If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” — Joseph Goebbels, Reichsminister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda

*

Debuting this week: America’s first genuine show trial, the second impeachment of Donald Trump, an exercise in pure malice designed by a party in power to teach a lesson to the party out of power. The lesson: we’re gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, as in the old song by Blondie. That’s it, and that’s all.

The exercise is so transparently idiotic and unconstitutional that Chief Justice John Roberts declined to preside over it, as the constitution specifies. Say, what…? Do you mean that in a proceeding this grave, he can just… demur? Because… why? Because he doesn’t feel like it? (Or something like that?) His Supreme Honor declined also to furnish a reason — though, if the Chief Justice views the trial as extraconstitutional, perhaps he should say so, for the record. Anyway, Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Senate President Pro Tempore (the oldest member of the majority party), will now act as judge. He must take a pledge to act impartially.

Running the prosecution: Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who opined last week in a public statement that the jury (his fellow senators) could “infer” Mr. Trump’s guilt if he declined to testify. Apparently, Mr. Raskin, a former constitutional law professor (American University) never read the Fifth Amendment, which states: …nor shall [any person] be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself. But this is how we roll in these fog-bound days of Woke democracy.

The charge is “inciting violence against the government of the United States” in the January 6 incident at the US Capitol in which a mob breached the doors and invaded the building, one of them wearing buffalo horns and war paint. The prosecuting majority made some noises about calling witnesses, until the defense said, fine, we’ll call witnesses, too, perhaps all the livelong day, day after day, until the cows come home. That prompted the majority to remember that it had a legislative agenda, which it could not pursue if that branch was busy conducting a show trial, so Mr. Raskin nixed the idea. They’ll rely on video to make their case, he said. The FBI and its big brother, the DOJ, have been investigating the riot. The outstanding question: who, exactly, led the breach and induced others to follow. Do we know for sure? If I were one of Mr. Trump’s lawyers, I’d seek to know.

But the defense is more likely to seek an immediate dismissal based on the folly of holding a proceeding designed to remove someone from office who is no longer in office. That ought to be enough. Or else they’ll show some choice video of their own, like of Capitol Police opening the barricades on the outdoor terrace and inviting the mob in, or another of persons inside the building before it was breached handing tools for breaking in through a window to the mob outside.

There’s a humdinger video of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) haranguing a mob outside the Supreme Court’s headquarters when the justices were inside hearing an abortion case. “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price!” Schumer yelled to the mob, who went on to bang menacingly on the Court’s front door. And what price would that be? The justices don’t have to run for reelection. As it happened, Chief Justice Roberts promptly admonished Mr. Schumer’s remarks as “inappropriate” and “dangerous.” Even Woke Harvard Law School Professor Laurence Tribe called Mr. Schumer’s language “inexcusable.”

Of course, behind this smokescreen of partisan bullshit is the question of election fraud, which the Democratic Party is seeking desperately to suppress. Their news media henchpersons have settled on the adjective “baseless” whenever the subject comes up in their reporting. They repeat it incessantly, Goebbels-style, to substantiate its truthiness, though it is not true. The truth is indeed the Deep State’s mortal enemy, and eventually it will make itself known.

    What goes around comes around. 2022 will mark the start of that only if Republicans get their act together.

    • shotho February 8, 2021 at 10:14 am #

      they have no act to get together.

    • Beryl of Oyl February 8, 2021 at 10:15 am #

      I’m afraid the Republicans are planning a surprise at the shampeachment.

    • DrTomSchmidt February 8, 2021 at 10:17 am #

      Did you read the time magazine article about how they “protected” “democracy” so that the proper result came about for the election? What makes you think that protection won’t extend to 2022?

      • MaryV February 8, 2021 at 11:26 am #

        Unbelievable. Admitting right out in the open that they should be allowed to fix any election so that the ‘right’ outcome occurs… and people are OK with that.

        Why this country is now a police state, basically.

      • Night Owl February 8, 2021 at 1:47 pm #

        Nah, man. They “fortified” it, like they just finished doing with DC, erecting a permanent fence and shipping in 25k troops to usher in the banana republic.

        Got to fortify those elections from the people.

      • ThorsHammer February 9, 2021 at 2:45 pm #

        The greatest accomplishment of the Orange Tweeter’s term as President was the idea of a Wall to separate his followers from the undesirables on the other side.

        The only problem was that Trump got the location entirely wrong.

        The Biden Razor Wire Wall around the Capital is at least close to being in the right location. It just needs to be built of steel, electrified, and the razor wire at the top turned around to face inward. Arming 100,000 thousand National Guard troops guarding the Capitol with personal Stingers should prevent any attempt to leave by helicopter or re-supply by air. With only a one-way entrance gate to the entire Capitol, whenever lobbyists from the Swamp came to deliver their briefcases full of $100 dollar bills they could only enter but never leave. (Just like the Hotel California)

        Survival of the Fittest has always been the motto of political competition, but when the supply of prime steaks in the freezers runs out and the legislators have to turn to Long Pig it would put competition in an entirely different light.

    • abbybwood February 8, 2021 at 1:32 pm #

      And only if Pelosi, Schumer and Biden’s puppet masters are not allowed to pass legislation nationalizing elections (unconstitutional) that would allow mail-in voting with no signature verifications, ballot harvesting, longer voting periods etc.

      I think it’s called “The Democrats Win Forever Act”.

      If there is more fraud in 2022 and Democrats manage to continue their coup (cause that’s what it has been since Trump came down the escalator in 2015, a rolling coup by the power elite/swamp/Deep State).

      So, either we get the states to clean up their election acts and hold their Constitutional ground to conduct their elections how they choose, or we are doomed.

      The republicans as a viable party is DOA as they pandered to the 1% leaving the main street in the dust.

      The best and only thing the Republican Party can do is revamp the party and like its old Whig Party chose anther name for it seeing the stench from it will linger for years as the party of the robber barons. Starting with Reagan they gutted the country destroying the manufacturing base society and the middle class along with it.!!

      • benr February 11, 2021 at 2:15 pm #

        You willfully ignore the fact the Dems are 100% doing the same thing and far more.

    Time to impeach the Chief Justice for failure to do his job.

    • DrTomSchmidt February 8, 2021 at 10:18 am #

      That would be funny. If the impeachment is Constitutional, and he is refusing a Constitutional duty, he should be impeached.

      • noel bodie February 8, 2021 at 10:21 am #

        Well, of course it’s constitutional.

        • DrTomSchmidt February 8, 2021 at 11:01 am #

          Excellent. Then there’s a basis for impeaching Roberts. Let me know when they set that up. It’s about time we let the Supremes know they’re not supreme.

          • Night Owl February 8, 2021 at 1:48 pm #

            We are going to rely on laws? Based on the installation of President Cabbage, I don’t think this is going to go well for the American people.

          • Tekapo February 8, 2021 at 3:14 pm #

            No case for impeaching Chief Justice John Roberts.

            The Founders made clear that when an impeachment trial concerns a sitting president, “the Chief Justice shall preside.” However the Constitution does not have any such requirement for other officers facing impeachment, or for a private citizen – which Trump now is.

            I think it’s reasonable that Chief Justice Roberts not preside when it’s not the president on trial.

          • benr February 8, 2021 at 3:23 pm #

            This is the stupidest bunch of political hack nonsense in US history IMPEACHMENT is for removing someone from office.
            Trump is no in office and therefor can’t be impeached.
            Anyone signing on to this should be removed from office for wasting everyone’s time.
            I would say this is Biden did the right thing and stepped down but was then impeached for all of his impeachable offenses.

          • Tekapo February 8, 2021 at 10:37 pm #

            “This is the stupidest bunch of political hack nonsense in US history IMPEACHMENT is for removing someone from office. Trump is not in office and therefor can’t be impeached.”

            If Trump were to be convicted by the Senate, the “sentence” could be being barred from holding any future federal office. Removal from office isn’t the only possible outcome, nor the only reason to impeach.

            And being out of office isn’t a defense from being barred for life – otherwise a president could resign just before the “sentence” is voted on in the Senate trial – which would obviously be a huge loophole.

          • cbeard February 9, 2021 at 7:45 am #

            All the evidence you need to impeach Roberts would come from the fact that he refused to hear the evidence of massive, blatant election fraud.

          • bluedog February 9, 2021 at 11:34 am #

            Wishful thinking they are all in bed together and the lol high court is as corrupt as all the other branches of the government, and the only reality is the reality they put forth and your not going to beat it.!!!

          • Tekapo February 9, 2021 at 4:55 pm #

            “All the evidence you need to impeach Roberts would come from the fact that he refused to hear the evidence of massive, blatant election fraud.”

            Just a technical point – the Supreme Court does not hear evidence as part of its function … it considers appeals from lower courts, if and only if there are federal constitutional issues that need to be resolved.

            The case brought be Texas (with 17 other state attorneys-general joining) was proposed on the grounds that the Supreme Court is also empowered to hear inter-state disputes.

            The court ruled overwhelmingly that the Texas argument was invalid, and the case did not get to first base. Texas had no standing.

      • Hated American February 8, 2021 at 8:46 pm #

        They are impeaching Trump because they know he is legally the President. Now they are “legally” removing him. They will say the cheating is moot because Orange Man Bad was “legally” removed.

        • abbybwood February 9, 2021 at 1:54 am #

          I thought the honest reason for this Senate charade was to prevent Trump from ever running again?

          I say they will fail and he should go for it but this time with blood-in his eyes, ready to straighten all the corruption out with great teams of loyal lawyers and they need to send Rudy To Passages in Malibu for a detox. He has been fermenting in really fine Scotch for long enough. Needs to come up for air and get his shit together sober to be of sound help.

          If Trump wants another term I would help him, if he is completely lasered I’m on the needs of the people and fully protecting the Constitution.

          We all need to start deputizing everywhere we go and giving people their cards to carry so the can deputize others:

          Raise your right hand and repeat after me:“I, State your name, do solemnly swear to preserve; protect and defend The US Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic, so help me God. I take this oath freely and patriotically to my fellow Americans who hold the same without fear or favor.”

          Fill out the card and give them more cards so they can go out and do the same.

          From then on they will be card-carrying supporters of the Constitution.

          Now that is a revolutionary act!

          • benr February 9, 2021 at 9:36 am #

            So is telling the truth.

          • bluedog February 9, 2021 at 11:40 am #

            Do you really think people care, I have news for you, they don’t all they care about are the “me too’s” everything else has no space in their minds, for you see you lost it when you voted for REAGAN MAKE IN 1980, you listened to his bullshit and now its splattered back all over you for the party thing was what you embraced, and now it’s all you have.!!

    Over the next 10 months, what will happen to the US economy?

    • shotho February 8, 2021 at 10:15 am #

      collapse; well, after next ‘stimulus’ wears off.

      • bluekayak February 8, 2021 at 10:20 am #

        It is unbelievable that we are not already in the midst of a hyperinflationary depression. I can’t see any other finale to this mess.

        • malthuss February 8, 2021 at 10:24 am #

          the trillions went to wall street, not main street.

          • nclaughlin February 8, 2021 at 2:04 pm #

            Right, the trillions went to Wall Street, hence asset price inflation (the worst kind of inflation), only a little to main street, hence very light inflation or even deflation.

        • Chippenhook February 8, 2021 at 1:05 pm #

          I too have been confused as to why high inflation hasn’t already set in. The manner in which they are spending trillions as if there are no consequences to debt of the current magnitude makes no sense. What am I not understanding?

          • benr February 8, 2021 at 1:29 pm #

            Really?

            Have you looked at happy meal prices since 2008?
            When BO started spending like a drunken sailor on shore leave?
            Congress should be fired for the spending levels on display since then.

          • Blackbird February 8, 2021 at 2:37 pm #

            I think it’s because the money isn’t trickling down to the citizens. Fed to banks to corporations to buy up their own stock – the money isn’t circulating. If this money were in general circulation we would see the effects of an inflated money supply. Instead it passes between few hands, inflating the stock market while avoiding the inflation that would eat up those capital gains.

          • cbeard February 9, 2021 at 7:58 am #

            Maybe we are not understanding that we have been lied to all our lives about economics, economies, taxes etc. Money is a figment of mans imagination, something to control the masses. God didn’t create it, it doesn’t grow from the ground, can’t be mined. It is only worth something as long as you believe it is valuable. Stock up on gold you say? You can look at and admire your pretty metal, but you can’t eat it, heat or defend your home with it. We could easily be coming back to barter. When everything crashes, I won’t take worthless cash for my products.

          • Bob12065 February 9, 2021 at 8:19 am #

            It may well be that folks are paying down their credit cards with the stimulus money. That’s what I am doing. I am not going out binge buying with that money.

      • SW February 8, 2021 at 10:58 am #

        “after next ‘stimulus’ wears off.”

        That would be in about 3 weeks after you get your check. And remember, not everyone is getting a check but here’s the math assuming that every person is:

        $1400 = stimulus check

        1.9 TRILLION dollars bailout

        population of US 330 million x $1400 = 4.62 billion

        So where’s the rest of the 1.44 TRILLION going, going, gone? It’s been sold to us as ” help for struggling Americans and small businesses” — so are they going to pay all the back rent and mortgage payments that have stacked up? Bailout cities that have paid their teachers for almost a year for not doing their job? And why is this not receiving any attention at all in mainstream media?

        • draupnir February 8, 2021 at 11:08 am #

          Because they know most can’t do basic math and the media doesn’t want to point the discrepancy out. Some of that slush is probably slated to arrive in their wallets.

          I’m one of them.
          I’m okay with that, in a way, but I know people who really needed the money and didn’t get it.

          Now we’ll have more money to not get.

          • beantownbill. February 8, 2021 at 11:52 am #

            If you were eligible for a stimulus check and didn’t get one, you can claim the amount as a tax credit on your 2020 tax return. I believe that the 1st stimulus amount qualifies for a credit as well, but you should check to make sure.

          • MiddlePeninsula February 8, 2021 at 1:09 pm #

            I just finished my tax return. Due to a retirement in 2020, we slipped barely below the threshold. Not only did we get the second stimulus but they also made us whole on the first. And we were able to get the increased medicare premium abated. Now, we really don’t need it so I booked first class airline tickets on an upcoming vacation. My granddaughter will be thrilled. I am sending my stimulus out to the wider world. No wonder the U.S. Is broke.

          • Night Owl February 8, 2021 at 1:51 pm #

            Maybe they had some Purple Revolutionists checking to ensure that no deplorables got checks.

            Here is Merck’s answer to Covid-19 after trying to develop a vaccine and finding the efficacy was less than desirable:

            Best to just catch Covid-19 and take Zinc, Vitamin D3, Selenium, C and to take the therapeutics like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloraquine etc. Best immune response is what your own immune system performs!

            What a shame all our doctors don’t have all seniors and those who are immuno-compromised etc. on the above regimen.

            Funny how YouTube censored the Senate testimony of a doctor who was telling of how well Ivermectin is performing in clinical trials in “other” countries.

            Thankfully the FDA finally got the memo (especially after families won in court so their doctors could prescribe Ivermectin to their very ill family members), to allow American doctors to prescribe a drug that is a cheap anti-parasitical, potent anti-viral and anti-bacterial. It won the Nobel Peace Prize several decades ago for saving millions in Africa. BAN IT!!!

        Sorry Doc, but I fear that optimism has not a chance in manifesting. This will go on for the forseeable future and get worse.

        The reason – it’s not just the government locking people down anymore, the majority of the population is locking itself down and policing themselves and each other.

        The majority will resist taking off their masks and staying six feet apart until the cows come home, regardless what their mayor, governor or president says.

        They bought this thing first because they were scared (and who didn’t question the outdoors for at least a week or two last March?), but now as a sign of feeling important and part of the team, and they’re in it up to their wrists.

        • DrTomSchmidt February 8, 2021 at 11:24 am #

          I live in a community where people on the streets walk without masks. Ones nearby have everyone masked, sometimes because of law, sometimes because it’s the group identifier. My community has seceded from the insanity, probably because our schools aren’t good so parochial school is where most of the kids go. Wealthy towns with good schools, by contrast, have people who cannot afford to go against the grain for social reasons.

          In some sense, my area are wealthy white proles; like black and Hispanic proles, they largely ignore the prevailing wisdom.

          I suspect that a lot of the right-leaning whites locally will have decamped, and soon, to more friendly states. If the Feds do not enforce on places like Florida, then you’ll have competing visions. So long as the open states don’t get taxed to pay for the closed ones (and 10 of the highest unemployment states have D governors, excepting MA, which is probably the bluest state), there’s hope.

          Not much, I grant you.

            Doc – “Wealthy towns with good schools, by contrast, have people who cannot afford to go against the grain for social reasons.”

            And are they not the communities that have the most influence?

            We walk around outside un-masked freely in my area too, but go into a store? Not so much. I forgot my mask once walking into the grocery store and made it all the way back to the milk section before people started staring at me. I realized why and hurried back to my car to grab it. That’s the social reasons you’re talking about. And you’re right.

            And even the impoverished and backwoods folks have their own versions of that need for social acceptance. The game is too far along for a great awakening where, say, suddenly it’s announced that enough people are vaccinated and people can choose to live freely again.

            I wish everyone had the resources to move to another state if it fit them better…but upwards of 40% of the workforce is now either forced onto the dole or now under-employed, when they used to be able to think past next month’s bills.

            I would suggest from within my sphere of friends and family that those who are most taken up in the hysteria and posturing are those for whom the pandemic has granted the usual (if not enhanced) financial comfort. Those who have shifted downward are much more likely to see through the nonsense and focus on what’s actually important – self preservation.

            “Wealthy white proles”-
            I had a city employee stop by my home, I guess because a department head of a blue collar department qualifies fhim as a wealthy white prole, relative to a lot of the residents.

            It took me a few minutes to realize, he hadn’t bothered with a mask at all, as opposed to some of the city workers I see either wearing one or having it pulled down on their chin.

            He was good looking so I didn’t mind the fact that he could have killed me with his face, as much as I should have.

          There was the original hint of a suspicion that this could have been some kind of intentional release of a bioweapon.

          The MSM and some governments did their best to fan that fear.

          I started checking for myself on some of their more extravagant claims, almost right away, and when I looked up a mask study I remembered, and found it had been removed because it didn’t fit “the climate”, not because it wasn’t sound science, that was enough for me to understand the con was on, and keep digging.

          I wondered where anybody ever got the idea that ventilators were some sort of essential treatment for the virus, and I quickly found out that they weren’t, and that the notion that they were came straight from the CCP.

          Anybody could have looked this stuff up for themselves, but most did not see a reason to do so, because they didn’t understand that the MSM would deliberately spread lies.

          It did not help that the president’s task force was spreading those lies as well.

          • benr February 8, 2021 at 11:55 am #

            @boo

            Ventilators are not being used to treat the virus but to keep the heavily infected from expelling large amounts of the virus out as they are a partially closed and filtered system.

            What was happening is the doctors/nurses kept having to increase the pressure since the lungs no longer moved oxygen in and waste products out and were essentially damaging the already damaged lung tissue.

          • GreenAlba February 8, 2021 at 12:19 pm #

            Ventilators are still being used where necessary.

            As time went on, more people were put on non-invasive respirators, but sometimes that’s not enough and really sick people have to be sedated and put on a ventilator after another respirator has been tried. Something like half of them survive. One guy here was in hospital for about 7 months, with a chunk of that on a ventilator. But he made it, eventually. And probably thankful he didn’t live in a country where it would have bankrupted him 10 times over.

            All the ventilator (or any other respirator) is doing is supporting you, in the absence of your lungs being able to, while you fight the virus.

        • sstumpff February 8, 2021 at 2:26 pm #

          My experience is just the opposite.

          Most people just don’t want to catch it and latch on to whatever is available: D3, Zinc, Vit C, Masks, Distancing, Avoiding crowds. Granted, where I live there is not a big group of virtue signalers.

            What a delightful injection of unsensational common sense.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 9, 2021 at 10:38 am #

            Alba, I understand pretty much where you’re coming from, but if I’m correct you appear to think that my concern over covid hysteria reaching into our lives too far and changing the way we view and interact with the people we’ve known our whole lives is not common sense?

            If this keeps up, in ten years our younger children won’t even remember that things used to be different (for thousands of years), or even know why they should want them to be.

            The fact that sstumpf mentioned Zinc and Vit C (and I would add diet, sunlight and exercise) is more than the government here has done in regards to public messaging. They don’t want us to stay immune, they want us to be scared, masked, nagging at each other and staying home on the dole.

            That is something to be concerned about. Therefore, common sense to think about such things, no?

          • GreenAlba February 9, 2021 at 1:51 pm #

            Mr Mango

            I enjoy your posts and find you full of common sense, mostly.

            I agree that there has been an overblown tone from television channels in particular. We filter it as appropriate. Perhaps they could have had a dedicated Covid channel, indicated by a modest banner while the news is on, for those who want details! And I agree that some agencies like to spread fear and some people just have a taste for drama.

