Some flinched when Dr. Fauci commanded the children of America to take the mRNA shots fraught with deadly side effects, but now it’s out that the agency he has controlled for decades like a Byzantine despot, the NIAID, gave a $1.6 million grant to a lab in Tunisia — that world-beating center of the bio-sciences — to study what happens when puppy-dogs are pinned down so that ravenous sandflies can chew their snouts off.

I guess it didn’t go too well for the puppies. (And doesn’t one wonder exactly what was learned doing that?) We are not Tunisia, of course, at least not yet. We are the mighty USA, a nation imbued with the moral spirit of Walt Disney, and for us this puppy-dog caper might just be an experiment-too-far. We’ll have to stand by months, maybe years, to find out what the effects are of mRNA shots in human children, but two known possibilities stand out: inflammation and scarring of the heart (myocarditis + sequelae), and an incrementally disabled immune system. Do you really want those shots in your children? — America might ask.

And how does Dr. Fauci imagine the child vaxx program would be carried out? In the schools, I suppose, where the subjects of the experiment can be conveniently rounded-up every day. Would you suppose that roughly half the parents in the land would then withdraw their kids from the public school system and, if so, what becomes of the system when they’re gone? Not anything good, I promise you. But consider that it is already a rotten system ever more incapable of turning out citizens who can speak English, write a coherent sentence, and add up a column of figures, let alone name the capital of Tunisia (warning: trick question!).

Dr. Fauci is ever more emblematic of the American predicament: maniacs and doofuses in charge of powerful institutions strategically positioned to wreck the country. For now, they strangely enjoy protection within this matrix of captive institutions while carrying out their nefarious missions. So, the question arises: do Americans wish to live in a wrecked country?

Looking at the cities controlled by the party of chaos-and-wreckage, the answer seems to be yes. San Francisco, home of House Speaker Mrs. Pelosi, decriminalized crime, an interesting civics experiment from the Thomas Hobbes school of social engineering. Remove the penalty for stealing $950 worth of goods and see what happens. So far, the result seems to be that incentivized folks will enter places of business and help themselves to the goods on display without paying for them. Mrs. Pelosi’s prescription for this is to pass public spending acts that will reduce the value of dollars so that $950 will eventually be the price of a Snickers bar. Problem solved! Steal two and the police might have to get into the act.

For the worker bees of Silicon Valley — rich beyond the wildest dreams of the workless and hiveless bees out in flyover country, weeping over their children’s Happy Meals — San Francisco is the big city hive, the center of their universe, the place where all the honey is stored. Yet the sidewalks outside San Francisco’s fabulous restaurants, where honey is dispensed, are littered with the human equivalent of dung beetles. But what is the insect kingdom without diversity?

Likewise, Seattle, home-base of Bill Gates’s Microsoft and Jeff Bezos’s Amazon, celebrates especially the diversity between stupendously wealthy creatures of the board-room and the filthy, reeking scavengers of the bottoms and margins, huddled in their miserable tent encampments under the freeways in Seattle’s eternal rain. At least those poor creatures get to stay zonked on fentanyl so they don’t suffer so much when the sandflies chew their snouts off.

Has America begun to wonder: is all that okay? And if it’s not okay, what about the people who are keeping it not okay? Do they get to remain in charge of the institutions that exist to regulate okayness? This is the quandary America finds itself in, starting with the head-of-state who, in the proverbial sense, has no clothes, and from him running through all the sub-heads-of-state such as DOT Secretary “Pete,” Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas, Attorney General Merrick Garland, new four-star admiral Rachel (formerly Richard) Levine — in charge of the HHS Public Health Service (including mental health) — and Dr. Tony Fauci, as pesky and eternal in the nation’s public life as the sandfly of the Tunisian littoral.

    What you are witnessing is an Empire gone mad as often happens as it flails around in its death throes. If you want to understand where this is all going then have a look at Roman Emperor Elagabalus. Rome became so insane that it had a 14-year-old male prostitute that worshipped a black rock as Emperor.

    • RaymondR October 25, 2021 at 10:09 am #

      Be careful, you know what’s at the centre of the Ka’aba in Mecca, worshiped by a billion Muslims worldwide? A black rock.

      • Beryl of Oyl October 25, 2021 at 10:24 am #

        Is that where the name of the company buying up all the single-family homes comes from?

        Our Attorney General, who should have been removed from office by now, was just ranting about white people owning homes is racist, or something.

        Obama poked his head out too.

      • messianicdruid October 25, 2021 at 10:53 am #

        Are you sure it is a rock?

      • Alfred October 25, 2021 at 10:58 am #

        Raymond, I’m sorry this is wrong.

        Those billions of Muslims don’t worship rocks of any color.

        There is no God worthy of worship Except God.

        (the one God of all monotheist religions.)

        Rocks, uh… no.

        • hmuller October 25, 2021 at 11:24 am #

          But they’ll beat the hell out of each other to get near enough to touch the rock. Hundreds of people have been trampled to death around the Kaba’a on more than one occasion.

          The Catholic Church played it smart. Millions of holy relics rather than just one. No line, no crowd, no waiting. Donation box on your left.

        • Alzaebo October 25, 2021 at 1:52 pm #

          Durring Hajj they whisper to it, leave notes to it, touch and speak to it. It is a true Old Testament living idol, The spirit lives in the stone.

          There is no One God. There is One God above *your* gods, northern invader.

          Monotheism is a revolt, invented by one demographic in the southern Middle East, in defiance of the far superior demographic driven into their shattered lands.

          • anmariwakaranai October 25, 2021 at 4:48 pm #

            The black rock is a meteorite.

            Black Rock cchanged its name to Xi, didn’t it?

          • anmariwakaranai October 26, 2021 at 12:17 pm #

            Not so, Alzeabo. King Tuts dad had a conversion to monotheism, and they killed him for it. A Jewish psychiatrist told me they got their religion from Egypt.

            Haven’t really looked into it though it is interesting.

            You know how history always rhymes? I wonder if Tuts dads story is the first ripple in the tsunami that came later.

        • MisterBimmler October 26, 2021 at 10:01 am #

          The chunk of meteoric iron at the center of the hooplah is not supposed to be the Diety. But it’s probably Elagabalus’ rock all the same. Same as Joseph Atwill and Robert Price can prove that the Christian religion was a fabrication by the Romans to corrupt and suborn the Jewish religion. But it doesn’t mean there wasn’t a person called Yeshua executed for seditious activities. In fact there were more than one involved in the Judean People’s Front. And you can go on and on. What is God supposed to be, anyway? an old guy in the clouds making everyone miserable? Check. That’s a demiurge.

          • anmariwakaranai October 26, 2021 at 12:20 pm #

            What’s God supposed to be? The force that created all.
            Pre big bang strings? I think so.

          • Alfred October 26, 2021 at 12:59 pm #

            God is labeled correctly. He is many things…

            One thing is Justice.

            God is Justice.

            People have done some unspeakable things.

            I have to believe in Justice.

          • anmariwakaranai October 26, 2021 at 1:24 pm #

            Yes Alfred, but mercy too.
            We all deserve death for what we have done.
            All He wants is the sacrifice of a humble heart,
            A repentant spirit.

    • Hereward the Woke October 25, 2021 at 10:39 am #

      I think Elagbalus might be a step up from Biden. Is he still available?

      • hmuller October 25, 2021 at 11:31 am #

        Elagabalus (reigned 218-222) what a character! Nearly all previous Roman Emperors had sodomized boys and young men – no big deal to the public. But Elagabalus insisted on always being a catcher rather than a pitcher – way too effeminate to be respected as an Emperor. His own grandmother had the Praetorian Guard kill him. Some family?!

        • Hereward the Woke October 25, 2021 at 4:56 pm #

          Was his mother called Hillaria Clintonia by any chance?

      • oswegatchie October 25, 2021 at 1:41 pm #

      • hmuller October 26, 2021 at 10:03 am #

  2. mitchellc October 25, 2021 at 10:03 am #

    Jim, you really need to get out. Perhaps a drive trip would do. I think you would be astounded at the sheer volume of cars and drivers everywhere.

    People should step back, forget current events, and try to focus on what they are actually seeing. This can help put them in position as a thinker, a perspective that is necessary to put it all together.

    Their actions speak of desperation. They so want to be able to control what is coming, if nothing more than to save their own skin.

    The truth is that no one is in control. Once that hard truth is realized, your expectations and blood pressure might go down.

    • thirdcoastlegend October 25, 2021 at 10:05 am #

      Good point about traffic.

      In my area the daytime traffic levels are as bad or worse than the pre-Beer Flu days.

      • Beryl of Oyl October 25, 2021 at 10:32 am #

        Saturday was unusually busy where I am. Maybe it was people realizing they don’t have to listen to Fauci and Birx over their Halloween pronouncements, IDK.

        • Not_GeorgeT October 25, 2021 at 12:01 pm #

          Very busy in the Northeast, however this is the annual “peak Fall foliage season”.

          Folks spend lots of $ on expensive fuel to sit in traffic “peeping at leaves”.

          • Beryl of Oyl October 25, 2021 at 12:16 pm #

            People inch along in line to get to Vermont. IMO better scenery can be seen right here in New York.

            You don’t even need a car, just stop by any of the local parks other other open spaces.

          • oswegatchie October 25, 2021 at 1:45 pm #

            I grew up in Rensselaer County, NY. Lots of great back roads and right next to Vermont without the tourist crap. Washington County up where Jim lives is even better IMHO. The Adirondacks are world class for a combo of scenery and color.

          • Socrates-Detroit October 25, 2021 at 9:55 pm #

            Many Americans enjoy driving. I do.

            Joyride now, while you can. I do.

            In the not too distant future, that long chain of essential events may be compromised. Refining gasoline is very complex, more so today.

            Some days I’m tempted to get an 1950 Ford. There are quite a few out there. I doesn’t ride or handle or accelerate or stop or do anything as well as my first car, an 1980 Ford Fairmont, let alone a 2011 Chevy Malibu or a 2019 Toyota Camry.

            But it will run on cruder gasoline (provided it is not tainted by too much methanol). It needs more routine maintenance–but it is not complicated. It is much easier to keep running.

            If you need wheels for the long emergency, any basic domestic car with a straight six and manual everything built before 1970, or a VW Beetle, same dates, provided that these cars, or better yet, pickups, led sheltered lives till now and don’t have rust. THEY will be the hot ticket for the long emergency.

            If you have nice weather, and don’t need to carry people or objects, any pre-1980 Honda Piper Cub will do.

            I’m not too enthused about a Mad Max-type society. If it comes to that, I think we are more likely to regress to a feudalism like what we see in Sassenach-Outlander Scotland, where the lords pay tribute to the NWO while they lord it over their fiefdoms, with some treating their peasants better than others.

            If we are lucky, for the duration of mankind as we know it, (that is, until the Second Coming), in the US, the future will be a lot more like the past in small-town, rural America. It will be hard, but “normal”. People will rediscover why society had rules and roles. That will be the place to be. And enterprising people will figure out how to get or make motor fuel. If lucky.

          • hmuller October 26, 2021 at 10:17 am #

            Socrates,

            Your vision resembles that of our host JHK in his 4 book series on life after collapse. (To which I wish he would add more volumes) Basically, it’s an 1870 rural America with only a wisp of local government and no working railroads.

            The Powers That Be have in mind a “Hunger Games” future.

            I suspect much more of the world will look like Haiti. An Elite in guarded compounds. Most of us in abject poverty. Your survival and protection from human predators will depend on belonging to a group (family or like minded friends and neighbors) providing mutual support.

          • Socrates-Detroit October 26, 2021 at 8:37 pm #

            Hmuller,

            Sadly, I agree with you. I think most urban people will be as you say.

            If we are lucky, my assertaion is that in “small-town and rural America” life will go back to 1930-1960. This opinion is strongly biased by “The Long Emergency”, where JHK wrote, to paraphrase, “we will rediscover the basics”.

            The more ‘sophisticated’ a society, the greater the shock will be to it.

            The USA is a very sophisticated society–kind of like a mediocre Ferrari—a lot things need to go “right” for it to work, and when it does, it’s not necessarily even as good as a lesser car.

            Europe is sophisticated too, but they are not plagued with suburban sprawl, and more of their food comes from smaller-scale farming.

            When the machinery seizes up, as it appears to be starting to do, middle suburbia in particular, and America in general is in for a nasty shock.

            During my lifetime, America has wreaked a lot of havoc on several countries whose inhabitants did nothing to me, or us, like Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yugoslavia before that, not to mention Afghanistan. The irony is that these people suffer, but survive in the face of the chaos and anarchy. Not all of them, but most. Can we Americans?

        It’s busy because of compound growth. If there were the same proportion of reserves to pop as 1910, global pop could hit 20b.

        But since there’s not, and tot sustainable pop sans liquid gold is what, 1b, then guess what?

        Once you put that together, everything going on makes sense. So let the band play on. My advice is to find some women’s clothing.

        The Constitution is long gone, it would behoove you to worry about the Bill of Rights which was the most valuable of the two and see if you can save that, but the odds are against it so let it burn baby let it burn perhaps we can get rid of the fools on the hill that way.

    If anything will force Dr. Fauci to resign, it will be the puppy torture story, and deservedly so. The observation that those who would abuse people first begin with animals seems to be applicable here with the plans for forced vaccination of children.

    Another observation, don’t assume a conspiracy when incompetence is more likely. Our ruling class are no “elite” but they stunningly incompetent.

      That story was known for weeks if not longer, but it only just made it into the mainstream media.

      There is speculation going on as to why now?

      It seems there is some kind of battle going on as to who is going to take the fall over the gain of function scandal.

      Having Fauci step away over the torture story might protect others higher up, or it might be to protect Fauci from further inquiry as to his doings.

      • hmuller October 25, 2021 at 10:22 am #

        Yes indeed. Cuomo’s removal made the nursing home death story go away.

        • Beryl of Oyl October 25, 2021 at 10:26 am #

          I think Cuomo was removed because he decided to ease up on the mask bs.

          Notice that his wacky successor went for the gagging babies torture.

          • Islander October 25, 2021 at 10:53 am #

            I can’t help thinking that Cuomo was removed because he was—in spite of the nursing home mess—actually a credible future presidential candidate. Not in 2020, but possibly in the future.

            He could have formed a competing power base within the party.

            Someone the Deepers couldn’t control?

            Just a wild speculation.

            But look at how Spitzer was taken down with virtually the same gambit.

            it is quite possible that Fauci is on the block to be taken down with the puppies taking the role of Spitzer’s hookers and Cuomo’s “inappopriateness.” And Epstein’s underage transgressions.

            Misdirection from the real crimes, or the real threats to TPTB posed by the takedownee.

            But, as I say, just speculatin’!!

          • Beryl of Oyl October 25, 2021 at 11:06 am #

            You are correct that he was on Letitia James’ list because he had presidential aspirations.

            But why remove him at that particular moment in time, when she already had him on notice?

            It didn’t hurt that MAN in a dress to have killed off a number of nursing home residents.

            I think that’s why James didn’t follow through with prosecuting Cuomo over the nursing homes. Others who did similar things would have been exposed.

            I think your speculations have a lot of validity.

            Eliot’s removal eventually cleared the way for Andrew to become governor.

            Everybody thinks that Eliot’s successor also resigned in disgrace, but he didn’t. He just bowed to pressure and didn’t seek his own term.

            Eliot Spitzer, for all his flaws, was at times capable of doing something just because it was right.

            Unlike the rest of them.

          • Islander October 25, 2021 at 11:49 pm #

            Beryl,

            What does this refer to?
            “It didn’t hurt that MAN in a dress to have killed off a number of nursing home residents.”

            Are you talking about “Rachel” Levine?
            Or someone else?

            Can’t quite follow your train of thought.

            Re Spitzer, it is my recollection that he was the only guy who was serious about investigating Wall Street funny business in connection with the 2008 meltdown.

            Am I wrong about that? I know for sure that he was the ONLY person who was looking into something big just when he was conveniently sidelined.

            Like when Paull Wellstone was suddenly dead and he was the ONLY one who was asking inconvenient questions about the Iraq WMD frenzy.

            I always hoped that Spitzer would make a political comeback. Much worse men have done so.

            But perhaps he’d had enough. Seen enough.

          • AngryFarmer October 29, 2021 at 2:44 pm #

            They were afraid he’d run again.
            The Dems see Covid as a new Great Depression.
            They plan to use it to foist a second New Deal.

            To this end, they made Cuomo a poster boy…an avatar of competent big government.

            Fast forward to the nursing home mass-murder.

            Simple enough to keep the country from talking about it when you control the media.

            BUT….

            Even flaccid NY Republicans would use it in a campaign.

            This threatened to discredit the entire narrative.

            So he was quiety asked not to run. He refused.

            So they took him out, like George did Lenny.

        • thirdcoastlegend October 25, 2021 at 10:27 am #

          Supposedly Cuomo’s fall was a successful coup staged by Hochul after he told her he was going to replace her with a more vibrant Lt. Gov for his next run.

          • Beryl of Oyl October 25, 2021 at 10:34 am #

            That’s plausible, but it would have been more like him to not tell her anything, and just do it at the last minute.

      • SW October 25, 2021 at 10:25 am #

        As horrible as this is, maybe finally, Fauci will be forced to answer for his actions. But — who are kidding? — he’ll deny, deny,deny and some low level stooge who’s name is on an official form will take the fall. But how long can he hide behind them is the question? And how long before the people he’s hiding behind decide they quit as the stooges?

        Here’s a story about a young girl who asked her parents to be part of the study for the vaccine (about 1,000 participated) and within 24 hours had a severe reaction. There’s a recording of a phone call to Pfizer at the bottom you might want to listen to if you have the time. It’s about 15 minutes in length.

          • SW October 25, 2021 at 5:53 pm #

            This story will be buried or somehow cancelled before it can be fully investigated & exposed. At least , that’s my guess at this point. Fauci made the announcement that in a few weeks the vaccine will be available for children & there will be plenty lining their kids up — the COVID subgroup of Heaven’s Gate.

        Ah! Like Cuomo going down for being a boor instead of instituting bad policy that led to a massive spike in nursing home deaths, a policy followed by other governors.

        Every scapegoating exercise–whether the chosen sacrifice is guilty or innocent–is preceded by institutional crisis. Letting Fauci go over dogs instead of GOF research is a two-fer: (1) a vast network is protected by removing an obvious culprit, and (2) the inference that GOF research caused the virus, or its accidental release, remains alive and squirming in the subterranean zeitgeist, rebooting the fear necessary for totalitarianism. Mustn’t let the fear wane along with antibodies!

        Expect many more scapegoats as the moral defectives who pass for a ruling class go into a high-speed wobble and begin each day with dread at their own looming irrelevance.

      Raymond,

      “don’t assume a conspiracy when incompetence is more likely”. That’s one school of thought, but my thinking travels in the opposite direction: don’t assume incompetence when a conspiracy is more likely”.

      For a top echelon of mandarins with unlimited access to money and power – close relatives, but not the same thing, and they have both – it would be a strange form of incompetence to blunder their way into key events that have been the levers and actuators steering this Titanic into a now unavoidable iceberg. Consider the Reichstag fire, “Remember the Maine”, Gulf of Tonkin, the Kennedy brothers’ murders, 9/11, convenient “suicides” a la Epstein, and finally, the biggest “incompetence” of all, gain of function research, covid hysteria, “vaccines”, etc, just to mention some of the best known head scratchers.

        @Rulo Deschamps,

        Re: Re Raymond

        It’s an interesting question, and has been for me for awhile. The way you phrase it jogged some gears to turn.

        Gregory Batson, in his book, “Mind and Nature” 1982, spent some paragraphs on the subject of scale. It seems that within different levels of scales, different things look the same, and also the same things look different — going from one scale to another. He gave some examples, but after all these years, of failing to get the point, this seems a case in point.

        One dollar, ten dollars, a hundred dollars, a thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, a hundred thousand dollars, we are talking about one level of economic measure, that is not a unit of measure, but is a context complete with expectations and limited thinking. One million, tenmillion, ahundred million, abillion dollars, is also a context complete with expectations and limited thinking, but on another level. Many words change meaning or valiance on this level from the “lower” level. The same is true going to the next level of ten billion dollars and above. Yet economists think of dollars as units of measure consistent regardless of level of scale. Things are relative between levels. I’m not saying everything is therefore relative, I’m saying it’s useful to be able to find the discontinuity’s of meanings of words because it indicates a change of level. Thus I would argue, reducing the population of humanbeings on earth by six sevenths is on one level genocide, and on another level, saving the planet for the one seventh which is on that level.

        Of course, I’ve skipped the level in the middle there, where making a choice of where to stand when you aren’t needed any longer, by those at the highest level, is needed — and you weren’t lucky enough, though you once were a potential member of those who would be counted among the one seventh. Turns out to be your plans are moot, because they decide for you, in or out. Looking at you, Dr. Antony Fauchi.

        Historically, in every government, in every empire, in every monarchy, there is always, behind them in the shadows, a deep state which provides the logistics for Henry V or whomever to go claim whatever the term on whomever. Henry proceeds to either squander it all or expand the investment. Pity Shakespeare didn’t dramatize that part of the operation. Or maybe he did, I haven’t read much Shakespeare.

        At any rate, on the third level, competence is assumed because you got there, first by birth into old money, and then you mastered the concept of “zero or one” what a byte is. Then you multiplied the number of dollars in the family by some factor. How? by making plans that include others. Even better you now have plans to exclude six seventh of the world population. Plans to “save the planet”

        It’s only on the first level, where reaching nine billion people on the planet seems to be the goal, where you are incompetent, or conspiring genocide. Is making most females, or most people infertile, genocide? Simply running real world experiments or tests on things that might cause infertility, which may or may not succeed, but will nevertheless be instructive, and lead to GMO viruses which are successful, is that genocide? Or is failing the first goround incompetence?

        Of course we must have those in the shadows in Iran, China, Mexico, Afgantown, who have similar MOs, but different objectives. Putin and Lavarov I assure you have different objectives and are quite competent insofar as resisting shadow Russia as well as shadow DC and London. Xi is mostly on board with the west, but China is split, so dealing with the demands of one thousand seven hundred million “citizens” requires alot of flexibility in thinking. “Saving the Earth” and “Saving China” may end up looking alot like genocide, because the problem of feeding that many people three times a day can get old after a few decades of the numbers just going up. If you can imagine the problem from the third level.

        It seems getting the numbers to go down instead of up, up, and up, past the number X, which equals the number of people on the planet needed to consume all available current resources thus overwheming the productive capacity of the systems of the planet to produce — is not humanly possible. One way or another the population will exceed X, and then crash, and for those on the third level, multiplying their investment on the event only means directing planning in that direction. Which if done successfully, is not conspiracy, but rather, competent planning.

        Of course, I was interested in the question of how Mind works. I do hope there are levels where there are no dollars at all. Indeed, in Nature, the dynamic balance of the elements is random, within a range of variation. Throw in technocratic science with abundant fossil fuels, add a pinch of gumption and pint of good’ol American candoo voodoo, and the carrying capacity of humanbeings on Earth is expanded by a factor of say ten. Empty the oceans of fish and replace with plastic crap. Mine topsoil for nutrients and replace with petroleum derived NPK. Dumb down six seventh of the citizens with compulsory education. Follow up with stupefying entertainment with Alec Baldwin as the cherry on top pschyop, where an entertainer is just giving’em what they want to pay for, OTOH, and OTOH, has no confidence the plebeians can choose the right candidate, let alone maintain the safety discipline necessary for handling firearms, then kills with a gun on a movie set and gets away with it.

        Not that everything is a psychop. I no longer try to keep track of all the psychops, I prefer to stick to fundamentals, to beauty, to the seasons passings. This is also Mind.

          Yuri, I spent an hour yesterday and about the same today searching and considering your post, thnx. I don’t know why because I am an absolute generalist, but ‘economies of scale’ keep popping into my mind, standard deviation, and the micro/macro effect/affect in nature. So whether it be enforced by man or nature, God or demon, the efficiency of the earth to sustain us, reflected in (Rulos rainbow slices, debris floating in the rings of Saturn or filling our dirt sandwich, or), one grain of wheat, remains on the brink.
          The cup is overflowing &
          This is the singularity.

          Btw, got lost in Shakespeare quotes:

        • Rulo Deschamps October 27, 2021 at 5:04 pm #

          Yuri,

          Your comments warrant much more thought than I can express here. I’ll ponder them awhile.

          On the subject of scale, and $: Agreed. Massive distortions. Take cost of food. I’m a small farmer. I know how much work it is to raise and harvest plants and animals. How can they be so cheap at the store? Many reasons, subsidies galore, petrochemicals and automation, factory operations. We’re starting to see changes there with food inflation starting to tick towards the true cost to eat. Not quite there yet, but starting.

          Same on many areas. How can “stuff”, tools, appliances be so cheap? Outsourcing, slave labor, diff environmental standards, lower quality, planned obsolescence. Again, some correction happening, but needs to go a long way. Our grandparents had tools that would outlive them, our parents, and reach us. See how long a Chinese screwdriver lasts and you get a lesson in all this.

          Shakespeare, I used to memorize parts of Henry V, being my favorite play. Still remember the long intro. Part of it: “Then, should the warlike Harry, like himself, assume the port of Mars, and at his heels, leashed in like hounds, should famine, sword and fire crouch for employment” It’s been many years, so it may not be 100% correct, but you get the gist. I suppose you are talking about using the treasury to conquer France, Agincourt and all that.

          Putin and Lavrov are very smart and Russia is their first priority, as it should be. Xi is very hard to read.

          Dollars are another distortion. And yes, print enough, and the population may rise to a level that even by today’s bloated numbers would be shocking. At the costs you describe, basically the death of Earth. $ is the biggest enemy of nature, as enough $ will cause every bit of nature to be sold to highest bidder.

            anmari, that’s the overt, sure. The covert… harder to understand. Maybe not “death to America”, but “absorb America, let her live, but only as our pet”? It’s a symbiotic relationship we have with them now, a strange interaction where it seems one cannot live with the other, like in some toxic romances. Also, like another poster noted, China is far from a unified front, although they’d want the world to believe that. All kinds of intrigues and maneuvering behind the curtains. Lots of power factions, powerful actors. And I don’t mean the “democracy and human rights activists”! Others. The industrialists, the imperialists, the military, the internal and external spy apparatus, technologists, intellectuals, racists, universalists, scientists… I don’t understand that place, I don’t have enough information…

            Rulo, if the plan is to kill 6/7 of the world, excluding the Chinese and maybe some African & Indians, just how many Americans do you suppose will be let live?

            When I lived over there, pre Xi, it was pretty clear they allowed the black market to function for everyday people, or rather tolerated it, a factory could be the gutted opera house, women huddled on the floor around a brazier sewing everlast equipment, non functioning chandeliers still swaying in the icy breeze coming off the river, where giant signs implored “Don’t throw your newborn girls in the river!” All was grey, after Hong Kong, the Vegas of the Orient, though I did miss Thailand in my travels.

            But as with Evergrande, as with Corona, & as with education, now as then when word comes down, It Is Decreed.

            I think it’s pretty simple Ru, they string up (by new definition), an enemy as policy changes, sometimes on a dime.

      Our ruling class is stunningly incompetent? Hmmm… Greatest upward transfer of wealth in history since 2008 – especially during the Plandemic. Real income for real people down over the past 50 years. Citizens locked down, vaxxed and surveilled. Small business destroyed, monopolies more powerful than ever. If that’s incompetence, well goddamn, it’s a good thing our ruling class is so damn stupid.

      Torturing Tunisian puppies? If we don’t care about Fauci’s role in the AIDS plandemic, or the current plandemic, I don’t see anyone throwing the evil gnome on the pyre for some pound puppies. In my opinion, this is just more carefully released “information” to condition us to accept new levels of depravity from our masters.

            I told him “In my defense, I didn’t even know you when I named you, and she was a really really good dog”.

    The test beagles were “debarked” before having their heads sewn into boxes to be eaten by sandflies. This was done so the “researchers” wouldn’t be bothered by the incessant barking, whining, and shrieks of pain. Likewise, ordinary people have been debarked by universities, the corporate media, lawfare, pharma, and all the other racketeering demons of moral collapse.

      The man who funded that was allowed to make up the “science: that two year old babies needed to be gagged and smothered, and people carried out the orders of this sick quack.

      Again, this was easily available information when this ghoul was selected for and allowed to remain on the coronavirus task force.

      Why didn’t President Trump fire him, when he finally and belatedly got it through his head, what Fauci was?

      Someone obviously advised him against it. Why?

      It may seem like a minor point, but I’d substitute “bothered” with “irritated”.

      These are sadists and monsters. “Bothered” could be read as pressing against a conscience they don’t have. But people get irritated by shrieks and yelps, like any Sunday morning homeowner trying to read the paper who shuts his or her window to howling dogs near the front yard.

      • ZrCrypDiK October 29, 2021 at 2:04 am #

        No, true sadists/psychopaths relish and revel in the horror of something else’s suffering. That is their ‘boner’ moment. Normal people, with an inkling of empathy (morals/ethics), cringe and can’t even bare it.

    Tony “POS” Fauci is the 21st century version of Josef Mengele, The Angel of Death. Eventually, the plebs catch on but as Jim wrote today, he has his protection within the system. That won’t last forever when the system collapses.

        One thing about high ranking government officials is that they are treated well and tend to overstay their welcome on Planet Earth. My bet is that he will still be walking this world when the SHTF and everything collapses.

        All these motherf#$ers who are purposely experimenting with people and making themselves uber rich off the backs of the many will get what’s coming to them. All across the globe we are seeing civil unrest and protests, sometimes, violent. You just don’t hear about it because the Gov’t and Pressitutes don’t want you to know. People are getting pissed.

        These sequence of events being acted out today has been performed throughout history. We might think it’s new or novel but it’s been done before. The endgame is always the same and it has never been kind to the ruling class.

        • C.O.Jones October 25, 2021 at 11:47 am #

          Fauci must be arrested before he is suicided. He needs to be squeezed in a public trial and everyone he rats on must be held accountable.

          He may be 82 but he is afraid of dying. If he were merely incarcerated, he would go the way of Jeffrey Epstein in short order.

          He should be arrested rendition-style, isolated and stashed someplace not easily accessible and interrogated on camera, broadcast for the world to see. If he goes schtum, try him for the crimes against humanity he has flagrantly committed included gain of function diseases, note plural, and the death shot that has put billions in his various accounts. Hold him accountable per the Nuremberg codes and march him to the gallows. He will no longer remain silent.

          Time is of the essence because if this raging psychopath feels the walls close in any further, he can and will release something that makes Covid look like robust health. Creutzfeldt Jakob is in the realm of possibility and so is Ebola.

          • Anthea October 25, 2021 at 1:42 pm #

            I’m not much of a student of history, but what little I have read indicates that no regime’s criminals are prosecuted or executed until that regime is replaced. Normally a regime is replaced when there is a competing power structure of some kind that potentially has sufficient power to replace them. The competing power structure normally wants to replace the old regime because it looks like a pretty nice gig.

            There are several ways this can happen: military conquest by another nation-state, military coup, or internal revolt. I’m not sure I see a competing power structure that has the muscle for this.

          • Alfred October 25, 2021 at 5:08 pm #

            Yep.

            They can ‘Dark Winter’ any time they want.

            Agreed, Fauci should be debriefed and kept alive as long as it takes to round up all those connected.

      People like Fauci become detached from the consequences of their experiments. Their only response is “Oops”.

      • Soul Forensics October 25, 2021 at 2:35 pm #

        “Become”?

        Many evil people show their true colours as youths, or even in the usual golden, innocent years pre- 8 years old.

        I don’t know Fauci’s early life story, but many people think there’s some adverse seminal event that turns normal people into monsters. That’s often not the case. As they age, they just become more experienced and competent about using their sadism to greater effect.

    • Alzaebo October 25, 2021 at 3:45 pm #

      Only difference is Fauci and the medical “research demon sadists are real.

      The Mengele story was a work of fiction, a book put out by scammers who wanted money.

      They were “survivors” that called their little ‘nonprofit’ CANDLS. When asked asked to show their scars, they claimed that Mengele was such a gifted eebil genius surgeon that his surgeries left no scars, for they had none.

      The real Josef Mengele was a wounded combat nurse given light duty taking notes in a notebook as he observed twins and a family of dwarves at play.

      The whole “injecting blue dye in the eyes, transplanting organs, grafting hands” was simply a repeat of the outrageous Hollywood Supervillain horseshit of atrocity propaganda used even in the ancient world.

      Gods, how they must laugh up their sleeves.
      Tack on a moral patina and people will lap up the most ridiculous claims without question.

      That’s what I did, believing these absurdities and thir moral premise all my life. Then one day I asked myself, “well, how did they do it? I mean, what are the mechanics, the logistics involved?”

      • Paula D October 25, 2021 at 4:00 pm #

        You made me wonder, so I looked up Mengele.
        He was protected from capture by the Russians, ferried through the ratline to South America, and died a natural death many decades later.
        Therefore, I reject any claim that he was low level. If he were actually low level, he would have been prosecuted and/or killed.

        • Paula D October 25, 2021 at 4:03 pm #

          That is, the Russians would have captured him, but he was moved out of their way, as the Russians advanced towards Auschwitz

            Thank you, Paula D, many fled the murder of their nation, even those of low rank.

            Eventually, so many hollywood stories were written, they became holy writ, a new religion.
            This new belief’s moral premise has ruined its own writers as much as it has ruined us.

          • Alzaebo October 25, 2021 at 5:50 pm #

            Addendum, I should explain: Ever since I actually looked into what was actually claimed, I find the war propaganda we Boomers were steeped, soaked, drenched in to be particularly galling.

            Vile and repugnant. Yet, in any comment section, we are awash in such references, the moral inference cannot be escaped.

            Worst of all, is that it is all so shallow. Like listening to primitive, frightened children as they argue and blame. I should and will try to hold my tongue.

        Logistics, as in materials receipts, pay stubs, work requests, quartermaster lists, documentation, physical evidence…

        Go ahead. Look for yourself. The only documentation I found was a headline copy of the British Independent newspaper…

        That made the same claims- except that it was Russia that did it, dated 1917.

        Stories lifted from a certain ‘history’ book, repeated now as they were then, one needs only change the names but keep the theme.

        The Longest War, tactics used when one is a permanent minority, yet winning by any means necessary is all that matters against the northern invaders.

        War without weapons. Culture war. Storytelling and rumours are a mighty hack of the human operating system, because speech, and memory transported in verbal stories, is the human OS. Our guidelines.

        This hack, this War, is baked in the cake. It is a Hatfield-McCoy scenario running for so long that its origins have been forgotten. We’re in consanguinous deep instinct territory- this is Nature talking, demographic competition for territory and dominance, beyond reason and capable of many copycats.

            Through closed-up towns, forgotten dreams, and welcome signs
            Fading far behind

            I’m thankful for the sons who died
            Didn’t back down from a Federal fight
            Where the lead lies still and the smoke still rises
            On the Blair mountainside
            Coal Country

            It put a roof over my head
            And the armor on the tanks in Normandy
            The lights shone bright in the hands of its care
            From the western skies to Washington D.C

            That’s what government stamps and codeine’s for

        “That is to say we and our kids, grandkids and now great grandkids have been saddled with enormous amounts of debt.” No. The national debt as it exists now can never be paid off. Perhaps some of the current holders of that debt will get ownership of pieces & parts of the USA, the other debt holders will be left holding the bag — of nothing. Bill Gates may think he owns a lot of valuable of farmland, but traditionally land gets taxed. The voters have a say as to what the tax rate actually is.

          And Paul Krugman (winner of a Nobel prize in Economics) is perfectly OK with that. Go figure.

      According to the NY Times, (a garbage rag of lies) the just ended fiscal 2021 budget spent $6.8 trillion; $4.0 trillion from revenue; $2.8 trillion from FED printed dollars. Fiscal 2020 was even worse. (Personally, I suspect the real numbers are worse than they’re saying, i.e. less revenue, more borrowing.)

      All dollars are fungible. So did the dollars used to pay the interest on the $28 trillion Fed Govt. debt come from revenue dollars or printed dollars? Take your pick. I view that expense as coming from the $2.8 trillion in newly borrowed money.

      The Federal Reserve is a consortium of banks – private banks. Our money is loaned into existence and the debt has to be paid off. The Constitution says nothing about this, but rather that our government creates its own money, based on gold and silver. Thus with the Federal Reserve Act, our sovereignty was given away to non-elected, unnamed individuals, quite possibly foreign with interests not in our best interest.

      • tresho October 25, 2021 at 12:10 pm #

        “The Constitution says nothing about this, but rather that our government creates its own money, based on gold and silver.” That part of the Constitution has been totally ignored for decades now. IIRC the Constitution actually defines the value of a dollar based on the weight of gold.

          Might as well give it away
          After you’ve stored the grain
          Golds gonna rust
          And silvers gonna turn to dust.

          And the locusts in the Parsha plague
          Are drones that come from China
          And what they bring
          Is an awful sting
          A dyna.

          If this is a psalm
          Of what comes along
          Then know that the end
          Is His victory.

        • hmuller October 25, 2021 at 6:43 pm #

          The Constitution doesn’t get into the numbers. The Coinage Act of 1792 defines a dollars as 371.25 grains of pure silver or 24.75 grains of pure gold. This creates a silver to gold ration of exactly 15 to 1. An Act in 1837 changed those numbers a little.

    To those of you who haven’t heard about it, look up “Cloward-Piven Strategy” named after 2 Columbia University professors who in the 1960s wanted to overload and blow up the New York welfare system so that it could be replaced by something more radical and controlled by the Feds. A Wikipedia article quotes the 2 professors:

    “The ultimate objective of this strategy—to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income—will be questioned by some. Because the ideal of individual social and economic mobility has deep roots, even activists seem reluctant to call for national programs to eliminate poverty by the outright redistribution of income.[2]”

    It’s taken people like Bernie Sanders 60 years of marching through America’s institutions, but they’re almost at the goal line.

    Thank you once again, Mr K, for your essays, articles and fiction over the years. They have been an antidote to the poison of mediocrity and conformism all around me. And inspired some decisions taken a long time ago, which I’m glad I did. Time is proving you right. Some readers laughed at your timelines, but I knew your vision was true. For me, it was never about speculation, putting dates on events, gaming the markets. It was about radically reducing consumption, becoming sustainable and productive, a citizen not a consumer. It is in great part thanks to your intellectual caliber and clear eyed analysis of current events that I started drifting away from Babylon over a decade ago and focusing on building community, supporting local, educating myself about organic farming while there was still time, getting rid of the TV and its mirages – reducing, reusing, recycling, reading, thinking, and writing, away from the madding crowds. Here’s to you, sir. Thank you.

    Thank you also for the good wishes of commenters here when I decided I needed to travel to my old country to say my farewell to the most important woman in my life, my dear mother, who doesn’t have much time left. It was perilous journey in many ways, but I made it there and just made it back to my farm and my family in the US. I appreciate the good vibes that were sent my way.

    The trip turned out to include another farewell, too: a farewell to my city. The epochal changes we’re experiencing worldwide, due to covid, and the accelerated push towards a surveillance totalitarianism make me suspect I’ll never see it again. Even if I were able to travel back there, the city will be gone, its very soul and essence changed, corrupted beyond recognition.

    It would be rude for me to share all my observations here. I posted them elsewhere in case anyone’s interested, along with many photos, and will include the link at the bottom of my post. Here’s a bit that’s representative of the larger piece:

    “For a few moments, looking out that window, I thought that everything still looked the same, so things may be the same as when I left so long ago. How wrong I was. Not only the place had changed to an almost unrecognizable level, I had changed too. The years do that to our perception. So, while some appearances remained the same, in truth I had arrived at a different city – in great part due to the rise of the global covid catastrophe. A great reset was indeed happening and I would be a witness to it in the weeks that followed. Not stopping to shower, eat or sleep, I closed the window and rushed out of the apartment to go see my mother at her retirement home. I dived into the city always carrying a notebook and camera phone. I cannot present an organized essay of what I experienced. Rather, the reader will have to do with glimpses of reality, insights, random conversations, images. These “screen captures” so to speak will lead to a few conclusions; but my conclusions may be different from the conclusions others may arrive to or infer from these raw materials. Very few will read this, but if only one person finds value in my scribbled notes and bad photos, that’s good enough. 
    So, let’s plunge into one of the 3 capitals or large metropolitan areas closest to Antarctica and the South Pole, along with Wellington, New Zealand, and Melbourne, Australia: Buenos Aires, Argentina, as experienced in October 2021, the second year of the Great Reset.”

    • SW October 25, 2021 at 10:36 am #

      Rulo — Thank you for your lovely post. I know your visit to your mother meant the world to her and she will cherish it forever.

      JHK — I read The Geography of Nowhere about 15 years ago and started following you and reading your books after that. My guess is you’ve had a positive influence on many people’s lives that you’ll never hear from but maybe that’s the fate of all writers. Keep up the good work 🙂 it’s very appreciated.

      • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 5:50 pm #

        SW, thanks. Yes, it’s important to let mentors and admired figures know we appreciate them while they’re still alive. An independent thinker, such as JHK, surely had to battle harder, work harder, to make his voice heard. And some of us heard it loud and clear, inspiring us to be a better version of ourselves. I can only guess, but for each one of us here, there are probably hundreds more that have paid attention to what the man had to say and will not move a finger to thank him.

        So it’s important to say “thank you” now, and show it in concrete ways, a contribution, buying more of his books to give as gifts, anything one can do. We all go into the darkness (or the light) in the end, but while someone who has done us a good deed – make us think and act righteously – is still around, it is indeed the right thing to tell them “you have been good to me, and I appreciate it”.

        Come think of it, that’s what I needed to tell my mother, face to face, one more time.

    • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 10:53 am #

      Thank you for this most excellent post, Rulo. We have missed you. Thank you also for the link to read more.

      Reading your comment reminded me of a novel I read a few weeks ago, Pedro Paramo, by Juan Rulfo. About returning to one’s place of birth, only to see it now as a ghost town.

      • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 5:56 pm #

        Thank you, Mary. Pedro Páramo is a masterpiece. So glad you’ve found it. And yes, it’s an apt analogy of my recent experience, the return, the ghost town, the fading family, death, power, everything once solid melting into air. Futility, defeat, but also meaning.

        Another poster here mentioned Eliot’s “Wasteland”, and I find it amazing that “Páramo” means “Wasteland” in Spanish. Language, timing, ideas and facts that always come in pairs, to tell us something, to capture our attention. The world is a strange place, and there’s so much we don’t know about how it works, what it says.

        • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 7:54 pm #

          Oh isn’t that incredible? Wasteland?

          And that novel came to me so serendipitously. A friend suggested it, when I said I liked Marquez and Allendo’s magical realism.

          It is indeed a masterpiece, as is The Wasteland.

    • JackStraw October 25, 2021 at 11:19 am #

      That was an interesting read, and I can certainly feel your sadness for your once vibrant and prosperous country. Unfortunately, the US is heading down the same path.

      I remember reading a daily blog years ago by a man who was simply trying to survive in a collapsing Argentina. I believe he finally escaped to Ireland. It was a popularly referenced site back on the old LATOC site.

      • pranah October 25, 2021 at 5:42 pm #

        That was ferFAL. His blog was immensely informative and eye-opening re: living in a collapsed economy. The danger he and his family were in all the time–frightening. And he always said that it could happen here. He and his family finally were able to escape to Ireland.

        Rulo–welcome back, thanks for the post. So glad you were able to visit your mother! Sad about your city. I grew up in a small midwestern town, and today it’s a shadow of its former self. Yes, very sad.

        • Alzaebo October 25, 2021 at 5:54 pm #

          And now Ireland, too, is lost. We live in epic times. When the ape historians write their own version of Genesis, they’ll be writing about us, and the legend of the Fall.

          • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 6:24 pm #

            Alzaebo, I thought the same thing. Ireland has become a strange place, for lack of a better word. The madness is everywhere, every country falls.

        • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 6:29 pm #

          pranah, yes, I remember him too. I briefly mention the outer rings of the metropolis, how harsh and dangerous they are, in my piece. Even the middle class enclaves are a gamble with your life as the stakes. The writer you mention lived in one of them.

          I think the French call it elan vital, the will to live, or something like that. It seems Western culture and civilization has lost it and is slowly, or not so slowly, fading away, sapped of its strength, from the Midwest to Buenos Aires to London and everywhere in between…

      • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 6:20 pm #

        Jack, you reminded me of the Ennis family, cherished neighbors and friends when I was growing up. Father, Kevin, was one of those Irish-Argies who couldn’t speak a lick of English despite his name. But his mother, who lived with them, was from the old country, always baking scones for the 8 children, serving them milky tea. The whole clan would go to mass together. The children were all blond and blue eyed. Because they were so many, and their father didn’t make much money as a math professor at the university, the family was barely clinging to lower middle class status. But what they lacked in material goods was more than compensated by the big heart and love, the laughter and goodwill.

        When I became a teen and the hormones kicked in, I tried to date the elder daughter, Brenda, invited her to the movies one rainy Sunday. Oh surprise when she showed up with her dad. Oh, they took their Catholicism seriously, our friends! No fooling around. After that I moved on to easier prey. I’m sure she made it pure to the altar. I know she became a doctor and moved to Patagonia, with her husband, lucky guy. Some of the other children did in fact move to Ireland.

        Thank you for this memory. I hadn’t thought of them in a long time. My mother really enjoyed their friendship and long sessions of scrabble.

    • Mostly Disagreeable October 25, 2021 at 11:26 am #

      Reading your post–so full of love and grief–reminded me of Eliot’s The Wasteland. “These fragments I have shored against my ruins.”

      • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 6:40 pm #

        Mostly, thank you. While I’ve always been a voracious reader of prose, poetry has been difficult for me, especially if not written in my native Spanish. It may be that it’s an art form, in my view, more suitable for listening to than to reading it. One thinks of Homer, or the Bards, and realizes the rhyme, the verses, were a mnemotechnic device, to help remember long narratives by heart.

        In any case, I’m aware of the work you mention, if vaguely, because in my youth I was lucky enough to have a girlfriend who was a big fan, to the point of naming her cat Eliot, and who would read me bits of it, post coitus, so I was able to absorb the feel if not the detail of it. Love and grief, yes.

    • Jarek October 25, 2021 at 12:04 pm #

      A nation is one people of one race. Argentina opened its borders to the Indians and Mestizos of half a dozen other countries – who and resent and hate the White Man for his achievements. Argentina had successfully assimilated various European ethnes, but this is simply a bridge too far. They will not be assimilated but will assimilate Argentina to them and their hatred of it.

      All to save some money….

      • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 7:25 pm #

        Race: a facet of the diamond, a layer of the onion, a band of the rainbow, one of a multitude of interacting, complex factors that determine what the human experience is.

        Not a one size fits all explanation.

        A proctologist can only understand the body using his expertise and knowledge of the anus and its functions. A generalist medical doctor, however, has a better picture of what’s ailing the patient, because he’s not focused on just one organ or system, but the whole human body.

          Rulo,
          Would a proctologist then be correct in opining that a general practitioner “doesn’t know shit”?

    • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 12:04 pm #

      Rulo, what a magnificent piece you’ve written there. It brought a tear to my eye. I think you have perfectly illustrated, on so many levels, the transfer from old to new, from personal and human to mindless bot, from artistic and intellectual to a technical garbage future controlled by China and its WEF/Davos crew. I think we are entering a new ‘dark ages’. The future is not progress, it’s regressive.

      It is so sad to see such a huge city in the complete throes of the covid hoax, to the point where it has lost all its charm and warmth.

      And thank you for including a photo of your lovely mother. I am glad you were able to make the trip and are back safely.

      The photos are also splendid and say so much. The loneliness in many of them is apparent. Or the hopelessness. The buildings are beautiful though, the old ones with the European-inspired architecture.

      And your anecdotal stories peppered throughout – riveting. All in all, just fantastic.

      Thank you for sharing it with us.

      Thank you, Rulo. I enjoyed the words and loved the photos. Also a tinge of emotion at the picture of your mother. The craziness is global. I can’t help but wonder whether this is something in nature causing us to self-destruct.

      • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 6:58 pm #

        Slug, that’s a good observation, a force pushing us to self destruct. I wonder if it applies to every human group or just to us Westerners. I say this because I don’t see it in Asians, Muslims, Africans, but maybe I’m missing something.

        Your handle always makes me think of Margaret Atwood’s brilliant dystopian trilogy, Oryx and Crake. In that work of fiction, humans have messed with swine DNA in order to use them to grow replacement organs for geezers rich enough to pay for them. Some of the pigs escape and go feral, and become pigoons, very intelligent, very aggressive.

        Fiction?

        Glad you enjoyed my observations, if “enjoyed” is the right word. It’s a bit sad.

      Rules,

      I’ve trashed Florida avocados more than once on this blog. I’ll try to be more considerate in the future…

      It’s sad to see everything that was good about this world crumble away leaving only stooped, pitted skeleton. The Michigan I fled over two decades ago is just as cold and unwelcoming as it was when I left it, now that I have returned. The biggest difference is that now it is populated by tatted, pierced junkies polluting their medicated minds with pornographic country hip hop, in debt (yet still able to afford endless doses of ink and weed), unemployed, (or if accidentally employed, trying like hell to make themselves unemployed again) and raising a generation even more feral than themselves. But, to their credit, like the Buenos Aires dumpster diver, up here in the frozen north they are on to the Scamdemic – and heavily armed.

      • tresho October 25, 2021 at 1:43 pm #

        “The Michigan I fled over two decades ago is just as cold and unwelcoming as it was when I left it”
        Once, exactly as I was driving over the state line from Ohio to Michigan, a Michigan driver passed me, cut me off in traffic and gave me the finger. Mother was sitting next to me. I told her with glee, “There’s the Michigan welcome sign!” She cracked up.

        • Blackbird October 25, 2021 at 2:11 pm #

          I thought Michigan drivers were bad until I moved to Florida.
          I thought Florida drivers were bad until I worked in Puerto Rico.
          I thought Puerto Rican drivers were bad until I moved to Qatar.
          Takes some real shit to make Michigan look good by comparison – but it’s out there.

          • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 7:02 pm #

            Bird, I haven’t been to Qatar, but I nod in agreement about Puerto Rico. What a lunatic asylum, except the lunatics are not in buildings, but behind the wheel.

            Give Florida avocados a chance! And by your description of Michigan lumpenproletariat types, I’m not sure why you think their being heavily armed is a plus…

          • Blackbird October 26, 2021 at 3:11 pm #

            Rules,

            Lumpenproletariat are us. They may flush their spare cash down the rusty toilet bowl into the cracked and collapsing septic tank in pursuit of more ink and weed. They may turn their minds into a festering strip club of pornographic country hip hop. But they know who the enemy is. It has been shocking to me – in a good way – to see how many of these Young Confederates (20’s and 30’s – the lost generation) of the Frozen Clusterfuck know that the Plandemic is a depopulation/control/surveillance scam that they intend to answer with, well… a serious lack of cooperation. And they know guns. They depend upon them. The hills are alive, with the sound of gunfire. (Actually, it’s archery season in the woods right now – another 3 weeks for rifle.) Not a lot of accidental shootings up here. Catch a bullet? Maybe it’s time take down those rainbow and BLM flags (I’ve only seen one north of my location) and move downstate.

            I’ll probably be seeking occasional riverine refugia during hurricane season, so let’s see how those Florida guacs handle a fajita.

          • Blackbird October 26, 2021 at 4:44 pm #

            We should have set Puerto Rico free back around ’61. They’d have pissed off Cuba and got themselves invaded. The cuisine would have suffered, but in the long run they’d have been better off.

      She pauses to get a clear sight on her long bow, drawn, from the roof of the hospital, aiming down the river valleys, the geography of her body, rivers of blood flow in her veins. Lets arrow fly, lead tipped, feather and bone, bamboo shaft still true.
      On Veinticinco de Mayo, in a silver coloured place, after the marrow had been sucked, before the war, during the seige, a dog headed human breast fed the welp, a humanoid baby still, in appearance at least.
      But there is still something ticking over there, the flip phone stealth, riotous tv to cover the sounds of life crying for itself.
      And the aim is true, cuts the air like a knife beside a dewy matte laden cheek, right through the papers that don’t exist, through the phone that proves one way or another, and up into the labrynth of the hive mind, piercing newly plumped buttocks, another head, this time a pig human hybrid, tangoing as espresso wafts up ftom a gutter.

      Still the arrow flies, now straight through the heart of the beast.

      Those who stay in the Lord have nothing to fear, but those who deny what comes from him do

      Fortunate those that stop to meditate. Fortunate those that are lead by the Mother. Glory be to the Eternal one.

      And Luz De Maria du Bonilla, from whence does she hail?

          Rulo, your writing and the graffiti took me to a very cool place, a sci fi become reality at the end of the world. I was going for Borges, veered off into , and my lawn is carpeted with those mush in spring and fall. Have never tried them but have dried a few.
          That was quite the dive! Keep sharing plse & thnx.

          Do you feel you were born for this time? That everything culminates here, all your experience, angst, ideas & beliefs.

          I have been the loon in my family since day 1. Now they’re jabbed or dead, and the jabbed seem to have entered that ‘forced delusion’ some seers speak of. It’s awful to see realized.

      Rulo,

      Thank you so much for the time and care you put into that extensive travel-culture essay. Most enjoyable.

      Your mother sounds like a remarkable woman. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

      The Independence Day monument is inspiring!

      I really enjoyed your presentation of actual experiences mixed with Argentina’s history, with a further admixture of vivid dialogue from those you met or know.

      I wish Juan Filloy was still alive to detail Covid World in an epic novel. His take, I’m sure, would be both lacerating and heartbreaking.

      • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 7:32 pm #

        Thank you, Soul. I remember you are a fan of Filloy – he’s still on my “to read” list and I will get to him, but my mother was a fan of his too, back when she could still read. I really need to check out his work.

    • Paula D October 25, 2021 at 4:07 pm #

      That was a beautiful piece of writing and the photos are also interesting.
      It amazes me how similar the propaganda and the swallowing of same, is in the US, Canada, Europe and now I see, Buenos Aires. They are all following the same script.
      Coincidence? Incompetence? I think not.
      Thank you for sharing.

      • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 7:35 pm #

        Thanks, Paula. Yes, it’s one big stage now, isn’t it? It’s a play, every place has a role to play, and cannot stray from that role. We’re all actors following a script. Who writes the script?

    • BackRowHeckler October 25, 2021 at 5:02 pm #

      Heartfelt and beautifully written, Rulo. We have Argentinian friends made the Spanish Society we belong to (more or less a social club) and I certainly intend to bring this to their attention.

      • Rulo Deschamps October 25, 2021 at 7:43 pm #

        Thank you, Heckler. I remember you have a Spanish wife. Man, that’s one cute accent they have over there. What part of Spain? The Spanish side of my family were grandma from Castilla, grandpa from Galicia. I’m glad I could visit those places back when travel was easy. Getting on a plane and going to another country has gotten very, very tricky, esp without the shots.

        I understand why Argies, and really any other Spanish speakers would join a club where our language is spoken. I miss speaking my native language terribly. In South FL, of course I could interact with Hispanics often – North FL is a different story. I read, but it’s not the same. My wife has accomplished much towards mastering the language, but she’s not there yet, not really fluent, so after a while it gets frustrating and I switch back to English.

        This same longing for a few words with another native Spanish speaker happened to me ages ago in Israel, when I was a volunteer in a kibbutz there. A guy from Madrid showed up one day. I became friends with him even though he was a trainwreck, a heroin addict trying to kick the habit, and constantly drinking, getting in fights – I just wanted to speak Spanish after a long time without.

        Do you speak Spanish yourself?

    • Islander October 26, 2021 at 12:08 am #

      Rulo, I read your blog post on your trip back to Buenos Aires.

      Really enjoyed it. So much there.

      Some long quotes were by people unidnetified. Maybe family members?

      Your description of the constant reliance on “devices” is disheartening.
      I have a feeling I will never travel again!

      At least your friend slipped the noose a few times by using his flip phone instead of the “allegedly smart phone.”

      Loved the photos of the old, elegant architecture.

      Yes, not your US back yard.

      I hope your mother has good caregivers. Is it possible for them to arrange Zoom visits?

      I guess you have an avocado grove in Florida. I look forward to future posts, if you provide a link here.

      • Rulo Deschamps October 27, 2021 at 5:15 pm #

        Islander, glad you enjoyed it. The long quotes are from friends, acquaintances. Zoom visits: no, technology stresses out my mother – and me too. But I talk to her on the phone every day. Always the same conversation: the birds, the weather, the view from her window.

  12. JohnAZ October 25, 2021 at 10:30 am #

    Yes, yes and yes.

    The interest rising each year is clobbering the image of a budget for the government.

    Every missing dollar on the expenditures side is “borrowed from the Fed”. IOW, another dollar is printed with no backing from anything.

    Borrowing means that someday it will be repaid. Does anyone in their right mind believe a single dollar of the debt will ever be repaid?

    So who are the creditors who are getting screwed? ID them and you will find the vanguard of the descent into oblivion.

    My guess has always been, the older Boomers when they really start drawing on their retirements.

    • JohnAZ October 25, 2021 at 10:36 am #

      For Hardrock

      FYI

      The greatest threat right now is the Feds response to Biden’s idiotic spending spree. If we start, already happening, to inflate everything, ie start printing a majority of our “revenue”, the only tool the Fed has is to raise interest rates. They do? The federal government goes belly up.

      Could be some ignorant economist has convinced the PTB that we can inflate our way out of $28 trillion in debt. Hahahahahaha.

      “Does anyone in their right mind believe a single dollar of the debt will ever be repaid?” Technically portions of this debt are repaid every time a piece of debt paper (Treasury bonds, notes, etc.) matures and is paid off. Unfortunately this “pay off” is always following by the issuance of ever larger amounts of more paper that will mature at some time and will need “paying off.”
      None in his right mind believes that the US national debt will ever go to zero. At best this debt will at some point become irrelevant.

      • JohnAZ October 25, 2021 at 1:51 pm #

        To become irrelevant, it’s creditors must agree.

        I believe in the Jewish community, debts are reset to zero every seven years, a Mosaic law.

        Since all money in the US is created by debt, backed by the Fed and ultimately, the full faith and credit of the government, wiping out the debt would wipe out the money supply.
        It hasn’t been done since Andrew Jackson, and doing it then plunged the US into a 20 year depression, as I recall.
        Ain’t nobody wants that.
        Only switching to a non-debt-based monetary system could possibly fix the paying-off-the-debt problem, but then you’d still have the depletion of resources problem to deal with.
        I think our ruling overlords have their own plan, which they call the Great Reset.
        I don’t think we’re going to like that either.

    Ah, San Francisco. On my last visit there, in 2016, I recalled the appetizers were priced like entrees and the homeless, prone on the sidewalk, were so thick in some places it was like a game of hopscotch. For color, here’s an excerpt from my journal from that trip:

    “This city has mental illness to spare, no doubt about that. And desperation. This morning as I waited for my bus I witnessed another first as a rather grimy, deheveled dude got off the bus, nuzzled up to the nearest garbage can, grunted and proceeded to empty his bladder. Right there near Union Square, in the busiest part of the city. Signs and wonders.”

    I can’t imagine how bad things are there now, gripped with the Rona and Woke viruses. I’m glad I live on the opposite coast. It might be just far enough away.

    Much thanks to you, James, for yet another excellent article. Happy Monday and good morning to all.

    I think it’s apparent that the clown show administration (let’s not forget Cacklin’ Kamala, who they seem to be trying to hide from the public), consisting of Wokie freaks and grifters, is doing itself in. It would be tragic if we had to go down with it.

    But, do we?

    As James and others have predicted, I am seeing news of emerging communities and technologies outside of Big Corporate, Silicon Valley’s & Big Pharma’s clutches. And I am seeing naturopathy make a come-back, putting people more in direct control of their own health. I am seeing an alternative school of thought to the mainstream establishment’s ‘fear everything and if you’re good we’ll keep you safe’ bullshit. You can only keep people afraid for so long.

    I’m seeing people creating alternatives to getting their kids educated, outside our current government-run crappy system. I’ve just seen an article about ranchers creating new small local meat processing plants. There’s a real trend toward local and community based ways of doing commerce.

    Every bizarre stance the Jo Jo McGhoul & Co. administration takes is a tyrannical one, and none of it has anything to do with health or safety. Throwing people out of their jobs for refusing an experimental ‘therapy’ is not pro-health, it’s an assault. Holding up ships from delivering goods we need is not for our health or safety. It’s deliberate punishment.

    It should be apparent with that beyond-cynical selection of Rachel Levine to such a position of prominence, making him the new face of ‘healthcare.’ What an utter joke! But maybe appropriate as a Big Pharma WEF puppet.

    They have created a big ridiculous farce, and dare us to call their bluff. The Big Shit Show Circus will continue as long as people pretend it’s serious. I can’t imagine that will last for much longer before the tent collapses.

      Thankyou, Mary, for your optimism. Indeed, there are reasons to hope. I just can’t see how they can keep this China flu game going forever – especially with even the lefties turning on Fauci. And one of the few good things about this insanity is that it has forced us to have a good long look at who we are and where we are going. Ironically, we may be building back better – but in a way that will infuriate Herr Schwab and Co. God bless for another ahead on the crazy roller coaster of life!

      I see ads for freeze dried pulverized fruits and vegetables being put in capsules and being sold as healthy alternatives to proper diets.

      I see ads for a pain reliever with many celebs hawking them, see Larry Elder, that will eliminate all sorts of pain in three weeks. Not a mention of what the miracle is comprised of.

      I see big Pharma hawking pills that have such horrific side effects that they should all be banned. One to five percent of bad side effects during trials do not seem to matter.

      I will tell you what today is, the resurrection of the snake oil salesman. The promise of the cure for everything.

      Into a public that has been stupidified beyond belief. Well, as evidenced now, no longer beyond belief.

    About the businesses getting robbed blind. There are a number of theories.

    One is that Amazon pushed for the legislation to remove its competition.

    Another is that even drugstores have been going the way of no physical stores, you order ahead an pick it up yourself, or have it shipped.

    Yet another theory- stores that pull out of high-crime areas get criticized for being racist.

    So, after a period of time of astounding losses, even your SJW types have to concede that these places have no choice but to quit serving the urban population.

      Eventually to be replaced by an automated Amazon store that will require a QR code with minimum jab, social credit, and CBDC levels for entry.

      • tresho October 25, 2021 at 12:24 pm #

        “Anyone that tries to force their way in” Self-service stores are a recent invention. “Store” used to refer only to a warehouse where goods were “stored” pending distribution to buyers. There would be a hatch or window where a buyer would make a request, the seller’s agent would retrieve the item from the “store” of items and collect the price. Buyers never got to wander through the “store” until fairly recently. I suspect this will start up again when self-service stores go out of existence, as they must where property rights are ignored. At that point buyers will have to run the gauntlet of street robbers as they try to get home with their purchases.

        • Islander October 26, 2021 at 12:48 am #

          I well remember the old First National, on Main Street.

          It was a narrow store but high, with a wooden counter between the customers and the employees. You told the lady what you wanted, and she fetched it for you. All the boxes, such as cereal, were on the hgih shelves. She had a long tool with a grabber on the end with which she dislodged the box of Kix, or Bisquick, or Wheatena, and dexterously caught it when it tumbled down from a high shelf.

          Your purchases were lined up on the counter to be rung up on the old cash register. You put them in your own bag.

          I dimly recall the transition to supermarkets where you wandered around and chose your own items, even produce. I don’t think Americans will happily give up the I-pick model. But who knows?

      Those rights effectively ceased to exist with the advent of the income tax, at which point the federal government asserted a claim to be informed of every monetary transaction of every person. If you buy a stick of gum at Quick Trip, it generates “papers.” Quick Trip has to report it. When your employer pays you, the federal government must be informed.

    We had a nice period of time where we got used to the concept of “old-school punishment” for wayward leaders being “outdated and barbaric”.

    Perhaps the stockades need a good dusting off.

    The question is who will claim the authority to roll them out? And what will they do to gain public support for those actions?

    Personally, I’d stop short of the gallows, though people used to be hung out to dry for much less than these incompetent, ill-intentioned jackasses. And you know what? It stopped other aspiring jackasses from acting that way…for a while, at least. And then a dust-off would take place again.

    I could settle for a good old-fashioned televised pillorying, and perhaps a rail to ride out on, covered in feathers. Then jail. Real jail.

      I like Blackbird’s “Elites Zoo” idea. I think it’s called something else, but you get the idea.

      Sort of a Big Brother reality show setup, where we can watch the elites interact with each other as they go about their days in a viewable cage.

      Think of the ensuing hilarity!

      • Blackbird October 25, 2021 at 1:17 pm #

        I called it the Dictator Zoo when it was smaller and more focused. I don’t know what to call the logically much-expanded version. “Plutocrat Zoo” just doesn’t have that – whaddyacallit…

        I know that if the opportunity ever arose (it won’t) it would be difficult to restrain ourselves from drawing and quartering, impaling, and hanging from lampposts the evildoers to whom we have sold our lives for a can of (expired) beans. But imagine the fun – and educational value – of putting these shitbirds in cages, impoverished and under constant surveillance, and allow them to live a normal life with their fellow miscreants – washing dishes, doing laundry, etc. Taking your grandkids to the nearest Dictator House and watching the joy on their faces as they add more pickle juice to the jar containing babbling 175 year-old Billy Gates head. That’s a future I can get behind.

          Prior to the record companys advance he had been a handy dart driver for the disabled which is how I knew him.

          His family came over for the funeral in my RC church.

    Everything we see today is all part of someone’s agenda. From Agenda 2021 to the Great Reset, all part of the same program, conspiracy, agenda, whatever. It’s not enough the great banking families own everything, everyone else must own less then nothing. First fiat currency, then credit cards, next no cash at all. Anyone who is in debt owns less then nothing. Even when your house is paid in full, try not paying your property tax to let you know who really owns your house. Fourth Turning anyone. I believe we are at the point where it is way too late to drain the swamp. It’s time to flush the toilet, and when it plugs, then we all get to become plumbers. Afterwards, I’m hoping for a “Great Enlightenment” or even a “World Made By Hand”, but looking around today, I’m leaning towards a “Mad Max” or even “The Mongol Hordes” type scenario. We are definitely living in interesting times..

      The US will be just many different economic and ethnic group fighting each other for what will be left of the spoils.

      Sorta like the family sitting around the lawyers table waiting to get the will read.

      Then finding out that the guy spent all of his money and they were responsible for the accrued debt he left.

      “Even when your house is paid in full, try not paying your property tax to let you know who really owns your house. ” In the 1930s many counties in the USA had property taxes due that landowners simply could not pay. Instead of foreclosing on what would have been the bulk of property in the entire county (which would not have solved the county’s need for revenue) some counties issued “scrip” — basically their own version of paper money — a guarantee that the scrip would eventually be redeemed in cash for the face value. The scrip was used to pay county employees, the electric company, and other items the county had to pay someone for. AFAICT the scrip was paid off eventually when revenues resumed.
      The book “The Worst Hard Times” tells a story of a school teacher in the Dust Bowl who taught public school students for nothing, for years, in order to keep her school system functioning. She was never reimbursed. Fortunately she had an extended family that kept her housed and fed. In her old age she was highly honored for her sacrifice.
      Those were different times.

    ‘…already a rotten system ever more incapable of turning out citizens who can…write a coherent sentence….”

    And it appears in the U.S., and many places abroad, ever more incapable of a coherent thought.

    I was in a hospital waiting room today. Masks were worn, and temperature checks at the door, OK, no surprise. But there also was a woman holding a spray bottle and a rag. As each person vacated a seat in the waiting room – this woman sprayed down and cleaned the whole seat.

    Again. And again. This is the voodoo the medical business is showing its customers: ritualistic, irrational washing of leather seats and plastic arm rests. Actions with no scientific basis. Do the doctors running the hospital believe this? Or, would it be worse if they know it is senseless, but find it desirable to wave such shamanistic feathers of futility at their customers?

    • tresho October 25, 2021 at 12:40 pm #

      “Do the doctors running the hospital believe this? ” There’s no business like show business, and you have to keep the customers satisfied. Those medical degrees and government-issued licenses to practice medicine and nursing are also based on beliefs. A physician who showed up for work dressed as a shaman of the 3000 BC era would be kicked off the premises of any modern hospital.

        My uncle was a genuine “armorer” whose job was making sure the ammo and other munitions on fighter planes were fully stocked and operational as intended. He saw his buddies shot dead and blown to pieces due to enemy action. He told me many stories about his war experiences over the years. His willingness to tell his stories may explain his lack of PTSD for the rest of his life. The only reaction of anguish I ever saw on his face was during a story when he was at the controls of a parked fighter plane on his airbase’s firing range. The planes were regularly wheeled out, propped up, aimed at distant targets, and the armorers fired the guns to make sure they worked properly. He was distracted for a moment, and then fired the planes wing machine guns without checking that they were clear of unwanted obstructions. One of his assistants was standing a foot or so away from the muzzle blasts. It was uncle’s job to make sure this didn’t happen, and he had failed in his duty. I could read uncle’s distress on his face. The assistant probably had tinnitus and some loss of hearing afterward, other than that, no harm was done. Uncle finished the war with 3 chevrons and 2 rockers on his sleeve. He had served long enough that he should have had 3 chevrons and rockers on his sleeve, but he had once mis-counted the bullets he had loaded on his plane and was denied that promotion. Someone went after him and counted his work.

          tresho, thanks for that. I’ve read that most WW2 vets would not talk about their experiences. It’s interesting that in your uncle’s case that’s not true, and in fact, sharing the stories was a sort of catharsis, beneficial to mental health.

          My grandpa would freely tell us young uns his war stories, some of them quite harsh, and he was a happy and well adjusted person, too.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 8:27 pm #

            What I’ve found about vets – Vietnam and later – is that the more they did, the less they talk about it. And when they do talk, it’s more likely to be about hilarious clusterfuckery or heart-warming camaraderie than Ramboesque tales of the heroics of war.

I did a google search for “naid sand fly experiments” and got quite a few hits. You know what sites didn’t show up in that search? ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, NYT, etc. I’m not surprised in the least. If it’s not there, the loony neolibs can pretend it never happened, and if you try to show them an article from another source they can point and screech “fake news!” like the brain-dead zombies they are.

          I also don’t think there are any viruses causing pandemics.

          I’ve done a lot of research on terrain theory and it’s more likely (in all the cases) that there was some other pathogen/poison released on populations, and/or new technology that makes people sick.

          It’s a valid theory and of course that was THE theory up until the new age ‘science’ controlled by big pharma and the healthcare industrial complex cornered the market. They couldn’t have us curing ourselves by being healthy and resisting getting ill, could they?

      Liz: UK Daily Mail, a conservative rag, but still the best selling popular newspaper in the country, is running a headline about an Aussie actress fighting for her life after taking the AZ jab. Of course, they have to include the “extremely rare” blood clot that is attacking her, but it’s great they are at least covering this. And the comments are 90% “extremely rare? Right!” responses. And idiot BoJo has just said we can’t have our Xmases if we don’t get the third jab. Sometimes I think these people are just stupid after all.

      This was nothing surprising to me as I used to work for an animal rights organization. Some of our campaigns were on animals used for lab testing. It’s horrifying.

      • Blackbird October 25, 2021 at 1:40 pm #

        No surprise here either as I used to work in an animal testing lab for an evil monolithic transnational chemical company. We had muted beagles too. Although I left 26 years ago I’m sure they still have muted beagles – as well as muted employees.

        • Jarek October 25, 2021 at 2:06 pm #

          Remember the famous article written by the lab tech? The next morning he was going to go in and break the dog’s leg – for the third or forth time? And how the dog was always happy to see him since he was the dog’s only “friend”. He knew it would greet him with a wagging tail the next morning.

          Was it a beagle? I’ve never heard if the guy quit or went thru with it.

          • abbybwood October 25, 2021 at 2:18 pm #

            They use beagles because they are so sweet.

          • Blackbird October 25, 2021 at 2:29 pm #

            Never read it. That’s what I count on you for.

            Probably a beagle. For some reason that breed seems to be specially selected – probably even bred – for research, like F344 and Sprague-Dawley rats.

            One of my (self-assigned) roles in the lab was as rat comforter. They knew me and trusted me. After all I was the guy who came by regularly to collect their blood, bile, piss, and shit.
            They’d climb up my sleeve, sit on my shoulder, tickle my ear. I’d hold them lightly, rub the base of their skull, and gently tilt their head back. Our fancy PhDs tended to cause the rats anxiety which made it difficult to force the tube of radio-labeled herbicide down their throats.

          • Alzaebo October 25, 2021 at 6:50 pm #

            I had heard that they used ball peen hammers, hitting their legs up to 200 times. “Researching painkillers” on debarked beagles.

            It was that lab and ones like it is why PETA was formed. The pharma and Big Vaccine rackets are run by demons.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 8:31 pm #

            Abby is correct. They use beagles because of their sweetness.

            Why people don’t understand that the people working in these labs are sociopaths or psychopaths is beyond me.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 8:32 pm #

            I volunteered with a nonprofit called Animal Rescue Corps for awhile, and they would bust up puppy mills and rescue the dogs, but they also once freed monkeys and beagles from a lab that was going to put them all down. Macaques and beagles. That was quite something.

          • Blackbird October 26, 2021 at 11:33 am #

            So Mary, am I a sociopath or psychopath? (I know the answer, I’m just checking your diagnostic skills.)

            Since I haven’t led naive young lab rats to a calm and peaceful death since May of ’95, can I claim to be “in recovery”?

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 26, 2021 at 5:09 pm #

            @Blackbird, I haven’t seen any psychotic behavior from you, no. You also have not said what you thought about those animals being tortured, whether it bothered you, or didn’t, or you actually liked it.

          • Blackbird October 27, 2021 at 11:17 am #

            Mary,

            Were the rats (and occasional rabbits) I worked with actually “tortured”? I would have to say “no”. Generally I conducted surgery on them – jugular vein or bile duct cannulations, under anesthesia. We fed them radio-labeled compounds (C14) to see where the substance of interest (generally pesticides) went – whether it lodged in organs or was excreted, and also sometimes to determine how test compounds were altered by metabolism. “Torture”, or any kind of severe discomfort would alter their behavior and metabolism and create an uncontrollable variable.

            Their life as study animals was certainly not worse, and I’d say substantially better, than those chickens, pigs, and cattle on CAFOs being raised for our dining pleasure. Of course at the end of the study, the animals were “sacrificed” (poor choice of euphemisms), dismantled, their organs homogenized and analyzed for C14 concentration. Pretty much the same thing happens in a slaughterhouse, but with less precision, more mess, and more trauma for the animal.

            F344 and Sprague-Dawley rats (and other breeds of other animals) are bred specifically for use as lab animals, just as other breeds of animals are bred for food, or work, or to be “pets”. Their life has one purpose. The lab rat’s eating, drinking, pooping, and pissing appeared to be unaffected by their surgery or their confinement.

            Of course the question could be asked, “Do we really need new and better pesticides?” I know that a lot of people who would answer “no” to that question hire lawn care companies to make their lot look pretty, kill ants that invade the house with anydamnthing that’ll kill ’em, spray stuff on their bodies so other forces of nature will not inconvenience them…

            Learning to do surgery – great experience. Discovering the pathways through which compounds are metabolized, stored or excreted was fascinating. Knowing that the rat sitting on my shoulder, tickling my ear was born to be killed – well, I don’t see anyone crying over those chickens coated with eleven herbs and spices. I know I did all I could to make that rat’s surgery as painless and error-free as possible, and it’s short life as comfortable as possible.

            And the answer: I’d have to say a definite inclination toward sociopathology (estranged from society) rather than psychopathology (estranged from one’s self). But I’m still saner than anyone else around here – and then some. Just sayin’.

            “the dog was always happy to see him”

            Ack! That brought back a real bad memory I have, about these Asians that farm dog pelts. They showed this guy beat a dog on its head, then proceed to skin it alive. And then they showed what was left of the dog’s head, as it blinked and looked left-to-right, while still alive… Most horrifying thing I ever saw. Cruelty abounds in this world, yet most of it is delegated off onto the peasant class to ‘perform’ (and sure, some do enjoy it)…

            David Pakman (Argentinian American):

            “Texas Senator Ted Cruz has been called out brutally by Michael Gunner, the Chief Minister for the Northern Territory of Australia. Cruz did his best to criticize vaccine mandates in northern Australia with public-facing workers being subject to a $5,000 fine if they don’t get at least their first shot by November 13th.

            The Texas senator posted to Twitter, “I love the Aussies. Their history of rugged independence is legendary; I’ve always said Australia is the Texas of the Pacific. The Covid tyranny of their current government is disgraceful & sad. Individual liberty matters. I stand with the people of #Australia.”

            This promoted Michael Gunner to respond to Cruz in a statement that read in part, “hey @tedcruz . . . nearly 70,000 Texans have tragically died from COVID. There have been zero deaths in the Territory. Did you know that? . . . We have been in lock down for just eight days in 18 months. Our businesses and schools are all open. Did you know that? We don’t need your lectures, thanks mate. You know nothing about us.”

            This was a brutal smackdown of Ted Cruz from an unlikely source, one that may leave Cruz booking a trip to Cancun so he can try to recover from it.</i"

            No, in fact, I don’t support mandatory vaccinations, not for this or anything else. It’s your choice, but there are consequences. For example, I have been REQUIRED to have certain vaccinations (e.g. yellow fever before visiting Brazil) because that’s a government’s right to demand or require for entry. If I refuse that requirement, I don’t get a visa – action –> consequence, but you already know that.

            And, laughably, the “women’s bodily sovereignty” argument from the likes of you is a huge red herring.

            R.L. You are comparing
            1) getting a vaccination in order to obtain a visa to visit a foreign country… to
            2) getting a vaccine passport allowing me to leave my house and travel around town, maybe to a grocery store.

            Only a demented totalitarian would think they are the same thing. Only someone who embraces the deep state Orwellian dystopia would disrespect human rights as you do with such satanic relish.

            Also the vaccines for tropical diseases are neither gene altering nor labelled experimental. They are time tested, not warp speed.

            Insolently dismissing a point is not the same as refuting it, I refer to your statement; “And, laughably, the “women’s bodily sovereignty” argument from the likes of you is a huge red herring.”

            You also didn’t address the draconian lockdowns in Melbourne and Sydney.

            You are not a skilled debater; you are a flippant troll, the master of the drive by trolling. And considering your hatred for human freedom, you are deeply on the dark side. May you get all you deserve.

    Part of Jerm Warfare’s rundown (he’s very worth following, IMHO):

    “As investigator Whitney Webb recently noted, Covid propaganda is beginning to pivot towards climate change propaganda (which I’ll get to in another War Report).

    It’s not by accident.

    Various “movers and shakers”, such as the World Economic Forum and United Nations, are the controlling hand of the pivot.

    The last 18 months has been a deliberate totalitarian campaign of

    – demoralisation (masks, social distancing, isolation, curfews);

    – destabilisation (lockdowns, mass joblessness, non-stop PCR tests with misleading results, endless vaccines, vaccine mandates, segregation);

    – crisis (“deadly pandemic” via nonstop propaganda, requiring the governments to save us);

    – normalisation (fear of healthy people, loyalty to the state, blind trust of corporate media, mass censorship of dissenting views).

    The above (bold) bullet points come from former KGB operative, Yuri Bezmenov, who – during the 1980s – outlined how subversion has been used as a successful tool of propaganda throughout history, and how it’s used even more successfully in Western countries because the general populations are unsuspecting.”

            1) that data was from the 2nd month of vaccine roll-outs (Jan/Feb 2021) and

            2) that data has to be read with some level of nuance to actually understand it.

    • JohnAZ October 25, 2021 at 1:18 pm #

      Yeah, I hear you.

      Add on many more tropical diseases that are now a threat.

      Here is a huge question.

      What do these capstone (thank you OG) people really want?

      Like Castro, the revolutionary who took after all of Latin America after he had Cuba, what will they want after they conquer the world? Are they going to try to take over other planets? Is Mars next?

        Most diseases (real ones, not made up like covid19) are parasitic or bacterial, not viral.

      Ha. Stand by for heavy rolls, Mary. TLE is a life changer as it is a sane explanation of what will happen when the world runs short of resources.

      After he blows you away with the facts of economic life circa 2005, suggest Too much Magic, a 2011 update. His prophetic accuracy is amazing.

      Life in the Long Emergency.is a little different, using narrative story telling from interviews to show the impact on certain folks. Thwack was one.

  32. docmartin October 25, 2021 at 12:55 pm #

    The PTB never thought the internet would bite them in the ass. The last event they got away with was 911. With COVID, those bubble dwellers still thought they controlled the narrative 100%. Trump deserves all the credit for busting that monopoly and waking up those who still believed the “ official narrative “ just in the Nick of time.

    • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 1:12 pm #

      If Trump threw a wrench in any of this, then good on him. I didn’t see much of that. I do recall his seemingly genuine look of surprise when Pompeo said this is a ‘live exercise’ and Trump responded, under his breath, “well you should have told us that.”

      • Beryl of Oyl October 25, 2021 at 1:17 pm #

        Pompeo, given his background, would have been well aware of the importance of checking out the background of someone like Dr. Fauci, and could not plead ignorance of how to go about it.

        Yet that guy stayed on that task force.

        • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 1:33 pm #

          Well Pompeo is a WEP puppet psycho too, no doubt. To get up and admit that we were in a live exercise? And everyone ignored it?

          He admitted Covid19 is a LIVE EXERCISE.

          Of course he’s in on it.

      • Blackbird October 25, 2021 at 1:50 pm #

        Whispered, “Well you should have told us that.” That’s how Trump handled the Plandemic. Yup, he’s on our side, I really believe that…

        • MaryQueen October 25, 2021 at 1:55 pm #

    • O.G. Hawkins October 25, 2021 at 1:37 pm #

      The last event they got away with was 911.

      To name a few:

      Housing Bubble & Hank Paulson – 2008
      Boston Marathon – 2013
      Nashville Election Evidence of Fraud Bombing – 2020
      Jan. VI – 2021

      You need get out less.

      —–

      Do not assume TPTB have any flaws. They have thought of everything.

      They knew this would happen. They knew that they could leave the internet quasi-free to divide & conquer plus have a handy-dandy database of who thinks what.

    • Night Owl October 25, 2021 at 1:43 pm #

      They had a trial run with the Swine Flu.

      The difference this time is that they captured more institutions, so most of the people in most of the places that could have stopped them were neutralized.

    • MaryQueen October 25, 2021 at 1:56 pm #

    ZH has compiled an interesting report today on one Ray Epps, of Jan 6 insurrection interest, who at one point was on the FBI’s list of most wanted insurrectionists, who was uncovered by the zealous pursuit of anti-Trumpers, and who, mysteriously, is not rotting in the DC jail.

    Oh, the shock! The surprise! Could there have been an agent provocateur among the Q-brainwashed hordes that day?

    No conspiracy here, I am sure. Just good old-fashioned incompetence working its magic.

  36. JohnAZ October 25, 2021 at 1:32 pm #

    I have been bitching for awhile about the lack of data and information on the crud.

    Why do the surges occur, why are they periodic, they seem to show up every six months. Why does the south go first, then the north follow?

    How does Covid compare to the flu, or even the common cold?

    AND, a new thought, why do we not have the crud with us all the time, level loaded? What makes surges go away, where do the lulls come from?

    The CDC and NIH have shown nothing!!!

    A report from Germany has shown more information on what is going on with the immune system’s reaction to the vaccine, than our own multi billion dollar.health groups. We need that report broken down and explained. The idea of moving living nano particles sounds like a candidate for The Twilight Zone. Typical situation, release information that is unexplained and scary. I would say that the fear factor is being released from all sides.

    What are those strands and the complexes they saw?

    • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 1:34 pm #

      They muddied the waters on purpose. Because they have no virus, they only have a fear campaign, and every time it starts falling apart, they need to come up with another tactic.

      • O.G. Hawkins October 25, 2021 at 1:45 pm #

        It appears to you that they keep coming up with another tactic but, Really, this is all game-planned.

        They know what they’re doing.

      • Night Owl October 25, 2021 at 1:46 pm #

        Has anyone isolated the virus yet?

        You would think it would be rather easy to take an infected person or 1000, and get a sample.

        You would also think they would have done this before they inveted the PCR test to find it.

        The bullshit is so easy to call out, that it isn’t even fun anymore.

        • Blackbird October 25, 2021 at 1:58 pm #

          How do you create a PCR test for a virus that has not been isolated? Well, you start with an uncredentialed genius like Drosten… And you end there too.

          • Night Owl October 26, 2021 at 3:00 am #

            Drosten is more or less Germany’s Fauci. Another individual with questionable credentials (a fake doctorate for Drosten) put into a position of power by the criminals to guide health policy as they transition the country toward the Reset.

        • MaryQueen October 25, 2021 at 2:00 pm #

          Exactly. Get some volunteers. Get the ‘virus’ off of one and put it in a few. If they don’t get sick we know it’s bollox.

          Tom Cowan did a good explanation of this.

          • JohnAZ October 25, 2021 at 2:17 pm #

            There have been a few superspreader wedding and family get together that the PTB have utilized to tighten down, have you seen them explained by anyone? No?

            Surprise!!!

          • JohnAZ October 25, 2021 at 2:36 pm #

            Mary, remember how Walter Reed proved mosquitos carried Yellow Fever, which made Covid puny.

            He put a group of volunteers into a screened in environment to avoid the mosquitos and another group went about their business as normal

            Needless to say, the results were striking and proved his point.

            Two groups, one with proven Covid carriers and one without.

            Need a proven test procedure to catch anyone, tested daily on both sides. PCR not good enough, do blood counts or nasal smears.

            This should have been done in March of 2020.

            But I guess that would have bitten Fauci, et al in the butt.

            Then, the same test with vaxxed and unvaxxed, a four way experiment.

            That would’ve removed the doubt. It would have removed some of the fear factor, the risk aversion.

            Not with Biden in there.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 9:20 pm #

            But JAZ, an infection from a mosquito is not a virus. So you’re comparing apples and oranges.

            Tom Cowan reviews the many many times that viruses have proven not to be contagious. At all.

            He’s not alone.

            There’s a reason there is no successful vaccine for a virus.

        • JohnAZ October 25, 2021 at 2:04 pm #

          You are right.

          Here is another one.

          The mRNA in the jab makes body cell ribosomes that create copies of the s protein on the virus.

          Where the heck did the molecular model come from to design the mRNA and the protein itself?

          They? Really need to find out what all those things are in the German autopsy.

        • JohnAZ October 25, 2021 at 2:26 pm #

          Okay, Night Owl and Mary.

          No isolated virus. I actually do not understand what this mean. Does it mean that the virus does not exist? I have seen many pictures of the virus in situ, Google it, they are ubiquitous.

          Does not being isolated mean they have not been able to culture it, to grow it outside of a host. Not surprising since virus reproduction can only occur inside of a living host cell.

          Have they been able to isolate and culture any other viruses. By this logic, any virus not isolated must not exist, right?

          I wonder what other explanation their is to explain all these sick, some really sick people of things other than respiratory problems, like blood clots, or heart problems, or kidney failure? I am talking about the disease, not the vaxx.

