Apart from the 150 people shot (25 killed) in Chicago, the week after Father’s Day had the quality of a time-out from widespread anarchic violence that the Democratic Party has unleashed upon the nation to distract the public from the party’s lack of a viable election candidate or any credible platform of ideas for managing epic economic contraction. The contraction was already underway before Covid-19 greatly accelerated the damage.
Whipping up a moral frenzy over alleged “systemic racism” adds a nice overlay of psychological damage to a population reeling from economic loss, keeping them enthralled by phantoms, figments, and apparitions while all their familiar arrangements unravel around them. Last week’s pause in the action only portends a resumption of hostilities culminating in July Fourth, when the nation traditionally throws a birthday party for itself. No celebration will be allowed this year. But there may be plenty of marching, moiling, and mayhem.
Wokester Central has already established the story-line that the USA was a criminal enterprise from the start and that it must be smashed to set free the genius energies of Wakanda — currently misdirected in the suicidal gunplay seen in Chicago and other places of concentrated urban poverty. It’s pretty obvious that the uproars of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and its Antifa allies are to some degree centrally organized. They have access to plenty of cash, thanks to funding from George Soros’s Open Society Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and an array of showbiz-oriented corporate supporters. You can be sure that there will never be any accounting for it, since that would be labeled “racist.” The news media has shown zero curiosity about how exactly the money is being used — or merely distributed among those in the upper echelons of the hustle.
Based on the emails coming in here, some readers are baffled as to why I call BLM “a hustle.” I define a hustle as an effort to influence other people by dishonest means to give you something. Black America has received a tremendous amount of sympathetic assistance from the rest of the country since the 1960s, when the US government officially acknowledged the raw deal they’d gotten in slavery and Jim Crow segregation and passed landmark legislation to try to correct it. Doing so was a moral necessity when the USA posed as “leader of the free world.”
The effort has continued for decades with less than satisfactory results. A lot of well-intentioned help over the years had unfortunate unintended consequences. Everybody knows that the cash assistance programs created a pernicious culture of government dependence, hindered black family formation, and rendered black men superfluous except in sports and showbiz. Affirmative action in college admissions was undertaken mainly for institutional moral showboating, often with tragic outcomes for young people unprepared to perform there.
A large share of the black demographic remains mired in economic failure. Ending racial segregation was surely a moral imperative, but one tragic byproduct was the destruction of the old mirror economy of black middle-class business and professions. A lot of that was replaced by employment in various public bureaucracies, with jobs ranging from useless to pointless to hopelessly corrupt and inimical to the real common good. The evidence is right there, on-the-ground, in Newark, Baltimore, Philadelphia and many other cities. The rest of the country pretends not to see it because they are ashamed about how things turned out. They are even more desperate to seek phantom explanations and “systemic racism” covers it with elegant simplicity. No need to think further.
I don’t have the exact numbers, but it’s likely that the Covid-19 lockdowns took out disproportionately more jobs held by black Americans in low-paying food prep, hotels, and other service industries. A lot of those businesses will not be coming back to anything like their former levels of activity and employment. Of course, all other racial groups in US are getting battered by job loss, too, but they are expected to find solace in their whiteness, Asian-ness, Hispanic-ness, et cetera.
Pretty clearly, the next move for black America is the demand for cash reparations for all their historical indignities. That’s the hustle-of the-last-resort. One can easily predict the fiasco it will lead to. A Democrat is elected in November and reparations are enacted by congress. They’ll come out with some figure, whatever tortured process it takes. They’ll do it in the same fabled hundred days that they legislate trillions of dollars in other programs aimed at replacing lost private business with government dispensation… of everything… based on… what?
Well, not on the production of anything of value. Really just on more debt. The new crop of political leaders, like the old crop, will overlook the fact that the American economy blew up in 2020 because it had been running on debt, one way or another, for more than a decade, and we actually exceeded our ability to take on new debt. So, when the new administration borrows trillions more from itself, it will finally destroy the dollar. Within a few months, the value of reparations — whether $100,000 or $10 million per individual — will run to zero. The joke will be on everybody. Except guess what. It will be no joke.

Wasn’t there a charismatic Black freedman preacher who led a congregation of freed slaves post-Civil War out to the “Promised Land” in Northern Texas/ Oklahoma into Comanche territory and then he and his followers were promptly scalped or raped and taken prisoner? The only Bible that the black slaves could read was the Bible. The black slaves thought that Lincoln was “Moses”, and eventually Lincoln came to believe it. Go figure…. How did Moses die? Did a Confederate sneak up behind Moses and blow his brains out a week after the Bankers pulled his Pinkerton security guards? I wonder what Lincoln did to piss off the Bankers? Maybe Lincoln was threatening to pay off the war bond debt to the British bankers with inflated greenbacks rather than in gold? The first major act of President Grant was to commit to paying the London bankers back in gold against the advice of his advisors. Grant’s decision pushed the US economy into a deep depression. Who’s your Daddy?!
I’ve never heard that story about the black freedmen and the Comanches. I’d like to know more if it’s true. Does any body have a name of the incident or the preacher I could Google?
I’ve always heard that the Comanches hated the Blacks but have never found out why. In contrast, the Sioux admired the Black Union Cavalry, and called them “buffalo soldiers”.
Yes, we all know you read the Comanche news every day.
But I’m concerned that you are wondering why. Wasted friction and heat there. Some things you should worry about and some things through a personal evaluation of merit you should banish from your head for all time. You should get over it.
This woman says it best.

“The only Bible that the black slaves could read was the Bible.” WTF do you mean?
Good catch !
Many think the movement of slavery-abolishing worldwide has primarily been strengthened and accelerated by the mass use of fossil fuels.
The problem with fossil fuels they kill the natural future with over-organisation, rendering it a history before it’s even born – effectively making all humans slaves, in the process.
Humans cannot escape the Laws of Physics behind The Tragedy of the Commons – even when our Western Civilisation has killed the future and rendered it a history;

There is a special place in hell for George Soros.
This next election folks, isn’t a contest between competing ideas that will benefit America. It won’t be a contest between candidates or liberal or conservative stripes. It won’t be a contest between a bombastic, crude speaking man with an overly inflated ego, and a grandfatherly type who speaks in soft tones and politically correct platitudes.
It will be a contest between COMMUNISM and FREE MARKET ENTERPRISE.
If you’re a democrat and you vote for Biden, you are voting for communism. It’s that simple.
No, the battle is for national sovereignty or the new order envisioned by proponents of globalism. We are in the midst of yet another color revolution.
Everything else is a distraction, including the racial tensions that have been purposely dredged back up and fanned by the McMedia.
I can go along with that. It’s surely an ideological battle.
I fear that whatever the result in November, it won’t be accepted by either side. The democrats, the left, the communists, the legions of Soros, the Globalists, have naively engaged violence as a domestic tool of coercion, and the other shoe has yet to fall.
You may be right there. TBH, tho, if Trump loses, we are likely done, so it will not matter.
One more globalist corporatist puppet is all it will take to end the US as we know it.
Candace Owens – Twitter Feed.
“This isn’t about left or Right, Democrat vs. Republican anymore. This is “People that want to watch America burn” vs. People that do not.
That’s the only issue on the ballot this November:
More riots, looting, lockdowns & statue purges—or Donald Trump.
That’s your choice.”
———————–
Pete – I guess we’re not too far off the mark.
Well if the thread holding us up is one doddering, twittering old fool, then we are done in any case. It’s just a matter of when. Now or in four more years. Trump would have had to have been to absolutely extraordinary to pilot us through these shoals. As it is, he seems like fake opposition. Many have said the same of the last Czar: a fine man who could have ruled well in ordinary times but complete over-mastered by the times he faced.
To save us, Trump would have to declare martial law and then just cancel elections for the duration of the unending crisis, maybe passing it on to Don Jr or King Donald the Second. The Republic dies (as if it was really alive befre) but Long Live the Empire.
But he doesn’t even have the balls to take on the protesters.
It’s already ended, America as we knew it.
But it isn’t an ideological battle at all. The Democrats don’t have any ideology. They are freeloading off racial animus of blacks towards whites and the hopelessness of white young men. The GOP hasn’t had an ideological position in decades, just merely slowing the acceleration of class lawfare against working-class white America. White America has been called a cancer by much of the third-world. It’s true. Cancer can’t be beaten – neither can we. The problem is that the host – The United States is going to be destroyed in the fight. Oh well, bring it on.
Communism = Globalism
Free Market Enterprise = National Sovereignty
The Progressive Movement is after one thing, the destruction of the individual motivation model in the US. Collectivism is the model for Marxism. As long as the US succeeds over and over in being the economic King of the Mountain and having the military might to defend itself against the world, it poses a threat to the advancement of Communism. The Left will do anything to tear down this country to remove the impediment to their global control. The advancement of the Stupidification of our country has just about achieved the Left’s goal, as will be evidenced in November.
Stupidification = Socialization of demographics with illegal immigration plus the pollution of adolescent minds by the state funded university system.
Do the demographics of the US deserve the individual model any longer? Are folks interested in individual liberty and control outnumbered by the results of Stupidification?
Could be!
Those definitions do not line up.
Neoliberal globalism is corpratism, but on a global scale.
I hear you, but only some corporations.
To me, corporations are an anathema to the Marxist ideals of the globalists. Horrible private ownership. The Russians killed millions of private enterprisers in their agricultural areas when they nationalized the farms.
As shown many times, Russia being one, nationalizing private enterprise leads to government control of everything, ie Communism. A real warning sign of imminent Communistic uniparty control is the government take over of personal property.
Oh wait. Health care, university funding! It is already imminent!
A gift of your Democratic Party and its big sibling, the Deep State.
Dear John: The corporations are almost completely behind the Marxists. Both communism and capitalism (in its final or corporate stage) are globalist in nature. Thus they united to fight the philosophies of Nationalism as embodied in the Fascist and National Socialist states. Now they unite to finish the West off.
That’s corporatism, Night-not-wise-Owl.
Corporatism is inherently a global network and always has been.
RW
Corporatism, yes, and also with a neoliberal spin. Even Mussolini did not go that far.
Fair enough. State and corporate forces do most certainly appear to be merging.
My reply was to John, btw.
Pete,
As long as I’m still logged-in may I note to your perspective:
It matters not a damn who is the man in the White House.
It only matters who is the man in your house.

McCarthyism was dead in the 1950’s. It was a discredited even in its own time. We stopped looking for Commies hiding under our beds at about the same time Boogie Man vigilance ended.
Time to grow up and realize we of the Western democratic societies live in one form of Social Democracy or another. Free Enterprise is not the organizing principle, it is just one component.
Marxism is communism.
BLM’s stated ideology is Marxism. I’m sorry you don’t like my characterizing the current democrat movement as communism, I’m just responding to what they have already said.
Call it globalist if you like.
Yes the Democrats are pinko Commie bastards, but only the pinko Commie bastards really know how the masses think, Pete.
The Republicans only know how the right-wing thinks as they completely ignore the left when they attain majority every time.
Trump’s mandate was to step all over the left and abuse them for eight years with impunity like a crazed tyrant that can’t get enough victims to sate his palate.
Watch Trump absolutely go ballistic when he realizes he is yesterday’s man no longer wanted center stage just as Nixon was when he was summarily dismissed from office on a popularity contest loss of confidence of his voter base.
RW
RW
I disagree with you on one point.
Watching Trump, I think he has just about had it with the whole Washington, Deep State scene. He is used to getting results from business dealings and the DC credo is to make lots of noise and accomplish absolutely nothing. Trump thought he could make a change in a system ensconced for 200+ years. He was mistaken!
“Trump’s mandate was to step all over the left and abuse them for eight years with impunity like a crazed tyrant that can’t get enough victims to sate his palate.”
Do you think he fulfilled his mandate?
All I’ve seen for the past 4 years is one Democrat lead coup after another. I’ve seen people’s lives ruined by democrat lead false prosecutions. I’ve see a disingenuous impeachment attempt that ignored the idea of fair play. And I’m watching democrat lead thugs burn and destroy private property on their mission to cancel history.
Seems to me, the democrat lead ‘resistance’ has the mandate to step all over their opponent, and they are working hard at it.
The Democrats are feeding from the globalist trough, just like most of the Republicans.
What an absurd analysis.
Interesting discussion.
To me, Liberal is a word that means favoring change as a way to respond to social problems. Conservative means the opposite that maintaining the status quo is paramount . Both are right according to the situation.
Unmitigated change is catastrophic in all cases. Untested change leads to bad as well as good and a testing screen is required. Conservatism unbridled stops necessary adaptation to changing situation.
The answer like all things is balance between the two. Sorta like our Constitution that promotes necessary but discourages frivolous change. Uniparty control in the country is disastrous as we are seeing right now. There has not been a conservative administration since the first term of Reagan and our Democratic polluted government is the result. The balance has been thwarted by the RINO GOP which I say is the main cause of the political imbalance present today.
Moderate Democrats should feel this pressure as the radicalism of the Progressive movement negates their party just like the RINOs.
Interstate – Crumbling – Infrastructure rated a D- by civil engineers
Parks – paid for by entrance fees. Not Communist
Social Security – Bankrupt. Not a penny in the account.
Sanitation – private. I pay for it each and every month
Water – Flint Michigan
I think it is time for you to grow up and realize that Social Democracy is just another term for Communism and it always fails.
I think there is wrangling over words here more than real things.
BC-EE uses a loaded word — communist — guaranteed to excite a reaction based in real history. I doubt anyone present wishes a life under Stalin or Pol Pot or Mao, and I doubt that’s what BC-EE intends.
That there is a collective component to polities is an obvious fact made light of by Franklin’s observation that the only things guaranteed in life are death and taxes. Franklin was speaking from The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Commonwealth. Now there’s a word that deserves more circulation and consideration.
Our Western Civilisation and its engine of Economics needed ethical guidance on how to understand finite fossil fuels energy reserves – since the early days of James Watt.
A guidance like the ancient wisdom of the Middle East – “seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine“.

Drive on an Interstate? Communist
Haven’t for quite awhile, still have the same tank of gas as I did in late March.
Enjoy a stroll through the local park? Communist
No, have a nice tranquil piece of property a bit out of town, been busy in the garden though.
State or National Park? Communist
See above, plenty to do around the homestead without leaving. Always have maintenance to do, don’t have time for ‘strolls’ away from home.
Social Security? Communist
Not quite old enough yet but thank you very much.
Flush a toilet? Communist
We have two septic fields which I pay to maintain via ‘sweat equity’. Every repair a 60 year old septic tank that has terracotta tile for sewer lines? Comon’ by and I’ll show you. No help from any government entity either.
Drink water? Communist
Sure do, on a well that I maintain. And you pay heavily to defer maintenance. No 911 number for well repair.
And I am not a rare case.
I fail to see your point….
National Parkis in fact anti-communist. From the Communist Manifesto:
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands,
Basically, the Communists wanted all land to be employed, not left fallow.
Libertarians fail to see anything. Libertarianism is isolated cabins being attacked by Indians, burned, and the inhabitants raped and murdered.
There would be no America if people though like you do back then. We could have never taken this continent from the stone age Indians with this kind of crap head set.
Yes, by not appropriating socialism for ourselves, we’ve left it open to be appropriated by the globalists, Marxists, and even freak groups like BLM. German National Socialism? No, American National Socialism a la Jack London and Eugene Debs. As American as Apple Pie.
Right on brother. These folks are better off in the bunkers.
“There is a special place in hell for George Soros. ”
Pete,
Yes, sitting right next to Sheldon Addleson….
will be a contest between COMMUNISM and FREE MARKET ENTERPRISE.
Suggestion: read the book Zero to One, by Peter Thiel. It will help disabuse you of the idea that ANY entrepreneur is looking for “free enterprise.” What they are ALL seeking is monopoly; that’s what even the tiniest market niche is.
For FAR too many businesses, the monopoly they seek is created or enforced by the government. Just as, for example, Facebook, Twitter, and Google can get the benefits of being free of regulation because they’re not publishers, while they continue to act as publishers by censoring content. The government hobbles major publishers by holding them accountable for libel and slander.
If the contest becomes clear as one between crony capitalism and straightforward socialism, socialism will win.
So let me just ask you…
Do you defend what the democrats have done since 2016?
Do you defend what they are doing right now?
They will win in the end in any in four or in eight. As if they aren’t winning now!
Socialism is here. Why not do a jujitsu throw and claim for our own? Most people will be patriots if you give them the chance to be. The Mob wants to be taken care of and needs to be taken care of. So take care of them and THEN ask things of them. They will then happily give back.
The Upper Class is left alone. But no longer allowed to torment the People. The gifted who actually made their own fortunes are invited to participate. Any State needs gifted people and expertise. The rest are left in peace – with a tax increase.
I was thinking the same thing. Co-opt the co-opted movement.
I don’t disagree that socialism is what’s next, but it cannot be the socialism of Marx. To avoid the knee jerk reaction from the right, socialism, ‘American’ style MUST preserve private property and incentives to maintain the work ethic, etc…
I like options that expand the Job Corps, and I would support a full blown para-military implementation of such an organization.
The republic must get something for it’s socialist contract.
@pete
Then you wind up with Hitler youth, Obama youth or Trump youth brigades.
No thanks we have seen how that path leads.
Sure, FDR got a lot of things right. The Communists have the Liberals for co-opting them. Thus the Bernie worker who wanted to drag MSNBC reporters by their hair out into the street and set them on fire – as interviewed (secretly!) by Project Veritas.

