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.
Be careful, you know what’s at the centre of the Ka’aba in Mecca, worshiped by a billion Muslims worldwide? A black rock.
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.
Are you sure it is a rock?
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.
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.
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.
The black rock is a meteorite.
Black Rock cchanged its name to Xi, didn’t it?
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.
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.
What’s God supposed to be? The force that created all.
Pre big bang strings? I think so.
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.
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.
I think Elagbalus might be a step up from Biden. Is he still available?
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?!
Was his mother called Hillaria Clintonia by any chance?
Let’s go Elagbalus!!!
They’d make him MInister of Fine Art today.
Or dress him in an admiral’s uniform and make him Asst Secretary of Health. Let’s Go Levine!
Enjoy the “Fauci Horror Show” that is your tax dollars at work.

Brings to mind Hunter Biden, drugged and cavorting on video and his trips on our planes to collect China $$ for his father’s influence. But there was not a smidgen of corruption in his administration according to Obama.
It’s only corruption when the Republicans do it.
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.
Good point about traffic.
In my area the daytime traffic levels are as bad or worse than the pre-Beer Flu days.
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.
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”.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Winter is coming, a sense of desperation is setting in.
BRH: desperation for whom? Us or Them?
Mitch:
You recognize that no one is in control of this slow-speed train wreck and that LOWERS your blood pressure?
You do not get my nomination as the designated thinker for this group.
Good point, Zoltar. If your Tesla crashes and burns due to Elon Musk’s incompetence rather than his malevolence, do you celebrate?
Just read today that Tesla has exceeded $1 trillion in valuation.
Yes, and as a result Elon Musk has become the richest man at $250 billion. Eat your heart out, Jeff Bezos!
This is his reward for putting starlink up to track us ad infinitum
“Elon Musk has become the richest man”
I heard he did “all that” through bitcoin. I’d be getting out now, while the gettin’s *gud* (kinda like Florida – GTFO now). No slam on Max Keiser, just that bitcoin has DEF hit peak-bubble… Back to basics (local/gold/silver/copper)
Mine, either. I’m not getting where he’s seeing that people are freaking out. We’re just discussing things. Hell, half the comments are usually making fun of it all.
When I first saw this username, I though, “That’s too close, in character, to our own beloved Queen Mary.” Once I started reading the posts, my thought was, “Oh no – she’s been cloned!”
I cloned myself as a fun nod to the person who won’t stop calling me ‘prideful woman’ and claiming god will smite me for it.
With no control, those who would control us are busted down to mere reactionaries…just like the rest of us.
Mitchell: fair point. Even in France, supposedly locked down by Vichy wannabe Macron, life goes on and many of the rules are ignored.
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.
been hearing these failed predictions forever.
Flats or heels?
No one is indeed in control, though Jerome Powell stills seems to believe he is. That’s the thing with printing money. It works right up until it doesn’t. I don’t know when that day arrives, but I do know that it’s closer than it was last Friday.
At 71 year old American from birth (no dual citizenships) now I find myself only interested in saving The Constitution, The Republic for Richard Stanz and my granddaughter’s five year old arm from Newsom’s needles bearing spike proteins, other poisons and potentially the end of her young life.
I am in Los Angeles and “taking a drive” around these here parts isn’t what I need.
A long, cool drink of raw Justice will quench my thirst.
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.
Hard to tell what the breakdown in driver demographics are, lots of retirees and the unemployed, soon the mandates will create more with nothing to do. Psaki will call it exuberant economic demand. But no supply.
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.
I look forward to your twice weekly columns JHK
I was going to say the same thing, Ray, you beat me to it. The FBI profile of serial killers usually includes animal torture.
There’s a triangle, all serial killers have at least one of three traits (there are other traits, and not everyone with one of traits is a serial killer).
Bedwetting, arson, and animal cruelty.
I know a woman who cleaned up after banksters in a big city.
They were all bed wetters.
Seriously?
I guess that would answer the question of how do they sleep at night.
Too heavy to wake up to pee.
….seriously. and much MUCH worse.
Out damn spot
Jeez.
That’s super depressing.
I think it’s about control. They think they can mind over matter anything cuz skull n bonez sayz so.
Bedwetting, arson, and animal cruelty. – BofO
============
Michael Landon (real name Eugene “oogy” Orowitz) of Bonanza fame was a notorious bedwetter.
I have to admit, I whuz in league w/ Q here – the last 2 (pyro/animal torturer) PHO SHO.
Bedwetter? Skeptical…
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.
Yes indeed. Cuomo’s removal made the nursing home death story go away.
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.
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’!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
That’s plausible, but it would have been more like him to not tell her anything, and just do it at the last minute.
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.
https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/fda-buries-data-on-seriously-injured
I hope Fauci sees the painful justice his actions deserve. And by that I don’t mean a Cuomo style retirement on full pension and mansion overlooking Martha’s Vineyard.
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.
Some people who comment here just can’t get over Martha’s Vineyard. Martha’s Vineyard Martha’s Vineyard mansion, sea rise Martha’s Vineyard rinse and repeat
You know, it is a public place and anyone can visit.
There is public transit to and on Martha’s Vineyard.

