Actually, Progressive-Liberal abortion policy never went far enough. If only abortion were retroactive! We could send “Joe Biden” (and maybe all of Wokedom) back to the pre-embryonic cosmic darkness preceding conception? Otherwise, we’ll have to run him out of the Oval Office like some short-timer Guatemalan generalissimo, since he has completed the transition of the USA into a Third World backwater… and thus, served his purpose.

Was that it, by the way? Was “Joe Biden” a kind of suicide bomber sent into the White House overtly by dimly-perceived parties to blow up the ragged remnants of a once-dignified republic? There’s a cohort of observers, including many sage commenters on this blog, who would say so. One way or another, Ol’ White Joe’s days at the helm are numbered now. Even the claque of quasi-literate brown-nosers in the news media are turning on him since he glanced at his watch too many times while the dead marines’ bodies were rolled out before him at Dover AFB. At least he didn’t yawn or light a cigarette, too.

These cool and lovely, pre-Fall nights, Kamala Harris must be chugging Gray Goose by the liter, chasing  her Xanax, up at the Veep’s mansion, the old Naval Observatory, probably the nicest house she’ll ever live in because she’s not ever moving into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., nosiree. The parties dimly-perceived behind all this … this meshugas… got it so wrong with her. She was supposed to be an insurance policy against removing “JB,” while he acted as an automatic legislation signing machine.

But it’s rock-and-a-hard-place time now for the power players in our nation’s capital, and I’m thinking that Kamala’s thinking that they’re thinking that maybe Kamala has to go, too… and maybe not in a pretty way… like maybe something goes wrong on Air Force Two a hundred miles east of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic en route to Botswana… and the long-awaited official meet-and-greet with President Mokgweetsi Masisi… which never happens…. Wake up Kammie!!!! Oh no, it’s even worse than a bad dream, she’s thinking. It’s reality!

Those parties dimly perceived surely think they can get away with anything now. There is no accountability, nor any memory of what it used to mean. Things just happen and unhappen, like in some raw, pre-conscious nasty-and-brutish animal kingdom, which is exactly what our country has become when you factor-in mass Woke lobotomization, meth and fentanyl addiction, social media mind-fuckery, and Covid hysteria. Klaus Schwab, you are taking this a little too far now, yes? It’s one thing to own nothing and be happy, but to remember nothing, too? That compliant surviving population of a half-billion serfs you wish to reserve to peel your grapes won’t even be able to carry out the simplest instructions. Something has gone very wrong with your Great Reset… if that’s what this is.

I prefer to label it the long emergency, simply the endgame of the techno-industrial hypertrophic phase of history. You could see it coming from a hundred months away, but now that it’s here, Western Civ has turned from tragedy to farce to psychosis. The pharmaceutical lobbying group known as the American Medical Association called this week for an “immediate end” to the use of ivermectin to treat Covid-19. They forbid member doctors to prescribe it. They follow the CDC and the FDA in condemning the drug, sentencing it to the ducking stool… burning it at the stake! “Use of ivermectin for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 has been demonstrated to be harmful to patients,” they say.

They lie, of course. And they want all the doctors to lie. How many of them will go along to get along? Do they care if this psychotic nonsense destroys what remains of medical practice just as race-and-gender studies have destroyed higher ed? One not-so-distant day the docs will show up for work, but the overgrown hospitals will be out of business, doors shuttered, and the docs will be back to making house-calls with a little black bag… no more German cars for you… and maybe a chicken in exchange for a little bootleg Ivermectin, if you’re lucky! As it happens, I take the veterinary-grade Ivermectin myself as a prophylactic, because that’s all you can get easily around here. I haven’t felt better in years. Perhaps I had pinworms (Enterobius vermicularis). Anyway, I don’t have Covid. I also take Vitamin D3 and zinc. Anathemize that, you chiseling bastards!

Everybody I consort with has had enough of the whole nauseating game — the lying politicians, the lying media, the lying medical bureaucrats, the lying generals, the lying teachers, the lying celebrities, the lying tech moguls, the entire armature of counter-reality you want to impose on a once-fair land. We will never do your bidding. We will never peel your grapes. There are more of us than you. Go ahead, push just a little bit harder.

    AMEN! I suspect that is the real plot. They’re are trying to provoke a reaction from the outraged citizens of America who still love their country. Hence the humiliating spectacle of the Afghanistan exit, which is such an insult to the soldiers who gave so much of themselves to that war. They are trying to provoke a reaction so that they can turn it into another Jan-6 type of propaganda stunt which they can then use as justification for subsequent heavy handedness…”See.. we have a right-wing threat which needs to be quashed and to this end, we will unleash a China-style surveillance police state. It’s all for our own safety!”

    I say Americans should give it to them. Assail them, drag them out of their gated communities and nonsense jobs in office buildings, tie them up to the pyre and burn them. Drag every fascist Antifa thug out of his home and send him to a concentration camp. Drag every feminist out of her cushy college lecture theater, and sell her to Saudi Arabia as a sex slave. Let her learn what a real patriarchy is. And so on and so forth for every other variant of the leftist virus – ie the ACTUAL pandemic which has been consuming society.

      Maybe be the grey man just a little longer? I’m sensing a hardening of attitudes amongst some people who are tired of this whole Covid hustle and that will only extend to other such frauds in time. They’ve got the floor, allow them their mistakes.

      • Islander September 3, 2021 at 9:42 am #

        Agree.

        Watch and wait.
        Wait and watch.

        Don’t make yourself a target.

        Meanwhile there are beach plums to pick and other realism-based calming things even those who lack gardens can do while feeling gratitude to be still alive.

        Epigraph on gravestone of 17th C woman:

        “These I saw /
        Look ye also while life lasts.”

        • Slugoon September 3, 2021 at 10:02 am #

          Thanks, Islander. Just looked up the full text of that epitaph. Beautiful.

            The Wonder of the World

            From the old stone
            The carven words reproach me,
            Beside the rows of quiet dead:

            The wonder of the world,
            The beauty and the power,
            The shapes of things,
            Their colors, lights and shades,
            These I saw.
            Look ye also
            While life lasts.

            Earth, air and upper air,
            Earth, air and water I knew,
            And the sun on my face.
            The voices of women and men,
            The shouting of children,
            These I knew.
            Harken ye, also.
            Drink while life lasts
            The wine of astonishment.

            So spoke the stone.

            The seven lines of the second stanza are taken from an old Swedish gravestone, and are quoted by Olaus J. Murie of Moose, Wyoming.

            — Janet Loxley Lewis (for a choral piece by Alva Henderson, Autumn, 1979)

            A beautiful, woman’s perspective. But he was talking about fighting. Women typically know nothing about that – but it makes possible all that they love.

            The poem is by Denys Watkins Pitchford

            The wonder of the world
            The beauty and the power,
            The shapes of things,
            Their colours, lights and shades,
            These I saw.

          Seemed to work pretty well since it made the world’s most powerful military, who has F-15s and nukes, cut and run.

            Does anyone know how I can get ahold of veterinary-grade Ivermectin? I don’t own any horses.

            @ outsider

            It has been freely available in any Tractor Supply or feed store unless someone there has taken it upon themself to police the customers. If you’re not used to buying it, educate yourself before you come in so you don’t look like…….well, someone who doesn’t own a horse! In my locale there are all sorts of warning signs on the display now, telling us not to take it for Covid etc. Please wait til you turn blue and your blood oxygen level is 70 and then go to the hospital,for treatment…….

          • bluedog September 3, 2021 at 3:26 pm #

            Lol now that depends on upon the world’s most powerful military which is the figment of someone’s imagination and Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan is more than proof of that, it’simply propaganda to make the people think they are getting something for all those billions/trillions that they shovel into the MIC. If you want to look at the greatest military power in the world today look to Russia, they have weapons that we only dream about and no their armed forces aren’t loaded up with homosexuals.

        • Hereward the Woke September 3, 2021 at 2:26 pm #

          Disagree, Islander. As Solzhenitsyn said, you have to oppose the fascists at the beginning. Make them fear for their lives. No more gray, just black or white.

          • Soul Forensics September 3, 2021 at 3:37 pm #

            Yes, Solzhenitsyn said even a minority standing strong and fighting back, in the beginning, would’ve been enough to turn the bureaucrats (who were never on board ideologically) to their side.

            The Cheka, and even the NKVD, let some of the biggest shit disturbers go at the outset, concentrating on the weak, fearful, and silent instead.

          • Islander September 3, 2021 at 5:17 pm #

            HI, Hereward,

            I don’t disagree with you.

            But there is timing.

            I don’t mean watch and wait forever.

            But for now I think that is the thing to do.

            Small example: I am glad I “waited” with the jab. Relevant data are piling up.

            I am watching to see whether/when insight breaks out in portions of the American public. Meanwhile I know of a few in my community who are refusing the jab. Not sure how sophistictaed they are politically, however (Christian Scientists).

            So, for now, for me, it’s watch and wait/ wait and watch.
            Also, I am on my own and must take care of myself first, actually.

          • Vegas Nuclear Dude September 3, 2021 at 8:02 pm #

            I guess it comes down to whether the NPCs will really rise up. I believe most will.

          • Yohannon September 3, 2021 at 9:05 pm #

            The Fascists fought the Globalists and their antifa goons long ago in Germany, Italy, and Spain.

            But still the Red triumphed as per your language. Two generations after Franco saved Spain, most people thought he was bad guy. Education. They didn’t purge the schools.

          • mumbai September 4, 2021 at 2:09 am #

            You first and then hope your mug mates follow.

          • ATM September 4, 2021 at 10:10 am #

            Exactly. The worst thing you can do is lay low and wait.

            By the time they get to you your friends will all have been long gone and you will go without a fight.

            They need to fear for their survival every second of every day.

          • IpFreely September 5, 2021 at 7:04 pm #

            How? Armed revolution? Nationwide strike? I’m willing to go all in, I haven’t got long to live anyway, but who’s with me?

      • Alexander September 3, 2021 at 12:20 pm #

        I agree. The only way to win this con-game is to not play it — at least to the extent that we can still maintain our lives. I have as little as I can to do with the system that is designed to suck me into a vortex of fear and fecklessness. So I move aside and watch the system implode from not only my disengagement, but that of millions of other folks who see through the lies and are willing and able to re-direct their energies and activities into more-wholesome (and more-separate) lives.
        The almost-worst thing we could do is get trapped into counter-lies, instead of exercising our integrity with stand-alone truths. The worst thing would be to fight back on the system’s own terms and advance the totalitarian-suppression agenda as “domestic terrorists.” What a set-up!

        • GG September 3, 2021 at 2:33 pm #

          For those wanting a doc to prescribe human grade Ivermectin, go to http://www.covid19critical care.com. There is a list of docs there, some licensed in all states. We just signed up and ran it thru our local GP and he blessed it and even offered to prescribe it himself if we wanted him to. He was more interested in the second prescription for fluvoxamine maleate we got for immediate use in case of infection. Our local doc thought it was a good idea.

          • oilie September 3, 2021 at 4:24 pm #

            Same site, with a list of physicians. I obtained a prescription from one for $115 that was filled at a local pharmacy in two hours. You might want to call your pharmacy and verify that they can fill he prescription at an affordable price before selecting an online doctor.

          Maybe get in touch with Dr Stella Immanuel, a Houston doctor who spoke at a Michigan ReAwaken rally on 20 August, suggesting America’s health problems were linked to alien DNA and sperm from demons?

    • O.G. Hawkins September 3, 2021 at 10:18 am #

      It is telling, vis-a-vis how far we have come, when the Pro-Freedom side is also clamouring for Concentration Camps.

      • oswegatchie September 3, 2021 at 12:12 pm #

        So maybe we can have 2 sets of camps. No intermingling though. Not healthy.

        • oswegatchie September 3, 2021 at 12:17 pm #

          Talking about camps, there are a bunch of FEMA trailers and various RV’s sitting in a field about 3 miles north of Reedsport, Oregon. They have been there for at least a year now. They are behind a security fence and always have 1 or more ” authority” figures within the area. Anyone else seen anything strange like that around other parts of the former USSA?

          • tresho September 3, 2021 at 2:22 pm #

            In Jan. 2009 I drove across northern LA on my way to Amarillo, TX, and passed a huge lot of trailers (all identical, no logos) and some RV’s, spanning many acres along the interstate. I presumed this was a collection of leftover emergency shelters from Katrina in August 2005.

    • DrTomSchmidt September 3, 2021 at 10:31 am #

      Why do you call it humiliating? It was glorious, if you no longer feel any attachment to the regime in DC. It was certainly humiliating for them. Apparently you don’t need tanks, airplanes, and nuclear weapons, contra Joe Biden, to defeat that regime. Commitment, morale, and AK47s will do.

      They do really want an armed uprising here, though: that they WILL put down with force. People walking away and letting things collapse slowly in the public sector they cannot do anything about. I hope that idea,or a general strike, becomes more fixed in people’s minds.

      • JTinMD September 3, 2021 at 10:37 am #

        Did you see how young those Taliban were? Must have been indoctrinated from toddlerhood. Kinda like our youth, only with a slightly different flavor. Same end game, though — strict obedience, or else.

        • DrTomSchmidt September 3, 2021 at 11:52 am #

          Young men are natural fanatics. If the fanaticism is lucky enough to find an enemy to focus against, they will defeat it. They are dangerous, as they are here in random violence.

          The man who organizes them will win much. Won’t be me.

          • thirdcoastlegend September 3, 2021 at 2:52 pm #

            Young USSA males may be mental fanatics.

            However, it is also true most of them are physically effeminate wimps.

          • Blackbird September 3, 2021 at 9:12 pm #

            USSA males are mental fanatics about one thing.

            Afghani males are fanatical about their people, their faith, their future – and personal glory. I’m not too enthusiastic about their religion, but I do respect their commitment.

        • oswegatchie September 3, 2021 at 12:02 pm #

          Indoctrinated from toddlerhood. Much like here except I would put my few dollars left on 10 of their youth against 1000 of ours. They appear strong, healthy, and determined. Need I point out the sad state of ours over here?

          • zenfugue September 3, 2021 at 2:24 pm #

            What would our youth fight back with, their video games?

          • tresho September 3, 2021 at 2:25 pm #

            “Indoctrinated from toddlerhood. ” And so are we all. Some of this indoctrination is useful — some of the time and for some of the people. . A very few can do more & better than they have been indoctrinated to do. A vast overestimation of our individuality and freedom of choice is the rule for most of the human race. No news, this.

        • Islander September 3, 2021 at 4:48 pm #

          Many Taliban grew up as refugees in orphanages in Peshawar, Pakistan, after the departure of the USSR from Afg. There they came under the influence of Wahhabist teachers/missionaries/fanatics from Saudi Arabia.

          Maybe SA was actually funding these orphanages.

          • mumbai September 4, 2021 at 2:21 am #

            No ‘maybe’ about it – it was the compact between the ISI & the CIA, Saudis pay, the ISI makes it clear that they only get to play with their toys north of Quetta and the CIA gets the heroin.
            Win-Win-Lose. Bigly.

      • Paul September 3, 2021 at 11:42 am #

        “They do really want an armed uprising here, though: that they WILL put down with force.”

        Aye to that. Instead of Commitment to the AK47, why not exercise Commitment to a conscious and steady withdrawal from everything that is unnecessary?

        It would be a kind of conservation of human-energy, and of course it would start with individuals. . .

        • DrTomSchmidt September 3, 2021 at 11:50 am #

          That’s been my approach. I have already decided that they’re going to try to steal my retirement dollars. I’ll make some arrangements to make that harder… but it’s coming. As to the rest: I’ve found through Covid that I don’t need much. If food supply gets cut off, I’m in trouble after a while. I’m ok with that.

          I’m not ok with submission to their wills.

          • oswegatchie September 3, 2021 at 12:07 pm #

            I am thinking of taking what savings I have left and investing it on some land somewhere that is somewhat still free in America. And whatever else that lakes sense such as bicycle parts, good hiking and work shoes, ect. ect. Better than losing it in a dollar crash.

        Any word on what happened to the 60s back to the land hippies?
        Those who bought then are sitting on multi millions – if they sell before paper money becomes useful as kindling.

        • U R IntheVillage September 4, 2021 at 12:02 pm #

          The back-to-the-land-hippies of the ’60’s-’70’s mostly wimped out after the experiment. They discovered that farming is a lot of work, especially without diesel powered cultivators and combines and cornpickers. The communes of all types failed after it was apparent that there was a natural inclination for 80% of the members to do at best 20% of the work.

          The 20% that did the work looked around and said “Fuck it,” and they left. Then the 80% that remained said “Fuck it, the people that did all the work just left.”

          Surprise, surprise. But there were some genuine entrepreneurs among the hippies. They gradually shed the external semiotics of hippiedom like going around barefoot and shirtless with unmanaged shoulder length hair and untrimmed beards, and put their shoulder to the wheel and founded things like Apple and Jansport.

          Some may even have stuck it out as real farmers and eventually sold out to an REIT or the Boswell’s. They now live in gated communities or on large swaths of unspoiled land in Northern California or Oregon. They are Sultans of the NIMBY folk. “Save the redwoods,” after their decks are built. &c.

            A short history of the back-to-the-land movement.

            When I was in training for the Peace Corps I became friends with a young couple who had gotten married the week before they shipped out. We went off to different countries in Latin America and lost touch.

            A few years later I was buying rice in the local co-op in Eugene Oregon when who should be behind the counter but my friend! Turns out he had been Poverty Program Director for Marin County California. (the richest county in CA) He and a group of like minded friends were buying land in the Coast Range in order to raise organic vegetables (pot) and communally raise their kids free of public school brainwashing. They asked me to come look at their land and advise the best locations to plant on. Upon inspecting it I told them the land was so sour it would barely raise thistles., That wasn’t really a problem because they were now into acid rather than pot.

            Flash forward a couple of years and I was selling a little duplex I’d remodeled and lived in during graduate school. Who should call but my friend who was now a realtor/property developer. His wife had slept through all the members of both sexes in the commune before leaving to Portland with a software developer and taking the kids with her.

          During Peace Corps training we played a game called “Who is the Spook?” The most skilled one nobody fingered– he simply didn’t show up for the plane to Bogota. Once I got to Colombia the game was no longer a challenge because the CIA spooks were so inept that they might as well had signs on their backs.

            Listen to yourselves! One person’s outrage and frustration boils over, as is bound to happen in times like these, and you accuse him of being a plant.

            Please read what I wrote below in response to U R IntheVillage. Peaceful resistance probably WON’T work. Do you know why? Because the radicals in office now began their careers with peaceful resistance. Remember all the civil rights protests, the placard waving, the masochistic lying down in front of tanks, the self-handcuffing to oil pipelines and stuff like that? They know the game better than anyone else. They will understand the motives of whoever decided to protest peacefully and will deal with them swiftly BEFORE they become nuclei of discontent who might attract a following. They will NOT make the same mistake as their predecessors: they will NOT be tolerant and allow dissent.

      • shox September 4, 2021 at 1:36 am #

        @U R IntheVillage

        I’m no plant. Been following Kunstler since 2005. I’ve just lived in parts of the world where the Marxist-Leninist subversion of society has run its full course, until society and the human spirit, not to mention the economy and the nation’s standing on the world stage, are completely destroyed. I’ve lived it and felt it in my own skin, whereas Americans who have never set foot outside America treat it as a mere intellectual abstraction. They have a “It could never happen here” attitude.

        If people are not prepared for an armed uprising, there is ONLY ONE conclusion to this story: the Democrats, if not checked by an equal and opposite force which is backed by arms, will, to use Kunstler’s somewhat excessive words in this blog post “…[complete] the transition of the USA into a Third World backwater.”

        Come back to reality. Think about things seriously…

        They were brazen enough to defraud an entire presidential election on a scale never before seen. They spew lies and propaganda non-stop and keep the perception alive in people’s minds that 2+2=5 (speaking figuratively of course). They will even push a hastily-developed and dangerous vaccine upon the population whilst suppressing better, cheaper and more effective treatments. They will exaggerate the COVID threat in order to prolong lock-downs and in so doing destroy the economy. They will open the floodgates at the border, allow hordes of human beings to pour in and submerge Americans, destroying what little self-respect they have left. And they will accuse anyone who points it out as being a “Great-Replacement” conspiracy theorist; all the while they know in their hearts that the Great Replacement is real and necessary for them to stay in power.

        And you really think that they will respect peaceful resistance? Have you forgotten that the radicals who are now in office used to protest in the streets and lie down in front of tanks and APC’s in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s? They know that game VERY well. They will NOT be dumb enough to let others play it once they’ve come to office. They will step on you like cockroaches.

        Take my advice. Lose weight, train your body for the rigors for war and then prepare for the worst. Don’t put all your eggs in the peaceful-resistance basket.

        • U R IntheVillage September 4, 2021 at 12:44 pm #

          Speaking completely in the abstract, of course, history suggests that authoritarian regimes do not fall until the agents of state security (i.e., the military, the police) rebel against the regime. In some hypothetical country where leftist authoritarians had taken over the government, for example, they may be aware of this and undertake to root out all the members of the state security apparatus who might be sympathetic to a movement that might be considered “restorationist,” for example. A return to some prior conventions.

          In such a hypothetical country with a hypothetical leftist authoritarian government, the public at large going kinetic early may simply be a path to martyrdom. The key to success in such a hypothetical country might be an effort to educate the young, especially those who enlisted themselves in the state security apparatus out of patriotic support for the atmosphere of freedom that existed prior to the leftist takeover, for example.

          In such a hypothetical circumstance, targeted words and education may have to most “bang for the buck.” In other words, using a term whose meaning has been perverted, get the young people to “wake the fuck up.”

          Speaking hypothetically.

          That was ill-conceived and became a disappointing non-event. Not wishing to inconvenience regular people, they left a lane open. If they try it again, they should just leave their trucks after removing a small, single part in the hydraulics, putting it in their pockets and leaving.

            You can win hostile work environment cases or settle for $$ but you have to take copious notes. That’s how I won mine. Document everything. Also, you have to go to HR (if you have one) and then document it when they do nothing as they usually don’t.

            “hostile work environment” I knew a native American guy who was fired by his tribe from a classical environment like this. The tribal council, his supervisors and the HR department were all cousins of his, but that made no difference. What did make a difference were the copious notes he had been toking for months to document his mistreatment. He sued his employer in tribal court and won a pretty good sized settlement, no easy task under those circumstances.

        JHK stated in 2005 that Peak Oil would be the end of the standard of living in the developed world.

        Nothing has changed.

        The creeping up of the cost of oil and its energy constituents is slowly tearing down the West. We are teetering right now as fracking as a fill in for standard drilling is starting to show the financial weaknesses that are attached to it. Covid is hiding the effects right now, but wait until folks have had enough of staying at home.

        Now add on fresh water to the mix, and the formula for disaster is already in place. Maybe the folks in the NE can filter out all the sewage that is in the rivers they used to call streets. How is California and the SW going to manufacture water to fill up Lake Mead. Pinal County, an agricultural area south of Phoenix is facing shutting down with ordered reductions of the Central Arizona Project irrigation canal. This year, a pretty good monsoon helped some but we need lots more where that came from. Hurricane Nora just ran right over the top of us with no results here. Bummer.

        Anyway, things are going to get worse and quickly now. The cause? Immigration!! This country is having a tough time servicing its population with resources now. Adding a few million more with no more resources is the formula for disaster.

        The idiots in DC, with their adequate water and oil pipeline access, do not understand any of this. Their immigration/ votes machine will just continue.

        The Democratic Party and the Leftist imbeciles it represents are the number one enemy of this country, not China, Russia or the Taliban.

        AOC is trying to blame the deaths of 12 folks in the NE on Joe Manchin this morning because he will not vote for the Liberal $3.2 trillion boondoggle. Just think, stop the immigration and the increased money outflow is not needed.

            “I meant the East Coast by this.” So did I. Water supply for most is conditional on the electric grid. If the water pressure drops, a boil water order usually follows. Kind of hard to boil water for most people if the grid is down. Chemicals to make the water safe are brought to the water departments by truck. Gasoline is doesn’t get to your local service station by pipeline, but is brought by truck. Something similar applies to local food stores. The nationwide grid continues to be vulnerable to sabotage, a known vulnerability for many decades. As little as possible has been done to deal with this, and many institutions will share the blame. After I discussed this with a relative, she had a automatic natural gas powered generator installed in her back yard. As long as the natural gas continues to flow, she will have lights, refrigeration, A/C and air cleaning as needed. This cost her a lot of aggravation and about $20,000. It has already proved useful for her with horrible air quality and extremely hot summer weather where she lives.

It was my second time growing vegetables and I have a basket of 20 squash, zuchini, cukes, and a LOT of tomatoes growing. Also a big crop of peppers. I just pickled peperoncini, and pickles. I also have watermelons and cantaloupe growing, a shitload of basil, 5 red cabbages, pole beans and kale.

            Does your town allow people to put out a vegetable/flower stand on their property but on the road?

            Quite a few people here do that. They have a table or a bookcase type arrangement or small shed. Honor system.

            It works pretty well here.

            One crop that people will pay pretty good money for is shallots.

            You might even be able to supply a restaurant in town.

            Save up all the coffee cans etc to use for holding bunches of flowers.

            All good ideas. I am sure I will be doing numerous different sorts of jobs if I don’t end up working for some company.

            I was in IT for 15 years setting up systems for law firms, and ran the document management system, then I became a web designer working for myself for years and then as the webmaster for a nonprofit. That also included doing flash animation and videos. I’m also a project manager, and I know and use or have used over 1000 different applications (I’ve been on computers since they were invented; starting with word processors). I am also a photographer and videographer. And I have a university degree. But, we’ll see how far even all that gets me.

            Wow, MQ, that is quite a resume.
            I’m sure you can get freelance work.

            There are organizations out there with jobs lists, and I am sure that there are some good ones in the IT sector and legal sector.

            Everyone needs websites these days!

            An organization that I am in and that is not too expensive and has a pretty good jobs list is the EFA: Editorial Freelancers Association.

            https://www.the-efa.org/

            They also have a discussion email list and many people there are helpful.

            You can create a detailed profile, which I am sure is a walk in the park for you.

    Right on, Jim! What a hilarious and wonderful treasure of writing today. Combative, too! I’m not going to have to up my donation again am I?

    How do we negotiate the minefields though when people start running around even crazier than they are already because they don’t understand and aren’t able to understand this entropic predicament?

    Most of us here ‘get it’ but you’re fortunate to be able to draw on a global audience of smart people (I will exclude myself from that category). I still can’t think of many people in my life that would be interested in trying to understand any of this stuff.

    I keep going back to the album cover of Roger Waters’ album Amused to Death. A monkey watching TV. Seems rather apt right now.

      I’ve been following Jim for a couple years now, and I’m now at the point where I consider him one of the best voices out there. I’m a recovering Democrat, and the pro-Trump rhetoric on here deterred me from joining. But the powers that be are all so batshit crazy it’s useless polishing a political nametag. The long emergency is what I’m concerned with, as I have been since all the idols to the technocracy blotted out the sun. Carving out a plot of sanity amidst the storm-mongers is my endgame- Jim has been foundational in this venture. Through the ingenious WMBH series and the all-too-sane rhetoric of the nonfiction, this world is making a little more sense. Thanks, Jim.

      • Slugoon September 3, 2021 at 9:21 am #

        Welcome, aske87. I don’t see an awful lot of pro-Trump propaganda here myself. More just defending him in the face of the alternatives, for reasons that are becoming painfully obvious.

        I’ve always liked Trump. He doesn’t talk or act like a politician. He made a few speeches during his presidency that I thought were incredibly powerful and moved me actually. I could never understand and still don’t what he did that was so bad.

        Sounds like you’ll feel at home here.

        • benr September 3, 2021 at 9:59 am #

          Yes its not really about Trump prior to running for President I actually thought he was funny but kind of a real dick.

          Then he ran and said a lot of the things that I think and thought woah this guy actually gets it.
          Now nine months on the job market has tanked everywhere except federal contracts.
          My indeed feed was 300 jobs a week minimum under Trump now under the corpse its down to under twenty.
          Its the economy stupid never rang more true.