He wanted them to feel the Bern.
For a time perhaps.
The lack of a profit motive inherent to socialistic systems condemn them to death eventually.
The only sustainable economic form includes opportunity for all peoples, a motive to advance, and a way to redistribute wealth to prevent monopolization. Controlled capitalism has all three.
Our system is losing all three. Socialization is death to all three.
Socialism includes capitalism. You admit it in your next to last line. Controlled Capitalism IS Socialism.
Or Fascism. Take your pick. You have chosen rightly at last. We can now find the name that soothes you since that seems to be important to you.
Japan has a board that oversees their Corporations. They never called themselves either Socialist or Fascist after the War – but they never adopted Western Capitalism in toto. Far too wise to do something so stupid and destructive. And far too wise to admit that they didn’t.
“For FAR too many businesses, the monopoly they seek is created or enforced by the government.”
Fascism Lite, same oppression fewer calories.
It’s good to know free market enterprise is returning. I haven’t seen that in my adult lifetime. I am nearly 65 years old. Who is the free market candidate?
KDFP
(everybodies candidate)
Hey Pete, I’ve got news for you. As soon as the phrase “Too Big to Fail” became the new big business mantra in your Country, the USA stopped being even remotely a “Free Market” economy.
Promoted and cheered on by that bastion of the Free Market, the GOP (given that it was their corporate masters who would benefit the most) then meekly waved through by the Democrats who, let’s face it, are beholden to exactly the same folks, Socialism moved in, shifted the furniture and even changed the curtains.
Yes, Socialism – The idea that the Collective (ie: the taxpayer) provides for everyone… Except in this case, it was the taxpayer bailing out the wealthy, while their own wages and conditions went backwards. The Banksters (who largely precipitated the Global Financial Crisis) didn’t even miss a bonus.
From my perspective (here in Australia) neither Mr Trump nor Mr Biden are going to change this in any way. Bernie Sanders MIGHT have, had he not been nobbled by his own Party (although every “revolutionary” Candidate talks a good game before they actually get the gig – Just as Mr Obama). The only difference between them is that Mr Biden does seem to realise that his Country IS part of a GLOBAL system, and would go out of his way to begin restoring America’s reputation. In short, I think there is far less chance of him starting World War Three – which I firmly believe Mr Trump is stupid enough to be led into by those who believe it would serve their ends. Like I said – Purely my perspective. I (and I suspect most Aussies) have no desire to dragged into another War.
Here’s hoping Mr Biden chooses a great Running Mate – Someone who will give Bernie’s supporters a reason not to stay home on Polling Day.
Have a nice day, mate.
Except Mr. Trump has not started any new hostilities nor even hinted at them.
The Democrat media is how ever trying very hard to get one going.
As far as intellect goes how would you know all you see is anti-Trump rhetoric.
I was talking to a big finance bloke the other day. Apparently, the local governments in the US are going to start blowing up financially because of the collapse in local tax revenue unless the US Federal government steps in to bail them out. I wonder if these local governments have any assets such as land that they’ll be forced to sell cheaply? I’d like to buy a nice cave….
I read that they’re starting to turn the cheap 2 and 3 star hotels into “affordable housing” for homeless people. Some of those cheap hotels offer complimentary all-you-can-eat waffle breakfasts and free HBO.
You can have your cave. I’ll see if I can buy at auction a few acres out West on Gold Medal Trout Stream.
Neanderthals are smarter than mere Homo Sapiens. The vandals and goths will pillage homes and fields. The hordes will be taking, not creating. Let them come to the cave though, and they will meet more than their match. Plus caves are dark and quiet places where one can achieve zen.
Yes, and cool in summer and warm in winter. Unlike mobile homes or underneath bridges.
If you are watching things, you will realize that the “new cave” may be the recreational vehicle. Sales and rentals are skyrocketing as folks are trying to leave the virus saturated domain of the city and suburb for the Open Spaces. Only to find out the Open Spaces are becoming No Vacancy zones.
We should all be thankful for our gracious host and his warnings. I heeded his warning and took his advice a few years ago and decamped for a quiet small town off the beaten path.
Any who haven’t been so fortunate and is still in a major metro, well, best of luck to you all. I doubt the troubles will get any easier once the dollar loses magical reserve currency status and the river of energy that feeds the system slows to a trickle accordingly.
I’d not want to be anywhere near a diverse and vibrant hub of commerce when the engine seizes up entirely. I’d not want to be there now, considering the check engine and oil lights are both on and there’s a strange smoke rising from under the hood.
Exactly right. When the level of public debt in this country is expanded to include state and local it the figure is eye popping. What is coming is a huge and hard reset. Don’t really prescribe the the way JHK describes the long emergency. I tend to think society makes it through fine. But a lot of of people will get hurt in this decade.
I think the Democrats are too soft-headed, the Republicans too hard-headed and those of us in the middle, too muddle-headed to put the Nation back on track. Future historians may see 2020, under all the the rubble, as marking the finale of Western civilization. The writers, of course, will be Mandarin speakers.
Jimmy Rogers once said on CNBC, something to the effect of ‘ if you want to prepare your kids for the future, teach them mandarin, so they can be good waiters and waitresses for their chinese masters.’
He has not, to my knowledge, been asked back on, and that was at least 5 years ago. Wonder why? 🙂
We were talking and writing papers about this stuff back when I was a freshman poli. sci. major in 1996-97.
Ivanka Trump’s kiddies both write and speak Mandarin and have conversed with President XI.
This is my observation as well. Both extremes are wagging the proverbial dog. The middle has no voice, in either camp.
Early in the primaries I was leaning towards Tulsi for her anti-regime-change-war posture, but when Hillary came out an painted her as a Russian asset who would try to create a third party and wreck it (again) for her, she lost steam.
The middle is where the solution can be found. That big 2/3 majority under the normal distribution where a dialog can be had. That’s where hope lies.
But just like 2016 we don’t have that choice, so we need to cast our vote for the one who will do the least damage to our republic. And like 2016, the only candidate who will do that is Trump.
The lying and cheating and overt disregard for our constitution and our values expressed through the actions of the democrat’s leaders and allies, are appalling. There’s no way I could hold my nose and vote democrat.
Tulsi eventually endorsed Biden. What’s next? Photo-ops with a smiling Kamala?
Indeed. She was interesting initially, but it became rapidly apparent that she was nothing more than another status-quo Dem.
The real left is dead in this country.
Same here.
One realizes a sea change is happening when Leo Terrell, the Los Angeles based Civil Rights attorney and a decades long “liberal “Democrat, (who also happens to be Black) is on with Sean Hannity begging ALL Democrats to leave the party due to the rampant and unceasing corruption we have seen in the past decades but that has reached a fever pitch with the TDSers losing their SHIT since Trump was elected.
Leo Terrell, along with the rest of America have witnessed the illegal spying against the Trump campaign and into his presidency, the false charges of Russia hacking the DNC and giving the goods to Wikileaks, the bullshit Mueller investigation into Russia, Russia, Russia, the fake impeachment proceedings and blaming Trump for Covid 19 and the resultant economic collapse. The latest is the new Russian scandal where Russia “allegedly” paid bounties to The Taliban to kill US service members in Afghanistan. But now witnesses are going out and saying this was going on under Obama in 2014!
This intell group is lying and the other speaks the truth.
In the meantime we are still waiting for the final report from Barr and Durham regarding recommended criminal prosecutions against Comey, Strzok, Page, Rice, Brennan and others for the entrapment of Michael Flynn, Carter Page and many others and for the spying.
Trump will need a juicy October Surprise to take the wind out of Biden’s sails, although I doubt he knows he is on a boat. Maybe Biden thinks he is just in his nice tub playing with his rubber duck and fantasizing about his glory days as his “handlers” will guide him along. Until the time comes where he goes off the reservation and starts talking about kicking The Bad Dude Korn Pops Ass with a chain back in the day while he was a lifeguard listening to his record player, and the little ones liked sitting on his lap and playing with the blonde hair on his legs.”
Exactly. The term “privilege” has got to be put in the trashcan, but if the media is going to keep harping on “privilege” shouldn’t the term be “White/Asian Privilege” as opposed to “White Privilege”? My god, the amount of wealth that is concentrated in the Asian community here in Los Angeles (and elsewhere) is astounding. Ivy League enrollments are now something like 40% Asian. And some of the biggest racists I’ve known have been Chinese. My ex-boss and his friends were constantly talking about “the superiority of the Asian mind”. Nicholas Kristoff had an editorial in Sunday’s NYT titled “Learning From Hispanic Americans”. He went on about how Latinx are “models of society”. OK, well, isn’t being bilingual, having a strong cultural identity, a strong ethnic identity, a strong religious identity, strong family ties, strong community ties and a strong migrant temperament—isn’t all of that a from of “privilege”? Black and most white people don’t have ANY of those assets. Stop with the fucking “white privilege” meme already.
I would tend to agree with you since we live in a society that openly and quite vocally values and appreciates foreign non-citizens above its own citizenry. The reality is if privilege was removed from the current ruling class we may have at least a chance of survival. But while that ruling class is incentivizing citizens to fight over their own perceived privileges, the ruling class is steadily and most certainly accumulating more “privilege”.
It’s a complicated and tricky word. And of course a pejorative in our Democratic society to being with That negative feeling has been expanded to infinity and there is no discussing it rationally. Weaponized in other words.
As if any of the marchers wouldn’t accept an inheritance or cash in a lottery ticket. They would then be “privileged” by fate and an enemy to their previous comrades.
Just one problem with this idea. China has made itself an export based economy, selling goods to , you guessed it, the USA and the Western World. China’s wealth is not in its people but in its State. When the Western World goes down, so will China.
The basics of Economics101 are being ignored today.
China has a growing middle class and has a growing consumer culture within its borders. It’s been growing exponentially the past decade but of course all of that is questionable now…
If only we could harness the People’s insanity and then via creative chemistry convert the lunacy into a cheap, plentiful source of energy….
Puck,
Yes! And we should train more lawyers, considering they are a good source of protein….
Soylent Green!
Insanity is harnessed via elections every four years, Puck. They then convert the voter insanity into spendable tax dollars via USD & US Treasury notes redeemable at your local bank for real American dollars USD.
Works like a charm every four years, Puck.
Cha-ching!!!!

JK; your financial analysis is spot on. The reality is that in fall 2019 the fed was pumping REPOs into the system at massive daily amounts. The $ system was blowing up then. Now, in the name of COVID, we add 7tril$ to the system, mainly to zombie banks, and we made the immediate debt worse by about 33%, worsening the TOTAL dept of the US Corporation to something well over 167Trillion$s (no one really knows but it’s over that amount). This will NEVER be repaid and all but Elizabeth Warren (whose WSJ article argued for borrowing more $ to ‘pay for the debt’) know this. We will see all dollar denominated ‘investments,’ and govmint payouts go to zero in REAL VALUE (i.e. buying power), but not labeled amount. Weimar we are coming!!!!
Faith
The fabric of holding the whole mess together.
Faith that the dollar represents a measure of human investment, ie labor.
When either the buyer or the seller loses faith in the exchange medium, the dollar will collapse, along with all other mediums world wide.
Why the dollar as the center medium?
Because we are the consumer marketplace for the world. When Marxism destroys that market, which they are doing, the World goes with it. So the advancement of Marxism sows the seeds of its own demise. Nice!
“ It’s pretty obvious that the uproars of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and its Antifa allies are to some degree centrally organized. They have access to plenty of cash, thanks to funding from George Soros’s Open Society Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and an array of showbiz-oriented corporate supporters. ”
The multifarious Chinese Cultural Revolution Red Guard organizations were manipulated from above for reasons of expediency and skullduggery.
If Trump followed the Maoist playbook, then he’d have his own sponsored BLM groups to fight with the Soros BLM groups. The winners get free waffles and free HBO. Black Lives Matter!
oh Puck, what does USAs future look like?
“Black Lives Matter” – Only a very vacuous, low IQ society could organize around such a content empty slogan akin to Nike’s “Just Do It!”, or McDonald’s “I’m Love’n It!”, or The Confederate Colonel’s “Finger Lick’n Good!”.
A very small book that was a best seller–DONT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. [and pricey, considering how small it is].
The book is a joke, if you really read it carefully.
I have said this before, but it is beyond parody to watch a corporate backed “resistance” movement attempt to convince people that they have credibility. The fact that they are so self-unaware is comedy of the highest order.
The McResistance.
True. And clearly black lives do not matter since black toddlers and children are routinely being killed in drive by shootings perpetrated by black men and not a word really is spoken. Black lives only matter when being used to destroy white lives.
SSL,
Consider that the Blacks, and their intense racial animus, are currently being weaponized. This is the end-game in our struggle to maintain our civil culture. We will not persevere. The Barbarians have breached the gates, and with the complicity of various national entities, will remain unchecked.
Coming to a neighborhood near you….
I believe you are right. It’s only a matter of time at this point.
A visual indication of Stupidification!
Yes, I think it was invented by an ad agency, and not the Blacks themselves. It works by utterly confusing people in its simplicity and putting them on the defensive. Itz ok to be white is a good counter. That infuriates the enemy because the whole point of BLM is to criminalize Whites and get them to accept their inferior moral status.
Actually, “it’s OK to be White” won’t work either. That raging Cambridge prof just declared that “White Lives Don’t Matter!”, and not only did Cambridge not fire her, they stood behind her in an official statement, and advanced her to full professorship. Evil wokesters are encouraged at every turn.
Yeah… Dumb, vacuous, Kind of like “Make America Great Again”, plastered on hats worn by exactly the kind of folks whose hero has always treated with utter contempt.
I like the response from a European website:
More idiocy from the land of morons formerly known as the United States.
Yep. In the 60’s, white liberals thought that they could shower blacks with Head Start and affirmative action and desegregation and welfare, and blacks would steadily join the rest of american society. They did not, the socio-economic gap did not close, in fact arguably the portion of blacks living in inner cities is in worse shape than ever. Liberals did everything according to the leftist handbook and it just made matters worse. That fact is what is driving them increasingly shrill and unhinged.
The fact that democrat black mayors in democrat cities in democrat states have been trying democrat policies for decades and things just keep getting worse does not trouble them in the least. As good ideologues having to face the failure of their ideology do, they bravely decided that if the ideology failed, the solution is to double down with more ideology, denounce the saboteurs, traitors and counterrevolutionaries, send them to reeducation camps, hold public humiliation rituals.
Racial animosity is getting worryingly higher. This will not end well.
And it comes as no surprise or does it? History shows that all multi-racial and multi-cultural societies break apart and dissolve because of those very differences. Perhaps the arrogance of believing our society would somehow be different is the true problem. BLM wants black separatism. White nationalists want separatism. However, the ones who are making great profits and wealth off of our disunified and traumatized society laugh as they get richer. The humane approach would be to allow the tribes to live in peace in their own territories. The ruling class is not humane nor do they value life if it is not theirs’.
SSL
Agreed.
The problem is how to make the split. The different ethnic groups are separated along wealth lines now. There is no separate geographic area, like a state or a region, that is one group or another. How to slice the pie?
Think of India during the Ghandi times. Hindus and Muslims could not coexist so they separated into two , now three, countries. They have been fighting ever since. The India-Pakistan border may be showing us that separation does not work either.
Say the US split with a Black part, a White part, A Hispanic part and an Asian part. We know what will happen with the flow of wealth. As one area gets richer, the neighbors will try to take away the wealth by force. Think Israel and Palestine.
It IS the human condition. It makes War the favorite human activity.
Haves and Have nots are what makes the world go around, always has been that way, always will.
Oh absolutely! It is not as if a breakup would per se prevent war. However, I do believe that ultimately and likely over time, such a situation would see a decrease in violence and conflict. India and Pakistan have always had their conflicts. Could this new conflict with China however unite India and Pakistan since China represents a threat to both? But either way, separation doesn’t mean war ends altogether. Nor does it mean that class issues will suddenly go away. But, many other aggravating factors will be taken off the table and I believe will make it better for everyone. Unfortunately the elites will not allow this to happen without a huge war. They will not allow it to happen peacefully.
Diversity is not a strength. It’s a noble idea, but it is not a strength. People are comfortable around their own kind. It’s Psychology 101. Diversity to countries Balkanizing. It’s an ou-group bias thing. Human nature. I don’t think “equality” exists either. There are always going to be families that have more wealth and people who are more intelligent or gifted no matter what their skin color is. It’s a harsh world. The most you can hope for is respect and compassion.
Diversity leads to countries Balkanizing I meant.
Does BLM want separatism? I haven’t heard that they do. I think they want to rule us as much as we ruled them.
Louis Farakahn wants separatism and is the real Leader of Black America in my book.
Thwack wants BLM to rule us too, disguising it by saying that race doesn’t exist. And the White Eloi go along with such piffle.
Thwack wants BLM to rule – Sredni
==========
Where is Thwack anyway? Taking a break or banned?
I would think he’s involved in the festivities. He seemed pretty ebullient last time he checked in. But no real change. I always knew he wanted revenge and dominance not peace.
The Hustle is on for the Great USSA Magical Misdirection of 2020
From the movie, The Prestige (2006) Michael Cain as Cutter:
“Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts.
The first part is called “The Pledge”.
The magician (hustler) shows you something ordinary:
a deck of cards, a bird or a man.
He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course… it probably isn’t.
The second act is called “The Turn”.
The magician (hustler) takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary.
Now you’re looking for the secret… but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking.
You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled.
But you wouldn’t clap yet.
Because making something disappear isn’t enough;
you have to bring it back.
That’s why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part,
the part we call “The Prestige”
Clusterfuck Nation wants to be fooled, “because of course it’s not really looking……”
BLM is a Misdirection Hustle
The VAST majority of murders and shootings in USSA cities is black on black violence.
How inconvenient a Truth
The early 1960’s racial situation is The Pledge
The Voting Rights Act was meant to make it ‘disappear’: The Turn
The sheepeople of the USSA didn’t really want to know that it didn’t ‘disappear’, they didn’t want to even look.
Mission Accomplished
Fifty some odd years later, after spending Trillions in welfare and affirmative action and Ebonics nonsense, the racial situation reappears ‘like magic’
The Prestige
The Hustle is has come full circle.
Have you read “The Fourth Turning”?
Yes, Victimization=Heroism=Nobility=Right to Rule the victimizers who are just as evil, vicious, and cowardly as the Black are good, heroic, and wise.
Resist folks. You won’t like living under the yoke of such as these.
The biggest criminal hustle are the mafiosi sitting at the helm of the gov mafia enterprise. Characters like Cuomo and DeBlasio killed and destroyed more lives and businesses than their BLM subsidiary and false flag agents could ever dream of. Of-course they had help from the other government mafia criminals and mass murderers like Vatican CIA Fascist Fauci. They all work together according to script. Nothing happens by accident.
” Nothing happens by accident.”
Mofo,
You know that is not necessarily an accurate statement. Consider Trump’s election. Consider any of your landsmen who were in the Towers when they came down. Consider the Attack on the USS Liberty.
All terrible, terrible accidents.
Trumps election was not accidental. He won it in a hard and brilliant and very calculating way.
The Towers were brought down by the Vatican CIA mafia. They have no connection to my “landsmen”.
The USS Liberty was staged and ordered sunk by Lyndon Johnson. He wanted that Vatican CIA Nazi spy ship at the bottom of the sea. He simply didn’t get his wish.
And the Israeli planes? What role did they play?
Israel was told by Lyndon Johnson that all US ships were moved to 150km of Israeli shores. Israeli commanders acted accordingly.
So they didn’t know? The huge US Flag the Liberty was flying says otherwise.
By law, every maritime vessel has every country’s flag on board. Flags are meaningless. Israeli pilots thought it looked like an Egyptian vessels they knew, and tried to disable it off the Gaza coast before it got to Israel. When it didn’t head back to Egypt they tried to hit again. In retrospect, it probably would have better to have sunk it and be rid of them Vatican Nazi CIA spies.
That maybe true for commercial ships, but the Liberty was no commercial ship. What Israel did was an act of war. Johnson heard about the attack and said, I don’t want to embarrass ally – let them sink it. His attitude is utterly inexplicable as an American what to speak of an American President. An extraordinary traitor.
The USS Liberty incident has transcripts of what the pilots said and saw.
https://www.nsa.gov/news-features/declassified-documents/uss-liberty/recordings/
What is not said is the desire to attack Egypt at the time.
Saw this article the other day:
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/census-shows-white-decline-nonwhite-majority-among-youngest-americans-n1232094
Any guesses as to whether certain demographics will be more likely to make it through the bottleneck? Feeling guilty for having brought our 7 year old son into this world.
Guilty? Well no wonder we are doomed with attitudes like this. He will feel guilty too and bow down, right? Or will you have the courage to tell him to Stand and that his heritage is second to none?
I don’t feel guilty for being white at all. I feel guilty for bringing him into a world where he likely faces suffering as people compete to get through the population bottleneck. White people are already becoming a minority before the winnowing even gets started.
Ok, but remember: We’re still the largest group by far. Get to a red state. Whites can make a stand there. The culture is often pretty thin but we can make it better as long as ego is kept in check. And they have plenty to teach us as well.
We have to get our minds right. Get rid of ideas of multi this and multi that – they were always doomed to fail. And the disaster of hper-individualism has to go as well. Freedom begins between the ears. But it must extend to the heart as well.
More important than raw numbers is the distribution. Ruralia is largely White or Hispanic, depending on region, and ruralites are far more likely to survive an extended collapse of the imperial supply chain than the urban dwellers.
Some decades hence, if hard times are ahead, the majority of Black Americans extant may very well be the ones who never left the black belt.
Regardless, I cannot see a future where the lower 48 remain a single Union should too many more cracks appear in the support beams.
I look at it a little differently. Western Civilization has always thrived when challenged. There have been existential crises from the beginning (the two most notable are those resolved by the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC and the Battle of Tours in 732 AD but there have been others… including the situation we’re in now). I think whites have gotten very complacent and taken for granted the remarkable culture bequeathed to them. The glutton doesn’t appreciate food until it starts to become a little scarce and I believe a similar dynamic is underway.
I say all the following as a parent who walks this walk: Teach your son the endless inventions and innovations of his culture. Teach him biological realities. Teach him historical realities. Teach him the pride that has existed since the beginning of time of a people for its culture. Do not assume the fifth column that much of American education has become will do this. Be courageous in expressing your views-the charge of racism without any evidence of racism is simply an attempt to silence, nothing more, and the Christopher Hitchen’s dictum applies: an argument presented without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
One thing these monsters in the streets have done is to put the battle lines in pretty stark contrast and that’s a very good thing. Those who might previously have straddled the fence can clearly see what’s at stake. There’s no halfway position in this fight.
Thank you King of Comedy. Seeing the statues of white men being dragged down the street of my city by a rope around the neck and then hung from a lamp pole by a rope is alarming.
Excellent article today and I agree with all of it, including the next Democrat held electoral win at the polls come election time. Moreover, I agree that BLM is a Colour Revolution funded by the left controlled oligopoly & oligarchs like Soros.
I have to agree that the whole political party apparatus is corrupt to the core whereby one opts for the devil the know as opposed to the one they don’t.
Lastly, I was listening to Short Wave Radio last night and the dolts de jour were claiming that the George Floyd murder was staged and that George Floyd was not really killed by police. I decided that I had heard enough SWR and turned the radio off to go to sleep knowing that real ignorant hillbillies are dashing for conspiracy as their saviour for 2020.
Jesus wept I’m sure.
RW
In other words, you will go far but not far enough. You acknowledge that all of the rioting and looting are part and parcel of a very planned and orchestrated color revolution. You then however, dismiss that the exact spark that initiated the color revolution was not a hoax. I am not suggesting it is a hoax. But why could it NOT be a hoax? How do you know who is really dead or alive. Did/do you personally know George Floyd? Did/do you personally know Derek Chauvin? Do you believe everything you see on tv? Just saying. If so many things can very easily be deep faked, why not this? It sounds like the hillbillies may be more open minded than you are Robert.
‘Nature abhors a vacuum.’ See Bell Labs Systems Theorists like Pierce _Symbols, Signals, & Noise_ that was published back in the early 60s.
Rioting & looting is always the preferred blow off steam valve for USA society. The hillbillies have their right-wing survivalist gun toting rural white dude anti-social activists and so too does the left in the cities where mostly black culture resides in the overpopulated mire of inequality.
Today I received the latest Washington Post article from Larry Summers where he talks of increasing unionized worker salary and benefits in order to quell rioting. If Summers is advocating for renewed legislation to undergird unionized employment and strength for Front Line Workers throughout the pandemic of COVID-19 you can bet your bottom dollar USD that that is what is going to manifest in due course for policy in 2021 as Democrats attempt to stop the unruly masses of demonstrators from rebellion.
I, on the other hand, will always be a rebel without a cause, but a rebel none-the-less because I was a Punk Rock drummer back in my formative years of delinquency at the height of rebellion in the late 70s Punk scene where we were all Ramones till the day we die.
RW
I was a Punk Rock drummer – RW
===========
You seem like the unlikeliest Punk Rock drummer EVER.
The Ottawa Police Department didn’t think so when they dispatched squad cars to our studio to ask us to shut the Hell up every Saturday, Q.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police asked us to shut up, and go home as well when we played an outdoor gig on Federal Government of CANADA land at the Vincent Massey Park Band Shell in 1979.
I only seem like an unlikely Punk Rock drummer because that was another life before I realized being a Grumpy Marxist was more fun that being a Punk Rock drummer.
Stirring up shit takes real education these days as merely having double Marshall stacks and 100 Watt amplifiers is not enough to cause anarchy whereas in my day back during the height of the Punk Rock era we played with police departments and personnel with Watts instead of foolish anarchy which would have landed us in the klink without even a drink.
Rebellion is my nature because I was ordered to stay out of trouble by my Chartered Accountant father for my entire lifetime. That means I cannot break the laws of the land, but if I’m smart I can still stir up shit for shit-storm purposes, Q.
Stirring up shit storms is FUN stuff as long as you don’t get in trouble.
RW
I only seem like an unlikely Punk Rock drummer because.. – RW
============
I was an unlikely pool player of some local note. Two guys at the bar had a paper open in front of them and were disputing a word. They called me over and asked “how do you pronounce this word. The word was facade. I said “fuh-sod.” One guy was crest fallen, the other said “seeeee.”
The Kanukistani gov sponsors their “artists”. The whole point of it all is to sponsor Roman cultural degeneracy. Bubby, you was always a satanic commie degenerate, you just was too young and too stupid to fully comprehend it.
Punk Rock is not considered to be art in CANUCKISTAN, akmofo. Yes the CANUCKISTAN Government sponsors artists that pander to government. Back in 1979 smoking marijuana was illegal and CANUCKISTAN bureaucrats excommunicated the pot heads in Punk Rock to the netherworlds of unemployment to become Marxian Socialists through a long process of indoctrination & inculcation of ideas best left to out-of-the-box thinkers like moi.
RW
I don’t follow, Bubby. Youz not a card carrying KanukiCommieStani member of the British Crown and its Crown Corporations, like the Bank of Canada? Where did the indoctrination & inculcation fail? Seems it was very successful, to me eyes.
I’m part of the establishment in so far as my Civil Servant father raised me to think & act like a Civil Servant so that I too would be serving the halls of power and their goals for control over society.
If my country calls on me to serve I am by familial influence obliged to answer the call just as my father did, and brought me up to be of similar character.
MY CA father always knew I was a radical like my poet mother so he placed conditions on my existence so that I lacked avenues to falter in the long term.
He did say that I could have an opinion.
Dad was truly benevolent don’t you think?
RW
A list of things that never happened in RW’s life:
“Double Marshall stacks” in a punk band
“Ovation guitars” used in a punk band
“I remote viewed the Trump pee tapes”
Handle these powerful truths with care.
I have BETAMAX tape of my punk band playing the first simulcast for Ottawa Cablevision on Richmond Road and Carleton University’s CKCU Radio FM Network where my band and CKCU/Ottawa Cablevision did the first simulcast in stereo via CKCU FM Radio and Ottawa Cablevision television.
The program was entitled ‘No one came’ and it was an Ottawa cable television show that enlisted local bands to play for an hour whilst being interviewed by the local cheesy newscaster that eventually wound up being fired from network cartel television because he refused to cover the Iraq War thinking he would not survive it if embedded with anyone other than Almighty instead of the PBR Streetgang if you get my Apocalypse Now reference to military.
I have pictures of me & bandmates renting a limo, and government records would indicate that the Friction City Bugs played the Vincent Massey Bandshell on April 27 Saturday 1979 where the Government of CANADA had to supply the bandshell with 220v Electrical Service and requisite policing for the event.
We paid Wall of Sound’s Terry Wall for the 10,000 Watts of amplification, and Neptune Analyzer, Base Bins, Mid Bins, Horns, Tweeters, and Relays, plus mics & stands & monitors too. And that damn sound man had to be there because we had to pay him too, Night but not smart Owl. The park & Arboretum sound measurement was done with the Neptune Analyzer at that time in history. Today, things are different in that rock bands are pushing one million Watts instead of the mere 10,000 I was playing with back in 1979.
P.S. I bought my socks at the dollar store. I never mentioned Ovation Guitars but we did have a second act musician with an Ovation guitar for the half time show where my band took a beer, smoke, and reefer break to admire the crowd and shiny police cars provided for free by the government.
Free electricity.
Free policing.
Free band shell.
Free parking.
There was a $35 dollar permit that we had to pay for too in order to get the band shell booked.
If you check out Kijiji Ottawa you will see that I’m selling my last Slingerland Radio King snare for $1100.00 CDN.
Do you want a rare collectors Slingerland Radio King snare drum, NightOwl?
My old band mates still have all the old memorabilia associated with our old Punk Rock days. Recordings still exist too. Even BETAMAX Tape exists of my band.
You are no Remote Viewer, BuckO.
RW
June 27th 1979, sorry.
RW
We had McCauley Lenses for horns too, Nightsoil. That’s JBL horns if you don’t know sound, and the McCauley name for sound, eh.
The Neptune Analyser was the EQ.
RW
Beyond parody.
Not all punks are anarchists and vice-versa, and anarchy ‘over here’ is lateral hierarchy as opposed to ‘stirring shit up’.
I imagine many punks have sold out time and again to the status-quo.
One automatically gets retired from Punk Rock when one turns 20. After that it is pretence and a façade just as Q characterized inappropriately for myself at the age of 60 reminiscing about when I was a kid [lifetimes ago] at 19 in 79.
The façade of denial of my eight years playing Punk Rock & R&R, plus Blues, & Jazz is not part of my character. I’m an artist at heart due to music, and drums/percussion & Gene Krupa who was Benny Goodman’s drummer of infamy in that he was the pot-head drummer in his day that had to take career hits for being a jazz man pot-head criticized widely for his reefers & concomitant ‘Reefer Madness’.
Krupa was a Punk Rocker of his day too.
P.S. I forgot to add Butterfly Bins to my list of bins above. And I meant Crossovers where I wrote Relays. I forgot they were called Crossovers instead of ‘relays’ which is an automotive term NOT a soundstage term.
RW
Bob always goes in big circle. He thinks we are living on stolen land. So why doesn’t he leave? This he will never answer. And if America belongs to the Indians, then the Blacks have to go too. Outrage!
Hermaneutics is great stuff, Sredni ‘ferret God’ Vashtar. The cycle of life is a big circle too. Furthermore, Her Majesty Parasite Queen Elizabeth II owns the land holdings and the ‘Indians’ are a colonized aboriginal people with no means of enforcing sanctions on Her Majesty Parasite Queen Elizabeth II and her progeny, or ilk.
Empire owns CANUCKISTAN, man.
P.S. I can’t leave CANADA because I’m too intelligent and that loss for Canada would be a security risk since the world has gone to Hell in a hand basket. My country needs me now, eh.
What is a good Valley hoser to do?
RW
Your country?
It needs you?
Needs you for what?
Morally speaking, you don’t feel or think you have the right to be there. Thus all your “help” will be destructive since you think your people are evil for even being in Canada. Liberals are blighted and want to extend their blight onto the healthy.
Morally speaking I would appreciate it if my government would provide First Nations with clean potable water and build the required infrastructure for them to have septic systems that don’t create biohazard for their existence. Furthermore, First Nations also need appropriate housing that does not produce mold in dosages of toxicity that exacerbate aboriginal health en masse on reserves.
RW
The “First Nations” want you to back to Europe. You can be a slave over in England to Muslims – so don’t worry.
@akmofo
Your country?

