Emily Oster’s Plea Bargain

Shuck-and-jive from America’s broken thinking class, the people who pretend to know better than everybody else.

By now, everybody and his uncle has seen Emily Oster’s plea for “pandemic amnesty” in The Atlantic magazine, a house organ of the people in America who know better than you do about… really… everything. Emily’s wazoo is so stuffed with gold-plated credentials (BA, PhD, Harvard; economics prof at Brown U) it’s a wonder that she could sit down long enough to peck out her lame argument that “we need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.”

Emily wasn’t “in the dark.” She had access to the same information as the Americans who recognized that everything the public health authorities, the medical establishment, and many elected officials shoveled out about Covid and its putative remedies and preventatives was untrue, with a patina of bad faith and malice — especially when it was used to persecute their political adversaries.

These dissenters turned out to be “right for the wrong reasons,” she declared, the main reason being that they were not aligned in good-think with the Woke-Jacobinism of her fellow “progressives” at Brown U, and academics all across the land, who were righteously busy destroying the intellectual life of the nation, making it impossible for the thinking class to think.

Let’s face it: every society actually needs a thinking class, a cohort able to frame important issues-of-the-moment that require argument in the public arena to align our collective thoughts and deeds with reality. America used to have a pretty good thinking class, with a pretty good free press and many other platforms for opinion — all animated by respect for the first amendment to the Constitution.

The thinking class destroyed that by vigorously promoting a new censorship regime in every American institution, shutting down free speech and, more crucially, the necessary debate for aligning our politics with reality. Hence, America’s thinking class became the torchbearers of unreality, in step with the Party of Chaos which seized the levers of power. This included the powers of life and death in the matter of Covid-19.

These were the people who militated against effective early treatment protocols (to cynically preserve the drug companies’ emergency use authorization (EUA) and thus their liability shields); the people who enforced the deadly remdesivir-and-ventilator combo in hospital treatment; the people who rolled out the harmful and ineffective “vaccines”; who fired and vilified doctors who disagreed with all that; the ones who engineered a long list of abusive policies that destroyed businesses, livelihoods, households, reputations, and futures.

How did it happen that the thinking class destroyed thinking and betrayed itself? Because the status competition for moral posturing in the sick milieu of the campus became more important to them than the truth. In places like Brown U, what you saw was an escalating contest for status brownie-points, which is what virtue-signaling is all about. And the supreme virtue was going along with whatever “experts” and people-in-authority said — the pathetic virtue of submission. Anything that got in the way of going along — such as differences of opinion — had to be crushed, stamped out, and with a vicious ruthlessness, to teach the dissenters a lesson: dissent will not be tolerated!

Some thinking class. The case of Emily Oster should be particularly and painfully disturbing, since she affects to specialize, as an economist, on “pregnancy and parenting” (her own website declares), while the Covid regime of public health officialdom she supported instigated a horrendous pediatric health crisis that is ongoing — it was only days ago that the CDC added the harmful mRNA “vaccines” to its childhood immunization schedule for the purpose of conferring permanent legal immunity for the drug companies after the EUA ends, a dastardly act. Where’s Ms. Oster’s plea to the CDC to cease and desist trying to vaccinate kids with mRNA products?

The CDC is still running TV commercials (during World Series ballgames!) touting its “booster” shots when only weeks ago a top Pfizer executive, Janine Small (“Regional President for Vaccines of International Developed Markets”), revealed in testimony to the European Union Parliament that her company never tested its “vaccine” for preventing transmission of SARS CoV-2. The CDC under Director Rochelle Walensky is still extra-super-busy concealing or fudging its statistical data to obfuscate the emerging picture that MRNA “vaccines” are responsible for the shocking rise of “all-causes deaths” in the most heavily-vaxxed nations. In short, the authorities are to this minute still running their whole malign operation.

Notably, Ms. Oster’s plea for amnesty and forgiveness, showcased in The Atlantic, omits any discussion of accountability for what amounts to serious crimes against the public. A whole lot of people deserve to be indicted for killing and injuring millions of people. At the heart of her plea is the excuse that “we didn’t know” official Covid policy was so misguided. That’s just not true, of course, and is simply evidence of the thinking class’s recently-acquired allergy to truth. The part she left out of her petition for pandemic amnesty is: we were only following orders.

    WE the PEOPLE – or me anyway, DEMAND

    Nuremberg style trials for the COVIDIAN cult…

    WE want the criminals who conducted this pogrom held accountable for their actions.

    WE further demand an end to ALL gain of function research. NO EXCEPTIONS.

    We further demand the outright abolishment of DERIVATIVE securities, and we demand that one dollar of equity equal one dollar of capital

    Thank you.

      operating off public information, i learned way back when the virus is all there was, that it’s effect relied on ACE2 binding sites, which any spike protein producing “cure” would lock up.

      also learned the so called vacks had next to zero testing, and no long term assesment of effects.

      lastly, a vacks that injects mRNA into cells, potentially incorporates into DNA, and has no off switch, cannot be a good thing.

      i concluded all this a week after the so called vacks was introduced, and so could anyone else with basic reading comprehension and an will to dig.

      but noooooooo……. i was wrong.

      forgiveness for that? NFW!

      • Paula D November 4, 2022 at 12:02 pm #

        You were right! But for the wrong reasons, whatever that means.

        So it doesn’t count, apparently.

        Forgive their parents perhaps for birthing them, but then round ’em all up and ship ’em off to Devil’s Island. I would not be surprised if the planned gen0ocide is not eventually found out to be the plan, but I would be awfully surprised if anything is ever done about it, or the criminals are ever brought to justice and scheduled for a neck stretching event.

          What part of UN Agenda 2030 don’t people understand? It is all about depop, climate crisis, EV, anti-fossil fuel, anti-farming, carbon footprint, and pro-war.

          China and Russia are signors and supporters of UN Agenda 2030. Is the West and US confrontations with the East all part of the plan for depop. Conspirators to kill off each others useless eaters. If you want to know who wants you dead, you will have a choice of your executioner this coming Tuesday or at least Dominion will.

            Exactly and as far as elections are concerned, you and I completely understand the fact that since both sides came right out and declared that elections are rigged if they don’t get their way, duh why have any faith in the corrupted process at all. Yeah, we get it, it’s rigged, and we are now not only useless eaters to them, but useless voters as well. Once AI evolves a bit further, we will all be totally useless to them. We know what happens then, right?

            The American government has degraded into a cesspool and the scum has clearly risen to the top (no offense to Tulsi, Rand, or Ron and the other selected few).

      • Yirgach November 10, 2022 at 11:51 am #

        I’m lucky to have the other (much better) half as a microbiologist who also consults on clinical trials for drug resistant TB medicine.
        For example, she has worked on one project for over 20 years, they are still following the original test/control groups of several thousand. The last mRNA booster was tested on a total of 8 mice. Must be OK, right?

        We saw what was happening from the getgo, but all we could do about it was prep and help close family and friends get access to the forbidden drugs.

        It was extremely ironic to have a conversation with any medical professional about what was going on with this stuff as they had no clue what the process should be as opposed to what the cretins were actually doing.

        So now the current Covid/Flu season is starting, because as usual people have a lower Vitamin D level because of the daylight shortening. How many Drs. recommended increased Vit D for their patients? How many lost their license because of that?

        Most Drs. violated their Hippocratic Oath, which is something we’ll never forget. I remind them every time I see one.

        Makes them squirm.

    • Night Owl November 4, 2022 at 9:57 am #

      Most should be tried and locked up for life. A few select ones should be tried and sentenced to death.

      All of their enablers, including everyday assholes who looked away while families were locked out of supermarkets and the “unvaxed” removed from society via fascistic laws like “2G” here in Germany, also deserve punishment, but will never get it.

      Fuck every last one of you cowards.

      • UN OUT OF USA November 4, 2022 at 10:19 am #

        Agreed NO, but it will not happen as long as we Americans sit on our collective asses and do nothing but type away on our keyboards. The elites who did this to us are not afraid of keyboard warriors. Our Founders gave us the 2nd Amendment for exactly these kinds of injustices and until we use it, nothing will change.

        • niner November 4, 2022 at 10:48 am #

          there is a political dimension to our revenge and demand for justice, and that is that not only these power-sucking public health mandarins and martinets be personally punished, but their entire pyramid of “health” agencies be demolished.

          we need to reconsider the current rule by “experts” as codified in the administrative procedures act, and our mistaken switch from states rights to federal agency law.

          • Islander November 4, 2022 at 1:00 pm #

            Just voted.
            Basically straight Republican ticket.
            Never done that before.
            Of course it is merely a “gesture” here deep in the Blue Homelands.

            But it is all I can do *today.*

          • cbeard November 4, 2022 at 2:45 pm #

            For Islander, voting a straight Republican ticket will do nothing. The GOP has been less than useless throughout this whole ordeal. They have been encouraging masks, vaccines, etc. just as the democrats have been doing. Our government, be it the Dems or Reps, are not your friend. Also, they are as responsible for the stolen election as the demorats are. Left a c out of demorat, but it works.

          • Daddyotis November 4, 2022 at 5:23 pm #

            Cbeard:

            I don’t disagree with you. However, just because the Ds and the Rs are generally both despicable with regard to how quickly they folded and drank the Covid koolade, that does not mean that they are equally despicable. With your sage (and correct in my opinion) wisdom in mind, I will be joining Islander and voting straight R regardless of outcome. 🙂

          • Islander November 4, 2022 at 10:25 pm #

            Thanks, CBeard, for your “contribution.”

            I await your explanation of what I might have thought I was doing.

            I am all ears!!

          • Mike G November 5, 2022 at 9:42 am #

            What cbeard said, here in Blue ME, we have Covid Tyrant Janet Mills running for ME Queen for another 4 years. I have heard nothing from her opponents about her locking down this state and bankrupting small businesses, isolating families. Just all part of being part of the hoax as far as the GOP is concerned, more worthless bastards.

            What is the big issue in Maine apparently, reproductive rights of course otherwise known as killing off unwanted fetus’. Most of those screaming about the rights for abortion are dried up old crones who are decades past of even getting laid.

        • hortonz November 4, 2022 at 12:39 pm #

          This is a well-orchestrated war by the coastal elites in America and the Laurentian elite over here in Canada to impose a draconian one-party rule where the outcome is predictable, no matter who’s in charge. They’re nostalgic for the good old days when the Republicans and Conservatives were so desperate for “mainstream” aka left-of-center approval that they governed according to the consensus dictated by the “thinking classes” in media, academia and government. Now they’ve gone insane because they finally realize that the great, unwashed public is onto their hustle so they double-down on idiot gun control laws like the recent ones passed by Canada’s Woke Parliament and internet censorship laws that make them feel like their omnipotent.

        • abbybwood November 4, 2022 at 2:45 pm #

          Plus, if there is a “red wave” this Tuesday and the Republicans win the House and Senate, if they don’t hold serious hearings on the entire Covid crime, the next one will happen and the Democrats will pull out the same old playbook only this time on steroids.

          I am in California and I voted “No” on every proposition and for every Republican I could find. Besides the CDC mandating Covid jabs for all students in order to attend school, Newsom and the Democrats in Sacramento are also mandating these jabs.

          The American people MUST demand full transparency on all things Covid.

          When I voted, the Covid scandal was on my mind more than the price of gas, inflation, crime or the illegal invasion of our southern border.

          Oh! And guess who might replace Pelosi (hopefully as minority leader). Schiff!

          • Daddyotis November 4, 2022 at 5:25 pm #

            Yes! Schiff!! I saw this too. I was floored.

            Definitely not in Kansas anymore

        • chopper November 4, 2022 at 5:21 pm #

          There are people in this country that do not need permission from “authorities” to inflict swift justice on murders. It’s one thing to kill grandma but the grandchildren fall into a category that will get you a tight neck tie in front of a cheering crowd.

      • Anthea November 4, 2022 at 11:43 am #

        There were also store managers who harassed people about wearing masks, and there was the cashier who refused to check me out without a mask, and there were the doorkeepers who wouldn’t let you enter the store without a mask. These fuckers should get six-month prison sentences, as a lesson to them and to deter anyone from such actions in the future.

        • Anthea November 4, 2022 at 11:46 am #

          I’d even go so far as to say that all public advocates of these actions should do a 30-day prison sentence for “aiding and abetting.”

          The mayors of all the towns that decided to enforce business closings should all do about five years. I believe there is a law against depriving people of their rights “under color of law.”

          • abbybwood November 4, 2022 at 2:56 pm #

            Speaking of “the law” did anyone else notice the 1,000 page report Jim Jordan and Co. just dropped on the FBI?

            “Rotten to its core”.

        • Anthea November 4, 2022 at 11:47 am #

          Employers who enforced vaccinations should do ten years, along with all the managerial personnel who went along with this.

            the big schadenfreude is coming.

            the vaxxed are the walking dead.

            some/most will die of vaxx effects. the rest live in terror of the time bomb inside.

          • MD3 November 4, 2022 at 12:49 pm #

            Yes. I, along with hundreds of others, were threatened daily by the VP and HR department of my prior company that I wasn’t in compliance and that I had to get vaccinated. I never responded to the threats and ended up leaving for another company. The functionaries who carried out these crimes, across thousands of companies in this country, and all over the world, should be imprisoned, at a minimum, have their assets seized, and made to pay reparations to the people they threatened and persecuted. God help the poor people that gave into their threats.

            The snarky agitators who are paid to monitor posters and constantly regurgitate regime propaganda in the comments sections of every forum with condescending mockery also need to be hunted down and made to pay for their crimes.

          • abbybwood November 4, 2022 at 2:59 pm #

            And all the physicians and nurses who were stripped of their licenses to practice medicine should be re-instated with damages $$.

            I read the other day that even the esteemed Dr. Peter McCullough is losing his license for ordering Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine for his patients and for going against “the narrative”.

          • GreenAlba November 4, 2022 at 6:23 pm #

            “some/most will die of vaxx effects. the rest live in terror of the time bomb inside.”

            Sometimes it seems to me that certain people almost experience a certain schadenfreude from the prognosis of the vaxxed. I would hope, were I in the opposite situation to the one I’m in, that I wouldn’t think like that.

            I’m double vaxxed and I can assure you I don’t live in terror of the time bomb. People don’t stay terrified forever, even with something like that. There is still a battle to be fought, vaxxed or not.

            I might die tomorrow or I might die next year. I say a little thank you for each day, as it comes, but I fear the dystopia that will come for my kids far more than I worry about heart attacks or whatever.

            I’ll be here as long as I’m here, which, believe it or not, is exactly the same for you.

          • GreenAlba November 4, 2022 at 6:26 pm #

            Actually I just noticed that you even used the word schadenfreude. You must know people who were just too trusting – don’t you feel any sympathy at all for them?

          • kendar667 November 4, 2022 at 8:20 pm #

            Nobody really knows what will happen with the jabs long-term. Some say there is a killer virus, similar to Ebola, that is hiding out in the bloodstream of jab victims, encased in a fatty hydrogel, and it remains dormant until hit with the right frequency (some flavor of 5G,). Then the casing dissolves, the payload is set free and all the jabbed drop dead all over the world, all at once. Videos of this kind of abrupt death have been floating around – even Bannon’s show opens with a guy in Wuhan falling flat on his face as if hit by a lightning bolt. Another related story is that the huge herd of cattle that got decimated was actually a weapons test of this tech. The herd was injected with a similar hydrogel weapon as what is in the Covid shot, and then some time later was “activated”. Maybe this is all science fiction BS.

            What isn’t science fiction is Agenda 2030 and the stated goal of taking out 13 of 14 (93%) worldwide. This obviously goes way beyond the number of people jabbed so begs the question, how are TPTB going to hit the number? Is the jab contagious? Even if it isn’t contagious, the societal impact of a mass die-off around 50% cannot be overstated, basically complete chaos and collapse of civilization.

          • GreenAlba November 4, 2022 at 8:56 pm #

            kendar – You might be interested in this interview by Maria Zeee of Dr Ana Mihalcea on the nanotech in the vaxxes. In fact it’s way beyond nanotech.

            zeeemedia.com/interview/uncensored-dr-ana-the-science-explained-nanotech-in-injections-quantum-physics-detoxing/

            She says it doesn’t just respond to 5G but also to 4G. It’s real science fiction stuff – quantum physics – a Dr Nixon (see link below the video) has done 2 months of time-lapse photography on a drop of Pfizer vaxx and watched the structures grow, disappear and reappear etc. Way above my head (and that of most doctors, presumably).

            Fortunately there is a section on detox towards the end of the interview, with more details on her Substack page.

          • GreenAlba November 4, 2022 at 8:59 pm #

            I didn’t mean by that that I am a doctor, in case it was ambiguous! Just that most doctors would find it as much science fiction-like as it appears to a non-medic.

          • Rulo Deschamps November 4, 2022 at 10:54 pm #

            Green Alba: “Sometimes it seems to me that certain people almost experience a certain schadenfreude from the prognosis of the vaxxed.”

            I agree. It’s a tragedy. Everybody did the best they could with the information they had. Many succumbed to the fear. Errare Humanum Est and all that.

            In any case, the damage is done to all of us. Our DNA has been manipulated, and the descendants of vaxxers and refuseniks both will suffer the consequences.

          • kendar667 November 5, 2022 at 4:31 am #

            @GreenAlba great link, thanks!! The human body is an amazing creation and is very resilient, I doubt the pigrat monsters will be able to get everyone as they imagine. Really what needs to happen here is a mass awakening as to who the bad guys are and what they’ve been up to, something JHK is doing a tremendous job of. If the peeps can figure out the puzzle in time, we can still turn things around and save most via detox and new high-tech treatments.

          • GreenAlba November 5, 2022 at 11:09 am #

            Correction to my Maria Zeee post above – should be 2 days not 2 months!!

            If you look at the vaxx droplets for a few seconds/ or even minutes, you don’t see anything happening – watch them for a couple of days and speed it up and you see what’s going on. Looking forward to Redneck’s rebuttal of the actual time-lapse photography. Doubtless RL would take the word of a pharma company that was fined $2.3 billion for medical fraud a few years ago than that of a humble but curious GP from down under who has nothing to gain and everything to lose by going public.

            There are apparently now 26 teams internationally (I think that’s the number Dr M. said) working on the contents of the quacksines. Even Redneck won’t be able to trash them all forever to protect his delusions.

            “Everyone did the best they could with the information they had”. Oh fatuousness and fatuity! Isn’t it more true to say that the sheep listened, accepted, and obeyed? Seeking out more information? What for? Or at best changing the channel?

            Schadenfreude? Of course! Well sometimes in the case of real assholes. This is war, war against the Pure Bloods. They wanted us to die under bridges. One third wanted the other one third to die while another third just watched in silence and indifference.

            At the very least tried for manslaughter if anyone died, and attempted manslaughter if you only have injured employees.

            If you design and sell a defective and unsafe piece of industrial equipment and it injures or kills a worker you are on the hook.
            Even though your intent was to just do the job better.

      • Prospero November 4, 2022 at 2:07 pm #

        This “we were only followed orders” defence strategy worked for Lt. William Calley who was the only American soldier to be held legally responsible for the M? Lai massacre that was conducted under his command. Sentenced to life in prison, Calley ended up serving just three years under house arrest when President Richard Nixon reduced his sentence.

      Add me to that “WE” cohort, which should also read “We the targets of their malicious plot”, and/or “We the intended victims of their scheme to murder humanity in general”. I demand the same, along with some other demands to be listed upon request by the “public servants” who hope to get my assent to consideration of amnesty.

      JHK laid it out very clearly in this article. The people who desperately need amnesty don’t deserve any of our consideration for amnesty.

      That aside, I think their public trials for crimes against humanity can proceed while we consider whether or not to allow any of them to slide for any of their myriad crimes.

      Agree 100%, No criminal complaints have been filed, but there are civil suits gathering steam. Specifically, Truth for Health.org is now working with lawyers on lawsuits against hospitals who killed so many with their Remdesivir and ventilator combined treatments. The immunity granted the drug companies and anyone using their killer product will not escape a claim for damages based on fraud and an adulterated product, which brings in punitive damages. The hospitals and doctors were rewarded handsomely for each Covid death they reported, as non-covid deaths were rewarded with a much smaller payment. Just waiting for competent trial attorneys with guts to go after Pfizer, Moderna, and J & J, as well as medical associations and even medical journal publishers, all of whom benefited while millions died or were critically injured. The evidence is overwhelming of the fraud and self-dealing, so surely every trial firm cannot be so woke that they will pass up the chance to achieve justice for the dead and injured, while making fees beyond their comprehension.

      Everyone who was involved with the Covid crimes, Inc politicians, MSM, Doctors, so called celebrities, should be dragged before a Nuremberg 2 style court and thrown into prison.

      Emily Oster:

      “We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.”

      Translation: ”We pro-vaxxers need to be let off the hook for what we tried to inflict on those who could see past the BS and refused to be injected with Big Pharma poisons. IOW we are trying to steer you away from demanding rightful retribution by appealing to fluffy emotion”

      We, the so-called ‘anti-vaxxers”, the ‘Covidiots’, the ‘Granny-killers’ as you termed us, never did or said anything against the Pro-Vax Nazis as we were not allowed to voice our opinions under pain of social ostracization, cancellation and even arrest. So, to not put to fine a point on it Ms.Oster et al seeking a get out of jail free card… Go and Fcuk yourselves sideways. Some sins are just unforgiveable. We will not forgive, and we certainly will not forget what you did when you thought you held the whip hand. YOU ACTED LIKE NAZIS.

    IMO, asking for forgiveness is a travesty.

    • Hereward the Woke November 4, 2022 at 9:59 am #

      Forgiveness is never automatic. It comes at the end of along progress that starts with admittance of guilt, judgement, punishment and genuine atonement. Then, and only then, is forgiveness given. I will forgive people like Oster, Gates, Schwab, Fauci and Bourla after they have been hanged for crimes against humanity.

      • JohnAZ November 4, 2022 at 10:18 am #

        You forgot Biden and his corps of recruits that shoved the mask and vaxx requirements down our throats when they forgot all about the Bill of Rights. I did the risk assessment myself with the info available at the time and took the vaxx. After two more years of data, mostly covered up by the Biden team, never again.

        I hope that Oster’s article opens a Pandora’s box in DC and starts the tear down of the Swamp that Trump failed at.

        My dream, continuation of disclosures, House investigations, Trump re-election into a lame duck term and accelerated tearing down of the Deep State.

          “I might say a prayer for God to have mercy on their souls.”

          Why? They never had any mercy on us. Time to look up some vengeance verses for inspiration!

          Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. – Romans 12:19

          O Lord, God of vengeance,
          God of vengeance, shine forth! – Psalm 94:1

          For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” “The Lord will judge His people.” – Hebrews 10:30

            Yes, Christianity has gotten so candy ass that it has forgotten everything except forgiveness and praying for your enemies.

            It’s perfectly fine to pray against them too, as in David’s imprecations; to call down God’s judgement on the evil ones.

            You can’t forgive people who aren’t sorry. Not even God can do that. You can try and put them out of your mind so they don’t poison you inner world. How is that forgiveness? Yet the intellectual lazy have conflated these two.

          • Beryl of Oyl November 4, 2022 at 12:58 pm #

            If I wasn’t clear, the prayer would be after they were dead.

            It’s alright to pray to God to make them dead or to grant victory against them, Beryl.

        HtW,
        That is a bit harsh. Christian charity demands that one forgive others who trespass. I, myself, although not a Christian, and also damned as a serial blasphemer, am prepared to forgive Oster.

        …When the Jews forgive Hitler.

        • Islander November 4, 2022 at 1:17 pm #

          “When the Jews forgive Hitler.”

          This a.m. I was thinking, when the Holocaust turns out to be “just kidding, guys, really,” that’s when the Coronacaust will be forgiven.

          However, there is IMHO more than one circle of CoronaHell.

          HOnestly, I don’t expect the checkout lady or the doorman to have the mental wherewithal that I possess—to, say, see the huge red flags when the Blue Form (cause of death) was messed with; when the control group was disbanded; when Dr. Michael Osterholm started weaseling with his words re mask efficacy.

          These kinds of people truly were doing what they were told to do.

          It is the local public health people and mayors etc. who should have had the basic mental chops to take note of such huge red flags in the narrative.

          The speed with which suddenly all of signs,
          foot decals for stores and Post Offices, video messages rolling at the PO, etc. were printed and rolled out is one of the biggest red flags that this operation was run from Corona Central, at the federal, state, and local level.

          We need to know more about the means used to execute these crimes on the American public. The nitty-gritty. Like, when were orders sent out for all the propaganda products and who signed off on those orders?

          Re Gates, Fauci, Tedros, Bourla, and others were need to think RICO.

          In my crystal ball I see a lot of FOIA requests and a lot of refusals and inking out and stonewalling.

            You may not expect the chekout lady or the doorman to be smart enough to examine scientific material intelligently, but any idiot could see that there never was an epidemic. I never at any point noticed any illness beyond the ordinary, and I never personally knew anyone who died. In fact, 2020 and 2021 were remarkably mild flu seasons. You’d have to literally be a certified retard not to see that.

            I will (grudgingly) give a pass to people who worked in hospitals, since they were surrounded by the sick and subjected to especially heavy doses of propaganda. (One of my daughters was a respiratory therapist during the covid years. People were being given Remdesivir and being put on ventilators, and she sincerely believed that this was all they could do–and of course she was alarmed that so many were dying. Meanwhile, her hospital was referring to Ivermectin as “horse medicine.”)

      • C.O.Jones November 4, 2022 at 12:13 pm #

        Agree 100% with what Hereward the Woke said and would add that it is necessary, indeed VITAL for these criminals to be executed in the most public manner possible. They are not going to stop and are already planning round 2. The names Hereward mentioned and many others need to become anthema to the point where their own offspring disavow the family name just like I would if my last name was Hitler. NOPE – I’m changing that! But it needs to go further: every doctor, pharmacist, broadcaster, Hollywood personality, CEO, or manager who urged people to get this untested death shot need to be given a choice between life in prison with no hope of parole or being put on the wall and shot. “Take your pick, you have 10 seconds to decide.” These Satanists need to know and it must be demonstrated publicly that crimes against humanity are no longer tolerated, no matter how stupid 90% of the population is. Oh yes, let’s not forget to dissolve the companies – Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca, J&J that made these instruments of death and suffering and distribute their Billion$ in assets to those harmed the most – families of those who died from shots or lockdowns and business owners who suffered as a result of same.

