Time, the saying goes, is nature’s way of making sure that everything doesn’t happen at once. So now, maybe, we’re at the event-horizon where nature is suspended, because everything seems to be happening at once. The weeks ahead will determine whether we are a coherent society that can function on the basis of a firm consensual reality, or just a convocation of battling narratives designed to conceal anything that quacks like truth, all veering toward failure.
Up this afternoon (Friday) for instance: the results of the Maricopa, AZ, election audit. The New York Times has declared a preliminary draft of the audit “a cap-gun ending to an inquiry whose backers hinted would turn up a cannonade of fraud.” Their conclusion: “Joe Biden” won the 2020 election fair-and-square. That would be momentous if it were true, but is it? Or is it just the juke of a player that typically runs zig-zags through the facts? The Times certainly has an interest in, shall we say, getting ahead of the story in its never-ending quest to control the narrative — as opposed to delivering actual news fit to print. I’m standing by to sort out the jokers from the face-cards.
Otherwise, it’s been a less than stellar month for the putative winner of that 2020 contest, the media figment known as “Joe Biden.” His open border policy flipped savagely on him as a nine-month influx of Central and South Americans (and opportunists from even more distant lands) turned into the bad optics of some 15,000 Haitians (most up from living in Chile, Colombia and other non-Haitian places) flooded the zone at Del Rio, Texas. Predictably, their insta-town under the border bridge turned septic when the few Port-a-Johns dropped off there boiled over — instant Haiti! — and the appalling situation could no longer be hidden from the news media.
Federal border agents next tried policing the scene on horseback — arguably a daintier approach than driving SUVs through the mob — and the news media instantly parlayed the scene of horsemen using the reins to control their mounts into a narrative about slaves getting whipped in the cottonfields. In other words, another chapter in the testament of “systemic racism.” Even the notorious race hustler Al Sharpton drifted down to Del Rio to sprinkle a little gasoline on a potential fire, but his audience heckled him into submission and the operation fizzled.
Meanwhile, “Joe Biden” cranked up a cosmetic airlift sending a few Haitians back to Haiti — which they had fled from years ago to live in South America — at the same time shuttling another cohort of Haitians over to Houston and other cities around the USA, as if nobody will ever catch on to the shell game being played. Any way you cut it, the fiasco on the US / Mexican border had turned into a big loss for the Big Guy since the economic alarm bells ringing across the country tell you the last thing we need is more illegal immigrants to compete with actual citizens for a declining number of low-paying jobs.
The Big Guy also had a bad week on the family grift front as the story broke, first on Politico and then elsewhere like a brushfire, that the trove of incriminating memoranda on Hunter Biden’s laptop was for-real, and that the concerted effort to hide all that muck from the voters during last year’s election campaign was a completely dishonest operation. Add up all the memos and emails on Hunter’s hard-drive and you have a pretty clear digital trail of a major racketeering operation that can no longer be denied. So, will Merrick Garland’s DOJ keep ignoring it?
The Attorney General was probably forced to approve John Durham’s recent indictment of Hillary Clinton errand-boy, lawyer Michael Sussmann, from the DC Lawfare Central outfit called Perkins Coie. I say forced because it was an open-and-shut case, and denial by Mr. Garland would have been seen as just another RussiaGate ploy by an agency hopelessly tainted by years of official criminal misconduct — and let’s assume that Mr. AG Garland does not want to be dragged into that mess, especially as Mr. Durham is unraveling it. And the Special Counsel signaled that he is doing just that by implicating a wheel of culpable public figures in a 27-page indictment for Mr. Sussmann’s simple crime of lying to the FBI, which could have been accomplished in two concise paragraphs. That is, expect the Sussmann indictment to not be the end of a matter that could be tending toward a massive RICO indictment against the entire DNC wax museum of liars and seditionists.
Coincidentally — and on rather a separate track — we have China’s latest export to the advanced economies of the world: the meltdown of its bond market as signified in the wreck of super-gigantic real estate conglomerate Evergrande. Behold the broken daisy-chain of obligations stretching to the furthest reaches of global finance and the deleterious effect of that on capital markets everywhere to follow. The central banks are pulling out the last stops now to prevent a general meltdown of hallucinated “wealth” around the world and you can probably measure the success of that last-ditch effort in days as we enter the cursed month of October, when skeletons dance on the graves of lost fortunes. The stage-managers behind “Joe Biden” look forward to that as they would to so many stakes driven through their degenerate hearts.
Speaking of hearts, there is the current heart-of-the-matter, the Covid-19 engineered bioweapon being used internationally to suppress formerly free citizens of formerly democratic republics. It becomes more obvious each day that everything connected to this extravaganza is other than it appears to be. Chiefly, the vaccine is not a vaccine and it will probably end up killing more people than the Covid-19 disease and its variants. A lot of those deaths will be caused in the months ahead by damage to people’s hearts and other organs from spike proteins generated via mRNA shots. The reported official numbers are all lies of one kind or another, issued by agencies primarily concerned not with public health but with covering asses at the highest level, so do not trust them. If you haven’t had a vax shot, better seriously consider steering clear of your government’s desperate attempts to get the job done.
Events are converging. Everything is happening at once. Narratives are in collapse. Governments may soon commence to fall. Food and critical supplies of parts for things needed to run advanced societies are up next. What will you decide to do about yourself, your community, and your country?

Funny how last year at this time nobody was vaxxed, COVID was in remission and new cases were falling. Now a good 50% of us have had The Magic Potion and COVID is roaring back. Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s a disease of the unvaxxed. Makes perfect sense.
Right? Obviously the ‘variants’ are vaccine injuries. Oh and now some doctors won’t treat the vaxx injured because they are in denial and/or have their marching orders to push the vaxx.
Clean out them porta-potties Joe!
Arizona Audit Confirms Trump Lost: https://americanyellowvest.wpcomstaging.com/2021/09/24/arizona-audit-proves-trump-lost/
One state out of fifty. Regardless of how Arizona sorts out, there is abundant evidence of election night chicanery at other other polling locations throughout the country.
@Zoltar
So, are we pretending that presidential elections are still about the battle of people’s votes?
How could they be anything more than cyber games with no preferred outcome?
To be even the least bit concerned about any of these machinations is delusionary and a failure to envision a more probable bigger picture.
~toktomi~
The regime’s lackeys are frontrunning this “leak” so the real story will be discounted as ‘old news’. As if we believe anything these pathetic toads cook up.
If you wake up on November 4th, to news that four states halted vote counting at the same time in the middle of the night, counting only to be resumed later, you can be pretty sure the election you are hearing about is either in the US or Sudan.
Yes – that was the big “tell” that skullduggery was afoot.
Interestingly, with a population of about 40 million people, California was magically able to count all of their votes with MINUTES of the closure of the polls in last week’s recall election of the communist Gavin Newsom.
Isn’t that special?
You’d think the big stair step in Potato Joe’s cumulative vote total plot would have been obvious, even to normies.
Sadly, you’d be wrong.
Maybe he became coherent and popular for a few short moments and it gave him a surge?
That’s awesome HTruth. Now at least we can lay the blame for all the pending vaccine deaths, the imminent economic collapse, civil war, and political chaos at the feet of Sleepy Joe and Kamal Toe instead of DJT. (Hey, sour grapes can still make vinegar ya know.)
Take the truth out of your name sir. Data hasn’t even been formally released and reviewed. This is a supposed result of a leaked, partial draft. Election was stolen. Only an idiot would believe Xiden had 81,000,000 votes.
There ARE defiantly 81 mil idiots available if actually needed.
Nice try, Doucheclown…
KEY RESULT — More than 55,000 potentially illegal ballots.
The linked commentator got punked by MSM reporting. Listen to the testimony of Ben Cotton for the Truth.
So just who do we believe as there are reports of plenty of problems.
“Officials found several issues with more than 50,000 ballots, including duplicate ballots and signature issues. The legislature also shared disappointment in the county’s lack of cooperation throughout the process.”
Obviously there is something very wrong with voting in this country.
Widespread reporting of people in the California recall election having already cast their ballots with people showing up to vote wishing to know how they voted, when they voted and for whom they voted.
I am of the opinion voter fraud should be akin to treason with serious and very stiff penalties for those caught and convicted.
’ Obviously there is something very wrong with voting in this country.’
For sure! Too many people with whom you disagree are getting to vote! This clearly must be stopped. Several states are showing the way in voter suppression legislation. Thank Dog someone has their heads screwed on correctly!
Obviously the Socialist loving scumbag likes what has happened to the country since Joe Biden lied and cheated his way into the Whitehouse.
Enjoy, you own this fiasco.
I hope his madness and insanity gets you exactly what you deserve a short life under a bridge where all Socialist trolls belong living out of trash cans Venezuela style.
We much be reading different accounts, but then maybe you are reading the Arizona Republic, which is to the left of Stalin. No, in fact they have found tens of thousands of illegal votes, including ballets sent in without signatures. The Arizona AG is now taking over the investigation. Biden did not win, but getting his corrupt butt out of office will be a real problem, as will his marxist coterie.
including ballets sent in – jgalt
==========
…on their toes I presume.
Trump lost ’20 for good & ’24 too when he backed the vaxx.
Dr. Paul is now the arch enemy of the death cult.
The death cult that kills its own adherents.
All he has to do is lay low & not offend the vaxxed.
When they realize the grievous harm inflicted on them & their progeny
by their own elites, the outrage will be biblical.
If it doesn’t destroy the country, it may result in a watershed right down the middle. Paul / Gabbard & a whole new party.

Greg Hunter on his USAWatchdog.com website said that Democrat darling, Superstar Rapper Nicki Minaj posted negative tweets about the Covid vaccines to her millions of followers. The Democrats tried to contact her to you know, set her straight and she told them basically to F-off.
This person wrote to Martin Armstrong regarding that his math says that more people die after taking the vaccine than the unvaccinated.

That picture! Have we lost our fucking minds?!
There are a lot of sadistic child abusers involved with all things COVID.
Wow, that picture is scary as fuck, that should be considered child abuse! The human body starts out in perfect form, healthy and supple, able to fight off the world. Why a little baby would need a shot of lab made poison is simply beyond my comprehension.
medical iatrogenesis
Nice I had to look that one up.
Probably because Citizen Gates and others think we need to halve the world’s population ASAP, and if you get rid of the allegedly-educated and their progeny first, it’ll be easy to finish the job; whereas leaving alive those who understand the difference between rights and privileges, you run the risk of a counter-revolution.
Even though Biden allegedly would lose to Trump today, there are still 38 months till the next presidential election. Given that the Commu-Democrats are shipping Haitians, Afghans, and whoever else they’ve allowed into the country to swing states, and given Silicon Valley’s ability to swing vote totals, it seems unlikely that there will ever be another honest election in the United States. It was a great place to grow up, but it sure seems to be slipping into Third World slum status.
“Probably because Citizen Gates and others think we need to halve the world’s population ASAP, and if you get rid of the allegedly-educated and their progeny first”
This interview between Chris Martenson and David Icke who many called a conspiracy theorist pretty much echos what you said. Poor David took a lot of flak but over the years he’s pretty much nailed as he calls it “The Outcome” and now we are uncovering “The Journey”.
https://www.peakprosperity.com/its-about-control-an-interview-with-david-icke/
Yep, Uncle Bob, you’re finally fucked.
To be honest I question whether the US ever had fair elections free of election fraud.
Yes that was a very powerful picture!
You know what people are going to do about themselves, their communities, and their country – NOTHING! So I suppose that was a rhetorical question James. The governing principle over people’s actions or lack thereof in a society where so many have had so much for so long and have taken it all for grated remains NIMBY – Not In My Backyard. Not until the Chinese hoards march down their streets in victory parades celebrating not a single casualty in their takeover (purchase) of what was ours and will soon be theirs, will any of them wake up. And probably not even then. No one will fight the new master when no one was willing to call out the old master for screwing them in the dirt. I may have been wrong about there being no joy in “I told you so”, because I am starting to feel like I may enjoy watching this nation get what it asked for.
In the comments below Mr K’s prior missive I shared a personal story, the point of which was that depressed people often deeply wish for something catastrophic to happen in the wider world. I’m seeing it here in spades. Not judging, for it’s in me as well. And I think it’s a rich vein that we might mine for truth and wisdom.
Another thing I’ve seen here lately is the use of “hoard” for “horde.” Not bidding for Q’s job. Just sayin’.
Oh it’s depressing as hell, no doubt and after serving the public for the last 6 years I should be chronically depressed myself. Fortunately for me I expected this and after putting forth a super-human effort only to confirm the fact that Americans actually embrace corruption as a way of doing business, well you reap what you sew.
Personally I have been blessed with a wonderful and productive life. I will have earned just about $2M dollars and have lived my 67 years living the life of a king. I am thankful and grateful to God for all He has done for me.
Watching my nation decay and collapse, sometimes even physically is what is so disturbing. How anyone can embrace the dirty, old sock in the White House as a good thing shatters my faith in my fellow humans. I am certainly sad at watching this farce play out, but not to worry, it’s not bothering me in the least, I saw it coming.
?Earned 2 mil $ while ‘serving the public.’
“living the life of a king.’ While ‘serving the public.’
Something doesn’t add up.
Sometimes people just don’t know when the keep their pie whole shut, as what they say is rather damning.
Just sayin.
From what I recall, Walter earned his crust running his own engineering business. Public service was an add-on because he liked to see things run honestly in his neck of the woods.
But yes, as you say, sometimes people just don’t know when to keep their pie hole shut. The type who know everything.
Just sayin.
And while I’m here, I don’t think much of people who make their money in the medical profession, but can’t stop gloating about other people they reckon are going to die soon.
Something doesn’t add up, as you might say.
I still hope your daughter is one of the lucky ones. Even someone with your repulsive attitudes doesn’t deserve the alternative.
Neurodoc, an honest scientist, is outraged by the corruption and bulleskinyatta he’s seen. I am quite certain that Walter B, who has truly walked the walk, is even more outraged.
He went to war to do what he could. The Newark/Elizabeth area is one of my old stomping grounds, so I’m heartily grateful to have him back and them both here. Pace, friends, lesser noobs like me depend on you.
You need more data I am happy to provide it so you can make an intelligent comment. I will have earned that amount over the course of my 50 year working career, ALL working in the private sector with the most in one year as a facility manager at $82K. I ran my own engineering business designing, selling and, installing conveyor systems for retailers for 15 years at $75K annual salary. The last 6 years I have served as a committeeman and the last two years as mayor for $1/year. I also acted as temporary township administrator (a $40K salary job) for free.
My idea of living like a king is certainly a lot more affordable than Bill Gates’ I am sure, but then, I know what is valuable and I seriously doubt that he does. Do you sir, because a vast majority of Americans ALL live like kings, they simply are too selfish and perhaps greedy to realize it.
“From what I recall, Walter earned his crust running his own engineering business. Public service was an add-on because he liked to see things run honestly in his neck of the woods.”
WOW, GA that was so kind of you, thank you. You and I have crossed swords here before and you have struck me many a deep blow yet you have always had my respect. If I come across as thinking I am something special, I apologize, but what I am is someone that is seriously saddened by what has happened here. A jaded public that cannot be bothered to take any responsibility in the own communities other than their children’s sporting activities and worst of all who openly accept the rampant corruption that IS our political system. In fact, ALL of our systems are so corrupt that they have all pretty much become non-functional. Al Capone had a thousand times more friends than Elliot Ness ever had. Sad, realty sad.
GreenAlba
That was a truely exquisite post – possibly one of your best (which is saying something…)
Grafting “doctors” are a dime-a-dozen, and have been for generations. The current unique circumstances combined with instantaneous global reach has seen them breed like rabbits.
Green Alba, agree this is great, and thanks for standing up for Walter B. Really like your later one with the references to tosspots, tuppence, and plonkers. 🙂
Ah, Walter B the Boom lament. You are the classic example of why your generation needs the hook off the world stage. Your statement reads almost like a satirist wrote it as it is filled will the usual tropes and the eye-rolling conclusion, “I saw it coming.”
The thing is your generation has detached itself and takes no responsibility for the mess you’re generation helped to create, support and reinforce.
But yeah, you saw it coming and did nothing. Like many it seems earning that $2 million got in the way.
How the actual f*** do you know what Walter did or didn’t do?
I don’t like pile-ons at the best of times, but first we have the hubristic numpty above you who’s so full of himself that he’s unacquainted with the notion that it’s better to wait until you know what you’re talking about before letting everyone know what an arrogant tosspot you are. Then you, adding your tuppence worth from a place of equally unembarrassed ignorance.
Pair of arrogant plonkers.
Haha! Epic. When the bill comes due, may it be Alba’s hand that delivers the Bitchslap Heard ‘Round The World.
There can be no doubt that the Boomer generation, of which I am a tail ender, has not only been the first over pampered, underworked bunch of sellouts the nation has ever seen, but has effected the 180 turn from “Question everything”, and “Don’t trust the government” to the detriment of our entire social structure. You have no idea how I worked and how I functioned in society and so your low information decision making clearly degrades your opinion.
And Her Ladyship may have given me the old one-two right nicely, but she is full of it if she truly believes that I am full of myself. I, my dear, am full of shit, just like the rest of our species, including your ladyship.
If I’m ‘your ladyship’, Walter, I was referring to neurodoc being full of himself by judging you from a place of ignorant assumptions, not you. 🙂
In other words, Walter, I was defending your honour against the arrogant tosspots!
Thank you my Lady, and I mean that with all due respect. It is easy for people to make snap judgments here where so relatively few words are exchanged between posters, and that is too bad. Sometimes I know that I post too much in an effort to convey more about who I am, and I am going to risk it once again on one of the topics I am especially anticipating an “I told you so” moment eventually.
As mayor I sit on the Solid Waste Advisory Council for my county. The woman who chairs it is a wonderful, dedicated and hard working person whose only fault is never being given enough of a budget to do what she is expected to accomplish. It seems as though this council’s most important duty is to deal with (as in dispose of) all of the various solid waste produced daily by our county (900,000 tons at day at the transfer station. Disposing of all of this garbage is a mammoth task and trying to find new and creative ways to deal with it is an exercise in frustration.
My upbringing set me off in life as a “bring it in, bring it out”, “waste not want not”, kind of a guy. At the end of one of our meetings this year I spoke to the council and told them, “I don’t want to be a buzz kill people, but it seems to me that if we do not do something to cut back on our rampant consumption, we are going to drown ourselves in our own refuse”. Everyone was quite understanding and sympathetic, but very quickly it was noted that consumption is what drives our economy and cutting back is not something that we care to suggest to anyone anytime soon.
If I live long enough, and it might not take long, I think I will be able to have quite the “I told you so” moment in this regard. Too bad, really.
We much be reading different accounts, but then maybe you are reading the Arizona Republic, which is to the left of Stalin. No, in fact they have found tens of thousands of illegal votes, including ballets sent in without signatures. The Arizona AG is now taking over the investigation. Biden did not win, but getting his corrupt butt out of office will be a real problem, as will his marxist coterie.
If only “spell check” actually corrected misspellings, instead of constantly changing properly spelled words into words you did not type.
I hate all automated spell check software. All of it is next to useless. There still is no substitute for a second pair of eyes to look over anything a person types.
I have “spell check” built into WordPerfect on my Windows computer which highlights a problem word and offers a list of valid replacements. However, the “auto correct” feature of my Android tablet sometimes helps, but most of the time it is a total disaster.
I turned the Android auto-correct off. Worthless. What kind of retarded programming ALWAYS replaces its (possessive “it”) with it’s (contraction “it is”).
Whoever wrote this 1) isn’t aware “its” exists or 2) believes no one ever uses “its”. Can these people really be that ignorant, or is this some evil plot to further water down the language?
Yanks: “Australians gave up their guns.”
Australians: “Yanks kept their guns…and watched, like eunuchs in a brothel, a rigged election, a locked down nation, a Flu D’Etat, a migrant invasion, and a surrender to the Taliban.”
Yanks & Aussies are both right.
Yup, and the reason being that with the advent of social media, and even before, American communities have been dying and the country with them.
There is no real America any more, diversity and rotten politics have destroyed what little coherence existed in the first place. We are at the place where Balkanization may be the only situation. Hatred is raising its head more every year. The biggest impact of Covid is the increasing divide it is causing. I look at the issues of Arizona and compare them to the issues of the Atlantic coast. There is no comparison. California may be a crazy Liberal empire, but it’s problems resemble Arizona’s much more than the East.
And folks, Dc and the Deep State are an East Coast institution along with all the do nothings that go there. A huge step to unify the country, if possible, would be to get the National Loser Society out of the East Coast and place it in Kansas City, stone by stone. What a great infrastructure project.
Better yet, just hope that the tsunami sweeps into the Atlantic coast and washes everything out to sea. Then we can start all over again and rebuild in a more central location.
We should simply give all of the US lands back to the Native Americans and see if they have a better way of running things.
These are not our “lands” to give. We are only stewards.
New stewards? – very possible.
Stewards?
The mismanagement of US forests for a hundred years have condemned them to death via wildfire.
Want to screw up something in any way possible? Get the US government involved in it.
Yes, stewards get changed because of incompetence or being unjust.
@jaz
Not at all Wildefires are needed for many of the American forests.
The actual problem is we staved off wildfires to much so the amount of material to burn was far and away more than had we just let them go.
Many pine trees require fire to pop open the cones to spread the seeds.
We should simply give all of the US lands back to the Native Americans and see if they have a better way of running things. I just can’t help it. F/U…………..!
We already know how Native Americans run things. They are running things on numerous Indian reservations throughout the US.
Are they really?
They are running things through the framework we allowed them to.
About 800 years ago, my farm was controlled by some Algonquins who controlled the area for nearly a millennia.
Them some Iroquois showed up. A nearby college did a little dig here. They found the last layer of Algonquin artifacts amid 30 skeletons. All of them showed signs of torture, and a few showed signs of having been GNAWED by human teeth.
I think I’ll stick with the non-binding way, imperfect though it might be.
Incidentely, I always wondered why Im supposed to feel guilty because my ancestors showed up a couple hundred years later and did the Iroquois the way they’d done the Algonquins. At least the patroons didn’t eat ’em!
Partition is definitely in America’s future, JohnAZ. A close study of history has convinced me beyond all doubt that demographically homogenous nation-states arose over time for natural reasons that are deeply rooted in fundamental human behavior.
All of the diversity training in the world is not going to disabuse humans of these instincts, most of which evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to ensure our survival.
Every multicultural empire inevitably breaks down and falls apart. It is almost always a messy process and violence is more the rule than it is the exception.
This is why no rational person believes that “diversity is our strength.” That is pure horseshit and propaganda designed to attempt to sustain the unsustainable.
At this point, the United States is thoroughly screwed. Teddy Kennedy killed it with the Immigration Reform Act (hahahaha) of 1965. The final nails are being driven into the coffin by Biden and his Open Borders stormtroopers.
The only hope for Americans descended from the founding stock of this country is partition into smaller, more easily governed, and more demographically homogenous nation-states.
It’s going to happen, whether anyone likes that particular future or not. Necessity and the need to survive will drive us the United States into a breakdown of the federal union.
Our best hope right now is to try to achieve this with as little bloodshed as possible. I fear that the Left won’t allow that. They seem to WANT a CW2 and see it as a window of opportunity to overthrow the constitution and take the speed ramp route to their preferred United Socialist States of America.
But, honestly, it would be better for all if we just held some sort of convention of the states and peacefully agreed to dissolve the present union and allow the 50 states to make their own new arrangements amongst themselves to form newer, smaller confederations. Some states, like Texas, Alaska, and Hawaii, might even decide that full independence standing alone suits them best.
But the Blue Check crowd isn’t having any of it. They want to CONTROL us and to ABUSE us in my view. They are all about robbing us and getting revenge against us. (“Us” being anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders and AOC these days.)