            John…………..

            Its been in the cattle industry for ever………..

            When reports of the COVID-19 pandemic first hit the US, very few people had likely heard of coronaviruses—with some notable exceptions: “”cattle producers and their veterinarians””.

            It’s not that people involved with cattle health have any particular insight into the increasing human toll the novel coronavirus is inflicting. Rather, it’s a reflection that generations of cattle producers have recognized coronavirus as a significant cause of diarrhea in their young calves.

            A year ago, I was in the hospital for a drug screen…..

            the girl doing the screening was a farm girl from western NY.

            her thoughts on all this shit……….

            We’ve been inoculating cows for this since the 60’s.

            yep, we have.

          • WilbursHuman October 25, 2021 at 2:53 pm #

            from the article John………..

            “”There are many different versions of human and animal coronaviruses throughout the world. Many animal caretakers have probably dealt with coronavirus infections for years without realizing it. Swine producers and their vets have fought Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) Virus and (historically) Transmissible Gastroenteritis (TGE) Virus. Companion animal veterinarians recognize Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) Virus as a cause of illness in cats – all coronaviruses.

            Considering the above list, it should be apparent that the vast majority of these coronaviruses stick to their own species. No human or cross-species illnesses have resulted from bovine coronaviruses, PED, TGE, or FIP. “”

          • Night Owl October 25, 2021 at 6:18 pm #

            It means it has yet to be shown that it exists. The PCR test was created with a computer model.

            You don’t understand what this means?

            LOL.

          • Paula D October 25, 2021 at 6:32 pm #

            I think they have isolated the virus and mapped out its genome.
            That is how we know that they took a bat virus and added the furin cleavage site. I think that is the part that makes this covid virus attack humans and not bats.
            Honest virologists have said that there is no natural process by which a bat virus would evolve to attach itself to human ACE receptors.
            Therefore it had to have been done in a lab.
            They even have shown the part of the Delta virus that is different from the original virus they released in late 2019. (Unless it escaped from Ft Dietrich in July 2019, which is also possible. Then the US took it to Wuhan in the Military Games held in Nov. 2019. Four US service members were hospitalized in Wuhan with an unknown flu at that time).
            As usual when they release a psy ops, they surround it with a body of lies.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 9:21 pm #

            Paula, they have not isolated the virus. Not according to the same rules as any other pathogen. They are lying.

            It has not been isolated, according to Koch’s postulates.

          • Night Owl October 26, 2021 at 2:54 am #

            “Have they been able to isolate and culture any other viruses. By this logic, any virus not isolated must not exist, right?”

            ——————————————————————————

            That is not logic, John.

            Logic is asking why a “virus” that has required us to give up freedoms and perform bizarre health rituals with no root in basic science has not been isolated when supposedly hundreds of thousands of people have had it.

            Why can’t anyone get a sample?

            Why is the only test used to “detect” the virus not capable of detecting a virus and based on a computer model of the “virus.”

            I notice that whenever I ask these basic questions, you never answer, but later reappear asking the same questions.

            LOL.

    Jim, I think it might be a good idea if you pulled back to publishing once a week. Your need for temporal outrage material is causing you to lose focus away from the perspective you advanced 15 years ago.

    I mean, in the big picture, fauci, covid, the Vax and a host of other issues are just small bumps in the road.

    We’re flying back in a few hours. Just imagine the resources necessary to maintain the illusion that this is a normal, never varying routine?

    El joven, unlike in rollos ba, are living their lives as all young people do. The future is a long ways off, so today is for living.

    On that note, the high end shopping area was bonkers. People lined up 3 deep snatching at any luxury good they could get their hands on.

    Tons of security. Mostly cdmx police, but also private forces. Saw my first uzi toting cop since the good old pre cv days in paris and Rome.

    Seriously people, forget the bs and observe the insane false illusion that this is all perfectly normal.

          That is more or less what I (and others) have been saying the entire time.

          What do you thing Build Back Better is? The Great Reset? Schwab wrote an entire book on it that was released just as the Plandemic started (which means it was written well ahead of that kickoff).

          They crash the current system because it is insolvent. Then they build it back with a digital smart grid that controls everything from what you are allowed to eat to where you are allowed to go.

          And if you don’t play ball and take your shots to get your Covid Pass (which becomes the digital ID according to the producers themselves), where do you think you will end up?

          They intend to take it all: your rights, your house, your pension, your freedom. And they have a sweet Trojan Horse called Covid-19 to do so.

            Yep. They are going to print all the money they need to allow Blackrock and the rest of their criminal friends buy up everything they want before the digital currency is unrolled in the aftermath.

            There was a quote from a top US govt. official recently that seemed to make waves even in the McMedia — something to the effect of the government being able to afford anything it wants. Was in context with the debt ceiling.

        • Kind of like how the Boy Scouts of America used the distraction of teaching young boys about “leadership skills” while grooming them for molestation? To the tune of 60,000 plaintiffs… ? Did anyone ever hear about this? The culture seems satisfied to have this dropped into the Marianas Trench of memory holes.

          Its funny, despite all the junior detectives on this blogroll, no one had any insight as to what was really going on over the prior decades. Why is that? I’m thinking its just not important to Fox News to spend on investigative reports, but instead, employ comic idiots to bloviate.

          Meanwhile the “Girl Scouts” are gearing up to sell processed junk food in their annual drive in some similarly rationalized effort (business skills?) across the country. Those hydrogenated confections: they call them “Thin mints” but I don’t think any thin people eat those. They should call them Fat Mints.

          Oh wait I GET IT NOW (all caps)…. the idea is to impress upon them the importance of marketing in advertisement and sales copy. It is an important principle of business: how to sell any kind of dog shit as long as you spray a bunch of euphemistic lies at a customer who, after hearing a few magical phrases like, “empowering” and “fundraising”, and “leadership skills” will spend any sum and eat any junk, as long as you say the magic words that create the right feeeeelings.

            Don’t forget social shaming. Locally, they hang out at the entrance to the local supermarket – literally the only game in town. The fire fighters and the cops used to try that shit too, but I haven’t seen them out there for a while now. I imagine everybody going increasingly cashless has put a serious crimp in their little fund raising efforts, but so far they haven’t responded with the little phone attachment card scanners that are available now. Need to update their business plan I guess. I’m just surprised the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts haven’t merged already and become genderless. Aren’t single sex groups inherently sexist?

            Where I live, the Girl Scouts (Girl Guides up here) outsource the sales pitch to others. The overworked, mask-beset counter clerks at the grocery store, just before they ring up your bill, ask if you want to buy their hydrogenated fat, ghastly food-like substances. I couldn’t resist one time answering, “thanks, but I’d rather bypass a bypass.”

        Mr K does not let Pride interfere with:

        “I disagree with what you say but will defend, to my death, your right to say it.”

        In fact, Mr K literally puts his money where his mouth is as he hosts this forum that the nervy use to sometimes criticize him and his work.

          Amen, OG. It is admirable and resilient. No echo chamber this blog. I am honestly amazed at the number of times Mr Kunstler has kicked off a certain elderly National Socialist ranter (one who tipped his hand and revealed he was a cymbal-clanging, bedsheet-wearing, jumping-up-and-down-on-the-corner Hare Krishna as well) then allowing him back to comment once again (sharing his misery mostly). Vlad, Janos, Jarek, how many more monikers – and, without shame, he keeps crawling back for more. You’d think he’d be humiliated enough to go somewhere else to share his (not inconsiderable) insights, after being banned. Nope, it’s back again, under a new pseudonym.

          Commendable, Mr. K. It’s why I try to read the huge swath of comments twice a week. Never stop learning something new and intriguing.

    Golly…

    “Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease that is found in parts of the tropics, subtropics, and southern Europe. It is classified as a neglected tropical disease (NTD). Leishmaniasis is caused by infection with Leishmania parasites, which are spread by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies.”

    Puppies should be vaccinated against this scourge.

      SNP in a nutshell, OG. Although when comparing with Borisland, there’s probably not much to choose between them in terms of malice, with a froth of shambolic ineptitude.

      It was a comfort to me at one time that incompetence and bungling were a slight brake on manifest evil, but even when it’s 2 steps forward and 1 step back, the destination is the same. Although there’s something to be said for a bit more time, in the hope that more people will see what’s going on elsewhere, or even here. And just for a few more nice days when you can look outside and pretend it’s just a bad dream, if only for half an hour.

  44. In other news from continental Europe:

    “Before the pandemic, there were 10.3 new diesel cars registered for every electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle. Today, that ratio has decreased to just 1.3.

    In September, low emission vehicles posted a monthly growth of 44%, to 221,500 units, while the registrations of diesels decreased by 51%, to 167,000 units.”

    Amazingly VW is still making diesels. Recall that they contracted a New Mexico company to subject monkeys to diesel emissions in roughly the same way we subjected human beings (including puppies) to the sooty exhaust for decades. Ultimately it came out that VW was pushing a Final Solution in the form of PM2.5 and NOx on us all (that is, the few of us who huff-n-Puff on a bicycle next to trafiic) by baking in some emissions testing avoidance programming in their shitty cars.

    They were fined all of $1 billion… chump change for the conglomerate, which sees $67 billion in annual revenue. Good thing they chose Monkeys as test subjects. Had they chosen the far more popular and charismatic puppies, I imagine they would have been liquidated entirely.\

    A dynamic has been unfolding in Scotland involving Green Alba and her doctor husband. The same dynamic is playing out here in Central, NJ where I am Green Alba and my wife is GA’s husband. Forwarded CFN links are deleted unread.

    My wife just pulled away in her car with her brother Peter headed somewhere for the two of them to get their “boosters.”

    I imagined tomorrow’s news headline as follows:

    “Peter passes, Bo cries, Q. breathes sigh of relief”

        Four shots gotta be better than three… and five even better than four…

        In the final analysis, I look at it like this: the risk of severe outcomes from Covid is very small. The short-term risk from the vaccines also appears very small.

        The difference is that while the risk of even getting infected with Covid is quite small *, the risk of suffering negative effects from a treatment with no long-term safety profile is quite high, should those effects be waiting down the road aways, if one willingly takes two and three and four shots. I’m more than willing to admit the possibility than no such effects exist; time will tell but the point is exactly that: no one knows the long-term scenario.

        That being the case, much more than a depopulation scheme, this vaccine mania looks to me like a typical money-making scheme, sort of like war-profiteering with no war and a much more fearful population. The pharma players will take their chances with side effects and lawsuits down the road because all that is just a tax write-off somewhere in a possible future and the money is on the table in the actual here and now.

        Anybody who wants to be a participant in a fear-based marketing campaign and a willing dupe for pharma profits, go for it. For me, Occam’s Razor applies and no amount of threats from a shuffling mannequin or anecdotal accounts of the unvaxxed and their untimely demises or end-of-the-world-overflowing-hospital pieces written by flagellants in the Covid cult has the octane to supersede that standard.

        *the peer-reviewed study in Nature in January showing T-cell responses to SARS-2 peptides in 81% of those studied is a pretty good indication of the level of pre-existing immunity that was already out there in the population

        • Paula D October 26, 2021 at 12:27 pm #

          Agree, except that there will be no lawsuits.

      • GreenAlba October 25, 2021 at 4:39 pm #

        Funny you should say that because yesterday I went into the kitchen with my iPad mini and sat down at the table, where my husband was sitting, and started listening (for about the fourth time!) to Mike Yeadon’s Planet Lockdown interview.

        Very passive aggressive, but there we are.

        After 15 minutes, he decided the dog needed a walk, so I helpfully put it on pause so that he wouldn’t miss anything. Then he went to read in the bedroom (small flat – bedroom is across the hall from the kitchen) so I helpfully turned the volume up until it was done. No comment.

        However, today I sent something or other, and he said he didn’t want any more emails of that kind because it was distressing.

        I said, of course, being distressed is much worse than being genocided, with your blood and brain hijacked on the way.

        But I said ‘over and out’, so I’m honour bound to send nothing else. I’ll have to leave it till he gets his booster – I’ve already warned him that I won’t share a room with him for at least a month after he gets it, so he’d better wait until after Christmas, unless it’s done by mid-November. I read that they’re proposing making the boosters 5 months after the second jab, instead of 6 months.

        Imagine that.

        • GreenAlba October 25, 2021 at 4:54 pm #

          Re Christmas, we used to pull my mother’s leg over her habit of adding ‘if we’re spared’ to absolutely any statement about the future.

          So, consider an ‘if we’re spared’ to be included in that, given the circumstances. 🙂

          • hmuller October 26, 2021 at 11:51 pm #

            GA, Your husband is a doctor, right? Doesn’t he have a scientific rebuttal to Dr Yeadon? TPTB keep telling us to “trust the science”. Yet apparently, we’re not allowed to talk about the science. They demand total trust and obedience. Who rationally thinks they have earned it?

            Many of my relatives have taken the jab. I don’t nag them about it. Everyone dies eventually and the universe goes on. And some people apparently would rather die than admit they made a mistake. So be it.

          • GreenAlba October 27, 2021 at 8:42 am #

            HM, I’ve sent him heaps of links from whistleblower doctors and scientists and he refuses to listen to them. Perhaps he just blanked out Mike Yeadon.

            As others have pointed out, this is beyond logic, it is about psychology. I just happen to be logical (he has occasionally, in the past, accused me of ‘over-thinking’ things and ‘intellectualising’ everything. Maybe. We are who we are. So, even when I was not convinced of what I later accepted was going on, I was trawling scientific papers for information, not realising at that point just how corrupt the scientific establishment had become (I worked for a major health science publisher for 20 years, but in their books division, not their journals division. Text-/reference books are not subject to the same pressures from Big Pharma).

            Oddly, my husband has always railed against Big Pharma, and the uselessness of much of modern medicine. But he’s a slightly eccentric character. For instance, he’s been against the routine use of statins for years and fell out with an old best friend in Ireland over it one night we were over there (the friend and his wife were both doctors, and Ireland doesn’t have an NHS, so there’s money to be made from overprescribing).

            He has always thought the evidence for the link between cholesterol and life expectancy was flimsy at best, and entirely lacking at worst. But here’s the thing – he takes statins prescribed by his own GP!! He had to change the brand because the first ones were affecting his memory. But his GP is, by complete coincidence (Edinburgh is a small place) also his GMC appraiser.

            Doctors here have both an annual internal appraisal, conducted (certainly in his service) by the person just above their line manager, and an external appraisal – plus five-yearly revalidation, based on those appraisals – on behalf of the GMC. So he didn’t want to rock the boat. Everything a doctor prescribes is recorded and their numbers are compared with their colleagues, in their internal appraisal. So, for instance, if they were prescribing either many more – or many fewer – antibiotics than their colleagues, this would be a point of discussion and would have to be justified.

            Getting back to the vaccines issue, my personal feeling is that, under the surface he may be in some turmoil, which he wishes to avoid by blanking out unwelcome evidence and sticking with the echo chamber of his doctors’ blogs. He had a younger brother who committed suicide many years ago, before I knew him. And he himself, for years after that, was given medication by his then GP for bipolar disorder. Whether or not, that was a correct diagnosis, we’ll never know – he hasn’t been on those medications since before I met him.

            But some people have stronger psyches than others. I find myself making judgements about my own friends when deciding whether to say anything or not. Although in one recent instance, I was pleasantly surprised. But yesterday, when he told me to leave him alone and accept that I have my right to believe what I choose and so does he, the rims of his eyes were reddening and he was almost welling up.

            I think part of him knows I’m right and he just can’t deal with it.

            I’m not spilling the beans on my private life out of disloyalty – if I didn’t love him I wouldn’t care what he thought. I hope I’m contributing to the understanding of how difficult it is for many people – even doctors – to cope with something that I myself originally found outlandish, as you know. When you think about the big picture of what’s going on, it’s almost unthinkable.

          LOL, comedy gold (sorry if you meant it seriously).

          I am sorry your hubs is in that ‘cognitive dissonance’ stage. But maybe that’s actually progress. You’ve lit the spark. We’ll see where it goes.

          I don’t know if it was intentional Alba but that really made me laugh, just imagining the scene playing out in your cosy northern flat. It brought back memories of reading The Twits to my boy last year some time. You’re really on form of late.

          • GreenAlba October 26, 2021 at 5:44 pm #

            Well I don’t mind having a laugh at my plight with Dr Cognitive Dissonance, Slugoon. 🙂

            Is you wife still intending not to get the booster? At least that’s something.

            I used to read The Twits to my kids too. I remember there was one book where I had to skip a paragraph near the beginning because it described how Mr Twit would recover bits of scrambled egg and stuff from his beard and eat them for breakfast, which made me feel sick!

            BTW, I had my 90-minute fix of UKC news today, although it was yesterday’s. One of the prize moments was a quote from Anas Sarwar, the leader of Scottish Labour, who apparently said on Question Time:

            “We know who is not vaccinated. We know where they live. We should be looking at door-to-door vaccinations.”

            It’s like a competition to see who can sound the most fascist.

            This is the opposition to Nicola Sturgeon.

          • GreenAlba October 26, 2021 at 5:50 pm #

            BTW, I haven’t been following current bouts of law-making, but UKC discussed a bunch of new (UK) Acts recently passed or Bills currently going through Parliament, all intended to reduce people’s rights to protest and increase the police’s rights to deal with those who try.

            We are practically a dictatorship.I don’t like the sound of 2022 at all.

          • Slugoon October 27, 2021 at 1:35 am #

            I don’t think she intends to get it, she hasn’t mentioned anything, but we don’t really talk all that much!

            Gosh, I remember that part of The Twits quite clearly. There is an A4 sized colour illustration of it in the book we’ve got. It’s gross!

            The quote from Anas Sarwar: I often wonder how the Germans were swept along into committing the atrocities they did but we are seeing the same mental precursors play out right in front of our eyes.

            We were due to visit my children’s great grandparent yesterday (didn’t in the end for other reasons) and my wife informed me that my sister-in-law had insisted I take a lateral flow test before I went, being one of the unclean ones of course. I asked if the vaccinated were also taking tests before seeing her, since they could just as easily be carrying it. She acknowledged it was illogical but shrugged her shoulders all the same. I guess that’s how it happened in Germany, people just shrugging their shoulders and looking the other way. (I said I would not take a test, and instead would sit in the car and wait.)

            We’re on the right side of history, GA. It’s going to get harder but there are plenty of us out there. Just got to stick together somehow.

          GA, you know best, but the reason my 2nd marriage has outlasted my 1st and looks like it will truly be the definitive one w no sequels is because I thought long and hard about pros and cons of letting a point, an issue or a statement go, and decided the pros win every time.

          In fact, nagging, it’s a scientifically proven fact, only makes the spouse dig in deeper, and dinnertime becomes Verdun.

          You know best, but this admirer had to chip in his 2¢.

          • GreenAlba October 28, 2021 at 9:38 am #

            Thanks Rulo.

            I’m not sending him any more stuff – you have to respect people’s wishes. And we mostly didn’t talk about it face to face. I’d send him things but it wouldn’t be alluded to at dinner time! Or any other time, mostly.

            I’ve only been unable to contain myself a couple of times, like when I read the Scottish Labour leader’s comment that ‘we know where they live’ (the unvaccinated). So life hums along without aggro, generally – the emails are a bit tangential to everyday life.

    Un, everyone. The covid virus has been isolated for awhile. I’ve seen pictures from an electron microscope. They are available on-line. You can look them up. Now, you could say those pictures are phony, but it’s up to you to prove it.

      No. That is a simulation it is not the actual virus.

            An ‘anti-vaxxer’ acquaintance of mine stated, without blinking, that “insurance companies have changed their policy wordings so that they won’t cover COVID-infection effects OR ‘vaccine injuries'”.

            I asked her to send me the links to this ‘explosive’ information.

            A couple of weeks later, I asked again.

            After the third request was ignored, I asked if she’d perhaps been misled? No answer.

            Last week I sent her a c&p from a notice from my insurer that stated unequivocally that all benefits (medical, disability, critical illness, and death) are indeed covered with regard to COVID-infection and any purported vaccine injury. The notice was issued because so many people had been asking the very question. Still no response. Go figure.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 9:44 pm #

            What you don’t understand is, I have THOUSANDS of links and videos and I haven’t taken the time to catalogue them all, and sometimes I watch/ read things (as I read several up to 20 articles a day) so forgive the fuck out of me if I don’t have every single question’s answer at my fingertips. Do you know how many aspects there are to this stupid hoax?

            I should unload my whole vault here one day in .pdf format, all 40+ pages of it. Let you pore through it.

            But no, I’m done going out and fetching you lot info that you can easily find yourself. Or would be able to, if we weren’t 99% censored now.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 25, 2021 at 9:45 pm #

            And the bottom line, Redneck Fake Trae, is that according to the CDC, the population fatality rate is still WAY BELOW that needed to declare a pandemic.

            So, you’ve been bamboozled for 1.8 years and going strong.

            And you still believe it. Because you’re a fucking moron.

            I wasn’t asking YOU to give me ANYTHING. Look, I know it’s ‘always all about me” with you, but I was referring to another person – a direct acquaintance.

            You can feel free to drop your ‘vault’ on the blog if you feel you some need to justify yourself. In any case, my experience tells me almost all of your links are to nut-job, fake-news, fear-mongering bullshit sites. So, there’s that!

          • Redneck Liberal October 25, 2021 at 10:06 pm #

            “I agree with N.O. You’re one dumb mofo

            That brings me no worries at all. Your ‘ally’, Night Owl, is clearly a paid troll, spending all his time geeing up the fake narratives of the last couple of years. You do sterling service in his employ, repeating the same old shitty tropes and agreeing with his every word, including pointless *chortle*s as your much-considered response.

            Do you REALLY spend as long as that each and every day “doing your own research”? Maybe that’s why you’ve quit your job. Your addiction to fake news articles & websites, all the conspiracy bullshit, and the warm-and-fuzzy feeling you get from your faux community here is too much to give up?

      Here are the other things they lie about:

      PCR tests are garbage and don’t work.

      People who die ‘with covid’ based on a test that doesn’t work are counted as covid deaths.

      The vaccine is ‘safe and effective’ – nope

      Masks stop the spread of a virus – nope

      Social distancing stops the spread of a virus – nope

      Dousing yourself in hand sanitizer and chemicals are good for you – nope

      Remdesivir is safe and the only remedy for covid19 – nope

        I could forgive the low of IQ for not understanding most of the items on that list, except for masking.

        The idea that there are still dopes who think a fabric/paper mask does anything to stop a virus is beyond Onion.com levels of comedy.

        Then there is the whole ritual of how we are instructed to use them, e.g., wearing the coffee filter to walk into a restaurant, taking it off when seated, etc.

      In 3 Courts of Law, in 3 different “states” (Alberta, Spain & Georgia (USA)), the governments of Spain and our dear Queen Lizard and the CDC in Atlanta – all were unable to simply provide a sample of the virus (neither Alpha nor Delta) for verification and analysis.

      If these 3 entities could have complied, why did they all choose to lose in Courts of Law?

            Yet you always say, “You sold yourselves out”, not “we all…”

            I don’t get it….I have no ill will toward Canada, nor does anyone I know, but you sure seem to carry a grudge for the US!

            China is buying up Canada too, O.G.

            5G, farmland, majority holdings in major oil companies in Alberta, anti-science regulation roll-outs, vaxx purchases (from China), cheap goods, holdings in mining companies, tax loophole laws for house buyers in B.C. favouring rich (proxy) Hong Kongers and Chinese who have no intention of ever moving here (money laundering and/or bug out protection).

            Also, for the sanctimonious Canadians who constantly criticize Americans for energy use, we use slightly more fossil fuels per capita than does the U.S. And we have even fewer excuses since there’s a ‘working’ railroad which conveniently and usefully traverses the East -West line from coast to coast, through or close to most major centres.

            Since I’m running down my own country, I’ll reverse course a bit: the U.S. typically knows next to nothing about life here, and I’ve been reading lately, during the worldwide lockdown and police ramp-up, about how Canada, like Australia supposedly, is doomed because we have no guns. Horseshit! Per capita gun ownership here is at least as high as it is in the U.S. And when the Liberals (party, not political ‘philosophy’) tried to institute a national gun registry, most told the PM and parliament to go fuck themselves. Nothing was done.

          A few months ago, people were saying all the vaxxed would be dead by fall or winter. Now they’re saying in the spring? When April comes around they’ll say this summer. And in the summer…

          Maybe we will be all dead (but I doubt it), but if so, it’s impossible to know exactly when.

          • malthuss October 25, 2021 at 3:44 pm #

            winter is not here.

            one rumor is the vax, first roll out, was some meds and some shots were water [placebos]. no sure how they know or can prove.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder October 25, 2021 at 3:46 pm #

            Some people have gone that far in their rhetoric, sure. Most people have had a more reasonable, skeptical approach.

            Remember 18 months ago, 30M Americans were going to be dead from covid by the winter, per the experts.

            See? No one knows.

            But I do know a bad cold is something most people can handle. We do it every year, to varying degrees. So no thanks on the shot.

            OTOH, the fearmongers told us millions would die and showed us rigged media like Chinese videos showing people dropping dead in the streets, and passing off photos taken after a gas line leak poisoning in India as people dropping from covid19.

            Those decisions were made by people running this hoax, and they were seen on major news channels and their Twatter feeds.

          • Paula D October 25, 2021 at 4:43 pm #

            I don’t think it’s a death shot. I think it’s a birth control shot, like the tetanus shots Bill Gates gave to the Kenyan teenagers.
            Yes, a lot of people have died from the shots, but not everyone, much like the virus itself.
            But some fear the virus enough to take the clotshot, others fear the clotshot more, based on an assessment of their risks vs benefits (i.e. young, healthy and not obese humans are at almost no risk from the virus, but are at some risk from the shot).
            Personally, I am avoiding both. Unlike so many who don’t think that they are releasing bioweapons in order to terrorize the public, I do
            And when the fear wears off, I think they have released more, like the ”UK variant” which rolled out at the same time as the vaccine rollout, and the “Delta variant’ which rolled out in the summer (there’s a clue it’s deliberate!) to terrorize the holdouts from the first round of jabs.
            They could very well roll out a “new variant” this winter in order to terrorize the jabbed into supporting forced inoculations on the remaining unwilling. That would not surprise me at all.

            I know 4 couples in which one of them got sick with covid and the other one didn’t. If they were poisoned, why wouldn’t they both get sick?
            If it is a virus there is a simple reason, either they were already immune from a previous coronavirus infection or their immune system fought it off.
            I never had the mumps, but I was exposed as a child, and I have immunity.
            Night Owl, I heard about a video in which they injected a 13 y.o. boy and he died immediately post injection. Do you have that video?

Offshoring to China (most favored nation status), merging of communications and news companies; rolling back Glass-Steagall; etc. etc. Remember? “Third Way” Clinton was the worst thing that happened (recently) to this country.

            I was so happy when Clinton won in 1992.

            It took awhile for me to understand the mess he created.

            Figuring this out was a gradual process.

            Took a couple of decades.

    • Yeah… I thought about this. Its all very stupid, really. You can read all about it in the Rand Corporation’s very well-thought out report on consequences of a Great Powers conflict in the modern era.

      I was thinking was how bad it would look for Beijing to have video of lots and lots of dead Chinese people which would be the simple outcome of such a stupid move… A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would trigger wholesale international condemnation, and internal revulsion. Politically unlikely move for a culture that cannot bear to “lose face”.

      No, what these “maneuvers” in the Strait mean are a simple exercise of Status quo diplomacy. Counter-intuitively, Taiwan’s existence means continued rhetorical purposes makes it possible for Beijing to continue to leverage its PR against its own population, and threaten others- no actual warring being necessary, or desirable. A very cheap and effective solution… and it serves double purposes for people like you, to goose your own rhetorical arguments. Thus the eternal untenable situation becomes a kind of ready-made device for sophistry to support nearly any opinionated, motivated reasoning.

      For example, disparaging remarks about US military officers by people with distaste for transsexuals. Who knew the puppy-eating Chinese would supply the rationale for such contortions? So as it is the the PRC PR wing, the existence of these queer bathroom invaders are grist ofr more umbrage and oppobrium.

      You need trans people in public life, in order to point the finger and say, “Here is the reason…. (insert agenda line item)”

      The fact is the queers have busted out of whatever containment vehicle they previously existed in, and the tide is turning. They are serving in the gay navy, and cruising for a bruising with their slightly longer-than-average ring fingers on the trigger, in the Taiwan Strait, in the sands of Tunisia… wherever freedom might be threatened.

      • MaryQueen October 25, 2021 at 4:02 pm #

        The queers were created by Big Pharma puppets who were groomed for years by post-modernist crap. The number of girls convinced they were really boys rose 4000% in the past few years. But yeah I’m sure that’s totally organic, and not a mental disorder or mass hysteria.

        Big Pharma gives money to the queers to push the agenda. They want their transhumanist test subjects + their patients for life.

    • VAERS is like the modern version of alt.psychosomatics

      Anyone with a sordid tale of woe can hammer out a “report” and file it. I appreciate the long-form professional version, as in today’s New York Times column by R. Douthat, who explains his journey through an inexplicable illness, and the disappointments of modern medicine.

      He really does a great job of illustrating the mentality of the modern whining East Coast Roman Catholic intellectual who isn’t satisfied with prayer and the capricious and inscrutable nature of God’s plans and insists on getting every little inconvenience like a swollen lymph gland inspected by a G.P.

      Then he continues to whine about his ongoing febrile symptoms and blame the institutions while omitting the obvious and salient fact, which is, he had a tiny, flea and tick transporter mammal, aka, a Dog, actually living with him at the time, and a wonderful kitty kat, all coming and going through little door on their special suburban faux-farm.

      • MaryQueen October 25, 2021 at 3:28 pm #

        That is absolutely not true. The submission process is quite rigorous, which is another reason there are only 1% reported. Another problem is that many doctors don’t even know it exists or that they are supposed to report to it.

      • beantownbill. October 25, 2021 at 3:53 pm #

        @Mary:

        If there’s only 1% reporting to VAERS, based on the numbers you listed, then there have been 81 million adverse events, or almost half of those vaxxed; 840,000 heart attacks; a million Bell Palsy cases; a million myocarditis cases; and 1.7 million deaths.

        Are the Vaers reporting figures based on just people vaxxed or everyone? And what is the time frame? One year, this year, or since the start of the pandemic?

        • MaryQueen October 25, 2021 at 4:04 pm #

          VAERS is vaccine injuries and deaths. WHat do you mean ‘everyone’? Why would anyone who’s not injured be reported to VAERS?

          In my circle of friends, everyone knows someone who has died or been maimed from the jab. Some, several. I do not know anyone who has died of so-called Covid19.

          I also have a friend who got Bells Palsy from the Jab. The injuries are way more common than is being reported, yes.

            I know few people and am rigorously reducing that number. However, of those I know who have been “diagnosed” with “Covid”, they have been caught up in the dragnet set in the public schools and their “contact tracing”. None showed any signs of illness until dragged into the death centers (damn spell checker – I meant “hospitals”) and poked and prodded until “testing” “positive”. Some, not understanding the Byzantine protocols now in-place, have lost their shitty, low-paying jobs as a result.

          • SmokieHillVillain October 25, 2021 at 5:19 pm #

            There is a hypothesis abroad that the developers/planners/controllers etc are running what has been referred to as an advocacy system. What does this mean?

            Pretty obviously, if everybody who received a jab/shot received something acutely toxic which resulted in their death, most people, even the comatose or brainwashed, might notice what was happening.

            In discussion with Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, the UK undertaker John O’Looney said he believes this system is being rolled out. Those who receive the (saline?) placebo, having no side effects, will advocate for the vaccine (experimental immuno-therapeutic), in effect convincing more vaccine hesitant folks to avail of it.

            https://brandnewtube.com/watch/john-o-looney-interviewed-by-reiner-fuellmich-vax-deaths_dcH8ULIuGHvbgRv.html

            I agree and easily see how this could be operating. Booster shots could be utilised to effect deaths in waves, making any effort less noticeable.

            At one level, this seems preposterous, but is it, I wonder? I mean, it’s not like Michael Drexler of the WEF hasn’t told us that there will be a massive gap in the six largest national pensions systems by 2050! (That surely must be a massive clue, but if some kind of population nudge/management effort is in progress, it smacks of desperation).

            The again, could it be targeted at specific age cohorts, or national populations? Perhaps? Or would any effect merely be an artefact? I don’t know.

            Of course, in all this shambles, perhaps our biggest enemy is ambiguity. An alternative explanation to the advocacy system claim (O’Looney has claimed that from his observations, he reckons that 85% of doses might be saline) might be that variability in susceptibility to adverse effects across, between and within populations might be being expressed. Or perhaps, differences in injection technique, level of medical/nursing staff competence etc. An argument in favour of the majority of the vials containing saline or some other inert mixture would be that these would be much cheaper to manufacture. Could this be done? After the past 2 years, at this stage, I’d give almost any madcap hypothesis a hearing.

            Now, this analysis out of Canada by Prof Denis Rancourt. Interesting reading, and probably what most here can pretty much surmise.

To date, I know two (2) people who told me to my face that they had COVID; one said it was like a very bad flu and he recovered at home, and the other was still having shortness of breath post-recovery.

            Finally, after all this time, someone I actually knew to say hello to has died of COVID. She was 70, long-time vegetarian, and a Creationist who wasn’t vaxxed and believed God would protect her. She and her 74-year-old husband both caught COVID. She was in the hospital for about a month, on O2 at least, and sadly she finally has expired, just about a week ago. No further word on husband. These folks lived next door to my only sister, who related the story to me. The neighbor woman was already unhealthy–for a long time she had to puree everything she ate due to ?? digestive problem, and sister said she apparently had been unable to get around for a while–she saw the husband pull the vehicle up on the lawn right to the porch so wife could get into it. So whatever was going on previously, it sounds like she was dry tinder waiting for the match.

            The other person who died, allegedly from COVID, was sister’s across-the-street neighbor, unvaxxed and apparently a Trump fan. Sister melted down describing it to me, railing about how she wanted to kill Trump for–I gathered–not wearing a mask himself and encouraging others not to. (I had to stand back and let that cool off. No use pointing out that the Donald persists in telling people to get vaxxed.) I never met this neighbor; no idea what the situation was.

            I =suspect= I might =finally= know someone who has been injured by the jab. Late 70s, I think; nice woman. She turned up to a group I attend sounding hoarse and said she’d been short of breath; had chest X-ray showing “changes” and “they said it’s emphysema” but I gather they aren’t sure. Has history of asthma (so lungs are susceptible organs). She was going to get the booster that very day. I told her her lung issues might be side effect of the vaxx–explained about microclotting–to my surprise, she said, “Good idea!” and said she’d ask her doc for the d-dimer test to see if there was any active clotting. I thought to myself, they’ll f this up somehow, I know it.

            Well…

            The next week she said she’d asked for the test, they told her she needed to go to ER for it. Wtf, I said. She said she did so, and since she also complained of pain in one leg, they did a contrast study–no clots, thankfully. They did draw the d-dimer, but since the dye study was negative, they threw it away!

            And she took the booster.

            I am sad.

            The problem is that from day 1 they’ve been calling everything covid19. And then there are the Remdesivir deaths, which Dr. Ardis and others have pointed out.

            So the waters are muddied.

            One thing we know?

            The population fatality rate has always been under 1% even with all of the pumping up of numbers.

            So there is no pandemic.

            nada. zip.

            Dear Bill,

            Your anecdotal observations are shared by many. I know many large circles of people. Extended family, friends, coworkers. Hundreds upon hundreds of people.
            I know but one person who suffered an infection that was perhaps aided by reduced immune function after the vaccine.
            That is it!

            When hysteria arrives, the emotional, overconfident, and hyperbolical find their mirror-image in their rivals.

            The sane sit the spectacle out, left wondering how everyone lost their mind, and left wondering how Crazy R does not see that they are just like Crazy L.
            It manifests itself in extremes like Antifa/Prideboys, Dem/GOP, and so on.

            My advice is to get the popcorn and enjoy the scripture quoting weirdos as they spar against the “science” parroting know-it-alls. When the religious freaks come out, we all know there is no point in looking for rational debate. Fauci science is a modern religion BTW.

            beantownbill – Is everyone around me super lucky?

            I hear ya. Same here. That said, that has been the popular refrain for centuries. Most people don’t get randomly sick and die each year. But plenty do, and always have, and eventually, everyone will (unless they get hit by a bus or pushed in front of train or something).

            So you see the official narrative has taken “everyday life” and made it into a zombie movie, if you watch the news networks.

            Does that help clarify the position of some of those on this board?

          • Anthea October 25, 2021 at 9:47 pm #

            I don’t know a lot of people who have been vaxxed: a couple of my daughters–who, a few months ago, said they would never take the jab–about six of my daughter’s numerous in-laws, and an elderly couple in which the husband is an invalid and is often dangerously ill, and the wife desperately trying to protect him. Oh, and a gay couple who are both immune compromised, one from HIV and the other from a bout with leukemia. I know of no adverse reactions among this bunch.

            On the other hand, a friend reports that his neighbor suffered a stroke shortly after getting the jab, and a man who is a pillar of our local church recently lost both his wife and son, one from stroke and the other from a heart attack. All had been vaxxed.

            Was it the vax? I have no way of knowing. The only way to find out if these particular people were harmed by the vaccines would be to perform autopsies on the dead and do extensive testing on the survivors, and no one is doing this. We can also draw inferences from statistical data about overall death rates. Later on, we may be able to draw inferences from rising infertility rates.

            The thing is, my understanding is that infertility has increased dramatically over the past 10-20 years. By “infertility,” I mean couples who are trying to have kids but can’t. One of my daughters is in her 30’s, and she estimates that about one in five of the couples she knows have been unable to have children and have turned to adoption.

            To a woman who grew up in the 50s and 60s, this seems highly bizarre. I never heard of a woman in my age group having difficulty having kids–except for that one who had had three abortions. Everyone else, absent the diligent use of birth control, was the proverbial Fertile Myrtle.

            It may be that vaccines have been creating fertility problems for decades–along with other factors like xenoestrogens and other endocrine disruptors.

            So even if there is an explosion in excess mortality, strokes, heart-attacks, infertility, and all the rest, it will be hard to link these to the covid vaccines with any certainty.

            RE those with covid and those with vaxx reactions.

            I don[‘gt know that many people. I don’t know any obese people.
            It is quite possible that people who comment here are from cohorts that are healthier than the average. It has been stated repeatedly, also by the CDC, that covid-19 is a disease of the obese—they seem to be a subclass of the immunocompromised. Along with the elderly and younger people who have a specific condition that causes them to be immunocompromised.

            As I say, I don’t know a lot of people. My great-nephew, 17, collapsed at his job sometime after getting the vax. I asked whether it could have been vax-related, and the answer was “Oh, No!. Something else entirely.” Hmmm. This young man had never collapsed before. I think many people will not admist to any possible connection between the vax and some adverse health event.

            Elderly mother of a friend of mine felt terrible for a week after getting the jab, then collapsed very suddenly in her kitchen. Fortunately didn’t hit her head. Friend too her to doc. She was scheduled for the second jab, but the doc said she should not have it. Also said he was advising a number of his patients not to get the second jab.

            A friend a couple of years older ended up with covid, and in the hospital. A farmer in Maine, so quite robust. But possible immun-compromised from earlier bout with cancer. Just barely survived. They gave him Remdesevir, it cost him $20,000. The meds. In light of the treatment, he was lucky to get away with his life.

            Regarding reporting to the VAERS, my friend’s mosther’s case was not to his knowledge reported. There are plenty of videos online indicating that adverse effects are not being reported. IF the CDC were serious about provided reliable data on this disease and on the jabs, they would ahve been doing a hell of a lot of autopsies , instead of, basically, NONE.

            This is why we are tapping in the dark, tasten im Dunklen. However, the data that we do have, from the CDC, from Israel, from the UK, from Sweden, even from the WHO, from Vietnam, etc. makes the situation clear enough to justify a LOT of questions as to The Real Plan.

        • Night Owl October 26, 2021 at 6:29 am #

          “Are the Vaers reporting figures based on just people vaxxed or everyone?”

          You don’t know this? What do you think the V stands for?

          AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

          • Islander October 26, 2021 at 11:08 am #

            It is astounding how many have been commenting here forever and still don’t get the basics.

            Even though they have been explained over and over and over again.

            I guess this partly explains what is going on in the rest of the country outside CFN.

            Look, that is why I joke about IQ all the time.

            A very intelligent person gathers facts from all sides and weighs and measures evidence, etc.

            A moderately intelligent person will not do this but will eventually get curious enough to start looking into things.

            An idiot will allow him or herself to be spoon fed all manner if information and question none of it so long as he or she is made to feel good.

            Bill has commented on these issues many, many times. The fact that he could not know what VAERS stands for at this stage in the game speaks for itself …

            Friends of mine and I have witnessed this over and over.

        VAERS is like the modern version of alt.psychosomatics

        In that case, medical complaints in general could be considered the same. Or are we only to trust symptoms when a licensed physician has sanctified them, which is in itself problematic, since my doctor more often than not has no idea whatsoever whether I’m lying or not, nor does he care? Ka-ching, ka-ching!

        Perhaps we’d all be better off if we all went back to local traditional remedies for the small shit and left the major stuff to the guys with knives? I think we’re headed there rather quickly. For the better, I might add.

            Thing is, you don’t have to be smart at all to realize that your local MD sees you as little more than a revenue source. I typically spend 30 minutes waiting at the office to see the guy for all of than 3-5 minutes. All basically so he’ll continue the prescription meds, which I still haven’t weaned myself off entirely. Shame on me for that. For everything else, I’ve learned that Google is my friend. You can pretty much diagnose all the common stuff there and save yourself the trouble of a trip to the cash collection machine.

      Put in perspective, 181,042 “adverse events” reported v. 263 million vaccinated humans in the USA (always remembering that ‘adverse events’ include reports of a sore arm, headache and the like post-vaccination, which even GA said the other day were normal reactions to a vaccine.).

      As a ratio, that’s 0.00068%. That’s many times smaller than the death rate from the disease, which you virus-deniers were always harping on about – how it’s no more than a nasty cold.

      I won’t even bother with the maths on the reported deaths at 17,128,

      • O.G. Hawkins October 25, 2021 at 9:47 pm #

        The numbers you are looking at are, of course, preliminary, RL.

        Vaxxes went live in December 2020. Most people did not have a jab until 2021 Q1 or Q2. Millions even Q3.

        This is a medical experiment – the Biggest in mankind’s history. Not even close.

        We will be in Phase III of the experiment until 2023 – but subjects are not being properly tracked. That is correct: It is both the Biggest experiment in mankind’s history but is also completely bungled.

        That’s what you are to Believe.

        Of course, here in the Real World, we understand that “this ain’t rock and roll – this is genocide!”

      If it’s words, it’s like listening to the wind blow. You should not take it personally.

      In my discussions with my daughters about “stuff people say,” I have sometimes pointed out that when most people are talking, they are not talking to you. They are talking to themselves. You are over-hearing the internal dialogue.

      The internal dialogue is an interesting subject. Where does it originate? Why do we all have one? In a way, it is like a computer’s GUI (graphical user interface). It is the “self” interfacing with society by way of the zany (or therwise) “personality.” It’s an artificial creation designed to make oneself undestood, to get along, get our needs fulfilled, get validated, attract a mate, and probably a lot of other stuff. It’s like Jose in that Miller Lite ad, who has discovered his “beer name.”

      I think we may all fear that, without our GUI, we would have to fall back on DOS and become both incomprehensible and boring.

      Anyway, it is often best not to intrude in the internal dialogue of others. This is a private conversation.

