Everybody I talk to feels a gnawing tingle of dread in their livers and lights as our world tilts into the season of darkness. The Party of Chaos rules solely on the basis of insults to its citizens. They are certainly trying to provoke something like civil war, something they can label “white supremacy,” as if that would justify declaring a state of siege — an emergency suspension of rights to speak, to move, to assemble, to resist the sticky pseudopods of the malevolent Blob that Washington has become.
These insults are all obvious untruths, and behind them, you can be sure, lurk great crimes. Crimes, of course, call for adjudication and payment. That has been the American way. So, naturally, the Party of Chaos, stolidly based against the American way, has hijacked the law to prevent it from being applied to them. They have spoiled and dishonored every authority in this land and disgracing the law is their ultimate prize.
It’s hard to say which of their insults is the worst, they are all so gross and arrant, but the untruths around the Covid-19 vaccine operation seem the most conspicuously sinister. CDC director Mandy K. Cohen is still pushing these shots for all Americans down to six-month-old babies, despite a freight train of evidence that they are useless for preventing the disease and blatantly harmful, especially for children. She is either very stupid, dangerously wicked, or insane. You decide:
Last autumn, the “uptake” on Covid boosters was 17 percent. That number should not induce a whole lot of confidence this time around among the CDC officials and their masters from Pfizer Inc. Papers are now circulating that say all the Covid variants coming out of the woodwork are lab-made pathogens. The CDC and its sister public health agencies lied extravagantly about the original virus, of course, and now everybody knows it. Who is left to fool in our country? If they move to surreptitiously release something with a much higher fatality rate — to reignite fear in the population — they could easily put their own lives in jeopardy, since it’s unlikely their labs might as quickly develop a vaccine they could protect themselves with.
Calling for more lockdowns and school closures won’t go over so well this time either, and federal enforcement efforts will be laughed at in the states where a majority is not insane. Working people know they’ll be ruined financially again if the schools are not available for babysitting. Even the states under the sway of mass formation psychosis, such as my New York, will be deeply divided. New Yorkers are sick of the vile automaton Kathy Hochul, even down in New Woke City.
The Ukraine war caper has pretty clearly lost its appeal as a supposed crusade for “democracy.” The yellow and blue flags vanished from the front porches and car bumpers months ago. It was a lie from the get-go that we have any national interest in that sad sack country. Our own government engineered the fiasco, and from every angle it has been a dead loss for all parties on our side. Ukraine has been reduced to a failed state in-waiting; Euroland has sacrificed its industrial economy for nothing; and the USA has squandered its last bits of prestige among other nations in this ignominious game of Let’s You and Him Fight. Also, Americans have begun to notice that the billions funneled into Mr. Zelensky’s cadre of neo-Nazis and kleptocrats is money that is not going to places like East Palestine, Ohio, Lahaina, Maui, and the towns along our tortured southern border from Matamoros to Tijuana. Even the people who supposedly elected “Joe Biden” are becoming a little concerned about blundering into World War Three over the mess created by Victoria Nuland & Company.
How did we come to the point that it is now illegal to question the veracity of elections in America? And to charge a former president of the US for doing it? Much as the deck is stacked against Mr. Trump, his enemies have stupidly stuffed that deck full of jokers that are liable to shriek and giggle their way out of court when turned face-up. Judge Tanya Chutkan of the DC District Court is one of the jokers, having already branded Mr. Trump a seditious insurrectionist in the trials of many J-6 demonstrators she sent to jail on longer sentences than the prosecutors even asked for. DA Fani Willis of Fulton County, Ga, is another joker who constructed a career-ending booby-trap for herself, and DA Alvin Bragg of New York County (Manhattan) will not be the one laughing when he’s finally bum-rushed out of his law license.
An interesting fate awaits “Joe Biden” in the months ahead as the revenue stream of the Biden family foreign consulting firm gets audited in a House impeachment Inquiry. And an interesting-er fate awaits the Party of Chaos when it finally has to admit that it doesn’t have a candidate for the 2024 presidential election — at least a candidate anyone has ever heard of. The “president” stands (shakily) bestride a dilemma. He can gracefully bow out of office and avoid the historic humiliation of being unmasked as the crookedest chief executive ever — but if he does that, he loses the ability to pardon the son he so loves in any upcoming indictments, or pardon himself as CEO of Biden Consulting Inc.
Or, just maybe, the Blob will steal into the White House residence some gloomy pre-dawn morn, and settle its quivering, gelatinous endoplasm over “JB’s” face until his struggles with Congress and everything else on this plane of existence come mercifully (for us) to their end.

“A gnawing tingle of dread in their livers.”
Jeez…
Yes, Jeez. From the opening quote, I would describe today’s piece as “muscular”.
Muscular Meets Gelatinous, texture matters.
Deep State in aspic.
Let me step in with a couple of scenarios more likely than the one Jim just proposed
1- Our President wakes up in the middle of the night and feels the desire for a soothing ice cream cone. He presses the Red Button beside the bedside to call a servant with his favorite flavor—–.
2- Knowing that the Final Offensive has been lost, the Banderista wing of the State Department, led by Victoria Nuland, boards their specially outfitted long range 747 bound non stop for New Zealand. As soon as they are comfortably cruising over the Pacific they push the Red Button with the launch codes on it that their security operatives had stolen from Joe’s desk while he was asleep. Upon landing at their 50,000 acre sheep ranch they are met by an army of 1 thousand tattooed, naked Maori warriors wielding traditional war clubs—-. Karma!
This is a quiz, folks.
How many of you believe that there is any organized force in our Nation that is willing and able to put a stop to these or other more likely scenarios that lead directly to nuclear WWIII?
By feeding your vote into a digital counting machine that determines the outcome? Adults are supposed to outgrow belief in Santa Claus—. And recognize evil when they see it.
If the Commander in Chief orders a “preventive” first strike on Moscow because all other dreams of Victory over Russia have been exhausted, who among the Military will march into His office, overwhelm the Guardian of the Nuclear Briefcase, and arrest the Biden Hologram and all his handlers? Or will they just follow orders like the good guards on the Holocaust trains!
Who among the civilian militia could even plan such an insurrection? Certainly not the pasty’s who were led through the open doors of the Capital on January 6 and marched off to a lifetime in the Gulag!
I give.
From the various sundry facts mentioned in the article, I have a suspicion this will be a rather long LONG EMERGENCY / 4th TURNING.
Well, at least most Americans have wised up to the tactics of the plandemic, so the Righteous mob ought to be able to put down the resistance of the smaller group of Covidians trying to relive that nightmare.
But most of the rest of the legal aspects of the shenanigans going on will most likely end up on the back burner as the Mother of All Crashes looms. I don’t see the spectre of Interstellar aliens or a deadly new virus or war with China or escalation in Ukraine even being necessary to fan the flames of an economic reset, but these days the Script is being ad-libbed, so who knows?
It’s a race now to the bottom between the forces of “Too Much Magic” bringing us the age of the Jetsons (sustainable now, and Green), and the crash of the American Empire and the Western standard of living as “The Long Emergency” picks up steam.
Even odds for next fall’s WWIII, canceled election and the Anti-Christ popping up?
“…but these days the Script is being ad-libbed…”
I think not. I think this whole thing was very carefully planned.
well said Dr.H…my bet is the nukes fly in about a year or so,maybe tomorrow–the anti Christ has been here a long time,ask Jesus,the bible humps of his day killed him,the bible humps of today will do it again when Jesus walks the earth once more…..won’t matter much when 2/3rds of world is dead after the nukes fly and 90 to 95 percent gone in 5 years after–Russia has nuke shelter for about half its people,the Swiss for all its people–usa not many,only at the military bases and DC
If Shakespeare was alive today, the line would have read, “The first thing we do, is kill the Law.”
I doubt it. Lawyers are not the law. Lawyers and judges can corrupt the law. Once upon a time, simply good men were appointed as judges – as opposed to the current “requirement” that being a lawyer is a prerequisite for becoming a judge.
There is an adage that – a person who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer. And that’s certainly true for navigating the labyrinth that the court system has become. This is more visible as law is weaponised and the spirit of the law gives up the ghost.
dale – you are correct. A grandfather of mine was the Circuit Court judge in the 17th District of Florida (encompassing Broward County Florida and other parts of South Florida) in the 1940’s.
He “read law” as a Clerk, but was never a lawyer, and was appointed by the Governor. Subsequently, over time, he ran for re-election, when it was no longer taboo to run against a sitting judge.
He retired from the bench in the late 1970’s, never having left office. The Broward County Law Library was named after him posthumously.
On your other point, I have a potential dust up, and was thinking about appearing pro se. I have the facts, understand the law, and can present a decent argument, but would get buried procedurally – as you say, a fool for a lawyer.
Thanks for the insightful comment counselor.
You would have no “standing”.
Not so, standing is about jurisdiction, not representation.
In other words, when they just don’t feel like doing their job as in the case of Supremes with Trump and the stolen election.
Let’s say I lived in Miami and vacationed in your town for a week, and you stole and totaled my car in a night of joyriding. If I went home to Miami and filed suit in Miami, I would have no standing because the South Florida courts would have no jurisdiction in such a case. Suit would have to be filed where you live, where those courts would have jurisdiction.
In the flurry of stolen election suits there was plenty of evidence of election fraud. I have copies of Exhibits marked and entered as evidence in a few cases. All the parroted cries of “baseless claims” and “lack of evidence”, by the fuctup, delusional Democrats were and still are, all lies.
The cases were tossed out on standing – supposedly filed in improper jurisdictions – none were dismissed on evidence. The evidence was never “heard” by the courts.
In one case, filed by Texas AG Ken Paxton, I believe, after being passed up, SCOTUS did have jurisdiction. The case appeared on their docket for a hearing. They decided not to hear the case.
Not surprising – they are poisoned. The highest court in the land, but our latest Justice, not being a biologist, cannot tell us what a woman is.
Our country is a fucking joke, but the worst part is we take it. What we allow becomes acceptable.
Yes Jim CDC Director is indeed insane:
5:59 in video — “We don’t need to go back to any of the things of the past when we couldn’t see each other”
6:57 in video — “We don’t see any need for mandates or those types of things right now … but if we need to make other recommendations we will”
8:09 in video:
“…[these are] Super-Safe Vaccines …”
I was watching Sunday night football yesterday. Pfizer ( I think it was) aired an ad a few times showing kids getting the bandaid after their Covid shot and advocating for people to get their kids shot up. They’re still shamelessly pushing it. Sickening and infuriating.
Who is their target audience?
Blacks.
They know the demographics of NFL viewership and they need them scared, vaxxed with the Electioncron variant, and programmed to vote straight D.
The boob-tube plantation system
They were freed from slavery, only to lose their rights to Jim Crow and the crop-lien system that may have been worse than slavery: get them so indebted to the Klansmen who ran everything that they could never break even, and take away their ability to vote. Then, come the Depression and, later, the Great Society, offer them money so they’d become politically indebted to the same political party that kept them down, but conceal their self-destructive beneath a “Talented Tenth” made up of hucksters like Al Sharpton. For their part, Republicans just walked away from Reconstruction in order to get Rutherford B. Hayes into the White House, and seldom did much to help blacks after that — and then wondered why their support among blacks melted away.
Absolutely correct. Always dependent to the party.
More scandolous is how the Democrats treat them like slaves in the political arena: they have no choice come voting time and must be kept in line.
Those that do exercise political independence are quickly disparaged as Uncle Tom’s and racists, yes, racists.
100th,
That’s my point. Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent, endorsed Trump. Chelsea Handler, skank and apparent white supremacist, told him to rescind his endorsement or hed never get to bang her again — whereupon the alleged gangsta badass did what he was told.
Speaking of the mental inferiority of Blacks. (I’m sure our resident racist will come out of the woodwork)
Perhaps he would like to comment on the fact that Africans (who are after all, black skinned) only contracted Covid 19 at 1/7th the rate of superior white Americans? Was it because they were smart enough to not subject themselves to the Phizer clot shot? Or did they fail to poison their immune systems with Hostess Twinkies?
Asking for a friend.
TH – hoping I’m not considered the resident racist, because it’s not so, but tell this to your friend.
Most Africans live in tropical and subtropical environments. For decades, Ivermectin has been used as an anti-malarial drug. Their faith in Ivermectin was well placed – lo and behold – forbidden in the US. Maybe your friend can tell us why?
Moderna nor Pfizer “vaccines” were used in Africa. The African leaders were rightfully skeptical of the whole Covid foolishness.
Tanzanian President John Magufuli – an ardent Covid denier – of course did not force vaccination on the Tanzanians. He died mysteriously at 61 in 2021, after a two-week public absence.
Americans, in addition to poisoning our bodies with Hostess Twinkies – are too stupit (intentional Q) to know any better than to do what we’re told.
The Africans did what they were told too, they just have leaders that are less corrupt, wiser and smarter than our “leaders”. John Magufuli – may he rest in peace – one.
Thor(!) thinks Blacks are superior to Whites, evidently – spiritually, mentally, and now physically. That’s why he calls himself Thor! But he’s not a racist, you see. Because racists are bad and he’s good. It’s good to see your own people as inferior……
In fact “Thor”, there is no equality. That’s an abstraction we impose upon the physical world. Blacks are better at us at some things. Do you really imagine that we aren’t better than them at some things?
A very useful abstract btw, something real on its own level, but it must be used judiciously here below – as in mathematics and the law.
@ ThorsHammer:
The reason black Africans contracted covid at a much lower rate than white Americans is well known: Ivermectin is widely used there and has been for decades. Historically, the primary use of Ivermectin has been for the eradication of parasites common in tropical regions.
During the height of the Vax mania, I saw a brief clip of little Black children jabbing people who were waiting in a long car line.
Utter madness. It seems like a dream. A few seconds after I saw I went, Wtf did I just see?
I’ve been thinking about that recently. How are they going to rid themselves of this embarrassment? Historically, poison is the choice of the Vatican when they find themselves saddled with an inconvenient pontiff. Within living memory there was one who only lasted a month, though that German guy with the evil eyes was allowed to retire,
Was he ‘allowed’ to retire, or did he view his move and the way he accomplished it as necessary to allow exposure of the darker side of the hierarchy?
The ‘deep state’ is pervasive on this planet. One way to combat the dark force is allowing it to self-expose.
I think this is revealing itself (Revelation). The scheduled Synod looming large next month has the makings for spreading further chaos.
A coincidence is exceedingly rare.
While they are at it, they should take the opportunity to rid themselves of Hunter, as well–a drug overdose, such a tragedy.
You mean Benedict? He was terrified into stepping aside, apparently.
I bet, and no more invites to the legendary Vatican City gay soirées
Yes, alas, that may have been their ace card. Expose his past.
Yes, that’s what he called himself. I can’t keep up with the byzantine machinations of the Holy See, and as an apostate of 60 years, I don’t really care. I don’t know if Benedict was a good pope, but I could see by his visage that he was not a good man. His secret past was written all over his face.
You people are so mistaken about Ratzinger/Benedict. People here at CFN pride themselves on not buying the “mainstream” narrative, but apparently there’s an exception when anything Catholic is concerned, and you’ve bought the elites’ narrative about Benedict hook, line and sinker.
Good grief.
I know nothing about the man, except that the sight of him made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Who are these people of whom you speak? That’s simply a lazy and insulting ad hominem attack.
He disgusted Traditionals early on and they began to bring forth evidence of it. Then he gave the green light to the Latin Mass and it all vanished like the dew under the sun. But if it was true, it remains true, religious politics notwithstanding.
Many Gays speak of gaydar and have called Benedict one of their own. Complete nonsense? I share Draupnir’s suspicions, though I don’t believe he was an evil man, just a very flawed one.
In any case, we needed a Lion and he was a lamb, alas.
Jarek, It is my contention that one does not build a face like his through a lifetime of prayer, meditation, good works, and self-denial. I’ve seen the faces of older religious who have, and they are calm and luminous and beautiful.
Well, I’m sure he had his moments, but I won’t disagree with you. He freaked Q out too.
Ratzinger’s problem was that he was a Catholic. That is no longer permitted in the Church.
That’s one way of putting it. It runs deep. Anyone interested could go back and read some of his earlier writings.
He makes reference at times to early church thinkers and writers who shaped the first few centuries. Those who aren’t mentioned today very often, if at all, in the ‘mainstream’ publications.
Similar to many other situations in the world, one should look at who is being censored and why to gain a different perspective.
“He can gracefully bow out of office and avoid the historic humiliation of being unmasked as the crookedest chief executive ever”
Hmmm. Others may be aware of the humiliation, but how to get the man himself to experience humiliation? He doesn’t seem to know where he is half the time and probably belongs in an old age home eating ice cream and playing with toys while ;his attendents make sure he hasn’t soiled his adult diapers.
In his latest blog post, Dimitri Orlov discusses what he calls “humiliation therapy”. He writes:
“For the US, the resounding defeat in its proxy war with Russia in the former Ukraine, which is currently in the works, could definitely be part of an effective humiliation therapy, but only for those who have been paying attention, and their numbers are quite low. How many Americans actually felt personally humiliated by the spectacle of America’s hasty and disorderly retreat from Afghanistan? Too few, it would seem, since they jumped right into the next doomed escapade in the former Ukraine. For those in Washington’s corridors of power, no amount of humiliation seems enough. In fact, they seem to thrive on it!
Neither the Americans, nor their European vassals, seem the least bit disturbed or turned pensive by the spectacle of their national leaders endlessly humiliating themselves on the world stage. To be humiliated one must possess a sense of shame; but what if shame, along with intelligence, integrity, principle, honesty and various other virtues, has gone altogether missing?”
Even Dimitri is American enough to adopt the trope that the retreat from Afghanistan is “humiliating”, while ignoring the far, far more shameful act-the stealing of $9 billion from the poorest country in the area.
And then, to top it off, our overlords tell us about starving Afghan children, blaming it on the Taliban, instead of the thieves that stole their nation treasure.
How do they have the nerve to do that? Well, look at Obama, who destroyed the country with the highest standard of living in Africa, turned it into a failed terrorist-infested state, and then shilled for money for his foundation when a flood killed thousands of Libyans.
(Who was it that bombed their infrastructure?)
What gets me, though, are the Americans, and others, who fall for that line.
I actually think that Dimitri also channels the “life expectancy in Russia fell dramatically in the 90s” narrative, also.
No, there was mass deaths in Russia, thanks to the US takeover.
Of course when millions of people die suddenly, life expectancy “drops” in only one year.
Jeez, people.
Mafiosi profess shame but when there is serious money or power at stake the pretense is cast aside. The Nulands and the Merkels of the world are truly shameless critters.
Shame may indeed be one of those apparently useless, old-fashioned emotions. Look at the way felons act in court, even when threatened by a hanging judge. How many ever act like their mommas taught them anything about shame?
Instead, double-down and ride it out.
The rest of the world is quickly wising up and learning to keep its distance. What has happened to our bosom butthole buddy Europa is a sterling study confirming the reputed crack of Henry W.C. Kissinger that “To be an enemy of America is dangerous; to be its ally can be fatal.”
It will be fascinating to follow the new alignments of all those “military domino” coups d’état in Central Africa, when former Euro-colonial powers are vying with the Americans and the PRC, with the Russians also making a play recently.
SpeedyBB – These “people” – Nuland, Merkel, the Bushes, Obama et al. have no shame because they are doing exactly what they intended to do.
When herr Bush was criticized for his economic and war policies, he smirked as if laughing at right-thinking people and then said “s’good for Merkins.”
He was telling the truth with no shame. His policies were good for a handful of Americans and bad for the rest.
When Bill Gates talks about saving lives with his killer shots, he’s mistakenly counting on the fact that because he’s the smartest guy on the planet, nobody will figure out that he is talking about saving the lives of his friends and family by killing off everyone else. He has no shame – he believes he is doing a service to his elite friends by killing off everyone who can’t see thru his BS.
Mephistophelian does not cover it. These people are Satanic.
It is said that the Homo Capenses overlords are missing certain human traits/ emotions which would explain the current lack of humility etc. Why would we expect nonhumans to have human characteristics?
missing certain human traits/ emotions = sociopathy
“More and more people are now realizing openly that their countries are being destroyed on purpose.
And that there is now only one path left. ”

