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!
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
glowing bright blue there
Non-compliance is all that is needed.
Violence is exactly what they are encouraging. The playbook is as old as humanity.
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.*
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.
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. 🙂
Thanks, CBeard, for your “contribution.”
I await your explanation of what I might have thought I was doing.
I am all ears!!
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.
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.
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!
Yes! Schiff!! I saw this too. I was floored.
Definitely not in Kansas anymore
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.
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.
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.”
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”.
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.
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.
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”.
“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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
What was encouraging was to see the responses to foolish Emily’s sickeningly transparent article.
So many people, I did not realize I had so many allies, so many people with me crying out for vengeance.
We are coming for them, and will will not stop.
Well said, Beryl.
The pandemic was great for non descript, wannabe tyrants like Governors Whitmer and Newsome.
These and other Faucists who administer over the US empire of lies need to be held accountable.
“Faucists”
Stealing this one, PA 🙂
Steal away bud
“The part she left out of her petition for pandemic amnesty is: we were only following orders.”
Ah, the Adolf Eichmann excuse – that’s what all good Nazis use when having to give account for the evil inside them.
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.
Indeed, as soon as the name of one of those many psychopaths who outed themselves during the BS is fired onto my ceramic shit list.
Psychopath forgiven of course BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN !
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.
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.
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.
dont forget trump on Tv that morning handing it all over to Fauci !
Trump looked like he was in a hostage situation.
Blink once for yes and twice for no.
I might say a prayer for God to have mercy on their souls.
“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
Exactly, let God take his revenge. My revenge will be to live a long, healthy and prosperous life, Amen.
Although, I think they should each and everyone go to prison for a long time…..
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.
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.
For God’s sake, read the Psalms.
That is all any of them deserve from any of us. Forgiveness for their crimes is the province of God alone.
Indeed. These people think they can just flip us off with a simple “sorry” and all is forgiven. Nothing doing.
there’s no sorry in the whole thing
“I will forgive people like Oster, Gates, Schwab, Fauci and Bourla after they have been hanged for crimes against humanity.”
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.
“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.
THIS!
psychopathy is animal demigod phenomena. Forgiveness is to a human what forgetfullness is to an animal.
choose wisely
Right on the RICO statutes.
This is crime syndicate where billions $$$ were made.
Follow the money.
Too bad we don’t have a functioning FBI and Executive branch.
I think Trump will need to name all the Americans he will appoint as AG and his cabinet and inner circle PRIOR to anyone supporting him again.
Probably the most important thing the American people have lost in the past five years isn’t our democracy but TRUST.
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.”)
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.
Sorry, never happen. Too many. Individuals must make the decision to take out one or two at a time. Unless that happens, there will be IMHO nothing.
Those behind the pharmacaust need to be dragged by their heels into the town square (build one if need be) and shot in the fucken head. Dump their worthless carcasses in the nearest landfill for the worms, the crows and whatever else might come along.
They’re publicly forgiving themselves.
Such forgiveness is the newest virtue signal!
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.
‘They’re publicly forgiving themselves.
Such forgiveness is the newest virtue signal!’
Sums up a lot of it.
Same shit, different day.
Completely agree.
And it comports with who they’re talking to in ALL of their communications. Themselves!!
Their Democracy – Our Republic.
#FJB
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
I’ve noticed lately that masks are showing up again in quite large numbers, yet here the ‘Covid rate’ is practically nil. Then someone clued me in……They’re afraid of the flu.
Sheeesh
I was wondering the same thing.
Especially when they are walking down the street alone or driving alone.
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.
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”.
The reaction is priceless every time.
I like it! You’ve inspired me.
At least David Hogg was honest: I’m keeping my mask on because its shows which side you’re on.
Also I might add it hides his obnoxious face, perhaps protecting him from blows.
This is why I say that most people are stupid. They can be trained to jump through hoops, but critical thinking requires intelligence as a precursor.
There is no other explanation for this behavior.
That being said (and I agree), defend your belief in everyone getting a right to vote.
I have never stated any such belief. You will have to be more detailed, and provide some evidence.
So I’ll ask you what you asked me recently: Who should get to vote?
Remember how when Woody talked about only the qualified getting to vote, you protested by saying, that would eliminate the majority?
If you remember and are willing to admit it I ask: What of it? If people aren’t worthy of the franchise, they shouldn’t have it.
(Legally verifiable) citizens of whatever country is in question should get to vote.
Even though most people are stupid (your statement above)?
You’re a status quo junky. Condition terminal. A fatal case of normalcy bias.
Yes. Citizens get to vote.
The morons are afraid of the ‘monkey pox.’ !!!!
Recall that one aspect of the WEF/Klaus Schwab plan is to bring fear to such a high level that the peasants will do exactly what they’re told. Expect a series of bullshit ‘plandemics’ in the future to stimulate more fear.
yes, thank you. I was thinking of that today too.
wtf happened to monkeypox?
have the gay orgies abated, or what? lol
Oh yes, the flu that totally disappeared in the Covid scam, has now reappeared and they are telling everyone to get their flu shot. Before Covid, the number of 60,000 flu deaths in 2019 sticks in my memory, but none in 2000-22. Those amazing medical magicians are truly beyond belief. Monkeypox has fallen flat, so they must have another more frightening malady for their next pandemic.Wait for it!
I turned away from some after 9/11 – their glee at America getting hit was too much. Others with the rise of Obama. Their cult like adulations was too much.
America hit itself.
Do elaborate…
Much like the bully grabbing the arm or the smaller kid and smacking the smaller kid with his own arm.
What? I’m not doing anything, stop hitting yourself.
Bah humbug.
Covid lockdowns never happened.
That’s a hoax created by MAGA Republicans.
They are already clamoring to bring back the masks and restrictions.
Expect to see this again after the elections.
Notice zero Republicans are running against anything having to do with the scamdemic.
Controlled opposition gonna stay controlled.
Kari Lake in Arizona is talking about it and has already said if she is governor no children will be mandated to take the Covid jab in order to attend school.
Which is probably why Liz Cheney and Hillary Clinton have taken out the knives against her.
Yes, Kari is a special political soul. So refreshing and articulate. I can’t watch her tear at her opponents and the media and not laugh fit to split.
Love Kari
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.
“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.
Would these be bad outcomes ….
….for anyone ?
I suspect not.
I notice how many here want prison or executions for these — how many thousands ? — of people .
Since when do prison gaurds and executioners ( non – productive occupations ) work for minimum wage ?
So their solution to this Tammany Hall patronage system ,
Is a ten fold or hundred fold increase in this Tammany Hall patronage system.
@ KesaAnna:
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.
“Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” ? Winston S. Churchill
and perfection is the enemy of good.
