one” – beantown
==========
Agree 1000%. So annoying. So asinine.
Chillax, Dude. Don’t have a cow, man! Language evolves. The older that we get, the more language evolution we will witness and that’s totally gnarly, imho.
Fuckin’ A!
Ditto.
Annoyance #2:
“Have a great rest of your day.”
“Have a great day” was already too much. What’s wrong with “Good-bye”?
Annoyance #3:
“How’s it goin’?” instead of, say, “Hi,” or “Hello.”
People out walking early in the morning are the most likely to say “Good morning” as they pass by. Hallelujah!
How churlish. Criticizing (behind their backs) people who just want to wish you a good day because it doesn’t comport to your own tight-assed linguistic expectations.
It’s like the old joke:
Mother and son walking along the ocean tide. Huge wave washes ashore and takes the little boy out to sea. A few waves later he materializes, shaken but in good shape.
Mother, looking up to God: “So where’s his hat?”
Some people turn anything into an excuse to bitch.
“Have a good one”
“What does it mean?”
Jesus wept.
To that I say, what the aussies say, or formerly said before they went full North Korean peasant:
“no worries”
Jeez, and some people turn anything into an opportunity to ***bitch*** about other people far beyond the scope of the original comments.
Look in the mirror, old Soul.
And some people bitch about others bitching about their original bitching.
Look in the mirror, Islander.
What about: “How’s it hangin’?”
“How’s it hangin’?” – Zonk

Not as far down as I would prefer.
I assume you are speaking of the unit and not the bits. The bits seem to relish their surrender to gravity.
If we had signatures on CFN , which we don’t , I thought a cute one ,
‘ cause we are all writers , might be ;
” Here’s wishing you lots and lots of cunning linguistics. “
You reminded me why I have zero interest in returning to the East Coast .
You’re just trying to be nice , and they are just getting all butt hurt over trivial details of grammar —
— when their Yankee accent sounds like nails on a chalk board , and basically just sucks.
The phrase driving me insane at the moment is when people say, “I’m just talking out loud, here, but…”
Ummm of course you are. But you mean “thinking out loud.”
I do not like this new stupid trend.
It’s as dumb as people saying “I could care less” instead of “I couldn’t care less.”
Also, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too” should be “You can’t eat your cake and have it too.”
Actually that one goes either way. Eat it or have it, you can’t have both – for long anyway. Regardless, it’s a rather warn out cliché. I had a trumpet instructor WAY back in the day who used to say that all the time and I never could figure out what he meant. Never got all that much from his lessons either. Go figure.
No. You can have it and then eat it. That happens every time. You cannot, however, eat it and still have it. That’s the whole point and I’ll bet that you could not figure its meaning because your trumpet instructor was saying it ass-backwards.
No, you can’t eat it and also have it is what makes sense.
Once eaten, it is gone. Can’t have it. Capisce?
I am sure you mean “Bass ackwards.”
Interesting side note: It was his insistence of this usually-butchered expression that triggered the Uni-bomber’s brother to first recognize him as the author of his published manifesto.
Nope. It is fine the way it is, if you understand it, that is.
This is a good one.
MaryQueen has a good one.
My confession. I wrote that in a post here almost 15 years ago. Take a wild guess who replied to me with a correction.
LOL! That’s good! Can’t possibly imagine who it was.
IMO, nothing is worse than the closing line:
“Thank you for understanding.”
It is gallingly presumptuous on many levels.
It stifles discourse or exchange on many levels.
It has nothing to do with understanding on any level.
It is about you, more than likely, getiing f%^&#d, and that’s all there is to it.
Thanks now, bye
I think you’re getting Q.-like, Beaner. It’s basically a throwaway line to take the place of the more primal, “OK, fuck off now!” Although, I must say, I like that one more, with a little dismissive upside down wave of the fingers for emphasis. Another one of those Brit sayings we should have adopted.
On Bay Street, it was common practice to write a PFO eMail. [Please Fuck Off]
Nope that hippy dippy phrase drives me crazy as well.
Better to say nothing.
Karine Jean-Pierre, when questioned on her party’s stance re trans ‘women in sports, chickened out and said “it’s complicated” and that there were “different sides to it”.
It’s all licking your finger, raising it, and seeing which way the wind is blowing. This never would’ve happened even six months ago. It’s their acknowledgement that the trans madness, that they created, promoted and enforced, isn’t popular with the plebs.
Throughout the election cycle, we’ll see more soft-pedaling and non-committal responses on this and other Woke issues, which will then go back to not only business-as-usual, but ramped up.
She should ask the sage of sanity Keith Obermann.
I find it rather disturbing how certain public figures that consumed this nonsense lack the ability to “soft-pedal” or restrain their emotions on divisive politics or these topics. Cusack, Midler, Meathead, Obermann. They are consumed by partisan rage.
Keith Obermann – EL

