Is it so, as some wags say, that industry no longer makes money; only finance does? That’s been the operating theory for much of the West lately. Of course, that invites the question: what then is finance supposed to finance… that is, put money into? Why… industry, of course, and in the broadest sense of the word: the production of goods… goods being things that have value (that’s what’s good about them). How quaint! But most of the industry that used to be here has gone to other lands.

What about all that money (capital) flowing into technology: Facebook, Google, Amazon? Hmmmm. What does Facebook produce, besides conflict between its users? Okay, it harvests data about them to sell to advertisers. And what are the advertisers advertising? Their products. Who produces the products? Mostly those people in other lands. Facebook users, then, are increasingly not employed, at least not in the production of goods. Perhaps in services like nursing, trucking, garbage pickup, food prep, police, firemen, prison guards, government bureaucracy (is that a service or a dis-service?) and et cetera.

Anyway, those service people are being fired left-and-right now because they refuse to be coerced into taking a vaccine that was never properly tested and has many scary side-effects. By the way, as of Sunday, the “newspaper-of-record” (The New York Times) finally had to come clean, after months of whistling past the graveyard, and admit what the public already knows: mRNA vaccines are dangerous:

While we’re on the subject, what does Google produce? Supposedly, answers to questions, plus, like Facebook, it harvests information about the people who ask the questions and then sells the info, blah blah. And whutabout Amazon? Don’t they sell a lot of products? Yeah, mostly produced by those people in other lands. What Amazon really produces is a phenomenal amount of motion — trucks going hither and thither, at increasing cost now as the price of gasoline and diesel fuel shoots up. To me, that looks like a problem for Amazon’s business model. Another problem is the growing number of people without gainful employment who have little money to buy stuff from Amazon, wherever it comes from.

That last problem has been papered-over for two years by “helicopter money” from the federal government — direct payment to the people for doing nothing, producing neither goods nor services. This has been an impressive trick. The money comes from nowhere and for nothing. The trick is based on simple accounting fraud. The second law of thermodynamics, a.k.a. entropy, suggests that eventually this process will degrade the value of the money (or “money”) issued by the fraudsters.

The hand in play for the moment is the spending legislation proposed by “Joe Biden.” It would generate a whole helluva lot more helicopter money from nowhere for nothing, and would theoretically keep the game going a little bit longer — except the process will only generate more unwanted entropy, causing decay in the value of that “money” and canceling the desired effect of spreading it around. That’s called inflation. If the value of money drops hard and fast, that is called hyperinflation. It would be politically and socially devastating, and probably lead to the downfall of the government. The net effect would be a nation bankrupt at all levels and that will segue into an epic economic depression.

If the legislation doesn’t get passed, the USA will perhaps skip the hyperinflationary intermezzo and move straight into a deflationary depression, which is what you get when nobody has any money. When that happens, especially in a system with money actually based on debt-creation, debts do not get paid (mortgages, car payments, credit cards, perhaps even coupons on US Treasury bonds), and when debts are not paid, money disappears. Poof! No money! It’s a vicious cycle. The more money disappears the more money keeps disappearing. None of this bodes well for the winter ahead.

Add to that the growing breakdown in global trade operations. Even many of those goods produced in other lands aren’t making it to the docks, and the reduced flow of goods that happened to already land on the docks can’t get unloaded and delivered to its various destinations because of disruptions in the US trucking sector. To some degree, those disruptions are caused by bonehead government regulations, especially in California, where most of the stuff from Asia lands. The bonehead regulations (like, outlawing trucks more than three years old) can be thought of as typical government “dis-services.”

Now add to that the rising cost of oil, natural gas, and coal — the global economy’s primary resources — and disruptions in the industries that produce these vital resources and you’ve got another layer of disorder being introduced into the system (entropy again). For the moment, government propaganda tries to divert your attention to a possible shortage of Christmas presents as the nation’s main concern. Don’t be fooled. It’s more about total systemic economic breakdown, as in US citizens having no heat and no food. Also, no gasoline and no parts for fixing broken cars (and trucks).

Do you suppose the capital markets will keep rising as all this spins out? I would suppose that the capital markets will lose 80 to 90 percent of their value when all is said and done. The fabled “One Percent” will finally feel the pain that was previously distributed among the rest of us. Don’t make the mistake of thinking the One Percent can control the situation. They are mere Wizards of Oz, barfing into their laptops. If working-from-home wasn’t a thing, they’d be jumping out of windows on Wall Street.

It’s a grim outlook, I admit, but you could see it coming over the horizon from a thousand miles away. Where I differ from other observers is that I doubt that any sort of extreme government surveillance state can be imposed on the public under these conditions. The people will be too pissed-off and, anyway, the current regime will be broke and out of mojo — possibly to the degree that it has to be shoved aside. “Let’s Go Brandon” is serious business. It’s the end of something.

In the background lurks this virus thing, and the insane vaccination program it prompted. We know that people have been harmed by the vaccinations, but not how many people altogether will be affected moving forward. The possibility, though, is for a nation both broke and sick struggling to get through a dark passage of history. Stay nimble, stay local, stay reality-based, be helpful, be honest, be brave, and be kind to each other. We’ll get through it.

    The *Biden regime wants to crash our entire financial system.

    • malthuss November 1, 2021 at 9:52 am #

      why the *?

      • Beryl of Oyl November 1, 2021 at 9:58 am #

        It isn’t Joe Biden making the decisions.

        When he is allowed to do his own thing, he makes Mussolini jokes in Rome.

        • Walter B November 1, 2021 at 10:32 am #

          Clearly Jerky Joe is lucky if he can continue to control his basic bodily function, and the skuttlebutt out of the Vatican that he cannot even do that. Far too many American consumers have been programmed to believe only what they see on a magic screen, and only then when it comes from a source that they choose to be believable, based on their emotions of course.

          I think that everybody knows that the real rulers are hidden behind the curtain, and those of who were witness to the job they did on Jack Kennedy understand who they actually are. Names are not important because they change, the intent, however is always the same more for them, less for you, soon to become all for them and none for you.

          Those of us who grew up in the NY/NJ areas in the 50’s and 60’s remember how organized crime groups and families once battled the government and each other in the streets of our cities for profit and control. Those of us who paid attention observed the slow morphing from illegal to legal as profits earned by the illegal drug trade and the marriage of the government and the mob was consummated in 1963 after a courtship in Cuba began the romance.

          Some day if I get the time I would like to find the place where Allen Dulles is entombed so that I pay him a visit and water the flowers on his grave with a few recycled Narragansett’s, damn his eyes!

          • Troy Skaggs November 1, 2021 at 11:25 am #

            Walter,
            What remains of Dulles corporeal reality can be visited at Green Mount Cemetary, Baltimore, Maryland. Unfortunately, his spiritual presence is breathing quite successfully within the body politic. I pray for the day when this sickness meets it’s just conclusion.

          • oswegatchie November 1, 2021 at 2:24 pm #

            They still make that brew? I remember it coming in a black crate with a case in it back in the late 70’s in upstate NY. The crate was refundable. $4.99.

          • oswegatchie November 1, 2021 at 2:28 pm #

            That 4.99 was for the beer. I think the crate was actually more valuable.

          • BackRowHeckler November 1, 2021 at 3:55 pm #

            “Hi Neighbor, Have a ‘Gansett”

            Official beer of the Boston Red Sox back in the Jimmy Foxx/Ted William’s days.

          • Walter B November 1, 2021 at 5:40 pm #

            Yes it is produced at one of the nation’s oldest breweries, it is the beer of Captain Quint, and it sells for $5.99 for a 16 ounce six-pack. Since I am not awarded any special accolades or prizes for spending more on future bladder discharges, it’s my brew too! “Howdy Neighbor!”

        • Islander November 1, 2021 at 10:34 am #

          Great Corona Ausschuss session 76 has Chris Martenson (last segment) with a similar message.

          Of course Jim has been sendng this message for a long time. Martenson puts his own spin on it.

            “Also what I think. I would love to see who actually runs/owns Vanguard too. They run the whole show.”

            Mary, don’t forget BlackRock, whose hirelings infest Wall Street, the White House, Capitol Hill, and foreign governments. They are said to control well over half the world’s financial assets. Where they got those assets, and who owns BlackRock, is probably related to Vanguard and other financial houses.

            Those who come through the collapse best will be those who own physical assets in their own possession.

            To maintain that possession some of the physical assets will be measured in grains.

      If he did, it would be the one thing he could possibly do for the country that would be of any value as the casino has to come down sooner or later, how can anyone even consider this financial system as anything but a rip off of the working class to benefit the few.

      • shotho November 1, 2021 at 10:09 am #

        But, as said above the one percent won’t escape the collapse and they do not control as much or as tightly as we seem to think they do. Mr. K has written a profound comment here. I might question timelines and a vanishing dollar might be one of the few financial things left with any value (due to its scarcity), but otherwise we should pay careful attention to everything said here; especially the idea that there is no ultimate reason to despair.

        • Hereward the Woke November 1, 2021 at 10:23 am #

          Shotho: Agree. The One Percent think their nuclear proof boltholes in NZ are going to save them. They won’t. Jim’s final advice is the best way to go. Stay local, stay human, stay sane.

            They’ll be lucky to make it to their private jets.

            They’ll be lucky to have avgas available for their private jets.

            They’ll be lucky their jets were properly maintained after the competent mechanics are retired, fired, or dead from forced jabs.

          • hmuller November 1, 2021 at 11:54 am #

            Rumor has that the Elite can access a very big hidey-hole from the Denver airport. So if they can make it there in their private jets, they are home free.

            I suspect keeping those jets in good repair and fueled up would be a high priority right about now.

          • chimayred November 1, 2021 at 12:32 pm #

            Are you from NZ? I’m not. But I spent 6 mo there. NZ is a woke nation; the last people with balls there have recently been forced to give up their AR15’s and the only ones with balls are the All Blacks and they’re being woke.

            NZ doesn’t allow anyone to use it as a bolthole. It’s ridiculously difficult to get residency or citizenship for most people. I’m sure you can buy a place there and camp out, but if I remember correctly you can’t stay there indefinitely. Believe me, I’ve tried. Now I’m sure a couple billionaires making timely bribes may slip through, but at least one has tried that and been rousted.

            Their boltholes are in the Berkshires, Bozeman, Martha’s Vineyard, etc. Plus they think they’re above it all.

          • Trean November 1, 2021 at 1:41 pm #

            You can purchase residency in NZ with a $10 million NZD investment in the NZ government approved scheme. It’s exactly what many billionaires have done. They need to spend, if my memory serves me correctly, 88 days there in the first 2 years as well.
            Anyone who doesn’t think that such people have capable security staff who’s function it is to ensure secure fuel and food supplies for both aircraft and yachts is living in a cave.

          • thirdcoastlegend November 1, 2021 at 1:43 pm #

            Chimay-

            Pretty sure NZ will let you buy your way into residency and citizenship.

            As ’80s WWF stalwart The Million Dollar Man always said,

            “Everybody’s got a PRICE!”

          • oswegatchie November 1, 2021 at 2:33 pm #

            Is it possible some of the not-yet-retired competent mechanics may suddenly become selectively incompetent, at least temporarily?

          • tresho November 1, 2021 at 6:17 pm #

            “Anyone who doesn’t think that such people have capable security staff who’s function it is…,” Roman emperors in their day had a small army of capable security staff. Now and then the staff demonstrated their capability by killing their master and appointing another. If you’re going to “think” then think it all the way through using what you know (particularly, know about human nature).

          • tresho November 1, 2021 at 6:19 pm #

            Plus they think they’re above it all. I got a big kick out of NPR earnestly telling its true believers the details about “Let’s Go Brandon”. Some are so far above it all they have little idea of what is happening around them.

        • SpeedyBB November 1, 2021 at 4:38 pm #

          Shotho – over the years I have mostly been a lurker here; learned a whole lot from all you fart smellers in the process. Oops I mean smart fellers.

          One question that continually intrigues (bothers) me: apart from its established role as a medium for the hydrocarbons business, aka the so-called “petrodollar”, is the only thing maintaining its global role as a reserve currency the painfully obvious lack of any alternative?

          Feeble attempts have been made to structure one, and while the notion of a solid gold-backed Yuan looks good on the surface, when you consider the trustworthiness and predictability of just WHO is behind said Yuan a certain spirit of CAVEAT EMPTOR comes into play. What is to stop Beijing from declaring unilaterally someday “Sure, you can have bullion for those Yuan, but the way things are at the moment you only get 20% of its face value. Take it or leave it, Buster.”

          Does the obvious absence of any alternative not inspire the naked arrogance and recklessness of the Washington mafia, in its endless and thoughtless creation of value from vapor?

          Digital currencies are (as has been amply exposed in these learned columns) basically a joke and an invitation to all manner of swindle and fraud. Or paralysis and breakdown. I try to puzzle this matter out, as an interested observer, watching those who detest Uncle Sam and his lethal expeditions around the globe continue to buy and sell in greenbacks.

          Am I missing something here? We all seem to be in agreement that it will come to tears sooner than later, but as long as humans do business, some sort of medium will be necessary. I can’t see the Swiss saying “We’ll swap you four million cuckoo clocks and ten tons of our finest cheese for that tanker of crude”.

          • Paula D November 1, 2021 at 5:04 pm #

            I think you’re right. They are smug in their arrogance of having the world’s reserve currency “What else you gonna do, sucker?”
            The US also control the BIS, which we can see when they slap sanctions on some uppity country and its citizens. The whole world plays along, even if it is to their detriment, like Germany is doing with North Stream.
            China is powerful enough now to move past that, for instance, buying oil from Iran even though the USA has sternly forbidden it.
            The US also controls the Mighty Wurlitzer of propaganda (h/t Frank Wisner) that allows them to cover the world with whatever “news” they want spread.
            Hence, the worldwide coverage of the evilness of China.
            We saw that when Saddam Hussein tried to sell oil in Euros and when Ghaddafi tried to sell oil in dinars.

          • tresho November 1, 2021 at 6:21 pm #

            “Am I missing something here?” Much of the gold thought to exist is imaginary and can’t actually be used for anything besides tall tales.

      At the end of the day, this fiasco finishes when and only when. the lenders figure out that they will not be repaid. Now, one would think such confidence would easily wane but if you look at Japan, which has been at this game since 1989, has a debt problem that dwarfs ours and an aging population, we could be in this mess for much longer than any of the pundits think.

    America and Americans appear to have place absolutely ALL of their concept of value in the worthless green paper of fiat currency at the cost of losing all of their concept of value in the things that are absolutely essential to human life such as air, waters, and food. As the fabricated supply line interruptions grow more intense, the one good thing that is going to come out of that ploy is that Americans will be forced to realize the value of food. It is a good thing that so many water buffalos out there are stocked up on the lard that will sustain them once the panties go bare, so maybe there will be a silver lining to this story as in Thinner.

    Of course, they have already limited our access to the most important item that supports human life as in AIR, with soggy facebags limiting the amount of oxygen available to the lungs while increasing the amount of CO2 being breathed but Facebaggers aren’t really smart enough to figured that out. Our EMT’s are very busy these days peeling those that pass out behind the wheel off of the guard rails, and shuttling those in “respiratory distress” down to the local ER where they can pick up a case of Crowbait Fever if they don’t watch out.

    Oh well there is a good side to the depopulation agenda you know. Inthe end there will be a lot less dimwitted assholes out here and it might very well wind up as a better, more productive place.

    MSNBC wonders that all important topic, what is a people of color?

    Heckler and Beans, this is in Boston, the gal who is euro-arab.

    running for office.

    >The question of whether Arab Americans should identify as people of color extends to the Arab American community itself.

    Nuha E. Muntasser, who describes herself as an Muslim Arab American or Muslim Libyan American, said she cringes whenever she has to check the box for “white” instead of being given the option of identifying as North African or Middle Eastern.

    “I do not identify as white and it’s frustrating when I have to identify as that,” she said.

    The choice is all the more discouraging because many Arab Americans don’t share the same experience as white Americans, she said. That sense of otherness can be even more pronounced among Arab or Muslim American women who wear the hijab, she said.

    “People like me, we have to prove our Americanness,” said the 26-year-old, who lives in Sudbury, 45 miles west of Boston, and serves on the town’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee.

        The races differ profoundly. Move the populations of Haiti and Iceland to each others lands. Within a generation, the intelligent and hard working Nordic/Celts (the Vikings took Irish slaves to wife) would turn Haiti into a paradise. On the other hand, within five years the Haitian Blacks would be extinct.

When they enrolled their kids in school in California, they checked the African American box and the school went nuts. They were told they couldn’t do that! That is for blacks only. WTF?.

      Any one can check any box on those race/ethnicity questions he or she wants to. The only penalty might be is if you gain some financial advantage by doing so and even then… I looked at longitudinal data on a population of U. S. students and many of those from the mid-east or Brazil changed their check box as it suited their taste or applications for financial aide, I don’t really know their motivations for switching their race/ethnicity from form to form. Many of us have met students who applied for financial aide under multiple check boxes- hispanic for one grant, asian-american pacific islander for another, black for another. Recently their has been a box for “Multi” on some forms. Even when someone catches you obviously lying by using DNA for example or comparing multiple forms what is the penalty? At first I liked Elizabeth Warren with her concern for the average citizen and the Pocahontas stuff didn’t bother me at all- it was funny. Affirmative Action might disappear if all whites checked black or hispanic or asian.

    Greetings,

    How much longer can the Amazon business model work if we are unable to maintain our delivery fleet? After all, people are waiting months for replacement parts for their cars and vehicles are in such demand that 3-year-old used vehicles are selling for more than when they were new. BTW, this is also true of farm machinery as used tractors are bringing in tens of thousands of dollars more used as they were new.

    As the system continues to break down, the final outrage will be when everyone between the ages of 18 and 40 is flogged into the fields and mines to work by hand to keep us from starving and freezing. It will have to be that way as the machine stops.

        The ai race isn’t going to be won here in the USA – no chance in hell. True ai is still a decade or more away and I do not believe we have the will to make the singularity happen. I’ll believe that when we go back to the Moon.

        Buy rechargeable batteries in various sizes and a universal battery recharger, preferably one you can plug into a solar panel as well as the wall. (Who knows if the electricity will continue uninterrupted.)

        You won’t have enough power to cook food or heat the house. But you can power small electronic devices to play DVD’s, music, games, etc.

          I agree, in fact when the Covid drama kicked off I foresaw a lot of this and upped our solar capacity and added a battery bank. We also stored plenty of rechargeable batteries, chargers, food(both long term and medium term), certain vehicle spares and installed two nee 500 gal fuel storage tanks ( we use diesel). We also trebled our heating oil capacity as it was literally dirt cheap when the oil prices fell.

        Farmers prefer the newer ones with the air conditioned cabs to the old ones in which they have their faces and airways choked with dust and chaff.
        But it has gotten ridiculous. I had a farmer tell me that those big ol’ harvesters cost a million dollars. The farmers can’t afford them OR fix them, so they lease them.
        And a lot of them also lease the land, which they sold off to pay debts a long time ago and now belongs to hedge or sovereign wealth funds.
        I grew organic soybeans one year and I was out in the garden trying to harvest them, scratching up my fingers, right as the farmer next door was harvesting 10 acres of GMO soybeans.

          no he’s not; he’s playing both sides; he’s telling us how he was able to get a vaccine out, which is quite an accomplishment, but knows it is controversial enough that he’s saying it shouldn’t be mandatory. Same thing I’d say if I was president. In fact, I’m saying the same thing. If Trump isn’t the guy to take us forward (and he’s not because the executive doesn’t take us forward or backward.

            So many people fail to realize how much opposition he faced from even his own party.

            I really believe there was a deliberate attempt to get him to trash his whole record over the damn covid.

          He is still saying the jabs are wonderful but doesn’t think they should be mandated.

          He has gotten half-way in his thinking. Now he needs to sit down with some serious scientists, researchers and doctors and learn about how the jabs “work”, the damages and deaths they are causing and their potential future consequences.

            That’s not easy to walk back.

            But what is really difficult is that the proportion of the public that is concerned and unvaxxed is too small, and shrinking daily.

            Telling the vaxxed that they made a bad choice and took a big risk, albeit unintentionally, just can’t be said right now if you want votes.

            Perhaps in the future, if our worse fears are realized and confirmed by so much anecdotal and official data, that it’s undeniable.

            That’s one reason that the government is going all out to force as many people as possible to get vaccinated now, before so much bad news gets out they can no longer control it

    I’m reading a tome entitled ‘Medicine in the Dark Ages.’ Mainly out of pure interest but also possibly as a guide for practicing medicine without any so called ‘high tech.’ As i read it, it a rather shocking to read the background story which is one of loss of central authority control, loss of consensus ‘money,’ and loss of faith in Greek and Roman medicine (and culture), all in the context of vast numbers with illnesses, bacterial, viral and otherwise (tho they didn’t know what those things were).

    We seem to circling the drain toward Dark Age 2. And no one in charge has a clue, or even gives a shit.

        66 year old doc with 37 years of practice. Here’s how. Medical schools jumped on board with diversity in the 70’s. Having a diverse student body was more important than packing your class with competent overrepresented Jews and Asians. At the same time, with more women coming in (my class was half women), while they are certainly competent, many of them didn’t want to pursue the standard high energy type A private practice model. They decided after a while they wanted kids. So they enabled creation of a part time employed market, which enabled the profit motive to dominate. Throughput, turnaround, profit, shareholders, etc. Similarly, at the same time, organized medicine (not the docs; the AMA and state medical societies) in conjunction with the financial pressures from payers (medicare, Aetna, Kaiser) created a system which expected and got compliance. Both (well, all 57) genders of medical students were raised and trained in this compliant fascist (private ownership but central control) system. Hence, they don’t realize it, but their clinical decisions are decided by panels at insurance companies, their behavior AND medical decisions are governed by an alphabet soup of NGO’s; HIPAA, CMMS, FDA, EMTALA, MQSA, utilization review, case management, corporate compliance, JCAHO, etc. So, many older docs, like myself, are horrified at this, but the new compliant PC woke physician is just following orders. CDC, CNN, state medical society and FDA say it’s safe? It’s safe. No critical thinking involved.

        BTW, the comments about women ruining medicine? Didn’t come from me. They came from a female colleague and dear friend of mine who left medicine after 10 years to become a chef.

        • JohnAZ November 1, 2021 at 1:44 pm #

        • MaryQueen November 1, 2021 at 3:42 pm #

          Yeah, women did it, not the model that was created for them. Why was that model created? Because women have oh so much power and say? Since when? We can’t even keep the trannies out of our bathrooms.

          Maybe we are not thinking of the same thing when you mention “the standard high energy type A private practice model.”

          The general practitioners I recall from my 1950s childhood had quite the laid-back job. They might occasionally have a full waiting room, but their days were a leisurely parade of cuts, eczema, tummy aches, ear infections, pink eye, asthma, coughs, splinter extractions, warts, bee stings, hemorrhoids, and similar minor ailments. These all had “cookbook” treatments: a couple of stitches, antibiotics, and a bandage. Perhaps a tetanus shot. Most of these illnesses or mishaps could be treated with equal or better success with “granny remedies”–if granny knew what she was doing.

          If I remember right, GPs in the old days even kept rather short hours.

          • tresho November 1, 2021 at 6:38 pm #

            in the old days collapsing from ventricular fibrillation was the same as dropping dead. Acute myocardial infarction and stroke treatment were both treated about the same as a bad case of the flu. If you were sleeping in your bed & a bat bit you, hardly anyone knew you might come with rabies. Things were so much different then.

          • anmariwakaranai November 1, 2021 at 9:29 pm #

        • Anthea November 1, 2021 at 5:22 pm #

          Most of the problems with modern medical practice can be traced to the “cookbook” medicine imposed (probably) mainly by insurance companies and the AMA and the boards of healing arts: “Our way or the highway.” Except it’s call “flowchart” medicine. More and more, even veterinarians practice “medicine” the same way.

          I think you’d be a little hard-pressed to say that women had anything to do with this. It’s just more corporatism and centralized control. And if you practice medicine any other way, the Board of Healing Arts will find a way to revoke your license.

          We use to have a very fine natural practitioner, who was also a medical doctor, in my area. He treated almost all ailments with various herbal and natural medications and treatments. He had a HUGE practice. I used to take my kids to him. One daughter was cured of psoriasis almost overnight by an herbal combination. Pink eye was treated with castor oil–or a castor-oil pack, if it was far advanced. The guy was a miracle-worker, so the Board of Healing Arts took away his license. (As a side note, women didn’t do that either.)

          The bottom line here is that medicine has gone to shit because doctors are not ALLOWED to practice medicine. Instead, they are forced by “the system” to pursue a series of worthless and often deleterious treatments that usually accomplish nothing, which is the objective.

          I would disagree that women wanting children forced the entire medical-industrial complex to accommodate them.
          I think it was money. If you look at higher education you will see the same thing. The ratio of administration to actual productive staff is similarly skewed and it skyrocketed from the 90s on until today.
          Also, Kaiser was organized differently than other medical practices. Kaiser doctors were treated like heretics by the AMA, back in the day, for participating in a HMO instead of individual for-profit medicine.
          Once Medicare and Medicaid were instituted, unscrupulous doctors and hospitals realized that they were cash cows that could be milked, much like the military-industrial complex, in which unscrupulous merchants of death milk the government for cost-plus WMDs.
          The government and the insurance companies fought back in the case of the medical-industrial complex, and the war of money was on, leading to massive bureaucracies on both sides.
          Eventually doctors could no longer afford the time and money needed for small-scale skirmishing and decided doctors-for-hire was the easier way to go.
          This made management even more powerful, and their decrees had to be followed by all employees.
          The protocols can now be dictated to the entire country’s medical systems, and everyone must comply, or lose that sweet, sweet Medicare money.
          And now the drug companies are using the government as their pushers. No street drug pusher ever had such a sweet deal as having the entire apparatus of the US state forcing people to take unwanted drugs.

      Hygiene was far better in the High Middle Ages than a lot of people think, at least in towns and cities where there were communal baths, and families would go there once a week or so. I have seen old prints etc. that showed this. My source is Norbert Elias, “The History of Manners.” But I can’t cite a page number because my books are in storage.

      Here is a revisionist account of washing in the Medieval period:
      https://going-medieval.com/2019/08/02/i-assure-you-medieval-people-bathed/

      Most Westerners and esp. Americans think one needs a shower or a bathtub to stay clean and they just expect to have this amenity, and endless running hot water. I can tell you that when I was living in Munich in the 1970s in a rented room that was part of a large apartment converted to separate rooms, each room had a sink, and German students washed every day. There was one “real” bathroom, with a pay-for-hot-water meter, for a weekly bath.

      Same in London, in hundreds of thousands of bed-sits, except no full bathroom. Also, many apartments had only a kitchen sink. One went to one of the baths that were located throughout London, where one paid the bath lady for a changing room with a wooden bench and clean towels supplied.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baths_and_wash_houses_in_Britain#London_baths

      Hygiene took a hit in the latter Medieval period, and the Protestant reformation, as folk became more prudish and the baths, more a site for licentiousness.
      The use of “Dark Ages” is kind of misleading in a number of ways.

      • thirdcoastlegend November 1, 2021 at 11:22 am #

        On the flip side, Westerners enormously overrate Muslim hygiene.

        In the restroom, they don’t use soap, they don’t use warm water, and they wipe with their left hand.

        Bathing and laundering among them are infrequent at best.

        • malthuss November 1, 2021 at 11:52 pm #

      • hmuller November 1, 2021 at 12:47 pm #

        I have long suspected that Jewish ritual laws requiring frequent trips to the “Mikveh” was all just a trick to get people to wash. Too bad no soap was mentioned. Maybe we’ll find those lost verses in a cave one day.

      • SvrzoH November 1, 2021 at 1:00 pm #

        I’d stayed at “Golden West” hotel, built in 1906 in San Diego downtown, in early 90-es and before the grand renovation. Small room with sink only and the bathrooms with showers “way down the hallway”. Got my drift?

        • hmuller November 1, 2021 at 5:28 pm #

          Are you saying you peed in the sink?

          • SvrzoH November 1, 2021 at 6:09 pm #

            It was one night stay and I felt more comfortable with the common sinks “down the hallway”.
            However, I am certain that it has been done multiple times in past almost 90 years of it’s existence.

        • Islander November 4, 2021 at 10:21 pm #

          “Got my drift?”

          No, actually,
          You sound like a nervous Nelly. Of course I was never in the Golden West.

          But generations of travelers have stayed in “pensions/penzione/Pensionen” etc in Europe and in genuine B&Bs in Britain (not Airbnb type thing) and made do with a sink in the room, toilet down the hall, ditto, shower/bath room (separate). People bring a robe to throw on and their bath kit to take with them. Often it is a small family business. This may all have changed in the meantime; I haven’t been traveling in Europe for a while. But it used to be SOP. The expectation of a private bathroom and the horror at the prospect of not having one and of using the same toilet or bathing room as others is kind of an American thing.

            “It is certainly much healthier than the diet of processed foods many of us eat today.

            ‘The meat stews (beef and mutton) with leafy vegetables (cabbage, leek) would have provided protein and fibre and important vitamins and the dairy products (butter and ‘green’ cheeses) would also have provided protein and other important nutrients.

        In the US in the 1970s, there were still many “residential hotels,” where the shared bathroom was down the hall. I lived in a couple of them for short periods in my youth.

        You can also bathe quite effectively by washing and rinsing in a couple of gallons of warm water, using the old “pitcher and bowl” method. I’ve done this quite a few times, when the pipes were frozen. It can be viewed as almost luxurious. I’ve also bathed outdoors (at night and concealed by a lot of shrubbery) using a 50-gallon garden pool for a bathtub. This was when our town was in the process of putting in city water, and I was in the process of re-plumbing the whole house. Bathing under the stars is also quite luxurious, in its own way: scented soaps, fluffy towels, night sounds, moonlight and winking stars.

          Mom almost never took a shower or a bath, but she was very clean and smelled nice too! She said she washed every day by way of a “sponge bath.” I had always had a daily shower until I hit my 60’s. Now, like Mom, I use the sponge bath method. No lie — it’s way better!

      It is amazing to me that throughout human history, we have found substances that plants and animals manufacture to protect themselves helps humans cure disease. Lots of effort today trying to find newer antibiotics as the bacteria are catching up to us,

      ?? How come the same effort has not been put into virus control??

      • Anthea November 1, 2021 at 5:49 pm #

        There are quite a few herbal antivirals–as well as herbal antibiotics. I know from experience that you can cure chickenpox with echinacea, and I know of one woman who cured her shingles with it. Echinacea is also excellent for UTIs and toothaches/infections. IMHO it should be prescribed as a prophylactic against infection before and after dental work is done. You probably shouldn’t skip the dental work, but it is so effective that one can be tempted to. (“My teeth don’t hurt anymore, and the infection is gone.”) Most people using echinacea try to skimp on the dose. I know a lot of people who use echinacea for a lot of things, but they always try to skimp on the dose, so I am always having to tell them that, for any very advanced dental infection, you need to take about six capsules four times a day. They never listen.

        My point is that many highly effective herbal/natural remedies are ignored by modern medicine. Why is the kid with chickenpox untreated, when there is a cure? (Also probably true of shingles, which is the same virus.)

      In other words, retreat to the nineteenth century.

      It will be extremely painful, but the first step to resurrecting US productivity is to fire every single corporation that manufactures outside of the US, every one. Let the outcry of consumer demand bring back local manufacturing. With the Deep State in power, nationally, that would be very difficult as all their nests are feathered by globalist masters including the corporations. Destruction of the Deep State is needed before things will swing back to the US. The American public is showing, with its voting record, how far down the gimme path it really is. It does not want to have to work, it just wants to go to the store or internet to get things. Juvenile, isn’t it!!!

      No. 2 is closing the border! The entry of so many gimmes just worsens the situation.

      No. 3 is stopping the student loan program. Put half the universities out of business. Let merit count. Stop the babysitting. Remember JHKs statement in TLE that society only requires an eighth grade education, everything beyond is baby sitting. The lack of intelligence the last two generations are showing is proof positive of JHKs prediction. The higher in education we go, the dumber we get.

    Jerex19 played his favorite online video game. He had to work tomorrow, sure, but who cared if he was a little tired? His job at a grocery store was bull**** anyway. He turned the volume down at 10 like he and his two roommates agreed to.

    One day he would take a big trip, but he wasn’t sure exactly where he wanted to go and didn’t have money saved up anyway. Maybe he’d get another job this summer, but for now this one was ok.

    I’m cautiously optimistic that the truth is breaking out and setting us free. As noted, “Let’s Go Brandon” may be one of several watershed moments. Meanwhile, the MSM has been forced to trickle-out and indirectly cop to previously verboten facts: Note how they slow-played the reversal on the Wuhan lab leak position, then slowly acknowledged that the vaccinated can still spread the virus, and now are creepingly admitting that the vaccines cause damage. This shows that the powers-that-be aren’t ultimately that powerful.