People are getting ready.
Correct.
Because “democracies” or representative governments are not efficient enough for the technocrat managerial class.
They want a Chinese democracy.
A protected ruling class
Currency free from pegs.
One party, one direction.
They want their decisions implemented immediately.
The streamlined “vaccines” is but just one example. No bureaucratic entanglements, no metrics of efficacy, and no liability. No discussions, no dissent, no exceptions.
It is plain as day.
You’ll have no say in your life, and you’ll like it.
Great comment! Spot on.
Ready for what?
Even if we had the most morally righteous and egalitarian government in the entire history of mankind, nothing is stopping what’s coming down the pike.
8b living and breathing organisms utterly dependent on 200m years of stored solar energy, exceeding earths balanced carrying capacity by 8-16 times over, is an unsurmountable physical problem, not a political challenge.
If you understand overshoot, depletion and degradation, then it’s not only perfectly clear, but entirely logical for elite thinkers to be acting in their fashion.
Try to see the world from their pov: you need to defeat foreign adversaries to gain access to the last abundant stores of natural resources on order to mantain the private credit money system.
However, you need you also need to dramatically weaken and destroy existing domestic populations that don’t understand reality and will refuse to accept or comply with new reduced living arrangements.
It’s just the facts of life – advocacy is unnecessary.
Fulminating about revenge either demonstrates one doesn’t have a clue about what/why it’s happening, or you have a vivid imaginación that envisions unicorns parcelling out everyones equal and fair share under a rainbow.
Mitch,
People know and understand this.
People know that the entire world’s population cannot possibly enjoy a lifestyle anywhere near occidental standards of working or middle class.
This is not the issue they refuse to accept.
They refuse to accept that a self-chosen minuscule elite will continue to live a quality of life at magnitudes exponentially greater than the next strata below, not to mention the mass majority at middle-class and below.
This they do not accept.
Not everyone goes smugly into oblivion.
Why are you not yet in Russia, or the Ukraine preparing to harvest the resources that will set you up?
Talk talk talk
‘Why are you not yet in Russia’?
If I were 50 years younger I would be going there! It looks like the ‘last best place’ now.
Europe is fucked. All the English-speaking countries are fucked. China? Please!
Can’t say I disagree with you on that FGB3.
I wouldn’t go to Russia because the Archangel Michael is prophesied to slaughter the Islamist-Russian alliance in the so-called War of Gog and Magog that is supposed to precede, even precipitate, the rise of the Antichrist. As former Rep. Ben Jones (D-GA) used to say in his best-known acting gig, “I may be crazy, but I ain’t dumb!”
Uncle Bob: That echoes that fine old novelty-country song: “I may be crazy but I ain’t no fool”.
“They refuse to accept that a self-chosen minuscule elite will continue to live a quality of life at magnitudes exponentially greater than the next strata below, not to mention the mass majority at middle-class and below.”
If the Great Reset is successful, no middle class will even exist.
We will live in a state of neo-feudalism. Have you looked at the charts I posted a while back?
“3 items of clothing” per year for you peasant. “One short haul flight” every three years–and that tidbit was just reported in the Telegraph.
The mask is nearly off.
Oh how I long for the good old days when all of this was just “wild conspiracy” here in CFN land.
We still have idiots here going on about resource depletion and having to accept the collapse.
LOL.
I think what they reported in The Telegraph was that this is Sadiq Khan’s vision, not the vision of his puppetmasters, whom they don’t acknowledge. Khan will be made a scapegoat for Agenda 2030 for a while, I now think, so people will take longer to figure out where the real agenda is coming from.
GA,
What NO said has been said by others in the WEF orbit. The plan is to make us all serfs. And if we don’t go along with the plan — well, the world is overpopulated anyway, so enjoy eternity!
I’m aware of that, Uncle Bob. I’ve been following all of this too. What I was pointing out is that The Telegraph is only talking about it as if it’s Khan’s vision for London – they’re not talking about it being the UN/WEF/WHO’s vision for the world.
If they can keep people thiinking this is about Khan and London, they’re hoping to deflect attention from the whole story.
A limited hangout, in other words.
Yes, GA. When the heat finally gets too hot, Khan will ride off into the sunset and be given some kind of cushy post somewhere, much as Ardern and a few other cultists have.
“Vee infiltrate ze cahbinets”
He’s already the leader of the global C40 cities initiative, NO, so he’s got that if he loses London. Although I heard there’s a big split in London, in that he has a lot of support in central London, but obviously less in the outer boroughs where people need their cars more.
We have an overshoot problem going on right now where I live regarding coyotes. People everywhere are whining and complaining about the coyotes running around eating pets and running around in back yards and parks. Coyotes completely destroyed my corn patch this year and their howling wakes me up in the middle of the night. The coyotes are the top tier predators at the moment and there are no mountain lions or wolf packs here to thin them out and reduce their numbers to a sustainable level. You can’t shoot them within city limits legally so there is nothing to naturally reduce their numbers unless animal control agencies step up and start hunting them.
Here’s a nice thought. Catastrophes and breakdowns result in people abandoning all their dogs and then feral dogs and coyotes manage to create mixed breeds. Imagine pit bulls, rotweillers, mastiffs etc. mixing in with coyotes and creating entirely new types of feral canines who move about in packs looking for prey.
Woody,
Miscegenation? Doggy miscegenation? Corrupting doggy civilization to produce ferals and, reducing doggy behavior to the lowest common denominator?
A ridiculous concept….
They won’t abandon them. They’ll eat them. I’ve seen more than one comment on other blogs stating that animal shelters are a source of fresh meat if necessary. Just sayin’.
Tuco – they won’t eat them, I will. When it gets down to nut-cutting, I will kill, process & eat every local liberal’s pet, while they watch.
@ Ron Anselmo
That sounds great – please invite me to dinner. I’ll bring the wine. 😉
It would be my pleasure. Consider this a dinner invitation. The offer of wine is a generous and touching gesture. It will add a soft air of sophistication to the affair. Reds typically go well with canine and feline, but I’ll leave the selection entirely up to you.
A nice sterilizing vaccine would do the trick. Probably something mRNA based… Anyone looked at the human stillbirth rates lately?
Yirgach – Ed Dowd has. According to VAERS Data, from 1990 thru 2020, stillbirth reports were well under 200 annually.
In 2021, for some unknown reason, stillbirths exceeded 3400. The “vaccines” were rolled out then, but I’m sure this is just coincidental.
VAERS reported stillbirths, may be underreported by 90%, so actual stillbirths may be closer to 34,000 in 2021.
See the book Cause Unknown by Edward Dowd – the numbers are staggering.
Thanks a million, to JHK for keeping the Covid criminals front page.
They will pay. Justice will be swift. I’ve lost too many family members & friends already.
My niece’s friend had a stillborn daughter in 2022. Perfectly healthy fetus, then sudden death in utero at term.
Naturally, I assumed she had the jab. But damned if she didn’t get pregnant again, within a couple of months, and delivered a healthy baby.
And now my niece is pregnant. I don’t know if she is jabbed. She had covid, but that doesn’t stop a lot of the brainwashed.
So far, so good.
Except that bringing a baby into the world at this point in time seems insane to me. They have no future.
“And now my niece is pregnant. I don’t know if she is jabbed.”
Jabbed? Inquiring minds used to wonder if she was married.
Shifted priorities….
I’ve heard the ‘bringing a baby into the world at this time’ comment many times through the years.
I don’t agree.
I think at any point in time one could make the same comment. Is there ever ‘a good time’ is my point.
I feel quite blessed to have my children and grandchildren. We will deal with whatever we are dealt, as has been done for century after century.
We are here for a short period of human-defined time. A time span smaller than a tiny sand grain in a massive desert.
The present time is the only time we have, it is always a good time to bring a child into the world because the present is the only time there is in our existence.
Depending on the circumstances, there could be OK times and good times, but then there are the Bad Times.
Like being a Native American in the 1700s, or a jew in 1939 Germany.
I see no point in bringing a child into a world in which the ruling overlords are targeting children.
But it’s not up to me, so don’t worry about it.
I have always figured that the climate crisis (pushed mainly by politicians and their paid for studies) was a stage play for Oil Depletion.
Is it just unthinkable to simply tell us the truth.
It is so EASY to be a climate change sceptic.
Back in the old days when peak oil was a more popular topic I’d share my concerns and views about what happens when the oil runs out. I discovered to my dismay that most people didn’t have the capacity to grasp such a concept. They’d get angry and think I was some wierd leftist greenie weenie. The idea that we’d collectively be stupid enough to base an entire civilization on a non-renewable resource was something that simply could not compute in their minds. My guess is that when resource depletion ends our way of life they’ll be blaming their distress on the evil people out there that somehow took their oil away from them. As JHK has often pointed out, people think the planet is a giant oil filled candy bar with that creamy nougat of endless oil in the center of it. Somehow evil men have taken their candy away.
I must disagree with foregoing premises. Putting the abiotic oil argument aside, alternate free energy generation / capture systems have been invented and reinvented for more than 100 years (ever hear of Nikola Tesla?) For some odd reason all these inventions have come to naught either at the patent office (under contract to the UK) or undertakers (dead men make no inventions).The whole energy issue is about control of technology and the PTB will go to any length to control this vital technology. The earth is SWIMMING in low cost accessible energy but woe is the person that tries to bring this technology to benefit humanity.
loosethedogs – you are correct sir. I mentioned Telsa to my father-in-law, and he says, “You mean the car?”. That’s what we’re dealing with.
Woodchuck, exactly. “Conservatives” insist everyone who doesn’t drive a SPT must be gay. I try to explain my eBike fetish saves fuel, reduces demand, helps lower prices but they look at me like I’m nuts or something else. Econ 101 evades them when it comes to oil, sadly.
Jim used to preach endless about peak oil–going way back–been in the oil business almost 50 years–we are at the end of cheap oil but there is a endless supply but wont be cheap–and goooovermints keep screwing around with oil companies they all say get it yourself,bye-the earth is full of oil and it ain’t fossil fuels,total bs–when the oil comes thru the Earth’s crust it picks up organic material that mixes with the oil—the way it is used is stupid–they use the stupid way because it is a lot cheaper–same with coal or any other fuel—one volcano puts out as much emissions in a month as humans do in a year–i think there is 30 active volcanoes at any given time–people are really stupid–“climate change” is total bullshit unless you mean fall,winter,spring ,summer–everything on this planet is in cycles,everything,weather is one of them–oil will never run out–at 200 bucks a barrel it will be shocking how much there is
If you want to know who the fool is, you have only to look in the mirror. (Sorry for the V quote). There are huge amounts of oil and coal left and uranium will never run out. Humans problems are not technical, they are social.
As others here have said, there is plenty of safe, proven reliable energy out there.
However, that list does not include the current energy darlings of the left, solar and wind.
It does include bridge forms of energy, like natural gas and nuclear. Things which have a few hundred years to go while something better is developed.
It does NOT include the political spine to produce a coherent plan to implement. That is the real problem.
In order to survive this man-made energy crisis, some “feelings” are going to be hurt.
I personally doubt that will happen, using things like Covid as a distraction – “Oh Look A Booster!” work perfectly well.
The maelstrom of bad policy decisions will continue until it doesn’t.
Peak oil and resource depletion are about as serious as “climate change.”
Thank you for sparing us another tale of doom and gloom. A tale being spun since at least the 60s.
Even creamy nougat centers can inevitably become depleted. Just explain it to them that way and see what happens. We are running out of our creamy nougat center of oil. Just say that.
@Night Owl
“A tale being spun since at least the 60s.”
Like the great Paul Ehrlich, who has a 100% track record of overpopulation and resource exhaustion forecasts since the 60’s.
He’s still going at 91 and cannot admit his mistakes.
The poster boy of academic failure.
The basic thing is that these prognosticators never take into account human ingenuity.

Awesome, Woodchuck. Look how many cornucopians chimed in to inform you about free, unlimited energy that the evil men have taken away.
Tesla! Abiotic! Human ingenuity! Oil from water!
They totally proved your point.
Some place should have a community centre called The Creamy Nougat Centre.
My spell-check doesn’t like center spelled center, no matter the context. It prefers centre. Is that French?

” Look how many cornucopians chimed in to inform you about free, unlimited energy that the evil men have taken away.”
Debating with cornucopians is basically a waste of time. Some things must be learned the hard way. I’ve tried and failed to convince alcoholics (and one drug addict I knew) to stop what they were doing. It didn’t work. A person addicted either to alcohol or the petroleum dependent lifestyle won’t care much about what you say, and it takes a lot more than words and reason for them to change their position or their behavior.
@ Yirgach “The basic thing is that these prognosticators never take into account human ingenuity.”
I don’t underestimate human ingenuity at all. Once petroleum and electricity are too expensive for operating trains, smart and skilled humans will figure out how to move people and cargo around another way. Forget about solar panels or wiindmills. They’ll be using coal, iron ore, and scrap iron to make steel. With that steel they’ll build coal or wood fired steam locomotives. Problems solved and civilized living continues on its way!
Indeed Wood,
The reason being is that you know you are constructing a straw man with the term “cornucopian,” and, ofc, you cannot ever back up the claims you are making regarding “carrying capacity” or peak oil.
When one has nothing, debate is indeed something to be avoided.
Run along now.
the hoot owl says:
“When one has nothing, debate is indeed something to be avoided.”
Well, I could start with all the complicated and technical radioisotope studies proving oil is of biological origin. Or I could point out that Saudi Arabia is using water to flush the last remaining oil out of some of their wells. Or I could suggest that the last remaining oil in the continental US has to be obtained by very complex and costly fracking procedures.
I’ve a relative that’s doing *very* well for himself up in the Dakota oilfields, and his descriptions of working at those fracking sites are very interesting to me. Rows of huge locomotive sized diesel engines run 24 hours a day providing the hydraulic force to do the fracking. It takes a lot of diesel and a lot of energy up front to build all the complex giant machines used in the fracking process. He tells me the noise at these sites is very bad and ear protection is mandatory.
But it used to be that in the 1800’s in Pa you could drill a shallow well and the oil would spurt out of the ground and rain down on the drilling crews. For some reason oil wells don’t do that anymore. Do you think that might be due to resource depletion? Probably not eh? It’s just one of those unsolvable mysteries that just can’t be figured out. To get more oil all we really need to do is just drill deeper instead so we can get closer to and get more of that big yummy creamy nougat of oil in the center of the earth. It’s all good!
Wood,
How much oil is left in the ground?
Be specific and show your proof.
Thanks.
How much? If you wish to know that go talk to some petroleum geologists and oil companies. Some sources will tell you that we’ve pumped out at least 1/2 of all the petroleum that the good lord put in the ground for us. But the issue isn’t how much is left. The issue is how much will it cost to remove the rest of it? In the ND fracking fields it takes a lot of oil to produce oil. The fracking for motor fuels will stop when the business model of doing so is no longer profitable, when it takes too much energy to get that energy. Instead, oil will be produced for other purposes such as chemicals, lubricants, or even lamp oil. And those products will be expensive due to the costs involved in getting the oil to make them. Yes, we’ll still be pumping oil out of the ground 1000 years from now, assuming we don’t first blow ourselves up before that time. But we won’t be using oil for motor fuels. Fuggedaboutit.
1000 years from now, assuming we’ve not blown ourselves up by then, we’ll still be using oil. The question is will we be using that oil to burn in engines so we can shop at Walmart and go to Disneyworld? The answer is no we will not.
Hey there Owl – There is a concept regarding using petroleum as a motor fuel us peak oilers call “EROEI”. That means “energy returned on energy invested”. Once you understand how that works we can discuss this more.
Debating cornucopians is similar to debating Christian fundamentalist Rapture believers. I’ve tried and failed to talk them out of their belief that everything is going to be just fine for them up to the very end. They’ll be blessed believers who will live high on the hog in fuel dependent American suburbia until God takes them to heaven where they will party and rule for the next 1000 years or so. This belief gives them much hope as well as no incentive to prepare for what is actually coming.
The cornucopians believe somet+hing similar except their hopes are pinned on the belief in an endless supply of oil that will keep the party going for many centuries. Trying to argue with any members of these two groups gets you nowhere. You’ll either get preached at or they’ll get angry with you as a nonbeliever. The cornucopians will say “run along now”.
Yeah, so how much oil is left in the ground?
Spare me your angry gamma male Christian-fundie nutfuckery, get specific, and show your proof.
Thanks.
Why should I waste my time going through oil business publications and petroleum geology books when you won’t accept the answer anyway? If you want a precise answer as to how many barrels are left there are many scientific and business publications out there that will give you an accurate rough estimate. Get off your butt and find out yourself. You might learn some things in the process.
Germany is going back to the exact same state of affairs that existed there when I spent summers in Munich back in the mid 50’s. I loved it because the streets were safe for bike riding and I could travel about on my own as I liked. But not today. Four wheeled gas addicted buttheads like yourself have taken over the roads and made that impossible for the average 7 year old kid. But not for much longer, and for the same reasons. When the Germans attacked Russia the last time they got their asses handed to them and in the 50’s they were a poor country. They are soon once more to enjoy this type of car-less poverty – and ironically for the very same reasons – just can’t leave the Ruskies alone!