          Joe Biden is a disaster in every metric one could measure.

          • Night Owl September 3, 2021 at 10:34 am #

            Yep. I was not a fan of the guy initially, but then I started digging around to see who was backing who over at Open Secrets and a few other sites.

            Then I started listening to his policy proposals, and it became clear that Trump was the guy most independents had been calling for for decades. Someone who could make it as a mainstream politician, but take a sensible approach to foreign, monetary, and manufacturing-related policy.

            The manner in which the PTB went after him was like nothing seen in American history. He was the real deal. Unfortunately, the United States is a media driven culture, and the superficial is about all that matters.

          • benr September 3, 2021 at 11:15 am #

            Trump was the anti-swamp creature this country needed. When he walked down the escalator I was optimistic about America for the first time since Reagan. He was a anti Deep State businessman who explained what was wrong, why the government was sucking the people of America dry. What socialism was going to do to the people, destroy their spirit.

            I believe he believed he could have a positive impact on the whole mess in DC. He had some, but the machine beat him down from day one. The people of the country turned on him in 2018 and that forecast the debacle of his last year and a half.

            The last chance is gone.

          • pranah September 3, 2021 at 1:28 pm #

            Having read The Fourth Turning years ago, and us being in the Fourth Turning (those of which, in the USA, have historically ended in honking big hot shooting wars–WWII, the Civil War, the War for Independence), it looked like Trump was the Gray Champion who was to rise pretty much from nowhere to lead the nation during the throes of the endgame of the Fourth Turning. Spooky stuff. Since he was cheated out of his second term, we won’t have the benefit of the Gray Champion at the helm when we need him the absolute most.

          • pranah September 3, 2021 at 1:30 pm #

            …it looked _to me_ like Trump was the Gray Champion…

          • Anthea September 3, 2021 at 8:14 pm #

            I’ve never understood the disparagement of Trump’s manner, personality, or way of speaking, or the wayin which his quasi-defenders (including our host) found it obligatory to throw n a little slur here and there about his supposed “buffoonery.” I always thought JHK did this because he was addressing a heavily Democratic audience which had to be thrown a bone once in awhile, lest they grow restive.

            Trump is admittedly a little inarticulate, but how long has it been since we’ve had a president who wasn’t wholly reliant on speech-writers or teleprompters? And who wants a president who sounds like the people on NPR? (Condescending and precious–and cursed with a private-school accent.) Trump talks as well as anyone else–and far better than, say, Obama, who was edging over into NPR territory in the way of unctuousness, and couldn’t talk at all without a teleprompter.

            Anyway, such attacks always seemed to me to be gratuitous, like other on all and sundry for various personal qualities.

            Karl Denniger has berated Trump from day one for various policy failures. E.g., addressing the US health care system was a top priority, if he had wanted to right the ship of state, and he backed down on this the day after he was elected.

            I am not much inclined to give Trump a pass on this either, but it may have been a, “You pick your battles,” type of thing. Leave it for when you have your chess pieces in place and thus some chance of at least a partial win.

            Trump in 2020-21 has been a great disappointment, with his vaccine advocacy. Denninger has also excoriated him for failing to take swift, decisive action about the theft of the election. In my view, he’s beaten.

            But it has become very clear over the past year or so that he–and we–are dealing people so monstrous that it buggers the imagination. I feel fairly certain that he was threatened with the death of his entire family, in probably the most unpleasant kinds of ways, along with his own death. In such a case, if it were me, I’d back down too.

          • Blackbird September 3, 2021 at 9:37 pm #

            Maybe the Biden is the Gray Champion we get… Kind of like a Tarot card inverted.

          • draupnir September 4, 2021 at 1:18 pm #

            Anthea, those were ad hominem attacks designed to denigrate and draw attention away from the substance of his words. I remember thinking early on that the poor man couldn’t get a word out of his mouth without the press pouncing on him. They hated him so much they were willing to diminish and belittle the very office of the President of the United States to get to him. I’ve never seen a POTUS treated with such disrespect. Now they can reap what they have sown. And they still had to cheat in such an egregious manner, that it is glaringly obvious to anyone who choses to look. I don’t need an audit to know the Biden Administration is illegitimate.

        I have for many years had a great contempt for goddamn goody-goodies. I think I acquired this during a ten-year sojourn in one of Kanas City’s snooty suburbs. Often when I called up one of the mothers of my daughers’ school friends, they would answer the phone in a little-girly voice–so perfect an imitation of a prepubescent girl that I once replied, “Honey, can I speak to your mother please?” This produced a roar of rage at the other end of the line. Mommy shaped-shifted into Godzilla so convincingly that I could almost see the fur stand up on the back of her neck.

        I have been sorely disappointed in my closer-in exurban neighbors’ submissiveness to the recently renewed mask order. At Walmart today I passed the lady greeter who was handing out masks just as a customer was complaining that she was letting people in without masks. So when I walked past her again (on my way back from getting a rotisserie chicken), she had grown more forceful. “They’ve mandated it,” she insisted. I said, “They can kiss my ass. ”

        I honestly think most of these people are submitting to the mask orders to show that they are good little boys and girls.

    James, I wonder on your writing process – phrases such as “like some short-timer Guatemalan generalissimo” – do you make notes of phrases that strike you and put them aside for some use days or weeks ahead? Or does most everything get written in a 2-3 days (or 1 day?) surge of inspiration? There are plenty of topical writers that can put out a cogent article a few times a week – but this many memorable lines, that seems pretty unusual to me.

    “Those parties dimly perceived surely think they can get away with anything now. There is no accountability, nor any memory of what it used to mean. Things just happen and unhappen, like in some raw, pre-conscious nasty-and-brutish animal kingdom, which is exactly what our country has become when you factor-in mass Woke lobotomization, meth and fentanyl addiction, social media mind-fuckery, and Covid hysteria. Klaus Schwab, you are taking this a little too far now, yes? It’s one thing to own nothing and be happy, but to remember nothing, too? That compliant surviving population of a half-billion serfs you wish to reserve to peel your grapes won’t even be able to carry out the simplest instructions. Something has gone very wrong with your Great Reset… if that’s what this is.”

    That is exactly their aim. The slave class will be ruled through fear. Who needs a memory, when there is only the here and now. The proclamations and rules change from day to day in the New Normal.

    Fear of losing it all will keep the serfs going, and the plan is to have them lose it all over time.

    There is so much information on this, and the info. is in many cases straight from the mouth of Herr Schwab and co. The “co.” being the largest banks and multi-nationals in the world. The DAVOS crew. Ever checked out who their partners are? Take a gander.

    Vax pass leads to Self Sovereign Identity pass, for which contracts that I have seen have been drawn up and signed in many European states.

    When the economy crashes, box stores and conglomerates own everything, including the real estate, and the people who survive the shots are put on UBI and granted the right to live at subsistence level so long as their passes are up to date. Until they keel over.

    All others will be swept aside.

      Two generations from now the survivors of what was formerly called The Human Race will revere Bill Gates as a saint who is responsible for their life on a planet cleansed of it’s toxic population of eight billion human worthless eaters. Saint Gates was largely responsible for the stealth eugenics program that reduced the population to a sustainable two billion people in the most humane way possible. His gene alteration program disguised as a vaccine against a flu-like virus that had a 99.5% survival rate was successful beyond his wildest dreams. Once 60% of the breeding females were fully vaccinated before they discovered that they could no longer bear children the die was cast. Another 10% of the fully vaxed soon expired from “unexplained” blood clots, but reproductive failure of most of the white European members of the human species was the key feature that rid the planet of the voracious weed species that if left unchecked would have turned it into a lifeless desert.

      Now that the Human Operating System has been fully decoded, the Overseers are capable of managing their subjects so that the specter of overpopulation need never occur again.

        Bill Gates foisted MS Windows on the world, using every dirty trick in the book, on his way to becoming the richest scumsucker in the universe. He stole it from Apple, who stole it from HP and Xerox (or something like that). There were many other dirty tricks employed, before and after Windows — MS-DOS, Netscape vs Explorer, and so on. He is and always has been an apex predator.

          Correct about Windows and how it came to be.
          But one thing many do not know is there is a large group that will not allow MS or any other company to control their electronic devices.
          It is simple to prevent Windows and MacOS from sharing or leaking your personal data. If you know how to do this you will end up with an operating system and applications which ARE NOT controlled by anyone other than you and do not require an internet connection to use.
          This same group will not allow data or external control of their vehicles and can ensure the car is isolated from radio networks.
          Also easy to do.

          My experience is that for every hurdle put up by the oligarchy there is usually a simple way to avoid inclusion.
          If we all work to avoid the oligarchy then they have no impact on our lives and can be happily ignored.

          Once the leaders went full-metal-lawless the Real Adults just stopped complying with everything humanly possible. Its actually simple once you un-chain your brain from fear.

          Suggest everyone stop worrying and start finding ways to take your self far away from the oligarchy.

      Very concise overview, N.O.

      Unless we actually fight this tooth and nail, that is exactly what will happen. Might happen anyway, but I figure that there will be many ‘undesirable’ colonies…

      I was wondering how hospitals, stores, schools, businesses, etc were going to fare, losing 30-50% of their employees, because of forced jabbing? Millions next week will be fired or walk off the job over that. And they are already complaining of being short-handed.

      Is that because UBI will come sweeping in to save the day? But only if you’re jabbed?

      • tresho September 3, 2021 at 2:45 pm #

        “I was wondering”… See this clipping from cleveland.com 26 Aug 2021: “[Cleveland] Clinic CEO and president Dr. Tomislav Mihaljevic warned that hospitals are already understaffed and losing healthcare employees during a public health crisis could jeopardize the Clinic’s ability to provide care. “This is something that is on everybody’s mind,” Mihaljevic said.

        UH [universityhospitals.org] does not want to add to the region’s unemployment rate, said UH CEO Dr. Cliff Megerian.”

        Mary, I think the loss of hospital staff is an intended element of the Great Reset.

        If I could show you some of the documents I have edited that deal with online/digitized healthcare you would be shocked. They want the human element removed.

        They want a slave class on UBI, and they want population reduction. Life will again be nasty, brutish, and short — and highly controlled.

      Hi, NO,

      Just watching session 68 now.

      Bernie, in Australia.

      This police state is also a form of collective punishment.

      Everyone is under total lockdown—in danger of being arrested and thrown into prison, also with major fines—until every last person is jabbed.

      And then? No guarantees. Indeed, highly unlikely that anything will change there even after the last holdout has been jabbed.

      How “infectious” is Australia? Is it the test penal colony of the future.

      I honestly don’t think this can come here to the USA, at least not to states where lots of people have fire arms. Fingers crossed. I dont know whether increasing fragmentation and collapse in the USA would embolden locals to take things into their own hands and prevent the Australian-style police state, or would weaken them and strengthen central military authorities. It sounds like the Aussie police are complete on board with the repression. LIke, they are just as clueless and out of it as Bernie describes the population as being.

      Certainly his take is a cautionary tale on the central importance of access to alternative news.

      I can only catch about 75% of what Bernie says. Is he from Baden Wuerttemberg? He seems to have that slightly adenoidal tone that I recall as the regional accent, with t’s spoken as d.

      Very, very scary.

      PS. Once again I notice Wolfgang having defective antennae as to when to shut up. Reiner stated clearly that there was someone from Australia waiting to speak, and it is almost midnight in AUS. But Wolfgang insisted on continuing, going over more detailed information—far too fast for it to be much use, but going on for at least another 10 minutes after he had been asked to cede the floor. Reiner should have just pulled the plug on him.

      N.O. Corona Ausschuss—

      The English “simultaneous” translation is a disaster

      I understand why RF might think this is a good idea for German listeners, but it wrecks the testimony of Susan Frost (also the Dutch fellow). And the German is not that good.

      Frost’s testimony is very important FOR AMERICANS!! They need to be able to hear her. Impossible to follow either the German or the English.

      I certainly hope the Ausschuss gets this up at Bitchute or somewhere in a plain English version. Then I could circulate it, also to some MDs on my college email list.

      As it I can’t do anything with it.

      • Sean Coleman September 4, 2021 at 7:18 pm #

        I agree. I need to look up Frost and Engel. The latter was talkkng about the measles vaccine, from memory.

        I am also not a fan of the real-time translation. I think they need to at least lower the volume of the source language.

        As for Bernie’s accent: I can understand him, but I can’t place the accent. At first I was not sure if he was a Muttersprachler, but he appears to be. Sounds unlike anyone I have ever encountered here though. That said, there are more accents and dialects than I can count, do IDK.

      Did not see human ivermectin listed, but they do sell animal version. I’ll demur.

      Interesting list of antibiotics, however. If we really are entering a long emergency (or simply working,our way through) a stockpile of those might be very useful, a long with a Physician’s Desk Reference in paper format.

      • Bob12065 September 3, 2021 at 10:39 am #

        I have 45 tablets of each. All pharma grade in blister packs. I took a couple of each a while back when it seemed like I might be coming down with a cold or covid. No problems. Like I said, I been dealing with these folks for years.

        • DrTomSchmidt September 3, 2021 at 11:54 am #

          Ok. I have blister packs and will preserve them for illness, taking one pill per 15kg of weight if needed. If I could get a lot more, I’d do prophylaxis.

          I had… severe digestive irregularities as a result. Which is a common side effect of real stuff. Do you have a way to check?

        • abbybwood September 3, 2021 at 1:42 pm #

          It seems when you search for Ivermectin it is only available by bolus or IV???

      • ThorsHammer September 3, 2021 at 12:28 pm #

        Dr Tom

        Ivermectin is FDA approved for treatment of roundworms, scabies, head lice, and any number of human ailments. Just find a doctor who isn’t a total Medical Fascist and have him write a prescription for you. 3mg human approved pills. Don’t take only one or two pills, but rather the correct dosage according to body weight which usually works out to 6 or 7 3mg pills. You’d have to take enough for a 1200# horse before you’d encounter the adverse effects the fear mongers are trying to manufacture.
        Or just take a Pfizer jab daily for a month if you are a fan of adverse affects.

        My doctor was a adamant vaxhead until he came down with COVD a few weeks ago. He took Ivermectin for three days and fully recovered. (I like to think it was because of all the double blind studies I had been feeding him) Prescribed it for his entire family, but didn’t tell the hospital consortium he works for. (He still has a job)

        • tresho September 3, 2021 at 2:58 pm #

          “Just find a doctor who isn’t a total Medical Fascist ” You must also find a pharmacist willing to fill the doctor’s order. Pharmacists are not obligated to fill any prescription they disagree with. If a patient presents a prescription note splattered with Wite-out and with 2 different colors of ballpoint ink, don’t expect any pharmacist to fill it!

        • tresho September 3, 2021 at 2:59 pm #

          “Prescribed it for his entire family, but didn’t tell the hospital consortium he works for. (He still has a job)” One can hope the dispensing pharmacy doesn’t spill the beans on his lack of faith in the system.

        • DrTomSchmidt September 3, 2021 at 5:05 pm #

          I have a number of pills already, and I have a Doctor Who wrote me a prescription. CVS filled it. It was very expensive however. Of course, less than going to the hospital with Covid.

          I took one round of seven pills because I was going to use the stuff prophylactically. It’s supposed to give you, digestive effects. It did, so I’m sure it’s real. But I’m gonna save the rest of my supply for either me, or a loved one who gets it. I will follow the protocol if that happens.

          I’ll see if I can refill the prescription I filled once. If not, I’m always looking for a good Indian pharmacy.

          • tully September 3, 2021 at 6:45 pm #

            Ziverdo is the company I ordered from May 30. They are in India, payment only by PayPal. Felt a little sketchy, but I wanted the stuff, so ordered 80 of the 12 mg pills for $100. Shipping was $30. The original confirmation said I would have the order in 30 days, and I did.

            The package left India June 2, and arrived at NYC customs June 10. It sat and sat; I thought they had lost it or had seized it. Nope-apparently customs routinely has a 3 week backlog..

            I took one pill weekly as soon as I got it, through last week. Taking a break for few weeks; will probably resume in Oct. At the 12 mg, one pill dosage no side effects at all.

            Before I got the pills, I ordered the apple flavor horse paste from Amazon. Twice. Just looked, and they still have it. I got 10 doses out of one tube. No side effects with the paste either. I assume people getting sick took the whole tube at once, or over a few days. Not sure how anyone could miss the instructions to adjust the dose based on the weight of the animal.

          • Anthea September 3, 2021 at 9:09 pm #

          • pranah September 4, 2021 at 12:35 am #

            tully, Anthea–did you need a prescription to get the Ivermectin from Ziverdo? My doctor told me when I asked that she would not prescribe it for me if I got COVID because “it’s not standard of care.”

          • tully September 4, 2021 at 8:37 am #

            @pranah, no prescription is required to order from Ziverdo. In addition to ivermectin sold separately, they sell kits of IVM/zinc/doxy for use at start of confirmed infection. I skipped that one, as I have plenty of zinc, and keep oil of oregano capsules in the frig. The latter has antibiotic properties. I’ve not had antibiotics since I was in my thirties.

            I did opt to get the J&J vax in July, as I am in southern MO where delta took off in early June. I have no health issues, but I am over 60. After crunching the numbers, I opted to get the shot I also continue the supplement prophylaxis with zinc/D3/quercetin, and will resume the IVM before flu season starts.

            I really do not want to get this crud, whatever it is.

          • pranah September 4, 2021 at 4:38 pm #

            @tully–thank you so much for the info! I’ll check out Ziverdo. And good luck, I hope none of us get the crud.

        Part of the “long emergency” becoming more apparent recently are the various supply chain disruptions popping up here & there. I take some basic meds for hypertension, cholesterol and prevention of platelets (can’t use ASA), and will probably take them for the rest of my life. These are low priced and widely used. I would like to get a stockpile of 2 to 3 years for these, to forestall getting cut off due to “long emergency” problems. Pharmacist & MD no help to me on this issue.

  8. observex September 3, 2021 at 9:12 am #

    The AMA release on not using Ivermectin is here: https://www.ama-assn.org/press-center/press-releases/ama-apha-ashp-statement-ending-use-ivermectin-treat-covid-19. It ends with this paragraph:

    “Patients are encouraged to talk to their physicians, pharmacists, and other prescribers about currently available therapies authorized or approved for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19. The most effective ways to limit the spread of COVID-19 are to get vaccinated, wear a face mask, stay at least six feet from others in public places, wash hands frequently, and avoid large crowds of people. Our organizations strongly urge eligible unvaccinated individuals to get vaccinated.”

    These sentences are full of nonsense and contradiction. The “six feet” idea is different than the WHO recommendation of 1 meter (about 3 feet). And 6 feet or whatever, well, let’s magically ignore it on an airplane, except when waiting to get and off the plane, then six feet matters again. The washing hands idea, while polite, is nearly meaningless when the CDC itself observed almost no chance of an airborne virus being spread by touching. The vaxx, as we’ve seen, apparently doesn’t do much to stop spread anymore in Israel and other places.

    Meanwhile, the CDC won’t put a real suggestion like losing weight in its list of recommendations, which would save many more lives than wiping down your seat on the airplane.

      Ivermectin

      Nobel Prize winning medicine that was responsible for eradicating the disease of River Blindness which formerly plagued millions of inhabitants in equatorial Africa.

      Taken for decades by millions of people with virtually no adverse effects.

      And then along came the COVID virus. Inhabitants of Equatorial Africa contacted the virus at 1/7the rate of those in Mediterranean Africa and the “advanced” countries of Europe and the US.

      Nothing to see here. Move along. And by all means strip any doctor who mentions Ivermectin of his medical license and send him to prison.

        No, technically it’s Plutocracy or the rule of the rich. Fascism is the Government controlling the rich. The opposite. The two sphere can’t be kept separate in the modern industrial state. But it matter who leads. Obviously faceless, unelected, corporate executives should not be ruling.

        Fascism – the European name for real nationalism – is the answer not the problem.

        • ThorsHammer September 3, 2021 at 1:24 pm #

          Actually according to Mussolini, “Fascism is the merger of the Corporation and the State”. No mention of who Rules, but it’s historically almost always the Rich.

            Gotta go to the source. Mussolini was the creator of fascism and according to Il Duce under a fascist system, the state is supreme. Everyone from individual to corporation to bank serves the state. And the state exalts the nation.

            Put banks and corporations (and the rich individuals who control them) on top and you’ve got a plutocracy. And the plutocrats sell out the nation. That’s us.

            My heartfelt thanks to both you and this blog’s magnificent host.

            I found this at coldfury.com:

            “People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail, the local police department will be sent to follow up in person. “We don’t tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes,” Premier Steven Marshall explained. ”

          • tully September 3, 2021 at 6:55 pm #

            @Alzaebo, that app or one similar is used by local county courts to keep tabs on people out on bond awaiting trial. The person awaiting trial has to pay the monthly fee for service; think it’s a couple hundred bucks.
            And S. Australia is mandating this for everyone?

          • Night Owl September 4, 2021 at 2:57 pm #

          MD,
          Are you not well-fed and living well? Do you suffer from want?
          Your neighbors? Is not the car and truck full of fuel? Are your kids living under an overpass in a cardboard box?

          End the Fed and there will be consequences…unforeseen consequences, perhaps dire.

          I will be content, at this point, to allow sleeping dogs to remain asleep.

          • Wizard of the Saddle September 4, 2021 at 1:25 am #

            That’s quite the straw man you’ve cobbled together, field. I’m well-fed, not suffering, and my kids don’t live under a bridge down by the river, cuz the Fed??

            Consequences? No more fiat “money,” no more enrichment of the cantillionaires.

            I will be content to drive a big, fat wooden stake into that sleeping dog’s heart, and guarantee it sleeps forever more!

          MD,
          I am not presenting a false argument. Remove the Fed and the economy, the government, and most of our cherished institutions will collapse overnight. Immediate civil war, and millions would die. The Fed, good or bad, is the lynchpin of our current civilization. In the circumstances we find ourselves, it is our only immediate option.

          Replace it with something? Sure…your argument?

        Would you take the advice of your local Zeta when he tells you his Fentanal is pure and good for you?

        So why should you take the advice of the AMA when they tell you that the second most prescribed medicine in the world will kill you?

        And that the cure for COVID is to wash your hands and stick your head up your ass? Or take Tylenol until your lungs give out and you can be shipped to the hospital, and placed on a ventilator, so the hospital can collect their $39,000 bounty from you?

        Or listen to Pfizer when they tell you that having your immune system permanently altered so that it is only effective against the original Wuhan COVID instead of the mutations that any virus continually spawns is a smart policy? Or that if you have experienced COVID and thus acquired immunity that is 13 times more effective than the Pfizer” vaccine” and lasts far longer you should get vaccinated anyway? In order to get a fake vaccine passport and have a few of the privileges of citizenship returned to you? Or that having booster shots every 6 months is a solution to a virus that has become endemic in the human population? Or that regularly ramping up the many danger points for long term adverse reactions is good policy?

        When you consider that the average IQ of policy makers is under 80 and half of them are below that it suddenly becomes understandable why they are so frantically trying to get everybody shot before the fraud collapses of its own weight..

        and

            “While they are tasking their children with educational goals” Simply gaining basic literacy in Mandarin is a huge feat for anyone. It helps to start young. I took 3 semesters of college level Mandarin starting when I was 66, simply because things Chinese always fascinated me, and the $ outlay was trivial. The was by far the hardest college course I ever took, and it was watered down compared to the textbook we used.

        • Amman September 3, 2021 at 1:05 pm #

          I’ve seen it classified, the vaccine, as “Inactivated virus” type which seems to jive with what a vaccine should be. Now I hear the new ones from China are the new fangled mRNA type.. A type which I consider a no no.

          “Is it a kill shot” It’s a liquid inside of a bottle. Any medication you take presupposes you trust the system giving it to you, that it won’t kill you. The liquid inside and the label outside can change without any input from you.

    • GreenAlba September 3, 2021 at 9:56 am #

      Bob – as I recall, the Chinese vaccines (which they are also exporting in their part of the world) are traditional vaccines, not mRNA and similar.

      So they presumably don’t intend to reduce their population, at least ATM. But they are well down the road of digital social control of their own people – welcome to the Ping! Dynasty.

        Green, the Chinese had their conventional vaccine ready in a similar timeframe as the mRNA type. How can that be? We were told it takes much longer to do the “deactivated virus protein vaxx” compared to the mRNA type.

        Were the Chinese prepared ahead of time?? Hmm.. makes one wonder. Does that fit into a planned release, biowarfare scenario? I’m just pondering…

        Note Bene: I don’t know much of what I’m talking about.

        • GreenAlba September 3, 2021 at 11:22 am #

          No idea, Doug, but I think some are still at trial stage. Last I looked only two were approved, but that was a while ago.

          This list has a different purpose (re human cell lines) but it is useful because it groups the vaccines according to technology, and is interactive, so shows updates in trial stage, approval etc.

  12. MrMangoOnMyShoulder September 3, 2021 at 9:43 am #

    JHK – There is no accountability, nor any memory of what it used to mean. Things just happen and unhappen, like in some raw, pre-conscious nasty-and-brutish animal kingdom, which is exactly what our country has become when you factor-in mass Woke lobotomization, meth and fentanyl addiction, social media mind-fuckery, and Covid hysteria.

    Good lord, ain’t that the truth.

    Though I am curious to see whether accountability comes back into play next week when emergency unemployment bennies end, combined with the eviction moratorium being lifted weeks later.

    Many will become accountable again, and quick.

    Or it will get ugly so fast that the government will roll in UBI stat…effectively shoveling the concept of accountability into the growing mass grave of agreed-upon social structure that has seemed to hold for decades, if not centuries…

    • SouthernYankee September 3, 2021 at 10:01 am #

      Mango, I tend to think that Accountability (at least in Housing) is still not in the offing for the following reason:

      Some (many) believe that the Covid virus was created so that the vaccine could be justified and forced and. Likewise, I see that the eviction moratorium is a play put into motion to implode the “mom and pop” owners (or larger ones too) in the rental industry. Then, after they default on the mortgages on their rental investments, which default of course was orchestrated, those properties then get sold to the hedge funds and international investors in a fire sale.

      And just like that you have socialized housing for all. Same thing for owners of single family homes like us.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder September 3, 2021 at 10:08 am #

        Agree. But what happens when two or three million households get turned out into the streets?

        What landlord would take on a tenant who didn’t pay their rent for 18 months and got booted?

        Not everyone can move back in wih mom and dad.

        Of course, they should have paid their bills this whole time, as is the prime law of modern life…but fear and (mostly) anger will abound regardless.

        • SouthernYankee September 3, 2021 at 10:18 am #

        • Not_GeorgeT September 4, 2021 at 7:16 am #

          “But what happens when two or three million households get turned out into the streets?” It’s a good question.

          Consider the number, this is households, which usually means a few people per household.

          What if they refuse to leave? Add a minimum of 4 months to the 18 just to get an eviction case in front of a judge. Judges don’t want to toss people out into the street. So maybe it goes to mediation. A deal of some sort is struck.

          At this point the agreement probably lasts a couple of months. Some live up to it and the case “goes away” (not talking rent here, gets too deep into the weeds).

          Some can’t make the deal work (let’s suspend motive, again it goes too deep).

          Back to court 2 – 4 months later.

          Now it’s somewhere north of 2 years. maybe it does a “wash, rinse, repeat” and moves out another 2 – 4 months.

          With that number of households, with an eventual eviction, how many sheriff’s deputies will it take to put the belongings literally out on the street?

          Or maybe it’s bank owned property, as in the mortgage payments stopped being made for whatever reason and either the owner walked away or the tenant in a rental goes through the eviction process.

          On the way out, they strip all the copper plumbing (check the price of copper) out of the house/building and sell it.

          Now the structure is unusable until the plumbing etc is reinstalled, likely with a lot of pvc pipes. Unlivable, and any buyer will be factoring in the cost of re-doing the plumbing.

          After ’08 some banks suspended the mortgage payments and let people stay just to keep the property occupied. Thus rent-free living.

          The situation is much worse now because “the government” has its heavy hand in the mix.

          and this started with covid, covid, covid

          Got a bridge to nowhere up for sale, any buyers?