            In this particular case, all I meant was that I also live in a locality where there is an apparent lack of hysteria. My flat is in an area which, in addition to owner-occupiers like me, there are lots of HMOs*, mostly full of students. I am perfectly sure that they are not all abiding by the no-get-togethers rule, although I don’t hear that much noise. My daughter, who is fed up to the eyeballs of the schools being closed again, blames partying students, among others – and the young people she sees over her way congregating without a care – for that for the fact that her son is not at school. But she also blames Nicola Sturgeon.

            I don’t like lockdowns (especially for children) or people losing their jobs. This was my position 6 months ago and I can’t see anything in it I’d change now:

            https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/good-trouble-and-not-good-trouble/#comment-510902

            BUT, while YMMV, I don’t believe that the NHS would have coped if we’d gone along with no mitigation at all.

            I even accept ‘society’s’ right to say it accepts overflowing hospitals – but in that case I demand that society produce an agreed protocol which lists clearly who gets first dibs for any spare hospital bed in such situations – the 40-year-old with serious Covid or the 40-year-old with cancer or heart failure. And I expect any responsible government, in such a situation, to provide sedation that people can use at home to avoid dying in a way they wouldn’t tolerate if it was their dog. I’m not interested in pointless rhetoric along the lines of ‘people die – get over it’.

            I’m taking Vits C and D too, plus zinc. I’m also self-medicating with a daily baby aspirin because trials have shown it helps to have done this if you end up in hospital (it’s an anti-viral as well as an anti-coagulant). Don’t tell my GP.

            But I have also read that, while Vit D and so on are good for your immune system generally, they won’t stop you getting Covid or indeed from getting sick. It would be irresponsible to tell people all they need to do is take vitamins and they’ll be fine. And certainly over here, I’d say there’s been much positive coverage of the exercise issue. (Having said that almost everyone I speak to is taking Vit D so they’re getting the message from somewhere!).

            But my point was mainly that I don’t see anyone around here being nagging or hysterical towards anyone else. We met my husband’s sister at the weekend for a walk. She arrived wearing a mask; we arrived without, because we don’t wear them outside. I felt a bit guilty in case she thought we were not taking care on her behalf, but we never mentioned her mask and she never mentioned our lack of one. There are other things to talk about, even now.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 10, 2021 at 10:11 am #

            Alba – “But I have also read that, while Vit D and so on are good for your immune system generally, they won’t stop you getting Covid or indeed from getting sick. It would be irresponsible to tell people all they need to do is take vitamins and they’ll be fine.”

            True. But I’m just suggesting they mention it at all. The CDC’s own website, if you scroll down a bit and find the “Protect Yourself” link, then goes to a page that suggests the following to protect yourself:

            – Wear a mask
            – Stay 6 feet away from others
            – Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces
            – Wash your hands often
            – Cover coughs and sneezes
            – Clean and disinfect
            – Monitor your health daily (temperature/symptoms)
            – Get vaccinated

            Not a damn thing about exercise, Vit C/D or Zinc likely helping your immune system to resist infection before you may encounter the bug in the first place. That’s what I’m pointing out here.

            Alba – “…all I meant was that I also live in a locality where there is an apparent lack of hysteria.”

            Luckily, I do as well. Most people here are quite reasonable (if not muttering under their breath from time to time). We go about our daily lives fairly normally, except when in a building that isn’t our home – then we mask and attempt to distance. I’m referring to the type of over-hyping and hysteria that has people buying into the fear and subsequent lifestyle modifications more than they should *on their own*, without government or medical mandate. It’s now a self-policed social mandate, and an indicator of “awareness status”.

            This is a new form of virtue signaling.

            Hope I was able to articulate that distinction here.

          I knew that all was lost early last summer when I was fly fishing for trout and two Karens came floating by in their Kayaks fully masked up to protect themselves from all the Corvids roosting on the willows and waiting to pounce on them.

          Dr Tom, in my little valley of 10,000 residents the one main street has giant flashing screens reminding people that it is illegal to proceed further without muzzling up even while in your car. The main employer is the local ski area where, in order to be allowed to operate, all the lift operators have been deputized as Mask Police. They spend their days ordering customers to lift their diapers up to cover their noses while exercising in the cold mountain air. 90% of the diapers being worn are balaclavas or surgical masks which are barely sufficient to prevent mosquitos from passing through them.

          A wealthy local benefactor purchased 10,000 copies of the Moderna gene modification shots and is distributing them free to the community, so everybody will be fine as long as we keep wearing three masks each.

          “If I bandied about the prefix DR, I would hope the protective theater goes on forever. ”

          Well, my significant other doesn’t want it to go on for any time at all because he’s had quite enough, in his late 60s and with a compromised immune system, of having to go into care homes and patients’ houses inadequately protected. And then trying to take off a possibly virus-laden plastic pinny as it blows around in the wind outside, because them’s the rules. Not in the patient’s house.

          Thankfully he’s recently (partially) vaccinated, but he’s also pissed off that a 95-year-old with advanced dementia, who is unaware of their own existence or anyone else’s, is higher up the list to be vaccinated than the doctor who has to go into care homes and be exposed to potential Covid patients. He finds it indecent. Mind you, he finds the idea of vaccinating a 95-year-old with advanced dementia against pretty much anything indecent anyway. But such is modern life – everyone (care homes in this case) covering their backs to avoid being sued by neurotic relatives.

          Also, many hospital doctors and nurses are suffering from burnout. A number have left the profession because of it, including some, during the current iteration, who receive daily insults and even death threats on social media from the ‘it’s a hoax brigade’, which is the icing on the toxic cake.

          BTW, my SO doesn’t ‘bandy about’ the prefix Dr. Things are democratic here these days and doctors are no longer considered worthy of respect, so they introduce themselves to patients as ‘John’ or ‘Julie’.

      Learned helplessness is a rational, intelligent response for an individual in that state. For a society it means death. If the individually crippled people could communicate with each other and learn that the individual struggling will suffer while the collective exhausts the captors, it might change things.

        I have had someone blame not me, but people like me, Trump supporters and those who don’t believe in masks, for the death of one of her relatives.

        This is someone I have known since she was a young teen. She does not know that I am a Trump supporter, or that I don’t “believe” in wearing a mask.

        What can be said about this mindset?
        I killed her relative because I don’t want to wear a mask? Because I voted for President Trump, who BTW did everything that fraud Fauci told him to?

        She goes off on me without even knowing what she’s talking about, or even getting her facts straight?

          What about the Trump impeachment, leaving aside the COVID terror campaign (where a real disease with real effects has been blown so completely out of proportion due to its benefits for the political class.), as our original poster mentioned? How many people who voted for Biden wanted this as the first priority, rather than a fix to, say, the healthcare racket (Pelosi as Speaker means no chance for Medicare for all, which seems to be pretty popular in the D party.)?

          No matter who gets elected, the priorities of the grifter class predominate. Climate change as a means to shut down fossil fuel production so as to keep it too expensive for the poor, and maybe a nice carbon tax to skim more from the rubes. Transgender athletes: if more than 10% of Democrats had that as highest priority (day 1!) I’d be absolutely stunned.

          That people are inert in the face of this is not stupidity, individually. If they had a leader who might show them how to overturn it, they might be willing to sacrifice for the cause. For now, they can see what happens to the “insurrectionists” at the Capitol: those people are going to be crucified.

            It’s basically like being a football fan. Once declared a supporter for one team, the automatic behavior for most is to trash the other team (and the refs), even if initially in good-natured jest. But it becomes a part of what you choose to think say when A or B happens for years after.

            I hear where you’re coming from, calling people “on the other side” dumb is not a good solution (though many on the left have been doing that for four straight years, including long-time friends of mine who have no idea how ignorant they sound to me when parroting the same tripe that their other friends and family squawk out into the world, without explanation or extra-headlinial thought.).

          It’s ironic now to see how Biden is presented as the hero who’ll getting the vaccine out and saving America. He’s been in office not quite 3 weeks yet no credit is given to the former administration for developing and manufacturing the vaccine. It’s as if it fell from the sky like manna.

            That’s correct — private industry did develop the vaccine with lots of backing by the Federal Government. No one’s suggesting Trump & Fauci were in a lab with a Mr. Wizard chemistry set cooking up a vaccine. Just like JFK probably did none of the math that put the first man on the moon but he gets credit (rightly so) for implementing the program.

            I think it’s important to give credit where credit is due. George Bush started a program in Africa that apparently was very successful curbing the spread of HIV and he deserves credit for that too.

      Sadly, for the young skulls full of mush under 40 who have “graduated” (ha ha) from the public schools and the universities over the past 20 years, most have never read nor heard either, so such references fall flat with them.

        It reminds me of “A Canticle for Leibowitz”. After the flame deluge (a nuclear war), anyone with any education was executed. All the books were burned, but monks were able to protect some and dutifully copied them over the centuries although they could not understand them.
        Our government is determined to have a peasant class easily swayed by propaganda, with a thin slice of elite and slightly larger slice of technical/administrative folks. Forget critical thinking!
        Although it touches on the world of wo-wo, some folks think that the elite will eventually leave a ruined, overun planet with their superior, secret technology. Who knows, but it sounds like a plan hatched by a bunch of psycopaths. I always perk up when some disgruntled scienctist claims secret technology is 50 years ahead. Your looted billions at work.

    I believe I mentioned here before, that this first time the voodoo “social distance” concept was heard of, was in a movie.

    Now it’s been admitted, they are basing a lot of this pandemia on a Hollywood production:
    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/covid-vaccine-strategy-hancock-contagion-movie-b1796923.html

    I would say you can’t make this stuff up, but that’s exactly wahat they did, they made this stuff up and passed it off as science.

    I haven’t seen the film, I wonder if it features frightened people running around in useless diapers on their faces?

    It’s a good thing they didn’t decide to base the “response” on a Road Runner cartoon, they’d be dropping anvils on those who test positive.

    What brought that to mind right now is that elements of this impeachment are starting to sound familiar to me, and I just remembered why- this is reminiscent of an episode of Poldark on Masterpiece.

    • GreenAlba February 8, 2021 at 11:30 am #

      Bad Faith Beryl. Again.

      Did you read the article? I just did. It says Matt Hancock was inspired (but only partly) by the film Contagion to make sure the UK ordered enough vaccine in plenty of time, so that fights over distribution could be avoided. That’s what it says, Beryl. Not that the film inspired a pretend pandemic or anything else about it.

      The EU wasn’t so quick to get its arse in gear, and its representatives are now running around like headless chickens, lashing out at anyone who was organised in time.

      Given the shambolic nature of the Johnson government’s response to the pandemic in every other way, I’d say this is one instance where Matt the App actually got something right.

      So while I haven’t seen the film – and am untroubled by the use of masks or otherwise in it – it’s probably OK that Hancock did.

      But not vital, because it was only one of his reasons.

      Whether or not you wish to be vaccinated, it makes no sense to have a shambolic delivery system for those who do.

      “Now it’s been admitted, they are basing a lot of this pandemia on a Hollywood production:”

      Like I said, Bad Faith Beryl.

      BTW, just to add to the list of things that invoke your ire, my daughter popped by the other day, in the freezing cold, with my grandson. As they’d walked here, I asked her why he was wearing a mask. She said he’d asked to run back and get it because it kept his face warm.

      So refreshing to see someone entirely lacking in neurosis.

      • Beryl of Oyl February 8, 2021 at 11:40 am #

        I didn’t say that. Alba. Where did I say the film inspired a pandemic?

        What I did say, quite clearly, is that the film contains the first mention of social distancing.

        The pandemia is not the pandemic.

        What is your problem?

        Your daughter doesn’t know enough to provie her child with a warm scarf in the cold?

        That doesn’t provoke my ire.

        • GreenAlba February 8, 2021 at 12:05 pm #

          You said ‘now it’s been admitted, they are basing a lot of this pandemia on a Hollywood production’. Nothing of the sort was admitted, just something about having enough vaccine to go round.

          My daughter provides my grandson with scarves (but your comment doesn’t surprise me, given your attitudes). But he’s a boy and doesn’t like things flapping around him.

          • Beryl of Oyl February 8, 2021 at 12:20 pm #

            They have come out and said that they have watched the film and it has influenced their response.

            My attitude? You are the one who challenges me, based on things you seem to think that I think.

            It bothers you that I go against what we are allowed to think about the COVID? What?

            So why doesn’t the kid have a gaiter?

          • GreenAlba February 8, 2021 at 2:36 pm #

            ‘They’ was one person, and he only mentioned vaccine distribution.

            Your ‘attitude’ made you infer that my daughter is too stupid to buy her child scarves. Have you had children? It’s sometimes hard enough to get hers to wear a jacket when it’s cold, but he seems to like the mask keeping his mouth and nose from freezing. He’s not required to be entirely logical – he’s eight.

            It doesn’t bother me in the slightest that you go against what you’re ‘allowed to think’. We both think what we like, so presumably you aren’t bothered either by people responding to your posts, and not always agreeing with everything.

            BTW, masks help. Not prevent, help.

            Fauci co-wrote a paper in 2008, the conclusion of which is that in the 1918 pandemic, the ensuing mask-wearing caused even more illness because of infections.

            I guess that’s one study you’ve just glossed over.

          Note how The Narcissist responds. It is “untroubled by the use of masks.”

          Note that the issue most intelligent individuals have is that the mask is mandatory in many places and they are moving to make the vaccine mandatory for travel and potentially more, despite ineffectiveness and, for the vaccine, the concept being a human rights abuse.

          Bad faith. Every time.

            Note how a narcissist refers to a person whose sex he knows as ‘it’. And refers to a passing, light-hearted comment on a film as if it mattered. The original comment was hardly serious.

            I think it’s helpful if people are urged to wear masks, and I support shops and bus companies in their right to protect their staff and customers as they see fit. I have said before I don’t approve of legal sanctions for those who refuse.

            I don’t approve of the vaccine being mandatory either, and have also said that before. I’m not sure how you prevent private companies from introducing rules that they think will help their industry get back on its feet, while covering themselves against any future accusations of helping bring new variants to countries that had so far managed to avoid them.

            I had to get a cholera vaccination when I went to Tunisia at age 20. The French wouldn’t have let us back in without it, because there was a cholera outbreak while we were there. Not sure what you’re supposed to do in such cases to keep everyone happy. But I don’t support mandatory vaccination in principle generally, except in extremis.

            And I don’t feel inclined to lower myself to call you ‘it’. You may be a narcissist but you are still a person of whose sex I am aware.

            I can find you the conversation I had with Janos about exactly why I thought it made no sense to oblige people to be vaccinated in order to fly, among other things. But you are so malignant that you don’t make me feel obliged to do so. However, I know it wasn’t that long ago and can find it if necessary.

            I hadn’t taken into account the possibility of new variants being take to countries where they were trying to avoid them, though.

            “In other words, you prefer the American model of letting the private sector destroy the Free Men. That’s very charitable of you. Can they also deny Homosexuals? Or Blacks because of their constant shoplifting? Or just Covid deniers?”

            I have no idea what part of my post you are referring to.

            You and I had a reasonable discussion. I said I saw no justification for insisting on air passengers being vaccinated, specifically because the vaccines don’t appear to prevent infection, but just prevent infected people from getting sick and dying. So if I’m vaccinated, it’s my choice to get on a plane and not anyone else’s responsibility to ensure that I’m safe. If I decline the vaccination, I can be assumed to be happy taking the risk of flying (extrapolate to other activities at your leisure).

            The only thing I didn’t include in my reasoning was that in the case of international travel, foreign governments are involved who may wish to keep new variants out of their country, if their own people are vaccinated against early strains. I have no view on whether this is any kind of human right for the recipient country.

            I didn’t say I approved of the actions of the private companies, merely that I don’t know what you do about it.

            Do you think that the authorities in Marseille, back in 1972, should have allowed my friend and me back in from Tunisia (without quarantine) without the requisite cholera vaccination certificate, while there was an epidemic in part of that country? I’m sure a cholera outbreak in southern France would have been relatively easily quashed before a dramatic number of people died.

            It seems to me that cases have been won by the bakers who did not wish to bake cakes with messages that offended them. Certainly that is what happened in Northern Ireland.

            And Peter Tatchell, long-time most famous gay activist, applauded the right of such bakers not to have to bake a cake with a pro-gay message on it. But you can’t refuse to sell a gay person some random meringues, as far as I understand.

            You can also refuse to bake a cake with a white supremacist message on it or one calling for death to vegans or Rastafarians.

            You try everything, always, to prove nonsense.

      That’s exactly what they did.

      And, just a month into the scheduled plandemic, the WE Forum had already designed an info graphic that drills down 1000s of levels, and looks like the virus (not kidding – see for yourself) and had a whole Covid19 Platform planned – which includes the Great Reset engineering:

      https://intelligence.weforum.org/topics/a1G0X000006O6EHUA0?tab=publications

      I found this the second week of March. As someone who is a UX designer and former database admin, I can see that this took months or years to create but they slapped it up in a couple of weeks? A whole plan for the planet etc.?

      Then of course there has been the symptoms. First there was blood clotting, first kids didn’t get it, then it was more like a cold, then it was more like the flu, then it was more like sepsis, then it was more like cancer, now it’s pretty much ‘death rebranded’ as a friend of mine describes it.

      It’s ridiculous, and anyone with an ounce of sense who isn’t brainwashed by the TV should be able to see it. But yet, the sheeple keep self-muzzling for the masters. It really is sad to see people tormenting their own children but at this point, they are like programmed robots or zombies.

            Then we interact as though it all doesn’t matter, because deep down we all know it doesn’t. Some of them even need to verbalize it, but they always act normal afterwards.

    Let us have a look at things. Unemployment is still at Great Depression levels – check. The Xiden administration is waging war against domestic energy production with the result being fuel prices are already 20% higher since an 20 – check. Inflations appears to be inching towards hyperinflation – check. A “vaccine” that appears to cause tremendous harm is being forced on the public – check.

    So, in the midst of all of that, we are now going to have a show trial? Seriously, if this isn’t some kind of divine retribution of the kind that the ancients wrote about then I don’t know what is.

        This will only happen if the controllers are not strictly partisan Democrats, since the cities would suffer the highest starvation rates and they are the base of all Democrat support.

        But, if elitists like Bill Gates are the ones who drop the trap door simply to reduce global populations by 90%, then I suppose this could happen at any moment. Gates may be a Democrat, but I strongly suspect that his utopian visions hold a tighter grip on his allegiance than any mere political party. The Dems are just another tool to guys like Gates. They use them, and then dispose of them when they are no longer needed.

      About that forced vaccine.

      I saw over the weekend, a story about a woman getting a vaccination publicly, in order to encourage others not to be afraid of its safety.

      A diaper on her face, of course. What was unusual about this was the fact that the woman was an MD, and visibly pregnant.

      It can be inferred that she was encouraging other pregnant women to accept the vaccine.

      The horror of the story is, the trials for the vaccine excluded pregnant women. It’s an experimental vaccine, with no testing at all on pregnant women, and if an MD had checked the science at all, I can’t believe a healthy woman would do this to herself, but she did, and she lost her baby.

      A number of the commenters at the site where I read the story thought it must be fake.
      So did I.

      I checked it out myself and she’s a real doctor.

      This is what happens when you politicize a virus, and when you “believe” in science like it’s your religion.

        “The horror of the story is, the trials for the vaccine excluded pregnant women. It’s an experimental vaccine, with no testing at all on pregnant women […]”

        Not entirely true, it seems.

        https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jan/13/doctor-pregnant-taking-covid-coronavirus-vaccine

        “Both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines didn’t have pregnant women in the study cohort at the beginning. However, some women ended up being pregnant during the study period. The risk of adverse events related to pregnancy were not increased in the vaccine group compared to the placebo group. Moderna also listed a combined developmental and perinatal/postnatal toxicity result that showed no adverse effects on female reproduction and fetal/embryonic development.”

        Also interesting in view of claims that the vaccines render women infertile.

        • GreenAlba February 8, 2021 at 11:12 am #

          Note also that 6 people died during the Pfizer trials.

          Four of them had been given the placebo and 2 the vaccine.

          • Beryl of Oyl February 8, 2021 at 11:43 am #

            Okay, it’s an experimental vaccine, with incidental testing on pregnant women.

            Still not good enough to encourage pregnant women to take the shot, even if you want it yourself.

          • GreenAlba February 8, 2021 at 11:58 am #

            Every vaccine is an experimental vaccine until enough people have taken it, for a long-enough time, for everyone to pretty much relax.

            I’m absolutely in agreement that it hasn’t had the long-term testing history that they normally have. And I support anyone who says they don’t want to take it because of that. Or indeed because of anything else. Just because is enough for me. But I’m not the one insulting people for their choices. My choice is mine; your choice is yours; but I don’t come on here proactively telling people they’re fools if their choice isn’t the same as mine. I only respond to things that come under the rubric of er … fibs and propaganda.

