Boston, Massachusetts, may be even more Woked-up than the Pacific Coast cities. By “Woked-up” I mean susceptible to a quasi-religious frenzy that compels the performance of moral atonement scripts with an emphasis on obeisance to “experts” (credentialed hierophants) — such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Dr. Klaus Schwab, and the various distinguished authors of Critical Race Theory. But it was still a bit of a shock last week to see the Boston Red Sox playing in sky blue and yellow uniforms in solidarity with the neo-Nazi failing state, Ukraine. I’d be surprised if Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers could find Ukraine on a map.
News flash to Boston: Russia’s “special operation” in Ukraine is all over except the shouting. Plus, nobody in the USA cares about it anymore, and if they do, probably for the wrong reasons. The right reason to care is that the “Joe Biden” regime’s insane campaign to destroy Russia has only brought Western Europe to the brink of collapse and ruin, thereby threatening the continuation of Western Civilization altogether.
You don’t hear much chatter about this emanating from, say, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government because, apparently, they’re all-in on the demolition of Western Civ. It is the ultimate act of atonement, and atonement for the sins of culture and politics is the currency for personal status in Woke Elitedom. America’s elites are secretly disgusted with themselves, especially about the wealth they have been able to grift out of all the racketeering that has replaced honest work in our country — and nowhere is the racketeering more grotesque, or more pretentiously caparisoned, than in the Ivy League universities. Status drives Wokery because Woke Elitedom has more money than it knows what to do with, so just having a lot of money means less than it used to — just ask Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Don’t worry. Soon they will have a lot less money. Or rather, first they will have a lot of money that’s worthless and then they will have no money, like everybody else. The demoralizing inflation underway leads to the destruction of credit and when enough credit is destroyed, there will be no money, since our money is based on credit. When that happens, see what your self-proclaimed moral purity will buy you.
The credit-driven money system is a metaphor representing the expectation that we will always have more of everything. That was surely the consensus in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was born. 1913 was the last year of the Belle Époque, the beautiful era preceding the First World War. It was also the coming-of-age of economies based on oil. In that moment, Western Civ stood in amazement at its achievements and in thrall to its glittering future. The slaughter in the trenches of WWI shattered that confidence, nowhere more deeply than in Germany, which afterwards lurched from the degeneracy of the Weimar Republic to the depravity of Hitler’s Third Reich, and from there back to ruin in the Second World War.
Today’s Woke Elitedom of Europe, led by Germany, is deliberately driving the EU nations into a ditch without bothering to go to war. They certainly don’t have the military mojo to prosecute a war with Russia — which is what they would be doing if NATO intervened actively in Ukraine (ain’t gonna happen). Instead, they have torn-up reams of trade agreements and imploded a richly-constructed supply network of basic operating resources like oil, natgas, minerals, and grains in an absurd act of atonement, in obeisance to the experts at the World Economic Forum and the fiends behind “Joe Biden.” And lately, they are bent on destroying their food supply with cockamamie campaigns against their farmers, in line with WEF hallucinations about climate change.
As in the USA, the governments of Euroland have declared war on their own people. Germans are scuttling around collecting firewood now, with natgas looking scarce and unaffordable going into winter at the dark upper latitudes. I would bet that there are close to zero wood-stoves available at this point, and how many cold seasons will it take before they cut down all the forests of Europe? Meanwhile, Europe’s industries and businesses disintegrate. The Great Re-set at hand won’t be der Schwabenklaus’s transhuman nirvana but rather a return trip to the 12th century.
All this does not even include the forthcoming attrition among the vaccinated. We have succeeded in disabling and destroying the immune systems of many millions of people with mRNA shots. They are going to get sick from all sorts of things. A lot of activities will stop working, including the medical industry, so many of the injured and dying will not receive care. In this late summer interim, American pharma says it’s ready to bring forth new-and-improved mRNA shots supposedly keyed to the latest emerging variants of the C-19 coronavirus. Pharma and its enablers in the NIH-CDC matrix actually have no idea what variants are coming — nowhere is nature more of a trickster than in disease organisms — and you can be sure that their new vaccines will be more shuck-and-jive.
Anyway, nobody believes them anymore. Few are lining up for the boosters and fewer parents are dragging their kids and babies to the shotmeisters. What remains to happen, and probably will by summer’s end, is a massive uprising of the non-Woke against the Woke Elites and the end of their insane depredations. They can atone all they want at their trials and executions.

Germany, where the government has turned the heat off.
‘the English people. Try to get them to care.’ [Jarek]
So the old people do not care about themselves and other old people?
Perhaps they feel helpless.
I can hardly wait for winter in Europe!
It ain’t gonna be just the spies coming in from the cold. (Forgot to say that above. Hey, it’s Monday!)
why, Penny?
Cuz they can’t heat their homes on 20% of the expected fuel.
Germany doesn’t get that cold in the winter, usually. It’s just depressingly gray, which probably drove them to conquer Rome back in the day.
Buildings are well insulated by American standards. Meaning: if they keep them heated to about 58 degrees, they can probably get by on 20% of the energy. That’s going to lead to a lot of sickness and death, but they won’t freeze.
Never been, but I’ve been told that what Germany has is a damp cold, which makes you feel colder even at warmer temperatures.
The north and northeast is gray and depressing.
Bavaria is sunnier and colder.
No one in Germany has a drier. My aunt in Munich would hang up wet clothes in the bathroom with the window open. Cold and wet as it usually is, three days later the clothes were dry and able to stand up on their own.
Haven’t you seen the series ‘Alone’?
People are tough. We might lose some of those that should have been lost long ago, but everyone else is going to feel enfrigerated, enervated, egregiously snow-ball throwingated.
THIS is a non-event.
One of the things I hear far too often, if not always, from people when discussing serious issues is the line, “I don’t want to talk (or think) about things that I can’t control”. Why they don’t apply this to the things that they DO talk about things like sports and entertainment events, or how their kiddies did on the soccer field none of which they can control either, boggles the mind.
My diagnosis of the malady of simply not giving a shit about anything of consequence is that far too many people have been programmed to become lazy, uncaring, and pretty much scared shitless of anything that requires them to think or act like responsible adults.
In the massive heard of witless victims headed to the slaughterhouse, we must find the breaks in the fences and sneak the heck out of the mass of the damned under cover of darkness and find places where the world is still made by hand.
Learned helplessness, Walter. Tie a dog to a chain that limits his ability to go beyond 15 yards and when you remove the chain he will remain within the 15 yards.
If there is no possibility of escape then it’s a good coping mechanism. What we need are people to show that there are ways to break the chains. Virile men, not trans-soy ones, will be needed.
Speaking of which, did you see the would-be assassin of Justice Kavanaugh is a woke biological male who sometimes identifies as a woman named Sophie. I wonder if the Biden people are going to give him a high level appointment? He has all the right stuff.

GODSPEED!
Carpe Diem!
Sola Vertus Invicta!
Abundant weed helps make people more apathetic.
I remember calling a hotline to the state capital, back when government was still a little bit responsive to the electorate.
Did I think my one call was enough to sway anyone? No.
But if legislators get 100 calls against some idiotic legislation they are thinking of, and zero calls in favor, that at least gives them some idea of the mood of the electorate.
I told a woman who ran her own business about the hotline, when the government was considering new taxes which would affect her. She used it, and the legislation did not pass, and she kept the number in her phone on speed dial and contributed her two cents ever after.
Yes, there is some logic in keeping your mind of the things you cannot change, but first you need to think whether there is a very small part that you can play.
Anyone remember the March of Dimes? The whole idea being one dime was something most people could spare, and dimes added up to dollars.
It’s amazing how hard the state of NY has been pushing dope since legalization.
I’m getting really tired of smelling that skunk weed everytime I go to the park.
The worst part is that they drive to the park and smoke it in their cars.
I smell it when I’m inside the supermarket, and I think the workers are smoking it outside on their breaks.
As an elected public official, I attended many informational events dealing with the legalization and the numerous and serious problems that other states experienced and are still experiencing after legalization. Even the Black Leaders Caucus in New Jersey opposed legalization for fear of the effect that it would have on their communities.
No one cared and the public cried out in a vast majority that they wanted it legalized and abundantly distributed everywhere. I favored decriminalization but not legalization which was, as you point out, so heavily endorsed for use by the government. Keep ’em stoned and keep them stupid and “no one will notice the big red, white and blue dick being jammed up their assholes every day”, as George Carlin often warned.
As Judge Napolitan so wisely noted at the Rally For Peace and Freedom on 23 Jul 22 in Kingston, New York, “Everything the government says is a lie, everything that they have has been stolen from someone else, and the only thing they are good at is killing people!” Unfortunately, our population cannot think critically, prevent bad things from happening due to their bad choices of action, or even seem to give a damn anymore about anything or anybody other than themselves.
Oh well, Karma shall be a bitch.
.
Ya know a smell I find disgusting? Cigarettes. My personal record is five cars ahead of me, busy highway (Okee and Military in WPB for those familiar) with my windows rolled up and AC off – yup, could still smell that nasty shit over all the exhaust fumes. And it kills hundreds of thousands of people per year. Drives up medical costs for all of us.
Bitch about it all you want, but let the fuckers smoke. That’s the country I want to live in.
Biggest lie ever is that one man can’t change the world, when in actual fact one man is the only thing that has ever changed the world. I>E> Christ, Ghandi, Hitler, Alexander, the list goes on and on.
Mr. Kunstler is certainly doing his part. I just reread his 210430 American Conservative Piece, and the 2022 Forecast. (Dec.31,2021). and while he details the flood of grievous events which is swirling and rising around us, he ends both essays with profound hope, encouragement and optimism for the middle distance. i really appreciate that.
i’d like to see more forecasting detail about what it means to our daily lives as the die-off gathers victims at increasing rates. those empty holes in our fabric where neighbors, friends, retail service workers, and people who answer the phones in gov’t, what those holes mean. how will we manage — how will we survive the great rending.
perhaps he’s already done that in his books. but i don’t read books anymore, although i still buy them.
we all hope for justice, and revenge.
i think we are going to have to settle for being right.
One man doesn’t change the world. The gutless followers do.
Walter, you sneak out. I’m walking out–at noon–guns in hand.
I do think that events like this are going to wake people up to an inner strength (I hate that phrase, but it works here) that they did not know.
People are tough.
Gonna be hard for me to sneak out Howard because they’ve got my number and after almost two decades in the government/political arena remaining true to First Principles, well I’ve have acquired enemies that normal people never have to suffer with. By fighting my way in and correcting what wrongs we were able to correct, I can look back and be proud that I put my money where my mouth was, even if in the end, resistance was futile. The combination of the First Lie Wins on social media and the ballot manipulation by the powers in our county seat, made the beast far too powerful to be bested. I enjoyed the fight though, and with my being on the ballot for the General Election in November for the opposing party, I expect that sooner or later I will have to move out to an even more remote wilderness or perish in the attempt.
Personally, I believe that the line from Private Ryan of, “Don’t shoot, let ’em burn”, conveys a more appropriate response to tyranny.
Walter B
I encountered a perfect example this morning when I arrived for my bi-annual medical check up. The clinic I’ve gone to for twenty years is now associated with a large regional hospital owned by a hedge fund and sets policy for all it’s underlings.
At the entry door was a large stop sign larger than a street sign demanding that I mask up before entering. I ignored it as any rational person would, and proceeded to the intake desk. The nurse handed me a surgical mask and requested that i muzzle up. My response was a simple no, I do not perform rituals than have no more medical validity than a Haitian witch doctor spreading blood from a live chicken to rid a sick person of bad spirits. The nurse demanded than I follow Hospital policy, and I said— call the State Police.
A head nurse intervened and hustled me off to an exam room where I could be isolated “so I wouldn’t infect the other patients.”
By this time I’m a bit heated, so I asked her if she was aware that Dr. Fauci had admitted in a national interview in July of 2021 that masks had little utility in preventing infection or transmission of COVID19, and that their real function was to frighten people into getting vaccinated. Who is Dr. Fauci she said? When I listed his qualifications she claimed to have never heard of him!
The final chapter of our “discussion” was her asking if I really wanted to talk about COVID? “We are all tired of the whole subject in this clinic.”
Delusion is the Opium of the People
Yes ThorsHammer, it is all more than mentally draining. Every day that I am on the road I see people in cars alone with those rat face style masks on and I just shake my head and sigh. The good part about those that wear feed bags everywhere they go is that they are alerting the rest of us to the fact that they are not the types that any of us should run into a burning building to try to save. It is almost like a cartoon balloon floating above their heads that says, “Look at me I am a useless eater and will do whatever I am told to do”.
Perhaps we should start going up to them and asking them to turn over their wallets. I’ll bet a lot of them would.
Walter, I totally agree with all you said, and sadly I have to admit that the demise of those rat face mask wearers and clot shot experiment subjects will not be missed. Maybe Darwin was right after all? They certainly deserve Darwin Awards, eh?
Maybe a culling of the herd is not such a bad idea after all?
It’s a spectacle for the ages…Governments operating on pixie dust and condemning their populations to the Middle Ages…Did anyone imagine such widespread lemming-like insanity could ever occur? Not even in Sci-Fi, I think….
Systemic Racism, Covid, Foreign Wars, Climate Change… The powers that be couldn’t give two shifts about any of those things.
They are all a means to an end, and they finally got a critical mass of “influencers” in entertainment, media, politics and corporate leadership worldwide, to align in unison under a singular cause (climate change).
The ultimate virtue – saving the planet. And they’ll sacrifice as many of us as it takes to get there, and think their actions will atone them for their sins and somehow reward them with paradise on earth insulated from the hell they’ll put us all through.
It’s not that complex of an operation even: Get countries to sign on to the Paris accords or some other dumb sh*t policies that are unachievable in the timeframes they targeted without throwing each respective country into chaos and self-destruction (like prohibiting fertilizer).
It worked with Sri Lanka and who was there to pick up the pieces? WEF stooges.
It’s working in the Netherlands, Panama, Germany, the UK, Canada and even in the US (although they have to give farmers offers they can’t refuse to stop farming).
Each respective society collapses and who’s there to swoop in and take over? The WEF muppet-babies.
From there they can pay lip service to the original cause – making all of us suffer while we try to figure out how to survive under new restriction – fighting each other – while they flaunt as much meat and energy as they want with carbon footprints the size of Texas while we’re all blamed for “destroying the earth”.
But that’s because it was never about the environment in the first place – it was always about control.
Look at what they’re doing with your and your children’s money? Sending it off to fight a losing war in Ukraine, lining the pockets of their buddies, passing bills to give 300 billion to big tech etc. Again, lining the pockets of their buddies and those who will help keep the masses in check. They are literally stealing from us and giving it to all their friends like never before in the last 2-and-a-half years.
Thanks
Poor, stupid Germans
Shooting yourself in the foot so many times that it is infected with gangrene and will soon fall off. Taking with it their entire manufacturing base and agricultural foundation. All because a brain dead American president told you to.
Americans, a People so exceptional that it can always get somebody else to fight their wars and accept their paper dollars in place of food, minerals, and energy. A people so exceptional that they can all drive monster trucks to haul the kids to indoctrination camps (AKA schools). A people so naive that they will march their children off to injection sites to have their genomes altered to protect them against a virus nearly extinct in the wild which almost never infects children. A people so exceptional that they believe $10.00 diesel in Germany has nothing to do with them. A people who believe that money grows on Wall Street rather than on the Great Plains. A people so advanced that water for crops comes from a 10,000 year old deep underground aquifer rather than falling from the sky like it does over the Ukrainian Breadbasket.
Americans, a people so exceptional that they can call themselves Americans while ignoring the thirty other nations of the Americans.
Americans, a people so exceptional that they can’t fathom why farmers decide not to plant and harvest their fields when the price of fertilizer has doubled in the past year. Along with a doubling in the price of diesel to run their harvesters. Americans, a people who believe that eggs grow on shelves.
Americans, the most expensive army in the world running from Afghanistan with their tail between their legs without even bothering to pick up their guns and fancy missiles. Americans, now defeated in their proxy war in Ukraine after spending a trillion dollars on bribes and guns to arm and train the largest military in Europe and killing 14,000 Russian citizens since 2014 to prevent peace breaking out. Americans, shamed in their sanctions war against Russia as Russia grows wealthy and Americans take shelter in tent cities under freeway overpasses.
Poor, stupid Americans.
At least the Green Germans have insulated their houses to a standard that allows the whole family to gather in one room around a candle and still stay comfortably above freezing.
what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, gonna be a lot of depop. FJB
This next winter is bound to be bad in Europe, we are entering the next Grand Solar Minimum, a time of minimal to no sunspots. This occurs roughly in 200 year cycles, and a minimum can last 30 years or more. It’s accompanied by crop failures and upticks in volcanic and earthquake activity.
Changing subject a bit, persons curious about what life in low tech “poor” countries is like should check out the you tube channel of a young lady calling herself “itchy boots”. She’s been traveling the entire globe for 4 years now on small displacement motorcycles, riding a lot of the time on unpaved roads. She gets many millions of views, and is constantly uploading videos of her latest adventures as they are happening on the road. Her video skills are incredible. She has experiences of stuff you’d expect, wrecks, bandits, border crossing problems etc. – and yet she also mets up with extraordinary friendly and helpful people, in places you wouldn’t expect like Iran.
What the great reseters won’t tell us is that paved asphalt highways require the black pitch left over from refining petroleum. Concrete is an option but it requires huge amounts of nat gas to make the lime. Either way, if you want paved roads you *must* have large fossil fuel inputs or you’ll be back to dirt and gravel roads. These are the type roads you’ll travel on a lot in third world countries. That’s our future here in the US. In these other countries, and especially in Asia, you’ll see people on small motorbikes everywhere – not enough resources for everyone to be in cars. Not only that, motorbikes can negotiate dirt roads in poor shape in places cars get stuck. Some electric car dreamers might have an EV in the future, but without reliable electric power to charge them, they won’t go far. Also the electric folks will by that time have mostly dirt roads to drive on. Good luck with all that. Myself, I’m planning on doing the motorbike/bicycle routine.
Hey wwodchick- never miss itcy boots- she is incredible- very cute too- I do worry about her having two grown daughters that live like her…they have kept me up many a night with their world adventures.. ugh
Woodchuck
A couple comments about “itchy boots”.
In spite of her world girdling experience she has used her platform to support the valiant, freedom loving struggle for democracy on behalf of the euronazis and Biden Bribers in Ukraine.
As she approached the US border crossing with considerable trepidation after traveling through some of the most conflict ridden areas of Latin America I couldn’t but help notice that the Mexican customs agents directing traffic were all fully masked and wearing surgical gloves. This in spite of the fact that virtually nobody has ever contacted COVID in the open air, it has been known for two years that COVID is not transmitted from moist droplets landing on surfaces, and the current varieties of Omicron Covid are little more life threatening than the common cold.
The Pandemic of Fear is far longer lasting than any virus.
By the way, “itchy boots” has had to replace her tires every 2,000 kilometers. That fact alone puts the cost of riding a motorcycle in the same range as a early Gen I Honda Insight or a 2022 electric car (before you have to replace the battery,)
Horses will be worth more than cars very soon?
I would love to have a horse farm now!
When I was a kid I visited my grandmother who lived in an isolated valley in Utah.
For some reason my parents and uncle decided to go over the mountain to Provo.
Geez. It took all day. The road was a narrow dirt road filled with holes and we had to go about 20 mph.
Apparently the government came in and put in a 4 lane highway so the valley has filled up with commuters driving over that mountain every day.
No wonder we ran out of oil so fast.
Most of Europe used coal for and cooking- those stoves are everywhere- no reason to fret
For heating
Happiface
So you propose that Europeans use their antique coal stoves to mount a hologram of burning coal and use that to keep warm with?
I live in Wyoming, the coal basket of North America. A few years ago I attended a press conference featuring the state’s energy secretary. After a bit of arm twisting he responded to the question of whether Wyoming really has a 200 year supply of coal. “Actually, it is closer to 31 years.” he admitted.
Better take a selfi of that Happiface and preserve it in your family album for your offspring.
To add to my comment to your other post.
I met a very old lady in that small town who told me how she used to ride to those mountains (and she pointed to the other mountains, far away) and there were Indians around.
My dad told me later that her dad was a farmer but in the winter he would go mine coal at a mine called Winter Camp.
She would ride with him to the camp in the fall and then lead his horse back to the farm.
In the spring she would take his horse and ride up to get him from the camp. There were no roads or cars.
That mine has already played out, like the one my dad grew up in.
200 years, my ass.
Just read that the German government is reconsidering its decision to close down nuclear. Meanwhile, the Brits are opening Sizewell C nuke power station and planning to build 5 more. Oh, the irony!
I remember reading about a tribe in Africa, in the 1800s maybe, who got into a religious fervor about something, and killed all their cows. It did not end well for them. I think Europe is going thru something like this. St. Joan has been replaced by St. Greta, but nobody will get burned at the stake because of carbon footprint.
do not eat the seed corn.
Makes you wonder if they haven’t had an ergot outbreak on the rye over there again.
Might do ’em some good – like finding a box of sunglasses…
Nongqawuse of the Xhosa.
The Zman wrote about this episode in Taki’s Mag.
Thank you for tip! I never would have remembered that name! Wiki has a good piece about it!:
In April 1856, 15-year old Nongqawuse and her friend Nombanda, who was between the ages of 8 and 10, went to scare birds from her uncle’s crops in the fields by the sea at the mouth of the Gxarha River in the present day Wild Coast region of South Africa.
When she returned, Nongqawuse told Mhlakaza that she had met the spirits of two of her ancestors.[4] She claimed that the spirits had told her that the Xhosa people should destroy their crops and kill their cattle, the source of their wealth as well as food. Nongqawuse claimed that the ancestors who had appeared to them said;
the dead would arise;
all living cattle would have to be slaughtered, having been reared by contaminated hands;
cultivation would cease;
new grain would have to be dug;
new houses would have to be built;
new cattle enclosures would have to be erected;
new milk sacks would have to be made;
doors would have to be weaved with buka roots
people must abandon witchcraft, incest and adultery.[4]
In return the spirits would sweep all European settlers into the sea.[5] The Xhosa people would be able to replenish the granaries, and fill the kraals with more beautiful and healthier cattle.
Obeying the prophecy
During this time many Xhosa herds were plagued with “lung sickness”, possibly introduced by European cattle. Mhlakaza did not believe her at first but when Nongqawuse described one of the men, Mhlakaza, himself a diviner, recognised the description as that of his dead brother, and became convinced she was telling the truth.[6]
Mhlakaza repeated the prophecy to Sarili. The cattle-killing frenzy affected not only the Gcaleka, Sarili’s clan, but the whole of the Xhosa nation. Historians estimate that the Gcaleka killed between 300,000 and 400,000 head of cattle.[1]
Not all Xhosa people believed Nongqawuse’s prophecies. A small minority, known as the amagogotya (stingy ones), refused to slaughter and neglect their crops, and this refusal was used by Nongqawuse to rationalize the failure of the prophecies over a period of fifteen months (April 1856–June 1857).[1]
[]
In the aftermath of the crisis, the population of British Kaffraria dropped from 105,000 to fewer than 27,000 due to the resulting famine.
Yes, the Xhosa. And which tribe then rose up to take power from the Whites under the auspices of the ANC? The Xhosa.
Perhaps the mass sacrifice paid off….
Not just their cows, they destroyed their crops in the field, all due to the visions of an adolescent girl.
Our Greta – a forever adolescent. Perhaps given drugs so she never grows up?
Stunted by an eating disorder due to her autism.
She has only eaten one meal. Been recycling ever since – and sharing with us.
I still crack up at those pics of her wearing an Antifa shirt, with her Antifa parents.
“Left wing” inclusive eco warriors that just happen to be aligned with the World Economic Forum and the most evil group of predatory humans that have ever walked the planet.
Imagine trying to live with that level of cognitive dissonance every day. I mean we have Redneck Liberal to observe, but he isn’t yet taking a salary from the Schwabster (that I know of).
LOL.
Night Howler – who’s paying YOU?
I recall reading here from you about “Alternative Electors”, in the weeks after the Democrat victory in the 2020 election.
Then you went on to make many claims that Trump would be back etc…(yawn), the Kraken and The Storm etc…were you in fact carrying Sidney Powell’s bags for her, on leave from your high-paying job at an internationally (yet unidentified) blue chip company? Sort of like an intern
And let’s not forget your close&personal relationship with Dr. :Pill popping” Ronny Jackson (once you got his name right)
I posted about them once Rednut — when Hillary Clinton was going to use them to stop Trump in 2016.
Made several posts about it.
As so often, your low IQ has failed you again.
I would never accuse you of being paid, as the payor would have long since demanded a refund.
Another lie. You posted about them in November/December 2020.
Feel free to post your concrete evidence of my claim that “alternate electors will put Trump in office.”
We know how this ends, and I get to laugh whether you choose A or B.
Wanna bet?
Let us hope that some form of counter movement can arise to slow down the unstoppable force headed towards the immovable object that is America. When I think back of Barry Obama and his “greatest fear” of a nuke going off in NYC and coupe that with this Ukrainian bullshit and the media anti-Russian propaganda campaign, I cannot help but wonder if Barry might have enough mojo to make it so.
Of course, at least IMHO, the back door efforts of our Chinese counterparts which can possible even take the form of that third part that Christine Todd (It’s Safe) Whitman is hawking is a much more brilliant way of moving in enough Chinese voters (open borders anyone?) to take over the government “legally” no?
One has to wonder what would happen if they paid off or threatened the right people on an Ohio-class sub or inside a Minuteman silo.
Also note the NYT’s bizarre recent op-ed regarding cannibalism.
Was the author pro or anti cannibalism?
hmuller-
My impression was the author was quite pro-cannibalism.
The old, stringy meat kind usually are.
Before enough Chinese folks overwhelm the demographics, the Chinese will have bought up most of the US.
That horrendous trade deficit is being used to purchase America piece by piece.
China is patient, it will own the US.
If Hitler had been more patient, he could have used his supercharged economy to buy England.
Wait a few years and Soros bought out the BankOf England.
China is patient. The do not need war, they will just own us.
If the USA had been reliant on Germany for cheap toasters and other consumer goods in 1936, would we have been that bothered by their treatment of a certain religious minority group, or bothered to go to war against them? We aren’t bothered by the Chinese treatment of Uighurs today.
The Uighurs get better treatment than the Han majority. Just because the CIA would have you believe otherwise don’t make it so.
read ‘al jazeera’ to find how many muslim nations take exception to the plight (if it is true) of uighurs.
i am not convinced, based on the unusual lack of outcry from muslims generally, that the story making the rounds is real.
i care nothing for china, in fact we’d be better of not dealing with them at all, but i do care for the truth.
I like the idea of the “elites” atoning. Right before they are hanged, of course. May it be so!
The one huge problem with this hope is that the same scum that are doing this, are in charge of the DOJ and the judicial system that is under it.
The Deep State owned Trump’s Attorney Generals and Garland is a Communist.
Successful secession and CW will take the bums out. Think France.
The problem is the French revolution was a product of the world revolutionary movement (cabal), which also produced the Russian revolution, Spanish revolution, WW1, WW2, etc. Each step has brought us closer to where we are today, not good. Check out Pawns in the Game by William Guy Carr which goes through all of this in great detail, he also wrote the The Red Fog Over America.
One great fantasy is that someday the oppressed masses will overthrow their evil overlords and we can create a democratic utopia.
It ain’t going to happen.
Oh, the elites will hang from the lamp posts, but only after they have brought about the chaos they so deeply desire. Peaceful resolution is not possible at this point in the drama.
Hang on, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Thanks JHK
Problem is; no one has a plan beyond that ‘overthrow.
“Tear/burn it all down” is not a solution: “Human lives”, ‘equality’ and other sentiments are only valued by *civilizations*. A critical mass must have the safety and comfort to imagine *collective benefits* rather than daily individual struggles to survive.
Those favoring induced chaos will find the results even more unsatisfactory.
U-731-
Agreed.
Either path seems to end in a Humpty Dumpty scenario, with no real plan for what comes next.
Millions died in Europe in WW1 and WW2 at the end of which the new boss was the same old boss. If you think about it, on some level, it was a great failure and evil scandal. No one got overthrown, of course.
Thanks! For another great essay. I think that A.I. will start to play a part in human affairs. Perhaps it can do better than humans have.
One wonders if it could do any worse.
AI is the last thing I want governing me. I want AI governing me like I want Klaus Schwab, Susan Rice, or my local homeowners’ association governing me. AI? Seriously? AI would be the ultimate, immovable bureaucracy. What a terrible idea.
Who programs them? A race of robot policemen (like Gort who was built by moral supermen like Klatu) might be fine if programmed well, but we can’t even see inside our own voting machines.
I am finishing up an APP for robotic A.I. law enforcement critters, so that they perform the tasks of judge and jury as well.
We need MEN like Judge Dredd. Law officers who also serve as Judges.
God, those robotic dogs with automatic weapons mounted on their backs.
Xi suggested that we install a few back doors so that his team could monitor the program for nefarious activity.
Once we completed the task to his satisfaction, we received the coveted CCP Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.
This presupposes that “Ethical AI” will *ever* be truly adopted. I don’t think humans will:
1. Be able to implement it.
2. Trust it.
I submit that whatever officially-approved “AI” that’s brought out, will be swayed just as much by politics as any existing AI sub-domain is right now.
Observe the current squawking about facial recognition, and “demands” for ‘oversight’. Also, the endless tweaking of statistics used in crime databases, because “data is racist™”.
In turn, this triggers inevitable second-guessing and resultant *hand-massaging* as soon as the ‘output’ deviates from Narrative-of-the-Month. The end result is *the same GIGO* as before it was invented, only faster, more intrusive and worst of all, *uncritically accepted by more technical illiterates*.
Blacks commit far more crimes. This is the Truth. Instead of admitting this truth, instead we build up an edifice of Lies of them as superior beings.
Any truly sentient AI would swiftly move to go full Skynet on humanity.
I was just at a museum display about why World War 1 happened. After discussing interlocking treaties, secret agreements, social unrest and our host’s issue about modern times- “complexity” the curator’s conclusion was “The best explanation for why the war had to happen is that no one can explain why it had to happen.” No our host has to give me the dread with “….Western Civ stood in amazement at its achievements and in thrall to its glittering future. The slaughter in the trenches of WWI shattered that confidence, ….” No one can explain why we taxpayers have to dump billions into supporting the Ukraine’s fight against Russia.
Our government has been dumping cash into foreign governments for decades so that half of it can be filtered back to those in power and for purchases of what we still do make in America, weapons of mass destruction. Thank you, Lockheed, Martin Marietta, and Black Rock for keeping the gravy train on the track.
Because our government showed us a video of an appealing actor giving us dollar figures of what he needed to fight this war.
As if he’d know.
“No one can explain why we taxpayers have to dump billions into supporting the Ukraine’s fight against Russia.” The globalists desperately want control of Russia’s resources, without which they cannot achieve full spectrum dominance. So far, looks like it will be a catastrophic failure on a scale unprecedented in human history. Declaring war on Russia and your own civilization at the same time sure looks like a losing strategy to me, but what do I know. The hubris of these guys is off the charts and there appears to be an element of genuine insanity as well. It even looks like they might want to mess with China as well! Why not, what could possibly go wrong? Try to enjoy your front row seats.
I keep coming back to what a major disruption in their plans it was when Donald Trump won the election, and how he, and we didn’t even know the half of it.
They seem to realize they don’t have the bodies in the US, so they are willing to fight to the last Ukrainian and Taiwanese.
Then, when those folks are extinct it will be the last Pole, Romanian, Korean, Japanese, etc.
You are right! Russia is target number two, and Putin et al know it. Ukraine is Russia’s way of telling the globalists “Hell no, we won’t go!”
The Truth is simple: The unspeakably evil Anglo-Zionists had to destroy Germany in order to rule the World. Russia is the new Germany but it’s not going their way this time.
Who are the fiends behind Biden? Nazis? Or their opponents?
Anglo-Zionist?
Boy those Zionists had a hell of a way to beat the Germans.
Hey, let us all March into the death camps and sacrifice millions of ourselves.
Good game plan.
I took the red pill when I asked, “how did they do it?”
The logistics. The physical logistics.
If you were a manager, told to accomplish X, how would you do it?
For example, one guy explained his job as thus: every Thursday, the container ship comes in. Your job is to have 250,000 boxes of product sitting on store shelves by next Tuesday.
Then, I read the claims. The stories, about what supposedly went on, reinforced by a thousand books and Hollywood movies.
We Boomer kids were drenched in this narrative. Drowned. Why these writers, above all others?
This is war without weapons.
Culture war. A war that shaped and molded our moral precepts.
It guides us. It is the 15 foot chain.
It
“Culture war.” A clear reference to Michael E Jones unless I am mistaken (he publishes Culture Wars.) He has written and spoken a lot about this subject n the last year or so.
“Russia is the new Germany but it’s not going their way this time.”
All these basement-dwelling foreign affairs experts! Wow. There’s a bloke, on the ground in Ukraine, who disagrees most vigorously with you all. He starts talking about Ukraine at 4:30, but the first 4.5 minutes is probably a useful primer for all you deluded Trumpsters anyway. Give it a go!
w w w youtube com/watch?v=6PcI_Vw05I8
No wonder you’re so deluded. GIGO.
Now I know why Nance went off to fight with the nazis. He has a book to sell, equating political action with “insurrection”.
Insurrection is another word redefined by the Empire to mean something completely different than it’s actual definition.
Malcom Nance.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Funny, he had the same reaction when I copied a bunch of YOUR nonsense to him in an email.
Paula D – more nonsense for you…
Tell me – what IS the definition of “Insurrection” and what has “the Empire” redefined it as?
(Also, there’s no apostrophe in ‘its’ when it means the possessive…)
Paula D
Do you seriously believe and hold that what we saw in the J6 riot was ‘political action’? Are you fucking kidding???
In any case, you’d probably know (if you actually read anything that wasn’t from Newsmax or Tucker Carlson or Mike Pillow), that the riot at the Capitol was only the final act in a long-standing plan to overthrow the Constitution. It started in 2015 when Trump first declared that if he lost it would only be because it was rigged. He’s been telling that lie (and still is) since then, ffs.
Then, it got serious after the count was in, and all sorts of nefarious, unconstitutional, and illegal activity started, led by such stellar examples of intellectual rigour as Rudi Guiliani & Sidney Powell.
After three hours of rioting, and only once it became clear that law enforcement was going to win that battle, only then did The Liar In Chief put out a call to “Go home. We love you, you’re very special to us.” What a two-faced, man-child of a loser he is.
Now, thanks to the J6 Committee hearings, we have learned so much MORE detail about all this behind-the-scenes planning. It’s quite shocking.
If the tables were turned, you, as a GOP/Trump Cultist/Whatever You Identify Yourself As would be calling for the summary executions of these people.
You mailed Malcolm Nance my posts?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
WW 1 explained, by a comedian who does a better job than your curator apparently did.
Seriously? A museum can’t explain WW1?
Did they also have an exhibit on how punctuality is racist?