She told one of them they had to move out so she could move in as she was going to lose her home since she was behind on payments due to their nonpayment. The tenant expressed sympathy but refused to move until evicted.

    In today’s news:

    (Kitco News) – The gold market is pushing significantly higher, following a significant miss in the U.S. labor market with fewer jobs created in August.

    Friday, the U.S. Labor Department said that 235,000 jobs were created last month. The data was weaker than expected as consensus forecasts called for jobs gains of 720,000.

    That’s an ENORMOUS miss. Or was it wishful thining? Maybe it was deliberate mis-projection to keep the markets “irrationally exuberant” like old Magoo once said

    Very much appreciate JHK’s last two sentences as well. A growing vibe throughout the mind-collective.

    At some point they will have simply pushed too far. They are already doing it, and way too fast. It’s as if the proverbial (or literal) Rothschilds and Rockefellers of today think they’re smarter than their patient ancestors who recognized that mass societal shift takes generations of planning and slow rollout…or it results in mass chaos, with them ending up becoming “publicly accountable by mob”.

    Perhaps mass chaos is what they want, for some reason. No more nudging…push, push, push is the order of the day. We shall see what they are capable of. They have immeasurable resources and power. But also they are, after all, merely humans. Perhaps they don’t believe that to be true anymore…

Before America could recover from the end of forced segregation, the Elite hit again with bussing or forced Integration. Are the two the same? By no means. But why not if the opponent was reeling and dizzy? Hit them again and again.

    The Market Ticker Guy discusses the missing piece of the puzzle- why the hospitals still refuse you any treatment unless you are at death’s door:

    Oh boy…..

    You want to know why, if you get Covid-19, the doctor and hospital won’t prescribe and use anything until you’re choking — and then only Dexamethasone, Remdesivir (which has failed twice in random controlled trials, including a VERY LARGE one, and is dangerous enough, on the data, that I’d never take it personally), oxygen, and ultimately a ventilator?

    Here’s the reason directly from the government itself on an official government web page:

    https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=243448

    How is this not attempted murder? It’s premeditated.

      Yeah, that was really the last straw for me. I can forgive a scam to get people to take vaccines they don’t need (especially Covid recovered) to make profits for Pfizer, like they did with Lipitor. But that article is a whole new level of evil. Unbelievable. Unforgivable.

      • Yohannon September 3, 2021 at 12:46 pm #

        You can? Really? You still don’t think the vaccines are deadly? In the long term if not the short? And obviously in terms of social control and dehumanization?

        • DrTomSchmidt September 3, 2021 at 5:11 pm #

          I’m not sure they knew how deadly they were. I think they figured on two things: high price, and waning efficacy, so the vaxx would be like a subscription model for life,like insulin. We know they knew about waning efficacy because they drove the antibody level so high, to protect for long enough in the trial.

          That’s a familiar scam like the one they ran with Lipitor, where most people weren’t helped, and only slightly hurt, by it. Instead, they made a new Vioxx. It’s the most deadly vaccine in VAERS, by far. But I do think they started out as greedy scammers, not intentional killers like the hospital people.

          She didn’t say “covid infected”, RL. Clearly Mary doesn’t deny that in the real world people can come down with a bad cold/flu/pneumonia, RL, and I’m sure you’re aware that the list of ‘covid’ symptoms are identical to a bad cold/flu/pneumonia.

          And that when people are sick they probably shouldn’t go visit grandma in the nursing home until they’re feeling better. Common knowledge, no?

          What kind of moron would deliberately send large numbers of sick people to the old folks homes? Well, we know of a few. And I hope they can’t sleep at night.

    • abbybwood September 3, 2021 at 2:10 pm #

      Agree.

      And because they are medical doctors and know how to read and study and use email and the phone they should all KNOW the current treatment modalities for EARLY use like monochromal antibodies (can only be given in ER or urgent care. Once an in-patient they can’t be given!), Ivermectin, Vitamin C oral or IV, Zinc, D3, steroids, Fluvoxamine etc.

      Because the CDC and AMA refuses to admit these early protocols save lives and reduce suffering they are ALL causing harm. This is medical malpractice on a national scale and not accidental. They are knowingly and deliberately committing malpractice with no fear of liability.

      Since the jabs have already killed 30,000 total EU/American and considering the hundreds of thousands of severe adverse reactions AND considering the vaccines do NOT work, the “experiment” should be stopped!

      In the past when 50 people died from experimental jabs they STOPPED administering them! And again there is no liability for the damages they are causing!

      It is beyond sinister and malpractice for the AMA and CDC to continue this deadly charade.

      And now Fauci is pushing for babies and young children to get jabbed!

      We have zero leadership on this in Congress and zero leadership in medicine (save a few fine doctors like Kory and McCullough etc. who are being censored and slandered).

      Something extremely sinister is afoot.

        • abbybwood September 3, 2021 at 10:53 pm #

          My mistake on the spelling. Thanks.

          Dr. Peter McCullough recently said that the monoclonal antibodies will NOT be administered once an in-patient. Only through outpatient clinics etc.

    • Sean Coleman September 4, 2021 at 7:16 pm #

      Dr BryanArdis says that the use of Rendesivir was mandatory in the US for (from memory) most of 2020. Perhaps it is the same thing Market-Ticker is talking about (you are only indeminfied if you use it and other specified treatements) or a separate, complementary, mechanism. He says that the CDC’s information about Rendseivir links (or linked, if the links have since been taken down) to two studies which showd that the drug was very dangerous and indeed had to be withdrawn from one of the two studies because of this.

      This is one of the odd things about it, that they did not know what they were linking to (but Fauci definitely knew) and did not care (hubris), or they did know but did not care (what difference would it make if the media said nothing?), or it was done deliberately. The death rate from the drug was very high in the test and was was refelced, says Ardis, in the mortality rates reported for ‘Covid’.

      So, criminal negligence at teh very least and premeditated murder at the most.

      And why had not the doctors checked it out before prescribing?

      I mentioned this before here as well as the prescription, under the WHO’s ‘Recovery’ study in the early months of 2020 of HCQ at several times the lethal dose. Again, the question was asked (by Dr Wolfgang Wodarg) whether this was deliberate or or not.

      I have been listening again to David Martin’s interview in Sutzung 60 of the Corona Ausschuss a few weeks ago. It mus be six or seven times now, trying to work out what its implications are (he condensed a lot into a short space of time). Covid was deliberately created by the CDC and its allies, whether as a possible vehicle for a HIV vaccine (by the way, there is no evidence that HIV causes AIDS, nor is there any convincing evidence that the disease even exists) or as a boilogical weapon. The big question here, again, is whether the vaccines are dsigned deliberately to injure or kill or whether it is just wilful negligence.

      Finally, I was also looking at the testimony of Dr (Prof?) Boyle (forgot first hname) who has been studying the subject since 1983. (Sitzung 42 or thereabouts.) He defended an Army doctor who refused to administer vaccines against anthrax and botulism in the First Gulf War about thirty years ago. She was acquitted, after spending 8 months in a military gaol.

      Boyle said that 500,000 servicemen were vaccinated. Of these, 11,000 died and 100,000 were”disabled”.

      He says this ration would be a “floor” for the ‘Covid’ vaccines. I think he means that this would be the least that will happen.

      The evidnece is moutning that this is deliberate murder.

    Here’s an interesting note, in an article from the South China Morning Post on Best Korea’s declining to accept complementary vaccines from other countries:

    “Pyongyang earlier refused offers of the AstraZeneca vaccine because of concerns over rare side-effects, a South Korean think-tank affiliated with Seoul’s spy agency revealed in July. And Russia’s foreign ministry said that same month that Moscow had repeatedly offered to supply its home-grown vaccines. Kim’s regime has yet to give any indication it has accepted its Cold War ally’s help.”

    “…rare side-effects…” sounds pretty innocent, until it sinks in. I wonder whether the masses will ever figure out they’re being hustled.

    Maybe it’s being 11 time zones away that gives me a soberer perspective on this sinister (and dangerous) pantomime. All of my otherwise-intelligent contacts, friends and counterparts seem to have fallen for the Party Line, hook and sinker.

    Not only that – when I innocently inform that I have had my two shots of Sinovac, a “true vaccine”, they tend to come unhinged. “But Science”. “Only 50% protection”. Urping back at me all the standard propaganda they’ve been fed.

    What the devil ever happened to CRITICAL THINKING? Gone with the wind.

          No she won’t. Just like the PTB that are pushing us toward the economic cliff are largely unknown. All conspiracies spend much of their resources trying to stay anonymous. Known conspiracies fail!

          Who created the fear factor associated with Covid19? Why is the average Jill or Joe on the street afraid of a flu like disease? To the point of taking chances with a untested vaxx and wanting even more. It is global, a product of the new information society. Who is the fear spreader?

          • JohnAZ September 3, 2021 at 2:55 pm #

            I did. And I would again. I had no reaction to it. I do not believe much of the outlandish press involving the vaxx, but acknowledge that the long term effects are unknown. I will not get the booster until the real need for it is established. The effects of the vaxx on the immune response is largely conjecture from individuals with suspicious agendas.

            My post was questioning the fear factor. Last year you would think the world was coming to an end especially for folks older than 65. Death rates up to 20%.

            Who controls the dissemination of info to control the emotions of the public? Not just the MSM, much much higher than that.

      They are trying to get misguided members of the public to do their dirty work for them.

      If the restaurant and bookstore and concert hall owners incur the wrath of the public with their foolish mask and vaccine demands, it’s all the same to TPTB if they put themselves out of business.

      It doesn’t even matter to me how dangerous the vaccine actually is (certainly more so than a vaccine should be, and less effective)… I won’t take it first and foremost because just don’t want it. Freedom. Same reason never took the pushed flu shots. The PUSHING is the MAIN problem.

    “Future Legend”

    And in the death
    As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare
    The shutters lifted an inch in temperance building,
    high on Poacher’s Hill
    And red mutant eyes gazed down on Hunger City
    No more big wheels
    Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats
    And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes
    Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers
    Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love-Me Avenue
    Ripping and re-wrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers
    Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald
    Any day now, the year of the Diamond Dogs
    “This ain’t rock and roll! This is genocide!”

    Excellent article today, James!

    I see all of this coming to a tipping point soon. I am looking at losing my job, and so are many people I love. My bestie from high school says she will probably be escorted from her job as an executive secretary and teacher at the high school where she’s worked for 20 years, just 2 years shy of her retirement, because she is refusing vaxxing and testing. Her daughter, a nurse, is also going to leave her job. Another bestie’s daughter, also a health professional, has left her job.

    The friend who works at the school says that the lunch ladies and the bus drivers also refuse the jab. 80% of the kids that attend the high school take the bus. And she said they are already short staffed. I don’t know how much Covid19 money Pritzker has thrown at the school (she’s in Illinois) but you can’t just miraculously make people appear who know how to do the job, even if you throw money at the problem.

    If they are NOT being coerced with Covid19 funds, then why would any institution do this? It’s insane.

    Also a Twitter friend reports that the private corporation for whom she’s working is giving them a deadline to vaxx, and there will be NO exceptions, even for the online-only workers. So we see clearly it is not about anyone’s health. I hope a lot of workers walk off the job. I hope the corporation suffers financially.

    The only answer now is resistance. Otherwise we get vaccine passports, digital money that can be turned off if we try to buy the ‘wrong’ thing. No more donuts for you, fatty! Eat your bug sammich.

    In any case, things are coming to a head and it will not be pleasant.

    To all others out there who resist the attempt of the state to use you as a lab rat, I salute you.

    • Mountain gal September 3, 2021 at 2:28 pm #

      I think people need to make their employer fire them for refusing the vax- then they will be poised to be able to sue them.

      • MaryQueen September 3, 2021 at 3:43 pm #

        I am debating that with myself. If they fire me, could that affect my pension? I don’t know. I have to figure it all out. I have maybe a month.

        • tresho September 3, 2021 at 4:02 pm #

          “If they fire me, could that affect my pension?” Your pension is probably payable only in fiat currency, so its value could zero out with any major currency crisis.

          • MaryQueen September 3, 2021 at 7:24 pm #

            Agree. I’m going to cash it in.

        • observex September 3, 2021 at 8:54 pm #

          If your employer has a written policy to vax, and you do not, that is a firing “for cause” in many states. So one starting point is looking for whether your pension has a “for cause” or other distinction based on reason for termination. If your pension has real value – maybe spend a few hundred dollars for an employment lawyer to look at it so you make an informed decision.
          I’m sorry your put to such a decision.

      Mary, my heart bleed for you. What situation to be in! We keep on thinking we’ll wake up and find it’s all been a terrible nightmare. All I can say is that, from the masses of videos I’ve been watching from highly qualified docs about the jab, is that NOTHING is worse getting it. I’m happy to lose work, never fly again, never hear Sibelius in concert, if I don’t have to take this jab. I hope you can hang on till sanity prevails!

      • MaryQueen September 3, 2021 at 3:44 pm #

        I can hang on. There is no way in hell I get that jab. I’m with you. Nothing is worse. Also, if we cave, then that’s it. They will go onto the next thing and it will never end. At least people like me who are willing to stand up will slow things down a tad. We’ll see. Depends on how many there are. I was very heartened hearing so many people I know are walking out rather than succumbing. They know that health is everything.

        1- They pay me $50,000 in cash.
        2- I am allowed to perform my own injection after ejaculating the killer shot onto the floor and carefully sterilizing the needle.

      Re: people being forced to vaxx or be fired–Greg Hunter, in his USAWatchdog Friday News Wrapup today, talks about a hospital in North Carolina (his home state) where a great many staff claimed religious objections–for example, you state you’re a Christian, you’re against abortion, and you won’t let them inject you with baby body parts. These staff people didn’t have to take the jab. He said “they can’t question you, they have to give it to you.” Maybe YMMV in your home state, but it’d be worth a try!

      I enjoy Greg, most of the time. Today he was in rare form, absolutely raging at the doctors who won’t prescribe Ivermectin because they don’t want to lose their jobs. Worth watching just for that, IMO.

    In the near future publicly-shared opinions such as today’s will result in non-personing. Forget the knock on the door at 4AM (well not a knock so much as a battering ram). Instead, a simple reset of your bank account similar to Chase canceling Flynn’s credit card. You will have no money and you will not be happy.

    This capability has been in place for a long time, at least since 2005 when, in the course of a death-induced implosion of a small business in which I had a stake, the paycheck I deposited on the first of the month simply vanished the day the first lawsuit was filed.

      A friend and I were meeting a man today at a certain yacht club in the Marina for lunch and we decided to sit inside. The place was a ghost town. So to sit inside we had to go to the main window and get name tags. The lady said, “I need to see your vaccine cards”.

      My friend and I just stared at each other in shock and she then made us go out the front door and walk around to the back because we were not jabbed.

    Pinworms? What a blast from the past. I hate to speak of it but this was seventy years ago. Yes, at least twice the dreaded worms swept through the family. One person got it and everyone had to be dosed by a vile, red liquid that curdled your insides. It was so bad, I would dream about having to take it until the next dose. There was also a daily orgy of all the bedding and clothing being washed in hot water. It was awful. Sometimes, the “good old days” were not so good.

      Revolting story.

      You have to wonder how often this goes on. When I worked at a mental health unit in the ’80s, we had a chronically mentally ill client who said she had sex with her landlord in lieu of rent. I don’t know how willing she really was, but she seemed unhappy about the arrangement.
      The landlord was known to us–he rented to a lot of the community’s chronically mentally ill–and he was a disgusting little gnome, so I didn’t doubt the client. And anyway, even if she was willing, it was still gross taking advantage of a mentally ill person, IMO.

    Some words from another man who saw it coming:

    Huxley foresaw advanced forms of propaganda being used to hack the mind’s of the masses.

    ” [They will do it]… partly by these new techniques of propaganda.

    They will do it by bypassing the sort of rational side of man and appealing to his subconscious and his deeper emotions, and his physiology even, and so, making him actually love his slavery.

    I mean, I think, this is the danger that actually people may be, in some ways, happy under the new regime, but that they will be happy in situations where they oughtn’t to be happy.

    …We know, there is enough evidence now for us to be able, on the basis of this evidence and using certain amount of creative imagination, to foresee the kind of uses which could be made by people of bad will with these things and to attempt to forestall this… ~Aldous Huxley”

        I agree it should be read by everyone but here’s the problem — how many would understand it and be able to apply it to our present situation? He saw psychology would be used to manipulate and brainwash people into conformity.

        What has happened with the corona virus is a peek into the future. Scare tactics (150,000 positive cases today! ICUs overflowing!!!) with absolutely no perspective given (how many people even have symptoms), tearful family members, and absolutely NO opinions to challenge the official story.

        “In this ‘cancel culture’, now the ‘new normal’, civil liberties are suspended through algorithmic control. From stay home orders to lockdowns that destroyed small businesses, with the aid of social media conglomerates, the government has imposed their top down solutions on the public. As our economy has yet to recover from the pandemic crisis, changes in the system that could usher in the machine takeover of a society are now quietly taking place.”

    https://apnews.com/article/business-health-coronavirus-pandemic-idaho-09941b507483a5c7b0183dcbf03a8254

    • King of Comedy September 3, 2021 at 11:58 am #

      According to 52 hospitals reporting in the state of Idaho:

      521 hospital beds are currently occupied by Covid patients
      168 ICU beds are currently occupied by Covid patients

      The population of Idaho is 1.787 million.

      One wonders how the state will survive this second coming of the Black Plague…

      • MaryQueen September 3, 2021 at 3:55 pm #

        Also, just checked on my closest hospital capacity:

        399 inpatient beds occupied

        81 inpatient ICU beds occupied

        701 inpatient beds total

        169 inpatient ICU beds total

        43.08% of inpatient beds available

        52.07% of inpatient ICU beds available

        THEY LIE.

          Extraordinary. Too bad you couldn’t get similar stats on all the local hospitals and give them to some independent local media – but there probably isn’t any such thing.

          Check this out. The Swine Flu campaign used Mary’s name in vain.

            Wow, quick easy experiment. They’re lying! How do they get away with such big lie? Because the media is all in with them.

            I knew that, but still wondered about local stuff. But the news readers aren’t reporters. They just read what’s put in front of them. Any real reporters are quickly fired I assume. Or learn to focus their energies on approved stories (which means they aren’t first rate reporters any more).

      LOL….”I asked if that hymn in the Catholic Church … and they played, my mind is going blank now, what’s the song that is played when everybody is on the chair?” Biden said, appearing confused. “I can’t remember it. Anyway … I said, ‘What the hell’s going on here?’ I just had one little favor, just that they play ‘Eagle’s Wings.'”

      This guy is just one rambling old geezer with dementia, Alzheimer’s, dyslexia, etc. all at once! To think he is the leader of the “Free World” is quite sad and makes me feel ashamed to be an American.

    It is truly the height of absurdity for the ama to command that ivermectin not be used. This is especially pointed given the fact of the Japanese PM and Head of the Tokyo Medical Society, just a week ago, coming out and recommending the use of first line use of ivermectin (as tx for covid) and against the fake ‘vax.’ (Unless they want to argue that the Japanese are stupid; in fact their medical system and research systems are far and away superior to that of amerika, and world ranking show it.)

    The ama has always been an instrument of Big pharma, Big hospitals, and Big business in general. Well less than 50% of doctors are members (and those that are members tend to be nerds or nazis). I was a member for two years as a young resident doctor (way reduced fees), and it took me about a 1 1/2 year to see that they do NOT represent doctors in any form or fashion. In fact, they are completely against the practice of medicine in any form other than BIG CLINICs and BIG hospitals. They are an enemy of the independent practice of medicine. Their coming out aggressively against ivermectin should be a signal to thinking minds that ivermectin is clearly the solution to COVID, along with hydroxychloroquine.

    • SW September 3, 2021 at 12:56 pm #

      Interestingly, Japanese children are among the healthiest in the world and childhood vaccines are not required. The parents decide after consulting with the doctors, what and when (or if) their children will be vaccinated.

      Is there no group that speaks for the patient anymore?

      • malthuss September 3, 2021 at 4:52 pm #

        Japan is first world so compare its stats with other first world lands.

        USA has a lot of low IQ people and slums. How does Japans stats
        compare to White USA _ Canada?

        • neurodoc September 3, 2021 at 5:54 pm #

          Studies in the late 70s and 80s, before IQ tests were avoided and banned in some places due to political correction mania, showed AVERAGE Japanese IQs to be one SD (standard deviation, in the case of the Wechsler Scales, 15 points), above that of the American conglomerate (all races) Average IQ of 100. Take that for what its worth and read between the lines. Interestingly, the % of people in both the US and Japan with IQs above 115 are about the same. Again, read between the lines.

          • neurodoc September 3, 2021 at 5:55 pm #

      Just a note to mention that the plastic bottle of 60 I*er*ect*n tablets I ordered through my favorite on-line retailer came through, no questions asked – but every label was in the Chinese language, with nothing in English or Indonesian to indicate dosage, expiry date, whatever. Interesting. I guess the PRC sees a good market among the medical unbelievers overseas. Thus horse de-wormer is exported along with the Fentanyl.

    Welcome to COMPLEXITY

  40. D from OR September 3, 2021 at 12:01 pm #

    Regarding Jabs for Jobs. About 13 years ago I left a very cushy position at Oregon’s largest educational institution. I had come from the world of advertising/promotion/branding and was to perform the same at the college. Consensus from friends and family was I had hit the jackpot: government job, benefits, retirement.

    I could only hack it for about 3 years. It was awful. It was the people I had to work with mostly. See I was used to people being rewarded and promoted by their cleverness and creativity but in the atmosphere of a higher ed bureaucracy that was not the case. The rewards only came to those who held out the longest and as a result there was a rigidness and pettiness directed at anything “different.” I made my mark and then walked away without regret. The jackpot was an illusion.

    I think about my experience then a lot now because I know the type that is “in charge.” They are not dynamic or clever people. Original thought or approaches are tossed aside for compliance and homogeny. All the folks “on the spectrum” working for the Tech companies are the same. A generation has been taught how to follow not how to think.

    A timely example is how these “in charge” idiots mandate vaccines for health care workers and the intended consequence in Oregon is there is now a shortage of nurses. They just never thought it would happen because *they* don’t know how to think and besides they would never not follow an order from upon high.

    This is the blob of humanity we have to contend with as the SHTF and like Jim I have “had enough of the whole nauseating game.” And I say the same to these who consider themselves in charge, “Go ahead and push a little harder.” Let’s get this over with.

      I worked in the public health sector for three years and most of the people I worked with had PhDs in wasting time. There were a lot of meetings and committees but next to nothing was actually accomplished. Deciding whether or not to make vaccines mandatory would have generated 100s — if not thousands — of hours of discussion.

    • MaryQueen September 3, 2021 at 5:29 pm #

      You nailed it.

      My sisters thought I’d love working in education, so I got a job at a community college 6 years ago. UGH!!

      I also came from the private sector, where things move at a fast pace. Here? Nope. And they talk in circles for months. I’m amazed anything gets done. These are not innovative people by any means.

      You are especially lucky if you ditched it before these past 3 years where the wokiness has taken over.

      I can’t wait to be out of there. I only hope I can get another job. I have an impressive resume, but there are millions of people about to be out of jobs because of the jab.

      • MiddlePeninsula September 3, 2021 at 5:45 pm #

        MaryQueen,
        Here is what happens in a Governmental setting. Folks hack it for a while. If they don’t leave before they are vested in the pension system, they are trapped.
        I worked for state government. It was a soul sucking experience and the most toxic environment ever. All the while, they presented themselves as so caring, such a wonderful workplace….blah, blah, blah. Frankly, I still have nightmares. I stayed until I could manage fifteen years. I was only able to make it work because the house was paid for and I was covered by my spouse’s health insurance. Any young person thinking about a government career should run away fast!

        • MaryQueen September 3, 2021 at 7:41 pm #

        • Yohannon September 4, 2021 at 12:31 am #

          American Indians have IQ’s of about 85, but since many or most have some White in them, many are much higher.

          Blacks have IQ’s of about 70 – retarded by our standards. American Blacks, because of the White genetic input, average out about 85 as well.

          India Indians are all over the place since there are many different peoples there. I believe it averages out about 85, but there are very smart people there of course.

      • thirdcoastlegend September 3, 2021 at 3:13 pm #

            There are several skin-whitening cosmetic preparations that rellay work. One of them is shiitake mushrooms infused in glycerin. Very pricey as a cosmetic preparation, but easily made at home. I tried my homemade version for awhile, as it is also supposed to promote collagen formation. I had to stop using it, as I got to where I looked like Casper the Friendly Ghost.

            Elderflower preparations were used as skin-whiteners in former times, as well.

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

          A very high % of the world’s population favor light skin. Name any country, Africa, India, Korea, anywhere there are brown people they want to be lighter and if not them then their children or grandchildren. When they get the call from the baby ward they don’t inquire about the baby’s health, they ask about the skin color.

          I’ve seen documentaries on this topic. A big issue is the dangers of using skin lightening creams. But they can’t even put a dent in the sale of these products because there is an unshakable cultural desire for light skin. I’ve read lengthy NYT articles, same story.

            We saw the DC police allowing people into the very place the people fund that they said these people should not have been in!

    https://www.globalresearch.ca/oregon-vaccine-mandate-could-lead-mass-exodus-firefighters-paramedics-across-state/5754606

    “Chief Joshua Williams, who moved to the Aurora Fire District in May 2018 after a 12-year career in Depoe Bay, made his position clear in a two-page letter posted to the Aurora Fire District’s social media Friday.

    “This mandate is un-American, as our state government has been weaponized to the point where people are afraid to take a stand,” Williams said. “I will no longer sit silently on the sideline and watch this happen. I love my job, I love the fire service, and more importantly, I love the people that I work with and serve.”

    “I will not abide by the governor’s mandate. Additionally, I will not enforce this mandate on any member of this fire district. In the old America, we used to have choices. Frankly, I do not recognize the country that I live in right now.”

    Williams also noted that 25% or more of the firefighters in his district would also quit to avoid a vaccine mandate. He said this would devastate the ability of the Aurora Fire Department to respond to emergencies.”

      This is good, real good. That governor looks like a real pinprick of a dipshit too. Putting fines like $500 in place for the unvaxxed? Really, this is going way too far.

        The Governor of Oregon is literally playing with fire. Outside of a few blue coastal cities, most of Oregon is comprised of red rural counties that voted for Trump. If she presses these vaccine mandates there will be considerable social upheaval. She risks creating the kind of civil instability that will lay the groundwork for an outbreak of hostilities if the Biden Regime pushes this country into a second civil war.

        Many otherwise law abiding, “Normie,” types will be radicalized if these insane Democrat tyrants don’t give this idea of vaccine mandates a rest. They are treading on very dangerous ground.

        • Linda September 5, 2021 at 7:23 am #

          Actually Wizard of the Saddle it is the Willamette Valley – the I-5 corridor who elect the governor these days. Portland and Eugene with Corvallis thrown in. I’ve lived in Oregon since 1957 when my family immigrated here from the Netherlands. Most of Oregon was red at the time. slowly over time that changed because so many Californians moved up here.

          Now people from the East Coast are flocking here and buying up all the homes. My sister is a realtor and was telling me that houses don’t stay on the market long because everyone, including more Chinese, is flocking to our state. I’m glad I’m old as I don’t like what is happening here. I wish Tom McCall were still here and his slogan of “don’t Californiacate Oregon.”

        Americans need to embrace the tactic of the GENERAL STRIKE. Shut down everything across the State of Oregon on a specific day. It is the best way to demonstrate massive opposition. It has worked in Europe and many third world countries for decades as a way of pushing back against government bullying.

  51. Shrubrake September 3, 2021 at 1:58 pm #

    I beg to differ with Jim about Kamala’s future. We’re all just guessing here, so here’s my take: She will be trotted out as the new president with great fanfare and doublespeak. Two reasons:
    1) The object of stealing the election was not to install good government, but to rub our noses in Trump’s defeat. Kamala will be the cherry on top.
    2) The loyal leftists need to be tested one more time to make sure they’ll go along with all lies. You’ll need to rejoice and praise Kamala or be branded a racist/misogynist.