            BTW, one of the reasons the rollout has been so fast (I know this from the Oxford vaccine, but assume the others were the same) is that, normally, financing and production don’t start till after a vaccine has been approved. In this case, financing piled in, to get the thing done quickly, and production started before the vaccine was approved, so that it would be ready to run when/if it was. But in the knowledge that if it wasn’t, a whole lot of investment money would go down the pan, along with the manufactured but unusable vaccine.

            And pregnant women don’t really see their minds turn to jelly as folklore sometimes suggests. They are perfectly capable of making up their own mind after seeing someone say they’ve chosen to – or chosen not to.

            An old school friend of mine got in touch this morning to say that her friend, who is in hospital with the hoax, is not expected to live. Her family have been informed.

            I have no reason to suppose she’d have wanted the economy to shut down and people lose their jobs to give her another 20 years, but I think she might have said OK to the vaccine.

        • Soul Forensics February 8, 2021 at 2:04 pm #

          GA,

          Many problems with that Guardian-linked story, which I read.

          Not specified as to when the pregnant women became pregnant. 1st trimester? 3rd? Stage of fetus development matters.

          Development itself is not the standard that I’d be concerned about. Many fetuses and newborns are just fine until, as infants or young kids, and because of compromised immune systems having to do with unfortunate genetically coded fate, they’re blitzed by a plethora of health challenges: tonsillitis, measles/mumps/chicken pox/colds/fevers for which they’re given further immuno-compromising antibiotics, in addition to poor growth, digestive issues, headaches, behavioural problems, mental retardation, depression and withdrawal.

          Included in your pull quote is that “postnatal toxicity result[s] … showed no adverse effects on female reproduction and fetal/embryonic development.” Well, what happens in even the puerperal period? Did they not even bother to observe the babies during those post-popped six weeks?

          The studies are trash just on the grounds of rushed results. In addition, the sample size is way too low, there’s no triple (or even double) blinding, no statements of conflict of interest (easy for anyone to come to his or her own conclusions on that), and no randomized/demographic strictness and organization.

          Oh, and the article’s link to the CDC’s statement of “safety” for pregnant women came to that conclusion based on one study done on rats.

          You’re right in that people should have the power to make their own decisions. But those decisions aren’t made easier for the naive majority with the overwhelming official weight of “science is settled, so take the jab or else” narrative coming from the globalist agenda.

          • GreenAlba February 9, 2021 at 6:07 am #

            SF

            I don’t know how long the post-natal studies continued, but my understanding is that ALL volunteers, pregnant or not, are being followed up for several years. I would expect that to include children born during the trials, but I don’t know. People who wish to may wait those several years before taking the vaccine – or may decline it in perpetuity, as is the way with the flu vaccine.

            As I understand it, the pregnant doctor is writing as herself, not as a representative of any body (although I’d need to re-read it to ascertain that). The NHS is not advising pregnant women to be vaccinated, quite the opposite, as a precaution – I imagine healthcare workers are the only ones likely to insist upon it for themselves personally. They are aware of their own risks. A 28-year-old pregnant nurse died here in the first wave of the actual disease. Obviously an outlier at that age, but who knows whether they’re going to be an outlier? She wasn’t even working in a Covid ward (I think they have been trying to keep pregnant staff away from Covid wards) but she caught it anyway.

            I pay no attention to either the CDC or WHO. I only found that Graun article because someone claimed a woman in her position had subsequently lost her baby – that was what I was trying to find with my search, but I didn’t find it. The Guardian is not my go-to source of medical information any more than the CDC/WHO.

            I would not personally take a vaccine during pregnancy for anything short of ebola or plague, as a precaution. Likewise any other medication. The doctor in question by definition knows way more than I do about immunology and is able to make more informed decisions about the validity of the trials. I’ll leave her to her decision, just as I’d make my own if I were in her position.

            I agree with you that the trials are more rushed than would be ideal, which is why I thought long and hard myself about my own personal risk. My own personal risk assessment remains my right. And given that people keep telling me the over 80s, over 70s, over 60s, and even over-50s should expect to die from things like this, from time to time, without whingeing, then likewise if their choice to be vaccinated turns out to be unwise, they’ll be no loss to society in that circumstance either.

            You can give them all a Darwin award and celebrate the increase in IQ as the unvaccinated take over. I have no problem with that.

        I did not say the virus is a hoax. I have repeatedly stated much or most of the response to this virus is a scam.

        I keep getting the “I know someone who got sick with the hoax” response, which is not a response at all.

        The fact is, this quest for a vaccine that may or may not come, over research into treatment, and the deliberate suppression of viable treatment for this real virus, is what is killing many who could perhaps have been saved.

        Every time I delve into this topic, I get someone attacking me for things I did not say, and for not being sufficiently allegiant to the narrative, or something.

        As far as all vaccines being experimental, the rush job vaccines have skipped so much of the usual testing that it would be illegal to use them when no state of emergency exists.

        There is evidence that the safe and effective treatments available, are being deliberately suppressed.

        When there is a safe and effective treatment available, those rush job vaccines are illegal.

        The Pfizer experimental gene therapy cannot prevent you from getting the virus or transmitting it.

        They are openly telling us we will be in those worthless masks and “social distancing” (Hollywood science) until Bill Gates wipes out the virus.

        • GreenAlba February 8, 2021 at 1:02 pm #

          “I did not say the virus is a hoax.”

          I know you didn’t. Sometimes my comments include broader references than the exact person to whom I’m responding. My apologies for the lack of precision. The word ‘hoax’ has been repeated ad nauseam on here.

          Which stages of the testing do you think were missed? Both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were tested on animals (mice and macaques – lower doses than in previous coronavirus testing, which had caused problems), and have gone through Phase 1-3 trials. It’s just that various stages of the process were carried out concurrently instead of sequentially (an example being production starting well before approval, with the investors knowingly taking a massive financial risk).

          I agree with you that, in an ideal world, it would be great if we could wait until another five or ten years down the line, thumbs twiddling, to see if any really rare side effects might or might not occur. But I don’t see anything illegal.

          Bill Gates doesn’t occupy the space in our heads here that he does over your way (obviously) so I can’t comment on his possible messiah complex. But I don’t expect to be wearing a mask after most people have been given the opportunity to be vaccinated. I don’t think I’ve clocked up three hours of mask-wearing in the last year anyway.

          Hardly anyone in my locality wears them in the street unless they’re between two shops. But no-one is fussing either (on either side). Kids on buses don’t seem to be wearing them, as far as I can see, even though they’re supposed to. And no-one says anything, least of all the poor driver who’s exposed to everyone, without anyone banging pots for him/her. I find most of the hysteria is online.

        Well said, Beryl. They are using us as the experiment. This is actually in violation of the Nuremburg Principles, and a war crime.

        This vaccine is experimental.

        It’s not a vaccine at all really, it’s an RNA altering device.

        People are being killed by it, and maimed.

        Two women (both nurses) ended up with tremors – bad ones.

        I’m sure Gates is doing his duper’s delight smile 24/7 now, the homicidal maniac.

            I did and you didn’t acknowledge it. Maybe you missed it, though I don’t see how. I don’t want to accuse you of lying, but it is a possibility.

            See Ouspensky’s “Psychology of Lying”. Ordinary people lie constantly without knowing it. Thus it isn’t a mortal sin since its unconscious. Maybe this is the answer. As I said before, nothing outside the Mainstream is really real to you. Thus you naturally and unconsciously ignore such things when you see them. Eyes wide shut.

    Hoo ah.

    No I didn’t watch the Superbowl, but I heard it was some sort of COVID pageant.

    Those of you with young children or grandchildren, you might want to consider showing the girls that Brady clip, it may provide some immunity to the trans brainwashing being pushed at them.

    Heck, show the boys too. Maybe they won’t grow up into Pajama Boys and soy men.

      The halftime show was an obvious occult ritual.

      I would be very interested in John Michael Greer’s take on it.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 8, 2021 at 12:02 pm #

        Yes, it was disgusting and unnerving. Exactly the plan. Wtf with the red-eyed futuristic demon ensemble and the bandage-masked Michael Jackson Thriller-esque zombies lurching about (who couldn’t even really dance well)?

        But…those shows have been that way for quite some many years, I was not surprised. Just find it amusing they spent the rest of the show trying to be “uplifting”, yet they throw a damn ritual in your face for the half time show. They love to flaunt.

        At least some actors, musicians and dancers got a day’s work out the deal after the last year of cancellation…but as I mentioned, it was clear the dancers have not had much practice lately.

        Vigilant Citizen dot com is the man for that.

        Greer calls himself a Druid, but unlike the real Druids, he has zero concern for his own people. I asked why he didn’t stick with the Ceremonial Magic, of which he is a real scholar? No response.

        One time he said he wished he could live long enough to see the Hispanic/East Asian civilization that will arise on the West Coast. Some Druid. It will be the Phillipines 2.0. Big deal.

    What is baseless, is the Biden Regime and California Communist Party (CCP), formerly known as the Democrats.

    What is baseless, is any attempt to utilize the process’ and tools of our Republic because they have been superseded by the CCP’s secession from the Republic, and the establishment of their tyrannical Democracy.

    What is baseless is the normalcy bias on display by those who call themselves Republicans who seek redress of grievances through those process’ and tools.

    What is baseless, are the police powers under the abandoned Republic to enforce the Biden Regime’s edicts.

    What is baseless is the ordinary citizen’s responsibility to comply with those police powers.

    We are alone and adrift in no-man’s land.

    Reading Mr. Kunstler’s column this week I kept asking myself: “Why the Gobbel’s ‘Big Lie’ quote? The answer, delivered in the final paragraph, is ‘baseless’ claims of election fraud’ in MSM commentary post-election.

    Of course, other depictions of the election fraud story, repeated often enough, would also take on the ineluctable odor of ‘truthiness’ just as well.

    The truth is I will never know the truth, but I suspect it is not to be found within the beltway around Washington, DC. The proven geodesic-dome technology promulgated by Buckminster Fuller and demonstrated so well by the United States at the Expo ’67 World’s Fair in Montreal finds its best application now: build a geodesic dome over Washington, D.C. to contain all of the politicians and their lackeys, minions, lobbyists and fellow-travellers. Wrap the G.D. thing in stretch-and-seal and wait at a safe distance until it fogs up, and the CO2 concentrates enough to catch everyone inside’s attention. It may take a few years, but it might just provide the peasants with enough respite to apply themselves to solving other problems.

      Pro tip. You can read part of the evidence yourself at Ms. Powell or Mr. Pulitzer’s websites. You can watch the videos of the vans delivering ballots after the counting had supposedly stopped (in itself an absurd irregularity that should void all ballots counted after stoppage), and you can apply some basic logic.

      That logic being that if the evidence is not allowed to be presented in court, there is a high likilhood that it is powerful. There is no reason whatsoever to deny a sitting president and a team of powerful lawyers their day in court, unless the fraud was coordinated and the actions desperate.

      You can imagine how disillusioning that must have been, living in the British Columbia rain forest.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 8, 2021 at 12:19 pm #

      Exactly. Just said the same thing to my wife this morning. If they wanted to stage an insurrection, they would’ve staged an insurrection. That would involve guns, the hunting of certain figures of stature, and the taking of hostages, *with a stated goal to achieve*.

      Not a frat party escapade worthy of Animal House. Might as well have been a panty raid.

      Now…

      That a few people died is tragic, as always.

      But someone had die or be attacked in order to advance the narrative.

      One “insurrectionist” shot by the gubmint and one capitol officer hit with a flying object (thrown by some jackass who I believe remains publicly unidentified) who later died of a heart attack in the hospital…both are sad events, because it was all so unnecessary…but to call it an insurrection is about as disingenuous as it gets.

      That said, many in my extended family call it just that. Amongst them I keep my mouth shut.

    “The truth is indeed the Deep State’s mortal enemy, and eventually it will make itself known.”

    And then what? Face it. The Marxist/Leninist takeover is complete. From here on, 2+2 does not equal 4. It equals whatever they say it equals. Why do they do this? Because they know that they are now all powerful and the people are too divided and weak to put up any meaningful opposition to them (they’ve engineered it this way after decades of sowing discord between groups, such as between races, even between men and women). They know that they have a firm grip on the nation and can now make it bend over so that they can give it to Americans through the backdoor.

    We are now living in a fake democracy, and the rule of law has effectively come to an end. If the country were still psychologically healthy, it would be in a state of civil war, for the same reason that a body reacts to a disease or pathogen with fever, cough and diarrhea. If the body does not react this way, it belongs to the pathogen, meaning that the body is slowly dying.

    These people are so evil that they’ve convinced much of the nation that they’re the good guys and the good guys are the bad guys. They let criminals out of prison and persecute decent law-abiding citizens. They let mobs run riot and burn down cities for months, yet they throw a tantrum when the Capitol police let an uncoordinated rabble basically stroll into the building without even making an effort to resist them. They accuse their enemies of EXACTLY the very thing they themselves are guilty of and in spite of all this, their followers, who suffer from a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome, eat it all up. Their followers are like pigs defending the pig farmer against animal-rights activists.

    Face it… it’s over. The US is ROYALLY F**KED. Born in high ideals in 1776, died in 2020 from cynicism, bad faith, corruption and cultural subversion (and I should add demographic change too, since most immigrants come from countries which DON’T share America’s values). It was never going to last. It was always going to end, especially now that most of the western world has lost its religious faith. I didn’t expect this kind of ending, with a woke insurrection fueled by lies and hallucinations. But this is what you get when you don’t fight the long and corrosive process of cultural and ideological subversion by Marxism/Leninism.

        Germany 1933 wasn’t trying to destroy their nation. And such lies as they told were to strengthen it. Even the Soviets weren’t trying to destroy themselves. This is Globalist Communism under the direct control of the Globalists themselves.

        • DrTomSchmidt February 8, 2021 at 4:08 pm #

          People who were with the National Socialists were not expropriated. People opposed were not as lucky. I’d guess most people got by just fine until the bombs started landing on their cities.

          Under the Soviets a larger group was initially expropriated than in Germany. They got on to killing large numbers pretty quickly.

          My guess is you see killing large numbers, quickly, like the Soviets, versus a slowly closing trap like the Nazis, as more likely. That’s my call.

        You are delusional! The Dems defrauded an entire presidential election. The media, big tech and the judiciary system covered it up and never allowed the facts to see the light of day. They secretly called it “saving democracy”, but as with so many of their assertions, it’s the EXACT OPPOSITE of what they say it is. It was the subversion and destruction of the democratic process.

        Ask yourself this: if they stole an election while the Senate was majority Republican, and the president was Republican, why would they choose to lose when they now control all the halls of power? Don’t you get it. We’re now living in a fake democracy. The people vote one way, but the vote-count machines say something else. Get my drift? Venezuela has come to America.

            Tekapo –

            There are some facts presented (like in your refutation of my point up thread a bit where you posted an article about TX ballot boxes being “removed”).

            They’re just sometimes very wrong (like when I read the article and it doesn’t say anything about any ballot boxes being removed…just that they would be more limited in placement than dems wanted…before being placed).

            That’s what Owl is talking about. Words matter.

          • Tekapo February 12, 2021 at 5:10 am #

            “… I read the article and it doesn’t say anything about any ballot boxes being removed…just that they would be more limited in placement than dems wanted…before being placed.”

            Realistically – that is a distinction without a difference – “more limited in placement” means exactly the same as “removed”, or “reduced” if you like.

            But this is just one example of hundreds across the nation – of Republicans doing everything possible to make voting as difficult as possible, especially (and in most cases) only in Democrat-heavy neighbourhoods.

            Voter suppression is ugly and undemocratic – but the Republicans know that the more people vote, the more the party will suffer.

        • Tekapo February 9, 2021 at 5:21 pm #

          “You are delusional! The Dems defrauded an entire presidential election. The media, big tech and the judiciary system covered it up and never allowed the facts to see the light of day.”

          With the greatest respect, people keep saying or writing this over and over and over, but

          ? the Trump Department of Justice said there was no fraud
          ? the Cybersecurity Agency said there was no fraud either
          ? 49 of 50 states )plus DC) met the safe-harbor date (Dec 8)
          ? all state electoral boards certified the results
          ? almost all swing states are Republican controlled
          ? no state officials (including all Republicans) called fraud
          ? no state court found fraud
          ? no state appellate court found fraud
          ? no federal court found fraud
          ? no federal appellate court found fraud
          ? the Supreme Court (Republican super-majority) found no fraud

          How much confirmation would be required in order to convince you and many others that the evidence is not there?

          Of course, the Trump campaign had a woefully incompetent legal team, but that was Trump’s choice. It was also pretty clear that Trump did not have much support among the broader Republican Party. I expect a lot of Republicans wanted to be rid of Trump and Trumpism as well.

          Anyway, whatever one thinks about the election (I remain deeply sceptical, and think it’s just a case of extreme sore-loser on Trump’s part) – it is hyperbolic in the extreme to say the US has suffered a Marxist/Leninist takeover.

          Conservative forces still have huge amounts of power and influence right throughout the American economy, and society. And as I noted above, the current configuration could change very quickly – even sooner than 2022 if a Democrat senator from a red state died.

          The current situation (Democrats holding the White House, Reps, and Senate) is pretty rare and a fluke this year – because the Republicans had two financially compromised candidates in Georgia.

    Recall that the Corporate Press showed its monolithic hand the very day after some voters actually went to the polls, by agreeing upon a single headline: “Trump Disputes Election Result Without Cause.” One might have supposed that a question as important as this for the nation’s future would require some investigation before arriving at this definitive conclusion, but the Corporate State declared it so and it was so, at least in the minds of credulous liberals – no investigation required.

    After a few days the evolving narrative simply declared that there had, in fact, been an investigation and that it had determined the absence of chicanery. Not that American citizens are entitled to see the product of this investigation, mind you.

    By this point the events of January 6, in which not a single shot was fired by protesters and little damage was done by individuals who were permitted entrance and could easily have torched the capitol if that had been their intent, was re-branded as an “Insurrection” mounted by “White Supremacists.” (the PR team considered using “Nazi Child Molesters,” but decided that was a bit over the top)
    Since, the designed distraction of identity politics notwithstanding, what we have here is class warfare, let’s be clear about the choice of the label White Supremacists. It is code: a liberal dog whistle for Deplorables which, in turn, really means White Trash.

    But what if the election was, in fact, brazenly and obviously stolen, and these besieged working class citizens were, in fact, storming the capital in a valiant effort to defend our political process. Wouldn’t that make them Patriots?

    And what if those who accomplished this remarkable feat of judo, flipping the legitimate protest of a stolen election into a thwarted coup, in the same master stroke managed to simply cancel congressional floor debate over the alleged investigation of that election? Debate which never took place, testimony which was never made a matter of record.

    For the month after Election Day I collected a great deal of “nonexistent” evidence that showed just how egregious election theft had been, until I saw the excellent work which has been done by Dr. Peter K. Navarro, which includes scrupulous documentation of all sources.

    If you would like to see what January Sixth was really about you can simply google Navarro Report. But you had best do it fast, because it’s only a matter if time until it is suppressed and sucked down the Orwellian memory hole.

    I have saved a copy of the downloadable PDF file before the NSA sucks it out of my personal computer. If the Democrats have their way it will soon be illegal to possess or mention it, here in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

      The Dems have to have an “enemy of the people” to complete their takeover of the Federal government. This “wag the dog” BS has been going on forever. Anyone disagreeing with the Dems is the enemy and must be destroyed. The impeachment is a political statement that if you mess with us WE will crush you.

      Iran uses us as their enemy, “the Great Satan” to maintain power by the Mullahs. Heck, W used Hussein and his WMDs for the same purpose.

      The American government has used many enemies to “unite” the country every twenty years or so since its inception. Trump stopped that for four years and look what happens. England, Mexico, each other, Spain, Germany twice, Japan. Do you think Biden will find an enemy to unite us. Right now it is Whites, but that is suicidal.

      The “insurrection” is exactly what the Dems will use to complete the takeover. The must get it done before the truth of the election starts breaking through.

      What happens then?

    “Of course, behind this smokescreen of partisan bullshit is the question of election fraud, which the Democratic Party is seeking desperately to suppress. Their news media henchpersons have settled on the adjective “baseless” whenever the subject comes up in their reporting. They repeat it incessantly, Goebbels-style, to substantiate its truthiness, though it is not true. The truth is indeed the Deep State’s mortal enemy, and eventually it will make itself known.”

    Thanks for today’s blog, Jim.

    The truth may be known, but will anybody care? Other then the politically astute, most people will simply ignore it. The MSM will either attempt to ignore it, or cover it up, or suppress it– or all 3.

    The last 5 years has been a great, sad education for many liberty minded folks. We neither have a free or fair voting system, or free or fair economic system.

    The US is firmly under control of the permanent war machine/security state.

    Because millions of US citizens understand this, and are against it, is the reason the federal government is planning on waging a war against its own citizens.

    How many on this blog would be considered ‘domestic terrorists’? I’d argue almost all of the posters here.

    It is because we have our own free, independent minds. That is the problem. Many here think outside the MSM, and that is the danger for the federal government. We choose what we have come to believe, ourselves– and do not accept what the government is telling us.