Needs you for what?

Say ‘what’ again. Say ‘what’ again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn time!
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Canada is rapidly devolving into a Leftist hell realm:
Cancelations already are happening too fast to track. In a phenomenon that will be familiar to students of Russian history, accusers are beginning to appear alongside the accused. Three years ago a popular Canadian writer named Hal Niedzviecki was denounced for expressing the opinion that “anyone, anywhere, should be encouraged to imagine other peoples, other cultures, other identities.” He reportedly was forced out of the Writer’s Union of Canada for the crime of “cultural appropriation,” and denounced as a racist by many, including a poet named Gwen Benaway. The latter said Niedzviecki “doesn’t see the humanity of indigenous peoples.” Last week, Benaway herself was denounced on Twitter for failing to provide proof that she was Indigenous.
from On White Fragility, by Matt Taibbi.
SV: He also relates how teenagers are now studying each other’s twitter feeds, hoping to destroy their rivals with evidence of racism. One kid explained, I don’t want people like that growing up to be doctors and shit.
Is there a reason Brooklyn and the Bronx now look and feel like Eurabia and French Jihadistan? Of course there is. The common denominator is always the same, ROME.
Many Jews have had enough. They are packing and leaving. They rightly see this as the 1930s repeating. That was also an all Vatican scripted epoch. The Vatican gov mafia is allowing mass criminal mayhem, and is harassing innocent citizens with outrageous illegal infringements on their God given Constitutional Rights.
The Vatican Feudal Dark Ages are slowly being presented to take centre stage. I know some people have an “allergy to conspiracies”, but one thing should be clear, the narrative presented by the government mafia MSM propaganda outlets is never the true narrative. How come the Vatican gov mafia sponsored Farrakhan is being given centre stage on CIA MSM controlled opposition FoxNews? How come, because they are all the same, that’s how come. Controlled opposition, in a fake and scripted dialectic. The true narratives and agendas are always concealed. To understand the true narratives and agendas you have to know and understand the thread of history. THE WAR ON THE JEWS. THE WAR ON THE HEBREW GOD. Something they don’t only NOT teach you at Vatican mafia controlled schools and universities, rather they actively deny and conceal it because they actively sponsor and partake in this satanic WAR.
Yeah, Yul Brenner (race?) as Pharaoh in the Ten Commandments, “Their God is God.”!
Is that what you want? All of us to take a knee to you? As if a particular can ever be the Universal in and of itself.
Isn’t that just what the Christians did with their forced conversions? And the Muslims as well?
I want your SATANIC ROMAN WARS to end. I want you stop with and renounce your replacement theology replacement culture and replacement politics. I want all your Jihadi institutions declared bankrupt and be gone.
“Is there a reason Brooklyn and the Bronx now look and feel like Eurabia and French Jihadistan?”
I grew up in the Bronx , from the 60’s thru the late 70’s. and spent my entire adult life working there. The Bronx now has a white population in the low single digits, with most of those being Albanians and a few Ukrainians. My parents, both being NYC public school teachers, knew what the deal was, so it was private schools for their kids. They sent me to a private school run by the Christian brothers off of the grand concourse near Yankee stadium until I was attacked one day by a group of the sainted demographic. That was in 1972, so things were going south even then. After that, it was private school in Westchester. Interestingly, there was a kid in my class there in the Bronx, who I found out years later had his house bombed by the Weather underground ( specifically by Obama’s mentor Bill Ayres) because his father was a federal judge. After he danced out of court singing “Guilty as hell, free as a bird” , Ayres became of all things an educator. https://www.city-journal.org/html/bomber-school-reformer-10465.html during the last year of my teaching career in the Bronx, our administrators held a faculty conference one day where they were using one of Ayer’s articles on teaching as part of staff development. I got up and walked out. When my assistant principal demanded to know why, I said that I would be dammed if a fucking bomb thrower would tell me how to teach. By that time everyone knew I would be retiring, so there wasn’t anything anyone could do to me anyway, but nobody in the room had any idea who Ayers really was. The Bronx up until the mid 60’s was a paradise. My Grandmother had an apartment on the Grand concourse just north of Fordham road that had a fireplace and sunken living room. It was like Park Ave. in Manhattan. The Irish, Italians and Jews of the Bronx all became upper and middle class Americans within one generation, while those that occupy that space now are largely a multi-generational permanent underclass.
I stayed near Pelham Park. Walked around for 2 days. Felt completely safe. Not that many blacks there, if any. Mostly Italians and their shops. The population relatively young, with many middle class whites renters that have good jobs in Manhattan. I stayed with one such couple. It was a nice clean walkable neighborhood.
The gangland daylight shooting and executions the nighttime fireworks shooting the Jihadi crowd riot and arson attacks the nightly terrors with the police made deliberately absent are all tactics copied from Eurabia. They’re still perfecting them. People are being colonized and driven out. Everything they worked and saved for will be had at pennies on the dollar, and they’ll be glad to be out of there alive.
Mrs Green, I hope you’re listening. Your smiley faces will not save your ass. Glasgow is not that far.

‘Mrs Green’? I thought it was ‘bitch’. Are you getting soft?
You clearly haven’t read up on the Glasgow attack.
There was a real terrorist attack in Glasgow, though, back in 2007.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_Airport_attack
It was a bit of a clown show. Nobody died except one of the terrorists. One broken leg on the part of a plucky Glaswegian who kicked him in the groin.
Probably before your time.
Still, ‘Ahmed’ three doors along, who always gives me a nice smile, despite my hair being uncovered, and the unclean hound, is a lot nearer than Glasgow. ‘Tis a wonder we sleep in our beds at night. I mean that’s quite a death count, isn’t it, if you compare it with, I dunno, road traffic accidents or cancer? Or even that helicopter that fell into the Clutha pub?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Glasgow_helicopter_crash#:~:text=On%2029%20November%202013%2C%20a,in%20the%20pub%20were%20injured.
Bond Air Services were probably under orders from the Vatican. 🙂
A stabbing spree with at least 3 dead. That’s how it started in London not that many years back. Now multiculti Brixton is not looking so fine. The police are on the run in the heart of Britain. Their police cars are smashed and destroyed at will. Soon there will be no emergency services that will dare enter the area, and another Jihadistani enclave will be carved. French and Belgian and Swedish Jihadistan will be replicated in Britian.
But what do I know, it’s probably nothing.
Indeed. If you say so.
So the Christian brothers tried to bugger you, eh. And then it was off to private school to avoid the buggering Christians.
I guess your Christian parents sure told the Pope off on that one, eh.
I grew up across the drink in Toronto’s North York at the same time during the 60s. My parents were atheists so I just lived in the Don River building forts until I was moved to Ottawa for the 70s leg of indoctrination by government.

Bubby, I know that place too. Stayed near G Ross Park at 300 Antibes Dr for two weeks. It was mainly a Jewish Russian neighborhood with a Jewish mayor that built a new “Downtown” on Yonge and Sheppard for Asian immigrants.
Here’s one of them Jewish Russian boys:

Small world. Indeed, I do.
Been to Ottawa too. And Quebec City. And Montreal. Very cute and friendly French whores on Saint Laurent Street, and nice Bedo and Roots stores, and amazing Jewish corn beef sandwiches.
Cradle cap itching from the tin foil hat yet?
Yeah, sure, it’s all just a plot funded by George Soros. The Democrats MADE thousands of people go out into the streets to protest racism that according to the author doesn’t even exist, even in countries where there are no Democrats. And all the protesters were violent rioters and anarchists and looters and members of Antifa. No, Jim, I think you’ve seriously lost the plot.
Obviously the high water prevented the oxygen supply from making it to your brain. So when will you be posting about all of the black Africans who right now own black slaves? Or when will you be posting about the Arabs who routinely slaughter and enslave blacks in places like Nigeria and Sudan? Oh that’s right! You will NEVER post about those facts. Nor will you be posting about white people who are being attacked for being white. How much does Soros pay you to whitewash all the criminality?
We are not those people. You make poor comparisons. Apparently you would like to be those people.
Making a few thousand take to the streets is not hard. A few influencers is all it takes. Having the news media be nothing more than a mouthpiece for plutocracy made it all the easier.
widespread anarchic violence that the Democratic Party has unleashed upon the nation — JHK
But was it the Democrats? No that is simplistic and self serving and the view between two mirrors goes to infinity. Republicans control parts of the deep state and Democrats control other parts with a few agencies doing the work they are tasked to do by congress some of the time.
Republicans financed Antifa. Conservative forces are responsible. Want proof here it is but, you won’t respect the source and you will dismiss it. Which is ironic because the dismissal of facts would mean you would actually make a very good woker.
Google it. True woke terrorism almost does not exist but white supremacist terror is legion.
The people burning down our cities hate White people. You get an F on this one, Kdog. F is for Failure.
And yes, many of them are self hating Whites who hate White people. They are not “white supremacists” by any stretch of the imagination. They are just soylent white. They are jacked up Eloi given control words and ordered to kill. Read Trance Formation of America by Kathy O’Brien.
The people burning down our cities are White people. How do you explain this? Black people show up to rant and white people show up to break shit. Mirrors facing mirrors is what an America with too much time and not enough to do came to be.
Add to that as seen at the CHOP/CHAZ (i went by yesterday) the small number of black radicals are super organized. Organized along with big white men who could pass for Navy Seals. How can this be?
The whole thing is a show. Nothing is what it seems and things are not what they used to be. With America being as big as it is there is plenty of video footage to establish any reality you want now. Sometimes two videos of the same event can even produce incompatible realities. It is all in the picking and choosing. America is played and the dim among us are getting us to mirror their twitchings. Like water on stone we are worn down.
I get a double F — Fantastically Fine.
So all over America, the Blacks burning and looting are just Whites in Blackface – whole body a la Justin Trudeau?
I admitted Whites are involved, obviously prominently in some places.
And this week, in its one post, the Helen bot goes for the straw man.
She is right on this one.
It is way more complicated.
Not a bot, not an “it”, just an elderly woman who has been protesting against injustice against people and the land for most of my long and interesting life. I went to my first protest in 1965 when the US set off nuclear test explosions in the Aleutian Islands, a protest where I was almost run over at the Canada/US border by someone who didn’t like us blocking the border and who really liked nuclear bombs. I’ve protested against every war since then, and I’ve never stopped speaking up when I see unfairness and injustice or inequality and corruption, or when I see the planet we all depend on being ruined for greed and to support the unsustainable lifestyles that most people seem to want. It breaks my heart when I think of all the good that could have been done in this world if trillions of dollars hadn’t been spent on war and weapons used to subjugate people who don’t happen to live the way other people think they should. I think everybody should have healthcare and a decent roof over their heads, and that three people shouldn’t be able to have as much wealth as the bottom 50% of the country. I live a simple life, grow a lot of food for myself and our local food bank, used to be an organic farmer before I got too old, and I’ve never been paid by a political party or George Soros or anyone else to go to a protest, even though it sometimes cost me quite a bit of money to get there. I donate whatever I can spare from my very modest income to help the homeless and support organizations that are trying preserve the earth from destruction. I’ve watched as the rich got richer and everybody else got poorer, while those in government of whatever party lived the high life and made sure their pals got to skim off the cream off while everybody else got the dregs. I’ve watched schoolkids go hungry while politicians flew around in private jets, and watched people living in the streets while others own multiple homes in different parts of the world that they fly to in their private jets. I’ve watched indigenous people and people of colour and people of various religions and sexual orientations be treated as second-class human beings by those who think they’re superior to them for whatever reason they can come up with. I’ve watched women fight for the right to vote and to be able to open a bank account and get a credit card and own property. I’ve watched a good portion of the planet and millions of species be destroyed for greed and power, and sometimes even just for fun. I’ve seen the human population go from a bit over 2 billion to 7.8 billion as humans have overrun this beautiful planet and claimed nearly all of it for ourselves, with complete disregard for the needs of the other species we share it with. It’s been a long strange trip and I’m at the point where I honestly don’t care if the human species survives because we are probably too stupid to make a go of it on Planet Earth without killing off everything else, and that really wouldn’t be fair or just.
Not to nit pick your virtue signaling post but a few things jump out at me.
You must be ancient at least 120 years old since women got the right to vote in 1920.
As far as saving the planet my dear you ARE part of the problem not the solution.
You say “not to nit pick” and then go on to do exactly that. So what do I do that makes me part of the problem? Protest against inequality and discrimination? Dislike corruption? Be anti-war? Help feed the hungry? Donate to organizations that try to protect the environment? Come one, give me some examples of how I contribute the world’s problems.
You’re right, women did have the vote when I was born. But they didn’t have the right to get a credit card in their own name until the 1970s. I know that because I tried to get one and was turned down because I didn’t have a husband.
And I’m not your “dear”.
Dear Helen Highwater:
As I’ve writ elsewhere under my other moniker, Caelan MacIntyre, we are tragically out-of-scale as a fundamentally tribal/band/dunbar-number species and all held essentially (ideological, etc.) prisoners ‘of our own devices’ in these cells we call nation-states.
‘Women got the vote’ for their own imprisonment.
JHK starts off his essay with the anarchy word, when that’s what we have all essentially grew up in as a species until now.
Nate Hagens (The Oil Drum) apparently suggested that humans are a superorganism: But I suspect it is more like humans have been constantly trying to be one but they cannot because they are not ants or bees and are too complex for monotonous factory and office labour and whatnot, so they keep crashing their civs.
It is not (just) the state thugs, the police, that have to go, but the state itself if humans cannot figure out how to make it work for everyone.
Meanwhile we allow ourselves to let it and its assorted businesses to peddle and pimp us for our taxes, profit and mindless loyalty.
At the very least, if you consider the butterfly effect, this is not a recipe for success over the long haul.
The so-called wokesters or culture-cancellers or whatever aren’t going away anytime soon, and maybe they know more than JHK does in some regards than he may think he does while he literarily sucks at the teet of the currenty dystopia.
Yours,
~ (The infernal gender truthiness of) The Man They Call Zazelle
Really, benr? Someone telling their story, succinctly & eloquently is ‘virtue signaling’?
What a fucking hypocrite – this from the guy who regularly posts about his charitable handouts of water & sandwiches to homeless street-dwellers? Pharisaical or what?
@helen
Why Helen I figured you would have gleaned why you are part of the problem simply because you are alive breathing in precious oxygen and expelling dangerous planet destroying co2.
You post using a computer so you use oil/coal powered electricity to post from that infernal computer.
You don’t live in a cave and I bet you drive or at least did.
I am how ever with you on nuclear anything to dirty and toxic and organic farming.
As far as women and credit cards that was literally 50 years ago get over it and now you to can have the joys of 5%-33% interest on money borrowed for chinese made junk that won’t last long enough for you to even pay it off. HIP HIP HURRAY for girl power.