    • lizharmon September 3, 2021 at 2:08 pm #

      Sideshow. JIm’s right on this. Kamala is disliked across the spectrum. I doubt she’s capable of following monosyllable instructions.

      • MaryQueen September 3, 2021 at 5:48 pm #

        People don’t seem to care any more whether someone is competent or likeable now. Seems as long as there is a D behind their name, it’s all good.

        • JohnAZ September 3, 2021 at 7:21 pm #

          I’d D is behind your name, core to your belief system is that all people are equal, which translates in this case to belief that any one can be President or Vice President, regardless of qualifications.

          Forget resumes, experience does not matter any more, just the color of your skin.

    • cowbell81 September 3, 2021 at 2:09 pm #

      Hmmm, good points all. Time will tell and it keeps getting more interesting. It certainly is always fun to guess and see how low this shit show government will go!

      • Islander September 3, 2021 at 5:27 pm #

        Yes, both points are possible.

        I think it is likely that they will let her give it a whirl in the Oval Office.

        Despite her low popularity. But who cares now what the people think? They will think what they are told to think. They will forget that they hated Kamala and get on board with the celebration of the first woman president.

        They will steer her from behind just like they are steering Biden now.

        It will/would be hard enough to retire Biden. I don’t think TPTB will risk a major constitutional crisis by also sidelining Kamala.

        A new VP will be named, and that person might, like Cheney, be the real pres behind the scenes.

        The Dems can’t afford to play around with Congress. Their majority is too weak.

        They’ve made their bed with Biden-Harris, and now they will have to lie in it.
        Just my take .
        Could well be wrong, of course.

          Democrats in California and in D.C. are starting to wig out over the thought of Newsom getting dumped and Larry Elder becoming governor.

          Apparently Sen. Feinstein has been AWOL and rumors are that she has dementia worse than Biden’s. Elder has said he would name a Republican to the senate if Feinstein were to “retire”.

          So this recall ain’t about crime or homelessness or school choice or Covid lockdowns.

          It’s about Republicans getting control of the Senate.

    • Wizard of the Saddle September 4, 2021 at 6:53 am #

      Shrubrake, I agree with this. Biden was never meant to be anything more than a transitional figure. They know he won’t make it through even a single term of office. The plan all along has been to make Kamala president. Biden was the Trojan Horse. Kamala is the real threat.

    People are overdosing on ivermectin according to this article:

      • JohnAZ September 3, 2021 at 7:17 pm #

        Opioids kill lots of folks and is being basically ignored as a social issue. Why, because drugs finance the national and international debt. If Biden wanted to balance the debt, tax the cartels. But I guess he wants to survive.

        Tylenol kills when overdosed, liver failure.

        Alcohol kills when overdosed. Acutely and chronically.

        Ivermectin overdosing is probably caused by the drug not adequately explained to its users. A little helps a little, a whole lot helps a whole lot, right? Right into your grave.

    Everyone I know and respect is Going Galt, finally. They’re quietly resisting the vax. They’re pulling their kids from public schools, they’re leaving social media in droves, they’re quitting their jobs and living on the residuals. They are, in effect, much harder to control than they were a year ago, if they’re controllable at all. Surely some Democrat somewhere thought of this possibility, no? Probably not. None of them have read Atlas. Rand laid it all out 60 some years ago and now it’s happening. It’s fun to watch. Their whole fucking world is going to come crumbling down. Then they will be hung from trees. Those of us who know how to sacrifice and can deal with a little hardship in our lives will be just fine.

    We are half-animals and the new technology, especially the social media, fucked up a lot of us real bad. Like monkeys going wild in a huge banana warehouse with seemingly endless supply of bananas.

    Parents stopped raising their own children properly and even dating rituals today are some kind of weird combination of American Psycho and Sex and the City. Boys are addicted to porn and girls think they are Kardashian princesses.

    A lot of young and even many not-so-young adults never had a proper childhood with clear boundaries. They were pampered and bribed to the extreme, raised by the social media mostly. Every toy they wanted they got. Today, they are narcissistic, self-obsessed adult toddlers who chase the next Like!

    They are very destructive to any organization they work for. Lord of the Flies zealots. Very prone to black-and-white attitude and they never accept any blame of things gone wrong. It is a shitshow and there are no easy solutions for this.

    It is going to play out to the bitter end but what is different to the Nazis in the 30’s or to the communists in China in the 60’s is that they are total fuckups in organizing anything.

    They are like lunatic asylum inmates trying to establish a Neo-communistic green and diverse rainbow utopia. You saw that in the CHAZ experiment in Seattle last year.

    Farming with pizza taxis, hastily written cardboards, tents, local war lords, smart phones and energy drinks. Trash everywhere. Even a bunch of 10 year old boy scouts could have managed it better. I was totally flabbergasted. They are absolutely total fuckups but there are just too many of them.

      If I was on the front lines of a protest I would have regimented units, professionally printed signs, and each regiment would have designated time slots to march and chant slogans. There would be front line assaults with regularly planned back-ups.

      Tent cities would be constructed in uniform fashion with the best canvas and neoprene. Trash, refuse, and human waste would be relegated to somewhere back of the yards. There would be a designated cooking sector with the highest skilled cooks and bakers taken from among our ranks.

    James Howard: It appears the cool, clear pre fall atmosphere of upstate NY vitiates your thinking to even greater clarity as to the zeitgeist of the times.
    Coved test this morning for an EGD on the 9th. The lab tech was ecstatic when I declared I would never take the jab. She, along with several other medical personnel, are preparing for their probable firing for “cause”. I informed her that I also am awaiting the pink slip in the near future. Didn’t inquire as to the effect on the various departments said people work in but for myself, no other option for someone to take call (two at least, often three days/wk) in the OR. Gonna get real ugly, in that majority of RN’s have school age kids and husbands working odd hours (state trooper, deputy sheriff, police officer). I work “as needed” so no set schedule to hinder my filling in for vacations, school opening etc… Oct 18th deadline for vax so essentially the 15th is final available day to work. Multiply this by how many?
    I am directly aligned with “Chet”, you know, The Farmer. No social media presence (this the lone forum); flip phone, usually in my vehicle turned off, unless on call; garden/canning/stocking up; boocoo wood for stove; no financial anchors around figurative neck. Really BAD attitude towards curtailing my founding fathers given rights.
    I’ll end with a quote attributed to Sun Tzu: Kill one, Terrorize a thousand. Nuff Said.

    The past two years has produced some fascinating revelations…

    That vast numbers of the American people enjoy bondage and slavery…

    That vast numbers of the American people treat the politicians of their particular flavor like great oracles and gods…

    That vast numbers of the American people need a daily Media Fix from their chosen Corporate Media Pusher to keep honest reality from ever breaking through their carefully constructed false reality…

    That vast numbers of the American people trust anyone in a White Medical Coat to possess ultimate infallible knowledge that must be followed without question…

    That vast numbers of the American people will never ever trust anyone in a White Medical Coat ever again to know anything about anything…

    That vast numbers of the American people have become addicted to The Whole Nauseating Game and want no part in ever returning to a sane and free lifestyle…

    That vast numbers of the American people have learned just how Generals became Generals and that many of them have less credibility than those Washington Generals who played (and lost to) the Globetrotters every night…

    That vast numbers of the American people want Lying Teachers to continue to babysit their kids and fill up their minds with the latest and greatest memes of how America is racist and awful and White Folks are racist and awful and Freedom is just plain awful and History and Math and Common Sense and Critical Thinking are racist and awful and to not believe in Climate Change is racist and awful and lots of other things are racist and awful…

    That vast numbers of the American people have come to hate the Tech Moguls while still spending most of their day looking at the little box of magic dancing pixels that’s welded to their hands and minds 24 hours a day…and as they beg for the next shiny things of sorcery to be released…

    That the Dark Powers can keep This Whole Nauseating Game going a lot longer and more effectively than they ever dreamed possible during the best of their game theory exercises leading up to this ongoing National and World Atrocity…

    That vast numbers of the American people prefer Counter Reality to reality. Counter Reality has become their Reality… and reality for the rest of us has become… nauseating and unreal. Not to mention racist and awful.

      The most extreme leftists I know are a couple of gay men (married), who have hardly left the house in about five years. One of them is one of my oldest friends from college. The two of them began self-quarantining in March, 2020. Prior to that, he was in self-quarantine for a couple of years due to leukemia, recovered, and enjoyed an interval of about a year of being out of quarantine before covid hit. His partner has rarely left the house at all since retiring about five years ago, merely out of preference. Both their lives are centered almost entirely on media.

      So there is a longstanding loss of contact with reality and a lack of engagement with life. Of course, many older people are like this, and not all leftists are completely disengaged with life. But you do get the impression that they would all really prefer to have no engagement with life–or none that is not purely social and recreational. There is a disdain for the “doing and building” occupations, and for having children. There is also a pervasive undertow to this mentality: wherever possible, life should be rigidly controlled or even stamped out, lest they be offended, get dirty, or be forced to take responsibility. Re children, the attitude seems to be, “Pinch their little heads off before you get attached to them.”

      In their self-imposed isolation from life, they weave a weird fantasy world where one can be any gender one can dream up (or perhaps a bunny rabbit), and a firm belief that acquiring the necessities of life should be effortless. Having never engaged in productive activities, perhaps they think that houses build themselves, food cooks itself, and clothing magically appears in stores. They live in a kind of hologram where everything is just “there” and cannot understand why these things are being withheld from them by “capitalists.”

    Dr. Howard Markel, a pediatrician, distinguished professor, and director of the Center for the History of Medicine at the University of Michigan, said, a year ago, that people’s mistrust of the system makes the idea that the FDA would rush this process before late stage clinical trials complete, “colossally stupid.

    “This is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard [Trump’s] administration say,” Markel said. “All it takes is one bad side effect to basically botch a vaccine program that we desperately need against this virus. It’s a prescription for disaster.”

    Two things jumped out at me from Prez Biden’s speech this morning;
    1) that 70% of Americans are either looking for a job, or looking for a different job.
    2) that he was begging everyone to pay their ‘fair share of taxes.’

    Taken together, methinks this is an indication that the barter economy is far more widespread than I realized.

    I suppose it would be possible, if you are trading potatoes for onions with your neighbor, to send 30% of your potatoes to the IRS and 10% to your state with each transaction, but I’ve heard that sort of thing makes them grumpy….

    • JohnAZ September 3, 2021 at 6:53 pm #

      70% of the folks looking for a job

      Pre pandemic, these were the millennials and Gen Zers who rarely stuck with a job very long. Now that jobs are getting scarcer and lower paying, job searching will not be as fun. Especially when the next recession hits.

      Begging everyone to pay their fair share of taxes.

      This one really cracks me up. Forty years of giving corporation and rich folks tax breaks with Biden probably in the midst of it. With the way things are in the tax code, Bezos and Amazon are probably paying their fair share. So what is left? Liz’ wealth tax! Then watch the desertion happen.

      He also knows that he will never get a significant tax increase passed. Until the Libs become dictators that is.

        Coming from and being the reprsentative and advocate of the corporate haven Delaware, he has a hell of a nerve exhorting the rest of us to pay taxes.

            It is about corporate pirates.

            Whose base is Delaware, USA.

            Biden’s home state,

            Biden has consistently protected the financial giants including the usurious Visa in his home state. The interest rates, fees, penalties etc. that credit card companies levy would only be possible in Delaware. These have penalized especially poorer Americans, including African Americans.

            The idea of Biden being a champion of minority rights etc is belied by the evidence regarding the harm that Delaware has done and continues to do.

    Whites are by far the most altruistic race as shown by their rate of blood donation. But some blood types found in other races are not found in Whites at all. Thus people who these types often find themselves in trouble since their own people aren’t interested in helping.

    Jim, could you please explain the following contradictions? Like many here, I’m just looking for accurate information, but the following may be a mistake on your part. Thanks.

    The FDA says, on August 23rd, that the vaccine is approved for people over the age of 16 and that it will still be under EUA for people under 16.

    “The latest FDA switcheroo move to “approve” the not-yet-produced (or trialed) genetic therapy agent, “Comirnaty” was intended to fool the public into thinking the current Pfizer-BioNTech “vaccine” was likewise approved. It is not approved. It is still being administered under the emergency use authorization. The quisling news media is lying about it.” JHK 30 August

    https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine

    Genetic therapy agent? This is from the Smithsonian magazine as one of dozens of sources:

    ‘With official FDA approval, the company was allowed to start marketing the vaccine with an official name, Comirnaty. Pronounced koe-mir’na-tee, the term was designed to represent a mash-up of the words Covid-19, community, immunity, and mRNA, the technology used in the vaccine, writes Insider’s Dr. Catherine Schuster-Bruce, a health reporter and National Health Service medical doctor in the United Kingdom’.

      There is a detailed discussion of the legal switcheroo at Peak Prosperity.

      Per Martensen (the FDA docs he shows and discusses), the FDA has given full approval only to Cominarty. However, no juice has actually yet been manufactured under the Cominarty label. The approval is for a product that does not yet exist.

      Cominarty is basically the same and the Pfizer-BioNtech jabs currently being jabbed under the EUA. The EUA for this juice has been extended. But it is still under EUA. Hence, no liability.

      Bottom line, per Martensen or is that Mortensen, anyhow, is that if your employer tries to force you to be jabbed, insist that the vial say Cominarty, the “approved” juice. Since it is approved they carry liability for it. (Of course, since they have not yet produced these vials under the new name and new approval, “they” ( your employer) will try to get you to take the available equivalent. Don’t. Don’t acceptt the older vials. They are screwing around, deliberately trying to confuse the public.

      The old jabs are still under EUA. There is no liability. Even if they contain the same juice, they are not covered by the new “full approval.” Don’t be fooled.

      Truth to tell I don’t find it that easy to use PP’s website, even though I have registered.

      Okay. This is becoming a moot point.

      Just reviewed the cases and more importantly deaths for the US. All you Anti vaxxers may be right but for other reasons.

      What I am seeing is that the virus and it’s variants are winning the battle with the vaccine. Cases and deaths are approaching levels very comparable with last year during the upsurge. Not good, this variant delta is blowing through enough vaxxed folks that when added onto the unvaxxed amounts there is no difference.

      Now mu is showing up that at first study is even more impervious to vaccines, to be continued.

      About the only thing left the vaxxers can claim as an advantage is the lesser intensity of the delta attack. Right now deaths are starting to accelerate so before long, the current edition of the virus may just blow off the vaccine.

      So what is left. Isolation, distancing, n95 masks for up close and personal, and other measures to increase the average social distance.

      Otherwise, virus season is upon us. Take your pick. Do viruses exist? Who cares. Something is out there and is figuring out how to beat our medical technology. Right now, it seems to be controllable. But for how long?

      • Slugoon September 4, 2021 at 3:12 am #

        So what is left. Isolation, distancing, n95 masks for up close and personal, and other measures to increase the average social distance.

        I say none of those things. It’s time to move on. The death toll was never more than a fraction of the population even at its peak without vaccines.

        The UK data is showing much the same, that vaccines are making no appreciable difference to Delta, it’s a coin toss, but what people are missing is that out of 250,000 deaths here barely more than 1,000 are with the crud. It’s a giant nothing.

        It’s time to put it into context and live with it. Those who’d prefer to live by each and every experimental needle can do so, they can mask up if they want to, they can go live in a cave, but we can’t keep doing this for a flu. Unless of course it’s not about the flu…

        • JohnAZ September 4, 2021 at 9:52 am #

          So what is left etc.

          Slugoon, do you really believe the people are going to accept your treatise, that all you can do is just take it, to get sick twice a year as variants roam around the world, that the rate of sickness disrupts the economy twice a year, and there is nothing that can be done about it. In this kind of world, people will stay home, not interface, take any shot someone offers, take any drug someone says works. In other words, do exactly what is starting to happen now.

          Look around, when there are no answers, people distance, people mask, people do not go to work, people do not go to church, all because of the vacuum of answers. The same way the Black Death destroyed the faith of the folks in the Middle Ages and led us away from the dominance of the Catholic Church and the medical practices of the time, The futility of the bureaucracy and today’s medical oligarchy will be destroyed by the crud, crud 1, 2,3,4,5. Etc, etc.

          Until a solution is found, all the separation steps will be followed by most people, just because there are no answers. The vaccine approach is being defeated by the virus itself, and possibly that process may be amplified by the vaccine.

          • Slugoon September 4, 2021 at 10:25 am #

            They probably won’t accept it. The evidence of the past eighteen months proves that. But I disagree that this or any other virus has caused any of those things you’ve mentioned. We’ve done it to ourselves, it’s all self-imposed, tied ourselves up in knots over it. That’s why I’m saying, apply context and live with it. I’m aware it’s unlikely to happen but I cannot support medical tyranny just because I’m desperate to get out of the hole.

          • JohnAZ September 4, 2021 at 10:51 am #

            Have you had the crud? I have not.

            Some of the most effective propaganda by the MSM on the effects of vaccines comes from unvaxxed folks who get the crud and them advise everyone to get vaxxed.

            I do agree with you that this disease has enabled the Left to take over this country, and really the world. You know people, if there is not an answer to a problem, it is the government’s job to fix things.

            Covid could be the unresolvable issue that finally convinces folks that the US Deep State cannot solve much of anything.

            How would I know? It has no effect on most people and since nobody is interested in testing for immunity, preferring instead to peddle and talk about unnecessary “vaccines”, I will probably never know.

            John…..John……John,

            You simply must stop obsessing about catching the virus, and think more about treating it. Think of it like the flu. The risk is really not different enough to warrant all of this obsessive-compulsive hand-wringing.

            Just as we do with many other diseases, the real challenge is management of the disease. This means developing therapies / treatments. Think Ivermectine, Hydroxychloroquin, Vitamin D3, Monoclonal antibodies, etc, etc……..all of which have been discussed in much greater detail here by folks a whole lot smarter than me. It’s not like effective treatments for the sick do not exist.

            I simply refuse to stop living a normal life. You should too. Herd immunity will eventually arrive. The WuFlu will become nothing more than a semiannual nuisance, sickening some and killing very few.

            We are now closing in on two years since the virus arrived here from China. I have refused the jab. I do not mask. I live in Alabama, with one of the highest unvaxxed percentages of the population of any state in the country. Yet, amazingly, despite all of this, I have not caught the virus. I had my blood tested last week for antibodies. Result: Negative. Same for my girlfriend: Negative. We know only a handful of people who’ve even caught the dreaded creepin’ crud – all of whom recovered with minimal difficulties. We know no one who has died of it.

            We live our lives here as normal. Thankfully, the government of the State of Alabama is reasonably sane. No new lockdowns. No new mask mandates. No vaccine passports. None of that crap. Some businesses here try to urge the masks, but are not allowed by law to mandate them. The public mostly goes maskless. Only the elderly, people in feeble health, and Wokesters with feeble minds go around all masked up everywhere. They are the outliers.

            Maybe someday a cure will be found for viral diseases, but for now, we simply must manage them and go on with our lives. When a safe and truly efficacious vaccine is developed for Covid I will happily take it, but I’ll be damned if I’ll allow any tyrannical government, employer, corporation, or any other like-minded entity strong-arm me into injecting experimental vaccines of dubious value and demonstrated harm into my body.

            Every day, John, I wake up a free man, still in control of my own life. I intend to keep it that way for as long as I have the power to do so. I refuse to surrender to this politically driven hysteria. I have a 99.7% of surviving this so-called terror of a virus. I’ll take those odds any day. You should too. There are no 100% guarantees in this world and, in the end, none of us are exiting this wicked old world alive. Don’t waste your precious life hiding in your home in terror of a phantom menace.

            Thanks for laying it out straight for John. He seems like a sweet fellow.

            But his constant winging while still failing to grasp the basics of either the virus, or the “vaccine,” or the psy-op make his posts irritating reading.

            Of course I don’t have to read them, and mostly I don’t. But I feel badly just the same!! I just wonder why he has failed to take up any of the information presented here and stop being hysterical about the virus. As you point out, the virus is not the problem. The jabs are not working and we are being lied to to and oppressed. That is the problem. Not mu, not lambda, not any Greek letter at all!!

            Or course, omega comes to everyone in due time.

            But it is very unlikely that it will do so via the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

          Delta developed in India before the vaccine was widely being used. Variants are natural mutations that vaccines are accentuating. They will continue to show up. I will bet you went LOL when delta was identified in the spring. Mu is out there and on the increase, if it ignores the vaccines, it will cause another surge.

          Remember how variants of the flu virus caused variation of the vaccine every year necessary?

          Well, this crud seems to speed up the process. You can get sick multiple time a year.

          Solution to the flu? Treat the symptoms if you get it.

          Is that the only answer to the crud too? Maybe!!

        • pranah September 4, 2021 at 12:12 pm #

          Yes, I recently saw a graph in a different video showing how COVID was on the downward slope until The Vaxxing. This is exactly how other infectious diseases behaved in the past, but vaxxes took the credit for their declines.

          The excellent book by Humphries and Bystrianyk, _Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History_, discusses this in minute detail.

          Covid at this juncture is just a flu as it has already taken out a lot of the folks susceptible to it.

          No one wants to get the flu either!!! People want answers.

          • Slugoon September 4, 2021 at 10:31 am #

            It might sell once people find that their behaviour is not only causing severe social problems but is eventually going to lead to loss of their own income and sanity. If we go on like this there won’t be a functioning society left. Pull your socks up.

            C’mon Slugoon. The people taking responsibility for the good of society? Since when, and especially with the last two generations and their indulged state.

            We have two tools to offset the crud, vaxx and distancing. Neither work. What happens when both becomes obvious to the general public.

            Masks are harmful as fuck, and they also are torture, esp to the poor kids being abused by being forced to wear them.

            Again: THEY DO NOTHING.

            This has been proven time and time again. Just stop with the pro-establishment regurgitation, or you’re no better than the liberal Covid Death Cultists who post their CNN pap here.

          • Slugoon September 4, 2021 at 11:07 am #

            Well, they’re going to have to come to a conclusion in their own mind. Live in fear or live their life.

            There are still 30 year-olds near me who are walking around wearing masks, people who aren’t and never were under any threat. They are weak, I have no other word for it. I don’t care what they do but I hope the rest of us just leave them behind.

            @ JAZ

            Sick twice a year?

            Do you get the flu twice a year? Every year?

            It’s a nonsensical assertion. Anybody who’s made it to the age of 15 has been exposed to countless coronaviruses.

            A significant chunk of the population, very likely a significant majority, has some natural immunity to coronaviruses, including this one and all its “variants”.

            Eighteen months into this pandemic, the US with a population of 320 million has recorded about 40 million confirmed cases. Whether that case number is inflated or undercounted is a debate for another day but at face value 280 million people have either been locked in their basements for 18 months or have been out in the world, exposed to this supposedly end-of-the-world pathogen, and have been just fine. It’s likely some combination of the two but the idea that everybody is a sitting duck, waiting helplessly to get sick twice a year is absurd on its face.

            I guess I don’t have the fear gene so I have a hard time understanding that mentality. In the bigger existential picture, we’re all dead men walking. No one makes it off the planet alive. Acceptance of that irrefutable fact and living one’s life accordingly seems a helluva lot better alternative than succumbing to endless fear and paranoia.

          • Wizard of the Saddle September 4, 2021 at 3:08 pm #

            John,

            Yes, it does sell. We risk flu every stinking year. Some get sick. Some die. Every year. Without fail. We LIVE with the various strains of the flu virus because we have to. We do not obsess about flu. We pay attention to it. We try to vaccinate against it. We treat the sick who come down with it. We accept the fact that we are all mortal and that SOMETHING is gonna get all of us eventually. We are not immortal beings.

            What we don’t do:

            We don’t lock down the country for weeks every year. We don’t issue mask or vaccine mandates for flu. We don’t coerce or shame people into taking experimental vaccines to try to eliminate all flu. We don’t abridge essential liberties over a regularly recurring disease in the general population. We don’t lose our minds and obsess about the flu. It hardly merits much media attention annually outside of informing the public when flu season is underway.

            It is time to stop being a Covid Karen.

          • Anthea September 5, 2021 at 6:50 am #

            I fail to see the novelty of “people getting sick twice a year.” This has been the norm (at least once a year, anyway) since forever.

            Do you also not accept that we will all die? The covidian cult seems to believe that no one ever died before.

            Whence comes this weird imperative that no one ever get the sniffles? Plus, the US (and the world) has real diseases that would be better addressed: heart disease, cancer, antibiotic-resistant TB, etc.Obsessing about covid is not far removed from having a meltdown because one of your egg yolks broke when you were cooking breakfast.

            You are refusing to confront your mortality, and the inherent fragility of life, apparently in the expectation of a perfect world without minor inconveniences–without death even. Do you expect the New Jerusalem to descend from the heavens at the summons of the government and the CDC? You seem to be worshipping at the wrong altar.

            Care for the sick, care for the living, care for the dead.

        • JohnAZ September 4, 2021 at 10:12 am #

          Who gives a damn about the fatality rate, people care about getting sick. Especially if the disease happen two or three times a year.

YOU are the only one, JAZ who keeps nattering on about “feeling better with the jab” or “not getting as sick” And, you clearly didn’t even read before you just posted – No one ever gets the flu twice a year every year.

      Yes, and here in Germany: In Baden-Württemberg, Germany, autopsy investigations reveal 30% to 40% of deaths were caused by the jab, says Chief Pathologist at University of Heidelberg, 01 Aug 2021.

      “In Baden-Württemberg arbeiteten die Pathologen daher mit Staatsanwaltschaften, der Polizei und niedergelassenen Ärzten zusammen, berichtet Schirmacher. Mehr als 40 Menschen habe man bereits obduziert, die binnen zwei Wochen nach einer Impfung gestorben sind. Schirmacher geht davon aus, dass 30 bis 40 Prozent davon an der Impfung gestorben sind.”

        Actual autopsies?? Yay! Didn’t read article (translated to English) because I don’t want to accept any settings (required before you can see article)–alas. I will take your word for it. How do the autopsy results confirm the deaths were caused by the jab? Could you give us a bit more information, please and thank you?

        Also, I just watched another interview with Dr. Peter McCullough. He says that the VAERS data is authenticated by the CDC, and that =87% of the reported deaths were verified to have been caused by the jabs=.

        • pranah September 5, 2021 at 11:51 pm #

          Thanks, Islander! Read it–sadly, no results reported from the autopsies, except (as Night Owl notes, above) it appeared that 30-40% of the deaths were caused by the jabs. I was hoping for more detail.

          I would love to see this autopsy series compared to the VAERS data re: 87% of the reported deaths verified to have been caused by the jabs. Of course, the people reported to VAERS were probably not autopsied, so there’d have to be case reports to go along with autopsy reports in the German series. Now that would be interesting, and hopefully instructive.

    Well, Labor Day Weekend in Chi is getting off to an auspicious start. On State Street, that great street, Jalwaun Welbrooks, age 35, walked into a branch of Chase Bank, had a few words with employee Jess Vilaythong, recent college graduate, then fatally stabbed her in the throat.

    This happened in one of Chicago’s ‘Safe’ neighborhoods’, where just yesterday two White men were nearly beaten to death, stripped and robbed in broad daylight, in the middle of the day.

    I know, I know, just Red Herring events — not worth a notice.

      These increasingly frequent incidents of negro men assaulting and murdering random whites (and sometimes other non-black ethnics), out of no other apparent motive but the desire to KILL WHITEY are the expected outcome of the 365/24/7 anti-white race hate campaign by the Left that demonizes white people – rendering each of us as fit targets for this type of potentially lethal aggression.

      THIS is why I carry concealed. It is not a 100% guarantee that you will survive such violence, but it at least confers the possibility of successfully fending off such attackers.

      This is mainly a problem facing urban whites in major blue cities where law enforcement and the courts have been crippled, but the Lefties want to spread this kind of crime to every corner of the country. It is all part of the plan to destabilize and collapse the republic.

      They should be careful of what they wish for. There are MILLIONS in this country who are prepared and ready for delivering a terrible reckoning to these communist race nuts once the fucking gloves come off. Many of us are formerly military, former cops, for intelligence officers, and some are still serving as we speak.