    I’m not averse to the awareness concept for important issues, but can be possibly be more friggin aware than we already are? It’s the only topic allowed to be discussed. We’re aware. It’s enough already.

    Also noticed the not-so-subtle lack of diversity in the back-up performers behind the half-time “star”…far as I can tell, a 100% lack. How’s that for a mindfuck?

        Patrick Leahy is older than even Beijing Biden, and that’s saying something. Last I heard Senator Leahy was in hospital and may not be available to preside over any high profile show trial. In Stalin’s Show Trials 1936-1938 the prosecutors were young, energetic and vicious, and the verdict (and sentence, death) was a foregone conclusion. Here and now it’s not so cut and dry. Republicans have already indicated they will not vote to impeach. And speaking of Moscow, one thing that strikes me are the advanced ages of these leading Dems, and how they remind one of the Geriatric leadership in the Soviet Union in the 70s and 80s (Breshnev, Kaganovich, Andropov et al)

      I agree — just about every commercial was virtue-signaling and the one I personally found the most ridiculous was Bruce and His Reconciliation Jeep. What a maudlin sermon. It was particularly heart warming to see some of them selling junk food. Do they give this crap to their kids?

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 8, 2021 at 11:53 am #

        Yes. Pretty sure they do feed them that crap.

        I will say though, the Will Ferrell spot and the few random Beavis and Butthead cameos were nice though. (they threw a couple softballs in there to keep those of us who went to college before 2000 a reason to maybe stay in the room). Wayne’s World bit was ok, too, but they had to bring in Cardi B to tie their old asses in with the younger generations.

        I was watching with a friend, his wife and 10 yr-old, and after about an hour I looked at the kid and said “You know, you’re not necessarily too young to remember, but just so you know, it was not always like this. It used to be about the game and the commercials were about ways to enjoy the game.”

      As Theodore Bilbo said, Civil Rights was always only about putting Blacks above Whites. White Liberals may or may not have understood it this way, but this is what Blacks always thought, even if secretly in their own hearts.

      Earlier Liberals were more rational of course. But as it became a religion, Blacks could do no wrong and Whites could do no right. And the latter needed to repent – and what better way than to become the servants or slaves of their former servants and slaves?

        Theodore Bilbo (not Baggins) was a Southern Demogogue elected governor & Senator from the state of Mississippi for those not in the know. I took a whole course once on the Southern Demogogues. They ranged from the great Huey Long in the state of Louisiana to “Pitchfork Ben” Tillman in the state of South Carolina. For vile demogoguery however there was no equal to the low conniving chicanery of Leo Frank, president of B’nai Brith in Atlanta, GA & his hired legal guns of the ADL:

        Yogannon,

        During the First Reconstruction (1865-1877) the darkies called this program, “De bottom rail done gone to the top an’ de top rail done gone to de bottom!”

        The fence got rebuilt again in 1878 after the federal occupation troops were finally ejected.

        But black folk never forgot how GOOD it felt to be on top. So the agitation came for the Second Reconstruction 1948 – 1965. It was a big disappointment. Only mere “equality” was enacted. The damn fence got kicked down and nobody got to be the “top rail.”

        That would not do.

        Fast forward to 2013 – Present: The Third Reconstruction. This time all 50 states got invited to the party, not just the 11 former Confederate States. Leftist BLM picked up the leftover rails from 1965 and began shoving them up the asses of the Crackers. This program is designed to be perpetual. Whole forests will be clear-cut to provide an endless supply of split rails.

        If your ancestors came from Europe you might want to stock up on lots of lubricants to keep the pain level to a minimum.

    I have never seen a word misused as much as Democracy.

    Pure democracy exists when every franchised person votes on every issue and the majority rules. Athens actually did this at one point.

    Sounds great, doesn’t it. That is why it is used by the Left so much in propaganda.

    Republics happen when too much complexity or populations become too large for an all person vote on all issues.

    Needless to say, we are a Republic, we elect representatives to make our societal decisions for us.

    We have been betrayed by a political party that have so distorted the election process that it is a good possibility that fraud now rules the ballot box. The only good news out of the last election is the Dems , in their zeal to get Trump, forgot about the House and the power shifted significantly.

    Anyway, what the Dems have done to the US over the last forty years is about as antiDemocratic as it can be. They have just about succeeded in turning the Golden city on the hill, into a totalitarian Uniparty state. Trump got in their way, a little, and was destroyed. So when all the Dems talked about saving Democracy, we are entitled to guffaw.

    What the Dems are actually doing is growing a brown super majority in the country to perpetuate the Uniparty. Wait until the Browns start throwing out the White elite running DC. The pig squealing will start then. The browns are not “wise” enough to run the US Constitution model and will degrade the country into a dictatorship. Just like everywhere else in the world.

    As the White culture dies, the remaining Whites will have to make some big decisions or just die out. Long term, civil war, secession, or expatriation. Expats are starting to increase already, but an area will need to be found that supports the White culture.

    The US is about go through some severe changes. Spiritual change will have the biggest impact, followed by political change, followed by economic change including all the climate change junk. Each will feed the others.

    A big question is who wins through all this. The PTB of the future will have to destroy all vestiges of the republic which includes the Democrat Party. Who will those folks be that will run this country for my grandson?

    • Wizard of the Saddle February 8, 2021 at 4:22 pm #

      JohnAZ:

      The answer: There won’t be a country, per se, to run anymore. The former USA will have fractured into many pieces. This is the logical outcome of identity politics where race racketeering trumps everything.

      Like Yugoslavia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Soviet Union, the centrifugal forces of ethnic hate will cause the polity to split into separate homelands for each competing group that is able to muster enough military prowess to secure some portion of the former national territory for itself. Some groups, however, may perish in a genocidal slaughter.

      At present, whites are the disfavored race. At present, still the majority in the USA, but not for much longer. Internationally, less than 8% of the world’s population, so whites actually are a small minority of the human race and an increasingly oppressed minority.

      Libtard whites believe that being an “ally” to the black/brown/red/yellow/tan coalition will yield a “Get Out of Jail Free” card for them when the White Genocide moment arrives. They will be in a state of stunned disbelief when ordered by their new masters to kneel for the gunshot to the base of the back of their skulls.

      They should not be so shocked. All cultures detest traitors – even those who commit treason against their own kind for the benefit of the conquerors. The conquerors have nothing but disdain for them. If you don’t believe it, go read about how British society treated Benedict Arnold after the close of the American Revolution.

          Yessir. I remember reading 1984 in, well, about 1987, as a boy. I enjoyed it, but saw it as a rather silly sci-fi concept that would make a good movie.

          Thirty-four years later, I now actually seeing the ridiculous concepts espoused in that book coming into place in our real lives. And it was written in 1949.

          Those behind the curtain are playing a very long game, and to my mind their only chance for failure is if they get cocky and start to play their cards too fast now. Seems like they might be doing just that, but most don’t seem to care. So that ain’t good.

      Not to mention Gorgeous Goering, who never got over his first wife’s death (though narcotics helped ease the anguish). He named his lust castle after her.

    Did you know that the phrase “baseless claims of election fraud” made it across the globe to the scripts of the talking heads for Radio/Television New Zealand? That is a fact. When I heard it, I remember thinking how 99% (if not more) of the people hearing it would just absorb it as “the news,” i.e., the facts. I work with young people between the ages of 10 and 18, and during the last 5 years or so, I have observed unanimous hatred of Trump. When asked why, their replies always included thoughtful words such as “bleach,” “racist” and “misogynist.” Young people sponge up propaganda so enthusiastically it makes my eyes water, and most of the adults are not much better.

  34. Soul Forensics February 8, 2021 at 2:43 pm #

    Did everyone do their consumerist duty and watch the corporate Overlords tell us what to buy, what to believe, and which firms to cheer for yesterday?

    What a fortuitous dovetailing of circumstances to present the Super Bowl to a captive, Covid-locked-in audience, where in-home parties are forbidden, and where any fun in the game itself is neutered by a series of unending corporate “buy this”, “swallow this”, “look like this”, and, most importantly, “revere this.”

    The new regime just up-and-sprinting, Black History Month, and lockdowns galore, although it must have been a treat (I didn’t watch any of it) to see all those people not freaked out about Covid (Christ, if I had a choice of where to live in the States, it would be Tampa Bay), having a good time, including an apparently smiling, maskless Tom Brady, who, as a winning MVP, White male super-success story, must have rained on a lot of the Woke narrative.

    But I wanted to talk, again, of Amanda Gorman, the 2034 Dem (let’s be honest, appointed — not running) fake President (she says she wants the job, and who would dare deny it to her?)

    The 22 year-old “poet” tacked on to her fame (an interview with Michelle O!; illustrated book of poems shooting up the best-sellers lists! unheard of!, signing with a supermodel agency) by crafting a heartfelt, profound poem about … well, my words are superfluous, let’s give the lady the main stage. Those knuckleheads in helmets (except for the Black ones!) can just wait on the sidelines:

    “Let us walk with these warriors,
    Charge on with these champions,
    And carry forth the call of our captains.
    We celebrate them by acting,
    With courage and compassion,
    By doing what is right and just.
    For while we honour them today,
    It is they who every day honour us.”

    — Amanda Gorman

    Who are “these warriors” that Gorman references? The three honorary captains of the Super Bowl, Suzie Dorner, James Martin, and Trimaine Davis.

    The first is a shocker: a White! But it’s a White woman, and she was picked because she’s a Tampa Bay nurse. Get the message? Florida is not only incorrect, it’s evil. Poor Dorner, a nurse grappling with misery and death every shift because DeSantis actually wants people to live normal lives, without fear. The cad! The bounder!

    The carefully calibrated decision of Martin is interesting. A veteran, not part of the Woke saintly line-up, but they had to throw a sop to the audience who actually pays for this Woke opportunity, so, hey, at least they get to choose a Black rep.

    And Davis is the perfect Woke narrative story during BHM, with a script an impeccable cross between made-for-TV tearjerker and educational can-do. Did he get to where he is on merit? And does it matter to those who picked him out of all the other the Woke candidates?

    Roll over, Walt Whitman. Go back to school, Wallace Stevens. Try harder, Robert Lowell.

    Really, could the game actually compete with that poem? How anti-climactic.

    • SW February 8, 2021 at 4:42 pm #

      The first time I ever heard of Amanda Gorman was when she read her poem at the inauguration. I must say, it was nice to see a bright, beautiful, enthusiastic young face on stage with all the cadavers. Her poem wasn’t great (not that I’m a qualified critic) but I wish her well. I hope for her sake she’s allowed to grow up in some sort of peace and not contaminated by all the media attention.

      The Super Bowl ads were a “teachable moment” for all us dullards who have STILL not gotten the message it’s time to stop pouting, wait patiently for our government checks and admit we can’t think for ourselves.

      • Soul Forensics February 8, 2021 at 4:53 pm #

        SW,

        She’s not the ingenue you’re making her out to be. She’s a power-mad Woke opportunist who wants to be the President in 2032. That’s not a teen-grrrl fantasy, it’s cold-blooded ambition, with all the cynical power-positioning that that entails.

        The point of her “poem” isn’t that it “wasn’t great” — most poems are shit, it’s a very demanding Art — it’s that it was a predictable set of cliches that hit all the lazy Woke rhetorical talking points.

        And I’m surprised (if you’re not a troll) that you don’t get the connection — regarding her beauty — as to why she was selected (it certainly wasn’t on artistic merit) to ‘grace’ us with her talents at the inauguration and Super Bowl.

        • SW February 8, 2021 at 6:40 pm #

          She was probably chosen b/c she’s telegenic and poised and wrote something that passes for poetry today. TS Eliot has nothing to fear (from the grave) that his genius will be supplanted. From what I’ve seen & heard, most interaction in that age group is woke-inspired cliches so it strikes a responsive note. To me, she’s still just a kid and I would occasionally like to believe the best of someone that young.

          No, I am not a troll.

          • Soul Forensics February 8, 2021 at 7:58 pm #

            “most interaction in that age group is woke-inspired cliches so it strikes a responsive note.” SW

            You still don’t get it. She wasn’t talking on a Zoom call with three of her friends in her age group, she had an audience of about 100 million, of all age groups and ethnicities and political persuasions, for her State-approved bilge.

            This goes far beyond her, obviously. Yeah, she’s telegenic, and she has the “message” (along with the single-focused ambition, which, BTW, has nothing to do with poetic ambition). Pleasant face. Black Power. And darker skin, which puts her one-up on AOC.

          • SW February 8, 2021 at 10:56 pm #

            SW: Even if she judges you harshly? As in seeing you and yours as an obstacle to be removed by any means necessary? Because I bet that’s exactly how she sees you, based on my hearing of the “poem”

            This kind of thing doesn’t stand up well on the page. It’s really its own art form called “spoken word”. There’s competitions called “slams” – sometimes pretty entertaining though too many of them have the same cadence, as they influence each other. Poetry began as an oral tradition, so one can’t distance the two completely of course. Blacks are good at performance and like this form. A more genteel rap, perhaps.

    “The truth is indeed the Deep State’s mortal enemy, and eventually it will make itself known.”

    The truth is well known among even the most casual observers of this nonsense. The absurdity of the Deep State’s performance is more an expression of desperation than calculated application of hoary propaganda technique.

    I told a Dem friend last July that his party would impeach the president twice – they wouldn’t be able to control themselves in their rage. I just didn’t believe they would wait until he was supposedly out of office to make their second attempt!

    Anyway, Mr. Trump is apparently the duly elected president, as only a sitting president is eligible to be impeached. The House Democrat/Rino impeachment vote declared it so.

            “Raising the “prices” conspiracy theorists pay for their fantasies, within the bounds of First Amendment protections and consistent with common decency, will help rein in the costs they impose on others. That can improve the national political conversation and help prevent more violence.”

            Um. The first sentence is unconstitutional if nothing else, as it suggests thinking or talking about things how you want to think and takl about them needs a penalty system built in…how that applies to being “within the bounds of the First Amendment” requires mental acrobatics.

            The last sentence is absolute backwardspeak, considering the level of real violence over the last 9 months that has been tolerated, and indeed publicly encouraged, by the very “side of the political spectrum” writing this article.

            Tunnel vision, bruh.

    Thank you Mr Kunstler for stubbornly going against the grain & refusing to kowtow to the powers that be, as most writers and publishers have.

    That said, I cannot comment on the post itself, because I don’t know what’s going on, what the agenda is, the timeline, the actors. As 100th Avatar memorably said here, I can’t present the knowledge of others as my own.

    What I can do is think for myself, and many others here do as well. So I just picked the bits from the commentariat that made sense to me so far, and copied them here. They deserve to be read again. This is my hour of screen time, and I’m using it to highlight a seldom mentioned motive to be grateful to JHK, besides his posts themselves: providing an open forum for very interesting and intelligent comments. This may be gone soon. Take advantage of it while you can.

    Learned helplessness is not stupidity. They’re serious about cramming lies down our throats, and they’ve made it obvious that there is nothing we can do about it. Learned helplessness is a rational, intelligent response for an individual in that state. For a society it means death. If the individually crippled people could communicate with each other and learn that the individual struggling will suffer while the collective exhausts the captors, it might change things. What are you doing to build community and connection? Calling people “stoopid” does not seem to be a high-probability-of-success approach. //

    What about the Trump impeachment, leaving aside the COVID terror campaign (where a real disease with real effects has been blown so completely out of proportion due to its benefits for the political class.), as our original poster mentioned? How many people who voted for Biden wanted this as the first priority, rather than a fix to, say, the healthcare racket (Pelosi as Speaker means no chance for Medicare for all, which seems to be pretty popular in the D party.)?
    No matter who gets elected, the priorities of the grifter class predominate. Climate change as a means to shut down fossil fuel production so as to keep it too expensive for the poor, and maybe a nice carbon tax to skim more from the rubes. Transgender athletes: if more than 10% of Democrats had that as highest priority (day 1!) I’d be absolutely stunned.
    That people are inert in the face of this is not stupidity, individually. If they had a leader who might show them how to overturn it, they might be willing to sacrifice for the cause. For now, they can see what happens to the “insurrectionists” at the Capitol: those people are going to be crucified. Better to not fight it than go down in a fight where your leaders will undercut you. // (DrTomSchmidt, both quotes) // Excellent observations. I share this poster’s sense of being just a mouse. Who can make a grand stand when there’s children to feed, especially knowing we’ll be thrown under the bus if we do? All we can do is throw a wrench in the gears when we can. DJT was not a worthy leader. The whole concept of “leader” is suspicious. But humble mice will in time meet and get to trust other mice, and millions of us, the insignificant, acting together, may become a lion.

    What it is is brainwashing and conflating no mask = you spread the disease = my relative died = you’re responsible for killing this person = you’re obviously one of those damned deplorables who shouldn’t be allowed to vote and deserve whatever happens to you. (SW) // There’s a mad rush to create a class of untermenschen: us. They are throwing everything they got at us right now.

    For those of us who are well over 40 years of age who actually received something worthy of being called an “education” back in the bad old days of America the Beautiful, the Goebbels quote about “The Big Lie,” is practically as well-known to us as the opening words of the Declaration of Independence. Sadly, for the young skulls full of mush under 40 who have “graduated” (ha ha) from the public schools and the universities over the past 20 years, most have never read nor heard either, so such references fall flat with them. Hell, they don’t even know who fucking Goebbels was, though they are quite SURE that they know that TRUMP is a NAZI, and so are all of his supporters. (Wizard of the Saddle) // I couldn’t have said it better. Bravo. Nazis on this forum, take note: this sinister cripple is your hero, along with the funny-mustached monster and the rest of the gang. Damned creeps and monsters.

    Maybe it’s our fault for choosing to be born into a universe slapped together by a dilettante demiurge during finals week after a semester spent doing keg stands and chasing Andromeda. (Blackbird) // Brilliant, and the kind of thing that Mr Fox, the main character in Theroux’s “the mosquito coast”, would say. Good book, a bit painful to read.

    The halftime show was an obvious occult ritual. I would be very interested in John Michael Greer’s take on it (thirdcoastlegend) // I would, too. Greer’s series of posts, “the Kek wars”, are, for me, a masterpiece. I mentioned before that I don’t have a TV, but I’m aware of a massive increase in occult references in pop culture and the media. The Biden inauguration comes to mind, but really, hardly a month goes by without some in-your-face occult ritual, full of symbolism and menace.

    Is it Germany, 1933, where you had a chance to escape with your wealth up to about 1935, and with your life but stripped of your wealth up to 1938? Or is it Kerensky’s Russia, where a moderate social democrat has taken over, due to be replaced in 7 months by Lenin? (DrTomSchmidt) // I often think along similar lines, albeit with a timeline not measured in years but in centuries: is this the age of Caligula, or of Romulus Augustulus? I don’t know. Could be either one. It’s not the Republic anymore, that’s for sure.

    By this point the events of January 6, in which not a single shot was fired by protesters and little damage was done by individuals who were permitted entrance and could easily have torched the capitol if that had been their intent, was re-branded as an “Insurrection” mounted by “White Supremacists.” (the PR team considered using “Nazi Child Molesters,” but decided that was a bit over the top) Since, the designed distraction of identity politics notwithstanding, what we have here is class warfare, let’s be clear about the choice of the label White Supremacists. It is code: a liberal dog whistle for Deplorables which, in turn, really means White Trash. (Zoltar) // Yes! Class warfare with racial overtones. White trash, the last American group that it’s OK to abuse, mock, diminish and be openly hateful against.

    The truth may be known, but will anybody care? Other then the politically astute, most people will simply ignore it. The MSM will either attempt to ignore it, or cover it up, or suppress it– or all 3. The last 5 years has been a great, sad education for many liberty minded folks. We neither have a free or fair voting system, or free or fair economic system. The US is firmly under control of the permanent war machine/security state. Because millions of US citizens understand this, and are against it, is the reason the federal government is planning on waging a war against its own citizens. How many on this blog would be considered ‘domestic terrorists’? I’d argue almost all of the posters here. It is because we have our own free, independent minds. That is the problem. Many here think outside the MSM, and that is the danger for the federal government. We choose what we have come to believe, ourselves– and do not accept what the government is telling us. (PeteAtomic) // Very little to add to this. Spot on. The shape of things materializing: dissent = domestic terrorism.

    Received this message from Facebook after posting the quote from Joseph Goebbels you began your article with. “Your post goes against our Community Standards on dangerous individuals and organizations. No one else can see your post. We have these standards to prevent and disrupt offline harm.” (houserock) // I had the same experience starting about a year ago anytime I tried to share a snippet of JHK or an original thought that went against the accepted version of reality. I finally abandoned the thing, and didn’t replace it with any other social media (except this one, but I don’t know any of you, you’re just pure thought). A local newspaper editor that has in the past published a few pieces of mine sent me a message right after the election, along the lines of ‘what would be something we could do a story on right now?’ I answered “the end of free speech. I can write it if you want”. He never answered, and I suspect I am now a nonperson and he won’t contact me again.