        This was not an apology but a way of absolving herself and other covid fanatics of all responsibility for the consequences of harsh lockdowns, masking children, closing the schools and churches, people losing their jobs, giving untested vaccines to pregnant women (the UK no longer “recommends” these for pregnant women, nursing mothers or women who want to become pregnant), coercion to vaccine children as young as 6 months old, destroying any doctor who spoke out for cheaper, more effective treatments and gleefully reporting anytime a person died of covid who hadn’t been vaccinated.

        As Vanessa Beeley puts it, on a segment of the UK Column, the abusers are demading that their victims, the abused, forgive them.

        That is in effect carte blanche to do the same thing all over again

        It is a characteristic of the abusive cycle in abusive relationships.

        It is odd that our society, so overattuned to any hint of abuse, being triggered by upsetting words, etc. fails to notice the gigantic abuse elephant in the room, as the whole society has been abused but is enjoined to just return to normal, and perpetuate a state of denial as to what just happened. .

        And the abusees are exhorted not to notice it.

        Well, frankly, I am being massively TRIGGERED by this bitch Emily’s BS.

        Emily Oster must be called out as an unrepentant ABUSER who declares herself innocent so that she is free to abuse again.

        • Ricechex November 5, 2022 at 12:22 am #

          She is a total abuser and tyrant. I was repulsed by her essay. She even turned her 4 year old into a tyrant who was yelling at other kids to social distance. Obnoxious, entitled, and disrespectful kid. The apple does not fall far from the tree. What were they doing hiking anyway if they were so afraid? She is a total abuser. Rationalizing, blaming and minimizing. She is disgusting.

  3. Freddie November 4, 2022 at 9:03 am #

    This isn’t any plea for forgiveness at all. This Establishment mouthpiece is signalling what is going to happen. And the public can just suck it and STFU.
    Since when has the public interest been respected by the State? Since when? Since “Too Big To Fail”, since all the Woke bullshit, since the Ukraine war against Russia? Since when?

    • observex November 4, 2022 at 9:58 am #

      Freddie, you are sadly correct – Covid tyrants will be punished just about as much as those who started the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. We can only individually choose to not do with business with or otherwise associate with the Branch Covidians.

      I’ve turned away from some former friends. And sometimes it can be fun! Last month I saw a former acquaintance masked like a moron in the bowling alley, and when he came and stood among our group of three, I ignored him until he walked away.

      • JohnAZ November 4, 2022 at 10:21 am #

        Did you have the same feeling I do, that these “friends” are so dumb that you wonder how you befriended in the first place. They are State automatons, the valued “citizens” of Brave New World.

        • observex November 5, 2022 at 7:32 pm #

          Yes, it is startling and disappointing. With one friend of several years, we always talked about families and common interests and businesses, and I guess did not spend enough time together to get into politics.

          And then in 2020, he kept his kid at home and away from other people for a year, and put up the BLM sign on his business…. and in fact our last conversation was him wearing a mask in a parking lot and I said something about BLM he did not like and he literally walked away from me. We have ignored each other from even 10 feet away on any encounter since then.

          I have learned to suss out a person’s view of the world before I engage too much.

      • Mick November 4, 2022 at 10:27 am #

          I was wondering the same thing.

          I then decide I hope they get whatever they are afraid of because being that stupid is eventually terminal.

          It is rather jarring when no one is wearing masks and then one person is wandering around masked.

          • AmericanObserver November 4, 2022 at 12:12 pm #

            Whenever I encounter a masked individual, perhaps at a store, and that person starts talking (about anything, not the mask or COVID or illness) I rudely interrupt and say something like “I can’t understand what you’re saying with that stupid thing on your face”.

      Exactly. Jim’s entire thesis, which serves as the foundation for his belief system and published work, is that democracy is (was) real.

      That citizens possess(ed) agency, the right of self determination, and that people acting in good faith could reasonably discuss and debate important issues facing the body politic to reach an agreed solution.

      Now, where did he (and many others) get that idea; how was it implanted and to what purpose? Because if one were an objective observer during those formative years, it would have trivial to identify the intentions, programs, teaching methods and test results.

      The end product of course are programmed cult members – as intended – which can be easily persuaded and manipulated to follow a designed objective. I keep saying that the development of democracy was a genius move, orders of magnitude more effective than brute, top down rules and regulations.

      The only real side effects are those so heavily imbued with the mysticism of individual power that crushing disappointment destroys many people’s continuing will to live.

      • Woodchuck November 4, 2022 at 11:04 am #

        “The end product of course are programmed cult members – as intended – which can be easily persuaded and manipulated to follow a designed objective.”

        What you’ve written above is the primary objective of public education. When our fake democracy disintegrates after the soon to be death of the dollar, the school teachers that did this to us will all be unemployed. The resources to support the public school brainwashing systems will be gone, and education will return to the small local schoolhouse and to a living room in your neighborhood where some former teacher might barely be making a living teaching home schooled kids within walking distance. Parents will be closely watching what their kids are being taught next door. The cars and buses that once took children each day to the giant indoctrination centers will be parked. There will be no spare parts for them and no fuel.

        “Vengeance is mine” indeed says the lord. We can rest happy after punishment arrives and former academics and health officials everywhere will be doing field stoop labor and picking cotton by hand. Those are the only skills they’ll have left that anyone will pay money for.

            IMHO, the chief reason why virtually all the major cities in the US do not prosecute crime–just let it run rampant–is because they can’t AFFORD to. It costs too much money to put people in jail, and the criminal element in cities is too large. Cities would probably have to jail at least 10% of their populations to have any effect on crime.

            As it is, when your neighborhood meth dealer goes to jail, he’ll be back out in less than a year, and he’ll be back in your neighborhood dealing drugs, stealing from the neighbors and vandalizing their property.

            So even if cities put 10% of their populations in jail, it probably wouldn’t do much good.

            A few years ago, when President Marcos of the Philippines enacted some very harsh measures to rid the islands of drugs–including a kind of open season on drug addicts–many people were appalled. But I remember one commenter who pointed out that imprisoning criminals is a luxury that only very wealthy societies can afford. This is especially true where the criminal class is very large.

          Excellent point. In fact, the dollar is dying as we speak, despite the deceptive temporary rise against other basket case currencies (due to the need for USDs to unwind 700Tril of derivatives).

          Saudi and other oil producers no longer accept dollars for oil. (Hence the draining of the National Petro reserve).

          Over 60 countries have either applied to or joined BRIICS, making the SWIFT system (based on dollar dominance) a total joke.

          Germany is even rumored to have made a bid to joint BRIICS. (The joining of Germany and Russia is the neocon’s nightmare).

          One of many of brandon’s ‘accomplishments’ will be remembered as the destruction of the US dollar, along with the US as we know it.

        The United States empire was once something of a republic , that oppressed and stigmatized Black’s and Indians , which was all good because Black’s were penniless , and Indians , after the accidental holocausts of Smallpox and such , were a tiny minority.

        But then the ruling class got the bright idea to make everyone Black’s and Indians ,

        With the endorsement of these same people who never thought the whip would be applied to them.

        • mrs_saj November 4, 2022 at 12:47 pm #

          Hmuller,

          I understand your point. But where do you draw the line? Of course Fauci deserves a trial and a hanging. But how far down into the CDC and the FDA do you go before the criminals become trusting ordinary people? How far into the hospital administrations? What about the medical licensing boards, down to the doctors, down to the nurses, down to the fucking pharmacist who wouldn’t fill my valid prescription for ivermectin? There are examples everywhere of somebody high up being evil, but the shit they spew rolls downward and downward and gets on everyone else who won’t stand up.

          I give total amnesty, forgiveness, and my breaking heart to the kids with the stupid parents who had no choice, those in the military who were ordered by their commanding officers to get the “vacks”, and those who were losing their jobs. Beyond that, sorry, but retribution is here.

          • Anthea November 6, 2022 at 10:03 am #

            Quite early in the fake “pandemic” (probably late March or early April of 2020), I made many posts on Facebook that covid was a fraud. I supplied many links. I also posted on the local community page, which was infested with people screaming hysterically for business closings, masks, and all the other crap. I think I was the first in my area to raise objections. I was joined by others, but I also got PMs from people who agreed with me but were afraid to speak up.

            When they came out with the vaccines, I posted many, many warnings with many, many links. There is no excuse whatsoever for anyone who saw my Facebook page or for anyone who reads the local community page (which is just about everyone) to claim ignorance. If they were ignorant, it was willful.

            I even had one of my friends tell me that he had researched the vaccine and was satisfied that it was “safe and effective.” Apparently his “research” did not include any sources other than the MSM–or clicking on any of my links.

            So, if they didn’t know, it was because they didn’t want to know. Why did they not want to know? Beats me. I think a lot of it is that most people automatically take sides based on which side they perceive to be most powerful. It’s the most secure position, plus it gives them a surrogate sense of power over others.

        From the get-go, three things were obvious about the vaxx to any thinking person: it wasn’t a vax but a gene therapy, it hadn’t passed through all the tests, and it was being pushed by an insane creep called Fauci.

        • Amman November 4, 2022 at 10:19 am #

          I figured a plan from any government to vaccinate a whole planet belonged in science fiction books and had no place in sober Medical practice. But Surprise! surprise! Turns out the World is dumber than we thought.

            Wait one. We are reading an expose of how “astute” academia is and how really ignorant they are of the real world. Medical practice is a direct offshoot of academia so should we be suprised when they pull the same BS.

          • pranah November 4, 2022 at 10:39 am #

            You’re right, Amman. I didn’t take the vaxxx because I knew from the very beginning there was no possible way they could truthfully claim it was either safe or effective, since it came out too fast and they couldn’t have done all the testing. That was enough for me. And that it was an entirely new (mRNA) product that had never been used with humans before. I concluded this without studying at all.

            “Elimination of the domination of academia in our government is a first priority.”

            In my opinion, a horrific economic calamity and loss of access to fossil fuel energy will do wonders to completely destroy academia and our “health care system” which we also will NOT have the resources to support any longer. Go to any modern hospital and ask yourself how will any of this work without a functioning high tech supply chain system and cheap energy to heat and cool those places. Our current health care system consumes around 20% of our entire economy. It takes hundreds of thousands of dollars for the average person to die in a hospital. This system will NOT continue and its going down real hard!

            Where Fauci and Co go, Trump has to go too: he bowed to them, even boasting about how fast the Vax had been developed.

            In fact, the filth seems to have been developed years earlier. They just fucked around with a few dupes and rats to give it credibility in the eyes of the stupid.

          • Amman November 4, 2022 at 4:08 pm #

            Good Insight John. If academia is ‘effed, then the degrees they give out are probably just as ‘effed, not to mention the ancillary “arts” and “woke” departments.

        • JohnAZ November 4, 2022 at 10:32 am #

          Actually, what I think is going to be uncovered is that Fauci was there to protect the virus lab work that erred and released Covid in Wuhan. He was a global leader of centers, some in China and Ukraine. His job was protection of the research and F%$k the people.

          The real culprits of the vaxx were the mRNA folks in medical research trying to come up with a genetic cure for cancer. They came running to Trump et al, Pence and Fauci, Birx with a vaccine “cure” for Covid. The administration was in a panic with what to do with the 2020 election approaching. The rest is history. Trump was following orders instead of giving them.

          The real black eye belongs on the government buying the bullshit the medical researchers fed them. The government that was just waiting to let no crisis pass without a power grab.

          • Mick November 4, 2022 at 10:36 am #

            John Campbell MD of Britain just went over a newly released report showing that COVID most likely came from a lab, not from the “wet market”. And, it was the US Senate report he was going over. I’d post a link, but I’m apparently not allowed to do that here.

            For those interested find Campbell’s YT channel, and then the vid titled “US Senate, lab origin most likely”. In his show notes is the link to the actual report.

            “Actually, what I think is going to be uncovered is that Fauci was there to protect the virus lab work that erred and released Covid in Wuhan. ”

            I disagree. No virus was released, only the idea of a virus was released. Covid was produced only by the the fevered imaginations of morally retarded criminals like Fauci.

            That whole fraud about “covid” being created in a lab was nothing more than another fable meant to reinforce the idea that “covid” actually exists.

            No traditional vaccine could be produced because no specimen of the imaginary virus is available anywhere. The mRNA bioweapon was the plan all along, and “covid” was the fable that made it possible to fool people into allowing themselves to be poisoned

          • Paula D November 4, 2022 at 12:13 pm #

            MIck I watched that and I found the comments very interesting.

            Many, many people testifying that they had what was probably the bioweapon covid in 2019, before it was identified in Wuhan.

            I know people like that also. Their flu swabs came back negative, but they were sicker than they had ever been.

            Damn straight that virus escaped/was released before Dec. 2019.

            People need to focus on shutting down the gain-of-function bioweapons labs before they focus on punishing the people who used the disease to destroy society.
            Because they are still open and they are still releasing “variants”.

            I quote the Russian MoD on that subject:

            “According to our experts, this is reflected in the variability uncharacteristic of most coronaviruses, resulting in different peaks in incidence, significant differences in lethality and infectivity, uneven geographic spread, and the unpredictability of the epidemic process overall. Despite efforts to contain and isolate cases, the pandemic appears to be being artificially fueled by the exposure of new variants of the virus to this or that region.”

          • Jarek November 4, 2022 at 1:34 pm #

            Yes as Ed says, it’s not gene warfare but meme warfare. The “idea” of a virus, a feint, a jab in boxing, the required jump in checkers – all to set people up for the killer blow, the Vax itself.

            The Vax wasn’t for Covid. Covid was for the Vax.

          • Paula D November 4, 2022 at 2:14 pm #

            The biggest meme trick of all was convincing many people that the virus doesn’t exist.

            That way they will ignore the hundreds of gain-of-function bioweapons research labs while they blather on and on about Koch’s postulates and other diversionary narratives.

            Nice work, propaganda meisters!

          • abbybwood November 4, 2022 at 3:35 pm #

            And another black eye for Trump was when he ignored all the doctors and scientists who signed The Great Barrington Declaration. Then he ignored Dr. Scott Atlas.

            THEN he got Covid in October 2020 and went to Walter Reed where his team of doctors threw the pharmacological “kitchen sink” at him (including Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, high dose Vitamin C IV etc.) then after discharge he said he wanted the American people to have access to ALL the treatments he received! I saw him say this on video!

            But he completely caved on that promise.

            He should come clean on all this at a presser with all his doctors, Scott Atlas and the leaders of Great Barrington in tow.

          The early timeline of COVID is revealing. A massive Media blitz and rollout in, I dunno, under 6 months? 9 months? Just by that you know that they don’t know what’s going to happen to people after one year. The problem is we were able to say No and retain our livelihood but many people who shared our qualms simply could not make the right decision. They had responsibilities, a clear lack of options, and they settled with “I’m not going to deal with this” because it was too scary to go all the way. I’m no hero (like that French General said) but these corporate medicine folks people obviously see people as so much useless bacteria.

          By April, May of 2020 the statistics were already showing this virus was a danger to the elderly and ill. A very small danger to young/middle aged adults and almost zero to teens and children. Remember Trump wanted to open up on June 1st and how nuts the media went? Nonstop Fauci interviews.

        • Anthea November 4, 2022 at 12:13 pm #

          @ Beryl of Oyl:

          Same here, by about the end of March of 2020. The hysteria started, I think, in early March. Weirdly, nobody seemed to even have covid, let alone be dying from it. It was a highly unusual flu season; no one was sick. But we still had close businesses, libraries, schools, and churches and force everyone to wear masks and forbid people to gather for holidays–or for any reason whatsoever.

          Then there were the cities where people were locked in their homes. People were arrested for walking alone on the beach.

          Which reminds me: The cops who enforced this shit should all do about five years in prison and lose their jobs and pensions.

        • Paula D November 4, 2022 at 2:21 pm #

          Remember when people partied at the Lake of the Ozarks and the media and the Fauci gang screamed about how there was going to be a major outbreak and they were all going to DIE!!!

          We knew by then that the virus was killed by sunlight and that being outside was risk free. (Just like we know now that the GMO injectable doesn’t work. But the propaganda machine marches on, undeterred by the facts.)

          And then there was no outbreak and no one died but the media didn’t cover it so it didn’t happen.

            That first year, 2020, the virus died out during the summer, like every other respiratory virus EVER.

            They weren’t gaslighting us about that particular bit of widespread knowledge in 2020.

            But by 2021 they rolled out Delta (another bioweapon) in the middle of summer and the fact that respiratory viruses don’t spread in the summer was dropped right down the Memory Hole.

            It turns out that they can roll out new bioweapons whenever needed and all previous knowledge of cold and flu season and epidemiological spread can be ignored.

            Just announce that India, practically untouched by covid in 2020, suddenly developed a “new variant” that was wiping them out and then announce that it has “been discovered” all over the USA the next week.
            How did that happen? No one asked.

            So they did it again with Omicron. New variant? Check.
            Spontaneous generation of a completely different genome? Check.
            Shows up in South Africa and spreads all over the USA the next week? Check.

            Jesus, people. This is not a natural phenomenon.

          • tully November 5, 2022 at 6:10 am #

            Paula D, in summer of 2021 I wondered plenty how Delta showed up in the middle of flyover country and spread like wildfire. In late May, the Delta variant was detected in the waste water of either Stone or Taney county; I forget. Both are Branson/Silver Dollar City tourist area. One explanation is a visitor brought the virus into the area; perhaps a family all coming down with it.

            Purely coincidence the starting point was a popular vacation spot with conservative Christians in a very red area. Southern MO was red when the rest of the state was blue. Also an area of very, very low vax uptake at that time. All that summer and ever since, I have wondered if the variant was intentionally released. I’ve also wondered if the virus might have been taken to China during the military games in Wuhan fall of 2019 prior to the official outbreak there.

            Can’t say we’ll ever know for sure. But scientists in bio weapons facilities are not there because there are curious folks with a love of learning. GOF viruses and vaccines/antidotes for their creations appear to be their primary purpose.

            Not doing too well on vaccines, unless prevention is not their goal. Covid vaxxes sure have failed at that. Granted, I did get the J&J, and have not had the crap. But I suspect that is due to dumb luck. And maybe the D/zinc/C/quercetin I continued taking, plus 2x weekly IVM during local outbreaks.

          • Paula D November 5, 2022 at 9:54 am #

            Thanks, Tully, for renewing my faith in the ability of some people to think.

            Yes, the “Delta variant” did spread in the red states, as you noted, in the summer.

            How were the resistant southern states hit so badly in the middle of summer? As you say, maybe the question is actually “why?” and the answer is “resistance”. The ”how” is something we don’t know, but it most likely involves some sort of dispersal mechanism developed by the same people working on the bioweapons.

            Oh, and it spread to the kids for the first time. In the summer when school was out. Why? That was when the adult population had mostly been forced into compliance and they were working on talking people into injecting their kids.

    • SW November 4, 2022 at 10:30 am #

      @Bilejones — and she, of course, was wrong for the right reasons — those reasons being she’s smarter (and has official pieces of paper from Harvard! to prove it) but primarily the great unwashed Trumpenlumpen were resistant to following smart people like her so they deserved the contempt she and her fellow-smart-people heaped on them.

    • Greg November 4, 2022 at 4:22 pm #

      Yes, and the corollary is that they “we’re wrong for the right reasons.” In reviewing the success or failure of a program, it is wise to review the process to see if success was merely the result of good luck unlikely to be repeated, or if failure came from exceptional bad luck. (A good process takes into account a reasonable degree of bad luck, and positions one to take advantage of any good luck.)

      So, did Prof.Oster and her ilk follow a sound process? No. There wasn’t any due diligence, no application of the precautionary principle, nor any honest look at the ongoing results. Even if we were to discount malice and fraud, we still have unconscionable negligence. Moreover, it was clear early on that the death rate from COVID did not justify the roll out of an experimental procedure with no prior indication of its safety or efficacy. (Add in the malice and fraud that actually occurred, and the actual situation is far worse.)

      For many in academia, it seemed there was much to be gained from going along with the narrative– as long as any bad outcomes were not so numerous and awful that they couldn’t be explained away, preferably by someone else with impressive-sounding credentials.

      Bad gamble.

    Incidentally, a big salute to Elon Musk for firing half the Twitter staff. Those Commissars of woke censorship can take their diversity studies degrees and post them on Mom’s basement wall – their new home.

    Don’t stop, Elon, until they’re all gone! Then hire proud boys in MAGA hats to determine what’s “misinformation” and needs to be stamped out.

    Haha, just kidding. Our side believes in open and vigorous debate to separate truth from bullshit. And that’s precisely what the opposition intellectual cream puffs know and fear.

    • stelmosfire November 4, 2022 at 10:16 am #

      MSM talking heads lambasting Elon’s house cleaning. Donchya’ know these people have families, mortgages, bills to pay. They’re deadwood that produce nothing of value as far as I’m concerned. Never heard a peep when Potatohead canceled Keystone on his first day. Thousands lost jobs and these are workers. Real workers that actually know how to do and make things.

        The social media gave a platform for the creation of millions of bullshit jobs that Biden is hiding behind right now. What scares the bejesus out of them is that when the dollars become scarce, ie the interest rates climb, the real need for workers in this poor economy country will become evident. Musk is showing this right now. The MSM is going to collapse when his streamlined media site starts to work. Face book has already started down. If Musk discontinued algorithmic censorship, social media will die or do the same. The service economy is going to decrease to its real needs. With no government supports, the media is going to decline drastically.

    Yesterday I read an article about renowned Dr. Peter McCullough that those who opposed his views on Ivermectin and HCQ are in the final stages of stripping him of all his medical licenses.

    So it ain’t over folks, not by a long shot. The are also going after Dr Pierre Kory who has also had equal success treating Covid without the bullshit vaccines Tony “asshole” Fauci has been pushing on the world.

    • mrs_saj November 4, 2022 at 10:14 am #

      I read that too. Dr. McCullough needs public support. These medical boards are a huge part of the problem. Doctors are operating out of fear. The medical boards need to be called to account for their behavior and punished accordingly.

      • SW November 4, 2022 at 10:35 am #

            The information about these potentially dangerous viruses will be hidden no matter what the consequences are to all of us. This is the news about investigating biolabs in Ukraine that even Victoria Nuland acknowledged were there:

            “The UN Security Council has rejected Russia’s call for an international investigation into claims that the US used laboratories in Ukraine to develop biological weapons. Russia insists that the US and Ukraine have been violating the 1972 international convention that bans the development, production, and stockpiling of biological weapons. According to Moscow, several laboratories in Ukraine were working on a secret “military-biological” program, which involved studies and the stockpiling of samples of anthrax, cholera, and other infectious diseases.”

        Quite frankly, I believe our entire health care system will implode and fail completely after we are collectively simply too broke to support it. We will not have the future financial resources to be able to afford everyone spending up to $300 thousand dollars just to die. Medicine will go back to the very same place it was in the 50’s when I was a little boy. A local doctor’s office within walking distance is where I went for my childhood injuries and problems. And my mom paid the doctor in full with a check right there after services rendered. We didn’t clutter up hospitals constantly with every little problem. You went to a hospital after a bad wreck or industrial accident. And if you were old and sick, you died at home – not all doped up in a hospital will tubes attached to every limb and orifice.

        Our health care system is a bloated parasite and a predator.

        • Mick November 4, 2022 at 11:59 am #

          Exactly! I was a child 2 decades after you, but I had the same experience. My Mom took me to my pediatrician and the bill was paid on the day of service, and it wasn’t shockingly expensive.

          Even when I broke my arm in the 2nd grade I don’t think it cost my Dad more than 200 bucks. Today it……well I don’t know today. I do know that 15 years ago a kid’s broken arm that I knew cost 15K. Copay was certainly higher than 200 bucks.

          Pathetic. This whole healthcare system crashing will be a silver lining to an otherwise dark period. IMO.

        • Anthea November 4, 2022 at 12:26 pm #

          It was the same way when I was growing up in the 50s. The town doctor’s office was three blocks from our house. The town doctor lived in a nice but modest house about two blocks from his office–and not in McMansion in an expensive suburb. Everyone paid out-of-pocket for a doctor visit, and it was cheap enough that virtually everyone could afford to pay out-of-pocket. Prescriptions were cheap, as well.

          The health-care coverage provided by employers was for catastrophic coverage only.

          • Mick November 4, 2022 at 12:52 pm #

            Imagine that…..health insurance for catastrophic events only.

            Why….why….that sounds like the very definition of ‘insurance’!

            The avalanche of shit started with the advent of HMOs in the 70s. I know that Nixon meant well. He thought it would stave off the coming full court press for Guvmint Care that he felt was coming. But it got the ball rolling in turning health insurance into “Care Plans”.

            I’ve tried several times to explain to people what real insurance is, to no avail usually. I use the auto insurance comparison. Such as “Does your auto insurance cover your oil changes and flats? No? That’s because its insurance for catastrophes. Not auto care.”

            I called the pediatric group in Santa Monica and one of the doctors answered the phone. He told me everybody had left but to bring my son in.

            He put four stitches in his toe and when I asked him about the bill he said, “Forget about it!”

            When I asked my son how he dropped a manhole cover on his toe he said, “Easy!”

  14. mrs_saj November 4, 2022 at 9:49 am #

    I am off topic this morning, but we have discussed potential ramifications in the insurance industry on CFN and this warrants a look. A commenter on Zero Hedge mentioned this last night and I did some research. Lincoln National Corporation (ticker LNC) reported earnings and had their conference call yesterday. The stock opened way down yesterday and lost $17.27 on what is now a $34.83 stock. That is an absolutely horrendous day.

    I have no financial training; I have just listened to a lot of conference calls. For this one I read the transcript which was posted on SeekingAlpha. Here is what I gleaned:

    -The company has 4 or 5 divisions and all were up on revenue (quarter over year ago quarter) including the Life Insurance business/division. One of the divisions was up 18% q over q.

    -The company as a whole experienced a net lost of $2.1B. $2.2B of the loss is from the Life Insurance businesss. So the other divisions were contributing modestly or negligibly to net income. The life insurance business has fallen off a cliff in Q3.

    -Management is throwing everything they’ve got at the problem. All options are on the table including reallocating across their divisions (exiting life insurance?), exploring other reinsurance options, issuing hybrid securities (bonds) or preferred shares to raise capital. They were asked during the Q&A if the dividend was safe and they said it was. I’m not sure I believe them.