Why don’t ya’all try it and get rid of the useless chip on shoulder.
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.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s book on Fauci is coming out in a few weeks.
The other night on the FLCCC weekly update, Dr. Kory said he had read a pre-release copy and that it is excellent. Not sure if he covered the debarked Beagle puppies being eaten alive by sandflies in Tunisia paid for with US taxpayer dollars with the check written by Fauci…..
Abby: I’m sure RFK has a sequel planned to bring the story of this psychopath uptodate.
That is my conjecture also. The book must be dynamite.
We have already reserved a copy.
I think Spitzer was going to prosecute bankers.
I have no idea why Cuomo was ousted, unless he wasn’t willing to fire 70,000 nurses and doctors, the way his successor was thrilled to do.
Why would they dispose of Fauci?
He’s been the most effective and influential patriarch of the Coronacult the whole way.
Why give that up?
They must have something even worse in the pipeline?
Maybe the failed Disney biopic convinced them that Fauci has passed his sell-by date.
Who knows, but it could just be the infighting these maniacs often indulge in. Look at The Great Terror. Everyone was bumping each other off. Robespierre got Danton, and then met his own end.
Yes indeed.
The charade of competent governance that the Nefarious Forces expected to pull off is not working out so someone’s head has to be lopped off and tossed to the crowd.
Thanks for your many, many years of service and devotion to the
Endeavor, Dr. F!
“There is speculation going on as to why now?” Torture and killing of animals has a way of getting into and staying in the news the way abuse of mere children does not have.
“Torture and killing of animals has a way of getting into and staying in the news the way abuse of mere children does not have.”
Don’t mess with the soccer moms.
Being incompetent does not mean they don’t have agendas. Shallow minded people hell bent on control and wealth have done a lot of damage to our Republic.
I’d like to believe that Fauci will be brought to justice or at least removed, but if the MSM doesn’t report this horrific story, it never happened.
Do a search on CNN for Tunisia.
I just visited MSNBC.com for the first time in years. They’re not even making the slightest attempt to appear neutral anymore. It’s 100% anti-GOP now. Pure hate all over the home page.
You made me check msnbc for the first time in a while, and haha, the center screen bold headline is: “America has written off the GOP as a serious party”
I wonder, is it so amusingly blatant now that even some on the left have to think, hey, don’t tell me what to think, and act contrary….. a man can dream.
Raymond: You may well be right. I remember when the IRA planted a bomb in London that killed and maimed many members of a British cavalry regiment. No-one gave a damn about the men; it was all about the poor horses. To change animals, maybe this is the straw that breaks the camel’s back. BLM – Beagles’ Lives Matter!
The men were the enemy in a conflict, by choice. I’m not saying that viewpoint is correct, but it exists.
“BLM – Beagles’ Lives Matter!”
Ha ha!
Black L M won’t like that. They’ll have to eliminate the acronym. and rework their signage. Probably reveal various misspellings into the bargain.
SF: Oh, I don’t know. A little tweaking is probably all it takes. Did George Floyd own a beagle?
Love it!
Beagle lives DO matter!
I just did a search of “beagles” and the first Google “completions” were “beagles sand flies” and “beagles and sand flies” and “beagles for testing.” Ugh.
Here is some copy about the lovable beagle:
“Thinking about getting a beagle? Or do you want to know more about your new beagle friend? You may already know that the beagle’s distinctive looks and gentle demeanor make it one of the most popular breeds in the United States. If you’re considering a beagle puppy or just want to know more about the beagle personality, we’ve got you covered. Here at the Rover offices, we spend time with lots of beagle friends and enjoy their sweet faces and ability to howl along with sirens.”
BLM – Beagles’ Lives Matter!
That is IT, that is our Shot Heard ‘Round The World.
It doesn’t have to be ‘rational’, it only has to ring the bell- and boy, does that one ring.
I don’t believe there is much incompetence. I think they like the perception of it. Every ‘foible’ is plotted out for maximum benefit, and usually as a massive distraction. They have to keep the drama going, and also the illusion that there is no agenda.
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.
Very useful “incompetence”, indeed…
Rulo: I agree.
The most handy political use of the passive voice:
“Mistakes were made.”
No heads roll after these passive-voice buck-passing Not-mea-culpas.
“No one could have imagined.”
Obama at Hiroshima “On a beautiful day, death fell from the sky”
Better yet, assume that incompetence is a fine mask for conspiracy. As Obama said, if you want to fuck something up, give it to Joe. They want to fuck America so they did.
Jarek, do you live in the Pacific time zone?
@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.
You make some fascinating points. Thank you.
Indeed he does
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:
Shakespeare, ‘Macbeth’. 6. “Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.”
the mandarins cull scheme
anmari, Yuri also made me think about economies of scale.
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.
“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.” Amen to that. Thank you.
Xi is not hard to read. China first. Death to America.
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.
You are just as dead when you are killed by incompetence as you are when you are killed by deadly cunning.
Amazing.
Plotting and scheming, and executing those plots and schemes as crimes against humanity wasn’t enough.
Torturing puppies was the straw that broke the camels back.
I don’t actually condone the murder of millions of human beings, but I’m beginning to understand it.
B.L.M. is the puppy face that launched a thousand ships.
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.
You might be surprised to see how many Americans love their dogs (and cats) more than any humans in their lives.
I read an article last week about how some even describe their dogs as their “soulmates”.
Unfortunately, I’m not surprised at all…
Yup.
Go on one of the dating apps or sites.
Have a look at how many young women are self-described, “dog mommies.”
Yikes.
I’m a ‘dog mommy’ who cares about my dogs more than anyone else in the world.
And I don’t give a crap what anyone thinks about it.
I spent 15 years in dog rescue, and I prefer most of the dogs I’ve met and rescued than most people.
And I’m a people person!
I’m not a people person, and yet I find myself on a mission to rescue young backwoods deplorables from themselves…
Crazy world, eh?
‘Tis really a crazy world, yes.
I don’t call myself a dog mommy because I have actual children.
However my son at age 16 suddenly realized that I had named him after my favorite dog and he was outraged. “You named me after a dog!!”
I told him “In my defense, I didn’t even know you when I named you, and she was a really really good dog”.
Maybe that’s why he ignores me about the vaccine now.
Bingo.
Everything they do is about normalizing horrors.
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.
Get your bark on before they sew your head into a box!
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?
Don’t expect too much from Trump. He’s still pushing the jab.
He’s a lost cause, as far as that goes.
Trump cares for and works for no one but Trump. Seems about half the country has forgotten the disgusting plutocrat we all reviled in the ’80’s, ’90’s, ’00’s. He slides down an escalator howling “MAGA” and we lay ourselves at his feet like a human red carpet.
The incompetence is not at the top. It is down here where we are.
If he hadn’t been opposed by his own party, as well as the commie Democrats, what we are seeing at the ports in California would not be happening.
He got waylaid by the scamdemic. He had a plan going in, and he carried it out to the best of his ability.
That made me cry.
That’s an idea!
Have demonstrations outside NIH where Fauci’s office is and just hold signs with the beagles while everybody barks and howls.
Oooh, great idea.
Even PETA are demanding his head now.
“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.” –MD
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.
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.
Rod:
The son of a bitch is eighty two years old. When the peasants show up with a coil of rope his sub-acolytes will end of hanging from lamp posts while he continues to chuckle.
.
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.
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.
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.
Yep.
Often wondered, could they make it worse? Reasoned, they already have, they’re just holding those cards.
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.
Don’t interrupt his photo shoot by the pool sipping a gin and tonic for Vanity Fair!
That would be so rude.
People like Fauci become detached from the consequences of their experiments. Their only response is “Oops”.
“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.
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?”
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.
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.
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.
A psychic told me once that Southie ( 1970’s Boston Forced Busing, violence, housing project, living with vermin, sociopaths…white people stuff),and Russia ( my go native period) where a training for me. She must have meant the current times.
Huh?
Like the students at Howard who have been forced to sleep in tents to get away from the rats?
Maybe Carmelita will take a trip down there. It’s not the actual southern border (which she is very good at avoiding) but hey!
So, I was wondering…
If twice a week can also be properly said as either bi-weekly or semi-weekly, then can we also say semi-sexual instead of bi-sexual?
Bi-weekly is once every two weeks,
A fortnight.
How can anyone be bisexual when there are so many sexes?. The count seems to change daily.
They’ve come up with the term “pansexual” which is generally portrayed favorably, although it sounds like the sick fetish of demented chefs.
Shunning understatement, North Korean News once posted this colorful observation: Vulgar pansexual slovenly Imbecile Roger Stone latest to fall out of favor of Noted Idiot Trump in Latest Fecal Palace Intrigue.

Top that, Rachel Maddow!
A famous lady once said,
“Let them eat cake”
She paid for that with her head!
Does the very spoiled US population have the where with all to throw the bums our?
I doubt it. The general public has not the intelligence or indignity of this blog.
Correct.
Hillary has decided to become the next queen of England. She is already ordering Boris about, demanding that England mandate vax passes. WTH.
Hillary just promised to never leave politics.
Hmmm….I wonder what plans Satan has for her? He has plenty of hot sauce down there too!
Hmmm is she to the Dems like Trump is to the GOP?
Would she have done as poor a job as JoJo? Remember, in 2016 her primary target prior to Trump was Bernie, not a bad thing.
Changing lanes here in hope someone can answer a question……
Can someone explain the source of the money used to pay interest on US Treasury bonds? Any good links to reputable information?
I know……my understanding of economic basics is woefully lacking….I searched the web for an answer to this question and found nothing. It all looks like a Ponzi scheme but I found much propaganda saying it’s not.
Is it just from tax receipts or is it just printed out of thin air…..or is it by selling more treasuries….ie a Ponzi scheme?
It’s found in your Monopoly game.
Ponzi.
Ask yourself what is the US greenback tagged to?
It used to be gold.
Answer:
Now its tagged to the American people themselves.
That is to say we and our kids, grandkids and now great grandkids have been saddled with enormous amounts of debt.
Yes we are actual human resources blood bags to be squeezed over and over milked dry and tossed to the side.
I see lil Joey has announced zero carbon emissions by 2050 looking at that statement does that mean we as carbon emitters will also be canceled?
The mask on your face will have a meter.
Isn’t that how Al Gore arrives at his low carbon lifestyle? You consume as much as you want, but you pay for it, only not really f you are rich, because Wall Street or something.
Gold is the currency of kings,
Silver is the currency of merchants,