The US developed as an economic engine. The population center of the East Coast circa 1700s needed stuff to expand. The easiest way was expansion West. A really good example is the settlement of Texas. Spanish cattle, Longhorns populated vast areas of Texas and entrepreneurial Anglos appropriated them, made ranches, and drove the cattle north to the railroads to send beef East. Just one example. The logging industry is another.
Today, with all thing manufactured being done offshore, what holds the various areas to America Central. Very little. The economic glue no longer exists.
I agree with that. Our ancestors had a good run in that mad dash to conquer a continent and improve their lives. If I had a time machine I’d have rather lived between 1800 – 1860. So much opportunity.
I saw a drone shot of all the cargo ships just sitting off the ports at Long Beach, apparently because there are no truckers to take all the stuff?
And notice how they are telling everyone to do their “Christmas shopping” now before all the goodies are snatched up.
Huh?!
A coast to coast chain of dollar stores does not have enough glue to hold it together?
Abby,
Two months ago I went looking for a new car for the first time since Numbskull Dubya was in the White House and his veep was shooting his fellow hunter in the face with bird shot. The salesmen told me to buy while I could because they dont expect new stock until November. I ended up buying not quite what I wanted because I lost an argum– I mean discussion with my wife, and partly because stock levels shriveled up. Since then, new car dealers are selling used cars, sometimes as old as 2010 models, for as much as I paid for a new 2021. Which is the long-winded way of saying, buy your presents early because expected deliveries of other, newer goods may never arrive.
@Wizard
Ya oughta see real cohesive diversity in action; it’s awesome.
Nothing compares.
Monocultures are weak and fragile by comparison.
The Universe IS diversity.
Multi-cultural as you use it here is not functioning diversity; it’s polarized adversity.
I could be wrong but I’ve been there and I can report that it’s trippy, powerful, and positive.
Don’t take my word for it.
~toktomi~
Every pride of lions has its own territory which is defends. Every colony of ants. Ever group of chimps. You need to get out in nature and look. Leave aside your dusty tomes. You smell of the lamp!
Diversity means separation – not smooshing everything together. Play with watercolors and find out how that works.
I get the sense that diversity works best when taken in small doses. Diverse national European cultures mixing in America worked well here in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The more recent 3rd world injections have had decidedly less salutary benefits.
oh, Jarek
This is not the musings of others that is speaking to you.
This is the stuff of Earth and experience.
This is the stuff of the stars and beyond.
The wind is not a laminar flow of air.
The atmosphere roils and boils with wondrous heterogeneity.
So too do the strongest clans, tribes, and prides.
Once immersed you too would know it to your soul.
Keep looking. It awaits you.
~toktomi~
@Wizard see my comment below about my trip across middle and western America. Rather than wait to be rounded up into camps we need to take the initiative and wall off the shit hole blue cities that rule. Georgia is ruled by Atlanta, Missouri by St. Louis, Wyoming by Jackson Hole, Illinois by Chicago. Let’s build that wall!
And, to put icing on the cake, the LEAA put out a study result a couple days ago showing that at the end of july 2021, the US murder rate had gone up 30% year to year; the highest level ever recorded.
The biggest impact of Covid is the increasing divide it is causing.
no, death, disease, sterility are the impact.
divide can be good, integration can be bad.
Not sure your proposed move would work all that well.
Heck, Denver is already referred to as, “DC West,” by some.
SLC is, “DC Further West.”
I agree with James’s recounting of the current clusterfuck. However, I believe that all the events he details are actually massive wins for Biden and the globalists. They WANT things to go pear-shaped. And they are.
Please. Get a grip. I suppose you’re imagining Chinese Hordes* marching through the streets because there hasn’t been enough doom porn from Hollywood for you to consume? Every soul so caught up in the mainstream narrative they just will give in? Scratch a little further and I suspect you have a generational grudge because “I told you so” is akin to “get off my lawn.”
People don’t have to call attention to themselves to protest the status quo. In fact that is the smart approach at this point in time. The action to take is to disengage from all the systems as they are corrupt. Stop participating.
*FYI – China doesn’t invade countries. Never has. Sure maybe they’ll go for Taiwan one of these days but that’s not the same.
You are probably correct about China not invading and that all they want is to bring all Chinese areas under Chinese sovereignty.
Sound familiar?
Wasn’t this essentially supposed to be all Hitler really wanted when he kept demanding things like Alsace-Lorraine, the Sudetenland, and Danzig?
For some unexplained reason, he decided Norway, France, the Channe Islands, Holland, Denmark, Belgium, Poland, Austria, Czchoslovakia Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy, the Baltic States, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Bulgaria, etc., etc. all looked yummy too and should be either under the Reich’s thumb or in the Reich’s orbit.
So, why would China not think similarly? They might decide that having Japan, South Korea, Indo-China, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, etc. all under their thumb is a peachy keen idea.
Unbridled ambition knows no ethnic or national limitations. The Chinese are as capable of embracing imperial ambitions and any other country.
To be clear, alll Hitler kept saying was that all lands inhabited by Germans needed to unite with Germany.
This is kind of the same argument made by XI about Taiwan belonging to mainland China,
Calling out Godwin’s law here. Nice try.
The Chinese have never invaded. Your scenario is a fantasy but fun to imagine I guess. How do they do it? Maybe busy yourself with that.
This is a challenge for Chairman XI, not me. But his buildup of a blue water Navy and land to sea missile forces and his nuclear forces argues that he fully intends to take Taiwan back by force and it will probably happen before the middle of the century.
Wizard, speaking as one who has lived in Southeast Asia (specifically, Indonesia) for 33+ years straight, I long ago concluded that the PRC is looking southward and seeing that the area is too rich (marine resources, minerals, arable land) and too underpopulated (Australia in particular) not to be worth assuming dominance over – and flooding with more Chinese (not that the ethnic variety already living in the region is that “Chinese” but it is the thin wedge).
The orderly, iron-fisted People’s Republic of China can clearly see the ongoing confusion, weakness and economic recklessness of the west, and – in typical Chinese fashion – are prepared to wait it out. 30 years from now a map of East Asia will be nothing like it is today. And many of those residing in these countries are dimly aware of this – thus the steady urge to placate the Communists so they will give them more time before taking over.
I recently read that there are more Han Chinese living in Tibet these days than Tibetans. And that barren mountain land has no resources to exploit.
what a liar.
*FYI – China doesn’t invade countries. / tell that to a million murdered Tibetans, you dumb fuk.
They invade by making investments in a given country or region, and then slowly claiming ownership. They are essentially a bank, and then when time of default comes, viola, you are now part of this Chinaland!
The Chinese also seem to be adept at propagation and reproduction, so essentially they will also eventually win on the human front.
Who knows what they are up to on the dark side of the moon these days….
Just look at western Canada and the US Pacific Northwest to see a model of Chinese imperialism. China looks a hundred years down the road and sees A Chinese world.
“The Chinese also seem to be adept at propagation and reproduction, so essentially they will also eventually win on the human front.”
They say “We’ll make it up in volume.” 😉
Cowbell: Yes, indeed. Hard Power isn’t the only type of power. The Chinese are very strong on soft and smart power too.
How easily the world forgets about that. I’m sure the Dali Lama could lend D from OR some “enlightenment” on this point.
Actually, if you go back, Tibet habitually invaded China long ago. The two have a feud that makes no sense to westerners as the nearest analogy is Russia and Germany, but those two are famously frenemies. China’s in the driver seat now but in 200 years…who can tell. Tibet is probably better situated to endure a long emergency.
@D
“protest” | the wrong direction for affecting positive change
opting out | walking away; how to scare the shit out of ’em
~toktomi~
@toktomi – Precisely.
Protests means engagement which gives the power structure consent to exist. It means believing they have power or matter. It’s why protests are often presented as the only option. They reinforce the power of the state.
Not consenting or participating in the presented narrative is our real power. The narrative is all the Controllers have and since they aren’t doing it very well lately its become quite easy to see how weak their control really is.
As Terrence McKenna sagely said, “Culture is not your friend.”
D from OR: why not do both? Create and live in alternative communities.
Tibet? Hello? Calling Mork from Ork. Take this D back
Huh? What happened to Tibet?
“*FYI – China doesn’t invade countries. Never has”
D,
Hunh…tell that to the Tibetans.
Wumao.
To say that premodern China has very seldom invaded any other country since the 10th Century AD would be about right. China did briefly occupy Vietnam during the Ming Dynasty, and that’s about that. The conquests made or attempted by China during the Yuan and Qing Dynasties do not count, because during those two dynasties China was ruled by the Mongols and Manchus, not the Han Chinese themselves.
By that logic, we couldn’t attribute WWII to Germany because Adolph was Austrian.
Maybe we shouldn’t.
There’s a China town in every major city in the world.
Is it an invasion? Not particularly in a military sense, but like the Chinese Lantern Flies or stink bugs, they’re here to stay.
The Chinese have an acute sense of history with long memories. They are extremely patient, goal oriented and have an uncanny knack for applying the ‘rope-a-dope’ strategy to global concerns.
China is a place where diversity is non-existent, and that’s the way they like it. The Chinese never stop being Chinese ever, and to the Chinese, all the world is China. China first, and they are honest about it.
What has brought America to it’s knees is the duplicitous nature of our political class in the conduct of their foreign policies. They’ve never been an honest broker in the world, and they’ve always had some kind of skim operation going.
Human beings always get the government they deserve.