IMO, that statement by Churchill was an admission that government is evil; all government, everywhere.
by one of the most evil fuckers that ever walked the earth
Rules, OK, but NO RULERS
Yes, he admitted in his memoirs that the war against Germany was because they refused to give up Sovereignty and join the coming economic New World Order.
The same with Russia. That’s why they are making war against Russia.
Another saying I dislike (that the libs spout nonstop): “perfection is the enemy of the good.”
Because they use it as an excuse to never institute the changes they promise. Over and over.
perfection–
I use it all the time, to permit myself to stop working on some or other project I detested.
Good enough, and done.
As Tucker said last night, depends on what kind of Democracy. The Soviet kind? Night Owl’s or AOC’s kind where every moron gets to vote? Or that of the Founding Fathers where only men of good repute get to vote? Or my kind where the qualified alone would get to vote?
Who determines who is too moronic to vote?
You?
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.
Yes, they turned against their own people – the Whites – and now have put Blacks over us.
You left that part out.
I hope Ms Oster’s disgusting plea to forgive deliberate mass murderers indicates they see the hang ropes of justice coming for them.
At the very least, it’s an admission by a major news outlet that they lied and were wrong.
But it’s barely a start for what needs to happen.
“We didn’t know…” More gaslighting. Let’s call it what it is; more lies.
Retribution, if it comes, will be terrible.
I think retribution is already here. Too many people are dying and at wholly unthinkable ages and levels of health. It won’t be covered in the “media”, so it will be quiet, no fire and brimstone. But it is here.
Mrs Saj, it’s not retribution when the trusting ordinary people are the ones suffering. It’s retribution when the criminals in charge are held accountable and punished.
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.
Germany faced a similar problem post WW2 . How far down the chain do you go with punishment?
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.
Once again, the proven mass killer (murderer) is government. No virus can out-kill government and its toadies.
“right for the wrong reasons,”
And with those few words the stupid arrogant bitch shows she’s learned nothing.
just like scott adams claiming no one could have found enough information to contraindicate the vacks. simply not true. i have the dated downloads and screen shots to prove it.
how about the as-yet unrealized harm to our ability to reproduce and harm to future generations?
how about the whole euthanize, trans self mutilate, “free love”, white guild, no more happy children for you efforts to kill western civilization?
these mooks have not seen anything yet. sow the wind, assholes, but the whirlwind is coming. oh yes.
Scott Adams is a perennial hustler concerned only about his personal wealth.
Yep. Tried to pretend he was not an establishment con man but it all came out in the wash.
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.
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.
Elimination of the domination of academia in our government is a first priority.
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!
“the World is dumber than we thought.”
That was the big shocker for me. I had no idea that many people are that stupid.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You are firing on point these days
Take one measure of high iq, reduce influence of programmed mis information, let rest to contemplate objective truth and eliminate all vestiges of former beliefs, and
…
Voila, a fully functioning, aware (dare say, woke?) Person effortlessly seeing all, easily navigating the 24/7 flood of propaganda, finally making the right choices every fucking time that lead to personal wealth and self fulfillment.
Feels good, man
Glad you don’t suffer from self-esteem problems, Mic.
“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
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.”
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.
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!
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.
Transparency would help We the People out a lot right about now!
@Pranah – …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…..I concluded this without studying at all.
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.
Clott Adams
Lol… I’m glad I didn’t just take a sip when I read ‘Clott Adams’
Join him for the Simultaneous Cardiac Episode.
Same guy that said Antifa was no threat to anyone’s safety and they were more like civil war re-enactors. I still enjoy Dilbert but his pseudo-intellectual babble makes him a fop.
I knew this stuff in March/April 2020.
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.
@ 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.
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 was the end of May, Memorial Day.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
Learn to code, Twitter dudes!
Twitter is a reflection of its environs. What can you expect with having an HQ in San Francsico?
Move the HQ to Oklahoma or Nebraska. Some podunk town.
learn to mine coal, we are going need that
Now I would love to see a bunch of twenty something wokesters mine for coal.
Well, that’s pretty cruel of me. Most would die the first day.
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.
Do ya think Oster is trying to save her job?
The 42 year old Ms Oster is comfortably seated in a university economics chair funded by Goldman Sachs. It would take a lot to blast her ass into a world where consequences follow upon criminal acts.
Stellar, JohnAZ. That observation is top-notch.
Will he let Trump back on? He should have been reinstated the very first day. A very, very bad sign.
I find it despicable that left-wing nut jobs applauded when Twitter kicked off a sitting President. Anyone occupying the office has a need and right to communicate with the American people.
I would never deny Joe Biden the means to communicate important ideas to the population. (Don’t need to, his moth eaten brain beat me to it.)
Yes, I feel the same. The two sides are very different in this regard.
Musk is paying all these Twerps through February.
That’s plenty of time for them to find new jobs or settle into their parents basements.
Read David Graeber’s 2018 book ‘Bullshit Jobs’.
How did the UK end up sending 50% of 18-year olds to university? It made no sense.
You think he does, but keep a close watch on Twitter. I still don’t see any major reinstatements (like Trump for example, or Graham Linehan).
Elon has started billing himself as Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator.
Okay, I think I get it Jim. You don’t want me providing links. I won’t do it again.
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.
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.
How can they get away with that now? I hope Dr. McCullough turns around and sues them for libel, loss of professional status and anything else he can.
The powers that be are the bad guys. The government needs to be ripped apart to undo the power bias that exists now.
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.”
The Court of Last Resort is Woke too. There will be no Nuremberg 2.0 for Vaxocrats.
Only War will throw them down at this point – the extension of politics by other means.
That will take time. I think they hope to make a clean getaway by the time a lawsuit hits the courts.
Dr. Pierre Kory and other doctors are suing Fauci and others.
I’d like to support the legal effort but do not see an option to donate to that at the FLCCC website
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.
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.
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.
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’m now 72 years old. When I was a kid, my doctor made house calls.
In 1977 I was living in West Los Angeles.
On a Saturday morning my son, 4, was playing outside and he ran in the house screaming, with a trail of blood, saying that he had dropped a manhole cover on his toe.
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!”
As Tickerguy (Market Ticker) says, corporate medicine is a parasite sucking up 20% of our economy- such a bloated tick is bound to kill the host.

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!
Mrs. SAJ
Thanks SAJ.
Please keep us up to date of this topic.
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.
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.
Hehehe.
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.
Thank you, Anthea, for the info!
So the car insurance stats reinforce the life insurance statistics.
So, when do the health insurance (doctor visits, hospitalization) stats get correlated?
(Prior thanks to Mary for the big heads up on hospital utilization. They were turning people away and canceling treatment appointments to keep those numbers down.)
Ah shoot, I just now saw mrs. saj’s on funeral home autopsies.