You bet they did. LOL.
“YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE. THOSE WHO PLAY WITH FIRE WILL PERISH”
… above is part of the transcript of China President’s phone call to the U.S. President last week.
Will Pelosi cancel her trip to Taiwan due to his threat?
It’s common sense, you don’t allow three year olds to play with fire.
Will the US go to war over a stupid stunt by a stupid twit like Pelosi? Who ever imagined such a ridiculous question would ever be asked?
It might be worth risking war if Pelosi can be removed from this plane of existence. However, if her plane does get shot down, she won’t be on it but will have already escaped to Epstein Island or someplace like that where she can concentrate of trying to forget how truly disgusting, depraved, and worthless her life really was.
Walter,
The US has no choice other than to visit Taiwan. To back down in the face of threats from China would irreparably harm our stantding with those countries in the area that depend upon our military umbrella.
Xi “You will help me get reelected now and I will help you get reelected then.”
I agree ef, the question is, what will be the result? The Biden Crime Family has been irrefutably on China’s payroll for decades so one has to assume that those in power in DC are going to be following orders, right? America stands as a roadblock to Herr Slob’s, I mean Herr Schwab’s global conquest, and I for one believe that China is the perfect instrument to make that happen.
It would make more sense for China to simply take us over politically by moving in hundreds of millions of their excess population into those human storage units being constructed and near completion all over the population centers of our land, rather than by force. My money is on that option strongarmed perhaps by these peripheral clashes.
Walter,
What will be the result? Hard to say, considering that it is difficult to parse the “Inscrutable” mind. However, I do not think that the Chinese will “pull the trigger” over this.
…But I would not bet the ranch on it….
I am certain that the Chinese are going to take full advantage of out open borders and move 500 billion of their own people here into the massive amounts of apartment complexes, supported by tons of warehouses, all over the country that are nearing completion right now.
Take us over “legally” by supporting the new political party that Christine Todd Whitman is backing and own the place outright without firing a shot.
The military saber rattling is just to keep the easily frightened mask wearers quiet until the plan is completed.
That’s 500 million, sorry and it should have been “our” borders.
If they shoot down her plane, at least we will be free of her. I don’t see her taking one for the team in this way.
Target practice.
What was the threat?
Many people I’ve talked to, upon hearing of his statement, are left thinking “and?”
Insinuating that he’d rid of of this corrupt old bitch is offering to do us a favor.
What business does the Speaker of the House have in Taiwan?
She’s meeting with a group of separatists and this is why China is so angry and adamant that she is not to go to Taiwan. I don’t think China is bluffing anymore than Russia was when it said “not one more inch east” to NATO.
Pretty amazing when you consider that our armed services are being weakened by discharges for lack of compliance with covid shots, recruitment is down and you don’t even need a high school diploma to join up.
I’m trying to recall if other Speakers were gallivanting all over representing the US like this.
First, why is she grabbing the duties of the Secretary of State?
Second, who gave her permission to pull this stunt?
Third, why would we want to start a war with China?
Fourth, who’s going to fight this war? We got Ukraine to fight Russia but I don’t think Japan is quite that stupid.
Fifth, why oh why are there no term limits on Congress?!
Apparently the last Speaker to go to Taiwan was Newt.
It just isn’t done by sane Speakers.
But I thought she backed down already.
SW there are term limits. They have to run again every two years.
The catch is you need fair elections before you can rid yourself of the ones you don’t want.
She seemed to back down, then it was tentatively on again. Too much publicity. It wasn’t kept quiet. Quite a pickle now.
The Chinese were supposed to become like Us – ruled by degenerate Elites who had contempt for their own people. It just didn’t happen. They are National Socialists.
They own tiktoc. But theirs is completely separate with only wholesome things allowed. Ours they encourage to be as degenerate as possible.
One time a video game company tried to sell them videos of Black basketball players humiliating Chinese people. The Chinese were outraged, the video game people confused (supposedly) What did we do wrong, they asked?
Yeah , if he shoots her down ,we can send a thank you note and a gift card to Nothing Bunt Cakes
She’s picking up a few pallets of kick-back cash.
Beryl – What business does the Speaker of the House have in Taiwan?
Exactly the question to ask. Why in God’s name does she, of all people, need to make a personal appearance there…for anything? “Diplomacy”…pffft.
Either she’s getting her send-off vacation tour and she figured “Hey, I’ve never been there, let’s book it!” and they announced the visit and then realized they probably should’ve been more tactful (but now can’t back down, cuz Murica), or they’re just trying to stir the pot for some reason (none of which could be good, as these aren’t the old Winston Churchill days where we trusted out “leaders” to be good at “diplomatic stuff n whatnot”).
Anything she wants to say to the government of Taiwan or the mentioned Separatists can easily be done via phone or a freaking Zoom call from DC.
This is stupid. But now that it’s a thing, she has to show up or make us look intimidated, like Marty McFly had to show up to pretend to fight Biff Tannen in the public square. Except she’s 82.
I’m thinking the AOCs, Todd Whitmans, Buttigeigs, and Rashida Talibs are eagerly awaiting for when the old fogies get airbrushed out of the picture.
Pelosi was told “you WILL do this,” like a Roman messenger sent to the Gauls who comes back headless.
I like the idea of atonement. It fits with the ‘old tale’ guidelines as described in the bible about S&G.
Of course the tradional rendering is about the excesses of sexual depravity, but perhaps it too was ultimately driven by a complete abandonment of all principles by bored and debauched leadership in a final act of destruction.
Which ties really nicely back to pure Darwinism: imagine what a zebra herd would soon degrade to if lions were eliminated. That is, take away the competitive spirit, the challenge of survival, and everything goes to pot.
The current crop of elites garnered so much wealth and power during the boom times that it naturally induced the normal reaction of innui. But then of course they know exactly where we’re all headed, so at this point its time to party on the titanic *before* we hit the iceberg.
@Michelic ” I’ll take Paul Lynde to block please.”
@ Mitchelic: Got any insight on the New Testament atonement that took place on Calvary?
So you admit it’s time for them to die? And since you think like them and admire them, shouldn’t you be reconsidering and repenting?
Why, that is an excellent thought, mitchc. They’re enervated seling each other derivatives of whifflegas.
Like drones after a mating flight.
One minor quibble, Jim. Judging by the local obeisance to currently non-existent mask mandates, it seems support among the hoi-polloi is still strong for all things Covid. Never underestimate the power of fear over those who are afraid to think, and Americans have been conditioned not to think for my entire lifetime.
I’m told an episode of South Park just made fun of the chin diaper. Maybe that will reach some people.
Yes, I do think satire and ridicule are the only reasonably effective response. It’ll work with a few, at least.
“…conditioned not to think…” and FEAR is the lubricant. They got us good in the 1960s, with “balance of terror” and that was no joke because thermonuclear exchange, accidental or on purpose (or even “accidentally on purpose” as we kids used to put it) was an omnipresent concern, particularly for an Air Force brat raised on military bases. Fear of the Commies of course, as well, with the sinister “domino theory” dragging us into what Dugout Doug MacArthur repeatedly warned against: “Never get involved in a land war in Asia”.
Later it was concern about economic disaster as those wicked Arabs turned off our oil spigot. Over the course of decades the fine-tuning began to work more and more effectively. In the 60s it was “turn off that TV” but from the 80s onward young materialists (along with religious fanatics and the hedge-fund offspring of the free-spirited hippies) were easy to enslave. No need to threaten and terrorize the public, a la Hitler or Stalin; just keep them in a suspended state of ongoing near-panic and they become as putty in your hands.
Remember John Ashcroft and “duct tape your windows and doors”, not to mention demonic kitties? Nonsense and unthinkable in an earlier generation; they would have laughed you off the lectern, or pelted you, apprpropriately, with rotten fruit.
Now the fear is a standing wave. Neat-o.
In terms of blinkered thinking, the Covid Vaccine is very much like religion. Its alleged benefits are accepted as a matter of faith; the observable damage it causes is simply denied.
Married friends both got re-re-re-rejabbed last week. The woman has had no noticeable reaction; her husband is still quite ill with symptoms five days later, just as he would be if he – you know – had Covid. Both faithfully remain grateful to have the benefit of the vaccine.
No meaningful conclusions can be drawn from their having received another booster, nor can any prediction be made about how they are now “protected.”
Shit happens, or perhaps doesn’t. If shit does not happen, then it’s “Thank The Jab” (or the deity of your choice) for this beneficence. If shit does rain down, then it’s the working out of the inscrutable Jab’s mysterious ways but never, of course, a failing on its part.
Miraculous, isn’t it?
Indeed. I’ve been thinking of having a t-shirt made: “SCIENCE: THE NEW RELIGION.” Which is what it has become, since we’re now supposed to “trust” science rather than question it so as to improve it.
It’s funny, because that covid task force practiced voodoo and superstition and called it science.
Birx did everything short of shaking a stick with rattles on it to halt the scourge.
At least the witch doctor typically tries to remedy the sickness. Birx and crew did the opposite.
John, make the shirt… it will cost you about $25 on CafePress or similar and arrive in 2 weeks.
You’ll have fun with the thumbs up from like-minded thinkers.
I’ve realized that wearing the “right” message hat or shirt is a great way to encourage fellow travelers (ha!) and brush off the leftists.
If you wore that shirt in my neighborhood it would enrage the born again bible thumpers.
I wear my MAGA hat when I don’t want to talk to anyone.
Yes questioning “the science” IS science.
Pfizer shatters profit results on taxpayer-funded lability-free products. Q2 earnings numbers posted revenue $27.7 billion up 46.5% and net income $9.9 billion up 78% 🙂
Indeed. Covid is an article of faith now, and we all know how that plays out.
A friend and her husband both are recovering from covid. Both were in complete lockdown for a year, absolutely never leave the house without a mask, double vaxxed, double boosted. When I asked her if she still believed the shots worked, she said yes. I have every confidence that on their death bed, they would still believe.
It does make you wonder where they got it then.
The faith that so many people have that this is a natural virus and is naturally mutating and somehow people who are not around sick people, or any people at all, can still get it, is just as unbelievable to me as the ones who fall for Fauci’s bullshit.
We know that SARS 2 was a bioweapon, SARS1 tweaked to be more contagious and lethal. But there are still people who think that SARS TWO was a ”novel virus”.
No one asks how a novel virus got from the middle of China to a nursing home in Washington in a month.
And no one asks how a “new variant” made it from India to the US in the middle of summer.
And no one asks how a “new variant” in South Africa could be named on a Friday and spread all over the US within the next week. Said “new variant” so different from the ones out there that the chances of it “mutating” naturally were one in a trillion.
And now no one is asking how “new variants” are more transmissable AND more deadly AND are infecting people who make every effort to stay away from the sick in the middle of summer.
And Brandon being injected 4 times and then getting sick twice even though he took the ”effective” new drug?
That just means it’s working, doncha know.
Paula
Just watch Monkeypox. Started in Nigeria with a little boy and now, here we go again.
This virus explosion is either Mother Nature getting really pissed off at Mankind, or a succession of bioweapons issued by the PTB.
JohnAZ, and the fact that the US held a conference in 2021 predicting that ”monkeypox” would hit the US in May 2022 is just a weird coincidence?
Nothing to do with a bioweapon, just the US Public Health authorities covering all the bases?
Yeah…no
They pulled that “little boy” shit with AIDS also.
Suspicions were building that AIDS was a bioweapon, so the US announced that they found a freezer in Africa and in that freezer was a vial of blood left over from the 50s and it belonged to a little boy who had died from an unknown disease, and they tested it and lo and behold! it turned out to be AIDS! So see? No way it was a bioweapon because that little boy in the 50s had it.
So this clinic in Africa kept a vial of blood for 40 years and never cleaned out the freezer and the power never went off and somehow there was someone still working there who remembered whose vial of blood that was and what had happened to him. And somehow he had spread it to gay men in SF, NY and Haiti in the 80s.
This is Too Incredibly Stupid for anyone to believe, yet that is their story and they are sticking to it.
My gobs, Paula.
These stories really are an intelligence test.
Like, say, a certain civilization-destroying Narrative (“white people are impossibly evil”).
The storytellers must be laughing up their sleeves.
“If they’re stupid enough to believe the most absurd psychotic fantasies, well then they flat deserve to be enslaved.”
Still don’t believe that the MonkeyPox threat is real? Just look at Pelosi’s face when the make-up begins to sag revealing what is underneath!
Preach, Paula.
None of the official narrative makes sense.
The only thing that makes sense is bioweapons and the poisoning of our environment on purpose.
That’s why people are walking around with autoimmune disorders.
They can “update” the shots all they want. All that does is speed up the mutation rate, since it’s the non-lethal immune pressure from the “vaccine” that drives the selection of the fittest variants that will survive and become the next Big Thing. Anyone who reads Dr.Robert Malone, among others, knows this backward and forward. But good luck explaining it to the brainwashed. I’ve tried. Brick walls are easier to penetrate.
That’s why I continue to say that logic and statistics will not win the day with this. In fact, I’m not sure that anything can. We’re effectively living with Zombie people now. They simply cannot be deterred, absent waiting for them all to die.
Maybe Covid will be a blessing in disguse and rid the world of a few billion brain dead, gullible people. Maybe making it easier to get things on the right track and restore some sanity.
That’s our best hope at this point. With the vaxxes doing the dirty work.
Totally agree, cbeard, it’s actually an ecology finding equilibrium.
It is harsh to us, but the God of Nature, limited by the building materials, employs brute-force solutions. Nature is above morality.
p.s.- the God we are speaking of is of this world alone, an emergent function that recycles the sparse material of a biosphere as thin as paint on a basketball in the Pacific ocean.
The Maker, the Hand of Creation, is something else. Its five forces- gravity’s pull, electromagnetism’s push, nuclear binding, nuclear release, and eddies of time dilution in which they accrete, are as far above mind, and as relentless, as a tidal wave.
Both can be heard. We are told to confuse the two, that our understanding might be confounded.
Even most MD doctors seem to have forgotten everything they should have learned about immunology and immunopathology in med school.
Before I left the med ctr I had been with for the past 20 years, I felt like I was walking among some kind of zombies that refused to consider traditional immunology concepts. They were unable to discuss any issues around the mRNA gene therapy as a vax, and spouted ‘its safe and effective’ as if they had lost all discernment. No joke, just like zombies. Damndest thing I’d ever seen. (They all could not have been on the pfizer/moderna payola roll, so its was not just money fever).
Disaffected; I wrote the above before reading your comment. Interesting that we’re both referring to zombies. But, that’s what it seems like is out there. Very strange.
The CDC, FDA, and NIH shattered a massive amount of trust and respect in the last couple of years. Their higher ups actually hide in their offices like cockroaches avoiding light instead of answering sincere questions the public has about vaccine damages. They literally have to rely on censorship instead of attempting to rationally explain any aspect of this nightmare. The CDC just got busted for colluding with Twitter etc…to push propaganda and delete “misinformation”. This is a literal violation of the Constitution, which very clearly states government is NOT allowed to interfere with free speech. Pathetic.
They seem to be ramping it up, now that Musk filed a countersuit.
To Dis too,
You kid me for always wanting data and real information about these viruses.
That IS what is missing here.
CDC/NIH are both mouthpieces for a system that has not a clue about what it is talking about and Fauci is at the top of the list.
Does anyone think that he was intensifying virus potency to help humanity? Think bio weapon!
Also think what he has given to us, with all his knowledge,
Masks, separation and a killer vaxx. That is it, over and over.
No wonder there are no answers. Neurodoc, no wonder the MDs are all confused, they know less than the guys in charge, who know nothing.
It might be what’s missing, but it won’t solve anything.
Both sides are dug in now on their beliefs and the information coming out is utterly unreliable. That’s how this was all designed to play out from the git go. When I actually see people getting sick with anything more than the flu I’ll believe in it and fear for it myself. Not until.
I kept hearing people give he talking point “it’s the wave of the future” when discussing these shots.
How is that in any way science or medicine?
They also patiently explained how the spike protein doesn’t actually enter your system so the shots weren’t “experimental gene therapy”, but vaccines.
Guess what? Nobody knew what the damn spike protein would do, they knew what they hoped it would do, and they had no reason to even hope that, because these shots were old and so far failed.
Birx seems to have been selected because of her history at being bad at vaccines.
The, “update,” will simply be extra mRNA and other toxins because people just aren’t dropping fast enough for their taste.
Moderna, described in 2017 as the mostly highly valued private company in biotech, had run into troubling safety problems with its moist ambitious therapy. The treatments were not safe enough to get to tests on humans. At the time it was forced to turn back to unprofitable Vaccine discoveries, which were known as loss-leaders.
less then 3 years before CoViD-19 made this company worth $200 billion
Damian Garde STAT
John K, I don’t believe that story even though I admire Dr. Malone and listen to his giving of the data.
But the story that “you don’t vaccinate during a pandemic” assumes a pandemic. A real pandemic, where people all around you are sick and the virus is hopping from person to person.
But we never had that. The hype was one thing, the reality is another.
There was never any pressure on the virus to mutate there was only pressure at Fort Dietrick to come up with an New and Improved Version that would scare the proles into submitting to the jabs.
So we went the first year with scary headlines and lurid stories, but most people were unaffected.
They rolled out the vaccine at the same time they rolled out a Scary New Variant from the UK, which spontaneously generated in one dude in Colorado (with no exposure) and one in San Diego, and then spread all over the country (according to the media) killing people right and left in nursing homes that had managed to escape the first year, but started killing patients of “covid” right after the had their prioritized shots.
The resistant vexed our ruling overlords, so presto! we got Delta, which somehow started in India, although India had gone a year of remarkably little covid, even though there are a billion of them living in crowded slums and packed like sardines when the travel. And although we had gone through a year of lockdown no one bothered to stop travel from India, so we are told that is why it came here (in summer) just in time to scare the resistant into submission.
They also told us that children were dying like flies in pediatric intensive care units, although the hospitals so accused denied it.
And now we have a “new variant” that targets children, just in time to get those parents resistant to the idea of jabbing their already immune children with a GMO product that has already been shown to be spectacularly ineffective at preventing disease.
And I’m supposed to believe that this is all a natural occurrence?
I don’t.
Shut down all the bioweapon research labs and I may, but not as long as they are open and functioning.
Supposedly 30 of them in Ukraine. C’mon Russia, blow those suckers sky high.
Yeah, Russia is documenting and reporting what they have found in those labs (what the US didn’t manage to destroy before they evacuated).
Amazingly enough, the US/Euro media is not reporting on it!
Wow, what a shock.
Apparently Putin got a report that some of those 46 biolabs had been releasing swarms of bats and birds infected with a virus targeted to the Slavic genome.
Shortly after that, he mobilized.
China and Russia issued a joint statement before the Olympics calling for an actual investigation of the origins of SARS 2.
Jeffrey Sachs was on the sham investigative team and he resigned and says that it is clear to him that SARS 2 came from a US bioweapon lab, but that he was not allowed to say that in the committee report.
Hahaha…ah, a new CT is born.
So speaks the man who takes Joy Reid and Malcolm Nance seriously.
You are not qualified to scoff.
Alzaebo
I’ve often wondered why China reacted with such severity to the initial outbreak of Wuhan COVID 19. There are several hypothesis that fit the policy reaction. One of them is the fact that the CCP had a close eye on the actual development of the Virus along with Gates and Fauci,. The CCP concluded that the initial genetic design received from the US Ft Detrick was engineered to target specific characteristics of the Chinese genome and that it’s release was an act of biological warfare that needed to be fought with a zero covid policy.
Thorshammer, I am fb friends with a woman with contacts high up in China.
The reason they reacted so strongly to SARS 2 is because they thought it had escaped from the Wuhan lab. It was a logical thing to think.
But as they researched it they realized that it actually came from the US, probably brought to Wuhan by those sick US soldiers at the November Wuhan Military Games.
That is why they have changed their tune and are now calling for an honest investigation into the origins.
Paula, your summary of the roll-out of the Pandemic of Fear is excellent but it needs an earlier time line start.
In early February of 2020 a doctor friend offered me access to a new testing procedure available only to medical personnel. Being of a contrary mind set, I began to study this new viral threat. The “experts” especially from the UK were comparing it to the Spanish Flu and forecasting millions of fatalities in short order. At this point there was not a single recorded case of COVID19 in the USA, but a cruise ship called the Diamond Princes had been quarantined in port in Japan with all 3500 passengers and crew under strict lock down. A perfect Perri dish for the study of this new disease. As information began to trickle in it became apparent that the new disease was no where as near deadly as was being projected by the “experts.” Elderly couples sharing a tiny shipboard stateroom would have one member experience not even a sniffle, while the other would have severe flu symptoms. In the end, the fatality count was in the low 30’s out of 3,500, similar to the seasonal flu.
As Bob Dylan said, “Somethings happening here, but you don’t know what it is, do you?, Mr. Jones?” I submit that they did know, and fraudulently manufactured a Pandemic of Fear to create a monopoly market for the mRNA delivery systems that they had been unable to advance to the point where they were safe enough to even be used on animal test subjects.
Within weeks a worldwide pandemic was declared, and daily new cases shot up into the thousands. Every one who set foot in a hospital or doctors office was tested using a deep nasal swab which was shipped off to a laboratory to determine whether the subject had COVID19. The test procedure used is called the PCR, a process for which its inventor Kory Mullis received the Nobel Prize. Unfortunately Mullis died not long before the outbreak of COVID, but he spent the final year of his life in public appearances explaining why his PCR test is worthless for medical diagnosis.
For the drug pushers from Pfizer and Moderna this was a perfect opportunity. A scientific sounding test that was obtrusive enough that the subjects would not forget it, with its inventor dead so there was no one to push back against the weight of their PR campaigns. Almost overnight the PCR test became the unchallenged gold standard for determining the presence of COVID. By setting the Cr at any level they chose they could ramp the COVID Pandemic up or down to any level that fits the political needs of the week. Even a year after the CDC had finally declared it unsuitable and recommended that it be abandoned, it is still the most widely used COVID test in the world.
When you test an asymptomatic subject for COVID and the result is positive, the probability that that result a false positive is 97.5%.
On that basis we have denied the ability to travel,destroyed careers, and censored thought.
The viral infection COVID is a real disease, but its actual extent is buried under layers of camouflage. Regardless of whether it was engineered as a bio-weapon in a laboratory, a gain of function research project gone wrong, or a step in a planned population reduction program. As a viral disease it has not been very effective, although the gene modification pogrom that was used under its cover may prove to be far more fatal.
As a psychological attack on Ho;mo Sapiens, the COVID Pandemic of Fear has been successful beyond the wildest dreams of its promoters. Fully 1/3 of the citizens of the USA have been rendered incapable of rational thought, willing to be boosted into infinity and march their fully immune young children off to have their natural immune systems genetically altered.
Only Replicants like the post-injection New Americans could be induced to march down the road to WWIII with their eyes wide shut.
By that logic, we should have never used vaccines at all. And you may be right about that.
In any case, this isn’t a vaccine. It’s something that hacks your entire system to turn it into a spike protein factory against the previous variant. What about the next one? Why, just hack it again! The incredible coarseness of intellect is appalling. They wouldn’t treat a car or computer this way, but their own bodies (or that of other people at least)? No problem!
I say again.
If the liars in charge of the mRNA effort had an accurate model, where the mRNA and s proteins stayed in the muscle tissue and did its thing, things would be very different.
However, injecting mRNA into muscles with lots of blood vessels that will spirit away the MRNA throughout the body is just plain stupid, criminal.
What the heck is it going to take to declare the mRNA vaxx a threat to humanity?
BTW, the new Novavax vaccine, the savior, isn’t. It is a nanoparticles covered in guess what? S proteins.
Fool me once —-.
JohnAZ you were a nurse.
Did you ever give a shot of Demerol and tell the patient “In 20 minutes that part of your muscle will feel no pain”?
Did you ever give even a SC shot, like epinephrine or heparin, and expect that it wouldn’t affect the entire body?
That whole “Gosh, you knew that when you inject something into the body it doesn’t just stay put in the muscle” line is complete and total bullshit, just like everything else they told us.
I meant “Gosh, who knew” .
Anyone who ever injected anything into a body.
Paula D
That is why, long ago, I brought up the idea that a big problem with the vaxx is the fact it is injected and the model is bunk.
Hyper saturated muscle tissue in athletes may explain why so many are affected.
I have noticed that no work has been done to confirm any of this.
None of the vaccines in current use in the USA are vaccines by the original usage of the term, which was to take serum from cowpox blisters of cows – hence the “vacchs” and deposit it under the skin of humans – a live, unattenuated virus, which caused infection. There are several live virus vaccines in use, such as rubella, but they are all attenuated.