    -There was a $2.3B charge from the Life Insurance business and $1.8B of it was from mortality and morbidity varying from the expected as well as customer lapse behavior. So this is not just people dying too fast and the rate of claims going up. This is customers acting in unexpected ways that differs from historical norms. This is called customer persistency. Customers will typically surrender their policies (with a cash balance) and get a payout or let their policies lapse (with no cash balance) and just quit paying premiums at certain historical rates. Either way, the policy is terminated and the premiums for that policy end. People aren’t doing this the way they used to. They are hanging onto their policies and paying the premiums at much higher rates. So the insurance company is scrambling to ensure they have funds to pay the claims on these extra policies when the time comes. I thought this was interesting. People are perceiving a need to keep their life insurance policies in abnormally high numbers

    -Their RBC ratio, which is very important and statutorily regulated in insurance (capital on hand/capital required for company’s size and risk profile) has fallen off a cliff and must be replenished asap. The Life Insurance business is the source of 3/4 of the RBC ratio decline.

    -Part of the huge charge from the Life Insurance business are updates in the tables the company uses for morbidity and mortality. This I think means that people are dying too fast. There was quite a bit of dialogue about how to gain experience to update these tables.

    -Two ratings agencies (S&P and Moody’s) have downgraded the company. One was a downgrade from AA to A and the other was an affirmation of the credit rating but a downgrade of outlook from stable to negative.

    There weren’t a ton of questions from the analysts on the call. The first was how long until the company could replenish their RBC ratio (answer: we don’t know) and the third was is the dividend safe (answer: yes it is). I will be curious to see the results of other insurance companies to learn whether this turns the industry upside down or moderates over time. Thanks for reading, I know this stuff is as dry as toast!

      Not dry info at all. In fact it’s WOW!

      I think the insurance industry will pretty much be toast in 2023. The die offs are increasing and we haven’t reached the peak yet.

      I’ve interested to see what ‘duh people’ will do once they figure it out…..”Hey! The shots are killing us!” Quite a few have already figured it out. It just hasn’t gone viral yet. (Pun intended).

      Lordy, insurance co.’s are a major repository of asset value- buildings, capital investments- since they have to reinvest 98% of the money they receive.

      An insurance company crash is the same as a banking crash.

      thanks for that mrs_saj

      Edward Dowd has done some investigation on the life insurance stats, as well as the funeral business.

      he’s many places online.

      i have not seen anyone report on what happens if the life insurance sector goes belly-up.

      nor any reports on how the economy will be impacted by mass death. boccaccio is a place to start. but dated.

      • mrs_saj November 4, 2022 at 12:58 pm #

        Thanks for the lead on the funeral home business. The stuff I have read and looked at about embalming corpses today is wildly disgusting. What they are finding in people’s veins when they do the embalming is other-worldly. Professionals in the business for 30 years have never seen anything like it. This stuff is never covered by the “media”.

        I am copying JFK’s penchant for referring to Joe Biden with quotes and doing the same with the “media”. The media is dead, a walking zombie with remnants of electrical impulses that enable it to lurch around as if it were still alive.

      This is from a comment on ticker forum, excerpted from an article at money dot com:

      “According to the most recent report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an estimated 31,720 people died in car crashes during the first nine months of 2021.

      “That figure represents a 12% increase over the same period in 2020 which also saw an abnormally high number of road fatalities, despite the lower levels of traffic due to America’s widespread shift to lockdown and remote work.

      “The 12% increase in road fatalities is the largest year-over-year rise ever recorded by the agency, and the projection of nearly 32,000 deaths on U.S. roads is the highest for any January-September period since 2006.

      “For the sake of comparison, in the first nine months of 2011 there were just under 24,000 traffic fatalities. In 2019, there were fewer than 27,000 deaths.”

      I can’t post a link, but it’s under the heading, “Not Dangerous Once–Doubly So,” on page 4 of the comments, after some discussion about people seeing a lot of reckless driving–wondering if it’s from neurological damage from the vaccines.

        So the car insurance stats reinforce the life insurance statistics.

        So, when do the health insurance (doctor visits, hospitalization) stats get correlated?

          It isn’t the worst that she and all of them were *wrong* but that they left no room for debate, for dissent, for widespread difference of position. And instead they took the law into their hands, and beat down the rest of us.

            The entire short op-ed is dismissive of the damage done by people who claimed to have correct information and didn’t. These covid semi-apologists forget the level of contempt that was daily directed at people who questioned the company line and how vicious the attack was on the unvaccinated.

            Not a word about the doctors and nurses who were fired, the Canadian truckers who were demonized, soldiers in the military who were thrown out, and that’s the short list.

            I think the article was to test the waters of public opinion. The undertone was one of arrogance — “Well, I admitted I got some things wrong! What else do you want?!”

    Bolsonaro that, you denialist haters!

    When they’re rounding up and hunting down the purebloods for clean organ harvesting, I’m going to think back to this time from my hiding place and marvel that I got to witness such a show.

      Alzaebo,

      I have been on the organ donor list since I was 16; I’m 52 now. I’ve checked with my state and the only time you can update your organ donor election is when you renew your license. My renewal is 2025. So I can’t go in with my passport and say I’ve lost my drivers license and get a new one with a new organ donation election. They’ll only reprint my existing drivers license. I am changing my organ donor election in 2025. Yes, I’m that pissed about the unvaccinated being thrown off organ waiting lists. I will also never donate blood again unless it is going to me, a family member, or a vaccinated person and I have the second most versatile universal donor blood type (good for 93% of the population.

      The Oster piece is Exhibit A in why I am so pissed. These people don’t get it yet.

      • Alzaebo November 4, 2022 at 10:47 am #

        Holy smokes- me too to 2025, organ donation, and blood type. I hadn’t even thought about organ donation, or about changing it.

        Thanks again (the first thanks, for the insurance information above)!

        Kunstler’s poetic mastery of detail draws out a fountain of useful info.

        • Not_GeorgeT November 6, 2022 at 6:13 am #

          The blood supply is contaminated. There has been no separation of donated blood based on vaxxed status. The take-away is if you chose to stay away from the jab, having
          a blood transfusion likely gives you the jab result from the contaminated blood supply.

          The LNP (Lipid NanoParticles) are replicating in the blood of the vaxxed.

          Suggest reading Karen Kingston’s work regarding LNP.

      • Anthea November 4, 2022 at 1:02 pm #

        My view of the medical establishment, for approximately the last 40 years, is that they are ghouls, and I have never agreed to be an organ donor or to give them a drop of blood.

        One of my daughters used to donate blood at every opportunity, until once when she was donating plasma, they nearly killed her. Neither she nor I know what went wrong, but she had to call for help from the nurse (or whatever) when she realized that something had gone badly wrong and she thought she was dying. To my knowledge, she has not donated blood or plasma since. I don’t know how you fuck something like that up, but clearly it can be done.

        As we all know–or should know by now–these people are all grossly incompetent. What many of us didn’t know is that they’re ghouls.

        • Jarek November 4, 2022 at 1:55 pm #

          She was selling her plasma? That’s banned in many countries because of the dangers. One would hope that actual donation would be more closely supervised. It’s far more serious than mere donation of blood.

          • Anthea November 6, 2022 at 8:00 am #

            She was donating plasma, not selling it. (She a bit of a do-gooder.)

            I did a bit of googling to find out about plasma donation being banned in other countries, and what the dangers are. Came up mostly empty. About all that a search turns up is articles promoting plasma donation.

      • Jarek November 4, 2022 at 1:53 pm #

The lockdown of the camp operators had a devastating effect on their businesses. Draw your own conclusions. The political class in Canada vicious.

      Sorry to hear about your friend, Prospector.

      I can’t imagine the economies (or lack of) around all the little towns around Lac Seul, for example, like Ear Falls whose life blood are fishermen, campers, etc.

      It has got to be just desperate.

    • PeteAtomic November 4, 2022 at 7:16 pm #

      I also wanted to write Prospector that we here in Minnesota benefited from the Canadian lockdown because people from the States who normally would have vacationed in NW ONT ended up doing that here.

      So., I grew up working in part in family-owned resorts. It’s a tough living. You might be able to might make it thru one tight season, but if successive summers have scant tourists, then you’re done. Most resort owners aren’t corporate. They are family owned. The family I worked for actually had retired from the corporate world to run a resort. So. I get it.

      61 year old friend of mine died of a stroke. Pain in his side, he passed out. Came around, rushed to hospital…died that evening, in a coma. Guy not sick a day in his life, in good health. Okay.

  20. MaryQueen November 4, 2022 at 10:07 am #

    That last line: BOOM!

    Another excellent essay today, James, thank you.

    Spot on 100% and well done. These people now pretending to care about their little ‘oopsy’ – well they can take a flying leap. I suppose part of their karmic comeuppance is that so many of them are sick or dying from the quacksine. Still, most of them are still trying to bully the unvaccinated (AKA smart) people in one way or another.

    “We were only following orders” – indeed. The same people who pound their chests and cry “never again!” about the Holocaust sure look like the same sort of people who allowed it to happen, even pushed it along, turned in their neighbors, and pretended not to see the death camps.

    I do not forgive the Woke Jacobins. Maybe I would, if they weren’t still at it.

    Democrats, the Left promote democracy. Their thesis as the election nears.

    Hogwash!

    Democracy exists when the people are allowed to speak to and criticize their government. FF Amendment one, the heart of our liberty, the Bill of Rights.

    This media, both main stream and social is a frikking joke, we are equivalent to Russia’s Pravda in the last century. I am still amazed that except for a contigent at Fox news, this entire country”s press is not just Leftist, they are socialist, communist, woke, whatever you want to call it.

    I think that the takeover of the media by the Left is the number one failure of the American dream.

    It is not only Trump either, the next in lines in the GOP are already under attack by the media Communists.

    The media should represent the people, us. Half of this country is old schooled, Constitutional folks that salute the flag and what is stands for. The media however is almost one hundred percent anti democracy, anti Constitution, anti American. They represent the Leftist Elite period. They should be the first in lining up against the wall. If it wasn’t for them, this abortion of a government, pun intended, would never have been elected.

    In the top five is the Arizona Republic which should be renamed The Arizona SSR.

    • DyersEve November 4, 2022 at 10:30 am #

      I remember when the Arizona Republic was quite conservative/moderate up through the mid-90’s. This is what happens when Sherman Act and Anti-Trust law are ignored by Congress and big corps keep getting to buy up the little guys. Group think, high prices, lower quality, few alternatives. Republicans and Democrats have been equally derelict in their responsibilities and are whores for corps.

      • Woodchuck November 4, 2022 at 11:44 am #

    OMG I was just saying some of those exact reasons why Emily should not be allowed to get away with her lies, to some people.

    If she didn’t know, which is a lie, it is only because she did not want people like me to know better than she.

    The Atlantic, the same magazine she wrote that in, personally attackked Alex Berenson over his writings about these things.

    Had she looked at the work her colleagues were ridiculing Alex over, she would have had to recognize the pains he took to get it right.

    No two ways about it.

It was criminal and malicious. These people are responsible for millions of deaths and injuries, which they KNOWINGLY caused.

    What Oster is doing vis-a-vis Laureen Powell Jobs’ (read:extreme leftist elite) propaganda mouthpiece is introducing the gaslighting.

    She is setting the foundation. First, it’s the “fog of pandemic” and right on cue, “lockdowns didn’t happen” forced vaccinations “never happened”, schools were never closed, students were never expelled, teachers were never fired, soldiers were never discharged.

    That is all right-wing Trumpian (despite Trump being pro-vax) lies and disinformation.

        Know what happened Mick? The FBI and/or other federal law enforcement/intelligence entities with the assistance of embedded agitators, plants, and entrapment actors, steered an unorganized group of protestors into the U.S. Capitol.

        These herded schlubs schlepped about the conveniently open, unlocked, and un-barricaded offices putting feet on desks and laptops. Regrettably, one unarmed veteran was shot and killed by a conveniently black un-uniformed law enforcement officer… through a closed door (means, opportunity, intent swept under the rug).

        Yet the goal was never to entrap the extreme pro-Trump elements. Although their banishment to DC gulags would send a message.

        The primary goal was to assign blame for their actions on Trump in accordance with their stated goal of keeping Trump out of the presidency “no matter what”.

        And thanks to dependable low-info Micks out there, they’re almost getting away with it.

          Unlike the story they put out about the cop being beaten to death with a fire extinguisher, (that they are still pushing, it turns out! even after it was debunked) there was a woman beaten to death by the cops.

          I don’t know her name. The story they put out was that she was trampled to death by the crowd, but that was always unlikely. Jan. 6th was no South Korean Halloween. There was no critical mass pushing people up against the wall or each other.

          I saw video of the cops beating her, one time, and then it went down the Memory Hole.

          Why?

          • Beryl of Oyl November 4, 2022 at 1:41 pm #

            I saw a video of Alex Jones there at the capitol on Jan. 6th. He was on the bullhorn urging everyone to not engage the po-po with violence. He was very emphatic. And, he even tried to get people to follow him to the other side of the building where there was a set up for Trump to show up. Of course Trump wasn’t allowed to show up.

            Anyway, the video clearly proves that Jones was NOT egging on the “insurrection”, which is what he was accused of and still is.

I guess they’re getting a jump on the competition and trying to move inventory.

    • Anthea November 4, 2022 at 1:34 pm #

      The Fed raising rates actually has me feeling a little more optimistic about 2023. It suggests that they are doing at least a little something to tame inflation. It’s hard to see how this, even with proposed future hikes, could do the job. Paul Volker had to jack the Fed’s benchmark interest rate all the way up to 20% to tame inflation, back in 1980–when the situation was far less severe in terms of debt.

      While Milton Friedman said that “inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon,” it seems to me that there are factors in play, in our present case, in which we’d still have inflation, even if the monetary side of the problem were fixed.

      Okay, let’s say the bad debt is purged from the system. Even so, if you stifle energy production and hence productivity, prices must still go up for the end consumer. You still have too many dollars pursuing too few goods. And if energy is scarce, it will be costly–and THAT is NOT a monetary phenomenon.

        Those who don’t think there is a depopulation agenda- there was a suggestion going around the internet near the Superbowl, that many men found that weekend of planned idleness a good time to schedule a vasectomy.

        Then there was the claim going around that due to the SC decision on Roe v. Wade, many young men were getting themselves fixed.

        You hear the saim thing from two supposedly different sources, it’s a sign you are being brainwashed.

      Old saying: ‘Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity.’ The German blogger ‘Eugyppius’ said a year or two ago how some/much of this was caused by mass formation sending bureaucrats and politicians mad. A.k.a. mass hysteria.

      The H1N1/WHO/Pandremix scandal in 2009 was a deliberate conspiracy to hype the virus and profit from a vaccine. It was uncovered. So in 2019/20 they covered their tracks and got into bed with the Deep State to use the finest military-grade psy-ops. to brainwash people. The UK seems to have begun the transition of this to civilian use with the 10 Downing Street ‘Behavioural Insights Team’, now a private company I think.

      Greed, not malice, affects many people. Got to meet next year’s financial target … screw the poor patients who get Thalidomide, Vioxx, Prozac or now BioNTech. Read Dr. Peter Gotszche’s 2013 book on the pharma industry, ‘Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime’. It set out there how the mob, sorry ‘industry’ operates and he wrote it a decade ago. (He’s still alive too.)

      So, separating the greed and the malice is difficult. Drs. Yeadon, Chetty and Zelenko said publicly early on that it was malice, Malone later agreed but seems to have reversed his position.

        Fear does a great job of making people stupid.

      • Anthea November 4, 2022 at 2:17 pm #

        Professionals in the medical and pharmaceutal fields have a responsibility to know what they’re doing and to make decisions rationally and objectively, without being swayed emotions.

        E.g., I have seen people make stupid, careless, and even ruinoius decisions in the handling of other people’s money–while their bookkeeper continually issued ominous warnings. People with a fiduciary responsibility. No, they didn’t do these things for personal gain. It was mainly out of laziness, indifference, and a go-along-to-get-along attitude. I don’t know what the law has to say about that, but I suspect that the breach of basic fiduciary responsibility would be enough to put them in jail if it were known. And these people weren’t cheerleading for bad decisions, or punishing their associates for trying to wake them up to reality. They also weren’t advocating for killing and maiming people or depriving them of their rights. They were just fucking around not doing their jobs.

        Now, if you have a responsibility and you can go to jail for just fucking around not doing your job, it seems to me like there is a far greater responsibility to not go around committing mass murder.

      • Jarek November 4, 2022 at 2:21 pm #

        Greed is a very effective cover for the real reason to do this: To lower the world’s population.

        The people at the tippy top create money out of thin air. They didn’t need this to make more money. They let their underlings to do so to hide their real motives.

    And like abused children, the kids will run into the arms of the presently sober guardian.

    From the Democrats to the Republicans. Americans played again.

    Their hopefulness springs eternal. Just look at the way they embrace the contemporary P.T. Barnum, Elon Musk.

    Has the world ever witnessed such a grifter? Undoubtedly not one so well remunerated.

    He has the handheld outrage addicts onboard. The sanctimony and insult algorithms will be freed! So he has them believing. Just as he has them believing in tunnels of traffic under LA, electric cars and solars roofs powering the world, not enough people on Earth, and a future for humanity on Mars.

    What can’t he make the desperate believe? Let’s see what the unmovable Twitter truth council tells him. No matter, everyone will buy into his latest snake oil

    So this must be pandemic Mea Culpa week. Rabid pro-covid vaxxer Ben Shapiro is now expressing regret over both pushing and taking the clot shots.

    I just read this on the latest COVID Blog website. I can’t link it because if I did this post would be blocked.

    I’ll go this far….. thecovidblog(DOT)com

    Yes, Shapiro is allegedly a conservative. But I think he was rabidly pro-vaxx because of something else…… But I dare not say.

    • Norville Rogers November 4, 2022 at 11:33 am #

      I do not understand his appeal. With his absurd Steve Erkel (white guy parody) voice and his breathless staccato cadence I am simply unable listen to him.

      He is the human form of a stck-up-one’s-@$$.

      He does a great job of arguing against kids on campuses, but put him against a learned adult and he fails.

      He found his niche and he made a hustle.

      • Mick November 4, 2022 at 11:40 am #

        I’ve never understood his appeal either. He can’t hold his own against any adult, liberal or conservative. Malcolm Nance, deep state lib extraordinaire, made mince meat of Shapiro on Maher’s show last year. It was embarrassing.

        Yes, he’s piled up a nice stack of shekels despite his limitations. That’s for sure.

    Forgive and forget? um…no. That is really not up to me. I am, however, grateful to people like Oster for making life so uncomfortable for so many of us that we had to wake up and see what was really going on all around us. This is now my 2nd year of homeschooling my kids after witnessing the sad lack of education being provided by our school systems. Best decision ever! As for not taking the shot, Easy. The information was all there for anyone willing to look. The fear that they were pushing was incredible. To those of us that stood strong against it….Bravo!

    • Mick November 4, 2022 at 12:02 pm #

        Well, guess what?

        We all need one now, because there are red pills and blue pills and black pills and white pills, because people are like lazy and need to muddy the waters rather than being original.

      I forgive for my own peace of mind. Carrying a grudge is like me taking poison in the belief that somebody else will die. And forgiveness is the essence of Christian charity.

      Forget? Never. Not on your life or mine. Names have been taken, and outcomes will be fashioned accordingly. These assholes screwed with my life — my job, my well-being, my family, my social life, even my ability to worship.

      I harbor no hatred, but I expect retribution. I expect justice. I don’t hate the dude who stole my car, but I fully expect that he’ll pay a heavy penalty for what he did. That’s how things work.

    ” Fear does a great job of making people stupid. ”

    I never but thought that theory was total bullshit .

    Fear is a very uncomfortable position to be in .

    Consequently, it’s a good bet that the very first thing a genuinely afraid person would do is set about determining if there is actually a reason to be afraid.

    No sense suffering over what to turns out to be only a creaking board , a trick of the light , a misreading of the fine print.

    For another example , I have rarely ever seen a defendant hauled before a court , with good reason to be afraid , who did not listen very carefully to the verdict.

    No sense having a heart attack when the judge actually said , ” Time served and a fine ” , instead of , ” five years in prison. ”

    In contrast , ” I’m afraid ” is commonly the go – to excuse for malice and greed.

        It seems that once again you mistake me for a snake – handling Protestant , and no matter how many times it has been pointed out to you that I am not.

        My best , theory , albeit a theory , is that the vast majority of people will go to Purgatory.

        Now whether Purgatory is two minutes , or two hundred years , ” All’s well that ends well “.

        If you want hard either / or’s ,

        I suppose you need find yourself a Protestant, a Jew , an Atheist , or the folks who issue fishing licenses.

        Then too I flippantly wonder sometimes if you were ever really a policeman.

        I would think a policeman would know better than most that threats of Hell don’t scare evil people.

          No resentment. We never argued. She would ask, occasionally, if I wanted to go to church, and I would decline…but with reservation;

          “If you can get the choir to sing “Wreck on the Highway”, I would go.

          Regarding Kesa’s opinion on Hell not scaring evil people…they may not have feared Hell, but they had a hell of a lot of respect for the OPD….,

          Maybe that is one definition of “fear”?

    • Norville Rogers November 4, 2022 at 12:28 pm #

      How much evidence does one need to determine that irrational fear leads people to act stupidly and make stupid decisions?

      History is replete with such instance, and it goes on.

      Otherwise intelligent, educated, and quantifiably “smarter” people, ones not prone to using leisure time to post away online, made and make stupid decisions based on emotion.

      We only have a limited core range of base emotions.

      Fear is one of them. But we have devised many names to mask the fear.

      Would not want to “appear” stupid.

      • Jarek November 4, 2022 at 2:31 pm #

        Yes, people in the lower levels of the Capstone were afraid of being thrown back down to the plateau, so they did what they were told. Those on the plateau pulled strings on the people right below them, and those people pulled the strings of those below them – and so on down the many tiers of the Pyramid.

        Fear of losing one’s position, job, money, family, or even one’s life are the strings that keep people in line.

        On the positive side, As Buddha said, Fear and shame are the guardians of the world. Imagine what people would do if they weren’t afraid. We know because the people at the top are doing it – because they don’t fear God.

    ” ‘Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity.’ ”

    I never liked that formula either.

    An evil person may never the less be your equal , in intelligence , in capacity , even in Virtue.

    But if you can successfully label a person stupid ( i.e. like a five – year – old , or a person suffering from dementia )

    You can strip them of every right , and in good conscience too.

      It’s called Hanlon’s razor, and while its origins may be innocent – Murphy’s Law Book Two: More Reasons Why Things Go Wrong! (1980) – it has become, in my opinion, a dangerous piece of misdirection. Sounds good – must be true!

      Emily Oster is essentially trying to use Hanlon’s razor to cut the noose that should be around her – and others’ – neck(s). “We weren’t trying to kill you! We were trying – maybe a little too urgently – to save you!”

      The spin that ends in: “We were victims too! Maybe even more victimized than you!”

            FOR AGREEING WITH THEM.

            Maybe I’m smelling my own farts ?

            Or maybe I’m actually a poor writer ?

            Or maybe your reading comprehension cannot see beyond your enchoate and arbitrary likes and dislikes ?

            Like no matter how many times I agree with , or come to the aid of , Jarek , he can’t seem to see beyond my sex and skin color ?

            Or Elysianfield seems to bust my chops when I’m sticking up for Christianity , or ridiculing the police ,

            But seems not so busy when I’m in a particular case the only one on CFN defending a police action ?

            Time will tell I suppose.

            One thing you seemingly have already gotten wrong about me is that I did not get to be 56 years old because a broken heart would kill me.

            Contratrian perhaps , because certainly as a matter of fact unless you happen to be German , or are rushing down to the Catholic Church to join , I really could care less whether you like me ,

            Or dislike me.

            And for future reference ;

            I have pretty much been on the internet as long as there has been an internet.

            Since the punch card Era thereabouts.

            And long ago concluded the internet is the worst possible place to look for friends.

            Why ?

            For example ,

            While I have never actually read it myself , a great many folks say that , ” In Cold Blood ” is a gritty , grim masterpiece that makes Mickey Spillane look like light reading for children.

            But then you go look at an old interview on YouTube of the author who wrote it ,

            And ask yourself incredulously, ” THIS GUY WROTE THAT ??? ! ”

            Indeed he did.

            Ones literary persona and ones real life persona can be as different as night , from day ,

            No dishonesty or deception required , it just works out that way.

            Abraham Lincoln could write really pretty.

            But then Hitler and Trotsky could write beautifully too.

            Last , but not least , I have not been on CFN three years ( ? ) because JHK is a lousy writer.

            But my best guess , and it is a guess , after three years investigation ,

            Is that most likely in real life JHK would hate my guts , and his very presence would sorely irritate me.

            I think it an error to conflate the written word with flesh and blood.

            I do not look for friends on the internet.

            And while I certainly think the internet has its virtues , I think it anything but a social medium.

          • Jarek November 4, 2022 at 2:41 pm #

    Kari Lake often talks about “free and fair elections”. Sounds great. But what happens when its a fair election and you lose, and the winner is disgusted by your very existence?

    It’s about culture and the worldview and presuppositions that create that culture. If two cultures have drifted so far apart (or one alien culture has invaded and taken over the other), then I scarcely think there can be any other result than the annihilation (or at the very least a complete routing and submission) of one of the two.

      Two observations

      One. The electorate is split and the critical races are 50-50 +/- and couple of percent. Problem is our voting systems cannot resolve the difference and a few illegal ballots here and there can make a significant difference. It is just too easy to cheat. First Hillary in 16 and then Trump in 20. Who did it? Both were so assured of victory that the loss, whether legitimate or not, was so bitter it has bred violence on our society, which is violent in the first place.

      Two. Getting rid of mail in ballots is the only way to ensure that one person one vote is happening. A good example is if you sign into a website they first want a user and password. When that was not secure enough, they feed you another pass number to confirm that the recipient is really you. Double checking with ID info flowing both directions ensures valid identification.

      The current ID method, a signature and a date is hogwash. Especially when the cheaters are running ballots without either. The only solution is in person voting with identification bu Picture ID for the election judge, then a password to get into the voting machine that is unique to the person on the picture ID. Once that password is entered, that person cannot vote again at the national level.

      The picture ID will stop dead or relocated voters. The password will stop repeat voters and state line crossers. Getting rid of mail in ballots will stop ballot stuffing and illegal ballots.

      Sounds great doesn’t it. Until you realize that the number one group who would oppose it is the pols themselves as it will stop their ability to cheat.

      One more, no damn internet. Countering machines only hooked into the voting machines. No internet, no computers anywhere.

      The system is one counting machine counting the inputs from a district, or a state, whatever the number of voters needs. So a thousand voting machines could be input into a single counter. A good rule would be that no one is allowed in a room containing the counting machine.