    My dad grew up in a coal camp. His grandfathers went into the coal mines at ages 6 and 8, his dad at age 12, and his uncles and brothers all went into the mines also.
    My dad dropped out of school at 16 to help his family, but he got a job in the company store instead of the mines. (That company store’s claim to fame had been robbed by Butch Cassidy decades before he got that job.)
    He developed an interest in money because when the miners came in to buy supplies and they had no US money, they would sign scraps of paper as an IOU, which was called scrip.
    My dad would take the scrip and give them their supplies and he wondered why a scrap of paper could be worth the same as an official US dollar bill.
    Eventually he realized that the paper represented something real, future coal and labor. The miner would work off the paper with his labor digging coal.
    WW2 came, my dad went to the Pacific, came home and they let him into college without a high school degree on the GI Bill. Eventually, he took up reading Marx and realized that Marx had figured out the value of labor and resources many years before he did.
    My dad was really good at figuring out the capitalists and their plots right up until the new century. I remember asking him about a decade ago why inflation wasn’t sky high, when they were pumping out so much money, and he said he didn’t know.
    But that is because they were cheating. After the crash of 1987 they set up the Plunge Protection Team and whenever the market crashed they issued more money to pump into it, putting it on the public’s credit. It never entered the real economy, therefore it had little effect on inflation.
    Marx never saw that, and neither had my father, before this century.
    The government has been used to keep the food, goods and services flowing and the rich rolling in wealth. But we have no control over what they do.
    They have a new plan now and it is worldwide.
    I assume the ”Reset” involves resetting the global debt and starting over with different scrip.

        Someone upthread said that he tried not to buy Chinese goods at first, preferring goods made in the US.
        My dad did that throughout the 90s, refusing to buy Chinese goods out of solidarity with the oppressed Chinese workers, locked in their factories.
        But then it became impossible.
        We had no control over that either.

    ” Give it up, dude. You’re starting to sound deranged – and to remind me of why I’m no longer a Christian. ”

    What’s really starting to annoy me is so many witty remarks about Christianity that completely miss the mark.

    Never a criticism with genuine meat in it , but the most trivial or irrelevant bullshit.

    Like , every time the folks who make license plates come up with a new bright idea , or demand , no matter how outrageous ,

    generally , loe and behold , the Christians come up with a new interpretation that fits right in with it.

    Whitney Webb does it again!

    Moderna: A Company “In Need Of A Hail Mary”

    “Before COVID-19, Moderna was in danger of hemorrhaging investors, as persistent safety concerns and other doubts about its mRNA delivery system threatened its entire product pipeline. Fear caused by the pandemic crisis made those concerns largely evaporate, even though there is no proof that they were ever resolved.

    As this two-part series will show, safety concerns about Moderna were known well before the COVID crisis, yet they have been ignored by health authorities and the media during the crisis itself. In addition, in order to stave off collapse, Moderna must keep selling its COVID-19 vaccine for years to come. In other words, without the approval of its booster, which has caused great controversy even among the country’s top vaccine officials, Moderna faces a massive financial reckoning. While the COVID-19 crisis threw the company a lifeboat, the administration of its COVID-19 vaccine, in which the US government has now invested nearly $6 billion, must continue into the foreseeable future for the bailout to be truly successful. Otherwise, a company now worth $126.7 billion, with major investments from the US government, US military, and ties to the world’s wealthiest individuals, will crumble in short order.”

            You made her life an endless torment. Your ex is right to extract full revenge, taking everything from you as you took from her.

            A high flyer, successful in the corporate world as a ruthless high-function usually is, you lament your losses, pretending to the noble sympathy card yet unable to truly comprehend the admission of failure. Or of fellow-feeling.

            You’re trying, I get that, but to stand on your own is near insurmountable for your kind. Your capacity avails you naught. You have failed, and face both loss and loneliness- none can help you here.

    ” You seemed to have glossed over the pedo priests and other horrors people have mentioned. ”

    Speaking of Covid parallels —

    Point out ad tedium that credit the CDC , the WHO , etc, most generous numbers , their own numbers add up to a fatality rate of less than 1%.

    But , somehow , it doesn’t make a dent.

    Nah , that doesn’t look to me like some sort of elaborate conspiracy theory on my part.

    It damn well does add up too I’m damned skeptical , or flat cynical , about it.

    Do NOT limit it to convictions , do NOT limit it to arrests.

    Count every accusation.

    Like the girl born in 1975 who claimed a priest molested her , said priest having died in 1974.

    Again , you come up with a number of less than 1%.

    Compared to just about any other occupation , like secular school teachers for example , that’s piss – poor low.

    Do their own damn numbers make a dent ?

    No.

      That’s some oversight!

      • MaryQueen October 25, 2021 at 7:35 pm #

        This is interesting stuff, isn’t it?

        Many today don’t believe that the Roman Catholic church actually persecuted and killed other Christians and yet the record is clear it did.

        We see it in the slaughter of the Albigensians which was really the first Roman Catholic crusade intended to slay other Christians. [K.Deschner, Opus Diaboli, Reinbek 1987, 29]The Albigensians…viewed themselves as good Christians, but would not accept Roman Catholic rule, and taxes, and dictates. Then on the command of pope Innocent III in 1209, Bezirs (today France) was destroyed, all the inhabitants were slaughtered. Victims including Catholics refusing to turn over their neighbours and friends were up to 70,000. [H.Wollschlger: Die bewaffneten Wallfahrten gen Jerusalem, Zrich 1973.179-181]

        In Carcassonne 8/15/1209, thousands were slain and in subsequent 20 years of war until nearly all Cathars (probably half the population of the Languedoc, today southern France) were exterminated. After the war ended (1229) the Inquisition was founded 1232to search and destroy any who did not hold to the what the church dictated.

        The Waldensians, and many others were exterminated, in the persecution of the Cathar of Southern Europe, northern Italy, it is estimated one million victims of the . [H.Wollschlger: Die bewaffneten Wallfahrten gen Jerusalem, Zrich 1973.183]

        The Spanish Inquisition killed untold numbers and the Spanish Inquisitor Torquemada alone allegedly responsible for 10,220 burnings. Of course we cant leave out John Huss, a critic of papal infallibility and indulgences, who was burned at the stake in 1415.

        In the 15th century we find the Church lauching a persecution against Hussites, with thousands slain. In 1538 pope Paul III declared a crusade against England who had left its domination and all English made as slaves of Church, but England being a island made that a bit difficult to implement. In the 1568, the Spanish Inquisition tribunal ordered extermination of 3 million rebels in (then Spanish) Netherlands and thousands were slain. In1572 In France about 20,000 Huguenots were killed on command of pope Pius V. Until 17th century 200,000 flee. [K.Deschner, Opus Diaboli, Reinbek 1987, 28-31]

        In the Catholic 17th century 30 years’ war against the Protestants, at least 40% of population decimated, mostly in Germany. [K.Deschner, Opus Diaboli, Reinbek 1987.31-32] And its recorded in the Catholics sack the city of Magdeburg/Germany, roughly 30,000Protestants were slain. “In a single church fifty women were found beheaded,” reported poet Friedrich Schiller. [D.Stannard, American Holocaust, Oxford University Press 1992, 191. ]

        Now this does not include the persecution and killing of the Jews which the church to say the least did not discourage and worse were instigated by its bishops or led by its priests. By the 4th and 5th centuries we see the beginning of this phase of the persecution as the Jewish synagogues were burned and many Jews slain. We find in the middle of the fourth century the first synagogue was destroyed on command of bishop Innocentius of Dertona in Northern Italy. The first synagogue known to have been burned down was near the river Euphrat, on command of the bishop of Kallinikon in the year 388. We find that as a result of the Council of Toledo 694, Jews were enslaved, their property confiscated, and their children forcibly baptized. The Bishop of Limoges (France) in 1010 had the cities’ Jews, who would not convert to Christianity, expelled or killed. [K.Deschner, Abermals krhte der Hahn, Stuttgart 1962. 450-453]

        When the Crusades began, thousands of Jews were slaughtered all through Europe as they marched to the Holy Land or just got together on their way there. History records the killing of the Jews at Worms, Mainz , Cologne, Neuss, Altenahr, Wevelinghoven, Xanten, Moers, Dortmund, Kerpen, Trier, Metz, Regensburg, Prag and others. [S.Eidelberg, The Jews and the Crusaders, Madison 1977.]

        It continued in the Second Crusade in 1147. Several hundred Jews were slain in Ham, Sully, Carentan, and Rameru in France). [WW57] and it continued in the Third Crusade as English Jewish communities were attacked and sacked 1189/90. And in 1257-1267 the Jewish communities of London, Canterbury, Northampton, Lincoln, Cambridge, and others exterminated.

        The killing of Jews with the churches knowledge if not outright approval continued through all Europe through the 13 century to what we see all the way to World War II by the Nazis. In Spain, Seville’s the Jews were killed with the Archbishop Martinez leading. 4,000 were slain, 25,000 sold as slaves. Their identification was made easy by the brightly colored “badges of shame” that all jews above the age of ten had been forced to wear. [K.Deschner, Abermals krhte der Hahn, Stuttgart 1962. 454]

        It was widespread in Poland with whole Jewish communities wiped out and the Jews killed. In the Chmielnitzki massacres of 1648 in Poland about 200,000 Jews were slain. And in Germany a Jew-killing craze reaches towns in Bavaria, Austria, Poland and in more than 350 towns in Germany all Jews murdered, mostly burned alive . And all Jews of Basel/Switzerland and Strasbourg/France were burned to death. [K.Deschner, Opus Diaboli, Reinbek 1987. 40-43]

          Have you watched Outlander, Mary. It is the story of the battle between the Scottish Highlanders known as Jacobites, and the English. The real causes though were the Catholic claims to the throne of England, King James and his son, Bonny Prince Charles, the last of the Stuarts. The eradication of the Jacobites at Culladen by the English marked the end of the Stuart claim to the English throne, and the end of the Catholic majority in England. GA may have more details.

          Religion, bastardized by humanity, has been the number one cause of murder in the world. Jesus tried, God in human form, but his message is no where to be found today. Peace on Earth, good will to men!

            JohnAZ,

            The pursuit of dominion over others, which usually means resources (aka wealth) is the number one cause of murder in the world.

            Nominal religious leaders have simply used their position to harness religion toward that end.

            MaryQueen,

            You left out the Crusaders, aka the Catholic Church, sacking of Constantinople in 1204 AD, after their Crusade in the Holy Lands failed. The Byzantine Empire never completely recovered.

            Even so, with out the Byzantines between Europe and the rising Ottomans for 500 years, Western Europe would be Islamic today.

            The Byzantine Empire was Eastern Orthodox. The Orthodox Bishops did not accept that the Bishop of Rome was their superior.

            As I said, it’s about control

            Just as many, too many, Americans are woefully ignorant in general of the the government works, and how little of their taxes actually comes back in forms that are useful to people who work and pay taxes, and of how they are being played, even before the plandemic, so it is with the Catholic laity.

            Well-meaning people trying to lead a Christian life blindly accept whatever the senior clergy tells them. The Catholic church still foments conflict–in the former Yugoslavia, in the Ukraine to name two I am familiar with.

            And on top of this, this Pope is all in on forcing the vaccine on the public, and suppressing dissent.

          • anmariwakaranai October 27, 2021 at 2:50 am #

            Socrates, can you describe how the RC church is fomenting conflict in the Ukraine and much closer to my heart, the former Yugoslavia.

          • Q. Shtik October 27, 2021 at 3:27 pm #

            in the former Yugoslavia, in the Ukraine to name two – Socrates

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

            Time for a refresher:

            About 25-30 years ago some linguists from prominent newspapers (the NYT being one of them), in one of their periodic get-togethers, decided that the use of “the” preceding “Ukraine” was no longer grammatically correct even though it was and still is correct to say “the Netherlands” and “the Philippines.”

            I once wrote to the Times and asked for an explanation about this change. They replied but I forget what their rationale was. I think it had something to do with a country having known and agreed upon borders. You could ask them yourself if you were so inclined which I am sure you are not. Whatever the technical reasons WERE, the same reasons apply to NOT saying “the New Jersey.”

            A much more recent (in the past year or two) and important change made by these newspaper linguists was to capitalize the word Black when that word was a reference to a people (race, ethnicity) but not to a crayon color. They specifically did NOT believe that white should be capitalized when discussing whites as a race or ethnicity. I disagreed with the rationale spelled out by the Times when they made this change (found it highly offensive to me and all other Whites) and so I, personally, have chosen to capitalize both Blacks and Whites.

          • Socrates-Detroit October 27, 2021 at 11:22 pm #

            anmariwakaranai

            Ukraine, and the former Yugoslavia, happen to occupy real estate where the vast majority of inhabitants are either nominally Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. They are buffer zones or transition zones between the Church of Rome, and the other four Churches of the ancient Church (Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria, and Jerusalem) which are Eastern Orthodox. They are in communion, even as organizationally they might be the Russian Orthodox Church, or Serbian Orthodox or Rumanian or Greek Orthodox.

            In the former Yugoslavia, while there is much blame to go around, at the end of the day, the people who were most victimized by the wars at the end of the day were the Orthodox Serbs. The largest flow of refugees in Europe since World War II, as Serbs were expelled from Krajina, which they had inhabited for hundreds of years, by Catholic Croats, with a considerable amount of Western, aka American help. And many Serbs had to flee for their life from Kosovo, their ancestral home, because the US/West ripped Kosovo from Serbia and refused to protect the inhabitants.

            I don’t recall the Pope, generally considered a good man and a good pope and a man of peace (I also personally thought well of him also), saying, “wait a minute, this is wrong”, to his Catholic flock. Perhaps I missed it.

            As to Ukraine, I concede that I know less. I do know it is really a big plain that separates Catholic Poland from Orthodox Russia. In general, the Western Ukraine is Catholic, while the eastern part is Orthodox.

            Let me preface by saying, besides the cable news, besides the seemingly wrong and probably illegal payoffs from Ukraine to the former vice president, now President of the USA, a 1st generation Ukrainian-American friend has told me that, yes it is an incredibly corrupt country.

            Even so, they had an elected President that lean to Russia. The US engineered a coup to topple him and replace him with a pro-Western candidate.

            The West is Catholic. The various protestant denominations are offshoots of Roman Catholicism. Eastern Europe is Orthodox.

            The (remaining, generally persecuted from all sides) Christians of the Middle East are “mixed”. In actuality, most of them “Eastern Rite” or Orthodox. The Eastern Rite services and rituals are essentially identical to those of the Orthodox Church. But wait!!!–the “Eastern Rite” acknowledge the primacy of the Roman Pope (for whatever historical reason–in the past, the RC Church offered protection or threatened punishment to coerce and pry them away from Orthodoxy). So they are OK and in communion with RC, even as their priests marry (as do Orthodox), and their liturgies are identical (other than language) to any Orthodox liturgy–which in practice is not identical to a Sunday Catholic mass (at least not the ones I’ve been to).

            So, perhaps I overstated things a tad, but the Roman Catholic church, at the highest levels, prizes control more than Christian doctrine. At least that is what it looks like to me. And that’s about power. And it people suffer unfairly, well….we (the RC Church) don’t talk about it.

            I’m not familiar with the Orthodox Church being as power hungry. Perhaps I am ignorant? Human beings have their failings. Perhaps because the Orthodox Church was centered less powerful Eastern Europe, it didn’t have the opportunity to be as assertive.

            And perhaps it’s wrong of me to imply, or to impart some of the blame for what happened to the Serbs what is going on now in Ukraine to the RC Church.

            The US government is much more to blame for both. And I am thankful, that my tenure as an Imperial Trooper (that’s US military-and that’s what they should be called–we can’t control our borders, but have 500 or 1,000 installations overseas) ended before the US wrecked Yugoslavia, and later wrecked Iraq, and in the process decimated the Christian minority that that had managed to survive and thrive as a minority in a majority-Islamic country.

            Am glad you did not avoid Ukraine. Interesting to me that there is a movement of Ashkenazi resettlement there. I wonder, if in the grand scheme of things, Ukraine will be refuge to a remnant of the tribes. I hope so.

            And back to the Balkans for a sec, the place where everything converges, the original bottleneck of race, religion and ideology, I wonder if there will, yet again, be a Franz Ferdinand moment to spark the destroyer of worlds, or has it already happened?

            I know some Orthodox Greeks, used to work for a bunch of brothers. The newly arrived would often say to me, ‘I beg your pardon me?’. Good guys.

            Where I am there is no church for the OC, so they join us at the regular Novus Ordo mass. But boy, do they miss it.

            And speaking of Novus Ordo, I just realized that means new order. God help us.

            Just reread. You are Catholic. I don’t doubt everything is about power and therefore corrupted. I also didn’t know the US backed the Catholic side in the fight in the Balkan war. And I go there, have seen remnants of the damage.

          In Polish occupied Ukraine, the Jews were the middle men and the bully boys for the Polish Lords. The Ukrainian peasantry couldn’t get at the Polish Lords, but they could get at the Jewish thugs. And they acquired some very strong friends in the Orthodox Cossacks.

          Why did the Jews get involved in a terrible conflict between two different peoples and Civilizations? A bad mistake on their part.

          • Anthea October 25, 2021 at 10:38 pm #

            It appears that, historically, most of the Jews’ problems have arisen from acting as shills on behalf of the ruling class. They were the tax-collectors and enforcers of the rulers’ policies. Sort of a bunch of capos. It’s nice work if you can get it, confers a lot of special privileges, and is well compensated. For awhile.

            Acting as society’s capo class is a poor decision. And when you find that you are hated by everyone, and the ruling class realizes that they owe you too much money and can best cancel their debts by killing off their creditors, you will have no claim to the high moral ground.

            Probably they should have gotten a job.

            Re: Ukraine

            Complicated topic, I should have avoided.

            Two observations

            1. From geography, Poland re-emerged as an independent nation after WWI. Google the map of Poland in 1919.

            Then google Poland map 1946-now.

            It looks like some one picked up 1919 Poland and shoved it about 150 miles west.

            2. Lviv, Ukraine. Looks like a nice Eastern European city. It’s Ukrainian….today. But it was historically a POLISH city, Lwow, even as it was part of the Russian Empire from 1790-something until 1914-5.

            It was Polish again from 1920 to 1939. Per Wikipedia, in the 1931 census, it was 63% Polish, 24% Jewish, 11% Ukrainians. Russians are only 0.2% (even if the number is low, Russians probably were less than 5%). 16% are listed as “Greek Catholic”. Essentially, these sound to me like “Eastern Rite Catholics”, which means they are essentially Orthodox that belong to the Pope. Probably most of the Ukrainians were Greek Catholic.

            After WWII, when the USSR simply expropriated the eastern part of Poland (and that is now part of Ukraine) and in turn gave eastern GERMANY and to Poland, (creating millions of German refugees from East Prussia), it became Lvov, and the Soviets sort of Russified it. Now it’s Lviv, Ukraine’s Westernmost city geographically–and given it’s Polish origins, it has the most “Western” legacy.

          You could say the same thing about the US as you do about religion: much murder and mayhem in the name of (supposedly) bringing freedom and democracy.

          As with religion, there is nothing wrong with the ideals. E.g., should we reject the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the belief in inalienable rights conferred by our creator, because our government is corrupt?

          Likewise, should we reject Christian beliefs and values because the Church is corrupt?

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder October 26, 2021 at 10:46 am #

          Mary, thanks for the informative post.

          I would point out though that the Catholic Church isn’t out slaughtering people for not converting anymore (well, depending on your perspective….I suppose the Pope is out there telling people to get vaxxed to be on the right side of God…but I digress).

          It becomes tricky territory when things go far into the past…kind of like directly blaming me and the rest of white folks for the barbarisms of slavery in previous centuries.

          Yes, there are pedo priests, and that damage can never be undone. And the church has been a very, very bad actor at times in history. But most people in the church are there to do good for others (and it’s a pretty damn solid gig once you get it.) But I’d be wary of blaming the full here and now of a group for what their ancestors may or may not have done.

          Not saying that was your comparison, just popped up as I was reading and I couldn’t ignore.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 26, 2021 at 12:00 pm #

            That is a good point, MrMango. But I do believe the Catholic Church (esp. the Vatican) is just as evil today than it was then. They are killing millions by joining with WEF/Davos/WHO monsters to push clotshots and pushing its flock toward accepting technofeudalism. To me, that is tacit, but people are in denial of it.

            There is the cardinal that writes the occasional letter putting this out there.

      • Jarek October 25, 2021 at 9:09 pm #

        So not the Church in this case, but rather the Cossacks. As far as other cases, often the Hierarchy protected the Jews from the wrath of the People.

    “We are the mighty USA, a nation imbued with the moral spirit of Walt Disney…”

    My gosh, I do not see anything wrong with this, nor the admission of the truth of this statement.

    Heck, I’ll go even further and say that we could only wish we had the moral spirit of the real Walt Disney.

    The man came from nothing and worked at an honest craft: art that made people happy. Particularly during a period when many people were unhappy.

    In true American spirit he was able to commercialize on his art. From TV to film to books to destination vacations.
    The man made Orlando, Florida. The man made the modern amusement park.

    He was able to get Salvador Dali to understand that there is nothing wrong with an artist not starving for his art. For making $$$$. Why leave your art to be traded for ungodly amounts by obscenely rich people after your death? No thanks, I’ll cash-in now.

    Sure, he had flaws, and he wasn’t a taste shared by all, but he succeeded through hard work and ingenuity.

    Then he was gone.

    But America, just like Disney, was corrupted. By outside forces that got inside. By people that prioritize greed and making money above all else. Walt’s brother complained endlessly about the craven corporate leeches that destroyed the ethos of his brother’s work. That hollowed-out the spirit of his company.
    That off-shored their animation business, that on-shored foreign replacements, that drove middle-class families into debt just to give their kids a taste of that unaffordable American dream: a trip to sunny Disney Land or World.

    Just like America. The original mission and spirit has long been forsaken. Now, it’s peddling the image and the name to make money or power or both. Peddled by phonies and by people that stand for nothing beyond their own lust for money and power.

    Yes, we have the moral spirit of Walt Disney, Walt Disney Inc.

        Have you ever seen one of those Pennsylvania dutch hex marks on a barn?
        Wanna hear a story..? My dad didn’t talk much. This is one of the few stories he ever told. When he was in school as a kid, a girl in his class was starving to death. Every time she tried to eat pins and needles came out of her mouth. Priest was called in. It was a hex. She was cured. But my dad saw it, and I think it shut him up for life.

        There’s something weird going on over here. It’s a break in the storm, starry sky, a big white bird is making very strange cries and flying around in the dark. Maybe it’s dying. Don’t see birds at night unless they’re being attacked.

          • anmariwakaranai October 26, 2021 at 4:40 pm #

            I understand and appreciate your concern re human trafficking esp in light of lately revealed info.

            I have not read the Tanya but did just look at some quotes, to wit, 3 souls, human consciousness, animal nature, and God nature. This reminds me of our body spirit soul. And of the Egyptians ka ba and ?..
            https://kabbalahwisdom.org/quotes-from-the-tanya/

            No matter what the Tanya says, and judging by your words it says some pretty horrific stuff about non Hasids, right?, anyway, no matter what it says it does not mean they are not part of God or Gods family if you like.

            Yes we need the us and them, the yin and yang, the male and female, God and the devil. But J, even these mofos trying to cull us have a point. They’re just trying to save mother earth, and themselves, obviously. And that last bit is the evil. And their playing God is evil too like all things wherein we played God trying to perfect our lives, that crashed and burned.

            That’s the tell right. Too late to stop anything now, the steamroller is already on the running shoes of that dude in Tiananmen Square, and we must abide.

            So, it’ll roll over us and sometime during or after, crash and burn.
            And then our job is to accept and follow God in our hearts. As ONE.

    A while back I heard an account of a foreign metropolis, a megalopolis really, of thirty million people, that had within it seventy universities, which graduated forty thousand engineers annually. This is a country whose students score consistently at the top of PISA rankings. Where’s the US in those rankings? Don’t ask.

    American teachers don’t teach because American parents don’t insist on it. And if they don’t apparently give a damn having long ago outsourced their kid’s education to ‘experts’, guess what, the experts won’t give a damn either.

    Coherent sentences? Those don’t come from students in the public system but rather only from those students of private academies, which maybe not coincidentally stayed open during the many lockdowns of the past two years.

    But don’t worry, once those graduates of private academies reach college, they’ll have their ability to think systematically obliterated. This is what college is for, to ruin young minds.

    It wasn’t relevant to me.

    It is sad that dogs are being sacrificed to experiments of some kind that may or may not have any objective value. Reading reports tell us very little about things, so, asking Dr. Fauci for information about his role (if any) and the role of the experiments is a good move. But we use dogs to destruction here in the US and no one bats an eye about it. Why be outraged by one shitshow and ignore the other? Is it just Fauci that draws one here? Like flies drawn to rotten meat… https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/dogs-used-experiments-faq#institutions

      If you are saying why cry for dogs not humans then I think the answrr might be because humans have some culpability here.

    ” You seemed to have glossed over …. ”

    Grr , time for another video.

    ( I actually do try to keep them as short and sweet as possible. Among other reasons , for example , my own internet is almost as bad as dial – up. Those gigabites can be a pain . )

    Relevance ?

    Believe it or not , I was ten years old once.

    Is that young enough ?

    Or do I just not count ?

    I think I got a pretty good idea then of what you people thought of me.

    You seem to assume I’m on the defense.

    I don’t see it that way.

    ” Gloss over ” ?

    I don’t think so.

    I don’t have fifteen hours a day to devote here , and maybe you just haven’t been around long enough to know that.

    I reckon most people here don’t really like me , and maybe for a few good reasons.

    But I reckon I have a few good reasons of my own , and if they don’t like me it doesn’t particularly bother me.

    Actually Janos is somewhat correct ; I am emotional.

    But if he identifies the emotion as hate , or love either , I think he’s wrong.

    It’s more elemental than that.

    ” You wonder what people think of as too much oppression, what their breaking point is. Look at North Korea for example. There, it would appear, the people don’t mind tyranny and total control. Is it fear that controls them, that hinders rebellion? ”

    Why would that fear have just one source ?

    Sure , the top leadership of North Korea might very well be looking at rigged trials and long prison sentences , or even rigged trials and execution.

    But further down the social scale , it’s all gonna be rainbows and leaping unicorns ?

    Maybe not.

    Maybe anything but.

    Believe it or not , like there is English – language versions of Russian media , and Syrian media , there is an English – language version of North Korean media.

    One of the things I have learned from reading it is that since the fall of the Berlin Wall , North Korea has had a steady 30 year stream of people coming in with stories like ;

    ” I was an officer in a Warsaw Pact Army. 20 or 30 years of experience , lots of respect and social capitol.

    Now ? My resume is a stigma. ”

    And since American fun and games in the Middle East , the people coming in with stories are even worse.

    ” Before the Americans came , I had a house , a job , a family.

    Then the Americans came. My house got blown to bits . The economy went down the toilet , so no job. And most of my family , who weren’t even soldiers , wound up dead one way or another since the Americans came to town. ”

    East Germans , for example , didn’t get the benefit of seeing Muammar Gaddafi beaten to death by future slave dealers after he started playing nice with the Americans.

    When he was winning an insurrection hands down , until NATO air power stepped in on the side of the future slave dealers.

    ( Last I heard , there were public slave markets in Libya. You can buy someone for $400.

    This delivered pretty much courtesy of the folks claiming they stand for liberty and human rights. )

    But the North Korean people certainly have gotten the benefit of seeing it.

    And if the average American is a bit murky concerning the details of what went down in Libya , the average North Korean can recite the details by rote.

    All of this might just be a bunch of stories carrying little real weight.

    The Korean War was a knock – down – drag – out – devastating affair for Korea .

    But , after all , that was 60 years ago . Most of the people who experienced it are dead now.

    On the other hand , just as in the West they never shut up about the Holocaust , 70 years later ,

    North Korean media never shuts up about North Korea being shelled and bombed 99.9% flat by guess who , 60 years later.

    ( Not to mention that , up until 20 years ago , South Korea lived under an equally brutal , or worse , military dictatorship.

    Which is to say that , according to UN numbers , South Korea killed about ten times more of its own citizens than North Korea ever did.

    And of course , guess who South Korea’s number one partner and buddy in all of this was ? )

    But , still , maybe just stories.

    Except that for the past 30 years North Korea has had to live under economic sanctions of a plain draconian degree , which mainly impact the average Joe.

    Gasoline is about fifty dollars a gallon in North Korea due to sanctions.

    Maybe the average North Korean would blame that on their own leadership ?

    Or , maybe they see fifty dollar a gallon gas as virtually a hostile act of blatant aggression ,

    and group solidarity in the face of such a dire outside threat kicks in ever the more so ?

    Contrary to what you might think , one part of Western media that the North Korean regime has not been at all shy about showing their people unedited and uncensored is this business about ,

    ” North Korea can’t be trusted with Nuclear weapons because they are dangerous lunatics or idiots. ”

    Because what the average North Korean perhaps hears is not ,

    ” The North Korean regime ”

    What they hear instead is these people are saying ,

    ” I”M ( the average North Korean ) a dangerous lunatic. ”

    ” I”M stupid. ”

    And who are these people saying this ?

    The only people who have ever used nuclear weapons.

    ( The North Korean regime of course points that out to them. )

    These people who have spent trillions of dollars , and built entire cities like Oak Ridge TN , to build and stockpile nuclear weapons.

    ( The North Korean regime of course points that out to them. )

    The same people who carried out nuclear fallout and radiation experiments on the people of the Marshall Islands .

    ( The North Korean regime of course points that out to them. )

    These people who , generally , have been in the ranks of the worlds top three arms dealers for over a hundred years.

    ( The North Korean regime of course points that out to them. )

    Remember Jon Benet Ramsey ?

    The North Korean regime had what to me was a very interesting take on that.

    Apparently Communists are occasionally capable of some rather creative and interesting conspiracy theories themselves.

    I have seen pictures of Jon Benet Ramsey in North Korean media , paired with the observation that porn is one of your biggest exports.

    But it gets more interesting.

    After all, when North Korea wants to show off its kids it typically shows you some ten year old in a kimono that not one in a hundred North Koreans could normally afford , playing some Mozart piece on the violin PERFECTLY , perfectly because she practices 15 hours a day , because the ten year old is , in effect , a state employee , specifically in the area of entertainment and public relations.

    — Loosely , generally , rather like Jon Benet Ramsey.

    And the similarity did not escape their notice.

    Hey , they appreciate that practicing the violin 15 hours a day in Pyongyang when you are ten , beats the hell out of digging ditches in Nowheresville North Korea when you are 25.

    They appreciate that , if you rich Disneyland fucks don’t.

    So their take on it ?

    In a society so utterly decadent and corrupt , that everyone , and regardless of age , is so methodically and comprehensively sexually exploited ,

    It pissed someone off , not that Jon Benet Ramsey was being exploited ,

    but it pissed them off that SHE , HERSELF , might at least profit from her exploitation eventually , ultimately.

    And that is how and why she wound up dead.

    Once again , the reality is the exact opposite of what American propaganda claims.

    That a society that spends billions generating porn to export , and to drop bombs on ten year olds in countries it doesn’t care about and countries that couldn’t possibly threaten it .

    tears its heart out because a rich girl is being exploited in talent shows and beauty contests ?

    No.

    The claim is they are fighting child exploitation.

    The reality is they are weeding out any possible means a child might have to ameliorate or escape such brutal exploitation .

    The North Korean leadership is pretty kooky ?

    I don’t know , Papa Doc and Baby Doc Devalier in Haiti were pretty fucking way out there , but the U.S. Government backed them to the hilt.

    Likewise the guy in Cuba before Castro was hardly any sort of prize , and the guy the U.S. backed in Nicaragua makes Daniel Ortega look like a prince.

    I actually liked the Shah of Iran , but his image could never recover from being cast as an American puppet , especially when he was.

    And everyone has sort of forgotten that when he finally figured out that the Americans didn’t exactly have Iran’s best interests at heart , the CIA started surreptitiously backing the Mullah’s .

    And why the Mullah’s ? Because one thing the CIA had been very effective at was systematically hunting down and killing all opposition in Iran except the religious opposition.

    You could point out that despite being now one of the poorest countries on earth , North Korea is proportionately one of the worlds biggest spenders on its military.

    A phenomenal one in five North Koreans sees some type of military service at some point in their lives.

    But then , the U.S. government overthrew a democratically elected government in Guatemala , in Nicaragua , in Chile , and in Iran.

    It could maybe be that North Koreans view all of that a bit differently from you.

    Perhaps too , the U.S. invasion of Panama , Afghanistan , and Iraq is something likewise they view a bit differently from you ?

    I have already mentioned in passing that the U.S. engineered the overthrow of Ghaddafi in Libya not when he played mean , but when he played nice and disarmed.

    Saddam Hussein and WMD’s ;

    If you didn’t pay much attention to his trial ( the North Koreans did ) he was convicted and hanged specifically on the point of his having gassed the Kurds.

    Little mention though of the fact that Saddam’s primary chemical warfare suppliers were the United States and its West German allie , and that continued well after Saddam had used Gas on the Iranians a dozen times or more.

    Iran was an American enemy of course .

    The Iran Hostage crisis and all that.

    Except that not a single one of those hostages died .

    But gassing Iranians by the score was no big deal.

    And all that is not even according to North Korean state media.

    It’s Wikipedia – type stuff.

    Getting back to nuclear weapons —

    The American story is that North Korea is stupid or crazy because it won’t give up its nukes.

    Frankly that sounds to me either brazenly dishonest , or outlandishly bizarre.

    The North Korean story is that given the US record , they would be crazy or stupid if they did give up their nukes.

    The political comedian Dennis Miller once said , ” Americans brag that they are the greatest country in the world ,

    But what’s the comparison ?

    These days , it’s like bragging about being Valedictorian of Summer School. ”

    Perhaps Americans are willing to put up with so much oppression because they don’t believe there is a real alternative ?

    Perhaps with North Koreans it is much the same ?

    Frankly , I think they would have at least some GOOD reasons for thinking so.

      TLDR

    • SoftStarLight October 26, 2021 at 2:30 am #

      Wow it really is amazing to think back on all the brutal and needless foreign interventions that the US participated in. And the reality truly appears to be that each intervention, each conflict was marred by intense domestic dissent. Yet the politcal class and the corporate war machine saw to it that all of these tragedies went forward. With the latest tragedy in Afghanistan it does seem like the war machine is exhausted and not up to the task of global adventure. Thus the machine has been turned inward to array against domestic enemies. So North Koreans can probably rest better at least in that regard.

      • Jarek October 26, 2021 at 11:57 am #

        There were massive demonstrations against both WW1 & 2. But that doesn’t fit the narrative, so they were dropped down the memory hole.

        A few years ago, the Leftist Peace Movement was suddenly dropped. It no longer fit the narrative since the Uniparty was beginning to come out of the closet. It’s amazing how little conversation there was about that. It just wasn’t a thing anymore.

        • SoftStarLight October 26, 2021 at 2:31 pm #

          Wow I didn’t realize there were demonstrations against WWI & 2!! From everything I have heard or seen about it which is admittedly no where near as much as you have I am certain it always came across that the whole country was dedicated to the war efforts during both wars with zeal. Now of course I also read that there was not a lot of popular sentiment for getting involved in either but it was kinda put that we simply got involved because we were attacked by dark and sinister forces and more or less had to for the good of the world. Truly amazing unwinding all of the propaganda. And of course very troubling!

          • KesaAnna October 26, 2021 at 11:02 pm #

            I didn’t know that either.

            I DO know people went to prison , not because they blew up post offices ,

            but because they were a bit too stubborn in asserting that the American people really had no good reason to be fighting Germany.

            — Or Japan either for that matter.

            My virulent hatred of the FBI hardly begins with James Comey .

      I don’t know if North Koreans believe the stories about US atrocities around the world. But I did see one of them who didn’t believe it when the DPRK media told him that in America people who can’t pay rent are thrown out of their living quarters.
      He thought that sort of over-the-top propaganda was too much to believe.
      Imagine his shock when he found out it was true.

      If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well. But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.

    Fascinating convo. with Dr. Lee Merritt here. Reiterates what has been discussed in many threads: virus has not been isloated. The spike protein is the toxic element here and is active without being a component of a virus. Also, in tests that have been done on patients, researchers were finding influenza and not a mysterious new Corona virus.

    Worth a watch. Low IQs may need to take a breather.

      Thanks for posting. I am seeing a lot of people in the know talking about DARPA these days.

      Since reading “Radical Evolution” a book written in 2005, the coverage of what DARPA was up to (proudly) was shocking, and somewhat prepared me for what we’re seeing now.

      I read it in probably 2016. I was expecting all this to go down, I just didn’t think they’d use a fake pandemic.

      Watching it unfold is so utterly diabolic and evil. I don’t know how anyone can deny what’s going on. How is it possible to ignore it?

        I am still trying to learn more about shedding. There is so little info. on the risks for those of us smart enough not to touch the swill.

        We know the products shed, as Pfizer stated it themselves. Also, there was the change to the Gemran constitution allowing the sickly shot takers to shed on the healthy.

        So what is it doing? How long do the spike proteins stay active? What happens exactly when they enter the body?

        • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 26, 2021 at 2:48 pm #

          Night Owl, I was mostly interested in them discussing their theory that some cities had been ‘sprayed’ because that has been my conjecture for months. Listening to a few of Tom Cowan’s presentations has really brought that back to the forefront of my mind.

          Where the jabs seem to be a concentrated thing, they may also be delivering the spike protein in other ways. I always wondered why they wouldn’t just put it in the water or spray us with it (like the CIA’s bioweapons program did in 1957 off the coast of San Francisco). Maybe they don’t want any elites being caught up in it.

          I don’t know. I also haven’t seen anything but conjecture on your questions as to what exactly it’s doing. I think we will find out within a year or two, since it does definitely seem to be targeting peoples’ reproductive systems.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 26, 2021 at 3:53 pm #

            But it is telling if they have admitted even a little bit to the ‘shedding’ thing.

            I’ve been staying away from people in general although I’m sure I’ve been near people who are vaxxed in the store, etc.

            So far no issues.

          • Night Owl October 26, 2021 at 4:47 pm #

            Yes, I found the part about the spraying of the spike protein pretty insightful. It could explain why there was some mild illness that they then piggybacked onto the flu stats. The timing fit.

            I also found it interesting as at the start of the nonsense, those cities were the subject of almost comical 24/7 fear porn.

            If one goes back and reviews the videos out of Wuhan, it looks like something out of a B-grade horror film. Welding people in apartments, people “dying” mid-run in the street, spraying a substance randomly across highways, teams of moonsuited men lassoing people and spraying them down, etc.

            The Bergamo videos were pretty silly too, but the Wuhan stuff was so over the top.

            A fun fact: most of the Wuhan videos have been memory holed. There are a few compliations floating around from some savvy observers, but the official channels seem to have nothing.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 26, 2021 at 5:01 pm #

            Just the existence of those videos was enough to tell me what a hoax this all is. Then in NYC, they were showing the spot where they put the homeless/family-less deceased. Where they always have. But suddenly it was “OH MY GOD LOOK AT ALL THE DEAD COVID VICTIMS!!!” So ridiculous.

            Then the TikTok dancing started…

          Nightowl, do you have a link to the Pfizer evidence on that? I looked before without success. It would be helpful as evidence for other people.

          A link to the second point too would be useful if you have one.

        It is truly incredible to watch what those four years did to the brains of a good chunk of the population. I never would have thought that some would fall so far simply due to dumb propaganda, but boy was I wrong.

    In related news, Faux News Network reports that the legendary blogger known as ‘Q. Shtick’ was rescued from his Piscataway home last night while busy typing comments on the Kunstler blog. Rescuers had to command the aging bloger to “put down the keyboard” as the flood waters lapped at his feet, which he finally did only reluctantly, only to be assaulted by the atrocious grammar of his rescuers. “I’m grateful for the rescue, of course, but these guys speak even worse than those Clusterfuckers write, which I just cannot abide. Accordingly, I’m instituting a local grammar academy immediately after the waters subside to get a handle on this situation. Even first responder “heroes” need to know how to speak and write properly, else what’s the point of it all in the first place?”

    When I was kid I was once told some turkeys are so dumb they will look up at the rain with their mouth open and actually drown.
    While I never believed this I do often see humans doing stupid shit that rivals this myth.

    The person in this story really might be that dumb.
    How do some people survive?

      Benr, a local character in these parts, from the hills, told me you could cover a heavy string with corn meal and tie it to a tree. The turkeys would eat the string and it would pass through their digestive track. You simply had to go out after a couple days and collect your turkeys. Probably a tall tale but he insisted it was true. When I was a kid there were no turkeys, bears or moose around here. They are all back in significant numbers.

          Natural reforestation, since the mid 1800’s the Northeast has seen the forested area grow substantially. Around here you can walk into any large tract of forest and find old stone walls. The land was once cleared. At the turn of the last century the Northeast was about 50% forest. Now it’s over 70%. We actually grew our own food. That agriculture has been relocated to the Midwest and the central valley of California. Also the ‘burbs have been spreading out, so there’s that also.

    In these days of 2800+ weekly comments on CFN, sometimes many CFNers reply to one comment, some hours later. Nothing wrong with that, but many new thread comments can appear in between. It often becomes hard to discern which comment the writer is responding to
    if the original post is upthread.

    My suggestion is to clarify to whom one is commenting unless it is likely that the response will appear just below the original comment. I use an @——- to avoid confusion.

    I can only conclude, as the world almost universally stood by without many meaningful, powerful or effective critiques or oppositions to 19th, 20th, early 21st century USA hegemony (the profligate resource use, the self-interested and shortsighted meddling in foreign affairs)….I can only conclude that the world is essentially complicit in the gross failings of USA “lifestyle” during this period.

    That’s my belief. The whole world is deeply complicit, and scapegoating the USA is almost always indicative of shallow hypocrisy. It’s certainly a legitimately suspicious presentation.

            The US government has caused a lot of grief in the world, in it’s quest to advance a system that disproportionately benefited the elite.

            On this one, OG has a point. Iran, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, who knows where else.

            Saddam was our pal, then he fell out of favor when he uttered the thought of perhaps selling his oil for…euros.

            The countries that do not play according to the dollar-denominated system are automatically vilified.

            The USSR benefited from a lot of Western help, I think this was deliberate, so after WWII, we would have an ‘enemy’ to rally against, to facilitate the concentration of power and keep America on a perpetual war footing.

            When it imploded, the Americans figured they would loot it. Enough Russians saw through that.

            Unlike Iran, Iraq, Syria, and even North Korea, the Russian government has the resources to make it on their own, and allow Russians to live in a manner they can accept. And for insurance, they have a few thousand nukes. Make no mistake, Russia’s unwillingness to kowtow to the dollar-denominated trading system is the real reason US elites constantly harangue the Russians. Which is quite stupid, as American and Russian foreign policy interests overlap to a major degree.

            As for China, the Chinese Communists are the inheritors of the great Chinese dynasties, and the civilization that gave birth to them, and civilization that 2000 years ago was the equal of Rome–perhaps superior.

            So the Chinese regard the Americans as uncivilized rubes, but possessing a lot of knowledge. Once the Chinese, who marched to their own drum, jettisoned Communism for their version of fascism/cartel capitalism, they avidly adopted many American ideas. They bought into the dollar-system to get ahead, so in their own way, they are enmeshed in it. But they are trying to create a rival system.

            They are handicapped by being resource poor compared to the US–though as irony would have it, they have rare earths and other metals apparently, that richly blessed America does not.

            I got kinda long. I just wanted to say OG had a point.

            While I’ve called out OG in the past for being too hard on America and Americans, here he has a point–the US has meddled in everyone’s business, and for millions of unlucky people, with very bad results, and for hundreds of millions more, simmering resentment.

            And every country outside the US is scheming how to use Uncle Sam, while they Uncle Sam has something of value for them.