      Not every armed federal agent, local LE, or military serviceman is a disciple of promoting tyrannical government. I certainly never was and I never will be. And I greatly resent the people who are actively working to destroy what little freedom we have remaining in this once very free country.

    Turns out much of the State of the Art military hardware left behind in Afghanistan is ending up in Iran. Iran is paying hard cash for the stuff, cash which the Taliban sorely needs.

    Meanwhile, the Biden Administration has a new worry: how to provide ‘Culturally Sensitive Meals’ to the 150,000 arriving Afghan refugees.

        Everybody seems to knock McDonald’s and Burger King ,

        and to exalt The Declaration of Independence.

        This East German has always seen it very much the other way around ;

        The Cheeseburger and the Hot Dog are great general symbols of what is , or was , the very best about America

        Something convenient , and tasty , and serves both a basic need , and a basic desire , but for any average Joe . Not just for Kings , or the Elect.

        As for the Declaration of Independence ?

        Sorry , but it was cheap , typical , garden variety war propaganda , and that’s all it ever was.

        Calling George III should appear simply ludicrous to anyone who bothers to study the man ten minutes.

        And I really don’t think you have to be some kind of BLM Shill , or Leftist fruit loop ,

        to think twice about a guy who never owned less than 100 slaves in his entire life , telling anyone what equality or inalienable rights are.

        Anyway , I for one always thought American cuisine was great , something to brag about !

        German beer is better though I think.

        And a few beers for lunch is not , I think , generally a bad idea , but generally a good idea.

        Americans don’t need to wake up , they need to chill the fuck out .

        On the other hand , though , when Americans get drunk they start stabbing each other , and shit like that.

          Funny.

          On German beer, however, I must say that after such a long time here, I have come to the conclusion that the only good beer comes from small villages in Franken or greater Bavaria. Hefeweizen, Doppelbock, etc. And ofc variants of Rauchbier.

          A lot of German beer is of the Pilsner or Helles varieties, which are really not far removed from Budweiser. And don’t even get me started on Kölsch and Alt.

          I make beer runs to Belgium. Nothing beats Trappist beer.

            Back in the day, when Ct package stores closed at 8:00 pm, and Mass. package stores closed at 10:00 pm, we’d make desperate beer runs up US10 to the State Line packy in Southwick. You had that 2 hour window of opportunity if you weren’t sufficiently stocked up for the weekend. It was about a 35 minute drive if you were hauling ass, and we were usually hauling ass. Pretty much the only beer available then was Budweiser.

            About an hour. It is like beer heaven, as even the regular grocery stores have somewhere in the range of 60 or so different beers on offer.

            And the actual beer shops there are legendary. I tend to stick with my favs tho. — Rochefort 10, St. Bernardus Abt, Gulden Draak, and Westmalle dubbel.

            If there are any beer geeks among us, it may interest you to know that the legendary and very difficult to obtain Westvlteren 12 is actually the same beer as St. Bernardus 12. St B. is the commercial version brewed outside abbey walls, and the coolest part is that it actually stuck with the original recipie that calls for Westmalle hops whereas Westvlteren is no longer true to itself!

            I always steer clear of the Belgian beers in supermarkets here. Very expensive, maybe even more so than 12 yo scotch whiskey!

            Dr. Gonzo —

            A normal 33 cl bottle in a supermarket is between 1.50 and 3 euros, depending on the beer.

            I have on occasion also ordered straight from an abbey, where the price is perhaps 25 cents cheaper per bottle.

            The prices in the US were outrageous, but I would occasionally indulge, as they are just too good.

      That reminds me of a reactionary Woke article in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo massacre of eleven journalists by Muslim “cultural victims”.

    As JHK says, lies, lies, lies. Lying politicians, lying oligarchs, lying teachers, everybody lying and to what end? Easy, lying in service of their own interests.

    As for the massive edifice of government and its sprawling unelected bureaucracies, do you think it’s all there to help? Well, yes, it is, itself, not you.

    This road has to end. Anybody with a few flickering brain cells will tell you that much, the question being how? Many ways this could happen but gradually and then all at once, to paraphrase Hemingway, is how it all goes down, if I had to guess.

    The way for any country to exist is for its economy to function. The problem is that this economy was rebuilt this past few decades in such a way that it no longer works.

    You can see that with your own two eyes. The US has gone from widespread prosperity to widespread desperation with half the people barely keeping the repo-man at bay. And these desperados, according to Romney in his infamous secretly recorded 47% speech, not even earning enough to pay income tax.

    The suits in the Eccles Building say the way forward is to invent money out of thin air to fill in pieces of the economy that were sent overseas long ago. Any half-wit will tell you that won’t work but apparently even half-wits are smarter than the degreed professionals in charge of monetary policy. The question is whether this solution is the work of serious scholars because if so then I would say that scholarship is in a dire state, disastrously miseducating some of the world’s most powerful officials. But the alternative is dreadful, because in my books, dishonesty is worse than incompetence. Of course there’s no rule saying you can’t have both dishonesty and incompetence, with dishonest incompetents in charge, pulling the levers.

    Back to the question, how does the road end? A cliff maybe, with a Wile E Coyote style splat and a puff of smoke? Or maybe something less kinetic and less comical, but maybe sadder, a modern-day Romulus Augustulus in the Oval Office being told to hit the road.

    Then the question is who will be the Odoacar that does the deed? Does anyone have the stones nowadays? I doubt it will be anything as dramatic as the Chinese ambassador making the trip to the White House to do it himself and I doubt that the Chinese will be dumb enough to inflict an expensive war with a nuclear armed adversary when a bit of judicious waiting would do the trick. After all, the last I checked, time isn’t as much an object with them, Chinese officialdom not having election cycles to worry about. They would know not to interfere when their rival is busy destroying himself.

    No, I don’t think that external conquest will be the final stroke, I think internal decay will do it, that doddering old fool as chief exec symptomatic of national rot and exemplifying that very thing. But still, the ending, that’s the question, how does it end? Will there be a line in time like 476 AD where people say, this is it?

    • MaryQueen September 3, 2021 at 11:01 pm #

      Trump’s lies were obvious and transparently false to all, to the point of being innocuous (even humorous)… mostly went like this: “i’m one of the most successful real-estate developers of all time..”

      “the greatest liar in the history of the world, ever”

      what adult posts that

    • KesaAnna September 3, 2021 at 10:54 pm #

      ” At least the greatest liar in the history of the world, ever, ”

      My guess would be that Honest Abe would be laughing his ass off in Hell if he heard that.

      But then …….. I reckon neither Abraham Lincoln , nor Donald Trump , nor Joe Biden either , ever successfully lied to anyone who wasn’t already lieing to themselves sufficiently anyway.

        The greatest lie of all, that the Deep State serves the people, puts all the other lies in context. All the people in the Deep State lie for a living, it is how the system works.

        Watch House of Cards. I believe there is no exaggeration at all.

        Kevin Spacey IS the Deep State personified. Note that he kills to get his way.

    “Don’t tread on me”, is what that rattlesnake is saying in its laconic and no-nonsense manner. Pretty sure it was the same rattlesnake that was known to say, “Join or die”. Practical advice now as when the snake first warned us twenty score and five years ago.

    We the People, once again, find ourselves under the yoke of criminally parasitic psychopaths to whom we are nothing more than troublesome chattel to be sold, traded and disposed of as economically as possible. Nothing will be accomplished by thousands or even millions of uncoordinated acts of resistance – except thousands or even millions of tiny points of light being quietly snuffed out.

    When Uncle $am pulls the rug out from under us, we’d better be prepared to feed, educate and medicate ourselves. While the shootin’ part of any coming disfunction gets a lot of attention, if we can’t prevent the unravelling of the fabric of society, we will have nothing left to fight for but the lives of our families. Seems we have some weaving to do, and not much time to do it.

      Time is never on your side. Something comes up that needs doing and you think, well, I have time. Except that no you don’t have time because as sure as can be, something else happens and the time you thought you had dissipates like early morning mist.

      As for pulling the rug out, in wide areas of the country, and other countries too, it’s already been done, collapse isn’t something to deal with in the murky future, it’s here and now and has been for years. In my hometown and the towns nearby, once full of factories, all gone. Fifty years ago on Friday and Saturday nights the downtowns were full of people. No more. I walk from the bus station to my mother’s place and in that 20 minute walk – half of it down Main Street – I see some cars going by but not a single soul on the sidewalk. .

      My sister and I moved away a long time ago. Had to. My mother is moving in a couple of months a few minutes from my sister. Only things left are graves, my dad’s and grandparents’, some friends and a few other relatives. Graves, that’s it.

        Once upon a time if you started in , say , Michigan , and went to Oregon , you would know immediately , and emphatically that you were in …. well …. another COUNTRY.

        ( Though precisely that term , ” Country ” is taboo in America when used in that particular context. )

        And likewise Mississippi was obviously not the same country as Oregon , and Mississippi was clearly not Maine.

        Ironicially now you HAVE achieved one country , one culture .

        But the result is that nobody really has a home.

        The dirty little secret of America , and it will never go away ,

        is that it never was one country.

        And it never will be.

        And you cannot correct that , alter that , or ameliorate that ,

        except to make it worse in stubbornly refusing to see it.

        You are not the Roman Republic .

        You are the Roman Empire , which actually no one ever really loved.

          A superb point, Kesa…..and one that Southern nationalists here in Dixie have been making since the mid-1990’s.

          What was once viewed as extremist thinking is now quite mainstream common sense and common knowledge.

          Even concepts like State sovereignty, State’s Rights, Nullification, and even Secession are enjoying a strange new level of respect from millions of citizens once taught to ridicule these ideas as obsolete and antiquainted notions with no standing in the modern America we live in.

          How times, and attitudes, have changed.

          Southern Nationalism was nothing more than a moniker for people with Southern drawls who held the silly idea that they should be able to choose their own government and engage in self-government.

          I know…..volatile stuff, that is.

          Imagine the chutzpah of these white Southern crackers? Who are these rubes to think they have a right to decide how they will be governed?

      • JohnAZ September 4, 2021 at 9:24 am #

        Yeah. The country has already shifted from a conservative rural population to a an urban liberal one. It has taken 120 years to do it and has been enabled by the advent and advance of petroleum energy.

        The immigration influx that is dividing the country and impoverishing it is going to the cities.

        People are not supposed to live so damn close together. Personal space is nonexistent where subways and light rail are dominant transportation. Minimal personal space whether elm or pine trees, or human beings develops disease.

        Lousy personal space breeds “walls” between people. “Walls” make for tribal hatred, gangs, drugs, gangs then cartels. Diversity amplifies hatred and leads to the unrest and violence we are witnessing now.

        The rise of the megapolis has already killed the essence of America. The only questions left deal with how to divide the spoils.

        • JohnAZ September 4, 2021 at 9:27 am #

          The reason cities are so liberal is they have no choice. Everything is brought to them, they produce nothing themselves. They are totally dependent.

    The subject of Jim’s excellent post — and the comments on that post — have reminded me of the “Address to the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois” that Abraham Lincoln made on January 27, 1838, the text of which may be found on the “Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln” website maintained by the University of Michigan. When I looked at that “Address” tonight, I saw, for the first time, that the title Lincoln gave to the speech was “The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions.” The real title of the speech makes its content even more relevant to our situation. Here are two observations that Lincoln made in that speech:

    “At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

    At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

    And,

    “The question recurs ‘`how shall we fortify against it?’ The answer is simple. Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor;—let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own, and his children’s liberty. Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap—let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges;—let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs;—let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; . . . .”

    “Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
    ? Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride

    Prisoners of men’s dreams! What a tough realization for a feminist. She’s built, body and mind, for something she doesn’t want to do or be.

    Not that women don’t have great power – but it’s within this context and no other for the most part. And she rejects it.

    Of course one can go beyond “life”. The witness is ultimately not some inner male looking at you. What paranoia! Your higher Self is the Witness. Or God if you will. But she or her character at least, can’t see it that way because she’s stuck in the projection. Don’t say it’s “his”. Own it – it’s yours.

    O.G. HAWKINS,

    A friend of mine did some work for Crosby, a few years back.
    He has a beautiful country home in Santa Inez?

    I found this [actually I saw some byrds tv cut and wondered how short is david? maybe 5’7′?

    Crosby—-
    Neil Young, he said, was “probably the most self-centered, self-obsessed, selfish person I know. He only thinks about Neil, period. That’s the only person he’ll consider. Ever!”

    When asked if the rock icon would agree, Crosby said: “Probably. He knows himself pretty well.”

    Crosby said any impression fans may have of Nash caring for him when he was down on his luck and the two toured as a duo was just for show. and money.

    [odd NY is a zillionaire].

      Yes, I know all that, malth.

      I appreciate his art and I appreciate that his independent (“odd”) spirit in combination with his simplistic musical genius allowed him to “cut his own swath” in a way that no one else did or, probably, could.

      But so what? You don’t like him? Fill yer boots!

      I was merely correcting your factual errors. He does not “tirelessly lecture” against Alberta Oil Sands and he did not advocate the Afghan War by releasing the single Let’s Roll.

      Simple facts.

      I never said that he’s a Good guy (although my definition of Good may vary from yours).

      —–

      As for Crosby, like I say, CSN is an opening act while CSNY fills NHL rinks. Neil’s the boss. Crosby is bitching about his selfish boss. What else is new?

      —–

      Seriously, though, malth. CFN is not the People magazine comments section. Let’s move on from celebrity gossip while they are running their global depop program against us with a complicit US Gov’t. That’s what matters.

    ” I would say that we are in the midst of morphing from a state of inverted totalitarianism, where faceless corporations rule the roost and provide the illusion of democracy through controlled elections, to something much more like global feudalism. ”

    ” The “Feudalism” tag is too mild for this horror, Owl. ”

    Hmm ,

    first some humor ;

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpyCm9WnJ3A

    ( Since discovering that song three days ago , I must have sung it 75 times by now. Lol ! )

    Now , seriously , what I call myself is a Feudalist.

    Granted , I use that term for lack of another.

    So I will try to describe what I mean , and hopefully as briefly as possible.

    First I will start with a definition which frankly I got from a childrens book many years ago., but which seems to me as good as any , and as good now as it was so many years ago ;

    In Feudalism everyone is someones vassal.

    Even the Holy Roman Emperor is vassal , and so even is the Pope.

    Granted , admittedly , No , that’s not how it worked out in reality.

    But that was the idea.

    And on that score , did the Communists in the East practice what they preached ?

    And if the Republicans in the West practiced what they preached , then what are you doing hanging around CFN ?

    ( Inlcluding Kunstler I reckon . Lol. )

    By Feudal , I imagine a society where no one is ashamed to say , ” I am a ditch – digger or a toilet scrubber. ”

    Indeed , they would be proud to say so.

    And when a man is informed that the old King is dead , and now he is King , his reaction would be likely to be ,

    ” Oh shit ! Woe is me ! My carefree partying days are over ! Now I am slave to anyone and everyone with a want or a need ! ”

    Another way that I might describe my Feudalism is with a formula ;

    — The first government is the family.

    ( And it seems to me that in such a conception , and ordering of priority , the first priority of society is to create an individual who is as self – sufficient as possible.

    Without self – sufficiency , you can never really help mom and dad , brothers and sisters , spouses , and your children. Indeed , without it , it is questionable that you ever CAN have children that are in any meaningful way YOUR children. )

    — The second government is the Church .

    ( Whatever church that may be locally. And in this case I would say that religion is not primarily a personal fancy , opinion , or belief ,

    EXCEPT the BELIEF that 500 or a thousand previous generations may not have been as stupid , ignorant , or backward as the teenager supposes.

    So we might then say that religion is custom and tradition.

    That may not be glamorous. That may be boring. That may be disappointing.

    But my experience seems to have pretty consistently been that the un- glamorous , boring , disappointing things are the things that work. )

    — And the folks who make licenses plates and issue fishing licenses are a very distant third government.

    And whether you perceive it that way or not , those folks are always very far away. They might as well be on Mars.

    They are strangers who , more often than not , have no fucking idea what they are doing , regardless of whether they say , or appear , otherwise ,

    and most often do not know what the fuck they are doing precisely because they are strangers.

    When I say ” Feudalism ” I do not have in mind some gold – plated 2 % ensconced in Versailles ,

    while the 90% live in cardboard shacks.

    Sparta was arguably the pre – eminent military power in ancient Greece.

    But , more importantly than that , I think , nearly every contemporary observer I have encountered in my readings admits to having been impressed by Spartans ,

    whether they liked the Spartan in question , or detested the Spartan in question.

    Impressed .

    But what did this Sparta look like ?

    Here is how one eyewitness foreigner described it ;

    ” Suppose the city of Sparta to be deserted, and nothing left but the temples and the ground-plan, distant ages would be very unwilling to believe that the power of the Lacedaemonians was at all equal to their fame. Their city is not built continuously, and has no splendid temples or other edifices; it rather resembles a group of villages, like the ancient towns of Hellas, and would therefore make a poor show ”

    This is the Feudalism I have in mind.

    Like another Feudalist once said ,

    ” I fancy that I stand for the rights of the peasant more than do you Republicans with your fancied innovations . ”

    ( It was Charles I. Granted , I think he was a rather bad King. But I do not doubt that he was sincere. )

    I REALLY love that part.

    As it was written by a fellow who , except for a few months or weeks , was home – schooled or self – schooled.

    Hmmmmmmmm.

    Everyone says they want to make the child self – sufficient , capable , and intelligent.

    And it’s bullshit.

    Unfortunately what the average person wants is a child cast , forcibly if necessary , into the mold of his own fancies , likes and dislikes.

    Which might be OK , if it were his own fucking kid.

    Except it isn’t his kid.

    And More often that not , a kid he doesn’t even know.

    And truth be told , a kid he wouldn’t want to know.

    A kid he doesn’t even like , much less would he love.

    Again , you HAVE achieved Abraham Lincoln’s aim ;

    You have one country .

    One culture.

    The bad news of that is it means that country and culture belongs just as well to the Pakistani who just got off the boat yesterday ,

    who hates your fucking guts.

    No , your interest is in your own household.

    Order that if you will.

    America ?

    Has nothing to do with you and yours , never did , and it never will.

    You propose to manage a continent ? Four Time Zones ?

    Typically now the average person can not in any sense truthfully say they even manage their own neighborhood.

    Presidential elections are so life – and – death vitally important now precisely because if the White House were picked up and moved to Moscow , or to Mars , it would not substantially alter the situation .

    Power does not reside in any particular location anymore ,

    but in an abstraction ,

    and arriving at that abstraction was precisely the point.

    The American Civil War was not about your heart bleeding for South Carolina.

    You didn’t give a fuck about Vietnam .

    You didn’t give a fuck about Afghanistan.

    ” Fine ! ”

    One of you folks is welcome to take care of my 80 – year old American father ,

    and my 70 – year old American mother.

    And I suspect that would be rather amusing.

      But then the ludicrous thing about the American Civil war is ;

      Have you ever seen South Carolina ?

      Have you ever seen Mississippi ?

      It is not stupid that Confederates would fight to keep such shitty places .

        I agree, Kesa. As much as I am an aficionado of all things Southern, I’m not a fan of our climate. Been sweating in it all of my life. Plan to leave it all behind for the cooler climes of the Rocky Mountain northwest for retirement. I absolutely thrive in cold weather. Even snow bothers me not in the least.

        • Islander September 4, 2021 at 8:22 pm #

          I hate hot weather.

          Makes me sick.

          Cold weather sanitizes. It kills all kinds of things that infect and kill or sicken other organisms.

          I was going to say I intend to stay north of the kudzu line, but when I looked up online to find out where it is (expecting maybe Maryland or some thing) it turns out it has invaded all five boroughs of NYC. And looks to have advanced to Cape Cod:

          BTW when I did a search for “kudzu line” it turns out there is actually a new bike trail in Atlanta called the Kudzu Line . . .

            I love the South and I love the heat. I worked a job once when I was a lot younger that involved loading 110 lb. burlap bags of peanuts in a box car. You don’t know what hot is till you’ve worked in a boxcar sitting out in the Georgia sun in August. I don’t really love the heat so much now that I’m old, but I can still deal with working hard in it. You just have to pace yourself. The crew consisted of 8 to 10 guys, mostly black with myself and two other whites. Had a young black buck moved down from Brooklyn and was hired to join us. He went to lunch at noon and never came back. That happened a lot. Yes, I love the heat and the humidity too, muggier the better. Here’s to the deep south and all the goddamn darkies and redneck crackers too, cheers.

      The US is in the throes of a reject God evolution. Man knows best, who needs God.

      If America is any indication, we all do!

      Man is evil in nature, that is why every time Man thinks God does not matter, Man degrades toward his evil nature.

        It is my Belief that God will forgive you of almost anything.*

        God wants 1 man and 1 woman for life but will forgive you if you repent your sins. He knows your failings but also your heart.

        *Blasphemy can be unforgiveable. Leading the young away from God (e.g. Gene Simmons) is a millstone-around-your-neck sin.

        God does not want you to fail. He loves you and He wants you to succeed. He loves a comeback story. The wayward son.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-caught-telling-another-whopper/ar-AAO4HnN?ocid=msedgntp

    This guy has lead a charmed life and cheated his way into the job he can’t do and it’s still not enough he instinctively knows even with all of this he is boring and a loser.

    Mental illness on display!

    I had a co-worker who was smart and very good at manipulating people.
    She would talk and mesmerize people until you really listened to her.

    She told me two whoppers one that she was in the Olympics as a shot putter.
    She was Obese even in High school.
    Right in front of her I looked up her name and Olympics she forgot Google tells all and shows all.
    I asked her why there was no record of this.
    She turned around and waddled off to the sound of me chuckling.

    A couple of months later she started talking about when her and her brother were playing a Metallica song and out of the crowd came the lead singer for Metallica. He exclaimed hey that’s my song and asked if he could sing along. I simply asked her for the pictures.
    She is of the age when not having her phone on her at all times would have driven her crazy. Dead pan voice and stare she told me she did not have it on her at the time. I exclaimed so your brother had his right?
    Again she walked off with my chuckling.

    Well wouldn’t you know it I got reports of her bad mouthing me calling me a liar and that I did not work and that she did everything.

    She lied and worked her way out of contractor status to employee with a schedule A for migraines.
    Flash forward a year or so and she was walked out the door for lying, stealing time off and saying she was on the job when she was home sitting on the couch.

    Fucking Karma man LOVE it when you see someone who deserves a solid dose of it.
    So often we are not around to see the people who lie, cheat, steal and engage in douche baggery get theirs in the end.
    Moral of the story eventually they get it and so will ugly kid joe and the hoe.

      benr, I love your story & thanks for sharing. We’ve all had this coworker, I swear! I wish I would have had the guts to call them out on their lies in such a fun manner as you have.

      Yes, even if Jo Jo Magoo ‘wins’ he loses. Because he’s a lying POS.

      In his address to the nation, he went out of his way to say that the ONLY interest the US had in Afghanistan was getting Bin Laden. We weren’t there for ANY other reason. Right, Magoo.

      Whoops, I guess he doesn’t know we’ve seen the opium production charts, which show exactly what the US was doing there, and selling here. I suppose the opioid crisis didn’t kill enough people or make us compliant as they thought it was so it had to be abandoned for better stuff, like covid19.

      Why did he go out of his way to say that? These people just can resist being condescending.

    • MaryQueen September 4, 2021 at 11:27 am #

      I worked with a HelpDesk team once for a law firm, and we were all in a lab together, and I think about 1/3 were black. One of the black women was this tall and well put-together sort, I mean, she always looked super professional. But she couldn’t do even the most rudimentary stuff. And so, we’d end up covering for her just because it was easier to do that than confront her. But finally some people did start getting annoyed enough to say something, and that’s when the claims of ‘racism’ started. Everything was racist, even when it was another black person telling her she had fucked up. This is why when CRT came along, I was able to spot the bullshit. It reads just like that coworker who called everything, including pens, whiteboards and a ringing phone, racist (one of the things she did that drove us all nuts was wait forever to pick up her phone).

      I also had one of those narcissists like you mention, as a boss, and that was a fucking nightmare. The good part was, when I quit, I had saved up all my vacation. They required a 2 week notice, so I gave notice then told them I’d be using my 2 weeks’ vacation. LMAO. The look on her face.

          Unfortunately to understand this limerick I penned some 25-30 years ago will take some explaining.

          My good friend Chris was the head of our IT department. IT had a group known as the Help Desk.

          Chris hired a pretty and large busted Indian girl to help handle an onslaught of technical/computer problems that cropped up in the Company.

          I emailed this to a bunch of my male coworkers:

          When complaints from Help clients grew loud

          Chris got Zarna and did himself proud

          She don’t know bytes from bits

            The bolding tells you where to place the emphasis when reading the limerick. Numerically it would look like this where 2 is the bolded word or syllable:

        No two days afer her being walked out of the building our for lack of a better word Deprtment head that moved heaven and earth to hire her walked in.
        She made it clear contact with her would cause us issues if found out.
        They fired her for not doing her job as well.
        Part of her job involved ladders and being 400 pounds and 5’5 made it difficult for her to one climb one and two most ladders rate weightings stop around 240.
        I don’t like her but I hope she wins her lawsuit and gets a heavy pay out.
        They are now doing the same song and dance with me but for my coarse customer skill.
        Odd I had zero complaints for 15 years and then they promoted a man hating lesbian to department head. With the mantra of lead with yes as her slogan.

          Another wonderful story about bad management.
          Downstairs is a separate network used for well I can’t say but it has three network admins.
          During the height of Covid orders to stay home they made these three guys come in at the same time.
          Within two weeks of working full time all three came down with the crude being called covid.
          Two of them got over it fairly easily but the older guy got pretty sick for about a month.
          They were all told to return to work and when the older guy pointed out that they all got sick as a bad result of bad policy he was written up for insubordination.

    I think Yohannon is correct about the Ivermectin situation having the Streisand Effect.

    More and more people are taking it now and trying to buy it, from what I can see.

    Interesting back and forth between MDs sent to me by a friend:

    “From the comment section of one of FOUR articles on Medscape telling doctors NOT to prescribe Ivermectin. (I’m not kidding, that was the only subject in this dispatch. )

    Watch him do a 180 so fast he probably had to be treated for dizziness.

    Dr. john graham
    Does Ivermectin work in Covid infection? It ABSOLUTELY worked for me personally. Has Ivermectin, used in proper dosage, EVER been shown to be harmful (allergic reactions, etc. notwithstanding)?

    We all know the answer to that, which raises another question – why the concerted media effort to suppress it’s use? Maybe because Fauci, et. al. stand to make millions? Simple control of the populace? Political face saving? Most probably all three.

    Dr. Larry Scheuer
    @Dr. john graham

    How do you know it worked for you? Most people survive without problems and many have minor symptoms or are asymptomatic.

    Dr. Eric Schindler
    @Dr. Larry Scheuer @Dr. john graham Good point, Dr. Scheuer. So you feel COVID really isn’t that much of a concern as most people do fine. Dr. Graham’s decision appears reasonable as the risk with Ivermectin is relatively low and he feels it helps. Had I not already had COVID, that would be my choice as well.

    Dr. Larry Scheuer
    @Dr. Eric Schindler @Dr. Larry Scheuer @Dr. john graham

    No, COVID is a huge concern. But I do not believe that Ivermectin is the holy grail and it is being touted as such. There are low risk patients that have covid and have taken Ivermectin and they have died. The bottom line is that most people survive covid but people still die from it or suffer permanent disability from Cardiomyopathy, MI, PE, Renal Failure and many other morbidities.”

    Hahahaha!

    • SoftStarLight September 4, 2021 at 2:57 pm #

      Wow, I wonder if Scheuer is invested in Pfizer?

      Just out of curiosity, after reading a comment in CFN about strikingly low Covid-19 rates in Equatorial African countries, with the suspicion that the Ivermectin prescribed for river blindness may have been a factor, I came across this Japanese medical study. Smoking gun? Just about, although the statistics are not definitive.