    And regarding vaccine damage, isn’t it odd that the first acknowledged victim group is young, mature males–the strongest and fittest humans? Logically, how could the vaccine damage that population but not be expected to harm older/weaker demographics?

        • Jarek November 1, 2021 at 1:06 pm #

          I think it was Peter the Roman.

          • hmuller November 1, 2021 at 5:38 pm #

            My mistake. You are correct.

            Some people say that Benedict number 16’s resignation isn’t really legal. And since he’s still alive at 94, he’s still the real Pope. So maybe Francis doesn’t count; and we haven’t seen Peter the Roman yet

            By the way Francis is the first Jesuit Pope. I’ve heard from some people who think he’s a Franciscan because of his name. Very tricky, those Jesuits.

        • anmariwakaranai November 1, 2021 at 9:53 pm #

          Peter the Roman. Bergs family emmigrated from Italy to Argentina.

          • anmariwakaranai November 1, 2021 at 9:55 pm #

            Muller, there was and is a rule, no Jesuit may ever be pope. I think that rule is Jesuit though, so it may be superceded by the Roman or Vatican curia.

          • hmuller November 2, 2021 at 10:51 am #

            I’ve heard of that rule. But there is no doubt that Pope Francis was a Jesuit. So the rule has been broken.

            Here’s some Pope trivia.

            John the19th was Pope from 19 APR 1024 until 20 OCT 1032.

            The next Pope to take the name John was John the 21st who served 08 SEP 1276 until 20 MAY 1277.

            What happened to John the 20th? Did such a Pope never exist and the Vatican historians lost count? Or was there a Pope John the 20th erased from the history books?

    Love your posts, James. That said, American manufacturing is far from dead. I recruit and recently lost my job with a SaaS (software as a scam) company due to a PE baked sale/ Went back into manufacturing and it’s a breath of fresh air. I know where all the good people have been hiding since W was occupant, maybe even further back than that. We’re busy. Lots of people have had it with Big Tech and want to build something “real” (their word, not mine). I’m heartened. These folks couldn’t give a damn about pronouns, mandates, etc. If fact, they’re doing their best to work around all the snowflake bullshit. They’re serious people doing serious work. It will become apparent to all soon enough. Those who have hitched their star to the Big Tech Orgasmic Money Printing Fantasy are in for a real shock. Reversion to the mean, bitchez.

    • Hereward the Woke November 1, 2021 at 10:34 am #

      If you think US manufacturing is in trouble, try the UK. We have a finance industry that makes Wall Streets look like an Amish bank, and all we produce apart from that are postcards of the Queen and cream teas. Well, at least we got our fishing grounds back from the frogs.

        thank you for one of the most entertaining and concise posts I’ve ever read. Having been to the UK numerous times I can say it’s become more of an embarrassment to common sense than the US, as you imply. The only reason to go is history, architecture, and scenery. Oh, and Real Ale. You’ve done something right.

        • Islander November 1, 2021 at 1:13 pm #

          I love the English countryside, with all of the Bronze Age tumuli, fantastic hiking and views. Back in the day I hiked over the Downs and walked right up to and into Stone Henge. I will never forget the experience of seeing Stone Henge in the distance and approaching it on foot over the track in the Downs. Small tumuli all over the place in the fields of sheep. Slept in sleeping bags in the West Kennet Long Barrow grave. Can’t do any of that anymore, but you can still visit Amesbury, walk the Ridgeway, etc.

          One can crisscross the whole British Isles on foot on incredible walking trails.

          But now, it’s a job to even get into the country in one piece. And probably, out again. The country’s leaders have gone mad, and the UK is likely going to be in serious trouble this winter. All the wrong energy and other decisions.

          • beantownbill. November 1, 2021 at 4:48 pm #

            When I went to England, I traveled a lot by bus. I remember taking a bus into the countryside and walking to Stonehenge. Seeing it off in the distance was quite the sight. The vibe there was quite otherworldly.

            When I was walking in London I came across a woman carrying 2 big shopping bags. As I was walking by, she stopped me and asked if I, a total stranger, could carry the bags across the street for her, which I did.

            Can you ever imagine that happening today?

          • Rulo Deschamps November 1, 2021 at 5:53 pm #

            Beantown, Islander,

            I’ve only been to London a couple of times. What I remember the most about it, besides the incredible architecture and museums, is the drunken, random violence. Summer, winter, the streets after dark were dangerous, loaded with menace. Packs of lads swilling lager from cans, looking for trouble, vandalizing, throwing up and pissing in public. Very angry and frustrated. Saw many street fights, some really not “fights” really, just a pack kicking the shit out of someone unconscious on the ground.

            Had to be very careful. I was alone.

            All the European capitals have that repressed rage boiling under the surface. Even Athens! But the countryside is a different story, calmer, wiser. Volunteered at a farm in Greece for a while, and saw nothing of the sort, on the contrary, friendly, genial locals who’d be happy to share the retsina.

            Perhaps the big cities corrupt and degrade.

          • Jarek November 1, 2021 at 6:25 pm #

            Which side? The natives are enraged because they have no future since their leaders sold them out to Islam.

            The Muslims are enraged because they’re not in control yet and thus are practicing an early from of Jihad.

            But think. Maybe that pine resin can help us with something…

            And those lads were fine young cannibals, the violent ones.

      This is exactly what Catherine Austin Fitts was talking about in the interview I saw with her yesterday (w/Joseph Mercola). She said that people are catching on that working in tech, etc is bullshit and soul crushing and are getting creative on how to make a living. She said she new some high-level execs who quit Wall St. and started a high end cleaning company. Some do the cleaning themselves, they enjoy it more than working on Wall St.

      This is my dilemma right now, as I left my job in (barfy) education. Education is finished. It’s been destroyed.

      I’d rather work on a farm than go back to the techie land but that’s my best-paid experience. But, I am going to see how creative I can get about work going forward. Your comment is heartening in that it sounds like a lot of people are of like mind.

      • SW November 1, 2021 at 11:33 am #

        Mary — Many years ago I read a book Your Money or Your Life that lays out a plan to stop work as early in your life as possible without living in poverty — frugal, but not stingy or mean. I can’t say the authors would be overwhelmingly proud of me but it did help bring me back to reality in regards to my work and how to handle finances.
        I’m not saying you need it as much as I did, it’s just a bit of information to pass on 🙂

          “Many years ago I read a book Your Money or Your Life that lays out a plan to stop work as early in your life as possible without living in poverty — frugal, but not stingy or mean.”

          SW,
          I never read nor heard of the book, but that is what I did…retired at 39…same as my father. Spent my “retirement” on various avocations…learned to be a competent machinist, auto mechanic, and built two houses…upscale ones.

          The Saint will understand this…most firefighters are semi-retired at the job, with second and third vocations on their prodigious “off time”…I was always envious.

          • SW November 1, 2021 at 1:59 pm #

            Good for you! I mean that sincerely. My brother retired from stressful tech jobs at 57 and he and his wife moved to the country and lived on a sort-of farm. But Tom was happy and drove the local school kids to sporting events and volunteered with an organization called CASA which helps kids in the foster care system have an advocate.

            He built his own house too and loved doing it. I hope with the change that’s coming to America (probably the world) more and more people will discover talents they didn’t know they had and become machinists, home builders, mechanics and gardeners, just like you and Tom did.

          SW, same here. I read an article once that espoused if you wanted to retire early, to focus not so much about your income during retirement, but your SPENDING. It taught me to pay off all my debts, including mortgage (took my wife and I 7 years of concentrated effort but we did it) and auto loans. Finally no debt. So then I tested how little we really needed to live on. Tried doing it for 6 months and once I was comfortable that we would be comfortable, I retired. That was 3 years ago now and it was the best decision I ever made. Life is wonderful now (just don’t jab me bro!).

            It hasn’t all been bad news with the China flu hysteria. For one thing, it’s taught us how crazy and unnecessary some of our lifestyle choices were back when things were “normal”. Do we really need to go to restaurants, the cinema, on big holidays, or have that big new car? And why should we give our money to them anyway when they are either happy to enforce the stupid rules or too scared to fight? I’ll never forgive the pols for this vaxx apartheid, but it has made me realign my priorities.

          • MaryQueen November 1, 2021 at 6:26 pm #

            Completely agree, Hereward. I was already figuring out I didn’t need any of those things (and had already largely removed them from my life). That’s how I figured out I didn’t need the ‘city life’ any more. And then I figured that cities will be very dangerous soon. Now, I’d like to live out in the country, rather than even the suburbs, where I am.

          • Islander November 4, 2021 at 10:30 pm #

            Hereward—Well, I do enjoy going to the cinema. We have a pretty good film society here, and I appreciate being able to see lots of good stuff—foreign films, documentaries, some first-run features, “serious” animated films, also the Metropolitan Opera and the Bolshoi Ballet etc. on the big screen.

            It is important to have a few things to do to get out of the house. Not good to sit at home all the time and rely on the box for any entertainment. Even with the current covid insanity there are a few things to do around here to get out and about.

      • JohnAZ November 1, 2021 at 2:23 pm #

        Mary

        High Tech IS BS.

        The reason?

        People throughout history built things, for each other. Grew things for each other. Things were done to make life more comfortable for each other.

        With High Tech, that stopped. High Tech has essentially contributed nothing to humanity. Talk on a cell phone? I could talk on a pay or home phone and for a lot less money. Use Maps? Use maps. The worst is email, that has destroyed legitimate communication and any form of etiquette between people. Last, let’s get rid of cursive writing, one of the most individual things a person possesses.

        Computers and the internet may the the advent of the AntiChrist, the times of tribulation. We are now finding out what the HighTech parasites have stolen from us.

        Ourselves, our own identities, our individuality, as we become a password to society, The mark of the beast.

        • MaryQueen November 1, 2021 at 3:49 pm #

          I’m a techie, and I could not agree more. I’ve been with computers since before PCs were invented, and I’m a natural with them. But I liked them when they did make life easier. They don’t any more. And I’ve ceased being amazed at any virtual reality stuff. Nature is 1000x more fascinating to me.

          I like to refer to myself now as sort of a modern day Luddite.

    It seems to me the price of gas and the chip shortage is part of the Democratic agenda. Limiting the use of gasoline and gasoline engines is part of their climate plan.

      747’s came out around 1970. 50 years ago. I remember gym class on the track at my Junior High school watching the big Boeing’s float through the sky. They were in development. That was right after Apollo went to the moon. ’69. We had a 12,000 ft. runway not to far away from my town. They were training 747 pilots with touch-and-goes all day long. 50 Years!! let that sink in. We still use that tech. I drive a car driven a reciprocating engine fueled by petrol.

            It wasn’t really a money-maker, and it was hurt by the 9/11 slump and the high-profile crash in July 2000.

            Eventually, it was determined that subsonic flight was more profitable for the airlines for a variety of reasons.

            The narrow body of the Concorde severely limited space, and thus luxury, which left the extreme speed as the only real attraction of the aircraft.

    Quite some time ago, on this very site, the topic of gun control (I believe) was raised.

    I was sharply criticized for my spirited defense of gun owners I know, as the kind of self-reliant, caring Americans who would be the first to step up and not only offer to help, bu be able to help, in an emergency.

    It was un-PC to support the 2A.

    Well guess what? My gun-totin’ friends also know things like how to put up your vegetables, how to grow them, how to repair your own vehicles, all things that I could use help with from someone more experienced.

      If you think about it. we live in more dangerous times than the settlers did back during the Indian Wars time. At least back then as the country moved West, so did the potential for a Hostile Indian attack on say, New York City or Baltimore. Now however, there are thousands of savages in those cities, and they have guns, firewater, and fancy tennis shoes instead of moccasins. We need to be well-armed now more than ever, wherever we are in the country.

            They didn’t, though.
            The US armed the mujahadeen with advanced weapons in the 80s, or they wouldn’t have gotten very far against the Soviets.
            And the Taliban lost quickly in 2001, when the US attacked them.
            The reason they won in 2021 was because they spent 20 years organizing, getting the different tribes to agree on the one goal of getting the US out of their country.
            They didn’t win by fighting, they won by organizing.

          You’ll have to switch to Indian Trails in Detroit. After that it’s all curbside stops – no station, no restroom, no nothin’. I’m not sure the stop up here even has a curb. Gotta wear a mask too, I don’t see that working out well. If you manage to make it onto the bus at the Flint stop (hour and twenty minute wait, in the cold, in Flint…), post a comment here and I guess maybe I’ll head into town and see who gets off the bus.

      I think attitudes about guns have changed on this site in recent years. We are living in more dangerous times than the Wild West. A month ago, i was in Wyoming visiting my daughter. We went to some Oregon trail sites. It said that the danger from Indians was overblown and that some wagon trains never saw an Indian their entire journey. Hunger, thirst and disease was more of a danger.

    How did the Corona-Panic debacle happen? It’s the question of our time. Much of the main body of commentary in this post follows from it, at the least greatly exacerbating many of the current problems and causing many of them outright.

    One approach to this question is to ask: Who pushed the Corona-Panic? Why? Who set the narrative, policed it, and enforced it?

      It was engineered at every level for years and years. Down to the smallest detail. 2009 was a dry run, didn’t take. AIDs was a dry run, that’s still going on.

      Lots of predictive programming, mind-fuckery, mass hypnotism and fearmongering is how they pulled it off. But it doesn’t work on everyone. They took a gamble that it would work on most.

      • thirdcoastlegend November 1, 2021 at 11:28 am #

        2009 failed because they didn’t have the smartphone saturation social media brainwashing tools in wide enough use on the youth side and they didn’t have the cheap, 85″, 4K smart flatscreens in play on the older folks.

          Disagree.

          They did not have Trump in the WH that they had to get rid of at all costs. Hence Pence, Fauci, Birx and the threat flames they lit and fanned. The main threat was the damage done in the realm of the nursing homes, especially in New York.

          It was entirely political.

          • thirdcoastlegend November 1, 2021 at 6:34 pm #

            Agree to slightly disagree!

            I still think the tools I mentioned are a significant factor in the current mess, but I do agree with you that Trump’s presence in the WH provided incredible motivation for the opposition to push the pandemic narrative.

          As for the conspiracy, I do not believe everyone involved was in on each and every aspect of the conspiracy, as I believe what we had was really a matrix of various little conspiracies.

          What’s bizarre to me is that so many people still believe in various tools employed by the conspirators, no matter how many times they are shown that the conspirators themselves don’t believe in masking, etc.

    Announcer: And now, A Fireside Chat, with President Jimmy Carter.

    [ dissolve to President Jimmy Carter, dressed in sweatshirt marked “Jimmy” as he smilingly pedals an exercise bike attached to a pair of methane tanks ]
    President Jimmy Carter: Good evening, everybody! On many occasions, I’ve — I’ve used symbolic acts to communicate with you. Because I’m aware of symbolism. And, tonight, to symvolize my determination to implement the Carter Energy Program. I’m personally, at this moment, generating all the electricity necessary… to transmit this television broadcast to you! And, you know, there’s enough energy left over to run this electric hot comb. [ he pulls the device out of the bike’s basket, runs it through his hair and smiles ]

    Rosalynn Carter: Jimmy! It’s, uh, my turn to power the broadcast now!

    President Jimmy Carter: Okay. Ready to make the switch, Rosalynn?

    Rosalynn Carter: Okay, now! I’m ready! [ she starts hopping up and down ] 1! 2! 3!

    [ Jimmy jumps off one end of the exercise bike, as Rosalynn jumps onto it from the other side. The screen flickers as she pedals quick enough to match Jimmy’s speed. ]

    Excellent article today, James. Thank you!

    I am hoping to get through this winter hunkered down with all my stocked-up provisions. I hope I’m in a part of the country that doesn’t shut down electricity or gas heat this winter. I have no idea what to expect.

    I would not want to be in a big city right now, that is for sure. Who knows what will happen? When I lived in LA, back in the early 2000s, they were already doing rolling brown-outs and black-outs. And NYC has had their share, too. And that was in prosperous times.

    It is gonna be a rocky road. Community is of the utmost importance, that is for sure.

    “Let’s Go, Brandon” has really started something, alright.

    • Beryl of Oyl November 1, 2021 at 11:10 am #

      NYC already had that never really explained major outage in 2003. Once they got caught in a lie (lightning) about how it happened, there was no reason to accept the final explanation, if if it made sense. Which it did not.

      It was some kind of test.

          IMO, they are testing grids everywhere. My Internet at the house is usually rock solid. Or it was until this year. Every two weeks or so we have a few days where all kinds of strange DNS-related stuff occurs.

    There is a better example of a financial second law of thermodynamics.

    In 1970, a handful of countries, the western world plus Japan, had crafted the rare combination of very many things, institutional and cultural, from the creation of science and technology, freedom of expression, freedom of property, independent judiciary, high trust among citizens, education, respect for authority, dedication to family and children, delaying gratification in the expectation of a better future for you and your children etc that would allow a prosperity unseen in the history of mankind. But that unnatural island of hot (rich) temperatures in the backdrop of a much poorer (cold) wider world, that was the result of boundaries and borders, was not to last. Very many forces came into being to even out the temperatures. From what used to be the right came financial and economic globalization, that offshored and shipped abroad entire industries, impoverishing cities and entire regions – but hey, there is a lot of profit to be made arbitraging labour in a global scale. From what used to be the left came demographic globalization, mass immigration from the third world, pouring Somalis into Minneapolis. Both processes will continue until thermodynamics has run its course, temperatures have evened out, and Detroit is no better off than Port-au-Prince.

      There ya go. We didn’t value what we had – or ourselves. Putting all of faith in “Capitalism” or greed. The Rich were the heroes. Everyone wanted to be a one of them. So if its good for them, it must be good for us. They must know what they’re doing, right? So why not ship all of our jobs overseas – and even more amazingly, then bring in alien workers to under-cut our own people?

      They still don’t get it as witness Sean Hannity giving Tucker a hard time for criticizing the Corporations for being the enforcement arm of the Covidian State.

      Creation is the opposite of entropy. Creation happens and continues to maturity, then entropy entrees and tears things down to “death”.

    The more the narrative falls apart, the more they try to ramp up the fear again.

    Does Jen Psaki actually have a virus? She said she was revealing her ‘positive test’ out of an abundance of transparency or something. I also noticed she was careful to state that she had worn a mask and kept six feet distance from the president.

    Why? Why still endorse things you know did not work?

    No one will ask her to revisit her statement about a pandemic of the unvaccinated, or Joe’s lie about if you get the vaccine you won’t get Covid.

    The Let’s Go Brandon chant is not so much about Joe Biden, as it is mockery of the lying MSM that keeps covering for him.

    I wonder if Psaki just wanted to avoid being overseas and out of a controlled environment with her senile boss.

    • MaryQueen November 1, 2021 at 12:22 pm #

      “Let’s Go, Brandon” is a way for everyone to register their outrage and disgust at not just Biden but the entire tyrannical cabal in charge, who are really running the show. And as we see, it went mega-viral.

      Which means the average person is very unhappy with the state of things. Which shows me that a lot of people are waking up.

      It was funny – I got a text from that kid who was a crisis actor in that Florida shooting false flag – the one that tried to start a pillow company to put the “My Pillow” guy out of business but failed. David Hogg. So he’s shilling for the Democrap party, and texts me begging for money for some candidate or other (Dem of course) and I responded “Let’s Go, Brandon.”

      That phrase is coming in super handy for me.

      • Beryl of Oyl November 1, 2021 at 12:38 pm #

        If that Hogg kid is so brilliant, since everybody knew the shooter was about to explode, why didn’t he do something to prevent it?

        He had a whole organization ready to go, suspiciously fast, after the fact.

        • Paula D November 1, 2021 at 1:20 pm #

            I read (but am not positive if it’s true, because google won’t let you find these things anymore) that Hogg was not even a student at the time of the shooting.

            And yeah, isn’t it funny how they managed to pull off all those coordinated anti-gun rallies?

          • MaryQueen November 1, 2021 at 4:49 pm #

            David Hogg was rewarded with admission to Harvard in fall 2019 with an SAT score of 1270, shockingly low for Harvard.
            The quote below provides some perspective on standards.

            “The school consistently takes SAT composite scores down to 1460 on a 1600 scale, below which admission should be considered a reach. We estimate some students could be accepted with SAT’s as low as 1400. The estimated average SAT composite for admitted freshman is 1520 out of 1600.”

    China suddenly decided to pull a major Covid stunt, after all this time.

    They locked thousands of people in Shanghai Disneyland until they could all be tested, after one woman from another province tested positive.

    Since the vaccines that form the basis for the passports don’t do anything but maybe harm you, I imagine this is what we can expect, from here on out, once they get the passports installed.

      They want to set up a structure like this, by which at any given time, you can be locked up or out, or starved, if you don’t do whatever they tell you to do.

    In addition to corrupting the money supply, setting us up for some kind of debacle that Congress ineptly will “handle”, there’s a concerted effort to create anger and division among people. I lived in Austin 17 years near this Synagog and never once was there any trouble. All this has happened in only the last couple of weeks — right before a city election.

    “Last night around 9pm some of you may have heard extra loud sirens in the area. Unfortunately, the Austin Fire Department had to respond to an arson fire set in front of the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue doors at Shoal Creek and 38th Street. As far as reports say no one was injured and there was no major damage to the building. They are still investigating and do not know who did this.

    This incident follows several acts of hate that have taken place in the Austin area over the last week at Anderson High School and an anti Semitic sign displayed twice over the Far West bridge at MoPac by a white supremacist group who traveled to Austin. ”

    “…..white supremacist group who traveled to Austin”

    My guess is these are the same people or belong to the same group that magically appears and creates chaos and destruction across the country. One time they’re antifa, the next time they’re white supremacists, whatever they’re paid to do. Who’s paying them?

    • Paula D November 1, 2021 at 12:16 pm #

        He seems to be everywhere sowing seeds to destabilize cities. Some of his DAs hold office in Chicago, LA, St. Louis, Philadelphia and probably others I don’t know about. No need to repeat the exploding murder rate in Chicago that the mayor and DA do nothing about.

        “Kim Foxx, the state’s attorney for Cook County and darling of MSNBC, has managed to increase murders in Chicago to astounding levels even at a time when we’re all getting used to astounding crime figures. Nationwide in 2020, murder and non-negligent manslaughter were up 29.4%, according to the FBI. That’s more than double the previous record of 1968, when murders increased by 12.7%.”

        Foxx is a Soros-funded DA.

    The man has an incredible ability to connect the dots and serve up a tasty verbal dish twice a week.

    God bless Mr K indeed!

    —–

    I disagree with his dot-connecting on this though:

    Where I differ from other observers is that I doubt that any sort of extreme government surveillance state can be imposed on the public under these conditions. The people will be too pissed-off and, anyway, the current regime will be broke and out of mojo — possibly to the degree that it has to be shoved aside. “Let’s Go Brandon” is serious business. It’s the end of something.

    I Believe that they did not start something that they can’t finish. Just because we can’t see their plan does not mean that the 1% of the 1% does not have a plan. They do. Other shoes will drop.

    They know what they are doing.

    • O.G. Hawkins November 1, 2021 at 12:32 pm #

      Note: I say the 1% of the 1% because that is more accurate.

      I was in the 1% a decade ago. I remember thinking, “I’ll bet I am the only 1%er protesting the 1%ers here [in Zucotti Park].”

      While my annual income of ~$350,000/year at the time did, indeed, place me in the top percentile, Bill Gates wasn’t calling me up to pick my brain for ideas.

      In fact, at $350,000/year, I was pretty small potatoes even within my own Canadian bank (BMO).

      The bottom of the 1% can lease nicer SUVs, stay at the Better resorts on the Mayan Riviera and not bat an eye at zeroing MasterCard each month.

      But clout? Shit. Small potatoes.

      Even the men & women at BMO making 2x and 3x what I was making were not off to meetings at Davos or Bohemian Grove.

      It is the top 1% of the top 1% that runs this planet. At the bottom of the top 1%, I was still just a cog in their machine and no more.

I went through a probate one time and after the depositions and court appearances, etc. there was quite literally nothing left. And the lawyer admitted that she knew from the beginning it was a complete waste of time but said nothing until the resources ran out. Fortunetly that happened really fast.

    • SW November 1, 2021 at 2:12 pm #

      All this data collecting is not just to sell us junk we don’t need or catch criminals but to have the evidence at their fingertips if a person who crosses them too aggressively becomes a threat. In the not distant future, expressing an opinion can and will be classified as a hate crime if twisted the right way.

      That said, like OG, I’m not sure I agree about the “regime being out of Mojo”.

      I think they can tolerate a high amount of anarchy (eg Detroit/Baltimore inner city chaos and others) and still control people and functions that matter. I think they are fast and furiously trying to implement their “Matrix” so it cannot be reversed. This COVID-19 and especially the shots are the Trojan Horse.

      And yet… if, as JHK seems to imply, the US PTB implode and America devolves, that would seem to comport with the absence of America as a player in major future world events….

  33. Paula D November 1, 2021 at 12:24 pm #

    Yeah, as George the Lesser also pointed out, this sucker is going down.
    I always rejected the “they are killing us all!!!!” hysteria for the last 50 years, since the population went from 3 billion to 7+ billion in that same period of “genocide”. Worst Genocide Ever.
    I figured that TPTB prefer great masses of desperate people to exploit.
    But now? They don’t need THAT many, ffs.
    But how to wipe out a few billion people without empowering the survivors? The Black Death freed the surviving peasants of Europe, and made them quite uppity.
    I think that’s where the surveillance system and the police state, complete with the fusion centers, comes in.
    But that all relies on electricity. What a dilemma. Will they be able to pull it off? Inquiring minds want to know.
    I wonder about the overdoses. As the US pulled out of Afghanistan there went the heroin supply. So what are the junkies ODing on? Whatever it is, it seems effective. Is that the solution for the streets full of young people nodding off?
    Today my water is coming out with air in it. I have running water piped to my house by the city. I guess I should have put in a well. But most people with wells around here rely on electricity to pump it.
    We’re just not used to doing on our own.

    • MaryQueen November 1, 2021 at 12:30 pm #

      Yeah we are headed for hard times.

      I also wondered how the PTB are going to run their techno-feudal global plantation, given the upcoming scarcity of the machinery they would need in order to implement it.

      Even if they could squeak it out – they couldn’t afford to replace anything that broke or was destroyed, not for long. The resources simply won’t be there.

      Maybe the techno-feudalism threat itself is a red herring or smokescreen. After all, they’ve been pretty public about it.

        I remember when US Steel was sold, and the new owners– a hedge fund — began shutting down the mills. The fund Director, quote “Our job is to make money, not make steel.”

        Meanwhile in Glasgow, Captain Planet is negotiating with UN lizards whether you’ll be paying $12 per gallon or $15 per gallon for No. 2 heating oil this winter. Captain Planet is holding out for $15 to show how serious Biden is about holding down global temps 1.5°C by 2100.

        The whole lot of them will be dining on caviar and drinking champagne while they cook up plans to reduce earth’s human population and the best way to do it so nobody catches on. Driving up the cost of home heating (natgas and Kerosene) in Northern regions in winter is a good start.

        Downsizing [miniturizing] industrial society [now underway] for their very exclusive longer term survival seems like an infinitely complex trick. But I can only conclude that is what they have indeed planned and is now playing out.

          Awhile back, people in the UK were scandalized to find out that horse meat was being sold as beef.
          Why did that happen?
          Because in order for Romania to join the EU they had to switch from horses and mules to fossil fuel-powered machines, so they sold off their animals, and in the wonders of capitalism people found a way to make a profit by selling it to supermarkets in the UK.
          Why was that a demand? I forget what year it was, but we were well into post-peak oil times. It was insane to turn people who still farmed with animals into people dependent on fossil fuels.
          But we are not ruled by sane people.

      Re: your well, hmmm.

      People out here relied on wells forever. A lot of people have them. This summer, we got that drought, and a lot of them dried up. So they had no water. Some people had to move because there was no one to dig their wells deeper – they were booked out over a year!

      Then they shut off the irrigation aquifers a month early, so that impacted people who used that water. I guess the west might be less sustainable than the rest of the country at this point.

        • tresho November 1, 2021 at 7:07 pm #

          They do sell 12 VDC powered pumps that will suck water out of basements while the battery lasts. They do sell pumps powered by water pressure that will suck water out of basements while there is still adequate pressure in city water lines. I supposed there are even human pumps available, but you probably have to get them from China.

      • Paula D November 1, 2021 at 1:26 pm #

        Oh, yeah, back to the water wars of the 19th century, but with millions more people.
        How’s that going to work out?
        My uncle lived in a valley in Utah. Everyone knew where the water came from and that it was scarce.
        I remember him getting up a 3am to turn on his water when it was his turn to use it. I wondered why they couldn’t let him turn it on in the day, but maybe it was to stop evaporation.
        To go over the mountain to the “big” city of Provo was an all-day process, because the single road was rutted and you had to go about 15 mph.
        Now I hear that they built a multi-lane highway to Provo and that valley of tiny towns (100 population in that town) has boomed with people commuting over the mountain to the NSA data center they built in Provo. I remember going by Provo on Amtrak and I could not believe the sprawl. Mile after mile of McMansions had been built for the little Eichmann spies.
        All of that relies on water also. So how are they managing?
        I have no idea, but I doubt it is sustainable.

And as I said, he was also against the Marxist Communists, saying that the IWW were Communists and “Look what the Bolsheviks did to the workers in Russia”. Why would we want that here?

          Was he a Socialist? Maybe, not sure. But he was absolutely against the Communists or “the Left”. But of course, funded as they were by the banks, the Left triumphed in this ideological battle.

        In dry summers the well went dry.

        We had to bring in gallons of drinking water from a nearby farmer, 1/2 mile away. The same guy who plowed us out with his tractor when we got snowed in.

        Since we didn’t bathe very often anyhow, the well going dry wasn’t too great a hardship. My mother didn’t care much for housework, so we just made sandwiches and went—that is, walked—to the beach. Had cookout for dinner.

          She told me that when she hit her teenaged years, she would long for Saturday to come, to wash her greasy hair. She said it never occurred to her to wish for running water, just Saturday, which shows how you get used to whatever circumstances you grow up in.

          • Anthea November 2, 2021 at 1:00 am #

            My little town didn’t get city water until 10-12 years ago. Everyone had a cistern and hauled water, or paid to have it hauled. At the time, my household was me and three teenage girls, but I never skimped on showers unless the situation was dire–such as in winter when the roads were bad and I worried that the water trucks wouldn’t be able to get to me. But we did skimp on flushing as much as possible, and developed a lot of oddball habits for conserving water.

            I also used to lie awake on cold nights listening for the pump to cycle on and off. If the pump ran continually because of frozen pipes, you were going to burn up your pump, so it was imperative to unplug the pump if it didn’t cycle off.

            I didn’t realize how stressful all this was until we got city water–all the worrying about the pump and the water level in the cistern.

          • Paula D November 2, 2021 at 2:12 pm #

            That is really crazy. Meanwhile back in the day (pardon my overuse of this phrase, but I may well be WAY behind the curve) there was a serious movement in Britain for using work horses instead of tractors. Reverting back to the use of big ol’ workhorses. Kind of like ‘real ale.” I can’t recall the name of this movement. And the arguments for doing so were pretty good. But of course you have to take care of your team of horses—and know how to drive them and use them for different farm tasks. But they have heart, and like to work. There are a number of breeds.

            Paula D:

            We also had a cistern. The pump was down in a valley—obviously that is where the water was, underground. It pumped the water up to a cistern (a large container or well of some kind with a roof over it) that was on a hillside in the woods above our farmhouse, and the water flowed to the house via gravity. Sometimes the pump conked out and my father had to go down to the valley to fiddle with it. We were allowed to go pretty much anywhere on our own, but we were *strictly* forbidden to go anywhere near that cistern—for fear that someone could fall in if playing around.

          But for watering, cleaning, flushing, absolutely! Roof catchers. Yup
          And I long for those old cast iron pumps.

            typo alert:

            It was pumped up to the cistern from our well.

            As for collecting water in rainbarrels, water that is allowed to sit will of course be discovered by many organisms.

            In Bermuda, rainwater and cisterns are the only source of water.

        • Anthea November 2, 2021 at 1:09 am #

          I’ve done the rain-barrel gambit, with the water diverted to the cistern. It is a huge PITA, as the barrels (and the cistern) must be regularly and thoroughly cleaned. You would not believe how dirty they get.

          Usually when you pump out your cistern to clean it, you discover quite a bit of aquatic life down there, snakes and frogs and such. The bottom of a cistern is a very lonesome place. You need a ladder to get down in there, and a drop light, because it is dark. (Loop the cord of the drop light around a rung of the ladder because there is always about three inches of water at the bottom of a cistern after you pump it out. (The submersible pump doesn’t get it all.) You will be standing in that water, and you wouldn’t want the drop light to fall in the water.

          I could go on, but I won’t.

            Anthea:

            I grew up drinking water from a cistern.
            It pumped up the cistern from our well, then was fed into the house via gravity.