            So OG, will it be the European beast, a revived Roman Empire of sorts facing off against a China invited in by the descendants of Persia in the end? Will America be irrelevant? Or will America be like Oceania, our formidable (though ineffective in our forever wars) military coopted by the new Rome? Or is America the new Rome?

    OG: Keep in mind that the USA sold itself to China. China now owns USA fair and square. China has the US T-Bills to prove that USA sold itself to China for 3 decades of everyday low prices.

    Mr M: Canada has ~10% of USA pop. and ~10% of USA WalMarts. What, in your brain, makes you not like USA?

    OG: This is not about Canada. This is not about me. This is about USA running fiat Petro-Dollar ponzi scheme whereby USA is now in debt like nothing else ever. Not even close. Gold medal.

    Mr M: You sure dislike the States, huh? Now Canada and USA are enemies.

    Funny MRA video by Roma. Woman teaches her daughter that a man staying home to take care of kids is a little bitch. So daughter calls her friend’s father a little bitch.

    Roma: If women stay home to take care of kids, she’s strong. If she goes out to work, she’s even stronger. If man stays home, he’s just a little bitch. Women can do no wrong and men can do no right.

    Jarek: Roma thinks men are exactly the same except for genitalia. That’s very extreme thinking. She’s a good ally, but that mindset is also a form of tyranny or at least easily becomes so.

    I thought this one would be of interest to CRNer’s looking for a place to move.
    Most of the article is about those horrible people who don’t believe what their nice governments tell them, who persist in outlandish tales of controlled demolition and unsafe vaccines. Are they terrorists? Should you turn them in or just dump them? Germany has set up call centers for concerned citizens to snitch on their friends and family.
    Anyway, this is one of the scary things Germans have to put up with….”Another woman was alarmed after her partner insisted that they migrate to Paraíso Verde, a Paraguayan community offering newcomers a life “outside of the ‘matrix’ ” without 5G, chemtrails, and mandatory vaccinations”

      That article is just incredible. And scary.

      ““Anyone who is affected by conspiracy beliefs or is in danger of losing close relatives should find open ears and advice from the state and churches,” ”

            Now that you recognize they are lying abut covid and vaccines for some nefarious purpose what is your outlook on Anthropogenic global warming or what is now being called catastrophic climate change?

            Do you think they could have an agenda that does not line up with reality and are lying about much of this as well?

          • GreenAlba October 26, 2021 at 7:27 pm #

            I’ve said what I think about that several times, benr. I have no reason to think AGW isn’t happening. I read an account of the history of the discovery of the phenomenon, long before it was talked about by the media.

            I see no contradiction between accepting the consensus on climate science and agreeing that it has been co-opted to exert more control over populations.

            I also think the emphasis on climate change is being used to deflect attention from the issue of energy penury. To me they are two sides of the same coin.

            There are parallels with energy penury. Just because the globalist PTB want to stop people using fossil fuels doesn’t mean we aren’t running out of fossil fuels.

            But I’m just telling you what I think. What I know would fit on the back of postage stamp.

            And (for the 10th time) AGW and climate change aren’t the same thing. One is a consequence of the other. That’s one of the things on the back of the postage stamp. 🙂

        Why did Jane Eyre fall in love with the mysterious, distant owner of the estate and not the mysterious, distant butler or stable boy? Maybe for the same reason you married a doctor and not the elevator operator?

        • GreenAlba October 26, 2021 at 8:22 pm #

          I’ve never been asked out by an elevator operator. In fact I don’t know when I last saw one – we have buttons in our lifts, not operators. Where do you think I shop – Fortnum & Mason?

          What a pathetic attempt at putting someone down. What’s your problem?

          The ‘doctor’ moved into my house with nothing but the shirt on his back. Also I’m not much of a socialite, and he’s a hermit, so I’m not sure who I’d be hoping to impress.

          Jane only married Mr Rochester when he was half blind and most of his house had burned down.

          It’s a long time since I read the book – I don’t recall if he had a mysterious, distant butler or stable boy.

          I could think that your problem is that you have a lot more reverence for doctors than I have. But that doesn’t seem likely.

          • Jarek October 27, 2021 at 11:32 am #

            I saw a great old movie where a bunch of British upper crust are shipwrecked along with a few menials. The Butler emerges as a great Magister, a Man of all Men. He can do everything while the Elite can do nothing. He becomes the Leader. The young Jane type falls in love with him of course. Then a ship appears and they set a watch fire. The ship turns (as the World Turns – an old soap opera). The Butler disappears and reappears wearing his old butler uniform, all stiff and deferential. Jane breaks into tears.

            Maybe you should have asked the seeming epsilon moron elevator boy out for a date. He couldn’t ask you and you’re equal and everything….

          • GreenAlba October 27, 2021 at 1:24 pm #

            Without looking it up, I imagine you mean The Admirable Crichton. I don’t recall anything of the story other than the shipwreck and the butler’s admirable qualities.

            If we are in the realms of fiction, though, I could point you to the daughter of Downton Abbey who married the Irish chauffeur.

            I’ve never asked anyone out in my life. Not my style.

            But I can’t imagine going out with a moron, whether elevator boy or a millionaire footballer. It is my observation that most people prefer to spend their life with someone roughly on their own intellectual level, since they’re going to have to spend time talking to them.

            Maybe in your fantasy world women only need be sufficiently literate to understand instructions.

            I remember M Scott Peck making the observation that many American soldiers acquired Vietnamese brides whom they brought back to America. All was fine when the women couldn’t speak English, but once they could many of these marriages failed. What the men really wanted was a pet, not a wife and partner.

        • Anthea October 27, 2021 at 11:25 pm #

          Awhile back, one of my daughters told me a story about her brother-in-law, who I think was in his late twenties at the time, who used to work at Dollar General in a nearby town.

          The brother-in-law asked a co-worker for a date. She replied, “To be honest, you are not datable. You live with your mother, you don’t have a car or a driver’s license, and your mother drives you to work and picks you up.” (I assume the guy’s mother would be driving them to their movie date–or that the guy expected his co-worker to drive them. Or maybe he was planning to take her to Sonic on his bicycle.)

          Marriage is the structure for providing a secure economic and social foundation for raising children. The male role in marriage is properly to be the provider and protector. This is not a job for adult children, or for men without goals and ambitions to build a future. Women will reject low-status males for pretty much the same reason that they won’t marry a retarded guy living in a group home.

          There are some men–and some women–who are simply not marriage material. Men too will generally have a baseline of some kind, so that women who don’t meet certain minimal standards cannot be considered as marital prospects. A man working at an office job, however lowly, will probably not seek to marry the cleaning lady, even if she’s pretty cute. He is also probably not interested in welfare moms or in women who are distinctly lower class, uneducated, and vulgar.

          One of my other daughters dated a young man for awhile, who had a pretty well paid job in a hospital. She was 27 at the time. He had not interest in ever owning a home. What he wanted to do was to quit his current job and go to college (forfour years) to become a schoolteacher. My daughter did the math on this plan and pointed out that by the time he finished college and got a job, she would be 31, and she would have effectively put her own plans to buy a home and start family on hold for more than four years. Plus it was pretty clear that he was expecting her to support him while he went to college, thereby placing a financial burden on her that would delay home ownership.

          So she ditched the guy–who rather appeared to be looking for a sugar momma–advanced in her career and achieved a high income, and bought a house. And found more eligible men to date.

          My point here is that women are playing Beat the Clock in the marriage game. If a woman is ever to have children, she needs to find a guy who is able to assume the role of provider NOW, not (speculatively) ten years from now, when she may be approaching the sunset of her reproductive years.

          Another point: men too have a baseline, and to fall below that baseline is a deal-breaker when it comes to marriage.

        • Anthea October 28, 2021 at 3:32 am #

          @ Jarek:

          There are practical realities to family formation (as with the examples I gave above). Baby is gonna need a roof over its little head, as well as a new pair of shoes. And there are time constraints to baby-making. If a guy is not suiting himself to perform the practical responsibilities of family formation by seeking the necessary income and level of employment, acquiring the means to do so (such as a car and a driver’s license), and planning for a solid future, he is not only “not marriage material,” but apparently does not want to be marriage material. (The butler did not have to be a butler. He could have chosen to make something of himself.)

          I think your problem with women is that you are an extreme romantic. I actually understand this condition pretty well, since I suffer from it myself. Love requires that it be actively demonstrated by active kindness, active responsibility, active work, and in large projects like marriage, active planning and the acquisition of skills and knowlege.

          There are Biblical references to this: “And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?”–James 2:16. And one should not only perform good works but, as much as one is able, one should fit themselves for this.

          Romantics are like liberals–or maybe liberals are romantics. They think that good will and the merely wishing that people have all the “stuff” they need and want is sufficient, and that this “wishing” is proof that they are good people. Conservatives are aware that needs and wants are provided by work and responsibility, and are not conjured out of thin air or wished into existence.

          If you find the practical realities of life distasteful, you should take it up with God, not women.

            Your righteousness is everlasting
            and your law is true.
            Trouble and distress have come upon me,
            but your commands give me delight.
            Your statutes are always righteous;
            give me understanding that I may live.
            Psalm 119:141-144

            Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself.

            The child is not dead, he moves his arm and head. Therefore, doing CPR is not indicated. And on top of that, the man is doing it wrong. The idea is to push the chest to squeeze blood out of the heart, then release to allow more blood into the heart, etc. He is pushing on the child’s abdomen and lower sternum, which can cause injury to the child’s internal organs and possible lung puncture.
            But you should never do CPR on a live person. You can cause them great harm even if you do it right.

    Upstream, a poster mentioned actor Nick Adams. What a coincidence, here he is on a Tuesday matinee ‘Die Monster, Die’, a low budget horror movie made in the mid 1960s. But Boris Karloff appears in the film too, so how low budget can it be? Actually, a lot of work seems to have gone into making this production. This movie must have been made pretty close to when Adam’s died (at age 36) and after his Johnny Yuma days.

    Well, at least he outlived his friend James Dean, but not quite as long as his buddies Steve McQueen or Elvis Presley.

    Dr. Fauci’s NIH was also caught funding experiments on AIDS orphans at a New York City hospital in 2004.

    In 2005, the city of New York hired the VERA Institute to form a final report on the drug trials. VERA was given no access to medical records for any of the children used in trials. Their report was published in 2008.

    They reported that twenty-five children died during the drug studies, that an additional fifty-five children died following the studies (in foster care), and, according to Tim Ross, Director of the Child Welfare program at VERA (as of 2009), 29% of the remaining 417 children who were used in drug studies had died (out of a total 532 children that are admitted to have been used).

            Only a really sick fuck does stuff like that. You had to know exactly what you were doing when O.G. said things such as, “Hey Redneck, great job on that video, you’re really funny!” And you did nothing to enlighten him that it wasn’t you.

            For weeks.

            But it’s been apparent that you are a serial liar so none of this will surprise anyone.

            having or showing an excessive pride in oneself or one’s achievements

            There wasn’t a single drop of excessive pride

            Getting back to Joe Bageant, I had an extended email conversation with him on the 10 months before he died in 2011.

            He and I agreed on what a “liberal” was, which isn’t what you’re accusing me of – your hatred and loathing are more correctly directed at “progressives”, not liberals.

            As well, his view of what a “redneck” is doesn’t fit yours, not by a long shot.

            He’d be ashamed of you applying the term to yourself, in all your smug hubris.

          I selected this handle to honor a Good Ol’ Boy, Joe Bageant, a Virginian who described himself thus. His credentials as a “redneck’ were (and still are) beyond reproach. His essays and books are available if you like to see what a redneck who doesn’t buy the red-pill bullshit of the GOP thinks and why.

          In Deer Hunting With Jesus, Bageant discusses how the Democratic Party lost the political support of poor rural whites and how the Republican Party has convinced them to “vote against their own economic self-interest.” The book is mainly centered on his hometown, Winchester.[2]

          In 2010, Bageant published a similarly themed book, Rainbow Pie: A Redneck Memoir. Bageant used his extended family’s experience after World War II to describe the social hierarchy in the United States. The book examines the postwar journey of 22 million rural Americans into the cities, where they became, the author argues, the foundation of a permanent white underclass and comprise much of today’s heartland red state voters.[5]

            have managed to live a couple of decades in the middle class

            as a news reporter, magazine editor and publishing executive. I

            know the “””liberal middle class is condescending to working-

            class redneck culture – which is insulting, but not a crime”””. The

            real crime is the way corporate conservatives lie to my people,

            crew us blind, kill us in wars and keep us in economic serfdom

            . While the term progressivism represent a range of diverse political pressure groups, not always united,

            progressives rejected social Darwinism, believing that the problems society faced such as class warfare, greed, poverty, racism and violence could best be addressed by providing good education, a safe environment and an efficient workplace

            And he thinks I ought to hate progressives ??????

    Well CFNers, here’s where we’re at.

    In Bloomberg, an article concerning the massive shoplifting activity occuring in NYC, Portland, SF, Seattle etc. The author focuses on SF, where Walgrens has closed 11 pharmacies it claims due to rampant and uncontrolled thievery. To make a long story short, Walgrens is obviously a Klan organization, and the only people worried about shoplifting are White Supremacists.

If they aren’t deliberately planning that, they sure are heading towards something similar at break neck speed. Secession is the only answer!

    from his Telegram channel:

    I desperately what to be wrong.

    We’d all have a good laugh at my expense & I’d even lead the charge.

    But I’m not wrong.

    At the very best, we’ve had most govts lying to us for over 20 months.

    This has caused or at least contributed to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

    The world economy has been reshaped, destroying big chunks of the aspirational middle classes as well as their predecessors.

    Billions of people are somewhere between unstable & clinically insane.
    Lockdown, masks, business closures. Immunity, PCR, vaccines, all lies or severely misleading takes on everything.

    The worst part, from my perspective, has been the Soviet level of propaganda, suppression & censorship.
    Not only main / legacy media but almost the entire internet is controlled by perpetrators.

    Where is this all going?

    There’s the challenge.

    Cowards assert it’ll get better in its own, pretending its a natural phenomenon.

    They’re the worst.

    There’s a large group who genuinely don’t know what’s going on, a growing number of whom are stirring uneasily. They sense it doesn’t all add up. They won’t be initiators but could be recruited by an alternative narrative that’s not only plausible but true.

    Some others know we’ve suffered a global coup d’etat but are pinning their hopes on an outcome that just enforces restrictions. That’s just wishful thinking. Consider the ambition of this as well as it’s costs & risks. I don’t believe the return on that can be as limited as restricting our freedoms to fly, eat meat, to drive & to whack on the heating whenever we want.

    So I’m with the catastrophists who think depopulation is by far the most likely.

    It’s depressing, because despite 18 months of attempts to point out the myriad obvious untruths being told, coupled recently with mass scale injuries & deaths, the lies continue thick & fast.

    I have a strong & I think well founded fear of a winter of torture. They’ve already trailed enough things to be pretty sure some combination of these are coming.

    I’m asking for imaginative help.

    If you were me, what do you think is the most effective way to reach a LOT more people??

    Cheers

    From American Renaissance, Bedtime Stories Go Woke

    But while Olfman suggests that the messages of racial injustice and struggle will simply be lost on their young audience, Walt Heyer is adamant that introducing the notion of transgender to young children is positively harmful.

    Heyer, 80, author of Trans Life Survivors, spent 8 years as a woman before de-transitioning back to a man. He lost his job, his marriage and his children in the process and now devotes his life to supporting pre-transition young people struggling with their identity as well as those who, like him, suffer the bitter regret of a mistaken transition.

    For Heyer books like, ‘Call Me Max,’ by Kyle Lukoff which tells the story of a child who identifies as a transgender boy or ‘Julian is a Mermaid,’ by Jessica Love, in which Julian identifies as queer and, with his abuela’s encouragement, joins Coney Island’s famous Mermaid parade, are not only misguided, but they are also dangerous.

    Love’s book is presented as a sweet tale of acceptance. But, according to Heyer, such books are not recognizing a child’s ‘truth’ so much as foisting a damaging narrative upon them.

    Speaking to DailyMail.com he explained, ‘I am absolutely adamant about the fact that this is wrong. It’s psychologically, emotionally and sexually very harmful. It’s like showing a child pornography.

    ‘If we’re to be intellectually honest with ourselves, and there’s an absence of that in all of this, then we have to accept that no-one ever transitions from one gender to another. The only thing you can do is change your persona and so many of the young people I work with never had gender dysmorphia – they’re displaying something they’ve seen, or something their friends are doing, or they’re suffering from body dysmorphia, or were sexually abused, or have mental health issues that a clinician has failed to realize.’

    Introducing narratives of very young children transitioning ‘risks destroying children for the rest of their lives,’ Heyer said.

    He has identified the source of his confusion and pain as a combination of sexual abuse at the hands of a relative and his grandmother’s habit of dressing him in a purple dress in secret when he was just four.

    He said ‘I wish instead of validating me in that she had validated me in my cowboy outfit.

    ‘I’m almost 81 and I’m still talking about what happened to me when I was four. Who wants to live like that? I just don’t want kids to be hurt. This just messes them up. What’s wrong with saying, ‘You’re a wonderful boy?’ or ‘You’re a wonderful girl?’

    ‘It’s not complicated. Let’s not send them down this path.’

    Jarek: Many women, even traditional ones, have always liked to dress up little boys as girls. This must end. Stop tolerating this weirdness. It can be destructive as Walt says, especially in conjunction with other abuses.

    What else could this be but a hatred of the masculine, secret or otherwise?

    • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 26, 2021 at 8:22 pm #

      Yeah the transagenda is all womens’ fault.

      The loony men taking part can blame it all on us, even though as I’ve posted many times, Big Pharma and the medical industrial complex is pushing it and funding it.

      But, no, the autogynophiles are that way because the womens did it to them. Some woman made Caitlin Jenner into the nutjob he is now. Definitely not his own fault.

      “Won’t SOMBODY think of the POOR MEN?”

      Whose fault is the 4000% increase in girls wanting to be men and having their breasts removed? That on women, too?

      • JohnAZ October 26, 2021 at 10:05 pm #

        Yes and no.

        I read once that girls were just as good at math and science as boys to a certain age then a deviation starts.

        The reason, junior and senior high peer pressure, the boys and mor importantly the girls clobber anyone who does not fit the mold. Girls are not supposed to be smart, not supposed to be STEM oriented. Their math scores drop significantly.

        Mary, the chief critics of all things feminine are women themselves. Comparative analysis? Much to the chagrin of many modern ladies, men do not give a damn. All the primping and marketing and money spent by women to compete amongst themselves, a real revelation is that men do not care.

        For me, I married a Tom boy, horse lover, moderately feminine gal and have been infatuated with her for 55 years.

        • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 26, 2021 at 11:09 pm #

          While working at the college, a retired math teacher named Bill and I struck up a friendship as I helped him with some video editing on a project. He had been a math teacher, and he knew that women were dissuaded from becoming good in math when our aptitude is the same as males, but we are steered from it early on (as I was). He did a special class for women who were subsequently terrified of math (like me). I was number 1 in math in second grade, but by 8th grade was staying after school to finish my math homework. I do blame the teachers, who were terrible. In any case, Bill had this class and had a lot of success in getting women to overcome their ‘fear’ of math, and a lot of them did really well. Fast forward a year, and I had to take statistics, which terrified me, but because Bill had told me about what he did, it dissipated a lot of the fear. And what do you know, I ended up with a B. Nearly killed me though – lol.

            Teachers feed into it, Mary.

            Testing through the years have shown collective differences between the sexes, such as spacial orientation.

            However, what clouds the issue is that there is no black and white, small case, of what we are male or female, but a spectrum exists. Individual exceptions to the “rules” are commonplace.

            Remember the movie about the folks who did the math work for the moonshots?

            Female!

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 26, 2021 at 11:34 pm #

            I had a female math teacher explain to me how she figured out how to get around the shitty teaching. Some females who really loved math were determined. I wasn’t, since I preferred English and the arts anyway, but it did give me a stigma, and I’m actually very math-minded in many ways. For example, I am able to draw to scale without measurement, as I’ve done several murals that way. No one taught me. Apparently, that is a math skill, and I had no idea. I can just do it.

            Men are Better at math. We all know that. It’s not even close.

            I dropped out of stats cuz I just couldn’t ‘get’ f prime. The prof just blabbed on about esoteric crap, he didn’t give a shit.I was lost. 6 months later he comes into the place I work for a beer, and we end up drinking together. I ask him wtf was going on with f prime? He says, the more salty peanuts you eat, the more beer you drink, and draws the graph.

            Well, that was easy.

            Mary: I work in the education field (indirectly, thank God!) and there are many great maths teachers who certainly know more than I do. I think the only real difference in abilities is, as in the hard sciences, at the top of the IQ range. We men have more dumb folks than women but also occupy the majority of the super high IQ spots. Hence why even today most of the world changing inventions come from men. Don’t take that as an insult – the female maths and science teachers I know are not only first rate intellectually but are wonderful at creating interest in their students.

            “I dropped out of stats”

            The only difficulties I ever had in stats, where when they tried to get us to integrate probability distributions over 3-dimentional objects. One might ask: when would this EVER be applicable to the real world? I’m still waiting for that explanation…

            I took a stats course in fall ’89, EE313 (lucky number!), and I was warned that 45% of the grade was based solely on the final (most classes were 20-30% final). My grandfather died late this term, and I talked to the dean about going to his funeral. The dean told me to talk to each of my profs, and if there were issues, get back to him. All of my profs were willing to work w/ me, except for 1.

            This single prof, an immigrant Indian (5’8, 260+lb), gave me all kinds of problems (I’m guessing he missed his grandparents’ funerals), but I just blew him off (big mistake). I had a solid A going into the 313 final. He wouldn’t let me make up homework or quizzes (0/F’s on those). He also wouldn’t give me lecture information from the days I missed (integrating 3D surfaces). Needless to say, 80% of the final was based on what he taught the 3 days I was at the wake/funeral, and I ended up with a C in the class – the only C I got in college. I suspect that 313 prof died 20+ years ago of heart failure (I had his email/info 20+ years ago, but that’s in M-sloth archives, that I don’t really want to revisit – Linux, bay-b33). He cost me high honors (I still graduated w/ honors, from a top 2 engr university in EE [top 3 in engr]). I prolly should have made a stink about it w/ the dean, but F* it – at that time they were all trolling for grad students, and I made it apparent I was ‘leaving’ to pay the bills…

            I spent the next decade doing nothing but stats – paired comparisons, sigma control violations, and 3-variable factoral splits (2 sigma corners). One of the worst 4 teachers I ever had in my life (the other 3 are for another story-time).

      Or are saying women are never at fault for anything, ever?

            Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, women get the absolute shit end of the transagenda stick.

            I know because I’ve been fighting it for 4 years or so – with very LITTLE help from any men! Where are you guys???

            Women want the autogynophile trans out of our bathrooms, prisons, shelters, lockerrooms, and remember that’s where your daughters and grand daughters go. You want intact men in our spaces? Really? If not, you’re on my side. If not, you are on the the side of the wokies.

            Fact: WOmen are the ones fighting the trans agenda, on the front lines. This is why when Jarek posts stuff about opposing the trans agenda, but then puts it on women, he’s full of absolute shit. I have friends travelling the country, protesting the laws allowing any man to identify as a woman in order to get into prisons. Women have already been assaulted. Same with women’s shelters, etc.

            Men are doing NOTHING compared to women on this issue. So if I get sarcastic at Jarek for trying to put the blame on women, I am justified. What is he doing? Bupkiss.

            Aha!

            Trans, is this what all the arguing is about.

            Trans, the result of f’ed up parents on their girls.

            Trans, the result of the demeaning of girls in jr. and Sr. High.
            Unfortunately, much of the “competition” comes from other girls.

            Men have been competing with men since there were men for the ladies. Look around, it is nature’s way.

            Women have been competing with women just as long for the “attention” of men. The entire fashion, cosmetic etc industries are based on it.

            Trans, girls want to be boys and vice versa. Why?

            To be the best at women’s sports instead of a dud at men’s.

            To be the sons of parents disappointed in their daughters and vice versa.

            To try to be a man because men are better than women and have better life prospects

            To get off going into girl’s facilities.

            Because you are physically a sex but hormonally another.

            All of these are mental illnesses. The gist being folks are unhappy with themselves and want to be someone different.

            The half way men are sick. Give me estrogen, grow me some boobs, put me in a dress and call me a girl. Right? How about you do not participate in any female activities until your male wherewithal is removed. When you have to sit to pee, you get to use the ladies room. And no sports.

            Quit treating these deviants to normality as normal, they are not. In the case of the boys and girls in grade school that are involved, their parents should be tried for child abuse. These kids do not even identify as one or the other until they are 8 or so. So parents who try to force kids to be the opposite are guilty.

            How is that, Mary? And you gentlemen that think that Trans is okay, uh huh?

            Every human has a dog in this fight.
            The attack is not just on women and children, it is on language (which should get Q in the fight) and reality itself.
            The ultimate in totalitarianism is to force humans to say that they see something they do not see.
            In 1984 Winston is forced to say he sees 5 fingers, when he knows he sees 4.
            In Star Trek Captain Picard is forced to do something similar with lights.
            In the US and other western countries today, humans are forced to look at men in dresses and say that they see women.

            Of course you have a right to your spaces. I am talking about locker rooms, showers,spas, barracks, bathrooms, prison cells, etc. They are allowing men into women’s private spaces and I assume that women can also go into men’s private spaces.
            The thing is that most women know that could be dangerous.
            And it is dangerous to let men have access to women when they are undressed or asleep.

      I am also confused about the direction of the vaxx technology. This year, we heard Pfizer talking about an mRNA shot that would target the Delta variety. The latest was, like you said, just another no. 1 or 2 to boost antibodies after the immune system destroys most of them over 6 months or so. When I chose the booster, I knew I was just getting the same thing again.

      Here is the rub, and it does play into the hand of the anti vaxx folks. What are we doing by keeping our immune systems constantly “charged up”? In addition, what are we doing by keeping it charged up for Covid and/or the flu exclusively?

      Long term concerns that will eventually be answered, maybe drastically.

      Inflammation is very bad for the body, like being in fight or flight in perpetuity. A lot of what I have been reading about that is clogging health care systems may be the result of keeping everybody’s immunity constantly charged up. Think of inflammation as stress, we know what that does.

      The body needs to store its immune memory in memory cells, Bcells and Killer Ts. Not by keeping antibodies constantly at high levels. The way the thinking is going with the jabs is concerning. When a really fast antigen hits, such as Delta, it infects, transmits faster than the normal body reaction can start to kill it. So keep the antibody level up high to offset that quickness. That is the effect of the vaxx.

      For me, I am a moderately old fart. I need my immune system hit to get my ambient guard up to the same levels as you young pups. Catch my drift, The Vaxx helps old guys and gals maintain, but it may be killing younger people.

      No kids, Biden’s crew may be seeding a major health crisis in folks who do not need it in the first place.

      • JohnAZ October 26, 2021 at 10:33 pm #

        BTW, shouldn’t there be someone in the health care research group that will being investigating the possibility that antibody stress might be causing the increase in mortality? Shots that might be okay for suppressed immune systems might be stressing strong systems to destroy hosts.

        • Paula D October 27, 2021 at 12:17 pm #

          I think that your logic is faulty. Continually charging up your antibody levels can’t be good for you, as you recognize.
          Why would you do that? Why don’t you just avoid situations in which you might be infected if a sick person shedding the virus happens to be in the same small room as you?
          It’s not like that many people are sick, for one thing. It’s not like that many sick people go out while they are sick, for another. And you have to be in a small enclosed area with a sick person for a long time before you can possibly be at risk of inhaling enough virions to become ill yourself.
          You were a nurse, right? You were exposed to all kinds of viruses and bacteria, and sailed on through, right? For all you know, you’re already immune to coronaviruses. If not, it’s easy to avoid exposure if you are no longer forced to be in one place for 12 hours.

          • JohnAZ October 27, 2021 at 3:17 pm #

            How do you avoid being exposed going through a check out line when an asymptomatic person passed through just before you.

            Very important right now as the faster forms of the crud give folks minimal symptomology. Part of the change to delta was it took less invasion to get the virus.

            To avoid not being infected, you must stay out of the potential infection zone a carrier is surrounded by. The PTB IDed this as six feet because of coughing, sneezing etc. Baloney, droplets, the minimal carrier, can go 20 feet. IMHO, the air carries varying concentrations of the airborne particles carrying the virus. Probability of walking into a cloud of virus particles changes according to location, you do not want exposure stay away from close very public areas or medical concentration areas like the ER or PCP offices. No one knows if a person proceeded you in a certain volume of air you move into. Plus, concentrations of viruses can occur from lousy HVAC systems in air flow dead zones. Lately, the insufficiency of filtration systems are being Id’ed as a potential problem.

            The potential for a group of viruses to find you varies according to location, can you keep track of everything that might be concentrating the virus?

            Here is an interesting supposition. Long periods of calm weather lower the incidence of influenza for instance. Inclement, stormy weather followed by cold air cause increases in flu and colds.

            What if, again my supposition, calm air is high pressure pushing air away from you decreasing the concentration of bugs, and stormy weather is low pressure sucking in air and concentrating the level of microbes. I have heard that viruses are carried around the world on air currents and some exploration is being done to see if viruses are present in space.

            The disgusting part is so little work has been done investigated the dynamics of the spread of all diseases. Maybe as the virulence of the bugs gets worse with time, the PTB such as the WHO and the CDC might do their jobs.

            I think you are right about previous exposures. I just floated right through SARS one. The difference between the attitude then and now is Fauci.

            Why I did the jabs I have stated over and over.

            74, hx of heart disease and cancer, thirty years of no problems with the flu shot, militate inoculations and vaccines prior to RN school. No known drug allergies, no environmental allergies, no immunological problems. Minimal risk to bolster a old immune system. I took the risk.

          • Paula D October 27, 2021 at 4:33 pm #

            I’m sure you took microbiology to get into nursing school.
            I learned there that disease from microbes depended on 3 things, virulence of pathogen, dose received, and health of the immune system.
            What is this ”airspace formerly occupied by asymptomatic person”? For one, asymptomatic means that they are not experiencing symptoms. Why would you think that someone not carrying enough virus to make them sick would be able to infect you? Especially by you walking into an airspace they had recently occupied? Unless you are in a vacuum, air movement will disperse virions, and gravity pulls them down.
            You heard that viruses are spread in the upper atmosphere just after you heard that they are spread by fomites, as I recall. No way that fragile virus particles go into the upper atmosphere and then come down still virulent.
            Remember when they told us that Trump said to drink bleach? My theory is that they were trying to take attention away from what the DHS director had JUST said before he spoke. He said that studies had shown that the virus was killed in less than a minute in sunlight.
            That whole ”it’s floating in the stratosphere” line was bullshit, just like “the entire Pacific Ocean is filled with virus and the waves are spreading it”.
            They put out SO much bullshit that you pretty much should reject all of it and remember what you learned in microbiology instead.

          • JohnAZ October 27, 2021 at 7:09 pm #

            Paula

            Asymptomatic spread is argued over and over. Yes, people without symptoms are testing positive, or people with mild symptoms, let alone the ones passing off the cold they are having as nothing and going about their business. Heck, if everyone took precautions and stayed home if they felt mild symptoms, there would be reduced Covid AND flu.

            You mention the dose of infection, very true. However, one of the characteristics of delta is it takes less intake of the virus to infect. HOw much? ???

            You make declarations about the viruses that even the experts are not sure of. Heck, I can make an argument like Mary that there is no such thing because they cannot take a picture of it or isolate it. What i learned in microbiology is 30 years old, and obsolete.

            Here is the deal. We are altering the surface proteins on viruses, if they exist, to make them attach easier to the host receptors. Evolution is assisting us with that it seems.

            We can barely discern the details of the virus under electron microscopes yet we can model the Spikes and discern small differences between alpha, gamma or delta strains. And then discern the differences between them in screening tests. then, we can design a molecular RNA model that will cause people’s muscle cells, if they are lucky, to produce S protein copies of the virus’.

            if they can do that, pardon me if I do not sniff at the folks investigating the spread of viruses through different media.

            If they exist at all.

          • Paula D October 28, 2021 at 4:26 pm #

            They make things up, John. You are accepting that the microbiology you learned 30 years ago is ”outdated” in order to believe that viruses can fly through the upper atmosphere?
            Do you also believe that the biology you learned 30 years ago is ”outdated” because now we know there are 57 sexes?
            If you aren’t producing enough virus to have symptoms, then you aren’t producing enough to infect others. I think you are picturing the sick as like the Pigpen character in Peanuts, but recall that the dirt moved with him, it didn’t float in the spaces he vacated.
            It wasn’t 30 year old virology that discovered that covid is killed in under a minute in sunlight, it was researchers last spring.
            Ask yourself why they are keeping that suppressed? Why are they not telling Americans to lose weight, since that is the biggest co-factor to vulnerability after age? Why aren’t they telling Americans to take Vitamin D, when it has been shown that low levels lead to increased morbidity and mortality?
            Why are they outlawing HCQ and Ivermectin when research has shown them to be effective? Why did they give Remdesivir an EUA when it had been pulled from the only trial it was in because it killed 54% of the patients?
            I absolutely agree with you that they should be encouraging sick people to stay home. Why aren’t they? I have twice been in stores where the cashiers were very ill, and it is over a year since this entire agenda started. Isn’t it basic epidemiology to isolate the sick? Why are they shutting down the entire society, and at the SAME time, allowing sick people to work in enclosed areas for 8 or 12 hours?
            This is clearly not about stopping the spread of the virus.
            And the ”boosters” are just another way for them to see how submissive and gullible Americans are, as well as a profit-generating mechanism for the drug companies.

    Yesterday here in Boise, some angry dude went armed into a local mall and killed 2 people and injured 5. Said guy seems to have hated Hispanics, and had some beefs with folks at the mall.

    His first victim just happened to be a transwoman who was a mall security officer.

    The shooter was white with a prior felony in Chicago, and there is a pic of him pointing a gun at a camera in his apartment (one guesses) a stark and empty room, with old blinds behind him.

    I already smell a false flag. Shooter was doing OK after being shot by police but suddenly died today.

      Well , I liked the days when Transexual meant , for example ;

      A person is so desperate to join the cheerleader mafia that the person is willing to commit to a life time of a kind of celibacy.

      The person really likes girls , but as far as that goes , oral is about the best one can do after that fact , since the other equipment has been erased.

      Further , moving to another town , another state , maybe even crossing continents , somehow forging a new identity , AND RELIGIOUSLY KEEPING YOUR MOUTH SHUT ,

      because , after all ; Fitting in , and the price of admission to the Girl Scouts.

      You’re paying for a different choice , a different set of options.

      But there is , or should be , I think , a price to be paid for everything , and compromise is a virtue in itself.

      Anyway —

      False Flag ?

      You bet , at least in my view.

      These days ,

      ” I want equality ! — I want respect ! — and , I want my rights ! ”

      REALLY means — fully 90% of the time —

      ” Gimme more privileges ! ”

      ” Gimme more power ! ”

      And I say , ” MORE ” , because , again , fully 90% of the time ,

      it’s people who already have those things !

      Do I respect it ?

      Not one iota.

      Fuck ’em.

      By the way , I don’t know the details of the case , but superficially it looks again like the usual spinning of things around completely backwards .

      The salient points are supposed to be that it was a guy , white , partial to Western culture , partial to guns.

      That is , the POINT IS that your demographic , or stereotype , IS THE point.

      Not any issue.

      Granted , there are occasions when people shoot people for , or on account of , issues.

      In plenty of cases though , if you WANT to shoot people , really , ANY reason , cause , or pretext would serve as well as any other for the purpose.

      Like the gun thing ;

      My contrary assumption is that when it comes to the issue of arms and self defense , our killer really has much more in common with Joe Biden , say ,

      very little or nothing at all in common with such as myself who would hand out automatic weapons to home – schooled teens and Tex – Mex fruit – pickers.

      So the rabbits could shoot back at the wolves.

      Granted , the rabbits might still lose , but why should the wolves have it easy , and lay exclusive claim to a pleasant day?

      Let them have a lousy day too.

    Why is smugness and arrogance so maligned?

    They often accompany correctness, you know?

    • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 26, 2021 at 10:52 pm #

      You’re the one that maligned those two terms.

      I’m guessing you haven’t taken a peep at thesaurus.com lately to see what the synonyms for arrogant or smug are?

      Hilarious.

      Nothing wrong with PRIDE then huh, O.G.? Gonna do a 180?

      Synonyms for smug:

      LOL. After you’ve spend days upon days calling me prideful, you endorse pridefulness as ‘correctness.’ Classic.

      Once again, you prove yourself to be a hypocrite. This is yet another reason why there will be no apology forthcoming. I was correct the first time.

      • O.G. Hawkins October 26, 2021 at 11:28 pm #

        No.

        Being proud of being correct is not harming others, Proud Mary.

        Being too Proud to retract false accusations is harmful to others and breaks the Golden Rule. It is a sin.

        See the difference?

      • O.G. Hawkins October 26, 2021 at 11:30 pm #

        Also, you do understand what synonym means, Right?

        If a person says, “I’m A,” you can’t go running to a Thesaurus and accuse:

        “Oh ya? If you are A then you are B, C, D, E, F & G.”

        Nobody is all of those things in your list from a Thesaurus, ya dope.

        What a pathetic argument from a pathetic woman who never did stop after she said that she did – that was Just another lie thrown on the pile from the lying liar.

          • O.G. Hawkins October 27, 2021 at 8:54 am #

            H the W,

            Thank you for your thoughts and analysis of my defending my name in the Public Space with The Truth.

            You completely misunderstand me. I do not Hate Proud Mary even though she fragged me and refuses to retract her horrific, proven unfounded public allegations that she has levelled against me and my character and my name and my Faith and on account of her sickly Pride.

            In fact, I do not Hate anyone. I do not even Hate Mike Miller or Paul Campbell or Sophie Hills or Leanne Kealy or any of the so many others that destroyed my top-percentile success with their selfish decisions of choosing Wrong over Right.

            No. I Love Proud Mary and am trying to save her damned soul.

            Hate the sin. Love the sinner.

            Proud Mart Really is “a pathetic woman” attacking anyone that harms her Pride. I am not making that up and that is the problem here. I am trying to help her save her soul while she is trapped in 1 of the 7 Deadly Sins.

            You see, I Believe that coddling her while her Pride destroys innocent names with her false allegations would be Wrong for this pathetic woman, those suffering the results of her libelous false allegations and for God Himself.

            Saving souls is not a popularity contest, H the W. Anybody who would turn away from Jesus Christ of Nazareth because of something that I typed is a total spirtual moron and deserves what they will get.

            —–

            You publicly oppose my calling Proud Mary a “pathetic woman” yet remained mute while she called me “schizo” “flying monkey” “hilarious” “hypocrite” with “hypocrisy of the charts” (to mention merely a few)?

            Why is that? Why, do you think, is it ok for her to irrationally publicly attack me with lies and false allegations but not ok for me to defend myself from her attacks with The Truth?

            In my humble opinion, you need spend more time viewing conflict on the basis of Right and Wrong. Of Good v Evil.

            Hint: Often it is the one ranting who has been Wronged while the calm person you naturally side with is, in fact, the evil perpetrator. TruStory

            Victims rant out of frustration from inJustice. Morons assume that he must be Wrong because he is ranting. Again, TruStory

            —–

            FYI – Pride is the most repugnant of the 7 Deadly Sins, imho. There is such a meanness as their unJust corruption crushes their innocent victims with such sick glee.

            I know Pride well. I have sufferred Greatly from it. It is a horrible sin and I will try to cease it when it attacks me.

          • Slugoon October 27, 2021 at 9:10 am #

            OG, I don’t mean to ‘pile on’ but maybe you should take a break from CFN for a while? I’m sure Mary doesn’t want or need me to defend her honour but you do seem to be unravelling somewhat. Maybe just let up a little? It’s not nice having to read and scroll past all this twice a week, I come here for Jim and the clever and witty minds, not these petty feuds.

          • O.G. Hawkins October 27, 2021 at 9:38 am #

            Slugger, since it is Proud Mary that, out of the blue, fragged me 1 day with her horrific and since disproved public allegations that were based on her Bad assumptions of my thoughts and my motives and that she refuses to retract on account of her sickly Pride, perhaps it is her that should take a break.

            I also have to scroll by shit that I don’t want to read on here too, Slugger. I don’t read Kesa Anna, for example.

            It is called “Free Speech.”

            —–

            I do appreciate your concern for my mental health. There is no doubt that my suffering these horrific allegations has ripped open the wounds of other, Greater inJustices that I have suffered over these past 6 years.

            But Believe you me – leaving my name undefended against these horrific, disproven outstanding public allegations would be devestating to my already destroyed mental health.

            —–

            God bless you as you scroll by my defending my name and my character and my Faith in the Public Square.

            —–

            Also, in fairness, I had moved on. Turkeys are not smarter than people. For Reals.

            I’m fine with simply throwing in the odd Truth and getting back to the Covids and US Foreign Policy and Colin Powell and what have you … but you will scroll when the person who fragged me pokes the bear or other people defend her Wrong over my Right.

            —–

            God bless you, Slugger. We are headed into End Times. Repent for your sins and Pray to our Heavenly Father for Wisdom, Strength & Endurance. Our 7 years of Trials & Tribulations commence soon, you want to be Ready.

          • O.G. Hawkins October 27, 2021 at 9:48 am #

            And yeah, he doesn’t make Christians look good.

            Clearly I am not representative of Christians, Proud Mary, Just as you are not representative of women. Anybody who strengthens their prejudice against Christians based on what I say is none too bright.

          • anmariwakaranai October 27, 2021 at 1:47 pm #

            Upon reconsideration, I find the troll fights very instructive.

            Pride is the origin of all sin.

            And Mar, as troll allows Og to illustrate.

            So, though I’ve asked you both in the past to cease and desist in the name of Christ Almighty, now I say, give er!

    Non-okayness has many symptoms. One of these is when people refuse to do what was customarily done before. Why? Because it’s not okay. Like working for example.

    How is it that millions seem to be saying that if there’s a choice between some sort of social support, meager as it is, and working for some restaurant chain or Bezos for lousy wages and, in the latter case, under the thumb of a notoriously (maybe intentionally or maybe out of pure neglect) screwed up payroll and HR system, thanks but they’ll stay home. Seems that underpaying employees is not okay and neither is wage-theft.

    Another symptom of non-okayness is when products seem to no longer show up on store shelves. Explanations as to why this is happening are as numerous as sandflies. Some say it’s because truckers, who get about 50 G a year, and are away from home most of the time, and have to pay out of this small pay-packet for their grub while they’re on the road plus other expenses, and never mind income tax, and so never mind supporting a family, are getting out. Because it seems that a lot of guys are saying the numbers don’t work. Are you willing to work for nothing? Why not? But it seems that this is the expectation by the high and mighty, that you will gladly do stuff not to your own advantage. Since when has this been okay?

    Evergrande going tits up is another symptom of non-okayness. The global system of production and consumption is so skewed as to be unworkable. And when it doesn’t work businesses go out of business. Creditors IOW want to get paid. That’s the whole point behind credit; deferral of consumption for some measure of monetary return ie interest. And then principal repayment. And when that monetary return doesn’t come there are consequences as we’re about to find out.

    Does anyone think that ZIRP and NIRP are okay? Or the legalized counterfeiting we call QE? Or millions of people coming paperless across the borders? If you think that businesses going belly up is bad, just wait until nation states start doing it. Not okay.

    • anmariwakaranai October 27, 2021 at 2:50 pm #

    🙂

    I was never a truck driver , but occasionally had clients who were.

    Some of them could be extremely talkative.

    You would think that when your day starts in Iowa , and ends in South Carolina , you would see a lot of people ?