Excellent roundup, James!
One thing, those jobs of which there are not enough to go around: It seems that a lot of Americans just don’t want to work! That doesn’t mean that immigrants can do the jobs. I see everywhere signs of slowdowns and “Help wanted” signs. In shops and elsewhere.
Maybe that is just local, but I have read about this also on ZeroHedge. That is “real” economic observers are saying the same. However they also mention people taking off a few (more) month to hone or acquire skills and look for a better job. So perhaps this is a different segment of the population that is failing to heed the call to get back to work.
Of coure vax mandates might also be influencing the employment profile in ways the Labor Department doesn’t want to discuss.
Regarding the number of those killed by covid vs the jab, and also the relative intelligence of the “hesitant” (better informed) at the FDA Advisory Vaccine Committee meeting on Sept. 17 there was some testimony that some kind soul pulled out in two relevant bits, here:
https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news-netcast/video/nightly-news-full-broadcast-september-17th-121217093715
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/bombshell-testimony-from-doctors-at-fda-vaccine-booster-hearing/
That worker shortage phenomenon definitely has more to it than meets the eye.
Walmart never shut down, so the shortage they claim to be experiencing can’t be a result of workers preferring to stay on unemployment.
I’ve been hearing anecdotal evidence that people are quitting due to having their hours cut and being expected to do the work formerly done by three.
Also, I could NEVER wear a mask all day long.
The emergency UE benefits are already suspended, and regular UE won’t last much longer (is it six or seven months before they kick you off in “normal” times?). It seemed like it would last forever in the spring, everyone just presumed they’d re-up them, cuz covid. Nope. So people will have to go back to work very soon, one way or another.
(of course, being unvaccinated will not help job prospects)
Someone in my family works in a business affiliated with a national chain.
They are still waiting for word to come down as to whether they should try to force shots on their employees, but most of them seem to have gotten the shots over the summer.
One of the vaccinated has just come down with the COVID.
It’s starting.
I have long felt that all of this “vaccine mandate” bloviating from Biden is pure blarney – a huge bluff – designed to panic people into getting jabbed out of a false sense of resignation that it is futile to resist the Woke BORG bastards.
In reality, the only people Biden has even a possible shred of authority to push around with his “mandates” are the military and other federal employees. He’s on much thinner ice with private employers, which is why he keeps mainly relying on Wokester corporate management to threaten folks with losing their jobs if they don’t get jabbed.
I think the whole vaccine mandate thing will ultimately fizzle out as the unjabbed litigate and riot and take other measures to resist and push back.
But by then the Biden folks will have achieved their objective which was to get about 75% of the country to possibly commit slow suicide by getting the gene therapy crap shot into their veins.
I hope you’re right, Wizard.
But I still don’t discount the idea of a National Guard truck outside my door within a year or two, including a doc or nurse wearing a lab coat and wielding a needle.
“We’re here to take away your child, unless you get vaccinated right now. You know, for everyone’s safety.”
If the majority of people continue to let this slide, there’s no reason it won’t get there fast.
Mango – I certainly get your concern. It’s not impossible. Hell, I used to think the things we watched happen in this country in 2020 were impossible. I’ve since revised my concept of what’s possible and impossible.
Anything is possible for a regime that is willing to be completely lawless and to use force to have its way.
For this reason, you are right to remain wary.
That 75-80% figure has more to do with the coming SSI digital ID passes.
I posted a link a while back from Thales, a contractor who I know for a fact is working with/has a contract with the German government (and potentially others) on said IDs.
They need 80% uptake by 2030 according to their own materials. It is also possible that they have accellerated the timeline.
All of this is about the passes, as they will be linked to banking, shopping, health data/care, etc. It is the ultimate form of control and the primary aim behind everything we are experiencing.
But what is the point of these passes?
Why, protection, of course.
They are creating a global digital control grid. Why not go inform yourself? Look up World Economic Forum Self Sovereign Identity pass.
If they get their way, you will need the pass to enter a store, conduct banking transactions, travel on a train, etc. Without the pass you are cut out of society. Everything you do that can be recorded digitally will be part of your “digital wallet.”
The “vaxx pass” is the precursor. They are using the so-called pandemic to herd people into the system, as no one would ever volunteer to be governed under such a system otherwise.
Go to the Thales website and have a look. This is a takeover. That is what the Great Reset/New Normal is. They are changing society and making you a serf unless you agree to let them control everything you do and jab yourself multiple times a year with gene-altering frankenshots.
Even better, go read “Covid-19 and the Great Reset.”
<‘ They are changing society and making you a serf unless
you agree to let them control everything you do and jab yourself multiple times a year with gene-altering frankenshots.
Hmm. This is contradictory.
Watch the film, V for Vendetta. Sort of a picture book representation of what Night Owl explains. Easy to follow, and quite effective, imo.
I’m hoping the manufacturers are secretly “improving” the vaccines so that by the time I’m forced to have it, it will be less likely to kill me. Of course, this assumes that “not killing people” is actually a goal here.
@ Nightowl
I wouldn’t be surprised if the only proof of vaccination that would be accepted was one on your cell phone, issued by a public health department. That would eliminate fake ones and force compliance. It’s a surveillance takeover and the purpose of all surveillance is control like in a panopticon where just a few monitor many. And the many never know when they’re being watched so they must meet the rules (no matter how arbitrary or illogical) or face punishment.
Yeah, SW. That is exactly what the plan is. That is how the WEF SSI pass will work, except that it is tied to everything you do in the digital world.
NO, Of course you are right.
They are already “going there” in Canada.
Ready to institute CBDC. I think the disgunstingly oleaginous Justin Trudeau has also even stated that they are going to to the Great Reset by 2030.
Your tip on the page of WEF “Young Leaders” was a good one. These plants are all over the place. Some years ago someone did some research (and published it) that revealed just how many EU representatives I think to the EUropean Parliament had been funded in various ways by Soros. We need the same thing for Schwab/WEF. I am not very good on creating databases, but I might have a go at at least creating a list.
The real nut of such info, though, would be to map each “young leader’s” connections to other orgs and people. One of those network maps. I checked out one of the Indian Young Leaders and he is head of something that is big in microfinancing women in India. I have read that microfinancing schemes are very lucrative for the investors.
IOW they are making money off these village women working their butts off to make a little money for their families. I am not against the idea of charging a little interest, but this interest should go back into the fund, for loans to more people. Not into a profit stream!!! Anyhow, I guess I am digressing big-time. However, this is all part of getting people hooked into digital networks of various kinds.
Well, the aim of the WEF is to “capture democractic institutions.” The quote is from Schwab himself and is even found on his Wikipedia bio.
Australia and New Zealand are test cases. They aren’t backing down there one bit.
France and Italy, too. Italy now has the most restrictive regulations of any country, and the French are barred from supermarkets. Draghi and Macron are WEF bankster psychopaths.
The French are barred from supermarkets? That’s crazy.
@ NO…I read on another blog recently where a commenter stated that when his grocery store required a pass to purchase food he would next day blow it up. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Just sayin’….
Night Owl – France and Italy, and unfortunately your homeland, included in Western European countries in my comments below.
Yes, but only a partial test – to see how long until they back down – which they will. They’ve both long since been disarmed we’ve seen this movie before vis-a-vis Hong Kong – after enough beatings from their own governments – they will back down, just a matter of time. How much time? The test will tell.
Both are unique, in that both have strict immigration control, so they are not being taken over from without by hordes of illegal immigrants like the lost Western European countries, but taken over entirely from within by their own authoritarian rulers.
The Western European countries, all also similarly disarmed, and were lost to a combination uncontrolled immigration and authoritarian rulers – taken over from within and without.
This same hybrid approach is being used today in the US – uncontrolled immigration and authoritarianism lite (so far). The distinct difference is that we are the last armed country in the world.
How to repel these dual threats to the US? Armed citizens may have to stop immigration at our Southern Border and armed citizens may have to stop authoritarianism in the streets.
I’ll let everyone figure out what the common denominator is in these two responses to the dual threats – threats from within and without.
Oz, NZ & the Western European countries have balls without guns. The US (so far) has guns without balls. If we have guns without balls – guns might as well be used for paperweights.
Ron: I thought ‘backing down’ in Jarek’s post referred to the authorities in Oz and NZ (as the UK government has backed down a couple of times over vaxx passes).
In Italy, it seems the majority of the people are all for the restrictions, as I read in this entirely mainstream article in The Spectator (mainstream but with a libertarian flavour):
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-curious-lack-of-opposition-to-italy-s-covid-il-green-pass-?
I don’t how it will work out in the UK, but since the previous ‘Vaccines Minister’ (yes, really) promised no vaxx passes, then proposed vaxx passes, the direction of travel is definitely away from the British tradition of not being obliged to carry identity documents. They would need to do it very gradually, as I can’t imagine most Brits being happy with a situation where people can’t buy food without a pass.
I should have mentioned that the constituent parts of the UK have their own devolved arrangements for health and therefore passes. Scotland is in the unfortunate position of being probably permanently under the thumb of the SNP, who have always, in my view, had dictatorial tendencies. And so there are to be passes, to get into large events (for now, obviously).
Scottish nationalists (the voters, in this instance) seem to me so enamoured of their emotional aspirations regarding political independence that the Dictator-in-Chief benefits from a kind of halo effect, in that people think her other policies, in this case draconian, must also come from a place of equally warm fuzziness. And so people go along with them.
I think what you mistake for ‘no balls’ is an overwhelming reluctance to ‘go first.’
That magic moment dangles before all of us. Our final bold move really, our last great act of defiance. Actually, this reluctance to get started on that project speaks to our patience, our faith in how discourse between reasonable people can settle disputes. Even after all that has transpired over these past six years, we are still patient, but I sense our patience too is wearing thin.
I don’t know when that magic moment occurs. It won’t be the loss of my job, which is pending. It may come a couple of days after being locked out of the supermarket. IDK. Certainly when the sense of having nothing left to lose sets in, and before I grow dizzy with hunger.
I don’t know when the magic moment will be here, but I sense it is heading this way… There won’t be a dry eye in the house when it arrives.
Ron, there are more than a few in this country with both firearms and balls. One of the primary obstacles to employment of said firearms by.the aforementioned guys with balls (and, from experience, there are more than a few courageous ladies in this country as well, ‘balls’ being understood here in the ‘yep, I suppose’ context) is called ‘responsibility’. All this has been written about, ad nauseum. There will be a time, I feel certain, in the not too far off future, that mom will roll her eyes; dad will set the paper down and say “ok, I’ve had enough of this shit”, and go to the room where dad keeps certain things that he doesn’t speak of, the kids aren’t allowed to know about – and this is why mom rolled her eyes… she knows we’re going there.
Jarek – expand, please, on this comment that Australia & New Zealand are “test cases”.
JFC is it really that hard to figure out? Try to get off factory settings, would you.
LOL.
Not to mention this exact topic is discussed here literally every fucking week with video footage and reams of evidence all pointing to where things are now.
“Tell me more about these test cases.”
I saw this fairly often, but each time I am bowled over by RL’s comments. You are so fucking stupid!
The central banks are pulling out the last stops now to prevent a general meltdown of hallucinated “wealth” around the world and you can probably measure the success of that last-ditch effort in days as we enter the cursed month of October, when skeletons dance on the graves of lost fortunes.
Indeed.
As I read this morning’s offering, “…hallucinated “wealth”… ” caused a flash of “hypothecated wealth” and “re-hypothecated wealth” to happen across a few synaptic connections.
“Port-a-Johns” and “Port-au-Prince’ is a close second.
Active imagination.
Ha ha ha … Great imagination!
And what of the move by China to delegitimise any use or investment in Cybercurrency?
Yes, indeed, MG!
For Jaws, you only need to hear two notes to name that tune. Get out of the water!!!
Hey, I thought cybercurrency was the new freedom money. You know, cutting out the big banks and hiding all your transactions from Big Brother? Guess I’ll just have to stick with PMs.
Nothing digital enhances individual freedom, in my view.
You gotta be analogue.
Agree. Analogue. But how much cash can one hide in a small apartment??
Islander: probably enough to buy a bigger apartment to hide it all in.
China has been buying gold hand over fist for some time now (probably with our worthless bonds). They’ve encouraged their people to hold gold. They also have three big, deep, mines they’ve set their Uyghur slaves to working, and they don’t report what they’re taking out of the ground. My guess is they are sitting on a mountain of the barbarous relic. Do you suppose they could force a reprice? And by how much before we nuke them? 50%, 100, 200?
Indeed, how would anyone outside of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee members and a few trusted minions who guard the gold reserves have any clue as to how much gold the government of China is truly sitting on?
Hell, folks in this country are not entirely sure how much gold remains in Fort Knox these days. That is an ongoing controversy, despite government denials to the contrary.
What entity from outside of China audits the gold owned by China? None, is the likely answer.
So, they could be building huge stockpiles in preparation for a move to depose the USD as the world’s reserve currency and to replace it with a gold-backed Chinese Yuan. This would be a very swift kick in the nuts to Uncle Sam and our domestic elites.
We’d be castrated, like the British Pound Sterling was when the Bretton Woods conference was over and the USD was enthroned as the new post-WW2 global currency standard.
Of course, this country laid the groundwork for this coming disaster once Nixon closed the gold window on 8/15/1971. The dollar has been in a more or less 50 year long free fall in value since then. Time is growing short for the global U.S. financial hegemony.
I would be happy with 300%, to start.
Russia has also been buying up bullion for years now.
Here is Investopedia’s take on who has the most gold.
https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/040715/what-countries-have-largest-gold-reserves.asp
But are they reliable? Do the USA and Germany really hold as much gold as stated?
Russia supposedly has 2,295.4 tonnes.
Just parenthetically, Wizard – there have reportedlly been numerous “requests” to audit the bullion holdings in Fort Knox, and each and every one has been denied or deflected.
Including demands from members of Congress.
That sort of report does little to inspire confidence. As does the tale of the troubles the Germans ran into when attempting to retrieve their bullion left for “safekeeping” in New York.
(Link is old but gives a flavor of what the Germans encountered):
https://www.mining.com/germans-give-up-on-getting-back-their-gold-held-in-us-45305/
I was reading an article from a magazine about a family who were mostly vaccinated, but nonetheless got sick with COVID and spread it around, despite bizarre behavior such as wearing N-95 masks.
What struck me in the article was that the writer was obviously intelligent and educated, but his story read just like that- a story.
It sounded like a child who reaches the age where they no longer believe in Santa Claus, but they want to believe so bad that they start telling themselves tales about how Santa manages to do such impossible things.
Even though they saw their parents brining in the bags from Walmart.
Cognitive dissonance.
vaccine dissonance
Vaccine-induced autism.
I’m not looking to get into a pissing match on covid vaccination, nor am I even remotely expert in real or potential side effects, but I do understand numbers.
Vermont has a covid death rate per 100,000 of 48. Mississippi is at 316 and rising.
Vermont’s vaccination rate (at least one dose) has passed 87% while Mississippi is at 46%.
Granted, our Governor (a Republican if it matters to anyone) did a better job than most Governors, despite his doing some of the same nonsensical “essential vs non-essential” crap done in most States, but it hard to ignore the correlation between a Vermont’s high vaccination rate/low death rate as compared to Mississippi’s low vaccination rate/high death rate.
I’d compare the rate of poor black people with comorbidities in Mississippi with Vermont.
I’ll add these so-called numbers are suspect in the initial instance and whatever they represent needs to be placed in a context which includes, as noted, the population, life-style, and confounding factors including co-morbidities.
I’d add “known unknowns.” That is, there is undoubtedly more to it than meets the eye.
For example, can we be certain that TPTB do not aerosol places with low vax rates to both punish the hesitant and to further their evil agenda?
Not to mention the availability of early treatment.
All of these data need to be far more nuanced than they are—with far more data points—in order for us to understand the actual dangers of covid vs. the dangers of the jabs.
Naturally we will not really know the latter for years to come.
.
Obesity being a big problem. Lots of fat black people eating fried foods and BBQ in Mississippi. Lots of healthy outdoorsy, white folks in Vermont. Heart disease rates probably far higher in Mississippi. This is an apples and oranges situation. COVID alone is unlikely to explain the divergence in hospital death rates.
Don’t forget they fiddle with the PCR process of brewing up gene gunk depending on jab status.
Unjabbed samples are run at something like 50 cycles, while jabbed samples only get 25 cycles.
Yeah, I’m in Vermont, too. So many things are different between Vt and Miss it’s hard to make a comparison. Vermont was doing “great” long before vaccines, despite being next to NY and MA. It’s a bit of puzzle, really. But Vermont is really different, everything is diffenet, even from neighboring states. For example, it’s pretty much impossible to eat “fast food” here — you might find a McDonald’s if you look hard enough. There are apparently 29 in the state, but I can only think of maybe five. There are pretty much NO large events here, or high-capacity venues, or even large employers. Low population density. People are loners, too. And lots of farmers who generally have great immune systems. Lots of well water, for good or bad. Lots of “organic food” etc. Not a lot of chemicals sprayed all over the place. It’s just endless. But obesity is really obvious one.
Black people are something like 1% of Vermont’s population but we are at or near being the oldest average age population in the country. Lots of old folks here, not so many children or young adults anymore.
I recall reading [long ago] there were 3 murders in one year in Vermont.
All the killers were [fill in race here].
Over the past 10 years Vermont has averaged 10 – 11 murders per year. Sort of like a long weekend in Chicago except it takes all year to get there.
Its not vaccination rates but comorbidities.
Obesity rates and diabetes.
Diet and exercise on display.
benr
Exactly. Compare this:
“About 78% of people who have been hospitalized, needed a ventilator or died from Covid-19 have been overweight or obese, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a new study Monday.”
With this:
Vermont % of population who are obese: 27
Mississippi % of population who are obese: 39.1
If you add in the overweight category, an astounding 71% of Mississippi’s population qualifies (although to be fair Vermont is no great shakes at 55%).
In contrast to the Cadaver-in-Chief’s pronouncement that this is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”, a more accurate assessment is that it is a pandemic of the lard-asses.
Lol, “pandemic of the lard-asses” has a nice ring to it.
Mom always said not to eat until you’re full for a reason.
Mom always said not to eat until you’re full for a reason. – Mango
===========
^This^ is an excellent example of poor sentence structure.
Let me get this straight, Mango, are you saying that your mom, for some very good reason, felt that one should not begin eating until they felt themselves full? That’s kind of counter-intuitive isn’t it? I’m sure that is not what you intended to say.
Sigh.
It’s conversational tone, Q.
“Mom always said not to eat until you’re full for a reason.”
I had to reread this a couple of times to figure out the intended sense.
Mom always said not to eat until you’re full for a reason. – Mango
===========
I will grant that there are two possible senses that can be taken from this sentence but why confuse people? Why not start over by writing a sentence or sentences with only one possible sense?
There you go. Precisely.
Whites seem to naturally live longer than Blacks just as East Asians live longer than Whites.
Yet some of the longest lived Individuals in America are Black. The mean and the extreme usually vary proportionately, but not always.
Don’t forget, black people are very often deficient in vitamin D. They evolved in the tropics, where there’s no shortage of sunshine. No problem. Here in the temperate zone, less sunshine, big problem. There’s an easy fix, of course, but most don’t take advantage of it. Far more blacks in Mississippi than in Vermont.
Thanks for saying what I wanted to, so much better.
Benr: That is, the factors that are never mentioned by the MSM.
There was a video going around last week of a “previously healthy” 16-year-old girl hospitalized with covid and fighting for every breath. The poor thing was a candidate for My 600 lb Life.
Helth!
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/helth
How were the stats determined. What was the test used to determine if they had “Covid” and whether “Covid” actually killed anyone.
The PCR test does not work for diagnosis, and that means that the stats are bogus. That is a verifiable fact, and the CDC itself recently said the same after defrauding the public for over a year.
I await the numbers that you claim to understand and can surely back with concrete evidence.
I’m guessing you will get *crickets*
Meanwhile, Israel is the highest vaccinated population and their covid19 infections are rising, mostly among the unvaxxed.
Comparing Mississipi to Vermont is like comparing apples to oranges. Consider the poverty, etc.
Do we know that the deaths in Mississipi are from ‘covid19’? Nope. Also, their population fatality rate is still 0.315%. Hardly a reason for concern.
Israel is the highest vaccinated population and their covid19 infections are rising, mostly among the unvaxxed.
You mean among the vaxxed, right? Last I heard (two weeks ago? maybe things have changed) their helath minister said 86% of people in the hospital ‘with covid’ were double vaxxed.
YES thank you. Sheesh.
Exactly, Mary. It isn’t for nothing that Mississippi has long been known for being dead-last in just about every category that matters in this world for as long as anyone can remember.
The last time Mississippi was on-top was 1860, when Mississippi was the wealthiest per capita state in the union. It wasn’t for nothing that Jeff Davis, a Mississippian, was president of the Confederacy.
But the war ended all of that and poor old Mississippi has never recovered from the war and Reconstruction. It is the Hait of America. A permanently failed state.
As Mango said, I meant “among the VAXXED” not unvaxxed. Pardon my mis-type.
Aren’t they still counting deaths with cov as deaths by cov?
In the last blog, I presented the data showing that the southern states surge before the northern states across the board. Right now, the southern states have plateaued and are on their way down, while the north is still increasing in their surges.
Why? Good question but it is beyond vaxx rates.
Temp, length of day, % indoor time?
Poverty, quality of ventilation systems, proximity to the tropics, hurricane passage, % urbanization.
No data on anything, so decisions are made based on BS circumstantial data in small population samples. Or people’s made up opinions. How to make a statement about anything any more, present your opinion and put MD behind your name.
Science is BS, it is totally political, everyone needs to get what data exists and decide for themselves what to do.

From Naomi Wolf on Telegram:
“Singapore’s health ministry reported 1,504 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, the highest since the beginning of the pandemic.
With 82% of the population fully vaccinated against the virus, the country has had one of the longest on-going mask mandates in the world.”
I do not know if ‘cases’ means ‘infections’.
The fact that the CDC is allowing PCR testing to continue until Dec 31 after disavowing them months ago is egregious…an entire half year of bs numbers, only halfway there now.
One marvels at the sheer magnitude of this pile of bull shit.
Have a little sympathy, MrMango
After a year and a half’s investment creating the image of the “Gold Standard” for COVID testing and fine tuning the “case” surges to fit the FEAR campaign,you expect the CDC and it’s owners to just cast aside all the good work? What are they to replace it with that begins to fit their needs as well? It’s been over a month since the CDC’s Friday evening mea-culpa. How many Americans actually know what happens when the Tech puts their brain swab into a tube and ships it off to the lab for analysis?
“The Science” is whatever you can convince people to believe. Or just create a blank space between their ears where the capacity for logic and deduction might have once resided.
Without the PCR fraud that enables a COVID case to be declared if a single molecule out of ten trillion can be found that might possibly be a nano-particle fragment of some form of virus contacted at some time in the past the entire pandemic might never have been marketable. Nobody knows—make that NOBODY —if the millions of positive PCR test results around the world signify a massive pandemic or a massive misuse of a scientific procedure that is physically incapable of identifying a live virus.
Be a PUREBLOOD. not a Sheeple.
Have you noticed that now “unvaccinated” means the same thing as “infected”?
For example, two year old babies can’t be vaccinated yet, so they must be made to keep their breath from infecting others, as if vaccination cleanses them from the contagion they carry.
I have several friends that now have this viewpoint, though they generally try to mask it by claiming that they’re not worried for themselves (as they’ve been vaccinated), but that they really just “care about my safety”. They wouldn’t want “us” to get sick, you see.
That said, one of them sheepishly will not allow us in his home anymore, thanks to pressure from his PhD (in psychology, mind you) wife, who supposedly “loves us”. Welp, so much for that yearly roadtrip/visit. Apparently our similar-aged children will not know each other growing up now.
And I gotta say, I feel for my buddy if he has to deal with that type of mindset at home, and likely forever. The choice is clearly not up to him…
Now you’re talking! Stay on that train. Feminism was supposed to transform the world. Yet it couldn’t change human nature. It couldn’t stop women from “looking up”. As they made their own money, their standard for husbands skyrocketed in proportion. Feminism was supposed to free men as well. That was the claim. But instead it left countless men invisible. And countless women alone.
When you head a women say “purrfect” – chills should run up your spine. Nothing is perfect, not you, not her, not men, not women.
My wife is kickass. But yes, I do I know several others out there that I’m very glad I’m not accountable to.
Kickass meaning cool I assume? Because many men are physically abused by their women, fearing to complain only to be mocked or worse – destroyed by the legal system.
Yes, that is it.
Unvaxxed = unclean.
Jarek – Sigh…
Is it any surprise that the massive criminal abuse of our children is fronted by Acting President Mr. HairSniffer?
We can’t know if cases == infections.
For several reasons, a positive PCR finding is meaningless.
I received a call on my cell phone while driving around that a PCR test I’d had the same morning came back positive.
This left me thunderstruck because I’d had absolutely no symptoms (PCR test was for Immigration application).
That afternoon I went to another “drive-through” location for a less pricey PCR test and of course it came back negative.
What a joke.
Planned Obfuscation. PO.
A new acronym for the acronym-confused and not-so-acronym-confused because the confusion is built right into it.
These numbers mean nothing. Or at least, not what you think.
The epicenter of the virus was NYC. That’s because NYC is a massive travel hub, with millions of people from high-infection regions hitting New Yawk airports within weeks of the “first bloom”.
Then, the virus radiated from NYC like spokes.
Vermont, with its close proximity both geographically and cultural to NYC, peaked early.
Mississippi is not a travel hub and has a relatively low rate of human exchange with the epicenter in the Northeast.
Therefore, Mississippi is where NYC (and Vermont) were 8 or 10 months ago.
It’s got eff-all to do with DaVax, and everything to do with prior infection rates.
Don’t swallow prepackaged narratives. Do the math yourself.