            Everyone who visited remarked on how delicious the water was. As a child I thought this was weird. I assumed that all water was the same, and had no taste.

        • anmariwakaranai November 3, 2021 at 12:27 pm #

          Further to the no rainwater for drinking comment I made….
          The hydrologist is unavailable for comment. But, a few years ago, when I brought it up, it was shut down so immediately and with such vehemence that it reminds me now of my reaction to the quackzine.

          So, this makes me think a couple of things. Said hydrologist is fully on board with the outlawing of private water collectioñ, or, there is some toxin so virulent in the upper atmosphere it must be gassed off prior to (water) consumption. Or both.

    While thinkers did in fact initiate the plan, there was never any guarantee that it would actually work.

    So, why do it? Simple, it’s like Butch and Sundance jumping from the cliff down into the river below: they didn’t have a choice.

    Thinkers of all stripes, from our own JK, some of his merry band of followers, to pragmatic leaders and associated psychopaths, have all long known the score.

    But being able to add 2+2 doesn’t actually mean that any particular plan will succeed. As statisticians will tell you, success/failure is an entirely different event.

    Yes, they will try all means of control, but as Jim noted, it ain’t gonna happen. Do they have a plan B? Of course, but please note that all subsidiary plans are *reactive*, hence increasingly unlikely to succeed.

    That means Mad Max will indeed be the likely outcome. Possibly nukes. Let’s just hope any exchange is regional between secondary players.

    For anyone interested in who wins (assuming they are not nuked), consider why GB was the first to industrialize. Maybe because steam engines required coal, and Albion is literally a solid coal island?

    So, who’s got the goods? Maybe the 3rd Rome?

      A small bunch of us [bunch of ill-informed dreamers and doomers] gamed this all up during the early 2000’s.

      I cannot imagine that many walked away with such an optimistic viewpoint as you have briefly summarized here.

      But like Perry Arnett once wrote way back in those early days:
      “It will be in no one’s best interest to factually report the reality of the decline of fossil fuels once it begins in earnest.”, least of all, perhaps, for those who fancy escaping to unpopulated niches.

      The path to hope is paved with maybe stones.

        India-Pakistan, Rulo? Not a bad bet, I’d wager. There is a great deal of sore feelings on both sides there, and for all we know the Pakistani army, the only lid on the boiling mess that is that “country”, is being infiltrated by the Islamic nutcases. That bunch is not characterized by long-term thinking, and would simply take pleasure in giving the hated Hindus next door a taste of nuclear hotfoot. That they themselves would suffer much more devastation is not really a concern of theirs.

        Fanatics being fanatics, I refer the reader to this [admittedly disputed] quote by the late and unlamented Ayatollah Khomeini: “We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah. For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land [Iran] burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.”

        Now how precisely Islam is supposed to triumph when the world is awash in fire is not detailed. However, as they say “It’s the feeling that counts”.

    Stay nimble, stay local, stay reality-based, be helpful, be honest, be brave, and be kind to each other. We’ll get through it.

    And be actively learning all the things you never thought you’d need to learn in modern society.

    When things tank (and tank hard)…In a flash, plumbers, auto mechanics, welders, gunsmiths, maintenance engineers (know how to fix an industrial boiler, anyone?) and woodworkers will be considered high society.

    The person with twenty chickens in his backyard will be a local hero. Mennonite farmer’s markets will sell out daily. People who know how to procure/process game, knowledgable mushroomers, people who know how to process and filter water properly, and folks who can make breads and prepare all kinds of raw foods (butter, salted meats, cheeses, wines, anyone?) into edible products will be hailed. Doctors with their own equipment and knowledge of how to procure/prepare medicines besides just “ordering them” will be royalty again.

    Libraries will be overrun…valuable information on paper. What a concept.

    And no one will give a shit about the current suburban royalty: the financial planners, the guy that owns an insurance company, the owner of the local Arby’s franchise, or the instant wonders of Netflix. Some small-town mayors and city councils will be very helpful….big city bureacrats will be on their asses and instantly forgotten.

    (Note: I know there are plenty of folks out there, many on this board, that can do one or more of the things listed above…but variety of knowledge will be key.)

    I, like most, know how to do a few things..but, also like most, I am as yet woefully unnprepared for a societal collapse. Off to the library!

        New England was hard-scrabble. Soil was poor. You had to come up with something else to survive. Have ideas and turn them into products.

        Which is why New Englanders were some of the most inventive, adventurous, and business-savvy lot in the colonies—later, nation.

        • hmuller November 1, 2021 at 6:38 pm #

            I first came across the phrase “useless eaters” in the David Irving biography of Goebbels (“unnütze Esser” in German). I had no idea it would become such a popular contemporary meme in English.

            The way the Nazis used the phrase, it meant “someone disabled and incapable of work or contributing to the common welfare of society”. The handicapped, mental defectives – all of no use to the Reich, and thus destined to go the way of the dodo.

            Today it refers to just about anybody the rulers have no use for, which in fact means just about everybody.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 1, 2021 at 2:20 pm #

        Perhaps I could clarify by saying the people that have valuable knowledge and skills will be hailed…by the very small circle of others to whom they allow access to their trades/wares.

        @anmari

        In my myopically channeled ways, emotions, and views over these last 21 years, canning is a massively space and weight intensive means of caching nutrients and calories, practical perhaps only if one is blessed with lots of remote storage spaces.

        May I suggest for the less fortunate among us, beans and fresh bugs.

            I watched some survival show several years ago. The host was out in the desert for a couple of days, trying to survive on whatever he could find. He chased grasshoppers, and caught enough to skewer and roast over a campfire, for a small inadequate meal. He explained that if you didn’t cook ’em, you could get a tapeworm. Anyway, during on his outing, he had to climb a tree, to avoid a herd of Javelinas. I’m thinking, to hell with grasshoppers, get some BBQ!

            @OG

            Musings about barter in a future grid down scenario have been long been a staple of the doomer class. Personally, been that, done there.

            Care to add some insights that might lend any credibility to your views? Specifically, what would possess anyone to trade away calories and nutrients? – salt, on a very limited basis, perhaps.’

            I must confess, OG, I am not at all interested in your seemingly ill-formed opinions on longer term survival. I’m merely secretly tempted by the opportunity to tease you down one of your well-beaten paths of self contradiction.

            You can begin by describing the scenario where you are standing around with buckets of whey surrounded by starving bug eaters.
            “Oh, boys, where are all the white women?”
            “Oh, boys, we gonna eat his nasty ass self or his whey first?”

            Care to add some insights that might lend any credibility to your views? Specifically, what would possess anyone to trade away calories and nutrients?

            Why … the exact same reason as every other transaction for millenia, Tiktok: Supply & Demand.

            “Man does not live by bread alone.”

            I would trade calories and nutrients if I had a surplus (which I am purchasing today). So would you, you arrogant, pompous, presumptive mental midget.

            your seemingly ill-formed opinions on longer term survival.

            I never mentioned “longer[-]term survival.” You did while being continually so very condescending in your strawman building and Bad assumption that you are smarter than me when it’s not even close.

            You can begin by describing the scenario where you are standing around with buckets of whey surrounded by starving bug eaters.

            I never said that I’d be “standing around with buckets of whey” but you argue in a series of lameass strawmen. FYI – It is tiresome and doubly so with your arrogance.

            My scenario starts with the simple premise that, in a crisis, having Supply is Good while having Demand is Bad. I would rather, in the Fall of 2021, have more protein-rich whey powder and less bank digits on account (pardon the pun) of my expectations for the future because I Believe that bank digits will be useless while I know that protein-rich whey powder will keep people both alive and away from starving canalbolism.

            Ain’t nobody going to eat bank digits, Tiktok. Never have. Never will. We all know that.

            Yes, security will be a major issue. Yes, I will only survive this mess via the grace of God. But having supplies is WAY Better than not having supplies. D’uh!

            Quite simple, Really.

            he had to climb a tree, to avoid a herd of Javelinas. Javelinas will bear grudges if you kill part of their group. I read a fascinating story about a couple of javelina hunters in Texas who drove a pickup into the bush to kill javelinas. They killed a few with their rifles. The javelinas banded together and rushed the hunters. The hunters hid in the pickup, shot as many javelinas as they had bullets, but they ran out of ammo. The remaining javelinas couldn’t get to the hunters, but they did succeed in destroying all the rubber in all the truck’s tires. It was a very long time before the javelinas lost interest & left the area.

            I do not believe you understand what a strawman argument is.

            toktomi merely added the words “standing around”…that is called exaggeration, not a strawman.

            Strawman would be something like if he had said, “Whey protein powder? So you’re saying you support the horrible working conditions in China where that whey powder is packaged?”

            def: “…giving the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a new and often false one.”

        anmari,

        thank you for that. Love pickled eggs. I’ll try it.

        One way I make the eggs last for a later day is to share them with others. True, some may take them now and have nothing to offer in the future. But some will. Things I can’t even think of right now.

        Keeping a small flock now (about 15 birds, incl a couple roosters) as I don’t need much and we’re not doing markets. But we can make chicks any time we want to, inclubator or broody hen. Only reason I keep the damn roosters that wake me up way before the sun’s up!

        A few hens are a must as part of a self sufficient lifestyle. Of course there’s no need for a male for egg production, and even in an urban setting, most can get away with hens only. Complaints are usually caused by roosters, hens are not very loud.

        • hmuller November 1, 2021 at 6:47 pm #

        I usually can a lot of soups in the fall–and also chili–so that I’ll have a lot of convenient meals on hand over winter: vegetable soup made with either chicken or beef, black bean soup (serve with rice, for “black beans and rice”), French onion soup, and posole. Posoli is a hominy soup you can make with either pork of chicken, seasoned with a couple of jars of Herdez salsa verde (must be Herdez or it will come out tasting like crap), a little can or two green chiles, a lot of garlic, some onion, and cilantro and lime juice. This stuff kicks ass.

        Lately I’ve been canning a lot of chicken broth, as this is easily converted into chicken noodle soup, chicken and rice soup, or chicken soup with red lentils–or whatever. I highly recommend matzoh ball soup. Store-bought chicken broth taste like water. Chicken broth made with Walmart chickens also tastes like water, so you have to buy the chickens from a store that sells good meats, or from a health food store.

        Most of this type of canning for winter is done by making a huge pot of soup or chili, eating some of it for dinner, and canning the rest of it after dinner.

        People in my area can food like crazy. My daughter’s house has a small room off the kitchen that is her pantry for canned goods. It is not unusual for people around here to tell you they canned 100-300 quarts of tomatoes over the summer.

          Anthea, it all sounds yum!

          I’ve only canned applesauce (labor-intensive but oh, so good), pickled beets (to die for), and chutney. Prepared the chutney in a big pot, stirring with a big wooden spoon and trying to keep my face away from the stinging steam coming off the hellish brew. Onions, garlic, hot peppers, the works. Damn, it was pungent. Jarred it in Ball jars and did the hot water bath. Yield: about a thousand half pints. Gave some to my folks. Dad, being adventurous, took a great spoonful and nodded his approval.

        Good job, WH. You are correct. Digits can be lost forever. Digits can be stored in formats that make them no longer accessible.*

        Hard-copy is True archive. Hard-copy can be found by archeologists millennia from now. Hard-copy is king.

        When the digits go away, archeologists will find that the 1960s and 1970s have more robust recorded history than do the 2010s.

          Thats Right OG !!!!!

          I have everything from animal husbandry (1930’s and earlier)

          to all the trades including masonry, welding, mechanical, you name it

          I gots it. Even settin up and running a circle saw mill, which I did

          and sawed all my own lumber, 15 yrs ago.

          As the old people would ask in the early last century..

          Can you birth a calf, milk a fresh cow, harness a horse, trim its feet,

          And hook to a plow and plow ground….

          can you use a forge and or a welder, fix the tractor, doctor the sick animals,

          Build a fire in the cook-stove and then cook a meal on it ??

          grow a garden, cook the wood chuck that was eatin it, can and preserve your food………

          How many, can anyone here, answer yes too ???

Right now I make soap to sell, so it looks like the Crown Jewels of Austria and is scented with the fanciest fragrances, and loaded up with mango butter, shea butter, and cocoa buttere. My last batch was scented with a dupe of Armani Code, done in molds of the Green Man, the Great Wave of Tanagawa, and classic ovals. (You can see I’m really into this.) They were colored gold.

          But I can make soap with lard and lye, if it comes to that. I’ll figure out the part where you make lye from wood ashes.

      Very true observation: impossible to know how to cope with every kind of need – but very possible to build relationships with those with different skills now, while there’s still time. Give, always give – time, produce, seeds, anything you’re good at. You will receive.

      Also, have a good collection of technical books. Nobody wants books anymore, so they are cheap at thrift stores.

    • SpeedyBB November 4, 2021 at 4:48 pm #

      Ed Haskell –

      Do you perhaps remember the mid-1980s (I recall – not too far off in any case) when central banks around the planet were screaming about having to go to the trouble and pay good money to store precious metals?

      “What are we doing? Is this Babylonia? Who in the world is going to need gold bullion?”

      I remember very clearly in the 1970s when the price of gold was burbling around the $270 ~ $300 / oz. level and I thought very hard about buying bullion, just for the hell of it. But I was a guy on the move, and precious metal is more or less immovable (as the Germans found out, to their sorrow, when they attempted to repatriate theirs from the American banks, where they had stashed it for ‘safekeeping’ [cue sad laugh track]).

      Attitudes toward the nature of money have certainly shifted in the past couple of decades. Indians and Chinese, however, have had their eye on the ball, at least when it comes to hanging onto, and grasping at more, bullion. They’re no fools.

      The comments about masks reminded me- there was a letter in the paper a week or so ago, directed at a local business, telling them to take down the “idiotic” tape they had up to enforce one-way aisles.

      That cheered me.

      • Jarek November 1, 2021 at 2:10 pm #

        During the height of the madness, I had one woman stop on the sidewalk (as if she was a car at a stop sign) in order to let me pass even though she could have passed before I got there. But I wasn’t passing but turning right, right past her. I looked deeply into her foolish face as I passed. She felt silly because she was silly.

        And of course the all kind of people walking into the street to get the minimum six feet, turning away on trails, or desperately donning masks, etc. I remember the young woman because of the bizarre mechanical behavior she adopted – like the one way aisles.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 1, 2021 at 2:33 pm #

          Yeah, of course it was quite strange for most people that first few days, or even weeks, depending on ones worldview.

          I remember the first time I paid a clerk with cash on day one of “lockdown”. I just kind of held it out and said, “Do you want this directly, or should I set it on the counter?”

          He just shrugged and said, “I don’t know. Whichever.”

          But out for a run or a walk it was strange seeing people cross the street if other people were coming their direction. It’s called outside, folks. Never saw anyone stop and wait for someone to pass though…

  40. amb November 1, 2021 at 2:59 pm #

    I believe that Mr. K is on the right track. His projections are reality-based and display an intelligent insight.

    One point I do want to make, is this: As of the early 1930s, we are no longer on a gold standard, and as of 1971 the international gold window was closed. No person, country or government can ever obtain gold for their USD from the Treasury or Fed Reserve ever again. Many people still think with and use all the principles of a gold standard in their calculations and projections. Big mistake. You can’t think like this any longer, you can’t compare our government to the economics of a household (that is apples and oranges, since households don’t have printing presses).

    The USA will never have hyper-inflation (the actual definition of hyper-inflation is that the currency of a country is totally worthless, examples being Weimar Germany, Argentina, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, etc.). If a country, such as the USA, is the monopoly issuer of the currency–in other words, has a printing press–they can NEVER run out of money to pay “debt”, etc. The countries that experienced actual hyper-inflation, unlike the USA, didn’t have a stable bond market, had debt in other currencies, and didn’t have an infrastructure of natural resources and production capacity.

    As long as a capitalist economy such as that in the USA is extant, and has the opportunity to balance production of products/services with the money supply, it can survive and grow. Thus, if an administration comes into power that is smart enough to follow the America First agenda (supporting small business in every way possible, building an infrastructure that supports business and thus prosperity, etc.) and bring US capacity up into the zones of 70% and moving higher, we would not have inflation. This country has incredible potential for capacity, productivity, etc. It just needs to be taken out of the hands of globalists/marxists and other corrupt and interfering entities, and run by people who understand economics and actually have the well-being and future of the USA in mind.

    In other words, the only way this country will survive is if its government, NGO and other institutions, media, etc. are purged of all hostile and destructive elements. They are deeply embedded and have been working intently 24/7, for decades to obtain and maintain power and enact their agenda. They are immoral, evil and will stop at nothing. Thus, what is required, the ONLY solution, is… revolution.

      amb,

      good observations. An often overlooked fact is the appetite of the world for US dollars. I’m very familiar with one of the hyperinflation countries you mention, and you are spot on – the population runs to buy dollars at every sign of trouble. Billions, trillions, taken out of circulation and stashed in mattresses, all over the world. Not an insignificant fact.

      • amb November 1, 2021 at 4:43 pm #

        Right Rulo. Another thing that people don’t understand is that… global trade has a very small percentage of USD use. This fear that Russia, China, etc. are setting up their own systems for trade, energy purchases, etc. is really insignificant. The huge majority of the global capital that moves around (the “electronic herd” searching for safe vehicles and returns) is all in USD. It’s only safe currency. And the US has the largest bond market on the planet, and will always be considered the safe haven for capital.

        Another erroneous understanding… is that US Treasuries are our debt; the US debt. It isn’t. USA isn’t in debt to anyone. We have never borrowed in another currency. We don’t owe any debt to China, etc. The treasury market is just the biggest, safe, bank account on the planet (all kept by the Fed Reserve). It is where governments, funds, individuals keep their money. US gov doesn’t have to, yet, they pay a little coupon interest on the bills, notes, and bonds. The current 28T is not “government debt”. It is the assets of all non-government institutions and individuals. You can also look at it as the amount of money since the start of the US gov that the gov hasn’t taken back as tax revenue. There is no danger in this. People don’t understand our monetary and fiscal system and policies and how it all works. They are freaking out because they think from a “gold standard” orientation.

      • SpeedyBB November 4, 2021 at 9:45 pm #

        Rulo –

        Long ago I gave up on trying to awaken businesspeople with whom I’d become friendly – or who were my valued clients – as to the precariousness of the Gringo Peso. They were not only not interested; it was as though I was speaking some arcane tongue.

        This includes the hard-nosed, alert, eternally wary ethnic Chinese, whom it is most trying to attempt to fool. Smart as they are, they cannot see through Uncle Sam’s gauzy curtain.

        All through Asia, in spite of all the helicopter wildness from Washington and the trillions spilt merrily in military adventures, the locals admire, nay worship the greenback.

        It is sobering to talk to a local multi-millionaire and observe how blithely he elides over all the troubles and ignores all warning signs.

        What an awakening awaits these fellows. I’m even tempted to attempt to sell them a bridge or two.

      Well, I would say, you’ve met your prerequisite life-requirement of at least one dose of lysergic.

      A locked mind in terrible thing to waste.
      Long live collaborative thinking and the synergism of consensus among the diverse.

      Been that and hope to never be done there.

      There’s been many time that I have mused, “I need to do some new indept pondering of this thing or that. Time to light up.”

      Can’t speak to psilocybin or mescaline. I’ve read that raw opium is a conscious lady of immaculate caress of the soul, but not to be trifled with.

      We were once labeled during those days of the flower children as “freaks”. I have since proudly worn that as a medal of honor. I am a freak, perhaps “blissfully ignorant and proud of it”.

      PS I agree with you. Smoking is a calculated risk (for instance). Ditto for the psychedelics (noting that Timothy “Weary of” Leary died of cancer).

      Drinking, on the other hand, is downhill all the way. You’ll occasionally bump into a George Burns, firing up his stogies at 100 years of age.

        I feel impelled to observe here that the airmanship of Japanese fighter pilots began a steep decline, following the debacle of Midway in mid-1942 (barely six months after Uncle declared War on the Empire). By 1945 they were training pilots in bamboo models and could not really afford the aviation fuel to give them more than a few hours of flight time before sending them off on their heavenward journey (with an abrupt smacking-into-the-carrier stage).

        It was cruel, watching them all dolled up in their flight suits and goggles, toasting each other with a glass of water (Japanese still don’t do that, for just that reason) before getting welding into their cockpits and heading off on their doomed missions.

        A classic case of “You wouldn’t send up a kid in a crate like that”.

    Jim’s perspective that he “…doubts that any sort of extreme government surveillance state can be imposed on the public under these conditions…” is really worth a more in-depth discussion.

    First, I hope he is right.

    However, it may also be the case that the power disparities between the average citizen and national security state apparatus have now become too great (for example the fact that the NSA has had operational for at least 7 years a data-base called Mainway that is preconfigured to map any of our lives at a touch of a button) means clamp-down instruments are in place, operational and already being used).

    If growth collapses, financial crisis accelerates. and social break-down expands I have little doubt that more and more “extreme government surveillance” will become the operational norm.

    Can “Lets Go Brandon” chants be turned into some type of real counter-move against such embedded power?

    “What about all that money (capital) flowing into technology: Facebook, Google, Amazon?”

    Amazon makes AWS and its cloud.
    They make information. They make the ether that holds the information.

    thegrayzone dot com:

    “As the military surveillance firm and NATO contractor Thales recently put it, vaccine passports “are a precursor to digital ID wallets.”

    And as the CEO of iProove, a biometric ID company and Homeland Security contractor, emphasized to Forbes, “The evolution of vaccine certificates will actually drive the whole field of digital ID in the future. So, therefore, this is not just about Covid, this is about something even bigger.”

    For the national security state, digital immunity passports promise unprecedented control over populations wherever such systems are implemented. Ann Cavoukian, the former privacy commissioner of Ontario, Canada has described the vaccine passport system already active in her province as “a new, inescapable web of surveillance with geolocation data being tracked everywhere.”

    For tech oligarchs such Bill Gates and neoliberal institutions such as the World Economic Forum, digital ID and digital currency systems have already enabled the extraction of unbelievable profits in the Global South, where hundreds of millions of people remain “unbanked” and therefore outside the sphere of electronic payments systems.”

    “New York City offers a glimpse of the program in store for the rest of the country. The city’s “Key to NYC” requirement, which went into effect September 13, requires proof of vaccination to work at or attend indoor dining, indoor fitness, and entertainment venues like museums, stadiums, arcades, and theaters.”

    “While a state-mandated treadmill of boosters may seem unappealing to many, if not outright hellish, for others the nightmare presents the opportunity of a lifetime. As early as May 2020, only seven weeks after the pandemic was declared, US tech billionaire Bill Gates predicted that “eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it.”

    The Gates Foundation recently helped fund a WHO paper providing “implementation guidance” for proof of vaccination certifications across the world. The authors crafted the paper alongside the Rockefeller Foundation and with guidance from several high-level representatives of the World Bank.

    According to Foreign Affairs, “few policy initiatives or normative standards set by the WHO are announced before they have been casually, unofficially vetted by Gates Foundation staff.” Or, as other sources told Politico in 2017, “Gates’ priorities have become the WHO’s.”

    Also at the forefront of the shift to digital credentials is the World Economic Forum (WEF). “The Forum is involved in the WHO task force to reflect on those [vaccine credential requirements] standards and think about how they would be used,” reads a May WEF article.

    “On paper, the WEF (also known as the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation) is an NGO and think tank “committed to improving the state of the world.” In reality, it is an international network of some of the wealthiest and most influential people on the planet. The Forum positions itself as the thought leader of global capitalism.”

    “The latest version of Apple’s iOS, iOS 15, even includes SMART Health Card support. In January 2021, several WEF partners, including Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, and several other “heavyweights,” announced a partnership to launch the Vaccine Credential Initiative (VCI) to develop digital immunization authentication tools, according to Forbes. Aiming to institute a single “SMART Health Card” for the world, the VCI intends for its SMART Health Cards to be recognized “across organizational and jurisdictional boundaries.”

    ““Digital identification is key to inclusive growth,” claimed McKinsey, the global consulting firm, in 2019.

    “Something like 1 billion people could be more financially included and participative,” said Mike Kubzansky, managing partner of Ebay founder and media mogul Pierre Omidyar’s Omidyar Network during a WEF panel exploring how “Digital Identification Provides a Significant Opportunity for Value Creation.”

    Like Gates, Omidyar is heavily invested in the advancement of digital ID and currency systems through his Omidyar Network, which collaborates with the World Economic Forum on the Good ID initiative.”

      and on and on and..
      “US privacy advocates have pointed to digital national identity programs like Aadhaar as gargantuan surveillance tools that establish the basis for a social credit system.

      Addressing the US House Committee on Financial Services in July 2021, Elizabeth Renieris of Notre-Dame’s Technology Ethics Lab warned, “The Aadhaar number in India is able to track your activity across all facets of your life, from employment to healthcare, to school, to pretty much everything you do. You can’t retain autonomy over specific domains of your life. You can’t separate your personal and professional reputation. You can’t have this kind of contextualized personal identity. I think that’s really problematic.”

      “We must avoid building digital identity systems and infrastructure in a way that further expands and entrenches the surveillance state, as does the national identity system in India,” Renieris continued.

      But it is the all-encompassing social credit aspect of Aadhaar that has made Gates so fond of the system.

      Addressing India’s top policy makers in 2016, the world’s second wealthiest man declared, “Over time, all of these transactions create a footprint and so when you go in for credit, the ability to access the history that you’ve paid your utility bills on time, that you’ve saved up money for your children’s education, all of those things in your digital trail, accessed in an appropriate way allow the credit market to [score the risk properly].“

      and on and on and on

      “Two days before anti-Green Pass protests exploded across Italy, the renowned philosopher Giorgio Agamben appeared before the Italian Senate’s Constitutional Affairs Commission to issue a dramatic statement of opposition to the Green Pass.

      Agamben is most famous for his concept of Homo Sacer, or bare life, in which an individual is stripped of rights and reduced to their biological essence in an extra-legal regime justified by war or other emergencies. When Italian authorities declared the first lockdown in March 2020, the philosopher applied the theory to his own country’s heavy-handed restrictions.

      “The defining feature…of this great transformation that they are attempting to impose is that the mechanism which renders it formally possible is not a new body of laws, but a state of exception – in other words, not an affirmation of, but the suspension of constitutional guarantees,” the philosopher explained in the foreword to his collection of 2020 writings on Covid-19, “Where Are We Now: The Epidemic As Politics,”

      In his remarks before the Italian Senate, Agamben pointed to a sinister agenda behind the official rationale for vaccine passports: “It has been said by scientists and doctors that the Green Pass has no medical significance in itself but serves to force people to get vaccinated. Instead, I think we must say the opposite: that the vaccine is a means of forcing people to have the Green Pass. That is, a device that allows individuals to be monitored and tracked, an unprecedented measure.”

      • 100th Avatar November 1, 2021 at 3:52 pm #

        And on to the point:

        “I believe that in this perspective,” Agamben warned, “it is more urgent than ever for parliamentarians to consider the political transformation underway, which in the long run is destined to empty parliament of its powers, reducing it to simply approving – in the name of bio-security – decrees emanating from organizations and people who have very little to do with parliament.”

        • 100th Avatar November 1, 2021 at 4:02 pm #

          Did you reread this crucial nugget? I’ll post it again:

          “Addressing India’s top policy makers in 2016, the world’s second wealthiest man declared, “Over time, all of these transactions create a footprint and so when you go in for credit, the ability to access the history that you’ve paid your utility bills on time, that you’ve saved up money for your children’s education, all of those things in your digital trail, accessed in an appropriate way allow the credit market to [score the risk properly].“

          Rearing children will be expensive and burdensome by design.
          At least for the working classes and lower middle-classes, the consumer classes (not producers), who tend to contribute to overpopulation in greater frequency.

            I get this strange feeling of deja vu.
            This part gets me. Fauci said something similar..
            ” May 2020, only seven weeks after the pandemic was declared, US tech billionaire Bill Gates predicted that “eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it.”
            Now they say everyone has to get the jab, whether they are already immune or not. Why? Because they monitor us and they realize that the vast majority of Americans are gullible and submissive idiots. Fauci said as much when asked why he raised the “scientific” level of herd immunity from 60% to 80% (and now 100%). He responded that he realized he could get away with it.

      The herd’s being inventoried and catalogued prior to taking a large percentage to slaughter. Current human cattle market prices are lousy, but they plan on more than making up for that on volume. It’s industrial capitalism’s final hurrah. It produced things for human consumption as long as it could, now it’s turning to producing human consumers for consumption as its final act. This was always the plan.

      The digital IDs will also work much better once the population gets whittled down under 1B or so.

    Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures exist. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://health.p0l.org

      Wait a few years, as those who got the vax will have a continuously degrading and unworkable immune system, and when “flu season” comes they will be dying by the hundreds of thousands, maybe millions.

      They’ll be dying from the vaccines, yet, this new tsunami of deaths will give the globalists another crisis in which to push and force the need for mandatory vax for EVERYONE, under the false concept that C19 and other viruses and bacteria are the source. Nope… the globalist agenda (aided by Big Pharma and the corporate media) is the source of all of these deaths and massive destruction to our country and its infrastructure.

      We either take these people out or they’ll take us out. Americans need to wake up and realize that it is either kill or be killed.

        WHO MAY RE-ENTER THE U.S. AS OF WHEN?
        As of November 8, 2021, travel to the U.S. will only be permitted for individuals fully vaccinated and tested against COVID-19. For the time being, this applies exclusively to entry by air and thus to passengers departing from their foreign destination on Monday, November 8 as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST).
        For air travelers from Germany for instance, the new rule will thus take effect at 06:01 a.m. on November 8.

        EXEMPTIONS FROM THE MANDATORY VACCINATION
        The new regulation lists a very limited number of people who can travel to the United States without a full COVID-19 vaccination record, i.e., unvaccinated:

        U.S. citizens
        Green Card holders (= lawful permanent residents)
        diplomats, government officials or their family members (A-1, A-2, C-2, C-3, E-1 TECRO / TECO, G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4, NATO visas) and representatives of the United Nations
        crew members of airlines or shipping companies (C-1/D visas)
        members of the U.S. Armed Forces or their spouses and children (under age 18)
        children under the age of 18 (i.e., ages 0 to 17 at the time of travel)
        participants in certain COVID-19 vaccine studies (with official verification)
        individuals with an officially confirmed medical contraindication to COVID-19 vaccination
        individuals, with an official exemption from U.S. authorities based on a medical / humanitarian emergency
        NOTE: It is currently unclear on the basis of which exact exemption grounds, in what form, and with which U.S. authorities an exemption can be requested (possibly through U.S. consulates or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)).
        persons whose entry is in the national interest of the U.S. (including an official confirmation in this regard)
        NOTE: This is determined by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Department of Transportation. However, it is unclear on what basis, in what form and with which U.S. authorities a confirmation can be requested (possibly through U.S. consulates or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)).
        citizens of countries with limited availability of COVID-19 vaccines who enter on a nonimmigrant visa (other than B-1, B-2, B-1/B-2 visas; see CDC’s country list).

        When Rand Paul is more or less alone in resisting, and his primary argument is “natural immunity,” rather than the fact that all of this is entirely illegal, against the Nuremberg Codex, and being done with no vote whatsoever, I would say the outlook is rather bleak at present.

I think our drought this summer, and Californians who don’t like the culture or winter weather (which is mild, compared to, say, the midwest) have gone back. I personally know one woman I met here who returned to CA because she was ‘bored’ and slightly cold, lol.

    I see some residents in the rural west are beginning to practice DIY (“mercenary”) firefighting…buying up old fire trucks, hoarding used firefighting equipment, and using social media to report small fires before they spread. Of course, firefighters unions would have none of this, insisting that letting citizens fight fires (on their own property no less) is dangerous.

    Perhaps now is the time to humbly remember that Aldo Leopold died of a heart attack (or was it covid?) fighting a fire on his Wisconsin farm in 1948.

      I suspect that many here are aware of COP26 (whatever that means). I am. But I can’t, frankly, be bothered by a lot of climate hoo=hah that, i ahve become convinced, is chapter 2 of the Covid hoax.

      Kerry et al. fly to Glasgow in their private jets and palaver about what the peons will be allowed to do. Then they fly home in their jets.

      Give me a break. I would be delighted to hear that all of the jets had been grounded as fossil-fuel fossils, and the “delegates”and honchos and honchas a la Greta had to figure out how to get home on their own.

    ” I doubt that any sort of extreme government surveillance state can be imposed on the public under these conditions.”
    One way to impose an extreme government surveillance state without high technology is to do like the Gestapo did with ubiquitous snitching as a patriotic duty. I know a family that say they got fined heavily during the California COVID lockdown for having too many people in their home for a birthday celebration. The neighbors turned them in to the police.

    “… papered-over for two years by ‘helicopter money’ from the federal government — direct payment to the people for doing nothing, producing neither goods nor services. This has been an impressive trick. The money comes from nowhere and for nothing.”