A concern there is that the energy to fuel human ingenuity can be hard/harder to find, acquire, transport, process and exploit– those kinds of things.
Even you as a human engine need to do similar with your own energy.

(And it is hilarious)
Hey Owl! I don’t give a hoot! Carry on with your delusions.
You wrote four soliloquies, Wood–each angrier and emptier than the last.
I am quite entertained.
TLH, Agreed.
Night Owl, we can probably find that out in a roundabout/indirect way by the apparent fact that the harder-to-extract fossil fuels are being now exploited.
Also there is such a thing as ‘proven reserves’, if that means what’s left. If so, it would seem an easy search engine thing, maybe using ‘images’ too, what with possible depletion charts of various sorts.
There might be a lot of oil in the ground but it would seem to be harder to extract. Human ingenuity– so called– only goes so far. I mean, we can hardly send a robot to the moon without occasionally crashing it. LOL
Perhaps it’s a bit like some of the covid stuff where we can find out the truths or perhaps closer to them in roundabout ways, such as via insurance claims, funeral parlours, actuaries, retirees in the know who have less to lose by bean-spilling, seemingly-empty hospital-crashers with cameras, and so forth.
My chips say Woodchuck may be onto something.

It occurred to me back in mid-adolescence, about 60 years ago, that as the US was at the top of the materialist pile – King of the Mountain – it would have the farthest to fall. That process is now underway.

Or, another way to put it, unto whom much is given, of him shall much be required.

It is hard to imagine a great civilization with immoral leadership.
@ Mitchellc:
As I’ve said before, the issue of population overshoot and resource depletion are problems only in some parts of the world. In some areas, such as Africa, both agricultural land and other resources would be more than adequate to provide for the population, if land was used productively and other resources were managed productively.
There are vast areas of the earth that are under-populated.
I don’t know enough about India to even begin to try to assess their prospects re population, and, frankly, I don’t know enough about China either. (Who does?)
The US and Europe would have stable or declining populations, ex immigration, and the immigration problem could probably be solved by productive use of land and resources in Africa, Mexico, and South and Central America. In many of the areas of the world that are experiencing population pressures, the problems are really political–which means that there could be political solutions.
The reason that political solutions are not considered is because the political problems arise from elites’ policies, put in place to benefit elites (and impoverish everyone else). The solutions would mainly be decentralization, especially decentralized land ownership, and finding a good way to address land-tenure policies. Basically, the people have to (privately) own the means of production, and to be able to retain ownership of their labor products–in other words, no taxing it away or inflating it away.
Apparently, the elites find it more palatable to devise ways to kill everyone off.
I’ve also mentioned before that the US has immense fossil fuel resouces–probably mainly in the form of coal. Russia also has vast fossil fuel resources.
While this does not mean that we can squander them, it does mean that we should be able to manage for a very long time, though it might be wise to somewhat moderate fossil fuel usage. One way to do that would be to stop wasting fossil fuels in wars. In the US, decentralization, especially of food production, would greatly reduce fossil fuel usage. Decentralization would also allow greater use of wood for heat. A decentralized economy would reduce fuel usage for commuting for work and shopping.
The elites will consider no solutions to supposed overshoot and resource depletion that do not ensure that they retain power and preferably accumulate more power.
The elites that count are implementing the new format for life, the primary decisions have been made, and the vast majority do not have a say in the matter (view the links in my post above).
Ask yourself: Why is it that mortal enemies in the middle east have all of a sudden become best friends?
As you say, you ensure that they retain power and preferably accumulate more power, and then entice them with money like that which just happened in Iran.

Because there are too many people on the planet and altruistic elites are actually doing good by killing as many as possible in various ways – bullets are way too messy.

us?
If you personally would like to live in a sparsely populated area, there are plenty of such paradises. Now, if you want to live in NYC or some other city, but not have any people in it, you would have to devise a way to get rid of them.

Yet how many of the electorate in ‘Merica are still deluded and in denial about covid among many things?
How many people are now running around masked up while walking down the street alone and driving in their glass bubbles?
I finally hung out with my dad last weekend after literally three years of no visits at Seal beach and attempted to have a discussion about the looming covid crisis. When I brought it up he clammed right up and refused to discuss it.
This from the guy who launched into twenty minutes scathing rebuke of anthropogenic global warming.
I told him the same people pushing that scam are also behind covid and changed the subject to lunch. Two chicken sandwiches, one french fry order, and two waters for the low low price of $56.45.
Gas has shot up to $5.30 a gallon at the cheap place and down the street at the not so cheap place is hovering just under $6 a fillup now is costing just under $100. Good Job Joe place more areas off limits!
After three years of not seeing the man and discovering his controlling manipulating partner had possibly messed with his ability to text and call his only response when I brought it up was to say we need to do our own thing and leave her out of it.
I then told him I thought I was persona non grata…and he did not deny it.
I then discovered during this time he had a heart stint operation and a hand operation.
But you know well Covid so they did not want me to worry and or drive up.
I tell you everyone has lost their minds over all this.
The people who never really had a mind are most susceptible to the hive mind.
The people with their own minds who followed are of the mind that it is best to go where one’s bread is buttered.
The remainder with their own mind, mind very much when groupthink, diktats, and scare tactics attempt to free them from it (their ordered logic grounded mind).
Reminds me of a famous quote from Dan Quayle: “A mind is a terrible thing to lose” – yes indeed!
That reminds me, Mike Pence says Americans might have to fight Russia.
And people wonder why “military aged men” are being imported by the millions.
There lies a pathway to citizenship through the military.
Even the dumbest country white boys know that signing up for the military is a fool’s errand.
The military has been forced to cast their nets elsewhere. The detention and D/F student rolls in the Bible Belt are fished out.
Avatar, I never thought of that. With military recruitment way down, enlist the millions coming in.. That makes a lot of sense for our evil overlords.
Another thought: Those so recruited with a little “training” would have few qualms killing domestic “insurrectionists” in the US.
Bingo, Jimpa.

Americans might just have to fight the millions of military aged men who have illegally flooded our borders. Other than China/cartel Joe being bribed to allow cartels to control the border, the most obvious reason to allow this invasion is to employ them to fight against those opposing Joe and his marxist minions. As Jim states, perhaps they are pushing for a civil war/insurrection, and illegals with no loyalty to this nation or its laws and citizens, would constitute a ready made army, especially since they are on the dole with $2200 monthly checks from China Joe and his administration. Over 7 million, not counting the got-a-ways have crossed, with millions more on the way. An illegal army of millions coupled with antifa and blm, as well as American military who do not object to killing Americans, would make for a long and extremely bloody war as destructive as the Ukrainian war we caused.
jgalt – for the last 49 consecutive months, a million or more guns have been sold – most in the hands of people who know how to use them. This, in addition to the 100’s of millions of privately owned weapons (and stocked ammunition) already owned – many by ex-military.
Antifa and BLM are pussies – backed down and pounded by the Proud Boys in every single instance. The Proud Boys haven’t gone anywhere, neither have the Oath Keepers, the 3%ers and the 1%ers.
On to the military – there is a sizable contingent in the military, that will not follow unlawful, read unconstitutional, orders. They will be facing off with the ones you mention who would not object to killing Americans.
Civil wars & revolutionary always have a military component – they will split and materialize when the time comes.
There will be plenty of combatants on both sides – the battles will not be asymmetric – think Viet Cong and Mujahideen – never defeated in their own lands.
Yes, the immigrants have $2200 per month to fight for – we have much more. We only lack an organized unified command structure, and we will lack continual communication when the grid goes down.
Other than that, personally, I say bring it.
Edit: *will be asymmetric*
Good analysis.
I read somewhere that high-order decision-making depends on two other things besides intelligence: independence (you don’t let other people’s opinions cloud your thinking) and objectivity (you don’t let emotions cloud your thinking).
Which explains why some of the most intense Covidians I know are people of very high intelligence. But fear and guilt got a lot of them. By guilt, I’m referring to the manipulators’ campaign to convince everyone that their vulnerable loved ones would die if they themselves did not mask up, isolate themselves, and get the damned shots.
And of course, most of the people who were mandated by their employers to get the jabs only submitted because they couldn’t imagine losing their homes and ability to provide for their kids.
“This from the guy who launched into twenty minutes scathing rebuke of anthropogenic global warming.
I told him the same people pushing that scam are also behind covid ”
Actually, it occurred to me this a.m. to recall that the first “line of defense” for explaining the origin of the “novel” SARS-CoV-2 virus was not only the hapless pangolin, but AGW.
Recall that Michael Osterholm, the head of CIDRAP, explained to Joe Rogan in I think April 2020, and the rest of us, that more and more dangerous viruses would be jumping from wild animals to humans, the more humans advance into wild areas and the more wild animals come into contact with humans via hunting them for food by people living in these edge areas, changes in their range owing to climate change, etc.
Osterholm is one who made it crystal clear early on that the masks are useless, even in the setting of an operating theater, and that the papers the CDC was using to justify mask mandates contained no actual data about mask effectiveness. He said this in his June 2020 podcast, which was about mask effectiveness.
Everything that he said then has been reinforced by the recent meta-paper on mask (in)effectiveness.
However, back then he had pretty much backtracked by mid-July. Citing him as a source on mask commonsense was challenged by the mask maniacs, who pointed to his more recent statements to nullify one’s own.
But, back to my main point, which is that I think in the beginning “they” were going to try to hang this thing on climate change.
This seems like the kind of idea that might emerge from the participants in Event 201, although I haven’t seen videos to support it.
Maybe they changed it to the lab origins, at least that’s what they told President Trump, because Trump knew climate change was bunk, so they had to get him with a super-duper virus the likes of which the world had never seen.
They told him just enough of the truth to get him really scared.
A few people asked if ‘the virus’ was ever seen. Fewer still listened to them.
I love how the Big Lie is morphing now, becoming ever grander.

Benr,
A horrible circumstance…you have my sympathy.
Yes, thank you for noting it, my thoughts as well.
One of the brothers found himself losing massive amounts of muscle and weight, going from 200 lbs to 140 lbs in six months. Extreme mood swings. He went in for a physical and asked for a T test. Almost nothing. He confronted his wife and she broke down and admitted she had been feeding him female hormones because she was jealous – even when he was around female relatives. He hadn’t been cheating. The love of his life was revealed to be a scheming psychopath. The body doesn’t recover from months of such a regimen. He’ll be in hormone therapy the rest of his life.
How come that doesn’t work for women?!
Yes, I just saw you were a woman in another comment. And you think this is funny, right?
Your fallen nature is on display.
Did that really happen?
I don’t think it happened. The whole trans thing talks about testosterone blockers, as well as estrogen.
I don’t think that taking estrogen alone blocks testosterone.
It doesn’t.
@Jarek, That’s awful beyond words. We can bear almost anything except this kind of betrayal from someone loved and trusted. I’ve often thought that, unlike love, we come into the world with a finite amount of trust. Once used up, we can never trust again. What could be worse than to render someone unable to trust again?
I’ll try to balance this sickening tale with a bit of hope. My sister, in a very long and difficult marriage, took most loving personal care of her husband at home for the entire last three years of his life when his dementia made him lose all control of his bodily and mental functions. He was ornery and twice her size, but she was unfailingly tender to him. She was encouraged by many people around her to put him in a nursing home, and sometimes scorned and berated because she refused. He spent only one day in hospital – the last day of his life, when he could no longer breathe on his own.
As a culture, and often on an individual level, we’ve sunk into worse than savagery. But we’re better than this – at least, we can be.
Rowdy – they say there are angels here among us – your sister is one.
Yes, beautiful. I believe it and you. And since you believe me, here’s one of the stories:
My wife did this to me 15 years ago. I thought I was the only one until this video!
Yeah, it SUCKS! 15 years later I’m perfectly healthy, but I will always have issues from time to time.
It costs me roughly a thousand dollars a year for HRT and I’ll be on it for life.
The worst part is, turning a man into the beta they think they want actually makes him into something she isn’t attracted to any more. Wife finally left our family after 25 years of marriage.
You guys keep saying you’d sue or do something about it.
But trust me, you wouldn’t. Because you don’t want your kids to suddenly see you as the bad guy. Because you want to just.move.on. And because, even with proof, no one will believe you.
And women will actually laugh at you and think it’s just a hilarious prank. And a lot of men will just say that you’re less of a man if your natural testosterone didn’t overcome it. That’s not how it works!
Also, it took me 14 years to put all the pieces together and finally figure it out and confront her. Statue of limitations was long past.
I guess I have two points here. First, watch your back and don’t get married. Apparently this is something that does happen.
And second, if you find yourself talking to a victim of this, please don’t shame the dude. Try to be kind. We didn’t choose this!
Jarek: The average woman’s first response is hilarity. But I believe there is a higher type, though rare. Our pundits estimate that about 10% of women are willing and able to see men as full human being and not just things to be manipulated.
Perhaps some women attain this later, thru become mothers of sons. One academic in our movement, Karen Straughan, describes the horror that hit her when they reached adolescent: There is literally going to be nothing for them.
correction: adolescence
@Jarek, that’s a sad and dreadful story and there’s no way to make it right. I wish I could.
I’ll tell you that my husband made a young, naive marriage to one of these kinds of women, who tormented him for eight years, put him into enormous debt, and finally killed herself after complaining that he didn’t make enough money (he worked as a consultant for Apple and made a lot of money, all of which she spent on personal luxuries).
We met about the time of her death, when she’d taken up with a gay man and had run out of options in every area of her life. We spent the first seven years of our marriage paying off her debts – most of which we had no idea what they actually were, credit cards opened in every retail outlet you can think of.
We’ve taken loving care of each other through many years – sickness, health, tragedies, layoffs, lousy jobs and a million disappointments – but never disappointed in each other. We’ll do so will do until we die – as we promised.
It’s a gift beyond measure, and I wish I could give it to others. All I can do is to say that it’s rare but not impossible. There’s surely someone who can love each of us this much, but I admit there are vast numbers of humans (particularly, at this juncture in time, women) who are deadly. I’m lucky to have had loving and loyal women in my family, and to have grown up in the company of my grandfather – the very best of men.
That didn’t happen either.
Above remark to Jarek, not RP
Because women never do anything wrong, right Beryl?
That attitude itself shows how bad they are.
Rowdy: You have attained bodhicitta, or the wish for all to be happy. Absolute bodhicitta is the wise for all to be perfectly happy – which means Enlightened.
You would be wise to take up Pure Land practice as you are eminently qualified to be reborn in the Pure Land of Amida Buddha.
bodhicitta, or the wish for all to be happy – Jar
==============
I looked it up and see no mention of “happy.”
In Mahayana Buddhism, bodhicitta, is the mind that is aimed at awakening, with wisdom and compassion for the benefit of all sentient beings. Bodhicitta is the defining quality of the Mahayana bodhisattva and the act of giving rise to bodhicitta is what makes a bodhisattva a bodhisattva. Wikipedia
These things are the essence of happiness, Q, absolute bodhicitta.
Rowdy wishing her marital bliss to all who desire it, is relative bodhicitta.
@ Jarek:
You read this story online, right?
So everything online is fake – including you?
Defeated again.
A simple solution:
1) The Donald is the Presidential candidate of *BOTH* Parties.
2) He loses the election.
Any questions?
I hear that “Joe Biden” and the Dems support the UAW strikers. I predict that within 2 years the Big 3 automakers will be begging the US gov for a bailout.
What might happen with the big three is they all go bankrupt and consolidate into one automaker. Then they’ll be making some junky and shitty little cars just for us and comparable in quality to what the old Soviet car makers offered.
Fetterman, the brain-dead galoot from PA, was dispatched as envoy to the UAW strikers.
The Democrats want less cars. They want less car ownership.
One way to do this is by making them prohibitively expensive for the majority.
Higher wages will mean even higher prices.
Average folks will succumb to the subscription based shared vehicle platform.
Another piece to this program is managing and restricting one’s carbon footprint. It will be much easier when people are dependent on subscription usage.
The era of personally owned vehicles for the common man is coming to a close.
You won’t own a car, and you’ll like it.
I predict this carless era will last approximately 2 years before crime just engulfs everything, Wall Street goes down in a blaze of gunfire, and the local-warlord era begins.
Variation on the ‘mad max’ scenario.
The plan is for you to put you wife and daughter onto one of their stinking city buses with vagrants, criminals & drug addicts. They’re balls-in for electric buses, which cost 3x as much as a standard bus and tend to burst into flames when you least expect it. We’ve had two of them ignite in the past year, luckily with no passengers on board. The Climate Change Honchos and EPA bigwigs, feeling smug, will blow past you in their $180,000 Lucid Air EVs while you wait for the bus at some filthy bus stop that smells like urine.
That’s the future they got planned out for you.
Gustafson—
Hmm, guess who will have cars (and gas). . .??
Like, who will have guns …?
LIke who will have booze. . .?
Like, who will have drugs . . . .?
Who was it that had that dream of the era of personally owned vehicles all moving about on superhighways called “autobahns”?
That we’d all have our own “volkswagon”? How did all the rest of this man’s dreams work out?
Yes, the workers want to be treated (relatively) well – like what the unions were finally able to deliver in the Old America. Not happening – unless it benefits the Agenda somehow.
I’m surprised that China hasn’t entered the US car market. They could put the big 3 out of business in no time. The average car price in China is about 8k.
Jack,
They could never compete with good American know-how. Do you think that a few “Chinese laundrymen”, as Ned Almond called them, can compete on a global level with the US?
(6) ONI LEAK: CHINESE SHIPBUILDING CAPACITY INSURMOUNTABLE: A leaked slide from a presentation by the Office of Naval Intelligence highlighted concerns that China’s rapidly expanding shipbuilding industry is 200 times more capable than the U.S. shipbuilding industry.
A senior research fellow for the Center for National Defense said there was no near-term fix for the capability gap between China and the U.S.
The slide outlined China’s shipyard capacity at 23.2 million tons compared to 100,000 tons for the U.S.
That is one of the most concerning statistics I’ve read in years. The oceans truly are America’s ace-in-the-hole when it comes to not being invaded by China or any other Eurasian military land power. They are to us, what the English Channel has been for centuries to the British.
Control of the seas must never be lost or this country of fat, effeminate, woke Gen Z males will one day be efficiently dispatched by Chinese Marines swarming the shores of California.
E. Chinese EVs suck as bad as their motorcycles and ICE cars. They are junk, with a tendency to overheat and catch on fire.
BRH,
Yeah, maybe, but don’t confuse built-to-a-pricepoint consumer goods with their capabilities to do otherwise.
Jack Straw, No way, the Gov. made sure the cars are as expensive as possible with all the regulations and mandates.
I’m guessing that the US is blocking cars from China. That’s how they do, with their highly lauded “free market principles”, as part of their “western values” they also brag on.
They did the same thing with Huawei phones.
The Huawei phones were blocked for back doors much like tiktok is a mechanism for stealing data not because they are cheaper knock offs of apple and other cell phones.
My business is installing auto glass. The complexity level of even our little specialty is ridiculous. The complexity (and size and weight) is going to have to come back out of automotive design, because on average, we can’t afford it anymore. Think 1992 Toyota Camry, and you’re heading in the right direction.
Rainmaker,
Not quite following you.
Are you saying that the complexity of every aspect of cars, such as just the auto glass, means that soon we will have no capacity to build a decent vehicle?
Does this mean back to the Deux Chevaux? It really was the first “people’s car.”
“Conceived by Citroën Vice-President Pierre Boulanger to help motorise the large number of farmers still using horses and carts in 1930s France,[4] the 2CV has a combination of innovative engineering and straightforward, utilitarian bodywork.[5][6][7] The 2CV featured overall low cost of ownership, simplicity of maintenance, an easily serviced air-cooled engine (originally offering 9 hp), and minimal fuel consumption. In addition, it had literally been designed to cross a freshly ploughed field with a basket full of eggs on the passenger’s seat without breaking them, because of the great lack of paved roads in France then; with a long-travel suspension system,[8] that connects front and rear wheels, giving a very soft ride. . . . ”
httpX://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_2CV
Why not?
I think this is a likely scenario.
“Americans have begun to notice that the billions funneled into Mr. Zelensky’s cadre of neo-Nazis and kleptocrats is money that is not going to places like East Palestine, Ohio, Lahaina, Maui, and the towns along our tortured southern border from Matamoros to Tijuana. ”
Regarding Lahaina, it his looking more and more like the conspiracies that started going around immediately were right. Dear God.
The people are now being told they won’t be getting their waterfront property back because of climate change.