Israel? Iceland? WTF?
This is your daily reminder that the virus has yet to be isolated — i.e. never proven to exist. All that does exist is a computer model of what them Drosten claim it could look like.
The shots, however, are a direct injection of toxic spike proteins, and those shots were ready to go the minute “the virus” came ’round.
Remove the errant “them.”
Thank you.
Let’s review:
Covid19 = never proven to exist
PCR tests = can’t detect infection
“Cases” = lies because PCR tests can’t detect infection
“Variants” = vaccine injury
Hospital deaths from ‘covid19’ = mostly untreated respiratory infections, or illness caused by Remdesivir. Doctors refused to treat early stage ‘infections’ so they got out of control.
Deaths from covid19 = people who died with a positive test, from comorbidities, and again, tests are garbage & don’t detect anything.
Every single thing we’ve been told by our ‘leaders’ and the MSM is a lie. All lies can be traced back to the fact this virus has never been proven to exist.
I nearly choked last night listening to Dr. Siegel on with Tucker yacking about what a great early treatment Remdesiver is for Covid!
It’s a killer! Either Dr. Siegel isn’t up on his medical literature reading or he is in on the scam! $$$$

You have to come up with a positive look at all your denials.
If no Covid, what is making all these people sick at a higher transmission rate?
What are the PCR tests calling positive?
Variants, a result of natural selection in the face of an adverse environment with vaccines. Evolution faster than our countermeasures, vaccines are too slow, we need cures.
Listening to you, there is no sickness, no epidemic, it is in everyone’s imagination.
Sounds like an episode of the Twilight Zone.
TV doctors are far more about TV than doctoring.
John, I would say the oodles of corona viruses we deal with each year; the uptick comes from shot-induced immune system deficiency as more people inject more spike proteins into their bodies.
You never did answer how flu disappeared from the statistics during the so-called pandemic. Do you not find that odd? It’s unheard of.
Anything and everything is labeled Corona, and this is enabled by turning up the PCR cycle rate. Since the PCR does not actually provide any information on sickness with “covid,” they can run the stats however they want within certain limits (people actually admitted to the hospital, for example).
The plan is rather brilliant when combined with the fact that the criminals have nearly full control of the requisite health bodies as well as the McMedia. They control WHO; Hopkins; GAVI; CDC; NIH; NIAD, and, over here, the RKI and Bundesgesundheitsministerium. Lockstep
All that is required beyond that is a fearful population.
There is a great document that just came out showing how incredibly expansive the public/private partnerships are. Will post in a few mins.
JohnAZ, the whole thing is a fucking hoax.
I wish you’d wake up.
There IS NO PANDEMIC.
OK, so Fausti, et al, are on the hook for funding GOF. Wuhan lab created the chimeric corona virus by adding a much more effective furin cleavage mechanism for the toxic spike protein. That chimera escaped the lab, one way or another, and quickly spread around the world, merrily mutating as it flew. The virus chimera and its offspring have not been “isolated” in the sense of their physical whole structure. But it’s now elementary to accurately reveal the genetic structure of all of them, and that’s been done. That’s how they know it’s an engineered virus, and also how they know why it’s so dangerous. The spike protein is the toxin, and the engineered furin cleavage mechanism is what makes it vastly more efficient infecting human cells. It opens the door to our cells, easy as pie. It’s mostly useless against our first line of defense — nasal and sinus mucosal tissue. But, get a big enough inoculum, and it can quickly get much further into our lower respiratory system, where it can begin to overwhelm our immune response, especially in the old and infirm.
That’s my understanding of the process. Correct me if I’m wrong, please.
The so-called vaccines are making things far worse by introducing only the toxic spike protein for our immune systems to respond to. The “vaccines” are non-sterilizing, do not kill the virus, thus paving the way for more effective mutants to arise, not to mention flooding the jabbed with those toxic spike proteins in the first place.
So, there’s plenty of evil to go around and get around!
Don’t accept the evil jabs, but don’t keep saying there’s no virus! The virus itself is not a hoax. It’s real and real different, cuz evil humans like Fausti and Barick. The responses to it? Giant hoax, for sure.
Sorry for the long post. It hurt me probably more than it hurt y’all.
If the virus does not exist, neither do the spike proteins, if we cannot isolate the virus, same with the proteins.
So where are the things in the vaccines coming from that are damaging folks if there are no spike proteins.
How did they get a footprint for the spike protein in the vaccine without a model to base it on?
Unanswered questions!
A really dark possibility is that the substance manufactured by the mRNA is really a genetic “poison” generated by the PTB to cull out weak sisters in the populist.
Have you read Inferno? The virus there sterilized 2/3 of the male population.
The spike proteins exist in all corona viruses; they give the corona family its name.
The vaccines were manufactured. MRNA technology is independent of the spike protein. The tech. programs cells to produce whatever the maker has designed it to program; in this case, it programs cells to produce spikes.
Anyways. The link I promised: https://www.disclose.tv/the-covid-network-an-analysis/
People are dying because they are being given Remdesivir or not treated for regular occurring respiratory illnesses that have always happened.
Covid19 hoax = death, rebranded. That is all.
NO
“The spike proteins exist in all corona viruses; they give the corona family its name.”
The problem, if I understand it correctly, is that the jabs deliver the spikes directly into our blood stream and hence into every organ of the body. IOW bypassing our natural defenses against them in our respiratory tracts.
Thus, the jabs are a dream come true for the spikes!! They are like opening a backdoor to the body’s whole physiology instead of making the spikes run the gauntlet of the natural defense in our mucous membranes of the nose and throat.
Here is a pretty good paper–not sure whether it has been approved for publication or not, but it lays out a lot of the problems with the jabs with the proper scientific citations:

Your numbers look good on the surface.
I imagined a bigger story a couple decades ago. How to off the bulk of humanity and preserve the industrial infrastructure? The only feasible method would be an engineered pathogen. It seems that turned out to be too difficult. Apparently, we’re at Plan B: scare ’em with a pathogen and convince most to volunteer for lethal injections and follow up with forced lethal injections.
The limits of exponential financial growth, I would offer, are much more impressive numbers than published covy stats.

~toktomi~
Were Mississippi’s “covid deaths” really covid deaths? Throughout this whole fiasco, hospitals have notorious labelled pretty much all deaths from all causes as covid deaths–and getting paid a tidy sum ($13,000) for each “covid” patient, and $40,000 if they put them on a vent.
The first “covid death” in my county was a guy in hospice care.
If you want to cook your books, all you have to do is ramp up the cycles on the PCR test and diagnose everyone with covid, and ring the register. Everyone who dies is a “covid death.”
If you want to cook your books to show few covid deaths, you dial down the number of cycles on the PCR test, and diagnose almost no one with covid.
,
I’m in Vermont, too. Lots of applause for our amazing “response” to Covid, but the correlation you mention is one of many that don’t necessarily carry much weight. For one thing, 80% of Covid deaths are in the obese, and Mississippi is one of the most obese states in the country. Vermont has done well (so far) for very mundane reasons: We’re a tiny state with not a whole lot of people but lots of fresh air.
As for the “so far” part: The health department reported 1,500 cases last week, against 25 the same week last year in a completely unvaxxed population. It fits the trend of the most-vaxxed states and countries seeing massive case spikes. Chances are that Vermont’s blue-ribbon status is going to boomerang big-time once flu season hits–and vaccine-induced ADE along with it.
Same here Jeff. Comparing the two states is really not a fair measure of the success or not of the vax due to the immense differences in the population and lifestyle. VT tends to be in the top in any study of population health while MS ranks at the bottom in pretty much all measures(other than obesity!). With Covid taking a greater toll on blacks for a number of reasons, some possibly unclear, it’s not a mystery that MS is doing far worse than VT.
While the folks here in VT would like to attribute our relative success with Covid thus far to our vax numbers and religious adherence to masks and social distancing, I’d say it’s not quite the actual truth. And as you note, our Covid numbers are high as are our hospitalizations, as compared to last year when we were totally unvaxed. But of course they are blaming the unvaxed for all of it and trying to force any holdouts to get vaxed.
I’d guess that some of our low numbers, besides low obesity levels relatively speaking, is also due to the rural nature of the state and how pretty much most things just aren’t happening anymore with the exception of some outdoor events.
I can tell you that I personally have not been welcome in anyone’s home for over a year, other than an unvaxed family member and acquaintance. I am shunned by most of the vaxed and treated as a leper. Most events I see advertised are requiring proof of vaccination. The fear level is so high that I saw quite a number of masked people outdoors in Montpelier when I was there last week. I even saw a guy raking the leaves in his yard wearing a mask!
Covid has brought out an ugliness that I didn’t realize existed here; am definitely looking to relocate when I can.
Mountain Gal:
I wish there were a mechanism for the unvaxxed to connect and make relocation plans!
I guess Vermont is beautiful, but incredibly self-righteous.
You have Life? Good. Then Life has you as well All of you! Every organ, every drop of blood and, of course, your brain: your mind. But I have free will!, you say. Of course you do. Sort of.
Now Life is normally quite placid. Even though Life lives on by consuming itself; the feasting is benign, as it is with all Life’s wards; with one notable exception. You. And the rest of the human race. We are Life consuming gluttons extraordinaire. Think Gettysburg, Dachau, Hiroshima and …factory farming: ad nauseam.This is not new, of course. Our behavior is old news. Life has cut slack to humans because we have a uniqueness that has warranted observation over time. Time may have just run out.
Humans now have the ability to destroy the biosphere. Our pernicious conduct may have convinced Life that without its prompt.interjection; it is inevitable.Enter Mr.Covid 19. Force Majeure of modern plagues. Sponsor of the blame game to end all blame games. Seven billion people have an opinion…and an asshole. The ones who have a microphone or a computer demonstrate both, daily. Think Life has a hand in all this? Maybe the plague is a worldwide distraction to give the Biosphere a little breathing room to heal from ongoing human assault? Hmmm.
Millions are dead. Millions are becoming infected every day. The virus twists and turns and presents a new face constantly. We rush to keep up but seemingly always lag behind. How so? Is it out of our hands?
You’re essentially making the Algae Bloom argument, and in many respects I agree.
It should be plain to see, however, that those who believe themselves to be more (prescient, knowledgeable, smarter, better, or elite), than the rest of us seem to want to help mother nature along.
That’s the problem, and that is well within our power to change.
“Life” doesn’t have a “hand in things” because it’s just a vague definition to distinguish one category of matter from another.
Likewise, biospheres don’t “heal” because they aren’t organisms. It is again a vague definition that means, loosely, “all the stuff that happens to be alive right now”.
And why should this mythical healing process benefit, say, barn swallows and raccoons when it so spectacularly failed mastodons and velociraptors?
That’s because there’s no such thing. Only a mindless collection of forces and conditions to which a species either adapts, or succumbs.
Which brings us to Covid. It’s not some desperate defense from mama Gaia.
It comes to us courtesy of the CCP, with a bit of financing provided by Fauci’s CDC.
You might as well sell Huitzipotchli or Odin as the source. Heck, that’d be good news!
Sacrifice a Virginia or two, and it’s all fixed.

“Maybe the plague is a worldwide distraction to give the Biosphere a little breathing room to heal from ongoing human assault?”
You seem to be imagining the biosphere as an intelligent, quasi-human entity (perhaps a god or goddess) who plans and makes decisions, perhaps with the aid of the great spreadsheet in the sky. Other people think that the Great Tribulation is upon us and the Hand of Judgement is being restrained by the gentle hand of Mary and the prayers of the faithful, to allow time for repentance. Some others think that we approach the end of the Kali Yuga.
You have chosen your religion; you could just as well have chosen another. Maybe somebody is right. Maybe not.
The plain and objectively observable facts are that nature has its own laws, which for practical purposes are pretty well known. Animal populations of all species experience population overshoots and die-offs. Plant populations thrive and are followed by replacement species.
It is believed that, between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago the human population was reduced to only 1,200 (the population bottleneck).
There have subsequently been innumerable plagues, floods, famines, wars, Ice Ages, polar excursions, volcanic eruptions, and so forth. Maybe this was because the biosphere just gets mad every now and then. Or maybe not.
Your explanation is fanciful–a fanciful as the idea that throwing a virgin in a volcano is a good way to appease the volcano god.
QUOTE: ***The plain and objectively observable facts are that nature has its own laws, which for practical purposes are pretty well known.***
What makes the ‘facts’ you speak of, ‘plain and objectively observable’?
Can we make any observations at all without any a priori assumptions, aka beliefs?
In the scheme of things this is a very mild pandemic. World population was higher at the end of last year than at the beginning and it will again be higher at the end of this year than at the beginning. Covid-19isn’t even making a dent.
Covid might not be denting the population to any great degree but the vaxes may well do so in the countries where they have been heavily used.
It fascinates me how some here have to comment on Robert’s thoughts on the Biosphere by equating it with (supposedly) primitive superstitions and the like. The question I want to ask here is why. Robert wasn’t trying to proselytize. He used the word ‘maybe’ when presenting his thoughts on the Biosphere.
The Western world’s relationship with religion seems always to have been a very troubled one throughout history, swinging from one extreme to the other. Fanatical proselytism and persecution of unbelievers on the one hand, on the other a complete denial of all meaning and purpose which seeks, with the same degree of fanaticism, to reduce everything to the blind workings of dumb, brute matter.
It needs to be asked (I think) if this utterly nihilistic view of things might not be precisely the root cause of the whole sorry sorry state of affairs to which Western ‘civilization’ has now led us all. Certainly Solzhenitsyn thought so. (I’m NOT defending fanatical proselytism and the persecution of unbelievers, by the way; they’re just as rotten, though in a different way.)
Gr8 comment Asia.
Another excellent offering today, James, thank you!
“Chiefly, the vaccine is not a vaccine and it will probably end up killing more people than the Covid-19 disease and its variants. A lot of those deaths will be caused in the months ahead by damage to people’s hearts and other organs from spike proteins generated via mRNA shots.”
Yes, the carnage is just starting to be exposed. It’s way worse than even I thought it was. The past 2 days I’ve seen so much come to light that it’s very difficult to deal with. Parents realizing they’re ruined their child’s health, because they didn’t bother to research what was going on. Hell, can’t even blame them, they were misinformed and lied to, and told the ‘vaccine’ was ‘safe’. It certainly is not. And of course the deaths.
I think we will see more and more whistleblowers from inside ‘healthcare’ as more of them lose their jobs for refusing the jab.
“THESE PATIENTS DESERVE TO BE HEARD” -VAERS WHISTLEBLOWER
“In a Highwire exclusive, Deborah Conrad, a hospitalist physician’s assistant on the frontlines of the pandemic, pulls back the curtain on the complete lack and disregard in her hospital for reporting Covid vaccine injury to VAERS, this country’s only mechanism to track the safety of these rushed-to-market, mandated products. In riveting detail, including emails & recorded phone conversations, Conrad exposes the internal push to turn a blind eye to injuries and “tow the company line” that this vaccine is safe.”
https://thehighwire.com/videos/these-patients-deserve-to-be-heard-vaers-whistleblower/
I have never said that JHK is wrong, but i hope he is wrong about the vaccine. Because I have been vaccinated. I got vaxxed for all the right reasons. But that does mean much if I die for it.
I am sure that you and a lot of other people feel the same way. Everyone has made their choice at this point and will simply have to live or die by the sword.
From what I can see, the odds are pretty good that if you weren’t harmed yet, you aren’t going to be.
Nobody knows this stuff for certain.
That is extremely short-sighted of you and especially so when one considers the mounting evidence that the spike proteins are constantly causing cumulative damage and that we are still in the early months of the Biggest medical experiment in mankind’s history.
One might go so far as calling you “naive” with such rosey conculsions.
——
You can ignore reality but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.
– Ayn Rand
I’m not being naive. I am merely pointing out that there is much we don’t know about these shots.
It was conjecture that these vaccines might keep you out of the hospital.
It’s also conjecture that they could cause harm down the line, if they haven’t already.
Why should anyone who has taken the shots and can’t undo that now worry over something that only “could” happen?
To start, d-dimer test and blood thinners.
Beryl
When ever someone starts on the horse paste theme I invite them to take a horse appropriate dosage of Pfizer. For most that means two shots for each arm and two for each butt cheek. It hasn’t yet been tested at large scale, but indications are that more than five x injections will be fatal. Are you willing to volunteer to test it? Didn’t think so!
ps (Nothing personal Beryl!)
So are you ready to line up for #6 of your bi-annual booster* as your “vaccine” droops below 37% efficacy after less than six months as is happening in Israel? At least the Israeli’s are likely to test how many boosters are need to reach the Red Line because they have such a head start *4) on the rest of us.
* Endless boosters seem to be the only game plan on offer from the Vaccine Pushers —-.
The second is often worse than the first. Cumulative damage. Can we not guess that the third will be worse again?
Ah, Berry, Berry, Berry. You too?
We are talking about someone who is already vaccinated. Someone with no intention of getting more shots. There’s a good chance they will be fine.
Capisce?
Teddy, I’m sure you’ll get no “told ya so” from people here. Just please don’t take anymore shots or boosters. I think Dr Zelenko, the guy who treated Trump, has a protocol of self-help measures for those who took the jab, to reduce any possible side effects. Hang in there!
Hear! Hear!
You did nothing Wrong, Ted. You were deceived.
Pray to God for forgiveness of your sins. Pray for Wisdom & Strength as we face this dark night.
And … no more jabs. It is The Beast System and it is our mandate to not participate in it.
God bless you!
I keep hoping the vaccines don’t turn out to shorten the lifespans of millions of Americans either. My mother, sister, and brother in law all recently succumbed to the fear porn about the Delta Variant (!!!) and got jabbed. My sister is now double-jabbed. So far, they’ve tolerated it well, but my sister said it was a rough few days after the first jab. So, no, I don’t want to be proven right and lose family members.
But, sadly, everything I read leaves me to believe that this won’t end well for many of the vaccinated. It might take 5 or 10 years before we have any true sense of how the greatest vaccine trial in all human history actually turned out.
I just don’t want to be one of the hapless guinea pigs.
@teddy
my take:
The only difference between your fate and the fate of the unvaccinated is a fraction of a fraction of a % of the probability of near term extermination. That is, we’re all dead. You simply volunteered for it.
~toktomi~
Teddy:
Many people have no adverse reactions.
And the jab may well have prevented you from catching the coof! There is simply no way to prove a negative unless genuine random-control trials are run. And even then there is no way to prove a negative for a specific person. So, look on the bright side. You haven’t caught, right?
But please don’t take any more shots!! There are effective treatmants if you should get it. Here is a paper featured at Market Ticker
And do start with supplements to boost your immune system:
Vitamins D and C, 50 mgs zinc + quercetin.
Here is a protocol (from the Market-Ticker) that was published in January 2021 but no one noticed:
1. Early start of treatment, regardless of the severity of patient symptoms.
– Antihistamines every 12 h: dexchlorpheniramine 2 mg, cetirizine 10 mg or loratadine 10 mg.
2. Patients with mild or recent-onset symptoms (cough, fever, general malaise, anosmia, polymyalgia):
– Azithromycin 500 mg orally every 24 h for 3 days if there is rapid improvement, and for 6 days if the duration of symptoms is prolonged.
– If pain or fever, acetaminophen 650 mg/6–8 h.
– Nasal washing and gargling with sodium bicarbonate water (half a glass of warm water with half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate).
3. If symptoms of severity (dyspnea, breathing difficulty, mild or moderate chest pain, with SpO2 100 beats per minute at any time of the process):
– Antihistamines + Azithromycin (see mild treatment management)
– Levofloxacin 500 mg/12 h, up to 14 days of antibiotic treatment from diagnosis.
– Mepifilin solution, 50 mg/8 h as a bronchodilator, until subjective improvement. Patients with previous lung disease (asthma or COPD) used their usual bronchodilators.
– If the patient experienced increased breathing difficulty, prednisone 1 mg/kg/day divided into two doses until clinical improvement, and then it was slowly tapered down.
4. Prophylactic treatment for close contacts, including all asymptomatic residents:
– Antihistamines at the same dose as symptomatic patients.