    Apologies for the long post. I have prepared a complete guide to scrapping in one page, as well as different farming and self-sustainability aspects that readers may be interested in, but I won’t clog the airwaves until our host decides to turn his gaze again into those topics. This thing may not be around forever, so it’s important to inform yourself and prepare for what could be rough times ahead.

    The murder of that Yale grad student is causing some big waves. The Governor of Ct, Mayor of New Haven, President of Yale, they’ve all commented on it, “Deeply saddened”, “My thoughts and prayers go out to the family”, “Epidemic of gun violence”, blah, blah, blah. Actually that last statement is pretty accurate; gunfire all week in New Haven, including the house of a member of the Board of Ed shot up — with his family inside. 7 or so other people have been shot as a matter of course around Yale over the week but it’s this Yale student’s taking a bullet in the back of the head that TBTB are paying attention too. This might be why:

    Victim is Chinese

    He was driving a Prius

    He was an Environmental Science major

    The ‘Community’ in New Haven is definitely stirred up and appears to be in a state of moral collapse, with not only the violence and murder, but with street racing and unregistered ATVs running up and down city thoroughfares, terrorizing citizens. One of America’s oldest cities, home of Yale University, is taking on an apocalyptic hue.

    Last summer Yale seemed supportive when Comnunity Members strode out onto I-95, stopping traffic on the busiest road in the US. Well, the genie is out of the bottle, and it ain’t going back in.

    How do you like it now, Gentlemen?

      What to do when crime becomes endemic and the local authority will not do it’s job?

      Well, some might suggest four or five healthy individuals in a vehicle slowly cruising the affected area. If mistreated, they can all exit the vehicle and…correct the miscreant.

      No one in law enforcement will advise this to occur…in public. In private, who knows what would be said”

      They would need to form a formal car club, you know with secret handshakes, uniforms, etc. Could call themselves something racy…manly…you know, like the “Nighthawks”…yeah.

      Make no mistake…if law enforcement does not do it’s job, others will.
      Extra-legal proceedings will become commonplace.

    This preamble is in the sights of the Leftists in this country. They do not what We the people to have any power, just the government. They do not want a perfect Union, because their divide and conquer techniques to maintain power will not work.

        Same here. Sadly I think a lot of damage was done during the late Bush years and the Obama years, when the prog (in name only) cultists made some real headway into mainstream media.

        There was a time when I somewhat respected people like Stephen Colbert for having the guts to speak truth (Bush-era WH correspondents dinner), but with time comes wisdom and I realized most of the talking heads and those who talk like them don’t have a fucking clue about how the world works and have no moral compass to boot. It’s just snark, or rather my favorite term, “virtue signaling.”

        The error I made was taking them at their word. Sincere people tend to get caught in this type of stuff. These days the ghouls are ghouling it up in all of their glory and it truly is a vulgar spectacle.

        I just heard that Trump borrowed money from Soros and used to defend him against detractors. If so, he was on the same teat as Antifa. That’s called being compromised. If he had moved against the Deep State, they would have taken that “personally” since they had opened many doors for him, an outsider. They probably consider that quite a privilege.

      What plan? The Dems do not have a plan. A plan does not cut out 11000 jobs the first day with no plan on what those folks can do.

      A plan does not try to stop fracking with absolutely no plan on what is going to take its place.

      What Plan? What plan exists to help pipe fitters etc. to install solar panels? The real problem here is that these skilled workers will never get jobs with solar panels, it will be the new illegals, now legal that will take those jobs. The guys up north know that, it is not over yet. North Dakota will be a welfare state, just what the Dems want.

      There is not one plan promoting solar or wind. The only real entity making solar lives in China, what a surprise.

      What plan? We don’t need no stinking plans. The more people we put on welfare the better for the Deep State.

      There is one plan coming. Texas!

      Open that Juarez corridor and hustle those folks in here. Get them illicit or even legal citizenship. Then get them voting Democrat. If Texas goes Blue, forget Conservatives ever having any power in DC. Can you imagine the electoral college. I saw a you tube on this, if Texas goes blue, the Dems start with 257 electoral college votes. There will never be another conservative president, House or Senate.

          “the Peace Movement doesn’t exist any more … We’re they ever really serious?” — Yohannon

          They never were. The Vietnam Stop the War protests by students and hippies existed for one reason: they were scared shitless about being drafted into it. It had nothing (or very little) to do with youthful idealism and kumbaya.

          Interesting, too, that the protests didn’t really get serious until the young (hippies included) realized that their moneyed parents couldn’t protect them any longer during the increasing expansion of call-ups from their own demographic.

          This explains what some people could never (and still can’t) understand: how could the hippies and student artists sell out, after the War, so quickly to become ad execs and lawyers? Answer: that’s who they always were. The summers of love were just lucky hedonistic sprees on pop’s dime for sex, drugs ‘n’ rock and roll.

    The Blacks and Reds, Zman

    The “Black and Tans” were a police force recruited by the British into the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) as something like a paramilitary force or a militia during the Irish War of Independence. The majority were unemployed former soldiers who fought in the Great War, but many were criminals and even prisoners. They got their nickname from the uniforms they wore. They were supposed to help the overstretched RIC maintain order and deal with the Irish Republican Army.

    In reality, they were something like a mob of thugs unleashed on the Irish population as a form of state sponsored terrorism. While most had military training, there was no code of conduct to control their actions. They were known for their brutal tactics and their indiscriminate attacks on civilians in retaliation for IRA attacks on them. Because the men recruited into the ranks were young and had few prospects at home, they were happy to do whatever was asked to the Irish population.

    This is a useful historical example to keep in mind when reading this Time article on how the oligarchs rigged the 2020 election. Most people have fixated on the audacity of posting such a piece. Usually, people who commit crimes try to conceal their actions, but in this case, the principles are willing to boast about it. We are in the midst of a great purge of our institutions of anyone who questions the legitimacy of the election and here we have these people confirming many of the claims.

    The motivation behind writing that piece is spite, of course. The half-hearted talk of bringing unity after the election has not fooled many people. That Time piece makes clear that there can be no unity, because there will be no peace. As the article says, the point of rigging the election was to “fortify” what they call democracy, but which the rest of us call their permanent rule. They were prepared to use any means necessary to defend their rights and privileges from the people.

    One of those tactics, of course, was the unleashing of mobs onto the public starting with the highly orchestrated George Floyd incident. This was a combination of Black Lives Matter, created by the Obama administration during his second term, and ANTIFA, created and funded by the Soros organization. One group allegedly represents the interest of blacks, while the other group claims to be the inheritors of the communist revolutionary spirit. It was blacks and reds.

    This is the truly remarkable aspect of that post. For months, the evidence piled up suggesting the mobs were manufactured. There seemed to be someone or a group of people funding and directing them. Early in the Time story, it boasts “In a way, Trump was right. There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans.”

    In other words, the suspicions were correct. The left-wing terror networks that operate out of not-for-profits like Pro Publica and The Bail Project, funneled cash, supplies and instructions to the mobs on the streets. That cash came from the CEO’s and their money changers in Washington, Silicon Valley and New York. This money was offered in exchange for violent street actions intended to either provoke a right-wing reaction or embarrass the Trump administration.

    This sounds a lot like what the British did in Ireland. Unable to win popular support in their crusade against Trump, they unleashed thugs with official protection to terrorize the population. State sponsored terror is a well-known tactic to control a population, but it is generally considered the bane of civilized government. This is the sort of thing you expect from authoritarian societies or occupied ones. It was something the Bolsheviks did after the revolution, which is ironic given the people involved.

    A century ago, the Irish Republican Army figured out that winning the hearts and minds of the people made British occupation expensive. When the British could not recruit Irish into the police force, they brought in the thugs that became known as the Black and Tans. These thugs only made it easier for the IRA to win the public over to the cause and the IRA was quick to take advantage of it. Eventually, the British had no choice but to abandon the tactic and disband the unit.

    Here in modern America, the situation is different, at least for now, so the Black and Reds are seen as effective. They have not been officially disbanded by the ruling regime, even if they have been sidelined. Recently, Antifa turned up in Washington, harassing diners and fighting with the police. They will no doubt be out this summer causing trouble along with Black Lives Matter. Unlike the Black and Tans, they have not been promised pensions or positions in the government.

    Even so, it is a useful comparison. The British unleashed the Black and Tans because they did not see the Irish as humans. They were a population that had to be controlled, like wild animals or maybe prisoners. The people on the other side of the razor wire and in the bunkered communities of Silicon Valley and Wall Street look at the rest of us, especially the white population, the same way. We are no longer humans, so they are free to do as they like in order to control us.

    The lesson is that in a social war, every event must be used to rally support for your side and put the other side in a bad light. The Black and Tans undermined the British position with both the Irish and British public, because the IRA made them the face of the British occupation. That is what must happen here. These mobs must be closely tied to the CEO’s and politicians directing them. The Biden presidency must be known as the Antifa presidency. Make them own their golem.

    Yoho: BLM is getting perks, apparently. So Z may be wrong about that. Antifa is more complicated, comprised of many groups and different kinds of people. Some of them are young members of the Elite who don’t have to worry about making a living. Others are complete losers who want to tear everything down for reasons they can’t explain. Others are crazed yet articulate idealists. They all come together under the shroud of the Black Bloc. All are equal then. No discussions needed. The Enemy is clear. And the ecstasy of the Action awaits.

    Will they continue to bow down to BLM – even as it joins or becomes the System and they remain outside. A complete conflict of interest needless to say.

    • SoftStarLight February 9, 2021 at 2:37 am #

      Kinda a fun thought experiment. If the subject matter wasn’t so grave. I propose a potential strange scenario. BLM becomes a formal, corporate activity as seems to be happening now. It’s main footsoldiers disappear into the federal and state bureaucracies while wider support is maintained by state media and state sponsored pop culture for all the supporters who never get an actual payout. Antifa on the other hand is kept at the periphery, because while helpful to the cause, they mostly are not the cause. After a period of great frustration, disappointments, and trouble many cross over to the camp of the Deplorables since ultimately that is what the regime will classify them as.

      • Yohannon February 9, 2021 at 12:58 pm #

        With just such strange transformations of meanings and alliances, (“politics makes strange bedfellows”), the world is made. I think it was the scientist/philosopher J.B Haldane who said, “The world is not stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine”.

        So from that pov, the Antis switching sides wouldn’t be strange at all. Certainly as individuals at least. That can be expected. Many of them grow out of it. And when the start getting treated as white trash by the new Black Elite, the whole thing will get very old very fast.

        And if they keep some of their socialism, they could actually make a contribution. As it is, the worship of Capitalism dooms the Right to endless failure.

        • sevensec February 10, 2021 at 1:57 am #

          At least part of this worship of Capitalism, I think, came from a genuine terror of mid-20th century totalitarianism and a sincere belief that “free enterprise” was the closest thing to *actual* freedom that could still serve as a bulwark against the new statist monstrosities. (Mises certainly thought this.)

          But even at the time it always had–well, here we go again–a feeling of *false dichotomy*. Give every aspect of civilization over to short-sighted greed and rapacity OR submit to the Commie-Nazi boot on your face. Now really, couldn’t there be some *other* choice(s)?

        So now I know that I could buy a website domain called whitesarestupid.com and have it forward to the White House, just for shits and giggles, and there’s absolutely nothing the White House could do about it.

    Baseless.

    According to dictionary.com..

    (adjective) having no base, without foundation, groundless….

    Is this the greatest challenge of our time or what? What really is the foundation of our society? Is this the true nature of the conflict we see before us presenting itself as an “impeachment” trial all the while standing in for something way bigger and of far greater conseqence? Can we all at this point agree that these “impeachment” theatrics and optics at least finally put to rest any pretenses that our social contract is founded upon the Constitution and Bill of Rights? If a country has no defined boundaries or borders in practice, than what does those noted on paper mean? Same with the law and the alleged equal application of said law. Which again, sounds great on paper. But verifiably does not exist within the territory of land noted on maps as the USA. The same accusation could be made against many countries. But do those countries claim to treat each of their citizens as equals under the law? Can we finally admit we do not share a foundation? That we are not grounded together. To me that is what seems to really be at the root of it.

    • Yohannon February 9, 2021 at 1:02 pm #

      Since the basis of America is now immigration and struggle against oppression, any non-White in any part of the world is considered more American than White citizens who live here – even if, no especially if their ancestry goes back to the Revolution or the Mayflower. Thus the absurd “reality”: The more American, the less American. And the less American, the more American.

Occassionally the Climate Czar himself will drop in, wearing a Captain’s uniform, like Jeffrey Epstein used to do.

      • BackRowHeckler February 9, 2021 at 8:58 am #

        I did see Planet of the Humans Pete before YouTube took it down.

        Trouble is, Beijing Biden didn’t see it, nor did the Climate Czar. Now that he has ended Keystone there is pressure on Beijing Biden to shut down every oil and natgas pipeline in the United States, which would be necessary in order to reach ‘Net 0’ carbon emissions by 2050. In the short term Russian state owned oil giants Rosneft, Luke oil, and Gasprom will step up to fill any gaps in supply, as will Aramco in SArabia. Actually Russia and SArabia are pretty happy about events in the US on the energy front. Crude is already up to $60 per barrel and Beijing Biden has been in office only 3 weeks. And with increased imports there will be plenty of fuel to power up the Climate Czar’s motoryacht next summer. Sure it will be more expensive, but for the Climate Czar, and Biden’s relatives on their private enclave in the Virgin Islands, expense is not an issue.

          “There are also some genuine and difficult problems with renewable energy, particularly the mining of the necessary materials. But the film’s attacks on solar and wind power rely on a series of blatant falsehoods. It claims that, in producing electricity from renewables, “You use more fossil fuels to do this than you’re getting benefit from it. You would have been better off just burning fossil fuels in the first place”. This is flat wrong. On average, a solar panel generates 26 units of solar energy for every unit of fossil energy required to build and install it. For wind turbines the ratio is 44 to 1. ”

          ***********

          “To hammer home its point, the film shows footage of a “large terminal to import natural gas from the United States” that “Germany just built”. Germany has no such terminal. The footage was shot in Turkey.”

          I still don’t believe the renewable revolution is going to save us but you have to ask why the guy needs to lie if his case is sound. Any other topic by him and you’d have asked yourself.

            Years ago I read a book on negotiation. The author said that most people don’t negotiate effectively. He used as an example the power of the written word. It seems that people are hard-wired to accept the validity of whatever is written. For instance, parking garage signs state that they aren’t responsible for loss from your car being stolen while in the garage. This is not true, the author gives other examples.

            The point is that the written word has some strange power over us. We often just accept its authority.

            Except I do realize this, having read the book and agreeing with its accuracy. Therefore, I have a horrible time believing anything someone writes about. I was very surprised when I read your post about Monbiot’s claim that renewables use less energy than fossil fuels, including through manufacture. This is opposite to what I’ve read in the past.

            So my problem is that I don’t know what to believe about renewables. I guess I’ll have to do more research.

          They are doing the same thing as Obama did with coal. They will starve it into obsolescence. JHK talks about how the financing of fracking is tenuous at best. Cutting off their access to new lands may do them in. Watch DC,I expect them to try to decrease credit access to Big Oil. Then I expect them to really do a number on Saudi Arabia, which has started already. Supply and demand will do the rest.

          All this and they have no plan on what will replace FF. Any one who has read The Long Emergency knows what is coming. Cars need to be lighter, duh, plastics. Agriculture that is starting to have problems feeding the world will be impacted severely. Food inflation is going to skyrocket. I want to see farmers grow their crops with solar panels and windmills.

          Everything is oil. Everything. It scares me to death to realize how stupid the PTB in DC really are.

          Remember, ignorance is when you err when you do not know any better. Stupid is when you err when you know you are erring and do not care.

          Understand, these power boys and girls in DC are having the times of their lives. Having power means you can take away stuff and give stuff. It means you can kill people without threat to themselves, through war or directly. It means you can hurt people badly and sit around laughing about the results. This just about describes the Derp State.

    I think its much more sinister than a joke. For instance, other than hatred, malice, and wishing to inflict mortal harm, why do you imagine any government official would force businesses, schools, etc., to shut down for months and months because of a pandemic, force citizens to get a vaccine just to travel, all the while throwing open the border and signaling to millions of foreign nationals to come in without any testing or screenings of any kind? And if that isn’t enough to convince. The Biden administration made it clear yesterday no illegal alien will be deported after committing assaults, robberies, rape, and various other things like money laundering, tax evasion (lol), fraud, etc. These types of decisions, like making sure the power grid is vulnerable, preventing energy production, and ending thousands upon thousands of higher paying energy sector jobs, among many other things. Well. Honestly it truly does appear that the administration is seeking to hurt and destroy the people without any concern or remorse.

    Just watched a report on Fox about the crud.

    New cases are down 57% in the last month. Why?

    Ha! Asymptomatic and undiagnosed cases.

    The reporting MD said that MDs may have to acknowledge that while the number of new cases per John’s Hopkins is 27+ million, the actual number is probably over 100 million. Hospitalizations and deaths are way down too.

    We are nearing the first vestiges of herd immunity, according to the report. The down slope will be increasing in rate as vaccines continue upping the herd immunity.

    It is about over on the original crud. Y et al were right. In spite of all the politics and BS from the “scientists”, the virus has run its course.

    If someone just learns how to kill the little suckers in vitro, so we can treat the susceptible folks, the fear this crud inspired may never happen again.

    Just so you can say you heard it here first, I predict that within a year being a member of organizations like the D.A.R., Mayflower Society, and the like will be deemed irrefutable proof of being a white supremacist. Many “old” families with colonial roots have their own genealogical & historical societies, some such societies dating from the 1800’s. There are as well ethnic genealogical & historical societies documenting and honoring their collective ancestors. All of it will be declared evidence of white supremacy and their members racists. Who else would honor those nasty European ancestors they’ll say. Pride in family and ethnic history must be erased if one is to be woke. One cannot honor the people who cleared the forests for farms, toiled in the factories, and fought the wars with their euro-centric mindsets.

    Wait for it. It’s coming.

      Most of these groups are extremely liberal now, guilty about much of their heritage. The Heritage Foundation is now headed by a Black woman who support BLM. So they’ll just turn it over to them to mangle or destroy. Ditto classical studies.

        The Heritage Foundation is a political advocacy organization, not a genealogical & historical society.

        I belong to an early New England family association and also an ethnic genealogical & historical society. It is hard to imagine anyone who is not descended of a certain 1600’s immigrant wanting to join the family association nor anyone not of the very specific ethnic heritage wanting to join that association. Anyone is welcome to join however.

        Anyone might choose to join a couple other historical societies that I belong to, one being specific to a very small town that only has a couple hundred more people now than it did at the time of the 1st census in 1790 (and has never been less that about 99% white) and the other a topic-specific historical society that preserves a specific slice of history from the 1750’s that few people even in my State have ever heard of.

        People of color would be welcome in any of these organizations but thus far that hasn’t been the case. The people of 1600’s & 1700’s New England would never pass muster by today’s woke standards, thus the Democrat arbiters of wokesterism will eventually get around to declaring such organizations white supremacist in nature and their members racist by association.

        As I said, wait for it. The woke frenzy continues to build rather than abate. The erasure of Paul Revere has even begun in San Francisco. Can’t have un-woke people like him being honored.

            That refrain is a constant drum beat these days on just about everything where I live. That we didn’t have slavery, that our farms were all small family operations, that we didn’t have any large cities or big manufacturing centers that might have attracted black people up here means nothing to the SJW’s. It is our racist white supremacist past that is the reason we never had more than a few blacks here, yet they never offer up any concrete examples of what was racist about that past.

            And as I started this thread with, they will soon enough start pointing out our genealogical and historical societies as proof of their assertions.

      Well, the Orange President did use the term “China/Chinese Virus”. And his followers have used the term “WuFlu”. Were it not for such vicious and racist terms, Chinese people in Oakland and elsewhere would not have been attacked. Trump made them targets. Trump made them unsafe. Trump might as well have attacked them himself. In fact, he did, with his words. Trump attacked them! He’s a racist!

      What I don’t understand is why the attackers (at least from the limited video I’ve seen) were all young black men. I didn’t think the Orange President had much influence on young black men. Perhaps I’m wrong about that.

        Do you believe everyone who uses the term “Spanish flu” is a vicious racist? How about those who refer to the “Hong Kong flu”?

        And why stop there? By your trollish logic, isn’t calling it the “Thirty Years War” bigoted against fractional numbers? (After all, the Thirty Years War wasn’t exactly thirty years.)

        Also, why does China get first mention in the two Sino-Japanese Wars? They lost. Does that mean that the lexical framers are poor sports, prejudiced and pouting against the winners?

        And the War of 1812 lasted till 1815. What do historians have against the years 1813, 1814, and 1815? Were they bad periods in their collective lives, therefore they wanted to erase all memory of them?

        Have you, or have you not, ever used the term “Chinese food”? Don’t you know that that insults Chinese people who proudly prefer to be differentiated by the specific terms of “Mandarin food”, “Szechuan food”, or “Cantonese food”?