Man, the numbers are sure starting to come in now. This is a live, large-scale study for sure.
Oh wait!
“The media is dead, a walking zombie with remnants of electrical impulses that enable it to lurch around as if it were still alive.”
So THAT’S what the 5G, polygels, and graphene are for.
Corpsicles. Like lobotomized felons linked by a control box to a live operator as remote control workers.
A sentence custom-fit to the occasion, I’d say. Birx Knew.
Except that no one is studying it.
It is just a bunch of statistics that some people are watching, but there is no official body collecting and correlating them.
Anthea,
Who do you think you’re kidding? The phenomenon you’re citing is due to the Saint George Floyd / BLM police defunding hustle. Cops stopped enforcing the law, it’s that simple.
Wow thanks for listening in and then translating for us.
This isn’t dry to me at all, it’s VERY interesting. What if all the life insurance companies are experiencing the same thing? What does that tell us?
For one thing, that what we’ve been saying for 2 years is correct.
Dry Toast, Incipient firestorm, whatever.
I would have assumed the Elite had a plan to pay them off. They seemed to have thought of everything else. But if so, why are they waiting? Are the companies going to have to go to court? That will tell everyone that something is up.
Informative post Mrs. SAJ. Thanks.
Thank you Jim !

Hemp Rope.
Yes. Quick trials followed by hangings!
Hemp Rope Nationalism
Oster at least seems to be a wokester (did I spell that right?) who will admit she was wrong…which should be taken into consideration at her sentencing.
No it shouldn’t. Had these fascist fucks succeeded with their initial push, she would never have uttered a peep.
This is all for show.
Oster didn’t admit she was wrong. She absolved herself (or is trying to) by saying she didn’t have all the facts.
Indeed, which fits with malignant narcissistic psychology. The professionals that the government and various NGOs and media outlets employed used this psychology throughout the entire charade.
I grew up around it, which is probably why it as so easy for me to see it from day one.
Only when the school closing affected her children did she question them. The pain inflicted on children who didn’t have to parents or resources hers did, was minimized and dismissed.
the parents (spell check strikes again)
Oster must be saying to all her friends, in a whiny voice, “we were doing the best we could under the circumstances.”
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.
Where did they get the idea they could do that.
Yeah and we were right because we did eeny meeny miny mo. Just a lucky guess.
So we’re not really more right that she was so she can’t be that wrong, right?
Wrong.
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?!”
NO…………..she has to pay the ultimate price…………death !
‘Oster at least seems to be a wokester …….. who will admit she was wrong’
I differ, she’s a wokester looking for cover as the shtf. Knew wrong, did it anyway.
While they’re planning and implementing the smugness of the know-it-all intellect can’t imagine consequences. Perhaps they rarely if ever experienced real consequences for behavior.
Hemp is renewable and mostly reusable.
Nope. She admitted she was wrong for the right reasons. A true apology isn’t followed by a but. I’m sorry I broke your nose, buuut its your fault that your nose was in the way. I will never forget what these tyrants did.
I’m thinking they’re gonna steal this one like Grand Theft Auto. A little shock-and-awe to cover the nuclear detonation of the children’s vaccine schedule.
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.
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.
CFN commenters, you are the best.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A family member or a vaccinated person? Did you mean to say unvaccinated?
Yes, sorry I will only bank blood for myself or donate to a family member or donate to an UNvaccinated person. Typo on my part.
In your hiding place? Behind a tree maybe? Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes!
One I called you Dil, I didn’t think of Dilbert, but it fits.
Remember how you thought the Pilgrims came over to assimilate into Indian culture?
Attended an unexpected death funeral of a healthy young 61 year old tourist camp operator in Northwestern Ontario. Autopsy results are pending after 2 weeks. The lockdown of the camp operators had a devastating effect on their businesses. Draw your own conclusions. The political class in Canada vicious.
“…is Canada vicious.”
Wha’ happen to Canada nice?
Dat’s not da Canadian value!
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Emily does not seem to be admitting she has learned her lesson at all.
What an Agonizing Bitch.
A completely crafted non-apology ‘apology’ by a master narcissist.
Otherwise known as a crapology.
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.
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.
It’s nothing that a horrific and grinding economic calamity cannot fix. After doing things by hand again are the only alternatives left, the big guys will be long gone. They either all be dead or they’ll be changed.
You had me at ” the people who pretend to know better than everybody else.”
Here’s to hoping Emily joins the legions who “died suddenly and unexpectedly”.
Yes, from the ‘clotdemic’
A-ha! Emily’s heartstricken plea is, “please, please let me keep my insurance coverage!”
She is pretty low on the totem pole, but if her handlers still wanted her around to disseminate their propaganda, I’m sure they warned her not to get the kill shot. There is no way Gates or Soros, or any of the other demons actually took the kill shot.
She took the jab and all the boosters. She is too low and just a minion.
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’s only 7:30 am and things are completely off the rails at CFN. No surprise! Little early for the chardonnay and popcorn, though…
The river of horseshit running through your head is backing up
Yup! The stuff is backing up in rr’s main pipe and naturally the shit is spewing out of his nose and mouth. What else can the poor feller do?
He is up at 7:30 a.m. and the first thing he does is check a place he hates.
LOL.
Rivitrunter can smell the popcorn
@ riverrunner:
Perhaps it has escaped your notice that all those “authorities” whom you believd are now admitting they were wrong. Nor is it possible that their wrongness was due to an innocent mistake. It was criminal and malicious. These people are responsible for millions of deaths and injuries, which they KNOWINGLY caused.
Perhaps you could elaborate on your “on the rails” views about how we should condone and excuse mass murder.
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.
Sturdy yourselves, they are about to force you to forget your short-term memories.
No wonder why they want dope to be legalized.
…..but muh Insurrection. That happened. Ha.
We need Insurrection Memorial Museums, so we never forget!
Absolutely! Lets put Kamala on that project. She did such a great job on the border!
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.
The FBI still won’t release the tape of the pipe bomber in the sweatshirt that they employed along with the Antifa clowns caught smashing the windows.
Ashley Babbit, the lady veteran who was shot?
A phone video captured her trying to STOP some antifa fed trying to break the window.
She pulled his arm, then his backpack strap, and then was shot by (a black officer fall guy, oddly wearing a pricey suit and the signature bracelet worn by black Senator Richard Cummings.)
You obviously didn’t get that I was joking.
The keyboard alphabet is in dire need of a sarcasm character
Well, instead of one “Ha”, I should’ve done “Lol”, or my usual favorite “Bwahahahaha”. But I was lazy. Hence the one “Ha”.
“The keyboard alphabet is in dire need of a sarcasm character”
No
What you indicate as needed might be better, more vicious sarcasm, or more intelligent readers…..