I, too; am blessed beyond measure. And I worked 56 years to get here. Thank you folks here (many of you, anyway) for truly “making my mornings!
That’s truly heartfelt, Grandpa, and really charming.
Long may you wave.
after a nice start to my morning like that, I go clean my guns. – Grandpa

Why, did they get dirty while you slept?
And that marmalade is basically the quinine in hydroxychloriquine.
@JTin
ya, ya, ya
been following the guy’s musings since the long emergency
However, I find the gems to be scattered ever so lightly across the landscape these days. Revelation is a not something that can be indulged lavishly with such an extensive following; it’s unhealthy despite Caesar’s indifference at this late stage in the game.
~toktomi~
My memory was jostled by our host’s invective regarding the New York Times and its self-adulatory declaration of their being the stewards of “… the news fit to print”. Back when I was in high school more than 50 years ago, I remember hearing the following aphorism; “Life magazine is for people who can’t read and Time magazine is for people who can’t think.” How might one add a pithy assessment of the New York Times to this ditty?
The New York Times is for people with parakeets.
Or a litter of puppies…
Well, it gives those bird brains something to read,
And a method to express their opinions.
And something to put on the bottom of the bird cage!
Lol….
NY times is 4 snack cakes.
The New York Times is for people who can afford it!
Yup, and it is just starting.
Covid has no solution, it eventually will burn through the population in spite of vaccines, masks etc. it is ubiquitous, it it waiting for us inside everywhere. The vaxx boys have again pushed their agenda to beat down the fixit boys as no remedial situation exists for any virus disease.
Covid has finished off a few more folks, invaded more organs and created long term effects that aspirin cannot fix. That is what separates it from say the flu. That is what has allowed the Left to raise the fear factor to enhance their control.
When HIV hit in the 80s, it caused a total restructure of the medical hardware. It was blood borne. It scared the hell out of nursing as most procedures were done by them. As data accumulated, and remedies happened, the fear factor declined. The procedures stayed conservative though and a real respect for needle sticks still pervades the industry.
What is it going to take to emphasize the battle against viruses? Not vaccines, cures. Covid viruses with the killing power of HIV or Ebola?
Hope not, or the mass reduction of humans that Hollywood presents periodically may just happen.
I know a woman who was in an Ebola outbreak. We stayed in touch through the internet during the outbreak. They shut her health screening clinic because of Ebola so she had some time to do video chats. The Africans were doing things to stop the outbreak but it didn’t seem like they were going hysterical about it. She didn’t get locked down she just volunteered at a school. I wonder if the US had an outbreak of a disease with an Ebola like survival rate how could CNN dial up the hysteria proportionaly to what they did for COVID, a disease with a 99% survival rate?
Ebola could never be a civilization-ender. It knocks you down too quickly. You’re exposed. 12 hours later you’re bedridden. Twelve hours after that, you’re dead.
There’s no time for you to stagger around and spread it to people.
That’s why the Ebola pattern is so recurrent. It wipes out an entire town, as family members and caregivers get sick, but it rarely manages to spread to next town.
The big killers – typhus, malaria, bubonic plague – all needed an arthropod to rack up their high death tolls.
I find it a little too weird/convenient that Ebola — which was supposed to be super contagious and super deadly — never really surfaced in the US. Now why would that be? Same thing happened as with so-called Covid19, people brought it on planes. But yet there was no big outbreak. Could Ebola be yet another fake virus, and actually be illness from ‘vaccines’?
Ebola is another bioweapon (AIDS, Marburg, Reston). OTRAG leased area in Zaire and was given control over the residents of the area. Tied to MKNAOMI. In 1976 Ebola “broke out” in 55 Zairian villages. Another breakout occurred in 1996 in Zaire. The 1996 virus was far too similar to the 1975 strain to have been natural.
Thanks, Harry. I suspected as much given the AIDS/AZT poison thing.
They just keep using the same script, and we keep falling for it.
They are the boy who cried wolf now.
New York’ evil sick bitch dictator has given nurses a deadline to get vaccinated or else.
https://nypost.com/2021/09/22/foreigners-could-replace-nys-unvaccinated-hospital-nursing-home-workers/
Will Republicans and Libertarians try to spin this as a case of private businesses’ rights?
You might ask why the governor of the state still has dictatorial powers.
It’s because NY has the most corrupt AND incompetent legislature in the country.
Yeah, get ready for an RN-LPN shortage in your state. BoO.
With a little research, NYS nurses will find out pretty quick that Texas and Florida are hiring, and offering good pay, a warmer climate, and a cheaper cost of living.
Just saw a video of her talking about all the foreigners they will import to fill the positions of the people who refuse to vaxx and are fired.
MQ
You are right on this, federal programs have existed to bring Filipino nurses to the US for thirty years I am aware of. Stories of US folks being displaced by immigrants abound, most encouraged by the federal government. Immigration is destroying the US fabric.
When and how can I get my own private “nurse” from a third world country for my household needs? I am ready to start the interview process.
go to haitiangirl.com
Heck, there used to be a specific H-1C visa intended to bring nurses in due to, “shortages,” but that ended in 2009.
Now it looks like they would just bring them over on the standard H-1B.
She said Phillipines and Ireland. I wonder if they will bring in Chinese as well. They seem to be taking over big-time in the big pharmaceutical industry as well, from what my friend who works in it says.
They’ve already got a hospital that had to close labor and delivery because they were short of staff. If I were a nurse in NY City, I would take my expertise elsewhere. There are hospital in the country offering $5000 sign on bonuses and don’t require the jabs. If they can find a moving van, they could get out of the city, and none too soon, in my opinion. When it goes, that place is going to go down quickly
All those jokes about a 10-month waiting list for the maternity ward may be coming true.
“tending toward a massive RICO indictment against the entire DNC wax museum of liars and seditionists”
A rare flight of optimism, likely not to become reality. But we can still hope.
Meanwhile, all the other mentioned calamities are powering ahead. God help us all – in a godless land.
I find optimism painful at this point.
Apparently, Sussman’s possible judge is a hard left Obama pick. And the trial will be in NY, so don’t expect an impartial jury. I’m expecting 15 seconds community service, suspended, and a month’s ban on using Perkins Coie headed note paper.
That sounds about right.
I heard he was also married to Lisa Page, who is a plausible target of the Durham investigation.
I doubt it, too. After watching the open theft of the election, I realized that despite my cynicsm for all things US government since about 2001, I had still managed to (perhaps willingly) completely underestimate just how bad things were.
I knew the election would be rigged, but even cynical ol’ me couldn’t predict they’d do it right out in the open, even visible on TV screens and videos, and still people would think CGI Joe still legitimately won.
Just mind-blowing.
Yes, they telegraphed the rigging — right down to Pelosi claiming that regardless of what happened, Joe Biden was going to be “installed.”
Kinda like Fauci telling everyone that Trump was most definitely going to face a major “pandemic.” They announce it all beforehand.
They most certainly did.
Night Owl: whatever one thinks of him, that’s what Trump’s presidency did: revealed just how corrupt the WHOLE state apparatus is.
Yes, it did. And it is breathtaking.
“Any way you cut it, the fiasco on the US / Mexican border had turned into a big loss for the Big Guy… ”
Looks like a win for the dems. They all promised to open the border if
elected- here they are demonstrating that they keep their promise- a win. They can bring in the haitians to detract from another fiasco- the poor management of the Afghanistan withdrawal and the consequences of bringing the “translators” here. Another win. They can appear to be doing something by flying some Haitians from Chile back to Haiti. In order to fly, the Haitians have to test negative for Covid so the process of removing the covid clean Haitians from the group concentrates the infectives which they bus to areas that voted incorrectly or to areas where fewer people volunteered for the experimental genetic treatment. They can use the infected illegal aliens as a bio-weapon against wrong thinkers. Another win for the junta punish the pure-bloods as “Joe Bidan” vowed to do. And here on his blog we have a critic of the administration thinking that the fiasco is a big loss. It seems like a win amplification if you can win while your adversaries think you are losing. Another win for them is that the illegal aliens can further reduce the wages of working class white men who tended to vote wrongly.
Agreed, Jo-G. These are all massive wins for the evil leftists. Most conservatives are still trapped in the poll numbers-elections mindset. None of these matter anymore. Elections are stolen and polls don’t count. They have 3.5 years for more of the same. This will come down to civil war.
Sadly, I believe you are correct. I am well past military age and have no real capability to be a part of that fight in any serious way, and yet….I bought an AR this year. Mainly for self-defense if the Zombie hordes invade my place and try to kill me and my people. Otherwise, I’m actually a very peaceful guy who hasn’t been in so much as a fistfight since junior high school.
But, if CW2 comes, it will be nasty and civilians will suffer greatly. The elderly will be targeted by the worst scum because we are softer targets. So, I intend to be an unexpectedly hard target. Hopefully, it will send the less serious types scurrying if the bad times come to my door.
If a real army shows up, though, I am toast and I know it. So, I don’t honestly want CW2 to happen, but from time to time my blood gets to boiling from all of the insanity being shoved down our throats by the Wokesters and the Biden Regime and on those days the idea of CW2 actually sounds like the only “solution” left to us.
That’s a pretty good measure of how far we’ve allowed things to deteriorate in this country. Americans have been very foolish to allow the worst elements of the Left to march through all of our institutions virtually unopposed since the 1930’s. The chickens are now coming home to roost and we are all going to suffer as a result.
I still prefer the idea of a peaceful partition of the country, if one can be arranged.
What I truly hate about this, is that the anger we are feeling means the tyrants are winning! They created the situation by which we became so divided, and most fell for their tactics that cause it. So, our anger, while 100% justified, was engineered.
That’s what makes me the most upset, that we are FORCED to act and feel in a way that has been engineered by the PTB.
Drives me a bit nuts.
I hear you. Our anger is a symptom of frustration. Our frustration is a symptom of powerlessness. Our powerlessness is a symptom of the corruption of our elections process.
We are Americans. We were raised to believe that the people rule themselves in America. It is a severe psychological blow to us all to be blatantly confronted with the fact that it just isn’t so.
It’s driving us all a bit bonkers as a result.
Yes, I credit myself with being able to stay relatively sane during all of this, and would not have been able to do so if not for the people on this blog (thanks, James!) and some other (mostly online) friends.
Thankfully, where I moved I have a friend (met on FB) who works for Big Pharma running trials (mostly antibiotics not vaccines) who has been incredibly informative and she also gets the big picture (although she claims she had covid19 which bugs me).
Staying sane in insane times is no small feat. So I try to remember this, and give myself plenty of credit.
Even though this is engineered and even though they want me to hate my neighbor, I refuse.
I am angry and frustrated that they seem to be pulling this off – but I am grateful that I have met so many others who resist and see exactly what’s going on. And people are finding beautiful ways to fight back.
@Wizard
Relax
The zombie hordes won’t be coming.
They are all going to die in their beds like the rest of us.
just another asshole in the crowd,
~toktomi~
@Wizard – totally agree. I just turned 68 and husband is about to be 71. We could take out a few but there is safety in numbers. Even on our mountain where we could muster 30 or so volunteers we would have no chance against a horde of paid gangbangers.
Meh…I don’t know.
Gangbangers are overrated. Lousy marksman.
Every last one of my neighbors can drop a buck from half a mile away.
Let’s see Dartrevius, Keyshawn and DeAndre do that while holding his gun sideways.
Besides, these are city boys…despite their reputation for “toughness”, they ‘re about as resilient as Elton John at a tractor pull.
They’re used to pavement, central heating and dry feet. A rainy November in these hills, and I guarantee they’ll be crying for mammy.
“Add up all the memos and emails on Hunter’s hard-drive and you have a pretty clear digital trail of a major racketeering operation that can no longer be denied. So, will Merrick Garland’s DOJ keep ignoring it?”
Short Answer: YES
Right? Ignored it before, will ignore it again.
Seriously – his business partner spilled the beans and STILL they were able to suppress it.
Glenn Greenwald did an excellent expose the the other day. And even after that, nothing in the MSM.
Heck yeah, the AG is part of the biggest racketeering organization in human history, the American Deep State. The difference now is that no effort is being used to cover up the malfeasance. Afghanistan and now the border are obvious evidence.
Shows you what would’ve happened if he’d made the Supreme Court.
He probably wields more power than them at the moment though, as it’s supposed to be his job to bring issues to the court.
Garland is a corrupt, ultra-liberal, Deep State hack job.
His performance thus far as Attorney General has merely confirmed the wisdom of Trump and Mitch McConnell in denying a seat on the SCOTUS to that cretin a few years ago.
Of course, he is still butthurt about it and this is his chance for “revenge.”
(Ever notice how focused the Left always is on revenge?)
So, of course, he is using his power as Atty. General to punish his political enemies.
@Wizard
If videos of a presidential candidate molesting little girls and if recordings of the opposition incumbent, “grab ’em by the pussy” candidate fall like a warm mist upon the thinkless, what a effect do you imagine credible evidence for “major racketeering” could possibly have?
~toktomi~
“ That is, expect the Sussman indictment to not be the end of a matter that could be tending toward a massive RICO indictment against the entire DNC wax museum of liars and seditionists.”
Our host remains an optimist. Let’s hope JHK is right.
I am not from Missouri, but I retain the Missouri attitude of “SHOW ME.”
I’ll believe it when it actually happens, as in indictments issued; prosecutions vigorously pursued; judges allowing justice to happen instead of looking for ways to dismiss cases on flimsy procedural grounds; convictions happening; long terms of imprisonment handed down; and NO PARDONS issued.
Does anyone here, including our esteemed host, really believe that Americans will live to see that kind of justice happen? Honestly. I just don’t see it. The system is too corrupt. Too far gone. The elites don’t want to go there.
I’m with you.
I don’t think we have any more real rule of law, at least not for the tyrant class.
I’m pretty thoroughly black-pilled at this point. After watching all that was allowed to happen in 2020 it pretty much destroyed what little faith still remained in the ability of any institution or leadership to address the problems of systemic corruption
It probably has not helped that I’ve since gravitated to watching Devon Stack “Black-Pilled” videos and listening to “LegalMan’s” podcast, “The Quash” which is black-pilled from a Libertarian point of view.
As I’ve previously mentioned on this blog, I am a former CIA officer. I was not a “lifer.” I spent less than a decade with the Agency and soon found that it was not the noble, anti-communist, Cold Warrior entity that I had thought it was as a naive, young, Reaganite college student in the 1980’s, so I got out and returned to the real world, turning my back on the prospect of a comfortable federal pension in return for years and years of loyalty to the PTB. I could not stomach it.
So, I’ve seen the “Deep State” from inside the belly of the beast and its not a pretty sight.
You are very valuable in that regard, having been a CIA officer. Those of us who haven’t but know what it’s about are called tinfoilers. I know about the ugliness, I have an 800-page book by HP Albarelli to thank for that. Plus all of the articles I’ve read.
I am probably right there with you in the black-pilled department.
Honestly, I rarely acknowledge my former employment to many other people these days because it is now an embarrassment to have ever been affiliated with that 3-letter agency.
I did not always feel like that. I once took some pride in having been able to pass all of the screenings I had to go through to get the job and I felt like I did my part, in some small way, to end the Cold War on terms favorable to the West by being an intelligence officer.
But after many years of reflection I’ve concluded that it was all a big waste of time. The CIA “won” nothing. The Soviet Union would have collapsed when it did whether the United States did anything or not. The system was unsustainable. All socialist systems are unsustainable in the long term.
These days, it seems like the only purpose the CIA has is to spy on Americans or to waste U.S. money overseas poking our noses into situations that are not our business.
George Washington had the right idea. No foreign entanglements. I’d be very happy to see the CIA dissolved and all overseas military bases closed and our troops returned to America to guard our borders.
Hell, in the 1980s, I actually thought the CIA was ‘cool’ – I was that ignorant. I learned everything after 9/11.
HP Albarelli’s book is excellent, by the way. Heavily footnoted. It’s called “A Terrible Mistake” and centers around Frank Olson’s murder. It covers all of their psyops, too. It’s how I learned that they use hypnotism tactics on the public (as well as poisoning). So that might be why I didn’t fall for the Covid19 hoax, I saw all the earmarks of an engineered psyop.
It doesn’t hurt that I have also read a lot of David McGowan, who was a master of picking apart false flags and psyops.
I am harder and harder to fool these days. That’s for sure.
The CIA has to go. Kennedy was right. I don’t know how that can ever happen, though.
Mary, my sense is that the CIA is now doing what J. Edgar Hoover used to do – spying on the politicians so that they can influence them or control them.
I don’t have any insider knowledge that this goes on as I was too far down the food chain at Langley to know such things, but common sense and the things that were done to Trump tend to confirm that this goes on.
For this reason, I do not believe that either political party would ever dissolve the CIA. It is a source of power because knowledge is power and they are good at collecting information. So, the uni-party in Washington will not get rid of CIA. Likewise, they will not get rid of the FBI, the NSA, the IRS, the BATF, or any of the other alphabet soup agencies and bureaus that make the lives of ordinary Americans a royal PITA.
The only real escape is for the entire federal government to be dissolved, or for one or more states to withdraw from the union and get out from under the current federal tyranny that has been constructed over the past 160 years.
I never new that, Wiz. Interesting.
Devon is for the old America, the only real America that ever was or could be.
You must be too.
@Mary
Eric Holder publicly announced the official death of the Rule of Law a long time ago.
You can google it if you’re not familiar and if you have an interest.