        Hypocrite!

          I have never really understood or agreed with the terms “Chinese food” or “Mexican food” or “Italian food.” After all, Mexicans don’t have a patent on the bean. Italians eat beans. Japanese eat beans. I don’t know any Eskimos, but I imagine they eat beans too. How did beans become a “Mexican” food? And what about pasta? Did the Italians invent pasta? And even if they did, so what? I eat pasta, but I’m not Italian. All sorts of people eat pasta without being Italian. So then pasta isn’t an “Italian” food. It’s just food.

    “Babbitt (1922), by Sinclair Lewis, is a satirical novel about American culture and society that critiques the vacuity of middle class life and the social pressure toward conformity. The controversy provoked by Babbitt was influential in the decision to award the Nobel Prize in Literature to Lewis in 1930.[1]

    The word “Babbitt” entered the English language as a “person and especially a business or professional man who conforms unthinkingly to prevailing middle-class standards”.[2]

    A general question to the whole community:

    Do you think Trump will split the GOP and create a new party (with the 72 million-odd voters from November 2020) and take a new name e.g. The Patriot Party,

    or

    will the RINOs head off on their own and leave the “Republican” label with those who follow Trump?

    Which do you think is the smarter road to take for us ‘Deplorables’?

    ” “a Policeman can’t be trusted with an MG – 34.”

    Kesa,
    Well, funny story. I owned a fully operational MG-34, belt fed, air cooled 8mm Mauser for about 6 years. It was a joy to shoot. Some cops can be trusted. ”

    Oops.

    Yes , I knew . The subject came up recently in passing.

    I was trying — unsuccessfully apparently — to make a point about double – talk and double – standards.

    In the first case , the killing of brown people is a very important matter , if Nazis are doing the killing.

    Otherwise , the killing of brown people doesn’t really seem to be very important at all.

    Like I said recently , to my eyes the bizarre thing about the movie , ” To Kill A Mockingbird ” is that it is NOT an example of racism.

    Tom Robinson would be just as fucked now , as then , and actually for pretty much the same reasons , which in that case , then , were only superficially racial .

    In the second case , the matter of gun rights / a right of self – defense ,

    It does not seem to me that in the case of police I suddenly do a back flip and adopt a policy that flatly contradicts the policy I just endorsed.

    I don’t have a problem with the idea of handing out AK – 47’s to ordinary people.

    ( But then , it appears that my real sin against the police is that I view them as merely ordinary people. )

    If I must pin – point one thing that establishes my views in this matter it is this ;

    In my country , when the shit got really deep , then they handed out MG – 34’s to 12 year old boys.

    The Nazis looked quite askance at the idea of women soldiers , but , when German cities were being relentlessly bombed flat , but AA guns simply were not as high a priority as tanks , infantry , and air force , some of those AA guns wound up being manned by women.

    And , again , when the shit got really , really deep , in at least a few cases Panzerfaust’s were handed out to 12 year old girl scouts.

    To many Americans apparently , Cowboy movies are really bullshit nostalgia.

    But , to me , it’s grim and serious policy.

    You don’t trust a waitress with an AK – 47 ,

    but you trust her with rights ?

    I don’t think so.

    Anyway’s , I’m sorry to hear that you don’t still have the MG – 34.

    That’s the full extent of that.

      Thank you for the explanation. Though, I have to tell you. The more I learn, I’m not sure sometimes whether its more appropriate to laugh or cry, or maybe laugh and cry at the same time? Either way, I was sad to learn that the identifier “American” isn’t really appropriate for us anymore. It makes total sense since so many foreign Brown tsunamis have rendered the word into really a tool of globalism and a descriptor of what is becoming a giant borg of nothingness. But I’m just disappointed. But then maybe its good cuz then we are simply Whites and that IS our identity, a nation and race even if we don’t have our state yet. And I am also very disappointed at the brazen assertion that hath is not a word. The last time I closely examined the subject matter I was happy to find that the English language was indeed living. And honestly, I love the archaic words. So we shall doeth and saith all which we wisheth. Aye or nay? And there is nothing ya’ll Brits can do to stoppeth it! 😉

        Ye wishetheth will methinks. In these final days, I’ve gone back to my roots, acquiring a new White Nationalist Bible, The Fair Race’s Darkest Hour, full of good essays and classical quotes anent our situation. Of course before, it was just this or that nation or civilization dying. This time it’s our entire Race and Civilization encompassing all of our nations.

        Here’s another: Polybius on his fellow Athenians, 2nd century BC: “degenerate, pleasure seeking beggars, without loyalty or belief, and without hope for a better future.” Sounds familiar, eh?

        Of course the weaker we get, the weaker our parasites will get as well. And when it all crashes there will most likely be survivors. They are the future, not America or any ruined formerly White nation. We must be prepared for that Hour and to capitalize upon it.

        Nay, we just try to help you do it properly, because it is worthy of respect.

        Remember (in addition to the fact that it’s a third person singular only), that it’s ‘doeth’ when it’s a main verb and ‘doth’ when it’s an auxiliary.

        He doeth his work, but he doth seem very pissed off about it. 🙂

        You’re welcome!

        By the way, I agree with you about archaic words. When I organised my mother’s funeral I picked the (sung) blessing ‘The Lord bless thee and keep thee’ (normally used for baptisms in our church) for the end of the service, but I had to ask the minister to use that version and not the version that had superseded it (you), which lacks poetry when you’re used to the old version.

        • So many liars February 10, 2021 at 6:39 am #

          I thank thee Green for pointing out that the archaic words have grammatical rules. Adding an “eth” to everything in violation of those rules causeth eyes to roll.

          It offendeth me that Microsoft Word doth not recognize the “archaic” KJV words that are nevertheless deeply embedded in our religious music, poetry, literature, and speech, and in daily use. How can words that are in daily use be archaic anyway?

            I think it’s fair enough to call it archaic, though. But it doth offend me slightly that my phone defaulteth predictively to ‘neighbor’ when I want to write ‘neighbour’ even though it’s clever enough to specifically message me when I move from one country to another, in case I might not otherwise have noticed. Verily, it can be annoying.

      No need to thank me. But please stop saying ridiculous things. I was brought up on the King James Bible. I know my hasts and haths without anyone ever having had to teach me, which makes me wonder why you have so much trouble with them.

    “Turns out 44 will vote against conviction; IOW, impeachment ain’t going nowhere.”

    Correct. Trump never conceded the election and is still our president.

    Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 19th president of the United States on March 4, 2021 and white sovereign citizens will rejoice. The U.S. was incorporated in 1871 and all Amendments passed after that are invalid.

    Where we go one we go all.

      I question whether you are being for real or not. But either way. I do find it strange that Trump is being impeached since there is no office for him to be impeached from. Or is there? But either way. The majority of Congress appears to be composed of duplicitous sociopaths and psychopaths and the, your? eff bee eye appears to have stormed the sacred temple. Thank you for confirming that this particular enterprise is an illegal corporation. Now we await the arrival of the real Enterprise.

        Likely a new media agent. The forced Q nonsense is all they have, as they have done nothing but dish out nutbar conspiracies since 2016.

        I can’t recall such national attention being devoted to any conspiracy that rivals Russia Truth, The Manchurian Candidate, or the idea that Trump has a secret network of white nativist/nationalists just waiting to attack the ghouls in DC.

        Despite the bad stuff, I quite enjoy living in this period of time. It is endlessly entertaining, and we get to see just how dull our ruling class and their scribes are.

        • SoftStarLight February 10, 2021 at 12:51 pm #

          Yes exactly! It is amazing to hear these propagandists go on and on about fearing conspiracy theories when they lived and breath conspiracy theories everyday. And it hasn’t stopped one bit. The impeachment scam/sham is more evidence of it. I did call Congressman Raskin’s office and the lady I spoke with basically verified that the impeachment is to ensure that DJT can’t run for office in 2024. I thanked her for her honesty. I agree that even those these are very frightening times that they are also very exciting. Now if only things could go our way sometimes….

      Oh boy, I really hope you are joking, or did you go down the rabbit hole of Qanon? There is help for you!! There are groups that will help you. It’s hard not to laugh at times about all of the crazy Q theories that keep coming, never happen, so they change to a new adventure like the one you listed. But, I actually really feel bad for everyone who has been sucked into it. Good luck to you, I hope you see the light.

      • SoftStarLight February 10, 2021 at 12:58 pm #

        Oh yes, heaven forbid one believe that ultra wealthy people can literally get away with murder! I feel bad for people who blindly trust liars and scam artists.

        • kbird February 10, 2021 at 1:02 pm #

          SoftStarlight,
          Right!! I’m with you on that, how wealthy people like Trump can get away with all of his crimes because he’s wealthy is so wrong. Sad all those people who blindly trusted him, what a scam artist!!

          • SoftStarLight February 10, 2021 at 1:06 pm #

            But are you really with me or not? You focus on Trump. Okay. Fine I suppose. But there are many other billionaires and trillionaires out there who receive no focus or attention at all. And in fact, all of this focus on Trump seems to provide the proper smokescreen needed for others to again..get away with murder. What are Trump’s crimes?

          • kbird February 10, 2021 at 1:13 pm #

            SoftStarLight,
            I’m absolutely with you, but that doesn’t mean I believe the nonsense of the Qanon crap. That is all just BS and takes away from reality.
            Extremely Wealthy people get away with things that you and I never could. And that does include Trump and his rich friends.
            So yes, I totally agree with you SSL, just not Qanon:)

          • SoftStarLight February 10, 2021 at 2:02 pm #

            Ok, well I can respect that. I believe the Q thing is more than meets the eye though. Which I offer to you as simply food for thought. Q actually shared a whole lot of good info in terms of what the Elites were/are actually doing behind the scenes. Q though got hijacked by the Elite IMO. That is when the messages became more bizarre and incoherent and interestingly enough that is about the time the media started having spasms over the whole Q thing. So they coordinated to essentially turn Q into an Elite psyop and it worked. Many trusted the “plan” which essentially resulted in people doing nothing. And who won? The Elites.

          • kbird February 10, 2021 at 2:22 pm #

            SoftStarLight,
            I appreciate the friendly dialogue with you:) I’ve actually been following the Qanon theories since they first started, but not as someone who believed, I had a family member who was deep into it and trying to understand what they were talking about. He has since changed his mind on it. But, I think we can just agree to disagree on that, and that is ok!
            I live in the Los Angeles area and I spent years working for different “Wealthy people”, working as Estate manager and personal assistant to actors and extremely wealthy business men. To be honest, the Hollywood people I worked for, in general, at least what I saw, were just people who worked hard…. I’m not talking about people like the Kardashians, don’t even get me started lol! But, I once worked for a billionaire business man who was not in the Hollywood Industry, and it was terrifying. The power that comes with that money, they can buy ANYTHING. Let’s just say I didn’t last too long with him, it was unbelievable the things I witnessed. Well, thanks for keeping it Civil SSL, that doesn’t always happen on here with differing opinions and I do appreciate that. Have a great rest of your day!!

    It seems that Donald Trump was none too pleased with his legal team on the opening day. I have to agree- it was a totally incoherent shambles. At one point Bruce Castor was almost inviting (or daring) the DOJ to indict his client on federal crimes.

    How does he find them?

    Not that it will mean much … I expect that virtually all the GOP senators believe that Trump is guilty of incitement, but they don’t care – there is probably much more downside for them individually and personally if they vote to convict rather than acquit, so they will vote to acquit.

    Especially all those facing primaries / re-election in 2022, and maybe even 2024.

      Justice can be a negative.

      Like , for example , what sort of person would subsequently run for the presidency , and why , if the likely outcome was a stretch in prison ?

      A person might run under such circumstances so they can do a smash and grab looting.

      Like in a riot they break out the windows of a retail establishment and everyone runs in and grabs TV’s and runs off.

      Only in this case , you loot an entire country , and then skip out to the beaches of Malta or Cyprus.

      Or , your aim from the very beginning is dictatorship.

      When you have a lock on the police and the army nobody is going to be showing up with any arrest warrants no matter what you do.

    The Climate Czar — John Kerry — might be the first emissary in the history of the world eliberately negotiating deals and treaties AGAINST the best interests of the country and the people he purportedly represents. If it’s ever happened before I’m not aware of it, expect perhaps the treaty in 1917 Lenin negotiated with Germany, ceding away half of Russia.

      Lenin was in the pay of the Germans as their agent. As was everything connected with Communism. Russian Communism was the brainchild of the German Secret Service agencies. Although the Kaiser initially opposed this, rightfully fearing Communism will bite Germany in the ass, he was losing the war and this was the way out presented to him by his war strategists.

            Having multiple parties is only sustainable if you have a better election system – American and UK FPTP systems are the least democratic. You need proportional representation, or preferential voting (also called ranked choice or instant run-off).

            Otherwise you need very tight coalitions, which effectively come back down to a two-party system.

  82. zetamoose February 10, 2021 at 10:05 am #

    I am indifferent on arguments of how constitutional or unconstitutional the impeachment is. I think of it entirely in terms of whether it is a good idea or not. I believe it is mostly a waste of time.

    while Trump is morally responsible for whipping his followers up into a frenzy for two months, resulting in two police being killed and several of their own being killed, I cannot see how he is legally responsible. He is not self-conscious enough to understand what he was doing. It appears as though he just feels like he is performing with Vince McMahon on the WWE.

    • rube-i-con February 10, 2021 at 10:10 am #

      give us the specific statements he uttered that shows he is ~morally responsible~ for anything untoward that happened.

      Zetamoose, your information is wrong. Only one person was killed at the disturbance of 1/6/2021. Ashley Babbitt was murdered by a Capitol Officer who remains unnamed and not charged with the murder. The Capitol policeman died afterwards from who knows what. There seems to be no witnesses and no video of the incident. As far as the other deaths, there were 500,000 people there. In a city of that size 11 people would die on any random day. I guess you could say the death count was low.

    Does Putin know of Techno-narcissism?

    https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2021/02/08/collective-hysteria-western-leaders-work-alter-definition-reality/

    “Hopes that it will be possible to reboot the old growth model are connected with rapid technological development. Indeed, during the past 20 years we have created a foundation for the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution based on the wide use of AI and automation and robotics. However, this process is leading to new structural changes, I am thinking in particular of the labour market. This means that very many people could lose their jobs unless the state takes effective measures to prevent this. Most of these people are from the so-called middle class, which is the basis of any modern society.”

    Putin points out that these flaws, inherent within the western growth model, and the ‘turn’ to Big Tech as salvation, were not specifically caused by the pandemic. The latter nonetheless, has pulled the mask from the face of the economic model, and also exacerbated its noxious symptoms:

    “The coronavirus pandemic … which became a serious challenge for humankind, only spurred and accelerated the structural changes, the conditions for which had been created long ago. Needless to say, there are no direct parallels in history. However, some experts – and I respect their opinion – compare the current situation to the 1930s [the Great Depression]”.

    Putin hints, but does not say explicitly, that that the pandemic, by aggravating the socio-economic stress, precisely has contributed to the general hysteria (and polarisation) – and the hunt for external enemies (i.e. such as the ‘CCP virus’).

    Putin notes a further contributing factor:

    “Modern technological giants, especially digital companies, have started playing an increasing role in the life of society. Much is being said about this now, especially regarding the events that took place during the election campaign in the U.S. They are not just some economic giants. In some areas, they are de facto competing with states. Their audiences consist of billions of users that pass a considerable part of their lives in these eco systems. In the opinion of these companies, their monopoly is optimal for organising technological and business processes. Maybe so – but society is wondering whether such monopolism meets public interests”.

    Take the impeachment for what it is, a further attempt at driving another nail into the conservative coffin. Keeping Trump at media center allows more damage to the 80 million Deplorables who are looking for a messiah right now to lead the charge to take America back from the Amerikans.

    I am waiting for Trump to take the role, or in lieu of him, a new leader for patriotic Americans, to start to destroy the Woke movement.

    One observation, there are many investigations on Jan. 6 going on. Not a single input from these investigations on the Senate floor, just a bunch of cherry picked edited videos. It is a sham!

    I wonder why Trump wants to continue to participate in this country. All that has happened to him is pure political garbage. I guess that is what happens when you are dealing with alligators in the swamp.

    I cannot wait for 2022. I am looking forward to watching a crestfallen Pelosi handing over the gavel.

    • JohnAZ February 10, 2021 at 11:38 am #

      Because they know that Biden lost the election and that illegal votes, ballots and computer manipulation, made sure he was going to win. We now are dealing with the destruction of America that the Dems promised in the last four years.

      The Dems do not have much to worry about, their media blanket will just cover things up.

      Trump never stood a chance, but his legacy and his further influence in the future can damage the Dems much more than his presidency. Remember that nothing moves people more than martyrs. The seeds of the end of Wokesterism may be being sowed in the Senate this week. Nothing is more disgusting than the RINOs lying trying to justify their vengeful votes. Mittens, stuff it, you are history.

        It’s my understanding that in the response to 9/11, the PATRIOT Act authorized federal authorities to obtain such banking information in their efforts to chase and track terrorist activity.

        Bank of America would have had to comply with the legislation, in handing over “confidential” customer information.

    • SoftStarLight February 10, 2021 at 2:13 pm #

      “What next? Dolls that spy for the Feds or call you a racist?” – Smart appliances are de facto spies. So honestly, dolls and other toys generally are also probably spies right now already as we type. This is also likely why there is such a massive push (and unfortunately demand) that everything be electronic and digital. Notice how the article openly mocks and derides anyone who doesn’t want to go along to get along.

  90. SacredKarailee February 10, 2021 at 12:31 pm #

    I’m going against the flow. Sorry guys but from where I sit, Trump tried to rig the election. Slowing the mail? How many drop boxes were removed from various districts? Refusing to have mask mandates on federal property or to safeguard voting? Sidelining minorities and immigrants? Come on, gimme a break. Trump tried his level best to win, up to and including fomenting an insurrection, and he still lost. Maybe the Democrats cheated, but he started it. I have zero sympathy.

    I read Kunstler, and he’s mostly on target with his analysis of the decline of empire. But he’s missing the fact that Republican ire is demographically a dead end just as Trumpism turned out to be. The birth rate of Republican America is below replacement levels. No amount of posturing and larping at being civilian military will change that.
    Only a sustained effort towards encouraging and supporting families might help, but, that pre-supposes the idea motherhood is something of value in Post America.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 10, 2021 at 12:40 pm #

      Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man…

      “How many drop boxes were removed from various districts?”

      None that I’m aware of.

      “Refusing to have mask mandates on federal property or to safeguard voting?”

      Biden skirted his new mandate on day one, on camera Who cares? Not me, but just sayin..

      “Sidelining minorities and immigrants?”

      When tf did this ever happen? On the other hand, many polling places were caught posting Voter Guides on the way in suggesting Biden and dem tickets. Kinda sidelines the other side, wouldn’t you say?

      “up to and including fomenting an insurrection”

      Errr, ok. Comic Book Guy would say, “Worst…insurrection…ever.”

      “The birth rate of Republican America is below replacement levels”

      Same for the enlightened left. Actually worse. Next.

      “Only a sustained effort towards encouraging and supporting families…”

      Yes, the left is very interested in this. Via Planned Parenthood and BLM listing the dismantling of the nuclear family as a stated goal (before removing it from their site after eventual backlash).

        There is a lot of information on the Internet about the removal of drop-boxes in several states … this example is from Texas:

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 11, 2021 at 9:50 am #

          Far as I can get from that article they didn’t remove them, they just limited the number to be placed.

          Either way, meh. People being “inconvenienced by a drive to cast their vote”. That’s where our populace is now?

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 11, 2021 at 9:52 am #

          People have always gone to pick up grandma and give her a ride to the polls. This is nothing new. Except for the added lack of protection by ramping up mail-in balloting in states that have never done it on such a scale before.

          My thought – you wanna vote? Get yourself to the polls. Worked just fine for a few hundred years, no?

    • rube-i-con February 10, 2021 at 12:43 pm #

          “Are you saying that ALL the votes that weren’t for Trump were invalid?”

          Some people are so partisan that they do say that. It’s in the same spirit as “the only way I can lose the election is if it is rigged”. Which I still believe would have cost Trump millions of centrist votes.

      “Sidelining minorities and immigrants” – wow this is also utterly bogus

      Trump probably did more to help Blacks than any other President I know of. Certainly he could not bring himself to ever outwardly acknowledge that White America elected him. I guess in that since he was perfectly PC and narrative compliant. Additionally, Trump openly stated that he wanted to bring tons of immigrants into the country much to the chagrin of his supporters. He only wanted to tighten the labor market to help American workers earn higher wages but no doubt, once American workers were doing better he wanted to continue the immigrant flood. Just a focus on merit rather than on specifically stacking the elector system which is why Dems want immigrants.

    The national mood turns sour as we are forced to cough up the disgusting orange bolus once again. Biden has done far more in his first few weeks that that ignorant fool ever dreamed of. He is rightly ignoring the impeachment proceedings as he has a country to put right after 4 tragic years.