    I’m thinking the nazis could still yet be defeated. To use a WW2 time frame, the USA is essentially Vichy France, with white boomers playing the part of an occupied people.

    The key priorities in the Euro theater were essentially threefold: strategic air superiority, Soviet manpower, and N Atlantic supply routes.

    Air power of course is a two fold effect of developing a free alt media while destroying the defenses of ‘fortress europe’ aka corporate propaganda channels.

    Mexicans represent a younger, more vibrant population base as the old gringo boomers basically forfeited their country to the enemy without a fight. They are this eras (voting) manpower, even if they are generally perceived as less independent.

    That may be so, but most are ignorant of the MX revolution just 100 years ago that pitted the same forces at play today. And guess who won? And enshrined certain protections in their constitution? The result is that mexicans are much more free than americans.

    Lastly, the productive red states are of course the arsenal of freedom, and enjoy both secure supply and distribution routes.

    Given this kind of 3 pronged strategic outline, along with a concerted effort led perhaps by ex mil types like the light colonel, could take the fight to the nazis and gain eventual victory.

    An endless continuation of today’s occupation is not a forgone conclusion.

    • Rulo Deschamps September 4, 2021 at 9:56 pm #

      mitchell, interesting observations.

      I’m sure a lot of Vichy French despised Petain’s regime, but others supported it and bought into Fascist propaganda. In your analogy, we are La Résistance. I like it because they won in the end, after much sacrifice. But Petain didn’t have the massive surveillance, financial, and propaganda powers the Deep State has in their toolbox.

      Where is our Radio Free Europe? There’s this website, there’s some others, some journalists of integrity like Greenwald, but it’s a very asymmetrical battle as they are drowned by endless noise.

      I’m not Mexican, but know them well. Yes, their bloody revolution created a lot of rights and freedoms… on paper only. On the ground, the local caciques rule, and you get summarily shot if you try to do anything about it. Revolutions have the best intentions at first, but usually end in Gulags.

      I know most Mexicans who come here want to be part of the nation, work hard, have good intentions and have the potential to be worthy citizens. Not all, sure, but most.

      In reasonable numbers, and with some vetting, Mexicans and South Americans (I’m one of the latter) can be good Americans. I know I’m one. I’m more concerned about other, much more alien cultures: Haitians. Afghans. Chinese.

      This post of yours has a more optimistic tone than others I’ve read, but it’s still correct.

      • SpeedyBB September 5, 2021 at 9:41 am #

        The ceaseless frantic barrage of anti-Ivermectin propaganda (“It’s only horse dewormer! You are not a horse!”) indicates to me that TPTB are more than a little aware of the scale of opposition they face. The more hysterical the media overkill, the less effective it will be.

        I do not recall the same degree of opposition or mistrust of the Salk polio vaccine when it came out, in spite of numerous accidents and tragedies in its early deployment. People seemed much more trusting back then.

        They sure aren’t now.

    Jimbo, by the time the “BIG SHOW” begins, and there is a violent revolution here in AmeriKa, ALL the lying, scheming, bloated, parasitic, kleptocratic, satanic, oligarch VERMIN will be SAFELY tucked away in their HEAVILY guarded sanctuaries around the world, waiting, watching, and reveling in the collapse they engineered.

    And ONLY after enough of us kill each other, starve to death, keel over from medical problems brought about by lack of ANY healthcare and medicines and/or the effects of the “JAB(s)”, or are maimed physically and/or mentally, and therefore are so weakened that we are unable to resist further, THEY will install the NEXT group of THUGS to rule over those that remain, and who will do their bidding. Has this not been the history of humanity ?

    Well, ladies and germs;

    Just in from Newsmax (a site you can trust), a report from San Francisco outlining a new plan to curb violence on the city streets…

    Pay criminals not to shoot one another.

    https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/san-francisco-gun-violence-program/2021/09/04/id/1035069/

    $300 bucks a month to not shoot someone, and a few hundred bucks otherwise if you “moderate violent situations”.

    It is very hard for me to put a positive spin on this new program. I suppose if someone would pay $600 a month, maybe the ferals
    would kill the progenerates of the plan.

    I, for one, would contribute a few Buckwheats to the fund. I would here and now solicit other contributions…frogskins, Drachma, Franks,Yen, Dong…whatever you can spare.

    And, for God’s sake, give ’till it hurts….

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder September 4, 2021 at 6:02 pm #

      Well I believe I could spare some Dong…but I’m not sure I believe in the cause.

    • BackRowHeckler September 4, 2021 at 6:33 pm #

      That $300 will get Jalwan a brand new SCCY 9mm semi auto. Sure Jalwan will have to drive to the Nevada border with his girlfriend Tekisha — who has no criminal record, yet — to pick it up, but that’s what the hot Toyota Camry is for, car theft no longer being a punishable crime in SF.

      It’s all good.

    More Red Herrings.

    Blood Red.

    Not to be outdone, in Baltimore, little 7 year old gunned down at a playground by Gangtas rollin’ by in a Camry. Gangstas seem to have plenty of swag for ammo and nice cars.

    Something needs to be done about this weekly carnage, but what? To even bring it up is racist, indeed, facts themselves are racist, and the truth is unsayable.

      “A progressive journalist named Lee Fang who writes for the Intercept came close to being fired after posting an interview online. Tens of thousands of people eventually weighed in against him. What was the content of this explosive interview? Fang spoke to a black person who said, “I always question, why does a Black life matter only when a white man takes it?”

      Again, the person who said this is a real person named Max. Fang didn’t put these words in his mouth. In fact he probably had no idea what the man was going to say in advance. But for publishing and thereby amplifying a voice that some thought sounded too much like a conservative response about black-on-black crime, Fang was denounced as a racist by one of his co-workers! Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi wrote about the incident last week:

      A co-worker of Fang’s, Akela Lacy, wrote, “Tired of being made to deal continually with my co-worker @lhfang continuing to push black on black crime narratives after being repeatedly asked not to. This isn’t about me and him, it’s about institutional racism and using free speech to couch anti-blackness. I am so fucking tired.” She followed with, “Stop being racist Lee.”

      The tweet received tens of thousands of likes and responses along the lines of, “Lee Fang has been like this for years, but the current moment only makes his anti-Blackness more glaring,” and “Lee Fang spouting racist bullshit it must be a day ending in day.” A significant number of Fang’s co-workers, nearly all white, as well as reporters from other major news organizations like the New York Times and MSNBC and political activists (one former Elizabeth Warren staffer tweeted, “Get him!”), issued likes and messages of support for the notion that Fang was a racist. Though he had support within the organization, no one among his co-workers was willing to say anything in his defense publicly…

      To save his career, Fang had to craft a public apology for “insensitivity to the lived experience of others.” According to one friend of his, it’s been communicated to Fang that his continued employment at The Intercept is contingent upon avoiding comments that may upset colleagues. Lacy to her credit publicly thanked Fang for his statement and expressed willingness to have a conversation; unfortunately, the throng of Intercept co-workers who piled on her initial accusation did not join her in this…

      Lacy says she never intended for Fang to be “fired, ‘canceled,’ or deplatformed,” but appeared irritated by questions on the subject, which she says suggest, “there is more concern about naming racism than letting it persist.”

      Max himself was stunned to find out that his comments on all this had created a Twitter firestorm. “I couldn’t believe they were coming for the man’s job over something I said,” he recounts. “It was not Lee’s opinion. It was my opinion.”

          I’m still waiting for an answer to how mixing all breeds together creates diversity. Everybody is a bit different. If certain differences make a difference in survival, those that have those same differences will survive and breed. Soon you have a new sub-race or if it goes on long and hard enough, a new race. Some of the differences might be arbitrary, certain facial features etc, stemming from the appearance of the founders, thus it is called the founder’s effect. I’ll grant that in some cases, that’s the only real difference, physically. But the inner differences of the psyche will be there, and sacred chords of memory will play very different music.

          Ivermectin is becoming a symbol, a panacea. And by endorsing the animal versions of it, we embrace the organic and affirm out brotherhood with the beasts. I was just building the mythos.

          I was thinking of the old ivory soap commercials. I don’t know what it conjured up for you. Didn’t mean to be obscene.

          • Rulo Deschamps September 4, 2021 at 11:18 pm #

            Yo, I don’t have answers. You mentioned permaculture, and that may be an approach. That system teaches that when you let the cassava, the hot peppers, the guavas, the bamboo, and everything else that is useful not just to the farmer but to all of the Earth’s creatures grow together with minimal care, the system achieves its balance by itself.

            True, the cassava and the bamboo won’t mix. But they may influence each other. They may create shade, or make the soil rich in nitrogen, like the pigeon pea, thus being beneficial to all. The farmer (God?), but also the bird, the butterfly, the squirrel. In turn, all of these creatures (us?) are beneficial. Gardening leads to meditation, and serious meditation reveals that all of creation has a right to exist.

            Even poison ivy, even the mosquito and the coral snake. Now, the wise farmer will not want those around. That’s where your thinking and mine intersect. But there’s many useful, peaceful relatives of the coral snake! The black racer for example, or the corn snake that eats rats.

            So when you say “the blacks” or “the Jews”, you’re calling the whole snake population corals, or water moccassins, or pygmy rattlesnakes. Gross generalization.

            You plant Tabasco and Habanero peppers together, they’ll cross pollinate. A hybrid is born, and over the centuries, we created many hybrids. Nothing existed like tomatoes or potatoes or wheat. Or dogs, or cats. Generations of wise ancestors chose the better qualities of a lot of wild life and now we have all that.

            One wants permaculture, but one wants a degree of monoculture too, hopefully without the glyphosate and GMO corn, like me, but sometimes I want row after row of whatever because I know prices are good for beets, say. And I don’t like beets.

            But chaos and order both need to exist. Yin and Yang. The permapatch and the beet field. Maybe you’re too focused on the beet field. But I humbly admit I have no answers, just meditations.

            You accuse me of having many identities. That may be so to a point. Don’t we all? In my case, seeing a bit of the world made me realize us euro-descendants are a tiny minority. We have created much, and much of it very good, so one of the strongest identities that gelled in middle age was pride about where I come from. But also acceptance of the skeletons in our closet, which all groups have but won’t admit.

            The best among us can live with both ideas at the same time. We are an evolved race with much created and much still to offer. We fucked up many times, and should avoid doing it again. But our fuck ups are not a motive to have us “not exist” in this world. We are valuable as part of a permaculture, interacting with others in positive ways, and the societies we built were also valuable, the beet fields, but the Earth is changing and maybe beet fields cannot exist anymore. I dunno.

            China, which you admire, is homogeneous. Is it a happy place? Would you like to live there? A drone, an ant, another Han Chinese doing what you’re supposed to do? I dunno.

            All I know is murder is wrong, and you admire a system of murder. No, it wasn’t the only one in history. But it was. It existed.

            “Ivermectin is becoming a symbol, a panacea. And by endorsing the animal versions of it, we embrace the organic and affirm out brotherhood with the beasts. I was just building the mythos.” That’s good. I don’t think panaceas exist, though. It’s like potheads trying to convince you their smoke cures cancer, makes them smarter, whatever. No. Some things work some times in some ways, that’s all.

            The soap. I thought it was a reference of nazis rendering human fat into soap, reputed to float, in the lagers, in the horrible 40’s. A myth, mostly. Although they did have warehouses with piles of human hair, gold teeth, children’s shoes. Think about it. Children’s shoes.

          • Yohannon September 5, 2021 at 12:28 am #

            We demand the right to exist just like you folks, the Chinese, etc. The “problem” is is that we are the most advanced race who build most desirable nations that everyone else covets, wants to live in, wants to take from us, and/or wishes to destroy.

            So you throw everything at us Marxism, Unions always moving leftwards, minorities, women’s right, that we don’t exist, that we exist and are “the cancer of humanity” (Susan Sontag), and now arguments from permaculture that we can only really exist if we cease to be what we are. We don’t need you or anyone else. You need us.

            I haven’t been shot yet. It was just a trope extolling the miraculous nature of Ivermectin. Sorry you went into the human soap myth, but that’s on you.

            Churchill admitted the real cause of WW2 is that the nationalists regained control there and wanted to stay German, providing a good life for their native people.

            Yo,
            “We demand the right to exist just like you folks, the Chinese, etc. The “problem” is is that we are the most advanced race who build most desirable nations that everyone else covets, wants to live in, wants to take from us, and/or wishes to destroy”

            You folks? Me? How am I different? I grew up speaking another language, but Danes and Italians did too, yet we’re all Westerners, white folk, are we not?

            Of course we have a right to exist. We’re a minority. Around 11% worldwide is the estimate. Soon there will be no white majority countries. It has been my destiny to migrate from one country losing it to another. It’s such a complex discussion, and you get mad every time one disagrees with you. In a previous thread you mentioned permaculture, and I used it to try to express some of my points – at this point, our race is in retreat, hit hard from all sides, and from within too, made into a scapegoat, our achievements erased and mocked. No other option but to accept our diminished role and make the best of it.

            You don’t need me? You don’t need a white person who is proud of what he is and won’t be pushed around for his skin color? And who condemns past experiments of being the “master race” in Africa, India, the Americas, and argues for a position of demanding respect as well as giving it to others? What other position is rational and has a slight chance of viability? Marching down the street in brown shirts and funny mustaches? Our shared culture very much needs people like me. You are mistaken.

            Strength is part of the mix, yes. Orania could be what’s required, secession. But really the argument will be won philosophically, rationally, and emotionally. Fear is one of the main engines of advertising and propaganda. So I’m sounding the alarm, and there’s many like me, using a paradigm change: we are a minority. A persecuted and hated minority. Look what happened to such others. Don’t let it happen to us. We need to carve that niche for us, the meme, the idea-force, simplified and repeated for the masses.

            The time of kicking others around is gone, Vlad Dracul. We’ll be the ones kicked around now. Nazis like you are a drag on us. We don’t need YOU.

            In the end (don’t let this set you hair on fire), the fight for the race is less important than the fight against totalitarianism. I’d rather live in a mulatto free society than in a white China, or Third Reich. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

    Apparently, the Muslims are fixated with the number 5. For example, they are supposed to pray 5 times a day, and they can have 5 wives. The original number was 50, but this was reduced to 5. Muhammad was given a special dispensation, and he was allowed to have 15 wives. The Saracen’s war cry and the ultimatum given to their enemies was: “The Koran, Tribute, or the Sword”. Over time, all of the accumulated Tribute made the Saracens enervated by luxury and soft living, and their empire succumbed to entropy. I wonder if all of those weapons left by the Americans to the Taliban are viewed by the Taliban as “Tribute”?

He’s won every award in his field; much of his work has been about widespread, covert surveillance, he published Snowden’s revelations in The Guardian, stating that the documents exposed the “scale of domestic surveillance under Obama” and the arrival of a Chinese style police state in the West.
    He’s far from your idea of a bigot. He lived in Brazil for many years, married his husband and adopted his children there, and produced an outstanding documentary about the murder of activist Marielle Franco by police goons. He investigated the massive Lava Jato corruption scandal there which resulted in jail time for former presidents including Lula.
    He’s been threatened, canceled and harassed in both Brazil and the US for publishing things like “I’ve written before about one particularly toxic strain of this authoritarian “reporting.” Teams of journalists at three of the most influential corporate media outlets — CNN, NBC and The New York Times — devote the bulk of their “journalism” to searching for online spaces where they believe speech and conduct rules are being violated, flagging them, and then pleading that punitive action be taken (banning, censorship, content regulation). These hall-monitor reporters are a major factor explaining why tech monopolies, which (…) never wanted the responsibility to censor, now do so with abandon and seemingly arbitrary blunt force: they are shamed by the world’s loudest media companies when they do not. Just as the NSA is obsessed with ensuring there be no place on earth where humans can communicate free of their spying eyes and ears, these journalistic hall monitors cannot abide the idea that there can be any place on the internet where people are free to speak in ways they do not approve”.
    So you have a few very smart, very brave journalists, clearly saying censorship is real, surveillance is real, mass propaganda and constant disinformation are real.
    Berenson says the vax “doesn’t stop infection. Or transmission. Don’t think of it as a vaccine. Think of it – at best – as a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile (…). And we want to mandate it? Insanity.” Do we listen? No, we let Twitter ban him. Taibbi: “…this latest moral mania — and make no mistake about it, the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” PR campaign is the latest in a ceaseless series of such manias, dating back to late 2016 — lays bare everything that’s abhorrent and nonsensical in modern American politics, beginning with the no-longer-disguised aristocratic mien of the Washington consensus. If you want to convince people to get a vaccine, pretty much the worst way to go about it is a massive blame campaign, delivered by sneering bluenoses who have a richly deserved credibility problem with large chunks of the population”.
    Credibility. Where do you get yours? Real journos risk career and life to point out things like ghouls Fauci & co financing bioweapon research and then having a $-making antidote ready, FDA approving in advance a not-yet-produced future version of the vax and the media presenting it as it is the current version that has been approved, not to mention the links between that regulatory agency and the board of Pfizer, and you think you know something because of… what exactly? Browsing FB? CNN?
    Millions of us, a huge chunk of the population, in fact one could say a chunk that coincides roughly with what’s left of the productive sector, the ones who still build, manufacture and grow what you need, are being called ignorant for doubting authority is always right. Right. We are ignorant.We are concentrating on finding information that will help us – and you – preserve our freedoms in the face of the rising Leviathan – Moloch – 1984, in the wee hours after back breaking labor, navigating around censorship and propaganda, and we are the ignorant ones, not you and your 2 minute attention span.
    This shite is bollocks. They have us right where they want us, divided and foaming at the mouth at each other: lib vs conserv, black vs white, man vs woman, straight vs gay, and now, the final insult: vax vs anti vax.
    Covid Karens may issue all the death wishes they want upon us, threaten us with having to wear yellow stars and not be allowed to buy groceries, while they blindly accept a (non) vaccine that actually strengthens the bioweapon and weakens the natural immune system, much like disease resistance to antibiotics is built by the antibiotics themselves. Doesn’t matter.
    This latest division is a line in the sand: my body, my choice. Millions won’t comply, period. Your move, Karen. Accept our choice like we accept yours, work with us towards solutions for resource depletion, overpopulation and environmental collapse. Or fight us. Nobody should want that fight. War is a bloody mess, and civil war is the worst kind. I’ve seen it. But we won’t get jabbed, and that’s that. Deal with it.

      Spot on, Rulo! Excellently stated. I also agree: Greenwald, Taibbi, and Berenson doing great work. I am more often (occasionally) disappointed in Taibbi, but he seems to have the biggest ego of the 3.

      I am grateful though of them all going independent and I hope it works out for them.

      Think of it, Greenwald left the unctious Intercept, and look at what Lee Fang is dealing with, by staying there. Today Lee, tomorrow someone else. The cancel culture smells blood in the water every day, and every day, a new victim is attacked.

      These guys are so smart for going out on their own, and reporting what they choose to. I highly respect that, even if I don’t always agree with what they post.

      • Rulo Deschamps September 4, 2021 at 11:37 pm #

        Yes madam, Taibbi is the most problematic of the 3 in some ways. But he has preserved some independence. And he was brilliant in his chronicles of greedy bastards and corrupt politicians after 2008.

        Yes, I posted something about L Fang in Heckler’s comments above re murder in Chicago. When you think of it, it’s the same logic capable of accusing Larry Elder in CA of being a “black white supremacist”. It’s nuts, it’s absurd, yet it’s official doctrine.

        I read about your good harvests, and I’m happy for it! I’m sure there’s opportunities to work putting your skills to the service of others. I did that for a while, gardener, not the mow n blow type, but a guy that can create something unique in the garden. Start small, I’m sure it’s a viable option when you’re forced out, and there’s many others too. Another thing I did was create a farmers’ market, and it did very well. It still exists! But I have left that behind and we all have to start again many times in life. Best of luck!

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder September 5, 2021 at 9:07 am #

      Rulo – I respectfully request permission to use some of your well-reasoned phrasing in future discussions with family/friends on this subject. I have little interest in bringing it up with them, but they seem to always find a way to bring it up. Usually in the form of “Hey buddy, I really wish you’d get vaccinated. So what’s your major reasoning for not getting it?”

      Lately I’ve been saying something like, “Honestly, I’d rather not talk about it, if that’s okay. I mean we certainly can if you want to, but that conversation can devolve into one side and another very quickly, with each believing the other is wrong, and since none of us really know at this point, I’d prefer to not do that with you…”

      The main reason I say that is because they’ve all been vaccinated, and I don’t want to be the guy telling them I believe they’ve made a mistake. It’s too late, they already got the damn thing, and they’re proud of it. So if I somehow do convince them that it was maybe not a great choice (0.1% chance of that happening), now they’d be terrified. Lifelong friendships are worth holding close, so I think the easiest thing to do is respectfully decline the conversation and go back to watching the game and bullshitting.

      So far, the few that I’ve tried this on have said, “Sure, that’s cool, I get it.” Usually followed by, “well, still wish you’d get the vaccine though…”

      • Rulo Deschamps September 5, 2021 at 7:31 pm #

        Mr Mango, please do. Others too. Rewrite, modify, add your 2¢. It’s the hive mind. It’s not what I say, is what we say.

        Once in a while I get this urge to try and shake family and friends from their stupor. I spend time trying for an angle, then try to condensate it in an email. Pointless, but I love them, I have to warn them, there’s something very wrong here, wake up.

        They have a monicker for me: Mr Gloom and Doom. Which it’s not completely fair, since I’m an “eat, drink and be merry” kind of guy, but the love one tries to give is often misunderstood. Bottom line, they’re afraid. And they think that by kowtowing to authority the fear will go away and they’ll be “safe” again.

        I hope you have better results than me. I’ve lost so many dear to me because of this, “I’m sorry, can’t see you until you get vaxxed”. Hope you do better. Without compromising your beliefs and willingness to think for yourself. Hardest thing to do. Maybe sprinkle some humor on it, or something.

    “Kamala’s thinking that they’re thinking that maybe Kamala has to go, too…” If the Ho is thinking that, then I think she is correct, however, I don’t think she is thinking that. I think the Ho is too much of a narcissist to ever understand how contemptible, expendable, ugly, and stupid she is.

    I’m convinced that her role, and the Big Guy’s too, is to serve as a place holder until the Hildebeast can be slid into position. The Ho’s untimely death will unleash the flying monkeys to clear entire city blocks for redevelopment as they celebrate her career as an overpaid hooker with fire and bullets. A crackdown on white racists and their guns will gain more popular support as the population finally sees just how evil and dangerous white people really are.

    I had expected the Ho to have gone to her reward by Memorial Day in order for her untimely death to fuel the Summer of Hate. Ok, maybe my timing is off a bit. Could be a busy fall and winter with the new and improved varieties of Corona, the grid “hacks”, burst pipes and $8,000 heating bills – and the assassination of the Ho, and the walking off the stage by the Big Guy. But at least no new wars until the Beast is ensconced in the Captain’s chair.

    • Rulo Deschamps September 4, 2021 at 8:52 pm #

      Well, that’s one way it could go. I will not hear of it until days later, when I check out Kunstler, Greer, their comment sections and a 2 minute span of what I’m supposed to think/know on Reuters, WSJ and BBC.

      I don’t need to hear about it right away because I wouldn’t do anything differently because of it, or any other nonsense coming out of Rome DC.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder September 5, 2021 at 9:41 am #

        You might if they were coming down your country drive…

      • Blackbird September 5, 2021 at 7:28 pm #

        I won’t do anything differently either, regardless of who occupies the Oval Office. That is because my plans and activities furthering those plans – off-grid self-sufficiency (or an Albin Vega 27) – are based on the premise that genocidal sociopaths are in charge of this country and strengthening their grip. Even if that were not the case – and in my opinion, that will always be the case – my plans wouldn’t change. A simplified, localized life is what is necessary for the continued occupation of this planet by humanity. That almost no one recognizes that fact makes no difference to me – I have to do what I think is right.

        Meanwhile, if you want to know what happened, there are many sources of varying credibility from which to get that information. If you want to know what is going to happen, hang around the pickle barrel at the Jimbo’s Clusterfuck Marketplace, one of the last stands of free-thinkers, free speakers, and free-wheeling prognosticators.

      • Rulo Deschamps September 5, 2021 at 8:15 pm #

        Mr Mango, I was thinking along the lines of acting like a decapitated chicken running around for supplies and so on. Hostiles at my gate would prompt me to drop the hoe and take other measures, certainly.

        BB, my assumption exactly, sociopaths, natural enemies. Do Not Trust Them.

        “If you want to know what is going to happen, hang around the pickle barrel at the Jimbo’s Clusterfuck Marketplace, one of the last stands of free-thinkers, free speakers, and free-wheeling prognosticators.”

        hear, hear! I’d add, maybe spend a decade or so reading before feeling you have a right to add anything of value. I’ve read so many good posters here over the years, it really has been an education. I miss many of them. One I don’t miss so much is KDog. He was irritating.

        It’s an ephemeral conversation, worth listening to. JHK’s pickle barrel is under the arches of the Stoa Poikile, the Painted Porch. In the 2 second attention span world we live in, he provides a shady porch to share ideas and discuss the ultimate question: “what is the right way to live?”

        • Blackbird September 6, 2021 at 12:14 am #

          I’d been hovering in some dark corner of ClusterfuckNation for a decade or more before I decided to drop a line and rappel in. How presumptuous of me to attempt to plug into this hive.

          KDog – even his meltdown was cool. Bet he could get a few more votes if he’d stayed around. And Elrond – who ya gonna sell your chicken eggs to? But that was all before my time.

          What is the right way to live? I’ll sit in unfiltered sunlight and discuss that question all day. Especially since I expect to be hit by a FedEx truck as soon as I step into the street.

      Blackbird: not sure it will be HRC taking over. Did you see that photo of her on the beach (in both senses) in the Hamptons? That is not an image of someone who is full of the joys of life because they are about to assume total power. I think on the contrary, the globalists behind Biden no longer want a strong person at Potus; rather, they want another figurehead whom they can manipulate.

      • Blackbird September 5, 2021 at 8:28 pm #

        Here, I haven’t seen the photos of the Hildebeast on the beach, although I about it here in the comments section, and I was almost curious enough to go looking for those photos – but I was too tired to do so. Even if the ‘Beast moves into the Oval Office, there will be no joy on her part, only on the part of the hard core Kool-Aid junkies. Once the ‘Beast seizes the presidency, she will only be taking – what in her mind is – rightfully hers.

        I agree that the figurehead mismanaging the US shouldn’t matter, since it is not an individual making decisions, but a committee. And yet, the Big Guy and his Ho are – to me anyway – obviously placeholders. That raises the question, “for whom?” And to me the obvious answer is the Hildebeast. I’d like to be wrong, but what does it matter? The result will be the same – just with added meanness with the ‘Beast in charge. Also, the ‘Beast won’t need to be manipulated, she can be trusted to carry out the totalitarian globalist agenda without any encouragement.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder September 5, 2021 at 9:46 am #

      Blackbird – that’s rather dark. But possible, considering the moronics we’ve seen in the last 18 months. Been a long time since we had an RFK situation. Wellstone, I suppose, but at least they did that covertly.

      • Blackbird September 5, 2021 at 8:39 pm #

        Mango, I don’t think that the discarding of the Ho is in the same category as the (in my mind, probable) assassination of Paul Wellstone. Wellstone was eliminated because he was a threat to the furtherance of the globalist agenda. The Ho will be eliminated because doing so furthers the agenda. Wellstone’s assassination wasn’t an excuse for cities to be destroyed by the intentional release – and encouragement – of mayhem – the Ho’s murder by “crazy white nationalists” will be.

        As I peer into the future, I see only darkness. Maybe I’m wrong, and I always try to keep that possibility in mind. But then again, I can squint my way to 20/15…

    ” On German beer, however, I must say that after such a long time here, I have come to the conclusion that the only good beer comes from small villages in Franken or greater Bavaria. Hefeweizen, Doppelbock, etc. And ofc variants of Rauchbier.”

    An admittedly sweeping generalization on my part.

    Franconian Rauchbier is the shit.

    But Franconia is West Germany.

    And I wasn’t knocking back beers when I was nine years old.