We Won The Battle
But lost the war. (the coal wars)
This young man sings it well !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7YwYGG1XNw
I’m going down to Charleston
Through the shadow of the mountain this road winds
Through closed-up towns, forgotten dreams, and welcome signs
Fading far behind
Coal Country
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
Now it lies broken, high, and cold
In its grave of Appalachian stone
Coal Country
Now we don’t need tokens to a company store
That’s what government stamps and codeine’s for
We may have won a few battles but we lost the war
Now we’re slaves and poor
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
Now it lies broken, high, and cold
In its grave of Appalachian stone
Coal Country
Grass so green it’s blue in these hills
You know He’s gonna put a dime
Behind your ear.
Make all things new.
“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.
The national debt as it exists now can never be paid off. – tresho
===========
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.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/22/business/federal-deficit-fiscal-2021.html
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.
“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.
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.
@Hardrock
taxes & issuance of new treasuries, as far as I’ve been instructed
no links
~toktomi~
That is a great, as in great, question, Hardrock.
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.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
Reading your post–so full of love and grief–reminded me of Eliot’s The Wasteland. “These fragments I have shored against my ruins.”
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.
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….
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.
“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”?
Asking for Puck….
elysian, probably, but the general practitioner would be quick on his riposte: “he’s talking out of his ass”
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.
I couldn’t finish it. I had to save it for another time when I might be more able to handle it.
Same here. The quiet of evening once the kiddies are bedded down. Thank you…
It is quite well-written, with the photos interspersed with the narrative.
I think I am better-informed regarding the country, both its past and present.
I’ll echo the thank you for including a photo of your mother.
Thank you Mary, and thanks for the good wishes before the journey too.
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.
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.
Your mum is still a beautiful lady, Rulo.
Cheers, GA
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.
“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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
Tip of the mitten or UP?
I have family up that way, thinking of moving back to the area.
West shore of Saginaw Bay. On the frontier between woke south Michigan, and the awake north. Hunter-gatherer country. Wouldn’t recommend it unless life isn’t difficult enough. Moved back to become a self-sufficient pot farmer and to save my mom from cancer. Failed at both. By this time next year (if there is a next year), I’m working to have my feet on the deck of a sailboat headed to Chicago, the Mississippi, the Keys. High Seas Drifter.
Failure is a better teacher than success, Bird. I wish you luck in your plan to become a high seas explorer privateer. Don’t forget a cat and a parrot for your boat, and name them right. If they are named right, they’ll bring you luck. Old Blind Pew. Queequeg. Vasco Núñez de Balboa.
I’m far from the coasts now, but you’ll always have a port of call on the banks of the historic Suwannee, if you decide freshwater sailor is a less challenging adventure.
Rulo, are there alligators in the Suwannee River?
Islander,
I know you didn’t ask me, but Rulo is busy chasing mushroom-hunting college kids outa the Avocado orchard – or so I assume…
Yes, there are gators in the Suwannee. Yummy, yummy gators…
Make that gator fajitas Rules.
Islander, yes there are.
Bird, the shrooms I know grow only on cowpies. I’m all hat, no cattle.
Do the gators ride the rapids?
Seriously, gators seem to me to be a major problem with Florida! Except the Atlantic Ocean by St. Augustine.
Hey! I live in Michigan. We aren’t all f’ing losers. I’m sorry you fell in among the lost!
Being lost doesn’t necessarily make them losers.
Being losers doesn’t necessarily make them disposable.
There are plenty of good people who deserve to be plucked from the hairball at the bottom of the drain. And a lot who don’t…
Judge not the time that folly takes
For folly has its place
Judge not the line of silence
For in silence we find grace
Leave to wander those who wandering will
And leave to sleep those
Who must dream still
All right, Blackbird, very good.
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

@anmari
“lead tipped” arrow; more nonsense to follow.
~toktomi~
anmari, looks like I have a doppelganger who writes about similar things, but after indulging in a dozen Psylocibe Cubensis mushrooms!
I do love bone marrow though, and just realized I missed my chance to have some on this trip.
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.
Veered into bs
Also Ru, I would call your writing prose-poetry, or maybe that’s mine.
Who knows?
anmari, “Do you feel you were born for this time? That everything culminates here, all your experience, angst, ideas & beliefs.”
Yes. You’ve put it exactly right.
A few corrections. Neruda for Borges. Magic ones for those ones you mention.
Iron General, (Clif Hy! Don’t bother), already at your post. Carry on.
I am of the school you throw it all at the wall, see what sticks.
Never edit because what if you who know NUTHINK edit the perfect diamond buried in the crap.. i leave it to others.
Apologies for smearing my biz up in here.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
here John………..
“The public holds over $22 trillion of the national debt.1 Foreign governments hold a large portion of the public debt, while the rest is owned by U.S. banks and investors, the Federal Reserve, state and local governments, mutual funds, pensions funds, insurance companies, and savings bonds”.
And………… Pay Special Attention to this………..
“If you were to add the debt held by Social Security and all the retirement and pension funds, almost half of the U.S. Treasury debt is held in trust for retirement. If the U. S. ever defaulted on its debt current and future retirees would be hurt the most.”

“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.
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.
Right? How would that sit in America right now.
@tresho
No, I don’t believe the Debts will be repaid.
Where could such excess production come from?
~toktomi~
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.
What the fuck? An Admiral with balls wearing a dress??? The Russians and Chinese can’t fire a missal. They are laughing to hard to get off the floor.
A man takes the historic first for a woman.
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.
Deviled eggs by Faberge
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!
We have no choice but to be positive and keep going. Sure, we may lose, but I am going down swinging.
Agreed. Because the world the psychopaths are making won’t be worth living in anywhere.
Exactly. I’d rather go out than live in the dystopian nightmare they are setting up for us.
That’s the spirit!
MM,
I got through a very bad patch that demanded the utmost of me–no one around to help—by muttering to myself every morning and throughout the day as I contemplated a situation that was absolutely too much for me (the result of a bad decision and then a coup de grace factor that I could not have foreseen): Just keep going.
I got through it.
That is my mantra.
Just keep going.
Islander, that’s very good. A day, even an hour at a time.
You are more optimistic than I am
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.
Mary, your favorite subject is just another result of the cure all mentality, the average Joe or Jill has not a clue about what they are putting in their arms, or mouths.
What ‘favorite subject’ are you talking about?
Big pharma running our governments? Sounds like you just opined the same.
The Covid hoax.
Was it real a year ago? The longer it extends out, the phonier it seems.
Big Pharma running our governments? Or vice versa? Or are OG’s capstone boys running both?
One more
The dumber, more ignorant the public is, the easier it is to pull the wool over their eyes.
Hence, control of the university platform and uncontrolled immigration.
No longer illegal immigration as it is all illegal.