Thanks for the reminder. That, he did.
Thurgood Marshall: “Now it’s our turn”.
Wizard, and to think just 75 years ago they hanged people via international tribunal for gross offenses. Now it’s just swept, buried, forgotten, never happened, pass the shrimp.
Americans today are made of much less sterner stuff than those of the 1940’s were made of. They are called The Greatest Generation for nothing. My grandparents lived through both world wars and the Depression and managed to raise half a dozen children to respectable adulthood despite all of that.
We were a better people then.
Everything has been thrown away fecklessly by the Boomer generation that did so much damage to the country in the 1960’s (I am technically on the tail-end of the Boomer era, but I was too young to vote in the 1960’s), and subsequent generations have failed to roll-back the mistakes made in the 1960’s, so we are culpable as well.
Hey – at least we have on-demand porn, Netflix, Xbox and DoorDash now. Now that’s progress…
My grandpas would both puke if they could see this shitshow, the end result of what they unhesitantly went to war to preserve.
I think the 1960s were chaotic because the mass engineering psyops had begun. I have recently read enough to convince me that LSD, and hysteria over rock ‘n’ roll stars had a lot to do with it. Women’s Lib came from Gloria Steinem, a Playboy Bunny CIA asset (by her own admission). Our entire culture seems to have been fabricated, not organic.
So I can only blame the boomers so much… they were as bamboozled as most of society is now.
The US is a fake society. We live in The Truman Show.
@Mary
I love the term, “Founding Fathers”.
What they found was psychopathic privilege and the power to abuse, the seeds of industrial insanity.
Generational stereotypes are an illusion.
~toktomi~
Ditto for my grandparents. Six children on the maternal side and five on the paternal side. All products of a Southern farming community. Some fought in WWII and the younger stayed home to help work the farm. All grew up to be honest, productive members of society. One of my aunts on my father’s side is still with us.
one uncle, and their respective families on each side continued to live on the farm with my grandparents until they passed away.
Surely long terms of imprisonment. Firing squads would be appropriate for many of the instigators. Pure treason.
Then again, history is full of examples where those elites became acquainted with Madame Guillotine, or her cousins Mr. Axe, Johnny Rope or Sidney Bullitt.
I get the “black pilled” thing, but I’m not wired to go there.
Seek meaningful self-sufficiency. If they’re not feeding you, they don’t own you.
My family used to operate a Green Market booth in one of the wealthiest and best connected Manhattan neighborhoods. I got to rub elbows with the movie stars, politicians, CEOs and even Saudi Prince…and I’ll tell you…they are decidedly unimpressive.
They struck me as weak, shallow and almost childish. Their ignorance of everything outside their milieu is almost comical.
They CAN be beaten once the contradictions of the autophagous system they’ve built can no longer be propped up.
“ If you haven’t had a vax shot, better seriously consider steering clear of your government’s desperate attempts to get the job done.”
JHK, as I’ve mentioned before, I am one of the great un-jabbed and intend to remain that way. Thankfully, I enjoy robust good health and I’ll be damned if I’m going to risk compromising that good fortune by allowing Biden’s regime to inject this risky gene therapy shot into my body. For what? To avoid a less than 0.26% risk of dying from a COVID infection?
I’ll take my chances, thank you very much.
This is good advice you’ve given to all who have successfully resisted the fear campaign and the relentless pressure of the “Guilt & Shame Posse” that is riding roughshod over many Americans.
To me it was a no-brainer from the beginning, with regard to either worrying about the virus or getting a vaccine. 1.6 years later, I haven’t had a sniffle. I did nothing to ‘stay safe’.
Covid19, the biggest hoax in human history.
Same. Very glad you are on this forum. I have only met a handful of people online and off who are anywhere near as clued-in on this stuff and who understood what was coming from the start.
Same.
I have a group of people on Telegram who are all on the same page, and have seen other bigger groups, but even there, some still think Covid19 is a real thing, something to be ‘careful’ not to get… even if they realize the vaxx is dangerous/garbage and the lockdown and masking are bullshit.
I’m thinking so too. In March of 2020 I had a dry cough for 6 weeks and some gastrointestinal distress and thought it might have been the COVID, but subsequent blood tests say no COVID antibodies, so I don’t know what to think. I’m almost dubious and wonder if the labs are lying about the tests so that unjabbed people will get the jabs? They asked me if I was jabbed before administering the test and that makes me suspect them now.
In any event, if it was COVID, it was a nuisance and nothing more.
My health is lousy because of weak lungs, but I’m damned if I’m going to take the death shot. I will die on my feet fighting for freedom.
We need to revive and tweak the mantra of Nancy Reagan:
JUST SAY NO TO THE CLOT SHOT!!!
Do you take Elderberry syrup?
I love that stuff! I have compromised lung issues (not very serious) due to getting RAD after living near a wild fire.
Whenever I feel a bit of tightness/coughing I just take that and it seems to do the trick. It’s wicked great for respiratory health.
I highly recommend it.
Also a shitload of vitamin C.
Oh and garlic!
@Mary
Some even make their own elderberry syrup and tincture.
~toktomi~
I made gallons of elderberry syrup to use when H1N1 was going around. Tasted wonderful!
I have my powerful asthma meds (yeah, cortisone!) and take the usual stuff such as Vit C and extra zinc, Vit D. I’ve been pretty good during the China flu: first time I’ve passed a winter without a bad cold. Anyway, that’s enough me and my petty worries – there are a hell of a lot of people out there suffering much worse.
I think what you’re taking is why you aren’t catching anything. They say vitamin D is huge. I take 5000 IU a day.
Osha root is an excellent expectorant–the best I’ve found. You can buy the tincture at health food stores, but it’s a lot cheaper to buy the roots (Etsy has them) and some vodka and make your own tincture by the quart.
Codonopsis root is also excellent. Just make a tincture of the roots.
The easiest thing to do is to put several botanicals in a jar (fill the jar about 1/3 full) and then fill up the jar with vodka. Ready in a month, but you can actually start using it sooner.
Other good botanicals to include in your tincture are mullein, fresh ginger, sage, Usnea barbata (if you suspect infection), sage, and slippery elm. Maybe Baikal skullcap. Maybe comfrey. Licorice root is good, but it raises blood pressure, so it’s chancy. Maybe a little wild cherry bark.
I like to make the osha root as a standalone tincture, as I want it full strength.
You can google these ingredients and decide what’s right for you.
“You can google these ingredients and decide what’s right for you.”
It is important to learn the active ingredients. The “decide what’s right for you ” part is not to be taken lightly.
As you point out, licorice and hypertension might not be a good fit.
Something might appear as a good idea and benign at first glance. Responsible use includes researching the product.
In the Asian pharmacies they have signs with rather large letters in English cautioning patrons to know and understand what they’re purchasing, as some items can be very harmful, if not fatal, when used improperly.
Talk with a practitioner of Eastern medicine, which sometimes requires an interpreter. Cities with large Asian populations have such pharmacies readily available for those who would take the short time to actually look for them.
As I’ve said before, vaccine mandates are racists and discriminatory. Oddly enough, more of us here will find an ally in the BLM movement along these lines. The rioting and pillaging will start anew:
https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-blm-leader-promises-national-uprising-over-racist-vaccine-mandates-similar
Strangely we may even find we have, not an ally but at least an example of what is possible, in the Talibann if only for the fact that a ragtag group of tribesmen inadequately equipped to defeat the American military and propaganda machine did exactly that, albeit after twenty years. I say this reluctantly because I am loathe to dishonor the fighting men and woman themselves; however, strictly speaking, as tools of the “Machine” I was elated to see it defeated.
This is very true as well SY. All one needs to do is take a chance at the long game and show some patience and persistence. If a bunch of sandal footed Afghanis in robes beat off the invading forces, then we as a united front of like-minded Americans should also be able to throw off the yoke of our oppression and cancel all of the cancel culture and lies that are surrounding us like a miasma of sewerage.
Keep the faith alive!
Amen Cowbell!
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Proverbs 18:21 (ESV)
“A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall [but only] in his imagination.”
Proverbs 18:11 (ESV)
Same here. I found the defeat an allegory for what is facing the leftwing crazies: gender studies and Wokeism meets Reality. Their whole outlook on life is based on fantasy and one day, like all ideologies, it will be streamrollered by the harsh realities of life.
I’m doubling down and tripling down. Not out of blind defiance but simply because I’ve seen this rodeo before. Invariably what happens is that the whole thing will collapse from its own weight, decay and corruption, void of any moral authority. The efforts of bloggers like us, the unWoke medical and scientific community, alt news sources etc… IS working. But victory is not immediate.
During WWII did the Allies capitulate in 1942 when the Wehrmacht continued to make advances, even after the U.S. entered the war? No! More recently, the Silence = Death Project started in NYC to raise awareness around the AIDS crisis in the late 1980’s which, eventually, helped greatly in saving many lives.

Dr Anthony Fauci killed millions with his HIV/AIDS/gay poppers/phoney tests & deadly “cure.” It appears to have been a trial run for the Big COVID-19 Show.
Just sayin.’
@Southern
As a veteran jar head, I am not loathe to dishonor the warriors. As far as I am concerned it’s all bullshit. I doubt that there’s one in ten that ever believe that they joined to defend this country.
I saw, the other day, an epiphany, a brazen symbol for genocide. It was decorated in red, white, and blue with many stars and many stripes.
~toktomi~
Sitting Bull would have agreed with you Toktomi, but that was a long time ago. Anyway, he got his revenge on old George Custer, so it’s all good.
cowbell – I was wondering about that, too.
BLM is now leading the charge against vax restrictions at restaurants…when just a year ago they were harassing people at those same restaurants, forcing them to raise their fists in the air in “solidarity”…dozens of masked marauders leaning in, screaming, getting into innocent customers’ faces.. As a result, they can’t be trusted to do anything from a place of “good intentions”, but it appears the struggles may overlap from time to time.
If you’d told me last June that we’d be rooting for them in any way after what they did to the country last year and the seven years prior, I would’ve said you’d have to be nuts. It was so obvious that none of what they did from the top down was about compassion or equality, only intimidation.
That said, intimidation works, and if they have the same goal here and there, they can be helpful. But once whichever coincident “this or that” goal is achieved, they will turn back to the same inane, destructive behavior. That is essentially their stated charter, after all. They exist to foment. If not one thing, another.
BLM is exactly what you would get if you crossed Lenin with Rain Man.
Hahahaha!
I don’t think BLM will be any help in this whatsoever.
If the mad dog (BLM) that the Dems turned loose on us last year now turns on them and starts tearing the seat outta old Joe Biden’s Depends diaper it won’t bother me in the least.
cowbell
At the risk of making an obvious point: the value of useful idiots is directly proportional to their actual usefulness.
Wouldn’t it be a delicious irony if the the BLM mobs suddenly turned on the Biden Regime due to vaccine mandates and they started burning Washington D.C. to the ground over this?
Watch how fast the regime suddenly “discovers” that BLM is a “domestic terrorist organization.”
Count on it, if they defy their masters. Lol…..
Every single one of them should be reminded of this when it comes time to allegedly cast a vote in 2024. Alas, by then there will be new brainwashing methods underway and maybe our country won’t even exist in its present state.
We should not allow the wicked elite to divide and conquer us. We need to come together with our brothers and sisters to fight a common objective, namely the segregation that Biden is encouraging at the private sector level.
Except for some stockpiling and general prepping, I can hardly make plans for a month down the pike let alone years into the future. There is just no telling if the center will hold until the anticipated date.
2024 for me is a current non-entity. If we don’t get the tilting system upright real soon the horizons, as you point out in your 3rd paragraph, represent a very short time line.
When things start going really bad, it happens very, very fast.
I will happily ally with any American who helps lift the yoke of oppression of the Wokester tyranny, but I seriously doubt that BLM will prove to be a reliable “ally.”
No sane or moral Americans can possibly ally with BLM. Sorry.
But if BLM bites the hand that feeds it…..I’m good with that. It won’t bother me one little bit to watch them torture the Democrats for a while.
It was inevitable. The Democrats are a hodge-podge coalition of lunatics. Now that they’ve seized control of the country it was inevitable that they would commence to squabbling amongst themselves.
The leftists always turn on each other. It’s how they role. Look at Robespierre and the Jacobins. They went to the guillotine in the end too.
Sorry, “roll”
I keep waiting for BLM to realize that the vax mandates are going to especially impact blacks who have a lower uptake of the vax. Places such as NYC for instance which supposedly won’t allow entry into restaurants, venues, etc unless you have proof of being vaxed. I’d suspect that in black areas they are not going to enforce this. It will only be a problem when unvaxed blacks attempt to enter restaurants or venues in whiter areas such as the restaurant where the tourists from Texas beat up the employee who asked to see their papers.
But even still I don’t see BLM as a potential ally. They may be able to end policies such as this by their willingness to use violence but in the end they still view me and mine as the enemy.
Yes, a group of Blacks stomped an Asian waitress who asked for their papers in NYC. Allies!
The management is standing by their staff against the BLM who are trying to get them fired. Rare.
Hilarious!
I am guessing this is a rogue faction of BLM and that she’ll be silenced about this soon enough.
But I could be wrong.
I just don’t see BLM bucking the establishment. So far they have been astroturfed by every Dem supported agenda.
I sorta doubt that BLM has anything close to what we would recognize as a true “chain of command.” Just a lot of ad hoc collection of “chapters” organized by local malcontents and race hucksters in communities across the USA – each with their own agendas.
If one of these fuliginous mountebanks tries to boss around another of their ilk it simply triggers a massive shit-flinging fest of the sort that goes on in Chicago daily.
So far they have been astroturfed by every Dem supported agenda. – MQ
==========
I have seen this term used before but never understood it. What does it mean to be astroturfed?
Me, too, I have never really understood this term, although I have looked it up online. Still don’t get it, though.
AstroTurf is fake grass.
So, a fake grassroots movement.
Vaccine mandate are now racist per BLM.
I’m loving that.
Of course, I’m not sure how they arrived at that conclusion since they have targeted just about everyone, regardless of skin color, but that never stopped BLM before.
The main thing is to know that the mandates are RACIST and act accordingly, right?
So, when can we expect the BLM mobs to show up at the vaxx clinics to burn them to the ground?
It would be easier to ask the BLM “intelligentsia” what is not “racist”.
The life blood of the race grievance industry is of course a perpetual and bottomless well of “injustice” (absent any genuine injustice, the specious and/or non-existent variety will suffice).
Again folks, where one aligns politically has to do with one’s threshold for attraction to where power is perceived to be aggregating. Doesn’t matter whether that locus is labeled red, blue, Nazism, communism, democracy, etc., etc. Once one’s threshold has been reached one’s reasoning faculties flip to rationalizing one’s drift toward that growing power center.
Remember, we’re herd animals having innate fear of banishment because through most of history that amounted to death sentence. That’s what has happened to academia. Today, history is sieved of its fuller context in service to the current generation’s narcissistic aggrandizement.
That is, not to build comprehension of how action’s by past generations was conditioned by extant intellectual capital of the time.
Failure of public education has robbed us of appreciation of the unparalleled civilizing achievements of Western society, hence cancel culture.
Well said.
Cancel culture is the result of removing common sense from a society?? So it does what it is named, it cancels a culture.
The real shame it does not provide a replacement, destroying the fabric of a society.
Much like BLM and Antifa offer zero imporvement through their actions. Only chaos.
If we somehow all come through all of this and cancel culture fades away…..it should still be a political priority to erect new safeguards to prevent the Red Guards of American society from ever running rampant through our country like this ever again.
Clearly, having a 1st Amendment was not enough protection.
Rewriting history (things that have already happened and are firmly entrenched in the national story) for personal gain should be a criminal offense.
I concur, but of course there is always the rub of who (?) determines which history is real and which is fake. Obvious fabrications notwithstanding, much of history is a matter of interpretation and new facts occasionally rise to the surface that cause reassessments.
However, crap like the 1619 project clearly are bogus and there should be some way to sanction that sort of nonsense, though I’m at a loss to propose the solution at the moment.
Hey Wiz; why Western Culture made those unparalleled civilizing advances was due to the institutionalization of indifferent analysis of empirical evidence. That prevailed through my college education, started in the 1950s when practically all the profs were vets of WWII and/or the Korean conflict (one a Sorbonne Phd and ex French Resistance), so no “safe spaces” so I had my ass handed to me almost every class session.
So far the 2nd amendment hasn’t been much help either. That may change. But it might be too late.
The foundational documents are not the problem. Life existed much more on a knife edge in the 18th century when the Constitution was formulated. Day-to-day survival and the realities of feeding oneself largely precluded the inclination to seek out and/or invent windmills at which to tilt.
Contemporary society, so free from want and the thousand other natural shocks that have been the ever-present companions of humanity from the beginning and more importantly, free from the very knowledge of these things, begins to loathe and detest the civilization that has all but banished them. The heiress comporting with the revolutionary is a phenomenon heretofore unseen in human history as are the “privileged” so burdened by and contemptuous of the shear unprecedented fortune bequeathed to them by the giants on whose shoulders they stand that they feel the need to grovel before the “unprivileged”.
Thus we have the curious situation of the man who has never missed a meal hating the very food that sustains him. Nobody has better catalogued this perverse and decadent state than Nietzsche:
“There is a point in the history of society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, the CRIMINAL, and does so quite seriously and honestly.”
The cancel is the objective. Viewed from this perspective, history, as an example, is eradicated.
I’m so glad I’m getting out of academia!!!

What is your position in academia? Are you a professor or do you wipe down the tables in the caf? No offense.