My apologies to the latent geniuses trifling away on doom-porn-r-us.
Norville,
Please, I meant no disrespect. I despise emoticons and other crutches that take the place of effort.
More intelligent readers, or more astute perhaps, would be a better word.
Again, I apologize if you felt impugned.
Well, I’m hurt… and I’m melting. I need a safe space. Your macro aggressions are rooted in legacy poster privilege. Regrettably I will not stop until you are canceled
” until you are canceled”
Norville,
Actually or metaphorically?
…maybe soon….
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?
Roseanne Boyland. They tried to say she was crushed by the crowd, but there is video of police beating her when she was on the ground unconscious.

Thank you, Beryl.
Say Her Name!
So with all the supposed male threats to our nation’s capitol that day, their solution was killing 2 women.
Not surprising.
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.
They lie. They lie about Alex Jones, they lie about the ”insurrection”, they lie about the cop who had a stroke and they lie about the 2 women killed.
But be sure to believe them about everything else!
Incredibly well-written piece today, JK! More than usual!
PS – Hang em high!!!
Speaking of diligence, Jordan Schachtel’s hard work is paying off, he made an important discovery we conspiracy theorists can really use:

I’m wondering how much of the pushback to the Atlantic article would have made it onto Twitter if Elon had not just taken over and disrupted the censorship machine for a time?
Next we’ll be hearing how the reaction to the Atlantic article is an “attack on the author and a threat to democracy!”.
Literal violence!
Just like misgendering someone!
It still would have been a pile-on.
The censorship is not quite as bad as you’d think. I have always seen mainstream articles and journalists get piled on.
I think the problem is that certain people get whacked, and it’s usually high profile people who get too much attention for what they are doing like Berenson.
They don’t care if a bunch of nobodies pile on Emily.
BTW, their censorship platform is algorithm based. I do not believe that you can change all that overnight.

Oh, there will actually BE an economy in 2023?
Always an economy might be people selling firewood for food.
True. I just meant the ‘official economy’
jaja, mine is olive wood, that’s got to be close to nutritious. I can also get cherry wood, for desert.
And morning wood for breakfast
what is ‘an economy’?
digital debt from the federal reserve? hyperinflation? what?
Yes, there are. The S&P has lost 25% from its high mark and home prices are falling too. I heard on the news some reference to the new policy some stores are adopting that there won’t be a Black Friday, all the big markdowns start now. I guess they’re getting a jump on the competition and trying to move inventory.
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.
A lot of good sleuthing going on over that pandemic.
Government’s National Security Arm Took Charge During the Covid Response
In previous articles I discussed the probability that Deborah Birx, the White House Coronoavirus Task Force Coordinator, was not a representative of the public health agencies but, rather, was appointed by the National Security Council. I now have proof that this was, indeed, the case.
https://brownstone.org/articles/governments-national-security-arm-led-the-covid-response/
Thanks for checking this out! There are far too many appointees that are not beholden to the people that are getting to change life in America as we knew it.
kudos, BOO
i knew this was always part of gates, WEF, WHO, depopulation scheme, but if it turns out the intel agencies were the main operators and strategists of this genocide and global coup, then maybe we don’t need them either.
It is all one big apparatus. Follow the money, and their public proclamations, ofc.
The rich and powerful would like staying rich and powerful.
Preferably on an unspoiled planet not overburdened with too many useless imbeciles.
It is a noble quest.
You forgot the “ha, ha” to indicate sarcasm.
Go rub elbows with humanity for a bit. Not in your 55-and-over community.
Go where the other 90+% live.
I beseech you to muster a ha-ha
@ Norville Rogers:
Now that we’ve been besought, I don’t know what else we can do! Consider my elbows rubbeed.
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.
A clean mind cannot be washed.
So you don’t believe in over-population? Or are you thoroughly confused at this point since the bad guys are actually right?
I believe that there is a depopulation agenda. Because there is.
And it’s bad or good because there is over-population? Choose one.
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.
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.
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
100% agree about Musk. Really odd people believing he’s some sort of benevolent guy who loves free speech.
I’ve long sensed that Musk is a “co-intel-pro” kinda guy. Or, perhaps a Trojan Horse?
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.
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.
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!
I do think that this nasty plan-damn-demic does have silver linings. More people are becoming, not woke, but awakened.
Kudos to you for homeschooling! That’s happening more these days too.
Yo Micky, do you remember grandma’s pill dispenser?
You know? That rectangular plastic contraption with boxes for all the days of the week across it? To keep the drooling years part 2 going on?
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.
There are even purple pills? And don’t even get me started on “based”
Brava to you for homeschooling your children.
You get it! Your kids are the real future.
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.
For all the People who died or were injured from “The Vax” – NO AMNESTY.
For all the Elderly who died in nursing homes without their families – NO AMNESTY.
For all the Children who were emotionally, intellectually, psychologically, and spiritually injured from the lockdowns – NO AMNESTY.
For all the Unvaccinated who were excoriated, ostracized, vilified, persecuted, and fired from their jobs – NO ANMESTY.
For all the business owners who were financially destroyed from the lockdowns – NO AMNESTY.
To all the political, media, medical whores and fascists, who destroyed the US Constitution and civil society – NO AMNESTY.
To all the government bureaucrats and global elites who perpetrated the greatest crime against humanity – NO AMNESTY.
JUSTICE IS COMING.
I am unconvinced that tribunals will happen.
” 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.
never but thought ?
“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.”
Kesa,
Nor a threat of eternal damnation….
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.
But then , in my experience, pensioners or would – be pensioners of the criminal justice system are as famous as used car salesmen for their veracity.
He loves to mock believers. A nihilist who was married to a fundamentalist Christian. There a lot of resentment stored up in there.
Jarek,
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”?
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.
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.
well, they certainly don’t fear the DOJ or ICC
but that brings us back to the lower terraces on your pyramid.
Some people get off on victimhood, and fear-adrenalin.
I think what fear does is expose stupidity in short order. Either the intellect is not up to handling the danger, or (most likely in this case) the mindset (a major component of stupidity) can’t adapt to the circumstances.
” ‘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.
I might call a formula like this ,
” The charity that keeps on taking. “
If they are Evil, then they aren’t equal in virtue.
But yes, it’s good but used too often. The opposite fits our situation better: Never attribute to stupidity (or carelessness) what can be attributed to malice.
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!”
Like Hillary saying, Women are the ones who really suffer in war. The men just die….
Then there’s this:
“50 literary figures petition Penguin Publishers to cease publication of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barret’s book” due to harmful content.”
“We oppose censorship and believe in free speech, but …”
Speaking of scolds, nannies and pettifoggers.