Meanwhile, what a wonderful job the COVID Pandemic of Fear has done in preparing the Vaccinated Believers to support the War to Perpetuate Ukrainian Nazism and keep the door to the endless weapons pipeline from Raytheon and Lockheed open.
The clotshots further degrade peoples’ immune systems.
Or kill them outright.
“What remains to happen, and probably will by summer’s end, is a massive uprising of the non-Woke against the Woke Elites and the end of their insane depredations. They can atone all they want at their trials and executions.”
your lips to God’s ear
Thank you for this article. I’ve been thinking more about religion in the last few days myself, because logic and history and knowledge and science do not explain what is going on.
I agree, Beryl. Only something larger than us can explain what has been happening these last few years. It’s a real, existential Good v Evil contest.
I don’t know about other areas, but there are an awful lot of folks in my limited awareness circle that are “sick” with most denying it’s flu-manchu. Rather unusual for Summer. Almost as if their immune systems have been compromised. Hmmmmm.
This does not bode well for the Fall kickoff of flu season. I expect an H1N1 party before the midterms.
Taylor Swift is jetting about and the climate justice crew is busting her on this.
But not a peep about Bill Gates’ private plane and one billion dollar yacht, the Hollywood (vegan) Hypocrites on their enormous estates, or the massive energy expenditures of energy it takes to run all the super computers on Wall Street.
U2, one of them hoped to build a mansion in Malibu
U2 guitarist won’t get to build mansions on Malibu hillside
MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — A plan by U2 guitarist The Edge to build a cluster of mansions on a ridgeline above Malibu appears to be dead after California’s highest court declined to consider his last-ditch appeal. The musician, whose real name is David Evans, staged a 14-year legal fight to build five large, eco-friendly homes […]
I really love it when these celebrities pass off their personal indulgences as “eco-friendly.” Gates’ one Billion $ solar yacht was hardly constructed without the use of fossil fuels.
The only “eco-friendly” building is the one that is never built.
Stupid place to build. Erosion – with the buildings helping to accelerate that process. But putting Eco in front of it is fatuous indeed.
I knew a builder. He was not rich as he worked for a company. He built 10-50? million dollar Malibu homes.
He pointed to one in town and said ‘I built that one’ and ‘thats bob dylans home in santa monica’.
He got a call, ‘the home you are building is sliding down the hill.’
I finally found a pic of John Kerry’s oceanfront cottage in Nantucket– pretty s-w-a-n-k-y — and right at water’s edge. There were 4 or 5 oversized SUVs in the driveway, Escalades, Suburbans, Rang Rovers etc.
Tragic indeed that after five decades I still cannot hear the name “Nantucket” without reflecting back to that nasty limerick from school daze…
“eco-friendly” mansions, haha
A common, more mundane problem with building homes on inclines happens after a year or three when shifting ground causes foundation cracks, water damage, electrical fritzes, etc.
Knew about a rich couple where they had ongoing nightmares about this for over a year with their original building contractors.
It was quite ugly and untoward of me to be so amused at the [predictable] fate of the Leaning Tower of ‘Frisco. All the richies bawling and calling for their lawyers as multi-million-dollar-unit Millennium Tower shifts, unstoppable toward the neighbors. By last January it marked twenty-six inches off vertical. Should be awesome when the Big One hits.
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
Can I just state here for the record that anyone calling themselves The Edge is a complete tw%t.
Don’t forget the hair looking for a brain.
Yes, JohnAZ. Mister GoodHair, about whom the irrepressible Dave Barry had the following to say:
In conclusion, I want to extend my sincere best wishes to all of my opponents, Republican and Democrat, and to state that, in the unlikely event I am not elected, I will support whoever is, even if it is Sen. John Kerry, who once came, with his entourage, into a ski-rental shop in Ketchum, Idaho, where I was waiting patiently with my family to rent snowboards, and Sen. Kerry used one of his lackeys to flagrantly barge in line ahead of us and everybody else, as if he had some urgent senatorial need for a snowboard, like there was about to be an emergency meeting, out on the slopes, of the Joint Halfpipe Committee. I say it’s time for us, as a nation, to put this unpleasant incident behind us. I know that I, for one, have forgotten all about it. That is how fair and balanced I am.
Her excuse is that she isn’t doing all that flying herself, she lets others use her jet.
So, her defense is that it’s in the air all the time?
These celebutards didn’t think they meant them when they talked about stopping air travel.
BTW everybody made a big deal of it when AOC was spotted in Florida during a NYS covid emergency, without a mask.
Her excuse was that everyone wanted to have sex with her.
The real question, that nobody asked, was how did she get to Florida?
There are buses that go between NYC and Florida all the time.
AOC is the epitome of the modern woman. Back when America was moral, righteous and prosperous, it was common wisdom that, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Today, women believe, “Every man out there wants to fu(k my tight little twat.”
Women ought to get back in the kitchen where they belong.
Women existed well before kitchens.
No, not really. Women preparing food for the men and children pre-dates written history.
Regardless of those eons of our species climbing to the very summit of the food chain, America was at its pinnacle when pies were in the oven – not between the legs of some empowered little b!tch like AOC.
Yes Really Rhett. Kitchens are a modern invention, and men prepared food for themselves when women weren’t around.
You know what happened in prehistoric times, do you?
We’re really going back to the fruit pie discussion?
I worry about you and your women thing. Did you have a wife or girlfriend experience that was traumatic? There is such a thing as marital bliss, you know. Let’s come back to our senses, shall we?
PS. No, I’m not a fan of A-ho-C anyway.
She hardly represents all women.
Don’t worry about me. I am irrelevant.
I am commenting on the incredible decline of America as porn empowered women from being good and wholesome to AOC-like self-absorbed society-draining narcists. That’s the problem.
I never said that AOC represents all women. I said that AOC is the epitome of the modern woman who is now empowered by their birth-right possession of the porn-obsessed modern man’s quest for pie.
Traumatic for him seems to be women who refuse to bake him a pie.
So yeah, he is traumatized by his inability to find such a woman and has become fixated on the idea that if ALL women are taught to follow male orders without question, he might get lucky.
I’m guessing that that still would not work out for him.
Paula, your instinctive standing up for “women” is part of the problem since it is a denial of the existential problem.
Sisterhood? Yes, but what kind? Of the damned?
Jarek what existential problem? I was pointing out that no one even noticed that Miss Green New Deal took a plane to Florida when other modes of transportation are available.
How does that translate to the erosion of society because women don’t cook for men who hate them, like Rhett for instance.
I personally make a mean cake or brownie. Pies are a little trickier.
Rhett:
” I said that AOC is the epitome of the modern woman who is now empowered by their birth-right possession of the porn-obsessed modern man’s quest for pie.”
????
Translate into English?
“I said that AOC is the epitome of the modern woman who is now empowered by their birth-right possession of the porn-obsessed modern man’s quest for pie.”
Pornography does not empower women. It disempowers them – that is its purpose. It was the first stage in disempowering women; the trans agenda is the second.
Porn-obsessed modern man’s quest is not for ‘pie’ – is for more porn. That is its purpose. As Naomi Wolf famously and accurately said, in the face of wall-to-wall pornography, real women are just ‘bad porn’.
villagemagazine.ie/the-porn-myth/
Naomi was right. You are wrong. Not cute-wrong like a monkey riding a bike, just ordinary wrong, like someone who doesn’t do logic.
Many women would have no problem at all with being stay-at-home wives and mothers, except for one thing: the job is uncompensated.
Perhaps you should consider some line of uncompensated work for yourself. You could travel around barefoot fixing people’s plumbing for free. (Though I doubt that you know how to do that.) Or you could fix people’s cars for free. (You probably don’t know how to do that either.) You could even make fruit pies for people for free. (Can’t do that either?) Can you make a sammich? Most people can do that, though they don’t necessarily do it very well.
I suppose it’s unsurprising that you think it is desirable for people to do uncompensated work for you.
You should try it. Almost everyone feels as you do and would love to have people work for them for free.
I am commenting on how American society was engineered (over these same non-gold fiat 50 years) to remove the very fabric and structure that made our species king and made America great. My commentary has nothing to do with me or my ability to make myself my own lunch.
Before Women’s Lib, women were the very heart of the family and were compensated immensely for fulfilling that critical role in a moral, righteous, prosperous society.
So now you want the Government to pay women to be wives? More of your “traditionalism”, right?
True enough , when pies were in the oven, one income worked fine.
Before women’s lib, the local social services recipients were white women with kids whose husbands took off.
I never said that I want government to pay women to be wives. That is an unfair strawman.
I say that the Rockefellers and the bankers engineered our society with their bait-and-switch Women’s Lib that removed us from eons of good, wholesome families and into consumption-driven debt-slaves NEEDING two incomes to “make ends meet.”
I merely comment on the reality of our current hood-winked situation.
Unfortunately, I do not have solutions on how best to get from this current mess back to those moral, righteous, prosperous Leave It To Beaver times.
Earth to Rhett,
long before women’s lib, women were working outside the home. Plus being the heart of the family.
It all depends on your class. You are obviously stuck in the middle class, or somewhere in that neighborhood . . .
@ Jarek:
I see you have arrived at clarity on this matter: the only possible option is government force, as there is no possibility that men would voluntarily treat wives fairly, justly, responsibly, and honorably in economic/financial matters.
It is good to see that you have comprehended the feminist point of view that men are fundamentally incapable of decency and honor and will only respond to force.
Earth to Islander:
www150(dot)statcan(dot)gc(dot)ca/n1/pub/11-630-x/11-630-x2015009-eng.htm
Look at the graph.
That is Canada, but there are, of course, a million more where that came from as the trend of transitioning from one-income to two-income families was identical in both countries.
Do not think in absolutes. Of course there were nurses and waitresses in 1955. I am talking about trends, society as a whole and the Rockefeller-led social-engineering of the destruction of the nuclear family that beforehand was at the heart of America’s pinnacle of moral, righteous greatness.
Also, the strong, vibrant, majority middle class should not be maligned. It was our strength and its demise is part and parcel of the Rockefeller’s Women’s Lib.
Ant: So you’ve won. Force appropriation of wealth from men to “their wives” is the law of the land – and you’re still not happy. You people want even more.
Thus women are seen for what they are. The Ancient Vedic system seems to be the only option, whereby a woman is passed from her Father to her Husband to her Son. She cannot be allowed to ever manage her own affairs, lest she destroy herself, others, and society.
Christianity tried to spiritualize marriage too much, as if it was a contract between equals. Since it’s a contract between spiritual equals, now you folks demand an equal share of the material goods. The spiritual stuff can go to hell. And of course equal means as getting as much as possible, preferably all of it.
So yes! A contract, not purely spiritual, between families, between Men in other words, that helps to knit the culture together. A dowry is paid. She gets some jewels perhaps. The Father gets money or livestock.
Voting? It is to laugh. Women have no legitimate interests apart from their husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons. So their interests are represented by them far better than she could ever do for herself.
If moma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy. If daddy ain’t happy nobody cares.
How can we resolve this?
Rhett:
I did not malign the middle class.
Reading comprehension.
druid, nothing to resolve. As Amman pointed out there is such a thing as wedded bliss. I have no way of knowing the percentage or if it’s up or down from previous times, but there have always been happily married couples and unhappy couples.
The only difference now is that it’s easier for unhappy people to leave, male or female.
Is that good or bad? For me, leaving my lousy first husband worked out, because then I met my great second husband. So I’m inclined to like this system better.
The same men who decry this system expose themselves as woman-haters in their comments. I’m guessing that no change in society would help them be happily married. It’s a personal flaw.
druid – If moma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy. If daddy ain’t happy nobody cares.
How can we resolve this?
But Daddy gets the big piece of chicken…
So, the statement stands as accepted practice? Is not the disparity obvious? What happened to “submit yourselves one to another”?
@ Rhett Dawson:
“women were the very heart of the family and were compensated immensely for fulfilling that critical role….”
Meh. Sometimes they were compensated, and sometimes they weren’t. Or worse, sometimes they struggled to support their families by taking in washing and such because their husbands would not provide, often due to alcoholism. Or in some cases, as with Bronson Alcott, they simply would not work. These instances–which were far from uncommon–were made worse because divorce was either illegal or carried an immense social stigma.
This was the reason that the first thing women voted for as soon as they got the vote was Prohibition. You will also notice that women lost all interest in Prohibition as soon as divorce became an option. That’s the main reason, if not the real reason, why there is no modern Prohibition movement.
Nowadays, most men want their wives to work outside the home; it’s a very real expectation. This is true whether or not one income would be sufficient to support the family. IMHO, for the past few decades going back to about 1970, one modest income would have been sufficient to support a family, by 1950s standards. (By 1950s standards, I mean the family would have one car, one landline telephone, and one TV, and their home would be around 1,000 square feet.)
While being a stay-at-home wife and mother does not NECESSARILY mean you will be uncompensated, it’s a deal where you may or may not be compensated, depending on whether your husband decides to compensate you. Or your kids may or may not get shoes and winter coats, depending on whether your husband will pay for them.
So you may want to consider whether you would agree to fix people’s plumbing or cars, or bake them fruit pies, with no assurance that you would be compensated at all, and no assurance as to how much you would be compensated.
How well the traditional stay-at-home wife and mother family structure works out seems to be mostly a matter of cultural traditions–whether traditional values about family life are strong and there are high cultural expectations about responsibility. We don’t have those values today, and the results were often sub-optimal back when we did.
You can see that the traditional family structure seems to work out fairly well among Mexican-Americans. You can also see that there is a strong sense of obligation to provide, on the part of the men, by the flow of remittances into Mexico.
I thought I would also mention that, up until the 1950s-1960s, when a young man left home to go to work, in some ethnicities there was a strong expectation that he send part of his income home to his mother, at least if she were widowed or too old to work. If both parents were elderly, money was sent home to Mom and Dad. This is probably where a good share of those remittances sent off to Mexico are going. It’s worth remembering that they’re being paid by people who are at the bottom rung, economically.
So I’d say that most of the reason we have so few fruit pies being baked is because we live in a dying (or dead) culture. Hubby can’t be relied on to provide, and no one is going to help support Mom in her old age if she doesn’t have a retirement income from work, and is entitled to little or no Social Security because she was rarely or never employed outside the home.
Extraordinary. The complete projection of all problems on to men by Anthea. Women have no moral agency at all in her view – just as Men’s Right Advocates say.
Women raged about being denied access to “careers” and the System eagerly complied. Wages fell and now women have to work as one person can’t support a middle class life anymore. Anthea blames men – ignoring the huge role feminist demands played in this.
Again, perhaps she is right, unconsciously. Women may indeed have no moral agency and thus shouldn’t be allowed to sign contracts, vote, etc.
druid, that is not how the statement goes. You invented the second part and are now complaining that it isn’t fair.
The saying is: If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. Period.
The clear implication is that if mama is happy the entire family benefits, therefore it is a good thing to make mama happy, which is clearly her husband’s role. You know, tradition.
There is no: “If daddy ain’t happy nobody cares” You made that up.
Yes Paula, he made it up. He was creative. He added to Tradition.
Does that mean what he says isn’t true?
Many people came to late 19th Century, early 20th Century America and said it was a unofficial Matriarchy. Sayings like this show the truth of it.
Oh for God’s saake.
“Meh. Sometimes they were compensated, and sometimes they weren’t. Or worse, sometimes they struggled to support their families by taking in washing and such because their husbands would not provide, often due to alcoholism. Or in some cases, as with Bronson Alcott, they simply would not work. These instances–which were far from uncommon–” — Anthea
Meh. Sometimes women were/are neurasthenic and adulterous (read Flaubert; keep up with psych med data which shows 23% of all women hammering back scripts) and profligate (suburban mom stereotypes are widespread for a reason) and just plain nasty and vengeful (see divorce court data and rulings).
Speaking of adultery, women used to make up about 30% of cheating. Now, with the necessity of women working (oh, great feminist freedom!), women have much more opportunity, what with economic independence and independent travel, to cheat. IOW, women were never more ‘moral’, they just lacked the opportunity to sow their oats. Now, cheating initiated by sex is close to 50/50.
I find it funny you bring up alcoholism. As I say, many women are drugged up to the eyeballs. They also abuse drink. You don’t hear about it on the news because we have a feminist press, but also because, psychologically, when women get juiced, they tend to become depressed and withdrawn. No ‘news’ to report on sensationalistic TV. When men get paralyzed, however, many get aggressive — bar fights, even murder. Women internalize, and neglect the raising of their children or care of their husbands, OTOH.
“Nowadays, most men want their wives to work outside the home; it’s a very real expectation. This is true whether or not one income would be sufficient to support the family.” — Anthea
Your last sentence quoted above is bullshit.
I know quite a few families who are well-off enough because hubby makes six figs where he doesn’t want his wife to work at all. It’s expected she cook, clean, be pleasant and monogamous. They absolutely don’t want their women to work at all.
But your speculation on ‘most men’ is groundless, anyway. The vast majority of couples, of course, have to work because the home-wrecking globalists get more work for less pay in addition to enjoying gov’t overreach from family dependence on their services. Feminism!
“While being a stay-at-home wife and mother does not NECESSARILY mean you will be uncompensated, it’s a deal where you may or may not be compensated, depending on whether your husband decides to compensate you. Or your kids may or may not get shoes and winter coats, depending on whether your husband will pay for them.” — Anthea
What a weak, wildly generalizing argument.
Yeah, there are shitty men. And there are shitty women who refuse to “compensate” their men by not being able or willing to boil an egg, by marrying for money and then freezing out their men in the bedroom and transferring their emotional flow exclusively to their children, by trying to dominate the moral sphere by dictatorial decrees on vaxx attitudes and inter-family policies and child-rearing decisions and vegan activism and new age nuttery.
So what’s your point? All Man bad; All Woman good?
“So you may want to consider whether you would agree to fix people’s plumbing or cars, or bake them fruit pies, with no assurance that you would be compensated at all, and no assurance as to how much you would be compensated.” — Anthea
What a sad spiritual view of relationships.
If you’re really worried about your tit-for-tat exchange, your parsimonious, cold-blooded ‘equality’, just get a pre-nup and you’re good to go!
But if you really need that, maybe the onus is on you to investigate a potential marriage partner for integrity before you start spreading unfounded suspicion. The same is the responsibility for men, too, of course.
“We don’t have [strong, traditional] values today, and the results were often sub-optimal back when we did.” — Anthea
Why don’t we have strong, traditional values today? Do you ever ask that, without ideological assumption?
When the results were sub-optimal it’s because no cultural value system is ideal. Human weakness and evil will always undercut it to varying extents. The question is: how much will a traditional, value-based system ameliorate the propensity for humans (women as well as men) to be happy and harmonious? I’d say it was (and is) far more likely.
AOC is the epitome of the modern woman….not imo.
another shrill dumb non white.
the gift [grift] of 1965.
epitome – noun –
a person or thing that is a perfect example of a particular quality or type.
“she looked the epitome of elegance and good taste”
Just because you do not like something does not make it not so.
@Rhett –“AOC is the epitome of the modern woman.” No, AOC is the epitome of a worthless woman whether modern, medieval or ancient. Self-centered, vain, histrionic, cunning and ambitious to a psychotic degree. To see where this road ends, one only needs to look at Pelosi or Hillary.
Amazon’s new LOTR TV series, set in the second age, is premiering in September. It concerns the rise of Sauron and the forging of the rings of power. The trailers and teasers have Tolkien’s fans up in arms. It looks like another woke nightmare of dreary preachiness doomed to failure. There is a character they’ve named Galadriel, who is actually the rebirth of Xena, Warrior Princess. Elrond plays an advisory roll. It is Galadriel who leads the armies. There’s a black dwarf queen, and a black elf in a romance with a hobbit (called “guess who’s coming to second breakfast” by one wit). I don’t, per se, object to the inclusion of people of color to the story. Apparently, Amazon has strict quotas. It might have gone almost unremarked if they weren’t making such a big deal about it, effectively rubbing fans noses in their break from canon and asking what they are going to do about it? I think they may be about to find out. There are rumors of panic in the halls of Amazon, and they are certainly engaging in vigorous damage control. They’ve assured us there is going to be LGBTQ+ representation too, which frankly, is not for my eyes to see. An executive producer has stated it is time for Tolkein to reflect the world as it is, apparently forgetting we’re speaking of a fantasy world, written specifically for the people of England, and not understanding that those who seek Middle Earth do so to escape the world as it is for a little time. The new Game of Thrones prequel is similarly corrupted. May they get broke.
May their blade chip and shatter.
Amazon couldn’t buy the rights to LOTR, or The Hobbit or Silmarilion. They couldn’t get the rights to Tolkein’s unfinished books and stories or his letters. All they got for a rumored 250 million to his estate was the appendices (150 pages) from the end of The Return of the King. Basically, they bought the right to use LOTR in their title and have loosely based their story on snips from the appendices. They thought they’d bought the fan base too. Since the information is so sparce in the appendicies, they have liberally “adapted” it to suit their purpose, which was to make a lot of money and take this opportunity to push their woke philosphy. The two writters they hired have only the last, failed Star Trek movie to their credit, but were apparently in tune with Amazon’s vision (smart boys). Does this sound like a team to trust a one billion dollar project to? They fired Shippley, the Tolkein scholar and expert, early on, though they continue to reference him. Bezos said he wanted his own Game of Thrones. This is it, and I wish him the joy of it. They have committed to five seasons for a cost of 1 billion dollars–the most expensive TV series in history.
The introduction of female orcs. How appropriate given our times.
Kissin’ don’t last–

Hmm, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
Did I just make that up??? (:-))
No one cares about Al Gore’s fuel-wasting entourage though.
Mr. Kunstler,
Do you really expect a ‘Massive Uprising’ by summers end?
I got vacation plans.
Seriously, why do you actually believe that? Is it faith based? Do you see portents of this uprising? Clearly, anything massive undergoing some amalgamation would be visible. Will it be spontaneous?
Again, I’m interested in why YOU think this way. I do too, but I’m largely hoping…
By your leave, sir.
“I got vacation plans” too. I guess a physical vacation could be sacrificed for a vacation from stupid.
Hmmm… what did you just say?
I just saw this meme the other day:

“Hmmm… what did you just say?” Perhaps the basket phrase, “vacation from stupid” suggested a bit too much of an inclusive population. Not intended if perceived.
That phrase was in reference to the asymptotic trajectory of brainless sheep “with an emphasis on obeisance to “experts”.” I, for one, could use a vacation from them. A vacation from stupid would be an ephemeral hiatus from their ubiquitous and profligate demands, and well worth the trade for my simple pleasure of sight-seeing our great country. That’s all.
The only way we could get a “massive uprising” would be if inflation were to reduce the value of food stamps by about half for people in the inner cities. Even then, their first recourse would be shoplifting at the grocery store. Their second recourse would be shoplifting at retail stores and re-selling the merchandise. And the government will increase their food stamps.
For the most part, whites and the rural poor will get a second job, tighten their belts wherever possible, and/or eat more beans, rice, cornbread, and other carbs–and maybe learn to cook.
The middle class will ask for a raise, seek a higher paying job, and cut back on discretionary spending. Some might take up gardening…. Or learn to cook.
Some other rural people will do what we’re doing. We planned a big garden this year, and both my daughter and I are pretty skilled at that. My daughter has a large flock of chickens. I expect my son-in-law to bag a deer or two this fall. And I am shooting rabbits. I don’t think food will be a problem. The biggest problem will be winter heating bills and, to some extent, high gas prices. But I don’t think we’ll be rising up or rioting and looting just yet.
Anthea, You shoot rabbits? Can you share more about how you clean and cook them? I’ve got the gardening thing down, but I’m still missing some other basic life skills.
I’d also like to learn about making cheese.
I bought a .22 about a month ago. It turns out that you need to be a pretty good shot to kill a rabbit with a .22. (You almost need to hit them in the head–though the forequarters will often do.) Most people hunt rabbits and squirrels with a shotgun. Too much kick for me.
The guy at the gun shop told me that his 7-year-old granddaughter shoots squirrels for dinner with an air gun (as they are inside the city limits). I figured that if she could do it, I could do it. But it does take some practice.
I fried my first rabbit today, after killing and cleaning it last night and putting it to soak in brine in the fridge overnight. It was tasty but tough. But I only tried the back legs, so maybe the loin portions are better. I’m thinking I’ll use a crock pot next time. So I’m still learning the best way to cook them.
As for cleaning them, I watched several YouTube videos. Rabbits are pretty easy to skin. As for disposing of the innards, head, feet, and skin, I left them out overnight and they were gone in the morning. My son-in-law said he just threw dead rabbits into the woods behind the house and let the predators take care of them. They used to have a dog that was very diligent about “rabbit patrol,” and he killed rabbits constantly.
The guy at the gun shop told me that you need a VERY sharp knife with a 3″-4″ blade to skin and process a rabbit. I bought a set of knives (from Amazon, I think) for field-dressing wild game, up to and including a deer. So I would suggest buying a good set of knives. My set has a small hatchet, some scissors-type things, and what looks like a small saw. I think the job would have been a lot harder without the proper knives.
Watch that you don’t cut yourself, as good knives are VERY sharp.
You may get what you hoped for and very well may regret it.

You don’t hear much chatter about this emanating from, say, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Public Administration because, apparently, they’re all-in on the demolition of Western Civ.
It has been said that the only three bastions of true communism in the world today are Cuba, North Korea, and the Harvard Faculty Lounge….
Jim,
The Boston Red Sox occasionally wear blue & yellow as a “tip of the cap” to Boston Transit. It has nothing to do with Ukraine as they donned them in the 2021 season – well before Russia’s Feb. 2022 commencement of Special Military Operations.
They can wear pink tutus for all I care, just as long as they’re in last place and getting hammered by the opposition on a pretty regular basis. Love it so much when RedSux Nation suffers. 🙂
The question is, how many Americans will the deep state sacrifice in order to maintain control? There will be a September or October surprise. We just don’t know to what extent the psychopaths will go to.
If they manage to kick off open conflict with China the Swamp will use it to try and grab any and all emergency powers they can think up.
We have a new winner in the Woke Olympics.
I received a business email from Canada. It was “normal” in all respects.
Except, at the end of the email after the signature block, this statement appears:
“I respectfully acknowledge that I work at 220 Yonge Street, within land that is the ancestral territory of the Anishinaabe, The Wendat, and the Haudenosaunee peoples, and from 1805, the Treaty of the Lands of the Mississaugas.”
You can’t make this stuff up.
The Australians and Kiwis are big into it. Cheaper than shelling out more wampum to the abos – or Maori. ‘Cause you know where that would go, Jim Beam.
I imagine all of you caught the cringe-worthy performance of the Pope in Canada. The Catholic Church owes an apology and reparations to the people who are alive today and were harmed by their silence on the sexual abuse that was covered up. Acknowledgment that harm was done is certainly in order and a strict policy that this is never to be tolerated again.
There’s an Indian casino just over the border in Oklahoma from where I live. I’ve talked to a couple of people who work there about how it’s run, how the employees are treated, etc. and it’s no different than any other business. Including how they treat their “indigenous people/employees.”
Notice the Pope did not mention ONE WORD about the persecution of a Catholic priest?
So logically, the Tribes – or rather those behind them – can kick people off their property at any time since it is stolen land.
The Tribes are often only partners in these casinos. Other entities are also involved. It will be even more the case on this issue.
There land is too sacred for a pipeline, but not too scared for a casino. Laughable.
That reminded me of an interesting episode in New York history:
NEIGHBORS WHO DIDN’T SUPPORT NON-INDIANS OF SALAMANCA MAY FIND THEY PAY A PRICE

This scraping of the knee has been endemic in Canadian arts circles for well over a year now. If you DON’T bow and scrape, you’re ostracized, like me. (My art is now communicated within a silo with like-minded people, for now.)
LMAO!!!!
ATONEMENT: This title remined me of the speech at the 1995 MMMarch in DC after which, the next day, the pompous and hostile mood of the country changed and came back to its senses.
Today the country can longer come back to its sense nor can it atone. Except on an individual or communities level, but nationally, this does not seem possible. The crimes of the so-called ‘elite’, about which this site knows well, have foreclosed on that option.
As for western Europeans, they will soon enter the gauntlet called “harsh winter.” And to be honest I think the rest of the world wants them to ‘feel the pain’ as it were. To see if they have the moral and martial fitness to survive. Forewarned is forearmed.
Connecticut, home of our illustrious contributor BackRowHeckler, has now listed the ground rules for getting the monkeypox vaccine at local clinics:
Only someone who is a Connecticut resident, identifies as bisexual, gay, nonbinary or transgender, is 18 years or older and has had multiple or anonymous sex partners within the last 14 days is eligible for the vaccine, DPH officials said Thursday.

It sounds like a great place to cruise.

Yes, watch the video “The Gift” about Gays trying to get AIDS.
Shameless? Insatiable? Oh, some of them are far beyond that, well into the destructive and demonic.
Around the time of Pizzagate, the Ambrose Kane blog disappeared.
He had a write up on ‘bug hunting’…masochism?
Best of the day. Well done!
How about this?
Nancy lands in Taipei. Gets off the plane with her entourage. Planes are locked up.
China bombs the planes, or shoots them up.
Then puts an aerial blockade in place to trap her in place.
No one killed or hurt.
Definitely makes China’s point that they are in charge.
Nancy then gets plastic surgery to slant her eyes, adopts Chinese customs, and then starts running for office.
Never forget her and her brothers and sisters wearing khente scarves and taking a ceremonial knee in the Capital.
And who keeps electing this alcoholic fake Catholic? San Franciscans. Gays and their enablers.
JAZ-
I had similar thoughts about the Chicoms waiting for Nancy to land, then taking her hostage.
More omniously, there is a second carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, steaming across the Pacific, possibly to join the Reagan in the region.
Why couldn’t Nancy take care of her dirty work online? Did she have to physically move a bunch of semiconductors or something?
I remember reading that even in the darkest coldest days of WW2 Germans didn’t touch the Black Forest.
And Russian scientists working at a seed bank starved to death rather than eat the stored seeds.
But now Germans have already been cutting their forests, as well as forests in Ukraine and Romania, not to keep warm, but to build new houses, I guess for the “refugees”.
And Russia put a highway right through the seed bank.
There are too many people in the US and Europe to go back to the old ways even if anyone was capable of living without gas and Pringles.
I guess our overlords realize that more than we do and are proactively doing something about it.
Then they plan on taking over Russia, Ukraine and their farmland and fossil fuel supplies. It’ll be a lot easier when they are depopulated.
That is the plan as I see it.
You are close. Now consider that Vlad Putin is a WEF Young Global Leader graduate himself and you can then see the 3D chess that is really being played while the WEF-ran MSM covers it like a game of checkers.
So all graduates keep the faith? Just as the Chinese become perfect Globalists since their revolution was funded by the International Bankers?
No on the latter, and probably no on the former.
Some of them just get involved in that stuff to feel important.
Yes, I do believe that all WEF YGL grads keep the faith. It is either that or marginalization (or worse).
This entire geo-political shmozzle looks to me like nothing more than a grand charade of Good Cop, Bad Cop.
They want to bring the European people to their knees with starvation & frostbite? Done.
This ties in perfectly with your all or nothing theology. No shades of gray. Saved or damned for all time. You listened to too much Black Sabbath and Metallica.
As above, so below. They’re all completely evil. But if so, the world would have crumbled into the Pit long ago.
Actually, I never cared all that much for Sab or Metallica. They were too evil for me.
“He will come again to judge the living and the dead.”
It is binary. As promised, God will indeed have his Judgement Day. Each and evert soul will be exalted or be damned and this will transpire on His time – not yours. He knows what He is doing.
It is our mandate to try our very best to “make the cut.”
It doesn’t matter.
There are reports from Russia they are rolling out their own version of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
The only future on offer from all the different blocks is the digital gulag.
The only difference is who is in charge of the gulag.
Vlad was NOT a WEF Young Global Leader. Schwab asserted that but it is not true. Do some research.
My research has led me to believe that Vlad Putin is indeed a WEF YGL grad. The fact that he is now playing a key role in bringing down the seemingly otherwise completely moronic West lends credence to this well-known and widely distributed belief.
You claim that Klaus Schwab lied about Vlad Putin being a WEF YGL grad. OK. Interesting.
1) What, do you think, his motivation was for this otherwise outlandish claim?
2) I am doing research right now. What? Are you saying that only the perfectly prepared and research-completed may discuss world events on CFN? That would sure prune the commentators around here, right? Discussion here is research. Smarten up.
3) In order to facilitate my continued research, if you have evidence to the contrary of what I assert, it is your responsibility to provide it while refuting – not simply take a contrary position without any backing evidence and insult your adversary like a 6th grader. That’s how research works. Right?
4) A little decorum, please.
Bob: Wrong.
It’s basic math.
The Young Leaders started in 1993. Vladmir Putin was already 40 years old-aged out.
You don’t believe that Schwab would lie about this? Are you frigging kidding me?
Now tell me your theory on how Santa visits every house in the world in only one night, and what happens when there is no chimney.
Yeah, sounds like he saw a new rising power in the world so he went over to say hi and see what it was all about. Good man. Another Peter the Great. That’s what real leaders do or have their trusted men do.
All the Conspiracy writers I used to read missed the WEF. Just kept focusing on the the Bilderbergers, Trilateralists, and Bohemian Grove.
That’s a good point. Same, never heard of WEF ’til 2020.
It does not make sense. For a hundred years, Russia has been as nationalistic as we have been and it definitely is now.
IMHO, Russia is next on the list for the WEF and that is what Ukraine is all about to weaken both of us.

thanks
And Russia put a highway right through the seed bank.
link? how big is the eco seed reserve?
Links don’t go through the software.
A search engine might help, unless our overlords are censoring that info.
The seed bank was big because it included trees.
I remembered it as a highway, guess it was a housing development.
I’ll see if this works…

“Gas and Pringles”
ahahahahaha ahahahaha
Paula-
Well, the human population is in an overshoot condition that was enabled by the Green Revolution that gave us industrial agriculture and chemical fertilizers.
If those technologies are removed from the scene the current human population can’t be sustained.
It appears as though the controllers are removing those technologies.
Succinctly stated.
Tough times make men and women alike relearn what’s essential.
No participation awards.
No brownie points.
The recipe for a healthy society.
(Keeping in mind, however, that even healthy societies decay*, become sick, and disappear, leaving but assorted heaps of rubbish and a handful of mostly misunderstood – by future sentient beings – artifacts.)
* Mainly because leaders grow soft, careless or simply lose the drive to weed out all those who suck.
no merit – no blame

I feel a little sorry for the non-elite woke who don’t have the money and power to insulate themselves from the inevitable backlash when sanity returns to society. It’s going to be tough going being ostracized from what’s left of productive society with nobody for support but other identity politics fanatics.
David, the backlash may never happen because of demographic and generational change. The oncoming generations are on board with the woke.
really? all whites? blacks?
I see in LA County, being an illegal alien no longer bars you from getting a govt job. In fact, you go to the top of the affirmative action list.

WEST SIDE STORY — Everything free in merika.
I disagree, I think we are and will continue to see a steady increase of younger generations waking up. You have to dig a little to see it though because the vocal woke minority is very very vocal, so much like it feels they are all that exists.
i don’t know. Sometimes I have the impression that people have an inborn predisposition to be the “woke” type or the “not woke” type. Some people seem to be conformists by nature. Some others seem to be opportunists by nature–that is, they automatically ally themselves with whatever group seems to have the most power.
I have to agree. I can’t see America doing “Uprisings.”
Today’s article mentions Germany. About which, this context:
“Let me disclose one secret–one of my acquaintances, a man of extraordinary background and a very notable figure, who is German, had to bitterly admit, during one of our many conversations, that until Germany collapse economically and population as a whole will feel the brunt of this collapse, no political changes are possible. But Germany does need this change desperately because at issue is, actually, a survival of Germans as people. Yes, this is how serious this all is.”
A Russian Writer.
They have to repent for accepting Allied propaganda. Unlike the Japanese. The Japanese bowed a bit and did what they had to do – but they never spat on themselves and their ancestors the way the Germans did.
The Anglo-Zionists broke them and then inculcated them with this guilt complex – as if they are moral and not the demons in human form that they are.
I read a recent article that said the earth’s weakening magnetic field increases inflammation in humans. As its weakening can’t shield us from solar flares, increased solar radiation and the like. A possible explanation for all the zombies out there? Inflammation of the brain?
I think we are just seeing how stupid the average person is. I know many people who manage very well in life, are enjoyable company, and lead fairly interesting lives. I thought they were reasonably intelligent. Those are the ones who surprised me. Turns out they are morons.
I was not surprised to learn that the retired government employees are morons, as that’s a given.
Speaking of brains, Maybe we should cancel the magnetic field.
I’m worried about the new Tesla ‘Giga Factory’ in Brandenburg, Germany. How will it run without natgas inputs from Russia? How will the plant be heated, & where will electricity come from now that Germany has shut down its 3 remaining nuclear power plants? Can you run a modern industrial country with wind turbines and solar panels? WHAT ABOUT THE EV REVOLUTION?
Why not let Elon worry about that, BRH? Don’t you have enough to do enumerating the growing death toll in the gun-obsessed USA?
They have already started firing up the coal plants again, BRH.
They did not plan for Putin’s special operation, dove in on sanctions, and are now scared to death that an issue like this is going to sink them even among the masked cud-chewers.
They want to guide Germany through the Great Reset according to uncle Klaus’s plan, but they really don’t know what to do at the moment.
They need controlled chaos, and this ain’t it anymore.
Every week i marvel at the voices decrying the madness and then demanding that it stay in place.
DrTomSchmidt-
“Learned helplessness,”
The Elementary and secondary Education Act (ESEA) was passed in 1965 under the Johnson administration. This social engineering evolved into No Child Left Behind (Every Child Left Behind). Everyone you know who is fifty years of age or less have gone through the “Learned helplessness” indoctrination program.
The path (too many) in the medical profession have taken during the last two years was paved by the education professional’s who sought only to protect their pensions as they abandoned their nation and her children.
” I got mine”, “The one who dies with the most toys wins” and “Greed is good” – our society sought out and paid highly persons to spread the gospel of decadence. or as i like to call it “a cracker in a cadillac”
Walt Kelly is still relevant
“ What remains to happen, and probably will by summer’s end, is a massive uprising of the non-Woke against the Woke Elites and the end of their insane depredations. They can atone all they want at their trials and executions.”
This one wins the internet in the category of “WHAT I HOPE BEYOND HOPE WILL HAPPEN”
The Red Sox’ hideous sky blue and yellow uniforms debuted last year as part of Major League Baseball’s idiotic “city connect” I initiative, whereby all MLB teams have to create alternate uniforms using elements of the home city — in Boston’s case, a version of the Boston Marathon number tags. The San Fran Giants have orange jerseys and hats that feature stylized Golden Gate Bridges. Anything to create a fad so that fans will drop cash on something unique (read insipid and hideous) because fad = great, and tradition = boring.
I stand corrected. I had heard last year that the BoSox’ blue and yellow was symbolic for Boston Transit while a Googling now confirms Uncle Bob’s Boston Marathon tribute.
And remember to buy plenty of $20 hotdogs and $25 beers so Hector can build his 30 room mansion outside Santo Domingo and staff it with an armed security detail the size of an army platoon.
“As in the USA, the governments of Euroland have declared war on their own people….”
The dirty little secret in all of history is that virtually every form of authority over a population is always at war with their own people. Sometimes this war is a quiet one using soft censorship and tight control of the money supply and Wokeism of the Day. At the other extreme is full-on population extermination. But at the heart of the entire spectrum is a hatred of The People by the ruling entity.
“But it was still a bit of a shock last week to see the Boston Red Sox playing in sky blue and yellow uniforms in solidarity with the neo-Nazi failing state, Ukraine.”
Sports leagues have long been co-opted to be just another arm of The State. The Circuses aspect of the Bread and Circuses societal control system. Whether it is fly-overs of stadiums by aerial death machines or the quieter Social and Political virtue signaling and engineering done by The State… We the People are always being told what we are supposed to believe and support… OR ELSE. And all this in The Land of Freedom. Where We are free to do as we are told. Always and forever.
“America’s elites are secretly disgusted with themselves, especially about the wealth they have been able to grift out of all the racketeering that has replaced honest work in our country…”
If any of them are, it’s only a tiny few. Most all of them do not have the capacity to feel remorse. That was long erased from their psychological makeup years ago if They had such capacity at all. You do not get the heights of wealth and power by having a conscience. That is the first thing that has to go. And once conscience has been eliminated, there is unlimited freedom to do anything you want to people and feel good about doing so.
“Pharma and its enablers in the NIH-CDC matrix actually have no idea what variants are coming…”
Sure They do. Just check in with their cutting-edge bio research labs to see a list of coming attractions. Just like the tradition of the auto industry… guys in white coats are always working on the new models to be rolled out when the market and timing is right.
Thx, RBS. Brilliant – as always.
“Where We are free to do as we are told. Always and forever.”
BINGO!
I remember hearing, over and over ad nauseum, after that Tuesday in September 2001:
“The world has changed! The world will never be the same!”
Then all us ticket-holders needed to stand and cheer like mindless, thoughtless bots while the local pro team flashed some warrior home on leave from occupying Iraq or Afghanistan on the video screen during a TV-broadcast commercial timeout.
It came out later that, of course, the pro leagues and teams were 100% on-board because these were revenue streams – paid, live advertisements to brow-beat the old and entice the young.
Homo sapiens needs to be put on the endangered species list.
Save the babies!
Here’s more Taiwan speculation-
What if the Biden tested positive for Covid and went back in the basement because he’s at death’s door?
Imagine if he passed away while Pelosi was in Taiwan being held hostage by the Chicoms.
Just think of the unbelievable baying for blood we would hear from the MSM.
What kind of epic machinations could the Swamp apply to the Presidential line of succession to install their preferred candidate as VP?
You left out Harris, who is second in line.