Yes, we’re all the same. Put up Love Lives Here signs in front of your house so that other good people know you’re a good person.
@Cavepainter
And then, there are the outliiers…
comfortable in their outcastedness.
~toktomi~
No, like the Great Old Ones they are always scheming to back what we supposedly (or in reality) took from them.
Read “The Call of Cthulhu”. They hate the upper Earth men.
Some of the Cthulhian creatures were actually kind of neutral towards humankind, such as the Yithians from The Shadow Out of Time and the Elder Things from At the Mountains of Madness. They were neither really friendly nor hostile to humans; they just had their own agendas.
‘The unparalleled civilizing achievements of Western society’?
…Is this some kind of a joke?
Well, you’re free to give up commenting on the internet, and stop using all the other things invented in the West.
Cavepainter:
I believe your comment on power centers attracting is spot on.
This was the Nazis playbook, and they attracted the power=hungry more than anyone else. The “ideologues” were eliminated when they became inconvenient (Night of the Long Knives; others were just demoted or sent to obscure parts of Germany or the East).
The goal is to achieve POWER.
Then, when the regular people see this they flock to join the supposed winners. This is the dynamic at work now, which is that anyone who says boo is regarded as a loser.
On the wrong side.
IMO only a major wave of deaths can potentially turn this tide. But not if the deaths are explained away. As occurred in the Third Reich.
The Nazis halted their euthanasia program because too many German families were asking questions. But far fewer asked any questions when it came to elijminating the Jews, Gypsies, JWs, etc.
Of course by the time things really got going the country was at war, so everything became more precarious.
The Market Ticker guy has an interesting piece today. It seems that back in 2020 a nursing home in Spain got invaded by the ‘ro and managed not to lose most of the residents, via the use of early treatment.
Nobody heard about this, it was only written about in a medical journal in January of 2021:
“… not one write-up was made in medical journals either until January of 2021, which I missed. My bad — out of the several hundred medical journal pieces, I missed this one. It was brought to my attention on my forum and my jaw immediately hit the floor.”
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=243683
Mr, Denninger shouldn’t feel bad, I didn’t know about that article either, and I was in touch with many others who were scouring the internet for any information they could find. They didn’t know about it.
BTW, don’t let anyone tell you hosting a website or commenting on one isn’t taking action.
What I am finding stunning is that there apparently wasn’t anyone involved with the COVID “response” doing any of this work.
This information was out there, in January 2021.
“So what did these few nursing homes do that nobody has done since and nobody reported out at the time?
1. Early start of treatment, regardless of the severity of patient symptoms.
– Antihistamines every 12 h: dexchlorpheniramine 2 mg, cetirizine 10 mg or loratadine 10 mg.
– Azithromycin 500 mg orally every 24 h for 3 days if there is rapid improvement, and for 6 days if the duration of symptoms is prolonged.
– If pain or fever, acetaminophen 650 mg/6–8 h.
– Nasal washing and gargling with sodium bicarbonate water (half a glass of warm water with half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate).
2. Patients with mild or recent-onset symptoms (cough, fever, general malaise, anosmia, polymyalgia):
– Antihistamines + Azithromycin (see mild treatment management)
– Levofloxacin 500 mg/12 h, up to 14 days of antibiotic treatment from diagnosis.
– Mepifilin solution, 50 mg/8 h as a bronchodilator, until subjective improvement. Patients with previous lung disease (asthma or COPD) used their usual bronchodilators.
– If the patient experienced increased breathing difficulty, prednisone 1 mg/kg/day divided into two doses until clinical improvement, and then it was slowly tapered down.
3. If symptoms of severity (dyspnea, breathing difficulty, mild or moderate chest pain, with SpO2 >80%, heart rate <100 beats per minute at any time of the process):
4. Prophylactic treatment for close contacts, including all asymptomatic residents:
– Antihistamines at the same dose as symptomatic patients."
So, did they neglect to have anyone on board who was keeping up with the data. or was it deliberately ignored?
In any case, the damage done cannot be quantified, and we are still doing it.
The biggest enemies of the public re the viruses is the CDC, FDA and the WHO. Over and over, the biggest enemy of the American people is the Deep State.
Which are all ran by the All-Seeing Capstone of the Pyramid. Truly we all know that. It is not even a secret anymore.
@John
even bigger than the powers that control these “errand boys”?
~toktomi~
Good point. What is the identity of The OG capstone?
Didn’t see this before and posted the link below.
Do also read the comments, as there is inferesting info on the efficacy of antihistimines against viral replication.
Thanks for recounting the treatment.
Nothing in the list, from my quick perusal, is under patent. Some items are available on grocery store shelves.
The SpO2 is low in the list, generally under 94% is an indicator of distress, and I think to HR would be >100, not <100. Would be nice to have ETCO2, side stream would give a useable value. Lung sounds are easy to assess, just takes a little practice.
All-in-all a good approach, I'm going back to the link you provided to extract a few more morsels.
TY
Went to the link, I did a lot of research at the time, I missed this one along with the Market Ticker guy and a number of commenters on the site.
I was on top of what Didier Raoult was saying and publishing, which is in line with a lot of what these people in Spain were doing. A similar approach using low profit high safety margin treatments with lengthy histories of experience with use.
He was essentially pilloried by both the French and international medical establishments for his rather informed and effective treatment methods. In this he was not alone.
Conjecture: these Spanish folks kept it somewhat quiet so they could continue treating their immediate populations without interference. If true, it is one more black mark against the prevailing medical establishment.
Interesting. And one can still obtain antihistamines here unlike Ivermectin which no pharmacy in my state will supply(for our own good of course!).
What most don’t realize and what I have gathered from talking to people from all over the country as well as having seen it mentioned by many doctors who are speaking out, we DO have a pandemic of respiratory illness in young people directly related to mask-wearing.
And the horrible thing about that is, they are forced to wear them all day at school, and some even while exercising.
Many of us warned how unhealthy and dangerous this is 1.6 years ago and of course no one (in authority) listened – and worse, don’t care. Plenty of evidence showing the negative effects of mask wearing, including dental problems as well. Dentists must be making a killing these days!
Mas mouth is real and people are stoopid:
https://whdh.com/news/report-mask-mouth-to-blame-for-uptick-in-some-serious-oral-health-issues/
And for ZERO benefit to anyone. Purely for politics.
Exactly! Global submission is as political as things get!
T-Giving 2020, we drove 3.5 hrs to my mom’s ‘mountain chalet’ between Tehachapi and Isabella (CA). My brother was there also. We (wife and I) were determined to not bring up the subject, wanted a peaceful holiday with mom and brother. He spontaneously changed dinner-convo subject to masks. When I tried to describe to him why masks were a really shitty idea, he worked himself into a huff and stormed out of the house. “I’m going home!”…making for a 7-hr drive with no TG dinner, and causing mom some bitter disappointment.
Long before that, near the start of the TDS pandemic, he became a FacePunch brownshirt. This is an indication that the media used TDS to get folks into a lather, and then effortlessly redirected them into the C19 chamber.
The mess on the Del Rio border says it all about the level of competence and authority the government has now lead by the Democrats. It hamstrung itself for four years wailing about “this is not who we are” and demanding the borders be open. I guess a lot of Haitians in Chile watch TV.
What I find really interesting is why is no one is asking how they got there. They didn’t walk from Chilie to Del Rio, through Mexico in the summer with pregnant women, rolling suitcases and lots of children. It’s pretty obvious to me they were flown in and then bused to the border. Some of the pictures I’ve seen clearly have luggage, loaded backpacks, tents, etc. Almost immediately, newsmen were’t allowed in and sending drones over to view the situation was prohibited.
And it was casually mentioned on the news that more are on the way. We’ll see what happens.
A real media would be asking those exact questions, SW.
The President today appears to be blaming refugee chaos in Texas on Border Patrol Officers riding horses, not his own policies. Sleepy Joe has vowed to crack down on his Border Patrol enforcing Federal Immigration Law. Does it make any sense to you, CFNers?
Marlin, xHim, xHe
Sure, it makes sense! If it’s illogical, it will now be done, without apology or explanation.
It baffles me how the Border Patrol is NOT suffering a mass exodus of officers from its ranks. Who is the hell would want to endure such abuse from your alleged “superiors.”
They are no longer allowed to control the border. They are just a glorified “welcome wagon” service for lawbreakers who cross our borders illegally and with impugnity.
I can scarcely imagine a more demoralizing job…..
….except for being a doctor or nurse in a hospital prohibited from treating COVID patients with life-saving therapeutic drugs.
So, yeah, Border Patrolmen, and medical care folks working for large healthcare organizations that crack the whip over them because they don’t want the Medicare/Medicaid money to be cut off from D.C.
The entire working population are debt slaves. Vehicle payments longer than that ‘new car’ smell.
The noose slowly tightens.
The Border Patrol are in the same predicament as the local police it seems to me. A tough job and when either a mistake is made or a one of them abuses their power (and sometimes they do) all perspective is lost in the “outrage” by media morons or people like Maxine Waters/Al Sharpton/Keith Ellison and on and on.
You might find this interesting — I heard on the news that part of that gigantic spending bill has a provision in it to get rid of local police and have a federal police force. The rationale for this is so “the tragedy of George Floyd won’t be repeated.”
You’re right JHK — it is all happening at once.
All federal law enforcement should be dissolved. I’m not even a huge fan of city police forces. They often are used as enforcers of woke edicts but won’t arrest BLM or Antifa for anything.
County Sheriffs are a different matter. I’m all for expanding Sheriff’s departments to fill the vacuum. Texas Rangers and state cops are fine by me as well. I’m just sick of the Feds. Too much power. Get rid of the FBI, BATF, Secret Service, etc. Who needs them?
Biden thinks that the Border Patrol is nothing more than a bunch of pony faced buffalo soldiers!
Should we change their name to “Boarder” patrol since we seem to be welcoming everyone in with open arms?
Boarder Patrol! That’s funny. It would make for a good Saturday Night Live skit if only SNL wasn’t too woke to make good use of such fodder for comedy.
Texans should tell Joe blow to go to hell and use the horses anyway.
Texas probably WOULD, but those horsemen were U.S. Border Patrolmen, not Texas Rangers or DPS personnel. Not even local sheriff’s deputies. All were federal employees.
Biden is now personally threatening the Border Patrol horsemen with “consequences” – whatever that’s supposed to mean.
The man is a fiend, and a dictator wannabee.
I’m pretty sure that every big event that occurs these days are manufactured/planned. Every time I start to look into any of them, that’s what I find. I don’t think these things happen spontaneously. It’s incredible how much of everything going on is engineered. We live an engineered existence. We need to break out of it.
SW
Flipping the narrative so that it was about “whipping” was very clever. Presumably those Border Patrol officers were sent to the location to prevent continued crossing from Mexico over that weir.
Just like the photo of the little Syrian boy’s body on on the shore of a Greek island was used to quash criticism of the migrant invasion of Europe in 2015.
Even though it was the US and European powers who were trashing Syria so that Syrians were fleeing (and then opportunists jump on the bandwagon and join the stream of actual refugees). That whole thing really did end up looking orchestrated.
The “look” of things has overtaken any ability to analyze and discuss what is actually going on and why.
How the hell are they getting there? Couldn’t this all be stopped at Mexico’s southern border? How are thousands managing to transit Mexico? I don’t get it.
They aren’t transiting Mexico’s border at all b/c there’s absolutely no way 15,000 people walked from Chile in the summer. It couldn’t have been done in the winter either of course but that’s the point. The fact that they suddenly materialized with families and children smack dab on the Texas border wasn’t an accident. It was planned but who planned it? Who paid for the planes to get them out of Chile? I wish we had real reporters who would snoop around in Mexico and figure how this was managed.
While the media shrieks about the border patrol, the border patrol is unable to defend itself. The only safe way for them to get into those gullies is by horseback b/c a vehicle could get stuck or flip. But there will soon be even fewer to patrol.
https://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/terence-p-jeffrey/biden-wants-cut-funding-border-security-assets-and-infrastructure-96
Fucking Soros probably funded it. Isn’t it obvious?
Whether they walked, rode, or flew in doesn’t matter. Mexico was/is complicit in it .
You’re absolutely right.
Just like the Muslim invasion of Europe some years ago. Clean. Well fed. Designer clothes. Cell phones.
This was planned.
Gaddafi warned Europe that the only thing standing between them and a flood of refugees from Africa was him. But Obama and Hillary destroyed the country anyhow and we all know what happened. I don’t understand at all why Europe allowed this to happen.
Consider the EU is an unelected body making the rules and running the finances with NATO as the enforcement arm.
Exactly.

Here’s one that’s been bothering me-
If polls and elections no longer matter, why did Whitmer just do a 180 and commit to signing a Michigan budget bill that bans masks and jabs, effective October 1st?
It’s claimed she did this in response to cratering poll numbers for the upcoming election, but we already know that the blue hives in Michigan will, “fortify,” the election for her.
Doesn’t make sense, unless the idea is to toss folks a bone, then pull the rug out later this winter when everyone is dyin’ from the ‘vid?
They need to maintain the apperance of democracy and respect for human rights and dignity. Same here in Germany. Many of the cult politicians here are no promising a return to normal as the election is right around the corner.
In reality, three of the mainstream parties are 100% in Klaus Schwab’s pocket and were quite vocal in calling for restrictions up until now. Two parties have even gone so far as to hide some of there most vicious and vocal members for now.
“now” “their”
Sounds like bait and switch. BoJo in England has ruled out jab passports, but I’m sure he’ll try to bring them in later in the winter: “You see, plebs. We had no passports and Covid numbers have exploded again!” They are so predictable, and the sheep will bite once more.
You’re in the UK, right, Hereward?
I think this is plausible but when the numbers zoom up, and they will cuz flu, how can everyone continue along with this vaccine hysteria when blatantly they don’t work and an alternative approach is so evidently required?
We still seem to be losing sight of the fact that for most people this crud is of absolutely no consequence. My double vaxxed neighbour who has been utterly obsessed with masking and distancing and following ‘the rules’ has enjoyed several days in bed with Covid. (Smug grin.)
I haven’t spoken to him about it. I really couldn’t care. No doubt his response would be along the lines of “it would have been worse without the vax.” We can never win the argument while the masses remain so blinded.
Yes! Exactly. They want the appearance of sleazy political games as usual, when they actually have it all sewn up as designated WEF puppets.
Why would you use only one device to further your purpose if several can cheaply be employed?
After all it is not known in advance which one will work to what degree.

A small ray of sanity in FL as a judge blocks Gainesville’s clot shot mandate:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/florida-judge-halts-citys-covid-19-vaccine-mandate
But the city submitted no evidence, called no witnesses, and did not file any affidavits or declarations, leading the judge to rule in favor of the plaintiffs.
Total political hoax/psy op.
And yes,
It’s still just the flu.
Bro.
Many are now opposed to lockdowns and vaccine mandates, some who are vaccinated are full of fear of long term consequences and likely only half the population is happy with the management of the pandemic.
The longer it goes on the more clear it will become that the severity of the disease does not warrant the mitigation measures and so suspician of ulterior motives becomes rational.
All the while competent and devoted citizens in labs around the world are working on much improved, greatly more lethal viruses. A lab escape is certain, only the timing is not.
Or a lethal natural virus emerges. When that happens and a real pandemic of black plague proportions develops it will take a long time before the citizens will again agree to be manhandled in the fashion they are now. Only then we will no have that time.
Maybe the “pandemic” is only a prelude to the real thing.
Exactly, maybe they are trying to breed distrust and desensitize us, with the ultimate plan to release the most virulent killer strain possible when we least suspect it.
Do you think the powers that be are that smart and thinking 15 moves ahead in the chess match? I don’t know, but I do know that everything we are being fed is nothing more than a big steaming pile.
Trust no one, question everything.
@michael
maybe the pandemic is the first thing and the next thing are the real thing
~toktomi~
I am at the place (after a shit tone of research) where I’m not really sure I buy into germ/virus theory. I’m leaning towards terrain theory (for many reasons I won’t go into here).
If that is the case, we don’t have pandemics. We have pestilence. THroughout history when we have had global warming, we don’t have pestilence. When we have global cooling, we do. Because of things like crop failures, and then starvation or malnutrition. It goes hand in hand. So why would we be having a pandemic now, when food is abundant and crops aren’t failing? Except whoops, farmers are paid to destroy their crops, and they have poisoned the air, water and food. There you go: Manufactured pestilence.
Someone was talking about how fat everyone is, yet we are as a whole, more malnourished than ever. This is also engineered.
So it should start people thinking that maybe they don’t need to do anything but keep this up and as people drop dead from all of these factors, they can slap a pandemic name on it and Bob’s your uncle!
Then, when they’ve convinced everyone there is a pandemic, they can poison the people who are unfortunate to go to the hospital or nursing home with something like, say, Remdisivir, and ‘prove’ that they died of whatever pandemic.
Terrain theory would also explain why the elites have zero fear of catching covid19 – they are aware it doesn’t exist.
I really wish all of these people who insist that it’s an escaped bioweapon would reconsider that line of thinking because it’s just way too inconsistent for that to be true.
For instance, why am I fine after 1.6 years ‘exposed’ to this supposed ‘highly contagious’ pathogen? And why is it that not one person I know has died of it?
The ice core guy that fascinated me and connected a lot of dots, on Joe Rogan’s show:

In an airport this week: I got stuck when a plane got delayed and was in the airport for 13 hours. A recorded announcement comes on: “Federal law requires all persons to properly wear a mask over their nose and mouth at all times. Persons who do not comply may be fined and removed from the property.”
This recording plays every 10 minutes. Hour after hour.
Eventually, all you hear is, “Comply….comply….comply…”
Also made the happy observation that if you have a coffee cup next to you, no matter for how many hours, it is the magic talisman that lets you keep your mask down under your chin, because, hey, I’m drinking coffee here.
Thanks for the tip!
I wonder if a water bottle would have a similar protective effect?
I am pretty sure a flask of bourbon would also work magical wonders.
IHere in Mass I heard something similar.
At the movie house. After pleas to follow the rules and keep your mask on throughout the whole show, then the tip: If you get a big bag of popcorn and eat it slowly . . .
It’s ALL BS!!! And people do know it, otherwise there wouldn’t be the wink-wink nudge-nudge.

The absurdity is unbelievable, isn’t it?
What will I do for myself: Stay healthy physically, mentally, and spiritually and resist all Covid rules. My community: Try and gather a few like minded nomadic friends and get a piece of sustainable land somewhere in a still fairly free state. Baring that, move onto friends’ land in Upstate NY. My country: Nothing. That idea went into the trash after Kennedy and the Peace Corps.
Good plan.

For many years, my dream was to establish an intentional community, but instead of the usual model, I wanted it to be a community where everyone owned a modest home and enough land for food and fuel self-sufficiency. Around here, that is about 5-15 acres–enough for a big garden and wood lot, fruit trees, dairy goats, chickens, a couple of cattle, and a place to fatten 3-4 hogs.
One of course wishes for a religious community (like the Amish), as this would lend cohesiveness and a shared culture and values. The RLDS do things like this, though I don’t know how well it works out.
My daughter has spoken of doing something like this, with the rather sweet addition of a bell ringing for the Angelus–perhaps inspired by the painting that used to grace almost every rural farmhouse.
I guess things like this could happen, but people would have to be pressed very hard.
Half of the country would probably root for the New Founding Fathers in “The Hunger Games” if they watched it now, as opposed to the oppressed heroine we were all meant to side with. That’s where we’re headed.
I know somebody that after the 2020 election said something like, “Well now what are we supposed to do with the 70 million retarded people who voted for Trump?”
Window into the soul. The compassion just oozes.
They’re better people, you see.
Oops, just realized I mixed my movies. New Founding Fathers is from The Purge. Same point though, just the wrong film series.
I wish we could institute a purge day, maybe it is tucked away in that massive spending bill the Senate is debating? It would be a day to fight to the death between the heavenly vaxxed and the pure blooded unvaxxed.
Lol. I don’t.
Neat for a movie, but…I’d prefer Leave It To Beaver America (but, you know, with swearing and no separate marital beds) if I had my druthers.

