It’s hard to escape the awful feeling that Western Civ has a death wish, or to say which of its constituent nations wants to get to the graveyard first. Great Britain might be leading the pack with its Three-Card-Monte financial finagling economy and hot potato political leadership. Old Blighty sinks visibly by the day into sclerotic torpor — even while its MI-6 intel gang works overtime scheming to blow things up, to make the Russia-Ukraine mess even worse. Newly-tapped Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces the same set of quandaries that sank Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, and his country will have to call a painful general election before long to make its government legitimate. Oh, to be a fly-on-the-wall at the first meeting between Mr. Sunak and King Charles.
Germany took a wrecking bar to its own economy this summer while its people kept goose-stepping to the absurd Covid “vaccine” tyranny narrative. The German gene for obedience marches them into their third national calamity in a hundred-odd years, with hardly a peep of political objection. Yet, deep inside them lurks that age-old Teutonic libido for violence. When will that break against the feckless head-of-state Olaf Scholz, with all the charisma of a Dampfnudel?
France’s Macron called yesterday to settle the Ukraine mess “on Ukraine’s terms,” as if that palooka of a country was not about to be KO’d by the neighboring land it was induced to antagonize by the NATO mafia. Italy’s new PM Georgia Meloni promised Ukraine “her full support” over the weekend, perhaps forgetting that almost nothing supports Italy’s continued existence at First World levels of comfort and comity. Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden and the other lesser NATO players just bystand stupidly as the alliance declares war on reality and all of Europe slides toward neo-medieval cold and darkness.
Then there’s us, Crazyland, formerly known as the USA, floating the possibility of a nuclear missile exchange, as if that were any kind of workable answer to the completely unnecessary war we instigated in the crossroads of Eurasia. Now, the word is out that a 101st Airborne “Screaming Eagles” strike force is assembling in Romania, next door to Ukraine, for some supposed incursion into the war zone — where there would be a fair chance of them getting slaughtered. Are you serious, Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley, or is this just some new deranged Woke vaudeville act in your continuing effort to humiliate the US Armed Forces?
Factor in, of course, the fast-approaching midterm election, which seems to have driven the “Joe Biden” regime and its Party of Chaos into a fugue of extreme desperation as they face a possibly massive repudiation at the polls that will put them out of business for many election cycles to come — if not permanently — and bring an end to the Wokester-Jacobin freak show.
How the Democratic Party became hostage to the worst array of political ideas ever assembled remains a profound mystery. How do they persist supporting a Covid “vaccine” campaign that is now obviously false and dangerous? Is it simply an inability to acknowledge a terrible mistake? Or is it — as things seem — something darker, a deliberate effort to inflict harm on the American people? Kind of looks that way. Several states quickly and loudly opted out of “vaccine” mandates for schools since the CDC’s advisory committee’s bizarre 15 to 0 vote to include the janky mRNA shots on the childhood “schedule.”
How did “JB” & Company imagine that a wide-open border along with big cash gifts to border-jumpers was going to play with the economically sore-beset public? Who imagined that drag queens grinding their junk in children’s faces was a winning ploy? Who told them that Americans would approve of turning the FBI into a Gestapo, barging into politically-targeted households with SWAT teams before dawn? How did they forget that there is a First Amendment to the Constitution that forbids the government to interfere with freedom of speech? Who is actually behind this insanity?
These never-before-seen acts-of-war against American citizens will call for some serious ‘splainin’ after the Party of Chaos is thrashed in the election — assuming they don’t make the final and fatal misstep of pulling some excuse to cancel, postpone, or muck with their November 8 appointment with fate. One such ‘splainin’ flurry is already set, since Judge Terry Doughty of the Western Louisiana District Federal Court has ordered Anthony Fauci and a train of high-profile officials to testify under oath in a lawsuit brought jointly by Missouri AG Eric Schmitt and Louisiana AG Jeff Landry on the “JB” regime’s collusion with social media to censor news and suppress free speech.
There is also the strangely lingering matter of Special Counsel John Durham’s inquiry into the origins of the RussiaGate scandal. It’s pretty inconceivable to me that he will quit the operation after the two seemingly lame cases against attorney Michael Sussmann and Brookings errand boy Igor Danchenko — both failures to gain convictions. What Mr. Durham did accomplish in those exercises was to get a whole lot of testimony submitted as evidence (that is, on-the-record) implicating the higher ranks of the FBI and the DOJ in all that malicious and illegal nonsense — perhaps enough to bring cases against the glaringly obvious true culprits such as James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and the rest of the Crossfire Hurricane gang. Is Mr. Durham being obstructed by Merrick Garland? (If so, you can be sure the country will eventually find out.) Or does the Special Counsel have the guts to carry on somehow anyway? I think we’ll know after the election.

As predicted:
“Former Goldman Banker Rishi Sunak To Be Next UK Prime Minister”
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/former-goldman-banker-rishi-sunak-be-next-uk-prime-minister
Looks like they threw a curve ball in there to get Hunt and a few other WEFers in before well and truly aligning the UK for collapse.
People need to hit the streets in far greater numbers. This is a full-on coup.
yep, nothing more representative of British themes than an indian banker, right??? lol
Yes, a poor working class stiff who was a Fulbright Scholar at Stanford and spent time slaving at Goldman Sachs.
Real salt of the earth type.
The perfect revenge?
If you looked like Rishi Sunak, you would probably also seek revenge.
WAR is the answer. False Flag is the means embedded in the USA’s playbook. The “Screaming Eagles” are the designated sacrificial lambs. Their transport aircraft are the Roman Candles that will fall from the sky as they cross the Ukrainian border to trigger the direct engagement with the Russian army..
People are going to hit the streets in far greater numbers Night Owl when the new Stasi/Gestapo formerly known as the FBI, (Fucking Brainless Idiots) drags them out of their homes and vehicles and slams them onto the pavement before zip tying their wrists behind their backs and chucks them into the plain white vans to be disappeared forever.
Ask James Gordon Meeks how that works.
Jim is right, humanity has finally hit a mass death wish mentality and grows increasing anxious for someone to put us all out of our misery.
When the upcoming elections are history and nothing changes except that is gets progressively worse with each passing month, well the hope of the presidential election changing anything two years from now will sound as hollow as the midterm “hope” (dope) that has been hawked for two years now. Those who hold power over humanity have no mortal enemies, only friends and spectators.
+1
Exactly
So why worry?
Play the hand you were dealt.
Walk away from the intentional brain washing and see reality for what it really is.
Sage advice, I concur.
Intuitive types saw this coming years ago. They have been broadcasting it on multiple wavelengths.
Get food, get a well, get wood, etc. Spend your cash on things of value.
Then, switch off psychologically. That is about all anyone can do to get through whatever the whirlwind brings.
@ Night Owl:
Good advice at any time throughout human history. Government has always been our enemy. Positioning yourself so that it has as little impact on your life as possible has always been the best plan.
Although, while mitchellc is short of details about his strategy, he seems to think he has an angle going where our overlords are going to cut him in. Not impossible, I suppose, but I wouldn’t count on it. (Like, maybe you could get rich playing with cryptos. It’s been done, and it’s happened to some people. Pro tip: It won’t happen to you.)
That statement is a bit too absolutist for me, but I get where you are coming from.
We need government in order to have a functioning society. The problem is human nature, and the tendency for psycho and sociopaths to collude and take over.
“JB” is already starting with “the Republican policies have destroyed our economy.” Since our media and the Democrat Party are basically the same entity, we can look forward to even more peaceful disagreements between people than we’ve already had courtesy the Proud Boys and Antifa.
Italy and France have already had Goldman Sachs bankers installed.
I guess it’s the UK’s turn.
Maybe the future of western democracy is being able to chose between the candidate from Goldman and the one from JP Morgan.
Ha, ha, democracy marches on.
True, Paula. The speed of Meloni’s collapse into just another WEF puppet made Liz Truss look like Stonewall Jackson.
Night Owl: No can do, old chap! The pubs are open and there’s some big footie matches coming up.
Pretty accurate, Hereward.
This is what I’m referring to:
https://peopleofindia1868-1875photos.blogspot.com/2010/09/blog-post.html
Astute observations as always JK! I wish I had your sense of “optimism” that things will be balanced out during the upcoming elections. The Party of Chaos (and their puppeteers) will stop at nothing including rampant cheating to get what they want – which is the utter destruction of the American Experiment. It’s the lack of response from the American People every step of the way that is allowing this…we are evidently just too damn comfortable still….(sigh)
The POC has been ‘all-in’ since 2016. There is no reason to believe they aren’t still.
#FJB
Many people just don’t know. They are busy trying to live their lives, when they do listen to the news it is full of propaganda which they have no reason to doubt, and the government censors the people like Alex Berenson who were getting too successful in getting the facts out.
Too bad both the American and Canadian media along with the left-wing political leadership in both countries is acting as the official mouthpiece and censorship apparatus of the Zelensky regime and Big Pharma.
Hey, let’s face it this is the great reset. When you realize that Chinese working class are now making the equivalent of the average European you have to ask yourself where they will get their cheap labor for their manufacturing behemoth.
There is a good chance it’ll be right here in North America after we own nothing and we are real happy. Here comes manufacturing back to a town near you. A few years ahead of course.
I always thought that was what Obama meant when he talked about American workers becoming “competitive” with the Chinese.
Of course he was pushing for teenagers to go into permanent debt slavery to buy a worthless degree, but I could divine what he really meant.
Win/Win for the financial class.
Yes, American lives have become far too busy, lazy, and spoiled to allow for a government of the people to exist anymore. America has been transformed into a government by the wealthy ruling class, for themselves, at the expense of those that aren’t even given a choice between decent and corrupt candidates for office. Yes, there are a few, but not nearly enough to stop what is going to happen.
I think a lot more people sense that things are going belly up than we give credit for. However, the logical conclusions of that realisation are so terrible that most block it out with distraction and their daily routine. And who can blame them?
Reasonable people are giving the election a chance to fix things the “right way”, before resorting to drastic measures.
That’s the same story every two and four years. And yet, here we are… Elections NEVER fix anything, they just put a slightly different spin on things until people get fed up again. Meet the new boss, same as the old one.
Yes, but if the Republicans get in then the Jan 6 committee ends, and there will be at least some hearings on the corruption of the FBI, DOJ, and CDC. As bad as the Republicans are, they are still better than the Pelosi and Schumer gang. It won’t fix things but perhaps it will be incrementally better. No hope on the Ukraine war though, complete uniparty on that one. Bombs away.
Remember Obama’s promises to crack down on torture, war crimes, and shutter Guantanamo Bay?
Didn’t even take him 6 months to renege on all that and then start work on the corporate FIRE sector sponsored “Health Care” reform we’re still saddled with today. The GOP wrung their hands and shed crocodile tears publicly, even as they laughed and celebrated all the way to the bank after “reluctantly” passing a program that was straight out of their very own playbook.
The GOP will pull the same shit and any putative “corruption reform” will go right down the memory hole like it always does.
Bait and switch is as bait and switch does. Only the party labels change, the corruption remains exactly the same. And why wouldn’t it? Both parties are owned by the exact same people.
The Republicans may be incrementally better than the Pelosi, Schumer gang, but not enough to make any difference. Even Trump says we need more legal immigrants. I am a pessimist. Anyone who is optimistic about this whole state of affairs, is at best sadly mistaken or at worst an utter fool. All of our institutions be it, politics, education, religion, the military, you name it, are in deep trouble.
Jimpa,
Do you seriously believe that Mitch McConnell will allow any hearings that threaten the uni-party gravy train? No frickin’ way. The Republicans always talk big and then do absolutely nothing.
They will be disappointed. Any idea that the GOP will do anything to stop the rot is risible. A good test will be whether they will defund the new IRS jackboots on the ground. I doubt it.
Good point. Everyone in DC knows that once a program is funded and given life it NEVER, EVER goes away. To wit: the Third Reich sounding Department of Homeland Security. Just another reason to hire SWAT Team attired thugs with guns.
“Just another reason to hire SWAT Team attired thugs with guns.”
Dis,
Just a thought…do you think they have thermal scopes”
…Asking for a friend….
If by “experiment” you mean creating a “nation” out of all the peoples and cultures of the world, and letting every fool and his sister vote, then the experiment deserves to fail but there was no chance of it ever working.
And the Founding Fathers would have agreed with me.
BS: The USA and constitution are well over 230 years old and have worked quite well until the internet et al. To me that was the turning point thought it was supposed to be something else.
Once Blacks got control of the city government in Detroit, Whites fled for their lives.
Go roam the ruins – if you dare. And meditate on our collective sins and your own as well.
To anyone who thinks this is not reality name a country with Black leadership that is successful. Wikanda does not exist. They have all but destroyed South Africa in twenty years. The culture is destructive. They need more Ben Carson’s and less Ada Amin or Obama types.
The US worked until the internet?
You mean, until Americans were able to communicate directly with each other?
Until the ability of the topdown media to control the thoughts and minds of Americans with propaganda became undermined once Americans were able to talk among ourselves?
Until the complete monopoly of vertical topdown only bullshit beamed directly into each house or car was damaged by the horizontal communication allowed by social media and the internet?
Yeah, it is definitely upsetting to our overlords to have this means of communication available to the general public.
I have no optimism at all regarding the midterms. In my life, I’ve never seen an election result in anything other than to make things worse. Each new presidential administration tightens the screws more than the last one and each new congress spends more than any previous collection of morally retarded congresstwits have ever done before.
Mexican vernacular has a word for what we are about to be after this upcoming election: “jodidos”. Look it up. Mexicans have been under the thumb of their own party of chaos for decades. The democrats want to be just like Mexico’s PRI: a permanent monopoly party.
“How the Democratic Party became hostage to the worst array of political ideas ever assembled remains a profound mystery.”
Not really. Daniel Patrick Moynihan once called it the “dumbing down of America”. Little did he realize that it wasn’t only meant for the Plebs but also those in charge of the Plebs.
It took decades but Mission Accomplished.
It’s the C and D students who become government workers.
Not always. I have some family members and friends who were good students who work for state and federal government. The bigger problem is the flim-flam artists who get elected or who are appointed, and then destroy what works in order to make themselves look good. For example, the idiot Andy Cuomo, in order to look like he stood up for taxpayers against those evil public employees unions, didn’t fill openings caused by retirements and deaths. Why, he’s aces — he wants to cut government waste and save us money!
Then came Covid. Suddenly, the people who were so happy about him “cutting the fat” couldn’t get hold of anyone in government to help them, apparently for over a year in some cases. How do you feed and clothe your family when you’re dependent upon government for everything, but you can’t get the help you need when you need it? Yet we’ve all bought into the bullshit that not only does government need to be involved with everything, but that it should be the first place we go for help, and anyone who disagrees is a prepper or a QAnon adherent or an outright lunatic.
LOL. Ask any PRIVATE SECTOR nurse what happens when the “fat is cut”. There is no option of simply not responding to taxpayers (customers) and keeping your job. You double your workload, skip lunch, breaks, and also have to cover call offs in laundry, dietary, etc….none of whom are qualified to reciprocate and help cover nursing call offs. I have heard way too many school administrators chortle over what services they will cut if parents get too uppity and refuse to pass levies, and I have seen kids targeted for parental involvement not on board with the “school’s” agenda. “Government” is a myth, it is nothing but a corrupt, nepotistic, legalized mafia, and they seldom help anyone.
Trump and what he represented scared the living shit out of them, so they took the gloves off. No sign that they’re going to put them back on again anytime soon. All their chips are in now.
The flop come$ on the 8th. Do you trust the dealer?
Moynihan saw a lot of bad problems coming down the pike but wasn’t listened to. He wrote an essay entitled, Defining Deviancy Down and it has certainly come true. You can find it on the internet and along with another about the alarm bell of rising illegitimacy in the black community. He saw this, correctly, as a warning that the family was falling apart and the awful consequences for their community.
Even though he wasn’t listened to, looking back, it’s good to know we had men of his caliber in government. Who’s there now?! AOC? Pelosi? Adam Schiff? Can you imagine any of them writing scholarly papers? They would have some intern cut and paste.
the alarm bell of rising illegitimacy in the black community. – SW
===========
I’m halfway thru a novel titled Beloved by Toni Morrison. It, and she, won all kinds of awards for it. She won a Nobel in Literature.
I have to admit that my insight into how and why Blacks are so fucked up has greatly increased as a result of this novel.
I also don’t see much hope for Blacks assimilating into the dominant White culture, as if they had any intention of doing so.
“Our lives echo through eternity” was a title of a Bansky painting and everyone’s ancestors, whether they realize it or not, have an effect on their lives today. Toni Morrison is a talented writer and IMO her best book was The Bluest Eye.
I don’t know why so many things went wrong with blacks assimilating into the white culture, particularly in the last 50 years. They did have to fight discrimination but how to account for people like Thomas Sowell? He started out poor, uneducated and is a professor at Stanford and no apologist for the black community. There don’t seem to be any real leaders there but the same could be said about the rest of us too.
” There don’t seem to be any real leaders there but the same could be said about the rest of us too.”
I think the problem about leaders has a lot to do with the concept of “reality” most people have.
There is a thick fog of denial of reality that envelopes most of the nation. Its a lot like the stages of dying – right now most people are bargaining with God. They are looking for a messiah to cancel the future not someone offering blood, toil, tears, and sweat – which is all the future has on offer.
Blacks are at the tribal level socially and the stone age level technologically. They didn’t get “here” on their own power. They were forced and it doesn’t make sense to them and/or it doesn’t feel real or right to them even if they can function within in it. Anomie. Alienation. Alien nation.
@ Q. Shtik:
I read “The Bluest Eye, by Toni Morrison. The theme of the book, from cover to cover, is how badly blacks treat other blacks.
You talk about fucked up.
I was uneasy with the title and subject matter to read that book.
I did read JAZZ which was set in Harlem in the 1920s and which had some unforgettable scenes.
Also the interesting ‘Playing in the Dark” – a literary review of 19th century and early 20th century American writers in the context of an African presence.
What’s the choice beyond assimilation? The current CRT movement designed to push blacks to the center of American life is doomed to fail. And at some point EBT cards won’t work. That’s when all hell will break loose.
@ BackRowHeckler:
Speaking of trying to “push blacks to the center of American life,” my local (and very rural and almost all-white) Walmart has recently started playing audios of “conversations.” You’ll be pushing your shopping cart along looking for the pork rinds, when you hear what sounds like a rather loud conversation in the next aisle. It is usually a conversation in which two or three blacks are laughing and shuckin’ and jivin’.
Seems like the idea is to normalize blacks in the store–doing what they do.
For a couple of months, there were a number of black employees at that Walmart. TBH, they seemed like good kids–polite and industrious. But they seem to have disappeared. During that same period, it also seemed like there were a lot (for this area) of black shoppers. They also seem to have disappeared. Normally you can go to Walmart for six months and never see a black person.
This seems weird. It’s as if Walmart decided to inject a little “blackness” into an almost all-white rural American enclave. But now it’s by playing recordings of black social interactions over the PA system.
Toni Morrison’s novels are a must for everyone.
Not really.
I feel that way about Richard Stark’s “Parker” novels.
The only book I’ve read by Toni Morrison was “The Bluest Eye,” and I was frankly not impressed–but I have super-high standards when it comes to literature. For example, I like Lisa See (Dreams of Joy, Snowflower and the Secret Fan, Peony in Love). She’s good, and you can learn a lot about Chinese history from reading her books. But I still consider her just a cut above “light reading.”
I feel that a book should have an acutal plot, including an actual conflict–that is, not an “inner conflict” or neurosis–and a person actively doing something about it. One of my all time favorite books is “The Religion,” by Tim Willocks. The setting is the Great Siege of Malta. This is a book where stuff actually happens, and the main characters actually do stuff, rather than being a book about the characters’ neuroses, unaddressed character deficiencies, and people acting like assholes.
The main insight you get from reading Toni Morrison is that blacks are their own worst enemies. Family and community life in “The Bluest Eye” was horrendous. (Everyone was very poor, but the book was set in the Great Depression. My parents and grandparents had it worse, in terms of poverty.) And, no, all this bad behavior was not because there was a picture of Shirley Temple on the little girl’s cup.
One book by a black author that is one of my youngest daughter’s favorites is “Their Eyes Were Watching God.” I’d say that’s a pretty good book–and one that probably beats Toni Morrison’s.
I don’t recall the last time I read a book. There was a time in the 90’s I was interested in Black American literature and thus read Jazz and Playing in the Dark.
Agree, Anthea, that Zora Neale Hurston’s book is much better even than Morrison’s.
I remember reading Morrison like 30 years ago, and then I thought it was stellar. I do wonder now how it may have aged. But “Beloved” was impactful.
Moynihan was correct, obviously. He told LBJ that the Great Society would core out the country and destroy the black family, and LBJ went ahead with it anyway. What do you expect, though, from an adulterous bastard who liberally overused the N word?
By that time the US was slated for destruction. I vividly recall in my second grade “Weekly Reader” a small article about how in the future Americans would have to sacrifice their quality of life for the 3rd world. Even at my tender age I recognized that as total zero sum BS, and wondered who decided THAT?
The idea that LBJ destroyed the black family is a popular meme but quite simply isn’t true. The Great Society certainly accelerated national family dysfunction for most races but the fact is that blacks have ever since the Civil War had increasingly high rates of illegitimacy, divorce, separation, promiscuity and cohabitation when compared with Whites.
The truest statistical observation supporting the “LBJ destroyed black familes” claim is that as we research back in time, the closer we get to the era of black slavery, the more stable black family life becomes.
the closer we get to the era of black slavery, the more stable black family life becomes. – Kim
===========
The novel Beloved takes place before, during, and just after the Civil War. I definitely did NOT get the impression that Black family life was stable at all during this period. It seemed quite common that Blacks didn’t know for sure who their parents were.
Actually, a book called The KinderGarden of Eden by Evan Sayet explains why the Left is always on the wrong side of issues. Basically, it is because they see everything thru a lens of Oppressor and Oppressed and any group that is not up to snuff (except white people) it is because Society has not been fair in some way. It is a short read, but instructive, and there are youtube videos on it.
For that POV to achieve dominance requires people to see each others as members of a group, rather than fellow Americans.
Hence the Obamas suddeny coming out of nowhere to take over the party.
When Bill Clinto said Zero was the kind of guy who used to get their coffee, everyone was quick to call him a racist.
Up until that point Bill had been known as the first black president, and he had been so obviously comfortable with people of the black race, but all that changed in an instant where a complete unknown elbowed Bill’s wife out of the way.
That should have alerted people in the party that something was up, and maybe it did, but the trouble was they had so much compromising dirt on the old school Democrats like Pelosi, they had no choice but to walk a fine line trying to maintain their own power while serving two masters.
That nobody was a groomed and recreated CIA shill, complete with fake family, and complete propaganda machine and deep state cover and support. The Bigger the Lie………
This is how women naturally view the world, always about to play the victim card. Thus the Democrat Party is the party of women and their despicable male enablers.
And yes, most minorities naturally feel inferior and resentful to Whites so they joined up too.
For a non-victim, you sure do a lot of whining about how women have mistreated you, Jarek.
Nice, Beryl. I never said there wasn’t such a thing as real victimization. This farrago, this shaming, is a last desperate attempt to keep us on the plantation. It will fail.
And some women are victimized by men. Paranoids can have real enemies. And prostitutes can be raped.
I disagree, Beryl. You have to know women to be mistreated by them.
LOL!
Herr Cuck gets in some brownie points. He’s one of the rare good boys you sometimes hear about.
Victim of his own ridiculous fear and inferiority complex. Bet Lombardo is not even full blood white.
Victim of his own ridiculous fear and inferiority complex. Bet jarek is not even full blood white.
Where are you getting that from, white boy?
Seems you touched a nerve, Jarek, judging by the disproportionate pile on. I agree with you, and more. Women are overwhelmingly socialist, control freaks, herd animals/conforming, ignorant, risk averse (unless they want to dress like skanks and get blind drunk). Not bad qualities in the microcosm of the family, but disastrous when applied to society at large. The sad thing is, they don’t seem to realize they are being eradicated, replaced with homo sanctioned and certified “women”, and many happily hand over their babies to be chicken meat for the globohomos. A tranny child is “the new Gucci bag”, you know.
@ benr:
“Bet jarek is not even full blood white.”
I’m thinking he has an x chromosome.
No nerve touched he is just a douche painting all women as being the same.
Jarek’s attracted another psycho to join his women haters club. How cute!
Yes, the main person playing the victim card around here is Jarek.
And how.
Maybe he’d like some cheese with his whine.
Give the guy a break. He’s probably quivering in his lederhosen in his favourite beerhall.
I honestly doubt Jarek every goes out into society unless it’s to the grocery store.
No, Jarek, women do not naturally view the world as victims. Some women do but I’ve known some very whiny, entitled men.
The Democratic Party changed completely after 8 years of the Clintons. All constraints were removed from the banking/Wall Street faction and our economy went from 4% GDP in finance to 40% with awful consequences that hit the fan in 2008. I don’t know what percentage it is today.
Disastrous trade deals created the Rust Belt and opened the flood gates on the border.
The medical field got deeper and deeper into profits over patient care and the pharmaceuticals boomed.
They launched our first “NATO led” war in Serbia setting the stage for other interventions.
Restrictions in media ownership were discarded and now only a handful of corporations can broadcast — and look where we are.
And no one has been more destructive than Hillary who emphasized identity politics over unity.
Almost all women see life that way. It’s a most profound temptation even for very spiritually developed women. The vast majority don’t even see it as temptation – since that would imply they notice it arising. Rather they just assent and succumb immediately. It’s not alien. It’s who they are.
Truly spiritual cultures know about “spiritual combat” because they practice introspection. We’re far too extroverted for that. We accept everything we think and feel as valuable. Just like Black kids who are encouraged to “shout out their truth” (their nonsense) in school.
What are you even talking about, Jarek?
Lost already? What a light weight.
This is what happens to someone’s brain when they live in isolation and watch too much porn.
Have you actually ever met a woman, Jarek? Your own mum doesn’t count.
Agree.
“Almost all women”? That is total BS.
Hillary got involved in that identity politics after her husband was impeached over nothing. Yes, she was always heavily into feminism, but after 8 years of the Clintons what happened was Bill had made his peace with the Bush clan.
My impression of Hillary is one of cold calculation to advance her own agenda and exploit every opportunity that came her way. Bill should not have been impeached for his blow job (it was a witch hunt just like the Trump ones) but Hillary was quite the fair weather feminist. Bill had been flagrantly cheating on her for years but it was in her best interests to stay married.
Remember when the papers kept saying that Vince Foster was “especially close” to Hillary? What do you think that meant?
Didn’t Bill as governor of Arkansas make peace with the Bushes by opening up the Mena Airport for them to wage war on the peasants of Central America?
They used Mena to run drugs (cocaine) in and guns out of the US, and to train the terrorists of that time, the Contras.
Oliver North was running the operation, but the big guy at that time was George Bush the First.
Hillary is no feminist.
Hillary is gone. You won’t see her back, despite how intensely you (plural) suffer from your collective fever dreams.
“Bill should not have been impeached for his blow job (it was a witch hunt just like the Trump ones)”
I can only agree with the first sentiment – when Starr went looking for corruption in the Whitewater affair, he quite accidentally stumbled over the little blue dress. It was a joke.
Trump’s impeachments, particularly the second one, were entirely justified and he was fecking fortunate that the GOP held sway in the Senate and that McConnell is a spineless wimp.
Redneck and his fevered dreams of getting Orange man bad. Ignoring the steady stream of lies about Trump. I mean he was impeached on perfectly executed lies and media bombardment of said lies.
What an idiot.
The sole purpose of impeachment is to remove someone from office.
The grounds are bribery, treason or high crimes and misdemeanors.
High crimes are crimes that can only be committed by someone in high places, meaning someone having the power to commit crimes that ordinary people cannot.
It is completely idiotic to impeach someone who is not in office, without even going into the idiotic and unconstitutional grounds they used.
A high crime, for instance, would be using a billion dollar IMF loan as blackmail to protect your criminal son from prosecution.
Ordinary citizens are unable to do that. Only someone in a high position can do that, therefore it is a high crime.
What no snappy come back from the Socialist village idiot? Come on rl get with your propaganda campaign.
*I’m* the idiot?
The insurrection was indeed a high crime – in this case, treason. He was still in office when impeached the second time (January 13th, 2021) for “Incitement to Insurrection”. This was prior to the J6 Committee sorting through all his garbage actions and plots. I hope to see a criminal indictment, and soon.
As to whether impeachment would have been to simply “removed him from office”, it seems like nothing short of a small nuke at Mar-a-Lardo will achieve that highly desirable outcome. The prick just won’t go away…like a rash that irritates no matter what treatment you apply.
“Hillary is gone. ” Says the nutjob who can’t stop talking about Trump 2 years after he’s been out of office

Yes, you’re in fact an idiot.

Definition of idiot
1: a foolish or stupid person
“… Idiot that I am to wear my heart on my sleeve! …”
— George Bernard Shaw
2: a person affected with extreme intellectual disability
Yep, I looked and damn if the definition is you summed up perfectly.
I then wondered if it might have a picture of you as well.

Only an idiot would call a riot a ”high crime”.
A high crime is something that only a person in a high office can do because of the power of that office.
There were riots all through 2020 which were for more damaging and lethal.
These riots were supported and encouraged by the Democrats.
There was a limited riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6th, were served both to shut down the Constitutional process required to certify the election AND to provide endless fodder for idiots to scream about for the last 2 1/2 years.
And yeah, Mary is right. Imagine the gall of someone who never stops bitching about Trump complaining about mentioning the crimes of the Clintons.
Amazing lack of self awareness.
Only an idiot would say this 2 1/2 years after Trump left office:
“As to whether impeachment would have been to simply “removed him from office”, it seems like nothing short of a small nuke at Mar-a-Lardo will achieve that highly desirable outcome.”
“Vince Foster was “especially close” to Hillary? What do you think that meant?”
It meant Chelsea would be a lot less ugly if she had chosen him over Webb Hubbell.
@ SW:
The most certain identifying characteristic of a leftist is that they are almost, to a man, government employees/retirees. In that category i would include anyone in some heavily government-subsidized “private enterprise,” along with many of those whose income is derived from various entitlement programs.
I do have to say that I have known plenty of people who draw Social Security, Disability, welfare, and food stamps, and, among whites at least, they are literally all conservatives. Many of these poor people could very well have earned their own way in the world but were prevented from doing this by government or were impoverished by government. E.g., quite a few were bankrupted by medical costs. Some have felony convictions from possession of marijuana. Granted, some others made some serious mistakes in life, but even with them, government intrusion was probably the main factor in preventing them from bouncing back–by which I mean that there are probably tens of thousands of people, if not millions, who would start their own businesses if government didn’t doing everything possible to prevent people from doing this.
One guy I know actually did start his own business, after living in poverty (and raising a family) for decades due to a felony conviction. I think the guy is probably a genius–one of those polymaths who can do anything. He is extraordinarily skilled in his current business affairs. There are many, many people like him among society’s outcasts. Much genius thus goes to waste.
This particular guy, too, is a person of extraordinary modesty and character. My daughter even remarked on this with admiration after spending about an hour in his company. (I was helping him with some business-related computer stuff at my house.)
But I digress. My point is that many poor people on various bennies would work and contribute, if the could–that is, if government would allow them to. They are often “far right.”
Very nice, SW.
Balanced & accurate.
And the only truth Clinton ever mouthed was (via Carville):
“It’s the economy, stupid.”
But I was right there, I’m ashamed to say I voted for that artful seducer. It’s been a long struggle to clear my head after being raised in a gung-ho progressive FDR LBJ family.
Mr. Kunstler has been a help in this struggle.
I have lived in Germany for three years, am fluent in German, and regularly read their press.
JHK is absolutely correct about the current insanity that’s taken hold in Germany.
His question is appropriate: Are the Germans trying to commit suicide?
What is going on in Germany? Has something over-powered the public? What are we not seeing? – Q’, Q’s, and more Questions but no answers.
I’ve read but don’t know if it’s correct, that the Germans have been told they have natural gas reserves to last the winter so the people aren’t particularly worried.
They’d better go check for themselves.
all is not as it seems. this article asserts that 42mm m3 / day of gas is transiting the ukraine, fees paid to russia, with links to the fact as reported by reuters.
iaindavis.com/multipolar-world-order-part-4/
“Despite the slaughter going on in the Ukraine war and all sides’ refusal to unconditionally negotiate, Russia’s “state-owned” private energy corporation Gazprom has apparently settled its dispute with Ukrainian “state-owned” energy corporation Naftogaz and is pumping 42.4 million cubic meters of natural gas a day through Ukraine to Western Europe energy markets.”
the rest of the article and the series is devastating – an exposition on the multi generational effort to nwo / global totalitarianism. not a comfortable read *at all*
I can understand the sheepish volk in the street being supine, but what bugs the heck out of me is why the great Captains of German Industry are going along with policies that will bankrupt them. Why, why, why?
promises, promises, promises
and corruption of interests – bigger and bigger players becoming useful idiots.
The captains were replaced by Pirates.
I live in Germany and disagree.
Things here are a mixed bag.
The problem is that there are WEF agents running the governing coalition, and many suspect electoral fraud.
Suspicion is one thing, proof is another. Your certainty about the supposed theft of the 2020 Election in the US also lacks any proof, so you’re really just blowing smoke at this point.
Just how stupid are you? Do you make these statements thinking anyone who has seen what then cannot be unseen will be persuaded?
the movie “2000 mules” is no more than a record of facts that no court would allow to be adjudicated. every attempt to halt the 2020 fraud was dismissed on procedural or jurisdictional grounds. Do you even know what those words mean, much less imply?
alright, that was funny. who pays you to post like this? if you get a penny a word, i would let them know they’re being ripped off. would you be ok with that?
The old, “keep repeating the lie, and it becomes true”. I have tons of MSM (deep state) media consuming relatives who believe nothing not on CNN, NPR, the WSJ, NYT, etc. One sibling still insists Trump “colluded with Russia”to beat Hilldawg, even though Mueller couldn’t fabricate anything.
Never forget the cardboard.
Cartoon levels of fraud.
Oh, right. You’re beyond redemption, you’re so far down the CTNJ rabbit-hole.
The ridiculously easily debunked “2000 Mules” is now Gospel among you MAGAts, huh, along with a host of other delusional beliefs:
“The Election was Stolen!”;
“January 6th was an ordinary Tourist Visit”;
“The vaccine is a bioweapon”
“Putin is a great guy!”
“All the courts are corrupt (if I don’t like the decisions delivered)”
“Democrats eat babies”
and on and on…
Hated American – yep.
Trump’s election lie is the most stunning current example of that old Himmler trope. If you bothered to watch the testimony of all the Republican officials who told him the election wasn’t rigged but he wouldn’t let it go.
Even Bannon explained how it would play out weeks prior to the election, yet you & the twat above you (justanotherguy) and the toxic liar below (Night-Howler-Monkey) still cling to this fantasy.
oooh, struck a nerve on the organ grinder monkey libtard. more please, monkey!
@rl. You don’t need to recount the list of facts to us you deny we already know how deluded you are.
Someone call the zookeeper.
Ha. No answers, then…just ad homs. Yawn.
says the idiot who is clearly impervious to ‘inconvenient truths’
But when you don’t like the answers, you claim ad hom.
Yawn.
“Oh, to be a fly-on-the-wall at the first meeting between Mr. Sunak and King Charles.”
Mr Sunak named his hedge fund ‘Theleme’.
“Thelema (/???li?m?/) is a Western esoteric and occult social or spiritual philosophy and new religious movement founded in the early 1900s by Aleister Crowley (1875–1947).”
I think Charles and Rishi will get along just fine.

Aw the thumbs up Unicode character was reduced to a question mark. :’(
Good one. Unicode thumbs up on a keyboard..
It means “Will” in Greek I believe. Thus the greeting, Do what thou will shall be the whole of the Law. To which one responded, Love is the Law. Love under will.
St Augustine also said. Love and then do what you will – thus reversing it. His version makes more sense, at least for most. Though others have said Will is the first or dominant aspect of Divinity, we are not God….
Of course we can be the little gods of our lives, but only within strict limits.
stating “love and do what you will” is inclusive and causal, not contradictory. do one and the other is permissable.
It seems entirely possible to love evil.
We watch it daily.
true, very. but the quote was from st. augustine – pretty sure the context determines meaning in this.
Zounds!! It sure looks like it.
Hope springs eternal in the heart of our host, but I will be pleasantly surprised if Durham’s “investigation” ever catches a single big fish.
I also see no reason to be confident that the Dems will not be able to employ the same tactics to steal the midterm elections that slipped “Joe “Biden” into the Oval Office.
Nor is Dr. Mengele, er, Fauci ever likely to be brought to justice.
As a society we seem to be past any remedy for even the most egregious malfeasance. Perhaps this is what Chaos is.
I don’t think anything or anyone can break DC power. So it, the Challenge, will likely come from State Governments SG’s for whom the horror and amazement has reached a tipping point.
Or externally from Russia and China if/when DC keeps up with their shit.
Agreed, Amman. Too many people are still pinning their hopes on the GOP and Trump to wave a magic wand and turn DC back into the shining city on the hill. Not going to happen. The only hope – if there is one – are popular-backed breakaways via the states.
Hope is a good neighbor. Ideally in a self-reliant community a few time zones away from the East and West Coasts.
“Hope springs eternal in the heart of our host, but I will be pleasantly surprised if Durham’s “investigation” ever catches a single big fish.‘
If you’re fishing where there are no fish, this is the result you’ll always get.
Or in your case fishing in progressive sewers gives you a catch of worm filled turds. Surprising you are still to obtuse to understand your ideas are garbage and your beliefs are the sludge left over after the delumper phase in waste water treatment. Yes Rl no one wants the shit you serve up weekly. Bereft of a clue and beyond destructive.
Lol. You’re really pathetic, wee ben. Always dissing with such vehement rancour! Flailing about in your impotence.
Glad to be of service to your delusional ass.
We can now add actual racists to the list of descriptors.
Thank you for confirming the obvious fact when a leftist turd such as yourself runs around squealing like a pig calling people racists you are in fact projecting your own thoughts onto others.
Sorry to any actual pigs I just offended throughout the multiverse that can actually read this.

Can we humans create anything that wasn’t meant to be?
If The Creator didn’t want us to make “mistakes”, “mistakes” wouldn’t have been created.
The inevitable is hassle-free, in spite of our prejudices.
The art of living may well be learning how to seamlessly integrate with the unavoidable.
Adapt or die?
Adapt, and then die.
The (paradoxical) art of living: how to effectively occupy our waking hours doing a bunch of poorly thought-out things.
Religion won’t save us. There’s nothing to be saved, really, ’cause we aren’t lost, we’re only oblivious to what life’s all about (to kill, until one gets killed; otherwise, how could we feed ourselves and our loved ones? For the vegetarians out there: please remember that plants are living entities, and that trees don’t bear fruit all year ’round, and not in the quantities required to feed large groups – after all, Eden was intended for Adam and Eve, not for Adam, Eve and an expansive cohort of descendants.)
Religion will – eventually – give us peace of mind.
That’s enough.
Thank you for reading – have a nice week.
Well it’s not all or nothing. There are shades. Some beings are more conscious than others.
Terry Schiavo wasn’t a vegetable, but neither was she human any more. She had the consciousness of a mammal. This makes normal people very uncomfortable. So it goes.
Schiavo was human. She was a brain-injured human, but still human. Demented humans do not stop being human when they become demented. Our humanity does not depend upon our mental function/capacities. That is a Gates/Schwab/Harari argument, and a VERY slippery slope. They have decided who are worthy to live and die based on utility…to THEM, and wealth. The noxious utterings from the WEF shills reveal that THEY are the ones least worthy to decide ANYONE’S future or worth. Schiavo’s humanity exposed the LACK of humanity in those relegating her to the “better off dead” pile. How we treat these “least among us” is important.
Good points, but she was not longer in a human state. We share an evolutionary history with the animals, and she was back with them in the personal sense.
As the Kabbalah states, there is the Pillar of Mercy and the Pillar of Severity, and in between them, the inconspicuous Pillar of Wisdom. Either of the two will destroy a person or culture if clung to. The Elite have long used our obsession with the Pillar of Mercy to ruin us with mass immigration. Only Wisdom will save us at this point. Alas, it was never valued that much in Christianity even though Christ said to be as wise as serpents.
Ah, there’s the difference. In my faith, one does not revert to animal status with diminished brain function/disability. We are made in the image of God, despite suffering slings and arrows in this fallen world…although when the Mark of the Beast is demanded, that will change. There is a vast difference in caring for our disabled, and having open borders forced on us and offering unlimited freebies on whitey. As far as what is valued in Christianity, “failure to maintain the standard does not invalidate the standard”. I do agree that Christianity has been used against Christians by non-Christians who tell them what Christianity is, especially by the “taqquiya” religions/ethnicities, which Christianity is not. And at this point, nearly all churches have been infiltrated by marxists/globalists and serve satan, not Christ. Importing illegals pays well.
When Terry Schiavos usefulness was over they cast her aside and no amount of pink hair dye was going to change that fact. Odd how the left pretended to be anti war and double down in all of them now. Even more was the #metoo movement started reeling in leftist scum look how fast they were cast aside. I can’t wait to see the vile Blm and antifa movements cast aside as Wei.
Stupid tablet.
Can you deliver this sermon and juggle at the same time?
Louisiana? Five cheers to them!!!!!
Jim, excellent summary on what’s happening here and in Europe. I even had to look up the meaning of dampfnudeln – steam noodles.
Not that I’m into Eastern philosophy, but I once read the I Ching. Its operating principle is that everything changes except change itself. I’m not sure where you stand on that, but when I read your missives, I see your anger, sadness and frustration, and yes, your optimism.
I’m doubtful I will survive the coming shitstorm. Our generation is washing away by the tides of history. I’ve always embraced change, but I’ve never felt so alienated from our society. Now I now what it’s like to be locked up in an insane asylum.
We are in a well-directed horror movie. The kind where the tension slowly builds, the music is ominous, and you know that any moment something terrible is about to be sprung on us on-screen. That’s how I feel about the coming elections.
We’re pausing at the high point of the roller coaster, waiting for the plunge down the steep slope. In a thousand years, what will they say about our generation as they roast squirrels over the campfire?
Very well written, Beantownbill.