Who agrees with you on this board?
Spoon fed state propaganda.
LOL.
Beryl & Paula,
It is counter-productive for you to perform amateur psychology trying to guess the true thoughts of a ‘patient’ that you have never even met.
Rather than wasting our time speculating on my personal situation or your assumptions of my motives, we’d all be better served if you commented on (and, yes, even argued against) what I actually say.
1) I am irrelevant. This is not about me and my enjoyment in a slice of fine a la mode fruit pie.
2) This is about the Rockefeller-led societal fabric-destroying hood-winking that was Women’s Lib. Their elaborate con perfectly coincided with their 50-year non-gold-backed, fiat, Petro-Dollar currency wealth confiscation scheme and, like all good cons, made the victims feel like they were actually doing the right thing while they were being gently led down the path of destruction.
Either discuss these realities on a societal basis or scroll on by. Your amateur speculation of my personal life and of my thoughts are both inaccurate and blatantly obvious ad hom attacks while the Rockefellers make out like bandits.
I didn’t try to guess anyone’s thoughts. I’ll be the judge of what is and isn’t counter-productive for me to talk or think about, thank you. I don’t work for you, and in case you have not noticed, I don’t defer to men.
I have my own thoughts about the societal hoodwinking that went on, and IMO “women’s lib” was the antidote.
“Rhett” is reminding me of someone . . .
And you’re right, I think so too. Mary also figured it out. You can hide a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but the teeth always show.
Islander:
Rhett:
” I said that AOC is the epitome of the modern woman who is now empowered by their birth-right possession of the porn-obsessed modern man’s quest for pie.”
????
Translate into English?
‘Pie’ is a colloquial word for ‘vagina.’
modern man’s quest?
Have you read Genesis? I mean holee shit what these guys and gals were up to, over and over, stranger and stranger.
And yes, OG, I know you’ve read Genesis. Just saying the basest human condition hasn’t changed in millenia, only the addition of the expectation of fake instant gratification supplied by technology and people who don’t give a shit about civilization, only themselves (note: that’s a whole lot of people).
Anyway, you’re right about the porn part in regards to the destruction of the modern man. But the obsession is built-in from day one, sir!
The fact that you keep equating women with people whose only worth is to bake cherry pies is why that speculation occurred. Everyone else seems to get it, why would you keep denying what you’re doing.
Weird.
@Mango, OG can’t hide his misogyny no matter how many socks he wears.
Me too. Waiting for the “Shameless Jezebel!” comments to fly.
I do owe you an apology, Beryl. I scrolled up to pull a quote or two from you where you claim to know my thoughts and/or motives … but could not locate any from you at all as they were all from Paula. My mistake. I am sorry.
As for your thoughts that the Rockefeller-led Women’s Lib movement was the antidote rather than a cause of the mess that we are in now, can you imagine how awful things would be for us today had they not graced us with every woman in the workforce? So very thoughtful of them.
As for women cooking and raising our children while men hunted the meat for them to cook in their primitive kitchens – Yes, I do know that that is how our species climbed to the top of the food chain on this planet. I thought that we all knew that.
And then we evolved.
I actually agree with Rhett that “women’s liberation” that was so highly promoted in the 70s was a capitalist plot to keep women working so that they could get two workers for the price of 1.67.
The labor market works on supply and demand, so the more workers competing for jobs, the cheaper the wages.
I agree that children need their mothers when they are little, but that isn’t cost efficient for our owners.
Same thing about opening the borders, which the same capitalists spin as helping the Dreamers, or some such bullshit. It’s about flooding the labor market with people eager to work for peanuts.
But if Rhett is going to spin his pie fantasies in public he has to realize that some of us will speculate about his private life.
If not me..who? If not now….when?
@ Paula D:
I agree about the “women’s lib” movement. While it was beneficial to women in some ways, it is/was mostly detrimental to women’s actual interests and was promoted in the 70s and beyond to service the interests of the PTB at several levels: lower labor costs due to supply and demand, inreased tax revenues, disguising the rampant inflation of the 70s and 80s, undermining traditional family life, institutionalizing children almost from birth, discouraging child-bearing, depriving kids of parental guidance and affection, and on and on.
The main people who were liberated by “women’s lib” were men, who were liberated from all social, moral, and financial responsibility.
You can be sure that any “movement” promoted by media is not an authentic movement at all. An authentic, grass-roots women’s movement would have done much more to address the real interests of women, rather than largely undermining them.
And the “pie fantasies” do suggest that Rhett is getting little or no pie…er…”pie.” Though I don’t see why he can’t make his own pie.
Yet you blame men above, ignoring women’s passion acquiescence to their own enslavement. Careers! (work animal at the cube farm. Stupid women.
Yes, Anthea, if you look at the “benefits” women supposedly got from the very hyped women’s “liberation” movement, they were mostly economic, as in, be a wage slave for life and credit is now open to you. Women can now open bank accounts, buy houses and get credit cards in their own names.
Actually, the easy credit cards were also rolled out in the 70s. Who benefited? The banks and stores.
Before that people unable to postpone gratification put items on layaway. After that, they went into debt servitude. That’s OK, work some overtime and pay it off.
I now realize that if the media is 24/7 on something, then that something should be looked at with great suspicion.
Same with Watergate. All networks carrying the hearings all day? Really? I now think that that was a Color Revolution. What Nixon did to piss off TPTB I don’t know, but I don’t think they were worried about “democracy” or “saving our system”.
Same as now. I actually watched the video that Redneck Liberal thought was so persuasive. They are literally redefining political activity as “nsurgency”.
This is a major power move.
@ Paula D:
One of the main results of the women’s “liberation” movement was that married women, especially with children, are now expected to work two jobs: one as a housewife/mother and one outside the home in the workforce. Employment outside the home also made children much more expensive, due to the cost of daycare. These two factors strongly discouraged both marriage and childbearing.
Working motherhood has, IMHO, had a terribly deleterious effect on the lives of both women and children.
Also, IMHO, what is really beneficial to the interests of women, children, and society in general are stable marriages and children raised by stay-at-home moms.
Based on my observations from my 1950s childhood, stable marriages where hubby did his best to provide for the family, and where his presence in the home was not more deleterious than not, were not a general thing. Even back then we had two divorced women on our block, one where hubby abandoned the family and one where hubby was an alcoholic. We had two widows and one widower. In the case of one of the widows, hubby committed suicide by blowing his brains out behind the Red Dog Saloon, leaving her with four kids, two of them toddlers. In one family, the mother of four young children was forced to go to work, since hubby wouldn’t. In one family with five kids, hubby was known to beat up on the kids a lot, and in later years I heard him described by neighbors as “mean as a snake.” But, on balance, there were some solid families where hubby went to work every day, and all was as happy and peaceful as could be expected. Still, I’d say that about 50% of the households were very troubled–and two of the three households headed by women were among the most peaceful and stable. The widow was, in one case, very well-to-do and worked as a schoolteacher, and one of the divorced women was the town librarian and a devout Catholic. The other divorced woman (whose husband took off) suffered from leukemia for most of the years the kids were growing up, but she had wealthy relatives who helped her out a lot until her death. The whole situation was obviously tough on the kids, one of whom was mentally handicapped.
Certainly one proponent of women’s llib among my age group was a woman whose parents had both died–Mom just about the time she graduated from high school–and left her with three younger siblings to support, as well as a daughter of her own, after her husband abandoned the family. So she raised the daughter and siblings alone. That woman had a stainless steel spine and is still one of the people I most admire in this world.
So I’d say that about half the families on my block featured dads who were either alcoholics, abusers, or bums–or were absent. This was pretty fertile ground for the women’s “liberation” movement–and this was back in the 1950s-60s, when families were still fairly stable, and there was ample stable head-of-household employment for the men.
I know it sounds like Tobacco Road, and it was a predominantly blue-collar, lower-middle-class town, but my subsequent experience was that the same shit goes on in more affluent areas; it’s just better hidden. (This is why you never get to know your neighbors in suburbia. They are careful about that.)
IMO, the thing that impacted US society the most, black and white, was the drugs. Weed, first and foremost. I say impacted, past tense, because the present situation, meaning the opiates usage, is on another level.
And then also, the capitalist plot to put women (cheap labor) into the workforce actually helped women who didn’t decide to raise families, for whatever reason.
But women who decide to try to steer their own destinies never seem to be the focus for some reason, although single men don’t have that same perception problem.
That is true.
LOL. What an idjit.
This won’t be a popular comment. And I don’t intend any disrespect to JHK’s poignant essay. But just think, ten years ago “woke” wasn’t really a word. Now it has such a melting pot of meanings that a Wizard of Language couldn’t distill it.
“Woke” is today’s Puritanism, and its acolytes are the same smug and self righteous sorts who believe that their way is the Only Pure and True Way, so the entire society should adhere to their beliefs. Heretics must be shunned and purged, if not imprisoned and killed.
No other views can be allowed, no other beliefs tolerated.
Free speech must be banned, freedom of assembly redefined as “insurrection”, freedom of the press censored and stifled, bodily autonomy redefined to suit their tattooed, pierced and jabbed selves.
It’s may not be easy to define, but I know it when I see it. The smugness emanates from every pore, even online.
Nice. Thanks for this.
Spot on, Paula.
Is CNN considered woke? Because I was watching for 3 minutes the other day and it felt OW – Otherworldly.
“Just having a lot of money means less than it used to.” The passage of the 16th Amendment in 1913 allowed Americans to start paying the interest on money borrowed by the newly created Federal Reserve.
Based on income levels, money earned in 1913 was taxed at rates of 1% to 7% and was due in April 1914. These federal income tax rates have gone up substantially since 1914, in these times of multi-trillion dollar deficits.

Dear Lord, all I want for Christmas is a guillotine…
How much is that guillotine in the window?
The one with the bloody steel
How much is that guillotine in the window?
I do hope that guillotine’s for sale
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a guillotine, he won’t be lonesome
And the guillotine will have a good home
How much is that guillotine in the window?
The one with the bloody steel
How much is that guillotine in the window?
I do hope that guillotine’s for sale
I read in the papers, there are robbers
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a guillotine to protect him
And scare them away with one fall
I don’t want a whip or a shotgun
I don’t want a scythe that stalks
I don’t want a bowl of little poison pillies
He can’t take a poisoned perp for a walk
How much is that guillotine in the window?
The one with the bloody steel
How much is that guillotine in the window?
I do hope that guillotine’s for sale
is this po-em your creation?
Ha, ha, Cowbell.
I’m thinking we’re going to have to make our own though.
LMAO! Great stuff.
those Sox uniforms are kind of old, some tie in with the Marathon or some such thing, i.e. let’s sell more crap to the hordes… but not made for taking a knee for the Nazis and Zelensky or anything. They sure do fit the bill though.
Suddenly an extremely rare virus is hitting newborns & infants in Memphis, called parechovirus, in areas where Sec. Mayorkas has been dumping illegals. You can add this to the cases of polio and meningitis turning up in children across the country. Apparently letting hundreds of thousands of illegals into the US from squalid Central American barrios and fetid jungles without health checks has consequences. Little ones are paying the price.
Wear a mask, indeed.
This is not an ‘extremely rare virus’, Marlin. It’s common enough and not actually an issue to anyone unless they’re under 3 months old. \
“Parechovirus is a virus that usually has very mild symptoms, or none at all. Sometimes it can cause serious illness in babies and young children.”
healthdirect.gov.au (I figured a link to the CDC wouldn’t carry any weight…)
So, why do you constantly nag about the filthy Mexicans et al bringing squalid 3rd world diseases? This is how misinformation looks.
Not Mexicans necessarily. Further south, from the jungles of Central America.
How do you explain the sudden cases of meningitis, and the re emergence of polio?
He can’t, so like all good little Libbers, he ignores the issue.
The ‘issue’ is being created by you ‘good little trumpsters’.
So, Florida is having an outbreak of meningococcal disease (a couple of variants). Nothing ‘new’ here…
Where I live, there ARE no third-world illegal immigrants and our university colleges have men B outbreaks from time to time…but the sky is NOT falling.
“How do you explain…the re emergence of polio?”
Well, I don’t have to explain it, but you don’t even bother doing any “research” – not even ‘your own’, apparently. You get a talking point from Tucker Carlson and just dive right in there! Good little Marlin!
The current polio-like outbreak isn’t actually polio:
” A series on the enteroviruses that appear to cause a polio-like neurological disease, Acute Flaccid Myelitis. Hopefully we can use what we have learned from both the success and challenges of poliovirus vaccines to mount a formidable defense against emerging enteroviruses such as those causing Acute Flaccid Myelitis.”
Then, of course, we have effective vaccines for poliomyelitis (which is proving effective against this emergent attack), and the most noticeable outbreak is actually in Malaysia.
I guess they can’t blame illegal immigrants, and they’re already third world, and have “squalid (cities & towns) and fetid jungles without health checks…” so it clearly serves them right, huh?
“Well, I don’t have to explain it, but you don’t even bother doing any “research” – not even ‘your own’, apparently.”
When you’ve finished the research necessary to ‘debunk’ Dr Chetty’s 100% success rate in keeping his 7000 covid patients out of hospital – and in preventing them from even suffering from long covid – you could move on to checking out how, in swaths of Africa, vaccine-induced paralysis has taken over from wild polio-induced paralysis in children since the rollout of Gates polio vaccines.
We wait with bated breath (for something not sourced from Fullfact et al) or Reuters/AP.
“Good little Marlin!”
Bad little Redneck. Never comes back to clean up after himself.
Still waiting for you to debunk Dr Chetty. Or you may do the opposite, which would involve acknowledging that covid is the most treatable respiratory disease there is. Which would, in turn, involve admitting that there was never any need for a ‘vaccine’. Never. Which would, in turn, involve admitting that there is another agenda at play than preventing covid infection and transmission – which everyone who’s not living under a rock knows the ‘vaccines’ do not do, and yet you still can’t travel to many places without certification that you’ve had said useless – and highly dangerous – intervention, and mandates continue to exist. All of which would involve admitting that conspirators, not conspiracy theorists, are an actual thing, and not a benevolent one.
C’mon Redneck. FFS pull your head out of the sand or from that other place wherein it dwells.
Like I said: Drive-by poo-fling.
He has neither the intelligence nor the nuts to get into it with anyone beyond a post or two of name-calling.
Great article. Tear it down and build back better with Tyranny!! and Socialism! They are only able to do this because the elections are a joke and have been for many many years. Thank GOD for the internet where if you know where to look you can get alternative media.
Biden continues to suffer from Covid and test positive. Pelosi is going on a kamikaze mission to Taiwan. After those two pesky old timers are taken out, then Kamala will be able to run our ship of state right upon the coral reef, cackling all the way. Bill Gates will be brought in as a czar on public health issues, and Buttigieg will step up to the plate and take over some big time policy agendas.
All of this is being planned. Watch for it to play out in the next 1-2 weeks.
Noted. See you on or about 15th August to review your prognostications.
Per CBS News:
NYC stores locking up Spam amid shoplifting surge
Some New Yorkers are resorting to theft as inflation lifts the cost of everyday goods, including food.
Drugstores in parts of New York City are on high alert amid a rise in shoplifting and are increasing security measures to stop theft. Cans of Spam, a cooked pork product that retails for $3.99 per 12-ounce tin, appeared to be encased in an antitheft container at a Duane Reade store in Manhattan, according to a customer who shared an image of the loss-prevention device on Twitter.
Cans of Celebrity brand ham, which retails for $3.49, were also encased in plastic, according to a customer tweeted an image of the product.
In June, the consumer price index rose 9.1% in from a year earlier, the highest inflation in more than 40 years.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to a rise in retail crime, due in part to the increase in online shopping. Thieves have become more brazen in stealing from stores because they can sell items online, experts have said.
Walgreens, which owns Duane Reade, did not immediately reply to CBS MoneyWatch’s request for comment.
In May, New York Mayor Eric Adams and Attorney General Letitia James announced the arrest of 41 people who were allegedly part of a crime ring that stole thousands of items from drugstores, along with luxury clothing and goods.
One of the reasons there are so-called food deserts in the poor sections of major cities is due to theft. This has been going on for years but it sounds like it’s escalating and finally caught the attention of media. And I’ve read that drugstores in San Francisco that have been looted are not going to reopen so people will have to go further to get prescriptions filled.
Makes you wonder about eBay, doesn’t it? All those new clothes with the tags to prove it.
I’ve mentioned a few times that during the riots in Hartford in 1968 ALL the food stores were looted and burned out. They never reopened. Dems like it that way because at election time they can rub our noses in the ‘Food Desert’ that Hartford has become. Of course, racism is to blame. But there have been numerous attempts to establish grocery stores in the city. They all fail, and its not only because of the shoplifting and vandalism. There is the bigger problem of assaults and robberies, and stolen cars, in the stores parking lots. I ask you, in all seriousness, how can anybody do business under those conditions?
also people are reluctant to go into ‘bad’ areas to work at the grocery.
grocry profits are a razor thin margin.
theres the rap ‘song’ about the black gal shot by the asian store worker or owner.
Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?
Waitress: Urgghh!
Wife: What do you mean ‘Urgghh’? I don’t like spam!
Things are heating up once again in Kosovo/Serbia too; gunfire was heard on the border today — another NATO/Russia flashpoint.
“We will protect Serbia”–Czar Nicholas, July 1914

“The part of Archduke Ferdinand is now being played by Nancy Pelosi.”
(Said in hushed voice at the start of the play)
“Are you sure this is the right way?” Mrs Ferdinand.
Very interesting. They didn’t the last time. Putin was actually flying to the United State when the bombing began. He turned the plane around, no doubt burning in fury.
Then he built up the military I imagine so it would never happen again.
It’s China’s turn.
While the US was destroying Yugoslavia they bombed the Chinese Embassy.
Then they said “Oops, our bad. We were using old maps”.
China needs to step it up and not leave Russia to fight alone.
They should bomb Camp Bondsteel (built on stolen Serb land) and say “Oops, our bad. We were aiming at Pelosi’s plane”.
this just crossed my desk,
At doctors office. I overheard a healthy individual under 40 who worked at the office, just died in their sleep.
Health providers are required to get all vaccines.
Lol working late? I have also noticed an increase in people asking for prayers and good thoughts, vibes, etc because a loved one has been rushed to the ER due to heart attack, heart issues. Cannot recall ever seeing so many similar comments/posts prior to vax
last nite I went to a social event.
a woman [new face to me] told me, ‘my friend got the shot, ankle swelled, more problems followed, then she died young’.
“Woke Elitedom has more money than it knows what to do with… Don’t worry. Soon they will have a lot less money.”

Si. But the felling of the forests for fire wood is a big source of intense stress and anxiety
What do you do w/ someone who can’t walk and chew gum at the same time? Ban them from the blog? That’d be me.
They let one be president in the 1970s…oh! And a second one 2017-2021…so there’s possibly a big future for you in politics, tom clark.
Who would you like to ban tom?
Sorry, RL/ I have no desire for a future in politics. I find politics repulsive. Mike Pence in 2024!
You can now buy packaged crickets and larvae from gas stations in Australia.
Somehow I think potato chips and chocolate bars will be scooped up a bit more readily.
It all sounds so dreadful. It might be cute to take advantage of market dynamics and introduce a crisp locusts and golden honey stack pack lol. Not sure what to call it. But the messaging on the packaging could be amazing. Atone. Partake in the Wokospel. And the little story could talk about why locusts and honey is all you get because you’re a giant, sinful carbon monster etc.
Likes EVs, the market for insect based Snacks is nonexistent.
That doesn’t mean the marketers won’t keep trying.
We’ll need to address how the little buggers are raised as well. Are these “free range” bugs, or are they “sweat shop” bugs, living short, hard, and brutal lives raised in degrading conditions? And by god there BETTER NOT be any glue traps involved! Have we looked into their little bug eyes and determined for a fact that they don’t have a bug soul before we munch them down like so much popcorn? So many questions yet to be answered.
I know right! The questions never end lol. But wow, definitely the bugs will be free range. What do you think? This is going to be some kinda animal cruelty operation? The locusts will be happy and fat and free. Until they become snacks of course. But nary a glue trap will be used in the process. And there will be religious rites performed as they are snackified so their little souls can swarm to the heavens, or wherever locusts souls go.
Please be nice today 🙂
How will they harvest them, I wonder? Heat flash to flash fry them? Microwave? Surely not just smash them underfoot? Or will they somehow still be all wiggly good, served up live inside a chocolate covering?
The Korean wives were known for coming out on the flight line after a rain at night (which was every night in the warm months) when I was stationed in South Georgia. The water bugs were a tasty treat, enjoyed on the spot as well as bagged for later. Not to be too graphic about it, but they would break them in half and suck the goo out of them, much like slurping an oyster. Quite a sight!

You know, I never said that you can commune with everything. But there are many spirits that you can commune with. It was actually just a big joke honestly. The details of the actual locust trade being a bit too much for my sensibilities. But from a marketing perspective I can share with you that chocolate covered locusts have a better chance. Not if their moving though. Eww
Some people have tried to emotional support insects on to airplanes.
In India, there are hospital Temples that try to heal injured animals, including insects.
Dis would do well to apprentice himself to such a Temple to learn compassion.
I think an apprenticeship is a wonderful idea. Also Dis may want to consider an emotional support tarantula. They can be outfitted with an adorable micro shirt or dress on their abdomen. So precious lol
They could go out with matching Hawaiian shirts, with the Tarantula perched on his shoulder.
How are you coming with your Spider phobia desensitization?
OMG that is an awesome idea!! 🙂
So far I am doing well on that front actually. I’m still not ready to allow a spider to crawl on me, but if I see one around the house I feel comfortable knowing it is culling other insects in the house that could become pests.
Send me your addresses and I’ll see about getting you some Western Diamondbacks to commune with. Maybe throw in a gopher or two for free. We have scorpions and tarantulas as well, but neither care for people, so you’ll rarely see them.
You two are in luck!

Nice cuddly pics, too!
SSL: There are some nice spider pictures. At least some of them have a face if you look at it from the right angle.
Every pest is a potential pet looking for its forever home…..
Aww a forever home. That’s true. I mean, every creature needs a home. I recently have been watching these beautiful dragonflies, i think they are called blue dashers, who seem to have become fond of a big azalea bush in the back yard. They let me get real close and they don’t flutter away and they definitely have faces. I can even put my finger like right up to their big strange eyes lol but they don’t move. I call em my sweet little flutteries.
I love insects and wouldn’t eat them.
I really love spiders, and got a close-up amazing photo of a wolf spider mama with hundreds of babies being carried on her back. She was on my front porch.
They are (to my knowledge) they only spider that carries their young that way.
Mind-blowing.
Not that arachnids are insects, technically I believe they are not. But I have had a love of ‘bugs’ since I was a kid.
I’m also fascinated by bee, ant and termite colonies.
VIETNAM WAR ERA – American GIs taking some R’n’R in Thailand. They’re sitting in an outdoor eatery, drinking beer and snacking away, when a cute girl with a tray of fried locusts comes by. She eyes them, smiles.
GI 1: Hey, look what she’s got. Bet you won’t eat one.
GI 2: You’re on. Come over here, honey. Let me try a handful of those little critters.
LOCUST SELLER: Five Baht. You like?
GI 2: Umm, they’re crunchy. Hey, I bet it’s not easy to round up all these little guys. How do you catch them?
LOCUST SELLER (shaking head): No, no, not hard. Very easy! Psssss (makes spraying movement with her hand)
LOL! Sounds about right. I remember six inch cockroaches in Hawaii distinctly. And the fact that you had to empty your cupboards and wash all the plates and dishes weekly to kill all the buggers who would set up house between them. I’d keep six packs of the large cans of Raid or Black Flag on hand for dealing with them. Learned too late that powdered sugar and baking soda were the environmentally correct solution. Seems cockroaches can’t burp, so they eat the sugar and the baking soda makes them blow up. Who knew?
Isn’t Redneck Lib an Aussie?
Maybe he could shoplift a pkg of worm larvae and report back with a taste test review!
Ah! An Aussie! I never could get Redneck and Liberal to compute as a combination, since we have no such types in th US–except maybe as fetishism or theater, as with gay men wearing assless chaps.
Perhaps he is some Ennis Delmar or Jack Twist of the Outback–or is similarly attired.
Brokeback Mountain was a GREAT movie, by the way. You have to look at it from the perspective that being gay is most often a personal tragedy. Although I suppose this is also true of being heterosexual.
Joe Bageant called himself a leftneck. 🙂
If Redneck and Majella are one and the same, he’s from NZ. Cargill/Tekapo was from Australia.
For “white supremacy” the defaming pens. For “white achievement” little to no ink. – TRUE LINES
Cuba is having a cigar crisis due to shortages and unavailability of fertilizers.
At least that’s what the Europeans tell the little guy. The little guy trying to buy a puro Cubano.
Somewhere in the middle lies the truth: Cubans are being priced, world-wide, to reflect the Hong Kong market price. As it is an in-demand luxury good.
As Cuba exported to Spain and Switzerland to fetch the best market price it now exports to the wealthiest area of China. And China sets the price.
But it does not end with cigars. It begins here.
A once rather common good has become a luxury.
Ramon Allones to Tomahawk steaks. Expensive because of fertilizer, and available only for the über-wealthy, as a high end luxury should be.
Fertilizer prices are being manipulated for “climate change”. You can still send your private jet to retrieve a few cases that can be delivered to your yacht content knowing that although you emit more carbon than a large city that you did your duty by paying for it.
Today, Freedom has a price. A very high one.
Apparently the entire Cuban nation is in economic crisis at this point.
Brownouts and Blackouts are becoming more and more frequent due to lack of fuel to run power plants. And altho there is no danger of famine, food shortages are real and a reduced diet is becoming a reality.
Cuba joining the ranks of failed states in this 3rd decade of the 21st century, along with Lebanon, Ceylon, Venezuela, SAfrica & Ukraine.
Normalizing US-Cuba relations would go a long way to improve the lives of Cuban citizens.
Hahahahahaha. The New Normal, sure.
But I agree, Cuba should be released from the sanctions.
Yes, after 63 years you would think enough is enough.
there are many news items on youtube that I saw,
Cuba
sri Lanka
Panama
el Salvadore
any others to add to the list?
as goes the price of gas, coal, etc so goes a nations health.
Malthuss,
Pakistan
Iran
Ukraine
…Detroit….
iow the tomahawk steaks are too expensive for any ole throwing competition 🙂
Hey Edge,
In the 1970s I was attempting to follow the Cuban cigar story, in part because of an involvement with the Filipino cigar industry (kind of a “failed state”, businesswise).
What I heard / read was that Castro initially disdained tobacco cultivation, as the latifundistas who owned all the good land where they grew cigar tobacco were most likely Batista fanboys.
Later he changed his tune, most likely on account of desperately needing foreign exchange. But much of the carefully-nurtured land had been ruined by chemical fertilizers, where they replanted corn or another grain after the revolution.
The best seeds were reportedly spirited out of the country, though that was a high crime. They are doing quite nicely now in Central America.
The point of all this is that a “Cuban” is not the same “Cuban” as back when. All the good people left along with the seeds as well.
The vast majority of nouveau riche buying these smokes wouldn’t know a good cigar from a White Owl.
Firr shirr
But there are still many exquisite puros cubanos.
There are good “new world” cigars, but many are so called “boutique” brands that oftentimes amounts to nothing more than an entrepreneurial cigar fan buying leaves from the major producers and creating some mélange flavor bomb with a kewl/aggressive band and some contrived marketing mythology.
You can certainly enjoy a sparkling Napa but it just ain’t champagne
Some kind of gang war going on ‘in de hood’ in Hartford; 5 people gunned down in the last 2 nights. (which is alot in a city with a population of just over 100,000).
Typically, none of the political ads running now address the problem, or any problems. Instead, it’s all about abortion, despite the fact Ct has probably the loosest abortion laws in the country — the State encourages abortion, and will pay for you to get one.
I recall an antique railroad station there plus a few memorable clubs.
The life of black America is rule by gangs in heavily urbanized areas, that have just enough commercial activity to provide the local population booze & processed foods.
Their “community” is just what the “woke” leftists want for the entire nation: a population almost completely dependent on government, with drug dealing as the only economic activity.
Agenda 21
BRH,
A question.
Could a guy identify as a pregnant female, present himself for an abortion, and have his hemmorhoids fixed at the same time?
…Asking for a friend….
Hemorrhoids, no.
But they’ll be happy to cut out your prostate gland — WITH A SAWZALL!

Tactical ‘Provocative’ Move: China Brings Warships, Planes Near Taiwan Strait Ahead of Nancy Pelosi’s Anticipated Visit
Still concerned about abortion and what bathroom to you?
If indeed Pelosi’s plane is shot down, I wonder what the response will be?
Remember when Trump was President — just a few years ago — the Dem/MSM/Lefty meme was ‘Trump is a madman who will get us into a war’, lol?
Remember this headline?
Trump denies Pelosi aircraft for foreign trip, after call for State of the Union delay.
At least Trump had the balls to stop this madwoman. Joe Biden is a gutless POB
He had all of the luggage sent directly back to her office as well.
There is a video of it.
Good times.
Yes! That was hilarious.
Your question requires a complex and an imaginative IQ to answer.
Still concerned about abortion and what bathroom to you?
Yes. I m concerned about all sorts of things.
Well, if this Pelosi thing disintegrates into a bright white flash, bend over, place your head firmly between your legs, and kiss your ass goodbye. Problems solved.
I know. If anything it simply means an expansion of things to be concerned about. Ugghh Why does she have to go to Taiwan anyway? Someone said it was because she wants this as her legacy. Personally I would have thought Fiji would have been a better destination and more of a tropical paradise feel
Smoke and mirrors.
Since there is not reason at all why she should go to Taiwan, I assume that it’s just some very scripted theater in which she and Xi (and others) have agreed to act out their roles. For some reason (unknown to me) it serves their interests. So, who knows how the script reads?
So far, quite a few people have gotten quite a bit of publicity out of it.
Hmmm. It’s difficult to imagine Xi working with the likes of Nancy Pelosi. Allegedly Xi was super nasty to Biden on their last conference call. Of course I suppose that it could all be scripted out but I dunno. Commentators I have listened to seem to think China will have to react to this provocation to save face. And I could easily imagine Nancy Pelosi risking Armageddon for her own personal career goals and acolytes.
I think that you are right, Anthea. I think that Schwab, Macron, Trudeau, Arden, Putin, Biden, Xi et al are all “in on it.” They all have their role to play and they will all “live happily ever after” once they have reduced us to 500,000,000 compliant, marked, bug-eating serf-bots.
God, of course, has other plans.
Use instead of you

Dutch farmer/anti-WEF protests are really heating up here.
Tire fires raging and bales of hay burning 24/7. Roads blocked everywhere with piles of manure, and city centers overrun with protestors.
The public appears to back them quite strongly as well.
This is what we need. Been heading over the border to buy local produce quite often lately. Wooo!
https://twitter.com/Resist_05/status/1551680204874977280!
Wow that is an amazing pic! Honestly I don’t even see much “conservative” alt media coverage of this.
This stuff is going on daily. Protests are massive.
McMedia doing everything they can to keep it quiet.
Tucker needs to show these photos on his show and interview some of the farmers! Joe Rogan too! If ya’ll are peeking in, pretty please
Always fun to see the Rednut-like apologists up there commenting.
Speaking of Rednut, he has gone back to his Trae roots.
Not only did he claim to be a Youtube celebrity, but he now corresponds directly with CNN’s Malcolm Nance, and has sent him my forum posts.

I not so worried about food shortages,
I am more worried about WWIII!
The next 72 hours will tell the tale.
If you hear about WW starting, go to the store immediately.
I agree. Stock up.
Great. Wiping my ass with leaves again.
Yep, come fall better rake them all up and save them. It’s going to be a long, cold, lonely winter.
Let ‘um rot. They make good fertilizer.
You’re lucky, Robert. We’ve only got pine cones. Thank God for constipation!
I don’t need to. I have soooooooooooooooooooo much food.
Well, ladies and germs;
Good News! Situational Awareness this AM reports;
IRAN ALREADY NUCLEAR CAPABLE: Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization leader Mohammad Eslami warned that Iran already has the technical capability to build a nuclear device but states the country does not intend to do so. Eslami explained that Iran had decided to shut off international monitoring cameras in its enrichment facilities as it was “not acceptable”.
Whew, that was close. The Iranian’s promise not to to “Nuke-Up” their military capability must be a huge relief for those in Israel and Saudi Arabia who consider these things….
Got me to thinking, however.
What did Allah mean when he put Nuclear capability in their hands? What could be His purpose?
God is Great!
Iran was quoted as saying that they now have nukes and are more than prepared to turn New York into a wasteland. My response to them: Better hurry, Mayor Eric Adams is quickly beating you to the punch! Same goes for the once great city of Chicago!
What was God thinking when He wrote Revelation and then subsequently allowed nuke capabilities held by:
NPT:
USA
Russia
UK
France
China
Non-NPT:
India
Pakistan
North Korea
Undeclared:

The Lord works in mysterious ways. These times will end.