We are at war now. Sad but true. So … whatcha gonna do about it?
This place is deeply embarrassing at times
LOL
100: If they would do half the things you acknowledge they’ve done, why would they stint at hitting Lahaina? And perhaps testing out new weapons that can be blamed on natural phenomena – perhaps during inclement weather to strengthen the cover story?
Gee, you kinda got me there. I mean what’s there to doubt about your own government testing out space-lasers or another type of direct energy weapon, that’s allergic to blue of course, on a resort town in your own country?
The preponderance of evidence. A blue car and a blue umbrella. A temporary black privacy fence. You know in posh neighborhoods they are HOA enforced?
Never mind the downed power lines and high winds. Nah, too fishy. Definitely space laser.
How about the no water, sport? Or directing motorists into a blocked street?
You don’t believe in satellite weapons? Google “rods from God” for an old one.
Power lines blown down, no power. No power, no water.
Power lines down; police directing traffic every which way; a fire starts and spreads suddenly in about 30 min.
When they do actually use that ray-beam one day, no one will listen to the idea because they’ll say, “Oh, yeah, right, wolf-crier. Like Lahaina?”
One Solo, you keep dodging this question: Why did you used put quote marks around missing when you used refer to Lahaina’s missing 2,000+ children?
Yeah, of course, the police were all in on it too.
Sworn to secrecy.
NDA’s!
Firemen too!
And Oprah and her pet Rock.
All because they want to put a deep water yacht port and child sacrifice convention building there.
Nothing gets by this crowd
Have you never even heard of the Masonic Temple, 100? Of course they all masterbated in a coffin and sacrificed a child on video to be a 33rd degree and enjoy its wealth and its standing and its privilege. Of course they are all life-destroyingly blackmailable. Of course they are called upon for a “favour” [duty] (just like any functioning Cosa Nostra).
Of course they are all in on it, 100. D’uh!

Avatar, I concur, but then I believe airplanes can take down skyscrapers too.
The weapons part doesn’t have to be true, for the theory that somebody wanted Lahaina burnt out so they could steal the land to be true.
Considering all the wild conspiracies flying around that have turned out to be fact, concerning covid, the WEF, 15 minute cities, etc., it is WISE to preserve even the things that appear much too far-fetched.
Alex Jones has been going on about China using space based laser systems to burn down Lahaina. He also claims that Blackrock controlls China. I think Alex is fulla shit on this issue.
Alex usually is.
Alex knows how to use click bait.
People have been saying Alex is full of it for years and yet so many things he has said have come to pass.
As he claims he has read the documentation.
My only real question is did he really read it somewhere or did he give someone the ideas and they made it happen?
I have listened to him off and on for twenty years and he is more correct than wrong.
Did anyone else observe how fast that black fabric “wall” went up around Lahaina? How were the city officials able to (a) think of that, and (b) find the materials, and (c) erect it? That’s pretty damned efficient! Reminds me of the speed with which the Two Towers debris was removed at “Ground Zero”.
It’s to keep the dust in, you know? They even have their fence heavily guarded (on the outside) to ensure that no dust gets any wise ideas about escaping.
Again, in most posh and high-end home neighborhoods, privacy screening during construction, remodeling, etc., is obligatory.
There are a lot of high-end homes in Maui.
Nothing surprising.
Right. The fencing is used to keep prying eyes out whether it be a construction site or a mass-murder crime scene.
Differences:
– 2,000+ missing children
– The construction of this fence was top-priority over even survivors’ water, food and shelter
– This fence is heavily guarded – on the outside
– They say that the fence is to keep dust in – like we do not have brains!
Dictatorship Rationalization
Where/When one is unsure, it helps to fallback to the fundamental; that government is coercive and blankets a population within its arbitrary borders with its laws and therefore cannot be trusted because they are offering and imposing an abusive, non-consensual relationship, via their so-called laws.
‘Wakie wakie!’, as they keep saying while many people nevertheless keep on sleeping or maybe obstinately pretending to be doing so for one reason or another.
JHK– you know, our host?– has Paul Craig Roberts’ quotes right at the top to show us how grown men who should know better actually do not.
They seem to think that some law or laws is/are what’s required, such as for people of this planet who have nothing– and want nothing– to do with them.
It’s a Matrix, Plato’s Cave, Circus, Pen, Zoo, Panopticon, Truman Show imposed.
It is not for you to tell me how to live as long as I am doing no harm.
If it is, then you are arguing for a dictatorship.
Paul Craig Roberts and James Howard Kunstler, in all their ostensible abject ignorance where this is concerned– and at their ages no less– appear to be arguing for and rationalizing a dictatorship.
Naive Grandpas & The Baked-In Self-Destruction Of Our-Way-Or-The-Highway Rules (AKA, The Rule Of Law)
“When you give power over law to people who see law only as a weapon with which to get enemies, you destroy the rule of law. That’s what the dumbshit white liberals have done.” ~ Grandpa Paul Craig Roberts
Edit:
“…via their so-called laws.”
Add:
“…via their so-called laws, backed up by a monopoly on violence through such thug outfits as the police, military and ‘private’ ‘security’ forces, with a keyword being force.”
—-
Bonus:
“While the monopoly on violence as the defining conception of the state was first described in sociology by Max Weber in his essay Politics as a Vocation (1919), the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force is a core concept of modern public law, which goes back to French jurist and political philosopher Jean Bodin’s 1576 work Les Six livres de la République and English philosopher Thomas Hobbes’ 1651 book Leviathan. Weber claims that the state is the ‘only human Gemeinschaft which lays claim to the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force. As such, states can resort to coercive means such as incarceration, expropriation, humiliation, and death threats to obtain the population’s compliance with its rule and thus maintain order. However, this monopoly is limited to a certain geographical area, and in fact this limitation to a particular area is one of the things that defines a state.’ In other words, Weber describes the state as any organization that succeeds in holding the exclusive right to use, threaten, or authorize physical force against residents of its territory. Such a monopoly, according to Weber, must occur via a process of legitimation.” ~ Wikipedia

“Anarchism [anarchy] is participatory… it’s based on the assumption that any authoritarian or any structure of authority and domination has to justify itself– none of them are self-justifying– whether they’re in individual relations, or international affairs or the workplace or whatever…
They have a burden of proof to bear, and if they can’t bear that burden– which they usually can’t– they’re illegitimate and should be dismantled and replaced by alternative structures which are free and participatory and are not based on authoritarian systems…” ~ Noam Chomsky

I’ve been to China and seen places that reminded me of Bladerunner scenes. And ghost cities in progress before they were called that, with treeless forests of cookiecutter highrise chicken-coops fading into the distance in the smog.

Yes they tore down whole areas to build luxury apartments no one could afford. The madness of Capitalism on display. Classical Communism is more sensible than this kind of filth.
If you don’t want it, why do anarchists march with Communists?
No anarchists I know or have heard about is ‘marching’ with any Communists.
If they are or have, like you, our host or Paul Craig Roberts, they may be ill-advised.
So what else is new.
They do it all the time. Remember, Truth must be the principle of change – not lies to win arguments.
Who’s ‘they’? ‘March with communists’ sounds like something you lifted from a book. The real world’s a fair bit different. You might see fit to try it more often.
Who owns the Federal Reserve?

And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”
– an unnamed official in the George W. Bush administration [widely believed to be Karl Rove]
That is, your guess is as good as mine. My guess is this fall.
3) This is also a pure guess but I think TS’ll HTF before gas ever gets to $10/gallon in the USA. I think that gas will go on rations and black market before it goes to $10 in some sort of giant normalcy ceteris paribus.
Black markets serve a purpose. When they become large, they act as indicators of what is occuring in a society.
Right. North Americans have lived very a sheltered existence from such 3rd-world market structures. Except for criminals and illicit drug users, most Americans and Canadians will be doing a lot of on-the-job training in the black market (i.e. getting ripped off).
Nope, nope, nope, sorry to disagree with you. There is NOTHING that will get Americans out into the streets in outrage (except for maybe abortion rights). They simply cannot be outraged (except if you’re smoking in a bus shelter when its raining, for instance). $10/gal gas isn’t gonna do it. They’ll just demand that someone else go without so they can have.
I must clarify. I am not suggesting that $10 gas would be the last straw causing TS to HFT. I am suggesting that TPTB will invoke their planned SHTF before gas gets to $10. And, as I say, it is only a pure guess.
Bravo. Radical individualism has its limitations. Once you aren’t a people anymore and there are no standards, you can only protest when They tell you to protest – which is the specialty of the Left.
Ye people aren’t even willing to take out a dollar bill, turn it over, and study the Pyramid. I tried to get our British poster to do it, even providing the image, but instead they started talked about rectangles.
What a square!
Back in the 70’s while visiting Bavaria a cousin was giving me a grand tour of some of the fantastically decorated baroque style churches in the country. It was either the Weis or Rottenbuch churches. In one of them I noted a painting that featured the famous pyramid/eye-in-the-triangle image. I asked him about the painting and he said he didn’t know what that meant. I had great fun surprising him by pulling a dollar bill out of my pocket and showing him the very same Masonic image on the dollar. It seems that some of the builders of that cathedral might have also been Masons.
There is more than one British poster.
I told you that I was perfectly familiar with the pyramid and its meaning and had no need for your dollar bill. As somebody said (oh, was it you?) you are showing your fallen nature. Again. The Father of Lies will be waiting for you with open arms when your time comes. Or perhaps you are just a little dim and have a shockingly bad memory. Mine is bettrer, despite my years. Or perhaps I am just more honest. Whatever.
I told you that Iain Davis had formulated a rectangular schema that is useful for seeing the layers of decision-making globally. You can see it here, if you scroll down very slightly:
jermwarfare.com/conversations/iain-davis-on-the-global-power-structure
If it displeases you, as a schema, do let me know the detail of what you disagree with, in terms of the power structures. Unless you are really not very bright, I think it would be simple enough to extrapolate it to a pyramid structure, to include levels above the BIS and to expand the size of ‘the people’. But, as it s stands, it is a useful diagrammatical representation.
You’re a square in the 60’s sense. If there are more than one British poster, why are you responding?
Expand the size of the people? That’s against the whole point of the Pyramid and why they chose it. You still don’t get it!
Don’t be disingenuous. I knew you were talking about me, because you made the same stupid comment already. Perhaps we are looking at early-onset dementia, as well as fundamental dishonesty.
The base of the pyramid is broader because the people are more numerous, while being powerless. Besides which, if you wish to incorporate the useful and accurate information in Davis’ schema into a pyramid structure, basic geometry requires that the base has to be made broader than the top (following so far?). I suspect one could explain that to a five-year-old, with the help of some plastic shapes.
Oh, ok, yes – but that was the earlier stage. Now they don’t need people so they’re reducing the base.
I didn’t understand you. Sorry.
See how easy that is? Why can’t you do it?
I haven’t done anything to you, because I’m not an inveterate liar like yourself.
You like about not seeing posts of mine that you don’t want deal with – ignoring being the basis of ignorance.
When called on it, you rage that you don’t owe me anything – not even courtesy it would seem.
I am trying to understand how Jarek thinks a person would understand the pyramid model for ruling the world simply by turning over a paper bill and observing a pyramid.
Stop with the nonsense ‘rage’ word. It’s your go to piece of idiocy when you want to put people down. You are not worth rage.
“You like about not seeing posts of mine that you don’t want deal with – ignoring being the basis of ignorance.”
You were unable to show me that you had posted the video you said you’d posted. I asked you several times to repost it (if indeed you ever posted it in the first place). I looked over multiple threads. All you had to do was repost it when requested, as I have done with many links that people have asked for, but you failed to do that.
Indeed, Night Owl. But Jarek’s point is to try to prove I disingenuously didn’t look at it when instructed. It’s just another of his provocations. Yawn …
Zilch: So why is it there? What does it mean? Why did they put it there?
Have you never studied a schema or diagram?
You gut nuthin as usual.
You admitted to having a problem with rage – even tearing up important document(s) on at least one occasion.
Don’t be ridiculous.
‘A problem with rage’ – seriously, get a grip.
Nazi bro.,
Because no one ever said the following:
“There is a pyramid on the back of this paper bill; clearly this is a map of the system that will be used for global domination”
Yeah, a lot of thing aren’t said, genius. This was their way of “saying”.
Only you were able to figure it out, Jarek.
You are the secret big brain.
I think it could be $10.00 soon if Trump is not restored to the White House.
I moved downtown in my small town earlier this year to bring an end to daily commuting by car. I now walk 2 blocks to my office every morning and back home in the afternoon. I drive maybe 50 to 80 miles a month going to buy groceries around town or to visit my mother. Otherwise, the car stays parked 99% of the time. The price of gas has ceased to be very meaningful to me, except when contemplating a road trip for a vacation. Then I get steamed again.
My thanks to JHK for suggesting many years ago that Americans need to go back to living in walkable small town centers instead of automobile-centric suburbia.
I deliberately moved close to town, many years ago, so that I could walk to work if need be.
It works out for me now. I only fill up my tank twice a year, because I live so close. I fill up my gas container twice for the lawn mower twice a summer.
Gas prices mean little to me also. People raging and gnashing their teeth about their God given right to cheap gas are interesting to observe, but can’t be taken seriously. Do they really think that God loves them and wants them to have cheap gas? It seems unlikely.