      A really good aspect of this would be the fact that when the vote count is stopped at the voting machine level, the counts are totaled already. When the “seal is broken” on the counting machine, the results are in. Single night results would be the norm. East coast results could be delayed until west coast voting is complete on federal voting. Another good thing could be that many backwater precincts could have their votes counted by machine as fast as the big cities districts stopping the delays that bring on fraud.

    This was a righteous essay today and a stirring call for justice.

    But I want to add that we need to focus on the ongoing releases of “variants” that our ruling overlords are using to keep up the fear and push the GMO injectables.
    We cannot focus on the past while ignoring the present.

    I repeat the conclusion of the Russian MoD’s report on the bioweapon labs….
    “According to our experts, this is reflected in the variability uncharacteristic of most coronaviruses, resulting in different peaks in incidence, significant differences in lethality and infectivity, uneven geographic spread, and the unpredictability of the epidemic process overall. Despite efforts to contain and isolate cases, the pandemic appears to be being artificially fueled by the exposure of new variants of the virus to this or that region.”

    • Edge Lord November 4, 2022 at 1:17 pm #

      Paula, seriously? No, like srrsssly?

      Uh, the like new variants don’t get released until like after the election?

      Uh, duhhhhh

      • Paula D November 4, 2022 at 1:39 pm #

        In my opinion, the sudden appearance of a new, more deadly RSV strain is most likely a gain-of-function product.

        They are targeting the children.

        • niner November 4, 2022 at 2:12 pm #

          I agree, Paula.

          We know they are targeting the children in many other ways.

          So this is a reasonable suspicion.

          It really is time, and past, to at least do a general strike.

          The streets have been empty since the truckers’ grand convoy, which unfortunately gained no ground.

          We are all looking around for a way to stop this.

          This election better work, or there will be hell to pay.

          • Anthea November 4, 2022 at 7:32 pm #

            I’m skeptical that a general strike would be useful, mainly because so many of the PTB’s actions have been to literally shut down the economy, or to put policies in place (like limiting energy production, refining, and transport) that have that effect.

            The only peaceful way out, it seems to me, is secession. Since few states seem to be actively pursuing this option, maybe people could petition their county governments to put pressure on their state governments to develop a plan for state secession.

            States should start disengaging with the federal government in every way possible–which, unfortunateloy, would mainly involve not accepting federal funds for much of anything. Maybe states could refuse to accept federal funds or comply with federal mandates while at the same time asserting that their citizens were thus not obligated to pay taxes to the federal government. (States would have to back that one up with measures to protect their citizens from federal prosecution.) Anyway, at least start the process.

            If several states began framing legislation to the effect, it might at least give the federal government a wake-up call.

            The other big thing that states would have to address is creating a monetary system and reorganizing their banking systems. I’d say if a state can work out the above issues, they’d be about nine-tenths of the way towards solving the problems of secession.

          • Anthea November 4, 2022 at 7:33 pm #

            Then, as independent nations, states could join the BRICS.

          • Blackbird November 4, 2022 at 10:20 pm #

            The election will work (but not the way I think you had in mind), and Hell will be paid (it always is – and we pay the interest, forever).

            Secession doesn’t have a very successful record in this country – not since the first attempt anyway. But if we’re gonna explore in that direction, how about secession by counties? Townships? We could have constantly shifting patchworks composed of alliances of countries, states/provinces, townships, free cities – like the Holy Roman Empire. Sure, it had its problems, but it lasted nearly 1,000 years.

          • Woodchuck November 5, 2022 at 1:19 am #

            Secession will be on the table front and center only after the collapse of the dollar. Then the states will have nothing to lose. Also, without access to fuel, most everyone in the USA will die. Once people understand this, and that secession will be the only way to get food and fuel, nearly everyone will be on board. The EU will collapse first with all the Western nations seceding and becoming sovereign again. The USA will be a year or two maybe behind the EU in the cracking-up-into-pieces process. It will be the only way for the project of civilized living to continue.

          Early on in the plandemic, maybe March 2020, I came across a map showing the distribution of different variants of “SARS-CoV-2”. (I bookmarked it – somewhere…)

          One quick look and it was obvious that what I was seeing was evidence of the release of a bioweapon by the US. Mostly one variant in China, another in Iran, another in Italy, almost nothing in-between, but in the US, 4 variants showed roughly equal representation.

          Nothing natural about “Covid”.

    ” By now, everybody and his uncle has seen Emily Oster’s plea for “pandemic amnesty” in The Atlantic magazine, ”

    Actually I had not a clue who Emily Oster was , and still Don’t.

    Which I think is an albeit small evidence that we aren’t talking about dozens or even hundreds of malefactors , but thousands , or even millions.

    What about the parent , for example , whom we suspect vaxxed their kids not for securities sake but for conformaties sake?

    I need not ask if this is a serious crime , because you have in fact sent people to prison for reckless endangerment.

    God forbid that such puerile status – seeking did NOT result in a dead child.

    For , otherwise , how many penniless orphans would such prosecutions create ?

    And are you planning on inviting all those orphans over to your place ?

    Granted , no doubt you would say that you have a good reason to prosecute millions , and the Nazis didn’t.

    But at these scales , I would wonder why you would even bother with such hair – splitting.

    After the first few hundred , or thousand , or a million , what’s a few more ?

    And how shall you process them ?

    With volunteer Burger King cashiers ?

    No , I reckon you will need scores more lawyers , judges , court stenographers , paralegals , policemen , prison gaurds , etc , etc , etc .

    Let’s double down on all that ,

    Because it has worked so fucking good so far !

    Nuremberg?

    70 years later they were still spending millions you don’t have to prosecute corporals now so senile that they can’t remember what they had for breakfast this morning , much less can they remember what they did or did not do in a six month period seventy years ago.

    Meanwhile folks who by their own admission deliberately carpet – bombed residential neighborhoods full of children and grandmother’s recieve praise and pensions and scarcely even a wet noodle reprimand.

      They first tried a RSV vaccine in the 60s.
      They pulled it after it only killed two kids. Those were the good old days!
      There was no immunity for the drug companies in those days.
      I think they rolled out another RSV vaccine this century, but I don’t know how many parents fall for it.

      This is another bioweapon, imo, designed to scare parents into allowing their children to be injected with yet another drug.

      Hmmm

      Wonder if this hospital overload situation stems from the breakdown of access to primary care?

      Sorry, it is after hours or we are booked until next month.

      So what do you do with a sick child!

      ER or urgent care!!

      Used to be if you got the sniffles, a headache or a sore throat, you went to the drugstore and got a treatment for your cold or even flu. Why? Because the doctor could not treat viruses. So you treated your symptoms until they went away. If it got so bad, or did not improve in a few days, then you went to the ER or primary care.

      Hmmm, could it be that by trumpeting Covid the medical community has locked in generations of patients by inducing fear of “colds”.

      • MaryQueen November 4, 2022 at 3:42 pm #

        Good point. Another way the medical industrial complex rakes in more money are people going to the ER with the sniffles.

      • Paula D November 4, 2022 at 4:12 pm #

        They don’t hospitalize children for the sniffles.

        Yes, idiots show up at the ER all the time with the sniffles, but they get treated and streeted, they don’t get admitted.

        This is a more serious strain of RSV. The question is- where did it come from?

        • JohnAZ November 4, 2022 at 4:19 pm #

          With Covid incentives and the fear of the symptoms of Covid, sniffles and sore throat, are you sure they are not getting admitted?

          Let alone the unreliability of the PCR testing.

          • Paula D November 4, 2022 at 9:20 pm #

            They are getting admitted for RSV not covid.

            And the RSV swab has been around for decades. I used to test kids all the time.

            They don’t admit for a positive test of any kind, they admit for respiratory distress.

      • tully November 5, 2022 at 7:02 am #

        Reducing staffing to bare bones, which hospitals were doing long before covid hit, can also lead to overload situations. Now, I think they are struggling to keep enough people for minimum staffing. Lots of HCWs have left the field the last couple years. I’ve noticed the local community college doing heavy advertising for their health care programs.

    “Emily Oster’s plea for ‘pandemic amnesty’…”

    To be granted ‘Amnesty!’ there first need to be some pre-conditions fully agreed-to by all involved Parties. All those who promoted the CovidCon in any ways large and small need to do the following things:

    1. Stay locked inside their homes for two years. Plus fifty more.

    2. Take a healthy dose of those death injections. Every hour. And then all the boosters. Until they begin to look like human pincushions and do lots of leaking.

    3. Lose their jobs and businesses. Become homeless and live in one of those Biden-towns.

    4. Wear a double-layer of masks 24 hours a day.

    5. Engage in ‘intimate activity’ while staying six-feet-apart from each other.

    6. Have their children lose two years of effective schooling with enhanced feelings of fear and distrust of others.

    7. Have their anti-social media accounts prominently flagged as Disinformation. Forever.

    8. No leaving the house for a walk or exercise. In fact, no leaving the bedroom even to go to the bathroom.

    9. Beg… plead… bargain… then beg and plead and bargain some more while asking for ‘Mercy” and ‘Understanding’.

    10. Claw-back of all ill-gotten State powers to get involved in personal health matters and to declare lockdowns and similar infringements on human freedom.

    11. Lose all professional credentials.

    12. Accept the permanent role of being shamed social outcasts.

    And finally…

    Full restitution in all ways monetary, full and sincere apologies, restoration of full job status, restoration of health for all injured persons… return of all ill-gotten gains, and a very public denunciation with lusty shaming and ridicule of Doctors ‘The Science!’ and ‘The Data Lady’, the entire demonic Big Pharma Industrial Complex, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and all the others.

    All persons harmed in any way by these medical deceivers and dark-science wizards must receive full and complete restitution in all manners…

    And THEN… Quadruple Damages and forgiveness of all Federal Taxes for the next 5,000 years…

    And THEN… and only THEN… will we even begin to think about… ‘Amnesty’.

    Before we say… HELL… EFFING… NO.

            John Mclame was a military dynasty. His politics were so f’ed up he could not even get a real VP candidate or

            Shhh! Beat the first Black president.

            No dynasty there. He was censored by the Arizona GOP.

            Indeed. I still remember that before I moved to Europe, an ex colleague in DC told me I might dislike the system there as it was so “class based,” unlike the United States.

            I nearly spit out my coffee. Americans are sadly one of the most deluded populations on the planet.

            You guys are spot on. We couldn’t be more class-based if we tried.

          John, I feel you are misinformed about monarchies. That’s mankind’s long term default system. What’s going on right now with rule by republic is failing badly and falling apart. Historically speaking, republics don’t last long, with the average age of one being 250 years. We’re at that point on our timeline, and it’s very likely why we are failing. Democracies and republics don’t have the citizens capable of making good voting decisions. They never have and never will. It just won’t and can’t work long term.

          • Jarek November 5, 2022 at 1:25 pm #

            Not enough of such citizens, not by far. President Jackson opened up the franchise to the mob, hoping to beat the Elite that way. He underestimated their stupidity and the cunning of the Elite – past Masters of leading the hoi polloi.

            Going the other way is a better answer. The Founders weren’t strict enough about the requirements to vote – tying it into being White, Male, and owning land. Those are just for starters with the one about owning land not really a good metric. Just be financially solvent.

Onlookers will hear the thumping/smacking sound of hundreds of pick handles, axes, and clubs impacting full force on human flesh. Even going as far as mob marches with heads on pikes leading the way? Would that satisfy?

          No one is advocating violence, only accountability. The True Believers hate to face the fact — much less admit — that the knuckle draggers (or any Trump voter, scientist or doctor who dared ask a question) were right along.

          Lockdowns don’t work
          Masks don’t work
          Social distancing doesn’t work
          Closing schools doesn’t work
          Closing bars, restaurants, businesses doesn’t work
          Vaccines don’t work
          Vaccine passports don’t work

          In fact, Emily & all you other “science believers”, it was the science that proved you were hypnotized into believing you could protect yourself (& crush the nonbelievers) by following science into a dead end.

      Forgive, but never forget.

      Forgiveness is for you, not the bad guy who wronged you.

      Forgiveness is letting the wrong that was done no longer control you.

      It IS NOT letting the bastard off the hook.

      • Blackbird November 4, 2022 at 9:50 pm #

        JAZ, I think you may be modifying the meaning of “forgive” just a little bit, leaving out the “no longer wanting to punish” part. “Forgive” evolved from the same root – perdonare – as “pardon”. Maybe it should evolve in the direction you are pushing it. Let “forgive” and “pardon” go their separate ways. Anyway…

        Could you honestly walk up to Fauci – or anyone else all the way down to this lowly spin doctor Oster – and say “I forgive you”? For intentionally killing and maiming millions of people? Hell no. It was no accident. There are no excuses. Their pictures should be on the Post Office wall until they are imprisoned – for life in most cases – or dead.

        But you are correct, don’t let them hijack your emotions. If you are one of the lucky ones to hand over a varmint carcass, don’t smile as you collect your bounty.

    Noam Chomsky said the unvaccinated should starve. I kept copies of the tweet or article where he was quoted.

    Sean Penn said that being unvaccinated was the same as driving drunk, insinuating that we are all potential murderers.

      US nuclear forces chief says Ukraine ‘just the warmup’ for larger crisis
      Andrew Feinberg – Yesterday 9:39 AM

      The senior naval officer in charge of America’s nuclear triad says the current worldwide tensions sparked by Russia’s war against Ukraine could be the opening act for a larger conflict that the US must prepare for.

      n remarks at the Naval Submarine League’s 2022 Annual Symposium & Industry Update, US Strategic Command commander Admiral Charles Richard said the Ukraine crisis “is just the warmup”.

      “The big one is coming, and it isn’t going to be very long before we’re going to get tested in ways that we haven’t been tested a long time,” he said.

      Mr Richard said US forces’ “level of deterrence” against China – a major competitor and adversary – is “slowly sinking” because the Chinese have been able to build and deploy more “capability in the field” at a faster rate than their American counterparts.

      “As those curves keep going, it isn’t going to matter how good our [operating plan] is or how good our commanders are, or how good our horses are – we’re not going to have enough of them. And that is a very near-term problem,” he said, though he added that the US submarine force remains “maybe the only true asymmetric advantage we still have against our opponents”.

      In August, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday told the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank that the most significant barrier to boosting US naval capabilities is “an industrial capacity that’s limited”.

      Successive waves of base closures and defence budget cuts have led the US to close formerly government-owned naval shipyards and transfer more and more responsibility to private contractors, leaving far fewer facilities capable of building or maintaining warships than were available during prior conflicts.

    It appears the DNC is dragging out the dinosaurs Obama and Hillary.

    Hey Barry go fuck yourself.

    BREAKING: Today I called out @BarackObama for supporting @katiehobbs , a woman running for AZ Gov who has a history of discriminating against BLACK PEOPLE at the Democrats Rally here in PHX, AZ

    Democrat supporters unleashed screaming in my face and deported me from the rally pic.twitter.com/1noTXduzZ6

    — Drew Hernandez (@DrewHLive) November 3, 2022
    “I I I … Are you going to start yelling?” Obama said. “Don’t start yelling. Don’t start yelling. Why do you start yelling?”

    The event on Wednesday was interrupted by a member of the audience who reportedly asked Obama about his support for gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs (D-Ariz.), who allegedly has a history of discriminating against black people.

    Hobbs reportedly fired a black staffer in 2015, causing racial controversy. She was forced to apologize afterward.

    Obama appeared visibly irritated with the heckler, telling him to “set up his own rally.”

    “Don’t get distracted,” Obama said. “Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. Hold up. Hey, young man. Young man, just listen for a second. You know, you have to be polite and civil when people are talking then other people are talking, and then you get a chance to talk. Set up your own rally.”

    The former president was also faced with hecklers during a recent rally in Michigan. There, attendees asked him about the U.S. government’s role in the Ukraine crisis.

    • Mick November 4, 2022 at 8:59 pm #

    Hey, where is Redneck Liberal?

    Strange goings on in New Zealand, and I’m not talking about summary arrest and a $50,000 fine for the crime of ‘Wrongspeak.’ Oh, their nanny scold of a PM is cracking down on speech alright but what I’m referring to is the government seizing farmland from private owners for the purpose of “reducing methane emissions” lol. Apparently the NZ PM has gone balls to the wall for WEF climate mandates and is cracking down on farmers and ranchers, which seems a little shortsighted considering agricultural products are NZs main export. The truth is that little pissant country could sink into the Pacific Ocean and it wouldn’t make a goddam bit of difference to the world’s climate.

        Mary, are real estate prices tanking in Boise? I read an article today claiming recent arrivals are already regretting the prices they paid for houses just a year or two ago.

          No room for farmers as they need to build rail links to everywhere.

          Instead of farms, there are to be ‘food innovation hubs’, or something like that, which presumably won’t involve anything we currently think of as food. That’s the plan around the globe, not just the Netherlands.

            Food Innovation Hubs? Sounds a little like Collective Farms set up by the Bolsheviks in eastern Ukraine & western Russia 1931-1933. Of course there was resistance, which paved the way to the Holodomor. Another Holodomor, is that what’s in the offing?

          • GreenAlba November 5, 2022 at 7:33 am #

            Food innovation hubs – from the horse’s mouth (or the pig’s maw, if you prefer):

            weforum.org/press/2021/01/food-innovation-hubs-put-farmers-at-head-of-the-table-for-systems-change

            I think we’re all agreed that the US is a better place to fight the WEF future, because a large part of the population is not on board and will resist to the last.

            India has little chance – they started attacking Indian farmers decades ago with their seed patents, so that many just committed suicide because they couldn’t feed their families. And they already have their digital ID system in place for all state-related necessities, like healthcare and subsidies. What happens in the Netherlands (and I heard the German farmers were protesting too, also some in Easern Europe?) will be significant.

            Here in the UK, the government is paying farmers £100,000 to retire early or quit, to enable ‘rewilding’ of their land (for ‘rewilding’ read ‘compulsory purchase by WEF’).

    Greed alone having caused the c19 paradigm shift would, at this point, be a comfort. A predictable part of the human condition, greed. I could deal with that. Ineffective placebos rushed in to make some rich fucks richer. OK.

    But there’s high weirdness going on. Nothing can be ruled out. My take, and I’m nobody and know nothing, is a full blossoming of the Wuhan seed not in my generation (51), or my children’s (20’s), but their children. An altered DNA, perhaps requiring compliance to entitle one to antidote shots. Nanotech, culling, bioweapon: nothing is to weird to contemplate.

    The Huxley brothers were visionary intellectual titans; like so many intellectuals, alas, they lacked, or buried, the moral spark. I’m thinking Julian, the biologist, but mainly Aldous, the writer, who sketched the world now being born. The double helix, messed with. Authoritarianism at the molecular level. Alphas and Epsilons both happy because they are what they were meant to be, high or low servants of the State. DNA fascism.

    Carpe Diem, serve others, plant bok-choi and sell it at the farmers market. Respect the gopher tortoises and the deer if they eat some of the bok- choi, too. As gustafson explained, and everyone that pays attention knows, the natural world is in collapse. Forget climate change. Depleted soils, fisheries, topsoils, rainforests, plastic apocalypse, water shortages, nuclear waste. What can I do? Plant seeds and breathe, don’t fall into the narcotic bliss of TV and a bottle, think, act, cherish each day lived in freedom and happiness because anytime things could get a lot worse.

    D and R are part of the problem, not the solution. Still, I went and voted for my Gov, DeSantis, just as a sign of respect for the way he stood against the covid blitzkrieg and preserved a degree of freedom for us Floridians. I left the rest of the ballot blank, including the warmonger Rubio. But I had to show the governor some respect.

    • MaryQueen November 4, 2022 at 11:04 pm #

      Nice to see you, Rulo. I think DeSantis also deserved your vote.

      I do think our DNA has collectively been altered, but since I also believe Mother Nature bats last, I suppose that at some point it will be sorted (probably after a long era of ugliness though).

      All we can do is try to survive the best we know how. I’d say in that, you’re ahead of the game, so good on you.

      • JohnAZ November 5, 2022 at 10:45 am #

        Mary

        I watched a you tube about the effects of viruses long term on species.

        The program showed that viral “pandemics affect the DNA of the species attacked. Could it be that the DNA changes to sensitize the organism’s immune system to cancel the stamp of the virus. Is the continuing DNA sequences a record of the organism’s fight against the micro environment that continuously tries to “eat” it. Meiosis continuously changes the DNA character of the organism to keep the “bugs” at bay. Could it be that viruses cause DNA change for the same effect.

        The show showed that viruses in the past can be traced into sequences in the DNA Now. Remember that herd immunity affects a species? Remember the DNA modification that was evidenced from both the virus and the vaxx changed DNA by placing viral reverse transcriptase into the host DNA. In the evolutionary crap shoot, DNA modification may cause immunity to viruses. The variations of viruses is the reverse, their adaptation to offset our evolution. It is a war.

        One more, thinking about 2020 and our narcissistic government. Nothing scares power people more than the inability to control people or situations. Covid was and still is a perfect example. An agent that kills without remorse. Sorta like Jaws. Scared the heck out of the entire ruling class. Their efforts to control the “pandemic” did nothing. My guess is putting people in the hospital and tubing them in response to lowering O2sat may have killed many more people than if they had just treated the symptoms.

        Finally, all this for a .1% problem. Never let a crisis pass —-. Hindsight is 20-20.

          Good points.

          • JohnAZ November 5, 2022 at 12:46 pm #

            The panic cancelled out the words from the group of scientists calling out the warnings.

            The mRNA model, as told by their research scientists, should work like a champ. It was sold to Trump et al based on the model.

            You know the difference between scientists and engineers? Scientists come up with ideal solutions and engineers make them actually work overcoming the defects of the design.

            That is what happened here. The scientists put their model on display and the engineers said, there are potential problems here. The model insists there is no leakage of the mRNA into the blood stream or even the blood brain barrier. Then they put the m RNA into a hypodermic needle and assumed that nothing would go into the blood or leak into the brain. Boy, were they wrong. Leakage happens everywhere that needle goes in. How could they think that a needle in a muscle would not invade blood vessels of all sizes. Remember the IM procedure? Pull back to check for blood? Remember that normal IM infections use the capillaries to slowly dispense meds into the bloodstream? The nurse et al that shot everyone did not follow protocol, I will guarantee that. Too fast, and too many folks.

            Then there is the s protein, whose job it is to hurt the host, supposedly in the muscle injected, to allow the host immune system to build resistance, which it does, then disappear as the immune system destroys them. Hmmm. Except that it is probable that DNA is altered creating S protein generating modified host cells. Except that s proteins may last a long time and cause recurrent inflammation. Except that s proteins attach to just about every organ but especially the heart and circulatory system. Remember that ACE2 is for blood pressure control. Except that the mRNA escapes the muscle and invades all areas of the body converting all kinds of host cells to s protein generators. Except that these new mRNA modified cells are IDed by the immune system as non host and inflammation happens EVERYWHERE.

            An accurate description of the vaxx, IMHO, is injecting Covid into the bloodstream. Covid itself invades the nose and mouth, hence the lung is attacked. The Vaxx has access to the entire body.

            Could it be that the end result of the vaxx is that we have been injected with long term Covid? Some research, I believe is looking into this.

      The main project is killing most of us off, but they may be doing other things as well. There was some really interesting footage gathered of the nano-tech opening up in the bloodstream of the vaxed, with an explosion of beautiful colors, and then movement as it began to assemble.

      Obviously the remnant of humanity is not going to be unaltered, though they would be wise to leave some in their natural state in case the whole thing fails – assuming they even care.

    My letter to Ms. Oster, sent Tuesday:

    “We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.” You may have been in the dark – thousands of us were not, and were persecuted for resisting the dominant Big Pharma narrative. The whole endemic and its aftermath was not some innocent blunder, even if credulous academics simply got aboard the bandwagon. It has cost thousands of lives and will continue to do so, while the economy will never recover from the idiotic lockdown.

    “Forgive?” You ask too much. Perpetrators should be prosecuted with a vengeance, and enablers such as yourself should pay the price of their intellectual credibility, at the very least.

      It sounds like a very polite letter. My bigger confusion is around this whole notion of an expected attitude of forgiveness.

        My wife got that procedure. It was a pain in the ass for her. She had to sleep sitting up for three days to keep the swelling down, hard to do. Not a lot of pain.

        But- like all plastic surgery, it does not stop gravity. Her sag is reappearing with time, about six years ago.

        Talk to people who had the surgery a while back to see how it holds up.

          No problem with the six years, I expect to be dead by then.

    • Disaffected November 5, 2022 at 12:33 pm #

      What up Q.? That was me. The uppers worked out very well. Healed up and pretty much good to go within 6 weeks. Slow improvement after that as well, but mostly healed in 6 weeks. Glad as hell I did them, because they really did look hideous.

      The lowers have been more persistent. The procedure worked well and reduced the bag size significantly, but they have come back in reduced more localized form, especially in the mornings after a good night’s sleep. The surgeon did tell me ahead of time that I should temper my expectations for the lowers, as some people are just prone to the damn things no matter what. Nonetheless, I’m happy with the procedure overall and would do it again.

      Pain and swelling from both procedures was considerable for at least the first two weeks and should not be underestimated. Since I was working from home appearance wasn’t crucial, but the pain and the swelling just made me want to lay and bed and keep my eyes closed as much as possible. The anesthesia was also quite difficult. I’ve had a few out patient procedures before, so I thought I knew what to expect there, but this was a whole ‘nother thing altogether. As might be expected, using scalpels that close to your eyeballs requires some DEEP anesthesia to make sure you’re not moving around in the least on the table, so be prepared for that. The ventilator tube also gave me a sore throat for a couple of days.

      Cost me $6K all in, which I found to be reasonable overall, given the fact that this required a fully equipped OR and staff of about six, including an anesthesiologist.

      • Q. Shtik November 5, 2022 at 1:00 pm #

        Thanks Dis for your thorough answer. I am considering only the upper lids and it may be covered by my health insurance. That is yet to be determined. The insurance company has to agree that the purpose of the surgery has to do with vision and is not simply to make me more handsome.

        I asked the doc if in his experience he thought the insurance co. would agree that the surgery was medically necessary and he said yes.

        • Disaffected November 5, 2022 at 2:07 pm #

          So much the better if it’s insurance. They do a field of vision test to see if your lids and/or brow overhang are obstructing your vision >=20%. Mine was just excess lid skin with no significant brow overhang, so it didn’t qualify.

          That said, the uppers are very much more straightforward, as there’s much less fatty tissue involved that’s affected by sinus fluid drainage and the like. Your post made me go look at mine again more closely and they really do look pretty good now. The “bags” are confined to the eye sockets now instead of going way down my cheek, so I think I’ve got no complaints. I’m continuing to look for reasons that they swell more in some people than others, but haven’t turned anything up yet. Some things you just have to learn to live with I guess.