    Great fun watching the GOP self-immolate with ridiculous standard bearers like the loud-mouthed ignorant twat MTG and cross-eyed Eddie Munster styled Matt Gaetz both of whom plumb new depths of stupidity.

      There is even pressure on Biden right now to close existing natgas and oil pipelines, one in Michigan and I think one in Washington State.

          Assuming he didn’t cheat, there were actually 74 million votes for Trump in 2020.

          You seem to b stuck on “80 million” – as in
          > “80 million unsigned ballots” and
          > “80 million instant Trump Party members”.

            You are again discounting the actual video evidence of vote flipping 10k at a time in the swing states.

    It’s people like you that explain how fascism, communism, and every form of totalitarian authoritarianism thrives so well in human history.

        • romanmanner February 10, 2021 at 11:28 pm #

          That you don’t see fascism and communism as two sides off the same coin tells me all I need to know about you. Hell, say what you want about communism, at least it produced its own body of literature to justify its excesses- fascism is just kneejerk right-wing angry that amplifies itself until it falls apart or is destroyed by a better organized force.

          The fact of the matter is most of you are upset with what happened on Jan 6th, not that it occurred, but that it ‘failed.’

          You’re insurrectionists, extremists, fascists and totalitarians.

          The majority of the communication on this thread is disappointment that the ‘revolution’ hasn’t happened yet. That you aren’t in your motorized scooters watching the world burn down. The same world that you can’t compete in that has people with darker skin than you succeeding from time to time.

          None of you are interested in conversation or debate, it’s why you hide in this conspiratorial echo chamber like birds on a wire all squawking the same song. And you somehow think that after it all falls apart you’ll find yourselves as ‘little kings’ in some imagined fiefdom where all is right in the world.

          Its pathetic. Pathetic and sad.

            That sure is a whole boat load of projection there Roman. Or do you prefer to be called Syrian? I respect your wishes either way. Fascism and Communism are not actually two sides of the same coin. That would be Capitalism and Communism. Both of which are destroyers of sovereign nations, human life, and biodiversity. I appreciate life, human diversity, and biodiversity. And of course every living thing has its own niche. A place for everything and a wonder of Nature really. Between the coin flips of Capitalism and Communism though hundreds of millions if not billions of people have been outright exterminated. But wow! All that great literature!

            And btw, I’m flattered you consider me an insurrectionist, an extremist, a fascist, and a totalitarian. Such are far more preferable fates than being a mindless, post-human drone. Hmmm It all sounds familiar.

    Uh oh

    Cops shot up a civilian in Seattle, after civilian had shot a couple in a car. Aktion took place in front of the NW Museum of African American History, on Jimi Hendrix Blvd.

    Seattle is actually one city that has made inroads into ‘Defunding the Police’. The first move was to hire a convicted pimp (at $150,000 per year) to oversee a staff of social workers. Needless to say, violence on the street has exploded.

    It’s pretty cold in Seattle right now so that might tamp down the reactionary violence. At any rate, in Seattle, anything that can be burned and looted, has been burned and looted. No point in taking to the streets if there ain’t a free TV or a pair of sneakers in it for you.

    n unrelated news, DHS jackbooted thugs pounced on some racist white supremacist 8-year-old cisgendered domestic terrorist bastard, as he shouted “How come they’re all naked?” from the bottom of the Capitol steps. Sources report that after a good old-fashioned ass-whipping, and their trademark boots stamping on his face, forever, plus another 10-20 years of re-education in the mandatory public gulags, following sentencing his former parents to lifelong prison terms filling in the trench planned for the Keystone pipeline, they hope the misguided little monster will be allowed to rejoin society, once he is properly re-educated, after state-mandated gender-reassignment surgery, lobotomy, and chemical castration. Unnamed sources from within xer office reported that Congressweasel Evita Chavez-Castro muttered “The little sh*t had it coming. Hail Satan!”, but we were unable to confirm this before press time

    “That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream – a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information,” Ball writes. “They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.”

    Molly Ball, author of the Time report.

    Anglin: It’s basically a 7,000 word confession that the whole thing was rigged.

    Twitter poster: If you said this a few months ago, you would have been banned from Twitter.

    Yohoeth: We needed to destroy the Democratic village in order to save it. Molly assures us that it wasn’t a rig but a fort. It was fragile. It was going to die anyway, why not give it a push? Isn’t it better now? Democracy always meant rule via the mob by those who control the mob. We’re just eliminated the untermensch middle men and now rule you directly. What’s not to love? You will have nothing and you will be happy. We have lots of paint to paint a smile on your face. And you better not rub it off….

        I read the article – not a single reference to or from a state or federal authority that said the Dominion machines had a systematic Biden bias. Not one. Why should it be taken any more seriously than any idle Internet chatter?

        I remain sceptical there was any systematic fraud … and it will take a lot more than “gateway pundit” to change my mind.

          “I remain sceptical there was any systematic fraud … and it will take a lot more than “gateway pundit” to change my mind.”

          And you always will. MSNBC or NYT didn’t declare it, therefore you cannot allow yourself to use your own eyes to think something possible.

          • Tekapo February 12, 2021 at 3:57 am #

            I subscribe to the New York Times, but have never watched MSNBC. But the point remains … it is not a matter of the media deciding who wins.

            It is up to those who claim there was fraud to provide compelling evidence to … someone official who matters.

            And while there are people who seriously claim that there was a firefight in Frankfurt between the DoD and CIA, over a server, or operatives in the Vatican, or whatever other kraken freakiness you want to throw up, it is important that people like me remain totally sceptical and very questioning.

            Thankfully not all of us have a burning desire to believe and pounce on the next wild-eyed theory. Stay grounded, I say.

      “Anglin: It’s basically a 7,000 word confession that the whole thing was rigged.”

      Has anyone actually read it? It is not a confession about rigging an election at all – it is an explanation about how a group of disparate stakeholders joined forces to ensure a president they did not support didn’t get another term.

      People may not like the fact that they did that successfully – however there is no justification for morphing that into accusations of vote-rigging – the article doesn’t say there was, and no court in the country has said so either. Reality checks are required.

        “It is not a confession about rigging an election at all – it is an explanation about how a group of disparate stakeholders joined forces to ensure a president they did not support didn’t get another term.”

        Semantics. The changing/softening of a few words make it okay for you? The meaning is exactly the same. They are rubbing the country’s noses in it by publishing that, and half the country will love it and half will not.

        It’s essentially a political version of OJ’s “If I Did It” book.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 11, 2021 at 10:28 am #

        Swap out “disparate stakeholders joined forces” for “various powerful plotters conspired”…

        And swap out “to ensure a president they did not support didn’t get another term” for “to guarantee the victory of their candidate at any cost”…

        And you have exactly what the media is doing with anything conservative or Trump-related. Most notably in regards to the “Insurrection” and the “Storming of the Capitol”.

        You have tunnel vision if you don’t see how easy that was for me to do, and I’m not a trained newspaper editor.

      Karl Marx writes to Abraham Lincoln on November 22, 1864

      Sir:

      We congratulate the American people upon your re-election by a large majority. If resistance to the Slave Power was the reserved watchword of your first election, the triumphant war cry of your re-election is Death to Slavery.

      From the commencement of the titanic American strife the workingmen of Europe felt instinctively that the star-spangled banner carried the destiny of their class. The contest for the territories which opened the dire epopee, was it not to decide whether the virgin soil of immense tracts should be wedded to the labor of the emigrant or prostituted by the tramp of the slave driver?

      When an oligarchy of 300,000 slaveholders dared to inscribe, for the first time in the annals of the world, “slavery” on the banner of Armed Revolt, when on the very spots where hardly a century ago the idea of one great Democratic Republic had first sprung up, whence the first Declaration of the Rights of Man was issued, and the first impulse given to the European revolution of the eighteenth century; when on those very spots counterrevolution, with systematic thoroughness, gloried in rescinding “the ideas entertained at the time of the formation of the old constitution”, and maintained slavery to be “a beneficent institution”, indeed, the old solution of the great problem of “the relation of capital to labor”, and cynically proclaimed property in man “the cornerstone of the new edifice” — then the working classes of Europe understood at once, even before the fanatic partisanship of the upper classes for the Confederate gentry had given its dismal warning, that the slaveholders’ rebellion was to sound the tocsin for a general holy crusade of property against labor, and that for the men of labor, with their hopes for the future, even their past conquests were at stake in that tremendous conflict on the other side of the Atlantic. Everywhere they bore therefore patiently the hardships imposed upon them by the cotton crisis, opposed enthusiastically the proslavery intervention of their betters — and, from most parts of Europe, contributed their quota of blood to the good cause.

      While the workingmen, the true political powers of the North, allowed slavery to defile their own republic, while before the Negro, mastered and sold without his concurrence, they boasted it the highest prerogative of the white-skinned laborer to sell himself and choose his own master, they were unable to attain the true freedom of labor, or to support their European brethren in their struggle for emancipation; but this barrier to progress has been swept off by the red sea of civil war.

      The workingmen of Europe feel sure that, as the American War of Independence initiated a new era of ascendancy for the middle class, so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes. They consider it an earnest of the epoch to come that it fell to the lot of Abraham Lincoln, the single-minded son of the working class, to lead his country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world.

      Signed on behalf of the International Workingmen’s Association, the Central Council: Longmaid, Worley, Whitlock, Fox, Blackmore, Hartwell, Pidgeon, Lucraft, Weston, Dell, Nieass, Shaw, Lake, Buckley, Osbourne, Howell, Carter, Wheeler, Stainsby, Morgan, Grossmith, Dick, Denoual, Jourdain, Morrissot, Leroux, Bordage, Bocquet, Talandier, Dupont, L.Wolff, Aldovrandi, Lama, Solustri, Nusperli, Eccarius, Wolff, Lessner, Pfander, Lochner, Kaub, Bolleter, Rybczinski, Hansen, Schantzenbach, Smales, Cornelius, Petersen, Otto, Bagnagatti, Setacci; George Odger, President of the Council; P.V.

Jung, Corresponding Secretary for Switzerland; William R. Cremer, Honorary General Secretary.

      Yoho: Marx was right: the repudiation of the Principle of Aristocracy put American squarely in the Leftist camp. This was always their real enemy – not Capitalism, though the division of the one in twain was a most useful fiction to delude the nations.

      In contrast, Jefferson Davis corresponded with one of the Popes, who privately stated Yankee Capitalism was the great enemy of the Church and the World, not Aristocracy.

        At this particular juncture I am simply astonished and overwhelmed. Essentially what I am understanding from this is that it is Abraham Lincoln who was the clandestine Marxist revolutionary. I’m not sure even how to respond. I thought I had accepted him and his legacy of devastation finally even though there was still an unnerving feeling about it all. But at a more subconcious level it already makes sense now and validates what I perceived all along. That the US is a Leftist Superstate with every institution also leftist to the very core. Including the American churches. And so our civilation has truly been racing off to the left for hundreds of years. So in reality, we were already a Communist country long before the Bolsheviks and the USSR. Wow

        • Yohannon February 11, 2021 at 3:06 am #

          Well no, I don’t think he wrote back personally. The American
          ambassador wrote back a formula type thank you. I believe Marx wrote a few times, but it’s hard to find the rest of them – or whether Lincoln even read them. In other words, Marx knew they were fellow travelers. Lincoln probably wouldn’t have agreed – but I do in an ideological and indirect way. But one that is still very real.

          Here is the letter and the response:

          https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/iwma/documents/1864/lincoln-letter.htm

          Marx understood the capital centralizes and in the end there would be One power or system. He may or may not have understood that the Capitalists knew this as well. Some say they were backing him. I should say the Bankers specifically. They were International long before the modern Corporations came into being and came to the same “place”. They have been the leaders in this and remain so I believe.

          So I won’t tell you to calm down because your alarm is justified.

          • SoftStarLight February 11, 2021 at 3:50 am #

            And so the plot thickens! Did you notice how Ambassador Adams reply appears to be dripping with globalist sentiments? Of course he was an ambassador. But he appears to basically say that nations exist primarily for the furtherance of the world order and “progress”. So that does give the impression at least that there was an early alliance of globalist ideas and Marxist ideas. It’s fascinating and yes also frightening too.

      that~s what democrats do – destroy businesses, decades of toil and the strong families it produces

      once they destroy this, they consolidate those businesses in the hands of a few big players they control

      all under the guise of ~protecting you~ of course, e.g. from the virus

      they cannot allow competition, the little guy may not thrive and be independent, hence they could not allow the Trump economy to continue to flourish

      within 6 months you will need a vaxxport to walk the streets of any US city, and will need to show it on demand

      and need it to work , travel, engage in any business

        Indeed.

        Fascism with very little to mask it.

        It starts with the ruling elite’s glorification of ROME and NAZI war machines, and a general population that is schooled stupification and ignorance.

        It ends with the ruling elite’s complete contempt for the general population and complete disregard for their being.

        We’ve been through this script and staged theater so many times over the centuries, and as many times we fail to hold accountable the organization behind it.

      In NYC, it appears its the Jewish Community that Mayor D. is cracking down on the hardest. That’s what comes thru from a daily reading of the NY Post.

      What’s more, Jewish owned storefront businesses in Brooklyn and Manhattan are be routinely looted and robbed in mob attacks called “Wildings” to this day, with very little interference from the NYPD. That too is reported almost daily.

        The NYPD is a mafia crime organization. Almost 100% of its members are Vatican mafia parasites feeding on Jewish taxes. When the Jews leave, the city will look like Detroit and Buffalo, a ghoulish dead zone with obscene Roman Churches and Cathedrals peppered everywhere and a beastly zombied population high on drugs.

    Democrat run New York State, regarding illegals using drivers licenses to vote:

    “As a former Erie County Clerk who ran Auto Bureaus throughout the County, I know how easy it is to register to vote while doing a transaction at the DMV,” said State Senator Chris Jacobs. “With the Green Light Law taking effect it will be incredibly simple for illegal immigrants to register to vote, especially since the Green Light Law specifically prohibits employees from asking a person’s citizenship while registering to vote at the DMV.

    Jacobs claims the concern about voter fraud from the Green Light Law is real, as other states that have instituted similar laws have seen increases in fraud. In California officials estimated that as many as 1,500 non-citizens were incorrectly registered to vote. In Pennsylvania, the fraud problem was much more severe. Officials there confirmed that over 11,000 non-citizens became voters through their department of Motor Vehicles. These statistics confirm the great potential for fraud locally as more than 50% of new registrations in Erie County come through the State Department of Motor Vehicles.

    The Senator explained that once a person registers at a DMV, that information goes immediately to the Board of Elections and currently there is no requirement to verify one’s citizenship when they go to vote.

    this is what leftists do under the guise of ~protecting you~

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 11, 2021 at 11:08 am #

      Yeah, the whole argument of not having to prove you’re legal to vote is the most mind-bending distortion of logic.

      Being a citizen is kind of the whole fucking point.

      Doesn’t mean I want you rounded up out of your apartment and deported in the middle of the night, just means you don’t get to vote. Cuz, well, you’re not a citizen.

    The circus sideshow in the Senate is pretty amusing.

    Look, I get that members of congress would be genuinely afraid when they were told people had broken into the building. But their melodramatic soliloquys about their harrowing experiences (forced tears, shaking voices and all) are pathetic.

    Try being a guy in a residential metro neighborhood last summer watching hordes of rabid youths jumping on their cars, rolling dumpsters into their neighborhood intersections at 1am, piling on mattresses and setting them on fire underneath the 100 yr-old trees that hang over their homes (with mom and three kids inside), with the dumpsters blocking any quick access by police or fire services.

    That’s a reason to be truly afraid. These ninnies have all the security on the planet and they’re going to cry on TV.

    These are our “leaders”. Remember that. These people would turn over state secrets in 3 seconds if someone even did the old “made you flinch” game with them.

        I’m with you benr. I was using the word “amusing” rather loosely.

        I have traditionally stood back and accepted the human comedy, as I know I can change very little outside of my sphere.

        A Man For All Seasons – “Give The Devil Benefit Of Law”

        https://youtu.be/WMqReTJkjjg

        The Law didn’t save Tomas More. He was murdered by his peers. What ultimately saved England, at least temporary, was the Hebrew Bible and the English puritan culture it produced.

        Culture is the fountainhead of politics, and further downstream, economic and personal health and prosperity.

    • BackRowHeckler February 11, 2021 at 11:14 am #

      All that has been ignored, Mango.

      Plenty of civilians were dragged from their cars and badly beaten by Antifa/BLM mobs since last June. Others have been assaulted inside and outside their businesses, like the couple in Philly last summer pummelled at their convenience store with 2X4s. Heels Up Harris cheered the assailants on, and bailed them out in the unlikely event they were arrested.

      The cops rarely even bothered showing up for these incidents, but when they did, they would arrest the people being attacked “for resisting peaceful protesters.”

      Like I mentioned earlier, what a shock it was for many people when they realized the looters, arsonists and thugs were supported by the mayor, city council, and police commissioner.

        Minneapolis mayor SmallFrey is up for re-election later this year.

        We’ll see how tunnel-visioned his constituents are, considering he literally handed over the city to be looted and burned for days on end, for fear of being labeled unwoke.

        That said, his main challenger? Sheila Nezhad (she/her pronouns, just to clarify).

        The first statement on her campaign page:

        “2020 changed me. I have always believed in the possibility of a revolution, of a more just world. This year the people of Minneapolis taught me what walking toward justice really looks like.”

        So it looks like Mpls is over a barrel one way or another. For some reason they’re trying to out-Portland Portland.

        • rube-i-con February 11, 2021 at 12:23 pm #

            Nezhad is a “policy advisor” for Reclaim The Block, which (despite the organization’s title implying reclaiming it from criminals, as in “Take Back The Night” campaigns in the past) aims to remove police from the community and give the block *back* to criminals.

            Somehow SmallFrey is now the more conservative of the two for not backing the abolishment of the police. Which of course he shouldn’t, as that is the most ignorant, backwards concept the left has put forth yet.

            Just for fun, the Mpls city council president said last summer that “calling police for break-in ‘comes from a place of privilege’.” Meanwhile, they added (to the public budget) private security details for the thirteen council members.

            Seriously.

            Maybe Jesse the Body could come back from Mexico and crack their heads together like coconuts and be a real mayor who doesn’t bow to numbskulls who don’t even understand their own agendas. Hell, he still has a place in the burbs…

    • kbird February 11, 2021 at 1:06 pm #

      Oh please, melodramatic? All the security on the planet? They certainly didn’t have all of the security on 1/6, they were outnumbered and anybody can see that. Those people were like rabid dogs, and had they gotten ahold of anyone they would have torn them apart, it was that mob mentality, like a pack of dogs. I’m not disagreeing with what happened in the summer, that was absolutely wrong and horrible, but to discount 1/6 is wrong.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 11, 2021 at 1:25 pm #

        They “got a hold of plenty of people”, mostly Capitol security guards, who came in and asked them politely to leave the house chamber. They said they’d leave, no worries. Buffalo Man actually said a prayer from the podium, then they left. Three minutes. They didn’t grab the guards and tear them apart.

        “Pack of dogs”?

        You clearly didn’t watch one video of what actually took place.

        Also, the Capitol police removed the gates and let them in. Waved them in with their arms, literally.

        If you can’t see that as a setup to try to hope a bunch of people would go nuts and hurt people, you are irretrievable.

        And if you actually equate that event with the hundreds of “protests” last summer that ended in destruction, beating, fires and businesses/homes lost all over this country, then you sir should probably run for the Minneapolis city council. They’d have you in a second.

        • kbird February 11, 2021 at 1:35 pm #

          Oh I saw the videos..Did you miss the one of them violently dragging the police officer down the stairs while they beat him with flagpoles? You must be watching the Fox version, Newsmax or Breitbart…I watched numerous videos and watched Live while it was happening, and it was violent. what I meant to type, if they got ahold of anyone in congress, they would have torn them apart. They went in there looking to kill members of Congress.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 11, 2021 at 1:46 pm #

            Dontcha think if that were their intention they would’ve…I dunno…brought guns?

            No one can deny they got just enough jkackasses agitated to make for a good show. But it was not 1% of how it is now described. Insurrections involve…guns. And a plan.

            This had neither.

            Also, now confirmed that at least a handful of those at the front pushing people in were former FBI, Antifa and BLM agitators.

            Oh, and I haven’t watched Fox, Breitbart or Newsmax in years. I watched the videos from their various individual sources. Not a composite edit that any of the news agencies put together to advance one narrative or another. That way I can see it with my own eyes.

            Sorry, not your usual target I guess.

        “All the security on the planet?”

        Suggest to me one American with more security than a member of Congress (besides the president).

        “They certainly didn’t have all of the security on 1/6”

        As I mentioned above, their security parted the Red Sea and waved them in to the Promised Land. On purpose.

        Those members of Congress were expecting it and hoping for much worse.

            “secession is the only solution”

            There are pretty reasonable arguments that say the US “would work better” if it were split into 5-6 regions, or in other words, it is not necessarily a better place for being so huge. Will never happen of course – not voluntarily via a referendum, that is.