It’s Olbermann.
Ellis island officers didn’t even spell it right. No wonder why he harbors such resentment towards authority.
What’s an Olber?
SHE LISTS 12 HUGE COINCIDENCES IN MAUI – GREAT POINTS
bitchuteDOTcom/video/VoeJ3mUqGpfa/
This pretty young woman no doubt makes Edgy edgy.
1) Police chief from Vegas massacre
2) Oprah & Bezos’ properties are unharmed
3) No sirens
4) Land heirs sent home to latchkey and incinerate
5) Turned off the water
6) Exits blockaded
7) Maui to be ran on 100% renewable energy
8) Mayor committed to 2030 Agenda
9) Hawaii is the only state aiming for “sustainability”
10) Blackrock and US Inc. are Maui’s biggest landowners but were constantly rebuffed in their attempts to buy Lahaina
11) Survivors of homes that are still standing are being evicted
12) The fact-checkers calling all of this “coincidence” are owned by Blackrock
“At this point, if you believe that all of these are coincidences, you are the crazy one, not me.”
Lahaina 8/8/23
Zonk I started to watch that video from bitchute you linked. The BS stopped me in the first 30 seconds. I can’t waste my time on that crap. – stelmo
That is a shame. You should not let one bad apple spoil the whole darn bunch, imho.
The first 15 minutes of the video featured much information in an edited collage of many eyewitnesses both of the incineration as well as its subsequent cover-up.
I really wanted your opinion on the aerial picture of the ring of fire surrounding Lahaina but 30 seconds of viewing won’t get us there. Thanks anyways.
I went to the Bitchute! channel on Youtube and it was just a montage of movie scenes where women wait an infuriariting long time before pulling the trigger on an antagonist.
I can see that would be truly ‘infuriariting’.
infuriatingly
You don’t say!
I hope Lara Fyodorovna was in there, preparing to shoot Rod Steiger’s character, whose name momentarily escapes me.
The Bitchute! channel on Youtube, Edgy? That’s kind of like watching the NBC News on Fox.
Bitchute is a video-hosting/-streaming platform. It is a mini-Youtube. I am surprised that there even is a Bitchute! channel on Youtube but that has nothing to do with this particular 15 minutes of edited video [see the time menu that I just posted] that we discuss here.
It is unfortunate that the opening CBS report from nine years derailed you from seeing the eyewitnesses from this month’s “holocaust.”
Also, I wonder if amplification is a key aspect in DEW technology, stelmo. If so, perhaps that Japanese scientist speaking on CBS is more accurate than you allege. Perhaps.
For those interested but pressed for time, here is a time menu:

“Genocide” should not be thrown around casually and misused for emotional effect.
Agreed, Isles, but I do neither vis-a-vis the thousands incinerated at Lahaina.
“I’m as serious as a heart attack.”
A quick Google yields this definition for genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
That is exactly what has happened to the Lahaian people (land-owners and their rightful heirs) on 8/8 and subsequently.
Sad but true.
I noticed you deliberately left out the part where it’s a systematic killing of people of a particular ethnic or national group. What national group were all Lahainans, and how was that fire systematic?
Same ol’ O.G.
Liar liar pants on fire.
I left nothing out, Mare. I copied the Googled definition in its entirety. [Yours is not the only source in town, you know?]
The rightful, incinerated land-owners of Lahaina were of a particular ethnic group, were murdered in large numbers and now that group is successful gone (i.e. genocided).
Again, sad but true.

Liar liar pants on fire.
Good one.