            So you went ahead and paid out of pocket because the procedure was deemed to be for cosmetic purposes? Right?

    Good stuff on the UK Column today about the political sitiu in the USA.

    Longish segment from Patrick Hennigsen with some repulsive video footage of Barry Obama and some great comments by Kari Lake. Hennigson rightly calls out Obama for the childishness and immaturitiy of his comments. No “elder statesman” he.

    One subtlety of Lake’s comments that sailed right by Hennigsen was some dog whistling she did when she noted the presence of Hilary at the Dems’a rally. Lake pointedly sent the message to Hillarly that the brakes of her car have been checked and are in good working order, she herself is healthy, and she has zero intention of committing suicide.

    Political violence and deplorables vs Democracy…whose side are you on?

    • SoftStarLight November 5, 2022 at 12:49 am #

      Why do you try so hard to be an intel bot? The political violence is coming from the side bought out by the globalists, pfizer, the corporate mercenaries and looters, the bankers, etc. The people who profit from war and death. The accusation is however directed at the populists and nationalists to dehumanize and demoralize. Congrats!! You are a mouthpiece of genocidal warmongers and globalist pigs.

      • riverrunner November 5, 2022 at 1:11 am #

        Lots of fancy lingo there buddy. Just to be clear, you’re aligning yourself with those that advocate violence if they don’t win? Various groups willing to short circuit the democratic process. See Wisconsin. Got it. I’m all against war and genocide, looters and bankers but let’s try and stay on topic. Who is committing genocide? Be specific. And I hate to break it to you, your adoration for wannabe dictators can easily be turned against you. But go ahead, vote for those that have no real idea what they are doing in terms of governance.

        • SoftStarLight November 5, 2022 at 3:39 am #

          No, actually it is straightforward and clear. As if the “governance” is going so well thusfar huh. The genocide of the jabbed. Is one example. Then of course there are the pointless wars and proxy wars. Ukraine. Yemen. Syria. And on and on it goes.

          But sure, people who want a system that isn’t rigged, a media that isn’t a psyop state propaganda operation, transparent government and elections, a functioning border, freedom from medical and police state tyranny and on and on are wannabe dictators. That speaks for itself. And what adoration are you talking about? Very strange attribution given it isn’t there in my words. But you obviously adore the status quo, no?

          • Redneck Liberal November 6, 2022 at 9:11 pm #

            “…people who want a system that isn’t rigged, a media that isn’t a psyop state propaganda operation, transparent government and elections, a functioning border, freedom from medical and police state tyranny and on and on are wannabe dictators.

            The irony, SSL, of that is that these things you so fervently desire will NOT be delivered by the mini-fascists you’re about to elect. Do you think the MAGAts are all ‘good guys’? Hardy har har…

            As Bill Maher pointed out on Saturday, “Hitler was elected. So was Mussolini. Putin, Erdogan & Orban”. When the ‘election deniers’ are ‘elected’, the irony is complete, especially as these people are saying (lots of them) “Elect me and Republicans will never lose another election”. Once it’s gone, it won’t come back.

            youtube.com/watch?v=HKVBvooZ2c8&t=238s

            I get it, that the MAGAts are so enraged at everything they see as being unfair and even ‘fascist’ that they choose to believe that democracy is gone and that elections are already compromised (they’re not, despite Night-Howler-Monkey’s evidence based on pizza boxes – see this:

          I am genuinely curioius to know which conservative policies you oppose.

          Which liberal policies to you advocate, specifically?

          Which conservative policies, specifically, do you believe to be dictatorial or tyrannical?

          The Democrats’ policies have long been tyrannical. The covid measures are an example of this writ large. People locked in their homes in some cities, businesses forcibly closed, freedom of assembly denied, churches closed, travel restricted, forced masking, advocacy for putting “unbelievers” in concentration camps or starving them. Later, the promotion of vaccinations as a human medical experiment, advocacy for forced vaccinations, firing people from their jobs if they refused to submit. Censorship.

          Democrat policies stand in opposition to the Bill of Rights.

          Perhaps you can name at least one conservative policy that you view as tyrannical, instead of just talking drivel.

    • benr November 5, 2022 at 10:06 am #

      Let’s take a look at this for just a second.
      On its face value it appears to be a statement of all or nothing and yet well.

      First thing that jumps out at me is the display of pure ignorance at least in the case of America being a Democracy.
      The United States of America is a Representative Republic thank you very much. I suspect you have already been told this so why do you keep repeating this bullshit? Oh, that’s right because the Democrat party says this tripe all the time.

      Next let’s look at who has REALLY been engaged in Violence across our once great Republic. The couple of hundred riots that have occurred were heavily populated by two groups BLM and Antifa.
      We know this because they were not shy about screaming it to anyone that was close enough to hear it and all the graffiti everywhere proclaimed it.
      It has been a very violent last three years or so and 99% has been Democrat supporters at the helm of all of it.
      BLM certainly a minor wing of the Democrat party and I might also make you aware they are avowed Communists and self-proclaimed enemies of our precious Republic.
      Much support has been thrown their way by Democrats in office right now so no denying that simple fact along with millions of dollars totalling enough to supply pallets of bricks and cases of frozen water to cause mayhem and damage as well as enough to embezzle and buy several million-dollar houses! I guess they showed all you fool’s it was just a big grift to steal money and buy shit.

      Next we have the Fascist Ant-Fascist freak show Antifa.
      What can we say about this group of scum?
      Ugly and not very good at fighting as the prod boys have shown over and over. This group of collective idiots has been at every riot you could name even the source of what little violence happened at the really mostly peaceful protest on January 6.
      This group of idiots is again DNC supported and clearly NOT tied to the Republican party in any way shape or form.

      MAGA rallies are not only not violent, but they tend to clean up an area cleaner than when it started.
      So exactly where is this violence you point to regarding the ridiculous Hillary Clinton coined phrase Deplorables?
      What is Deplorable is the factual destruction of Democrat run cities, counties, states and now country.
      Decay, violence, economic woes and all sorts of lousy consequences happen when the DEMOcrats gain power.

      So where does that leave us?
      Well, I for one think your either an idiot, paid troll or as someone else said a confused federally run sock puppet but either way let me give you a hearty go fuck yourself.
      Quit lying the evidence of the last thirty years shows the Democrat party is a wrecking ball and the current misery index proves it.

      • Jarek November 5, 2022 at 1:52 pm #

        Fascist Anti-Fascist? Ridiculous. Make up your mind.

        The Nazis crushed the antifa in old Germany. The Fascist Proud Boys and similar groups would have done the same here if it wasn’t for the police protecting the antifa.

        • riverrunner November 5, 2022 at 2:47 pm #

        • benr November 5, 2022 at 3:01 pm #

        • Jarek November 5, 2022 at 9:57 pm #

          Tactics? So that’s the same as essence or belief system? So would make the United States the same as the Nazis since both used similar weapons in WW2.

          Wow, what a fail – albeit a very common in one these deluded times.

          • benr November 6, 2022 at 9:28 am #

            Yes, street tactics dunce.
            Not belief systems.
            They are using the playbook of the group of people they claim to hate.
            Their politics I am not interested in because as long as they are held accountable for the violence, they will never achieve political power.
            Their message is straight up stupid, and their look is enough to turn off the vast majority of Americans.

            I supported the proud boys in their beat down of this menace and the fact the proud boys helped little old ladies and families avoid the beating these cowards would have tried to bring.

          • benr November 6, 2022 at 9:30 am #

            And by support, I mean their beat down of Antifa ONLY.

          • Jarek November 6, 2022 at 11:46 am #

            So in other words, since the United States used many of the same military tactics that the Nazis did, they were the same. Thus it didn’t really matter who won.

            Your own ridiculous logic cancels out your silly pov.

            The Proud Boys are MAGA Fascists. So yes, they are superior to antifa even if they use violence as the antifa do.

            Thus you have the right instincts, but are utterly incapable of rationally justifying it. This is the common lot of humanity. Education doesn’t help most – and of course bad education usually ruins even the intellectually gifted.

      You Leftists love Jan.6. Well, it wasn’t surprising that the Rightest had enough of the duplicity of the people in that Capitol building.

      I just wish the Antifa would realize the problems they are rioting about are caused by the Dem led government of the past 40 years.

      To my fellow conservatives on this blog, do not let this Lefty get away with his blather.

      Well yesterday I`m out raking leaves on what was the most beautiful day in recent memory with a warm November sun, air translucent & soft, and a gentle breeze floating oak & maple leaves to the ground. I got my earbuds on listening to a longshot Green Party candidate for State Senate being interviewed — a young woman in her thirties — going on and on about the Climate Apocalypse, Catastropic Weather Events, Climate Doom, the Transition to Renewables, Climate This & Climate that, Climate Lockdowns — you get the picture? I was thinking for God’s Sake pull your head out of your ass and go outdoors for a few minutes, get a different perspective.

        @ BackRowHeckler:

        Same here. We had several sunny days with temps in the 70s–though the trees here are mostly bare now. Beautiful days. I spent them transplanting some potted plants into a flower bed and pulling up turnips to go in the freezer. Yesterday’s heavy rain is good news for the kale and collards–which are already lushly abundant.

        Makes you wonder where this young woman lives. I guess if you lived on the south side of Chicago, you could complain that the air is 90% lead and the weather is crappy. (A Chicago winter will make almost anyone skeptical about human survival.) Also, I am guessing there is a lot of trash on the streets, though I have not been there.

        Marlin, another thought.

        With the population continuing to increase more arable land will be needed down the road. Could it be we need Canada and Siberia to be defrosted by climate change? Unfortunately, the US may be pulled into a desert latitude belt. Could be that the US is going to lose its bread basket just as Russia increases its arable land. Just look at what the Ukrainian grain embargo is doing to world starvation right now.

            I tend to think of them as neoliberals or neoconservatives. Those have essentially joined. Once you go far enough left you find yourself at the far right again. I digress. The neolibs/neocons include people like Liz Cheney, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, AOC, this Emily Oster person etc. It seems to me they all would certainly be in full favor of the climate lockdowns because it centers around accumulation of power for them.

    WHAT NEXR MORE RIDICULOUS INEFFECTIVE MASK MANDATES AND LOCKDOWNS?
    Alex Jones has been claiming they are coming back I guess the mad man was right again.

    The U.S. has “crossed the epidemic threshold” when it comes to flu, federal health officials said Friday, as they outlined plans to deploy personnel from the Department of Defense and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and supplies like ventilators from the Strategic National Stockpile, if needed.

    .S. flu hospitalizations are higher now than they’ve been at this point in every other flu season since 2010-2011, officials with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on a press call.

    This is a developing story and will be updated.

        And the ‘flu vaccine’ will doubtless contain a whole lot of things that shouldn’t be there, just like the ‘covid vaccine’. Not to mention that, even without mysterious additions, meta studies from multiple countries demonstrate that it doesn’t reduce rates of death from flu, especially in the elderly, whose immune response to vaccines (real ones) is logically going to be no better than their reponse to the diseases that routinely see off elderly people.

          There’s a Catherine Austin Fitts video where she says that the contents of the vaccines are “all over the place.” “What’s supposed to be in them is not in them, and what is in them is something that’s not supposed to be there.”

          The video in in a zero hedge article. It talks about all the weird stuff that’s in some vaccines. Fitts says that the only way to account for these variations is that there was a quota system: which vaccine was used for which area was based on how much the population was to be reduced.

          Turns out that I can’t post this even with a modified link, but you can probably find it if you do a search for a zerohedge article titled “It’s Global Govt Re-Engineering” – Austin Fitts Warns Fed Actions Are “100% Power Politics… It’s A War.”

          The vaccine discussion starts at about 8 minutes.

        Sadly, this is true. Even if the bulk of the plan as unrolled post 2019 fails, they will continue to push incrementally.

        This is why it is important to educate the next generation.

      Masks only work to block outflow of sneezy, coughing sick people and their snot droplets. Period.

      Oh yeah, those people should be at home isolated.

      Why not ask folks wearing masks, “if you are sick, go home”. If their response is they are not sick, just laugh.

            In fact what is the alleged lie? Alex is not a mad man? He did not say some are trying to drag us back to lockdown and mask mandates? Or that he said it at all. Please enlighten us oh polluted one. Your post is even more poorly constructed than many of mine.

          Thanks for telling us what kind of despicable human piece of excrement you are by aligning yourself w someone like Jones. Was Sandy Hook a hoax?

            Ah look at that and now comes the faux indignation. What a tool. Yet he supports a far worse mass murder from people getting sick from spike protein poisoning. Along with masking mandates and lock downs. Alex said something dumb. He did not tell people to shoot up schools. Saying something did not happen is not a crime shall we apply the same metric to holocaust denial?

    Highly partisan and biased Jan 6 committee issues or else warning to Trump.
    What an absolute joke.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump said on Friday it had given the former president until next week to begin producing documents requested under a subpoena.

    The Jan. 6 committee announced on Oct. 21 that it had sent a subpoena to Trump requiring documents be submitted by Nov. 4 and for him to appear for deposition testimony beginning on or about Nov. 14.

    “We have received correspondence from the former President and his counsel in connection with the Select Committee’s subpoena,” the House Select Committee’s chairperson, Democratic Representative Bennie Thompson, and vice chairperson, Republican Representative Liz Cheney, said in a statement.

    “We have informed the former President’s counsel that he must begin producing records no later than next week and he remains under subpoena for deposition testimony starting on November 14th,” the statement said.

      If I was Trump, I would tell that biased kangaroo court to F off and he will not cooperate at all until a real unbiased committee is in place.

        GLENLIVET 14 acquired!

        As it stands now plans call for this 14 year old single malt to be a U.S. only release, pricing around $55 per 750 ml bottle. You’ll find some official tasting notes below for your consideration. It should be noted as well The Glenlivet has teamed up with the Purple Heart Foundation (supports service members) as a fundraiser tie-in associated with the bottle packaging’s purple color.

        Color – Rich gold
        Nose – Sweet and fruity aromas of honey and apricot jam, with notes of sweet cinnamon bread and subtle sensation of spicy liquorice
        Palate – Succulent flavors of mandarins in syrup, ripe poached pears and chocolate-dipped raisins
        Finish – Incredibly smooth and luscious

        • Anthea November 6, 2022 at 4:43 am #

          @ benr:

          As a soapmaker, I have probably read thousands of descriptions like this–I mean descriptions of fragrance oils. They are never accurate, and sometimes you think the supplier just pulled the description out of their ass. I once bought a bottle of Merlin’s Path fragrance oil that was described as having a lot of woodsy notes, when it mainly smelled of mint. Of course, I also once bought a bottle of ylang-ylang essential oil that smelled like a formalin-fixed cat. (Your very lowest quality ylang-ylang very often smells like a cat box. I can figure out how anyone has the nerve to sell it.) I once bought a Wild Cherry fragrance oil that smelled mainly like amber.

          Long story short: I’d believe Glenlivet’s description when I believe pigs can fly. But that comes from many years of surprise and disappointment when it comes to descriptions.

          • Anthea November 6, 2022 at 5:07 am #

            I actually like ylang-ylang, though I am in the minority on that. Most people find the sweetness too cloying. The scent is relaxing and is a mood-elevator (for real), but is ultra-feminine. Intriguingly, it was once used in men’s hair oils (antimacassar oil) in the 1800s.

            It’s especially nice in hair products like shampoo and conditioner, where most of it gets rinsed out, but you still get the mood-elevating effects. But it’s usually blended with other fragrances to tone it down.

            I could talk about fragrances forever.

        • benr November 6, 2022 at 2:00 pm #

          @anthea

          Tempted to crack the seal and pour out a jigger just to report back whether I get any of the tasting notes.
          Most of the time even when you “open” the taste up with a little water all I get is the whiskey burn and little else.

          Several whiskeys have surprised me how ever with the tasting notes, but they have been very expensive.

    A mainstream Australian news magazine, The Spectator, Aussie version, carrying the information I posted above about the self-constructing and -deconstructing nano-structures (or quantum structures) observed in drops of the Pfizer vaxx by Dr David Nixon, the Australian GP.

    It’s gone mainstream … (is this because our overlords no longer care that we know, because it’s a done deed? Who knows …)

    This is the observation about which Redneck said ‘if you believe that …’ etc. etc.

          I think that most liberals’ opinions are based entirely on their political affiliation, and their political affiliation is based entirely on their (perceived) self-interest. If the Democrats support LGBT rights, abortion, or public-sector labor unions (or whatever), they feel they MUST support all other Democrat policies and beliefs in solidarity. So they support covid mandates, vaccines, public schools, the health-care system, Big Pharma, censorship, and all the rest. They automatically reject all conservative views.

          There is no actual thinking involved, no investigation, no research, no desire for understanding of, say, economics–or anything else. It’s pure “my team versus your team.”

          The reason I say this is because this is what I see in my only remaining liberal friend, a gay man I’ve known since college. We went out to lunch a few days ago. We are uaully careful to avoid discussions of politics, but he mentioned that his sister HATES Nancy Pelosi, and he just can’t understand it. He LOVES her. Why? “She’s got my back.”

          A number of years ago, he mentioned, somewhat apologetically, that his SO was overly vocal about politics because, “He’s worried about his pension and Social Security.” (His SO

            You also notice the “pure (perceived) self-interest at work when it comes to people’s views about inflation and the Fed’s actions to raise interest rates. Everyone with a portfolio and assets in real estate is shitting a brick, regardless of political affiliation. (In case there is anyone here who hasn’t figured this out, raising interest rates will reduce the value of both stock-market investments and real estate.) On the other hand, people who don’t have much of a portfolio (if any) and who don’t own real estate are mainly concerned about inflation. They’d like to be able to buy a house or a car or a brisket.

            Nobody really gives a shit about the macro-economics of the matter. It’s just like all those people who were “house rich” up until 2008, howling about how they’d lost tens of thousands of dollars in (imaginary) equity, and now owed far more on their home than it was worth or were looking at foreclosure. You couldn’t make them understand that the “bubble value” of their home was a pure figment–and maybe they shouldn’t have borrowed against it. (Sad for people who bought their homes at the peak of the housing bubble, though. (Who coulda’ knowed?)

            As for my gay friend and his sister, whom he says is freaking out about interest rates, while he is unconcerned, the difference in their viewpoints is entirely a matter of self-interest. High interest rates are bad for her but will have little effect on him.

            You see this same thing on zerohedge, both in the articles and the comments. Every other “economist” published there is channeling Jim Cramer–completely unconcerned about whether the dollar turns to toilet paper.

          • Paula D November 6, 2022 at 12:54 pm #

            That is the truth, Anthea.

            Back when I used to watch the TV news it used to piss me off when the talking heads would make sad faces when housing prices fell. Oh, the humanity!

            Bastards! Homeless people everywhere, but let’s all cry when housing prices drop to somewhat affordable

            They are definitely from a different class. I remember in the 80s when workers were losing their unions and jobs, my mother said “Soon we’ll all be wording as servants again”.
            And then I read some columnist in the paper (an Emily Oster precursor) say “If wages keep falling we’ll all be able to afford servants again”.

            Well, that said it all.

    The Leader is back on twitter. Trump? No, Ye. He has revealed that one of his handlers has threatened to have him institutionalized and chemically lobotomized – so much so that he’ll never recognized his children again. All unless he publicly repents anent the Jews. Pray for Ye and thank you Elon for at least allowing him back, if only for a day or two.

    • SoftStarLight November 5, 2022 at 4:00 pm #

      It’s crazy what is being done to Ye. He never threatened anyone or incited violence or anything like that. He simply was talking about certain power structures that have been made unassailable and unaccountable. The problem for those he spoke against is that their reaction kinda basically proves his whole point. Just look at how he was so aggressively and so rapidly deplatformed, depersoned, debanked and now its in the dehumanization phase. It’s actually very scary

        I literally only know about Ye in regards to this stuff. I hate rap, hip hop, etc and don’t even know one of his songs. I was interested when he converted but again, I only knew because Anglin was following him.

        But he’s got my interest and respect now though – even though a man of a hostile race and alien culture. He is obviously an individual or rare integrity.

    • Islander November 5, 2022 at 5:12 pm #

      Ye is being made “an example” of.

      The message:

      Don’t mess wit de Joos.

      This message has the same function as torture, per Joost Merloo, The Rape of the Mind.

      Namely, to instill fear in bystanders.

      Fear makes humans mentally malleable.

      I never had any idea who Kanye West was—I don’t watch TV or do social media.

      But now I see that he is doing a major social and political mitzvah for everyone and I stand behind him fully.

    On Rulo’s Plea for Tolerance

    At the same time he thinks we are being genetically altered. Will the mutants tolerate us? No, they will naturally hate and resent us, and the media will do all it can to fan the flames.

    As the mutant on Dr Who said, All norms must die. That is the law.

      Perhaps you should learn to be less smug. In the interview I linked to with Dr Mihalcea, she pointed out that the same graphene structures have been found in raindrops after spraying incidents, and in the unvaccinated.

      Graphene is in our food and in other environmental materials. So, ‘pureblood’ is a bit relative. Note that I don’t wish you any of it – the graphene, that is.

      Rulo didn’t ask for tolerance of coercion, hate or resentment on the part of the vaxxed (who are not a monolithic lumpen bloc with identical views) – he spoke against schadenfreude on the part of those unvaxxed who are enjoying the spectacle of dead and damaged vaxxed people or their psychological distress. I grant you it’s hard not to feel it in the case of coercive or just vocal vaxx pushers, which is a separate category.

      The unvaxxed (who may have been ‘sprayed’ or have ingested graphene-contaminated food, should also pay attention to Dr Mihalcea’s and others’ helpful tips on countering the contaminants. The good news is that it’s easier to detox if you’re not jabbed, but some of the unjabbed may need to detox nevertheless.

      Did you really think the jabs were going to be their only weapon, after decades of planning?

            As said before, I never cared for the delivery over on Infowars, but Jones has been right about 99 percent of the time, and he is an incredibly smart guy.

            Dr. Peter McCullough is on right now.

          • GreenAlba November 5, 2022 at 9:02 pm #

            Thanks, NO – just watched it. It’s the first time I’ve ever watched a whole Alex Jones show! I’ve only seen the snatches that are shown to make him look bad. He does have a bad habit of interrupting because he just can’t hold back, but it was an excellent presentation by Peter McCullough (who is patient enough to tolerate the interruptions).

            Peter McC always packs in reams of information and has papers and authors at his fingertips. That’s also the furthest I’ve seen him go in terms of exposing the psyop – different from his early days.

            So I just ordered two copies of his book! Unfortunately the pub. date for Pierre Kory’s book on ivermectin has been put back from November to January, which is disappointing.

            I agree with McCullough that they’re going to scrub everything they can from the internet, so having books circulating is important.

            It contains some very good stuff, including about the psychology of doctors, and some grim historical information from Kennedy about Japanese Mengele-types who were also brought to the US, along with their German equivalents, after the war, and the effect the whole thing has had on that entire military research sector.

        Alba, thank you for taking the time. Of course there’s no point, in our shared increasing Troubles, for all of us alive now, to relish the suffering of others. Doesn’t help. Catharsis needs to take other forms. The vise tightens on all of us, and it seems all of us will have to go through very bad times.

        Jarek, the man who knows karma yet toys with hatred: “It’s a tool, it can be used for the right cause or the wrong. I celebrate it, pray to it, spread it, for a good cause. It will never hurt me, the blowback, when my tiny flame perishes and suddenly I’m in the Other Side. Surely it won’t. So I’ll keep playing with it.”

        One has to reject hatred and master it, or it will master you. My 2¢.

      • Jarek November 5, 2022 at 10:14 pm #

        I found our brief exchange last week fascinating. You have completely revisioned your past in regards to the Vax, forgetting your months of hardly being able to walk because so shaky. Part of it may be that you are conflating physical and psychological fear. The fear just rose up in you spontaneously along with the shakiness – before you know anything was so drastically wrong with the Vax. Physical in other words.

        But beyond that, dwelling on aches and pains simply isn’t part of your self image. You are what we call “old school”. Perhaps it is more common in Britain or at least parts of it. Over here, you expect the elderly to complain about their condition, especially women. But my mother wasn’t like that at all, so I’ve encountered it before. Dealing with American types of women, her brothers (my uncles) came to appreciate her more and more as the years passed. And the younger Irish women who we hired to help take care of her in her last illness called her very classy. The younger Irish have lost this quality completely.

        Well yes, some of the vaxed are alright, but I was taking the baton from Rulo and talking about where this may end up in the very long term: Two different species. Think that will go well?

        • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 9:21 am #

          I find your atrocious memory and/or wishful thinking fascinating (well, not that much, because I’m used to it). Since your entire post is elaborated from one false premise, the whole thing is ridiculous. Or disingenuous – you choose.

          With apologies to normal people not afflicted with Jarek’s problems (please scroll by, as this is not important to anyone except Jarek), here is the exact timeline from 2021. I will go into all necessary detail to put your nonsense to bed once and for all. Not that this is even the first time I’ve had to clarify the timeline for you. As with a Covidian cultist who can’t see evidence sitting in front of them, your brain just seems to refuse to absorb it.

          Right …

          February 21: First jab, taken fairly reluctantly, following the balancing of two unknown risks.

          May 21: Second jab. Between Feb and May, I saw reports of what were (dishonestly) called ‘very rare blood clots’ in ‘vaccinees’. They didn’t seem to affect my age group and, not being an immunologist, I thought maybe it would be worse, in terms of the infection risk, to be half-vaxxed than not vaxxed at all, a bit like not completing a course of antibiotics.

          Late June/very early July 21:
          English school friend had a heart attack about 2 months after her second jab (she was covid recovered so had natural immunity but was also therefore at a higher risk of an adverse event following ‘vaccination’.
          Now, please listen to this bit carefully: at roughly the same time I realised that the ‘conspiracy theories’ were in fact conspiracy facts, following my first real experience of listening to a number of very persuasive people referred to on here, notably Reiner Fuellmich, Charles Hoffe and Roger Hodkinson.
          Following that realisation and in awareness that I’d taken two irreversible clot shots, and in the knowledge that my friend’s heart attack was most like vax-related, I spent two months suffering psychomatic symtoms of extreme anxiety, including losing a stone the first month due to unrelenting nausea. Note that I went to the doctor, had a few tests, and no physical problems were found.

          Is that bit clear to you now? The clot shots did not make me physically ill (although my future prognisis is obviously unknown). I was feverish during the night after the February one, and had no reaction whatever to the second one (as is apparently the way with AZ).