    And my parents were , after all , American Southerners who actually take a rather dim view of beer from the get – go.

    I discovered Franconian Rauchbier DECADES LATER.

    As for American beers , I’m actually quite fond of an American beer called , ” Old Style “.

    But apparently Old Style is a Yankee Land beer ?

    I have never seen it for sale anywhere in the American South.

    I also like Pabst Blue Ribbon .

    Though , near as I can tell , Pabst Blue Ribbon is something of an old mans beer.

    Excepting myself , I have never seen anyone drinking it except old people.

    The kind of people who remember spittoons and shoe shine boys , and still recall Rita Hayworth as a big star.

    Come to think of it , pretty much all of those people are dead now.

    So I can’t imagine who they are selling Pabst Blue Ribbon to .

    Or maybe it is yet another Yankee beer ??

    • Rulo Deschamps September 4, 2021 at 10:36 pm #

      Kesa, you should try miller high life. NOT miller light, the one with the lady in the hat inside a big glass, the champagne of beers.

      I don’t like beer snobs or wine snobs. Herman Hesse has a bit where he celebrates the working class’ “house liter of red” as pure, unpretentious joy. True, there’s horrible, bad quality beer & wine. Avoid! But an $8 bottle can be good enough, and cold PBR’s too.

      I think PBR has a new market of young hipsters, or had a few years ago, before they decided IPA’s were where it’s at. Next year it will be something else.

      Everything gets recycled. There’s no original films, just franchises and remakes. Trucker hats, flannel shirts, bell bottoms, tattoos, everything reappears every few years. Nothing truly new is invented or discovered. When my kids were young they’d clamor for certain radio stations and I couldn’t help but think “This sounds like Bowie… this sounds like The Police… Isn’t this guy an imitation of Michael Jackson?”

      It’s a tired culture, a tired civilization at the end of its tether…

      • hmuller September 5, 2021 at 10:05 am #

        Years ago Pabst had a brewery in my hometown. Of course, that went away along with most of the industry. I read that Pabst still has a constituency among blue collar bar flies.

        I remember some beers consumed by my elders circa 1960, very popular then, but now gone or rare: Blatz, Hamms, Falstaf, Schlitz. Old Style came along later and was very big in the 1970’s. I toured their brewery in La Crosse, Wisconsin and was impressed by their water tanks built and painted to look like a six pack of Old Style. See them at the link. https://www.flickr.com/photos/hollywoodplace/20712192682

        Rulo, why are you steering a fellow reader to mass-produced swill? Miller? Lite beer? Kesa is kinda strange, but still one of us Clusterfuckers.

        Surely you have discovered the wonder of Sweetwater 420? Archetypal working class Americans brew this most mellow and tasteful of beers just a few miles to your north. You can find it everywhere down there that isn’t a total shithole (but also in the better shitholes). It appeared up here – by accident I have to think – only last month. Like the appearance of white pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) in the summer and snowy owls (Bubo scandiacus) in the winter, I will appreciate it while it is here.

    Anglin comments on Tucker’s opening on the moribund slogan, “My body, my choice”.

    A Long Term Problem
    Seriously though, I don’t think this is a short term problem for the left. They can just say “women’s rights,” and ignore and censor right-wingers pointing out that this is transphobic. They could try to do the same with “my body, my choice” if they want – but I doubt they will, because they really don’t want people thinking about that slogan right now. Even in a hardcore leftist, just hearing it might trigger some pretty serious cognitive dissonance.

    And that is the thing: so much of this system’s ability to support itself depends on having a portion of the population completely radicalized in support of the state ideology. They need to keep those people hard and dedicated to the cause, and in order to do that, they must protect the sanctity of their slogans.

    As Tucker noted, the protesters in Texas are still saying “my body, my choice.”

    They’re going to have to start telling the groups that organize these protests to cut that out. It is just legitimately too ridiculous in the context of the vax, and too clearly going to start rattling people’s brains if the Democrats have to go out and say, in the same speeches, that they are fighting for bodily autonomy and forcing people to take vaccines against their will.

    There are some things that the left can promote that are contradictory, but that is just too much.

    Mark my words: you’re going to see a very serious round of pro-abortion protests coming up, and they are going to start moving this slogan out of the protests. They will tell the organizers that “the slogan is problematic because it has been co-opted by covid deniers.”

    Credit where credit is due, “elephant in the womb” got me. (sign saying “We have to talk about the elephant in the womb”)

    That’s not bad.

    But they can’t replace “my body, my choice” with “elephant in the womb.” The bodily autonomy thing is an animating principle of female empowerment, given that these people are engaged in a Luciferian rebellion against nature, and in nature, what happens to the bodies of women is the choice of men because men are physically stronger than women. Men are also the only ones capable of providing the food women eat. Women are, by their most basic nature, subservient to men, and a denial of that reality is satanic.

    The slogan is designed to summarize a denial of that natural reality and thereby fire these whores up.

    In the longer run, none of these slogans are safe, which means that much of the left is eventually going to become exhausted in trying to defend state ideology.

    Please note that there has never in history been a religion that changed its dogma constantly.

    “My body, my choice” was an underlying core doctrine of leftism since the 1970s, and it’s now totally wiped out. And they’re saying if you do say it, you’re an extremist and a science-denier.

    What’s more, they’re increasingly asking their own followers to sacrifice for no tangible benefit to themselves, beyond the ability to engage in smug denunciations of, and power trips against, “bad people” who don’t believe the government/media.

    Women actually did gain serious power from safe and legal abortion, as without it, feminism would be totally impossible. No one benefits from vaccines. They’re not even allowing it to help people with their neurotic disorders, as they are demanding that they keep living in fear, as that is a source of power for the government.

    But that is all that is left:

    Hating and hurting normal people
    Embracing neuroticism and fear
    Compare that to what the left used to promise:

    Unlimited free sex
    Total power for women
    An end to racial strife
    A multiracial utopia where all cultures get along with each other
    A free and “open” society
    The ability for normal people to travel the world as a part of the globalist project
    Social services to raise the quality of life of the poor
    Taking money from rich people and giving it to the poor
    Winning wars against the third world to prove the sanctity of feminism and gay sex
    All of that stuff is now totally off the table.

    What’s more: all of the current energy of the left comes directly from Donald Trump. Since 2016, their only single platform of any significance was “orange man bad.” They’ve now neutered and silenced Trump, so the only thing they can do on that front is just keep saying “he’s going to come back!”

    Not Sustainable
    It really does not look like any of this is sustainable at all.

    Obviously, a big part of what is going on is that we are moving into an entire new order of society, where there are none of these “democratic rights.”

    They are obviously planning on just forcing people to obey, using police and military, imprisonment, threats, disappearances, and so on. However, they are still left with the problem that there is only a tiny elite minority that is trying to rule over hundreds of millions of people, so they have to somehow keep these people in line.

    It’s not sustainable to just expect cops to be able to control the entire population with force. They need that devoted portion of the population that believes in the state – at least 20-30% of society.

    But they don’t seem to be planning on holding that much support, which is kinda scary. It makes you wonder if they aren’t planning on using microwaves to control people’s brains (or something along those lines).

    But, it probably just means what I’ve concluded about the whole elite power structure: these people are not very smart. They are decadent, totally corrupt, completely bogged down in confusion from their own lies. Yes, they have absolute power right now, but they do not have any plan to hold onto that power.

    I will say again, like I always do: the only thing that you can do as an individual person is get out of these people’s way. Let them do whatever it is they’re going to do. Do not entertain delusions of electoral victories or revolutions. Just get out of their way, let the cards fall where they do.

    I don’t think this is going to last much longer, frankly. I think that by the end of the decade, we will likely be living in the ruins of an empire – without these people standing on our throats. That should be hopeful, really.

    Yoho: Women’s rights and the subversive idea of “Women and children” gave birth to Men’s Rights. That was inevitable. Yin invokes Yang and vice versa. Extremes call to each other. Feminism was destructive from day one. And once women started invading male spaces and roles, men tried to do the same thing or otherwise began to defend themselves. So the resolution was either to go back to the old way or resolve DOWNWARDS into no sexes at all or gender fluidity.

            Without men doing over 90% of the core work — engineering, medical and scientific invention and innovation, fire fighting, farming, defense (whether in a theater of war, or domestic), plumbing, electrical work, construction, garbage pick up, computer programming, steel mill laborer, millwright, logging, roofing, oil extraction, heavy equipment operation — women would be in serious trouble.

            And it has nothing to do with the by-now completely destroyed argument of ‘patriarchal’ discrimination. Simply put, women can’t handle, or don’t like or seek, those jobs.

            Helped by muscular “yard men” no doubt.

            But I have no doubt you are a hard worker. You show some of your skill even here. To reiterate, in my perfect society (I’m not as extreme as Anglin is or as he pretends to be), women would have the right to go it alone. It just wouldn’t be the social ideal. In case you missed it, it became such decades ago. With marriage optional for career women in their 30’s as their looks were crashing their ovaries dying. Ridiculous, right? From a rational pov, right?

            How about the opposite. How about they be encouraged by the Ethos to marry young while they are at their biological peak? Then later look to a possible career, once the kids are older, etc if this was strongly desired. The State would smile upon such dutiful daughters, and be willing to reciprocate with them if they wanted to finish their education and start working.

            I had a female cousin, single with aging ovaries, who wanted a child. So she went the route of artificial insemination.

            I asked why pay to get it in bottles when you can get it free on tap at any bar.

            Apparently, the clinic offers a much better selection with regard to IQ, good looks, strong genes, no surprises with insanity in the family etc

            Soul, Yoho, yeah, I was talking agriculture. Labor intensive organic agriculture, running a rototiller, weeding, harvesting by hand. Women are, in many cases, more valuable workers than men in that kind of work, especially “modern men”

            h, you just gave me a great idea. Women who go to fertility clinics and buy bottled jizz from anonymous donors at ridiculous prices would be much better served by individual entrepreneurs bargaining over the injection of precious bodily fluids. “Hey Ladies, want an intelligent, good-looking child with a great personality? Call XXX-XXX-XXXX.” (Yes, that’s my phone number.) Intelligent attractive ladies looking to cast their seed into the future, start watching those Craigslist ads…

            No charge to appropriate customers. Willing to travel just about anywhere – although I may need some assistance with transportation costs depending on location. AlI I ask is that I be allowed to educate my spawn. You weren’t gonna send them off to a public school were you?

      I disagree with Anglin. The globalists are smarter, and far more powerfully interconnected, than were the Bolsheviks. That said, Americans, despite complacency and sloth, are far less slavish than were 1920s Soviets.

      I do agree that TPTB have overplayed their hand. Why push all your chips to the middle of the table when, to mix metaphors, they could’ve just slowly turned up the heat, aka the frog-in-boiling-water?

    I just got off the phone with my only sister. We live in different towns. I’d told her and my only brother that the vaxxx was dangerous and doesn’t work, and not to take it. They both said they wouldn’t.

    I had a premonition, and I had to ask her if she’d taken it. She said she did. Moderna, in April.

    I was struck speechless–sick to my stomach. I couldn’t continue the conversation–all I could say is don’t take any more, she said okay. She talked a bit longer–everyone she knew in town has taken it, she knew some folks who got sick, a couple old people died–so when the vaxxx came available she RAN out to get it. Sick, I feel sick. Told her what’s done is done–had to ring off. Spent the last few minutes crying. God, I feel awful. Afraid to ask brother if he got it too.

    What do I do? What can we do?

      Plenty of people have taken it, millions upon millions, and have suffered no effects, at least not yet. Why beat yourself up over it when there is no evidence that it has damaged them in any way?

      All you can do now is maybe encourage them not to get any more or, if they feel like they should, talk to them as a caring sibling and hear what they have to say without patronising them, and then present some of the facts and learned opinions that we discuss here.

      Stay connected! No guilt tripping.

      A lot of good people are working on treatments to blunt bad effects of the shots.

      Suggest that they in any case start taking the well-establish supplement regime or vitamin D3, C, zinc, Quercetin.

      Doing something positive helps people stay positive.

    • pranah September 5, 2021 at 12:43 pm #

      Thank you, folks, for your touching responses. It really helped to come back this morning to see them…to know there are caring people out there who I can talk to. You’ve made many solid suggestions and I will work on them. Definitely the supplements and sharing info, definitely no guilt tripping, and definitely just love her.

      I know people are working on treatments–and I actually am skeptical of the extreme “everyone who’s taken the jab is going to die” view. This is still conjecture, compelling though it may be. I tend more to the view that if they don’t die in the first couple months post-jab, the vaxxed will run high risks of coming down with serious lifelong health problems. Maybe by then there’ll be good, effective treatments. Maybe by then we’ll be in the World Made By Hand and all bets will be off. But one way or the other, we will see.

      Thank you again, everyone. Snif!

    I got the jab .

    Why ??!!

    My parents are both only – children , both baby boomers.

    Maybe those labels mean nothing ?

    In any case ;

    THEY

    DO

    NOT ,

    WILL

    NOT ,

    CANNOT ,

    UNDERSTAND

    THE

    WORD

    ” NO ”

    You will think I exaggerate , I suppose ?

    But I’m not exaggerating one iota.

    My choices were —

    — Get the jab.

    — Or never see my parents again.

    — and the second option isn’t really practical , because I’m the only person who will have anything to do with them.

    Their other children and other relatives are OK for phone calls , and maybe two hour visits at Christmas.

    * rolls eyes .

    Naturally my parents describe these people in the most glowing terms ( these people who would not piss on them if their heart was on fire ) , but to hear them tell it , I’m practically a Manson Girl ,
    https://s.abcnews.com/images/US/ap-manson-20-er-170307_hpEmbed_3_3x2_992.jpg

    or a Myra Hindley

    https://www.biography.com/crime-figure/myra-hindley

    And there was no faking it.

    My mother escorted me to Walgreens.

    And wanted to see my vaccination card upon exiting Walgreens.

    Have I mentioned that I’m 55 years old ?

    Such is life.

    Btw , if you are looking for a personal , or psychological explanation for why I am at the same time so excessively libertarian , but at the same time wax nostalgic over totalitarianism ,

    perhaps I just gave you some idea ?

    • MaryQueen September 5, 2021 at 1:28 am #

      So sorry that you allowed your parents to compromise your health. Goddamn them to hell if they made that a condition of your living with them, if they are holding all the cards and if they are coercing you. That is not love, that is evil.

      Sounds like narcissistic parents. One very likely a malignant narc. with the other a spineless low-key enabler. You appear to be the scapegoat because you are intelligent and empathetic.

      What you describe here is highly abusive and typical of such parents. Your siblings are doing one thing right, and that is having little to nothing to do with them.

      I may be wrong, but I doubt it. This is not an uncommon family situation, with some being far worse than others.

      • MaryQueen September 5, 2021 at 10:24 am #

        I think you nailed it. Sad situation.

    • Islander September 5, 2021 at 9:30 am #

      Maybe tell your parents that making your own health decisions is the condition for you to continue to live with them.

      I have an extremely difficult family and I know how this deep sense of obligation is ingrained very early and is very, very hard to buck.

      But it can lead to ultimately self-destructive decisions and life-styles.

      And a lot of psychic discomfort to change those patterns.

      I deeply believe in the Chinese concept of respecting one’s parents, because the bottom line is: They gave you life.

      But they do not own you.

    • Islander September 5, 2021 at 9:43 am #

      “My choices were —

      — Get the jab.

      — Or never see my parents again. ”

      It might have been interesting to call their bluff on this.

      They are exerting the same kind of blackmail on you that our other institutions are doing.

      One of my favorite political cartoons, which I had on my bulletin board for a couple of decades, showed of a little figure of skinny Nancy Reagan, dressed in her typical designer suit, with the speech bubble “Just Say No.” Looming above and in back of her was a huge black monster like a gigantic black gorilla, fangs, etc. with bunches of huge hypodermic needles held in his two huge black paws. Ha ha.

      Where is Nancy when we need her???

      JUST SAY NO!

      This is, actually, a great slogan for the refuseniks.

      Let’s drop any reference to “vax”—Streisand effect means that any mention of it reinforces the idea that the current lot of jabs are V’s. Of course they are not.

        “Let’s drop any reference to ‘vax'”.

        I agree. I called it the “Vaxx” – but that still links to “vaccine” and credibility. “The Jab” doesn’t capture the existential danger enough for me. “The Shot”? Who wants to be shot? We, the unwashed, need to settle on a term – one that captures the threat, and push it. That is what our enemies are doing after all – winning hearts and minds through language and the distortion of language.

      I’m practically a Manson Girl , or a Myra Hindley – Kesa

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

      About
      Myra Hindley was an English serial killer. With her partner, Ian Brady, she raped and murdered five small children. Hindley grew up with her grandmother in Manchester, England. A close friend died when she was fifteen, causing her to leave school and take up Roman Catholicism. She met Ian Brady in 1961.

      That italicized sentence sounds like a non sequitur to me.

      I bolded the Catholic part for Yo’s benefit.

  118. KesaAnna September 5, 2021 at 2:27 am #

    ” Where were you in deciding upon your own health choices? ”

    Yep , time for some Kesa nastiness.

    I would concede that the average Westerner has a great deal of descreation —- IN RELATION TO OTHER PEASANTS.

    But if , say , Bill Gates , or Sir Elton John , gets a bright idea or wants something ?

    Then I would say that your freedom is 150 Proof bullshit advertising.

    I SUSPECT that in that case a slave in the ante bellum South had generally more descreation in relation to the big boys , in daily life , than any American has now.

    Like , for example , if I want a peek in your panty drawer , then , yes , privacy laws have some substance.

    But then , at the risk of sounding grossly self – flattering , I doubt that I’m really any sort of serious threat to you.

    If there was any dirt on you ( hypothetically ) , and if I knew all about it , it still wouldn’t do me much good.

    But if Hillary Clinton wanted to take a peek in your panty drawer ?

    My guess is that your privacy rights wouldn’t be worth the paper they are printed on.

    Not that it would matter anyway , I suspect.

    Let us say you ARE squeaky clean ?

    You have nothing to hide ?

    Near as I can tell , that has never previously served as any sort of obstacle to these bastards.

    How often do they get tossed in the jug for perjury ?

    About as often as you win the million dollar lottery.

    Anyway , in sum ,

    I wouldn’t actually say my situation is particularly bad.

    Indeed , I suspect even a lot of folks who live on Country Club Row are a lot worse off .

    Or perhaps that’s a matter of perception or values ?

    It seems to me , for example , that it might actually be far better to be hated and despised ,

    than to have the best of reputations , but you have to pay for it with — what looks to me anyway like —- boot – licking conformity.

    My parents ?

    I always seem obliged to throw in the caveat that they hardly seem the worst to me .

    Far , far , from it.

    It appears to me that I see much worse . And not rarely either.

    Potemkin Villages are not the exception , they are the rule.

    Like , I have long since lost count of the number of Hollywood celebrities who appear in every way perfectly wholesome , who practically walk on water.

    But then you look at the PEOPLE AROUND THEM.

    Their parents , their children , their colleagues , their friends,

    and you gotta wonder.

    Or , at least , I think you SHOULD wonder.

    Mary Poppins in the SS.

    Something is wrong with this picture.

    Women, men, and food provision –

    Traditionally (pre-agriculturally), women independently provided a majority of the caloric intake for the tribe through gathering and preparation. Men provided important and more-physically-difficult-to-obtain “delicacies” (really staples, but calorically a mild minority – items, like meat, honey).

    In agricultural civilization, men have accomplished two things: 1) providing, through agricultural technique and labor, a majority of “tribal” calories, displacing a traditional woman’s role. 2) Fucking up society in these ways–overpopulation, resource depletion, class-inequality, slavery, despotic nation-state governments, standing armies, and…(is it shocking?)…female resentment

    The modern gender conflict is not gender-based at root, It is economic and sociological. The price of overshadowing male economic-dominance in the agricultural/technological ages has been…the longterm health of society itself… also, basic health of gender relations.

    This is obviously full of generalization. Caveats are everywhere, but basic thread holds.

    In traditional societies, there is a natural male dominance, but necessary division of labor for acquiring calories checks/balances this dominance dramatically. And what is “dominance”? Physical, sexual, military? Or is it moral, familial, skilled? Is “natural male dominance” a full dominance?…Or is it a relative, balanced thing not existing at all in a vacuum…

      damage he’s done.”

      The Chief nodded in agreement.

      The official continued, “Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?”

      The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied:

      Strong ending (last paragraph). Many like jim-e conflate matrilineal with matriarchical. True matriarchies are very rare and small.

      Men naturally dominate – which is the way women like it for the most part, naturally hating to take responsibility. Men who mouth feminist slogans are fine – as long as they are successful like Alan Alda. Women want someone taller and richer. Why did Jane Eyre become fascinated by the reclusive, mysterious owner of the estate on which she worked – and not say, the reclusive, mysterious stable boy?

      There are ancient rock paintings of masked men around the Venuses. Did women once dominate, at least as priestesses? Was Andrew Dworkin’s little husband doing the dishes a modern recapitulation of that? She certainly had the right body shape.

Even if it’s only $52K/year, if I don’t have to do anything, I’ll devote my life (and what the hell – the lives of others!) to it! I didn’t click the link because I’m a little bit paranoid. But if you’re here, you’re cool. So what do I have to do?

    ‘the FDA has given full approval only to Comirnaty. However, no juice has actually yet been manufactured under the Comirnaty label. The approval is for a product that does not yet exist.

    Comirnaty is basically the same and the Pfizer-BioNtech jabs currently being jabbed under the EUA. The EUA for this juice has been extended. But it is still under EUA. Hence, no liability.’ Islander

    ‘Well, Tucson, what say you?’ JTinMD

    This is what I say:

    At the very top of the FDA page, the FDA says that Comirnaty and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine are one and the same, Comirnaty being just a marketing term. They should start producing it with that name immediately. The product does exist however, and all existing viable supplies should now be labeled Comirnaty. Jim was right regarding legal liabilities, vax promotion, etc.

    If the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and Comirnaty are one and the same, a label shouldn’t make a difference, but in the world of legal legerdemain and political pressure, logic becomes lubricious and the two legally distinct.

    • hmuller September 5, 2021 at 10:35 am #

      You may consider it a legal technicality, but it is significant.

      The current Pfizer vaccine like all the Covid vaccines is labeled “experimental”. That means compelling people to take it violates the law.

      • GreenAlba September 5, 2021 at 2:17 pm #

        To be honest, hm, I saw the name Cominraty many months ago in an article (in relation to the basic Pfizer vaxx), when checking out the brand names of the AZ vaxx, which I’ve forgotten, but the same thing had a different name in India, where it is also produced, than in Europe (AZ I mean).

        It seems to me to matter less than it might, because we don’t actually even know if different batches of what is supposedly the same thing really are the same thing. They can do what they want with any of it.

        • GreenAlba September 5, 2021 at 2:18 pm #

          I don’t disagree with your point about the experimental vaxxes.

    Science has committed suicide.

    “Science is not supposed to be about intimidating, countering interpretation of data, or abusing, or censoring data,” Atlas said. “Science is not supposed to have a view. Science is only about data and the scientific process. There is never supposed to be ‘an accepted view’ of science.”

    Stop Censoring the Scientific Process

    Politicians and pundits also lost people’s trust by advocating regulations that were not based in fact. “The phrase ‘follow the science’ should never be uttered again by people who do not know actual data. They must stop,” Atlas said. “They have no credibility whatsoever when they get up and say, ‘follow the science.’ It’s clear many of them don’t know the science, don’t understand the science, and they are not using the science to make the recommendations.”

    • hmuller September 5, 2021 at 10:42 am #

      Don’t you just love the expression, “The Science is established!”

      Meaning no new fact discovered could ever change the speaker’s dogma. Their science becomes their religion. And this justifies censorship and the brutal suppression of any data or persons challenging the official narrative.

      It’s gotten so Orwellian, they can tell us lies today which contradict the lies they told yesterday. And no one notices. Zombie planet!

      • Night Owl September 5, 2021 at 4:04 pm #

        Just like everything else about this hoax, it is inversion.

        Those claiming to follow science are doing nothing of the sort, in fact they are doing the exact opposite.

        If one keeps this logic in mind, it helps when dealing with the onslaught of propaganda.

        Herr Mueller,

        Have at look at https://consentfactory.org/2021/09/02/the-covidian-cult-part-iii/

        Mr. Hopkins concludes with this paragraph which I find unsatisfying:

        “There are many ways to go about doing this, i.e., generating internal conflict. I have been doing it my way, others are doing it theirs. If you’re one of them, thank you. If you’re not, start. Do it however and wherever you can. Make the New Normals face the monster, the monster they are feeding … the monster they have become.”

    • Disaffected September 5, 2021 at 11:38 am #

      “The science” was first bought out by the usual corporate interests, and then mythologized by a full-spectrum 24/7 propaganda campaign that makes anything Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia ever did look amateurish in comparison. In their defense, the current US propagandists all stand on their very broad historical shoulders, having absorbed their lessons well and improved on them via modern technology. Whenever someone quotes “the science” to me (including the idiots I work for out here) I roll my eyes and tune them out. A recent visit to the Dr’s office for my recurring rotator cuff issues revealed quite an undercurrent of resistance to the poison prick from patients and office staff alike. When it comes right down to it, people aren’t generally as stupid as I sometimes tend to think.

        They’re pushing a shingles vaccine now. I wonder if it’s an mRNA death jab?

        • GreenAlba September 5, 2021 at 2:23 pm #

          I was planning to get a shingles vaxx next year, as it’s offered here from age 70. My mother suffered horribly from post-shingles nerve pain for quite some time. Won’t be getting any more jabs now, but I’m guessing if I make it to March 22 still ok that will be a miracle anyway. 🙁

          I was going to do a few nice but modest things to celebrate my 70th year. Best laid plans, eh …

          • Yohannon September 5, 2021 at 3:19 pm #

            You should probably isolate completely during the flu season. Who knows? As you said, maybe it starts to slow down, maybe it will gradually stop. In any case, you need to nurture yourself as you never have before.

            Maybe you could watch a Church service online or something. Or go a few times now during the remaining warm weather. Do you still have your old prayer book? The Book of Common Prayer is acknowledged as a masterpiece even by some traditional Catholics.

            I won’t be calling you out like I used to, not wanting to upset you. But you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

          • GreenAlba September 5, 2021 at 5:18 pm #

            You are very kind.

            I was planning to start going to the local parish church just along the road (C of S). Hadn’t thought about the virus side of things in that respect as I’ve been worrying more about the spike proteins. I think you have to book so they don’t over-fill the church. We’ll see.

            Re isolating, my problem remains what it was when I made the decision to get vaxxed, in that my husband will be seeing patients all winter. So i can never really isolate. I will order some ivermectin in the next day or two though and am taking vits.

            Book of CP is an Anglican thing (so historically a bit Catholic!). But I’m not fussy – light from any source …

            But it’s not just me. I’m sure I could count 15 people on CFN who are jabbed. I hope most of us will get through the winter, but as I and others have suggested, there may be worse ways to go, as long as one isn’t gasping for breath. Flu used to called the old man’s friend!

            Thanks again. 🙂

            “Won’t be getting any more jabs now…” Me either. How can I ever trust anyone who has lied to me so consistently and about such important things?

            “I was going to do a few nice but modest things to celebrate my 70th year. “ Well, you’d bloody well better do them! You’ve got the whole CFN peanut gallery watching over your shoulder to make sure that you do! (March 22?)

            GA,

            I think you’ve got all your tools together for a successful winter. You have all the info, which many don’t. I think you will be fine!

            The vitamins are key! I have read widely in studies that vitamin D/zinc is key. You do that, you are ahead of the curve.

            A healthy diet, herbal teas, and you’re good to go.

            GreenAlba, upthread Islander posted this link to a video of Dr. Mercola interviewing Dr. Zelenko:

            https://www.bitchute.com/video/IUyUZ1twp4uv/

            In it, they discuss prophylaxis and early treatment strategies for the jabbed, and everything they advise is over-the-counter, except for Ivermectin (which can be obtained with some effort, or go with horse paste) and HCQ (for which you can substitute another zinc ionophore like quercetin or EGCG; be sure to take zinc and vitamin C with your zinc ionophore).