No mentioned was the fact that it was only tested on a group of specially bred, vitamin D deficient, mice, so take your vitamin D. Add a bit of zinc and quercetin starting in the fall. supplementing vitamin C never hurts, either.
Top that off with elderberry syrup and you should be good to go.
I’ve had trouble finding that. Elderberry wine seems scarce, too.
Crazy! My neighbor gave me a HUGE bag I froze and was able to make a quart of syrup from just a small amount – so I have enough for months to come. A batch of syrup lasts like 2-3 months (because the recipe has honey in it guess). I used to buy it online from iHerb.com.
There were large elderberry bushes in a section of our road that dipped down into a swampy bit.
That is the habitat they seem to like. I see some of them in growing in areas that I can’t easily access.
When the berries were ripe we would hold a cluster of berries so that they all could be crammed into your mouth at once and squooshed around until mashed enough to be swallowed. Could be messy, but who knows, maybe conferred life-long health benefits.
In German they are called Holunderbeeren. My German friend (from Schweinfurt, Franconia) told me, the tradition was to gather the blossoms, dip them in a batter, and deep-fry them. This didn’t sound too appetizing to me, but she said they were delicious, but could cause a bad stomachache.
There’s still a good lab in Cambridge making robots for policing and/or war.

A close examination of the motivations of US foreign policy leaves one in total despair. The record is clear, we fight for the profit of the rich and powerful while the flower of American manhood suffers the consequences. Juxtaposed with the promise of freedom and liberty by the true Patriots of the Revolution, the stark contrast between the Camelot we planned, and the current ruined kingdom could not be greater.
Like others here I question whether anything will change after the election….even if there is a Republican landslide. 95% of our leaders are too intoxicated with their own power and only champ at the bit to wreak their revenge on their political opponents. All the while, the fabric of society frays further….witness the radical decline of math and reading scores.
Ron Unz provides an interesting look into the parallels of the run up to WWII and the coming WWIII for those interested. Not going to post the link because other such attempts have led to the whole post being deleted…..anyway, it’s an interesting read.
If the GOPs that are elected are Deep State RINOS or convert to that shortly after election, forget any change.
If true conservatives, MAGA followers are elected and are not corrupted by DC, we might see some changes.
Watching Nancy Pelosi hand over that gavel will be sweet, but if a wimp like the last GOP speaker shows up, the election is wasted.
I watch the Dems right now, very confident and wonder what they are drinking, or smoking. Possibly they believe that due to their having just about every institution locked into the Deep State, nothing will change much. Lock in about twenty GOP RINOs in the House and nothing changes. And the idea that a 50 – 50 split in the Senate will enable Harris to be very powerful, especially with foreign treaties and the judiciary,, scary.
Trump never had the power base in the Deep State due to RINOs, putting more power to the Left and halting him in his tracks.
If the Congress changes and things get better, progress will be made. If nothing changes, mayhem will ensue, the Deep State will dig in deeper and Uniparty will ensue. Voter response will legitimately become more,
“It makes no difference who I vote for”.
Watch Tucker and Hannity talking about Blake Masters and Kari Lake in Arizona being held up as the future of true Republicanism. Masters will rip up Dems control of the Senate, and Lake is going to be a another kick ass Governor like Abbott, DeSantis or Noem.
The primary knock in the ads against Lake is that she wants to secede from the Federal government and the fear of being gimme cut off is primary. Watch, she scares the absolute shit out of the Left, especially the media. Like Trump, she plays the media, showing the public how really terrible and bias they are. She has watched the media playground, having been there for thirty years.
Kari knows exactly how to handle the media.
That’s why they treat her way worse than any other candidate. Their headlines about her are ridiculous.
“Science denier Kari Lake” or “Election denier Kari Lake” start out every headline.
Kari is a beauty, a woman to be proud of.
Right now she has no equal for poise and wit and warrior spirit.
Yes, call her an opponent a racist for not being able to laud the mediocre Latino culture.
Someone should ask Kai to thing of some good things to say about the “White community”. Watch HER hem and haw.

yes, tremendously good article, as almost all of Ron’s work.
(excepting his work on the vaccines, but everyone seems to have a blind spot)
I am sure I do too
Another highly articulate description of current situation in ‘Amerika,’ but with a good deal of optimism in the court system and elections. I hope JHK is correct in his predictions, but I fear that corruption in the courts and the voting system is too far entrenched, and too many of those in power are paid off massively, to allow any semblance of justice or fairness. I just keep thinking about Mark Twain’s famous statement, that ‘if voting mattered, THEY wouldn’t let us do it.’ Hope Twain turns out wrong on this one. We’ll know soon.
I hope the Republicans win the Senate so Fauci can be investigated under oath.
The Republicans will not do anything to Fauci. They are part of the uni-party. Nothing will change. At least not for the better. They let the stolen election happen and they have done nothing about the Covid mess. Trump himself is still pushing the vaccine. There should be hundreds if not thousands charged with treason and doing time behind bars. Even better would be firing squads.
A Republican put Fauxi where he is.
We’ll never see Fauci or Birx behind bars or even their lavish pensions revoked. I am just hoping that under oath, confronted with the facts, they will have to admit they “mislead the public.” That’s about all we’ll get but an added bonus might be that the covid vaccine is removed (or not enforced) from recommended childhood vaccines.
Please he has been a good minion the democrats won’t allow him to be prosecuted.
” but I fear that corruption in the courts and the voting system is too far entrenched…”
Doc,
Even were it not, we have two, possibly three generations lost to “our” culture. It will not get better because it cannot get better.
Exactly elysianfield, “our” culture is rotten and has been for a long time. I agree, it cannot get better. There aren’t enough people with balls to do it.

There is little hope for America until people can see that you eat at McDonald’s. If they can’t see something as simple as that, how can they see through denser fields of obscuration?
My McDonald’s is under construction. No one can eat there.
Btw, I just learned that “pumpkin creme cold brew” exists. Aieee!
I guess people got sensitive about pumpkin spice.
You are coming closer to a full admission. Perhaps there is hope…..
It’s quite remarkable the extent to which people will go in the attempt to prove that Pumpkins are a source of food.
@ Bilejones:
As a soapmaker, i’ve long been surprised and puzzled by all the people who want to make pumpkin-spice scented soaps at this time of year. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to smell like pumpkin.
There does seem to be a certain mania among soapmakers for dumping food items into soap. One of the most popular is oatmeal-milk-and-honey, which is a fragrance oil offered by many suppliers. It smells like Play Doh. Absolutely disgusting fragrance.
So Pumpkin pie is a lie?
People used to think that tomatoes were deadly poison too. And indeed, don’t eat the leaves. Most things aren’t good to eat!
Pumpkin pie filling is actually made with sqash, since there are varieties of squash that are far sweeter and tastier. Pumpkin doesn’t really cut it. My personal favorite is the Kabocha squash. If you keep an eye out you can probably find some at this time of year. The Black Futsu squash is also supposed to be very good, but I’ve never been able to find any.
Sweet potato pie is quite good, my black friends would insist it was better than pumpkin.
I made a squash pie once. Not bad. Hard to wreck it.
My wife just made a pumpkin pudding. Yes, from an actual pumpkin. It was quite tasty.
I can’t tell you how much I love Pumpkin Pie, topped with whipped cream.
It’s poison, I tell you it’s poison!
As long as one keeps insisting they have agency, they will never understand the truth of the matter and continue to be disappointed, angry and or depressed.
If you had a clear objective perspective, it would be apparent that nations are simply manageable political units designed for maximum effective control
Like an ant farm, the managers need only feed, water and supply. But what if the farm needs a reset or cleaning, a different approach to maintain the entertainment?
But what’s happening inside the cage? Do the ants persist in attempting to manage their affairs? After all, in each colony they were told they were special, had a glorious history and promising future.
Why can’t they collectively address the issues of overshoot, depletion and degradation? What’s going on in the great outside where their ant cousins live relatively free and are harassing the owners in their very homes?

Bottom line for posters with the supercilious Mitch attitude is impeccable grammar.
I’ve been listening to the radio a bit more lately, and listening to the stations that skew younger, which is a change for me.
What they have now on those stations is mostly what we used to call Muzak, just a newer version of it.
The Auto-tune vocals predominate. This too me is an updated version of the Milli Vanilli scandal. There have always been singers who have been no great shakes, but they sang the words to some great pop tunes.
Then there were the singers who sang their own compositions, and they could be pretty bad and nobody cared.
You had singers who were so-so but great performers.
Some could go off pitch but had beautiful voices otherwise, that people loved to hear. Kenny Rogers comes to mind.
What’s different now is we have throwaway overproduced crap “sung” by people who may or may not be able to even carry a tune, but they fit the right demographic.
Kind of like Milli Vanilla looked cute in the videos where they didn’t even sing.
Anyway, because I’m going were the young people tend to be listening, I’m hearing what they hear, and the patter from the DJs (who aren’t really DJs because they aren’t there in the studio) is making light of things like inflation.
They have call-in contests to win money because “inflation”, like it’s just this phenomenon we are all in together, aren’t we having fun?
Then there is the vaccine propaganda in the ads. Ads telling you that you should get a shot don’t have the same requirement that actual ads for a particular vaccine would have, in that they would have to list side effects.
This is how they get around that.
So, the “music” is propagnda in itself, because the artists can’t really be called artists because artists have skill and talent, you have the DJS doing political commentary in disguise, and you have the PSAs or whatever they are pushing the Vaxx hot anfd heavy. And that’s before the news even comes on.
It’s as if there never where any revelations about the shots at all.
Yes, commercial radio is pretty much dead. The ad revenue just isn’t there, and the DJs you cite are making minimum wage — that’s if they aren’t interns working for free.
Try listening to a few hours of NPR, if you can stand it. Last week I tuned in on the car radio to a long interview of a lesbian married couple setting up household in Brooklyn — the color curtains they those, how they decorated their bedroom, their eclectic, welcoming neighborhood … the interview interspersed with insider LBGQT jokes — intriguing stuff. I know, why didn’t I change the station? Not sure. Too lazy, curious as to where the story was going, astonished at the banality of it etc.
The Nazis did this too!
“In Nazi Germany, a chief role of culture was to disseminate the Nazi world view. One of the first tasks Nazi leaders undertook upon their ascension to power in early 1933 was a synchronization (Gleichschaltung) of all professional and social organizations with Nazi ideology and policy. The arts and cultural organizations were not exempt from this effort. Joseph Goebbels, the Minister for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda, immediately strove to bring the artistic and cultural communities in line with Nazi goals. The government purged cultural organizations of Jews and others alleged to be politically or artistically suspect.”
Christian Europe did it too! Get ready for it: All Cultures do it. If you don’t get people on the same page, you don’t have a Culture.
Of course there are high cultures and low cultures. And growing cultures and dying cultures. And fake cultures. Ours is dying culture using the past as a crutch. Lots of fakery too. Nazi Germany was a new and growing culture.
What about the Teutonic gene for violence? Well all people have it. If you lose touch with it, you are quickly ended by your neighbors who have no.
The gene for violence is called fear. You kill what scares you, after you’ve had too much. Some people kill themselves, not knowing this.
Did you ever hunt rabbits? Where you scared?
Please reconsider. You don’t know yourself I’m afraid.
But yes, fear and violence are related. A frightened animal is dangerous. Whites need to become good animals again. Many Whites just caught in the “freeze” and allow themselves to be brutalized.
Fight or flight. Freeze is legitimate in some cases. To get along in school, jobs, and relationships, people get used to passivity or freeze – and use it even when it utterly inappropriate.
“You don’t know yourself I’m afraid.”
No need for fear, all will be revealed.
Not all cultures do it politically from the top down, and in such an organized way.
True. The Nazi movement was a desperate attempt to save Germany from the alien force of the proto-New World Order. When can only speculate what it could have become if it had been over to fend it off.
The United States is the belly of that beast. No such heroic effort is likely to be seen here. People can’t even understand that “Capitalism” is the enemy at this point.
correction: able to fend it off
Killing the Jewish population was ‘fighting the new world order”?
Sure, Jan.
Down shit’s creek sans paddle going towards the falls, Mary emits soundbites that edge towards screams.
So Jarek, how many times have you been unable to secure a loan because you mentioned to the loan officer, “Ya know, the world would’ve been so much better off if the Nazis had killed ALL the Jews, not just six million of them”?
You DO realize Jesus was crucified as a sacrifice in order to pay for all the sins of all non-God beings, and not as some Jewish plot to dominate the world, right? If not, you may want to consult with clergy.
one day, the germans just went crazy, for no reason that anyone wants to know.
is asking ‘what made the germans so crazy’ off limits?
Bob: And who crucified him again? Get a loan? Are you implying that Jews control the financial system. What a character!
But yes, no I wouldn’t tell him. I keep secrets from Dentists and Doctors too!
Oh and have they repented for doing that, Bob? Or as Maimondides said, Was it a good deed?
Who crucified Jesus well that’s easy the Romans did to pacify the Jews of course. They could have said no but did not.
” Christian Europe did it too…”
Jarek,
As did the land of 1000 Buddas….
Bittersweet.
The Remnant, a traditional Catholic paper, always has many interesting things to say. About how many Missionaries were able to enter Tibet and how few ever returned. The Tibetan monks had (have?) a process whereby they can leave monkhood for awhile, kill, and then rejoin.
They didn’t have much of an army, but they were quite serious about protecting their culture.
Another tidbit, one of the Popes corresponded with Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy. He agreed that Yankee Capitalism was a new and great evil that threatened the entire world. How right he was.
Jefferson Davis corresponded with Oscar Wilde as well, two Rebels on opposite side of the Atlantic.
Jefferson Davis also adopted an orphaned slave boy as his son.
Northeastern bankers coerced Lincoln into opposing secession because they risked financial ruin because the slaves, being collateral for millions of dollars of loans, were no longer within United States territory. His first attempt at reconciliation, for example his comments about saving the Union by not freeing slaves, failed because southerners didnt trust him. So, using the logic of “what’s 750,000 lives and multiple violations of the US Constitution when the economy races ruin?”, the South was maneuvered into war via the Star of the West episode and the bombardment of Fort Sumter.
i really like this line of recounting.
remember andrew jackson’s second campaign slogan?
“bank and no jackson, or jackson and no bank”
his battles, fought and won, against the tool nicholas biddle, are the stuff of legend. i’m surprised they haven’t torn down the protrait on twenty dollar bills.
or from kennedy halves, for that matter…
Andy wouldn’t shake hands with Blacks either. This place was for us – period. No fucking around. Want to create a nation without fanaticism? Go back to sleep. Don’t even bother, losers.
Vlad, one story from Bali intrigued me.
During the Dutch colonial era. the Catholic Church sent a missionary who lived, if I am not mistaken, in Singaraja, a cosmopolitan city on the north coast.
After many years of effort, this priest had managed to convert precisely one Balinese to Catholicism, requiring him not only to renounce his Hindu heritage but also to become an outcast from the tight society of his banjar (village social matrix).
In the event, that convert proceeded to murder the priest.
In contemporary programmed thought, we would jump to “he priest abused the fellow and he reacted, with shame and rage” but there is no evidence whatsoever to support that conclusion.
It is likely that the Balinese felt shock, bewilderment and deep buyer’s remorse at having been forced to shun his social upbringing.
From that point onward, the Church was careful to send out priests at least two at a time, hoping they would be able to cover for one another.
IDK, we have always had a lot of artists who were counter to the prevailing culture, that is, until the second decade or so of this century.
The old, talented “stars” are being replaced with generic ones who fit the right worldview. Talent itself is passe, it is politically incorrect.
No I can’t do accent marks.
Yes, they helped to overthrow the old United Sates. Was that good or bad? I thought you thought it was bad?
Now do you see why art is regulated by healthy States? You can’t have it both ways.

I do believe the Dada movement grew in direct defiance of this.
They said Clint Eastwood with that chair was Dadaism.
It went over my head.
Marcel Du Champ shitting in a jar was Dadaism too.
Mary that wasn’t Duchamp.
when one knows not anything at all, there is always the internet.
Also, not considered Dada and many many years later.
“Artist’s Shit (Italian: Merda d’artista) is a 1961 artwork by the Italian artist Piero Manzoni. The work consists of 90 tin cans, each reportedly filled with 30 grams (1.1 oz) of faeces, and measuring 4.8 by 6.5 centimetres (1.9 in × 2.6 in), with a label in Italian, English, French, and German stating: Artist’s Shit Contents 30 gr net Freshly preserved Produced and tinned in May 1961.

You may remember from “Stranger in a Strange Land,” that Valentine Michael Smith and Gillian decide to join a carnival. They travel around and meet interesting people.
But since I just had a load of firewood delivered today, I am thinking that Jarek should hire on cutting and splitting wood. Maybe some tree work of the kind that’s higher off the ground too. Nothing like scampering around the treetops while holding a chainsaw to focus the mind.

From Wikipedia:
“Dada (/?d??d??/) or Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century, with early centres in Zürich, Switzerland, at the Cabaret Voltaire (in 1916). New York Dada began c. 1915,[2][3] and after 1920 Dada flourished in Paris. Dadaist activities lasted until the mid 1920s. ”
I thought it was a reaction to the insanity of the Great War. Is there an art movement in reaction to our current world insanity?
“Is there an art movement in reaction to our current world insanity?”
not permitted. its post modernism until it puts the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again.
after the lotion, and the tiring pretense of postmodernism, the bricks at the back of the theater, and the details on the sole of the boot 1/4″ from one’s eye.

You are right: It was a product of the build-up to WWI not WWII.
Jo-G:
Your comment brings to mind our host’s acute observation that we are inundated with “junk culture” and “junk art”.
I would definitely put the Andrew Warhola oeuvre into that circular file. He was a fashion magazine illustrator whose fashion magazine illustrations, silk-screened by an employee, are now selling for 9 figures. Go figure.
Beryl, I no longer think that any revelation, no matter how stunning or where it comes from, will have any effect whatsoever. It’s invariably as if said narrative-shattering revelation never occurred. Is there some critical mass that hasn’t yet been reached? Or is all actual manifest truth just immediately sucked into a black hole where it’s compressed into an infinitely tiny point?
I don’t know the answer, but clearly no amount of additional information matters. There is a breaking point though, and I suspect it will be brought about not by any sort of information but by physical realities like cold, hunger, uncontrolled and uncontrollable crime.
europe might be closer to cold and hungry, but it looks like the tptb have quietly turned on the gas pipe over ukraine.
which is just amazing, no matter what the narrative currently making the rounds.
Just: not so far. The autumn is mild and the shop shelves are full. Check back next January.
this one merits an eye on now and until something emerges. the potential for cold and hungry and the actuality of it, and the reaction are first order events.
the gas, at a rate of 42mm m3/day flowing agreeably from russia over ukraine is notable. in fact, its a mind f**k in any current narrative context.
@guy
That is quite hilarious, it’s like the final irony. So will Russia have to bomb their own pipeline to bring EU/NATO/UKR to surrender.
can there be such a subtle plan that not one detail in isolation or with any others rationally associated make sense?
belief in the midst of this is unnecessary. this is the evil of chaos, the intentional creation of crisis unbounded, with intention proceeding thru a maze in apparently random fashion, confusing any attempt to confront it.

“How the Democratic Party became hostage to the worst array of political ideas ever assembled remains a profound mystery.”
Not to those who noted the centenary of Women’s suffrage.
All that obnoxious feminism is going to go the way of the dinosaur if times get really tough. All those strong women out there who don’t need no man might suddenly find men a necessary commodity to provide for and protect them and their children, and there will be children, if birth control becomes unavailable and abortions risky again. It’s going to take a team effort to get through it, if things go really bad, and a long, long time to recover, if we ever do (certainly not within the life spans of those now living). Will all those metrosexual soy bois step up to the plate?
We don’t need “a man” if we have a community of men and women that all contribute what they can.
Thanks.
Such communities might be few and far between. What if such a burden can’t be afforded?
They’re going to be formed by necessity. Just like in feudal times.
Yes, of course, they always do, eventually, but I saw a video some years back, a film of a hunter/gatherer tribe in the Amazon. A woman lost her husband in an accident, and that night she was yelling at one of her sons because earlier in the day he had eaten everything in the hut. She had nothing to feed her children, and not one of her neighbors brought her anything. Her children went to bed hungry that night.
from each according to thir ability, to each according to hir need.
you really hit that one out of the park, kuqweeeeen
and why would any man agree to defend a community that saw him as nothing but a slave and cannon fodder?
I guess you don’t know what a community is.
That’s OK, neither does Jarek.
Jarek thinks if I share a half of my sandwich with someone that makes me a commie.
You think if people share work (as people do every day everywhere – I mean normal people not the porn basement dwellers like you & Jarek) then they are socialists and commies.
Hilarious. Imagine what you could learn living in the real world.
Communities have always been formed by groups of people who have meaningful relationships with each other: strong friendships and strong family ties.
I guess some people have never experienced this and find it incomprehensible.
Presumably, justanotherguy has no expectation that friends or family would take care of him if he fell seriously ill–or that anyone would bring him a bowl of chicken soup and a couple of aspirin if he had a cold. (Perhaps he feels that sick people should only get whatever care they are able to pay for.)
It seems there are people who are actually ideologically opposed to doing anything for anyone else, or even acknowledging that they have obligations to others. The chief example of this is men who won’t provide for their children. ‘Cause that would be Communism.
sure, play reducto ad absurd-um. everthing you assert is an anachronism in the days when collapse results in the often observed rise of local warlords.
i suppose you think some amazons are going to come by to defend?
my family is my first community, of which i am the leader, which i take as my responsibility. the partnership between my wife and i is the foundation of our family, with four children, who understand all this. we have neighbors similarly situated. we all live in an area where the vast majority are of like mind, by intention. we are all capable of defending ourselves, and are constantly lending one another a hand.
and this is what you describe? i think not.
and, by the way, troll away, you disingenuous petty sophist.
the question i posed “and why would any man agree to defend a community that saw him as nothing but a slave and cannon fodder?” was perfectly reasonable in the context you describe, but you never answer anything critical sincerely.
here again on public display.
ant – reading what you’ve written, i perceived you above straw man attacks.
disappointing, but at least i have seen you engage in critical debates in good will.
but feminism, circle the troops and attack any criticism, just or not.
avoiding rational debate and criticism will not repair the damage is feminism is held to be sacrocanct.
it is far from it, and you might as well get used to it.
Justaguy – that is exactly what I’m describing.
But your’e so full of hate for everything I post, that you jumped to your stupid conclusions (as usual).
I pity your wife. JFC, what she must have to deal with.
i don’t hate you, you sad little cat lady.
i hate your destructive world view, of which you are the thankful victim and loving it, stockholm syndrome style. its a shame you take that crap so seriously, are so positively identified with it, that every criticism of feminism you hear is perceived as a personal attack, returned in kind.
i bet you aren’t even a cool wine aunt, because you don’t seem to be intelligent enough to do more than occasionally agree, albeit sometimes sensibly, or otherwise engage in silly bickering without a hint of self awareness or even basic rhetorical ability with reasoned points of view.
no, i cannot hate you, which would be unlikely even in the unlikely event that we should meet.
i pity you.
Just: I don’t know how often you tune in, but Anthea has said in so many words that women divorcing men at the rate of 70% of the divorces is akin to calling the police on prowlers. In other words, the husbands are the criminals not the wife oath breakers.
More: In her America, father would have no official rights. If the oath breaker doesn’t want him to see the kids, he doesn’t get to see the kids. Yet she blithely thinks she’s a traditional American – even believing in small government. Who is going to throw the husband out of his own home? Who is going stop him from seeing his own kids? A vast and hostile court system and divorce industry, backed up by all the powers of a police state.
And the kicker: She likes to compare healthy, vibrant Hispanic families with the largely dysfunctional White ones. There might well be some truth to this – but if so it’s because they haven’t fallen into all this yet and still adhere to the Patriarchal model.
if she wants to make any of those points, i am always interested to hear and understand and test ideas.
i don’t need any suggestions on anyone’s character or perspectives or actions when they are willing to offer it themselves.
especially from you – where i come from, we call guys like you “shit stirrers”. it is sometimes useful, or amusing, but much more so irl, face to face.
you are clearly smart and somewhat well informed, but you don’t seem to care about being so offputting that you really don’t stand much of a chance to be pursuasive.
maybe you need to get out more.