I really look forward to your Monday and Friday columns JHK; this was a good one.
My take: only a major shock, i.e. war, revolution, financial collapse, will put an end to the pernicious rackets that dominate our social / economic life. This will require personal and social change sufficient to create a culture of mutual commitment and trust. The elites especially will have to work hard to regain the trust we once held for them or face inevitable culling from the body politic.
Sortez madame guillotine maintenant!
The Elite today will simply leave!
The location of international wealth depends upon where the Elite invests it wealth. The USA will collapse when the Elite gives up on it.
Their problem is where to go. Exemplified by the Hollywood threats every election of leaving the country after so and so wins.
However, when the socialist conditions get too oppressive to the maintenance of wealth, the Elite will leave taking their wealth with them.
It has already happened. Oppressive Obama corporate taxes (We are gonna get those corporations) drove companies, and their jobs out of the US and into Asia ( not just China). Now we cannot get masks, gowns or meds.
But which madam will go to the guillotine now?
Things were so easy then. The first estate were the king and the nobles and these oppressors were supported by and to a degree held in check by the second estate; the clergy.
We have no first estate, we have no second estate and our third estate is nothing like the French third estate was. The first estate was replaced with money and imaginary people defined by articles of incorporation. Nobody to go to the guillotine from the first estate. The second estate was abandoned and we are without clergy. Hired factotums from the American third estate do the dirty work the second estate did in France.
America can’t even identify who their enemy is. A culture of mutual commitment and trust can’t grow without understanding who and what the enemy really and truly is. Our American future will now be an ever growing spiral of growing mistrust as the megamachine of empire determines our fate. We are without an emperor but the machinery of empire forges its own path forward in a random walk that will destroy us all.
RaymondR, you write like the world gets a second chance but with the population we have maintenant and the resources we have left, I don’t think so.
Which political party would you like to see destroyed? If the Republicans, then vote Republican. If the Democrats, then vote Democratic.
Both actually.
First the DNC and then the Republicans when they get drunk on power.
Then maybe a move back to center and sanity…please.
Jim you don’t try to promote yourself or your books but I have all of your books and would like to buy your new one. Which vendor returns the most money to you? I would like the money to make it into your pocket and not say, Amazon. My other comment is that your comments section seems to be accumulating a lot of weird thoughtless and rude microcephalics. Is it time to consider moderation? Or is that just too much trouble for a busy writer….
Is it time to consider moderation? – hugho
===========
If you think that moderation is not happening you’ve got another think coming. Jim regularly mucks out the stables.
Drop the h and we have a Hugo. How would one even pronounce it? With a whisper? Why whisper when one can proclaim as a Victorious Hugo?
Here is some of what is coming.
1. Much higher local taxes.
2. Reduction in SS via means testing.
3. Raising Medicare premiums also means tested.
4. Climate change mandates.
5 Stricter, business killing environmental rules.
6. Taxation on churches.
7. Eliminating tax avoidance for conservative institutions based on their “hate” policies.
8. Closure of many universities due to collapsed customer base.
9. Much more Section 8 housing.
10. Military turned over to black generals and admirals.
11. White kids discovering they don’t matter.
12. More violence, less law enforcement, many no go areas.
13. Rationed medical care. Let the old continue to die; don’t treat them.
14. Media giants continue to tighten speech.
15. Realization that BLM and minorities don’t want equality, but want dominance.
16. Military budgets reduced enormously.
17. Cascading effects of collapsed consumerism. Lots of those.
18. Total collapse of justice system; criminals roam free.
19. Pandemic continues and continues and continues; no vaccine ever.
20. Far more addictions as more fail to cope with new situation.
6. Taxation on churches.
Good. Can’t happen too soon. Tax them til they’re small enough to be drowned in the tub.
8. Closure of many universities
Good. At least half the people in College have no business being there.
13. Let the old continue to die.
It actually makes sense and I say that as one in the middle of my 80th year.
in the middle of my 80th year – Q.
===========
To the math challenged, once you’re 79 Y/O you’re in your 80th year.
3. Medicare premium surcharges are already here for higher income retirees.
7. Bob Jones University lost its tax exempt status years ago.
12. Three decades ago, New York City had over 2,000 murders a year. The city has a long way to go to catch up.
16. We couldn’t afford to be the policeman of the world for years.
It is no joke when you deny reality, the joke is you don’t comprehend reality since you’ve been conditioned in magical thinking. The comfort zone is shrinking as the forces of reality unleash a destructive rage.
The contest will be between levels and faces of corruption, between degrees of wickedness. Truth will not be on the ballot.
Beware of What You Wish For
Thank God….
“ The Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to review two key points in Bill Cosby’s appeal for his 2018 sexual assault conviction.
The state’s highest court will review Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Steven O’Niell’s decision that allowed prosecutors to call five witnesses to testify on Cosby’s prior alleged assaults and introduce evidence that Cosby had previously given women quaaludes, the Associate Press reported. Heidi Thomas, Janice Baker-Kinney, Chelan Lasha, Janice Dickinson and Lise Lotte-Lublin all testified that Cosby had drugged and sexually assaulted them in a controlled environment. However, Cosby’s lawyers argue that the witness statements were outdated and not relevant to the charges.
Additionally, the court will examine Cosby’s agreement with a former prosecutor that said he would not be charged for assaulting Andrea Constand. Cosby depended on this agreement when he testified at Constand’s civil lawsuit in 2015.
“As we have all stated, the false conviction of Bill Cosby is so much bigger than him — it’s about the destruction of ALL Black people and people of color in America,” Spokesman Andrew Wyatt said in a statement Tuesday. ”
All Blacks must be released from Prison, immediately! It’s all just systemic racism and shit.

A lot of ignorant talk about Marxism from the rabble this week and the usual suspects are as ignorant as ever.
FYI:
For Marxists, unity in struggle is based not on culture or identity, and nor is it a moral question. Instead, Marxists emphasize the necessity of the unity of the working class as the only force that can end exploitation and oppression, due to its role in the productive process of capitalism.
For Marxism to exist in America we would need a working class. We don”t have one so the RWNJs here should relax. But they won’t because they cultivate distraction and are not interested in truth. Their babble exists for another purpose altogether. But they should. It really is not to worry about since most Americans would spell Karl with a C anyway.
I could roll with an anti-industrial marxism that painted any economy (from 1st world to 3rd) dependent on corrosive patterns of resource use as “bourgois” , the enemy
I like that definition of bourgois.
Communism has many theorists and methods – like Gramsci and Adorno. And Cloward and Piven. It is not dependent on Marx and his methods. Our Communism as it is shaping up has a strong Maoist element as well. Chinese financing too?
As you well know. The duplicity remains constant though….
No and I’m BUSTING you.
Adorno is not a communist theorist at all. He is a founder of queer theory. Gramsci attempted to break from traditional Marxist thought and is considered a neo-Marxist.
I am an opponent of the Cloward and Piven strategy and while I agree with John McWhorter that the strategy “created generations of black people for whom working for a living is an abstraction” I don’t think he goes far enough. The damage has not been limited to black people. They have suffered the most from the Cloward and Piven strategy but truth is all America has suffered.
KDFP
Adorno is an Experimental Psychologist in Social Psychology. Nobody in Experimental Psychology is a Marxist but myself.
The so-called Marxists are merely Neoliberals collecting salary off the backs of those they indenture to servitude via bank loans for Student Loans agreements that they made with governments all over the world since the Second World War ushered in United Nations hegemonic control globally via the superordinate goal of sharing in the loot.
RW
And yet some of the people pushing this forward have admitted they are trained Marxists!
When some say hey I am this I tend to believe them when it is views as a negative but rational normal people.
What I don’t believe is people who talk like marxists and then call themselves progressives because it sounds less threatening.
Small world, we have seen the same video. Listen to her again. She clearly pauses to remember what she was told to say.
It is an obvious tell and you can’t miss it. I am surprised you did. If you find the video please post it here. I’d like to see it again too.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed I agree but she might also not be used to being on camera. It takes a lot of work to get used to it and being smooth.
She was very relieved when she remembered what to say.
Sorry K-dog, you got this one wrong. The Marxism at work now, is a slick rebranded version. It’s not about the capitalist running-dog Vs. the proletariat working class anymore. The Marxist’s of the 60’s and 70’s realized that they couldn’t sell that brand because the proletariats were doing pretty good, so they started working on the new and improved Marxism. Now it’s the privileged white patriarchy Vs. oppressed POC, but it’s the same old shtick- It’s nothing but an authoritarian power grab. Same as the old Marxism. If it isn’t stopped now, it’ll end the same way too, with gulags and political murder.
Americas failure to achieve equity is the result of systemic issues. Systemic racism is not the issue. In America Rich People Matter and if on average the American black man had more in the bank than the average white man the situation would be reversed 180 degrees. The cries of white lives matter would deafen us all.
Equity? As in everyone having the same amount of money? You really are a Communist.
Socrates defined justice as each getting their just deserts. Blacks are always on the bottom in any mixed society. Hindus always do better. Hispanics always do better. Asians? Please. Stop comparing Blacks only to Whites with the intention of making us out to be oppressors. It’s evil, Kdog. Stop being evil.
Don’t straw man me. As in everyone having the same amount of money?
I’ll just answer that with an oh fuck no and leave it at that. As to Justice I know more than Socrates.
In other words, a direct hit. You got nuthin’.
You sank his battleship.
But they don’t have more in the bank. And the things that prevent that are more systemic than those affecting any other group.
‘Beware of What You Wish For‘ For me as much time as I spend on thinking about what we should wish for, this is not a problem. I’m in fear of what the rest of you wish for. Thinking has gone out of fashion.
The strangest thing of all, on the eve of U.S. self-destruction is that the country could get out of the mess any time it wanted if it had a civilized and disciplined Left. Anyone else noticed that while the Congress giving away trillions of dollars away, noone in the hallowed halls of Washington came a mile within the idea, I mean THE IDEA, that could bring the country back from the precipice. Nancy & Chuck, how about restoring the federal and state taxes to rates of the 1960’s? That would be the first order of business in managing the obscene wealth concentration which is at the root of social decay of the republic. Forget all the stupid distractions and hyperboles! You are not fooling anyone over thirty.
The strangest thing of all, on the eve of U.S. self-destruction is that the country could get out of the mess any time it wanted to if it had a civilized and disciplined Left.
true words
America is a very individualistic society. People take care of themselves and don’t mind other people’s business. This encourages inaction. Everyone expects someone else to fix problems because as individuals they do not consider themselves responsible.
Expecting people to pay more taxes to save their ass is not American.
People get nothing for their taxes, that is the problem. The Deep State absorbs everything with no payback. Just like Obama, new taxes and none of the promises kept. Another step down for the country.
Stupid! Any one that believes in the Democratic promises is a fool!
Anyone that believes Democrat anything but corruption, cheating, divisive politics and lies that is.
Growing up in Birmingham, AL, I have taken a number of State Dept visitors to the Civil Rights Museum on 16th St. in that city. Since I was born there and remember the “Troubles”, it is always interesting to see pictures of those days. What strikes me now is the number of pictures of the segregated black businesses and social groups with their 1950’s clothes and amazing hats just like the Rotary, Kiwanis, and garden clubs that my parents participated in. I recall when Condi Rice (from B’ham) became the White House Nat’l Security Advisor for Bush and the pictures in Newsweek of her childhood showed all the places we white children frequented: the skating rink, the piano teacher in Crestline Village, the Alabama Theater— but on a different day. She had attentive black parents and was obviously successful. But Integration of the schools eliminated the black teachers and the black schools that cared about the black students. Why didn’t the white teachers care as much about their new black students? Incorrigible racism end of story? The black businesses on 12th Avenue N shrank and disappeared as the black customers deserted them. And then the steel mills closed sending the coal from Walker County and the iron ore from Red Mountain to Japan and the new post war furnaces there…….Working class jobs disappeared, black and white.
Consider how fast this cultural transition was: Sit-ins 1958-62, firehoses, 1963 bombing, 1964 Civil Rights Act, 1965 Voting Rights, 1968- US Steel leaves and the 1970 Environmental Movement makes US steel mills uncompetitive.
Eight years to change my grandmother with her colored help to a modern unprejudiced believer in the New South. My parents were believers in change. Democrats were of course the reactionary status quo(Strom Thurmond Dixiecrats) and my parents were the Rockefeller Republicans. My grandmother was a yellow dog Democrat: from Wilson to FDR to even (uncomfortably) Kennedy. My parents were in to change…..
I highlight this as a Southern take on JHK and his “mirror economy”. To say that it worked would be presumptuous but to say what has transpired since then has worked would be foolish. To even conceptualize what could work in a time of industrial decline and cultural confusion is almost “inconceivable”.
By and large, people believe what they’re told to believe. The Truth doesn’t even enter into it. The light skinned Black woman who heads the Heritage Foundation is in favor of BLM and the rioting – even though it’s destroying what she is supposedly trying to protect. Another failed, cucked institution.
By and large, people believe what they’re told to believe. The Truth doesn’t even enter into it.
I know this, you know this. So why are you so twisted?
No, you’re the twisted one! Satan has your mind in his back pocket.
If you were head of the Heritage Foundation, you’d be even lighter skinned and working even harder to destroy our heritage.

What’s Birmingham like now, in 2020?
Brh
BRH
B’ham is a livable city with A/C. It’s heydey was 1880-1930 so it’s a little old and shabby now but the young people have moved into a few pockets to try their hand at gentrification. Like most Southern cities, it’s post WWII growth was ruined by the car. White flight didn’t help either. Jobs are healthcare, finance and education. It’s not known for “technology”. My kids liked living there. Goldman-Sachs sold the county commission some complicated bond derivative product for ‘extra return’ (which God knows they could have used) but it blew up in GFC08 and bankrupted them. I am fond of the Magic City but it is not returning to its former glory before the civil rights disturbances and now the long emergency. Too much old infrastructure to re-purpose…..
Speaking of the 4th of July, that’s the date a couple of groups that appear to be totally unrelated to any biker organizations are trying to goad a bunch of bikers into riding up to CHAZ/CHOP/Seattle Socialist Utopia and start taking out the trash (and I’m not talking about the debris left on the ground.) I don’t think most are falling for it, but there might be enough passionate anti-commie bikers out there to make it an interesting day. If I lived a little closer I would head up there to watch/video the show.
CHOP is basically gone at this point anyway, no need for them now, its too late.
I was by it yesterday. It is far from gone and it could start back up easy.
I’d advise not coming up here to watch/video the show. Bullets have been flying and to be safe from bullets you have to be far away. CHAZ/CHOP is city streets and a small park. No safe place.
Squatters in the park have been placed to rush to the barricades if anything less than overwhelming force were to take the streets back.
In this particular situation I’d use overwhelming force so nobody gets hurt. Bikers showing up is an outside chance but it is a possibility. Better the CHAZ/CHOP go away and a serious plan to address grievances is put in place so it does not want to come back. I’d use the national guard.
Already too many guns have been fired. We don’t need bikers showing up with more.

Yes, I think it’s a Very Bad Idea, regardless of the outcome the optics would not be good and bikers have a bad enough reputation already. You probably heard the details of the latest incident, three young black men in a stolen vehicle drove into the encampment at 3 am and opened fire, the CHOP non-police department returned fire killing two and leaving one in critical condition. But of course it could have happened anywhere, it has nothing to do with the BLM/Antifa occupation.
It just occurred to me, it’s a good thing that SPD wasn’t involved or it would have been another unjustified murder of innocent black men to stoke the fires instead of the non-event that it is now.
Yes but not before I made the rounds here. News I get on our local news is two teenagers in a jeep Cherokee were shot.
Apparently earlier in the evening the Cherokee had shown up driving donuts around the soccer field and left. Video was shown.
Then later when only fools and lone travelers lurk about in the wee AM the jeep Cherokee returned and apparently: (I’m beginning to take liberties here) Some bangers started singing.
‘The Cherokee is after me and I’m not singing a happy song.
12 shots
The Cherokee smashes into a barricade and the 16 year old driver is dead and a 14 year old boy is in critical condition. The crime is unsolvable and a crowd goes through the Cherokee before police arrive. Video of the Cherokee is shown.
I took liberties because the race of the driver and shooting victim was not disclosed in our 5PM news.
I don’t where you got ‘three young black men’ but oh well, reality is as we know these days, a moving target.
Two teenagers, most likely black, I agree.
I haven’t been there myself, but I have a contact on the inside. I may have gotten some details wrong from them or another source, it’s a pretty confusing situation. And by “young black men”, I mean anyone from that demographic old enough to drive a car and/or wield a gun. Just came across this in their feed, haven’t had time to watch it all, but it might be enlightening. https://www.facebook.com/WWConverge/videos/2868394493265460/?vh=e&d=n
Thanks for posting that.

Personally after your gaslighting a week or two about the CHOP you folks in Seattle deserve the CHOP.
I personally hope we on the Right can keep the agitation of your leftist fringe going and going. It must poll badly because Dementia Joe spoke out against statue defacement as bad electoral politics.
But I am always amazed at how the Left can turn on stuff like this and turn it off, I admire that capability.
Go fuck yourself newworld. And fuck the horse you rode in on too while you are at it. I live here motherfucker, so if you want a piece of me you know where I am.
Gaslighting. Fuck you newworld. I was in the intersection where the sixteen year old teenager was shot 12 hours before it happened. My position on this issue is clear, no gass lighting at all and you have not been reading it because I would have 500 National Guard camped in Cal Anderson Park right now.
I am not right and I am not left. I am myself and so kindly take ‘your leftist fringe’ and put it where the sun don’t shine. Better yet, shove it up your ass.
The only thing smart was the strategic retreat. But to have blown several opportunities to take the Precinct back is unconscionable and Mayor Durkin should resign or show up with overwhelming force to clean out the CHOP/CHAZ so nobody gets hurt.
Are we clear?

Newworld’s comment didn’t seem bad enough to bring out such a harsh response.
Twelve years ago there was a guy who posted here who went by the handle OEO (One Eye Open). He was infamous for his ad hominems, like fucktard and moron. I got a good laugh out of “penis breath.” But, in my old age I have become tired of name-calling.
Q: My parents decided that I should pay for my last year of university. They believed that I would gain more appreciation through monetary contribution. I’m not sure if it worked as intended, but I did learn how to deal with a certain segment of society.
I worked menial jobs between my university hours: warehouse, beer distribution, etc.
I quickly learned that the working class do not respond to reason alone. They do not respond to nuance. They do not read between the lines. Nor do they respect this approach.
Only a tirade of clever epithets gets through to them.
“Gary, give me back that pallet-jack you sad washed-up mulleted f**k!”
“Donna, you have a face that would make a train take a dirt road”
“Larry, is that your wife out there? Her *ss looks like a frog standing up”
That brought respect. And relief. And results.
Yeah a week ago K-dog said CHOP was peaceful and life goes on in Seattle, that same time the rape porno producer was walking about with AR-15s and calling himself the leader of CHOP. This is called gaslighting, and the Left is superb at it.
But never mind CHOP polled badly, an idiot colored woman race crusader/marxist turned the mayoral mansion into an unsafe space and now CHOP got chopped by the cops, in an hour.
One hour, as I said the Left can turn these things on and off like a light switch, amazing. But Bidenville lives on and the internet is forever, maybe. Thank you fringe

Cop car knocks protesters out of the way like ten pins. They were banging on it and jumping on the hood. Our intrepid officer then stopped short to knock two remaining goblins off the car via the law of conserved momentum.