Ol’ Ben would have a field day….
MM, a Republic is a fine idea… for a Polis. For 300+ million? I don’t think so.
R, nowhere near that number when the Republic is restored as a Polis
That’s our hope, anmari. Smaller Republics.
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.
Anyone that tries to force their way in will be murdered by an onsite platoon of repurposed Antifa.
“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.
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?
The entire corporate community has been getting tax breaks and preferential treatment since 1913. Amazon is just one of the latest.
The corruption by money of the government is well documented.
“The entire corporate community has been getting tax breaks and preferential treatment since 1913. ” The economic term was “rent seekers”, which is still useful. Not all economists address this phenomenon.
Michael Hudson does – in great detail.
1913? How can you leave out the land grants to the railroad robber barons?
Speaking of Amazon, we all know their modern business model was the death of previous Jurassic giants like Sears, who didn’t adapt to the new model in nearly enough time (did they ever?).
So I found it amusing the other day when I received a mail-order catalog in the mail…from Amazon.
A hefty middle finger to its one-time rival.
Oh hell no. That would be chucked into the recycling bin in record time.
Amazon has been chosen by Mr. Global to function as the global plantation store.
The CBDC will be named after them. Amacoin, Zoncoin, something like that.
Beryl, the first theory makes the most sense to me. I hadn’t thought of that.
Good of Jim to point out the contrast between Seattle’s extreme deterioration and it’s best-of-the-best residents who don’t seem to have any sense of civic duty to their own hometown. You can add the Boeing executives to that roster.
Warning: another assault on our constitutional rights is underway by the gerentocracy. By monitoring our bank holdings they are infringing on Amendement 6 of the Bill of Rights.
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, PAPERS, and EFFECTS, against unreasonable SEARCHES and seizures, shall not be violated…”
Maybe the bomb cyclone will sink it into the Pacific.
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, PAPERS, and EFFECTS, against unreasonable SEARCHES and seizures, shall not be violated…” The feds have been violating this for a very long time. Consider all the perjury the FBI has filed with FISA.
Law ain’t gonna save us.
Only one thing gonna save us.

@anmari
Only none thing gonna save us.
But you might try cambium and insect larvae if you can ever get there.
~toktomi~
4th amendment, but….yeah.
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.
The income tax did away with almost all rights along those lines over a hundred years ago.
We require a sample from you, citizen.
I can’t help but get a shadenboner at the thought of the weed warriors, who declared that my bladder is no longer private property, when they hear “But there must be Consequences!” from the foaming mouths of the Vaxx fanatics.
Alzaebo – I’m totally adding “schadenboner” to my lexicon. I hope you are okay with that…
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!
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.
Hahahaha, me, too.
I think forced game night would be really popular. Especially if they were forced to play Risk or something. I would thing things could become bombastic pretty quickly. “Tranny Night” could be fun too, but they might enjoy that.
I don’t know, I think I like “Plutocrat Zoo” maybe even better than “Dictator Zoo”?
Game Night – great idea! Naked Twister.
I am pretty sure you need hot tar to keep those feathers in place.
I have read that being tarred and feathered is a most painful death.
Isn’t that a shame?
I’ll make the concession that we could just use glue. More for the visual effect, not the physical.
Out here in peaceable flyover rural America, there is an adhesive of staggering power called F-26! If you’re in the trades chances are you know of what I speak.
Gun up the sumbitches with a coupla tubes of F-26 (strip ‘em starkers firstly) and roll ‘em liberally in poultry. They won’t die.
Out here in armed and medicated drive-by rural America, there is an adhesive of staggering power called Gorilla Glue. If you’re a pothead, you are very familiar with the Cannabis strain of which I speak. Sticks to your fingers as you trim it. Smells like Elmer’s Glue. Leaves you plastered on the couch like a stubborn stain.
However, stoners will follow your sticky footprints, staple you to the garage wall, fire up the salamander, and breathe deeply as you are slow roasted. Then come the munchies…
Up here we use maple syrup. We need the tar for our leaky roofs. Maple syrup has the added value of drawing ants and flies during warm weather, bears and feral hogs during the nine months of winter.
Oooh!
I’m in favor of woodchippers.
Feet first.
I know a guy, a musician who had just scored a record deal, a british import, an atheist convert to RC, who was clearing his newly bought property, alone, wearing a hoody, when one of the neck ties on said hoody got caught in the chipper and he went in head first.
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.
They were not impressed with us, let me tell you.
I think he may have been a saint.
OMFG, if TRUE, that story is the best Darwin award winner that I’ve ever heard of. SRsly, it’s worse than the idjit that walks out into the street while texting on the phone, totally oblivious. I mean, you know you’re using the human disposal tool from Fargo, and you’re not all zipped up tight?
Sounds to me like someone whacked ‘im.
Many have wondered the same. And no one ever heard the album he recorded so, my bet is some twinkle toes superstar got to perform and take credit for his creation.
Also wtf alone and dangly bits? But he was new to it. Poor guy.
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..
Hmmm.
I think the US direction upon dissolution will be Mad Max style, brutal!
Why?
We have no common culture anymore, no ties that bind, no we are all in this together.
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.
Mass desertion, the southern border will be heading in the other direction.
Uh, read about ex pats. It may already have started.
‘I think the US direction upon dissolution will be Mad Max style, brutal!’
This eventuality will be far better than a 1984 type dystopia.
Personally I’m rooting for the Mad Max scenario; I’ve got my horned Viking helmet ready and I’m arranging to have a machine gun welded on the top of my diesel 300SD Mercedes (with a nitro switch that blows fire from the pipes!!!).
🙂
Doc,
Will you be the one wearing ass-less chaps?
Maybe he does already! Joking of course, neuro. But are you willing to eat dogfood straight out of the can?
I’ll be the one………
Driving that old “R” model Mack.
Air Starter and all !!!!!!!!!!
http://www.manlymovie.net/2019/07/one-of-the-best-sounds-youll-hear-in-a-movie.html
Yes! That’s what I’m worried about, that when it all goes Mad Max we have to wear the assless chaps. Such a fashion faux pas. Not Couture.
Dammit! Naught couture.
Wilbur, I grew up next to an A&W Root Beer joint. Quite popular with the drivers. I walked home from school every day for lunch. Many of the truckers had air starters at the time. Quite a sound. I’d watch the original Jeopardy with Art Fleming at noon time.
stelmosfire,
The Queens farms milk tankers all had them too….
I was about 5 or 6 the first one I ever heard.
If you had air, the truck would start, cold or not.
A lot of the drivers , took great satisfaction in waiting till some
unsuspecting person, was along side The truck, before hitting
the lever to engage the starter……….
More than one person soiled themselves from the act.
I’ve routed my nitrous oxide system away from the intake and into the ventilation system. I’m not as fast as I used to be, but I’m probably the happiest motorist on these deer-smeared roads.
Hahaha. Booster shots!
“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.
That book (Worst Hard Time) should be required reading in schools.
The way things are going, I’m hoping that governors like DeSantis, maybe Stitt in OK have trusted people looking into the issuance of state-level currencies.
They could also look at the currencies that were used in the original colonies for inspiration.
We have a local currency, Berkshares. but they’re still backed by US currency. I’ve seen them but never used any. They’ve been around since 2006

The late, great prophet Charlton Heston revealed the future to me in The Omega Man. Another future I can get behind…