It’s truly amazing how you can be so awake on the feminist issue, yet totally asleep on the racial issue. Unless you are Black of course, in which case no awakening can ever be expected. Nor would I ever expect you to put us before yourselves the way demented Whites put Blacks ahead of their own flesh and blood.
Men’s rights, White rights, Bill of Rights – they are not three separate things. They form a tripod, the failing of any one and the others fall.
you may claim anything you please, but any racial issue within my scope of concern will be discussed by me at the time and place of my choosing. that place is not here, not for you, not at your superficial level, not with your know it all imperiousness to nuance.
why don’t you start with “Reckoning with Race: America’s Failure” Dattel, Gene
adding:
watch the vid linked above – i think the whispers are for you.
@ Jarek:
You have a very poor memory. Perhaps a decline in cognitive functioning. Or maybe the cognitive functioning was imperfect to begin with.
You stated some time ago that women initiate 70% (?) of divorce proceedings. You apparently thought that this was proof that women were “causing” the high divorce rate. I pointed out that landlords initiate 100% of eviction proceedings. This is not generally viewed as proof that the landlord is at fault. You also implied that women were at fault for “involving the courts,” thus implying that there is something inherently evil about seeking redress through the courts–as presumably in the case of landlords with deadbeat tenants, or tenants who are drug dealers or who are tearing the place up.
Women file for divorce for the same reason that landlords do, or for the same reason that people file civil suits. E.g., if you pay a company for a product or service and they do not deliver, or if the product or service is faulty or dangerous or has caused you an injury, you will likely file a lawsuit and “involve the courts.” The party that files the lawsuit will invariably be the aggrieved party, and not the other way around. It is not very likely that a deadbeat tenant will go to court to get themselves evicted.
The arfument that “initiating court proceedings” (usually done by women) indicates that women initiate most divorces is likewise disingenuous. What “initiates a divorce” is the misconduct, dissolute behavior, or irresponsibility of one or the other party. Divorce is “initiated” by adultery, non-support, domestic violence, child abuse, drunkenness, drug abuse, etc. In most cases, divorce is initiated by men. Hence women will in most cases initiate court proceedings.
Re the matter of father’s not being allowed contact with the children, um, duh. Should a father who has a history of domestic violence, drunkenness, drug abuse, non-support, adultery, etc., be allowed contact with children?
But to return to the aforementioned cognitive functioning issue: Most women are quite familiar with male deficits in cognitive functioning and the endless refrain that, “I didn’t do that,” and “I didn’t say that,” and “I don’t recall that.” Women are often puzzled by this: “Is this guy a pathological liar, or is he just stupid?”
Just: In which case, why do you bother coming here at all?
You’re runnin’. I won.
Ant: So why did you marry that Ozark lowlife again? I mean what does it say about you? Nuthin’ good, right?
Probably the same reason you go to church. You don’t believe any of it, but you go for your own reasons. Evil people love convention, since it allows them to hide.
You married him cuz you wanted to have kids. Then you dealt with him much as the black widow spider deals with her mate.
Justanotherguy …
Your comment about community defense brought to mind the unassailable fact that the American military is ready and willing to attack American communities and kill American citizens, following orders as usual. Those orders coming from on high, originating “we-know-where” beyond the Pentagon.
I have also mused on what would befall the hapless dopes incarcerated in the Colorado Supermax and other such high-security institutions, in case of a general collapse. Would TPTB not have a special mission involving a flyover of Hueys dispensing nerve gas, smothering the joint? Would they bother to tip off the warden and his staff? (Bad idea: the word would leak out to the inmates and there’d be hell to pay.)
Just like in NuOrleens after the hurricane: the military would pass through, politely-but-firmly request all firearms in the residence and then proceed to annihilate any remaining resistance.
I come from an Air Force family and am thoroughly familiar with the mentality.
Mary, you’re sounding like the Hildebeast. Don’t need no man cuz I gots ma village!
These personal ad homs do nothing at all for the arguments advanced.
But they do lower the tone of the room.
Sure I am.
LOL.
Idiot.
9er – strictly speaking, not an ad-hom. more like a simile with unflattering illustration, a fair one – given kaweeeeeeeeen’s express opinions.
Sure, I’m so much like Hillary that I’ve hated her since she appeared on the scene in the early 1990s.
She is against every single thing I’m for.
Uncle Bob made a stupid comparison, and JAG lapped it up like the little yapping poodle he is, desperate to please all the more misogynistic menfolk up here.
Western Civ allowed for feminism. Feminism taught the oppression of women by the Patriarchy. Feminists sought to destroy Patriarchy, and they have, wherever tolerant Western values hold sway. So, goodbye Patriarchy, goodbye, West, goodbye feminism. The host has been killed.
Yes, the triumph of the parasites. Now they shall die screaming about how unfair it all is.
a new feminist project’s exposition:
theblaze.com/news/author-book-abolish-the-family
the liner notes really say it all – a firm admission of feminism’s destructive arc towards atomization and neuterization of the foundational institution recognizing and opposing state tyrrany.
long live daddy state!
“Abolish the Family traces the history of family abolitionist demands, beginning with nineteenth century utopian socialist and sex radical Charles Fourier, the Communist Manifesto and early-twentieth century Russian family abolitionist Alexandra Kollontai. Turning her attention to the 1960s, Lewis reminds us of the anti-family politics of radical feminists like Shulamith Firestone and the gay liberationists, a tradition she traces to the queer marxists bringing family abolition to the twenty-first century. This exhilarating essay looks at historic rightwing panic about Black families and the violent imposition of the family on indigenous communities, and insists: only by thinking beyond the family can we begin to imagine what might come after.”
WHat a load of bullshit topped with garbage.
Right now, the trans agenda – run by men – is crushing the last bit of rights any women have.
When women try to speak, we’re attacked by Antifa and TRAs (mostly men). Then cops side with the thugs. Women in UK have been jailed for misgendering a male. Males are now allowed in our shelters, and prisons, and are raping women in both. Men have taken over our sports and lockerrooms.
Just shove it with your “women run everything” bullshit. You’re obviously clueless.
the only reply to mq’s horseshit right above is to pass out from the severity of cognitive dissonance on display.
Nice try. You’ll have to disprove what I just claimed and you can’t. As usual, you just look like another moron who attacks the messenger because you can’t stand the truth staring you in the face.
Of course, you’re not the only crybully up here.
You may as well join the wokies.
i don’t have to disprove anything you assert – you lead with a claim, its your baby to defend. otherwise, the claim is dismissed. most people here seem to get that.
trans agenda, men running it. ok, we’re off to a good start. show me your evidence, and we might learn something…
why don’t you come out of that ugly defensive shell and try reason, be a human instead of a feminist punching bag.
i believe in holding out a hand to anyone who is willing to try.
(but sadly, not holding out high hopes)
I’m always willing to be schooled on this and other issues, but it seems to me that as far as the trans agenda goes, it may be carried out or exploited by men, but it has been largely created and supported by women. Men, in this instance, appear to be the enforcers of something they have not created. I don’t believe it’s something they would EVER have created. In it, I see the end result of the feminization of pretty much everything. I have yet to see a father promoting his child’s transition; on the contrary.
I don’t know why women are more prone to this, but I relate it to Munchausen syndrome by proxy, defined as “a mental illness and a form of child abuse. The caretaker of a child, MOST OFTEN A MOTHER (my caps), either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick.”
Women and men, when they’re the majority in charge of anything, operate in very different ways. I can remember when HR departments existed largely to fill out forms. Once they became full of women, they became more concerned with monitoring behavior for hurt feelings, perceived threats, and offences to various special groups.
I’m merely making the point that, from my personal observation, women run things very differently from how men run them. Some things are well suited to being run by women; others not. We really are not the same, and that goes beyond biology.
Rowdypiglet, nope.
Look up ‘visionaries’ like John Money. Sure, there are postmodernist women heros, like Judith Butler. But no way no how is this ‘mostly’ a women-led movement or situation.
Are a lot of women going along with it? Yep. But I’m not, and neither are millions of other women.
rp – couldn’t have said it better.
i don’t take any joy in having to teach my son the working as you and i see them – its an utter waste of time in the larger sense.
but i am satisfied that the dysfunction you describe will be self correcting. it is low level insanity, and just like *every* instance of matriarchy’s outcomes in the past, will be collapse from hir internal contradictions and incompatibility with reality,
or,
it will continue to assist our civ down the path we’re on – collapse by general defiance of reality.
and since rp made the point, which da kaweeeeeen ignored (as usual), it is worth restating.
its mothers on board with the whole trans fashion for kids, not fathers.
though the ‘thoughful’ enclaves of the la area probably have some warped men promoting.
like the dad in that prime time disaster with their adopted boy…. who has been memory holed, now that the purpose has been served.
MaryQ, I see many women verbally attacking other women for objecting to men in women’s facilities. I haven’t noticed any women coming to JK Rowling’s defense, though the attacks on her from women are plentiful and vicious. I just don’t see much support from women on this issue, even though women are suffering on account of it.
The whole inclusivity thing is atypical for men, it’s a women’s phenomenon like prizes for participation. It seems to me that the men who have taken over women’s sports and lockerrooms have done so with the support of . . . women.
After all, as far as women’s sports go, it would be the easiest thing on earth to shut down men’s participation. All that would need to be done is for women to refuse to participate in any competition that included trans women. If even half the participants refused, that would be the end of it. But in spite of a few walkouts, it isn’t happening. I think that speaks for itself.
The persecutory HR departments that we see now, with their mandatory CRT training and multiple layers of Dolores Umbridge-like enforcement officers are – as far as I can see – the end result of women being in charge, and women are an overwhelming presence within them. I’m not claiming that all is perfect when men are in charge, just that what they make is noticeably different. I have never seen a man or group of men create this sort of atmosphere from scratch. Weak or fearful men are co-opted into taking part, but they rarely are the creators of this kind of thing. Constant monitoring of speech, looking for offense and a reason to punish – I’m sad to say that, in my personal experience, it’s largely women who do this. This is the flip side of the constant “affirming” of unrealities that is demanded of us.
My own observation is that women are concerned less with whatever a given entity is tasked to produce, and more with feelings and perceptions. Men, given a specific task, set aside feelings (if they come into it at all) and direct their powers to accomplishing the task. That’s a generalization but, like many generalizations, I’ve found it to be true. I watched this play out a few weeks ago with friends who were cutting firewood. The men just wanted to get it done. Left alone, it would have been over with in an hour. The women wanted to find some part that the kids could play so they could feel important and their feelings wouldn’t be hurt, so they insisted on having them carry all the bits of kindling, getting under the men’s feet and being a nuisance and a hazard. They just could not leave the process alone as long as someone didn’t have a part in it and wasn’t receiving praise. Extrapolate from that, and you’ll see what I mean.
You can see this clearly in the new and growing focus on feelings and emotional needs in the military. They seem to have forgotten that the military exists to fight and win – but winning would inevitably hurt someone’s feelings so it’s being suggested that we might need to forego winning in favor of safe spaces where we can feel good about ourselves.
I’ve seen this process in numerous places, as women have attained positions of power and begun to run things. I recognize the same inclination in myself, which is why I personally feel fit to run a household or a quilting club but not a corporation. Again, there are exceptions but this generalization is the end point of my lifetime of experience.
Feminism is so entrenched in us now that it’s anathema to point out differences between men and women that might suggest we’re each suited to different things. I don’t feel either empowered or offended by any of this. It’s just the result of a lifetime of observation.
Rowdypiglet, just because you don’t ‘see’ support from women doesn’t mean squat.
It’s going on in great numbers.
You are ignorant on the subject, fine, just don’t lie about what you don’t know about.
Women are and have always been the approximately half of all humanity who really count. At the material level, life is basically a reproductive cycle. Women are and have always been central to this. Indeed, among many species, the male is peripheral to the repoductive cycle. He makes a brief appearance during mating season.
It is said that the evolutionary advantage provided by sexual reproduction is that it facilitates the reshuffling of the genetic deck, thus allowing a species to more readily make adaptive genetic recombinations. In many species, this is the only contribution made by the male.
In most human cultures, the role of the male of the species has been expanded; his role is to provide the support structure for the female in her role as the creatrix of the continuation of human life: provider and protector.
This is also the role of the male among most bird species: he helps with the building of the nest, defending the territory, and feeding the young.
So we may say that the male can (and often does) make a meaningbul contribution to life and its reproductive cycle. He can have value. Is his contribution essential? Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Whether the male can have and equal biological value to the female is a difficult question–though I would say, probably yes.
But life just inherently gives primacy to the female, so you might say that the life cycle is necessarily matriarchal. If you value life and its continuation, then the cultural focus must be in some respects matriarchal–at least in the sense of placing a very high value on women and children. It is only thus that men can have dignity and value–because that IS their value.
Spot on, yet again.
birds are not humans, who have the longest period of offspring helplessness of any species.
every species has optimized its reproductive strategies in light of innumerable factors, but the single one above is the most significant to the human pattern.
with the long care required, the partnership evolved with the men looking outward for resources and guarding against dangers, while the women nurtured and raised the young.
neither could manage without the other throughout the vast majority of human history.
so now feminism wants to reorder all this, against our nature, and reap all the rewards while bearing none of the responsibility?
if this kind of rhetoric is the best you’ve been sold, ask for a refund, give up the envy and bitterness, and be grateful for the gift of sentience before you destroy it with this unworkable bullshit.
If you think about it, the importance of the male role in various species seems to be entirely a function of the economic need for them to contribute. Among most grazing animals, there is little or no need for them to stick around and contribute. They don’t provide grass or other forage to the females and the young. Thus, in those species the male is almost entirely peripheral.
Among most bird species, it would be difficult or impossible for the female to hatch and raise the young without the male’s contribution.
Among humans, the male contribution may or may not be of importance. In some cases, females may be able to manage quite well in nurturing and providing for the young. In some cases she can do so, but only with great difficulty. In other cases it would probably be nearly impossible for her to do so, even with a good all-female support system. This probably mainly depends on climate and the abundance of food and other resources.
an of course, if all we ever had was a matriarchy, we wouldn’t be debating here.
we’d be shivering in mud huts, considering what child to sacrifice to appease the angry goddess.
so please, go on. i do enjoy watching while idiots destroy the branch they’re sitting on, even if only one peck at a time.
enjoy the fall!
@ justanotherguy:
My personal view is very much in favor of family formation. Life could be better for everyone (men, women, and children) if most women occupied themselves with children and the care of the home and most men assumed the role of provider and protector. Society should of course allow for both men and women who feel that this is not their vocation and provide them with opportunities to do something else. Also, women who spend their youth devoted to children often find other things to do once the kids are grown. (You should see the old Amish ladies at the produce auctions. They are all business when looking over the cucumbers–clearly planning to make a nice profit on the sale of homemade pickles.)
I was around back in the late sixties and early seventies, when the feminist move was just getting traction. At that time, pretty much the entire reason the feminist movement existed at all was because of the very large number of women who had become the sole providers of their families. This was usually because Dad had abandoned the family, though sometimes it was because he was just a drunk or a layabout. Thus, the chief demand of feminism at that time was equal pay for equal work–and of course equal opportunity for advancement into higher paying positions.
One of my old high school friends raised three younger siblings and her daughter alone. This was because she and her siblings’ dad had abandoned the family, her mother had died, and her husband abandoned her and their daughter. She took on this level of responsibility when she was only about twenty–a couple of years out of high school. She was fortunate enough to get a job at the local bank, where it turned out that the women were not paid as much as the men for the same job, nor were the women considered for higher paying positions. When confronted with this, her employer argued that this was because the men had families to support.
So you can perhaps imagine my friend’s irritation.
This stuff is the actual roots of feminism. It’s also a story that was very common in the seventies.
ant – thank you for the thoughtful reply. i know what follows is a long read, but i tested feminism myself forty years ago, and lived in that community to see for myself if the problems i saw in the broader world were amenable to a different approach – knowing little about human nature beyond my own optimistic good nature.
“Society should of course allow for both men and women who feel that this (trad family life?) is not their vocation and provide them with opportunities to do something else.”
the problem with this idea was explored by the early soviets with a simple question – they did attempt to be intellectually honest, realizing that human nature tends toward corruption with power. that question was: “who decides for whom”. they had no answer, but refused to forsake power just as orwell described, leading to the tragedies of the 20th century with gov’ts murdering hundreds of millions of their own citizens.
the other option, imperfect as it is, was to severely curtail the opportunities for abuse of power by strictly limiting the positions from which it could be exercised, and in what form. my working axiom is “a problem cannot be fixed by applying (government) power – that always makes it worse.” i cannot think of any exception. feminism was overtly supported by many far sighted, extraordinarily wealthy, powerful men. it is a fair question to ask – did they have the best interest of this nation, its citizens, and our future in mind? much is called into question by admitting that questionable power sponsored many if not most of the changes that have so damaged all of us.
“I was around back in the late sixties and early seventies, when the feminist move was just getting traction. At that time, pretty much the entire reason the feminist movement existed at all was because of the very large number of women who had become the sole providers of their families.”
i was around then too, and the major victim (a term i use carefully) were black families. lyndon b.’s so called ‘guns and butter’ or ‘great society’ programs had the effect of devastating black families, which until the 50’s, at similarly intact as those of the broader society. welfare, but not for whole families – how fracked up is that? he also said that givaway would, ironically, have n****rs voting for democrats for 100(?) years. what evil.
as a sidebar, there were plenty of other problems faced by blacks then (obvious, right?), but the debate within the black community between booker washington and w.e.b. dubois was far more significant to the black community in the choice of its future than such as wikipedia would acknowledge. suffice to say, once the naacp was founded, the fix was in, the course was set.
“This was usually because Dad had abandoned the family, though sometimes it was because he was just a drunk or a layabout.”
where i grew up, this was unheard of. perhaps what you describe is regional, or has other causal factors, but it was certainly not universal. the advent of no fault divorce followed, and the problem of broken families has absolutely, widely, tragically gotten worse. marriage is a foolish move for a man these days, given that two lives are badly compromised – but stats are clear – 70 to 80 percent of divorces are filed by women – because the courts have incentivized outcomes that way. the notion of marriage as a mutual commitment and responsibility is no longer enforced by most communities in the west. shouldn’t we be expected to act like adults, all of us, when undertaking perhaps life’s greatest partnership?
“One of my old high school friends raised three younger siblings and her daughter alone. This was because she and her siblings’ dad had abandoned the family, her mother had died, and her husband abandoned her and their daughter. She took on this level of responsibility when she was only about twenty–a couple of years out of high school.”
taking nothing away from your friend’s burden and responsible actions, my grandmother, with two younger siblings, lost her mother at 12. she raised herself, them, and later in life raised several others, along with her husband, my grandfather, as part of their legacy. gram’s father went to nyc at the height of ww1, and delivered ice from a wagon, loading from a pier on the hudson. the picture i have of him with his wagon and team, surrounded by others like him, ready to live in poverty to send money home to his children, my gram, great aunt and uncle, is one of my dearest possessions.
again, an aside, his great, great grandfather fought in the american revolution, and received a land grant. i am a son of the american revolution, all hollow pride on my part, but proud none the less.
my point here is that here, in those days, my gram’s story is not that rare. everybody did what they could, without complaint. neighbors with a soul did what they could – and helped make such difficulties for families like ours not just bearable, but noble.
we have had it easy for way too long, and it has diminished us. i have no patience for anyone with any sense of entitlement, high or low. the whole perpetual victim and know-better-do-gooder things have their roots not so far in the past, with temperance and universal suffrage. i know that last will grate, but consider – democracies have all fallen when the majority grants itself the right to take and force, which honestly is a form of slavery. we can claim to be compassionate or noble with our intentions, but the corrupt exercise of those intentions has brought horrible power to some, and excruciating poverty to many more than it has helped. far better, in my humble opinion, have fewer that need assistance, than to assist the more and more that need it, as is now the case.
so if we were honest, we would chose to fix the source of the problems, which if successful, would put many in power or the bureaucracy out of business, instead, they apply ‘fixes’ that have almost always make the problem worse.
is that really compassion? are people better or worse off for all these noble-by-intent but horrible-by-outcome changes. there is only one honest answer here, again in my humble opinion.
Life is matriarchal – until someone tries to kill you and your kids. Then men start to become rather useful. Here’s the upshot of it all: men and women need each other. Any community I want to belong to will have both men and women who have the same values as me.
Anthea and Hereward: Well said.
Men and women are both necessary in every society, and neither is more important than the other.
Not really a difficult concept, but just look at the tomes written up here by men determined to ‘splain to us all why man good, woman bad, or men strong, women weak (while whining that women have taken over everything).
Justanother guy lecturing us on the evils of entitlement is just too, too precious.
LMAO!!!
Wow.
kaweeeeenie – sometimes i think you intend to come across as a cartoon troll. nicely done.
Here in the real world, what I see are women raising kids (quite often alone), working at jobs, doing all the household work, and taking all the responsibility, while the men abandon their families, or, if married, do not do their share of the work or accept their share of the responsibility.
For the most part, I see a world of women like my friend to raised her three siblings and her daughter alone.
So one is surprised to hear from (some) men that they believe themselves superior to women, when they typically assume far less responsibility.
Jarek would be a case in point. It appears that he has no responsibility for anyone, provides for no one, and protects no one. He doesn’t even seem to know anyone of either sex. He also doesn’t appear to have a job.
The point has been raised here that, in the more difficult times that lie ahead, women will “need” men. So…. Why aren’t they needed now? What’s stopping them from taking responsibility for others in the here and now? Somehow I suspect that a guy who does nothing to make himself needed by others in the here and now is unlikely to do so if times get tough. What is such a guy figuring on doing to make women need him?
Very charitable of you to offer servitude to men. Believe it or not, we’re people and want to love and be loved.
Christ said love your neighbor as YOURSELF – emphasis mine because needed; needed because ignored. If my life doesn’t matter, neither does yours, that of children, or anybody else.
St Paul didn’t demand women love their husbands – he knew women too well – but of course we hope for that. He demanded that they obey. It’s men he told to love their wives – even unto death.
Actually, no, Jarek.
Men who are hate-filled assholes and probably a danger to women and children IRL aren’t ‘valuable’ or ‘needed’ by anyone.
That’s why we have jails.
@ Jarek:
Do you think that you can have value, either to others or to yourself, without being of service to them?
The love of others is not a sentiment you indulge in, while others do the work, or some maudlin indulgence of crying in your beer while sittng in the neighborhood bar, while the women work all day and come home from the job to care for children and cook and clean. The love of others is an active, strenous business. For a serious, reckonable person, it will require almost every minute of every day. For many people (usually women), it may mean that you won’t be able to sleep more than six hours a night.
You are not going to be loved for sitting in a recliner watching TV and demanding that others wait on you, so you don’t have to get up.
Love consists of service to others, and of active kindness. This is reality. A person who will not serve others is a bum and a layabout. If your vanity requires that others serve you without receiving any return, you will discover later in life that everyone considers you, and long ago figured out, that you are a lifelong bum and mooch. You will be held in very low esteem (if you aren’t already).
Do you think anyone really admires the guy with the trust fund who has never had a real job in his life? I know some of these guys in my age group. Their lifelong reputation is that they are (as they put it in Yiddish) a bunch of schmenders or schorrers–quite the opposite (as they put it in Yiddish) of a “mensch”–a “real man” who has made great contributions to his family and community.
Being somebody is not an aristocratic title. It is earned.
I asked in my previous post, “What is such a guy figuring on doing to make women need him?” speaking of the guy who figures that women will again need men in the post-apocalyptic world.
The problem with this thinking is that the guy whom you can’t get to mow the lawn in the here and now is unlikely to hitch up the team and plow the field if times get more difficult and demanding. Many or most men will simply be more of a burden and danger to women than they already are.
Probably the hardest thing about getting old is that you have to give up that position of “being somebody.” Where you are used to being the person who does everything for others, you have dwindled into a person that everyone has to take care of to some degree. You used to be the one who earned the income, cooked dinner every night, and tucked everyone in with a song or a story. You framed in windows, installed a new breaker box, built a kitchen pantry, bought the kids bicycles and cars, replaced their car batteries, took them out to eat, drove them to dance classes and dance recitals and after-school jobs and school activities. You attended their band concerts and sat in the school parking lot till 2:00 am waiting for the bus to return from the band trip.
Long story short: you used to be important. The next thing you know, THEY are having kids, and you’re no longer the mom. THEY are now the mom. Pretty soon one of the kids is coming over to mow your lawn or showing up with chicken broth and an oxymeter and a nebulizer when you get sick. Where you used to install the new kitchen cabinets, one of the kids is doing it–while you sit in your chair and wish you weren’t some broken-down old woman and could at least help.
it’s really hard to watch your daughter scamper around on the roof to install a new triple-walled insulated flue pipe for the wood stove, when you no longer dare to climb a ladder–you who used to scamper around the roof yourself and climb up and straddle the peak of the roof for the sheer joy of it. Everybody else is firing up the saws-all and ’bout to “rip that shit out of there,” and you don’t even have the sand to cuss much any more.
Devoting your life to serving and caring for others is life’s greatest joy. There is nothing better than being important to others.
Plus it’s FUN to cook a nice meal, and it’s fun to cut firewood in the snow, and it’s fun to fire up the saws-all and “rip that shit out of there.” It’s fun to tuck the kids in at night and sing them a song.
Where the hell is your joy in life? Why would you want to avoid doing stuff and being somebody?
My friend who raised her siblings and daughter alone–who worked and bought a house, and whose kids turned out great–and my many other friends who raised a family alone (who in some cases didn’t get a divorce, but did it all because hubby wouldn’t get a job) are now admired and respected in their communities. My friend who single-handedly started up farmers’ markets in three area towns (a HUGE service to those communities) and has run a successful market garden business for many years is now one of the acknowledged grande dames of the area. (Her husband, though he always worked and contributed, is another story.) As you may easily imagine, all those dads who abandoned their families or would not work, or whose wives divorced them because they were drunks and layabouts, are not very highly regarded by anyone.
Geez, what the hell is wrong with you that you would view “servitude” to others as degrading?
Thus we see Jarek’s true philosophy of life revealed:
“Very charitable of you to offer servitude to men.”
He believes that he should not have to work or contribute, and is entitled to live by mooching off of others. Because…. Work is “servitude.” He sounds like petulant teenager who sulks because Mom (and Dad, if such a person is around) have told him to get a job and pay for his own gas money.
He has thus confirmed my earlier statements that most men are basically mooches–usually mooching off of women, but perfectly amenable to mooching off of their parents whenever feasible.
Jarek, as I have said before, does not seem to have a job or to have ever accepted any responsibility, nor any friends who could depend on him if their car broke down at 2:00 am. (Doing things for others would be “servitude.”) And he has just indicated that he believes he is entitled to be a bum, a mooch, and non-contributer, and live off of others.
When we had no birth control and abortions were risky, we also had plenty of infanticide.
perhaps facts about which we can be thankful, brought to all by the patriarchy and western civilization.
between all the gifts of reason, the pursuit of truth, the good and the beautiful, and pathological altruism (and all the unintended outcomes), our civ could stand a bit of self reflection, if it survives.
@ Beryl of Oyl:
Kind of off topic, but one of the great novels on this subject (more or less) is Walter Scott’s “The Heart of Midlothian.”
At one time there was a law in Scotland that any woman who was known to be pregnant but whose baby was nowhere to be found after she reached term was to be hanged. This was because there was a high incidence of infanticide.
“The Heart of Midlothian” is the story of Jeanie Deans, who walked barefoot to London to plead for the life of her sister whose child had disappeared. (Stolen by Gypsies, if I remember right.) This is supposedly a true story.
on topic, i suppose they were probably better at nurturing back then, probably not because there were brutal, draconian laws to see it so.
but these days – read it and weep.
globalmissingkids.org/awareness/missing-children-statistics/
what extraordinary pain to loose a child this way. i know i would die before i admitted any child of mine was forever lost. it that still the case, or have we changed?
Thus the Bible says, You shalt not suffer a witch to live.
A couple of years ago, Italians burned Gypsies out of a neighborhood. They were caught stealing an Italian child.
j – interesting story. link?
@ justanotherguy:
My understanding is that the vast majority of missing children were kidnapped by a non-custodial parent. The custodial parent needs to take precautions against this, one of which is to have a document on file at the kid’s school stating that the non-custodial parent is not allowed to pick them up from school. It’s also a good idea to keep a copy of the custody papers in the trunk of your car, in case the non-custodial parent refuses to let the child go home after a visit and you have to call the cops. (Been there, done that.)
One of my daughters went to visit her dad for a weekend, and he kept putting off returning her home. She knew he planned to not let her go home, so she tried to escape from him while they were at Walmart. When I went to get her, he had locked her in an upstairs bedroom, where she was crying and in terror. So I called the cops and got the custody papers out of the trunk of the car, and took her home after proving I had custody.
I don’t find the CDC advisory committee vote bizarre at all. Of course they voted that way. It is their last best hope at keeping the lid on the crimes against humanity they were complicit in.
It may fail, but what other option did they have.
WE already had people resign from these organizations in disgust. The ones who are left are either in on it to one degree or another, or too stupid to understand what is going on.
Being a little bit culpable in crimes against humanity tends to carry heavier penalties that being marginally involved in other kinds of crime does.
If someone tricked me into taking an action that ended up killing my child, I’d start with the big fish, and work my way down to the bottom, but I’d get them all.
Well said.
These jerks aren’t about to just admit their crimes.
And snitches get stitches.
YT is still full of channels featuring ‘Experts’ — usually retired NATO & US Army Generals — who insist that Russia is losing, cannot win, already lost, logistically has collapsed, is in full retreat, and is ready to surrender. They have the maps & charts to prove it. What’s more, Putin has leukemia, Parkinson’s Disease, Cancer, and facing an imminent coup. And it’s just not just presenters on YT saying this but the legacy networks CBS, ABC, NBC & PBS, as well as BBC & DW; is it wishful thinking? Are they outright lying? I never hear any hard questions asked, like what’s the endgame, is ultimate victory anywhere in sight, and how much more will this cost the US beyond the $80 billion we’ve already spent
It’s like a propaganda diarrhea explosion out there.
Lies exploding everywhere you look.
I think they actually believe their own propaganda too. Idiots like Petreaus really think that Russia is on the edge of collapse.
Yes! I once read an article (maybe I posted it here) about this current cabal and their indoctrination into all things anti-Russian. They are as crazy as the covid19 death cult. They do honestly believe that Russia is trying to destroy the US and that they are inherently evil. So they lack even a smidgeon of objectivity. That makes them quite blind.
It’s a common misconception, Mary, that only the recipients of mass propaganda believe it. In fact, the producers of the propaganda end up swallowing it too. The Ukraine delusion is a perfect example.
This (Petreaus) theory might be correct, I’m not discounting it.
Still, I harbour a deeper mistrust in the motive. A ‘what if’ question. I’m just not privy to the inner workings of such a circle of people. If it were otherwise, I wouldn’t be posting comment here. Possibly I should just break out the tin foil hat. (For yet another wearing session.)
In addition to correct and timely ‘ticket-punching’, what success can he claim to be his alone?
Which runs the line to complete the circle shape: ‘Idiots like Petreaus …’
Endgame.
The Russian Federation has a declared endgame: demilitarization and denazification.
US/UK/NATO endgame sort of depends. Regime change is usually a tempting top of the list endgame.
Many times an excuse for:
Hanging around militarily for decades which isn’t really an endgame unless continued cash flow to the MIC and their benefactors is the never-ending endgame. Refer back to regime change.
It reminds me of the talk of “light at the end of the tunnel” and “we’re winning hearts and minds” back in the 1960’s.
Trump and Russia collusion that !ie lasted two years and some fools still chirp about it.
About that covid vaccine tyranny- Alex Berenson was talking about something we have talked about a lot here, our host included.
What has happened to journalism?
“I just provided hard evidence that a board member at a drug company that has made $70 billion selling vaccines tried to censor me; NO major non-conservative media outlet has reported this news”
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/what-has-happened-to-journalism-volume?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
Well Alex, let me enlighten you somewhat. You watch the legacy news programs on at 6:30 p.m., you can’t help but notice the lengthy commercials for prescription drugs.
So, that gives people, including me, the impression that the networks aren’t about to report anything that their biggest sponsors don’t like.
It’s worse than that, though. Those aren’t commercials. They look like commercials, they had me fooled.
It was recently pointed out to me that commercials are advertisements to get new customers.
If I see an ad for a Chevy truck, and I like it and can afford it, I go buy the truck.
An ad for a drug drug for arthritis does not persuade anyone to go out and buy the drug.
Doctors who might prescribe that drug have already been “sold” on the pills by pharmaceutical representatives, in person.
So who are those annoying “ads” aimed at? No one.
They aren’t commercials, they are a form of money laundering, and the product being boght and paid for is the media’s coverage or lack of coverage of all things related to the company paying for the ads.
It’s as sleazy as it gets. Big Pharma writes a check for a commercial that isn’t a commercial, the television media does as it is paid to do, and no one is the wiser.
BTW they don’t advertise the particular shots, do they? I haven’t watched television much in a long time, but I don’t think they do. If they did, they’d have to disclose side effects, wouldn’t they?
That’s very enlightening! Good work!
Thank you, but I was clued in by someone else’s remark.
agreed, and exceptionally enlightening insight. thanks.
“BTW they don’t advertise the particular shots, do they? I haven’t watched television much in a long time, but I don’t think they do. If they did, they’d have to disclose side effects, wouldn’t they?”
Interesting point.
But in that case, who is advertising vaccines and getting vaccinated? Wouldn’t this be anticompetitive, a combine, like an industry group getting together to advertise cars in general (surely a no-no in the green age!!), or taking drugs in general?
I know, I know, it’s a technicality since we know that Pfizer basically has a monopoly.
But still, even Pfizer has a couple of different products out there. Now boosters, etc. Plus Moderna.
Is the message: “Take whatever jab you are told to take” And: “Don’t ask stupid questions like, ‘What jab are you advertising?’, and ‘What is in the jab?'”
That’s a good point too. I have heard announcement from various health departments about availability of shots, as you would expect, but lately there seems to be a trend of vague pro-vaxx announcements where it is not clear to the casual listener where it is coming from.
I am also hearing more references to nuclear strikes, even though I have not been listening to the news on the radio.
They seem to be trying to normalize discussion of using nuclear weapons, to make it non-unthinkable.
The drug companies are not allowed to advertise for a non-approved drug, which the “vaccines” are, being authorized under the 2005 loophole, the EUA.
That is why you are getting the celebrity endorsements and the CDC and “Health Department” exhortations instead.
And yes, they are pushing for nuclear war also.
They seem to believe that they can survive a nuclear war.
And then what? Do they really think they can arise from their bunkers and find humans able and willing to continue working for their benefit?
i have a friend who in the reagan era, uncharacteristically joined the military. he has an iq in the 200 range (self reported, but plausible) and was utterly convinced that reagan would start a nuke war with the evil empire. history has taught us reagan played better poker, and the soviets agreed to the game.
the basic premise was that the less crazy leader would blink first. my very smart buddy didn’t think reagan was bluffing. it was a damn good bluff.
nowadays, there are two parties, and they have not agreed on the game, the fjb pResident regime has swallowed their own kook-aid, and is convinced the russians are also playing poker again, while the russians are playing chess, thinking that self preservation will not force fjb to flip the script and overturn the table.
the crazy leader nukular game’s new twist – dementia patient may or may not have that button, and if its somebody else, are they playing another game.
or they’re all putting on the show of the century, to impress the rebellious plebs with REAL power, distracting from the constant insults and outrages corroding our civilization.
fucking great game again….
I was sure that Reagan would start a nuclear war also.
But he had some rational advisors, I assume, unlike the equally demented Biden.
The MAD doctrine only works when both sides are sane.
Sane people think that Mutually Assured Destruction is best avoided.
But what happens when one of the sides is batshit crazy?
What happens when they decide that 80 years of avoiding nuclear war was due to the cowardice of one party, not the sanity of both?
What happens when people who know no limits, either to their actions or their greed, get into power, have their hands on the nuclear button, and think they can leverage it into grabbing greater wealth?
We are going to find out.
If they hide/don’t keep stats, then there’s no side effects to report, kinda like those “Baseless Assertions of Election Fraud”.
That is a very good point.
Most of the time they don’t even say what the drug is for. The ad just shows happy people running in the park or at a birthday party for grandma.
And then they tell you to ask your doctor if the drug is right for you.
I always just laughed at the ridiculousness of the ads but you are right.
The point is not to sell the drug, the point is to buy the media.
They also want their logo and name to be connected in our brain with parties and sunshine and grammaw.
Out European guests are astonished at TV ads for arcane prescription medications. Truthfully I could never understand their purpose, you’ve cleared it up for me.
“Truthfully I could never understand their purpose, you’ve cleared it up for me.”
Here is a little Google “answer blurg” as I call them (My question: When did it become legal to advertise prescription drugs directly to consumers?”):
“Years ago in the US, drug ads were directed primarily at doctors. But in 1997 the FDA eased restrictions to allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to consumers.”
The point was to motivate viewers to ask their doctors for the advertised drugs. I expect there are studies out there as to how effective such advertising is. In the case of the jabs, the constant exposure of the name Pfizer implants a feeling of confidence in the viewer’s mind. I don’t even have a TV, but I must have seen this s— and registered it unconsciously, because I was horrified when I learned more about the company’s actual history.
I wonder how many members of the public have any idea of the magnitude of fines levied on Pfizer, and others.
httpXX://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_pharmaceutical_settlements
They pay the fines with profits from the drugs that we paid for.
Its not a conspiracy, its a business plan; own it.
We don’t pay for them. The government does, and it’s all printed money. Which is to say it will paid for by grandchildren through a lower standard of living.
1997. Another atrocity to thank Bill Clinton for.
Some of those drugs are so vague I can’t even figure out what they’re trying to treat. People smiling and enjoying their dog and grandchildren in a park (or some wholesome variation) seems to be the goal.
There’s so much corruption and grift in this system I wonder if it will ever be cleaned up. The same people who pushed oxycontin on the public, years before, had a “medical journal” owned by the Saklers that pushed valium as a safe drug. This racket’s been going on a long time.
“… but I don’t think they do. If they did, they’d have to disclose side effects, wouldn’t they?”
Beryl,
Side effects. In my mind, one of the most brilliant advertisements listing side effects, is one for Viagra. “…In the rare case of an erection lasting four hours….”
Cannot think of any other product or service so well “spun”.
Whomsoever conceived that phrase should be well represented in the 10 best advertisement moments….
Must’ve sold a million doses on that phrase alone.
You are probably right, elysian.
But if anyone saw the treatment for priapism they would back right off.
You would not believe how much blood is involved in an erection. And it all has to go to solve the problem.
”
But if anyone saw the treatment for priapism they would back right off.”
Paula,
No question.
I do think they are selling their brands, though. Any attention… etc.
Getting their name out to the public under the guise of ‘helping’ is part of it.
Like Blackrock commercials on Fox.
There you go.
“Let’s hide our evilness by getting our name out there associated with kittens, happy children, and couples running through fields of daisies!”
But…but…you don’t WATCH television, do you?
Yeah I don’t. I was responding to what Beryl said she saw. I think I mentioned I haven’t watched live TV since 2012.
Drug commercials as she describes have been running since I was a teenager.
So…. you look like a doofus yet again.
And Beryl just goes to McDonald’s to watch people eat.
Women are liars – almost every one of them.
Looks like Jarek doesn’t have a date for Saturday night …
AGAIN.
That’s enlightening, Beryl. I always wondered – back when we used to watch tv – how any number of people “asking their doctor” about a given drug could justify the amount of money spent on the incessant drug commercials. It just doesn’t come naturally to most of us to think like a sociopath.
Whenever I have asked one of my doctors about a drug he or she is very quick to offer to write a prescription for it. It makes me uncomfortable how they don’t discuss the pros and cons with me.
I don’t watch tv but it is on in the house. Big Pharma controls the show with ad money. I think it might come out a little more in the early evening when they have a demographic looking for pills to cure their ills.
When they make some attempt at disclosure, many times the audio is at multiples faster than normal speech. Makes you really want all to take something which has a long list of untoward events, adverse reactions and other health risks including death baked into the recipe. Particularly with the actors happily smiling all the while.
Plenty of room in the cattle cars.
Great post, Beryl
Muzzled scientists at the CDC and FDA are muttering among themselves. They are not allowed to speak freely, here in the Land Of The Free.

Oz and California have passed laws that forbid doctors from talking about medicine in ways the state disapproves of.
Politics is all about superlative strategy – like the worlds finest chess players. Which is why I have an extremely hard time believing this blindingly obvious self sabotage by the Democratic Party is not deliberate and/or intentional.
Granted – if Nancy Pelosi et al had two living brain cells they would probably kill each other. However, lets also not forget both parties are equally corrupt! All this being said think where the entire world will be in the next two years if not more. World famine, economic ruin – the genocide from the lethal injections and possible nuclear war. Be careful what you wish for as there is no way in hell there is something much more sinister behind this magnitude of incompetency.
The 2 greatest cities in the world were completely decimated within a matter of two years – NY and San Fran – something far more evil is in the planning stages!
Starting off with “superlative strategy – like the worlds finest chess players” and finishing up with “this magnitude of incompetency” will confuse those that do nor recognize the flub-ups are intentional.
“Starting off with “superlative strategy – like the worlds finest chess players” and finishing up with “this magnitude of incompetency” will confuse those that do nor recognize the flub-ups are intentional.”

Another FANTASTIC article today, James, thank you! So many gems!
“Wokester-Jacobin freak show”‘ indeed.
Again: I struggle to achieve some semblance of hope that the midterms may at least put a damper on the Wokester Jacobin Freak Show’s progress. I do see that more and more people have had it. I guess we wait and see.
Speaking of the WJFS, here is another episode of the reality show insanity from POTATUS. He’s interviewed by one Dylan Mulvaney, who Matt Walsh has covered in the recent past. Mulvaney’s claim to fame is that he identifies as a girl (not a woman) and flits around in cow pastures on TIkTok in heels (as you know women do all the time). Mulvaney is an adult male.
In this interview he again mocks women as he slavers over Jo Jo Magoo while Magoo doubles-down on his mission to mutilate and sterilize children:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/10/joe-biden-says-wrong-states-ban-puberty-blockers-sex-reassignment-surgery-children-video/
I’ve seen that dude on a few channels “30 days of being a woman” etc what a useless POS he is. You’re saying he met with Biden in the White House?
Yep. See the link. Clown show on wheels!
I believe it’s 30 days of being a GIRL. He’s not even identifying as an adult, AFAIK.
They all seem to identify as girls, not women.
Perverts gonna pervert.
Also of course his version of a girl is like nothing I’ve ever seen any girl ever act like.
Teenaged fantasies they never grow out of.
“I do see that more and more people have had it. I guess we wait and see.”
But you live in a tight little bubble of your echo chamber. Do you have any idea of how the sane people on this planet have ‘had it’ with this MAGAt bullshit? And I don’t mean the radical left, which is just as unhinged as the radical right.
Nice projection.
LOL, Fake Trae never fails to entertain by self-humiliation.
Maybe you should ask Dylan out for a date! Liberal guys just love those fake women.
Redneck must hate traveling the world with so many right wing populist governments emerging in Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, etc.. all these fellow anti war MAGA type movements. All those damned farmers in the Netherlands must really piss him off with their insolence.
🙂
Define ”sane people”.
If you believe that a human can change sexes you are not sane.
If you believe that a woman’s brain can accidentally grow in a male body you are not sane.
If you believe that toddlers should watch depraved adults twerk in a library you are not sane.
If you believe that puberty is a disease and should be treated with drugs you are not sane.
Therefore anyone who believes in those things is not qualified to judge Make America Great people’s sanity.
Brava!
It’s pretty simple…as I said:
“And I don’t mean the radical left, which is just as unhinged as the radical right.”
Are you sane? I see you as Radical Right, or at least, Adjacent.
I agree with all your points, but I don’t believe that EVERYONE ELSE on the planet who is not adherent to MAGAtry does believe those things. Such people are a tiny minority.
In your zealotry to “expose” people who may think such things as Left Radicals – who are certainly not in my crew – you are arguing with the wind. Good luck.
perhaps you should read edward bernays, and how the levers of power are used to manipulate.
to word it your way:
nobody i know believes in levers of power, so levers of power cannot have any effect. all you people that talk of levers of power and are concerned about the effect are insane. there is no such thing as a lever of power, so you are wrong about everything.
if you thought any differently, you would not go along to get along with “your crew”.
so that makes you an incrementalism apologist. i want to see you eat bugs. post a link.
You are radical left if you support Jo Jo Magoo who supports those insane beliefs Paula posted.
Jo Jo Magoo was interviewed by Dylan Mulvaney – for serious.
Are you just skipping over that?
These are all sins of a government approaching, if not already in, total paralysis.

“The German gene for obedience…” as pathetic as the “situation” is, you are a funny guy JHK…
I have the greatest appreciation for our host’s ability to make me laugh out loud at the horrors that beset us. Every time he manages this amazing feat, I feel as if a little nugget of courage was placed into my heart. You can’t place a value on that.
Yes. They have a very definite way of subordinating themselves to the state. One of Eichmann’s pet words for it was ‘Kadavergehorsam’ or “the obedience of corpses”. The Teuton belief that any law, no matter how outrageous, must be carried out.
Like a shipload of memes, adages, pithy sayings and throwaways, it does not pay to go below the surface of “Kadavergehorsam”.
Can a corpse obey orders? I think what the feisty Eichmann meant was “zombie” because they are alleged to be good workers, striving until they fall apart to obey commands from the living.
One reasonably reasonable theory I read was that the real Haitian zombies were actually live people who had been dosed with a certain hallucinogenic, which made them incapable of doing anything except following orders.
Just like song lyrics: don’t think about them too carefully, or they begin to sound absurd.

A pet peeve of mine here at CFN is the occassional kudos to Musk, hoping he buys Twitter, etc. As if he is doing so because he’s some magnanimous friend of humanity. No: He is just another a greedy billionaire. And his mother is a satanist.

Musk believes he is always the genius in the room and that when you are always right, what is there to discuss?

He is still brave to go up against some of these forces.

I think looney Liz Warren was serious when she went after him.

And I also do think he may (still) be politically naive, notwithstanding his abilitly to game the system.
His success so far with the Tesla scam may have led him into deeper waters where he doesn’t understand the deeper political forces at work.
Maybe he should ask his mom for advice at this point.
Certainly the Musk show is worth watching, on a number of levels.
Yes, he showed his naivety when he started coming up with reasonable solutions to the fight betwixt the Ukraine and Russia.
As if someone wants that.

No revolution succeeds without help from the upper classes.
Thus Mary is utterly committed to failure. Her demand for purity in others is part and parcel of her own, you see. Politics is the art of imperfection and compromise.
If you go to visit Mary, don’t touch anything. And don’t sit down until she invites you too. Better yet, don’t go.
Stop drooling on Mary.
It’s yucky.
What a stupid thing to say. Calling on people to be banned at least makes sense, though of course, despicable.
“No revolution succeeds without help from the upper classes.”
…I have only two words for you;
The French Revolution.
There’s been a revolt in France? Why has ‘t it been on the news?
Well, didn’t Mr. Scarlet Pimpernel save the day?
Oh wait – that was fiction.
Yes, supported by British industrialists and French aristocrats who wanted France to become like Britain. And of course the usual coterie of Freemasons, Atheists, and Jews.
C’mon, Jarek, we know you’ve got a crush on her, man!
He actually does not – he hates women to a psychotic degree.
Oh Mary! You say the sweetest things….
Musk is a more dishonest version of Trump: big on promises, short on delivery. The only value he has is in terrifying the dweebs who work at Twatter. Apart from that, he’s just a showman. Oh, and Teslas are crap.
Teslas are indeed crap.
Our street is full of them. Plasticy; panel gaps out the wazoo; style that only an American could love; and, ofc, they regularly and spontaneously catch fire and cause accidents on autopilot.

I see it as two titans fighting and they’ll both crush anyone in the way.

I’m not convinced Musk isn’t on their side.
So don’t accept his aid until you are convinced? We have nothing to lose by accepting and everything to lose by waiting “to see”. When and how will we see? The best and quickest way to use his twitter for our benefit and see if he lets us.
Paula:
Yes.
It looks like the Biden administration is bringing the full force of the govt apparatus to bear against Musk.
I don’t agree with the “Musk is one of them” and “battle of the Titans” trope.
Depends a lot on who “them” is, and Musk may be starting to find out.
Stay tuned.
I think it’s a show put on to burnish Musk’s “anti-establishment” credibility.
I think this is in an hour or so – speaking of Merrick Garland.
What bomb is he about to drop?
“Attorney General Merrick Garland and other Department of Justice leaders will hold a press conference Monday afternoon to discuss a national security matter.
According to media reports, they will be discussing ”alleged criminal activity by a nation-state actor in the U.S.”
https://www.nbc29.com/2022/10/24/merrick-garland-other-justice-dept-leaders-hold-press-conference/
More coordinated shit-show/clown-show bullshit no doubt….
Wasn’t he claiming Musk was a national security threat?
Big build-up over this:
“WASHINGTON (AP) — Two men suspected of being Chinese intelligence officers have been charged with attempting to obstruct a U.S. criminal investigation and prosecution of Chinese tech giant Huawei, according to court documents unsealed Monday.
The two men, Guochun He and Zheng Wang, are accused of trying to direct a person with the U.S. government whom they believed was a cooperator to provide confidential information about the Justice Department’s investigation, including about witnesses, trial evidence and potential new charges. One of the defendants paid about $61,000 for the information, the Justice Department said.
The person the men reached out to began working as a double agent for the U.S government, and his contacts with the defendants were overseen by the FBI. At one point last year, prosecutors say, the unnamed person passed to the defendants a single-page document that appeared to be classified as secret and that contained information about a purported plan to charge and arrest Huawei executives in the U.S.
But the document was actually prepared by the government for the purposes of the prosecution that was unsealed Monday, and the information in it was not accurate.
The company is not named in the charging documents, though the references make clear that it’s Huawei, which was charged in 2019 with bank fraud and again the following year with new charges of racketeering conspiracy and a plot to steal trade secrets.
Top FBI and Justice Department officials scheduled a Monday afternoon news conference to discuss a national security matter involving a foreign influence campaign.
The Justice Department has issued arrest warrants for the pair, but it’s not clear whether they will ever be taken into custody.
Spokespeople for Huawei and the Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately return messages seeking comment.”
Have a Chinese paid lab intern living just down the street. Routine engineering stuff, nothing classified. Her advisor has advised her to cut it short and get out of the US by Dec, even though she was actually born in the US to Chinese parents. I suspect there’s a bunch more just like her out there.
If you’ve been watching the news out of China it looks like Xi Jinping is getting ready to drop the hammer. On who isn’t clear.
First snow of the season up here this morning. Just a little dusting that’s already melted off, but it’s a start. Low of 25 expected for overnight.
Didn’t he just drop the hammer, publicly, on Hu? The former premier, or president?
Yeah, escorted offstage by security personnel, hasn’t been seen since.
Wow! OK that tells me that a hot war is ahead…
‘Two men suspected of being Chinese intelligence officers have been charged’
just curious if the two were brought in to the CCP police station in NYC for questioning.
Probably Trump pulled a girl’s ponytail in kinderkarten. Something serious like that.
Looks like they are cranking up the shootings this week in lead up to the mid-term elections. First one at a high school in Detroit, now one in St. Louis. Watch for more to come….
If I was a business owner in Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, LA, NYC, Chicago, Baltimore, Atlanta, I would be boarding up in preparation for GOP gains in the election!
Using common sense, in a city like Chicago, one would think that at some point everybody who could be shot, has been shot. But that doesn’t seem to be the case — new candidates continue to step up, day after day, week after week, month after month.
Hmmm… Civilian casualties, do you mean?
“Explosive weapons with wide area effects: 90 killed and 259 injured; Mines and explosive remnants of war: 7 killed and 17 injured .“
@ Redneck Liberal:
Meh. That’s the usual toll on prom night at an inner-city school.
Yeah…”God bless America, Land of the Free-totin’ and Home of the Brave shooter”
boarding up, probably a good idea. Longer term I’d be looking to hire a mover and set up somewhere else. Not cheap, but likely less expensive than a ‘fire’ sale.
What are the insurance rates like in these places? Do they have civil unrest clauses? I could go a couple of steps beyond ‘civil unrest’ , instead I’m leaving it to imagination.
+50 shot in Chicagoland this weekend.
I’m willing to bet that exceeds the casualty list in the war on the Eastern Front, which is costing us $10 billion per month.
The utter ridiculousness of it all.
Who is they? And how do they manage to crank up shootings?
It’s time for the good folk of the Western world to go full Caligula on our ruling class.
Arrest the ENTIRE WEF and their families, strip every penny of wealth to pay for the coming apocalypse from the death Jab.
Then turn ALL their women(and pretty men like Gates) into caged WHORES to begin to pay for the damage they’ve done.
Then turn to the politicians, bureaucrats and their families who have followed the WEFs Anti Human policies and turn THEM into caged WHORES as well.
Finally, round up the entire MSM, their owner’s, bosses, families and turn them into caged WHORES, but with them it will be televised and advertised to pay for the damages their LIES have done to the World.
We’ll pay off our debts and have some fun
Sorry, but thoughts of a caged Gates leaves me unaroused.
Me too.
Gonna be a struggle for Gates to make a living as an actual whore.
But I’m willing to let them try.
Bill Gates in a cage will arouse someone. Probably many someones…