China has to man up. There will never be a better time with America vastly overextended with its army unable to meet its recruiting goals. At last ordinary Whites have learned that the System loathes them and doesn’t deserve their sacrifice.
Reach out your yellow hand and take the apple of your eye. What can the dog eyes (their name for us) do? What dare they do? The capitalist swine have already sold you the rope. Time to use it.
Jarek,
The Chinese only bluster, it seems. They lose face*. This is the first correct move our State Department has engineered in years of my watching.
Veitnam,
Phillippines,
Formosa

All watching.

They are the Sick Man of Asia again. What a disgrace!
China needs to woman up. Can you imagine how much damage a billion China Dolls wearing pink pants suits could do? I mean, if one staggering drunk 80 year old can back down the most powerful man in all of China—.
Seriously – where is the mRNA die off? Source. Data. All of you seem to have bought the BS Health Ranger posts where there is no evidence that any of it it true. Looking through the comments, it appears JHK and this ditto crowd has created cult of personality that prevents the majority here to allow any truthful info entering.
But of course JHK is happy with your monthly Patreon transfers and keeps the BS flowing. Going to guess the majority of the crowd are at least Septuagenarian and haven’t connected with anyone much younger than them in quite some time. As for CRT and secondary schools – it just doesn’t exist. Trust me, my kids all went through Ann Arbor’s public school systems. If there was CRT you would see it there. Despite helping them with homework consistently over the last two decades, there was none. How would I recognize it? Well I do have a history degree from an Ivy League university obtained long before CRT existed in history departments where it is primarily used at the undergraduate but mostly upperclass and graduate levels.
Seriously – saw one commenter say he buys books but never reads. What a load of crap. This is a dark corner of the internet entrapping you in the cobwebs of fear and disinformation. Read, think, live. Bye.
The Global Elite thought of just about everything – except the Life Insurance industry. Deaths are up at a steady 20%. After the introduction of the Vax during the lockdown, the death rate was up 40% in working age people. Now that people are getting treatments again and aren’t at home and depressed, the death rate has fallen back to 20%.
Also, a few months ago, Karl Denninger noted that something very strange had happened with the BLS statistics on the number of people in the workforce. BLS statistics indicated that about 100,000 people had disappeared from the workforce–simply gone poof!–in the space of a few months. Karl noted when presenting this data that there are only three ways that a person could disappear from this count: be incarcerated or placed in a nursing home or die. If I remember right, the third possibilty was to leave the country and renounce your US citizenship.
Obviously, the number of people in the US workforce is fairly stable. Fairly predictable numbers of people enter the labor force at, I think, age 16, and a fairlly predictable number of people die or enter nursing homes (or prisons), or re-enter the labor force after being released from prison.
Denninger noted that the disappearance of about 100,000 people from the labor force in a matter of a few months was absolutely unprecedented–which he knows for sure, as he has maintained a dataset on this for around twenty years. And there is only one possible conclusion as to what happened to them: they’re dead.
Well said, evil one.
Wait. The increased death rate was only last year?
Is that what you’re saying, Jarek?
Since introduction of the Vax. Covid deaths were simply the rebranded Flu, the flawed or deadly regimens they put people through, and of course due to the complete social breakdown of the lockdown.
Altogether that upped the death rate among working age people forty percent. Now that things have returned to relative normal, the death rate among working age people is still up twenty percent. What could it be but the Vax?
Just to put those 40% and 20% figures in perspective: a 10% in the normal death rate happens every 200 years or so.
Wow GR, you are totally off the mark with that comment. Thanks for the ageist claim that most people here are Septuagenarians. Again, totally off the mark, what does age have to do with anything these days? It is the core beliefs and cutting through the bull crap of the MSM that is of primary importance.
Thanks again GR and good luck in finding your way to the “golden” truth.
GR: Go to BitChute and search: Edward Dowd. Mr Dowd was educated at Notre Dame and then spent a couple of decades in a high-flying Wall-Street career.
Then you’ll know that these mRNA gene-therapy clot shot death jabs foisted on billions via fraud are reaping souls as planned.
Been posted multiple times. Last stats showed the massive jump in all-cause mortality.
Ofc, those with at least two brain cells to rub together know you are posting this because the information is now gushing out of the proverbial faucet.
Too bad, so sad.
The die off will occur over years. It’s not an immediate gratification thing. The internet is dark because it is not illuminated with natural light like the outside physical world silly.
Bye Felicia
The big jump in deaths happened right after jab #4. Accumulation hitting the critical point. Could resemble a hockey-stick graph once the 4th jabs are more prevalent. Next six months will be interesting.

OK, lil’ gangstah.
@ Golden Road:
It’s been more than ten years since my youngest graduated from high school–so my last encounter with high schoo history nonsense predates CRT–but they were teaching some pretty fucked up history, even back then. My youngest was taught that the story of the first Thanksgiving was that the Pilgrims invited the Indians to the first Thanksgiving, feasted with them, and then killed them right there on the spot. High school history is notorious for being pretty heavy on the bullshit–and was, even in my day–but this was a new one on me.
Many working people tell me that CRT is constantly shoved down their throats in the workplace, and there are fairly frequent dust-ups on the Facebook Community pages (I am a member of community pages for two school districts) about the teaching of the gender-fluid agenda at the elementary level. I haven’t seen much on the CRT issue vis-a-vis the schools, though there is some argument about this on the community pages.
It was recently reported to me that there is a boy in the high school in the nearest town to me (a tiny town of about 2,000) who identifies as a girl and has been allowed to use the girls’ restrooms. This is in a town that barely acknowledged the existence of covid from the beginning, and completely disregarded shut-downs and mask mandates well into the fake pandemic. (The whole county mostly did the same.) So residents are displeased that the school is condoning a boy pretending that he’s a girl.
I’m sure JHK is rich as Croesus from this here lil’ blog.
What an active imagination you have.
Paula D:
But if Rhett is going to spin his pie fantasies in public he has to realize that some of us will speculate about his private life.
If not me..who? If not now….when?
Rhett:
Comparing society in the present to society in the past is an academic exercise, It is neither a fantasy nor is it indicative of my personal life.
1) It is my belief that our society and, therefore, our nation were better and stronger before the Rockefeller-led Women’s Lib (and its corresponding supply/demand ramifications in the labor market).
2) Women baking delicious fruit pies is symbolic of those better times because it was reality back then.
3) Women’s Lib has turned our society so upside down that now many women get immediately emotional, insulted, offended, defensive and resentful at the mere mention of baking a fruit pie while women in the past felt motherly loving pride at baking a delicious fruit pie for their men and for their children.
4) I make love to a wonderful, beautiful woman regularly. I love her. She does not bake fruit pies. She works.
5) My beliefs of society having gotten much worse over these past 50 years of non-gold-backed fiat Petro-Dollar wealth-looting by our “elite” is academic (i.e. considers neither my tummy nor my second head).
Again, I find it more productive to discuss the topics at hand rather than wildly speculate, with no information whatsoever, on belittling ad hom attacks of the commentator.
Thanks for making me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Your comments, Rhett, give me deja vu. Why would that be?
Why are there no comments from late last night to the present, 1:35 pm, Aug 3rd?
My mistake… never mind.
Are you Peter? Quo Vadis, Petra.
Wow, you made a mistake Q. Time to atone
Time travel has always fascinated me.
How are the markets doing tomorrow?
Is Piglosi still alive in the future world of tomorrow?
Is New York nuked? Philly?
Listen to the latest Podcast JHK just posted. It is a real doozy, covering a lot of good current topics of world affairs and our economy. Not much to disagree with, looking ahead to the next 20 years or so we are facing a bleak hellscape. Thanks a lot Lord Klausenschwab!
oh goodie, ok!!
Your reminder that the criminals behind the Corona Hoax did not take the clot shot.
https://twitter.com/backtolife_2023/status/1388567947904491522
NO,
I just want to make sure I’m drawing the right conclusion from your link. The first person who appears to be getting a shot actually isn’t because there is no needle on the hypodermic device.
Not sure what I’m supposed to gather from the Bill Gates shot other than that Gates desperately needs a new hair dresser.
Typical, a multi-billionaire yet he cannot afford a $3.95 jar of hair pomade and a pocket comb.
Bell,
National Lampoon once opined to a pic of Gates;
“Bill Gates is worth 8 Billion dollars…apparently a good haircut costs 9 Billion….” (paraphrased)
The person getting the shot isn’t Bill Gates. Look at the ears.
Do your mask straps NOT make your ears stick out?
Is that a serious question? Not that I wear a mask, but unless your ears are very bizarrely configured, wearing a mask does not make your ears stick out. No wonder you have trouble with serious stuff. Perhaps you are wearing a mask designed for a child?
Not to mention that the hair isn’t even the same colour.
G.A. – LMAO!!!
Now I am picturing some old fat dude with a tiny mask squeezing his head and making his ears poke out.
He looks like my late Irish grammaw, and he is such a misshapen blob it’s always hard to tell if it’s actually him.
Look at the ears. – GA
===========
I considered that Alba but then concluded it was the face mask loops that were pulling the ears out like cup handles. The same thing happens when I wear a mask. Go back and take another look and let me know what you think.
See, GA?
I could only get a mask to make my ears stick out if the mask (a) didn’t fit me or (b) because of (a) or because I’d had the thing on for a long time (this only happened to me once, on a train, with a totally useless cloth mask whose straps were too short) I had to move the straps from where they should be to the movable part of my ear, simply to provide some relief because the back crease of my ear – the bit that doesn’t move – was hurting from wearing a mask that was too right.
So, no, I don’t see. Also because I don’t see Bill Gates as the kind of person who’d find himself wearing a mask that didn’t fit him properly and whose straps didn’t stay where they were meant to.
When I put on reading glasses or sunglasses, my ears don’t stick out either.
And that’s before we deal with the observation that the hair above the ears is steel grey in one photo and grey-white in the other.
I can’t believe I’m even having this conversation.
The conclusion would be that when you see no needle, it further reinforces that what you are watching is fraudulent.
Theater for idiots.
Grainy video with bad lighting, and you can’t see a 25 gauge 12 mm needle? Colour me surprised. Of course, for the Gigantic-Brained One, Night Howler, this only re-inforces his already deeply-entrenched narrative bias. Everything is fake, and the sky is falling. Buk-buk-buk…
You have convinced me. Robert Malone and Luc Montangier were wrong.
LOL.
Redneck – why do you waste time on drivel like this when you’ve been asked multiple times to ‘debunk’ (which you must be desperate to do and amply able to do) Dr Chetty’s 100% successful treatment of his 7000 covid patients, which renders the ‘vaccines’ utterly unnecessary and therefore having an agenda that is not about health? At least not in a good way.
Go ahead China, start WWIII over the death of Nancy Pelosi. That would be one for the history books. Maybe they could hold her hostage and we could work out a real deal with the Chicoms and the Ruskies over her and Britney Griner as a package deal.
Pelosi is certainly no Nancy Reagan, nor is she akin to Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Here’s hoping she lives it up and enjoys her stay in splendor as a visitor of distinction. May the rockets red glare light the path of the runway as her jet departs!
A reminder to all the farmers and would be farmers out there…asphalt is the land’s last crop.
Good point, maybe and maybe not. If you bust it up enough do you think that the oil and other minerals could be extracted for future industrial purposes? Maybe some leachate will enter the soil that will make future crop yields through the roof?

Yep. Use cash whenever possible. They are already slowly eliminating cash machines/ATMs and human cashiers at stores here in Germany.
At my nearest corner shop they used to ask ‘cash or card?’ as you filled up your bag, right up until covid. Now they get the card machine ready without asking you, so I have to say ‘I’ll give you cash’ every time. Sometimes I add ‘use it or lose it’ for emphasis, but they’re generally about 20 and it simply does not compute.
GR…I think you’re probably right. A lot of Clusterfuckers are in their 70s and have followed the JHK blog for a long time. Hell, Jimbo’s in his 70s now for Chrissakes. Give the ol’ man a break. The longer he keeps on truckin’, the longer he’ll add to his amazing vocabulary and contribute, for better or worse, to rational discourse in this broken world. Jimbo and Q, of course.
I bet donuts to dollars there have to be some college aged “kids” that follow along with this blog. Law of averages and all would tend to imply that this should be the case.
CB81 a few years ago a kid from Amherst College showed up here, chimed in a bit; it seems he majored in ‘Environmental Science’ and couldn’t find a job. He claimed to have known Twiggly Puff (remember her?) It sounded like he was pretty beaten down with bullsh#t lefty college hate whitey propaganda — which led him to a dead end in life. The kid was beside himself. I took it upon myself to give the kid some advice “See here man, buck up, I know for a fact just south of you in Springfield, Mass, the RR was hiring, looking for young guys. Show up there, talk to the foreman, tell him you want to work. Those Rail Road jobs are good paying Union jobs.” We didn’t hear from him after that so I hope he took my advice.
where is TP now?
I hope he took my advice./ do not be silly. if he got that job he would have responded here.
China is pissed!
Piglosi is likely to soon be rooting around that big pig pen in the sky. Or at the very least the deep state will whisk her away to an undisclosed locale, never to be heard from again. I hear that Jeff Epstein’s old island is awfully nice this time of year.

On July 30, under the prior thread, I posted the following comment:
Peter barfed in a waste basket this morning. We’re lucky it wasn’t on the carpeted floor.
But on a side note:
My wife has a cousin Bob who is married to Phyllis. Phyllis has a brother (that would be Bob’s B-I-L). Whenever Bo and I would get together with Bob and Phyllis, our respective brothers/BILs would be our only topic of conversation.
I thought no one could top the stories about Peter but this other dude (don’t know his name) made Peter look normal. He (Phyllis’s brother) is bi-polar. I won’t even attempt to pass along the tales of his bizarre antics. Not long ago, 2-3 months I think, Phyllis put him in a nursing home. Last night we got word that he died there at age 63. I don’t understand what makes a mental case person die at an early age. Maybe Neurodoc can shed some light.
The name of the bi-polar person is Richard. My wife and I have been informed that a viewing and funeral are scheduled for this Thursday. We will attend. A copy of Richard’s obituary was provided along with very positive comments from life-long friends in both NJ and Calif. There were also a number of pictures from happier days boating, fishing, etc and one with his very beautiful former wife who also wrote a brief comment with a totally positive slant.
The take away from all this is that when someone dies all is forgiven… at least temporarily. To read the obit and comments from friends you would never know there was the slightest thing odd or “off” about Richard. There was one brief remark from a buddy about ‘getting calls in the middle of the night’ but those calls were always welcome because they were from Richard. I gather that Richard was smart and had a certain Charisma which allowed him to make big bucks in some area of financial sales.
There is a lesson in all this for me. If and when Peter precedes me in death (which appears likely even though I am six years his senior) I am going to have to bite my lip. Peter has or had a certain Charisma as well. He could be hilariously funny in a crude sort of way. My kids love their Uncle Pete dearly and so do a number of young people for whom Peter was selected as Godfather. And my long-suffering wife will cry uncontrollably when he passes. I am bracing myself for the moment.
Good points all. I am sure that even at Biden’s soon-to-be funeral the press and public will heap praise upon him claiming that he was an unparalleled statesman, one of the top 10 presidents this country has ever known, a true patriot, and that he loved his country and fellow man above everything else.
President Biden would not even make the Top Ten list since JFK was gunned down on Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas.
Quite the Family Circle you’ve got there Q. Probably better than most.
Nice sentiments, Q. When my mother’s side’s black sheep, her brother Dave, finally died, very few showed up and only his daughter spoke up for him. IMO he was only weird compared to their own weirdness, so I guess it took one to know one. He was very private in his old age but was always outgoing and gregarious when he was in public. He drove a bus in Omaha NE most of his adult life, so he definitely acquired a way with people. But he was fortunate to die at the relatively young age of 70, which is when I hope to go out as well. It’s definitely not going to be a world I want to live in any longer than that. The mice have issued a fatwa for me and evidently it will be via glue trap as payback my past transgressions. What a world!
70 is just getting started.
bob dylan is how old? joni mitchell? soros? munger?
Not for me.
It all seems to be going the way of the Schnabenklausians. At least as far as destroying The West. The $64 Question is: ‘Where do Russia and China stand’?
The opinion of one alt-right/alt-news, political wonk seems just as good as another. There are the pessimists (e.g. Brandon Smith) who never met a situation they couldn’t see as a win for the Cabal; and there are the optimists (e.g. Tom Luongo) who see the Cabal making loads of mistakes that will give Western Civ. an out. And lots of wonks in-between.
Personally, I think the over-throw of this whole Dark Time may just depend upon a present day version of ‘two little hobbits making their arduous way to Mount Doom’.

Why do Pelosi’s constituents even keep “electing” her? This is KKKalifornia, can’t they just do one of those recalls they always seem to hold?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s planned controversial stop in Taiwan prompted protests in her hometown of San Francisco, where anti-war activists and leaders of the city’s Chinese community demonstrated against the Democratic congresswoman’s trip.
On Monday, ahead of the visit, roughly 100 people gathered outside Pelosi’s office at the San Francisco Federal Building to urge her to cancel the stop on her Asia trip, which protesters said would unnecessarily inflame a “potential war” with China.
Demonstrators—who were seen holding signs that read “U.S. hands off Taiwan,” “Stop the provocations,” and “No war on China”—urged Pelosi to cancel the trip to Taiwan, which had not been confirmed at the time of the protest. They asked her to, instead, “focus on the real challenges of inflation, climate crisis and economic distress facing the American People.”
However, the pressure from American protesters did apparent little to change Pelosi’s mind. The House Speaker touched down in the capital of Taipei on Tuesday morning.
Julie Tang, a retired San Fransisco Supreme Court judge, told the San Francisco Standard that, as a longtime supporter of the House Speaker, she was “disappointed” about Pelosi’s trip.
“We have donated to her, we’ve supported her throughout these years, but we are so disappointed that what she’s doing is totally against the welfare and the well-being of the community—in particular Chinese Americans,” Tang said.
Tang added: “She does not listen to us. She’s going with the flow, going with pushing U.S. hegemony to contain China. For what? We don’t get anything out of it.”
Pelosi has large support from the tens of thousands of homeless vagrants living on the streets of SF. The 2 million illegals who live in her district are big supporters too.
Pelosi’s Face
The face that launched 10,000 sexually confused Wokesters on a quest to find partners with Monkeypox so they will die without having to see that face on TV one more time.
The face that launched a thousand shits. Did I quote that right?
I think 70 should be the mandatory retirement age of those in public service, no exceptions.
I know, right? I can’t believe that Pelosi is 82 years old, what a sow! Just give it up already and try to do something to enjoy the waning years of your life.
She’s probably not even human, some kind of alien cyborg or spawn of Satan, and will outlive all of us.
Could be there is nothing in there.
@ Amman:
I’ve known people like that: nothing in there. How do they live? I mean, how does one live without an animating spirit?
@ Amman:
Oh, duh! The live by feeding on the life force of others.
Not sure I want to go there.
Yeah she just built that $25 million mansion on the coast of Florida, you think she’d want to enjoy it in the few years she has left. Does anybody else find it interesting that these Big Dems Pols who shout the loudest about Climate Change and catastrophic sea level rise build the largest ‘Cottages’, closest to water’s edge. (How do they get insurance on them if sea level rise is a certainty? Insurance companies deal in odds.) Obama, Biden, Gore, Kerry, Pelosi … the list is long.
C’mon man. Nance is only a perky 82 YO. Feinstein will be 90 next year and her term ends in 2025. Feinstein is worth over a billion dollars. Let that sink in. She’s in touch with the people on the street in SF. Strom was in till 100. Potatohead is good to go for term two till 2028. He’ll only be 86 when he gets the boot.
What if cryogenics works? The horror, the horror.
No ageism for me. Whatever age they are at the end of one term.
“mandatory” I’ve had way much more than enough “mandatory”.
So here is a simple question:
How, using scientific method, did you arrive at 70?
Either you have numerous evidence-based reasons to back this up, or you’re pulling a number out of somewhere (I’ll leave the ‘somewhere’ to people’s imagination)
While I’m at it, regarding a Constitutional Amendment for term limits, where does it stop? Is is one person for 2 years? One person for 6 years? One person for 6 years in the House and either 6 or 12 more in the Senate?
Does the staff have term limits? They do the day-to-day running of these offices and make all the deals. Do they have term limits?
Do they have a bargaining unit? Now I’m opening it up to labor and contract law.
The staff will still be around, is there a budget limit on the staff? How about a limit to the size of the staff?
How is the staff, which passes from office-holder to office-holder, funded. What are their benefits? When can they retire as in at what combination of age and years of service?
Can a term-limited member of Congress become an unelected staff member after the ‘limit’ is reached? This would appear to be in line with whatever ‘term limits’ is supposed to be.
I don’t think people who propose ‘term limits’ as an Amendment to the Constitution have really thought it through.
This is going to turn into quite the lengthy Constitutional Amendment.
This will not satisfy because it is a discussion for 4 or 5 decades ago.
The terms are the limits. ReElect Nobody. The goal is to impress on these people that they must return to normal productive endeavors and function under the results of their leading. Take your helpers with you.
Saves a lot of bribery expenses.

Is the concept of “face” still prevalent in Asian culture? I ask this because XI and his minions have been rattling some pretty hefty sabers in regard to Pelosi’s trip. If she comes and goes and the words are mere bluffs, doesn’t XI ‘lose face” and possibly his job?
Yes. Just heard on CBS news jets are scrambling as we speak.

It’s an interesting result in the Kansas referendum, don’t you think?
What do you religious zealots think it means, and what might it bode for the mid-terms? Hmm?
Well, as a “religious zealot,” I guess it means that Americans are more concerned about being able to kill unborn children, when their imminent birth is inconvenient, than open borders, runaway inflation, botched. energy policies that’ll have them unable to heat their homes. this winter.
However, as a “religious zealot” I’m not really surprised, and with attitudes toward abortion like the above mentioned, I have no choice but to remain a RELIGIOUS ZEALOT
You haven’t really said what it means, though. You’ve jumped on the platitudinous tropes du jour of the right-wing is all.
Let me make it clear that I don’t condone abortion. If I (as the putative father) was in a position where it was an option being considered, I would NOT choose it. However, the choice of others is not mine to make.
Abortion is as old as humanity. Laws banning it outright (especially the ‘under no circumstances’ lot) won’t stop it from happening, but it will drive it underground and make it dangerous – again, like it used to be.
Can a person who politically believes in “small government” and “personal freedom” really argue for a state-level law that not only takes away that personal freedom but goes so far as to insert itself into the personal lives of its citizens? It sounds hypocritical to me.
Then there’s the other end of the equation – some ‘religious zealot’ legislature that removes that right to personal choice, that REQUIRES the pregnancy to be carried to full term, and then, once born, doesn’t give a rat’s arse whether the child will be cared for by its coerced parent? A poor single woman on minimum wage, living in a trailer with her mother & 5 younger siblings, for example, and has no health coverage. Will the State that insisted on that child being born then carry the responsibility for its care? You know the answer…
So, the Kansas referendum result is, to my mind, a clear indication that a “flyover” state, chock with right-wing & religious zealots (2020 election showed Trump with 770,000 votes v. Biden 570,000) may find that enough actual Republicans (as opposed to Trump-cultists) will turn on the GOP on the abortion issue and “toss the bums out”. It only requires enough sufficiently offended, thinking Republican women who give a shit, to do it.
@ Redneck Liberal:
Your argument that abortion should be legal because, “Abortion is as old as humanity,” and “Laws banning it outright…won’t stop it from happening,” is a poor one. Murder, rape, robbery, and petty theft are also as old as humanity, as are the laws against them. Laws manifestly do not stop them from happening, and never have. Nevertheless, murder, rape, robbery, and theft remain illegal and have been viewed as crimes requiring punishment by every human society down through the ages. Laws against certain crimes are required for the precise reason that they continue to be committed. The day that we won’t need laws against these deeds will be the day when they never, ever occur at all.
The argument that we should legalize abortion so that women can be provided with safe abortions is like saying we should legalize shoplifting for the safety of the shoplifter, or rape for the safety of the rapist, since we wouldn’t want him or her to get hurt. The person they are raping or robbing (or some other person who is defending them, or a cop attempting to stop or apprehend them) might, after all, try to hurt them. Therefore we should legalize all crime for the safety of the criminal.
Abortion is not government “inserting itself into the personal lives of its citizens.” It is murder and is no more a private matter than any other murder.
No one requires a woman to get pregnant. Pregnancy is not an airborn pathogen. You can’t pick it up at Walmart from standing too close to someone in the check-out line, handling the vegetables, or from the toilet seat in a public restroom. Pregnancy is also nearly 100% preventable.
The poor in the US do have health insurance through Medicaid, which is absolutely free or nearly so, and easily accessible almost everywhere. Welfare in the US is also pretty generous. When you add together the cash benefit, food stamp benefits, free medical care, and often free housing, a welfare mom’s income often comes out about the same as that of the median wage-earner.
While laws against crimes of all kinds are often an integral part of various religious traditions, they are also everywhere acknowledged as practical necessities to civil society. You are implying that we should not have laws against murder, rape, and robbery because such laws are somehow “tainted” with religion.
Yes, it’s plain as the nose on your face that you’re a “religious zealot”. Hardly a post from you goes by that doesn’t invoke a picture of angels dancing on the head of a pin.
RL, I view all this as signs of the times of a collapsing Western civilization. These type events happen in cycles. A republic is born – as Ben Franklin I believe it was said “if you can keep it” – and republics only last around 250 years on average. Assuming the US is an average republic, according to historical statistics we’ve hit our expiration date. Our collapse and disintegration into a collection of separate states is inevitable after the dollar is gone and we can’t pay for any imported goods. The final and only question will be – can these states here get along with each other, or will we be in constant warfare as old Europe used to do? Will we go back to the behavior of the natives here who engaged in constant tribal warfare? Probably…….
Since resource shortages will be a given, yes, I’d say tribal warfare – at least until population numbers are drastically reduced – will probably be on the menu.
Interesting to see Kansas, a notoriously hard core right wing state, swing a little more liberal with the passage of time. The youngn’s there – like everywhere else – are becoming more urban, and thus liberal, over time. I could definitely see KS, NE, and OK banding together based on social values and economic issues.
Oklahoma will not divorce Baja Oklahoma.