Ha. Maybe she will find out what she is!
Pardon my French, but….
….WTF?
Hahahahaa!
I like how she lets us know that women and children are, indeed, people.
‘…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?
“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.
A significant number work for the hospital corporations. Private practices have been in decline. Independence has thus declined as well.
Observex: also, humans love habit and routine. It always amazes me how people coming out of stores with masks on just keep them on as they walk down the streets. Pavlov’s masks!
I like the people who yank their masks off as the step out the door to reveal an angry snarl. Just try to spray them down with disinfectant.
What the doctors and hospitals should know is that overuse of antibacterial substances leads to super bacteria, bacteria which has evolved to be resistant.
This is a widely know phenomena and has been reported for decades.
Therefore, the woman wiping down the chairs, just in case the respiratory virus is also spread butt-to-butt through clothing, by fomites, is participating in a worse than meaningless ritual.
You know what ticked me off the most about the wiped-down seats? You pretty much have to launder your pants after every time you sit on one.
“spread butt-to-butt through clothing, by fomites….”
Paula,
Jesus, this is a family site…decorum please.
Fomites,
I thought they were called sodomites….
Ha, ha, lucky you to forget the first two months of 2020, when we were treated to endless fear porn over “fomites” and lysol and bleach shelves were as empty as the toilet paper shelves.
People were bleaching their food and spraying down their kids. And then that propaganda stopped and switched to the importance of wearing masks.
Loving every second of Alec Baldwin’s karma.
the woman who was the ‘armorer’? is a Satanist and her dad is also in show biz [or was] and she was on the Brandon Lee set.
suspicious.
That sure is a lot of coinkydink.
It really sounds like the producers let her run ‘roughshot’ – haha! Literally, shooting off guns randomly, and pissing Nick Coppola off *bigtime* . I always wonder about young people with hyphenated last names…
I read that off hours they were using his gun for target practice.
His daughter, who seems to be a very nice person, is upset over the “insensitive” remarks people are making.
This is Alec Baldwin. He threatens to hit people who annoy him.
As both the producer and owner of the finger that pulled the trigger, he is responsible for every little thing that went wrong on that set.
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.
That’s quite a story. It’s good that people pass these down.
“It’s good that people pass these down.” I am still making a point of doing that. For medical people I have a story of the ER that made a house call. Also the young man who had a positive pregnancy test. I’ve a got a million of them.
We all make mistakes, but running out of bullets prematurely is a good way to make sure you don’t return home.
“running out of bullets prematurely” That’s why they gigged him. He had no bitterness when he told me about that. He knew his duty.
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.
Hmmm. I am thinking that might be a good strategy for all people struggling with PTSD.
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.
Mary enjoys levelling false accusations against the mentally ill and calling them, “Schizo” in her sadistic efforts to cause them yet more pain and agony and yet more damage rather than healing.
Sad but True.
Not to mention he had the gun pointed at the DP and director!
Wonder if that’s the daughter he referred to on national video as a ‘fat pig’
I had read about the sand fly experiments, but having seen it on a non-mainstream-narrative-approved website, I got to wondering how many of the indoctrinated left would hear about it (knowing full well that they’d rather not.) 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.
It has shown up now in the Washington Post, which means it’s a political ploy.
Bingo.
TBH, it was like that here too, for quite some time. At the start of 2020, for example, some of the things some of us were talking about that are now accepted were called conspiracies.
Heck, Corona was still taken seriously by quite a few until about a month ago.
I so enjoy your posts, Jim. Thank you for all you do. Anecdotal information for you. I’m a corporate recruiter. Up until a week ago, nobody talked vaxxes. Now everybody is. As companies announce mandates, my phone is ringing off the hook. Best guess…40-50% unvaxxed. The people behind the curtain know this. There are too many of us. We’ve already won. All we need now is some rope and strong branches.
Gates has promised us a real pandemic. The unvaxed will really die from that one – and their cause will be destroyed.
Look how far they got with the little or nothing of covid 19.
The unvaxed will really die from that one ??
AND THE JABBED WILL LIVE?
Yeah that makes no sense to me.
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?
Google Black plague. Took out something like a third of Europe. They have it “on file” along with others.
Don’t need to google black plague.
It wasn’t a virus.
What a great way to discredit us. And they do want to reduce the world’s population in any case.
Except the parts that do need depopulating, are the same aborigines using Ivermectin for river worm and HCQ for malaria.
They’re unscathed, but WE are not the problem.
.Shoot, we’re the goshdam solution.
We’re the Elves. Everybody wants to be us or a piece of us, as per Creation’s design.
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.
“UK Daily Mail, a conservative rag, but still the best selling popular newspaper in the country” That’s where I go regularly to read news about the USA.
Me too.
That’s where I first saw the Fauci/beagle puppies story:
Tresho: it’s a strange mix: lots of celeb garbage, lots of tory propaganda, but occasionally a real humdinger slipped in. TBF, it’s also broken a few anti-China flu stories in the past.

From the prior blog thread:
“a Big mistake walking away from Jesus Christ of Nazareth” – OG
============
Aren’t those bolded words superfluous? Do you know of a Jesus Christ of anywhere else?
Should I change my screen name to Q. Shtik of Central Jersey?
Q,
Remember that hearing “Jesus loves you” is not necessarily what you want to hear if in a Mexican prison….
ef, brilliant!
LOL.
Q: Never heard of Jesus of Spokane? The guy got around.
“what happens when puppy-dogs are pinned down so that ravenous sandflies can chew their snouts off.”
Well CFN’rs,
If I were king, or a billionaire, or otherwise imbued with the ability;
I would kill every motherfucker involved in the experiment…
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.
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.
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.
They use beagles because they are so sweet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”?
@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.
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)…
I’d put every single person involved in the scamdemic, lockdowns, and forced vaccines on trial for their lives.
President Trump can claim that people holding high levels of public health responsibility lied to him, which is true, so he will get off easy.
As for that woman in New Zealand, I do not understand why a mob hasn’t already gone Robespierre on her.
Right? Jeez. Look at her here:
“Jacinda Goes Full Psycho”
https://themostbeautifulworld.com/blog/jabcinta
One skinny miserable bitch. Hundreds of strong men.
Yet, she persists.
Millions, I should have said.
They can’t unite. She has paid men who will defend her against the few who come against her.
The human tragedy. Psychopaths are able to rule us because of our deficient natures.
What pissed me off more than her gleeful “we can do whatever we want to you scum” answer was the cringe-worthy deference and respect the eunuch ‘journalist’ displayed with his question.
She and Dictator Dan get off on this. Much like Gates and Schwab.
Quite so. One cannot befriend, persuade, or reason with a rabid dog. Even if that dog was once a beloved friend, there is only one option.
Yes, you can see it in that completely obnoxious shrug and smile.
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"
Ha ha! I found her charming & attractive.
You sure extrapolate a lot out of a 12-second clip.
Now tell us about the Aussies in Sydney or Melbourne, R.L. And how much good it’s done them to be locked down so long. I’m sure it’s more than 8 days in 18 months.
By the way, do you support forced vaccination? Whatever happened to women having sovereignty over their own bodies?
Still love Dr Fauci, the dog torturer?
You support evil people and evil causes. What does that say about you, R.L.?
RL finds the nazi with a horseface attractive and charming.
Why am I not surprised?

The person who slapped down the most hated US Senator is from the Northern Territory. He’s not responsible for what happens in other Australian States. Check NT’s record on lock-downs etc.
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.
MaryQueer – I imagine you’re right-proper horse-faced yourself, and probably a Nazi too, if you were scratched hard enough. Yet I don’t admire you. No surprise there either huh?
And the ultimate in gas-lighting:
“Still love Dr Fauci, the dog torturer?
You support evil people and evil causes. What does that say about you, R.L.?”
Please refer us all to where I proclaimed “love” (or any emotion or even bare opinion) on Fauci?
Where do you get off stating, without cause or supporting evidence, that I ‘support evil people and evil causes’? Cut the crap.
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.
@rl
You support Democrats and their ridiculous platform for destroying our my wonderful country.
That means you support evil.
You support mashed potato brains as resident in the Whitehouse and that is another toss of the hat into the ring of support for evil, corruption and general fucktardery.
I’ll second the motion. On killing the motherfucking puppy killers.
Having lived next to a beagle, I can almost approve of cutting the vocal cords, but those sandflies? Sick.
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.”