The department is investigating the actions of both the protesters and the officer who was driving. You did not have to pull me in. I would have peeked at your link anyway.
I’m all for ending racism of every sort; be it systemic, structural, residual, or whatever we call it.
But as H.L.Mencken once said: “For every problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.”
Reparations for black people fits Mencken’s model; simple, neat and WRONG.
Why?
Because black people are not the only demographic exploited and ground into the dust by greed and lust. Slave-owning plantation operators certainly exploited slaves to the max; that’s the clearest example, and by far the worst.
But business and corporate entities are almost as guilty. American labor history is replete with horrors perpetrated against people regardless of sex, race, national origin and age. Read “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair.
– Lads of nine or ten were used in the mine operations.
https://allthatsinteresting.com/child-miners#11
– Women were locked into fire-trap sweatshops.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fire
– Rockefeller kept his CFI miners segregated by country of origin and paid them slightly different to keep them at each other’s throats so he could play one against the other. Divide and conquer works to this day.
People of color have had it hard in this country, often to grievous levels. But take it from a white guy who grew up dirt poor, the same sort of big money that ran slavery and the big money that runs capitalist concerns will abuse and exploit anyone they can — color of skin be damned. Plantation owners conned and suckered an army of poor white boys to take up arms against the USA to perpetuate slavery.
Point of all this is to say that ALL poor working stiffs in this country have been used and abused and if “reparations” go only to black people then that is preferential treatment and is DOA in Congress — as it should be.
Further, it’s a fools errand to try and calculate what’s a ‘fair’ reparation? How do we measure the harm done? How can we put a price on it? Who deserves it? Who doesn’t? It would be a never ending shitshow of slicing and dicing and pricing with a cast of characters clamoring for more more more — the hubbub will never end.
People of any race, age or sex have been used and abused for generations by toxic capitalism (slavery being the worst example) and if we are to be fair then all of aggrieved peoples deserve consideration.
But what form of consideration?
Reparations are politically DOA, not only because it focuses on only one group, but also because it’s backwards focused — we can’t fix the ancient crimes.
Instead of reparations I prefer we “pay it forward” (PIF) as the saying goes. The PIF that I favor is to pay for college for all citizens who live in households below a certain financial level — regardless of color. IMO this is the best we can do, the best way to be fair to all.
Let’s take Bernie Sanders’ idea to fund college educations, up to $50k per person, to build an educated population going forward. Reparations is backward looking while college (and trade school) funding is forward looking. We can’t fix the past; but we can and must build a much better future nation if all poor kids can get a break. I know grinding poverty from the inside, poor kids have to have someone in their corner since most parents aren’t able to help them.
The alternative of keeping the status quo, to do nothing, means we will keep spending $100k per person, per year, to incarcerate the poor.
We can pay it now or we can pay it later, but for damned sure are going to pay — one way or another.
Choose wisely.
I would not be opposed to your idea at all, except for that we don’t need more kids in college. We need them in technical training schools. Training for real skills of all kinds. Colleges are just useless degree mills at best, liberal indoctrination camps at worst. Unless they are going to be learning engineering, medicine, computer science or otherwise, I don’t want my taxes paying for it.
I agree, Wrenching. Most important, half or more of the young in college do not belong there. They are not the types to endure academic rigor. Take my b-i-l, Peter. He put in 3 semesters (mainly to avoid the draft, I believe) until they threw him out. He had a 1.25 GPA and that was with all fluff courses. Hands-on labor education is the better answer.
1.25 GPA?
Pete must have earned a C+ somewhere along the way.
B-I-L..Oh pleeze..is he in a stupor or does he own a stupa?
TBH, most people know this deep down. I don’t even use my degrees at my job, but I got excellent training for what I do now from a group of old school newspaper editors.
Had I gone to J school, I would feel like an idiot. Life is one long education. A college degree is the agreed upon price for access to decent paying jobs in the white collar world, but a clever person doesn’t need it.
It helps get your foot in the door, Night Owl.
Same thing with my Honorable Discharges.
I f##kd around a lot when I was a kid, but I made sure I earned some credentials along the way. I looked at graduating from college as a rite of passage, didn’t really expect much from it.

My son-in-law is a VP with RCB (bank) and has only a HS degree. He and my daughter live in NYC. Everything he does he does well. I should know HALF what he knows. I realize he’s an exception, not the rule.

Like a lot of ideas that started with the best of intentions and hope, providing an education for all would end in disaster. Online so-called learning is a cash cow for the schools and would not provide an education but yet another boondoggle for taxpayers. If 75% of the courses were in person, attendance taken and standards for staying in college raised it might work. I worked with a nurse who got a “degree” from the University of Phoenix that even the US government finally refused to use GI benefits to pay for and she knew nothing.
SW–that sounds like UOP. I was faculty there for 15 years (not in Nursing). I taught in the classroom. I had multiple complaints over the years as I did not mind maintaining academic rigor as I already had a full time job and was not dependent on my UOP job. I could be honest, but faculty evaluations also carried a lot of weight. If your evaluations sucked (as they do from students that fail, get poor grades) then you would not get any more classes.
However, I would get students 1 to 2 years into their Bachelor’s degree and they could not compose a simple sentence. There were some papers I literally could not grade as they were incomprehensible. BTW, these were students that had graduated from San Diego high schools.
Almost all ESL students, Spanish speaking.
This happened ALL the time and their lack of writing skills and reading comprehension was a frequent faculty complaint. Even if they failed my class, I would see them at graduation and wonder how that happened.
I also busted a lot of them on plagiarism. Still they graduated. You got 3 chances at UOP if you plagiarized. Even deliberate plagiarism did not necessarily mean the student would fail the class.
It was a real racket. UOP was making money hand over fist. Then the government stopped funding the GI bills for UOP and multiple garbage degrees in which students would get out of school and couldn’t get a job paying minimum wage. Then, they defaulted on their loans. Three years at UOP could cost almost $50K.
It would be my guess that they will not survive the shutdown.
Ricehex — Your summary is exactly why I’m against college for all. I think the standards you describe are so wide spread that a college degree would be little more than an expensive joke. I was discouraged to see this woman not only had a degree but had passed such a watered-down professional test that she was trusted with people’s welfare — their lives in some cases.
Rodney King went through his three million dollar reparations in two years. That would have last me for the rest of my life.

3 little indians? Isn’t that a racist old song?

“On Behalf Of Environmentalists, I Apologize For The Climate Scare”
From Michael Shellenberger

“We environmentalists condemn those with antithetical views of being ignorant of science and susceptible to confirmation bias,” wrote the former head of The Nature Conservancy, Steve McCormick. “But too often we are guilty of the same. Shellenberger offers ‘tough love:’ a challenge to entrenched orthodoxies and rigid, self-defeating mindsets”

“…July Fourth, when the nation traditionally throws a birthday party for itself. No celebration will be allowed this year. But there may be plenty of marching, moiling, and mayhem.”
July Fourth, the traditional celebration of purported Independence from Great Britain. Except that the USA has never been completely independent from that other former empire nation due to importing so many of its laws, customs, social sanctions, predatory capitalism, and tendencies toward World Domination among other things. USA is just Great Britain in different packaging. But packaging matters, right Uncle Ben’s? Except now it’s Uncle Sam’s in a different box but with the same contents and number of sellouts.
If not real independence, what are we to celebrate on July Fourth? Our sins. Our failings. Our anger. Our frustration. Our lack of imagination. Our misdeeds that certain groups will make sure are never forgotten. Grievances and Outrage are today’s currency since the value of the US Dollar is approaching nil.
We celebrate that some lives apparently still Matter more than others. We just change the arrangement on the totem pole a bit. We celebrate trillions of dollars being conjured out of thin air yet Amtrak gets NOTHING. All the effing money and we could have had a world-class rail system by now but OF COURSE NOT. Why would we want to solve our transportation problems for the next hundred years? Instead, Amtrak plans to cut many daily service trains to just three days a week. Using mostly old equipment. Why? We want people stuck in their homes and paralyzed with fear and angry and broke. Mission Accomplished. Celebrate that, I guess.
You could build the best rail system in the world — and we had nearly that until about 1950 — still, people would drive their cars. The trains would be empty.
Brh
Roundball, you said a mouth full when you mentioned independence from Great Britain.
We threw off the king’s rule, but remained economically colonized and to some extent we are to this day.
Southerners never understood that slavery made them de facto colonies of England. British (and Dutch) sea captains brought slaves to the USA and took cotton (and tobacco) to London. The colony aspect is that slave plantations did the dirty work of slavery to grow a commodity crop for export to England where British textile mills turned raw cotton into valuable finished goods.
America did the dirty work, England made and sold value-added textile products to the world. Without firing a shot the Brits continued the colonization of the south for almost 80 years after our revolution. Few recognize it for what it really was. They set us up with racism that divides us to this day as they laugh all the way to the bank. They go to the bank, we go to each other’s throats. Divide and conquer is a game the Brits have expertly played on the world stage for centuries.
These days we pump our diminishing aquifers dry in TX and AZ to grow cotton that we export to British-owned textile plants in India. We never learn. We grow cotton with immigrant Mexican farm workers who put costs on our schools and social services and then we go at each other’s throats over immigration — as British firms make profits and laugh at us.
American farmers are a colony of China, growing mountains of soy beans for shipment to China where they turn our crops into higher value goods; like farm-raised fish they sell back to us. Every year hundreds of millions of tons of our topsoil washes down the Mississippi River system to the Delta so we can grow soybeans like poor peasant farmers hoping for a good year once in a while to pay the damned bills.

A few hours ago, in Seattle’s Autonomous Zone … 2 more people shot, 1 man dead 1 14 yo boy critically wounded. A Jeep Cherokee found riddled with bullet holes, everyone and everything involved well ventilated and aired out. It appears Street Gangs are flexing their muscle in this lawless cop free utopia.
And why shouldn’t they? Mustafa X gangland chieftain knows weakness when he sees it, and he sees it in Mayor Jenny, who wishes to engage the distinguished Mr Mustafa in ‘Constructive Dialogue’, about matters of ‘Systemic Racism’ and ‘Generational Pain’. Meanwhile, Mustafa X and his soldiers are more than pissed about all the white tail leaving the zone and headed home. Also they need a supply of weed, 9mm ammo, Chinese food, orange soda, kool cigarettes and 40 oz ers. And they want Mayor Jenny to deliver the goods personally, in a city truck. That’ll be enough for now; there’s plenty of splendid booty to be parlayed right here at home, inside CHOP, CHAZ, whatever they’re calling themselves nowadays.
In Minneapolis, high level of gunplay in the past several weeks, with dozens of casualties, being attributed to at least 10 organized street gangs battling for hegemony and a good position when the PD is disbanded later this year.

Written earlier above:
I was by it yesterday. It is far from gone and it could start back up easy.
I’d advise not coming up here to watch/video the show. Bullets have been flying and to be safe from bullets you have to be far away. CHAZ/CHOP is city streets and a small park. No safe place.
Squatters in the park have been placed to rush to the barricades if anything less than overwhelming force were to take the streets back.
In this particular situation I’d use overwhelming force so nobody gets hurt. Bikers showing up is an outside chance but it is a possibility. Better the CHAZ/CHOP go away and a serious plan to address grievances is put in place so it does not want to come back. I’d use the national guard.
Already too many guns have been fired. We don’t need bikers showing up with more.
I suggested last week how to do it. Easy clean and nobody gets hurt.

The mayor of Seattle sounds like someone who has no idea what’s she’s doing. All she can think to do is appease people who have no wish to do anything but make demands and accept no responsibility. Want to end this? Deliver no supplies and allow no one in, send in no ambulances and make it clear this is their new normal and every person who remains within this zone is considered a criminal. They set up a fort within the city and this is the downside of a siege.

Q,
Yes, it is a good one. Recommended reading.
IMO, what commenters are missing and not taking into account is human nature. People have some innate characteristics that give rise to our current situation. We are not perfect creatures, only God is. We’re wired to try to dominate over others, to accumulate power and resources. As a species, we can’t avoid our genetic heritage.
That’s why discussing forms of government is useless. No matter if America ends up Marxist, communistic, democratic, socialistic or any form of government, we will eventually follow our tendencies and end up where we are today. To resolve our issues – xenophobia, racism, inequality, overpopulation, the drive to power and unreasonable accumulation, among others – we need to change ourselves first. Otherwise we will never reach the stars.
To be honest, I’m not confident we can do this.
Neither is BlackRock, Beantown Bill, but Powell says we all need to feel safe before irrational exuberance can propel Wall Street to the heights of irrationality experienced back when we were all ignorant enough to ‘feel safe’ at the hands of Dr. Alan Greenspan’s Greenspan Put era of irrationality for the masses pre-Lehman debacle 08.
To be honest, I think the zero sum end game has arrived and Powell et all. have decided to turn the other cheek hoping nobody will notice.

All of your familiar bogeymen are here. But the format is far too short. You knock down familiar straw with convenient arguments. ”
Affirmative action in college admissions was undertaken mainly for institutional moral showboating, often with tragic outcomes for young people unprepared to perform there.” Where are the figures? At my colleges, Penn and Michigan, there were many (my friends) who were helped and working as what you describe in your next point: middle-class professions.
“one tragic byproduct was the destruction of the old mirror economy of black middle-class business and professions. A lot of that was replaced by employment in various public bureaucracies, with jobs ranging from useless to pointless to hopelessly corrupt and inimical to the real common good.”
Unfortunately this was destroyed more by systemic racist policies. Look at the destruction of “Black Wall Street” in Tulsa. The flight of whites from neighborhoods being integrated in cities and first ring suburbs. This was not just a flight of people but also economic capital to support this developing middle class.

Your comment about Trump and the GOP.
Ever consider that the GOP is one half of the swamp?
You used to hear it more often, but you still hear it trumpeted with fierce conviction: “The answer for minorities is more and higher education.”
In 2018, 37% of 18 – 24 y o Blacks attended college (just 5% fewer than Whites). So, affirmative action, cratering marking standards, preferential enrollment gatekeeping, soft (to be more blunt, bogus) new courses with attendant self-esteem babysitters for profs … none of it matters. They either hang around and graduate (as long as they manage to hand in papers of subpar quality, and attend a minimum number of classes), or drop out with debt and increasing resentment.
The same issue involves Whites, as well, but for different reasons. Their agility with language, past-present-future logistics, symbol associations, and understanding of debating protocol are clearly higher than Blacks, in the aggregate, but they’re being infected, at an alarming rate, by the turgid bullshit of repurposed French theory and simple-minded activism.
You want a laugh or a good cry (depending on your natural predilection or mood)? Google any university or college, and peruse the course titles for any of the department of humanities. If you want to tear your (remaining) hair out, then go to sites where they list the annual salaries and bonuses of these charlatan ‘teachers’.
University education was founded on the idea that only a select number of young people were up to the task of running through and excelling in a strict, difficult curricula of classic courses. And those few who passed the demanding entrance requirements were pushed hard by their often brilliant professors.
One of the only good results I can foresee in the gathering madness is that these shameful institutions will go belly up in the coming financial apocalypse, and their callow offspring will reflect long and hard about how it all went wrong that equality of outcome was achieved at the level of equality of nothing.
How the heck did these universities get to this point in the first place? How did this country get to this point now?
The USA since the Second World War has seemed to have the smarts to ward off the folks around the world trying to knock us off the perch. Only by the intrusion of elements of our country, yes, enemies of the state, have these globalists been able to take over. By the definition of the Constitution, this country is becoming under the control of Traitors.
I suspect that Richard Nixon’s executive order on Affirmative Action in 1969 had a lot to do with it. His action was a response to the Kerner Commission Report on Civil Disturbances (especially the 1967 Detroit riots). The commission had been established in 1968 by President Johnson.

Lockheed Martin is too busy physical distancing away from third & fourth rate shit holes to angle for war these days in light of their knowledge about Gain-of-Function Dual Use Pandemic Pathogens like SARS-2-nCoV-19 which is a man made Pandemic Pathogen not worth betting against due to pathogenicity, exponential spread, and inevitable death rate if the population is not spaced out via directives of the Physical Distancing Nanny State Epidemiologists.
Lockheed Martin has a Board of Directors that is fully briefed on the fact that SARS-2-nCov-19 is indeed a bioweapon. They are not stupid people with lackluster risk analysts that don’t know doodley squat about risk.
I’d bet that Lockheed Martin is pretty much on extended vacation until the lion’s share of population is vaccinated wholesale across the board Western world G7 & G20.
Lockheed Martin is a high level arms technology supplier to government. As a government contractor they will sit this one out in comfort knowing the inherent risks associated with returning to work until a vaccine is made manifest.

Is there some evidence for this statement – that you can share?
Plenty of people have talked at length about the how and why.
Use duckduckgo and find out but I warn you goggle will not return the values needed.
My comment is merely deductive logic gleaned from experience. I could be wrong, but invariably my inferential deductive logic works wonders when applied logically. Moreover, given that we are evidencing ‘second waves’ predicted to be greater than the first it is not a stretch to assert that corporate liability will be factored into decision making for the working business protocol on Physical Distancing for the foreseeable future going forward.
My guess is that insurers are going to be sending corporate boards their own directives for insurance policy purposes. And we all know that major insurance companies don’t like risk at all and are averse to underwriting it in instances like this where sovereign nations are mucking around with biohazards that can wipe out humanity faster than you can say ‘Where’s the beef’.
At this juncture I think NATO is finished outright along with half of the USA arms dealers & suppliers of all things technology.
Like I said I could be wrong.
RW
[…] it is not a stretch to assert that corporate liability will be factored into decision making for the working business protocol on Physical Distancing for the foreseeable future going forward.
This MBA-speak is not evidence of (a) a bio-weapon origin, nor (b) that the Lockheed Martin board has been briefed.
Is Kakadu Man the Nanny State on Clusterfuck Nation or what?

ok, interesting Robert!
I’m thinking a war will be manufactured against some 4th rate shit hole soon…”
Bets anybody?”
Pete,
I hope it will be against those bastards of the frozen north…Canada!
Yes, they come down here and insult our men and steal our women…and they control the entire world supply of Eskimo Pies…it is time for the USMC to teach them a lesson.
Does Canada even qualify as 4th rate shit hole? Since when did they deserve such high praise? They can’t even refine their own oil, or win a Stanley Cup championship in game they practically invented.
lol
don’t forget their maple syrup monopoly
Maine has better Maple syrup as well.
Jim says:
“Ending racial segregation was surely a moral imperative, but one tragic byproduct was the destruction of the old mirror economy of black middle-class business and professions.”
But is this true? Was ending racial segregation (racial integration?) in fact a moral imperative?
Why?
When you make these claims, Jim, do you mean that it was a moral imperative for citizens to be stripped of their right to freedom of association and to be persecuted and harrassed and prosecuted when they wish to privately live according to other arrangements? Because that is what in fact has happened.
There are two aspects to racial segregation: enforced and voluntary. It is easy to argue that segregation that is enforced by the government is tyranny. But so is it tyranny for governments to enforce integration.
It is tyranny when a government forbids me to establish a private school where students are admitted only in line with criteria chosen by the school itself, (ethnicity, race, sex, religion, etc). Surely it is my right to privately associate as I wish.
If I wish to live in private and exclusive housing, or run a private business, or associate in a private club, and exclude or not serve whomever I like – excluding for example people who I belueve do not share my aims or values, people I believe are likely to behave dangerously, violently, disruptively, like thugs, and shoplifters or who will destroy the functional value or private amenity of the organization – surely that is not only my right, it is moreover THE DUTY OF GOVERNMENT TO HELP ME TO PRESERVE AND EXERCISE THAT RIGHT.
Otherwise, what is the purpose of the government and why should I give it my allegiance?
Well, I should not, because such a government is clearly my existential enemy.
So is it a fact that “Ending racial segregation was surely a moral imperative”? No, it is not a fact. Instead, contrariwise, the involvement of the government in the enforcement of plans for ending segergation/enforcing integration* have been the opposite, it has clearly been an immoral imperative as it has enslaved – by literal law and force – one portion of society to achieving the social ends of another.
*abolishing the right to Freedom of Association
Please stop, Kim. You are making too much sense.
Yes, Bravo. A basic Constitutional defense of segregation in a free society. More important than ever with the gate crashers about to come to White America. They have no right. And we have the right to defend our hovels and mansions. Our Mayor Largo Trailers. Our neighborhoods, trailer parks, and gated communities. We are the community members now!
If I wish to live in private and exclusive housing, or run a private business, or associate in a private club, and exclude or not serve whomever I like – excluding for example people who I believe do not share my aims or values, people I believe are likely to behave dangerously, violently, disruptively, like thugs, and shoplifters or who will destroy the functional value or private amenity of the organization – surely that is not only my right, it is moreover THE DUTY OF GOVERNMENT TO HELP ME TO PRESERVE AND EXERCISE THAT RIGHT.
The Libertarian appeal of this might seem attractive, however there are many things that a lot of people hold as being equally true:
• that segregation has almost always meant that the majority – or quite often a powerful minority – has secured for itself the lion’s share of resources, wealth, and desirable lifestyle freedoms
• and as a corollary, the disenfranchised minority (or majority) are kept in subjugation by the exercise of political or even military force, and most effectively, precisely by the act of segregation
• that discrimination of a class of people based on race, sex, nationality, sexual preference, religion – or whatever – is not a legitimate way to run a well-ordered and peaceful society, and such discriminatory practices are not compatible with a liberal democracy
• and that “private” businesses, clubs, schools, housing, churches, and a thousand other places of work or association do rely to a great extent on what “society” has provided them – either through taxpayer funds, or a myriad of other resources and benefits that they have not had to pay for
Anyway – in the real world there are thousands of housing estates, hotels, workplaces, beaches, bars, country clubs – and much else – where de facto segregation works day in and day out.
So no – I don’t think anyone gets a free pass on the grounds that free association can exclude whomever a group wants … churches for example have done that for centuries, claiming a special status to discriminate fiercely against all manner of minorities.
You may not believe that a baker should be forced to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, on religious or any other grounds, but I think in a decent society most people don’t agree with you.
ur response is wrong in so many ways:
The argument is not libertarian, you idiot. It is constitutional. It is saying that the government has an obligation to protect citizen rights without favor.
How is this for a stupid, self-contradicting, have-it-both-ways attempt at argument:
“that segregation has almost always meant that THE MAJORITY – or quite often A POWERFUL MINORITY – has secured for itself the lion’s share of resources, wealth, and desirable lifestyle freedoms”
HAHHA. “almost always” or “quite often”. Why don’t you hedge a little more?
So which is it, a majority or a minority? Get your story straight, you cretin.
Then “the disenfranchised minority (or majority)” My god, which is it? Make your mind up.
You state a mere opinion that something “is not a legitimate way to run a well-ordered and peaceful society,” – but that is not an argument, you pathetic fool. It is mere assertion. You argue like a child.
The argument that “wealth comes from somewhere” (certainly not from government and even more certainly not from the worst people in our society) is pointless. Make the point. Don’t just leave them out there dangling with no point.,
Unsupported assertion with no attached point: In the real world every day there is de facto segregation.
Do you mean that every day in the real world whites and asians strive to avoid the depredations and social damage of blacks. Yes, that would be true. What of it? You don’t want people making free decisions or protectng themselves from damage and danger? (Of course you don’t, you are an envious, unsuccessful and destructive person)
“So I don’t tinkanyone gets a free pass”: Again, what is this supposed to mean? Who cares what you “think” (feel, repeat like an NPC)? This is not any kind of argument or “point”.,
Grow up. Be an adult. Use your brain. Learn to make an argument.
Please don’t again comment on my comments from here on in. You are too stupid to bother discussing anything with.