In the Old West, when a quick draw sheriff brought justice to a crime ridden town, typically the grateful public would vote him out asap. That’s the American character in all its saccharin niceness and hypocrisy. And this is before women got the franchise, making it so much worse.

Covid was nearly funded by NIH to make it more lethal by creating nano particles that would be able to penetrate human skin. Darth Fauci was unsuccessful in getting that done but he was able to get Wuhan a grant to reverse engineer the virus so as to make it appear to be “natural”.

On the connections to Wuhan, I believe a big slice of the puzzle has been missed with the Professor Charles M. Lieber (former Chair of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard) who was indicted in January 2020. I believe I posted links on CFN before, so apologize for the repetition.
Alison McDowell (“Wrench in the Gears” and that’s her website also) is a good follow and forensic source on all things ‘smart’ ‘nanotech’ and transhumanist as is Dr Joseph P Farrell (gizadeathstar.com) where I first caught wind of the Lieber connection.
Of course, no dual use or military application whatsoever, nothin’ to see here folks, move swiftly along.

Public School Curriculum Asks Kids to Pretend They Are Gay, Role-Play Plan to Have Sex
https://www.westernjournal.com/public-school-curriculum-asks-kids-pretend-gay-role-play-plan-sex-graphic-content-warning/
This is why we’re going to homeschool (among other shocking bs). That school district is just on the other side of town.
OMG. I can’t believe that years ago, I supported Planned Parenthood! They are evil as it gets. Wowsers. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at this having been entrenched in battles against the trans agenda for 3 years.
Well, Planned Parenthood’s goal of no reproduction would be easy to accomplish if everyone went with their own gender…
I recall sex ed being rather controversial for some folks when I was a kid…we had a teacher that gave us “the talk” at school in 6th grade.
They didn’t hand out condoms or anything (which was the big concern of some of the parents, if I recall), but they said the basics. “Two people love each other, this goes here, this is what happens, abstinence is the best choice until you’re older.” We all giggled at the use of the anatomical terms. But we got the point.
They did not say “Hey, let’s pretend you’re gay! Who in class would you want to have sex with?”
Good lord. That school board better get fired for approving this “curriculum”…
In California if your child tells their teacher they want to be called Charlie instead of Sharon and treated as a boy, the teacher is under no obligation to share this information with the parents. Hard to believe — but true.
They want the government to come in between parents and kids. They want at those kids.
Spare a thought for us here in Switzerland, folks. The formerly sensible and sane Swiss just voted in homosexual “marriage”. Of course, the usual suspects will be all over it tomorrow as a wonderful, progressive step forwards, when in fact it’s a key indicator that a nation is in terminal decline.
Take a look at Caroll Quigley’s “Evolution of Civilizations”:
http://www.carrollquigley.net/pdf/Carroll-Quigley-TheEvolutionOfCivilizations-AnIntroductionToHistoricalAnalysis-1st&2nd-Editions.pdf
From page 152:
The Age of Conflict (Stage 4) is a period of imperialist
wars and of irrationality supported for reasons that are
usually different in the different social classes. The masses
of the people (who have no vested interest in the existing
institution of expansion) engage in imperialist wars because
it seems the only way to overcome the slowing down of ex-
pansion.
Unable to get ahead by other means (such as
economic means), they seek to get ahead by political action,
above all by taking wealth from their political neighbors. At
the same time they turn to irrationality to compensate for
the growing insecurity of life, for the chronic economic
depression, for the growing bitterness and dangers of class
struggles, for the growing social disruption and insecurity
from imperialist wars.
This is generally a period of gambling,
use of narcotics or intoxicants, obsession with sex (fre-
quently as perversion), increasing crime, growing numbers
of neurotics and psychotics, growing obsession with death
and with the Hereafter.
The vested interests encourage the growth of imperialist
wars and irrationality because both serve to divert the
discontent of the masses away from their vested interests
(the uninvested surplus). Accordingly, some of the de-
fenders of vested interests divert a certain part of their sur-
plus to create instruments of class oppression, instruments
of imperialist wars, and instruments of irrationality.
Couldn’t be more spot on if it tried.
So, basically, cause and effect. Thanks for posting!
Is this what passes for historical analysis? It is WOKE, feminist and a dirty piece of sophistry.
Doesn’t look “woke” to me.
On the contrary.
OK. I think I rushed to judgement on this one. Worse, we can’t unpost comments.
How is it woke?
I’ve rushed a bit in my comment there. But anyway, It’s a bit woke in the sense that peoples and their ability to direct control or influence and events in the 4th stage is not mentioned at all and this is a point I think should be stressed to readers. The following might be a quibble but if vested interests encourage irrationality, that is no fault of theirs if alert people who know better actually subscribe to it.
Accordingly, some of the de-
fenders of vested interests divert a certain part of their sur-
plus to create instruments of class oppression, instruments
of imperialist wars, and instruments of irrationality.
Quigley is clearly describing the rise of Geroge Soros and his ilk here.

So my company announced that all US-based employees must take the clot shot.
I am spared at present, since EU law has not yet been illegally altered at the drop of a hat, but I have little doubt it is coming.
Fight, fight, fight.
What are they basing it upon? Last I checked OSHA is still working on the semantics of their fraudulent emergency order demanded by Grandpappy Joe.
Very sorry to hear that Night Owl. I wish you luck. Some good news in the U.S. on that front: attorneys general in 24 states are poised to sue the Biden Admin. over the vaccine mandates.
Always poised … never pouncing …
They are starting in on 5-11 y.o. soon! I wish that they’d file it already!
Yes. I saw that. They are going to try and come for everyone, of that I have been certain for quite some time.
They simply change the laws overnight. Only united non-compliance is going to have any effect, and the creation of a secondary economy. I have no doubt my days are limited, but if I go out, it will be with a bang.
Better to die like a man than to live like a mouse, imho.
@OG
or run away to fight another day
~toktomi~
@ Night owl
Yes, we need people to unite in non-compliance- only way to be effective. If one person does this they just pick them off; if a large group of employees resists it will have a different effect. And a secondary economy may well be needed as well.
Aren’t they still waiting for the other shoe to drop regarding the so-called intent of the Biden regime to impose their order on private businesses of 100 or more employees using a dubious OSHA rule?
The company I workfor is way up on the globalist psychopath food chain. They have no doubt been salivating to implement a mandate, despite lying to employees through their teeth about it.
I knew it was coming though. When it finally hits Europe, and they have illegally changed the law again, I will have sucked enough out of said company that I can leave happy and go do something meaningful.
Dammit. Sorry to hear this, NO.
“Let’s care for peoples’ health and safety by taking away their livelihoods. Brilliant!”
It is becoming very clear that those with the jab couldn’t give a rat’s ass what happens to you or anyone else that’s not in their club.
I am fortunately independent in my work, but that doesn’t mean those around me in my field don’t regularly pontificate on this…I keep my mouth shut, as you know…no need to alienate the handful of clients that are currently keeping my business afloat from afar without caring to know much about me personally. I can’t be “fired”, but I can certainly lose a lot of work if people now think I’m endangering them and others, or whatever the hell they are spewing that day today.
I have a buddy who is 100% like-minded on this topic…he works for Social Security. I fear he’s screwed either way at the moment…take it against his sriongest wishes, or find a new job after 15 years service, and maybe lose the pension he’s been building. And he works alone…from home!
Whew! You are the standard bearer, Night Owl, we need ya.
Yeah, we will see what happens.
The real resistance just needs to keep resisting.
It may be a blessing in disguise. We will have to get creative in the ‘new normal’ and perhaps that will include finding more meaningful work, and living more simply.
I would be all for that.
Sadly our governor is right on board with the vax mandates and has instituted one for state workers.
Since when did “EU law” count for anything? They are acting like a sovereign nation. And as the jab is still experimental and unapproved, no one can be forced to take it. This has got to stop!
That is why they are using back-door methods in Europe. I mentioned this last week, but in Italy, they still allow testing in place of the clot shot but are forcing people to get the actual passport. Without the app, people are shut out from everything.
Workers have to be tested so often that it is not sustainable, and it is PCR, which is painful and dangerous.
Germany isn’t that much different at this point. We now have mandated testing to go to the office if one is away for more than 5 days.
One lie after another.
Being away for 5 days is just as likely to lower your chances of being infected as to raise them, I’d have thought.
At this stage (and I’m aware it’s only at this stage), we’re better off in some respects in the UK. With the exception of the Scottish pass becoming mandatory for large events, which doesn’t affect most people yet, and Sturgeon’s uncontained enthusiasm for jabbing children as soon as possible.
My older daughter works in a nursery/kindergarten, and lateral flow testing is still voluntary, even though they don’t like the fact that she won’t confirm she’s doing it. She’s also been told by the head teacher that she’s stupid for not getting the jab (yet).
On the other hand, jabs are becoming mandatory for care staff and health workers.
RE: 5 days — yes, I agree. It is simply another means to pressure and complicate the lives of those who don’t want the shot.
GA: Is it just my impression, or is Sturgeon a psychopath? One more name to add to the list.
Move, move, move. To Moscow or Mexico. Anywhere else that works for you.
We need to remember that these “cases” are determined by PCR tests which, depending on the cycle threshold, can return up to 90% false positive results. Check out this testimony by a occptnl therapist at one of Oahu’s largest nursing homes regarding how its billing dept changes codes and counts patients as covid patients regardless of the reason they were admitted. This is done because U.S. hospitals and nursing homes get more compensation for Covid patients: https://www.bitchute.com/embed/snvoNdcBzaAZ/

What a true “clusterfuck” that turned into. A real hoot!
Clearly a stunt to confuse both sides of the argument. The fact that they went through these motions live on air is the proof. Anyone producing live television can tell you these sorts of situations would be taken care of off camera, if real.
And they did it when Kamala was coming on, in order to increase the viewership of the stunt from their regular 24 people.
By doing this, they gave the unvaxxed ammo in that they admitted that clearly you can “catch it” even when vaxxed.
They also gave the vaxxed ammo in then proclaiming that “they’ll be fine, they won’t end up in the hospital with serious symptoms, because they’ve had all the vaxxes. It’s just a couple ‘breakthrough’ cases, you see.”
Basically all this does is keep the people fighting. So obvious…but the people pulling the strings know that it will work in their favor either way…
More proof: The lower thrid on the screen during that moment in the show says, “Experts: Vaccinated Not As Likely To Spread Covid”
This, as two people who are vaccinated on a stage filled with only other vaccinated people are led off publicly due to having…covid.
Doublethink in full effect.

The biggest alarm bell for me is the fact that the conservative reaction to the communism encroaching on this country is too little and too late.
The audits being done may show that the vote was legitimate. If so, it points to the fact that the Browning of America is successful, that demographics now lock in the desires of the gimme class, totalitarian government and cradle to grave socialism.
We are witnessing it right now. All the bitching in the world will not blunt the Leftist progress. Elections will just drive us farther toward the gimme state. The collapse of the GOP first, then The moderate Dems will pave the way for the progressive communism we seem to be heading towards.
Every immigrants that makes it into America furthers this drive. Every college educated idiot who has been schooled exclusively in Leftist dogma furthers the drive.
My belief is that the republican individual is an endangered species and will become extinct very soon.

You might want to read The Road to Serfdom by Hayek. He said there’s really no difference between communism and fascism except that Stalin was worse on his own people. The destruction of the middle class was a key element for the rise of both of these parties and of course, that’s just what we’re seeing in America now. If you’re poor, you have access to government help and if you’re rich, you don’t need it. And who pays for it? The middle class which has access to neither.
Capitalism funded classical Communism just as the Corporations and Soros fund BLM and Antifa today. They are one system, heads and tails. More exactly, Communism is a project of Capitalism to break down traditional societies and open them to the goblin market.
Both are transnational – Globalist in other words. Fascism is just the European word for nationalism – their natural enemy. How did you get it so wrong? Because as a liberal, you think violence is bad. So Communists bad. Fascist bad. Therefore same! Just like your woman teacher told you and the other boy to stop fighting. Didn’t matter if you were defending yourself. You were both equally wrong in her silly little head.
She got inside you….
Antifa fight. Proud Boys fight. Same!
Yes… they are Two Jaws of the same Beast-system.
These two jaws, capitalism and communism, surely do “oppose” each other, but ultimately not in a philosophical or even political sense.
Instead, as with mandibles (or, in warfare, the two parts of a pincers movement), the purpose of their opposition is not to contend or defeat each other, but to *unite with each other–and in so doing, to sever or defeat whatever finds itself in between.
There are many such “oppositions of cooperation”, where the two opponents are in cooperation and the true target is a third party. These are, unfortunately, often mistaken for mere dualities, for “oppositions of competition”, until it is too late for said third party. (Threeness can be so very cruel.)
You mean, McConnell doesn’t have a plan?

“The weeks ahead will determine whether we are a coherent society that can function on the basis of a firm consensual reality, or just a convocation of battling narratives designed to conceal anything that quacks like truth, all veering toward failure.”
The ship has already sailed on that question. Or, perhaps it should be said… two ships or more sailing off in far different directions and right off the edge of the flat Earth that all the warring sides agree upon.

The best theory I’ve heard is that the Chicoms cracked down on crypto because they don’t want to permit access to a potential life boat that would permit masses of plebes to yank their money of their rapidly devaluing second and third apartments in a ghost city, potentially causing further devaluation of said property values and undermining all the derivatives based on those property values.
It could work great to prop up property values, or it could backfire completely on Xi. Too early to tell.
So far, Western exposure to Evergrande seems limited, which is very good news. However, it is too early to tell the total exposure the West has, so there could be nasty surprises ahead.

Proof that God exists and has a sense of humor:
Two hosts on The View, vaccinated of course, were informed mid-show that they tested positive and had to leave the set. This after the obligatory scolding of the unvaxxed.
This left Joy Behar holding the bag, which contained of all things, Kamala Harris. Instead of on-set interview Kamala remained backstage and offered talking points from that safe distance. Everyone washed their hands.
Possibly the only funnier recent news was Witmer, governor of Michigan, who finding herself polling six points behind her likely challenger switched course and banned vaccine and mask mandates. To those of us who thought “but what about The Science” Witmer was heard to think “whattaya mean? This is Science. Political Science!”

currently not regretting my decisions to forego more traditional career and family arrangements over last couple decades. Staying vax free is easy in my shoes.
Yeah, we are probably not missing much. No marriage and simple job for me. I wouldn’t even classify it as a “career” since I think there is no such track any more. Just get through each day as best as one can, and ultimately just get through this life.
I think about that every morning. Also this morning, I was thinking how my grandparents and parents probably had a much better life than me. At least they were able to live some semblance of the “American Dream” by being able to freely travel, having a stable career, raising a loving family and being able to afford to do so, etc.

https://babylonbee.com/news/medical-schools-update-hippocratic-oath-to-exclude-unborn-unvaccinated
Excerpt:
“…Butcher said the famous first line of the Oath will be updated to read, “I promise to do no harm unless it’s killing a little unborn baby who’s really not a person yet. Also, since anyone who refused the vaccine is basically asking to die of COVID, I will let them suffer and die a horrifying death to set an example for others…”
LOL!
The original Hippocratic Oath forbade abortion.
What’s scary is that the BB’s headlines these days could all be true.
It finally hit me today….
An epiphany.
It explains EVERYTHING.
We are in The Twighlight Zone.
The whole damn country.
I expect Rod Serling will step out from behind Peppermint Patty (Jen Psaki) at a White House press briefing at some point in the near future to deliver one of his typically pithy observations about what we’ve all learned from our journey into the World of Wokeness in Twilight Zone.
Twilight Zone.
I keep saying we’re living in The Truman Show.
In any case, reality is morphing….
Jen Psaki = “Peppermint Patty”. A masterful comparison. If I had a cap I would doff it, sir!
I’d never thought of Peppermint Patty as a shameless shill for leftist-managerial corporatism, however. How innocent we all were, back in the days of Peanuts…

Just reading about the Grange organization (fact-checking a job).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Grange_of_the_Order_of_Patrons_of_Husbandry
Perhaps we resistors should start a new order, a la the Grange (National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry) to band together and pursue our interests . . . It used to be a very American thing to do: form a new organization with a chapters in just about every community.
Just wondering. Not a political party. An order.
Reading more on the history of the Grange movement, I seriously wonder whether this mightn’t be an organization worth looking at more closely. It already has a national hierarchy and good values. Anyone can join. At the state level it has more political clout.
Their motto:
“The motto of the Grange is In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus caritas (“In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity”).
Indeed, the word “grange” comes from a Latin word for grain, and is related to a “granary” or, generically, a farm.
Here in Ct every little town had a Grange Hall, probably the same in Mass. I think there were a few active Granges up until about the 1990s. At one time this Valley was full of fraternal and civic organizations almost everybody belonged to; suburbanization, TV, dissolution of the nuclear family, collapse of local industry and the end of the small New England farm wiped them out.
IOW, as American civilization dissolved, organizations like the Grange disappeared.
I like your suggestion tho, Islander.

Just looked it up, apparently the Grange still exists, with about 160,000 active members.
I recall from my childhood in the fifites we had the MV Agriculatural Society and the Grange. It seemed like mainly the members of the Grange were ladies!
The Agricultural Society still exists and is quite active—they run the local fair and lot. After they got a brand-new building (actually, an old post-and-beam barn dismantled and brought here from somewhere in NH) and spread on a spread of land donated by a local richie, the old AGricultrual Society Building reverted to or became the Grange Hall. Things still go on there.
But it seems to me that the Grange organization might be worth a look as a local/state/national org that might provide a basis for some kind of networking or linkages and even quasi-political organizing. Here is a link to the Mass State Grange—not much news!! But still . . .

According to Wiki the Grange provided the impetus for the development of state Extension Services. The state extension service was the umbrella organization for the 4-H clubs. I was a 4H-er in my innocent years!!
I doubt that 4-H even still exists. But it was a great club for children, to teach them various basic skills related to farming. For instance, a local club for boys would have a project of raising some calves, and then they would show them in the Fair. In our club we spent learning basic cooking. Our club leader was the wife of a local farmer Their twin girls were in my grade i school. Her husband led a club for boys. That club met in their big barn.
With so many people looking for alternative life styles and values for day-to-day survival, it might make sense to excavate some useful ideas and structures from our own history . . . the National Grange still exists.
Here is the URL of the National Grange:

There is a very nice little embedded video there that ran on PBS.
Take a look. It is a really nice change of pace from the horrors that we seem to be inundated with. Anyone who is contemplating making a move to rural America might check out the local grange. For example, there is a New York State Grange,

BRH,
Your pronouns seem…less than adequate a description. In a well respected venue, the British publication “The Lancet” further defines the boundaries of “being”. Vaginas…either you got one, or you ain;t.
RT News (a site you might avoid), today reviews the latest memes;