            Other prophylaxis measures they discussed are getting your vitamin D3 level to 60-80 nanograms/ml–extremely important; and using nebulized hydrogen peroxide at 0.1% dilution.

            There’s more in the video, which I must say cheered me up a great deal. I was in despair last night when I found out my only sister had taken the jab and never told me. Now I feel like there’s hope and if we’re all lucky and careful, we might just get through this.

            Good luck, GA, I’m thinking of you!

        • MaryQueen September 5, 2021 at 10:33 pm #

More fruit than I’ve ever seen in 35 years with trees. Must be the damned climate change which will kill us all. I wish “Horseface” Kerry would jet into Barnes Airport so I could buggy whip his ass. I live in “Whip City”. Look it up. I’ve got a bunch of broken branches from the overload and storms. Come end of season I’m cutting all the fruit trees way back.

    Jab Number Four

    RT

    With over 2.5 million Israelis already inoculated with three Covid-19 vaccine doses, the national coronavirus czar, Salman Zarka, has said preparations need to begin for an eventual fourth jab due to the virus’ growing variants.

    Yet another round of booster shots will be needed for the vaccinated in order to keep up with coronavirus variants, said Zarka, the head of the special task force set up to coordinate Israel’s fight against Covid-19, in an interview with Kan public radio on Saturday. Despite two-thirds of the Israeli population already being vaccinated with two doses, health officials expect that the more spreadable Delta will continue to lead to a rise in cases and hospitalizations in the fall months.

    “Given that the virus is here and is here to stay, we must also ready ourselves for the fourth jab.”

    “This is our life from now on, in waves,” Zarka added. He believes booster shots that deal with new variants of the virus more effectively could be ready by late 2021 or early 2022.

    The health official previously stated that vaccine booster shots could need to be taken “once a year or five or six months.”

    Yoho: Holy fuck, they’re being savaged. David Icke and my brother are right: The Global Elite don’t care about the Jews, even if many of them were so born, they ceased to identify with them even as our Elite cease to identify with us. And of course, the high Elite tend to be intergenerational and thus never identified with their ethnic lineage to begin with.

      At the same time, if the initial jabs are considered to be fatal, albeit in a year or more, why – from their own point of view – do they need to bother with boosters? And if the boosters are even more dangerous, that’s going to become obvious before large parts of the world are jabbed at all. Maybe?

      • Yohannon September 5, 2021 at 1:45 pm #

        Most street fight are won by a surprise or “sucker” punch followed by a flurry of blows. The victim is never allowed to regain his senses and launch a counter attack.

        Kill as many as quickly as possible. Those that are able to endure the jabs, turn them into zombies via 5g. Those that refuse the bosters, will be ground down by poverty and lack of medical care – or simply killed at some point.

        Did they steal the election by one method only? Or a multitude, creating a jungle that can never be untangled?

        • GreenAlba September 5, 2021 at 1:55 pm #

          Well I’m going to refuse the boosters, so I guess that’s the worst position to be in. Already damaged but gaining nothing from it in the short term.

          My hope is to be gone, hopefully not as agonisingly as predicted by some, before they start with whatever 5G or other tech tricks they intend to apply. Having your brain interfered with is way worse than just dying early. Not that I’m young but my mother got almost 20 more years. 🙂

            The unjabbed won’t fare all that much better, from what I can see.

            Many who have predicted what’s going down now, also say that 1) the vaxxed who have the ability to will turn on the unvaxxed (like a zombie horde). They have the establishment on their side, when it comes to attacking the unvaxed (as Yoho’s link to Anglin’s piece shows, above).

            2) The military will finish off the rest of us (camps? is my guess).

            No one is looking at a bright future. There were too many useless eaters (words of the elite) and they have planned this for decades.

            In the middle of my seventh decade, I see nothing good as a potential, civil, global, local. I see infrastructure hobbled, the vastly complicated methodologies that keep us alive at risk.

            HOWEVER, I also realize that old age equals cynicism, and further, that even though I am adept at seeing the downside of any issue, my view of the future will never be as bad as I can conger. I admit to being as full of shit as the rest of the assembled…maybe more than most.

It’s not so bad when the peons are at least treated with a little appreciation and freedoms, but when they get greedy and abusive well, we have earned the right to be unhappy and distrustful, and maybe even call them out every one and a while.

          Yoho:

          You’ve been spouting this utter paranoid bullshit since you were styled as Vlad. Enough already. You’ve created a whole group of people infected with a vicious psychological virus, as eloquently described by tucsonspur (twice now, with his highly admirable alliterative qualities to boot).

          Yoho, MaryQ, HOG Boy & Narc Troll:

          The saddest thing to have observed is the ‘conversion’ of GreenAlba by this group of what is, at heart, paranoid schizophrenics. In my view, it’s more like a perversion of her sanity than a ‘conversion’.

          GA:

          Find your equilibrium again. Drop this absurd nonsense. You have always spoken sensibly and logically. Now?

          What the actual fuck happened? I get that ill-health and anxiety are playing a part, but in my view, it’s listening to the unashamed, unabashed fuckwittery (your term) of these narcissistic trolls (and you know, in your heart, that all four of them are) that has given you the greatest anxiety.

          To see you posting about 5G/zombies/”don’t know if what’s in the vaccine is what they say it is”…I’ve been gutted for a couple of weeks now, to the point where I simply have to say it to you.

          Please.
          Escape.
          Run for your precious life!
          Staying here, swimming in this toxic pond of bullshit & propaganda, imbibing from this cup of mind-poisoning paranoia, these are going to take you down more surely than any possible reaction to the vaccine.

          You’re suffering a health event, some weeks after taking it. As far as I can tell, you’re self-diagnosing it as a ‘vaxx reaction’ that is ‘designed to kill you’ because you’ve had this bullshit drummed into your head by the above-named assholes for the last eighteen months. It’s worse than just destroying your faith in yourself and your world – these cunts have you weeping for your children. They have brought you nothing but misery at this point in your life.

          GreenAlba – You do not need this.

          While GreenAlba slide into Krazytown is almost infinitely regrettable, the most truly unbelievable spectacle has been the destruction of James Howard Kunstler’s thought processes through this feedback loop. Even he, now, like all of the Trolling Foursome, sees a conspirator around every corner and under every bed. It’s just too sad when it was only a matter of a few years when his ‘allergy’ to conspiracy theories was widely and often stated here, by his own hand.

          Still, I can rest easy with these facts:

          1. You’re all both wrong and mentally ill. Because of your combined, self-perpetuating, echo-chamber mental illness, you’ll never see that you’re wrong. This ‘apocalyptic vision’ you’re all imagining in your infected hive mind will always be “just about to happen”. You’ll never quite get there, but you’re enjoying the journey so much, you’d never let it go. You cannot. The camaraderie of your sick ‘brotherhood’ must be fulfilling some other deep need in your otherwise empty lives.

          2. Fortunately, there’s really only a few of you here. I’ve mentioned the four worst examples, because there are plenty of others who have not been suckered into your demented mind-meld. Good luck to the rest of you, and I suspect you actually don’t take the Trollery Bullshit as seriously as they’d all like to believe you do.

          3. After this, I very much doubt I’ll be able to log in again. But there’s no “cancel culture’ on The Right, right? We’ll see, I guess.

          Tschü?

            Thinking for oneself and distrusting authority (knowing that those “authorities” are merely humans, and we all know ourselves to be flawed and at times corruptible) is a cornerstone of freedom.

    Original Hippocratic Oath, from the wiki

    I swear by Apollo Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.

    To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture; to impart precept, oral instruction, and all other instruction to my own sons, the sons of my teacher, and to indentured pupils who have taken the Healer’s oath, but to nobody else.

    I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them.[7] Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.

    Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.

    Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.[6] – Translation by W.H.S. Jones.

    Yoho: The modern versions allow neglect the prayers and allow women abortions. Thus do we fall lower and lower.

    Now they’re letting medical students make up their own oaths. Fine and meaningless. In other words, better than allowing abortion and then calling it the Hippocratic Oath. Leave Hippocrates alone.

    No surgery. Interesting. That was its own specialty. Also apparently, “First do no harm”, though a fine principle, came later.

    Modern

    Hippocratic Oath: Modern Version
    I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

    I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.

    I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

    I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.

    I will not be ashamed to say “I know not,” nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.

    I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.

    I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

    I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

    I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.

    If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.

    —Written in 1964 by Louis Lasagna, Academic Dean of the School of Medicine at Tufts University, and used in many medical schools today.

            We’re stuck in the bodies, these tombs while our spirits would fain fly free. So a man tries to transcend physical consciousness like this brother, but he is not perfect, and still drawn back by his senses which yearn for the fleshpots of Egypt. A pretty girl comes along who likes a challenge and sets her cap on the brother. She snares him and he falls back into physical consciousness and loses his vocation.

            Thus pretty girls make graves. Of course so do handsome men.

            Will it happen? Something terrible is going to happen one way or another. It already is and things won’t get better until they get a whole lot worse.

    We need another Shay’s Rebellion,a protest against economic and civil rights injustices. The pussies in western Mass. don’t have the balls these days. People say the military won’t fire on their fellow citizen’s but they most certainly did in 1787. The military was led by my local hometown hero, William Shepard. It was Shepard who ordered two cannons to fire grape shot into the American protesters. Four were killed and 20 wounded.There is a large bronze statue in the center of town for the piece of shit Shepard.

    Whoo! They’re partying like there’s no tomorrow in Chicago on this Labor Day weekend.

    Chicago was a workingman’s city, the ‘City of Big Shoulders’ poet Carl Sandburg called it. A century ago, say, Labor Day must have been a much appreciated day off from the stockyards or the steel mill. Now its something else.

    As of noon today, 52 shot, including 4 little kids. And still a night and full day to go.

      Wouldn’t ‘the entire world’ include anti vaxers? Of course it would.

      The doc’s in good company.

      MASS PSYCHOSES INFECT THE ANTI VAX HIVE

      Addled axons. Delusional dendrites. Noxious neurons. Stymied synapses.

      You may already be ill and not even know it, and you probably are. I don’t mean ill from the virus, but rather from an infection of the psyche, from some form of psychic epidemic.

      While Jim’s essays are well written and grounded in reality for the most part, they are not necessarily the most sanguine and can instill a certain amount of worry and even fear. I have noticed that some here seem to be growing more and more forlorn and more cynical as time passes.

      There are things called psychogenic triggers, and some of the most powerful are negative emotions like fear, constant suspicion, anger, and anxiety. These can cause a person to seek relief from these emotions by escaping into a world of delusion.

      A good example is the anti vax hive. Many in this largely paranoid group see an outrageous plot to kill huge numbers of humans, or they see a pernicious big pharma with pecuniary interests only. The result of endless suspicion, fear, and vax anxiety can be delusion and psychosis, along with aggressive behavior towards the vaccinated.

      Adding to this are the complications of well founded anxieties about governmental mandates on the virus and the growth of a more totalitarian society, with people understandably wanting to affirm their individuality and their right to refuse vaccination. On the political front, the Democrats have certainly shown totalitarian trends, and this can further enhance the fear/anxiety factor. That being said, it certainly doesn’t mean that they’re out to ‘get’ us, using control by covid.

      It is never mentioned by the covid quacks or the vaccine vexed, or the jab jerks, that good people may just want to finally put an end to this marlinspike misery through rules and regulations, without any ulterior motives. They see no good here, it is all a plot against them to make them obedient slaves and compliant cattle. They always mention those who died from the vaccine, never citing the hundreds of thousands who have been saved by it. Their psychosis prevails.

      The vaccinated have not been afflicted with these psychoses. They followed the path of a reasonable assessment of risk and reward by analyzing the information available concerning this unpredictable virus, and then made their decision noetically. But the anti-vaxers cannot accept this because it doesn’t fit with their illusion of rebelling against victimhood, of being brave, brawling buccaneers who are the bastions of insight into the plots against them and, of course, us.

      The anti-vaxers, consumed with an often unreasonable fear and suspicion regarding the ‘vaccine’, direct their anxieties towards the vaccinated, claiming that they were fools duped by a totalitarian system trying to control their lives. In a state of confusion, psychotic ‘insight’ takes hold and unreality rules, allowing the unvaxed person to escape from or find meaning in their negative emotions by portraying the vaccinated as menticidal, delusional herd animals when exactly the opposite is true.

      Anti vax defiance serves to conceal their delusion and to give the impression that they are the brave individuals who can see reality clearly, while their actual view of it in the mirrors of the mind is a paranoid and perhaps even psychotic one. Fortunately, most are in the early to later prodromal stages of psychosis and are not yet acutely afflicted.

      Many are unaware of their deteriorating mental condition, so I’m hoping that these words will inspire some thought and introspection. The dreary drumbeat of dire negativity can lead to ‘menticide’, the killing of the mind. Some minds here are already half dead and appear to be at least partially psychotic, although to the casual observer they appear normal, even intelligent.

      Vaxers were sensibly concerned about the virus, not afraid of it. The anti-vaxers are the ones afraid, scared to death that they might be harmed by the vax even though the chance of that happening is extremely small, psychotically scared that some evil power is trying to destroy them. More and more anti vaxers are dying, but the paranoid and fearful are undaunted, continuing to believe themselves to be something they are absolutely not–braver and smarter than the vaxers.

      Psychosis can be as near as your next thought or your last. Be more positive and less suspicious. Ease up on the psychogenic triggers. Watch out for the psychotic jive in the hive. While people can be devious and have hidden agendas, many are not and don’t. As the saying goes, accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. Open up your chakras. Stop dwelling in the dreary, dark, and dismal. Get out under starry skies and think about the wonders of the universe. The panoramic pool of mathematics, music, art, and poetry should help to penetrate and purge your psychotic perceptions. Dive in.

        Why expend the energy on debating the spur when no less a personage than Dostoevsky has already done it and better, perfectly and devastatingly summing up the mentality on display. These words were written 140 years ago so this type has been around a long time:

        “There exists no greater or more painful anxiety for a man who has freed himself from all religious bias, than how he shall soonest find a new object or idea to worship. But man seeks to bow before that only which is recognized by the greater majority, if not by all his fellow-men, as having a right to be worshipped; whose rights are so unquestionable that men agree unanimously to bow down to it. For the chief concern of these miserable creatures is not to find and worship the idol of their own choice, but to discover that which all others will believe in, and consent to bow down to in a mass.”

        Sometimes its ok to not understand what’s happening or not to have answers. Uncertainty is part of life and sometimes things are very uncertain. Being suspicious or cautious are not bad things per se. The medical establishment is to blame for creating mixed messages about the whole episode. And overt censorship and totalitarian responses don’t really do much to create trust if you know what I mean. Sure, being positive and accentuating the positive are good things and I appreciate that. But I do think you are being over the top saying people are being psychotic. This is a developing story as they say so stay tuned. But it is fun to talk about the planets and comets and stuff so there is that.

          “Sometimes it’s ok to not understand what’s happening or not to have answers.” If we don’t start there we’re unlikely to get anywhere.

          Leave that to simmer a little longer, and we might get to: “It is imperative to understand that we do not know what is happening, and from that basis have to determine what actions to take.”

        You have some valid points. But may I point out that when evidence based scientific debate is shut down by youtube, twitter and facebook folks have valid concerns. I suggest listening to Youtube)to medical doctors like Dr. Suneel Dhand, biologists from Darkhorse podcasts which present medical doctors like Dr. Kory an ICU attending and other virologists who have questions concerning the current narrative. A social commentary British comedian Russell Brand has some great discussions on our current world situation.

        JHK provides another world view for me, I am not a true believer but I appreciate his thinking on our current operating model. The right thinks all government functions are bad, but think about it, give a guy 41 cents an he will deliver a letter across the country in two days, the post office is in the U.S. Constitution, and that is a federal role, but some of these other functions, folks question. Beware of the right vs left narrative. I thank you for your willingness to express a different worldview from the main posters on here. Look to history for guidance, I recommend the book, ” Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius and other Stoics philosophers.

        You’re not crazy if reality has morphed into a never-ending Monty Python skit. I can just see it coming:

        “Waddaya mean you don’t want to be drug off to a FEMA camp? You heartless bastard! What’s wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?! It’s for you own safety and everyone else’s. There you will be ‘taken care of’.”

    I figured the end of this thread would be a good place for my first post. I’ve actually been following Mr. K since the first days of the Long Emergency.

    For a while I wondered why he steered clear of the whole 911 debate, but then realized that once that happens, the Rubicon is crossed, and it not only changes, but hijacks the entire conversation. Yet here we are now, living the results.

    I lost touch for a while – wandering Northern Idaho before settling in rural Tennessee. So now I’m not certain where his official stance on 911 has landed, but it doesn’t matter. His recent essays, reflecting his own evolution of thought, have paralleled my own, and they are nothing short of genius – both in content and style.

    • MaryQueen September 5, 2021 at 8:09 pm #

      Greetings from a newer reader and commenter. Well said!

      Northern Idaho is something I can’t wait to explore. I just relocated near Boise, another California escapee. But I grew up in Illinois, Tennesee’s near neighbor.

      I have also looked into Tennessee. What do you think, so far?

      • Nigel Tufnel September 5, 2021 at 8:33 pm #

        Thanks MaryQ!
        I loved Northern Idaho, but after 4 years I began missing the little things – lightening bugs, okra, deciduous trees. I felt myself descending into a bi polar twilight, winter nights starting at 4pm. “And summer quite the other way, I had to go to bed by day” – a frenetic 6 week interlude between winters, summers were busy busy socializing, gardening, and gathering firewood. Ah but the landscape was glorious, the people were lovely, the skies were clear, the lakes were glacial, and the women’s wolverine study station was going strong.

        Boise is nice. Check out Coeur d’Alene, and Sandpoint when you get a chance. Coeur d’Alene has a great art gallery – Art Spirit.

        Tennessee is wonderful! The gardening is great, and the land is relatively cheap. We’re on 70 acres. No state tax. There is an elephant sanctuary nearby, but I flunked the test for volunteers – I can no longer lift a 50 pound bag of feed!

        • MaryQueen September 5, 2021 at 10:05 pm #

          OMG wow you are living my dream. I want some acres, and I have worked at animal sanctuaries, and would love to again. Elephants! WOW.

          Thanks for sharing. I have yet to get up to Coeur d’Alene, but I’m dying to see it.

          Yeah, it’s bizarre that summer nights are light ’til 10 pm and already we’re getting dark at 7. Soon it will be 4:30.

          So different in the midwest/south.

          And all I want to do is garden. Thanks for the info, and glad you are happily settled.

      • KesaAnna September 5, 2021 at 9:42 pm #

        ” I have also looked into Tennessee. What do you think, so far? ”

        I’m not so sure I want to publicize my geographic location so precisely.

        But then I suppose an entire state isn’t so precise.

        And I can’t resist saying a good word where I think it is so deserved.

        Where to start ?

        Tennessee does not have a state income tax , and so I think serves as a strong proof that when they tell you that an income tax is necessary , they are lieing.

        An income tax is wanted , not for the money itself , but because by its very nature an income tax is a fundemental intrusion on privacy.

        To the credit of the citizenry , every time so far that the issue of an income tax has been raised , the citizens of Tennessee HAVE RAISED HOLY HELL.

        There is no income tax , but Tennessee public schools are palatial ( though I am still flatly opposed to the public school )

        Their historic sites are darned decent . Art museums are not uncommon , and even very tiny towns have decent public libraries.

        Zoning laws and such are primarily very liberal or even non – existent.

        Which means that if you want to buy a piece of land and pitch a tent on it , and call it a house , that’s typically OK.

        So I suppose a good place generally for a place to hang your hat if you are poor , or some kind of hippie and want to emulate Jeremiah Johnson.

        The downside of that , however , is that when it comes to buying buildings or land the rule is very much BUYER BEWARE , as I said , the regulation is lax , or even non -existent.

        Another aspect of that is that you see some really unique and eccentric architecture in Tennessee. As so much of it is the product of free – wheeling DIY.

        I originally came here for the sake of the mountains. And I still love the mountains.

        But now , more than that , it is the culture.

        I don’t know if you are familiar with the old TV show , ” The Andy Griffith Show ” ?

        If not , I suppose you could look it up on Youtube.

        I always assumed that the show was , after all , just a TV show. ( And the show was , after all , set in North Carolina , which I KNOW is a hateful , miserable , shit hole. )

        But then I came to Tennessee , and learned that The Andy Griffith Show can be a cultural reality.

        You walk into a convenience store you have never been in before , and see a clerk you have never seen before.

        Typically the clerk gives you a smile that is something like genuine , and says , ” Hello ” and , ” Have a nice day ” with something like sincerity.

        I don’t think the average Tennessean is a saint ?

        But certainly , generally , Tennessee is a very polite , and easy – going , culture.

        I once lived temporarily in Nashville for six months , and even the big city of Nashville is like that.

        It has so many aspects , so perhaps hard to convey what I mean.

        For example , I never lived anywhere that part of me did not fear the police , and for good reason I think.

        But in Tennessee I cannot escape the feeling that here to fear the police is more like paranoia , than sober circumspection .

        The police really do seem here to focus on the bad apples .

        You don’t have to watch your back merely because you are poor .

        This does have its downside though ?

        I always assumed that jail and prison breaks were only a facet of the John Dillinger era.

        But in the 15 + years since moving to Tennessee , I have seen a jail , or even prison , break about once every six months.

        The reason seems to be because Tennessee jails , and even prisons , are managed in such a casual and slip – shod way.

        The Protestant work ethic around here is not of the high – strung , Puritan variety.

        One thing that means is that if you wish to move out to the country ,

        keep in mind that if you need a plumber or electrician , don’t be surprised if he doesn’t show up for 6 weeks , or even three months.

        But then he will be a very polite plumber , who doesn’t act like a robot ,who doesn’t treat you like a robot.

        So I guess it depends then on what you value ?

        One area , certainly , to avoid ;

        The Memphis area.

        Everyone acknowledges that Memphis is a typical American shit hole. Except maybe for a few natives , or Yankees who don’t know any better.

        I could say a lot more , but alas I could fill a book with a lot more.

        I’m not sure I should even tell people that Tennessee is a wonderful place ?

        If you want to move to the wilderness ?

        Then my advice is you need to BEGIN , START , by looking at what is most remote.

        Because unfortunately the population is starting to explode.

        Fortunately for me , I landed in an already very remote area.

        Appalachia with a capitol ” A “.

        Around here you commonly see a bumper sticker that says , ” Friend of Coal “.

        Quite possibly my favorite regional song ;

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiGPbHnpQks

        Coal is not part of my heritage , but this certainly fits the culture to a ” T ” and I love it.

        Anyway , according to my tastes the worst thing is not that the Mexican population is exploding ,

        but unfortunately the population of other Americans , who in all seriousness I call FOREIGNERS , is exploding.

        So how long this culture will last , except in very remote areas , I cannot say.

        • Nigel Tufnel September 6, 2021 at 8:06 am #

          Good post! Add these things to the Tennessee downside list:
          Chiggers, ticks, and copperheads.
          And what most people think of as ignorant hillbilly language is actually a form of old English that has managed to survive.

    ” Forget the constitution; use the Nuremburg codes/principles. ”

    I would agree with most of that ,

    except I do have one big problem with Nuremberg , fundamentally.

    I suppose some sort of nuclear exchange , somewhere , is bound to happen merely and simply because the weapons exist.

    If you got it , you’re gonna use it , sooner or later.

    But with Nuremberg , the reality of war now may not merely mean that this side wins the argument and gets to decide what right is.

    Now , a lost war may very well mean that the bosses get hanged.

    Indeed , even sergeants and corporals conceivably might be hanged.

    So , sorry , but there really isn’t any point in any sort of restraint , or one iota of mercy.

    Very much now is it the case that not only will you be utterly destroyed , but utterly humiliated , and basically pretty much everything to the extreme.

    So it is more like reasonable and sober to at least take the bastards with you when you go down.

    In that context , I think then a nuclear war is a guarantee.

    Indeed , it is something of a good thing that we have so many apocalyptic possibilities to worry about.

    It deflects somewhat from dwelling on that particular guarantee.

    • KesaAnna September 5, 2021 at 11:11 pm #

      To add a note , because I’m long – winded.

      Folks have been predicting for 30 years that North Korea will fall tomorrow.

      I have long suspected that you shouldn’t hold your breathe.

      Because I have long gotten the impression that it isn’t just the Super Stars of North Korea who worry about their fate if they fall.

      But North Korean Sergeants , middle level clerks , school teachers and the like , who worry , ” What kind of future would I then have ? ”

      30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall , it appears to North Koreans that not everybody gets a Mercedes Benz and a six figure job in this bright new Western future.

      • KesaAnna September 6, 2021 at 12:49 am #

        That perhaps makes two of us ?

        Are you saying this was a Northern Alliance song the Communists flat plagiarized ?

        That would not be unheard of.

        Could be.

        But then ambiguity is basic in Afghanistan.

        Like , was Communist Afghanistan downright conservative Islamic , or militantly Atheist ?

        You get one story one minute , and a very different story five minutes later ,

        one guy invokes Mohammed every second sentence , and another guy talks like the reincarnation of Lenin ,

        and they are both Parcham !

    This paragraph from a book of short stories (copyright, 1927) made me think of Yo and the rest of the ‘believers’ here at CFN:

    Sunday had descended on the vast landscape like a physical influence. We saw a snake of children winding out of a dark brown Sunday school into a dark brown chapel. And up from the valleys came all the bells of all the temples of all the different gods of the Five Towns, chiming, clanging, ringing, each insisting that it alone invited to the alter of the one God. And priests and acolytes of the various cults hurried occasionally along, in silk hats and bright neckties, and smooth coats with folded handkerchiefs sticking out of the pockets, busy, happy and self-important, the convinced heralds of eternal salvation: no doubt nor hesitation as to any fundamental truth had ever entered their minds.

    • Yohannon September 6, 2021 at 12:23 am #

      ” An income tax is wanted , not for the money itself , but because by its very nature an income tax is a fundemental intrusion on privacy. ”

      Also , because by its nature an income tax is complicated, Byzantine.

      Instead of one item , from which you collect one amount ,

      you collect this amount from this guy , and another amount from that guy , and still another amount from a third guy , and …..

      so you go from one item and one amount ,

      to five hundred , or five thousand , or fifty thousand pages of mind – numbing numbers.

      So that in an instant you are OBLIGED to accept ON FAITH the CLAIMS of ” experts ” that they have read through and digested these fifty thousand pages.

      I dunno , it all looks fantastically religious , or plain superstitious , to me.

      “…no doubt nor hesitation as to any fundamental truth had ever entered their minds.”

      You spend fifty years studying with every group you come in contact with, discarding all the doctrines, traditions, innovations and commandments of men [ as you find them ] glared at and made to feel unwelcome for asking questions of the leaders, and after decades of this, end up worshipping “outside the camp”, because you can’t find any who demand truth…

      and then;

    ” I get drunk and have never stabbed anyone.
    Nor have I ever started a fight when drunk. ”

    — Benr

    I don’t doubt it.

    Prohibition ended on paper 80 years ago.

    But in the South it never really did.

    The main thing is not that even to this day you find Dry counties throughout the South.

    The main thing is that alcohol and beer is fundamentally , from the start , considered a deviancy.

    If you have never experienced such a culture , then what I am saying may be hard to grasp.

    Imagine that for some reason stamp collecting came to be stigmatized and defined as deviant.

    We might venture that after awhile stamp collectors might begin to think of themselves as deviants ,

    and then to act like deviants.

    No , not everybody who drinks , or even gets soddy drunk on a regular basis , is in the habit of beating their dog for jollies .

    But that is precisely often the perception in the South.

    Alcohol and beer automatically equates to shady and questionable.

    And I suspect that even influences peoples behavior?

    On the other hand , maybe you can relate ?

    It is my suspicion that the War on Drugs was actually just Prohibition dressed up in a new costume.

    Unfortunately for every person who meant well and desired good ,

    there was someone who would use the new Prohibition merely as a vehicle to line their own pockets ,

    or an excuse to play petty dictator and micro – manage the lives of strangers.

    My theory anyway.