To enjoin an argument without the use of pejoratives and/or ad hominems is an act of discipline. Lack of discipline is rarely respected by educated adults.
Seems to me very reasonable descriptives. Very unfortunate for you that you see them as “pejoratives and/or ad hominems”. Says more about you than it does about Kim, it seems to me.
“Says more about you than it does about Kim, it seems to me.”
Mofo,
Yes, yes it does. Thank you.
Yea she took someone to task who has way to large of an opinion about their own opinions.
Good on her he is the definition of an idiot and was removed for being such.
Please don’t again comment on my comments from here on in. You are too stupid to bother discussing anything with.
I get this feeling that you don’t agree with me.
However I maintain the position that is germane to my post above: “free association” is not a tool by which you can justify segregation, or discrimination on a wide range of protected characteristics.
If you don’t agree with that, then go and argue your case in the Supreme Court – where they have ruled over many decades hat the Constitution guarantees a wide range of rights that you want to see abolished.
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
Why were you banned from CFN, and why are you back under a new name?
It’s not “free association” you halfwit, it’s “freedom of association”. They are two entirely different things.
Apparently, your head is made of concrete. Nothing seems to penetrate.
Kaka Man has been banned for trolling and is a verified race-baiter.
His final sentence sums up his sad post, the crux of which is based on nothing more than an opinion.
A baker living in a free society bakes for whoever he chooses. There is no law requiring him to bake a cake for anyone he does no want to bake a cake for.
Do not feed the troll.
A baker living in a free society bakes for whoever he chooses. There is no law requiring him to bake a cake for anyone he does no want to bake a cake for.
I suggest you check settled law, comrade … you cannot discriminate against a customer on the basis of a protected characteristic – sexual orientation is one of them.
I am an Australian … I shouldn’t have to lecture native Americans on their own jurisprudence! 🙂
A baker living in a free society bakes for whoever he chooses.
A person living in a free society expects every bakery to provide a service – even if the customer is black, brown, gay, atheist, or one-legged. That is a really free society.
“A person living in a free society expects every bakery to provide a service – even if the customer is black, brown, gay, atheist, or one-legged. That is a really free society.”
Playing with language again, I see?
“Expects”
In a free society, the *law* does not force anyone to bake for anyone for whom they don’t want to bake.
So, again, why are you back after the ban?
Why don’t the gays ever go to Muslim or Jewish bakeries for their “weddings”? Spread the gaiety.

Someone mentioned Bernie Sanders idea of free money for college
education.
ME___his wife helped run a school. it went broke. the Sanders got rich.
Yet the guy and his wife bought a very expensive house right after losing the primaries.
Did the money come from a pay for leaving quietly or ill gotten gains from his wife ripping off said college?
The Sanders family deserves a solid investigation into their finances.
Swine Flu Pandemic On The Way?: https://americanyellowvest.wpcomstaging.com/2020/06/30/swine-flu-pandemic-on-the-way/
WINTER IN TEL AVIV, Jan 4th 2020.
https://youtu.be/8CZ8y5IV938
_
I love the soundtrack on this one btw. It was a fun walk too. Did you see that building with the strange architecture at about 25:00? For whatever reason it made me think of M.C. Escher.
That building was built in the 90s. It was a strange trend in architecture then to build surrealistic buildings and we got some examples of that. Most Israeli building stock is very old and rundown Soviet style communals. Until about the 90s, the socialist government was the main builder and supplier of mortgages. People were basically housed in cheap affordable housing. This allowed an almost 100% home ownership rate. After 40+ years these buildings are falling apart and are being replaced with nice mid rise buildings. The old owners get and new lager apartment and the developers get very cheap land to build on. A win-win for all. Almost. The new apartments now cost 2x to 3x more than the old, and new couples have a very hard time affording them.
Of course! Newer and better is always more expensive. Is this leading to people relocating outside of the main city to find more affordable housing? That sounds like the same trend in a way that has been going on here.
Yes, exactly. The center of the country is becoming too expensive and couples with kids are moving to the more periphery satellite towns. This higher density has now allowed the simultaneous construction of 4 subways lines in the greater Tel Aviv metro area and the upgrade of rail lines between cities, so that people can live in Haifa for example where prices are 40% cheaper and be within a 40min commute to an office in Tel Aviv. We’re also seeing a massive exodus of businesses relocating into the periphery so that in many cases even that commute becomes unnecessary. I think overall the urban renewal program in Israel has been very successful, although rather slow. But it’s now starting to up some pace.
My God that was filmed in the winter? A nice place to spend the winter then. Reminds me ofTorremolinos in southern Spain, where my wife’s cousin has a small hotel and restaurant, without the overwhelming crowds tho, but then again both places are in the Mediterrenean. Paul Theroux in his book ‘Pillars of Hercules’, comments Israel has an ‘uncrowded’ feel about it, similar to what Mark Twain said in the 1880s. You know Akmofo I always figured Israel was embattled and stressed as a result of being always under siege, but the videos you have posted prove otherwise. Israel appears calm, orderly, prosperous.
Brh
The rainy season is from mid January to mid February. And when it rains it rains!
Israel has practically no petty street crime. No property thefts, no drunks, no bar brawls, no gang shootings, nothing of that sort. You can safely walk anywhere at any time of day and night. If you lose a wallet or your smart phone and someone else found it, you can be sure every effort will be made to have it returned to you ASAP. Most all of the criminality is really by Vatican sponsored racist Jihadists, and the security agencies are very good at keeping it check.
keeping it ^in^ check

#CoronaHoax
CoronaHoax? You can’t even link to something that might be the slightest bit coherent. How ridiculous.
Why have you returned after being banned?
Oh. Coherence is important? To be honest with you, when Dr. Fauxci adjusted his belt and pants so publicly I felt a wave of patriarchal oppression sweep over me.
Oklahoma is now seeing 100% positivity to its Covid-19 testing … following Trump’s total failure of a rally in Tulsa. He is a fail on just about ground you can think of. What a goose he is!
From Trump on down, no coherent plan, no leadership, in fighting this virus. A truly murderous and abject failure on many levels, including the American public. The irresponsibility, selfishness and bullshit bravado of the no mask contingent has made things a lot worse. Politics at the top, death and illness at the bottom.
This was so easy to predict. A terrible tragedy that is going to get much worse.
The infection numbers have gone up as testing has gone up. Deaths have gone way down, and were never high to begin with, outside of places where they put Corona victims into nursing homes.
The mask comedy is just that — comedy. You can put anything on your face that you like according to the authorities, because the masks are symbolic only. Doktor Faust himself told us that we (you?) wear them out of solidarity.
Wear your cotton rag with pride.
#CoronaHoax
Well, I have the TV news on here right now, and every story is a hair raising one about some aspect of Covid-19, the only deviation being laudatory segments on the removal of Columbus monuments, blips on yet more people shot in the ‘community’ in Hartford and New Haven, and more BLM protests in small Ct towns with virtually no black residents. (which apparently makes them even more praiseworthy)
Two weeks ago Covid-19 wasn’t even mentioned, it was wall to wall George Floyd coverage, with reports of righteous looting and burning, which incidentally, we had coming.
It seems like one big orchestrated propaganda campaign. I mean there’s no official Ministry of Propaganda here, but there might as well be. What’s the difference?
Brh
The hoax nature was obvious as soon as Fauci said wear a mask for solidarity and told us a cotton rag was ok.
Once they greenlighted massive protests during the CRISIS, it was just comedy.
Yeah, I wear the cotton rag, if for nothing else to protect me from being assailed by zealots.
Death rates lag infection rates dufus. Check back with us in 2-3 weeks. Yes and my 54 year old friend can’t play a round of golf from the lung scarring right now. So shove your hoax up your pie hole.
let’s do this, check back in 3 weeks. death rate will have continued to drop with testing verifying mild case after mild case.
sorry about your friend. but it sounds like you mention his age expecting it to sound very young. coronavirus checks and balances “rising tide of life expectancy” pipe dreams.
Point is that he isn’t old or young. I do agree that mortality rate will drop as testing increases, and more cases are in the younger (no cares) demo. Hospital admissions are spiking right now. Deaths will surely accelerate but not at the same rate as active cases. But the rate of death will remain far higher than yearly influenza waves. And clearly asymptomatic transmission is a huge problem that will take the virus from younger cases to their older relatives. This is not a hoax. And by saying that you do a major disrespect to healthcare professionals putting in emotionally fraught and back breaking hours as well as those who have lost loved one due to the simpleton and conflicting policy decisions of this government.
much respect to workers at any swamped hospitals, but the massive resources that funded lockdown could have created endless pristine pop-up care facilities if we had chosen to fight the virus with immune systems rather than hopeless silly effort to prevent the unpreventable .. my opinion.
Rember cbills, much of it is theater. Other hospitals were/are all but empty with skeleton crews. If the “heroic nurses” in the Covid hospitals are overworked, then why don’t theygive the laid off nurses some of their shifts. If the Covid ICU’s are overwhelmed, make another Covid hospital or two.
Please remember, people are tired, unhappy, and overworked to begin with. Desperate emergency is the default setting of much of Ameirca. Women love drama and are good at the water works. Put a mic in front of their face in front of a camera – and it’s a Go.
Have you even begun to calculate the deaths that will come from the lack of medical care because of the shut down? Procedures not done and tests not taken? The massive wave of homelessness and death from that? The mental health crisis? The pent up energy and leisure that is the fuel for the Marxist coup?
There is so much you aren’t looking at….
Oh yeah, and the hundreds of thousands of densely packed marxists and black supremacists “protesters” all across the country didn’t spread coronahoax at all! You fail once again kakapoo man.
You can throw your turds against the cage walls all you like, but your “what aboutery” is plainly ridiculous; the rally in Tulsa was probably a super-spreader inside event – but worse, it was almost a cultist “red badge of courage” to go it, not social distance, not wear a mask.
But of course, basic protective measures against the virus are only for poofters and commies. And it’s all a Dem hoax anyway.
“What aboutery” – any attempt to form an argument against their dictums.
Yes that is the only weapon they have. They can’t win in actual debates.
What paragon reporting virtue did you glean this news item from?
100% infection rate sounds more like a faulty test kit to me.
But hey that would take away from your standard mission of orange man bad right?
You talk about a failed rally and then squeal about massive infection rates but you can’t have it both ways.
Once again your post does not pass the smell test well none of them do because you are full of it.
All true. Actions required:

This is satire from the web site Anti-Empire:
“Hillary Clinton announced she already wrote Joe Biden‘s eulogy for his upcoming COVID-related death.
“This is the exact kind of preparation you should expect from the next President,” Clinton told reporters from deep inside the New York woods. “Did I mention I’m a woman yet?”
“Joe and I are friends that go back a long time,” said Clinton. “It will be hard when he dies, but I’m used to people I work with conveniently dying.”
The former Secretary of State guided reporters around the forest trails. “It’s a great speech too,” she said. “Pollsters told me not to mention our common mentor Robert Byrd, but my speech writers nailed it.”
“I’m having trouble deciding if Joe Biden should succumb to COVID before or after Labor Day,” Clinton told reporters as her handlers carried her down a step. “I have a white pantsuit I’m considering wearing for my nomination speech.”
Former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz confirmed the eulogy. “I can’t wait. This speech will really bring the nation together, just as she would as President,” said Wasserman Schultz. “Did I mention she’s a woman yet?”
In the meantime, Clinton plans to keep busy.
“I’m already working on my election victory speech,” said Clinton. “Did I mention I’m a woman yet?”

The Left has lied about environmentalism for a long time. Real conservationists are usually right leaning, rural hunters. Lefties in the big cities are the biggest pollution vectors in the world and thus the most massive of all hypocrites.
Sorry, that’s just an unfounded prejudice. I can see that you want to put down city dwellers, because it’s one of your things, but we’re the ones who use public transport and have much lower per capita heating requirements.
https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16819-city-dwellers-harm-climate-less/
‘RIght leaning rural hunters’ don’t tend to go everywhere on foot. They have big, energy-hungry vehicles to go everywhere. And generally more than one per family.

You’ll get the pleasure of watching us starve, in due course. That should be enough delight for you without making stuff up about us as well.
So ridiculous its not even worth consideration or a response. You really are a smear campaign.
Read your original post again. Note the tone, along with the complete lack of factual accuracy. That shows an unpleasant agenda. One might call it a smear campaign.
And yet it is so easy to look things up before you commit them to the Interwebz as ‘fact’.
“The most massive of all hypocrites’.
Yeah, read that bit again and then look back at the New Scientist article with the truth in it. But smearing me is so much easier than saying, OK, I got that wrong, I take back the really smeary bit.
Glascow is doomed to become a Muslim protectorate. You will step out of the way of Muslims on the street, get up to offer them your seat on the bus etc, a la the Rules of Omar, a popular behavioral guide to ruling dhimmis. Shariah Law at the level of rules for everyday life.

You Scots are spelling Glasgow wrong. Correct way: Glascow.
i’ve lived in rural usa, east coast north and south for 20 years, and agree, real rural culture is rarely conservationist in any way, but neither are cities. And now neither party is in any way either.
Some cities are very good at conserving energy. But pointing at each other and saying ‘your tribe uses more of everything than my tribe’ doesn’t get us anywhere. We all need to be consuming less – not just consuming in greenwashed fashion.
It goes without saying that there will be less pollution when a whole bunch of us have disappeared – although maybe that will depend on what happens to all those nuclear power plants when there’s no-one there to maintain them.
Without “the Left” there would be no environmentalism – just about every environmental issue since the Torrey Canyon in 1967 has been fought and won by folks being active in cities.
Right-leaning hunters are just hyped-up, over-equipped five-year-old weekend warriors who drive huge trucks, wreck bushland, leave beer cans and crap everywhere … all for the totally cowardly “pleasure” of killing Bambi’s mother. Pah!
yeah, but the left, after 3 decades of corporatizing it and watering it down to nothing, has now abandoned it completely because it’s not populist enough.
most environmentally beneficial thing going on in usa right now might be efforts to reduce immigration imo
yeah, but the left, after 3 decades of corporatizing it and watering it down to nothing, has now abandoned it completely because it’s not populist enough.
There’s certainly some truth in that … back in the 1970s, environmental and conservation groups were headed by guys with beards and sandals, or earnest hippie chicks in big frocks. Now they’re run by suits earning $200K.
But still – we have a great deal to be thankful for … I have watched the Australia of my lifetime go from pretty dirty and polluted to far far cleaner: farms, forests, beaches, rivers, national parks, the oceans, the cities, and the air.
Cars are better and much cleaner, and so are buildings, buses, machines, planes, and ships. Recycling is everywhere.
All done by lefties living in major cities … not by good ol’ boys in check shirts roaring around in dirty pick-ups persecuting defenceless furry mammals.
this is the exact problem, you here, the left, and the educated right all sound lock-step-unison like prozac-ed-up stephen pinker on environment (which leads to energy). Imo it’s the # 1 disconnect. And if the left wants to claim environmentalism as their territory, i blame them more.
“Without the left there would be no environmentalism”
Let us then examine the environmental record of the Soviet Union, Red China, NKorea and Communist Rumania and Albania.
Next move on to to the filthy, disease ridden streets of lefty sh#tholes like Los Angeles and San Francisco, with tens of thousands of homeless and piles of human feces everywhere, IV needles, and the accumulation of every virus in human history.
There’s your lefty environmentalism, Cargill.

See my post above for an explanation of what “environmentalism” is actually about. The broken society you have created leads to the problems you identify in your big cities. Chickens have come home.
Don’t tell him that Nixon created the EPA.
LOL.
Don’t tell him that Nixon created the EPA.
No need … I know that history reasonably well – and the push from Congress came in the form of Democrats mostly – principally Henry Jackson and George Miller.
There was a lot of pressure right through the late 60s and 1970s to legislate on the environment … the Environmental Protection Agency was a belated creation by Nixon (when he knew which way the wind was blowing) – but the overwhelming pressure for such a response was from urban lefties.
If Nixon hadn’t approved the EPA, there might have been something substantially more robust put in place not long afterwards.
Thank you for confirming the fact that you did not know.
LOL.
Sniff sniff there you go again being full of shit.
What happened to the tons of splendid booty looted from 10,000 shops coast to coast just a few weeks ago? Where is it? Is it being shared fairly and equitably in ‘Communities’, passed around to the troops like soldiers pay? Or is it being hoarded. It was one hell of a shopping spree and there must be enough flat screen TVs and pairs of sneakers out there to last a year. I was told if I want a new flatscreen just check out Craigslist, no questions asked. Plenty of jewelry stores and pawn shops looted too, in fact they were the first targets. Few escaped. (One in the Bronx, particularly tragic, elderly Korean couple beat nearly to death) You’ll be seeing an array of shiney new baubles proudly being sported around the Community just in time for summer.
Brh
I know, I know, the looting was 2-3 weeks ago, ancient history. Get over it. For now in NYC it’s more mundane activities, not as exhilarating, but fun nevertheless, like yesterday, when the 64 yo lady was body slammed and robbed in Brooklyn, or a few days ago, on 2nd Ave, when 92 yo woman was cold cocked by an esteemed Community Member. Her head split open when it hit a fire hydrant. When your punched like that you stay punched — for the rest of your life, which in her case won’t be long.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been saying, a new religion, with George Floyd as the Messiah, and the Aubrey Brooks in Atlanta as John the Baptist.
Much was made of the Brooks chap being shot by Atlanta police a week before Father’s Day, he had 4 kids after all. What nobody mentioned was Brooks was convicted of ‘Cruelty to Children’, and Spousal Abuse, IOW he beat the sh#t out of his whole family. He also had more than two DUI convictions.
George Floyd a heroin addict and home invasion artist, Brooks a violent felon, a religion based on those two characters won’t last too long.
Brh
Oh but you see, gods are just as violent and crazy as human beings. Look at the ancient pantheons. In fact, its clear that this new religion also glorifies criminality generally.