          During those two months (July and August), as I have already explained, I went through a bit of an epiphany, and dropped off my agnostic perch to re-embrace my earlier beliefs. Being unexpectedly confronted with manifest evil can do that to a person who is spiritually alert. It intrigued me, when I later came across Professor Mark Crispin Miller, that, having been previously of an entirely secular bent, having been brought up in a secular family, his response to finding out what was going on behind covid was to join the Christian church.

          Anyway, I credit that last reversal (as well as just the passage of time) with my eventual emergence from my pretty horrific psychological state to almost total serenity in terms of my own prognosis, but a deal of anxiety about my vaxxed daughters and my grandson. I warned them repeatedly but they made their own decisions.

          If anything above isn’t clear to you, please ask for clarification. Please do not come out with the same nonsense for what must be at least the third or fourth time. And if you think you can contradict anything I said above with my previous utterances on the matter, consider yourself under a challenge to demonstrate such inconsistencies by your own sleuthing efforts.

          Your wish to make this (a) about women, (b) about people of a certain age and (c) about my actually very good memory shows, yet again, your bad faith. And your appalling memory, of course. Not to mention your assumption that you know more about me and my life than I do, which really takes the biscuit.

          I do hope we’re done with this.

          • Jarek November 6, 2022 at 11:59 am #

            What was supposed to be in italics? Not all of that?

            So you were sick with anxiety and that made you so shaky you could hardly walk for months? I suppose it’s possible.

            People often know more about a person than the person themselves – thus the whole psychological industry. You think you know more about me than I do, right?

          • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 3:22 pm #

            No I don’t know more about you – that would be ridiculous. I know nothing whatever about you. I only know what you say. You could be a regular Walter Mitty for all I know.

            I could walk perfectly well, as in my legs were perfectly fine and I didn’t lack strength. The problem was psychological – faced with a long street (or a huge park, as happened on holiday) I felt as if I wouldn’t make it to the other end or the other side. But it was nothing to do with physical ability – it was like a constant panic attack. I felt safer at home. Maybe I subconsciously thought I was going to have a heart attack too at any moment. Possibly it was what agoraphobia feels like – I wouldn’t know.

            Anyway, your suppositions are neither here nor there. I have told you what happened. I don’t make stuff up – and why anyone would want to make something like that up is completely beyond me, but I don’t share your devious mind.

    Another month another more dangerous “variant” if you listen to these fools, we are all going to die anytime now unless well you know the script.

    msn.com/en-us/health/other/the-fast-spreading-new-covid-19-subvariant-xbb-is-part-of-a-new-class-of-omicron/ar-AA133Y9C?ocid=windirect&cvid=f37269632d7444cbb3a6ac2347ed7091

    For the past several months, Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 have dominated COVID-19 cases in the U.S. But now, there’s a class of new COVID subvariants on the rise and one in particular is getting plenty of attention. It’s called XBB—or Gryphon—and there’s a chance it could overtake everything else out there.

    XBB is getting a lot of buzz because it spreads fast—and seems to be able to evade immunity that people have built up from having a previous COVID-19 infection or getting the vaccine, says William Schaffner, M.D., an infectious disease specialist and professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Still, Dr. Schaffner says, “it’s early days and we have a lot to learn.”

    What is the XBB COVID variant?
    XBB is one of the “new class” of Omicron variants that are spreading fast right now, says Thomas Russo, M.D., professor and chief of infectious disease at the University at Buffalo in New York. That includes BQ.1.1, BQ.1, BQ.1.3, BA.2.3.20, and XBB, he says.

    “XBB is a hybrid version of two strains of the BA.2 form of Omicron,” explains Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. It’s currently “spreading efficiently in Singapore,” he adds.

    The variant was first detected in August 2022 in India, and has been detected in more than 17 countries since then, including Australia, Bangladesh, Denmark, India, Japan and the U.S., per Singapore’s Ministry of Health.

    XBB is thought to have the best ability to evade antibody protections of these newly emerged COVID variants, according to a pre-print study from researchers in China. That study said that the new strains of Omicron, and XBB in particular, “are the most antibody-evasive strain tested, far exceeding BA.5 and approaching SARS-CoV-1 level.” (SARS-CoV-1, in case you’re not familiar with it, is the strain of coronavirus that causes SARS, a respiratory virus that can cause severe illness.)

    Meaning, the vaccine and having previously had COVID-19 are not thought to offer the same level of protection against XBB as they have with previous strains of COVID-19. Antibody drugs like Evusheld and bebtelovimab may also not be very effective against XBB, the pre-print study says.

    “These variants are evolving to evade protection,” Dr. Russo says. The bivalent booster is “likely going to be protective against severe disease” with XBB, but will be “imperfect against preventing infection,” Dr. Russo says.

    Don’t panic, though. “When it comes to evasion of vaccine protection, it’s important to recognize that vaccine protection is not all or none,” Dr. Adalja says. “Even with immune-evasive variants, vaccine protection against what matters most—severe disease—remains intact.”

    Dear JHK Admin,
    I can certainly understand how you can interpret Oster’s article as a “following orders” mea culpa, but I don’t understand it that way. Her point is not that “mistakes were made” though some were (and that she is minimising things, but that people acted on the available science and that action & guidance changed as the science based information changed. You will always look at the mRNA vaccines as abominations in the eyes of God, but she doesn’t. She looks at their efficacy and the science attached to them and comes to the conclusion that they have saved lives. It is true that a small number of people have had bad, sometimes very bad reactions to the vaccines, but the vast majority of people have not. And if you look at comparisons of those who dies from Covid–the vast majority of them–in this country–and I mean VAST, are those who have not been vaccinated.

    I think there is a difference between those who know the truth (such as yourself) and those who can acknowledge that they can be wrong about things. There is a difference between KNOWLEDGE and CERTAINTY. You have certainty. It admits of no possibility of being wrong. And many here agree with your take on vaccines, the number of 5000 dead Russian soldiers in Ukraine, the stolen 2020 election, and Paul Pelosi’s sexual preferences being the basis for him getting hammered by a deeply unhinged human being. It is possible that you will turn out to be vindicated in all of these things, but it is highly unlikely, and you and those who support your correlative approach to establishing truth have not actually turned up the causative PROOF you need to make your case.

    Bronowski put it well, back in the 1970s: “Science is a very human form of knowledge. We are always at the brink of the known; we always feel forward for what is to be hoped. Every judgment in science stands on the edge of error and is personal. Science is a tribute to what we can know although we are fallible…” There is no fallibility for you. If there was, you would acknowledge that you have got things wrong and update your model of the world to reflect that new information. But you do not get things wrong and you do not update your model of the world…

    • GreenAlba November 5, 2022 at 9:57 pm #

      I think you really have hustled enough.

      People who got covid and were given early treatment didn’t die. The ones who died were the ones who were killed by medical malfeasance by the withholding of cheap, proven, life-saving drugs and the deliberate adminstering of known dangerous drugs and lethal medical procedures.

      There are 1800 excess deaths in the UK every week now since the poison shots were rolled out. That’s more than two 9/11s every month.

      You should be ashamed of yourself.

      • Slugoon November 6, 2022 at 12:28 am #

        While my number is lower than yours GA it doesn’t matter. There are indeed significant excess deaths occurring here (+10% in the 45-64 age group) and nobody is in the slightest bit interested. Not the government, not their media shills and not the people.

        I’d like to think the disinterest results from the embarrassing realisation that they have all been played but I don’t. They are just morons.

        • hustled enough November 6, 2022 at 1:15 am #

          And Slugoon,
          Would you allow that thee can be a variety of reasons for excess deaths in the UK? Covid? That is one possibility. But you make my point when you close your mind to any other possibility that does not conform with your pre-established narrative. For example, check out, Walsh, Dundas, & McCartney et al, Bearing the burden of austerity: how do changing mortality rates in the UK compare between men and women? Released just this September.

          Maybe Covid has a role to play as you and JHK Admin suggest, but it would be downright FOOLISH to say: This explains the problem–I don’t have to think about this anymore–vaccines are bad! That is just a form of confirmation bias. There can be A LOT of reasons, and your confidence, and GreenAlba’s is MISPLACED. Seizing upon something because it supports your contention doesn’t make it right, it just makes it convenient.

          • Slugoon November 6, 2022 at 3:04 am #

            Yes, I would allow that there could be multiple reasons, my mind is NOT closed and you have made an incorrect accusation. I’d love to know what those reasons are.

            And yet, in the quest to establish that, the government, the media, the populace – all the people who spent years frothing at the mouth about ‘vaccines’ that have not stopped transmission, not stopped people dying – don’t want to know.

            It looks kinda suspicious, don’t you think? And so the only thing many people have left when met with a wall of silence from those who perpetrated all this stuff is that they have something to hide.

          • Slugoon November 6, 2022 at 3:08 am #

            And with regard to ‘vaccines’ I’m not bothered who wants to take one. If they are safe and effective then why would you or anybody else care whether I had one? You made enemies of us because we wouldn’t be pushed around.

          • gustafson.robert.22 November 6, 2022 at 5:30 am #

            There is one main reason. Requires a closed mind to bleat about nuances and other possibly missed causes… No, there’s one significant cause, the simple explanation, the unsafe “vaccine” so many took.

            Leaving aside the shouty capitals, you have shown no evidence that the vaxxes aren’t killing people. Not to mention that in multiple vaxxed countries insurance date show clearly that more people are disabled to the extent of not being able to work since before the vaxx rollout. Data from Germany showed that insurance claims following the jabs were multiple times what the official figures claimed for people who had to visit a doctor or hospital following the jabs.

            Also, how do you explain that in the EU, the rate of ‘vaccination’ matches the rate of excess deaths, e.g. Portugal, which is the most vaxxed country in the EU, also has the most excess deaths (20-something percent).

            People are indeed dying because of the consequences of the lockdowns (as governments knew in advance that they would) – poverty, suicide, missed screenings and other healthcare. Some are being killed through medical malfeasance in hospitals. If you want to know how it’s done there are many, many nurse whistleblowers from US hospitals and there is a heartrending interview which you can find on the UK Column site by searching for ‘Elena’.
            Elena is a Romanian nurse who worked in the NHS for years. Her English partner was 53 when he was taken to hospital with breathing difficulties. He probably needed a steroid and/or antibiotics, but, because he wasn’t ‘vaccinated’, they put him on the Liverpool care pathway, which is a death pathway for those the NHS isn’t going to help. His family’s pleas were ignored. He was refused food and water and injected with midazolam and morphine. The nurse who finished him off injected him with a massive dose (more than they give to death row prisoners) in front of his partner, Elena. There are myriad reports of this happening, which is one reason why many people don’t even want to go near a hospital and prefer to die at home.

            The bulk of the excess deaths are happening at home and they are primarily heart attacks and diabetes. Covid deaths are a tiny minority of the excess deaths, according to the government’s own statistics.

            In Alberta and a growing number of states in the US, the primary cause of death is ‘unknown cause’ – do explain when that has ever happened before.

            I personally don’t believe for one minute that you don’t know what is going on.

          • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 8:03 am #

            Slugoon, I think UKC gave a figure of 1850 for the last week’s excess deaths, but I may have got that wrong. You are following them more closely.

            This is from the Daily Skeptic – and it’s not for the whole of the UK, just England and Wales:

            “In the week ending October 14th, the most recent week for which data are available, 11,699 deaths were registered in England and Wales, which is 1,608 (15.9%) above the five-year average for the week. Of these, 565 mentioned COVID-19 on the death certificate as a contributory cause and 374 mentioned COVID-19 as underlying cause, leaving 1,234 deaths from a different underlying cause.”

            dailysceptic.org/2022/10/25/excess-non-covid-deaths-top-21000-since-the-spring-and-continue-to-rise/

            That’s for the w/e 14/10, so the UKC’s figures would have been for a later week.

            I’m glad you’re monitoring the situation anyway, although UKC feature the excess deaths, directly from the ONS figures, at least once a week.

            Listen to Peter McCullough talking to Alex Jones – Night Owl provided the link.

            He shows graphs clearly demonstrating how soon after the jabs most of the jab deaths occurred. Governments have been cheating and calling these deaths in the unvaccinated, by classifying people as ‘unvaccinated’ for 2 weeks following any jab. There is no end to the corruption. Aided and abetted by people like you.

          • Slugoon November 6, 2022 at 8:45 am #

            GA – UKC is likely ahead of me, my last update was for w/e 14 Oct and I have the same figure as the Daily Skeptic – 1608 excess deaths. I’m glad others are monitoring it too. Hopefully it will eventually reach mainstream attention, although I wonder whether they’ll do what they did with the vaccine reports – just stop publishing them when people start to catch on.

          • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 10:34 am #

            Slugoon – it got mainstream attention in the Telegraph – I cited it on the previous thread. A whole article on the mystery of excess deaths, potentially caused by Anything But The Jab. Not even mentioned in passing.

            It will eventually be like the heart attack articles all over the MSM – there will be a plethora of excess deaths articles, suggesting every possible explanation except That One.

          • hustled enough November 6, 2022 at 4:55 pm #

            Hi Slugoon,
            Yes, it calls for further investigation. The vaccines work–you can still catch the disease, but you are much less likely to die of it if you do vaccinate than if you don’t. And your age at catching it matters a great deal vaccinated or non-vaccinated. I don’t think anyone comfortable with statistics and their use disputes that (e.g., check out “Age Adjusted Mortality Rates as a concept). Could excess deaths be a consequence of bad side effects from the vaccine? Of course, but the further a long we go, the less likely this is proven to be statistically. I am guessing that the lock downs have more to do with this, especially their impact on human well-being.

            And I don’t think it is a wall of silence when medical scientists make the points I am making and they get told that they are wrong, because well, other folks heard from a favourite blog that something helps them when a double-blind study says, um, no, or we are unsure.

            Let me give you an example of what I am talking about here–Ivermectin, wow, remember that? Well, it turns out that double blind studies are mixed on its use. Small movements in any case, not a miracle cure… so, what to make of that? My guess is that it might help some and not others based on a multitude of factors, but if it is placed in the hands of self-medicating individuals with little experience of dosages, it could be bad news… That is where we are now, but at the time, the amplification chamber on this went all in on ivermectin, the cure. That is NOT what the science is saying. So, you might have to make your criticism in the context of people who have tried to explain what the science says, only to have a number of folks including politicians telling them they don’t know what they are talking about, and ignoring what they say in real time…

          • hustled enough November 6, 2022 at 5:04 pm #

            Hi Slugoon,
            “If they are safe and effective then why would you or anybody else care whether I had one? You made enemies of us because we wouldn’t be pushed around.”

            One could make the case for herd immunity. One could make the case that there are folks around who are immune compromised and/or old, etc. One doesn’t want to leave reservoirs of disease around to mutate into other potentially more virulent strains. Why make Polio or smallpox vaccinations mandatory? Because…?

            And I have no idea how I, as in me personally, made you my enemy by thinking being vaccinated is a good idea. I am guessing you will choose to have your children–if you have them–vaccinated against polio, which is making a comeback, because …. some people believe it is OK not to be vaccinated, and that is the basic starting point for polio to infect folks–unimmunised folks.

          • GreenAlba November 7, 2022 at 7:32 am #

            ” One could make the case that there are folks around who are immune compromised […].”

            Everyone who has taken the genetic injection is now immune compromised. That’s why you are not more likely to get covid and die from it if you are vaxxed, as per data from the most highly vaxxed countries. e.g. Portugal, Israel, UK. The UK’s figures are even more egregious because the percentage of people dying of covid when vaxxed is much higher than the percentage of people vaxxed in the first place.

        • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 8:09 am #

          You have proven nothing. Watch Peter McCullough’s interview referred to above for the US figures. Most of what we see is the US data. Listen carefully to his exposition of the VAERS data and its massive under-reporting.

          • hustled enough November 6, 2022 at 5:53 pm #

            Hi GreenAlba,
            You need to look at the data for yourself.
            Feel free to use PM as your filter but, he does not seem to be a “clean” user of data, at least from where I sit. I looked at the Alec Jones interview. So, what does, “In Ontario, they have data that 9 out of 10 people who are dying of Covid-19, are fully vaccinated.” On what data set is this based on? I have been looking for the data. I can’t find it. Can you? The fact is, I am willing to listen to what PM has to say, but when I hear things like this without any reference to where I can find the data he purports to use, I get suspicious.

            As for the data I suggest you review, GreenAlba? Rather than telling me that I “have proven nothing,” you might actually want to LOOK at the data. It is readily available and it is pretty damning for your claims. You can still argue for your point of view, but you will have to do so in a different way to the manner that you and others like JHK Admin argue for it. As for the VAERS data–focusing on correlation rather than causation is not the antidote you are looking for, GreenAlba. To use your phrase–PM has not proved his claim.

            I will say that I listened with interest to the iodine wash that he is suggesting for the nose/throat. That might be helpful stuff. So, thanks to you and others who suggested I listen to the broadcast. That is a potentially useful piece of information.

          • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 8:19 pm #

            “As for the VAERS data–focusing on correlation rather than causation is not the antidote you are looking for, GreenAlba.”

            Why do you think the VAERS site was set up by the CDC? Why does it exist?

            Why do you think the CDS has historically acepted and used the findings of the Harvard study that found under-reporting to the site to be, on average, by a factor of 41?

            Why do you think doctors (who file 86% of VAERS reports) report a vaxx death you claim is not a vaxx death when each page of the website warns them that it’s a federal offence to misreport – and when many doctors have been warned that acknowledging vaxx damage will cost them their jobs?

            Steve Kirsch is offering $1m to anyone who can disprove his estimate of deaths from the covid ‘vaccines’. Why don’t you claim it? No-one else dares to.

            Why do you think that, in 1976, the flu vaccine programme was shut down when deaths following the vaccine reached 34? Why do you think they didn’t just shout ‘correlation is not causation’, as you are now?

          • hustled enough November 6, 2022 at 5:55 pm #

            Again, GreenAlba, look at death rates by level of vaccination or non vaccination in the USA. Non vaccinated first in death numbers, daylight second, then vaccinated–the more vaccinated you are, the less likely you are to die.

          • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 7:58 pm #

            Not true. Check the Peter McCullough interview cited elsewhere. Statistics mostly from the US, although he does reference the neonatal death spike in Scotland and all the athletes/footballers dying of cardiac arrest all over the world. What’s your explanation of those deaths, btw? The healthiest and fittest athletes dropping dead?

            goodsciencing.com/covid/athletes-suffer-cardiac-arrest-die-after-covid-shot/

          • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 8:08 pm #

            A thousand is just the dead ones. Cardiac arrests in athletes since the vaxx rollout out are at almost 1500. Before the rollout out they averaged a couple of dozen a year.

          • hustled enough November 6, 2022 at 11:16 pm #

            Again,
            Claiming 1500 athletes are dying from vaccine related without causative evidence? Not inspiring, GreenAlba.

          • GreenAlba November 7, 2022 at 7:18 am #

            I didn’t claim 1500 athletes had died.

            The names and details of the 990 athletes who have died are on the list, provided by the people all over the world who forward the evidence regarding athletes in their country. You are at liberty to research any individual case and try to prove that the person didn’t drop dead.

            Some of them (around a couple of dozen per year) may have died from other fundamental reasons, because that is the scale of normal deaths of this kind over the years. That leaves you with about 950 excess cardiac arrest deaths to explain in the healthiest and fittest of people.

            Patterns, dear boy, patterns.

But, there is little if any incontrovertible evidence to back the claim–just a version of the USSR’s mythos of the Promise of the Ever Receding Future. You can surmise–using a model of how mRNA vaccines work–and predict the (and JHK Admin’s) future apocalyptic vision–but note that the VAST majority of scientists do to subscribe to this vision. And saying it is GOING to happen is not science–that is religious faith.

            As for the claim–sorry, but even as science is a socially oriented human endeavour which is unsurprising given that human beings do it and we are social creatures in the main, science does have its standards and accepted modes of operation. DO some science folks get into trouble for being naughty? You bet; they are humans after all! But most scientists follow the scientific method and record their results with integrity. They are not politicians. Facts and the proper use of statistics matter…

            I want to point out that somehow, you go from “science as practiced is bogus” to, “But yeah! This scientist is telling me the real deal! I can trust him!” And why is that? Because fellow scientists are saying that he or she is doing science badly? But if that is the case, GreenAlba, how can you trust the people you cite? WHat makes them trustworthy to listen to, apart from the fact that they support your view of things?

            Fraud–yes it exists–and it also gets discovered. But again–wouldn’t your point support being suspicious of science from all sources–including those you like? If it doesn’t what criteria do you use to figure out who to listen to?

      And if you look at comparisons of those who dies from Covid–the vast majority of them–in this country–and I mean VAST, are those who have not been vaccinated.

      This is a flat-out lie and there is nothing to support it, certainly not British data that shows the fake vaccines made no difference.

      Those in positions of power did not ‘act on the science’. A Pfizer exec has just testified to the EU that their experimental mRNA treatments were never tested for preventing transmission yet the incessant messaging was that if you didn’t get vaccinated you were killing grandma, and people were being excoriated and thrown out of their jobs as a result.

      It was obvious to anybody with half a brain who was at risk from C19 within the first month. Not young people who were threatened with the loss of their social life if they didn’t take the experimental shot. Not middle-aged people whose all-cause death rate went up 0.003% and funnily enough has remained that way since the shots were administered. (Yet, we all got locked in our houses anyway, cuz, ‘science’.) It is only the old and fragile that succumb, just like they do to any flu each year.

      No. They acted with emotion and authoritarianism, they deliberately frightened gullible people using no evidence at all, turned people against each other, and destroyed people’s business and their general well-being.

      Nothing about any of this was rooted in ‘science’.

          The US behaved in a way that killed people at rates you don’t see in other parts of the world.

          You got that right. It aligns precisely with the mass hysteria and over-reaction of your country, compared to other parts of the world, to what was a nasty flu. Forced vaccination. Social exclusion. It was all dialled up there to 11 and you’ve paid the price.

          • hustled enough November 6, 2022 at 6:01 pm #

            Actually, compare death rates in Australia with the US. If Australia had the same size population as the US, it would have suffered 100,000 as opposed to the 1,000,000 deaths that the US did.
            And that is something that you and the US will have to explain. Hint: More rational coordination and belief in the science; a willingness tract as a socially cohesive society that understood that “we are all in this together.” Which is not a big thing, here in the US…

          • GreenAlba November 7, 2022 at 7:08 am #

            Australia isn’t a socially cohesive society – it is a dictatorship where the police shot people in the back with rubber bullets for demanding their God-given human rights.

            It also put healthy, non-infectious people in quarantine camps.

            Hi Gustafson,robert.22,
            You weigh what you are given using rational heuristics; you ask questions of the data. Folks here do not do that–they accept the right wing narrative that vaccines are bad and ignore what the majority of normal science practitioners say, many of whom are experts, and take the word of a minority of folks–some of whom also have expertise. I listen to those folks but I weigh what those “mavericks” say against what the overwhelming majority of scientists say AND examine the released data.

            I used that method to determine that global climate disruption is real and human caused. It is only in Hollywood movies where something this large is proven wrong by the work of a misunderstood genius who battles the system to save the world/free the enslaved/find the cure, etc… Why? Because science is a social endeavour conducted on a huge scale with replication being the main goal. That requires a lot of people…

            I am always open to the possibility of being naive, but are you?

          • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 8:29 pm #

          Check out Denis Rancourt (Canadian) who pored over all the US death statistics, not just by state but by county.

          In a real pandemic, you’d expect deaths in one county to spread organically to deaths in another adjacent county. But they didn’t. The boundaries between different death totals rigidly matched county and state lines, reflecting not deaths from a virus, but deaths caused by the measures taken within that administrative area.

          Sorry, but it’s the US and it’s incontrovertible. Also happened in Taiwan. Loads of death reported in China and practically none in Taiwan, which is adjacent and linked constantly by air travel. Taiwan didn’t implement the same ‘health measures’ so they escaped the carnage.

          • hustled enough November 6, 2022 at 6:10 pm #

            GreenAlba,
            You ought to look at the measures that the Taiwanese took to stop the pandemic. Here is a hint: Taiwan is a MUCH more socially cohesive society than the US is, and they did just so much better than we did in combatting Covid…

          • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 8:33 pm #

            Don’t waffle – list the measures the Taiwanese applied which China didn’t apply, China being that well known anarchist society adjacent to socially cohesive Taiwan.

            Hi GreenALba,
            Taiwan & China?

            Check out Dan Xin Huang, China Is Proud of Its Covid Response. But Taiwan’s Was Better. New Republic,
            “From the beginning, China and Taiwan, separated by a mere 81 miles of water, represented two different approaches to quelling the pandemic. Both models have halted contagion, stemmed infections, and allowed much of normal life to resume—notable feats next to the sluggish, chaotic response of many advanced Western democracies.”
            Feel free to read…

            Also, from “Comparison of Estimated Effectiveness of Case-Based and Population-Based Interventions on COVID-19 Containment in Taiwan”
            “In this comparative effectiveness research study, the combination of case-based and population-based interventions (with wide adherence) may explain the success of COVID-19 control in Taiwan in 2020. Either category of interventions alone would have been insufficient, even in a country with an effective public health system and comprehensive contact tracing program. Mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic requires the collaborative effort of public health professionals and the general public. “

        True science sales one question.

        Does the vaxx status make a difference in the mortality rate of people getting Covid?

        So simple.

        Take a huge population, say a million folks. 500000 get the vaxx x3, one booster, and 500000 get no vaxx. The samples already exist. Sort them out, a computer can probably do it in ten seconds, as the shot records already exist.

        Then count them up. How many died on both sides? Heck, how many got Covid on both sides, how many got hospitalized on both sides. Count it up.

        It will present the data, the facts without bias and doubt.

        Which is exactly why the governments will never let it happen!!!

        They want their weapon!!

        • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 11:15 am #

          Here, over 90% of covid deaths are officially logged as being in the vaxxed and nowhere near that percentage of adults are vaxxed (according to ONS statistics but not according to BBC/government lies on TV). Also until two weeks after ‘vaccination’ people are counted as unvaxxed (both in the US and the UK), which means that many in the unvaxxed-dead list are actually vaxxed, skewing it even further.

          Peter McCullough, without mentioning medical homicides at all, said that there were 250,000 deaths reportedly from (or with) covid before the vaxx and there have been 750,000 covid deaths since the vaxx.

          Not an impressive performance, even before the clot/heart deaths etc.

          • JohnAZ November 6, 2022 at 11:40 am #

            GA, good data, but your government or ours, our “protectors”, just ignore the data, repudiate it with lies, and depend in the lemmings just going over the cliff. It is amazing how many of the people I know get the shot, now, because of the feeling of security they get that they are impervious to Covid because that is what the doctors say.