            Thomas Jefferson fervently believed America had to get big or get beaten, but circumstances are different today – an overwhelming percentage of rich, stable, and ethnically harmonious countries have populations well under 100 million.

            The problems with secession of course of are (a) it is illegal and the union would not allow it, and (b) the country does not divide neatly into red v blue, and most of the states are split internally (often cities v small towns).

            Montana and Nebraska have plenty of Democrat voters, while California and NY have millions of Republican voters.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder February 11, 2021 at 2:56 pm #

            Tekapo – “The problems with secession of course of are (a) it is illegal and the union would not allow it”

            I’m not in favor of secession and all that would go with it (look how cleanly it went the last time it was tried), but it is not illegal.

            Supreme Court ruled in the 1860’s that “unilateral” secession was unconstitutional, but with sufficient consent of the states it would be a legal action. Granted, that would mean that both “sides” would have to agree that it was a good idea. Not likely, but possible in the near future, considering how much the divide (real or manufactured) has been fomented by those at the levers of control who likely wish for such an outcome eventually. See: Hunger Games.

    Where is This Going?
    Previously on “This is Happening in Real Life”:

    An entire 2/3rds of Americans (and most Europeans) are still scared to death of a flu hoax that has kept them locked in their houses for a year.

    The leader of the lockdown agenda, Anthony Fauci, has effectively said that the lockdown will last until 2024.

    Divorce, suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction, drug overdoses, and every other negative mental health outcome you can think of has skyrocketed during the lockdown. (We don’t really know the numbers yet.)

    At least one third of the total amount of US dollars in circulation was printed in 2020.

    The supposed vaccine for the virus is actually a genetic engineering device, which delivers synthetic mRNA to give instructions to the body’s cells. This technology could be used for changing people’s DNA.

    White people the world over are now engaging in a kind of religious worship of black people, and nonwhites generally, as a result of consistent guilt-oriented trauma by the media. When blacks riot and burn down cities, it is celebrated and called a “mostly peaceful protest.”

    The media just stole an election for the Democrat Party, and everyone knows it, and no one did anything about it.

    The alleged “President Biden” is a senile septuagenarian who doesn’t speak in coherent sentences. All of his interactions with the media are scripted, and there is apparently a microphone in his ear that tells him what to say.

    The protest at the Capitol, which was actually in real life mostly peaceful, is being framed as another 911. This time, the terrorists are normal white people who voted for Trump.

    Two groups have been charged with “conspiracy” as regards the “attack” on the Capitol, and the leaders of both groups are FBI employees.

    The United States Capitol is now occupied by the US military, and no one from the federal government has explained why. The Jewish governor of Illinois, however, who is a pretty powerful Democrat politician, said that he sent troops to the Capitol to fight “white supremacy” and “disinformation.”

    Joe Biden’s administration has announced that we now basically have an open borders policy for illegal immigrants. He’s also announced that he’s going to give citizenship to all illegal immigrants.
    Joe Biden has said he is increasing refugee admissions by 800%.

    Most white people believe that living a normal life in an industrialized society is a kind of sin which is causing forest fires and earthquakes. John Kerry is back out there preaching unhinged nonsense about the apocalypse.

    There are uprisings across the third world, spurred by the various intelligence agencies (primarily through the use of social media), aimed at putting women and homosexuals in charge of every government, which will allow for easy integration into a global system.

    A bizarre staged poisoning event involving a Russian neo-Nazi leader and cosmetic product embezzler has led to what appears to be a total shutdown of diplomatic relations between the West and Russia. This came after the US consulate encouraged anti-government protests in Russia, and European diplomats actually went to the protests.

    Virtually everyone in society is completely addicted to cellphone usage, and has their faces glued to the device most of their waking hours. This is changing the shape of their spines.

    Everyone’s face is already in a facial recognition database, there are already cameras all over the world in every public place, and many of these cameras are about to be linked into the global facial recognition database which, using 5G, will allow for real time registering of every movement anyone makes.

    People who sexualize children are now above reproach. Single mothers injecting their battered pre-pubescent (i.e., non-sexual) sons with puberty blockers and estrogen are celebrated as brave.

    Homosexual men dress up like demons and go to the public library, and single mothers bring their toddlers for the homosexual to physically fondle.

    Marijuana is being legalized across the world, with addiction being openly encouraged and incentivized by the state. (Recreational marijuana legalization has come close to doubling usage across demographics.)

    Opioid laws are no longer enforced, and intravenous drugs have effectively been decriminalized in America.

    Effectively 100% of men in the West are addicted to pornography. (This is true even in self-reported studies.)

    New legal precedent has put the word of a woman in court on the same level as physical evidence of a crime.

    The most popular show in Netflix history and one of the most watched items of scripted entertainment ever in history is a black male/white female interracial porno, which claims to feature real sex. (Bridgerton has been viewed by 82 million households. In comparison, 114 million watched the Super Bowl, which is the most watched event on television globally.)

    Elon Musk claimed last week that he put a computer chip in the brain of a monkey and the monkey was able to play video games with its thoughts. Musk estimates that commercial purchases of a neural interface device will be available by 2030.

    Anyone who says anything about any of this is banned from everything.

    So: how are you feeling?

    I hope not dizzy yet, because this party is just getting started.

    Yoho: You valued competition and making money above all things, so a people who were better at it (because they cooperate!, co-operate, work together) took much of it away from you.

    You valued sports far above their real value, so a people who are better at most of them took them away from you and used them to humiliate you.

    You valued bigness above all else (winning! capitalism!), so a larger people (the Chinese) has now begun to take your civilization away from you, with the traitors lauded are heroes and paragons of Capitalism. Who wants to be a be a Billionaire? You do!

    What the Chinese weren’t given or allowed to buy, they stole. You love your open society! Anything else would be racism.

    And what you excel at above all others, creating a great Civilization, that you didn’t value. You preferred all the little things, the selfish things to this one great thing at which you are the best.

    You also excel at creativity in the arts and sciences, but what is that if they are simply at the service of greedy or evil people? Because while you were focusing on these, you let the soul of your civilization die? And/or your own soul as well? Can you really have a Civilization without a religion backing it up? As Washington said, only rare individuals, highly educated and strangely formed, can be good without a belief in God. If you are one, fine. But to then savage the religion of the people, who as a group can NOT do without a religion, is the height of foolishness and folly. So you weren’t so smart after all, nor so good….

        Washington probably knew the Bible by heart, Vlad. This psychological programming made him and allowed him to be who he was. The puritan’s society and culture is what gave birth to the Enlightenment, the English Parliament, and downstream the birth of the US and modern western democracies. We need to get to these Hebrew Biblical roots, or Romanism/Fascism/Satanism will swallow everything that was built since then.

          The Hebrew Bible was changed by the Hebrews after the birth of Christianity and the writing of the New Testament. They changed the wording to make the prophecies of His coming more ambiguous. Thank God for great Christian scholarship translating it before they did so. We beat them to the punch/purge.

      The media just stole an election for the Democrat Party, and everyone knows it, and no one did anything about it.

      Not quite … a very large number of people believe the election was done fairly, Joe Biden got more votes, and Trump is just a sore loser.

      There are others like myself who remain sceptical – and have said repeatedly that if there is material evidence of election fraud, then convince an administrative tribunal or a court somewhere.

      The “media” don’t decide these things.

      “The alleged “President Biden” is a senile septuagenarian who doesn’t speak in coherent sentences. All of his interactions with the media are scripted, and there is apparently a microphone in his ear that tells him what to say.”

      I doubt very much any device in his ear is a “microphone” — if there is something it will be a earphone – a micro-speaker such as a hearing aid.

      I would remain cautious about believing Joe Biden is a “senile septuagenarian” – it is a common right-wing meme, but might be nothing more than wishful thinking. I don’t like Joe Biden, and think he was a pretty bad choice as candidate, but one faces reality and really hopes his administration does a good job.

          California signs up 800,000 voters via the DMV. Notice the subtle language

          ACRAMENTO – California voting rights organizations today praised the California Motor Voter program for dramatically increasing statewide voter registration. The joint effort between the Secretary of State and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) processed nearly 800,000 voter registration transactions at the DMV from late April through June and ensures voter registration will be convenient and voter rolls more accurate going forward.

          “We need to build a democracy where everyone participates, every vote is counted, and everyone’s voice is heard, and California Motor Voter is moving us in that direction,” said Kathay Feng, executive director of California Common Cause.

          TRANSLATION: SIGN UP NONCITIZENS TO VOTE DEMOCRAT

          Through California Motor Voter, eligible Californians who complete a driver’s license, identification (ID) card, or change of address transaction online, by mail or at a DMV office, are automatically registered to vote, unless they opt out. To be eligible, customers must verify they are a U.S. citizen, a resident of California and at least 18 years old, among other qualifications.

          VERIFY = “YEP I~M AN AMERICAN CITIZEN”

          =======================================

          HOW ABOUT OTHER STATES?

          When Vermont began its new system in 2017, for example, officials prepared for potential problems with the thousands of noncitizens who work on the state’s dairy farms.

          YES THAT~S WHY DEMOCRATS WANT ILLEGALS IN THE U.S.

          Vermont will register only DMV customers who both SAY they are citizens and don’t opt out of the registration, Senning said.

          AND THEN WE MAIL OUT 80 MILLION UNSOLICITED BALLOTS TO ALL THE ~VOTERS~ SIGNED UP THIS WAY

          • Tekapo February 12, 2021 at 12:27 am #

            Regarding the claim of “80 million unsolicited ballots mailed out”, stated by Donald Trump in August 2020, Reuters has this to say:

            “Voting by mail has a long history of reliability in the United States, serving as the primary method of voting in Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Hawaii, which automatically send registered voters mail-in ballots.

            Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, California, Nevada, New Jersey, Vermont, and Washington, D.C. have introduced the same procedure for the 2020 vote”

            Reuters says the total ballots automatically mailed out is about 42 million, rather than 80 million, and some of that is in states that have done it for many years All other states that allow mail-in voting require the voter to request a mail-in ballot..

            And of the nine states plus DC where ballots were sent out automatically to registered voters, only Nevada fell into the category of a “swing state” – all the rest are historically Democratic, except Utah.

            None of those states flipped from Republican to Democrat between the 2016 and 2020 elections.

          “The whole world of diverse intellectual topics and ideas, and his only response is “Orange Man Bad, election aboveboard”.”

          LOL … I received a very good education – so I could discuss a whole world of diverse intellectual topics and ideas – if they arose. However people want to repeat over and over that it was a fraudulent election; perhaps believing that if you say it often enough it will come true.

          It’s true that I think Donald Trump was a shockingly bad president in so many ways, but that does not lead to my firmly believing the election was “above board”, and I have never said so.

          My position is something like this:

          1. Those claiming fraud need to prove it, not just assert it
          2. A lot of people wanted Trump to lose, and the polls said so for months – so it could have legitimately occurred
          3. Trump didn’t even have much support within the broader Republican world, so swing states and courts did not go out on a limb for him
          4. Trump’s ego prevented him accepting a loss, so he lashed out

          And that is a long way from saying it was or wasn’t fraud.

          Anyway – it is both tiresome and moot – Joe Biden is president and that’s that … I’m not sure it’s useful to waste more ink going all over it again and again.

          ” …you didn’t respond to my last question yesterday, so I’ll ask again: how about your take on why, in some detail, “of course” Robin DiAngelo is a bigger threat to society than QAnon.”

          Here is a thoughtful article explaining how Robin DiAngelo’s teachings are very much a double-edge sword:

          https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/07/antiracism-training-white-fragility-robin-diangelo-ibram-kendi.html

          Basically I think DiAngelo is a money-making opportunist who is riding some pretty dubious theoretical coat-tails.

          As for QAnon cultists – they are all complete nutters, and it’s very hard not to ridicule everything they think and everything they say … how could people be so easily duped by such patent falsehoods?

          However if there is the Second Coming of Orange Man (good or Bad) on March 4, I’ll happily buy the entire forum a beer – let’s say at Sloppy Joe’s in Key West?

          • Soul Forensics February 11, 2021 at 4:28 pm #

            tekapo troll,

            Why can’t you address DiAngelo in your own words? Why do you have to hide behind those of others? Are you unable to make your own arguments? Is it because you’re playing the logical fallacy of the appeal to authority by citing an article by Chait? So be it. Here’s Chait, almost right off the top:

            “The anti-racism consulting industry does deserve both some sympathy and some credit. Its intention, to prod white Americans into more awareness of their own racism, is beneficent. And their premise that white people are often unaware of the degree to which racial privilege has enabled their success, which they can mistakenly attribute entirely to merit and effort, is correct.”

            This is depressingly common among the academic set, who are trying to preserve their own jobs and livelihood. You don’t see the irony here? It’s a normie’s view, predicated on two things: they want the absurd and nonsensical DiAngelo racism to disappear to save their skins because they’re smart enough to know it means their ostracization and career death; they’re, however, not smart enough (or courageous enough) to know that, by DiAngelo’s own Catch-22/Kafkaesque fuckery, it’s impossible to argue with her based on her own evil premises.

            The quote I pulled is pure cuckery. DiAngelo would laugh at it, proving her “point”. Chait is the “good” racist, the racist who recognizes his own racism. Such a good boy! But of course it won’t prevent a Queen LaTeesha et al to fire and doxx him anyway, the fool.

            And what “coat-tails” are you thinking DiAngelo’s riding? Her insane sophistry is of her own making. It’s so comprehensive and air-tight, even Goebbels would blush.

            “LOL … I received a very good education – so I could discuss a whole world of diverse intellectual topics and ideas – if they arose. However people want to repeat over and over that it was a fraudulent election; perhaps believing that if you say it often enough it will come true.” — tekapo

            This is a staggeringly lie, and surprisingly very unsophisticated coming from someone who supposedly knows more about Constitutional law than people in that field.

            One minute is all it takes to find a plethora of topics and conversations on this board that have nothing whatsoever to do with Trump or the election proper. Do you think you’re dealing with simpletons here? Take a look, you fraud. There are more than enough topics to satisfy anyone wishing to expound on a wide range of contemporary issues sans Trump. But you probably know the old saying. When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

            As to your tired-beyond-measure desultory parrot-squawk of “no evidence”, I (and many others) have rightly mocked that many times. Of course there’s no evidence if you don’t look, i.e. The Supreme Court, State Courts, and election overseers in Dem counties.

            But you know that, troll.

      Yes. Marxism is the intellectual vision of everyone in the academies. Arrogant, we-are-above-it-all advocates masquerading as our superiors, and first brought to us by the French. A pseudo-religion, but without the gowns (though they were featured in the not-so-distant past, as well) and any positive association other than some vague, undefined ‘perfection’ in a future that never comes, and that can never come.

      The arts and sciences have (first) slowly, and now quickly, been subsumed by aggressive Woke dicta. It’s our unenlightenment period, which will get far worse before it gets better.

    takapo – so democrat brenda snipes did not disenfranchise 2,000 republican voters in 2018? she claimed she couldn~t find the votes in her building premises, then later on claimed she failed to meet a vote-total entry deadline by 10 seconds, which resulted in some 700 republican votes not being counted

    those ‘lost’ votes were never found

    couple that with the motor voter fraud and tens of millions of unsolicited ballots sent to notoriously inaccurate voter rolls

    what the hell else do you need to admit the system is rife with fraud? a judge to tell you what~s obvious?

    Al Franken~s 312-vote win in 2008:

    “A few years later, we found out that more than 1,000 felons, ineligible to vote, had cast votes in the 2008 Minnesota election. (To state the obvious, felons support Democrats by about 10-1.) There were 113 separate convictions for voter fraud in that election. That’s not easy: In Minnesota, a conviction for voter fraud requires proof that you broke the law knowingly.”

      Tom – I don’t understand the dry sarcasm. Many have strong opinions, for sure. But no one here claims to have all the answers. Most people here are mainly pointing out the lack of answers, or complete backwards thinking of those in charge of having the answers.

      Transgender toilets, canceling of anyone not of the current political winning team’s mindset, open borders and neutering police forces nationwide does not a healed, healthy polity make.

      We’re just pointing out obvious faults and saying what could be better.

      Patriot Party or not, something has to change, or it will all be changed for us. Likely that will be the outcome, as resources are necessary to pull of a feat such as creating a valid rival party to the current velied uniparty system. Many things already have changed, and quickly. Basically saying that awareness of the game at hand is important.

      Whether anything real can be done about it at this point is conjecture. But worth exploring. No?

      I don’t understand all the conjecture about a third party, whether instigated by Trump and his supporters, or by breakaway moderate Republicans.

      Under the FPTP voting system, the Democrats could win just about every contest 40-30-30 … other than perhaps those that require 50% in the first round to avoid a run-off election.

      And campaigning between the two conservative factions could be nasty – not doing the Dems any harm. Whatever – I think Trump (and the GOP) need to distance themselves totally from all the QAnon and related nutters.

    They basic question it seems folks are debating is if this country can unify between two factions that are miles apart. The difference now is that one of the two hates America the way it is, and the other is very patriotic about America.

    This will never reconcile. When you try to destroy what another group loves, the only solution is destruction of one side or the other.

    What would a civil war look like with the cities fighting the rest of us.

    The truckers may hold the key. If they get fired up enough to cut off deliveries to the cities, all those liberal ding dongs will have to figure out how the government is going to feed them. It is already being discussed by the pipeline truckers.

    Legal or not, Balkanization may be the only peaceful solution, if it can stay peaceful. I wonder how the Left is going to hold together with no central culture or belief system to unify them. Hate Trump will not last forever.

      “This will never reconcile. When you try to destroy what another group loves, the only solution is destruction of one side or the other.”

      JAZ – I agree that the partisanship is probably as extreme as it has ever been since the Civil War, but I still think a battle between the working-middle classes who love Trump and all he stands for, and the working-middle classes who hate Trump and all he stands for … is both pointless and tragic.

      The real enemy should unite both groups … the real enemy is the corporate state – the elites and the professional | managerial class they employ to run things for their benefit. They use globalism to further their profits.

      I would still contend that the Joe who is unemployed – or maybe making $25,000 a year in multiple dead-end jobs – and lives in the most conservative county of Nebraska or North Carolina, has a LOT in common with the POC living in Detroit or the wilds of LA, earning the same, or being unemployed the same.

        Look to history.

        Yugoslavia was the same thing as we are now. Tito held it together with force. Then he died. The Muslims and Christians no longer had the Tito culture to hold them together. The Balkans split into their respective ethnic and religious sectors as separate countries. Diversity failed big time.

        We are going through the same thing here. The Constitution and its set of laws is the only thing holding this country together. The Left is trying to destroy that, and the Bill of Rights along with it. Without the common culture, the USA has no reason to exist, and it will split up.

        India did it, Yugoslavia did it. When internal divisive forces become too split, balkanization is the result. The big question is, can it be done peacefully or will the Deep State intervene militarily. Taking away power from the Deep State will not be taken kindly.

        And the Deep State does not care about the American people.

      Love Trump is a focus for the conservative, love America folks, 75 million of them. Their enemy is the Deep State and their insatiable drive for centralized power. Used to be called the Tea Party.

      Whether Trump is there or not, these folks will never get along with the gimme state the Left espouses.

    “the Democrats could win just about every contest 40-30-30” (Tekapo)

    It looks now like there will be four political parties:

    Democratic Party (Biden/Harris)

    Republican (Romney/RINO wing)

    Patriot Party (Trump loyalists)

    Independent Party (Evan McMullin)

    So, the contests will be: 40-20-20-20

    I personally was saddened to hear the prophet’s lamentation. When your people are dying for lack of wisdom and foresight it is very understandable that broken furniture is of little consequence. One can patiently hide from the storm and look forward to how fresh and shiny new things will be after the debris is cleared. After all, things are things. Eventually everything turns to dust. But what of the soul? Is it simply yet another commodity? And is not a world totally enchanted and entranced by things hostile to the soul? Perhaps innately Capitalism must ultimately destroy that which is spiritual and religious. For the love of money is the root of all evil. Just as Communism must destroy all that is spiritual and religious to eliminate obstacles to the concentration of all things to the state. Greed and grift are human nature. And thus healthy nations respond to human nature with systems of morality and attention to detail for the spiritual state of the people. Those societies already given over to the nihilist pursuit of stuff and power for the sake of stuff and power are essentially in a fragile state of managed anarchy and controlled demolition.

    Is it really so fashionable and reasonable to pretend like there is no such thing as insider trading? Who made it so? Did the subliminal messages emanating from the screen of your phone trick you into believing that millions of people don’t disappear each year? Where do they all go? Do full blood transfusions and organ replacements keep the ancient denizens of the sacred tabernacle of the multitude of silenced voices animated and conniving? Slaves long since passed invoke riots and insurrection but the trafficking of humans today in all reality garners little attention. But gosh! There couldn’t be a such thing as conspiracies! That is Q territory and we all know that is like the worst thng that could be in the whole wide world.

    Flow into the mystic. It can be difficult to find, but it’s always there.