Has the audio of the mother and young daughter trapped in their car with BLM jumping on the hood and cursing them. The mother calls the cops and is told by the dispatcher that there is nothing they can do because this is a “sanctioned event” and the officers have to stand down. If she has any complaints, she can call city hall!
Later the Police did step in to stop a riot. The mayor apologized about that to the protesters the next day. She never apologized to the mother and child, though the police are now investigating. Spread this one far and wide, make this evil mayor pay. Vicksburg, Va.
I think he’s right: our America is never coming back. We’re fumbling while the Enemy rolls out their game plan. It can’t be happening we mentally scream – but it is.
The time for any potential reconciliation was over a long time ago really. But unfortunately conservatives and trad Americans are for some reason just now mass waking up to that fact. There can be no negotiation or accomodation. These people do not want us to exist period. The election and whatever happens with it is actually irrelevant at this point.
I believe it is Fredericksburg, VA.
Except perhaps as their slaves:

“Allyship” is simply slavery. Whatever we give will not be enough because our very existence is unbearable to them.
You did not consider the context. This piece was written by someone virtue signaling her acceptance as one of the chosen to others of the chosen. Consider the original, it was published in the opinion section of the Guardian. It was written by affluence to be consumed by affluence.
You confabulated some upper class London shit in an Guardian OP/ED column with a Cornpone, VA snowflake.
It’s all in your head Fred.
It is funny that this term is used. At the large international firm I use for, we have a screen saver on our company comps now that uses this exact terminology in the globalist/corpro-fasicst context.
The McRevolution.
Use should be work. But I guess I do use them.
LOL.
One thing missing. Pictures of dents on the car. Other than that this is some damn fine propaganda. Goebbels would approve. A distressed Karen and a little girl. A premium heartstring song. The part about her flipping the bird at the protestors with her left hand while holding the phone with her right not mentioned.
Very well done, a blurb of police all across the land not stepping up to serve the public in the burbs and a Jennie Durkin look alike.
And wait there is more!
The link is very well written.
David Codrea writes well, a nice easy flow. A similar style to your’s Vlad. When you have had your Wheaties and are firing on all cylinders that is. Davids’ blatant lies meld into his word souffle like a dish served by the finest chief. Like you Janos at your high water mark or with the excitement of an agitated wolf jumping at a bunch of grapes just out of reach. Which must now become sour.
She pushed into the crowd and they rocked her car on the springs. Her child got upset because she was upset. Turning it into news. Genius!
“Karen” – that’s hate talk, preppy. The enemy is in your head. And as far as the article goes – I’ve read many people who talk this way and even met a few. It’s what is being said everywhere now a la the book, “White Fragility”. If you don’t approve, well what can I say? Older and/or rigid revolutionaries are always shouldered aside by those who are younger, more nimble, and more committed. It’s not easy to keep up with those vagaries of untruth known as the dialectic or the “Will of the People”. Good thing you’re staying home.
You and I both know she flipped them off.
Well that’s a good reason to terrorize them then. When a driver in another car flips me off I fly immediately into a rage and attempt to pass the perp, slip directly in front and hit the brakes.
I grab my Taurus judge off the floor and pop off a few rounds of 0-0 through the windshield just to be sure I’ve made my point.
Flipping others off is rude, insensitive, and depending on the complexion of the Other, maybe even racist.
She should be ashamed of herself.
Is it illegal to flip people off?
Is it now legal to get violent as a result of a hand gesture if so I have a few people on my list for a serious beat down. Alas it is not so we will have to settle for calling them a few choice words back or even better ignoring their anger for me driving the speed limit and not running stop signs.
Your argument appears to be in favor of the mob rule in which case look out that mob gets hungry in anarchy and the first things to get poached and eaten are dogs and cats just ask Venezuela who is now on rats and soon each other.
An enlightened ‘mob’ if you will/must, will, in anarchy– not, say, the MSM/governpimp/indoctrinatory definitional kind– will regroup where required and help each other out as equals like in a real community, which many have lost in the place of token and/or pseudo-communities and the so-called nanny state.
Unfortunately, the chaos and collapse that the state appears to often, if not always, inevitably lead to creates some disillusion, dust and disorder before that happens and, say, green anarchy and/or permaculture, etc., takes root and maybe renders a better life for everyone involved– at least those who are not ‘so lost unto the state’.
BTW, real men do not need leaders to paraphras Edward Abbey, and I agree.
Classic liberal tactic in the dismissal of crime. They rocked her car. That’s it. You say this after the fact, assuming the stance of an omniscient narrator. She didn’t know what was going to happen, thus her terror. It could have easily become something far more. That happens too. No compassion for women and children. Always astonishing to see, but I’ve seen so it often in you people so I’m not surprised.
The “distressed Karen and little girl”. You mean a young mother with her daughter in a car surrounded by people who will never respect anyone else’s rights? And so flipping the bird justifies property damage and intimidation? You proved Sredni’s and my points without us having to do anything. Clearly a victim of violent Marxist and black supremacist agitators and rioters is no victim at all in your estimation. That is exactly what the broadcast message is from the higher ups and you are simply a voice for the established elite. You are completely outed at this point.

All just more fear-porn nonsense from the far right, to froth up the Trumpy base … making huge sweeping statements about the end of white picket-fence America, based on one incident. Nothing to see here.
And where does all this snowflake white fragility come from? When did white supremacy morph into white victimhood? Enquiring minds would like to know.
In other words, Whites can’t be victimized by Black criminality? Or are you saying they can and it’s not victimization because they deserve it? Which is it, hater? The first is obviously wrong and makes you a moron. The second is evil. So choose.
The American Empire is toast, the American nation might survive.
Be Careful What You Wish For
I’ve said this since that crime lord Bush I invaded Panama. Wishes have nothing do with it.
FTR I’ll be honest with you, your side’s paranoid, drug fueled, violent fringe is necessary, ain’t pretty but deep down those losers have a point. Your side’s political reps are also doing the necessary work, someone who will in the end be over rode by your party’s financiers a Lee on the house defense committee called for a 300 Billion cut to the DoD, This. A good start I’d say and not something my stupid party could propose.
Now here is a specter that hovers over all of us, the billions in Dark Money the IC like Brennan shuffle about from big tech to shady assassins and of course the political class such as the Cheneys/Bidens and the Clintons.
Well, let’s not get carried away here. There’s a future out there somewhere that includes North America. We just don’t quite know what it is yet. Given recent coziness between the Saudis and the world’s largest oil importer — China — it may very well portend trouble for the petrodollar. Used to be if you got Chinese money all you could buy with it was the equivalent of those umbrellas you put in sweet cocktails. My how things have changed, China Money buys all sorts of goodies, even precision-manufactured serious stuff for serious business.
But doom and gloom we resist! If anything, the dollar will outlast the nation, if only by a day or two.
No cars, motorbikes, cement trucks, or taxis roll down my rural street the past few minutes. Just a few crazy arpeggios from a warbling vireo. Bluebells and begonias wave lazily in the breeze. The small tongues of birch leaves vibrate against the blue sky.
I’m told that “silence is violence”. Obviously, I live in a racist community.
The English countryside has been called a racist white environment. It’s on BBC. You live in a white environment and that is really racist!
Yes, I read that. Also, in Canada some months back, an article was actually written that said Blacks were afraid to go into the countryside to camp and hike. They were too craven to come right out and state that they thought Blacks were in danger of being dry-gulched by racist Whites. Satire is dead these days because it’s redundant.
The English countryside has been called a racist white environment. It’s on BBC. You live in a white environment and that is really racist!
Have you driven through Britain and Ireland – there are whole swathes of beautiful rural idyll where almost no black people live – but guess what – there are no urban working class people either!
It’s not primarily an issue about race – it’s mostly an issue about class – who has the money, and how they’ve had it for generations. But it’s not racist in the segregationist / supremacist way that those terms are used and abused every day by the rabid on here … a millionaire soccer player or businessman can buy a country manor.
Has anyone ever seen an actual white or black person before? I haven’t.
The idea of dividing and conquering through sociopolitical categorization springs to mind.
Have you ever seen a German Shepherd or a Golden Retriever? As Spock said, the beauty of the universe is in its infinite diversity. How perverse to destroy this diversity by the ideology of mixing – and to then call it diversity.
Sure, given enough time and spacial isolation, we can have entirely new species, where each individual looks relatively the same, except perhaps to each other in all their subtle and not-so-subtle idiosyncracies and whatnot… which dovetails with the idea of diversity within apparently homogenous mixes.
In any case, while I think I have seen both of those dogs, I still have not seen someone entirely white, nor black. We are all apparently from Africa in any case and, as such, maybe one could say, all ‘black under the hood’.
If you want to be a new species, Sredni, it might take you awhile yet.
Our African ancestors weren’t Negroes. I hope you realize that. The Negroes arose later, probably in Central or Western Africa. Our Ancestors came from East or Southeast Africa. Specifically, the Negro genome contains “a ghost species” which is not in our genome. So it’s not just my theory, or A theory – but an established fact.
The Ghost species? My guess is one of the races of Homo Erectus whose late tenancy overlapped with ours in some places.
Sredni, apparently we all share a common ancestry stemming from Africa.
I simply think that that’s a good, unifying, solidarity sort of thing to keep in mind, especially in these times, yes?
Apropos everything BUSHWICK — a film from 2017- is now on Amazon. My wife learned of it from NYT article on Movies off the beaten track. Kinda depicts what might happen on the streets when TSHTF for real. In this case an attempted invasion of Bushwick (That’s Brooklyn NYC) by… ah I cannot give away the plot, which is thin enough. It grossed $79,000 world wide and was roundly panned by the critics.
The critics absolutely missed the meaning: it was a camp depiction of civil war, circa 2017. I have rarely laughed so hard than at the final attempts of the remaining protagonists to make it through to the DMZ. Instead of pitchforks imagine lacrosse sticks — or, what nearly caused my heart to stop — a silhouette running with a tennis racket as small arms fire crackles about, the female lead lying on the ground, just shot dead. There’s more but I dare not go any further.
Prediction:
Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” will be George Floyd.
2020 will be named “The Year of the Black.”
way out on that limb
A lot of candidates.
Jenny Durkan, Robin DiAngelo, Bill De Blasio, Lori Lightfoot.
They’ll not want to offend by overlooking anyone, though, so my prediction is that they’ll give it to everyone active with, or sympathetic to, Black Lives Matter.
Don’t forget Aubrey Brooks — John the Baptist. He’s in the running too.
No way his past is to checkered.
Well, ladies and germs;
The glorious 4th will shortly be upon us. A weekend. Any bets as to whether or not it will be glorious? Perhaps Vibrant? Maybe Sporty?
Will Chicago break the heretofore unassailable 30 killed on one day? Maybe 150 aggregate shot and killed over the holidays? If I were a betting man, I would wager that… that the police in Chicago care not a rat’s ass…and neither do I.
If every gang member in that blighted shit hole were killed tomorrow, the air would be cleaner, the sun brighter, the streets safer, and I would recognize the event as a valid argument for the existence of God….
My attitude is not improving….
Why is Chicago the worst place for Black violence, any idea? Is it some kind of Blood/Crips thing, or is that passe?
We used to have a female poster who loved Chicago with a passion. What has happened to her?!!?
Sredni,
Why? Probably no more than a simple arithmetic progression…more population, more deviance.
Linear.
That’s the thing, E. 100-150 shot in a single weekend, yet the following Monday, another 45 are shot. Like I said before at some point you’d think everybody who could be shot, has been shot. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, candidates keep stepping up, legions of them, week after week, month after month without any let up. It beggars explanation!
It makes Black Lives Matter a joke. Black Lives Matter? In Chicago, Baltimore and St Louis — to name just a few sh#tholes — black life is cheap.
Brh
Black lives aren’t cheap. What you are seeing is just the market setting a realistic price.
“What you are seeing is just the market setting a realistic price.”
Kim,
…Well said.
How did Catastrophic Plate Tectonics cause Noah’s Flood? – Dr. Andrew Snelling
https://youtu.be/yrKw5Xq5UQ4
_
The conventional Vatican Darwinian Satanic model is being popped like the sick ugly zit that it is.
How did Catastrophic Plate Tectonics cause Noah’s Flood?
They did not. The last two significant plate tectonic events were (1) when the Indian subcontinent plowed into Asia and caused the Himalayas to form, and the planet to cool, and (2) when North America joined South America at Panama, drastically changing ocean patterns, particularly in relation to the Gulf Stream.
But both of these events occurred millions and millions of year before the advent of modern human beings – including Noah.
If you actually watched the program, you’d know that what you’re talking about is complete bullshit. Carbon dating has been shown to be completely false. It’s dating rocks that we know we’re just recently formed as being millions of years old. It’s complete nonsense.
rocks that we know were just recently formed
What puzzles me – it certainly doesn’t interest me, but it puzzles me – is why you YEC nuts are so passionate about proving the world was formed just 6000 years ago. What is the point of this mystical belief?
Enquiring minds would like to know comrade 🙂
Why? TRUTH!
Something you obviously don’t care much for. The only thing you Commies care for is power. Power to bring about your criminal enterprise. That’s fundamentally what you guys are — criminals. Lying and suppression and murder is just a means to your thieving. That’s really the bottom line for all you Commies, regardless of how you market yourselves. Fascists Socialists Nazis Progressives Romanists Communists Corporatists Imperialists, it’s all the same thieving hustle.

“Beware of what you wish for”
From David Pakman:
“A Republican Party operative told Fox News that Donald Trump is in an extremely fragile state and that he may drop out of the 2020 presidential race. Fox Business reporter Charlie Gasparino posted on Twitter that “Republican operatives are for the first time raising the possibility that Trump could drop out of the race if his poll numbers don’t rebound over the weekend.” The President has been trailing significantly in the polls recently, behind Joe Biden by as many as 14 percentage points.”
Probably a similar technique used by President Tweet, announcing someone’s resignation to that person’s surprise.
Mike Pence is even more wooden and dull than Uncle Joe … plus he’s too beholden to the happy-clappers and snake-charmers.
Here’s “Uncle Joe” recently. I have no affection for the guy but he’s not as fucked-in-the-head as President Dumbfuckery:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYWMSoPNKiI
There is some discussion going on that quid pro quo joe is playing possum out of fear that he will be sent to trial for his very real abuse of power as VP in Ukraine.
You know the very shit they accused President Donald J. Trump of doing.

Wake up maj do you really want to be part and parcel to the destruction of this country?
Mike Pence is very quiet the rest of your bigotry is not worth commenting on.
More disinformation.
Or should I say
More disinformation disseminated by foreign provocateurs.
“…foreign provocateurs.”
gee, marlin. Do you have to check under your bed every night?
Is cacadoo not by hos own words a foreigner attempting over throw of a dully elected president in word and deed?
Tell us we are wrong and if so how?
Joe McCarthy appears to have been correct Communist have taken over the media, education, monied interests, and large foundations like kellogs, ford, rockefeller, open society.
I like the idea of a ‘dully’ elected president. Elections are all presentation and little substance these days. 🙂
benr:
“.. attempting over throw…”
Even for you, benr, that’s just getting RIDICUOUS.
But wait, there’s more!
“There is an absolutely stunning new report from a longtime investigative journalist, Carl Bernstein, about what is going on behind the scenes with Donald Trump. One account is that Trump is completely “delusional” on the basis of a bunch of different phone calls he’s had with world leaders. The second account is that Trump’s phone calls with world leaders actually represent a security threat. Multiple sources described Trump as bullying and belittling allies while fawning over autocratic leaders. Trump’s behavior was said to be so unusual and erratic that it convinced senior administration officials that the President was “delusional.”
While it is important to stress that these are only allegations, they certainly fit with who we know Trump to be. If George W. Bush was said to be bonding with dictators and bragging to them about his business experience, I don’t think I would believe it. Bush was a horrible president, but that’s not who he was. Trump is that kind of president, and that’s why Bernstein’s reporting rings true.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV3x6An4Z0s
sorry, only rational thing left to do is just believe 0% of media trump info and go wit ya gut
I’ve seen Bernstein’s past appearances on TV regards Trump. Bernstein is a discredited buffoon and has a clear case of TDS. Likely he’s a paid propaganda agent of China.
Trump is going to clobber China with sanctions and when he’s done China will not be able to show its commie imperialist face anywhere around the globe. They’ll be finished!
akmofo
Oh, please. Get a grip.
China like Russia like the DNC like the Vatican are run like a criminal enterprise. Because that is essentially and fundamentally what them communist thievedoms are.
*blahblahblah*. You keep saying the same thing – why bother?
I tell the truth while you constantly tell lies and shill for commie liars and criminals. Now why would you do that, Jelly? Why would anyone be shilling for commie liars and criminals? It’s not that complicated to explain.
There you go again.
LOL.
More quality journalism. Regurgitated by our resident dunce.

What a wanker.
Of a sudden, the GOP’s 53-47 Senate majority could — theoretically — lose 10 members. Maine, Colorado, Arizona and North Carolina are acknowledged problems. But Georgia (which has two seats open this year because Sen. Johnny Isakson resigned for health reasons), Iowa, and Montana are newer problems, and the GOP has a uniquely weak likely nominee in Kansas. If Trump stirs a wave of repudiation, even Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell, Texas’ John Cornyn or South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham could get wet.
The 2022 Senate map is worse for Republicans. Iowa’s Chuck Grassley will be 89, Pennsylvania’s Pat Toomey wants to run for governor, and North Carolina’s Richard Burr must explain stock trades possibly based on inside information about coronavirus. Democrats need to defend just 12 seats, all in blue strongholds.
The worst part for the GOP is that old white guys — those of whom Trump said, “I love the poorly educated” — still dominate the party. The path to GOP primary victory in 2022 runs through distaste for social norms (like abortion choice and multiculturalism) 40 to 50 years deep in mainstream culture, plus reality denialism. That’s why the GOP is likely to produce more Senate nominees — and a presidential nominee for 2024 — who struggle in November.
Despite Trump’s claims that everything he does is unique, we’ve seen this before. The best example (better even than Herbert Hoover) is 1896, when Democrats nominated William Jennings Bryan to fight for the interests of farmers in a nation turned urban and industrial.
Bryan got buried, and buried every Democratic nominee but one for 36 years, because he was as out of step with America’s turn-of-the-century transformation as Trump is now.
The way the Democrats really killed themselves was nominating Bryan again — in 1900 and 1908 — to make sure no one forgot they were out of touch.
Like Democrats then, Republicans are falling over themselves to be the Trumpiest now, building paper trails to sink Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and for United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley whenever they run for president.
And President Mike Pence? Oh, mother!
Woodrow Wilson.
Trump will cost the Republicans the next 5 or 6 presidential elections.

I wouldn’t count all those chickens too soon, LB.
Trump could still win this thing if a few dominoes fall for him. Stand by for a September-October Surprise, possibly in the form of a concocted Barr-Durham report into the totally debunked Obamagate, targeted at Uncle Joe and others.
Plus we have no real handle on how much the BLM+ protests are going to play out when people vote. There are lots of uncertainties still – plenty of time for unpredictable stuff to happen.
Trump is beating himself. He doesn’t want a second term. I mean duh. What does he have to pull it out at a rally and start wanking it on the crowd? Or take a picture with Ivanka on his lap, only naked this time, and send it out to all evangelicals. The military hates Trump. They call Esper Yesper, because he’s such a kiss ass he dishonors the uniform. If he tries arresting Biden or some other foolishness the military will haul his ass out of the White House and throw that fat ass on the White House lawn. Trump hates being president. Now that nobody goes to the rallies- well you saw his face leaving Marine One If there’s not even that, then there’s nothing he likes anymore.
Trump hates being president. Now that nobody goes to the rallies- well you saw his face leaving Marine One If there’s not even that, then there’s nothing he likes anymore.
I’m not so sure – there is also the possibility that the look on Trump’s face as he left Marine One was one of grim determination not to let another Tulsa happen. But we might well be in the fairly happy position where his Nazi Rallies of 2016 aren’t going to work for him this time.
Delusional Donald. That may be the one.
She is literally calling him the most informed person in the world to explain why he wasn’t informed about something….
Duh! Because it makes sense. You think everything is a concrete and immediate answer upon demand. However life doesn’t often work that way. And besides. We are all finite. Thus there is something that even the most informed person in the world is not informed about.
This is a Trump voter whose eyes havve been opened.

This may give you a littke chuckle.
https://ruinmyweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/karen-memes.png
But this doesn’t make me chuckle because its meant to marginalize. Oh well. Democratic pigs are just that way apparently.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qRomjishviM
And I’m still surprised btw that Kdog says Karen and her little girl should’ve been left to the mob.
It didn’t make me chuckle either. I’m not sure what that video is supposed to show about ‘Democratic pigs’. This woman claims breathing problems and can yell for five minutes?
I liked the comment under a video of her ‘explaining’ later:
Woman: I have breathing problems.
Coronavirus: Hold my beer…
A couple of people said on the last thread that bakers can pick and choose who they bake for. I’m fine with that (or at least the messages on the cakes). Likewise, all shops can choose to serve people who aren’t so far up their own arse that they can’t wear a mask for 10 minutes to oblige the people who work in the shop for shitty pay.
If you don’t like the request to wear a mask, go somewhere else. It’s not rocket science. And it’s not your shop.
She says “democratic pigs” in the video. If shops and stores have the right to not serve people who don’t participate in behaviors they deem acceptable or mandatory then such businesses should simply have the right to not serve people they don’t want to serve period for any reason.
So when the Muslims implement sharia law in Scotland will you be eagerly donning your burka? Do you wear a burka into Muslim owned shops now to oblige their religious sensibilities?
Your second sentence is just plain stupid. Muslims make up 1.4% of the Scottish population. You get your back up sometimes and say stupid things. Fine. I won’t judge you entirely on such a big piece of stupid because not everything you say is as stupid as that.
“Do you wear a burka into Muslim owned shops now to oblige their religious sensibilities?”
Are you completely bonkers? Do you think Muslim shop owners in Scotland are as bonkers as Americans? They don’t even wear burkas themselves. Where do you get this demented tripe?
I’m aware the ignorant, shouty dishonest women (breathing problems but can yell) called them ‘Democrat pigs’. So what did your own sentence mean?
The one that said ‘I suppose Democratic pigs are just that way apparently’, but devoid of any quotation marks?
Because democratic pigs and their allies which include spineless republican scum as well are the cultural Maoists of the day and are doing all things possible to destroy any and all dissent from their non-theistic religious agenda. And they do actively seek to marginalize and destroy opposition. So that is what I am saying and essentially what she is saying as well.
The burka thing was gratuitous but yet also something for you to think about. I know you always say that Muslims are a small percentage of the population in Scotland. But I bet you anything their numbers are growing way faster than native Scots both because of high birth rates and the continuous flow of migration. Maybe you will be lucky enough not to see a Muslim Scotland however today’s toddlers will not be so lucky. And its not just because of the numbers it is also because of how politicians are essentially giving their countries away to the invaders and large segments of the populations openly support it because its very in vogue and PC.
“Maybe you will be lucky enough not to see a Muslim Scotland however today’s toddlers will not be so lucky.”
Stop being ridiculous, please. Get a grip.
When did you last have a chat with anyone in charge of immigration to Scotland? BTW, Asian people are being bumped off by the Covid ‘hoax’ faster than ‘native’ Brits, so that should give you comfort when you freak out about birth rates.
Leaving the first bit of stupid behind…
So, re your first paragraph, what you take from this video of a demented, rude and entitled customer screaming at staff who are being completely polite despite her outrageous behaviour, is something about ‘democratic pigs and their allies which include spineless republican scum as well are the cultural Maoists of the day and are doing all things possible to destroy any and all dissent from their non-theistic religious agenda.
Words fail me.
Mrs Green,
Have you seen fotos of Iranian girls just 50 years ago? They wore miniskirts back then. Today they wear black bags covering from head to toe. The same in Egypt. The same in Syria. The same in Lebanon. Etcetera.
Today Muslims are about 5% of the British population. By 2050 they are projected to account for 13 mil of 66 mil, that’s without accounting for further immigration. That’s already 20% of total. Everywhere where the population of Muslims crossed the 15% threshold, the society quickly descended into permanent decline and Islamization.
You making a very serious mistake judging the future by the present and not taking into account serious historical trends and their consequences, that have repeated themselves over and over again.
It’s NEVER different this time. That’s the first thing you learn about human nature. The second, is always set a stop loss. What’s your stop loss, Mrs Green?
And if this outrageous, ignorant woman happened to have pre-symptomatic Covid, she’d have done an excellent job of projecting the virus over as many people as possible in one small space.
Utterly disgusting behaviour. Thanks for pointing out to me what ‘Karens’ are – I’d never heard of them until a few weeks back, but this one’s an off-the-scale Karenissima.
What a shame someone can’t give her a menial, minimum-wage job for a while and see how she likes serving people just like her.