    But the ‘money’ does come from somewhere – lots of men and women in uniforms and holding menacing metallic things in their hands that can harm you seriously and saying, ‘THIS IS MONEY!’

    OK, OK, it’s ‘Money’. That is the only reason that thin air can be considered something of value other than its proper use as something to breathe.

    But when those lots of men and women in uniforms holding menacing metallic things in their hands that can harm you decide for themselves one day that thin air is NOT money… that’s when things get interesting. A mad scramble by everyone once the true value of thin-air ‘Money’ is laid bare for all to see.

    More people will stop doing ‘something’ instead of ‘nothing’ at that point when ‘Money’ is no longer the carrot at the end of the stick
    when the remaining productive people who go to work finally quit going to their jobs. You might get a magic digital download into your bank account with numbers attached to it… but those numbers will no longer ‘buy’ anything anymore.

    “Stay nimble, stay local, stay reality-based, be helpful, be honest, be brave, and be kind to each other.”

    None of these things requires ‘money’. Just basic human decency. And when you look around, you’ll see that there’s been a big shortage in human decency for a long time now and it has nothing to do with tankers backing up in the harbor. But we’ll never make it through without rediscovering our better nature.

    Real virtue. Seems to exist somewhere out in the thin air. But this stuff is valuable as hell.

      It appears from here that new “money” supplies are injected into the global financial system not by “support our troops” mayhem but quite directly among the central banks and their minion banks. Check out the carry trade from Fed to US treasuries.

      Human decency – yes. My hope [for the species] is with those who are genetically predisposed with empathy. They appear to me to be a nearly insignificant minority, at least among the north american and european populations.

    I once, for a lengthy period of time, frequented r/collapse.

    It was ALL about climate change.

    There may, in my singular estimation, exist there a few salient points, but on the whole it is an issue in nearly every way beyond the scope of the tiny minds of us of the masses.

    “You can spend all your time making money.”
    “You can spend all your love making time.”
    You can rail about things which are far beyond your ability to understand and to influence. One can also walk away with equal effect.

    Just a simple point of conjecture, I would offer that the immediate future of humanity probably hangs not so much in the balance of climate variations [natural or human caused] as it does with the current administering of lethal injections. But I’m still trying to connect the dots and I know nothing.

    ” Even many of those goods produced in other lands aren’t making it to the docks, and the reduced flow of goods that happened to already land on the docks can’t get unloaded and delivered to its various destinations because of disruptions in the US trucking sector. ”

    Our host used to write about the foolishness of a just in time inventory systems. A slight shock to such a system resonates because there is no stockage to absorb a shortage and no space to absorb a surge in both finished goods and raw materials. When I read about “supply chain problems” I recall those old articles warning about using trucks as moving warehouses.

    Stay. During this pandemic people from the U. S. kept up using the motto “Stay Safe”. Cower and be fearful. Here, the ROK government and its people set a very different tone. Their motto was “Stay Strong”. Keep working to solve this problem.

    This country is also still producing things there are factories all over the place and they’re building more and more of them. I’m not saying they don’t make mistakes and haven’t any problems just that the people here have an attitude toward solving their problems and correcting their mistakes. Their attitude seems to align with the above quote.

    “CEO John Stankey has claimed that private corporations, including his own, have an “obligation to engage on this issue of racial injustice” and to advocate for “system reforms in police departments across the country.

    A senior employee reportedly told Rufo that managers at the company now face annual assessments on diversity issues and are forced to participate in discussion groups, book clubs, mentorship programs and race reeducation exercises.

    White employees who are unwilling to admit to being complicit in “white privilege” and “systemic racism” can be penalized in their performance reviews. Additionally, those who refuse to sign a loyalty pledge to “keep pushing for change” and to set “intentions” such as “reading more about systemic racism” and “challenging others’ language that is hateful,” are considered “racist,” the employee told Rufo.”

      One huge question Mary.

      What racial injustice? This is a con job by an unbelievable takeover of American institutions by Communist con men. The real racism comes from the Dark Side. The criminal cities!

      Gee, do you think that the leaders of international corporations might be globalist Communists? Duh!

      If we had a government that cared about America first, remember Trump the nationalist, these international corporations would be thrown out of America and a groundswell of real American business would rapidly take their place.

      IOW, get the globalists out of our country.

      • MaryQueen November 1, 2021 at 9:16 pm #

        Totally a globalist thing.

        It was gobsmacking to me, watching my coworkers at the college fall one by one to this unbelievable bollox. This country – IMHO – had never been LESS racist than it was by 2015, and yet, the Evergreen College fiasco showed us what was coming. Suddenly the students ALL thought that the college was inherently racist, when the year before, they were all content being at the most liberal college in the country.

        Hmmm, I wonder what may have changed to make the students suddenly go bonkers over white supremacy?

        A new president was installed to start the mini-color revolution in that college, and to pour gasoline on the fire, they invited Robin DiAngelo to speak at the college and get most of the instructors on board. It quickly evolved into Wokie World.

        If anyone is wondering how all this happened, you should look up Brent Weinstein and Heather Hyers’ documentary about how this all went down. It was ground zero for what we’re seeing now.

        It was disatrous – so of course a victory for the PTB.

        • roccofire November 1, 2021 at 11:23 pm #

          Thank you Mary for pointing this out. Bret and Heather are brilliant scientists and respected by the left, until they began to question the woke thinking and got cancelled. YouTube has demonetized them and many others who ironically are not right wingers but old nerd liberals like myself. Their new book, “A Hunter-Gatherer’s guide to the 21st century” is being attacked by woke media and woke scholars.

          It so pisses me off, that some of my favorite food and vitamin companies have sold out to – of all people – Nestle.

          I consider that no less than sheer evil.

          Garden of Life was a medium-sized company doing perfectly well, with probably 100s of thousands of people buying their excellent protein powders, vitamins, etc. But Nestle came knocking on the door and they thought it was better to just sell the company for a few million. Why would people do this? Utter greed? Makes no sense. if i had a small profitable company with loyal customers, there is no way I’d sell it to some evil monster corporation.

    According to the Wikileaks Podesta emails, John Podesta, Hillary, and Humah Abedine were going to the “Spirit Cooking” parties of that Romanian woman who is convinced that she’s a bona fide “Witch”. The MSM tried to laugh it off by declaring that the “Spirit Cooking” sessions were just “Dinner Parties”.

    It seems that some women believe that they are “Witches”. What do you do if one day your wife joins some Feminist coven and becomes convinced that she’s got power over all the men who have oppressed her and held her down since she’s “Special”, that she’s a Witch?

    “ It all began when a young girl, Alison Device, who was from one of these families of healers, cursed a Yorkshire pedlar, John Law, who proceeded to have a stroke. Alison, who was genuinely convinced she was a witch, confessed to what she’d done, leading to Law making an official complaint. Alison, her mother Elizabeth, and brother, James, were brought before a magistrate who had been tasked with investigating the affair. James testified that his sister had bewitched a local child, while Elizabeth admitted that her own mother, Elizabeth Demdike (also known as Elizabeth Southerns), had a mark on her body. These were known as “Devil’s Marks” or “Witch’s Marks.” According to lore, the Devil would mark his witches in this way, after she had made a pact to serve him. Unusual marks on witches’ bodies were used as part of a cumulative case against them.300 Witches would then be “pricked” to discover if the marks were, in fact, the sign of the devil. It was believed that if you pricked one of these marks, the witch would not feel pain, nor would the mark bleed.”

          Luciferians/satanists’ most important thing is adhering to their symbolism, which includes very specific dates and numerology, etc.

          Halloween is a big one for sacrifices, that is for sure! Lots of other very important dates during the year. I’ve read a lot about it but I haven’t memorized all that many of their important dates. But for some reason, besides Halloween, 10/12 is a big one. Lots of famous deaths (mysteriously) happened on that day apparently.

          Everything has symbolic meaning to those freaks.

          I see that Madam X(peration date) aka Madonna for some reason just did a recreation of the Marilyn Monroe death scene as a layout for some magazine. This is a prime example of the ritualistic shit they are constantly doing. Once you see a few of them you will notice the patterns.

          Much like killers who return to their murder scenes, or trophies, these people like to celebrate the memories of their more famous trophy killings. No doubt Monroe was one.

      My favorite case was Giles Corey.

      He was a man.

      But it sure seems like the case of witchcraft is like the case of rape ;

      If a man gets hanged , or raped , it’s no big deal.

      Except that maybe other men will laugh at their misfortune.

      I think the sisterhood is a joke, but perhaps that’s just my eccentric opinion ?

      No question about it , though , there is no brotherhood.

      Men are purely cannibalistic.

      Anyway , the court day comes up , and Giles Corey refuses to plead.

      A loop hole in the quaint laws of the time was that without a plea court action cannot proceed.

      They can , though , try to compel you , up to the point of death , to make a plea.

      That is what they proceeded to do ;

      they piled rocks on Giles Corey’s chest until he died.

      Was Giles Corey suicidal or crazy ?

      No , he was protecting his family.

        YES, I got a historical tour of Salem before the misbehaving microbes from China, I mean an unknow place of origin arrived. The tour guide told us that Mr. Corey When he was being questioned,( by putting heavy stones on him) they asked for a plea and he would respond by telling them to add more stones. Emperor Marcus would be proud. Salem was also the headquarters of American spy activities before and during the Revolutionary war.

        Kesa,

        I noticed a week or so ago that you mentioned Joseph Mengele. You may have already seen this, but I am mentioning just in case, because it looks like a good piece of research: https://www.bitchute.com/video/W11DMwOpdLe1/

        The best of the videos I have seen about the subject are a pair on Bitcvhute posted in the channel called Vasili. I cannot link to it because for the last year or two the channel is among those which I can no longer watch on Bitchute in Irleland because teu ave bammed ot. They are about Treblinka, Majdanek and Sobibor and called The Evidence For The Holocaust Parts 1 and 2. If you find the Vasili channel you have to scroll down to around March 2019 or 2018 from memory. I cannot find them searching with Google. I have to use a foreign IP address to watch them so I saved them to my desktop.

I think that low dose aspirin is a blood thinner that prevents blood clots, right? He didn’t admit that the Jab causes blood clots. Weird….

      If not for regular check-ups, I rarely need to see the doctor. Brief chat with some of them reveals “starry eyed dream” to become a “designated doc” for a famous sport team. So much care for a patient before him and “the oath”, since he sees his current position as transient.

    Since I haven’t seen this here today

    “A Black woman in Brooklyn, New York, reveals that she finally decided to go get a COVID-19 vaccine, and felt the Moderna would be the one she wanted.

    So instead of going to get the vaccine in her (Black) neighborhood, where she feared it wasn’t being done right, she decided to go to what she said was a ‘White area” and chose “Columbia” (University or Presbyterian Hospital) and registered on the web site to get the vax.

    She says that in the web registration, it asked for her Race and she selected “White” even though she is black.

    When she got to the appointment to get the vaccine, the nurse went to the computer to verify the information and allegedly told her, “you’re not White, I can’t give you this” and refused to give the vaccine!”

    There is a video of her, telling it, In her own words…………..

      No! We had 8 vaccines! 8 Warp Speed vaccines! Different continents with their own Warp Speeds. China with one for domestic use and another for the rest of Asia.

        The only thing that explains it is that the mRNA technology was in place but untested on humans. Set up the 42000 person test groups for the human testing, get the data submitted and voila

        Emergency certification.

        mRNA is thirty years old in development. Pharma jumped at the opportunity to human test the feasibility of large scale mRNA shots.

    @Mr M

    The guy who accuses others of ad homs on a daily basis.

    I don’t start Wars but I will finish them. I do not ad hom people until they ad hom me first.

    I live in Peace but will reply in kind when attacked.

    The difference, usually, is that I receive many unJust ad homs while I only deploy ad homs that are Truthful.

    OG – I never said that I’d be “standing around with buckets of whey” but you argue in a series of lameass strawmen.

    You said you were going to the store load up on buckets of whey.
    I do not believe you understand what a strawman argument is.
    toktomi merely added the words “standing around”…that is called exaggeration, not a strawman.

    Strawman would be something like if he had said, “Whey protein powder? So you’re saying you support the horrible working conditions in China where that whey powder is packaged?”

    def: “…giving the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a new and often false one.”

    Mr M, I will graciously admit when I am Wrong … but that is not the case here.

    Tiktok did indeed deploy a strawman argument making my suggestion that I could barter scoops protein-rich whey powder from my purchased buckets by his imagining me, out in public, trying to sell my wares like a hot dog vendor with his cart while I never had such a ridiculous plan to begin with.

    He did so to corruptly “Justify” his assertion that I have “seemingly ill-formed opinions.”

    See? He made-up my m.o. in his head and then presented that as my “ill-formed” idea.

    Rather, I imagine bartering with people that I already know for Goods and services that they have and that I need. My idea is far less ridiculous than trying to barter whey powder in the public square “surrounded by starving bug eaters.”

    This was no exaggeration. This was a blatant strawman argument trying to make my plan seem “ill-formed” by his ill-forming it for me like his ridiculous scenario was mine.

    That is a text book strawman argument, Mr M.

    I can’t even imagine how you could possibly consider his strawman argument to be an exaggeration.

    Also, your critique is slightly out of context as Tiktok does regularly present strawmen arguments against me and this was merely the most recent of a hundred thousand examples. [There. That was an exaggeration.]

    Per usual, I don’t wake up each morning to to bust your balls, but you do enough of it that you deserve to be called on it once in a while.

    Agreed. Absolutely. It’d be entertaining and downRight shocking if you ever actually did prove me Wrong someday, Mr M, but it could happen. Keep trying.

    Note: I have been Wrong before. It is rare but it does happen.

    Enjoy your night, my friend!

    Back at ya, Dude!

    (that last statement ^^^ was not a strawman, just to clarify)

    You must feel somewhat foolish now that I “schooled ya” vis-a-vis strawman arguments and exaggerations.

    FYI – I do very much enjoy these arguments and almost Hope for one of you CFNers to actually prove me Wrong someday. That be fun for all of us, methinks.

    Keep trying, Mr M. As I say, unlike some CFNers, I will graciously admit to an error when proven that I have actually made one. I have no delusions of perfection whatsoever. I Just simply love The Truth.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 2, 2021 at 9:00 am #

      Wow, that was one verbose, end-around hail mary of a left turn at Albuquerque twisting of logic in an attempt to make a rebuttal.

      IF he had said you “…could barter scoops protein-rich whey powder from my purchased buckets by his imagining me, out in public, trying to sell my wares like a hot dog vendor with his cart while I never had such a ridiculous plan to begin with”, then you might have a very strained point.

      But he didn’t. He said, “You can begin by describing the scenario where you are standing around with buckets of whey surrounded by starving bug eaters.”

      Nothing about bartering, nothing about selling your wares like a hot dog vendor. Those were your creations. That was your exaggeration.

      Let it go, sir.

      You need to learn how to be even a mild bit wrong sometimes, as you often are (aren’t we all). “…no delusions of perfection…” Err, okay.

        OG: I’m off to Old Fashioned Foods today. I will buy a few massive containers of whey powder for protein. A scoop of that powder will be barter gold for trade with those down to eating grass-hoppers and crickets, imho.

        Tiktok: Musings about barter in a future grid down scenario have been long been a staple of the doomer class. Personally, been that, done there.
        OG, I am not at all interested in your seemingly ill-formed opinions on longer term survival.
        You can begin by describing the scenario where you are standing around with buckets of whey surrounded by starving bug eaters.

        OG: I never mentioned “longer[-]term survival.” You did while being continually so very condescending in your strawman building.

        Mr M: Nothing about bartering, nothing about selling your wares like a hot dog vendor. Those were your creations. That was your exaggeration.

        A fella Just can’t make this shit up.

        Also, it appears that you do not understand the difference between a simile and an exaggeration, Mr M. I wasn’t exaggerating. I was deploying simile to put a familiar context on this ridiculous scenario being foisted upon me and what I said by Tiktok (i.e. a strawman argument).

        —–

        You need to learn how to be even a mild bit wrong sometimes

        I willingly admit and apologize when proven Wrong, Mr M, but that has nothing to do with this discussion.

        As stated, even though I do take accountability when proven Wrong, people get pissed off at me because it is statistically very rare.

        Worse, like above, people keep calling me Wrong and, then when I prove myself Right, they get mad at me, won’t admit that it is actually they are (obviously) Wrong (and after they needlessly jumped in the fray) and then they selfishly protect their little egos with ad homs and “I get last word. Now I’m taking my ball and going home.”

        —–

        The whole problem was Tiktok assuming that I do not understand barter or the logistics of it. The whole problem was Tiktok assuming that I am Just another member of “the doomer class.”

        He then built a strawman to ridicule my “ill-formed” “musings” while he completely overlooks my Econ degree plus doesn’t know that I actually have bartered in the past. The problem was his Bad assumptions.

        That problem then compounded when you brain-farted onto the scene, Mr M.

        Then, once you’ve been proven Wrong, you don’t take accountability. Instead, you tell the man who was Right, attacked and then successfully defended himself to “Let it go, sir” and “Mango out on this topic. Thou shalt not receive another reply if it pertains to this gobbledigook.”

        Do you see the irony? You are Wrong and won’t accept accountability while scolding me for the very thing you are doing!

        Also, FYI – Speaking of yourself in the 3rd person makes you look like an ass. TruStory

        —–

        “…no delusions of perfection…” Err, okay.

        I am the lowest of the low, Mr M. I have committed horrific sin and I repent to God each and every day for His Forgiveness. I do not deserve it but I understand that He is Gracious and Forgiving.

        I have no delusions of perfection notwithstanding you not Believing me, Mr M. TruStory

        I think that you doubt this because because insinuating that I am lying is easier on your psyche than facing The Truth (you got schooled). That’s what I think.

        God bless you, Mr M.

      OG,
      Well, you are certainly righteous in your mind, but some of us might suggest that your actions bely your comment.

      You once called me an “idiot”.

      Now, in your defense, with a IQ (tested) of 154, I can accept your view of me(probably hovering around 120) as an idiot.

      You might search hard an long (another sobriquet I never hear regarding me) to find my use of an ad hominem in reference to ANY personage on the site. You will find nothing.

      I challenge you (metaphorically “a war”) to find any instance of my use of an ad hominem regarding anyone on the site, said in any context other than in obvious jest.

      What will you do?
      WWJD?

      If you can find one, I will apologize, and admit my error.

      If you cannot…I expect you to embrace the label of…APROSTATE.

      • O.G. Hawkins November 2, 2021 at 12:28 pm #

        EF, I do not recall calling you “an idiot” but I do Believe you.

        I do not recall the incident let alone why I lashed out at you like that. I suspect that I was frustrated with someone else and you unJustly bore my brunt.

        I am sorry. That was Wrong of me.

        Further, I was clearly Wrong to state “I do not ad hom people until they ad hom me first” as an absolute. You have proven that. I stand corrected.

        —–

        Thank you. This was the perfect moment for me to put my money where my mouth is.

        I was Wrong to call you “an idiot,” EF. I apologize and will try to do Better.

        I have been keeping a tally on the ramblings and I have a similar take: Off topic, self-indulgent, peppering bizarrely strung-together lyrics, random attacks on various commenters, with ensuing obsessive rants if the person dares to defend themselves. And of course the nonstop Revelations stuff.

          He didn’t really stick up for Trumo anything.
          You see, he’s an admitted opportunist.
          In fact he apologized to the Biden family stating that he only supported Trump to the bare minimum needed to keep a cohort of his constituents at bay.
          He is, clearly, a political swamp thing, bending like the blades and boughs, with the political winds.
          He is still closeted, it’s politically expedient in the Bible Belt.

          The only thing that matters to Lindsey is maintaining his lifestyle of a career politician

      Been reading a great book, “Living Wisely with the Church Fathers” by Christopher A Hall. He has a whole series of Church Fathers books and is obviously a Christian as well.

      Don’t ever believe the one about the Teaching of the Church never changing. The early Church Fathers were absolute pacifists who were never supposed to become soldiers. When soldiers converted, and used their swords as per their duty, they had to do penance for years and avoid taking the Eucharist.

      Everything changed after Constantine’s vision. St Augustine then developed the doctrine of Just War. Maybe another Father did so for the East, not sure. But before the Vision and Augustine, there was a very awkward century or two. A lot of soldiers had converted, and they were being told things like, You can carry your sword but don’t draw it. Or your can draw it but not use it. Now the first law of self defense is never draw a weapon you’re not willing to use. But it’s deeper than that: By not being willing to use their weapon, they were refusing their duty, and thus betraying their commanders their comrades, and the people they were sworn to serve. Lying in other words. Such teachings were utter dreck. Pacifism I can respect and of course the teachings of Just War even more so. But all this stuff in the middle was dishonorable nonsense. A long dark chapter in the history of the Church.

          Well yes and no. The Germans transformed Christianity into a warrior religion with some help from guys like Constantine and Augustine. The Slavs helped in the East. The pacifism was put in its rightful place: for the monastics. As the Muslims say, Christ taught the way to the other world, but Mohammad taught the way in both worlds. The way here is violence, at least on occasion. The threat of it can suffice most of the time.

          But yes, the original teaching remained. And as the Germanic influence weakened, over run by the Renaissance and Modernism, the old Christianity began to assert itself again, helping to abort any new Renaissance such as National Socialism.

            The parent religion of Augustine and Jerome was paganism. Thus you are presented with Hades to represent Hell fire and punishment in the next life instead of accountability in the now.

          • GreenAlba November 2, 2021 at 1:18 pm #

            MD didn’t say Augustine was a pagan. He said he was a pagan before he became a Christian.

            It wasn’t even ambiguous.

            It aligns with my own logic on the matter, not that that means anything, since I know that wishful thinking is a definite thing.

          • Jarek November 2, 2021 at 2:24 pm #

            Protestants always tend to think the Church is pagan – because it doesn’t hate Europe’s past enough. For example, Christ was born in early spring, as Clarice told Hannibal. But the Church knew the power that the rebirth of the Sun has over the European psyche, and thus equated Christ with it by making his birth on the solstice. The All Conquering Sun.

            Some of these groups even changed the wine into grape juice. A miracle of prigishness. The swine!

            St Boniface chopped down the Sacred Tree of the Germans – and as Bishop O’Malley of Boston said, every German priest now has a Christmas Tree in his room. Not just one Tree for everyone, like most places. Nature has her revenge. Or as the Roman put it, you cast nature out, but it will return.

          • GreenAlba November 2, 2021 at 2:34 pm #

            You’re doing it again. Nobody said the Church was pagan.

            All MD said was that Augustine came from a pagan background before he converted to Christianity.

            You are a master of invention.

            But religions do cross-fertilise. The Jews, while exiled in Babylon, came across Zoroastrian ideas on heaven and hell, which they incorporated into their own belief system.

            “Christ was born in early spring,…”

            If He were fulfilling prophecy it would be the Feast of Trumpets.

            “Jupiter was considered to be the Planet of the Messiah. The Hebrew name for Jupiter was sedeq, or “righteousness.” It is often spelled “Zadok.” It is connected to the Order of Melchi-sedec (Heb. 5:10), of which Jesus is the Chief Priest. And so the Messiah was connected to signs in Jupiter, or sedeq.

            The Hebrews considered Jupiter to be the planet associated with and governing Jerusalem, although the Romans considered it to be the planet of Rome. However, the Magi did not go to Rome, but to Jerusalem, as they followed Jupiter westward. Isaiah 1:26 calls Jerusalem “the city of sedeq.” This can be translated either as “the city of righteousness” or as “the city of Jupiter.” The Magi thus followed Jupiter to the city of Jupiter-Jerusalem. In the nearby town of Bethlehem, they found the Messiah, the High Priest of the Order of Melchi-sedec.”

            “If the final conjunction occurred on June 17, then perhaps by the first part of July it would have been apparent that Jupiter was going to continue moving westward, and the Magi would have begun making preparations for the trip. If they left the end of August, they would have arrived toward the end of December. Jesus would have been born on September 29, while they were already on the road.”

            When they arrived He was “wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger”. Not a toddler chasing the critters.

            When I enter the temple
            First the child of whom I beg
            Come live in my heart
            And then then the hopeless recourse one,
            We are all hopeless,
            And then the One with two bright rays who says I AM

            Next, mother of the Virgin
            How.did.you.do.it?

            THEN ST JAMES THE GREATER
            In his field of stars
            Dug up some time later
            A scallops bard, though I did not walk the route
            I have prayed under that altar
            In the ossuary where you sleep
            And been hazed by that great incenser
            Dazed by the scent it keeps
            In the winding cobblstones
            First a song, and then a rose
            And then my failure when I fell
            And then fell further, nearly hell.
            But yeah, (yay),when the car died
            When the holy water could not cool the overheat
            When they taught us spanish dancing while mechanics
            Showed their moons
            In costume dress in some village ne’er before seen nor since
            In a desert valley, north of Spain.
            And I left you that water
            When you flew back to Milan
            When you consecrated the final plan.

            The Christianity cult.
            The mind virus.
            The meme (Dawkins’ viral phenomenon)

            Was always about converting a class of people to a life of subservience, equanimity in misfortune, and present-world nihilism (you have a better future beyond).

            It served to drop ambition, to drop defenses, and renunciation of one’s importance in his present life.
            Beyond the small Levantine cults that first infected the west, the Christian adherents were most exploited by the nobility aligned with the church bureaucracy. I mean, what wolf’s mouth doesn’t water over the prospect of lording over willing sheep?
            Christianity didn’t bring free men.
            It ended then.

    ““We say no more blah blah blah, no more exploitation of people and nature and the planet,” the 18-year-old Thunberg told protesters at a park near the COP26 venue in Glasgow on Monday. “No more exploitation, no more blah blah blah. No more whatever the f**k they’re doing inside there.”

    Well, what a little potty mouth. I suggest her mouth be washed out with soap…fully biodegradable, organic soap, produced from the fat of ruminants raised in the shade by living-wage farmers on sustainable, non-GMO fields of clover…

        Greta is expressing the frustration of her followers to one huge fact.

        The political leaders are doing nothing, making promises that anyone with an ounce of sense knows are impossible to fulfill. Exercising power to thrill themselves but knowing the real world will not change. They are trying to figure out how to force change that will make a difference. So far, that change is unidentified, and impossible to implement as a consequence.

        Changes:

        1. Electrify the world onto renewable sources of energy.

        Laughable! Here is a list.

        Decide on a legitimate source of electricity that does not burn something. Eliminate coal, oil or natural gas. Ask the Germans about this one in January. The idea that the world will be powered by two totally unreliable sources is heading us to catastrophe. We will be switching off AC, heat, lights and all those electric vehicles regularly. Batteries are a joke right now. Imagine what a battery pack would look like for NYC. Besides between EVs and batteries, the rare earths will become an endangered “species”. Like hitching your wagon to a dying horse.

        Convert the world’s transportation fleet to EV. This one is “doable”.
        Al you have to do is triple the electrical generation capacity and come up with a vehicle that goes 500 miles on a charge with the air on, costs $20000, charges in an hour, and uses a new technology of batteries that is not based on rare earths. Then you have to convince all the young mean driving PU trucks that electric is more fun. Uh huh. Another big one is what to do with the trucking industry, the big rigs will never be adaptable to electrification. Can you imagine standing in line at a port for hours in an electric vehicle. Uh huh.

        Plastics, what do we do without plastics. Plastics equals oil. And basic to windmills, solar, and EVs is plastics. The whole world production of just about everything will have to be redesigned without plastic.

        Metals, how to make steel, gold, copper etc, without a FF heat source.

        Agriculture, how to grow enough food to supply the world without machines, fertilizers, insect controls, all based on oil.

        Biofuel, every time I hear this one, I chuckle. Convert the world to biofuel and how long before the world is “bald”. Easter Island on a global scale. You think CO2 is a problem now, burn off the biome.

        Water, how much additional electricity will be required for water distillation, piping, sewage recovery in the future?

          Yup, credibly so but such as been well articulated for at least two decades.

          Time to move on to bigger issues like trying to reverse engineer the motives behind the great machinations [eg lethal injections], characteristics of the end game, and “how can I survive all this longer term?”.

          The political leaders are doing nothing, making promises that anyone with an ounce of sense knows are impossible to fulfill. Exercising power to thrill themselves but knowing the real world will not change. They are trying to figure out how to force change that will make a difference. So far, that change is unidentified, and impossible to implement as a consequence.

          A succinct summary of COP26 – and previous COPs as well.

          Even if many of us accept that GHGs caused by massive burning fossil fuels are “the moral challenge of our time”, and that a temperature rise of 2°is bad for the world – especially its poorest half – the issues remain unresolved.

          It is unresolved because it is irredeemably unresolvable.

          Even if we increase our reliance on nuclear power (not without its problems), spend vast amounts on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and then spend further vast amounts on “green hydrogen” we can’t come close to meeting the energy needs of our current standard of living.

          Despite all sorts of plans and proposals, there aren’t genuine market mechanisms that lead to fossil-fuel reduction – it would take (and already does take) very large government subsidy and investment in green technology.

          And I repeat a previous point – Global Warming isn’t in my view a first-order issue for the planet … it’s on the list but there are a huge range of more urgent and important challenges.

          There are billions of poor people, especially in over-populated, resource-poor, and unhealthy nations. There are even millions of poorly housed, poorly educated, and poorly medically treated people, even in most rich countries.

          We are also trashing the planet in the quest for wealth and consumerism – endangering water, oceans, soils, forests, and thousands of vulnerable species.

      Greta is a big Rock Star in Glasgow, gets a Standing O whenever she appears.

      David Attenborough gave a speech stating we need to end fossil fuel use like yesterday or else we’ll be goners by 2030, a short 8 years from now. Captain Planet remarked Climate Change is the US Militarys most dangerous adversary. To deal with this existential threat I suggest the US Navy throw a blockade around the Continental US and Alaska; the Navy should have no problem stopping any supertankers arriving from the Persian Gulf. The Marine Corps could occupy ports and coastal refineries, say in Houston and Galveston. Oil wells in Texas, California, Oklahoma, Ohio and Pennsylvania could be dealt by the US Army, who also could occupy and shut down coal mines in W Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and Wyoming. If humanity will cease to exist if this isn’t dealt with by all means mobilize the US Armed Forces and get it done. Think of your children and grandchildren. The future depends on it.

            Greta Thunberg is an autistic adolescent who is being exploited by her parents and others.

            I’m sure she is sincere. But she doesn’t understand shit about where energy really comes from, or how economies work.

            She herself has probably never actually worked a day in her life—like, had to get to work on the bus, work 8 hours, and take the bus home again. As an autistic she is probably incapable of doing this, and would have to work in a “sheltered workplace” such as the Morgan Memorial if she were to work at all.

            She looks as though her physical/hormanal development might be somewhat stunted.

            She is probably not able to drive an automobile on her own—whether gas, diesel, or electric. In fact, I’d love to know whether Greta even has a license.

            I expect she is comparable to the Queen of England, in that she doesn’t have to carry money, or a bus ticket, or know how to drive, or manage her own life.

            And we who manage our own lives are supposed to take this weirdo as an avatar of some kind? Take her seriously? Follow her???!!!

            Greta is an odd bird. I agree with Islander, an autistic exploited by her parents. Perhaps some variation of Munchausen by Proxy….the parents get their needs met with all this attention. Greta is like the beauty queen daughter, except that beauty queens are out of favor these days.

            There is something really sick and twisted about the whole thing. We never see the parents either. They manage to stay invisible.

            @ Islander:

            You nailed it. I was about to phrase it a little more harshly–that Greta is a retarded child, cast in the role of a celebrity. And of course she is being exploited by her parents, in collusion with the people pushing the climate doom agenda.

            What puzzles me is why she was selected for pushing this agenda. What kind of idiot picks a retarded child as their spokesperson? And what kind of person would rely on her expertise? And what kind of culture operates on the assumption that elevation to any kind of leadership position or position of influence requires mental deficiency–or at least SOMETHING seriously wrong with you?

      • GreenAlba November 2, 2021 at 2:08 pm #

        There is a time lag of about 30 years or so between adding CO2 to the atmosphere and its manifestation in global warming, so whatever happens 8 years from now is dependent on what we did over 20 years ago. It’s baked in.

        Meanwhile, Boris is wittering enthusiastically about hydrogen cars (with, initially, hydrogen produced from fossil fuels!), without mentioning that the water vapour created by them is the biggest contributor to the greenhouse effect.

          Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
          And build them a home, a little place of their own
          The Fletcher Memorial
          Home for incurable Tyrants and Kings

          And they can appear to themselves every day
          On closed circuit TV
          To make sure they’re still real
          It’s the only connection they feel

          “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Reagan and Haig,
          Mr. Begin and friend, Mrs. Thatcher, and Paisly,”
          “Hello Maggie!”
          “Mr. Brezhnev and party”
          “Scusi dov’è il bar?”
          “The ghost of McCarthy,
          The memories of Nixon”
          “Who’s the bald chap?”
          “Good-bye!”

          “And now, adding colour, a group of anonymous latin-
          American meat-packing glitterati”

          Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?