“At the beginning of 2019 we were told of a deadly viral outbreak from a wet market in Wuhan. We were shown videos of people dropping dead in the streets.
Some of us knew at the time that it was staged, but most believed it. Now, most don’t believe it.”
Some, however, still believe it.
Too many believe it!
Yeah some are still waiting feverishly for the next round of booster shots that do nothing but injure.
Yet, hear we are, still fighting. 50% unvaxxed, whole regions of the world going with Ivermectin and millions protesting.
We are!
And remember: The PTB own all the means of messaging or close to it, and we’re still at 50% refusal.
Good on us.
Speaking of which, Alex Berenson has commented on how hard they are trying to keep us in the dark, and how badly they are failing.
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/the-first-rule-of-writing-about-unreported/comments
Thanks, that’s a good one.
If you’re saying that 50% of the eligible US population is unvaccinated, then you are incorrect.
USA vaccination figures:
Fully vaccinated 191 million = 57.8%
Plus those with first shot to date 72 million (extrapolated) = 263 million total.
Unvaccinated = 67 million
What 50%?
https://www.google.com/search?q=USA+vaccination+rates&oq=USA+vaccination+rates&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i10i131i433j0i10l8.6167j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
You can’t believe the CDC numbers, because they intentionally lied/obfuscated/muddied waters/ etc.
Same with the number of vaxxed.
Who tracked the idiots who got vaxxed at Mickey D’s or Quick E Mart?
LOL.
MaryContrary – yep. I just knew your response would a) be first and b) state exactly that. You’re getting very predictable…and boring.
Vaccination clinics at stores, breweries and other atypical sites are handled and tracked by either the local health department or a health care system.
Redneck, if your numbers are correct, you and the iron booted regime you love can relax. We’ve reached the level of vaccination needed for herd immunity. No need to persecute the small number of resistors.
Aren’t you and your kind protected by the vaccine? We the unclean can’t hurt you. Why all the paranoia and hysteria? Just keep getting those boosters every 4 months. What?! They didn’t mention that at the start?
Oh, and please continue to ignore the data pouring in from countries all over the world about how most of those now being hospitalized with Covid are the vaccinated. Mustn’t let the facts disturb your brainwashed mind!
hmuller
Nah – herd immunity is +90% including recovered (or mostly recovered long-haulers). But as you guys are clearly in a shrinking minority, guess what? I expect the ‘iron boot’ won’t be lifted off your scrawny throats (but that’s not up to me, is it?).
You will not be required to be vaccinated, but you will endure the consequences of that decision.
“…the data pouring in from countries all over the world about how most of those now being hospitalized with Covid are the vaccinated.”
Oh? Where is this much-vaunted data to be found, aside from deep inside MaryQ’s ass?
Headlines like this, I expect, stir your fevered imaginings,
https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/08/25/significant-proportions-of-people-admitted-to-hospital-or-dying-from-covid-19-in-england-are-vaccinated-this-doesnt-mean-the-vaccines-dont-work/
but if you actually READ the piece two things become apparent:
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.
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.
“Most” – what about the rest?
Aside from bacterial & parasitic diseases, what ARE the rest of these illnesses caused by, Dr. Mary?
I just now received my first JHK book, “Living in the Long Emergency.” And, it’s a signed copy. Thank you, James!
I might be able to even finish it in the next few days as it’s raining nonstop here.
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.
I would like to see a piece on where to go from here.
If you can find it, JHK did a TV show with two other guys called The Prophets of Doom. One of the three said water was no. One, JHK of course was Peak Oil and the third was AI and it’s effects on the economy.
Well presented!
Well, I doubt I’ll be all that shocked. I have mentioned what first shocked me was reading “Radical Evolution” in a class I took a few years back.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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…
LOL. After that, he would have known. And yet, he pushed the vax, etc.
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.
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.
They have gotten away with 1000s of events since 9/11.
Agree. It’s been false flags and perception management all the way down, steering the Narrative.
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.
Link?
I keep forgetting, I have been meaning to post this explanation of the behavior of “diabolical narcissists”.

What is the capital of Israel (warning: trick question!)?
Depends on who you ask.
“What is the capital of Israel”
“Depends on who you ask.”
I have a trick question I bring out now & then:
“What is state is Columbus, Ohio the capital of?”
Because I like my current username, I can’t answer that question.
Hahaha.
yes. I too have gotten an email.
yes. I too have gotten an email.
Hey, the only email I got was good. (Yeah, still chasing that dragon.) And I’d like to keep it that way.
The K-Man keeps the coolest birdfeeder. I try to eat and chirp here and poop elsewhere…
And here I thought that the K-man was still a K-dog… That’s a sad story, indeed – RIP doggy-doo (why do ‘they’ have such short lives).
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
https://extension.sdstate.edu/novel-coronavirus-and-livestock-there-connection
Hmmm
They keep saying bats. Could a mutation have occurred between cattle and humans?
IT has not been isolated. What you see are graphic cartoons.
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.
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. “”
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.
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.
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.
“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.
The south stays indoors during the heat. The north starts staying indoors right about now.
Yup, that is one, a big one.
How about the length of day? UV light. The entire environment is affected.
If you look at the trend charts, the onset this year was the same everywhere, about the middle of July. The south ramped up much faster.
How much info have you seen gleaned by our illustrious Heath care folks?
Right now the south is 80% down the backside, the north is turning the corner or plateaued.
They need to put uv light into the ducting systems of heating and air conditioning units.
They also need to clean or replace the filters more than once a year.
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.
No wonder the elite are desperate to try and get a handle on things. It’s a bit ironic that their greatest success to date have been the western civ nations.
Yes, “vaccine” passports that will change the way you live in every conceivable way, and will lead to starvation and removal from society for millions, are just a “small bump in the road.”
LOL.
Hmmm
Ever think that all the Covid stuff is a distraction while the capstone folks pull the rug out from under us? Hitler used the Jews as his Covid. Every power base needs distraction to hide its real agendas.
You mean, what we’ve been pointing out and talking about for 1.6 years now? Is it sinking in?
I’m guessing by tomorrow you’ll be asking again – lol.
I will keep asking it until the PTB admit their sins. Until then it is conjecture. Until then the PTB will just continue what they are doing.
Circular Reference!
If we won’t Believe that obviously guilty scumbags are not guilty until they fess up, then the jails would be empty.
No, OG , all your bitching is for naught until someone credible shoves it down their throats what the real situation is. It will just continue to go one and on until then.
Hint, we do not even know what the real situation is.
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.
“In the future, you will own nothing. And you will be happy.”
That’s why “the national debt” doesn’t matter.
It won’t be repaid or paid off, it’s just a bus nearing it’s destination where the drivers step off.
Al,
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.
That’s the shit you fall for, not us.
You’re the one taking the experimental jabs.
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?
That last 1 you posted in the last thread was truly Xsell ant debz
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.”

It takes a lot of nerve to show up on someone’s blog and tell them how often they should publish and what to write about.
And yet, there are no shortage of people who do this.
A lot of nerve makes for more productive Free Speech.
Mr K is not above criticism in the Public space. No one is. That’s how it works.
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.
Mr K is top-notch in an era gone mad. We all know that. TruStory
My comment has nothing to do with ‘free speech.’ In fact, disagreement with the commenter is me practicing my ‘free speech.’
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.
To liz harmon’s point, my LinkedIn is blowing up with recruiters looking for engineering staff.
At my current firm, the CEO dropped the mandate and then set up a jab clinic in the cafeteria that lasted for about a day, then disappeared after the booster update was dropped by the FDA.