“It’s hard to escape the awful feeling that Western Civ has a death wish…”
Western Civ is not a ‘thing’. It is an abstract label for group of People. People who share common ethics and morals and heritage and goals and dreams. At least in theory.
And when those People have become so confused and attacked and threatened and made to feel weak and worthless… then comes the ‘death wish’. They just want to give up to make the pain go away.
None of these consequences are normal or natural. These are mind and spirit viruses that were deliberately launched by the Predator Vulture Class into the human family so that we would all give up and welcome the death that the Vultures have had planned for us for generations.
It’s hard to keep fighting. It’s easy to want to throw in the towel, especially for the current past two or three generations of Americans who were brought up on ‘Quick-and-Easy’ and feeling more special and entitled than anyone else on the Planet. Americans today don’t have the strength of character that The Greatest Generation and those who came before had. So when the going gets tough… we get going… by crying Uncle. Or begging Big Daddy Gov to come to our rescue.
Not everyone, of course. But too many People today more have the character of tissue paper than rods of steel.
So, we don’t care about ‘Western Civ’ any more. We were told to be ‘World Citizens!’ We are told we must be ruled over by ‘Globalists’ and un-elected Technocrats with full delusions of godhood. We are told to give up everything to Them… and Like It.
We don’t care about Western Civ so we don’t try to protect it. We don’t fight for it. We let our jobs get off-shored and leave our borders open to allow the needy of the World to suckle off the taxpayer’s milk bottle. We let our kids be taught to hate the sex they were born and to graffiti their body’s with dreadful ink sculptures that leaves them looking like perversely walking billboards.
We allow about bodies to be repeatedly punctured by toxic injections. And we attack all those who refuse to give into such insanity. And we eat toxic food and then crave more of us unto obesity.
We are told that all White People are racists and must pay for social and racial ills that White People today had almost nothing to do in creating. And we are treated to an endless parade of non-White faces on State mass media to help to solidify the acceptable erasure of lighter-toned skin people.
Any ‘death-wish’ for people of Western Civ is profoundly sad. It is anti-Life and against all the reasons we were put on this Planet.
It is a desperate cry… not for going way… but for help.
And all this is anything but… Civilization.
Questioning the narrative takes work. People know the realities in front of them are chalked full of holes. They’re staring into the face of inept leaders and daily fraud. They choose to look away.
More and more studies are revealing that Net-Zero energy policies cannot be achieved. There isn’t enough supply of critical minerals like lithium and cobalt to make all the batteries and the high cost of energy needed to rebuild the infrastructure will bankrupt everyone long before we get there.
How many people are questioning these fantasies.
After reading Gail Tverberg’s latest, I have come to the conclusion that renewable energy projects are basically vanity projects (XX = s).

httpXX://i0.wp.com/ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/20.-Now-Europes-energy-consumption-is-falling.-Wind-and-solar-play-minor-roles.png?ssl=1
Tverberg excerpt:
“The benefits of wind and solar energy are glorified in Europe, with people being led to believe that it would be easy to transition from fossil fuels, and perhaps leave nuclear, as well. The problem is that wind, solar, and even hydroelectric energy supply are very undependable. They cannot ever be ramped up to provide year-round heat. They are poorly adapted for agricultural use (except for sunshine helping crops grow).
Few people realize that the benefits that wind and solar provide are tiny. They cannot be depended on, so companies providing electricity need to maintain duplicate generating capacity. Wind and solar require far more transmission than fossil-fuel-generated electricity because the best sources are often far from population centers. When all costs are included (without subsidy), wind and solar electricity tend to be more expensive than fossil-fuel generated electricity. They are especially difficult to rely on in winter. Therefore, many people in Europe are concerned about possibly “freezing in the dark,” as soon as this winter. “
Bloomberg 22 Oct: “New York, New England Ration Heating Oil Even Before Peak Winter
–Fuel stockpiles in New England are a third of seasonal norms
— High cost forces consumers to partially fill heating oil tanks”
According to Rueters, EU Climate Ministers recently met and agreed to clamp down even harder on fossil fuels and move up Climate Mandates. They also pledged more money to 3rd world countries in Africa & Asia.
Apparently, contrary to what we’ve heard, Europe is flush with cash and have plenty to give away. Also, they have no need for natgas, oil & coal from Russia or anywhere else. That’s the message.
Western Civ reached the dizzying heights it did very simply: the establishment of Judeo-Christian ethics and values and making that accessible to all more “primitive” cultures in the West. that we are now denying to truth is a sign of Satanism running rampant in the West. Whether you believe in Satan as an abstract or a very real entity, it is surely devouring the West…
Many would say that “western civ” reachied dizzying heights via the harnessing of day labor, domestic and foreign, and then the harnessing of fossil fuels.
Agree, Islander.
Watch how fast Judeo-Christian “values” vanish as the oil runs out.
Oh, wait……
Classic Neo-Marxist reductionism of everything to economics.
Material prosperity is necessary but not sufficient to create a great culture.
Oscar Wilde — ‘America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.’
DyersEve: “Western Civ reached the dizzying heights it did very simply: the establishment of Judeo-Christian ethics and values…”
J-C ethics gave/gives people a philosophy (The Bible) to coalesce around. This helps folks to aspire to be ‘better’ than they might have been without such aspirations to emulate. But J-C ethics also inserted a dark side of heavy-handed thought control and intolerance and insolation (and even genocide). And also competition among the various J-C groups rather than cooperation.
But this still goes back to the character of people. People were willing to strive and work hard and believe and have dreams and endeavor to make these dreams come true. All of those qualities have largely disappeared from today’s population. And many no longer treat J-C ethics with respect but treat it more like a relic from a primitive age.
In short, there was a combination of J-C ethics apparently having a shelf-life along with the de-evolution and degradation of people’s character in general.
Without a positive philosophy of some kind to aspire to… people will stagnate and flounder. That’s what we see today.
Are christians taking the Kol Nidre Vow these days? Are they accepting the Noahide Laws?
those laws were made null and void by the C values. i never use J/C, because its an innovation by that schmuck schofield and some confusing (deliberately) commentaries.
That’s a question I lose massive amounts of sleep over, Druid! 🙂

Jibes with Pierce and Lane. I’ve been thinking about those 2 and how they sounded an alarm in the 90s. Remember those 14 words? Do they connect with vaccines?
Dr. King famously spoke about not judging someone by the color of their skin but of the content of their character.
These days, all anyone in State corporate media and the business World (and in general) talks about (or is subject to) is color of skin. Almost no one talks about content of character any more.
To create disorder amongst People… skin tone has been hyped into nonsensical importance and societal status by the Predator Class. To serve Their ends.
And content of character is not on the docket. Dr. King would be appalled at what has happened in the decades since his attempts to let humans be a true human family and not a skin shade being used as a wedge over others.
Yeah, he would be appalled. And sad.
If there’s one thing Jarek hates almost as much as women, it’s accomplished and famous black men.
Nonsense. He was a Marxist and would be thrilled.
Listen to him insult Jackie Onassis at JFK’s funeral.
Modern Liberal Whites are so gullible.
if king was personally flawed, so are we all. one can appreciate his statements about character, if only as rhetorical devices to get to the heart of the matter – if character and merit are anachronisms, then king was wrong, and nothing means anything.
ergo, blm is bullshit.
He was a low life. A plagiarist, communist and sex fiend.
Wake up. And he believed in lots of Civil Rights social engineering: If you have a Black population of 30%, then everything should be 30% Black, qualifications be damned. Affirmative Action – though the phrase didn’t exist yet. Read what he actually wrote or said.
As a Communist and fake Christian, he had nothing against violence. He just knew how weak and gullible Whites had become, and knew that non-violence was the way to go at that point.
Heinrich Himmler was probably a marxist to you, J. So, no biggie.
j – do you know the difference between using a point of view as a rhetorical device and actually believing that point of view?
i am here enough to recognize habitual traits of the habitual posters. i also recognize that you look enough like a cutout instigator to see if anyone will fedpost in reply to one of your cartoonish over the top pro-totalitarian-is-ok-if-its-(nazional sozial-ism).
don’t patronize me boy. you’re a bit smart, but not that smart.
Just in: You didn’t know that about King? Most well informed people do. You’re very late.
At the funeral King said of Jackie: Look how she’s bending over him like she’s gonna give him a blow job.
The real America was mourning. But of course Blacks aren’t part of that and never will be as Jefferson said.
justanotherguy: “if king was personally flawed, so are we all. one can appreciate his statements about character, if only as rhetorical devices to get to the heart of the matter – if character and merit are anachronisms, then king was wrong, and nothing means anything.”
One can be (and IS) badly personally flawed and yet express good and righteous ideas or goals. The flawed nature and the righteous ideas are separate things standing on their own.
The whole idea behind human life is to slowly and surely become better than one was the day before. The fact that all of our flaws will never be corrected does not dampen the necessity nor the pageant of our making the daily quest.
When King talks about content of character, he is also talking about himself. He is not claiming to have elevated character himself. He is speaking only about the standard upon how each of us should be judged. He never says, ‘Follow Me! I am righteous and great!’ He asks us to take the deep dive and look within at the ugliness that lives within us… and then to do something about it.
Personally, it’s just not that important how many admirers he may have entertained in the back seat of his limo. He put his life on the line to stand for unpopular ideas instead of retreating to any easy life of delivering flowery sermons on Sunday that didn’t offend anyone and not accomplishing anything of useful social relevance.
King is not the important thing here. The whole notion of Character is what is critical because it identifies why we are all today living in a World Hell Hole of toxic predators and damaging ideas and personal behaviors towards each other that is killing off meaningful living.
The cause of and answer to every one of our problems today comes down to one thing: Character.
jerki – not that i don’t know, its beside the point.
so reading comprehension is only necessary when it suits that vulgar little snake pit between your ears?
“Content-of-character” is a too out-of-focus term for me albeit well meaning. People should be talking about Justice. About what is fair.
As for these times, you know the planet was stampeded and hyped to go through a vaccination program. It should be clear that both races are in someone’s sight.
Amman: “‘Content-of-character’ is a too out-of-focus term for me albeit well meaning. People should be talking about Justice. About what is fair.”
Justice and Fairness are the results… Quality of Character (Good, Exemplary) is the cause and source of that justice and fairness. And lack of Quality Character is what provides for unfairness and not achieving true justice.
One cannot have true justice and fairness without the Quality of Character preceding for these to spring from.
Mystics and other discerning people long ago realized that everything at its deepest level breaks down into what kind and quality of ‘Spirit’ it has.
Did you see how far down the school’s test scores have dropped? Pathetic!
The big secret is that the Democrats are ecstatic and cheering just another victory sign of the dumbing down of America.
Yes, I have a solution. Get rid of the Department of Education and re-establish the PTA, PTO.
look at obesity, failure, success by race.
obese GIs, by race, how many of each race?
school drop outs?
crime?
Dept. of Education was a Carter Administration creation.
One would think a department of education would be assuring high standards in education and also assuring they are met. Essentially the education department would be expected to list and define the learning objectives within the 3 learning domains (cognitive, affective and psychomotor).
Each learning domain has internal levels. A search of ‘Bloom’s Taxonomy’ will yield the levels.
Around 1980, in my experience, there was a lowering of standards for what I would consider an area of essential work in a society (healthcare). The standards were lowered a few more times over the years. I fail to understand how lowering standards leads to excellence in healthcare.
Lowering standards is a means to satisfy a social agenda. In the area of education, it moves entitled groups through a process. Proficiency, competency and merit don’t have much of a place in this system because they do not have much of a place in the system designers’ plan for outcome. The process, by design, favors some other outcome.
I’ll go along with lowering of test scores in schools. Defining ‘schools’ is another issue. It has many faces.
If I’m correctly carrying this forward, given what has (recent past) and is (current time) being done to ‘education’ is an acceleration of a process begun decades ago.
‘Victory’ ? I think the way you frame it makes for an accurate statement.
I’m not a big government person, thus I think solutions can best be found and implemented at the local level.
The way matters are heading in the US and other locations, we might soon find out.
with all the charisma of a Dampfnudel? – JHK
==========
I marvel, first of all, at the discipline required to crank out two essay gems every week but, secondarily, how in the hell does Jim even know that such a word as Dampfnudel exists?
damp noodle?
I often wonder how he finds all his obscure words. He’s a marvel!
He uses his noodle?
🙂
It is a common German word. Perhaps he opened a dictionary looking for something that resembled the equivalent English word to use in context.
The dialect form is Knödel, and they are actually dumplings, rather than some kind of steamed “noodle.”
Yep.
In the context I think JHK’s choice of “Dampfknudel” works, kind of like wet rag.
But these are actually dumplings.
I love them. They are pretty solid, and stolid.
They are also a good way to use up dried bread, so . . . frugal.

Especially Leberknoedelsuppe.
In Austria the best are Germknoedel, filled with povidel (plum butter):

My wife grew up near the Black Forest, and Knödel and Spätzle are pretty much staples there.
My sister’s in-laws were from Germany, she learned to make a mean Spätzle.
Yum!
Spätzle is still big here in Switz, along with Rösti. It’s funny how every nation has its “poor man’s meal”. In the UK it’s a fried breakfast; in France crêpes, in the Baltics, bilinini…
This is where women shine – in the kitchen. Of course even here men are better if they choose to be.
It’s a shame you don’t shine anywhere.
Even on the blog where you spend all your waking hours.

On the day of Trumps arrival for the clown committee there should be a chorus line of trans people of color on the steps leading up to the clown court, sweets thrown out to the masses as Liza Minnelli sings god bless american. antifa and blm down the street doing their thing. all the while aoc and her gang twerk up the steps in front and around Trump. there would be no greater justice and comeuppance on earth than liberals electing the Golden Golem of greed, the Orange Orge of Outrage, The Ayatollah of Rocken Rolla… Donald John Trump the 45th and 47th President of the United States of Americaaaaaaaaa….lets get readyyyyyy to rumblllllllle…..hahahahhahhah?????
As if Trump would dare to actually show up…watch: he’s already said how ready he is to talk to the J6 Committee (as he was keen to talk to Mueller), and he’s even said he’d do it if it was broadcast live and unedited. If J6 Committee were to agree to that, he’d soon find another fallacious reason (or more likely several reasons, probably contradictory) why he cannot do it. He is a spineless fraud.
If the J6 committee would agree? Of course they would never agree to having Americans hear actual evidence.
The whole reason for the riot in the first place was a Dem/FBI plot to stop the reading of the evidence of the stolen election on nation-wide TV for the first time.
I had friends watching C-Span at that time. They were listening to a congressman putting the evidence out (and into the Congressional Record) when all of a sudden Pelosi and McConnel announced an “emergency” and called off the hearing.
And the Dems kicked dissenting Repubs from the committee, only allowing Repubs like Cheney’s Demon Spawn on it.
What you smoking, boy?
Rednut’s comments are extra ‘special’ today. I am wondering if it’s the clotshot doing its job.
Gee…I’m still waiting for my very own dose of COVID-19. There are reports today that variant 5.75 has arrived on our little island.
Seems to date that my vaccination has been highly effective, even as the ‘crud’ went through my own household a few months back.
Maybe I got the fabled saline shot? Twice? Quite an accident, unless the WEF somehow “picked” me for the fake shot. Woohoo.
Thanks for verifying that the quacksine may be a reason you sound extra unhinged.
My “confirmation” that I have been vaccinated shouldn’t sound like a huge victory in your neverending battle against the WEF & related bullshit. How sad you are.
Other vaccinated people on CFN who have not mentioned that they have ever had the crud are GA, JohnAZ, beantownbill & tusconspur among others (though, of course, I stand to be corrected). Based on that unscientific micro-survey, the vaccine has been “safe & effective”.
I suspect on the global scale – billions of vaccinations – there will be a significant number who have avoided infection and another number who have suffered very little by way of symptoms when infected.
However, you keep on virtue-signaling your heartfelt belief in your own quackery – homeopathy & naturopathy, and probably dancing naked around a fire in the woods with your sisters at midsummer solstice.
hey rl, have you any kids? no?
well the mRNA should bind well to the ACE2 receptors in your gonads, rendering you sterile.
thanks man! slo-mo darwin award for you!
It’s mostly libtards who dance around naked in front of fires, Fake Trae. I’m not into ‘new age’ ‘spirituality’.
I am into naturopathy though, and not a sniffle since the fake hoax began.
I wonder what you make of that?
Whereas my vaxxed & boosted sisters: One has a bad case of so-called Covid (2.5 years later after it was a plandemic and any epidemiologist will tell you viruses work through a population in 70 days), and two now have new immune system disorders. I’m sure it’s all one big coinkydink.
Check out Justin Bieber’s face and his wife’s brain clot.
Just normal for 27 year olds to get brain aneurisms and Bell’s Palsy I guess.
Somewhat disingenuous of you to include me in your supposedly instructive list, Redneck, given that you know my husband collapsed a week after his booster and has been followed up by a cardiologist since. Apparently the cardio thinks he now has POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), which appears to be quite a common consequence of the quacksines.
You are also aware that in my little group of 6 WhatsApp school friends and their families there have been 3 heart attacks plus two instances of SADS (which may also have been heart attacks) following the vaxx rollout, including 4 deaths following the booster.
Sudden Adult Mysteriously Baffling Coincidence Sydrome, obviously. Is there any drivel you won’t believe if it comes from an ‘official’ source?
Also, my brother and his wife, son, daughterin-law and grandchildren only got covid once fully vaxxed. As did one of my daughters. So your individual experience counts as a fraction of my family’s. Not to mention that the UK government’s own ONS statistics show that 94% of covid deaths are in the vaxxed and 91% in the triple-vaxxed, statistics which you never address..
Finally, I’m sure we’d all be delighted to hear your review of that sequence in the Spanish covid documentary that includes the MAC codes emitted by the vaxxed and the myriad photos of nanotech from the vials (published by Professor Campra at the University of Almeria).
odysee.com/@thebigreset:1/ENGLISH:bb
Starts around 1h40, IIRC, but watching the whole thing would be educative, obviously. You could tell us why the Spanish and French scientists and doctors are wrong and you are right, and maybe mention why censoring scientists is a good way to conduct science.
“There are reports today that variant 5.75 has arrived on our little island.”
Do get the bivalent jab. It’s only been tested on 8 mice, so they need all the human lab rats they can get. They will be very grateful.
Green Alba, I used the Dr. Baffled cartoon you linked to on an appropriate facebook post and fb COVERED it and “fact checked” it!
Clown World.
Paula – I searched for ‘Dr Baffled fact check’ and a whole load of them came up.
This is from the Fullfact one:
“The British Heart Foundation says there is no evidence that people are at risk of cardiac arrest in the days or weeks following the vaccine.
It adds: “In the UK, no figures have been published for cardiac arrests in under-18s following the vaccine – which means there have been a tiny number too small to be published, or none at all.”
Seriously.
We can hope.
Correction for Redneck from my longer post above – I should have said the grandchildren weren’t vaxxed (thank goodness), but got covid when their vaxxed parents got it.
I also got fact checked on a Daily Mail screenshot I posted which claimed that Russia was issuing “rape kits’ to its soldiers.
Not content with the Ghaddafi ”Viagra” lie, they claim that Russia is issuing Viagra, plus sex toys, plus torture devices.
Which is a really weird combo to claim, but whatever. If you are a lying propagandist what difference does it make if you make sense.
Anyway, the “fact check” was in Italian, so I have NO idea what they are trying to deny.
@GA. More of the usual whack-job pseudo-science websites as your references. You have more ‘faith’ in UNoffical sources now, whereas you used to be all rational and shit.
My point was – have YOU had the Crud yet? How come you didn’t develop it once Hubby had his secret booster and started shedding his virulent bio-weapon Spike Protein Monsters all over the house?
“…MAC codes emitted by the vaxxed…”
I really cannot express how hilarious this is, nor how sad I am that YOU, GA, a formerly rational person, believe this utter tripe.
Redneck
Please list the factual inaccuracies spoken by the individual scientists in the film. And quit with the idiot-level fact-free generalisations. If they can provide scientific facts, you can provide scientific rebuttals.
“You have more ‘faith’ in UNoffical sources now, whereas you used to be all rational and shit.”
The ONS figures are an official source, and they say (a) that 94% of those dying of covid are vaxxed. And that excess deaths are through the roof since the vaxx rollout. What do you make of those official sources?
Finally, why would you expect my husband’s covid booster to give me covid? It didn’t give him covid – it gave him a heart condition.
I like Mark Crispin Miller’s favourite definition of ‘conspiracy theory’, since you are its living, breathing proof.
‘A conspiracy theory is anything that, if it were true, you couldn’t cope with it.’
Which of these assertions from *official sources* do you believe, Redneck:
– that Iraqi soldiers pulled Kuwaiti babies out of incubators and left them to die on the floor;
– that German soldiers bayonetted babies in WWI;
– that Saddam Hussain had ‘weapons of mass destruction’ to be aimed at the west;
– that getting ‘vaccinated’ against covid would stop transmission (‘saving Granny’ by proxy and justifying mandates, especially in healthcare workers)?
Please address each one separately.
Is DARPA’s own website official enough for you, Redneck?
darpa.mil/program/our-research/darpa-“and-the-brain-initiative
“The ElectRx program aims to help the human body heal itself through neuromodulation of organ functions using ultraminiaturized devices, approximately the size of individual nerve fibers, which could be delivered through minimally invasive injection.”
So, are you claiming the technology doesn’t exist, or that Bill Gates is too angelic to use it?
And, given that Mr Gates didn’t even finish college (he didn’t need to – his grandfather gave him a million dollars when he was born), and doesn’ have an iota of medical training, why exactly do you think he developed an interest in getting experimental substances into the arms of every living human?
For details of his other dalliances with ‘vaccines’, you could watch the MCM interview I linked to. It includes details on the tetanus ‘vaccination’ programme Gates instigated in Kenya. But here’s the weird thing. Firstly, there was no tetanus problem in Kenya. Secondly, they only vaxxed girls and women of childbearing age. Thirdly they gave the women (and girls, some as young as nine) 5 doses of the ‘vaccination’. Abortions and infertility ensued.
All good for our Redneck.
OOf!
You shoulda learned not to mess with G.A., Fake Trae.

Misguided windbaggery. As if Trump – if he DID show up – would not simply lie? He probably couldn’t help himself…but he won’t. Never.

What has he lied about?
@ Justanothertwat & Night-Howler-Monkey:

” No revolution succeeds without help from the upper classes. ”
True , I’m afraid.
But then that is the basic problem.
I’m not a mind – reader , so I cannot claim it as a certainty ,
But I sure get the impression with every revolution that I have studied in the past 500 years that under the mask of bleeding hearts for the peasants and power to the people ,
Was a scam by aristocrats to acquire more privileges for themselves , while discarding more responsibilities.
What lil’ J forgets is that some upper classes are controlled op, just to dupe the little people, and they certainly are not helping any ‘revolution.’
Did I say otherwise? It doesn’t change the principle. You were wrong and you can’t accept it.
There may no be enough aid coming from the upper class. In which case, we won’t succeed. That doesn’t change the principle either – it proves it.
Yeah you said otherwise.
Shamed again, Jarek. Starting to think you like it, much like the freaks in the video I posted below.
Not enough aid?
Add up all the rich.
Not even close to 31 trillion dollars.
Your fascist government idea will never work, here at least.
It costs too much to buy votes.
Obviously most of the Rich are with the Establishment and on board with the Great Reset. That much is obvious. If some are not – or not completely – we’d be fools not to accept their aid.
Your all or nothing approach is simply folly, “Mary”.
Gnat’s gotta gnat.
Look at 2 major “revolutions” in Europe.
The French revolution ended with the total destruction of the French Aristocracy.
The Russian revolution also ended with the destruction of the Russian Aristocracy and much more i.e. the destruction of the intellectual class (“non-communists”) and destruction of the middle class like farmers who were moderately prosperous.
So I don’t think your impression is correct for at least these 2 major cases.
“It was a deadly and paralysing sect that destroyed Russia and plunged it deep into unspeakable misery. We must never cease proclaiming this fact as a warning to other nations in the world, and for the preservation of our own country.” – Winston Churchill
Oh? And which sect was that?
Maybe you know more than you’ve let on. Winnie knew and talked about it – while he was still a man. Before he became a dog.
Just evil men.
Unfortunately a lot, if not all of them, happened to be Jewish and all of them happened to be White.
There were no Black Jews in Russia you see.
Thanks, buddy.
Did you see “The Woman King” yet? I love this movie. It is teaching Blacks their real history: They aren’t morally superior to Whites or anybody else.
Mike Wallace Sr being interviewed: I’m not White, I’m Jewish.
Ye claims that Blacks are Jews too. Where are you on this?
No,will probably miss that one.
But you should ask Kunstler about black Jews. I haven’t thought about such things lately.
I think “revolutions” are usually coups. The instigators’ actual goal is to displace the existing power structure to gain control of it themselves.
It has been said that this was one of the chief motives behind the American Revolution.
Hate for the English king and his damned taxes is explanation enough. So he had to go and he went.

99Cent store. news.
The KIT KAT candy that was 99 cents a few weeks ago is now 1.30.
That got Bernie concerned. The price of candy. Vermonters may freeze in the dark come winter, but as long as they are able to afford candy bars…
BTW the Market Ticker has an article on the energy costs, and it mentions Bernie, and I doubt Bernie Sanders will ever read it, which is sad.
“Here’s reality, like it or not.
That huge spread exists because the government — and not just ours — has declared war on the very reason we have had a rational cost of living for the last one hundred years. It has driven basically all of our advancement in that regard. It is responsible for all of the plastic things you have (look around you), all of the synthetic fibers (your couch, your bed, etc.) your shoes, your computer(s), your cellphones, the Internet and even the shingles on your house without which it rains inside as well as out.”
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=247245
plastic food wrappers, boxes, cups. sick.
there is plastic inside you.
Microplastics, yes.
It seems like I see an *increase* in the use of plastics—for one-serving containers, etc.
These all come from our precious dwindling resource, oil, right?
What happens to our system of food distribution when the oil/plastic runs out?
BTW, last time I was in the Netherlands, admittedly 10 years ago now, I was horrified to see *much more* plastic-packaged food than here!
And one more thing (!!)—correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t the whole “you will eat bugz” and soylent green program rely on a lot of packaging? Not to mention transporting our new highly processed Bugz-kibble portions for humans over long distances by means that rely on FF? Or will donkeys and carts be used to haul the Bugz-kibble?
Or, maybe humans and rickshaws????
Of course at least that would be a job.
But who would actually own the rickshaw.
I digress, but have forgotten, from what . . .
Using precious oil to shrink wrap scissors shows you that humans are Too Stupid To Live.
I agree, Paula.
Been railing for years about everything being encased or wrapped in plastic.
We used to buy produce without needing plastic bags. And still do at farmer’s markets – and yet.
Salad in a plastic bag – yep, people are too stupid to live.
France is even worse than the Netherlands when it comes to plastics and single-serving containers.
Particularly with cookies and snacks, where nearly every item is individually wrapped.
In the near future, when the lesser beings have been herded into high-rise high-density earth-friendly cubes, our nutritious food paste will be pumped, from a tank in the basement, to our 3D printers.
Cartridge lickin’ good!
remember the 1960s? nickel candy. penny candy?
Can’t get anything for a nickel these days, even “dime bags” cost more than that. Biden gets angry about big oil gouging us at the pump, he should get ever angrier at big candy inflating their prices!
Imagine if someone told you in 1965 that the price of a candy bar would be $1.50. You would call him crazy.
The sky really IS falling!
uuuuhhh,
quote from chicken little? you really are a smart little shit aren’t you.
almost had us there.
Sheet. I like Kit Kats. Gonna be priced out.
Marlin, lucky me. I get to hand out candy at the grandchildren’s house on Halloween while they go trick or treating. They live in a nice family neighborhood with lots of children, so their parents buy tons of candy, including Kit Kats. I’ve always eaten a ton of them and Snickers as well. My 2 favorites.
On a more disturbing note further illustrating today’s societal dark side, apparently fentanyl now comes in candy colors and might be dropped into packaging. I read that children shouldn’t eat any candy they get until parents have inspected every bit of candy. What a sick world we live in.
Nestlé poison.
So agree, I can’t believe people eat that crap! It’s like begging for diabetes.
Consumption of Nestlé products is an intelligence test.
FRANCE UNDER MASSIVE ATTACK – “Nuclear Dirty Bomb” is NEXT – PREPARE FOR LOCKDOWNS

The true victims are the Sacklers, whose name has been removed from the Victoria and Albert Museum Sackler Courtyard. The Sacklers are those nice guys who gave us OxyContin, caused 500,000 deaths, paid a couple of billion in fines, and kept 10 billion for themselves.
Clearly, they’re all vicious demonic Democrats, right?
The way I see it the Sacklers are the fall guys who took the focus of the American people from heroin to oxycontin.
No, no, your nephew didn’t die from shooting up heroin brought into the US by the Deep State from their digs in Afghanistan!
That was the evil Sacklers and their oxycontin drug.
The Sacklers are not “fall guys,” whatever else they may be.
If you’d like to know more about the darling Sackler family read Empire of Pain. There was a marketing strategy in place to encourage doctors to prescribe oxycontin for minor pain and reassure them there was a low probability of addiction. Big bonuses for increasing sales in the field.
Opiate addiction is terrible to overcome and oxycontin opened the door wide to invite as many people in as possible. When I worked in detox I had so many people say “but I only took what the doctor told me to.”
The Sacklers are deservedly infamous but probably don’t much care.
I heard a number of family members had changed their name, following the scandal. Presumably not those too directly involved.
Yes, yes, I know. There was a book. There was a made-for-TV movie. There were innumerable articles in mainstream media. There was an all-out court press.
And it’s all because the US ruling class is keen on rooting out criminals and drug providers.
Yeah, right. Keep on believing!
Not to mention, because of all the press on this, people who actually need opioids in order to function or survive are now denied them because of the ‘scare’.
Even though the addiction rate among people who rely on them for pain management is only 4%.
And you believe the Sacklers weren’t part of that “Ruling Class”? And that they were ‘punished’ by their elite buddies because they fucked up? You will do anything to exonerate all and any crime if you can find the flimsiest rationalisation. It boggles the mind. What a doofus.
The beauty of this is that you injected an untested substance mislabeled a vaccine by one of the most criminal pharmacos in world history, and that pharmaco was heavily funded and supported by the Sacklers.
LOL.
gotta say pd, if they had been relieved of the ‘ill gotten’ wealth, it might have looked sincere.
suffering all the way to yacht #3, prolly, but they really got spanked!
I’m not saying they weren’t guilty of pushing drugs.
I’m just saying that going after them served to divert attention away from the massive dumping of heroin into the US.
The three people that I know who died all died from a heroin overdose, not oxycontin.
But that all got ignored while the media shone the light on the Sacklers. It’s like the massive banking crimes of the early 2000s all ignored while they shone the light on Bernie Madoff.
Their guilt or innocence is irrelevant to the diversional hype.
And it certainly worked.
Isn’t that what the CIA calls a ‘limited hangout’? I’m not entirely au fait with US intelligence lingo!
Yeah, I think it qualifies.
Except a limited hangout is when they tell part of the truth to hide the bigger truth.
This still seems like a diversion to me.
Actually, it is also like ‘climate change’.
Ignore ocean acidification and die-off of ocean creatures, ignore topsoil and aquifer depletion, ignore the 6th Mass Extinction, ignore choking air pollution, ignore clearcutting of the tropics, ignore the loss of biodiversity, etc. and focus on a tiny amount of invisible gas instead.
much agreed, with pf and ga above.
all the banksters got from the 2008 collapse was a small fraction of penalty compared with the alex jones ‘settlement’.
brings new life the the term limited hangout – most apropos.
still worried that the description that will be applied to the entirety of durham’s effort – which at this point, seems to hold as much water as the q-tards claims…
Republicans win house- impeach Biden- this drags on and on- by the time Biden is tried they will claim he is too demented to testify- all escape on the left- Harris walks them to the 2024 elections – Grisham is not allowed to even prosecute fish bait let alone minnows- uniparty wins elections as usual- taxes up and freedom down- I hope what I’ve just stated is only a bad dream in retrospect – I love my country for what it used to be-I pray for it’s future.

They are far out in front of it, very far in front of it.
Only thing he is hiding behind is the old canard card, or so charges the ADL.
Who funded BLM, open “voter” initiatives, Anti-Fa, and anti-policing/prosecuting candidates in SF,LA, and Philadelphia?
Who sent a million to Stacey Abrams last week?
Who funded the NGO’s advertising the open borders in America back in their homelands, and who then provided transportation and airport assistance once across it?
Please allow me to introduce him
He’s a man of stolen wealth and poor taste
He’s been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s home and faith
Pleased to help you
Hope you guess his name

Could the answer be . . . Oros-Say?
That’s funny, Neville, because when I wrote my previous comment I was thinking of the saying “the best trick the devil played was convincing people he didn’t exist”.
And then the Rolling Stones song popped into my mind, including the line “Who killed Kennedy? Well after all, it was you and me”.
That was the bullshit line they put out to divert people from the obvious fact that the CIA killed Kennedy, right in the middle of the day, right in the middle of Town Square.
”Oh, no, that didn’t happen. We ALL killed Kennedy”.
I call bullshit.
And I know how many people died of heroin overdoses after the US invaded Afghanistan and let the opium growers out of prison and back in business.
probably provided the seeds and plows, too.

From the Reclaim the Net email feed (which I find to be valuable):
“New Alberta Premier Danielle Smith apologizes for vaccine passports
During the United Conservative party’s annual general meeting, Alberta’s new Premier Danielle Smith is seeking legal advice on pardoning Canadians that got arrested or fined for violating COVID-19 rules such as not having a vaccine passport.
“We are human beings,” said Smith. “We are not QR codes,” she said, adding that she wanted to “purge” the QR database.
[[Related: How vaccine passports are crushing freedom, privacy, and civil liberties]]
“I believe that Alberta Health Services is the source of a lot of the problems that we’ve had,” she said.
“They signed some kind of partnership with the ***World Economic Forum*** [[ding ding ding]] right in the middle of the pandemic; we’ve gotta address that. Why in the world do we have anything to do with the ***World Economic Forum?*** That’s got to end [[[Yes yes yes.go, Danielle!!]].
“The things that come to top of mind for me are people who got arrested as pastors (and) people given fines for not wearing masks,” Smith said. “These are not things that are normal to get fines and get prosecuted for. I’m going to look into the range of outstanding fines and get some legal advice on which ones we are able to cancel and provide amnesty for.”
Smith also doubled down on her promise to amend the Human Rights Act to ban discrimination based on Covid vaccination status. She said the amendment would focus on Covid vaccines because the issue is not medical, it is political.
“Since it was a very specific reaction to a very specific vaccine mandate, we’re going to be very precise when we write the legislation,” she said.
“We have to get back to an attitude of ‘you take a vaccine to protect yourself.’
“[But] we have to get away from this attitude that you demonize those who make a different choice.”
Smith is a vocal opponent of vaccine passports and mandates, especially the Alberta Health Services (AHS) for not allowing people to work if they are not vaccinated against Covid. According to the premier, people not vaccinated against Covid are the most discriminated against she has seen in her life.
Smith vowed to reorganize the AHS governance system and fire the entire board.
“The system, my friends, is broken,” she said. “Most of those managing AHS today are holdovers from the NDP years. They have had their chance to fix this bloated system and they have largely failed on almost all accounts. Failure is no longer an option.”
++++++++++++
Along with keeping track of WEF-pet politicians we can also keep track of those who have speciically called out the WEF like this.
AFAIK this is the first actual public calling out and questioning of the claws the WEF has sunk into governments, including “regional.” WEF “penetration” as Schwab put it.
I am not a huge fan of dissing penetration generally (I am being oblique), but WEF “penetration” of any government at any level IS a crime against democracy and citizens’ and a sovereign state’s rights.
Here is a link to the agreement Smith mentions:

Keep in mind that the freak Dylan I linked above is in here. If you think there is nothing to the trans agenda, why was Dylan interviewing the president?
The trans agenda is not really a transsexual agenda from the perspective of the media and WEF machine pushing it.
It is a stepping stone on the path to Transhumanism.
Procreation must be eliminated, as it is “bad for Mother Earth,” and population sizes must be managed on the digital plantation.
Exactly, and at the same time, making sure that women are dehumanized and all our rights stripped away, and making that palatable to the public at large. It is working, as TRA (men) are protected at protests and rallies, and women are allowed to be attacked.
This is why men have no right to have rights. It’s bad enough that some men want to put their business inside women and some women are submissive enough to let them. but this is bridge too far. Now the filthy animals don’t just want to touch and penetrate women’s bodies, they actually want to become them – to become human – and that cannot be allowed.
Feminism was supposed to put and keep these beasts down. Instead they are rebelling like on the island of Dr Moreau. The good beasts who know their place have to deal with the bad beasts who are trying to become human.
So you watched it and side with the pervs and freaks?
Not surprised at all. At least you watched it!
Mary admits that she sees men as animals.
LMAO! You’ve really gone off the deep end.
We are all animals, Jarek.
We are great apes & mammals.
When you look at this through a wide angle lens, the Illuminati is using the same playbook, to wit- in 1939, ethnic Germans were persecuted and killed in Gda?sk, a German enclave. Today, ethnic Russians are/were being persecuted and killed in the Donbass. Both circumstances called for a justified invasion.
Hitler was vilified by the west as a madman, Putin is vilified by the west as a madman.
But here’s where it veers off- it wasn’t enough for Hitler to take back German territories lost in the Treaty of Versailles- Mein Kamph influenced Hitler to push on, taking western lands France, Netherlands, Belgium. and southern lands.
What will Putin do once he conquers THE Ukraine? Will he similarly keep going as Hitler did? What are his orders?
The Russians have their own version of Mein Kampf called Foundations of Geopolitics, by Aleksandr Dugin- it outlines the aspirations of a pan-Russian state “from Dublin to Vladivostok, and from the Arctic to the Indian Ocean.” This book gave a new breath into the theoretical reconstruction of the Russian Empire and gained praise and wide acceptance among the Russian military and governing elite, including Putin himself, a WEF global leader alumni and himself part of an eastern Illuminati bloodline.
Putin will NOT see success if he intends to carry this out, just as Germany did not see success, and it’s because the full economic might of the west (war is economic) was against Hitler.
Putin and Russia similarly face the full economic might of the west- and will eventually be starved out, as they say, just as the Germans were.
I am not writing this because i side with the criminal Satanic West, aka the western Illuminati cabal. I’m writing it only point out that all this demonstrates a stark similarity in events that both started and ended WW2 and a depopulation agenda that existed between..
Point by Point it’s the same, and it will end the same with one exception: the implicit rise of the New World Order.
OMG that film is pretty freaky.
I have no doubt but that most trans-women are sick. Trans-men seem slightly less sick but OTOH they are probably at significantly greater risk from men whereas trans-women present a risk TO real women.
My great-nephew is at a private school, and has expressed to his mother that he does not like being around gays and trans kids. Because they keep talking about themselves. I suppose they talk about being trans, and their identity issues, or whatever.
IMO a 15-year-old boy does not have to be exposed to this s—t. My niece-in-law says that she has explained to him that they do not feel understood and “heard.”
I was speechless. My great-nephew has no obligation to pretend to be interested in kids who do not interest him. Part of growing up is realizing that people who talk too much about themselves, for whatever reason, are BORES.
A 15-year-old has zero obligation to provide these mixed-up kids with talk therapy. My niece-in-law thinks she is “explaining” things to me when she talks about people feeling misunderstood. It amazes me how earnest she is about explaining this to me. Total Kool-Aid drinker.
I think the situ is sick and I plan to write to my great-nephew and let him know what I think:
“You have no obligation to like or understand or listen to any kids who annoy you or who have problems that you don’t want to hear about. Just smile and walk away.”
The problem is that it sounds as though these kids infest activities that he would like to participate in.
I would love to know how many trans-kids there are this school. I think I’ll ask him if he knows. Also, are they all trans-girls or are there also some trans-boys. This whole trans agenda is really nuts.
This comment was supposed to be a reply to MQ’s and the film she linked.
As for Kemo Sabe’s screed, what Dugin says is not a basis for speculation about Putin.
Putin is not Hitler, and not WEF, BTW.
He is in a similar situation. How can anyone not see it?
He may well fare better though. Kemo is leaving out the economic powers on board with Russia.
How is he in a similar situation? The events up to and including the present are in almost no way similar.
NATO didn’t even exist when Hitler took power, nor was there a hegemon sucking up territory on his border and training one of the world’s largest militaries.
What are you even talking about?
German citizens were being killed in a part of Germany that had been given to Poland as war booty.
Similarly, Russian citizens were being killed in place that was once part of their domain.
Hitler acted for his people. Putin acted for his.
Now even larger forces are forming to extend the conflict. Putin faces the possibility of an invasion from the West. Similarly, Russian Communist forces were massing for an invasion of Germany. Hitler struck first. Putin may do the same. After all, to always be on defense is to be predictable – a fatal flaw in war, feminine sensibilities be damned. There are more important things than catering to spinsters after all; things like winning and survival, don’t you agree?
Neither of those two things have anything to do with what we are talking about Jarek.
So, back to square one. What about Putin and Hitler’s situation is similar?
Another item to add, the USSR is not Weimar. Things are economically dandy.
Should read Russia, not USSR.
Your turn.
I laid it out above. The variables are the largely the same but reversed. With Russia playing the role of Germany, fighting for Western Culture against That Hideous Strength known as the New World Order.
Except your scenario made no sense, as Weimar Germany was nothing like modern-day Russia.
No, Weimar had already been overthrown by the Nazis. They fought the antifa mano a mano, suffering more than twenty thousand casualties and over 300 deaths. But they triumphed. Americans would have done the same, but unlike Germany, the central Government was too strong and completely on their side.
You have gone off on your own tangent now.
There are no similarities of import between Weimar or modern-day Russia. Neither economically or politically.
The fact that Putin is in part also fighting Nazis makes this quite amusing, however.
I just said I wasn’t talking about Weimar. You don’t seem to have any grasp of history at all.
Mene mene tekel, upharsin
Your stock has gone down. Your kingdom has been weighed and found wanting.
You have not answered the question.
I know why.
Your great-nephew is smart and self-secure. It’s sad his mom is telling him to kow-tow to absolute narcissism in practice. I’m glad he has you.
It’s a real coincidence, but earlier tonight I talked with my nephew about my 15 year old great nephew. He’s an artistic type, hates math but loves illustrating. Luckily for him, he’s not socially active and has no interest in the woke philosophy (according to my nephew). He’s turning 16 in March and is mostly interested in getting his drivers license and a car. He has no concept of costs of things, which tends to freak my nephew out because he does not want to have to buy his son a car – which would probably be newer and uncomfortably expensive. He’s going to start working on his son to get a job. His high school friend works at Chic Fillet (sp), so maybe he’d want to work there.
Unfortunately, the poor kid is going to have to learn about the real world the hard way.
When I was 16 it never occurred to me to own a car. Very few kids that age had them. I had enough friends so that when we wanted to go out, one of the kids’ parents (including mine) would get the family car for the night. Mornings, I walked to school – a little over a mile away. I also worked weekends at a car wash as a car wiper and vacuumer (at $1.05/hr) to earn a few bucks, but I never thought about saving up the money to buy a car. Boy, are times different.
At that age, I lived in an area where many people were extremely well to do – I would compare it to someplace like Martha’s Vineyard, except without the loathesome Democrats. Even among the rich kids, there were very few cars. Nobody I knew, rich or poor, expected to have a car.
Cars are especially dangerous to teenagers. They crash them regularly.
My first two kids had no interest in driving and I was fine with that.
My third wanted to drive so I let him drive my F150 on special occasions. It didn’t go over 80mph and was built like a Ford truck so I thought he’d be safe.
And then one night I was working in the ER and took a call about a bunch of kids in a car crash.
And then the paramedic told me one of them was mine.
In my memory I remained professional and calm.
But some years later a woman came up to me and told me she was the mother of the driver but she was always afraid to talk to me before. Afraid of me? I am a small woman. Why would anyone be afraid of me? And then she told me the details of the crash, which neither the cops nor the paramedics had told me.
It was WAY worse than they let on.
And then my son was reminiscing about the crash and he said that he was lying in the back of the ambulance strapped to a backboard and he could hear me yelling over the radio.
Oops. That explains why everyone lied to me.
Anyway, cars are dangerous. The older the teenager the better, but it’s best to keep them out of cars until they are adults.
Paula, excellent advice — advice I could have used as a teenager.
OMG, Paula, what a terrible experience.
Nightmare, really.
Sort of like coming home when there is a fire in the neighborhood and realizing that it is your house that is burning to the ground. Which happened to a friend.
But of course hearing about your son’s accident was worse.
So where is normal America? And how large is it?
There are many Americas. At least nine. The question today is can they coexist. BTW , Washington DC is one of the Americas.
Unfortunately there will be many casualties before this Freak Show blows over, tens of thousands of mutilated young people, who, when they realized that what has been done to them is irreversible, will become regretful & bitter — and looking for revenge.
Yes. So far, the detransitioners whose lives have been wrecked are acting pretty meekly because they get beat up by the trans community when they dare to defy it by claiming that transing is NOT the answer to their woes. So they get re-victimized.
This is where lawsuits are gonna come in real handy.
I know of 3 women who started law school this fall just so they can help de-transitioners.
I can hardly wait for the lawsuits, though if they’re just starting law school, by the time they finish there may be no law to invoke anymore. I’d love to hear the arguments made in court as to why cutting off healthy organs is a desirable response to the trials and tribulations of childhood and adolescence. They get away with this crap on twitter, where they can just cry about hurt feelings and imaginary rights, but I don’t think that would wash in court.
LOL! De-transitioners. The NEXT wave of utter ridiculousness. Pretty hard to empathize with someone that fucking stupid. “You cut off what? In exactly what world did you even possibly imagine that was a good idea?”
Dis, I do sympathize with them because kids are kids, and vulnerable, and they had a full-court-press campaign pushing them into this shit. And the worst part of it was the agenda makes sure to drive a wedge between them and their parents, so the parents don’t even know it’s happening until it’s too late.
Rowdy, there will be a shit-ton of lawsuits in 3-4 years. That’s when MILLIONS will be at that stage of “what the hell have I done to myself and who’s gonna pay?”
Revenge? Show me one Idiot-revenge story.
I think it’s a great idea for you to write to him, Islander.
He probably has never been exposed to normal people and normal human interaction. You will be a good role model.
OK, I am gonna write to him.
I don’t know this great-nephew as well as I know the elder one. The latter is much more receptive.
But I have sent both of them little Sony recorders to (I hope) help them with their college/school work (record lectures/classes). This model gets very high marks at Amazon:

Excellent, glad you are doing this. 🙂
One point, it was France & Britain that declared war on Germany, prompting the Germans to move west.
Declared war “in defense of Poland”. How’d that work out for ya Poland?
Poland, after picking the wrong side of most wars: “D’oh!!”
(I am half Polish so I can make fun of them)
They’re doing it again.
Although….
“Yes, TASS reported that just this past Wednesday Polish mercenaries in the Liman area resisted going on the attack after a series of similar failed attacks and a group of Ukrainian nationalists was sent to sort them out. From TASS’s report, it looks as if the Polish mercenaries killed ALL of these Ukrainians.”
Although….
” the fact that the Polish mercenaries killed so many of these nationalists suggests the mercenaries are not just independent soldiers of fortune but a well-organised force, probably even sent by the Polish government. This itself would imply that Poland is investing considerable resources in this conflict and hopes to gain much from it – such as territory in northwest and west Ukraine that Warsaw has long coveted and considered its own (which once upon a time it was, over 200 years ago).”
So at least perhaps Poland is more wily than I gave them credit for.
“Putin and Russia similarly face the full economic might of the west- and will eventually be starved out, as they say, just as the Germans were.”
What economic might?
Russia has vast resources and what appears to be a sound economy, both of which much of the West is reliant upon. They also have powerful friends, while our allies are as weak as we are. In every imaginable way, from the support of their own people to their non-woke military to their alliances and to their resources, they have the
West beaten hands down. “Full economic might” indeed. We’re broke, needy, corrupt, and infested with freaks and perverts. We can’t even control crime in our own filthy cities, yet less take on Russia.
Starved out, lol.
Kimmasad has a weird mixture of US propaganda and Q propaganda going on there.
People used to quote some Native American to the tune of
“When the LAST tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money”,
But damned if these idiots STILL can’t understand the basics of life.
Putin had to school them in his speech to the tune of You can’t eat money and you can’t burn computer bytes to keep warm.
Did anyone listen? I’m thinking not.
That’s what happens when people are so far removed from reality that they don’t understand that money can’t make resources appear. And that humans cannot magically create real resources with “human ingenuity”, as they like to put it.
KesaAnna said, “The idea that marriage is based on romantic love and individual sentiment is a product of the Era of cheap coal and petroleum.”
Jacob promised to work digging coal for Laban seven years to marry Rebekah. But he got hornswaggled into marrying Leah because she was oldest. Then he worked another seven years on Laban’s fracturing crew, so he could marry Rebekah. Promoted to herdsman [ too old for oilfield work ] he spent the next seven years breeding cattle at which he was very successful. A real romancer.
She once said something along the lines of
They wish Hell politely. I wish Heaven with insults.
The Eagle has landed.
she didn’t say the Eagle has landed. I said that.
What if Rebekah found him repulsive?
It’s stunning just how publically the GOP, in the satanic form of Kevin McCarthy, has announced its “plan” for the US if he is elevated to Speaker after the mid-terms (of course, he won’t be, because, according to the denizens of CFN the Democrats will ‘fix’ it, right?).
This plan includes the idiocy of “shutting down the federal government” through the debt ceiling IN ORDER to FORCE the Democrats to agree to slash Social Security & Medicare. For real? Huh?
I’m only surmising but I would suspect that a significant number, and possibly the majority, of CFNers will be in this category, so “voting against your own interests” is the continuing behaviour of the CTNJ wing.
If the Democrats resist and the Federal Govt goes into default, that will be an existential threat to the political hegemony of the US and to the status of the US Dollar as the global reserve currency. If you don’t like inflation now, you’re going to hate it then, once the Red Hats start fucking around in every aspect of what actually matters, because of this group’s mass psychosis expressing frustration over the self-invented “Culture Wars”.
Gees,
You sound like a Democratic TV ad.
I read what McCarty and other GOPers are saying and you are right, they are going to shut down Biden’s spending plans what ever the cost, including shutting down the government.
It is about f*&king time.
Do you Leftists think that the government is a wealth machine? The government has never, repeat never created one dime of wealth. Money, by itself, is not wealth. Money backed by production is wealth. That is why we are inflating, just running the presses ALWAYS causes inflation. Government spending to solve all problems causes inflation. Vote buying causes inflation. Democrats cause inflation.
Your words, “slash social security and Medicare”are bullshit. Trimming years and capping it at 90 is not slashing. The fact is, people are living longer and SS needs to adjust to that.
Honestly, I do not even believe that the US dollar should have hegemony over anything, the way the Deep State has mismanaged everything. Our politics suck, the more the current group are destroyed by the vote, the better.
In every aspect of government performance, the Dem Deep State have just about destroyed America in two damn years. Look at Biden’s bragging rights.
Lots of jobs, uh huh. We had to kick minimum wage to $15 because the crappy jobs that are left after the Obama/Biden housecleaning could not support anybody. That is why a McDonalds trip is $20 now for two. Restaurant have fired half their waitstaffs and it still costs $40 for a meal. Lots of jobs? NOT, and just wait until Powell’s inflation control starts to bite. I hope every person laid off voted for Biden in 2020.
Abortion, the only campaign issue left to the Dems is legit. Half the country thinks it is murder, the other thinks it is birth control. The compromise, if it ever happens, will be a definition of a fetus as a citizen by the state, and consequent protection under the law. Fifteen weeks for a heartbeat, 22 weeks for viability? R Vs. Wade is dead, forget about it, Biden is right here, codifying a reasonably moral compromise is needed, not the wishes of a death cult like Planned Parenthood.
Tell me this, why is Planned Parenthood so wonderful and the Dems want to fund it with tax dollars, but the Parenting clinics that help mothers adjust to their situation and support adoption are cursed.
A true representation of the morality decline in America, heck the whole world.
He IS a Democrat TV ad.
Other Thoughts on Shit:
Since I’ve been a regular on CFN for more than 14 years I’ve learned how not to be greatly bothered by negative remarks about my comments or personality. And so, being told that I’m Vulgar by tom clark and childish (or some such word) by SSL is pretty much water off a duck’s back.
Here’s the thing about shit… we all do it, and it’s foul, and everybody’s shit stinks. All humans who have ever lived are in agreement about shit… whether human shit or the shit of other beings. I can’t think of any other topic on which we humans are in such universal agreement. We hate shit.
Therefore it is the perfect word to attach to other words to express negativity or to use as a disparagement emphasizer. Nobody has a positive view about shit. Who among us hasn’t unknowingly stepped in dog shit only to discover after the fact from its foul odor that there is a big clump of it squished between the heel and sole of our shoe.
Many of us at one time or another have had bird shit land on our shoulder or, worse yet, on our bare head. (I am reminded of the question, What’s that white stuff in chicken shit? and its answer, That’s chicken shit too.) Birds are one of those animals that can shit while doing something else, viz. flying. They don’t need to stop and perch on a tree limb to do their business although they could and often do. I suspect when they dump out in flight they are not even conscious of it. And neither are horses who can walk along pulling a cart and defecate at the same time. No problem. Cats, dogs and humans are different. They need to stop moving and assume a position. Fish just void as they swim along.
Every living thing (excluding plant life which is a whole ‘nother topic) needs to consume food, process it and, with the aid of oxygen and bacteria, break it down and burn it as fuel. The problem is, not all of what is consumed gets burned. The unburned food passes along a lengthy digestive tract and ends at the rectum along with associated foul smelling gasses all of which must be expelled. The frequency of defecation, the nature of the excrement, (constipated, soft, diarrhea-ish) and all the ills and issues surrounding it have been studied exhaustively and are a major field in biology. Shit is nasty. But, what’s foul to one is fair to another and thus we have the phenomenon of flies on shit. Apparently they love the stuff. I wonder if there is any creature that burns up and turns to energy every molecule of what it has eaten and thus has no need to poop. I doubt it.
Derogatory names and phrases on Q’s Shit List have lexicographic first cousins that don’t contain the word shit but are equally as pejorative as shit due to their close proximity to it. The perfect example would be “asshole.” No one wants to be known as an asshole but every driver who cuts you off or nearly causes an accident is invariably called an asshole from the safety of your car’s interior. You will speed up to get next to this driver and stare just to see what such an asshole looks like and with luck the unsafe driver will glance at you just long enough for you to angrily point and mouth the word “asshole” for him to lip read. Gay males who practice anal intercourse with their butt buddies are known as “fudge packers.”
Before the advent of indoor plumbing and the toilet, holes were dug in the ground near but not within people’s actual living space and a small shack was erected over it with a board at chair height in which a hole had been cut so that people could sit and defecate. The shack’s interior was perpetually putrid. Your grandparents claim that thick out-of-date Sears Catalogs were kept in these “outhouses” and their pages used as toilet paper. Asian Indians were notorious for defecating anywhere without even benefit of an outhouse. For more vivid descriptions read the novels Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and An Area of Darkness by V.S. Naipaul.
The mostly unwritten history of shit goes back as far as life itself. Human culture and shit’s place within it makes for a subject worthy of interest, study and comment and thus there exists Q’s Shit List.
In perusing the book, “Crip Zen” about how to be a cool cripple, the author stated that many people who depend on others to help them on the toilet become vegetarians to less the offensive smell of their feces.
I moved and lost the book before giving it the reading it deserved.

I myself have noticed that the consumption of read meat results in noticeably stinkier shit but I could never convert to vegetarianism.
red meat
In the movie The Last Emperor, the physician would check his feces every day to see if his diet was right.
The consumption of red meat has been credited with advancing humanity by boosting brain size due to the range of vitamins, minerals and proteins it offers.
I would advise that you deal with the smell and continue on.
q, nicely done. not least because this video is absolutely hilarious and rounds out your learned dissertation nicely.

Very nice dissertation, Q. Man!
Yeah, shit stinks and meat eaters shit stinks so much it makes people gag. (Even nurses).
But to old time farmers, the smell of a newly manured field was great.
“That smells like money!” was the phrase used.
Maybe you could add it to your list.
rotting
putrefaction
Basically, you’re pooping out part of a corpse so, yeah.
Just imagine the bacteria that grows on rotting corpses inside your gut.
No wonder it stinks so bad.
Yuck to the nth degree.
I guess now it’s been 14 years since I last ate meat. And even then, no red meat for maybe 10 years before that.
I don’t miss it.
“Therefore it is the perfect word to attach to other words to express negativity or to use as a disparagement emphasizer.”
Yeah, but, shit is not something I’m comfortable with coming out of my mouth. Nor do I want it to be on a piece of paper I hand to someone else – physically or electronically.
Meanwhile… I used to work with a vegetarian who, like too many divers, would urinate in her wetsuit. (Thinking that it magically disappears into the ocean – no, it stays close to home.) Maybe you vegetarians’ poop don’t stink, but your pee more than makes up for it.
She musta ate a lot of asparagus.
OH yeah that’ll stink up the joint.
1 weird vegetarian thinks peeing her drawers is OK so we’re all stinky folks with urination problems? LOL.
Ok, so it’s a rather small data set from which to extrapolate…
A lot of scuba divers pee in their wetsuits. Some profess to enjoy the warmth – of course I’d ask them, “So if you’re really cold, do you poop in your wetsuit?” And then there’s just something about being in a situation where doin’ your business isn’t possible, that makes your body decide it’s time to pee.
How are you going to pee if you’re trapped in a wetsuit for hours?
I’d pee in it, too. You can wash it later.
Urine is not the worst thing to get on yourself. Hell, some people believe in drinking it.
Q…just wait ’til Minnesota beats the shit outta Ruckers next Saturday. But even if they don’t, it’s just water off a duck’s back in a world where anything goes and nothing matters. Right?
Minnetonka’s reeling of late and Ruckers is coming off a rare Big Ten home win, Lil’ T. I wouldn’t be so sure. Not to mention Ibrahim still can’t figure out how his own name’s pronounced.
excerpted from Gregory Hood on Amren:
Why did “dense urban centers” empty out after World War II? Why did people suddenly want to live in the suburbs?
In 1948, the Supreme Court ruled against “restrictive covenants” in Shelley v. Kraemer. This prevented white neighborhoods from staying white. In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled against segregated schools in Brown v. Board of Education. Courts ordered “forced busing,” often against the opposition of parents and children. The options were expensive private schools, homeschooling, or moving away. Entire neighborhoods were gutted.
Christopher Caldwell argues in The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 established a “rival Constitution, with which the original one was frequently incompatible — and the incompatibility would worsen as the civil rights regime was built out.” Freedom of association and the freedom to use your own property the way you want were abolished. Any private transaction, if handled incorrectly, could open you up to a civil rights charge. Just ask the Christian baker Jack Phillips, who is again being sued for refusing to bake a cake celebrating “transgenderism.”
Integration does not single-handedly explain the growth of suburbs. However, the reason mass transportation, infrastructure, and public safety are worse in many cities than they were a century ago is because, demographically, they are more like Wakanda.
Mr. Cillizza praises the bike lanes in Europe, but several American cities have bike-sharing plans. In San Francisco, people keep stealing the bikes and the activist solution is not to call the police. In Baltimore, the city abandoned sharing after so many bikes were stolen or wrecked. Sharing works only in high-trust societies, and diversity destroys trust, even within races, not just between them. Thus, even small-scale ideas such as using bikes in cities make more sense in fantastic realms than in American cities.
Jarek: Interesting. Does Mr Kunstler’s early work on the mass exodus to the suburbs address the racial angle at all? I’ve only read excerps of his earlier writings prior to The Long Emergency. Mumford didn’t really go into it, but he was writing in the early stages of it.
My family fled Boston because of minority encroachment to be sure.
Mr Hood admits that other factors were in play, such as crowding, congestion, etc.
Imagine not calling the police because the thief is of a special race. Such Whites long for death and He will come for early. Service!
The bike sharing scheme was tried twice in Hartford, both times with disastrous results. At first it was pedal bikes painted lime green, the idea being bikes were barrowed for a period of time to get around the city, then left in a designated location. It was a system based upon trust. It didn’t take long before all the bikes were stolen, mostly for sale at scrapyards. The second attempt was with electric bikes, which gave mobility to esteemed ‘Urban Residents’, which they used to ride out into the suburbs and commit armed robberies. Those bikes, too, were quietly withdrawn.
Yeah, ok. But what about the larger issue: To what degree did the great Black migration to the north lead to White flight?
Well things were pretty good in Hartford until the early to mid 60s when a group of Harvard activists came to town and demanded forced busing within city limits to get black students into neighborhood schools thru out the city. That’s when my town, for example, almost all Protestant Yankees, began seeing ethnic white families show up, buy houses, enroll in our school etc. Suddenly we had Irish, Italian, Jewish, Polish, French Canadian and Scandanaivian people amongst us. It all worked out pretty good, everybody got along.
Because they were all White Christians AND they had already been assimilating for awhile AND because they face a common enemy in the Schwartzes.
Absent those factors, things have no always been so rosy. Boston Mayor Kevin White talked about fighting the Italians as a youth.
White? That doesn’t sound very Irish, does it. Another Kerry Irishman?
I shook Kerry’s hand at a wedding once.
Agenda 21. confine peeps in ‘smart’ cities and carless.

Comedy gold.
Great stuff. What I love most about Alex is that he doesn’t kow-tow even to his own audience. He listens to his own inner voice. He pisses off conservatives almost as much as liberals.
They look like a 3rd Reich rally – lol.
Yeah she hated him and probably wished her spittle could kill.
You’ve never experienced such feelings of course, right?
Correct.
I’ve never been driven insane with hate, like you and that woman.
I don’t believe you.
That woman was Jarek, you jerk.
My bad, Night Owl. I pictured Jarek as having a really bad transwoman presentation. Like lots of 5 o’clock of shadow, bad make-up application, cheesy wig and clashing outfit.
It must be hell for Night Owl when two female tyrants he has bonded with have a fight. He must feel like the world is ending and he is being torn apart. Perhaps much like sun worshipers during an eclipse.
Uh, oh.
Many healthy, successful and well-adjusted males up here refuse to call all women insane and evil.
Jarek’s world is collapsing.
I have bonded with many women, Jarek.
And I do not regret it.
This is part of what heterosexual men do.
How about your mother in law? Have you bonded with her?
Mentally or physically?
Would the latter excite you in your old age?
@NightOwl hahahahaha
You said heterosexual, so you implied sexuality. Learn to use language better.
It had a dual meaning.
Too subtle?
Old age has not been kind to you.
No, it’s a Trump rally, jerk. You got your wires crossed again.
It’s libs at Penn State. Nothing to do with Trump.
Delusional much?
Or nazis, jerk.
Temper, temper, old fool.
Also… a bunch of them have masks so obviously covid19 death culters who believe that you kill someone by breathing on them but yet that one woman spit on him.
So insane!

Yes, so many women are insane. They are the backbone of protest “culture”.
LOL, what a caricature you’ve become.

Gosh it really seems like a lot is going on in one moment and there isn-t enough hours in a day. The Rishi Sunak story is a strange one for sure since he is now Prime Minister but nobody voted for him. The British system sounds more annoying then ours and that is really saying something ok. But honestly, they keep saying he is Britain’s first non white Prime Minister but basically he does look white or white adjacent. And he is apparently a selected WEF globalist darling child. So its sorta difficult to see what is groundbreaking about all of this because the primary agenda continues its forward slog.
And i absolutely do take issue with a certain implication because in all actuality a dumpling can have an awful lot of charisma!
So my last thought from my tired brain lol is that I have heard a theory as well that the Durham investigation was never really about prosecutions or perp walks and that impressions of that kind were intentional mind games to distract. The purpose is to get things on record that can be easily reexamined and relitigated in a more opportune time and space. I dunno. The whole Durham thing is exhausting at this point. I mean, im in love with the spooky Halloween stuff lol. But it would be really great if the Durham thing would mean that the demons and monsters were rolled up once and for all. The hope is pleasant and if it doesn’t its no disappointment as there wasn’t an expectation.
Technically, he wasn’t elected as PM, just as Tory party leader. The PM position comes by default, as they’re in power.
Labour could try to demand an election, but Starmer is no better – another NWO guy through and through. So, with Labour we’d get the same thing, with a leader who’d put people to sleep just by talking, but with more incompetence. Although incompetence can be a good thing, I dare say, if it slows down the achievement of a bad agenda. They gave a fortune to Baroness Di[l]do Harding to manage the track and trace system and, leaving aside the shocking amount of money that disappeared down a black whole, it was gratifyingly shambolic.
When I wrote my previous post on Rishi, my brain was almost subconsciously deciding whether to call him Sunak or Rishi and it popped out Sushi. I quite like that, as he’s definitely fishy.
Anyway, I don’t think Sushi-[H]unt will hang about in terms of the agenda.
Let’s hope Sunak is Soon Out. What a globalist creep! And his father in law is some Indian billionnaire. Obviously, a man of the people! What’s terrifying is that there is nobody – absolutely nobody – who is any better on either side of the political divide. And that’s not just the UK, but everywhere. That’s why elections won’t change a damn thing.
is nigel absolutely out? yesterday’s news of course, but…
LOL interesting use of poetic license! I heard Nigel Farage and others say that the globalist coup is complete now in the UK. Why did Boris decide not to step back in? There were lots of mumblings it seems just a few days ago that he was going to step back into the PM position. Do you think the globalists paid him off or threatened him not to?
Boris “I threaten 18 year-olds with the loss of their social life if they don’t get the vaccine” Johnson. Screw him.
True. But a majority of 18-year-olds apparently obeyed because they did not want to lose anything. So yes. Boris is a donkey for sure. But the sheep are responsible as well.

St. Louis finally had its first national news school shooting! I was driving around doing lawncare per usual when i heard it on the radio. A reporter said, an entire class of students jumped out of a 3rd story window. Breaking ankles instead of getting hit by bullets.
Only two died but I think the terror is in knowing how much worse it could have been. And all the students, teachers, parents, etc. will remember that from now on. Life is a clown show with consequence.
We didn’t normalize school shootings but it has happened anyway; now media fatigue.
My opinions about guns have changed, meaning, I want one now. We have a crazy problem.
I have no faith in humanity based on the madness I see already permeating my environment. I watch drugged out homeless creatures wander past my back alley, I don’t even think of them as humans anymore which is a tragedy. I I don’t care, i don’t have the patience or conscience for it. And I know it will get worse as real reality manifests itself.
I will fight to the death my drumset and karaoke laptop.
I don’t imagine that the media is fatigued at all in regard to school shootings. The particular color of this perpetrator however is not within the narrative they wish to weaponize against the public so therefore this shooting is not receiving much attention at all. If the shooter had advanced Caucacity however it would likely be all we would be hearing about right about now with calls from every corner of the media for new legislation to confiscate and limit gun purchases and criminalization of Republicans, etc. But you are right. It is a very tired and sick scheme and scam. And they want everyone to devalue life and particularly human life, so it appears that is working well.
You’d think they’d be bored with school shootings by now. Not much trend-setting going on in that event anymore.
Now some nerds cooking up some shit in the chemistry lab and poisoning the whole school followed by some crazy manifesto posted online might really get some attention!
It’s probably not “media fatigue” with school shootings, so much as it’s the media policy against reporting black-on-black crime. You’re not supposed to talk about it. And as far as that goes, no one really wants to hear about it either. Black violence is not news.
Same, changed my opinion about guns. Got one few weeks ago. There is way too many crazies around ere, and whole lot of ’em got a gun. So why should I not have one?
Well, ladies and germs;

It has been around for along time.
Wonder if the Covid test can be positive with this virus? Like the flu!
Think about what we are seeing and hearing. One virus after another. Covid is no longer “scary” enough to control people with, PTB have to find something else.
And seriously, how many “new” viruses need jabs for control and how many jabs can be tolerated before serious changes happen to the immune system, ie, how many different antigens can the memory banks of the immune system “remember”? What would overloading do? Do you think anyone knows? You will never get anything out of the weaponized CDC!
Biden got his today, now we can hope.
Yes, let’s hope the news breaks soon that Biden died peacefully and unexpectedly from unknown causes on the rocking chair in the upper bedroom of the White House, while enjoying a scoop of his favorite ice cream flavor.

Former Defense Secretary Ashton Carter dies unexpectedly at 68
Carter died of a “sudden cardiac event” on Monday night in Boston.
He served as secretary of defense under former President Barack Obama from February 2015 to January 2017.
He was survived by his wife and two children, Ava and Will.
That’s the 4th ‘died suddenly’ I’ve seen since Friday.
I guess they’re really starting to drop like flies, huh?
One was an actor who was on Will & Grace, one was a radio announcer who died while on air, one was a woman who was also some sort of personality. I don’t keep track much now because it happens so often…

Well, I’m not really tracking them now, although I did earlier in the year. I just happened to have that short list as there were several over a couple of days and I was going to send another email to Marina Hyde at the Guardian and decided not to because sometimes less is more!
I get weekly updates from Mark Crispin Miller on sudden deaths all over the world (well, where he has people reporting anyway) – he now also sends lists of (mostly) celebs and sports people who have been disabled or contracted sudden cancers.
I see Katy Perry seems to have acquired the covid vaxx wink now. She won’t like that.
hahahaha I saw the Katy Perry ‘wink’. Wow.
Thanks for the reminder that MCM is still publishing those.
One gratifying point is that, if you see an article now on msn on a sudden death that allows comments I would say there are now more people commenting who know what’s going on than there are responding with comments about ‘anti-vaxxers’ blaming all illness and death on the vaxxes.
Yes! GA, I am seeing that, too. Most people are onto the dangers of the quacksines and the lies. Comments sections full of them. And not just the ones that are considered ‘right wing.’
Russian court denies Brittney Griner’s appeal of 9-year prison sentence!!!
A Russian court on Tuesday denied WNBA star Brittney Griner’s appeal and upheld her nine-year prison sentence on drug charges.
Griner, 32, looked despondent as she appeared at the hearing in the Moscow Regional Court via video conference from the detention center where she has been held since her arrest in February. The athlete is now expected to be moved to a penal colony.
Griner’s conviction in August was decried by the United States, which has said the athlete is being wrongfully detained. The denial of her appeal will see hopes for Griner’s release shift to the potential for a high-profile prisoner swap.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Tuesday’s decision was the product of “another sham judicial proceeding.”
“President (Joe) Biden has been very clear that Brittney should be released immediately,” he said, adding that the Biden administration has in recent weeks “continued to engage with Russia through every available channel and make every effort to bring home Brittney as well as to support and advocate for other Americans detained in Russia, including fellow wrongful detainee Paul Whelan.”
Griner’s attorneys said the decision was “not what we expected” and added that it could take months before the WNBA star is transferred to a penal colony.
“We are very disappointed,” they said. “We still think the punishment is excessive.”
They said Griner’s “biggest fear” is that a prisoner swap will not take place and she could have to serve out the entirety of her sentence in Russia. “She had hopes for today as each month, each day away from her family and friends matters to her,” they said.
The attorneys said they planned to use “all the available legal tools, especially given the harsh and unprecedented nature of her verdict” and would discuss the next steps with Griner.
Griner had been “quite pessimistic about the outcome” of the appeal ahead of Tuesday’s hearing, one of her attorneys, Maria Blagovolina, said Monday.
The WNBA star had held hope there would be a reduction to her sentence, but did not believe the verdict would be overruled, Blagovolina said on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports.”
She released a recorded statement — in a deep, masculine voice.
So will “she” serve time in a male prison or a female prison?
I don’t think Russians put up with this “I have a female soul” bs.
Or does she just take testosterone.
Those girls who decide to ”transition” and take testosterone end up with deep voices.
Wait, which direction did “she” transition?
She is a trans-woman? Or trans-man?
I am confused.
Brittney Griner is not a trans person. Don’t listen to this. People act like there is no variation even within cisgendered females and males so do you really believe they even know what a trans person is?
Cis is a slur.
There is no such thing as ciswomen and cisgendered and cismales.
Gender is a social construct. The person who made up the use of “cis” was also a pedophile, much like most of the people who are responsible for the trans agenda, and other postmodernist crappola.
Oh really? So please identify who exactly invented the word cis and provide evidence that they are a pedophile.
Nope. I already know it.
Just letting you know what you’re doing when you use it.
Oh alright. I’ll relent this one time.
https://genevievegluck.substack.com/p/cis-coined-by-pedosexual-apologist
And what is it that I am doing when I use that word? It’s a descriptor. Not to say you have to like it. But it is used nowadays whether you like it or not so it has context. But I see you don’t speak to the merits of the issue presented.
This is a conflation of the issue though. How does this information prove that cis is a slur?
People who are against the trans agenda scourge consider cis to be a slur.
It’s misogynistic, being used to force actual women to add some inane descriptor in front of ‘woman’ (which is already an adequate descriptor of adult human females) to denote us as lesser than transwomen (men). Trans people assigned it to us, I don’t accept it. It seems to be fine with women who kow-tow to men in dresses. We call those “handmaidens”.
Keep on using it, I don’t care. Just letting you know it’s a slur.
Handmaidens. Really. Well, you know what. It really does sound rich coming from someone who consistently establishes patriarchy in their vernacular and lingo. Which I have noted previously. Cis is not a term used exclusively in relation to women so that right there just simply debunks that it is some sort of term specifically aimed at women or is weaponized against women alone. Have trans people or some ideation thereof been weaponized for an agenda? Yes. Just like blacks, just like many people groups. One against the other. But to simply say that it is a slur and assigned to you. Well that comes from your own biased perspective. I really never use the term in the first place. But as is often the case you have a way of skewing things. Meanwhile in my concern for women and women’s rights I am not going to just not saying anything when for example people are mocking Brittney Griner as if she is a trans person. And your silence speaks volumes to me.
SSL: People who on board with all this stuff think they are superior to “breeders” or another new one, “basics”.
And was it you who talked about people trying to gussy up their personal identities to get into college? Being Hispanic is better than being White of course, but some kind of alphabet soup thing is gold.
There is such power in language. We lose when we use their terminology. Gender and “cis” are their words. The latter is like breeder or basic. They’ll deny it of course, but they deny most of their agenda until it’s firmly in place.
Griner is a very masculine woman. Such people have always existed. That biological sexual presentation is a spectrum is one leftist idea that may have some merit. Their concept of psycho-social “gender” is much more complicated and problematic of course.
I agree that there is no evidence that Griner is trans. And it’s hard to imagine her ever being interested in a man or vice versa. You’d have to be an NFL or NBA player to make her feel feminine in your presence.
Anyway, it’s not just Mary’s people (rad fems) who have come to this conclusion about cis. It’s a broadly based conclusion on the right. Hate to agree with Mary, but it is what it is.
What SSL is saying is that Griner is not trans, and I never said she was or wasn’t, but she’s attacking me for it.
Delusional.
Pointing out an attack on women (using the slur “cis”) shows your disconnection from reality, and sharing in the trans delusion.
I don’t care if Griner is trans or a woman with masculine traits. She did the crime, she does the crime.
You outed yourself as a trans agenda supporter, that’s pretty huge. Good to know going forward. Men in dresses are more important than women. That’s your stance, not mine.
BTW, SSL,
I did not see people slandering her for being trans, I saw people wondering if she was or not.
Triggered, much?
BTW, SSL,
I did not see people slandering her for being trans, I saw people wondering if she was or not.
Triggered, much?
Mary repeats her comment. She never does that. Very triggered!
A win for SSL.
J, I certainly wasn’t seeking to adopt their language. I guess what I was trying to convey was better described by what you mentioned biological sexual presentation spectrum and the fact that there are variations among both women and men in terms of femininity and masculinity. I wasn’t aware that terms like cisgender or cisgendered are viewed in a negative way or as slurs. And Paula was referring to Brittney as “she” and Islander appears confused so basically I was trying to say that Brittney is a biological female who identifies as a woman. She is very masculine as you say and people do make ugly comments and Mary who claims to speak for all women doesn’t attempt to understand what i am communicating in Brittney’s defense but accuses me of supporting the trans agenda.
No Mary I’m not delusional at all. But leave it to you to cast aspersions calling my mental health into question. Once again it really feels like a struggle session with the patriarchy but you tell me since I probably have no idea what’s going on. I absolutely never said that I supported the trans agenda. And since that is what you are directly accusing me of then I demand to see the text. And I never even came close to articulating anything similar to men in dresses are more important than women. I find that to be a very bizarre accusation in reality. But you definitely are a bigot since there does exist trans people who have legit issues who are not living a political agenda who don’t deserve your smears and broad brush dehumanizing condemnations.
I actually believe all lives matter. And I absolutely believe that both women and men have a right to their own spaces and sports, etc. And I am in opposition to any classroom indoctrination of a sexual agenda, trans, lgbq, etc. So don’t you dare tell me what I support.
I assume she is female because Russians don’t put up with that shit.
I actually don’t know what she sounds like. I was going by what BRH said.
But women who take testosterone do have voice changes.
And testosterone is a hormone that some female athletes take, as I understand it, because it improves their performance.
I also despise being called ”cis”. I am a woman, not a “non-trans woman”, which is what ”cis” means.
How dare they measure all women by the desires of men in dresses.
Yuchanal Fukoff
Interesting possibility. We know that athletes take steroids to become stronger. So maybe Griner, already a masculine woman, did the same for similar reasons, thus the deepened voice perhaps.
Jarek’s so stupid he doesn’t know that double comments happen because of a glitch and not because someone posted them twice.
LMAO. The blog actually won’t allow you to intentionally post the same thing twice, because of its SPAM filter settings.
SSL thanks for revealing your support of the Trans Agenda . I actually appreciate the candor. It sure explains the subservience to men you display here.
You’ve got lots of company among the wokies.
I’m starting to think that Jarek and SSL are the same person, with 2 separate socks.
Same gaslighting, manipulation and strawman techniques.
Funny stuff.
“I actually believe all lives matter. And I absolutely believe that both women and men have a right to their own spaces and sports, etc. And I am in opposition to any classroom indoctrination of a sexual agenda, trans, lgbq, etc”
– SSL
I could not agree more. Does that make me a right-winger? No, but it certainly underlines the fact that I am NOT some left-wing ‘wokester’ type…there’s a HUGE swathe of the population – “ordinary people” – who find both ends of the spectrum equally stupid & repugnant.
This illustrates a key problem in discourse here – unless a commenter agrees with the crazy RW CTNJ crowd, one is labelled a “Covidian” or a “Wokester”. It’s ridiculously fruistrating
I also despise the “cis” business.
On a couple of levels. One of them logical and linguistic.
For htose who live on an island, “island” (e.g., “island business, island schools, island time, island problems, island transport, etc.) means on and of that island. “Off-island” means not on and of that island, namely, mainland. There is no need to say “on-island.” “Island” already means that. Totally unnec.
Wash-ashores started this nonsense. Now (practically) everyone says “on-island” when it is obvious they mean “island.”
Same with “cis.” It is obvious that biological women are women and biological men are men. No need to rename or specify the baseline standard.
The only special designation needed is for the variant(s).
So you can take you “cis” and shove it.
Mary gets so triggered when these animals (men) try to become human (women).
It didn’t work/wasn’t funny the first time, Jarek….
SIZE 17 FEET
wheres the sisters when I need them? Serena and sis?
I just thought of a very dirty “limerick” but I better not say it.
When you mess with the bull, you get the horn.
It should be a lesson to every American citizen about carrying illegal substances, meaning drugs, into any foreign country. Luckily, she wasn’t in Thailand.
She is caught in a pissing contest between the American and Russian mobs. Biden can bitch all he wants, until something of equal political power is given to Putin, Brittney is going nowhere.
Not everywhere is as stupidly Leftist as the Deep State is.
It’s nice to see a celebrity get some justice, for a change. Even if it is a ridiculous sentence, 9 years, for a ridiculous crime, possession of less than a gram of hash oil.
It’s all for show. She’ll be back before we completely forget about her.
Is it possible he will leave Russia alive?
Nine years is like two days. One day really. With any luck, WWIII will be over then and there’ll be no US to return to, she’ll be speaking passable Russian after nine years in the hoosegow, settle down with a nice Russian woman, pump out some kids, and get back on her feet again. Forget all that basketball shit, or maybe go into coaching.
My thoughts exactly about being “stuck” in Russia. She should be thankful she is there and being taken care of by the Russians. The alternative would be getting released back to a major city in the USA and being shot or mowed down by a violent mob.
Russia is perhaps the best place in the world to be riding out your life as we face prospects of the “long emergency”.
Like Snowden — the hero of the left until “Russian collusion” foil took over their tiny brains.
At least she’ll have heat this winter!
The power of positive thinking!
Da!
Maybe Putin should “instruct” Biden and the UK that this is another sham show trial and corrupt process, a violation of international standards of human rights (citing the UN rapporteur’s report), and that Julian Assange should be released immediately.
I’m not sure if Putin has talked about Julian but I did see him mention the political prisoners of Jan. 6th locked up for years without trial.
My hero Maria Zakarova spoke out for him though.
”Russia on Saturday backed Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Maria Zakharova, Spokeswoman for Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Assange faced ‘ostentatiously absurd charges’.
“In US J.#Assange faces up to 175 years in prison, which tells a lot about “developed democracies”. He is being punished on ostentatiously absurd charges, while he has already suffered many years of isolation for his beliefs, faced overt mental pressure & torture,” Zakharova was quoted as saying by Russian Embassy in South Arica on Twitter.
Good for her!
She is very intelligent.
Double Trouble: Dr. Mehmet Oz and Turkey
Posted on October 24, 2022 by Baron Bodissey
A crucial Senate race is underway in Pennsylvania in the coming midterms: a cognitively impaired stroke victim vs. America’s celebrity Turk. In the following essay David Boyajian examines the unsavory connections between Dr. Mehmet Oz and Turkey.
[See at the Gates of Vienna website.]
The worst part of Oz is 1000% better than voting for the worthless Fetterman.
Are you folks serious about taking away the impetus in the country from the GD Left or not?
Something about do not sweat the small shit!
They are both terrible. Fetterman is a walking lobotomy, and Oz will sell you out.
Fetterman is a walking mime of Joe Biden and his mob.
THAT is why you vote for OZ.
We will never stop the Uniparty Deep State if you vote for the enemy.
Oz is also the enemy.
Black/white. Dumb and dumber.
This post could have been written by the Rednut were he a “conservative.”
You don’t get it John. Their game is that you have insurmountable problems and no solutions at hand. Unfortunately, CFN is being subjected to a major demoralization campaign. Follow it from that perspective and you can more easily see what is being done here.
No you do not get it. There is no worse enemy to the US than the Biden mob and any one who supports them.
They have caused the unsurmountable problems you refer to. With them and theirs in place, the problems remain or get worse. Only removal gives the system a chance to recover.
Oz is one of them, John.
Have you looked into his history?
Black/white. Divide and conquer.
I don’t think you understood me, John. That’s ok as I sometimes speak, and my words are like arrows. Striking those who need to be struck at the most opportune of moments lol.
Well, Biden’s mob is more or less noise and not the signal. Biden’s mobs are the wolves and jackals and hyenas that have been sicked on you by the owner pigs. While you are busily flailing and fighting the packs of rabids the pigs are devouring your present and your future and even your past. I’m feeling a creative wave flowing over me so pardon all the imagery and analogies, but you get the greater picture.
If I lived in Pennsylvania, and if I thought that we had “free and fair elections” in this country, then I would check out the other candidates and find one whose positions on issues were closer to mine than those of the Dumbocrats or the Repugnicants, and vote for that candidate. And never vote R or D.
If everyone did that, (and we had free and fair elections), donkeys and elephants would have to apply for protection under the Endangered Species Act. Of course the time for that has long passed.
Oz is establishment.
He will continue the ways of the WEF.
JohAZ,
Not small. The best response from the voters of Pennsylvania is apathy.
Just laughing at this particular act of the Clown Show.
LMAO!!
I just watched a short video by Gonzalo Lira, who says that the Russian Foreign Minister has warned a number of countries, including Turkey, that the Ukrainians are to let off a ‘dirty bomb’ on their own territory and blame it on Russia. The response has been a joint statement (US, GB and Fr) blaming Russia for creating an excuse for escalation. Lira says it will used in Nikolaev and give the US the excuse to deploy troops in Odessa.
Paula also reported that the other day.
It’s too the point where we can see the announcement of the false flag, but they’ll be able to pull it off anyway.
SMDH.
I think that whatever Shoigu said to France, the UK, the US and Turkey might have scared them into stopping it.
Alexander Mercouris today speculated that they seem to be backing off.
Hope so.
Lira never comes up with anything original.
Yeah I think he’s mostly in it for his ego. I don’t have a good feeling about him, and I trust my gut.
the Ukrainians are to let off a ‘dirty bomb’ – Sean C
============
By let off I assume you mean explode. The term let off to me means released from arrest.
But you is a Yankee, Q. “Let off” in British English is what you do to a firecracker as well as what you do when you fart (as well as release from custody or blame).
Detonate… would be the word.
I think the usual expression is “set off,” rather than “let off.” You see this muddling of common idiomatic expressions all the time. I should start a list, like Q.’s shitlist, as I find this stuff a constant irritation.
That sound right. I think I have heard people say ‘let off’ for years now, in this sense, but it may have started as muddling, as you say. it irritates me too. I hate the way people use the words ‘invite’ and ‘disconnect’ as nouns (they may not do it in America). I loathe the word ‘meld’, which I think is supposed to combine the idea of melting and mixing, you know, ‘melding’ together. A good example of such muddling is flout and flaunt. And I cannot use the phrase ‘beg the question’ in the usual lazy way after I found out what it means.
I prefer idioms like let off or set off to detonate because they are more natural.
While I am at it, I cannot spell ‘all right’ as ‘alright’. It annoys Peter Hitchens also and he too dislikes the habit some have of writing short sentences… linked by… rows of dots… And then there is all together… and altogether…
I have noticed one or two writers making use of the word ‘withal’ and I am all for it. i would like to use it myself but I keep forgetting what it means.
What I see more and more is people saying ”That begs the question” when they mean “That raises the question”.
Begging the question has a specific meaning in logic. It doesn’t mean raising a question.
Funny how well all the false-flag back and forth works. If you just listen to the hysteric press accounts, you really can’t determine who’s telling the truth.
You could use common sense.
Why would Russia release a dirty bomb on or near their own territory?
That would be as stupid as shelling a nuclear power plant they are guarding, or bombing their own bridge, or bombing their own pipelines.
It if sounds idiotic….you are being lied to.
Yes, but as we’re seeing now, that kind of common sense is not so common anymore. The power of propaganda is strong in the Borg.
But the “argument” in the case that you speak of here, is that the “monster Putin” doesn’t even care about his own people, which is a lie that I’ll bet a majority of Americans would immediately fall for, to the degree that they pay attention at all.
The false-flag game is to always hold up a mirror to your enemy and always reflect and attribute accusations right back at them, which you have to admit, works pretty well, especially on a dumbed-down populace.
Or this, from the Saker:
A few thoughts about the “dirty bomb” thesis and the role of hatred
While zombies like Brandon and his “genius” VP are clueless about any of that, there must be at least a few folks in the Pentagon or the letter soup agencies who understand the simple fact that the way things look now, the Hegemony has three options:
Be defeated
Declare victory and leave (same deal, just with a tiny fig leaf for modesty)
Commit suicide by attacking Russia directly
Not very good perspectives. So here is one more: how about creating total chaos and hope that something advantageous comes out of it? In other words, while setting off a dirty bomb will do nothing in purely military terms (it sure won’t stop the Russian military), it will create such a huge political reaction that the current situation will turn into total chaos, panic, rumors, lies, etc.
To the demented minds of the Neocons, total chaos would look better than total defeat, right?
Yes, I know, nobody with half a brain will ever sincerely believe that the Russians did it. But if past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior, I would submit that there will always be enough doubleplusgoodshitheaters in the Hegemony to believe literally *anything* no matter how self-evidently stupid and preposterous that *anything* is.
We do, after all, live in a society were nobody teaches how to think anymore (schools just make kids dumber and dumber) and the vast majority of people still reply on legacy corporate propaganda machine to get what they think is “information”. Not to mention that on a psychological and spiritual level, we live not only in a post-Christian society, but even a post-Truth society in which true and false have simply lost any objective meaning other than “like it” or “I don’t like it”. We could even call this a “post-reality” society!
The bottom line is this: at this point in time, NATO needs any distraction or, even better, as much chaos as possible to change the narrative and hope to use that distraction to regroup and try to find an out from the abject defeat NATO is facing in the Ukraine.
So don’t seek a military rationale for a dirty bomb attack, look ONLY for optics.
https://thesaker.is/a-few-thoughts-about-the-dirty-bomb-thesis-and-the-role-of-hatred/
Saker is right. Here’s another one, from MoA.
;;I don’t understand the logic of a dirty bomb being used as a pretext for official deployment of NATO forces in Ukraine. Is their presence somehow meant to prevent further use of dirty bombs or nuclear weapons? Would that make sense even as a narrative? Would they be deployed in the contaminated zone or as far away from nuclear contamination as possible? I guess Russian stand-off weapons would be disabled by the dirty bomb and Russian stated resolve to use them against any force getting involved in the conflict in Ukraine would likewise dissipate?
What is it about a dirty bomb or supposed nuclear strike that makes formal NATO involvement on the ground in Ukraine more feasible? The only immediate objective that NATO troops could reasonably be used for, is to try and prevent some territories from coming under Russian control in the event of a complete Ukrainian collapse. Such an operation could be articulated and might even find a measure of support, although even that would be pushing for a direct confrontation between Russia & NATO, which would necessitate a delicate and situation-dependent implementation or risk blundering into a full-on conflict on the back-foot.
But, if the narrative is that Russia has started conducting nuclear strikes in Ukraine, then pushing for a NATO presence in Odessa or somewhere else in Ukraine is a nonsensical non-response, to the point that they may as well emphasize that they’re issuing lead umbrellas to all the troops and that their mission is to shield Ukrainian soil from radioactive contamination with their bodies. I understand that the West is operating on a hitherto unseen level of inanity, but there’s no way such an approach would find approval.”
It would be a desperate move, any way you slice it. And that’s probably the most ominous part of it all. It means NATO is running out of cards to play and is settling for turning the table over altogether. No telling what comes next after that.
If they do it, they’ll do it on the border of the Donbass. Given the prevailing Westerlies in the Northern Hemisphere, Russia will get some of it too. Perhaps they’ll check the weather forecast to make sure that winds on the ground aren’t from the East.
Gonzalo Lira thinks they are going to do it in Nikolaev.
They are evacuating the city and Ukie soldiers have been issued protective suiting and geiger counters.
He thinks that the US wants to invade Odessa and snatch it up and build a military base there and they will use the dirty bomb as an excuse.
Sounds like something the Americans would do, imo.
But yeah, the Russians will get the fall-out. And the average American is too stupid to think logically about that.
Interesting, thanks.
I must try to memorize a short list of false flags that have been officially admitted or where the evidence cannot be denied.
I heard recently (for the second time, so I can remember it for the moment) that Robert McNamara admitted before his death that the Gulf of Tonkin incident had been a false flag. And I heard (Robert Perloff) the BBC actually made a documentary about Pearl Harbor which said that the Americans knew about the attack in advance. And I am listening, half-listening, to an interview with James Corbett, about false flags used since the 1950s. It think it kicked off with the bombing of a cinema bombin in Alexandra or Cairo where a number of Jews were killed and the argument is that the Israelis did it.
I am tired when I get home from work and of late I have had difficulty staying with a lot of the things I am trying to study. I might listen to a podcast and it would be going over familiar ground and the mind would begin to wander.
And then there would be a piece of information I had never heard before or had understood for the first time. With Bitchute it is hard to go back a few seconds and you have to listen to five minutes or more.
I picked out randomly an older podcast from Matthew Johnson last night about a visit the relatively unknown Obama made to Russia and elsewhere in 2005 where he made some important speeches, MJ concluded from this that he had been selected by the Council on Foreign Relations to be president by this time.
Johnson has added a great deal to my list of false flags or hoaxes or myths in history. For example the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989(?) where, he says, even some of the major networks have admitted (more or less) that it was completely fabricated.
there is a good English podcaster called Richard Cox (DeepStateConsciousness) who is very good at asking the right questions, but then in a short space he mentioned the Holocaust and My Lai to support his points, unaware that both were fabrications or fantasies (My Lai was the creation of Seymour Hersh, who Johnson says went very closing to admitting it publicly, if he did not actually admit it.)
The list of myths and legends in recent history, science and just about everything else is so long so far that it would support Johnson’s oft-repeated claim that everything the average American believes about the world is a lie. (And if that can be said about the Americans where does it leave the Irish?)
Interesting, I have not come across Johnson saying the Holocaust was an invention. The closest I have heard him come is; that it is “a highly questionable narrative”. In the early days, when I started off on this more than six years ago, I read Christopher Booker, who had taken the climate hoax to pieces among other things, wrote in an article in the Telegraph, “knowing what we now now about Jimmy Savile.”
See, Coleman’s version of Godwin’s law. I get there in the end!
utube–full spectrum survival.