    They do — via the filter and in the cocoon of a truck cab.

    So some of them really don’t interact with folks much for days , weeks , or even months at a time.

    Granted , some people become truckers precisely because they are anti – social.

    Or , maybe we should say they have a low – tolerance threshold for social interaction ?

          You pegged me correctly.

          It brought a tear to my eyes.

          One thing of a common trucker experience I could relate to in my own experience was ;

          Five caffeine pills / diet pills washed down by a mug of coffee roughly the size of a milk jug.

          And you go to fish out another cigarette and — damn , somehow you smoked an entire carton of cigarettes in one day + five or ten hours !!

          Lol , the fucking good old days !

          — And all of that went on for years.

          Don’t ask me how I happen to still be alive.

            Hey, Wilbur’s, I liked your observation upthread about how some people feel they can call you names or say stuff to you on a screen and not face the consequences. I remember teaching my kids to never do that, not from a car, not from out of reach, when they were old enough, not from a screen. I you want to insult someone that’s fine, but be man – or woman – enough to do it to their face.

            Apparently some grown ups never got that lesson.

    One of the problems discussed many, many times in innumerable magazine and newspaper articles and in online commentary is gigantically skewed distributions of wealth and income. While ‘inequality’ has always been present, it’s gotten to the point that huge numbers of people can’t live. They can’t support themselves, never mind marry, never mind support a family.

    You see such people in ever increasing numbers in big cities congregating in foul encampments and you hear about ever increasing numbers living in their trucks and cars and trailers in parking lots and on residential neighborhood roadsides. And you see ever more frequent rampages through stores where groups barge in and rip off everything in sight. You have grocery chains refusing to locate in some neighborhoods because of rampant theft.

    Clearly it’s a situation of that people that regulate what’s okay or not okay not giving a shit whether people can keep body and soul together in a reasonably good state. And it’s been a long time, decades in fact, since they have.

    So Mr. K asks the question, should the people currently in charge stay in charge? They’re the ones keeping things not okay, showing zero inclination to redirect their energies away from making life better for the better-off and worse for the worse-off. They apparently think they can maintain this state of affairs indefinitely.

    If the ruling elite give no indication of giving a damn about the conditions prevailing among the majority, literally whether or not they live or die, not just for the sake of corporate and pharmaceutical company profits, but because those lives are valuable in their own right, then the sentiment will surely be returned. We’ve seen numerous examples in history of ruling elites overturned for just such an attitude.

    It is a quandary for sure, one that for example that the Russians found themselves in during the early 1900s. And we know how that turned out. And Germany found itself in a terrible mess post-WW1. And we know how that all went. The Romans let in many, many Germanic tribesmen and their dependents who were on the run from the Huns and others from the Asian steppes. Stupidly, the Romans neglected the basic needs of the folk they let into the empire, or proceeded to abuse them. And we know how that turned out. Any modern parallels that you can think of? So how do you figure it will turn out this time?

        I really do enjoy your posts

        • KesaAnna October 27, 2021 at 5:54 am #

          The first thing I ever wrote was a letter.

          Except it was more like a birthday card / Christmas card / Get Well card – type of thing.

          Except it maybe wasn’t even recognized by the recipient as such ?

          It took the form of a comic strip.

          Basically the story was you have this private in the East German Army , and this General. ( I was maybe 8 years old at the time , so I’m not up to speed on gradations of rank. Everyone is either a private or a general. )

          The private likes the general , the private wants very much to please the General.

          But the private’s character leaves something to be desired.

          Like the Private wants to sleep all day and play all night.

          So when the General puts in an appearance , it’s all sunshine , energy , brightness and alertness.

          But when the General leaves the scene , BAM , the Private goes strait to bed.

          That was the entire story.

          It was mostly pictures though.

          For the work of a seven year old , as I recall the uniforms were pretty accurate !

          ( Fast – forward to the present ; I have an entire bookshelf devoted to Osprey Men – At – Arms series of books .
          ( Books on military fashions , throughout the ages , different wars , different countries.

          And an entire bookshelf devoted to old copies of Seventeen, and Cosmopolitan Magazine.

          Both bookshelves are actually devoted to the same subject essentially. Just different guises. )

          The entire reason I wrote it was there was this teacher I was really keen on.

          Why not just , for example , say to this person ,

          ” I like you. ” ?

          Why the fantastically oblique and byzantine process ?

          I suppose , to make a long story short ,

          a combination of perhaps severe Autism , and you simply didn’t do that in the house I was raised in.

          So , yeah , like I said it was really a birthday card kind – of – thing.

          To be sure , it had many distinctly bizarre aspects.

          I’m a girl , the teacher in question was a girl , but the theme never the less is The East German Army.

          ( The Private and the General in question were girls though. )

          We were in East Germany. . But , actually , after two world wars that ended rather badly , East German society in general had a pronounced pacifistic sentiment.

          As far as I know , East Germany had the unique distinction of the only all – volunteer army in the Communist world on account of that.

          My guess is that East Germans found my extremism as jarring and disquieting as any American would.

          Anyway , all these years later I’m still basically doing the same thing.

          My conception of things seems to lend itself best to writing letters .

          I DID write a book once , at least half of it. But then a completed book would have been monumental.

          It was written generally in the form of a history book.

          The narrator is a human girl .

          The year is 2171.

          The planet is now dominated by a new species.

          Not Aliens from Mars , they are related to humans.

          Their self – applied Latin name is Apis Fomera — Smoking Bees.

          Basically , superficially , what they look like ; Imagine Barbie Doll life size , but on the decidedly petite side.

          Average height is four feet nine inches tall.

          Or , simply , a willowy , petite ten or twelve year old girl.

          There are some small differences .

          Except for the thumb , all their fingers are the same length.

          Their eyes tend to be disproportionately large.

          ( Really , believe it or not I envisioned them before , as far as I know , I ever saw Japanese Manga.

          Indeed , the basic concept came from an imaginary friend I had when I was four or six. That’s what she looked like. )

          The biggest monopoly in the world is the Tobacco concession. They are commonly veracious smokers.

          That’s where the ” Smoking Bees” came from.

          The ” Bees ” is they live communally. And privacy ? What is that ?

          One of them is ready for sleep ? Well , this hallway happens to be convenient at this time and under these circumstances , so you’ll see them sleeping in hallways on the floor . And everyone just steps around the sleeping ones. No big deal , and no stigma whatever.

          While with humans you’ll see relatives hugging each other , a mother with a baby in her lap , with them it’s universal.

          They have only the barest degree of a notion of personal space.

          It’s a pagan , pantheistic theocracy.

          Their version of Sunday or a religious ritual is a bit different .

          They stage military parades that can last many hours .

          In preparation for this by the way , Ballet is a very popular leisure time activity.

          On their religious holidays they stage very realistic war games. They commonly suffer accidental casualties.

          Our author was once bed – ridden for about four months because she got a touch of Mustard Gas.

          It’s a bit odd though , because they don’t really fight wars .

          So they have tanks and battleships and airplanes , but also the common infantry weapon is the Flintlock Musket , and officers carry swords.

          The population of the world is roughly what it was in the 17th Century.

          It’s a rough life generally , average life expectancy is 45 years.

          Another aspect of the Bee thing is they are all one sex.

          Two of the most important institutions in the world are the Census Enumerators who go around counting everything , but especially how many replacements each commune , called Standarten , need .

          ( German is the world – wide language , though there are regional variations , like in South Eastern North America Cherokee is a popular lingo. )

          And the Ouslafah ( that’s not German . For some reason they pulled the name out of an ancient novel about rabbits .

          Government in general is called Ouslau.

          The Ouslafah wear pink peaked caps , white tunics , and pink miniskirts. That’s the institution basically responsible for manufacturing more Bees.

          How exactly they do that the author doesn’t know . It’s an exclusive religious order , and she can no more enter their precincts than a man can enter a convent.

          How this all came about is not the main theme , the main theme is THEIR history in the PRESENT.

          So maybe its more like sociology or anthropology.

          But basically humans were control freaks and wanted to make more malleable , docile humanity.

          Unforeseen consequence ; the better human turned out to be a new and different species , and the new and different species empathized and related to itself , not to mankind.

          There are a few humans living as stone age hunter gatherers at the margins of the world.

          A few live among them , like our author.

          She came among them when she was about 3 or 4 .

          As far as she can figure , they didn’t kill her out of hand because she was a kind of novelty.

          Like them she is small and willowy. One subject they certainly know is genetics , so they knew even when she was very little that she would never grow very tall.

          She is a red – head , that’s quite common with them , and has religious implications.

          The Dole — that’s like the Pope , who lives over in Europe in Prague, is red – haired .

          She’s also very anemic because she menstruates like Niagara Falls , but that’s a long story.

          She’s left – handed , like the vast majority of them are.

          Anyway , they keep our author as a kind of pet , or mascot.

          Her life isn’t bad really , actually rather privileged in a way.

          But , for example , every time there are visitors they have to show off their novelty , and like I said , they have scarce any sense of privacy amongst themselves , and certainly not in relation to her.

          So , for example , there is always the one who strides right up to her , yanks her mouth open and peers around in there .

          Maybe French – kisses her to see what that’s like , and laughs merrily over it.

          I suppose the worst part is her life is high stress forever.

          She must please them , and she wants to . They could kill her , and it wouldn’t bother them a bit to do so.

          Indeed , she loves them she supposes ? But after all they do not and cannot relate to her.

          Hard to write , it was after all rather depressing in some ways.

          Why didn’t I finish it ?

          Long story short ; The reaction of some people who read it and saw it.

          ( It was profusely illustrated . )

          The author , again , is human , but even then the winners write the history books .

          It’s written from their point of view ( as best she can comprehend it ) and assumes their view is the valid one.

          And their world is very different.

          So I would say ; Culture shock.

          Some people would put it very differently though.

          And that , frankly , was a bit frightening.

          I may be crazy , but I’m not , quite , that stupid.

            You so remind me, of a woman from my past…….

            She was So unusual, completely unlike any others

            She smoked non- filter pall malls.

            Tall girl, long brown hair, distinct look,

            and being autistic, nights out, would find her dancing

            In front of the speakers at what ever bar we ran across each

            other in.

            We both enjoyed being in the company of each other………

            As strictly friends………. because as we would both agree….

            her Autism, coupled with the personal issues I had at the time

            (1999) would not have made for a good relationship.

            I often, remember that night sitting on the dock at the back of the bar……

            The two of us, pouring our hearts out to each other…..

            It would be the last time, I would ever see her.

        In terms of absurdity, it is funny how many current events mirror the Simpson trial.

        IIRC, years later, OJ even did media rounds for a book titled “If I Did It.” There was one interview in particular where he basically admitted to it.

        If anything it has been interesting to see just how much of the population in any given country is mentally ill.

      Well said Proton.
      In a “collapsing” system, or myriad intercalated systems, which in a very real sense are needed to keep body-and-soul together, even getting the basics for increasing numbers appears to strain the system. **
      (** caveats: here in Ireland, and in much of Europe, the public sector/state, semi-state employees appear not to be effected, almost reminiscent of the Nomenklatura of the Soviet era and context).

      Or perhaps it’s four decades of neoliberal “capitalism” or de facto corporatism, with all that connotes – consolidation of decision making competence, control over resource allocation and a global trend toward centralism? (I’ve always wondered how corporatism and Soviet communism differed, because from where I’m watching, there doesn’t appear to be much if any difference between them, in terms of how they play out in terms of societal decline, if only different in terms of the rate and extent of eventual collapse, with perhaps both being spawned by the impulse to control).

      Now the all-too-obvious merger/fusion of state-and-corporate power? The common factor: control.

      Maybe it all goes back to 1971 which has arguably led to fiat-everything, allied to mass consumerism?
      Interesting to note that the mass psychological operation over the past 2 some years arguably owes much of its effectiveness to mass advertising and marketing techniques developed in the past century, no?
      Not just the techniques but the multi-generational psychological terrain that it’s cultivated?

      Decline of religiosity, significant if for no other reason than for the low time preference, instant gratification psycho-social forces that it unleashed?

      Interesting take on the situation here in the Emerald Isle:

      • Proton October 27, 2021 at 11:18 pm #

        I never thought of the systems as intercalated but that’s really how it is. As for neoliberalism, it seems that its method of enrichment of the overclass was to take decision-making power out of the public realm and put it into corporate boardrooms. We can see the deleterious results for ourselves. Like Soviet communism it will crash under the weight of its own unworkability.

    Redneck Liberal

    I do not think you get it.

    You love attacking people with name calling etc. that trend toward conservative viewpoints.

    You show yourself to be a Liberal, Progressive sympathizer by doing so.

    Remember that these conservatives want one thing, the maintenance of the American Republic as established after the Great Depression, WW2 catastrophe. They do not want American capital and good will wasted on a group of wastrels from all over the world and a bunch of undereducated worthless punks in the States.

    These may be the wonderful people in your eyes, but I assure you, they are in the process of destroying the American Republic. You may hate the power that the US represents, but when your Liberal good old boys have their way and countries like China, Iran and Russia start running the world, you will be remembering the paternal way the US has been carrying the superpower banner for 80 years. Fondly!!

    Remember that all these bad conservatives see you for what you are, an advocate for the destruction of a country they hold dear.

    Matthew 24 : 14 – 16

    And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

    __

    I always wondered what the abomination of desolation was/is. Kinda like trying to figure out the symbolism of Wormwood. Some say it’s a reference to an idol or ritual or something of that nature that would be established in the new temple in Jerusalem in the last days. Yet, the message is for a future world. The body is also a temple unto God according to scripture. So could it be possible that the abomination of desolation is something that pollutes or corrupts the body? Like intelligent, artificial nano organisms? Or a microchip that can scan your thoughts and reprogram you to be essentially godless? Similarly, does Judea refer to an actual territorial location in this specific instance? Or is it a reference to an entire realm simply under the control of Judeans? To me it is noteworthy that Judea is referenced and not Israel. The

      The body is also a temple unto God according to scripture. So could it be possible that the abomination of desolation is something that pollutes or corrupts the body?

      Brilliant!

      Thank you.

    • anmariwakaranai October 28, 2021 at 2:09 pm #

      Both. The body as temple, and the desecration in the temple whereby the sacrifice is removed.
      When they change the words to the consecration, making it no longer the original sacrifice of Jesus Christ, outside of time, so we witness now what happened then. When the Messiah is no longer killed upon a cross, in the convergence of time, it is the end.
      Back to the body. When the Unholy has entered the Temple, and he has already entered the Vatican, (he is not Pope Francis), the desecration begins in ernest.
      Now we have the first abomination.
      Now the second.
      Soon the third.
      The final.

      ‘Bless its pointed little head.”

      (Jefferson Airplane)

      My husband used to be fond of quoting something about your journey through the birth canal being the most dangerous journey you’ll ever take.

      My daughter had to have an emergency Caesarian. She found the whole thing traumatic.

      But there’s an expression here for those who choose them for non-medical reasons – too posh to push. 🙂

      Some women, usually slebs – who probably have a neurotic fear of such things, living in such a shallow world – fear that their men will go elsewhere for tighter (nulliparous) vaginas.

      Which reminds me also of a comment on the breastfeeding issue considered in the same context, made by a doctor I was working with on a paediatrics book many years ago. She said “it used to be the the breast was for the baby and the bottle was for the man; now the bottle is for the baby and the breast is for the man.”

      I wonder if Janos has a view on that, since he likes to blame everything on women, and never anything on the pressures on women that come directly from men, who want children, but, in a sexual context, value women who have not had children.

            That doesn’t remotely answer any point I made, OG.

            And forgive me, but your caricature of women as being good at baking cakes is quite insulting.

            I’m no Einstein, but I made a reasonable living for 20 years using my brain and my organisational and people skills to help various health professionals put together books – including on such important matters as safe childbirth – which I believe added to humanity rather more than baking sugary shit that none of us should be eating except on rare occasions.

            And the reason I ended up being the sole earner in my little family was because there are a whole lot of men not remotely deserving of the mate that took them on. My ex-husband, for all his faults, actually said to me when I left him that he realised it was all down to him and I’d been a good wife and mother (in addition to being the main earner when I was working, before I had my children).

            Insulting caricatures may be pleasurable to those preening their feathers, but they don’t help relations between men and women.

        Excellent comments, GA.

        What women contribute to the world is mostly overlooked in favor of men’s accomplishments.

        You were able to raise your kids and do well in a job that contributes to society, without the help of a man.

        And yet, the cavemen want us to go back to owning nothing of our own, depending on some guy who may or may not be decent, but more often not, and taking care of him like yet another kid.

        Oh hell no.

        That ship has sailed.

        Our society is sick not because women have choices but because of the class divide and increasing pressure on the poor and the middle class. But it makes some men feel superior to blame women somehow.

            Proud Mary is correct here.

            The answer isn’t women suit jackets with shoulder pads, however. The answer isn’t women who can “out dick” men in the boardroom.

          As Genesis says, their desire will be to displace their husband, but he shall (and must) rule over her. She will not rule over herself. And she cannot be trusted to rule over men.

          Og is right: they want to out dick us. Thus the incredible pressure for girls to become boys now. At the same time, masculinity is spat on, so boys want to become girls. Whatever you are, it’s wrong. The Elite have triumphed by driving us crazy. And Mary’s hatred of men was a key stage of their triumph, one accepted by countless women in the West. Transgenderism is the result. Women will be better men than men!

          • Anthea October 28, 2021 at 10:31 am #

            @ Jarek:

            The passage you cite if normally rendered, “Thy desire shall be to thy husband.” I think your interpretation that this means, “Their desire will be to displace their husband,” is a little novel. Normally this is interpreted to mean, “Thy desires shall be referred or submitted to thy husband’s will and pleasure, to grant or deny them as he sees fit. She had eaten of the forbidden fruit, and thereby had committed a great sin, in compliance with her own desire, without asking her husband’s advice or consent, as in all reason she ought to…”

            But, as with many Bibilical passages, including “stuff Jesus said,” the meaning is so obscure that it can mean anything you want it to mean.

            Can women be trusted to rule over men–or men to rule over women? I would say no to either. The issue is not “ruling over,” but whether the male/female relationship requires specific responsibilities of each, which may or may not be legally enforceable responsibilities. If women demand that men fulfill their responsibilities, this would not be an example of seeking to “rule over” them. (E.g., provide for their children–and their children’s mother, in order that she might fulfill her “natural role.”

            I see no evidence that either men or women can be trusted to “rule over” much of anyone. Generally speaking, the idea that anyone should “rule over” anyone is decidedly negative.

            And it is no that women want to “out-dick” men. Women have been forced to assume the role and responsibilities of men, because the men have abdicated from their proper role. It is a matter of sheer existential necessity for women to assume masculine roles and responsibilities. It is almost a given that hubby or “baby daddy” will not be around. Or, if he is around, he will be of negative marginal utility–which is to say, doing more harm than good.

      • Jarek October 27, 2021 at 12:00 pm #

        Incorrect. I focus on women because no one else does. You’re not going to get women taking responsibility for anything on their own. And if men never hold them to account (trained!), they get away with all kinds of shit.

        Take abortion: men who pressure women to get one are to blame. And of course male doctors who perform them. Who else is to blame? Why, the women herself, of course! The womb is the most dangerous place on earth. Now that you’re a Christian, you’re now (right now) going to say unequivocally that you’re against abortion, right?

        • GreenAlba October 27, 2021 at 1:03 pm #

          You’ve heard my views on abortion multiple times, Christian or not. Like Kesa, I won’t be put in the dock by the likes of you.

          You don’t like personal anecdotes – tough, you’re getting one.

          One time when my ex-husband was still just my boyfriend and I was over in France visiting, during my final student year, I thought for a number of days that I was pregnant. In my mind I had already accepted that my Christian parents would pretty much disown me and that was that, as far as I was concerned.

          But my future husband said his mother (a midwife) would ‘know someone’. At the time I wasn’t entirely sure what that meant, but when I eventually asked it turned to be what I thought – she would know someone who would get me out of my predicament. A ‘faiseuse d’anges’ as they used to be called, an ‘engelmacher’.

          Yeah, tell me about men.

            @ gustafson:

            Your statement that, “The demonic mind is the pharisaical rigidity demanding every conception become an adult human,” implies that conception is some kind of wholly unforeseen bolt-out-of-the-blue, going around randomly striking unsuspecting humans and other helpless vegetation.

            The act of procreation is not a light matter. It is a decision to engage in procreation and is a . Without such a decision, there will be no conceptus. We are not wind-pollinated, like field corn.

            To be fully human is to embrace human agency in this and other matters. Kind of like, “Too bad that my dog has fleas, or that my deck collapsed, or that I didn’t get some insulated boots before winter set in. Who coulda’ knowed?” Thinking that procreative acts will not lead to procreation involved a similar line of reasoning, or lack thereof.

            As with other human endowments bestowed by our Creator, procreation is a sacred trust–and much more so than taking proper care of your dog. It is a sacrament.

            Not rib you or anything, but, as I said before, I think your trouble with women is that you are an extreme romantic. (Maybe this is one of the bazillion genders.) Extreme romanticism leads to surprise and disappointment. Even a slight case of romanticism leads to the French diseases of the soul: pique, umbrage, an ennui. (I stole this from Ursula LeGuin.)

            I have no advice for those who are thus afflicted, except maybe to offer up your sufferings for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for offenses against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

            I think it may also help to take the view that you came into this incarnation to shed grace on assholes, and that this was your mission or assignment in life.

        • Anthea October 28, 2021 at 10:00 am #

          @ Jarek:

          Re women being pressured into abortion by men, you are making the same argument that companies make when they demand that employees be vaccinated or lose their jobs. The male pressure on the woman to abort is the threat of abandonment and non-support. So if your employer says you must get vaxxed or lose your job, well, hey–nobody’s forcing you, right? And your employer should also have no liability re ill effects from your vax, including disability of death.

          Another consideration is that many, or maybe even most, of the women who are pressured into abortion are minors under the age of 18. Their responsibility in pretty much all matters is very limited, as a matter of law, thus making any adult who pressures them wholly responsible, or almost so.

          And re your question to GA, I am opposed to abortion. Would I allow for exceptions? I don’t know. Probably if the pregnancy seriously endangered the mother’s life–e.g., with a Type I diabetic mom.

          • Jarek October 28, 2021 at 10:43 am #

            Yes, many politicians are privately against covid mandates but won’t interfere with what companies are doing to people. Just as you are privately against the murder of the unborn but won’t take a stand. Feminine solidarity is more important. I “understand” – and reject it.

            Of course men who pressure women are accessories to murder. Any male doctors are murderers. But you see, that doesn’t let the girl or woman off the hook. Sorry!

            Age of consent? We’re talking about sin here. Being capable of knowing right and wrong begins far earlier than legal adulthood.

            Mene mene tekel upsarin. Your Kingdom has been weighed and found wanting. You’ve just made a great argument for Patriarchy. Thank you.

            Aristotle said many people are slaves. I assume he was talking about men since it was understood almost no woman will take responsibility for anything.

          • Anthea October 28, 2021 at 12:18 pm #

            I somewhat agree that, “Men who pressure women are accessories to murder. Any male doctors are murderers. But you see, that doesn’t let the girl or woman off the hook.”

            In all situations in which a person must make a decision under threat or duress, and in which the right or moral choice may involve great personal sacrifice, that person is not morally “off the hook” if they give in to coercion.

            If a woman won’t stand up in defense her child’s life, what will she stand up for? This of course applies equally to the “baby daddy” in such a a case. (You seem to have forgotten him. He too is morally obligated to take a stand in defense of his child’s life, and may likewise be characterized as one who probably will not stand up for anything.)

            As to the age of the parties involved, and their capacity for knowing right from wrong, it is impossible to generalize. Some young people have been instructed in these matters, and some haven’t. Some are mature enough to foresee the consequence of their actions, and some are not.

            E.g., is a 16-year-old born knowing that, if doesn’t check the coolant in the car, that he may very well run out and burn up the engine? Or that he would be wise to stop the car when the check-oil light comes on, or, if he has a flat, he ought not drive 20 miles on the rims.

            Much of this is a matter of instruction (and maturity), and it is reasonable to be lenient with the young in matters of both law and consience, even if the age at which this lenience is withdrawn is arbitrary.

            If you’ve ever been around any 20-year-olds, you can see that most of them are incapable of thinking much beyond next week, and don’t understand the workings of the world well enough to come in out of the rain. They are kind of like overgrown puppies that haven’t figured out the laws of physics well enough to avoid falling of the front steps.

            I see no connection between any of this and patriarchy.

      Ditto at the Grocery Outlet. I bought one to try…I;d rather eat the packaging it came in…couldn’t even get the wiener dogs to eat it.

      • beantownbill. October 27, 2021 at 1:47 pm #

        My wife and I eat Beyond Beef burgers as we’re vegetarians. They taste a lot better than the Impossible Burgers, but meat-eaters still hate them. They’re made from pea proteins (not pee!). I also like their Beyond Meatballs, which we eat when we make spaghetti and meatballs or have a meatball sub. Yum!

        OK, so I’m a little weird. Never said I wasn’t.

        • gustafson.robert.22 October 27, 2021 at 2:59 pm #

          i got no problem with a veggytarian who has no desire to convert anyone…non-messianic vegetarians…okay, fine. i don’t think its that healthy, but any diet can be unhealthy done poorly. you do your thing

          • beantownbill. October 27, 2021 at 3:45 pm #

            I wouldn’t try to convert anyone to vegetarianism. That’s an individual choice. To be a healthy vegetarian is a challenge – which you can handle. Eating enough protein is the main thing. The important factor in eating protein is that it must be complete protein. Few vegetarian foods are complete protein so one must combine proteins from more than one food source. For example, the combination of beans and rice are complete protein. I love Basmati rice, and I like beans, so I don’t have a problem. I also eat whole eggs, which are the best source of protein.

            It’s important to avoid as much carbs as possible, so I try to not eat much grains. I gave up eating cereal for breakfast. I still eat some gluten-free pasta, though. And regularly eating green veggies as much as possible.

            What’s also important is to realize that big agra food is inherently not healthy for many reasons. Try to eat high quality food. That makes it very expensive. For the two of us, we spend around $220 per week for food, and we don’t even buy meat. I consider myself very lucky that we can afford it, for now. When prices continue rising we may have to adjust our diet. I think we went out to eat only once in the past 2 years.

            Just a note: I’m not perfect, just careful. I’m addicted to sweets and love ice cream and chocolate. It’s always a battle for me to avoid sweets as I am a chocoholic and have trouble stopping to stuff my face.

            “I also eat whole eggs”

            And here I only eat partial eggs? Do you mean the yolk AND the white? Or do you mean organic/free range eggs?

            “It’s important to avoid as much carbs as possible”

            You mean, rice? I heard you could only get the correct protein/aminos from vegetables, if you had something like a pound of ‘vege’ material processed down into a couple ounces (at best)… I’ll stick to eggs & cheese, beans and nuts, and the occasional salmon or chicken… F* beef and pork.

            Yeah, avoid fast food, junk food, processed food, and sweets. And, *DEF* avoid eating 4k-6k (empty) calories every day. (hah!) Aren’t the obese still a protected species in the US, akin to handicapped?!?

            Just stick to dark chocolate, if’n ya must. 😉

        • Rulo Deschamps October 27, 2021 at 4:37 pm #

          The conversation about vegetarianism interests me since I grow and raise food. A couple of observations:

          – As gus says, the first point in not to try to convert anyone. Applies to food and many other beliefs / lifestyles.

          – There’s a lot of sense in vegetarianism. From many different angles. Health. The environment. Economy. An often overlooked one is karma.

          – I raise rabbits for meat, chickens for eggs and meat. Slaughter days are hard. Weigh on me & my wife. Sometimes I need to pour a little Bourbon in my morning coffee just to face the day, something I never ever do for any other reasons. Make fun of us if you want, but we say a prayer to the Earth for the meat we’re about to harvest before we begin, and we also tell our animals about to die how we hope they had a good life with us (they did), and how much we appreciate their sacrifice. An inverse “Ave Caesar, moritori te salutant”

          – I always thought meat eaters should be familiar with slaughter. Do it themselves, or really educate themselves about the true price of meat. My children were present, and helping, at many of these days, from a young age.

          – We don’t raise cattle or pork. When we indulge, we make an effort to buy the humanely raised, free range, grass fed, etc. We avoid factory raised meats.

          – Most days, we don’t eat any meat at all. Eggs, beans, etc, provide enough protein.

          – Some days, we have meat, in the way most cultures have it, as a minor ingredient, a flavoring, a smallish part of the dish. Rabbit stews, for example, are mostly garden stuff – carrots, celery, potatoes – and some meat in the slow cooker.

          – The typical American dinner plate of one enormous serving of meat, with something green and a starch on the side as an afterthought doesn’t make much sense. Probably explains a lot of health issues, along with fast food and processed meats.

          – Never tried the pea-based substitutes. But love a dish of split peas and ham, for example. Lots of veggies in it, too, and some diced ham. This is an approach that works for me.

          – Once in a while I have a craving for a meatfest. Usually as something social, when friends visit – I like to grill. So yeah, those times I eat a lot of steak. Carpe Diem. Of course for many days after I stick to rice, beans and veggies only.

          – Everyone has to find their own balance, what works for them.

            How do you do it? I salute it: it’s not easy to kill. Each one of them is a soul, perhaps a departed friend or relative.

          • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 27, 2021 at 6:14 pm #

            It’s noble that you do it yourself rather than support factory farming, but why not just go vegetarian? It’s super easy and very healthy.

          • Rulo Deschamps October 27, 2021 at 7:03 pm #

            Jarek, it’s hard. Like you say, it’s not easy to kill. In the early morning, the blood on the dewy grass has a surreal, intense quality. One never realizes the depth of the color of blood: unlike any other red. It’s almost like it’s animated, like there’s a soul to it, an entity, something inhabiting it. No wonder it’s such an important element, blood, going back into the mists of time, in mythology, religion, magic, art.

            As for the actual “how”: fowl go into a kill cone, upside down, head popping from the small end. Blood rushes to their head and they lose consciousness immediately, so they don’t suffer when you cut their necks. Rabbits or other mammals, a .22 shot to the back of the head. Also a quick death.

            Mary, I’ll get there someday. But as it is now, I reckon just 10% of my diet is meat, half of that meat I’ve raised.

          • MaryQueen October 27, 2021 at 8:56 pm #

            Is eating the meat worth the psychological torment you suffer?

            That part is what I don’t get.

          • Jarek October 27, 2021 at 9:11 pm #

            Nice, Rulo. Those are very quick. Just like hanging by the trap door method, by far the more merciful form of execution, along with the guillotine. Lethal injection is monstrously slow, but because of its medical veneer, it has the appearance of legitimacy. And those who care for appearances more than reality (women for example), prefer it.

            One of my basic “rules of life” is that if you don’t have the stomach to kill it, you don’t have the stomach to eat it.

          • Islander October 28, 2021 at 8:52 pm #

            I have long wondered why rabbits have never been a serious part of the American menu and farm picture. They are raised for food in Europe.

            Someone around here does raise them, and brought a delicious rabbit stew to a potluck. Actually, I think it was a curry.

            Rabbits seem to be very easy to raise. It is some kind of cultural thing.

            Is it because rabbits have dark meat, and many Americans will not eat dark meat—say, of a chicken or turkey? I think dark meat is much better.

            Of course it is hard to slaughter and butcher animals.
            I would find that very hard. People don’t have such feelings about fish.

            My father used to kill a chicken every once in a while—also, a goose for Christmas. Somehow he managed to chop off their heads. We had not developed any relationships with chickens, never tried to pet them, etc. Just fed them and collected the eggs.

            Despite the vilification of red meat in many quarters, there is evidence that beef and other red meat is the healthiest meat. Assuming an even playing field sans hormones and where animals are fed according to their natural needs.

            I am a big fan of lamb, and I understand that lamb is less likely to be full of hormones than beef.

            People need more protein as they age. Sardines are an excellent source.

    Who is Slo’ Joe not bringing to Glasgow? The following clip is from a Yahoo article when I did a search. They’ll burn more fossil fuel in a week than a small city would use in 20 years. I’m glad to see “breast pump” Buttigieg can get away from the twins for something important. I hope the Scots are laying in some extra haggis.

    “Biden is also bringing almost half of his Cabinet, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, as well as Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan. Former President Barack Obama is also going to Glasgow, where he will meet with youth activists.

    Other U.S. elected officials will be there too, including Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., and four Republican members of Congress who belong to the Conservative Climate Caucus: Reps. John Curtis of Utah, Garret Graves of Louisiana, David McKinley of West Virginia and Dan Crenshaw of Texas.”

      Just wait until food supply shortages result in everyday people missing meals. That’s when the SHTF for real. What do aware people say: We’re only 9 meals away from a collapse?

      • O.G. Hawkins October 27, 2021 at 11:43 am #

        People with normalcy bias will be paralyzed with fear when they see “Normal” turn on a dime.

        • beantownbill. October 27, 2021 at 1:37 pm #

          Yeah, but eventually starvation trumps fear when one’s extremely hungry. I went on a 3 day fast. It wasn’t too bad, but I was really looking forward to eat near the end. Knowing the food would be there when I ended helped a lot.

          In a society-wide lack of food situation, there’s no knowledge of when the next meal will be and that worsens the effect. When I was in college, I read about an experiment where they starved college students (volunteers). After awhile, the testers noticed that many of the students’ Playboy pinup pics on their dorm walls got replaced by pictures of food.

          I could just imagine a guy entering a dorm room, looking at the pin up and saying, “Wow! That banana is something else!”

          • O.G. Hawkins October 27, 2021 at 2:19 pm #

            You are correct. The fear paralysis will be quickly replaced with hunger and then anarchy. Every man for himself initially but then organizations will quickly form.

            Stores of food will be found and confiscated.

          • pranah October 27, 2021 at 2:49 pm #

            beantownbill, I actually started fasting to get used to going a day here, a couple days there, without food–it really isn’t that bad. Went seven days once–that was hard. Did that because I’ve read that Dr. Thomas Seyfreid (?sp), who’s written extensively about cancer, believes a seven-day fast at certain intervals can help the body purge itself of cancer cells as fasting induces apoptosis of abnormal cells. Anyway, that was a bear at the end and as you say, knowing the food was there was like anticipating the Second Coming.

            Coupled with strict keto dieting, fasting helped me lose a lot of weight, too, when pretty much nothing else was budging the pudge.

            Anyway, I started the fasting as a deep prep–to find out if I could go for a day or days, if necessary, without food, and how I felt, etc. Very glad to discover I can, and I feel fine, mostly, as long as I hydrate and get some salt. I imagine this will come in handy later as TLE plays out. I think people who don’t know about fasting, or can’t, or won’t, whatever, will freak badly when they can’t afford the massive amounts of food most Americans eat. Even going to two or one meal a day rather than three meals with snacks might flip some folks out. And of course, one’s food stash will last longer if one doesn’t have to eat so damned much.

            Upside: people will lose weight, like they did in Cuba, after the fall of the Soviet Union, when TSHTF big time.

            Correction: Dr. Thomas Seyfried. Wrote a sadly too-expensive book titled Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, which I lust after and hope to obtain before TSHTF.

            Also, if one’s interested in fasting, Dr. Jason Fung’s book, A Complete Guide to Fasting, is invaluable.

They will gobble up every last resource in order to flip that last burger. This will end up hitting us all at once, like a freight train going over the cliff – not slowly, and we’ve got maybe a year or two (ice free arctic). Perhaps we have 3-5 years, or if we’re REALLY lucky, 7-10 years. We’re talking mass ecocide/extinction; too many positive feedback loops kicking in, all at ONCE.

To which I reply yes but Trump had gas prices down to $2.25 in California in eight short months that has gone up over $3.00 you dim bulbs. Its not about some mean tweets or hurting peoples feelings its about the economy!
    Its about jobs, inflation, being able to buy food, clothes, electricity prices and living life!!
    With this idiot in charge they are even now trying to push people of of their jobs and for what?
    LETS GO BRANDON!

    https://www.oann.com/gop-leaders-americans-are-fed-up-with-biden/

    Republican leaders are standing firm against Democrats “tax and spend” multi-trillion dollar package stuffed with policies that overburden American families.

    “Americans are fed up. They are fed up with the price of gas. They are fed up with the lack of food and supplies on the shelves,” said Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-Ga.). “They look at Joe Biden as a modern day Grinch who is on the verge of canceling Christmas. And they are tired of being told what to do.”

    In a press conference from Washington on Tuesday, GOP leaders said that average Americans are feeling the affects of inflation, energy and supply chain crises, while Democrats continue to peddle a tax and spend agenda with far-left socialist policies. Rep. Ferguson said he believes the most egregious part of the spending bill is a provision that would allow the IRS to spy on American’s bank accounts.

    Ferguson noted if someone spends as little as $28 a month or make $600 worth of deposits or withdrawals a year, they could get caught in the IRS dragnet as banks would be required to report those accounts. He said he can’t imagine a single American, Republican, Democrat, Independent, rich or poor that would want the IRS looking into their bank account. He maintained it’s for good reason as the organization’s checkered past has led to overwhelming public mistrust.

      Pretty much the entire Biden Administration is flying off to the Climate Conference in Glasgow in a few days, and on top of that Biden recently announced ‘Gender Equity Issues’, along with the Weather, will be his top priorities from here on in. IOW Ben, don’t expect much action on the Real World Problems you mention above from this bunch of ideological grifters, i.e. energy shortages, lack of food supplies, rampant inflation and so on. Quite simply, those issues are not going to be dealt with.

      Also high strangeness in the Pacific, with a combined Chinese/Russian fleet circling the Japanese Archipelago like a school of sharks. WW2 was a long time ago and it might be high time Japan takes measures to re establish its armed forces, especially its Navy. As far as Russia and China go, I guess they haven’t heard about our new intrepid 4 Star Admiral, Rachel Levine, all dressed up in his ladies officer uniform, ready to lead the fight to re establish American hegemony in the Pacific LoL.

You get what you pay for, you get what you put up with. That is a big weakness with the “Right”. They believe that the Leftists are just good people with bad ideas.

    Talk about taxes. I saw Pochahantas Warren on the MSM last night talking about taxing unearned income. “Tax the Rich” is the flavor of the day at Joe’s ice cream shop. Unearned income is really no income. Sure Tesla value is over a trillion now. It’s all funny money. 340 PE ratio. Instantly Musk worth hundreds of billions. Yea right, if he sold out today. There goes the value of the stock. I doubt if the guy could scrape up a few billion cash on a moments notice. So they tax him at a trillion unearned income. What happens when the stock drops to it’s real value. Do they give him his money back, They’re all insane.

      Step 1 Printing money produces more dollars chasing good and services. Inflation occurs.

      Step 2. More people need more cash to exist. Indigent people need more from the government. The government prints more money. The government wants more taxes to pay part of the freight. Taxes go up on corporations.

      Step 3. The corporation add on extra dollars to their products and services to cover the new taxes. Inflation increases.

      Step 4. Go to step 1.

      This sorta sums up the late 1960s into the early 1980s. Inflation spirals out of control as the Fed increases interest rates to slow the economy to reduce inflation. The government has to pay more to finance the debt, and wants more taxes and prints more money as a consequence.

      Stand by, thanks to the Biden crew we are off to the races. In the mid seventies, I bought CDs at 16%. Friends were paying 16% on mortgages. I wonder what THAT would do to the housing market today?

      Ha, would I love 16% CDs today.

    Something like 30% of the goods on the hundreds of container ships dozing off the western coast of the US are moldy (and thus now useless). Many of the rest of the goods on those ships are meant for holidays that will be long over by the time they are unpacked and shipped around the country.

    I don’t necessarily view this as a negative. The US needs to rebuild some kind of manufacturing sector, if that means actual necessary things. Think medical supplies.

    The Brazilification of the US may be inevitable. It sure seems like it. However, the creation of local means of production of goods and services is a real way to abrogate this larger trend. To a degree it is happening, at least in the middle of the country. If you travel to many areas in the Midwest, you see many more breweries & small scale food & clothing producers, then you used to. People are using raw materials from closer to home again. This trend seems to be a natural reaction to the last 25 or so years of economic change. I’d love to see more of it. I definitely use my dollars locally.

    • MaryMaryFullOfPride October 27, 2021 at 11:38 am #

      Same, Pete, seeing both the small scale merchants and I’d also rather give them my money any day.

      I recall when I was a kid, that you would spend more money on clothes, and they were way better made, and would last for years. Now the crap you buy at Target is unraveled and useless after a year.

      It’s not sustainable. The old way was better.

    So many news stories these days can be used as allegories.

    Here’s one, (lotsa fun), from the authoritarian CBC site:

    “The Invasive Species Council of B.C. is asking people to stay vigilant and report any feral pig sightings, in order to prevent the voracious animals from becoming too established in the province. …

    She said the animals will revert to their traditional, boar-like characteristics in just a few short generations, with their coats or hair changing colour. Their tusks can grow, and they will also become more aggressive than domestic pigs. They can also carry and spread disease, like feral swine fever.”

    I’m a feral pig. I like it.

    • BackRowHeckler October 27, 2021 at 3:09 pm #

      These feral pigs are showing up in New England now too. Gun manufacturers are making specific guns to hunt wild pigs, in rather large caliber to be sure.

            Around here the coyotes have an appetite for house cats. We never had them until a few years ago. Now there are many around and they are a problem. Fishers also. I hear them all the time. Guys I know, big time hunters, have spotted wolves in the area, and they know what they’re seeing. I’ve seen one guy’s trail cam pics.Also we have cougars now. The state environmental guys insist they are not around but there are many sightings. The state guys are full of shit. I have not heard of any wild boar sightings in the area yet.

    • JohnAZ October 27, 2021 at 3:59 pm #

      Mary, did you read my post where I wondered if continuously revving up the antibody levels in normal immune systems might be bringing on autoimmune or inflammatory responses. It would be interesting to see if increases in RA or Lupus are happening. Increases in heart attacks are a clear indicator that inflammatory cases are rising.

      IMHO, the jabs for people under 65 or so should be stopped to allow overworked immune systems to wind down. Folks with declining systems should continue.

      Could be the whole deal about s proteins may be eclipsed by the body’s reaction to them. If the memory system in the immune system cannot keep up with the speed of the viral infection, we have a problem. However, goosing the antibody reaction may be worse.

      Comment from dg:

      I have a part-time post-retirement delivery job for a pharmacy. Been doing it for a few years. I deliver to every strata of society from the poorest to the very wealthy. Most of my prescription deliveries are weekly delivery to seniors, but occasional customers too. In the spring people were telling me how happy they were to finally get the Covid vaccine. Now, those people are disappearing from my delivery list at a rate I’ve never seen before. They are in the hospital or dead. In the past 2 weeks, 8 regular customers are gone – that is very unusual. I was in a condo building that looks like a regular multi-story apartment yesterday. The superintendent let me in because she was in the lobby cleaning. We know each other as I see her 2 or 3 times per week as a lot of the residents are seniors. We always have a 2 minute conversation about things like her dog, my cats, etc. Yesterday she was really upset because so many of the people in the building are feeling sick. She said, “Ever since they got the vaccine, they started to feel unwell”. She was trying to convince me to get the vaccine in the spring, and was shocked that a person who worked for a pharmacy would not get it. Now she really regrets getting it – she is feeling sick too. One woman who I’ve delivered to since I started can now barely walk. She was fine until she got the vax. Nobody in the pharmacy is saying a thing about this, but the mood is very quiet.

      This is gonna be a Shit Show.

    I’ll add just one post about vaxxing:

    I got my 2 shots back in April, having decided in February to do it. That’s my decision, and I’ll ultimately learn whether it was wise or not. I just don’t know. I was 76 when I did it and age was a major factor.