Awww… puppies! Nothing brings out our humanitee like puppies!
Adorable little things, every one of them, precious beyond measure.
In fact, they are literally priceless: just look at craigslist.

Which is amazing because there are 90 million pet dogs in the United States.
So naturally our mental health must be sky high!
And it is!
Because we are the Greatest Country on Earth!

100 million!
WOW… our pets are like, the only thing standing between us and a bout of psychosis.
An animal… with a brain the size of a lemon or a walnut FINALLY a being with which I can relate!
All caps are a sure sign of mental stability.

A person that doesn’t like dogs (Especially men)
Is not to be trusted………
And a man a dog doesn’t like……. Even More so !!

A Dog Knows how, The minute they are born.
The Indians often considered them live stock.
Especially the Lakota.
Everybody is mentally ill. It is merely a matter of degree.

I’m Absolutely sure………
Wilbur, would pick up on you Immediately.
And just like me, Wilbur tends to attack head on….
never behind ones back.
It’s mental illness.
This is throwing random cutesiness at the wall and extracting a kernel of spite.
People who despise our animal friends are the worst people on the planet.
Yeah, WHAT ecocide?
Not true I tolerate cats but honestly they are annoying!
Love dogs never met a dog I didn’t like even some of the less than friendly ones.
What would be really interesting though is getting a bad case of Leishmaniasis from a sand fly, maybe on an eyelid while you sleep, and spending the next 6 months having your face melt off.
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.
Nuthin ivermectin can’t handle debz

I was Wrong.
I know that you will get a kick out of me saying that. You accused me of trying to prove infallibility while I assured you that I am far, far from that. I am merely a lowly sinner – lowest of the low.
Anyway, I was Wrong. It happens. When it does and it is proven legit, I am the first to recognize and aplogize as neccessary. Growing up here on The Prairies, we “man up” as Right trumps Pride.
At least we used. Back in the day …

Anyway, the La Palma tsunami that I Believe is coming soon will not hit Buffalo or even Rochester. Not even close.
Last night I heard of a crest wave of 30-50 metres that would deluge the Eastern coast of North America for 5 to 45 minutes and would obliterate everything 12-15 miles from shore or perhaps a little further inland.
Rochester can get back to worrying about vax mandates on high ground.
Sounds like time to head back to Hobe Sound and work on my surfing.
Ha!
I am not preaching on this blog here as much as asking questions. My main concern about many issues is how little we know about mighty huge issues. Your statement was unnecessary. Our job on this blog is to explore issues to try to find Truth, not conjecture.
The possibility of a large land slip in the Azores or Canary Islands has been thought about for a while. Tsunamis in the Pacific have been traced to big chunks falling into the ocean in Hawaii. I have seen pictures of hills near the island edge in the Canary’s with wide splits in them.
If one let go, what do you think would happen to the East Coast?

I do not “conjecture” The Truth, JAZ. We all know that.
You find my response to your assumed thoughts in my head of infalibility unneccessary, do you?
Well, that’s strange.

Hey GA,
Can’t you Scots run a simple Nazi program without bunglin’ it up?
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-59034619
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.
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.\
EVs are toys for rich people with their heads stuck up their asses, expenses pieces of sh#t that won’t survive a year once state subsidies stop rolling in.
I know, I know, NYTs readers all want one.
Yep, absolutely BRH !!!!
Try using one of those stupid things up here in the north east,
When it goes down below 0 F , and stays there for 10 days.
Fricken people ain’t got a single clue in the world.
Yep. EV batteries don’t work well in the cold and help start car fires.
The EV designated license plate pretty much guarantees a choice parking space at a charging station parking spot.
Dr. Fauci has been in a place of power for 40 years because America is like a pond, the scum rises to the top.
I hope the puppies take him down, but there are others waiting to take his place. And of course, most people will commit atrocities for a paycheck. Only the ones that enjoy it get promoted.
100% spot on.
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”
I’ve taken two Moderna shots already. A booster is just more of the same, so how can I lose? I am a survivor, with the Eye of the Tiger.
Many might root for my demise but I assure you that I will be back after the booster, maligning puppies as per usual.
Remember post-9/11?
NO FEAR!!!!

NO FEAR!!!
Does not mean to go strolling through the lion’s den.
More of the same? We heard someone put some of the Moderna concoction under a microscope and it was a veritable zoo in there.
Might be an entire Noah’s nano-ark by the time you get your booster.
“We heard someone…”
GA, back in the day, you’d not have tolerated such unsubstantiated statements. What’s happened?
Some people know how to communicate without needing to provide links and proof of everything they say.
It’s fun not to live in libtard authoritarian land.
You really are beyond redemption, Cat Lady.
The links were posted already, RL. I assumed most people reading had looked at the photos and listened to the person giving their testimony. Perhaps you didn’t listen, or perhaps you listened and chose to put your fingers in your ears and sing la la la. Perhaps you listened properly, looked at the photos, and were not convinced.
It happens.
Hahahaha, well put, GA.
Nanobot zoo.
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
Agree, except that there will be no lawsuits.
They have already been immunized from lawsuits, with no boosters needed.
Snack Cake,
Should we accord you the NY City burial with honors? Rolled up in the Sunday NY Times and stuffed in a dumpster.
Oh I am sorry to hear that your wife & BIL are getting jabbed up. 🙁
Q and Alba,
I want you to have playing the Stew Peters patent vids, video off when your respective partners arrive home. After the intros.
You are just giving your eyes a rest and listening for a change.
John Az, you should probably listen to them as well.
Just dry enough you might get away with it. And win…..
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.
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. 🙂
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.
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.
With apols for the length. 🙂
“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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
Too distressing. Well, sounds to me like he’s already on board.
If we’re spared….
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¢.
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.
Every knock is a boost.
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.
Mary, please turn me on to a website that says those pics are simulations. I am interested in finding out.
With all due respect, you’re not interested. We’ve posted all the relevant info for months up here. I’m not going to spend time fetching things for you.
wow
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.
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.
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 agree with N.O. You’re one dumb mofo.
@MaryQuaint
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!
“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
*Yawn* – haven’t you got a NEW conspiracy for us yet?
RL, I’m half expecting the flat earth CT to get teed off here at some point.
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.
A part of me still thinks that those who go along with this nonsense deserve it.
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?
Because they didn’t care if they lost, OG.
No, it is because they couldn’t.
No, Mary.
The government legal teams involved just “didn’t care enough” to show the proof that “The Virus” exists.
I am a deep thinker.
LOL.
What sense does that make? What possible motive would they fight a Propaganda War against “misinformation” yet then Spain, Canada & USA all feed it Big-time … because … because …
You need open your mind, Bill.
Our planet is ran by Satanists and it is Show Time!
Sad but True.
Admiral Rachel Levine, now there’s a leader who inspires confidence in the Fleet; looking wierd with his pear shaped body, long scraggly hair, 5 o’clock shadow, wearing a women’s uniform showing hairy legs and thick masculine ankles … as I write this a combined Russian/Chinese fleet is circling Japan like a school of sharks, looking askance at the face of this new style Admiral the USA is showing to the world.
Truly surreal.
Even Ike never saw this coming from the MIC.
America has gone to Hell.
I can’t help but think that the US is China’s toy now, and they are going to humiliate the hell out of us before they take over completely.
Otherwise, there is no explanation for the US brass humiliating themselves in this manner.
I keep wondering………..
If that video, circulating a week ago…….
With the Generals from the CCP saying………..
All the vaccinated in the US will be dead by spring……..
has absolutely any truth to it at all ??????
It makes a person wonder
If we got sold out ?????????
You sold yourself out in exchange for 3 decades of everyday low prices.
They bought the USA fair and square and own your T-Bills to prove it.
In a perfect Revenge of the Manhattan Nation, you sold your country for plastic trinkets.
And I, just like many others…………
had Not One I-ota of say in it at all OG.
I remember reading, when they bought out our factories…..
They even took the loose bricks in the walls before they left.
The Northeast is full of old, empty, factories they pillaged.
Believe me, I have seen the destruction, as a person that has
been behind the wheel of a truck, for the last 43 years .
I have Absolutely , No Answers, anymore at all.
This again, OG? Pretty sure I pointed out a few weeks back that about 10% of Walmart stores are located in Canada, and that Canada has about 10% of the population of the US, so…equally culpable as far as “cheap crap from China” debt.
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!
Being located above us on the map doesn’t equal moral/fiscal superiorty.
Thank you, WH. It is refreshing to hear an American “man up” to this situation and how we got here.
You had nothing to do with it? You never shopped at WalMart for these past 30 years? You don’t have a house full of shit stamped Made in China?
My point is: We all participated. We all are Good people who did not stop evil.
Now we are here.
The USA is in foreclosure.
I bought American (or N American) until, it Wasn’t available,
Or affordable anymore ie: a pair of work boots still made here
$300. plus dollars ????
American made Vise-grips ??????
Snap-on tools ?? Craftsman, Stanley……….
relics from the past now.
I remember buying a pair of fence pliers, the kid getting them
out of the cabinet said ” but these (china made) are $10 cheaper”.
my response was, “maybe, just maybe, someone here, will
have a job for a day longer by buying these (usa made) “.
Not all of us, have contributed knowingly OG.
It is refreshing to hear an American “man up” to this situation and how we got here.
Pretty sure we do that daily here on this comment section. Self-deprecation (or at least general deprecation of the public at large) is one of the common themes.
But I appreciate your pivot to using the word “we”.
Not trying to pick at you, just want to understand the bias. We know we suck in a lot of ways. You know Canada sucks in a lot of ways. We’re all well aware of this.
Good on you, WH. We were definitely in the minority. Most sheeple thought that everyday low prices meant live life larger while you & I and a few others saw this as a road to ruin.
God bless you, sir.
And God bless America.