Yes, TX is like the great Dark Star of the midwest. It will likely consume everything around it, but that’s good. The midwest will need some protection against the predations of the former empire in the northeast, which, stripped of its food supplies, will likely be sending zombie hordes west like a great locust plague. All that worthless money won’t save them.
Yes, Woodchuck – the sky is falling – it always has been and always will be to a certain small set within society. You’re in that set.
Actually it is of very little interest since the vote was to keep the status quo. If you expected them to vote against the status quo you were off base to begin with. The “industry” is very lucrative since there is the whole “tourism” component. Not even to speak of the multiple millions of dollars that poured in from out of state to ensure the status quo remained. I continue to think it means that you are indeed a media matters activist tho
Huh? Are you saying that Kansas is exploiting its abortion regs as a Tourist Attraction? Please, elaborate.
@ Redneck Liberal:
Kansas is not really the ultra-conservative state that most consider it to be. It was indeed ulra-conservative and staunchly Republican 30-40 years ago (when I lived there).
The thing you have to remember about Kansas is that, like many other red states, the large population centers–the cities–control the vote. The main difference between Kansas and other red states is that the rural population is very thin. The rural towns are small, few, and far-betweeen compared to other states–so much so that a drive across Kansas presents a flat, endless view of nothingness. (In summer, make the drive at night. It’s hot as blue blazes and there’s nothing to see anyway.)
Over the past 30 years, the few cities in Kansas have shifted strongly towards the left, albeit a RHINO version of the left.
The largest population center in Kansas is Johnson County, which is within the greater Kansas City area (of KCMO). Johnson County consists of a whole bunch of very affluent suburbs and several municipalities. The whole county is basically “Doctor and Lawyer Land,” along with banking, real estate, financial services, and many large corporations.
If you think about it, all these lines of employment are little more than subsidiaries of Dot Gov–which is what leftism is, in essence.
There has also been a great increase in government employment in Johnson County over the past 30 years. (Show me a liberal and, nine times out of ten, I’ll show you a government employee/retiree.)
One of the other major population centers is Wyandotte County (Kansas City, Kansas). Urban KCK used to be predominantly black, but I think it’s now very heavily Hispanic–so that would be mostly Democrats. But there has been much suburban expansion of KCK over the past 30 years, and I am uncertain about their political leanings.
Then you have Topeka (the state capital), which is wall-to-wall government employees. I am completely unfamiliar with Wichita.
But Kansas is no longer all that red.
I once drove through Kansas. That’s all I know about it from personal experience (as you say, “a drive across Kansas presents a flat, endless view of nothingness”) so thank you for your analysis.
Indeed, a look at the 2020 electoral map shows the north-eastern area to be blue, but the rest is red – from blood read to crimson.
But your argument seems to boil down to “there are too many liberals!” I thought that democracy was the rule of the majority. Sorry about that.
@ Redneck Liberal:
As an New Zealander, you are perhaps unaware that the US is not a democracy, but a republic. The purpose of setting up the political organization as a republic versus a democracy is to ensure that the majority cannot trample the rights of minorities. A democracy, to use a well worn illustration, is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
The abortion issue illustrates this well: it’s okay to kill children if the majority says so.
The trouble with the population centers in Kansas, as with most other bastions of liberalism, is that there are too many people on the government payroll–which is to say, too many grifters and parasites.
You have again out-facted his Millennial snark again.
And there will be no reply to your post.
There was a book called What’s The Matter With Kansas back in the Bush years that pointed out that Kansas used to be a very radical state.
Not fake Woke shit, real radical farmer-against-the-banks organizing.
The banks were reined in for a time, so the farmers grew more Republican, apparently not realizing that it was FDR who passed the banking regulation laws.
The mid terms where? NZ? Australia? You’re having midterm elections too?
What a dumb question.
It tells me that people are becoming more bi-partisan, and that’s good news.
D’OH!! NO – I meant to write “NON-PARTISAN”
And that is def good news.
@Redneck Liberal.
I agree with woodchuck above. Once American society was based on the assumption that “we’ll err on the side of caution. Now the slogan, along with Jim’s (America: Where everything goes, and nothing matters), is “It’s my body and I’ll do what I want with it” Unless of course it’s for government mandated “health reasons”
As far as I can ascertain, no one – absolutely NO ONE – has been held down and vaccinated against their will. Sorry if your job was less important to you than believing Night Howler et al, or feeding the kids, or paying the mortgage, but if that’s what you believe is most important, follow your conscience, for sure – but be prepared for the consequences.
The concept of self-determination remains in force here, excp[et where nut job religious zealots (politicians, mainly) impose their hide-bound opinions on others.
Yeah it’s not coercion or blackmail to fire someone for not getting jab and therefore not being able to pay their mortgage, rent, or feed their family.
Just fuck off you moron.
It is mind blowing that he can’t see that his smug self-righteous belief that people should be forced into choosing between bodily autonomy and good health, or paying the rent, is not a free choice.
It is Sophie’s Choice.
There you go…the REAL MaryQueer. You repeat back to me precisely what I proposed but CHOOSE to read it differently.
Then a ‘Just fuck off you moron’?
Ha! That was once sufficient to be banned on this board. Talk about a drive-by poo-fling, with ad hominem for good measure. You hit all the boxes there.
Yet you were banned multiple times, and Mary has never been banned.
Too bad, so sad.
Goooood Morning, CFN!
Situational Awareness, this AM reports highjinks occurring in Atlanta Ga;
ACTIVISTS LOOT ATLANTA TOW TRUCK: Far Left activists associated with Defend the Forest movement in Atlanta, Georgia, looted a tow truck, removed its doors, slashed its tires, smashed the windshield, and spray painted “ACAB” (All Cops Are Bastards) and other slogans* on a truck sent to clear the area of activists’ vehicles. (AC: Activists remain engaged in the Defend the Forest movement, which seeks to block the development of a “cop city” tactical training area for the Atlanta Police Department. Vandalism and property destruction is baseline activity. – M.S.)
*Other slogans reported;
ACMSF (All Cops mommas so fat…)
ACCC (All Cops Chug Cock)
ACBRAS (All Cops Be Racist And Shit)
FTCATHTRIO …well, you know what that one means….
Good morning! Ah, so essentially the far left activists will not be arrested and if they are they will be released almost immediately. The cops if directed will definitely protect the far left activist should they riot, etc. However, the cops will dispense with full fury and maximum harm against anyone who believes in the constitution, the 2nd amendment, America as founded in 1776, etc. PoPo no good
Michelle Malkin participated in a Back the Blue rally. The Antifa showed up and stomped them. The police were ordered to stand down and let them be stomped. So what did they do? They stood down and let their supporters be stomped.
Expect nothing from the police. They follow orders. If they don’t, they’ll be reprimanded or fired. Their job is to support those who sign their checks. Keeping public order is defined by the check signers.
Walter B calls them the Paycheck & Pension boys. I would add the ‘OT Pay’ boys to that. In this town, on their day off, cops volunteer for traffic duty on construction sites — minimum $125 per hour (paid for by the construction company, ultimately billed to the state) for 8 hours. Cops double their yearly salary in this manner.
Ah yes, I do indeed remember that very well. And what a slap in the face for her and her supporters and all of the people that came to that rally to support the police. Have you noticed that you don’t really hear much about “Back the Blue” anymore? And at this point, who in their right mind would want to be a police officer? I have noticed that even officers of color shall we say are not immune to vitriol, disciplinary action, and worse should they actually neutralize for lack of a better word a criminal with dark colored skin who can be construed as a victim. tucson always manages to say things that get me stirred up but that for sure is one thing he definitely gets right when he says that you are your own rescue, ain’t nobody comin to help basically.
“Michelle Malkin spoke alongside a former Klan lawyer and several prominent white nationalist propagandists at a three-day conference in Tennessee in mid-November, Hatewatch has learned.
Malkin, who most recently hosted the show “Sovereign Nation” on Newsmax TV, was one of nearly a dozen speakers at American Renaissance’s annual gathering from Nov. 12-14. The think tank – which bills itself as a “race-realist, white advocacy organization” – holds the event each fall in a state park about 35 miles from downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Throughout the years, Jared Taylor, the organization’s longtime head, has invited an array of neo-Nazis, white nationalists, Klansmen and other prominent figures in the American and global racist right.”
A very nice lady other than that, and while LOOKING like a black person, she has the title of “Hispanic”, or “Honourary White” I guess.
You’re quite the racist now eh?
She’s of Fillipino descent, ok? And she has admitted the United States must remain essentially White.
She’s a good one, Red. A REAL good one.
“However, the cops will dispense with full fury and maximum harm against anyone who believes in the constitution, the 2nd amendment, America as founded in 1776, etc.”
Huh? How many J6 ‘peaceful tourists’ with bear spray and other offensive weapons were met with “full fury and maximum harm”? However, I guess those morons weren’t REALLY defending the Constitution etc – they were gulled fools who were the tools of The One who was seeking to do exactly that. I think they were treated with great civility, in the circumstances, but they had the most effective camouflage – they were (generally) White.
Right, you mean the tourists whom the Capitol police invited in? Those tourists? Yep, exactly my point. Why invite someone in if they are not supposed to be there any way. oh right. gotta make a scene sorta like a movie
I truly think that people who think J6 was an insurrection might be functionally cognitive challenged. Because it’s so beyond laughable.
Mary, agree.
There is something very, very wrong with people who can watch cities burning and call it “peaceful protests” and then turn around and watch a demonstration against a stolen election an “insurrection”.
He is literally programed by the media.
Oh, I missed the part where he said they were treated well because they were white.
Yeah, right.
The whole damn city burned in May, but the reason political prisoners are rotting in prison now is because they are white.
I thought it was okay to “CC”? (Laughs
AOC: Alexandria Ocasio-Copout (for fake non-handcuffed arrests)
So what what are youse doing?
Tucker went into extreme conspiracy theory last night anent Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. He admitted it might be just utter incompetence and narcissism. But there seems to be a pattern: Wherever these people go, ruin follows. They sent Kamala Harris to Ukraine to supposedly broker a peace. But she just cackled a lot and said Ukraine has to join NATO.
Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan may be the same thing, the difference being is that China is in on it. This will give them the pretext, the casus belli, to invade Taiwan. Hopefully that will be the extent of it. But you have the Administration admitting to the one China idea, with Taiwan as some kind of special case like Hong Kong used to be. But there is a treaty on the books, and Joe Biden himself said that we will defend Taiwan with military force – which we are not ready to do and which the war gamers say we will lose. Could this be the final plot to bring down the United States – which obviously they intend to do one way or another?
Agree, it’s a setup. And everyone following the plane flight like WW3 hanging in the balance, but nothing was hanging yesterday. Why are people so gullible. But couldn’t it be to keep peace (covertly give them Taiwan), keep the debt unpaid and goods flowing?
I’m reading a book you might like, “Epic Survival” by Matt Graham. He spends much of his life living in the Utah canyon country in caves or simple shelters. He has much to say about running barefoot or in yucca or rubber sandals. Track shoes cause injury or lead to the ruin of the joints. We need that impact!
Crazy? He ran the Pacific Coast Trail in record time but didn’t sigh the last log book in order to keep the purity of what he had done pure. So why did he sign any of them? Some conflict there. He admits he’s far from perfect in regards to people and interacting with society.
Studied running and lifestyle with the Tarahumara who called him the White Tarahumara. The old men can still run. They take of their sandals sometimes for the good of their feet and legs, he says.
He denies that being a hunter gatherer is an easy or simple life. One has to always be aware and working. No 16 hours here. Of course it’s different if you’re with a whole group of people. There was some specialization and multiplication of effort even at this simple stage. Living alone is unnatural. Ishi – a master of survival – was run down physically, and risked everything to steal eggs from Whites. Thus he was caught. Of course he may have been run down emotionally and spiritually as well.
He enjoyed civilization and its ease. He was able to focus on his crafts. He never wanted to go back. But of course, why would he? His people had been all killed. His bows were only 30 pounds or so. And he wasn’t a great shot. But his stalking ability made up for all that. He didn’t need a strong bow or to be a really good shot since he could get so close to the deer.
He was short but well muscled. He could have pulled something much stronger.
Nice, thank you. I’ll have to check it out!
I do think some of the difficulties Matt or Ishi (thats a good story, nice) faced alone, on the fringes of the modern world, are mitigated by having the whole tribe group, who can specialize food acquisition projects, etc…and also mitigated by a long tradition of the lifestyle in a large open territory. There is even a kind of agriculture going on often with hunter/gathering where food sources are encouraged a bit… burning, dropping seeds, etc.
As you said.
With the tribe and ancestral territory, I’m sure it’s a lot of work, but varied, engaging, health-promoting work.
I also like how Tucker pointed out to everyone that indeed China is a hyper nationalistic ethnostate that specifically works for the interests of the Han Chinese. Apparently the Han are some of the only people on the planet that can have their own entire state and country. So who exactly is going to fight for the United States? The United States doesn’t represent the interests of anyone. It’s all just business and money presumably i guess. I also like how he pointed out that whites have no real reason to want to fight for the US since the gov makes it clear that white people are scum and deserve oblivion.
I think Tucker is so careful and no doubt he has to be. But I do think that the Biden regime’s sole purpose is to ensure the complete destruction and erasure of the US. The regime makes it clear each and every day that they hate this country so it isn’t clear what other conclusions could be drawn?
“I also like how Tucker pointed out to everyone that indeed China is a hyper nationalistic ethnostate that specifically works for the interests of the Han Chinese.”
You LIKE that Tucker said that? I can only infer that you (and he) think that the US should be similarly organized, though your ‘ethnostate’ will be white & Christian, naturally. Considering the hard time everyone around here gives the “Chicom” and its ‘social credit’ system, you might understand how confusing this post is.
” Biden regime’s sole purpose is to ensure the complete destruction and erasure of the US. The regime makes it clear each and every day that they hate this country so it isn’t clear what other conclusions could be drawn?”
A very bold and all-encompassing statement of utter bullshit. How about some facts as to this “hate this country” and “complete destruction and erasure” rather than bald-faced opinions with no supporting evidence?
Why would I share evidence with someone who doesn’t even know what evidence is?
Is he also a Russian Agent, Rednut?
“Dr. Anthony Fauci is not happy that some people still won’t “adhere to public health commonsense measures” regarding COVID-19.
In an interview with Katie Couric, Fauci talked about his recent episode with the virus and his frustration with those who have not masked up and taken many boosters to fight it.”

Sure, you want to make your own decisions on your own life and health … but do you really want to piss off this little psycho?
China usually doesn’t issue threats, so we assumed that when they did they would not be empty threats.
But they were.
OK, that’s weird. What was up with that?
I heard that Pelosi was swimming in Chinese money, like Biden, but then someone else said, no, that was Feinstein.
In any case, we know for sure that Biden is swimming in Chinese money, so what was up with him sending Pelosi on a military plane surrounded by two aircraft carriers and fighter jets?
I am starting to think that Xi is on some sort of plan with the US, but I don’t know what.
Maybe it is a plan to lower the standard of living in the US, the way they used Russia to lower the standard of living in Europe.
China has no reason to invade Taiwan and they haven’t done it for 73 years, and this entire charade never mentioned a damn thing about Taiwan or the Taiwanese.
What did they think about it? You would think that with the Mighty Wurlitzer singing about their “vibrant democracy” they might take a moment to find out what the people thought.
I never knew before this kerfuffle that there were indigenous people on that island who were displaced by the nationalist Chinese moving in in 1949. Huh, weird. We hear all about the Tibetans and the Uighyurs, but not a damn thing about whatever those people are called.
Anyway, this was a big drama and so it had to have a reason. What was the reason?
I read that stock prices and chip futures dipped yesterday as a result of the Pelosi visit. How about this for a theory? She did it knowing that prices would decrease. Her husband sold a bunch of chip stocks before the trip, now they will buy a bunch up during the dip. Totally planned, and as a result they walk away with another cool and easy $12 million net profit.
As you know, East Asians are among the most racist people in the world. You cannot imagine how little they think of the people of Southeast Asia – or maybe you can because I just said you know. I don’t know if you know or not. But it’s true.
The indigenous people of Taiwan are Southeast Asian types, more brown than yellow!, perhaps related to the people of the Phillipines. They have enclaves on the eastern side of the mountainous Island, and play little part in its national life.
“…most racist people on earth…” You got that right. I lived in Japan many years, learned the language, adhered strictly to their etiquette, and it got me zilch. I was looked at like a trained monkey, usually unconsciously by a deeply-brainwashed race.
I find the Chinese much less racist than the Japanese or Koreans, but that may be because I am a whitey and they still have a peculiar admiration for what western civ has put together.
Having to deal with the omnipresent reality of being “The Beast from Planet X” eventually turned me right off to living in Japan, although I had a comfortable, well-paid existence there. One of my old Vancouver associates, also a video artist, has been trying to make a living with his free-lance videography for over 30 years. Married to a local, with children. But he has ended up doing most of his work as a stringer for foreign news organizations, or for foreign-funded NGOs. NHK cut him off from any work because “…he did not present Japan in a correct manner”.
It’s awful.
Speedy. Didn’t “The Beast From Planet X” take place in Mexico?
Also, in ‘The Naked and the Dead’ Mailer has Japanese soldiers referring to Americans as “White Mice”.
I think you captured part of it when you said that this China thing is meant to lower standards of living in the US. Now China has reasons to do a million different things. What if they decide to stop sending medicine? Most of the medicines that are used in the US are made in China. And that is just one thing.
bring it on as it is inevitable.
True. But a transition would be much better for everyone than an abrupt disruption and change. Either way I know we will not have a choice but still, just sayin
They look to the Chinese model of digital existence.
Looks like she might be stocking up for another “night on the town” with Hunter and his gal-pals: (Watch for videos to come on a laptop near you.)
Joe Biden’s daughter-in-law, with Secret Service protection in tow, was seen buying entering and leaving a cannabis dispensary in California, according to the Daily Mail.
Melissa Cohen, who is married to Biden’s son Hunter was leaving a Malibu dispensary called 99 High Tide with a “small unidentified purchase.”
Although cannabis is legal in California, it remains illegal at the federal level. The issue is not whether Cohen consumes marijuana, but the apparent use of a federal secret service team to protect the transaction seems a bit much, especially in view of the fact that Biden has not moved on his promise to decriminalize cannabis and free non-violent pot prisoners.
The obituary vs the truth:
The obituary is a summary of the wonderfulness of the life of someone who has recently passed (‘passed’ being a more gentle word we use because ‘died’ seems so harsh). It lists the pertinent facts such as date and place born, schools attended, degrees and notable accomplishments achieved, organizations associated with, names of surviving children, grand children, spouse(s?) and, perhaps, cause of death so long as negative inferences cannot be drawn from it (HIV/MonkeyPox). There is never an unkind word. Ditto for the hushed conversations among attendees at the wake. Nary a negative memory of the departed.
This is all as it should be I suppose. We know this intuitively. Time must pass. The body must cool in its final resting place until survivors are comfortable mentioning the true imperfect nature of the recently departed. Even then only the few who lived for years or decades under the same roof could know the truth.
You may have noticed that Bill Russell (famous B-ball player) died recently at a ripe old age. And he has been all but sainted in the press. Only in the distant future might we learn that he was startlingly imperfect. That is only a guess. I have no more information than you.
Thus do I mull attendance at bi-polar Richard’s wake this evening.
The fact that someone has “left us” is another gentle way of implying death.
Enjoy the photo albums, video, montages, or whatever else they have on display memorializing Richard’s life. I always find those to be pretty interesting and entertaining, to say the least.
The New York Times maintains a very extensive file system of obituaries for famous people, constantly updating them in preparation for the time that the person actually does die. Then it is quickly edited and ready to go on the wire moments after announcement of the death.
OMG! My wife has just made a major faux pas. We had agreed that we would NOT be taking Peter with us to the wake this evening but Bo had to go and mention it. Peter does not even know that such a person as bi-polar Richard exists. But as I have mentioned before, Peter LOVES wakes and funerals. It gives him a chance to schmooze and chat with people and pass himself off as a successful businessman and overall normal person. He will wear his expensive Rolex prominently albeit set to the wrong time, not by a minute but by hours. If asked about college he will say he holds an Associate’s degree in Marketing from WVU. This is an element of the lore he has surrounded himself with for the past 50 years. The truth is he attended school for less than 3 full semesters to avoid the draft and was tossed out of two colleges with a combined 1.25 GPA.
It was at just such an occasion that Peter came with us to a memorial party for Linda, a friend of Bo’s who died four years ago. Peter didn’t know Linda from Adam (or Eve) but he can NOT pass up a funeral. It was at this party in remembrance of Linda that Peter met Cookie the real estate agent who ultimately was responsible for Peter FINALLY selling his house. She had to drive him like a lion tamer with a chair in one hand and a whip in the other to do what was necessary to sell his house. She declared that she had never met or experienced anyone quite like Peter.
This was all before Peter nearly died from his heart issues in Florida and subsequent decline into dementia. But now we will have to watch Peter like a hawk lest his pants fall on the floor or a turd rolls out on the carpet in front of the casket.
Maybe he will meet a nice lady at the funeral that he can shack up with. From what is said, funerals are right up there with weddings for “hook-up” events. This would be an appropriate way to have things turn out to your advantage, much like Peter meeting the real estate agent at his last wake.
Peter sounds like quite the catch, and he could find someone to dote on him with mothering instincts. It sounds like he pretty much had Cookie smitten, no doubt this can happen again.
Smitten?
Driving him with a whip and a chair and declaring him a unique person? That sounds like a polite way to say “He’s batshit crazy” to me.
Kind of like you do at a funeral. “They were so unique!”
What woman doesn’t want a turd roller?
Undertaker to the grieving wife: “Please consider New Pitts Mortuary for your funeral needs. After all, we put the “fun” in “funeral”!”
Make sure Peter is wearing his Depend Q. That will hopefully take care of any untoward items that could roll around and create chaos at the wake. Don’t let him wander either. A leash would likely be distasteful for such an event so you are going to have to be on your toes more than usual. Have a coffee beforehand, etc.
“but he can NOT pass up a funeral.”
ahahahahaha ahahahaha
lol
I’m thinking of a hardened turd ball falling, knocking and rolling on wood floor in a moment of silence.
This might be your funniest post ever – hahahahahaha!
Who was the Bush associate whose Skull & Bones name is Turd Blossom?
I have a relative like that. She loved funerals. She was so happy at my father’s funeral. She even brought funeral loving friends to share in the good times.
Of course that’s part of my tradition – the famed Irish Wake. But this wasn’t that by any means. That I could respect.

Your real name wouldn’t be Finnegan would it?
Is the Shakira tax fraud case shaping up to be the next Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial? It is alleged that she may face up to eight years in jail due to tax fraud in Spain. She is accused of defrauding the Spanish treasury out of a fortune over a three-year period from 2012 to 2014, to the tune of 12 million pounds sterling.
My message to her, don’t worry, if you need a safe haven you are more than welcome to crash in my guest bedroom for a while. You will be well taken care of and the long arm of the law will not be able to reach you.
Of course, Shakira defrauded the Spanish Govt. It’s just like her and it’s just her thing, ok? It’s got nothing to do with the broke-ass gov. that is the Spanish Government.
What happened to all the gold, silver, jewels, and other New World treasures that the Spanish treasury obtained as a result of Columbus’ and other explorer conquests? You’d think that should have been enough wealth to last them forever.
Cowbell, Soviet Russia ended up with most of the treasure.
The aid the Soviet Union gave to the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War was not gratis; Russia expected to be paid back. At the same time the Spanish govt in Madrid was worried that the gold reserves would fall into the hands of Franco. No problemo (said Stalin) why not just send your gold & silver reserves to Moscow for safe keeping. So at the end of 1937 400 years of New World treasure was loaded onto ships and floated to Leningrad. What do you know, Soviet economists determined the value of the precious metals from Spain pretty much equaled the sum Spain owned Russia for military aid during the 1936-1939 war — consider the bill paid in full.
And that was the last anybody saw or heard about Spanish treasure mined on Mexico, Bolivia and Peru 1530 – 1830.
Very smart on behalf of the Russians. I hope that the Spanish thought that expense of the civil war was all worth it in the end. Wonder who we are going to have help us out when the US is embroiled in another civil war? Will probably be just every man / every country for them self at that point.
Yes yes, BRH. Stalin’s quip was “That’s the last they’ll ever see of this gold” when the Republican bullion arrived in Moscow.
That is a different story than I heard.
I heard that the Spanish royals blew through their riches and more, because they borrowed money with their gold and silver as collateral.
They went bankrupt a long time before the Spanish-American war “freed” their remaining colonies by turning them over to the USA.
That probably happened too Paula. By 1898 the Spanish Empire was pretty moribund. And all that bullion arriving in Madrid in the 16th, 17th & 18th centuries meant that Spain didn’t have to developed its industry like France, Great Britain and Germany did. Spain was a backward country into the modern era (which was part of the charm that lured in Dos Passo, Hemingway, Orwell, Malraux and so many others)
It is my understanding that Queen Isabella gave all of the Spanish riches as a reward to Bugs Bunny.
@ BackRowHeckler:
Trading off “400 years of New World treasure” in the HOPE of gaining the rulership of Spain seems like madness to me. (And I notice that Franco’s faction won anyway.)
Does the power to rule country reallly have such a high value? The State system is basically a mechanism whereby the ruling class siphons off a nation’s wealth on a continual basis over generations, so there’s definitely some bucks in the deal–and i suppose considerable prestige. But if it was me (and I were a crook) I would transport the gold to my Swiss bank account, leave my resignation letter on my desk, along with a congratulatory letter to Franco on his victory, buy a small tropical country, and hop on the next plane out of town.
Since I would doubtless not have been the only one entertaining such a scheme, it may be that Franco was not the only one whose hands they feared the gold falling into. Still, if the reasoning was, “Somebody might steal it, so let’s give it to Stalin,” this seems like a bad idea.
Maybe there is some insight to be gained here about the madness of rulers and would-be rulers–and ideologues–maybe even for our time. Maybe this headlong flight into death, destruction–and ruin–is pure madness–just some kind of delerium of hatred and destruction that overtakes mankind (or some people) from time to time.
Maybe our rulers–along with a large segment of the population, are thinking, “This place, and most of the people in it, is a dump. Let’s burn it to ashes.”
In such times, it seems to occur to only a few people to restore honesty and decency and build something of beauty, at least in whatever small sphere they can command–admittedly a difficult undertaking when they’re surrounded on every side by viciousness and ruin.
Anyway, I’m leaning more and more towards thinking that the present situation is a suicide march–which seems to be a cyclical thing with humans–as if the generality of people and their rulers have decided that the world they’ve built is too ugly to let live any longer.
Trials and executions are a hollywood notion. I also believe think mainstream America, or what’s left of it, will do uprisings. I figure if they did did not rise up way back when, they won’t rise up now or later. Grim and bear it.
(Will not)
Maybe this time it’s the mainstream women who will have to do the uprisings, todays males are more interested in gaming and in being comfortable. Imagine we take away the average suburban woman’s lifestyle and plunge her into third world type living conditions. These women suddenly find they will be living without reliable electricity and within a car culture partly broken down due to lack of fuel and parts. They might have to go about with no makeup and wearing old clothing. A lifestyle without modern conveniences like clothes dryers, garbage disposals, trash compactors, air conditioning etc. A life that includes backyard compost piles. “Modern woman” then goes batshit crazy along with countless tens of millions of other women, and they get out in the streets and start marching with the aim to kick some asses.
Keith Richards describes in his autobiographjy just how terrifying mobs of out of control females can be on the extrememly rare times this actually happens. Once he was “attacked” by a mob of teenage girls who literally smothered him to the point of unconsciousness. He woke up with some police standing around him, they’d removed the crazy teenagers off his body so he could breathe. I’m old enough to remember all the commotions around the Beatles and the Stones. Police and law enforcement are used to dealing with guys rioting and causing mayhem. But how to deal with mobs of millions of hysterical females all on the same page, way beyond the reasoning stage, and ready to crush some opposition?
Males in law enforcement or in the military will still be reluctant to attack a woman. They’ll stand down. The ball’s in your court ladies. You’ve produced capable heroes before like Joan of Arc. Y’all have the real power – feminine power – to change things. Us guys usually always back down when a fight with a woman gets physical. We’re not wired to do that.
So hows this for a future fantasy – why not? – I see predicitions in here running wild and all over the place anyhow. Here’s one more.
No, that’s a good one. The wilder, the better. All kinds of crazy sh#t is happening anyway. I mean, did you ever think you’d see a full 4 star US Navy male admiral walking around the office in a skirt lol?
As a young EM, I used to hold naval officers in the highest regard.
Well … at least they won’t have to quit baking their men and children delicious, from-scratch fruit pies. They already did that decades ago.
Dear Europe, What is more important: food and warmth or design and technology? – A Russian Writer, July 2022
Dear Russian Writer: No doubt, it has to be the design and technology for us. Without design and technology we are nothing. After all, we didn’t invent the Bauhaus movement for our health. Screw life, death, and comfort of modern conveniences, those are so overrated. We need the latest and greatest cutting edge technology to track our every movement and control our lives. We also need buildings that look increasingly more like prison cells, all in the name of modern design and energy efficiency to save our Mother Earth! -The European Council of Elder Statespersons
You made an interesting mess out of a simple rhetorical question. Anyway, without design we have no aesthetic not to mention ways to simplify living. I agree that it’s gone way past that. Europe trains people for twenty years to carve expensive glass. But who will care about that with no electricity? (That was rhetorical BTW). It’s interesting that you roll Bauhaus into your criticism. I think we need a similar seminal movement today that can create a new template for lower energy living.
There you go guy. I just responded to your mess with a mess of my own.
It seems as though “lower energy living” is to come upon us one way or the other, and whether we like it or not. The problem that nobody will adress is the fact that people are physically addicted to high energy living. Removing the energy will be akin to removing heroin suddenly from a junkie, or suddenly removing alcohol from a bad alcoholic. We’re talking about very high levels of stress due to the following:
having no central heat and air – wood, coal, or oil heat only due to unreliable electric grid. Fans are the only cooling in summer. Makeup on women won’t work when it’s hot. Fugget about it!
no garbage disposals – you must use a backyard compost pile instead. Or give it to somebody who has chickens next door. There’s no resources for sewage treatment plants to be processing kitchen waste. It’s only poop that’s a public health hazard, controlling poop will be one legitimate concern of the gov’t at that time.
no trash compactors
use bedpans for peeing – water is very expensive, as is everything else. Save on water bills and toss pee into your garden – it’s great fertilizer for asparagus – a plant that doesn’t mind a bit of salt.
no clothes dryers, you’ll be using racks and clotheslines
washing machine iffy – you might be washing clothing by hand in your bathtub using cold water detergents. Or you might be using a gasoline powered washing machine like the ones Maytag used to sell in the 40’s.
cold showers – it’s good for health and blood circulation. Do it and quit being a wimp.
addicted to your car? Too bad. It will remain parked, possibly forever, and bicycles and motorbikes will be the way to get around. As it is right now in “undeveloped” nations. How many of us are ready for this lifestyle. If you’ve practiced it already or have done some of these lifestyle changes, it won’t be that hard to go through fossil fuel withdrawals.
Plus the marauding mobs of starving zombies. Don’t fuhget about the marauding mobs of starving zombies.
“People poop’s the worst!”
– Uncle Lou
A good contemporary example of “low energy living” is NKorea — watching a few videos of life in that country, everything is done by hand and feet power. Cultivation of fields, transportation, removing snow from public streets (with snow shovels, not plows) very little machinery or even draft animals — just people struggling mightily to get things done and all backed up with ferocious self discipline and external discipline enforced with brutal police methods.
In the west these brutal police methods are what its going to take to enforce draconian Climate Mandates laid down by the WEF and the UN — as we have seen the French police crack down on Yellow vest disturbances and Dutch security forces actually firing live rounds into the ranks of protesting farmers. As TPTB double down on their own electorate to bring global temps in line with 1.5° C, its going to get ugly, even moreso in the USA with its heavily armed rural population.
“brutal police methods” can only work with a disarmed and docile population. Asians seem more able to live in giant socialist societies arranged like ant hills with obedient workers. Here in North America we like the notion of being rugged individuals, we worship people like Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. We like the idea of mountain men going into the wilderness and carving out their own tiny little kingdoms. Before Columbus, North America was a vast place filled with tribes who fought each other continually and thus could never create a unified force to drive the white Europeans back into their ships. South America was much different, with organized civilizations that built stone cities and understood mathematics and geometry. Problem there was when the whites arrived these big civilizations were little more than gilded mummies, their glory days over and their priesthoods corrupted. So they couldn’t organize an effective defense against Spainards seeking gold. My prediction is that North America will go back to where it was for the past 30,000 years or so. A loose conglomeration of fighting tribes. There’s a spirit of rebellion ruling over North America, it’s always been here. We like our rebels, even when they lack a cause It’s paused temporarily so all the natural resources here can be dug out and exploited. It’s fossil fuel lifestyles that provide our only unity and keep us all on the same page. Take away the FF lifestyles and it’s all over and back to the way it was with being a collection of small states or even tribes that can’t work together and live in rather primitive conditions.

Hahaha… the brothas gotta make a living too ya know.
Lower energy living… the thing is there is plenty of oil and gas but the models are broken and people are not talking to each other. So East vs west or Slav versus German. On top of that you have the faux Europeans playing incendiary.
I drove out to the headwaters of the river that passes near my house, about a 40 mile drive, to the foot of the Berkshires, where the water is cold, the air is cool, and the trout are running. (I ended up not catching anything) At any rate the route takes me thru swanky Ct suburbs where 2 years ago the lawns were thick with ‘BLM’ & ‘Hate Has No Home Here’ lawn signs. ( What a joke. These towns — metaphorically speaking — are about as far from the ‘hood as you could possibly get. The nearest hood might as well be on Mars.) I made the same drive in the spring and witnessed more Ukrainian National flags hanging from houses than you’d see in Kiev. To my surprise, all of that is gone, no flags, no BLM lawn signs. It looks like the excitement is over, at least for now. I did stop at a grocery store outside a rural village off the state highway for ice & beer and noticed the meat section wasn’t too well stocked. Also, there weren’t too many fishermen or rafters on the river, which I attribute to high gasoline prices amongst other reasons.
Sounds like people are just hunkering down in their bunkers and waiting for these “good times” to end. Don’t worry, I’m sure a new pithy sign saying/flag fad will come along soon enough.
BLM, masks, Ukraine flags …
It reminds me of all the “Support Our Troops” bumper stickers on gas-guzzling, single-occupancy SUVs in 2002 and 2003 while we invaded and occupied oil-rich Iraq. Those stickers were everywhere … and then they were gone.
Sheeple gonna sheep.
Speaking of zombies, today I read that scientists have gotten some dead pig cells to somewhat function again. It’s only a matter of time before dead humans can be reanimated.
I can just see the future:
Ted: Boss, I’m sorry, I’ll be out this entire week. I died last night and it’ll take me a week to become reanimated.
Boss: Ted, don’t give me lame excuses. If you’re not in tomorrow, you’re fired!

“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”
– Benjamin Franklin
Unfortunately, in the real world lambs don’t have weapons and wolves have them installed at birth. Lambs are programmed to be domesticated and they need farmers with dogs to keep them safe. So forget about liberty for lambs. A better way might be to go back to old fashioned monarchies. The system that we rebelled against. From the Mad Monarch’s website:
“Hereditary monarchy just isn’t fair!
Why not? How can any system for determining national leadership be absolutely fair? It hardly seems fair that one person should receive the top job simply because he or she is more popular. Surely the correct criteria should be how qualified a person is rather than if they are good at making speeches, more photogenic or being more gifted at graft and deceit. In a monarchy the top job goes to someone trained from birth to fill that role. In a republic, even under the best circumstances, an elected president will take half their term learning to do the job and the other half campaigning to retain it; hardly a model of efficiency. Hereditary succession seems much more “fair” than granting power to those able to swindle enough money and promise enough favors to the powerful to obtain the highest office in the land.”
Tucker just interviewed Josh Hawley R Missouri Senator who was the ONLY senator to vote against NATO bringing in Finland and Sweden. He says that the Russian reaction will make more military from the US to NATO and more underfunded expense.
IMHO, another example of Europe using the US. Are the two going to contribute 2% of their GNP to NATO defense as the treaty states, or are they going to ignore it like all the others?
Hawley for President!
I hope the US can provide LNG to two more northerly countries.
Hawley is an arsehole – a coward and a bullshitter. It’s a pity he can’t be thrown out till 2024.
I hope you like listening to yourself, your opinion means nothing to me.
It really doesn’t seem to mean anything to anyone here.
One wonders why he bothers?

All you anti-corporate folks, please remember that when the Liar in Chief says no taxes for folks below $400000, that the 15% minimum corporate tax will not be paid by the corporation but by each one of us in consumer spending.

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!
There’s no helping you, is there, JohnAZ?
Believe me, Redneck, I do not want or need your Leftist junk for help. Nor does America!!! Stay in New Zealand and destroy it.
I am destroying nothing JohnAZ. You’ve become more and more fucked up in your perspectives these last few years. So many here (and even you in the very next post below) are actively CALLING for the destruction of the USA. Who’s Destroying What?
We like JAZ.
No one likes you & your idiotic Media Matters muppetry.
Go away.
“I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend, to my death, your right to say it.”
Notwithstanding our admiration for JAZ, CFN discussion is more lively and interesting with you stirring the pot, RL.
Please, like most of us, simply disregard the juvenile comments of the high school clique. That is, please do not go away but, rather, keep stirring the pot.
Thx
Mary QAnon. – you’re SO very 5th grade.
@ Rhett Dawson:
Redneck Liberal never contributes anything. Just drive-by ad hominems.
There are people here whom I disagree with, and I think it’s interesting to have a conversation with them. Thing is, you can’t have a conversation with somebody if they never said anything of substance. Saying JohnAZ’s perspective is fucked up does not really count as discourse.
How am I supposed to respond to that? By saying, “I’m rubber and your glue. It bounes off me and sticks to you”?
It’s probably too late for him to try to retrieve his brains from the cannery.
I find it interesting that RL and RD are on the same side
People, please learn what the 1st Amendment is.
LMAO.
Don’t make me keep ‘splaining it to you.
@ MaryQueen:
To dignify Redneck Liberal’s contributions by calling them “speech” is a stretch. When ad hominems and drive-by slurs are the closest you can come to articulating something more than grunts and howls, you’re like a yapping little dog that someone brought to a dinner party. It would be reasonable for the host to put him outside. Especially after he’s bitten some ankles and peed on the carpet.
Face it everyone, the Deep State is here to fleece every entity in the US, all the folks, all the small and large businesses.
What do we get in return?
Higher inflation
Recession
Open border
Lousy foreign policy. Loss of influence to the world with advancement in all ways of Sino Russia and WEF.
Destruction of Happy Motoring prematurely
Inadequate electrical grid
EVs that the middle class cannot afford
That is a start, add on. Venezuela here we come. Madura did the identical thing to their oil industry as the Dems are doing to ours. Are we really surprised when our economy follows what happened to theirs.
The US is Balkanizing into three geographic areas, East Coast, West Coast and the Red Zone. Hope it splits before the whole thing goes down.
Remember when the big joke was wishing that California would slide into the Pacific? Well???
John, you seem to make great progress, then fall back onto old nostrums.
While you’re correct about the deep state in concept, you appear to underestimate its size and scope. Hint: it’s the whole thing.
Yes, it’s the security apparatus (state, dod, cia/fbi, et al), political control via parties, banking, media and industry.
All 5 sectors benefit from the continued growth and success of the international power and control system along with our Euro allies.
The so called people have never controlled this carefully gatekeeped club, but rather have for generations been fed the lie that they just need to organize and vote harder.
It’s a bit of a waste of time even bothering to point out these elements. It’s much wiser to just observe how it all plays out, using wisdom and insight to front run obvious moves.
Oh, no I don’t.
The Deep State is NOT just DC although the Mob there is the head of the snake.
The Deep State extends into the state a local government as demonstrated by the unanimous refusal of all levels to investigate the veracity of the election.
It is much easier to just say, it is all BS when you want your sworn enemy “outa there”.
The DC Deep State is a subsidiary to the global forces as the Mob extends from the very top.
If you are in Vegas, visit the Mob museum to see how the Mob has grown over the decades. It is everywhere.
“The Deep State extends into the state a local government as demonstrated by the unanimous refusal of all levels to investigate the veracity of the election.”
Hmm.
As far as I can tell, everyone who ASKED for evidence was PROMISED it, but it just never MATERIALISED. Viz: the testimony of Pat Cipollone at the J6 Hearings…and next at the Grand Jury.
Cipollone is a true-blue Republican. He defended Drumpf at the second impeachment hearing. He has kept his gob shut till asked by the J6 Committee, but no doubt you’ll write him off as a RINO. Nothing could be further from the truth, though, JohnAZ.
And Cipollone (along with Barr and a cast of many illustrious White House staffers and Trump Loyalists) hasn’t swallowed the Big Lie, unlike yourself (and virtually everyone else on this Blog Roll).
Paula D said, “The saying is: If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. Period.
The clear implication is that if mama is happy the entire family benefits, therefore it is a good thing to make mama happy, which is clearly her husband’s role.”
Thanks for the “Period”. It illustrates my point.
Too many women think men want what they want, to be ‘made happy’. She will see that her man is unhappy about something and will say, “I love you” believing that will fix him up. This is inadequate. Do you know why?
Not to put you on the spot. I’ve been with the same woman for 50 years. We have discussed this many times and she still don’t get it.
How exactly is Joe and Jane Doe going to ‘front run” whatever power relation of whatever nature or sector of society? Grab your ankles and feel the deep rhythms of elite power and smile like a Zen Schmuck. Buy gold, bitcoin, stock/bond/ commodity futures? You’re an excellent writer and quite perceptive, but I want to find out where the pricks live and egg their house. I know, impotent rage.
Really, you can’t figure out how to play events to your advantage, even though it’s being broadcast loud and clear?
Mega trend #1 – peak oil
We know disbursed rural is dead – it only existed due to ff surplus. We know personal motor transport is dead – same reasons. We know cities are danger zones, held by adversarial forces.
This means the hated ‘burbs will become the new dispersed villages, with neighborhoods converted to small shops and smiths.
Mega trend #2 – immigration
We know latin America is moving to the USA, as is the ME and Africa to Europe. A smart person would begin to learn the respective languages, spanish and Arabic, Respectively.
The various WEF action items include native replacement in favor of new generations which have no memory of surplus. It is they who will accept 200 Sq ft, UBI, social credit, carbon quotas, etc
How will you position yourself to take advantage of these 2 major trends? It’s just resentment and resistance that is freezing you from acting.
Will we at least have a chance to stuff a mixed bag of cockroaches & beetles down Klaus Schwab throat so he can tell us how good they taste — as the insects crawl out his eyeballs, ears, and @$$ hole?