Years and years ago I had to run a donation load to a local charity.
One of the members, dressed smart in business casual, greeted us and helped with the transfer.
It took me about 3 minutes to realize he was crazier than a shithouse rat.
Jesus had a plan for him and I better get with him if I didn’t want to burn and all that.
He had that Sanpaku going on with his eyes: visible whites around 3 dimensions of the eye.
His voice took on a strident harshly declarative tone.
It was awkward, but as most sane normal people know, you just let crazies say the crazy shit they have to say and be done with it.
Zonk is a crazy fucking rat
This is his shithouse
79 people arrested for arson in Greece last week.
The climate crazies are all over.
There is something very rotten about the Maui fires.
Benr what’s rotten about the Lahaina fires are
that they’re trying to abrogate responsibility by blaming them on climate change..
That so much destruction and death resulted from irresponsibility, incompetence, and a lack of procedure
That so many craven opportunists tried to move in on destroyed parcels literally before the smoke had cleared.
That so many unbalanced extremists are trying to blame it on energy weapons and space lasers and microwaves and that famous people (whose property is located nowhere near where the fires occurred) are in on it and escaped harm.
The most depressing aspect of today’s extreme partisan society is not that more and more people have taken more extreme positions on the left or the right, it’s that the people of the rational center are fewer and fewer.
Agree, Edge. I can guarantee you he rocks those Sanpaku eyes like nobody’s business.
And of course, batshit crazy doesn’t know it’s crazy.
There’s a reason O.G. doesn’t like “everyone” calling “everyone they disagree with” crazy (we don’t – we call him and Jarek crazy, because they are).
Sanpaku eye types can’t stand looking in the mirror.
A pleasing joke repeated by Sasha Latypova in her interview with Catherine Austin Fitts …
“Someone said the next covid variant should be named BS 24/7.”
I like that.

Here is something I just became aware of today. Harvard has a new president named Claudine Gay. She’s a clean-cut Black woman of Haitian heritage but born in the Bronx, NY. Her husband is a man (yay!) as white as the driven snow. She attended Harvard Grad School. She’s on the cover of the most current Harvard Magazine.
Claudine’s gay. No really ,she is.
That’s too old fashioned. She is Queer. You can bet on it! It’s a requirement.
They’ll be a new President of Yale appointed soon too.
I fully expect some sexual deviant (flamer, transvestite etc.), Black Nationalist, 3rd World liberation figure … or a combination of all 3.
Sept. 1, temp dipped into the high 40s this morning; definitely a touch autumn in the air. Yesterday afternoon the bright sunlight was translucent & shimmering on Long Island Sound and one could see, a little inland, the first leaves of Autumn drifting to the ground. I was reading more about the ‘Oceans are boiling’ scenario in The Guardian, so I decided to have a look for myself. Turns out the water temp at Madison, Ct yesterday was 72°F, exactly where it’s been on this date since 1913, when records begin. Actually this weekend it’s the warmest the water gets for the year and begins cooling down again. I don’t know maybe the seas are boiling somewhere else but they’re not boiling here.
I suspect they’re not boiling anywhere except perhaps in the fevered minds of the Guardians ‘Climate Change’ propagandists, who never leave their London offices.
I don’t know. I’ve seen a lot of graphics where the oceans are definitely bright red. Maybe even a burgundy char.
Well said, BRH.
Been very cool the past few mornings here as well. I love it.
RIP Joe the plumber who ripped obama a new one.

apparently Feinstein drooled over the bill

SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — The two U.S. senators from California are asking the federal government to provide emergency funding to try and stop constant sewage flows that originate south of the border but end up on the U.S. side and out into the Pacific Ocean contaminating beaches and the coastline.
Earlier this week, Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla asked the Appropriations Committee to include money in a multi-billion dollar emergency bill being drafted to provide disaster relief for the Tijuana River Valley.
The White House is already asking for $40 billion in funding for Ukraine, Maui disaster assistance, and border and immigration issues.
Pump station breaks down allowing more untreated sewage from Mexico into US
Feinstein and Padilla want this package to also include funds to fight the Mexican sewage issue in the San Diego-Tijuana region.
They drafted a letter requesting $310 million to mitigate the problem because sewage from Mexico is “fouling California beaches, degrading U.S. Navy readiness, and harming the health of Customs and Border Protection agents, U.S. Coast Guardsmen, and millions of Americans in Southern California.”