          They can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles
          And amuse themselves playing games for awhile
          “Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you’re dead”

          Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
          With their favorite toys
          They’ll be good girls and boys
          In the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial
          Wasters of life and limb

          Is everyone in?
          Are you having a nice time?
          “Good!”
          Now the final solution can be applied

          I actually think the small island nations have the best case at COP26 – and the most to lose. I have a friend who works on a low-lying coral atoll in the middle of the Pacific (Kiribati) – sea-level rise is real and quite an issue – possibly an existential one for these places.

            And nowhere did I deny that, ianw. I am one of the few people here who accepts (so far) the overall consensus on AGW.

            However, if you want to believe that the COP26 worthies give a flying f*** about people on coral atolls, you’ll have to explain to me why their private jets are all parked in Glasgow, and not in a scrapyard, while they pursue their efforts by Zoom.

            So, maybe we could put them on an island as near as possible to La Palma, which could compete with them in the production of hot air?

            Granted they might be doing something about it by trying to remove several billion of us within a few years, but one would have more respect for their good intentions if they came right out and told us that, while apologising to us for the inconvenience to our about-to-be-shortened lives.

            I was just making a neat segue from Papillion Island to low coral atolls that are being badly impacted by sea-level rise. I didn’t make any comment or imply anything at all about your position on AGW

            And of course AGW is very real, and of course it results from the CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels. Global Warming denial is an extreme fringe position by any measure.

            The issue of course is what to do about it, without causing economic disasters and a serious decline in standards of living.

            Stop private car ownership, close airports, ban the eating of beef, lamb, and pork? Eliminate plastics?

        • Islander November 2, 2021 at 11:30 pm #

          I have to say i really don’t get the CO2 thing.

          Here is the National Geographic’s definition of Earth’s atmosphere:

          https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/atmosphere/

          “While oxygen is necessary for most life on Earth, the majority of Earth’s atmosphere is not oxygen. Earth’s atmosphere is composed of about 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 0.9 percent argon, and 0.1 percent other gases. ***Trace amounts of carbon dioxide***, methane, water vapor, and neon are some of the other gases that make up the remaining 0.1 percent. ”

          So, CO2 is a “trace” gas. Somehow I don’t think CO2 is driving global warming. Nowadays every storm, every fire, every flood, i reported as being a result of global warming. Where to the reporters get this? They do not know this. No one knows this.

          I am getting mroe and more skeptical of the whole CO2 global warming shtick. At Unherd today a writer stated,

          “Hausfather has a solution for this: attach explicit percentage likelihoods to the different scenarios – say that RCP 4.5 is 45% probable, or RCP 8.5 is 5% probable. They’d be necessarily subjective but at least it would show that no one thinks they’re all equally likely, or that RCP 8.5 is the course we’re already on. Betts agrees.

          ***There’s a risk that climate sceptics will leap on ideas like this, and say that climate scientists have systematically overstated the risk of climate change; Betts says that this already happens.***

          This IMO is the big tell: The main goal is to control the narrative, not conduct genuine scientific inquiry and debate. Don’t provide scientific information of analysis if you can’t control the narrative, and if someone could use it to support other hypotheses.

          https://unherd.com/2021/11/the-great-climate-change-fallacy/?

          Some comments at that thread are interesting.

          • ianw November 3, 2021 at 3:47 pm #

            So, CO2 is a “trace” gas. Somehow I don’t think CO2 is driving global warming.

            Traces of anything (even in seemingly minute amounts) can still have a profound influence on the characteristics of a compound.

            CO2 (along with increased methane and water vapour) have a powerful effect in the atmosphere – they inhibit infra-red energy bouncing back into space, and you don’t have to change the rate of escape very much, in order to heat the atmosphere and the oceans – Global Warming.

            Just stroll into a greenhouse/glasshouse on a sunny winter’s day – it’s much warmer inside, and the warmth is there by the same effect. Solar energy (at higher frequency) can pass through the glass easily, but long-wavelength energy can’t escape at the same rate. So the air inside the greenhouse gradually heats up.

          • Islander November 4, 2021 at 11:11 pm #

            ianw,

            Water vapor creates clouds, right?

            And clouds cool?

            And plants use CO2?

            I understand what a greenhouse is!
            I also understand passive solar.
            In the good old days houses were sited facing south. Not a new idea.
            Even before glass windows.
            But CO2 is not a piece of glass.

            I am not in favor of pollution. But is CO2 and pollution of the air the same thing?
            It does seem that actual data sets do not match with the models that “global warming/climate change” have predicted.
            We have seen the danger of “models” in the covid op.

            I certianly am open to hearing the arguments of the “climate skeptics” when i see how much crazy shite is going down in the name of “saving planet earth” from climate change. Including massive disruption of ecosystems to create renewable energy power plants that are not “green,” so that humans don’t have to be inconvenienced and change their way of life, while virtue signaling.

    from the wiki, Samuel Gompers

    Gompers, like most labor leaders, opposed unrestricted immigration from Europe because of the fear that it might lower wages of domestic union workers. He strongly opposed all immigration from Asia because it lowered wages and, in his judgement, represented an alien culture that could not be assimilated easily into that of the U.S.[21] Gompers bragged that the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (FOTLU), later renamed the American Federation of Labor (AFL), “was the first national organization which demanded the exclusion of coolies from the United States”.[22] He and the AFL strongly supported the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 that banned the immigration of Chinese, and published a pamphlet entitled “Some reasons for Chinese exclusion. Meat vs. Rice. American Manhood against Asiatic Coolieism. Which shall survive?” in 1901.[23] The AFL was instrumental in passing immigration restriction laws from the 1890s to the 1920s, such as the 1921 Emergency Quota Act and the Immigration Act of 1924 signed into law by President Calvin Coolidge. At least one study concludes that the link between the AFL and the Democratic Party rested in large part on immigration issues, as the owners of large corporations wanted more immigration and thus, supported the Republican Party.[24] Other scholars have seriously questioned this conclusion, arguing it oversimplifies the politics and unity of labor leaders and the major parties. As one reviewer argued in The Journal of American History, major Republican leaders, such as President William McKinley and Senator Mark Hanna, made pro-labor statements, many unions supported their own independent labor parties (or the Socialist Party), and unity within the AFL was never so extensive as claimed.[25]

    Jarek: “Meat vs Rice. American Manhood against Asiatic Coolieism. Which shall survive?”.

    It’s that simple, isn’t it? Great minds can reduce equations to their most fundamental or radical terms. If only we had followed men like Gompers and not the Marxist Communists. And if only the Tribe had been inspired by men like him, and not Marx and his followers.

          Man has evolved being compliant. Those that “toe the line” survive and even prosper under mankind’s “normal” governing style: Tyranny

          For the vast majority of the 200,000 years of survival and struggle by Homo sapiens, success has depended on cooperation, with tribes or groups based on equality and “democratic” decision-making.

          It’s only in the last blink of an eyelid – say 5,000 years – that crop-based civilisations have developed where powerful hierarchies have emerged – from Sumeria to Egypt to the Incas.

          Man has not evolved in the last 5,000 years – it takes longer than that. What have emerged are settled civilisations, warfare, and tough politics.

            Yes, this particular model of “civilization” is quite recent in the context of human life on earth, as you noted, about 5,000 years. Looking at it that way offers considerable reason to be hopeful that this is a passing phase.

    The never understood the story, as told by Nicole Foss [Stoneleigh], of an inevitable deflationary era.

    But a lady of limited lifetime exposure to information about energy, population, and economic dynamics of industrial human society, just yesterday, made an off-the-cuff-remark to the effect that “they” will be taking away our Social Security [and, by the way, retirement income and unemployment subsidies as well, y’all].

    Don’t know why but her statement struck a cord, and I got to thinkin’.

    Oversimplisticallly, nobody’s gonna have any money. Demand will tank. And prices will follow. Deflation, perhaps, the last machination of a controlled demolition.

    You can tell a lot by observing not just what is happening, but also by what isn’t happening.

    If it’s not obvious, what’s not happening right now is a continuation of the high level of concern/excitement about covid, Vax, digital passes, election, etc. Overall, sentiment appears to have calmed down a bit.

    OK, why do we suppose this is occurring? Lack of concern, disinterest in current events, something else? My guess is that 10s of millions are progressing to the acceptance stage. Acceptance of the status quo? Hardly, even though that would be the stuff of dreams for our dear leaders.

    No, I think that some significant number of citizens have rightfully concluded that, as Jefferson wrote, people will suffer while evil is sufferable. And when it no longer is? That’s right, it’s your turn to man the front lines.

    So, as the collective longing to just be left alone slowly transforms to resignation that it’s now their responsibility to thwart the new normal, then its time to stop complaining and tighten the seatbelts.

            Also J, I’m gonna use this spot to talk about the commandment against graven images. When I was young, I couldn’t believe that the church was clearly violating that commandment, so I asked a catholic but not a priest.i believe what he said now, but I was suspicious then. He said that commandment pertained to idols generally and the golden calf specifically. Whatever we worship is an idol, whether that be the fruit of capital markets
            Or a fruit cup.
            If the commandment was literally true, and observed, all art would be essentially Islamic art, fractals and designs, calligraphy but no imagery. Imagine a world without pictoral, renditional or illustrative art. I can’t.

        • Anthea November 4, 2021 at 1:27 am #

          @ anmariwakaranai:

          Representational art is a work of devotion or adoration of the handiwork of the Creator. I have quite a few pictures on my walls. They are pictures of the things I love most. If I were a painter, I would paint pictures of the things I love most. There is no idolatry in this; it is a form of worship of the Creator. God is, among other things, sublime beauty, which is present in all things.

      @OG

      Apparently, your friend was blessed with a gift of ORGANIC meat.
      Otherwise, “nutrious”, arguably, is a bit of an overstatement. Poisonous might be a more appropos descriptor. The cocktail of industrial poisons that are poured into and literally on meat animals is truly horrific – to be avoided by the “struggling” at any cost.

        Yes, you are, of course, correct. Today’s meat is not what it used to be. Antibiotics, growth hormones, industrial raising in pens, industrial slaughter & process. It is more nutrious than no meat but no comparison to organic.

        To be clear: My friend is a man down in his luck while the incredibly generous stranger helping him out is a woman.

    In Tik-Tok of Oz, the stalwart mechanical man goes to war when he is pressed into service as the only private in Ann Soforth’s army. This restless Queen of the Oogaboos has set out to conquer Oz and the world beyond, but alters her plans to help the Shaggy Man rescue his brother from imprisonment by the Nome King. Joining this adventurous band in their quest is Betsy Bobbin, a young girl from Oklahoma, and her mule, Hank. Along with other magical fairies from the lands of Oz, they confront the Nome King; but not before this wiley creature has sent them through the earth to the other side into the mystical kingdom of the Private Citizen. This trick proves to be Ruggedo’s downfall when the Private Citizen dispatches his Instrument of Vengence to remove the Nome King from his throne. In the end this great adventure concludes happily as the Oogabooians return safely home and Betsy, Hank, and the Shaggy Man and his newly freed brother are accepted by Ozma as permanent citizens of the Emerald City.

          Jar,

          All creatures are “racist”.

          That is, I would venture, the nature of the beast.

          That historical genetic predisposition manifests itself in the human creature within the emotional centers of the brain from which most behavior is propagated.

          Fortunately, some among the species have evolved enough to intervene intellectually to the extent that the consequent behaviors are modified to be in greater harmony with the social complexities and demands of an advancec industrial society.

          The behavior of others remain rooted in more primitive areas of the brain.

          This is merely another one of my internally generated stories. I could be wrong. But ya gotta admit, it makes for a very credible and elegant explanation for an otherwise blathered-on-about subject.

    “Do you suppose the capital markets will keep rising as all this spins out? I would suppose that the capital markets will lose 80 to 90 percent of their value when all is said and done.” – JHK

    ============

    The above is a quote from yesterday’s essay.

    Let’s quantify Jim’s supposition/prediction: Let’s split the difference on those percentages and call it 85%. And let’s use the 3 major market averages as stand-ins for “the capital markets.” As of the Friday Oct 29 close, and rounding to the nearest full point, those indexes stood at:

    S&P500……………………. 4,605.
    DJIA (aka the DOW)…. 35,820.
    Nasdaq…………………… 15,498.

    At some future unspecified time Jim is predicting a decline to:

    S&P500…………………….. 691.
    DJIA (aka the DOW)…. 5,373.
    Nasdaq…………………… 2,325.

    Jim has not totally given up on those DOW 4,000 predictions of yesteryear. If he’s right I will no longer be comfortably well off.

      We have just 20% of our retirement funds in the stock market – we use cash, fixed interest, and some property. It makes enough to just keep its head above inflation and pay an adequate income.

      If it all goes bluey, our digital wealth take something of a haircut, but at least we aren’t heading for the soup kitchen … life goes on. Mind you, if the stock market lost 80% of its value, who knows what that life might look like?

          LOL. It would be very surprising if it weren’t … I’ve lived and worked and saved my entire life within Western industrial society – as has just about every other person who comments here.

          I think things will get pretty ordinary for many people, when the oil and gas really gets scarce, and only millionaires and governments will be able to afford it. But it’s a fair way off I think … many decades indeed … certainly well after I and most others have shuffled off.

          I have some sneaking admiration for the preppers – who devote their lives to surviving on their own – but I don’t share their doomer perspective, and they must get terribly disappointed when the apocalypse doesn’t happen in their lifetime.

          I’ve read a lot of JHK – probably more than your good self – but so what? It doesn’t change my material reality, how I manage my wealth and sustenance and happiness.

          We are frugal, conservative in lifestyle, recycle our trash, and are nice to the neighbours. And don’t have too many big thoughts or worry too much about the future. Can’t ask for more than that.

      • Anthea November 4, 2021 at 8:12 am #

        So you’re saying you desire the respect of savages and morons? Their criticims of Western whites is purely opportunistic, seemingly in keeping with their culture and character, arising from a desire to steal the material fruits (and, in Europe, the territorial base) of Western Civilization without contributing to it. They are mere invaders who are out for loot, who have learned they can get “tribute” through pretended injury.

        This like every other war. This sort of pretended justification for hostilities is an integral part of all wars, a variation of the “God is on our side” meme. It’s main use is to motivate your armies and your people to fight. This is normally countered by similar claims by the opposing side for the similar customary reasons. The reason you are not seeing these kinds of counter-claims from the governments of white Christian nations is because they have thrown in their lot with the enemy. They desire their nations’ defeat.

      ” This is the trash we invited into the West ”

      Being Catholic ,

      you must know that the Church signed up for the whole Covid Show from day one.

      And while other churches have , at least informally , arrived at the conclusion that this is bullshit ; Whatever the efficacy of masks , social – distancing , and Jabs may , or may not be , if we are going to do this , then we might as well not do this , and just shut our doors and shut down completely for the duration.

      ( ” the duration ” — assuming we are ever given a date , except we never are , and you can bet we will never be given a date. )

      The Church , though , is still towing the line on the Covid show 100%.

      Now for the ant hill become Mount Everest Pedo – thing ;

      Pretty much any job in the Catholic Church now requires a background check.

      This includes strictly volunteer , unpaid , jobs where you are digging into your own pocket to do the work.

      To be a Grand Knight in the Knights of Columbus , for example , requires a background check.

      The Knights of Columbus is an all – adult male fraternal organization.

      A Grand Knight might have something to do with children once in a blue moon , for five minutes.

      A parish secretary , a paid position , though hardly paid a fortune , requires a background check.

      Realistically , how often does a 5 year old , a ten year old , or a 15 year old interact with a Parrish secretary anyway ?

      The Priesthood has been chronically short – staffed since forever , so one of the petty annoyances of the Church is that if you want some face – time with a Priest you are typically competing with ten , twenty , or fifty other people at any given moment ,

      and so you are lucky if you get five minutes of their undivided attention.

      Where , when , or how they get the time to molest kids I can’t fathom.

      But the irony of ironies is that no one talks more trash about pedos than the Church.

      So how does inviting this trash , who hate your guts , into this country make any sense?

      I suppose it makes about as much sense as constantly talking shit about people who have done everything but suck your dick.

      ( I must add that I don’t believe for one second that any of these critics would start going to Mass even if we handed out ( legal age ) free pussy.

      But those are the people the Church sucks up to. )

      My theory is that Americans don’t really have friends , or enemies either , anymore .

      It’s all about money.

    “I had been asked to sign a pledge for Israel when I first became a candidate for Congress and after refusing to do so my congressional career became trench warfare, hand to hand combat just to remain in the congress.

    Ever since my refusal to sign that pledge for Israel the pro-Israel lobby let me know that my political net was in the hangman’s noose it was the pro-Israel lobby they decided to tighten that noose.”

    I read that the English court system in the 17th Century didn’t allow the admission of confessions extracted via torture, so there were significantly less Witch executions in England than in Continental Europe. Also, the English would hang Witches rather than burn them.

    Update on the Baldwin shooting of his cinematographer:

    “Schaefer wrote, “something was shot from a prop gun” on the section of the medic’s report that asked for a “detailed cause” of the incident.

    The tragic shooting came after Baldwin was inadvertently given a real loaded gun by assistant director David Halls, according to a search warrant obtained by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office. The weapon was supposed to have blanks in it.

    Halls, rookie movie-set armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed and Baldwin were all known to have handled the weapon before the fatal shooting, according to the warrant.

    According to the warrants, Baldwin was rehearsing a scene where he was due to pull the gun while sitting in a church pew and point the weapon at the camera.

    Halls gave the weapon to the actor and yelled “Cold gun,” meaning it was safe to use in the scene.”

    https://nypost.com/2021/10/25/new-details-in-alec-baldwin-fatal-movie-set-shooting/

    Shows how people should never jump to conclusions and accuse people before the evidence is in.

    • gustafson.robert.22 November 2, 2021 at 11:01 pm #

      • MaryQueen November 3, 2021 at 12:51 am #

        Well it seems to go through many people. And ultimately, the person who shoots the weapon. So, a lot of responsibilty fails all around

        • gustafson.robert.22 November 3, 2021 at 2:27 am #

          seems like the only way she’s not directly responsible would be if someone deliberately put live ammo in the gun after she verified the blank loads

          in other words, foul play

          • gustafson.robert.22 November 3, 2021 at 2:31 am #

            or someone adding live ammo by mistake…but no one should be messing w ammo but the armorer…. so that would be whoever added ammos fuck up i guess. that just seems less likely to me, someone else adfing live rounds by mistake.

          Yes, thus the importance of the position of armorer – some one who can be trusted by all the others. This one was irresponsible and/or incompetent.

    New Jersey is a very blue state so Gov Phil Murphy was supposed to be a shoo-in for a second term but I just checked the standings and the Republican, Jack Ciattarelli is ahead by a narrow margin.

    The only reason I bothered to check was to see the impact of the very funny ad being run by the republicans relentlessly over the past several days. In this ad you see Gov Murphy speaking and he says “If your issue is high taxes whether for the individual or business then we’re probably not your state.”

    And then the ad repeats again the killer line “we’re probably not your state.”

    Unless the creator of the ad somehow spliced together two lines which were not actually spoken together I would have to say that Murphy made a truly bonehead mistake.

    Barnhardt on the disaster of the female suffrage

    Mr Cowbama and I were talking about the evil of government regulation and how it almost always does far more harm than good when Mr. Cowbama thought he had me in a check-mate. He smugly said, “So you think the 19th amendment should be repealed, then? You think giving women the right to vote was a bad thing?”

    Quoth I in retort,

    “Oh, HELL yes.”

    Mr. Cowbama wasn’t expecting that!

    Will it ever happen? Nope. But it sure is fun to dream. Do you know when things really started to go – literally – to hell in this country? When women were given the right to vote seperate and apart from their husbands. What a disaster. This is when the war against marriage and the family began in earnest – and it has taken less than 100 years for both institutions to be almost completely destroyed. And it all started with the damn suffrage.

    Here’s the deal. Up until women’s suffrage, a man was the head of his marriage and his household, and his vote represented not just himself but his entire family, including his wife and his children. When men voted, they were conscious of the fact that they were voting not just for themselves and their own personal interests, but they were also charged with the responsibility of discerning and making the ultimate decision about what was in the best interests of their entire family. Wow. Isn’t that nuts? Men being . . . responsible?

    As soon as the 19th amendment was passed, men were effectively castrated, and in many, many cases disenfranchised by their wives. No longer was the man the head of the household. No longer was he responsible for his wife. Now the wife was a “co-husband” at best, or a flat-out adversary at worst. The notion of a man making the final decision about what was best for his wife and family per his God-given vocation as husband and father was now over. Now all he was good for was bringing home the bacon – but even that wouldn’t last.

    Women are made with a healthy, innate desire to be provided for and protected. I know this because I am a woman, despite the pair of enormous brass balls I have to carry around. Those are merely an anomaly. Please ignore them, and no, you may not touch them. I just polished them last night. Back to the point, women want someone or someTHING to take care of them. For this reason, women tend to lean socialist, and are generally in favor of the expansion of government when the government promises to “provide” for them.

    If you have read me for any length of time you could probably write this next paragraph yourself. Satan has used this healthy feminine dynamic, perverted by suffrage, to systematically replace men with the government as the providers in society. A woman no longer has any need of a man. Marriage no longer serves any practical purpose. A woman can whore around and have as many fatherless children as she pleases, and Pimp Daddy Government will always be there to provide. Men have learned well from this, too. Men can also slut it up to their heart’s content knowing that the government will take care of their “women” and raise their children for them. Fathering children no longer binds a man to a woman in any way. Men didn’t vote to societally castrate themselves, and never would have. No – in order for this system to have come about, women’s suffrage was an absolute necessity. Women themselves voted the system into place which objectifies and devalues both them AND their children.

    Next, the issue of disenfranchisement. I believe that the 19th amendment actually DISenfranchised more people than it enfranchised. Many, many married couples quickly found themselves voting against one another. The man would tend to vote for the more conservative platform, and the woman would vote for the more socialist platform. When this happened, the effective result was the nullification of BOTH individuals’ votes. What this did was massively reduce the voting influence of the married household, and magnify the voting influence of the unmarried – and the unmarried tend to be younger, and thus more stupid, and thus vote for big government. It was all part of the plan, kids. All part of the plan.

    Those dishes aren’t going to wash themselves, Girls.
    Those dishes aren’t going to wash themselves, Girls.

    I’ve probably ticked even one or two of you conservatives off with this post. Here is the question I would ask you: Why? Why are you ticked off? If you’re a woman, the reason you are ticked off is because you put yourself and your desire to assert your will above the well-being of society in general. I don’t feel that way. I would give up my vote in a HEARTBEAT if it meant that right-ordered marriage, family and sexuality was restored to our culture. I would rather that little girls today grow up in a world where they did not have the so-called “right” (voting is NOT a right) to vote, but was treated with dignity and respect, was addressed as “ma’am”, had doors held for her, and wherein men stood up when she entered the room. I would rather she be courted properly and then marry a man who would never, ever leave her, and would consider it his sacred duty and honor to protect and provide for her and their children because he LOVED them. Oh, HELL yes. I’ll give up my vote in exchange for that any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Why wouldn’t you?

    For you men who don’t like my position, you’re just a slave to political correctness. It’s the same thing as the rap music. No one will criticize rap music because it is forbidden by the P.C. culture to criticize a non-white cultural phenomenon. To do so is “bigoted”. It’s the same with this. The P.C. culture has convinced you that if you criticize anything that has to do with women or the feminine culture that you must be a Taliban. Don’t fall for that garbage. That manipulation is why fifty million babies have been murdered in this country over the last 38 years. Men knew that abortion was murder, but they punted on it and eventually legalized it because they didn’t want to be accused of being “misogynistic”. Cowards.

    So there you go. Print it, save it, PDF it. Because I acknowledge the objective reality and massively disordered consequences of female suffrage, am able to see beyond my own immediate self-interests on the matter, and have the stones to say it all publicly, I am permanently disqualified from . . . pretty much everything outside self-employment.

    What a world.

    Jarek: Nice piece. She gets it all in there. It bring out the worst in both sexes.

      Well, feminists don’t mind the Taliban one bit, as seen in their response to the Islamic cultural ‘peculiarity’ of enforced clitoridectomies, that response being crickets.

      They’d rather rail against the much more important issue of the ‘male gaze’.

          Women have always longed to be free of male oppression. You appear to be a total wanker. Have you ever had sex with a woman who welcomed it, and wanted you? I doubt it. Sad.

          • Jarek November 3, 2021 at 12:01 pm #

            Yeah, the women want to be like men and the men try feminize themselves to please them. The result? In most liberal couples the wife is more masculine than the husband. Success? In terms of the twisted agenda, yes. Utter human failure in other words.

            Next stop? The lovely groves of Lesbos. Why not if the men are just second class women?

      Wow, what a piece of illogical nonsense. She sets up a series of strawmen and then knocks them out of the park!
      Women voting castrates men? I’m sorry, but there needs to be more steps given when making that assertion. You can’t even say correlation is not causation, since the only men castrated in this country did it to themselves, and it started long after female suffrage.
      She would give up the vote if it meant that men would then become loving providers of women and children and opened doors, to boot?
      Sure, that would totally follow. Who could imagine anything different happening?
      I have always voted, but I never will again, and it has nothing to do with my giant brass balls (and why would a traditional woman claim to have balls anyway?).
      I will never again vote because they have proven that they steal elections. They do it openly and brazenly and now they are trying to make honest elections and counting the votes considered “undemocratic” and protesting rigged elections considered “sedition”.
      They can all go to hell, imo, all of them, men and women, I don’t care. If they support the establishment I don’t like them. I don’t discriminate. They all can go suck rocks.

          You don’t seem to realize that it was not women who decided to dump their kids in daycare and go out to earn 57cents on the dollar back in the 70s.
          That was a ruling class agenda. Pro tip: if all the media is pushing an agenda, then you know that it is backed by the ruling class, just like the trans agenda.

      • Anthea November 4, 2021 at 9:24 am #

        I am generally a fan of Ann Barnhardt, but I think she’s weaving a fantasy here. To tell you the truth, I have rarely voted–I think only a couple of times in my life, most recently for Trump, and the time before that, for Trump. There was one other time, way back in the midterms right after the start of the Iraq War. Big voter turn-out that year, of people like me who wanted it stopped. (Didn’t work.)

        Obviously, I am not deeply attached to my right to vote. Must be the Amish in me.

        I think Barnhardt is mistaken in thinking that women’s sufferage was the prime mover for our descent into socialism. Admittedly, it probably had something to do with it, but feminism is only one of many tools in the Communist toolbox.

        You can be a feminist without going in for many of the tenets of modern feminism. You can be a feminist and be anti-abortion. (Why should women undergo such a procedure so that men can shirk their responsibilities? And I suspect that many, and possibly even most abortions are at the instigation of “baby daddies.”) I am also not much in favor of birth control. (Why should women be ingesting or otherwise subjecting themselves to damaging pharmaceuticals so they can be sexually available to men?) In general, I would maintain that the only people who were liberated by “women’s liberation were men: they were liberated from all social, sexual, and financial responsibility. Of course the consequence of abrogating all responsibility is that you become an inconsequential person–a no-account.

        I certainly do embrace Barnhardt’s vision of a society in which women are provided for, protected, and loved–as opposed to our present society, in which they must assume both the male and female role and spend their lives wrestling alligators on the one hand and nurturing children on the other. Or, alternatively, be essentially beggars on welfare. And men are in favor of welfare. One of my male co-workers who had to pay child-support once remarked, “What’s wrong with welfare? Welfare works.” Sure. I guess being beggars is good enough for YOUR kids.

        The problem with Barnhardt’s vision is that she imagines a world that never existed. There have been times in the past when the culture (theoretically) viewed women as she describes, but this was not the way they were generally treated, as a practical reality.

        • Jarek November 4, 2021 at 12:53 pm #

          Women of the upper classes have put on a pedestal for centuries now. With the growth of the middle class, that worked its way downwards. But mark! It wasn’t a blank check. Women had to live up to those ideals projected upon them. With the advent of feminism, all that devotion just because entitlement, a stick with which women used to beat men over the head.

          We have to go back to the way it was. That means Patriarchy. You wouldn’t like it. Only one or two of the ladies here would. The Israelites had to wander in Sinai until the generation corrupted in Egypt were gone.

          Of course many modern women want masculine devotion – they just don’t want to return it, thus they are not worthy of it. As one hip neo-traditionalist Priest told the ladies in the audience, you don’t even have to love him, just respect and obey. In contrast, he has to love you like Christ loved the Church – unto death. It’s a good deal ladies.

    You mentioned Boris and the hydrogen cars.

    Every time I hear about hydrogen anything, pictures of the Hindenburg flash through my mind.

    Hydrogen comes from splitting water with electrolysis, hmm is that more electrical power?

    The lousy job that people maintain their cars now could be catastrophic with many fatal results.

    When hydrogen is burned, water is formed. How to keep water from rotting out the guts of a car?

    How many hydrogen stations on every street corner will blow up?

    The real outcome of Glasgow should be, we have no real answers and we better figure out how to adjust to a new world configuration.

      I referred to the few people in the thread (in fact specifically to messianicdruid) because your response was specifically to messianicdruid:and your accusation addressed to him:

      “Ah, a Protestant of the Know-Nothing party. Augustine was one of the greatest Christian minds yet you call him a pagan? ”

      I gave you sufficient credit for reading comprehension ability not to think it necessary to clarify that ‘nobody’, in this case referred to messianicdruid, whom you were trying to discredit by putting words in his mouth (what, moi, Jarek?!).

      My fulsome apologies for over-estimating your reading comprehension abilities.

            I don’t say Protestants aren’t Christian. Just that they aren’t the same as the Ur-Church, the Full Christianity of the Churches founded by the Apostles or their disciples.

            I hope to meet Lewis in heaven. Some say he appeared to them after his death. He may have been a saint or approaching sanctity at least.

            Surely you don’t believe that chintzy store front churches are as good as the Catholic Church? Of course some of them may be holy in spite of the poverty of their doctrines. And of course some of the individuals within them as well.

            Tolkien was saddened that Lewis never made a full conversion. He expected him to keep going, but alas he settled on the Protestant Church of his youth.

            “Surely you don’t believe that chintzy store front churches are as good as the Catholic Church?”

            I believe that any church is as Christian as the people who compose it. Whether the congregation meets in an architectural wonder or in someone’s living room.

            Why in the world would I think the Catholic Church was ‘better’? What a bizarre idea.

            We know they teach you that, but they would, wouldn’t they?

            I’ve been to quite a few Protestant churches. They are highly variable. Some of them are kind of like country clubs or particular social classes or interest groups. Many years ago I had a friend who, along with her husband, was shopping for a church. After sampling several Protestant churches, she remarked, “If I’m going to join a country club, it’s for damn sure going to have a swimming pool.”

            A lot of Protestant churches today are pretty much leftist NGOs. A lot of black churches exist primarily to get out the vote on pet issues.

            There are still a lot of Protestant churches that are sincerely religious in their basis. Their main problem is they operate in a cultural drought. Instead of liturgical music, they sing camp songs. There is no religious art. They eat crackers and drink grape juice instead of the body and blood. And a church without the Real Presence is, to a Catholic, a barren place–a mere building with pews in it.

            The Protestant work ethic, idealism and original thinking allowed your great republic to be born.

            Soon they will know the real presence A, very very soon.
            Some already do! And how many Catholics feel it?
            Not many.

            “I’ve been to quite a few Protestant churches.”

            I haven’t been to any American churches, so I couldn’t possibly comment. 🙂

            “Their main problem is they operate in a cultural drought. Instead of liturgical music, they sing camp songs. There is no religious art. ”

            It is sounding to me that this is your problem with them, rather than their problem!

            Different strokes for different folks … I’m not into ‘camp songs’ either. They sound like Sunday School to me. But I always had favourites among the mostly Victorian hymns.

            The original church didn’t sing at all, and had no liturgy. Did they lack The Real Presence? I’d have to leave that one with you.

            Although I don’t like the ‘shopping’ approach to churches, it’s obvious that different things suit different people. I’m not convinced, though, that spiritual snobbery is the right way to go.

            I don’t know where I’ll end up going this time around – I can see good and bad in all of them. And probably vaccine shedding in all of them too!

            BTW, the day that I had my only religious experience (I spent 20 years wondering if was that or just a neurological experience) I wasn’t in a church at all, and I certainly wasn’t surrounded by religious art or cultural Christianity.

            I was in my bedroom, with a broken heart. So maybe He doesn’t give that much of a stuff about the interior decor or the surround sound. 🙂

            I would add (without it being a criticism) that I’ve been to a number of old European RC churches – not during a service – where the sensory overload could knock you down!

            In Norfolk, where my late brother’s family live, there are dozens of little 13th century village churches that are a delight to pass some time in, and where the aesthetic ambiance is ‘quieter’ than in some of the more garish old churches in continental Europe.

            I did like the clerics swinging that massive incense thingy in Santiago de Compostela, though. Now that was impressive bells and smells.