Ah….The harmful content must have been something like, “Marriage should only be between a real man and a real woman”. Or, “No one should transition before the age of 18”. Or the really harmful possibility, “Parents inherently have more say in their kid’s lives than school administrators”.
” Or the really harmful possibility, “Parents inherently have more say in their kid’s lives than school administrators”. ”
Well I have been called an enemy of the United States ( though , granted , I am )
Or a backward , superstitious, spiteful medievalist for claiming precisely that.
Hell hath no fury like an American voter denied their control – freak wishes.
Communists and Nazis were scarcely necessary.
I’m quickly seeing that you are just someone who likes to be a contrarian. It gets your juices flowing I’m sure.
I consider myself to be an enemy of the US Guvmint. Well, pretty much all guvmints. And I am not loathe to point out the failings of the USA historically when it needs to be pointed out.
But parents insisting that they have more say in their kid’s lives than administrators does not make them “control freaks”.
Now, go smell your own farts. Get high.
Such people on the internet are known as “Edgelords”.
The least one can do is be honest about it, eh?
This wouldn’t be the first time someone on CFN insulted me
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.
Kesa, what can I say? 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. That’s fucking crazy. You want the scent without the flower. We are the Flower and you need to learn to appreciate us. Until you do, you’re like your less brethren who kill the goose who lays the golden egg.
You got that far bro?
Sorry Kesa…..I did indeed misunderstand you. I myself was misunderstood earlier. If that helps. Lol…
But yes, I read through your post too fast without discerning what you said. My apologies.
The latest post on The Covid Blog really is worth a look at right now. Damning information is now out proving that the Guvmint did indeed tell, or force FB and Twitter to clamp down on “COVID disinformation”.
“The documents also show that former Twitter General Counsel Vijaya Gadde met with Homeland Security officials at least ten times since 2021.”
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.
Kari Lake needs to be the model for the MAGA model.
No forgiveness
Blast the media, shove their BS down their throats.
State power, tell the Feds to take a hike.
Face down every lily livered leftist face to face. She scared the hell out of her opponent who refused to debate.
Will I vote for her? Already did!
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.”
Paula, seriously? No, like srrsssly?
Uh, the like new variants don’t get released until like after the election?
Uh, duhhhhh
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.
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.
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.
Then, as independent nations, states could join the BRICS.
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.
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.
And researchers remarked on the improbability of Omicron being a natural variant when it suddenly appeared in South Africa and somehow spread all over the US by the next week.
It was too different to be natural.
Have you ever seen Omicron? Has anyone?
Yes, Jarek.
They have seen it, they have mapped its genome, they know that it could never have developed its 32 mutations naturally.
Didn’t I tell you before to leave me alone with your “it’s never been isolated” imbecility?
Begone!
Paula
We will never know what happened for certain.
In the past, governmental power grabs were covered up by going to war.
Now, especially with the Dems, it is done by divide and conquer, head off the research at every lab, stop any cooperation in finding out the true answers.
Dustin Hoffman’s character in “Outbreak” said it well,
It is their weapon, they want their weapon.
When they were about to blow up a city with a MOAB.
This is faith, Paula. You’d be better of believing in the Trinity.
Get lost, Fauci stooge.
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”.
Exactly!
The one in Iran was a doozy! Wiped out quite a few members of the Parliament.
How did that happen? How did it get to the Iranian Parliament from that Wuhan wet market? There has to be intermediate hosts, but they never managed to track them.
It is a mystery, my son.
Have you looked at simultaneous large 5G rollout in those same areas ?
I came across it early in this deadly fiasco. Seemed like a coincidence, I’m not big on coincidence.
” 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.
I love how you capitalize Don’t. Vintage Kesa. You refuse to know anything about her. Guess what? Most of us don’t know anything about her either. You’re not better than we are – even by your own skewed metric.
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. – Kesa
===========
Actually it’s the other way around Kesa. Senile people are more likely to remember things from the distant past than they are to remember what they had for breakfast this morning. I have observed this phenomenon in Peter many times.
Mr Kunstler,
Some countries have nearly 100% vax rate. In ten years I wonder how their populations will look. The criminality of it all is unbelievable.
That is all.
Out.
“In ten years I wonder how their populations will look.”
I’m guessing African and/or Muslim.
It’s 1:30 PM EST and Vlad has yet to make an appearance.
Can we get Coeur d’Alene’s finest to make a welfare check or something? He might be at home getting hammered.
He’s here, pestering the women, as per usual.
Aww, shinola. Here it comes.
MSNBC is reporting that pediatric hospitals are overwhelmed, running out of ICU beds because of “children contracting RSV, a respiratory virus.”
After the Mother of All Elections, comes the next pandemic to demand childhood vaccination.
Such convenient timing with the childhood schedule.
This is it. They’re coming for the kids. There will be no grandchildren: Children of Men.
They’ve always had in mind, the subscription model, for these new “vaccines.”
Children put on this plan at birth will never develop their own immune systems.
Dontcha know?
Humans are bad for the environment.
And a bad environment is bad for the humans who will be permitted, or afforded, to enjoy it.
-Farming is bad
-Driving is bad

Gee, it seems like anything that most people use to survive is bad for the environment?
Ain’t that something?
Klaus “Anal” Schwab and Yuval “Gollem” Harari approve of your list.

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.
There will be One: A Black, just like on Dr Who. And the One will become Two, the Two, Three and the Three all the Ten Thousand things.
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”.
Good point. Another way the medical industrial complex rakes in more money are people going to the ER with the sniffles.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Link?
All in all, Ms Oster’s piece is a sign that the Covid Cult is collapsing, and that they are preparing for the aftermath.
Before I forget again, I’ve been meaning to post this opinion piece on why Obama is not the man behind the curtain.
In short he’s too lazy and not all that bright.
No, the feckless Obama is not pulling Biden’s strings
Exclusive: Jack Cashill declares of 44th president, ‘He is not a serious man, never was’

I would tend to agree. He takes orders.
He cannot even speak without a teleprompter, which is something that even the Orange Man managed on a regular basis.
People fall for his affectations.
He has a full quiver of accents to draw from:
-Erudite patrician
-southside Chicagoan
-country boy
-joe six-pack white guy
-my brutha
lol, you are right.
Orange man spoke at rallies off the cuff, something even Obama could not do well.
Obama was possibly one of the absolute worst off the cuff speakers.
He had a stuttering problem and even had issues reading off the teleprompter to be honest.
Trump is not a great off the cuff speaker or teleprompter reader, but he is decent and can manage to go an hour and a half or so off the top of his head.
Everyone in the Pyramid takes orders except the One or Few at the top. Everyone in between the top and the bottom also give orders.
He’s just a bag man.