Where I’m from we called it a lay up.
No, you called it a layup.

No, he wrote lay up. There are none so blind as those who will not see.
“Lay up” is wrong. The noun is layup.
There are none so dumb as those who claim they can but cannot.
Ok, but you wrote, “you called it layup”. He didn’t call it layup or write it layup, so you were wrong. You failed to communicate clearly. You’re supposed to be good at that, right?
You got all mixed up!
The joke was that he couldn’t properly write out what he used to call it. And that this occured as he attempted to arrogantly correct another poster (as usual).
He sucks at language and is a dick; someone has to point it out.
No, you called it a layup.

But, but, but. “Joe Biden will release $6,000,000,000.00 to Iran. That would be 132,276 lbs, of $100 bills, 65+ tons of 100’s, or almost a full C17 Globemaster full of cash. basically IOU’s backed by “The full faith and credit of the US government” . That and $4.00 bucks will buy you a “cup o’ joe”
God bless the people of East Palestine and Lahaina. As you know, I believe that they are victims of incredible evil.
God bless JHK for mentioning these innocents today.
I read today that, as predicted, the people of Lahaina aren’t going to be allowed to rebuild where their homes/businesses once stood: climate change. I predicted to my husband that in spite of getting screwed over by the Biden administration, about 60% would vote for him again in 2024. What say you?
That was 60% of the population of Hawaii, not Lahaina proper.
I would not be surprised either way. We’re so heavily conditioned to support “our party” that people stay the course cycle after cycle.
To the degree actual votes matter, both parties need the faithful show up and a big chunk of independents to vote their way.
The Democrats will have issues in HI with disgruntled D’s staying home (if they still have one) and they will lose many indies if Biden/Harris is the ticket.
If the ticket contains names like Obama, Clinton, Newsom, or Kennedy, they’ll line right up and pull the lever for the D’s without hesitation.
Uh, I say post a link to this “story”
And who’s really outraged over that? Do you see anybody outraged over that? I don’t.
I paid $5 over the weekend, and it wasn’t the expensive Starbucks stuff. Inflation
Iran still got screwed. How many decades were those billions in frozen bank accounts while the actual purchasing power of those dollars declining year after year as Uncle San continued to inflate our money supply.
I reckon our government skimmed 90% of that cash from the Iranians through this very profitable scam.
And now they are doing the same thing to Afghanistan.

What’s Behind the Surge in Migrant Arrivals to Italy?
Thousand of migrants reached the Italian island of Lampedusa on more than 100 boats this week
https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2023-09-15/whats-behind-the-surge-in-migrant-arrivals-to-italy
Horrifying.
“The newly arrived migrants are progressively being transferred onto the mainland, where their asylum requests will be processed. Many hope to continue to other parts of Europe to find work or reunite with relatives. ”
What I don’t understand is why the Italian govt. doesn’t put them right back in their boats and ferry them back to Tunisia.
Or, instead of shipping them to the mainland, put them on a troop transport ship that will ship them right back to Tunisia.
Why doesn’t the Italian govt. immediate send their Coast Guard to Lampedusa and prevent any future landings?
What am I not getting here? They need to close that border.
I know Italy is corrupt, but maybe the Sicilian mafia should be asked to solve this problem. I bet they own plenty of boats. Or, perhaps they are the ones running the scam, like the Mexican cartels on our border.
Google “Kalergi Plan”. That is what you aren’t getting.
Meloni was a great right female hope who ran on stopping the invasion. She has allowed it to be massively increased instead.
Fyi, the Maffia is involved in moving the illegals. The days of their Italian or even Sicilian Patriotism are long since passed.
There is little reason to believe Marine Le Pen would be any better. She said almost nothing during the last bout of mass Muslim rioting.
And years ago, she threw her own father out of the party.
Astute observation.
Meloni said everything they wanted to hear but did nothing they needed to have done.
We have a candidate following in the same mold.
His name is Vivek, and his words fool many.
Could have just looked at her history to have guessed what was coming.
WEF, liberal activist, etc.
Vivek is the Meloni playbook for the US.
Let them hear what they want, have them see nothing.
Do you accept the reality of the Kalergi Plan?
Is it as much of a plan as it is an inevitability?
If you read other offshoot texts from the religion you hold dear, the other books, teachings, the Kabala, you would understand that other men are considered beasts. To serve.
Consider the text you believe to be yours, from a renegade, is all merely a plan to get the multitude to abandon their gods, their tradition, their culture, their understandings of nature and to accept an alien one.
With one goal
To rebuild their kingdom.
Don’t be fooled again
It’s a plan as I think you know. And pretending that’s it’s inevitable is one of the strategies. Just like your favorite: opining that Whites don’t exist to begin with.
Here you pretend to be against them, yet you do their work. Why? You’re the one who is deceived it would seem.
I do not do anyone’s work.
Which is much unlike the multitude who convinced themselves they are against, but are unknowingly working with/for, as I know they fly under the same banner of god.
I am true to my roots. My people.
As I thought. The Call of the Blood is too strong for you to resist! I alone here understand you. These others are pale shadows compared to us.
So you share the aggression of your people against us. Instead of admitting it, you project it onto me as your sage, Freud, spoke of. What’s not to like?
As always, you miss the point in its entirety because of your immovable preconceptions.
My pre-mind-virus people.
There were rich, varied, and ancient cultures throughout Europe before the expanse of Rome was exploited against it, and the people under its rule.
What happened after: decline, fall, dark ages, despair, and retreat from THIS world (for the virus promises salvation in the next)
Only escape by the daring from the confines of the mind virus brought an enlightenment centuries later.
And your people are going to give us this Renaissance? Shades of Maurice Samuels!
“What I don’t understand is why the Italian govt. doesn’t put them right back in their boats and ferry them back to Tunisia”.
My thought precisely. The mainland is where they WANTED to go!
7000 illegals descended on an island of only 6000 residents. Imagine their horror.
This is clearly an organized invasion, and you can see it in one of the videos that shows some white dude in one of the lead boats.
50 illegals showed up on Martha’s Vineyard and the wealthy denizens had them bounced back to a military barracks on the mainland within days. Barack and crew with multi-million dollar estates certainly didn’t have room for the poor “folks”.
Now there is a film out called Martha’s Vineyard v. DeSantis.
One lady who saw it said, “But DeSantis LIED to them.”
I almost said, “So what? This is not about ‘lying.’ ” But it was a social situ as a friend’s house, so I said nothing.
People still don’t get it.
This lady also said, “There are so many jobs these people could do that Americans don’t want to do, like nurse . . .”
My jaw dropped. I sure don’t want to go to the hospital and be “nursed” by someone who has zero training to be a nurse.
So, there is a long way to go to make any headway with the bubble-libs.
Read “Camp of the Saints”.
Why point out only the white liberals? They got lots of company from other colors. Grifting is an equal opportunity career path.
And it won’t be sufficient to take out “Joe Biden”. All his handlers, enablers and puppet masters will have to go, too. Plus the rest of the Biden Crime Family Syndicate. And the DNC and the RINOS.

“She is either very stupid, dangerously wicked, or insane.”
I would say a strong combination of all three. The fact that she says her whole family down to her little kids are all getting this is insane.
At least the female interviewer on the right side was easy on the eyes.
The fact that she says her whole family down to her little kids are all getting this is insane.
Maybe she’s lying, is not stupid, is big-time evil and being in bed with Satan is the very definition of insane.
I started to watch the 60 Minutes interview with the Ukrainian clown last night, but had to turn it off lest I throw my glass at the TV. Scott Pellerin was the quintessential sycophantic leftist fawning all over the parasite Zelensky.
The MSM narrative is not changing at all.
We all make errors, at least you turned it off before wasting what was probably a good glass.
Not to mention saving money on the electricity to run the TV.
Yes. It’s naive to believe a reprobate like Scott Pelley can change his stripes.
The Low-T treatment did nothing for him, save have his taylor let out some sidepleating on his oxfords
Scott was probably the biggest liar during the Russia Collusion days.
Did you notice that NO ONE in the MSM has ever apologized for Russia,Russia,Russia?
What does that mean?
Even if they did, what would that mean?
They lied to you for years, pushing the most asinine bullshit.
Why would it even matter?
Good post from Mike Yeadon again today on Telegram, particulalry the background on UNESCO:
“Planned Parenthood, an organization which Bill Gates’ father headed, was previously called the American Eugenics Society, which itself was budded off from a U.K. organization of similar name.
Both realised that the name “Eugenics” wouldn’t fly after the Nazis.
The very existence of such societies, founded by the “liberal elites” in the late nineteenth century, came about because those entitled people genuinely believed they were natural rulers and most people were a waste of food. Nice people, eh?
Many think of Aldous Huxley as sending a prescient warning. Others realise the Huxley’s were up to their waists in this evil philosophy. Julian, Aldous’ brother, was the first head of the UN environmental, societal and cultural organizations (UNESCO). They hit upon a formula whereby they could pop up anywhere and declare places “world heritage sites”, banning the little people from ever visiting them and carving out chunks of planet earth that they controlled. We never voted for the bodies pendant to the UN, such as the IPCC, WHO and others.
Make no mistake: these eugenics societies were not very well disguised fronts for justifying the exclusion and murder of those they judged undesirable.
Nothing has changed. Imagine growing up with table talk of the kind such a role implies?
Best wishes
Mike”
Just say no to population overshootists and Malthusian psychopaths.
Eugenics seems to have enjoyed quite a bit lf respectability prior to WWII. Support for eugenics turns up from time to time in books written before WWII. You can get the impression that this was the consensus view in the past and enjoyed the kind of support we now see for climate change.
I always enjoyed Helen and Scott Nearing’s books and was surprised to learn that they were eugenicists.
A day-care center owner and tenant in the same building were arrested when their drug operation led a child being fatally toxic ate by opioids. They were charged with depraved indifference murder.
Numerous health and public workers who allowed
old people be denied life-saving treatment should be charged with “depraved indifference murder.”
Q is going to have a field day with this mess
Give him a break. He’s driving.
Hey folks, this is just a “bigger/better” rendition of the “mass formation psychosis” of the Ugandan Jonestown November 18th, ’78, paired too with the Branch Davidians, ’93. Britannica supplies details. Isn’t evidence apparent enough just in the general gross obesity?
Personally I don’t buy the “mass formation” idea.
This is what happens when people are subjected relentless propaganda and threats.
First and foremost is low tolerance for ambiguity, most particularly those who additionally are wrestling with psychosis of various cause,….or low IQ, ……or low…….
Jonestown—Guyana
Thank you Dave – continents apart.
First the CIA carries out a mind control operation on a thousand people in a remote jungle.
Then they kill them. Then they carry out a mind control operation on the masses.
Is it mass formation when the masses believe them? Or just effective propaganda.
And once people have been propagandized, and part of the psy op leaches into the mainstream “Conspiracy theorist!” or “Drinking the Koolaid”, then pointing out that they were lied to is fruitless.
But I’ll present the evidence here, anyway, because I think that some people prefer to have the facts.
\://ratical.org/ratville/JFK/JohnJudge/Jonestown.html
And there is no doubt that the Branch Davidians were murdered by the government.
It’s just that the media tells people “They asked for it.” I don’t see any mass formation there.
Danny Casolaro
Gary Webb
Seth Rich
Michael Hastings
Randy Weaver—especially horrible and barbaric in the murders of his son and infant-holding mother and wife.
Just a few of the many.
One at a time, or hundreds and even thousands “overseas,” the cold-blooded nature of the perpetrators is always present and all-rationalizing. The Mission never sleeps.
How they enjoy asserting violent, terminal force against those they first set-up, or those who dare stand against their will. Or nice and slow, as in the slow rotisserie barbecue of Julian Assange on the state spit.
But their ultimate enjoyment is the largely silent public in the aftermath with each incident (murder) of our fellow Bill of Rights-‘protected’ citizens.
And in our lifetimes, it has become time-after-time-after-time.
Crrr-ickets
What’s weird is that the population understands this on some level.
They frequently speculate that RFK, Jr. might be killed, for example, or Putin.
But at the same time they predict future assassinations, they tell you that if you point out past assassinations, you are a conspiracy theorist.
I guess you can only believe in conspiracy theories of the future.
Dave – We create our own reality when thought, word and deed are in concert.
Thought is the spark that starts the creative process.
Verbalizing the thought – the word – reinforces the thought.
At that point, all that’s left to create reality is the deed.
We think a big game, we talk a big game, but we’re never in the game.
Same as it ever was – the beat (down) goes on.
I forgot to mention that Rutgers trounced Virginia Tech 35-16 this past Sat. They are now 3 and 0 to start the season.
Shtik – if and when gas gets to 15 bucks a gallon people won’t be driving to ball games any more. It won’t matter if little league games or university level games, the resources to support the ball game lifestyle will end. Not only will fuel be prohibitively expensive but so will food. At some point it won’t matter in the least who wins a ball game. The human race will then have far more important issues in front of them. Issues like where’s the diesel fuel coming from to keep the yellow school buses rolling.
Also during the long emergency people will be caring less about grammar and spelling. It just won’t matter any more. Are you ready for this?
Whoops Shik! That should have read:
“It won’t matter if it is little league games or university level games”
We will go back to having pick-up leagues play in local abandoned lots where warehouses used to stand. The ball games will be on a very small, local level, much like everything else in our future world. All the fancy bats, gloves, uniforms, and protection will also be out the window. They will use old sticks, pillows, hand stitched homemade balls, etc.
Who will weed the lots? They will have to play on toxic soil that won’t grown anything.
When mowing with machines becomes too expensive or impractical just get some goats on the property. They’ll keep it mowed and perhaps provide some goat milk or meat as a side benefit.
And that was how grass-lot ball became dirt-lot ball..
scythes.
Sand lot.
Salem’s lot.
Back when I was a child we’d sometimes play ball in suburban streets because there was so little traffic. When a car came we’d all move aside to let it go by and then we’d continue playing. There was one house on a hill that had a long and smooth driveway that we’d use to race our red wagons. You know, the sort of 4 wheeled wooden or steel wagon with the long handle in front that could move the front wheels right or left and that way you could steer the thing. We’d spend hours racing each other and sometimes wrecking. At the bottom of the hill we’d be at max speed and would run across the road into another lot before we could get stopped. If we saw a car coming during the middle of a race we’d back off and try and get the wagon stopped by dragging our feet on the pavement to try and slow it down. Sometimes this resulted in wrecks causing crying and howling and skinned knees and elbos. But that didn’t stop us until one of us almost got hit by a car doing this. Our parents had to step and curtail or manage our fun. Can’t do anything like this today at this particular spot – way too much traffic now. It was great fun while it lasted. Back in the old days children invented their own games and activities with little to no adult supervision – the good old days for children which may be returning soon!
Thank you for that excellent slice of Americana, Woody.
Where I grew up, it was the same only ball hockey (shinny) that we played in the road back in the 1970s. Someone would yell, “Car!” and all players would move to the sides (with the ball-handler carefully guarding his possession), two goalies would each pick up their net (tube metal and tattered nylon mesh) and allow the intruder to pass.
Then … “Game on!” For endless hours.
I was reading “something somewhere the other day”, and in passing it mentioned that there were 100 million fewer people back in that day. I remember that America. The 1950s. That time was when I grew up. That was “Home”.
I was watching The Godfather Part II last month, and when the movie got to the part where Michael went down to Miami to meet with Hyman Roth, Coppola was able to figure out how to portray that Miami suburb just as it was in 1955: the cars of that era, the houses, streets, everything. For me it was like “Home”. It was like looking though a magical viewer in which one could see the past just as it was.
God! I hate the 21st Century!!
@FGB3
I can remember pickup baseball, basketball and touch football games. Even whitewater camping trips. No adult supervision.
The things they let us do on our own…
Soon school will be out “forever”.
Yirgach – there is still no adult supervision – that’s part of our larger problem.
We had two brothers killed a few years ago doing that same thing, here where I live.
I can’t imagine losing two children at one time like that. Horrible.
Except I think it was a sled they were on.
Sledding! I forgot to write about that. We’ve got lots of steep hills here and after a good snow (it happens in TN) we’d be out sledding instead of in school which would be closed due to snow. We’d construct jumps near the bottom of a hill so we could get a bit of air when we got up to speed. Sled wrecks weren’t nearly so bad because there was soft snow everywhere to land or slide on. You didn’t get the road rash that happened on pavement. Cars were only a problem when we were sledding on steep streets. And we did that to. Mishaps were only painful if you hit something solid like a tree or a fire hydrant.
Q,
Does the demographic of the Rutgers football team mirror the demographic of its student body? If not, what are you rooting for?
Does the demographic of the Rutgers football team mirror the demographic of its student body? – elysian
==========
Can’t say for sure but not likely.
Probably not. The proportion of blacks on the football team is certainly greater than the demographic makeup of the student body.
Why? Not because they are black, but because they are better athletes, and the goal is to win games – on merit & performance.
Destroys the whole real racist liberals’ arguments. It’s not color folks – it’s merit & performance. Hello?
Ron,
Exactly the point. Hiring what are arguably academically unqualified students for sole reason of athletic ability should not be a goal of a University. but is, rather, a surrender to more base reasons. The uber criminal Jerry Tarkanian used to empty the jails to provide for his U of A Basketball team. This “student” subterfuge is a corruption of the system, and is culturally unhealthy for many institutions. Why doesn’t Rutgers, or other institutions hire the Green Bay Packers? The short answer is they would if they could get away with it. The more a University cheats on “recruitment” the better it’s chances of a winning season.
Go team
errata;
University of Nevada, Las Vegas…not U of A.
E – I agree with you completely. Higher education should not get diluted by sports or the academically unqualified, regardless of their on-field abilities.
“…the better it’s chances of a winning season.” ~ elysianfield
On a deeper dive, say University of Florida, my alma mater, the revenues from the football team, support all other UF athletic teams combined – making a winning season a paramount goal.
It’s a bargain with the devil, and I don’t personally agree with it, but recruiting to win, gets winning seasons, which supports other campus teams, countless other athletes & gets huge private donor support.
There were some very well-known football players in my field of study and enrolled in the classes, but they never once attended class?
Ron,
Yes, we are in agreement.
Our sins are grave and many. We are going to pay a horrible price for them. This is how the universe works. Those in the blob will pay the most, as they should, but the rest of us will not escape retribution. Life’s a bitch. Bummer.
Life is a struggle.
Consume energy or be consumed for energy.
It’s what makes the world spin round.
Granted, humanity has done an excellent job shielding many of our kind from these hard truths.
And this is what they lament most.
The loss of the shield from reality
A cold dead universe
That is one way of looking at it, 100.
A Christian, however, stares in disbelief as His word is fulfilled to a tee yet people like you somehow use that as evidence of there being no God!
It’s bad enough that elections are routinely stolen, resulting in horrible people in city halls and legislatures and governorships throughout the land. Not to mention the White House. Now not only is it impossible to get them out of office, we’ll get prosecuted for questioning the whole mess. That my friends is a dictatorship.
My blood is pure, my blood is clean.
For I did not get that damn vaccine.
And though I got sick from -19,
I’m stronger now than I’ve ever been.
How I savour the coming day
When public gallows come to stay.
Their necks will snap, their bowels filleted
Their bodies left to rot and sway.
As I’ve posted before, my little hillbilly town in frontier days had a gallows near the jailhouse. I’m sure it discouraged a lot of would-be evil doers. But for public health reasons and decorum, the bodies were taken down after the necks had snapped. Leaving them to rot and sway is what was sometimes done to pirates.
Meanwhile, by all accounts, the flood of refugees crossing the southern border has become an unstoppable torrent and an overwhelmed Border Patrol is just waving them in. It’s hard to tell if this is by design, or that the Federal government has simply lost control. Certainly the worthless legacy media isn’t asking any questions. In Chicago last weekend an estimated 1 million revelers were in the streets celebrating Mexican Independence Day; it was the Mexican National Flag as far as one could see. The US has been transformed into something that is almost unrecognizable.
As much as I hate that, I do feel schadenfreude over it happening to the Wokesters who populate Shitcago.
As a Texan who endured this crap for over 30 years while the damnyankees laughed, hooted, and ignored our pleas to seal the border I think it is only fitting that these pompous, liberal Northern cities are now having to contend with the chaos they forced on the border states.
The smartest thing governors Abbot and DeSantis ever did was to start trans-shipping the arriving illegal alien hordes to all those pious “sanctuary” cities run by brain-dead Democrats.
They had best start learning how to sing La Cucaracha up there in Illinois and New York. Soon it’ll be your State Songs.
People love to tell New Yorkers we voted for it.
Well why did Texas elect a series of governors who didn’t manage to do a thing about the border?
Federal responsibility.
There are some very compelling arguments otherwise.
“OK, if the Federal Government will not because they both are buying votes from various constituencies then it is the duty of the Governors to do so, and they have their State Guard with which to do so. Call them up and post them on the border, deputizing as many citizens as you need to and will volunteer (that’ll be “lots”) in support for observation, communications and, with their own weapons and ammunition, as provided for as the unorganized militia, to buttress said forces of The Guard.
Attempt to enter illegally and you will be denied entry.
Attempt to force your way in anyway and you will get shot.
“Oh, they’ll go get an injunction!” many say. Of course they will.
So what?
Sack up and tell them the options are either deploy the US Military and stop the entries, all of them OR YOU, AS GOVERNOR, WILL DO SO as the Constitution DEMANDS, letters on paper be damned.
May I remind you of Norton .v. Shelby County?
An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation as inoperative as though it had never been passed.
It says an unconstitutional act. It does not limit this to the legislature.
Any such injunction is invalid as it is clearly a violation of the Constitution which requires the Federal Government to stop all invasive acts.
The Constitution does not say “except if some group of people profit from it”; the requirement is absolute.”
https://market-ticker.org/cgi-mt/akcs-www?post=249676
The comments by Adams are hilarious. But, but, but, we thought we could safely virtue signal up here, and you nasty Texans would have to deal with the shit.
Smart? Politically? Sure. But it’s what they Elite wanted in any case. So it pleased them and their base. Smart indeed!
But apart from the thrill of seeing the Vineyard in a Camp of the Saints situation, this is a huge net loss for America. The infection is spreading.
“It’s hard to tell if this is by design, or that the Federal government has simply lost control”. Speaking for yourself I assume. Hell yes this is by design! You’ve never heard of George Soros and his Open Borders political program?
The two are not mutually exclusive—Soros pushing and govt losing control.
I fact, it may be a Soros aim that the govt does lose control of the situ.
Of course, if this country had balls, like Russia, or Orban’s Hungary, this would not be going on.
And if the Biden’s were not addicted to taking bribes, our border would be sealed. Taking bets on how much the cartels have paid for he privilege of controlling our border and making billions in drugs and human trafficking. My educated guess is 29=30 million $ for turning over control. Question is if the little alien, Myorkas, got any of the bribe money, or was he bribed separately along with various local officials on our Southern border? Always about the money!
Once the dollar collapses, and it will, just like in Venezuela, the
hordes will head home. The funny money they get from the Feds will
be worthless. And it will get colder as the Grand Solar Minimum
intensifies. Hasta la vista, baby.
Ah, it seems there’s another person here that knows what a Grand Solar Minimum is. All the weather weirdness we are seeing right now can be easily explained in terms of what typically happens during a GSM. The jet stream changes shape and so does the climate for a few decades. GSM’s in the past have coincided with political and social upheavals and famines – and new inventions. The bicycle came to be during the last GSM when there wasn’t enough food for both horses and humans. So the humans figured out another way to get around on two wheels instead of four hooves. This new GSM may also help push many of us back on 2 wheels instead of 4.
Good idea, Woody! I was procrastinating but you just inspired me. I am going to go for my daily bike ride right now.
“or that the Federal government has simply lost control. ”
I suspect this is it.
Like the Italian govt.
3000 mexicans on Maui.
“Is there any hope Gandalf”?
“There never was much hope. Just a fool’s hope”.
God wins.
God always bats last.
Right. He made the universe so He is always at home.
If we mess things up to the point that God is forced to intervene He won’t be showing up with a bat. He’ll be showing up instead with a big wooden plywood paddle that has a lot of holes drilled in it to make it sting. It’s the type used by school principals and coaches a century ago. He’ll pull our pants down and mercillessly roast our asses with it. Then we’ll learn some lessons we won’t forget that easily.
Ok. Which side is God on – the Russian side or “our side”.
Russia was founded a thousand years ago when Vladimir Rus got baptized in the river in Kiev. “Our side” began 250 years ago when a bunch of Boston bums and barflies got bored and decided to create riots and public disturbances. Y’all think the USA is gonna last a 1000 years?
God knows that the real war is not USA versus Russia or China. The real war is God versus Satan. That is, He will protect His flock on both sides of man’s conflicts.
The USA has apparently officially sold out to Satan and we are supporting satanic ideals and activities. Russia has a state supported church and has been officially a Christian country for around 1000 years minus the relatively brief Soviet period. And the communist takeover happened largely due to groups of outside leftist/atheist trouble makers who had been funded in the beginning by Western powers who took advantage of Russia’s weakened position right after WWI.
What if this real war of God vs.Satan that you write about expresses itself physically in a final battle between the satanic West and Christian East (Russia). And at the end of the battle the secular nations are crushed and destroyed. You might pray successfully as an individual for personal issues but if you think the Western churches can help in any way – well – that might be a delusion. I can’t speak for God but I’d guess He’ll be ignoring both satanic churches *and* their members.
Interesting. Thanks for your thoughts.
Of course, I also do not and cannot speak for our Lord. I believe that we will see the massive war (Armageddon) and then His glorious Judgement Day.
Most souls will be banished to Hell (where they belong). Some (those with their names written in His Book of Life) will inherit the earth. These (the meek) will come from all the nations of this realm.
It is our mandate to try our very best to be in the latter grouping.