            @ anmariwakaranai:

            Your mention of the Protestant work ethic is noteworthy. Nock once mentioned that the work ethic was the “true inwardness” of Protestantism, that is, that its central idea in the formation of character was, “to keep him laboring at that station in life unto which God has placed him.” The idea of salvation by works is also prominent, along with the idea that worldly success is proof of election.

            While I would say that a strong work ethic is a good thing, I’m not sure its a basis for religion–or that it even is relligion.

            One of my old Baptist friends–and I do mean old, as she is 72–is a workhorse to the point of being a Clydsdale among women–all engines full-throttle, all the time. Her birthday is the Feast of the Assumption, and I once told her that she seemed to be intent on getting to heaven under her own power–and thus upstaging the angels who were supposed to carry her there. (She is a Leo, and they would upstage the angels if they could.) You can often get a lot of insight into the “inwardness” of some people if you know what feast day their birthday falls on–kind of their “mission” in life. They will either be a dead ringer for it or making an almost incredible disaster of it–kind of in absolute rebellion against it, in the latter case. I would tell stories about this, but I would have to go on and on.

            But, getting back to the subject, I don’t think it is generally true that Catholic work less hard or have contributed less in the way of idealism and original thinking. Certainly they were not prominent in the birth of our republic, since there were few of them in America at that time.

            As for who does and does not know the Real Presence–who knows? Rightly or wrongly, one does have the impression that Protestants are often trying to attain salvation by “words alone”–by repeating some formula about “acccepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior,” without any substance to it.

            @ Green Alba:

            I feel that the Protestant “cultural drought” thing is a serious issue. Art and beauty are temporal expressions of the Divine, and essential to culture–which it is the mission of the churches to build and refine. Their absence denotes blunted sensibilities, even blunted spiritual sensibilities. To be unable to tell the difference between horseshit and a Ming vase, or between music and the sound of a road grader is not a very good omen in terms of a person’s character development or social and spiritual sensibilities. A church that doesn’t do the work of elevating and refining people along these lines is failing in an important mission.

            What is the culture that Protestantism promotes? Certanly a sense of community, but little in the way of spiritual aspiration–which is very prominent in Catholicsim, as with the prayer of St. Francis:

            Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
            where there is hatred, let me sow love;
            where there is injury, pardon;
            where there is doubt, faith;
            where there is despair, hope;
            where there is darkness, light;
            where there is sadness, joy.

            O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
            to be consoled as to console,
            to be understood as to understand,
            to be loved as to love.
            For it is in giving that we receive,
            it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
            and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

            Or, as with the Angelus:

            V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
            R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
            Hail Mary, full of grace,
            The Lord is with Thee;
            Blessed art thou among women,
            And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
            Holy Mary, Mother of God,
            Pray for us sinners,
            Now and at the hour of our death. Amen
            V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
            R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.
            Hail Mary, etc.
            V. And the Word was made Flesh.
            R. And dwelt among us.
            Hail Mary, etc.
            V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
            R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
            LET US PRAY
            Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection.

            These are very profound prayers of spiritual aspiration. (I am told that the painting, The Angelus, used to hang in nearly every old farmhouse–probably until they found out is was a Catholic painting.

            There are doubtless very old Protestant churches in Europe that have achieved inspirational beauty along more “wabi sabi” lines. Maybe there are some such in America, though I haven’t seeen any. But it would seem to be wabi sabi without cultural and inspirational roots.

            “Rightly or wrongly, one does have the impression that Protestants are often trying to attain salvation by “words alone”–by repeating some formula about “acccepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior,” without any substance to it.”

            ‘One’ should be wary of assuming ‘one’ knows about the substance of someone else’s religious life. FWIW Protestants spin similar tales about Catholics, famously surmising that they can go to confession, spin some spin, then go and do the same thing again for which they just gained absolution. Recycling their repentance by rote, as it were.

            Again, in your post to me, all I’m seeing is spiritual snobbery, sorry. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it expressed so strongly.

            How the heck would you know about people’s aesthetic distinctions on the basis of their simpler preferences in a place of worship? Unbelievable really.

            That you don’t know how popular the sung version of St Francis’ prayer is in churches everywhere gave me a good laugh.

            I feel you need a period of conscious humility. 🙂

          • GreenAlba November 5, 2021 at 1:00 pm #

            PS when He popped by my bedroom to tell me that ‘All shall be well; and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well’, (I’m paraphrasing from a ‘feeling’), I forgot to ask if he minded the generally 70s aesthetic of my bedroom furniture. Where I am now is generally Victorian, but I don’t imagine he’s impressed by the difference.

            And He didn’t seem to mind me not being a Catholic either.

            Really, you are very, very presumptuous, ma’am!

            i can’t imagine having such a dire need to feel superior. 🙂

    @ Sean Coleman

    Joseph Mengele ;

    I think there was a concerted and deliberate effort to exterminate Jews.

    But then I have pointed out that Jews were only 2% of Europe’s population , and a minority that wasn’t particularly , generally , liked.

    Rather like , for example , Transsexuals — at least up until yesterday .

    And like transsexuals , now , for some Byzantine reason , it is de riguer to kiss their asses.

    Even if you have never even seen a Jew or a Transsexual , and simply wouldn’t KNOW enough about either to say whether you liked them or disliked them.

    Anyway , the upshot of that , it seems to me , is that as far as genocides go , it wasn’t a particularly notable or impressive genocide.

    For example — well , no , the public health campaign ( the purging of Jewry from Europe was often described as a public health campaign ) that goes by the name of The War on Drugs isn’t exterminating people. —

    — but I am often given to think there are few worse tortures than imposed destitution.

    And the genius of imposed destitution is that generally the torturers don’t have to work very hard at it , but can totally fuck off and still make money off of it , while still getting their jollies.

    Anyway , the War on Drugs renders millions upon millions of people destitute , and not just tiny disliked minorities , but pretty much anyone and everyone potentially.

    The argument there of course is that the drugs do all the damage.

    I call bullshit.

    There was a time before the War on Drugs , and you can research that time,

    and I would argue a finding of that research would be that the world was once full of dope smokers , coke snorters , daily drunks , etc , and most of them not rich , but who did not go broke , who could pay the grocery bill , who did not rob liquor stores , who did not go to jail.
    Who did not lock their kids in closets and beat them with sticks and rape them and that sort of thing.

    It is at least arguable whether the drugs , or the ” cure ” , are the ruin of more people.

    Anyway , so while the War on Drugs is not strictly a genocide , it is the undoing of vastly more people , and effecting not just this minority or subculture , or that one , but entire societies top to bottom.

    Much more impressive than Auschwitz , at least to me.

    But , OK , let’s say the entire extermination business was a hoax.

    I think it pretty well is established that facilities like Auschwitz were slave labor facilities.

    I guess I must plead guilty to being a snowflake , because that alone , seems bad enough alone to me.

    It seems bad enough to me , and really fucking depressing , that if it turned out to be no more than slave labor then the reaction of many would be that it’s leaping unicorns and rainbows then !

    I don’t know if you are in any way familiar with the Boer War or Breaker Morant ,

    but I very often think of a poem he wrote relating to this business ;

    ” …….. But we bequeath a parting tip
    For sound advice of such men,
    Who come across in transport ship
    To polish off the Dutchmen!

    If you encounter any Boers
    You really must not loot ’em!
    And if you wish to leave these shores,
    For pity’s sake, DON’T SHOOT EM! ”

    Translation ;

    It is dismaying to me that you can totally fuck over , brutalize , fiendishly exploit , and ruin people ,

    but it’s all good so long as you don’t kill them !

    By the way , my guess is in many parts I would be stigmatized , or even jailed , even though I do not deny the holocaust ,

    but because I say it is taken out of context.

    So I guess we wind up in the same place anyway.

    Now back to Joseph Mengele.

    In my opinion the basic facts are true.

    The basic facts being that the SS was not the Girl Scouts .

    And he had to know that.

    The Jews were treated like total shit , even killed , and he participated.

    He was an ambitious doctor , and engaged in genetic and racial research , at that time very popular , such as to lead to fame and fortune .

    But that’s ALL .

    The evil mad scientist stuff ?

    ALL of it that I have seen strictly anecdotal , eyewitness evidence.

    No smoking gun , only the word of someone.

    And dare I say these witnesses aren’t necessarily spotless.

    For example , they themselves will tell you that it was standard policy , systematically carried out , to kill anyone who was directly involved in the building and maintenance of gas chambers and crematoria.

    Basically , if you saw a gas chamber or crematoria with your own eyes you were as good as dead. Those people especially are priority kills , at the top of the death list.

    But many of these witnesses fit precisely into that category.

    How to explain their own survival ?

    Many of these survival stories strike me as questionable in some particular or other.

    That is to say , I get the impression that there is something in THEIR OWN STORY they are covering up , or editing out.

    Like , maybe ( granted , this is only a theory ) they were especially liked by the SS because they were especially cooperative. So they were especially spared.

    Victim or not , that is never the less not a detail you would want to underline later with your fellow Jews , the Americans , or the Russians.

    Another theory ; the children involved in Mengele’s — actually boring , unless you are a geneticist — experiments had a relatively good time of it.

    Getting sweets for example , when German children out in “freedom ” haven’t seen a sweet in three years.

    Clean sheets , when in the same camp , for many , the conditions are dangerously filthy.

    I for one can see where that might need to be glossed over somehow.

    The most consistent testimony about Mengele was that he was kindly and likeable.

    For example , that’s consistent testimony throughout his life.

    Before the SS ? Likeable and kindly.

    In South America 40 years later ? Likeable and kindly.

    Indeed , everywhere EXCEPT Auschwitz his relations with other races are characterized by those other races themselves as being rather of the liberal kind.

    Not an over – the – top racist fanatic.

    Much more a kind of mischievous cynic.

    Yet I think the description of the SS as a Mafia , characterized by uncompromising brutality , is a fair characterization.

    So why even add in the outrageous stuff , when the mundane is plenty bad enough ?

    My theory would be precisely so that hopefully people do not ponder the mundane too long or too deeply.

    They might conclude , for example , that the line between good and evil runs through EVERY human heart , forever wavering.

    And so War Crimes Trials will NOT accomplish much of anything.

    Military – Industrial Complexes will NOT accomplish much of anything.

    Shrinks , Social Engineers , the next election , and surveillance states will NOT accomplish much of anything.

    You live in Ireland ( ? ) so I don’t know if you would be aware of it ,

    but around here the final argument habitually against any criticism of the Military – Industrial Complex is that it was necessary to stop things like Mengele , Auschwitz , and gruesome experiments on children.

    But that’s hardly any sort of final argument if any significant number of people ever arrive at the conclusion that it did not , and could not , stop jack shit.

    Another thing could be that the reality simply wouldn’t be very entertaining.

    A year ago I saw a Hungarian ( ? ) movie about Elizabeth Bathory.

    The premise of the movie was that all the claims made about her are bullshit.

    THAT was the most entertaining thing about the movie.

    Maybe pretty woman who spends much of the movie in a nightgown gets politically fucked over is entertaining ?

    Otherwise , I found the movie rather boring myself.

    Bathtubs full of blood and teenage girls getting murdered I dare say would have been more fun.

    The most interesting part of the video you linked was his suggestion that while Mengele was claimed to be a high priority wanted man , the truth may have been very different.

    My own suspicion was that he was not as wanted as they claimed.

    I’m sure there would be several reasons for that , but my suspicion is that one of those reasons could be that his trial would be a let – down.

    No bathtubs full of blood , no teenage girls being murdered , or at least no more picked on or fucked over than anyone else.

    ZZZZZZ.

    —-

    Now in the interest of fairness , to undermine my own credibility ;

    Joseph Mengele has always fascinated me because we have the same birthday ,

    and I think vaguely that there is some kind of truth in Astrology.

        There is one testimony I’ve never forgotten, from the 8 hours of holocaust testimonies in Shoah.

        A woman recounts how she gave birth in the camp. They took her baby away and strapped up her chest to prevent her from feeding it, although she could hear it cry with hunger.

        The aim of the experiment was simply to observe how long it would take the baby to die.

      Kesa

      Yes, you are right. I live in Ireland. I came here in 1987 aged 29 when peoiple my age were leaving it in droves. My mother and fatehr were born here. They returned themsleves later and my mother is still alive at 105. I wonder if she is the oldest person here living on her own. She canot walk far and directs operatoins from her armchair.

      I agree with what you said about the video: that the most striking thing is that Mengele lived for years after the war, openly and under his own name, and nobody took any interest in him. The great hunt for him(in S. America I think, Argentina) seems to have been an Israeili PR stutnt.

      I do not believe the Holocaust story at all. There was a deportatoin of the Jews and conditions in the camps were grim. Most of what I know about that I got from reading Primo Levy. The trouble is that the evidence is not there, or if it is there I have never come across it, relying comopletely on eye-witness testimony. That is why I wanted people to look at that video (The Evidence For The Holocaust Parts 1 and 2) on Vasili’s channel on Bitchute, which I cannot link to unless I use the app to change my internet address. You have to scroll back a long way, two or three years.

      One of the things it showed was how the leading historians of hte story (eg Hilberg) relied on fantastical memoirs of alleged survivors and cite them as sources in their books, including only (relatively) plausible information and passing over in silence the mountains of lies and fantasy. This reminded me of the report of Ireland’s Ryan Commission into ‘institutional abuse’ (ie the Catholic Church scandal) which kept quiet about its decision (taken behind closed doors) to exclued the obviously made-up evidence becaue otherwise it would discredit the evidence it did included, much of it presumably from the same sources.

      As a clever child I saw myself in some academic future thinking brilliant, comoplicated thoughts. But what I find is my great discovery is little more than a banal pointing out of the bledding obvious that others are (or rather were) blind to, as if I am in the Asche confomity experiment calling out ‘shorter’ when the line is shorter than the others whereas everyone else (mainly actors) are declaring ‘longer’.

      And not only that, but so deep was my obsession with this strange fact of human behaviour that I discounted the more important conspiracy angle to what is happening until only quite recently, to the begining of this year at the earliest, and that largely down to what others have been writing on this weblog.

      One man who has been more systematic than me, much more systematic, is Matthew Raphael Johnson. I like to go over the main features of an event or a story or a fantasy or witch hunt until it sinks into my memory, and even then I have to go back to it again later to remind myself of the bits I have since forgotten. That way I think I have some kind of command over it. Few bother to do this. And it is of little help in argument because others almost always know next to nothign about these things. They simply ‘know’ that JJimmy Savile was evil or that Mengele was diabolical and there is something very much wrong with me for suggesting otherwise.

      So with teh Holocaust they do not know that there has been a big division between the ‘intentionalist’, who say that Hitler planned it from the start, and the other camp who said it was made up as events unfurled. (As if they ‘unfurl’.) (Raoul Hilberg, author of the ‘definitive’ and sententiosly titled ‘standard reference work’ of the Holocaust, The Destruction Of Europe’s Jews, was forced to admit under robust cross examination at one of the Zundel trials in Canada in the 80s, was forced to confrim an earlier admission that he had no documentary evidence for his two claimsm int eh book that Hitler had planned it. Instead, he described it as “an incredible meeting of minds, a consensus mind-reading across a far-flung bureaucracy”. In other words it was a kind of telepathy. Som much for the standard reference work.)

      Few realize that the original claims were that there had been gas chambers in Belsen, Dachau and the western camps liberated by the British and Americans, although this had been trumpeted in the beginning. So it shifted to Aushwitz and then again (when those figures were steeply revised downwards) to the ‘Reinhardt’ camps II have no time to chack the spelling): Tremblinka (Oh! Treblinka! The very name strikes fear into the heartt),Belzec and Sobibor.

      These are the subect of ‘v asili’s’ videos. They got about 20 minutes in total at the Nuremberg show trial (the phrase Nuremberg Code in the ‘Covid’ context therefore irritates me) and theose who testitified were clearly lying their heads off if not mentally deranged. (I have had some experience with trollson weblogs, those who enjoy using multiple identities and they have always been quite seriously insane).

      At Treblinka we are expected to believe that the equivalent of the popluation of San Franciso was gassed in a a small builindg comprising of six rooms the size of smallish to medium-sized bedrooms), led up a staircase and through a single door. In each room up t a dozen barbers with a dozen benches gave the women a haircut (not the head shave used for delousing) (‘to provide hair for mattresses for German women to lie on”), whereupon the babers, with their benches, would all crowd out into the central corridor, while those in the rooms, expecting a shower, were gassed. Their bodies (tons of flesh) were quickly pulled out after the gassing which lasted only 5 minutes and thrown into pits. Later,w hen the Russians were close, they had to dig up all of these bodies and burn them in open fires, with the women at the bottom because they burnt better.

      And of course nobody saw this. Just like at the Tuam children’s homes where nobody saw the terrible torture the nuns handed out to the little children because the forbidding high walls around the home veildd , or rather shrouded, these evil proceedings. Except, as it turned out, when it was conceded that proper coffins were indeed used at least on SOME occasions and not all of the poor dead infants were cast with develish glee into the legendary ‘sewage tank’. (And this reminds me of the testimony of one of the star Reinhardt witnesses who saw a little Jewish girl picked up and thrown alive into the burning oven. Yeah, and that happened too.)

      How did they know they used coffins? Well, local residnts could watch the burials from the upper storey of the housing estate whcih surrounded the home. As I commented on an Irish blog a few years ago, “Was ther NO privacy?”

      When the rest of the world finally wakes up to the truth Germany will remain in its trance. And the whole German people knew about it, even the dogs in the street, so they are all guilty as hell and Morgenthau was right to try to starve them out of existence in the winter of 46-47, Di Hungerarjjahre. Yes, that is what happened. No hold on, nobody knew, it was all the fault of the Pope. They still cannot make their minds up. Everyone knew, nobody knew. It was all planned, it was made up as they went along. The level of sutpidity is so staggering that anyone who is able to see that a short line is shorter than a long line is a genius.

    OSHA has put the finishing touches on the vaccine mandate enforcement plan allegedly. Massive walkouts are supposed to start happening tomorrow, well today but later. And they say that all the ships at sea that can’t get into the ports are because people are not taking the vaccine. So the unvaccinated are causing the supply chain disruptions or something like that. If everyone in the world is vaccinated then the ships will run on time. Got it?! I also heard a new theory today or maybe an old one but anyhoo basically the gist is that all these ships could be part of an attack that’s gonna happen soon. If anything those ships are each floating environmental disasters but no one is mentioning that it seems. Kinda like you hardly ever hear mention of the countless birds killed by wind turbines or puppies killed by Fauci

    Anyone see Karl Denninger’s latest COVID-related entry over on the Market Ticker?

    https://www.market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=244109

    He discusses an article (which he links) wherein the authors run some stats on VAERS data and find that only a small number of lots of the vaxx account for the vast majority of deaths and serious adverse reactions. All three manufacturers (Moderna, Pfizer, J&J) have the same profile. Further, it appears that the most harmful lots were sent around to 13-50 states, while the less harmful lots went to only 12 states. The article doesn’t divulge what states got what.

    Karl goes on to run some stats of his own and gives the LOT NUMBERS of the vaxxes associated with the most deaths.

    Much more in article, Karl’s post, and comments. Stew Peters had Dr. Jane Ruby on and she went over some of this stuff as well. Absolutely must-know information! Apologies if already discussed here–I just came across it tonight.

      I found the beef…

      “The best-fit hypothesis is that there is no way to control manufacturing at-scale when the product causes the body to produce a pathogenic thing via a biological process.

      All drugs have a toxic dose. You can control direct introduction of a drug sufficiently to prevent toxicity on a random lot-based basis. What you can’t do, on the evidence, is sufficiently control that process when the body itself is doing the manufacturing.

      If the thing manufactured is benign this might not matter but in the case of a coronavirus it matters greatly since the spike is pathogenic even without the rest of the virus.”

      • JohnAZ November 3, 2021 at 10:29 am #

        Yes.

        I think that the variability of people’s response to the inflammation caused by the products of the vaccines, both the mRNA, the packaging to deliver it, and the s protein is what has caused the “surprise” of the bad responses.

        An example may the degree of cholesterol buildup in and around the heart arterial system, it is long recognized that inflammation can set off clotting cascades in this are, heart attacks.

        • JohnAZ November 3, 2021 at 10:33 am #

          Certain markers in blood tests can show the level of inflammation in the body. I wonder if a study of inflammation vs. manufacturing lot would show anything?

        • Paula D November 3, 2021 at 3:03 pm #

          If most lots didn’t cause that reaction, and some lots caused almost all the reactions, then the logical conclusion is not that it is the individual human body reacting that is the problem, it is that there was something in those particular lots that were particularly damaging.

      Stolen from ticker comments,
      As a scientist I can tell you there are certain elements that the truly “wise” and the humane will never screw with until something is truly understood. There is simply a threshold that must NEVER be crossed especially when it comes to the sanctity of human life and health. Red flags were raised from the moment it was occurring.

      A person can never give “informed consent” when information is being hidden or withheld in my opinion. That makes your legal “immunity” worthless IMO. I’m sure we will eventually see how much these pharma companies are influencing government reporting.

      Granting immunity to mass murderers/manglers only makes the politicians complicit in the final judgement. Warp speed my ass-more like Warped Minds! Trump needs to be on that platform along with the media jab cheerleaders, pharma executives, businesses, and government officials for pushing this insanity.

      This is madness and these mad Mengeles all deserve to have their academic and medical credentials formally and forever yanked before standing trial for crimes against humanity. They have attempted to make the entire world and not only the 330+ million people of the USA their lab rats.

      IMO, everyone who took a vaxxx should get out their cards, note the lot number, and look to see if it matches any of the really, really bad lots.

      Maybe people who seem to be just fine right now didn’t get enough (or any??) of the mRNA to eventually kill them. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a clue?? Maybe everyone who took the jab won’t die in the next couple years after all. But then again, there’s enough other awful crap in the jabs–lipid nanoparticles, graphene oxide, etc.–that might kill a person, too. Or did all that stuff vary by lot, too? Who knows? It’s all a total clusterfuck.

      Apparently the really bad lots (that is, the ones IDed this go-around– who knows what the future will bring) were given at certain times, too, so anyone who took a jab might want to look at that, as well.

      • GreenAlba November 3, 2021 at 12:25 pm #

        Am I the only person who wasn’t given a card? I refuse to apply for a vaxx pass on my phone, so I don’t know how I can get hold of the batch number. Although I got Astra Zeneca and it’s never included in US statistics because it’s not approved over there. It seems to be the one we know the least about, even though it was the first (I think?) to be implicated in clotting in young women.

        Assuming for the moment that there might be some possibility that the administration of globally applied lethal injections plus possibly benign injections was planned and coordinated in a very targeted strategy, the task of tracking and recording the individual lots is surely a virtually impossible task at street level by us, the targeted victims.

        Unfortunately, it would seem that this is where faith enters the fray, for me, faith that my children were spared lethal injections despite their blindness, ignorant arrogance, and stupidity for volunteering to go to the showers.

      I sense the tide is beginning to turn, just a little, TS.

      It looks like the stupid campaigns to “Defund the Police” have run their course. And at some point in the near future we may even see George Floyd monuments begin to be dismantled and scrapped, and thrown into the nearest river.

      In Glasgow, the landmark ‘Climate Change Conference’ is turning into a big farce, the butt of many jokes; Xi Jinping and VPutin didn’t show, and Sleepy Joe lived up to his moniker — and fell asleep. The only ‘success’ to come out of it may be the 3rd world shakedown of the White West, with $100 billion per year ‘Climate Reparation’ payouts … till the end of time. That’ll buy a lot of Bentleys, yachts, mansions, cocaine, champagne, fancy food, private aircraft, Swiss vacations, gold chains, diamonds, exotic pets, weapons and ammo for dictators, Pashas, Princes, Kings and Tribal Chieftains across Africa, the Caribbean, Micronesia, and East Asia.

      Well there was still lots of cheating happening. The theory is that the cheating was simply not enough to overcome the actual lead that Glenn had which was reflected earlier in the evening. So he actually overperformed in that line of thinking. People still have to get super serious about election integrity if they are going to play politics. That is another reason I think they couldn’t deny the Republicans their victories. They had people all over the precincts unlike any past election.

      One comment

      The demographics of Virginia favor the Dem side by 10%. So Glen overcame a 10% bias plus 2%.

      That is the blow dealt to the Dems. Two weeks ago, Mc cauliffe was considered a shoe in. Then he opened his mouth and inserted his foot. He actually stated what Progressives believe, that government knows better than individuals.

      It went downhill like a lead balloon from that, in spite of all the Dem cheerleaders.

        He probably got all of the Independents and a fair number of Democratic cross overs. He repudiated the very idea of parental input into education. The idea that the State owns our children is the line in the sand. He approached that by his statements.

    The ebb and flow of American politics is something to behold.
    Almost like everything is staged!

    Take for example the rise and fall of TRUMP.
    He sweeps in and literally sets Progressive policies back over a decade and then is swept out of power by hook or crook.

    Almost a year later the destructive and inept policies of lil Joe and the absolute bullshit of Democrat policies usher in Republican victories all over the state of Virginia.

    Now suddenly the spineless Republicans appear to be pushing back against this useless mandate (not codified by law) of Joe Bidens vaccine for all policy.
    Yet many are exempted from this “mandate” so the reality is this is not legal after all but appears to be a strong suggestion.

      They accused Trump of being a fascist and yet its Joe Biden colluding with private business to push a product onto we the people.

      Definition of fascism
      1often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

      What if there is a new form of eco-facism that exalts all races over one and still does all the above while also doing everything in their power to destroy the great nation?

      What we now have is a merging of socialism, marxism and fascism.

      Leave it to us ‘Mericans to make everything convoluted and weird.

        Iow what it really seems like is that essentially the elites and the political/managerial class hates the American citizenry so much that they will literally throw everything plus the kitchen sink at them to destroy them. I think the general public would be ok, actually far better off, if Washington and all its trappings were not even there.

      • Jarek November 3, 2021 at 12:22 pm #

        The Corporations are clearly in charge – the opposite of Fascism. The “stakeholders” as Schwab calls them. Thus it’s not Fascism or Communism (though Communism will be part of the system – our part!) but rather Plutocracy. By definition that is oligarchic (rule by a few) and totalitarian (no rights but what they grant).

        The Banks were Internationalist before the rise of the Corporations. I would guess that the real rulers at the very top are largely from these old families.

          banks and “old families”

          The inquiry might be, “what controls what?”

          Surely, it would seem that financial systems are at the crux of all economic activity, eh? With currencies [money, in the old days] being the blood of financial circulatory system, indeed, central banks must be the hearts. Enter the historical evidence for the inception of the central banking system [an amazing story by any measure] and the Roth’s et.al. “old families” indeed.

          So, what of corporations, governments, and billionaires? Errand boys of various ranks, I say, even with some of no more influence than a hood ornament [cue US presidential blathering].

          I could be wrong.

      Youngkin carried the banner of Trump. The Golden Golem needs to become a mentor for these younger conservative candidates and more than anything else he needs to destroy the nest of vipers, the RINOs. Be the voice of the nationalistic, America First crowd. Yesterday’s vote shows that the majority of the people, all the people reject the Hate America philosophy of the Far Left. Biden better rethink his allegiance. Why the heck do these people hate this country?

    My gun-totin’ friends also know things like how to put up your vegetables, how to grow them, how to repair your own vehicles, all things that I could use help with from someone more experienced.
    How does one not learn that over the course of a life? Pay attention my friend. My grandpa died when I was 7 YO.He taught me to make wine, pick, ‘shrooms, chase a rabbit out of the brambles, skin a trout. My mom taught me rabbit stew and polenta. Frying frog legs.

    Pleasantly surprised that Minneapolis voters came through with common sense yesterday.

    These are folks who have been conditioned into thinking anything status quo is inherently evil and should be “reimagined”.

    Well they kept the PD and they kept the Boy Wonder mayor, who is a progressive weenie overall, but he was the only candidate that rejected the idea of getting rid of the police. Amazing how he was the best candidate all of a sudden. Everyone else bordered on or crossed well into Ilhan territory. (The left trying to “out-left the left”)

    Clearly a lot of my wokester friends don’t actually believe the “defund” BS that they have to pretend to a lot of the time in public. Thank God for that.

    The Enemy was crushed. The Wages of Sin are death.

    Dan Bongino thanked the Lincoln Project for possibly putting Youngkin over the top. They sent over a crew of spiffy White Supremacists to campaign for Glenn in uniform: long sleeve white shirts, khaki pants, sun glasses, baseball hats and of course, Pier One tiki torches, unlit because it was daytime or because of fire hazard. They felt that had to be inclusive, so one of the five (I think) White Supremacists was black, and one was one a woman.

    Don’t get you tiki torches from Pier One. Boycott! Make you own or get them from Hobby Lobby.

      The White Supremacists didn’t say or chant anything. The just stood as still and quiet as cigar store Indians – just mannequins for a photo op. With the cluelessness that characterized the entire campaign, the McAuliffe people went with the hoax completely, never realizing how absurd, weak, and gay the whole thing was. Some of them even believed it – which shows the caliber of their connection to reality.

          Remember that the ways of the world are the ways of the AntiChrist devil. Man is evil by his nature. One of the problems right now with America, Canada too, is that the freedom and Liberty given by the countries allows Evil to bloom and prosper. High Tech just amplifies the Evil that is growing decade to decade.

          Being a true Christian and fighting evil separates you from society.

      Bad sentence structure. I can’t make out your meaning.

      • O.G. Hawkins November 3, 2021 at 8:19 pm #

        I do not see anything Wrong with my sentence structure … but I will rephrase it for you:

        Can atheists blaspheme God?

        • Jarek November 3, 2021 at 8:27 pm #

          You’re right – the sentence is alright. The weirdness of the girl’s psychology is throwing me for a loop though. The Demonic is always denying and affirming at the same time. Blacks will deny Whites can ever be victims and then mock them as victims after savage attacks. So could that be it? Deny God exists but then next second mock Him as if she does believe in Him – but hates Him?

          But if she’s now an atheist, why does she care about fornication? Or is she getting off on the idea that some of the Biblical characters weren’t completely moral or that their morality wasn’t always Christian per se?

          • O.G. Hawkins November 3, 2021 at 8:43 pm #

            The weirdness of the girl’s psychology is as Good an explanation as anything that I can imagine for her to spout such sickness to and of Christian Believers.

            The duality of your analogy seems a Good fit, too.

            And I’ll add a meanness. She displayed sheer meanness at her blaspheming of God to and of Christians.

            I have Prayed for her corrupted soul.

            Thank you.

    I don’t really care who won elections last night as I imagine they will all still steer the ship toward the iceberg, maybe somewhat slower? Maybe not.

    But what I am enjoying is the full meltdown among the wokies on social media. Now, that’s entertainment.

    On Twatter, they have #whitewomen trending and are devoting this afternoon’s ‘two minutes hate’ session toward all “Trumper” women who ‘vote for the patriarchy against their own self-interests.’ Sadly, I’m not kidding. And all conservative women are also white supremacists of course and all conservative candidates are by default racists.

    Oh, and I was wrong in my prediction that McAuliffe would win.

    I truly thought the Jo Jo McGhoul cabal would rig the election. I’m guessing that Republicans were on site making sure there was no funny business or something. Or perhaps Youngkin won by such a wide margin that the Dems couldn’t rig it? Who knows.

    • SoftStarLight November 3, 2021 at 3:53 pm #

      I personally think it was a bit of both. I heard yesterday afternoon that in the previous election, I suppose the 2020 presidential election, that only 28% of the Republican precinct captain slots were filled, whereas last night they had 100% of the slots filled across the state. Also Youngkin got like 90 – 95% of the Republican vote in many of the counties in the southwest part of the state. He outperformed Trump among Republicans so.

    It is bizarre that some men who bemoan today’s reset, and also continually mourn the loss of the white race, at the same time salaciously dwell on the savagery of the witch hunts of Europe, when millions of people, especially women, were burned, drowned or hanged so that the old pagan tribes could be turned into compliant serfs and peasants for the autocrats of those times.
    Just think, it’s possible that one of those women or girls who was burned for resistance could have produced children, and it is also possible, if somewhat unlikely, that one of their descendants could have been a female who lusted mightily after those males on this thread who lecture us on proper womanhood, (while drooling over the torture of white women of the past).
    The descendants would be white, as were the millions killed by the Empire and its Catholic enforcers.
    Why no cognitive dissonance?

    • O.G. Hawkins November 3, 2021 at 5:11 pm #

      There is no doubt that imagined women can be far more enjoyable than Real women. I’ll give ya that, PD.

      For example, the MASSIVE porn industry runs on exactly that premise.

      However, I would argue that women imaging the perfect man is far more common than vice versa and, of course, the executed witches would have produced a roughly 50/50 split of people that never existed.

      • GreenAlba November 3, 2021 at 7:12 pm #

        The porn industry does not have any imagined women on offer. Imagined women are what you can produce in your own head.