When Obomba ran for president in 2008 my dad (a Chicago lawyer who knew the deal) said he wouldn’t vote for the snake-oil salesman or the warmonger.
He voted for Nader. I really respected him for that.
We need to remove the over reaching powers that were exploited by these politicians under the guise of a pandemic. Powers to close churches, restaurants, bars and funerals while allowing Walmart, Target, mass protests and political functions to continue.
And Napa Valley dinner parties
“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.
And the thing is: they will do it again. With nary a look back.
And think we are suckers for letting them off the hook. There is no genuine repentance with these types. I doubt they feel any real sorrow over what they did. If we allow it, they will do something else equally cruel. Causing suffering brings them great joy!
When the same power that be control the judiciary, there is no place you can go for Justice.
That is why the Uniparty autocratic judiciary and media the Dem led Deep State has created must be stopped. How?
A swing Right on the vote needs to happen to balance things out.
Our two worst presidents that allowed this Leftist swing to happen by being Leftists in sheep’s clothing were the two Bushes. Their legacy, Liz Cheney just got booted, thank God.
Whew! Roundball’s wound up and smokin’!
Meanwhile, my soon-to-be retired dentist of many years told me today what “long in the tooth” really means.
Stick around long enough and you learn something new every day.
It means what it means you bloody idjut!
The aged have receding gumlines and therefore their teeth look longer.
There is no other meaning (face-palm)
I think it comes from horses.
You can (well, some people can) tell the age of a horse by how long its teeth are.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth because you might find out it’s pretty damn old.
Tom does seem to be coming upon this knowledge rather late in life.
Evidently his gums are receding. Poor bastard. But at least he still has his teeth.
I can forgive but never, ever will empower these people. Forgiving them doesn’t mean the other person doesn’t face severe consequences for their actions. This ordeal was cruel, and we are still learning how evil the whole thing was. I get upset because they got away with it. Even if they face the consequences, they killed and maimed human beings, including innocent children. All of us will have to live with this for the rest of our lives. These subhuman beings have sucked all the joy out of life. Even if Justice is served, we will see the effects of this for the rest of our bloody lives. We are entering times of sorrow. God help us!
Here in Europe they barred “unvaccinated” families from shopping for food.In France Macron had security goons at store entrances. Here in Germany, they nearly went that far, barring people from everything but the grocery store.
Signs hanging in the windows demanding papers. Police violence unleashed on the “others.” Take a look at some of the video compilations of the beatings, the attack dogs, the tramplings, in Holland, France, Austria, Germany.
You can forgive that? Never.
Trial and jail or death.
Agree.
Zero forgiveness.
They do not care, Mary. Power people only respect power, when someone clubs them up side the head.
Forgiveness is not an issue.
Of course they don’t care. They might when the people who don’t forgive them start fighting back, though.
This is often the case, John, and this rule is applicable to most situations.
Thank goodness the monarchial system was left behind in 1776. Their legacy in Europe is still around.
What do you call the US with its ruling families?
Same shit, without as much pomp & circumstance.
Except when one of them dies, like John McLame.
The savior is that ruling families become weaker with every generation.
The Bushes with Cheneys will never forgive Trump for stealing the nomination from Jeb.
The Kennedy’s ran out of candidates.
The Clintons will try to run Chelsea if 2024 does not go HRCs way.
I hear you, it bugs me the way groups of people line up behind a dynasty.
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.
MQ & NO-
For many years I’ve thought that, “The US is a classless society,” is one of the biggest, if not the biggest single lie in American society.
You guys are spot on. We couldn’t be more class-based if we tried.
The “professional class” dimwits believe that they have somehow won the rights to think for everyone else. They are mostly dem/neolib which is now totalitarian establishment types.
And then there are the royalty above them.
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.
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.
And don’t forget Orwell’s Oceania down-under.
The police were so empowered, and so loved every moment of authority.
The entire Hollywood notion of Australians being tough independent types simply vanished.
Presaged by Hugh Jackman singing and soft-shoeing in musicals.
Ozstralia was a hoot. Let’s put it that way.
You got that right I based my opinion on Australians from films like Breaker Morant & Gallipoli. Boy was I mislead.
Crocodile Dundee was just a movie.
Crocodile Hunter was just a TV show.
The reality is that Oz is one of the most urbanized societies on Earth.
How about
‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”?
Is that film hitting a little closer to the true picture?
Or is
‘Welcome to Woop Woop’ more representative of the True Oz?
Well what to do then? What happens if there is a complete breakdown and vast numbers of enraged mobs way beyond the point of reason – drag each and every “official” they can find – out of their offices and homes and beat them to death with no mercy out on the sidewalks and in the parking lots. 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. Sweden figured out in under one month all of the above so please don’t say you didn’t know.
IMO public shaming is the ticket.
By that I mean, the stocks.
Then we, the people, can have the satisfaction of throwing rotten eggs and tomatoes and excrement at the arrogant fiends who have tortured us and now demand our understanding for their so earnest efforts on our behalf, and amnesty for any “misunderstandings”.
It’s the old “mistakes were made” gambit all over again.
“Oh no you don’t, bitch.”
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.
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.
Hell no
Good to hear ya stop by, Rules.
Has it been a good year for avocados?
Every year is a good year, BB. No more avocados in the North of Flalaland, though. Persimmons, lemons.
I’ve been thinking about the difference between revenge and resistance. The first is pointless, the other not.
It’s good to read what you have to say when I stop by. There’s still avocados in the blog, if you wanna read what I’m thinking. Same old tree hugging despair.
But the real production is in food, not writing. Eating healthy and working long hours. Have enough surplus to be at farmers markets selling direct to those that appreciate good food. Hope life is good for you. Michigania? Working on that A10?
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.
Howard Stern raged on against us, calling us killers, assholes, etc. who deserve death. He also attacked every prominent sports figure who refused to get the jab.
I saved all of their words for posterity.
They are horrible human beings, and no matter how much they try to weasel out of what they said in the future, I HAVE THE ORIGINALS.
Hmmm, Mary, maybe the unvaxxed athletes will all be champions when the constitutions of the vaxxed ones decline?
RE: Chomsky — this exposed him for what he really is. The mask truly fell. All of those years railing against “power” and the system. An utter fraud.
Ironically, Covid, one of the biggest frauds in human history, was like a wave of truth washing over us.
Someone described him once as a dead cold fish-of-a-mind. He was defended by a counter post.
Yes, that is a great irony of the covid hoax.
It exposed ALLLLLL the fakes. All of ’em.
The masks came off, eh?
Fake as in never having any presence of mind to figure things out?
Fake as in pretending they were anti-authoritarian when they were the opposite.
all 3 are tribe.
So apparently Paul Pelosi is already home, having left the hospital yesterday. A few days doesn’t seem like much time for a skull fracture. But perhaps I don’t know enough about skull fractures.