Wow! I’m looking at this right now. Thanks for posting this info.
I firmly believe that it’s quite obvious that “CDC director Mandy K. Cohen”, is without a doubt, A true believer. Just look how sincere she really is. Look how peaceful her face looks…. Look how calmly she speaks. She firmly believes in every word, every syllable that she speaks…….
Next, Jim said in his truthful & Beautifully written article,
“ She is either very stupid, dangerously wicked, or insane. You decide:”
I choose “insane”, to start off with!! next, I choose, “dangerously wicked”…
Because, once again, she firmly believes in every single word, she says throughout the short video. This hard-hitting article is just one more reason why I not only subscribed to Jim over 10 years ago. Well over!! And, secondly, there’s a tremendous difference in the people that used to populate this website!!
(Thank you Jesus!! For getting rid of nearly every far-left insane person! his website used to be flat out loaded with them!! there’s one or 2 left. The difference between today and back then is this. They have, “toned” it down quite a bit, and they changed their sign in screen name!!)
Anyway, she really is clinically, firmly, INSANE. If you had her in treatment, in lets say the “McLean Hospital”, Or, next up would be Johns Hopkins, Or the, Cleveland psychiatric inpatient clinic, Or the,
Cedars-Sinai, that one of my first cousins works at as a, Nurse Practitioner in the psychiatric wing.
And you asked her several questions pertaining to her statements in the video, I can assure you the world renowned doctors of psychiatry that works in any of these places would diagnose her, as being, clinically insane. In the DSM-5,
Table 3.20-DSM-IV to DSM-5 Psychotic Disorder, in this section, they would diagnose her as being clinically insane. Next step would be, Is to diagnose her as being a danger to herself, or to the public?
Frankly, she’s a danger to the public. Because she’s been placed in a position, my cousin told me as having a position to talk to people, and a social matter to sway them into, Harming-Themselves.”
Giggling over how she chose “recommendations”. A real psycho.
She is also “very stupid”. All three apply.
Doubts. One does not rise to the position of the Director of CDC if one is “very stupid.” The “very stupid” come no where even close.
I believe that calling her “very stupid” merely underestimates our opponent. Why not just call her, “A poopy-head!” and be done with it?
I’m sure she has a three digit IQ. At the same time she is part of
the mass formation psychosis around Covid. I equate that with a
rather virulent form of stupidity.
Thus your problem. As long as you keeping thinking that your enemy is “very stupid” (while you actually know that they are not), you will continue to underestimate your adversaries.
“There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent.
– Lao Tzu
IQ is not Wisdom. And some very smart people are incredibly stupid at times.
They have to be very stupid to choose yet another tribesperson to
head the CDC. After Walensky and CEO of Pfizer Albert Bourla – all
pushing the same toxic agenda.
Like a game of Whack-a-Mole there’s always another one popping

That does not make them stupid. That makes them smart.
It isn’t that she’s stupid. There’s a war between good and evil going on. She chose evil. People don’t do that because they’re stupid, they do it because they believe in the cause of evil and expect to enjoy the worldly rewards of doing evil and relish the outcomes of evil thoughts and deeds.
You take Satan and the “fallen angels,” for example. They are not stupid. In fact, tradition credits the angels with a level of intelligence that is inconceivably beyond our own. They’re evil because that was their choice.

I see Russell Brand is under attack.
If you are a heterosexual man, and have ever had sex, you are a potential target.
Especially if you have risen to 6,000,000 followers and are straying from the approved narrative.
Well, that rules out both OG and Jarek, for different reasons stated above
You men eat your dinner, eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah
If you are a heterosexual man, and have never had sex, you are a potential target, because why do you think you can deny a nasty, ugly, fat woman her choice of mate?
Not throwaway sarcasm. Feminists have actually floated this, in sincerity.
Soul meatballs
Yes, conveniently timed testimony a la Kavanaugh and Trump.
I was just formatting a comment about this over on Shasha Stone, on Substack. “ They Finally Come for Russell Brand” here is just a taste. BTW Miss Stone, used to be, A hard-core, Leftist. With a Capital L. Once again, A Hard-Core Lefty.
She has an article out about a month ago, where she explains how and why she got red pilled. It has to do with President Trump, and the last two elections. And, like many folks on the left, she lets you know about this…
She voted for someone on the right, for the first time in the last 2 presidential elections. And she hasn’t looked back. And let me tell you this. If you go and read some of her writings, you would swear this young lady was born of Conservative Christian parents…
And that she herself has been A conservative thinking ? RINO Despising young lady, all of her young life. And furthermore, she feels towards the Republican Party, about like I do. About like millions of others like me about the Republican Party.
And She makes no bones about it when it comes to the Republican Party. We need a new party, a Conservative America 1ST Party!! The trouble with this Republican party another problem we have is good luck getting people like Lindsey Graham voted out!!
And the right one voted in… The same thing with that piece of garbage Mitch McConnell. We have friends that live in Kentucky and they agree with me and my wife. But like he says, you don’t need to try to convince him and his wife, you have to try to convince the idiots that vote for Mitch.

That did work. Thanks.
Seemed to me to be a very sober examination of a lot of the claims being made.
When someone tells you that “climate” started the fire, and then tells you that you can’t build along the water again because of “climate”, I would hope that no one would automatically believe anything that came out of that person’s mouth.
Buying stacks of blue tarps to protect me from the microwave laser..
Did you ever stop to think about who throws those laser stories out there?
Like maybe they are meant to discredit everything else the ‘theorists’ gather about the fires, or covid, or climate, or whatever?
This fire was so obviously weather-related that all talk of it having been planned is foolish to me.
Landgrabbing after the fact… that’s something else; sure.
Are you suggesting certain zealots swarming around the issue could actualy be harming the landowners’ cause (if their land is threatened)?
Nobody ever said that the 8/8 fires were not weather-related, Gus. Yes, it was a 40mph wind with 60mph gusts from Hurricane Dora (700 miles away) that day. That hardly disproves arson. You know that, right?
You were leaning towards malfeasance … until you saw the video of the wind. Then you assumed that arsonists would never work in wind!
I’m sure there was an arsonist camped out all year on the inland side of Lahaina, just waiting for that perfect windstorm to knock down some powerlines and then blow full force directly towards the water and stay blowing that direction. At the perfect moment and place, he whipped out his arson kit and got going..
____
This is the kind of thing for which very specific, hard evidence would be required to even tentatively introduce it as a possibility.
I’m sure there was an arsonist camped out all year on the inland side of Lahaina, just waiting for that perfect windstorm
Your never-ending strawmen are MQesque, One Solo.
5G warfare includes operations that obviously far exceed your little brain’s imagination.
You are right, though – an arsonist was not camped out all year waiting for the right wind. What a flippin’ moron! It’s like arguing with a child.
***
HAARP exists. DEWs exist.
While you are corrupt, Gus, you’re mainly “very stupid.” Sad but true.
Arson has always been part of the real estate game.
Whether before or after the fact.
I’m more than sure there are divisions of investment firms dedicated to jumping immediately on any natural disaster that arises.
Kind of like the roaming roofing crews after hurricanes
Yes, investor pools of liquidity, known on The Street as Vulture Funds – just waiting for an opportunity. So lazy, they won’t even make a kill – just there to pick over the carcasses.
Greece had a massive series of fires and over 80 people were arrested for arson the majority of the are climate change types or eco-terrorists.
Why is that? Surely you are not saying that there is actually no such thing as Directed Energy Weapons, are you?
If so, that would be ironic since it would be you tossing out ridiculousness and harming our credibility in our quest for the truth.
“…harming our credibility in our quest for the truth.” OG
Har har har! The self-delusion is strong around here…
I don’t know what happened on Maui, but if anyone doubts that DEWs are a thing, the UK government’s own website shows them inviting organisations to help them join in the DEW action.
gov.uk/government/news/dragonfire-laser-directed-energy-weapons
“Dragonfire will be showing a model of its new Laser Directed Energy Weapon for the first time on the Royal Navy stand at this year’s DSEI.”
That was back in 2017.
Now in 2023:
gov.uk/government/news/dasa-seeks-innovations-to-help-develop-the-first-generation-of-directed-energy-weapons
“DASA is pleased to reopen this Innovation Focus Area which aims to find novel ideas that will shine a light on the future of Directed Energy Weapons across Land, Sea and Air domains”
I’d never heard of them until Maui, but whatever happened on Maui or anywhere else, if they’re a thing in the UK, they’ve been a thing in the US for a very long time.