    But, I’m vociferously against forcing anyone else to take the jab. No one has the right to tell someone else what to put in their body, especially someone’s children. If it bothers you to be near unvaxxed people, then stay away from the public and unjabbed persons you know. That’s your decision. How you deal with things is all on you alone.

    I’m not discussing the vaccine’s (or whatever you want to call it) effectiveness. Just wanted to inform CFNers where I stand.

    • SoftStarLight October 27, 2021 at 4:30 pm #

      I generally agree with this. I’m beginning to think that it’s very possible every election in living memory for everyone here has been completely and hopelessly rigged. What is interesting though is that now people everywhere completely doubt the legitimacy of the election system. So. There is talk about people monitoring and filming the ballot drop box locations. There will be tons more people wanting to get involved in the vote count. There will be many more phones recording the process than ever before iow imo. This may not change anything because the thieves don’t care at all. But I think a few more cycles will totally debunk US elections for even the most disinterested people.

      • beantownbill. October 27, 2021 at 4:49 pm #

        Many Americans already know that elections have become bogus. As I said upthread, they’ll be uprisings only when they can’t eat enough food. Sure, they’ll be many news stories and complaints about stolen elections, but that will come to nought. Who’s gonna act? But miss supper for a few nights, and that will cause an uproar.

        Everyone should reject these farcical elections, but the whole Jan. 6th psy ops is bent towards convincing Democrats that counting votes in an election is “undemocratic” and people who advocate for doing so are “insurrectionists”.
        Just like these dumbasses have been convinced that taking the GMO injectable is a Democrat thing to do, and only Trump supporters refuse, they are also convinced that calling for fair elections is a right wing domestic terrorist white supremacist agenda.

    Modi in India is a complete tool of the neoliberal agenda.
    This is what they are pushing for throughout the rest of the world now.
    “Like 1.3 billion of her fellow Indians, Devi had been pushed to enroll in a biometric digital ID system called Aadhaar in order to access public services, including her monthly allotment of 25kg of rice. When her fingerprint failed to register with the shoddy system, Devi was denied her food ration. Throughout the course of the following three months in 2017, she was repeatedly refused food until she succumbed to hunger, alone in her home. ”

      Her food ration?

      So many Indians are moving in around here entire apartment complexes are being built for them. With a surplus population of 1.4 billion I expect we ain’t seen nothing yet. The way it works, an Indian IT guy is hired by one of our insurance companies, and the local American worker he is replacing is required to train the Indian HB1 applicant, after which the American is fired. Next, the Indian brings over not only his immediate family, but his extended family and ultimately his whole Village! They live 30 or 40 packed into a condo, and they make themselves busy accessing various welfare and transfer payment programs. The older ones apparently qualify for some sort of Social Security payment for people who never paid into Social Security.

      • beantownbill. October 27, 2021 at 5:51 pm #

        Let’s face it Marlin, the system absolutely has to collapse or change (I’m betting on the former).

        You know how the weather here was today. Well, we woke up to find the electricity had gone out. We have an all-electric condo unit with a heat pump. Luckily, the temperature was good and the heat never would have come on anyway. But all our appliances are electric. We have 2 garages with an electric door opener and a freezer in one. I could see all our frozen food melting.

        Again, luckily for us, the electricity was restored after about 2 hours. But the thing is, the whole affair made me think. I know how things will go down and I prepared for it, but while I was waiting for the electricity to come on, I felt very insecure. I found holes in my preps that I have to correct.

        My condo is small and I don’t have a lot of storage room, so I use one garage to store supplies. There’s no attached garages in the complex, so I would have had to go out in the near hurricane force winds and the pouring rain. My electric garage door opener wouldn’t have worked, but I have keys that open a handle for a rope-pulled manual garage door opener, so I could have gotten in, but it would have been a pain.

        The biggest thing is I don’t have a generator. I can’t place a gas or electric one in my condo. Also, there’s security issues because they make a lot if noise, and when the SHTF, people would know I have protection – remember, I live near the city in a suburb.

          A solar generator? How well does that work during storms?

          Maybe a wind generator!

          Can you imagine if everyone had electricity exclusively during Katrina? We acknowledge that the weather is getting more violent as the atmosphere warms, so I would suppose we ought to figure out how to make electricity more resilient in heavy weather.

          Question, do heat pumps work well in Boston?

          Question, per TLE, what preps can you do in an all electric environment?

            If you are talking solar

            Who gets to clean them? Thin layers of dust degrade performance rapidly. What affect will acid pollution have on them?

            Batteries cost ALOT, who gets to replace them?

            Batteries work well for a short time, then lose potency over a long time.

            Solar lasts ten years or so, then gives up the ghost. Old solar panels are toxic, where do we put them all, Love canal?

            What is the no. of sunny days in Boston? How many days in a row without sun at all? Can battery packs run that long?

            Wilbur I looked at your link. The Bluetti AC300 at $3000 has a capacity of 3kWh. It’s got a 3000 watt inverter so will only supply one hour of juice at max load. 3000 watts is not much.My electric use last month was 749 kWh. or about 1000 watts an hour for the month. and that’s much lower than the national average of 914 kWh. A kWh costs 14 cents here. So that $3000 unit holds 42 cents worth of electricity without an input of some sort. Just as a comparison the new Ford F-150 all electric Lightning has a 170 kWh battery. almost 60 times the capacity. That battery weighs almost 2000 lbs.

            In the future, the near future, (if there is one) electricity will be a luxury.

            In my opinion, long-term prep (~10 years post-“apocalypse” – when all our green tech has wilted) assumes no electricity.

            in Paris, France, in 1983, I found out that their schools had unisex bathrooms, when I went to take a piss. – ZrCry

            =========

            Speaking of Paris, in the summer of 1959, right after completing my freshman year of college, our family (parents, brother and me) took a one month Cook’s Tour of Europe. Paris was first on our itinerary. With barely a moment’s rest after landing at Orly we were off to Versailles. After doing the Hall of Mirrors etc. we grabbed a taxi back to our hotel in Paris. On the way I was overcome by a need to dump out that became more desperate by the second. I spotted a restaurant and commanded the driver to pull over and wait for me.

            I dashed in frantically looking for the restroom which, when I opened the door to enter, a woman was simultaneously exiting. Due to my scatological distress I was only slightly taken aback. I ducked into one of two booths where there was, in lieu of a toilet, a mere funnel-shaped hole in the floor. One had to do a semi squat over the hole to do one’s business. I don’t recall the details of wiping my ass or how an errant crap would be flushed away… somehow.

            With color returning to my face I re-joined my family in the cab.

            Sht! (C wut I did there) Bwahaha!!! You know, I’ve pissed on average 10 times a day, and scat once per day, for the past 5.5 decades – yet I have nary a memory of those 200k events that occurred during my lifetime. For example, I can’t recall a single time I did this, while I was in college: in the dorms, at my g/f’s, at the bars (well, I remember one time this drunk was pissing into the sink at a university pub, and the bouncers came in and dragged his @$$ out – but that’s about it). Philosophically speaking, if I can’t remember those events, then maychance they never happened (kinda like the falling tree)?

            The people in France were for the most part friendly (a significant portion of those were foreigners/France-fornicators). However in Paris, they were VERY rude, especially when you knew a little French – the only nice people in Paris were the immigrants (Yeah we stayed in this ‘dive’ in the arab district). We went through the Louvre one week before the major fire that burned it down (prior to that we went through Chamonix, where a bunch of mountain climbers fell to their deaths a week later) – it was as if *DA DEBBIL* was on our tail!

            BTW, either U or BTB/BRH have any idea what happened to Ozone?!…

            Hey Jaz,

            This 2009 drama said 200m crest but 50m is a more accurate estimate result from the SW corner of La Palma sliding into the ocean.

            I heard that it would obliterate everything 12-15 miles inland from the Atlantic shore for 5-45 minutes.

            Montreal should be safe but Halifax. Actually the coasts of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and all of Prince Edward Island would be as gone as Boston and New York.

    • SoftStarLight October 27, 2021 at 7:17 pm #

      I happened to find myself passing through an article on the La Palma volcano last night and there was an interesting take that differs from a lot of the tsunami scare scenarios. Basically what the article said is that the real problem with La Palma is that it could send as much ash and acid into the atmosphere as the Mt. Tambora? explosion in like 1816?. That was when there was a “year without a summer”. So basically the main problem was not a tsunami but the potential for widespread crop failures around the world.

    I’ve been reading some posts I missed, and noticed a lot of mentions about decorating lamp posts with culprits of this mess we’re in.

    I’d be fine with that, except that no potential lamp decorators have a clue where Fauci and crew live; if they do, no way to get past security; in many cases, no idea what they look like; no means to follow them or know where they are now or going to be when they get in their Learjets. And so on.

    What usually happens when certain powerful figures become so repugnant that talk of turning them into “strange fruit” starts looking like a good idea: Rotschilds manipulate govt’s? The Jewish deli owner around the corner gets beaten. Some black school district bureaucrat makes your white child write 1000 times on the blackboard, “whites suck and should die”? Aunt Jemima gets dragged out of her kitchen and tossed into an icy river. Fauci is the POS we know he is? Some hapless, ignorant fool who used to hand out flyers urging taking the shots gets shot.

    Or, to reminisce about the lovely years of my childhood, communist guerrillas ambush an army convoy? A pregnant, artsy, harmless social sciences student who had some Derrida or Sartre on her bookshelf is abducted, raped, tortured, murdered and tossed from a helicopter.

    Because it’s very hard to find the Rotschilds, the bureaucrats, the Faucis or the harcore guerrilla fighters, and bring them to justice. However, it’s the only thing that can be done. Everything else is just finding a scapegoat and punishing it. It’s morally and intellectually lazy, inhuman, primitive and dumb.

    I hate McDonalds. But know full well that dragging Ronald McDonald out to the street and hanging him is not the solution; all I’d be achieving is murdering a poor minimum wage earner in a costume. But, do I know where the owners and directors of McD can be found? No. So all I can do is not eat there, and more than that, grow my own food so I’ll never have to eat there, and share the food I grow and the knowledge to do it with as many as I can so they don’t have to either, and push by all possible means to make that toxic dump go out of business.

    All the rest is posturing and dangerous nonsense, stoking the flames of a fire that’s already raging and getting out of control.

      WEll you have a choice to go to McDonald’s, to kind of disagree with your analogy. We don’t have a choice (or they are dwindling) under the burgeoning totalitarianism that the government’s handlers are pushing them to implement.

      I’d be happy for them to be put in prison without a chance of release, but you do know that the top Nazis who committed the worst horrors got away because they weren’t executed… I am for either, but I’d rather have them tried in a tribunal than just chased down and hanged.

      • Rulo Deschamps October 27, 2021 at 7:57 pm #

        Mary, I don’t want to jinx it, but… we still have a choice to not comply with the experimental shots. If that were not the case, certainly the rules would be different, I think. Many of us would take it as a direct attempt on our lives, as another poster said some time ago.

        Yes, top nazis got away. The point is, did the allies drag random Germans and shoot them as scapegoats for that? No. I know some will be quick to point out that in fact many innocent Germans were killed or made to suffer towards the end of the war. That’s true. Invading Russian armies raped and murdered indiscriminately, Americans shot and mistreated POW’s. War is hell. One could argue that nazi Germany was reaping what it sowed, and that they committed even worse atrocities. I’m with Kurt Vonnegut – in Slaughterhouse Five, he says he’s aware of all the awful things the Germans did, but even then, even then, the firebombing of Dresden cannot be justified. Yes.

        Key difference is that no symbolic retribution was inflicted on random Germans, even on random nazi supporters, for deeds done by their leadership after the war. Eichmann got away. To Argentina. 20 years later, an Israeli team kidnapped him, brought him to justice in Israel, gave him every chance to defend himself in a court of law, proved him guilty and executed him. Not a scapegoat, not another guy who was also a German by the name of Lichmann. “Also German, name’s almost the same, let’s get him instead”.

        You’ve mentioned a long list of Catholic abuses and injustices upthread. I think we agree the Pope is a bad apple, for example. But there are also many humble priests who do a lot of good in places where nobody else will go, shantytowns, favelas and such. Think of the Spanish Civil War of the 30’s. Thousands of Catholic priests, nuns, parishioners and congregants were murdered because one faction in that war, the Republicans, perceived the Church as the enemy, a fascist system, etc. They were not guilty of anything; they were scapegoats. That’s what I meant.

        • MaryQueen October 27, 2021 at 8:08 pm #

          Yes, Germany stood up to the nascent New World Order and paid the price. Tens of millions of Germany may have died after the outbreak of “peace”. Millions from ethnic violence from the Slavs as they fled the Volga regions (so you’re wrong about the civilians not paying), and millions more POW’s in various work camps (Ike killed hundreds of thousands – no shelters – they died of exposure), and millions more from disease.

        How do YOUR flowers grow?!? Heh, quite contrary! Mickey-D’s the SH! – My dad actually owned their stock for the past 30 or so years, and made a friggin’ KILLING ($20/share to $240/share, and a reasonable ~2.5% dividend). I’d never eat that fast food poison, nor invest in their clearcut burger franchises…

        I remember back in the late 80’s or so, that they were advertizing 100% pure American beef – I don’t think they say that NE-moarz. And, to be blunt, the Amazon clearcut burgers prolly taste a hell of a lot better than the factory farm cattle they raise in the US, fed with empty calorie GMO crap grain.

        MM, those are the key questions, and I don’t have an answer.

        All I know is this: the Biden regime is despicable. Would I love to see that lot, the Biden Versailles, given a trial in the village square, tarred, feathered and driven out of town? You bet.

        Would I do the same thing to the neighbors who had a Biden yard sign at one point? No, never. In fact, I’d help them hide or run away from an angry mob.

        Because they are not guilty of anything except stupidity and ignorance. Because I’ve been stupid and ignorant many times, so who am I to cast the first stone? In time, maybe, they’ll figure out themselves how stupid and ignorant they were, like I did, but that’s not the point – the point is, they are not the real culprits. They would be just scapegoats, their house burning, their bodies swaying from a tree, as the drunk mob celebrates.

    Cop26 starts on Halloween, and John Kerry — the Climate Czar — apparently won’t be winging in on his privately owned Gulf Stream IV, no, his official status as Climate Czar entitles him to a full throttle, government provided 747; he may already be there for all I know, laying the groundwork for f#kkng over the folks back home, me and you, the little people. Sacrifices must be made, and Kerry will commit us to making them, dressed up as Captain Planet, it being Halloween night. In all seriousness, I’m looking forward to seeing how the Global elitists running the show deal with the existential energy shortages overwhelming Europe right now, at the same time inveighing against oil companies, coal, and natgas.

  137. KesaAnna October 27, 2021 at 10:18 pm #

    ” Hey, Wilbur’s, I liked your observation upthread about how some people feel they can call you names or say stuff to you on a screen and not face the consequences. I remember teaching my kids to never do that, not from a car, not from out of reach, when they were old enough, not from a screen. I you want to insult someone that’s fine, but be man – or woman – enough to do it to their face. ”

    I have thought about that.

    And it’s a rock – solid valid point.

    Hmm,

    I loved the old internet , and love CFN for the same reason , because , to use a hyperbolically exaggerated example ,

    A 12 year old and a college professor could hang out together for once and neither be any the wiser.

    Or , another way , being obliged to interact exclusively via ideas , character , and impression.

    And what kind of car someone drives is simply irrelevant.

    Another factor —

    Recently BackRowHeckler brought up a case where a guy wrote a letter to officials to complain about the removal of a Christopher Columbus statue , and wound up getting in some trouble.

    My immediate reaction was ; Well , isn’t principal worth going to jail for ?

    Lol , yeah , I know that’s easier said , than done !

    Anyway , though,

    In my old country everyone I suppose pretty much understood that political prisoners were a fact of life.

    You can go to jail for robbing a bank , or you can go to jail for a minor social miss – step.

    And who knows which , until you know ?

    But it seems that in the United States there is the assumption that there are no political prisoners , no going to jail , ” Just because “.

    So stigma is automatically assigned , and a great deal of stigma too.

    And I imagine that could be worse than jail itself.

    Hence I say that I not uncommonly find that in a choice between two evils , the blatant one turns out to be the ” better ” one.

    The ” better ” evil is the one obvious even to a stupid child.

    So I think.

    So , to use myself as the Guinea Pig —

    It seems to me really quite impossible to judge ones self fairly and objectively.

    The will to survive , alone , could conceivably muddy the waters to a hopeless degree.

    Anyway , if it turned out that I was a bad person , or the village idiot ,

    — And I would not necessarily know that myself —

    hopefully in the fullness of time , given my methods , that would become obvious even to the thickest , so anything I say put in a more accurate context ,

    and so no — or at least not much — harm done.

    So I think.

    • BackRowHeckler October 28, 2021 at 8:22 am #

      The incident with the elderly Italian gentleman being arrested for objecting to the removal of the Columbus monument occurred in New London. For the Italian community (which is large) Columbus is a great source of pride, and it was immigrants from Italy in the early 20th century who were behind raising money and getting Columbus statues placed in towns across Ct., and the establishment of little city parks called ‘Columbus Square’. When Columbus statues were vandalized and threatened a few years back, and it became clear the local governments were not determined to protect them (due to fear of ‘The Community’) tough mafiosa types responded and stood guard; this time around that did not happen, and monuments were either destroyed by vandals and thugs, or removed by the city before they could be destroyed by vandals and thugs.

        I get that from time to time – the ‘duplicate post’ thing when it hasn’t posted.

        If you’ve typed any more than a couple of sentences it’s always worth copying it before you hit ‘submit’ so you can just paste it in again if it disappears (it doesn’t always). Mostly I forget to take my own advice on this one.

        Quite often I type something without realising I’m not still logged in, which can happen even if you’ve posted something else not long before. If you have to log in again you definitely lose everything so copying is a good idea.

    In the I Ching, only the humility hexagram contains solely good outcomes.

    Liofan

    The I Ching has 64 possible hexagrams. Every one of the explanations or predictions has the possibility of good fortune and misfortune invariably mixed. Only the hexagram for humility, “High Mountain Under the Ground”, has no possibility for misfortune. Thus the higher we are, the more modest we need to be.

        And sets a blister there; makes marriage vows
        As false as dicers’ oaths.

          Anything done to me was consensual, by choice or by want.

          When I lived in Japan, a doctor who owned a hospital, as they are private there, tried to jump my bones one night as he was my host.
          I threw him down the stairs, am lucky I didn’t kill him.

          After that he set up O mi eyes, (oh mee eyes), for me, as a worthy, setting me up under supervision with the sons of shatchos, (future kings of industry), and a few young doctors. I blew them off of course, what with their tales of swimming in the sea in winter to toughen themselves up, and thoughts of the eternal compression and regulation of that culture.

          Remember the wife of the crown prince of Japan, the lawyer, who started acting out in a scatological manner, when pressures overwhelmed?

          I was born wild and free and fearless but unfortunately learned fear at the hands of abuse. Not from my own family who did have violence going on, but that was before my time, as I am the baby by a long shot. I wish it had been there, for my sybs overcame all fear, or some did, and were able to face life head on because of it.

          I was coddled, and don’t have the scars of early correction like they do, but set myself up to learn these hard lessons later, at the expense of So. Much. Time. Lost.

          But ta for the beautiful poem, and here’s one for you.

          1000 silent dry specks, cold in the damp night air,
          1000 quiet steps, take me to the one that I care for.
          Hushed and hiding in the post dusk, cherishing eternity till dawn,
          Savouring moments spent with the one,
          I am his pawn.
          As the night song came to her ending line,
          I scurried away, my heart as a tide
          I waited,
          For the skimmity ride.

    I was walking the dog this morning and bumped into the postman, Davy. Not our normal postie (Neil) as he’s been off for months now following the sudden death of his wife, which I only found out about maybe a month ago, from a neighbour. I know Davy to speak to though, as the two of them used to come in the same van, and delivered to adjacent streets.

    Anyway, turns out Neil’s wife was a nurse (not sure how that fits in with Jarek’s theories – shouldn’t she have been married ‘up’ to a doctor, rather than to a postie?). Anyway, back in the realm of things that matter more than theories about who marries whom, Neil and his wife have a couple of kids. And the wife had her vaxxes at work, and, at a later date died of a blood clot to the brain. A total mystery, apparently, so I’m very sure that it’s not been logged on the Yellow Card system. It also puts my theory to bed about NHS staff maybe getting a placebo.

    Apparently Neil doesn’t know about this stuff. Davy had it figured out, though. Knew all about the WEF, Gates, Mike Yeadon and the rest. When I mentioned that 120,000 NHS staff in England are about to be sacked for not taking what Neil’s wife took, he was totally au fait about the reasons for that too, and told me what I knew already, that the NHS is being deliberately dismantled to make way for privatisation (in the hands of American healthcare giants).

    So, don’t ask a doctor, ask the postie! I apologised for keeping him back, but he said he was delighted to be able to speak to someone else who knows what’s going on. So was I, needless to say.

    Davy says he knows a whole lot of people who have been injured too, one whose brain is permanent fog and nobody can figure out what is wrong with him.

    • BackRowHeckler October 28, 2021 at 8:36 am #

      “Deliberately dismantled … in the hands of American Healthcare giants” – GA

      That would be a mistake. Living in the heart of Insurane Country, I can tell you these healthcare giants are wobbly, almost entirely staffed by HB1s from Asia, and owned by overseas hedge funds based in Switzerland and places unknown. Yes, these Hartford Insurance companies (Travelers, Aetna, Ct General, the Hartford, Steam Boiler and so on) were established by local Yankees in the mid 19th century, but they are long gone, and any memory of them has been scrubbed.

      • hmuller October 28, 2021 at 9:21 am #

        Some people believe when certain information becomes general knowledge and when the financial upheavals hit, we can kiss the current healthcare system goodbye. I hope they’re right.

          There are some pharma products that doctors genuinely need, though, hm, like antibiotics and painkillers (prescribed more judiciously, of course). And doctors outside of the system presumably won’t be allowed access to them.

          The US system is being destroyed also.
          They want to go to tele-medicine, with computerized diagnosis, and robot surgery.
          It might actually work out better, imo. Instead on relying on whether your particular doctor paid attention in class the day your particular ailment was discussed, a computer can run your symptoms through its comprehensive database. Your chances of a correct diagnosis might improve.
          And robots don’t have shaky hands.

      I think there are more of us than you think, GA, but we’re largely keeping quiet because somehow the other side has gained the moral high ground. I felt this way during Brexit, a total pariah. (Turns out that didn’t matter a jot although I didn’t know that then.)

      I’m having great difficulty feeling sorry for the Neils of the world though. Surely it is just natural selection at work?

      • GreenAlba October 28, 2021 at 9:08 am #

        I don’t know if Neil has been jabbed, Slugoon. His wife was jabbed early on, as my husband was, as NHS workers were high on the original list, just below care home residents and 80-year-olds.

        He’s been on bereavement leave or whatever you call it. Now he’s got to bring up his kids on a postie’s salary, although he’ll have got his wife’s death in service benefit I presume. Let’s hope they don’t make jabs mandatory for posties. And eventually their kids.

        You could call my situation natural selection at work too. Back in Jan/Feb nobody knew about clots or anything else – and not really about vaxx passports for anything other than international travel.

        Davy thinks Neil Oliver is great too. 🙂

        He had also heard about theories that certain places might have been sprayed.

          • GreenAlba October 28, 2021 at 6:06 pm #

            anmari: death in service benefit isn’t dependent on fault. It’s just a benefit paid by your employer (which they can probably claim from their insurance) that I suppose compensates for the fact that you’re never going to get your pension. Doesn’t matter what you die of. When I was working, my d-I-s benefit would have been 4 times my annual salary.

        I’ve had several mystery landline calls in the past week or two, where there’s no response when you answer the phone.

        Not sure if I should be worried!

        Hubby took one such call this morning and I said ‘maybe they’re after me’, to which he asked ‘what have you done?’. i haven”t told him how fulsomely I completed the government’s consultation on vaxx passes.

          Not sure what the difference is, Mr M.

          I’ve just checked and it appears that I was a little ahead of myself. It becomes mandatory for care workers next month, and the Health Secretary has the NHS in his sights after that.

          https://www.politicshome.com/news/article/sajid-javid-mandatory-covid-vaccinations-nhs-staff-direction-of-travel

          But I think Slugoon said a couple of weeks ago that he knew someone who was preparing letters (of notice of sacking) for recalcitrant NHS staff.

        A few nights ago, my husband said something to me that was a totally new topic of conversation, and the next day I got an advert in my inbox for a book on the topic. He’d been sitting with his iPad at the time. A neighbour said the same thing had happened to her.

          My wife and I did a 1,000 piece puzzle with our boy last week. Took five days. He was so proud. The day after we finished I got an ad on YouTube (on my desktop computer in the other room, not my phone) for puzzles. First one ever….slightly conspicuous timing, no?.

          So our phones were listening for content, and then via the wifi signature all devices on the network now had a new ad to push our way.

          They are listening. All the time. Anyone who doesn’t believe so is delusional.

      I’ve understood the same thing from what I have read about volcanoes. I also have seen that concept phrased or posed in such a way to indicate that no amount of carbon that humans put into the atmosphere can compete with the carbon that volcanoes put into the atmosphere every year. The slogan for our counter movement could be “How Dare You Question Carbon!”

    Once a fellow practicioner came to me and asked, “Is there any use in transcending the spirits of aborted babies?”. I said, “No use! You think transcending them will solve things?”.

    The practicioner then asked: But if the child is born deformed or retarded, would he or she not undergo much suffering? Would it not be better to abort?

    I replied: We need to understand that bearing a deformed or retarded baby is bearing one that has come to demand payment of a debt. You owe a debt. By aborting the baby, not only are stopping the debt from being claimed, you have killed him or her. The debt you owed in the past has now been multiplied. In a future life, it will be even worse. Right now, scientists only see what is in front of them, they do not know of the cause and effect of the next lifetime. Cause and effect are linked through the past, present, and future. This is a grave offense.

    Pure Land Master Chin Kung

    Jarek: What does he mean by “transcend the child”? He seems to mean to honor it in death with prayers or offerings. He rejects this.

    Of course one must balance what Chin Kung said with that other Master, our own Islander, who implied that Buddhism means not telling people what to do.

    • SoftStarLight October 28, 2021 at 11:27 am #

      It reminds me of the big debate over down syndrome babies and how a lot of people say they should be aborted out of existence. But some parents talk about how their down syndrome children are blessings and beautiful souls

      • Jarek October 28, 2021 at 11:36 am #

        Yet we kill perfectly good children who could be given up for adoption, what to speak of these ones. And then we wonder why things are so bad, including people?

        Many women feel depressed around the time of their aborted baby’s would have been birthday. This is a good sign, a sign they are not completely dead inside.

        Post Abortion depression is very common, yet therapists won’t treat it or acknowledge it except as a pathology to be drugged.

        I admit the Master Chin’s teachings are very high and difficult. A defective baby could destroy a person’s life or a marriage if they tried to keep it without any help from others.

    “I have sworn upon the altar of the Almighty God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” -Thomas Jefferson

    “To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it… Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’ that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning… one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.” -Milton Mayer, “They Thought They Were Free”

    “Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” -Winston Churchill

    “We wish to remind the world’s political and corporate leaders that the authority of the state and the powers of the private corporation are grants extended to these institutions by the sovereign people, by civil society, to serve the collective human interest. It is the people’s right to demand that governments and corporations remain accountable to the public will and interest.” -The People’s Earth Declaration: A Proactive Agenda for the Future

    “The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth… We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” -John Swinton, speech given while working for the New York Sun, 1880

    “There are periods of history when the visions of madmen and dope fiends are a better guide to reality than the common-sense interpretation of data available to the so-called normal mind. This is one such period, if you haven’t noticed already.” -Robert Shea, Robert Anton Wilson, “The Illuminatus Trilogy”

    I do love the smell of entitlement in the morning. GA can’t seem to figure out that her kind is earmarked for removal.

    Why? Because her generation has collective memories of surplus, and the expectation of democratic control.

    Now, from a thinkers perspective, it is imperative to remove these potential problems post haste given the arrival of long predicted realities.

    While the elite decided to manufacture consent as it paired well with energy surplus, the future will simply be a return to the past of scarcity and hard limits.

    In the good old days, families had 6-10 kids, starting around age 16. Malthus knew exactly what he was talking about. The result was a starving populace, difficult to control, thus requiring draconian measures.

    So the solution was to feed millions to the pikes, canons and bullets. This strategy really flowered starting around the napoeonic wars, and reached full realization in the two WWs.

    But alas, here we are at 8b, and well past peak resources across the board. Oil, coal, gas, iron, fisheries, farmlands, forests, water. You name it, we’ve exploited them to the point of exhaustion.

    Now, knowing all this, why do people continue to discuss personal anecdotes, as if their stories matter? If you had a clue about what’s coming down the pike, you’d be focused on real action.

    We know the why, and we know the what. Big deal, is it a shoe in for success, or does the enemy (ahem, that would be you) get a say?

    This is the fascinating part, the observation and hedging of a world in transition as it confronts a global extinction event.

      “I do love the smell of entitlement in the morning. GA can’t seem to figure out that her kind is earmarked for removal.”

      Given that I have posited on this very thread that I don’t even take my survival beyond Christmas for granted, perhaps you could expand on my sense of ‘entitlement’.

      • GreenAlba October 28, 2021 at 11:54 am #

        Posited was the wrong word. i changed my mind about what I was going to say half way through the sentence.

        My kind? At least 7 billion people are probably earmarked for removal. Including you.

        • O.G. Hawkins October 28, 2021 at 12:49 pm #

          I woke thinking of you, GA. It breaks my heart that you consider yourself a failure on account of your adult children still buy the propaganda here in Oct. 2021.

          You are not a failure.

          Everybody is entitled to their own thoughts, opinions and health decisions. Even if they are Wrong and even if they are our children.

          You are not a failure.

          A women in her 50s who never had children – now that’s a failure! She served no Real purpose while prejudiciously maligning half of Earth’s population as “Death” no less!

          I find it Best if eveyone share their thoughts and opinions but then allow others to do the same.

          And someone else’s mileage may vary and thus you won’t have a thing to say to each other. You’ll “find yourself” only talking to people exactly like yourself or as close as possible – say fans of the same team. Or women who hate men. Life gets very small.

          In contrast, great Ideas become Ideals or Religions, can unite all kinds of people. Cult becomes culture, making possible tribes and nations.

            Both Davy the postie and I got something great out of a 10-minute chat that included anecdote (about a colleague’s dead wife) and a big-picture analysis of what is going on just now.

            Human solidarity is a great big idea. You need to stop belittling people. The only person you’re succeeding in belittling is you.

            I liked you better for the ten minutes when you said you were going to stop attacking me. Obviously the challenge was too great.

            @Green Alba, well said again. Imagine hating any group of people as much as Jarek hates women. I can’t.

            The unhinged glee he displayed in the post of the woman being found ‘guilty’ (before a trial) of causing Alex Baldwin to kill another woman was especially off the charts creepy. Talk about ghoulish.

            Jarek likes to project his hatred onto us, which is also disturbing. It reveals that he has done zero work on his own issues with misogyny and rage. But I find this is typical of Mens Rights Activists across the board.

            I figure he will keep escalating his violent and abusive bullshit until Jim boots him again for the 3d or 4th time. Then he’ll return, semi-chastened, with a new sock puppet account.

      I agree that our overlords have decided that there are too many and they are removing us sporadically. I think that the bigger solution will be the infertility shots.
      Will people even notice the global extinction event? Not if it continues to roll out this slowly.
      As Dimitri Orlov pointed out about the extinction of 9 million Russians in the 90s, people are always dying and people are always being born.
      Most people don’t notice that there are more people dying than usual and fewer people being born.
      In your own circles, it’s not noticeable. On social media, it is.
      That is why they are censoring social media so heavily.

      • malthuss October 28, 2021 at 2:10 pm #

        • O.G. Hawkins October 28, 2021 at 2:55 pm #

          You are correct, malt. The sterility aspect of their mRNA toxic soup is not for population reduction. It is for population management in the future.

          There are plenty of other aspects of the mRNA toxic soup, however, that are geared to population reduction.

          They are clever, ya gotta give ’em that.

        • Paula D October 28, 2021 at 5:22 pm #

          They won’t remove people, but they will prevent replacements.
          Did you ever notice that they roll their plans out slowly?
          The Real ID Act was passed in 2005, and they are only now really tightening the screws with the digital ID.
          Hundreds of millions of people die every year. It’s just that more are born every year.
          If that slows, population will fall, without nuclear war or anything that drastic.

      Now, knowing all this, why do people continue to discuss personal anecdotes, as if their stories matter? If you had a clue about what’s coming down the pike, you’d be focused on real action.”

      The first sentence there is nothing more than a matter of taste. If you don’t like anecdotes, nobody is twisting your arm, or even your scrolling finger. Humans have told each other stories since the beginning of time, and mostly for the same reasons.

      The second sentence, to my mind, betrays your status as a rather dumb smart arse.

      There are people who are in a position to make preparations that might make a difference to their chance of long term survival.

      There are others whose situation means that there’s literally nothing they can do that will make any material difference beyond a couple of weeks.

      The wisdom, as in St Francis’ prayer, comes from knowing the difference. I know my category.

      Perhaps you have heard that people living just below a dam worry less about it failing than those further downstream. The former know that their worrying would serve no purpose. Perhaps they like to tell each other stories. You are not obliged to read those either.

      I am not remotely entitled to still be here at Christmas. But if I am that will be wonderful. If I get another summer, there are simply no words.

        And I retain my right to speak out, even if only from a sense of honour, when I know it will do no good. That is why I let the Department of Health know that I knew what was ‘coming down the pike’, not because I thought they’d say ‘oh goodness, we really shouldn’t be doing this, it’s naughty’.

        Whenever somebody puts forth the argument:

        one need be very careful.

        More often than not, the “if” is slanted to their narrative while the “then” is followed by completely unsound Logic. It will appeal emotionally but leave reasoned Logic far behind.

        “If there were a God, then little kids would not get cancer!”

      • MaryQueen October 28, 2021 at 3:21 pm #

        Well said, GA.

        Telling anecdotal stories is what humans do, practically all the time. It’s how we relate and communicate. It’s actual crucial to our survival.

        So mitchellc says ‘shut up.’ Just like the PTB want us to. Just like Jacinda Horse Face wants us to. Or was that someone else, who told us to stop communicating with each other lest we catch the ‘rona?

        Whenever I see anyone trying to tell us not to communicate, there is the red flag that the person speaks for the establishment.

      Guessing you are not in your golden years. You will be, and soon, like every one of us. We are all earmarked for removal at some point. Eventually death will even feel like a valid option, of little concern.

      Precisely the reason we should listen to the older folks. They have little skin in the game besides passing on what they’ve learned.

        They all, went thru the depression, my dads folks getting the worst of it.

        Not only that but, I was blessed to know many, born before the turn of the last century.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder October 28, 2021 at 1:52 pm #

          Sorry to hear about the depression part…I’ve seen some of that, but also have enjoyed watching some people age gracefully and just have fun with the fact that they’re still here. Acceptance sets in, it’s just a matter of what you do with it.

          I had all of my grandparents until I was 25. Now I have one, my grandma, 97 years old in a memory care home. Tells the same five stories on repeat and sadly has no idea who I am anymore, but she pretends she does…and she’s still smiling and sweet to us in the face of all that. Rare, I know. So glad my son has been able to meet her at least a few times. The pictures and videos of them playing together will last forever.

          I was very lucky growing up, a few major unexpected losses that screwed with my head when I was a kid, but other than that, most family and friends are still above ground.

            Got up one morning, couldn’t feel his legs, found out he had prostrate cancer,

            which went to his spine. Said i will live to be 93 and he did.

            People should never underestimate the effect that parents can have throughout generations, for good or ill.

            My parents also grew up during the Great Depression, and their ethos of thrift I’ve found easy to sustain over my 65 years. I’ve been called “cheap” more than a few times, but I take it as a compliment even though it’s not framed as such.

            Any economic downturns — including obviously the ongoing one about to get much worse — were and are much easier for me to deal with than the many-too-many who spend thousands on spa treatments, super hi-fi systems, elite hookers, maids, international vacations, five star restaurants, and $200 concerts.

            The alt media likes to sympathize with the middle-class getting squeezed, but there’s still a lot of discretionary waste that even the working class will have to learn to reduce or eliminate.

    NY Post

    A furious Nicolas Cage stormed off the set of a film where Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was in charge of weapons — and ripped the rookie armorer for firing a gun without warning, crew members said in a new report.

    The 24-year-old “Rust” armorer — in charge of guns when Alec Baldwin shot dead cinematographer Halyna Hutchins last Thursday — was repeatedly accused by crew members of breaking basic safety protocols on the Montana set of Cage’s “The Old Way” in August, they told the Wrap.

    Cage even walked off set screaming at Gutierrez-Reed after she fired a gun without warning for the second time in three days, the movie’s key grip, Stu Brumbaugh, told the outlet.

    “Make an announcement, you just blew my f—ing eardrums out!” Cage yelled before walking off in a rage, Brumbaugh recalled.

    Brumbaugh even told the assistant director of the armorer, “She needs to be let go,” he recalled.

    “After the second round, I was pissed off. We were moving too fast. She’s a rookie,” he said, saying that it was only after complaining that he found out it was the key crew member’s first movie in charge of weapons.

    Brumbaugh detailed a series of complaints that were made about Gutierrez-Reed, including that she walked onto the set with live rounds or blanks without announcing it to the cast and crew.

    She also walked around with pistols tucked under her armpits such that they were pointing back at people, and allowed firearms to be aimed at people, Brumbaugh told the Wrap.

    Another crew member — who spoke on the condition of anonymity — confirmed the concerns.

    Gutierrez-Reed “put the cast and crew in several unnecessary and dangerous situations,” the unidentified crew member told the Wrap.

    Jarek (beloved fierce one): God bless Nick Cage. God bless Andrew Anglin. God bless all Moonshiners and all Moonshine. It wasn’t Alex Baldwin this time, it was Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and she has to go down for this, at somehow or other. She is responsible. Anyone else? Yeah: The morons who gave a screwed up, entitled kid such an important job.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder October 28, 2021 at 12:36 pm #

      I read that the “cold gun” was delivered, then set down, then everyone went to lunch.

      When they came back, no one re-checked the gun. Sounds to me like someone decided to play a very dangerous game while the cast and crew went to lunch.

      That said, methinks this will go down unsolved just like Brandon Lee.

      • Jarek October 28, 2021 at 1:01 pm #

        If I know my Mango, you’re trying to get her off the hook. It was HER job to check and see that the cold gun was indeed cold. Not much to do all day, so a kid will get bored and not even bother. It simply isn’t a job for a silly kid like her. Family connections.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder October 28, 2021 at 1:10 pm #

          If I know my Yoho, you’re trying to back someone into a corner of your choosing for no reason.

          What the fuck are you talking about?

          Yes, it was her job to re-check it. Almost literally her only job. So? Fire her, prosecute her for negligence, whatever.

          The real question is why there was a live round inserted in the “cold” gun when everyone went to lunch.

        • Jarek October 28, 2021 at 5:09 pm #

          She was in charge. Moral agency, bitchez! But whether she will see justice is another question. People like you, your male allies, and of course her Hollywood connections will probably protect her.

          When women captains crash ships, they weep and disappear. People accept it. They get off very, very lightly. False accusations of rape that destroy men’s lives. Often no penalty at all. It’s mind blowing. Something no truly decent person can accept.

          • Islander October 29, 2021 at 12:08 am #

            From what I have heard about this so far, it sounds as though it was the armourer’s responsibility to know whether a gun is loaded or not and to communicate correct info clearly to the actor the state of the weapon.

            I read that she said, “Cold gun” as she handed the weapon to Baldwin.

            I mention this because there was a lot of testosterone-driven chest thumping over at the Market-Ticker about guys always checking any weapon they are handed, and reeming out Baldwin for not being as much of a guy as they are, and calling for his takedown over this.

            My own view is that an actor has a lot to think about and concentrate on before a scene; he or she should be able to rely completely on the competence of the support personnel. So, if this Hannah did hand Baldwin a loaded gun and tell him it was “cold,” she carries responsibility for this shooting. She is the one who should have double-checked every weapon.

            However, if she was negligent or stupid, that says nothing whatsoever about any other woman and any other crime or anything about any other woman at all.

            Jarek’s constantly fastening on pretexts to rant about the devil woman is obnoxious. And pathetic. And a PITA for the rest of us that he brings his hate-women rants here, to CFN.

      Also read that there were live rounds near the set because the crew was doing target practice out in the desert on breaks. You know, just for fun.

      While I enjoy me some target practice, no idea why they would allow live rounds anywhere near the set of a western.

      It also has come to light that several crew members had quit before this incident due to payment/treatment issues.

      This accident was likely intentional…by someone.

      • BackRowHeckler October 28, 2021 at 1:41 pm #

        I know Mango, its unbelievable. Think of the thousands of westerns made for TV and movie theaters c1946-1970; as a film aficionado I don’t ever remember reading about something like this.

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder October 28, 2021 at 1:58 pm #

          brh – if Hollywood history carries any weight, I’m gonna go ahead and guess that those incidents just weren’t reported back then. Or if they were, it would be a blurb on page 12 of the paper, never to be followed up.

          Or…perhaps most folks were more intimately familiar with firearms from their upbringing back then, so accidents weren’t as likely? Dunno.

          I can see John Wayne accidentally shooting someone on set in 1962 and then saying, “Well, he shouldn’t a’been standin’ there!”

          Then going off to the steak house.

            Wilburs…

            On more than one occasion I have taken the time to explain in detail to friends and associates in Japan, Indonesia, Singapore and other places in East Asia that growing up in Texas very often involved your dad giving you a .22 rifle, usually before puberty, as a mark of his trust in your developing judgment.

            “You’re now a big girl; treat this the right way.”

            And it felt like an honor to be so entrusted, along with the stern admonitions that go with basic firearms safety: “Always assume a weapon is loaded; never point it at anything you do not plan to shoot at.” And no joking around.

            How Baldwin managed to plug not one but two key people on a movie set is truly amazing and appalling. “Joking around” is what first came to mind: “I’m an A-List star so I have the right to ignore or override the laws of time and space; now watch me do it”. Like those two idiots who burned to death in a Porsche during a fifteen-minute break in a production, doing some neat driving around the corner.

            I exempted Thailand from my list of Asian countries. When I first visited Bangkok, I picked up on the careful, watchful, generally polite vibe in the city. “This feels like back home in Texas”. And for the same reason, I was to discover: you assume strangers may be packing heat, and indeed I was to discover that motorcycle taxi drivers, finger food sellers on the street, teachers and even kids would be carrying around .38s or other serious weaponry. There are a lot of shootings, including incidents like fender-benders that suddenly escalate into exchanges of gunfire (a combination of a mercurial personality, males with fragile egos and alcohol), as more than a few entitled, sneering, in-your-face western tourists have discovered to their sorrow.

          • Jarek October 28, 2021 at 5:39 pm #

            Baldwin depended on the director who depended on the armorer (a goof who admitted she didn’t know much about guns) to tell him that it was a cold gun. Maybe they shouldn’t. Maybe the actor who is going to fire should look for themselves. But of course they’d have to be trained to look correctly. Maybe they don’t want that responsibility.

        One can imagine how utterly bored she is. No doubt she is talking on her phone, texting, getting high, etc. What could be more natural than for her to miss the live round in the chamber. She starts putting the blanks in and then forgets where she started (not checking first or counting) and just thinks the live round is a blank she already put in.