Meanwhile, his ‘attacker’ is still in the hospital with an arm injury?
Hmmmm.
Dems trying to figure out how to off him before it hits court.
But who would care about this case?
An arm injury?
Two men in a luxurious mansion in their underwear, with only a hammer between them.
That arm must be real sore.
DePape was there to break Nancy’s knee caps, apparently.
He was able to saunter up to the mansion and come right inside.
The arm injury is from the vaxx. Good thing DePape was already at the hospital accompanying his boyfriend with the busted head…
Well over twenty years ago the Rand corporation published a white paper that basically said the US needs to fight a country that can actually fight back.

There he was, under heavy fire, leading his men to rescue a kitten trapped in a burning house.
He knew he was risking his life, but he answered to a higher call.
We all miss him.

Went to my dentist today to get my teeth cleaned. Wore a mask into the clinic only because I had to.
Took it off immediately at the hygienist’s direction so I could “open wide”. I noticed she had the sniffles, but at least she had a face shield and mask, so hopefully I won’t come down w/ a fatal cold.

I watched a YouTube video from a few days ago hosted by the Grayzone (not subscribed to) which popped into my feed as a recommendation. They were interviewing Roger Waters. He spoke of Bono (U2) and the Davos crowd and how so many influential people get co-opted by them. He mocked Bono. It was good. I gave it a thumbs-up. The next time I logged into YouTube the first recommendation was a video about a USA and Israeli joint commemorative flag lapel pin. ??? Oh, because Roger Waters!!!
He spoke of Bono (U2) – Norville R.

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.
yeah, benr. I see a big increment in training usaf missions above my rural neck of the woods. A-10’s low altitude, and high altitude dogfights, tomcats I believe but could be f-15’s.
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.
I tried posting a link to The Saker in which he linked a video of Obama getting overwhelmed at a recent rally with “Fuck Joe Biden!” chants. It was very loud. And no, they were not saying “Let’s Go Brandon”. They were saying “Fuck Joe Biden”. Obama was flustered. Lol…
at least Bush 1 and 2 faded when out of the white house.
George W is back off and on showing what a rino he really is and was.
The Democrats and the media hated him back in the day, but they seem to like him now.
Go figure he was a closet liberal in most of his views.
“Set up your own rally.” More disconnect. How many people have personal PR departments, full set-up crew, etc and thousands of dollars to make that happen? What an absolute asshole.
Was Big Mike in the house?
No she was on a shopping spree with Dubya. I think Ellen was with them.
I’m sure Obama’s quality of life depends on what benr says on this freakshow of a blog.
You still here?
What is this, your go-to morning and late night pleasure? Logging on first thing in the morning and then right before you go to bed?
You’re weird.
It really only turns into a freak show when you start slinging your ridiculous opinions all over.
Guess I got under your very thin skin right little buddy?
Pssst them are not raisons under the rabbit hutch so quit eating them and maybe your shitty world view might clean up some.
No that was uncalled for. He is a heckler and a disturbance.
If you want to see how the architecture of censorship works, please watch this! I first saw Dr. Shiva report this well over a year ago. It is time people wake up and realize just how badly our freedom of speech has been destroyed.
https://youtu.be/8EtZDkZj8wk
Shiva coined the term “not so obvious establishment”.
This is probably the most instructive video on social media censorship I have ever seen. In the closing, Dr SHIVA said the original meaning of Freedom of the Press was for all American citizens to always be Journalists… Let’s see if Musk ignores the request a Republican Candidate for the Senate.
As for the IQ agencies running media, I guess that notion is not new. They probably run Global Entertainment too…
Yes, they run everything. They don’t call it “programming” for nothing. TV programming, radio programming, etc.
From the Legacy Media files: Shep Smith is ‘out immediately’ at MSNBC.
Was supposed to go at the end of the month. But they said, “No…Go on…Git!”
Playing my tiny violin fer him.
Not that I really care, but I’m a curious sort I suppose. Why the sudden boot?
I don’t know. No reason was provided. I imagine his ratings were in the tank. Not that MSNBC ratings have suffered ever since Trump left office and Mizz Maddow couldn’t foam at the mouth every night.
Oh, it’s because of new incoming brass. They like to mark their territory and ‘change things up.’ Guess they couldn’t wait. Hmmm.
Maybe it’s because he looks really weird on TV. I’m sure he looks even weirder in person. Too much makeup base and eyeliner I think.
They are OK with weird and ugly. Just like CNN. What else could explain that bald fat weird dude that was on for so long? I forget its name.
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.
I’m sure the cuckoo kiwi is right on board with Jacinda the nut.
He’s come this far, he can’t admit he’s wrong, now!
I’m sure he’ll inform us why the farmers and ranchers deserve to have the government confiscating their businesses and land.
“Balls to the wall” – lmao
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. I think that might be happening all over the country now that mortgage rates are topping 6%. I believe I read that on the CNBC site.
I haven’t been paying much attention, but I was gobsmacked when in August, my landlord didn’t raise my rent. So yeah, I think the ‘boom’ might be over – that was fast. Nevertheless, the new subdivisions and rabbit hutch apartments are being built. I hate seeing the new ugly treeless subdivisions on the foothills… absolutely grotesque.
Also, BRH, I have not seen nearly as many “for sale” signs. So I think you are probably spot on.
Less farmland = more space for elite bunkers. NZ has always been their favourite home from home when the going gets tough.
Well, similar to what’s going on in the Netherlands, GA. Where is the food supposed to come from if they’re closing farms? One wonders why the PMs of NZ & The Netherlands aren’t looking out for the interests of their own citizens instead of sucking up to Schwab and his WEF?
They have to starve people out to force them to accept UBI.
this depresses me.

The Netherlands is to apparently to become a ‘tri-state city’:
riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/modern-day-censorship/megalopolis-tristate-city-instead-of-farmers-in-netherlands/
tristatecity.nl/
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.
And of course the plan doesn’t involve quite so many of us requiring food.
Yeah, you know the hype: vertical hydroponic farms operated by robots, blah blah. Technotopia.
The hope is that a crash in available energy will soon make this BS fade away, and large numbers of people realize they need to get a hoe and do what diesel and chemicals were doing before… for maybe a loaf of bread and and egg a day. That’s what you get for muscle-powered organic agriculture.
The spinach towers with their pumps, lights and robots will be dark.
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?
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’).
Rulo, always good to hear from you when time allows. May your loaf and your egg always taste of the love you put into producing them.
“Hey, where is Redneck Liberal?”
He got reassigned to the Taiwan desk of the ASIS
MQ…do you really live in Idaho? OMG, WTF, LMAO. What a shitty state to live in. You seem more like a Californian.