        What the porn industry offers is an unending supply of real women you are not required to give a fuck about. That’s why it’s so popular.

          • O.G. Hawkins November 3, 2021 at 8:28 pm #

            Agreed. Both angles are correct, Mr M.

            Consumers of porn dehumanize the “stars” while they focus on the sexual acts performed while the “stars” themselves are most definitely human.

            Note: Porn is rarely mentioned as a tool of the TPTB. I Believe that porn makes most people uncomfortable and they’d rather ignore it than discuss it.

            A few years back, a University Sociological study on the effects of porn on young men had to be cancelled. The professor and the class could not find a single young man on campus to be the Control Group. They were, 100%, already thoroughly exposed to porn.

            Sad but True.

          • Paula D November 3, 2021 at 8:39 pm #

            Porn is part of the dehumanization of humanity and it is clearly protected and subsidized by our rulers. That was pointed out by a man that I saw on Corbett. Pornhub is free? Why? Who pays for the trafficking, the production, the distribution? Why are they turning an entire generation of men into women-hating porn addicts?
            It might be a population control device as well. Porn addicts can’t get it up for actual live women.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 3, 2021 at 8:46 pm #

            OG – that is sad. But not surprising. The instant internet delivery at such a young age can pretty much only be thoroughly damaging and stunting in many ways.

            When I was a lad, you had to plan a covert operation to find the mythical copy of Penthouse that some friend’s older brother supposedly kept hidden out in the woods or something. Or – gasp – a grainy VHS tape that you then had to find a place to actually view it.

            I figure the damage was much less, as it wasn’t on-demand, and the effort to find a naked lady picture was rewarded, but briefly. And then, back to the old imagination, trying to mentally declothe the 8th French teacher.

            (To the ladies, yes, boys – and a lot of men – are pigs…but they all go through it – they must, to learn and move forward as adults. Girls, as it turns out, can be pretty darn freaky too. But I’m guessing back in the day they were much less likely to be tromping through the woods looking for the right pile of sticks, lol.)

          • MaryQueen November 3, 2021 at 9:24 pm #

            Paula, you are spot on about this.

            If anyone is interested in knowing more, a woman named Gale Dines leads a movement against the porn and has a lot of info on it as this is her crusade.

            Mango: I recall being shocked, shocked, I tell you, to find a PlayBoy in the bathroom at a house I was babysitting at, probably at age 13? 14? And cautiously thumbing through it. I think girls are just as curious but perhaps not as determined to get their hands on more. And let’s face it, males are expected to know it all when they finally do have sex, so I guess that’s a driving factor, too. Who wants to appear naive?

        • Paula D November 3, 2021 at 8:29 pm #

          Indeed, GA. The porn industry shows real women, actual women, being abused by men, so that other men can beat off to it.
          What a system.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 3, 2021 at 8:38 pm #

            Most often, yes. Plenty of guys with their nads tied up and being swatted with a switch though, too.

            The difference is, who the hell would want to watch that?

          • MaryQueen November 3, 2021 at 9:25 pm #

            Well I think most male only porn is usually for the gays, who are a much smaller demographic. But I am just guessing.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 3, 2021 at 9:41 pm #

            (They can be swatted by a “lady” as well, Mary. Called dominatrix/fetish.)

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 3, 2021 at 9:42 pm #

            But yes, you make a valid point. If a male spends time watching male-on-male porn…he ain’t straight.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 3, 2021 at 9:46 pm #

            The main point is that most people (I hope?) grow out of seeking out porn. They have kids, they have a place in the community, they have their church standing, they have a lot to lose.

            But if one literally grew up watching it regularly from a barely pubescent age (whenever mom and dad give them their first phone?), one may have serious difficulty understanding how to move on from it as a young man’s vice. Or even wanting to.

          • MaryQueen November 3, 2021 at 9:47 pm #

            Oh, I know, Mango. I dated a rocker who lived upstairs from a female porn star who also produced gay porn films in Los Angeles. I got a much not-cared-for education in all that. The people who lived in the front house were a fetish couple.

            “(They can be swatted by a “lady” as well, Mary. Called dominatrix/fetish.)”

            I once watched a programme on Channel 4 (they’re into voyeurism and tawdry documentaries, which I generally avoid like the plague) which was about telephone dominatrices (does giving them the correct plural add to their weirdness?!).

            Despite normally eschewing such programmes (I once managed 5 minutes of a depressing programme about doggers – don’t know if that’s a thing in the US) I stuck with it because it was funny.

            One of the women was a very ordinary looking student, trying to supplement her meagre income; one was a rather buxom middle-aged lady (she ended up marrying or hooking up permanently with one of her customers). They’d be having dominatrix conversations with their clients as they were doing the washing up, or in the student’s case, while doing her shopping in the supermarket. Hilarious, although you had to feel sorry for the men, as it made them look a bit sad.

      The worst Witch Hunts occurred in Central Europe during the 30 Years War, 1618-1648; an estimated 40,000 people burned, hung, drowned and decapitated as witches in this largely religious (Catholic vs Protestant) struggle which claimed nearly 10 million lives.

          I hear what you’re saying, but I would imagine far more (by orders of magnitude) men have been killed needlessly over the millenia than have women.

          Who knows, maybe it’s a split over all time, given some societies being particularly harsh in their view and treatment of women…but in Western history, surely not even a blip on the radar by comparison.

          • Paula D November 3, 2021 at 8:35 pm #

            Indeed, more men have been needlessly slaughtered, especially in the 20th century
            But because we are now being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the Great Reset, which I see as another power event like the turning of the tribes into serfs, I am doubly offended by Pucker’s drooling over the burning of women in Europe for those centuries.
            How dare he complain about being turned into human inventory for the overlords of today, while celebrating the torture and murders of resistors required back then?
            And then of course there is the incessant babbling about the upcoming demise of the white race from people who don’t give a flying fig about the mass murders of white people of the past. I see that as hypocritical.

      Women are now indoctrinated to see themselves as separate from their own Nation, Culture, Race, and of course, their brothers. Instead they feel sympathy with women all over the world. If they feel anything positive for men as a group, it’s for minority men or immigrants.

      This is obviously a globalist agenda that will destroy the West. I’d be in favor of giving such women their own lands. Anything to get them and their treason far away from us.

    • Jarek November 3, 2021 at 11:43 pm #

      You’re conflating at least two different times, separated by a thousand years. Indeed the Pagan Romans slaughtered hundred of thousands if not millions of Celts and Germans.

      In the early modern period, some thousands may have been burned or otherwise executed over the course of a few centuries by the Catholic Inquisition or the Protestant version of it, for heresy and/or witchcraft.

      In between the two periods, Charlemagne slaughtered the Saxon nobility and forced Christianity on the tribe. This happened in less bloody way in other places too.

      Read your Starhawk and Margot Adler: The “burning times” are a feminist myth – much like the idea that American women are savaged every year on Superbowl Sunday. Feminists don’t like men – and Freud’s “primary process” of fantasy takes over from there.

    JohnAZ

    Here’s some background on VA and its politics:

    ‘A new kind of suburbanization is sweeping through politics, from Richmond to Atlanta, Houston, Denver and elsewhere, and Democrats are starting to breach Republicans’ firewalls in elections.’

    ‘Not long ago, this rolling green stretch of Northern Virginia was farmland. Most people who could vote had grown up here. And when they did, they usually chose Republicans.

    The fields of Loudoun County are disappearing. In their place is row upon row of cookie-cutter townhouses, clipped lawns and cul-de-sacs — a suburban landscape for as far as the eye can see. Unlike three decades ago, the residents are often from other places, like India and Korea. And when they vote, it is often for Democrats.’

    ‘But while political leaders come and go, the deeper, more lasting force at work is demographics.

    Once the heart of the confederacy, Virginia is now the land of Indian grocery stores, Korean churches and Diwali festivals. The state population has boomed — up by 38 percent since 1990, with the biggest growth in densely settled suburban areas like South Riding. One in 10 people eligible to vote in the state were born outside the United States, up from one in 28 in 1990. It is also significantly less white. In 1990, the census tracts that make up Mr. Katkuri’s Senate district were home to about 35,000 people — 91 percent of them white. Today, its population of 225,000 is just 64 percent white.’

    ‘It’s not just Virginia. From Atlanta to Houston, this pattern is repeating itself — a new kind of suburbanization that is sweeping through politics. The densely populated inner ring suburbs are turning blue, while the mostly white exurban outer ring is redder than ever. Elections are won and lost along that suburban line, and in some places — like Atlanta, Denver, and Riverside County, Calif. — Democrats have begun to breach Republicans’ firewalls.’

    But you and Brh may be right, the tide may be turning. The question is how that tide flows in the long run, going up against the gravity of demographics, immigration and globalization. A joke using the word ‘dig’ escapes me for the moment, something about dig our own graves or the like, but it is true that ‘dig’ may likely bury us eventually.

    Well,I just read.something amazing.

    Remember when Newt and the GOP blasted the off year congressional elections under Clinton. Clinton faced the music, compromised on welfare, balanced the budget and is remembered for a decent legacy.

    Oh no, not Biden’s mob. The story said that they are going to double down on getting the massive tax and spend programs through the Congress RIGHT NOW! Manchin and Sinema must be getting so many threats right now.

    The narcissistic nature of these people makes Trump look really good right now.

      That right there was my bedtime lullaby. I was out just after the importance of fermentation, but am sure it’s all stored up somewhere deep down in the bowels of my subconscious.
      In biology once, we were told there’d be a pop quiz the next day. Since I never studied, I was nervous. So that night I read the important parts of the text book to get my head straight, put the book under my pillow and slept on it. I beat everybody, the only time that ever happened.
      In that same class once, when we were dissecting and teach had stepped out for a sec, one kid started bandying his scalpel about like a sword, doing a dance of sorts and calling out for a duel.
      His mom had brought my mom to tears in a pharmacy where they both worked. So I had some idea what this kid experienced at home.
      Not all it turned out. The kid was expelled, and I just heard he was found dead in a pool of drugs and booze.
      Will add him to my invocation list for the dead this month.

    ” @Kesa

    ‘who doesn’t know…”

    I don’t know that.

    What means “fucked up”? ”

    I don’t believe you.

    I’m quite sure you would have said something very similar to me if I had not beat you to it.

    How can I be so sure ?

    Because you already carried out a fair equivalence in fact ;

    ” Thanks for the comedy relief. I find infantile meaningless statements to be at least creative in their senselessness and to be terribly amusing. ”

    It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out the particular sentiments and motives behind a statement like the above.

    Whatever.

    I find you sophomorically boring.

    It certainly gets boring pointing out for the 50th time the quite elementary fact that , despite being a total bitch ,

    I have fans.

    And more than a few , too.

    CFN is not my only venue.

    And that is , like , fucking stupidly obvious.

    I shouldn’t even have to point it out , unless you are a total fucking moron.

    So how fucking stupid must you be to think I would buy your ten cent horse shit ?

    But even if I didn’t have a single fan ,

    geez , I figured out that gaslighting trick in 7th grade.

    You need to graduate middle school asshole.

          Hahaha! Got me there, it is clusterfuck nation.

          However, there is a difference between saying “this is fucked up” or “fuck that!” and “You are a fucker!” and/or “fuck you!”

          I would hope you’d understand that very big difference.

          Much like, a person up here went ballistic for 2 weeks following me around ranting like a loon because I called out his hypocrisy on a certain subject. We all say hypocritical stuff, I just pointed one of his out.

          He decided I had labeled him a hypocrite, which is not the same thing. You can say, “that’s a mean thing to say” without saying someone is a mean person. You can say “that’s a stupid thing to say.” Without it meaning the person is stupid.

          Most people don’t get the difference.

      * I do have fans ,

      or I don’t have fans.

      * — ” evil ” — well , I never met a saint who didn’t turn out to be a poser leaving shit out of their resume.

      I have found that to be so consistently , thoroughly , true , that I assume anyone claiming to be otherwise is that much worse , that much less reliable.

      So I don’t think ” evil ” is much of a criticism.

      In simple terms , if a person tells me the bad shit they did , their stock rises.

      By the same metric , the more spotless the presented resume , the less I trust it , the more their stock falls.

      I opperate exactly like the Stasi or the NSA , except to different ends.

      I’m glad you’ve figured out my ‘type.’ That’s always fun, isn’t it?

      I am guessing with that inference, that you are so above me (with all the fans & stuff) that you don’t have a type, and that you are leagues too smart to deal with the likes of me, in essence, leaving me in the dirt.

      I’m fine with that as I don’t have ego wrapped up in how ‘smart’ I am or am not. (As others here are). I hope that announcement helped boost your ego a bit more. Always happy to be of help.

      As for being evil, I honestly don’t believe that leaving an opinion on someone’s comment that you don’t like makes someone ‘evil’ – and how you could determine that from a few comments – mostly pretty benign – is sort of a bizarre claim on your part.

    Just for the record, the Youngkin win was probably a bait ‘n’ switch. I am seeing now that as an ex-Carlyle Group CEO, he is VERY much in with the WEF and is probably a bigger WEF puppet than McAuliffe was.

    So, well played, PTB.

    Like I keep saying, these elections are fixed now, in favor of WEF puppets always.

    A friend said: “Youngkin is ex-CEO of The Carlyle Group, invested mostly in defense contractors; Baby Bush and his creepy cabinet along with Osama bin Laden’s daddy made a shit ton of money off of the Iraq war from their investments in TCG. As always, it doesn’t matter, red or blue, who wins any election. It’s always the rich and vulgar class who benefits. As one commenter on the RT piece said:

    “Youngkin is/was the CEO of the Carlyle Group. That tells us everything about who this person is. It matters not whether he’s a Democrat or a Republican. As a result we would be very surprised that changes in Virginia will happen, especially with forced vaccinations for city/state/federal employees. Youngkin is just another financial character who is in bed with US Oligarchs, Big Pharma and Wall Streeters.”

    So, while it’s momentarily fun to watch the Democrat supporters have hissies and tantrums, it’s all of us who lose in the end.

    • tucsonspur November 4, 2021 at 4:29 am #

      He spoke at the WEF in Davos in 2020. Money talking. Dollars then morphing into political power. His win helps Virginia and the nation, the machinations of the WEF notwithstanding.

      I wonder if he’s as bad as Romney. Even if people knew, I don’t think the Carlyle connection would have hurt him like Bain did Romney.

      It’s good to remember that people like Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton or Richard Nixon or Gerald Ford could make it to the ‘top’. Ronald Reagan also came from more humble beginnings. This is not to say that they didn’t have to pass inspection by the ‘Kingmakers’.

      In a hyper-complex world of 8 billion interdependent people, voluminous global trade and increasingly stressed resources, it’s not all ever going to be managed by using parochial parameters, sad to say. The rich and powerful will attempt to hold things together while they become more and more wealthy until it all begins to unravel.

      So I guess we do lose, in the sense that he also won’t really address the over arching issues of our time.

    • Hereward the Woke November 4, 2021 at 7:03 am #

      Mary: I don’t think many have an illusions about Youngkin. It was just wonderful fun, though, seeing Obama’s butt buddy, McAuliffe, being kicked out of public life. We take our victories where we can.

      • MaryQueen November 4, 2021 at 10:01 am #

        Agree completely, it is always fun to watch the wokies lose. That was indeed enjoyable. Also, whether or not the McAuliffe loss was planned, it still leaves the appearance that Virginians said ‘no’ to his agenda, which includes calling concerned parents ‘extremists’ and ‘terrorists’.

        I am leaning toward thinking that the election was mostly legit. I think Virginians really got a dose of reality over the Loudon county school board upheaval.

        • JohnAZ November 4, 2021 at 11:58 am #

          Legit because enough judges were in place to make sure the cheating did not happen, an error in the 2020 election by the GOP.

          The Deep State removed an obstacle to its increasing power grab, that was the story. The RINOs joined in, looking the other way as the election was stolen. Trump was the target of the Deep State, regardless of party. That is why the reaction to the corruption charges was universally put down.

    • Night Owl November 4, 2021 at 7:56 am #

      Sounds about right. That whole midwit Republican crowd is a big reason why the chances of stopping this takeover get bleaker by the day.

      They simply can’t admit (or don’t understand) what is going on because they still adhere to the idea that the system generally works.

      These are the same buttfucks that were all for the Afghan invasion and who believe that 9/11 was carried out by 19 cave-dwellers with some cutlery.

      • 100th Avatar November 4, 2021 at 8:40 am #

        Youngkin can be pinned down to 2 things:

        -no CRT.

        -No mask/vax mandates for school students

        These are the last realms of control for the plebs.
        Their bodies? That war is lost.

        Their children’s minds and bodies: the line in the sand.

        Time will tell if Youngkin is a latter day Moses Rose.

        • Night Owl November 4, 2021 at 8:45 am #

          I agree. The question now is whether he flat out lied to get elected, like most of his WEF-associated compadres.

          • MaryQueen November 4, 2021 at 10:03 am #

            My guess is that his WEF leanings will be showing up soon enough. I hope I’m wrong.

        I believe there is a schism forming inside both parties, separating state and local control from Federal control. Just like 1830 to 1860.

        The Deep State is the enemy of the people of this country, party makes no difference in DC.

        It does however locally, as the Dems just found out.

        Quit trying to fix the problem at the Deep State level, it will not work.

        Local issues, bread and butter issues are what is going to change things.

        What would happen if the governors are thumbed their noses at DC over the mandate, or nationalized voting?

        It would be sweet.

    Hood: Democrats better figure our if CRT is imaginary or necessary. The mid-terms are coming up.

    Hood: If Whites were really in control, we wouldn’t be having this conversation at all. As it is, CRT (or whatever name you give it) is one of the means the Elite are using to dispossess traditional Whites of their lands, culture, and nations.

      What a laugh!!

      I am so glad everything today is based on science.

      The idea of these two nincompoops discussing anything of substance is a very sad joke. The joke is on the people of the world as absolutely nothing is being decided or proposals set into play to do anything. Just a little glitter thrown around.

      Not one single legitimate idea to progress the reduction of CO2, not one. with the Arctic getting ready to vent methane, not one idea to sequester the really bad gas.

      Trump tried to stop this obvious attempt at globalization, now Joe Nutso is apologizing for that.

      The atmosphere IS speeding up as the temperature gradient intensifies from equator to pole.

      How about starting to relocate folks away from deserts or seashores and start to populate the areas that are defrosting for a start? Russia, with a defrosted Siberia and Arctic oil is going to blast the US out of the catbird seat and soon. I notice that Russia and China did not show up for the conference, good for them. They have more sense in their little finger than the current US government has together.

      What a joke global power is. Just in time for when we really need some answers.

    Some observations

    Watching GMA.

    Jamie Oliver, chef has a spot specifically citing the rise of meat prices while making a dish of “alternative protein” and leftover ingredients around the house.

    I’m all for leftovers. Absolutely. I just found it interesting that this chef was citing these to mainstream urban America. That’s a big change.

    Next spot was a musical about the dead English royal, Diana (what ever her last name was).

    The cult of the English royal lives on in the US. I don’t understand it.

    I think I’m supposed to feel sorry and have empathy for the Windsors or whatever their real name is.

    I don’t.

    If the new world experience is viewed through the lense of current events, it makes one begin to question the entire framework of US history.

    In this context, CRT, while being essentially true, is just a subset of a multi faceted campaign of invasion and conquest of all people.

    It recasts every war narrative, every conflict, every governance, economic and social program, as driven by the desire for power and control.

    But the real epiphany is, do you then care? Because if you think man is essentially “good”, and that these times are particularly trying, then you’ll be caught in a depressive trap longing for some mystical past.

    However, if you can accept that US history is no different than any other organized power through the ages, starting with troops of proto humans, then it forces you to confront some hard truths.

    At this point you can tearfully confess you’re a terrible person seeking absolution, or shrug and say fuck em. But here’s the revelation: this country, this world will only be in control of normals when enough people no longer give a shit and begin to go about doing the routine hard work of making enemies pay.

      I really don’t think there is going to be any real consequential pushback against the system until the system totally collapses in upon itself. As it is there is too much centralized, concentrated power and control which negates much of the ability to change things at even the local level.

      • JohnAZ November 4, 2021 at 11:00 am #

        The bad news is that the party that believes in totalitarian rule is in total control of DC and many of the crucial state and local centers of power.

        The good news is the % shift in Virginia, New Jersey and Minneapolis. The natives are getting restless, sensing the total inadequacy of the PTB.

        The vote allows the people to change the people with the power. Trump’s ability to make change was cancelled by the overwhelming power of the Deep State.

        The Dems are alerted, do not be surprised if action is initiated to try to nationalize the vote. Before 2022. The uniparty is still threatening this country.

        • SoftStarLight November 4, 2021 at 11:18 am #

          In most respects both national parties believe in totalitarian rule. What is the RNC for instance doing to protect bodily autonomy, the most basic of human rights? But imo it seems like the system that lords over this country is very close to complete implosion. There are stronger more cohesive forces in the world and yes, I do agree with you, the natives are restless. So time is ticking. Who knows. It could be that by the time the midterms get here there will be no country let alone governable elections.

            All states stopping the mandate are GOP led. The breakdown will be Red states telling the Feds to F off. The Deep State is a lost cause and will have to be eliminated. Any one voting Dem now is voting for a dictatorship. Will the Reds have the ability to toss the suckers out? 2022!

            Unless a legitimate Tea Party style patriotic movement starts, the GOP is the only way out and only at the state level. As I said, the Deep State is a lost cause, including all the RINOs that believe in its power domination. Remember that Lincoln kicked off the power of the Feds with the CW1.

        America is based on reaction, not proaction. The FF did not want power in the hands of so few. Balance of powers only allows crises and prolonged dogged problems to change things. Think Pearl Harbor, 9/11, or civil rights.

        The failure of the System causes horrendous damage, CW1, the Great Depression for examples. We are entering another period where the System is failing.

        That is what ticks off the Progressives so much and why they want the Constitution thrown out.

      Man is inherently evil. The desire for power is evil.

      John Locke and the FF inspired a document that severely limits the ability of power groups in America to take over. why 50% of the people of this country have forgotten this is a mystery and has allowed a totalitarian element to take hold in the country.

      America IS different from its conception. The two forming documents state that the inherent rights of men come from God and not some arbitrary group of people called the government. This was a first in a monarchial world of 1776.

      Today, the evil forces have succeeded in using the government to chip away at this basic statement:

      The government exists to serve the will of the people, not vice versa.

      • beantownbill. November 4, 2021 at 12:39 pm #

        I disagree, JAZ. The desire for power is not evil, It’s just a manifestation of survival of the fittest that has been in place since the beginning of life on Earth.

        Where the evil part comes in is from the attempt by people to try to better ourselves by invoking a higher power. We have brains, so we were able to understand our nature, but given biology, we have not been successful – yet. In fact, we’ve currently slipped somewhat.as the decay of our nation is obvious.

        Mankind’s great goal ought to be to surpass ourselves. IMO, we should always keep trying.

        • SoftStarLight November 4, 2021 at 12:57 pm #

          I also agree that the desire for power is a natural human inclination definitely related to survival and also ego. Which is why regulation by morality is necessary more or less if there is a wish for ethical outcomes. So I do agree that surpassing ourselves so to speak is a great goal. But, I also must say that invoking a higher power is just as much of a natural human inclination as the desire for power. That is why there has always been religion or spirituality. Again, it seems like how those inclinations are regulated are important in determining what ultimately becomes evil or good. Really I guess it is an argument for government, most particularly self government.

          • beantownbill. November 4, 2021 at 1:52 pm #

            Higher power and spirituality are how our brains are wired. That’s a good thing. It’s like we inherently know there’s more to the universe, and we are connected to it. Mystics have known about this for ages. Governments are shit, but self-government will be the way to go in the future, I hope.

          • JohnAZ November 4, 2021 at 3:57 pm #

            More human death and misery has been caused by individuals seeking power than anything else.

            When the Golden Rule was expressed the first time, I doubt Jesus was talking about power. Do unto others before they do unto you is the Power edition.

            Power people do not give a whit about other people, they will kill maim, destroy whatever it takes to give power to themselves.

            The Deep State in the US is just another recent example.

            In my eyes, that is evil.

      • Jarek November 4, 2021 at 1:19 pm #

        Your mind is still back in the 18th century. The Parties are the play things of the Internationalists. As are the Universities and most academics who interpret the Constitution. Tie the hands of government? So what? You’re still ignoring their right hand. A powerful man can beat you to death with one arm. The Corporations already rule secretly, so you want them to rule openly? They’ll take that.

        After the Battle of Waterloo, Rothschild sent back the message to Britain that Napoleon had won. He had prepared a network that beat the official message. The British economy was ruined and the Rothschilds bought it up. Why did the Monarchy and Parliament allow that? Why didn’t they drive the Rothschilds out? We’re they already secretly out of power? Or just too personally corrupt and allied with the Rothschilds, thus gaining from the collapse?

        • JohnAZ November 4, 2021 at 12:25 pm #

          The vaxx bad response is being covered up and successfully. The medical PTB and the media have been successful at the cover up.

          Why? Initially it was panic, people were clamoring for a solution to a seemingly overwhelming pandemic. The pandemic the PTB and the media created in the first place.

          People still fear this disease. More than the shot.

          Everything I read is very small populations, onesy twosy anecdotes on both sides. The numbers I see are infinitesimally small, hundredths of percents. Both for the disease itself and the vaxx.

          As I have stated before, IMHO, the problem is variability of the immune response from person to person. Also, turning inflammation responses on and off every six months is not good. Heart disease stems from inflammation.

          Joe average does not understand this. He wants something to remove the anxiety of waiting to be hit by a disease that the PTB says can kill him, especially the elderly.

          One thing the vaxx has done is slow down the virus in situ so that serious lethal aspects are lessened, less hospitalizations and deaths. This has removed some of that anxiety. Covid may be endemic now, so vaxx is too.

          It is the responsibility of every Joe Average to make the decision for themselves.

          • SoftStarLight November 4, 2021 at 1:08 pm #

            Why the cover up? I would suggest that you consider that the cover up is an attempt to protect enormous corporate pandemic/vax profits and the newly obtained power that said corporations and government collaborators have been ceded by the public.

          Weaknesses in the heart exist as a variable throughout society.

          Who will react to the vaxx is a mystery. Depending on your source, either a very small percentage of folks are going to react badly or a major part of the population are going to die in the next two years.

          The truth as usual lies somewhere between the extremes.

          • SoftStarLight November 4, 2021 at 1:12 pm #

            And in my mind it seems like when you don’t know something like whether or not the vax is deadly for a very small percentage of the population or a major potion of the population then you don’t vax. You just basically came to the conclusion that many have John that the vax is at the very least a mass experiment.

            You are right in your last sentence. Covid gave the Pharma industry the Avenue to try out the mRNA technology on a large population. Considerable research and cost have gone into this technology, and Covid provided the opportunity for mass testing.

            Right now, cancer cures via mRNA are in work, a flu shot is underway. Other genetic base diseases are being investigated.

            As I have said before, the fear was put into the US by the reaction of NYState and Andrew Cuomo. Considering that the density of elderly in nursing homes spread Covid like wildfire when it was novel and killed 20% of the residents over 80, it is very interesting that Cuomo chose to increase the number of infected folks in the NY nursing homes at this time.

            Democratic conspiracy anyone? If it was otherwise, the vaxx would have brought on scene and introduced to the public voluntarily then spread as it proved itself, starting with over 65.
            The polio and flu shots proved themselves over time.

            Americans are approximately 4.3% of Earth’s population while the Covids are globally affecting not Just that tiny minority of people but also the 95.7% of Earth’s population that is not American.

  154. mitchellc November 4, 2021 at 11:43 am #

    To follow up on my point above, if the struggle for power and control is an eternal, fundamental fact of life, then why are we complaining?

    Furthermore, what exactly are we complaining about? Why is there any faith at all in any institutional myths? (How is national support different from religious belief?)

    From slavery, serfdom, the press/draft, etc, who at any point was actually “free”? The common person was always subject to forced compliance. Teenage boys were forced to stand/advance while canon was directly aimed at their ranks. Break and get shot for cowardice from an officer.

    So, if one finally reaches this conclusion, then why the worry about the Vax? No, not carefree personal submission, but a wholesale embrace as a weapon to be used against the peoples common enemies?

    Of course you won’t shoot yourself, but now that a precedent has been set, why not utilize this power to introduce new and novel ways of defeating those that wish you harm?

    Jim appeals to the sentiment that perhaps we can return to an age of honest consensus in order to meet future challenges facing humanity.

    I think the reverse is true: normals will end up demonstrating to the woke why we ruled the planet. We will meet their bet and double it.

    Force the Vax. It will cause normals to leave both employment and residence. It will initiate the great “sifting”, further creating hard divisions. Most importantly, it will segregate those of sound mind and body as a uniform collective.

It’d be nice if people used their brains – you know, that organ which supposedly gave us more mental power than any other Earthly species.

      “…an eternal, fundamental fact of life, then why are we complaining?”

      Because we are being conditioned to think that we are better than previous iterations of humanity.

      That we are smarter, more in control of our surroundings, more tolerant, less barbaric, and less selfish.

      Answer to all of the above: we are not. In fact, in most ways, we are worse…for thinking so, if nothing else (but there are many other reasons).

      It is modern arrogance, pushed from the top to give the masses a sense of power and common ground, when in reality those elements have long since wilted from the lives of most.

      We’re asked to believe an iPhone in our hand makes us smarter (and all that goes with that mentality), when we all should realize it does the exact opposite.

    No doubt ya’ll have noticed that Aaron Rodgers, Packers QB, has tested positive for Covid and that he is among the “unvaxed.” This means he will have to sit out this weekend’s game with the Chiefs. What a shame. It would have been a matchup of two of the greatest QBs ever… the other being Patrick Mahomes.

    So anyway, when interviewed he didn’t say he was unvaxed but rather he had not been “immunized.” Is there any technical difference between these two words?

    To Rodgers’ credit he mentioned that there are other pro players who have not taken the jab and he supports the right of individuals to make such decisions.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 4, 2021 at 1:26 pm #

      Q –

      Actually, when asked about his vaccination status by reporters he replied, “Yeah, I’ve been immunized.”

      He was likely deflecting and referring to other immune treatments he’d done with his doctor. Or perhaps that he had already had covid and was citing natural immunity. He kept it vague.

      But the wokies are pouncing on him as some redneck who thinks he’s smarter than doctors, or whatever.

            I’m glad you posted this link, Mango, since I could hear with my own ears what Rodgers said. It is a shame he spoke almost under his breath instead of vociferously denying that he was an unvaxed player. Now, as a result, he is going to be sitting out an extremely important game of the season. This pisses me off.

            If Rodgers was “immunized” (which I assume is the same as saying “vaxed”) where did he get the jab and what product was used? Phizer, Moderna, J&J, or whatever. Show us your vaxx record. Did he get a first and second shot? The reporter didn’t follow up on anything.

          ========

          Yeah, you were right, the article said what you said it said. Can’t believe I didn’t pick up on that on my first reading. How in hell can the Times just blow this off. The man himself said the exact opposite of what is being reported. If true, Rodgers is an “immunized” person who has tested positive for Covid, but without symptoms. He is NOT an “unvaccinated” person who has tested positive. The Times did a lousy job of reporting.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 4, 2021 at 2:16 pm #

      The truly annoying part is that no one takes into the account the fact that vaccinated players are tested every 2-3 weeks in the NFL. Unvaccinated players are tested daily.

      Using a test that produces more false positives than true positives, that is clearly designed to “call out” the unvaccinated more often than the vaccinated.

      Also, vaccinated players that test positive are allowed to test again the next day, and if they get two negative tests in a row, they can play that week (just happened with Saquon Barkley this week). But unvaccinated players are not allowed to re-test for eligibility…instead they must quarantine for ten days and then re-test.

      Given the vaccinated and unvaccinated can both contract covid/transmit covid/become ill from covid at the same rates, the system is clearly not in place for “safety”. It is in place to punish unvaccinated players, and publicly.

        Mr. Mango

        You are missing the key detail: As per the CDC the “fully VAXes” are tested using the PCR “gold standard. run at 26 amplifications or not tested at all because they are “fully protected” from the virus..The unwashed heathens who have neglected to protect themselves and the rest of us by getting the Shot are tested using 40 cycles of amplification.

        As Kary Mullis, the Nobel Prize winning inventor of the PCR test repeatedly warned, the PCR test is worthless for medical diagnosis. If you run it at 40 cycles a lamp post will test positive. After Mullis’ death, the Deciders chose the PCR test as the means to define the COvid epidemic because it can be manipulated to provide any result desired for political reasons.

        The purpose of dividing the population into two classes has nothing to do with medicine, science or preventing disease. The Deciders have declared war on the 50% who resist becoming a part of a passive, compliant herd.