Well Gus, days after the fire, ” tree experts” were lamenting about the destruction and death of the historic banyon tree in Lahaina. Um, no. The tree is already sprouting new leaves a month later as I predicted. Everybody is an expert these days even if they don’t know shit from shinola. I’m surprised the tree did not burn from the inside out as death rays from space are inclined to do.
httpx://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/video/2023/09/18/rising-ashes-lahainas-beloved-banyan-tree-sprouts-new-life/
I’m surprised that it exists at all, stelmo. With glass melting [2500F] all around it, one would have expected it to ignite and burn.
Where do you keep coming up with this glass melts at 2500F BS. The experts on bitchute? Glass blowers routinely work their glass at 1700-1800F to create their art. Would the glass be molten in that state when it is so pliable? of course. You do know there are many different types of glass, right? Because your experts don’t seem to understand it at all. Some glass is worked at 1200-1300F. Those car fires easily exceeded 2000 degrees.
“I’m surprised the tree did not burn from the inside out as death rays from space are inclined to do.”
I don’t presume to know what it means, but one of the videos I watched included footage of a tree very clearly burning from the inside out.
Hmm…so, Green Alba, are you coming down on the side of the DEW theory as being more likely than not?
I’m not coming down on a side at all at this point, RO. I defer to St Elmo in terms of the physical data regarding fires generally, but I’m keeping an open mind. If I could find the video of the tree I would post it, and, if St E said ‘that’s normal for a tree burning’, I guess I’d take his word for it.
“Videos I watched included footage of a tree very clearly burning from the inside out.”
GA, obviously “they” were using the death rays from space to steal the Keebler elves homes. I saw on bitchute the elves will not be allowed to move back into their hollow trees.
Whatever, St E. I do you the courtesy of openly deferring to your specialist knowledge and you come back at me with nonsense.
If I find the video I’ll let you have the link.
Perhaps you will at least accept the validity of the gov.uk website I linked to pointing out current and aspiring future UK involvement with DEWs? I hadn’t heard of them before. Now I have – from an official government source. And, as I said, the US is way ahead of the UK in all such matters. That says nothing about Maui, but it’s a fact that needs to be acknowledged.
I know exactly what you mean, GA. One cannot have reasonable discussions with the incredulous.
stelmo does not address all of the trees in these DEWs attacks otherwise inexplicably burning from the inside out (i.e. the water was heated – exactly life in your microwave oven).
The incredulous know that DEWs don’t exist so they simply ignore facts that they do not like and build ridiculous strawmen in their stead.
GA, I watched your posted video from the tree trimmer. He had many misconceptions.
Directed energy weapons exist. Big deal. They are just highly focused beams of electromagnetic radiation. Either microwaves, lasers, or any number of other frequency’s. If they were capable of igniting the dead heartwood of trees where the moisture percentage is lowest imagine what they would do to living parts of the trees like the phloem and leaves where the moisture is highest, nevermind what would happen to any person unfortunate to be hit. I’ve read years ago that the long range radar in the nose of a fighter/interceptor jet will cook someone standing in front if the beam didn’t sweep. Here’s a quote I lifted from a warplane site.
“All aircraft with RADAR have what’s called a “squat switch” when the landing gear compresses on landing, the switch opens, killing the RADAR to prevent ground crew injuries. RADAR tech has greatly increased in the years since WW2. The original microwave ovens (marketed by Amana) were called RadarRanges. Raytheon built loads of RADAR units for fighters, and after the war, they needed something to do with them. It was known that the short wave radiation caused injury (mainly by boiling the water in organic substances, so they decided to use them to cook with. Just FYI: a cell phone uses microwaves to transmit and receive, and you’re holding that right next to your brain!”
Not a big deal? A very big deal indeed if they are using them against us.
@Gus
Nobody can find 1 family of the alleged thousands who are missing children.
Not one.
Where are these thousands of families missing children?
Pray they were wearing blue and spared by the laser beam earthquake machine, but as the list of missing has diminished to 31, I fear the worst
The most despicable thing about this tragedy is that the loathsome and craven interloper of a governor, not from a Hawaiian tribe BTW, is set to tell the UN that the disaster was brought by climate change.
Not government incompetence, not mismanagement, not ignorance or stupidity, but by CO2.
Yes, we can hope that these blue-clad children were saved from fire and beamed to a place safe from the free-roaming Satanists.
God told us that there would be many scoffers as we approach End Times, Gus … and here you are – right on time!
May God have mercy on your soul, One Solo. Otherwise, can you just imagine if those little kids’ terror (as they are made to produce andren0chr0me) was given to you to experience for all eternity?
Bull sh!t. There were 3,001 Lahaina students registered for this school year. 1,200-2,000 of those children are still missing. Plus toddlers. Plus infants.
There is a common understanding that the parents were the incinerated in the kill-zone while the missing kids and the missing school buses were the only vehicles allowed out of Lahaina past John Pelletier’s inexplicable road barricades.
[Inexplicable? Why, it was good, old-fashioned, uninvestifated American incompetence, of course.]
In your final sentence, you goof on Our Lord while building strawmen and parrot MSM. Shame on you!
***
FEMA says, “All’s well” and 100 & Gus think that people are crazy for not believing the known liars.
100, do you really think that if they did child-traffic 2,000+ of the rightful land heirs that then they’d tell you that those rightful land heirs are now missing?
One must think, 100. It is very important.
Even Ed Dowd, who lives on Maui and does not support the DEW theory, says there are many, many more missing people than the authorities are claiming. He says they’re not giving the real numbers because they don’t want riots. Ed’s a numbers guy – he doesn’t do sensationalism.
So where does Ed Dowd get HIS numbers from and why are they more reliable than the ‘official’ numbers?
I don’t think he claims any expert numbers in this case, RO. What I meant was that, in general (in his professional work and in his excess-deaths statistics), he’s a cool-headed numbers guy and doesn’t pursue sensationalism without data.
I don’t think he is claiming actual definite numbers in Lahaina, just that the numbers would appear to be much higher than the official toll suggests (including, perhaps, because children are missing from school, as OG has pointed out), and he figures that is to prevent riots against the authorities.
If lots of children are missing and their parents are still alive, it seems beyond strange to me that there aren’t huge numbers of parents already making a noise, but I don’t know how many of the missing children also have missing parents. Even ‘missing from school’ isn’t proof of much, as they kids may be with their parents, too traumatised to go to school. I don’t even know where the escaped parents are.
You are correct about Ed Dowd being a successful Wall Street analyst, GA. Successful Wall Street analysts do not “step out on the ledge.” They are methodical, data-driven and reserved. Often they choose to present their compelling “story” with data that leads their audience to their desired conclusion.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Mr Dowd would not advocate theories of DEWs being used in Lahaina without far more research and data (i.e. certainty).
That is not to say that Mr Dowd has disproven the DEWs theories but, rather, he will not “step out on that ledge” while he is uncertain (and, apparently, is not even pursuing that angle).
***
The “official numbers” keep going down while everyone knows that all those melted cars were full of people barricaded in the kill-zone. That dog don’t hunt.
***
What “noise” would you hear, GA? If I were jumping up and down in Lahaina right now – screaming and wailing – because my wife and kids are missing, how would you, in Scotland, hear my “noise”?
By ‘noise’, I meant that parents would be getting together with other parents and demonstrating in front of a town hall or a police station. Someone would film that. I would see the footage.
I saw a tree burning from the inside out, all the way from Scotland.
I remember when the US incinerated hundreds of women and children in Iraq in 1991. They were in a bomb shelter and the US dropped a bunker-busting bomb on them.
For a while I was reading the memoirs of an Iraqi woman, called Riverdance, or something like that. She was writing after the US invasion in 2003, until she fled to Syria for safety. Ironically.
Anyway, she knew a man who had sent his wife and children into that shelter to protect them. Instead, they were burned to death.
She said about him “First he lost his wife and his children. Then he lost his mind.”
The grief he felt was unbearable.
But the US still denies doing anything wrong, and the grief he felt went unnoticed by the general public.
If the Mighty Wurlitzer doesn’t play that particular propaganda song, the vast majority of people never hear it.
.aljazeera.com/features/2021/2/13/amiriyah-bombing-30-years-on-no-one-remembers-the-victims
Someone mentioned World Heritage Sites, upthread.
I was reading Moon of Alabama, and some US veteran mentioned that he had been in Vietnam, working on press releases, or something like that, during the war.
Anyway, hundreds of women and children took shelter in Hue, which was a World Heritage Site, so they believed that the US would not bomb them.
They were wrong. They US bombed the hell out of them, killing untold numbers.
He said that that was the first time he realized how completely the US was lying, because they denied doing it, when he knew from being there that it had happened.
I had never heard of it before, so I duckgo’ed it.
Wikipedia informs me that the Hue massacre was an atrocity carried out by the Viet Cong.
They killed women and children and infants, you see, because they thought they were collaborating with the Americans.
Really, dudes?
But that is how the lies spread and are believed by most people.
See: the Holodomor.
Paula – reminds me of a guy I saw being interviewed in the street in the Donbass by an independent reporter who was around a lot (Patrick something?). The guy said the residents of his building had been told by the Ukies to go to a nearby school for their safety, as their building was going to be bombed by the Russians. They stayed where they were and the school was bombed, presumably not by the Russians.
Stalin admitted he intended to kill private farmers by any means necessary.
Probably Patrick Lancaster. He still reports from Donbass.
Yes, Ukraine uses Nazi/NATO tactics also.
A more recent MoA comment went something like this:
The US wins the propaganda war, and Russia wins the real war, and they both seem happy with this arrangement.
Unfortunately, that involves civilian atrocities that can be blamed onto Russia, as part of the propaganda.
Yes, Patrick Lancaster – thanks.
“Everybody I talk to feels a gnawing tingle of dread in their livers and lights as our world tilts into the season of darkness.”
Why do so many people like to watch horror pictures? Big threatening things and images of death, chaos and destruction? Is this because this will make them a better person? Will this add to their spiritual growth? Will they personally make money off of this? Is this something of value that they can leave to their children?
No, people who frequent ‘The horror’ deliberately seek to scare the hell out of themselves. But it’s a phony scare – because they know they are not in actual danger and that when the program is over it’s back to their usual dreary lives from which they are earnestly seeking escape. In short, the horror seekers are either cowards, or they are actual sickos who get off on that kind of stuff.
The point? We are currently living on a Planet of Horrors. While we retain the beauty of a next-day sunrise and ‘Soft Kisses on a Summer’s Day’ (as Chad & Jeremy sang to us years ago).. these pleasantries obscure the cold-stone dangers that live among and within us. So why bother watching Hollywood nonsense written by underpaid striking screen writers and acted out by many underpaid and soul-selling actors hoping for their next gig?
The People of the World need to take their eyes and minds out of their hind-quarters and watch the daily horror show being provided to us by the Dark State, the Wokesters, and the Sleeping Masses who prefer to drown their sorrows by burying their minds all day in the small box of magic dancing pixels… INSTEAD OF watching and enjoying (if they like this horror stuff) a much better Horror Show in living color and in the flesh.
Escapism is fine… but that’s after the hard work is done. And We the People have a mountain of hard work to do if we are to retain any portion of a livable and somewhat free existence on Planet Earth. You put your feet up at night and watch The Box after you’ve done your work for the day instead of spending all day avoiding the work and seeing only The Escape.
We are in an existential battle for our lives. And most of us don’t even have a clue that we are. The Dark Side has done a fabulous job of draining our minds from useful thinking while providing lots of distracting ‘entertainment’ of media nonsense and large men running into each other with their heads in front of massive cheering crowds of people doing all they can to avert their eyes from horrors that surround us.
As our Host rightly points out, we are in a Season of Darkness. But the masses think that it’s just another horror show that will end at the top of the hour and then it’s back to ‘reality’. But the reality is that The Horror IS the reality.
And because The Masses don’t understand that, They are missing the greatest Horror Show that has yet been written in history.
No one in Hollywood has to manufacture horror. The Hidden Hand is doing a quite nice job of doing that all by their hidden selves.
And We the People seem to be willingly participating in this horror spectacle. And like the striking screen writers pacing up and down the streets of LA, We won’t be paid for this, either. Well, we WILL get ‘ours’ when the story reaches its climax… but it sure won’t be money.
And there just might not be a sunrise the next day, either.
“Everybody I talk to feels a gnawing tingle of dread in their livers and lights as our world tilts into the season of darkness.”
Perhaps y’all should talk to some other people too…you know, the ones who don’t see an evil conspiracy behind every door and under every rock…the ones YOU all think are insane because they don’t think DEWs were used on Maui and that Trump lost (and lost & lost again), that Jan 6th was NOT a peaceful, touristic Sunday outing, that the vaccines are a ‘bio-weapon designed to cull humanity’ to about half a billion, and…ah, fuck it. Pretty much everything that is brought up here is like cat’s puke – it gets everywhere and stinks to high heaven.
So, what keeps you coming back, Mike?
@ Mike Sherman:
Sadly, we do talk to other people. While I can’t personally say that such people among my acquaintance are dropping dead (from vaccine injuries) faster than I can talk to them, many other people report this phenomenon.
So I guess it is good that you are taking this opportunity to speak up, while you still have breath to do so.
Why does it bother you so much?
If there is zero truth being told it effects, you none.
But what if it’s all true then the world you believe you live in is very much not reality.

It’s the Reconquista happening in real time before our very eyes and neither Biden nor Harris give a S. F them both. People are entering the U.S now via trains. This is going to lead to violence at some point and, and I really do have a growing sense of dread.
Not sure if it qualifies as a reconquest.
Mexico only held control of lands in the US for around 35 years. After taking them from the Spanish.
The Spanish, who “conquered” the lands, held it for a few hundred.
Before (and during) the Spanish there were regional warring factions of Native American tribes with the largest (in US) perhaps being the horsed (thanks to the Spanish) Comanche who were quickly consolidating control.
So, if you’re insinuating that the indigenous are reconquering, besides the inconvenient mestizo factor, there is very little to no relation between the Mexican and Central/South indigenous populations with the “American” indigenous.
It’s an invasion. Nada mas
Thanks Avatar, along with Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. Oh damn, I forgot, he was a white guy, therefore “cancelled”.
I’m not sure how his story isn’t a film. I believe there is a Mexican film about him.
Even his last name is interesting, earned during the Spanish reconquista of all things
Interesting. I think the Apaches ranged into Mexico, describing them as miserable fighters: We kill the Texans with arrows and the Mexicans with rocks. Any still there?
The Aztecs are said to be related to the Utes of the Great Basin. But those are the only two connections I know about.
The Comanches drove the Apaches out of South Central plains. The Spanish wondered what had happened to them since the raids stopped.
Reconquista is how MEXICO paints it.
They talk about it endlessly.
How The US stole land and how they are going to get it back.
La Raza and La Mecha are real movements with millions of people involved.

It is almost as if the climate narrative (among others) is a giant hoax.
How can this be?
Aren’t the English more attentive to these manipulative bureaucrats?
Tony Blair, decades ago, spent a good chunk of money and time trying to get the carbon trading scheme off the ground during Carbon False Commodity 1.0
He’s still quite active, most notably in promoting virus hoaxes to get us onto those swell digital IDs and CBDCs that his Malthusian WEF and banker buddies are so desperate for.
He’s active in the ‘Tony Blair Institute for Global Change’, which he’s been running, as far as I know, since he got his payoff for the Iraq War.
Someone put together a compilation of video snippets of him getting visibly excited and bouncing in his chair as he talks about digital IDs, etc.
Similar to those videos of Gates when he talks about shooting gen.-modified organisims into kids’ arms.
Wish I could still find it. I had not paid much attention to Blair over the years, but there was ever a case to be made for a reptilian walking among us, I would think he would be a good case study.
LOL! Every time I see the word ‘Institute’ my mind automatically substitutes the word ‘grift’.
I was looking through my organization’s unreconciled purchase card statements this morning and came a cross a large amount to a nameless ‘institute’. Googled the name to see what sort of grift they were running. Sure enough, another “Leadership” outfit based in Utah, home of the famed Stephen Covey bunch. “Seven Habits,” my ass. There’s only one: Ply the Grift!

Climate has been hoax-ridden since the nineties, when a kind of real-politik environmental strategy got popular, and focused on promoting the climate narrative by any means necessary to drum up urgency for general environmental goals.
Later, the corporatocracy latched on for the renoobles grant money and the cheap “green” social cred with the kids.
The Great Reset folks also use the climate narrative as the popular-discourse stand-in for what is actually, for them, a resource-shortage, overpopulation issue—but that’s not something you can confront the public with, while climate-change is.
Climate has always been a bit of a fake, and symbolic, issue for whoever’s pushing it.
What does it signify, this issue promoted beyond its merits by different groups? That everything and everyone ever associated with pushing the climate-change narrative is a full huckster through and through?
Or would that merely be one of the more extremely simplistic assumptions one could draw..
It is because the world is ran by a pyramid. The capstone controls all. The “corporatocracy” and “[t]he Great Reset folks” are one and the same.
I don’t see anything about this at the Twitter URL.
However, there is a long analysis at Iain Davisi’s Substack, here
httpX://iaindavis.substack.com/p/sadiq-khans-ulez-propaganda
that includes these grafs:
“. . . Khan’s current Transport Strategy , in keeping with “sustainable development,” focuses in part upon “a shift from private car to public transport.” His pretensions about concern for public health are nauseating.
Preferring highly questionable scary computer models to empirical science, claiming illegitimate justification for his policies which are actually the continuation of a global agenda, Khan’s response to the real science was swift. He apparently dispatched Shirley Rodrigues, the London Mayor’s deputy for environment and energy, to apply pressure to the director of ICL’s Environmental Research Group, Prof Mark Kelly.
Rodrigues reportedly told Kelly that Khan’s office was adamant that ULEZ would “dramatically reduce air pollution,” regardless of the empirical measurements that proved otherwise. Having given ICL more than £800,000 since 2021, the funding threat from Khan’s office was well made.
“According to the Telegraph, Prof. Kelly replied to Rodrigues that he was “pursuing options internally to offset” the inconvenient science. This is presumably the “science-based and collaborative approach” that Khan holds dear as chair of C40. . . .”
The whole thing is well worth a read.
Davis also provides a good, *practical* critique of the 15-minute cities idea.
This will just create ghettos. Obviously.
Also, an interesting passage on voting/boycotting the vote.
What is the solution for homelessness?
It is not hard to imagine that 40% of the US population could be homeless in the next few years.
I suspect that the UN anticipates multiple problems, and 15-minute cities is their best solution for the homeless.
I assume that we would agree that a government has an obligation to provide a viable format for life for its citizens.
As a result of inflation, that which used to work, does no more. This is happening in real time in the US, but it has not even started to “rain”. Inflation presents an opportunity, and as bad as it might be, one should attempt to make the best of it.
“What is the solution for homelessness?”
Inject the homeless with slow-acting poison until there are more homes than people?
In the US there are 6 empty houses for every homeless person.
It’s lack of money, not lack of housing, that causes homelessness.
Not their money, obviously. Our ruling overlords have so much money they each have 6 mansions, fully staffed.
Meanwhile, just like in China, they keep building new sub-divisions that will not be sold.
GreenAlba, so depending on one’s pov, either covid or the vax will solve the problem?
If so, should we be thanking Fauci?
It would seem that it’s not either/or. The virus/vaxx combo will solve a lot of problems for TPTB, including reducing public finance liabilities.
Paula D, I am concerned that inflation coupled with government action will drive costs relating to inefficient energy structures to where they are no longer viable, and it throws the residents into a homeless situation.
In such cases, high density energy efficient structures would seem to be a viable option. And from our overlord’s pov, it might present an opportunity to condition “poor people have poor ways” to manage their life more efficiently.
My thoughts have been like Islander’s, in that they will just create ghettos. But an objective assessment, taking into consideration future changes in our lifestyle, would suggest that one should keep an open mind.