Shitty? Guess you’ve never been here. Breathtakingly beautiful.
Rednut’s being ridiculed, at least I’m being ignored. Where’s OG Hawkins? Or Q, for that matter. He’ll set the world straight. I guarantee it!
Yes, where is OG? And Anmari. Canada’s quite these days
Please don’t summon the crazy nutjob OG. Thank you.
Ah yes, the drama. LOL. De-summoning…
The only thing shitty is the dysfunctional state of your mind little troll.
An Oxford professor (what else …) argues that it is ethical to let meat eaters die, because of the harm they do to animals. So, if one fell into a lake in front of you, you shouldn’t feel bad for just letting him/her drown. Greater good and all that.
msn.com/en-gb/lifestyle/other/oxford-philosopher-says-it-s-ethical-to-let-someone-die-if-they-re-a-meat-eater/ar-AA13K2aG
He’s a meat eater himself, though, although he’s called Professor Plant. 🙂
A bizarre form of nominative determinism, or maybe I’ve been asleep and it’s April Fool’s Day.
He belongs in the company of those I mentioned above, Noam et al., who are so very cavalier about who should should die.
Pity Noam’s still ghosting about, the useless sack of psyop shit.
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.
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.

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.
But some of us actually saw it and realized what they were doing as it happened, and no one listened to us.
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.
JohnAZ
But what about the nanobots & graphene oxides, the components that build tiny little machines when you zap the poor ‘vaxxed’ host with wifi? Or do you agree that that is just the utter nonsense it sounds like?
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.
rudolph steiners prediction? huh.
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. When people commit war crimes, crimes against humanity, and treasons it isn’t about forgiveness. With all due respect call upon the Lord for that. No. It’s about accountability and paying what is due for that.
I agree that my letter was more polite than she deserves, but my polite tone stood a better chance of her actually reading it.
@ Zoltar:
I think you meant “credulity,” rather than “credibility.”
No, I did not. Please note that I did indict academics for their credulity, for which they should have to pay with the loss of their intellectual credibility.
Intellectual Gullibility, Q?
@ all y’all commenters
One of you in the past month mentioned about having droopy eyelids fixed via surgery and I got the impression the recovery was not proceeding as quickly or as free of pain as had been hoped.
Since I am considering such a procedure in the near future I was hoping to get an update. I forget who that commenter was.
I think that’s Dis.
Hey Q lol!! That was Disaffected.
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.
Her sag is reappearing with time, about six years ago. – JAZ
===========
No problem with the six years, I expect to be dead by then.
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.
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.
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.
Mine was just excess lid skin with no significant brow overhang, so it didn’t qualify. – Disaff
===========
So you went ahead and paid out of pocket because the procedure was deemed to be for cosmetic purposes? Right?
What did you take for the pain? Tylenol or something more potent?
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.
Wow. Take that, Hillary.
Yes, there will be no taking of prisoners. The prisons were defunded har har 😉
Lake is a joke.
Hillary said President Trump was illegitimately elected. Thus it is a joke when she speaks of anyone denying elections. Kari was simply signaling what time it is. And the joke is on you, sweetie
Unfortunately, you’re too dumb to realize that the joke will be on all of us if she’s elected.
How patronizing of you. Explain why please. I am genuinely listening.
Have you actually listened to Lake?
Yes, many times. Why is she a joke?
Aren’t you an Aussie?
Worry about your own country, which is becoming an authoritarian nightmare.
@rr
The better question and I am sure the one you are going to avoid and run from is have you listened to any of the top three Democrats?
Joe Biden obvious mental decline and he was not all that sharp in his prime.
Nancy Pelosi is drunk all the time and sliding down the dementia hole herself.
The cackling Kamala sounds dumber than all of them when they were in their prime.
Casting that stone into the massive glass house was probably not your best opener.
Yet another losing argument.
It’s pretty obvious you were not the captain of the debate team.
Ha, Lake is a joke?
No, she is the next governor of Arizona and will undo all the stupid damage that has been done by the Dems in DC to Arizona.
As usual, you know nothing other than what your chosen media tells you.
Watching the polls today.
Riverrunner, you are soon going to be a disgruntled
MINORITY! Good riddance!
And why don’t you quit name calling folks that believe in their credo as much as you do. Typical Leftist, all BS and no substance.
He is not even ‘Murican so he is not a minority in fact he is not even a factor. He is not even an illegal alien voting illegally in out elections.
Just another weirdo howling at the moon after a few to many crisp chardonnays.
Polls?
I thought they were discredited beyond recognition in 2016 & 2018.
Don’t hold your breath, JohnAZ…whatever the outcome of the ballot counts, it’s going to result in a shitstorm.
WOW is right.
Political violence and deplorables vs Democracy…whose side are you on?
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.
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.
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?
“…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:
youtube.com/watch?v=yOMjDzya7eE&t=246s)
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.
All he can do is talk drivel, and use MSNBC terminology.
@ MaryQueen:
I presume “tyranny” is when someone misgenders him–or tells him he’s fat.
Objective reality is indeed inflexible. But I don’t know if I’d call it tyranny for someone to draw his attention to reality.
Naw it is the same old story of massive projection.
He calls everyone crazy while ignoring the very fact he supports insanity.
He then tells sane people they are crazy for not supporting the raft of horrible ideas being promoted as normal behavior and belief systems by the politically and morally corrupt Democrats.
Just pick DNC supported plank talking points and look at the crazy oozing from it.
Just look at the posts and caliber of his complaints and arguments.
Bankrupt incoherent and usually full of crap.
That would mean we would be voting for DEMOCRATS as they appear to be clueless on every commonsense issue you could name.
Gee whiz just look at how well Biden is performing he is confused as to where he even is half the time.
Does he know what day,month or year it is?
Does he know he has been installed as resident in the Whitehouse?
The tree top Democrats in power right now put the three stooges to sham for ridiculousness and out right stupidity and incompetence.
Joe Biden
Kamala Harris
Nancy Pelosi
Two out of three are demented and the other one is just an idiot.
Three not treetop how ever they do sling shit like monkeys so that might be an apt typo
And you need to lay off the Bannon and get back on your sanity meds.
Lol you aren’t very good at this you know. DNC or fed?
Democracy is intact when Democrats win elections — does that about sum it up lol?
Democracy is intact when Democrats win, when censorship is rampant, when elections can’t be questioned and when mostly peaceful demonstrators burn down cities.
Says the guy who is probably single handedly polluting the sewage plants with SSRI, THC and a heavy side does of Lithium.
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.
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.
‘The antifa.’ lmao
Disabuse me of how Antifa does not employ Fascist tactics.
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.
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.
And by support, I mean their beat down of Antifa ONLY.
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.