It’s funny how as a once-identified lefty, I never liked Kissinger. I also loathed Dick Cheney & Co.
But now the liberals love them all.
All it took was the installation of TDS into their psyches. Now anything the deep state says is A-OK with them.
A commie frenemy on Pence replacing Trump following impeachment: “Oh, I don’t think he’d be any worse than Dubya.” (And this frenemy hates Christianity.)
A side effect of TDS: the embrace of Bush 2.0 and his whole 9/11 gang.

What do you care about tom?
Perhaps he’s a Buddhist. As near as I can tell they’re all about achieving the “I don’t give a shit” state of mind.
It’s pronunciation that’s his problem, Lil’ T. Maybe it’s YOU who can’t read?
Re Musk:
Posting again what I posted up-thread, because it is pretty interesting, IMHO:
httpXX://consortiumnews.com/2022/10/25/caitlin-johnstone-white-house-may-block-russia-friendly-musk-from-buying-twitter/
He’s sealing the deal on Friday
Gee, I wonder if after Musk buys Twitter, will there be any more censorship?
Stay tuned, folks.
Yes there will.
Another oh really. So exactly how do you know that? Elon said that he wants complete free speech so what inside information do you have?
Doesn’t take a genius to understand, SSL.
Yeaah? Well, I don’t see a big explanation anywhere brilliant one which means you have no clue and you just pulled it out of thin air.
We lose nothing by using his twitter if he lets us. If he censors a lot or demands too much personal info, then you may be right.
Not using it because he may be one of them and you can’t be sure is simply daft.
There may be powerful people in the middle. Not totally on board with the Great Reset. This is a great opportunity if true, and we’d be fools to reject the hand he is offering us.
Who said anything about not using it?
Jarek making up strawmen again.
So tiring.
So you think it’s going to be full of censorship, just more of the same, but you’re still planning on using it?
You’re always read to humiliate yourself to “win” an argument.
LOL
Gaslighter + handmaiden tag team.
Cute!
Rishi Sunak is a bankster. https://americanyellowvest.wpcomstaging.com/2022/10/25/rishi-sunak-bankster/
Does that surprise you?
What Rishi think about the earth’s carrying capacity? Are there too many hooomans?
Let’s get dirty.
I’m sure that is his philosophy. I don’t have to agree with his philosophy however to know that the Earth is being destroyed and poisoned.
But you did agree last thread?
Not too many hooomans now?
I don’t know what the magic number is. I also struggle to understand what a hoooman is. However, when one looks at the scale of lands becoming deserts because of over agriculturalization and habitats being wrecked because of building sprawl among others then you can see that human activities can have very destructive impacts upon ecologies and biologies beyond or outside of humans.
You struggle to understand what a hoooman is?
You are very smart.
Exactly lol
Which is why you are struggling with forming an argument against. Shall I accept your concession of defeat?
You can always go throw a can of soup on a famous work of art or sit in the road if you think it might help.
You could always try to not be petty if you think that would help. This is extraordinarily serious. This is the health of ecosystems and the planet itself. And I am not talking about some trite “climate” protest. I am talking the extinction of millions and billions of sentient creatures and plants of all kinds. And how ecologies are being dissected and are disappearing.
You started the petty shit. At least own up, toots.
Just try to drive anywhere in a city. Or even walk downtown in really big ones or commute on public transportation. Too many. Too much.
Does Night Owl even want to know the limit? Or is he content to exceed it and then face the die off. Anything rather than stifle his precious corporate capitalism. Also as a father, perhaps he can’t stand the idea of his children having to face limitations. But nature has already done that in any case.
Yeah honestly its a grim topic in some ways so its very easy to see why a lot of people would want to avoid it. But if you know the car is going to crash it seems like a really good idea to try to stop it. Or try to jump out of the car? That is kinda how I see Elon’s desire to settle Mars. Personally it seems like we were made for the Earth so we should try to better live in harmony with its rhymes and reasons. Theoretically the fewer the people there are the wealthier everyone could be so that would present a more positive future for children if it could be achieved.
You first need to make an actual argument, SSL.
I was merely commenting on your feigned ignorance of my Schwabenklaus pronunciation of “humans.”
You really, didn’t know it meant “humans,” I guess.
You are very smart.
Jarek —
Tell me the limit. Tell us all.
And by all means, show your work.
Don’t disappoint us now.
Night Owl, engage the ideas and engage in actual discussion or drop the subject.
How can one human for every 1.3 acres of agriculturally useful land on the planet at 8 billion not be overpopulation, especially since so much of current sustainability of those numbers relies on fossil fuel consumption’s prime which won’t last much longer?
We’re squeezing out other animals to extreme levels, and razing any plant that doesn’t make us a buck tomorrow.
Gus,
You have presented no argument. There is nothing to engage.
An argument actually has been presented. The argument is that human activity has become detrimental to the health of ecosystems and other species. Engage that. What are the solutions? Reducing the human footprint would reduce the rate and scope of the destruction so that appears to be a solution. What solution do you see?
I see that you continue to insinuate something negative about my intelligence and I don’t appreciate it. I’m surprised you are doing that to me.
Night: As Mary and others always so, there is enough if it properly distributed. What is the limit (and is it wise to go to the limit?), I don’t know. But consider: such “distribution” must be the domain of a world government. And we’ve already seen they’re not interested in that, not at all.
correction: say not so
At least own up, toots.
Toots! There’s a word you don’t see around much anymore.
No SSL, there has been no argument presented that can confirm that the earth is “near or at its carrying capacity.”
There are only models and concepts being floated.
Your post does not even address what we have been discussing directly, and I do not disagree with some of what you have written.
@ Night Owl:
Like you, I am not at all convinced that we really have an overpopulation problem.
While it is true that humans are causing some serious ecological destruction–in some places more than others, and in some places not at all–it does not necessarily follow that the cause of this is excessively high human populations.
What is the actual cause of the ecological destruction? If marine life is dying off, what’s causing it? I don’t know all the factors, myself, but some of them are pollution with plastics, pollution from the run-off of chemical fertilizers, oil spills, and maybe radioactive materials from Fukushima. There is also the problem of over-fishing. It’s also true that the soils of vast areas of good agricultural land are being degraded by poor farming methods and the heavy use of chemical fertilizers. We also have over-building, with suburban development paving over vast areas of good agricultural land.
Human populations contribute to these problems, but I don’t think they necessarily cause them. Therse are therefore other solutions than the reduction of the human population.
For starters, all or most of the ag problems could be solved by abolishing corporate farming (and the ag subsidies that are the only thing that keeps Big Ag from going bankrupt). Instead, roughly half of the population should be engaged in farming on small family farms. Thus, the population woud be more dispersed–and far less centralized in large cities and their suburbs. The small farmer is a far better steward of the land and does not treat it as a resource to exploited until it is used up; he treats it as a renewable–and improvable–resource. He works at soil and land restoration and makes sterile, depleted soils fertile again.
Where the population is more dispersed throughout the countryside, there is far less polution of both groundwater and surface water.
You’d still have big cities, as centers of trade will always be needed, but they don’t necessarily have to dump their sewage into the river, and they don’t need to be surrounded by sprawling suburbs. Also, if the population were more dispersed, there would be many more small cities to serve as centers for trade. The big cities would be smaller and the small cities would be bigger, and decentralization would solve a lot of the pollution problems.
Back in former decades, there was much talk about “appropriate technologies.” Usually these depended more on human and animal labor and less of gasoline or diesel powered machinery. There’s a happy medium in there somewhere.
I also don’t think there is a real need for all these plastics. I would prefer a linen duvet cover over a polyester one. I’d rather have a wool or cotton sweater than a polyester one. Who wouldn’t? We could get rid of plastics. People wouldn’t have as much “stuff,” but it looks to me like most of us have far to much stuff as it is.
So, bottom line, I don’t think the problem (at least in most parts of the world) is too many people, but rather the people’s social/economic organization and lifestyles.
And, as I have mentioned before, we don’t have an overpopulation problem where I live. Yesterday, on the drive back from the Sprouts in Lee’s Summit, going down 50 Highway, I was staggered by the endless acres of undeveloped land, much of it hardwood forests decked out in fall colors. And this is not “a drive in the country.” This is a drive through suburban Kansas City. Once you get out of the city and its suburbs, you are even more mind-blown by the vast amount of land and the scarcity of humans in the landscape.
Up thread just another guy mentioned a series by Ian Davis entitled “Welcome to the New Multipolar World Order” I read the 4th part first and couldn’t stop reading.
It covers many topics that most of us understand in the abstract but he ties them together quite nicely. You can find it at Ian Davis dot com or there’s a link at Gates of Vienna. Well worth the read unless you are sensitive to criticism of Vlad.
wondered if anyone else would find davis’ essay series insightful. not hard to find reasons to be critical of anyone who has to far abandoned their basic humanity that games with peoples lives are never anymore than means to an end.
it is a challenging work, to be sure.
Yeezy being crucified like Jeezy. Suppose that is his point.
The man’s mind is all over the place but he makes some excellent points on Lex Friedman’s podcast, and a patient Lex fails to grasp his point. Lex wants him to hold the individuals accountable, but Kanye is making a point about all the “individuals” coming after him or who have done him wrong in his business dealings:
-why is the record company cartel OK with blacks selling music that glorifies violence against blacks? Why are they OK getting rich over that?
-why are there so few blacks atop the sports, entertainment, music, fashion monopolies although there is black over-representation?
-why are the democrats and BLM (soros) permissive of black violence in black neighborhoods and cities? Why do they only come out during election season?
-why do “they” routinely exploit black misery for their political ends?
-why is it OK to have eugenics centers in black neighborhoods? Why is it OK to push abortions on poor black people?
He admits that his people are sick from those preying on them: fast/junk food/obesity/diabetes, violence in entertainment, incarceration, the destruction of black families. A holocaust of the present
Ye is the Wokies’ worst nightmare.
He’s poking holes in all of their skewed logic.
Which is why they are attacking him tooth and nail. Really fun part of the clown show/circus.
Even more, he is breaking up a dependable block of group-thinkers that serve them politically (voting straight D) and economically. He wants to take the yoke off of black entertainers, athletes, and performers who are being exploited.
The scariest thing for the people dependent on their vote, their talent, their athleticism is to lose influence over them.
Kanye is leading a revolt in the plantation.
Ye is of zero consequence.
He is of total consequence
As witnessed by the swift and total movement to end him and his influence.
Spot on.
If he was of no consequence there would not be a full-court press 24/7.
This allows one a glimpse into the future the powerful envision.
The future as intimated by the PayPaul (a Kanye insight: rob Peter to PayPaul) leaks.
You don’t say the right things, you don’t believe what we say, you don’t do what we want : you are silenced, ruined, and frozen from society. Social discredit
His being dropped by Adidas is exactly illustrative of his lack of consequence.
No, Fake Trae.
It’s because they must cancel anyone who becomes a heretic by daring to oppose woke ideology.
Racist much rl?
Ye is of zero consequence because he is insane. His skin colour is also of zero relevance to me, wee ben.
But it would be if he were a Democrap or a Libtard.
mq – zinger, direct hit.
rl – no comeback possible.
Yes, and he knows even if you don’t, that the Jews have a special relationship with the New World Order, above and beyond that of Whites for the most part. The Whites who are on board, are on board with them. Elon tweeted (then deleted) a tweet of him and Ye together.
And no, not “all Jews”.
Lex Fridman was trying to make that point. That his messages get conveyed as “all” and that is the fear.
There were a few tense moments, particularly when Kanye tried to make the point, “but you people” all want me to apologize over and over.
It was a fascinating exchange and credit to Fridman for keeping him engaged and explaining, and also for sharing the episode (as opposed to canceling it)
West has a real clever, but completely nonlinear, way of rebutting and making counter points. It was like some old Socratic dialogue but without any “gotcha” competitiveness to it. Fridman called him out on “bullshit” and Kanye told him he couldn’t trust him. They seemed to really bother Fridman who is a rather sympathetic fellow.
But almost all Jews join in that fear, thus supporting their Elite who are THE Elite. So it comes to the same thing in a deep practical sense. And they are the most organized people in the world and will support the cancelation of anyone who talks about them.
And those who can’t be talked about except in glowing terms are those who are in control.
Thus Ye’s point is maintained against Fridmman’s and your criticism.
The exceedingly erudite Alex Thomson, who, in addition to his own website, reports extensively for UK Column, gave a talk at the Alternative View Conference a few years back entitled Inventors of Evil Things (title from Romans 1.30), subtitle: Exposing those who see the World as their Fiefdom and Humanity as Livestock. It’s about the bloodline families, their origins and their activities. He concludes, from his research, that the elites in question are not overwhelmingly Jewish, but rather principally Anglo-American (although the Chinese Li dynasty is included, as is the Onassis family (shipping has historically been a major factor, from Tyre and Sidon, right through to the maritime arbitration organisation (can’t remember its exact name) which is now, for very specific reasons, in London). Also included are the Kennedys, of which there are both Irish and Scottish branches.
It’s a fascinating talk – you might find it interesting.

Alba, what jews as a group have is great wealth and power, relative to their 10m-50m total.
thats X million over 8 billion.
at 50m thats 1/20th of 1 8th = 1 in 160 people on the planet.
As a resident of Pacific Palisades [one of the best areas in el ay] said, PP is 90% jewish residents.
Anglo American? What does that mean at his point? American isn’t an ethnic identity. And Anglo isn’t anymore either.
The Vatican merged its finances with the Rothschilds a couple of hundred years ago. The American Elite gave in and sold us out with the Federal Reserve Act, no doubt profiting greatly as individuals and as a class.
I’ve heard that Indian Jews control India’s banking, but I’m not sure that’s true. The actual Chinese control China. That’s a good thing for the world, though maybe not for us…..
Russia? The military class has gained ascendance over the financial. That’s a very good thing. Putin is ok with them, but not if they try to hijack Russia for personal or class profit or for the benefit of the West.

Which face are you speaking from, MaryQ?
Well, first, provide me with an example of Parler censoring and closing someone’s account after 20 minutes.
Then we can talk.
I recall the first time (I think maybe 7 years ago) I noted JHK’s being offended by ‘woke’ bullshit – he had spoken at a university somewhere and at a dinner following that event, he suggested that Blacks would get ahead more effectively if they would learn to speak proper English rather than ebonics.
One of the attendees reported this to some wokester activist who took it upon herself to call JHK out for this, even though she hadn’t been a witness to the conversation.
His indignation and anger were entirely justified in my opinion. Such an egregious personal attack is uncalled for and unforgivable.
Back then, he had on more than one occasion stated that he was “allergic to conspiracy theories”. So, I still wonder whether that hateful event was. in fact, the seed that led him down this path of anger & hatred of ‘the left’?
(Incidentally, I wonder – is Herschel Walker’s ebonic delivery disqualifying?)
Ebonics is a testament to isolation. There are islands in the Chesapeake where the denizens still speak a vulgar form of old American English.
Now, just like Blacks, they can speak “newscaster” English, but they don’t.
Isolation becomes an identity.
Pretty sure JHK is still allergic to conspiracy theories.
The problem is that now any dissent to establishment dictats are called ‘conspiracy theory’.
So it really doesn’t mean anything any more, except ‘disagreement with the establishment.’ And he’s also realized who runs the establishment, as so many of us have.
You are still years behind.
Conspiracy theories? Wowser. They’ve been right about everything. Thought you knew that, but again, politics trumps truth with you. And you’ll say anything to zing an opponent. No integrity at all.
Cry more, clown. 😀
Yes, please reanimate more discredited mainstream media memes like “conspiracy theory”. You’ll be really be helping them.
Or how about how Joe McCarthy was evil for trying to stop Communism. You probably still believe that one, right?
Not sure what’s funnier, that you missed the entire point of me discrediting the term “conspiracy theory” or that you’re doubling down on it?
No, you implied new establishment conspiracy theories are wrong. You said nothing about the old ones, the ones you believe in.
People who never believe in conspiracy theories are the most confused of all. The world works by conspiracy. Of course one must discern the real ones from the fake ones (false narratives) and the true ones from the false ones (put forward by real crazies).
Nope.
Is it fun living in your fantasy world, full of strawmen and gaslighting?

UNZ-KERSEYS PAGE,
This story [at kerseys] kind of reminds me of the “Santa line” murder of 1971.
“In Cleveland a few days before Xmas in 1971. A downtown department store had a Santa Claus for kids to meet, take pictures with, etc. A negro family cut ahead of people in the long line. A White man with his family objected, and he and the negro father had words. Then that turned into a fight between the two. As they were scuffling on the ground, a negro woman bystander handed the negro father a knife, which he plunged into the White man, fatally wounding him.
The black female got away and was never caught. The negro murderer also ran, knocking little kids over in his escape. He was caught later, and I think got a year for manslaughter or some unbelievable bullschitt.
As it happened, it was the father of loony tune “actor” Terence Howard, who was only 2 or 3 at the time. That didn’t stop Howard from going on Oprah many years later and telling a bullschitt biased version of the story, which I believe Fatso Oprah had to retract later.
or some unbelievable bullschitt.
and telling a bullschitt biased version – malth
=============
Would you care to share with me the reason for this particular misspelling?
I am quoting an article, pal.
” Look at 2 major “revolutions” in Europe.
The French revolution ended with the total destruction of the French Aristocracy.
The Russian revolution also ended with the destruction of the Russian Aristocracy and much more i.e. the destruction of the intellectual class (“non-communists”) and destruction of the middle class like farmers who were moderately prosperous.
So I don’t think your impression is correct for at least these 2 major cases. ”
” Look at 2 major “revolutions” in Europe. ”
I already did , but , OK.
” The French revolution ended with the total destruction of the French Aristocracy. ”
In simple terms you could say the French Revolution began with Robespiere and Lafayette, both of whom were card – carrying members of the aristocracy ,
And it ends less than ten years later with the already an aristocrat Napoleon crowning himself not King , but Emperor, no less.
In this case even the mere labels are not dispensed with.
” The Russian revolution also ended with the destruction of the Russian Aristocracy ”
Lenin was a nobleman , with a noblemens money too.
Where did he get the jack to hang out in Switzerland, the Italian Rivera, and London ?
Not from Bolshevik Party membership dues.
Trotsky , granted , had no title , but he was hardly poor , or even middle class.
I have no doubt many middle class folk in America today would be happy to trade their income for his.
” and much more i.e. the destruction of the intellectual class (“non-communists”) ”
At least a good chunk of whom would have been labeled liberal , bleeding heart , populist , or the like.
That is to say people who would not have been averse to some degree of greater equality , some degree of social and economic leveling.
But , yes , Non – Communist, or even anti – Communist , which I suspect was the real sticking point ;
I.e. they were outside the club.
” and destruction of the middle class like farmers who were moderately prosperous. ”
I would not be the first observer to point out that the first problem with the extermination of the Kulaks is that the definition of Kulak was so broad and so nebulous that the definition could include ANYONE, or NO ONE.
You have one cow ?
You are a moderately prosperous class enemy.
You saved up four years wages to buy a phonograph?
You are a moderately prosperous class enemy.
You found spare change to buy new shoes ?
You are a moderately prosperous class enemy.
Curiously , though , if you are an ex – aristocrat and a product of the finest foriegn private finishing schools , and have a cow , a phonograph, and new shoes ,
AND ARE A MEMBER OF THE BOLSHEVIK PARTY IN GOOD STANDING ,
You DO NOT qualify as a moderately prosperous class enemy.
True enough , the Soviet Union dispensed with the labels.
( though even here there were exceptions. It was THE ORDER of Lenin , like the old ORDER of Saint George , for example. )
The slogan the Soviets used was, ” a class – less society. ”
How a Communist society actually works , however , is that status , or class , means everything.
How one gains access to gated neighborhoods , special shops , better education, better jobs , desirable theater tickets , shorter lines , discount travel , etc , etc ,
Is not , granted , with money ,
But by resume , by background .
That is , were your grandparents, parents , you , friends and associates friends of the Communist Party ?
If so , then the world may be your oyster.
If , however , there is a black mark anywhere in the above list , you may be permanently locked out.
Folks will say that all of this was accidental or aberrant development, never intended.
I think the Communist party set itself up as an Aristocracy right from the beginning, and intended it.
” So I don’t think your impression is correct for at least these 2 major cases. ”
I think it is more than an impression, and is correct precisely in these two cases , among others.
From a biography: The young thug Stalin was heard running down the street, whooping with joy and yelling, “I just got a job with the Rothschilds.”
It was their money, distributed from various financial centers as established by them and their agents.
He later turned against the Jews once he realized they had no loyalty to the Soviet Union at all. It was just a vehicle for them and they were jumping ship and going over to the American side.
Well, you said it was an impression. If you now think it is correct and precise, OK then. LOL.
I would just look at the entire Aristocracy and what they were before and after the Revolutions. If 95 percent of them were murdered, or impoverished, or forced to emigrate, it’s fair to conclude they were not playing a scam of supporting the revolutions and their own destruction.
Fair enough?
The “People” are a dangerous beast. Another Aristo, “Phillip Egalitaire” (forget his original name) ended up losing his head as well.
Maybe it was a mistake for them? But that doesn’t mean they didn’t do it – they did. Granted, only a few. The main support was the intellectuals, organized by the Freemasons. Financial support flowed in from Britain, etc.
So basically, the lesson learned is that you can do all the revolutions you want to. You can live in a continual revolution. But there will always be an aristocracy. And being part of the aristocracy saves you from the mandates of the revolution one way or another.
But what kind? What kind of man? Aristocrats of the spirit or of matter and money? Fascism or National Socialism or Capitalism/Communism? Jarek or Paula/Mary/Beryl/Alba/, and their male enablers? The Sun or the Moon? Male or Female?
The military comes closer to the spirit. Kshatriyas or Vaisyas to use the Hindu caste names.

DA, could you see the Hot Air Balloons from where you’re at? I know NM is a big state. About 20-25 years ago Hot Air Ballooning was pretty big here, but like a lot of other activities — rollering blading, waterskiing — has faded out.
Sometimes, if the weather is clear and you have the right vantage point. If you go up top on Pajarito Ski Mountain and around the back to where the trees clear you can definitely see them. They’re pretty impressive. The Balloon Fiesta is a big tourist draw here, so they support it very well.
Haha tom, super hilarious! You are just so creative and so unexpected!

Thanks, just listened to it. Very good.
As a quid pro quo, I came across a link to this really excellent MCM interview/presentation on propaganda – covers covid, but goes back to Kennedy, 9/11 and a whole lot more.
Comes in 3 parts but if you scroll down to (4.) in the list just below the video, it is the full 2 hours in one film.

I’ve listened to several of his interviews, most of them more than once, but this one is riveting (IMO anyway).
Not ‘proganda’, obviously!
Good link. Thanks.
Thanks for this, GA.
Love Right Said Fred on Twitter. Two rare artists that didn’t buy into the hoax. And Bob Moran is a genius.
Thanks for the link.
The Party of Chaos is at it again with the attempted foisting of one John Fetterman onto the opioid-addicted population of Pennsylvania.
Apparently, the Democrats are in a real Halloween state of mind, because Fetterman is something like a combination of Frankenstein and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
Where the fuck do they find these creeps?
Good grief.
Calling that “debate” last night painful, is underwhelming. More like medically negligent.
WTF is next? People in ICU beds running for office??
Jesus
He reminds me of Shrek.
Shrek – an ugly but essentially good-hearted creature…unlike yourself, who is a self-proclaimed ‘prom queen’ looker but with a horrible ‘heart’.
Of course I never said that about myself.
Did you attend the Jarek School of Gaslighting and Strawmen?
LMAO, now libs are OK with ‘good hearted’ stroke victims with little mental capacity.
Apparently his performance at the debate was cringeworthy.
His performance as Mayor of Braddock (2006 to 2019) was far from ‘cringeworthy’.
whyy.org/articles/braddock-made-john-fetterman-a-politician-its-also-home-to-some-of-his-biggest-critics/
Anyway, you excuse his “little mental capacity” as being related to his stroke…but what’s YOUR excuse?
Hahahahaha!

He couldn’t even get the lines out.
Just think about that for a moment.
LOL.
“[…] attempted foisting of one John Fetterman onto the opioid-addicted population of Pennsylvania.”
Nice one, Pete. PA has a population of 12.96 million, That’s a lotta opioid addicts! Official numbers for ‘people with an active substance abuse disorder’ is 293,000, which looks like around 2% – a lot but why do you have to make such outlandish statements as the one above?
Fetterman is a real person, unlike his ‘rival’ who is another fake TV grifter, an actual creep, a creation of Oprah and a fanboy of ex-President Lardarse. Who’s the Frankenstein’s Monster in this picture?
As to people running from ICU beds, get real. Apparently, it’s not even illegal to run from office from fecking prison in the US.
All Fetterman needs is some bolts on either side of his neck, and I’d say the fella would be the child of Frankenstein, LOL
If only Peter Boyle was alive to play Fetterman in a movie.
Haha yes!
Or the original Elephant Man.
“As to people running from ICU beds, get real. Apparently, it’s not even illegal to run from office from fecking prison in the US.”
Yeah, for real. Look at Biden. Good Lord.
In 2 years, he really might run from for President from a nursing home.
Maybe by that time medical science will have perfected a brain transplant, who knows?

Ooh….Jimmy….how edgy of you to have a quote from noted fascist Yarvin right at the top. Ya know, Jim, the saying, ‘when people tell you who they are believe them.’ Thanks again for telling the world just how much of a POS you’ve become.
Another Take-a-Poo meltdown.
People say fascist so much now that it doesn’t mean anything to me anymore. You have contributed to that. I like what Jim writes so maybe it is you and not everybody else. You are the one that is unhinged.
In recent photos I noticed that Prince William seemed to tower over his father, now King Charles III. Then in today’s NYT I saw a photo of new PM Rishi Sunak shaking hands with King Charles and Charles seemed to tower over over Sunak. Indeed Sunak is a shrimp at 5’7″. William is 6’3″ and Charles is 5’10”.
Make of this what you will.
William should be King. Charles can be the Prime Minister. And Rishi needs to go back to being the Treasurer or what have you.
Sunak – Q.
===========
Re the new Prime Minister, I am requesting that someone knowledgeable, preferably Green Alba, inform me of the correct pronunciation. Is it Soo’ nak or Suh’ nak?
Further, are you, Green Alba, bothered at all that the new PM is of Asian Indian extraction?
Q – sue-nak
On Bob Moran’s Twitter today, he suggests saying the following out loud:
Sunak Hunt will be in charge. 🙂
Hahahahaha!
“Further, are you, Green Alba, bothered at all that the new PM is of Asian Indian extraction?”
I’m bothered that he’s of WEF extraction.
that Sunak is anti White? WEF guy?

I’m fed up also. “Modern warheads are not the popgun squibs of Hiroshima” Ol’ Fred is a hoot ,huh?
Saint,
I sense a disagreement? An argument?
State your claims.
I think he was just marveling at the comparison, which is literally true. Those little firecrackers we used on Japan are toys compared to what we’ve got now.
This post was up on Saker last week. Ol’ Fred is in fine form, as usual.
Your right Dis. Hiroshima was devastated by a 15 KT weapon. Little Boy. A decent modern ICBM contains multiple warheads individually targeted. Or some just have a single weapon perhaps up to 25 MT. 1600 times as strong as Little Boy. That sumbitch will really spoil your day. Putin’s got a bunch so lets give Potatohead a sharp stick to poke the bear.
I know but if you read the comments on any MSM site you’ll learn that none of the Russian nukes work due to poor maintenance and Russian incompetence, Russians are inept, Putin is an idiot, and it’s high time we send the 82nd Airborne to Moscow, capture Putin, and bring him to the Hague for a Nuremburg style War Crimes Trial.
It’s that simple.
Uh-oh!

A Puritan on Virginians: The farthest from conscience and moral honesty of any such number together in the world.
Virginians William Bryd ll on the Puritans: A watchful eye must be kept on these foul traders.