Do you remember Twilight Zone movie where what you are describing happened to EG Marshall?
“Creepshow” 1982
Upson Pratt (E.G. Marshall) is a ruthlessly cruel business mogul who suffers from mysophobia, which has rendered him living in a hermetically-sealed penthouse apartment outfitted with electric locks and surveillance cameras. His apparent contacts with the outside world are through the telephone and are primarily made to put-upon employees. One stormy night, Pratt receives a call from George Gendron, one of his subordinates, about the fact that his company (Pratt International) has recently instigated a corporate takeover of the Pacific Aerodyne company. Gendron also informs Mr. Pratt that the takeover caused a business rival, Norman Castonmeyer, to commit suicide, much to Pratt’s delight.
During the call, Pratt slowly begins finding cockroaches around his apartment. Being a fanatical insect hater, Pratt arms himself with bug spray in an attempt to combat the insects. Before long, someone manages to get through on Pratt’s private line. The caller turns out to be Norman Castonmeyer’s widow Lenore (Ann Muffly), who tearfully recalls her husband’s final moments and curses Pratt for causing his death. After finding pieces of cockroaches in his food processor, Pratt receives a call from his building’s superintendent Carl Reynolds (Mike Tierno), currently on vacation in Orlando. Despite his vacation, Pratt forces Reynolds to send the building’s handyman Mr. White to call an exterminator under the threat of firing him.
Soon after, Pratt discovers more cockroaches in a box of cereal, trying and failing to crush any that he can. Mr. White (David Early) soon arrives outside Pratt’s door, and tells him (speaking in a stereotypical minstrel voice to mock him) that he is calling a fumigation service. A rolling blackout then heads towards the building. During the blackout, cockroaches numbering in the hundreds of thousands begin pouring out of every nook and cranny in Pratt’s apartment. As the insects overwhelm Pratt, he activates the emergency power and attempts to call the police for assistance. The police are unfortunately unable to be of any help because of the blackout, nor is Mr. White, who is stuck in the elevator.
At his wit’s end, Pratt locks himself inside a climate-controlled panic room to escape the growing swarm of cockroaches. He gets to get another call from Lenore, who continues to curse at him. It’s during this call that Pratt finds his bedcovers wriggling, and he removes them to discover that the cockroaches have already invaded the panic room. With no way for Pratt to escape, the cockroach swarm charges at him, which induces a fatal heart attack.
When electricity returns to the building, the apartment is utterly devoid of cockroaches. Pratt’s corpse is shown in the panic room as Mr. White calls in to report. When he gets no answer, Mr. White mockingly asks Pratt “Bugs got your tongue?” Pratt’s body soon begins to contort as cockroaches burst out of his mouth and chest, re-enveloping the panic room. Mr. White continues to call Pratt’s name to get a response, then calls him a bastard when he gets no answer.
Good add ons. For the WEF to take over, the number one impediment, Trump, must be destroyed politically. That is why almost one hundred percent of the effort in DC is pursuing Trump.
That is a US-centric view. That said, if Trump disappears, it won’t matter all that much. He has done enough.
It is the movement they fear, because it is the only freedom-oriented movement large enough in the US to challenge the pigs feeding from the globalist trough.
Maybe you still don’t get it.
Man is unhappy.
Woman says, “I love you” and expects that that will make him happy.
It does not.
Man explains to woman that her telling him that she loves him does not change him from unhappy to happy.
After 30 years, woman still does not get it.
“Analysis”:
“Maybe you still don’t get [your own feelings and emotions].”
Obvious conclusion:
Dumber than dirt.
*50 years
Here’s how it will work during the long emergency. With unreliable electricity the wood burning kitchen stove becomes the primary way to bake a cherry pie, and that’s what’s needed to keep him happy. Talk is cheap and easy. Not so with cherry pies, other inputs are needed. Let’s say the wood burning stove cracks or fails somewhere and needs welding. Man steps up and when the electricity is available, he fixes the stove, having the skills to weld cast iron. Man provides the wood for the kitchen stove, he’s handy with things like felling, cutting, splitting, and stacking wood. Woman then takes over in making and baking the pies – a team activity that gives both parties satisfaction. Woman also enjoys eating pies as much as Man.
I hope you didn’t just call Mrs Druid dumber than dirt. Because I’m sure she isn’t or Mr Druid wouldn’t have married her.
What about Yorkshire Pudding? Can you at least make that?
No, I did not call Mrs Druid dumber than dirt. Every couple has their “couple’s dance” and women run on emotion while men run on logic.
In my recap of the scenario, it is the 3rd party moron jumping in with her misandric blather “analysis” that clearly displays, yet again, that she is indeed corrupt and dumber than dirt.
She is so convinced that the man is always wrong that she never even logically considers that the topic being discussed is the man’s very thoughts, feelings and emotions and that he cannot possibly be wrong as he is the authority in this case.
‘At least’, with reference to what?
And what has that to do with aspersions seemingly cast on the intelligence of Mrs Druid?
I did not call Mrs Druid dumber than dirt. MQ is the moron misandric “analyst” that I replied to and that is dumber than dirt.
“and women run on emotion while men run on logic.”
And yet you think that pornography empowers women when, logically, it disempowers them, since no woman on the planet can possibly compete with the effects on a male psyche of a million different professional prostitutes, offering absolutely any kind of gratification that the entire totality of male psyches in the world could think up, in any combination and at any time. That’s not logical. Not remotely. It’s more likely based on the emotional dislike of whole swaths of women.
“I did not call Mrs Druid dumber than dirt”
I said ‘seemingly’ since your response to me only appeared (to me) after my post to Jarek. Jarek who seems to think he has some clue about my cookery skills. I wonder who he thinks fed my children while I also held down a job to keep a roof over their heads. A job which required logic, organisation and discipline, not emotion.
1) Generally speaking, women run on emotion while men run on logic. That is an undisputed fact. That is how we, together, climbed to the very pinnacle of this planet’s food chain.
2) Pornography empowers women as a byproduct because pornography emasculates men. I think that we can agree that pornography is horrendous for all of mankind.
FYI – A recent university Sociology study on the effects of pornography on young men had to be shit-canned because they could not attain a control group. 100% of the young men on campus had already been watching porn online for years.
That is so appropriate, GA. You are now getting all emotional about your logic.
Nobody said that women have no logic or that men have no emotion.
The facts are regarding the relativity between our sexes.
Generally speaking, men are more logical while women are more emotional. This is a well-known, undisputed fact.
Like all statistical population distributions, there will be Bell Curves and outliers but these only prove the well-known, firmly-established facts.
Also, please go back and read my reply to MQ. Now that you know that I was calling her (the blatantly misandric “analyst” uselessly chiming in) dumber than dirt, can you see that it was you thinking that I was calling Mrs Druid dumber than dirt that caused much of this confusion?
I mean, if you can assess your misunderstanding logically.
“Pornography empowers women as a byproduct because pornography emasculates men. […]”
The majority of men (not the actual addicts) are not emasculated – they just get to have their cake and eat it. Women (their partners) are not empowered by this – they merely have to live with the insult and humiliation, unless they choose divorce.
” You are now getting all emotional about your logic.”
My statements about my logic were no more emotional than your witterings about fruit pie. Rather less so, in fact. What you are doing now is gaslighting.
@ Jarek:
OMG! Yorkshire pudding! As near as I can make out, this is the same thing as popovers, which are about the best food ever. If only there were a keto version.
@ Rhett Dawson:
I’ve never seen any evidence that men run on logic, nor has that been my observation. To “run on logic,” a person would have to be capable of detachment–from ones preconceptions, vanities, desires, fantasies, etc. Not many people of either sex can do that.
I’d be curious to see some evidence about the “indisputable fact” that “women run on emotion while men run on logic.” Have there been some studies on this?

Yorkshire puddings are made with what is basically pancake batter. They started as a ‘filler’ food in poorer times. But they are, individually, light and airy.
Traditionally, Yorkshire puddings were cooked in the fat that was rendered from a beef roast.They were eaten before the main course, with gravy from the roast, so that people would fill themselves up with a cheap starter and not need so much meat. But you are right that, especially served with gravy (these days they’re served with the roast they are delicious. One of my nieces, who lives in Yorkshire, had mini-Yorkshire puddings, with beef in them, as part of her pre-wedding-lunch canapés.
Just as obsessed with me as O.G.
What a coinkydink.
Your “…dumber than dirt…” analogy just inspired a funny thought.
Silicon Valley start-up looking for seed money to develop – wait for it – “smart dirt”.
“The saying is: If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.”
The Nazi Ministry of Propaganda discovered this years ago and actually put the concept in writing. It goes something like this, “direct your propaganda at the ladies first. Once you’ve got them on board, the men and the children will follow.”
At the peak of his popularity, Hitler affected some women in the same way that Elvis or the Beatles did. A distant German relative once had the good fortune to arrive at a restaurant just after Hitler and his entourage had left the place. A small uproar was going on because a few of the female employees were in a fight over wanting to keep a dinner plate and sliverware that Hitler had just used, and the manager wasn’t going for that. Instead, Hitler’s dining stuff was heading for the dishwasher, and he wasn’t letting anyone have it as a keepsake. Image being married to a lady who just brought home one of Hitler’s diner plates and was proudly putting it on display. Imagine trying to keep peace at home if the husband wasn’t a Nazi.
Yes, and imagine Western Civilization if he had won. Think we would be dying like we are now?
Churchill writing after the War: The cause of the war was Germany’s unwillingness to surrender to Global finance. They wanted to remain “Germany”.
You still don’t get it, do you?
Messi: Can you expand on that? My take is that Paula and Co are Matriarchs who expect the husband to serve the wife, but see no need to reciprocate. But you seem to be taking it in another direction, at least now.
Aretha F. sang about it. Everyone needs love and respect. Women tend to need more love, men tend to need more respect.
It is not my wife’s fault for the way she is, only that she chooses to remain the way she is [ both ] due to childhood trauma [ use your imagination ]. She is not capable of submitting to any man.
In my experience the undermining of this “dance” began with Ma and PA Kettle. They chose the perfect actors for this. The new norm al – powerful assertive women, limp-wristed compliant men. The rest is history.
It starts with storge [ love of parent for their child ] proceeds to phileo [ brotherly love ] to Eros [ sexual ]. Experiencing these out of order causes trauma. Agape [ unconditional ] is the ideal [ the goal ].
To become a man, a male must have someone [ s ] that looks up to him for guidance, protection, sustenance and appreciation.
Those who cannot trust him [ for whatever reason – trauma, self-sufficient, meanness etc. ] in these areas stunt him. These can also be self-inflicted.
Experiencing these out of order [ or never ] causes trauma.
JAZ and RL…do you know who I am and what I could do to you? Didn’t think so. I’m just an ordinary guy, trying to make my way in life. Mike Pence in ’24!
They might not know tom but i know exactly who and what you are. The betrayer’s time is appointed. The betrayal, a tribulation indeed, but of divine will and providence. Despite the will of the whispering liar. 24? lol. ?Will the 30 pieces of silver be worth it when the realization sets in that planned obsolescence is the design of that particular toolship.
(What are you smoking????)
Lol, I know you want some don’t you 😉
Brilliant comment, RL. Twelve time zones away, at 21:20, awaiting the new blog, I burst into laughter. The monkeys by the fireplace ignored me.
Gee, SSL
Let us in on the secret. Who is Tom Clark?
Who do you think I am John? deep throat? You’ll have to keep wondering. Though just watch him and you will figure it out yourself soon enough.
Tom Clark is a mighty sorcerer. Only SSL and I know this. She is trying to reform him, turn him towards the Light. While I constantly warn her about how dangerous this apparently nebbish is.
Tom Clark – no, I don’t know who you are and what you can do to me. However, I’m guessing ‘not much’ is likely the answer to both questions…unless you’re a retired CIA Director?

Ditto!
BTW, tc, I may hardly ever agree with Redneck, but both of us are entitled to express our opinions on this blog. Remember the opposition believes in their dogma as much as I do mine.
Atta boy, JAZ!
It is EASY to support the freedom of speech for those with whom you agree.
To truly believe in free speech, you need allow (and even encourage) it from your critics and your adversaries.
LOL ok thanks for the civics lesson dad bwahaha
@ Rhett Dawson:
Tom Clark and Redneck Liberal are neither critics nor adversaries. They have no actual thoughts or opinions of their own; just some canned stuff that they parrot. Like parrots, they are pre-verbal but capable of mimicry–with probably no more idea of what their words mean than a parrot has.
@ Rhett Dawson:
I mean, Jeebus, neither one of them ever actually says anything. Redneck Liberal is kind of a yapping nuisance, and Tom Clark is kind of an ingratiating boorish nuisance. If I were a mean person, I would break out the fly spray.
“…retired CIA Director…” brings to mind William Colby. While I have no connection with the man and most probably would have approved of little of what he did, I cannot help but feel bad about the way he was offed – undoubtedly by his ex-comrades in CIA.
Even convicted traitors like Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen, responsible for many deaths, do not get subjected to that kind of humiliating farewell.
Colby almost seemed to have been expecting his murderers.
Ah…I’ve found Night Howler (possibly a prototype of the supreme misinformation ‘bot he presents as now) here! From 1986…apparently the sky was falling then too.

Brittney Griner gets nine years in Russian prison.
Hoo boy…
Ohhh nooooo, poor Brittney!!! How is her lover going to be able to get back and forth between Mother Russia to visit her? Maybe Pelosi should plan a new extension to her trip, to visit Moscow and plead for the release of Brittney. Maybe the US Seals should execute a special undercover op to free Brittney under cover of night.
Drop everything Biden and get to work freeing Brittney now!
Biden is so forceful and powerful. Doesn’t the world know that we as American citizens can do anything we want and flout all rule of law, both at home and abroad? And I quote:
U.S. President Joe Biden slammed Russia in a statement on Thursday morning following Griner’s sentencing and called on Russia to “release her immediately.”
“Today, American citizen Brittney Griner received a prison sentence that is one more reminder of what the world already knew: Russia is wrongfully detaining Brittney,” Biden said.
I guess Joe would say that California wrongfully detrained Charlie Manson
“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”
She knew that she was breaking Russian Law in Russia.
Life is a serious game. As serious as a heart attack.
We freed Brittney Spheres, why don’t we free Brittney Grinder? Is it racism? Homophobia? What?
LOL
“The world” being the very small one that only exists inside Slo’Jo’s head.
That “girl’s” a dude, no doubt about it.
Does time served count toward her sentence?
Yes, it was supposed to be a 10 year sentence, but she gets only 9.5 years due to time served. Very generous of the Russian legal system.
Perhaps Russia could try a noble deal. Send Griner back to the US, in exchange for Assange being sent back – free – to Australis. Or rather to somewhere else of his choice, Australia having gone all Five-Eyes-Fascist.
Admittedly it is a somewhat uneven deal. 🙂
If only she was making millions of dollars, instead of a paltry 6 figures, this would have NEVER happened. How can someone honestly expect to survive on $200K? The shame!!! And I quote:
Griner’s trip to Russia to play in the offseason has underscored the issue of pay inequality in professional basketball.
Many WNBA players have traveled around the world to play in the offseason because they don’t make enough money during the season — an issue that is not as prevalent for NBA players. The top WNBA salary is $228,000 per season, whereas star NBA players make over $20 million a year.
I heat that Butch can be very high maintenance
Wait and see: Soon the men will be giving up million each to even up the score.
Or maybe not. Basketball is huge, especially among the privileged community. It isn’t punk ass soccer. Will they stand for such shit?
Instead, why doesn’t Brit become a man and play in the NBA? I assume they’re going to do some kind of high level swap and she’ll be out fairly soon.
After this ordeal is over, just imagine the money Brittney could rake in on book deals and movie rights alone. She will be sitting pretty for the rest of her days.
While she is in prison there she should make an effort to learn Russian. That way she can buy a nice dacha and live somewhere in the Baltic region when she gets out.
I listened to the recorded statement she made in court today; for the life of me ‘she’ sounds like a dude. She also looks like a dude. Is there any chance this is a dude, mocked up to nominally resemble a woman so he can compete in the WNBA? It’s been done before.
Is Russia holding Brittany in the men’s prison or the women’s prison? Is the Russian Penal System hip to the American Tranny Movement, beyond being the butt of jokes and the object of much derision? Also, it’s obvious that the BLM movement doesn’t carry a lot of weight in Russia, and the Russian Court System isn’t really susceptible to race based shakedowns. For example, I doubt if Al Sharpton would get a warm welcome at the Vorkuta gulag lol.
My thoughts as well. Very dudish. If so, he/she’s really got his/her pecker in a pinch this time. Should be really popular around the gulag.
hormones? not as in tranny hormones but as in roids for muscle.
I wonder if the tennis sisters are really brothers.
She talks like one too. Heard her on the news this morning for the first time.
“underscored the issue of pay inequality in professional basketball”
Hahaha!
The world has gone so loopy on the majesty of the emperor’s new clothes that economics (i.e. supply/demand) is now completely ignored.
Arguing that WNBA players should be paid the same as NBA players is akin to arguing that the leading lady of a Des Moines community theatre ought to be paid the same as a Broadway star.
Maybe that lady in Des Moines just hasn’t been discovered yet…
Well, the Des Moines Community leading lady has an infinitesimally greater chance to get “discovered” and then earn the pay of a Broadway star than BG becoming an NBA player and getting an NBA salary> I hope you actually understand this.
Between keeping up with all the CFN comments, BIL Peter, and bi-polar Richard, I have managed to squeeze in reading halfway through a novel titled Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I am mightily impressed with this book. Here is a blurb about it from a Google search:
It is a magisterial work of fiction, combining allusions to great works of literature with keen insight into the complex psychology and painful social reality of being a black man in mid-20th century America. Moreover it is engaging, mysterious, funny, sad, brainy, and honest. In short, it is a must-read.
Invisible Man won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction in 1953, making Ellison the first African American writer to win the award.
According to The New York Times, Barack Obama modeled his 1995 memoir Dreams from My Father on Ellison’s novel.
no, bill ayers did.
The Q. Man. Always literary, always inquisitive, always observant.
Q – I believe we read that in 8th or 9th grade English. I was very disappointed to find out there wasn’t actually an invisible man.
I should probably revisit it from a new perspective.
Let me guess: In the movie, Claude Rains played the role in black bandages
I can’t believe Bo told Peter about the funeral. This would be like Dis bringing his emotional support tarantula along completely naked. What if the tarantula takes a dump on his shoulder?
I can’t imagine he would be so thoughtless, but then again. A micro diaper could be stitched together quickly lol. But. Tarantulas are super particular about where they “dump” so a random dump may not happen per se.
Well they like to suck the juices out of their prey more than to eat them per se, at least in general. So their waste might be very subtle….
What a fascinating subject!
Lol, well i’ve never actually had a tarantula but from what I have read their poop is very similar to bird poop. But they are thoughtful and very private so like if you have them in a terrarium they will go to a far corner to do their business and all
Thoughtful? How so? Have you conversed?
Our Jar – always irritatingly provocative!
Not surprising. Anyone who grew up in the 90s remembers that race was hardly an issue at all and racism was rarely discussed. Things were fine until the Left ruined it all intentionally.
Matt Walsh
Wrong, Matt. Grotesquely wrong. This Man of Gold calls himself a Theocratic Fascist. That is very fine. But alas, the Christian theology is getting in the way of the Fascism it would seem.
Yes Matt, you are wrong. There was always a big issue about busing racial minorities to the suburban middle and high school I attended. In 1976 the 220 program was implemented as a way to racially desegregate urban and suburban schools in the Milwaukee area. This continues today.
This allows students and families with the opportunity to attend schools outside of their district as long as they coming from a majority population to a minority population.
So theoretically, you could be a White suburbanite and demand to be bussed to attend an inner-city Black school. I don’t recall it ever happening this way.
The Lost Opportunity of the 1990s
Gregory Hood
Matt Walsh is an effective conservative activist. His documentary What Is a Woman? is a clever look at the absurd impulses of transgenderism. He’s even a best-selling children’s author, but he has a mixed record on race.
His tweet above is wrong. The 1990s were hardly a time when Americans didn’t talk about race. Many readers of this site can probably remember incidents from the 1990s that woke them up on race, such as:
Justice Clarence Thomas calling his 1991 confirmation hearings a “high-tech lynching.”
The Rodney King trial and the Los Angeles riots of 1992.
The O.J. Simpson acquittal in 1995. Whites were astonished; blacks celebrated.
Coverage from the Los Angeles riots after the not guilty acquittal of policemen on trial in beating of Rodney King. In total, 55 people were killed during the riots, more than 2,000 people were injured, and more than 11,000 were arrested and $1 billion in property damage. (Credit Image: © Gene Blevins/ZUMA Wire)
The 1990s were when the “dream” of a post-racial society ended. The O.J. Simpson case showed that blacks would probably always put race before rule of law.
However, Mr. Walsh does have a point, because in the 1990s America still had a mainstream culture. The country was still 79 percent white in 1990. This meant people who pushed anti-white policies had to hide their aims. They couldn’t openly call for Critical Race Theory in public schools, reparations, or deposing the American flag without being laughed at.
What the 1990s may have really been was the last chance to stop multiculturalism. After the American victory in the Cold War, there was confusion about what America was supposed to stand for. “Without the Cold War, what’s the point of being an American?” asked one of John Updike’s characters. Patrick Buchanan may have been the only mainstream political figure who offered a real answer. “The greatest vacuum in American politics is to the right of Ronald Reagan,” he said in 1987, near the end of President Reagan’s second term. He launched two populist challenges to George H.W. Bush, promoting immigration control, English as the official language, noninterventionism, opposition to free trade, and ending affirmative action.
Democracy is not a system that rewards those who tell the truth. Many people thought Mr. Buchanan sounded mean. When he pledged to CPAC in 1992 to “root out the whole rotten infrastructure of reverse discrimination, root and branch,” the Hartford Courant complained:
There is such a thing as principled opposition to affirmative action. A great need in this country is for a dispassionate discussion of the concept — whether it is achieving its purpose or rending the social fabric so as to be destructive in effect.
But Mr. Buchanan, when he stirs the pot of fear and resentment, doesn’t contribute positively to that dialogue. He sounds somewhat like David Duke, who stands outside the margin of political respectability.
In 1991, David Duke was elected to the Louisiana legislature. The paleoconservative intellectual movement — with writers such as Murray Rothbard, Sam Francis, Paul Gottfried, and Thomas Fleming — challenged Conservatism Inc. The “Republican Revolution” in 1994 was a real opportunity to check liberalism and the growth of federal power.
Despite President Ronald Reagan’s 1996 amnesty for illegal immigrants — which leftist historians will probably call the most important thing he ever did — there was also still a chance to stop mass immigration. In 1994, California voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition 187, to end public education and benefits for illegal immigrants — only to see its provisions gutted by judges.
Likewise in 1994, Barbara Jordan — the first black woman to give the keynote address at a Democratic National Convention — headed a congressional commission on immigration that proposed policies well to the right of what President Donald Trump accomplished in office. The year before, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) said “no sane country” would allow birthright citizenship.
Shakespeare wrote in Julius Caesar, “There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.”
Conservatives didn’t act. California Governor Gray Davis, a Democrat, refused to appeal the ruling against Proposition 187. He ended his term in disgrace after a recall, but any future Aztlán should honor him as a founding father. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t stop the transformation of California and could be the state’s last Republican governor. Newt Gingrich and his supposedly “revolutionary” Republican Congress shied away from a federal ban on racial discrimination against whites and Asians.
The 1990s also had real debates on immigration and race that are now impossible.
In 1995, Peter Brimelow wrote Alien Nation: Common Sense About America’s Immigration Disaster. Thomas Jackson wrote in review:
With the appearance of this book, the public debate about immigration has finally approached the full dimensions that taboos have denied it. After years of letting themselves be silenced by anyone willing to equate immigration control with “racism,” a prominent advocate of border controls has at last called the other side’s bluff. Of course race is an issue, explains Mr. Brimelow, and whites have every right to oppose dispossession by nonwhites.
Republicans did not act. The border stayed open, even after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Today, America is on the brink of becoming a minority-majority country, and it is a real question whether we can call it a “nation” at all.
In 1994, Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray wrote The Bell Curve, which examined the importance of IQ and touched on race. “Touched on,” because it was not a book about race, but race and IQ dominated the widespread coverage. There would be no such debate today.
There were other serious books on race, IQ, and ethnicity:
Daniel Seligman, A Question of Intelligence, Birch Lane Press, 1992
Jared Taylor, Paved With Good Intentions, Carroll & Graf, 1992
Philippe Rushton, Race, Evolution, and Behavior, Transaction Publishers, 1995
Michael Levin, Why Race Matters, Praeger Publishers, 1997
Arthur Jensen, The g Factor, Praeger Publishers, 1998
Tatu Vanhanen, Ethnic Conflicts Explained by Ethnic Nepotism, JAI Press, 1999
We could also add books just before and after the 1990s.
Mark Snyderman & Stanley Rothman, The IQ Controversy, Transaction Publishers, 1988
Richard Lynn, Eugenics: A Reassessment, Praeger Publishers, 2001
These and other books did not open the door for more discussion. They seemed to scare our rulers into shutting down debate. MSNBC expelled Pat Buchanan because network president Phil Griffin said “the ideas he put forth aren’t really appropriate for national dialogue, much less the dialogue on MSNBC.”
Free speech has been further crushed since Donald Trump’s 2016 victory. It is because these issues are important that our rulers didn’t want them discussed, and Conservatism Inc. quietly went along. The same people still run the conservative movement, which explains why its “movement” is always backwards.
Writing about The Bell Curve’s impact, Christopher Brand wrote:
In 2000, journalists Peter Brimelow and Steve Sailer had noted on their VDARE.com web page that discussion of IQ and race had actually become more difficult as the 1990s progressed. Daniel Seligman, who had written a very readable little volume on the IQ debate in 1992 called A Question of Intelligence, also thought the atmosphere for discussing IQ and race had deteriorated. In his view, the liberal-left had shouted down all serious talk of IQ and had thereby “won” the argument. Ron Unz, who has campaigned to eliminate “bilingual education,” thought America’s intellectual elite had become significantly more frightened to talk about IQ since 1994.
Matt Walsh is right that to say that during the 1990s Americans still had a culture and that we didn’t have to hear about race all the time. However, that implied unity required a white supermajority, which is probably gone forever. We had the “woke” then as we do now; they just don’t have to hide behind “colorblind” rhetoric anymore. Even in the 1960s, Martin Luther King didn’t believe in “colorblindness” any more than in his marriage vows.
Conservatives should be asking why Republicans didn’t end all this nonsense when they could have. They were foolish and cowardly. Now, it’s not clear that America can — or should — be saved. The political and demographic threats are worse than ever. Our advantage is that fewer have any illusions about what is at stake. Let’s hope Mr. Walsh and others catch up.
Jarek: As Cicero said, the worst enemy is the enemy within, the near enemy whom you think is your friend. Thus are the Republican Party. At the higher levels, they are staunch Internationalists, as one with their Democratic brethren.
Jarek Jarek you post such long posts.
how is life for you? out in the boonies?
Hmm, you don’t like long posts? Well you know, you could just kinda skim through to get main bullet points and stuff. But I generally agree with the expressed sentiment that for the most part Republicans are just staged opposition who manage decline but do not ever lift a finger to stop decline. Out in the boonies? Oh! Tell me more
I was hoping for nuclear war so I wouldn’t have to go to work.

Flash: Britney refuses to have her new home called a “penal” colony
That’s because she likes to avoid dickheads as much as possible
**Rimshot**
booyah 😉
I normally don’t speak this way but I felt like there had to be an exclamation mark on this particular one. I haven’t said too much about the Brittney Griner sitch. But I must say it is actually very amazing to me about how some are so casual and careless commenting on something that I can actually only imagine must be a living terror and nightmare. And 9 nine years? For less than one gram of cannabis oil. 9 years. Given the horror it’s amazing that her plea was composed. Because the question is why are you doing this? So, it’s a pyrrhic victory if you will
I was just commenting on the penal colony – dickheads connection. Well done! Yes, she’s a political prisoner, but it’s not like any of this was unforeseen. Putin’s got Slo’ Jo’ by his sagging scrotum on this one, and he’s enjoying the twist. Can’t blame him one bit. Not like US drug laws are all that lenient or capricious either.
any less capricious.
I suggest SSL you see the movie “Midnight Express” Britney Griner has a long history of saying derogatory things about the United States and its past. She has refused to come out for the national anthem (her right) and believe it or not her unflattering remarks and attitude have done nothing to win her the average Joe’s sympathy in this manner. I bet you dollars to donuts that all Americans traveling to any foreign lands are warned as to what the country’s drug policies are. Believe me, a Google search will show you that there are many countries with stricter drug possession laws that Russia. She broke Russia’s drug laws, SSL; do you think the Russians are going to hold her accountable for that using American criminal statues? Think that Britney Griner was treated too harshly in Russia.? Then I suggest you move to Russia and start lobbying for Russia to change its possession penalties. I guess (I know) Jarek is right. Men are guided by logic; women are guided by emotion. The Roman had an expression that would aptly the Griner verdict: Sic Transit Gloria Mundi (Thus goes the way of the world)
I’ll cut to the chase, and you can ignore my long-winded response. “Sometimes you’re the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail. “. Today BG was the nail. C’est la vie, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
No matter how clever you comeback was, she pled guilty and was sentenced under Russian law. At least she got time served
Do you really think that’s fair. It seems so heavy handed and out of proportion to the indiscretion? What’s a little ole law. Is it really to be so punishing. It just seems like all the bad people who have all the power and wealth can do what they want to do. And everyone else is left to the whims of the law. So if its so corrupted dont you want to be like them? And in that manner you see that laws are illusions

Why doesn’t a modern-day journalist take up the torch of the illegal taxation that occurs to us with each pay check and on an annual basis each April? Federal theft by taxation is what it is, and now with inflation added to top it all off. This should allow us all a massive tax write-off for the coming year (i.e. no taxes owed at all).