      They need the next generation. Or they need them dead. I think it was on Tucker recently and it was either him or one of his guests speaking on the school board and parents rights issues and it was said that the elite essentially view children generally as their property and that is why they do not really even consider that a parent factors in to anything. Certainly not to have any say in what children are being indoctrinated into. It shouldn’t even be allowed for a profit company that experiments on animals and humans and Lord knows what else to put out ads targeting children. But the fact that this is standard business just proves that the worst assumptions about the elite are true.

    Big news out of Glasgow is 40 nations have agreed to close their coal fired power plants. Right away? Included in the list of nations are those that rely on coal to produce most of their electricity, Chile, Poland, Ukraine and so on.

    Big round of applause, including from the media. By why isn’t the media asking about the power those plants generate. How will it be replaced? What will make up for it? After the plants are closed, will utility bills for end users be more, or less? Will service be as reliable as it has been, or should we brace for frequent blackouts and brownouts?

    To my mind these are obvious questions. All of Big American Media is in Glasgow; they seem worthless.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 4, 2021 at 2:19 pm #

      Meanwhile, China is not on board at all. Russia is not on board at all. And India is on board, but, you see, they won’t close their plants until 2070.

      Makes sense to me!

      • SoftStarLight November 4, 2021 at 2:55 pm #

        LOL they will never close their plants or curtail their energy production. They are more or less like real countries that pursue their own good and self interests. The type of countries that participate in things like “Glasgow” are not necessarily countries as much as they are occupied vassal states that mostly govern in spite of at best and at worst directly against the will of the occupied populations.

        India is only pretending to be onboard. If I was a canny national leader who saw through all the climate change BS but still wanted to stay in favour with the globalists, I too would agree to close my coal mines – but in the far distant future when all the CC hysteria will have been forgotten, or we have replaced coal with a RELIABLE alternative.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 4, 2021 at 2:21 pm #

      Big news out of Glasgow is 40 nations have agreed to close their coal fired power plants. Right away?

      Mostly in the 2030s and even the 2040s. And four of the very biggest users (India, China, Australia, and the US) haven’t signed up, so you would need to wonder what the point is.

      There are many statements about weaning the world off coal, but (a it isn’t true really, and (b) what are they going to replace it with? Natural gas is better, but it’s still a fossil fuel and a significant GHG emitter.

      I don’t see Poland or Ukraine or Vietnam being able to build vast renewable infrastructure – they can’t afford the amount required, and they would still buy nearly all of it from China – where it’s been made by cheap and reliable coal-fired energy.

      It’s a funny old world.

    Letter from the American Gulag.

    Dear Fellow Americans –

    I never thought I’d write a letter like this, but we’re living in very different times. This is my cry for help.

    My name is Nathan DeGrave, and as a non violent participant at the Jan 6th rally, I’ve spent the last 9 months detained as a political prisoner in pod C2B at the DC DOC…otherwise known as DC’s Gitmo.

    The conditions here for Jan 6ers have been inhumane. In fact, some inmates are even begging to be transferred to GUANTANAMO BAY, where even THEY have more acceptable standards.

    Class action LAWSUITS are being filed against this prison; and even the ACLU has gotten involved. Senators Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene have since attempted to gain access to this facility and inspect the conditions of the jail, only to be denied.

    The vile filth of what has become our daily life is being illegally HIDDEN from the members of OUR OWN CONGRESS.

    So…let me tell you about what me and many of the other Jan 6ers have been experiencing in DC’s Gitmo. It is my hope that with MEDIA EXPOSURE and the awareness of the American public, that SOMETHING may be done and this never happens to anyone ever again.

    OUR CONDITIONS

    For the first 120 days in DC’s Gitmo, Jan 6ers experienced DAILY LOCKDOWNS for 23-24 HOURS before being allowed to leave our small 120 sq. ft cell. The PHYSICAL and MENTAL ANGUISH that results from this kind of SEVERE ISOLATION has caused many people to go on a RAPID mental decline.

    As a result, a large percentage of us are HEAVILY MEDICATED with anti-anxiety and anti-depressant drugs, which helps to cope with the psychological and mental ABUSE we endure.

    Many times, the little rec we DO receive is STRIPPED AWAY if our cell isn’t up to the standards of the guard on duty. This changes from day to day. Jan 6ers have lost rec time and out of cell activity ANY TIME news interviews about the jail are aired on TV, people speak up about our conditions, or rallies are held in our name. We’ll probably have a lockdown upon the publishing of this letter. So I have already warned those I know in advance..

    Masks are WEAPONIZED and used against us, even though we NEVER leave the facility. Officers have walked in with the SOLE INTENTION of needing to write 20-30 disciplinary reports against Jan 6ers, which adversely effects our chances of release and causes loss of privileges, phone time and commissary. Masks need to be covering both the nose and mouth AT ALL TIMES or we are threatened and locked down in our cells. Jan 6ers are always respectful to the employees around us, but C.Os maintain the need to invent reasons for discipline.

    PRIVILEGED LEGAL DOCUMENTS have been CONFISCATED and gone missing from various cells, and HIGHLY SENSITIVE discovery (video evidence under attorney/client privilege) is watched by employees during our legal calls.

    Jordan Mink, for example, had all discovery TAKEN by ERT officers on August 23rd despite the objection of his attorney. They handcuffed him, searched his room, and then proceeded to take all video evidence in his possession. Additionally, legal visits take 2-3 WEEKS or more to be scheduled, leaving little time to discuss our defense and prepare for trial.

    The EXTREME medical neglect in this facility has caused a variety of adverse illnesses and disease. Some show signs of scurvy. And some even have Covid like symptoms, but medical personnel have refused to treat it.

    Christopher Worrell, for example, is an inmate with Cancer, who also broke his hand in prison and requires surgery. Both have been completely ignored. Federal judge Royce Lamberth got to the point where on October 12th, he filed contempt of court charges against the warden of the DC DOC, claiming that Worrell’s civil rights have been violated, and demanding the U.S attorney general inquire further about his and other possible violations.

    Another inmate, Peter Stager, WAITED FOUR MONTHS to receive his CPAP breathing machine, and has needed an MRI since spring, which has also been ignored by staff.

    The harsh, unlivable conditions of our unit has caused health hazards that defy Department of Health regulations. And on at least five occasions, RAW SEWAGE has overflowed our unit, causing human fecal matter to flood the floors and rooms. That’s also in addition to the MOLD on cell walls, as well as the rusty pipes, and DIRTY WATER that flows from these sinks. White rags TURN BROWN when exposed to the water from our faucets.

    We are undergoing SEVERE NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES and STARVATION. For breakfast this morning, I received a tray of flavorless paste, two slices of bread, and a slice of bologna. Lunches usually consist of rice and beans, but we’ll get cold chicken/beef patties if we are lucky. For dinner, we are sometimes fed a diet of cheese sandwiches, and bologna and cheese 4 to 5 times per week.

    Without commissary, people like myself are FORCED TO STARVE. I suffer from HEADACHES and NAUSEA on an almost REGULAR BASIS from the malnutrition and constant hunger I am subjected to. I have lost ALMOST 15 POUNDS since I’ve been detained.

    Our rights to personal hygiene are also totally neglected. Razors are PROHIBITED, and inmates are forced to either go unshaved, and grow long beards, or use a razor free cream that BURNS and IRRITATES the skin. But many other jails have allowed the use of razors without incident. Haircuts are also PROHIBITED from unvaccinated inmates. For me, it’s been nearly 9 months. I look VIRTUALLY UNRECOGNIZABLE in the condition I’m in. I fear even my family would not recognize me.

    Contact with the outside world, from legal visits to seeing loved ones is HIGHLY RESTRICTED. After in-person visits, legal or otherwise, we are forced to undergo humiliating STRIP SEARCHES, despite ALL visitors being thoroughly checked for contraband. If it’s a legal visit, we are placed in a 14 day quarantine, with no out of cell time; EVEN IF your attorney is VACCINATED and tests NEGATIVE for Covid. Visits with friends or family members, for unvaccinated inmates, are NEVER ALLOWED.

    As a result, many people have skipped critical meetings with their council, and NEVER get an opportunity to see friends or family. VIDEO VISITATION, while available to the rest of the jail, is RESTRICTED in the Jan 6 pod. Mail is delayed for MONTHS, and phone calls are limited to a MAXIMUM of pre approved 12 numbers. If there’s anyone else in our extended family or otherwise we’d like to call, we’re pretty much out of luck.

    RELIGIOUS SERVICES, protected by the 1st amendment, are NOT provided to Jan 6ers. Neither are in person classes or other activities available to the rest of the jail. An inmate named Ryan Samsel, instead attempted to organize his own bible study inside the pod, until he was viciously BEATEN and LEFT FOR DEAD by correctional officers. He suffered a broken eye socket and brain damage as a result of the vicious attack. He’s now permanently blind in one eye. On another occasion, Scott Fairlamb was confronted by an officer in the middle of the night, and his life was threatened, once the officer’s body cam was disabled. Many, like myself, are afraid they could be the next victim.

    And last but not least, we experience racism from many guards on a daily basis, being the ONLY WHITE REPUBLICANS in the entire jail. The false narrative is has been passed around the jail and to corrections officers that we are “white supremacists” (we are NOT). The inmate population is predominantly black, so we are at risk being here because of this false narrative. The guards are mostly liberal migrants from Africa who have been conditioned to hate us, and hate America. Jan 6ers have been mocked, beaten and ridiculed by guards for singing the National Anthem. The Corrections Officers despise our politics and the love we have for this country. At one point, an officer even yelled “FUCK AMERICA!”, and threatened to lock us down FOR A WEEK if we attempted to sing the National Anthem again.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT MY STORY

    Finally, I feel like I should touch briefly on the government and prosecutor’s portrayal of who I am as a person.

    No, I am not a terrorist, extremist or any of the other names I’ve been called by the government. More than anything, I am a red blooded patriot and I love this country more than anything.

    I am being unfairly prosecuted and definitely overcharged. I never assaulted anyone, destroyed property, or stolen anything. I walked through wide open doors to enter the Capitol, along with my camera crew hoping to get the rally on video. I was never even armed at any point inside the Capitol.

    Our goal was to make a documentary, and get likes and shares on social media. Yes I wore a costume (that the prosecutor refers to as paramilitary gear and body armor) but it was for the movie and was nothing of the sort.

    And yet, 9 months later here I sit, with 10 years worth of charges and no hope for a future. The surveillance footage shows absolutely no signs of assault, and despite attempts by media companies to get it released to the public, the government has denied it.

    I think that’s because they are fully aware that this footage is questionable at worst, and exonerates me at best. Please don’t be fooled by the media. I am a loving and peaceful person with no history of violence.

    This weaponized DOJ and their blatant resentment of my respect for President Donald Trump is putting me in a situation that makes me feel helpless in my current situation.

    HOW YOU CAN HELP

    Despite me and other Jan 6ers experiencing these unthinkable conditions, all of us remain POSITIVE and HOPEFUL that, in the end, JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL. We maintain a LOVE for this country and the Constitution like no other. The only thing keeping us going is our undying patriotism, the camaraderie between one another and our faith in God.

    Please…SHARE THIS LETTER with EVERYONE you know: friends and family, senators, representatives, political organizers, civil rights groups and media outlets.

    The truth HAS to get out. And the jail MUST PAY for what they are doing to this country’s citizens.

    As a result of this unlawful detainment the last 9 months, I have lost everything. The successful business I spent 13 years of my life working on, my apartment in Las Vegas, social media accounts with a lifetime of memories…you name it.

    The government has essentially CANCELLED ME. Not only that, but following the arrest, my best friend of 12 years robbed my apartment, stole my cat, and hacked my personal Instagram with 100,000+ followers.

    Since then, I often go between feelings of hopefulness and moments of depression. I wonder if I can ever recover from this, but I have to remind myself to never give up.

    There are major medical complications I now struggle with as a result of the jail’s neglect of my health since being here.

    If there is any way I hope to recover, my only hope are the ones who are reading this. I was on top of the world once upon a time, and that life seems now only like a distant memory.

    If there’s anything you can do to help, I would appreciate anything at all. Inmates here are being extorted with lack of nutrition, forcing me to spend most of what’s left on commissary which I can no longer afford.

    I need desperate help with my legal expenses and just help staying alive in here with commissary and all the expenses I still have on the outside as my livelihood and life has been stripped away from me. Thank you for any her you can afford, even if it is a few dollars it goes a long way in here.

    Sincerely and with love,

    Nathaniel DeGrave

    Jarek: Tucker had a lawyer for some of these guys on last night. Most of these guys can’t afford a good lawyer and hate to rely on public defenders. In Washington DC, that means PC or Wokies who hate their guts. And if you hate someone, you’re probably not going to fight very hard for them, unless you revere the American system and are consecrated to your work. By definition, these people don’t revere the American system. And if they are consecrated to their work, it’s to the work of tearing it down.

    Widest possible distribution please.

    • SoftStarLight November 4, 2021 at 2:48 pm #

      Its very sad and horrific. And Tucker also said that Trump has not really done anything to assist the Jan 6 prisoners. It is also very sad that Louie Gohmert and and Marjorie Greene appear to be the only members of Congress that continue to try to access the DC jail to see the prisoners and even they are prevented from seeing them. Is there any more proof needed that America is an occupied nation controlled by hostile, foreign forces. Most of the guards in the prison are foreigners who appear to enjoy oppressing and mistreating native born citizens.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder November 4, 2021 at 4:08 pm #

        Good point about Trump. He could easily cover (or raise the money for) all their legal costs and raise a big stink about their alleged treatment.

        Now he doesn’t have to do it…perhaps he thinks it may hurt his image for 2024… but he would be wrong in thinking so. He should have supported them from the start, and he certainly should start now.

        • SoftStarLight November 4, 2021 at 5:00 pm #

          Agree. Trump could do more for them than anyone else at this point most likely. But the scary part is how many within the Congress and the federal bureaucracies actually are in consensus on this inhumane treatment. They fully believe these people deserve the treatment they are receiving and that should frighten every person that dissents with this regime to the core. Is this just a preview of what they are going to try to do to people who don’t want the jab?

        • MaryQueen November 4, 2021 at 5:32 pm #

          He won’t touch them, because if he helps them he’s helping ‘domestic terrorists.’

      • Hereward the Woke November 5, 2021 at 8:51 am #

        These are two of Trump’s greatest failings that make me wonder about how serious he is about trying again in 2024 to drain the swamp: his continued support of the clot shot, and his lack of interest in people arrested for turning up at a protest he pushed for.

        People that carjack pregnant mothers at gunpoint these days get off charges and are released back to the streets within days (“crimes of necessity”, you see…)

        Some of these people played the game a little too stupid at the Capitol (forcing through barricades, etc), but indefinite jailing for most of them, mainly for the crime of trespassing, seems a tad unjustifiable to any sane person. The rest of it was a cartoon show created for and by the media. That much was obvious as it was happening.

        They know that the Despocrats:
        -invented a Russian meddling hoax
        -pushed an exploitable mail-in voting scheme
        -pushed a hoax of unbelievable proportions when destroying businesses and civic life with plandemic counter-measures
        -agitated for BLM and Antifa riots and destruction to drum up anti-Trump sentiment
        -rigged an election

        If there were there they knew most of this.

        If they underestimated their enemy, their foolish and stupid.

        If they thought they would bring a country to its knees and perform a coup against a sitting president but wouldn’t frame his most zealous supporters… well, there’s no fixin’ stupid.

          Agree with you that people shouldn’t have been within 500 miles of that rally if they didn’t want to invite trouble into their lives.

          But indefinite detention and intentional maltreatment is Stalinesque and they deserve their rights just like the guy who steals a few TVs from Target…hell, even the guys who push people in front of trains find their way out faster than this.

          If that was an insurrection, the definition of that word has likely changed recently (along with “vaccine”, “herd immunity”, etc.). Of that I wouldn’t be surprised.

          They went to demonstrate against the stolen election. There is nothing illegal about that. It is protected by the Bill of Rights.
          Millions of people have demonstrated over the years. There is no reason they would have thought that the Deep State would set up a false flag. Was that stupid? Maybe naive. But I am as cynical as they come, and it didn’t occur to me. I have been to three anti-war demos in Wash, by the way, without problem. There are demos in Washington, DC every weekend, as I understand it. Why would they realize that the anti-Trump forces would turn on ordinary Americans? That is a whole new level of evil. But they learned pretty quickly. All the other false flags the Deep State tried were unattended by regular Americans.

      from that

      Conclusion
      This investigation of VAERS data reveals several concerning findings which warrant further investigation, but it also leads to questions of why authorities within the USA which are supposed to monitor the safety of the Covid-19 vaccines have not discovered this themselves.

      Why is it that certain batches of the vaccine have proven to be more harmful than others?

      Why is it that certain batches of Covid-19 vaccine have proven to be deadlier than others?

      Why were the majority of the most harmful and deadly Covid-19 vaccines distributed to Republican controlled States across the USA?

      These extremely serious questions require urgent answers.

      • Night Owl November 4, 2021 at 5:03 pm #

        I have a few go-to accounts that have proven reliable over the years.

        I listed some of them a while back.

      • GreenAlba November 4, 2021 at 7:14 pm #

        Slugoon, since you have young children at school, you might want to listen to those interviews with the lawyer, Anna de Buisseret, that Mary first posted, if you haven’t already:

        https://odysee.com/@ResistanceGB:f/Anna-Lawyer-Crimes-Humanity:3

        https://theexpose.uk/2021/11/02/anna-de-buisseret-hold-the-line-stand-your-ground-uphold-the-rule-of-law-step-into-your-sovereignty/

        The first (shorter) one covers the gist of it (and is more atmospheric because it’s filmed in front of the demonstrators milling around!). The second one has more of the legal detail of the actions they’re taking against head teachers, among others (re the use of school premises for ‘vaccinating’ school kids).

        I’ve sent them to my brother, whose wife may or may not still be a school governor, which she has been or was for years after retiring from teaching herself.

        It gave me an excuse to give my brother a shake – he didn’t open the previous links I sent him!

        We’re in a much worse position here. In England ‘only’ about 15% of 12-15-year-olds are vaxxed, because they’re only doing it on school premises. Because we’ve got the psychopathic Sturgeon, kids here can walk into a vaccination centre of their own volition, so it’s over 45% already. And she’s desperate to get the primary school kids done too.

            Understood. Similarly, I had addressed Tom Clark and got called a “hypocrite” for stating that his taking of the Lord’s name in vain is a lazy, careless Commandment break while I did so because it is.*

            Therefore, goose/gander, itchbay.

            *Personally, I have easily kept that simple Commandment since high school in the early 1980s. No hypocrisy here notwithstanding your unrecanted and unproven allegations against me.

        More than that, there are also many who do mental gymnastics to keep the cognitive dissonance at bay.

        I still remember the first time this happened with the CDC and NHS (England) stats. Took only a few minutes to do the math to expose how they were gaming the numbers.

        Many are simply incapable of processing it, even when it is straight from proverbial the horse’s mouth.

          Yes. I tell people my stats are from CDC, not CNN.

          And I get a blank stare. And then they go back to talking about the ‘deadly pandemic.’

          I was just explaining to my mom that less than 1% fatality rate is not a pandemic, by any definition that exists.

          Goes right over the head.

          • Hereward the Woke November 5, 2021 at 8:45 am #

            Mary: at this stage, I don’t think ANYTHING except their own death or deaths of those around them will ever convince them. Look at the news out of Italy today: 97% of China flu deaths were no such thing – “with” rather than “of”. And that’s the same for every country on the planet. Yet still, their eyes glaze over and they chant the refrain “4 Jabs Good, No Jabs bad!”

        • GreenAlba November 4, 2021 at 7:31 pm #

          “More than that, there are also many who do mental gymnastics to keep the cognitive dissonance at bay.”

          Talking of cognitive dissonance, I was collecting links from my various sources to send to my brother (who will not be happy), and came across an update from Mike Yeadon on the Lockdown Planet Film site, this time on fertility issues to do with the vaccines.

          https://rumble.com/vnpw33-michael-yeadon-fertility-and-the-jab-planet-lockdown.html

          I haven’t finished listening to it, but at one point he mentions that he’s spoken to doctors and they’re basically self-censoring one another. One will bring something up and suggest maybe that this or that thing may be worrying/strange or whatever, and the others will chime in and knock it on the head.

          Which is partly what I was saying about my husband and his doctors’ blogs. They’re all busy convincing themselves that everything is normal and people who say anything different are bonkers.

          And, as I mentioned, the blogs are subsidised by Pharma companies. So anyone causing trouble would probably be ‘cancelled’.

          Here’s an example. Believe it or not my husband sent me this not to demonstrate that there’s censorship happening, but to ostensibly show me an example of a bonkers doctor.

          https://twitter.com/bill963?lang=en

          The accompanying text (from another doc on the blog) was:

          “‘If you think the other post shouldn’t have been shut down- scan his Twitter feed- which includes the belief that in 2019 the flu vaccine included a coronavirus vaccine and that ivermectin resolved his symptoms in 6 hours so is an effective cheap antiviral as well as breaking doctors nets Ts and Cs.
          [link text]

          He is a Leaver (I presume Brexiteer) and climate change denier as well.’”

          The doc in question was cancelled from Twitter and from Doctors Net.

            That is really interesting. I can see why they do it. It would be too psychologically damaging to admit to themselves that they are participating in an experiment that is harming millions of people, so they have to deny it.
            I’m sure there is a label for this, but I’m blanking on it.
            Maybe just ”denial”, but it seems far more than that at this point.

          • MaryQueen November 4, 2021 at 8:14 pm #

            I played that Anna de Bruisseret interview in his hearing and it caused a brief altercation. 🙂

            Not that he heard much of it as he got up and left the kitchen!

          • GreenAlba November 4, 2021 at 9:30 pm #

            Paula: my husband isn’t even participating (thank goodness) as he works in an acute/out of hours GP service. So he has nothing to reproach himself with in that sense because he never had anything to do with the vaccination programme.

            That makes me wonder why he’s so terrified of acknowledging what’s going on. With him I think it’s mostly the echo chamber thing, but also his psyche isn’t invulnerable (I mentioned he had a brother who committed suicide decades ago – and he himself was diagnosed, rightly or wrongly, with bipolar disorder shortly after that happened, although he’s not been taking medication for it since before I met him).

            But they don’t all have that excuse. I can see that your theory would work with those who are participating. That’s what I think too.

          • Hereward the Woke November 5, 2021 at 8:43 am #

            GA: I do feel sorry for you (and your hubbie). The psychological gyrations people go through to justify the jab are incredible. It’s a very human thing that we all engage in: denial and diversion can hold off reality. At least for a while anyway. We are seeing the next stage in the game right now with hospitals in the US and Australia (UK too?) with youngish, healthy people suffering from “unknown” ailments. Of course, the true believers will try and pass this off as something else, but eventually even the most died in the wool people will have to face the reality that the jabs are killers. In the meantime, we have to take a deep breath and tread on egg shells with our loved ones.

    Every now and then I swing by a few political sites to see how the faithful are reacting.

    It typically makes me ponder the meaning of ‘hope springs eternal’. Admittedly, it’s mainly the young who both vehemently complain, but also cling to the promise of change.

    I saw one person note that we are past peak oil, and that the true intent is to establish baseline legal precedents, policies and mandates to manage a future die off.

    The responses were fairly typical denials, which suggests that thinkers still have a clear advantage in setting the prevailing narrative.

    However, while one can clearly continue to practice ignorance, it is also true that you cannot escape the consequences of those decisions.

    So, just be aware there are countless number who still perceive current events thru the lens of political rivalry. Enjoy your advantageous position as someone who figured it out (and hopefully prepared) far in advance of the madding crowds.

    • Soul Forensics November 4, 2021 at 8:21 pm #

      “The madding crowds”, taken from Thomas Hardy’s novel, Far From the Madding Crowd.

      Polar opposite world then: same culture and small communities (circa 1870) for three hundred years.

      The heroine, a smart woman, has three suitors:

      (1) A dashing, philandering soldier from out of town (in today’s context: race invader)

      (2) A dull, unimaginative, plodding and persistently assertive, wealthy land-owner (in today’s context: central banker)

      (3) A faithful, patient, lone wolf farmer who actually cares about the land and the heroine (in today’s context: non-conformist, living-off-the-land background man, well respected in the community).

      In an unusual and surprisingly happy ending, Hardy (the eternal pessimist) has the heroine choosing (3) after her excited and naive dalliance with (1) and the sudden death of (2) by the hand of (1).

      It gives hope for me — like Hardy, a natural pessimist — that something similar could happen here, though on a much more globally complex and tragic stage, of course.

      • GreenAlba November 4, 2021 at 8:37 pm #

        ““The madding crowds”, taken from Thomas Hardy’s novel, Far From the Madding Crowd.”

        Hardy took the title from Gray’s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, a favourite of mine (and of many others).

        “Far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife
        Their sober wishes never learn’d to stray;
        Along the cool sequester’d vale of life
        They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.

        “https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44299/elegy-written-in-a-country-churchyard

        “Let not Ambition mock their useful toil,
        Their homely joys, and destiny obscure;
        Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile
        The short and simple annals of the poor.

        The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow’r,
        And all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave,
        Awaits alike th’ inevitable hour.
        The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

        But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page
        Rich with the spoils of time did ne’er unroll;
        Chill Penury repress’d their noble rage,
        And froze the genial current of the soul.

        Full many a gem of purest ray serene,
        The dark unfathom’d caves of ocean bear:
        Full many a flow’r is born to blush unseen,
        And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

        Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast
        The little tyrant of his fields withstood;
        Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest,
        Some Cromwell guiltless of his country’s blood. …

    The vaccine narrative has been changing over time.
    Singapore has some of the highest vaccine rates in the world and they are now seeing 3300 new cases a day which is way up from just a couple of months ago.
    Tell us more about what the vaccine actually does besides make pFizer richer?
    How much of a kick back is the big guy going to get?
    We all know this is about money and control and not peoples health and safety if it was the brakes would have been slammed on months ago for vaccine injuries.

      And also that whole new vax mandate here with OSHA enforcement and all..well funny enough the mandate does not even allow for workers comp claims for vaccine injuries. Seriously. And supposedly they care about safe workplaces and health. Their criminals

          Hopefully that is the case but then look at the courts. Definitely do not trust many judges to do the right thing. And the optics of it is very ugly just like the regime. Nasty, inhuman, and outrageous. They are very open that they simply do not care if you have an adverse reaction.

            A lot of cases have been dropped, according to someone I was listening to the other day, because courts know there is no legal basis for any of this. I think it will take a LOT of cases to get them to back down.

    I sent the jan 6 letter out to everybody that hasn’t explicitly told me to cease and desist. I had one strong rebuke. Told me to take him off my email list. Admittedly his wife had said the same to me during the canadian elections, so it was a dumbish move on my part.
    But, this guy is smart, a journalist, and when I got that response it proved for me the ” forced delusion” that Father Rodrigues talks about. Because this is a good guy, good dad, good.
    So, I took it to church, and sat there, and prayed some, but mostly for those guys in prison and the dead and injured and deluded.

    Once the rain starts where I am, it never stops.
    When I came out the sun was shining and it was warm like a late spring day. I did some errands and went the beach where I saw 2 women in their 70 s go for a swim on the lea side where it’s more protected. Only 1 wore a wet suit!
    On the open ocean side the water was brown and roiling. I hung out for awhile, soaked up the sun and watched the clouds. Gr8 day.

            You have totally misrepresented me yet again, Mary.

            I was speaking specifically about you fragging me – not everyone and every discussion here on CFN.

            In fact, EF recently pointed out that I once called him “an idiot” and, although not remembering the incident, I immediately apologized to him and told him that I would try to do Better in the future.

            I do take accountability when proven Wrong, Mary. Like a man.

            —–

            You, on the other hand, basically say to me, “I fragged you but if you complain about it then you are a child. Either quietly accept my abuse or you are a ‘nutbar’ ‘loony'” while you take no responsibility for your words, child.

            “Attack! Attack! Attack!”

            —–

            No, you do not “have that right,” Mary. Again. I look forward to a Truce and ignoring you completely. I have no issues with anybody else here on CFN but you and a Truce will alleviate that.

            I fear that it will be difficult, however. You are such a narcissist that you were insulted when I spoke of depraved women at an Satanic orgy like it had anything to do with you!

            I shit you not. Narcissist.

            —-

            I no longer expect either an apology or a recant from you, Mary. Please respect our Truce and leave me alone while I do the same. Thank you.

            —–

            Jim, yet again, I apologize as I want to discuss serious matters here on CFN with the many intelligent people who post here.

    “As we take another look at the sins of our historical figures, we’ve also had to take a hard look at our more immediate past and present, including the behavior of the creators of pop culture,” Boylan wrote. “That reassessment extends now to the people who wrote some of our best-loved songs.”

    Well, the media put out today that 24 states are surging with Covid.

    Uh huh, total BS.

    I looked at the spectrum of states, about 30, on the John’s Hopkins trend chart and lo and behold, the media is full of it. Not one of the thirty is surging, north, south East or west.

    The trends are interesting though, because there are none. With the exception of three states, California, Texas and Florida, all the states I looked at were level with the daily amounts in a tight distribution along the seven day running average. The three mentioned had down turning quantities.

    Now –

    This does not make sense to me. At this stage, why are things not surging or declining. This is supposed to be a huge communicable disease it should be increasing geometrically, 1 begets 2, begets 4, begets 8, etc. Not happening. I am trying to model a transmission model in my mind for a level response, ie the same amount last week, this week or next week. It is like something has put a throttle on the transmission in public? There is a spigot that is allowing only the same amount every week.

    ???? How do we force further reductions in the case rate?

    What is limiting the rise of the surges, are we getting closer to herd immunity?

      If you have a pretty good percentage of the population fully vaccinated, then the R0 of the virus drops below 1.0, and cases decline over several weeks. That is the medical science – where is the mystery in all this? Cases will decline.

      • O.G. Hawkins November 5, 2021 at 5:50 am #

          That would be True if the “vaccines” actually prevented or even reduced infections and transmission.

          Of those who require hospitalisation, then ICU, and then die – the overwhelming majority remain the unvaccinated – despite the fact that a majority of the population are now fully vaccinated.

          It seems that the vaccines do work to prevent you getting the infection in the first place, and reducing your need for hospitalisation if you do in fact get infected. That’s what the stats say anyway.

      Jaz, maybe try the peak stupidity graph. When the hockey stick reaches a point just short of infinity, the whole thing blows.

    The ultimate Karen.

    I suspect that we will be seeing more and more Karens.

    • SoftStarLight November 5, 2021 at 4:00 am #

      No. The new order will displace the Karens. They shall be replaced by patient, polite, and fashionable flight attendants. Big smiles. Please make sure your seat backs and folding trays are in their full upright position. Thank you! Captain. We’re ready for takeoff!

      Where is she not wearing a coffee filter?

      • Night Owl November 5, 2021 at 6:44 am #

        Why 🙂

          Karen is asked that by another passenger. She replies that she has asthma.

    LOL. Look at this idiocy. Anyone thinking that this stuff is not a deliberate psychological attack on all of us has lost the plot.

      Hi. I’m Pete. I’m an anti-Bolshevik colonizer, and human/neanderthal hybrid. I’ve got dark brown hair, and an oversized penis.

      I go by Sir, or Boss.

      I’m changing my personal pronouns such that, when my boss is referring to me, they’ll be speaking in the first person… for example;

      “You” are responsible for X becomes “I” are responsible for X or “We” are responsible for X.

    On anger. When I rage, I lose my power. If I keep my rage inside it poisons me. I used to have a super clean place, when I raged I cleaned. Now my place is a disaster. I have never been organized, but now it’s dirty too. So I have a disordered life. But this I prefer to the rage.
    Anger is an energy, but properly focused it is power. I take it upstairs, like yesterday with the jan 6th martyrs, and a tiny slight.

    If I attack people in my own company, do I not then work for the enemy?

      I don’t know, yelling is quite therapeutic for me. My neighbors don’t like it, but they’ve learned to deal with it. It’s even worked a my j-o-b, where back while I was still working onsite, I got my own out-of-the-way office. My rep got around widely, but since I’m pretty good at what I do, they accommodated it.

      • anmariwakaranai November 5, 2021 at 11:25 am #

        Good point d. I gotta wonder though just how much better you would be at your job if you diverted that rage into creation.

    Organic anger and rage is natural and healthy. As long as one doesn’t interfere with the energy — hold it, harbour it, increase it, and most importantly, nurse it and get it caught in a constant feedback loop — then it’s all good. Almost everyone, just like with any ‘negative’ emotion, can’t let it go, though.

    […] The hand in play for the moment is the spending legislation proposed by “Joe Biden.” It would generate a whole helluva lot more helicopter money from nowhere for nothing, and would theoretically keep the game going a little bit longer — except the process will only generate more unwanted entropy, causing decay in the value of that “money” and canceling the desired effect of spreading it around. That’s called inflation. If the value of money drops hard and fast, that is called hyperinflation. It would be politically and socially devastating, and probably lead to the downfall of the government. The net effect would be a nation bankrupt at all levels and that will segue into an epic economic depression. […]