          • hustled enough November 6, 2022 at 11:58 pm #

          • GreenAlba November 7, 2022 at 7:02 am #

            They have. Because they weren’t given appropriate early treatment. That is medical malfeasance and murder or manslaughter, depending on the state of knowledge that the practitioner took the the trouble to acquire. Certainly the people determining the protocols are guilty of mass murder.

            People given appropriate early treatment don’t die.

            Dr Shankara Chetty personally treated 7000 covid patients of all degrees of severity. Not one even went to hospital. Not one died. Not one got long covid.

            The AFLD doctors got similar results.

    • Anthea November 6, 2022 at 6:17 am #

      @ hustled enough:

      The science on both covid and the vaccines (and the masks, for that matter) was known from the get-go. She does not believe vaccines saved lives and never did. Everyone and their dog who actually looked at real science re the vaccines knew that they were NOT safe or effective–and could not possibly be. Everyone who actually looked at the available data knew that covid was a hoax by the end of March of 2020. It is almost inconceivable that she didn’t know this, unless she is either a moron and/or she refused to look at the data and the science. If the latter, she is guilty of criminal negligence.

          Re your correlation-not-causation propaganda, by January 2022 there were already 21,000 post-‘vaccine’ myocarditis cases reported to VAERS which were acknowledged by the CDC to have been caused by the ‘vaccines’.. So why does the CDC accept the causation but you don’t?

          And don’t forget the known under-reporting factor.

          The demographic most affected by post-vaxx myocarditis is 18-25-year olds. Twenty percent of them, according to established myocarditis statistics, will be dead within 5 years, that is by the age of 23-30.

          • hustled enough November 7, 2022 at 12:58 am #

            Hi GreenAlba,
            And were these all fatal? Or serious? Or cleared up with medication? What is the rate of serious side effects as reported by the CDC? Out of millions of shots. I will repeat that one must make an informed decision about whether to take the vaccine.And part of that decision is to weigh the possible but rare side effect of heart inflammation (amongst other possible side effects) against the efficacy of the vaccine to help you survive an attack of the covids… You can get all spooky scary, but the CDC is doing what it is supposed to do, namely, doing its job in asking for evidence to help it make science based determinations.

          • GreenAlba November 7, 2022 at 6:55 am #

            Myocarditis doesn’t ‘clear up’ with medication or anything else. Heart tissue doesn’t heal, like liver tissue. Myocarditis is permanent heart damage.

            The quacksines are demonstrably not safe. And they are demonstrably not effective since recipients are more likely to die of covid than non-recipients, as per the data in all highly quacksinated countries. They are also far more likely to die from non-covid causes, including ‘unknown cause’.

            You have just tried to justify the adminstering of an experimental genetic injection that has given myocarditis to tens of thousands of people in a demographic that is at absolutely no serious risk from covid.

            That itself puts you beyond the pale.

  102. messianicdruid November 5, 2022 at 11:30 pm #

    Good evening, [ CFN ] Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration – whereby those important events of the past, usually associated with someone’s death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, are celebrated with a nice holiday – I thought we could mark this November the fifth, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.

    There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now orders are being shouted into telephones and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there?

    Cruelty and injustice…intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance, coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame? Well certainly there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told…if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War. Terror. Disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you and in your panic, you turned to the now High Chancellor Adam Sutler. He promised you order. He promised you peace. And all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.

    Last night, I sought to end that silence. Last night, I destroyed the Old Bailey to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago, a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice and freedom are more than words – they are perspectives. So if you’ve seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest that you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek…then I ask you to stand beside me, one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament. And together, we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever, be forgot!

      If Guy Fawkes , I’m a bit confused.

      It sounds to me roughly analogous to him saying we should go back to celebrating Confederate Memorial Day.

      • messianicdruid November 6, 2022 at 10:14 am #

        Yes, perhaps she could also explain the justification for the Declaration of Independence [ as a followup ].

        • JohnAZ November 6, 2022 at 10:55 am #

          The Declaration was a statement of an adolescent group of people that had outgrown the monarchial system of Europe, where Papa and Mama government ran the show. A burgeoning group who really gave more to Britain than they got back finally said, it is enough. We will take care of ourselves.

          Additional taxation to pay off the British debt from the French and Indian wars, that was mostly withdrawn aggravated the situation. The Townsend Acts, trying to blockade Boston did not help. The final Act, the Tea Tax cooked the goose. A reticent Continental Congress finally listened to Boston on the Fourth of July, 1776.

      • GreenAlba November 6, 2022 at 12:49 pm #

        I wouldn’t attempt to say anything coherent about the Declaration of Independence. My understanding from some very recent (and superficial) reading – which I posted on here a while ago – is that it’s all a sham anyway and that you all still legally belong to the Crown. All above my pay grade.

        I’m at a total disadvantage, having not seen the film, but the speech is clearly in favour of Catholic Guy Fawkes and suggesting that Parliament needs another, more successful explosion underneath it.

        What we were taught as (young) kids was that we were celebrating a baddie having his evil plot foiled. Certainly that’s what ‘Remember, remember, the fifth of November’ would suggest. Over time, GF seems to have become more of a folk hero, though, mirroring the growing disdain for Parliament and politicians generally and the general disappearance of anti-Catholic sentiment.

        If that’s all rubbish, you have my apologies – one of my many spheres of non-expertise.

        Me giving him too much credit? You must not read my posts toward him much. He makes me laugh a lot with his off the cuff comments and how it shows the unchanging hide bound nature of the folks that are like him. 20 % of our country are hide bound Leftists, they would vote Dem. Even if they were declaring themselves Communistic. It stems from the old union vs. corporation days of the pre Great Depression days. Those days were long, long ago but the political prejudice is still here a hundred years later.

        The Democratic platform was given permission to try out its goodness in 2020 by an electorate fooled by a criminally false media. Times were actually good then in spite of a “pandemic”. Tax and spend was put under a microscope.

        It has failed miserably in controlling the velocity of the economy. The bottom line is that giving people money by rolling the presses with no production of goods and services to counter the dollars equals inflation. The government response to Covid was to give away money to increase spending. Voila, inflation. Then we send out money again and again. Mor inflation. Then we get warnings about inflation. The Dem answer? Send out more money. Something about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Insanity.

        So RR represents an insane philosophy. He is probably a have not who wants the government to adjudicate taking money from the haves and handing it to him. Surprise, just printing money and handing it out makes inflation happen hurting the have nots even more. Good job.

        Even if his mind set borders on insanity, he is entitled to it. Like TV, just turn it off. Myself, I enjoy the banter with him and will really enjoy this Tuesday as his cause comes tumbling down.

    ” Yes, they turned against their own people – the Whites – and now have put Blacks over us.

    You left that part out. ”

    — Jarek

    No , I did not leave that part out.

    That is what this part was about ;

    ” With the endorsement of these same people who never thought the whip would be applied to them. ”

    I view women and Blacks currently the same way I view those middle class White men who , 1945 to 2000 , colluded , again and again , in case after case , to strip their working class White male fellows of agency and autonomy, foolishly thinking it would never apply to them.

    I suspect it must be one of the oldest tricks in the book ,

    Certainly has been the past 500 years ;

    The ruling class says to the peasant , ” Fuck over your fellow peasants , and we will let you join the Country Club . ”

    Then one of two things happens —

    — The foolish peasant learns too late that these people never had any intention of inviting him into the Country Club .

    — The foolish peasant is allowed to join the Country Club , only to learn that he just joined a Satanic Cult.

    And a third thing always happens —

    The peasant himself just gave permission, an endorsement, a mandate , to fuck HIM over.

    If Blacks are stupid , they are stupid in not seeing that they are still Black and will remain so , and they should know that better than anyone.

    If Whites are stupid , it is in refusing to see that now they are the Indians ( natives ) , and the United States has a long and consistent policy of fucking the natives , and they should know that better than anyone else.

    By the way , I have my own major beef with the Catholic Church . It is their foolish refusal to see that one thing the United States does have in common with Merry Old England is that Catholicism is a deviant minority subculture,

    And will remain so —- at least it certainly will remain so as long as we keep sucking their cocks like a bunch of genuine faggots.

    One can be a traitor to the Catholic Church , or a traitor to the United States.

    The proposition that you can serve both masters is ludicrous.

    The 1920’s – 1930’s KKK DID get that part right.

    Now , as to who I would give the vote to ;

    The College of Cardinals.

    I haven’t been offered a red hat , nor received any invitations to the Sistine Chapel lately.

    As for things secular , well, with two parents who are American citizens , and having lived in the United States 40 years , and being as how my country is extinct anyway , I suppose I could acquire the franchise easily enough.

    But I think it is worthless and pointless and a big fucking fraud.

    Microsoft and Disney get exactly what the fuck they want every election , and that is no fucking coincidence.

    In the meantime , it amuses me that the line for people volunteering to be Chief ( collaborator ) s stretches to the moon and back.

    But the line for folks volunteering to be Indians is very short.

    And I suspect one could do a thousand times more good by volunteering to be an Indian , than will ever be accomplished in a million years of voting.

      It always seems to be a problem. A lot of chiefs and not enough indians. I don’t mind being an indian if the chiefs are decent. Honestly between me and you i would prefer to be an indian. The whole keeping it sweet and simple thing. The problem is that when things are chaotic and tenuous everybody feels like they need to be a chief. And in todays world everything feels very chaotic and tenuous except probably for the biggest chiefs of course, and even then some of them seem worried. So we need a very stable and orderly system for many people to agree to be indians i would imagine.

    ” You’re fine with violence against White people. I’m not. You love Western Culture but don’t think it has anything to do with us. ”

    — Jarek

    ” You’re fine with violence against White people. ”

    I have said I would hand out AK – 47’s to 12 – year – olds.

    I did not say I would hand out AK – 47’s to only Black 12 – year -old girls.

    Actually , I think handing out AK – 47’s to 12 – year – olds would be a very bad idea…..

    in a culture ( generally ) where generally all 12 – year – olds are generally treated like Niggers ,

    And all adults generally actually despise the thought of liberty even for other adults.

    I reckon THAT is your real problem ,

    and not some supposed biological inferiority of 12 – year – olds.

    Though biologically inferior Whites , both Nathan Bedford Forrest and Andrew Carnegie began their careers at 12 – years – old.

    I must conclude that they were either Aryan Supermen ,

    Or it is more in how you raise a 12 – year – old ,

    With perhaps a dash of good old fashioned inherited wealth , that the radical Jacobins and Republicans of the past 500 years deny is still operative , except when they themselves want a piece of it.

    You can claim I am too liberal ,

    But to claim I am authoritarian or totalitarian is projection.

    ” You love Western Culture but don’t think it has anything to do with us. ”

    Correct.

    There are at least a dozen reasons I joined the Catholic Church. ( I haven’t ever actually counted them. )

    One reason was because after 30 + years of reading history books I arrived at the conclusion that —- up until 500 years ago at least —

    Western Civilization and the Catholic Church were virtually one and the same thing.

    For example , pretty much the only reason you can read Euclid or Aristotle is because the Catholic Church saw fit to preserve those pagan authors.

    For at least 500 years the folks who make license plates were too busy raping , pillaging , and burning. Bibliophilia and playing nanny to kids was for faggots.

    Speaking of Aristotle and Euclid , I suppose you could throw in a dash of ancient Rome and ancient Greece ,

    But why would you care about that ?

    Presumably you aren’t a Wop or a Greaser ?

    Getting back to things Christian , I never tire of pointing out to Protestants and Atheists who love to quote the Bible so much ,

    That the only Bible they know came out of a place called Hippo , which is in North Africa.

    On the secular side of things , and in your particular case , I don’t tire of pointing out that Francisco Franco was rumored to have Jewish blood , and was a long – time Commander of Moorish troops.

    Hitler’s best buddies of course were the Wop Mousolini, and those little yellow people in Japan.

    White Americans , White Brits , and White French were more interested in filling their own rice bowls , and regime change in Haiti and Laos.

    At least you and I might agree that all their blather about democracy was total bullshit ,

    At least it was until they became suckers and victims of THEIR OWN propaganda.

    • Jarek November 6, 2022 at 2:18 am #

      Ridiculous. Hitler was fighting for the German people – who are White. And for Western Culture in general.

      He respected nobility wherever it was to be found – even in very distant or alien races.

      A little bit more and you’ll be talking like BRH – who thinks that Hitler was taking order from the Mufti. Talk about propaganda infesting the human mind.

      Yes, culture matters. We have never denied that. Yet everyone else denies that biology matters – at all. Who are extremists? You people are. And by you, I mean everyone but us and people like us of other races. There are many of other races who think as we do but we are few in the White race. And that is why Western Culture is doomed unless that changes. Because race is not nothing.

      And never forget: You all have been sold this bill of goods by a People who think as we do about themselves but don’t want anyone else to think that way.

      Christianity never cared about race of course. An otherworldly religion. I respect that. But it should never have involved itself so deeply with the things of this world if it didn’t want to get its hands dirty with the realities of this world.

      So people nodded their heads throughout the ages and kept doing a lot of what they had always been doing: putting their own people first, fighting, drinking, fornicating, etc. The Saints did their thing and there were far more of them. Their path was visible for those who were attracted enough to follow them.

      Now that real Christianity is supposedly back and has supposedly transformed the world (at least to some extent), few people are attracted to real spirituality and the Saints are nowhere seen. I guess there’s no need since this world has become Paradise! Pope Paul Vl raved about opening the Church to the world. Drilling holes in the hull of the Barque of Peter. And Pope John Paul kept on with the rave, never ceasing to talk about the Springtime in the Church even as countless churches closed their door, monastic orders dried up, and seminaries turned against heterosexual candidates. Some springtime, huh?

      Things were better before people lost their natural prejudices. There is great wisdom in prejudice. Only very learned people can ever reason their way back to the wisdom our ancestors naturally had. The pagans had their holy people too, who avoided sex, marriage, and battle. But they had the Wisdom to leave their people alone in regards to these things. Christianity, for all its beauty, did not.

      • Woodchuck November 6, 2022 at 8:56 am #

        Hitler and his cronies can trace their spiritual ancestry as far back as the Jacobins. The trail goes cold from there. The Nazis weren’t fighting for the German people, the entire idea of a “German people” isn’t something easily defined. Where do these German people come from and how long have they been around? When Julius Caesar ruled Rome the Germans were a bunch of tribal savages running around in the woods and wearing horned helmets. The “German Empire”? What the heck is that? Germany isn’t as unified as people think. Back in the 1700’s there was a huge difference between Catholic Bavaria and Protestant North Germany. And the German Catholics and Prots hated each other and wouldn’t join in any fellowship.

        I’ve a great grandfather who was Bavarian all the way, but he had the misfortune to be born into a Lutheran family. In Bavaria, Lutherans were a decided minority. This ancestor learned to fight with his fists early on in life because he got attacked by Catholic boys and had to beat his way out of some bad situations. Back in his times, Lutheran boys didn’t marry Catholic gals because it would cause very awkward family situations. People who hated each other for religious reasons would be thrown together into close contact with other because of family connections. So you simply didn’t marry outside of your family’s religion unless you wished to ditch the family stuff to start with. So my great grandfather had to go north to find a bride up in Lutheran country. Families that lived through “Christian” religious warfare that killed or tortured their ancestors didn’t forgive the other offending Christian tribes that easily. In my opinion, the downfall of the West began long ago with all the warfare going on between so called Christians that hacked each other to pieces over disagreements on what the Bible means.

        We’re engaged in open warfare against Russia because we don’t like the fact that the country represents a form of Christianity that was never torn to pieces by satanic forces. The Eastern Church is still in one piece and getting stronger by the day. Hitler hated the Russians and wanted their territory just as our neocons do. One prediction is this will end in a final battle and satan will lose. If he wins, then the human race dies out. Hitler and his cronies weren’t fighting for Germany, whatever that is, they were fighting for satan.

          “We’re engaged in open warfare against Russia because we don’t like the fact that the country represents a form of Christianity that was never torn to pieces by satanic forces. ”

          That is merely the “facade”/”narrative” reason

          For a classic treatment of the North-Souith divide in “Germany,” see Thomas Mann, Buddenbrooks.

            A lot of Bavarians thought they had much more in common with Austria than with northern Germany. All these regions spoke German, not all of them liked each other.

          • Jarek November 6, 2022 at 12:14 pm #

            One could say the opposite too: That the resource war is just a facade or narrative overlying the spiritual battle. For some one is more real. For others, the other.

            I lived in Bavaria for years.
            I don’t see the relevance of your latest comment to your previous one, which concerns Germans’ hatred of Russian orthodoxy.

            I never saw any evidence of hatred on thd part of either North or South Germans for Russian orthodoxy.
            Or Greek, for that matter.

            For hatred of Russia go to Poland, Ukraine (they hate the jews, the Russians, and the Poles), the 3Balts. Finnland.

            Not Germany. Not Austria. .

            The currently ginned up hatred of Russia is a very recent phenomenon, not a traditional one.

          Well things merge into each other, like the colors do. Life gives us many fuzzy sets. Does that mean they don’t exist? Is red not real because it merges into purple or pink?

          Of course being German is hard to define. And it has changed over the ages. But does that mean it doesn’t exist? I’m dogmatic? Nothing compared to this mentality.

          But people have lost the feeling or they have been convinced by propaganda like that. Accepting tens of millions of third worlders is the real and real quick path to really not existing anymore.

          You see if a river changes its course naturally, that’s one thing. But if it is changed from outside itself, that’s quite another. Persia doesn’t exist anymore, the Muslim conquest was just too alien and complete. Ditto Ancient Egypt, though of course the Copts may provide a little bit on continuity. And some Iranians may still be interested in their ancient heritage. But by and large, those Civilizations ended due to invasion from without, and perhaps inner weakness that was not able to withstand the invasions.

          As Aristotle said, never demand from a subject more clarity than the subject itself affords. None of the humanities can be reduced to Geometrical proofs a la Euclid.

            It doesn’t agree with what you said above though. You’re in disagreement with yourself as well as Christ.

            How can you give yourself to Christ if you don’t even know yourself? Catholicism and Orthodoxy know about the human psyche, Protestantism does not. Salvation is just the merits of Christ “covering” the believer who “buys in” – much like “snow covering a dunghill” (human nature) and the execrable Martin Luther put it. In a word, it’s legalism. You have affirmed this many times. Whereas we seek to actually change from being a dunghill into being something more like the image in which He created us – by his grace.

            Catholics appear to have strange notions of what Protestants believe and vice versa, in my experience.

            “How can you give yourself to Christ if you don’t even know yourself? Catholicism and Orthodoxy know about the human psyche,”

            So, as an orthodox catholic you know about the human psyche and I as a unorthodox [ differing from the correct teaching of catholicism ] do not even understand my own.

            Your presumptions seem monumental until one realizes you only have two labels for almost everything.

          • Anthea November 6, 2022 at 11:47 pm #

            @ Green Alba:

            In America, my observation is that Protestant churches are usually pretty reticent about the specific tenets of their particular denomination and how they differ from those of other Protestant denominations. The reason for this is because if a minister stressed that their denomination opposed divorce, or believe in salvation through grace alone, or whatever, half the congregation would get up and walk out the door.

            My son-in-law (before he converted to Catholicism) was on a Baptist Church committee charged with reviewing the stated beliefs of this particular iteration of the Baptists, and deciding whether to make changes. The committee was surprised to discover that no divorced man could be a deacon. This was problematic because the only male member of the church who had never been divorced was my son-in-law.

            In every Protestant Church I’ve ever attended, it’s always seemed to me that their “doctrines” are kept a secret from the congregation as much as possible.

            The Catholic Church is open about its doctrines–which it can afford to be, as schism is more difficult within the Catholic Church. (The Church has obviously had a few schisms and break-away groups. Back in the 70s, there were churches that refused to accept Vatican II and continued to perform the Tridentine Mass.) Plus Catholics’ level of private conformity to and agreement with Church doctrine has probably never been very high. I once heard a nun disputing with a priest about infant baptism, for example. She didn’t believe in it. It seems to me that Catholics are more argumentative, more likely to dispute established doctrines and norms, and more likely to harbor strange personal beliefs that are a bit off the reservation, than Prostestants.

            The Protestant attitude towards specific beliefs and doctrines has, to me, always seemed to be, “We’re not going to talk about that.” Good manners demand that you not discuss religion, even in church. Now that I think about it, maybe that’s admirable in its own way.

          • GreenAlba November 7, 2022 at 8:10 am #

            My experience is not the same as yours, Anthea, but I don’t share your need to rubbish ‘the other side’. Not least because I don’t even see it as the other side, but merely another facet of my side, unless they say something fundamentally at odds with what I consider to be Christianity.

            I think we have already established that US churches are not necessarily the same as churches elsewhere. But that is also true within the Anglican communion (which is not, strictly speaking, ‘Profestant’, with African churches tending to be much stricter (Biblically speaking) than In England or the English diaspora.

            With regard to people ‘walking out’, it works both ways. People finding their local church or their demonination generally is not adhering to the faith as they see it have historically ‘walked out’ and formed their own denomination or sub-denonimation.

            An example is the Church of Scotland, whose unhappy members created the much stricter Free Church of Scotland (known locally as the Wee Frees). I did hear once that even that wasn’t strict enough for some of them, who allegedly devolved into the Wee Wee Frees, but I don’t know about that.

            I would say the majority of Protestants are very aware of the ecclesiastical rules on divorce – they would certainly find out if they tried to remarry in church. I think the Protestant position is generally that the only legitimate grounds for divorce are adultery (although I’ve never heard anyone claim that a person being abused should actually stay with the abuser – separation is not divorce). I also understand that the consequence of this is that the victim of adultery may remarry in many churches, which is of course not the case with Catholics.

            I am not clear why you think the alleged Catholic position of pretending you believe something and just not complying with it is in some way superior to whatever you think pertains in Protestant churches?

            I agree with the Catholic nun, by the way. My children were baptised as babies but it doesn’t really make any rational sense other than as a ‘welcoming’ ritual. It was even said by the minister that a place has been prepared for the child that they will hopefully take up in the fullness of time by making their own Profession of Faith (generally at age 16 or above, to ensure they are mature enough to know what they believe).

            The idea that God would cast an unbaptised baby into ‘limbo’ (a concept I only learned about from a James Joyce novel) because of its parents’ actions or non-actions is postively ghoulish.

    you mean Biden lied?
    No kidding!
    Somehow, they had to bring it back around to but Trump!

    NY Times report that Biden is exaggerating his economic wins stuns Twitter: ‘Signaling that Biden’s finished’
    Opinion by Gabriel Hays – Yesterday 1:23 PM

    Critics of President Biden got a surprise on Friday, as the New York Times published a report grilling the 46th president for making exaggerations about his successes on the economy.

    Times reporters Alan Rappeport and Jim Tankersley published a piece on Friday titled, “As Elections Approach, Biden Spins His Economic Record,” which claimed that the president’s boasts about his economic achievements were not true.

    The report began by summing up the White House economic spin, “As President Biden and his administration have told it in recent months, America has the fastest-growing economy in the world, his student debt forgiveness program passed Congress by a vote or two, and Social Security benefits became more generous thanks to his leadership.”

    The piece declared, “None of that was accurate.”

    The report also claimed, “The president, who has long been seen as embellishing the truth, has recently overstated his influence on the economy, or omitted key facts.”
    It then mentioned an erroneous claim recently made by the White House on Social Security. Quoting Biden and then correcting him, the Times said, “’On my watch, for the first time in 10 years, seniors are getting an increase in their Social Security checks,’ he declared. The problem: That increase was the result of an automatic cost-of-living increase prompted by the most rapid inflation in 40 years.”

    The piece added, “Mr. Biden had not done anything to make retirees’ checks bigger — it was just a byproduct of the soaring inflation that the president has vowed to combat.”

    The official White House Twitter account made that same claim about Social Security this week, receiving a swift, community-based fact check from Twitter. The White House then took the tweet down.

    Further skewering Biden, the Times stated that although “It is common for presidents to spin economic numbers to improve their pitch to voters,” “the president’s cheerleading has increasingly grown to include exaggerations or misstatements about the economy and his policy record.”

    The piece did insist that Biden’s “economic exaggerations generally pale in comparison to the tales spun by his predecessor, President Donald J. Trump,” though the very fact that a major liberal media outlet would go after Biden on falsehoods, turned heads on social media.

    Conservative journalist Michael Caputo encouraged the paper to go further: “Go ahead say it, NYTimes, do it. You can say it: Biden is a liar.”

    Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., tweeted, “I’m suspicious of NYT’s motivation for printing the truth about Biden. It’s out of character for them. Perhaps blaming him and his gaffs for the midterm results is the beginning of the left’s effort to replace him with a different nominee in 2024.”

    Manhattan Institute senior fellow Brian Riedl appreciated the authors for their honesty in reporting the piece. He tweeted, Credit to @arappeport and @jimtankersley for reporting on the White House’s record of economic misinformation. Its getting worse, and even this article barely scratches of surface of the dishonesty they produce on economic policy, which goes well beyond normal political spin.”

    RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway tweeted, “it’s happening dot gif.”

    Blaze Media CEO Tyler Cardon surmised that Democrats are tired of their president. He wrote, “They’ve seen enough.”

    Former Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller remarked, “Even NYT says Biden is a liar. Vote out the Biden lackeys on Tuesday.”

    Wall Street Journal film critic Kyle Smith sarcastically tweeted, “Surely not.”

    National Review’s Jeff Blehar commented, “don’t blame this poor old man it’s not his fault.”

      “Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., tweeted, “I’m suspicious of NYT’s motivation for printing the truth about Biden. It’s out of character for them. Perhaps blaming him and his gaffs for the midterm results is the beginning of the left’s effort to replace him with a different nominee in 2024.””

      No.

        No matter which party wins on Tuesday, Biden will not make it to 2024. Someone has to enact the 25th sometimes, at the least.

    NYC marathon on the ESPN this morning providing a pleasant respite from the wall to wall football we get here in the states. Always loved the fall marathons from my younger days when I was thin, fit, and could still do that kind of thing (3:06:12 in Nov 1981). Pleasantly surprised that it hasn’t focused on the gimp races at all like most of them do. Maybe some actual runners put a bug in the organizers’ ears and said enough is enough with all that gimp shit. No sign of BeantownBill out there testing the new hip yet and tuning up for Boston in the spring, but I’ll remain alert.

    Little Brazilian dude imploding spectacularly as we speak after going out at an insane pace for the first 30K (~18m). He’s literally fallen down several times and is now collapsed altogether on the road. Fresh roadkill awaiting the carrion crows to come pick at his bones. LOVE IT!