    The major problem in Glasgow — other than how to bring down oil and coal companies — is where to park the 747s flying in from points all over the world. They take up a lot of space, and apparently Glasgow Airport is not that big. Not sure if Captain Planet — John Kerry, Climate Czar — has arrived yet; we will know when he gets there. This winter, when gasoline is $5 per gallon, No. 2 heating oil is $6 per gallon, and natgas is outa sight, you’ll know who to blame: Captain Planet (who sold you out) Trouble is, by then Captain Planet will be cruising the Caribbean in his 80′ ft motoryacht, reachable by only marine radio.

      We have a friend in medicine here in Germany, and she said that not only have incidents of stroke gone through the roof this year, but that many patients are no longer able to recover.

      • JohnAZ October 28, 2021 at 4:08 pm #

        Night Owl

        I have posted a theory on why it is happening. Remember heart attacks and strokes come from the main cause of cholesterol deposits becoming inflamed, bursting and triggering the platelet clotting cascade.

        Thinking on it, I believe the cause is the drastic turning on and off the immune system. Whatever the latest crud is, it is fast. The normal memory system does catch up to it until it is on board. So the vaxx answer is to keep the antibody levels up to contest crud entry immediately.

        The problem with a lot of the bad adverse effects could be the inflammation antibodies being activated continuously. I wonder if any data exists to tell what happens when antibody levels are kept high constantly. People who have high cholesterol build up for example in the heart or carotid would be high risk for thrombosis into the heart or brain. Perhaps the increased level of immune reaction acts like an aging process, breaking open the ubiquitous cholesterol deposits.

        It may not be mRNA directly or the s protein that causes the reactions, it may be the immune system reacting with existent problems that causes trouble.

        I wonder if the models include imperfect hosts?

        Interestingly, when I had my MI in 2001, I had a pretty bad case of the flu for the three weeks before. Hmmm!

        • JohnAZ October 28, 2021 at 4:14 pm #

          If I was 30 years old, I would tell the vaxxers to F off. Parents that allow their kids to be poked shouldn’t. Older or other immunosuppressed folks where the system needs goosed up anyway will probably do okay. Folks with auto immune problems should be resistant to the jab. Right now, for folks under say 65, extreme caution should be practiced, especially if you are unaware of your cholesterol status.

      Someone upthread a bit mentioned that he couldn’t remember any accidental shootings resulting in death in the history of Westerns. Other deaths, though, occurred during production..

      During the filming of Sergio Leone’s Once Upon A Time In The West (1968) –see it, it’s great cinema — two minor character actors, in separate incidents, committed suicide by jumping to their deaths from third storey buildings on set.

      I don’t know much about ammo. Is it possible to produce the jacket with a distinctive colour? Green, purple, red, yellow, whatever. Dye Right in the metal before it is cast or later paint-dipped or something.

      Then:

      1) A quick glance verifies what we’re dealing with in the chamber
      2) They could easily ID the shooter from the cartridges in his/her gun. [Note: Forensics would be able to ID the shooter after the Peckinpah shoot.]

      —–

      I Believe that Alec Baldwin had to commit murder in a church. I Believe that the reported safety issues on set were/are diversionary while Mr Baldwin had to do his part for his immense fame and fortune. They demanded that he commit murder in church and he did as he was told.

      Robert Plant and Eric Clapton each had to give up their first-born son.

      Baldwin had to kill a woman in a church. Shoot her dead in God’s house.

    It would be nice if there was someplace where facts could be discussed in a rational and intelligent matter.

    As long as Jim and some commentators continue to cast thinkers as depraved evildoers, these forum threads will keep degrading to mutual comiseration.

    The real breakthrough will be when one comes to realize that the actions taking place today are entirely rational and justified.

    However, that does not then suggest one roll over and just take it. The European powers fighting over global domination during the colonial period didn’t accept the claims of others; rather, they were contested.

    The only certainty is that a future of extreme scarcity is just like how Jim and countless intelligence reports have forecasted. That’s not the issue.

    The big game aspect is who will be whoms “boss”?
    This is my central point: who’s got the advantage, who gets to rule?

    If the people win, and the same exact conclusions are reached, are the newly constructed governments also evil?

      Yeah, we get it. Many here were aware of Peak Oil and population overshoot since JHK’s 2005 seminal book. As a result of that — or, perhaps, like myself, I was naturally inclined that way, never a profligate user of energy myself, never even had kids — we’re automatically part of the solution by way of modest lifestyle. Many of us also have energy-helpful ties to our respective communities, and advocate for those concerns, whether socially or (more directly) politically.

    Right up there with Oz, Canada has gone full-Nazi with their medical professionals, I was dismayed to read:

    https://www.newsweek.com/doctor-barred-practicing-medicine-after-opposing-vaccinations-lockdowns-1643591

    I arrived in Vancouver on the run from the FBI in late 1969, and was soon to find that the RCMP and other such institutions were bound by as few laws and customs as in the USA – or worse, exempt from the purported constitutional protections Americans enjoyed (note the past tense).

    As the amateurish FLQ kidnap / murder incidents in Quebec amply demonstrated, the authorities are ready to crack down, hard, with no thoughts for niceties, when they feel righteous enough. This is apparently one of those times. “Polite Canadians” indeed.

    I now discover that my Sinovac shots are not accepted as genuine enough to be able to enter the country. Since I have determined to avoid the clot-shots unless forcibly held down and jabbed I guess I’ll not be seeing the true north anytime soon.

    • Soul Forensics October 28, 2021 at 3:55 pm #

      From the link:

      “Moore said that vaccine exemptions should only be granted in case someone has an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in the dose.”

      Er …. and how is one supposed to know if they have an allergic reaction unless and until they get the experimental jab filled with those bizarre substances that can’t even be verified, or other substances that aren’t labelled at all?

      But people can’t or won’t think beyond 2 + 2 (which by now equals 5 anyway, as Orwell predicted), so simple counter-questions elude them.

    • Why the heck did you get the Sinovac shot?

      And why have you not simply immigrated to Cuba? You like cold weather or something?

      I have started to fast. This should be interesting as I am a Big man with a metabolism used to consuming calories whenever desired.

      • The next several hours will be a hallucinogenic journey in which you will feel a magnetic attraction to the pantry and the refrigerator. If you can make it to evening time (a stretch) you might want to consider tying yourself to a bedpost; You may sleepwalk your walk to a midnight snack.

        Alternatively, you may hear a strange voice emanating from a bag of chips. You will feel alternatively hot flashes and cold chills. Prepare thyself. You will discover any concept of self-control was persistent delusion.

        You do not have the luxury of believing you have enough self-control to resist a Lil Debbie Snack Cake, with chocolate frosting. Imagine the first, luscious bite, the soft dough giving way, the vanilla aroma, the creamy filling triggering uncontrollable salivation.

        This is a heaven you must not believe is possible for the next 48 hours. Your best hope in the face of temptation is closing your eyes and mind to the siren song of the Ice Cream in your freezer. Your mind and body will rebel, you must be vigilant. Your hands and feet will seem to have minds of their own, running before you, toward wherever succor resides.

        Bind your hands! Blindfold your eyes! Confuse your feet lest they lead you to temptation, that cabinet full of goodies, with each passing minute becoming more and more desirable.

        Recite the mantra, “Lord, though I walk through the hallway in the shadow or death, toward the pantry, let not the box of mixed nuts and savory snacks tempt this weak and humble servant O Lord…”

        In the event a can of whipped cream appears in your hand do not tremble… but cast it out. If you should find yourself cranking open a can of chili… slap yourself across the face. If you should come to consciousness with a full plate of nachos, with melted cheese and all the toppings, while you sit in front of the game, take it to the porch and throw it all to the dogs; this is no business for weak men- this is war, a war in the mind and body, against the most intractable foe…

    If we’re not talking about human exponential population growth, exponential consumption, exponential depletion, exponential pollution, and exponential destruction, we are wasting our time discussing trivial nonsense (2nd/3rd order effects).

    This entitled narcissistic individualism, embracing the 7 deadly sins, is running us down the depleted road of asphalt concrete suburbia sprawl clearcut monoculture desert wasteland/ecocide/extinction. Cell phone, 2 ton death metal coffin guzzler, fast food burger eating gluttonous sloths (ie. mouth eaters). Greedy and lustful to the utter extreme, and pride/envy/wrath emotional tantrum throwing, spoiled rotten juvenile bratz.

    This whole bathroom debacle? Why don’t we have unisex bathrooms here in the US? Is it because we don’t want to expose those frail, snowflake women to the nasty, messy antics of men using toilets?!… Trust-you-me, I have sRs problems with the trannies that self mutilate via needle/knife barbarity – from what I understand, most of them were sexually abused as children – chopping off bits, injecting hormones/steriods, and implanting silicon hardly seems a solution to that mind-f*kerry…

    Oh, it’s the tired old “Democrat-controlled cities” narrative. Well, since you’ve bought into the right-wing narrative that the USA is just an agglomeration of perpetually warring localized fiefdoms, now talk about the “Republican-controlled” rural regions with their skyrocketing suicide rates, decimated small-town and farm economies, drug addiction, poverty, depopulation, and shuttered health care facilities. I’m sure all that chaos and wreckage is somehow Democrats’ fault as well, even though Republicans “control” the hinterlands.

    Once more, if one is completely informed about hard truths, is the disdain for elites rooted in envy?

    Are opposition opinions merely expressing resentment towards thinkers who wisely acted on gaining a first mover advantage?

    If that is so, then who here would hesitate to put 7b to the shot (sword) as long as they were in control, and those designated for elimation were whatever hated groups could be targeted?

    In my estimation, this is how it’s going to down. If a populist group can gain control of policy, would the various mandates be suspended or amplified?

    Once some significant % move past denial, and into a mad reactive scramble for power, the same limits still exist. So, who gets to decide who walks the plank?

    This is where these discussions should be focused. This group can help form the kernel of idea that, like France in 1940, it’s not over until its over.

    Don’t run from reality, embrace the logic, but help forge a union of the worthy.

    • toktomi October 28, 2021 at 8:55 pm #

      @mitchellc

      One might ask, “who is in denial here?”

      First, one must intellectually come to terms with one’s mortality and that death for all us is just around the corner.

      Now, since the emotional self, which truly governs the majority of our behaviors, cannot accept death, the genetically predisposed to survival at any cost among us will deny death and we will negotiate for an exemption. That will not include “a populist group [gaining] control of policy”.

      Now, back up and start over. You’ve not much time remaining.

Or will America be like Oceania, our formidable (though ineffective in our forever wars) military coopted by the new Rome? Or is America the new Rome?
    – Soc-Det

    First off, I want to again thank Soc-Det for participating in an open-minded coversation vis-a-vis US Foreign Policy. I have closely followed US Foreign Policy since the Carter Administration.

    It has been my experience that Americans who can openly face what they have done to millions of innocent people on our planet is less than 10%. The other 90%+ view their transgressions as “necessary” and Justified by their “exceptionalism.”

    —–

    I try to piece together what I know of the World with what I understand of God’s Word. That is, I have no insight beyond my mortal Research, Logic & Analysis. That is, I have not been blessed with vision and these are merely my thoughts.

    I Believe that the EU is the resurrected Roman Empire.

    I Believe that the USA will suffer cataclysm(s) that will neuter it before Armageddon.

    I Believe the visions that others had a decade or 2 ago whereby the East Coast of the USA is under water and the Mississippi River is much, much larger than it is today.

    I Believe that this World War III will escalate to such a point that all armies will turn against Israel.

    I Believe that calm is now ending.

    I Believe that we are, Right now, at the very cusp of the prophesied 7 Years of Trials & Tribulations. The rise of The Beast System. Mass death. Martyrdom. Child sacrifice. The Mark of the Beast required to buy or sell. The works.

    I know that this is going beyond most US Foreign Policy discussions. We won’t see this discussed on George Snuffleupagus on Sunday morning but these are my Beliefs and thank you for asking, Soc-Det.

      @OG

      I certainly agree with your assessment that most Americans are oblivious to the destruction and genocide that the US has inflicted on the world virtually unabated since its inception despite the availability of something as simple as the summary on Wikipedia of “List of wars involving the United States”.

      However, I would offer that your world picture is waaaay too complicated. I would suggest that the strategy is much simpler, the tactics a bit more complicated, and the details quite complex. This has been gamed out on mega-computers with simulations constantly being rerun to fine tune every detail.

      Assume dieoff, forget about old school strategies especially large wars, and look around at what is happening for clues on how this will play out [eg massive volunteer lethal injections].

    • Socrates-Detroit October 29, 2021 at 12:24 am #

      OG, you actually answered!

      First, I was a little older when I settled in the the Motor City, so my exploits in Windsor were more mild than wild. But for many here, it was a rite of passage to take the tunnel and legally drink.

      Second, America was and is exceptional. The way it earns that moniker has evolved and changed. Exceptional is not necessarily good–or bad. It is different. But that’s for another day.

      I appreciate your perspective. It comports with a lot of Biblical passages and prophecy.

      The thing about prophecy is, it can be like a riddle with many possible answers–but once it is fulfilled, the answer seems quite obvious.

      Different Christian denominations have different interpretations of the end times and Second Coming.

      I realize not everyone here agrees with, or believes the bible. But, based on what we see or read in the media, in this space, we generally perceive that nothing can grow forever, that our financial system is corrupt, that Americans don’t, or can’t make many of the things other Americans want, that much of our infrastructure is decaying, that the level of political correctness is approaching Germany circa 1931, and that the gap between the “wants” of society, and the “can do” of society is widening, that our heath care system was broken and corrupt before the plandemic, and the pandemic/plandemic itself. That seems like a lotta stuff at once.

      Also, I’m mindful of Rev 22:18, which warns against adding to prophecy or taking away from it. So let me state out the outset, any knowledge I have is superficial–good for discussion, but not for necessarily for action.

      I also have come to learn that the older I get, the less I know, as I realize what I know is often dwarfed by what I do not.

      Now that I have put the prefaces out, I appreciate OG’s answer to my question, and it sounds like we have similar impressions.

      Mixing my perception of current events, my limited knowledge of modern history, and limited knowledge of New (and Old) Testament, my take is also that the the EU is the foundation the resurrected Roman Empire. But given where we are, late in the 4th Quarter, where will the disparate EU get the military muscle needed to be a player?

      The muscle is here in the USA. Nuclear subs, drones, aerial refueling, precision munitions. The USA has historically unmatched destructive power–even as we are drowning in debt. Patton’s army ran of fuel and ammunition–today’s military does too. However, it also runs on… money. A lot of it. If the money dries up…what then?

      Perhaps economic implosion will take the wind out of the US military; perhaps the military-industrial complex will simply transfer allegiance from Washington to NATO (Brussels, administrative center of the revived Roman Empire), and give the Europeans (aka the Germans, and their French lapdogs, with my apologies to any French here–the French know, or knew, how to live, have a lovely country, and helped America free itself of the British, bless you!!, and DeGaulle was a “France first” fellow) the muscle to be credible–and make them top dog.

      On the other hand, as some one here observed, a prophet with visions of the future seeing Washington DC might think “New Rome”. Maybe the US will coopt Europe.

      I see the West closing ranks to contain China, even though the West and China have a symbiotic relationship at present (and IMO will continue to do so until/IF a conflict. Cue up Hitler/Stalin 1941).

      The American elites, Bill Gates, the techies, big Pharma, the Davos crowd, the Great Reset master, Klaus Schwab, are all of Western European stock, and THEY want to run the world.

      The Chinese Communist Party hierarchy and China’s corporate leaders, the Chinese elite are, of course Chinese, heirs to a great civilization. And they know it. They have used the West to further their power and now have become peers, and they have no intention of being subordinate to the Western elite/establishment/deep state. Xi and the CCP bigwigs must get headaches from laughing AND pulling their hair (with rage and jealousy) out at the foolishness of the West–wokesterism, rampant debt, policies that undermine and destroy the family unit, which the state needs, transgender wars…

      Just look at how both sides are handling this pandemic. The Chinese are ruthless, but seem more logical. The West seems hell-bent on these vaccines (the irony of the US military possibly imploding in 12-36 months due to a plague of mRNA issues is tragicomical). The poor countries are using Ivermecting–with great success, from what I’ve read.

      Both elites want to control their populations first, and the world’s next. The Davos crowd probably looks longingly at China’s “Social Credit Score”

      I think all the big boys (and the few big girls, like Angela Merkel, Christine Lagarde and the execrable HRC) recognize that a hot war will take us to the stone age and is NOT an option.

      However, I think over time, both elites will gradually overestimate their strength vis-a-vis their adversaries, and as their positions become more desperate over time, at some point things will rapidly escalate out of control (cue up summer 1914 and World War I), but divine intervention will put a stop to it, and an end to both the revived Rome, and the Chinese.

      My understanding is, whatever is to transpire in the future, it will not reach its climax, as God will intervene. Otherwise humanity would perish.

      Before we get there, the “south”, which I see as the Islamic/Arab world will cross some line and go to far in some way, and be…liquidated. Maybe by the Russians.

      Or, maybe the Arabs will retain their role as merely irksome, but not war winners. Maybe the “south” will be represented by the ….Ottomans, the Turks, will overplay their hand and get hammered, as usual, for the last and final time, by the Russians.

      Of all the former powers in the world, the only ones who have not (at least publicly) atoned for their acts of mass murder are the Turks. Their day is coming.

      Go Russia!

      The Russians have a lot of nukes, but they don’t have America’s ability to project power at lower levels anywhere. More importantly, there are 10 Chinese for every Russian. Something will derail Russia. Perhaps Russia might be co-opted by China, like the US might be co-opted by Europe. Maybe the Ukraine or Georgia will be a flash point between the West and Russia, which will drive Russia into China’s orbit.

      And all four of these entities, the Islamic Arabs or Turks, Russia, China (via China’s potential new clients, Afghanistan, and more importantly Iran, aka modern Persia, another ancient civilization, the one that conquered Babylon and invaded ancient Greece–unsuccessfully of course), and the power projecting West geographically, intersect in the Middle East. In or near Israel.

      Israel itself may have just changed. If the mRNA experiment goes bad…it’s a big “not good” for Israel.

      I think much of the world will be in a Long Emergency–but if less minor places/countries manage to stay out of the way, they may be spared the epic chaos, and just have chaos. Or not. Perhaps America will be an outlier, and Americans’ impact on the world stage will be the same as it was in 1890, after the USA had established itself between the oceans, but before American imperialism started (Spanish American War, and of course post-WWII).

      Perhaps other “developed” areas will muddle along in misery, as is the case, sadly, with much of the world today. Talking to Americans who have volunteered in Africa, in African cities, or anywhere in the Third World is very sobering. Not sure developed countries can go there.

      We north of the Rio Grande have been very fortunate. And my generation, with the exception of those unfortunate souls who were sent to occupy Iraq and/or Afghanistan or Vietnam before has really not experienced the hardship our ancestors had in WWII, the Depression, intense racial discrimination, or whatever challenges they had in the land of their origins, or slavery. My parents survived war and famine, as did most of their ancestors. How will we do with spotty electricity (cue up Texas, winter 2021–TEXAS, energy capital, with no heat in the new Amerika), spotty internet (for the commentariat here, that would be hard. No CFN would be for me at least), or spotty food or fuel?

      Maybe America will suffer some natural disaster as you say–earthquake, flood.

      We seem to have moved into a man-made disasters–several I listed earlier.

      I think I rambled too much, but in short, it seems like the movie called humankind (as we knew it) is closer to the end than the beginning.

        There are so many nuggets. My fave is a simple, plain statement:

        The thing about prophecy is, it can be like a riddle with many possible answers–but once it is fulfilled, the answer seems quite obvious.

        BINGO!

        I sometimes find myself in amazement as God’s Word is fulfilled but less and less so as the World now hurtles headlong into End Times.

        For example, having everyone take the mark in order to buy and sell seemed impossible less than 2 years ago. Now it is a matter of course.

        And that is why my amazement is less and less: “Of course!”

        Praise God and God bless you, Soc-Det.

        S, although I percieve you would like to engage OG in a more detailed debate, (and that is a gross presumption on my part, apologies), it is worth it over here just to have the history of the world laid down before us by you.

        Though OG may seem to have moved on, (more presumption coming right up), if you insert some monetary policy theory, his exact expertise will burn a hole in this forum, guaranteed.

        Oh, and ogs fasting. That won’t make for detail, only clarity.

        Lazer surgery! On your understanding of what motivates the PTB, you don’t seem to allow for the collusion of governments, Schwaub & associates, the stake holders, Gates et al, and the deep church, in their final solution for the people of the greater part of the western world, at least.

        And on prophesy, OG. Your 7 years of hell on earth have been revised to 3.5, as time has been sped up, revealed by a variety of prophets for 2000 years, and I believe the good book itself wherein Christ was raised in that shorter time frame, and YOU, the new christs, of the true church, which is to say true, universal, but not led by the abominable AC, ( who is actually just a joke, laugh in his face), is presently establishing a parallel but void/null/gollumic parody of Christs church, and will shortly take his throne.

        Also, I have heard there is infighting in the upper spheres between the monsters themselves, China, true controllers of Amish, (let those with ears understand), and all those included in the Deep trinity, the unholy, state, pharma, church.

    I have to go to my weekly Thursday 5- 10-25 cent fun-filled poker game in a little while, bur first I wanted to thank those of you who replied to my post about solar generators.

    Wilbur, I didn’t read what you provided because of St. Elmo’s post. I have to do more research on solar gens, but thanks for the info.
    Same to RT.

    JAZ: Good thoughts. To answer your question, electric heat pumps aren’t designed for the North. They can only heat a place when the outside air temp hits about 30 degrees F or higher. Not too good for New England winters. However, I have a hybrid electric system. When the temps go down below 30, then an electric heater automatically goes on. Heat pumps are very cheap to run, and the electric heaters are more expensive. My electric costs average out. Last year I only paid a total of about $1,400 for my electricity. Keep in mind everything in my condo is electric, so that annual $1,400 includes heat, hot water, cooking, dishwasher, refrigerator and lights. In effect my only utility bill. I don’t need gas or oil.

    I gotta go now and play some poker for a few hours.

    I swear, I feel like Hunter S. Thompson from Fear and Loathing, in that scene where he just chugged the adrenochrome, and was demanding Dr. Gonzo to, “finish the F*’n story!!!” Haha, Johnny Depp sent his ashes up in a fireworks funeral display – Depp sure has devolved recently, with his wife-beater antics (Devo – It’s a Beautiful World)…

      I talked to Ozone about a year ago. His wife wasn’t well; I got the impression he kind of withdrew … not only from CFNation, but also from his live performances at local clubs and bars, altho Covid lockdowns might have had something to do with that. I used to see him at the British Motorcycle show and rally in Haddam every August (where Ozone provided entertainment) but that’s been cancelled for two years in a row now. He’s got a nice spread tucked away in the hills of western Mass. — Arlo Guthrie country, who I believe Ozone knows — and he’s focusing in on that.

      He’s a good guy, the best.

      Thanks for asking.

    Let’s do a simple logic test: a populist leader wins the next election. Under his direction, the government apologizes about the deleterious effects of the initial shots.

    However, after admitting “mistakes were made”, he then drops the bombshell: since the vaxxed now possess compromised immune systems, for public safety reasons, they will have to undergo n+1 boosters.

    The unvaxed, with natural immunity, are released from all follow on programs. Question: how would the woke react?

    See how simple this is? Under a different administration, the entire narrative is destroyed. Ergo, it is not an impartial, objective scientific exercise, but rather an act of war.

    The task of educating those still in denial can utilize both facts (limits) and logic. And for prurient appeal, imagine fauci et all slapped in irons and given subsequent boosters on live national TV.

    The fight over who’s in control hasn’t even really started. Once a general consensus is reached that indeed, forces are trying to eliminate/neutralize the general populace, then the game is well and truly afoot.

    • Soul Forensics October 28, 2021 at 6:27 pm #

      “The fight over who’s in control hasn’t even really started. Once a general consensus is reached that indeed, forces are trying to eliminate/neutralize the general populace, then the game is well and truly afoot.”

      There is nothing new in your quote above. Most of that sort of conjecture has been put forth on CFN for a long time, and by many posters. So I’m puzzled as to your “unique” spin on things the rest of us reactionaries are supposedly not getting.

      But your “solution”, or at least the glimmerings of one, won’t start with a top-down populist or demagogue. It will be ferociously organic, bottom-up. Any populist will be directly responsible to the people who elect him/her/them. Strictures will be agreed upon, and put in place.

      But even that’s a fail mid-term, and, for a certainty, long-term. Any semblance of power corrupts, no matter how sincere are the people who initiate the changes, usurp, and take control.

      The only solution is an economic one, one that is completely decentralized. The fiat system will die — in essence is already dead — and Bitcoin is the answer.

      El Salvador is only the first country to awaken. Next comes the rest of Latin America. Ukraine wants in. Others in Europe. China will persist, and plug along with gold reserves, but in the coming global decentralized world, Imperialism is toast (China being the only Imperial power remaining). They stupidly threw out their Bitcoin miners, much to the benefit of Wyoming and Texas.

      Short term — much pain, suffering, and death.

      Then comes a more natural power-down, grim for many, exhilarating for many, and much better than the million-and-one doomer scenarios.

      • BackRowHeckler October 28, 2021 at 7:43 pm #

        SF, concerning bitcoin, it takes a tremendous amount of electricity to run those ‘mines’; what happens when the power goes out? Or in the future when there is not as much electricity available? My kid became a bitcoin millionaire investing in it early and also now owns a bunch of facilities in NY, I’ll and Ohio with banks of computers running calculations and burning up juice. He’s bought all kinds of junk like a dozen Ducati motorcycles and a Cadillac Escalade, for which he has a driver to chauffeur him around. He’s pissing money away like there’s no tomorrow and I expect at some point it will come all to ruin.

        • Soul Forensics October 28, 2021 at 8:43 pm #

          BRH,

          Bitcoin actually takes half as much energy to mine in output as compared to fossil fuels. Plus, when Bitcoin becomes the standard international monetary unit to trade with, there’s more fossil fuel saving in reduced transportation of goods and services, plus a host of other areas that I don’t have time to go into here (fossil fuel transport happens for me in a few mins!)

          Your kid, pardon my bluntness, though he got on board early, isn’t very smart about what he’s doing. Bitcoin, now, should be used exclusively for saving. Spend fiat and store Bitcoin, is the adage.

          When the world reaches its 1 billion again, demand destruction will be much less, and of course there’s still lotsa King Coal!

        • BackRowHeckler October 29, 2021 at 4:09 am #

          Oh I agree with you 100% about my kid SF I’ve told him until I was blue in the face to stop wasting all that money and start investing and saving some. But WTF do I know?

      Shit.

      The communes of the 60’s and 70’s could not even self-regulate. Virtually every one of them disbanded due mainly to a lack of mutual dependence for survival.

      Ships are navigated from a central control room just like a personal vehicle.

      Denial of the dieoff is not a hope. That’s labelled more appropriately as Panglossian Disorder.

      Looking for a solution? The nearest thing to a solution that you or any of us will ever find is grab a dibble and run away!

      “Reality” sucks and then, ya die.

      The latest detail in the Grand Plan seems to be to work in the vac verification passports to round up the last viable 10-20% of the population to reach the magic 81-90% lethal injection target.

    Do you remember the movie “Misery” starring Kathy Bates and Jens Caan?

    The sadistic sandfly experiment on the puppies was rather creepy and Satanic, right? No “Normal” person would do that, right? The animal cruelty Thang….

    Have you ever known someone who was cruel to animals?

    But what if the “Animals” deserve it? For example, “rats”? What if the “Animals” are themselves cruel and potentially dangerous?

    • MaryQueen October 28, 2021 at 7:18 pm #

      First I would ask you if you know the difference between torturing and killing an animal for no good reason, and self-defense against something like a infestation, etc.

      Because it would appear you don’t.

      • Pucker October 28, 2021 at 8:00 pm #

        Doesn’t it all depend upon whether the sadistic perpetrator “Hates” the particular “Animal” in question? At a recent Davos meeting, didn’t a prominent speaker refer to the Plebs as “rats”?

        • MaryQueen October 28, 2021 at 8:29 pm #

          Question 1) how do you know someone’s intentions? I go by actions. No animals need to die to test if flies can eat their face off.

          Question 2) I don’t know.

      If it’s simply a matter of “a cruelty for a cruelty”, then cruelty in exchange for “potentially dangerous” cannot be accepted as an equal exchange. Now, let’s move on to cruelty…

      Give an example of an animal being cruel.

      (The next “question” will probably be, “Define cruel”.)

      • anmariwakaranai October 29, 2021 at 10:41 am #

        A little off topic but, Saw a documentary that showed and described the ‘state’ of victims in the clutches of a lion. The lion purred, as it was playing with, and consequently tearing out the jugular of the animal in his clutches. And it was asserted that this purring hypnotised the victim and acted as an epidural during dismemberment.

    @anthea , regarding abortion

    I sympathize with your (catholic) argument that those who engage in the procreative act (sacrament) should bear responsibility for the result of that act, procreation.

    I have two main problems:

    1. Part of responsibility for the life born of the procreative act must be to constantly act in the best interest of that child. And if this child is unwanted, born to a situation unfit to support the child in life…in such cases abortion may be the most responsible choice FOR THE GOOD OF THE CHILD. (Sorry, i cant do italics.) It is IRRESPONSIBLE to provide no remedy for conceptions which are mistakes. It is cruel. It is inhuman, actually.

    2. My strong support for abortion almost carte blanche is related to the context of a debased society…a debasement which involves an overpopulation condition and a materialistic but shallow society which encourages by constant aggravation shall we say, “non-sacramental” procreative behavior. In the context of these social realities, taking a hard line on procreative responsibility is putting the cart before the horse…first, fix the social problems driving overpopulation and irresponsible sex as an escape from unsatisfactory, exploitive social arrangements, THEN take a hard line regarding reproductive responsibility.

    Another thing, i would never take contraception away from humanity…that is ungodly and inhumane. And, much contrsception is dependent on modern technologies i do not support… So, in the end, I am someone who supports the ancient human practice of infanticide as a means of contraception in some circumstances.

    Basically, there is so much more to procreative responsibility than a simplistic idea like “every single conception is sacred and god has declared it inviolate”

      One thing that happened just about a year ago that surprised me, my wife’s cousin from San Sebastian sent a picture of an ultra sound she had at 5 months pregnant; you could see the little guy’s face in there. He looked hopeful. He was born and is now a chubby little baby.

      it just isn’t to me. i do not like the whole rigidity surrounding, and emphasis on, “conception”. co eption is just one tick on life’s timeline. overemphasize it, and you degrade the life as a whole.

      Good point: most people (and almost all women) can only argue from the particular (themselves or their friends, anecdotes, etc) to the general. But one must argue from the general to the particular if one would make a valuable contribution.

      Reverence for life – yes. But what about when there is too much of it? life/death go together. Both must serve Life or the Spirit. If we don’t manage the balance correctly, than Nature will step in with her brutal methods. Nature is the Cruel Mother that you and Mary love so much. I love God more, but Nature is also his Voice, even if in a fallen condition like humanity itself.

      In the six realms of Buddhism, the animal realm is one the three unfortunate conditions, the other two being the hungry ghost realms and the hell realms.

            You continually speak for others. It’s one thing to say, “I think you might mean this” etc. But you don’t. You come right out and tell people what they intend and think. I won’t go into what my ‘management’ experience teaches us about that mentality. (hint: good chance narcissism is involved).

            Then again, there may be something else at work here. You don’t know you’re doing it, perhaps?

      Gus not Anthea but I thought I’d take a crack at this. Did you know the loss in fish populations can be correlated to flushed pharma, wether processed through the digestive system or plain dumping? It’s not the only cause, but a big contributer. I would bet many other species are similarly affected.
      Did you know the people who want kids are having difficulty conceiving? I can see a win win here for a girl in trouble who wants to get rid of a problem, but that might learn an invaluable 9 month lesson given the opportunity. Maybe even get a trade in those months.
      Now I’m no fan of the nanny state. I say the less laws, the better. So it gets a bit dicy in practice if the girl winds up in the wrong hands in this situation. There is also the possibility that during gestation, she might come to see who grows inside her as something other than a problem. And sometimes when a baby is born, you feel the other enter the room. The new soul. This can change people. Not all, maybe not many, but some.
      You are right. Society has to shift away from free sex, but what allowed that Gus? Contraception.

    @ BRH & Wilbur

    FROM MY HALF – WRITTEN BOOK. IF THAT DOESN’T INTEREST YOU , SCROLL BY. 😛

    Warming to my off – topic a bit. I’ll try to keep it brief.

    As I said , it would have been monumental , because the more I thought , the more I came up with . 😛

    Like —

    They don’t have TV , but they have radio.

    They have three basic programs —

    — Weather reports.

    For some reason , they absolutely insist on getting a five , four , or even three year old to read the weather report.

    So a weather report that should take 3 minutes , not uncommonly takes 30 minutes.

    Or is occasionally unintelligible.

    — Statistics.

    I said the average life expectancy is 45 , but of course that’s an average. The girl who reads the statistics is some 60 year old who has been in the job forever. And she’s with the Census Enumerators .

    Statistics is more like bare recitations of numbers ;

    ” 4,650 boots manufactured in Carolana in May.

    1, 436 boots manufactured in Kantuckee in ,May.

    32,675 tampons manufactured in Portlandia in May.

    236 miles of telephone cable replaced in New England region in the last quarter.

    … ”

    And so on.

    This is the most ubiquitous radio program , pretty much all day long.

    — The numbers station .

    The big event. !

    All day and all night , around the clock , at three hour intervals , 3 AM , 6 AM , 9 AM , Noon , etc

    This comes on ;

    ( skip the intro , beginning at 1:00 )

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GjT4V_apdI

    ( Hey ! Coincidentally the picture of the doll was a nice added touch that fits right in ! )

    Not uncommonly , anyone who isn’t busy at the moment , and is near the radio , will wander over to listen.

    When it’s over , typically they will turn to each other and smile , maybe laugh , hug each other or pat each other on the butt , and then go about their business.

    Our author asked her friend , or at least closest associate , Lisa , one time ,

    ” What is this about ? ”

    Lisa replied , ” Aff ! ” waved her hand dismissively , giggled slightly , pointed her index finger strait up , and said ,

    ” Heilig ! ” ( Holy. )

    Near as Cassie can figure —

    ( BTW Cassie is one of the common names of the Dole in Prague , and that’s the name they gave her . The current Dole is Cassie XIII , the one just prior was Brigette XVI. Doles have had other names , but those are the two most common. Why name her after a Dole ? As I said previously , they seem to get some kind of kick out of the fact that she looks like one of them , but isn’t. )

    — it is some hold over from the days when they had trouble with the humans , which has since become an obsessive – compulsive ritual / tradition kind – of – thing.

    And that’s pretty much it for radio.

    Hmm, I’ll add another detail or two.

    In the Standarten / commune where Cassie lives they have one telephone in the offices of the Ouslau.

    A big , clunky , heavy plastic and metal thing. You could hammer nails with the receiver.

    She doesn’t work in the offices of the Ouslau very often * ,

    but near as she can tell , it isn’t used much.

    What is used a lot to send long distance messages is the telegraph .

    She does have one anecdote related to the telephone ; A disturbing one.

    When she was 11 years old she was called to the office to this telephone . A treat of sorts for her , because she doesn’t even see a telephone everyday.

    — Or it would have been a treat.

    The Haupt – Cheerleader ( plain , “Head Cheerleader ” ) of her Standarten , a girl named Winnie , was discussing over this phone with someone on the other end whether Cassie should become a dead museum exhibit , or remain a living one.

    Well , she walked out of there alive.

    After Winnie hung up she hugged Cassie , patted her on the head , and even gave her a pat on the butt —

    ( — which flattered Cassie greatly not withstanding the circumstances . They are very free with their affections , and she is not excluded from that either , but Winnie is very important , whatever that means among them , and it’s not like Cassie is commonly loitering around Winnie. )

    — And dismissed her.

    Whew!!

    * — Cassie’s usual job is scrubbing toilets and keeping the baths neat and tidy ,

    helping Lisa out in the shoe shop repairing and occasionally making boots ** ,

    ( Lisa you could generally say is Cassie’s primary minder and keeper. Unusually , Lisa stands 5 feet 6 inches tall. really stork – like , all knees and elbows , and sticking out discordantly where the Average is just under 5 feet tall. She has shiny , strait black hair that hangs to her knees , has pasty – white skin , a rather wide mouth and a long nose. )

    and , as she is basically a pet or mascot , rather like a dog , giving and receiving affection on demand.

    ** — If there are two things that really symbolize the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation —

    ( That’s what they call it. Virtually everything is a knock – off or borrowing from humans , )

    — it is the pleated mini-skirt and the jack boot.

    There is other apparel , and other footwear , but these are staples.

    Certainly they are staple parts of their Sunday military parades , and their religious holiday war game exercises.

    So imagine a convention of cheerleaders.

    — throw in some flintlock muskets ,

    — a few of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-62

    — And something very similar to this is common parade head gear

    https://bantarleton.tumblr.com/post/110556915410/hessian-mitre-caps-worn-by-german-grenadiers

    And hopefully that gives you something like a visual image of a typical Sunday.

      I Fricken Love it…………

      Love this part tooo

      Weather reports.

      For some reason , they absolutely insist on getting a five , four , or even three year old to read the weather report.

      So a weather report that should take 3 minutes , not uncommonly takes 30 minutes.

    He’s been up for awhile now in the late night hours, but I saw him for the first time this season at about 11 pm tonight, rising majestically in the East.

    The great Huntsman Orion has appeared again, as Dia de los Muertos soon also arrives, and the coyotes here howl nightly at the coming dark days of Winter when the Life force hibernates, and the Great Hunter gazes down upon the planet’s prey.

    Behold him rise, mighty Hunter of the skies!

    Are we too unworthy of Orion’s sword, what with the malicious, microscopic, marlinspike microbes hunting us down like defenseless, easy game?

    Great Hunter, why ‘this gloomy shade of death’, this misery of the marlinspike?

    • WilbursHuman October 29, 2021 at 9:54 am #

      The only constellation, i learned at a young age……..

      The first one I see going out at night.

      Was in our skies a couple of weeks ago, I looked up for some reason

      And there he was.

    Since it is Friday morning and we’re down to tangential stories,, I thought I’d annoy the anecdote phobics with a Q-Shtik-type story than only hangs tangentially and tenuously on to the subjects in hand – Tunisia, and not even sandflies or puppies.

    SCROLL BY NOW IF YOU DON’T LIKE STORIES.

    The first time I ever went abroad was when I hitched round Brittany (and thence to Paris) with a school friend, when I was 19. My second foreign trip was the following year, to Tunisia (it would have been 1972).

    A student flat mate and I hitched from the north of England (the roundabout at Scotch Corner, since you ask – one of those ‘toutes directions kinda places – where my mother had kindly deposited us) to Marseille, from where we continued by boat. There must have been an earlier boat, or hovercraft, since Eurostar wasn’t yet conceived, but that bit’s a blank.

    As we were doing it on a shoestring, we eschewed the cabins on the upper deck where the Europeans were (we didn’t know this in advance) and slummed it with the Tunisians, who were mostly going home for their month’s break from working in France. Mostly men, if I recall, and many young. We got the rows of ‘fauteuils‘. And they all took their shoes off at night so it was pretty aromatic.

    In the middle of the night a couple of young guys came and woke us up and politely asked us if we’d like to join them on the deck where there was some partying going on. We got there to find a bunch of them singing and playing traditional Tunisian folk music and doing some kind of circular folk dance. They were all really happy, because they were going home. And they treated us impeccably, even though I don’t remember there being any other women there.

    It was a 24-hour voyage. Things deteriorated in the morning, as half the travellers had been sick in the toilets and washbasins so everything was blocked  I’m sure it was nicer in the cabins upstairs. Sorry, TMI, but I’m doing a Q-Shtik and giving you the full flavour of an experience you’ll never have. 🙂  

    We spent three weeks or so travelling on trains that cost about £1 to travel half the length of a very tiny country, and staying in youth hostels that cost about the same per night, but hadn’t discovered the concept of doors or curtains on shower cubicles. Or, more likely, had lost them. No rose on the shower head either, which meant we rechristened a ‘shower’ as a ‘drip’. Did I mention there was only cold water? And the toilets, thanks to the French colonists of times gone by, were the type that another student friend had in France christened the ‘golden shot’ after a TV programme of that name where a contestant had to give instructions to a blindfolded ‘Barry the Bolt’, who had to fire a crossbow at a target, guiding him with ‘up a bit, left, down a bit …’.

    We saw what was to be seen, which wasn’t an awful lot – I remember the ‘gorfas’ of Medenine and the mosque at Kairouan, which we weren’t allowed into, being of the female persuasion (I had better luck in the Ummayad mosque in Damascus, decades later, but had to wear a horrible green gown to cover up my shameful female person). And sand. And camels, from the train.

    At one seaside resort where we stayed for 5 days (to acquire a tan or in my case painful sunburn, then a tan) my friend was pestered a tiny bit on the beach because she was blond and they were fascinated and wanted to touch her hair. There was a man there every day that we referred to as ‘Tapis sch?n’ because this strange Franco-German description was what he called out for the tourists as he walked back and forward along the beach, trying to sell his rugs.

    We returned to the capital, from where we’d hoped to visit Carthage (my friend had worked in Algeria and had seen it already) but were disappointed, since a serious bout of the D&Vs (N. African version of Delhi belly) kept us in a frantic run between hotel room and bathroom for the entire two days before we had to get back on the boat to Marseille (there’s a short story there but I’ll leave it). 

    On the way back, there was no dancing or singing on the deck. The Tunisians were on their way back to 11 months of working for people who mostly looked down on them, so the atmosphere was glum.

    My friend and I each carried back a traditional Tunisian birdcage (of a cumbersome size, when travelling in the passenger seat(s) of other people’s lorries, with an already sizeable rucksack), thinking our mothers might put a pot plant in them, for decoration.  On a subsequent visit home, I found it in the garden shed, along with my unknown (to me) granddad’s lasts and a gas mask from the war. There’s gratitude for you.

      Very good story GA. It reminded me of a Russian guy we ‘dubbed’ Rod October for his Rod Stewart haircut and attitude in a disco once where he was in hot pursuit.

        And a footballer who asked for my number which I wrote on his forehead with eyeliner.

        • anmariwakaranai October 29, 2021 at 10:31 am #

          I am such a liar. I wrote it on his forehead in lipstick. Unbelievable, I know.

    • WilbursHuman October 29, 2021 at 10:02 am #

      That was a Really neat look into your younger years GA !!!!!!!!

      You must be about my (ex) wifes age, I could have seen her doing this too

      Anyways, thanks for the memories !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, as COP26 commences, we’re getting a first hand look at what life can be without fossil fuels in Lebanon and Haiti. No hot showers, no electric lights, no gasoline to run automobiles, no heat or AC, hospitals closing, food spoiling due to lack of refrigeration, no diesel to run trucks, explosive interpersonal violence on the streets, vicious gangs controlling what little resources remain, IOW, the unravelling of civilization, Hell on Earth, not the utopia Captain Planet — John Kerry, Climate Czar — describes when he admonishes us to “abandon fossil fuels”, and “leave it in the ground.”

    Will our Globalist Masters and Climate Cranks protesting on the streets of Glasgow address the situation in these energy starved countries other can advising them to build unreliable windmills and buy $80,000 EVs?

    • GreenAlba October 29, 2021 at 7:37 am #

      Don’t know what it’s like in Glasgow, but it’s been pissing down here since yesterday morning and not showing any signs of stopping. And they’re only 40 miles away (also the west coast is wetter).

      Haha.

    Ivermectin is approved for treatment against Covid-19 on the National Institutes of Health’s website. Right underneath remdesivir. Don’t believe me search covid19treatmentguidelines table-2e on your search engine and you will see it.
    According to that website it was last updated July yet here these people are telling us in August not to take ivermectin. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://health.p0l.org/