Yes, that’s exactly what ‘Alba’ said, isn’t it?
Crawl back under your stone, bufonid.

The actual conversation was about an outrageously rude, neurotic and hysterical Karenissima with bells on. But your little girlfriend could turn a conversation about rhubarb crumble into one about Muslims, as could you and your mirror-image buddy, Mr Mofo.
Life isn’t just what we do but what we don’t do. Not just what we say, but what we don’t say, but which the statement implies.
If you say Black Lives Matter and reject All Lives Matter, then you are a Black Supremacist by implication – even if you never say it.
And if you are fine with Muslims being in Britain, and hate those who fight against it (like Tommy Robinson), by implication, you want Muslims in Britain and presumably (unless you are a NIMBY hypocrite, your own city as well. All this without ever saying the actual words. I don’t believe you to be a NIMBYER since you go into local Muslims shoppes, not doubt quite proudly.
NIMBY: Not In My Back Yard
“no doubt quite proudly”
Do you have any idea how dumb that sounds? You really think people watch each other go into corner shops?
I am not a NIMBY in that I have Muslim neighbours and they cause neither me nor anyone else any bother. They tend to have high aspirations for their children, and not for them to become Jihadis. Many Muslims are in the UK and Europe precisely to escape Jihadis.
I am not a hypocrite either because I can tell you quite openly that I would not like to live in a street that was 90% Asians or anything else, unless I were living in Asia. I am happy with a situation where Europeans (because my street has German, French and other folks in it too, also in very small numbers) are in large majority. But I will not listen to demented nonsense trying to tell me that 1.4% of the current population is going to lead to sharia law within my grandson’s lifetime, because it is idiocy.
I did not advocate for any Muslims at all to come here or to England, but neither did I advocate for the UK to take over half the world, steal its stuff and create the dynamic we now see. Actions have consequences.
I have said a dozen times that I consider the Home Office’s priority should have been to reduce non-EU immigration over internal EU migration, the former having always been greater than the latter.
Tommy Robinson remains a self-aggrandising shit-stirring thug. Anyone who repeatedly messes with a court’s activities and puts the conviction of evil rapists in jeopardy entirely for self publicity is a disgrace.
Read again, your confused.
TUCKER CARLSON (FOX HOST):
To Americans who want to live as they did just 15 years ago, quietly, productively, without being harassed and harangued by self-righteous lunatics who mean them harm and they do. If you want to be left alone to do your job and raise your family in this country you will need a protector. That protector must be the Republican Party, there are no other options, but it must be a very different kind of Republican Party.
Well D’OH! Poor Little Tucker wants reality to be different to reality … the Republican Party are thugs who only represent the 1% … what does he want them to be – Santa Claus? Mother Teresa? Doris Day? What a trust-fund dope he is …
Tucker has been on fire and his ratings prove it. It’s he, more than most, making clear the gravity of our current situation, explaining what’s really behind the BLM movement and the Antifa anarchists.
The Republicans aren’t any where near the violent thugs we need them to be. We need skull crushers and spine breakers.
“The Republicans aren’t any where near the violent thugs we need them to be. We need skull crushers and spine breakers.” ~ tucsonspur
That’s part of many nation-state governpimps’ modus operandi and is in large part why the likes of Assange are languishing in their prisons.
While I’m less than aware of what some legacy mainstream media people are suggesting, I’ll just offer a quote that seems apt in this regard:
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” ~ John F. Kennedy
Was he the one who got his brains blown out?
Dalton: I want you to be nice until it’s time to not be nice. Dalton: If somebody gets in your face and calls you a cocksucker, I want you to be nice. Ask him to walk. Be nice. Until its time to not be nice and yo0u will know when that time is nigh.

Tucker has been on fire and his ratings prove it.
McDonald’s is very popular it seems (I don’t know – I’ve never had one) but nobody considers what they sell to actually be food.
Same for trust-fund Tucker … no-one with a few neurons functioning ever takes the dude seriously, do they? Surely not!
I’m dying for a Carl’s Jr. burger. Or maybe an In ‘n Out.
We got stuck one night in Amish Country (Strasburg, Lancaster County PA). We headed out to a Carl’s Jr … the first time ever … it was so dreadfully awful it still gives me the shivers – and it was about 1997.
Lucky you weren’t stuck in the Auburn/Gresham section of Chicago. Then again you could have tried out your social justice bullsh#t on the gangbangers in real time, which most likely would end up worse than dreadfully awful and with a case of the shivers, but full of holes, and a case of dead.
Brh
My bet is you have never even watched the man.
Tucker exposed the anti-white depravity of nigga Kimberly Gardner in St. Louis. I use the word with all the disrespect it can contain. And I don’t use it lightly, but in this case the gloves are off. Fuck these people. We need a stern, violent backlash against these America haters. Fuck you niggas and anarchists, right in your face with fists and firearms. Listen to this:
“I am alarmed at the events that occurred over the weekend, where peaceful protesters were met by guns and a violent assault,” Gardner said. “We must protect the right to peacefully protest, and any attempt to chill it through intimidation or threat of deadly force will not be tolerated.”
She said her office was working with the police department to investigate the confrontation, adding that authorities “will use the full power of Missouri law to hold people accountable.”
‘Protestors’ smashed a gate to gain entry. Peaceful my ass. Met with a ‘violent assault’? A black blob of a truth twister.
Here’s the nappy nigga wielding her power against the white couple:
https://www.foxnews.com/us/who-is-kimberly-gardner-st-louis-prosecutor
A hop skip and jump to civil war. Social justice warrior, reloaded.
The best part is that couple WERE life long DEMOCRAT VOTERS.
This same mayor had kittens when this ship of fools showed up to protest her house though!
Yes, and he boasted about all the community members he had helped. Probably true. Doesn’t matter. He rich and White. Blacks sometimes accept the White underclass as long as they are devoid of all pride and thus beneath them.
News from New England!
In the City of Boston, the council has voted to unceremoniously remove the elegant Abraham Lincoln Memorial.
Not sure what will replace it, the pedestal will still be there. Some have suggested a statue resembling George Floyd — St George. But what would it look like? A prostrate St George, subdued by the police, a victim of systemic racism, or gangsta Big George, holding a cowering pregnant women at gunpoint while his posse ransacks her apartment?
Boston City Council is welcoming input from The Community, People of Color, LBGQT, young people and so on. Note: Whitey need not submit any suggestions.
PLEASE RESPECT OUR SPACE!
BRH
How about ripping the whole thing out and, in its place, planting a native tree or trees, maybe with fruit or nuts that can be eaten, such as for a potentially increasingly desperate population, (including the life beyond the human)?
I see you wrestling giant mutant squirrels for acorns. Or that just a guy in a gorilla suit who wants your money? Why not nuts that can eaten? Anthropologists have found signs of heavy fighting in the Oak Groves of ancient California. The Tribes guarded the groves as acorns are a good souce of protein that stores well.
If some of us are fighting over statues, it seems that we’ve lost our priorities.
At the risk of offending ponies, statues are, at best, one-trick ponies compared with ponies, or trees for that matter.
The more trees (and other forms of natural diversity that we might be able to help coax/nurture along) we have likely the better, and for practically everything.
I’ll be learning my trees this summer by the way.
What would you suggest? A nice Black Walnut tree? I prefer White walnuts myself (butter nut) but of course that would never do. Maybe a Black Locust.Nah, too thorny. A Chinese Chestnut would never do. Perhaps a nice White Dogwood?
I really don’t see why these statues need to be destroyed. I am sure they would fetch a pretty penny on the open market. I would be willing to bet that Tony Soprano would love a nice 12 foot Bronze Chris Columbus out on the back 40.
Maybe they could be melted down and turned into useful things that we might need during the long emergency.
Trees seem a little different than humans along with their ‘sociopschopolitics’ and probably don’t care what we call them. Then again, if we spoke about how we can (mis)treat them and/or their planet’s biota in general that we share and depend on far more than, say, statues, maybe there’s some correlation/association there ay?
State Finances….

You are always so sensible. The government will likely never again collect the tax revenue it used to. I read that 41% of business closures on yelp are permanent closures. And now they are trying to shut the economy down again. So I can totally see everything going bankrupt really fast.
Gyms in Arizona are suing the state to stay open. The “nice” times are just about over, folks are going out of business now and are starting to fight back. Outright refusals to close are coming.
All because a huge bunch of spoiled indulgent brats could not keep their hands off one another, space themselves out and wear masks where they cannot maintain space.
The pictures of Scottsdale and other places like beaches are disgusting!
John that is the only way we will ever get to herd immunity. Younger people are not being impacted. This whole maintaining space and wearing masks is just holding back the inevitable and at the same time destroying the fabric of civilization and public mental and physical health and well being. High risk groups should talk precautions. People should be able to take the precautions they wish to. This is America. We should be free to get sick. If you can’t be free to get sick you can’t be free to do anything. Your attitude is inviting total totalitarianism over our lives. So don’t then complain about businesses closing because they are being forced to. You can’t have your cake and eat it too with this. You either choose to destroy our entire civilization and basic human rights or you choose personal freedom and individual responsibility and accountability. The experts have never really had any reasonable policies in place on this because they wanted this chaos and breakdown.
Brilliant: The right to be sick. That’s a winner.
And yes, is John forgetting the purpose of the original lockdown was to flatten the curve and keep hospitals from being overwhelmed? The policy worked for the most part or their projections were wrong. But then they switched that and brought out the apple of eternal life without sickness. And John eagerly grabbed it and did eat.
I’m sick of all these apple eaters….
Tanks! It is really a bait and switch isn’t it. I am too. Especially when the apple represents what we know to be nothing but wishful thinking. We can’t have eternal life without sickness in this world. Yeah it would be really amazing but it is impossible. Those who examine every apple for quality and truth should be the rightful rulers.
High risk groups should talk precautions. People should be able to take the precautions they wish to. This is America. We should be free to get sick. If you can’t be free to get sick you can’t be free to do anything. Your attitude is inviting total totalitarianism over our lives.
There you go again … with that :This is America” drone. You are actually some of the least free people in the whole world, with your material cries, huge inequality, racial animus, gun obsessions, and total lock-step media and culture.
And just wear a mask … don’t be a selfish, self-centred, red-hat goose your entire life.
We and our immune systems have evolved in tandem with viruses and we are apparently even ‘part virus’. They drive evolution. We kind of need them apparently, except maybe the ones that might escape some research labs. But even then…
And then there’re the ideas of (faster) herd immunity and possibly avoiding extending the virus’ reach into the future by avoiding ‘flattening the curve’ too much, given that the longer it is lived with, maybe the longer it has a chance to mutate. Perhaps in some ways this is along the lines of using antibiotics too frivolously/often.
And with regard to some historical diseases, COVID-19 appears almost as a ‘nothing burger’ with lots of cases but relatively few deaths. Hey, people have to die. If no one died and people were still being born, the planet would be absolutely overrun maybe in a matter of months.
But, COVID-19 appears handy if an excuse is required to grind the economic engine’s C02 emissions (and general pollution for that matter) down by a certain amount by 2030, maybe as per the IPCC et al, including Greta and Extrinction Rebellion.
People walking around with masks looks kind of weird, dumb, wacky or maybe creepy– unsure.
Gentle readers;
Has it ever occurred to you that the decades-long effort to find a cure for AIDS has until only recently borne fruit? The obvious reason is the recent decision by researchers to use Lawyers as test subjects rather than the usual rodents. Why? There are three main reasons;
Lawyers are ubiquitous,
Lawyers are not sympathetic creatures…Lab workers do not bond with them,
There are some deviant acts that rats just won’t do….
Looking at the latest daily virus new cases reports per state.
It is still following the same trends, states that have had a surge already are not surging now, but new states, with no previous surge, are currently increasing, some fast, some not so fast. The states are split, blue and red and there does not seem to be a correlation with fast and slow opening states. This seems to be an initial surge for states that have not done it yet. They put mitigation steps in when the initial NY and NJ surges happened and now with relaxation, the scourge continues.
The MD that said that mitigation will slow the process but eventually herd immunity via catching the virus or vaccination is the only thing that will stop it sounds correct.
The unknown here is the supercarrier asymptomatic folks. I have suggested that maybe all the states post surge achieved herd immunity with asymptomatics being the major portion of society. The same thing may have made SARS disappear so quickly.
If that is so, protect the susceptible folks and let it rip and get the surges over with. Once the surges have past, the repeating folks and residuals will be cleaned up with vaccines. Open the schools, the greatest spreader of all viruses, but keep the kids away from their grandparents until the surges are over.
SARS disappeared overnight. Covid might do exactly the same thing if not mitigated.
Northern state are doing well, southern states are catching up.
Know what all the punks need, not tear gas, not pepper spray.
They need a spanking that their indulgent parents never gave them.

Be comforted that your country has bought up ALL the stocks of remdesivir in the entire world so that no-one else can get any, even those countries that made more of an effort to contain the virus.
None available for anywhere else for three months, and maybe you’ll get all of the next batch too.
It’s a harsh old world. America First. 🙂
Damned straight! USA! USA! USA!
“If you’re looking for a fighter who’ll defend you
And love you for your Freedom. I’m your man.
And I ain’t gonna leave you for the crazy things you’re doing
But don’t ask me to lend a helping hand.
You were such a pretty dream as I remember
You were young and strong and God was on your side.
But vision slowly faded like the wonder from your eyes
And you traded your compassion for your pride.
But I still believe in all that we believed in.
And I pray to God that you will in the end.
And you’ll see the golden chances that you’re wasting.
And be the loving beauty that you can.”
Anthem ’84, Kris K.
And you don’t even need it because you’ve got orange vodka smoothies.
You can have my dose I don’t want it I have been shot up enough with toxic vaccines for a lifetime.
It’s not a vaccine. It’s an anti-viral medication that’s been shown to help people recover more quickly from the ‘hoax’ (albeit not a ‘cure’). But if I catch the ‘hoax’, I’ll gratefully take your dose, thank you benr. Just the logistics to figure out, since I believe your government has passed a law to make sure that US medications can’t be sent out of the country.
You even have Ralph Lauren’s WASP wet dream from the 80’s interviewing Bret Weinstein:

Anglin:
There is going to be a lot more racism in the near future however, and that is all part of the plan.
People are going to begin going nuts over this race freakout, and the number one thing people are going to want to get involved in is things related to Nazis and the KKK. I mean that legitimately and I say it without humor. You people don’t yet understand normies – but I do. When this race hysteria gets completely out of control, the people who are not inclined to go along with it are going to think, “well, I guess I need to join the Nazis or the KKK, so I can start fighting back.”
They are just going to think of the most mainstream possible memes about racism, and decide that is the best course of action. Normies cannot think dynamically, or at all really. But they are definitely already feeling the stress of this race revolution, feeling basic tribalism, because that is hardwired into the limbic system. Basic emotions relating to “these people who are different from me are trying to hurt me and people who are the same as me” exist in primitive brain structures, and do not require higher brain function.
If normies had higher brain function, they would think things through, but they regrettably do not have that. So their immediate response to any problem that stirs them enough to actually act is to form a mob. And of course they are going to grab whatever symbols are available to support being against other races attacking them, the most obvious being the swastika. This is all very much a trap that’s been set up, where the people are not allowed to have any leaders speaking any kind of sense to them at all, so they are just going to go off the rails.
It’s such a terrible shame that the Alt-Right was completely destroyed in 2017, because now would be the time to say, “this is what we’ve been saying and we have a well organized plan about how to fix this.”
Instead, the normies are just going to go nuts, putting swastikas on pizzas and getting fired, saying the n-word on Facebook and getting banned, then probably engaging in various weird acts of violence that do nothing but further justify stripping them of their weapons.
People keep saying, “a backlash is coming,” and they are definitely right. But the backlash that is coming is going to be a stupid disaster.
Everything that is happening has been planned in an organized fashion. This is rollout of a total agenda of destroying the remains of Western civilization and replacing it with a new system. What is clear is that they do want to take people’s guns, so it’s very obvious that they’re going to incite a violent backlash from white men, then use that backlash as an excuse to take the guns.
They’re right now building a catalog of “white terrorism” to use when they make their final push under President Kamala. This flag defender, the guy who shot the Antifa that attacked him in New Mexico, and then the classics, Dylann Roof, Robert Bowers, etc. – there will be more small ones, then there will be some big situation where someone does something more organized and sets bombs off at a BLM riot or something. If no one random does it, the feds will do it themselves, but they’re purposefully pushing all of the buttons to try to get a random person to do it.
This is just like watching a movie, when you know what is going to happen.
SV: Culture is upstream of politics and politics is upstream of economics. Everything got reversed and economics ended up on top – starting the with International Banking and then International Corporations. The want to break the middle class, Western Culture, and the White Race. They’re doing it. The red, red vino is the currency now.
And Cult is upstream of Culture. They knew this even if you have forgotten it. Thus they took great care to corrupt the Churches. Anglin doesn’t know what to do, neither does Trump. No one does. It’s all up to Captain Moonlight now.
Trump stood there day after day like a big dummy while Fauci and Birx savaged America. He wasn’t muzzled but he might as well have been. But he TWEETED pundits who believed the whole thing is a giant scam. Why didn’t have have the courage to speak out against them? Why didn’t he fight for us? Instead he became a public golem, keeping the best part of himself “private”, tweeting in his White House basement just like any other nerd.
I’m impressed. This is the longest, of what appears to be an original post ever made by the Vlad/Janos/Serendi. Character. Usually anything more that two paragraphs from this character is cut and paste.
Has the character been reassigned? There are vocabulary differences! Perhaps the character has become a more worthy adversary? Having the former author stand in while the name was changed gave the new author a chance to reviewing the character notes. A good move, it makes sense.
But back to the post. That’s a lot of fishing line to play out. Play out that much line and you could get your line snagged.
Rant as you will I don’t see how purifying the world with bleach is going to make anything better. There are a lot of white people who are S-T-U-P-I-D. Literally millions of them. And come on now Sredni Vashtar. White people can be the most stupid people of all, you know it is true.
They also smell like dogs.
gave the new author a chance to
reviewingreview the character notes.Shame on you. At least the protesters have the courage of their convictions and are out there ready to burn, loot, and kill to effect “change” – even the ones who believe the virus hoax is real. But you are too worried about you own skin even though you are down with them 100%.
Oh, except for the violence? Kdog, c’mon. Communists aren’t pacifists and MLK, being a Communist wan’t either. His tactics worked at that time. If he was around now, he would be all for violence since it’s working. What you want isn’t going to happen without lots of blood.
Do or don’t do. There is no middle ground anymore. You folks made sure of that.
Don’t be mad at me for calling you on your lack of compassion. I’m sure you have it for your own White Liberal Tribe and your minority allies. You have “othered” us completely. What can I say? You folks are way better at this than we are and are prepared in all kinds of ways, not the least of which is the psychological.
Bleach? More racist hatred. Maybe we need a new word. Is a White who is anti-White a racist?
You folks are way better at this than we are and are prepared in all kinds of ways, not the least of which is the psychological.
I stand before your Persian army, one of the 300 as I if I stood at Thermopylae. We hold you back and you outnumber us 7,000 to one. You have all the toys and I have only my code and my wits to fight you with.