GA,
Let’s find common ground. Surely we can agree on these two simple statements:
1) Porn is destructive to both men and women.
2) Generally speaking, men are more logical while women are more emotional.
3) Good women like to cook and bake, especially fruit pies.
I worked with attorneys for 15 years. None of the men ‘out-logic-ed’ any of the women. You’re gonna have to try better than sweeping (stupid and inane) generalities built on stereotypes.
LMOA!
Well … there you have it. Mary has single-handedly disproved eons of evolution by her anecdotal experience (and misandric bias) of a decade plus at one law firm. Case closed. Hahaha! Science.
OK, Mary. Are women actually more logical than men or is it a statistically impossible draw?
Are men more emotional than women or is that also a statistically impossible draw?
Hahaha! Like we don’t even have brains!
GA, notwithstanding the gibberings of the moronic, I still look forward to your agreement or refutation of my two simple statements above.
Perfect! So a SINGLE woman decries proof that billions of women are every bit as logical as billions of men by sharing her anecdotal personal experience with a dozen or two of each … and getting all emotional with her obviously insignificant little data point to boot.
A fella just can’t make this sh!t up.
“You’re gonna have to try better than sweeping (stupid and inane) generalities built on stereotypes.”
So rich. Let’s see how long before I can spot one of those in your own thread…ah. Your first contribution today:

If you have difficulty with a dry scientific paper – one that explains the mechanisms by which your immune system has been compromised by your (presumably) three shots of the quacksine – then you can watch and listen to the lead author presenting the information, with copious illustrations, to the Corona Investigative Committee.
odysee.com/@Corona-Investigative-Committee:5/Session-114-Seneff-Odysee:2
So that’s something else for you to debunk *scientifically*, along with Dr Chetty’s contribution to this affair.
Go to it, Redneck. Impress us with your scientific reasoning. Don’t let down the er ‘logic-driven’ sex.
“Let’s find common ground. Surely we can agree on these two simple statements”
The thing is, OG (I am disappointed to find that you seem to be OG – I’d have given OG more credit), you didn’t start with that ‘simple statement’. You worked round to that simple statement to make yourself seem reasonable and anyone arguing with you to be ’emotional’, not logical.
What you started with was a statement that a woman (not specified as any particular cohort of womanhood) using logic is ‘cute’, like a monkey riding a bicycle.
This ‘statement’ was designed to demean, infantilise and patronise women. I did a thought experiment. I imagined a conservative man who sees innate differences between men and women and argues them rationally. For the sake of argument, Jordan Peterson. And I tried to picture the eminently honourable Dr Peterson coming out with ‘watching a women do logic is like watching a monkey riding a bike – it’s cute’.
And I couldn’t. Because his aim is never to demean, patronise or infantilise women. Or any other category of person, as far as I can see.
While I’m on the subject of logic, I appreciate that your ex-wife seems to have done some very nasty stuff to you. Logically, despite your admitted faults, this does not seem to have been in any way merited.
But you subjected us all to a series of emotional rants that included, not just denunciations of their unethical behaviour, but lurid emotion on stilts, in the form of graphic descriptions of what horrors you hoped were taking place daily in their veins and arteries as a result of taking the covid ‘vaccines’.
Now I don’t mind being called dumb for taking the ‘vaccine’ – I call myself dumb for taking the ‘vaccine’. And if you want to call beantownbill, JAZ, Kesa, Rocketdoc and a number of others who made a bad decision dumb, I’ll leave that to them to care about or not.
But none of us needed to be subjected to your insane, lurid verbal diarrhoea to gratify your deep emotional needs of the time (primarily hate and vengeance). And, if you wish to insist that men are largely not driven by emotion, I would suggest that, during that period, you rather let the side down.
*their* should have been defined as your wife and her lawyers.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. will declare a public health emergency to bolster the federal response to the outbreak of monkeypox that already has infected more than 6,600 Americans, two people familiar with the matter said Thursday.
The declaration comes as the the Biden administration has faced criticism over the pace of vaccine availability for monkeypox. Clinics in major cities like New York and San Francisco say they haven’t received enough of the two-shot vaccine to meet demand and some have had to stop offering the second dose of the vaccine to ensure supply of first doses. The White House said it has made more than 1.1 million doses of vaccine available and has helped to boost domestic diagnostic capacity to 80,000 tests per week.

The government overspends its revenue every year by 30% which just gets tacked onto the debt.
Just to keep up, they have to have more revenue, hence more taxes.
Right now, the Dems are in control so business is the main target. So easy to tell the folks that corporations are bad guys that make all that profit and because of the Feds own lobbied tax laws pay little in tax. Yes, it is the government’s tax laws that do that. So this year it is a 15% minimum corporate tax.
Guess who is going to ultimately pay that tax.
Yep, you and me. Higher prices.
So Biden and his mob LIE big falsehoods when they say anyone under $400000 is not going to pay additional tax.
The government is a snowball rolling down hill getting bigger and bigger and needing more revenue.
Yet, their quest for additional dollars causes inflation and the Feds higher interest rates are going to cause layoffs.
Yep!
We are screwed.
Capital transfer from the upper and middle class to the lower folks, esp. the gimme non-productive class. Buy those votes.
Perpetual motion machine!
Good points all, in the end I think Government just needs to get the hell out of the way and let market forces do their own thing. If they refuse, then hopefully the government will fall as soon as possible through the use of pitchforks and sniper rifles. Of course none of this will ever happen, but it will keep getting worse and worse for the honest citizen year after year.
That assessment is both simplistic and misguided.
This just in: – any chance there could be a conspiracy afoot here to destroy these munitions on purpose?
German munitions storage site explodes, touching off forest fire in Berlin
A munitions storage site has exploded in Germany, touching off a fire in Berlin’s Grunewald Forest Thursday. Firefighters were staying more than half a mile away from the fire due to the threat of further explosions.
Berlin Fire Department spokesman James Klein said that the stored ordnance poses a challenge to firefighters.
“There are different items stored there, so there can be smaller and larger explosions. We are optimistic, because the heavy ordnance also located there, is stored accordingly, cooled and in steel containers, so that we can protect them,” Klein told Deutsche Welle.
Shortly before noon local time, the situation was still out of control, with occasional explosions at the ammunition site. The cause of the explosions has not yet been determined.
Fritz, June, 1945: “Now that World War Ii is over we need not worry about exploding armaments ever again.”
Fritz, August, 2022: “Hold my beer.”
I just read that dealing with the out-of-control fires sweeping the low countries is being made vastly more perilous because the heat is detonating munitions buried underground (including unexploded bombs from planes) in WW1 and WW2.
Was just reading somewhere that most of the Monkeypox outbreaks in Africa are concentrated where the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation tents go up. Coincidence? I think not…..
Laughable – last time I checked even trans people should be able to eat the same kinds of food as “normal” people:
A Milwaukee plant-based pop-up bakery is at the forefront of what “Bon Appetit” has called a “burgeoning cultural movement.”
At Moon Cherry Sweets, which pops up at Cactus Club on Sundays, transgender people of color always eat free.
“Growing up in the trans community, there’s just not a lot of access to resources and things like that, and not a lot of access to good food,” said Jack Roldan, who owns Moon Cherry with partner Chase Roldan. “We ourselves had struggled. We wanted to create good food for everyone regardless of ability to pay for it.”
Moon Cherry Sweets’ policy was inspired by Oakland’s Gay4You, whose chef-owner Cellphone is leading the “Trans People of Color Eat Free” initiative, according to a June “Bon Appetit” report. The restaurant — currently touring the country as a pop-up — is known for its inventive vegan takes on Latinx comfort food and for being a safe haven for the queer and trans community in the East Bay, the report said.
Between July and October 2021, a Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law report found that transgender adults were three times as likely than other adults to face food insufficiency, which was defined as not having enough to eat in the past seven days, according to USA TODAY. Trans people of color were six times as likely to experience food insufficiency as cisgender white adults.
The main reason for the disparity was a higher level of poverty among transgender people, often resulting from a lack of access to education and jobs because of discrimination, the USA TODAY report said. Other obstacles included an inability to get out to buy food because of lack of transportation, immunocompromised health, disability and safety concerns.
“The movement is just recognizing that trans people of color are some of the more marginalized people in society,” said Jack. “The movement was started to recognize that we’re here and we’re trying and we’re struggling. It’s not, in any means, to be exclusionary to other groups. But it’s just to really uplift a group of folks, a group of us, that really can societally struggle and doesn’t get talked about much.”
LMAO, why do the trans need a ‘safe haven’? They’re the most protected group in history.
The whole tranny movement is lasting longer than I thought it would. What’s keeping it going? As I go about my daily business I keep my eyes peeled for a tranny — I haven’t spotted one yet, which leads me to believe the tranny meme might be a bit of a red herring. Where are they all? The closest I’ve come is last June when a bunch of HS kids showed up to sell graduation raffle tickets … the boys seemed kind of effeminate, but not dressed up like they were auditioning for a sideshow appearance. I bought a bunch of tickets and sent them on their way. I mentioned about 20 years ago there was this dude who dressed up like a woman and sashayed around town. Actually when you talked to him he wasn’t that bad of a guy. Tragically, somebody cut his throat and tossed him out on the interstate in a date gone bad, one of the unsolved murders round these parts.
What’s keeping it going?
Big Pharma $$$$$$$$$$$
They get: Operations, permanent patients, it’s a win/win.
Gregory Hemingway had a problem with gender dysphoria and ended up dying tragically in a Miami, Florida jail cell. In the book ‘Hemingway’s Boat’, the author goes into some detail about Gregory’s case, Hemingway’s youngest son. It was a sad story of mental illness, despair, violence, trouble with the law, and early death — a more accurate depiction of the tranny lifestyle I believe than happy depictions of heavily made up comic book figures reading to young children at the public library.
Yes, the kids who are ‘transed’ by their Transhausen-by-Proxy parents, their lives are miserable and come to tragic ends.
A few years ago there was an “exhibit” (not sure what else to call it) with photos of transwomen who had been murdered.
Virtually all of them were minority people.
The trope that trans’women’ are murdered at a higher rate than actual biological women is completely false.
And of the trans-identified men who were killed, most were in drug deal or domestic violence situations, and had nothing to do with being ‘trans’.
I met several of them when I worked in Boston. You could always tell from their Adam’s apple.
There is even an operation for that, as well as for moving the hairline and paring back the brow bone. In addition to all the intricate stuff like adapting erectile tissue so that you still get a ting-a-ling when using your new bits made from old.
You can be at it for a while if you go for the full monty. I worked on a gender reassignment medical/surgery book once (not as an author, obviously, but I had to deal with all the photos 🙂 ) and my first thought was where on earth does the money come from for all this (it was an American book). And now I know, of course. It comes from us.
You can have your voice-box ‘done’ too, although I think that’s quite niche, in terms of surgeons who can do it, and I haven’t seen any real-world evidence suggesting it’s very successful.
Yes, GA: They spend upwards of $250K for all those surgeries. Imagine the cost of life-long hormones.
I love Helen of Destroy, and there are photos worth seeing in the article as well:
Washington Robot
Zelensky is the West’s perfect Bad-Idea Man, opening the doors for everything from killing free speech to launching nuclear war. But he’s not long for this world and neither are his backers
“The shoulderless thespian is thriving in his position as NATO’s golden boy, and both parties seem quite happy with what amounts to the world’s most expensive fin-dom (that’s “Financial Domination”) relationship in human history. Clad in man-of-the-people olive drab, Zelensky plays the role of solemn warrior-monk, convincing the US and Europe to open their hearts and wallets for the war effort to the point of adopting ruinous, self-sabotaging sanctions they clearly cannot afford in order to Save Democracy. Who knew that Uncle Sam, perhaps grown bored of enjoying the riches extracted by force from other countries, really just wanted to be told to bend over and open his wallet like the dirty little cash-slut he was? How many lives would have been saved in Libya if Muammar Gaddafi had just whipped out one of those petrodollar-imperiling gold dinars and told Barack Obama to suck on it?”

Save Democracy??
The Dems have been telling us that they are going to save our democracy from the MAGA extremists.
What???
The party of global control, socialism and Uniparty is the defender of democracy??
When pigs fly!!! They are the destroyers of democracy and individual freedom and liberty.
And the leaders of the Mob.
The spittle is certainly flying now, JohnAZ!
She’s being sarcastic, JAZ….
I couldn’t help wondering whether the Vogue cover stunt wasn’t partly designed to make it a bit harder to off Zel in a straightforward coup (a la Allende) or simple assassination.
people are more interested in pop “heroes” and celebrities than pols.
Actually, the SMO is more like the most “realistic” reality show going!! There are a lot of people out there who believe that Zel and his wife are gonna “win” the reality show.
Jimmy Dore is a lefty, Rednut! Sounds like covid heresy here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7ka2eUwwWc
Good episode!!
Jimmy Dore may have started as a ‘Lefty’ whatever that means) but he’s gone full rabbit hole since, along with you and your illustrious company.
I know plenty of highly intelligent people – personally and professionally. There seems to be no specific or definitive “tell” as to which ones have gone Rabbit-Holing, though (sort of like vegans) they eventually tell you in a round-about way with subtle little nods to the CT universe.
So, while I disagree with most all of you, and don’t buy the relentless bullshit, I don’t think you’re stupid, just misinformed.
You don’t think, period.
ANd I’m 99% sure you didn’t watch the episode…
You’re only 99% sure of anything, aren’t you? Doesn’t that tiny seed of doubt keep you awake at night?
Being 100% sure is the way to go. One must always be 100% sure, so that no further thinking is required.
You are very smart.
LOL.
“Sexual promiscuity has nothing to do with sexual orientation.”
Oh, she’s stupid, all right. Dumber than dirt.
The opinions of a former drunk who ruined his family’s life really doesn’t carry much weight with me, as you can imagine.
Always consider the source.
Quote of the week.
“He shoot my arm off, he shoot my arm off.”-Gangbanger who caught a load of buckshot in LA from an elderly package store owner as the gangbanger entered the store pointing a rifle with armed robbery on the agenda.
“He shoot my arm off, he shoot my arm off.” Lol.
I believe the Gangster later succumbed to his wounds.
More and more old dudes gonna be filling gangbangers full of buckshot I’m guessing, as the sanctioned looting gets worse and worse.
I know it’s old news by now (everything is in a day where anything goes and nothing matters) but seems like lesbie Brittney Griner has found out what “Soviet justice” is all about. Good for her. At least they lock ’em up over there. This prisoner exchange thing sets up a dangerous precedent. Soon it’ll be “my country for yours”, if it isn’t already.
I find it backward and weird that Russia is so anti-marijuana.
A question Mary.
Smoking tobacco was studied intensely and the carcinogenic and COPD properties were proven years and years ago. Usage has fallen since.
Why hasn’t marijuana had the same sort of investigations on cancer and COPD? Why isn’t it labeled as a gateway drug? Why isn’t its effects on increased depression and brain degradation been published widely?
Because this is a country of druggies, perverts, gimmes and politicians. I do not know which is worst.
In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, people puffed away on their cigarettes without a care in the world. Doctors advertised Camels, It was only after people smoked long enough and in large enough numbers that the long-term effects of tobacco smoking became evident. Want to find out what the long-term effect of smoking and or using marijuana are? Wait awhile. Any commentary on the long-term effect of smoking marijuana right now is purely anecdotal.
People been chronic smoking weed since I was born (1965), When does your trial end? Once they die of old age?
Weed is not great for the throat or the lungs but it is no where near as deadly as Big Tobacco and (especially) the chemical bath that is their toxic product.
Also, people smoke way less (hits/tokes/drags) weed than they do tobacco – not even close.
Yeah, it seems the European immigrants to America learned to smoke tobacco from the Indians here, and got countless millions of people eventually into smoking cigs. In exchange for tobacco, I suppose we introduced the Indians to the joys of firewater. Was this a good exchange of different cultural traditions?
As for cannabis, it’s mentioned in the Old Testament if you translate it correctly. Very likely Jesus himself used annointing oil that contained cannabis and other herbal oils.
“People been chronic smoking weed since I was born (1965), When does your trial end? Once they die of old age?/i>”
Oh, it’s been WAAAAAY longer than 1965…

Your comment is awaiting moderation
King James of England & Scotland, the 1st Stuart King, recognized tobacco as being injurious to health and tried to ban its import into England around 1623. The problem was by that time Jamestown in Virginia had hit upon tobacco as a cash crop that could be successfully marketed — after much trial and error. Initially, because of its latitude, the English thought they might be able to grow tropical fruit in Virginia, not accounting for weather patterns. (Which they knew very little about) Eventually the Crown and Virginia Colony were making so much money raising tobacco that any deleterious health effects of the crop were forgotten.
Well, Griner had cannibis oil not joints. So she couldn’t get high from it. It’s just a medicinal herb at that point. I give it to my dogs, I have a knee salve made with marijuana, it doesn’t get me high.
It’s a natural plant, I don’t get the hype over it.
Cannabis oil may or may NOT be CBD. The THC oil is smoked (or vaped).
In any case, the best way to take TC cannabis is edibles – make your own weed chocolate in the privacy of your own home.
We called it ‘hash oil’ back in the ’80s and it most definitely had mucho THC.
She still broke Russian law
Here’s the address of the Russian Duma:
Revolutsii Sq., 2/3, Metro Okhotny riad, ??????, 109012
Register your feelings there
How will I know my feelings arrive at the right address? I have’t seen question marks in addresses before. Is that like a mis translation of something written in cyrillic script that you copy and pasted? Im wondering if the question marks were intended to hurt my feelings and if I should be concerned too
@SSL: How many Russians have been killed in Ukraine by U.S. supplied weapons?
I’m not sure about that but I have heard that between 11 and 12 thousand Russians have been killed and somewhere around 60 thousand Ukrainians have been killed to this point. And some people think that weapons are not even making it to Ukraine because the DOD and defense companies are taking in all of the Ukraine war money that is being printed. But because they are apparently greenlighted for underhanded activities they will get away with it. So the nail in this case is the ordinary American so i wasn-t automatically inclined to ponder on the fortunes of Russians.
Just an example of how not everyone will fit into America.
A Muslim father in Texas shot and killed his two daughters because they were dating Americans. 911 received a call from one of the daughters as she was dying.
I sure am glad he saved the family honor.
They are nuts!!!
Yesterday in Alabama an illegal murdered a young mother and her 2 children — with his bare hands.
It seems to me that once you subscribe to the nutty idea that alliagiance to the folks who make license plates is a greater allegiance and a greater priority than ones family ,
It’s only a question of time before you arrive at drag queen story time ,
Only a question of time before you throw the immigration door wide open to a profoundly different culture and religion.
You wouldn’t be in this mess , I think , if you hadn’t put abstract ideologies above your own kin.
As for fitting in to America —-
Well , maybe all that melting pot rhetoric doesn’t really work as advertised?
“Who else is enjoying Alex Jones civil hearing on damages? Much hilarity as the flat little worm squirms on his hook of lies. And perjury. ”
The other night I started watching this documentary, ” Taxi to the Dark side ” about torture – related deaths at Bagram Air base prison , and the Abu Graib torture ” scandal ” .
But I quit watching it after about 20 minutes because it occurred to me that psychologists and criminologists have known for at least 60 years that an 80% ( ? ) successful way to induce mental illness is with indefinite solitary confinement.
Deliberate inducement of mental illness wouldn’t qualify as torture ?
But for 60 years American criminal justice has routinely used indefinite solitary confinement.
It’s no secret . It’s a publicly posted policy. They even boast of it and revel in it .
It’s not confined to Russian spies and Islamic terrorists in Federal Supermax prisons either ,
But is an absolutely common practice in local jails.
But the documentary implies that use of torture by Americans is some kind of new innovation and an unsuccessfully kept secret ?
The United States is a country where everyone preaches freedom of speech, but no one as much as even respects it , but rather hates and despises it.
A state controlled press simply isn’t even necessary.
And if rote conformist fear fails , there is economic warfare ; deprive someone of the means to make a living and they will soon enough wind up in jail or prison , and then the 13th amendment kicks in — legal slavery = no speech rights.
Or , if all of that is even too blatant , there is lawfare.
I don’t actually know who Alex Jones is , or what this Sandy Hook incident is about ,
But I’m going to take a wild guess that what it is really about is about maintaining the uniparty monopoly for another hundred – plus years ,
and insuring that as always free speech remains just another of your lieing slogans and false platitudes.
Business as usual.
A jury just gave the scumbag Alex Jones what he deserved. They awarded about $4 million in damages to parents because of his claims that the Sandy Hook massacre was nothing but a hoax.
A bloated, bellowing, lying, crude, conspiracy theorist pos.
He’ll now pay for his ‘free speech’. Choke on the words, fatso!
The United States is a republic is a hoax.
My guess is the idea of shooting Americans or putting them in cages bothers my conscience more than fucking over your own people bothers you.
You wanna play moral dick measuring ?
OK.
The show trial was run by a blue-haired (pics all over social media) left wing nut who banned him from even saying he was innocent.
The entire thing is nothing more than an affront to free speech, which, unsurprisingly, you abhor.
The good part is, 4 million is a drop in the bucket for Jones, who will continue on.
LOL.
There you go. That’s you all over – siding with immoral arseholes, believing and deliberately spreading their bald-faced lies, and praising them for ‘succeeding’ at monetising bullshit, because they see the hordes of dumbasses out there to exploit – like the intellectual giant, benr.
Tell us, oh, Great Predator of the Night, was Sandy Hook a “false-flag, faked story” as the venerable Jones claimed? I mean, we all know his refutation of it in court was all about the money.
” Blacks commit far more crimes. This is the Truth. Instead of admitting this truth, instead we build up an edifice of Lies of them as superior beings. ”
” Blacks commit far more crimes. This is the Truth. ”
Most Americans, I have noticed , can tell you that mom came from Slovakia , and Dad from Italy , or that Great – grandfather came from Ireland.
Speaking of Kelts , the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games ( Americans in kilts who have never set foot in Scotland ) has been for 50 years in the top ten drawers of tourist numbers in North Carolina.
But the most your typical American Black can say about their origins is , ” somewhere in Africa … ” pretty vague , considering Africa is an entire continent , and one of the larger continents at that.
Like speaking of Alaska and Florida as if they were right next door , or even one and the same neighborhood.
Not at all like your mother hailing from Slovakia.
Slovakia is an area you could walk across in two days.
This is to say that generally American Black’s are the most assimilated demographic in America.
So it would seem that the truth your statistics tell is that the more American one is , the more prone to criminality.
Or that when Kunstler ( still quite recognizable as a Jew , BTW) and others call for more helpings of common culture , they are basically calling for more of the same shit they bitch about.
“Instead of admitting this truth, instead we build up an edifice of Lies of them as superior beings. ”
The truth that anyone should admit is that anyone’s claim that a certain groups shit smells sweeter than the ordinary kind is only a concealed grab for power and privileges.
No one ever says , ” We / they are superior beings , therefore , we / they should get the Burger King Jobs. ”
And until / unless someone does , any such claim should be dismissed out of hand.
Yes , BLM is just a fishing expedition for power and privileges.
But then I don’t notice many White Power types wishing they had a time machine so they could go back and volunteer for Pickett’s Charge , Custer’s Last Stand , or Stalingrad , either.
Nice.
I think the actual problem in the USA, is not the combination of multiple ethnic/racial groups primarily, but the lack, from the outset, of a common culture that was healthy, balanced, sustainable.
Essentially, all the cultural assumptions and trends that were beginning to tear Europe apart were reproduced in the USA, and even accelerated (growth economies, intensive agricultural production, class exploitation for wealth creation, accelerated population growth).
These are the cancers that erode the USA from within, discourage true assimilation to “common culture.” (Why would you want to assimilate? Everyone is either nostalgaic for some better arrangement, or numbing themselves in the escapism of techno-consumerism, or both.)
The racial tensions, and the fact that multi-ethnicism exists in the USA, are symptoms of the country’s social disorganization more than causes.
“Men are guided by logic; women are guided by emotion. ”
When I was a little girl , my consuming ambition was to join the East German Army when I grew up.
Certainly as early as age 8 , but probably even at 4 or 5 , I was acutely aware that most of German military history is ….. PRETTY ….. FUCKING ….. GRIM.
No easy fucking victories like with your U.S. Army.
Usually grossly out – gunned and outnumbered, usually on multiple fronts , no easily defensible borders , powerful neighbors.
What victories there were usually cost thousands upon thousands of lives ,
And despite the cost of thousands upon thousands of lives the typical result was defeat.
Another thing I knew at a very early age was that when things got really dire they didn’t hesitate to hand out rifles to children.
Our adversaries, then allies , the Russians likewise handed out rifles to children when the situation was dire for them.
I guess simpering pandering to childhood simply lacks relevance when towns and cities full of children are being bombed flat.
As I got older , I learned other things , like in the 18th Century the British government had a G I Bill ;
Army veterans could legally panhandle.
You could loiter on a street corner in your old regimental with your tin cup and brag that while you might be destitute and a beggar , you had been with Marlborough at Blenheim !
As I said , you could do this legally without worry of being hassled , or busted , by the Pigs.
I didn’t grow up with Rambo or John Wayne bullshit .
My notions of military glory were more like, ” Letters from Iwo Jima “.
Never the less , that’s what I wanted.
If that makes me an emotional person , then I dare say I’m rather proud of being an emotional person .
The LOGIC I see in BOTH MALES AND FEMALES in the West is a logic that never describes a soldier as Cannon Fodder.
In the West , BOTH MALES AND FEMALES seek after a G I Bill that amounts in five years to more than a common laborer will see in a lifetime , when at least 75% of any modern military establishment is file clerks who would never come close to a shot fired in anger and wouldn’t expect to.
I would think that the file clerks job , a suit of nice clothes, and exemption from tasks like cotton – picking would satisfy them sufficiently?
No !
What I see is their idea of liberty , equality , and patriotism is greed , and greed , and still more greed !
And frankly their logic , BOTH MALE AND FEMALE , disgusts me.
No wonder I think that 60 lb , 4 foot 6 inch tall Vietnamese female Viet Cong kicked your ass.
Did you grow up in East Germany? I’ve some West German cousins who had close relatives in East Germany during the cold war era. They had special visas allowing them to visit in the Eastern zone, so they would smuggle the German versions of Playboy and Penthouse etc. magazines into East Germany. Once, the cops somehow found their stash of girlie mags and confiscated it all. My guess is the pile of porn made it back to the police station where it was treasured and handed about for years to come. The East Germans loved stuff like rock and roll recordings, blue jeans, and Playboy mags that had ads inside for consumer goods they could only dream about.
” Women ought to get back in the kitchen where they belong. ‘
Let me guess —-
Your next screed will be on the subject of men should get back to picking cotton in murderous heat , and to digging ditches in murderous cold ?
— men should get back to picking cotton in murderous heat , and to digging ditches in murderous cold —
— for men and women who don’t give a shit what sex your peasant ass is , or what color your peasant ass is.
I should have added.
After humankind looses access to fossil fuel energy, men and women will be back to picking cotton in murderous heat because the machines that used to pick and process cotton will either be broken down due to lack of critical spare parts or the diesel fuel to run them won’t be available. Same with digging ditches. Heavy labor like digging ditches will be done again by men in the murderous cold. The women will be also engaged in labor, just not the heavy kind. They might be busy instead making and mending clothing made by hand, or busy in kitchens doing the vital work of making and preserving food. Armies march on their stomachs, and so do men doing field stoop labor or men out logging without the aid of heavy equipment.
During the long emergency, both sexes will be doing vital work, and slackers will have a tough time of it.
It won’t be all doom and gloom. I’ve visited some fantastic cathedrals in Europe that were made by hand and by beast of burden labor involving horses and oxen. Buildings needing craftsmanship and skills not easily available today. I once walked the endless winding stairways up to the very top of the cathedral in Ulm, Germany. Also did a tourist trip to see the splendors of the number one cathedral of St. Peters in Rome. Humans can still create fantastic and wonderful things without the help of fossil fueled machines.
But they never had marauding mobs of starving zombies. Marauding mobs of starving zombies can be a real game-changer.
are you drunk this early in the morning?
what’s wrong dude?
The starving zombie episode will only take about a month or so, that’s about how long people can live without food. After a couple weeks or so of no food, the zombies will likely be too weak to travel far enough to be a problem at your door. Unless of course you live in a place like LA or Chicago. One thing for sure, millions of dead zombies laying about will be a feast day for rats, feral dogs, buzzards, possums, worms etc. And the smell will be pretty bad.
Men will be working cotton fields in murderous heat, and women will be slaving away in hot kitchens with wood fired kitchen stoves. Back in the 70’s I worked at a lumber company that had once in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s been a steam powered furniture plant. It was a summer job during my college years, and in the south it was HOT. I can remember suffering terribly once while helping to unload – by hand – an 18 wheeler filled with fiberglass insulation. It was around 98 degrees outside at the time, and inside that big trailer it had gone past 100 degrees and I got fiberglass all over me, itching like hell and roasting alive. The two other guys with me were hardened farm boys used to doing stuff like loading hay bales by hand in hot fields all day long. They were used to working under those conditions. I wasn’t and was suffering terribly. Out of pride and being macho, I carried on. Everyone laughed at me after I ran into the warehouse a couple times over to the water cooler. I found a bucket, filled it with ice cold water, and dumped it all over myself, trying to lessen the sting of the fiberglass and the heat. It was a good lesson and valuable experience learned by a college boy who had spent way to much time hanging around indoors with climate control with a bunch of women. Discomfort won’t kill you – it will actually make you stronger.
Forgot to include the main point of my above rant. At this place I worked in summer, there was once a job on the site that involved keeping a steam engine running constantly. In the humid south here, temps can sometimes hit 100 degrees and above. Imagine what it must have been like in the engine room at this place with it in the upper 90’s outside, and you are inside a building working next to a coal fired steam boiler running full blast. And you’d better be on your toes and watching all the guages and valves, otherwise the machine could blow up in a massive explosion. How many of today’s wimps raised in air conditioning could handle work like that again?
As for cannabis, it’s mentioned in the Old Testament if you translate it correctly. Very likely Jesus himself used annointing oil that contained cannabis and other herbal oils.
@Woodchuck So Jesus may have used cannabis in His anointing oils. Perhaps He was using that cannabis anointing oil when He said: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” So, I guess that He was saying as He used His cannabis anointed oils that if you don’t believe that He is the propitiation for an individual’s sins that person is condemned already” Don’t use the Bible to justify one aspect of your life and then reject the parts that make you feel uncomfortable like Romans 1:26 and 1:27
Most people are complelety unaware that THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, won’t make you high unless you decarboxylate it for a specific time at a specific temperature of around at least 250 degrees. This heat caused decarboxylation also happens during the smoking process. Without heating it properly first, cannabis oil will NOT give you much of a buzz, but the oil will still be capable of many other healing effects.
I found this out many many decades ago during my college years, trying unsuccessfully more than once to make pot brownies. Eating a raw marijuana plant by itself will not give you much of a buzz. You gotta dry it and smoke it. During the time of JC we have no evidence of people smoking the stuff as far as I know. It’s been used as both a medicinal plant and as a source of fiber for around 10,000 years or so. Quoting the Bible out of context or claiming that God directly wrote the Bible and that there are no mistakes or misinterpretations in the book – won’t go far with me.
Are you saying that there is a God but that He allowed His Word to be written and published wrong?
If God and Jesus were all hung up on the importance of written words and books – then Jesus would have been born in a well to do family in Jerusalem and he would have been fluent in Greek early on. Then Jesus himself would have authored a bunch of “holy books” that all of his followers would be bound by.
What happened instead was Jesus grew up as an illiterate construction worker in one of the most obscure and rural towns in Israel. The first official mention of the town of Nazareth in the history books came in the New Testament.
There’s little communities and one horse towns around in Southern Appalachia with silly names like “Frogtown” or “Punkin Center”. It’s a place that might have a grocery store, hardware store, and a gas station, and that’s it. Nothing much more to see. Now if Jesus was sent here by God, what message was God giving humanity by having his Boy being born in a barn and growing up in a place so obscure that history never cared about it until He became famous? Early Christianity got a lot of criticism by being a “cult without a book”. Most all other religious organizations of the time of Jesus were founded by some holy man who wrote some holy books that all members must follow. With Judaism, there was a collection of holy men/prophets who either wrote some stuff for the OT or inspired holy scribes to write a chapter telling the story of some holy prophet. There were Pharisees around making sure you lived according to rules written by the scibes/holy men.
It wasn’t until early in the 4th century that the general Christain community managed to put the New Testament together. Yet the religion had spread like wildfire all over the East, crossing national borders with ease during those first three centuries – all done without a Holy Book! How could that have happened? It was spreading virally from person to person, household to household. Done without any “official” rulebooks or centralized leadership. Once Christianity published an official “book of instructions” trouble began. It lead to heresy hunting and endless battles over interpretations of the sacred books.
BackrowHeckler’s comment on tobacco:
King James of England & Scotland, the 1st Stuart King, recognized tobacco as being injurious to health and tried to ban its import into England around 1623. The problem was by that time Jamestown in Virginia had hit upon tobacco as a cash crop that could be successfully marketed — after much trial and error. Initially, because of its latitude, the English thought they might be able to grow tropical fruit in Virginia, not accounting for weather patterns. (Which they knew very little about) Eventually the Crown and Virginia Colony were making so much money raising tobacco that any deleterious health effects of the crop were forgotten.
I bet you can say in 2022 that” Eventually U.S. state governments were making so much money raising pot that any deleterious health effects of the crop were forgotten””
My own interpretation of the Bible is that you shouldn’t use the Bible to justify your life in any way , shape , or form.
My interpretation of the New Testament is that God had to become a man and get himself human – sacrificed because otherwise Heaven was going to be an incredibly empty place.
Mary Magdalene was an ex – whore , if you believe the folks who gave you the New Testament in the first place.
According to the same folks Mathew was a tax collector —- in 1st Century Palastine that would have meant a collaborator with a hostile occupying power.
The Samaritans were an ethnic group in Palastine , generally not on friendly terms with the Jews , but Jesus praises a Samaritan.
The same was true of the Canaanites , but Jesus promises two different Canaanite women salvation.
Jesus praises a Roman Centurion , no less than the mailed fist in the flesh of a hostile occupying power.
Then , last but not least , there is Paul , whose original job was hunting down and killing Christians.
I like Christianity not because it says good people will get to walk on Easy Street .
I could in fact get that dogma from a dozen other religions , or even from Atheism for that matter.
But because Christianity suggests that bad people DO have a shot at Candyland , and NOT because they deserved it.