Quakers of New Englanders: The flock of Cain
from the Politically Incorrect Guide to American History
Jarek: This is a degraded work that puts forward the mind virus, Libertarianism as the answer to everything but it has some good info and quotes in it.
Perhaps John Jay believed that the above had been overcome by the latter part of the 18the century. But he was obviously wrong about the hatred between Massachusetts and Virginia. Dead wrong.
I wonder what he thought about Black slavery? Adams and his wife believed it was a terrible way to begin a nation. Jefferson agreed, but powerful Virginia, leader of the South, was committed to it and they had to keep their peace so the nation could go forward.
And what to do about them if freed? Jefferson was clear: Out. Did the Adams’ have any clear idea at all? Probably not.
As a Copper Head, I’m completely with Virginia on this. Foul traders is the best way to describe the Yankee Capitalists. And with Jefferson as the best of the Virginians: Racial purity as a foundation for the Nation. Only very degraded people would put forward the idea of keeping them here as cheap labor – or worse (the mensch material for future revolution). Or the sentimental fall down that we have to pay them back by keeping them here even if it kills us. And the facile assumption that since we have to keep them, it’s all going to work out – despite all evidence to the contrary. These three ideas play around in the heads of ordinary people, especially the latter two.
Kari Lake epitomizes the Democrats are the real racists meme – a complete capitulation to the suicidal status quo.
Hmm, it’s kinda strange Kari Lake came into this as it was totally unexpected given the topic of the discussion. I really like Kari and think she is actually one of the best candidates of the 22 crop. I don’t necessarily think she is capitulating to the narrative of the status quo. It is true that Democrats focus on race and identity politics specifically to weaponize those topics as bludgeons to destroy non-Democrats who oppose them. So, Kari is simply turning it around and letting people know her focus is not race. That is the Dems deal. And they are very racist. It is actually just a fact. Democrats certainly don’t care about race though to keep anyone pure or anything. They do it to destroy all of the various groups. So, I see it as she is working with what she has. To change the status quo is going to require a lot more than just one candidate.
True. I’m a radical, always interested in getting to the root of things, back to the ever compromised and ignored Truth.
She’s an improvement. But I can help but imagine her hemming and hawing if someone asked her to say some good things about Whites just as her opponent did with Hispanics.
correction: can’t help
Yes, I do see your point. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t seem like there is a good bench of people in the political arena who are willing to step out on the issue. Even in smaller ways. MTG has said some things about discrimination against whites and racism against whites but not much. Perhaps with some free speech coming back into the picture a la Elon’s twitter takeover the subject can at least be broached on a careful but clear basis?
And now we have people like Darrell Brooks in Waukesha, WI that mow innocent people down by using their car as a deadly weapon. But for his ancestors being allowed to stay in this once great country of ours, this would have never happened. Luckily, he was convicted guilty on all 76 counts and will be spending the duration his life behind bars where he will not pose a threat to more innocent civilians. Unfortunately, Wisconsin is not a death penalty state. The most appropriate punishment that should be meted out to him is tied to the front of a truck engaged in a demolition derby.

And there lies the basis if the English Civil War 1642-1649, and the American Civil War 1861-1865.

“Gus,
You have presented no argument. There is nothing to engage.”
No, Night Howler, I have. From the beginning you demanded (disingenuously, but anyway) “full proof, and show work.” I wrote and posted a linked full argument, which you ignored. I will abbreviate it as much as possible, right now.
Carrying capacity must be calculated with sustainable energy-usage factored in. Fossil fuel, nuclear, renewables… none are sustainable beyond several centuries. Eliminate them.
Carrying capacity must be calculated with a sustainable social structure. Intensive-agriculture-based cultures inherently promote ecological depletion and population-growth feedback loops. Eliminate large percentage of intensive agricultural land-use.
Highest historic human population within these parameters is pre-agricultural-revolution pop at 10 million in 12 BC(E).
To factor in some sustainable technology and moderated agricultural practice, and some tighter land-use, I’ll multiply that 10 million number by an X (sustainable development within parameters). 30 is generous for X.
Approx. carrying capacity = 300 million.
Owl: either engage this in conversation with some substantive argument, or shut up, or continue to exchange on the issue like a prick with no substance to offer. Three choices.
There is nothing to engage with.
You make a basic argumentative fallacy in that you have stated absolutes, yet you have no way to predict the future other than to create a theoretical model.
You know you have no argument, but you are too smug to admit it and simply state that you hold a belief.
Nothing wrong with beliefs, but they are not facts, and modeling is only modeling.
You are like the Covid Cultists in many ways.
The honest, considered way for you to express your position on the population issue would be: “I don’t discuss overpopulation, carrying capacity questions because there are too many variables. You are free to express yours, I simply don’t engage in this kind of speculative arena, and put forth no public opinion on the subject.”
Acceptable. Or you could go find an opinion with a little logic behind it and join the discussion. Argue that my energy assessments are wrong for whatever reason. But the “argumentative fallacy” bullshit is not only baseless, it’s also… gay, basically.
Maybe one day every single thing on Earth won’t get channeled for you primarily through covid/WEF glasses. There are other things going on, believe it or not.
Yes, you have no proof for your statements.
We know.
It’s called looking ahead. Yes, it involves speculative analysis. Welcome to being a human. No, you have not discovered fire by stating that analyses of the future can not be verified in a lab and therefore the entire process of looking ahead has no value. You’ve discovered idiocy.
All I do is look ahead. Which is why I was one of the lone voices calling out the WEF plan over 3 years ago.
You made statements that you cannot back up. It was never in debate if such things could or could not occur in the future.
You are just another jellyfish.
That wasn’t a debate. That was me milking an excuse to put forward some positions, and you repeating “no proof” like some kind of strange autist.
Twist in the wind, worm.
Very close the the Georgia Guidestone’s 500 million.
Overshoot and bottleneck are important concepts.
With BAU it is very likely that a lot of things will grind to a halt.
Changing BAU, especially in the level of FF currently needed to grow, transport, and *package* food sure looks like a huge intellectual challenge for humankind.
Unfortunately, having stupid, wasteful, resource-intensive wars imposed on us and our straining environment seems to be our, and Earth’s lot.
We sure do need a new paradigm for food production that returns more resources to the ecosystem and eliminates the waste of production and distribution, plus the waste of war.
Capitalism must by definition produce a surplus. The ability to do that for a small stratum without killing off billions looks increasingly unlikely.
This is more or less Gail Tverberg’s argument, at Our Finite World. This is the sinister element of the WEF. They say their aim is to solve the problems for the multitudes, but it doesn’t take a lot of brainpower to see through this.
Has the WEF even come out with a statement in favor of negotiating an end to the Ukraine situation? No.
Have they come out with a statement in favor of dialing down hositility toward China?
No.
They are not concerned with world government or world peace. They are only concerned with control of all the Earth’s resources.
Sorry, that was supposed to be
“The ability to do that EXCEPT for a small stratum without killing off billions looks increasingly unlikely.”
In the Saker’s latest post titled “A few thoughts about the “dirty bomb” thesis and the role of hatred”, in the very first comment under that someone put a link to site called biblicisminstitute – click on that a have a read. It is an absolute required reading for most of you who are still struggling in trying to make sence of what is going on and a lot of you “going up the garden path”, as they say.
In other words, lost. This will be an eye-opener that will give you a very good idea as to what is happening in this our world right now and, importantly, who is causing this mess. Read it and pass it on.

You did not find their latest post enlightening? And why is that?
For the future – do not try that patronising tone with me. You are not in the same league.
I saw that Meloni is also pushing Italians to start pumping out babies, so I guess this puts a big dent in her being a WEFer.
Someone should warn her that we are “nearing earth’s carrying capacity,” (I googled it), and that Gaia will further retaliate with natural disasters if we do not change our ways!
#LastGeneration
Good to hear. Someone should also tell her that NATO and EU are two sides to the same coin. In case you haven’t heard, she against the latter and for the former. Ignorance? Feminine irrationality? Or is she an agent undercover?
Is that good, Jarek?
I thought Gaia was near her carrying capacity, and was sending floods and famine to punish us.
Oooga booga.
We don’t know who destroyed the Nordstream pipelines or who bombed the Crimean Bridge — it probably would be the same situation with a so-called ‘Dirty Bomb.’ Who is responsible? Altho, as I understand it, a dirty bomb is radioactive material packed around a conventional explosive, meaning the perpetrators would need to have access to spent nuclear waste, which might narrow it down a little bit.
Good point, BRH.
Well, we pretty much ‘know’ but we can’t prove it, like with all the other false flag attacks.
No not spent but refined it can also be spent.
Lots of fuel rods soaking in swimming pools.
The idea is to blow the material into little tiny pieces and distribute them over a wide area. No way to clean it up and it makes the area uninhabitable for a long time.
Remember that Russia wants a no go zone between Nato and itself.
McArthur wanted to do this with Korea, spreading radioactivity on the border with China. Truman fired him.
We know exactly who bombed and pipelines and the bridge.
What is that they say? Find out who you are not allowed to criticize and you will know who rules you?
Sweden and Germany have flat out said that they know who did it but they are not allowed to say.
And if there is a dirty bomb we will know who is responsible for that, also.
And if South Africa has a ”terrorist” attack we will know who did it also.
Everybody knows but everybody is too afraid to speak.
Except for Russia. They are standing up to the bully and saying loudly that the bully has no clothes.
Will courage call to courage? We will see.
One is reminded of the Supreme Court’s refusal to engage with the data anent the 2020 presidential election on procedural grounds.
At least the NY Supreme Court appears to have done that to some extent in its recent decision nullifying vaccine mandates for public employees (and others, I think).
If human population never reached over 1 billion pre-fossil fuels that is a pretty good argument of the Earth’s carrying ability of the human species.
We are now in the middle of the 6th Mass Extinction, human caused, but pointing out that what cannot last will not last is somehow considered ”genocidal” by those who allow their emotions to overcome their rationality.
Facts is facts. Cry mad about it.
Biden is vowing to take on “junk fees”. Here’s a thought Biden, how about you in your infinite wisdom and with all your great powers eliminate the biggest “junk fee” in all the land – federal income taxes. Stop the “junk fees” you are imposing on all of us with your massive spending, leading to historic inflation and a worthless US dollar.
Read the article snippet below with Biden comments on “junk fees”. It is absolutely hilarious.
Article summary as follows:
“President Joe Biden said that fees for extra legroom on commercial airlines hurt minorities during a speech he gave at the White House on Wednesday.
Biden said that having to pay for extra legroom on airplanes was unfair on “people of color” and low-income Americans during a speech where he criticized airlines, hotels and other businesses for imposing “junk fees” upon American families. Biden declared that his administration would take action to end such practices so that consumers would not become “surprised” by hidden fees.
“These are junk fees … they’re unfair and they hit marginalized Americans the hardest, especially low-income folks and people of color,” Biden stated.
taxes are the only way, in a fiat money system, to effectively extinguish emitted money, prior to retirement by debt settlement.
of course, taxes used for this purpose exacerbate wealth inequality, by intention it seems.
since the debt settlement route cannot net to zero unless the debt is issued not bearing repayment interest, that route also must be satisfied by at least a portion of the debt defaulting and being written off, usually at a loss to “lenders” (‘money’ emitters thru the fractional reserve mechanism), and therefore not tending to exacerbate wealth inequality – as long as the beneficiaries of the default are ‘little guys’.
fewer and fewer routes to bankrupcy for the little guys, we’ve all noticed…
oddly enough, massive student debt defaults would marginally benefit former students, but would not hurt ‘educational’ institutions much at all, but would be very bad for lenders.
the student loan default trial balloon got loads of hate on the idea, and trained an new generation of debt slaves in realpolitic.

OMG the social credit is to ‘fight obesity’. The obesity the PTB in large part have created.
Another one just now to add to the list upthread:
msn.com/en-gb/news/world/first-picture-of-boy-15-who-died-after-collapsing
-in-restaurant/ar-AA13o4Rf
A 15-year-old boy drops to the floor (last weekend) in a restaurant and dies in hospital. And the police produce the now-standard line that they have “confirmed his death was not believed to be suspicious.”
It’s not suspicious that schoolboys drop dead when they’re out shopping with their family.
I wonder if they ghouls had discussions about whether they should have a blackout on reporting of such incidents or just publish them anyway, on the assumption that many people will genuinely start to believe it’s normal for kids to just drop dead.
Of course they planned the media black-out.
“Oh when people start dropping dead or getting strokes, etc. we’ll just start broadcasting that it’s normal and has always been that way. The sheeple will believe it.”
Especially dupes like Fake Trae and Take-a-Poo.
It’s too bad that Julia responds by saying that the govt is providing a lot of “ammunition for conspiracy theorists,” thus keepiong the “conspiracy theory” meme uppermost, which automatically devalidates anything associated with this term.
She should have said, “These certainly do sound like conspiracies to reduce freedoms.”
The media is reporting that “No US-born Black players on expected World Series rosters” and that this is the first time since 1950.
So, with that said, does that make MLB the whitest sport and possibly racist? Is basketball the blackest sport, followed closely by football?
Yet again, we need to make everything absolutely about the color of your skin. Absolutely bogus.

Quite a few Hispanic players, tho.
Baseball
Black guys have tall genes. But Whites are quicker. Most Whites are guards. But both have a place in BB.
Why baseball is White Latino is a mystery.
Football, lots of big White linemen, but sprint speed positions are mostly Black. QBs, too political.
Olympics, sprint speed dominated by Blacks, something about the hookups of their leg muscles. Distance though, different story.
All kinds of theories about why the adaptations happened, but it still remains that for the most part the best guys, and gals get the jobs.
Remember though that hiring managers have biases.
Why? Economics: They pay the Latinos less and thus others now as well. Accept or be replaced.

Just said, “You’ve chosen death.”*
And though they say she speaks of nukes
In utero and out,
I know she’s talking bout the jabs
Of that I have no doubt
So when the money’s gone
And your credit score’s no song
And the mark to buy & sell
Is a tat on your genome
Then don’t cry for me Argentina
And don’t jump
Or pump yourself with junk
To die.
But stick around and face the music
Seeing through their lies
We know you have been hypnotised
When you wake up and suicide
We will not let you
We will hold you to this life
To repair and live through this time of strife
First the terror comes to truth
And for chosen lies
The the Lord of All reveals
Our souls, and then we cry.
You will be hidden for the major persecution.
Follow the candle to your refuge.
Who by plague?
Who by famine?
Who by war?
Who will listen to this gamin?
Who will listen to this lore?
Who knows the song of Solomon
Of what has come before?
“Every 2000 years I renew the earth.”

Whoops. Sub chuck 4 ed, and you can pick the rhyme-word.
I thought of another diversion/limited hangout.
In early 2014 an audio of a phone call between Victoria Nuland, State Dept. and Geoffrey Pyatt, US ambassador to Ukraine was released in which they discussed plans to finalize the UKR coup and also discussed who they were going to put in the post coup government.
“Yats is the guy”.
They also discussed keeping the open nazis out of the spotlight while still letting them have influence in the coup government. AND Nuland said that she would run the final plans by Biden to get his “atta boy”.
It was blatant evidence that the US had gone into Ukraine, overthrown their elected government and handpicked the new proxy government.
How did the Mighty Wurltizer spin it? At one point Nuland and Pyatt discussed how the EU would deal with the fact that the US was breaking the agreement they had brokered with the beleaguered elected president.
Victoria Nuland said “Fuck the EU”.
THAT was the only part of the story reported. Omigod she said a bad word! How shocking!
It was the most ridiculous cover-up you could imagine, but they pulled it off.
For a while you could go to YouTube and listen to the audio, but it was almost always “Listen to US rep saying a bad word”.
But once the SMO started YouTube scrubbed even those.
The pretense now is that Russia ”invaded with no provocation”.
Excellent get, Paula. You should put these in a spreadsheet or database if you haven’t, since there is no collective memory about this stuff. I would really like to get my hands on that recording.
I remember hearing that recording – I thought I might have it bookmarked but I don’t see it.
In the past 2 years I try downloading all the video or audio I find that’s incriminating to the PTB. So people won’t forget and it does get scrubbed. I have to give credit to Telegram. Any video people share there you can download with a click.
Not so easy to get other video.
Paula
You need to watch Glen Beck’s You Tube chalkboard presentation on what Bidens did in Ukraine along with the rest of the Obama team. It astounded me, Trump was absolutely correct in trying to get to the bottom of this. Proof of the owner ship of the Biden Mob by the WEF.
Nuland was just a part of it.
Attending too many funerals, not enough weddings and baptisms. Population control?
MQ…whatever happened to your database of “unexplained deaths”?
Infinite growth can’t go on forever in a finite world.
Centuries of “partying” are taking a toll…finally.
GA is the one who is being really good about recording the SADs.
I have a vault where I’ve kept various articles, videos, memes, stories, posts, .pdfs, etc. for the past 2.5 years. But it’s a mess, and will need to be sorted.
Or maybe, Vaxx “parties” Tom. You do not know any different, one way or the other. Please do not say that you trust the government or medical community on this one. Foolish! Please read my below post.
Nobody knows what this vaxx is capable of doing. The small amount of deaths <1% did not justify the "emergency" that ensued. I got sucked in but never again. Do your own research, start with You Tube, before expressing unwarranted opinions.
Too damned many SADs and coincidences.
Very glad to hear this John!!
The second half of the film version of Rbt Kennedy Jr’s The Real Anthony Fauci has been available for viewing on the producer’s site for the last couple of days. I’m just watching it now. It’s only available free for another day.
therealanthonyfaucimovie.com/viewing/
GA
Thaks for that. I have watched the first half…what about it was evidential or convincing of anything much, in your opinion?
(Thanks…)
You should get the book.
4000 factual footnotes.
As Mary says …
The e-book is dirt cheap and you can click on the 5000 links Mary mentions. But I’d give priority to watching Part 2 of the Fauci film, as it’s only free for the rest of today.
Next month you’ll have Dr Pierrie Kory’s book on ivermectin available to you. There will doubtless be plenty of references, because he has read all the RCTs, but he also catalogues the criminal conspiracy by our goverments to label it a ‘horse dewormer’ and to remove it from the reach of people who need it. I just mention it since you seem to lhave more time to spare to watch and read evidence. Forgive me for being hopeful.
(I have both the Fauci e-book and hard copy as I hoped my husband would read it, which he did, after his post-booster collapse and cardiology referral.)
Have you watched the Spanish film yet? I’m keen to hear your explanation of the photographed nanotech and the emitted MAC codes. In addition to your explanation of the censorship of distinguished scientists (all over the world).
Also, what *evidence* have you gleaned from the released Pfizer data (that had to be forcibly released by a federal judge), in terms of efficacy and safety?
And what do you make of the UK government’s own ONS statistics that show that 94% of covid deaths are in the vaxxed, and 91% in the triple vaxxed?
Finally, what *evidence* will you demand of the authorities before taking the bivalent vaxx tested on 8 mice and no humans?
4000 references, not 5000, sorry. That’s enough homework, though.
PS your disingenuousness is noted, in asking what did I see in it that was ‘evidential’, rather than picking a number of things you considered to be factually incorrect and challenging them (with facts). If you are challenging the fact base of the book, it’s up to you to explain what is inaccurate. Write your own book, if necessary, since you know so much more than all the censored scientists and doctors.
GA, you will never convince the Left side of anything. Facts, research, science makes no difference. All that counts is denial and anger if anything goes against their belief system. Please keep up the data flow as others are listening, (reading).
Two Covid or Covid vaxx issues in the family, maybe.
Me Continued soreness in left arm at the injection site, subdued but it flares. Also, on and off pain at the funny bone ligament on right elbow thats it. Could be, but confused by statin like drug I take for cholestorol control.
My daughter Interesting reactions. First, she had Covid in 2020 early on. She is a teacher and had to get the vaxx for her job. Big mistake? I think I already posted about her autoimmune marker scores rising, ANA and Rf. Her middle finger right hand turns white and cold, by itself. Further work shows a bone spur on her finger base that is causing occlusion of a blood vessel. Weird. However, another problem has arisen. Microcalcifications in the Left breast, the side she was vaxxed on, high and distal. Probably not cancerous, yet, but further work is to be done. Microcalcifications are basically scar tisue with calcium deposits in them that occur with aging throughout the body but are caught by mammograms.
Hmmmmm?
I hope your daughter doesn’t have any more adverse effects, JohnAZ. It’s so appalling that she was made to get the vaxx when she had natural immunity.
I’ve got a mammogram coming up next month, as follow-up from my minor cancer 3 years ago. I was told that with radiotherapy and an oestrogen blocker the chances of recurrence were 3%, but I’m prepared for anything, following the publication (yes, Redneck, publication) of information about vaxx–suppressed immune systems and increasing cancers. I don’t even worry any more. Que sera sera and all that. The whole reset/4IR thing is far more worrying.
Statins are bullshit too, JAZ. So is the whole cholesterol myth.
Well, let’s not kid ourselves.
Fake Trae has no intention of reading the book, checking the footnotes or watching the whole movie – except through a lens of “IT MUST BE FAKE NEWS.”
MQ…you’ve got to get your life in order. Marie Kondo would be upset w/ you. Kiss your socks tonite for me please.
LOL tom. I saw where i was accused of being a sock puppet again. Kiss kiss tommie clark LOL 😉
Pretty sure that’s your gig, lil’ T.
This is what it’s like for women who reject men in our prisons, locker rooms and shelters, and who advocate against the mutilation of children and the removal of them from their homes by the state:

Halloween is coming and like every year there is a new “scare” to add to the list.
msn.com/en-us/news/us/rainbow-fentanyl-passed-out-on-halloween-why-experts-say-that-s-absolutely-ludicrous
Do we believe this?
Where does this shit come from?
Seems Americans are awash in fears.
I never believed kids were doing tide pod challenges either.
A cautionary tale has developed a new twist this year, as an alarming opioid has become the latest drug feared to be lurking inside trick-or-treat hauls for Halloween.
It’s been an annual tradition for people to raise concerns of drugs like marijuana edibles or dangerous objects such as needles to be inside candy for the holiday. But this time around has been different, at least to Joel Best, a sociology and criminal justice professor at the University of Delaware who has spent decades studying the scare of tainted Halloween treats.
“This year has been especially unusual because you have prominent people pointing to a particular danger, which, of course, is the danger of rainbow fentanyl,” Best told USA TODAY. “This has been very strange.”
As if anyone but the CIA would want to buy an expensive drug only to use it to poison kids.
LOL.
Wait a minute!
I thought Donald Trump was so hated for his behavior towards the press and yet here we so Joe Biden behaving like a complete ass.
Yes, folks Biden is a complete jack ass, and they are terrified of the public seeing him in action or should I say short circuiting and going off script.
I can’t think of a worse person in this role in Americas entire history.

resident Biden appeared to mock reporters as they shouted questions at him during a meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the White House on Wednesday.
Biden hosted the Israeli president to announce a new agreement between Israel and Lebanon during a bilateral meeting in Washington. At the conclusion of the meeting, both leaders, who were seated opposite each other, turned their attention to reporters in the back of the room. The two men sat in silence as a raucous press corps shouted questions at them.
Biden could be seen imitating reporters, raising his eyebrows and moving his mouth to silently mimic talking. The president was also seen laughing and slapping his knee before reporters were escorted out of the room.
“The Biden WH seems *particularly intent* on the press not asking any [questions] of POTUS 14 days out from the midterms, w/WH aides screaming in the faces of reporters who try to ask Biden q’s following each event today,” she wrote.
I got the “whoops, page can’t be found” message when I tried the URL.
I did see it on Fox.

It looks to me as though he simply cannot manage the situation—that is, go to a mike and get control of the situ by calling on one reporter and making the rest be quiet.
The new press officer is a pathetic joke.

One for the discussion on trans agendas and how negative this shit is towards women.
The conversations here about the trans agenda are extraordinarily one sided. For example, the weaponized political trans agenda is as much if not more about the erasure of men as it is women. And ultimately the whole point of it is to dismantle the nuclear family. Which has been the building block of Western Civ.
But we will never be able to have true conversations about this because we have a major bully hogging up the debate stage here.
Yes, she just wants to hijack the problem and make it serve her feminine supremacy agenda.
And it looks like she has several men here who are more than willing to help her advance her agenda. She refers to me as a handmaiden because I am here to serve your agenda. So, what does she call these men? Handmen? Lol, that sounds like it may go against the principles of radical feminism. What are these men doing with their hands? I mean, they can’t be trusted because they are lowly animalistic men.
Yes, handmen! Good stuff. What are they doing with their hands? Not touching her, that’s for sure.
Raised by female tyrants, they are drawn to her like moths to a flame. I was shocked by BRH’s capitulation, I must admit. She said he was her favorite poster and he began to serve as her monkey soldier.
We must free them somehow, like Dorothy and her friends did.
If debate alone could do it, we could. No one has ever defeated the Twins in debate.
Where there’s a will there’s a way. Follow the yellow brick road
Yes: there are so many men here under my complete control, furthering my nefarious agenda (please do respond what that is). They have no opinions of their own. If they disagree with you or Jarek’s insane rantings, obviously they have been co-opted and directed by me to say what they are saying.
The clown show continues.
Both of you are fully capable of raising the issue yourself, as ben just did.
I haven’t seen either of you doing it.
I have said quite a bit about it here on this thread and Mary has accused me of fully supporting the trans agenda and being a wokie despite my clear statement that I am opposed to the weaponized political trans agenda. Mary is a bigot. She hates all trans people. I don’t and have said some individuals have legitimate issues. This has been my position on the issue since I have commented here. I don’t discuss it on every single thread because I am simply not obsessed with the issue. And when I mentioned cis not realizing that apparently it is viewed as hate speech both you and Islander told me to shove it up my ass. So no, I don’t feel invited to engage thanks.
So you are saying that you are not actually interested in having “true conversations on this subject”.
You don’t have to be ”invited” to discuss anything. You can bring up whatever you want to talk about. If you don’t want to talk about something that is on you. Quit blaming it on other people.
Also, I didn’t tell you to shove anything up your ass. The obsession with ass shoving is someone else whose name I can’t recall now. But it’s a dude, it’s not me.
You’re right. In the moment I was going for a zinger. Instead, you wrote Yuchanal Fukoff which is actually cute and comical. And Islander said to shove it. So ok, it was a bit of a stretch but there was some invective that could be construed as close enough, nonetheless. You’re thinking of tucsonspur. I don’t see where I am blaming anyone. Just stating the occurrences within that particular sub thread. Though my comments re Mary do stand at there more generalized level until she proves otherwise.
What in the fuck does this even mean: “Though my comments re Mary do stand at there more generalized level until she proves otherwise.”
Omg you really are getting unhinged wow! Don’t play. You know what it means. Unless your reading comprehension skills are not as acute as I anticipated given your background in academia, etc.
I have no idea what it means.
Why don’t you tell me.
Yeah, wrong. I’ve brought it up many times all by my lonesome.
Feminine solidarity is so often so destructive. Your post illustrates this.
Oh no.
Women agreeing on things.
That might literally kill Jarek.
SoftStarLight, There’s a lot to unpack in the trans agenda and I’ve commented on it before here, but I don’t have what it takes to write a dissertation. The problem with feminism from the outset was that it was disdainful of men. If it had just been about women who genuinely preferred a career to a family and wanted to be judged on their merit, it would have gone in a different direction. But, right from the start, it was “a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” Women and men need each other; being hateful because someone was kind enough to open a door for you has made many perfectly nice men bitter.
Then there was the attack on masculinity and everything that men characteristically enjoy. Some men have responded to that by becoming creepy soyboys, some have responded by becoming ugly, repellent parodies of women (this is what most trans men and drag queens are about), others have gone all out to emphasize their traditional masculine qualities. The delight that trans “women” take in invading feminine spaces is, IMHO, a way of saying “You despised me as a man, now I’m going to invade your spaces while pretending to be a woman. Let’s see how you like that!” In other words, there’s a whole bag of passive aggressive game playing in all of this and on both sides. Anyone remember Eric Berne’s book “Games People Play”? Someone could write a much longer one on all the crap that’s bubbling below the surface between men and women, especially at the extreme ends of the spectrum.
The people who abhor feminism the most up here know the least about it.
No, it’s not about hating men. It’s pro-family unit (at least rad fems are). Most of the feminists I know are married to men.
This is what most of the folks up here get wrong. I don’t know why they believe what they do, but whatever.
The twisting of feminism was simply another attempt to create divisions among the cud-chewers.
Respect is earned on an individual level. Nothing else matters.
Unless you are stupid.
Exactly.
There is not ONE type of feminism. Far from it. There is women fighting for equal rights and pay, and to protect kids & women from predators, then there are the pussyhatter Clinton corporate types which are pretty much in the wokie camp.
Interestingly enough that is not the flavor of feminism you espouse. Not judging from what you have posted here over time. To listen to you now it’s almost as if you are essentially saying the women should def get married but then that seems to take away from all those times you said that most of the time marriages bring women down or insinuate so.
SSL remains completely confused.
That’s what happens when you get unhinged in the evenings and read through beer goggles.
LOL that is hilarious. I don’t really care for beer. How am I unhinged at all? Either way you don’t deny it which is progress.
I was being kind.
I’m guessing you’re more of a gin type of gal.
Actually crown royal peach with sprite is yummy 🙂
Poor benr. You probably had no idea the can of worms you were opening.
I did discuss above how it harms women and so did Paula. The others just did their strawman/attack/whining thing as they are doing here.
Poor me?
No one attacked me and I was just adding to the discussion with something I stumbled across.
Even if I am attacked it’s ok nothing anyone here says about me bothers me one iota.
At least people are reading my contributions such as they are and that is good.
I have no dog in this fight and I think just about everything said has some truth to it.
I believe the transgender agenda is damaging to everyone queer, straight, female, male, young or old.
Yeah the transgender agenda is damaging to everyone. Got that right 100%.
benr if you want to read lots of horrific ways the trans agenda affects women, this is one of the best reporting sites on it. Brilliant women doing great in-depth researching and reporting.
Here’s one new story, horrific as most of them are:
https://reduxx.info/girl-gone-a-trans-teen-was-removed-from-her-parents-care-then-she-was-sexually-abused/
Check out the site and it will become increasingly clear that the more visible men in dresses are the biggest groomers and pedos.
Not only is the trans agenda anti-woman, but it’s also homophobic. I am happy to see lots of new LGB groups kicking the T to the curb.
Well well well.
From my NYT email feed.
No idea why I have this; I didn’t ask for it and generally do not read it. But today the headline hooked me: “The Climate’s Improved.”
Hmmm. The NYT is obviously putting this out in service to a political agenda, methinks.
Why are they suddenly pulling back on the fearmongering and panic? What have the tweakers of the public psyche decided is needed now? Maybe to relax and vote Dem. Instead of panic and vote Dem? Where are we in the good cop/bad cop cycle?
IMO this is a message to keep “moving people along” with the climate narrative. Oh, and don’t worry about this winter’s fuel prices.

“The Climate’s Improved”
October 27, 2022
Good morning. What was once the worst-case scenario for climate change seems much less likely.
[[[caption Wind turbines in Nebraska.Walker Pickering for The New York Times]]
An optimistic shift
Five years ago, the journalist David Wallace-Wells explored a worst-case scenario for climate change: one in which the planet warmed by as much as 5 degrees Celsius by 2100 causing widespread extreme weather, economic collapse, famine and war.
Now, David sees that level of doom as much less likely, he writes in an essay for this Sunday’s climate issue of The New York Times Magazine, where he is a columnist. While 5 degrees of warming once seemed possible, scientists now estimate that the Earth is on track to warm by 2 to 3 degrees. That difference might not seem huge, but it translates to fewer record-breaking floods, storms, droughts and heat waves and potentially thousands or millions of lives saved in the coming decades.
“The window of possible climate futures is narrowing, and as a result, we are getting a clearer sense of what’s to come: a new world, full of disruption but also billions of people, well past climate normal and yet mercifully short of true climate apocalypse,” David wrote.
In other words, humanity has made progress on one of the most serious challenges it has ever faced. “I’ve grown more optimistic than I used to be,” David told me. “The endgame looks calmer and more stable than it did a few years ago.”
So how did we get to this point? There are three major explanations: First, the use of coal, which provides about 30 percent of the world’s energy, is expected to further decline. Second, renewable energy prices have plummeted since 2010 —solar power more than 85 percent, wind more than 55 percent— and that affordability has made them a viable alternative to fossil fuels.
Finally, global powers have adopted serious plans to fight climate change. Those countries include the United States, which recently enacted sweeping incentives for cleaner energy through the Inflation Reduction Act. Such policies could push warming down even more than experts estimate now.
An unfinished job
Better does not mean good. David emphasized that 2 or 3 degrees of warming is still above the target that scientists have described as relatively safe. A United Nations report released yesterday warned that countries are falling short of their commitments to fight climate change, putting us on a path toward otherwise preventable disasters.
Consider what we have seen just this year: Deadly flooding and heat waves spread in the U.S. In Europe and China, droughts dried up rivers, exposing sunken warships and cutting off supply routes. In Pakistan, a heat wave sent temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and monsoon floods submerged a third of the country.
Even under the most optimistic climate forecasting models, such extreme weather will get worse and become more common in the coming decades.
It will be particularly bad for developing countries, which have fewer resources to adapt to climate disasters, even though rich countries have contributed to the majority of climate emissions (as I explained in this newsletter).
“If you had asked a politically cynical person 30 years ago what the climate future looked like, they might have answered that we’d end up at a temperature level that was difficult but manageable for the rich countries of the world but much, much harder for developing nations,” David said. “And that looks like what we’re heading for.”
The takeaway is mixed: The improving trends show that humanity can act and make progress on this issue. But more action is still needed to avert more climate disasters, especially in the most vulnerable places.
Read David’s full story, which explores what the more optimistic climate trends mean for all of us.
I’m not sure I buy his three major explanations, regardless of whether or not the whole climate change thingy is a hoax or not.
The plausibility of “fixing” AGW took a huge hit this week. An announcement came out saying that if Paris goals were to be met that right now emissions should be reduced by 43%. Nope, data shows it has increased by 11%. What a frikking joke. Take that Kerry and the rest of you idiots.
Now, remember that most of it probably comes from Asia. Biden et al stupidity is that he will crucify the US people economically trying to make targets that are impossible. For example. I watch the number of EVs on the roads and have seen an uptick in their numbers. But as a percentage of total cars, hardly noticible. The AGW boys always talk about big % changes in EVs but their denominator is always the miniscule number of EVs. American manufacturers, GM especially, are kow towing to the Biden idiocy and converting to EVs at $60000 and more.
They are going to come into a hard landing. Things will change with hopefully more conservative governments.
If not, wait 30 years, Peak oil will solve the problem.
I think the ultimate goal with the EVs is for the well to do to convert and for everyone else to go without altogether. I don’t see interstate or even routine local driving being around much longer. Hence the push for Amazon and all the delivery services. Where will those people earn money for even that? That’s where the vaxxes, lockdowns, and food shortages come in.
Absolutely.

Guaranteed income ie welfare checks. Just enough to keep you scrambling to keep ahead of the tsunami of debt.
what about inflation. Inflation is bad now. what will it be like soon?
I vaguely remember Obama talking about inflation as if it did not matter and could be used to inflate away the debt.
Of course, he failed to mention it also destroyed people’s savings and buying power but hey when the government can just print endless money who worries about the impending Weimar republic event?
Let them eat cake.
I believe the digital slavery includes wiping out personal debt if you accept the UBI and whatever chips or quacksines are required on a regular basis.
Back in the 50’s traffic was so sparse that kids could play ball games in the street and ride bicycles all around town safely. But not today. And everyone tells me that the car culture we’ve created is the best ever. And while they are telling me this, I see that their children are completely and totally incarcerated and controlled. Those children never get to experience what life is like on their own with no confused adults hovering around them 24 hours a day. The car culture sucks and is an extremely unhealthy environment for children to grow up in. The coming 2 wheeled culture will have some very good aspects – as well as some horrifying ones for those unwilling or unable to adapt.
Dis
You forget trucking. The PTB will not have the roads as they will deteriorate with no gas taxes. High speed passenger rail and regular freight rail could lift some of the burden.
Twenty years from now, most transportation capital maybe flowing into high speed and local rail. Electrically powered. Could be a result of the falling feasibility of personal autos.
Jazzer,
No, I think trucking will be the main use for the interstates. They will all be electrified, digitized, and all that, with trains eventually merging with long haul long semis (3, 4 or possibly many more trailers attached to a single tractor). Think about it. Why settle for rails, when “smart” roads can be so much more flexible?
LOL what a hilarious and pathological notion people apparently have that they can “fix” anything regarding the climate. The literal scale of it would be something humans cannot muster with current technology. But humans can do a great deal of damage to local and regional ecologies and of course that damage can add up very quickly with growing populations.
The powers that be don’t want to have the real discussion. Climate gives them a false choice argument that can be weaponized to destroy and dispossess populations and that is how the are proceeding. And the stupid sheeple masses agree to argue about “climate change” which is essentially capitulating to the powers that be terms from the outset. This is how the pigs fool the sheep every time.
SSL
I agree on all counts.
Especially this:
” But humans can do a great deal of damage to local and regional ecologies and of course that damage can add up very quickly with growing populations.
The powers that be don’t want to have the real discussion. ”
A real discussion is taking place at Gail Tverberg’s Our Finite World blog. She notes that politicians and our “leaders” do not dare come clean with the public.
Instead, they lead the public down a garden path but one that is also a huge guilt trip. Then they continue on with their wars, the latter being the most destructive activity on planet Earth.
Yes, and especially as it appears that they are willing to escalate to nuclear way. Which I cannot figure out since that seems to be something that would poison the well for everyone.
The hard landing will be the sudden realization that the 4 wheeled culture is over and done with, and that the future will be mostly on two wheels for the average person. The choice will be bicycles or small motorbikes that get around 100 mpg. The most popular wheeled vehicle of all time is still the red Chinese “Flying Pigeon” bicycle. They made more of these than of any other model after chairman Mao decided that China would become more mobile on two wheels. Better and faster than walking and cheaper than buses. Maybe we’ll name our future bicycle something like the “Flying Fuck”, or the “Flying American”. Now when I was a kid, I had an American Flyer bicycle.
Woodchuck, what about winters in cold climates? How will you ride a bike around in Bangor, Maine in January when its -11°F outside?
I have this old book around here by a guy named Alexander Pope. He was a Civil War Vet who founded the Columbia Bicycle Company, later on manufactured EVs and gasoline powered vehicles. He comments how popular bicycling was 1880-1900, leading to improvement of public roads, but when automobiles came along how quickly bikes were abandoned and cars adopted, and bicycles became more or less children’s toys. Jack London talks about this in one of his books too.
Actually, around here anyway, bicycling seems to be another activity that is fading. You don’t see bicycle commuters anymore, except for a few diehards. Even people biking around the village is a relatively rare sight.
Well, if/when motor fuel becomes unavailable or strictly rationed, what to do? You might be forced to move somewhere else with a milder climate and become an economic refugee. Or you could try and make do with what you have. What do the people in Maine have in abundance? Firewood! There are you tube videos of people who have done this conversion to a full sized pickup truck. One such video is “Firing up the woodgas truck”. It’s an F150 truck with a gasifier unit in back.
The first time I’d ever heard of wood powered internal combustion engines was from a relative who saw them on the roads in East Germany during the cold war era. East Germans didn’t have easy access to motor fuels, and their cars were a joke. It seems some people made these contraptions out of junk laying around. The gasifier’s burner in the video, the unit’s firebox so to speak, is made from welding together a couple of recycled water heater tanks. Stuff people toss to the roadsides for the scrappers to haul away. A person with a decent welding shop and a big pile of scrap metal can build one of these. They aren’t rocket science and they are quite safe compared to something like a steam boiler.
Another option is a long haired draft horse that likes pulling sleds. A horse like that makes plenty of poop. Dry it and use buffalo chips to power your gasifier contraption. When you drive by someplace, people will be sniffing the air and figure what you are burning today to power your vehicle. Burning trash and poop always gets their attention.;
Electric powered bicycles?
We have one of those, JAZ. It comes in handy when I’m working around the property and have pounded down too many beers, and I find myself needing more beer, but am in no condition to drive. I bust out the electric bike for the 1 mile trip to the Village Market. It moves along pretty good at 15 mph.
One can just look at the ridiculous predictions in Al Gore’s 2005 movie to see what an utter crock of shit this all is.
Nothing has changed since 2005, not in any significant way, except for now everyone freaks out about the weather every time something changes.
Mary
You are forgetting Peak Oil. 2050, it will make no difference about the AGW FF arguments, oil will be running out anyway.
A lot of the arguing about how to handle AGW is moot, Peak Oil makes finding the alternatives mandatory.
Well that was not my point (sorry if I did stray from any points) but these assholes claimed that the coasts would be underwater by now.
And then they proceeded to buy beachfront property, etc.
It’s a scam.
Not-So-Great Reset: Live In A Box, Don’t Move, Be Surveilled, Shut Up, Eat Bugs
“Others are quickly picking up on the World Economic Forum’s Technocratic domination of the world. Instead of “eliminate poverty”, it’s poverty for all. Instead of “jobs with dignity for all”, it’s sit at home and get paid Universal Basic Income. Instead of “pursuit of happiness”, it’s “You will own nothing and be happy”. ? TN Editor
Michael Walsh, author of Against the Great Reset: Eighteen Theses Contra the New World Order, noted on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow that the World Economic Forum’s [WEF] Great Reset program seeks to reduce the human population while restricting freedoms under the auspices of what the leftist organization describes as “climate change” and “public health” pursuits.
Walsh recalled how the WEF’s Great Reset operation was widely dismissed by leftists as a “conspiracy theory,” despite the WEF regularly promoting its Malthusian vision on its website, at its hosted discussion panels, and on its podcast titled The Great Reset.”