    I’m always reminded of the Steven King short story The Long Walk (if memory serves correct) a few years back when I watch these things, where a group of young men sign on for this winner take all marathon walk for an insanely huge prize, with one slight catch. All of the losers are shot in the head along the way when they fall below a certain pace; 3.5-4.0 mph I think. Last man standing wins it all! That’ll put some hitch in your giddy up!

    • Jarek November 6, 2022 at 1:09 pm #

      Yeah, fuck that gimp shit. And men are faster than chicks, so the emphasis should be on them since they are the best.

      Yean, great novella (not a short story) by King. It’s written in first person and the character describes how excited the women spectators were, giving full tongue in mouth kisses. It’s all or nothing. Death or triumph. If he wins, he’ll be rich and can have any of them.

      Too bad King is no borders, anti-White, Leftist creep. Otherwise, he is a great writer.

      • Disaffected November 6, 2022 at 2:55 pm #

        Novella, eh? I stand corrected. Really thought that was a great concept and kind of an allegory for our current winner take all dystopian world.

        King is always great in my mind for coming up with concepts and developing them, but not so great in finishing them off. It’s like he paints himself into a really elaborate and well-developed corner and then can’t figure out how to creatively resolve it without resorting to cheap tricks with plot devices.

        No word on the Brazilian mentioned above, Daniel Do Nascimento, but it appears that he didn’t die at least. He had been training in Kenya with Kenyans prior to the event, and evidently thought he had acquired their magic juju too. Tragically, not. Kenyans won both the men’s and women’s events, just as they always do.

        • Jarek November 6, 2022 at 3:05 pm #

          Don’t say Kenyan say Kalenjin. This East African lineage produces the great runners, be they Kenyan or Ethiopian or other.

          People though it was because of the altitude they lived at. But others live higher and don’t have it. Perhaps the altitude helped to induce some kind of adaptive specialization if running was important to their lives.

          The people of the Andes have lungs that are 50% bigger than other people’s. The Tibetans live higher and don’t have that. More red blood cells was assumed. Nope – fewer, but the ones they have are amazingly efficient.

  114. Sean Coleman November 6, 2022 at 11:20 am #

    How does science work? Let us have a quick look using just one of a number of examples of outright fraud perpetrated in the name of the ‘science’ of evolotion. The following is from memory (so dates and other facts may be slightly off the mark) based on a video by a woman doctor who did a series about evolution for the evangelical Protestant YT channel Idz Pod Prad. Their reporting on the war in the Ukraine is wild and highly biased (against Russia) but this lady is good.

    Darwin’s Origins Of Species was published in 1959 and translated into German not long afterwards. German Prof of Biology Erns Haeckel was much impressed. He carried out studies of embryos from humans, dogs and other animals and showed that they all followed a very similar development and recapitulated their evolutionary past, passing through a fish stage (among others) where every one of them showed the makings of gills and the same for tails. He published a diagram of his drawings and went on a tour of Germany where his ideas were enthusiastically received. (Similarly Darwin’s ideas conquered Britain very quickly, and he in turn read Haeckel and considered it the greatest proof of evolution.)]#

    in 1875 Vienna University condemned him for fraud and no less than 600 fellow teachers joined in in the censure. Haeckel showed no embarrassment, declaring that hundreds of other lecturers or professors of biology would do the same as he (or were doing so).

    In 1894 a study was carried out (Richardson??) which proved that Haeckel’s drawing were nothing like what could be observed under a microscope and that the embryos of the various species were very different from each other from the very start. This criticism was simply disregarded or not even heard in the fuss over Haeckel.

    The Polish doctor was taught this as a fact during her medical studies. i was taught it myself earlier when I was studying O Level Biology at school in 1973, where it was the main proof. We were allowed to decide if we believed in evolution or not and in a show of hands I was among the one-third of the class to vote it down. I wish I could remember who the others were.

    In 1997 a n intensive study of Haeckel’s work was carried out and proved that it was one of science’s greatest frauds. It was removed from many textbooks but by no means all.

    So a century and a half after Haeckel’s work had been discredited it is still being pushed in many schools and presumablye universities.
    Some leading figures including Dawkins (according to the doctor) continue to advocate iHaeckel’s theory (called by some fancy word ending in -genesis). One admitted he was unaware that it had been proved a hoax. Another, the biggest name I think (I forget it but he is regarded as guru by many) said that he was indeed aware of this but did not consider it all that important.

    Piltdown Man, quite a crude hoax, gained universal acceptance shortly after 1912 yet it took more than 40 years before a qualified examination was carried out (or rather allowed to be carried out) where the fraud was disclosed. A whole generation of school children (including my primary school teacher who had driven a tank through France in 1940 – the drive back was at speed with the Wehrmacht in hot pursuit) were taught it as fact and the theory of evolution along with it.

    Readers here may be aware of my references to the infamous Stanford prison experiment which purported to show that if you give a man a uniform he will turn into a beast. It happened in 1971 but it was only in 2013 that French sociologist and film maker Thibault Le Texier flew to LA to study Zimbardo’s papers. He got two shocks. Firstly, he was the first man to even look at them. Secondly, the experiment did not show what Zimbardo loudly proclaimed it showed at the time. Indeed, it appears that the real subjects were the prisoners rather than the prison guards and it was to see how they would react under conditions of fear, stress, de-personalization, which makes me wonder if it was looking ahead to the present time.

    I could mention global warming here (say the hilarious Cook study wihich ‘proved’ that 96^ of scientists believe in it), or the Andrew Wakefield legend or the shenanigans following the Michaelson-Morley experiment, which was repeated scores of times since the 1880 to prove that the Earth is in motion and failed every time.

    There is no reason to believe anything that ‘Science says’ these days without looking behind the scenes.

    • gustafson.robert.22 November 6, 2022 at 12:00 pm #

      There’s skepticism and critical thinking, and there’s intentional, escapist ignorance. Sure, the contemporary world is utterly imbalanced, but what to throw out? Sure, there are solutions to present problems lying somewhere in human pasts, but which specific historical periods contain those solutions? And, in what disciplines do those solutions reside. Should we throw out all modern science in favor of late medieval science (because we don’t respect many “enlightenment” “achievements” perhaps)?

      No. That’s just stupid. Thing about contempoary science is that it’s largely IRRELEVANT to true contemporary human problems. It’s problem is not that all it’s (contemporary science’s) conclusions are completely riddled with error and prejudice.

      You’ve got to slice and dice the questionable from the solid with contemporary science. Throwing too much out is lazy, too easy. Reality, real solutions are harder.

      • Sean Coleman November 6, 2022 at 1:12 pm #

        It is not clear to me what you are saying. Some concrete examples might help.

        I have little patience with philosophy or logic apart, perhaps, from the impossibility of a thing being both true and false. My thinking here is clear an simple. What is presented as “the science” is completely different from what the underlying research finds. (The value of that research is itself is often (usually?) highly questionable to say the least. I seem to recall that the old editor of the The Lancet said that half of the papers were rubbish, and remember he was involved in the Wakefield affair, on the same side as those who demonized the doctor.)

        A related point is that while some scientists may be objective, where they are not confined to approved research fields like AGW, they rely on the wider culture for context for their work. That culture is rotten with deceit and ignorance and irredeemable.

        So my Polish doctor makes excellent and persuasive points in her videos but accompanies them with other points which are drawn from outside her field and which are wrong. So she may refer to ‘real’ scientific theories such as neliocentrism or the Holocaust without having studied them herself.

        I have been over a lot of this here many times, although not quite all (eg heliocentrism). You mention history and I believe this is a rich field for what I am on about. For example how the prevalent belief that in the Middle Ages the Earth was believed to be flat was a fabrication on the part of writers of the early 19thC, principally Washington Irving (according to Jeffrey Russell). Another: the belief that the great witch hunt was a Medieval thing was another shameless fabrication on the part of writers such as Jules Michelet. And so on and so forth.

        In my experience it does not take much time to lift the curtain and have a look at the ‘facts’, (such as media reports and eye witnesses) and the work of those who have studied the matter in depth.

        I have mentioned the Savile legend many times here and it is amusing. Most know now to say nothing, knowing that to argue would mean they would have to do the research. But the research is minimal, really. They do not want to and prefer to remain in their fantasy. In the Savile case there were hundreds of complaints, thousands (like Covid and everything else the figures are always very vague, as pointed out by Booker and North in their excellent book about health scares Scared To Death). So it should be a piece of cake to present two or three of them, just dip your hand in an pull them out. But here is the problem: when you try to do this you will not find them. it is the same thing with every part of the great collective fantasy.

        In the Savile case all I get is the occasional reference to Jimmy perhaps pinching some girl’s backside. They are surrounded by a crowd of teenagers, all looking at the camera but nobody seemed to notice. Here he was Hiding In Plain Sight again. That is the limit of it for Britain’s Worst Ever Paedophile. (I believe it ruined that girl’s life, by the way.)

      • Sean Coleman November 6, 2022 at 1:28 pm #

        I read your comment over again. I would not disagree.

        • gustafson.robert.22 November 6, 2022 at 3:15 pm #

          Sean, I can appreciate the lack of conclusive evidence for some things, and the tendency of “science” to proclaim narratives as confirmed beyond doubt when that’s not exactly the case. But, for me, evolution, contemporary astronomy, and the basic, usual holocaust narrative are all the best going explanations, the most realistic narratives.

          Meanwhile, I’m critical of much of the global warming narrative, which I consider to be a kind of condensed and fictive expression of a wider array of environmentalist stances, a fictive expression now taken on a life of its own. I also thought Covid was exaggerated bunk from day 1.

          If you’re going to make sweeping assertions criticizing evolutionary theory, common astronomical and holocaust facts, I want to hear robust alternative narratives that sway me, not nitpickings concerning this or that aspect of “scientific history” that involved a bit of b.s., or even a simple “lack of conclusive proof.” I want a new, highly competitive narrative presented…

          • Sean Coleman November 6, 2022 at 4:41 pm #

            Jarek! Help!

            I take back what I said earlier. I now probably don’t agree with what I think you wrote.

            “I’m critical of much of the global warming narrative” The problem word here is ‘much’. You don’t get it.

            “I also thought Covid was exaggerated bunk from day 1.” To be fair you were not here then. There was someone else who shared my opinion, but I can’t remember who. Problem word: exaggerated. Again, you don’t get it.

            “Sweeping assertions” They have to be sweeping if I am saying that everything the average American believes about the world is wrong (a phrase borrowed from Matthew Johnson).

            “Nitpicking” Did you read my post? Ontogenesis (jargon for that embryo nonsense) is central to the theory of evolution. it is the ‘science’ bit that backs it up. I learnt it at school A FULL CENTURY after it was discredted by Haeckel’s university and 600 colleagues and it is still being taught. One example from many. My guess is that everything used to support the theory is either fraudulent or wishful thinking. I could have chosen the geological and fossil record, dating methods, that famous post-WW2 experiment purporting to show that amino acids (and hence life) could be formed from the assumed atmospheric conditions and some ‘primeval soup’. The shortcomings of the :Galapagos finches experiment, the shortcomings and element of trickery of Kettleworth’s 1950s moths study (the moths were either pinned or glued to the tree trunks, but this may just have been to aid presentation: sitll…) The legend of the 1925(?) Tennessee monkey trial. And so on and so on and so on. Does this leave any room for ANY of it to be right?

            Geocentrism, or the Ptelmaic system. By a strange quirk of geometry having the Earth or any of the other planets at the centre of the system with the remaining planets rotating around the Sun, which is itself rotating around the Earth, gives exactly the same result as the Copernican model.

            I could carrying on typing all night, just as I did with the Savile case, where I provided evidence for Doubting Thomases, and then the complaint would be that my posts were too long.

            Einstein himself admitted that the geocentric model was valid, as did Hawking and various other major luminaries (pardon the pun). The only thing was, being that as it may, is that that would be absurd. (I think of Prof Frink in the Simpsons: “But that would mean building a ‘re-biggulator;, which would be frankly ridiculous!”)

            Both models account for the same phenomena, although the geocentric one does it better. The mad bit is (and there is always a mad bit) that Einstein’s theory of relaitivity (1905) was invented (sic) to expalin away the embarrassing results of the the Michaelson Morley experiments which resoutely failed to show the Earth was in motion.

            An Irish scientist (for Heaven’s sake, although I suppose he was Anglo-Irish)j and a foreign (Dutch?) colleague came up witht he idea that the Earth’s motion through the aether had led to a slight reduction in the size of the equipment! Einsstein abolished the aether and instead got his new theory to account for the supposed reduction in size of Michaelson’s equipment. See Robert Sungennis.

            Holocaust. I don’t have time to go into this. A theory that could not make its mind up if the whole thing was planned by Hitler (‘intensionalism’) or was made up as they went along by the local authorities. I don’t know if it has yet been settled. Or how many were gassed at Ausscwitz: 4 million or under 1m. But all agreed that it was the Pope’s fault. He knew but did not lift a finger to save the Jews. where do you get your own ‘commonly held facts’? Misha and the Wolves?

          • gustafson.robert.22 November 6, 2022 at 4:55 pm #

            No, as far as evolution, lack of physical evidence does not disprove a theory about things occuring billions of years previous. And again, I want a concrete alternative description.

            Heliocentrism… I struggle to care about this one. Apparently Einstein didn’t think it very important to publicly equivocate on or there would be 1000 quotes. I assume you say all telescope images are fakes, since there’s a lot of heliocentrism going on in the pics… Silly. The great astronomy hoax… Why on Earth. There is no motivation.

            The Holocaust. People were gassed in camps. A lot of people had hands in it. Hitler wanted to purify his country. I have my sympathies with his aims.

            What is the great revelation you aim for? What is your narrative?

      None of this has anything to do with the evidecne for the existence of and suppression of solid evidence of various kinds and via various forms of canceling and sanctions during the covid op of 2020–now and still going on.

      Stick to the subject.

      Taking a specific situation and “broadening out” to a philosophical discussion of “the definition of science” or “the reception of the theory of evolutoin as translated into German” and other such is a classic technique of red=-herring-fuckery.

        Islander

        When I wrote that I had Hustled’s post above in mind, and that was largely about science. It was not intended to do what you think it should have done.

        Nevertheless it is relevant. When the Covid nonsense started i called it out from the first day. I do not recall anyone else doing this (Jarek congratulated me at the time) at least not anyone who was backing up his opinion with a coherent framework of knowledge and some kind of theory to explain it. I would not have been able to do this if I had not been questioning the broader context and had not spent a lot of time researching it.

        And my point is not philosophical, or at least I don’t think it is. As I said just above I have no interest in the subject.

        Rather I am concerned with what one can rely on as knowledge practically speaking. There are many informed voices speaking on the alternative media about Covid (a good thing) and there is a wide range of opinions. How do you judge who to believe and how far?

        In my own case I resisted the full blown conspiracy path until the early spring of last year in part because I had found during my investigation of the Savile affair and other moral panics that all of the professed conspiracy theorists or truthers I had come were only too willing to believe it.

        The Covid hoax is similar to the AGW one. in both cases they appeal to ‘science’ but it is just a particular official form they have in mind. In the AGW case it is the summary for policy makers from the five-year IPCC reports, and I assume journalists do not even bother to read these either.

        Your comment betrays a childish animus and if you are not careful I shall give you another verbal spanking. Dimwit.

        • Sean Coleman November 6, 2022 at 1:59 pm #

          What I am trying to say is that in March 2020 you did not need a conspiracy theory to explain what was happening. Collective fantasy could do it on its own.

          However there definitely is a conspiracy, one so far-reaching that it is hard to believe.

            Think of playing poker or blackjack. The dealer (in a casino) might have more knowledge of the deck than the players in general. People counting cards (as in blackjack) will have much more probably knowledge than other players. But someone playing with their own marked deck (say in poker) will have inside knowledge.

            Desmet’s is the closest to my own thinking. He says that those at the top pulling the strings are the most deluded of all.something I have long suspected but he uses the term mass formation, which appears to be a little bit different.

            Catherine Austin Fitts and Peter Breggan are furious with him as they say he is exculpating the guilty. CAF sees it purely as a vast criminal conspiracy, and she can back it up with facts and figures. I see their point but I do not think they are able to understand Desmet’s point. The latter places blame on the masses who chose to collaborate in the ‘mass formation’.

            This is not aimed at you, Islander, and I apologize if I insulted you just now, but at anyone who may be interested in reading it, possibly nobody.

            In Ireland in the first decade of the millenium we had an enormous property bubble. there was a lot of talk in the weblogs about ‘moral hazard’. TheCAF view is that those who bought into the bubble were victims but others see it differently.

            Now, looking at the current mess and the nonsense about mutual forgiveness we need to try to work out how much our leaders are to blame. Of course, they are to blame anyway, for even if they were unwitting that is no excuse since they had a duty to find out.

            There is a vast conspiracy (I never thought I would see myself saying this) and yet there is an equally vast delusion about everything that matters, about the entire Western world view.

            And there are countless theories about what is happening or rather theories about limited areas of the whole.

            So, taking the conspiracy, who are the arch-conspirators and what do they want|? There are different answers. And Russia and China? Same thing, eg between James Corbett’s view that this is just what power does and say Matthew Johnson’s. MJ sees Russia and China as being on the right side, as I understand it.

            Johnson argues that people here simply do not understand what is happening in those countries.

            So who, if either, is right? We need to make use of the internet to have a go at working this out before it is censored beyond usefulness.

    From the Jewish perspective, every time Christ deviated from traditional understand, he erred badly. The traditional and popular understanding was how to survive as a People in a hostile world – this World. So it was willing to get its hands dirty and talk about fertility, marriage, war, crops, etc.

    Christ was all about salvation for the individual. The Jews had this too – for those that were interested. Christianity put it first and foremost, often with very hypocritical consequences since most people aren’t that interested.

    Was Christ wrong? Of course not. He said to follow the scriptures and no doubt accepted much of the practical wisdom therein. But those that came later tried to make a popular Culture out of what was really meant for just a few. We don’t know what Christ thought about everything. He never said and/or nobody bothered to record it. It’s hard to believe that he didn’t say more than the corpus of stories repeated in the Gospels four times. But that’s all we have and Christians think that’s enough apparently. They’re wrong of course.

    ” You love Western Culture but don’t think it has anything to do with us. ”

    Correct.

    Kesa, above.

    Imagine going to China and telling the people there they had nothing to do with Chinese culture. Imagine going to an Indian reservation and telling them that you are just as Indian as they are.

    White pusillanimity has emboldened non-Whites as per the above creating legions of arrogant darkies. The proof of the validity of our culture is that anyone can take it up (of course if they can’t, it our fault or “racism”). And the perfection of this universal culture will be for us to disappear all together since we are not perfect enough for our perfect culture.

    Our three liberal trolls are different in writing styles but lockstep in group think.
    The weird thing is that “liberal” used to mean something completely different.
    Free speech was liberal, freedom of the press was liberal, critical thinking was liberal.
    Back in the 50s everyone thought it was right to withdraw the polio vaccine when it killed 5 children and crippled 50.
    In the 60s they withdrew the RSV vaccine after only 2 children were killed.
    In the 70s they withdrew the swine flu vaccine after 25 deaths and multiple neurological problems.
    But the Hustler, the wordiest of our liberal trolls, announced above that killing people is not enough to pull an experimental vaccine, because, you see, as a percentage of those who were injected, it’s not that many.

    It’s more than died from covid, as a percentage, but not enough to stop the profit-taking of Pfizer.
    Oh, and liberals used to be against corporate crime, also.

    War is peace, men are women and censorship is democracy. Those are the new liberal mantra.

    No wonder they are losing so many voters that they have to rig the voting system to steal elections.

    No sane person would go along with the new mantras.

      There are four. Three of them are the same person (Cargill) and have the same writing style, even though they occasionally try to mix it up.

      • Sean Coleman November 6, 2022 at 2:33 pm #

        I used to post on a weblog which I won’t name where there was one madman who posted under scores of aliases. He used to assume different mannerisms for all of them but could not carry it off, obviously. When I twigged that one or two of them were the same man others of his characters would step forward and vouch for their authenticity. It is not so much that they delight in deceit as that it is so very important for them to fool others.

        • Night Owl November 6, 2022 at 2:46 pm #

          Mmmm. Anyone even moderately gifted in language can sort Cargill’s sockpuppets.

          • Sean Coleman November 6, 2022 at 3:36 pm #

            Yes, but I meant that he could not then carry off a conversation with an outsider like myself (most of the time he was talking to himself as he was responsible for more than 80% of the posts), he could not develop an argument from multiple perspectives. He would just write a short, vague reply and leave it at that.

            He must have kept a record for each character. One of them would always use the ampersand (&) instead of ‘and’ while another had an odd wat with full stops (periods).

          Getting away with lying to people is a big narcissistic trait. Thus the term “duper’s delight” – the big smile on their faces after they think they’ve successfully duped someone.

          • MaryQueen November 6, 2022 at 7:49 pm #

            Also referred to as “narcissistic supply” because they literally get off on it. You can see the joy in Jarek’s comments, for example, after he thinks he has convincingly lied about other commenters here.

            Excellent point.

      LOL yeah this is a good one! This Fetterman phenomenon is both filled with hilarity and sadness.

        These 2 then plan to create new Vaccines to fight this new bat viruses which have now GAINED the power to infect humans. This is what is known as Gain-of-Function Research.

        This doozy of a Government project is called “Analyzing the Potential for Future Bat Coronavirus Emergence.”

    There are all sorts of lists detailing Barry’s many failures and or crimes. Took me what two minutes to find the following from various sites including Liberal ones.

    Barack Obama Is A War Criminal
    harvardpolitics.com/obama-war-criminal

    heritage.org/political-process/commentary/obamas-scandal-free-administration-myth

    thoughtco.com/list-of-obama-scandals-and-controversies-3367635

    theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/05/the-biggest-obama-scandals-are-proven-and-ignored/275960/

    Solyndra: The green energy scandal wrote “crony capitalism” into the American political lexicon, cutting corners and wasting $535 million of tax dollars.

    Iran nuclear deal and ransom payment: Pushed with lies and media manipulation, Mr. Obama allowed Iran to pursue nuclear power, paying it billions of taxpayer dollars to use for worldwide terrorism.

    Operation Fast and Furious: Mr. Obama’s insane program to use American gun dealers and straw purchasers to arm Mexican drug lords so the administration could complain about lax regulations on American gun sales to restrict American Second Amendment constitutional rights. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jamie Zapata, plus hundreds of Mexican citizens, died as a result of the blotched operation. Attorney General Eric Holder escaped charges claiming he didn’t know what his subordinates were doing.

    Spying on journalists: AP reporters and James Rosen of Fox News, etc.

    The IRS scandal: Selective targeting of conservative groups, i.e., pro-life and Tea Party groups, by a politicized IRS, denying tax exempt status. IRS officials lied allowing scandal kingpin Lois Lerner to retire taxpayer funded.

    Hillary Clinton’s secret server: Subverting rules, she was guilty of sending classified email on her home-brew server, and Mr. Obama knew about it.

    The Pigford scandal: Abuse of a program using taxpayer dollars meant to compensate minority farmers for racial discrimination exploded.

    NSA spying scandal: Edward Snowden’s pilfering of sensitive National Security Agency data damaged national security, creating diplomatic problems and AG Eric Holder thanked Mr. Snowden for performing a public service by exposing surveillance programs the Obama administration didn’t want to talk about.

    Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl: He left his post, went over to the Taliban, soldiers died looking for him, yet Mr. Obama traded five high profile Taliban prisoners for him, flouting the law and lying.

    • Night Owl November 7, 2022 at 3:42 am #

      Most moderate left-wingers and/or centrists like myself agree that Obama is a war criminal for his secret drone strikes alone. This used to be quite the hot topic over at NPR, etc.

      The long list of seditious acts has been posted many times, but another that I recall was his commitment to the replacement of a free press with a centrally controlled press —

      his administration prosecuted more whistleblowers than ALL previous admins combined.

      Then we have Spygate, which spawned the Mueller fraud, Ukraine fraud.

      I could go on just off the top of my head, but there is no point.

      Well that isn’t really censorship actually. If an individual is impersonating another individual and appropriating their name and identity that could create liability issues. According to this he is even saying impersonation is allowed as long as it is labeled parody which simply lets people who may otherwise be confused know that it is not the actual person being impersonated.

      And too, Kathy Griffin is wretched and uncouth. Being that you hate celebrities I can’t imagine you would sympathize with this one. And she has used her deceased mother’s account to get back on twitter and rage tweet at Elon calling him an asshole. And this is over $8 so its getting to be really trifling.

        Libel, slander, and incitement to violence have historically been illegal, and the only exceptions to free speech. Impersonation for the purposes of mockery/lies falls under libel.

            Your mind runs on very simplistic binary tracks. You’re simply unable to have any opinion with even a shade of nuance to it.

    MQ…I’ll avoid Twitter and post my rantings and ravings on CFN, thank you. Musk’s ego has gotten the better of him and his crusade to make Twitter straighten up and fly right is craziness. At least Donny Trump had the wherewithall to establish his own blog to support what will obviously be a 2024 presidential run. I like Jimbo’s blog because it has a lot of bright posters who don’t always think like I do. That makes for healthy and worthwhile reading.

      I watched the first 23 seconds. This fuck’s quote, until then: “That’s not freedom — telling women what they can do with their bodies.”

      You mean like his ilk telling men AND women — the unjabbed — what they have to do with their own bodies?

      Your ridiculous belief systems have zero to do with Mr Kennedy from the 60’s.
      You would call him a conservative with a side of all sorts of vile names.

        The Kennedys should be a shining light. You never had it so good.

          Right.
          You have already said the American Democrat party is too far to the right for you.

    JohnAZ, tusconspur

    TS, you’ve previously agreed the election wasn’t stolen.
    No matter how much you despise the Messenger, listen to him anyway. I’d appreciate your critique(s).

        Why don’t you just critique the clip you fucking moron? All the ‘frothing’ is coming from your impotent wailings.

    Was there ever a doubt?

    That Atlantic article got ratioed so badly on Twitter that they deleted the original post and reposted and it got ratioed again. I wonder if they’re figuring out how much the vast majority of America despises them. Seriously…Emily Oster and her band of merde people need to be Nuremburged and pronto.

    I am not vaccinated against so called covid19. I love living natural and taking care of myself as much as possible. I transformed covid restrictions to make better myself. I joined gym, started researching healthy ways to live and researched what is behind this covid nonsense thanks to lots of free time that they give us by ordering to stay at home. It really opened my eyes and I don’t see the world as I see in 2019. Ivermectin is bashed even though doctors have proven that it works.