Mr M,
[God, please grant me Strength.]
Yes, we were through this already, Mr M. Yes, Canada participated in WalMart statistically on scale with Wisconsin or Arkansas.
CFNers keep bemoaning that China is taking you over without acknowledging that China bought you fair and square. So I must keep informing others – please do not read me if you find that bothersome.
I am dealing with Reality while you attack the messenger.
My feelings of Canada &/or the USA are irrelevant. Let’s talk facts as opposed to your psychological analysis as to why I present the facts that people here do not like or even acknowledge (i.e. like children).
Canada is irrelevant. The Jubilee ran on Nixon/Kissinger fiat US Petro-dollar and the NYSE. The USA did all of this and now I’m being unfair pointing it out here in this political spectrum of Free Speech?
I don’t think so.
I appear to have struck a nerve, and it appears your request for strength (because…I’m so difficult to respond to?) was answered.
Consider it an attack if you wish, it’s just something I notice a lot, and wanted to know why.
Was merely pointing out out that calling people out en masse is a shitty way to argue a point. Any point.
And of course you know that…yet do it from time to time along these hypothetical northern border lines. I’m in Minnesota, what’s the big difference? I can be in Winnipeg in a matter of hours and get the same hamburger I can get here. Just with gravy, for some reason.
Sorry to point out the obvious. Let’s just call it an exercise in undue American self-indulgence.
“The Jubilee ran on Nixon/Kissinger fiat US Petro-dollar and the NYSE. The USA did all of this and now I’m being unfair pointing it out here in this political spectrum of Free Speech?
I don’t think so.”
Where was the great Canadian resistence to this folly? Or even the mild Canadian resistence? In fact, wtf do Canadians even do up there, we never hear anything from them
we never hear anything from them
We are hearing it here! Apparently it was America’s job to do everything right or everyone else gets to blame us.
The perception of our government’s actions warrants that view. But that shouldn’t carry over to the perception of our people any more than it does anywhere else.
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.
I think it’s fair to say that the US as the declining global hegemon is, as the Iranians say, “The Great Satan”. Canada, as well as Australia and New Zealand are our little sisters, whom we [redacted] regularly and repeatedly – but hey, it’s consensual, if maybe a bit incestuous. The UK? Our mama whom we also, yes, [redacted]. The EU? An expensive whore. (Oops – meant to say [redacted].) Latin America? Our bitch – whom we beat regularly. Africa? The middle east? Well, I do like my username…
But yeah, you Tim Horton’s fans – you happily got into the car with us. So put your Walmart goodies back in that plastic bag, fire up your iPhone, and find us the most direct route to the Grand Canyon.
Wow! Where to begin?
[God, please grant me Endurance.]
I am Canadian and Justly criticize the USA.
Instead of Americans looking at this Just criticism of their country (i.e. self-reflect), everybody attacks the messenger, assumes shit he didn’t say or even thinks, and completely ignores the message.
Even after I explain all that … still Just more of the same.

Yes, China is buying Canada while it forecloses on the USA.
No, they do not have all our T-Bills as they do the USA’s because nobody has ever run anywhere even close to the astronomical Trade Inbalances in the history of mankind. Modern-day Canada included.
Canada is neither a saint nor immune to China taking over North America and I wish that CFNers would stop Wrongly <b<assuming that I think otherwise.
Canada in irrelevant. We all know.
Canada is a provider of natural resources and the economies to facilitate that purpose.
US$ – that’s the racket. Fiat Pero-Dollars with the Fed at the keyboard. They looted Earth clean based on your debt. This is not personal. These are facts.
Not Winnipeg’s debt. Not Winnipeg’s Parliament.
Minneapolis’ debt. Minneapolis’ federal government.
You act like USA can fuck up the Whole planet but how dare one of the 95.7% of Earth’s population that is not American weigh-in on your fucking it all up.
I don’t think that that is fair.

I speak Truth, Mr M. I’m not looking for your tips on how to win friends and influence people. America needs be held accountable for what and it will.
[Before anyone makes more Bad assumptions, yes, Canada goes down too.]

I have said many times that average American people are fantastic. Friendly, helpful, generous, the works.
God bless America. Kate Smith & apple pie. Richie Cunningham and Luke Skywalker. Muddy Waters and Joan Rivers.
But a population is responsible for the actions of its government and youse guys have been stomping all over this planet meddling with/in every other government on Earth, friend and foe, since World War II!
You fucked things up Big-time and then ad hom Canada rather than face what you have done.
imho, of course.
everybody attacks the messenger, assumes shit he didn’t say or even thinks, and completely ignores the message.
OG – Who in the hell is ignoring the message? We say the same things all the time!
Struggling to figure out what your stance is here. So being asked why you rail on Americans (instead of the American government) amounts to not listening to you (or saying the exact same things you do)? I don’t recall contradicting or ignoring your messages. Only the delivery method. And you haven’t answered my fucking question either. Welcome to your world with MaryQueen, I guess.
“Sir, I’d like to get off this ride, please. It makes no sense.”
If we’re enemy countries in your eyes, fine. But no one that I know down here sees it that way. What’s going on up there?
Note to self: constructive criticism not acceptable. Sensitive topic.