Well based on your idea of logic then you obviously support the Great Reset agenda.
How so? I can’t wait to hear this one.
Strawman comin’ up.
Yes, since Matt Walsh is a traditionalist, Mary has to be against everything he says.
He against both the Trans and the Rad Fems – and that doesn’t compute in Mary’s book. If you’re against the Rad Fems, you have to be down with the Trans agenda since you hate women.
What does Matt Walsh have to do with this post?
You & SSL have become a knee-jerk version of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
All I have to do is post and you’re off to the races with your 1984-styled “Two Minutes Hate” – hilarious.
Sorry, Mary! I see now that it’s Michael not Matt – whom you like for being against the Trans but hate for being traditional. I remember you talking about him. You’re not going to deny that, are you?
Egg meet face.
Yep I am going to deny that I hate Matt Walsh. Just watched 2 episodes of his show last night, and watched and supported his movie.
I don’t like that he calls feminists really gross names, like you do, but unlike you, he does some stellar work against the trans agenda and woke culture.
Another fail on your part, Jarek. This is what happens to people who don’t actually read for comprehension and can’t read others (or listen to them).
Ok, I’m like Matt Walsh. So don’t rave about how I’m pro-trans anymore, k?
Recently my wife attended her 55 year HS Class Reunion. A close friend, Karen K and her husband Terry M flew in from San Fran to attend as well. Bo and I and Peter took Karen and Terry out to lunch a couple of days ago. Peter came along since he knew Karen well. They had lived only a couple of blocks from one another. I had two concerns about Peter joining us for this luncheon: 1. That his pants would drop to his ankles and 2. That he would make some crude reference to “niggers.”
I was less concerned about Peter’s pants falling when I noticed that Terry had a similar problem, i.e. nearly non-existent buttocks and his own pants ready to drop. I was more concerned about Peter using the n-word for reasons I’m about to explain.
At some point Karen moved from Central NJ to the San Fran, CA area where she met and married Terry. They wanted a family but were unable to conceive. They decided to adopt. The first was a biracial boy. A so-called “love child” resulting from the hook-up of a black male and a white female. A while later they adopted a second biracial boy and in due time a biracial girl. Word got around that there was this White couple adopting Black (actually mulatto) babies and on two occasions Karen stepped out her front door and found a Black baby in a cardboard box on her step. She had to call Social Services to take these abandoned babies off her hands.
As time went on Karen and Terry began to have problems with the first adopted son. He was diagnosed as schizophrenic. He acquired a criminal record. He threatened to kill his parents. They had to get a “restraining order” whatever that means.
The second adopted son hooked up with a Black woman and fathered 3 children with her. She is bi-polar. They don’t want to marry as that would affect the welfare she receives for the three kids. These three kids are Karen and Terry’s only grandchildren.
The third adopted child, the girl, is the closest to “normal” but still lives at home, has no job and is very dependent on Karen and Terry. Even during our luncheon the daughter called with some question about medical coverage.
My wife is heartbroken about how life has turned out for her old friend Karen who, on top of everything else, is fat and has to use a walker due to some spine issue. Bo had warned me not to make some anti-religious remark because Karen is a “big Catholic.”
A friend of mine is dealing with one of his daughter’s torrid love affairs with a redheaded freckled half black kid. Ugliest person inside and out I think I have ever seen.
The byproduct of their indiscretion are twin boys both with some mental issues.
She drank and did some drugs while pregnant and to add to the injury of these two children the “sperm donor” shook at least one or both of them into the hospital.
I say sperm donor because calling him a father is a disservice to even the worst live-in father you could think of.
The daughter is now living in a halfway house getting over addiction issues and the two boys now live full time with the grandparents one of which is none too happy about the situation.
The sperm donor is in jail for theft and possibly child abuse.
My hope is he gets what he richly deserves for destroying three people’s lives.
The shame of it is both these kids are super cute but partial wards of the state costing taxpayers.
They have learning disabilities and mental health issues requiring medication and will never be functional adults.
At the ripe age of four both are still in diapers.
Basically, a Democrats wet dream.
benr.
You have my sympathy.
Back in the 1800’s USA you’d not find many young people able to live in the manner some do now. These type people would pass away quickly from natural causes – like starvation and disease. Or they’d get off their asses and get productive and have a life. One way or the other, things happened fast. You either lived or you died, you didn’t hang around for years living as a useless parasite.
Talk about Black Irish.
Yes, here is a big difference between the two belief systems.
Dems want to tolerate these perverted people, Wokesters to the point of promoting their behavior.
GOP, the conservative types, want to promote ways to help these folks to adjust, to moderate and failing that placing them in places where they do but hurt anyone else.
Dems call their insanity, Democracy.
GOP calls their way, compassion.
Think about this, Democracy states are where all the homeless go. The results of this destruction shows that the protection Dems give to Democracy is a sham.
That’s just really sad. Sounds like those kids have really done a number on that poor couple.
Given the state of America in 2022, conservatives should stop calling themselves conservatives.
John Daniel Davidson
Why? Because the conservative project has largely failed, and it is time for a new approach. Conservatives have long defined their politics in terms of what they wish to conserve or preserve — individual rights, family values, religious freedom, and so on. Conservatives, we are told, want to preserve the rich traditions and civilizational achievements of the past, pass them on to the next generation, and defend them from the left. In America, conservatives and classical liberals alike rightly believe an ascendent left wants to dismantle our constitutional system and transform America into a woke dystopia. The task of conservatives, going back many decades now, has been to stop them.
In an earlier era, this made sense. There was much to conserve. But any honest appraisal of our situation today renders such a definition absurd. After all, what have conservatives succeeded in conserving? In just my lifetime, they have lost much: marriage as it has been understood for thousands of years, the First Amendment, any semblance of control over our borders, a fundamental distinction between men and women, and, especially of late, the basic rule of law.
Calling oneself a conservative in today’s political climate would be like saying one is a conservative because one wants to preserve the medieval European traditions of arranged marriage and trial by combat. Whatever the merits of those practices, you cannot preserve or defend something that is dead. Perhaps you can retain a memory of it or knowledge of it. But that is not what conservatism was purportedly about. It was about maintaining traditions and preserving Western civilization as a living and vibrant thing.
Well, too late. Western civilization is dying. The traditions and practices that conservatives champion are, at best, being preserved only in an ever-shrinking private sphere. At worst, they are being trampled to dust. They certainly do not form the basis of our common culture or civic life, as they did for most of our nation’s history.
To talk now of “family values” is to assume that there are enough Americans able and willing to marry and raise children together for something like “family values” to matter in the public discourse, much less in the halls of power. To talk of defending “religious freedom” is to misapprehend that the real risk today is widespread irreligion, which will leave so few religious Americans in the coming generations that the government and large corporations will inevitably — and easily — persecute them.
Conservatives are still invoking these things as if they are magic incantations that can roll back time, just as they did during the crucial decades of the past half-century when a cultural and technological revolution was re-making America before their eyes, and they did nothing to stop it.
In a recent essay for Compact, Jon Askonas argues convincingly that the conservative project failed because “it didn’t take into account the revolutionary principle of technology, and its intrinsic connection to the telos of sheer profit.” Conservatives, he says, were too obsessed with “left-wing revolutionary politics” and missed the real threat, which was technological change so swift and powerful it fundamentally reordered society, swept tradition aside, and unleashed a moral relativism that rendered the conservative project obsolete.
Instead of questioning these technologies, asking whether they would contribute to human flourishing, conservatives acquiesced to their inevitability and focused instead on narrower issues. The result has been the transformation of society within the span of a single human lifetime, and with it the wholesale destruction of our traditions and the looming implosion of Western civilization.
While it might be necessary, as Askonas argues, to enact a serious program of technological development to build a future that supports human flourishing, it is also the case that to do so on a scale sufficient to save our country will require political power — and the willingness to use it.
So what kind of politics should conservatives today, as inheritors of a failed movement, adopt? For starters, they should stop thinking of themselves as conservatives (much less as Republicans) and start thinking of themselves as radicals, restorationists, and counterrevolutionaries. Indeed, that is what they are, whether they embrace those labels or not.
They might, looking to American history for inspiration, conjure up the image of the Pilgrims — those iron-willed and audacious Christians who refused to accept the terms set by the mainstream of their time and set out to build something entirely new, to hew it out of the wilderness of the New World, even at great personal cost.
Or they might claim the mantle of revolutionaries, invoking the Founding Fathers’ view (or, at least, Thomas Jefferson’s) that periodic revolution to preserve liberty and civil society has always been and always will be necessary.
Whatever the term or image, the imperative that conservatives must break from the past and forge a new political identity cannot be overstated. It is time now for something new, for a new way of thinking and speaking about what conservative politics should be. The fusionism of past decades, in which conservatives made common cause with market-obsessed libertarians and foreign policy neocons, is finished. So too is Conservatism Inc. and the establishment GOP it enabled, whose first priority was always tax cuts for big business at the expense of everything else. The election of Donald Trump in 2016 heralded a populist wave and the end of Republican politics as we knew it, and now we are in uncharted waters.
To be sure, there has been plenty of talk on the right lately about what should be done differently now. Some, such as Sohrab Ahmari, Gladden Pappin, and Adrian Vermeule (along with a larger cohort of conservative Catholic thinkers), advocate a conservatism that is comfortable with big government and in fact sees it as necessary not only for the common good but to tame what Ahmari recently called the “private tyranny” of woke corporations empowered by unrestrained market forces. Conservative Catholics, he argues, should today claim ownership of a pro-worker, even pro-union political agenda that once belonged to the left, and which produced generations of Democrat-voting Catholic workers.
Indeed, a willingness to embrace government power has been a topic of fruitful debate on the “New Right” in recent years, as it should be. However uncomfortable traditional “small-government” conservatives might be with Ahmari’s argument, it is more or less true.
Put bluntly, if conservatives want to save the country they are going to have to rebuild and in a sense re-found it, and that means getting used to the idea of wielding power, not despising it. Why? Because accommodation or compromise with the left is impossible. One need only consider the speed with which the discourse shifted on gay marriage, from assuring conservatives ahead of the 2015 Obergefell decision that gay Americans were only asking for toleration, to the never-ending persecution of Jack Phillips.
The left will only stop when conservatives stop them, which means conservatives will have to discard outdated and irrelevant notions about “small government.” The government will have to become, in the hands of conservatives, an instrument of renewal in American life — and in some cases, a blunt instrument indeed.
To stop Big Tech, for example, will require using antitrust powers to break up the largest Silicon Valley firms. To stop universities from spreading poisonous ideologies will require state legislatures to starve them of public funds. To stop the disintegration of the family might require reversing the travesty of no-fault divorce, combined with generous subsidies for families with small children. Conservatives need not shy away from making these arguments because they betray some cherished libertarian fantasy about free markets and small government. It is time to clear our minds of cant.
In other contexts, wielding government power will mean a dramatic expansion of the criminal code. It will not be enough, for example, to reach an accommodation with the abortion regime, to agree on “reasonable limits” on when unborn human life can be snuffed out with impunity. As Abraham Lincoln once said of slavery, we must become all one thing or all the other. The Dobbs decision was in a sense the end of the beginning of the pro-life cause. Now comes the real fight, in state houses across the country, to outlaw completely the barbaric practice of killing the unborn.
Conservatives had better be ready for it, and Republican politicians, if they want to stay in office, had better have an answer ready when they are asked what reasonable limits to abortion restrictions they would support. The answer is: none, for the same reason they would not support reasonable limits to restrictions on premeditated murder.
On the transgender question, conservatives will have to repudiate utterly the cowardly position of people like David French, in whose malformed worldview Drag Queen Story Hour at a taxpayer-funded library is a “blessing of liberty.” Conservatives need to get comfortable saying in reply to people like French that Drag Queen Story Hour should be outlawed; that parents who take their kids to drag shows should be arrested and charged with child abuse; that doctors who perform so-called “gender-affirming” interventions should be thrown in prison and have their medical licenses revoked; and that teachers who expose their students to sexually explicit material should not just be fired but be criminally prosecuted.
If all that sounds radical, fine. It need not, at this late hour, dissuade conservatives in the least. Radicalism is precisely the approach needed now because the necessary task is nothing less than radical and revolutionary.
To those who worry that power corrupts, and that once the right seizes power it too will be corrupted, they certainly have a point. If conservatives manage to save the country and rebuild our institutions, will they ever relinquish power and go the way of Cincinnatus? It is a fair question, and we should attend to it with care after we have won the war.
For now, there are only two paths open to conservatives. Either they awake from decades of slumber to reclaim and re-found what has been lost, or they will watch our civilization die. There is no third road.
Jarek: The above is a big step towards Fascism, which is of course great being the third path, the apex of the triangle that resolves capitalism and communism, but on a whole new and higher line – not an uneasy midpoint like socialism; in other words, the higher third.
The article is very strong on social issues, but approaches the economic question on a high theoretical level. Davidson obviously fears telling people that Capitalism per se has to go. But at least he says fairly clearly, by quoting another author, that the profit motive in not capable of justly guiding a civilization, in and of itself.
If this revolution will overturn and reverse addictions to economic growth and aimless tech development, and proportion population numbers to some kind of more sustainable economic system, I will not gripe at all about the anti-abortion obsession being superstitious legalism.
There’s a third road, it will likely be the one taken after all the dust settles. It might simply be a part of natural law that democracies and republics simply don’t and cannot work. It’s a machine with an internal design flaw than human nature. Defining “human nature” is a perilous task because humans might be in bondage to evil disembodied entities. Our thoughts might not be entirely our own, and that complicates matters. At any rate, it might simply not be possible in the first place to have a long lived republic. The average lifespan of a republic is around 250 years, yet everyone in the West seems to think that the government of their own particular country or nation will last up to a 1000 years. That’s never happened before in history. There are some very old and famous Western European dynasties that lasted a 1000 years before their final fall after WWI. Republics fail because the “glue” that holds them together is more akin to library paste than gorilla glue. When the dollar fails completely, and there’s no food and no fuel for the USA, the country will be forced to rely on state and local governments for help. The central government by that time will be in so much confusion and disarray that they won’t be able to provide any assistance during a real national crisis. I think JHK wrote once that our federal government during the Long Emergency will be so impotent and broke that they might have trouble finding resources to hire people to answer the phone.
There can be some democracy without letting every idiot vote. Even among traditional tribal people, the elders vote on issues or sometimes even who is to be chief. So in this sense at least, Democracy didn’t start with the Greeks, but is rather, wide spread and even more ancient.
And of course neither Fascism or National Socialism are against intelligent Democracy by qualified voters.
What are qualified voters?
Explain in detail.
“What are qualified voters”
That’s like asking “who is qualified to fly fighter jets”? Obviously, only a very small and very exceptionally talented and gifted group of people would qualify for that job. The job itself would weed out the less qualified by killing them in accidents.
A qualified voter should be held to similar standards. Unless the elector has knowledge, wisdom, education, and experience etc. at work when casting a vote, that vote is meaningless as a way of choosing a qualified candidate. Voting data should contain information that leads to the very best person for the job being elected. Unfortunately, when completely uniformed and essentially illiterate people are voting, then the worst people are elected and the republic/democracy fails completely. A place to start would be repealing the 19th amendment. There’s no need for mass voting, for things to work well the people voting should be the ones that are best informed. For this a free press is needed, and the people voting should be spending a considerable amount of their free/spare time studying and observing what’s going on in the nation, what the real issues are, what people are upset about etc. That all takes time, lots of time.
People that vote should be just as well informed about the state of the world as the people are in this forum. Even the people in here that we might disagree with, Jarek for example, come in here prepared to defend their positions with quotes, facts, books, articles, etc. The person who shouldn’t be voting is the person who votes according to what his/her tv set tells them.
I’m waiting to see if my comment about the 19th amendment will stir up some shit, we need more shit in here, Q ain’t doin’ enough.
You have just eliminated a good 80 percent of the electorate, Wood.
“Unfortunately, when completely uniformed and essentially illiterate people are voting, then the worst people are elected and the republic/democracy fails completely.”
So true.
This is admirably and irrefutably demonstrated by the GOP primary process that has selected the likes of Mehmet Oz, MTG, Lauren B, Herschel Walker, Ron Johnson, Jim Jordan, JD Vance and so on, let alone the crazies standing for State seats.
80% I could do better than that. Or to soften the blow: Graduated citizenship, with many able to vote at the local level, fewer at the state, and fewer still at the federal.
Any people centered political system requires a certain degree of intelligence from Joe Average. Knowledge of what a republic is, individual responsibility, freedom is mandatory.
THAT is why the US republicanism is failing.
Western civilization is dying? The part of Western Civ that’s dying is the extravagant fossil fuel dependent lifestyle. Yeah, that part of it is doomed. Instead, living conditions at best will lurch back to the early 1950’s if we are lucky. At worst, we are going back to the late 1800’s when electricity was a novelty and a lot of the work was done by man and mule. Our future will be low tech, and those unwilling or unable to make that transition will likely perish. Those that carry on will occupy the planet in the same way we humans always have. We somehow think that our current living conditions are normal and that our lifestyles will continue on for an indefinite period of time. That won’t happen, and our current lifestyles are not only abnormal but they are unsustainable. An honest look at all the mental illness and delusional people out there tells us that we’re not happy living like this anyway.
It amazes me how the WEF narrative brings in the lefties.
How can you not see that what we are experiencing is being artificially created?
They even tell you their plans: To use a series of crises to usher in a new monetary system and an associated system of control.
When you know the destination, the journey becomes clear.
I used to think the majority of the left was rather level-headed when it came to environmentalism, and socio-economic issues.
Now all I can do is laugh.
The plans of the WEF rely on unlimited electricity and undisturbed internet access.
That is every bit as deluded as believing that humanity can continue to breed like yeast in an ever-expanding barrel.
To quote George Bush the Lesser: This sucker is coming down.
Your comment is simplistic with regard to both the WEF plan and the idea that humanity is going to breed the planet into extinction.
The Bush quote is a non-sequitur in context.
What I don’t get with the WEF plan as they are stating it, is it seems to directly clash with the Green New Deal. They are saying we MUST use less fossil fuels or end them, but everything they rely on to control us runs off fossil fuels.
Since they aren’t stupid enough to believe alternative energy can do that, what is their actual REAL plan?
And then of course there’s the problem that technology is really not that great when it comes down to it. Most modes of control we can just chuck into the ocean if we decide to. How are they going to make sure EVERYONE has a $1500 smart phone or iPhone to control us through? What if tomorrow everyone decides that phones suck? There are way too many holes in their plan.
I like the points, MQ. In my opinion, one must consider possibility that things are pretty much as they seem, and the WEFers ARE deluded about what they can accomplish without fossil fuels.
What if they’re simply actually as dumb and self-deluded as their policies appear to reflect? As deluded, basically, as your average climate change “Just stop oiler”?
That is where the chips come in, Mary.
You can’t toss an embedded chip.
And I think they want to run the system with nuclear power, but it turns out that nuclear power plants need a backup fossil fuel system for emergency cooldowns.
I think they are not going to be able to do it.
I also think that when the fossil fuels go, a few billion people go, no matter how much NO claps his hands and chants “I believe in humans! Up with people.”
Even chips can be removed.
Say a few million fall for the bullshit, and get chips. Then they realize what they’ve done.
New market for doctors who can remove chips!
I agree: I don’t think they can pull it off.
I was listening to Max Igan this morning. He said they are just a handful of people with a big PR platform making illuminati symbols to scare everyone but they are just people and we need to stop fearing them and allowing them to run our lives.
Also: If chips are electronic, can’t one just electronically destroy it, without even removing it? I’m thinking an Xray machine might do it…
Mary,
It is because under the WEF plan, it is you who no longer enjoys the luxuries afforded by fossil fuels and the extraction of abundant natural resources.
Because the plan is about ushering in a replacement financial system and system of control.
That is all there is to it.
The cartoonish environmental narratives exist for the masses, so that they enter the New Normal quietly, willingly.
How can you see a cock in Jacinda Ardern’s skirt?
How could you believe that Trump would remain President?
How can you believe that the vaccines are bioweapons?
Your credibility is severely tarnished by the whack-job tropes you continually hammer on which leaves many finding it impossible to believe ANYTHING you say.
All I can do is laugh.
How can you believe that all these things are not.
I am just as incredulous about you.
You have no credibility.
Night Owl has gone crackers. Night Owl has exited the building.
Night Owl enjoys your comedy, Malthus bro.
Gus, I think they are bluffing nearly 90%. Sure they have laid out this plan for decades, but it doesn’t mean it’s all built on a house of cards.
correction: “it’s NOT all built on a house of cards.”
Yes.
Your forecast may be right on. The result of Peak oil, by 2050.
EVs will not fix it, mass transit will help, but the way people travel will change drastically. We need to invest in that now. A really big one is the airlines, how to find a way to long distance travel.
High speed rail! It is time now to start. So that when the airlines start to disappear, there will be a competitive alternative.
I would so prefer high speed rail. I hate flying.
Hollywood films shape the minds of Westerners but also, due to their Global reach, the rest of the world as well. – RADIO ISLAM
That’s a shame.
Two billion in one day – Ye. How does that fit into Alba’s thesis that Whites control the West? Anyone think he would have lost that two billion if he criticized Whites?
It is a class issue.
This may not sit well with Stormfront bros.
No not really. Ye didn’t speak of a class. He specifically called out a grouping of people. If he would have just called out the Elites generally or any other ethnic group he would not have been debanked and economically disappeared. But what is more troubling is your response because now that the precedent is set it will happen to more and more people. Now saying the word “globalist” is considered antisemitic. Wait until it is antisemitic to be against vaccines and forced medical implants. You don’t think they won’t try to do that? LOL please.
Yes, really.
It is always about class in the end. Even amongst the “Jews,” there is a monetary hierarchy, just as there is among “whites” (which of course is a melting pot of cultures).
When you learn that race, sex, gender, etc. are wedges used by your financial overlords (among others) to divide and conquer, you will be one step farther down the path of winning most bigly.
informationliberation.com/?id=63429
Sounds like it wasn’t taken to be about class, but you tell me
And yet open discrimination is literally allowed against whites in hiring and in schooling and in every aspect of society and day and night the media is constantly drumming up what will eventually be a total genocide of whites. And if you try to stop it they will destroy your life, jail you, take away your kids you name it.
It was once the same for blacks, the Irish, the Italians, etc.
The small-minded focus on race.
For your overlords, life is about the accumulation of resources, and controlling you.
So, I tell you that Alex Thomson concluded that the bulk of the elite families are Anglo-Americans and that becomes ‘Alba’s thesis’?
Seriously, how do you get away with such disingenuous crap, even in your own fevered brain?
I have no view whatever on who runs the West, other than that it is hugely rich people. I am not Alex Thomson and I don’t know enough about what Alex Thomson was lecturing about to be able to meaningfully agree with him or not. But I do massively respect his knowledge and intellect. And I think it’s worth mentioning a view that is not the same as yours.
And I’ll second Bob Moran’s tweet:
“If you’re somebody deeply involved in the ‘globalist’ project, that is to say you wish to push humanity towards a joyless system of absolute control & moral inversion, you may publicly identify as Jewish, Catholic, Muslim etc but you are none of those things.
You’re simply evil.”
Lots of disingenuous crap from Jarek this week. AKA the usual…
I brought receipts. Read them and weep.
Into the sauce again, I see.
It really is beyond stunning to me at how you cavilierly ignore an issue of monumental gravity and have the audacity to insinuate that I am “into the sauce again”. It’s because you know its true but your worldview structure will simply not allow this information to be assimilated within it. You can’t properly practice magic if you live under spells. I shouldn’t have to tell you that. You’re welcome. Ting!!
Well, I have no idea what your inane ramblings are about, and they always seem to get more unhinged in the evening, so I’ve come to my own conclusions.
I could be wrong.
What the hell does “I brought receipts. Read them and weep.” even mean?
Please do explain.
When you’re sober, preferably.
Ok, but it sounded like you had adopted it as your own. If you quote someone and say how brilliant they are, you’re going to leave that impression.
And quoting Bob Moran above, it sounds again like you have.
In any case, people can trash Whites all day, every day and nothing happens to them. In fact, there’s a lot of money in it for some. But mention the Tribe and it’s a whole different story.
Who was it that first said that you know who is in charge by who you can’t criticize at all? I think we now know – or should.
Like many people I spent a good number of years writing academic essays. In an essay, you may quote this person and that person and discuss their positions rationally. You are not required to endorse any of them. On the face of it, Alex Thomson’s statement (which was only made in passing, since it was not the point) seems to be worth considering.
And questioning whether or not Jews run the world – or more accurately whether or not those who primarily run the world happen to be Jewish (since most Jewish people run nothing more than their own lives) is not the same as saying they may not be questioned. The Israeli government may certainly be questioned. And the actions of any individual bank may be questioned, regardless of who owns it.
If the Jews didn’t exist – or had been completely annihilated – and ‘the world’ seemed to be run by Anglo-Americans (for instance), would you characterise the elites as ‘white’ or just ‘rich and powerful’, or ‘evil’?
You could listen to the lecture, of course – as I said, you might actually find it interesting. Its subject matter was almost entirely new to me – I spent most of my life unaware of the significance of these families, which I am more than happy to admit.

I had a phone conversation with my local (Rhode Island) heating oil dealer. She told me that there is a lot of talk among New England heating oil distributors that heating oil will probably be “rationed” this winter. She also said if you’re not a regular customer, no heating oil distributor will deal with you. Apparently regular customers have the priority. Locally, ‘green” biodiesel is selling for almost $6.00 a gallon
How would rationing even work? Would everyone get 50% of what they used last year? Does a millionaire with a 10,000 sq. ft. house that burns 3000 gallons get 1500 gallons while Granny only gets her 50 % of say 600 gallons? Will it some how be linked to degree days? I’m no oil dealer but I’d think that the ones with the green in hand are gonna get the oil. Rich folk don’t care about energy costs. The Gulfstreams are still flying out of the local airport all day long. I don’t even think the jet fuel cost is a concern to someone with a 60 million airplane. As our climate czar Kerry says “private jets are the only choice for somebody like me”
You’re overthinking this. The way that rationing would work is there will be a maximum amount of oil you can purchase per delivery. Duh
That doesn’t even make sense. I’ll order a delivery every week instead of every 6 weeks. The oil guy is gonna get really sick of that shit.
“What they are calling spike proteins is a lipid nanoparticle bioweapon backed by artificial intelligence. . . .It’s alive and cognitive, and it is functioning with Quantum dot. This is basically parasitic in nature. That’s what people are shedding, it is this AI bioweapon. When people are removing blood clots, those are bio-synthetic structure parasites. . . .When embalmers remove them, they can continue to develop without the host. They don’t need the human anymore.”
From link above. Good article
Dunno enough to be able to evaluate what she is saying, but I have little doubt that shedding is real. It was referred to in government documents here in Germany, as well as in Pfizer’s own documents.
Good 2 know Night. 😉
A burning ring of fire!

New York (Knewz) — A United States volcano that’s been dormant for more than 800 years is seeing some action.
Researchers with the Alaska Volcano Observatory and Alaska Satellite Facility recently shared research that revealed that magma beneath Mount Edgecumbe, a volcano in Alaska, has been moving upward through the earth’s crust.
The discovery came from new technology the facilities employed that uses computer modeling on satellite imagery. The data showed that magma is rising in a United States volcano that’s been long dormant about 6 miles from a depth of about 12 miles.
It has caused significant surface deformation, according to researchers.
“That’s the fastest rate of volcanic deformation that we currently have in Alaska,” said the research paper’s lead author, Ronni Grapenthin, a University of Alaska Fairbanks associate professor of geodesy.
Yet another rumbling volcanoe!

Hawaii officials are warning residents of the Big Island to prepare for the possibility that the world’s largest active volcano may erupt given a recent spike in earthquakes at the summit of Mauna Loa.
Although an eruption isn’t imminent, scientists are on alert because of a recent spike in earthquakes at the volcano’s summit. Experts say it would take just a few hours for lava to reach homes closest to the volcano, which last erupted in 1984.
“Mauna Loa makes up 51% of the Hawaii Island landmass. So anywhere within that 51% could be impacted by an eruption,” said Talmadge Magno, the administrator for Hawaii County Civil Defense. “Not to panic everybody, but they have to be aware of that you live on the slopes of Mauna Loa. There’s a potential for some kind of lava disaster.”
Mauna Loa, rising 13,679 feet (4,169 meters) above sea level, is the much larger neighbor to Kilauea volcano, which erupted in a residential neighborhood and destroyed 700 homes in 2018.
ts slopes are much steeper than Kilauea’s so when it erupts, its lava can flow downhill much faster. During a 1950 eruption, the mountain’s Honokua lava flow traveled 15 miles (24 kilometers) to the ocean in less than three hours.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, which is part of the U.S. Geological Survey, said Mauna Loa has been in a state of “heightened unrest” since the middle of last month when the number of summit earthquakes jumped from 10 to 20 per day to 40 to 50 per day.
Scientists believe more earthquakes are occurring because more magma is flowing into Mauna Loa’s summit reservoir system from the hot spot under the earth’s surface that feeds molten rock to Hawaii’s volcanoes.
The temblors have declined in frequency in recent days but could rise again.

Dogs and cats living together…mass hysteria.
Proves mother nature has the last laugh.
Just a thought. Could it be that the mantle is getting more active ie hotter and that is passing through the lithosphere starting with the oceans. CO2, being an inferred sink, could trap more of it, but would eventually exhaust the heat.
Volcanic areas in Alaska, Europe, Pacific NW, Hawaii, the Pacific Ring of Fire, are a few areas that are getting warmer. I wonder what is under the North Pole?
Is it 2012 all over again?
Maybe just another cause?
Fucking Joe Biden & The commis Democrats!
They’re even getting volcanoes riled up, they’re so dangerous and pathetic…
Hmmm.
No one has mentioned Poopy Pants Biden except you.
And the wheels on the bus go round and round round and round.
Running over Kamala!
msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kamala-harris-mocked-for-gushing-over-a-yellow-school-bus-they-really-can-t-let-her-talk-in-public
What an idiot.
Something tells me her bus was very short and showed evidence of window licking.
Vice President Kamala Harris experienced a new round mockery after touting her love of “yellow school buses” during her Seattle appearance on Wednesday.
Harris spoke at Lumen Field in Seattle with a backdrop of four electric school buses to announce nearly $1 billion being awarded to school districts to replace older buses with electric vehicles. This funding came in part from the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed in 2021.
During her speech, Harris commented on the nostalgia of a “yellow school bus.”
“Who doesn’t love a yellow school bus, right? Can you raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus? Many of us went to school on the yellow school bus, right? It’s part of our experience growing up. It’s part of a nostalgia, a memory of the excitement and joy of going to school to be with your favorite teacher, to be with your best friends and to learn. The school bus takes us there,” she said.
These comments were mocked on Twitter as another example of embarrassing moments from the vice president.
“Democrats have been hiding Kamala, but she just had a press conference and talked about yellow school buses and my goodness they really can’t let her talk in public about anything,” Radio host Clay Travis tweeted.
“Okay changed my mind about Fetterman,” The Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller joked.
CNN contributor Mary Katherine Ham also joked, “Please sing Wheels on the Bus, please sing Wheels on the Bus.”
“Selina Meyer,” The Federalist author Eddie Scarry tweeted, referencing Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character on the HBO comedy “Veep.”
“This one time? At band camp?” comes to mind.
I wish she’d instead started rambling on about the magic bus painted by the pranksters and driven by Neal Cassady. The old school bus is taking them away on a magic journey to the East and into the rising sun. It’s part of a nostalgia, a memory of being a happy hippy, the joy of LSD and free love. To be with your best friends and to learn. The Magic Bus takes us there, right? To hell with school buses I say! Take the painted bus!
WC,
You conflate the magic bus and all those trappings with your youth.
Love our Bob’s latest cartoon.

Brilliant, as usual. Thanks. 🙂
I can’t agree with much of what Mr. Davidson is saying. He dismisses the old conservative values too readily saying that it’s too late, that Western civilization is dying.
“The traditions and practices that conservatives champion are, at best, being preserved only in an ever-shrinking private sphere. At worst, they are being trampled to dust. They certainly do not form the basis of our common culture or civic life, as they did for most of our nation’s history.”
That shrinking sphere must be expanded and those traditions and practices that conservatives champion must remain as the foundation of true conservatives. Family values are central to the viability of any nation and must not be made to seem outdated. Raising families should be encouraged within the social and political discourse.
“In a recent essay for Compact, Jon Askonas argues convincingly that the conservative project failed because “it didn’t take into account the revolutionary principle of technology, and its intrinsic connection to the telos of sheer profit.” Conservatives, he says, were too obsessed with “left-wing revolutionary politics” and missed the real threat, which was technological change so swift and powerful it fundamentally reordered society, swept tradition aside, and unleashed a moral relativism that rendered the conservative project obsolete.”
No, the real threat was and still is ‘left wing revolutionary politics’ and its control of the media. Technology was better employed by the Left to further its nefarious agenda but saying that it ‘unleashed a moral relativism’ is similar to saying that the electric motor created porn.
That being said, I don’t underestimate the ability of media technology to create moral confusion or a sense of amoral acclimatization, but it did not render ‘the conservative project obsolete.’
“So what kind of politics should conservatives today, as inheritors of a failed movement, adopt? For starters, they should stop thinking of themselves as conservatives (much less as Republicans) and start thinking of themselves as radicals, restorationists, and counterrevolutionaries. Indeed, that is what they are, whether they embrace those labels or not.”
Okay, let’s revive or restore those conservative principles. Right, Mitch McConnell a radical. Maybe like Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert?
“Whatever the term or image, the imperative that conservatives must break from the past and forge a new political identity cannot be overstated.”
By looking to the Pilgrims and Thomas Jefferson? (That periodic revolution to preserve liberty and civil society has always been and always will be necessary.TJ).
Jefferson nailed it. What the Conservatives have done is banish bloody bayonets from the boulevards and the brain and use ‘fight’ as a figure of speech only. No spine in the slime.
“The Dobbs decision was in a sense the end of the beginning of the pro-life cause. Now comes the real fight, in state houses across the country, to outlaw completely the barbaric practice of killing the unborn.”
Exactly the way to lose millions of votes. If Republicans should go radical, this is one way they could do it, break with the past and asinine statements like these. This numbskull should have been aborted! Wants his cake and to eat it too! What a muddle minded muttonhead!
Please don’t give me any horseshit about the ‘sanctity of life’. I’d rather discuss that topic with you in person.
‘The fact of birth is an absolute — that is, up to that moment, the child is not an independent, living organism. It’s part of the body of the mother. But at birth, a child is an individual, and has the rights inherent in the nature of a human individual.’
‘Never mind the vicious nonsense of claiming that an embryo has a “right to life.” A piece of protoplasm has no rights — and no life in the human sense of the term. One may argue about the later stages of a pregnancy, but the essential issue concerns only the first three months. To equate a potential with an actual, is vicious; to advocate the sacrifice of the latter to the former, is unspeakable.’
Ayn Rand, who had high disdain for the non-objectivist mysticism of religion.
I find the argument of “right to life” among humans who are mostly intent upon killing each other after they’ve reached some arbitrary age over similarly arbitrary ideological or political positions to be specious in the extreme. So I dismissed most of this post without consideration. It’s neither here nor there in totality.
On a somewhat similar note, while waiting on the trash pickup this morning, I noticed a gopher digging fresh holes in my front lawn, so immediately put a garden hose down the freshest, and as luck would have it, flushed that little bugger clean out of his hole and up into daylight, whereupon I promptly bashed his little brains in with a shovel and then disposed of the carcass across the street in the canyon.
Stripped of all the pseudo-intellectual ideological nonsense, might I suggest that THAT is what the “right to life” is actually all about?
Gopher-gun.
Is either the sun or moon ever really eclipsed in ‘totality’? Was there ‘totality’ in Proust’s cup of tea?
Totality abandons memory as memory abandons totality, both vaporous vectors veering constantly towards fragmentary venues.
What’s your’s is your’s and what’s mine is your’s.
“The fact of birth is an absolute — that is, up to that moment, the child is not an independent, living organism.”
All other argumentation aside, there is nothing at all independent about a 3-month-old baby. It can’t even sit up, let alone feed itself.
That statement in quotes is not a fact either. The child is an independent living organism. It is being fed and protected by the mother.
Just as it is after birth, as you point out.
All these people do is play with words, and when they get enough power, change dictionaries.
Big doings in tiny Granite Falls, MN today as twin towers of the decommissioned coal fired power plant there are blown up. Several sympathy pix of old men who once worked there (living off decent pensions, I’m sure) w/ tears in their eyes. Looked like a pretty clean demo on the TV. Two more coalies on the chopping block in MN, then it’s nat gas, wind and solar forever. At least that’s what they tell us.
And 2 nuclear power plants ?
I know one for sure. More ought be built
Might be time to make that move to Gators Acres FL permanent then, eh, Lil T, with or without the carport amenity? But no worries, coal is still going to fill the gap for those way up north in the interim, or at least that’s what “the Joe Biden” tells us.
Biden/Fetterman 2024
Their campaign slogan could be, “Hi everybody goodnight. You know the thing!”

Even if I don’t believe that Elon Musk is anything but another nefarious billionaire, this is funny AF:
https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1585796994492399616?s=20
I think some are too quick to judge him. He has quite a few questionable ties to DARPA, the intel. community, and the dark side of the US government, but at the same time, many of his actions, while supportive of a tech.-driven future, are not in the interest of the WEF/China-style control grid.
Until we have more evidence, it is worth remaining open-minded.
PA…got me! Should have remembered Monticello. Still tickin’ quietly along, I guess. But you think a state this blue will ever build another nuke plant? Dream on, brother.
Elon Musk could stand to lose a few pounds.
Well, he has a lot on his plate tom. He’s fired every exec involved in banning President Trump and suppressing the laptop info. It will be interesting to see how this goes. Cheers!
Yes, amazing!
When will NYT start calling Musk an “oligarch”
You know that the worm has turned, at that point.
I’m guessing it’s around the corner.
“PA…got me! Should have remembered Monticello. Still tickin’ quietly along, I guess. But you think a state this blue will ever build another nuke plant? Dream on, brother.”
Sadly, you are right there Tom
Well. We will see. I have a suspicion that as we have the collective Big Energy Step-down, that nuclear is come to be seen (rightly) as the best solution.
Jim, seems that a slight majority are all-in on optimism based on the anticipated outcome of the near term elections. You continually document the Black Swans that the Biden administration adds to their flock. Is your optimism just a teaser, or have you lost your mind?
Don’t you think that an Antifa sponsored 2020 Summer of Love II will render any accountability inquisition, just like the January 6th inquisition, as just another bunch of trivial “noise”. The current administration has set things up for failure, and in this case, based on a ramping-up of lawlessness, I could foresee a few major metro areas becoming no-go war zones, and in short order the format will go viral.
This evening Tucker has a segment where he claims that this country will run out of diesel in about a month and no one in the Biden administration seems to give a hoot. If this plays-out, any politician engaged in an accountability inquisition might as well be pissing in the wind.
Then there is the news that China’s digital yuan has gained the title of being the most adopted CBDC in the world. Who will provide a safety net for the US$?
Barack must be mighty pleased with all the tasks his boy “the big guy” has accomplished.
He doesn’t call them The Party of Chaos for nuthin. And he has often warned of how they are dangerous and at war with the American public. Nothing can be put past them. They’ve been draining the SPR dry too. It is all intentional. But their cover is blown and their position more tenuous by the moment so at this point anything is possible.
It’s all a catch-22 between a rock and a hard place. Ramp up our energy production to meet our ever-growing needs and we extend our comfortable (lavish?) lifestyle awhile longer, while bringing the death and destruction of the Die-Centennial that much closer.
Rand Paul, Steve Bannon and Marjorie Taylor Greene among others are talking impeachment of Garland and Wray. Okay, go through the motions and good luck with that. As for ‘noise’, the Deep State will decimate the decibel level of the opposition.
Obama has the pathetic white puppet out there, weak and wobbling, for all the world to see, with black power waiting in the wings, his near ultimate triumph over Trump and white America.
This unmanly mountebank of a marionette could be considered Obama’s magnum opus, performing in his craftily constructed castelet for all the world to jeer as Balack jerks the strings.