Don’t get me wrong. I have no desire to live in such an environment.
… but if the option was between homeless, and a UBI with a 15 minute “pigeon hole”, I don’t think there would be much to think about.
I also sense that these communities can accommodate people that are “wired differently” (“birds of a feather flock together”).
TB-TP, yes, I would not like to live like that either.
I can only hope that those of us who already bought their land will be grandfathered in, until we croak.
There was a time that I thought it was great fun to live in apartment buildings crowded together, especially when my kids were little, and could find other children to play with just by going outside. That beats being stuck in a suburban home with little humans that you have nothing in common with 24/7. (No wonder young mothers of today dump their newborns into daycare centers as soon as possible.)
Now I like my privacy and my space.
But my nephew lived for a year in an apartment in San Francisco in which he shared a room with 9 other men.
5 bunkbeds, $1200/month apiece. (Golly gee, why is there so much homelessness in SF?)
I thought it sounded horrible, because I pictured the bunkbeds of my youth, but then I saw an article about Japan, or somewhere, where this was pioneered.
The bunks were very luxurious, and they had wifi.
I think that kids nowadays don’t need much beyond wifi.
At least, that is the impression I get. Why have space, when your nose is always in your phone?
Models have existed for a number of years, they are just getting around to promoting them.

What began as a vision for a modern master planned neighborhood in Wilsonville nearly twenty years ago is now a unique and vibrant collection of diverse people, housing, parks, and gathering spaces.
villebois.realestate/villeboisgallery
“vibrant collection of diverse people”. Nothing unique about that – and obviously not a community in any real or organic sense.
A canned reality. Our astroturf soy greed future.
Marketing and conditioning.
The diversity they are talking about relates to occupations, but for a high degree of success, everyone needs to be on the same (groupthink) frequency.
May God have mercy on your soul, One Solo. Otherwise, can you just imagine if those little kids’ terror (as they are made to produce andren0chr0me) was given to you to experience for all eternity?
Now that’s God-fearing right there, Gus. That should make the yucks a little more serious than the sham gander that you and 100 are affording the very strange case of Lahaina 8/8.
Do you have any idea how to even try to fathom the length of eternity? In innocent terror worse than you can possibly imagine? Yuck!

Upthread you claimed that the power went out and, therefore, no water … but you pulled that out of your rear-end! This is what is so frustrating discussing this with you. You don’t seek the truth. You run cover!
The official story, released immediately, was that the water boss decried that the water had spirit and could not be released. I sh!t you not.
It is your job to be up-to-speed, participate honestly and honourably or “button it,” You have no cred after what you just did, Gus. Cred is only as good as your track record, One Solo, and you are now oh-fer. Stop pulling nuggets out of your butt as this is the most serious of business. Nuremberg-type serious.
***
Actually, you are a solid 1 on the Gullibility Litmus Test so you are hopeless on understanding how our planet is ran or how a false flag is executed. [An arsonist camping in the Maui brush! Not a sniff and wallowing in it.]
I pray that your next jab is a placebo but also admonish you and remind you that CFN expects integrity as we search for truth.
OG, again with the water. It is a fact that a municipal water system can be drawn down to zero pressure by excessive demand on the system. Any fire pump operator knows that. You must always be aware of your incoming pressures as a 0 psi or below coming into the pump will cause cavitation and could severely damage the pump. I wasn’t there but I would have to guess that the water distribution system was simply overwhelmed. I’ve seen videos of residents using garden hoses to quench the flames. They had water but they were just pissin’ in the wind. Around here plumbing code requires water heaters and outside faucets to have vacuum breaks on them to prevent contamination of the municipal supply in the event of a negative pressure condition in the system.
That may well be, stelmo, but:
1) Gus lied. He pulled a story out of his butt and presented it as fact.
2) Why did the authorities not use your reasonable explanation immediately following the 8/8 fire? Why, instead, did the Lahaina water boss announce that she did not allow the release of the needed water because it had spirit?
The official story either is the truth or it is a lie. Why are you, Gus and 100 running cover for the officials’ lies?
OG, if you have any actual evidence for why either loss of power to the pump/treatment system, or loss of water-pressure could not explain the water’s being off, you could always bring it.
That the mayor said, “the spirit has gone from the water,” or whatever, is not evidence.
Apparently you do not even understand the word “evidence,” One Solo. Of course, “Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” Of course the Lahaina water boss saying that she turned off the water is evidence! D’uh!
***
I am not the prosecuting attorney, Gus. You are not the judge. Out here in the real world (i.e. outside the courtroom), we can think and reason and advance theories that are not yet 100% proven. In fact, that is the very process of proving truth. D’uh!
***
No wonder you are a 1. You would never believe that the government conspired until the government has told you that it did, indeed, conspire. You are a sheep.
You are also a caught red-handed liar blatantly running cover for the lame official story.
Your cred is shot, Gus. Your opinions are worthless. Go get jabbed.
What is the evidence that “the water has spirit” meant “Yo, I turned the water switch off” ?
Your brain is a disordered mess.
First of all, Gus, enough with the ad homs already. It is tiresome and does nothing in proving or disproving anything vis-a-vis Lahaina. Lahaina is not about me.
Secondly, it was reported in MSM immediately after the bizarre 8/8 fire that the water boss turned off the water on account of its spirit. Therefore, it was not to be released. I’m not making it up.
You stating that the power outage caused the water to not run, however and indeed, was you making it up.
***
You are unreal. You don’t pay attention to the story and then demand evidence that I need a Time Machine to deliver to you on time.
What? I’m to post everything about everything in case you might demand evidence in the future?
Trying to have rational debate with you seems futile. Sad but true.
Here’s an article with a complete explanation of the “water shut-off” situation. The water in Lahaina was not shuot off. It lost pressure during the fire.
httpX://www.civilbeat.org/2023/08/a-state-official-refused-to-release-water-for-west-maui-fires-until-it-was-too-late/
A request for additional water from a neighboring region was initially denied, because of longstanding “water-war” supply-issues on Maui (because the bitch is overpopulated, and taro plantations suck up water). Refusals and tensions like this have been commonplace on Maui for decades.
OG, this is just one more instance of your grasp on all available information on a topic you’re loudmouthing being uselessly weak.
At first Gus said that he wasn’t surprised by whatever horror a dying civilization unleashed on its people. But by persistent questioning, OG has gotten to a deeper level. Gus does care in that he wants to be comfortable. He doesn’t like thinking about this stuff, so it’s not true.
How terrible to have the deeper part of yourself be worse than the surface, the persona and its narrative.
Nothing would surprise me if Lahaina HAD been microwaved and children abducted by globalist perverts.
There’s just no evidence here at all to support it in this case, yet anyway, and I insist on facts.
I insist on thinking about this stuff actually, and will call out absences of thought.
I have read your August 15 civil beat.org report. Not a single mention of the Lahaina water boss turning off the water because it had spirit (as reported by MSM a week earlier).
Strange that.
And where is your apology for the lie that you pulled out of your butt? See, you lied to us while covering for TPTB, have been subsequently caught red-handed doing so and now, therefore, we can’t believe anything that you say because you are a known liar.
@OG
For fuck’s sake, OG – you’re reverting super quickly to the original nutjob you displayed under that original handle. Only now, it’s not your ex and the Canadian justice system that receive your constant, nasty lambastings, but people trying to talk SENSE to you.

The Chef’s Tale, cont..
From a pretty good, long piece by Ron Unz on the blackmail factor in recent U.S. politics:
“. . . Based upon all this testimony, there seems a very real possibility that our 2008 Presidential campaign was punctuated by one or more political murders. But since our national media failed to report any of this information, neither I nor most other Americans were any the wiser, and we never learned of the devastating personal scandals that might have precipitated those lethal decisions. . . . ”

James has repeatedly stated that the Blob will get its just desserts of Justice and Vengeance, but I wonder if he overestimates the fury of the general public. I know that the sane people are furious with how Lady Liberty has been manhandled by the Blob. But is there enough anger from the muddled Middle to sweep the Blob out? Unfortunately, I see more of Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road,” (but with less travel) than a “World Made by Hand.”

Despite its pronunciation, just deserts, with one s, is the proper spelling for the phrase meaning “the punishment that one deserves.”
How ’bout dem Ruckers! Off to a 3-0 start!
It’s not enough to toe the line. You have to pick it up and tow it. No one is allowed to just stand around or just show up.
Yet in “The Road” it never was revealed what the catastrophic event was that wrecked the world. I assumed a meteorite striking earth, but it could have been something else too.
Yea BRH, I also thought a cosmic collision of some sort. No mention of radiation. Also earthquake type aftershocks which could occur if the collision was enough to mess with the crust of the earth.The crust is literally comparable to an eggshell. Magma is breaking through all over the place even now and causing earthquakes. Of course it also could have been DRFS.

WTF is MaryQueen? Don’t you all also miss her self-righteousness and virtue-signalling? Her work here is a lesson in vapidity and gaslighting. What an operator…
Proud Mary, Queen of Farts?
I miss her intelligence and the work she puts into her research.
She had her moments.
MaryQueen was a caricature of pride.
She did indeed display intelligence and provided fine research but she was also a schoolyard bully and a troll. May God bless her with wisdom.
OG, it wouldn’t be hard to characterise your treatiment of Gus as trolling and bullying.
This is a discussion forum. Whether he’s right or wrong, Gus isn’t required to pass an exam set by you, in order to not be called names.
He entered into the ring. He didn’t have to but he did. OG is beating him silly. He can leave at any point – but that is tantamount to admitting defeat.
Mary ran from me many times but was always too proud to admit defeat. Instead she would yell insults from outside the ring.
Not everyone sees discussion as a fight to the death. Sometimes it’s just a discussion, with the aim of generating light rather than heat.

And we are at war! This is not about Gus’ safe space. He comes in caught-red-handed corruptly running cover for TPTB and you’re worried that I’m not cordial enough to him (while I try to save him)?
Flip that!
Not everyone sees discussion as a fight to the death.
Those barricaded and incinerated in Lahaina – it was literally “to the death” for them.
Of course it was. But it didn’t happen on a discussion forum.
Right … but that is what we are discussing! Truth & justice is more important than is Gus’ widow feewings.
Green Alba:
OG’s style is basically that of stalker.
Surely that is obvious.
Yeah, and all the men on the street are looking at you too.

You did. Repeatedly.

100A says “They refuse to accept that a self-chosen minuscule elite will continue to live a quality of life…”
Who is “they”? You mean the governed? Trust in the power of the majority is related to believing claims of constitutional protections, freedom and democracy, just causes, ad nauseum.
Now, if by “they” you mean peer adversaries like Russia and China, then their primary focus arent particular elite lifestyles, but an entire Western media military financial system that threatens their very existence.
Either way, you can tell by different poster sentiment where they are in the 5 stages. Very few look at the situation pragmatically and conclude – like any chess master – that’s it’s completely untenable.
Try to see the world from the pov of sullivan, blinken, nuland et al. They know the USA security state lost the international fight but still controls western populations.
Believing in the magic of a saviour figure, whether Trump or Bobby jr, is truly one of the best class indicators around. No one is turning this around – it’s a failed state by every and any definition.

How do you know this? How can you possibly know this?
“How do you know this? How can you possibly know this?”
OG,
Uhhh…history?
What?
1) History is full of revolutions.
2) Even if it weren’t, are you saying that we can and will never ever experience something unless it has already happened before?
That’s silly and you are usually not a silly man, EF.
OG,
The observation stands. Revolutions aplenty, but usually accompanying war or extreme privation. And always after the outrage, it seems.
It is arguable that NOTHING will happen, in various iterations, that has never before happened in Human History.
I could be wrong, but have yet to come up with an example.
When I’m feeling very intensely American I remind myself that there are some people who spin such deceitful yarns because they actually believe or have convinced themselves that it is for the good of others that they do so. She shouldn’t have said that the vaccine was super safe. That particular emphasis in that moment gave it away. But they never hired me for marketing so. She also made it clear that mandates are very much a tool in their toolkit. Just not needed “for now”. No doubt that those in the pharma gravy train are definitely working to “protect everyone” as they desperately seek to avoid cratering profits. The ultimate question is whether or not their god is worth it.
Through the lens of deep time everything everywhere is a failed state by every and any definition
I would only like to set the standard for a successful “state” or social arrangement as “one having a duration of at least 35,000 years.”
Anyone looking for, or curious about, “the Next Human Frontier” of accomplishment? This is it.
Too mundane. Thrill seekers always rule the roost.
We’re about to see how that works out, I suppose.
You might be right that humans are “genetically” and irreversibly idiotic though.
I think there’s research out there that supports the idea that sociopaths (who might also be psychopaths) will always find their way to the top. Certainly in the west these days.
Perhaps that’s true on every possible day… or perhaps these aren’t the only days..
History has some contrary evidences.
But it’s certainly true today.
I actually dislike the modern concept of “psychopathy,” think it creates a false dichotomy between self-interest and collective interest—maybe just a pop-intellectual symptom of our disordered times.

Identifying the phenomenon does not create the phenomenon, Gus. Identifying the phenomenon is called science.
@ gustafson:
I’m also annoyed by terms like psychopathy, sociopathy, narcissism, etc. There are good people and bad people, and there are good behaviors and bad behaviors. I see no need to apply some pop-psychology label to the bad people (who do the bad things).
Nope. State is not the same as way of life or social arrangement. Many lion prides are destroyed by other lion prides. Chimp groups by stronger chimp groups. Human hunter gatherer groups by other groups – either of the same people or of a different people. Sometimes they are just driven out, sometimes genocided, sometimes genocided and eaten, perhaps keeping some of the women and children.
The State is a particularly aberrant form of human social arrangement, and fully within the category.
Human tribal competition is relatively comparable to lion-pride competition, but in both, the violence of the competition is balanced and spaced-out by slowed pace of life—in a way that is difficult for minds made frenetic by State-dwelling to appreciate, usually.
State systems are entirely different from social systems–necessarily, due to the State being anti-social in nature. A state system requires a class system, or an exploiting versus exploited class. The usual mechanism for this is the land-tenure system, in which the exploiting class owns the land–that is, “land” in the economic sense of “means of production.”
Wow! 35,000 years is a long time for a social arrangement or a culture to exist so that would be longer than anything we’ve seen. At least with modern people. The Neanderthals existed for like 200,000 years so they may have had a social arrangement or culture that existed for that long or maybe even longer than that!
I was thinking of the Australians, who were steady-state for 40k years, or New Guinea.
Some in North America had 20k-year continuity, surviving threats from various civilizational/Statist projects.
10-35k years is the range for the recent stable homo-sapien hunter-gatherer traditions, all over the globe.
Oh ok, yeah I didn’t about it but your right. The Australians and the ancient North Americans did exist for a long time prior to the more modern civilizations. Not sure about Australia, but I don’t think though that life in North America was stable. There was a lot of wars and fighting all the time. And often the tribes grew into larger regional confederations. Sort of like states but not states.
There’s no reason to think that it’s not hundreds of thousands years old, going back before Homo Sapiens, perhaps even before the Homo line itself.
It’s all a master of perspective. If you were the one running from cannibals, it wouldn’t seem balanced or ok to you.
Dreamy.
Yes. Sometimes white people get on my nerves too. I do recall from when I worked the checkout two fascinating stories from two very different people, regular customers, one a Peruvian, and one a Moroccan. Both of whom told me with apparent complete conviction that their respective cultures were founded by essentially what I can only describe as tall Nordics. The Peruvian gentleman went so far as to say the Inca were white and the Spaniard conquistadors were brown. I remember responding with a perplexed look with a simple but kinda drawn out and confused “really?” lol. I thought this all was due to some kinda colonialism adaptations but who am I to judge them right so there’s that. But the more I have read of history the more it becomes less clear as to what may have occurred really anywhere at any point. If we live in illusions about the past just think of all the illusions of the future we believe in and brace yourselves to consider the illusions that are your present.
Yes, Whites lived in the high Andes. But the Incas found them and conquered them, slaying or enslaving the men and taking the beautiful women as their brides. The Spanish said the Inca nobles were almost as fair skinned as they were.
Wow that is fascinating as I never really knew that. I wonder where the original Incas came from? I also am very curious about the Nazca Indians. They were the ones who created those massive pictograms in the Atacama Desert that can only be seen if flying above the landscape. It’s very hard to imagine how they actually did that without some sort of tech.
Oh, so I just looked the Nazca up again to be sure and actually their ancient pictograms are in the Nazca Desert, not the Atacama Desert.
